While we race into a future where we outsource （外包） most of our problem-solving to artificial intelligence，the greatest threat is not super intelligent machinery.It's mindlessly putting too much trust in Big Tech and not enough trust in the power of our own minds. A philosophy of artful thinking is a good way to avoid this.To think artfully means to solve problems using not just our brains，but also our hands，eyes，and ears，along with our emotions.This approach taps into the cognitive （认知的） resources that a re spread throughout our bodies but often go unused. Changing how we think is hard work.And it starts with a mindfulness practice.Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful of how we think with our body ，how we use our limbs （四肢），organs，and emotions to make sense of the world.Be mindful of all the different messages your body is sending you as well as the different roles and functions your bodily actions can play.F or example ，gesturing （做手势） in conversations is not just communicative .These movements often help the speaker to smooth out their thought process and assist in getting the words out. Today，Big Tech is pushing a message of artificial-intelligence craziness and fear.What makes you stuck in it？It's seeing the same things wherever you look.Big Tech gives you screens，hoping that your attention will always be attracted by their devices.If you want to find more freedom in this AI-filled world，improve your ability to mindfully shift your attention between different objects or levels of focus.Remember everything is born of a choice. Artful thinking demands effortful mindfulness to ensure that what we do，what we hope to achieve by using these technological tools，will not weaken our humanity.As Thich Nhat Hanh said， " Mindful living is an art ，and each of us has to train to be an artist ." （1）According to the author，what is the primary threat posed by over-trusting Big Tech？ ____ A.It will cause people to rely entirely on screens for communication.B.It may lead to the rapid development of super intelligent machinery .C.It could weaken our ability to think and to use our minds independently.D.It prevents artificial intelligence from solving complex problems effectively.（2）What is supposed to be included in a mindfulness practice？ ____ A.Concentrating on making proper gestures.B.eing aware of our body's role in thinking.C.Attaching importance to different body parts.D.Laying emphasis on nonverbal communication.（3）Why does the author mention gesturing du ring conversations？ ____ A.To argue that people should speak less and gesture more.B.To show that body language is more effective than speech.C.To illustrate how physical actions can support and clarify thinking.D.To emphasize the importance of nonverbal communication in AI development.（4）Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text？ ____ A.The Dangers of Artificial Intelligence.B.The Art of Mindful Thinking in the AI Age.C.How to Improve Communication Through Gestures.D.The Greatest Threat of Super Intelligent AI Machinery.

题目解答
答案
（1）细节理解题，根据第一段It's mindlessly putting too much trust in Big Tech and not enough trust in the power of our own minds.（盲目地对大型科技公司过于信任，而对我们自己思维的力量信任不足。）可知过度信任大型科技公司会削弱我们独立思考和运用思维的能力，故选C。
（2）细节理解题，根据第三段Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful of how we think with our body，how we use our limbs，organs，and emotions to make sense of the world.（要获得巧妙的智慧，需要留意我们如何用身体思考，如何运用四肢、器官和情感来理解世界。）可知正念练习应包括意识到身体在思考中的作用，故选B。
（3）推理判断题，根据第三段For example，gesturing in conversations is not just communicative.These movements often help the speaker to smooth out their thought process and assist in getting the words out.（例如，谈话中的手势不仅仅是交流。这些动作通常帮助说话者理顺思维过程，协助表达出话语。）可知作者提及谈话中的手势是为了说明身体动作如何支持和明晰思考，故选C。
（4）标题判断题，文章围绕人工智能时代的正念思考艺术展开，强调巧妙思考的重要性，"The Art of Mindful Thinking in the AI Age"（人工智能时代的正念思考艺术）能概括主旨，故选B。
