As box office success brought renewed interest this week, here’s what our Pop Culture crew advise you to check out this weekend.
Earth Mama
It’s a small, quiet film directed by Savanah Leaf, a former Olympian turned filmmaker. It stars Tia Nomore as Gia, a young single woman trying to regain guarding of her two children. Tia is fantastic in her first acing role. This movie also features the great Erika, who plays a small as Gia’s friend. It’s a thoughtful film on what makes life hard for single black women.
Flyana Boss
The movie is about two young women—Folayan and Bobbi. They met in music school and started filming lyric videos for the song “You Wish”. It’s turned into a whole thing where they’re having their fans tell them where to go filming next- so they’ve run at the Hollywood Walk of Fame，Disneyland, a grocery store, a gym, and a McDonald’s.
Mystery Menu
It’s a Cooking YouTube series done by Sohla and her husband Ham, both chefs and well- matched experts. They are brought a common grocery bag containing a secret ingredient and they have one hour to make dinner and dessert. What you see between the two of them is this great creativity.
The Alarmist
Each part of The Alarmist podcast (播客) looks at a historical event, a pop culture moment, and asks the question: Who is to blame for this Also on The Alarmist they present a number of theories, a lot of them totally absurd, and then they laugh about them as they come up with a judgment.
1. Which can help you know the hard life of single Black mothers
A. Mystery Menu. B. The Alarmist.
C. Flyana Boss. D. Earth Mama.
2. Who can create wonderful food out of a common grocery bag

During the 20th century, an estimated 3 million great whales were hunted to provide humans with oil, meat and rose fertiliser. Roger Payne, a biologist and environmentalist, spurred (推动) a worldwide environmental conservation movement with his discovery that whales could sing.
This discovery was made in 1967 during his research trip to Bermuda (百慕大) when a navy engineer provided him with a recording of curious underwater sounds documented. Payne identified the tones as songs whales sing to one another and he was conscious from the start that whale song was to get the public interested in protecting an animal previously considered little more than a resource, curiosity or nuisance.
Payne saw the discovery of whale song as a chance to spur interest in saving the giant animals, who were disappearing from the planet. In 1970, Payne released the album Songs of the Humpback Whale. The record, a surprise hit, fueled a global movement to end the practice of commercial whale hunting and save the whales from extinction. It remains the bestselling environmental album in history.
The impact of the whale song discovery on the early environmental movement was immense. Many antiwar protesters of the day took on saving animals and the environment as a new cause. The humpback whale became the icon of a new environmental awareness. And the whales entered pop culture, no longer the fearsome beasts. In 1977, the whale calls were loaded on to the Voyager probes and sent into outer space.
Payne, graduating from Harvard University and Cornell University with a doctor’s degree, authored or co authored dozens of scientific papers, gave hundreds of lectures, made countless television programmes and films, and led 100 oceanic expeditions. Payne had started an ambitious new project: CETI, a combination of scientists using new technology to interpret what whales might be “saying”.
4. What caused the decline of the whale population in the 20th century
A. Habitat loss. B. The climate change.
C. Uncontrolled hunting. D. The ocean pollution.
5 What was the purpose of releasing the album of whale songs
A. To boost interest in protecting whales. B. To satisfy people’s curiosity about sea.
C. To achieve great commercial success. D. To earn a reputation as a researcher.
6. Which of the following can best describe Roger Payne
A. Considerate. B. Accomplished.
C. Courageous. D. Patient.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. The conservation of ocean environment.
B. Efforts to awake public ocean awareness.
C. A high-tech way to document whale tones.
D. A whale protection campaign by a biologist.
C
A Harvard 2020 paper found a 8％ increase in the number of call handled per hour by employees of an online business that had shifted from offices to homes. Far less noticed was a revised version of the paper, published in May, 2023. The boost to efficiency had become a 4% decline.
With more precise data, the researchers hadn’t made a mistake. Not only did employees answer fewer calls when remote, the quality of their interactions suffered. Customers waited longer. More also phoned back, an indication of unsolved problems.
Other studies have reached similar conclusions. Those working at home were less productive than their peers in the office. The reasons for the findings won’t surprise anyone who has spent much of the past few years working from a dining-room table. It’s harder for people to concentrate at home. Another cost may rise overtime: the underdevelopment of human cooperation. They also documented a relative decline in learning for workers at home. Those in offices picked up skills more quickly.
There’s more to work and life than productivity. Perhaps the greatest virtue of remote work is that it leads to happier employees. People spend less time commuting, which might feel like an increase in productivity, even if conventional measures fail to detect it. They can more easily fit in school pickups and doctor appointments, not to mention the occasional lie-in or mid-morning jog. And some tasks can often be done more smoothly from home than in open offices.
All this explains why so many workers have kept off offices. Indeed, several surveys have found employees are willing to accept pay cuts for the option of working from home. Having satisfied employees on slightly lower pay, in turn, might be a good deal for corporate managers. For many people, the future of work will remain mixed. Nevertheless, bosses want to keep the balance of work week and prefer office away from home, not because they fear rush hour traffic, but because better productivity lies in that direction.
8. What did the revised paper find out about working at home
A. It boosted the cooperation of employees.
B. It made the employees far less noticed.
C. It improved employees’ sense of duty.
D. It weakened employees’ work efficiency.
9. What accounts for the lack of productivity with working at home
A There are many distractions at home.
B. There’s a lack of cooperation at home.
C. People have no chance to learn new skills.
D. People are tired of the long working time.
10. Why do employers prefer office work
A. It keeps the boundary between work and life.
B. It builds employees’ satisfaction with the pay.
C. It helps to improve workplace productivity.
D. It encourages employees to work for pay rise.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A Working From Home Provides Flexibility
B. Working From Home Hurts Productivity
C. Being Shy From Workplace Hurts People
D. The Time of Working at Home Is Over
D
The steam engine, electric lighting, refrigeration. If you’re wondering what these things have in common, they’re examples of transformative technologies that lifted worker productivity. Does generative AI belong on that list
Hardly a day passes without some news of the great things that so-called large language models (LLMs) can do — from writing academic papers to designing buildings — along with projections on how many jobs will be wiped out as companies figure out ways to apply the new technology. But economists are divided on whether the likes of OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Bard have the potential to jump-start productivity growth worldwide.
Researchers in a consulting firm project AI will deliver $4.4 trillion in economic benefits annually to the global economy, equal to 4.4% of global output in 2022 Harvard professor Neeley likens the birth of generative AI to the arrival of the Internet. “It is exactly that moment we are facing again — that vital moment that forever changes how we work, how we interact with one another, how we think, how we produce. We are at that moment again.”
There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical, though. Robert Gordon, a professor at Northwestern University and author of The Rise and Fall of American Growth, argues that the Internet and AI haven’t been as revolutionary as what economists call general-purpose technologies, such as electricity.
Worries about AI replacing workers have been at the center of a labor dispute in Hollywood writers and actors. A survey by Microsoft found that 49% of the people say they’re worried AI will replace their jobs.
On the flip side, blue collar workers could benefit. “It won’t change blue-collar work, but it will change who can get out of blue collar work and get into better jobs,” an economic historian at Cornell University says. “We are living through one of those turning points in human history.”
12. Why does the author mention OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard
A. To introduce a debate. B. To define a concept.
C. To make a prediction. D. To explain a technology.
13. What does the underlined word “likens” mean in paragraph 3
A. Contributes. B. Attaches. C. Compares. D. Changes.
14. What can we know about Robert Gordon
A. He is in favor of AI. B. He acts as an electricity professor.
C. He is an economist and author. D. He suspects AI’s revolutionary role.
15. What does the economic historian think about blue collar work in the AI-era
A. Doubtful. B. Promising. C. Fascinating. D. Worrying.

Painting had always fascinated Bazan since she was born. At the age of two, she held her first art exhibition on the family refrigerator. “Your artworks are really unique! So, I assume you’re as good as Leonardo da Vinci or anybody else,” said her mother, who had always been highly encouraging with Bazan’s art. Then, Bazan signed up for an art class and quickly discovered her natural talent, “To me, a canvas( 画布) is a door to another world where I have full creative control,” Bazan used to say to her mother.
The year she turned five, however, she was diagnosed with mental anxiety. She struggled with focusing, paying attention, or siting sill. Her mother sill supported her in learning art, though. Even with family support, finding the feeling in control had often been a horrific challenge for her.
Bazan attended the University of Kentucky in 2010, whose major was art education, but didn’t connect with the prospect of teaching. It made her unhappy. “I just wasn’t drawn to it as much,” she said. Confusion about her uncertain future, coupled with her increasingly severe illness, made her eventually drop out of college.
Life went on for a decade. Bazan had a son and moved to Sheboygan, far away from her parents. She worked in a local grocery. Every day after work, she rushed home to care for her son. Life was difficult. Soon after, she divorced with her husband because of her bad condition.
As her son grew up, Bazan became restless, and reconsidered the meaning of life. She felt she couldn’t give up on the calling of her art. “I love art,” she said. It occurred to her that she could learn different techniques- from sewing and textiles to printmaking or painting. She would discover a new path in her professional development, instead of being a salesclerk all her life.
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。
After days of consideration, Bazan made a big decision.

During the 20th century, an estimated 3 million great whales were hunted to provide humans with oil, meat and rose fertiliser. Roger Payne, a biologist and environmentalist, spurred (推动) a worldwide environmental conservation movement with his discovery that whales could sing.
This discovery was made in 1967 during his research trip to Bermuda (百慕大) when a navy engineer provided him with a recording of curious underwater sounds documented. Payne identified the tones as songs whales sing to one another and he was conscious from the start that whale song was to get the public interested in protecting an animal previously considered little more than a resource, curiosity or nuisance.
Payne saw the discovery of whale song as a chance to spur interest in saving the giant animals, who were disappearing from the planet. In 1970, Payne released the album Songs of the Humpback Whale. The record, a surprise hit, fueled a global movement to end the practice of commercial whale hunting and save the whales from extinction. It remains the bestselling environmental album in history.
The impact of the whale song discovery on the early environmental movement was immense. Many antiwar protesters of the day took on saving animals and the environment as a new cause. The humpback whale became the icon of a new environmental awareness. And the whales entered pop culture, no longer the fearsome beasts. In 1977, the whale calls were loaded on to the Voyager probes and sent into outer space.
Payne, graduating from Harvard University and Cornell University with a doctor’s degree, authored or co authored dozens of scientific papers, gave hundreds of lectures, made countless television programmes and films, and led 100 oceanic expeditions. Payne had started an ambitious new project: CETI, a combination of scientists using new technology to interpret what whales might be “saying”.
4. What caused the decline of the whale population in the 20th century
A. Habitat loss. B. The climate change.
C. Uncontrolled hunting. D. The ocean pollution.
5. What was the purpose of releasing the album of whale songs
A. To boost interest in protecting whales. B. To satisfy people’s curiosity about sea.
C. To achieve great commercial success. D. To earn a reputation as a researcher.
6. Which of the following can best describe Roger Payne
A. Considerate. B. Accomplished.
C. Courageous. D. Patient.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. The conservation of ocean environment.
B. Efforts to awake public ocean awareness.
C. A high-tech way to document whale tones.
D. A whale protection campaign by a biologist.

C
A Harvard 2020 paper found a 8％ increase in the number of call handled per hour by employees of an online business that had shifted from offices to homes. Far less noticed was a revised version of the paper, published in May, 2023. The boost to efficiency had become a 4% decline.
With more precise data, the researchers hadn’t made a mistake. Not only did employees answer fewer calls when remote, the quality of their interactions suffered. Customers waited longer. More also phoned back, an indication of unsolved problems.
Other studies have reached similar conclusions. Those working at home were less productive than their peers in the office. The reasons for the findings won’t surprise anyone who has spent much of the past few years working from a dining-room table. It’s harder for people to concentrate at home. Another cost may rise overtime: the underdevelopment of human cooperation. They also documented a relative decline in learning for workers at home. Those in offices picked up skills more quickly.
There’s more to work and life than productivity. Perhaps the greatest virtue of remote work is that it leads to happier employees. People spend less time commuting, which might feel like an increase in productivity, even if conventional measures fail to detect it. They can more easily fit in school pickups and doctor appointments, not to mention the occasional lie-in or mid-morning jog. And some tasks can often be done more smoothly from home than in open offices.
All this explains why so many workers have kept off offices. Indeed, several surveys have found employees are willing to accept pay cuts for the option of working from home. Having satisfied employees on slightly lower pay, in turn, might be a good deal for corporate managers. For many people, the future of work will remain mixed. Nevertheless, bosses want to keep the balance of work week and prefer office away from home, not because they fear rush hour traffic, but because better productivity lies in that direction.
8. What did the revised paper find out about working at home
A. It boosted the cooperation of employees.
B. It made the employees far less noticed.
C. It improved employees’ sense of duty.
D. It weakened employees’ work efficiency.
9. What accounts for the lack of productivity with working at home
A. There are many distractions at home.
B. There’s a lack of cooperation at home.
C. People have no chance to learn new skills.
D. People are tired of the long working time.
10. Why do employers prefer office work
A. It keeps the boundary between work and life.
B. It builds employees’ satisfaction with the pay.
C. It helps to improve workplace productivity.
D. It encourages employees to work for pay rise.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Working From Home Provides Flexibility
B. Working From Home Hurts Productivity
C. Being Shy From Workplace Hurts People
D. The Time of Working at Home Is Over
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者从哈佛大学的两份报告入手，讲述居家办公的诸多弊端，比如员工的工作效率降低，学习新技能有困难等等，最后说，虽然员工宁愿降低薪酬居家办公，但是老板关心的是职场效率。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A Harvard 2020 paper found a 8％ increase in the number of call handled per hour by employees of an online business that had shifted from offices to homes. Far less noticed was a revised version of the paper, published in May, 2023. The boost to efficiency had become a 4% decline.(哈佛大学2020年的一篇论文发现，一家从办公室转移到家庭的在线企业的员工每小时处理的电话数量增加了8%。2023年5月发表的这篇论文的修订版却很少引起人们的注意。效率的提升变成了4%的下降)”可知，哈佛大学在2020年出版的一篇论文中说居家办公能提高员工的效率，但是随后在2023年出版的该论文的修订版中却说，居家办公使员工的办公效率在降低。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Those working at home were less productive than their peers in the office. The reasons for the findings won’t surprise anyone who has spent much of the past few years working from a dining-room table. It’s harder for people to concentrate at home.(在家工作人比在办公室工作的人效率低。对于过去几年大部分时间都在餐桌上工作的人来说，研究结果的原因不会让他们感到惊讶。人们在家里更难集中注意力)”可知，在家难以聚精会神。故选A项。

推理判断题。根据最后一段“Nevertheless, bosses want to keep the balance of work week and prefer office away from home, not because they fear rush hour traffic, but because better productivity lies in that direction.(然而，老板们希望保持工作周的平衡，更喜欢在远离家的地方办公，不是因为他们担心高峰时段的交通堵塞，而是因为这样能提高工作效率)”可知，老板更希望员工能离开家到办公室工作，因为这样一来更能提高工作效率。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A Harvard 2020 paper found a 8％ increase in the number of call handled per hour by employees of an online business that had shifted from offices to homes.

D
The steam engine, electric lighting, refrigeration. If you’re wondering what these things have in common, they’re examples of transformative technologies that lifted worker productivity. Does generative AI belong on that list
Hardly a day passes without some news of the great things that so-called large language models (LLMs) can do — from writing academic papers to designing buildings — along with projections on how many jobs will be wiped out as companies figure out ways to apply the new technology. But economists are divided on whether the likes of OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Bard have the potential to jump-start productivity growth worldwide.
Researchers in a consulting firm project AI will deliver $4.4 trillion in economic benefits annually to the global economy, equal to 4.4% of global output in 2022 Harvard professor Neeley likens the birth of generative AI to the arrival of the Internet. “It is exactly that moment we are facing again — that vital moment that forever changes how we work, how we interact with one another, how we think, how we produce. We are at that moment again.”
There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical, though. Robert Gordon, a professor at Northwestern University and author of The Rise and Fall of American Growth, argues that the Internet and AI haven’t been as revolutionary as what economists call general-purpose technologies, such as electricity.
Worries about AI replacing workers have been at the center of a labor dispute in Hollywood writers and actors. A survey by Microsoft found that 49% of the people say they’re worried AI will replace their jobs.
On the flip side, blue collar workers could benefit. “It won’t change blue-collar work, but it will change who can get out of blue collar work and get into better jobs,” an economic historian at Cornell University says. “We are living through one of those turning points in human history.”
12. Why does the author mention OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard
A. To introduce a debate. B. To define a concept.
C. To make a prediction. D. To explain a technology.
13. What does the underlined word “likens” mean in paragraph 3
A. Contributes. B. Attaches. C. Compares. D. Changes.
14. What can we know about Robert Gordon
A. He is in favor of AI. B. He acts as an electricity professor.
C. He is an economist and author. D. He suspects AI’s revolutionary role.
15. What does the economic historian think about blue collar work in the AI-era
A. Doubtful. B. Promising. C. Fascinating. D. Worrying.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了人工智能对整个社会的影响，并介绍了几位研究人员对人工智能的不同看法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“But economists are divided on whether the likes of OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Bard have the potential to jump-start productivity growth worldwide.(但对于OpenAI的ChatGPT或谷歌的Bard是否有潜力推动全球生产率增长，经济学家们存在分歧)”可推知，作者在本段提及ChatGPT和Bard是为了引出人工智能是否具有变革性作用的争论。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后文“It is exactly that moment we are facing again — that vital moment that forever changes how we work, how we interact with one another, how we think, how we produce. We are at that moment again.(这正是我们再次面临的关键时刻，这个关键时刻将永远改变我们的工作方式、我们与他人的互动方式、我们的思考方式、我们的生产方式。我们又回到了那个时刻)”可知，此处所说的回到那个时刻，是指前文提到的互联网出现的时刻，所以慈湖Neeley教授将生成式人工智能的出现比作互联网的出现。故划线词与Compares意义相近。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Robert Gordon, a professor at Northwestern University and author of The Rise and Fall of American Growth, argues that the Internet and AI haven’t been as revolutionary as what economists call general-purpose technologies, such as electricity.(西北大学(Northwestern University)教授、《美国经济增长的兴衰》(The Rise and Fall of American Growth)一书的作者罗伯特·戈登(Robert Gordon)认为，互联网和人工智能并不像经济学家所说的通用技术那样具有革命性，比如电力)”可知，Robert Gordon教授不相信人工智能会起到革命性作用。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It won’t change blue-collar work, but it will change who can get out of blue-collar work and get into better jobs(它不会改变蓝领工作，但会改变谁能摆脱蓝领工作，找到更好的工作)”可推知，康奈尔大学的一位经济历史学家认为人工智能时代的蓝领工作是有前途的。故选B项。

【19题详解】
分析设空，位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“You obviously want to grow and do better in life, right The best way is to have wise people as your mentors (导师), like teachers, colleagues and even special friends. Prior to making them a mentor, find out what makes them wiser, then engage in useful dialogue with them.(你显然想要成长，想要在生活中做得更好，对吗 最好的方法是找一些有智慧的人做你的导师，比如老师、同事，甚至是特别的朋友。在成为他们的导师之前，找出是什么让他们更聪明，然后与他们进行有益的对话)”可知，本段的主题为“以智者为师”，所以F项“The more time is spent with them, the more transfer of knowledge there will be.(与他们相处的时间越多，知识的传递就越多)”与本段主题相符，且F项中的“them”与上文中的“them”相呼应。故选F项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“If you have accumulated a lot of knowledge, then why not share it with others too (如果你积累了很多知识，那么为什么不与他人分享呢 )”可知，本段提出积累了很多知识后要与他人分享并积极帮助他人，所以G项“Communicating with others and helping them out will also increase your wisdom.(与他人交流并帮助他们也会增加你的智慧。)”与本段主题相符，且G项中的“Communicating with others”与上文中的“share it with others”相呼应。故选G项。

Painting had always fascinated Bazan since she was born. At the age of two, she held her first art exhibition on the family refrigerator. “Your artworks are really unique! So, I assume you’re as good as Leonardo da Vinci or anybody else,” said her mother, who had always been highly encouraging with Bazan’s art. Then, Bazan signed up for an art class and quickly discovered her natural talent, “To me, a canvas( 画布) is a door to another world where I have full creative control,” Bazan used to say to her mother.
The year she turned five, however, she was diagnosed with mental anxiety. She struggled with focusing, paying attention, or siting sill. Her mother sill supported her in learning art, though. Even with family support, finding the feeling in control had often been a horrific challenge for her.
Bazan attended the University of Kentucky in 2010, whose major was art education, but didn’t connect with the prospect of teaching. It made her unhappy. “I just wasn’t drawn to it as much,” she said. Confusion about her uncertain future, coupled with her increasingly severe illness, made her eventually drop out of college.
Life went on for a decade. Bazan had a son and moved to Sheboygan, far away from her parents. She worked in a local grocery. Every day after work, she rushed home to care for her son. Life was difficult. Soon after, she divorced with her husband because of her bad condition.
As her son grew up, Bazan became restless, and reconsidered the meaning of life. She felt she couldn’t give up on the calling of her art. “I love art,” she said. It occurred to her that she could learn different techniques- from sewing and textiles to printmaking or painting. She would discover a new path in her professional development, instead of being a salesclerk all her life.
