Without water, humans, animals even plants would die. About 70 per cent of our body weight is water. People have lived for a month or more without food, but we could live for only three or four days without water. How much water do animals and plants need? A human may need 2 liters (升) per day, a cow needs 135 liters per day and a large tree requires 20, 000 liters a day. How do we people use water? We drink water. We wash our bodies, our clothes and many other things with water. The foods we eat have water in them, and all our drinks are largely water. We use water to cook many of our foods, and we use water for different activities, such as boating, swimming and fishing. Plants need water to live just like we do. Plants use their roots to take up water from the soil. The crops that farmers grow for our food need water to grow. In some places where there is little rain and the land is dry, farmers bring water from rivers, lakes and wells to their fields. It’s called irrigation (灌溉). Some crops need more water to grow than others. Rice and cotton, for example, need lots of water, while olives and oranges need only a little. Animals also need water to live. The animals that provide us with meat, milk and eggs need large amounts of clean water to drink. Water is also home to millions of plants and animals, including the fish we eat. Some industries use water to cool hot substances or the moving parts of machines. Water also helps to produce most of our electricity (电). In hydro-electric power stations (水电站) the water of fast-flowing rivers is used to turn the machines that produce electricity. Water is used to make many kinds of food and many of the things we see or use every day. 14. Which of the following can be called roots? A. B. C. D. 15. What does the picture in the passage want to tell us? A. Water is seriously polluted. B. Water is needed everywhere. C. Water is limited on our earth. D. Water is used in the industry. 16.

The background of water. C. The usages of water. D. The production of water. 【答案】14. A 15. B 16. C 17. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。探讨了水在日常生活、农业、工业等方面的多种用途，并强调了水资源的广泛需求和重要性。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Plants use...from the soil.”可知，植物吸收水分的部位是根，图A所示的分叉状地下部分是“根”。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中插图列举了制造不同产品所需的水量可知，人类日常所用、所食的几乎所有东西都需要用到水，即“水无处不在”。故选B。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In some places...irrigation.”可知，在干旱地区，农民通过从河流、湖泊、井等处引水进行灌溉，从而能在缺水地区种庄稼，所以灌溉给了农民在干旱地区种植作物的机会。故选C。 【17题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讨论了水在人类、动物、植物、农业、工业等多个领域的用途，主旨应是“水的用途”。故选C。 C “The cleaners said we could collect our things today,” Mom said on the drive to school, in her soft voice. “Do you think ... they saved Big Dog?” Jet tried to sound common, but his throat felt tight (喉咙发紧). He was worried. Big Dog was his favourite toy. Grandpa had won for him at the fair when he was five. At eight, Jet didn’t need to sleep with it anymore, but it still sat on the shelf above his bed, the shelf that was burned by the fire. “I am not sure,” Mom said with eyes fixed on the road. “The photo albums (相册) ... they didn’t make it.” Jet could tell she was really sad. “We’ll open the boxes together after school,” Mom hugged him goodbye and drove off. Jet tried to study all day, but he couldn’t keep his mind off Big Dog. He held tight (紧紧地) to his backpack through the halls and it felt like he was carrying his old friend Big Dog. During library time, he checked out a book about dogs. When Mr. Light said students could do free-draw in the art class, Jet looked at the empty paper. He thought of his mom picking up the boxes of things that had been damaged (破坏) by the fire. Then he realized how sad his mom would be about the photo albums. Most things could still be bought at the store. But the pictures were gone forever. At that moment, he knew what he could draw. His pencil began to move. There was a picture of Christmas morning, presents under shining lights. Another picture was of that stormy night in the tent when Mom told ghost stories. When the bell rang, twelve drawings formed an album. After school, when seeing Big Dog waiting for him in the back seat, Jet gave his mom a big hug. “I have a surprise for you too.” Jet said. As they went through the pictures, Jet’s mom laughed and cried. At the end of the book was a blank page. “Looks as if there’s room for one more picture,” Mom said, smiling. “Do you mind if I draw it?” Jet dug into his backpack and handed her a pencil and some markers. She drew a picture of them sitting in the car looking through their first photo album since the fire. “I love it, Mom!” Jet said. “Let’s go home and see what other surprises we can find in those boxes.” 18. Why was Jet worried about Big Dog? A. Because he lost it at his school. B. Because it was a gift for his grandpa. C. Because his mom wanted to throw it away. D. Because it might have been damaged in fire. 19. What can we learn from the underlined sentence? A. Jet’s backpack was too heavy. B. Jet missed Big Dog very much. C. Jet wanted to show Big Dog to his classmates. D. Jet was afraid someone would steal his backpack. 20. Why did Jet decide to draw pictures in art class? A. To make a new album for his mom. B. To practise his drawing skills. C. To sell his pictures in the store for money. D. To win a prize for the best artist. 21. What does the blank page at the end of Jet’s album mean to his family? A. Luck. B. Hope. C. Dream. D. Peace. 【答案】18. D 19. B 20. A 21. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Jet和他的妈妈在火灾后整理物品时，Jet担心他最喜欢的玩具Big Dog是否被损坏，以及他如何通过绘画来安慰妈妈的故事。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He was worried. Big Dog was his favourite toy...the shelf that was burned by the fire.”可知，Jet担心Big Dog可能被火灾损坏。故选D。 【19题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“He held tight (紧紧地) to his backpack through the halls and it felt like he was carrying his old friend Big Dog.”可知，Jet紧紧地抱着他的背包，感觉就像在抱着他的老朋友Big Dog，可看出Jet非常想念Big Dog。故选B。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Then he realized how sad his mom would be about the photo albums. Most things could still be bought at the store. But the pictures were gone forever. At that moment, he knew what he could draw.”可知，Jet意识到妈妈失去相册会有多难过，所以他决定画画是为了给妈妈制作一个新的相册。故选A。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据“‘Looks as if there’s room for one more picture,’ Mom said, smiling. ‘Do you mind if I draw it?’”可推知，空白页象征着希望，意味着他们可以继续添加新的回忆。故选B。 D One morning at Taishan Mountain in Shandong, a four-legged robot was climbing the challenging “Eighteen Bends”. It had a box on its back and was going up the 1, 460-meter-long and 45-degree-inclined (倾斜的) path. While people were tired and out of breath, this clever robot moved easily around the crowds, kept its balance, and carried a 120 kg bag. Used by a company under the local tourism group, this AI robot helps clean up tourist waste and carry things in the tourist attraction. With 8 million visitors every year, Taishan has 24,000 tons of waste. Cleaning it by hand is expensive and dangerous. A company worker said, “The robot can climb mountains and cross water while carrying things. It makes the work much easier and faster.” Over the past few years, there has been a growing number of AI robots. In the robot market, human-like robots sell well, and they are getting more and more popular. Scientists say the market will grow a lot. By 2025, the sales of China’s human-like robots have reached 5.3 billion yuan. By 2029, it could be 75 billion yuan, which would be 32. 7% of the world’s sales. The government is helping a lot. These robots are no longer just for fun but are becoming practical. Cities like Chongqing and Shenzhen are spending money on projects about AI that can interact (互动) with the real world. AI robots are helping people in many ways. In Chongqing, a 70-year-old person who had a stroke (中风) could move again with the help of a wearable AI robot. His doctor said, “These robots can find out what people want to do by looking at how their joints (关节) move. They are changing how we help the old and disabled get better.” AI robots are also reshaping the idea of toys and pets. For example, Sirius is a small robot dog. It can dance, follow orders and move like a real dog. It’s very popular because it can interact with people. The small, smart, four-legged robot can even understand and answer people’s orders. From cleaning up rubbish on mountains to being family pets, helping the old and being fun toys, AI robots are slowly becoming part of people’s lives. As one scientist said, this is not just about new technology. It’s about meeting people’s needs. 22. What can the robot dog do on Taishan Mountain? A. Help with waste cleanup. B. Guide hikers along the way. C. Make people walk faster. D. Bring tourists fun by dancing. 23. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. Humans will face danger with the rising sales of AI robots. B. The market for human-like robots in China has a bright future. C. Human-like robots are mainly used for entertainment in China. D. The growth of AI robots depends only on the government’s support. 24. How does the writer show that AI robots are helping people’s lives? A. By telling stories. B. By listing numbers. C. By giving examples. D. By comparing things. 25. What may be the best title of the passage? A. AI Robots—New Roles around us B. AI Robots—Fun Toys in Life C. AI Robots—Helpers in Taishan Mountain D. AI Robots—Past and Present 【答案】22. A 23. B 24. C 25. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了人工智能机器人在多个领域的应用以及其市场发展前景。 22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Used by a company under the local tourism group, this AI robot helps clean up tourist waste...”可知，泰山上的机器人用于清理垃圾。故选A。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据“By 2029, it could be 75 billion yuan, which would be 32.7% of the world’s sales. The government is helping a lot.”可推断中国人形机器人市场前景广阔。故选B。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In Chongqing, a 70-year-old person who had a stroke (中风) could move again with the help of a wearable AI robot.”以及“For example, Sirius is a small robot dog.

What if he also learned that people actually (实际上) preferred the AI-generated poems? Would he think that computers have souls? A new study in the US asked 1, 634 people to read ten poems. Five were poems written by a famous poet. The poets included Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, T. S. Eliot and Sylvia Plath. The other five poems were written by ChatGPT 3. 5 in the style of the same poet. The readers were asked which were written by AI and which were written by humans. Most of the people thought the AI creations were the human ones. In fact, the five poems thought least likely to be written by a human were all written by actual humans. The researchers then asked 696 people to rate (划分等级) the poems based on qualities such as their beauty, feeling and rhythm. The people who didn’t know which poems were human and which were AI preferred the AI poetry. The researchers published the final finding—people found the AI poems more “easy” and “understandable”. AI may be able to create poems we prefer, but it seems that it might not be able to create advertisements. Coca-Cola recently showed its newest Christmas advertisement. They recreated the classic scene with people smiling as Coca-Cola truck passed by. But this time, it’s all been made by AI. The new advertisements have led to an online discussion with people calling them “scared”, “lifeless” and “sad”. However, others say that the AI advertisements are a “game-changer”. Some companies may be encouraged and try to follow Coca-Cola’s example. What do you think? Can AI replace (取代) human creativity? 54. What’s the result of the study in the US? ________________________________________________ 55. What do people think of the new Coca-Cola advertisements? ________________________________________________ 56. What else do you think may be replaced by AI? Why do you think so? ________________________________________________ 【答案】54. People found the AI poems more “easy” and “understandable”. 55. Some people think they are “scared”, “lifeless” and “sad”, while others say they are a “game-changer”. 56. I think AI may replace human translation work. Because with the development of technology, AI translation tools can translate quickly and accurately. For example, Google Translate can translate between many languages in seconds, And it can be used in various fields such as business, travel and so on. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍人们对人工智能创作的诗歌和新可口可乐广告的看法，发出了人工智能能否取代人类的创造力的提问。 【54题详解】 根据“The researchers published the final finding—people found the AI poems more ‘easy’ and ‘understandable’.”可知，美国这项研究的结果是人们觉得人工智能创作的诗歌更“简单”和“易懂”。故填People found the AI poems more “easy” and “understandable”. 【55题详解】 根据“The new advertisements have led to an online discussion with people calling them ‘scared’, ‘lifeless’ and ‘sad’. However, others say that the AI advertisements are a ‘game-changer’.”可知，人们对新可口可乐广告的看法不一，一些人觉得它们“可怕”、“没有生气”、“悲伤”，而另一些人认为它们是“变革者”。故填Some people think they are “scared”, “lifeless” and “sad”, while others say they are a “game-changer”. 【56题详解】 开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为：I think AI may replace human translation work. Because with the development of technology, AI translation tools can translate quickly and accurately. For example, Google Translate can translate between many languages in seconds, And it can be used in various fields such as business, travel and so on. 第七部分 书面表达（共1题，满分25分） 57. 对你而言，在充满青春气息的初中校园里，总有一个地方格外特殊。它可能是图书馆，滋养求知的渴望；亦或是操场，见证成长的蜕变。你校校报英文版现以“A place that means a lot to me”为题，请你写一篇英文文章投稿。内容应包括： 1. 介绍该地方（包括外观、位置、设施等基本信息）； 2. 结合具体事例，阐述它对你的非凡意义； 3. 表达你对这个地方的特殊情感或愿望。 注意： 1. 词数100； 2. 内容涵盖要点，照抄本卷语篇不得分； 3. 文中不得出现与考生相关的真实校名和姓名等信息。 A place that means a lot to me _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A place that means a lot to me During my school days, the place that means a lot tome most is our school library.

Without water, humans, animals even plants would die. About 70 per cent of our body weight is water. People have lived for a month or more without food, but we could live for only three or four days without water. How much water do animals and plants need? A human may need 2 liters (升) per day, a cow needs 135 liters per day and a large tree requires 20, 000 liters a day. How do we people use water? We drink water. We wash our bodies, our clothes and many other things with water. The foods we eat have water in them, and all our drinks are largely water. We use water to cook many of our foods, and we use water for different activities, such as boating, swimming and fishing. Plants need water to live just like we do. Plants use their roots to take up water from the soil. The crops that farmers grow for our food need water to grow. In some places where there is little rain and the land is dry, farmers bring water from rivers, lakes and wells to their fields. It’s called irrigation (灌溉). Some crops need more water to grow than others. Rice and cotton, for example, need lots of water, while olives and oranges need only a little. Animals also need water to live. The animals that provide us with meat, milk and eggs need large amounts of clean water to drink. Water is also home to millions of plants and animals, including the fish we eat. Some industries use water to cool hot substances or the moving parts of machines. Water also helps to produce most of our electricity (电). In hydro-electric power stations (水电站) the water of fast-flowing rivers is used to turn the machines that produce electricity. Water is used to make many kinds of food and many of the things we see or use every day. 14. Which of the following can be called roots? A. B. C. D. 15. What does the picture in the passage want to tell us? A. Water is seriously polluted. B. Water is needed everywhere. C. Water is limited on our earth. D. Water is used in the industry. 16. What can we know about water according to the passage? A. Animals can live longer than humans without water. B. Different kinds of plants need the same amount of water. C. Irrigation gives farmers chances to grow crops in dry places. D. Hydro-electric power stations can be seen in many countries. 17. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The qualities of water. B. The background of water. C. The usages of water. D. The production of water. C “The cleaners said we could collect our things today,” Mom said on the drive to school, in her soft voice. “Do you think ... they saved Big Dog?” Jet tried to sound common, but his throat felt tight (喉咙发紧). He was worried. Big Dog was his favourite toy. Grandpa had won for him at the fair when he was five. At eight, Jet didn’t need to sleep with it anymore, but it still sat on the shelf above his bed, the shelf that was burned by the fire. “I am not sure,” Mom said with eyes fixed on the road. “The photo albums (相册) ... they didn’t make it.” Jet could tell she was really sad “We’ll open the boxes together after school,” Mom hugged him goodbye and drove off. Jet tried to study all day, but he couldn’t keep his mind off Big Dog. He held tight (紧紧地) to his backpack through the halls and it felt like he was carrying his old friend Big Dog. During library time, he checked out a book about dogs. When Mr. Light said students could do free-draw in the art class, Jet looked at the empty paper. He thought of his mom picking up the boxes of things that had been damaged (破坏) by the fire. Then he realized how sad his mom would be about the photo albums. Most things could still be bought at the store. But the pictures were gone forever. At that moment, he knew what he could draw. His pencil began to move. There was a picture of Christmas morning, presents under shining lights. Another picture was of that stormy night in the tent when Mom told ghost stories. When the bell rang, twelve drawings formed an album. After school, when seeing Big Dog waiting for him in the back seat, Jet gave his mom a big hug. “I have a surprise for you too.” Jet said. As they went through the pictures, Jet’s mom laughed and cried. At the end of the book was a blank page. “Looks as if there’s room for one more picture,” Mom said, smiling. “Do you mind if I draw it?” Jet dug into his backpack and handed her a pencil and some markers. She drew a picture of them sitting in the car looking through their first photo album since the fire. “I love it, Mom!” Jet said. “Let’s go home and see what other surprises we can find in those boxes.” 18. Why was Jet worried about Big Dog? A. Because he lost it at his school. B. Because it was a gift for his grandpa. C. Because his mom wanted to throw it away. D. Because it might have been damaged in fire. 19. What can we learn from the underlined sentence? A. Jet’s backpack was too heavy. B. Jet missed Big Dog very much. C. Jet wanted to show Big Dog to his classmates. D. Jet was afraid someone would steal his backpack. 20. Why did Jet decide to draw pictures in art class? A. To make a new album for his mom. B. To practise his drawing skills. C. To sell his pictures in the store for money. D. To win a prize for the best artist. 21. What does the blank page at the end of Jet’s album mean to his family? A. Luck. B. Hope. C. Dream. D. Peace. D One morning at Taishan Mountain in Shandong, a four-legged robot was climbing the challenging “Eighteen Bends”. It had a box on its back and was going up the 1, 460-meter-long and 45-degree-inclined (倾斜的) path. While people were tired and out of breath, this clever robot moved easily around the crowds, kept its balance, and carried a 120 kg bag. Used by a company under the local tourism group, this AI robot helps clean up tourist waste and carry things in the tourist attraction. With 8 million visitors every year, Taishan has 24,000 tons of waste. Cleaning it by hand is expensive and dangerous. A company worker said, “The robot can climb mountains and cross water while carrying things. It makes the work much easier and faster.” Over the past few years, there has been a growing number of AI robots. In the robot market, human-like robots sell well, and they are getting more and more popular. Scientists say the market will grow a lot. By 2025, the sales of China’s human-like robots have reached 5.3 billion yuan. By 2029, it could be 75 billion yuan, which would be 32. 7% of the world’s sales. The government is helping a lot. These robots are no longer just for fun but are becoming practical. Cities like Chongqing and Shenzhen are spending money on projects about AI that can interact (互动) with the real world. AI robots are helping people in many ways. In Chongqing a 70-year-old person who had a stroke (中风) could move again with the help of a wearable AI robot. His doctor said, “These robots can find out what people want to do by looking at how their joints (关节) move. They are changing how we help the old and disabled get better.” AI robots are also reshaping the idea of toys and pets. For example, Sirius is a small robot dog. It can dance, follow orders and move like a real dog. It’s very popular because it can interact with people. The small, smart, four-legged robot can even understand and answer people’s orders. From cleaning up rubbish on mountains to being family pets, helping the old and being fun toys, AI robots are slowly becoming part of people’s lives. As one scientist said, this is not just about new technology. It’s about meeting people’s needs. 22. What can the robot dog do on Taishan Mountain? A. Help with waste cleanup. B. Guide hikers along the way. C. Make people walk faster. D. Bring tourists fun by dancing. 23. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. Humans will face danger with the rising sales of AI robots. B. The market for human-like robots in China has a bright future. C. Human-like robots are mainly used for entertainment in China. D. The growth of AI robots depends only on the government’s support. 24. How does the writer show that AI robots are helping people’s lives? A. By telling stories. B. By listing numbers. C. By giving examples. D. By comparing things. 25. What may be the best title of the passage? A. AI Robots—New Roles around us B. AI Robots—Fun Toys in Life C. AI Robots—Helpers in Taishan Mountain D. AI Robots—Past and Present 第三部分 信息还原（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How the Violin Changed My Life By Eric Cruise, 27 I was born in a family of doctors, so my parents were really surprised when I told them I wanted to be a violinist.
