uippedwithChatGPTcouldreducetheirweeklylesson-planningtimebynearlyathird.(教师借助人工智能出测验题、布置个性化作业。英格兰68所中学开展的试点结果显示，科学教师借助ChatGPT，每周备课时间减少近三分之一。)”可知，使用ChatGPT的教师每周备课时间减少了近三分之一，节省工作时间体现了人工智能提升效率的优势。3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“SchoolsneedtoguidestudentsonhowtouseAI.AItoolsshouldbedesignedtoencouragethinking,notjustprovideanswers.Withcautioususe,AIcanbeahelpfulpartnerineducation.(学校需引导学生合理、正确使用人工智能。人工智能工具的研发应重在启发思考，而非单纯给出答案。理性适度使用，人工智能会成为教育的得力助手。)”可知，本段明确提出，学校需要引导学生正确使用人工智能。4．A5．B6．B7．C【导语】主要讲述作者被迫在下午陪爷爷，一开始两人相处尴尬，后来爷爷教作者下国际象棋，作者在失败中学习，最后两人关系改善，作者领悟到生活和象棋一样，选择会影响后续发展，一种新的情感纽带在两人间形成。4．推理判断题。根据第一段“ThemomentIslidintothecar,Momhitmewiththenews:IwastospendtheafternoonwithGrandpawhilesheattendedameeting.Myprotestwasimmediate(我一上车，妈妈就告诉我这个消息：她去开会的时候，我要和爷爷共度下午。我立刻表示抗议)”及第二段“NotlongafterMomleft,anawkwardstillnesssettledbetweenus.(妈妈离开后不久，一种尴尬的寂静在我们之间蔓延开来)”可知，作者起初抗拒和爷爷待在一起，两人相处尴尬，说明在那个下午之前作者和爷爷关系疏远。5．词句猜测题。根据第四段“mykingcorneredandimmobile(我的“国王”被困住，无法移动)”可知，“checkmate”指的是一种局面，在这种局面下，一方的“国王”被逼迫到角落无法移动，也就是没有可走的棋了，所以“checkmate”最有可能的意思是“没有棋可走的局面”。6．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Hedidwell.Helearnedalot.(他下得很好。学到了很多)”可知，爷爷不让着作者，是想帮助作者快速提升。7．主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合最后一段中“Therigidlinesbetweenushadsoftened,replacedbysomethingunspokenyetreal.WhenIthankedGrandpaforthechesslesson,hesmiledinrecognition—thefirsttimeIcouldeverrememberseeinghimdoso.(我和爷爷之间原本僵硬疏远的关系慢慢变得柔和，多了一份无声却真切的亲情。当我向爷爷道谢时，他欣慰地笑了，那是我记忆里第一次看到他笑)”可知，主要讲述作者被迫在下午陪爷爷，一开始两人相处尴尬，后来爷爷教作者下国际象棋，作者在失败中学习，最后两人关系改善，一种新的情感纽带在两人间形成。C选项“一种新形成的纽带”为最佳标题。8．D9．A10．A11．D【导语】主要介绍在加利福尼亚州东部约塞米蒂国家公园，猫头鹰因车辆威胁生存面临困境，公园与相关机构合作研究，揭示其栖息地使用、捕猎模式等问题，并提出保护措施。8．推理判断题。根据第一段“Inthehigh-mountaingrasslandsofeasternCalifornia,agrayowl(猫头鹰)restsbesidearoadwithinYosemiteNationalPark.Heisfocusedonhispreyacrosstheroad.Ashetakesoff,flyingjustinchesoverthepavement,acarspeedsby,narrowlymissinghim.(在加利福尼亚州东部的高山草原上，一只灰色的猫头鹰栖息在约塞米蒂国家公园内的一条路边。它专注于路对面的猎物。当它起飞，在路面上方仅几英寸处飞行时，一辆汽车疾驰而过，险些撞到它。)”以及第二段“Manyowlsarenotasfortunate.Since2003,23individuals—over11%ofthepresentpopulation—havebeenkilledbyvehicles.(许多猫头鹰就没这么幸运了。自2003年以来，已有23只猫头鹰——超过现有种群数量的11%——被车辆撞死。)”可知，作者描述第一段的场景是为了引出并说明猫头鹰面临被车辆撞击的问题。9．细节理解题。根据第三段“Thefirststepwasthehardest:capturingtheowlstoattachtrackers.(第一步是最困难的：捕获猫头鹰以安装追踪器。)”可知，研究中最具挑战性的部分是给猫头鹰安装追踪器。10．推理判断题。根据第四段““Thestudyrevealedahighconcentrationofowlterritoriesalongroadsides,”notesbiologistRamiroAragon.“Itmightbethatroadscutthroughareasowlsuse.Soit’shardtosayifthey’reattractedtoroadsoractuallyjustcaughtinbetween.”(生物学家拉米罗·阿拉贡指出：“研究显示猫头鹰的领地高度集中在路边。可能是道路穿过了猫头鹰使用的区域。所以很难说它们是被道路吸引，还是实际上只是被困在中间。”)”可知，拉米罗·阿拉贡对猫头鹰偏好路边捕猎的情况表示担忧。11．细节理解题。根据第五段“Dataalsoshowsowlactivityoverlaps(重叠)withtrafficpeaks.Theyweremostactiveaftersunsetandbetween4and6a.m.,whilepublicentrywithoutreservationisallowedbefore6a.m.“Wecanusethedatatoregulatethetimingsowe’renotcreatinganartificialpushoftrafficrightaroundpeakhoursofowlactivity,”Mackeysays.(数据还显示猫头鹰的活动与交通高峰重叠。它们在日落后和凌晨4点到6点之间最为活跃，而早上6点前允许无预约入园。麦基说：“我们可以利用这些数据来调整时间安排，这样就不会在猫头鹰活动的高峰期人为地造成交通高峰。)”）可知，为解决猫头鹰活动与交通高峰重叠的问题，建议调整预约时间表。12．C13．B14．C15．D【导语】主要介绍地热能在全球经历复兴，以英国康沃尔郡的联合唐斯工厂为例，阐述其优势、面临的挑战与机遇，以及先进技术对其发展的推动，表明地热能有望满足不断增长的能源需求。12．推理判断题。根据第二段“Unlikeweather-dependentwindandsolar,geothermalprovidescontinuouscleanpowerwithshorterconstructionperiodthannuclearandlessenvironmentalimpactthanhydropower.(与依赖天气的风能和太阳能不同，地热能提供持续的清洁能源，建设周期比核能短，对环境的影响比水电小)”可知，作者通过将地热能与风能、太阳能、核能、水电进行对比，突出地热能的特点，所以作者在第二段是通过作比较的方式介绍地热能的。13．细节理解题。根据第四段“Anunexpecteddiscoveryaddednewvalue:thehotwatercontainssignificantlithium,essentialforelectricvehiclebatteries,whichcouldgeneratetentimesmorebenefitsthanelectricityitself,makingsuchprojectsmorefinanciallyattractive.(一个意外发现增加了新的价值：热水中含有大量锂，这对电动汽车电池至关重要，其产生的效益可能是电力本身的十倍，这使得此类项目在经济上更具吸引力)”可知，地热能项目中热水含有锂这一副产品的发现，极大地提升了项目的经济效益，增强了地热能项目的经济吸引力。14．细节理解题。根据第五段“Techniquesborrowedfromoilandgasdrilling,includinghorizontaldrillingandhigh-pressurewaterinjectiontocrackhotrocks,allowaccesstogeothermalenergyinfarmorelocations.(从石油和天然气钻探中借鉴的技术，包括水平钻探和高压注水使热岩石破裂，使得在更多地方能够获取地热能)”可知，先进的钻探技术使得地热能的覆盖范围更广，更多地区能够利用地热能。15．推理判断题。根据第三段“TheInternationalEnergyAgencysaysitmaymeetupto15%oftheexpectedgrowthinelectricitydemandby2050.(国际能源署表示，到2050年，地热能可能满足高达15%的预期电力需求增长)”可知，地热能有可能满足不断增长的能源需求。16．A17．G18．D19．B20．F【导语】文章主要介绍了内向与外向两种性格类型的特点、动态变化特征，以及如何基于差异理解和尊重他人、建立良好人际关系。16．上文“Introversionandextroversionareatoppositeextremes,yetmostpeoplefallsomewhereinbetween.(内向和外向处于两个相反的极端，但大多数人都介于两者之间)”指出大多数人的性格并非处于极端位置，A选项“Personalitystylesareneverfixed.(性格类型从来不是固定不变的)”承接上文，进一步说明性格不仅分布连续，而且具有动态变化的特征；下文“Forinstance,peopleoftenbecomemoreintrovertedastheyage,ashiftdrivenbychangesinmotivation,energylevels,andlifestyle.(例如，随着年龄增长，人们往往会变得更内向，这种转变是由动机、精力水平和生活方式的改变驱动的)”通过举例具体说明性格如何随时间变化，与A选项中的“neverfixed”相呼应。17．上文“Contextalsoplaysacrucialrole.Someonewholacksregularsocialinteractionmightbecomeoutgoinginanewenvironment.(环境也起着关键作用。一个缺乏正常社交互动的人在新环境中可能会变得外向)”指出性格受环境影响而变化，G选项“Therefore,avoidlabelingfriendssimplyasabsolute“introverts”or“extroverts”.(因此，避免简单地将朋友贴标签为绝对的“内向者”或“外向者”)”与上文构成因果关系，基于性格动态变化这一前提，提出应避免给人贴固定标签的建议；下文“Instead,recognizetheirdynamicpersonalitiesshapedbytimeandcircumstance.(相反，要认识到他们由时间和环境塑造的动态性格)”进一步解释应如何正确看待他人性格，与G选项中的“avoidlabeling...asabsolute”形成对应。18．上文“Anintrovertmayperceiveaprivatequestionasimpolite,whileanextrovertmightintendfriendlinesswithit.(内向者可能认为私人问题不礼貌，而外向者则可
