21、 had taken my mother away from me.But something about my friends words“I can help organize the whole thing”stuck with me.I felt obliged(有义务的) to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living.I checked our teams website daily, feeling proud each time a donation ticked up
22、our total. I knewmy mom would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never got defeated. It was this veryspirit that helped me get by.When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smileson their faces. They made it look so rewarding and effortless. I w
23、anted in.So I enrolled in another race two months later. Considering I could barely run a mile, it wasambitious. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldnt come in last. I followed itreligiously and didnt let anything get in my way.Running up and down the citys hills, I was flooded with m
24、emories. I had lived there aftercollege and my mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdales, recalling the time she and I hadgotten into a screaming argument there.I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mom had said after her diagnosis ofcancer. “I dont want you to feel guilty abou
25、t anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. Aweight lifted from my shoulders.When the race day arrived, I gave it my all for my mom and for all she had taught me andcontinued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on.Crossing the finish line,

29、rd.If our ancestors spotted movement in the nearby forest, they would run first and question later. At thesame time, the ability to analyze and to plan is part of what separates us from other animals. Thequestion of when to trust your instinct(直觉) and when to think slow matters in the office as much
30、 asin the savannah(草原).Slow thinking is the feature of a well-managed workplace. Yet instinct also has its place. Somedecisions are more connected to emotional responses and less to analysis. In demandingcustomer-service or public-facing situations, instinct is often a better guide to how to behave.
31、Instinct can also be improved. Plenty of research has shown that instinct becomes moreunerring with experience. In one well-known experiment, volunteers were asked to assess whether aselection of designer handbags were real or not. Some were instructed to operate on instinct andothers to deliberate(
32、深思熟虑) over their decision. Instinct worked better for those who owned at leastthree designer handbags; indeed, it outperformed analysis. The more expert you become, the betteryour instinct tends to be.However, the real reason to embrace fast thinking is that it is, well, fast. It is often the only w
33、ayto get through the day. To take one example, when your inbox floods with new emails at the start ofa new day, there is absolutely no way to read them all carefully. Instinct is what helps you decidewhich ones to answer and which to delete or leave unopened. Fast thinking can also help the entireor
34、ganization. The value of many managerial decisions lies in the simple fact that they have beenmade at all. Yet as data explodes, the temptation(诱惑) to ask for one more bit of analysis has becomemuch harder to resist. Managers often suffer from overthinking, turning a simple problem into acomplex one
35、.When to use instinct in the workplace rests on its own form of pattern recognition. Does thedecisionmaker have real expertise in this area? Is this a field in which emotion matters more thanreasoning? Above all, is it worth delaying the decision? Slow thinking is needed to get the big callsright. B
36、ut fast thinking is the way to stop deliberation turning to a waste of time.28. What does the underlined word “unerring” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Accurate. B. Creative. C. Controllable. D. Obvious.9. What can we learn from the passage?2A. Managers can afford the cost of slow thinking.B. Fast
37、thinking can be a boost to work efficiency.C. Slow thinking will hold us back in the long run.D. Too much data is to blame for wrong decisions.0. What is the authors purpose of writing the passage?A. To explain how instinct works.3B. To compare instinct and slow thinking.高三英语 第 5页（共 9页） C. To highli
38、ght the value of instinct in the workplace.D. To illustrate the development of different thinking patterns.DIt all started when I typed a perfectly reasonable prompt(提示词) into one of several apps on themarket that can create an image based on text. “Skull space laser dinosaur starship explosion,” Iw
39、rote. The app processed for a few seconds, and returned four images, one of which was strangelyaccurate: a dinosaur-looking skull screamed out of an empty space, trailing fire. It looked like anillustration from the art magazine, and perhaps art from the magazine influenced its creation.Text-to-imag
40、e AIs identify images by looking at the text that people have used to describe thosepictures online. When the app got my prompt, it studied images that random people had described as“dinosaur” or “laser” and so on, then used what is called a diffusion model(扩散模型) to add a bunchof random chaos to tho
41、se pictures. Once they were suitably completed, it “upscaled” them, removingnoise and sharpening focus. Its work is so good that an artist using it recently won first place fordigital images at the Colorado State Fair.But there are major ethical(道德的) issues raised by the success of such AIs. The big
42、gest has todo with those training data sets. Reporters recently discovered that the data set used byText-to-image AIs contained images of violence. Some companies are working on ways to preventthe public from seeing images based on offensive and illegal pictures in the data set. Arepresentative of t
43、he companies also noted that the images in its data set are “already available in thepublic internet on publicly available websites”.But even if this problem is fixed, there is still the question of all the other pictures online thatare being transformed into AI-generated masterpieces. As many artis
44、ts have pointed out, their worksare being used without payment. The image-generating algorithm(算法) creates illustrations and evenmovies by using data sets stocked with art stolen from artists who post their works online.Some AI researchers argue that their algorithms arent stealing from artists so m
45、uch as learningfrom them, just as human artists learn from each other. But a more ethical approach would be forcompanies to acknowledge their debt to artists and create a model of voluntary collective licensing,much like what radio stations first did in radios early days. Back then, musicians create
46、d groups likeBMI to collectively license their music to radio stationsthen BMI would pay artists based on howoften their songs were played. Perhaps artists and art institutions today could form a “collectingsociety” that would allow companies to license their artwork for data sets.To create ethical
47、AI systems, we need to acknowledge the people whose work makes thosesystems so magical. We cant simply snarf up every image onlinewe need humans to managethose data sets and we need to pay them to do it.31. What can we learn about Text-to-image AIs from the first two paragraphs?A. They are developed to process pictures.高三英语 第 6页（共 9页） B. They are used to describe online pictures.C. They use a diffusion model to combine pictures.D. They create their works based on online pict
