At 58, Tom Cillo is living his dream of playing college football. The shouts of “Yeah, Tom!” began as he stepped onto the field at Girardi Stadium. After taking a few steps to shake off his nerves and playfully cupping his ear toward the crowd, the country’s oldest freshman player took his position on the defensive line. Across from him was Anthony D’Antonio, a freshman center decades younger. They exchanged a respectful handshake before the play began. Moments later, the whistle blew, and Cillo officially became an NCAA Division Ⅲ player, free from the burden of “What if I had tried ”
Cillo’s journey began during a conversation with his longtime friend Dave Bellomo. Having recently left his job with the Williamsport Recreation Department, Cillo shared his regrets about never attending college or playing football. Bellomo encouraged him, asking, “Why don’t you ” With his children grown and his wife supportive, Cillo decided it was time to act. “I wanted regret out of the picture altogether,” he said.
Bellomo designed a rigorous training plan for Cillo. It included full-speed hill runs where Cillo carried a 100-pound rock, along with stretching and recovery treatments. Meanwhile, Cillo applied to Lycoming College, where he intended to major in criminal justice and pay his own tuition. “I’m taking a risk academically, physically, and financially,” he admitted, “but I’m smiling through the stress.”
Cillo’s strength impressed his teammates, but learning the game was challenging. “Some days I’d wake up and say, ‘You’ve got to get around,’ and my body would say, ‘Slow down, brother,’” he recalled. Despite the difficulties, he pushed on through the training camp and earned his spot on the team.
Though playing time is limited, Cillo’s impact extends beyond the field. He offers rides, buys meals, and provides advice, endearing himself to his teammates. “Everyone just loves him,” said Mason Woodward, a fellow defensive lineman.
Cillo hopes his story inspires others. “I know there are people out there holding themselves back,” he said. “If you have a dream, follow through with it.” For Cillo, it’s never too late to pursue a passion.
24．What motivated Tom Cillo to follow his dream of playing college football
A．His wish to impress his wife. B．His friend’s encouragement.
C．His desire to become famous. D．His hope to make more money.
25．What does the underlined word “rigorous” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Relaxing. B．Simple. C．Interesting. D．Strict.
26．Which words can best describe Tom Cillo
A．Regretful and nervous. B．Wealthy and generous.
C．Brave and determined. D．Impatient and careless.
27．What message can we get from Tom Cillo’s story
A．Age is not a roadblock on the path to dreams. B．College football teams welcome older players.
C．Quitting jobs is necessary for realizing dreams. D．Financial risk is unavoidable for studying again.

During the days when her six-year-old son, Luca, was receiving treatment for leukemia—a type of cancer—Meagan Brazil-Sheehan and her son encountered Robin in the hallway of UMass Memorial Children’s Medical Center. “Luca, how are you ” Robin greeted in a childlike voice. “It’s been a while.” Although they had met only once before, Luca’s face lit up when Robin remembered him—a moment his mother described as “so special”.
Robin is an AI-powered robot designed to offer emotional support in children’s hospitals and nursing homes. Standing four feet tall with a screen displaying cartoon-like features, it is programmed to behave like a young girl. Developed by Expper Technologies, Robin now operates in 30 healthcare facilities across the United States, helping address staffing shortages. Karen Khachikyan, the company’s CEO, explained that overworked medical staff often lack time to provide meaningful engagement, a gap Robin helps fill.
While Robin is around 30% autonomous, a remote team of operators controls the rest of its functions under clinical supervision (监督). Each interaction—conducted in accordance with privacy laws—helps gather data that brings the robot closer to full autonomy. Khachikyan described Robin as an emotionally intelligent companion similar to WALL-E.
At HealthBridge Children’s Hospital in California, Robin plays a teenager’s favorite song, wears funny glasses to make a child laugh, or plays simple games. According to staff, patients respond joyfully when Robin recalls their names and preferences. The robot mirrors emotions—laughing when a patient laughs or showing understanding during the patients’ difficult moments. In nursing homes, Robin assists dementia patients with memory games and breathing exercises, offering companionship similar to that of a grandchild with a grandparent.
Robin’s development began when Khachikyan, who experienced loneliness growing up, dreamed of a robot companion. After the robot was tested in different fields, an investor suggested hospitals for young patients—an “aha moment” that led to a successful first project at a children’s hospital in Armenia and later at UCLA．
Looking ahead, Expper Technologies aims to expand Robin’s capabilities, such as measuring patients’ vitals and assisting the elderly with daily tasks like changing clothes. However, Khachikyan emphasized that Robin is meant to support healthcare workers rather than replace them.
28．What can be concluded about Luca
A．He dislikes Robin’s voice. B．He feels happy to hear Robin’s greeting.
C．He forgets Robin completely. D．He fears Robin’s appearance.
29．What does Robin do at HealthBridge Children’s Hospital
A．It organizes medical training. B．It handles the hospital’s financial affairs.
C．It treats children with leukemia. D．It provides emotional interactions.
30．What can we learn about Robin from the text
A．It targeted doctors in hospitals. B．It failed before being tested in Armenia.
C．It came after a patient’s suggestion. D．It was inspired by Khachikyan’s childhood.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．AI Robot Robin Aids Healthcare B．Staff Shortages in Hospitals
C．Luca Fights Against Leukemia D．Robin’s Design by Expper Technologies

An article published in Nature this week says that AI systems pose a further risk: that researchers envision such tools as possessed of superhuman abilities when it comes to objectivity, productivity and understanding complex concepts. Scientists planning to use AI “must evaluate these risks now; while AI applications are still immature, because they will be much more difficult to deal with if AI tools become deeply embedded in the research process”; write co-authors Lisa Messeri and Molly Crockett.
In this article, Messeri and Crockett put together a picture of the ways in which scientists see AIsystems as enhancing human capabilities. In one ‘vision’, which they call AI as Oracle; researchers see AI tools as able to tirelessly read and digest scientific papers, and so survey the scientific literature more exhaustively than people can. In both Oracle and another vision, called AI as Arbiter, systems are perceived as evaluating scientific findings more objectively than do people, because they are less likely to select the literature to support a desired hypothesis or to show favouritism in peer review. In a third vision, AI as Quant, AI tools seem to go beyond the limits of the human mind in analyzing vast and complex data. In the fourth, AI as Surrogate, AI tools simulate (模拟) data that are too difficult or complex to obtain.
Informed by anthropology (人类学) and cognitive science, Messeri and Crockett predict risks that arise from these visions. One is the illusion of explanatory depth, in which people relying on another person—or, in this case, an algorithm—for knowledge have a tendency to mistake that knowledge for their own and think their understanding is deeper than it actually is.
Another risk is that research becomes skewed towards studying the kinds of thing that AI systems can test—the researchers call this the illusion of exploratory breadth (广度). For example, in social science, the vision of AI as Surrogate could encourage experiments involving human behaviors that can be simulated by an AI—and discourage those on behaviors that cannot, such as anything that requires physical presence.
There’s also the illusion of objectivity, in which researchers see AI systems as representing all possible viewpoints or not having a viewpoint. In fact, these tools reflect only the viewpoints found in the data they have been trained on, and are known to adopt the biases found in those data. “There’s a risk that we forget that there are certain questions we just can’t answer about human beings using AItools,” says Crockett. The illusion of objectivity is particularly worrying given the benefits of including diverse viewpoints in research.
If you’ re a scientist planning to use AI, you can reduce these dangers through a number of strategies. One is to map your proposed use to one of the visions, and consider which traps you are most likely to fall into. Another approach is to be deliberate about how you use AI. Applying AI tools to save time on something your team already has expertise in is less risky than using them to provide expertise you just don’t have, says Crockett.
32．According to Paragraph 2, which might scientists agree with
A．Human intelligence can’t be overshadowed in analyzing data.
B．Studies with desired hypothesis are usually favored in peer review.
C．AI can conduct a relatively thorough overview of the prior research.
D．Prejudice has completely been excluded by AI tools in scientific evaluation.
33．What does the underlined word “skewed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Declining. B．Partial. C．Dynamic. D．Irrelevant.
34．What can we learn from this passage
A．AI isn’t limited to the outlook and biases within its training data.
B．Users counting on AI tend to underestimate their insight of a concept.
C．Relying on AI to fill gaps in the team’s knowledge is much preferable.
D．Instant actions must be taken to rate AI’s risks before it is fully integrated into research.
35．Which would be the best title for the passage
A．A Call for Considered Use of AI in Science
B．The Unseen Biases of AI in Social Science
C．AI’s Role in Enhancing Human Expertise
D．How AI Is Shaping Scientific Discovery

Think back to the last time you shopped for fruits and vegetables. You may have noticed some items labelled with the word “organic”. 36
“Organic” refers to the way food is grown. To be labelled as organic, food production must meet strict guidelines. These can be different depending on where you live. In the United States, organic foods must be grown or raised without using pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
37 That changed after the Industrial Revolution. During the 20th century, many ideas that were used by factories and big businesses were put into action on farms. This helped some farms grow larger and produce more.
The organic movement was started to get back to the old traditional ways of farming. Why Many believe the chemicals and pesticides used in modern farming can be harmful to your health. 38 And those who support the organic movement also point to its benefits for the environment.
Have you ever compared organic and non-organic foods at the grocery store If so, you know that organic food tends to cost more. This happens for many reasons. Organic farming produces fewer crops.
39 Additionally, organic farms spend more money taking care of the animals they raise. These and other factors drive the cost of organic food up.
Is organic food worth the extra cost Some people believe it is. They may think it tastes better or just prefer to eat food that has not been grown using chemicals. 40 They are still trying to find a major difference between organic and non-organic food in terms of safety, nutrition, or taste. Still, others argue that the environmental benefits of organic food make it worth the price.
A．Have you ever wondered what that means
B．The cost of production is also usually higher.
C．For most of history, almost all food was organic.
D．Many people are willing to pay more for organic food.
E．Some also think organic foods are naturally more nutritious.
F．Are you wondering if organic food is right for you
G．Scientists have studied organic and non-organic foods for many years now.

Middle school is like a battlefield. Everyone seems to be going through 41 physical changes, emotional mood swings and low self-esteem. For me, 42 was my trouble as I stood a head above the other girls. My grandfather would watch me grow 43 uncomfortable. “Stand straight and tall,” he’d say, as I tried to shrink myself to avoid 44 . And each time, I would sheepishly (难为情地) do as he said. I understand that his advice was about more than just feet and inches.
My grandfather grew up in 45 Europe. When German soldiers 46 his hometown, a beautiful city in Poland, he hated them and eventually resolved to join the army to fight for his country’s freedom. “Stand straight, stand tall” meant something else back then.

Still, he 49 head-on into the hustle and bustle (忙碌喧嚣) of the streets of New York. Soon, he met other European immigrants, each of them trying to find his or her own way. If they could do, why couldn’t he “Stand straight, stand tall,” he would always 50 himself.
Thanks to the help of a loyal and 51 friend, my grandfather acquired a jewelry booth on the street. He was nervous at the beginning. He was trying to learn this 52 new business and a new language as well. Amazingly, with his efforts, within months, my grandfather was commanding his spot behind the counter, selling 53 and all kinds of pearls in no more than one year as if he had been doing it his whole life.
Listening to my grandfather’s remarkable experiences has changed the way I 54 my own life. His advice to me has become much more than a challenge to improve my posture. It tells me to be

Air pollution is no doubt a pressing challenge 56 many major cities face around the world. More than 80% of people living in urban areas 57 (expose) to unsafe air, according to a report
58 (deliver) by the World Health Organization.
“Urban air pollution continues to rise at 59 alarming rate, doing great harm to human health,” said Dr. Maria Neira, the director of Public Health and Environmental Policy at the WHO. “At the same time,
60 (aware) is rising and more cities are monitoring their air quality.”
In the past two years, the number of cities monitoring air pollution 61 (double)—now covering about 3,000 cities in 103 countries. The WHO warned of the serious effects poor air quality could have
62 the health of urban residents, 63 (link) it to the risk of strokes, heart disease, lung cancer and many other diseases.
The report also showed that low-and-middle-income countries generally have 64 (poor) air quality. About 98% of cities with 100,000 or more people in low-and-middle-income countries do not meet WHO air quality guidelines, while 56% in high-income countries fail to meet the standard. The report also urged local governments to take strong and 65 (effect) measures to fight against air pollution.

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。
When Mary entered the south pole penguin (企鹅) Research Lab, she saw her twin brother Tom gently petting a penguin in his arms. As kids of the lab scientists, Mary and Tom often observed the emperor penguins that were studied to understand how they adapted to extreme temperatures, which might aid human survival.
“We’re thirteen years old, Tom. It’s time to grow up and stop playing with the lab penguins, ”said Mary as she started cleaning. “They’re research animals, not pets.” “But the birds listen to me!” insisted Tom, his breath forming a cloud in the freezing air.
Suddenly, an alarm rang out and red lights flashed, signaling a problem. The kids rushed over to look into it. She checked the habitat monitor and found that the temperature had gone down a lot. “The heater must be broken!”
Mary quickly sent a message to their parents’ research team, who were all conducting outdoor studies. “It’s freezing and let’s get out of here!” Mary warned. They ran to the lab’s heavy metal door, only to find the door sealed shut by thick ice. With the adults away and no way to escape, the kids would have to deal with the freezing conditions until help arrived.
Time dragged as Mary and Tom anxiously waited. The increasing cold caused them to shake. “I wonder what emperor penguins do in extreme cold, since they stay in the pole all winter instead of going somewhere warmer,” asked Mary. “They huddle (挤作一团),” Tom answered. “They huddle together tightly so that the birds in the middle will be warm enough.” “What about the ones on the edge ” Mary asked. “They push their way towards the center, and then move back out to the edge, and struggle back again. Scientists in the early 21st century recorded it.” He replied as he stared at the large crowd of the penguins in the lab.
注意：
1．所续写短文的词数应为150词左右；
2．续写部分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
In a flash, Tom had an idea to keep warm.

M: Dear Simon, it was great to see you again on Saturday. I knew we would have a lot to talk about, but even so, I had never expected that we would talk for four hours non-stop. It reminded me of when we first met in Mr. Carrol’s class at Waterfold High. Anyway, I’m sending you this letter because I forgot to mention something on Saturday. My sister Ivy is having a birthday party next month, and she told me to ask if you would like to come. I think you might want to be there because it’ll be held at our local golf club, and I know how much you love golf. It should be a good party. There will be plenty of flowers, food, and a disco if you feel like dancing. We might also have time for a quick game of golf, but if it rains, there is a pool table we could use. Let me know if you are interested in coming to the party. Don’t worry about bringing Ivy an expensive gift. I’m sure she’ll be happy with just a box of chocolates. I hope to see you again soon.

At 58, Tom Cillo is living his dream of playing college football. The shouts of “Yeah, Tom!” began as he stepped onto the field at Girardi Stadium. After taking a few steps to shake off his nerves and playfully cupping his ear toward the crowd, the country’s oldest freshman player took his position on the defensive line. Across from him was Anthony D’Antonio, a freshman center decades younger. They exchanged a respectful handshake before the play began. Moments later, the whistle blew, and Cillo officially became an NCAA Division Ⅲ player, free from the burden of “What if I had tried ”
Cillo’s journey began during a conversation with his longtime friend Dave Bellomo. Having recently left his job with the Williamsport Recreation Department, Cillo shared his regrets about never attending college or playing football. Bellomo encouraged him, asking, “Why don’t you ” With his children grown and his wife supportive, Cillo decided it was time to act. “I wanted regret out of the picture altogether,” he said.
Bellomo designed a rigorous training plan for Cillo. It included full-speed hill runs where Cillo carried a 100-pound rock, along with stretching and recovery treatments. Meanwhile, Cillo applied to Lycoming College, where he intended to major in criminal justice and pay his own tuition. “I’m taking a risk academically, physically, and financially,” he admitted, “but I’m smiling through the stress.”
Cillo’s strength impressed his teammates, but learning the game was challenging. “Some days I’d wake up and say, ‘You’ve got to get around,’ and my body would say, ‘Slow down, brother,’” he recalled. Despite the difficulties, he pushed on through the training camp and earned his spot on the team.
Though playing time is limited, Cillo’s impact extends beyond the field. He offers rides, buys meals, and provides advice, endearing himself to his teammates. “Everyone just loves him,” said Mason Woodward, a fellow defensive lineman.
Cillo hopes his story inspires others. “I know there are people out there holding themselves back,” he said. “If you have a dream, follow through with it.” For Cillo, it’s never too late to pursue a passion.
24．What motivated Tom Cillo to follow his dream of playing college football
A．His wish to impress his wife. B．His friend’s encouragement.
C．His desire to become famous. D．His hope to make more money.

C
During the days when her six-year-old son, Luca, was receiving treatment for leukemia—a type of cancer—Meagan Brazil-Sheehan and her son encountered Robin in the hallway of UMass Memorial Children’s Medical Center. “Luca, how are you ” Robin greeted in a childlike voice. “It’s been a while.” Although they had met only once before, Luca’s face lit up when Robin remembered him—a moment his mother described as “so special”.
Robin is an AI-powered robot designed to offer emotional support in children’s hospitals and nursing homes. Standing four feet tall with a screen displaying cartoon-like features, it is programmed to behave like a young girl. Developed by Expper Technologies, Robin now operates in 30 healthcare facilities across the United States, helping address staffing shortages. Karen Khachikyan, the company’s CEO, explained that overworked medical staff often lack time to provide meaningful engagement, a gap Robin helps fill.
While Robin is around 30% autonomous, a remote team of operators controls the rest of its functions under clinical supervision (监督). Each interaction—conducted in accordance with privacy laws—helps gather data that brings the robot closer to full autonomy. Khachikyan described Robin as an emotionally intelligent companion similar to WALL-E.
At HealthBridge Children’s Hospital in California, Robin plays a teenager’s favorite song, wears funny glasses to make a child laugh, or plays simple games. According to staff, patients respond joyfully when Robin recalls their names and preferences. The robot mirrors emotions—laughing when a patient laughs or showing understanding during the patients’ difficult moments. In nursing homes, Robin assists dementia patients with memory games and breathing exercises, offering companionship similar to that of a grandchild with a grandparent.
Robin’s development began when Khachikyan, who experienced loneliness growing up, dreamed of a robot companion. After the robot was tested in different fields, an investor suggested hospitals for young patients—an “aha moment” that led to a successful first project at a children’s hospital in Armenia and later at UCLA．
Looking ahead, Expper Technologies aims to expand Robin’s capabilities, such as measuring patients’ vitals and assisting the elderly with daily tasks like changing clothes. However, Khachikyan emphasized that Robin is meant to support healthcare workers rather than replace them.
28．What can be concluded about Luca
A．He dislikes Robin’s voice. B．He feels happy to hear Robin’s greeting.
C．He forgets Robin completely. D．He fears Robin’s appearance.
29．What does Robin do at HealthBridge Children’s Hospital
A．It organizes medical training. B．It handles the hospital’s financial affairs.
C．It treats children with leukemia. D．It provides emotional interactions.
30．What can we learn about Robin from the text
A．It targeted doctors in hospitals. B．It failed before being tested in Armenia.
C．It came after a patient’s suggestion. D．It was inspired by Khachikyan’s childhood.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．AI Robot Robin Aids Healthcare B．Staff Shortages in Hospitals
C．Luca Fights Against Leukemia D．Robin’s Design by Expper Technologies
【答案】28．B 29．D 30．D 31．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍Expper Technologies研发的AI机器人Robin，其在医院和养老院提供情感支持、辅助医疗等服务，旨在填补医护人员缺口，而非取代他们。
28．推理判断题。根据第一段中的““Luca, how are you ” Robin greeted in a childlike voice. “It’s been a while.” Although they had met only once before, Luca’s face lit up when Robin remembered him—a moment his mother described as “so special”. (“卢卡，你好吗？”Robin用孩子气的声音打招呼。“有一阵子没见了。”尽管他们以前只见过一次，但当Robin记得他时，卢卡的脸亮了起来——他的母亲称这一刻“非常特别”。)”可知，卢卡听到Robin的问候后面露喜色，说明他对此感到开心。故选B项。
29．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“At HealthBridge Children’s Hospital in California, Robin plays a teenager’s favorite song, wears funny glasses to make a child laugh, or plays simple games. According to staff, patients respond joyfully when Robin recalls their names and preferences. (在加利福尼亚州的健康桥儿童医院，Robin会播放青少年喜欢的歌曲，戴上滑稽的眼镜让孩子笑，或者玩简单的游戏。工作人员表示，当Robin回忆起病人的名字和喜好时，病人会开心地回应。)”可知，Robin在该医院通过播放歌曲、玩游戏、模仿情绪等方式与患者进行情感互动。故选D项。
30．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Robin’s development began when Khachikyan, who experienced loneliness growing up, dreamed of a robot companion.(Robin的研发始于哈奇基扬，他在成长过程中经历了孤独，梦想有一个机器人伙伴。)”可知，Robin的研发灵感来源于哈奇基扬的童年经历。故选D项。
31．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“Robin is an AI-powered robot designed to offer emotional support in children’s hospitals and nursing homes. Standing four feet tall with a screen displaying cartoon-like features, it is programmed to behave like a young girl.

An article published in Nature this week says that AI systems pose a further risk: that researchers envision such tools as possessed of superhuman abilities when it comes to objectivity, productivity and understanding complex concepts. Scientists planning to use AI “must evaluate these risks now; while AI applications are still immature, because they will be much more difficult to deal with if AI tools become deeply embedded in the research process”; write co-authors Lisa Messeri and Molly Crockett.
In this article, Messeri and Crockett put together a picture of the ways in which scientists see AIsystems as enhancing human capabilities. In one ‘vision’, which they call AI as Oracle; researchers see AI tools as able to tirelessly read and digest scientific papers, and so survey the scientific literature more exhaustively than people can. In both Oracle and another vision, called AI as Arbiter, systems are perceived as evaluating scientific findings more objectively than do people, because they are less likely to select the literature to support a desired hypothesis or to show favouritism in peer review. In a third vision, AI as Quant, AI tools seem to go beyond the limits of the human mind in analyzing vast and complex data. In the fourth, AI as Surrogate, AI tools simulate (模拟) data that are too difficult or complex to obtain.
Informed by anthropology (人类学) and cognitive science, Messeri and Crockett predict risks that arise from these visions. One is the illusion of explanatory depth, in which people relying on another person—or, in this case, an algorithm—for knowledge have a tendency to mistake that knowledge for their own and think their understanding is deeper than it actually is.
Another risk is that research becomes skewed towards studying the kinds of thing that AI systems can test—the researchers call this the illusion of exploratory breadth (广度). For example, in social science, the vision of AI as Surrogate could encourage experiments involving human behaviors that can be simulated by an AI—and discourage those on behaviors that cannot, such as anything that requires physical presence.
There’s also the illusion of objectivity, in which researchers see AI systems as representing all possible viewpoints or not having a viewpoint. In fact, these tools reflect only the viewpoints found in the data they have been trained on, and are known to adopt the biases found in those data. “There’s a risk that we forget that there are certain questions we just can’t answer about human beings using AItools,” says Crockett. The illusion of objectivity is particularly worrying given the benefits of including diverse viewpoints in research.
If you’ re a scientist planning to use AI, you can reduce these dangers through a number of strategies. One is to map your proposed use to one of the visions, and consider which traps you are most likely to fall into. Another approach is to be deliberate about how you use AI. Applying AI tools to save time on something your team already has expertise in is less risky than using them to provide expertise you just don’t have, says Crockett.
32．According to Paragraph 2, which might scientists agree with
A．Human intelligence can’t be overshadowed in analyzing data.
B．Studies with desired hypothesis are usually favored in peer review.
C．AI can conduct a relatively thorough overview of the prior research.
D．Prejudice has completely been excluded by AI tools in scientific evaluation.
33．What does the underlined word “skewed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Declining. B．Partial. C．Dynamic. D．Irrelevant.
34．What can we learn from this passage
A．AI isn’t limited to the outlook and biases within its training data.
B．Users counting on AI tend to underestimate their insight of a concept.
C．Relying on AI to fill gaps in the team’s knowledge is much preferable.
D．Instant actions must be taken to rate AI’s risks before it is fully integrated into research.
35．Which would be the best title for the passage
A．A Call for Considered Use of AI in Science
B．The Unseen Biases of AI in Social Science
C．AI’s Role in Enhancing Human Expertise
D．How AI Is Shaping Scientific Discovery
【答案】32．C 33．B 34．D 35．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍科研中人工智能的四种应用愿景、由此产生的多种风险，以及科学家使用人工智能减少风险的相关策略。
32．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In one ‘vision’, which they call AI as Oracle; researchers see AI tools as able to tirelessly read and digest scientific papers, and so survey the scientific literature more exhaustively than people can.(在一种被他们称为“神谕型人工智能”的愿景中，研究人员认为人工智能工具能够不知疲倦地阅读和消化科学论文，从而比人类更全面地查阅科学文献。)”以及“In a third vision, AI as Quant, AI tools seem to go beyond the limits of the human mind in analyzing vast and complex data. In the fourth, AI as Surrogate, AI tools simulate (模拟) data that are too difficult or complex to obtain. (在第三种愿景“量化型人工智能”中，人工智能工具在分析海量复杂数据方面似乎超越了人类思维的极限。在第四种愿景“替代型人工智能”中，人工智能工具会模拟那些难以获取或过于复杂的数据。)”可知，人工智能工具可以更详尽地调查科学文献，分析庞大而复杂的数据，并模拟太难或太复杂而无法获得的数据，由此可推知，科学家可能同意的观点是人工智能能够对先前的研究进行相对全面的概述。故选C项。
33．词句猜测题。根据第四段“Another risk is that research becomes skewed towards studying the kinds of thing that AI systems can test—the researchers call this the illusion of exploratory breadth. For example, in social science, the vision of AI as Surrogate could encourage experiments involving human behaviors that can be simulated by an AI—and discourage those on behaviors that cannot, such as anything that requires physical presence.(另一个风险是，研究将skewed研究人工智能系统能够测试的内容——研究人员称之为探索广度错觉。例如，在社会科学领域，替代型人工智能的愿景可能会鼓励开展那些涉及可被人工智能模拟的人类行为的实验，而不鼓励开展那些涉及无法模拟的行为的实验，比如任何需要实际参与的行为。)”可知，研究只侧重人工智能可测试的内容，而忽略部分内容，“skewed”应是“偏向的、片面的”含义，与“Partial”意思相近。故选B项。
34．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Scientists planning to use AI “must evaluate these risks now; while AI applications are still immature, because they will be much more difficult to deal with if AI tools become deeply embedded in the research process”; write co-authors Lisa Messeri and Molly Crockett. (合著者Lisa Messeri和Molly Crockett写道，计划使用人工智能的科学家“现在必须评估这些风险，而人工智能应用仍处于萌芽阶段，因为如果人工智能工具深深嵌入研究过程中，它们将更难解决”。)”可知，在人工智能完全融入研究之前，必须立即采取行动对其风险进行评估。故选D项。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Scientists planning to use AI “must evaluate these risks now; while AI applications are still immature, because they will be much more difficult to deal with if AI tools become deeply embedded in the research process”; write co-authors Lisa Messeri and Molly Crockett. (合著者Lisa Messeri和Molly Crockett写道，计划使用人工智能的科学家“现在必须评估这些风险，而人工智能应用仍处于萌芽阶段，因为如果人工智能工具深深嵌入研究过程中，它们将更难解决”。)”可知，第一段提出人工智能应用于科研存在风险且需及时评估，中间段落阐述相关风险，结合最后一段中的“If you’re a scientist planning to use AI, you can reduce these dangers through a number of strategies.(如果你是一名打算使用人工智能的科学家，可以通过多种策略来降低这些风险。)”可知，本文主要讨论了人工智能在科学领域的应用可能带来的风险，包括对人工智能能力的过度信任，以及这种信任可能导致的误解和偏斜，呼吁科学家在人工智能工具尚未完全融入研究流程之前，对其潜在风险进行评估，所以“呼吁在科学中经过慎重考虑使用人工智能”适合作为文章标题。故选A项。
第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Think back to the last time you shopped for fruits and vegetables. You may have noticed some items labelled with the word “organic”. 36
“Organic” refers to the way food is grown. To be labelled as organic, food production must meet strict guidelines. These can be different depending on where you live. In the United States, organic foods must be grown or raised without using pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
37 That changed after the Industrial Revolution. During the 20th century, many ideas that were used by factories and big businesses were put into action on farms. This helped some farms grow larger and produce more.
The organic movement was started to get back to the old traditional ways of farming. Why Many believe the chemicals and pesticides used in modern farming can be harmful to your health. 38 And those who support the organic movement also point to its benefits for the environment.
Have you ever compared organic and non-organic foods at the grocery store If so, you know that organic food tends to cost more. This happens for many reasons. Organic farming produces fewer crops.
39 Additionally, organic farms spend more money taking care of the animals they raise. These and other factors drive the cost of organic food up.
Is organic food worth the extra cost Some people believe it is. They may think it tastes better or just prefer to eat food that has not been grown using chemicals. 40 They are still trying to find a major difference between organic and non-organic food in terms of safety, nutrition, or taste. Still, others argue that the environmental benefits of organic food make it worth the price.
A．Have you ever wondered what that means
B．The cost of production is also usually higher.
C．For most of history, almost all food was organic.
D．Many people are willing to pay more for organic food.
E．Some also think organic foods are naturally more nutritious.
F．Are you wondering if organic food is right for you
G．Scientists have studied organic and non-organic foods for many years now.
【答案】36．A 37．C 38．E 39．B 40．G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了关于有机食品的一些相关信息。
36．根据上文“You may have noticed some items labelled with the word “organic”. (你可能注意到一些标有“有机”字样的物品)”及下文““Organic” refers to the way food is grown. (“有机”是指食物的生长方式)”可知，选项以问题的方式提出“有机”是什么意思，承上启下。故A选项“你有没有想过这是什么意思？”切题。故选A项。
37．根据上文“That changed after the Industrial Revolution. (工业革命后，情况发生了变化)”可知，选项说明工业革命前的情况。故C选项“在历史的大部分时间里，几乎所有的食物都是有机的”切题。故选C项。

【答案】范文：
AI in Our Studies: Friend or Enemy
Dear fellow students,
I’m Li Hua, and I’m delighted to share my perspective on the topic “AI in Our Studies: Friend or enemy ”
The prevalence of AI tools like learning assistants and ChatGPT in our daily life is undeniable. They offer instant answers, help organize ideas, and even provide writing templates. However, I view AI as a double-edged sword that demands a cautious approach.
While AI can be a fantastic helper, over-reliance on it may weaken our critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The convenience of ready-made answers could discourage deep, independent thinking, which is fundamental to true learning. Therefore, I believe we should utilize AI as an assistant to enhance efficiency, while always maintaining our active engagement in the learning process. By doing so, we can harness its power without losing the essence of education.
Thank you.

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。
When Mary entered the south pole penguin (企鹅) Research Lab, she saw her twin brother Tom gently petting a penguin in his arms. As kids of the lab scientists, Mary and Tom often observed the emperor penguins that were studied to understand how they adapted to extreme temperatures, which might aid human survival.
“We’re thirteen years old, Tom. It’s time to grow up and stop playing with the lab penguins, ”said Mary as she started cleaning. “They’re research animals, not pets.” “But the birds listen to me!” insisted Tom, his breath forming a cloud in the freezing air.
Suddenly, an alarm rang out and red lights flashed, signaling a problem. The kids rushed over to look into it. She checked the habitat monitor and found that the temperature had gone down a lot. “The heater must be broken!”
Mary quickly sent a message to their parents’ research team, who were all conducting outdoor studies. “It’s freezing and let’s get out of here!” Mary warned. They ran to the lab’s heavy metal door, only to find the door sealed shut by thick ice. With the adults away and no way to escape, the kids would have to deal with the freezing conditions until help arrived.
Time dragged as Mary and Tom anxiously waited. The increasing cold caused them to shake. “I wonder what emperor penguins do in extreme cold, since they stay in the pole all winter instead of going somewhere warmer,” asked Mary. “They huddle (挤作一团),” Tom answered. “They huddle together tightly so that the birds in the middle will be warm enough.” “What about the ones on the edge ” Mary asked. “They push their way towards the center, and then move back out to the edge, and struggle back again. Scientists in the early 21st century recorded it.” He replied as he stared at the large crowd of the penguins in the lab.

【答案】Possible version :
In a flash, Tom had an idea to keep warm. He shouted with joy, “Let’s copy the penguins and join them!” Mary hesitated with concern that the birds wouldn’t accept them. Tom smiled with confidence while approaching the birds which had already crowded together due to the temperature. Slowly and gently, he reached out his hands and stroke them with great affection. Though alarmed at first, the penguins recognized him and allowed him into their huddle. Mary quickly followed his lead. The two kids squeezed their way from the edge of the crowd to the center and returned to the edge with the flow just as the birds did. As warmth spread through their bodies, they grew confident they could survive until rescue came.
About two hours later, their parents rushed into the lab, screaming out the kids’ names. Before Tom and Mary could make any response, their parents were amazed to find the kids tightly surrounded by a huge group of penguins, safe and sound. Their mother check for any signs of frostbite or injury and their father asked in surprise, “You were using the penguins’ way to keep warm ” The two kids exchanged a glance and Tom proudly told their parents that they learned from the penguins. As the room warmed up, the penguins slowly walked away. The parents looked at each other proudly—their children didn’t just wait for help, but found a smart way to survive by working with nature.
