（2024·上海宝山·二模）For decades, people have guessed that artificial intelligence (AI)
will eventually replace human workers. But developments in the past few years have 1
these concerns as companies have released AI that can answer questions, write articles and create
images. Now, even people in creative fields must consider the 2 of AI replacing them. But
many experts still insist that these AI programs are no substitute for human ability.
AI programs have the 3 to perform some tasks currently performed by human
workers. These include media jobs, such as writing advertisements and articles, along with many
jobs in the financial fields and even tech-related jobs such as computer programming. AI is good
at 4 data, so financial analysts and market research analysts may find their jobs 5 .
Using AI for certain tasks may be a good thing. Perhaps AI will 6 less interesting
work, allowing people to do more satisfying jobs, just as earlier technologies have. Using a
machine to do laundry saves time 7 to washing clothes by hand, and many people use that
extra time productively. 8 , AI may be able to take over dull tasks, liberating people to be
truly creative, since thinking up new ideas is something AI cannot do.
Another big challenge for AI is human 9 . Most people prefer to communicate with
humans rather than machines. Hence, AI is 10 to replace humans for jobs that require
personal connection, such as counseling or teaching. A robot can perform tasks, but it cannot
11 care about others, and sometimes care is what people need.
AI can process data quickly, but it can only use data that it is given. So it cannot adapt to
situations that 12 significantly from those in its data. Thus, although some AI
programs can create content, none of them can be truly creative as the content AI creates will
13 consist of some combination of its sources.
Finally, if the AI receives false information, it has no way of recognizing that as false.
Humans can also be fooled, but life experience can tell them whether a claim is reasonable, an
ability that AI does not have. 14 , AI must continually be fact-checked to make sure
its data, and therefore its conclusions, are accurate.
Thus, although AI may replace some jobs, others require a human 15 . At best
AI may eliminate certain boring parts of tasks so that humans can focus on things that only theycan do.

with my life, I was studying to become a firefighter. As a firefighter, you’re 176

One dark night I 177 at a burger place. I got my burger and started to head for
my car when I was 178 by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously very
hungry. He asked me for some 179 to buy a little food. As I was pulling out some, I had

be there. After some negotiating, they finally 185 . It seemed like he was 186

ordered a burger, so I had to 187 him to order whatever and however much he
wanted. He 188 ordering enough to fill his stomach at least 3 times over!
Now I often think about this story, because to me it’s not just about helping someone out by

allowing him to feel good about himself that was truly rewarding.

（2024·河北邢台·二模）Borneo is home to some of the most extraordinary wildlife.

（2024·上海普陀·二模）Many of the world’s islands were previously unexplored places,
but over time, people have come to these places with far-reaching effects, including deforestation,
试卷第16页，共3页over-hunting and the introduction of invasive species. 206 , most of the bird species
disappeared.
While the death of many birds since the 1500s has been 207 , our knowledge of the
fate of species before this relies on fossils (化石), and these records are limited because birds’
lightweight bones are 208 over time. This conceals the true 209 of global
extinctions.
Researchers now believe 1,430 bird species — almost 12 per cent — have died out over
modern human history since around 130,000 years ago, with the vast majority of them becoming
extinct directly or indirectly 210 human activity.
The study, led by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) and published in
Nature Communications, used statistical modelling to 211 the undiscovered bird
extinctions.
Lead author Dr Rob Cooke, an ecological modeler at UKCEH, says:“Our study
demonstrates there has been a far higher 212 impact on diversity than previously
recognized. Humans quickly destroyed bird populations through habitat loss, over-exploitation,
and the introduction of rats, pigs, and dogs, which attacked the birds’ nests, and 213 with
birds for food. We show that many species became extinct before written records and left no
214 , lost from history.”
Dr Søren Faurby of the University of Gothenburg, a co-author of the study, adds: “These
historic extinctions have had a major impact on the current biodiversity crisis. The world may not
only have lost many fascinating birds but also their varied 215 roles, which are likely to
have included key functions such as pollination (授粉). This will have had knock-on effects on
ecosystems, so, 216 bird extinctions, we will have lost a lot of plants and animals that
217 these species for survival.”
Observations and fossils show 640 bird species have been driven extinct — 90 per cent of
these on islands 218 by people. These 219 from the iconic (标志性的)
Dodo of Mauritius to the Great Auk of the North Atlantic to the lesser-known Saint Helena Giant
Hoopoe. But the researchers estimate there have been further 790 unknown extinctions, meaning a
total of 1,430 lost species — leaving just under 11,000 today. Therefore, from the perspective of
protecting species 220 , the protection of birds is an urgent issue for mankind.206．A．To some extent B．On average C．As a result D．In

（2024·湖南常德·一模）A mere four months ago, a black cat named Bounty had no idea

seemed like a potential issue, but it 222 , these two were made for each other.
223 for their journey to begin, Doina gathered all of the equipment, treats, and other

to get a bit 225 . “I made a special pouch (小袋) for him, because cat carriers are not
adapted to certain 226 ,” she said.
One of their first adventures included a 227 tour of Italy, the first test that helped
them discover how 228 he was to an adventurous lifestyle. “At the start, Bounty was a
little anxious and nervous, but after the first few days, he started to 229 himself,” Doina
said. “While I pedalled, he 230 in the pouch.”
