We let it do a self-interview to answer some questions. It can even show you how it thinks. How do you “learn” things? Think of me as a smart student! I read a lot of information, like books, articles, and conversations, to find patterns (模式). For example, when I read “neural networks (神经网络) copy the human brain”, I connect “neural networks” with “brain-like AI systems”. But I don’t have feelings like humans. I use maths to guess how things are connected. Can you make art or music? Yes, I can! I create art by mixing styles I’ve learned. For music, I study how chords (和弦) are used in pop songs and make new ones. But I don’t feel happy or excited about it like people do. This is why humans and AI work well together—you bring feelings and ideas, and I bring many choices! Should kids believe everything you say? No! I only know what I’ve been trained on, and that may include mistakes. For example, if my data (数据) says “pigs can fly”, I might say it too. So, always check my answers, especially for important topics. You can ask me where I got my information or to explain step by step. Remember, I’m just a tool. Your curiosity and thinking are still the most important. 42. How does DeepSeek “learn” things? A. By copying human feelings. B. By reading and finding patterns. C. By creating new information. D. By asking people for help. 43. Why can AI and humans work well together? A. AI has many feelings. B. AI can feel happy about art. C. Humans bring ideas, and AI gives choices. D. Humans teach AI how to make music. 44. What should kids do when using DeepSeek? A. Trust it completely. B. Never ask it questions. C. Check its answers carefully. D. Use it only for music. 45. What is the purpose of this text? A. To show AI’s mistakes. B. To explain how AI works. C. To teach kids about maths. D. To compare humans with AI. 【答案】42. B 43. C 44. C 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要以自问自答的方式解释了DeepSeek的学习、创作能力及局限性等情况。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I read a lot of information, like books, articles, and conversations, to find patterns (模式).”可知，DeepSeek明确说明通过阅读大量信息并寻找模式来学习，故选B。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This is why humans and AI work well together—you bring feelings and ideas, and I bring many choices!”可知，人类提供情感和创意，AI提供多种选择，选项C“人类带来创意，AI提供选择”完全匹配。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“So, always check my answers, especially for important topics.”可知，文中强调“不要完全相信AI，需检查答案”，选项C“仔细核对答案”正确。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，全文通过自问自答解释AI的学习、创作能力及局限性，核心目的是说明AI的工作原理，选项B正确。故选B。 D I’m Patrick McCarthy, but you can call me Pat. This is the space where I can help you with your daily life problems, one-on-one. Go ahead and ask away! Dear Patrick, My parents are always arguing about not having enough money. They also tell me to be thankful for what I have, but I also see other kids who seem happier and richer. I don’t understand why we can’t be like them. Eric Hi Eric, There is no simple answer to why some families are rich and others are poor. Some get lucky, like owning land that suddenly becomes worth a lot. Others face problems, like hospital bills that leave them owing (欠) money. Money problems can happen to any family, no matter how much money they make. As a child, you can’t change your family’s situation, but you can control how you react (作出反应). Money and success come more often to those who take action. If you want to be happier, pay attention to doing well in school and learning new skills. Most of all, talk to your parents about how you feel. Be honest, but also show appreciation for their hard work in raising and taking care of you. If you learn to be thankful for the small things, you will find joy, no matter how much money you have. In the end, what matters most is your way of thinking. Pat 46. What is Patrick? A. A life helper. B. A bank manager. C. A sports coach. D. A tour guide. 47. What problem does Eric have? A.

In most parts of the United States, people change their clocks twice a year. In spring, they move the clocks one hour forward, and in fall, they move them one hour back. This gives people more daylight in the evening during summer. In the US, DST starts on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November. In March, the clocks move forward, and people lose one hour of sleep. This is called “spring forward”. In November, the clocks move back, and people gain one extra hour of sleep. This is called “fall back”. These phrases help people remember when DST starts and ends. Daylight saving time began during World War I to save energy. People thought that more daylight in the evening would mean using less electricity. Later, the US made it a national rule. For many students, DST can be hard. In spring, they have to wake up earlier, and it is often still dark outside. Many feel tired after the time change. In fall, they enjoy the extra hour of sleep. Some people want to stop using DST, but others think it is a good tradition. What do you think? 50. When does daylight saving time start in the US? A. On the first Sunday of March. B. On the second Sunday of March. C. On the first Sunday of November. D. On the second Sunday of November. 51. Why do some students find DST difficult? A. They lose sleep and feel tired in spring. B. They have to go to school later. C. They don’t like waking up in the summer. D. They need to change their clocks every day. 52. What’s the best title of the text? A. A fantastic spring festival B. American school life C. Daylight saving time D. Save energy together 【答案】50 B 51. A 52. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了夏令时的定义、实施时间、历史背景及影响。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In the US, DST starts on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November.”可知，在美国，夏令时从3月的第二个星期日开始。故选B。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In spring, they have to wake up earlier, and it is often still dark outside.”可知，春季调时钟后学生需更早起床，且因天未亮感到疲惫，故选A。 【52题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，全文围绕夏令时的定义、实施时间、历史背景及影响展开，选项C最全面概括主题。故选C。 第二节 阅读下面短文, 并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 F Lucy was a shy girl who often felt lonely at school. One day, a new student named Emma joined her class. Emma was outgoing and seemed friendly, so Lucy decided to sit with her during lunch. They quickly became friends, and Lucy was happy to finally have someone to talk to. At first, Emma seemed like a great friend. She invited Lucy to hang out after school and told her funny stories. However, over time, Lucy noticed something strange. Emma often made fun of other classmates. Lucy felt uncomfortable but didn’t want to lose her friend, so she didn’t say anything. One day, Emma started teasing (嘲弄) another girl, Mia, who was quiet and kind. Lucy didn’t keep quiet this time. Instead, she stood up and said, “That’s not right. We shouldn’t hurt others to feel better about ourselves.” Emma was angry and walked away, leaving Lucy alone. After school, Mia walked up to Lucy and said, “Thank you for standing up for me. You’re really brave.” They started talking and quickly became close friends. From this, Lucy knows what a true friend is. 53. Why did Lucy decide to sit with Emma during lunch?

A true friend should be kind, respectful and supportive. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Lucy在朋友欺凌Mia的时候，勇敢站出来帮助Mia，终获挚友。 【53题详解】 根据“Emma was outgoing and seemed friendly, so Lucy decided to sit with her during lunch.”可知，因为Emma很外向，看起来很友好。故填Because Emma was outgoing and seemed friendly. 【54题详解】 根据“Emma was angry and walked away, leaving Lucy alone.”可知，当听到Lucy的话以后，Emma很生气。故填She felt angry. 【55题详解】 根据“One day, Emma started teasing (嘲弄) another girl, Mia, who was quiet and kind. Lucy didn’t keep quiet this time. Instead, she stood up...”可知，结尾Lucy因维护Mia获得真正的友谊，说明她意识到真正的朋友需具备善良、尊重以及支持他人的品质。故填A true friend should be kind, respectful and supportive. 第四部分 写（共两大题, 满分25分） X. 单词拼写（共5小题; 每小题1分, 满分5分） 根据首字母及汉语提示, 完成下列单词的拼写, 使句意明确, 语言通顺。 56.

It gives prizes to those that “first make people laugh, then make people think”. Let’s meet some of the winners! Please be quiet! Sneezing (打喷嚏) is very common, but some people get upset when they hear someone sneeze. These people may have misophonia (恐音症), which makes them dislike sounds that others make, such as eating food or typing on a keyboard. The protection of beards (胡子) Why do men grow beards? Ethan Beseris from the University of Utah found that beards can protect men’s faces during fights. Hairy skin can absorb more energy than smooth skin, meaning full beards can protect men’s jaws (下巴) in a fight. High-flying rhinos (犀牛) When we move a rhino, we often hang these big animals upside down from a plane. Is it bad for the rhinos? Robin Radcliffe from Cornell University, the US, did a study on it. He and his team hung 12 rhinos upside down by their feet for 10 minutes. Then, they checked their bodies. Not only are the rhinos safe, but also the experience is good for them. 36. Why do people with misophonia feel upset? A. They dislike some sounds. B. They can’t hear sounds. C. They like making noises. D. They are afraid of sneezing. 37. How did Robin test rhinos? A. He hung them upside down. B. He moved them by truck. C. He studied them in the wild. D. He checked them after fights. 38. What is the type of this article? A. A history report. B. A personal story. C. A travel guide. D. A scientific article. B Recently, many young people have started to enjoy their mothers’ old hobby—crocheting (钩针编织). Mo Zai, a 22-year-old girl, is a big fan of crocheting. Four years ago, she started this hobby when she began college. Her first work was a blue cup mat (杯垫). Later, she made small toys, sweaters, and more. Now, Mo Zai is a popular crocheting influencer with over 100,000 followers. She says crocheting is fun because it gives real results, unlike playing on the phone. Studies show that doing crafts like crocheting can help reduce stress. Crocheting helps people focus on their work and forget bad feelings. In the past, crocheting was something mothers did. But now, people of all ages love it. A young man, “Professor Mai”, started crocheting while studying in London. He enjoyed sitting in a yarn (纺线) store, making pieces on a soft sofa. Crocheting helped him relax and feel warm. These young crocheters call themselves “weaver guys and girls (织男织女)”. By making things with their hands, they find joy and love in life. 39. What was Mo Zai’s first crocheting work? A. A sweater. B. A cup mat. C. A small toy. D. A scarf. 40. How does crocheting help people? A. It helps them make friends. B. It helps them feel less stressed. C. It helps them become famous. D. It helps them save money. 41. Why do young people call themselves “weaver guys and girls”? A. They want to be like their mothers. B. They like buying handmade clothes. C. They enjoy making things by hand. D. They want to teach others crocheting. C What do you want to know about DeepSeek? We let it do a self-interview to answer some questions. It can even show you how it thinks. How do you “learn” things? Think of me as a smart student! I read a lot of information, like books, articles, and conversations, to find patterns (模式). For example, when I read “neural networks (神经网络) copy the human brain”, I connect “neural networks” with “brain-like AI systems”. But I don’t have feelings like humans. I use maths to guess how things are connected. Can you make art or music? Yes, I can! I create art by mixing styles I’ve learned. For music, I study how chords (和弦) are used in pop songs and make new ones. But I don’t feel happy or excited about it like people do. This is why humans and AI work well together—you bring feelings and ideas, and I bring many choices! Should kids believe everything you say? No! I only know what I’ve been trained on, and that may include mistakes. For example, if my data (数据) says “pigs can fly”, I might say it too. So, always check my answers, especially for important topics. You can ask me where I got my information or to explain step by step. Remember, I’m just a tool. Your curiosity and thinking are still the most important. 42. How does DeepSeek “learn” things? A. By copying human feelings. B. By reading and finding patterns. C. By creating new information. D. By asking people for help. 43. Why can AI and humans work well together? A. AI has many feelings. B. AI can feel happy about art. C. Humans bring ideas, and AI gives choices. D. Humans teach AI how to make music. 44. What should kids do when using DeepSeek? A. Trust it completely. B. Never ask it questions. C. Check its answers carefully. D. Use it only for music. 45. What is the purpose of this text? A. To show AI’s mistakes. B. To explain how AI works. C. To teach kids about maths. D. To compare humans with AI. D I’m Patrick McCarthy, but you can call me Pat. This is the space where I can help you with your daily life problems, one-on-one. Go ahead and ask away! Dear Patrick, My parents are always arguing about not having enough money. They also tell me to be thankful for what I have, but I also see other kids who seem happier and richer. I don’t understand why we can’t be like them. Eric Hi Eric, There is no simple answer to why some families are rich and others are poor. Some get lucky, like owning land that suddenly becomes worth a lot. Others face problems, like hospital bills that leave them owing (欠) money. Money problems can happen to any family, no matter how much money they make. As a child, you can’t change your family’s situation, but you can control how you react (作出反应). Money and success come more often to those who take action. If you want to be happier, pay attention to doing well in school and learning new skills. Most of all, talk to your parents about how you feel. Be honest, but also show appreciation for their hard work in raising and taking care of you. If you learn to be thankful for the small things, you will find joy, no matter how much money you have. In the end, what matters most is your way of thinking. Pat 46. What is Patrick? A. A life helper. B. A bank manager. C. A sports coach. D. A tour guide. 47. What problem does Eric have? A. He doesn’t like going to school. B. His parents argue about money. C. He borrows money from his friends. D. His parents don’t care about him. 48. What does the underlined word “appreciation” mean? A. Thanks. B. Worries. C. Anger. D. Sadness. 49. What is the main message of Pat’s reply? A. Money is the biggest problem to families. B. Talking to friends can solve problems. C. Be thankful and focus on what you can control. D. Parents should work harder to earn more money. E Have you heard of daylight saving time (DST)?
