B.Regretfulandreflective.C.Angryandblaming. D.Hopefulandpositive.【答案】24.A25.C26.D27.B【解析】【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者因患有1型糖尿病需要定期取药，但由于当地药店服务混乱以及药品短缺等问题，导致作者多次取药不顺，最终在药店爆发情绪大喊大叫。虽然事后问题得到解决，但作者对此深感羞愧，并对自己的行为表示歉意。【24题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中“It’sateachingpharmacysotheserviceisabitdisorganized,asstudentstrytolearntheirwayaroundthesystems.(这是一个教学药房，所以服务有点混乱，因为学生们试图在系统中学习)”可知，作者提到药店是一个教学药店是为了解释服务上的不顺畅和混乱。故选A。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“Recently,ithasbeenparticularlybad.Therewasanationwideshortageofoneofmyregularmedicines,andsoeachtimeIwenttopickupaprescription,itwasn’tavailable.

(最近，情况尤其糟糕。我的一种常用药物在全国范围内短缺，所以每次我去拿处方，都买不到)”可知，作者需要的其中一种药品药店没有供应。故选C。【26题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“Therealityisthatbyshouting,thesituationwasfixed—thepharmacistreappearedfromtheirlunchbreakandIhaven’thadaproblemgettingmyprescriptionquicklysince.

(事实上，通过大喊大叫，问题得到了解决——药剂师从午休中回来了，从那以后我一直能迅速拿到处方药)”可知，作者在药店大喊大叫后，药剂师回来了，她的问题得到了解决。故选D。【27题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Sometimesweshout;sometimeswehaveto.Andifyouwereonthereceivingend,thenI’msorry.Itprobablywasn’tanythingtodowithyou:itwasjustascaredpersonatthebottomoftheirmentalwelltryingtobeheard.(有时候我们会大喊大叫；有时候我们不得不这样做。如果你是接受的那一方，那么我很抱歉。这可能与你无关：只是一个处于心理低谷的害怕的人试图被听到)可知，作者在反思自己过去的行为，并对可能给别人带来的困扰表示歉意，因此语气是后悔和反思的。故选B。CTheIgNobelPrizes,establishedin1991,areanamusingalternativetothedistinguishedNobelPrizes,honoringresearchthat“makespeoplelaugh,thenthink.”Thenameisacleverwordplayon“ignoble,”meaningsomethinglackinghonor,reflectingthehumorousandunconventionalnatureofthediscoveries.However,beneaththefoolishnessoftenliesgreatscientificvalue,showingthatcuriositycanleadtosignificantunderstanding,evenfromseeminglyinsignificantquestions.Theprizesdrawattentiontoarangeofoddbutfascinatingstudies.In2024,someresearcherswereawardedfordemonstratingthatrealplantscancopytheappearanceofartificialonestheyareplantedalongside,revealingtheremarkableadaptabilityofnature.Another2024studydemonstratedthatdeadfishcanswimupstreambyusingenergyfromfast-movingwatercurrents,whichcouldinspireenergy-efficientdesignsinengineering.Additionally,aprobabilityexperimentinvolvingmorethan350,000cointhrowsrevealedthatathrowncoinismorelikelytolandonthesideitstartedfrom,offeringunexpectedunderstandingintochanceandprobability.Inpreviousyears,similarlyquirkystudieshavebeenhonored.In2004,oneoftheIgNobelPrizeswasawardedtoJillianClarke.Sheinvestigatedthescientificsoundnessofthe“five-secondrule,”apopularbeliefthatfooddroppedonthefloorisstillsafetoeatifpickedupwithinfiveseconds.Some2006IgNobelPrizewinnersfoundthatfemalemalariamosquitoes（蚊子）areequallyattractedtothesmellofhumanfeetandLimburgercheese.Thisresearch,whichwontheBiologyPrize,suggeststhattheseodorscouldbeusedtodevelopinnovativemosquitocontrolmethods.Heldannuallyinmid-September,aroundthetimetherealNobelPrizesareannounced,theIgNobelPrizeceremonyisauniquemixtureofhumorandscience,whererealNobelPrizewinnerspresenttheawards.Theeventcontainsanumberofrunningjokes,includingMissSweetiePoo,alittlegirlwhorepeatedlycriesout“Pleasestop,I’mbored”,ifspeakersgoontoolong.Paperairplanesaretraditionallythrownbytheaudience,addingtothefunnynatureoftheevent.28.WhatisthemainpurposeoftheIgNobelPrizes?A.ToprovideanalternativetothetraditionalNobelPrizes.B.Torecognizeresearchthatispurelyhumorous.C.Torecognizehumorousscienceresearch.D.Toawardthesmallestscientificstudies.29.Whatdoesthestudyofcointhrowingreveal?A.Possibilitycannotbepredictedwithcertainty.B.Humanbeliefinfluencestheprobabilityofaresult.C.Theendresultisalwaysuncertain,witha50/50chance.D.Coinstendtolandonthesidetheystartfrom.30.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“quirky”inparagraph3probablymean?A.Unusualorunconventional.

(这些人担心人工智能可能变得无法控制，威胁到人类的生存。)”可知，像霍金、马斯克和盖茨这样的人对人工智能的发展感到担忧的是，他们害怕AI可能会脱离人类控制并危及人类的生存。他们担心AI变得不可控，对人类构成威胁。故选B。【34题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Kurzweilsupportshisviewpointwithexistingtechnologies,likebrainimplantsusedtotreatParkinson’sdisease(帕金森病）,suggestingthattheintegrationprocessisalreadyinprogress.

(库兹韦尔用现有的技术来支持他的观点，比如用于治疗帕金森病的大脑植入物，这表明整合过程已经在进行中。)”可知，库兹韦尔提到用于治疗帕金森病的脑植入物是为了表明人机融合的过程已经开始。他通过这一现有技术来支持自己的观点，即人类与机器的融合正在进行中。故选A。【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Perhapshismostsignificantpredictionisthatthesingularity(奇点)willbereachedby2045,markingthepointatwhichhumanintelligencefullyintegrateswithAIandsignificantlyimprovesourmentalcapabilities.(他或许最为重要的预测是，到2045年将会达到“奇点”，这标志着人类智能将完全与人工智能融合，并显著提升我们的心智能力。)”以及通读全文，文章主要围绕库兹韦尔对未来人工智能发展的预测展开，特别是他关于2045年达到“奇点”的预测，即人类智能与AI完全融合的时间点。因此，C选项“Kurzweil’sPrediction:Singularityby2045(库兹韦尔预测：2045年将出现奇点)”最能概括文章的主旨。故选C。第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，共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。Nowadays,intheageofround-the-clockentertainment,it’shardertobebored.Iftheshowyou’rewatchinghaslostitsspark,youcanselectanalternativeinstantly.___36___Feelingboredwiththetaskinhanddoeshaveitsbenefits.___37___Feelingboredatwork,forexample,couldinspireyoutoexploreachangeofcareer.Orifyoudecidethere’snothingworthwatchingonTV,youmightchoosetoswitchoffandmakeyourownentertainmentbytakingupanewhobby.___38___Thisdrivetofindinterestingactivitiescanleadtoariseincreativity.What’sthepointofdaydreaming?WithoutsocialmediaorTV,wemayfallbackondaydreaming.Despitewhatparentsandteachersmayhavetoldyou,daydreamingisgoodforyou.Lettingyourthoughtswanderwithoutthedistractionsoftechnologycanbeausefulwayto“allowyourmindtorelax,relievestress,developingyourcreativityintheprocess,”writestheUniversityofCentralLancashire’sDrSandiMann.___39___Arewemoreeasilyborednowadays?Still,whydaydreamatthebusstopwhenyoucansimplyscrollthroughyourphone?Forstarters,spendingeverysparemomentstaringatascreencanhaveanegativeeffectonyourmentalwell-being,sleepqualityandeyesight.Butthat’snotall.___40___Eventually,westarttolosetheabilitytoentertainothersandfindwaystodosomethinglessboring.Whisperit:Weruntheriskofbecomingboringourselves.A.Doesboredommakeusmorecreative?B.Butthat’snotnecessarilyagoodthing.C.Whydon’tyoudosomethinglessboring?D.Anewshowislaunchedtokeepchildrenentertained.E.Beingboredinspiresyoutosearchoutsomethinglessboringtodo.F.Itmeansyoubecomelessabletothinkcreati
