强化练(七)　跨学科语篇题
考情速递：英语作为一种交流的工具，不仅仅是一门语言，更是考生了解世界的媒介和手段。高考试题尤其是阅读理解，往往会考查涉及跨学科背景知识的文章，因此考生在备考时要关注其他学科相关知识，做到有备无患。
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2024·南昌高三一模)
One year ago，the Colorado State Fair made the headlines for unknowingly awarding first place to an artwork created with help from artificial intelligence.Now，officials with the 152－year－old fair have revised the contest’s rules：Artists must claim whether they used AI to make their entries，reports The Denver Post’s John Wenzel.
The saga (一长串事件) began last August，when game designer Jason Allen won the top spot in the fair’s digital arts competition.When he shared his victory online，he mentioned that he’d used Midjourney—an AI program that turns text into images—to help create his piece，titled Thé tre D’opéra Spatial.
Allen maintains he was open about using AI from the beginning，though judges say they didn’t know until after the fact.Either way，a claim wasn’t necessary at the time，meaning Allen never broke any rules.
His victory was controversial—and as a result，officials decided to tweak the submission requirements.At last year’s fair，which took place in Pueblo between August 25 and September 4，artists needed to “tell if art or artwork was created by using an Artificial Intelligence Generator，” according to the new requirements.
Allen wasn’t happy about the new requirement，telling The Denver Post that it was essentially a “discriminatory mark” against AI artworks.Despite the change，he decided to submit his work once again to the digital arts category.
The fair’s leaders say they plan to continue adapting as technology advances.As Scott Stoller，the fair’s general manager，tells The Denver Post，the digital arts category itself has only been around for a few decades.In the future，officials may even decide to add a separate AI category，depending on how popular tools like Midjourney become.
“That’s the beauty of art—it’s always evolving，”says Stoller.“Art can be anything，and anything can be made into art.”

(2025·福建适应性考试)
Common water plants could provide a green energy source.Scientists have figured out how to get large amounts of oil from duckweed，one of nature’s fastest－growing water plants.Transferring such plant oil into biodiesel (生物柴油) for transportation and heating could be a big part of a more sustainable future.
For a new study，researchers genetically engineered duckweed plants to produce seven times more oil per acre than soybeans.John Shanklin，a biochemist，says further research could double the engineered duckweed’s oil output in the next few years.
Unlike fossil fuels，which form underground，biofuels can be refreshed faster than they are used.Fuels made from new and used vegetable oils，animal fat and seaweed can have a lower carbon footprint than fossil fuels do，but there has been a recent negative view against them.This is partly because so many crops now go into energy production rather than food; biofuels take up more than 100 million acres of the world’s agricultural land.
Duckweed，common on every continent but Antarctica，is among the world’s most productive plants，and the researchers suggest it could be a game－changing renewable energy source for three key reasons.First，it grows readily in water，so it wouldn’t compete with food crops for agricultural land.Second，duckweed can grow fast in agricultural pollution released into the water.Third，Shanklin and his team found a way to avoid a major biotechnological barrier.For the new study，Shanklin says，the researchers added an oil－producing gene，“turning it on like a light switch” by introducing a particular molecule (分子) only when the plant had finished growing.Shanklin says，“If it replicates (自我复制) in other species—and there’s no reason to think that it would not—this can solve one of our biggest issues，which is how we can make more oil in more plants without negatively affecting growth.”
To expand production to industrial levels，scientists will need to design and produce large－scale bases for growing engineered plants and obtaining oil—a challenge，Shanklin says，because duckweed is a non－mainstream crop without much existing infrastructure (基础设施).
【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了浮萍能够提供绿色能量来源，可能成为颠覆性可再生能源来源的原因以及现阶段存在的问题等。
5.What can people get from duckweed first－hand
A.Plant oil. B.Stable biodiesel.
C.Sustainable water. D.Natural heat.
答案　A　[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Scientists have figured out how to get large amounts of oil from duckweed”可知，科学家们已经找到了从浮萍中获得大量油的方法。由此可知，人们能够直接从浮萍中获得植物油。]
6.What does paragraph 4 mainly convey
A.Options for renewable energy.
B.Reasons for engineering genes.
C.The potential of the revolutionary energy source.
D.The approach to avoiding agricultural pollution.
答案　C　[段落大意题。根据第四段的中心句“it could be a game－changing renewable energy source for three key reasons”可知，本段主要讲述了浮萍可能是一个颠覆性的可再生能源来源的三个原因。]
7.What is the decisive factor to mass－produce the plant
A.Industrial levels. B.Unique design.
C.Academic research. D.Basic facilities.
答案　D　[推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，为了将生产扩大到工业水平，科学家们将需要设计和生产大规模的转基因植物种植基地，并获得石油，这是一个挑战，因为浮萍是一种非主流作物，没有多少现有的基础设施。据此可以推断，大批量生产这种植物的决定性因素是基础设施。]
8.What would be the best title for the text
A.Duckweed Power B.Duckweed Production
C.Genetic Engineering D.Genetic Testing
答案　A　[标题归纳题。本文第一段讲到了浮萍可以转化为生物柴油；第二段讲到了新研究表明浮萍的产油量比黄豆要大得多；第三段讲到了生物燃料比化石燃料更新得快；第四段讲到了革命性能源来源的潜力；最后一段讲到了大规模利用浮萍产油的障碍。综上可知，本文主要讲到了浮萍可以作为能源。]

A pair of researchers of Leibniz University Hannover has demonstrated the means by which robots might be programmed to experience something similar to pain in animals.As part of their demonstration at last week’s IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation held in Stockholm，Johannes Kuehn and Sami Haddadin showed how pain might be used in robots，by interacting with a BioTac fingertip sensor on the end of a Kuka robotic arm that had been programmed to react differently to differing amounts of pain.
The idea of developing an artificial robot nervous system may seem contrary to all expectations，but Kuehn says doing so is important in the same way that it is good for humans to feel pain.“Pain is a system that protects us，” says Kuehn.“When we avoid the source of pain，it helps us not get hurt.” So when robots can feel and react to pain，they will become smart enough to avoid it.The more dangerous the robot registers the threat to be，the faster it will withdraw and avoid the source of danger.Additionally，Kuehn and Haddadin say humans working alongside robots that feel pain，especially those in heavy machinery，will be protected around them.
They have tested out some of their ideas using a robotic arm with a fingertip sensor that can detect pressure and temperature.It uses a robot－tissue patch (小片) modeled on human skin to decide how much pain should be felt and thus what action to take.For example，if the arm feels light pain，it slowly withdraws until the pain stops，and then returns to its original task.Severe pain，meanwhile，causes the arm to go into a kind of lockdown mode until it can get help from a human operator.
Such robots are likely to raise a host of questions，of course，if they become more common—if a robot acts the same way a human does when touching a hot plate，are we to believe it is truly experiencing pain Only time will tell of course，but one thing that is evident，Kuehn and Haddadin’s work could lead to robots that are more human－like than ever.
【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了科研人员为机器人开发了类似动物的“痛感”系统，以增强机器人的自我保护能力和安全性。文中还讨论了此研究的重要性和可能带来的问题。
9.What do we learn about the robots in the demonstration
A.They can learn skills like animals.
B.They can communicate with people.
C.They have the ability to feel pain.
D.They respond differently to requests.
答案　C　[推理判断题。根据第一段中的“showed how pain might be used in robots...to differing amounts of pain”可知，在演示中的机器人被编程以感受不同程度的“痛感”，类似于动物的痛感。由此可推断演示中的机器人有感受疼痛的能力。]
10.What is Paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A.The significance of teaching robots to feel pain.
B.The principle of robots’ avoidance of injuries.
C.The analysis of the artificial robot nervous system.
D.The value of protecting human workers from injuries.
答案　A　[段落大意题。第二段解释了开发能够感受疼痛的机器人神经系统的重要性。Kuehn指出，“疼痛是一个保护我们的系统，当我们避开疼痛源头时，它帮助我们不受伤。”这说明了教机器人感受疼痛的重要性。]
11.What can we learn from the example given in Paragraph 3
A.The robot is smart enough to carry out different tasks.
B.The robot can hardly work as well as a human operator.
C.The robot can react differently based on degrees of pain.
D.The robot is tolerant of changes in pressure and temperature.
答案　C　[推理判断题。第三段谈到了一个实际的例子：如果手臂感到轻微疼痛，它会缓慢撤回直到疼痛停止，然后返回到它原来的任务。同时，剧烈的痛感会导致手臂进入一种锁定模式，直到它能够得到操作员的帮助。由此可推断，机器人可以根据疼痛的不同程度做出不同反应。]
12.What is the author’s attitude toward Kuehn and Haddadin’s study
A.Dismissive. B.Doubtful.
C.Unclear. D.Optimistic.
答案　D　[观点态度题。在最后一段中，作者指出，只有时间才能告诉我们(答案)，但有一件事是显而易见的，Kuehn和Haddadin的工作可能会导致机器人变得比以往任何时候都更像人类。这表示作者对Kuehn和Haddadin的研究持乐观态度，认为这项工作扩展了机器人的能力，使它们更加接近于人类。]

(2024·南昌高三一模)
One year ago，the Colorado State Fair made the headlines for unknowingly awarding first place to an artwork created with help from artificial intelligence.Now，officials with the 152－year－old fair have revised the contest’s rules：Artists must claim whether they used AI to make their entries，reports The Denver Post’s John Wenzel.
The saga (一长串事件) began last August，when game designer Jason Allen won the top spot in the fair’s digital arts competition.When he shared his victory online，he mentioned that he’d used Midjourney—an AI program that turns text into images—to help create his piece，titled Thé tre D’opéra Spatial.
Allen maintains he was open about using AI from the beginning，though judges say they didn’t know until after the fact.Either way，a claim wasn’t necessary at the time，meaning Allen never broke any rules.
His victory was controversial—and as a result，officials decided to tweak the submission requirements.At last year’s fair，which took place in Pueblo between August 25 and September 4，artists needed to “tell if art or artwork was created by using an Artificial Intelligence Generator，” according to the new requirements.
Allen wasn’t happy about the new requirement，telling The Denver Post that it was essentially a “discriminatory mark” against AI artworks.Despite the change，he decided to submit his work once again to the digital arts category.
The fair’s leaders say they plan to continue adapting as technology advances.As Scott Stoller，the fair’s general manager，tells The Denver Post，the digital arts category itself has only been around for a few decades.In the future，officials may even decide to add a separate AI category，depending on how popular tools like Midjourney become.
“That’s the beauty of art—it’s always evolving，”says Stoller.“Art can be anything，and anything can be made into art.”

(2025·福建适应性考试)
Common water plants could provide a green energy source.Scientists have figured out how to get large amounts of oil from duckweed，one of nature’s fastest－growing water plants.Transferring such plant oil into biodiesel (生物柴油) for transportation and heating could be a big part of a more sustainable future.
For a new study，researchers genetically engineered duckweed plants to produce seven times more oil per acre than soybeans.John Shanklin，a biochemist，says further research could double the engineered duckweed’s oil output in the next few years.
Unlike fossil fuels，which form underground，biofuels can be refreshed faster than they are used.Fuels made from new and used vegetable oils，animal fat and seaweed can have a lower carbon footprint than fossil fuels do，but there has been a recent negative view against them.This is partly because so many crops now go into energy production rather than food; biofuels take up more than 100 million acres of the world’s agricultural land.
Duckweed，common on every continent but Antarctica，is among the world’s most productive plants，and the researchers suggest it could be a game－changing renewable energy source for three key reasons.First，it grows readily in water，so it wouldn’t compete with food crops for agricultural land.Second，duckweed can grow fast in agricultural pollution released into the water.Third，Shanklin and his team found a way to avoid a major biotechnological barrier.For the new study，Shanklin says，the researchers added an oil－producing gene，“turning it on like a light switch” by introducing a particular molecule (分子) only when the plant had finished growing.Shanklin says，“If it replicates (自我复制) in other species—and there’s no reason to think that it would not—this can solve one of our biggest issues，which is how we can make more oil in more plants without negatively affecting growth.”
To expand production to industrial levels，scientists will need to design and produce large－scale bases for growing engineered plants and obtaining oil—a challenge，Shanklin says，because duckweed is a non－mainstream crop without much existing infrastructure (基础设施).

(2025·合肥高三质检一)
A pair of researchers of Leibniz University Hannover has demonstrated the means by which robots might be programmed to experience something similar to pain in animals.As part of their demonstration at last week’s IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation held in Stockholm，Johannes Kuehn and Sami Haddadin showed how pain might be used in robots，by interacting with a BioTac fingertip sensor on the end of a Kuka robotic arm that had been programmed to react differently to differing amounts of pain.
The idea of developing an artificial robot nervous system may seem contrary to all expectations，but Kuehn says doing so is important in the same way that it is good for humans to feel pain.“Pain is a system that protects us，” says Kuehn.“When we avoid the source of pain，it helps us not get hurt.” So when robots can feel and react to pain，they will become smart enough to avoid it.The more dangerous the robot registers the threat to be，the faster it will withdraw and avoid the source of danger.Additionally，Kuehn and Haddadin say humans working alongside robots that feel pain，especially those in heavy machinery，will be protected around them.
They have tested out some of their ideas using a robotic arm with a fingertip sensor that can detect pressure and temperature.It uses a robot－tissue patch (小片) modeled on human skin to decide how much pain should be felt and thus what action to take.For example，if the arm feels light pain，it slowly withdraws until the pain stops，and then returns to its original task.Severe pain，meanwhile，causes the arm to go into a kind of lockdown mode until it can get help from a human operator.
Such robots are likely to raise a host of questions，of course，if they become more common—if a robot acts the same way a human does when touching a hot plate，are we to believe it is truly experiencing pain Only time will tell of course，but one thing that is evident，Kuehn and Haddadin’s work could lead to robots that are more human－like than ever.
