Ah, Paris the incomparable ! Whether you've suddenly found yourself with travel brochures in your hand or you prefer to travel from your armchair, Paris is one of those cities with wide open arms. Where to begin Well, follow me!
Louvre
Many people lose interest when you talk about museums, but you know where we are heading, don't you This is one of the top 10. Wear comfortable shoes, prepare enough water, and know what you want to see. The Mona Lisa may not be your cup of tea, but we recommend at least Liberty Leading the People, The Raft of the Medusa, and so on.
Musée d’Orsaya
If you can do without art-although we doubt anyone can—we'd recommend that you walk inside this museum. The light inside is worth your attention. Once a train station, the Musée d’Orsay has been repurposed and is now a pleasing wonder with Postimpressionist paintings and more to suit most tastes.
The Seine River
All you have to do is decide which bank you prefer, left or right. Each has its unique pleasures. Home to cultural, fashion and artistic riches, the left bank is lined with cafés, which are a good place to meet your hero or heroine. But also consider the right bank, especially the Picasso Museum, an excellent place to hang around.
Giverny
Lying about 45 miles from Paris, this village is the hometown of the late artist Claude Monet. It is as if you've stepped into one of his paintings—a perfect blue-green bridge with water lilies (睡莲) fully open below and a warm peach-pink brick house. The whole scene is designed to please the eye.
1. What can visitors do in the Louvre
A. Ride on a train. B. Drink a cup of tea.
C. Appreciate Mona Lisa. D. See Picasso paintings.
2. If you are a fan of Monet, which place probably attracts you most
A. Louvre. B. Musée d'Orsaya. C. The Seine River. D. Giverny.
3. What do the four attractions have in common
A. They are suitable for art lovers.
B. They are all famous museums.
C. They are in the center of Paris.
D. They are the most popular places.
【答案】1. C 2. D 3. A
【解析】

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Louvre中“The Mona Lisa may not be your cup of tea, but we recommend at least Liberty Leading the People, The Raft of the Medusa, and so on.”（《蒙娜丽莎》可能不是你喜欢的作品，但我们至少推荐《自由带领人民》、《美杜莎之筏》等等。）可知，游客在卢浮宫欣赏《蒙娜丽莎》。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Giverny中“Lying about 45 miles from Paris, this village is the hometown of the late artist Claude Monet.”（这个村庄距离巴黎约45英里，是已故艺术家克劳德·莫奈的故乡。）可知，如果你是莫奈的粉丝，吉维尼这个地方可能最吸引你。故选D项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Louvre中“The Mona Lisa may not be your cup of tea, but we recommend at least Liberty Leading the People, The Raft of the Medusa, and so on.”（《蒙娜丽莎》可能不是你喜欢的作品，但我们至少推荐《自由带领人民》、《美杜莎之筏》等等。）、Musée d’Orsaya中“Once a train station, the Musée d’Orsay has been repurposed and is now a pleasing wonder with Postimpressionist paintings and more to suit most tastes.”（Musée d’Orsay曾经是一个火车站，现在已经被改造成了一个令人愉快的奇迹，里面有后印象派的绘画，还有更多的作品，以满足大多数人的品味。）、The Seine River中“Home to cultural, fashion and artistic riches, the left bank is lined with cafés, which are a good place to meet your hero or heroine.”（这里是文化、时尚和艺术的宝库，左岸排列着咖啡厅，是遇见你的英雄或女主角的好地方。）和Giverny中“Lying about 45 miles from Paris, this village is the hometown of the late artist Claude Monet.”（这个村庄距离巴黎约45英里，是已故艺术家克劳德·莫奈的故乡。）可知，这四个景点的共同之处是它们都适合艺术爱好者。故选A项。

“All right, class, settle down!” My Spanish teacher, Morales, shouted at the class, “You must write about your best friend. Begin, no talking!”
I slowly began to write in Spanish: My best friend is Hayley. She’s a soccer player. She plays the violin, like I do. We’ve been best friends since the fourth grade.
This is my usual reply to the “best friend” question. The problem is, Hayley isn’t real. I have to imagine a best friend because there have been too many times I’ve been asked to describe this person, too many times I’ve replied, “I don’t have one,” and too many times I’ve heard, “Why not Don’t you want a best friend ” It’s as if people think I’m too shy to find one. The truth is, during school, I’ve watched with envy (羡慕) the best friends who skate together and who call each other nicknames.
I’ve often wondered: Does not having a best friend mean I am defective (有缺陷的) Should I be awkward that the only people I hang out with are my parents Will I have to face heartbreak and failure alone Sometimes I tell myself, “Just be strong. There’s no way you’ll ever succeed because you can’t deal with the smallest problems in life.” Considering these thoughts makes me lock myself in my room and take psychology(心理) tests on my phone to find out why I am defective.
But as I look through my phone, I ask myself, what would Hayley say to me right now As an imagined character, Hayley can say what my mind tells her, “You can only do so much, and self-doubt uses most of the ‘so much’ you can really do.”
When Morales hands back my paper describing Hayley, she tells me, “She seems like a great friend!”
“Yeah,” I smile. “She’s the best friend I’ve ever had.”
4. Why does the author make up Hayley
A. She is too shy and lonely. B. She is in need of a best friend.
C. She admires others’ friends. D. She was tired of being questioned.
5. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4
A. She has a bad personality. B. She often doubts herself.
C. She never plays outside. D. She seldom feels heartbroken.
6. What would Hayley tell the author to do
A. Build up her strength. B. Hand in the paper.
C. Relax herself from worries. D. Have hope in life.
7. What may be the best title for the passage
A. I Am “Nobody” B. A Valuable Friendship
C. Just Be Confident D. The “Best Friend” Question
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要说明了作者给自己编造了一个最好的朋友，但因为没有最好的朋友，作者常常自我怀疑。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“This is my usual reply to the “best friend” question. The problem is, Hayley isn’t real. I have to imagine a best friend because there have been too many times I’ve been asked to describe this person, too many times I’ve replied, “I don’t have one,” and too many times I’ve heard, “Why not Don’t you want a best friend ” It’s as if people think I’m too shy to find one.(这是我对“最好的朋友”问题的惯常回答。问题是海莉不是真的我必须想象一个最好的朋友，因为有太多次我被要求描述这个人，太多次我回答说，“我没有，”太多次我听到，“为什么没有？你不想要一个最好的朋友吗？”好像大家都觉得我太害羞了，找不到舞伴)”可知，作者虚构了海莉是因为她厌倦了被询问。故选D。
5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“I’ve often wondered: Does not having a best friend mean I am defective(有缺陷的) Should I be awkward that the only people I hang out with are my parents Will I have to face heartbreak and failure alone Sometimes I tell myself, “Just be strong. There’s no way you’ll ever succeed because you can’t deal with the smallest problems in life.” Considering these thoughts makes me lock myself in my room and take psychology(心理) tests on my phone to find out why I am defective.( 我常常在想：没有最好的朋友是不是就意味着我有缺陷？我应该因为只和我父母一起出去玩而感到尴尬吗？我会独自面对心碎和失败吗？有时我告诉自己：“要坚强。你永远不会成功，因为你不会处理生活中最小的问题。”考虑到这些想法，我把自己锁在房间里，在手机上做心理学测试，以找出我有缺陷的原因)”可知，作者经常怀疑自己。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“But as I look through my phone, I ask myself, what would Hayley say to me right now As an imagined character, Hayley can say what my mind tells her, “You can only do so much, and self-doubt uses most of the ‘so much’ you can really do.”(但当我翻看手机时，我问自己，海莉现在会对我说什么 作为一个想象中的角色，海莉可以说出我的想法告诉她的话：“你只能做这么多，而自我怀疑利用了你真正能做的大部分‘这么多’。”)”可知，海莉会让作者从自己的烦恼中解脱出来。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“I slowly began to write in Spanish: My best friend is Hayley. She’s a soccer player. She plays the violin, like I do. We’ve been best friends since the fourth grade.( 我慢慢地开始用西班牙语写：我最好的朋友是海莉。她是一名足球运动员。她拉小提琴，和我一样。我们从四年级开始就是最好的朋友。)”结合文章主要说明了作者给自己编造了一个最好的朋友，但因为没有最好的朋友，作者常常自我怀疑。可知，D选项“‘最好的朋友’问题”最符合文章标题。故选D。
C
“Don’t get dirty!” was once often shouted by parents angrily watching their children ruin their best clothes. It was unavoidable that children’s whites would turn brown before the day was over.
Today, many parents may secretly wish their children had the chance to pick up a bit of dirt. With the rise of city life, and the attraction of video games and social media, contact with nature is much less than in the past. For many, there is simply no opportunity to get muddy. According to recent research, the dirt outside is teaming with friendly microorganisms (微生物) that can train the immune (免疫的) system and build the body against illnesses, such as anxiety.
These findings show that outdoor exercise is not only beneficial because of the chance to run around free—but that certain natural materials, such as soil and mud, also have powerful microorganisms which have positive effect on children’s health. Outdoor play can also offer valuable learning experiences. For example, the act of rubbing and shaping materials like mud or sand can help children develop their senses and movement.
Such activities—away from the house or classroom—may also help children to find ways to deal with emotions that may be hard to explore in other environments. So-called “Sandtray Therapy (沙盘疗法)”, which includes using sand to express one’s thoughts and feelings, is an accepted form of guidance for children who are struggling to speak out their inner emotions.
Surprisingly, people who spent most of their childhood in the countryside show a better reply to stressful events like public speaking compared with those who grew up in cities. “The people who grew up in cities are kind of ‘walking time bombs’ when facing the stress we meet today. However, people who have spent lots of time in nature since childhood are generally stronger in recovery and more positive.” says Christopher Lowry, a professor of University of Colorado Boulder.
8. What’s the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic. B. To share an opinion.
C. To tell a funny story. D. To describe characters.
9. What is a benefit of outdoor exercise
A. Gaining learning experiences. B. Experiencing the inner emotions.
C. Changing the immune system. D. Discovering more microorganisms.
10. What do the underlined words “walking time bombs” in the last paragraph mean
A. People who often arrive late. B. People doing harm to the public.
C. People who are weak under stress. D. People staying positive and powerful.
11. In which part of a website can you find the text
A. Culture. B. Health. C. Economy. D. Technology.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究表明，户外运动有许多好处，与在城市长大的人相比，童年大部分时间在农村度过的人往往对公众演讲等压力大的事件表现出更好的反应。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““Don’t get dirty!” was once often shouted by parents angrily watching their children ruin their best clothes. It was unavoidable that children’s whites would turn brown before the day was over. (“别弄脏了!”看到孩子们弄脏自己最好的衣服，父母们常常愤怒地喊出这句话。孩子们的白色衣服在一天结束之前就会变成棕色，这是不可避免的。)”以及第二段“Today, many parents may secretly wish their children had the chance to pick up a bit of dirt. With the rise of city life, and the attraction of video games and social media, contact with nature is much less than in the past. (今天，许多父母可能暗自希望他们的孩子有机会捡起一点污垢。随着城市生活的兴起，以及电子游戏和社交媒体的吸引，与大自然的接触比过去少了很多。)”可推知，作者写第一段的目的是引出话题。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Outdoor play can also offer valuable learning experiences. (户外活动也能提供宝贵的学习经验。)”可知，户外运动的好处是获得学习经验。故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The people who grew up in cities are kind of”以及后文“However, people who have spent lots of time in nature since childhood are generally stronger in recovery and more positive. (然而，从小就在大自然中度过大量时间的人通常恢复得更强，也更积极。)”可知，从小就在大自然中度过大量时间的人通常恢复得更强，也更积极，那么反过来在城市长大的人因为压力很大，所以变得虚弱。故划线词意思是“人们在压力下变得虚弱”。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“According to recent research, the dirt outside is teaming with friendly microorganisms (微生物) that can train the immune (免疫的) system and build the body against illnesses, such as anxiety. (根据最近的研究，室外的污垢与友好的微生物结合在一起，可以训练免疫系统，增强身体对疾病的抵抗力，比如焦虑。)”结合文章主要说明了研究表明，户外运动有许多好处，与在城市长大的人相比，童年大部分时间在农村度过的人往往对公众演讲等压力大的事件表现出更好的反应。可推知，文章选自网站的“健康”部分。故选B。
D
As AI becomes popular, researchers have noticed its influence on the environment. Training an AI system requires huge computing power and electricity, and the resulting CO2 emissions (排放) are one way AI affects the environment. But its environmental effect is more than its carbon (碳)footprint.
Jesse Dodge, a scientist at the Allen Institute, says, "The influence of Al systems is going to be from their applications, not the cost of training them." David Rolnick, a computer scientist at McGill University, compares AI to a hammer (锤子) “The main effect of a hammer is what is being hammered,” he says, "not what is in the hammer." Just like a hammer which can either destroy things or build a house, Al can hurt or help the environment.
In 2019, ExxonMobil, an oil company, said it would use Microsoft’s app Azure. With the Al technology, it would increase its production and create billions of dollars. This means Microsoft's AI is directly contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. This is not the only AI application that could be environmentally harmful. AI behind the ads that jump out on Instagram or Facebook pages pushes customers to spend more on products like clothes. This in turn causes more emissions through more production and delivery.
But on the other side of the coin, there are AI applications that can help deal with environmental problems, such as the destruction caused by hurricanes. One such application is xView2, a program started by a U. S. organization. It can recognize buildings damaged and people trapped in natural disasters, reducing danger and saving time for rescuers.
AI could be a valuable tool in the fight against climate change—if the Al industry can reduce its harmful climate effects. "Both AI and climate rules have roles to play." Rolnick says. When creating Al rules, he suggests considering its applications, emissions, and other production costs. Further, Dodge adds that those AI professionals should help set up some value systems to limit the technology's use.
12. Where does the effect of AI systems on the environment come from according to Dodge
A. The popularity of AI. B. The emissions of CO2.
C. The way of applying AI. D. The cost of AI training.
13. How does the writer develop Paragraph 4
A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples.
C. By comparing facts. D. By explaining details.
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Rules for AI can be helpful. B. Al's advance should be limited.
C. Production costs will be lower. D. AI plays a role in making rules.
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A. AI applications are environmentally harmful.
B. AI affects the environment by CO2 emissions.
C. AI is effective in solving environmental problems.
D. AI's environmental effect goes beyond its emissions.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了随着人工智能的普及，研究人员已经注意到它对环境的影响。训练一个人工智能系统需要巨大的计算能力和电力，而由此产生的二氧化碳排放是人工智能影响环境的一种方式。但它对环境的影响不仅仅是它的碳足迹。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Jesse Dodge, a scientist at the Allen Institute, says, "The influence of Al systems is going to be from their applications, not the cost of training them."”（艾伦研究所(Allen Institute)的科学家杰西 道奇(Jesse Dodge)表示：“人工智能系统的影响将来自它们的应用，而不是训练它们的成本。”）可知，根据道奇的说法，AI系统对环境的影响来自人工智能的应用方式。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“But on the other side of the coin, there are AI applications that can help deal with environmental problems, such as the destruction caused by hurricanes. One such application is xView2, a program started by a U. S. organization. It can recognize buildings damaged and people trapped in natural disasters, reducing danger and saving time for rescuers.”（但另一方面，有些人工智能应用程序可以帮助处理环境问题，比如飓风造成的破坏。xView2就是这样一个应用程序，它是由一个美国组织启动的程序。它可以识别在自然灾害中受损的建筑物和被困的人，减少危险，节省救援人员的时间。）可推知，作者通过举例来展开第四段内容。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“AI could be a valuable tool in the fight against climate change—if the Al industry can reduce its harmful climate effects. "Both AI and climate rules have roles to play." Rolnick says. When creating Al rules, he suggests considering its applications, emissions, and other production costs. Further, Dodge adds that those AI professionals should help set up some value systems to limit the technology's use.”（如果人工智能产业能够减少其对气候的有害影响，那么人工智能将成为对抗气候变化的宝贵工具。“人工智能和气候规则都可以发挥作用。”Rolnick说。在制定人工智能规则时，他建议考虑它的应用、排放和其他生产成本。此外，道奇补充说，这些人工智能专业人士应该帮助建立一些价值体系，以限制该技术的使用。）可推知，从最后一段我们能推断出人工智能的规则可能会有帮助。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“As AI becomes popular, researchers have noticed its influence on the environment. Training an AI system requires huge computing power and electricity, and the resulting CO2 emissions（排放）are one way AI affects the environment. But its environmental effect is more than its carbor footprint.”（随着人工智能的普及，研究人员已经注意到它对环境的影响。训练一个人工智能系统需要巨大的计算能力和电力，而由此产生的二氧化碳排放是人工智能影响环境的一种方式。但它对环境的影响不仅仅是它的碳足迹。）可知，文章主要讲的是人工智能对环境的影响超出了它的二氧化碳排放。故选D项。

第二节（满分25分）
47. 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。
I was used to correcting my school essays (作文) with some red-ink marks until I met my high school English teacher, Linda Christensen. For our final projects, Ms. Christensen would write two-page letters with praise and professional comments. I had never had a teacher who was so thoughtful and careful with my writing.
I loved writing. It was a hobby. But Ms. Christensen was determined to make me an author. Her comments were more than just about fixing grammatical errors. She wrote questions to make my essays more detailed; she underlined passages that she agreed with. Her letters always started with how proud she was that I was brave enough to write the truth, how she saw potential (潜力) in me. I would read her words over and over.
I needed this care, this recognition. I was the last Watson child to attend Jefferson High School. My sister Cheryl was known for being one of the star writers of the school newspaper. Trisa, another sister, had participated in two study-abroad programs. Dyan, another sister, was good at playing the piano. My sisters were involved in all types of after-school activities, while I was the little one following them like a shadow. No one noticed my existence except Ms. Christensen.
Adapting to high school was challenging, and I felt unconfident. On the first day of my high school, a teacher greeted me with a hug, saying, “You have some big shoes to fill.” Then she showed me the trophies (奖杯) in the hallway. I immediately recognized several: Cheryl, Trisa, and Dyan. I was inspired, yes, but mostly worried.
My Spanish was so-so. I got good grades but was not a top student. I loved music, but I wasn’t good at playing any musical instrument. I tried to walk in my sisters’ shoes, but they didn’t fit. I tried to follow their steps, but it’s too hard, really.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
And then I met Ms. Christensen.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It was Ms. Christensen that gave me the power to be an author.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para 1:
And then I met Ms. Christensen. She was different from any other teacher I had ever known. In her class, I found a safe place to express my thoughts and feelings. Her belief in me gave me the courage to stop trying to be someone else and start being myself. I remember the first time she praised my writing in front of the class. It was like a light bulb going off in my head. I realized that I had something unique to say, and people wanted to hear it.
Para 2:
It was Ms. Christensen that gave me the power to be an author. She saw potential in me that I didn’t even know existed. She taught me that writing was not just about grammar and punctuation, but about sharing a piece of myself with the world. To this day, when I sit down to write, I can still hear her voice in my head, urging me to be brave, to be honest, to be me. And for that, I will forever be grateful to Ms. Christensen.

A
Ah, Paris the incomparable ! Whether you've suddenly found yourself with travel brochures in your hand or you prefer to travel from your armchair, Paris is one of those cities with wide open arms. Where to begin Well, follow me!
Louvre
Many people lose interest when you talk about museums, but you know where we are heading, don't you This is one of the top 10. Wear comfortable shoes, prepare enough water, and know what you want to see. The Mona Lisa may not be your cup of tea, but we recommend at least Liberty Leading the People, The Raft of the Medusa, and so on.
Musée d’Orsaya
If you can do without art-although we doubt anyone can—we'd recommend that you walk inside this museum. The light inside is worth your attention. Once a train station, the Musée d’Orsay has been repurposed and is now a pleasing wonder with Postimpressionist paintings and more to suit most tastes.
The Seine River
All you have to do is decide which bank you prefer, left or right. Each has its unique pleasures. Home to cultural, fashion and artistic riches, the left bank is lined with cafés, which are a good place to meet your hero or heroine. But also consider the right bank, especially the Picasso Museum, an excellent place to hang around.
Giverny
Lying about 45 miles from Paris, this village is the hometown of the late artist Claude Monet. It is as if you've stepped into one of his paintings—a perfect blue-green bridge with water lilies (睡莲) fully open below and a warm peach-pink brick house. The whole scene is designed to please the eye.
1. What can visitors do in the Louvre
A. Ride on a train. B. Drink a cup of tea.
C. Appreciate Mona Lisa. D. See Picasso paintings.
2. If you are a fan of Monet, which place probably attracts you most
A. Louvre. B. Musée d'Orsaya. C. The Seine River. D. Giverny.
3. What do the four attractions have in common
A. They are suitable for art lovers.
B. They are all famous museums.
C. They are in the center of Paris.
D. They are the most popular places.
B
“All right, class, settle down!” My Spanish teacher, Morales, shouted at the class, “You must write about your best friend. Begin, no talking!”
I slowly began to write in Spanish: My best friend is Hayley. She’s a soccer player. She plays the violin, like I do. We’ve been best friends since the fourth grade.
This is my usual reply to the “best friend” question. The problem is, Hayley isn’t real. I have to imagine a best friend because there have been too many times I’ve been asked to describe this person, too many times I’ve replied, “I don’t have one,” and too many times I’ve heard, “Why not Don’t you want a best friend ” It’s as if people think I’m too shy to find one. The truth is, during school, I’ve watched with envy (羡慕) the best friends who skate together and who call each other nicknames.
I’ve often wondered: Does not having a best friend mean I am defective (有缺陷的) Should I be awkward that the only people I hang out with are my parents Will I have to face heartbreak and failure alone Sometimes I tell myself, “Just be strong. There’s no way you’ll ever succeed because you can’t deal with the smallest problems in life.” Considering these thoughts makes me lock myself in my room and take psychology(心理) tests on my phone to find out why I am defective.
But as I look through my phone, I ask myself, what would Hayley say to me right now As an imagined character, Hayley can say what my mind tells her, “You can only do so much, and self-doubt uses most of the ‘so much’ you can really do.”
When Morales hands back my paper describing Hayley, she tells me, “She seems like a great friend!”
“Yeah,” I smile. “She’s the best friend I’ve ever had.”
4. Why does the author make up Hayley
A. She is too shy and lonely. B. She is in need of a best friend.
C She admires others’ friends. D. She was tired of being questioned.
5. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4
A. She has a bad personality. B. She often doubts herself.
C. She never plays outside. D. She seldom feels heartbroken.
6. What would Hayley tell the author to do
A. Build up her strength. B. Hand in the paper.
C. Relax herself from worries. D. Have hope in life.
7. What may be the best title for the passage
A. I Am “Nobody” B. A Valuable Friendship
C. Just Be Confident D. The “Best Friend” Question
C
“Don’t get dirty!” was once often shouted by parents angrily watching their children ruin their best clothes. It was unavoidable that children’s whites would turn brown before the day was over.
Today, many parents may secretly wish their children had the chance to pick up a bit of dirt. With the rise of city life, and the attraction of video games and social media, contact with nature is much less than in the past. For many, there is simply no opportunity to get muddy. According to recent research, the dirt outside is teaming with friendly microorganisms (微生物) that can train the immune (免疫的) system and build the body against illnesses, such as anxiety.
These findings show that outdoor exercise is not only beneficial because of the chance to run around free—but that certain natural materials, such as soil and mud, also have powerful microorganisms which have positive effect on children’s health. Outdoor play can also offer valuable learning experiences. For example, the act of rubbing and shaping materials like mud or sand can help children develop their senses and movement.
Such activities—away from the house or classroom—may also help children to find ways to deal with emotions that may be hard to explore in other environments. So-called “Sandtray Therapy (沙盘疗法)”, which includes using sand to express one’s thoughts and feelings, is an accepted form of guidance for children who are struggling to speak out their inner emotions.
Surprisingly, people who spent most of their childhood in the countryside show a better reply to stressful events like public speaking compared with those who grew up in cities. “The people who grew up in cities are kind of ‘walking time bombs’ when facing the stress we meet today. However, people who have spent lots of time in nature since childhood are generally stronger in recovery and more positive.” says Christopher Lowry, a professor of University of Colorado Boulder.

As AI becomes popular, researchers have noticed its influence on the environment. Training an AI system requires huge computing power and electricity, and the resulting CO2 emissions (排放) are one way AI affects the environment. But its environmental effect is more than its carbon (碳)footprint.
Jesse Dodge, a scientist at the Allen Institute, says, "The influence of Al systems is going to be from their applications, not the cost of training them." David Rolnick, a computer scientist at McGill University, compares AI to a hammer (锤子) “The main effect of a hammer is what is being hammered,” he says, "not what is in the hammer." Just like a hammer which can either destroy things or build a house, Al can hurt or help the environment.
In 2019, ExxonMobil, an oil company, said it would use Microsoft’s app Azure. With the Al technology, it would increase its production and create billions of dollars. This means Microsoft's AI is directly contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. This is not the only AI application that could be environmentally harmful. AI behind the ads that jump out on Instagram or Facebook pages pushes customers to spend more on products like clothes. This in turn causes more emissions through more production and delivery.
But on the other side of the coin, there are AI applications that can help deal with environmental problems, such as the destruction caused by hurricanes. One such application is xView2, a program started by a U. S. organization. It can recognize buildings damaged and people trapped in natural disasters, reducing danger and saving time for rescuers.
AI could be a valuable tool in the fight against climate change—if the Al industry can reduce its harmful climate effects. "Both AI and climate rules have roles to play." Rolnick says. When creating Al rules, he suggests considering its applications, emissions, and other production costs. Further, Dodge adds that those AI professionals should help set up some value systems to limit the technology's use.
12. Where does the effect of AI systems on the environment come from according to Dodge
A. The popularity of AI. B. The emissions of CO2.
C. The way of applying AI. D. The cost of AI training.
13. How does the writer develop Paragraph 4
A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples.
C. By comparing facts. D. By explaining details.
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Rules for AI can be helpful. B. Al's advance should be limited.
C. Production costs will be lower. D. AI plays a role in making rules.
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A. AI applications are environmentally harmful.
B. AI affects the environment by CO2 emissions.
C. AI is effective in solving environmental problems.
D. AI's environmental effect goes beyond its emissions.

47. 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。
I was used to correcting my school essays (作文) with some red-ink marks until I met my high school English teacher, Linda Christensen. For our final projects, Ms. Christensen would write two-page letters with praise and professional comments. I had never had a teacher who was so thoughtful and careful with my writing.
I loved writing. It was a hobby. But Ms. Christensen was determined to make me an author. Her comments were more than just about fixing grammatical errors. She wrote questions to make my essays more detailed; she underlined passages that she agreed with. Her letters always started with how proud she was that I was brave enough to write the truth, how she saw potential (潜力) in me. I would read her words over and over.
I needed this care, this recognition. I was the last Watson child to attend Jefferson High School. My sister Cheryl was known for being one of the star writers of the school newspaper. Trisa, another sister, had participated in two study-abroad programs. Dyan, another sister, was good at playing the piano. My sisters were involved in all types of after-school activities, while I was the little one following them like a shadow. No one noticed my existence except Ms. Christensen.
Adapting to high school was challenging, and I felt unconfident. On the first day of my high school, a teacher greeted me with a hug, saying, “You have some big shoes to fill.” Then she showed me the trophies (奖杯) in the hallway. I immediately recognized several: Cheryl, Trisa, and Dyan. I was inspired, yes, but mostly worried.
My Spanish was so-so. I got good grades but was not a top student. I loved music, but I wasn’t good at playing any musical instrument. I tried to walk in my sisters’ shoes, but they didn’t fit. I tried to follow their steps, but it’s too hard, really.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
And then I met Ms. Christensen.

It was Ms. Christensen that gave me the power to be an author.
