Yu be the judge: shuld my phne-addicted friend g n a mbile detx (戒斷)?
The prsecutin (控方): James
My husemate and best friend spends every waking minute n TikTk. I knw she wrks in scial media, but she’s nw seriusly addicted t it, even after she’s clcked f. Besides, she needs t stp playing vides ludly arund the huse when I’m watching TV.
The defence: Marley
My jb means I have t be n the ball with what’s trending nline. I think James is jealus because he’s gt a rather bring jb in accunting. I dn’t g arund playing vides at full vlume all the time; I think that’s nly happened a handful f times. He’s exaggerating (夸張) there.
The jury (陪審團) f Guardian readers
While Marley’s use f TikTk may seem excessive t sme, ultimately it is up t her hw she chses t use her time. If James can’t accept that, he shuld mve ut.
Marg, 29
Marley needs t put her phne dwn, live in the mment and think less abut her scial media presence. She is guilty f nt valuing an hnest friend because she thinks a better life awaits her n TikTk.
Stewart, 35
As a fellw phne addict, I d have sympathy fr Marley. Hwever, it’s mre than a little rude t have the sund turned n while watching TV tgether.
Peter, 40
The excessive use f scial media is a crime and reflects pr cntrl ver scial habits. Marley needs t be mre cnsiderate f thers.
Steve, 6
Nw yu be the-judge
In ur reader feedback sectin, tell us: shuld Marley get ff TikTk and get a life?
21. What is Marley’s reasn fr spending time n TikTk?

【21題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“My jb means I have t be n the ball with what’s trending nline.(我的工作意味著我必須時刻關注網(wǎng)上的流行趨勢)”可知，Marley花時間在抖音上的原因是她需要了解最新的網(wǎng)絡趨勢。故選C。
【22題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)Marg, 29部分“While Marley’s use f TikTk may seem excessive t sme, ultimately it is up t her hw she chses t use her time. If James can’t accept that, he shuld mve ut.(雖然Marley對TikTk的使用對某些人來說似乎有些過度，但最終還是取決于她選擇如何利用自己的時間。如果詹姆斯不能接受，他應該搬出去)”可知，只有Marg全力支持Marley。故選A。
【23題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“In ur reader feedback sectin, tell us: shuld Marley get ff TikTk and get a life?(在我們的讀者反饋部分，告訴我們：Marley應該離開TikTk，開始自己的生活嗎？)”可知，這篇文章最有可能來自互動專欄。故選D。
B
Why des ne plus ne equal tw?
One pssible answer is “It just des!” — an answer that has been frustrating children fr generatins. It is quite right t feel frustrated by that idea.
Math can seem-like a wrld f rules yu just have t fllw, which makes it seem rigid and bring. Whereas my lve f math is smewhat driven — by my lve f breaking rules, r at least pushing against them. Bth f thse impulses (沖動) play an imprtant rle in advancing human understanding f math.
S rather than think abut why ne plus ne is tw, let’s g further and questin whether it’s true all the time.
Smetimes, ne plus ne can equal mre than tw. Say yu put ne rabbit and anther rabbit tgether. Yu might well end up with a lt f rabbits. Or smetimes, ne plus ne is just ne, like if yu put a pile f sand n tp f anther pile f sand, then yu just get ne pile f sand.
Nw, yu might think that these aren’t really mathematical situatins, because they dn’t invlve real additin. Yu’re welcme t think that, but that’s nt what math des.
Math instead says: Let’s wrk ut the cntext in which ne plus ne really des equal tw, and cntexts in which it desn’t. By explring different ways t think abut smething, we gain a deeper understanding f that thing and have mre ways t check that what we’re ding is secure.
Imagine we were designing a jungle gym fr children. We’d want t test it in every pssible way t make sure it’s safe. The slidity f math cmes frm nt wanting t trust things, but wanting t jump and swing and knw that ur framewrk will hld up.
I hpe that we will start seeing mathematics as a place t pse questins and explre answers, rather than a place where the answers are fixed and we’re suppsed t knw them. And I hpe we will place mre emphasis n thse wh fllw their curisity n a jurney that may be slw and withut a clear destinatin, a quiet walkthrugh the cunty side rather than a race t the finish.
24. Hw des the authr view the act f questining mathematical rules?
A. Crucial t gaining better insight.
B. Best suited fr advanced learners.
C. Deeply frustrating fr math lvers.
D. Harmful t understanding basic ideas.
25. Which paragraph specifically discusses exceptins t “1+1=2”?
A. Paragraph 4.B. Paragraph 5.C. Paragraph 7.D. Paragraph 8.
26. What is a benefit f appraching math in the way the authr suggests?
A. It leads t faster decisin- making.
B. It remves the need t fllw rules.
C. It facilitates reliable prblem-slving.
D. It discurages explring untested ideas.
27. Which f the fllwing bks is the text mst likely taken frm?
A. The Rules f Math: A Practical Apprach
B. Why Math Matters in Develping Independent Thinking
C. Hw Simple Questins Lead Us t Math’s Deepest Truths
D. The Jy f Numbers: Discvering Hidden Patterns in Math
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. C 27. C
【解析】
【導語】本文是說明文。文章主要講述作者通過質疑“一加一等于二”，強調數(shù)學探索的重要性，鼓勵以好奇心和開放思維來看待數(shù)學問題。
【24題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Math can seem-like a wrld f rules yu just have t fllw, which makes it seem rigid and bring. Whereas my lve f math is smewhat driven — by my lve f breaking rules, r at least pushing against them. Bth f thse impulses (沖動) play an imprtant rle in advancing human understanding f math. (數(shù)學似乎是一個你必須遵守的規(guī)則的世界，這讓它看起來僵化而無聊。而我對數(shù)學的熱愛在一定程度上是由我對打破規(guī)則或至少違反規(guī)則的熱愛所驅動的。這兩種沖動在促進人類對數(shù)學的理解方面都發(fā)揮著重要作用。)”可知，作者認為對數(shù)學規(guī)則的質疑對推動人類對數(shù)學的理解至關重要。因此，質疑數(shù)學規(guī)則是獲得更好洞察的重要途徑。故選A。
【25題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段“Smetimes, ne plus ne can equal mre than tw. Say yu put ne rabbit and anther rabbit tgether. Yu might well end up with a lt f rabbits. Or smetimes, ne plus ne is just ne, like if yu put a pile f sand n tp f anther pile f sand, then yu just get ne pile f sand. (有時，一加一等于二。假設你把一只兔子和另一只兔子放在一起。你最終可能會養(yǎng)很多兔子?；蛘哂袝r，一加一就是一，就像你把一堆沙子放在另一堆沙子上，那么你只會得到一堆沙子。)”可知，第五段具體提到了“1+1=2”的例外情況。故選B。
【26題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第七段“By explring different ways t think abut smething, we gain a deeper understanding f that thing and have mre ways t check that what we’re ding is secure.(通過探索不同的思考方式，我們對事物有了更深入的理解，并有更多的方法來檢查我們所做的事情是否安全)”和第八段“The slidity f math cmes frm nt wanting t trust things, but wanting t jump and swing and knw that ur framewrk will hld up. (數(shù)學的堅固性來自于不想信任事物，而是想跳躍和搖擺，知道我們的框架會站得住腳。)”可知，作者認為以這種方式接觸數(shù)學能夠確保我們的問題解決方法是可靠的。因此，以作者建議的方式接觸數(shù)學可以促進可靠的解決問題。故選C。
【27題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Why des ne plus ne equal tw? (為什么一加一等于二？)”和最后一段“I hpe that we will start seeing mathematics as a place t pse questins and explre answers. (我希望我們將開始把數(shù)學視為一個提出問題和探索答案的地方。)”可知，文章討論了簡單問題如何引導我們深入理解數(shù)學的本質。因此，本文最有可能出自Hw Simple Questins Lead Us t Math’s Deepest Truths 一書。故選C。
C
If a stranger ffered yu a free ckie, yu might well cat it. But what if they ffered t als give yu $2? Yu might plitely decline and walk away thinking, “Smething smells fishy.”
In a study published in Persnality and Scial Psychlgy Bulletin, researchers fund that peple tend t turn dwn ffers f “free mney,” as well as unusually cheap services, because they seem “t gd t be true.”
In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent f participants ate a ckie ffered freely — cmpared with abut 20percent f thse ffered $2 as well. “Peple typically imagine things like sme ne did smething disgusting t the ckie,” says study lead authr Andrew J. Vnasch, a psychlgical scientist at the University f Canterbury in NewZealand.
Nine further experiments used nline questinnaires t present ther cases. These included being ffered mney t accept a ride hme and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshld (門檻), higher ptential mnetary gain reduced participants’ likelihd f accepting the ffer.
Vnasch says the study illustrates that cntrary t the “standard ecnmic mdel,” which suppses humans always seek t maximize gains, transactins (交易) need t als be understd as scial interactins between peple trying t understand each ther’s minds.
If smene seems t vilate accepted nrms, such as self-interest, withut any explanatin, we assume they have hidden mtives and infer there will be “phantm csts”, imagined cnsequences that reduce what Vnasch calls an ffer’s “psychlgical value,” Factrs beynd the present mment may cme int play. “Understanding that thers’ perceived vergenersity may put us in their debt culd als help explain peple’s reluctance,” says Vnasch.
The researchers als shwed hw t mitigate (減輕) the effect: simply prvide a reasn fr the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a cnditin where the seats were revealed t be very uncmfrtable. “Uncmfrtable seats aren’t typically a selling pint,” Vnasch says. “But telling peple the seats were uncmfrtable made them mre willing t take them because it was sufficient explanatin.”
28. Why might peple reject an ffer f $2 alng with a free ckie?
A. They dislike a mney-related ffer.B. They distrust the true value f the ffer.
C. They think the ffer is nt gd enugh.D. They suspect the ffer nly lasts a shrt time.
29. What aspect f the nine further experiments is intrduced in Paragraph 4?
A. The mral cncerns.B. The research methd.
C. The experiments’ duratin.D. The participants’ backgrund.
30. Which psychlgical factr best explains the findings f the study?
A. Fearful f “phantm csts”.B. Afraid f vilating scial nrms.
C. Cmmitted t the standard ecnmic mdel.D. Uncncerned abut an ffer’s “psychlgical value”
31. Why des the authr mentin the “cheap flights” experiment?
A. T stress the unpredictability f human chices.
B. T illustrate hw hidden mtives affect peple’s chices.
C. T emphasize the imprtance f prviding clear examples.
D. T shw giving justificatins can increase acceptance f ffers.
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【導語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了為什么人們會拒絕看似過于慷慨的優(yōu)惠或免費贈品，探討了經(jīng)濟學和心理學之間的聯(lián)系。
【28題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“In a study published in Persnality and Scial Psychlgy Bulletin, researchers fund that peple tend t turn dwn ffers f “free mney,” as well as unusually cheap services, because they seem “t gd t be true.”(在《個性與社會心理學公報》上發(fā)表的一項研究中，研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，人們傾向于拒絕“免費的錢”，以及異常便宜的服務，因為它們看起來“好得令人難以置信”)”可知，人們會拒絕2美元外加一塊免費餅干的提議是因為他們不相信這份提議的真正價值。故選B。
【29題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)第四段“Nine further experiments used nline questinnaires t present ther cases. These included being ffered mney t accept a ride hme and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshld (門檻), higher ptential mnetary gain reduced participants’ likelihd f accepting the ffer.(另外九項實驗使用在線問卷來呈現(xiàn)其他情況。其中包括給錢讓他搭車回家，以及便宜得驚人的機票。在每一種情況下，超過一定的門檻，更高的潛在金錢收益降低了參與者接受提議的可能性)”可知，第4段介紹了九個進一步實驗的研究方法。故選B。
【30題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“If smene seems t vilate accepted nrms, such as self-interest, withut any explanatin, we assume they have hidden mtives and infer there will be “phantm csts”, imagined cnsequences that reduce what Vnasch calls an ffer’s “psychlgical value,” Factrs beynd the present mment may cme int play. “Understanding that thers’ perceived vergenersity may put us in their debt culd als help explain peple’s reluctance,” says Vnasch.(如果有人似乎違反了公認的規(guī)范，比如自利，而沒有任何解釋，我們就會假設他們有隱藏的動機，并推斷會有“幻影成本”，想象的后果會降低Vnasch所說的提議的“心理價值”，超出當前時刻的因素可能會起作用。Vnasch說：“理解別人的過度慷慨可能會讓我們欠他們的債，這也有助于解釋人們的不情愿?！?”可知，害怕“幻影成本”這一因素解釋了這一現(xiàn)象。故選A。
【31題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“The researchers als shwed hw t mitigate (減輕) the effect: simply prvide a reasn fr the deal.(研究人員還展示了如何減輕這種影響：簡單地提供一個交易的理由)”以及““Uncmfrtable seats aren’t typically a selling pint,” Vnasch says. “But telling peple the seats were uncmfrtable made them mre willing t take them because it was sufficient explanatin.”(“不舒服的座位通常不是賣點，”沃納什說?！暗嬖V人們座位不舒服會讓他們更愿意坐，因為這是一個充分的解釋?！?”可知，作者提到“廉價航班”實驗是為了表明給出理由可以增加提議的接受度。故選D。
D
The missin is simple. Arrive n freign sil, fit in and wait. Then, when the time is right, emerge frm the shadws and take ver. This prcedure, familiar frm spy fictin as the preserve f sleeper agents, is als the strategy f certain invasive plant species.
Invasive species that stay put, knwn as sleeper species, are nt hard-wired t d s. Their natural tendency t expand is, instead, held back by sme external factr. With the climate rapidly changing, Bethany Bradley at the University f Massachusetts wndered whether alteratins in temperature and rainfall had the ptential t activate sme sleeper species. As she reprts in a paper in Bilgical Inuvasins, the answer is a definitive yes.
Dr Bradley and her team came t their cnclusins by studying 1,795 plant species in nrth-eastern America identifiable as freign but nt yet lcally listed as invasive. Of these, 169 were unquestinably demnstrating invasive behaviur in ther parts f the wrld, and causing damage t their envirnment. That suggested they had the capacity t cause similar damage in America t.
T determine whether the cnditins cming t the regin wuld activate any f the set 169, the researchers first identified the cnditins under which these species wuld thrive (旺盛). A number f the plants n their list were held back by the cld winters that are less and less cmmn in the regin. They als fund that sme ther species required mre rainfall than is typical.

【解析】
【導語】這是一篇說明文。文章介紹了氣候變化如何激活沉睡的入侵植物物種，預示這些物種可能對環(huán)境和經(jīng)濟產(chǎn)生嚴重影響，并建議提前采取措施。
【32題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容以及“Arrive n freign sil, fit in and wait. Then, when the time is right, emerge frm the shadws and take ver. This prcedure, familiar frm spy fictin as the preserve f sleeper agents, is als the strategy f certain invasive plant species.”（到達外國的土地，適應和等待。然后，當時機成熟時，從陰影中走出來，接管一切。這一過程在間諜小說中很常見，就像潛伏特工的保護一樣，也是某些入侵植物物種的策略。）可知, sleeper species的策略是在等待適宜的條件才活躍起來。因此選C。
【33題詳解】
詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第二段“Their natural tendency t expand is, instead, held back by sme external factr.”（相反，它們擴張的自然趨勢被一些外部因素所抑制。）可知，這些物種本能地傾向于擴展，雖然這種傾向被外部因素所抑制，hard-wired 在這里指的是“與生俱來的，固有的”。故選D項。
【34題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“Of these,169 were unquestinably demnstrating invasive behaviur in ther parts f the wrld, and causing damage t their envirnment.

【35題詳解】
推理判斷題。從最后一段“The mst practical curse f actin,in her view,is t seek these sleeper species ut befre they are able t spread.”（在她看來，最實際的做法是在這些潛伏物種傳播之前將其消滅。）可知，Dr Bradley建議在這些物種有機會擴散之前就將其發(fā)現(xiàn)并清除，說明“預防勝于治療”是應對睡眠物種的最佳策略。故選B項。

Next time yu ask ChatGPT fr a cake recipe, cnsider hw much cmputing pwer yu’re using: On atypical day, the artificial intelligence chatbt handles an estimated 195 millin queries, cnsuming enugh electricity t supply 23,000 US husehlds.
Will this huge energy appetite weaken effrts t cmbat climate change? T the cntrary, it can and shuld be utilized t speed the green transitin.
It’s easy t envisin hw things culd g wrng. In the US, pwer-hungry AI applicatins are already adding t strains n electricity grids (電網(wǎng)).
There’s als a mre psitive scenari (情況). The users and wners f data centers are amng the wrld’s largest cmpanies, with sufficient cash, lng strategic hrizns and public cmmitments t the envirnment. Wh better t drive the tens f trillins f dllars in investment required t build clean generatin, enhance pwer grids and achieve net-zer emissins?
T an encuraging extent, it’s already happening. Tech cmpanies have lng been tp buyers f renewable energy, and lately they’ve breathed life int technlgies. The mre they invest, the mre they’ll help innvatins reach ecnmies f scale, lwering the cst f clean energy fr everyne.
What, then, can plicymakers d? The best apprach wuld be a tax n carbn emissins. This wuld encurage investment in clean energy, help displace fssil fuel generatin and prmte mre innvatin. Beynd that, the authrities wh apprve new data centers shuld be mre selective. They shuld require, fr example, that wners invest in added clean energy capacity that can supply the grid when needed.
T be sure, data prcessing isn’t necessarily the biggest challenge f the green transitin; by ne estimate, it accunted fr less than 2% f glbal electricity demand in 2022. Grwth frecasts ften prve wrng, and technlgical breakthrughs can change the picture. Yet the need fr cleaner energy culd hardly be clearer. Even if Al turns ut t be a bubble (泡沫), let it be a bubble with benefits.

【答案】The rapid grwth f AI, including tls like ChatGPT, raises cncerns abut its substantial energy cnsumptin. While AI applicatins increase pressure n electricity grids, they present a prmising pprtunity fr imprvement. It is majr tech cmpanies, which lead in renewable energy investment, that can facilitate the shift t clean energy while fstering technlgical advancements. What plicymakers shuld d is supprt this by taxing carbn emissins and requiring that new datacenters cmmit t clean energy. Let AI advance sustainability.
【解析】
【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹說，人工智能的快速發(fā)展，包括ChatGPT等工具，引發(fā)了人們對其大量能源消耗的擔憂。雖然人工智能應用增加了電網(wǎng)的壓力，但它們提供了一個有希望的改進機會。只有引領可再生能源投資的大型科技公司，才能在促進技術進步的同時，促進向清潔能源的轉變。政策制定者應該做的是通過對碳排放征稅和要求新的數(shù)據(jù)中心承諾使用清潔能源來支持這一點。讓人工智能推動可持續(xù)發(fā)展。

①Next time yu ask ChatGPT fr a cake recipe, cnsider hw much cmputing pwer yu’re using: On atypical day, the artificial intelligence chatbt handles an estimated 195 millin queries, cnsuming enugh electricity t supply 23,000 US husehlds. Will this huge energy appetite weaken effrts t cmbat climate change?
②In the US, pwer-hungry AI applicatins are already adding t strains n electricity grids (電網(wǎng)). Wh better t drive the tens f trillins f dllars in investment required t build clean generatin, enhance pwer grids and achieve net-zer emissins?
③Tech cmpanies have lng been tp buyers f renewable energy, and lately they’ve breathed life int technlgies. The mre they invest, the mre they’ll help innvatins reach ecnmies f scale, lwering the cst f clean energy fr everyne.
④What, then, can plicymakers d? The best apprach wuld be a tax n carbn emissins. This wuld encurage investment in clean energy, help displace fssil fuel generatin and prmte mre innvatin. Beynd that, the authrities wh apprve new data centers shuld be mre selective. They shuld require, fr example, that wners invest in added clean energy capacity that can supply the grid when needed. Even if Al turns ut t be a bubble (泡沫), let it be a bubble with benefits.

3.遣詞造句
The rapid grwth f AI, including tls like ChatGPT, raises cncerns abut its substantial energy cnsumptin.
While AI applicatins increase pressure n electricity grids, they present a prmising pprtunity fr imprvement.
It is majr tech cmpanies, which lead in renewable energy investment, that can facilitate the shift t clean energy while fstering technlgical advancements.
What plicymakers shuld d is supprt this by taxing carbn emissins and requiring that new datacenters cmmit t clean energy. Let AI advance sustainability.
【點睛】[高分句型1] While AI applicatins increase pressure n electricity grids, they present a prmising pprtunity fr imprvement.運用while引導讓步狀語從句對原文第三段和第四段進行了概括。
[高分句型2] What plicymakers shuld d is supprt this by taxing carbn emissins and requiring that new datacenters cmmit t clean energy.用what引導主語從句倒數(shù)第二段進行了概括，表達非常高級。
