And sometimes I simply like to look at them. Right now, my passport is so full of stamps it is in danger of filling up. However, there is a fair chance that this won’t happen—not because I have any intention of ceasing my travels, but because most countries are moving on from the era of physical stamps. In future our comings and goings will be monitored digitally—and speedily.This will, of course, be great for shortening airport queues, but it also means we will kiss goodbye to the romance of the exotic (奇异的) stamp, that reminder of the time we crossed from, say, Chile to Bolivia via the Andes and the salt plains. Or that first time we landed in the USA and got one of the simplest stamps of all. The border officer smiled as he stamped my passport and said: “Welcome to America.”In my decades of travel, I have acquired some seriously—to my mind—exotic and wonderful stamps: Armenia, Madagascar, Greenland. Some of the smallest countries demand entire pages of your passport—looking at you, Cambodia.Then there are the special stamps to truly remote destinations. My personal favourite is probably the one I got going into the Republic of Mount Athos in northern Greece. It was magnificently beautiful: the double-headed eagle of Byzantium, returned to life and impressed on my passport pages.It was certainly more cheerful than the stamp I once got from the British embassy in Bangkok, which arranged for my return to the UK from Thailand after I really misbehaved. That stamp said “Impound (扣留) Passport on Arrival in London”. And so they did.Yet I miss that stamp too.4. What does the author think of the shift from physical stamps to digital records?A. Convenient but romance-reducing. B. Eco-friendly but culture-erasing.C. Modern but artistically inferior. D. Cost-efficient but emotionally hurtful.5. What does the underlined word “you” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. Readers. B. Pages. C. Cambodia. D. Stamps.6. Why does the author mention the Bangkok stamp?A. To exhibit the extent of his global travels.B. To present a less positive travel experience.C. To highlight his attachment to all his stamps.D. To reflect on his misbehavior and its consequences.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. My Favorite Passport StampsB. The Beauty of Passport StampsC. Digital Progress: Passport Stamps at RiskD. Passport Stamps: Bridging Borders and CulturesCThere’s a useful concept from psychology that helps explain why good people do things that harm the environment: the false consensus effect. That’s where we overvalue how acceptable and prevalent (普遍的) our own behavior is in society. Put simply, if you’re doing something (even if you secretly know you probably shouldn’t), you’re more likely to think plenty of other people do it too. What’s more, you likely overestimate how much other people think that behavior is broadly OK.This bias (偏见) allows people to justify socially unacceptable or illegal behaviors. Researchers have observed the false consensus effect in drug use and illegal hunting. More recently, conservationists are beginning to reveal how this effect contributes to environmental damage.In Australia, people who admitted to poaching thought it was much more prevalent in society than it really was, and had higher estimates than fishers who obeyed the law. They also believed others viewed poaching as socially acceptable; however, in reality, more than 90% of fishers held the opposite view. The false consensus effect has also shown up in studies examining support for nuclear energy and offshore wind farms.Just as concepts from psychology can help explain some forms of environmental damage, so too can they help address it. For example, research shows people are more likely to litter in areas where there’s already a lot of trash scattered around; so making sure the ground around a bin is not covered in rubbish may help.Factual information on how other people think and behave can be very powerful. Energy companies have substantially reduced energy consumption simply by showing people how their electricity use compares to their neighbors. Encouragingly, stimulating people’s natural desire for status has also been successful in getting people to “go green to be seen”, or to publicly buy eco-friendly products.As the research evidence shows, social norms can be a powerful force in encouraging and popularizing environmentally friendly behaviors. Perhaps you can do your bit by sharing this article!8. Which example best illustrates the false consensus effect?A. A student spends long hours surfing the Internet.B. A blogger assumes many people dislike his posts.C. A driver frequently parks illegally in public places.D. A smoker believes people generally approve of smoking.9. How did most Australian fishers view the issue of poaching?A. It is unacceptable. B. It is widespread.C. It is controversial. D. It is complex.10. What do the underlined words “go green to be seen” in paragraph 5 mean?A. Embrace green habits for better health.B. Make green choices that others can perceive.C. Join green movements for personal fulfillment.D. Choose green items that are easy to spot in stores.11. What is a recommended approach to addressing environmental problems?A. Downplay social norms. B. Highlight personal responsibilities.C. Publicize sustainable practices. D. Encourage technological innovations.DA study conducted by Cornell University examined how the use of AI in conversations impacts the way people express themselves and view each other.The researchers have found people have more efficient conversations, use more positive language and perceive each other more positively when using an Al-enabled chat tool.However, the group also found that when participants think their partner is using more AI-suggested responses, they consider that partner as less cooperative.“I was surprised to find people tend to evaluate you more negatively simply because they suspect you’ re using AI to help compose text, regardless of whether you actually are,” said Jess Hohenstein, the lead researcher. “This illustrates the continuous overall doubt that people seem to have around AI.”For their first experiment, participants were asked to talk about a policy issue and assigned to one of three conditions: both participants can use smart replies; only one participant can use smart replies; or neither participant can use smart replies. Researchers found that using smart replies increased communication efficiency, positive emotional language and positive evaluations by communication partners. On average, smart replies accounted for 14.3% of sent messages.But participants who their partners suspected of responding with smart replies were evaluated more negatively than those who were thought to have typed their own responses consistent with common assumptions about the negative implications of AI.“While Al might be able to help you write,” Hohenstein said, “it’s altering your language in ways you might not expect, especially by making you sound more positive. This suggests that by using text-generating Al, you’re giving up some of your own personal voice.”Malte Jung, an associate professor, said, “What we observe in this study is the impact that Al has on social dynamics and some of the unintended consequences that could result from integrating AI in social contexts. This suggests that whoever controls the algorithm(算法) may have influence on people’s interactions, language and insights into each other.”12 What is the text mainly about?A. Methods of using AI in conversations.B. Efficiency of using AI in conversations.C. Convenience of using AI in conversations.D. Impacts of using AI in conversations.13. How do the researchers draw their conclusion?A. By analyzing figures. B. By making use of AI.C. By making experiments. D. By completing questionnaires.14. Which statement does Hohenstein agree with?A. Al always expresses in ways you expect.B. Algorithm will never influence people’s insights.C. Trust can be affected by using AI in conversation.D. You will regain your voice by using AI in conversation.15. How will a person feel about suspecting his partner’s using smart replies?A. Nervous. B. Uncomfortable. C. Excited. D. Puzzled.第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）根据短文内容，从其后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项。Up to 80% of premature heart disease can be prevented by making specific lifestyle choices.

After trying for the third time, Alexis shook her head sadly. There was no way she would win the Golden Potato again because Grandpa wasn’t here this year.Memories of how Grandpa taught her to make potato rose in her mind. She sighed and missed Grandpa so much.Alexis cut the potatoes and mixed the boiled potatoes, some sauces and a little salt and peppers in a bowl. But it didn’t taste right. Alexis tried a bite of the salad mixture, wondering what was missing. Seeing her frown, Mom suggested, “What about something spicy? Your Grandpa loved spicy things.”“You’re right! Maybe he put a jalapeno pepper in it,” Alexis said, cutting up a bright green jalapeno and adding it to the bowl.It was closer, but it still didn’t taste right. Alexis was drooping her head, disappointed. “Should we look in a cookbook?”“Grandpa was never one to follow a recipe,” Dad entered the kitchen and said.It was true. People loved Grandpa’s potato salad because it was one of a kind. Alexis remembered posing with Grandpa for a photo while they were making the salad.Photo! That gave her an idea. Alexis hurried to the bookcase and found an old photo album. She immediately flipped it open, expecting to find clues in the photos there. Lots of photos showed Grandpa and Grandma cooking together. Dad laughed, “He and Grandma loved to tease each other but he always called her Honey.”“Do you think he put honey in the potato salad?” Mum asked.“It is worth a try,” said Alexis. She stirred some honey into the bowl.But it still wasn’t quite right. Alexis’ heart sank, on the verge of giving up. Dad kept flipping the album. At the end of the album was the picture of Grandpa and Alexis making the salad together.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。It looked like Grandpa was crying in the photo._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________With hesitation, the family tasted the potato salad with onions in it._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
