【4题详析】

细节理解题。根据第一段中“ManyofRobichaud'sstudentsareseatedaswell.Theyhave

Parkinson'sdiseaseandtypicallymovewithdifficulty,butwhentheytrytomirrorherflowingand

gracefulmovements,alookofcaseconicsoverthem.(Robichaud的许多学生也是坐着的。他们

患有帕金森病，通常行动困难，但当他们尝试模仿她流畅优雅的动作时，他们脸上会流露出

轻松的神情户可知，Robichaud的学生特殊之处在于他们患有帕金森病，身体僵硬，行动困

难。故选B项。

【5题详析】

推理判断题。根据第四段中“Robichaudhasseentheupsidefirst-hand.Afewyearsaftershestarted

inhislong-termcarehomeuntilhisfinaldays.Thosememoriesarebroughtbackeverytimeshe

(Robichaud亲眼目睹了这种好处。她启动这个项目几年后，她的祖父被诊断出患有帕金森病。

Robichaud在他的长期护理院陪他跳舞，直到他生命的最后日子。Robichaud说，每次教学

时，那些记忆都会浮现在脑海中。“我对我们舞者的同情和关怀来自我的祖父”）可知，

Robichaud提到她的祖父是为了说明她创办这个项H并充满关怀地教导这些舞者的原区。故

选B项。

【6题详析】

细节理解题。根据第五段中“Recently,oneofRobichaud'sstudents,Tom,amaninhisfiftieswho,

beforetryingtheprogramme,wasconvincedthatdancingwasn'lfbrhim,saidthatheisnowable

togetaroundwithmuchmoreease.（最近，Robichaud的一名学生,五十多岁的Tom,在尝试

这个项H之前坚信舞蹈不适合他，他说他现在能够更轻松地走动了）”可知，该项目对Tcm的

影响是他能够更轻松地走动了，说明因帕金森病导致的行动僵硬得到了缓解。故选C项。

【7题详析】

主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段"Wearingallblackandsittinginhersunlitlivingroom,

Toronto-basedSarahRobichaudisteachingaballet-inspiredroutineto80studentsonZoom.（多伦

多的SarahRobichaud身穿一身黑衣，坐在她洒满阳光的客厅里，正在Zoom上向80名学生

WithParkinson'sprogramme,whichoffersfreedailydanceclassesonlineandinperson.

（Robichaud是加拿大非营利项目“与帕金森共舞”的创始人，该项目每天免费提供在线和面对

面的舞蹈课程）”以及后文对该项目效果的介绍nJ"知，本文主要讲述了Robichaud通过舞蹈帮

助帕金森患者改善生活的故事。故C项"DancingwithRobichaud:MovingtoaBetterLife（与

Robichaud共舞：迈向更美好的生活）”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选C项。

最强大的AI模型已能完成令人惊叹的任务——从撰写详尽报告到按需生成视频。难怪那么

多人担心自己很快会被淘汰）”可知，文章开头让人们担忧的原因是AI可能很快让他们失业。

故选A项。

【9题详析】

推理判断题。根据第二段中“Klama,afintechfirm,whichhadboastedaboutusingthetechto

automatecustomerserviceisnowundertakinganabout-turn.<4Thcrcwillalwaysbeahumanifyou

项技术实现客户服务自动化，如今却来了个一百八十度大转弯。“只要你愿意，总会有人工

服务，”其老板SebastianSiciniatkowski最近表示）“可知，SebastianSicmiatkowski的话暗示了

无论技术如何发展，人类的参与将始终占有一席之地。改选B项。

据，找出了被认为容易受到人工智能影响的工人。这些是白领员工，包括后台支持、金融业

务、销售等人员。这里也有类似的模式：我们没有发现人，智能对就业造成冲击的证据。恰

恰相反：过去一年，白领工作的就业比例略有上升）”以及第四段“Accordingtotherelevantdata,

强劲，这与人工智能导致劳动力需求下降的观点很难一致。美国以外的趋势也指向类似的方

向。包括英国、欧元区和H本在内的许多发达国家的收入增长都很强劲）“可知，第三段和第

四段通过列举美国就业数据和相关专家的观点，来支持作者关于人工智能没有导致失业的观

点。因此，第三、四段起到了支持作者观点的作用。故选B项。

上升）”以及最后一段"AImaysimplyhelpworkersdotheirjobsfaster,ratherthanmakingthem

【答案】12.DI3.C14.B15.D

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述/ChloeDalton的新回忆录融合传统故事类

型，讲述投情期间收养野兔的经历及书的反响。

【12题详析】

细节理解题。根据第一段中“Itbringstogethertwoconventionalstorytypes.OneislkwhatIlearned

fromwildanimals”:inMsDalton'scase,ahare.Theotheris“careerwomanfindslove,joyand

wonder”.（它融合了两种传统的故事类型。一种是“我从野生动物身上学到的东西“：在道尔顿

女士的例子中，是一只野兔。另一种是“职业女性找到了爱情、快乐和奇迹可知，Chloe

Dalton的回忆录融合了两种传统故事类型，是对旧主题的创新叙述。故选D.

【13题详析】

细节理解题。根据第二段中“Buzzards（秃鹫）circleabove:vehiclesontheroadcomeandgo;the

dogstillbarksoverthere.SoMsDaltontakestheanimalhomeandlaysitdowntosleepinagrass-

linedshoebox.（秃鹫在上空盘旋；路上的车辆来来往往；那边的狗还在叫。于是，道尔顿女士

把这只动物带回家，把它放在一个铺着草垫的鞋盒里睡觉）“可知，ChloeDalton担心小野兔

在野外的安全，所以杷它带回了家。故诜C。

【14题详析】

词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Beforelongsheisstructuringherdaysandevenherpathsaroundher

housetopleaseandavoiddisturbingthehare,forwhichsheleavesthegardendooropen.（不久，

她开始调整自己的作息，其至规划在屋内行走的路线，以取悦并避免打扰野兔，为此，她总

是让花园的门敞开着）“可知，ChloeDalton调整自己的日常安排，甚至改变在房子周围的路

线，以取悦并避免打扰野兔，还为它开着花园门，由此可知“thatfeeling”指的是对所爱之人

无法控制的喜爱之情。故迷B。

【15题详析】

在难忘的句子下划线，恐怕会把墨水都用光。此外，这本书要传达的信息不是爱有多美好，

而是关注可以传播广可知，本段主要讲述了这本书很受欢迎，作者写作风格优雅，观察敏锐，

书中句子令人难忘，而且书传达的信息也有意义，即本段主要讲述了这本书如此吸引人的原

因。故选D。

【答案】16.A17.C18.F19.G20.D

【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人们对人工智能耗电的担忧，指出这种担

忧不无道理但可能被夸大，同时阐述了人工智能在节能减排方面的潜力及实现其气候效益的

措施。

【16题详析】

上文“Withnewdatacentersplanned,furthergrowthinenergyconsumptionseemsunavoidable.（随

着新的数据中心的规划，能源消耗的讲一步增长似乎显不可避毋，的）”表认了对人工智能能源

消耗增长的担忧。下文“Infact,AImaybelessenergy-hungrythanmanypeopleassume.（事实上，

人工智能的能源消耗可能没有许多人想象的那么高）”说明这种担忧是不恰当的。空处和前文

为转折关系，说明这种担忧不合理。所以A项“但这种担忧是多余的“符合语境。故选A。

【17题详析】

上文“TheinternationalEnergyAgency（IEA）expectsthatelectricityconsumptionbydatacentres

couldbethreetimesasmuchinthenextfiveyears.（国际能源署（IEA）预计，未来五年数据中

心的电力消耗可能会增加两倍）”说明人们对数据中心耗能增长的担忧。空处和前文为转折关

系，说明即使增长，基数仍较低。所以C项“不过，即使能源使用量上升，基数仍然很低,”

符合语境。C选项中的“energyusagerises”与上文中的“electricityconsumptioncouldbethree

timesasmuch”相呼应。故选Co

【18题详析】

下文“AIblandbuutinidentifyinguumpluxpaltcms,piuucssinggiantdatabclbandbuuslingsystems,

allofwhichcanhelpcutemissionssharply.（人工智能在识别复杂模式、处理海量数据集和提升

系统方面表现突出，所有这些都能大幅减少排放户说明AI在减排、环保方面的积极作用。

空处为段落的主题句，需引出AI耗能的积极意义。所以F项“此外，AI的部分电力使用将

有助于经济绿化。”符合语境。F选项中的“helpwithgreeningtheeconomy”与下文中AI助力

减排、推动环保的内容相呼应。故选F。

【19题详析】

上文“Themostelegantsolutionwouldbeforgovernmentstcsetaproperpriceoncarbonandleave

themarkettodoitswork.（最理想的解决方案是政府为碳设定合理价格，让市场发挥作用户提

出了一个解决措施。空处和前文为转折关系，说明该措施暂难实现，需关注其他方法。所以

G项“但由于这仍是一个遥远的梦想，关注其他措施更为现实。符合语境。G选项中的“that

approach”与上文中的“setaproperpriceoncarbon”相呼应，故选G。

【20题详析】

上文“Third,techfirmsshouldholdthemselvestotheirownenvironmentalpromises.（第三,科技

公司应坚守自己的环保承诺）''提出科技公司的环保责任。空处和前文为举例关系，说明科技

公司践行环保承诺的例子，所以D项“例如，微软计划到2030年实现“碳负排放"。"符合语

境。D选项中的“Microsoft”是上文中“lechfirms”的具体例子。故选D。

第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分）

第一节（共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分）

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的
