Between December and February, this surfing destination is suitable only for experienced surfers, as its big waves can reach 30 feet. In summer, the ocean can be almost completely flat, making it perfect for swimming. Huntington Beach, California: Famous for the US Open of Surfing competition This busy 8.5-mile-long beach attracts 8 million visitors a year for bodysurfing, boogie boarding （趴板冲浪）, and board surfing at every level, beginner to expert. At night, the beach’s fire pits （深坑） draw families as much as the waves do during the day. The best time for surfers is winter, when the swells can hit 15 feet. Jeffreys Bay, South Africa: Famous for being the setting of the classic movie The Endless Summer This area of the ocean may contain the most consistent waves on the planet, with some up to 10 feet. The best waves are between late May and late August. The beach sometimes closes because of sharks, but at other times, surfers are lucky enough to surf alongside dolphins. Tamarindo, Costa Rica: Famous for being featured in the movie The Endless Summer Ⅱ This beach has waves up to 12 feet high, which are good for long-boarders or short-boarders, beginners or experts, with the best waves from April to July. Bodysurfing is not recommended because of offshore rocks. The laid-back atmosphere and nearly perfect year-round weather make it feel like the California beaches of the 1950s. 36. The beach with the biggest waves is ______. A. Oahu’s North Shore B. Huntington Beach C. Jeffreys Bay D. Tamarindo 37. Jeffreys Bay and Tamarindo are both known for ______. A. offshore rocks B. competitions C. movies D. dolphins 38. How are North Shore and Huntington Beach similar? A. Both beaches are the same length. B. Both are suitable for all surfing levels. C. The waves are both perfect for bodysurfing. D. Winter is the best time to surf at both beaches. 39. What does the underlined word “laid-back” mean in English? A. Worried. B. Relaxed. C. Excited. D. Depressed. 40. The Huntington Beach information differs from the others in that it includes ______. A. the height of the wave B. the weather conditions C. the best time to visit D. the number of visitors each year B On a cold morning in May, I received a fascinating email from a high school friend. inviting me to a 10-day all-female surfing adventure in Portugal. The offer was irresistible, and I instantly knew my answer was yes. The trip seemed simple enough. Ten women, ranging from 30 to 45 years old, all strangers, will gather on the Portuguese coast to embrace the challenge of surfing the Atlantic waves. As a travel enthusiast, I quickly sought permission from my boss for this once-in-a- lifetime journey. Through my 33 years, I’ve observed a common adult tendency: we often limit ourselves to refining skills we already possess. There’s a certain pride in improving our expertise, becoming increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally, this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to neglecting other areas of potential growth. Two days later, I arrived in Ericeira, a charming surf town, where I met my surfing group. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a persistent desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle and grow. The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to navigate (驾驭). Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked. Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on. While surfing might not be my calling, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life, to step outside of my comfort zone and to never stop believing in myself. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try. 41. What motivated the author to join the surf trip to Portugal? A. The opportunity to improve existing skills. B The need to reconnect with a high school friend. C. The chance to undertake work duties in Portugal. D. The desire to embrace a challenge and learn a new skill. 42. What is the author’s view on adults focusing on mastering one field? A. It narrows one’s abilities. B. It is essential for career success. C. It disrupts one’s work-life balance. D. It develops creativity and exploration. 43. Which of the following words best describe the author’s surfing experience? A. Tough but rewarding. B. Boring and uneventful. C. Difficult and frustrating. D. Relaxing but unpredictable. 44. What can be inferred about the author? A. She used to lack confidence in herself. B. She became more willing to take risks. C. She went on to become an expert surfer. D. She discovered the surfing was her true calling. 45. What wisdom did the author gain from the experience with surfing? A. The value of pushing your limits and trying new things. B. The need to seek professional training in all new skills. C. The benefit of traveling with unknown companions. D. The importance of being an expert in one field. C Is it possible to make machines think like humans? This is one question in research in the field of Artificial Intelligence, or “AI” To think like a human, it involves feelings, morality, hopes, and dreams. Humans are capable of making decisions by themselves without input from others, and they can learn from experience. In addition, humans are able to create things from their own inspiration for their own pleasure. The question is whether machines can ever really think in all these aspects. The idea of a computer that is all-powerful and can think and make decisions for itself terrifies many people. In some films, AI even decides that all humans must be killed. Many people are also concerned that AI will be used to replace humans. Yet others are comforted by the thought of AI. Maybe with AI. robots can be made to replace loved ones who have died. Today, the creation of an all-powerful computer capable of human thought is still in progress. We have companion (陪伴) robots, and it is likely that they will grow more important in our lives as time goes by. However, the need for such robots does not seem to be as critical as our need for intelligent machines that can solve problems by learning from their observations and experience. For example, AI is already being used with great success in Internet search engines and as a personal assistant in our smartphones. It learns from our habits to help us find what we want and like. AI is also used to diagnose (诊断) problems and suggest solutions. Researchers are also experimenting with the use of AI in driverless cars which can sense their surroundings and decide on the best way to reach a destination. It is also being used in education, particularly in online courses. Furthermore, industries that use robots for repetitive or dangerous work often turn to AI to manage these electronic workers. In addition, virtual assistants are also being used in some homes today. In the near future, it is likely that AI will be used to manage smart homes and handle an even greater variety of tasks such as setting out favourite clothes and helping us with our personal grooming (梳妆). The AI of today has already proven its superiority to humans in many areas. Do you think that we can create a robot that thinks like a human or one that is even more intelligent? If so, is there truly a difference between AI and a human? 46. What can we learn from Paragraphs 1 and 2? A. We already have all-powerful computers with the power of human thought. B. One day the AI will decide on its own to wipe out humans. C. Robots with AI have the potential to replace our loved ones. D. In contrast, humans need artificial intelligence machines to help us solve problems rather than companion robots. 47. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. AI will eventually be used to manage workers. B. AI is often used to manage robots on production lines. C. Industrial robots are completely different from electronic workers. D. Industrial robots often turn to AI. 48. What could be inferred from Paragraph 3 about AI? A. Smartphones already have AI technology. B. AI technology for driverless cars is already mature. C. AI has been being used to mange smart homes. D. Artificial intelligence has proved its superiority over humanity in all fields. 49. What is the author’s attitude towards AI? A. Short-sighted. B. Wait-and-see. C. Optimistic. D. Skeptical. 50. What makes the best title for the passage? A. AI Thinks Like Humans B. AI Robots C. AI and Human Beings D. The Future of AI D A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics, and wars. But art history focuses on much more than these because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors — or of people very different from us — can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than what can be found in most history books. In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly political artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May,1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozeo, and David Alfaro Siqueiros — as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinez-showed these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems. In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was and still is its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic (伊斯兰教的) belief that statues are unholy (不神圣的，亵渎神明的). 51. Which of the following sentences is WRONG according to the passage? A. Art history concentrates on religious beliefs, emotions and psychology only. B. Art can provide information about the everyday activities of ancient people. C. Information and facts about politics are given objectively in history. D. Franciso Gova was perhaps the first truly political artist. 52. History books are objective because ______. A. it will make the viewers angry and sad about history B. personal and emotional opinions are expressed through it C. it can help us understand historical facts better D. opinions about facts are not expressed 53. The two pictures The Third of May,1808 and Guernica mentioned in paragraph 2 show that ______. A. art is subjective B. artists are very similar even over a hundred years C. history books present objective information D. art can reflect political life of a country 54. In paragraph 2, the underlined part “another continent” refers to ______. A. Europe B. America C. Mexico D. Middle East 55. The passage is mainly discussing ______. A. the difference between general history and art history B. the development of art history C. the influence of artists on art history D. what we can learn from art history 第Ⅱ卷(共35分) 五、阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读表达 Growing up in Saudi Arabia, 44-year-old photographer Jody MacDonald has always had a strong interest in the desert. “I have always wanted to spend some time in the Sahara,” MacDonald said. “There are still so many unexplored areas in the Sahara Desert. These relatively unexplored places are so rare these days and hold the very fundamentals of exploration, which attract me. So finally I made the journey.” MacDonald started her journey in Mauritania’s capital city Nouakchott, and headed inland where she and her team jumped on the world’s longest cargo train (货运列车) for a 435-mile journey on the Mauritania Railway. “The train was dirty and uncomfortable but it was such an interesting and unique way to travel through the vast desert by train,” said MacDonald. MacDonald and her group had to face many challenges on their journey. Except for the dirt and discomfort, the travelers also had to deal with the intense heat, violent winds and even dangerous sandstorms. “I was out taking photographs and within minutes, the wind increased to more than 100 miles an hour,” MacDonald said. “I thought my skin was going to be torn off because of the rain and blowing sand. It felt like sandpaper on my skin. I have never experienced winds that strong before. There was once a time when I wanted to give up.” She dealt with the harsh conditions by trying not to travel in the middle of the day and wore headscarves to protect herself from the sun and blowing sand. “The weather definitely dictates when and where you travel,” said MacDonald. Even with all the challenges, the photographer managed to record amazing images of the beautiful but harsh landscapes of Mauritania, and its fascinating cultures and communities. 56 What made MacDonald decide to tour the Sahara? (no more than 15 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 57. How did MacDonald find her journey on the cargo train? (no more than 15 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 58. Why did MacDonald once decide to give up her journey? (no more than 8 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 59. What does the underlined word “dictates” in the last paragraph mean?

A. being surrounded B. surrounded C. surrounding D. to surround 【答案】C 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】考查现在分词。句意：当他看到河面上的薄雾和山顶上的云雾时，他流下眼泪。分析句子可知，“the soft clouds the mountain tops”和前文“the mists rising from the river”并列，作谓语saw的复合宾语，动词surround和宾语the soft clouds之间是主动关系，see sb doing sth，是动词习惯用法，现在分词作宾补，表示动作在进行，未完成，所以此处应用surrounding和前文rising一样都作宾语补足语。故选C项。 8.

A. intellectual B. identical C. fashionable D. consistent 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这所大学以吸引热爱理论研究和批判性思维的智力型学生而闻名。A. intellectual智力的；B. identical完全相同的；C. fashionable时尚的；D. consistent一致的，持续的。根据“who are passionate about theoretical research and critical thinking”可知，intellectual“智力的”符合题意，最能准确概括这类热爱理论研究和批判性思维的学生的特质。故选A。 11. — What about inviting Tracy to host the party? — Good idea!

A. Releasing B. Being released C. Released D. Having released 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：《哪吒》在春节上映后，很快大获成功。空处需填非谓语动词作状语，Nazha 和release为逻辑动宾关系，且动作已经发生，需用过去分词形式作时间状语。故选C。 13. The first part of his speech caught my attention, but the rest ________ rather dull. A. was B. are C. is D. were 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查时态。句意：演讲的第一部分吸引我，但是剩下的部分相当乏味。A. was be动词单数过去式；B. are be动词复数一般现在时形式；C. is be动词单数一般现在时形式；D. were be动词复数过去式。根据主句“The first part of his speech caught my attention”可知，句中使用一般过去时时态，but表示转折关系，从句也应用一般过去时。主语his speech是单数，从句中the rest是指his speech余下的部分，所以be动词需要用过去时的单数形式。故选A项。 14.

Between December and February, this surfing destination is suitable only for experienced surfers, as its big waves can reach 30 feet. In summer, the ocean can be almost completely flat, making it perfect for swimming. Huntington Beach, California: Famous for the US Open of Surfing competition This busy 8.5-mile-long beach attracts 8 million visitors a year for bodysurfing, boogie boarding （趴板冲浪）, and board surfing at every level, beginner to expert. At night, the beach’s fire pits （深坑） draw families as much as the waves do during the day. The best time for surfers is winter, when the swells can hit 15 feet. Jeffreys Bay, South Africa: Famous for being the setting of the classic movie The Endless Summer This area of the ocean may contain the most consistent waves on the planet, with some up to 10 feet. The best waves are between late May and late August. The beach sometimes closes because of sharks, but at other times, surfers are lucky enough to surf alongside dolphins. Tamarindo, Costa Rica: Famous for being featured in the movie The Endless Summer Ⅱ This beach has waves up to 12 feet high, which are good for long-boarders or short-boarders, beginners or experts, with the best waves from April to July. Bodysurfing is not recommended because of offshore rocks. The laid-back atmosphere and nearly perfect year-round weather make it feel like the California beaches of the 1950s. 36. The beach with the biggest waves is ______. A. Oahu’s North Shore B. Huntington Beach C. Jeffreys Bay D. Tamarindo 37. Jeffreys Bay and Tamarindo are both known for ______. A. offshore rocks B. competitions C. movies D. dolphins 38. How are North Shore and Huntington Beach similar? A. Both beaches are the same length. B. Both are suitable for all surfing levels. C. The waves are both perfect for bodysurfing. D. Winter is the best time to surf at both beaches. 39. What does the underlined word “laid-back” mean in English? A. Worried. B. Relaxed. C. Excited. D. Depressed. 40. The Huntington Beach information differs from the others in that it includes ______. A. the height of the wave B. the weather conditions C. the best time to visit D. the number of visitors each year 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. D 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【分析】本文为应用文。文章主要介绍了几个著名的能冲浪的海滩。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一部分中的“North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii：Famous for being the birthplace of surfing”和“Between December and February, this surfing destination is suitable only for experienced surfers, as its big waves can reach 30 feet. ”可知，夏威夷瓦胡岛北岸以冲浪的发源地而闻名，它的巨浪可以达到30英尺，因此A符合题意，故选A。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据Jeffreys Bay部分中的“Jeffreys Bay, South Africa: Famous for being the setting of the classic movie The Endless Summer”以及“Tamarindo”部分中的Tamarindo, Costa Rica: Famous for being featured in the movie The Endless Summer Ⅱ。可知，这两个地方以电影而出名。故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据North Shore 中的“North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii: Famous for being the birthplace of surfing... December and February, this surfing destination is suitable only for experienced surfers” 以及Huntington Beach部分中的“The best time for surfers is winter, when the swells can hit 15 feet.”可知，这两处的相似之处为冬天是冲浪最佳的时间，故选D。 【39题详解】 猜测词义题。划线上文内容“这个海滩有高达12英尺的海浪，适合长板或短板，初学者或专家”可知，这个海滩适合多种冲浪形式。再根据“The laid-back atmosphere and nearly perfect year-round weather make it feel like the California beaches of the 1950s.”划线词后的连词and可知，The laid-back atmosphere 与 nearly perfect year-round weather（近乎完美的全年天气）。分析选项A. Worried担心的； B. Relaxed放松的，自在的；C. Excited激动的； D. Depressed沮丧的。可知，完美天气会让人感到 “自在的，放松的（relaxed）”，故选B。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，以浪高出名的是“Oahu’s North Shore”，“天气好”的是“Tamarindo, Costa Rica”。根据Huntington Beach中的“This busy 8.5-mile-long beach attracts 8 million visitors a year for bodysurfing, boogie boarding, and board surfing at every level, beginner to expert”可知， 这个繁忙的8.5英里长的海滩每年吸引800万游客来这里冲浪。由此得出这儿是因为游客比其他的海滩多，分析选项可知D项符合题意。 【点睛】新闻广告类材料是高考的热门考题。其文句简练，信息量大，句式使用简单，表达方式多样，但阅读这类题目也是有规律可循的。 此类文章主要考查学生提取信息和处理信息的能力。既注重特定细节的筛选、类比、综合，双注重推理判断题的考查。题目设置相对较易。答题时没有必要弄清每一句话，只要重点理解和题目有关的信息就可以了。做这类题时没有必要阅读全文。宜采用“倒序法”来处理。即先看问题，后看文章内容，略读问题和选项，带问题阅读。这样在阅读中有重点，有针对性地读，冗余无效的信息可略读甚至是不读。如第2小题，首先读题目“2. Jeffreys Bay and Tamarindo are both known for ______”，然后有针对性地阅读Jeffreys Bay 和 Tamarindo部分，找出相同点即可。根据Jeffreys Bay部分中的“Jeffreys Bay, South Africa: Famous for being the setting of the classic movie The Endless Summer”以及“Tamarindo”部分中的Tamarindo, Costa Rica: Famous for being featured in the movie The Endless Summer Ⅱ。可知，这两个地方以电影而出名。故选C。 B On a cold morning in May, I received a fascinating email from a high school friend. inviting me to a 10-day all-female surfing adventure in Portugal. The offer was irresistible, and I instantly knew my answer was yes. The trip seemed simple enough. Ten women, ranging from 30 to 45 years old, all strangers, will gather on the Portuguese coast to embrace the challenge of surfing the Atlantic waves. As a travel enthusiast, I quickly sought permission from my boss for this once-in-a- lifetime journey. Through my 33 years, I’ve observed a common adult tendency: we often limit ourselves to refining skills we already possess. There’s a certain pride in improving our expertise, becoming increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally, this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to neglecting other areas of potential growth. Two days later, I arrived in Ericeira, a charming surf town, where I met my surfing group. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a persistent desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle and grow. The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to navigate (驾驭). Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked. Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on. While surfing might not be my calling, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life, to step outside of my comfort zone and to never stop believing in myself. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try. 41. What motivated the author to join the surf trip to Portugal? A. The opportunity to improve existing skills. B. The need to reconnect with a high school friend. C. The chance to undertake work duties in Portugal. D. The desire to embrace a challenge and learn a new skill. 42. What is the author’s view on adults focusing on mastering one field? A. It narrows one’s abilities. B. It is essential for career success. C. It disrupts one’s work-life balance. D. It develops creativity and exploration. 43 Which of the following words best describe the author’s surfing experience? A. Tough but rewarding. B. Boring and uneventful. C. Difficult and frustrating. D. Relaxing but unpredictable. 44. What can be inferred about the author? A. She used to lack confidence in herself. B. She became more willing to take risks. C. She went on to become an expert surfer. D. She discovered the surfing was her true calling. 45. What wisdom did the author gain from the experience with surfing? A. The value of pushing your limits and trying new things. B. The need to seek professional training in all new skills. C. The benefit of traveling with unknown companions. D. The importance of being an expert in one field. 【答案】41. D 42. A 43. A 44. B 45. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过葡萄牙的冲浪之旅，感悟到了突破极限和尝试新事物的价值。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Ten women, ranging from 30 to 45 years old, all strangers, will gather on the Portuguese coast to embrace the challenge of surfing the Atlantic waves.(十位年龄从30岁到45岁不等的陌生女性将聚集在葡萄牙海岸，迎接在大西洋海浪中冲浪的挑战。)”和文章倒数第二段“Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new(学习一项新技能教会了我在新事物上做得不好时的谦卑)”可知，接受挑战和学习新技能的愿望促使作者加入了葡萄牙的冲浪之旅。故选D。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“There’s a certain pride in improving our expertise, becoming increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally, this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to neglecting other areas of potential growth.(提高我们的专业知识，在我们选择的领域变得越来越有知识，这是一种自豪感，但无意中，这种关注往往使其他技能得不到发展，导致忽视其他潜在的增长领域。)”可知，作者对成年人专注于掌握一个领域的看法是，这缩小了一个人的能力。故选A。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第七段“Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air.(在我们出色的教练的带领下，我们一起面对海浪。有时，下着大雨，海浪在我们周围拍打，但我们仍然在那里。每一次滑倒，空气中都充满了鼓励的话语。)”和文章第八段“Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked.(说实话，我可能大部分时间都冻得骨头都僵了，但这并不重要，因为真正的快乐和个人成就的新水平已经被解锁了。)”可知，作者的冲浪经历很艰难，但很值得。故选A。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While surfing might not be my calling, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life, to step outside of my comfort zone and to never stop believing in myself.(虽然冲浪可能不是我的使命，但尝试它激励我在生活中承担更多的风险，走出我的舒适区，永远不要停止相信自己。)”可推知，她变得更愿意冒险了。故选B。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on.(学习一项新技能教会了我在新事物上做得不好时的谦卑，以及当你最终掌握了你一直在做的事情时产生的自豪感。)”和文章最后一段“You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try.(如果你不去尝试，你永远不知道你能做什么。)”可推知，作者从冲浪经历中获得的智慧是突破极限和尝试新事物的价值。故选A。 C Is it possible to make machines think like humans? This is one question in research in the field of Artificial Intelligence, or “AI” To think like a human, it involves feelings, morality, hopes, and dreams. Humans are capable of making decisions by themselves without input from others, and they can learn from experience. In addition, humans are able to create things from their own inspiration for their own pleasure. The question is whether machines can ever really think in all these aspects. The idea of a computer that is all-powerful and can think and make decisions for itself terrifies many people. In some films, AI even decides that all humans must be killed. Many people are also concerned that AI will be used to replace humans. Yet others are comforted by the thought of AI. Maybe with AI. robots can be made to replace loved ones who have died. Today, the creation of an all-powerful computer capable of human thought is still in progress. We have companion (陪伴) robots, and it is likely that they will grow more important in our lives as time goes by. However, the need for such robots does not seem to be as critical as our need for intelligent machines that can solve problems by learning from their observations and experience. For example, AI is already being used with great success in Internet search engines and as a personal assistant in our smartphones. It learns from our habits to help us find what we want and like. AI is also used to diagnose (诊断) problems and suggest solutions. Researchers are also experimenting with the use of AI in driverless cars which can sense their surroundings and decide on the best way to reach a destination. It is also being used in education, particularly in online courses. Furthermore, industries that use robots for repetitive or dangerous work often turn to AI to manage these electronic workers. In addition, virtual assistants are also being used in some homes today. In the near future, it is likely that AI will be used to manage smart homes and handle an even greater variety of tasks such as setting out favourite clothes and helping us with our personal grooming (梳妆). The AI of today has already proven its superiority to humans in many areas. Do you think that we can create a robot that thinks like a human or one that is even more intelligent? If so, is there truly a difference between AI and a human? 46. What can we learn from Paragraphs 1 and 2? A. We already have all-powerful computers with the power of human thought. B. One day the AI will decide on its own to wipe out humans. C. Robots with AI have the potential to replace our loved ones. D. In contrast, humans need artificial intelligence machines to help us solve problems rather than companion robots. 47. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. AI will eventually be used to manage workers. B. AI is often used to manage robots on production lines. C. Industrial robots are completely different from electronic workers. D Industrial robots often turn to AI. 48. What could be inferred from Paragraph 3 about AI? A. Smartphones already have AI technology. B. AI technology for driverless cars is already mature. C. AI has been being used to mange smart homes. D. Artificial intelligence has proved its superiority over humanity in all fields. 49. What is the author’s attitude towards AI? A. Short-sighted. B. Wait-and-see. C. Optimistic. D. Skeptical. 50. What makes the best title for the passage? A. AI Thinks Like Humans B. AI Robots C. AI and Human Beings D. The Future of AI 【答案】46. D 47. B 48. A 49. C 50. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了人工智能与人类之间的关系。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Yet others are comforted by the thought of AI. Maybe with AI. robots can be made to replace loved ones who have died. Today, the creation of an all-powerful computer capable of human thought is still in progress. We have companion (陪伴) robots, and it is likely that they will grow more important in our lives as time goes by. However, the need for such robots does not seem to be as critical as our need for intelligent machines that can solve problems by learning from their observations and experience. (然而，另一些人对人工智能的想法感到欣慰。也许是人工智能。机器人可以用来代替死去的亲人。今天，制造一台能理解人类思想的全能计算机仍在进行中。我们有伴侣机器人，随着时间的推移，它们很可能会在我们的生活中变得越来越重要。然而，对这种机器人的需求似乎没有我们对智能机器的需求那么重要，智能机器可以通过观察和经验来解决问题。)”可知，相比之下，人类更需要人工智能机器来帮助我们解决问题，而不是陪伴机器人。故选D。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第三段中“industries that use robots for repetitive or dangerous work often turn to AI to manage these electronic workers.”可知，这是一个主从复合句，主句是industries often turn to AI to manage these electronic workers“工业通常转向人工智能来管理这些电子工人”，定语从句是that use robots for repetitive or dangerous work“使用机器人进行重复或危险的工作的”。结合选项：A. AI will eventually be used to manage workers人工智能最终将用于管理工人；B. AI is often used to manage robots on production lines人工智能通常用于管理生产线上的机器人；C. Industrial robots are completely different from electronic workers工业机器人与电子工人完全不同；D.Industrial robots often turn to AI工业机器人经常转向人工智能，可知B选项与划线句意思相近。故选B。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“For example, AI is already being used with great success in Internet search engines and as a personal assistant in our smartphones. It learns from our habits to help us find what we want and like.

Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics, and wars. But art history focuses on much more than these because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors — or of people very different from us — can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than what can be found in most history books. In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly political artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May,1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozeo, and David Alfaro Siqueiros — as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinez-showed these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems. In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was and still is its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic (伊斯兰教的) belief that statues are unholy (不神圣的，亵渎神明的). 51. Which of the following sentences is WRONG according to the passage? A. Art history concentrates on religious beliefs, emotions and psychology only. B. Art can provide information about the everyday activities of ancient people. C. Information and facts about politics are given objectively in history. D. Franciso Gova was perhaps the first truly political artist. 52. History books are objective because ______. A. it will make the viewers angry and sad about history B. personal and emotional opinions are expressed through it C. it can help us understand historical facts better D. opinions about facts are not expressed 53. The two pictures The Third of May,1808 and Guernica mentioned in paragraph 2 show that ______. A. art is subjective B artists are very similar even over a hundred years C. history books present objective information D. art can reflect political life of a country 54. In paragraph 2, the underlined part “another continent” refers to ______. A. Europe B. America C. Mexico D. Middle East 55. The passage is mainly discussing ______. A. the difference between general history and art history B. the development of art history C. the influence of artists on art history D. what we can learn from art history 【答案】51. A 52. D 53. A 54. B 55. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了解艺术史比上历史课能更好的了解一种文化，因为艺术作品中倾注了创作人的思想情感，可以更好地反映某个特定时期的历史以及某个特定地域的文化。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But art history focuses on much more than these because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology.(但艺术史关注的远不止这些，因为艺术不仅反映了一个民族的政治价值观，而且还反映了宗教信仰、情感和心理)”可知，艺术史既反映了一个民族的政治价值观，也反映了宗教信仰、情感和心理。由此可知，“艺术史只关注宗教信仰、情感和心理”表述错误。故选A项。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed.(在历史书中，关于一个国家政治生活的客观信息被呈现出来：也就是说，给出了政治事实，但是观点没有被表达出来)”可知，历史书只呈现客观历史事件，不会表达感情。故选D项。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions.(另一方面，艺术是主观的：它反映情感和观点)”可知，艺术是主观的。然后作者用一些例子来支持自己的观点，包括The Third of May, 1808和Guernica这两个作品。由此推知，作者举这两个例子，就是为了证明艺术是主观的。故选A项。 【54题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clements Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros ― as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinez ― showed these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems.(与此同时，在另一个大陆上，Diego Rivera, Jose Clements Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros他们这些大师的作品，以及Alfredo Ramos Martinez的作品，展示了这些墨西哥艺术家对社会问题的深深愤怒和悲伤)”可知，这些墨西哥艺术家指就是来自于another continent的艺术家们。由此可知，another continent指的是美洲。故选B项。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general classes.(学习艺术史可能是了解一种文化的好方法，比在一般课堂上学到的要多)”可知，文章开篇点名主题，所以本文主要讲述了我们可以从艺术中学到什么。故选D项。 第Ⅱ卷(共35分) 五、阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读表达 Growing up in Saudi Arabia, 44-year-old photographer Jody MacDonald has always had a strong interest in the desert. “I have always wanted to spend some time in the Sahara,” MacDonald said. “There are still so many unexplored areas in the Sahara Desert. These relatively unexplored places are so rare these days and hold the very fundamentals of exploration, which attract me. So finally I made the journey.” MacDonald started her journey in Mauritania’s capital city Nouakchott, and headed inland where she and her team jumped on the world’s longest cargo train (货运列车) for a 435-mile journey on the Mauritania Railway. “The train was dirty and uncomfortable but it was such an interesting and unique way to travel through the vast desert by train,” said MacDonald. MacDonald and her group had to face many challenges on their journey. Except for the dirt and discomfort, the travelers also had to deal with the intense heat, violent winds and even dangerous sandstorms. “I was out taking photographs and within minutes, the wind increased to more than 100 miles an hour,” MacDonald said. “I thought my skin was going to be torn off because of the rain and blowing sand. It felt like sandpaper on my skin. I have never experienced winds that strong before. There was once a time when I wanted to give up.” She dealt with the harsh conditions by trying not to travel in the middle of the day and wore headscarves to protect herself from the sun and blowing sand. “The weather definitely dictates when and where you travel,” said MacDonald. Even with all the challenges, the photographer managed to record amazing images of the beautiful but harsh landscapes of Mauritania, and its fascinating cultures and communities. 56.

How does MacDonald’s story inspire you? Please explain in your own words. (no more than 20words) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. Many unexplored places in the Sahara Desert. 57. She found it dirty and uncomfortable but interesting and unique. 58. Because the weather conditions were harsh. 59. Decide/Determine. 60. MacDonald’s spirit of bravely overcoming difficulties inspires me. I will face the difficulties in life and manage to overcome them. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了摄影师Jody MacDonald因撒哈拉沙漠尚未被探索的魅力踏上旅程，忍受恶劣条件，坚持拍摄的经历。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中MacDonald所说的话“There are still so many unexplored areas in the Sahara Desert. These relatively unexplored places are so rare these days and hold the very fundamentals of exploration, which attract me. So finally I made the journey. (撒哈拉沙漠仍有众多未探索之地。如今这样人迹罕至的区域已十分罕见，却恰恰保留了探险最本真的魅力，这正是吸引我的地方。于是我最终踏上了这段旅程)”可知，MacDonald决定游览撒哈拉沙漠是因为这里有许多未探索的地方。故答案为：Many unexplored places in the Sahara Desert. 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中MacDonald所说的话“The train was dirty and uncomfortable but it was such an interesting and unique way to travel through the vast desert by train (这趟列车虽然肮脏又不舒适，但乘坐火车穿越广袤沙漠的体验却是如此新奇独特)”可知，MacDonald认为这趟旅程肮脏又不舒适，但新奇而独特。故答案为：She found it dirty and uncomfortable but interesting and unique. 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中MacDonald所说的话“I thought my skin was going to be torn off because of the rain and blowing sand. It felt like sandpaper on my skin. I have never experienced winds that strong before. There was once a time when I wanted to give up. (当时，我感觉自己的皮肤都要被雨点和飞沙撕裂了。粗糙的沙粒摩擦着我的皮肤，就像砂纸在打磨一样。我从未经历过如此猛烈的狂风，有那么一刻，我甚至想要放弃)”可知，MacDonald曾经想放弃旅行是因为天气状态很恶劣。故答案为：Because the weather conditions were harsh. 【59题详解】 词句猜测题。画线词的上一句“She dealt with the harsh conditions by trying not to travel in the middle of the day and wore headscarves to protect herself from the sun and blowing sand. (她通过避免正午出行和佩戴头巾来应对恶劣环境，以此遮挡烈日和飞沙的侵袭)”表明因为恶劣的环境，MacDonald改变了自己出行的时间和方式，再结合画线词的上文“The weather (天气)”和下文“when and where you travel (出行的时间和地点)”可推知，天气决定了旅行时间和地点，画线词意为“决定”。故答案为：Decide/Determine. 【60题详解】 开放性试题。本题答案可以是多样的，结合文章内容言之有理即可。例如，根据最后一段中“Even with all the challenges, the photographer managed to record amazing images of the beautiful but harsh landscapes of Mauritania, and its fascinating cultures and communities. (尽管面临重重挑战，这位摄影师依然成功记录下了毛里塔尼亚壮美而严酷的自然景观，以及当地迷人的文化与社区风貌)”可知，MacDonald勇敢克服困难的精神可以激励读者，让读者学会面对生活中的困难并设法克服它们。故答案可为：MacDonald’s spirit of bravely overcoming difficulties inspires me. I will face the difficulties in life and manage to overcome them. 六、书面表达(25分) 61. 假设你是李津，晨光中学学生会汉语社（Chinese Language Club）的负责人。你校国际部拟邀请你给今年新入学的国际生做一次演讲，主题是“阅读在中文学习中的重要性”。请根据以下要点写一篇演讲稿： 1. 阅读中文材料的重要性； 2. 多读中文报纸、杂志等，在阅读中积累词汇，提升阅读技巧； 3. 号召大家养成阅读习惯。 注意： 1 词数不少于100； 2. 可适当增加细节，使行文连贯； 3. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 参考词汇：《人民日报》People’s Daily 《读者》Reader Dear teachers and schoolmates, I am Li Jin, from Chinese Language Club. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That’s all. Thank you! 【答案】One possible version: Dear teachers and schoolmates, I am Li Jin, from Chinese Language Club. Mastering Chinese begins with reading, as it is through this practice that you develop both linguistic competence and cultural literacy simultaneously. When you immerse yourselves in carefully selected materials like People’s Daily or Reader magazine, you’re not just learning vocabulary — you’re acquiring the ability to think in Chinese. I suggest starting with short articles, underlining key expressions, and maintaining a vocabulary notebook, which research shows can improve retention. Let’s make reading a daily habit because the secret lies in consistency. Even dedicating just 15 minutes daily to reading Chinese news or stories will yield remarkable progress over time. Remember, every sentence you comprehend today builds the foundation for fluency tomorrow. That’s all. Thank you! 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。题目要求学生以汉语社负责人李津的身份，给新入学的国际生做一次演讲，首先指出阅读在中文学习中的重要性，再介绍具体的阅读方法，最后号召大家养成阅读习惯。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 从……开始：begin with→start with, commence with 表明：show→indicate, demonstrate 产生：yield→produce 值得注意的：remarkable→notable, outstanding 2. 句式拓展 同义句转换： 原句：I suggest starting with short articles, underlining key expressions, and maintaining a vocabulary notebook, which research shows can improve retention. 拓展句：I suggest (that) you (should) start with short articles, underline key expressions, and maintain a vocabulary notebook, which research shows can improve retention. 【点睛】[高分句型1] Mastering Chinese begins with reading, as it is through this practice that you develop both linguistic competence and cultural literacy simultaneously.
