Will machines turn on humanity Will we become slaves for a superior artificial intelligence While such questions may seem to belong to the field of science fiction, the world-ending potential of AI is becoming an increasingly urgent topic—mostly due to the rapid ongoing development of popular technologies like ChatGPT.
The more extreme concerns around AI involve what’s known as the singularity. In his 2010 paper The Singularity: A Philosophical Analysis, the philosopher David Chalmers describes the singularity as follows: “What happens when machines become more intelligent than humans One view is that this event will be followed by an explosion to ever-greater levels of intelligence, as each generation of machines creates more intelligent machines in turn. This intelligence explosion is now known as the ‘singularity’.” The main worry is that, if such a singularity event were to occur, we’d no longer have authority over what happens in society.
While influential figures across AI research express real concern about the singularity, however, American philosopher Daniel Dennett doesn’t buy it. As he puts it, “I am not worried about humanity creating a race of super-intelligent agents, but that does not mean I am not worried. I see other, less dramatic, but much more likely, scenarios in the immediate future that are cause for concern.” He argues that smart technology presents us with more practical threats that have a far higher likelihood of occurring. As Dennett clarifies: “The real danger is not that machines more intelligent than we are will usurp (篡夺) our role as captains of our destinies, but that we will overestimate the comprehension of our latest thinking tools, easily ceding (让渡) authority to them far beyond their competence. ”
Take transport. It’s not just aviation and shipping industries that depend on GPS for safe and efficient navigation: how many individuals now turn to their smartphones instead of using a road map As Dennett summarizes: “Use it or lose it is the rule of thumb cited at this point. . . how concerned should we be that we are dumbing ourselves down by our growing reliance on intelligent machines ”
28．What makes the future of AI become a hot topic
A．Advancement of technologies. B．Popularity of science fiction.
C．Humanity of machines. D．Rise of unemployment.
29．Which of the following can best describe “singularity”
A．It is a fictional design that populates science novels.
B．It is a hypothetical point where machines beat human intelligence.
C．It is a mathematical model that predicts the development of AI.
D．It is a possible situation where intelligence explosion is under control.
30．According to Daniel Dennett, what should we really worry about
A．The probable occurrence of singularity. B．Human's creation of super thinking tools.
C．Machine's dominance over human beings. D．Human's misjudgment of AI's capabilities.
31．What would be the best title for the text
A．Super-intelligence: the future trend of AI. B．Overreliance: the real danger of AI.
C．Singularity: the uncontrollable nature of AI. D．Reliability: the wide application of AI.
D
Humans are so hardwired to fit in with the crowd that they often ignore potential risks.Following trends blindly isn’t a sign of character weakness or mental health trouble. Instead, says psychologist Pamela B．Rutledge, it’s perfectly normal. That is linked with a psychological concept that refers to humans’ core need to belong to a social group and bond with others. It’s considered to be one of humans’ basic needs. Multiple psychological analyses argue that human connections are as important as basics like food and shelter.
Though following a trend on social media isn’t exactly as important as outrunning a tiger, human evolution (进化) has made our brains adapt themselves to social signals. Has social media changed how humans signal their social condition to one another Not exactly, says Rutledge. “Rather, it has certainly allowed certain trends to circulate faster and farther than they would have otherwise. Take fashion: While trends once walked down from fashion runways toward common use over years, social media now allows mini-trends to emerge and die out within weeks.”
People all find that trends elicit a pull, and psychologists have figured out reasons. Blame evolution again, Rutledge suggests. “Our brains are hardwired to notice things that are unusual,” she says. “If it’s not normal and other people are all doing it, we have to check it out.” Thus, we notice attention grabbers, giving trends even more reasons for people to follow them.
No one is free from noticing trends, but one group in particular is more likely to follow trends: Teens and young adults. Older adults tend to feel more secure in their identity, a sense that may protect them from being as sensitive to every passing craze. Indeed, social attention varies by age, with older adults not paying as much attention to how they communicate and are linked with others as their younger counterparts. Individuals may be more: sensitive to social reward — positive input from members of their social circles — during midlife.
32．How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph
A．By providing a solution to a problem.
B．By giving an example from daily life.
C．By stating a fact and then explaining its cause.
D．By making a comparison with a common belief.
33．What role does social media play in the spread of trends according to the passage
A．It makes trends spread more rapidly and widely.
B．It helps people better understand the nature of trends.
C．It weakens the influence of traditional fashion trends.
D．It changes the way humans signal their social condition.
34．What conclusion can be drawn about the relationship between age and following trends
A．Older adults are more sensitive to social attention than teenagers.
B．Young people are less likely to be influenced by short-lived trends.
C．Teenagers’ identity security makes them follow trends more actively.
D．Middle-aged individuals may value social rewards from their circles more.
35．What is Rutledge’s suggestion about
A．The way to resist the temptation of trends.
B．The reason why humans are attracted to trends.
C．The impact of social media on trend-following.
D．The psychological concept related to human behavior.

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。
The use of technology in sports is supposed to be able to provide accurate and instant feedback, with better decision-making and fewer errors than human intervention. 36
The annual tennis tournament, Wimbledon, made the decision this year to replace their line judges. They were switched out for AI that analyses camera footage, which should be faster and more accurate. Nevertheless, the electronic line calling system failed just a week into the 2025 championship. 37 This meant a point had to be replayed, which resulted in Sonay Kartal controversially winning the game. If technology needs humans to operate it in the first place, whose fault is it in situations like these where things go wrong
In football, VAR (video assistant referee) is also regularly used these days. A referee can ask for a VAR check, which means that if they are unsure of a decision, they can double-check their own judgement. However, last football season, VAR made oversights which angered a lot of managers, players and fans. 38 Despite this, before VAR, 82% of the decisions made were considered correct; now that figure is 96%.
39 Professor Gina Neff from Cambridge University says that we have a very strong, in-built sense of fairness. “The machine makes decisions based on the set of rules it’s been programmed to apply,” she said. “Right now, in many areas where AI is touching our lives, we feel like humans understand the context much better than the machine.”
40
A．But is that always the case
B．Patience is needed as the system matures.
C．They said the system was not fit for purpose.
D．Then who should carry the blame when mistakes happen
E．The ball-tracking technology was turned off by a person accidentally.
F．So, why do we still not trust technology if it often improves a situation
G．Whether you trust it or not, technology is here to stay, including in sports.

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’m going to Boston!” I screamed to my running friends after finishing the Mount Lemmon Marathon. Running in the Boston Marathon is on many runners’ bucket list, but you must qualify. I had trained hard in 2020, but Covid canceled the race — and again in 2021. In the fall of 2021, a friend asked, “Did you run in Boston ” “No, it was canceled,” I said. “Actually, they just held it.” “They don’t run it in the fall. No!” I was discouraged. I had missed my chance, but in 2022, the marathon returned to April, inviting qualifiers in 2019 — and I was going! Excited, I immediately continued my preparations.
Race weekend arrived. I felt a mix of anticipation and loneliness — no one had come to support me. The bad weather ruined some sightseeing plans and made me feel emptier. Finally, race day came, and I joined the massive sea of 30,000 runners. I should have been thrilled, but I focused only on how lonely I was. I ran fast at the start, giving it everything I had. For the first few miles, I kept a strong pace, but soon my speed slowed, and more runners passed me. Two years of training had led to this moment — why wasn’t I performing at my best
“This is terrible,” I said to myself. “Why do I do this to myself This isn’t fun. This is my last marathon.” Negative thoughts weighed on me with every step. I had spent thousands of dollars to get to Boston, yet I wasn’t enjoying it. The loneliness and slow pace seemed unbearable, and I wondered if it had all been for nothing.
Then, I noticed the crowd — over 500,000 spectators (观众) lined the course, cheering and celebrating. I made eye contact with one man and raised my arm. “Yeah!” I shouted. I did it again at the next group, and joy flooded through me. Social interaction, something I usually loved, transformed my run. I realized I had been running all wrong. I began engaging with the crowd, giving high-fives, taking snacks, and laughing at their energy. Their excitement became mine.
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。
I moved closer to the barriers, connecting with as many people as I could.

第一节：
Last Friday, our school held a special event for World Heritage Day in the school auditorium, where students and teachers gathered to honor the diverse cultural heritage of our world.
The event featured a variety of activities, including speeches highlighting the significance of preserving cultural heritage, performances showcasing different cultures, and photo exhibitions displaying famous world heritage sites. There were also interactive games and quizzes designed to enhance students’ knowledge of different heritage sites.
The event successfully raised awareness about the importance of preserving world heritage. It was a valuable and enlightening experience for all the students.
第二节：
I moved closer to the barriers, connecting with as many people as I could. Every hand I touched sent another wave of happiness through me. I laughed and cheered with the spectators, feeling their energy push me forward. I took the snacks and drinks they offered, enjoying the small acts of kindness along the way. Each mile became easier as I focused on the people around me rather than my pace. The race no longer felt like a challenge — it became a shared celebration, and I felt completely alive.
That day, I learned a valuable lesson. When trapped in disappointment and self-doubt, I lost potential and joy. Only when I shifted my attention to the positive moments and the support of strangers did everything change. Running became more than a personal challenge — it was a connection with others, full of energy and excitement. I laughed, cheered, and moved freely with the crowd, realizing that joy could transform even the hardest experience. I felt truly free and knew this memory would stay with me forever.
