25、gzhou Opening GalaCMeticulous Organization is Praised by the WorldDBest Wishes are Conveyed in the Hangzhou Opening GalaWhen we dont regularly get enough sleep on weeknights, many of us hope to repay our sleep debt by sleeping late on weekends. Scientists have previously found that a lack of sleep i
26、ncreases the risk of being overweight. However, it was not clear whether sleeping more on the weekend could balance the books and prevent such an increase.A team of researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder set out to find how a weekend of recovery sleep may influence an individuals health
27、. The study focused on 36 healthy young adults, who were divided into three groups. The first group got plenty of sleep each night for 9 nights, while the second group got just 5 hours of sleep each night for 9 nights. The third group of people slept 5 hours for 5 nights, slept as much as they wante
28、d over the weekend, and then returned to 2 more days of limited sleep. All peoples eating patterns, weight gain, and changes in insulin (胰岛素) sensitivity are tracked throughout.Compared to people who slept normally, those who only slept 5 hours a night snacked more after dinner and gained an average
29、 of about 3 pounds during the study. Their bodies sensitivity to insulin decreased by 13%over the two-week period. People in the third group experienced some mild improvement during the weekend: they were less likely to snack at night during the recovery period. But those benefits died out when they
30、 returned to their weekday sleep-restricted schedule. They also gained an average of about 3 pounds during the study and experienced a 27% decrease in insulin sensitivity. Furthermore, during the weekend, total sleep duration was lower in women than in men, and energy intake decreased to baseline le
31、vels in women but not in men.The study suggests that weekend recovery sleep is not likely to be an effective measure regarding metabolic (新陈代谢) health. In the future, the research team aims to explore further whether or not catching up on sleep, including daytime napping, can completely change the d
32、amage of sleep loss, and if so, to what extent and under what conditions.28How did the researchers arrive at their conclusions？ABy referring to previous studies.BBy comparing experiment data.CBy collecting peoples sleep records.DBy interviewing healthy young adults.29What can we learn from the resul
33、ts of the study？ASex differences were observed in recovery sleep.BLess food was eaten after the recovery period.CRecovery sleep contributed to less weight gain.DInsulin sensitivity got higher in most of the people.30Which of the following is the focus of future studies？AThe effective measures agains

35、ake up for sleep loss.DWeekend recovery sleep does damage metabolic health.Artificial Intelligence (AI) advice is as influential as humans, but positive crowd views still overpower.In a study, researchers found that machines that make recommendations or AI experts were as influential as human expert
36、s when the AI experts recommended which photo users should add to their online business profiles. However, both AI and human experts failed to budge them if the feedback of both AI and human experts was negative and went against popular views among other users, said Sundar, a professor of Media Effe
37、cts.Because people are increasingly using social media to look for feedback, studies suggest that expert opinions and the bandwagon effect (从众效应) may be important factors in influencing decisions. “Nowadays, we often turn to online platforms for opinions from other people-like our peers and experts-
38、before making a decision,” said Jinping Wang, a doctoral candidate in mass communication and first author of the study. AI experts are often less expensive than human experts and they can also work 24 hours a day, which, Wang suggests, might make them appealing to online businesses.The researchers a
39、lso found that the AIs group status (群体地位) - in this case, national origin was pointed out-did not seem to affect a persons acceptance of its recommendation. Among human experts, however, an expert from a similar national origin who offered a negative opinion of a photograph tended to be more influe
40、ntial than a human expert from an unknown country who offered a similar negative rating of a photograph.While findings that suggest group status may not affect whether a person values the view of AI experts sound like good news, Sundar suggests that the same cultural biases (偏见) might still be at wo
41、rk in AI experts for they could be hidden in the programming and training data. “It can be both good and bad because it all depends on what you feed AI, ”said Sundar, “ While it is good to believe in AIs ability to transcend (超越) cultural biases, we have to keep in mind that if you train the AI on p
42、ictures from one culture, they could give misleading recommendations on pictures meant for use in other cultural contexts.”32What do the underlined words “budge them” in paragraph 2 mean？ARaise users spirits.BSatisfy users needs.CChange users ideas.DFire users imagination.33Why do users often turn t
43、o AI experts？AAI experts are more knowledgeable.BAI experts are less influenced by feelings.CAI experts are so new as to be more attractive.DAI experts are on hand and cost less.34Which experts negative assessments is a person more likely to believe？AAn expert from countries with similar cultures to
44、 his.BAn expert who has great achievements in arts.CA foreign expert who is very popular worldwide.DAn expert with better personality and attitude.35What did Sundar mean by the last paragraph？APeople should have a mind of their own.BPeople should be able to tell good from bad.CPeople should know AIs
45、 hidden cultural biases.DPeople should be trained how to use AI properly.五、七选五The Importance of Handwriting is Becoming Better UnderstoodAs primary-school pupils and PhD hopefuls return for a new school year, many will study with reliance on computers to take notes and write papers. 36 University pr
46、ofessors complain of rampant distractions in classrooms, with students reading and messaging instead of listening to lectures. 37 Studies have found that writing on paper can improve everything from recalling a random series of words to imparting a better conceptual grasp of complicated ideas.The be
47、nefits of using a pen or pencil lie in how the motor and sensory memory of putting words on paper reinforces that material. The arrangement of squiggles (涂鸦) on a page feeds into visual memory. 38 One of the best-demonstrated advantages of writing by hand seems to be in superior note-taking.When primary-school pupils and PhD hopefuls take notes, handwriting forces students to synthesise (合成) ideas into their own words. This aids conceptual understanding at the moment of writing. 39 Many studies have confirmed handwritings
