以读促写：情感表达之“困惑”
Much to my surprise, Evelyn added that she thought it was cool when I talked to my parents with my hands. I breathed a sigh of relief.“Do you really think so？” I asked cautiously, still in doubt.

艾弗琳补充道，她认为我用手势同我爸爸妈妈交谈时很酷，这使我大为惊讶，我松了一口气。“你真的这么想吗？”我小心翼翼地问，仍将信将疑。艾弗琳点点头，一脸严肃认真的样子。“手势像一个密码，请你教我一些手势语，行吗？”我疑惑地看着她，犹豫起来。

数智赋能 随堂训练—用单元所学知识补全语段
(说明：文中加黑词汇为本单元主题词汇)
(2024·新高考Ⅱ卷·阅读理解D篇)Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in.This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革)．
In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades' professional experience translating the heady into the understandable.She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.
As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow AI” to Artificial General Intelligence.From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence.This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now — several decades before these developments are expected to take place.She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.
Campbell's point is to wake up those responsible for AI — the technology companies and world leaders — so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it.She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction level event for humanity.We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out.Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.
AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.

[真题评价]
[价值导向] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Catriona Campbell所著AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence一书。该书阐述了 AI的发展现状与前景，强调人类控制 AI的重要性，呼吁各界协同确保人工智能安全发展，以防潜在危机。文章旨在激发学生的批判性思维，培养其科学探究精神，体现高考语篇对科技发展的高度关注。
1．选C 词义猜测题。第二段主要介绍了这本书的作者的信息。由画线短语后文中的but可知，所在句子前后语义转折。but后是现在时态，描述一种事实，指出这本书的作者Campbell拥有二十多年的专业经验，能将枯燥难懂的内容变得很通俗易懂。but前提到，这本书可能会像计算机代码一样复杂难懂，其中could表示一种假设或可能情况。由此可推知，but前应该是假设一个不如Campbell专业的作者写出这本书的情况。
2．选B 细节理解题。第二段最后一句提到，这本书的作者从商业人士(而非学者)的实用角度出发，使得这本书极易理解、内容丰富。这意味着该书不会涉及过于复杂或技术性的语言，而是旨在为广泛读者提供易于理解的内容。B项中的down to earth呼应文中的practical和highly accessible。
3．选C 推理判断题。第三段最后一句提到，Campbell建议必须保持对人工智能的控制。第四段指出，Campbell期望科技公司和世界领导人与当前正在开发它的所有专家保持一致，并表示人类处在历史的“转折点”，必须立即采取行动，以防止面临灭顶之灾。这表明，她呼吁人们共同努力来控制人工智能的发展，以避免潜在的灾难。C项中的keep it under control呼应文中的keep control of artificial intelligence。
4．选A 写作目的题。通读全文可知，第一段介绍了新书；第二段介绍了本书作者的写作风格；第三、四段概述了书中的主要论点和观点及其意义；第五段进行总结，再次强烈推荐这本书。由此可知，作者写这篇文章是为了推荐一本有关AI的书。

②it is convenient for us to be engaged in more communication activities online
③which has made our travel more comfortable and efficient
④There is no denying that
⑤technology will bring a host of benefits
(二)参考范文：
One night, Alex did not turn on the lamp when I gave the command. I tried to say “Turn on the light” to it countless times, but Alex didn't work. “New technologies are always unreliable，” my husband complained.I searched the Internet and immediately found the reason why Alex couldn't work. I just needed to tell Alex to set the light color to white or whatever color I wanted, and then it would turn on the light. I thought I should thank my children and grandchildren for they taught me to use technology so that I could find a solution on the Internet by myself. Our children and grandchildren “force” us to accept and use technology, which seems to put us under pressure.However, the fact is that they let us really accept and use technology to make our life more convenient.

(2024·新高考Ⅱ卷·阅读理解D篇)Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI -powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in.This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革)．
__________________, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades' professional experience translating the heady into the understandable.She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.
In the wrong hands
As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow- AI” to Artificial General Intelligence.From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence.This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now — several decades before these developments are expected to take place.She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.
Campbell's point is to wake up those responsible for AI — the technology companies and world leaders — so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it.She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction -level event for humanity.We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out.Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.
AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.
[真题评价]
[价值导向] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Catriona Campbell所著AI by Design： A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence一书。该书阐述了 AI的发展现状与前景，强调人类控制 AI的重要性，呼吁各界协同确保人工智能安全发展，以防潜在危机。文章旨在激发学生的批判性思维，培养其科学探究精神，体现高考语篇对科技发展的高度关注。
√
1．What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．If read by someone poorly educated.
B．If reviewed by someone ill- intentioned.
C．If written by someone less competent.
D．If translated by someone unacademic.
解析：词义猜测题。第二段主要介绍了这本书的作者的信息。由画线短语后文中的but可知，所在句子前后语义转折。but后是现在时态，描述一种事实，指出这本书的作者Campbell拥有二十多年的专业经验，能将枯燥难懂的内容变得很通俗易懂。but前提到，这本书可能会像计算机代码一样复杂难懂，其中could表示一种假设或可能情况。由此可推知，but前应该是假设一个不如Campbell专业的作者写出这本书的情况。
2．What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text
A．It is packed with complex codes.
B．It adopts a down -to- earth writing style.
C．It provides step- by- step instructions.
D．It is intended for AI professionals.
√
解析：细节理解题。第二段最后一句提到，这本书的作者从商业人士(而非学者)的实用角度出发，使得这本书极易理解、内容丰富。这意味着该书不会涉及过于复杂或技术性的语言，而是旨在为广泛读者提供易于理解的内容。B项中的down- to -earth呼应文中的practical和highly accessible。
3．What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development
A．Observe existing regulations on it.
B．Reconsider expert opinions about it.
C．Make joint efforts to keep it under control.
D．Learn from prior experience to slow it down.
√
解析：推理判断题。第三段最后一句提到，Campbell建议必须保持对人工智能的控制。第四段指出，Campbell期望科技公司和世界领导人与当前正在开发它的所有专家保持一致，并表示人类处在历史的“转折点”，必须立即采取行动，以防止面临灭顶之灾。这表明，她呼吁人们共同努力来控制人工智能的发展，以避免潜在的灾难。C项中的keep it under control呼应文中的keep control of artificial intelligence。
4．What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A．To recommend a book on AI.
B．To give a brief account of AI history.
C．To clarify the definition of AI.
D．To honor an outstanding AI expert.
√
解析：写作目的题。通读全文可知，第一段介绍了新书；第二段介绍了本书作者的写作风格；第三、四段概述了书中的主要论点和观点及其意义；第五段进行总结，再次强烈推荐这本书。由此可知，作者写这篇文章是为了推荐一本有关AI的书。

请结合所给首句用第一人称续写一段文字，具体描述一下作者和丈夫各自的反应，问题是如何解决的，以及作者对科技发展的感想。
One night, Alex did not turn on the lamp when I gave the command.

参考范文：
One night, Alex did not turn on the lamp when I gave the command. I tried to say “Turn on the light” to it countless times, but Alex didn't work. “New technologies are always unreliable，” my husband complained.I searched the Internet and immediately found the reason why Alex couldn't work. I just needed to tell Alex to set the light color to white or whatever color I wanted, and then it would turn on the light.
I thought I should thank my children and grandchildren for they taught me to use technology so that I could find a solution on the Internet by myself. Our children and grandchildren “force” us to accept and use technology, which seems to put us under pressure.However, the fact is that they let us really accept and use technology to make our life more convenient.

课下测评—过高考关
课时作业(一) 主题阅读集群训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2025·平凉模拟)Last Friday, a special concert took place at the National Theater of Korea.It included five different pieces of music.Two were conducted by a robot called EveR 6, and two were conducted by Soo- Yeoul Choi, who leads the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra.Both conductors worked together on the final piece.
EveR 6 is a robot built by the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology.It's about as tall as a person, and has a human -like face that can show emotions.It has joints in its neck, shoulders, elbows, and wrists.As a result, it can move its arms quickly and smoothly in many different directions.
But EveR 6 doesn't think on its own like some advanced Artificial Intelligence programs.Instead, it has a limited group of movements that it has been trained to perform.To make these movements as natural as possible, EveR 6's movements are based on motions of real human conductors.When EveR 6 swung its baton for the first time, a gong rang out.Every movement of the robot's arms brought more instruments into the mix, and the orchestra's music grew louder and more exciting.
Mr Choi was impressed with the way EveR 6 moved.“The robot was able to present such detailed moves much better than I had imagined，”he said.But the robot still is not nearly ready to replace a human conductor.Mr Choi says the robot's greatest weakness is that it can't hear.“Some people think that conducting is just a combination of hand waving and keeping the beat，”says Mr Choi.But a good conductor needs to listen to the orchestra, so that he or she can correct and encourage the orchestra as it plays.
Mr Choi said that once EveR 6 started，“the musicians had no choice but to follow its beats.” He said this created a situation where “the performers have to communicate and ‘sense’ each other to follow the correct beats.”
Mr Choi doesn't think robots are likely to replace human conductors.But he believes robots could be helpful in situations like practice sessions where the same thing needs to be repeated many times.
语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了机器人指挥管弦乐队的情况。
1．What is the main disadvantage of EveR 6
A．It cannot keep the beat steady.
B．Its movements are not so natural.
C．It cannot show emotions like humans.
D．It lacks the ability of thinking independently.

√
2．What did Mr Choi mean by saying that“the musicians had no choice but to follow its beats”？
A．The robot is programmed with correct beats.
B．The musicians are not allowed to communicate.
C．The robot is trained to be strict with the performers.
D．The robot cannot interact with the musicians.
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中Choi说的话可知，音乐家们“别无选择，只能跟着节拍走”，是因为机器人不能和乐队互动交流。
√
3．What is Mr Choi's attitude toward EveR 6
A．Negative. B．Objective.
C．Subjective. D．Indifferent.
解析：观点态度题。根据第四段内容可知，Choi分别说明了机器人的优点和缺点，可推断出他对机器人的评价是客观的。

(2025·郴州模拟)Imagine living in a cool, green city alive with parks and threaded with footpaths, bike lanes and buses which transport people to shops, schools and service centers in a matter of minutes.
This fancy dream is behind the idea of the 15 -minute city, where all basic needs and services are within a quarter of an hour's reach, improving public health and lowering vehicle emissions.
Artificial intelligence could help urban planners realize that vision faster, with a new study from researchers at Tsinghua University in China demonstrating how machine learning can generate more efficient spatial layouts (空间布局) than humans can.
Automation scientist Zheng Yu and his colleagues wanted to find new solutions to improve our cities which are fast becoming blocked. They developed an AI system to tackle the tough tasks of urban planning and found it can produce urban plans that outperform human designs by about 50 percent in three aspects: access to services, green spaces and traffic levels.
Starting small, Zheng's team tasked their model with designing the urban area only a few square kilometers in size (about 3×3 blocks)．After two days of training, the AI system searched for the ideal road designs and land use to fit with the concept of the 15- minute city and local planning policies and needs.
While the AI model has some capabilities that could extend its use for planning larger urban areas, designing entire cities will be more complex.Drafting a neighborhood consisting of 4×4 blocks contains twice as many planning decisions as designing 3×3 blocks, the researchers said.
But automating even a few steps in the planning process can save huge amounts of time:the AI model can compute in seconds certain tasks that take human planners between 50 to 100 minutes to work through.
Rather than AI replacing people, Zheng and his colleagues think their AI system can work as an“assistant”to urban planners, who could generate concept designs optimized (优化) by the system, and reviewed, adjusted and evaluated by human experts based on community feedback.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了清华大学研究人员的一项新研究，展示了人工智能可以帮助城市规划者更快地创建城市规划设计。
5．According to the text, which of the following is NOT a benefit of the “15 -minute city” concept
A．Better public health.
B．Lower vehicle emissions.
C．Decreased access to green spaces.
D．Fast and convenient service.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段可知，不是减少了进入绿地的机会，而是机会更多。
√
6．Which major issue in cities did Zheng Yu and his team want to address
A．High levels of pollution.
B．Limited access to public services.
C．Shortage of affordable housing.
D．Rising crowding and traffic problems.
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第一句可知，日益拥挤和交通问题是他们想要解决的城市中的主要问题。
√
7．What can be concluded from the text about the AI model's capabilities
A．It can design entire cities efficiently.
B．It takes longer to train for larger urban areas.
C．It can complete tasks much faster than human planners.
D．It is limited to planning only a few square kilometers at a time.
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，人工智能完成任务的速度比人类设计师更快。
√
8．What's the best title for this passage
A．Designing Better Cities with AI
B．The 15- Minute City: A Dream or Reality
C．Improving Public Health with Greener Cities
D．The Role of Machine Learning in Urban Design
解析：标题归纳题。根据第三段并结合下文可知，本文主要介绍的是利用人工智能可以设计出更好的城市。故A项“利用人工智能设计更好的城市”适合作本文标题。

(2025·武汉模拟)Loneliness is a bigger health threat than smoking 15 cigarettes a day, according to a new research.Our ancestors likely did not suffer from a lack of companions.Why has loneliness become such a threat How might it be addressed
精品课件·名师析题
In the distant past, there were few complaints about loneliness.Indeed, every person in a community including children was up to speed on every detail of the lives of everyone else.Instead of suffering from loneliness, our distant ancestors were oppressed (被压迫) by a lack of privacy. ______They facilitate distance.How did loneliness take over contemporary life
9
Typically, people move away from family and friends for work opportunities.Yet, cities often function as gatherings of relative strangers rather than functional communities.The many people wandering around in a city are irrelevant if we have no social connection with them.Migrants to cities may establish various meaningful social links. _____These might be the people we work among, those who frequent a coffee shop, or members of a gym or sports club.Such associations are not made automatically. ____In some cases, those who eagerly need social connection can fare poorly in cities.
10
11
_____According to the US Surgeon General's Report on Loneliness, people who spend more time online are lonelier.People who claim thousands of online “friends” are often chronically anxious, disconnected and depressed.Perhaps, they would gain better social bonus by being kind to people in real life.
12
Virtually, not everyone needs constant companionship.This is not merely a question of how extroverted a person is. ____People with a strong sense of external purpose barely suffer from loneliness, whether they perfect their dance moves, get involved in political activism or train service dogs.In this vein, anyone who cultivates a love of nature may become a part of the natural world.That is an endless source of peace, happiness, and connection.
13
A．Their habits contributed to loneliness.
B．They require openness, initiative and effort.
C．Rather, it reflects how someone leads their life.
D．Outgoing people will live a busy life with social media.
E．Today, social media bring back the invasions of privacy.
F．Many turn to social media for companionship with mixed results.
G．However, associations are often formed through accidental networks.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在现代网络社会，孤独感成为健康杀手，分析了原因并给出了建议。

10．解析：选G 上文说在城市工作可以建立有意义的社会联系，而下文却列举了一些随机组成的社会群体，由此可知，G项“然而，联系往往是通过偶然的网络形成的”承上启下，符合语境。
11．解析：选B 根据上文可知，这些社群并不是自动形成的。B项“它们需要开放、主动和努力”承接上文，符合语境，其中“they”指代上文中“Such associations”。
12．解析：选F 空处为段首句，应概括下文。根据下文可知，本段在讲经常和在线网友交往的人更孤独，建议和现实生活中的朋友真心交往。由此可知，F项“许多人转向社交媒体寻求陪伴，结果好坏参半”符合语境。
13．解析：选C 上文指出，有些人并不需要他人的持续陪伴，性格外向程度是一方面，却不仅限于此，下文列举了一些人的生活方式。故C项“相反，它反映了一个人如何过自己的生活”承上启下，符合语境。

AI and Study
In my opinion, the integration of AI into the academic sphere is a welcome development.
Firstly, AI -powered tools like smart assistants and learning platforms can personalize learning experiences, catering to each student's unique needs and abilities.Secondly, AI's data- driven insights help teachers track progress and identify areas for improvement, enhancing teaching effectiveness.
However, it's crucial to strike a balance, ensuring AI complements rather than replaces human interaction in the learning process.
Overall, AI has the potential to revolutionize education, making it more accessible, efficient, and tailored to individual learners.
课时作业(三) 读后续写讲评训练
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。
[1] One year ago, when we were in the fifth grade, a new classmate named Jack joined us. He was often late for class and had a strange smell on him, which made the girls not want to be “neighbours” with him, let alone sit next to him.
精品课件·名师析题
It is said that once, a naughty boy curiously opened his backpack and many crushed soda cans and empty drink bottles that we usually throw into the trash fell out. Therefore, the boys in our class mocked (嘲笑) him as the “trash king”．
[2] Later, during a class meeting, our teacher, Ms Zhang, told us about his story of using garbage to make inventions. It turns out that Jack is not an ordinary elementary school student, but a “garbage inspired inventor” who has won the City Invention Award.
According to Ms Zhang, most of his inventions were picked up from garbage dumps (堆). During that class meeting, Jack showed us his invention of a“domestic wastewater separation system”．
[3] Afterwards, some of us became deeply interested in these small inventions and started to admire Jack's way of “picking up trash”. We even joined him in picking up trash on weekends and during holidays. From then on, we no longer called him the “trash king”. Instead, we formed a group of five boys and actively searched for usable materials in various garbage dumps around the city. Under Jack's guidance, we learned that there are many uses for seemingly useless trash.
[4] Once, we stayed at school to process the collected materials. Jack mentioned that he was facing a problem with his latest invention — a small cart (手推车) for buying vegetables that needed to be lightweight. All other materials were solved except for the wheels. How could we find a suitable material for the wheels We racked our brains (绞尽脑汁) and came up with different ideas, such as using soda cans or taking off the wheels from suitcases. However, Jack reminded us that our group should focus on making inventions from waste rather than causing damage to create them. We were all deep in thought.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。

[写作构思指导]
一、读文路径(把握结构主旨)
二、思考路径
1．理清故事双线
2．关注伏笔照应
后文提示：第二段段首句明显提示续写第一段中所需要的材料，即bottle caps “瓶盖”和我们小组的行动结果，即a row of bottle caps “大量的瓶盖”。
伏笔1(句①)：暗示续写部分会出现我们小组成员一起寻找发明制作所需要的材料。
伏笔2(句②)：暗示续写部分有提到我们小组在合作、创新与思考方面的进步。
3．构思续写内容(运用“5所”构思)
第一段：
①What was the idea？(所想——接续首句)
②How did I feel and what did I do then？(所感、所做——推进情节)
③How did Jack find my idea？(所感——推进情节)
④What did we do together？(根据原文伏笔1提出问题：所做——衔接下文)
第二段：
⑤How did we feel when seeing our new cart？(所感——接续首句)
⑥What did we do then？(所做——推进情节)
⑦What did we learn from this event？(所感——推进情节)
⑧What did we do after this event？(所做——主旨升华)
[逻辑润色成文]
一、写好两个关键语段
1．请设计“我”与Jack分享“我”的想法的互动场景。
Excited, I shared my idea with the group the next day. Jack's eyes lit up with enthusiasm as he realized the potential of this suggestion.
2．请设计一个合理的结尾。
(感悟式结尾) Inspired by Jack's intelligence, our group continued to explore ways to recycle waste, knowing that small actions could lead to big changes in our community and beyond.
(呼应式结尾) From then on, the nickname “trash king” didn't belong to Jack himself but was owned by us five boys.
二、衔接好，做到逻辑顺畅成文
When I got home and drank a bottle of water, I suddenly had an idea. What if we could use bottle caps as wheels for Jack's vegetable cart？(后文提示) It seemed like a simple solution, but it could work if we found enough bottle caps. Excited, I shared my idea with the group the next day. Jack's eyes lit up with enthusiasm as he realized the potential of this suggestion. We immediately set out to collect as many
bottle caps as we could find, searching not only the garbage dumps but also asking friends and family to save them for us. (动作描写，对应伏笔1)
Jack indeed adopted my suggestion and fixed a row of bottle caps as wheels on his vegetable cart. It was a moment of pleasure for all of us, seeing our collective efforts and creativity pay off. The cart rolled smoothly, and we celebrated our success with cheers and laughter. (动作描写) This experience taught us the power of collaboration, innovation, and looking beyond the surface of things. (对应伏笔2) Inspired by Jack's intelligence, our group continued to explore ways to recycle waste, knowing that small actions could lead to big changes in our community and beyond.选择性必修2 UNIT 4课时作业(二)语言技能综合训练

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。
[1] One year ago, when we were in the fifth grade, a new classmate named Jack joined us. He was often late for class and had a strange smell on him, which made the girls not want to be “neighbours” with him, let alone sit next to him. It is said that once, a naughty boy curiously opened his backpack and many crushed soda cans and empty drink bottles that we usually throw into the trash fell out. Therefore, the boys in our class mocked (嘲笑) him as the “trash king”．
[2] Later, during a class meeting, our teacher, Ms Zhang, told us about his story of using garbage to make inventions. It turns out that Jack is not an ordinary elementary school student, but a “garbage inspired inventor” who has won the City Invention Award. According to Ms Zhang, most of his inventions were picked up from garbage dumps (堆). During that class meeting, Jack showed us his invention of a“domestic wastewater separation system”．
[3] Afterwards, some of us became deeply interested in these small inventions and started to admire Jack's way of “picking up trash”. We even joined him in picking up trash on weekends and during holidays. From then on, we no longer called him the “trash king”. Instead, we formed a group of five boys and actively searched for usable materials in various garbage dumps around the city. Under Jack's guidance, we learned that there are many uses for seemingly useless trash.
[4] Once, we stayed at school to process the collected materials. Jack mentioned that he was facing a problem with his latest invention — a small cart (手推车) for buying vegetables that needed to be lightweight. All other materials were solved except for the wheels. How could we find a suitable material for the wheels We racked our brains (绞尽脑汁) and came up with different ideas, such as using soda cans or taking off the wheels from suitcases. However, Jack reminded us that our group should focus on making inventions from waste rather than causing damage to create them. We were all deep in thought.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2025·平凉模拟)Last Friday, a special concert took place at the National Theater of Korea.It included five different pieces of music.Two were conducted by a robot called EveR 6, and two were conducted by Soo Yeoul Choi, who leads the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra.Both conductors worked together on the final piece.
EveR 6 is a robot built by the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology.It's about as tall as a person, and has a human like face that can show emotions.It has joints in its neck, shoulders, elbows, and wrists.As a result, it can move its arms quickly and smoothly in many different directions.
But EveR 6 doesn't think on its own like some advanced Artificial Intelligence programs.Instead, it has a limited group of movements that it has been trained to perform.To make these movements as natural as possible, EveR 6's movements are based on motions of real human conductors.When EveR 6 swung its baton for the first time, a gong rang out.Every movement of the robot's arms brought more instruments into the mix, and the orchestra's music grew louder and more exciting.
Mr Choi was impressed with the way EveR 6 moved.“The robot was able to present such detailed moves much better than I had imagined，”he said.But the robot still is not nearly ready to replace a human conductor.Mr Choi says the robot's greatest weakness is that it can't hear.“Some people think that conducting is just a combination of hand waving and keeping the beat，”says Mr Choi.But a good conductor needs to listen to the orchestra, so that he or she can correct and encourage the orchestra as it plays.
Mr Choi said that once EveR 6 started，“the musicians had no choice but to follow its beats.” He said this created a situation where “the performers have to communicate and ‘sense’ each other to follow the correct beats.”
Mr Choi doesn't think robots are likely to replace human conductors.But he believes robots could be helpful in situations like practice sessions where the same thing needs to be repeated many times.
1．What is the main disadvantage of EveR 6
A．It cannot keep the beat steady.
B．Its movements are not so natural.
C．It cannot show emotions like humans.
D．It lacks the ability of thinking independently.
2．What did Mr Choi mean by saying that“the musicians had no choice but to follow its beats”？
A．The robot is programmed with correct beats.
B．The musicians are not allowed to communicate.
C．The robot is trained to be strict with the performers.
D．The robot cannot interact with the musicians.
3．What is Mr Choi's attitude toward EveR 6
A．Negative. B．Objective.
C．Subjective. D．Indifferent.
4．Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage
A．Robot EveR 6 conducts an orchestra
B．A competition between human and robot
C．The power of AI robot technology
D．Revive orchestral performances in Korea

(2025·郴州模拟)Imagine living in a cool, green city alive with parks and threaded with footpaths, bike lanes and buses which transport people to shops, schools and service centers in a matter of minutes.
This fancy dream is behind the idea of the 15 minute city, where all basic needs and services are within a quarter of an hour's reach, improving public health and lowering vehicle emissions.
Artificial intelligence could help urban planners realize that vision faster, with a new study from researchers at Tsinghua University in China demonstrating how machine learning can generate more efficient spatial layouts (空间布局) than humans can.
Automation scientist Zheng Yu and his colleagues wanted to find new solutions to improve our cities which are fast becoming blocked.They developed an AI system to tackle the tough tasks of urban planning and found it can produce urban plans that outperform human designs by about 50 percent in three aspects: access to services, green spaces and traffic levels.
Starting small, Zheng's team tasked their model with designing the urban area only a few square kilometers in size (about 3×3 blocks)．After two days of training, the AI system searched for the ideal road designs and land use to fit with the concept of the 15 minute city and local planning policies and needs.
While the AI model has some capabilities that could extend its use for planning larger urban areas, designing entire cities will be more complex.Drafting a neighborhood consisting of 4×4 blocks contains twice as many planning decisions as designing 3×3 blocks, the researchers said.But automating even a few steps in the planning process can save huge amounts of time: the AI model can compute in seconds certain tasks that take human planners between 50 to 100 minutes to work through.
Rather than AI replacing people, Zheng and his colleagues think their AI system can work as an“assistant” to urban planners, who could generate concept designs optimized (优化) by the system, and reviewed, adjusted and evaluated by human experts based on community feedback.
5．According to the text, which of the following is NOT a benefit of the “15 minute city” concept
A．Better public health.
B．Lower vehicle emissions.
C．Decreased access to green spaces.
D．Fast and convenient service.
6．Which major issue in cities did Zheng Yu and his team want to address
A．High levels of pollution.
B．Limited access to public services.
C．Shortage of affordable housing.
D．Rising crowding and traffic problems.
7．What can be concluded from the text about the AI model's capabilities
A．It can design entire cities efficiently.
B．It takes longer to train for larger urban areas.
C．It can complete tasks much faster than human planners.
D．It is limited to planning only a few square kilometers at a time.
8．What's the best title for this passage
A．Designing Better Cities with AI
B．The 15 Minute City: A Dream or Reality
C．Improving Public Health with Greener Cities
D．The Role of Machine Learning in Urban Design

(2025·武汉模拟)Loneliness is a bigger health threat than smoking 15 cigarettes a day, according to a new research.Our ancestors likely did not suffer from a lack of companions.Why has loneliness become such a threat How might it be addressed
In the distant past, there were few complaints about loneliness.Indeed, every person in a community including children was up to speed on every detail of the lives of everyone else.Instead of suffering from loneliness, our distant ancestors were oppressed (被压迫) by a lack of privacy.__9__ They facilitate distance.How did loneliness take over contemporary life
Typically, people move away from family and friends for work opportunities.Yet, cities often function as gatherings of relative strangers rather than functional communities.The many people wandering around in a city are irrelevant if we have no social connection with them.Migrants to cities may establish various meaningful social links.__10__ These might be the people we work among, those who frequent a coffee shop, or members of a gym or sports club.Such associations are not made automatically.__11__ In some cases, those who eagerly need social connection can fare poorly in cities.
__12__ According to the US Surgeon General's Report on Loneliness, people who spend more time online are lonelier.People who claim thousands of online “friends” are often chronically anxious, disconnected and depressed.Perhaps, they would gain better social bonus by being kind to people in real life.
Virtually, not everyone needs constant companionship.This is not merely a question of how extroverted a person is.__13__ People with a strong sense of external purpose barely suffer from loneliness, whether they perfect their dance moves, get involved in political activism or train service dogs.In this vein, anyone who cultivates a love of nature may become a part of the natural world.That is an endless source of peace, happiness, and connection.
A．Their habits contributed to loneliness.
B．They require openness, initiative and effort.
C．Rather, it reflects how someone leads their life.
D．Outgoing people will live a busy life with social media.
E．Today, social media bring back the invasions of privacy.
F．Many turn to social media for companionship with mixed results.
G．However, associations are often formed through accidental networks.
