A
After waking up，you may feel frustrated(沮丧的) that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night.Artificial intelligence (AI) may be able to help.
Previously，there have been AI models that can turn text into images.They can do this by learning from a large amount of data from both tests and images.This time，researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to re-create images based on people’s brain scans(扫描)，reported Science Magazine.
The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota，US，which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10,000 photos.The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI功能性磁共振成像)．
The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data—when a part of the brain is activated，more blood will flow to it.It then matched the brain activities with the photos.Through this method，AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos.
Finally，the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear，airplane，clock and train.If the person looked at an airplane，for example，the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry airplane.Then，it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and make the image clearer by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”．The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy，according to the researchers.
The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher(解码) the brain”，Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University，US，told Science Magazine.In the future，scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive(理解) reality.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能通过脑部扫描图像重现人类的想法，并介绍了其潜在的应用前景。
1．What do we know about Stable Diffusion
A．It can help train people’s minds.
B．It can fully present people’s dreams.
C．It was created to draw people’s brains.
D．It can produce pictures from people’s thoughts.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据第二段末句可知，Stable Diffusion是根据人的脑电波扫描来重新创建图像的人工智能系统。由此可推知，它可以从人们的思维中生成画面。故选D。
2．How did the AI system learn about human brain activity
A．By recording brain scans from participants.
B．By analyzing descriptions of human thoughts.
C．By studying patterns of blood flow in the brain.
D．By examining 10,000 photos about human brains.
答案　C
解析　细节理解题。根据第四段首句可知，该人工智能系统通过分析fMRI数据中血液流动的变化来得知大脑活动。故选C。
3．What does the underlined word “blurry” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Unclear. B．Striking.
C．Factual. D．Unusual.
答案　A
解析　词义猜测题。根据第五段的最后两句可知，该人工智能可以启用之前的“文本转图像”模型，并通过输入关键词“飞机”来使图像变得更清晰，所以说明该人工智能一开始会使用大脑扫描的数据来创建非常模糊的一架飞机的图像。故画线单词意为“模糊的，不清楚的”。故选A。
4．What is the potential use of this technology according to scientists
A．To help understand our dreams.
B．To improve text-to-image models.
C．To create more accurate brain scans.
D．To learn how animals view the world.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段末句可知，科学家希望这一技术能够用于记录思想和梦境，或理解动物对现实的感知方式。由此可推知，其潜在用途是了解动物是如何看待世界的。故选D。
B (此篇精读)
Nick Clegg，one of the most powerful executives，has compared the hype(炒作) over artificial intelligence to the 1980s-era “moral panic(恐慌)” over video games，which gives a warning to international politicians and regulators when they gather for a two-day conference at Bletchley Park on AI safety.
“New technologies always lead to hype，” Clegg stated，“they often lead to excessive(过度的) passion among the advocates and excessive pessimism(悲观) among the critics.I remember the 80s.There was this moral panic about video games.There were moral panics about radio，the bicycle，and the Internet.”
Much of the conversation this week will focus on longer-term risks，including the potential for an AI system to escape human control，with many experts warning that a sufficiently advanced system could even pose a threat to humanity itself.
“The risks posed by frontier AI are serious and it is critical that we work together to recognise these risks，” Michelle Donelan，the UK’s science and technology secretary，said before the conference.“This conference provides an opportunity for us to ensure we have the right people gathered around the table to discuss how we can mitigate these risks moving forward.Only then will we be able to truly harvest the benefits of this innovative technology in a responsible manner.”
Officials say one of the main aims of the conference is to persuade those at the cutting edge of developing AI technology to slow down their efforts to build the most advanced models.
But Clegg’s comments suggest that is likely to be a hard challenge.He said too much government involvement may stand in the way of AI innovation.“In this area，it is really important to allow innovators，builders to develop these technologies without immediately assuming that whatever they do next is going to pose some existential risk.”
语篇解读　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了目前人们对人工智能的炒作感到恐慌的现状。国际政界人士和监管机构聚集在布莱切利园 Bletchley Park 参加为期两天的人工智能安全会议，一起讨论如何减轻未来的这些风险。
5．Why does Clegg mention the moral panic in 1980s
A．To suggest unnecessary worry about AI.
B．To sound an alarm against AI.
C．To introduce AI safety concept.
D．To offer a solution to politicians.
答案　A
解析　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Nick Clegg，one of the most powerful executives，has compared the hype(炒作) over artificial intelligence to the 1980s-era ‘moral panic(恐慌)’ over video games”和第二段可知，克莱格提到20世纪80年代的道德恐慌是为了表明当前人们对人工智能抱有不必要的担忧。故选A。
6．What do Clegg’s statements imply in paragraph 2
A．People prefer to go to extremes.
B．People will be trapped in AI longer-term risks.
C．People should treat AI development reasonably.
D．People still fear the moral panic caused in the 1980s.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“New technologies always lead to hype...they often lead to excessive(过度的) passion among the advocates and excessive pessimism(悲观) among the critics.”可知，克莱格的话表明人们应该理性对待人工智能的发展。故选C。
7．What does the underlined word “mitigate” mean in paragraph 4
A．Reduce. B．Evaluate.
C．Identify. D．Bear.
答案　A
解析　词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“The risks posed by frontier AI are serious...This conference provides an opportunity...to discuss how we can mitigate these risks moving forward.Only then will we be able to truly harvest the benefits of this innovative technology in a responsible manner.”可知，会议上大家一起讨论如何减轻人工智能带来的风险。所以mitigate意为“减轻”，和reduce同义，故选A。
8．What is Clegg’s attitude towards AI development
A．Disapproval. B．Supportive.
C．Concerned. D．Objective.
答案　B
解析　观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“In this area，it is really important to allow innovators，builders to develop these technologies without immediately assuming that whatever they do next is going to pose some existential risk.”可知，克莱格对发展人工智能的态度是支持的。故选B。
[词汇积累] 1．panic n．惊恐；恐慌 2．pose熟义：n.故作姿态；(为画像、拍照等摆的)姿势　生义(文义)：vt.造成(威胁、问题等) [句式分析] The risks posed by frontier AI are serious and it is critical that we work together to recognise these risks. 分析：此句为and连接的并列复合句。and前的分句中，posed by frontier AI为过去分词短语作后置定语；and后的分句中，it作形式主语，真正的主语为that we work together to recognise these risks。 翻译：前沿人工智能带来的风险是严重的，我们必须共同努力来认识到这些风险，这是至关重要的。

3D-Printed Violins
While professional violinists often have instruments that cost between $2,000 and $10,000，it is possible to have one that costs millions depending on how they were and who made them. 1 This can make it hard for many to access the instrument，especially for beginners and music classrooms.
However，the good news for them is that they will meet with low-cost and durable(耐用的) 3D-printed violins thanks to The Acoustical Society of America’s AVIVA Young Artists Program.The team’s inspiration roots in multiple places.Their goals were to explore the new world of sounds created by using new materials，to use the new technology of other fields，and to make music education accessible through the printing of more durable instruments. 2 The method of distribution has yet to be decided—it could involve shipping fully printed violins，sharing the 3D-printing files with makers，or a combination of both.
3 The neck and fingerboard are printed in smooth ABS plastic to provide a comfortable grasp for the musicians，while the violin’s body is made of a plastic polymer substance，much like a typical acoustic(原声的) violin.The outcome is a violin that sounds darker and softer than traditionally built violins. 4
“The next step is to lower the costs of production for making such instruments more widely available，especially in the field of education，” said Mary-Elizabeth Brown，director of the AVIVA Young Artists Program.Violins are not the only instruments that are produced through 3D-printing technology. 5 Effective results have been obtained from many of them.
A．The violin was built in two pieces using 3D printing.
B．Many instruments have been produced with a 3D printer before.
C．Indeed，even basic violins for students often cost $1,000 or more.
D．Most students have to give up learning the instrument due to the high cost.
E．Besides，the AVIVA violin is less damaged than its traditional wooden cousins.
F．3D-printed violins have been popular with beginners since they were invented.
G．The project is also to get violins to children that couldn’t otherwise afford them.
1．答案　C
解析　上文“While professional violinists often have instruments that cost between $2,000 and $10,000，it is possible to have one...”讲述了小提琴的价格非常昂贵，下文“This can make it hard for many to access the instrument，especially for beginners and music classrooms.”讲述了前面所述情况让许多人难以接触到小提琴。由此可知，空处应承上启下，讲述小提琴的昂贵，C项“事实上，即使是学生们用的基础款小提琴也要花费1 000美元甚至更多”符合题意。故选C。
2．答案　G
解析　上文“Their goals were to explore the new world of sounds...”讲述了该项目的目标，空处应承接上文，G项“该项目还旨在为那些买不起小提琴的孩子们提供小提琴”符合题意，讲述了该项目的另一个目标。故选G。
3．答案　A
解析　下文“The neck and fingerboard are printed in smooth ABS plastic to...while the violin’s body is made of a plastic polymer substance，much like a typical acoustic(原声的) violin.”讲述了琴颈和指板、琴身分别使用的材料，A项“这把小提琴是由3D打印出的两部分构成的”引出下文，选项中的“two pieces”对应下文中的“The neck and fingerboard”和“the violin’s body”。故选A。
4．答案　E
解析　上文“The outcome is a violin that sounds darker and softer than traditionally built violins.”讲述了3D打印出来的小提琴与常规小提琴之间的区别，此处应承接上文，讲述二者的其他差别，E项“此外，AVIVA小提琴比传统的木制小提琴更不易损坏”符合题意。故选E。
5．答案　B
解析　上文“Violins are not the only instruments that are produced through 3D-printing technology.”提到用3D打印技术生产的乐器并不止小提琴，空处应承接上文，讲述有其他乐器被打印，B项“之前有许多乐器都被用3D打印机生产过”符合题意。故选B。

语篇解读　本文是一篇新闻报道。暑假期间，一波穿着时髦的年轻人来到河南省开封市，通过“城市漫步”来探索这座曾经的“八朝古都”。
1．答案　dressed
解析　考查形容词。空格处用形容词作表语，形容词dressed意为“打扮好的”。故填dressed。
2．答案　which/that
解析　考查定语从句。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词是city，因此空格处应用关系代词which/that。故填which/that。
3．答案　eagerly
解析　考查副词。空格处用副词修饰动词shared，副词eagerly意为“急切地”。故填eagerly。
4．答案　of
解析　考查介词。the act of意为“……的行为”，故填of。
5．答案　streets
解析　考查名词的复数。street是可数名词，在此处指“不止一条街道”，因此空格处用复数，故填streets。
6．答案　a
解析　考查冠词。trend是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，popular的发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。
7．答案　offering
解析　考查非谓语动词。句中谓语是has emerged，空格处用非谓语动词，a convenient form of travel和offer之间是逻辑上的主动关系，因此空格处用现在分词形式，故填offering。
8．答案　to take
解析　考查非谓语动词。encourage sb to do sth是固定短语，意为“鼓励某人做某事”。故填to take。
9．答案　lies
解析　考查动词时态和主谓一致。句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语The heart of Kaifeng’s cultural tourism是单数，因此空格处用第三人称单数，故填lies。
10．答案　will be walking/will walk
解析　考查动词时态。根据句意和in the near future以及every day可知，此处应为“在不久的将来，更多的人每天将漫步在城市的街道上”，因此空格处可以用will be walking，表将来正在进行的动作；也可以用will walk，表将来的一般情况下发生的动作。故填will be walking/will walk。(共73张PPT)

After waking up，you may feel frustrated(沮丧的) that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night.Artificial intelligence (AI) may be able to help.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能通过脑部扫描图像重现人类的想法，并介绍了其潜在的应用前景。
Ⅳ.主题语篇阅读
Previously，there have been AI models that can turn text into images.They can do this by learning from a large amount of data from both tests and images.This time，researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to re-create images based on people’s brain scans(扫描)，reported Science Magazine.
The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota，US，which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10,000 photos.The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI功能性磁共振成像).
The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data—when a part of the brain is activated，more blood will flow to it.It then matched the brain activities with the photos.Through this method，AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos.
Finally，the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear，airplane，
clock and train.If the person looked at an airplane，for example，the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry airplane.Then，it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and make the image clearer by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”.The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy，according to the researchers.
The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher(解码) the brain”，Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University，US，told Science Magazine.In the future，scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive(理解) reality.
1.What do we know about Stable Diffusion
A.It can help train people’s minds.
B.It can fully present people’s dreams.
C.It was created to draw people’s brains.
D.It can produce pictures from people’s thoughts.
√
推理判断题。根据第二段末句可知，Stable Diffusion是根据人的脑电波扫描来重新创建图像的人工智能系统。由此可推知，它可以从人们的思维中生成画面。故选D。
解析
2.How did the AI system learn about human brain activity
A.By recording brain scans from participants.
B.By analyzing descriptions of human thoughts.
C.By studying patterns of blood flow in the brain.
D.By examining 10,000 photos about human brains.
√
细节理解题。根据第四段首句可知，该人工智能系统通过分析fMRI数据中血液流动的变化来得知大脑活动。故选C。
解析
3.What does the underlined word “blurry” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A.Unclear. B.Striking.
C.Factual. D.Unusual.
词义猜测题。根据第五段的最后两句可知，该人工智能可以启用之前的“文本转图像”模型，并通过输入关键词“飞机”来使图像变得更清晰，所以说明该人工智能一开始会使用大脑扫描的数据来创建非常模糊的一架飞机的图像。故画线单词意为“模糊的，不清楚的”。故选A。
解析
√
4.What is the potential use of this technology according to scientists
A.To help understand our dreams.
B.To improve text-to-image models.
C.To create more accurate brain scans.
D.To learn how animals view the world.
推理判断题。根据最后一段末句可知，科学家希望这一技术能够用于记录思想和梦境，或理解动物对现实的感知方式。由此可推知，其潜在用途是了解动物是如何看待世界的。故选D。
解析
√

Nick Clegg，one of the most powerful executives，has compared the hype(炒作) over artificial intelligence to the 1980s-era “moral panic(恐慌)” over video games，which gives a warning to international politicians and regulators when they gather for a two-day conference at Bletchley Park on AI safety.
语篇解读　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了目前人们对人工智能的炒作感到恐慌的现状。国际政界人士和监管机构聚集在布莱切利园(Bletchley Park)参加为期两天的人工智能安全会议，一起讨论如何减轻未来的这些风险。
“New technologies always lead to hype，” Clegg stated，“they often lead to excessive(过度的) passion among the advocates and excessive pessimism(悲观) among the critics.I remember the 80s.There was this moral panic about video games.There were moral panics about radio，the bicycle，and the Internet.”
Much of the conversation this week will focus on longer-term risks，including the potential for an AI system to escape human control，with many experts warning that a sufficiently advanced system could even pose a threat to humanity itself.
“The risks posed by frontier AI are serious and it is critical that we work together to recognise these risks，” Michelle Donelan，the UK’s science and technology secretary，said before the conference.“This conference provides an opportunity for us to ensure we have the right people gathered around the table to discuss how we can mitigate these risks moving forward.Only then will we be able to truly harvest the benefits of this innovative technology in a responsible manner.”
Officials say one of the main aims of the conference is to persuade those at the cutting edge of developing AI technology to slow down their efforts to build the most advanced models.
But Clegg’s comments suggest that is likely to be a hard challenge.He said too much government involvement may stand in the way of AI innovation.“In this area，it is really important to allow innovators，builders to develop these technologies without immediately assuming that whatever they do next is going to pose some existential risk.”
5.Why does Clegg mention the moral panic in 1980s
A.To suggest unnecessary worry about AI.
B.To sound an alarm against AI.
C.To introduce AI safety concept.
D.To offer a solution to politicians.
√
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Nick Clegg，one of the most powerful executives，has compared the hype(炒作) over artificial intelligence to the 1980s-era ‘moral panic(恐慌)’ over video games”和第二段可知，克莱格提到20世纪80年代的道德恐慌是为了表明当前人们对人工智能抱有不必要的担忧。故选A。
解析
6.What do Clegg’s statements imply in paragraph 2
A.People prefer to go to extremes.
B.People will be trapped in AI longer-term risks.
C.People should treat AI development reasonably.
D.People still fear the moral panic caused in the 1980s.
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“New technologies always lead to hype...they often lead to excessive(过度的) passion among the advocates and excessive pessimism(悲观) among the critics.”可知，克莱格的话表明人们应该理性对待人工智能的发展。故选C。
解析
√
7.What does the underlined word “mitigate” mean in paragraph 4
A.Reduce. B.Evaluate.
C.Identify. D.Bear.
词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“The risks posed by frontier AI are serious...This conference provides an opportunity...to discuss how we can mitigate these risks moving forward.Only then will we be able to truly harvest the benefits of this innovative technology in a responsible manner.”可知，会议上大家一起讨论如何减轻人工智能带来的风险。所以mitigate意为“减轻”，和reduce同义，故选A。
解析
√
8.What is Clegg’s attitude towards AI development
A.Disapproval. B.Supportive.
C.Concerned. D.Objective.
√
观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“In this area，it is really important to allow innovators，builders to develop these technologies without immediately assuming that whatever they do next is going to pose some existential risk.”可知，克莱格对发展人工智能的态度是支持的。故选B。
解析
1.panic n.惊恐；恐慌
2.pose熟义：n.故作姿态；(为画像、拍照等摆的)姿势　生义(文义)：
vt.造成(威胁、问题等)
词汇积累
The risks posed by frontier AI are serious and it is critical that we work together to recognise these risks.
分析：此句为and连接的并列复合句。and前的分句中，posed by frontier AI为过去分词短语作后置定语；and后的分句中，it作形式主语，真正的主语为that we work together to recognise these risks。
翻译：前沿人工智能带来的风险是严重的，我们必须共同努力来认识到这些风险，这是至关重要的。

语篇解读　本文是一篇新闻报道。暑假期间，一波穿着时髦的年轻人来到河南省开封市，通过“城市漫步”来探索这座曾经的“八朝古都”。
dressed
Ⅵ.语法填空
which/that
eagerly
1.考查形容词。空格处用形容词作表语，形容词dressed意为“打扮好的”。故填dressed。
2.考查定语从句。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词是city，因此空格处应用关系代词which/that。故填which/that。
3.考查副词。空格处用副词修饰动词shared，副词eagerly意为“急切地”。故填eagerly。
解析
“Citywalk” means the act 4.___ walking freely along city 5._______(street) free of large and heavy bags.Such a convenient form of travel has emerged as 6.___ popular trend among young people in China,
of
4.考查介词。the act of意为“……的行为”，故填of。
5.考查名词的复数。street是可数名词，在此处指“不止一条街道”，因此空格处用复数，故填streets。
6.考查冠词。trend是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，6popular的发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。
解析
streets
a
7. (offer) them an avenue to experience urban culture and local traditions.
offering
考查非谓语动词。句中谓语是has emerged，空格处用非谓语动词，a convenient form of travel和offer之间是逻辑上的主动关系，因此空格处用现在分词形式，故填offering。
解析
“Kaifeng is one of China’s first national historical and cultural cities，boasting a deep-seated cultural heritage.It’s an ideal destination for unhurried exploration，encouraging visitors 8._________(take) a leisurely pace as they step into Kaifeng’s embrace.The heart of Kaifeng’s cultural tourism 9._____(lie) in the profound culture of the Song Dynasty.
lies
to take
8.考查非谓语动词。encourage sb to do sth是固定短语，意为“鼓励某人做某事”。故填to take。
9.考查动词时态和主谓一致。句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语The heart of Kaifeng’s cultural tourism是单数，因此空格处用第三人称单数，故填lies。
解析
Through cultural tourism products with different themes，including architecture，cuisine and opera，we aim to help visitors gain a deeper appreciation of Kaifeng’s history and heritage.I firmly believe that in the near future more people 10. (walk) in cities like Kaifeng every day to appreciate their history and culture，” said Wei，head of the city’s cultural，radio，film and tourism bureau.
will be walking/will walk
考查动词时态。根据句意和in the near future以及every day可知，此处应为“在不久的将来，更多的人每天将漫步在城市的街道上”，因此空格处可以用will be walking，表将来正在进行的动作；也可以用will walk，表将来的一般情况下发生的动作。故填will be walking/will walk。
解析
