Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly gd at fling peple. In March, a series f phts shwing frmer US president Dnald Trump being arrested by plice caught peple’s attentin. They were fake but very cnvincing.
Created by the AI prgram Midjurney, the phts were highly realistic, frm the characters’ mvements t the surrundings. Hwever, many details can give away the fact that they are made by AI. As sme experts have warned, the main idea is t spt anything that wuld lk strange in a pht.
AI sftware has a histry f generating human hands incrrectly. It smetimes can create hands with mre than five fingers. This is because AI isn’t sure what a “hand” exactly is. The data AI uses t learn ften shw hands and fingers in varius gestures, which can be very cnfusing fr AI.
AI-generated images als usually cntain details that g against reality. T spt this, fcus n items like accessries. Fr example, peple in an image may be missing earrings r ne part f their sunglasses. If there’s text in an image, such as a newspaper r pster, it’s usually garbled (篡改), even thugh the text may lk realistic frm a distance.
Anther thing AI is terrible at handling is the backgrund. If there’s a crwd in the image, peple’s faces in the backgrund are usually blurry—r they dn’t have faces at all!
The develpment f AI-generated art als raises alarm bells abut hw these fake images culd be used t spread misinfrmatin. “I think misinfrmatin is ging t hit an all-time high,” Jamie Chen, a digital culture and AI expert in the US, tld New Yrk Pst. Generating an AI artwrk is t “create reality”, Chen argued, adding that being able t tell whether the wrk is real r nt requires high media literacy skills. “The wrld may nt be ready fr hw realistic the images have becme,” said Shane Kittelsn, a US researcher.
24．Hw culd peple recgnize that a pht is made by AI, accrding t the experts?
A．By analyzing the surce f the pht.
B．By learning yur friends’ tips frm time t time.
C．By finding ut the details that lk strange in the pht.
D．By ging t the scene fr themselves.
25．Why des AI generate human hands incrrectly accrding t the text?
A．It hasn’t enugh data abut human hands.
B．It is unable t recgnize human hands.
C．It desn’t fully understand human hands.
D．The data it uses t learn cntain errrs.
26．What is AI terrible at handling accrding t the article?
A．Facial expressins.B．Texts and symbls.
C．Items f clthing.D．Backgrund details.
27．What is Jamie Chen’s attitude twards AI-generated art at present?
A．wrriedB．defensiveC．supprtiveD．indifferent

Last winter I enjyed a brief adventure in Guatemala. Over a perid f 12 days, I explred thrugh the jungle t watch the sunrise and danced in the street during the hliday parade. But lking back n that trip, what I remember mst vividly is a New Year’s Eve in Guatemala City, at a lifeless htel. Rather than a cuntdwn t midnight, I cunted dwn the hurs until my departure.
Nthing special happened during that night. Rather, the big rle this htel plays in my memries can be explained by a psychlgical principle called the recency effect. “The recency effect helps t accunt fr ur tendency t remember the ending part f a sequence f events with far mre clarity than the rest, ” said Dr. Mary Pffenrth, a bipsychlgist.
She says it arises frm ur shrt-term memry’s inability t hld n t mre than a small amunt f infrmatin at nce. S while there is n magic frmula t create lvely travel memries, emplying the recency effect can turn a gd trip int an unfrgettable ne.
Dr. Stephanie, a Neurscientist, says that while yu can strategically set ff the recency effect at a trip’s end, yu may have multiple pprtunities t create lasting memries all alng the way by breaking it up int smaller chunks.
Keep in mind that the recency effect can als backfire. “Ending an amazing trip with stressful flight delays, lst luggage r feeling unwell might be enugh t vershadw the entire experience, resulting in remembering the trip as awful instead f jyful, ” Stephanie said.
T avid disprprtinately (不成比例地)sptlighting the final days, Pffenrth has created a trick: She amplifies (增强) earlier days in a trip t keep her memries well-runded. “I cllect little bits that will remind me f that day: a subway ticket, a seashell, a cardbard drink with a pub’ s lg n it. ” Then, as she is packing n the last day, “I g thrugh all my little fund treasures and spend a few mments recalling each ne, ” she said. “This gives me a sense f clsure fr that chapter f travel and makes the experience memrable. ”
28．Hw did the authr feel abut the New Year’s Eve in Guatemala City?
A．It was bring.B．It was eventful.
C．It was relaxing.D．It was cheerful.
29．What d we knw abut the recency effect frm paragraph 2?
A．It is based n a psychlgical principle.
B．It is widely used t create lvely memries.
C．It highlights the final part f a series f events.
D．It makes up fr the inability f shrt-term memry.
30．What des the underlined wrd “backfire” mean in paragraph 4?
A．Be avided t sme extent.B．Be applied extensively.
C．Prduce undesirable cnsequences.D．Pse unexpected challenges.
31．Accrding t Pffenrth, which f the fllwing may help travelers have gd memries?
A．Share travel experiences.B．Recall the final days f a jurney.
C．Purchase as many suvenirs as pssible.D．Purpsely gather reminders f a jurney.

Accrding t new research, babies are nt nly capable f creative thinking well befre starting t speak, but this srt f thinking may be imprtant fr language learning.
In the study, the researchers set ut t explre the rigins f human creativity and prductive thinking t try t find ut hw peple arrive at cmpletely new thughts and ideas. They fund that babies were able t very quickly learn new wrds that describe small quantities and cmbine these with familiar wrds t fully understand a phrase.
Lead researcher, Dr. Barbara Pmiechwska, said: “Human creativity is limitless: it has taken us t the mn and allwed us t cure deadly diseases — but despite its imprtance, we dn’t yet knw when and hw this impressive ability t cmbine ideas and invent new things appears. This research shws that we must g right back t the beginning f language learning t slve this puzzle. ”
In the study, the researchers wrked with 60 babies, all arund the age f 12 mnths. They started by teaching the babies tw nvel wrds describing quantity: “mize”, t mean “ne”, and “padu”, t mean “tw”.
Then the babies were asked t cmbine these new number wrds with different bject names, fr example t identify “padu ducks” frm sme pictures. By teaching nvel wrds t represent quantities, the researchers were able t test the babies’ ability t cmbine cncepts in real time, rather than simply recall cmbinatins f wrds that they already knew frm previus experience.
By using eye-tracking technlgy t mnitr where the babies lk, the researchers were able t shw that the babies culd successfully cmbine the tw cncepts t understand what they were being asked abut.
Accrding t Dr. Barbara, this ability t cmbine different cncepts is likely t help babies nt nly t understand the language input, but als t learn abut different aspects f the physical and scial wrld.
32．What puzzle did the researchers want t slve?
A．The rigin f creative thinking.B．The ways t cure deadly diseases.
C．The limitatins f creative thinking.D．The imprtance f language acquisitin.
33．What were the babies asked t d in the study?
A．Create nvel wrds.B．Cunt numbers in rder.
C．Pint ut the number they knew.D．Match bjects with what they heard.
34．What did the researchers use in the study?
A．Previus data.B．Advanced technlgy.
C．Prfessinal cncepts.D．Regular examinatins.
35．What is this passage mainly abut?
A．Human creativity is limitless.B．Children’s learning ability varies.
C．Children are gd at creating wrds.D．Human creative thinking starts very early.

“Friends t the end!” Breana had signed the picture f us that hung n my bedrm wall. Her handwritten prmise carried the jy we had shared, and laughter filled the rm.
It felt like Breana and I had been best friends frever. Since the day we met n the first day f senir high schl， we had been inseparable. She enjyed utdr sprts, and I lved dancing. We did almst everything tgether. When the tryut ntice fr the cheerleading team came up, Breana encuraged me t give it a sht Initially, I resisted her suggestin, calling her crazy, but deep dwn, I trusted her and secretly wanted t give it a try. Breana saw my hidden desire and prmised t supprt me fully. She attended all the practices and even spent tw weeks caching me in her backyard. Finally, with a perfect perfrmance, I successfully made it nt the cheerleading team. Regrettably, Breana failed t make the team due t physical discmfrt.
Hwever, things began t change. After-schl training tk up mst f my time, and ur usual al get-tgethers were delayed r canceled. Slwly but surely, we began t grw apart. A heated argument finally erupted when I refused Breana’s invitatin t g hiking.

Changes arund me
As ur cuntry celebrates its 75th anniversary, I’ve nticed remarkable changes arund me in recent years.
High-speed trains have made travel mre cnvenient than ever befre, and we can nw reach faraway places in just a few hurs. Additinally, the widespread use f mbile payment has revlutinized the way we shp and pay fr services. Envirnmental awareness has als grwn, with mre peple pting fr ec-friendly lifestyles t prtect ur planet.
These changes have nt nly made ur lives mre cmfrtable and efficient but have als made me prud f ur natin’s prgress. I believe that as lng as we cntinue t innvate and imprve, ur future will be even brighter.
67．As I arrived at the scene, I saw Breana sitting there in pain. Her ankle was twisted at an dd angle, and tears streamed dwn her cheeks. The sight f my best friend in distress sent a wave f guilt crashing ver me. All the arguments and misunderstandings faded int the backgrund as I knelt beside her. “Breana, I’m s srry. I shuld have been there fr yu,” I said, my vice trembling with emtin. I gently examined her ankle, wishing I culd take her pain away.
At my wrds, she hugged me tightly. “I knew yu wuld cme,” she whispered thrugh her tears. In that mment, I realized hw much I had taken ur friendship fr granted. We had bth been s caught up in ur wn lives that we frgt the imprtance f supprting each ther thrugh thick and thin. “I’m here nw, and I’ll always be here,” I reassured her, feeling a sense f warmth return t my heart. We wuld rebuild ur friendship, ne step at a time, starting with this mment.
