第三段明确提到研究指出电价上涨的主要原因是电网升级、发电设备和原材料成本上升，第四段也补充说明大部分资本投入都用于电网设备更新，因此电价上涨的原因是电网升级和设备成本，故选C。【34题详析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“AImayevenbeloweringprices.Thetechgiantsarealreadyinvestingintheirowncapacity.Microsofthassignedalong-termdealtorestartanuclearreactoratThreeMileIslandtosupplyitsdatacentres.Metahasbackedahandfulofnuclearstartups.TheWorldResourcesInstitute,anotherthink-tank,notesthatinNorthDakotarisingdemandfromoilandgasproduction,data-centreoperatorsandfood-processorsledtolargepricereductionsforlocalelectricityusers.(人工智能甚至可能在降低价格。这些科技巨头已经在投资自身的产能。微软已签署了一份长期协议，旨在重启三里岛的核反应堆，以向其数据中心提供电力供应。Meta公司也支持了几家核能初创企业。另一家智库世界资源研究所指出，在北达科他州，石油和天然气生产、数据中心运营商以及食品加工商的需求不断增长，导致当地电力用户的电价大幅下降)”可知，最后一段为了证明“AI甚至会拉低电价”的观点，先后举了微软重启核电站、Meta投资核初创公司、北达科他州电价下降三个实例，通过举例展开论述，故选B。【35题详析】主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“PowerbillsaregoingupinAmericaandpeopleareangry.Theyknowwhomtoblame—thebossesoftechnologyfirmsthirstingformorejuicetofuelartificial-intelligencedatacentres.However,theAIboomisnotchieflytoblamefortherisingcosts.(美国的电费正在上涨，民众对此感到愤怒。他们很清楚该把责任归咎于谁——那些渴望获得更多电力以支持人工智能数据中心的科技公司的老板们。然而，人工智能热潮并非导致成本上升的主要原因)”可知，本文主要介绍美国电费上涨的主要推手不是AI，而是电网升级等其他长期被忽略的因素，D项“除了人工智能：探寻电力成本上涨的真正驱动因素”为最佳标题，故选D。第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Formostofmylife,Ialwaystreatedtasteasfixed.WhenImovedtoLondon,Ithrewmyselfintoworkwhilemyhousemateswereendlesslytryingnewthings.Myautomatic“no”toanythingthat“wasn’tmything”onlykeptmetrappedinthesamedailyroutine.Thatleftmefeelingflatandalittleempty.Ibegantoquestionwhethermytasteisfixedorcouldbetrained.Ioncereadthatchildrenneedeighttofifteentriestoacceptanewfood.___36___Idecidedtostartsmall.Whenafriendinvitedmetoabookclub,Iresistedtheinstinct(本能)todismissitdespitemylongstandingdislikeofreadingandwentanyway.___37___NowIspendmorningsreadingphysicalbooksinsteadofwanderingaimlessly.Thencamemusicandperformance—allthingsIhadpreviouslydisregarded.___38___Gradually,Ibecamefascinatedbytheunfamiliarrhythmsandmovementsandfeltproudofmysurvivalintheend.___39___However,IstoppedsayingnobeforeIhadevenbegun.Mostrecently,Itriedoutmylocallibrary’schessclub.Iwaseasily30yearsyoungerthaneveryoneelse,butthatdidn’tmatter.SittingoppositepeoplewithwildlydifferentlifestoriesmademerealizehowrarelyIspeakwithothergenerations.Wetalkedabouttheirpastcareers,localnewsandnewchessmoves.Interestingly,Ifeltmoreconnectedtherethanwithpeopleofmyage.Researchsuggeststhatengagingyourcuriosityinnewactivitiescanhelpprotectagainstage-relatedcognitive(认知的)decline.___40___Gettingoutsidemycomfortzonenowgivesmearush.A.Yet,Iwaseagerforengagement.B.Ididn’tloveeverythingstraightaway.C.Forme,itisfarmorethanbrainhealth.D.Initially,Iwasawkwardandsometimesconfused.E.Asexpected,newtastesrarelycomewithoutdiscomfort.F.Tomysurprise,Ienjoyedthediscussionandthepeoplethere.G.Whyshouldn’tthesameprincipleapplytosocialactivitiesforadults?【答案】36.G37.F38.D39.B40.C【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者过去固守固有喜好、生活单调空虚，后来效仿儿童尝试新事物的道理，主动参与读书、音乐、象棋等活动，收获快乐与归属感，也认识到尝试新事物意义远超健康本身。【36题详析】前文“Ioncereadthatchildrenneedeighttofifteentriestoacceptanewfood.(我曾经读到过，孩子需要八到十五次尝试才能接受一种新的食物。)”提到儿童需要多次尝试才能接受新食物，后文“Idecidedtostartsmall.Whenafriendinvitedmetoabookclub,Iresistedtheinstinct(本能)todismissitdespitemylongstandingdislikeofreadingandwentanyway.(我决定从小事做起。当一个朋友邀请我参加一个读书俱乐部时，尽管我长期以来一直讨厌阅读，但我还是抑制住了拒绝的冲动，还是去了。)”作者开始尝试新的社交活动，G选项“Whyshouldn’tthesameprincipleapplytosocialactivitiesforadults?(为什么同样的原则不能适用于成年人的社交活动呢？)”将“食物接受原理”类比到成人社交活动，形成逻辑衔接。故选G项。【37题详析】前文“Whenafriendinvitedmetoabookclub,Iresistedtheinstincttodismissitdespitemylongstandingdislikeofreadingandwentanyway.(当一个朋友邀请我参加读书俱乐部时，尽管我长期以来一直讨厌阅读，但我还是抑制住了拒绝的冲动，还是去了。)”提到作者本不喜欢阅读却参加了读书俱乐部，后文“NowIspendmorningsreadingphysicalbooksinsteadofwanderingaimles
