Have you heard of generative AI? It’s a type of chatbot that can create new things like texts, pictures or videos on its own. We recently asked our readers to discuss whether students should use AI for their schoolwork. DYLAN PATEL, 13 AI will change the way students learn. Many fear that chatbots might 7 cheating, but there are ongoing efforts to enhance security (戒备). And chatbots can be programmed to guide students through questions instead of directly giving them the answer. Chatbots can also work with teachers to create personalized lesson plans, so that no student will 8 in class. And AI tutors can provide 24/7 support for students. AI is here to stay. Either you move with the times, or the times will move without you! HARPER CARROLL, 10 While technology can be a useful tool, kids need to be able to perform basic tasks 9 . That’s why kids learn how to do maths, even with calculators around. And it’s why schools teach handwriting and spelling when most adults type. Kids’ brains need to be exercised to develop, just like their bodies. AI may benefit adults, but it’s not good for children to 10 it before mastering the basics of education. ALEXA OH, 11 Teaching kids about AI can prepare them for our technology-filled 11 . A survey shows that most Americans think it's necessary for students to learn AI-related skills for leir future jobs. Using AI helps kids develop critical inking (批判性思维) and problem-solving skills. And it’s good for students to know about AI’s limitations early on, like its potential to spread wrong information and the ways it could be misused. As long as it’s done well, teaching about AI in schools can change society for the better. NINIS TWUMASI, 12 We shouldn’t introduce generative AI into schools, for a few reasons. First, chatbots and other AI programs are developing rapidly these days. Teachers might not know how to best integrate (融入) them into their classes. Second, many schools wouldn’t be able to afford the latest technology, and that can create an unfair situation for their students. 12 , AI lacks (缺乏) the humanity and emotion that kids get from a teacher, and that human connection is important. A chatbot just feeds students information, but teachers know how to help them take it in. 7．A．stick to B．lead to C．get used to D．pay attention to 8．A．fall behind B．make progress C．show off D．lose confidence 9．A．quickly B．independently C．carefully D．confidently 10．A．decide on B．agree on C．carry on D．rely on 11．A．festival B．family C．future D．film 12．A．Most importantly B．Most unfortunately C．Most luckily D．Most possibly Passage 3 【来源】上海位育中学2024-2025学年上学期九年级英语12月月考试题 Suppose that in a future classroom, a girl is taking a test. Her exam paper is made by an artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) model according to her 13 . When she finishes her paper, she hands in her paper to her teacher who will later use another AI model to 14 the paper. Then based on the test result, a new learning plan will be made for the girl. This is personalized education at its best. Could this be the future of AI in education? Certainly! With the development of high technology, the realization of an AI classroom will come earlier than we 15 . Here comes the question: How does AI help students learn better? In a classroom with AI technology, both the learning plans and the tests are personalized, and this allows students to learn at their own speed and in their own way. During the learning process, AI models keep monitoring students’ facial expressions to 16 discover when students get into trouble. More amazingly, AI can even predict signs of trouble before students themselves are aware of it. This early prediction enables AI to offer timely (及时的) solutions to problems and suggestions about a better learning plan. 17 , AI technology has made it possible to develop special programs for those who struggle with learning. A company in Massachusetts used AI technology and created a well-known software—Dragon Speech Recognition. With the 18 of voice recognition (识别), students can complete tasks just by speaking. This may be a great helper to those who have difficulty in writing. The role of AI in education may become more and more important. Perhaps, we will see an AI classroom in the near future. Education will be personalized to a student’s advantage, bringing a more enjoyable learning experience for all students. 13．A．interest B．level C．mood D．excuse 14．A．collect B．read C．grade D．return 15．A．have B．accept C．expect D．conduct 16．A．carefully B．possibly C．loudly D．immediately 17．A．What’s more B．In a word C．In other words D．On the other hand 18．A．experiment B．development C．difference D．arrangement 二、阅读理解 Passage 4 【来源】上海位育中学2024-2025学年上学期九年级英语12月月考试题 Last week, I went to a restaurant for dinner. I recognized the face of the boy sitting at the table next to me. I was sure I had seen him before, but couldn’t remember his name. Have you ever had an experience like that? Humans have a great ability to recognize faces. From movie stars to our relatives, friends and classmates, we can actually remember the faces of a large number of people. The question is: How many faces a person can remember at most? Humans are much better at recognizing faces than at remembering names. Early humans didn’t have spoken language. They largely depended on their visual (视觉的) abilities to tell their family members from strangers. As a result, our vision has developed to be one of our strongest senses. When we talk to others, we often keep eye contact with them and look at their faces from time to time. Our brain takes in and stores their looks, such as the color of their eyes and the shape of their mouth. In a study, a group of people were tested on their facial memory abilities. They were asked to recall (回想) the faces of all the people they knew about. Then, they were asked to identify their pictures. It turned out that normal people were able to remember between 1,000 and 10,000 faces. The average was about 5,000. Meanwhile, some people have much stronger facial memories than others. They are called super recognizers. Remembering about 10,000 faces is the upper limit for a normal person, but these people may be able to recall many thousands more different faces. Most people can only recognize about twenty percent of the faces they have seen. Super recognizers, however, can remember up to 80 percent of them! 19．What did the writer do last week? A．He went to the cinema. B．He visited a museum. C．He had dinner in a restaurant. D．He cooked dinner in a restaurant. 20．The underlined word “that” in Paragraph One refers to a certain experience. If you had the same experience, it meant ________. A．you failed to recognize an old friend B．you were unable to call someone C．you recognized someone’s face but forgot his name D．couldn’t remember where you had met someone before 21．Early humans heavily depend on their visual abilities because they ________. A．only believed their eyes B．didn’t know how to speak C．their other senses were not good D．were very clever 22．According to the study mentioned, how many faces can a normal person remember at most? A．500. B．1,000. C．5,000. D．10,000. 23．How are super recognizers different from normal people? A．They have excellent eyesight. B．They pay very close attention to people’s looks. C．They can recognize faces they’ve seen a lot faster. D．They can recall many thousands more different faces. 24．Where can you most probably read this article? A．In a diary. B．In a novel. C．In a travel guide. D．In a newspaper. Passage 5 【来源】2025年上海市静安区中考一模英语试题 Set in famous museums, these books are full of action and secrets. J. R. Silver Writes Her WorldBy Melissa Dassori J.

They are writing books and even cooking at restaurants! But guess what? Sometimes, they mess things up-just as human do. You Call That Service? In Nagasaki, Japan, a hotel hired 243 robots to do various jobs, like helping guests check in or carrying suitcases. Unfortunately, the check-in robots had trouble answering guests’questions, while others kept knocking into walls and falling over. An in-room robot assistant even said “Sorry, I didn’t catch that. Could you repeat your request?” when a guest snored (打鼾). Half of the robots were soon fired (解雇), and of course they didn’t get their tips, either. You Look Familiar! Facial recognition software can’t always recognize faces. When The American Civil Liberties tested the Recognition software it incorrectly matched photos of criminals (罪犯) to 28 government workers. But what about football recognition? During a match cameras programmed to follow the ball kept mistaking the judge’s bald head for the football. One helpful viewer suggested that the judge wear false hair. Stop the Press! In 2017, The Los Angeles Times reported a 1925 earthquake in Santa Barbara as recent. It turned out that the report was written by Quakebot, a computer program which automatically wrote news articles based on an official geological database (地质数据库). When a worker made a mistake while updating the historical data, Quakebot thought it was breaking news. Soon after, misled Southern Californians started worrying about an earthquake that happened almost 100 years ago! Quick, Go Get a Broom (扫帚)! ________ Let Jesse Newton tell you. His new pet dog left its mess on the floor at night while he and his wife were asleep. Their robot vacuum simply ran over the mess and spread it all over the house. Imagine waking up to a home that looks like a “poop painting”—not exactly the artwork you would want! 31．What happened to the robots at the Nagasaki hotel?

Others are replaced (代替) by newer things like smartphones. They can do hundreds of things. Here are some old gadgets that people used to use. ①________ Do you have a landline (固定电话) at home? These are phones that people plug (插入) into their living room walls. Mobile phones didn’t use to be so common at that time, so most families had a landline. But landlines only worked at home. What did people do when they were outside and needed to call someone? They looked for a pay phone! Then, most people had their own mobile phones and many homes no longer had landlines. ②________ People today store plenty of information online, or on SD cards. But in the 1980s and 1990s, people used to use floppy disks. The first floppy disks were large, expensive, and not very useful — each disk could store just 175 KB of information! Later, floppy disks got smaller and better. But even the best ones could only hold 1. 44 MB．You would need three or four disks just for one song, and about 22,000 disks to match the storage (储存空间) available on a 32 GB phone! ③________ It’s easy to take photos today. People often have thousands just on their phones! But photos used to be expensive, and people took fewer of them. To take a photo, you had to buy a roll of film. This allowed you to take about 30 photos. After finishing the roll, you left it at a shop. The shop developed the photos to make them be seen, which you could collect after a few days. Technology changes all the time, and the gadgets we use today will one day be old. What do you think will be next to disappear? 37．What does the underlined word “gadgets” mean in Paragraph 1? A．Toys.

Since then, it has spread to more and more countries. People hoped new technologies could help them live happier lives in cities. Governments aren’t the only ones interested in building “smarter” cities. Many private companies see the smart city program as a great opportunity to make money. Leading tech companies like Tencent and Microsoft have all offered their smart-city solutions. However, I have found that many project designers in those companies don’t have a clear idea of what they are going to achieve. They proudly show off exciting new technologies like 5G, but they don’t know how to use them to solve real-world problems. In other words, they sound more like tech salespeople than city builders. This can cause many problems. City planning should always center around one question: What can be done to improve the living conditions of the citizens? Private companies, however, have to take care of their own business interests first. Their answer to every problem is simply more technology. Their “solutions” often have nothing to do with people’s daily lives. Sometimes, the problem is not a shortage of “smart” technologies. What we need instead may just be smarter decision-making. For example, is the solution to traffic jams greater reliance on bikes or the development of self-driving cars? Smart cars are certainly “smarter” than bicycles. They promise to be able to avoid traffic jams. However, are they more enjoyable? Do they make the city a better place to live in? City managers should carefully think about the kind of life they want their cities to provide for their citizens. Planners and tech developers should work according to this blueprint. They should stop worrying about making our cities “smarter” and start to focus on making them better. 43．When was the idea of “smart” cities first put forward in the United States? 44．Why are private companies interested in building smarter cities? 45．What does the author mean by saying that some project designers act more like salespeople than city builders? 46．The writer thinks the development of self-driving cars is a good solution to the traffic jams, doesn’t he? 47．According to the author, what should be the most important thing for city managers to consider in city planning? 48．Which do you think is more important for creating a better city, smarter technology or smarter decision-making? Explain your reason(s). Passage 9 【来源】2024年上海市闵行区文莱中学英语阶段练习卷 Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题) Many of us may have experienced the pleasant surprise of seeing recommended (推荐的) songs after we listen to certain songs on a music app. When we open shopping websites, we are more likely to see things on the home page that we might want to buy. This is based on data (数据). Data is no longer only about numbers, but information from almost every aspect of our lives: our location, shopping habits and interests. All of this is called “big data”. In December, 2018, President Xi Jinping called for China to speed up its big data strategy (战略) in order to better serve social and economic development and improve people’s lives, the Xinhua News Agency reported. He also asked for greater use of big data in areas like education, social security and transportation. The past few years have seen big data being used more often in China. The role it plays in tourism is just one example. The data travelers share online is providing the tourism industry with a lot of information about the country’s scenic areas. After the data is analyzed (分析), different scenic areas can create their own online profiles (简况) for other travelers to see. The profiles not only show travelers’ reviews, but also tell the scenic areas in which services need to be improved. What are we more likely to see when we open shopping websites? 49．What is data? 50．Why did President Xi call for China to speed up its big data strategy? 51．Big data has been used more often in China, hasn’t it? 52．In this passage, which industry is the example where big data is being used about? 53．What do you think of the application of big data? Passage 10 【来源】2025年上海市徐汇区部分学校联考模拟英语试题 Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题) There’s a new kind of AI jobs. It pays six - figure salaries. And it doesn’t require a degree in computer engineering coding. Companies are looking for people to craft prompts that help train AI programs. These people are called prompt engineers (提示工程师). They work on generative artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT. This is AI that creates content, such as text, audio, video, and images, in response to a user’s request. Prompt engineers train AI to deliver better response. Anne Bernstein, a prompt engineer at Copy. ai, writes prompts and feeds them into AI tools. This helps the AI generate text, such as a blog post or email, with accurate information and proper tone. She doesn’t need to write code to do this. She simply types instructions. Bernstein joined Copy. ai in September 2021. “There weren’t many of us prompt engineers,” she says. “For a long time, it really felt like it was just me.” That was about a year before ChatGPT went viral for its ability to generate writing and answer questions. Prompt engineering is now one of the hottest tech jobs. Job surge (激增) AI tools need training. At the moment, they provide results that are not always correct or proper. That’s why companies are looking for prompt engineers. A tech company called Anthropic is advertising a “prompt engineer and librarian.” Applicants must “love solving puzzles.” In Massachusetts, Boston Children’ s Hospital is advertising for a prompt engineer, too. Rob Lennon is an expert on the topic. He teaches people the skills needed for the job. As of April, about 2,000 students had taken his two online courses. “People are clamoring for this knowledge,” Lennon says. Will it last? Some say the need for this job will burn out. Ethan Mollick is an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania. “It’s not clear that prompt engineering is going to matter long - term,” he says. “AI programs are getting better at predicting what users need.” The high salaries may not last either. “These are jobs that probably only 500 people could do right now,” Lennon says. “In six months, 50,000 people will be able to do that job. The value of this knowledge is greater today than it will be tomorrow.” 54．Prompt engineers don’t need a degree in computer engineering or coding, do they? 55．What is the main responsibility of a prompt engineer? 56．What kind of AI tools do prompt engineers work on? 57．Why are companies looking for prompt engineers according to the passage? 58．According to Rob Lennon and Ethan Mollick, why might the high salaries for prompt engineers not last in the future? 59．Do you think prompt engineering will remain a valuable skill in the future? Why or why not? 11 / 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 特训06 读写组合套餐练热点话题之科学新知 （完形、阅读、简答题）精选好题10篇 （时间100分钟，满分150分） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、完形填空 Passage 1 【来源】2025年上海市宝山至德中学中考教学适应性考试英语试题 DeepSeek is a leading technology company that has made very important contributions to modern 1 .

Her exam paper is made by an artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) model according to her 13 . When she finishes her paper, she hands in her paper to her teacher who will later use another AI model to 14 the paper. Then based on the test result, a new learning plan will be made for the girl. This is personalized education at its best. Could this be the future of AI in education? Certainly! With the development of high technology, the realization of an AI classroom will come earlier than we 15 . Here comes the question: How does AI help students learn better? In a classroom with AI technology, both the learning plans and the tests are personalized, and this allows students to learn at their own speed and in their own way. During the learning process, AI models keep monitoring students’ facial expressions to 16 discover when students get into trouble. More amazingly, AI can even predict signs of trouble before students themselves are aware of it. This early prediction enables AI to offer timely (及时的) solutions to problems and suggestions about a better learning plan. 17 , AI technology has made it possible to develop special programs for those who struggle with learning. A company in Massachusetts used AI technology and created a well-known software—Dragon Speech Recognition. With the 18 of voice recognition (识别), students can complete tasks just by speaking. This may be a great helper to those who have difficulty in writing. The role of AI in education may become more and more important. Perhaps, we will see an AI classroom in the near future. Education will be personalized to a student’s advantage, bringing a more enjoyable learning experience for all students. 13．A．interest B．level C．mood D．excuse 14．A．collect B．read C．grade D．return 15．A．have B．accept C．expect D．conduct 16．A．carefully B．possibly C．loudly D．immediately 17．A．What’s more B．In a word C．In other words D．On the other hand 18．A．experiment B．development C．difference D．arrangement 【答案】13．B 14．C 15．C 16．D 17．A 18．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了人工智能在教育上的运用。 13．句意：她的试卷是由一个人工智能模型根据她的水平制作的。 interest兴趣；level水平；mood心情；excuse借口。根据语境并结合常识可知，试卷应该根据学生的水平设计。故选B。 14．句意：当她完成试卷后，她把试卷交给老师，然后老师会用另一个人工智能模型给试卷评分。 collect收集；read读；grade（给试卷或作业）评分；return返回。根据语境并结合常识可知，学生交卷后，老师会给试卷评分。故选C。 15．句意：随着高科技的发展，人工智能课堂的实现将比我们预期的要早。 have有；accept接受；expect预期；conduct执行。根据语境并结合实际可知，随着技术的快速发展，人工智能在教学上的运用要比我们预期的更早。故选C。 16．句意：在学习过程中，人工智能模型不断监测学生的面部表情，以便在学生遇到麻烦时立即发现。 carefully仔细地；possibly可能地；loudly大声地；immediately立即。根据语境可知，当学生遇到困难时，人工智能模型能够立即发现。故选D。 17．句意：更重要的是，人工智能技术使得为那些学习困难的人开发特殊程序成为可能。 What’s more更重要的是；In a word总而言之；In other words换句话说；On the other hand另一方面。根据“A company in Massachusetts used AI technology and created a well-known software---Dragon Speech Recognition.”并结合上文可知，上文讲述了人工智能在教育中运用的优势，第四段介绍了为学习困难的人开发的特殊程序，上下为递进关系。故选A。 18．句意：随着语音识别技术的发展，学生可以通过说话来完成任务。 experiment实验；development发展；difference差异；arrangement安排。根据语境并结合实际可知，随着语音识别技术的发展，书写困难的学生可以通过说话来完成学习。故选B。 二、阅读理解 Passage 4 【来源】上海位育中学2024-2025学年上学期九年级英语12月月考试题 Last week, I went to a restaurant for dinner. I recognized the face of the boy sitting at the table next to me. I was sure I had seen him before, but couldn’t remember his name. Have you ever had an experience like that? Humans have a great ability to recognize faces. From movie stars to our relatives, friends and classmates, we can actually remember the faces of a large number of people. The question is: How many faces a person can remember at most? Humans are much better at recognizing faces than at remembering names. Early humans didn’t have spoken language. They largely depended on their visual (视觉的) abilities to tell their family members from strangers. As a result, our vision has developed to be one of our strongest senses. When we talk to others, we often keep eye contact with them and look at their faces from time to time. Our brain takes in and stores their looks, such as the color of their eyes and the shape of their mouth. In a study, a group of people were tested on their facial memory abilities. They were asked to recall (回想) the faces of all the people they knew about. Then, they were asked to identify their pictures. It turned out that normal people were able to remember between 1,000 and 10,000 faces. The average was about 5,000. Meanwhile, some people have much stronger facial memories than others. They are called super recognizers. Remembering about 10,000 faces is the upper limit for a normal person, but these people may be able to recall many thousands more different faces. Most people can only recognize about twenty percent of the faces they have seen. Super recognizers, however, can remember up to 80 percent of them! 19．What did the writer do last week? A．He went to the cinema. B．He visited a museum. C．He had dinner in a restaurant. D．He cooked dinner in a restaurant. 20．The underlined word “that” in Paragraph One refers to a certain experience. If you had the same experience, it meant ________. A．you failed to recognize an old friend B．you were unable to call someone C．you recognized someone’s face but forgot his name D．couldn’t remember where you had met someone before 21．Early humans heavily depend on their visual abilities because they ________. A．only believed their eyes B．didn’t know how to speak C．their other senses were not good D．were very clever 22．According to the study mentioned, how many faces can a normal person remember at most? A．500. B．1,000. C．5,000. D．10,000. 23．How are super recognizers different from normal people? A．They have excellent eyesight. B．They pay very close attention to people’s looks. C．They can recognize faces they’ve seen a lot faster. D．They can recall many thousands more different faces. 24．Where can you most probably read this article? A．In a diary. B．In a novel. C．In a travel guide. D．In a newspaper. 【答案】19．C 20．C 21．B 22．D 23．D 24．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了人类对人脸的识别能力及其相关研究和现象。 19．细节理解题。根据“Last week, I went to a restaurant for dinner.”可知，作者上周去了一家餐馆吃晚饭。故选C。 20．词句猜测题。根据“I recognized the face of the boy sitting at the table next to me. I was sure I had seen him before, but couldn’t remember his name.”可知，作者提到自己认识坐在旁边桌子上的男孩的脸，但忘记了他的名字，而that指的就是这种经历，即认出了某人的脸但忘记了他的名字。故选C。 21．细节理解题。根据“Early humans didn’t have spoken language.”可知，早期人类没有语言，因此他们只能依靠视觉能力来分辨家人和陌生人。因此，早期人类依赖于他们的视觉能力是因为他们不会说话。故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据“Remembering about 10,000 faces is the upper limit for a normal person,”可知，记住大约10000张脸是普通人的上限。故选D。 23．细节理解题。根据“Meanwhile, some people have much stronger facial memories than others. They are called super recognizers.”可知，超认者的面部记忆比其他人强得多。有些人的面部记忆比其他人强得多。故选D。 24．推理判断题。文章讨论的是关于人们识别面孔的能力，这是一篇科普性质的文章，最适合在报纸上发布。故选D。 Passage 5 【来源】2025年上海市静安区中考一模英语试题 Set in famous museums, these books are full of action and secrets.

They are writing books and even cooking at restaurants! But guess what? Sometimes, they mess things up-just as human do. You Call That Service? In Nagasaki, Japan, a hotel hired 243 robots to do various jobs, like helping guests check in or carrying suitcases. Unfortunately, the check-in robots had trouble answering guests’questions, while others kept knocking into walls and falling over. An in-room robot assistant even said “Sorry, I didn’t catch that. Could you repeat your request?” when a guest snored (打鼾). Half of the robots were soon fired (解雇), and of course they didn’t get their tips, either. You Look Familiar! Facial recognition software can’t always recognize faces. When The American Civil Liberties tested the Recognition software it incorrectly matched photos of criminals (罪犯) to 28 government workers. But what about football recognition? During a match cameras programmed to follow the ball kept mistaking the judge’s bald head for the football. One helpful viewer suggested that the judge wear false hair. Stop the Press! In 2017, The Los Angeles Times reported a 1925 earthquake in Santa Barbara as recent. It turned out that the report was written by Quakebot, a computer program which automatically wrote news articles based on an official geological database (地质数据库). When a worker made a mistake while updating the historical data, Quakebot thought it was breaking news. Soon after, misled Southern Californians started worrying about an earthquake that happened almost 100 years ago! Quick, Go Get a Broom (扫帚)! ________ Let Jesse Newton tell you.

Some gadgets get smaller and faster. Others are replaced (代替) by newer things like smartphones. They can do hundreds of things. Here are some old gadgets that people used to use. ①________ Do you have a landline (固定电话) at home? These are phones that people plug (插入) into their living room walls. Mobile phones didn’t use to be so common at that time, so most families had a landline. But landlines only worked at home. What did people do when they were outside and needed to call someone? They looked for a pay phone! Then, most people had their own mobile phones and many homes no longer had landlines. ②________ People today store plenty of information online, or on SD cards. But in the 1980s and 1990s, people used to use floppy disks. The first floppy disks were large, expensive, and not very useful — each disk could store just 175 KB of information! Later, floppy disks got smaller and better. But even the best ones could only hold 1. 44 MB．You would need three or four disks just for one song, and about 22,000 disks to match the storage (储存空间) available on a 32 GB phone! ③________ It’s easy to take photos today. People often have thousands just on their phones! But photos used to be expensive, and people took fewer of them. To take a photo, you had to buy a roll of film. This allowed you to take about 30 photos. After finishing the roll, you left it at a shop. The shop developed the photos to make them be seen, which you could collect after a few days. Technology changes all the time, and the gadgets we use today will one day be old. What do you think will be next to disappear? 37．What does the underlined word “gadgets” mean in Paragraph 1? A．Toys. B．Tools. C．Games. D．Phones. 38．Match the title with each paragraph. a. Goodbye Disks     b. Music to My Ears   c. Picture This   d. Call Me   e. Film Development A．①-d, ②-b, ③-e B．①-d, ②-a, ③-c C．①-c, ②-a, ③-b D．①-c, ②-b, ③-e 39．What were the first floppy disks like? A．They could store much. B．They were very useful. C．They cost a lot of money. D．They were easy to carry. 40．Where could people make the photos be seen in the past? A．On people’s phone. B．At a shop. C．At home.

Others are replaced (代替) by newer things like smartphones.”可知此处指变得更小更快的东西，举例中有智能手机，由此推出gadgets意为“工具，设备”。故选B。 38．标题归纳题。根据“Then, most people had their own mobile phones and many homes no longer had landlines.”可知①段讲电话机手机，用“Call Me”作标题；根据“But in the 1980s and 1990s, people used to use floppy disks.”可知②段关于以前用过的磁盘，用“Goodbye Disks”作标题；再由“It’s easy to take photos today. People often have thousands just on their phones! But photos used to be expensive, and people took fewer of them.”可知③段介绍拍照工具，用“Picture This”做标题。故选B。 39．细节理解题。根据“The first floppy disks were large, expensive, and not very useful”可知最初的软盘是很贵的。故选C。 40．细节理解题。根据“After finishing the roll, you left it at a shop. The shop developed the photos to make them be seen, which you could collect after a few days.”可知过去人们在商店洗照片。故选B。 41．推理判断题。根据“Improvements in technology often happen overnight.”及下文内容可知文中介绍科技在进步，这在不断改变人们的生活。故选C。 42．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了人们过去常用的旧工具，用“The Things We Used to Use”作标题最合适。故选D。 三、任务型阅读 Passage 8 【来源】上海市复旦大学第二附属中学2024-2025学年下学期九年级3月月考试卷 Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题) The idea of “smart” cities was first put forward in the 1970s in the United States. Since then, it has spread to more and more countries. People hoped new technologies could help them live happier lives in cities. Governments aren’t the only ones interested in building “smarter” cities. Many private companies see the smart city program as a great opportunity to make money. Leading tech companies like Tencent and Microsoft have all offered their smart-city solutions. However, I have found that many project designers in those companies don’t have a clear idea of what they are going to achieve. They proudly show off exciting new technologies like 5G, but they don’t know how to use them to solve real-world problems. In other words, they sound more like tech salespeople than city builders. This can cause many problems. City planning should always center around one question: What can be done to improve the living conditions of the citizens? Private companies, however, have to take care of their own business interests first. Their answer to every problem is simply more technology. Their “solutions” often have nothing to do with people’s daily lives. Sometimes, the problem is not a shortage of “smart” technologies. What we need instead may just be smarter decision-making. For example, is the solution to traffic jams greater reliance on bikes or the development of self-driving cars? Smart cars are certainly “smarter” than bicycles. They promise to be able to avoid traffic jams. However, are they more enjoyable? Do they make the city a better place to live in? City managers should carefully think about the kind of life they want their cities to provide for their citizens. Planners and tech developers should work according to this blueprint. They should stop worrying about making our cities “smarter” and start to focus on making them better. 43．When was the idea of “smart” cities first put forward in the United States? 44．Why are private companies interested in building smarter cities? 45．What does the author mean by saying that some project designers act more like salespeople than city builders? 46．The writer thinks the development of self-driving cars is a good solution to the traffic jams, doesn’t he? 47．According to the author, what should be the most important thing for city managers to consider in city planning? 48．Which do you think is more important for creating a better city, smarter technology or smarter decision-making? Explain your reason(s). 【答案】43．In the 1970s. 44．Because they see it as a great opportunity to make money. 45．The author means that some project designers focus more on selling new technologies rather than solving real-world problems and improving the city, which is the role of city builders. 46．No, the writer does not think the development of self-driving cars is a good solution to traffic jams. 47．According to the author, the most important thing for city managers to consider in city planning should be to improve the living conditions of the citizens. 48．I think smarter decision-making is more important for creating a better city. While smarter technology can bring many benefits, it is only effective if it is used wisely and appropriately. Without smarter decision-making, technology can be wasted or even cause more problems. 【导语】本文主要讨论了“智慧城市”的概念及其发展中的问题，强调了城市规划应以改善市民生活条件为中心，而不是仅仅追求技术的先进性。 43．根据第一段中的“The idea of ‘smart’ cities was first put forward in the 1970s in the United States.”可知，“智慧城市”的概念最早是在20世纪70年代的美国提出的。故填In the 1970s. 44．根据第二段中的“Many private companies see the smart city program as a great opportunity to make money.”可知，许多私营公司认为智慧城市项目是一个赚钱的好机会。因此，他们对建设智慧城市感兴趣的原因是为了赚钱。故填Because they see it as a great opportunity to make money. 45．根据第二段中的“However, I have found that many project designers in those companies don’t have a clear idea of what they are going to achieve. They proudly show off exciting new technologies like 5G, but they don’t know how to use them to solve real-world problems. In other words, they sound more like tech salespeople than city builders.”可知，作者认为一些项目设计师更像销售人员而不是城市建设者，是因为他们更多地关注推销新技术，而不是解决现实问题和改善城市。故填The author means that some project designers focus more on selling new technologies rather than solving real-world problems and improving the city, which is the role of city builders. 46．根据倒数第二段中的“However, are they more enjoyable? Do they make the city a better place to live in?”可知，作者对于自动驾驶汽车是否是解决交通拥堵的好方案持怀疑态度。因此，作者并不认为自动驾驶汽车是解决交通拥堵的好方案，故填No, the writer does not think the development of self-driving cars is a good solution to traffic jams. 47．根据第三段中的“City planning should always center around one question: What can be done to improve the living conditions of the citizens?”可知，作者认为城市规划应该始终围绕一个问题：如何改善市民的生活条件。因此，对于城市管理者来说，在城市规划中最重要的应该是改善市民的生活条件，故填According to the author, the most important thing for city managers to consider in city planning should be to improve the living conditions of the citizens. 48．本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一。参考答案为：I think smarter decision-making is more important for creating a better city. While smarter technology can bring many benefits, it is only effective if it is used wisely and appropriately. Without smarter decision-making, technology can be wasted or even cause more problems. Passage 9 【来源】2024年上海市闵行区文莱中学英语阶段练习卷 Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题) Many of us may have experienced the pleasant surprise of seeing recommended (推荐的) songs after we listen to certain songs on a music app. When we open shopping websites, we are more likely to see things on the home page that we might want to buy. This is based on data (数据). Data is no longer only about numbers, but information from almost every aspect of our lives: our location, shopping habits and interests. All of this is called “big data”. In December, 2018, President Xi Jinping called for China to speed up its big data strategy (战略) in order to better serve social and economic development and improve people’s lives, the Xinhua News Agency reported. He also asked for greater use of big data in areas like education, social security and transportation. The past few years have seen big data being used more often in China. The role it plays in tourism is just one example. The data travelers share online is providing the tourism industry with a lot of information about the country’s scenic areas. After the data is analyzed (分析), different scenic areas can create their own online profiles (简况) for other travelers to see. The profiles not only show travelers’ reviews, but also tell the scenic areas in which services need to be improved.

Passage 10 【来源】2025年上海市徐汇区部分学校联考模拟英语试题 Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题) There’s a new kind of AI jobs. It pays six - figure salaries. And it doesn’t require a degree in computer engineering coding. Companies are looking for people to craft prompts that help train AI programs. These people are called prompt engineers (提示工程师). They work on generative artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT. This is AI that creates content, such as text, audio, video, and images, in response to a user’s request. Prompt engineers train AI to deliver better response. Anne Bernstein, a prompt engineer at Copy. ai, writes prompts and feeds them into AI tools. This helps the AI generate text, such as a blog post or email, with accurate information and proper tone. She doesn’t need to write code to do this. She simply types instructions. Bernstein joined Copy. ai in September 2021. “There weren’t many of us prompt engineers,” she says. “For a long time, it really felt like it was just me.” That was about a year before ChatGPT went viral for its ability to generate writing and answer questions. Prompt engineering is now one of the hottest tech jobs. Job surge (激增) AI tools need training. At the moment, they provide results that are not always correct or proper. That’s why companies are looking for prompt engineers. A tech company called Anthropic is advertising a “prompt engineer and librarian.” Applicants must “love solving puzzles.” In Massachusetts, Boston Children’ s Hospital is advertising for a prompt engineer, too. Rob Lennon is an expert on the topic. He teaches people the skills needed for the job. As of April, about 2,000 students had taken his two online courses. “People are clamoring for this knowledge,” Lennon says. Will it last? Some say the need for this job will burn out. Ethan Mollick is an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania. “It’s not clear that prompt engineering is going to matter long - term,” he says. “AI programs are getting better at predicting what users need.” The high salaries may not last either. “These are jobs that probably only 500 people could do right now,” Lennon says. “In six months, 50,000 people will be able to do that job. The value of this knowledge is greater today than it will be tomorrow.” 54．Prompt engineers don’t need a degree in computer engineering or coding, do they? 55．What is the main responsibility of a prompt engineer? 56．What kind of AI tools do prompt engineers work on? 57．Why are companies looking for prompt engineers according to the passage? 58．According to Rob Lennon and Ethan Mollick, why might the high salaries for prompt engineers not last in the future? 59．Do you think prompt engineering will remain a valuable skill in the future? Why or why not? 【答案】54．No, they don’t. 55．The main responsibility of a prompt engineer is to craft prompts that help train AI programs. 56．Prompt engineers work on generative artificial intelligence tools, such as ChatGPT. 57．Because AI tools need training and they provide results that are not always correct or proper. 58．Because as more people learn the skills, the value of this knowledge will decrease. 59．(开放性回答)Yes, I think prompt engineering will remain a valuable skill in the future. As AI continues to develop, there will always be a need for skilled professionals to train and improve these systems. While AI programs may become better at predicting user needs, there will still be a demand for human input and expertise to ensure that these systems operate effectively and efficiently. 【导语】本文主要介绍了“提示工程师”（Prompt Engineer）这一新兴职业的背景、职责及其在人工智能领域的应用。 54．根据“It pays six - figure salaries. And it doesn’t require a degree in computer engineering coding.”可知，提示工程师不需要计算机工程或编码的学位。故填No, they don’t. 55．根据“Companies are looking for people to craft prompts that help train AI programs.”可知，提示工程师的主要职责是编写提示，帮助训练AI程序以提供更好的响应。故填The main responsibility of a prompt engineer is to craft prompts that help train AI programs. 56．根据“They work on generative artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT.”可知，提示工程师主要工作在生成式人工智能工具上，如ChatGPT。故填Prompt engineers work on generative artificial intelligence tools, such as ChatGPT. 57．根据“AI tools need training. At the moment, they provide results that are not always correct or proper. That’s why companies are looking for prompt engineers.”可知，人工智能工具需要培训。目前，它们提供的结果并不总是正确或适当的。故填Because AI tools need training and they provide results that are not always correct or proper. 58．根据“AI programs are getting better at predicting what users need.”和“In six months, 50,000 people will be able to do that job. The value of this knowledge is greater today than it will be tomorrow.”可知，在6个月内，将有5万人能够胜任这项工作。这种知识的价值今天比明天更大。故填Because as more people learn the skills, the value of this knowledge will decrease. 59．主观题，合理即可。故填Yes, I think prompt engineering will remain a valuable skill in the future. As AI continues to develop, there will always be a need for skilled professionals to train and improve these systems. While AI programs may become better at predicting user needs, there will still be a demand for human input and expertise to ensure that these systems operate effectively and efficiently. 11 / 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
