I’m feeling ________ tired after a long day’s work, but I still have _________ work to do this evening. A. a bit; a bit B. a bit of, a bit C. a bit; a bit of D. a bit of; a bit of 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：经过漫长一天的工作，我感觉有点累，但今晚我仍然有一些工作要做。 考查短语用法辨析。“a bit”意为“有点”，相当于“a little”，可修饰形容词或副词；“a bit of”意为“一点儿，少量”，后接不可数名词。第一个空修饰形容词“tired”，用“a bit”；第二个空修饰不可数名词“work”，用“a bit of”。故选C。 12.

That newly bought sofa is too small for four people to________ and it is also too heavy for them to________. A. sit; lift B. sit on; lift it C. sit; lift it D. sit on; lift 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：那张新买来的沙发太小了，四个人坐不下；并且它太重了，四个人抬不动。 考查动词用法。根据语境可知，“sit”是不及物动词，表示“坐”，如果要说明坐在某个物体上，需要加介词“on”，“sit on the sofa”表示坐在沙发上；“lift”是及物动词，意为“举起” ，前半句已经提到“sofa”，后半句中“lift”的逻辑宾语就是“sofa” ，此时不需要再用“it”指代“sofa”，避免重复。故选D。 14.

It’s now part of our everyday lives, from smartphones to how we learn and work. AI is a powerful tool that helps solve problems, make decisions, and even create art. But with great power comes responsibility (责任). We need to understand both its good sides and challenges. One exciting area where AI shines is education. It can adjust (调节) learning to fit individual students, letting them learn at their own speed and in ways that work best for them. For example, AI tutors give quick feedback (反馈), making learning faster and work better. Some schools use AI to design lesson plans or grade schoolwork, giving teachers helpful tips to improve their teaching. Still, we must be careful about unfairness (不合理) in AI systems and make sure they don’t harm certain groups of students. AI is also changing how we work. It helps do repeating tasks, freeing us to focus on more creative work. Businesses use AI to study data and find trends, leading to smarter decisions. In healthcare, AI helps diagnose (诊断) illnesses, create treatments, and even help in operations. However. Al’s rise brings worries about job loss. As AI improves, some roles may disappear making it important for people to learn new skills and keep adapting. In daily life, AI adds convenience and fun. Assistants like Siri or Alexa help manage schedules, play music, or control home devices. AI also provides entertainment, suggesting movies or music based on your tastes, or building lifelike game worlds. Yet. we must stay careful to hidden problems like privacy (隐私) issues or false information spreading. Using AI responsibly and in the right way matters. The future of AI is bright but not without challenges. We must make sure that AI helps everyone by solving problems. Encouraging teamwork between researchers, developers, and lawmakers will help shape Al’s future wisely. In short. AI is a game-changing tool that could change many parts of life. Moving forward, we should welcome AI while keeping in mind its limits and risks. By doing so, we can be sure that AI works as a positive tool, building a better future for all. 29. According to the passage, how does AI help in education? A. It helps schools design more creative lessons. B. It replaces (代替) teachers in giving lessons. C. It allows students to learn in the ways that meet their needs. D. It helps parents make sure their children get fair scores. 30. What does the underlined word “adapting” mean in paragraph 3? A. Following the old methods. B. Moving into a new world. C. Protecting traditional jobs. D. Changing to fit a situation. 31. How does the author feel about the future of AI? A. Fearful and negative B. Worried but hopeful. C. Bored and uninterested. D. Excited but careful. 32. What is the best title for the passage? A. AI in Education. B. AI: Benefits with risks. C. AI’s power in daily life. D. Working in the AI age. 【答案】29. C 30. D 31. B 32.

Most new kids would’ve been scanning the room for friends, but he was too busy taking notes. When Mr. Browne wrote “CHOOSE KIND” on the board, he circled the words twice like they were the answer to some secret question only he knew. I didn’t sit with August that first day because I felt sorry for him. I sat with him because he was laughing at Mr. Browne’s lesson. Most kids were rolling their eyes, but August was actually writing things down—like he truly cared about “When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind.” Later in the cafeteria, Julian kept asking those questions: “What happened to your face? Were you in a fire?” August handled it like an expert. He just said, “No, I was born this way. It’s called mandibulofacial dysostosis, if you really want to know.” Julian looked stupid then, because August knew more big words than he did. What’s strange is how people treat me now that I’m friends with August. Some kids called me “Nice Summer” quietly like it’s an insult (侮辱). Others suddenly want to be my friend, asking all these fake-nice questions about him. The worst are the teachers—they give me these cheering looks, like I’m some kind of hero for eating lunch with him. August doesn’t need my protection. Yesterday, some seventh-grader tripped him in the hallway. Before I could react, August got up and said, “Thanks for the floor examination. It looks clean.” The kid just walked away confused. Sometimes I wonder why more people don’t see what I see: a funny kid who chews his pencils to death, who can name every planet’s moons, who remembers that I hate cream. Not “the kid with the face”. Just August. But then I hear the whispers in the locker room, see the way kids suddenly change seats when he sits down…and I remember why this is so hard. Walking home that afternoon, I remembered that Mom always says middle school is just practice for real life, but what’s the lesson here? That most people are too scared to sit next to someone different? 33. Why did Summer firstly sit with August? A. She pitied his unusual appearance. B. She noticed his reaction to Mr. Browne’s lesson. C. The teachers asked her to help him. D. She wanted to impress other students. 34. Summer finds others’ “Nice Summer” comments ________. A. wise and encouraging B. hurtful but understandable C. funny but insulting D. strange and annoying 35. August’s reaction to being tripped shows that he ________. A. was afraid of a fight B. wanted to report bullies to teachers C. relied on Summer for protection D. used humor wisely to solve problems 36. This passage mainly explores________. A. the challenges August faces with his school work B. Summer’s development of true friendship C. teachers’ unfair treatment of special needs students D. Julian’s bullying behavior and its results 【答案】33. B 34. D 35. D 36. B 【解析】 【导语】本文以Summer的视角，主要讲述了她与面部有缺陷的August之间友谊的发展，以及August在学校的一些经历。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I didn’t sit with August that first day because I felt sorry for him. I sat with him because he was laughing at Mr. Browne’s lesson.”可知，Summer最初和August坐在一起是因为注意到他对Mr. Browne课程的反应。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“What’s strange is how people treat me now that I’m friends with August. Some kids called me ‘Nice Summer’ quietly like it’s an insult (侮辱). Others suddenly want to be my friend, asking all these fake-nice questions about him. The worst are the teachers—they give me these cheering looks, like I’m some kind of hero for eating lunch with him.”可知，Summer觉得人们因为她和August成为朋友后的这些表现很奇怪，那些孩子叫她“Nice Summer”像是一种侮辱，所以她觉得这些评论既奇怪又令人讨厌。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据“August got up and said, ‘Thanks for the floor examination. It looks clean.’”可知，August用幽默的方式化解了被绊倒的尴尬，展现了他的智慧。故选D。 【36题详解】 主旨大意题。全文通过Summer的视角，描述了她与August的友谊发展，以及她如何看待August的真实性格而非外表，同时反思了周围人的偏见。故选B。 D Dragons have long held the imagination of both Chinese and Western cultures, but they have very different looks and meanings that set them apart. In Chinese culture, the dragon, named “Long”, holds a special place. It has a special appearance, looking like a huge, long snake combined with various animal parts. For example, it has the tail of a fish, which helps it swim gracefully in water. The scales (鳞) of a fish cover its body, giving it a shiny and protective surface. Its long neck is similar to that of a snake, allowing for flexible movement. Chinese dragons are often wingless, but they have the magical ability to rocket up and fly through the sky. They stand for many positive qualities. In the past, they are the symbols (象征) of power. Emperors and kings were considered as sons of dragons, showing their noble (尊贵的) position. Also, Chinese farmers, who depended on good weather for their crops, used to offer sacrifices (祭祀品) like sheep to dragon gods. They hoped that the dragons would bring favorable weather, and thus good harvests. Moreover, dragons are believed to bring good fortune. You can often see dragon pictures on New Year decorations or at other traditional festivals like the Dragon Boat Festival. In Western culture. dragons are very different. They are giant creatures that can breathe fire and destroy life. Their large bat-like wings carry them to the sky. Their bodies are covered in lizard-like scales, and their tails often have a sharp tip. Western dragons are usually related to evil. In medieval times (中世纪), they were seen as symbols of the devil, and the devil was even called “the great dragon”. Knights (骑士) would be celebrated as the bravest heroes when they killed dragons. In a word, the dragons of Chinese and Western cultures reveal the large differences between these two worlds. While Chinese dragons are seen as symbols of strength, wisdom, and good fortune, the Western dragons are often described as wicked, fire-breathing beasts. Whether as a protector of the world or a fearsome enemy, the dragon remains a timeless and fascinating fictional creature, inviting us to explore the depths of our own culture and imagination. 37. Which of the following is NOT a feature of Chinese dragons described in the passage? A. They have lizard-like scales. B. They have a long, flexible neck. C. They can fly without wings. D. They have the tail of a fish. 38. Why did Chinese farmers offer sacrifices to dragon gods? A. To get protection from wild animals. B. To show respect to the emperor. C. To ensure good weather and harvests. D. To celebrate Chinese New Year. 39. How are dragons described in Western culture? A. As magical and protective beings. B. As wingless and gentle creatures. C. As evil and fire-breathing beasts. D. As common signs of good fortune. 40. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】37. A 38. C 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要对比了中西方文化中龙的形象和意义。中国文化里，龙地位特殊，外形独特，象征力量、智慧和好运，农民会向龙献祭求风调雨顺。西方文化中，龙是喷火巨兽，常与邪恶相关。最后总结中西方龙的差异体现了两种文化的不同。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。通读第二段可知，文中提到中国龙有鱼尾、长而灵活的脖子、能无翼飞行，而蜥蜴状鳞片是西方龙的特征，中国龙是鱼的鳞片。故选A。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Chinese farmers…used to offer sacrifices…They hoped that the dragons would bring favorable weather, and thus good harvests.”可知，农民献祭是为了确保好天气和好收成。故选C。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In Western culture…They are giant creatures that can breathe fire and destroy life…they were seen as symbols of the devil”可知，西方龙被描述为邪恶的喷火野兽。故选C。 【40题详解】 篇章结构题。通读原文可知，文章第一段总述中西方龙有不同形象和意义，第二段介绍中国文化中龙的外观特点，如像大鱼和蛇结合、鱼尾、鱼鳞片、长而灵活的脖子等；第三段阐述中国文化中龙所代表的积极品质，如帝王象征、农民祈求风调雨顺等；第四段讲述西方文化中龙的形象，如会喷火、像恶魔等。最后一段总结中国和西方文化中龙的差异，再次强调龙在两种文化中的不同象征意义。整体是“总-分-总”结构。故选B。 卷II主观题（满分50分） V.

AI is a powerful tool that helps solve problems, make decisions, and even create art. But with great power comes responsibility (责任). We need to understand both its good sides and challenges. One exciting area where AI shines is education. It can adjust (调节) learning to fit individual students, letting them learn at their own speed and in ways that work best for them. For example, AI tutors give quick feedback (反馈), making learning faster and work better. Some schools use AI to design lesson plans or grade schoolwork, giving teachers helpful tips to improve their teaching. Still, we must be careful about unfairness (不合理) in AI systems and make sure they don’t harm certain groups of students. AI is also changing how we work. It helps do repeating tasks, freeing us to focus on more creative work. Businesses use AI to study data and find trends, leading to smarter decisions. In healthcare, AI helps diagnose (诊断) illnesses, create treatments, and even help in operations. However. Al’s rise brings worries about job loss. As AI improves, some roles may disappear making it important for people to learn new skills and keep adapting. In daily life, AI adds convenience and fun. Assistants like Siri or Alexa help manage schedules, play music, or control home devices. AI also provides entertainment, suggesting movies or music based on your tastes, or building lifelike game worlds. Yet. we must stay careful to hidden problems like privacy (隐私) issues or false information spreading. Using AI responsibly and in the right way matters. The future of AI is bright but not without challenges. We must make sure that AI helps everyone by solving problems. Encouraging teamwork between researchers, developers, and lawmakers will help shape Al’s future wisely. In short. AI is a game-changing tool that could change many parts of life. Moving forward, we should welcome AI while keeping in mind its limits and risks. By doing so, we can be sure that AI works as a positive tool, building a better future for all. 29.

Working in the AI age. C The first time I saw August Pullman, he was sitting alone at the back of Mr. Browne’s classroom, his face half-hidden behind a tower of textbooks. Most new kids would’ve been scanning the room for friends, but he was too busy taking notes. When Mr. Browne wrote “CHOOSE KIND” on the board, he circled the words twice like they were the answer to some secret question only he knew. I didn’t sit with August that first day because I felt sorry for him. I sat with him because he was laughing at Mr. Browne’s lesson. Most kids were rolling their eyes, but August was actually writing things down—like he truly cared about “When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind.” Later in the cafeteria, Julian kept asking those questions: “What happened to your face? Were you in a fire?” August handled it like an expert. He just said, “No, I was born this way. It’s called mandibulofacial dysostosis, if you really want to know.” Julian looked stupid then, because August knew more big words than he did. What’s strange is how people treat me now that I’m friends with August. Some kids called me “Nice Summer” quietly like it’s an insult (侮辱). Others suddenly want to be my friend, asking all these fake-nice questions about him. The worst are the teachers—they give me these cheering looks, like I’m some kind of hero for eating lunch with him. August doesn’t need my protection. Yesterday, some seventh-grader tripped him in the hallway. Before I could react, August got up and said, “Thanks for the floor examination. It looks clean.” The kid just walked away confused. Sometimes I wonder why more people don’t see what I see: a funny kid who chews his pencils to death, who can name every planet’s moons, who remembers that I hate cream. Not “the kid with the face”. Just August. But then I hear the whispers in the locker room, see the way kids suddenly change seats when he sits down…and I remember why this is so hard. Walking home that afternoon, I remembered that Mom always says middle school is just practice for real life, but what’s the lesson here? That most people are too scared to sit next to someone different? 33. Why did Summer firstly sit with August? A. She pitied his unusual appearance. B. She noticed his reaction to Mr. Browne’s lesson. C. The teachers asked her to help him. D. She wanted to impress other students. 34. Summer finds others’ “Nice Summer” comments ________. A. wise and encouraging B. hurtful but understandable C. funny but insulting D. strange and annoying 35. August’s reaction to being tripped shows that he ________. A. was afraid of a fight B. wanted to report bullies to teachers C. relied on Summer for protection D. used humor wisely to solve problems 36. This passage mainly explores________. A. the challenges August faces with his school work B. Summer’s development of true friendship C. teachers’ unfair treatment of special needs students D. Julian’s bullying behavior and its results D Dragons have long held the imagination of both Chinese and Western cultures, but they have very different looks and meanings that set them apart. In Chinese culture, the dragon, named “Long”, holds a special place. It has a special appearance, looking like a huge, long snake combined with various animal parts. For example, it has the tail of a fish, which helps it swim gracefully in water. The scales (鳞) of a fish cover its body, giving it a shiny and protective surface. Its long neck is similar to that of a snake, allowing for flexible movement. Chinese dragons are often wingless, but they have the magical ability to rocket up and fly through the sky. They stand for many positive qualities. In the past, they are the symbols (象征) of power. Emperors and kings were considered as sons of dragons, showing their noble (尊贵的) position. Also, Chinese farmers, who depended on good weather for their crops, used to offer sacrifices (祭祀品) like sheep to dragon gods. They hoped that the dragons would bring favorable weather, and thus good harvests. Moreover, dragons are believed to bring good fortune. You can often see dragon pictures on New Year decorations or at other traditional festivals like the Dragon Boat Festival. In Western culture. dragons are very different. They are giant creatures that can breathe fire and destroy life. Their large bat-like wings carry them to the sky. Their bodies are covered in lizard-like scales, and their tails often have a sharp tip. Western dragons are usually related to evil. In medieval times (中世纪), they were seen as symbols of the devil, and the devil was even called “the great dragon”. Knights (骑士) would be celebrated as the bravest heroes when they killed dragons. In a word, the dragons of Chinese and Western cultures reveal the large differences between these two worlds. While Chinese dragons are seen as symbols of strength, wisdom, and good fortune, the Western dragons are often described as wicked, fire-breathing beasts. Whether as a protector of the world or a fearsome enemy, the dragon remains a timeless and fascinating fictional creature, inviting us to explore the depths of our own culture and imagination. 37. Which of the following is NOT a feature of Chinese dragons described in the passage? A. They have lizard-like scales. B. They have a long, flexible neck. C. They can fly without wings. D. They have the tail of a fish. 38. Why did Chinese farmers offer sacrifices to dragon gods? A. To get protection from wild animals. B. To show respect to the emperor. C. To ensure good weather and harvests. D. To celebrate Chinese New Year. 39. How are dragons described in Western culture? A. As magical and protective beings. B. As wingless and gentle creatures. C. As evil and fire-breathing beasts. D. As common signs of good fortune. 40. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 卷II主观题（满分50分） V. Vocabulary A.
