From smartphones to smart homes, AI makes our lives easier. But what exactly is AI? Think of it as a super-smart computer that can learn, solve problems, and even understand human languages. Now, let’s explore how AI helps us. AI is like a helpful assistant in daily life. For example, voice assistants like Siri or Alexa can answer questions, set alarms, or control your home lights. They use “natural language processing” to understand what you say. In schools, AI tools help teachers grade homework faster and suggest personalized learning plans. Some apps even correct your spelling and grammar in real time! AI also plays a big role in healthcare and education. In hospitals, AI can analyze X-rays and help doctors find diseases early. It’s also used to develop new medicines. Meanwhile, in education, AI-powered apps like Duolingo teach languages by fitting in with your learning speed. Imagine having a 24/7 tutor (家庭教师) who knows exactly what you need! Although AI can do many things, it’s not perfect. Some people worry that it might take all jobs, like factory work or customer service. However, experts say AI will also create new jobs, like robot repair and AI programming. The key is to use AI wisely. For example, self-driving cars use AI to reduce accidents, but humans still need to monitor them. Remember, AI is a tool—it doesn’t replace humans, but it can make our work smarter. So let’s accept AI with curiosity! By learning to use it responsibly, we can build a better future together. 1．What does the underlined word “They” refer to? A．Voice assistants. B．Home lights. C．Learning plans. D．Some apps. 2．Which of the following can summarize Paragraph Four? A．AI will replace all human jobs. B．AI is helpful in healthcare and education. C．AI is helpful but not perfect and needs wise use.

A．AI: a powerful tool for our lives B．How to make an AI software C．A tool which may replace humans D．The development history of AI 2 ①Drones (无人机) are a kind of machine that can fly. They’re becoming more and more popular and are widely used in many areas. People use a computer to control (控制) this flying machine. Drones can do many things for us, like carrying things, taking pictures, and following animals that are in danger. Some people say this special machine will change our life as much as the computer does. ②In Brazil, farmers use drones to watch their crops. Brazil has quite a few large farms. On these farms, people find it difficult to look after all the crops. Drones can help farmers to find out if the crops are ill. They also help farmers use fewer farm chemicals (农药). This can help the environment, our health and save much money. ③Drones can also help to find lost people. If people are lost, who are far from home, police can use drones to find them. A 92-year-old man in Virginia was lost and had to spend a night in the woods. Luckily, the drone found him in 20 minutes. He was finally saved by the police. ④Drones can even serve people coffee. US company IBM has made this kind of drone. It can carry coffee to those in need. The drone can know when to bring a cup of coffee by studying a person’s habits. Then, the drone will fly to the person. There is a special device (设备) under the drone. It helps the drone to give people the coffee. The drone can also predict when someone needs their next cup of coffee. 1．How does the writer tell us many kinds of the uses of drones in Paragraph ①? A．By giving examples. B．By listing numbers. C．By answering questions. D．By using famous sayings. 2．What does Paragraph ② mainly talk about? A．Planting crops by using drones. B．How to use drones to protect the environment. C．How to use farm chemicals. D．Watching the crops by using drones. 3．Where did an old man from Virginia lose his way? A．In the US. B．On the farm. C．In the woods. D．In Brazil 4．What is the right order that the drone serves coffee? a. A device under the drone helps to give the person coffee. b. The drone studies the person’s habits. c. The drone flies to the person. d. The drone knows when to give the next cup of coffee. A．b-a-c-d. B．b-c-a-d. C．c-b-a-d. D．c-a-b-d. 5．What is the right structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 3 Have you ever wondered why so many apps are free to use? After all, they cost money to run. Well, instead of paying with money, you’re paying by sharing your personal data (数据). Then businesses buy and use the data so that they can show you target ads (定向广告). What happened to personal information online? Many free apps get paid by businesses who want to know about the users of the apps. What a business wants is the exact information about customers. Data brokers collect your data—everything from your name, location and education level to the topics you search for, the websites you visit and the people you follow. And then, sell them to businesses. ________________? The data is valuable. Businesses can use the information from data brokers to target their ads. It means they will show their ads to the people who are most likely to be interested in their products or services. What can we do about it? Many countries have made laws to protect personal information. For example, a law in the United States says businesses must get parents’ permission (许可) to collect personal data from kids under 13. China’s law on personal information protection came into effect (生效) on November 1st, 2021. At the same time, we should try to protect our data. If an app asks for something like your location, consider saying “No” first. In short, information about you is very valuable. Try to protect it. 1．According to the passages, how can people use some apps for free? A．By sharing their personal data. B．By buying and using the data. C．By showing the target ads. D．By talking with friends. 2．According to the passage, which picture can describe how businesses show us target ads? A． B． C． D． 3．Which of the following can be put in the “________”? A．What are the people interested in B．Why do businesses show their ads C．Why do businesses want the data D．What are the new products 4．What can we know from the last paragraph? A．We should never let the apps get our own personal information. B．We should put a high value on personal information and protect it. C．All the countries have made the law on personal information protection. D．China should make the same law on personal information as America. 5．Who’s the passage written for? A．Businessmen. B．All the readers. C．Data brokers. D．Parents. 4 Big data (数 据) is a lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program. The computer program looks for different kinds of patterns in the data. Big data includes information collected from many sources (来源), such as information from schools, social media site, companies and governments. One set of data may include people’s names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go to school, and how much time they spend on the computer. Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need extra help in class. The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so they can succeed in school. Companies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream. Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict (预测) if a baby who is born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he or she does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong yet. How can big data be used both for good and bad things? It is because the computer programs are written by people. How people think will decide how they use the date. People think in a certain way and they build models based on their ideas. These models will decide how computer programs look at the data. Good ideas are helpful for people and businesses while bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people. 1．What kind of information may be included in big data? ① people’s names    ② people’s addresses    ③ people’s hobbies ④ people’s schools        ⑤ people’s shopping habits    ⑥ people’s travelling habits A．①②③ B．①②③④ C．①②③⑤⑥ D．①②③④⑤⑥ 2．How does the writer show his ideas in Paragraph 2? A．By showing numbers. B．By giving examples. C．By telling stories. D．By making comparisons. 3．What does the underlined “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Students at school B．Students who need more help than others C．Teachers who give support to students D．Children who succeed in school 4．Why can big data be used for both good and bad reasons? A．Because big data can help take care of babies as well as predict who is going to hurt others. B．Because some programs are good for people while some are bad. C．Because the information included in big data comes from different places. D．Because the people who write computer programs have different ways of thinking. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Big data, good or bad? B．Facts about big data C．Big data—best helper D．People behind big data 5 These years, people show all kinds of things on the Internet—good food, nice clothes, wonderful vacations and so on. Now showing the number of steps is becoming popular, too. Why? People are finding it important to be in good health. To keep healthy, many people go to work on foot. When they start walking, they open the step counter app in their phones to record how many steps they walk that day. After a day’s walk, some people show the number on WeChat or Weibo. This can make them learn from each other and keep exercising. “This helps me to exercise much and keep a good habit,” Miss Liu said. “I can also talk about how to keep healthy with my friends on WeChat. We are in the same group to encourage (鼓励) each other to keep exercising.” Mr. Wu likes to exercise. But in the past he was kind of lazy and didn’t want to exercise every day. “After I use the step counter app, everything is different. It’s great to exercise with my friends. Sometimes there are prizes for those who walk more steps. I really like it.” he said. Walking is a relaxing and useful way to exercise. Both the old and the young like it. Recording the steps helps people develop (养成) a good habit of walking and showing the number can make people more interested in walking. But don’t take the number too seriously. 1．Now ________ on the Internet is also becoming popular. A．showing the number of steps B．showing wonderful vacations C．showing good food and nice clothes D．showing lovely pets 2．What does “step counter” in Paragraph2 mean in Chinese?

B．It can make people stop driving cars. C．It can make people develop a good habit. D．It’s useless (无用的). 6 ①How do you study every day? You may answer it in one second: have classes at school, take notes and do homework. Feeling a little bored? There are other ways that can make learning interesting and varied (多样化). It’s called digital learning. ②Digital learning is a way to help students learn by using the Internet. There are three main kinds of digital learning. Apps are software applications (应用). People can download them on their mobiles. The other two are social networking services, including Weibo and WeChat, and websites. Each one of them is like your teacher. They help you master what you learn at school. ③Compared with traditional learning ways, digital learning has its advantages. Digital learning is varied. It covers almost every school subject. More importantly, it always offers students the newest resources (资源) to learn from. ④Digital learning is also personalized. You can choose what you like to learn. If you don’t master what you have learned at school, you can learn again through digital ways. ⑤However, digital learning also has disadvantages. When you use digital ways to learn, you’ve got little chance of talking with teachers and classmates. As digital learning uses computers or smartphones, watching the screen too long may be bad for your eyes. It is better to take a rest every 20 minutes. 1．Three important kinds of digital learning are mentioned in the passage. They are . ①Apps  ②smartphones   ③computers  ④websites  ⑤mobiles ⑥Weibo and WeChat A．①②⑥ B．①④⑥ C．②③⑤ D．③④⑤ 2．What is the problem of digital learning?

If you put them into your mouth, you’ll never forget the taste of nature…” Dong Yuhui is showing the products (产品) now. There are over 900,000 people watching his live-streaming (直播). He sells 1,500,000 kilos of oranges in two hours. Live-streaming has become a new way of buying and selling products in China in recent years. It has a great influence (影响) on buyers and sellers. Liu Ying comes from Shandong. She is a big fan of live-streaming shopping. For her, it is a time-saving and easy way of shopping. “I can hardly (几乎不) have time to go to the mall to buy things after having two babies,” she said, “I only have some free time at night to watch live-streaming and shop. Live-streaming shopping makes it possible for me to talk with the sellers and buy things I like best.” For sellers, live-streaming helps them attract (吸引) more buyers online and sell more products. The Chinese government says it’s a good way to help farmers make money. Xie Ping is a farmer from Jiaozuo, Henan. She grew vegetables. She had 80,000 fans and sold over 70,000,000 yuan of vegetables through live-streaming last year. Live-streaming shopping is a common way for people to buy things in our everyday life. But every coin has two sides. It may bring some problems like poor product quality (质量). We should be careful of it… 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By following the order of time.

B．How to watch shopping videos through live-streaming? C．How to make money through live-streaming? D．How to treat live-streaming better? 8 Is the Internet good or bad? It’s always a hot topic in our daily life. Different people may have different answers. Since the Internet came into being, it has brought us happiness and tears. Today, let’s take a look at some things that are disappearing as the Internet grows up. When modern people need to record some important things quickly, they don’t find a pen and a piece of paper to write, but to open their mobile phone or computer to record. As a result, it’s common for many people to “pick up the pen but forget words”. Perhaps, in a few years, will pen and paper disappear? As people more and more lose themselves in the online world, the real-looking photos disappear and you can only watch the beautiful pictures on the Internet. If one day you send a real photo in your Wechat Moments, others will even think if it is a photo to make fun. Now everyone can get digital (数字的) maps in a few seconds by using computers or mobile phones. They are easy and fast for users. Do you remember the last time look at the paper maps? After a busy day for the whole family, people used to watch TV together, share information and express feelings. Nowadays, at home, a person with a mobile phone is the whole world. 1．How do people record anything important now? A．By writing it on the paper. B．By remembering it in mind.

A．Most people think the Internet is good. B．People don’t need to learn how to write the words now. C．The paper maps aren’t useful since them appear. D．People prefer playing with the mobile phones instead of talking with families. 9 When you do your homework, you may often meet some problems. What will you do? Tom, a middle school student, will take out his smart phone, goes online and look for answers. Many students do homework in the same way as Tom. “It is fast and easy,” Tom says. “You also learn by seeing how others work them out. It’s very helpful for our study,” says John, another student. John’s Chinese teacher often asks students to give reports on great writers in class. When it comes to John’s turn, he usually goes online for help. “I never take any computer lessons, but I’ve become very good at finding information online and using the computer,” John said. However, many people think doing like this also brings problems. Some students just copy (抄袭) the answers online without thinking. In the end, they become lazy. Head teacher Mr. Wang in Tom and John’s school thinks that knowing how to use the Internet is important. The key is to have good self-control (控制). “When you meet a difficult problem, think about it by yourself first. Remember not to use the Interment too much,” the teacher said. “Be sure to understand the reasons behind the answers, or you won’t learn anything at all. If you can’t do well in self-control, ask your parents for help.” 1．What does the underlined word “It” refer to? A．Looking for homework answers from books. B．Using the Internet to help with homework. C．Asking teachers for help to do homework. D．Copying classmates’ homework answers. 2．Why does John become good at computer? A．Taking computer lessons. B．Using the computer for fun.

C．Learn self-control. D．Think by themselves. 4．According to Mr. Wang, what is the most important thing for students to use the Internet for homework? A．Use the Internet too much. B．Have good self-control. C．Find the answer first and think about it D．Ask the parents for help 10 Attention, people of earth: Fine. The big secret is out. Your finest scientists have found there is life here, on our beautiful planet Venus(金星). Congratulations! We have something to say: Stay away, no exploration (探索): We are serious. Stay away from us. If we wake up one morning and look out and see someone wandering around in a spacesuit, we are going to be really ticked off. We mean no hostility (恶意). We’re actually a very nice planet. It’s just that we’re scared by what you’ve done down there. Earth looks like a mess，it is completely ruined (破坏). You’ve got health crises (危机), environmental crises, political crises. You keep fighting about face masks. No wonder so many of you want to leave Earth for another planet. Leave us alone. Stay right where you are. We know you’d like it here. That’s what scares us. You’d all move to Venus in a minute. We’ve got beautiful weather, little traffic, a proper cost of living. On Venus, you can only buy a three-bedroom for, like $135,000. (Paragraph 7) Crazy, right? In all fairness, you’ve got some good stuff over there, too. Earth does have its attractive qualities. We’re jealous of the Qomolangma, the Amazon rainforest, and the Palace Museum. But we live in a fragile (脆弱的) solar system. We can only deal with so much. If we start having you all up here, pretty soon, the Martians and Jupiterians (火星人和木星人) are going to want to come, too. Trust us: you don’t want them sleeping on your sofa, drinking all your beer. We’ve been there before, and they left this place a mess. Cool your enthusiasm (热情). We’re not your escape plan. Venus is not Earth 2. We wish you the best in saving your planet. Sincerely, Venus 1．The underlined phrase “ticked off” in this passage is closet in meaning to ________. A．sad B．angry C．excited D．interested 2．We can infer (推断) from paragraph 7 that ________. A．the living cost on the Earth is very high B．the living conditions on Venus are very good C．the housing prices on Venus are very expensive D．Earth’s people will move to Venus because of the good weather 3．Venus wants Earth’s people to stay away because ________. A．there are only a few resources (资源) on Venus B．Earth’s people will ruin Venus like they have ruined Earth C．Earth’s people will ruin Venus people’s sofas and drink all their beer D．Venus’ people hate Earth’s people because they have explored Venus too often 11 You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is not likely to change and stays young-looking. In 2035, medical science is better than ever. Many people of your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging nanotechnology treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age! You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” include particles, which are very small in size and can be used to change your clothes’ color or pattern. You walk into the kitchen. You get the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the FRID chip, a piece of electronic equipment, on the milk bottle, and it knows the milk is old. In 2035, every food item in the supermarket has an FRID chip. It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeves. Nano-sized “smart technology(科技)” is all around you. “Your whole body and everything around you will become part of the same network,” says scientist Ampy Buchholz. So will all these come true? For new technology to succeed, says scientist Andrew Zolli, “it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example—what will be the next? 1．According to the passage, what will happen in 2035? A．People will live to be 150. B．Clothes will be much cheaper. C．Cars can change colours themselves. D．Food can stay fresh for a longer time. 2．What will come true according to scientist Ampy Buchholz? A．Technology can be very dangerous. B．Technology can replace what we have already. C．Technology can make people nervous. D．Technology can be part of our lives. 3．What is the best title for the passage? A．Why will Everyday Life be Changed? B．How will We Live in 2035? C．When will Smart Technology be Used? D．What will We Eat and Wear in 2035? 12 ①In the year 2070, most of you will be more than 60 years old. The good news is that travel might become smarter by that time. European Airline makes a future travel report. Let’s take a look at some new ideas. ②First of all, we will have more comfortable flight. The seats on the plane will not be one size any more. You can book (预定) a seat in your body size. The seat might cool or warm you to your favourite temperature. There will also be no more TVs on the back of your seats. You can watch movies just in front of your eyes. ③Secondly, you may not need to pack (打包) clothes in the future. Before you fly, you will have a body scan (扫描). And after arriving, you’ll find a box with 3D-printed clothes in your size. You can also 3D print whatever you want to eat. ④Finally, if you wear a new kind of hat, you can see what happened at a historic (历史的) place, such as a famous battle (战争). You may even be able to sit with the cheering people at the first Olympic Games. 1．How can we stay more comfortable on planes in the future? A．Cool or warm our seats. B．Choose our favourite seats.

A． B． C． D． 13 It’s 2054. I’m sitting in my room, looking at the screen in front of me for a long time. A small sound breaks the quietness. It’s a new message from Mia, my best friend for as long as I can remember. “ Hey, have you seen the news? The sea waters are going up faster than we thought. My family’s moving north next week. ” I took a deep breath (深呼吸) and answered on the screen, “ Yeah, too. ” A new pop-up (弹出式窗口) suddenly comes out on the screen. It’s about the people who had to move away from the seaside cities. People are leaving for higher place. A program shows the sea water is going up and covering all the neighborhoods. It’s hard to believe that this is the world we live in now. Last weekend, my parents sat me down for a serious talk. We were going to leave our city and move north, away from the seaside. I knew we had to keep living, but leaving everything behind made us sad. But there was something else my dad said. He had a plan for our new home. “ We can’t just live, ” he told me. “ We have to become strong and successful. We’ll build new neighborhoods that are good for the Earth and won’t put it in danger. ” As we pack (打包) our bags, another message comes in from Mia. Her family is also planning how to build their new home. They’ll plant trees with the people who live there. That gives me hope. Maybe all the families moving north will build a new future, different from past. The next few years will be hard, but I’m ready for difficulties.

From smartphones to smart homes, AI makes our lives easier. But what exactly is AI? Think of it as a super-smart computer that can learn, solve problems, and even understand human languages. Now, let’s explore how AI helps us. AI is like a helpful assistant in daily life. For example, voice assistants like Siri or Alexa can answer questions, set alarms, or control your home lights. They use “natural language processing” to understand what you say. In schools, AI tools help teachers grade homework faster and suggest personalized learning plans. Some apps even correct your spelling and grammar in real time! AI also plays a big role in healthcare and education. In hospitals, AI can analyze X-rays and help doctors find diseases early. It’s also used to develop new medicines. Meanwhile, in education, AI-powered apps like Duolingo teach languages by fitting in with your learning speed. Imagine having a 24/7 tutor (家庭教师) who knows exactly what you need! Although AI can do many things, it’s not perfect. Some people worry that it might take all jobs, like factory work or customer service. However, experts say AI will also create new jobs, like robot repair and AI programming. The key is to use AI wisely. For example, self-driving cars use AI to reduce accidents, but humans still need to monitor them. Remember, AI is a tool—it doesn’t replace humans, but it can make our work smarter. So let’s accept AI with curiosity! By learning to use it responsibly, we can build a better future together. 1．What does the underlined word “They” refer to? A．Voice assistants. B．Home lights. C．Learning plans.

After all, they cost money to run. Well, instead of paying with money, you’re paying by sharing your personal data (数据). Then businesses buy and use the data so that they can show you target ads (定向广告). What happened to personal information online? Many free apps get paid by businesses who want to know about the users of the apps. What a business wants is the exact information about customers. Data brokers collect your data—everything from your name, location and education level to the topics you search for, the websites you visit and the people you follow. And then, sell them to businesses. ________________? The data is valuable. Businesses can use the information from data brokers to target their ads. It means they will show their ads to the people who are most likely to be interested in their products or services. What can we do about it? Many countries have made laws to protect personal information. For example, a law in the United States says businesses must get parents’ permission (许可) to collect personal data from kids under 13. China’s law on personal information protection came into effect (生效) on November 1st, 2021. At the same time, we should try to protect our data. If an app asks for something like your location, consider saying “No” first. In short, information about you is very valuable. Try to protect it. 1．According to the passages, how can people use some apps for free? A．By sharing their personal data. B．By buying and using the data. C．By showing the target ads. D．By talking with friends. 2．According to the passage, which picture can describe how businesses show us target ads? A． B． C． D． 3．Which of the following can be put in the “________”?

The computer program looks for different kinds of patterns in the data. Big data includes information collected from many sources (来源), such as information from schools, social media site, companies and governments. One set of data may include people’s names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go to school, and how much time they spend on the computer. Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need extra help in class. The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so they can succeed in school. Companies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream. Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict (预测) if a baby who is born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he or she does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong yet. How can big data be used both for good and bad things? It is because the computer programs are written by people. How people think will decide how they use the date. People think in a certain way and they build models based on their ideas. These models will decide how computer programs look at the data. Good ideas are helpful for people and businesses while bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people. 1．What kind of information may be included in big data? ① people’s names    ② people’s addresses    ③ people’s hobbies ④ people’s schools        ⑤ people’s shopping habits    ⑥ people’s travelling habits A．①②③ B．①②③④ C．①②③⑤⑥ D．①②③④⑤⑥ 2．How does the writer show his ideas in Paragraph 2?

It’s always a hot topic in our daily life. Different people may have different answers. Since the Internet came into being, it has brought us happiness and tears. Today, let’s take a look at some things that are disappearing as the Internet grows up. When modern people need to record some important things quickly, they don’t find a pen and a piece of paper to write, but to open their mobile phone or computer to record. As a result, it’s common for many people to “pick up the pen but forget words”. Perhaps, in a few years, will pen and paper disappear? As people more and more lose themselves in the online world, the real-looking photos disappear and you can only watch the beautiful pictures on the Internet. If one day you send a real photo in your Wechat Moments, others will even think if it is a photo to make fun. Now everyone can get digital (数字的) maps in a few seconds by using computers or mobile phones. They are easy and fast for users. Do you remember the last time look at the paper maps? After a busy day for the whole family, people used to watch TV together, share information and express feelings. Nowadays, at home, a person with a mobile phone is the whole world. 1．How do people record anything important now? A．By writing it on the paper. B．By remembering it in mind.

A．Most people think the Internet is good. B．People don’t need to learn how to write the words now. C．The paper maps aren’t useful since them appear. D．People prefer playing with the mobile phones instead of talking with families. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 【解析】本文主要讲述了随着互联网的发展，纸笔的使用越来越少，漂亮但不真实的照片在网上越来越受欢迎，数字地图越来越方便。 1．细节理解题。根据“When modern people need to record some important things quickly, they don’t find a pen and a piece of paper to write, but to open their mobile phone or computer to record.”可知，现在人们打开手机或电脑来快速记录一些重要的事情。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“As people more and more lose themselves in the online world, the real-looking photos disappear and you can only watch the beautiful pictures on the Internet.

Tom, a middle school student, will take out his smart phone, goes online and look for answers. Many students do homework in the same way as Tom. “It is fast and easy,” Tom says. “You also learn by seeing how others work them out. It’s very helpful for our study,” says John, another student. John’s Chinese teacher often asks students to give reports on great writers in class. When it comes to John’s turn, he usually goes online for help. “I never take any computer lessons, but I’ve become very good at finding information online and using the computer,” John said. However, many people think doing like this also brings problems. Some students just copy (抄袭) the answers online without thinking. In the end, they become lazy. Head teacher Mr. Wang in Tom and John’s school thinks that knowing how to use the Internet is important. The key is to have good self-control (控制). “When you meet a difficult problem, think about it by yourself first. Remember not to use the Interment too much,” the teacher said. “Be sure to understand the reasons behind the answers, or you won’t learn anything at all. If you can’t do well in self-control, ask your parents for help.” 1．What does the underlined word “It” refer to? A．Looking for homework answers from books. B．Using the Internet to help with homework.

When it comes to John’s turn, he usually goes online for help. ‘I never take any computer lessons, but I’ve become very good at finding information online and using the computer,’ John said.”可知，John擅长使用电脑是因为他在准备课堂报告时经常使用电脑。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“When you meet a difficult problem, think about it by yourself first.”可知，学生在遇到困难问题时，首先应该自己思考。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据Mr. Wang提到的“The key is to have good self-control (控制).”可知，控制使用互联网的关键在于自控力，故选B。 10 Attention, people of earth: Fine. The big secret is out. Your finest scientists have found there is life here, on our beautiful planet Venus(金星). Congratulations! We have something to say: Stay away, no exploration (探索): We are serious. Stay away from us. If we wake up one morning and look out and see someone wandering around in a spacesuit, we are going to be really ticked off. We mean no hostility (恶意). We’re actually a very nice planet. It’s just that we’re scared by what you’ve done down there. Earth looks like a mess，it is completely ruined (破坏). You’ve got health crises (危机), environmental crises, political crises. You keep fighting about face masks. No wonder so many of you want to leave Earth for another planet. Leave us alone. Stay right where you are. We know you’d like it here. That’s what scares us. You’d all move to Venus in a minute. We’ve got beautiful weather, little traffic, a proper cost of living. On Venus, you can only buy a three-bedroom for, like $135,000. (Paragraph 7) Crazy, right? In all fairness, you’ve got some good stuff over there, too. Earth does have its attractive qualities. We’re jealous of the Qomolangma, the Amazon rainforest, and the Palace Museum. But we live in a fragile (脆弱的) solar system. We can only deal with so much. If we start having you all up here, pretty soon, the Martians and Jupiterians (火星人和木星人) are going to want to come, too. Trust us: you don’t want them sleeping on your sofa, drinking all your beer. We’ve been there before, and they left this place a mess. Cool your enthusiasm (热情). We’re not your escape plan. Venus is not Earth 2. We wish you the best in saving your planet. Sincerely, Venus 1．The underlined phrase “ticked off” in this passage is closet in meaning to ________.

On Venus, you can only buy a three-bedroom for, like $135,000”可知在金星上，生活成本是合适的，你只花135,000美元买一套三居室，而地球人想要去火星，由此可推知地球上的生活成本比较高。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“It’s just that we’re scared by what you’ve done down there. Earth looks like a mess，it is completely ruined”以及“We’re not your escape plan. Venus is not Earth 2.”并结合全文内容可知，金星人认为地球人破坏了地球，想要逃到金星上去，但是金星人害怕地球人会像破坏地球一样破坏金星，所以他们想要地球人远离金星。故选B。 11 You get up in the morning and look into the mirror.

In 2035, every food item in the supermarket has an FRID chip. It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeves. Nano-sized “smart technology(科技)” is all around you. “Your whole body and everything around you will become part of the same network,” says scientist Ampy Buchholz. So will all these come true?

My family’s moving north next week. ” I took a deep breath (深呼吸) and answered on the screen, “ Yeah, too. ” A new pop-up (弹出式窗口) suddenly comes out on the screen. It’s about the people who had to move away from the seaside cities. People are leaving for higher place. A program shows the sea water is going up and covering all the neighborhoods.

He had a plan for our new home. “ We can’t just live, ” he told me. “ We have to become strong and successful. We’ll build new neighborhoods that are good for the Earth and won’t put it in danger. ” As we pack (打包) our bags, another message comes in from Mia. Her family is also planning how to build their new home. They’ll plant trees with the people who live there. That gives me hope.
