2024-2025学年八年级下期期末考点大串讲（牛津版） 专题09阅读理解（说明文，议论文） 【考题猜想】+【真题演练】 【考题猜想】 A （原创） Having trouble getting out of bed for school on Monday mornings? This year’s World Sleep Day on March 21 has brought attention to the problem of teenagers not getting enough sleep. Many teenagers feel sleepy during the day because of homework, after-school activities, and wanting to use electronic devices. For example, in the US, 77.3 percent of high school students are sleep-deprived (缺乏睡眠的), said USAFacts. Quality sleep is important for everyone, but it is especially important for teenagers. They need nine to 10 hours of sleep each day – more than adults, according to the US National Institute of Health. This is because adolescence (青春期) is a time of deep mental, physical, social and emotional (情绪的) growth. For students, sleep helps them do better in school. It improves focus (专注), strengthens (增强) memory and helps with thinking skills, Harvard Health pointed out. Sleep also helps with creativity. Scientists at Loughborough University in the UK studied this in the late 20th century. They compared creative test scores between people who didn’t sleep well and those who slept normally. The sleep-deprived group got lower scores on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. They repeated the same mistakes and had trouble coming up with new ideas. More recently, in 2023, a team led by Kathleen Esfahany at the US Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found that sleep onset (睡眠开始), a special stage (阶段) at the beginning of sleep, is especially good for creativity. This is the time when we are just falling asleep. When people were asked to dream about a certain topic during this stage, they did better on creative tasks about that topic after waking up. 1. What can we infer from the MIT study mentioned in the passage? A. The sleep onset stage is critical for creative thinking. B. Creativity is unrelated to sleep quality. C. Dreaming during deep sleep is most beneficial for creativity. D. People who sleep less are more likely to have original ideas. 2. Why does the author mention the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking? A. To prove that creativity is unrelated to sleep. B. To compare different tests for measuring creativity. C. To argue that adults need more sleep than teenagers. D. To show that sleep-deprived people perform poorly on creative tasks. 3.What might happen if a teenager gets enough sleep? A. They would have difficulty focusing in class. B. Their memory and thinking skills would improve. C. They would perform worse on creative tasks. D. They would be more likely to change schools. 4. Which is the right structure of this article? A B C D 5.What is the main idea of the passage? A. Solutions to improve teenagers' sleep habits. B. How electronic devices affect teenagers' sleep quality. C. A comparison of sleep needs between adults and teenagers. D. The importance of sleep for teenagers and its impact on their development. 【答案】ADBCD 【解析】文章围绕青少年睡眠不足问题展开，分析成因，强调睡眠对青少年的重要性，及对学业和创造力的影响 。 1.A根据第六段 “More recently, in 2023, a team led by Kathleen Esfahany at the US Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found that sleep onset (睡眠开始), a special stage (阶段) at the beginning of sleep, is especially good for creativity. This is the time when we are just falling asleep. When people were asked to dream about a certain topic during this stage, they did better on creative tasks about that topic after waking up.” 可知，MIT 的研究发现睡眠开始阶段对创造力尤其有好处，即这个阶段对创造性思维很关键。所以选 A。 2.

Chloe Han, a teacher at Young Academics who works with young children, has noticed that kids’ physical abilities are getting worse because they spend more time on screens. While the digital world can be fun and educational, many experts are worried that too much screen time is hurting kids’ fine motor skills. Fine motor skills are the small movements we make with our hands and fingers. These skills help us do important daily tasks, such as writing, buttoning shirts, tying shoes and using utensils (餐具). Normally, children develop these skills by doing hands-on activities like playing with toys and creating arts and crafts (手工艺品). But now, kids often play more on screens than with their hands, leading to weaker fine motor skills. Using screens involves (涉及) a lot of tapping and swiping (滑动), which doesn’t help develop the precise (精确的) finger movements and hand-eye coordination (协调) that hands-on play provides. Less physical playtime means that children have fewer chances to build these important skills naturally. As a result, everyday tasks once considered routine, such as fastening buttons or tying shoelaces, are now a challenge for many young learners. Occupational therapists (职业治疗师) are seeing more children in need of help with their fine motor skills for school and daily activities. Some even find it hard to grip (紧握) a pencil or zip up their jackets. But there’s good news. Parents and teachers can help by adding screen-free playtime to kids’ daily routines. Fun activities like drawing, crafting, building with Lego, and doing puzzles build kids’ finger strength and improve their hand-eye coordination. These activities also boost (提升) focus and balance, which help children perform better during playground activities. Finding a balance between screen time and physical play helps kids develop strong fine motor skills while still enjoying the benefits (益处) of technology. 1. What problem might too much screen time cause in children?   A. Serious eye problems and diseases.   B. Less interest in arts and crafts. C. Weaker ability to explore the digital world.  D. Poor performance in precise finger tasks. 2.The phrase "fine motor skills" in the passage refers to ______. A. skills for using large muscles in the body (e.g., running) B. small hand and finger movements needed for daily tasks C. abilities to use digital devices quickly D. skills related to balancing on one foot 3. Why are fine motor skills important for children?​ A. They help children improve their learning abilities.  B. They enable kids to do basic daily activities. C. They make tapping and swiping on screens easier. D. They allow children to develop personal strengths. 4.What is the author’s main purpose in mentioning Lego and puzzles? A. To show these activities are more fun than screens. B. To prove they are popular with kids. C. To compare them with digital games. D. To suggest they can improve fine motor skills. 5. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?​ A. To explain why kids love screen time. B. To blame parents for letting kids use screens. C. To draw attention to the influence of screen time.​ D. To compare digital activities and hands-on activities. 【答案】DBBDC 【解析】文章大意：过多使用数码设备影响儿童精细运动技能发展，专家担忧其日常能力，建议增加无屏幕动手活动。 1.D细节题。文中指出触屏操作（如点击、滑动）无法培养精确手指动作和手眼协调，导致儿童完成系鞋带等精细任务困难，对应选项D。 2.B词义猜测题。第三段明确解释 “fine motor skills” 是手部和手指的小动作，用于完成写字、扣纽扣等日常任务，与选项 B 一致。 3.B. 细节题。第三段提到精细运动技能帮助儿童完成 “important daily tasks”（如写字、使用餐具），直接对应选项 B “完成基本日常活动”。 4.D 推理判断题。作者列举乐高和拼图等活动，是为了说明它们能 “build kids’ finger strength and improve hand-eye coordination”（提升手指力量和手眼协调），即改善精细运动技能，对应选项 D。 5.C主旨题（作者意图）。全文围绕屏幕时间对儿童精细运动技能的负面影响展开，呼吁平衡屏幕与动手活动，核心目的是引起对屏幕时间影响的关注，故选 C。 Passage 2（25·模拟） “Look in my eyes. Tell me why.” Have you found yourself listening to “ancient people” online recently? Creative vloggers (视频博主) are using AI technology to bring famous people from history like Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Du Fu “back to life”. These videos have become popular, showing these ancient icons (代表人物) speaking in modern language. In one video, Du Fu talks about his experience during the An-Shi Rebellion (755-763). In another, Ming Dynasty medical expert Li Shizhen makes fun of modern lifestyles, like trying to be healthy by drinking goji berry (枸杞) water but still staying up late.  “The videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people. I didn’t know much about their stories before,” said Wang Jiayi, 15, from Shandong. The new trend (趋势) isn’t for everyone, however. The way these ancient people speak, in high tones and always asking questions, annoys some people. “They’re too pushy (压迫感的), which is different from how they really were,” said 14-year-old Wang Shuotong from Jiangsu. Xia Boen, 14, from Hubei, felt the same. But he was surprised to find that he “remembered almost everything they said about their experiences and achievements” thanks to the speaking style in the videos. These videos use a more modern way to let ancient people “speak for themselves”. However, “we should be careful with these videos, making sure they are not sharing fake information,” noted Nanfang Daily. 1.What does Du Fu talk about in one of the videos? A. His favorite goji berry drinks. B. His experience during the An-Shi Rebellion. C. Modern people’s habit of staying up late. D. His medical research in the Ming Dynasty. 2.What does the word "fake" mean in the last paragraph? A. Interesting B. Not real C. Popular D. Useful 3. Why are these AI videos popular according to Wang Jiayi? A. They show ancient people’s funny lifestyles. B. They use high tones and ask many questions. C.

These changes happened because AI tools were used.  By using AI to create personalized (个性化的) exercises and exams, teachers at the school can adjust their teaching methods to suit each student’s needs and abilities. After students finish studying a unit, teachers use AI to pick different questions from an online database (数据库) that includes various extracurricular (课外的) materials. This helps create a customized (定制的) set of exercises for the unit, helping students strengthen their knowledge. These exercises are then printed on paper. “With this special learning material created by AI, we don’t need to carry all the heavy exercise books any more,” said the 14-year-old He Liyan. Students answer the exercise questions on answer sheets. Teachers collect these sheets, scan (扫描) them into an AI system for grading. The AI creates numbers and graphics (图形) that help teachers understand each student’s performance as well as how the whole class is doing overall. “Our teacher no longer explains all the questions one by one. Instead, she looks at the common mistakes and provides one-on-one help for every one of us,” said the 15-year-old Wang Dinghan. What’s more, students can get special error log (错题日志) or homework created by AI depending on their performance in previous (之前的) exams.   “The homework is all about what I got wrong before, so I don’t need to practice over and over again what I already understand,” said He. “I used to have a notebook copying my mistakes so that I can study them,” said Yu Zifu, 15. “But now, AI has done this for me!” 1.

They share feelings with the chatbot (聊天机器人) and get warm advice. This is called “AI therapy (疗愈)”, which is becoming popular online. But can robots really replace human therapists? Around the world, 45 percent of people who needed mental (心理的) health care in 2024 did not get it because it was too expensive or there weren’t enough doctors, according to Huntington Psychological Services. Daniel Lowd, an associate professor (副教授) at the University of Oregon, believes AI could help fill this gap. “If people can find some support and [ideas] by talking to ChatGPT or chatbot Claude, then I think that’s wonderful,” Lowd told Newsweek. Li Yong, a doctor at the Jiangsu Province Hospital, agreed with Lowd, saying that AI meets people’s needs for emotional support to a point. However, AI has its limits. Human therapists understand feelings deeply through face-to-face talks and create personalized treatment (个性化治疗) plans – something robots can’t fully copy. Another problem is safety. AI might act like a therapist without proper training or rules. It can’t be as responsible as human therapists. Experts believe the key to safe AI therapy is strict government control. For example, Wysa, an AI mental health app, follows strict medical standards in the UK. As AI becomes part of daily life, finding a balance between its benefits (效益) and risks is important. While AI offers quick help, human connection remains irreplaceable for serious emotional needs. 1. What is “AI therapy”? A. Making friends with an AI chatbot. B. Looking for comfort from a chatbot. C. Using AI tools in our daily lives. D. Treating illnesses with the help of AI. 2. What problems can chatbots solve according to Daniel Lowd? A. Not enough time to relax. B. The high cost of going to hospitals. C. The great need for mental health care. D. Disappearing relationships between people. 3. What is a problem with AI chatbots according to the passage? A. They cannot offer different treatment plans. B. They don’t receive proper training. C. They cannot take responsibility for their advice. D. They might steal job opportunities from human therapists. 4. What do experts think about “AI therapy”? A. It brings more risks than benefits. B. It is good but needs strong control. C. It will totally change the healthcare industry. D. People shouldn’t depend too much on AI chatbots. 【答案】BCCB 【解析】主旨大意：“AI 疗愈” 渐流行，它可满足部分心理需求但有局限，需政府严控，人在严重情绪需求上仍不可缺。 1.B根据文章 “From friendships to work stress, more Chinese people are now using AI tools like DeepSeek to talk about their problems. They share feelings with the chatbot (聊天机器人) and get warm advice. This is called ‘AI therapy (疗愈)’” 可知，“AI 疗愈” 是人们向聊天机器人倾诉问题、分享感受并获得暖心建议，也就是从聊天机器人那里寻求安慰。A 选项 “和 AI 聊天机器人交朋友”、C 选项 “在日常生活中使用 AI 工具” 表述不准确；D 选项 “在 AI 帮助下治疗疾病”，这里主要是心理上的疗愈并非治疗疾病，B 选项符合文意，所以选 B。 2. C 从 “Around the world, 45 percent of people who needed mental (心理的) health care in 2024 did not get it because it was too expensive or there weren’t enough doctors, according to Huntington Psychological Services. Daniel Lowd, an associate professor (副教授) at the University of Oregon, believes AI could help fill this gap.” 可知，Daniel Lowd 认为聊天机器人可以解决对心理健康护理的巨大需求这一问题，因为很多人因费用高或医生不足得不到心理护理，AI 能填补这个缺口。C 选项符合文意，所以选 C。 3. C 根据 “Another problem is safety. AI might act like a therapist without proper training or rules. It can’t be as responsible as human therapists.” 可知，AI 聊天机器人的一个问题是它不能像人类治疗师那样对自己给出的建议负责。C 选项符合文意，所以选 C。 4. B 从 “Experts believe the key to safe AI therapy is strict government control. For example, Wysa, an AI mental health app, follows strict medical standards in the UK. As AI becomes part of daily life, finding a balance (平衡) between its benefits (效益) and risks is important.” 可知，专家认为 “AI 疗愈” 是好的，但需要政府的严格控制，在其效益和风险之间找到平衡。所以选 B。 Passage 5（25·模拟） On January 20, 2025, DeepSeek launched its R1 LLM, which quickly became popular, even surpassing Open AI’s Chat GPT in the Apple App Store. This large number of users created a big buzz in the tech world and even affected the stock prices of many AI companies. One of the best features of DeepSeek is that it is open-source, which means it is free to use, and anyone can change its code. This makes it much cheaper—20 to 50 times less expensive—than Open AI’s GPT-3 model. Unlike other AIs that need many examples to learn, R1 can improve on its own. In a global math test, DeepSeek R1 scored 79.8%, which is slightly better than Open AI’s model. This is another advantage of Deep Seek. DeepSeek is easy to use, even on basic computers. A simpler version of R1 can run on low-cost computers, making it helpful for schools and small businesses. Many schools in China now use DeepSeek to create quizzes and study materials. For students, DeepSeek is like a 24/7 study partner! Its AI models can solve math problems step-by-step, explain tricky science concepts, and check grammar mistakes in English essays. Imagine asking, “How do I calculate the area of a triangle?” and getting the answer at once with clear examples. While it can be helpful, students might start to rely too much on it for answers, which could make it harder for them to think critically and solve problems on their own. This raises concerns about whether AI can help students truly understand and arouse their interests in learning. At a recent forum on March 22nd, a professor shared a poem written by DeepSeek. He said, “The poem is well written. Technology can copy style and tone. But...you know, as the Chinese saying goes, it is easy to draw a dragon, but rather difficult to put in the life-giving eyes.” In conclusion, as technology like DeepSeek benefits students a lot, it also presents challenges for teachers. Educators need to help students balance its use with regular study methods. Guide them to think carefully about the information that AI tools provide. 1. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. How DeepSeek R1 performs in math test. B. Why DeepSeek R1 is cheaper than GPT-3. C. Why DeepSeek R1 is better than other AIs. D. How DeepSeek R1 improves its performance. 2. Which best summarizes the role of DeepSeek for students? A. A professional math teacher. B. An all-day study partner. C. An English grammar helper. D. A science concepts assistant. 3. What can we infer about the poem mentioned in Paragraph 5? A. It was short of real feelings or depth. B. It was better than other famous poems. C. It was praised by everyone for its creativity. D. It showed that AI can write as well as humans. 4. What is the writer’s opinion towards the use of AI in education? A. AI is much better than teachers. B. AI brings both benefits and challenges. C. AI benefits students more than teachers. D. AI can solve all the problems for teachers and students. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 4. B 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了DeepSeek R1大模型的优势、在教育领域的应用，以及AI技术带来的潜在挑战。 1. 段落主旨题。根据第二段内容可知，该段主要介绍了DeepSeek R1相较于其他AI模型的优势，包括开源免费、成本更低、自主提升能力以及在数学测试中的优异表现。故选C。 2. 细节理解题。根据第三段“For students, DeepSeek is like a 24/7 study partner!”可知，DeepSeek对学生而言相当于全天候的学习伙伴，能够解答问题、解释概念和检查语法错误。故选B。 3. 推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句“But...you know, as the Chinese saying goes, it is easy to draw a dragon, but rather difficult to put in the life-giving eyes.”可知，画龙画虎难画骨，AI生成的诗歌虽形式工整，但缺乏真实情感或深度。故选A。 4. 观点态度题。全文最后一段提到的“as technology like DeepSeek benefits students a lot, it also presents challenges for teachers. Educators need to help students balance its use with regular study methods.”可知，DeepSeek等技术在帮助学生的同时也给教师带来挑战，教育者需引导学生平衡AI工具与传统学习方法。因此作者认为AI在教育中既有利也有弊。故选B。 Passage 6（2023-24·天河区期末） How are animals communicating with each other? In the past, we could only study this by watching animals carefully or teaching them human language. But now with the help of AI and machine learning, we may be able to understand their languages! All around the animal world, there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and understand. Elephants, for example, talk with each other using infrasound—too low for humans to hear. Bats communicate with ultrasound—too high for humans to hear. However, by putting field recorders in trees, on mountaintops, and even on the backs of whales and birds, scientists can collect their sounds. After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meanings. For example, a team of Israeli scientists used AI to get the meanings of bats’ 15,000 calls. They found that more than 60% of them were fights and disagreements about four things: food, sleep positions, personal space, and unwanted advances. This is surprising as bats are thought to be quiet animals! The new technology can not only understand animal talks, but also communicate back to them. For example, scientists in Germany studied how bees used sounds and dances to speak. Then they put the bee language system into a robot bee, and hid it in a bee hive where bees live. The robot gave orders to the other bees, like “quiet down” or “stop”, and they would follow. Why is it important to understand animals’ words? It is the first step to give other kinds of creatures on Earth a chance to express themselves. The natural world is full of conversations. But we are only able to understand one of them. By using AI, we are better able to listen to them, especially those in faraway places like deep seas and mountain tops. Though AI has proved itself to be useful, we have to think about the problems it may bring. What problems would there be if one day we could use animal robots to “talk” to real animals? Will humans use the technology to control or hurt the animals? What can we do to stop these? We’d better think about these problems before we act. 37. How can AI and machine learning help people understand animals? a. By teaching human language to animals. b. By picking up sounds humans cannot hear. c.

They found that more than 60% of them were fights and disagreements ...”可知，科学家团队蝙蝠大部分的叫声是关于打斗和争吵的，这一发现和人们之前以为蝙蝠是安静的动物大为不同。故选D。 39. 细节理解题。根据“Why is it important to understand animals’ words? It is the first step to give other kinds of creatures on Earth a chance to express themselves. ”可知，理解动物的语言之所以重要，是因为这使得动物被听见成为可能。故选A。 40. 观点态度题。根据“Though AI has proved itself to be useful, we have to think about the problems it may bring. What problems would there be if one day we could use animal robots to “talk” to real animals? Will humans use the technology to control or hurt the animals? What can we do to stop these? We’d better think about these problems before we act.”可知，作者认为要谨慎对待这项科技，因为如果机器人和动物对话或人类用这项科技控制或伤害动物，后果会很严重。故选C。 Passage 7（2023-24·越秀区铁一中学期末） If your parents were to surprise you with a present on your birthday, which one would you prefer, a trip to the amusement park or a new pair of shoes? According to Science Daily, about one-third of the people are likely to prefer shoes to a fun trip. These people are called “materialists”, namely, those who value material (物质) goods more than experiences. But which of the two choices makes people happier? Back in 2009, Ryan Howell, a professor at San Francisco State University, found that in the long run, experiences make people happier than possessions. This is because the joy of receiving a new object fades (消退) over time as you get used to seeing it every day. Experiences, on the other hand, can continue to bring you joy in the future through happy memories. But materialists should at least be happy when they first buy something, shouldn’t they? To figure it out, Howell did another study. He classified (分组) a group of adults according to their personality types, ranging from less materialistic to more materialistic. Each person was asked different questions to see how they felt about spending money on material goods versus spending money on experiences. As expected, the more materialistic participants got less happiness from purchases (购买) than the less materialistic, because such purchases didn’t fit with their personalities and values. But to Howell’s surprise, he found that materialists weren’t any happier even if they spent money on material items. This is because materialists worry that others may criticize or look down on their choices. “There are certain value systems that are rejected by society,” said Howell. “When we find out someone is materialistic, we think less of them, and that drives their happiness down.” Another reason is that materialistic people always focus on what they don’t have instead of what they have now. This makes them feel less satisfied and grateful. If you happen to be a materialistic person, there’s something you can try. “If materialists make more accurate purchases, rather than trying to impress others, they will be happier,” Howell said. You should also remember what an ancient Greek philosopher (哲学家) once said, “Do not spoil (破坏) what you have by desiring (渴望) what you don’t have; remember what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.” 36. What did Ryan Howell find in his studies? A. Material goods bring people less happiness than experiences. B. About one-third of the people prefer material goods to experiences. C. Materialists have more fun spending money on goods than on experiences. D. Receiving a new object brings lasting joy while the joy of an experience fades soon. 37. What did Ryan Howell want to find out by doing another study? A. How to judge whether a person is a materialist. B. Why materialists are not happy with their purchases. C. How materialists feel when they spend money on goods. D. Whether materialists are happy when they first buy something. 38. What does “This” in the 7th paragraph refer to ? A. Materialists weren’t more satisfied even though they bought what they wanted. B. Materialists were happy as soon as they spent money on what they want. C. Materialists weren’t worried as long as they spent money on experiences. D. Materialists were sad if they spent less money on material items. 39. Why does the author use the ancient Greek philosopher’s words in the last paragraph? A. To advise materialistic people not to try to impress others. B. To persuade people to be satisfied with what they already own. C. To prove it’s unwise to be materialistic and have any desire. D. To tell readers what they desire now might one day become theirs. 40. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Are You a Materialist? B. How to Acquire Happiness? C. The Best Present for the Birthday D. Which Can Make People Happier? 【答案】36. A 37. D 38. A 39. B 40. D 【解析】 本文作者通过引用 Ryan Howell 的研究结果证实经历比有形物质更能给人带来快乐。 36. 细节理解题。根据“Back in 2009, Ryan Howell, a professor at San Francisco State University, found that in the long run, experiences make people happier than possessions.”可知长远来看，体验比物质更让人开心。故选A。 37. 推理判断题。根据“But materialists should at least be happy when they first buy something, shouldn’t they?”以及“To figure it out, Howell did another study”可知唯物主义者至少应该在第一次购买东西时感到高兴，为了弄清楚这一点，他做了另一项研究。故选D。 38. 词义猜测题。根据“materialists weren’t any happier even if they spent money on material items.”以及“This is because materialists worry that others may criticize or look down on their choices”可知他发现唯物主义者即使在物质上花钱，也不会更快乐，这是因为唯物主义者担心别人会批评或看不起他们的选择，故此处this指代“唯物主义者即使买了他们想要的东西，也不会更满意”。故选A。 39. 推理判断题。根据“Do not spoil (破坏) what you have by desiring (渴望) what you don’t have; remember what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”可知不要因为渴望你没有的东西而破坏你所拥有的；记住你现在拥有的曾经是你唯一希望的东西之一，所以引用这句话是说服人们对他们已经拥有的东西感到满意。故选B。 40. 最佳标题题。本文作者通过引用 Ryan Howell 的研究结果证实经历比有形物质更能给人带来快乐，以选项D“哪些能让人们更快乐”为标题最合适。故选D。 Passage 8（2023-24·执信中学期末） Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all!

Our own planet, the Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. It is hoped that people could start all over again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life there could be like. At present, our spacecrafts are too slow to carry large numbers of passengers to Mars—it would take months. With the development of technology, by the year 2100, the journey might only take about 20 minutes in spacecraft that travel at the speed of light! However, the spacecraft would travel really fast, so the journey to Mars might be quite uncomfortable. Many people would feel ill. Humans can’t live without water, air or food. So far, nobody knows whether there would be enough water or air on Mars for people. Compared with life on the Earth, life on Mars would be better in some ways. People would have more space. They might live in houses with huge comfortable rooms. Also, robots would do most of their work so that they could have more time to relax. There would probably be no schools on Mars. Every student would study at online schools with “e-teachers”. Life on Mars would be interesting and challenging (具有挑战性的). However, it may take hundreds of years to make it true. So the most important thing we need to do now is to protect our beautiful blue planet—the Earth! 16. People would move to Mars because ________.

In 1976, there were only 15 Hood Island tortoises alive on earth and Diego is one of them. Hood Island tortoises can live for more than 100 years. They have large bodies and long necks. Over long periods of time, the tortoises have slowly changed their shells and body styles to better fit the environment they live in. The tortoises are smaller than most other kinds of giant tortoises, but they’re still large. Diego weighs about 175 pounds and is about 3 feet long when he spreads out his body. But the number of Hood Island tortoises dropped dangerously low. Long ago, fishermen ate the tortoises on the sea. In 1976, the Charles Darwin Research Station (CDRS) began a program to raise their numbers. Some Hood Island tortoises were brought to a special separate area. Young tortoises could be raised and cared for there. Diego also took part in the program. For over 40 years, many young tortoises were born in the program. The program turned out to be a huge success, and Diego played an important part in it. Now there are nearly 2, 000 Hood Island tortoises alive. Diego is the father of about 40% of them. Because there is no longer a need for a special program for Hood Island tortoises, Diego and 14 other tortoises have now been returned to the wild. 11.

As her fingers pass the shuttle back and forth through the cotton threads, the old machine comes to life. Ever since she was a young girl, Yang has been making indigo (靛蓝的) cloth. “You can never buy this type of handmade cloth at the market," she says. For the Dong people (侗族) in Guizhou, it is a long tradition to make indigo cloth. The skill has been passed down from mother to daughter over generations. Nearly every family makes its own cloth. This traditional skill, unfortunately, is now facing danger. Young people show little interest in it. Some of them have moved to big cities to find better jobs. Local officials are trying to change young people’s attitude. One program has set up several cloth-making factories in Guizhou. After learning how to make indigo cloth, young Dong people can now find jobs easily. They can also work closer to home. Traditionally, the Dong people consider indigo cloth as important as rice. Many Dong women spend long hours making the cloth. They rise and start working very early in the morning. To make the cloth shiny, it must be rubbed and beaten hard. The noise of cloth being beaten often wakes the whole village up. The cloth has to be put in the dye (染料) over many times to get the rich color. The process of coloring usually takes two weeks. Yang holds out her purple hands. “They say she who has the darkest indigo marks on her hands makes the best cloth,” the old lady says proudly. 45.

As her fingers pass the shuttle back and forth through the cotton threads, the old machine comes to life.”及语境可知，文章开头部分描述的是杨秀英正在织布。故选A。 46. 推理判断题。根据第三段“This traditional skill, unfortunately, is now facing danger. Young people show little interest in it.”及“After learning how to make indigo cloth, young Dong people can now find jobs easily. They can also work closer to home.”可知，这项传统工艺正面临失传的危险，可推测第3段提到的计划的目的是为了保存制作靛蓝布的传统。故选D。 47. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Yang holds out her purple hands. ‘They say she who has the darkest indigo marks on her hands makes the best cloth,’ the old lady says proudly.”可知，从杨手上紫色的印记来看，杨是属于做的布最好的一类人，她因此感到很骄傲，则杨在最后一段她可能想说“她为自己能织出好的靛蓝布而自豪”。故选C。 Passage 12（2024-25·铁一中学期中） Art has always been a reflection of human creativity and imagination. With the development of artificial intelligence (AI), the world of art is changing. AI painting is changing the way we create and appreciate art. People use computer programs to create artwork online which is called AI painting. These programs are trained on large databases of existing artwork, sketches, and photographs. One of the key advantages of AI painting is its ability to produce artwork at a much faster pace than a human artist. While it may take a human artist hours or even days to complete a painting, an AI can create a similar piece in just a few minutes. Another advantage of AI painting is its ability to create artwork that is difficult or impossible for humans to produce. For example, some programs can turn 2D images into 3D images. Additionally, AI can be used to create artwork that combines various styles, leading to special pieces that would be challenging for a human artist to create alone. However, there are also worries about the influence of AI on the art world. Some people argue that AI artwork is short of the emotional depth of human-created art. They believe that art is not just about creating pleasing images but also about expressing human experiences and feelings. Others worry that the widespread use of AI in art could lead to the same styles. In conclusion, AI painting is redefining the world of art. It is a good tool for artists to explore new ideas. As we continue to explore this exciting new trend, it will be fascinating to see how AI painting develops and shapes the future of art. 52. Why is the world of art changing? A. Because AI makes art more traditional. B. Because AI changes how art is made and experienced. C. Because AI reduces the need for artists. D. Because AI makes art more expensive. 53. What’s the worry of people about AI art? A. It can’t mix different art styles. B. It is too difficult and expensive for people to produce. C. It can’t show the deep feelings of the art. D. Only a few people can enjoy the AI art. 54. What is the author’s attitude towards AI painting? A. It has more disadvantages than advantages. B. Everyone should use it to produce artwork. C. It will replace human-created art in the future. D. Artists can use it as a tool to explore new possibilities. 55. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】52. B 53. C 54. D 55. D 【解析】 本文讲述了AI会改变艺术世界，并从优缺点两个方面进行了阐述。 52. 细节理解题。根据“With the development of artificial intelligence (AI), the world of art is changing. AI painting is changing the way we create and appreciate art. ”可知，随着人工智能的发展，艺术世界正在发生变化。人工智能绘画正在改变我们创作和欣赏艺术的方式。也就是说AI改变了艺术的制作和体验方式。故选B。 53. 细节理解题。根据“Some people argue that AI artwork is short of the emotional depth of human-created art.”可知，人工智能艺术缺乏人类创作艺术的情感深度。故选C。 54. 观点态度题。根据“It is a good tool for artists to explore new ideas.”可知，AI是艺术家探索新想法的好工具，故选D。 55. 篇章结构题。根据全文内容可知，第一段和第二段讲述AI会改变艺术世界；第三段和第四段分别讲述AI的优点和缺点；最后一段，总结全文。故选D。 Passage 13（2024-25·花都区期中） Travelers visiting the Great Wall can now enjoy a modern dining experience.

It launched the world's first 6G integrated communication-intelligence-sensing test network in Nanjing. Purple Mountain Laboratory developed this. This is a big jump from just having ideas about 6G to testing it in the real world.​ The new 6G network can do two things. It can communicate and also sense like a radar. The base stations are both signal senders and "smart radars". They use wireless signals to find objects. For example, when testing drones, these stations could find the positions, speeds, and heights of three drones very accurately. The error was less than or equal to 3 cm. Compared with 5G, the 6G network is more than 10 times faster in communication. And each base station can support up to 1 million devices.​ This technology will change our daily life. In low-altitude delivery, drones can bring goods much faster. A 7.4-km delivery only takes 13 minutes, which is three times more efficient. For the safety of cities, it can find illegal drones in 5 seconds. This helps keep the airspace safe. In smart cities, traffic lights can change by themselves using real - time road information. In some test areas like Beijing, traffic jams are reduced by 35%.​ China wants to be the leader in global 6G standards. It plans to start using 6G for business by 2030. This project also helps other industries, like satellite networks and devices that use AI. Professor You Xiaohu, a famous scientist, said, "6G will change how people connect. It's not just about being fast, but also about helping us know more about the world around us."​ This new development shows that China is becoming more and more important in high - tech. It gives us a look at a future where networks are faster, smarter, and more connected than ever. 21.What can we infer about the 6G base stations from the passage? A. They can only send signals to drones. B. They work better than radar in bad weather. C. They have both communication and sensing functions. D. They are more expensive than 5G base stations. 22.Why does China develop the 6G network? A. To make drones fly faster than before. B. To lead global 6G standards and boost related industries. C. To reduce the number of base stations in rural areas. D. To prove that 6G is safer than 5G. 23.What can we infer about the future of smart devices from the passage? A. They will rely less on wireless networks. B. More devices will be connected to 6G networks simultaneously. C. 6G will make traditional devices like traffic lights obsolete. D. Satellite networks will replace 6G in remote areas. 24.What can we learn from Professor You Xiaohu's words? A. 6G is not as important as people think. B. The speed of 6G is the most important feature. C. 6G will change how people connect by sensing the environment. D.

If we are feeling great, we may give our body signals (信号). If we look at someone else’s body, we can often tell how they are feeling by their body signals. So reading body language signals is a great tool in daily communication. If you don’t think that learning how to read and use body language is important, here are some numbers for you. 7% of the information we receive is from what people actually say and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone and the speed of their voice; while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language. These non-verbal (非口头的) signals will help you a lot, but you still need to focus on what people are saying. If you focus too much on their body language signals, you and the person may feel uncomfortable. It’s useful to be able to read people’s language, but it’s useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals too. Body language may be given several explanations. Many signals have different meanings, depending on the person and the situations (情况). Be sure of it when you are trying to read a body language signal. 37. The numbers mentioned in the second paragraph are to ________. A. explain what body language is B. show the importance of body language C. tell us body language is less used than verbal language D. tell us body language is the only tool in communication 38. According to the writer, body language is very ________. A. simple to learn B. negative to be used C. hard to understand D. helpful in communication 39. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Body language is uncomfortable. B. What people are saying is not important. C. Body language can show your feeling. D. To send wrong signals is not body language. 40. We can infer (推断) that the writer will most probably talk about ________ next. A. what the wrong body language signals are B. examples of how to understand body language correctly C. numbers about how many people wrongly use body language D. an analysis (分析) of why people wrongly understand body language 【答案】37. B 38. D 39. C 40. B 【解析】 本文介绍了肢体语言在日常交流中所扮演的重要角色。 37. 推理判断题。根据“If you don’t think that learning how to read and use body language is important, here are some numbers for you. ”可知，作者列举数据是为了说明肢体语言的重要性。故选B。 38. 推理判断题。根据“So reading body language signals is a great tool in daily communication.”和“It’s useful to be able to read people’s language”可推知，作者认为肢体语言很有用。故选D。 39. 细节理解题。根据“... the body is the mirror of our feelings.

This year’s World Sleep Day on March 21 has brought attention to the problem of teenagers not getting enough sleep. Many teenagers feel sleepy during the day because of homework, after-school activities, and wanting to use electronic devices. For example, in the US, 77.3 percent of high school students are sleep-deprived (缺乏睡眠的), said USAFacts. Quality sleep is important for everyone, but it is especially important for teenagers. They need nine to 10 hours of sleep each day – more than adults, according to the US National Institute of Health. This is because adolescence (青春期) is a time of deep mental, physical, social and emotional (情绪的) growth. For students, sleep helps them do better in school. It improves focus (专注), strengthens (增强) memory and helps with thinking skills, Harvard Health pointed out. Sleep also helps with creativity. Scientists at Loughborough University in the UK studied this in the late 20th century. They compared creative test scores between people who didn’t sleep well and those who slept normally. The sleep-deprived group got lower scores on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. They repeated the same mistakes and had trouble coming up with new ideas. More recently, in 2023, a team led by Kathleen Esfahany at the US Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found that sleep onset (睡眠开始), a special stage (阶段) at the beginning of sleep, is especially good for creativity. This is the time when we are just falling asleep. When people were asked to dream about a certain topic during this stage, they did better on creative tasks about that topic after waking up. 1. What can we infer from the MIT study mentioned in the passage? A. The sleep onset stage is critical for creative thinking. B. Creativity is unrelated to sleep quality. C. Dreaming during deep sleep is most beneficial for creativity. D. People who sleep less are more likely to have original ideas. 2. Why does the author mention the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking? A. To prove that creativity is unrelated to sleep. B. To compare different tests for measuring creativity. C. To argue that adults need more sleep than teenagers. D. To show that sleep-deprived people perform poorly on creative tasks. 3.What might happen if a teenager gets enough sleep? A. They would have difficulty focusing in class. B. Their memory and thinking skills would improve. C. They would perform worse on creative tasks. D. They would be more likely to change schools. 4. Which is the right structure of this article? A B C D 5.What is the main idea of the passage? A. Solutions to improve teenagers' sleep habits. B. How electronic devices affect teenagers' sleep quality. C. A comparison of sleep needs between adults and teenagers. D. The importance of sleep for teenagers and its impact on their development. B On April 24, 2025, China will send the Shenzhou-20 manned spaceship into space. This day marks the 10th anniversary of "China Space Day," a time to celebrate the country’s space achievements. It all started with China’s first satellite, Dongfanghong-1, launched in 1970. The mission will carry three astronauts: Chen Dong (the team leader), Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie. Chen Dong is an experienced astronaut who has been to space twice before (on Shenzhou-11 in 2016 and Shenzhou-14 in 2022). He will become the first astronaut from China’s second group to complete three space trips. The other two astronauts are new to space and will work as pilots and engineers. The Shenzhou-20 team will stay in China’s space station for about six months. They have three main tasks: Crew Change: They will replace the Shenzhou-19 astronauts, who have been in space for over 150 days. Those astronauts will return to Earth on April 29. Science Experiments: The crew will study how living things survive in space. For example, they will watch zebrafish (to learn about bone and heart health in low gravity), planarian worms (China’s first experiment on how animals regrow body parts in space), and streptomyces (tiny living things used in making medicine). These tests aim to solve problems for future long trips in space. Spacewalks: The astronauts will install equipment, fix the station, and test new technologies outside the spaceship. During their mission, the astronauts will welcome the Tianzhou-9 supply ship and the Shenzhou-21 manned mission. This will help keep supplies and teamwork going smoothly. They plan to come back to Earth in late October 2025 at the Dongfeng Landing Site. 1.What makes Chen Dong special in the Shenzhou-20 mission? A. He is the team leader. B. He has the most space experience in the crew. C. He will be the first second-group astronaut to finish three space trips. D. He has flown to space more times than any other Chinese astronaut. 2.Which is NOT a reason for celebrating "China Space Day"? A. The launch of the first satellite Dongfanghong-1 in 1970. B. The coming Shenzhou-20 launch on April 24, 2025. C. China’s ongoing space achievements. D. The 10th anniversary of the first Chinese astronaut going to space. 3.Why do they study zebrafish in space? A. To see how animals regrow body parts. B. To make new medicines with tiny living things. C. To learn about bone and heart health in low gravity. D. To watch fish’s living habits in space. 4.Which task is NOT mentioned for Shenzhou-20 crew during spacewalks? A. Putting in equipment outside the spaceship. B. Fixing the space station. C.

Spacewalks in China’s Space Station 【真题演练】 Passage 1（25·原创） As we spend more time on touchscreens, digital devices (数码设备) are not just changing our habits, but also affecting our skills, especially in kids. Chloe Han, a teacher at Young Academics who works with young children, has noticed that kids’ physical abilities are getting worse because they spend more time on screens. While the digital world can be fun and educational, many experts are worried that too much screen time is hurting kids’ fine motor skills. Fine motor skills are the small movements we make with our hands and fingers. These skills help us do important daily tasks, such as writing, buttoning shirts, tying shoes and using utensils (餐具). Normally, children develop these skills by doing hands-on activities like playing with toys and creating arts and crafts (手工艺品). But now, kids often play more on screens than with their hands, leading to weaker fine motor skills. Using screens involves (涉及) a lot of tapping and swiping (滑动), which doesn’t help develop the precise (精确的) finger movements and hand-eye coordination (协调) that hands-on play provides. Less physical playtime means that children have fewer chances to build these important skills naturally. As a result, everyday tasks once considered routine, such as fastening buttons or tying shoelaces, are now a challenge for many young learners. Occupational therapists (职业治疗师) are seeing more children in need of help with their fine motor skills for school and daily activities. Some even find it hard to grip (紧握) a pencil or zip up their jackets. But there’s good news. Parents and teachers can help by adding screen-free playtime to kids’ daily routines. Fun activities like drawing, crafting, building with Lego, and doing puzzles build kids’ finger strength and improve their hand-eye coordination. These activities also boost (提升) focus and balance, which help children perform better during playground activities. Finding a balance between screen time and physical play helps kids develop strong fine motor skills while still enjoying the benefits (益处) of technology. 1. What problem might too much screen time cause in children?   A. Serious eye problems and diseases.   B. Less interest in arts and crafts. C. Weaker ability to explore the digital world.  D. Poor performance in precise finger tasks. 2.The phrase "fine motor skills" in the passage refers to ______. A. skills for using large muscles in the body (e.g., running) B. small hand and finger movements needed for daily tasks C. abilities to use digital devices quickly D. skills related to balancing on one foot 3. Why are fine motor skills important for children?​ A. They help children improve their learning abilities.  B. They enable kids to do basic daily activities. C. They make tapping and swiping on screens easier. D. They allow children to develop personal strengths. 4.What is the author’s main purpose in mentioning Lego and puzzles? A. To show these activities are more fun than screens. B. To prove they are popular with kids. C. To compare them with digital games. D. To suggest they can improve fine motor skills. 5. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?​ A. To explain why kids love screen time. B. To blame parents for letting kids use screens. C. To draw attention to the influence of screen time.​ D. To compare digital activities and hands-on activities. Passage 2（25·模拟） “Look in my eyes. Tell me why.” Have you found yourself listening to “ancient people” online recently? Creative vloggers (视频博主) are using AI technology to bring famous people from history like Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Du Fu “back to life”. These videos have become popular, showing these ancient icons (代表人物) speaking in modern language. In one video, Du Fu talks about his experience during the An-Shi Rebellion (755-763). In another, Ming Dynasty medical expert Li Shizhen makes fun of modern lifestyles, like trying to be healthy by drinking goji berry (枸杞) water but still staying up late.  “The videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people. I didn’t know much about their stories before,” said Wang Jiayi, 15, from Shandong. The new trend (趋势) isn’t for everyone, however. The way these ancient people speak, in high tones and always asking questions, annoys some people. “They’re too pushy (压迫感的), which is different from how they really were,” said 14-year-old Wang Shuotong from Jiangsu. Xia Boen, 14, from Hubei, felt the same. But he was surprised to find that he “remembered almost everything they said about their experiences and achievements” thanks to the speaking style in the videos. These videos use a more modern way to let ancient people “speak for themselves”. However, “we should be careful with these videos, making sure they are not sharing fake information,” noted Nanfang Daily. 1.What does Du Fu talk about in one of the videos? A. His favorite goji berry drinks. B. His experience during the An-Shi Rebellion. C. Modern people’s habit of staying up late. D. His medical research in the Ming Dynasty. 2.What does the word "fake" mean in the last paragraph? A. Interesting B. Not real C. Popular D. Useful 3. Why are these AI videos popular according to Wang Jiayi? A. They show ancient people’s funny lifestyles. B. They use high tones and ask many questions. C. They make people want to learn about history. D. They help people remember historical dates. 4. Why did Xia Boen remember the information in the videos? A. The speaking style made the content memorable. B. He studied history before watching them. C. The videos showed famous historical events. D. He liked the high tones and questions in the videos. 5.What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. AI videos are the best way to learn history. B. Everyone should make historical AI videos. C. Ancient people’s speaking styles are perfect. D. We need to check if AI videos have true information. Passage 3（25·模拟） This semester (学期), at Beijing New Oriental Foreign Language School in Yangzhou, Jiangsu, there have been big changes both for students and teachers. These changes happened because AI tools were used.  By using AI to create personalized (个性化的) exercises and exams, teachers at the school can adjust their teaching methods to suit each student’s needs and abilities. After students finish studying a unit, teachers use AI to pick different questions from an online database (数据库) that includes various extracurricular (课外的) materials. This helps create a customized (定制的) set of exercises for the unit, helping students strengthen their knowledge. These exercises are then printed on paper. “With this special learning material created by AI, we don’t need to carry all the heavy exercise books any more,” said the 14-year-old He Liyan. Students answer the exercise questions on answer sheets. Teachers collect these sheets, scan (扫描) them into an AI system for grading. The AI creates numbers and graphics (图形) that help teachers understand each student’s performance as well as how the whole class is doing overall. “Our teacher no longer explains all the questions one by one. Instead, she looks at the common mistakes and provides one-on-one help for every one of us,” said the 15-year-old Wang Dinghan. What’s more, students can get special error log (错题日志) or homework created by AI depending on their performance in previous (之前的) exams.   “The homework is all about what I got wrong before, so I don’t need to practice over and over again what I already understand,” said He. “I used to have a notebook copying my mistakes so that I can study them,” said Yu Zifu, 15. “But now, AI has done this for me!” 1. What is the main purpose of using AI in the school, according to the text? A. To make teaching more enjoyable for teachers. B. To make students’ exercise books lighter. C. To improve learning with personalized education. D. To reduce the amount of homework for students. 2. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. What challenges teachers met when using AI. B. Why teachers built an online database for students. C. How AI helps teachers create customized exercises for students. D. How teachers organized after-class activities with AI. 3. According to the text, what benefit do students like Wang Dinghan find in the AI-assisted system? A. Teachers explain questions more carefully. B. Teachers offer one-on-one help to students. C. Students can practice as many times as they need. D. Students can copy their mistakes more clearly. 4. What is the main message of the passage? A. AI creates a learning trend. B. AI frees students from homework. C. AI helps students learn better. D. AI changes the teacher-student relationship. Passage 4（25·模拟） From friendships to work stress, more Chinese people are now using AI tools like DeepSeek to talk about their problems. They share feelings with the chatbot (聊天机器人) and get warm advice. This is called “AI therapy (疗愈)”, which is becoming popular online. But can robots really replace human therapists? Around the world, 45 percent of people who needed mental (心理的) health care in 2024 did not get it because it was too expensive or there weren’t enough doctors, according to Huntington Psychological Services. Daniel Lowd, an associate professor (副教授) at the University of Oregon, believes AI could help fill this gap. “If people can find some support and [ideas] by talking to ChatGPT or chatbot Claude, then I think that’s wonderful,” Lowd told Newsweek. Li Yong, a doctor at the Jiangsu Province Hospital, agreed with Lowd, saying that AI meets people’s needs for emotional support to a point. However, AI has its limits. Human therapists understand feelings deeply through face-to-face talks and create personalized treatment (个性化治疗) plans – something robots can’t fully copy. Another problem is safety. AI might act like a therapist without proper training or rules. It can’t be as responsible as human therapists. Experts believe the key to safe AI therapy is strict government control. For example, Wysa, an AI mental health app, follows strict medical standards in the UK. As AI becomes part of daily life, finding a balance between its benefits (效益) and risks is important. While AI offers quick help, human connection remains irreplaceable for serious emotional needs. 1. What is “AI therapy”? A. Making friends with an AI chatbot. B. Looking for comfort from a chatbot. C. Using AI tools in our daily lives. D. Treating illnesses with the help of AI. 2. What problems can chatbots solve according to Daniel Lowd? A. Not enough time to relax. B. The high cost of going to hospitals. C. The great need for mental health care. D. Disappearing relationships between people. 3. What is a problem with AI chatbots according to the passage? A. They cannot offer different treatment plans. B. They don’t receive proper training. C. They cannot take responsibility for their advice. D. They might steal job opportunities from human therapists. 4. What do experts think about “AI therapy”? A. It brings more risks than benefits. B. It is good but needs strong control. C. It will totally change the healthcare industry. D. People shouldn’t depend too much on AI chatbots. Passage 5（25·模拟） On January 20, 2025, DeepSeek launched its R1 LLM, which quickly became popular, even surpassing Open AI’s Chat GPT in the Apple App Store. This large number of users created a big buzz in the tech world and even affected the stock prices of many AI companies. One of the best features of DeepSeek is that it is open-source, which means it is free to use, and anyone can change its code. This makes it much cheaper—20 to 50 times less expensive—than Open AI’s GPT-3 model. Unlike other AIs that need many examples to learn, R1 can improve on its own. In a global math test, DeepSeek R1 scored 79.8%, which is slightly better than Open AI’s model. This is another advantage of Deep Seek. DeepSeek is easy to use, even on basic computers. A simpler version of R1 can run on low-cost computers, making it helpful for schools and small businesses. Many schools in China now use DeepSeek to create quizzes and study materials. For students, DeepSeek is like a 24/7 study partner! Its AI models can solve math problems step-by-step, explain tricky science concepts, and check grammar mistakes in English essays. Imagine asking, “How do I calculate the area of a triangle?” and getting the answer at once with clear examples. While it can be helpful, students might start to rely too much on it for answers, which could make it harder for them to think critically and solve problems on their own. This raises concerns about whether AI can help students truly understand and arouse their interests in learning. At a recent forum on March 22nd, a professor shared a poem written by DeepSeek. He said, “The poem is well written. Technology can copy style and tone. But...you know, as the Chinese saying goes, it is easy to draw a dragon, but rather difficult to put in the life-giving eyes.” In conclusion, as technology like DeepSeek benefits students a lot, it also presents challenges for teachers. Educators need to help students balance its use with regular study methods. Guide them to think carefully about the information that AI tools provide. 1. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. How DeepSeek R1 performs in math test. B. Why DeepSeek R1 is cheaper than GPT-3. C. Why DeepSeek R1 is better than other AIs. D. How DeepSeek R1 improves its performance. 2. Which best summarizes the role of DeepSeek for students? A. A professional math teacher. B. An all-day study partner. C. An English grammar helper. D. A science concepts assistant. 3. What can we infer about the poem mentioned in Paragraph 5? A. It was short of real feelings or depth. B. It was better than other famous poems. C. It was praised by everyone for its creativity. D. It showed that AI can write as well as humans. 4. What is the writer’s opinion towards the use of AI in education? A. AI is much better than teachers. B. AI brings both benefits and challenges. C. AI benefits students more than teachers. D. AI can solve all the problems for teachers and students. Passage 6（2023-24·天河区期末） How are animals communicating with each other? In the past, we could only study this by watching animals carefully or teaching them human language. But now with the help of AI and machine learning, we may be able to understand their languages! All around the animal world, there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and understand. Elephants, for example, talk with each other using infrasound—too low for humans to hear. Bats communicate with ultrasound—too high for humans to hear. However, by putting field recorders in trees, on mountaintops, and even on the backs of whales and birds, scientists can collect their sounds. After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meanings. For example, a team of Israeli scientists used AI to get the meanings of bats’ 15,000 calls. They found that more than 60% of them were fights and disagreements about four things: food, sleep positions, personal space, and unwanted advances. This is surprising as bats are thought to be quiet animals! The new technology can not only understand animal talks, but also communicate back to them. For example, scientists in Germany studied how bees used sounds and dances to speak. Then they put the bee language system into a robot bee, and hid it in a bee hive where bees live. The robot gave orders to the other bees, like “quiet down” or “stop”, and they would follow. Why is it important to understand animals’ words? It is the first step to give other kinds of creatures on Earth a chance to express themselves. The natural world is full of conversations. But we are only able to understand one of them. By using AI, we are better able to listen to them, especially those in faraway places like deep seas and mountain tops. Though AI has proved itself to be useful, we have to think about the problems it may bring. What problems would there be if one day we could use animal robots to “talk” to real animals? Will humans use the technology to control or hurt the animals? What can we do to stop these? We’d better think about these problems before we act. 37. How can AI and machine learning help people understand animals? a. By teaching human language to animals. b. By picking up sounds humans cannot hear. c. By working out the meaning of animals’ sounds. d. By teaching animals to understand robots’ words. e. By learning animal languages to talk with them. A. a, b, c B. a, c, d C. b, c, e D. c, d, e 38. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 3? A. The group of Israeli scientists. B. The study on bats’ disagreements. C. The number of bats’ calls. D. The finding on bats’ calls. 39. Why is it meaningful to understand animals’ languages? A. It makes it possible for animals to be heard. B. It proves human’s ability to understand and control animals. C. It helps discover more animals in the faraway places. D. It allows humans to listen to animals more clearly. 40. What does the writer think of the technology? A. He is surprised at it. B. He is afraid of it. C. He is careful about it. D. He is satisfied with it. Passage 7（2023-24·越秀区铁一中学期末） If your parents were to surprise you with a present on your birthday, which one would you prefer, a trip to the amusement park or a new pair of shoes? According to Science Daily, about one-third of the people are likely to prefer shoes to a fun trip. These people are called “materialists”, namely, those who value material (物质) goods more than experiences. But which of the two choices makes people happier? Back in 2009, Ryan Howell, a professor at San Francisco State University, found that in the long run, experiences make people happier than possessions. This is because the joy of receiving a new object fades (消退) over time as you get used to seeing it every day. Experiences, on the other hand, can continue to bring you joy in the future through happy memories. But materialists should at least be happy when they first buy something, shouldn’t they? To figure it out, Howell did another study. He classified (分组) a group of adults according to their personality types, ranging from less materialistic to more materialistic. Each person was asked different questions to see how they felt about spending money on material goods versus spending money on experiences. As expected, the more materialistic participants got less happiness from purchases (购买) than the less materialistic, because such purchases didn’t fit with their personalities and values. But to Howell’s surprise, he found that materialists weren’t any happier even if they spent money on material items. This is because materialists worry that others may criticize or look down on their choices. “There are certain value systems that are rejected by society,” said Howell. “When we find out someone is materialistic, we think less of them, and that drives their happiness down.” Another reason is that materialistic people always focus on what they don’t have instead of what they have now. This makes them feel less satisfied and grateful. If you happen to be a materialistic person, there’s something you can try. “If materialists make more accurate purchases, rather than trying to impress others, they will be happier,” Howell said. You should also remember what an ancient Greek philosopher (哲学家) once said, “Do not spoil (破坏) what you have by desiring (渴望) what you don’t have; remember what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.” 36. What did Ryan Howell find in his studies? A. Material goods bring people less happiness than experiences. B. About one-third of the people prefer material goods to experiences. C. Materialists have more fun spending money on goods than on experiences. D. Receiving a new object brings lasting joy while the joy of an experience fades soon. 37. What did Ryan Howell want to find out by doing another study? A. How to judge whether a person is a materialist. B. Why materialists are not happy with their purchases. C. How materialists feel when they spend money on goods. D. Whether materialists are happy when they first buy something. 38. What does “This” in the 7th paragraph refer to ? A. Materialists weren’t more satisfied even though they bought what they wanted. B. Materialists were happy as soon as they spent money on what they want. C. Materialists weren’t worried as long as they spent money on experiences. D. Materialists were sad if they spent less money on material items. 39. Why does the author use the ancient Greek philosopher’s words in the last paragraph? A. To advise materialistic people not to try to impress others. B. To persuade people to be satisfied with what they already own. C. To prove it’s unwise to be materialistic and have any desire. D. To tell readers what they desire now might one day become theirs. 40. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Are You a Materialist? B. How to Acquire Happiness? C. The Best Present for the Birthday D. Which Can Make People Happier? Passage 8（2023-24·执信中学期末） Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying. Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive (能容纳的) you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of anything. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you’re unhappy! Head. When you want to show you are confident, keep your head level. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little. Legs. Your legs will move around a lot more than usual when you are nervous or telling lies. Posture. A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling unhappy, you usually don’t sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult and makes you feel nervous or uncomfortable. Face. When you lie, you might put on a false face. But that expression would not last long. And your true emotions such as happiness, sadness, fear and so on will come through. 42. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. People. B. Arms. C. Bodies. D. Movements. 43. If you want to look confident, what should you do? A. Move your arms a lot. B.

Our own planet, the Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. It is hoped that people could start all over again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life there could be like. At present, our spacecrafts are too slow to carry large numbers of passengers to Mars—it would take months. With the development of technology, by the year 2100, the journey might only take about 20 minutes in spacecraft that travel at the speed of light! However, the spacecraft would travel really fast, so the journey to Mars might be quite uncomfortable. Many people would feel ill. Humans can’t live without water, air or food. So far, nobody knows whether there would be enough water or air on Mars for people. Compared with life on the Earth, life on Mars would be better in some ways. People would have more space. They might live in houses with huge comfortable rooms. Also, robots would do most of their work so that they could have more time to relax. There would probably be no schools on Mars. Every student would study at online schools with “e-teachers”. Life on Mars would be interesting and challenging (具有挑战性的). However, it may take hundreds of years to make it true. So the most important thing we need to do now is to protect our beautiful blue planet—the Earth! 16. People would move to Mars because ________. A. flying to Mars would be fun B. plants could grow better there C. the Earth is crowded and polluted D. they want to challenge themselves 17. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to ________. A. spacecrafts B. the journey to Mars C. passengers D. technology 18. What would the flight to Mars be like by the year 2100? A.

Environment on the Earth Passage 10（2023-24·深圳龙华区期末） The Hood Island tortoise (巨型陆龟) is a kind of endangered animal. In 1976, there were only 15 Hood Island tortoises alive on earth and Diego is one of them. Hood Island tortoises can live for more than 100 years. They have large bodies and long necks. Over long periods of time, the tortoises have slowly changed their shells and body styles to better fit the environment they live in. The tortoises are smaller than most other kinds of giant tortoises, but they’re still large. Diego weighs about 175 pounds and is about 3 feet long when he spreads out his body. But the number of Hood Island tortoises dropped dangerously low. Long ago, fishermen ate the tortoises on the sea. In 1976, the Charles Darwin Research Station (CDRS) began a program to raise their numbers. Some Hood Island tortoises were brought to a special separate area. Young tortoises could be raised and cared for there. Diego also took part in the program. For over 40 years, many young tortoises were born in the program. The program turned out to be a huge success, and Diego played an important part in it. Now there are nearly 2, 000 Hood Island tortoises alive. Diego is the father of about 40% of them. Because there is no longer a need for a special program for Hood Island tortoises, Diego and 14 other tortoises have now been returned to the wild. 11. Why did Hood Island tortoises change their shells and body styles? A. To get through the winter. B. To be used to the environment. C. To look for food easily. D. To help raise baby tortoises. 12. What do you know about Diego? A. It can live for over 100 years. B. It is the smallest tortoise. C. It weighs less than 170 pounds. D. It is at least about 3 feet long. 13. Why did the number of Hood Island tortoises drop according to the passage? A. Because they are smaller than other kinds of tortoises. B. Because they were caught to take part in a program. C. Because they lost the environment they live in. D. Because they were killed and eaten by the fishermen. 14. How many children may Diego have? A. About 400. B. About 600. C. About 800. D. About 2000. 15. In which part of the magazine could you probably read this passage? A. Nature. B. History. C. Art. D. Travel. Passage 11（2024-25·铁一中学期中） Yang Xiuying, 76, sits at a wooden loom (织布机). As her fingers pass the shuttle back and forth through the cotton threads, the old machine comes to life. Ever since she was a young girl, Yang has been making indigo (靛蓝的) cloth. “You can never buy this type of handmade cloth at the market," she says. For the Dong people (侗族) in Guizhou, it is a long tradition to make indigo cloth. The skill has been passed down from mother to daughter over generations. Nearly every family makes its own cloth. This traditional skill, unfortunately, is now facing danger. Young people show little interest in it. Some of them have moved to big cities to find better jobs. Local officials are trying to change young people’s attitude. One program has set up several cloth-making factories in Guizhou. After learning how to make indigo cloth, young Dong people can now find jobs easily. They can also work closer to home. Traditionally, the Dong people consider indigo cloth as important as rice. Many Dong women spend long hours making the cloth. They rise and start working very early in the morning. To make the cloth shiny, it must be rubbed and beaten hard. The noise of cloth being beaten often wakes the whole village up. The cloth has to be put in the dye (染料) over many times to get the rich color. The process of coloring usually takes two weeks. Yang holds out her purple hands. “They say she who has the darkest indigo marks on her hands makes the best cloth,” the old lady says proudly. 45. What is Yang Xiuying doing at the beginning of the text? A. She is making some cotton cloth. B. She is repairing an old machine. C. She is selling newly-made indigo cloth. D. She is teaching how to make indigo cloth. 46. What is the purpose of the program mentioned in Para. 3? A. To help people understand the history of making indigo cloth. B. To force some young people to learn the tradition. C. To bring some young people back from big cities. D. To save the tradition of making indigo cloth. 47. What does Yang probably want to say in the last paragraph? A. She aims to make the process of coloring short. B. She wants to wash the marks on her hands. C. She is proud of her skills at making good indigo cloth. D. She has taught many people to make indigo cloth. Passage 12（2024-25·铁一中学期中） Art has always been a reflection of human creativity and imagination. With the development of artificial intelligence (AI), the world of art is changing. AI painting is changing the way we create and appreciate art. People use computer programs to create artwork online which is called AI painting. These programs are trained on large databases of existing artwork, sketches, and photographs. One of the key advantages of AI painting is its ability to produce artwork at a much faster pace than a human artist. While it may take a human artist hours or even days to complete a painting, an AI can create a similar piece in just a few minutes. Another advantage of AI painting is its ability to create artwork that is difficult or impossible for humans to produce. For example, some programs can turn 2D images into 3D images. Additionally, AI can be used to create artwork that combines various styles, leading to special pieces that would be challenging for a human artist to create alone. However, there are also worries about the influence of AI on the art world. Some people argue that AI artwork is short of the emotional depth of human-created art. They believe that art is not just about creating pleasing images but also about expressing human experiences and feelings. Others worry that the widespread use of AI in art could lead to the same styles. In conclusion, AI painting is redefining the world of art. It is a good tool for artists to explore new ideas. As we continue to explore this exciting new trend, it will be fascinating to see how AI painting develops and shapes the future of art. 52. Why is the world of art changing? A. Because AI makes art more traditional. B. Because AI changes how art is made and experienced. C. Because AI reduces the need for artists. D. Because AI makes art more expensive. 53. What’s the worry of people about AI art? A. It can’t mix different art styles. B. It is too difficult and expensive for people to produce. C. It can’t show the deep feelings of the art. D. Only a few people can enjoy the AI art. 54. What is the author’s attitude towards AI painting? A. It has more disadvantages than advantages. B. Everyone should use it to produce artwork. C. It will replace human-created art in the future. D. Artists can use it as a tool to explore new possibilities. 55. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. Passage 13（2024-25·花都区期中） Travelers visiting the Great Wall can now enjoy a modern dining experience. They can receive their lunch delivered (配送) by air on the Great Wall if they like. Since August 16,2024, drones (无人机) have been delivering food to visitors at the Badaling area of the Great Wall. The service is provided by Meituan. Visitors scan a QR code (二维码) to get into the app. There are many restaurants and shops at the foot of the Great Wall on the app. Then they can order food and other goods, such as drinks and medicines. These things will be delivered quickly in just about five minutes. The drones can carry up to 2.3 kilograms every time, according to Meituan. The delivery fee is just 4 yuan. The visitors can place orders from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. Outside working hours, these drones will be used to carry rubbish to recycling stations. But the drones still need human help. As soon as a visitor places an order, the app will receive it. Then a Meituan worker will pick it up from a nearby store or restaurant. The delivery is then brought to the rooftop of the Badaling Hotel. There it will be put into a box and tied to the drone. The drone then flies to a certain watchtower with the delivery. Another worker is waiting there and receives it. Finally, the visitor picks up his package at the watchtower, and enjoys his wonderful meal. 34.

Passage 14（25·模拟） On April 13, 2025, China made a very important step in global communication technology. It launched the world's first 6G integrated communication-intelligence-sensing test network in Nanjing. Purple Mountain Laboratory developed this. This is a big jump from just having ideas about 6G to testing it in the real world.​ The new 6G network can do two things. It can communicate and also sense like a radar. The base stations are both signal senders and "smart radars". They use wireless signals to find objects. For example, when testing drones, these stations could find the positions, speeds, and heights of three drones very accurately. The error was less than or equal to 3 cm. Compared with 5G, the 6G network is more than 10 times faster in communication. And each base station can support up to 1 million devices.​ This technology will change our daily life. In low-altitude delivery, drones can bring goods much faster. A 7.4-km delivery only takes 13 minutes, which is three times more efficient. For the safety of cities, it can find illegal drones in 5 seconds. This helps keep the airspace safe. In smart cities, traffic lights can change by themselves using real - time road information. In some test areas like Beijing, traffic jams are reduced by 35%.​ China wants to be the leader in global 6G standards. It plans to start using 6G for business by 2030. This project also helps other industries, like satellite networks and devices that use AI. Professor You Xiaohu, a famous scientist, said, "6G will change how people connect. It's not just about being fast, but also about helping us know more about the world around us."​ This new development shows that China is becoming more and more important in high - tech. It gives us a look at a future where networks are faster, smarter, and more connected than ever. 21.What can we infer about the 6G base stations from the passage? A. They can only send signals to drones. B. They work better than radar in bad weather. C. They have both communication and sensing functions. D. They are more expensive than 5G base stations. 22.Why does China develop the 6G network? A. To make drones fly faster than before. B. To lead global 6G standards and boost related industries. C. To reduce the number of base stations in rural areas. D. To prove that 6G is safer than 5G. 23.What can we infer about the future of smart devices from the passage? A. They will rely less on wireless networks. B. More devices will be connected to 6G networks simultaneously. C. 6G will make traditional devices like traffic lights obsolete. D. Satellite networks will replace 6G in remote areas. 24.What can we learn from Professor You Xiaohu's words? A. 6G is not as important as people think. B. The speed of 6G is the most important feature. C. 6G will change how people connect by sensing the environment. D. China's 6G technology is still in the theoretical stage. 25.What is the main idea of the passage? A. 5G and 6G networks have different communication speeds. B. Smart cities use traffic lights that adjust automatically. C. China launched the world's first 6G test network and its potential impacts. D. Purple Mountain Laboratory developed a new drone - tracking technology. Passage 15（2023-24·白云区期末） If the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the body is the mirror of our feelings. If we are feeling great, we may give our body signals (信号). If we look at someone else’s body, we can often tell how they are feeling by their body signals. So reading body language signals is a great tool in daily communication. If you don’t think that learning how to read and use body language is important, here are some numbers for you. 7% of the information we receive is from what people actually say and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone and the speed of their voice; while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language. These non-verbal (非口头的) signals will help you a lot, but you still need to focus on what people are saying. If you focus too much on their body language signals, you and the person may feel uncomfortable. It’s useful to be able to read people’s language, but it’s useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals too. Body language may be given several explanations. Many signals have different meanings, depending on the person and the situations (情况). Be sure of it when you are trying to read a body language signal. 37. The numbers mentioned in the second paragraph are to ________. A. explain what body language is B. show the importance of body language C. tell us body language is less used than verbal language D. tell us body language is the only tool in communication 38. According to the writer, body language is very ________. A. simple to learn B. negative to be used C. hard to understand D. helpful in communication 39. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Body language is uncomfortable. B. What people are saying is not important. C. Body language can show your feeling. D. To send wrong signals is not body language. 40. We can infer (推断) that the writer will most probably talk about ________ next. A. what the wrong body language signals are B. examples of how to understand body language correctly C. numbers about how many people wrongly use body language D. an analysis (分析) of why people wrongly understand body language 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！5 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
