Instead of asking your teacher 4 a word means, these days you can easily find an app which can help you. This is because of AI translators. They are digital tools that can not only translate the words, but also translate the passage. What’s more, thanks to the Neural Machine Translation (NMT), they are able to learn from large amounts of data. This means the more they 5 , the more accurate they will be. So humans are quite 6 from machine translators. 7 useful tools AI translations are! AI translations are great, but the results they produce often need to be checked by 8 real person as they sometimes make obvious mistakes. They also lack the human feelings. They can surely help you in some situations, but it’s not easy 9 relationships by using only AI translators. Learning languages from teachers can help us communicate.

It helps us learn from the past and plan for the future. However, it is hard for us to truly experience history. Now, digital technology is changing the way we learn about history. Digital technology allows people to “visit” historical places online. For example, students can explore ancient buildings or cities through their computers. They can even walk through famous places like the Great Wall of China or the Pyramids of Egypt without leaving home. This is much more interesting than just reading books or listening to teachers. It helps them understand different cultures and life in the past in a lively way. Besides, digital technology helps protect old artworks and documents. Many old paintings and books are easily damaged as time goes by. Museums can turn them into digital copies to save them forever. This way, people around the world can see these treasures online easily. Digital tools can also help repair damaged artworks. Broken parts of ancient statues can be fixed on computers, so they won’t disappear over time. Digital technology is also useful for historians. In the past, studying old materials took years, but now with computers, they can work faster. They can search old texts quickly or use AI tools to find connections between events. This leads to new discoveries and ideas about history. In short, digital technology makes learning history easier and more fun. As technology keeps developing, we will find even better ways to explore and protect our culture. Maybe one day, virtual reality (VR) will let us “live” in history! 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 2? A．By telling a story. B．By giving examples.

Researchers from Canada did some study of it. Researcher Kay Y. Y. Tam began the study when she noticed she and many others often swiped through online videos. This behavior was connected with the “Boredom Feedback Model (无聊反馈模型)”, a theory she suggested in 2021. She said boredom comes from attention shifts (转移). These shifts happen when how interested we feel is different from what we expect. Boredom grows when things are not new or meaningful. Tam said, “Since digital switching has lots of attention shifts, I wondered how it affects our boredom.” In her study, over 1200 people, many of them university students, first watched a 10minute video. Then they saw seven short videos and could skip (跳过) some. In general, they skipped 8 times. They said they felt more bored and less interested when watching the long video. The same thing happened in another similar experiment. These new findings show that boredom is increasing, although the world is filled with content we can access at any time. People who are bored often turn to their phones, only to find more boredom. Swiping on social media has also been connected with increased feelings of boredom. Boredom can force us to explore the environment and to stop spending time on an activity that has little to offer. But if we always run away quickly, it’s like an animal moving from tree to tree for food without waiting to see if there’s any fruit. That animal might go hungry. 1．When do attention shifts happen according to Tam’s theory? A．When we swipe online videos. B．When our wish is not satisfied. C．When we feel interested in others. D．When nothing is new or meaningful. 2．What did Tam want to find in her study? A．Why people like switching videos 8 times. B．Why people feel bored when watching long videos. C．How digital switching affects people’s attention. D．How digital switching influences people’s boredom. 3．What does the underlined word “access” mean? A．Get. B．Share. C．Lose. D．Create. 4．What does the writer mainly tell us in the last paragraph? A．Animals are more patient than humans in finding food. B．We should always search for new and exciting activities. C．Avoiding boredom quickly can make us miss good things. D．Boredom is totally useless and has no good effects on our life. 5．What could be the best title of the text? A．Boredom Feedback Model B．Ways to Stop Digital Switching C．Digital Switching: the Cycle of Endless Boredom D．Digital Switching: the Root of Endless Boredom 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文探讨“数字切换”行为。基于Tam的“无聊反馈模型”，研究发现该行为通过注意力转移加剧无聊感，形成内容可访问却更无聊的循环，并指出快速逃避可能错失探索机会。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“These shifts happen when how interested we feel is different from what we expect”可知，注意力转移发生在兴趣感与期望不符时，选项B“愿望未被满足”与此相符。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段直接引用Tam的话“I wondered how it affects our boredom”可知，她旨在探究数字切换对无聊感的影响。选项D“数字切换如何影响人们的无聊感”准确对应，故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据上下文“the world is filled with content we can access at any time”表明“access”指“获取”或“访问”内容，选项A“Get”最贴合语境。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据“Boredom can force us to explore the environment and to stop spending time on an activity that has little to offer.”可知，快速避免无聊可能使人错过潜在益处，如探索机会。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。全文核心为数字切换导致无聊循环，研究显示切换增加无聊，人们转向手机却更无聊，选项C“数字切换：无聊的无尽循环”更全面，突出行为与结果的反复性。故选C。 三、完形填空 Choose the best answer and complete the passage （选择正确的选项完成短文） In today’s English class, students had a speech competition. They talked about whether ebooks should take the place of print books. The following are the speeches given by two students.

These libraries can hold many more books than a traditional bookshop or library can. People can quickly find and read their books on an ereader at any time and in any place.   Joy Pamnani: I strongly believe that print books must 4 . In my opinion, ebooks have many disadvantages. Ebooks aren’t as environmentally friendly as you think. A common argument used by ebook supporters is that ebooks save paper. But isn’t it also true that there’s more carbon being let out by the electronic devices (电子设备)? Since you have to spend extra money on those devices before you can buy and read ebooks, they aren’t 5 at all. Besides, you can’t easily write notes on an ereader, and you can’t read anything when they run out of battery. Ebooks are unhealthy too. The light given off by these devices can lead to 6 problem.

They were printed on big sheets of paper and brought to homes early in the morning or sold in shops. People would enjoy their morning coffee while reading the paper. But now, the way we read news is very different because of 1 . These days, it’s more common to read news on digital (数码的，电子的) devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops. The change from paper to screens has happened for many reasons. First, the internet lets us get news 2 . Instead of waiting for the morning paper, digital news is always there and keeps getting updated all the time. This means we can know about new events as they happen. Another big change is how easy it is to access digital news. You can read news 3 and anytime, like on a bus, in a line, or at home. This ease of access has made digital news very popular. Digital news sites also have things like videos, links, and pictures that make news more interesting. But, this new way of reading news has its problems. Screen popups and digital 4 can make it hard for us to focus. Also, not everyone has digital devices or good internet, which means some people can’t get digital news. Despite these problems, more and more people are reading news digitally. This shows a big change in how we get information and 5 with the world.

To help, big tech companies are creating chatbots using AI. Chatbots are smart programs that can talk to us on phones, messaging apps and websites and give quick replies to our questions. Chatbots have changed how we get information and shop online. They can do many things, like learning new knowledge, giving helpful suggestions and solving technical problems. This makes them very useful in our busy digital lives. There are two types of chatbots: open and closed. Closed chatbots use prewritten answers for common questions. Open chatbots, however, use advanced AI to understand what we want and give the right replies. They also learn from each conversation, becoming better at answering different kinds of questions over time. The great thing about chatbots is that they’re used any time, even at night. And they can help many people at once, so we don’t have to wait long for answers. But chatbots aren’t perfect. Some questions are too difficult for chatbots to answer, that’s why they need humans to train them. Besides, they can’t understand human feelings well. Many people still prefer talking to real persons because of the warmth they provide. Chatbots have made online services faster and more convenient. But they can’t work best without working together with humans. By combining AIpowered chatbots and human skills, we get a better customer service experience that’s both quick and understanding. As we move forward in this digital age, using chatbots and human intelligence together will shape how we interact (互动) with technology in the future. 1．What are chatbots? 2．What have chatbots changed according to the text? 3．Why do chatbots need humans to train them? 4．How can chatbots work best? 5．Which of the two types of chatbots do you think is better to use?

As a lot of students go back to schools for the autumn term across China, many of them are excited to see more technologies (科技) in their classrooms. On the first day of the new term, students fed information into an interactive (互动的) robot named “Xiaofei” to make it a helper for the school. Many schools are building digital campuses (数字化校园). For example, in some schools’ PE classes, students wear special watches that are given by the teachers to monitor (监测) their health condition. Teachers look at the information to make sure everyone is healthy. Some students at the Jin Ling High School in Nanjing tested a new “Smart Playground”. They did a jump rope test for three minutes. Their results were shown up on a screen right away. The “Smart Playground” helps teachers see how students perform (表现) in different sports activities. In schools like the Beijing No.18 Middle School, smart blackboards allow students to do interesting experiments on the touch screen.

For him, the emap is not only a tool for planning routes, but also the 1 way to find a public toilet nearby. Zhu said he and some of his passengers could be struck on the roadside in times of need. His worries can 2 by emaps. For example, the emap can tell him 3 there is a toilet within 200 meters. A popular emap recently brought out 4 2022 National Public Toilet Atlas. Some cities are among China’s top 10 for the number of public toilets 5 people can search. Since 2015, China has been making progress in its “toilet revolution (厕所革命)”. It has increased the number of public toilets in cities and 6 the hygiene (卫生) of toilets in rural areas. Technology now takes it a step further by giving public toilets a digital presence (数字化存在). For example, Gaode Map has worked 7 the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and brought out 8 emap of tourist toilets. Its online mapping service shows 130, 000 public 9 at more than 20, 000 tourist sites across the country, Xinhua reported. “New technologies offer people convenience in times of need 10 misbehavior (不文明行为),” said Zhang Baoyi, from the Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences. 1．A．good B．better C．best 2．A．reduce B．reduced C．be reduced 3．A．if B．when C．unless 4．A．it B．itself C．its 5．A．that B．where C．who 6．A．improve B．improved C．has improved 7．A．about B．with C．from 8．A．a B．an C．the 9．A．toilet B．toilets C．toilets’ 10．A．to avoid B．avoiding C．avoided 请通读下面短文，掌握其大意，根据语法和上下文连贯的要求，从每小题所给的三个选项中选出一个最佳答案，并将答题卡上对应题目所选的选项涂黑。 When we feel hungry, we can take out our phones and order some food easily.

For example, Baidu Translate 1 translate over 200 languages accurately in no time. But are AI translators really 2 ? And does this mean you can give up learning English? Read on to find the 3 . Instead of asking your teacher 4 a word means, these days you can easily find an app which can help you. This is because of AI translators. They are digital tools that can not only translate the words, but also translate the passage. What’s more, thanks to the Neural Machine Translation (NMT), they are able to learn from large amounts of data. This means the more they 5 , the more accurate they will be. So humans are quite 6 from machine translators. 7 useful tools AI translations are! AI translations are great, but the results they produce often need to be checked by 8 real person as they sometimes make obvious mistakes. They also lack the human feelings. They can surely help you in some situations, but it’s not easy 9 relationships by using only AI translators. Learning languages from teachers can help us communicate. It can also widen 10 sight and help us enjoy the thoughts and cultures abroad. Even the best AI translator isn’t able to do so. 1．A．can B．may C．must 2．A．good B．better C．the best 3．A．answer B．answers C．answer’s 4．A．why B．how C．what 5．A．use B．are used C．were used 6．A．difference B．differently C．different 7．A．What a B．What C．How 8．A．a B．an C．the 9．A．build B．to build C．building 10．A．us B．our C．ourselves 二、阅读理解 History is an important part of human culture. It helps us learn from the past and plan for the future. However, it is hard for us to truly experience history. Now, digital technology is changing the way we learn about history. Digital technology allows people to “visit” historical places online. For example, students can explore ancient buildings or cities through their computers. They can even walk through famous places like the Great Wall of China or the Pyramids of Egypt without leaving home. This is much more interesting than just reading books or listening to teachers. It helps them understand different cultures and life in the past in a lively way. Besides, digital technology helps protect old artworks and documents. Many old paintings and books are easily damaged as time goes by. Museums can turn them into digital copies to save them forever. This way, people around the world can see these treasures online easily. Digital tools can also help repair damaged artworks. Broken parts of ancient statues can be fixed on computers, so they won’t disappear over time. Digital technology is also useful for historians. In the past, studying old materials took years, but now with computers, they can work faster. They can search old texts quickly or use AI tools to find connections between events. This leads to new discoveries and ideas about history. In short, digital technology makes learning history easier and more fun. As technology keeps developing, we will find even better ways to explore and protect our culture. Maybe one day, virtual reality (VR) will let us “live” in history! 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 2? A．By telling a story. B．By giving examples.

D．DeepSeek is a useful digital learning partner but has its limits. “Digital switching” refers to the modern habit of swiping (刷) through online videos quickly. Researchers from Canada did some study of it. Researcher Kay Y. Y. Tam began the study when she noticed she and many others often swiped through online videos. This behavior was connected with the “Boredom Feedback Model (无聊反馈模型)”, a theory she suggested in 2021. She said boredom comes from attention shifts (转移). These shifts happen when how interested we feel is different from what we expect. Boredom grows when things are not new or meaningful. Tam said, “Since digital switching has lots of attention shifts, I wondered how it affects our boredom.” In her study, over 1200 people, many of them university students, first watched a 10minute video. Then they saw seven short videos and could skip (跳过) some. In general, they skipped 8 times. They said they felt more bored and less interested when watching the long video. The same thing happened in another similar experiment. These new findings show that boredom is increasing, although the world is filled with content we can access at any time. People who are bored often turn to their phones, only to find more boredom. Swiping on social media has also been connected with increased feelings of boredom. Boredom can force us to explore the environment and to stop spending time on an activity that has little to offer. But if we always run away quickly, it’s like an animal moving from tree to tree for food without waiting to see if there’s any fruit. That animal might go hungry. 1．When do attention shifts happen according to Tam’s theory? A．When we swipe online videos. B．When our wish is not satisfied. C．When we feel interested in others. D．When nothing is new or meaningful. 2．What did Tam want to find in her study? A．Why people like switching videos 8 times. B．Why people feel bored when watching long videos. C．How digital switching affects people’s attention. D．How digital switching influences people’s boredom. 3．What does the underlined word “access” mean? A．Get. B．Share. C．Lose. D．Create. 4．What does the writer mainly tell us in the last paragraph? A．Animals are more patient than humans in finding food. B．We should always search for new and exciting activities. C．Avoiding boredom quickly can make us miss good things. D．Boredom is totally useless and has no good effects on our life. 5．What could be the best title of the text? A．Boredom Feedback Model B．Ways to Stop Digital Switching C．Digital Switching: the Cycle of Endless Boredom D．Digital Switching: the Root of Endless Boredom 三、完形填空 Choose the best answer and complete the passage （选择正确的选项完成短文） In today’s English class, students had a speech competition. They talked about whether ebooks should take the place of print books. The following are the speeches given by two students. Joshua Lee: While many people argue that ebooks don’t feel the same as “real” books, we should consider that the printing industry does a lot of harm to our 1 . Producing books means cutting down millions of trees for paper, and the processes of printing requires a great deal of energy. Ebooks need no papers at all. They will probably 2 our use of energy and natural resources. 3 , ebooks allow people to get information more easily. Ebooks can be stored and selected from huge digital libraries (数字图书馆). These libraries can hold many more books than a traditional bookshop or library can. People can quickly find and read their books on an ereader at any time and in any place.   Joy Pamnani: I strongly believe that print books must 4 . In my opinion, ebooks have many disadvantages. Ebooks aren’t as environmentally friendly as you think. A common argument used by ebook supporters is that ebooks save paper. But isn’t it also true that there’s more carbon being let out by the electronic devices (电子设备)? Since you have to spend extra money on those devices before you can buy and read ebooks, they aren’t 5 at all. Besides, you can’t easily write notes on an ereader, and you can’t read anything when they run out of battery. Ebooks are unhealthy too. The light given off by these devices can lead to 6 problem. A study showed it took ebook readers an average of ten minutes longer to fall asleep than those who read print books. 1．A．tradition B．environment C．health D．culture 2．A．reduce B．protect C．describe D．provide 3．A．As a result B．By the way C．On one hand D．What’s more 4．A．change B．help C．stay D．return 5．A．cheap B．useful C．interesting D．different 6．A．reading B．memory C．sleep D．eating Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词语，完成短文) Years ago, the only way to get news from around the world was through newspapers. They were printed on big sheets of paper and brought to homes early in the morning or sold in shops. People would enjoy their morning coffee while reading the paper. But now, the way we read news is very different because of 1 . These days, it’s more common to read news on digital (数码的，电子的) devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops. The change from paper to screens has happened for many reasons. First, the internet lets us get news 2 . Instead of waiting for the morning paper, digital news is always there and keeps getting updated all the time. This means we can know about new events as they happen. Another big change is how easy it is to access digital news. You can read news 3 and anytime, like on a bus, in a line, or at home. This ease of access has made digital news very popular. Digital news sites also have things like videos, links, and pictures that make news more interesting. But, this new way of reading news has its problems. Screen popups and digital 4 can make it hard for us to focus. Also, not everyone has digital devices or good internet, which means some people can’t get digital news. Despite these problems, more and more people are reading news digitally. This shows a big change in how we get information and 5 with the world. As technology gets better, we’ll probably see even newer ways to share and read news. It’s important to teach young readers how to use digital news in a good way. Knowing how to find trustworthy news and stay 6 among distractions (the things that take your attention away from what you’re trying to do or think about) are key skills today. Moving from paper to digital news isn’t just about using new tech. It’s about how we use information in our lives every day, showing how the way we get news is always changing. 1．A．books B．technology C．newspapers D．magazines 2．A．immediately B．possibly C．daily D．hardly 3．A．nowhere B．somewhere C．anywhere D．everywhere 4．A．news B．advertisements C．articles D．stories 5．A．conclude B．complain C．consider D．connect 6．A．focused B．worried C．surprised D．relaxed Villages in China have enjoyed their development in a digital way in recent years. With the help of digital technology, 1 are living an easier and happier life. 2 in the past was not an easy job. Farmers worked hard all year round. At the same time they usually found it difficult to solve problems like 3 diseases (疾病) and pests (害虫). Now there have been big changes in farming. For example, in Dayi County, Sichuan Province, there are 13 digital farms with AI 4 . These machines help local farmers know when and 5 to fertilize (施肥) and kill pests. In this way, they make farmers work more easily with less time and energy. Thanks to the Internet, a new 6 called rural ecommerce (乡村电子商务) grows. Selling fresh fruit and vegetables to cities is faster. In the past, it was hard for people in 7 to know what villagers planted. Now, they can buy things 8 over the phones. The business also helps villagers live a digital life. They can get many things done on different kinds of apps. They can also use drones (无人机) to help with their farm work. More visitors travel in beautiful villages because of digital technology. A good example is Huacheng Town, Guangdong Province. To let more people know its culture and attract more visitors, it 9 a “digital town”. Visitors can know where to park their cars for free, when to 10 a ticket easily and what to buy online. They can also enjoy the view of nearly every part of the town by using VR. 1．A．villagers B．tourists C．businessmen D．fishermen 2．A．Designing B．Building C．Farming D．Repairing 3．A．grass B．pet C．animal D．plant 4．A．models B．machines C．tools D．cameras 5．A．who B．how C．what D．where 6．A．business B．company C．community D．culture 7．A．hills B．villages C．provinces D．cities 8．A．early B．slowly C．easily D．luckily 9．A．dreams of B．looks through C．turns into D．arrives at 10．A．order B．book C．sell D．offer 四、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词，或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。 We did a discussion about handing in homework on WeChat in our class meeting last week.

Also, teachers don’t need 3 (spend) much time on reciting (背诵) facetoface. 4 , they can just listen on WeChat. However, 5 student, Ji Xiang is against it. He says, “As far as I know, boys are crazy about 6 (play) games together on the internet while girls love to chat happily online for long. It’s the   7 (bad) for their eyes, and we know that it will 8 (lead) too many health problems. But even so, their parents won’t find out the truth 9 they think their kids are doing right things. And secondly, teenagers can’t give 10 mobile phones easily. Besides, it’s easier to cheat and feel pressure.” What about your opinion? 阅读下面短文，然后在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词适当形式。 So far, people 1 (use) different forms of money as a way to trade or save. In general, people think the 2 (one) form of money was seashells. 3 the beginning, shells were used about 3,000 years ago in some East Asian countries like China 4 some countries in Africa. Shells were considered (被认为) a good 5 (choose) because they were easy to carry. Then, people developed skills for making metal things. The 6 (early) metal coins were gold coins from Lydia, which were used around 600 BCE. Over time, the paper money appeared in China during 7 Song dynasty. Now we call it jiaozi. Six centuries later (in the 1600s), banks in Europe decided 8 (give) out paper money. Paper money became common in almost all currencies (货币), and it is still 9 (wide) used. These days, people are used to 10 (pay) for things electronically. Nowadays many countries are developing digital currencies. Money is used in a new form. 五、任务型阅读 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 In today’s digital world (数码世界)，people want answers fast. To help, big tech companies are creating chatbots using AI. Chatbots are smart programs that can talk to us on phones, messaging apps and websites and give quick replies to our questions. Chatbots have changed how we get information and shop online. They can do many things, like learning new knowledge, giving helpful suggestions and solving technical problems. This makes them very useful in our busy digital lives. There are two types of chatbots: open and closed. Closed chatbots use prewritten answers for common questions. Open chatbots, however, use advanced AI to understand what we want and give the right replies. They also learn from each conversation, becoming better at answering different kinds of questions over time. The great thing about chatbots is that they’re used any time, even at night. And they can help many people at once, so we don’t have to wait long for answers. But chatbots aren’t perfect. Some questions are too difficult for chatbots to answer, that’s why they need humans to train them. Besides, they can’t understand human feelings well. Many people still prefer talking to real persons because of the warmth they provide. Chatbots have made online services faster and more convenient. But they can’t work best without working together with humans. By combining AIpowered chatbots and human skills, we get a better customer service experience that’s both quick and understanding. As we move forward in this digital age, using chatbots and human intelligence together will shape how we interact (互动) with technology in the future. 1．What are chatbots? 2．What have chatbots changed according to the text? 3．Why do chatbots need humans to train them? 4．How can chatbots work best? 5．Which of the two types of chatbots do you think is better to use?

On the first day of the new term, students fed information into an interactive (互动的) robot named “Xiaofei” to make it a helper for the school. Many schools are building digital campuses (数字化校园). For example, in some schools’ PE classes, students wear special watches that are given by the teachers to monitor (监测) their health condition. Teachers look at the information to make sure everyone is healthy. Some students at the Jin Ling High School in Nanjing tested a new “Smart Playground”. They did a jump rope test for three minutes. Their results were shown up on a screen right away. The “Smart Playground” helps teachers see how students perform (表现) in different sports activities. In schools like the Beijing No.18 Middle School, smart blackboards allow students to do interesting experiments on the touch screen. Cao Peijie, from the China National Academy of Educational Sciences (中国教育科学研究院), said that using digital tools in education helps improve the quality (质量) of education. China is working hard to make it easier for everyone to share highquality education resouroes (资源). 1．How do the students make “Xiaofei” a school helper? 2．What do teachers do with special watches? 3．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refer to (指的是)? 4．What does Cao think of digital tools in education? 5．Do you agree that more technologies should go into schools?
