(2024·宝安模拟) 阅读理解
Traveling to Europe can be so expensive. If you have a tight travel budget, we have other options for your next European vacation. We found some places as cheap as Thailand while looking as pretty as Spain, Greece or Italy.
Bulgaria
Bulgaria is often characterized as being a country of stunning landscapes and friendly people with a rich history of culture. And it has a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. In Bulgaria you can find accommodation for under fifteen dollars per night and a meal at a local restaurant will cost you no more than five dollars. From Sofia the capital, why not take a train to Istanbul for about fifteen dollars What an adventure!
Romania
Romania is a country that not a lot of people know about, but it might be one you want to try on your next trip. Bucharest has a rich, historic architecture and a great nightlife for younger travelers. Besides the capital, there are many other beautiful places to explore in Romania, like you can go to Transylvania and see Dracula's castle. Good accommodation and a lot of restaurants are available here at a low cost. What a deal!
Albania
A perfect alternative to Spain or Italy, Albania has a lot of history and culture, but without all the crowds of tourists that you'll find in those places. It has some of the best beaches in Europe, so you can take advantage of that as well. The food is cheap and the average cost of accommodation in Albania is also low, with around thirty dollars per night for a mid-range budget.

All I needed to do to earn the two dollars was to clean her house for a few hours after school. It was a beautiful house with things that were common in her neighborhood, absent in mine.
Working for her brought me a sense of pride, not only because I could immerse myself in little luxuries like movies and candy, but also because I contributed half of my earnings to my mother, ensuring they were used for necessities. I was not like the children in folktales: burdensome mouths to feed, problems so severe that they were abandoned to the forest. I had a status that doing routine chores in my house did not provide — and it earned me a slow smile and confirmations that I was adult-like, not childlike.
Little by little, I got better at cleaning her house — good enough to be given more to do. After struggling to move the piano, my limbs ached terribly. Despite wanting to decline or voice my discomfort, I feared losing my job and the independence and respect it afforded me. She began to offer me her clothes, for a price. Impressed by these worn things, which looked simply elegant to a little girl who had only two dresses to wear to school, I bought a few.
Still I had trouble summoning up (鼓起) the courage to object to the increasing demands she made. Despite feeling overwhelmed, I hesitated to voice my concerns, knowing my mother would urge me to quit. However, one day while alone in the kitchen with my father, I expressed my disappointment. In any case, he put down his cup of coffee and said, "Whatever the work is, do it well — not for the boss but for yourself. You make the job; it doesn't make you. You are not the work you do; you are the person you are."
I have worked for all sorts of people since then, geniuses and fools, quick-witted and dull, big-hearted and narrow. I've had many kinds of jobs, but since that conversation with my father, I have never considered the level of labor to be the measure of myself, and I have never placed the security of a job above my self-worth and family value.
4.What mainly enabled the author to bear the burden of work
A.Abundant exposure to entertainment.
B.Satisfaction gained from social work.
C.Inborn abilities to handle work stress.
D.Pride in shouldering family obligations.
5.Which of the following can best describe the author's character
A.Determined and independent. B.Responsible but innocent.
C.Family-oriented and humorous. D.Ambitious but stubborn.
6.What did the author's father make her understand
A.Don't abandon her moral principles.
B.Don't be pessimistic about her identity.
C.Try to express her dissatisfaction in a free way.
D.Try to make a distinction between work and life.
7.Which of the following is the message the author wants to convey
A.Success isn't always guaranteed by hard work alone.
B.Family support can alleviate the pain of challenging work.
C.Don't regard work achievement as a criterion for defining oneself.
D.Social expectations may lead individuals away from their genuine goals.

In a normal year, Dayna Reber, a business analyst for a technology consulting firm in Camp Hill, Penn., would finish reading around three books. Thanks to the way Covid-19 has completely changed her daily routine, however, Ms. Reber, 30—who now works from home and rarely socializes offline—has polished off 46 volumes so far in 2020. And that count doesn't include the bedtime stories she reads to her 4-year-old.
For Ms. Reber and others, lockdown has brought back a passion for reading, both as beneficial time-filler when stuck at home and as a trusty escape. "When the coronavirus hit, I just felt a need to get away from TV and screens."
If binge (放纵地) reading hasn't fully replaced binge-watching Netflix shows quite yet, the trend is certainly making strides. In August 2020, year-over-year sales of print books in the U.S. were up 13%, according to NPD BookScan, which tracks book sales across the U.S. Publishers also report a notable increase in purchases of e-books, as well as all books about politics or related to civil rights, racism and diversity.
Independent booksellers, as well as publishers and authors, deserve considerable credit for fueling the page-turning trend. In March, Octavia Books introduced free shipping or delivery within New Orleans on orders of $25 or more. The bookstore also hosts author events via Zoom. And in Illinois, Page 1 Books established a subscription service, where customers fill out an online profile, noting their literary tastes, and then receive a package each month, a mix of hardcovers and paperbacks.
Jamie Miller, 34, a book blogger and "book-stagrammer" who lives in Harleysville, Penn, has long been a committed reader, but she says the hobby has meant far more importance this year. She now schedules a block of time every morning to read, typically a love or vivid novel. "Everything became so chaotic around me that it was just like what can I control " said Ms. Miller. "My brain just wants something guaranteed to be a happy ending."
8.What was a cause of Reber's achievement in book reading
A.Work requirement. B.Pandemic lockdown.
C.Parenting experience. D.Online recommendation.
9.What does the underlined words "making strides" mean in paragraph 3
A.On the way. B.Keeping pace.
C.In great progress. D.Drawing attention.
10.How did some bookstores react to the trend of offline reading
A.Opening new branches. B.Offering sales promotions.
C.Mailing books for free. D.Providing lending service.
11.What is the text mainly about
A.Reasons behind a book reading hit.
B.Influence of lockdown on people.
C.Trend of video watching on Netflix.
D.Secret to offline bookstore success.

A new study examined scientists' peer reviews, or researchers' official statements on others' work, across multiple AI-related conferences. At one such conference, those peer reviews used the word "meticulous" — a buzzword often associated with generative A.I., like ChatGPT — almost 3,400 percent more than the previous year. Other major conferences showed similar patterns. In other words, many researchers were handing, at least, parts of their peer review over to A.I.
What's going on in science is a slice of a much bigger problem. Any viral post on social media now almost certainly includes A.I.-generated elements. There are synthetic videos for children on YouTube, like music videos about parrots where the birds have eyes within eyes, singing in an unnatural voice. The narratives make no sense, and characters appear and disappear randomly.
As a neuroscientist, this worries me. Isn't it possible that human culture contains within it cognitive micronutrients — things like reasonable sentences, narrations and character continuity — that developing brains need Einstein supposedly said: "If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be very intelligent, read them more fairy tales." But what happens when a child is consuming mostly A.I.-generated waste We find ourselves in the middle of a vast developmental experiment.
A.I.'s cultural pollution is driven by a desire to fill the Internet's appetite for content as cheaply as possible, which in turn pollutes our culture. And despite public appeals to act against it, A.I. companies are dragging their feet because it goes against the industry's bottom line to have detectable products, which they fear might weaken the model's performance, although there is no current evidence.
To deal with this general refusal to act, we need a Clean Internet Act. Perhaps the simplest solution would be to force built-in watermarking to A.I. generated outputs, like patterns not easily removable. Just as the 20th century required action to protect the shared environment, the 21st century is going to require actions to protect a different but equally critical resource: our shared human culture.
12.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A.Children should avoid social media.
B.A.I. writings are unreliable.
C.Synthetic elements make no sense.
D.A.I. pollution is widespread.
13.Why does the author mention Einstein in Paragraph 3
A.To promote experiments on reading.
B.To connect intelligence and fairy tales.
C.To show concerns over cognitive input quality.
D.To contrast stories withA.I. generated content.
14.Which might be a useful way to stop A.I. products polluting our culture
A.Increasing the expense. B.Adding permanent labels.
C.Creating various patterns. D.Building moreA.I. models.
15.Which might be the best title for the text
A.A.I. Garbage Is Polluting our Culture
B.A.I. Companies Change Tech Industry
C.A.I. Performance Continues to Decline
D.A.I. Products Impact Scientific Research

47.(2024·宝安模拟) 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 I was a boy, I always wore turtleneck shirts because I was so sensitive and shy. I worked hard to earn exceptional marks and always tried to behave well. I was younger than everyone else because my good marks had allowed me to skip second grade, but this added nothing to my already low self-confidence.
When I was 14, my parents divorced (离婚). I moved in with my dad in a new neighborhood, but he was always so busy and had little time for me. It seemed the only time he ever spoke to me was to be demanding or critical. I began to hate coming home from school every day. I sank further into my low self-esteem (自尊) and was overwhelmed with feeling unappreciated and alone.
One day, my aunt called. This seemed like a miracle to me. Aunt Ginette usually only called once a year, on my birthday. She said she had just seen some young teenagers participate in a public speaking contest, and she thought I should try it, too. She told me she firmly believed I could perform on stage like the other kids since she had seen me do skits (幽默小品) for the family at Christmas.
I was a little taken aback, Me On stage In a public speaking contest To agree would be contrary to my entire shy personality. But Aunt Ginette was so confident and seemed really serious. Feeling her strong belief, I went against all odds and agreed to enter the contest. All that winter, twice a week after dinner, I took three different buses for the three-hour round-trip to practice in Ville d'Anjou, where the competition would take place. I was taken by an energy I had never felt before. The hours and the obstacles no longer mattered. Although my dad really did love me and wanted the best for me, he disapproved of this new dream, fearing it would take away from my homework time and impact my marks. But I remained a top performer in school and never missed a day.

【知识点】推理判断题;细节理解题;段落大意;说明文;科普类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了人工智能(AI)在科学研究和社会文化领域中日益增长的应用及其带来的潜在影响。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,推理判断和段落大意三个题型的考查,是一篇科技类阅读,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。
12.考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"At one such conference, those peer reviews used the word ‘meticulous' — a buzzword often associated with generative A.I., like ChatGPT — almost 3,400 percent more than the previous year. "在一次这样的会议上,同行评审使用了"meticulous"这个词——一个经常与生成式人工智能联系在一起的流行词,比如ChatGPT——几乎比前一年多了3400%;以及第二段中的"Any viral post on social media now almost certainly includes A.I.-generated elements. "现在,社交媒体上的任何热门帖子几乎都肯定包含人工智能生成的元素。可知,第一段讨论了AI在科学同行评审中日益增加的使用,特别是指出了"meticulous"这个词的使用率与前一年相比增加了近3400%。第二段则转移到了社交媒体上人工智能内容的泛滥。这两段共同展现了AI生成内容的普遍性以及它可能对人类文化和交流造成的污染。故选D。
13.考查推理判断。根据第三段"As a neuroscientist, this worries me. Isn't it possible that human culture contains within it cognitive micronutrients — things like reasonable sentences, narrations and character continuity — that developing brains need Einstein supposedly said: ‘If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be very intelligent, read them more fairy tales.' But what happens when a child is consuming mostly A.I.-generated waste We find ourselves in the middle of a vast developmental experiment. "作为一名神经科学家,这让我很担心。人类文化是否可能包含了认知微量营养素——比如合理的句子、叙述和人物连续性——这些是大脑发育所需要的 据说爱因斯坦说过:"如果你想让你的孩子聪明,给他们读童话故事。"如果你想让他们变得非常聪明,那就多给他们读童话吧。"但是,当一个孩子消耗的主要是人工智能产生的废物时,会发生什么呢?我们发现自己正处于一个巨大的发展实验中。可知,在第三段中,作者提到爱因斯坦关于想象力的重要性,并强调孩子们需要阅读高质量的书籍来发展他们的想象力。接着,作者通过对比孩子们消费AI生成的"垃圾"内容和阅读经典故事,表达了对孩子们认知输入质量的担忧。这种担忧与爱因斯坦强调的想象力的重要性形成了鲜明对比,突显了高质量内容对于儿童认知发展的重要性。因此,作者提到爱因斯坦是为了强调对认知输入质量的关注。故选C。
14.考查细节理解。根据最后一段"To deal with this general refusal to act, we need a Clean Internet Act. Perhaps the simplest solution would be to force built-in watermarking to A.I. generated outputs, like patterns not easily removable. Just as the 20th century required action to protect the shared environment, the 21st century is going to require actions to protect a different but equally critical resource: our shared human culture. "为了应对这种普遍的拒绝行动,我们需要一个清洁互联网法案。也许最简单的解决方案是将内置水印强制添加到人工智能生成的输出中,比如不易移除的图案。正如20世纪需要采取行动保护共同的环境一样,21世纪将需要采取行动保护另一种不同但同样重要的资源:我们共同的人类文化。可知,作者建议通过立法(如"清洁互联网法案")来要求AI生成的内容带有水印,以识别其来源和性质。这种方式实际上就是在AI生成的内容上添加永久标签,从而帮助人们区分哪些是AI生成的内容,哪些是真实的人类创作。因此,添加永久标签是一个可能有效的方式来阻止AI生成的内容污染我们的文化。故选B。
15.考查标题归纳。纵观全文可知可知,本文介绍了AI在社交媒体内容生成,特别是面向儿童的内容生成中的广泛应用,以及这种趋势对人类文化和儿童发展的潜在影响。作者表达了对AI生成内容可能污染人类文化的担忧,并提出了通过立法要求AI生成的内容带有水印作为解决方案。"AI垃圾正在污染我们的文化"准确地概括了文章的核心内容和主题,适合作本文标题,故选A。

All I needed to do to earn the two dollars was to clean her house for a few hours after school. It was a beautiful house with things that were common in her neighborhood, absent in mine.
Working for her brought me a sense of pride, not only because I could immerse myself in little luxuries like movies and candy, but also because I contributed half of my earnings to my mother, ensuring they were used for necessities. I was not like the children in folktales: burdensome mouths to feed, problems so severe that they were abandoned to the forest. I had a status that doing routine chores in my house did not provide — and it earned me a slow smile and confirmations that I was adult-like, not childlike.
Little by little, I got better at cleaning her house — good enough to be given more to do. After struggling to move the piano, my limbs ached terribly. Despite wanting to decline or voice my discomfort, I feared losing my job and the independence and respect it afforded me. She began to offer me her clothes, for a price. Impressed by these worn things, which looked simply elegant to a little girl who had only two dresses to wear to school, I bought a few.
Still I had trouble summoning up (鼓起) the courage to object to the increasing demands she made. Despite feeling overwhelmed, I hesitated to voice my concerns, knowing my mother would urge me to quit. However, one day while alone in the kitchen with my father, I expressed my disappointment. In any case, he put down his cup of coffee and said, "Whatever the work is, do it well — not for the boss but for yourself. You make the job; it doesn't make you. You are not the work you do; you are the person you are."
I have worked for all sorts of people since then, geniuses and fools, quick-witted and dull, big-hearted and narrow. I've had many kinds of jobs, but since that conversation with my father, I have never considered the level of labor to be the measure of myself, and I have never placed the security of a job above my self-worth and family value.

4.细节理解题。根据第二段"Working for her brought me a sense of pride, not only because I could immerse myself in little luxuries like movies and candy, but also because I contributed half of my earnings to my mother, ensuring they were used for necessities 为她工作给我带来了一种自豪感,不仅因为我可以沉浸在像电影和糖果这样的小奢侈品中,还因为我把一半的收入捐给了我母亲,确保这些收入用于生活必需品",可知承担家庭责任带来的自豪感让作者能够承受工作的重担,故选D。
5.推理判断题。根据第三段中的"After struggling to move the piano, my limbs ached terribly. Despite wanting to decline or voice my discomfort, I feared losing my job and the independence and respect it afforded me挣扎着搬动钢琴后,我的四肢痛得厉害。尽管我想拒绝或表达我的不适,但我害怕失去我的工作,失去它给我的独立和尊重",可知尽管辛苦,但是作者选择了坚持,所以作者是一个有决心的人;根据第二段中的"I had a status that doing routine chores in my house did not provide — and it earned me a slow smile and confirmations that I was adult-like, not childlike我有一种地位,在家里做日常的家务并不能给我带来——这让我慢慢地笑了笑,并确认我是成年人,而不是孩子",可知作者认为自己是成年人,不是孩子,说明作者是独立地。故选A。
6.细节理解题。根据第四段中父亲的话"Whatever the work is, do it well — not for the boss but for yourself. You make the job; it doesn't make you. You are not the work you do; you are the person you are管是什么工作,都要做好——不是为了老板,而是为了你自己。你造就了这份工作;不是工作造就了你。你所做的工作不能代表你;你就是你自己",可知父亲让作者明白要把自己和工作分开。故选D。

I've had many kinds of jobs, but since that conversation with my father, I have never considered the level of labor to be the measure of myself, and I have never placed the security of a job above my self-worth and family value从那以后,我为各种各样的人工作过,有天才的也有傻瓜的,有机智的也有迟钝的,有心胸宽广的也有心胸狭窄的。我做过很多种工作,但自从和父亲的那次谈话之后,我就不再把劳动水平作为衡量自己的标准,也不再把工作的安全感置于自我价值和家庭价值之上",可知作者认为不能把工作成就作为衡量自己的标准,不把工作置于自我价值和家庭价值之上,故选C。

In a normal year, Dayna Reber, a business analyst for a technology consulting firm in Camp Hill, Penn., would finish reading around three books. Thanks to the way Covid-19 has completely changed her daily routine, however, Ms. Reber, 30—who now works from home and rarely socializes offline—has polished off 46 volumes so far in 2020. And that count doesn't include the bedtime stories she reads to her 4-year-old.
For Ms. Reber and others, lockdown has brought back a passion for reading, both as beneficial time-filler when stuck at home and as a trusty escape. "When the coronavirus hit, I just felt a need to get away from TV and screens."
If binge (放纵地) reading hasn't fully replaced binge-watching Netflix shows quite yet, the trend is certainly making strides. In August 2020, year-over-year sales of print books in the U.S. were up 13%, according to NPD BookScan, which tracks book sales across the U.S. Publishers also report a notable increase in purchases of e-books, as well as all books about politics or related to civil rights, racism and diversity.
Independent booksellers, as well as publishers and authors, deserve considerable credit for fueling the page-turning trend. In March, Octavia Books introduced free shipping or delivery within New Orleans on orders of $25 or more. The bookstore also hosts author events via Zoom. And in Illinois, Page 1 Books established a subscription service, where customers fill out an online profile, noting their literary tastes, and then receive a package each month, a mix of hardcovers and paperbacks.
Jamie Miller, 34, a book blogger and "book-stagrammer" who lives in Harleysville, Penn, has long been a committed reader, but she says the hobby has meant far more importance this year. She now schedules a block of time every morning to read, typically a love or vivid novel. "Everything became so chaotic around me that it was just like what can I control " said Ms. Miller. "My brain just wants something guaranteed to be a happy ending."
8.What was a cause of Reber's achievement in book reading
A.Work requirement. B.Pandemic lockdown.
C.Parenting experience. D.Online recommendation.
9.What does the underlined words "making strides" mean in paragraph 3
A.On the way. B.Keeping pace.
C.In great progress. D.Drawing attention.
10.How did some bookstores react to the trend of offline reading
A.Opening new branches. B.Offering sales promotions.
C.Mailing books for free. D.Providing lending service.
11.What is the text mainly about
A.Reasons behind a book reading hit.
B.Influence of lockdown on people.
C.Trend of video watching on Netflix.
D.Secret to offline bookstore success.
【答案】8.B

A new study examined scientists' peer reviews, or researchers' official statements on others' work, across multiple AI-related conferences. At one such conference, those peer reviews used the word "meticulous" — a buzzword often associated with generative A.I., like ChatGPT — almost 3,400 percent more than the previous year. Other major conferences showed similar patterns. In other words, many researchers were handing, at least, parts of their peer review over to A.I.
What's going on in science is a slice of a much bigger problem. Any viral post on social media now almost certainly includes A.I.-generated elements. There are synthetic videos for children on YouTube, like music videos about parrots where the birds have eyes within eyes, singing in an unnatural voice. The narratives make no sense, and characters appear and disappear randomly.
As a neuroscientist, this worries me. Isn't it possible that human culture contains within it cognitive micronutrients — things like reasonable sentences, narrations and character continuity — that developing brains need Einstein supposedly said: "If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be very intelligent, read them more fairy tales." But what happens when a child is consuming mostly A.I.-generated waste We find ourselves in the middle of a vast developmental experiment.
A.I.'s cultural pollution is driven by a desire to fill the Internet's appetite for content as cheaply as possible, which in turn pollutes our culture. And despite public appeals to act against it, A.I. companies are dragging their feet because it goes against the industry's bottom line to have detectable products, which they fear might weaken the model's performance, although there is no current evidence.
To deal with this general refusal to act, we need a Clean Internet Act. Perhaps the simplest solution would be to force built-in watermarking to A.I. generated outputs, like patterns not easily removable. Just as the 20th century required action to protect the shared environment, the 21st century is going to require actions to protect a different but equally critical resource: our shared human culture.
12.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A.Children should avoid social media.
B.A.I. writings are unreliable.
C.Synthetic elements make no sense.
D.A.I. pollution is widespread.
13.Why does the author mention Einstein in Paragraph 3
A.To promote experiments on reading.
B.To connect intelligence and fairy tales.
C.To show concerns over cognitive input quality.
D.To contrast stories withA.I. generated content.
14.Which might be a useful way to stop A.I. products polluting our culture
A.Increasing the expense. B.Adding permanent labels.
C.Creating various patterns. D.Building moreA.I. models.
15.Which might be the best title for the text
A.A.I. Garbage Is Polluting our Culture
B.A.I. Companies Change Tech Industry
C.A.I. Performance Continues to Decline
D.A.I. Products Impact Scientific Research
【答案】12.D

【知识点】推理判断题;细节理解题;段落大意;说明文;科普类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了人工智能(AI)在科学研究和社会文化领域中日益增长的应用及其带来的潜在影响。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,推理判断和段落大意三个题型的考查,是一篇科技类阅读,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。
12.考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"At one such conference, those peer reviews used the word ‘meticulous' — a buzzword often associated with generative A.I., like ChatGPT — almost 3,400 percent more than the previous year. "在一次这样的会议上,同行评审使用了"meticulous"这个词——一个经常与生成式人工智能联系在一起的流行词,比如ChatGPT——几乎比前一年多了3400%;以及第二段中的"Any viral post on social media now almost certainly includes A.I.-generated elements. "现在,社交媒体上的任何热门帖子几乎都肯定包含人工智能生成的元素。可知,第一段讨论了AI在科学同行评审中日益增加的使用,特别是指出了"meticulous"这个词的使用率与前一年相比增加了近3400%。第二段则转移到了社交媒体上人工智能内容的泛滥。这两段共同展现了AI生成内容的普遍性以及它可能对人类文化和交流造成的污染。故选D。
13.考查推理判断。根据第三段"As a neuroscientist, this worries me. Isn't it possible that human culture contains within it cognitive micronutrients — things like reasonable sentences, narrations and character continuity — that developing brains need Einstein supposedly said: ‘If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be very intelligent, read them more fairy tales.' But what happens when a child is consuming mostly A.I.-generated waste We find ourselves in the middle of a vast developmental experiment. "作为一名神经科学家,这让我很担心。人类文化是否可能包含了认知微量营养素——比如合理的句子、叙述和人物连续性——这些是大脑发育所需要的 据说爱因斯坦说过:"如果你想让你的孩子聪明,给他们读童话故事。"如果你想让他们变得非常聪明,那就多给他们读童话吧。"但是,当一个孩子消耗的主要是人工智能产生的废物时,会发生什么呢?我们发现自己正处于一个巨大的发展实验中。可知,在第三段中,作者提到爱因斯坦关于想象力的重要性,并强调孩子们需要阅读高质量的书籍来发展他们的想象力。接着,作者通过对比孩子们消费AI生成的"垃圾"内容和阅读经典故事,表达了对孩子们认知输入质量的担忧。这种担忧与爱因斯坦强调的想象力的重要性形成了鲜明对比,突显了高质量内容对于儿童认知发展的重要性。因此,作者提到爱因斯坦是为了强调对认知输入质量的关注。故选C。
14.考查细节理解。根据最后一段"To deal with this general refusal to act, we need a Clean Internet Act. Perhaps the simplest solution would be to force built-in watermarking to A.I. generated outputs, like patterns not easily removable. Just as the 20th century required action to protect the shared environment, the 21st century is going to require actions to protect a different but equally critical resource: our shared human culture. "为了应对这种普遍的拒绝行动,我们需要一个清洁互联网法案。也许最简单的解决方案是将内置水印强制添加到人工智能生成的输出中,比如不易移除的图案。正如20世纪需要采取行动保护共同的环境一样,21世纪将需要采取行动保护另一种不同但同样重要的资源:我们共同的人类文化。可知,作者建议通过立法(如"清洁互联网法案")来要求AI生成的内容带有水印,以识别其来源和性质。这种方式实际上就是在AI生成的内容上添加永久标签,从而帮助人们区分哪些是AI生成的内容,哪些是真实的人类创作。因此,添加永久标签是一个可能有效的方式来阻止AI生成的内容污染我们的文化。故选B。
15.考查标题归纳。纵观全文可知可知,本文介绍了AI在社交媒体内容生成,特别是面向儿童的内容生成中的广泛应用,以及这种趋势对人类文化和儿童发展的潜在影响。作者表达了对AI生成内容可能污染人类文化的担忧,并提出了通过立法要求AI生成的内容带有水印作为解决方案。"AI垃圾正在污染我们的文化"准确地概括了文章的核心内容和主题,适合作本文标题,故选A。

【答案】Dear David,I hope you're doing well. I'm writing to tell you about a meaningful event, the coming-of-age ceremony for the Senior Three students, marking our journey into adulthood as we've all turned 18.
Our principal initiated the ceremony with an uplifting speech about our future responsibilities and the new stage of life that lies ahead. Then, in a deeply touching part of the program, my classmates and I read letters written by our parents, which were filled with love, advice, and memories. We then took turns to express our gratitude for our upbringing and shared our determination to face adult life with courage and integrity.
Experiencing the ritual made me incredibly excited for what's to come. I am stepping into this new phase with a heart brimming with hope and eyes wide open to the possibilities.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

When I was a boy, I always wore turtleneck shirts because I was so sensitive and shy. I worked hard to earn exceptional marks and always tried to behave well. I was younger than everyone else because my good marks had allowed me to skip second grade, but this added nothing to my already low self-confidence.
When I was 14, my parents divorced (离婚). I moved in with my dad in a new neighborhood, but he was always so busy and had little time for me. It seemed the only time he ever spoke to me was to be demanding or critical. I began to hate coming home from school every day. I sank further into my low self-esteem (自尊) and was overwhelmed with feeling unappreciated and alone.
One day, my aunt called. This seemed like a miracle to me. Aunt Ginette usually only called once a year, on my birthday. She said she had just seen some young teenagers participate in a public speaking contest, and she thought I should try it, too. She told me she firmly believed I could perform on stage like the other kids since she had seen me do skits (幽默小品) for the family at Christmas.
I was a little taken aback, Me On stage In a public speaking contest To agree would be contrary to my entire shy personality. But Aunt Ginette was so confident and seemed really serious. Feeling her strong belief, I went against all odds and agreed to enter the contest. All that winter, twice a week after dinner, I took three different buses for the three-hour round-trip to practice in Ville d'Anjou, where the competition would take place. I was taken by an energy I had never felt before. The hours and the obstacles no longer mattered. Although my dad really did love me and wanted the best for me, he disapproved of this new dream, fearing it would take away from my homework time and impact my marks. But I remained a top performer in school and never missed a day.

Paragraph 1: Four months later, the big night arrived. …… Paragraph 2: When I saw my father's face, his eyes were glowing with pride. ……
【答案】Four months later, the big night arrived. Nervousness still seized me in front of so many people. Taking a deep breath, I regained my calmness and stepped onto the stage while familiar lines of my speech began to whirl in my mind. And when I was about to start, I caught sight of Aunt Ginette, and, surprisingly, my dad, looking at me with expectation. Filled with energy, I wore a big smile and poured out every sentence with fluency. No sooner had I finished the speech than I received a warm applause. With joy, I quickly rushed down to greet my father.
When I saw my father's face, his eyes were glowing with pride. His previous critical words were replaced by an excited "congratulations" along with a rarely-seen thumbs-up. Tears filled his eyes, seemingly reflecting complex emotions. Next to him, my aunt's face lit up with a warm and comforting smile, reminding me of everything that I had gone through. Through their proud expressions, I could tell that it was the effort of us all, either visible or invisible, that drove me to the destination where my shyness had disappeared.
