A. has gone to B. has been to C. went to D. has been in 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：他哥哥已经在美国待了两个月了。他很快就会回来。 考查现在完成时。have gone to去了（未回）；have been to去过（已回）；have been in在某地待一段时间。根据“for two months.”可知，本句是现在完成时，排除C；根据“the US for two months.”可知，是在美国待了两个月，应用have ben in。故选D。 7.

People can call the taxi using an app on their phone called Luobo Kuaipao. There is no driver in the car, but it can take you anywhere you want to go. Many people try the new way to travel around. They think it is cheap, comfortable and convenient (便利的). ▲ In order to let more people use its robotaxi, Luobo Kuaipao offers a great discount (折扣). For example, one person only paid 26.52 yuan for a 28-kilometre, 64-minute trip in Wuhan, as the app offered a discount of more than a hundred yuan. The low cost draws many people to the robotaxi.

A video showed that a robotaxi in Wuhan stopped in front of a bag on the road, causing a traffic jam. In another video, two robotaxis were facing each other, not knowing what to do next. What’s worse, a robotaxi caused an accident because it didn’t see a person on the road. And even after the accident, people didn’t know who was responsible (负责任的) for it. Robotaxi companies think it’s important to make roads safer, so they are working hard to improve their products and work out the problems. 29. How can people take a robotaxi? A. By being a driver. B.

He just wanted to say goodbye to Bassanio and ask him to tell Portia that Antonio was a good friend. Bassanio felt sad that his best friend was facing death because of borrowing money to help him. Antonio, however, considered himself lucky, as he would never become old or sick. Bassanio said he would do anything he could to save Antonio. He would rather die or give up his wife if it could help Antonio. His wife, Portia, disguised (伪装) as the judge, was not happy to hear this. “Let me know the judgement (判决)!” Shylock shouted. Portia said, “You have the right to take one pound of the merchant’s flesh (肉)! That is what the contract (合同) says.” Shylock held his knife and told Antonio to get ready. “Wait!” exclaimed (大喊) Portia. “You will not do anything that is not written in the contract. Is that right, Shylock?” “Yes, that’s right,” replied Shylock. “Well,” said the young judge, “the contract does not say anything about taking his blood. You can’t take even one drop of his blood. If you do that, all of your wealth will be taken!” Now it was Graziano’s turn to praise the wisdom of the judge. “Do you hear that Shylock?” Portia asked, “You want justice (公平),” Portia said to Shylock, “and you will get it. In fact, you’ll receive more justice than you ask for.” “I’m willing to accept your money. Give me ninety thousand dollars” Shylock said. He began to feel sick. Bassanio was happy to give him the money, Portia, however, had more to say. “Wait!” the judge said again. “It was not written in the contract. Shylock said that he would not do anything that was not in the contract.” “Just give me the money I lent you. I won’t even ask for interest,” Shylock said. Bassanio was ready to give it to him, but Portia stopped him again. Shylock knew that he would not get one pound of flesh or his money. He decided to go home. “Wait!” said Portia, for the third time. “The law of Venice says that if you plan to kill any citizen (公民) of Venice, you will lose everything that you own. Half of what you have will belong to (属于) the person you try to kill, and the other half will belong to the duke (公爵). Moreover, the duke is the only one who can save you from death if he chooses to show the mercy (仁慈). You should ask him for mercy.” “I will show you what it means to be merciful,” said the duke.

Usually, we think workers will pick tea leaves by hand. But now, some Longjing tea is being picked by special workers — tea-picking robots! In a tea garden in Hangzhou, a smart tea-picking robot invented by Zhejiang Sci-Tech University is working for the first time. “We take thousands of pictures of new tea buds (芽) and input them into the robot for it to learn. The robot uses an AI model to recognize (识别) the buds it should pick,” said Professor Chen Jianneng, member of the research team. This helps the robot find the right tea buds about 90 percent of the time. The robot’s arm pulls and then sucks (吸) up the tea buds. These buds are quickly moved into a special box. Once the robot has collected all the buds from the area it’s working at, it moves the buds from the box to a main box that holds everything it collects. The robot was made because there are not enough people to pick tea. In Zhejiang, about 400,000 pickers are needed now. “Picking is the greatest challenge for the development of the tea industry,” said Professor Wu Chuanyu, who leads the research team. “About five years from now, the robots will do the job of picking West Lake Longjing tea instead of people,” Wu added. 注：每题答案不超过6个词。 61. How are West Lake Longjing tea leaves usually picked? ________________________________________ 62. What are input into the robot for it to learn? ________________________________________ 63. How does the robot recognise the buds it should pick? ________________________________________ 64. How many pickers are needed in Zhejiang? ________________________________________ 65. What do you think of the tea-picking robot? ________________________________________ 【答案】61. They are usually picked by hand. 62. Many pictures of new tea buds. 63. By using an AI model. / It uses an AI model. 64. About 400,000. 65. It is very helpful. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讲了浙江大学研发的采茶机器人能识别并采摘茶芽，以解决采茶工短缺问题。 【61题详解】 根据“Usually, we think workers will pick tea leaves by hand.”可知，通常人们用手采摘西湖龙井茶叶。故填They are usually picked by hand. 【62题详解】 根据“We take thousands of pictures of new tea buds and input them into the robot for it to learn.”可知，成千上万的新茶芽照片被输入机器人供其学习。故填Many pictures of new tea buds. 【63题详解】 根据“The robot uses an AI model to recognize the buds it should pick”可知，机器人利用人工智能模型识别它应该采摘的芽。故填By using an AI model. / It uses an AI model. 【64题详解】 根据“In Zhejiang, about 400,000 pickers are needed now.”可知，在浙江需要大约40万名采茶工。故填About 400,000. 【65题详解】 开放性试题，答案合理即可。根据全文内容可知，采茶机器人能帮助人们采茶，非常有帮助。故填It is very helpful. 七、书面表达（满分20分） 66. 假定你是李华，是阳光中学九年级学生。你校英文报正组织题为“My dream job”的主题征文活动。请你根据提示，写一篇短文参赛。 内容包括： 1.

How do they like their travels in China? We’ve interviewed some international tourists. ① Egbert, from Italy This is my first visit to China. I came to Shanghai with a tour group and I didn’t expect to feel so safe. Now I’m very excited. Everyone here is kind. They try to help me even if I don’t speak Chinese and they themselves don’t speak good English. ② Matt, from France We were nervous about our trip at first. But to our surprise, there are a lot of differences between Chengdu and Paris. We spent more time seeing the street scenes of Chengdu and trying all kinds of delicious food here. My children also fell in love with the city. They’ re now huge fans of pandas. ③ Holly and Mica, from Canada China is so big and we’d like to see as much of it as we can. We’ve traveled to Beijing, Pingyao in Shanxi and Xi’ an in Shaanxi in six days. Mobile phone apps (应用程序) make it surprisingly convenient to order coffee, book tickets and make payments. We want to visit China again in the near future. 26. What did Egbert probably like best about his trip in Shanghai? A. The food. B. The people. C. The streets. D. The buildings. 27. How did Matt’s feelings change? A. Afraid→relaxed. B. Happy→proud. C. Excited→worried. D. Nervous→surprised. 28. The tourists interviewed thought their travels were ________. A. amazing B. helpful C. expensive D. cheap B These days, the robotaxi from Baidu’s Apollo Go becomes quite popular. People can call the taxi using an app on their phone called Luobo Kuaipao. There is no driver in the car, but it can take you anywhere you want to go. Many people try the new way to travel around. They think it is cheap, comfortable and convenient (便利的). ▲ In order to let more people use its robotaxi, Luobo Kuaipao offers a great discount (折扣). For example, one person only paid 26.52 yuan for a 28-kilometre, 64-minute trip in Wuhan, as the app offered a discount of more than a hundred yuan. The low cost draws many people to the robotaxi. This has made some taxi drivers feel worried and they said that the car completely took their jobs. The number of their orders has greatly dropped. The robotaxi also brings about other problems. A video showed that a robotaxi in Wuhan stopped in front of a bag on the road, causing a traffic jam. In another video, two robotaxis were facing each other, not knowing what to do next. What’s worse, a robotaxi caused an accident because it didn’t see a person on the road. And even after the accident, people didn’t know who was responsible (负责任的) for it. Robotaxi companies think it’s important to make roads safer, so they are working hard to improve their products and work out the problems. 29. How can people take a robotaxi? A. By being a driver. B. By using a mobile app. C. By waving (挥手) to it. D. By buying one. 30. Which sentence can be put in ▲ ? A. Why do people think like that? B. It’s the best way to get around. C. Few people don’t agree with them. D. However, the taxi also worries some people. 31. What do we know about Luobo Kuaipao? A. It helps people save much time. B. Some taxi drivers don’t like it. C. Rides in its robotaxis cost more than other taxis. D. Most people worry that its robotaxis are not safe. 32. Why does the writer talk about some videos in Paragraph 4? A. To offer ideas of improving robotaxis. B. To tell readers how the robotaxi works. C. To teach people how to take a robotaxi. D. To show robotaxis can cause problems. C Chinese Elements (元素) in the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics ①Different Chinese elements were shown at the opening ceremony (仪式) of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. They mixed traditional culture with modern technology. ②Traditional music At the opening ceremony, traditional music was played with Chinese instruments such as guzheng, pipa in order to further spread traditional music around the world. ③Greeting pine (迎客松) During the ceremony, a firework in the shape of a “greeting pine” was set off in the sky. The “greeting pine” stood for Beijing’s warm welcome and friendly service provided for Winter Olympic guests from all over the world. The idea came from a 1,000-year-old pine tree on Mount Huangshan in China’s Anhui Province. ④24 Solar Terms (节气) The exciting counting down phase (倒计时阶段) of the opening ceremony used traditional 24 Solar Terms, starting from the last to the first, known as lichun. This term stands for the start of springtime in the traditional Chinese culture. 33. The Chinese instruments were used to play traditional music to ________.

The passage is most probably taken from ________. A. a diary B. a science study C. a news report D. a dictionary D Portia asked Antonio if he had something to say before receiving the penalty (惩罚). He just wanted to say goodbye to Bassanio and ask him to tell Portia that Antonio was a good friend. Bassanio felt sad that his best friend was facing death because of borrowing money to help him. Antonio, however, considered himself lucky, as he would never become old or sick. Bassanio said he would do anything he could to save Antonio. He would rather die or give up his wife if it could help Antonio. His wife, Portia, disguised (伪装) as the judge, was not happy to hear this. “Let me know the judgement (判决)!” Shylock shouted. Portia said, “You have the right to take one pound of the merchant’s flesh (肉)! That is what the contract (合同) says.” Shylock held his knife and told Antonio to get ready. “Wait!” exclaimed (大喊) Portia. “You will not do anything that is not written in the contract. Is that right, Shylock?” “Yes, that’s right,” replied Shylock. “Well,” said the young judge, “the contract does not say anything about taking his blood. You can’t take even one drop of his blood. If you do that, all of your wealth will be taken!” Now it was Graziano’s turn to praise the wisdom of the judge. “Do you hear that, Shylock?” Portia asked, “You want justice (公平),” Portia said to Shylock, “and you will get it. In fact, you’ll receive more justice than you ask for.” “I’m willing to accept your money. Give me ninety thousand dollars,” Shylock said. He began to feel sick. Bassanio was happy to give him the money, Portia, however, had more to say. “Wait!” the judge said again. “It was not written in the contract. Shylock said that he would not do anything that was not in the contract.” “Just give me the money I lent you. I won’t even ask for interest,” Shylock said. Bassanio was ready to give it to him, but Portia stopped him again. Shylock knew that he would not get one pound of flesh or his money. He decided to go home. “Wait!” said Portia, for the third time. “The law of Venice says that if you plan to kill any citizen (公民) of Venice, you will lose everything that you own. Half of what you have will belong to (属于) the person you try to kill, and the other half will belong to the duke (公爵). Moreover, the duke is the only one who can save you from death if he chooses to show the mercy (仁慈). You should ask him for mercy.” “I will show you what it means to be merciful,” said the duke. Shylock felt really sick at that time. — Adapted from The Merchant of Venice 37. Which of the following can best describe Antonio at the beginning of the passage? A. He was ready to be killed. B. He showed thanks to Bassanio. C. He could hardly stay calm. D. He hoped that he could avoid the penalty. 38. Why did Shylock feel sick after hearing Portia’s words? A. Because he knew Antonia would die. B. Because he realized he would lose his chance to kill the enemy. C. Because he was already in poor health. D. Because he found the contract no longer worked. 39. How did Portia finally save Antonio? A. By giving up justice. B. By making use of the contract. C. By offering ninety thousand dollars. D. By forcing Shylock to show mercy. 40.

Usually, we think workers will pick tea leaves by hand. But now, some Longjing tea is being picked by special workers — tea-picking robots! In a tea garden in Hangzhou, a smart tea-picking robot invented by Zhejiang Sci-Tech University is working for the first time. “We take thousands of pictures of new tea buds (芽) and input them into the robot for it to learn. The robot uses an AI model to recognize (识别) the buds it should pick,” said Professor Chen Jianneng, member of the research team. This helps the robot find the right tea buds about 90 percent of the time. The robot’s arm pulls and then sucks (吸) up the tea buds. These buds are quickly moved into a special box. Once the robot has collected all the buds from the area it’s working at, it moves the buds from the box to a main box that holds everything it collects. The robot was made because there are not enough people to pick tea. In Zhejiang, about 400,000 pickers are needed now. “Picking is the greatest challenge for the development of the tea industry,” said Professor Wu Chuanyu, who leads the research team. “About five years from now the robots will do the job of picking West Lake Longjing tea instead of people,” Wu added. 注：每题答案不超过6个词。 61.
