三、阅读理解（共两节，20小题; 每小题2分，满分40分）

第一节（共16小题；每小题2分，满分32分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

 

 

A

①Artificial intelligence (AI) is part of our everyday life. Ask a chatbot (聊天机器人), such as Deepseek a question, and it will give you answers quickly. Some teachers worry that chatbots could stop students from learning on their own. Should students use AI to do their schoolwork? Here are some students’ different answers.

②AI could change the ways students learn. Computer programmers will make chatbots just guide students through questions, not giving them real answers. Chatbots can also help teachers make lesson plans. —Peter, 13, Chengdu

③AI chatbots can provide immediate feedback (即时反馈). It can save time when looking for information. So I think the best way is to show them how to use chatbots properly, rather than just banning (禁止) it or seeing it as an easy way to copy homework. —John, 14, Yinchuan

④Technology can be a useful tool. But kids need to learn to do basic tasks on their own. This is why kids learn how to do math and schools teach handwriting and spelling. It will be bad for children if they use AI before they master the building blocks (构成要素) of an education. —Helen, 14, Boston

Do you speak a dialect (方言) in daily life? While many Chinese people speak Putonghua, some local dialects are in danger of disappearing. To save them, Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources (资源) Protection Project a few years ago. This project studies how people talk in 1,712 places. It helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s also an online library where people can learn dialects. It covers over 5 million videos and other audio pieces.

Why is it important to protect dialects? Harold Palmer, a world expert on language, says that dialects are not only a tool for communication, but also a key to store local cultures. What’s more, they show the history of an area.

Expert Zhang Hongming talked about his worries of the endangered dialects. “For over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might die out.”

So how did China build this big library? A big national hard work has been put into the project to make it happen. Over five years, more than 350 universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers. Common people helped too. Some volunteers shared interesting stories and cultures of dialects, while others taught dialect lessons online. Some digital (数字化的) tools like apps and mobile dictionaries were also used to help people learn dialects.

(    )30. Why did the Chinese government start the project?

A. To public the dialects. B. To save the dialects.

C. To copy the dialects. D. To learn the dialects.

(    ) 31. What does the underlined word “It” refer to?

A. The dialect.   B. The online library.   C. The project.  D. The Chinese government.

(    )32. According to Harold Palmer, why should we protect dialects?

①Dialects are a tool for communication.

②Dialects help to store local cultures.

③Dialects show the history of the place.

④Dialects help the development of an area.

A. ①②③   B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④

(    )33. The main purpose of the text is to _________.

A. explain why dialects are endangered    B. show the present situation of dialects

C. teach people how to speak dialects   D. introduce a dialect-saving project

    Maria is a 30-year-old teacher from Spain. She is really interested in traditional Chinese art like paper-cutting, Beijing opera and so on. But she likes Chinese calligraphy（书法） best and has fallen in love with it for many years.

In recent years, Chinese calligraphy has become popular among Maria’s students through social media, movies and museums. After noticing that, she added cultural background into her teaching. Now, she not only teaches how to write Chinese characters (文字) but also explains the history and meaning behind them. “Calligraphy is like a bridge that connects me to Chinese culture.” Maria says.

Maria’s interest in Chinese calligraphy began when she was 15. She was surprised by the beauty of Chinese characters in a museum. Later, she decided to study Chinese language and culture at university. Now, Maria has been teaching calligraphy for more than 8 years.
    Mara visited China for the first time during her university years. Before her trip, she had only seen Chinese calligraphy in books, but it was totally different to see it in person. She was deeply impressed by the history and culture she experienced. During her visit, Maria also tried traditional Chinese tea and learned about its cultural value.
    “China is a great country with both wonderful ancient history and modern developments.” she said. “I hope to continue learning more about China and sharing its culture with people in my country.”

(    ) 34. What is Maria’s favourite traditional Chinese art ?
