People need to make clicking sounds with their tongues. When the sound waves hit an object, they come back as echoes (回声). Then people listen to the differences in the echoes and tell 1 the thing is in the dark so they can find their way. This is called echolocation. By practicing this, blind people now can do many things, including riding bikes alone or playing basketball! All these used to be 2 for them without this skill. In the past, scientists thought only blind people could learn echolocation. According to a research, after a person loses sight, there are some changes in his brain. So his brain works 3 compared with the past. Scientists believed this was the key to learning echolocation. But now a new study shows that sighted (看得见的) people can learn it too! In the study, both blind and sighted people were trained for 10 weeks, learning to make clicking sounds and use them to navigate in the dark. With practice, both groups improved! What’s the 4 behind? When scientists studied their brains after the 10-week training, they found that the visual cortex (视觉皮层) became more active when people listened. This happened to both blind and sighted people! Scientists guess this part of brain doesn’t just process what people see—it also 5 information from other senses, like hearing, smell and taste. For blind people, echolocation is more than a skill that makes their lives easier. Many said they felt more confident. Even more, this discovery shows how 6 our brains are. Even if you can’t see, your brain can learn new skills, using sounds to help you “see” the world! 1．A．how B．where C．when D．why 2．A．useless B．funny C．boring D．impossible 3．A．slowly B．truly C．differently D．regularly 4．A．problem B．reason C．advantage D．purpose 5．A．deals with B．stands for C．consists of D．gives up 6．A．rare B．forgetful C．usual D．powerful 文章 2 （2025·上海虹口·一模）Choose the best answer and complete the passage (选择最恰当的选项完成短文) Seven hundred years before the Wright brothers began working on human flight, the Chinese had already mastered the skills—with kites. Kites may have been invented in China as early as 500 B．C． While some kites were flown for amusement, other kites played a key role for 1 . Chinese fishermen used kites to carry their lines far out to sea. Sailors used them to measure the wind. Kites also were flown in ancient times to create a link between earth and sky. It was natural for ancient Chinese leaders to look to kites as a way to protect their kingdom. General Huan Teng flew kites during a night battle. When the kites flew overhead, the noise they made 2 the enemy and drove them away. The greatest Chinese kites were the man-carriers. They were built from 3 bamboo poles tied tightly together and then covered with silk, so they could support a man’s weight. The kites were much larger than a small airplane. A pilot was fastened to the kite and 4 it by grasping the bamboo poles. In times of peace, man-carrying kites put on air shows. Their flights attracted huge crowds. In the late 1200s, Italian explorer Marco Polo witnessed one of these shows. What he saw made him feel 5 , and he wrote a detailed description of it. When he returned to Italy, most people refused to believe him. They could not imagine that a person could fly. Centuries passed before Europeans learned the 6 of flight—often by flying kites made in China.

Before he died, he began a new symphony, but n 1 finished it. Computer scientists and musicians now used artificial intelligence to finish his 10th Symphony. Ludwig van Beethoven was born over 250 years ago, yet his music is still played daily around the world. His work is often used as the background music in movies, TV shows, and even c 2 for children. A symphony is a long, complicated piece of classical music, usually divided into four parts. The four parts are often l 3 by “themes”—repeated musical ideas that tie the whole piece together. When Beethoven died in 1827, he had some ideas for a 10th Symphony. But all that he left behind were some notes about the piece and a few short bits of written music. In 2019, a special team of musicians, computer scientists, and historians was formed. Their g 4 : to try to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony to celebrate his 250th birthday. The team didn’t just want to complete the symphony. They wanted to come as c 5 as possible to producing the symphony that Beethoven meant to write. That’s where deep learning came in. To use an AI to help with the symphony, the team turned every piece of music that Beethoven ever wrote into a form the computer could understand. By i 6 the program to all of Beethoven’s music, the AI could look for patterns in the way Beethoven wrote. Other members of the team worked to figure out what Beethoven was planning to do. One early test told the team they were on the right track. They took a few minutes of music created by the AI, and played it for Beethoven experts, musicians, and reporters. Nobody could tell the difference. F 7 , the AI had the challenge of trying to connect the little musical bits into a symphony. It took over two years to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony. Not simply a melody, but 40 minutes of music for a full orchestra. So, Beethoven now has a 10th Symphony. And though Beethoven didn’t write it all, the team feels sure that the music is very much like what he might have written, if he’d had the chance. 文章 2 （2025·上海黄浦·一模）Can robots take the place of artists? Some people think machines can compete with artists. Yet, many believe that true art can only come from human hands. So, can robots take the place of artists? Yes-Robots are the artists of the futureCreating a robot is, in some ways, an art form. The human engineer must think creatively about what the robot will do and then bring that idea to life. Because robots are designed with imagination and creativity, they can also create art. Many famous artists today 1 robots to help with their work. These artists believe that robots have a special ability. 2 human artists, who might worry if their work isn’t good enough or wonder whether to keep going, robots are reliable. They don’t get discouraged or 3 . Robots can be just as skilled as human artists and could even take the place of them in creating art. No-Human skill is what makes artOne reason millions of people visit museums and galleries each year is to see art created by humans. Art made by a robot doesn’t have the same feeling and emotion that human-made art has, and it doesn’t have the same impact on the audience. People are 4 art when they can see the love and skill behind it. Imperfections in the artwork can also make it 5 , showing the human touch behind it. Robots can’t take the place of artists because humans have a natural drive to create. From a young age, people pick up crayons, pencils, or pens and start drawing.

On holiday, many will find themselves in foreign lands. Things are often different and new to them, 1 the language. In the past, they might have carried a dictionary with them. But nowadays more and more of them are using free translation apps not only to understand a passage but also to talk. With the conversation section on these apps, you can speak into the phone and hear a spoken translation moments later. Though that would always be helpful, some translation might 2 you. Take one of the best-known translation apps as an example. If we say “I’m peanut butter-free” to it, in French or Italian, the app translates it as “I’m without peanut butter.” It’s true to the words, while the meaning is totally wrong. The best tool may not be a translation app at all. Then how about an AI system? Let’s try ChatGPT. Tell it “Write a message in Spanish to a waiter. I’m peanut butter-free, so I’d like some sandwiches without peanut.” It produces a 3 passage. The AI system does more than just translate. It’s more like a native dinner guide. Some say that in this age of AI, people no longer need to learn a foreign language. Douglas Hobstadter, a polyglot (a man who speaks or understands many languages) 4 . He describes giving a difficult speech in Chinese. It takes a lot of work without the help of AI, but in the end, you feel a sense of achievement. Which would you be proud of, climbing to the top of Qomolangma (珠穆朗玛峰) or taking a helicopter there? As AI becomes more popular, people divide into two groups. Some go on learning languages. They want to exercise their brains, learn a lot about other cultures and 5 chat with foreign friends. Others show their respect to the language learners. “Good for you, but that’s a bit painful for me,” they might say. What’s your opinion on this 6 ? Is it still necessary to learn languages? 1．A．except B．including C．without D．beyond 2．A．surprise B．attract C．prevent D．recognize 3．A．similar B．strange C．perfect D．humorous 4．A．replies B．disagrees C．wonders D．denies 5．A．actually B．politely C．honestly D．directly 6．A．review B．lecture C．debate D．interview 文章 2 （2025·上海杨浦·一模）Have we lost the ability to focus on a single task? Daniel Goleman thinks so. Here, the bestselling science writer shares e 1 that show how technology takes over our attention and weakens real-life connections. On a ferry to a holiday island, a little girl was nervous and hugged her mother tightly. The mother, however, didn’t seem to n 2 ; she was focused on her tablet the whole time. Something similar happened a few minutes later in a shared taxi van with nine students going on a weekend trip. As soon as they sat down, everyone began checking their phones or tablets. There was little conversation, just silence. These moments show how devices like mobile phones and tablets take our attention away from the people around us. Among all age groups, teenagers are e 3 affected. In recent years, their monthly text messages have doubled, reaching an average of 3, 417. At the same time, the time they spend on face to face conversation has become l 4 . Young people may be good with devices, but they often have trouble understanding body language or behavior in person. This can lead to embarrassing or even r 5 actions, like checking a text during a conversation without realizing it might upset someone. Adults also face challenges in focusing. In Mexico, a person who works in advertising says people used to watch longer videos, but now they quickly lose i 6 and check their phones. Some offices have stopped using laptops and phones during meetings to help people focus. A teacher who loves movies is reading a book about a famous director. But he finds it hard to read more than two pages without wanting to check his email. He w 7 deeply that he’s losing his ability to concentrate. Goleman suggests that by understanding these effects, we can take steps to balance technology use and rebuild meaningful connections. 一、阅读理解 （2025·上海青浦·一模）Do you agree with gene (基因) editing? Andy: Every year, many babies are born with genetic (遗传的) problems. If we can get rid of these problems by editing their genes, we can save many lives. Meanwhile, editing genes allows parents to choose their babies’ appearance and even intelligence. This can give their children a better future. However, to stop some people from using this technology in bad ways, it’s necessary to have laws that tell us how we are allowed to edit genes. Diana: Parents make the decision to edit a baby’s genes without their children’s agreement. This goes against the rights of these unborn children. More importantly, this technology may destroy humans’ genetic diversity (多样性) . In my opinion, you are unique and no one can replace you. However, this could change if parents can edit their babies’ genes. Everyone might look the same someday. Cici: This new technology can help fix babies’ problems that they are born with, like heart diseases. Many children suffer from these things. ________ But with this technology, all babies can be born healthy and their parents won’t have to worry about them. Kate: This technology could be risky. It could result in some problems for babies if it is not used properly. Their parents may regret this. What’s worse, if only rich people can afford it, gene editing could be seen as unfair to poor families. The rich would be able to make their children clever and good-looking, while ordinary people could not. Rich families would get richer and poor families would get poorer. 1．What does Andy think is needed to prevent people from using gene editing in wrong ways? A．Getting rid of genetic problems.

Scientists are working to save world’s plants from dying out. Storing a seed correctly can make its life longer by hundreds of years. Just like a regular bank, a seed bank is a safe place to save for the future. But this special vault contains seeds, not money! Find out how the scientists do it… 1. Collection Successful seed banking starts with collecting! Along with the seeds, scientists must gather essential information about the plants’ location and time of year they were gathered. 2. Drying out The drying room is a lot less humid than a regular room. Depending on a seed’s size, it’ll stay there for between two weeks and six months, slowly drying out. 3. Clean up & X-rays They are either cleaned by hand or with a machine that removes dirt and damaged seeds. Then, an X-ray machine examines a sample of the seeds to check what percentage of them are damaged, empty or have bugs inside! 4. Into the vault It’s now time for most of the seeds to go into the vault! They’re stored in air-tight containers at -20°C in underground rooms. If all goes to plan, they should survive for hundreds of years. 5. Testing time After a few months, a sample will be tested to see if they’ve survived, Scientists take a careful note of the best ways to germinate each seed so that they can be grown successfully by scientists of the future. 6.

These China-made robots recently showed their amazing s 1 at the China-Cambodia “Golden Dragon 2024” joint exercise (联合演习) in May. During the joint exercise, Chinese team members were able to control remotely (遥控) a robot dog called Go2. It quickly checked for obstacles (障碍物) like fences and old tires. With cameras on its head, Go2 can send l 2 video back to headquarters. Go2 is also very small. It w 3 only 15 kilograms. It can do things like jumping, moving backward and even lying down—just like a real dog. It can work for two to four hours at a time before it needs a “rest”. A heavier robot dog, Bl, can not only check areas but also a 4 . It carries a gun on its back and can shoot when ordered to. It can carry things as heavy as 80 kilograms on its back. The robot dogs can help soldiers with d 5 tasks, such as going through rain forests or other unclear environments. Their help can stop more soldiers from getting hurt. Apart from humans’ best “robot friend”, the joint exercise also showed more types of smart equipment, such as drones (无人机). Instead of fighting in a war, these smart m 6 are used to solve common threats (威胁) like terrorism and natural disasters. Robot dogs play an important role in many o 7 areas. During the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou in 2023, robot dogs helped find and return thrown discuses (铁饼). Without the robots, people would have needed to cover over 7, 000 meters in a single competition. Robot dogs can also be “lifesavers”. Some robot dogs can “see” clearly through smoke when there’s a fire thanks to their special cameras. （2025·上海青浦·一模）In recent years, there has been a shortage of people applying to work as waiters in the UK. Because of this, some b 1 are using robots in different jobs to replace humans. Some robots can already make pizzas, and others operate as waiters. Some of them look like bookshelves on wheels, with shelves for trays and plates. They can g 2 customers and show them to their table, while human employees take food orders and load the plates on and off the robots. Some people think robots are the future of dining, but others say it’s not a good idea. What do you think, should robots work in restaurants? Yes—robots are efficient and fun Robots are a great s 3 for those restaurants that are short of waiters. They are expensive to buy but they don’t need to be paid, so they can work out cheaper than people. Also, machines don’t need breaks or holidays, and they can work long hours, which humans find t 4 . Some people say that robots make fewer mistakes than humans, plus they can do the basic jobs that are boring for people, freeing up the human waiters to do more complicated jobs. Besides, robots are a fun addition because they can a 5 new customers to restaurants. No—robots can’t replace people Who wants to talk to a machine? Diners want human communication, and some people might even find a robot waiter upsetting. Also, considering how much they cost, robot waiters don’t do much. They can’t answer questions that they aren’t p 6 to answer, so a human will often have to step in anyway. Plus, most of the robot waiters used at the moment require staff to load and unload their trays. Even if they were amazing, we shouldn’t use them instead of humans, because it’s unfair to take people’s jobs away. Also, robot waiters may not react f 7 enough if an object or a person appears unexpectedly in their path, and what if they run out of power or drop things? 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 热点03 科普知识与现代技术 人工智能与教育：AI技术在教育领域的应用，如智能辅导、在线考试、听力训练等，将成为中考的重要内容。 现代技术的日常生活应用：如移动支付、高铁、共享单车等“中国新四大发明”，体现了现代技术对生活的便利性。 科技与未来生活：包括机器人技术、智能家居等，探讨科技如何改变未来的生活方式。 科技创新与社会：如大数据、云计算等前沿技术对社会发展的推动作用，以及科技与环境保护、可持续发展的关系。 这些内容不仅考查学生对现代技术的理解，还引导他们思考科技对社会和个人生活的深远影响。 （建议用时：40分钟） 科普知识 文章 1 （2025·上海浦东新·一模）Do you know some people can “see” the world by using their ears?

Nobody could tell the difference. F 7 , the AI had the challenge of trying to connect the little musical bits into a symphony. It took over two years to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony. Not simply a melody, but 40 minutes of music for a full orchestra. So, Beethoven now has a 10th Symphony. And though Beethoven didn’t write it all, the team feels sure that the music is very much like what he might have written, if he’d had the chance. 【答案】1．(n)ever 2．(c)artoons 3．(l)inked 4．(g)oal 5．(c)lose 6．(i)ntroducing 7．(F)inally 【导语】本文主要讲了贝多芬生前未完成的第十部交响曲如今有团队欲借人工智能完成，以及相关的背景和团队所做的努力。 1．句意：在他去世之前，他开始创作一部新的交响曲但从未完成它。根据“Before he died, he began a new symphony”结合首字母提示可知，此处应指去世之前开始创造新的交响曲，但是没有完成，never“从未”。故填(n)ever。 2．句意：他的作品经常被用作电影、电视节目甚至儿童漫画的背景音乐。根据“for children”结合首字母提示可知，此处应指儿童漫画，cartoon“漫画”，可数名词，此处应用复数形式表示泛指。故填(c)artoons。 3．句意：这四个部分通常由“主题”联系在一起——重复的音乐思想将整个作品联系在一起。根据“repeated musical ideas that tie the whole piece together”结合首字母提示可知，此处应指交响乐的四个部分是被主题连接起来的，be linked by“被……连接”。故填(l)inked。 4．句意：他们的目标是：努力完成贝多芬的第十交响曲，以庆祝他的250岁生日。根据“to try to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony to celebrate his 250th birthday”结合首字母提示可知，此处应是不定式表示目的，因此应指目标，goal“目标”，可数名词，此处目标只有一个，因此应用名词单数形式。故填(g)oal。 5．句意：他们想要尽可能地接近贝多芬想要写的交响曲。根据“The team didn’t just want to complete the symphony.

Some people think machines can compete with artists. Yet, many believe that true art can only come from human hands. So, can robots take the place of artists? Yes-Robots are the artists of the futureCreating a robot is, in some ways, an art form. The human engineer must think creatively about what the robot will do and then bring that idea to life. Because robots are designed with imagination and creativity, they can also create art. Many famous artists today 1 robots to help with their work. These artists believe that robots have a special ability. 2 human artists, who might worry if their work isn’t good enough or wonder whether to keep going, robots are reliable. They don’t get discouraged or 3 . Robots can be just as skilled as human artists and could even take the place of them in creating art. No-Human skill is what makes artOne reason millions of people visit museums and galleries each year is to see art created by humans. Art made by a robot doesn’t have the same feeling and emotion that human-made art has, and it doesn’t have the same impact on the audience. People are 4 art when they can see the love and skill behind it. Imperfections in the artwork can also make it 5 , showing the human touch behind it.

On holiday, many will find themselves in foreign lands. Things are often different and new to them, 1 the language. In the past, they might have carried a dictionary with them. But nowadays more and more of them are using free translation apps not only to understand a passage but also to talk. With the conversation section on these apps, you can speak into the phone and hear a spoken translation moments later. Though that would always be helpful, some translation might 2 you. Take one of the best-known translation apps as an example. If we say “I’m peanut butter-free” to it, in French or Italian, the app translates it as “I’m without peanut butter.” It’s true to the words, while the meaning is totally wrong. The best tool may not be a translation app at all. Then how about an AI system? Let’s try ChatGPT. Tell it “Write a message in Spanish to a waiter. I’m peanut butter-free, so I’d like some sandwiches without peanut.” It produces a 3 passage. The AI system does more than just translate. It’s more like a native dinner guide. Some say that in this age of AI, people no longer need to learn a foreign language. Douglas Hobstadter, a polyglot (a man who speaks or understands many languages) 4 . He describes giving a difficult speech in Chinese. It takes a lot of work without the help of AI, but in the end, you feel a sense of achievement. Which would you be proud of, climbing to the top of Qomolangma (珠穆朗玛峰) or taking a helicopter there? As AI becomes more popular, people divide into two groups. Some go on learning languages. They want to exercise their brains, learn a lot about other cultures and 5 chat with foreign friends. Others show their respect to the language learners. “Good for you, but that’s a bit painful for me,” they might say. What’s your opinion on this 6 ? Is it still necessary to learn languages? 1．A．except B．including C．without D．beyond 2．A．surprise B．attract C．prevent D．recognize 3．A．similar B．strange C．perfect D．humorous 4．A．replies B．disagrees C．wonders D．denies 5．A．actually B．politely C．honestly D．directly 6．A．review B．lecture C．debate D．interview 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．D 6．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了随着人工智能的发展，人们对是否还需要学习外语的不同观点。 1．句意：对他们来说，事物往往是不同的、新鲜的，包括语言。 except除了；including包括；without没有；beyond超越。根据“Things are often different and new to them, ... the language.”可知，此处表达“包括语言”。故选B。 2．句意：虽然这总是有用的，但有些翻译可能会让你感到惊讶。 surprise使惊讶；attract吸引；prevent阻止；recognize识别。根据下文“It’s true to the words, while the meaning is totally wrong.”可知，此处表达有些翻译可能“使你惊讶”。故选A。 3．句意：人工智能生产了一篇完美的文章。 similar相似的；strange陌生的；perfect完美的；humorous幽默的。根据“Tell it ‘Write a message in Spanish to a waiter.

Daniel Goleman thinks so. Here, the bestselling science writer shares e 1 that show how technology takes over our attention and weakens real-life connections. On a ferry to a holiday island, a little girl was nervous and hugged her mother tightly. The mother, however, didn’t seem to n 2 ; she was focused on her tablet the whole time. Something similar happened a few minutes later in a shared taxi van with nine students going on a weekend trip. As soon as they sat down, everyone began checking their phones or tablets. There was little conversation, just silence. These moments show how devices like mobile phones and tablets take our attention away from the people around us. Among all age groups, teenagers are e 3 affected. In recent years, their monthly text messages have doubled, reaching an average of 3, 417. At the same time, the time they spend on face to face conversation has become l 4 . Young people may be good with devices, but they often have trouble understanding body language or behavior in person. This can lead to embarrassing or even r 5 actions, like checking a text during a conversation without realizing it might upset someone. Adults also face challenges in focusing. In Mexico, a person who works in advertising says people used to watch longer videos, but now they quickly lose i 6 and check their phones. Some offices have stopped using laptops and phones during meetings to help people focus. A teacher who loves movies is reading a book about a famous director. But he finds it hard to read more than two pages without wanting to check his email. He w 7 deeply that he’s losing his ability to concentrate. Goleman suggests that by understanding these effects, we can take steps to balance technology use and rebuild meaningful connections. 【答案】1．(e)xamples 2．(n)otice 3．(e)specially 4．(l)ess 5．(r)ude 6．(i)nterest 7．(w)orries 【导语】本文探讨了技术对人际交往和注意力集中的影响，并呼吁人们关注这一问题，采取措施加以应对。 1．句意：在这里，这位畅销书科普作家分享了一些例子，这些例子表明技术如何占据我们的注意力并削弱现实生活中的人际联系。根据“that show how technology takes over our attention and weakens real-life connections”，可知，此处指分享了一些例子，时态为一般现在时，结合“show”用的动词原形，先行词example“例子”，用作复数。故填(e)xamples。 2．句意：然而，这位母亲似乎并没有注意到；她一直在专注地看平板电脑。根据“she was focused on her tablet the whole time”，可知，此处指母亲没有注意到女孩的情况，notice“注意到”，seem to do sth“似乎做某事”，因此此空用动词原形。故填(n)otice。 3．句意：在所有年龄段中，青少年尤其被受影响。根据“Among all age groups”以及后文提到青少年短信数量翻倍，面对面交流时间变少，可知，此处指青少年尤其被受影响，especially“尤其”，副词作状语。故填(e)specially。 4．句意：与此同时，他们花在面对面交谈上的时间变得更少了。根据“reaching an average of 3, 417”以及“Young people may be good with devices, but they often have trouble understanding body language or behavior in person”，可知，此处指面对面交谈的时间变得更少了，less“更少的”，此处暗含比较，使用比较级。故填(l)ess。 5．句意：这可能会导致尴尬甚至粗鲁的行为，比如在谈话中查看短信却没有意识到这可能会让别人生气。根据“like checking a text during a conversation without realizing it might upset someone”，可知，此处指可能会导致粗鲁的行为，rude“粗鲁的”，故填(r)ude。 6．句意：在墨西哥，一位从事广告工作的人说，人们过去会看更长的视频，但现在他们很快就会失去兴趣并查看手机。根据“but now they quickly lose”以及后文提到查看手机，可知，此处指失去兴趣，interest“兴趣”，用作不可数名词。故填(i)nterest。 7．句意：他深深地担心自己正在失去集中注意力的能力。根据“he’s losing his ability to concentrate”，可知，此处指他担心自己失去集中注意力的能力，worry“担心”，时态为一般现在时，主语是he，动词用三单形式。故填(w)orries。 一、阅读理解 （2025·上海青浦·一模）Do you agree with gene (基因) editing? Andy: Every year, many babies are born with genetic (遗传的) problems. If we can get rid of these problems by editing their genes, we can save many lives. Meanwhile, editing genes allows parents to choose their babies’ appearance and even intelligence. This can give their children a better future. However, to stop some people from using this technology in bad ways, it’s necessary to have laws that tell us how we are allowed to edit genes. Diana: Parents make the decision to edit a baby’s genes without their children’s agreement. This goes against the rights of these unborn children. More importantly, this technology may destroy humans’ genetic diversity (多样性) . In my opinion, you are unique and no one can replace you. However, this could change if parents can edit their babies’ genes. Everyone might look the same someday. Cici: This new technology can help fix babies’ problems that they are born with, like heart diseases. Many children suffer from these things. ________ But with this technology, all babies can be born healthy and their parents won’t have to worry about them. Kate: This technology could be risky. It could result in some problems for babies if it is not used properly. Their parents may regret this. What’s worse, if only rich people can afford it, gene editing could be seen as unfair to poor families. The rich would be able to make their children clever and good-looking, while ordinary people could not. Rich families would get richer and poor families would get poorer. 1．What does Andy think is needed to prevent people from using gene editing in wrong ways? A．Getting rid of genetic problems.

These China-made robots recently showed their amazing s 1 at the China-Cambodia “Golden Dragon 2024” joint exercise (联合演习) in May. During the joint exercise, Chinese team members were able to control remotely (遥控) a robot dog called Go2. It quickly checked for obstacles (障碍物) like fences and old tires. With cameras on its head, Go2 can send l 2 video back to headquarters. Go2 is also very small. It w 3 only 15 kilograms. It can do things like jumping, moving backward and even lying down—just like a real dog. It can work for two to four hours at a time before it needs a “rest”. A heavier robot dog, Bl, can not only check areas but also a 4 . It carries a gun on its back and can shoot when ordered to. It can carry things as heavy as 80 kilograms on its back. The robot dogs can help soldiers with d 5 tasks, such as going through rain forests or other unclear environments. Their help can stop more soldiers from getting hurt. Apart from humans’ best “robot friend”, the joint exercise also showed more types of smart equipment, such as drones (无人机). Instead of fighting in a war, these smart m 6 are used to solve common threats (威胁) like terrorism and natural disasters. Robot dogs play an important role in many o 7 areas. During the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou in 2023, robot dogs helped find and return thrown discuses (铁饼). Without the robots, people would have needed to cover over 7, 000 meters in a single competition. Robot dogs can also be “lifesavers”. Some robot dogs can “see” clearly through smoke when there’s a fire thanks to their special cameras. 【答案】1．(s)kills 2．(l)ive 3．(w)eighs 4．(a)ttack 5．(d)angerous 6．(m)achines 7．(o)ther 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国制造的机器狗等智能装备在军事及其他领域的用途。 1．句意：这些中国制造的机器人最近在中国和柬埔寨于5月举行的联合军演“金龙-2024”中展示了令人惊叹的技能。根据第二段内容可知这些机器狗拥有很多技能，因此用“技能”的复数形式skills。故填(s)kills。 2．句意：头上装有摄像机的Go2能将现场视频传回指挥总部。结合前文“During the joint exercise…like fences and old tires.”和句意可知在它们快速检查完障碍物后可传回现场的视频。横线后面是名词“video视频”，其前面需要形容词“live现场的”作定语。故填(l)ive。 3．句意：它仅重15公斤。根据横线后的关键词“15 kilometers”可知此处在说机器狗Go2的重量，分析句子结构发现此处缺少谓语动词，又因主语“it”是第三人称单数，因此用三单形式weighs。故填(w)eighs。 4．句意：一条更重的机器狗B1，不仅可以检查区域，而且可以攻击。结合句意以及后文“It carries a gun on its back and can shoot when ordered to.”可知机器狗B1是携带枪支的，因此它不仅可以检查，还可以攻击。因“check检查”和“attack攻击”在句中是并列关系，所以attack保持不变。故填(a)ttack。 5．句意：机器狗可以帮助士兵执行危险的任务，例如穿过雨林或其他情况不明的环境。根据横线后的名词“tasks任务”可知此处需要形容词作定语，再根据后文“such as going through rain forests or other unclear environments. ”可知穿越雨林和情况不明的环境是一种危险的行为。故填(d)angerous。 6．句意：这些智能机器被用来解决如恐怖主义和自然灾害这样的普通威胁。根据前文“the joint exercise also showed more types of smart equipment, such as drones (无人机).”可知联合军演中也展示了更多类型的智能装备，比如无人机，后文所述“these”一词指代的就是无人机这类智能机器，因为被“these这些”修饰，因此要用机器的复数形式machines。故填(m)achines。 7．句意：机器狗在许多其他领域发挥着重要的作用。首先根据横线后的名词“areas领域”可知横线处需要形容词作定语，再根据后文内容可知在2023年的杭州亚运会中，机器狗帮助找到并拿回扔出去的铁饼，机器狗也可以在火灾中救人。这些都是机器狗在军事以外的其他领域发挥的作用。故填(o)ther。 （2025·上海青浦·一模）In recent years, there has been a shortage of people applying to work as waiters in the UK. Because of this, some b 1 are using robots in different jobs to replace humans. Some robots can already make pizzas, and others operate as waiters. Some of them look like bookshelves on wheels, with shelves for trays and plates. They can g 2 customers and show them to their table, while human employees take food orders and load the plates on and off the robots. Some people think robots are the future of dining, but others say it’s not a good idea. What do you think, should robots work in restaurants? Yes—robots are efficient and fun Robots are a great s 3 for those restaurants that are short of waiters. They are expensive to buy but they don’t need to be paid, so they can work out cheaper than people. Also, machines don’t need breaks or holidays, and they can work long hours, which humans find t 4 . Some people say that robots make fewer mistakes than humans, plus they can do the basic jobs that are boring for people, freeing up the human waiters to do more complicated jobs. Besides, robots are a fun addition because they can a 5 new customers to restaurants. No—robots can’t replace people Who wants to talk to a machine? Diners want human communication, and some people might even find a robot waiter upsetting. Also, considering how much they cost, robot waiters don’t do much. They can’t answer questions that they aren’t p 6 to answer, so a human will often have to step in anyway.
