213002. （2023•长安区一中•高三上期中）     Automation （自动化） was a hot topic.Nearly everyone agreed that people would be working less once computers and other kinds of automatic machinery became widespread.For optimists，this was a promise of liberation：At last humanity would be freed from constant toil，and we could all devote our days to more refined pursuits.But others saw a threat：Millions of people would be thrown out of work，and desperate masses would roam the streets.Looking back from 50 years hence，the controversy over automation seems a quaint and curious episode.The dispute was never resolved.
    A．J.Hayes，a leader（and no relation to me），wrote in 1964：Automation is not just a new kind of mechanization but a revolutionary force capable of overturning our social order.Whereas mechanization made workers more efficient-and thus more valuable-automation threatens to make them superfluous （过剩的）-and thus without value.The opinions I have cited here represent extreme positions，and there were also many milder views.But I think it's fair to say that most early students of automation，including both critics and enthusiasts，believed the new technology would lead us into a world where people worked much less.
    As for economic consequences，worries about unemployment have certainly not gone away-not with job losses in the current recession approaching 2 million workers in our country alone.But recent job losses are commonly attributed to causes other than automation，such as competition from overseas or a roller-coaster financial system.In any case，the vision of a world where machines do all the work and people stand idly by has simply not come to pass.
    The spread of automation outside of the factory has altered its social and economic impact in some curious ways.In many cases，the net effect of automation is not that machines are doing work that people used to do.Instead we've dispensed with the people who used to be paid to run the machines，and we've learned to run them ourselves.These trends contradict almost all the expectations of early writers on automation，both optimists and pessimists.So far，automation has neither liberated us from the need to work nor deprived us of the opportunity to work.Instead，we're working more than ever.
    What about trades closer to my own vital interests？Will science be automated？Technology al-ready has a central role in many areas of research；for example，genome sequences could not be read by traditional lab-bench methods.Replacing the scientist will presumably be a little harder than re-placing the lab technician，but when a machine exhibits enough curiosity and tenacity，I think we'll just have to welcome it as a companion in zealous research.And if the scientist is elbowed aside by an automaton，then surely the science writer can't hold out either.I'm ready for my 15-hour work-week.

（1）In Paragraph 1，the writer mainly wants to convey that        .
A．automation results in unemployment on
B．automation does more harm than good
C．the issue of automation is still in discussion
D．automation brings in much convenience in life
（2）According to A．J.Hayes，we can infer        .
A．automation is more valuable than what we imagine
B．automation is a revolutionary force to better development
C．the disadvantages of automation far outweigh the advantages
D．the new technology would lead people into working much less
（3）What does the underlined word possibly mean？

（1）段落大意题。根据第一段中Nearly everyone agreed that people would be working less once computers and other kinds of automatic machinery became widespread.For optimists，this was a promise of liberation：At last humanity would be freed from constant toil，and we could all devote our days to more refined pursuits.But others saw a threat：Millions of people would be thrown out of work，and desperate masses would roam the streets.Looking back from 50 years hence，the controversy over automation seems a quaint and curious episode.The dispute was never resolved.（几乎每个人都同意，一旦计算机和其他种类的自动机器普及，人们的工作就会减少。对乐观主义者来说，这是一个解放的承诺：人类最终将从无休止的辛劳中解脱出来，我们都可以把时间花在更精致的追求上。但其他人看到了一种威胁：数百万人将失去工作，绝望的群众将在街上游荡。从50年前看过去，关于自动化的争论似乎是一个古怪而奇怪的插曲。这场争论从未得到解决。）可知，自从自动化产生，人们对于其孰优孰劣的争论一直持续不断。由此可知，本段主要想表达的内容是自动化的问题仍在讨论中。故选C。
（2）推理判断题。根据第二段Automation is not just a new kind of mechanization but a revolutionary force capable of overturning our social order.Whereas mechanization made workers more efficient﹣and thus more valuable﹣automation threatens to make them superfluous （过剩的）﹣and thus without value.（自动化不仅是一种新型的机械化，而且是一种能够颠覆我们社会秩序的革命性力量。机械化使工人更有效率，因此更有价值，而自动化威胁使他们成为多余的，因此没有价值。）可推知，根据A.J.Hayes的说法，自动化是更好发展的革命性力量。故选B。
（3）词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段So far，automation has neither liberated us from the need to work（到目前为止，自动化并没有把我们从工作的需要中解放出来）和Instead，we're working more than ever.（相反，我们比以往任何时候都更努力工作。）可知，划线词所在句子表示"到目前为止，自动化既没有把我们从工作的需要中解放出来，也没有剥夺我们工作的机会"，划线词的意思是"剥夺"，和D选项"Take...away from"意思相近，A．Put...down for把……视作；B．Set...free from释放；C．Bring...into把……带入；D．Take...away from剥夺。故选D。
（4）推理判断题。根据最后一段Replacing the scientist will presumably be a little harder than re﹣placing the lab technician，but when a machine exhibits enough curiosity and tenacity，I think we'll just have to welcome it as a companion in zealous research.（替换科学家可能比替换实验室技术人员要困难一些，但当一台机器表现出足够的好奇心和毅力时，我认为我们将不得不欢迎它作为热心研究的伙伴。）可推知，在发展中应合理接受自动化。故选C。

201578. （2025•长安区•一模）     Will artificial intelligence （AI） replace my job？This is a question that many people think about these days.At present，the application of AI robotics in professional fields，as well as ChatGPT's abilities to write essays，solve complex problems and more，have heightened moral concerns.
    Some people see AI as the ultimate cure for society's most fundamental problems，while others fear that AI will overtake human intelligence.These two views are based on the assumption that AI is better and smarter than humanity and may ultimately replace human decision-making.But given the fact that technology is the product of human civilization，the challenge from AI is something we have created for ourselves as we keep pushing our own boundaries.In other words，AI's progress，functions and future direction are all determined by the human brain.
    Before AI becomes a threat to humanity，the international community should reach an agreement on the role it is to play.More importantly，related laws and regulations must ensure that AI will benefit society and prevent it from threatening human life.Robots，for example，are believed to develop emotional intelligence sometime，which enables them to recognize，understand and express emotions in a way that is similar to humans，but we must avoid AI copying human emotions.Without legal restrictions，AI may become a social disaster.
    The AI-driven new industrial revolution（革命） is irreversible.This，like previous ones，which introduced changes that had been unimaginable before，will certainly affect human employment.But it always turned out humanity was able to adapt to each industrial revolution and create new forms of employment.Therefore，it's unnecessary to worry AI will replace our jobs.While technology advances at a rapid pace，what we need to do is to welcome the AI era rather than block its unfolding for fear of the unknown.

（1）Why are some people concerned about AI？
A．It has been applied widely.
B．It has led to social problems.
C．It may outsmart humans.
D．It is the product of humanity.
（2）How can we prevent AI's potential threat？
A．By stirring emotions.
B．By setting restrictions.
C．By blocking functions.
D．By changing regulations.
（3）What does the underlined word "irreversible" in the last paragraph mean？
A．Undesirable.
B．Unbelievable.
C．Unpredictable.
D．Unavoidable.
（4）What does the writer suggest readers do with the coming of the AI era？
A．Deal with it positively.
B．Accept it passively.
C．Respond to it randomly.
D．Defend it unconditionally.

201655. （2025•高新一中•十模）     In one horrible film plot，Al eventually outsmarts humans and takes over computers and factories.In another，large language models （LLMs） of the sort that power generative AI like ChatGPT give bad guys the know-how to create destructive cyberweapons.
    It is time to think hard about these film plots，not because they have become more probable but because policymakers around the world are considering measures to guard against them.The idea that AI could drive humans to extinction is speculative—no one yet knows how such a threat might materialise and no common methods exist for determining what counts as risky.Plenty of research needs to be done before standards and rules can be set.
    Governments cannot ignore a technology that could change the world deeply.Regulators have been too slow in the past，but there is danger，too，in acting hurriedly.If they go too fast，policymakers could create global rules that are aimed at the wrong problems and are ineffective against the real ones.
    Because of the computing resources and technical skills required，only a handful of companies have so far developed powerful "frontier" models.New hurried regulations could easily block out competitors to the "handful of companies"，especially because these companies are working closely with governments on writing the rule book.A focus on extreme risks is likely to make regulators careful of open -source models，which are freely available and can easily be revised.
    The best that governments can do now is to set up the basic systems to study the technology and its potential risks，and ensure that those working on the problem have enough resources.As AI develops further，regulators will have a far better idea of what risks they are guarding against，and consequently what the rule book should look like.A fully mature body could eventually take shape.But creating it will take time and reflection.

（1）What does the first paragraph function as？
A．An argument.
B．An explanation.
C．A comment.
D．A lead-in.
（2）What does the underlined word "speculative" in paragraph 2 mean？
A．Theoretical.
B．Common.
C．Unique.
D．False.
（3）What is the harm of regulators' going too fast on the AI issue？
A．Competition in this area is prevented.
B．The development of AI is restricted.
C．AI will be applied to a limited degree.
D．The public will be misled about danger.
（4）Which can be the best title of the text？
A．AI：a Real Threat？
B．Don't Rush into Policing AI.
C．AI：Humans' Friend or Enemy？
D．Time for Government to Regulate AI

201549. （2025•西安中学•一模）     Elon Musk has offered a prize of ＄100 m for the best carbon capture proposal.I can save his committee a lot of time.The money should go to Peter Wohlleben，whose book The Hidden Life of Trees was the most encouraging blockbuster of 2015.Wohlleben's idea is this：do nothing about trees.Stop fiddling with them，thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature.If we fiddle，our Romes will burn.
    The Hidden Life of Trees argued that trees are social.It shows that they can be our saviors.But it's terribly hard to let ourselves be saved.We think we can be the authors of our salvation（拯救）.Of course，there are things we could and should be doing，but in terms of forestry practice，often what's billed as part of the solution is part of the problem.
    Anyone who has planted a tree in their garden knows that it has a far-reaching effect—it makes your garden cooler in summer and warmer in winter.Forests cool by transpiring（蒸发）.If there's no water，there's no cooling.Drought can kill trees fast，but trees have many ways of dealing with it，and Wohlleben sets them out.As a species，we have survived many climatic changes by changing our behavior—and that's how trees survive，too.Trees learn from their past harms and produce younger ones programmed with those lessons.They regulate their growth by changing the rate at which they drip（点滴）-feed them with sugar solution through root networks.
    Deciduous（落叶的） forests in particular remove greenhouse gases effectively as long as they live.Cut them down and burn them and you're releasing carbon dioxide not just from the wood，but also from the forest floor.Deciduous trees are not"harvest-ready"at200 years：they are teenagers.We must interrogate comforting expressions such as"renewable energy"，and learn the real cost of our toilet paper.
    If we don't learn to do nothing about trees，they will eventually be alone anyway—but without us.Wohlleben brilliantly and readably shows us how urgent and how hard it is to do nothing.

（1）What does Wohlleben suggest for carbon capture？
A.Fight climate change.
B.Leave trees alone.
C.Save the earth.
D.Change forestry species.
（2）How do trees survive the drought？
A.They slow their growth.
B.They lose all their leaves.
C.They stop absorbing water.
D.They get help from humans.
（3）What can we infer from the text？
A.We can cope with climate change successfully.
B.Trees can adjust their growth by themselves.
C.It is hard to stop releasing carbon dioxide.
D.It is urgent to regulate the growth of trees.
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the text？
A.To illustrate the carbon capture system.
B.To give an account of the survival of trees.
C.To clarify a proposal for a reward.
D.To recommend a book.

205528. （2020•蓝田县•高三上期末） Two new movies--Inventing Tomorrow and Science Fair-take audiences behind the posters of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair （ISEF）.Created by Society for Science & the Public and supported by Intel ISEF brings together thousands of budding （初露头角的） scientists each year.In one week，they compete for prizes and present their science fair projects to the public.
   In Inventing Tomorrow，director Laura Nix follows teens，as they take on environmental problems close to home and bring their solutions to ISEF.Jose Manuel Eliade Esparaza，18，Jesus Alfonso Martinez Aranda，17，and Fernando Miguel Sanchez Villalobos，17，design a paint to absorb the air pollution affecting their home in Monterrey，Mexico.Meanwhile，Sahithi Pingali，16，for example，hates the rubbish poling up in her local lakes in Bangalore，India.She designs a water testing app to help her neighbors monitor water quality. "It is our job as the next generation to solve this." Sahithi said.
   Science Fair doesn't have such a similar scientific message.Instead，it focuses on how the teens present their research at ISEF，and why they want to be there.For example，Robbie Barrat，17，struggles in school in Shenandoah，W.Vs.，but he performs well at home，teaching computers how to sing like Kanye West.Ivo Zell，18，loves to fly model planes in Lorch，Germany，so he invents a new flying wing.The kids in Science Fair seem a bit more realistic than the ideal （理想的） dreamers of Inventing Tomorrow.
   While the movies are both about the same big science fair，neither is really about the science the teens carry out.It's not clear how the students came up with their projects，how they did the science itself or how they found teachers at universities to help them.Instead，the two movies focus on the experience of competing at a huge science fair.It's a place where kids bring their wildest scientific ideas.They find more people like themselves.And it's something that all the teens hope will help them succeed in life.

（1）Which word can best describe Inventing Tomorrow？
A．Touching.
B．Inspiring.
C．Humorous.
D．Frightening.
（2）What does Science Fair tell us about？
A．Why the teens take part in the fair.
B．When the teens do the experiments.
C．How the teens solve the air poll.
D．How the teens come up with their projects.
（3）What's the purpose of the two movies？
A．To popularize science.
B．To make the teens famous.
C．To advertise the science fair.
D．To encourage scientific spirit.
（4）What would be the best title for the text？

205369. （2020•西安中学•高一上期末） If a stranger offered you money to keep a suitcase in your spare room，would you accept？How about the other way round：if you had too many belongings，would you consider trusting someone you met online with their safekeeping？Anthony Paine believed enough of us would answer "yes" to these questions to launch his own startup （新兴公司），Stashbee．His business links people with space to those who need it．
   And it's just one player in the booming "sharing economy"，an industry that relies on people renting out things like their beds，bikes and even parking spaces．Airbnb，a company valued at 200 bn RMB，provides a platform for those renting property short-term．DogVacay pairs holiday making pet owners with pet-friendly hosts，and aims to be profitable by 2017．
   All their business models revolve around one simple word：trust．So，how does Stashbee measure up？BBC journalist Dougal Shaw decided to try it out for himself．He had some odds and ends to store while renovating his house，and met a host through the site who could keep them for 475 RMB for two months．All relatively smooth and painless．
   Heavyweights （行业巨头） in the traditional storage industry，such as Big Yenow and Access，aren't convinced．A representative from Access told Shaw he was skeptical about storing with "amateurs"．He considered 24/7（全天候） access to the items and better security as the main advantages of his service．
   Stashbee agree that dealing with security concerns is important，but say business success depends more on people overcoming a distrust of strangers we've been taught since childhood．They aren't alone．Companies such as Costockage，Roost and Spacer all run similar storage businesses，and are all relying on a shift in consumer attitudes．
   And the concept of social storage doesn't stop there．CityStasher believe there's a gap in the market for those who want to store things for extremely short periods of time．

205313. （2021•新城区•高一下期末） Major cities across the country，from Washington D.C.to Los Angeles，are heating up.The downtown parts of Phoenix can be up to 15 degrees warmer at night than its suburb（郊区）.During the day，the street can reach over 160 degrees，hot enough to cook an egg.Unsurprisingly，walking across such a hot street to get to work，school，and do your daily work takes its toll on your health.
   Local governments have turned to planting trees to help stop rising temperatures in city areas.These tree planting efforts are usually announced with much showing off but are not as simple as planting a few trees and calling it a day.There's typically this sort of blind faith that trees will provide all of wonderful social benefits.But the environmental benefits that trees provide depend entirely on context.Tree planting plans may not lead to the cooling joy we desire in city areas.
   While tees，theoretically，are a "green" solution to unbearable summer city weather，in practice，many problems arise，namely keeping track of just how many trees have already found their roots and convincing land owners to keep planting trees along their personal property（私产）.In some cases，cities are already doing a good enough job that they are running out of space，like in Washington，D.C.where they are currently at 38 percent canopy （树冠）coverage but are hoping to raise coverage up to 40 percent.But the biggest problem is that public area alone isn't enough for new trees in Washington D.C，as well as in cities like Phoenix and Los Angeles，and now，citizens will have to plant trees on personal property to help reach their canopy coverage goals.In many cases，that means landowners need to take care of those trees since they technically don't belong to the city itself.
   At the end of the day，trees are a good starting point，but we still have so much to learn about how well they work to cool down our hottest cities.

（1）What does the underlined word "toll" in paragraph 1 mean？
A．Cost.
B．Turn.
C．Time.
D．Place.
（2）What is the author's attitude to planting trees to cool cities？
A．Unconcerned.
B．Dissatisfied.
C．Supportive.
D．Confident.
（3）What is the biggest problem of planting trees in cities？
A．Skills of planting trees.
B．Space for planting trees.
C．The high canopy coverage.
D．The unsure tree ownership.
（4）What can be the best title for the text？
A．Heating Cities in the United States
B．A "Green" Solution to Climate Change
C．A Typical Blind Faith in Planting Trees
D．Problems of the Measure to Cool Hot Cities

205079. （2022•蓝田县•高一上期末） The Food Trainer（FoodT app）trains people to tap on images of healthy foods but to stop when they see unhealthy snacks.The new study，by the universities of Exeter and Helsinki，found that playing the game a- bout once a day for a month led to an average one-point reduction of junk food consumption（消费）.
Generally，people who used the app more also reported great changes in their food intake.One app user wrote， "Really useful.I used to eat junk food two to four times a week and I have reduced this to once a week after using the app regularly for a month.My desire for junk food has been reduced greatly and I no longer eat in the evening mindlessly. "
   The app regularly asks questions about how often users eat certain foods，along with other information such as their age and weight.Then the study used FoodT usage data and found that using the app regularly was connected with big changes in eating habits.

204810. （2022•周至四中•高二下期末） You've heard that plastic is polluting the ocean—between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year.But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference？Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage，forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
   At the beginning of the year，the artist built a piece called "Strawpocalypse，" a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves，frozen mid-crash.Made of 168，000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups，the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City，Vietnam.
   Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled.Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source（来源）of plastic pollution，but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and，because of their small size and weight，they cannot be recycled.Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes.Once the drink is gone，the straw will take centuries to disappear.
   In a piece from 2018，Von Wong wanted to illustrate（说明）a specific statistic：Every 60 seconds，a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean.For this work，titled "Truckload of Plastic，" Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10，000 pieces of plastic，which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped（倾倒） from a truck all at once.
   Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.

（1）What are Von Wong's artworks intended for？
A．Beautifying the city he lives in.
B．Introducing eco-friendly products.
C．Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
D．Reducing garbage on the beach.
（2）Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3？
A．To show the difficulty of their recycling.
B．To explain why they are useful.
C．To voice his views on modern art.
D．To find a substitute for them.
（3）What effect would "Truckload of Plastic" have on viewers？
A．Calming.
B．Disturbing.
C．Refreshing.
D．Challenging.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A．Artists' Opinions on Plastic Safety
B．Media Interest in Contemporary Art
C．Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
D．Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures

204706. （2022•西安中学•高一下期末） Students and Technology in the Classroom I love my blackberry （黑莓手机）— it's my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me.I also love my laptop computer，as it holds all of my writing and thoughts.Despite this love of technology，I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices （设备） and truly communicate with others.
   On one occasion，I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers.My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas.Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom，I have a rule-no laptops，IPads，phones，etc.When students were told my rule in advance of the class，some of them were not happy.
   Most students think that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology.There's a bit of truth to that.Some students think that I am anti-technology.There's no truth in that at all.I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.
   The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and engage complex ideas.Interruptions by technology often break concentration （专心） and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas.I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas.I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course material and the class discussion.
   I've been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create.Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge，they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.
   I'm not saying that I won't ever change my mind about technology use in my history class，but until I hear a rally good reason for the change，I'm sticking to my plan.A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.

（1）Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with        .
A．the course material
B．others' misuse of technology
C．discussion topics
D．the author's class rules
（2）The underlined word "engage" in para.4 probably means        .
A．explore
B．accept
C．change
D．refuse
（3）According to the author，the use of technology in the classroom may        .
A．keep students from doing independent thinking
B．encourage students to have deep conversations
C．help students to better understand difficult themes
D．affect students' concentration on the teacher's ideas
（4）It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author        .
A．is quite stubborn in teaching
B．will give up teaching history
C．will change his teaching plan soon
D．values technology-free dialogues in his class

204517. （2023•西安市蓝田县城关中学•高一下期末）     When I was young，a friend and I came up with a "big" plan to make reading easy.The idea was to boil down great books to a sentence each. "Moby-Dick" by American writer Herman Melville，for instance，was reduced to： "A whale of a tale about the one that got away." As it turned out， the joke was on us.How could a single sentence convey the essence （精髓） of a masterpiece with over five hundred pages？
    Blinkist，a website and an app，now summarizes nonfiction titles in the form of quick takes labeled "bliks." The end result is more than one sentence，but not by much.Sarah Bakewell's "At the Existentialist Cafe" is broken into 11 screens of information；Michelle Obama's "Becoming" fills 13.
    Blinkist has been around since 2012.It calls its summaries "15-minute discoveries" to indicate how long it takes to read a Blinkist summary. "Almost none of us，" the editors assure us， "have the time to read everything we'd like to read." Well，yes，of course. "So many books，so little time." declares a poster I once bought at a book market.But I judge the quality of someone's library by the books he or she has yet to read.
    That's because a book is something we ought to live with，rather than speed through and categorize.It offers an experience as real as any other.The point of reading a book is not accumulating information，or at least not that alone.The most essential aspect is the communication between writer and reader：The idea behind Blinkist，however，is the opposite：
    Reading can be，should be，measured by the efficient uptake （吸收） of key ideas.No，no，no.What's best about reading books is its inefficiency.
    When reading a book，we need to dive in，let it take over us，demand something of us，teach us what it can.Blinkist is instead a service that changes books for people who don't，in fact，want to read.A 15-minute summary misses the point of reading；speed-reading with the app isn't reading at all.

（1）What does the underlined part "the joke was on us" in Paragraph 1 mean？
A．We were actually joking.
B．We were laughed at by others.
C．We were underestimating ourselves.
D．We were just embarrassing ourselves.
（2）What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？
A．What Blinkist is.
B．Why Binkist is popular.
C．How to use Blinkist.
D．Where you can use Blinkist.
（3）What is mentioned as a problem about reading in paragraph 3？
A．There are few new books of quality.
B．Many books are hard to understand.
C．People do not have enough time to read.
D．People do not like reading as much as before.
（4）What is an ideal pattern of reading according to the author？
A．Obtaining key ideas efficiently.
B．Further confirming our beliefs.
C．Accumulating information quickly.
D．Deeply involving ourselves in books.

204651. （2023•师大附中•高二下期末） If you have gone to the cinema and watched the popular movie "The Wandering Earth II" recently，you might be impressed by the intelligent computer MOSS.It can make the reasonable decision in the shortest time based on the given conditions.In fact，such strong AI like MOSS does not exist in reality for the time being.
   However，weaker AI，which replaces human processing in a specific field，has already influenced our daily life.For example，OpenAI，the San Francisco-based startup opened up the language model ChatGPT for public testing in November 2022.Compared with traditional search engines，which display simple results according to searching keywords，ChatGPT can interact with people just like dialoguing，answer professional questions，and also answer follow-up questions.Thanks to its revolutionary user experience，ChatGPT obtained more than one million users just five days after its release.
   More than a Chatbot，ChatGPT can also realize article creation，code generating and other functions only by requesting.ChatGPT can even write code such as Python，debug （排错）code and generate comments for code just like a professional programmer.It also presented strong capacity in content continuation，literary creation，music creation，etc.It is so powerful that New York City public schools have banned it from their networks and school devices.
   However，ChatGPT is still far from perfect.Even OpenAI's CEO once said， "It's a mistake to be relying on it for anything important right now.It's a preview of progress.We have lots of work to do on robustness（稳健性）and truthfulness."
   Even though AI like ChatGPT still has a long way to go，predictions about how the technology will influence our society are already there.Among the industries that may be most affected by ChatGPT，experts say，are journalism，law and translation.

（1）Why is the movie "The Wandering Earth II" mentioned in the first paragraph？
A．To introduce the topic of the text.
B．To prove that the movie is a hit.
C．To show how intelligent MOSS is.
D．To advertise the movie.
（2）Which statement about ChatGPT will the author probably agree with？
A．It's well-received for its truthfulness.
B．It can just display simple results content.
C．It should be banned from all school networks.
D．It makes human-machine interaction more intelligent.
（3）What does the OpenAI's CEO think of ChatGPT？
A．It's totally reliable.
B．It needs improving.
C．It's of no use.
D．It should speed up its progress.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．ChatGPT Works
B．ChatGPT Sells Well
C．AI Takes Over
D．Moss Beats ChatGPT

212685. （2025•莲湖区•高一下期中）        AI-powered chatbots （聊天机器人） are getting pretty good at identifying some diseases，but how do chatbots do when things are less black and white？For example，how long should a patient stop taking blood thinners before an operation？Should a patient's treatment change if they've had harmful reactions to similar medicine in the past？These kinds of clinical （临床的） crossroads don't have a textbook right or wrong answer — it's up to doctors to use their opinions.
       Researcher Jonathan H.Chen and his team have been exploring whether AI-powered chatbots could effectively answer such questions，and whether doctors supported by chatbots would perform better.
       The team designed a trial to study clinical reasoning performance in three groups：the chatbot alone，46 doctors with chatbots' support，and 46 doctors with access only to Internet search and medical references.They selected five patient cases and gave them to three groups，all of whom were expected to provide a written response that detailed what they would do in each case，and why，and what they considered when making the decision.In addition，the researchers invited a group of authoritative doctors to create scoring standards.The decisions from three groups were then scored according to the standards.
       To the team's surprise，the chatbot outperformed the doctors who had access only to the Internet and medical references，selecting more items on the scoring standards than the doctors did.But the doctors who were paired with chatbots kept up with the chatbot alone.
       What exactly drove the doctor-chatbot cooperation （合作） is up for debate. "Does using chatbots force doctors to be more thoughtful about the case？Or are chatbots providing guidance that the doctors wouldn't have thought of on their own？That needs to be explored，" Chen said. "The positive outcomes for chatbots and doctors paired with chatbots are in AI's favor." Chen added， "This doesn't mean patientould skip （跳过） the doctors and go directly to chatbots.Don't do that."
（1）What did the researchers want to find out through the research？
A．Why patients preferred chatbots over doctors.
B．In which case chatbots could replace doctors.
C．When doctors could outperform AI-powered chatbots.
D．If chatbots could offer reliable advice like doctors do.
（2）How did the researchers conduct their research？
A．By conducting a survey among doctors.
B．By asking authoritative doctors.
C．By having doctors compete with chatbots.
D．By using chatbots to lead doctors.
（3）What do we know from the research？
A．Doctors without chatbots' support performed the best.
B．Chatbots did as well as the doctors with chatbots' support.
C．Chatbots performed worse than doctors with Internet access.
D．Doctors armed with chatbots performed worse than chatbots.
（4）What is Chen's attitude to the use of chatbots in clinical field？
A．Careful.
B．Doubtful.
C．Resistant.
D．Unclear.
