I was traveling with my husband and three teenage sns in the United States. We rdered ur fd at a fast-fd place, and with my meal I als
wanted a blueberry pie. My husband is the chatty ne in the family and likes t scialize, s he started a cnversatin abut the place where blueberries
grw with the waitress. She answered, with sme anxiety, “They grw n trees.”
The whle family’s jaws drpped! Hw culd this girl nt knw where blueberries grw? We tried nt t embarrass her, and just tk the
pprtunity t teach her a little abut hw blueberries grw, n small shrubs (灌木) n the grund. She seemed t appreciate learning smething new.

We can’t knw all the same things, as yu'll see frm the next thing I'm ging t tell yu.
In 2002 ur family made a shrt trip t a cffee plantatin. The rad t the plantatin was narrw, filled with sharp bends. I wrried abut hitting
anther car. We didn’t, lucky us! When we finally gt t ur destinatin, we learned a lt abut the plantatin and cffee prductin, but we didn’t
see any cffee plants. Where were they? We decided t ask ne f the peple wrking there. “S where are the cffee plants? We can’t see them
anywhere.”
She reached ut her arm and caught a twig (细枝) right next t us and explained, “This is the cffee plant and these little things will be cffee
beans.” I lked arund in embarrassment, as we were surrunded by cffee plants! She explained that cffee plants aren’t big and that they have t
grw in the shade f ther bigger plants. I appreciated her lessn.
We lve ur cffee, but I’m sure mst f my cuntrymen wuld nt be able t recgnize a cffee plant amng ther trpical plants if asked. Our
jaws can drp at different things, depending n gegraphical lcatins, at what we knw and dn’t knw. Never take anything fr granted!
【小题1】By saying “The whle family’s jaws drpped!”, the authr means that ________.
A．the waitress was extremely ignrant
B．the waitress gave the strangest answer
C．the whle family was greatly surprised
D．the whle family had prblems with their muths
【小题2】Which f the fllwing best describes the waitress?

C．Self-centered.
D．Stubbrn.
【小题3】What can we learn abut the blueberry plant and the cffee plant?

Imagine this. Yu need an image f a balln fr a wrk presentatin and turn t an AI text-t- image generatr, like Midjurney r DALL-E, t
create a suitable image. Yu enter the prmpt (提示词) “red balln against a blue sky” but the generatr returns an image f an egg instead.
What’s ging n? The generatr yu’re using may have been “pisned”. What des this mean? Text-t-image generatrs wrk by being
trained n large datasets that include millins r billins f images. Sme f the generatrs have been trained by indiscriminately scraping nline
images, many f which may be under . This has led t many cpyright infringement (侵害) cases where artists have accused big tech cmpanies
f stealing and prfiting frm their wrk.
This is als where the idea f “pisn” cmes in. Researchers wh want t empwer individual artists have recently created a tl named
“Nightshade” t fight back against unauthrised image scraping. The tl wrks by slightly altering an image’s pixels (像素) in a way that cnfuses
the cmputer visin system but leaves the image unaltered t a human’s eyes. If an rganizatin then scrapes ne f these images t train a future AI
mdel, its data pl becmes “pisned”. This can result in mistaken learning, which makes the generatr return unintended results. As in ur earlier
example, a balln might becme an egg.
The higher the number f “pisned” images in the training data, the greater the impact. Because f hw generative AI wrks, the damage frm
“pisned” images als affects related prmpt keywrds. Fr example, if a “pisned” image f a Picass wrk is used in training data, prmpt
results fr masterpieces frm ther artists can als be affected.
Pssibly, tls like Nightshade can be abused by sme users t intentinally uplad “pisned” images in rder t cnfuse AI generatrs. But the
Nightshade’s develper hpes the tl will make big tech cmpanies mre respectful f . It des challenge a cmmn belief amng cmputer
scientists that data fund nline can be used fr any purpse they see fit.
Human rights activists, fr example, have been cncerned fr sme time abut the indiscriminate use f machine visin in wider sciety. This
cncern is particularly serius cncerning facial recgnitin. There is a clear cnnectin between facial recgnitin cases and data pisning, as bth
relate t larger questins arund technlgical gvernance. It may be better t see data pisning as an innvative slutin t the denial f sme
fundamental human rights.
【小题1】The underlined wrd “scraping” (para. 2) is clsest in meaning t ____.
A．facilitating
B．cllecting
C．damaging
D．plishing
【小题2】Accrding t the passage, adding pisned data might ____.
A．increase the accuracy f returned infrmatin

B．cause users t frget the prmpt key wrds
C．interfere with the training f generative AI
D．discriminate against great masterpieces
【小题3】What can be inferred frm the last tw paragraphs?
A．Data pisning is smehw justified t direct attentin t human rights.
B．Cmputer scientists has learned t respect the f mst artists.
C．Nightshade is being abused by human rights activists t recgnize faces.
D．The issue f technlgical gvernance has arused the lawyers’ interest.
【小题4】Which f the fllwing might be the best title f the passage?
A．Data Pisning: Gvernment Empwering Citizens t Prtect Themselves
B．Data Pisning: Addressing Facial Recgnitin Issues Amng Artists
C．Data Pisning: Risks and Rewards f Generative AI Data Training
D．Data Pisning: Restricting Innvatin r Empwering Artists
“We are living in an age fr learning, when there’s s much knwledge available that ne wuld think that this is gd news fr higher educatin,
yet we’ve seen enrllment (入学) in higher educatin drp fr six years.” said Bryan Alexander, wh ften writes abut the future f higher educatin.
Alexander believes that fr sme clleges and universities t survive, they need t shift frm their histrical missin f serving ne type f student
(usually a teenager fresh ut f high schl) fr a specific perid f time. “We’re ging t see many different ways thrugh higher educatin in the
future,” Alexander said, “frm clser ties between secndary and pstsecndary schls t new ptins fr adults.”
“The fact is that t maintain affrdability, accessibility and excellence, smething needs t change,” said Rafael Bras, Gergia Tech’s president.
Amng many impressive ideas abut that, three pint t the pssibility f a very different future fr clleges and universities.
1) Cllege fr life, rather than just fur years. The cllege shuld turn itself int a place fr lifelng learning that allws students t “assciate rather
than enrll”. The system that receives students nce in their lives and turns them ut with apprval t becme alums (校友) and cme back n ccasin
and give mney is nt the right mdel fr the future.
2) A netwrk f advisers and caches fr a career. If educatin never ends, neither shuld the critical advising functin that clleges prvide t
students. It’s prmising that artificial intelligence and virtual tutrs will help advise students abut selecting curses and finding the best career
ptins.
3) A distributed presence arund the wrld. Clleges and universities perate campuses and require students t cme t them. In the past cuple f
decades, nline educatin has grwn greatly, but fr the mst part, higher educatin is still abut face-t-face interactins. Why nt blend the tw
wrlds?
Whether the ideas will becme real is, f curse, unclear, but what is clear is that clleges and universities are abut t underg a perid f deep
change — whether they want t r nt — as the needs f students and the ecnmy shift.
【小题1】The underlined wrd “blend” can be best replaced with ________.
A．distribute
B．split
C．cnnect
D．cmbine
【小题2】Which f the fllwing is TRUE accrding t the passage?
A．Enrllment in higher educatin drps because there’s t much knwledge available.
B．The clleges and universities serving ne type f student fr 4 years will disappear sn.
C．Prbably peple wn’t have t g t cllege and university campuses fr higher educatin.
D．Higher educatin has the bligatin t maintain affrdability, accessibility and excellence.
【小题3】We can learn frm the passage that ________.
A．the driving factr f the change in higher educatin is the change in the needs f students and the ecnmy
B．peple will prbably be at cllege all their life rather than just fur years t assciate with their alums
C．artificial intelligence and virtual tutrs will wrk tgether t help students select curses and find best careers
D．clleges and universities are scheduled t underg changes fr a different future whether they want t r nt
【小题4】Which f the fllwing can be the best title f the passage?
A．N Mre Traditinal Higher Educatin
B．Clleges and Universities: Change r Die

C．The Struggle f Higher Educatin
D．Hw t Survive in Clleges and Universities
Tips t help yu vercme peple-pleasing
Cnsidering ther peple’s feelings and treating them with kindness is smething we strive t d.
【小题1】
When this happens, peple-pleasing has crssed the line frm kind and generus t self-abandnment — nt being the authentic self because
we’re afraid thers will disapprve, criticize, r reject us. Here are tips fr yu t vercme such behavirs.
【小题2】
Self-care is a necessity, nt a luxury. It’s nt smething yu d if yu have time r if yu deserve it. Taking care f yur emtinal, mental, spiritual,
and physical needs keeps yu healthy. Withut it, yu’ll get sick, stressed, and irritable. Try putting self-care activities (exercise, scializing, hbbies, etc.)
n yur calendar t ensure that self-care is a pririty.
Nt everyne’s pinin matters.
One big mistake peple-pleasers make is acting as if everyne’s pinin matters equally. Yu dn’t differentiate whse pinin matters mre.
Generally, the clser the relatinship, the mre yu’ll value their pinin and want t please them. Thus, it’s natural t want t d things t make yur
lved nes happy.
【小题3】
Healthy cnflict can imprve relatinships.
Mst peple wrry that painful cnflicts will destry relatinships.
【小题4】
But it’s nt helpful r pssible. When yu avid cnflict, yu
suppress yur feelings and needs. And this causes yu t discnnect frm yurself and frm thers. But healthy cnflict is the ne in which bth parties
can respectfully express themselves.
A．Be aware f yur inner needs.
B．Taking care f yurself isn’t selfish.
【小题5】
This is quite different frm the unhealthy cnflicts.
C．This indicates that we’re Peple-Pleasers.
D．It’s understandable and cmmn t want t avid them.
E．But sacrificing ur wellbeing t make thers happy is nt.
F．Hwever, yu dn’t need t please acquaintances in the same way.
G．It results in greater understanding and ultimately strengthens the relatinship.

Mst peple think that prcrastinatin (拖延症) is a negative habit. But peple like me wh rutinely put ff ding assignments, are likely t defend
ur “slwer” apprach t getting tasks dne.
I'm the nly prcrastinatin in my family. My parents and sister were all brn with the “d it right nw” gift. They are always in a rush, as if clsely
rushed by an invisible deadline. Persnally, I prefer a mre relaxed pace. When my parents viced their cncern abut my tendencies, saying “Dn’t
put ff until tmrrw what yu can d tday,” “N way!” I respnded, cnfidently presenting my research as a defense. It said peple prcrastinated
when they need t slve a prblem r cmmit t a tpic r prject. In these cases, delaying a decisin can be beneficial. This was because ur minds
cntinue t reflect n prblems even when we were nt actively thinking abut them, which culd lead t mre creative slutins. My findings filled me
with satisfactin and pride. My methd f getting things dne was just as gd as my sister’s…r s I thught.
At schl we’d been talking abut architecture and design. As part f the final assessment my teacher Mr. Smith annunced an exciting prject that
each student wuld have a mnth t cmplete. We were expected t chse ur materials, cnstruct a small building and make use f things we had
learned in class. Nt nly wuld the winners receive extra credit, but the winning cnstructins wuld be prudly displayed in the cafeteria. “I have n
clue hw I culd get it dne,” my friend Nate sighed in despair. I didn’t say anything. Nt because I shared his anxiety-but because I was nt nervus
at all. I lved hands-n prjects! Picturing my brilliant wrk exhibited in the cafeteria, I was fully cnvinced that I wuld definitely prduce smething
that culd impress everyne. S relaxed was I that I didn’t give it a secnd thught fr weeks.
