Passage 2 （陕西西安思源中学2024-2025学年高一月考）A new concept vehicle was shown by Toyota and Sony at the Tokyo Motor Show. The car, named Pod, is intended as a four — wheeled friend. While on the road, Pod keeps track of the driver’s mood. Cameras focused on the eyes are on the watch for any sign of sleepiness. Sleepy drivers are shaken awake with loud music and a shaking chair. If a driver appears to be losing his cool, Pod will display warnings, play calming music and blow cold air in the face. To improve driving skills, Pod compares driver’s performance with the best performance recorded by professionals. It uses this comparison to score drivers and offer advice to all Pod owners. Toyota claims that the car will finally be able to learn its owner’s likes and dislikes by tracking passenger conversations. If the car hears a favorite song being discussed, it will download it from the Internet and play it without being asked. It will also suggest restaurants that might suit the driver’s taste and take photos of passengers when they sound particularly happy. Pod can express a form of road anger. If a driver takes a sharp turn suddenly, the LED on the hood (引擎盖) shows an angry red and the tail sticks up at the back. Anger is one of the car’s 10 “feeling states”. Another is sadness — a blue front with tear — shaped lights seemingly dropping from the headlights — which appears after a flat tire or when petrol is low. “We wanted to show that the cars can be cheerful and entertaining,” said Yasunori Sakamoto, part of the Toyota design team. Mr. Sakamoto said Toyota had no plans to put Pod on the market. Sad, really. 1．What does the underlined phrase “be losing his cool” in the second paragraph means? A．Feel hot. B．Feel sad. C．Want to sleep. D．Be no longer calm. 2．According to the third paragraph, Pod can ________. A．prepare food for the owner B．download the owner’s favorite song C．take photographs of unhappy passengers D．help to improve the passengers’ driving skills 3．What will happen if the gas in this new concept vehicle is running out? A．The LED on its hood will turn red. B．It will shake with loud music. C．Its front lights will turn blue. D．Its tail will stick up. 4．What is the author’s attitude towards this new concept car? A．Supportive. B．Uninterested. C．Doubtful. D．Negative. Passage 3 Nursing homes have increasingly turned to robots to complete a variety of care tasks. A new study from a University of Notre Dame expert on the future of work finds that robot use is associated with increased employment and employee retention (留住), improved productivity and a higher quality of care. The research has important implications for the workplace and the long-term care industry. Yong Suk Lee, associate professor of technology, economy and global affairs, was the lead author for the study. “Our research focused on Japan because it is a super-aging society that provides a good example of what the future could involve elsewhere — a declining population, a growing share of senior citizens and a declining share of working-age people,” Lee said, “We need to be ready for this new reality.” In a future where there are more senior citizens requiring care, using robots in a targeted fashion could benefit workers and patients alike, Lee said. The study analyzed three types of robots that are increasingly used in assisted living facilities. Transfer robots, which nurses use to lift, move and rotate patients in beds and around rooms. Mobility robots, which patients use to move around and to bathe. Monitoring and communication robots, which include technologies such as computer vision and bed sensors that can record and examine patient data such as movement and share it with care providers. “We found that robot adoption aids care workers by reducing quit rates. This is important because employee turnover is a big concern in nursing homes. Workers typically experience a great deal of physical pain, particularly in their knees and back. The work is hard and the pay is low. So robot use was associated with employee retention.” Lee said, “Robots can improve productivity by shifting the tasks performed by care workers to those involving human touch, empathy and flexibility. Ultimately, robots can help workers provide a higher level of patient care.” “This research provides critical insights into how societies can successfully navigate the challenges of caring for aging populations,” Lee said. 1．Why did Yong Suk Lee focus his research on Japan? A．It encourages the elderly care industry. B．It has a sound foundation for robot nursing. C．Its super-aging society well reflects the trend. D．It owns the most advanced robots in the world. 2．What does the underlined word “rotate” in paragraph 3 mean? A．treat. B．examine. C．monitor. D．reposition. 3．Why does robot adoption reduce workers’ quit rates? A．It solves the issue of low pay. B．It eases their heavy working burden. C．It offers a good working environment. D．It helps to treat their occupational injuries. 4．What’s the passage mainly about? A．Japan’s exploration represents the care industry. B．High quality care for the elderly should be advocated. C．Nursing robots benefit staff retention and patient care. D．Robot adoption in nursing requires critical examination. Passage 4 （上海市静安区2024-2025学年高一期末试题）Odeku was not found through traditional scouting (球探) methods. In his East London park, he set up his phone and filmed himself doing exercises like 30-second push-ups, 10-meter sprints, and side jumps. AiSCOUT’s AI platform analyzed his movements. The platform, created by data scientists and top scouts, tests players with standard exercises and provides immediate feedback using machine learning algorithms (算法). The idea came from founder Darren Peries’ frustration when his son was let go by Tottenham’s academy at 16 without any performance records. “Clubs had no footage or data to evaluate him again,” says COO Richard Felton-Thomas. “While senior teams use advanced tracking, youth football, even at top academies, lacks good data.” After seven months of studying millions of data points, AiSCOUT now tracks details like joint angles during jumps and speed patterns, giving feedback within an hour. Top performers move on to ball-skill tests. Odeku’s trial for Burnley involved moving the ball through seven markers filmed in his local park. His speed and control earned him an invitation to the club’s training center, a big turn-around for a player who had been dropped by Premier League academies for being “too small.” “This technology fixes partiality—which means academies tend to prefer players who are already physically developed.” says Felton-Thomas. “As a result, Late bloomers like Odeku, who grew later, get missed.” AiSCOUT helps clubs keep track of players’ progress, including physical and skill improvements. Unlike traditional scouting, where experts travel to matches hoping to find talent, AiSCOUT works with teams like Chelsea and Burnley to find hidden players. “We spot players who have been overlooked,” says Felton-Thomas. The platform even helps recruit Under-8 players by using measures like sprint speed and decision-making. For Odeku, now playing for Haringey Borough’s senior team, the app replaced luck with clear, measurable data. “Before, you needed perfect timing—a scout watching you on your best day,” he says. His trial, filmed in a park, earned him a Burnley invite and gave him confidence: “That session made me feel like I belong.” AiSCOUT turns subjective talent spotting into measurable analysis, giving more opportunities to players while helping clubs make smarter, data-driven decisions. This is changing the future of football. 1．What led to the creation of the AiSCOUT platform? A．A lack of skilled coaches in junior football clubs. B．A top club’s request for more fitness tracking tools. C．An absence of youth football performance data. D．A need to increase sponsorship for youth programs. 2．The underlined word “partiality” in paragraph 4 probably means ________ A．preference for certain players or types B．interest in measuring player growth C．emphasis on physical traits over skill D．neglect of early-developing players 3．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Odeku submitted match highlights from a tournament. B．AiSCOUT promotes fairer and more data-driven decisions. C．AiSCOUT is mainly useful for advanced professional teams. D．Odeku got a trial opportunity based on luck. 4．Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A．From Parks to Stardom: A Young Footballer’s Story B．The Rise of AI Fitness Tools for Youth Training C．How Premier League Clubs Develop Future Stars D．AI Revolutionizes Football Talent Discovery Passage 5 （湖北省武汉市江岸区2023-2024学年高一期末质量检测）Dior clicks a button and watches as her neighborhood is flooded. The shorelines are first to go. 1 By the time seawater reaches the senior center, it has flooded streets and over a dozen brick homes. Dior moves her head up and down, side to side, taking in the simulated (仿真的) view. This is what could happen to Turner Station, a historic African American community southeast of Baltimore, as sea levels rise. Climate change presents many challenges to coastal communities and to those trying to prepare for its impacts, but one of the most basic is also one of the most bothersome: 2 Communicating the realness and immediacy (紧迫) of the climate threat is hugely important to climate researchers and those aiming to cut down what it causes. But it’s also the most important to communities faced with coming changes that are already unavoidable. 3 That’s why Dior and other residents are being directed to sit in metal chairs, put on virtual (模拟) reality（VR） headsets and watch their homes be flooded. 4 It has partnered (合作) with the Port of Baltimore, a few nonprofits and a local landscape architecture firm to adopt (采用) a range of tools and ways to communicate climate change to the public, because every person is different and every place is different. The VR program is only the most recent, and perhaps the most effective step. 5 But tricking people is not the goal of the sea level rise simulation (模拟) being used at Turner Station, says James, one of the program’s developers. “The goal,” he says, “is to start a conversation and help folks visualize (想象) the impacts of climate change and the solutions, and also discuss the trade-offs between them.” A．Then, the baseball fields at Fleming Park. B．For them, public support and input are needed. C．VR is the product of the rapid development of it. D．How do you show people and convince them of a possible future? E．Does the community depend on the shipping industry for its survival? F．Turner Station, a community which gets flooded easily, is trying to prepare. G．VR is an immersive (沉浸式的) experience that can trick the human brain into thinking it’s real.

(“我们的研究集中在日本，因为它是一个超老龄化社会，为其他地方未来可能面临的情况提供了一个很好的例子——人口减少，老年人口比例增加，劳动年龄人口比例下降，”李说)”可知，Yong Suk Lee将研究集中在日本是因为其超老龄化社会很好地反映了趋势。故选C。 2．词义猜测题型。根据第三段“Transfer robots, which nurses use to lift, move and rotate patients in beds and around rooms.(转运机器人，护士用它来在病床及房间周围抬起、移动和rotate病人)” 可知，“rotate”与“lift（抬起）”“move（移动）”并列，且与病人在病床及房间周围的动作相关，结合选项，可推测 “rotate” 意思为 “转动，改变位置”。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“Workers typically experience a great deal of physical pain, particularly in their knees and back. The work is hard and the pay is low. So robot use was associated with employee retention. (工作人员通常会经历很多身体疼痛，尤其是膝盖和背部。工作很辛苦，工资也很低。因此，机器人的使用与员工留存率有关)”可知，机器人的使用降低了工人离职率是因为机器人减轻了工作人员的繁重工作负担。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study from a University of Notre Dame expert on the future of work finds that robot use is associated with increased employment and employee retention (留住), improved productivity and a higher quality of care. (圣母大学一位研究未来工作的专家的一项新研究发现，机器人的使用与就业增加、员工留存率提高、生产力提高和护理质量提高有关)”以及文章内容可知，全文围绕机器人如何通过提升员工留存率和患者护理质量来应对老龄化社会，重点强调其对这两方面的积极影响。选项C“护理机器人有利于员工保留和患者护理”全面概括主题。故选C。 Passage 4 （上海市静安区2024-2025学年高一期末试题）Odeku was not found through traditional scouting (球探) methods. In his East London park, he set up his phone and filmed himself doing exercises like 30-second push-ups, 10-meter sprints, and side jumps. AiSCOUT’s AI platform analyzed his movements. The platform, created by data scientists and top scouts, tests players with standard exercises and provides immediate feedback using machine learning algorithms (算法). The idea came from founder Darren Peries’ frustration when his son was let go by Tottenham’s academy at 16 without any performance records. “Clubs had no footage or data to evaluate him again,” says COO Richard Felton-Thomas. “While senior teams use advanced tracking, youth football, even at top academies, lacks good data.” After seven months of studying millions of data points, AiSCOUT now tracks details like joint angles during jumps and speed patterns, giving feedback within an hour. Top performers move on to ball-skill tests. Odeku’s trial for Burnley involved moving the ball through seven markers filmed in his local park. His speed and control earned him an invitation to the club’s training center, a big turn-around for a player who had been dropped by Premier League academies for being “too small.” “This technology fixes partiality—which means academies tend to prefer players who are already physically developed.” says Felton-Thomas. “As a result, Late bloomers like Odeku, who grew later, get missed.” AiSCOUT helps clubs keep track of players’ progress, including physical and skill improvements. Unlike traditional scouting, where experts travel to matches hoping to find talent, AiSCOUT works with teams like Chelsea and Burnley to find hidden players. “We spot players who have been overlooked,” says Felton-Thomas. The platform even helps recruit Under-8 players by using measures like sprint speed and decision-making. For Odeku, now playing for Haringey Borough’s senior team, the app replaced luck with clear, measurable data. “Before, you needed perfect timing—a scout watching you on your best day,” he says. His trial, filmed in a park, earned him a Burnley invite and gave him confidence: “That session made me feel like I belong.” AiSCOUT turns subjective talent spotting into measurable analysis, giving more opportunities to players while helping clubs make smarter, data-driven decisions. This is changing the future of football. 1．What led to the creation of the AiSCOUT platform? A．A lack of skilled coaches in junior football clubs. B．A top club’s request for more fitness tracking tools. C．An absence of youth football performance data. D．A need to increase sponsorship for youth programs. 2．The underlined word “partiality” in paragraph 4 probably means ________ A．preference for certain players or types B．interest in measuring player growth C．emphasis on physical traits over skill D．neglect of early-developing players 3．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Odeku submitted match highlights from a tournament. B．AiSCOUT promotes fairer and more data-driven decisions. C．AiSCOUT is mainly useful for advanced professional teams. D．Odeku got a trial opportunity based on luck. 4．Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A．From Parks to Stardom: A Young Footballer’s Story B．The Rise of AI Fitness Tools for Youth Training C．How Premier League Clubs Develop Future Stars D．AI Revolutionizes Football Talent Discovery 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了 AiSCOUT 平台的诞生背景、运作方式及其对足球人才发现的革命性影响。该平台利用人工智能和数据分析，改变了传统球探模式，为更多被忽视的球员提供了机会。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“‘Clubs had no footage or data to evaluate him again,’ says COO Richard Felton-Thomas. ‘While senior teams use advanced tracking, youth football, even at top academies, lacks good data.’(首席运营官理查德・费尔顿 - 托马斯表示：“俱乐部没有录像或数据来再次评估他。尽管成年队使用先进的追踪技术，但青年足球，甚至是顶级学院的青年足球，都缺乏良好的数据。”)”可知，俱乐部没有录像或数据来再次评估球员，即使是顶级学院的青年足球也缺乏良好的数据，这直接导致了AiSCOUT平台的创建。故选C项。 2．词义猜测题。根据第四段“which means academies tend to prefer players who are already physically developed(这意味着学院往往更偏爱身体已经发育成熟的球员) ”可知，下文说的是学院往往更偏爱身体已经发育成熟的球员，可推理出划线词“partiality”的意思是对某些球员或类型的偏爱。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“AiSCOUT turns subjective talent spotting into measurable analysis, giving more opportunities to players while helping clubs make smarter, data-driven decisions.( AiSCOUT将主观的人才发掘转化为可量化的分析，为球员创造更多机会，同时帮助俱乐部做出更明智、基于数据的决策)”可知，AiSCOUT帮助俱乐部做出更明智、基于数据的决。可推断出，AiSCOUT促进了更公平、更基于数据的决策。故选B项。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Odeku was not found through traditional scouting (球探) methods. In his East London park, he set up his phone and filmed himself doing exercises like 30-second push-ups, 10-meter sprints, and side jumps. AiSCOUT’s AI platform analyzed his movements. The platform, created by data scientists and top scouts, tests players with standard exercises and provides immediate feedback using machine learning algorithms(算法)( 奥德库并不是通过传统的球探方式被发现的。在他伦敦东部的公园里，他架起手机，拍摄自己进行诸如30秒俯卧撑、10米短跑和侧跳等练习。AiSCOUT的人工智能平台分析了他的运动表现。该平台由数据科学家和顶级球探共同创建，通过标准化测试对球员进行评估，并利用机器学习算法提供即时反馈)”、第二段“‘Clubs had no footage or data to evaluate him again,’ says COO Richard Felton-Thomas. ‘While senior teams use advanced tracking, youth football, even at top academies, lacks good data.’(首席运营官理查德・费尔顿 - 托马斯表示：“俱乐部没有录像或数据来再次评估他。尽管成年队使用先进的追踪技术，但青年足球，甚至是顶级学院的青年足球，都缺乏良好的数据。”)”以及最后一段“AiSCOUT turns subjective talent spotting into measurable analysis, giving more opportunities to players while helping clubs make smarter, data-driven decisions.( AiSCOUT将主观的人才发掘转化为可量化的分析，为球员创造更多机会，同时帮助俱乐部做出更明智、基于数据的决策)”可知，文章主要讲述了AiSCOUT平台利用人工智能技术改变了传统的足球人才发现方式，实现了数据驱动的人才分析。D选项“AI Revolutionizes Football Talent Discovery(人工智能革新足球人才发现)”准确概括了文章主旨，适合用作本文标题。故选D项。 Passage 5 （湖北省武汉市江岸区2023-2024学年高一期末质量检测）Dior clicks a button and watches as her neighborhood is flooded. The shorelines are first to go. 1 By the time seawater reaches the senior center, it has flooded streets and over a dozen brick homes. Dior moves her head up and down, side to side, taking in the simulated (仿真的) view. This is what could happen to Turner Station, a historic African American community southeast of Baltimore, as sea levels rise. Climate change presents many challenges to coastal communities and to those trying to prepare for its impacts, but one of the most basic is also one of the most bothersome: 2 Communicating the realness and immediacy (紧迫) of the climate threat is hugely important to climate researchers and those aiming to cut down what it causes. But it’s also the most important to communities faced with coming changes that are already unavoidable. 3 That’s why Dior and other residents are being directed to sit in metal chairs, put on virtual (模拟) reality（VR） headsets and watch their homes be flooded. 4 It has partnered (合作) with the Port of Baltimore, a few nonprofits and a local landscape architecture firm to adopt (采用) a range of tools and ways to communicate climate change to the public, because every person is different and every place is different. The VR program is only the most recent, and perhaps the most effective step. 5 But tricking people is not the goal of the sea level rise simulation (模拟) being used at Turner Station, says James, one of the program’s developers. “The goal,” he says, “is to start a conversation and help folks visualize (想象) the impacts of climate change and the solutions, and also discuss the trade-offs between them.” A．Then, the baseball fields at Fleming Park. B．For them, public support and input are needed. C．VR is the product of the rapid development of it. D．How do you show people and convince them of a possible future? E．Does the community depend on the shipping industry for its survival? F．Turner Station, a community which gets flooded easily, is trying to prepare. G．VR is an immersive (沉浸式的) experience that can trick the human brain into thinking it’s real. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．F 5．G 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了为了提高居民对气候变化的真实性和即时性的认识，巴尔的摩东南部的一个历史悠久的非洲裔美国人社区运用了虚拟现实技术，帮助人们想象气候变化的影响和解决方案。 1．上文“Dior clicks a button and watches as her neighborhood is flooded. The shorelines are first to go.(Dior单击按钮，看着她的社区被洪水淹没。海岸线是第一个被摧毁的)”提到洪水首先摧毁了海岸线，A项“然后是弗莱明公园的棒球场”说明洪水在摧毁海岸线之后，又毁了棒球场。上文有“first”，A项有“then”，语意连贯，为先后顺序。故选A项。 2．根据上文“Climate change presents many challenges to coastal communities and to those trying to prepare for its impacts, but one of the most basic is also one of the most bothersome(气候变化给沿海社区和那些设法为其影响而做着准备的人带来了许多挑战，但其中最基本也是最麻烦的之一)”可知，空处应是解释最基本也是最麻烦的那个挑战，D项“你如何向人们展示并说服他们相信一个可能的未来”符合语境，故选D项。 3．根据下文“That’s why Dior and other residents are being directed to sit in metal chairs, put on virtual (模拟) reality (VR) headsets and watch their homes be flooded.(这就是为什么Dior和其他居民被要求坐在金属椅子，戴上VR耳机，观看着家园被洪水淹没)”可知，空处应说明居民观看洪水淹没社区的虚拟场景的原因，B项“这些项目需要公众的支持和投入”符合语境，与下文构成因果关系，故选B项。 4．下文“It has partnered (合作) with the Port of Baltimore, a few nonprofits and a local landscape architecture firm to adopt (采用) a range of tools and ways to communicate climate change to the public, because every person is different and every place is different.(它和巴尔的摩港，一些非营利组织和当地的景观建筑公司合作，采用一系列通信工具和通信方式向公众传递气候变化，因为每个人都是不同的，每个地方都是不同的)”描述为向公众传递气候变化而作出的努力，F项“Turner Station, a community which gets flooded easily, is trying to prepare.(Turner Station是一个容易被洪水淹没的社区，正努力做好准备)”符合语境，下文的主语“It”指代F项的“Turner Station”，故选F项。 5．根据上文“The VR program is only the most recent, and perhaps the most effective step.(VR项目只是最近的，也许是最有效的一步)”和下文“But tricking people is not the goal of the sea level rise simulation (模拟) being used at Turner Station, says James, one of the program’s developers.(但是欺骗人们并不是Turner Station使用的海平面上升模拟的目标，James说，他是程序的开发者之一)”可知，上文提到虚拟现实技术是最有效的一步，下文出现转折，表明欺骗不是使用虚拟现实的目标，故空处应是提及虚拟现实的欺骗性，G项“虚拟现实是一种沉浸式的体验，它可以欺骗人类的大脑，使其认为这是真实的”符合语境，虚拟现实虽然具有欺骗性，但运用虚拟现实展示气候变化带来的洪水泛滥场景，不是用来骗人的，而是为了提高居民对气候变化的真实性和即时性的认识。故选G项。 Passage 6 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 DeepSeek is a technology company that focuses on developing advanced artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. 1 (base) in China, the company aims to create intelligent systems that can help businesses and individuals solve complex problems more 2 (efficient).
