Jason knelt on the baseball field, spotting a small piece of green among the yellow and brown winter grass. He touched it lightly, recognizing the first signs of spring. His eyes drifted to second base, where his team’s season had ended last year.
He recalled warming up for the big playoff game, the stands filled with parents and students. The Northglenn Knights were facing the West Hills Hornets, with the winner moving to the city’s Junior League Championship. Jason felt great, joking with teammates and showing off during warm-up drills.
“Knock it off, Jason,” Coach Fowler warned. As usual, Jason paid little attention. He was the Knights’ best player and knew Coach wouldn’t put him on the bench in a playoff game. Confident in his “natural talent”, he didn’t try as hard as the other players. But he was shocked when Coach left him on the bench. As the game progressed, Jason began to worry that Coach had had enough.
When the Knights came to bat for the last time, Coach Fowler called him. “Grab a bat.You’re in for Reuben.”
“Don’t worry, Coach,” Jason replied. “I’ ll get a hit.”
“Keep your focus. The team is counting on you,” Coach warned. Jason walked confidently to the plate with a smile. Despite his playful behavior, he managed to hit the ball, allowing two teammates to score and giving the Knights the lead.
As the team took the field again, Jason felt assured that the Knights would secure their spot in the championship with just three more outs. The first two outs were easy, but then a batter hit the ball towards Jason. While he was looking for his friends in the crowd, Jason missed the catch. The ball went into the outfield, allowing two Hornet players to score and ending the Knights’ season.
Feeling terrible. Jason promised to change. He worked hard to improve, helped Coach with equipment, and volunteered at the park. He finally understood being part of a team,working alongside others to achieve a common goal.
Now, as a few pieces of grass emerged from the cold ground, Jason felt his spirits lift.
He couldn’t wait for the new season. “Won’t be long now,” Coach Fowler said, walking up behind him.
“It sure was a long winter,” Jason replied.
“Yes, it was,” Coach Fowler said, “but I’m seeing signs of change.” When Jason looked up again, though, Coach Fowler wasn’t looking at the new spring grass. He was looking at Jason.
41. How did Jason feel during the warm-up drills before the big playoff game
A. Nervous and anxious. B. Tired and unmotivated.
C. Confident and lighthearted. D. Angry and frustrated.
42. What unexpected action did Coach Fowler take during the playoff game

B. He gave a motivational speech to the team.
C. He benched Jason.
D. He invited parents onto the field.
43. What mistake did Jason make during the game

B. He missed the catch while looking for his friends.
C. He forgot to run to second base.
D He cheered before the game was over.
44. What would the best title for the passage

C. The Missed Catch D. The Coach’s Challenge

Just after hatching, many birds learn to identify and follow the first moving object they encounter—a process called imprinting (印记行为、印随), which can offer protection in the wild as it helps them stay near a parent. It doesn’t take much visual information for a bird to learn to prefer one object and follow it. Researchers wanted to know whether AI models called transformers could do a similar task with limited inputs.
Transformers are generic (普通的) learning systems that can be trained to perform a wide variety of tasks, making them useful in both AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and in computer vision applications, such as autonomous car navigation.
“To directly compare learning algorithms (算法) to brains, we need to train them on the same experiences,” says Samantha Wood at Indiana University Bloomington. She first raised chicks (小鸡) in a box where the only visual stimulation (仿造物) came from a rotating 3D object presented on a screen. After the first week, she ran each chick through hundreds of test trials that showed that same object on one screen-presented from both familiar and unfamiliar perspectives—and displayed a second unfamiliar object on another screen. The chicks spent more of their time near the first object, suggesting they had imprinted on it.
The researcher then created a virtual simulation of the set-up and used a virtual agent to move through it while looking around and recording a first-person view. That provided tens of thousands of simulated images for training and evaluating four transformer models.
The AI models had just 300 milliseconds to learn from each simulated image—approximating how long biological neurons (神经元) fire after being presented with an image. The researcher found that the AIs could learn to recognise a 3D object as quickly and accurately as the chicks.
The study is “a great piece of work” in comparing machine performance with biological brains, says Antone Martinho-Truswell at the University of Sydney. But he also notes, “We might be able to say that the chick ‘saw’ its imprinting object, but that will have a component of experience to it. Particularly as imprinting is to do with identifying its mother, it would be unsurprising if that visual experience were combined with a range of other components of experience: fear changing to comfort, for example, as the chick comes to regard the object as its imprinted‘mother’.”
46. Why do newborn birds engage in imprinting
A. To stay near their parents. B. To learn how to find food.
C. To adapt to various environments. D. To distinguish different bird species.
47. How did Samantha Wood conduct the initial experiment with chicks
A. She introduced them to various sounds.
B. She let them interact with other chicks.
C. She placed them in a natural environment.
D. She showed them a moving 3D object in a box.
48. What did the test trials indicate about the chicks’ behavior
A. They preferred the familiar object.
B They were afraid of the imprinted object.
C. They confused the imprinted object with others.
D. They showed no preference for the imprinted object.
49. What role did the virtual simulation play in the research
A. It provided images for training AI models. B. It helped chicks learn more effectively.
C. It replaced the use of real chicks. D. It tested the AI models' navigation skills.
50. What’s challenging about comparing AI to biological brains
A. Creating identical physical structures.
B. Matching their processing speeds.
C. The complexity and diversity of biological experiences.
D. Ensuring they have the same visual inputs.
D
Many people believe that multitasking is an efficient way to get more done in less time,assuming it boosts productivity in both personal and professional lives. This common perception suggests that handling multiple tasks at once allows individuals to maximize their time. However, research and real-world examples suggest that this belief might be misguided.
Supporters of multitasking claim that it allows people to combine various activities into a smooth workflow, potentially resulting in improved time management. For example,a student might prepare for an exam while listening to music, thinking it helps them stay focused, or a professional might answer emails during a conference call, believing it makes their workday more efficient. The concept is that by handling multiple tasks at once, one can achieve more within the same time frame.
However, numerous studies have shown that multitasking often has the opposite effect. Research conducted by Stanford University found that people who frequently multitask are actually less efficient at handling multiple tasks than those who focus on one task at a time. These multitaskers struggle to organize thoughts and ignore unnecessary information, leading to decreased productivity. The American Psychological Association also notes that the cognitive cost of switching tasks can consume up to 40% of productive time, which significantly undermines efficiency.
Real-world examples show the negative aspects of multitasking. A driver texting while navigating traffic is more likely to have an accident due to divided attention. Similarly, an employee constantly switching between tasks may produce lower quality work and take longer to complete projects. In contrast, companies that encourage focused work periods,such as using the Pomodoro Technique, report improved productivity and job satisfaction among employees.
To truly embrace single-tasking, several strategies can be applied. Prioritizing tasks by urgency and importance is key, using tools like Trello or Asana to track progress. Techniques such as the Pomodoro Technique, which involves working on a single task for 25 minutes followed by a short break, help maintain focus and prevent burnout.
Minimizing distractions is also crucial. Establishing “quiet hours” for focused work without interruptions, and setting specific times for checking emails, can help maintain concentration. Additionally, building a workplace culture that values quality over quantity encourages thorough task completion.
Reevaluating our approach to productivity is essential. As more people recognize the benefits of focused work, a shift towards more effective task management may occur,leading to better outcomes for individuals and organizations alike. By putting these strategies into action, we can build a work environment that is more productive and rewarding.
51. What do many people believe about multitasking according to the first paragraph
A. It reduces stress. B. It enhances creativity
C. It improves social skills. D. It boosts productivity.
52. What do supporters of multitasking believe it helps achieve
A. Better teamwork. B. Improved time management.
C. Enhanced focus. D. Greater relaxation.
53. What does the underline word “undermines” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Reduces. B. Measures. C. Achieves. D. Encourages.
54. What is one impact of multitasking mentioned in the fourth paragraph
A. It improves job satisfaction. B. It reduces task completion time.
C. It causes divided attention. D. It increases productivity.
55. What is the author’s intention in writing this passage
A. To describe the history of multitasking.
B. To explain how to multitask effectively.
C. To share personal experiences with multitasking.
D. To present research on the downsides of multitasking.

阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
One hot August afternoon, Deena Hoagland and her son Joe sat on a floating platform at Dolphins Plus, a marine center in Key Largo, Florida. Nearby, a large dolphin circled, occasionally lifting its head through the water to observe them. Suddenly, the dolphin threw water on them. Three-year-old Joe, who had a stroke (中风) six weeks earlier, smiled and laughed for the first time since.
Joe was born with a rare heart condition and spent much of his first three years in hospitals. After several heart surgeries, the last one led to a stroke, which left him unconscious for eight days. As a result, he lost movement on one side of his body and couldn’t see out of one eye. Feeling hopeless and deeply saddened, Joe became despondent and lost interest in everything, even his favorite toys. Doctors suggested placing him in a full-time rehabilitation center.
Deena refused and decided to try dolphin-assisted therapy. She called Dolphins Plus and got permission to bring Joe. To the surprise of Lloyd Borgas, the owner, Deena arrived with Joe minutes after the call. Borgas was unsure about the wisdom of his generosity but led them to a platform where Joe met Fonzie, a playful dolphin.
Joe’s reaction to Fonzie was positive, and Deena brought him back daily. Joe slowly began to recover from his depression. With each visit, he regained some movement on his left side. Trainers encouraged Joe to swim with Fonzie, and by mid-September, he was swimming with his new friend. Trainers challenged Joe to feed Fonzie with his left hand,helping him regain strength. Over the next two years, Joe fully recovered.
Now a healthy teenager, Joe frequently visits Fonzie and helps his parents with Island Dolphin Care, a program Deena started to help other special-needs children. The program has been successful, helping many children and their families. Deena emphasizes that while dolphins have no special healing powers, the joy and laughter they bring to children can feel magical.

He was looking at Jason.（但我看到了改变的迹象……教练看的不是春草，而是Jason。）选项A. Signs of Change（改变的迹象）：既指春天的自然迹象，也象征Jason的成长改变，贯穿全文，点明主旨。
45. D 依据第八段He worked hard to improve, helped Coach with equipment, and volunteered at the park. He finally understood being part of a team...（他努力提升自己，帮教练整理装备，在公园做志愿者。他终于理解了团队合作……）选项D. Committed（投入的、尽责的），“worked hard”“helped Coach”“understood being part of a team”体现他对球队的投入和责任感。
C篇文章研究了鸟类的印记行为（孵化后跟随第一个移动物体以获得保护）与AI转换器模型（如ChatGPT背后的技术）的学习能力对比。研究者通过实验发现，AI模型能像小鸡一样快速识别3D物体，但指出生物大脑的学习还涉及情感等复杂体验，这是AI难以完全模拟的。
46. A依据第一段Just after hatching, many birds learn to identify and follow the first moving object they encounter—a process called imprinting, which can offer protection in the wild as it helps them stay near a parent. 刚孵化出来，许多鸟类就学会了识别和跟随它们遇到的第一个移动物体—这一过程被称为“印记”，在野外可以提供保护，因为它可以帮助它们留在父母身边。选项A.

The complexity and diversity of biological experiences. 生物经验结合了多种成分 （如情感、安全需求），而AI仅依赖视觉输入，难以模拟生物经验的复杂性。
D篇探讨了多任务处理的普遍认知与实际效果之间的矛盾。许多人认为多任务能提高效率，但研究和实例表明，它反而会降低生产力、分散注意力，甚至导致错误。文章通过斯坦福大学和美国心理学会的研究，以及驾驶、工作中的案例，论证了单任务处理的优势，并提出了优先级管理、番茄工作法、减少干扰等提升效率的策略。
51. D 依据第一段“Many people believe that multitasking is an efficient way to get more done in less time, assuming it boosts productivity in both personal and professional lives.”（许多人认为多任务处理是一种高效的方式，能在更短时间内完成更多工作，认为它能提高个人和职业生活的生产力。）选项D. It boosts productivity.（提高生产力）与原文“boosts productivity”完全一致。

53. A依据第三段“The American Psychological Association also notes that the cognitive cost of switching tasks can consume up to 40% of productive time, which significantly undermines efficiency.”（美国心理学会还指出，切换任务的认知成本可能消耗高达40%的有效时间，这严重 _______ 效率。）消耗高达40%有效时间，根据逻辑发展，效率大大降低，所以undermine是减少、降低的意思。选项A. reduce 减少符合。
54. C依据第四段“A driver texting while navigating traffic is more likely to have an accident due to divided attention.”（司机在驾驶时发短信，由于注意力分散，更容易发生事故。）选项C. It causes divided attention.（导致注意力分散）与“due to divided attention”完全一致。
55. D依据第一段“This common perception suggests... However, research and real-world examples suggest that this belief might be misguided.”（这种普遍看法认为……然而，研究和现实案例表明这种观点可能是错误的。）和第三段“However, numerous studies have shown that multitasking often has the opposite effect.”（然而，大量研究表明多任务处理往往产生相反效果。）选项D. To present research on the downsides of multitasking.（呈现关于多任务缺点的研究），文章通过研究（斯坦福大学、美国心理学会）和案例，论证多任务的负面影响，符合主旨。
