Alba Renai,an attractive digital influencer(网红)powered by artificial intelligence,has recently announced that she will be hosting a special section on Spain’s popular reality show“Survivor”.
Created in the fall of last year by Be a Lion,Alba Renai quickly became a superstar online,attracting over 10,000fans.She is a beautiful young woman,but she is not actually real.
Most people started speaking highly of Alba about her looks,wishing her luck in her new position,and most likely not even realizing she was an AI-powered avatar(化身),and some expressed their concern about such digital avatars occupying human jobs.In Asia,for example,several countries have been experimenting with Al newscasters.
Be a Lion,the company that created and trained:Alba Renai,recently claimed that their avatar didn’t steal any human jobs.On the contrary,it actually created more jobs.A team of32people works directly on the Alba project, including Al experts,engineers,producers,filmmakers,and community managers.“Alba is a collaborative(协作的) work between humans and machines,”Luis Movilla,a director at Be a Lion,said.“Now humans must have certain skills to be able to operate technological advances.We have had to redevelop the educational plan of our own employees and in the labor market.”
Alba Renai is one of several virtual influencers to attract international attention in the last few months, alongside Aitana Lopez and Lexi Love,to name just a couple of the most popular ones,but there is an entire wave of AI-powered avatars being developed as a way to cut costs.They may not be mainstream yet,but with technology evolving at such a rapid pace,who knows where we’ll be in a couple of years?

文章主要介绍了AI网红Alba Renai将主持西班牙真人秀，引发关注，讲述了人工智能网红Alba Renai的现状以及人们对于AI新闻主播的看法，虽未实质夺走人类工作，却也映射出AI技术快速发展下，人工智能虚拟形象或成趋势。

【24题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段“Created in the fall‘of’last year by Be a Lion,Alba Renai quickly’became a superstar online,attracting over10,000fans.She is a beautiful young woman,but she is not actually real.(去年秋天，由Be a Lion创作的Alba Renai迅速成为网络上的超级明星，吸引了超过10000名粉丝。

她是一个美丽的年轻女子，但实际上她不是真实的)”可知，Alba Renai是由Be a Lion公司设计和制造的。

故选C。

【25题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第三段的“Most people started speaking highly of Alba about her looks,wishing her luck in her new position,and most likely not even realizing she was an AI-powered avatar(化身),and some expressed their concern about such digital avatars occupying human jobs.(大多数人开始高度评价阿尔巴的长相，希望她在新职位上好运，很可能甚至没有意识到她是一个人工智能化身，一些人表达了他们对这种数字化身占据人类工作的担忧)”可知，人们对AI主播的担忧在于它们可能会取代人类的工作。

故选B。

【26题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第四段的““Alba,is a collaborative(协作的)work between humans and machines,”Luis Movilla,a director at Be a Lion,said.“Now humans must have certain skills to be able to operate technological advances.We have had to redevelop the educational plan of our own employees and in the labor market.”(“Alba
是人类和机器之间的合作作品，”Be a Lion的导演路易斯·莫维拉说。

‘现在，人类必须具备一定的技能才能操作技术进步。

我们不得不重新制定员工和劳动力市场的教育计划。

’)”可知，Luis Movilla认为像
Alba这样的项目的人工智能是人机合作的结果，它们的出现要求人类掌握新的技能，并对许多工作和教育计划做出相应的调整；由此可知，Luis Movilla态度是客观。

故选D。

【27题详解】
推理判断题。

最后一段“Alba Renai is one of several virtual influencers to attract international attention in the last few months,alongside Aitana Lopez and Lexi Love,to name just a couple of the most popular ones,but there is an entire wave,of AI-powered avatars being developed as a way to cut costs.They may not be mainstream yet,but with technology evolving at such a rapid pace,who knows where we’ll be in a couple of years?(Alba Renai是过去几个月吸引国际关注的几位虚拟影响者之一，与Aitana Lopez和Lexi Love一起，仅举几个最受欢迎的虚拟影响者，但作为一种降低成本的方式，正在开发一整波人工智能头像。

它们可能还不是主流，但随着技术的快速发展，谁知道几年后我们会走向何方？)”中提到了AI驱动的虚拟形象正作为一种削减成本的方式被开发，并指出虽然目前可能还不主流，但随着技术的快速进化，未来的情况难以预料。

由此可推知，作者在最后一段中想要传达的信息是：未来很可能会有越来越多的像Alba这样的人工智能化身。

故选C。

C
If you’re aiming to cut back on meat and you want to build muscle strength,you’re not alone.Now,a new study finds that swapping red and processed meat for plant protein a few times a week leads to better health and lowers carbon emission.
“We found that there was an increase in life expectancy of approximately nine months linked to50%reduction of red meat consumption,”says Olivia Auclair.“When it comes to diet changes to improve health and climate,we don’t need to go to major extremes or completely wipe out foods from our diet.”
But sudden changes can be jarring.For a long time Kyle Backlund had been in the habit of eating meat at many meals,and when he cut back,he felt a drop in his energy level and experienced some tiredness and weakness. When he realized he needed to increase his protein intake,his wife Stephany Marreel—who does most of the cooking and also eats a plant-based diet—found a solution by adding tofu,vegetables,and grains.Kyle says he is now feeling good on his plant-focused diet.
People can get all the protein and nutrients they need from a plant-based diet as long as they do a little planning,says Dr.Christopher Gardner,a food scientist.“If someone is consuming a reasonable variety,meeting protein needs from plant sources is no problem,”Gardner says.
There’s an environmental argument for shifting diet as well,Gardner says.Livestock(家畜)require lots of land and water.Beef production requires20times more land and produces20times more greenhouse gas emissions, per gram of protein,compared to beans.If people in the U.S.swapped beef for beans,this one switch alone could get the U.S.about halfway to its greenhouse gas reduction goals.
28.What should you do to improve health and climate according to Olivia Auclair?
A.Change your meat-based diet a little.
B.Give up red meat in your meals.
C.Become a devoted plant-protein lover.
D.Take up proper ways of cooking.
29.What does the underlined word“jarring”in the third paragraph probably mean?
A.Admirable.
B.Upsetting.
C.Meaningful.
D.Rewarding.
30.How can one meet his protein needs while following a plant-based diet?
A.By exercising more.
B.By consuming less red meat.
C.By eating various foods.
D.By having whole grain.
31.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Cattle are the main source of greenhouse gases.
B.Americans are reducing greenhouse gas emission.
C.Shifting diet can be beneficial to the planet.
D.Bean production requires lots of land and water.
【答案】28.A29.B30.C31.C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

文章主要讲述了减少红肉和加工肉的摄入，增加植物蛋白的摄入对健康和环境的好处。

【28题详解】
细节理解题。

根据文章第二段““We found that there was an increase in life expectancy of approximately nine months linked to50%reduction of red meat consumption,”says Olivia Auclair.“When it comes to diet changes to improve health and climate,we don’t need to go to major extremes or completely wipe out foods from our diet.”(“我们发现，减少50%的红肉消费，预期寿命增加了大约9个月，”奥利维亚·奥克莱尔说。

“在改变饮食以改善健康和气候方面，我们不需要走向极端，也不需要完全从饮食中抹去食物。

”)”可推知，奥利维亚·奥克莱尔建议适度改变肉食为主的饮食。

故选A。

【29题详解】
词句猜测题。

根据划线词下文“For a long time Kyle Backlund had been in the habit of eating meat at many meals,and when he cut back,he felt a drop in his energy level and experienced some tiredness and weakness.(很长一段时间以来，凯尔·贝克兰德一直有在很多餐中吃肉的习惯，当他减少吃肉时，他感到精力下降，感到有些疲倦和虚弱)”可知，突然的变化可能会令人不安。

由此推知，划线词jarring与upsetting“令人心烦意乱的”意思接近。

故选B。

【30题详解】
细节理解题。

根据文章第四段““If someone is consuming a reasonable variety,meeting protein needs from plant sources is no problem,”Gardner says.(“如果有人摄入的食物种类合理，那么从植物中获取蛋白质的需求就不成问题，”加德纳说)”可推知，通过吃各种各样的食物，人们可以在遵循植物性饮食的同时，满足他们的蛋白质需求。

故选C。

【31题详解】
推理判断题。

根据文章最后一段“Livestock(家畜)require lots of land and water.Beef production requires20 times more land and produces20times more greenhouse gas emissions,per gram of protein,compared to beans.If people in the U.S.swapped beef for beans,this one switch alone could get the U.S.about halfway to its greenhouse gas reduction goals.(家畜需要大量的土地和水。

与豆类相比，每克蛋白质的牛肉生产需要20倍的土地，并产生20倍的温室气体排放。

如果美国人将牛肉换成豆类，这一单独的转变就可以让美国实现其温室气体减排目标的大约一半)”可推知，改变饮食习惯对地球有益。

故选C。

D
After a heavy snowstorm,I ran outside excitedly to build a snowman.No matter how I rolled my snowball,it refused to grow.After resting for a while,I restarted the job.Then I noticed I had an audience-a prim-looking(古板的)couple with obvious disapproval.My face turned red as I tried to answer their unspoken question:Don’t you have anything better to do?
An adult playing by herself seems strange,but’maybe it shouldn’t.New research suggests that modern adults have ignored their play instinct(本能).Most animals stop playing as adults.However,there are a handful of animals that never stop.
One possibility is’that adult play is important and beneficial,-a theory supported by a study.Researcher Camilla Cenni from the University of Lethbridge left some puzzle boxes for some monkeys to solve.To get the food inside,they had to drop a rock into the container.The monkeys that previously had dropped rocks for fun were more likely to solve the puzzle.This finding also suggests somewhere in our evolutionary history—a playful human invented stone tools.Even today,the urge to play accounts for some of humans’greatest inventions.Adult play is also about preparing for the unexpected.And biologists found its most important function is improving relationships and helping individuals get along.
Adult play promotes inclusivity,cooperation and creativity—all qualities that we humans could use. Unfortunately,social norms hold back our urge to let loose.“Generally speaking,we like to do the things that are necessary for our survival,”says Peter Gray,a play researcher at Boston University,Humans took one giant step away from fun when we started planting crops.Plowing(耕)fields is hard and boring.Then we invented factories and lost sight of play.”
With threats like climate change,it’s easy to get into seriousness.But we should understand the value of encouraging adult play.The next time I’m caught playing.I know what to say,“I’m playing for the benefit of all humankind.You’re welcome.”
32.Why did the author’s face turn red?
A.She was considered too old to play.
B.She was ignored by a prim-looking couple.
C.She had difficulty making a snowman.
D.She couldn’t answer the couple’s question.
33.What can be inferred about adult play from Paragraph3?
A.It is the natural need of humans.
B.It has slowed down human evolution.
C.It can contribute to useful creations.
D.It is particularly noticeable in animals.
34.What got humans to lose the fun of playing according to Peter Gray?
A.Climate change.
B.Modern science.
C.The arrival of agriculture.
D.The need to prepare for the unexpected.
35.Which of the following serves as the best title?
A.How adults can be more playful
B.Why adults need to make time for playtime
C.How to add more play to your grown-up life
D.What differences exist between human and animals’play

文章主要讲述了在现代社会中，人们常会对充满玩心的成年人持否定态度，但事实上，“玩”这一活动非常重要，可以帮助人们培养各种素质，从而能够更好地解决问题。

【32题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第一段“After a heavy snowstorm,I ran outside excitedly to build a snowman.No matter how I rolled my snowball,it refused to grow.After resting for a while,I restarted the job.Then I noticed I had an audience-a prim-looking(古板的)couple with obvious disapproval.My face turned red as I tried to answer their unspoken question:Don’t you have anything better to do?(一场大雪过后，我兴奋地跑到屋外堆雪人。

无论我怎么滚雪球，它就是不长大。

休息了一会儿后，我又开始堆雪人。

然后我注意到有观众——一对古板的夫妇，明显不赞同我的做法。

我脸红了，试图回答他们未说出口的问题——难道你就没有更好的事情可做吗？)”和第二段中“An adult playing by herself seems strange,but’maybe it shouldn’t.(成年人独自玩耍似乎很奇怪，
但也许不应该如此。

)”可知，一对夫妇看到作者一个成年人在堆雪人，认为作者的这种行为很奇怪，这令作者感到尴尬，因而脸红了。

故选A。

【33题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第三段中“This finding also suggests somewhere in our evolutionary history—a playful human invented stone tools.Even today,the urge to play accounts for some of humans’greatest inventions.(这一
发现还表明，在我们的进化史中，好玩的人类曾发明过石器。

即使在今天，好玩的欲望也是人类最伟大发明的一部分。

)”可推知，成年人玩耍可以为有用的创作做出贡献。

故选C。

【34题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第四段中Peter Gray所说的话“Humans took one giant step away from fun when we started planting crops.Plowing(耕)fields is hard and boring.Then we invented factories and lost sight of play.(人类开始种植庄稼后，就离乐趣又远了一大步。

耕田既辛苦又无聊。

然后我们发明了工厂，就不再关注玩乐了。

)”可知，农业出现后，农耕辛苦又枯燥，让人们失去了玩的乐趣，故选C。

【35题详解】
主旨大意题。

通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了在现代社会中，人们常会对充满玩心的成年人持否定态度，但事实上，“玩”这一活动非常重要，可以帮助人们培养各种素质，从而能够更好地解决问题，由此可知。

B项“为什么成年人需要腾出时间玩耍”适合作文章标题，故选B。
