One autumn day, however, I noticed that the path wasn’t looking so good It was full of rubbish that other walkers had left along the way. The next time we went there, I took a large bag with me. As we walked along the lake, we picked the rubbish up and put it in the bag. Before putting the bag into the car, I looked back at the lake shining in the sun and the trees full of beautiful red and golden leaves, and I smiled. It took us twice as long as usual to get all the way around the lake. But we felt a sense of satisfaction that couldn’t be put into words. We didn’t make the lake more beautiful, but we removed some things that made it less so. In this life we are all more important than we realize. Every single thing we do can add or take away from the beauty of this world. We all need to make wise choices to contribute to the world. We need to do our part and give something back. Maybe it is an act of kindness, a word of love, or even picking up a single piece of rubbish. 31. What did the writer do with his children according to Paragraph 1? A. They walked along the path. B.

When the sky turns gray and drops its silver threads (线), people can see a sea of colorful dots dancing under the raindrops. Yep! Many umbrellas come out! In China, people love umbrellas not only because they keep them dry but also because they add a touch of color to such days. Kids love umbrellas even more, and they are happy to pick out their favorite designs, from cartoon characters to flowery styles, making rainy days exciting experience. This practicality has led to a huge umbrella market in the country, with various styles, colors, and sizes to choose from. Now, let’s fly over to some Western countries. Here, you might find something interesting: People aren’t used to carrying umbrellas. Instead, they might put on their hats, jackets, or rush on rainy days. And many people believe that getting a little wet is also a different feeling. However, don’t be surprised if you see umbrellas in Western countries too. In the UK, the umbrella is a symbol of preparedness. With its changeable weather, from bright sunshine to sudden downpours, the British have learned to always have an umbrella at hand. It is considered polite to offer an umbrella to someone in need during rainy days. Whether to take an umbrella or not is more about cultural habits and lifestyle choices. It’s all about how we choose to enjoy life. So, the next time it rains, why not try something new? Reach for an umbrella and stroll (闲逛) through the street, or jump in puddles (水坑) and play in the rain. Either way, it’s sure to be a wonderful experience. 36. What does the underlined word “dots” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指)? A. Clouds. B. Raindrops. C. Umbrellas. D. Flowers. 37. Kids in China are happy on rainy days because they can _______.

C. By listing numbers. D. By asking a question. 39. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. It’s better to stay inside on rainy days. B. Having fun in the rain can be a way to enjoy life. C. It’s nice to walk around the street without an umbrella. D. Jumping in puddles is a terrible experience when it rains. 40. What would be the best title for the text? A. Rainy Day Habits Across Cultures B. Various Umbrellas on Rainy Days C. Dancing in the Rain with Umbrellas D. The Meanings of Rain in Different Cultures 【答案】36. C 37. C 38. A 39. B 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了不同国家的人在雨天的不同行为习惯，比如中国人喜欢使用雨伞，而西方国家的人有的不习惯带伞，英国的情况又有所不同，同时指出是否带伞是文化习惯和生活方式的选择，鼓励人们在雨天尝试新的体验来享受生活。 【36题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“people can see a sea of colorful dots dancing under the raindrops. Yep! Many umbrellas come out!”可知，人们能看到彩色的“dots”在雨滴下舞动，很多雨伞出现了；据此可以推断，划线单词“dots”指的是“umbrellas”。故选C。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Kids love umbrellas even more, and they are happy to pick out their favorite designs, from cartoon characters to flowery styles, making rainy days exciting experience.”可知，中国的孩子们在下雨天开心是因为他们可以挑选并使用自己喜欢的雨伞设计。故选C。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三“People aren’t used to carrying umbrellas. Instead, they might put on their hats, jackets, or rush on rainy days.”可知，作者先指出在一些西方国家人们不习惯带伞，然后举例说明他们在雨天的做法：戴上帽子、穿上夹克，或者在雨天赶路；接着又举例说明在英国雨伞的特殊意义和相关行为，所以作者是通过举例子的方式来展开这一段的。故选A。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Whether to take an umbrella or not is more about cultural habits and lifestyle choices... So, the next time it rains, why not try something new? Reach for an umbrella and stroll through the street, or jump in puddles and play in the rain. Either way, it’s sure to be a wonderful experience.”可知，是否带伞更多的是关于文化习惯和生活方式的选择，雨天是享受生活的机会，建议人们可以尝试在雨天打伞散步或跳进水坑；据此可以推断，在雨中寻找乐趣是一种享受生活的方式。故选B。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。文章主要对比了不同国家的人在雨天的不同习惯，包括中国和一些西方国家，重点在于阐述不同文化背景下人们的雨天习惯；选项A“跨文化的雨天习惯”适合作为文章的标题。故选A。 D Probably the biggest change to hit the working world in recent years has been generative AI (生成型人工智能). A report showed that 85% of workers could see at least 10% of their tasks affected by AI in some way. And how can students make sure their skills stay valuable in a world that feels like it’s being taken over by computers? Here are the experts’ suggestions. Work on your people skills. AI can summarize (总结) an article and program a computer, but it can’t win over a customer or stop a fight. So, try to get experience in jobs where you work with people — including difficult people! You could do this by working as a waiter or volunteering at a nursing home. Learn lots of things, or become an expert. If you have just one skill, you could be in trouble if AI gets really good at it. So students should consider taking extra (额外的) courses besides their main study courses. If you do focus on (关注) one area, just ensure you know more about it than AI does! Show you can do big, creative things AI can’t do. While AI can do long, boring tasks like comparing lots of information, it doesn’t push companies to develop new ideas or improve. And even if AI does the boring work, humans will still be needed to organize the projects in which AI is used. Develop adaptability. We can’t know for certain what the world of work will look like in the future — so the best skill to develop may be adaptability. You can make yourself better at this by looking for new experiences, like studying abroad or even taking courses, which force you to change to get used to new situations! The future of work with AI is challenging. But students can change and succeed. With AI’s help, you can learn more efficiently and solve problems more easily Face the difficulties and work hard, and you’ll make the journey into the AI-driven future be a step towards a better life. 41. What can AI do according to the text? ① summarize an article ② program a computer ③ win over a customer ④ stop a fight A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ③④ 42. Why should students consider taking extra courses? A. To develop people skills. B. To drop their main courses. C. To focus on one area. D. To avoid being replaced by AI. 43. Which of the following shows “adaptability” in Paragraph 5? A. Tom invented a human-like robot. B. Sam organized a successful party. C. Tina made few friends in the club. D. Mary fit in well at her new school. 44. How does the writer feel about the future work with AI? A. Doubtful. B. Satisfied. C. Hopeful. D. Worried. 45. What is the text mainly about? A. The importance of AI in students’ life. B. How students can protect their futures from AI. C. The challenges AI brings to students. D. What changes students will face in the future. 【答案】41. A 42. D 43. D 44. C 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了生成型人工智能 (AI) 对工作世界的巨大影响，并给出了专家对学生如何确保自己技能在未来保持优势的建议。 41题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“AI can summarize an article and program a computer, but it can’t win over a customer or stop a fight.”可知，AI能够完成的任务是总结文章和编写程序。故选A。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“If you have just one skill, you could be in trouble if AI gets really good at it.

This is not just because playing it is fun. It is also because of a valuable lesson. ___46___ When I was a child, Grandpa taught me how to play the game. He was good at playing Chinese chess. We often played together. One day, my grandfather loudly said, “Check (将军)!” I realized that I lost it again. I didn’t feel sad but puzzled. ___47___ Grandpa said, “Look before you leap (跳).” He took out a notebook where he had recorded our games, and pointed out a situation. Then he asked me to think it over. ___48___ I did so. After reviewing the game, I realized my mistake. I truly understood the importance of “looking before leaping”. ___49___ During these competitions, “Look before you leap” was always front and center in my mind. When it was my turn, I would take a deep breath. Then I would think it over carefully. I would think over all the possibilities five moves ahead, which worked well. I hardly made mistakes. Once, I even beat an experienced competitor. ___50___ I believe that with my grandfather’s precious (珍贵的) lesson, I will keep improving. His words—“Look before you leap”—will always be in my mind. A. I wondered why I was always losing. B. And until now, I have won a few prizes. C. I once learned this lesson from the game. D. He also asked me to tell him the best chess move. E. Since then, I’ve joined in many Chinese chess competitions. 【答案】46. C 47. A 48. D 49. E 50.

It is also because of a valuable lesson.”可知，下象棋不仅有趣还能学到宝贵的道理，此处需要一句引出下文具体讲述作者从下棋中学到道理的经历，起到承上启下的作用；选项C“我曾经从这个游戏中学到了这个道理。”符合语境。故选C。 【47题详解】 根据上文“I realized that I lost it again. I didn’t feel sad but puzzled.”可知，作者意识到又输了棋，感到困惑，想知道为什么总是输；选项A“我想知道为什么我总是输。”符合语境。故选A。 【48题详解】 根据上文“Then he asked me to think it over.”和下文“I did so.”可知，前文爷爷指出一种情况并让作者仔细思考，而下文则表明作者照做了，所以此处应进一步说明爷爷对作者的要求；选项D“他还让我告诉他最好的一步棋。”符合语境。故选D。 【49题详解】 根据下文“During these competitions, ‘Look before you leap’ was always front and center in my mind.”可知，在这些比赛中“三思而后行”总是在作者脑海中，所以此处是指作者参加了许多比赛；选项E“从那以后，我参加了许多中国象棋比赛。”符合语境。故选E。 【50题详解】 根据上文“Once, I even beat an experienced competitor.”可知，作者在比赛中表现很好，甚至打败了有经验的对手，所以此处应进一步说明作者在比赛中获得的成绩；选项B“直到现在，我已经赢得了一些奖项。”符合语境。故选B。 Ⅴ.情景交际（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据情景提示，用得体的英语完成下列各题。 51. 别人对你说“You are so kind!”，你可以这样应答： ____________________________________________________________. 【答案】Thank you 【解析】 【详解】根据英语交际习惯，当别人赞美你时，通常会表示感谢，用“Thank you”。故填Thank you。 52. 你想邀请朋友一起种树，可以这样说： Would you like to _____________________________________________? 【答案】plant trees with me 【解析】 【详解】想邀请朋友一起种树，可以表达为“你愿意和我一起种树吗？”，would like to do sth.表示“愿意/想要做某事”，不定式符号to后跟动词原形；plant trees“种树”；with me“和我”。故填plant trees with me。 53. 上课铃响了，你可以这样提醒同学： Listen! ______________________________________________________. 【答案】There goes the bell/The bell is ringing 【解析】 【详解】根据题干可知，本句可表达为“听！铃声响了”，表示铃响了，可用“There goes the bell/The bell is ringing”表达。故填There goes the bell/The bell is ringing。 54. 朋友要去旅行，你可以这样表达祝愿： ____________________________________________________________! 【答案】Have a good trip / Enjoy yourself 【解析】 【详解】根据情景可知，该句应表达为“祝你旅途愉快/玩得开心”。分析句子类型为祈使句，动词用原形，Have a good trip“祝你旅途愉快”/Enjoy yourself“玩得开心”；故填Have a good trip / Enjoy yourself。 55. 你想知道对方航班的出发时间，可以这样问： ____________________________________________________________ your flight? 【答案】What time is 【解析】 【详解】根据情景可知此处可询问“你的航班是什么时间”，什么时间：what time；主语是your flight，be动词用is，放主语之前。故填What time is。 Ⅵ.看图写话（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据每小题所提供的图画情景和提示词，写出一个与图画情景相符的句子。 56. like ______________________________________________ 57. not, waste ______________________________________________ 58. worth, read ______________________________________________ 59. be, since 2015 ______________________________________________ 60. while ______________________________________________ 【答案】56.

B Near my home lies a small lake surrounded by a walking path (小路). When my children were younger, I took them to this place a few times a week. The experience of walking along the path was truly wonderful, as it allowed us to be close to nature and enjoy its beauty. One autumn day, however, I noticed that the path wasn’t looking so good It was full of rubbish that other walkers had left along the way. The next time we went there, I took a large bag with me. As we walked along the lake, we picked the rubbish up and put it in the bag. Before putting the bag into the car, I looked back at the lake shining in the sun and the trees full of beautiful red and golden leaves, and I smiled. It took us twice as long as usual to get all the way around the lake. But we felt a sense of satisfaction that couldn’t be put into words. We didn’t make the lake more beautiful, but we removed some things that made it less so. In this life we are all more important than we realize. Every single thing we do can add or take away from the beauty of this world. We all need to make wise choices to contribute to the world. We need to do our part and give something back. Maybe it is an act of kindness, a word of love, or even picking up a single piece of rubbish. 31. What did the writer do with his children according to Paragraph 1? A. They walked along the path. B. They picked up the rubbish. C. They drove around the lake. D. They collected large bags. 32. What happened to the path that autumn? A. It was littered with waste. B. It was blocked by trees. C. It was covered with leaves. D. It was destroyed by traffic. 33. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指)? A. The car. B. The lake. C. The sun. D. The rubbish. 34. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 4? A. To share personal stories. B. To discuss the problem of rubbish. C. To introduce the beauty of the lake. D. To encourage us to better the world. 35. What can best describe the writer? A. Polite. B. Easy-going. C. Lovely. D. Nature-loving. C Have you ever noticed how differently people from different countries deal with rainy days? When the sky turns gray and drops its silver threads (线), people can see a sea of colorful dots dancing under the raindrops. Yep! Many umbrellas come out! In China, people love umbrellas not only because they keep them dry but also because they add a touch of color to such days. Kids love umbrellas even more, and they are happy to pick out their favorite designs, from cartoon characters to flowery styles, making rainy days exciting experience. This practicality has led to a huge umbrella market in the country, with various styles, colors, and sizes to choose from. Now, let’s fly over to some Western countries. Here, you might find something interesting: People aren’t used to carrying umbrellas. Instead, they might put on their hats, jackets, or rush on rainy days. And many people believe that getting a little wet is also a different feeling. However, don’t be surprised if you see umbrellas in Western countries too. In the UK, the umbrella is a symbol of preparedness. With its changeable weather, from bright sunshine to sudden downpours, the British have learned to always have an umbrella at hand. It is considered polite to offer an umbrella to someone in need during rainy days. Whether to take an umbrella or not is more about cultural habits and lifestyle choices. It’s all about how we choose to enjoy life. So, the next time it rains, why not try something new? Reach for an umbrella and stroll (闲逛) through the street, or jump in puddles (水坑) and play in the rain. Either way, it’s sure to be a wonderful experience. 36. What does the underlined word “dots” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指)? A. Clouds. B. Raindrops. C. Umbrellas. D. Flowers. 37. Kids in China are happy on rainy days because they can _______. A. watch the raindrops B. design colorful umbrellas C. use their favorite umbrellas D. visit a huge market 38. How does the writer develop Paragraph 3? A. By giving examples. B. By telling a story. C. By listing numbers. D. By asking a question. 39. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. It’s better to stay inside on rainy days. B. Having fun in the rain can be a way to enjoy life. C. It’s nice to walk around the street without an umbrella. D. Jumping in puddles is a terrible experience when it rains. 40 What would be the best title for the text? A. Rainy Day Habits Across Cultures B. Various Umbrellas on Rainy Days C. Dancing in the Rain with Umbrellas D. The Meanings of Rain in Different Cultures D Probably the biggest change to hit the working world in recent years has been generative AI (生成型人工智能). A report showed that 85% of workers could see at least 10% of their tasks affected by AI in some way. And how can students make sure their skills stay valuable in a world that feels like it’s being taken over by computers? Here are the experts’ suggestions. Work on your people skills. AI can summarize (总结) an article and program a computer, but it can’t win over a customer or stop a fight. So, try to get experience in jobs where you work with people — including difficult people! You could do this by working as a waiter or volunteering at a nursing home. Learn lots of things, or become an expert. If you have just one skill, you could be in trouble if AI gets really good at it. So students should consider taking extra (额外的) courses besides their main study courses. If you do focus on (关注) one area, just ensure you know more about it than AI does! Show you can do big, creative things AI can’t do. While AI can do long, boring tasks like comparing lots of information, it doesn’t push companies to develop new ideas or improve. And even if AI does the boring work, humans will still be needed to organize the projects in which AI is used. Develop adaptability. We can’t know for certain what the world of work will look like in the future — so the best skill to develop may be adaptability. You can make yourself better at this by looking for new experiences, like studying abroad or even taking courses, which force you to change to get used to new situations!
