Directed by famous filmmaker Zhang Yimou, the show mixed traditional Chinese yangko dance with modern robot technology. In the performance, humanoid robots (robots shaped like humans) dressed in colorful costumes danced yangko, a joyful folk dance from northern China often seen during festivals. They spun (旋转) handkerchiefs quickly and made creative group patterns. These robots were developed by Unitree(宇树科技), a Chinese robotics company. This was not Unitree’s first success—in 2021, their robot cows named “Ben Ben” (犇犇) danced as backup for singer Andy Lau. The robots learned dance moves through AI and used laser navigation (激光导航) to move safely on the uneven stage. Their strong joints (关节) (like knees with 360N·m power) helped them balance perfectly during fast steps. Zhang Yimou explained, “This dance isn’t just fun—it shows how technology can bring new life to traditions.” Thanks to these innovations (创新), the robots won the hearts of millions. On social media, topics like “Robot Yangko” trended quickly. Young viewers called it “cool,” while older audiences loved its humor and festive spirit.

A chatbot is a computer program that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to imitate human thinking and writing. The book’s text was produced using it, and Reshi created illustrations (插图) using another AI program, Midjourney, which uses special computation (计算) rules to translate words into images. When Reshi posted the book online, it became very popular with children. Some people praised Reshi for being clever. However, not everyone was happy. Some artists criticized the book. They said the pictures were of poor quality, and more importantly, the way the pictures were made was a big problem. Midjourney works by searching through millions of images on the internet. It uses algorithms to find patterns in these images and make new ones. The problem is, Midjourney takes images from artists’ work without asking for permission. Some companies have already started using AI instead of human workers. For example, an AI robot told jokes at a comedy club instead of a person. The San Francisco Ballet also used AI-created images for advertising a ballet show called The Nutcracker. Many artists and writers are worried about their jobs. They fear that if AI can create art and writing for less money, people may not pay them for their work. Josephine, a journalist who makes money from writing, says, “I love writing, but it’s troubling to see people looking for cheaper choices instead of supporting real human writers.” There is a real concern about protecting the work of artists and writers who could have their creations used by AI programs. The technology industry that develops these tools should include artists in the process of making them. 1．The passage is most likely to be taken from a ________. A．newspaper B．science fiction C．storybook D．travel guide 2．What does the underlined word “algorithms” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Creative ideas. B．Millions of pictures. C．Useful tools. D．Computation rules. 3．Which of the following statements is TRUE about Midjourney? A．Midjourney is a chatbot that helps writers create stories. B．Midjourney uses algorithms to search images from the internet to create new ones. C．Midjourney was used by Reshi to write the text of Alice and Sparkle. D．Midjourney always asks for permission before using artists’ images. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To support the use of AI tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney in creative industries. B．To show the popularity of Reshi’s book Alice and Sparkle among children. C．To discuss the advantages and challenges of AI in art and writing, especially on human creators. D．To blame (责备) the poor quality of AI-generated illustrations in Reshi’s book. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文讨论了艺术家和作家对使用人工智能AI程序创作作品的担忧，特别是在Reshi使用AI程序完成儿童读物《Alice and Sparkle》的情况下。AI创作引发了对创意作品被未经授权使用以及对艺术家和作家生计的威胁的担忧。 1．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文讨论了AI技术对创作行业的影响，并引用了多方观点，这种讨论性及广泛受众的特点，符合报纸报道风格，故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Midjourney, which uses special computation (计算) rules to translate words into images.”可知Midjourmey，它使用特殊的计算规则将单词翻译成图像，结合“It uses algorithms to find patterns in these images and make new ones.”可知，它就是用这种算法规则在这些图像中寻找模式，并制作新的图像，所以划线单词表示“运算规则”，故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“Midjourney works by searching through millions of images on the internet. It uses algorithms to find patterns in these images and make new ones.”可知，Midjourney使用算法从互联网上搜索图像以创建新的图像。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了艺术家和作家对使用人工智能AI程序创作作品的担忧，特别是在Reshi使用AI程序完成儿童读物《Alice and Sparkle》的情况下。AI创作引发了对创意作品被未经授权使用以及对艺术家和作家生计的威胁的担忧。故选C。 （24-25九年级下·重庆大足·开学考试）It’s common that parents and children disagree with each other. That’s what we call conflicts (冲突). Some of the conflicts are small and easy to end. Others may need parents to take action and help. To someone’s surprise, by solving them together, family conflicts can help children learn important life skills. Some simple childhood games show how conflict and repair work. For example, in peek-a-boo (躲猫猫), a baby might feel a little unhappy and worried when he can’t see his parent. But when the parent returns, everything is OK. As children grow older, they play games like hide and seek. There are small moments of upset followed by great fun and joy. These games help children prepare for all kinds of problems in the future. As children grow up, they develop their life skills by working through conflicts. When a conflict is too serious for a child, parents may step in. To set a good example, parents could try to remain cool first— don’t be too excited or angry. Next, they can say some kind and nice things to make children feel better. Now here comes the chance for parents and children to sit down. Then they can have a face-to-face communication. This helps them rebuild the love and trust for each other. In this way, children learn that sometimes things go wrong. But if they deal with them properly, they can always rebuild healthy and strong relationships with others. A healthy process of going through conflict and repair with their parents promises children’s happiness and social success in the future. 1．Why are family conflicts helpful according to Paragraph 1? A．Because they can help parents learn. B．Because they can teach children skills. C．Because they can solve parents’ problems.

It’s so Beijing,” said a 33-year-old Beijing person with the family name of Lin. Lin and her 14-year-old cousin were enjoying a city walk along the Beijing Central Axis (中轴线). On this walk, they saw most of the old city buildings of Beijing, like the Forbidden City and the Bell and Drum Towers. Since the show “Glory Is Back! Beijing (《登场了！北京中轴线》)” was shown in July, people like Lin traveled on foot to know the axis better themselves. Dating back to the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), the 7. 8-kilometer-long Beijing Central Axis starts with Yongdingmen Gate in the south and ends with the Bell and Drum Towers in the north. It matches Forbidden City and the markets at the Bell and Drum Towers area. This way of city planning is described as “court (宫廷) in the front, market in the back”. Other buildings like the Imperial Ancestral Temple (太庙) stands in the east and the Alter of Land and Grain (社稷坛) lies on the west side of the axis. Chinese professor Lyu Zhou said that when he walked around the Bell and Drum Towers, he could find peace in the busy city life. At a square between the Bell Tower and the Drum Towers, you can see people relaxing, cycling and playing games and even celebrating life events. “The towers were once our meeting places. We used to go on dates there. You could say that the towers have seen our love grow,” said a young couple who were taking wedding photos under the Bell and Drum Towers. The traveler Marco Polo (1254-1324) wrote about what he saw along the Central Axis back in the Yuan Dynasty in The Travels of Marco Polo: “Up and down the city there are beautiful palaces... and fine houses in great numbers.” And Osvald Siren (1879-1966) from Sweden took many photos in Beijing back in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These western records have given people around the world a taste of its history. 1．How does the writer lead in the topic in the first paragraph? A．By asking questions. B．By giving an example. C．By making comparisons. D．By listing numbers. 2．The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refers to “________”. A．Beijing Central Axis B．Yongdingmen Gate C．the Bell and Drum Towers D．the Forbidden City 3．Which of the following describes the Beijing Central Axis correctly? A． B． C． D． 4．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Marco Polo took many photos when visiting there. B．These western records caused much trouble in the 19th century. C．Osvald Siren was one of those western visitors. D．More foreigners will be interested in the Beijing Central Axis. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇描述性记叙文，通过一位33岁的北京人林女士和她14岁的表弟沿着北京中轴线漫步的经历，展现了北京中轴线的独特魅力和历史底蕴。 1．细节理解题。根据“ ‘The red walls and green tiles set each other off beautifully. It’s so Beijing,’ said a 33-year-old Beijing person with the family name of Lin.”可知，通过一个具体的例子——林姓北京人的评价，来引入主题，即北京中轴线的特色。因此，作者通过给出一个例子来引导话题。选项B“By giving an example.”（通过给出例子）是正确的。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Dating back to the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), the 7. 8-kilometer-long Beijing Central Axis starts with Yongdingmen Gate in the south and ends with the Bell and Drum Towers in the north.”可知，北京中轴线长8公里，南起永定门，北至钟鼓楼，it指代“Beijing Central Axis”，故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Other buildings like the Imperial Ancestral Temple stands in the east and the Alter of Land and Grain locates on the west side of the axis.” 可知，太庙在东边，社稷坛在西边。再由“It matches Forbidden City and the markets at the Bell and Drum Towers area.”可知，市场在北方，故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“These western records have given people around the world a taste of its history.”可知，马可·波罗和奥斯瓦尔德·西伦等西方旅行者和学者对北京中轴线的描述和记录，使得世界各地的人们能够感受到它的历史。这暗示着北京中轴线的历史和文化价值对外国人也有吸引力。因此，我们可以推断出未来会有更多的外国人对北京中轴线感兴趣。选项D“More foreigners will be interested in the Beijing Central Axis.”（更多的外国人会对北京中轴线感兴趣）是正确的推断。故选D。 （24-25九年级下·重庆大足·开学考试） The Little Prince  Antoine de Saint-Exup©ry(Author); Humphrey Bower (Narrator) Few stories are as widely read by children and adults as The Little Prince.

But have you ever wondered why, although it looks harmless, paper can sometimes cause accidental cuts? ②Scientists have done some researches to uncover the physics behind paper cuts and to find out which types of paper are more likely to hurt our fingers. Three scientists from Denmark have found that 65-micrometer (微米)-thick paper is most likely to cut our skin. They won the Physics Prize for this finding at the 2024 Pineapple Science Award in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, on November 23. ③The scientists tested papers with different thicknesses (from 30 to 220 micrometers) on man-made fingers whose skin is similar to the human skin. The following are what they found. ④For thin paper, the scientists found it couldn’t cut the “fingers”. Instead, it just bent, changing the shape and being no longer straight. And for thicker paper, it left a mark on the fingers but couldn’t break the “skin”. ⑤When they tried the 65-micrometer-thick paper, the scientists found it cut the fingers the most, about once every five tries. The paper used for magazines such as Nature and Science is of a thickness close to this. Common A4 paper is about 100 micrometers thick, which is much safer. ⑥The cutting angle (角度) also made a difference. Pushing the paper straight down onto the fingers didn’t often result in a cut. Pushing the paper at a slanted (倾斜的) angle resulted in more cuts. ⑦According to the scientists, their findings could not only reduce the risk of paper cuts, but also lead to safer paper products. For example, they can avoid using paper that is too sharp or have just the right thickness for cutting, especially when doing hands-on activities. They even created a cheap paper knife, the Papermachete, that can cut through apples and chicken. 1．Which sentence has the same meaning of “bent (bend)” as that in Paragraph 4? A．She bent his head a little to avoid getting hurt. B．Suddenly, he swam to a river bend and disappeared. C．To be fair, he refused to bend the rules for anyone. D．The little tree bent with the pressure of the heavy snow. 2．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．To explain why paper can sometimes cause cuts. B．To tell people how to avoid getting paper cuts in daily lives. C．To show why paper is widely used in our everyday lives. D．To describe the use of different kinds of paper. 3．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4．What can be inferred from the passage? A．The thicker paper people use, the less likely they will get cut. B．Paper with all thicknesses were tested by the scientists in the researches. C．The Papermachete can be used to out through apples and chicken. D．The scientists’ findings may lead to improvements in paper products. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了纸张为什么会造成割伤，并介绍了科学家对纸张厚度和切割角度的研究。 1．词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Instead, it just bent, changing the shape and being no longer straight.”可知，“bent”在这里表示“弯曲”。选项D“这棵树在大雪的压力下弯曲了”中的“bent”也表示“弯曲”，与文中意思一致。故选D。 2．主旨大意题。本文主要解释了纸张为什么会造成割伤，并介绍了科学家对纸张厚度和切割角度的研究。因此，文章的主要目的是解释纸张有时会造成割伤的原因。故选A。 3．篇章结构题。文章的结构如下：①引入话题：纸张为什么会造成割伤；②③介绍科学家研究纸张厚度与割伤的关系；④-⑥详细描述实验过程和结果；⑦总结研究成果及其应用。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据第七段中的“their findings could not only reduce the risk of paper cuts, but also lead to safer paper products”可知，科学家的研究可能会改进纸张产品，使其更安全。故选D。 （24-25九年级下·重庆·开学考试） Imagine you are in a dark field at night, surrounded by tiny, twinkling lights.

They were the first people to live in New Zealand. In the late 18th century, Europeans came to live in New Zealand. At that time, the population of the Maori was maybe 250,000 in New Zealand. Over the next one hundred years, wars and disease killed many Maori people. By the end of the 19th century, there were only about 40,000 Maori people left. During this time, the Maori also lost much of their land to the Europeans. Many of them were afraid that they might lose their traditions and language too, but this did not happen. Today the Maori population is increasing. There are about 500,000 Maori people in New Zealand. Most live like other New Zealanders, but they are keeping the Maori language and traditions alive. There are now Maori radio and television stations. Many schools teach in the Maori language. Nearly one half of Maori language speakers are 25 years old or younger. Maori culture is also alive and well. At the center of Maori culture is the “marae”. This is a special place for ceremonies and meetings. Today the number of marae in New Zealand is increasing. Many of the new marae are in the cities. Now people in the cities can meet and learn about their Maori traditions. Today most New Zealand cities have Maori festivals each year. Among festival activities are competitions in speaking, dancing and singing. Children practice for months. Then all the Maori in the area arrive to watch the competitions and see who wins.

On top of this “moral dilemma (道德困境)”, if the car doesn’t turn, you might get hurt. What decision would you expect it to make? In life-and-death situations, should autonomous vehicles put passengers first or pedestrians? Should they prioritize (优先考虑) the greater good or one person’s safety? These have been a central topic for several years. However, there can be no completely perfect solution. “A moral dilemma is a dilemma; it has no clear solution by design (设计),” wrote Derek Leben, a professor of ethics (伦理学). When studying these questions of autonomous vehicles, Iyad Rahwan, an MIT scientist, found that people are selfish. “People buying these cars, they want cars that prioritize the passenger,” Rahwan told Science News. “But they want other people’s cars to protect pedestrians instead.” Autonomous vehicles bring not only moral dilemmas but also other challenges. When there is an accident, who should be responsible for it, the company of the autonomous vehicle, or the “driver”? In July, a self-driving taxi by Baidu hit a pedestrian in Wuhan, Hubei, who ran a red light. Baidu worked with the police and took the pedestrian to the hospital. In another accident in April in Seattle, US, the responsibility fell on the “driver” since the “driver” was on his phone. The situations of different accidents caused by autonomous vehicles are so complicated (复杂的) that “now there are no clear rules”, Ji Xuehong, a researcher from North China University of Technology. 1．How does the writer begin the first paragraph? A．By giving numbers. B．By raising a question. C．By telling a story. D．By comparing two things. 2．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? A．To call for clear rules for autonomous vehicles. B．To discuss whether to have autonomous vehicles. C．To talk about the challenges autonomous vehicles face. D．To discuss how to make a right decision in a dilemma. 3．What does Derek Leben think about the moral dilemma? A．It can be dealt with easily. B．There is no perfect solution. C．It can be avoided by design. D．It won’t happen in real life. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．The Successful Development of Autonomous Vehicles. B．Difficult Choices and Challenges for Autonomous Vehicles. C．How to Make Autonomous Vehicles Safer And Cheaper? D．Should Autonomous Vehicles Be Responsible for Accidents? 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文讲述了关于无人驾驶车辆在面对道德困境和其他挑战时所引发的一系列问题和讨论。 1．推理判断题。根据“What decision would you expect it to make?”可知是通过问题的方式开始的，故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“In life-and-death situations, should autonomous vehicles put passengers first or pedestrians? Should they prioritize (优先考虑) the greater good or one person’s safety? These have been a central topic for several years. However, there can be no completely perfect solution.”、“Autonomous vehicles bring not only moral dilemmas but also other challenges.”以及“The situations of different accidents caused by autonomous vehicles are so complicated (复杂的) that ‘now there are no clear rules’,”可知作者写这篇文章的目的是谈论无人驾驶车辆在道德困境和其他挑战中所面临的复杂情况。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“‘A moral dilemma is a dilemma; it has no clear solution by design (设计),’ wrote Derek Leben, a professor of ethics (伦理学).”可知Derek Leben认为道德困境是一个真正的困境，没有明确的解决方案，这表明他认为这种困境是无法轻易解决或避免的。故选B。 4．最佳标题题。本文讲述了关于无人驾驶车辆在面对道德困境和其他挑战时所引发的一系列问题和讨论。故选B。 （24-25九年级下·重庆·开学考试）The Spring Festival Gala is one of the most important TV shows in China, watched by billions of people every year.

It’s used to ask if a place feels like a big, fashionable city. Millions of foreigners like Baobaoxiong are visiting China and posting their travel videos. The visa-free transit policy (过境免签政策) plays an important role in this fashion. Travelers from 54 countries can stay in China for up to six days without a visa as long as they have a travel document (文件) and a connecting ticket (联运机票) to leave. The visa-free transit policy started in 2013. Back then, travelers were allowed to stay for 72 hours in seven different big cities in China. Now, travelers can stay for 144 hours in 41 places across 19 provinces. It has attracted (吸引) more travelers to China. In the first three months of this year, 26 percent more foreigners came to China through visa-free policies compared with the same period last year, according to the National Immigration Administration of China (国家移民管理局) . ▲ Through this policy, more and more people get to see the real China. “This is the whole reason why we decided to come to China: we wanted to see exactly what it’s like for ourselves,” said Irish YouTuber Luke in his online video. He thought Chengdu was unbelievably good, beautiful and modern, totally different from what he had heard about China from Western media. Yuyuantantian, a new media account (账号) under China Media Group, looked at 100 China travel videos made by foreigners. It found foreigners used to visit famous spots like the Palace Museum and the Great Wall. But now they prefer experiencing everyday activities like shopping at markets, riding shared bikes and joining square dancing in parks. These activities give foreigners a closer look at everyday life in China, said Yuyuantantian. 1．According to Paragraph 1, when are people the most likely (可能的) to ask “city bu city”? A．When they climb the Great Wall. B．When they grow vegetables in the field. C．When they feed chickens on the farm. D．When they walk on the Streets of Shanghai. 2．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

Often talked about in relation to sports, mental toughness is characterized by the ability to always perform well under stress. Research has shown that it is also a useful quality (品质) for students, with benefits (n. 益处) for school achievement, classroom behavior, and relationships with others. However, mental toughness is often misunderstood (误会). It is sometimes related to hiding your feelings, or not acknowledging (承认) your weaknesses, which can harm (v. 损害) student well-being, as well as school performance and socializing. So, what actually is mental toughness, and how can it be developed in schools? Students who show mental toughness are aware of and able to control their emotions. This helps them to think clearly under stress, on the day of exams for example. One way to help with this is to encourage students to talk to themselves in a positive and helpful way. Students may be upset if they don’t do as well on a task as they hoped. By asking themselves questions, such as “What would I do differently next time?”, they can stop thinking about the negatives (负面事物) and direct their attention towards improving in the future. Mental toughness means asking for help. Many students are too embarrassed to do it, for fear they would show weakness by acknowledging they don’t understand something. However, others actually consider it a positive quality. Recognizing when they are experiencing difficulties takes courage for students, but it also shows a willingness to learn and get better. Mental toughness is also about being open to learning, not being a know-it-all. Over time, the students who grow the most are those who like to explore things, looking for answers in books, online, or by paying attention to what’s happening around them. They also work together, helping each other with challenges. What’s more, mental toughness involves having a strong sense of self-belief and confidence in one’s abilities. Mentally tough students have a clear idea of their goals, and their wills (n. 意志) to achieve them are unwavering. They are not easily influenced by others’ opinions and are willing to step outside of their comfort zone (舒适圈) to reach their goals. To create mentally tough students and classrooms, it is important for teachers themselves to be role models (榜样). Teachers can develop their mental toughness in much the same way as students. In order to develop mental toughness, both students and teachers should realize that it is about having positive behaviors and attitudes that help them learn and improve. 1．What misunderstandings about mental toughness does the writer mention in the passage? ①Hiding feeling.         ②Not acknowledging weaknesses. ③Performing well under stress.     ④Being role models. A．①③ B．②④ C．①② D．③④ 2．According to the passage, what is mental toughness? A．It is a quality that helps students get achievements but may break relationships with others. B．It is the ability to never become upset, stressed or negative. C．It includes being able to ask for help and never stopping learning. D．It means always keeping trying through one’s own effort in the comfort zone. 3．Which of the following is the closet to the word “unwavering” in Paragraph 7 in meaning? A．Unshakable. B．Unacceptable. C．Unreasonable. D．Unanswerable. 4．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) to create mentally tough students? A．Unclear. B．Doubtful. C．Worried. D．Supportive. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文主要介绍什么是心理韧性以及如何在学校培养心理韧性。 1．细节理解题。根据“It is sometimes related to hiding your feelings, or not acknowledging (承认) your weaknesses, which can harm (v. 损害) student well-being, as well as school performance and socializing.”可知，文中提到的关于心理韧性的误解包括隐藏感受、不承认自己的劣势。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Mental toughness means asking for help.”及“Mental toughness is also about being open to learning, not being a know-it-all.”可知，心理韧性包括寻求帮助和从不停止学习。故选C。 3．词义猜测题。根据“They are not easily influenced by others’ opinions and are willing to step outside of their comfort zone (舒适圈) to reach their goals.”可知，他们不容易受到他人观点的影响，说明他们的意志是不动摇的，故划线单词表示“不动摇的”。故选A。 4．观点态度题。根据“To create mentally tough students and classrooms, it is important for teachers themselves to be role models (榜样)...

Directed by famous filmmaker Zhang Yimou, the show mixed traditional Chinese yangko dance with modern robot technology. In the performance, humanoid robots (robots shaped like humans) dressed in colorful costumes danced yangko, a joyful folk dance from northern China often seen during festivals. They spun (旋转) handkerchiefs quickly and made creative group patterns. These robots were developed by Unitree(宇树科技), a Chinese robotics company. This was not Unitree’s first success—in 2021, their robot cows named “Ben Ben” (犇犇) danced as backup for singer Andy Lau. The robots learned dance moves through AI and used laser navigation (激光导航) to move safely on the uneven stage. Their strong joints (关节) (like knees with 360N·m power) helped them balance perfectly during fast steps. Zhang Yimou explained, “This dance isn’t just fun—it shows how technology can bring new life to traditions.” Thanks to these innovations (创新), the robots won the hearts of millions. On social media, topics like “Robot Yangko” trended quickly. Young viewers called it “cool,” while older audiences loved its humor and festive spirit. The YangBOT program is a perfect mix of China’s tech progress and cultural pride. As one fan said, “It’s like watching the future and past dance together!” 1．The humanoid robots in the performance ________.

A chatbot is a computer program that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to imitate human thinking and writing. The book’s text was produced using it, and Reshi created illustrations (插图) using another AI program, Midjourney, which uses special computation (计算) rules to translate words into images. When Reshi posted the book online, it became very popular with children. Some people praised Reshi for being clever. However, not everyone was happy. Some artists criticized the book. They said the pictures were of poor quality, and more importantly, the way the pictures were made was a big problem. Midjourney works by searching through millions of images on the internet. It uses algorithms to find patterns in these images and make new ones. The problem is, Midjourney takes images from artists’ work without asking for permission. Some companies have already started using AI instead of human workers. For example, an AI robot told jokes at a comedy club instead of a person. The San Francisco Ballet also used AI-created images for advertising a ballet show called The Nutcracker. Many artists and writers are worried about their jobs. They fear that if AI can create art and writing for less money, people may not pay them for their work. Josephine, a journalist who makes money from writing, says, “I love writing, but it’s troubling to see people looking for cheaper choices instead of supporting real human writers.” There is a real concern about protecting the work of artists and writers who could have their creations used by AI programs. The technology industry that develops these tools should include artists in the process of making them. 1．The passage is most likely to be taken from a ________. A．newspaper B．science fiction C．storybook D．travel guide 2．What does the underlined word “algorithms” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Creative ideas. B．Millions of pictures. C．Useful tools. D．Computation rules. 3．Which of the following statements is TRUE about Midjourney? A．Midjourney is a chatbot that helps writers create stories. B．Midjourney uses algorithms to search images from the internet to create new ones. C．Midjourney was used by Reshi to write the text of Alice and Sparkle. D．Midjourney always asks for permission before using artists’ images. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To support the use of AI tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney in creative industries. B．To show the popularity of Reshi’s book Alice and Sparkle among children. C．To discuss the advantages and challenges of AI in art and writing, especially on human creators. D．To blame (责备) the poor quality of AI-generated illustrations in Reshi’s book. （24-25九年级下·重庆大足·开学考试）It’s common that parents and children disagree with each other. That’s what we call conflicts (冲突). Some of the conflicts are small and easy to end. Others may need parents to take action and help. To someone’s surprise, by solving them together, family conflicts can help children learn important life skills. Some simple childhood games show how conflict and repair work. For example, in peek-a-boo (躲猫猫), a baby might feel a little unhappy and worried when he can’t see his parent. But when the parent returns, everything is OK. As children grow older, they play games like hide and seek. There are small moments of upset followed by great fun and joy. These games help children prepare for all kinds of problems in the future. As children grow up, they develop their life skills by working through conflicts. When a conflict is too serious for a child, parents may step in. To set a good example, parents could try to remain cool first— don’t be too excited or angry. Next, they can say some kind and nice things to make children feel better. Now here comes the chance for parents and children to sit down. Then they can have a face-to-face communication. This helps them rebuild the love and trust for each other. In this way, children learn that sometimes things go wrong. But if they deal with them properly, they can always rebuild healthy and strong relationships with others. A healthy process of going through conflict and repair with their parents promises children’s happiness and social success in the future. 1．Why are family conflicts helpful according to Paragraph 1?

It’s so Beijing,” said a 33-year-old Beijing person with the family name of Lin. Lin and her 14-year-old cousin were enjoying a city walk along the Beijing Central Axis (中轴线). On this walk, they saw most of the old city buildings of Beijing, like the Forbidden City and the Bell and Drum Towers. Since the show “Glory Is Back! Beijing (《登场了！北京中轴线》)” was shown in July, people like Lin traveled on foot to know the axis better themselves. Dating back to the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), the 7. 8-kilometer-long Beijing Central Axis starts with Yongdingmen Gate in the south and ends with the Bell and Drum Towers in the north. It matches Forbidden City and the markets at the Bell and Drum Towers area. This way of city planning is described as “court (宫廷) in the front, market in the back”. Other buildings like the Imperial Ancestral Temple (太庙) stands in the east and the Alter of Land and Grain (社稷坛) lies on the west side of the axis. Chinese professor Lyu Zhou said that when he walked around the Bell and Drum Towers, he could find peace in the busy city life. At a square between the Bell Tower and the Drum Towers, you can see people relaxing, cycling and playing games and even celebrating life events. “The towers were once our meeting places. We used to go on dates there. You could say that the towers have seen our love grow,” said a young couple who were taking wedding photos under the Bell and Drum Towers. The traveler Marco Polo (1254-1324) wrote about what he saw along the Central Axis back in the Yuan Dynasty in The Travels of Marco Polo: “Up and down the city there are beautiful palaces... and fine houses in great numbers.” And Osvald Siren (1879-1966) from Sweden took many photos in Beijing back in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These western records have given people around the world a taste of its history. 1．How does the writer lead in the topic in the first paragraph? A．By asking questions. B．By giving an example. C．By making comparisons. D．By listing numbers. 2．The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refers to “________”. A．Beijing Central Axis B．Yongdingmen Gate C．the Bell and Drum Towers D．the Forbidden City 3．Which of the following describes the Beijing Central Axis correctly? A． B． C． D． 4．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Marco Polo took many photos when visiting there. B．These western records caused much trouble in the 19th century.

But have you ever wondered why, although it looks harmless, paper can sometimes cause accidental cuts? ②Scientists have done some researches to uncover the physics behind paper cuts and to find out which types of paper are more likely to hurt our fingers. Three scientists from Denmark have found that 65-micrometer (微米)-thick paper is most likely to cut our skin. They won the Physics Prize for this finding at the 2024 Pineapple Science Award in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, on November 23. ③The scientists tested papers with different thicknesses (from 30 to 220 micrometers) on man-made fingers whose skin is similar to the human skin. The following are what they found. ④For thin paper, the scientists found it couldn’t cut the “fingers”. Instead, it just bent, changing the shape and being no longer straight. And for thicker paper, it left a mark on the fingers but couldn’t break the “skin”. ⑤When they tried the 65-micrometer-thick paper, the scientists found it cut the fingers the most, about once every five tries. The paper used for magazines such as Nature and Science is of a thickness close to this. Common A4 paper is about 100 micrometers thick, which is much safer. ⑥The cutting angle (角度) also made a difference. Pushing the paper straight down onto the fingers didn’t often result in a cut. Pushing the paper at a slanted (倾斜的) angle resulted in more cuts. ⑦According to the scientists, their findings could not only reduce the risk of paper cuts, but also lead to safer paper products. For example, they can avoid using paper that is too sharp or have just the right thickness for cutting, especially when doing hands-on activities. They even created a cheap paper knife, the Papermachete, that can cut through apples and chicken. 1．Which sentence has the same meaning of “bent (bend)” as that in Paragraph 4? A．She bent his head a little to avoid getting hurt. B．Suddenly, he swam to a river bend and disappeared. C．To be fair, he refused to bend the rules for anyone. D．The little tree bent with the pressure of the heavy snow. 2．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．To explain why paper can sometimes cause cuts. B．To tell people how to avoid getting paper cuts in daily lives. C．To show why paper is widely used in our everyday lives. D．To describe the use of different kinds of paper. 3．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4．What can be inferred from the passage? A．The thicker paper people use, the less likely they will get cut. B．Paper with all thicknesses were tested by the scientists in the researches. C．The Papermachete can be used to out through apples and chicken. D．The scientists’ findings may lead to improvements in paper products. （24-25九年级下·重庆·开学考试） Imagine you are in a dark field at night, surrounded by tiny, twinkling lights. These aren’t stars, but fireflies (萤火虫), tiny insects that have fascinated people for centuries with their magical glow (微光). Do you know how fireflies make their tails glow? It happens when two chemicals in their own bodies join together and then produce light. But why do fireflies need to make glow in the dark? Now, imagine you are a firefly looking for someone special in the dark. How would you find Mr. or Ms. Right? Fireflies use their glowing lights to send “hello” messages to each other. Each kind of firefly has its own special ways. The male fireflies send out signs, and the female fireflies answer back in their own special ways. They use their lights as a tool to get to know each other better, so that they can give birth to new fireflies. ________ Imagine you are an adult firefly in the shadows, and a big spider is trying to catch you. What can you do? You turn on your light! It’s like a sign saying, “I taste awful. Do not eat me!” But in today’s world, fireflies face a new challenge: light pollution. As cities grow and become more brightly lit, it becomes harder for fireflies to communicate using their lights.

They were the first people to live in New Zealand. In the late 18th century, Europeans came to live in New Zealand. At that time, the population of the Maori was maybe 250,000 in New Zealand. Over the next one hundred years, wars and disease killed many Maori people. By the end of the 19th century, there were only about 40,000 Maori people left. During this time, the Maori also lost much of their land to the Europeans. Many of them were afraid that they might lose their traditions and language too, but this did not happen. Today the Maori population is increasing. There are about 500,000 Maori people in New Zealand. Most live like other New Zealanders, but they are keeping the Maori language and traditions alive. There are now Maori radio and television stations. Many schools teach in the Maori language. Nearly one half of Maori language speakers are 25 years old or younger. Maori culture is also alive and well. At the center of Maori culture is the “marae”. This is a special place for ceremonies and meetings. Today the number of marae in New Zealand is increasing. Many of the new marae are in the cities. Now people in the cities can meet and learn about their Maori traditions. Today most New Zealand cities have Maori festivals each year. Among festival activities are competitions in speaking, dancing and singing. Children practice for months. Then all the Maori in the area arrive to watch the competitions and see who wins. The Maori have gone through hard times. Today they live a comfortable, modern life.

On top of this “moral dilemma (道德困境)”, if the car doesn’t turn, you might get hurt. What decision would you expect it to make? In life-and-death situations, should autonomous vehicles put passengers first or pedestrians? Should they prioritize (优先考虑) the greater good or one person’s safety? These have been a central topic for several years. However, there can be no completely perfect solution. “A moral dilemma is a dilemma; it has no clear solution by design (设计),” wrote Derek Leben, a professor of ethics (伦理学). When studying these questions of autonomous vehicles, Iyad Rahwan, an MIT scientist, found that people are selfish. “People buying these cars, they want cars that prioritize the passenger,” Rahwan told Science News. “But they want other people’s cars to protect pedestrians instead.” Autonomous vehicles bring not only moral dilemmas but also other challenges. When there is an accident, who should be responsible for it, the company of the autonomous vehicle, or the “driver”? In July, a self-driving taxi by Baidu hit a pedestrian in Wuhan, Hubei, who ran a red light. Baidu worked with the police and took the pedestrian to the hospital. In another accident in April in Seattle, US, the responsibility fell on the “driver” since the “driver” was on his phone. The situations of different accidents caused by autonomous vehicles are so complicated (复杂的) that “now there are no clear rules”, Ji Xuehong, a researcher from North China University of Technology. 1．How does the writer begin the first paragraph? A．By giving numbers. B．By raising a question. C．By telling a story. D．By comparing two things. 2．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? A．To call for clear rules for autonomous vehicles. B．To discuss whether to have autonomous vehicles. C．To talk about the challenges autonomous vehicles face. D．To discuss how to make a right decision in a dilemma. 3．What does Derek Leben think about the moral dilemma? A．It can be dealt with easily. B．There is no perfect solution. C．It can be avoided by design. D．It won’t happen in real life. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．The Successful Development of Autonomous Vehicles. B．Difficult Choices and Challenges for Autonomous Vehicles. C．How to Make Autonomous Vehicles Safer And Cheaper?

It’s used to ask if a place feels like a big, fashionable city. Millions of foreigners like Baobaoxiong are visiting China and posting their travel videos. The visa-free transit policy (过境免签政策) plays an important role in this fashion. Travelers from 54 countries can stay in China for up to six days without a visa as long as they have a travel document (文件) and a connecting ticket (联运机票) to leave. The visa-free transit policy started in 2013. Back then, travelers were allowed to stay for 72 hours in seven different big cities in China. Now, travelers can stay for 144 hours in 41 places across 19 provinces. It has attracted (吸引) more travelers to China. In the first three months of this year, 26 percent more foreigners came to China through visa-free policies compared with the same period last year, according to the National Immigration Administration of China (国家移民管理局) . ▲ Through this policy, more and more people get to see the real China. “This is the whole reason why we decided to come to China: we wanted to see exactly what it’s like for ourselves,” said Irish YouTuber Luke in his online video. He thought Chengdu was unbelievably good, beautiful and modern, totally different from what he had heard about China from Western media. Yuyuantantian, a new media account (账号) under China Media Group, looked at 100 China travel videos made by foreigners. It found foreigners used to visit famous spots like the Palace Museum and the Great Wall. But now they prefer experiencing everyday activities like shopping at markets, riding shared bikes and joining square dancing in parks. These activities give foreigners a closer look at everyday life in China, said Yuyuantantian. 1．According to Paragraph 1, when are people the most likely (可能的) to ask “city bu city”? A．When they climb the Great Wall. B．When they grow vegetables in the field. C．When they feed chickens on the farm. D．When they walk on the Streets of Shanghai. 2．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．The history of the visa-free transit policy. B．The number of visitors attracted by the visa-free transit policy. C．The requirements for staying in China without a visa. D．The influence caused by the change in visa-free transit policy. 3．Which one is the best to fill in the ▲ ? A．No pain, no gain. B．Seeing is believing. C．Practice makes perfect. D．When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 4．What is the best title for the passage?

Often talked about in relation to sports, mental toughness is characterized by the ability to always perform well under stress. Research has shown that it is also a useful quality (品质) for students, with benefits (n. 益处) for school achievement, classroom behavior, and relationships with others. However, mental toughness is often misunderstood (误会). It is sometimes related to hiding your feelings, or not acknowledging (承认) your weaknesses, which can harm (v. 损害) student well-being, as well as school performance and socializing. So, what actually is mental toughness, and how can it be developed in schools? Students who show mental toughness are aware of and able to control their emotions. This helps them to think clearly under stress, on the day of exams for example. One way to help with this is to encourage students to talk to themselves in a positive and helpful way. Students may be upset if they don’t do as well on a task as they hoped. By asking themselves questions, such as “What would I do differently next time?”, they can stop thinking about the negatives (负面事物) and direct their attention towards improving in the future. Mental toughness means asking for help. Many students are too embarrassed to do it, for fear they would show weakness by acknowledging they don’t understand something. However, others actually consider it a positive quality. Recognizing when they are experiencing difficulties takes courage for students, but it also shows a willingness to learn and get better. Mental toughness is also about being open to learning, not being a know-it-all. Over time, the students who grow the most are those who like to explore things, looking for answers in books, online, or by paying attention to what’s happening around them. They also work together, helping each other with challenges. What’s more, mental toughness involves having a strong sense of self-belief and confidence in one’s abilities. Mentally tough students have a clear idea of their goals, and their wills (n. 意志) to achieve them are unwavering. They are not easily influenced by others’ opinions and are willing to step outside of their comfort zone (舒适圈) to reach their goals. To create mentally tough students and classrooms, it is important for teachers themselves to be role models (榜样). Teachers can develop their mental toughness in much the same way as students. In order to develop mental toughness, both students and teachers should realize that it is about having positive behaviors and attitudes that help them learn and improve. 1．What misunderstandings about mental toughness does the writer mention in the passage? ①Hiding feeling.         ②Not acknowledging weaknesses. ③Performing well under stress.     ④Being role models. A．①③ B．②④ C．①② D．③④ 2．According to the passage, what is mental toughness? A．It is a quality that helps students get achievements but may break relationships with others. B．It is the ability to never become upset, stressed or negative. C．It includes being able to ask for help and never stopping learning. D．It means always keeping trying through one’s own effort in the comfort zone. 3．Which of the following is the closet to the word “unwavering” in Paragraph 7 in meaning? A．Unshakable. B．Unacceptable. C．Unreasonable. D．Unanswerable. 4．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) to create mentally tough students? A．Unclear. B．Doubtful. C．Worried. D．Supportive. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
