1.

推理判断题。由第一段中的“Thenewswasnotgood.Thereportstatedthatthispastdecadewasthehottestin125,000yearsandthattheatmosphericcarbonlevelsarethehighestinatleast2millionyears.Glaciersaremeltingfasterthananytimeinover2,000years,andoceanlevelsarerisingattwicetheratesince2006.(这消息并不好。报告指出，过去十年是12.5万年来最热的十年，大气中的碳含量是至少200万年来最高的。冰川融化的速度比2000多年来的任何时候都要快，海平面上升的速度是2006年以来的两倍)”可知，IPCC发布的第一份气候科学评估报告里呈现的消息并不好，报告中指出的东西是为了向读者显示气候变化问题很严重。故选C项。

2.

细节理解题。由第二段中的“Atthecurrentpace,theresearchersexpectglobaltemperaturestorisebyatleast1.5°,comparedtopre-industriallevels,withinthenext20years.Thetemperatureincreaseswillresultinsignificantchangestotheplanetˈswatercycle.(按照目前的速度，研究人员预计在未来20年内，全球气温将比工业化前的水平至少上升1.5°。温度升高将导致地球水循环发生重大变化)”可知，全球气温上升可能导致地球水循环的巨大变化。故选A项。

3.

4.

推理判断题。由最后一段中的“However,manyexpertsbelieveitisstillnottoolatetoturnthingsaround,ifweallactnow.Whilegovernmentsneedtodotheirsharebyintroducingandobeystrictercarbonemissionlaws,individualscanalsohelp.(然而，许多专家认为，如果我们现在都采取行动，扭转局面还为时不晚。虽然政府需要通过引入和遵守更严格的碳排放法尽自己的一份力量，但个人也可以提供帮助)”和“Besuretostartdoingyourparttosaveourbeautifulhometoday!(今天一定要为拯救我们美丽的家园尽自己的一份力量！)”可知，作者建议组织和个人现在就要对气候变化立即采取行动，拯救我们的家园。故选D项。12~15.【答案】D、A、C、C【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇科技类说明文，介绍一项新研究指出人工智能可以以惊人的准确性从大脑活动中解码语音，最终帮助世界各地成千上万无法通过语音、打字或手势进行交流的人。

1.

细节理解题。根据第三段“Mostexistingtechnologiestohelpsuchpatientscommunicaterequireriskybrainsurgeriestoputinelectrodes(电极).Thisnewapproach“couldprovideapossiblepathtohelppatientswithcommunicationproblems,avoidingtheuseofsurgeries,”saysneuroscientistJean-RémiKing,aMetaAIresearcher.(大多数现有的帮助这类病人交流的技术都需要进行高风险的脑部手术来植入电极。元人工智能研究人员、神经科学家让-拉西米·金说，这种新方法“可以为有沟通问题的患者提供一条可能的途径，避免使用手术。”)可知，这种新方法的主要优势是可以让病人免于危险的脑部手术。故选D。

3.

推理判断题。根据最后一段的““Thenewstudyisdecodingofspeechrecognition,notproduction,”Kingagrees,“Thoughspeechproductionisthefinalgoal,fornow,weˈrequitealongwayaway.”(“新的研究是解码语音识别，而不是产生语音，”金同意，“虽然语音产生是最终目标，但目前，我们还有很长的路要走。”)”可知，Jean-RémiKing认为新的研究离产生语音这一最终目标还有很长的路要走，有无限前景。故选C。

4.

主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Anartificialintelligencecandecode(解码)wordsandsentencesfrombrainactivitywithsurprisingaccuracy.Usingonlyafewsecondsofbrainactivitydata,theAIguesseswhatapersonhasheard.(人工智能可以以惊人的准确度从大脑活动中解码单词和句子。只需要几秒钟的大脑活动数据，人工智能就能猜测出一个人听到了什么。)”和第二段的“DevelopedattheparentcompanyofFacebook,Meta,theAIcouldeventuallybeusedtohelpthousandsofpeoplearoundtheworldwhoareunabletocommunicatethroughspeech,typingorgestures.(这款人工智能由Facebook的母公司Meta开发，最终可用于帮助全球成千上万无法通过语音、打字或手势进行交流的人。)”可知，本文主要讲的是一项新研究指出人工智能可以以惊人的准确性从大脑活动中解码语音，最终帮助世界各地成千上万无法通过语音、打字或手势进行交流的人，因此C选项“ANewWaytoDecodeSpeech(语音解码的新方法)”是文章最佳标题。故选C。16~20.【答案】G、C、A、B、F【解析】【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些可以保持眼睛健康的建议。

1.

根据上文“Aswithmostgoodthingsinlife,wetendtotakeoureyesightforgrantedrightuntilthepointitstartsgivingustrouble.(与生活中大多数美好的事物一样，我们倾向于认为我们的视力是理所当然的，直到它开始给我们带来麻烦。)”可知，文章开头提到人们通常不重视视力，直到视力出现问题才开始关注。接着下文给出了一些保护视力的建议。G项：Followthefollowingsuggestionstokeepyoureyeshealthy.(按照下面的建议来保持你的眼睛健康。)符合语境。故选G。

2.

根据上文“Youˈdbetterhaveabalanceddiet,whichincludesplentyoffishandleafygreenvegetables,fruits,nuts,andeggs.ThesecontainnutrientssuchasvitaminsCandE.(你最好有一个均衡的饮食，包括大量的鱼和绿叶蔬菜、水果、坚果和鸡蛋。它们含有维生素C和E等营养物质。)”可知，上文提到这些食物含有维生素C和E等营养成分，因此可以推断出这些营养成分对眼睛健康至关重要。C项中的“they”指代上文的“nutrients”。C项：Theyareessentialforeyehealth.(它们对眼睛健康至关重要。)符合语境。故选C。

3.

根据上文“Ifyouˈvebeenwearingglassesfromearlychildhood,youwereprobablytaughthowtotakecareofthem,butyoumayhavegrownlazyandstoppedpayingattentiontotakingcareofyourglasses.(如果你从小就戴眼镜，你可能被教导如何照顾它们，但你可能变得懒惰，不再注意照顾你的眼镜。)”和下文“Wipethelenseswithasoft,cottonclotheveryday,andwashtheglasseswithwarmwaterandgentlesoaptoremovethebacteriaonceeverytwoweeks.Whenyoulaythemdown,makesuretheyˈrefacingupwards,andalwayskeeptheminahardcasewhenyouarenˈtusingthem.(每天用柔软的棉布擦拭镜片，每两周用温水和温和的肥皂清洗一次眼镜，以去除细菌。当你把它们放下时，确保它们面朝上，当你不用它们的时候，总是把它们放在一个坚硬的盒子里。)”可知，上文提到你可能已经变得懒惰，不再注意照顾你的眼镜，而下文则给出了一些如何照顾眼镜的建议。因此，这里需要一个转折词来连接前后文，指出不注意照顾眼镜是一个错误。A项：Andthatˈsamistake.(那是一个错误。)符合语境。故选A。

4.

根据下文“Youalreadyknowthisone,butitbearsrepeating
