阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
We know the world needs deep and rapid cuts in CO2 emissions in the face of the climate crisis. Compared with industry, buildings and transport, the deepest cuts this decade need to happen in the world’s highest-emitting field — the electricity area. This is because decarbonising the power area is relatively cheap and straightforward. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) pathway, wind and solar are projected to meet 40% of global electricity demand by 2030, rising to dominate a 60,000 TWh renewable-powered system by 2040 as coal and oil are phased out.
Among many solutions available for reducing electricity area emissions and increasing the electricity supply, two proven technologies stand out as clear winners, wind and solar power. (See the table below.)

The necessary near-term solutions for cutting power area emissions already exist, “With the speed of transition required, wind and solar are crucial for keeping the world on track for 1.5 degrees this decade,” says Fatih Birol, the Executive Director of IEA. “Building a global zero-carbon power system by 2045 will, as modelled by the IEA, still require the expansion of many types of clean power.”
21. What does the IEA predict for the global power system by 2040?
A. A balance of energy sources. B. A return to traditional energy.
C. The renewables taking the lead. D. The dominance of coal and oil.
22. What is the advantage of wind power over other clean energy sources?
A. No restrictions by location. B. Zero operational emissions.
C. The sharpest decrease in cost. D. The least time to pay back energy.
23. What does Fatih suggest beyond this decade?

The woods girl. Granny woman. Aunt Emma. To the question, “What’s in a name?”, Emma Dupree’s many given names help to tell the story of who she was.
Self-described as a “different” child since birth, Emma spent her youth wandering in the woods and along the banks of the Tar River in Falkland, North Carolina. Gathering bags in hand, she learned to identify the native plants that surrounded her home.
As she grew up, she broadened her knowledge of both body systems and health-supportive plants through experience assisting local health workers. She quickly established herself as a well-learned herbalist, and much later, “granny woman”, a title given to older folk healers in Appalachia.
As her appreciation for the gifts of the plant world deepened, it became immediately clear that her own inborn gift was to share the benefits of herbalism with all who crossed her path. At her beautifully crowded home garden, she tirelessly grew herbs for all who came calling for help with various health complaints.
Emma wasn’t one to turn away anyone who knocked on her door, even if she wasn’t sure whether or not she could help. She would put herbal preparations in repurposed jars (罐子) and instead of placing a label to the mixtures, Emma would only instruct folks in spoken words on their suggested use. In this way, she built and maintained strong one-on-one connections with members of her community. Emma didn’t set a price to her herbal services, but was happy to accept offerings of ingredients she needed for her work, such as lemons, vinegar, rock candy, and honey.
Herbalism was Emma Dupree’s means of service to the world not only throughout her many decades of practice, but even still as her legacy continues. A documentary about her work was put together by researchers in 1979, and to this day is shown to medical students as part of their instruction.
24. What did Emma Dupree like to do as a child?
A. Recycle handbags. B. Explore plants. C. Play outdoors. D. Use different names.
25. Why did Emma grow herbs in her garden?
A. To better her inborn gift. B. To test her knowledge.
C. To protect local herbs. D. To cure more people.
26. What can be learned about Emma from paragraph 5?
A. She charged high fees for treatment. B. She loved her community very much.
C. She could cure untreatable diseases. D. She emphasized written instructions.
27. Why does the author mention the documentary made in 1979?
A. To illustrate the significance of herbalism.
B. To discuss the development of local herbs.
C. To indicate Emma’s far-reaching influence.
D. To improve Emma’s ways in herbal treatment.
C
Cattle on lifelong grass diets are known as “pasture (牧场) finished”, while those that switch from grass to grain are “grain finished”. Prior research has suggested that pasture-finished beef operations have a higher carbon footprint than grain-finished operations. However, most studies have limited their focus to the amount of greenhouse gases emitted directly by beef production without considering other factors that may affect the overall carbon footprint.
To help deepen understanding, Blaustein-Rejto and his colleagues calculated and compared the carbon footprint of 100 beef operations located in 16 countries. In addition to direct greenhouse gas emissions, their calculations included soil carbon sequestration (碳封存) — the capture and long-term storage in pasture soils of atmospheric carbon, often in the form of dead plants and cattle waste. They also accounted for the carbon opportunity cost — the carbon that would have been sequestered if the land had native ecosystems instead of being used for beef production.
Extensive statistical analysis showed that the pasture-finished operations produce 20 percent more greenhouse gases than grain-finished operations — in line with prior studies. However, after including soil carbon sequestration and carbon opportunity cost, the total carbon footprint of pasture-finished operations was 42 percent higher, likely due to its more intense usage of land.
Further analysis suggested that an increase in land use intensity is indeed strongly associated with a bigger overall carbon footprint for beef operations. The calculations also suggest that, averaging across all operations in the study, carbon opportunity costs may contribute even more to an operation’s overall carbon footprint than its direct greenhouse gas emissions.
The researchers say their findings emphasize the need for climate mitigation (缓解) efforts to account for carbon opportunity cost of beef production. The authors add, “Our research reveals that the carbon cost of land use accounts for the largest part of beef’s carbon footprint. Therefore, there is an even larger carbon cost than typically found to land-intensive beef operations, such as many grass-fed systems, even when taking into account potential carbon sequestration due to pasturing.”
28. What did the prior research focus on?
A. Greenhouse gas emissions. B. Grain-finished operations.
C. Beef production. D. Pasture protection.
29. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The cost of carbon pricing. B. The ways of carbon storage.
C. The source of greenhouse gas emissions. D. The factors of carbon footprint calculations.
30. What results in a bigger overall carbon footprint of pasture-finished operations?
A. The increase in land use intensity. B. The direct greenhouse gas emissions.
C. The soil carbon sequestration. D. The native ecological land.
31. What’s Blaustein-Rejto’s probable attitude to “grass-fed systems”?
A. Intolerant. B. Objective. C. Dismissive. D. Unfavorable.
D
Imagine sitting down with an AI model for a two-hour interview. A friendly voice guides you through a conversation that ranges from your childhood, and your formative memories, to your thoughts on your career. Not long after, a virtual replica (复制品) of you is able to represent your values and preferences with surprising accuracy. That’s now possible, according to a new paper from a team.
Led by Joon Sung Park, a Stanford PhD student in computer science, the team gathered 1,052 people who varied by age, gender, race, region, and education. Through interviews with these individuals, the team developed digital agent replicas that mirrored their personalities and behaviors. As a test of how effectively these agents matched the humans they were based on, participants did a series of personality tests, twice each, two weeks apart; then the agents completed the same exercises. The results were 85% similar.
In the paper the replicas are called simulation (模拟) agents, and the impetus for creating them is to make it easier for researchers in social sciences and other fields to conduct studies that would be expensive, impractical, or unethical to do with real human subjects. If you can create AI models that behave like real people, the thinking goes, you can use them to test everything from how well interventions on social media prevent misinformation to what behaviors cause traffic jams.
However, just as image generation technology has made it easy to create harmful deepfakes (深度伪造) of people without their permission, any agent generation technology raises questions about the ease with which people can build tools to personify others online, saying or authorizing things they didn’t intend to say. Besides, the evaluation methods the team used to test how well the AI agents replicated their corresponding humans were also fairly basic. These included the General Social Survey and assessments of the Big Five Personality Traits, which are commonly used in social science research. The AI agents were also worse at replicating the humans in behavioral tests like interpreting how participants consider values such as fairness.
32. Why were the participants required to do the personality tests?
A. To improve the interview process with AI.
B. To evaluate the diversity of the participants.
C. To measure the accuracy of the AI replicas.
D. To conduct social experiments more efficiently.
33. What does the underlined word “impetus” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Challenge. B. Platform.
C. Medium. D. Motivation.
34. What is the author’s view on AI replicas?
A. They have limitations.
B. They perfectly copy humans.
C. They’re worse than deepfakes.
D. They replace human subjects.
35. What’s the best title for the text?
A. AI Replicas: Impacts for Social Research
B. AI Replicas: Changing the Ways of Research
C. AI Replicas: Potential Applications and Concerns
D. AI Replicas: Accuracy in Mirroring Individual Traits
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In our daily life, we’re surrounded by rechargeable devices like mobile phones, laptops, and smart watches — and their chargers are everywhere. You might leave your phone charger plugged in by your bed 24/7, or forget to unplug your laptop charger after use. ____36____
Here’s a key point: Chargers use electricity even when not charging. This is called “vampire power”, or standby power. ____37____ Part of this power is used to keep the control and protection circuits running while the rest is lost as heat. When we look at an individual small charger, the vampire power is very small. However, if you add up all the chargers in your home for various devices, over time the wasted energy can be significant. ____38____ Other electronic devices such as TVs draw a little bit of standby power, too. Depending on how many things you leave plugged in, over the course of the year it could amount to several kilowatt hours.
____39____ Every time electricity flows through a charger, especially during power surges (猛增), the charger’s parts wear out. It’s like driving a car too fast — parts break down faster. Most modern chargers have protections, but cheap, uncertified ones don’t. They might overheat, make strange noises, or could even start a fire.
So, what’s the takeaway? If it’s easy, unplug chargers when they’re not in use. It’s a small habit that saves energy and helps your chargers last longer. ____40____ If they feel too hot, make noises, or look damaged, replace them immediately. After all, safe charging habits are better than risking a problem later!
A. And always check your chargers.
B. There is also the risk of damage.
C. Are all chargers the same naturally?
D. Modern chargers are generally very safe.
E. But is this harmless, or could it cause problems?
F. Standby power is not limited to chargers, either.
G. If left plugged in, a charger will still draw a small amount of power.

By the time the fire truck arrived, the camper was already ____49____.
Word sprang from the ____50____ to the firehouse and then to the town’s social media page. Because the post included the make of our burned-out camper, local camper fans ____51____ the model and its owners’ plight (困境) almost instantly.
The boss of The Saddle was first to ____52____, providing food for us and our dog. Tiare, whose name we later got, ____53____ drove us to a hotel. The next morning, Alena, who sent us back home, dropped us off right at our front door, saying “Be ____54____”.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Harry slammed (猛关) his bedroom door. He’d been begging Dad for a new tablet for weeks — one with a fast camera to take photos for his art class. But Dad just shook his head every time.
“We need to save for your younger sister’s school trip to the science museum,” he’d said. Harry thought to himself, “It’s not fair. All my friends have one for their projects.”
That evening, Dad found Harry sitting in the backyard, sad. He pulled up a chair and sat down, asking Harry, “Remember that red bike in the storage room? That thing used to be my pride and joy.” Harry nodded, thinking of the dusty thing covered by a strong cloth.
“I wanted a new bike more than anything when I was your age,” Dad said. “Your grandpa found that red one at a junkyard — with a bent wheel. He said we couldn’t afford a new one. So I spent every weekend out here, fixing that old one — straightening the wheel, patching (修补) the tires, even repainting it red with leftover paint found in the storage room.” He laughed softly. “When I finally rode it, I felt prouder than if it had been brand-new. I earned it.”
“Why are you telling me this? My tablet isn’t a bike,” Harry responded.
“Because wanting things is easy,” Dad said. “But working for them? That’s when you start caring about how hard it is to get. That’s how you learn what they’re really worth. I know you want a tablet very much. But your sister’s trip — she’s been talking about it since the second grade. Maybe there’s a way to do both.”
Harry’s throat suddenly felt tight. “What if ... what if I sold my old stuff? Toys, books — have a yard sale?” Dad’s eyes lit up. “That’s a good plan. But you have to do the work — pricing, setting up, and selling. Whatever you make, every cent goes towards your tablet.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, Harry dragged boxes full of old toys and books to the yard.

第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
We know the world needs deep and rapid cuts in CO2 emissions in the face of the climate crisis. Compared with industry, buildings and transport, the deepest cuts this decade need to happen in the world’s highest-emitting field — the electricity area. This is because decarbonising the power area is relatively cheap and straightforward. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) pathway, wind and solar are projected to meet 40% of global electricity demand by 2030, rising to dominate a 60,000 TWh renewable-powered system by 2040 as coal and oil are phased out.
Among many solutions available for reducing electricity area emissions and increasing the electricity supply, two proven technologies stand out as clear winners, wind and solar power. (See the table below.)

The necessary near-term solutions for cutting power area emissions already exist, “With the speed of transition required, wind and solar are crucial for keeping the world on track for 1.5 degrees this decade,” says Fatih Birol, the Executive Director of IEA. “Building a global zero-carbon power system by 2045 will, as modelled by the IEA, still require the expansion of many types of clean power.”
21. What does the IEA predict for the global power system by 2040?
A. A balance of energy sources. B. A return to traditional energy.
C. The renewables taking the lead. D. The dominance of coal and oil.
22. What is the advantage of wind power over other clean energy sources?
A. No restrictions by location. B. Zero operational emissions.
C. The sharpest decrease in cost. D. The least time to pay back energy.
23. What does Fatih suggest beyond this decade?
A. Developing various clean energy sources. B. Boosting the use of wind and solar energy.

The woods girl. Granny woman. Aunt Emma. To the question, “What’s in a name?”, Emma Dupree’s many given names help to tell the story of who she was.
Self-described as a “different” child since birth, Emma spent her youth wandering in the woods and along the banks of the Tar River in Falkland, North Carolina. Gathering bags in hand, she learned to identify the native plants that surrounded her home.
As she grew up, she broadened her knowledge of both body systems and health-supportive plants through experience assisting local health workers. She quickly established herself as a well-learned herbalist, and much later, “granny woman”, a title given to older folk healers in Appalachia.
As her appreciation for the gifts of the plant world deepened, it became immediately clear that her own inborn gift was to share the benefits of herbalism with all who crossed her path. At her beautifully crowded home garden, she tirelessly grew herbs for all who came calling for help with various health complaints.
Emma wasn’t one to turn away anyone who knocked on her door, even if she wasn’t sure whether or not she could help. She would put herbal preparations in repurposed jars (罐子) and instead of placing a label to the mixtures, Emma would only instruct folks in spoken words on their suggested use. In this way, she built and maintained strong one-on-one connections with members of her community. Emma didn’t set a price to her herbal services, but was happy to accept offerings of ingredients she needed for her work, such as lemons, vinegar, rock candy, and honey.
Herbalism was Emma Dupree’s means of service to the world not only throughout her many decades of practice, but even still as her legacy continues. A documentary about her work was put together by researchers in 1979, and to this day is shown to medical students as part of their instruction.
24. What did Emma Dupree like to do as a child?
A. Recycle handbags. B. Explore plants. C. Play outdoors. D. Use different names.
25. Why did Emma grow herbs in her garden?
A. To better her inborn gift. B. To test her knowledge.
C. To protect local herbs. D. To cure more people.
26. What can be learned about Emma from paragraph 5?
A. She charged high fees for treatment. B. She loved her community very much.
C. She could cure untreatable diseases. D. She emphasized written instructions.
27. Why does the author mention the documentary made in 1979?
A. To illustrate the significance of herbalism.
B. To discuss the development of local herbs.
C. To indicate Emma’s far-reaching influence.
D. To improve Emma’s ways in herbal treatment.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍草药师埃玛·杜普雷一生研习本土植物,无偿用草药帮助乡邻,留下深远影响。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Gathering bags in hand, she learned to identify the native plants that surrounded her home.(手里提着收集袋,她学着辨认自家周围的本土植物。)”可知,埃玛小时候喜欢认识、探究各类植物。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“At her beautifully crowded home garden, she tirelessly grew herbs for all who came calling for help with various health complaints.(在她繁茂的自家菜园里,她不知疲倦地种植草药,用来帮助所有因各类身体不适前来求助的人。)”可知,她种植草药是为了帮助、医治更多人。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Emma wasn’t one to turn away anyone who knocked on her door, even if she wasn’t sure whether or not she could help. She would put herbal preparations in repurposed jars and instead of placing a label to the mixtures, Emma would only instruct folks in spoken words on their suggested use. In this way, she built and maintained strong one-on-one connections with members of her community.(埃玛不会拒绝任何一个敲门求助的人,即便她不确定自己能否帮上忙。她把草药制剂装进改造再利用的罐子,不给这些混合物贴标签,只口头告诉人们建议的用法。就这样,她和社区里的居民建立并维系着牢固的一对一联系。)”可知,她善待每一位乡人,能够看出她十分热爱自己所在的社区。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是尾段中的“A documentary about her work was put together by researchers in 1979, and to this day is shown to medical students as part of their instruction.(研究人员在1979年制作了一部记录她工作的纪录片,直到今天,这部影片依旧作为教学内容播放给医学生观看。)”可知,她的事迹被做成纪录片长期用于医学教学,由此体现埃玛所带来的影响十分深远。
C
Cattle on lifelong grass diets are known as “pasture (牧场) finished”, while those that switch from grass to grain are “grain finished”. Prior research has suggested that pasture-finished beef operations have a higher carbon footprint than grain-finished operations. However, most studies have limited their focus to the amount of greenhouse gases emitted directly by beef production without considering other factors that may affect the overall carbon footprint.
To help deepen understanding, Blaustein-Rejto and his colleagues calculated and compared the carbon footprint of 100 beef operations located in 16 countries. In addition to direct greenhouse gas emissions, their calculations included soil carbon sequestration (碳封存) — the capture and long-term storage in pasture soils of atmospheric carbon, often in the form of dead plants and cattle waste. They also accounted for the carbon opportunity cost — the carbon that would have been sequestered if the land had native ecosystems instead of being used for beef production.
Extensive statistical analysis showed that the pasture-finished operations produce 20 percent more greenhouse gases than grain-finished operations — in line with prior studies. However, after including soil carbon sequestration and carbon opportunity cost, the total carbon footprint of pasture-finished operations was 42 percent higher, likely due to its more intense usage of land.
Further analysis suggested that an increase in land use intensity is indeed strongly associated with a bigger overall carbon footprint for beef operations. The calculations also suggest that, averaging across all operations in the study, carbon opportunity costs may contribute even more to an operation’s overall carbon footprint than its direct greenhouse gas emissions.
The researchers say their findings emphasize the need for climate mitigation (缓解) efforts to account for carbon opportunity cost of beef production. The authors add, “Our research reveals that the carbon cost of land use accounts for the largest part of beef’s carbon footprint. Therefore, there is an even larger carbon cost than typically found to land-intensive beef operations, such as many grass-fed systems, even when taking into account potential carbon sequestration due to pasturing.”
28. What did the prior research focus on?
A. Greenhouse gas emissions. B. Grain-finished operations.
C. Beef production. D. Pasture protection.
29. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The cost of carbon pricing. B. The ways of carbon storage.
C. The source of greenhouse gas emissions. D. The factors of carbon footprint calculations.
30. What results in a bigger overall carbon footprint of pasture-finished operations?
A. The increase in land use intensity. B. The direct greenhouse gas emissions.
C. The soil carbon sequestration. D. The native ecological land.
31. What’s Blaustein-Rejto’s probable attitude to “grass-fed systems”?
A. Intolerant. B. Objective. C. Dismissive. D. Unfavorable.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍牛肉生产碳足迹的相关新研究及其得出的全新结论。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Prior research has suggested that pasture-finished beef operations have a higher carbon footprint than grain-finished operations. However, most studies have limited their focus to the amount of greenhouse gases emitted directly by beef production without considering other factors that may affect the overall carbon footprint.(此前的研究指出,牧场育肥的牛肉生产碳足迹高于谷物育肥模式,但大多数研究仅聚焦牛肉生产直接排放的温室气体总量,并未考虑其他可能影响整体碳足迹的因素)”可知,先前的研究核心聚焦点是温室气体排放。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“In addition to direct greenhouse gas emissions, their calculations included soil carbon sequestration (碳封存) — the capture and long-term storage in pasture soils of atmospheric carbon, often in the form of dead plants and cattle waste. They also accounted for the carbon opportunity cost — the carbon that would have been sequestered if the land had native ecosystems instead of being used for beef production.(除了直接的温室气体排放,他们的计算还包括土壤碳封存——大气碳在牧场土壤中的捕获和长期储存,通常以死亡植物和牛粪的形式存在。他们还计入了碳机会成本——如果土地保留原生生态系统而非用于牛肉生产本可以封存的碳)”可知,本段主要介绍本次研究计算碳足迹时纳入的各类相关因素。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, after including soil carbon sequestration and carbon opportunity cost, the total carbon footprint of pasture-finished operations was 42 percent higher, likely due to its more intense usage of land.(然而,在纳入土壤碳封存和碳机会成本后,草饲养殖的总碳足迹高出42%,这可能归因于其更密集的土地使用)”及第四段中“Further analysis suggested that an increase in land use intensity is indeed strongly associated with a bigger overall carbon footprint for beef operations.(进一步的分析表明,土地利用强度的提升确实和牛肉生产更高的整体碳足迹存在强关联)”可知,土地利用强度的增加导致牧场育肥模式的整体碳足迹更高。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, there is an even larger carbon cost than typically found to land-intensive beef operations, such as many grass-fed systems, even when taking into account potential carbon sequestration due to pasturing.(因此,就算将放牧带来的潜在碳封存纳入考量,以草饲体系为代表的土地密集型牛肉生产模式,其碳成本也比通常测算的数值更高)”可知,研究者认为草饲体系的碳成本远超常规认知,对这类模式持不支持的态度。

Imagine sitting down with an AI model for a two-hour interview. A friendly voice guides you through a conversation that ranges from your childhood, and your formative memories, to your thoughts on your career. Not long after, a virtual replica (复制品) of you is able to represent your values and preferences with surprising accuracy. That’s now possible, according to a new paper from a team.
Led by Joon Sung Park, a Stanford PhD student in computer science, the team gathered 1,052 people who varied by age, gender, race, region, and education. Through interviews with these individuals, the team developed digital agent replicas that mirrored their personalities and behaviors. As a test of how effectively these agents matched the humans they were based on, participants did a series of personality tests, twice each, two weeks apart; then the agents completed the same exercises. The results were 85% similar.
In the paper the replicas are called simulation (模拟) agents, and the impetus for creating them is to make it easier for researchers in social sciences and other fields to conduct studies that would be expensive, impractical, or unethical to do with real human subjects. If you can create AI models that behave like real people, the thinking goes, you can use them to test everything from how well interventions on social media prevent misinformation to what behaviors cause traffic jams.
However, just as image generation technology has made it easy to create harmful deepfakes (深度伪造) of people without their permission, any agent generation technology raises questions about the ease with which people can build tools to personify others online, saying or authorizing things they didn’t intend to say. Besides, the evaluation methods the team used to test how well the AI agents replicated their corresponding humans were also fairly basic. These included the General Social Survey and assessments of the Big Five Personality Traits, which are commonly used in social science research. The AI agents were also worse at replicating the humans in behavioral tests like interpreting how participants consider values such as fairness.
32. Why were the participants required to do the personality tests?
A. To improve the interview process with AI.
B. To evaluate the diversity of the participants.
C. To measure the accuracy of the AI replicas.
D. To conduct social experiments more efficiently.
33. What does the underlined word “impetus” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Challenge. B. Platform.
C. Medium. D. Motivation.
34. What is the author’s view on AI replicas?
A. They have limitations.
B. They perfectly copy humans.
C. They’re worse than deepfakes.
D. They replace human subjects.
35. What’s the best title for the text?
A. AI Replicas: Impacts for Social Research
B. AI Replicas: Changing the Ways of Research
C. AI Replicas: Potential Applications and Concerns
D. AI Replicas: Accuracy in Mirroring Individual Traits
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了斯坦福大学计算机科学博士生Joon Sung Park带领的团队开发出的能够模拟人类个性和行为的AI数字代理复制品,探讨了其潜在的应用价值以及存在的局限性和担忧。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“As a test of how effectively these agents matched the humans they were based on, participants did a series of personality tests, twice each, two weeks apart; then the agents completed the same exercises. The results were 85% similar. (为了测试这些代理与它们所基于的人类匹配的效果如何,参与者进行了一系列人格测试,每隔两周进行一次,每次两次;然后这些代理完成了同样的练习。结果相似度为85%)”可知,参与者进行人格测试是为了测量AI复制品的准确性。故选C项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后“is to make it easier for researchers in social sciences and other fields to conduct studies that would be expensive, impractical, or unethical to do with real human subjects. (是为了让社会科学和其他领域的研究人员更容易进行那些用真实人类受试者进行会昂贵、不切实际或不道德的研究)”可知,创建模拟代理的目的是为了让研究人员更容易进行那些用真实人类受试者进行会昂贵、不切实际或不道德的研究,由此可推知,划线词“impetus”意为“动机,推动力”。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, just as image generation technology has made it easy to create harmful deepfakes (深度伪造) of people without their permission, any agent generation technology raises questions about the ease with which people can build tools to personify others online, saying or authorizing things they didn’t intend to say. Besides, the evaluation methods the team used to test how well the AI agents replicated their corresponding humans were also fairly basic. (然而,正如图像生成技术使得未经许可就容易创建有害的深度伪造人物一样,任何代理生成技术都引发了人们关于可以轻松构建工具在网上将他人拟人化、说出或授权他们本不想说的话的问题。此外,该团队用来测试AI代理复制相应人类效果的评价方法也相当基础)”可推知,作者认为AI复制品存在局限性。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第三段中“In the paper the replicas are called simulation (模拟) agents, and the impetus for creating them is to make it easier for researchers in social sciences and other fields to conduct studies that would be expensive, impractical, or unethical to do with real human subjects. (在论文中,这些复制品被称为模拟代理,创建它们的动机是为了让社会科学和其他领域的研究人员更容易进行那些用真实人类受试者进行会昂贵、不切实际或不道德的研究)”以及最后一段中“However, just as image generation technology has made it easy to create harmful deepfakes (深度伪造) of people without their permission, any agent generation technology raises questions about the ease with which people can build tools to personify others online, saying or authorizing things they didn’t intend to say. (然而,正如图像生成技术使得未经许可就容易创建有害的深度伪造人物一样,任何代理生成技术都引发了人们关于可以轻松构建工具在网上将他人拟人化、说出或授权他们本不想说的话的问题)”可知,文章主要介绍了斯坦福大学计算机科学博士生Joon Sung Park带领的团队开发出的能够模拟人类个性和行为的AI数字代理复制品,探讨了其潜在的应用价值以及存在的局限性和担忧。所以C项“AI Replicas: Potential Applications and Concerns (AI复制品:潜在的应用和担忧)”适合作为文章标题。故选C项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In our daily life, we’re surrounded by rechargeable devices like mobile phones, laptops, and smart watches — and their chargers are everywhere. You might leave your phone charger plugged in by your bed 24/7, or forget to unplug your laptop charger after use. ____36____
Here’s a key point: Chargers use electricity even when not charging. This is called “vampire power”, or standby power. ____37____ Part of this power is used to keep the control and protection circuits running while the rest is lost as heat. When we look at an individual small charger, the vampire power is very small. However, if you add up all the chargers in your home for various devices, over time the wasted energy can be significant. ____38____ Other electronic devices such as TVs draw a little bit of standby power, too. Depending on how many things you leave plugged in, over the course of the year it could amount to several kilowatt hours.
____39____ Every time electricity flows through a charger, especially during power surges (猛增), the charger’s parts wear out. It’s like driving a car too fast — parts break down faster. Most modern chargers have protections, but cheap, uncertified ones don’t. They might overheat, make strange noises, or could even start a fire.
So, what’s the takeaway? If it’s easy, unplug chargers when they’re not in use. It’s a small habit that saves energy and helps your chargers last longer. ____40____ If they feel too hot, make noises, or look damaged, replace them immediately. After all, safe charging habits are better than risking a problem later!
A. And always check your chargers.
B. There is also the risk of damage.
C. Are all chargers the same naturally?
D. Modern chargers are generally very safe.
E. But is this harmless, or could it cause problems?
F. Standby power is not limited to chargers, either.
G. If left plugged in, a charger will still draw a small amount of power.
【答案】36. E 37. G 38. F 39. B 40. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了充电器长期插电会产生待机耗电,还存在安全隐患,并且给出了相关建议。
【36题详解】
由上文“You might leave your phone charger plugged in by your bed 24/7, or forget to unplug your laptop charger after use.(你可能会把手机充电器全天插在床边,或者用完笔记本电脑充电器后忘记拔掉。)”以及下文开始介绍充电器待机耗电的问题可知,此处提出疑问,引出下文讨论。E选项“But is this harmless, or could it cause problems?(但这是无害的,还是会引发问题?)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中代词“this”指代上文充电器一直插着不拔这件事,引出下文对耗电、危险的介绍。
【37题详解】
由上文“Chargers use electricity even when not charging. This is called “vampire power”, or standby power.(充电器即使不在充电时也会耗电,这被叫做“吸血鬼耗电”,也就是待机功耗。)”以及下文“Part of this power is used to keep the control and protection circuits running while the rest is lost as heat.(一部分电量用来维持控制和保护电路运转,其余的以热量形式散失。)”可知,此处需承接上文的待机功耗,引出下文对电量去向的说明。G选项“If left plugged in, a charger will still draw a small amount of power.(如果保持插电状态,充电器依旧会消耗少量电量。)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中“draw a small amount of power”与上文的“standby power”呼应,同时句中的“power”对应下文的“this power”。
【38题详解】
由上文“However, if you add up all the chargers in your home for various devices, over time the wasted energy can be significant.(然而,如果你把家里各类设备的所有充电器的耗电加在一起,日积月累,浪费的电量会很可观。)”以及下文“Other electronic devices such as TVs draw a little bit of standby power, too.(电视等其他电子设备也会消耗少量待机电量。)”可知,此处说明别的电器也有待机耗电。F选项“Standby power is not limited to chargers, either.(待机耗电也并不只限于充电器。)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中“Standby power”与上文“the wasted energy”相呼应,“not limited to chargers”呼应下文的“Other electronic devices”。
【39题详解】
由下文“Every time electricity flows through a charger, especially during power surges (猛增), the charger’s parts wear out.(每当电流流过充电器,尤其是电压骤增的时候,充电器的元件会老化。)”以及“They might overheat, make strange noises, or could even start a fire.(它们可能会过热、发出异响,甚至引发火灾。)”可知,本段讲述充电器插电带来的损坏、起火等风险。B选项“There is also the risk of damage.(还有设备损坏的风险。)”能引起下文,符合题意,该选项中“risk of damage”概括本段,和下文的“parts wear out”、“overheat”、“start a fire”这些损坏、危险情况相呼应。
【40题详解】
由上文“If it’s easy, unplug chargers when they’re not in use. It’s a small habit that saves energy and helps your chargers last longer.(方便的话,不用充电器时就拔掉。这个小习惯可以节约能源,延长充电器使用寿命。)”以及下文“If they feel too hot, make noises, or look damaged, replace them immediately.(如果充电器发烫、有异响或者外观破损,立刻更换。)”可知,这里是提醒检查充电器。A选项“And always check your chargers.(并且要时常检查你的充电器。)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中“check your chargers”呼应下文“replace them”,下文的代词“they”指代选项里的“chargers”。

One year ago, she arrived in China just before the Chinese New Year. After ____57____ (settle) into Tianjin University, Burus could not help but notice that the ____58____ (usual) busy campus was almost empty as most Chinese students had headed home for the festival. “It reminded me ____59____ one of traditional festivals in Türkiye, when we all go back to our hometowns to eat and celebrate with family. I love how both cultures value family reunions during important holidays.”
As classes ____60____ (begin) in March, Burus quickly adapted to learning and living at Tianjin University. “The teachers were so ____61____ (support). They encouraged me to practice speaking without worrying about mistakes.”
Now more fluent in Chinese, Burus feels that China has become a second home, in ____62____ she has made lifelong friends and experienced the beauty of Chinese culture. “We share so many ____63____ (similar), like our love for family, traditions and hospitality (好客).

57. settling
58. usually
59. of##about
60. began 61. supportive
62. which 63. similarities
64. buried 65. to become
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述土耳其女孩Nursena Burus来到中国学习,感受中华文化,希望成为中土文化交流桥梁的故事。
【56题详解】
考查连词。句意:对Burus而言,来到中国不只是一次学习语言的机会,更是去体验一种早已在远方吸引着她的文化。此处为固定搭配not just…but…,意为“不仅……而且……”,所以此处为连词but。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在天津大学安顿下来之后,Burus不由得注意到,平日里热闹的校园几乎空无一人,因为大多数中国学生都回家过节了。介词After后面接动名词,所以settle变为settling,作宾语。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意:在天津大学安顿下来之后,Burus不由得注意到,平日里热闹的校园几乎空无一人,因为大多数中国学生都回家过节了。此处修饰形容词busy,需要使用副词,usual的副词形式是usually,意为“通常,平日里”。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意:这让我想起土耳其的一个传统节日,那时我们都会回到家乡,和家人一起吃饭庆祝。此处为固定搭配remind sb. of/about sth.,意为“使某人想起某事”,所以此处为介词of或者about。
【60题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:随着三月份课程开始,Burus很快适应了在天津大学的学习和生活。此处为本句谓语,叙述过去发生的事情,使用一般过去时,begin的过去式是began。
【61题详解】
考查形容词。句意:老师们给予了很大支持。此处作表语,需要使用形容词,support的形容词形式是supportive,意为“给予支持的”。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:现在Burus的中文更加流利,她觉得中国已经成为第二个家,在这里她交到了终生的朋友,领略到中华文化之美。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词是a second home,关系词前面有介词in,所以用关系代词which。
【63题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:我们有着诸多相似之处,比如我们对家庭的爱、传统和好客。many后面接可数名词复数,similar的名词形式为similarity,复数是similarities,意为“相似之处”。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在今年早些时候结束为期两个学期的语言学习项目离开中国前,她在校园埋下了一个许愿瓶,里面装着她想要成为中土文化交流桥梁的心愿。bury和wish bottle之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词buried作后置定语。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在今年早些时候结束为期两个学期的语言学习项目离开中国前,她在校园埋下了一个许愿瓶,里面装着她想要成为中土文化交流桥梁的心愿。此处用动词不定式作后置定语,修饰名词wish,所以此处为动词不定式形式to become。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Harry slammed (猛关) his bedroom door. He’d been begging Dad for a new tablet for weeks — one with a fast camera to take photos for his art class. But Dad just shook his head every time.
“We need to save for your younger sister’s school trip to the science museum,” he’d said. Harry thought to himself, “It’s not fair. All my friends have one for their projects.”
That evening, Dad found Harry sitting in the backyard, sad. He pulled up a chair and sat down, asking Harry, “Remember that red bike in the storage room? That thing used to be my pride and joy.” Harry nodded, thinking of the dusty thing covered by a strong cloth.
“I wanted a new bike more than anything when I was your age,” Dad said. “Your grandpa found that red one at a junkyard — with a bent wheel. He said we couldn’t afford a new one. So I spent every weekend out here, fixing that old one — straightening the wheel, patching (修补) the tires, even repainting it red with leftover paint found in the storage room.” He laughed softly. “When I finally rode it, I felt prouder than if it had been brand-new. I earned it.”
“Why are you telling me this? My tablet isn’t a bike,” Harry responded.
“Because wanting things is easy,” Dad said. “But working for them? That’s when you start caring about how hard it is to get. That’s how you learn what they’re really worth. I know you want a tablet very much. But your sister’s trip — she’s been talking about it since the second grade. Maybe there’s a way to do both.”
Harry’s throat suddenly felt tight. “What if ... what if I sold my old stuff? Toys, books — have a yard sale?” Dad’s eyes lit up. “That’s a good plan. But you have to do the work — pricing, setting up, and selling. Whatever you make, every cent goes towards your tablet.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, Harry dragged boxes full of old toys and books to the yard.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the last customer left, Harry counted the day’s earnings.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The next day, Harry dragged boxes full of old toys and books to the yard. He carefully arranged each item, hoping to attract potential buyers. As he set up the stall, neighbors and passers-by began to stop by, intrigued by the variety of goods on display. Harry enthusiastically explained the features of each toy and book, sharing stories behind some of his favorites. The sun shone brightly overhead, and with each sale, Harry’s excitement grew. Not only was he making progress towards his goal, but he was also learning valuable lessons about communication and negotiation.
When the last customer left, Harry counted the day’s earnings. To his surprise and delight, the total took his breath away — it was more than enough for the tablet’s basic model! A wave of fierce pride washed over him, stronger than any excitement he’d felt just wanting the device. He realized Dad was right: the hours spent sorting, pricing, hauling, and selling had transformed the tablet from a mere object of desire into something deeply personal and valuable. Through effort and perseverance, he could not only achieve his dream but also develop a deeper appreciation for the value of hard work. This tablet wouldn’t just be new; it would be earned.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Harry想让爸爸买新平板电脑用于艺术课,爸爸因要为妹妹攒钱去科学博物馆而拒绝。爸爸以自己修复旧自行车为例,启发Harry通过努力获得想要的东西。Harry受鼓舞,决定卖旧物筹钱。他摆摊售卖,最后发现收入足够买基础款平板,意识到努力让物品变得更有价值。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“第二天,Harry把装满旧玩具和书籍的箱子拖到了院子里。”可知,第一段可描写Harry为了筹集买平板电脑的钱,在院子里摆摊售卖自己的旧物,并且热情地向过往的邻居和路人介绍商品,随着商品一件件售出,他不仅离目标越来越近,还学到了沟通和谈判的宝贵经验。
②由第二段首句内容“当最后一位顾客离开时,Harry清点了当天的收入。”可知,第二段可描写Harry惊喜地发现收入足够购买平板电脑的基础款,他意识到通过努力和坚持,他不仅实现了梦想,还更加深刻地理解了努力工作的价值,这个平板电脑将不仅仅是一个新物品,更是他努力和坚持的见证。
