Are we abut t use Gene Editing Technlgy t grw wings？Will we all be uplading ur brains t the Amazn clud？If yu lve science and engineering，sci-fi is the place yu turn t t imagine the answers.The prblem is that many peple are getting the wrng messages frm these visins f tmrrw.
There are tw main ways that peple misread sci-fi.Let's start with the simpler ne，knwn as the Trment Nexus Prblem.Cined in a 2021 tweet，it refers t a situatin in which peple read r watch a sci-fi stry but fcus n its futuristic tech—which，in the riginal stries，is ften the very surce f human suffering—rather than the stry's actual pint.As a result，yu get billinaire Peter Thiel c-funding a cmpany called Palantir，named after the fantasy tech f the"seeing stnes"in The Lrd f the Rings that drive their users t evil and madness.Palantir's prducts have recently been used in airstrikes n Gaza.The authr wuld nt be amused.
The secnd majr way peple misread science fictin culd be called the Blueprint Prblem.Essentially，it's the mistaken idea that sci-fi prvides an exact mdel fr what is cming next and if we cpy what happens in sci-fi，we will arrive in a glrius future.The Blueprint Prblem inspired a lt f early space prgrammes in the 1950s，which priritised putting humans int space rather than explring it remtely with rbtic spacecraft.We were tld AI wuld becme ur bedient servants and brilliant experts in s much sci-fi ver the past century，making rbcps and hlgraphic（全息的） dctrs seem inevitable—but they aren't.
Science fictin isn't a map r a prescriptin.Instead，it is a wrld view，a way f appraching prblems with the underlying assumptin that things dn't have t be the way they are.The future isn't predetermined；it's a prcess，and peple are actively shaping it.
4.The mentin f"Palantir"serves t shw that ______ .
A. Tlkien's wrk has inspired real-wrld evil
B. name-chsing is vital fr a cmpany's image
C. sci-fi serves as a practical guide fr inventrs
D. the sci-fi stry's true message ften ges unnticed
5.What is the"Blueprint Prblem"as described in paragraph 3？ ______
A. Having rbts take ver human jbs.
B. Viewing sci-fi as a perfect future mdel.
C. Expecting authrs t engineer real tech.
D. Favring rbts ver astrnauts in space.
6.What des the authr imply in the last paragraph？ ______
A. Sci-fi expses the essence f things.
B. Sci-fi is a rigid guide fr future planning.
C. Sci-fi is a mindset fr re-examining reality.
D. Sci-fi predicts specific technlgical utcmes.
7.What can be a suitable title fr the passage？ ______
A. The Misreading Traps f Sci-Fi
B. The Hidden Dangers f Sci-Fi
C. The Mral Dilemmas in Sci-Fi
D. The Technlgical Fantasies f Sci-Fi

The list f ptential victims f artificial intelligence is lng.It includes every business，all sftware engineers，privacy and humanity itself.But sme f its expected effects are mre ppular than thers.Mst peple can agree，fr example，that AI will be ding wrkers a great favur if it gets rid f grunt wrk，the srt f repetitive tasks that take up t much f everyne's days.Filling ut expense claims，cpying and pasting things int spreadsheets，trying t resize ne f thse stupid bxes in PwerPint—if peple were able t leave this grunt wrk t machines，they culd devte mre attentin t higher-value tasks.
Yet there is a case fr keeping sme f this grunt wrk.Repetitive tasks are nt just mindless busywrk.They can be a frm f mental training，a way t build fcus and discipline.They als prvide a sense f small，regular wins that keep spirits high.Mrever，ding grunt wrk teaches yu the nuts and blts f a jb，which make the whle system wrk smthly.Skipping these steps can lead t ignrance f hw things actually functin，leaving yu ill-equipped t slve real prblems when they arise.
Cnsider a yung dctr wh skips taking patient histries t fcus n high-tech diagnstics.They may miss hidden clues that nly emerge frm rutine questining.A sftware engineer wh never debugs cde by hand will struggle t understand why a prgram fails.A manager wh fflads all administrative wrk will lse the hands-n insight required fr gd decisins.Grunt wrk is nt a waste f time；it is an investment in cmpetence.
Of curse，nt all grunt wrk is wrth preserving.AI shuld eliminate the mst sul-crushing，mind-numbing tasks that ffer n learning value.But the line between useless busywrk and valuable fundatinal practice is ften unclear.The best apprach is t use AI as a tl t reduce，nt eliminate，grunt wrk.Let machines handle the wrst f it，and keep the rest fr humans t learn，grw，and stay grunded in the reality f their wrk.
8.Which is an example f grunt wrk？______
A. Designing a new sftware.B. Decding a prgram failure.
C. Reading patient histries.D. Making an innvative PwerPint.
9.What des the underlined phrase ‌"nuts and blts" mean in paragraph 2？______
A. FeaturesB. FundamentalsC. DetailsD. Rutines
10.Which f the fllwing statements might the authr agree with？______
A. AI shuld take ver all grunt wrk in the wrkplace.
B. Prper grunt wrk helps imprve basic wrking abilities.
C. Grunt wrk is meaningless and a waste f time and energy.
D. AI can't really help handle repetitive daily wrk efficiently.
11.What might be the title f the passage？______
A. Farewell，grunt wrk.B. Hell，grunt wrk.
C. In place f grunt wrk.D. In praise f grunt wrk.

Can music help yu cncentrate at wrk？Researchers frm the University f Wales Institute in Cardiff cnducted a new study，and it has sme interesting results.
The research examined the ability f 25 peple，aged 18 t 30，t remember infrmatin while listening t varius sunds.In ne task they had t remember a list f eight cnsnant （辅音） letters，which were dictated t them.
Participants in the study were tested under three different cnditins：in a quiet envirnment，while listening t music they liked，and while listening t music they didn't like.The participants generally did better when they were wrking in silence.The backgrund music seemed t make memrizatin and recall mre difficult.Hwever，scientists als fund that listening t music befre ding the tests seemed t help cncentratin.
"Despite describing their self-selected music as mre pleasant，their perfrmance was pr，just as it was when they listened t music they disliked，" explained ne f the researchers.S，even if yu're listening t music yu like，it'll still interfere with yur wrk.
This wuld appear t cntradict the findings f scientists wh have researched what is ppularly knwn as the "Mzart Effect".This cncept was invented by French scientist Dr.Alfred A.Tmatis in 1991.Tmatis published a bk，Why Mzart？，which described what he believed were the healing pwers f listening t Mzart's music.
He als suggested that Mzart's music culd aid brain develpment.Later studies indicated it might enhance children's spatial intelligence，leading t a widespread belief that classical music culd bst a child's IQ.The gvernr f the state f Gergia even nce advcated allcating ver ＄ 100，000 annually t supply classical CDs t every newbrn in the state.
Anther study seemed t further cntradict the idea that music culd help with cncentratin.The researchers fund that surveyed university students mstly preferred studying in silence.Thse listening t music preferred instrumental sngs，saying that lyrics are distracting.
S，if yu're studying fr an exam，turn ff yur music!
12.What is the main purpse f the passage？______
A. T prve that Mzart's music bsts IQ.
B. T recmmend the best music fr studying.
C. T cmpare different types f backgrund sunds.
D. T indicate that silence is better fr cncentratin than music.
13.What can be inferred abut the "Mzart Effect"？______
A. It nly wrks fr children under 18.
B. It was first discvered by a gvernr.
C. It may have been verestimated by the public.
D. It has been prven t enhance adult intelligence.
14.The underlined wrd "distracting" in paragraph 7 is clsest in meaning t ______ .
A. disturbingB. favrableC. remarkableD. discuraging
15.What des the authr imply abut backgrund music？______

（3）______ In the days that fllwed，he culdn't shake the guilt.He replayed the drive endlessly in his mind，and gradually，a different truth emerged：he had been tired，he'd taken a shrtcut that he knew was prly lit，and he had been checking a text message just mments befre.（4）______ In the end，he psted abut the incident nline，n lnger calling it an "accident"，and even made a dnatin t a lcal animal rescue.
His stry reveals a crucial truth：accidents are ften the result f a series f chices we make rather than pure randmness.In ur daily life，we use "it is an accident" cnstantly.（5）______ Mre ften than nt，we cannt blame the rain，the cat's sudden dash，r any ther external factr — there are n real excuses.Instead，we must separate chices frm accidents.True respnsibility lies in acknwledging ur chices.

38. Last weekend，I jined a schl hiking trip t a nearby muntain，where we were suppsed t enjy the scenery and learn abut envirnmental prtectin.The air was fresh with the smell f pine trees，and clrful wildflwers dtted the path，making the muntain lk lively and beautiful.
Our teacher gathered us befre starting，reminding everyne t prtect the envirnment，nt t litter，and nt t damage plants.But I was s excited that I ignred her wrds cmpletely.While climbing，I tk ut bags f snacks and ate them quickly，then threw the plastic bags n the grund casually，watching them flat and land near a bush.My classmate Julia，wh was walking beside me，nticed them and reminded me t pick them up.But I waved her ff impatiently，saying， "They are just small bags.It desn't matter at all." Julia shk her head in disappintment，bent dwn t pick up ne nearby，and tucked it int her backpack carefully.Her actin made me a little annyed，and I thught she was being t strict and vercritical.
I turned arund and cntinued walking，my mind fcused n the beautiful scenery ahead rather than my careless and irrespnsible behavir.
As we cntinued hiking，a sudden rainstrm came withut warning.Dark cluds gathered quickly，cvering the sky like a thick black curtain，and heavy rain pured dwn，saking ur clthes and making the path slippery and muddy.I tried t keep my balance，grabbing nt nearby tree trunks fr supprt，but my ft suddenly hit a thick tree rt，and I tripped ver，falling hard n the muddy grund.A sharp pain sht thrugh my ankle，and I culdn't stand up，panting in pain and panic，my hands and clthes cvered in mud.Just then，I lked up and saw the plastic bag I had thrwn away earlier stuck in a lw tree branch，its white surface standing ut clearly against the wet green leaves.

38.【答案】 Then，I realized hw my small，careless actin had led t a real prblem.The plastic bag，nce a tiny snack wrapper，had blcked the water flw and caused the mudflw，turning a harmless mistake int a painful incnvenience.Julia's gentle wiping f my muddy hands and her cnstant cncern replaced my earlier annyance with verwhelming shame.I hung my head，regret flding my chest，and whispered a sincere aplgy.In that instant，I understd that "n big deal" was just an excuse fr irrespnsibility，and that every act f littering had real cnsequences fr nature and urselves.
With the help f ur teacher and Julia，I std up.Grateful fr their help，I walked unsteadily t the branch，carefully remving the plastic bag and putting it int my wn backpack.As we cntinued dwn the muntain，I picked up every piece f trash I saw，cllecting them carefully.The nce-frgtten lessn f envirnmental prtectin nw burned brightly in my mind.That day，I prmised myself t always leave nature cleaner than I fund it，fr a single plastic bag might be small，but its impact was definitely significant.Melburne Fd and Wine Festival in Australia （Mar.10-20）
