The wrd immersive indicates a deep cmmitment f intentins which cnnect images and sunds in a way that the audience is able t experience a different way f the art.(沉浸式艺术不仅仅是在巨大空间中表现视频和音频的技术方法。沉浸式这个词表明了一种深刻的意图,通过将图像和声音连接起来,让观众能够体验到一种不同的艺术方式)”以及第三段“True t its name, this exhibitin transfrms the icnic paintings f Vincent van Ggh int mving, wall-filling prjectins. “Immersive Van Ggh” prmises half-a-millin cubic feet f prjectins that pull frm sme f the pst-impressinist’s mst recgnizable pieces, including The Bedrm, Sunflwers and, yes, The Starry Night.(正如它的名字一样,这次展览将文森特·梵高的标志性画作变成了移动的、充满墙壁的投影。Immersive Van Ggh承诺将使用50万立方英尺的投影,呈现出印象派最著名的作品,包括《卧室》《向日葵》,没错,还有《星夜》)”可知,沉浸式艺术是一种将图像和声音连接起来的新型艺术形式。本次梵高绘画展演就是要通过沉浸式艺术展现。由此推知,本次展演将通过一种新的方式呈现。故选A。
【27题详解】

Neurtech—new, ptentially revlutinary technlgy—prmises t transfrm ur lives. With all the glbal challenges f tday, we need revlutinary technlgy t help the wrld cpe.
There are different types f neurtech sme are invasive, sme are nt. Invasive brain-cmputer interfaces invlve placing micrelectrdes r ther kinds f neurtech materials directly nt the brain r even embedding them int the neural tissue. Such technlgy has already imprved the quality f life and abilities f peple with different illnesses r impairments, frm epilepsy t Parkinsn's Disease t chrnic pain.
There is als nninvasive neurtech that can be used fr similar applicatins. Fr example, researchers have develped wearables t infer a persn's intended speech r mvement. These are already quite impressive, but there is als neurlech that really pushes the envelpe. Nt nly can it sense r read neurdata but it can als mdulate (调节)—invasively and nninvasively. This research is still in early stages, but it's advancing rapidly.
As neurtech becmes mre cmmnplace, we must cnsider the risks it might present, the mrals arund it, and the necessary regulatin. We have t anticipate and deal with the implicatins related t the develpment and use f this technlgy. Any neurtech applicatins shuld cnsider ptential cnsequences fr the autnmy, privacy, respnsibility, cnsent, integrity and dignity f a persn.
What if smene were t face emplyment discriminatin because the algrithms (算法) that pwer a neurtech applicatin used fr hiring misinterpret his r her neurdata? What if a criminal gets a hld f the previus r current neurdata f the secretary f defense and steals tp secret infrmatin? Cncerns increase when we are nt just mnitring smene's neurdata but als interpreting it, decding the persn's thughts- with implicatins fr accuracy and mental privacy.
One tricky aspect is that mst f the neurdata generated by the nervus systems is uncnscius. It means it is very pssible t unknwingly r unintentinally prvide neurtech with infrmatin that ne therwise wuldn't. S, in sme applicatins f neurtech, the presumptin f privacy within ne's wn mind may simply n lnger be a certainty.
As new, emerging technlgy, neurtech challenges crpratins, researchers and individuals t reaffirm ur
cmmitment t respnsible innvatin, it's essential t enfrce guardrails (防护措施) s that they lead t beneficial lng-term utcmes—n cmpany, natinal and interactinal levels. We need t ensure that researchers and manufacturers f neurtech as well as plicymakers and cnsumers apprach it respnsibly. Let's act nw t avid any future risks as neurtech matures—fr the benefit f humanity.
32. The first tw paragraphs mainly ________.
A. stress the riginality f neurtech
B. cmpare the functins f neurtech
C. prve the effectiveness f neurtech
D. intrduce the develpment f neurtech
33. What can be inferred frm the passage?
A. Nninvasive neurtech is much better than invasive ne.
B. Messages within ne's mind can be safer with neurtech.
C. Having neurdata analyzed brings abut risks t privacy.
D. Prper rules have already been set t deal with neurdata.
34. Accrding t the passage, cmpanies, plicy makers and cnsumers shuld ________.
A. use neurtechnlgy in a respnsible way
B. avid neurtech fr the benefit f mankind
C. interpret all neurdata t imprve accuracy
D. help develp mre nninvasive applicatins
35. Which f the fllwing wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Neurtech Has Lng-term Benefits
B. Neurtech Meets Mral Challenges
C. Neurtech Becmes Cmmnplace
D. Neurtech Transfrms Human Lives

“If I nly had a little humility, I’d be perfect,” the media giant Ted Turner suppsedly said smetime in the1990s. Why be mdest? Aristtle said: “All men by nature desire t knw.” Intellectual humility is a particular instance f humility, since yu can be dwn-t-earth abut mst things but still ignre yur mental limitatins.
Intellectual humility means recgnising that we dn’t knw everything. Actually, it means we shuld acknwledge that we’re prbably biased in ur belief abut just hw much we understand and seek ut the surces f wisdm that we lack.
The Internet and digital media have created the impressin f limitless knwledge at ur fingertips. But, by making us lazy, they have pened up a space that ignrance can fill. The psychlgist Tania Lmbrz f the University f Califrnia explained hw technlgy enhances ur illusins (错觉) f wisdm. She argues that the way we access infrmatin is critical t ur understanding—and the mre easily we can recall an image, wrd r statement, the mre likely we’ll think we’ve successfully learned it, and s withdraw frm effrtful cgnitive prcessing. Lgical puzzles presented in an unfriendly fnt (字体), fr example, can encurage smene t make extra effrt t slve them. Yet this apprach runs cunter t the nice designs f the apps and sites that ppulate ur screens, where ur brain prcesses infrmatin in a “smth” way.
What abut all the infrmatin that presents nline? Well, yur capacity t learn frm it depends n yur attitudes. Intellectually humble peple dn’t hide r ignre their weaknesses. In fact, they see them as surces f persnal develpment, and use arguments as an pprtunity t refine their views. Peple wh are humble by nature tend t be mre pen-minded and quicker t reslve disputes, since they recgnise that their wn pinins might nt be valid.
At the ther end f the scale lies intellectual arrgance. Such arrgance almst always riginates frm the egcentric bias—the tendency t verestimate their wn virtue r imprtance, ignring the rle f chance r the influence f ther peple’s actins n their lives. This is what makes these peple credit success t themselves and failure t circumstance. Frm an evlutinary perspective, intellectual arrgance can als be seen as a way f achieving dminance thrugh frcing ne’s view n thers. Intellectually arrgant peple hardly invest mental resurces in discussin r wrking twards grup cnsensus, thus making it hard fr grups t wrk successfully.
The Thrive Center fr Human Develpment in Califrnia, which seeks t help yung peple turn int successful adults, is funding a series f majr studies abut intellectual humility. Their hypthesis is that humility, curisity and penness are key t a fulfilling life. “Withut humility, yu are unable t learn,” Laszl Bck, Ggle’s Head f Peple Operatins, ntes.
36. The passage is mainly abut ___________.
A. the harm arrgance des t usB. the key elements t a fulfilling life
C. the significance f intellectual humilityD. the way peple access infrmatin nline
37. Technlgy enhances ur illusins f wisdm because it ___________.
A. enables peple t think criticallyB. ffers t much unreliable infrmatin
C. allws easy access t abundant infrmatinD. makes it hard fr peple t recall infrmatin
38. Accrding t Para.4, intellectually humble peple ___________.
A. prefer t slve difficult prblemsB. are unwilling t shw their strengths
C. value thers’ pinins mre than their wnD. use nline infrmatin t better themselves

Optimism Bias (偏见)
While we ften like t think f urselves as highly ratinal and lgical, researchers have fund that the human brain is smetimes t ptimistic fr its wn gd. If yu were asked t estimate hw likely yu are t experience illness, jb lss, r an accident, yu are likely t underestimate the prbability that such events will ever impact yur life. ___40___
This bias leads us t believe that we are less likely t suffer frm misfrtune and mre likely t attain success than reality wuld suggest. We believe that we will live lnger, and that we will be mre successful in life than the average. ___41___
The ptimism bias is essentially a mistaken belief that ur chances f experiencing negative events are lwer and ur chances f experiencing psitive events are higher than thse f ur peers. And this verly psitive assumptin desn’t mean that we have an verly sunny utlk n ur wn lives. ___42___ Peple might skip their yearly physical, nt wear their seatbelt, r fail t put n sunscreen because they mistakenly believe that they are less likely t get sick, get in an accident, r get skin cancer.
Cgnitive neurscientist Tali Shart, authr f The Optimism Bias: A Tur f the Irratinally Psitive Brain, ntes that this bias is widespread and can be seen in cultures all ver the wrld. Shart als suggests that while this ptimism bias can at times lead t negative utcmes like flishly engaging in risky behavirs r making pr chices abut yur health, it can als have its benefits. ___43___ If we expect gd things t happen, we are mre likely t be happy. This ptimism can act as a self-fulfilling prphecy. By believing that we will be successful, peple are in fact mre likely t be successful.
___44___ After all, if we didn’t believe that we culd achieve success, why wuld we even bther trying? Optimists are als mre likely t take measures t prtect their health such as exercising, taking vitamins, and fllwing a nutritius diet.
A. Optimism als mtivates us t pursue ur gals.
B. But we are als highly mtivated t be s ptimistic.
C. But definitely nt everyne is blessed with such luck.
D. This is because yur brain has a built-in ptimism bias.
E. It can als lead t pr decisin-making, which can smetimes have disastrus results.
F. This ptimism enhances well-being by creating a sense f anticipatin abut the future.
G. Varius causes may lead t the ptimistic bias, including cgnitive and mtivatinal factrs.
【答案】40. D 41. C 42. E 43. F 44. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕着乐观偏见展开,介绍了什么是乐观偏见以及乐观偏见的优缺点。
【40题详解】
根据上文While we ften like t think f urselves as highly ratinal and lgical, researchers have fund that the human brain is smetimes t ptimistic fr its wn gd. If yu were asked t estimate hw likely yu are t experience illness, jb lss, r an accident, yu are likely t underestimate the prbability that such events will ever impact yur life.可知虽然我们通常认为自己是高度理性和逻辑性的,但研究人员发现,人类大脑有时过于乐观,不利于自身的健康。 如果你被要求估计你经历疾病、失业或事故的可能性,你可能会低估这些事件影响你生活的可能性。由此可知,本句承接上文,解释说明产生上述这种现象的原因。故D选项“这是因为你的大脑有一种内在的乐观偏见”符合上下文语境,故选D。
【41题详解】
根据上文We believe that we will live lnger, and that we will be mre successful in life than the average.可知我们相信我们会活得更久,我们会比一般人更成功。由此可知,乐观偏见会让我们认为我们比其他人更幸运,本句则应当是表明不是每个人都这么幸运,与下文介绍乐观偏见的误区紧密联系。故C选项“但肯定不是每个人都有这样的运气”符合上下文语境,故选C。
【42题详解】
根据后文Peple might skip their yearly physical, nt wear their seatbelt, r fail t put n sunscreen because they mistakenly believe that they are less likely t get sick, get in an accident, r get skin cancer.可知人们可能会跳过每年一次的体检,不系安全带,或者不涂防晒霜,因为他们错误地认为自己不太可能生病、出事故或得皮肤癌。由此可知,下文提到的不去体检,不系安全带以及不涂防晒霜就是乐观偏见导致的决策失误以及带来的一系列后果,故E选项“它还会导致错误的决策,有时会导致灾难性的结果”符合上下文语境,故选E。
【43题详解】
根据后文If we expect gd things t happen, we are mre likely t be happy. This ptimism can act as a self-fulfilling prphecy.可知如果我们期待好事发生,我们就更有可能快乐。这种乐观可以作为一种自我实现的预言。由此可知,上文已经从乐观偏见带来的弊端转到好处,那么本句则是具体解释了乐观偏见带来的好处。故F选项“这种乐观主义通过创造一种对未来的期待来增强幸福感”符合上下文语境,故选F。
【44题详解】
根据后文After all, if we didn’t believe that we culd achieve success, why wuld we even bther trying?可知毕竟,如果我们不相信我们能成功,我们为什么还要去尝试呢?由此可知,首先要有一个乐观的心态,认为自己能够成功,才有信心去尝试。本段是在说明乐观会激励人们追求目标。故A选项“乐观也会激励我们追求目标”符合上下文语境,故选A。

第一节 阅读表达(共4小题;第45、46 小题各2分,第47小题3分,第48小题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求回答问题。
The increase in nline educatin has allwed a new type f teacher t emerge—an artificial ne. But just hw accepting students are f an artificial instructr remains t be seen. That’s why researchers at the University f Central Flrida’s Nichlsn Schl f Cmmunicatin and Media are wrking t examine student perceptins f AI-based teachers. Sme f their findings, published recently in the Internatinal Jurnal f Human-Cmputer Interactin, indicate that fr students t accept an AI teaching assistant, it needs t be effective and easy t talk t.
Accrding t Jihyun Kim, the lead authr f the study, the hpe is that by understanding hw students relate t Al-teachers, engineers and cmputer scientists can design them t easily integrate int the educatin experience.
“T use machine teachers effectively, we need t understand students’ views n machine teachers, their learning experiences with them and mre,” Kim says. “This line f research is needed t design effective machine teachers that can actually facilitate psitive learning experiences.”
AI teaching assistants can help ease a teacher's wrklad, such as by respnding t cmmnly asked questins by students. These questins, which ften appear each semester and becme numerus in nline classes with hundreds f students, can becme a large task fr a teacher. The quick delivery f answers als helps students.
An example f an AI teaching assistant is ne named Jill Watsn that was created by a researcher at the Gergia Institute f Technlgy. Jill was fed the thusands f questins and answers cmmnly asked in the researcher’s nline class that he’d taught ver the years. With sme additinal learning and adjustments, Jill was eventually able t answer the students’ cmmnly asked questins accurately withut any human assistance as if she was ne f the researcher’s human teaching assistants.
“I hpe ur research findings help us find an effective way t incrprate AI agents int educatin,” Kim says. “By adpting an AI agent as an assistant fr a simple and repetitive task, teachers wuld be able t have mre things scheduled such as meeting with students and develping teaching strategies.”
45. What kind f AI teaching assistants can students easily accept?
46. What d researchers need t d t design effective AI teaching assistants?
47. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
With the help f Al-based teaching assistants, human teachers can nt nly be relieved frm heavy wrk but als have mre time t answer cmmnly asked questins by students.
48. Explain hw AI technlgy can be used in a different field in ur life. (abut 40 wrds)
【答案】45. Ones that are effective and easy t talk t.
46. They need t understand students' views n machine teachers, their learning experiences with them and mre.
47. Accrding t the passage, it is the AI-based teaching assistants rather than teachers that can answer cmmnly asked questins by students.
48. AI is widely used in the field f transprtatin. Using AI, the navigatin systems in cars and n cellphnes are able t recmmend the best rutes based n real time traffic data. Als, AI can be used t make self-driving vehicles mre cnvenient and much safer.
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员通过调查设计出有效的机器教师,将人工智能融入教育。

【46题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段该研究的主要作者Kim说的话“T use machine teachers effectively, we need t understand students’ views n machine teachers, their learning experiences with them and mre(为了有效地使用机器教师,我们需要了解学生对机器教师的看法,他们与机器教师的学习经验,以及更多)”可知,研究人员需要了解学生对机器教师的看法,他们的学习经验和更多才能设计出有效的人工智能教学助手。故答案为:They need t understand students' views n machine teachers, their learning experiences with them and mre.
【47题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第五段“AI teaching assistants can help ease a teacher's wrklad, such as by respnding t cmmnly asked questins by students.(人工智能助教可以帮助减轻老师的工作量,比如回答学生常见的问题。)”可知,可以回答学生常见问题的是基于人工智能的教学助手,而不是教师。故答案为:
Accrding t the passage, it is the AI-based teaching assistants rather than teachers that can answer cmmnly asked questins by students.
【48题详解】
