(2025·深圳阶段检测改编)A wounded(受伤的) great white pelican(鹈鹕) chose a good place to land. A storm made it leave its group. Visitors at the resort(度假胜地) thought the pelican was an adult because it was big. But the workers there soon found out that the pelican was only about three months old. They named it Big Bird and took good care of it to make it healthy again.
The workers knew Big Bird needed lots of food to reach its full adult size. In the wild, a group of pelicans work together to catch fish. But Big Bird didn't have a group, so the workers fed it fish. Eating fish, Big Bird got bigger.
Everyone at the resort hoped that Big Bird would fly away and go back to its group when it got healthy. But Big Bird needed to learn how to fly! The workers tried to teach it.
After more practice, Big Bird showed its growing number of fans a successful flight (飞行). Just as it was getting dark, Big Bird landed at the same place where it took off. “We’re so proud of it. It can fly!” Big Bird's trainers said.
No one knows how long Big Bird will stay at the resort. Maybe one day it will fly away, find a group of pelicans to be with, and never come back to the place where it learned to fly. But before that happens, the workers and visitors are happy to be with it.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一只因暴风雨受伤而离开群体的三个月大的鹈鹕在度假胜地工作人员的照料下恢复健康、学习飞行并成功起飞，目前工作人员和游客仍能与它相伴。
19. D 细节理解题。根据“They named it Big Bird and took good care of it to make it healthy again.”以及“Everyone at the resort hoped that Big Bird would fly away and go back to its group when it got healthy.”可知，工作人员照顾Big Bird的主要原因是帮助它恢复健康并飞回自己的群体。故选D。
20. B 细节理解题。根据“In the wild, a group of pelicans work together to catch fish. But Big Bird didn't have a group, so the workers fed it fish.”可知，工作人员给Big Bird喂鱼而不让它自己捕鱼，是因为它没有群体伙伴帮忙。故选B。
21. A 事件排序题。通读全文内容可知，首先是“A wounded great white pelican chose a good place to land ... Visitors at the resort thought the pelican was an adult because it was big.”(③这只鹈鹕在度假胜地被发现)；接着“They named it Big Bird”(②这只鹈鹕被命名)；然后“Eating fish, Big Bird got bigger.”(④这只鹈鹕通过吃鱼长大)；最后“After more practice, Big Bird showed its growing number of fans a successful flight.”(①这只鹈鹕成功飞行)。正确顺序为③②④①，故选A。
22. C 标题归纳题。根据文章围绕受伤的鹈鹕Big Bird被救助、被照顾、学习飞行并最终成功飞行的过程，结合“Everyone at the resort hoped that Big Bird would fly away ... But Big Bird needed to learn how to fly! The workers tried to teach it.”以及“After more practice, Big Bird showed its growing number of fans a successful flight.”可知，文章最佳标题是“Big Bird的飞行之旅”。故选C。

(2025·武汉期末改编)In a fun conversation, someone asked ChatGPT to count the number of “r”s in “strawberry”. ChatGPT answered that there were two, the eighth and ninth letters. The questioner broke apart the word and thought there were three “r”s. But ChatGPT argued that there were two “r”s in “strawberry” because the “r” in “straw” is part of the word.
★ It has something to do with its special way of understanding text. When humans read, we process text linearly(线性地) and read each letter in order. For us, “strawberry” is easily understood as a line of characters. As a result, it's simple to count the letters. AI, on the other hand, depends on a process called tokenization(文本切分). This process breaks down text into smaller units, or tokens (符号). These can be whole words, parts of words, or even single characters. That depends on the model's training. For example, “strawberry” might be tokenized as “straw” and “berry”.
When you ask AI to count letters, such as “r”s in “strawberry”, it won't check the characters themselves. Instead, it sees larger parts, like “straw” and “berry”. It's just trying to count the number of letters in a word without splitting it up first.
In our AI-driven world today, we ask for quick answers and ideas. The strawberry test is a good example of how important it is to check, and sometimes double-check, information from AI. Even the “smartest” AI models can make simple mistakes.
()23. Why does the writer mention “strawberry” in Paragraph 1?
A. To tell humans are smarter than AI.
B. To describe how AI understands words.
C. To show AI may give wrong answers.
D. To explain why AI is poor in counting letters.
()24. 新考法 补全文章 Which of the following can be put in “ ★ ”?
A. How can AI make such a mistake?
B. What should we do when AI is wrong?
C. Are there other words that can trouble AI?
D. Why did the questioner break apart the word?
()25. What does the underlined phrase “splitting it up” mean?
A. Putting it together.
B. Checking it out.
C. Breaking it apart.
D. Counting it down.
()26. 语言能力 分析能力 How does the writer feel about AI?
A. Correct but useless.
B. Slow but smart.
C. Wonderful but simple.
D. Useful but mistaken.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章以ChatGPT数“strawberry”中字母R的争议为例，说明AI因文本切分(tokenization)的工作机制，理解文本方式与人类不同，即便“最智能”的AI也会犯错，强调在AI驱动的世界，需对其输出信息检查、复核。
23. C 推理判断题。第一段讲ChatGPT数“strawberry”中字母“r”的数量与人类数出的结果不同，AI给出了错误答案，引出下文对AI工作机制及易出错的阐述，是为了展示AI可能给出错误答案。故选C。
24. A 补全文章题。第一段讲AI数字母“r”的数量出错，空后内容解释AI因文本切分的特殊方式理解文本，导致计数错误，所以此处应是询问犯错的原因；选项A“AI为何会犯这样的错？”符合语境。故选A。
25. C 词义猜测题。根据“When you ask AI to count letters, such as 'r's in 'strawberry', it won't check the characters themselves. Instead, it sees larger parts, like 'straw' and 'berry'”. It's just trying to count the number of letters in a word without splitting it up first.”可知，AI去统计“strawberry”这个单词中字母“r”的数量时，它不会逐一检查每个字符本身；相反，它会看到更大的部分，比如“straw”和“berry”；它只是试图在不先将单词拆分的情况下统计出单词中的字母数量，也就是说AI数字母时不先拆分单词；据此可以推断，画线词组“splitting it up”的意思是“拆分；分解”，动词短语，与“breaking it apart”同义。故选C。
26. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In our AI-driven world today, we ask for quick answers and ideas.”可知，AI能快速提供答案和思路，说明AI很有用；又根据最后一段中的“Even the 'smartest' AI models can make simple mistakes.”可知，AI会犯错；因此，作者认为AI有用但也会出错。故选D。
