He is worried about AI-written books and wants special warnings on them, just like health labels on food packages. Mackay thinks AI could harm new writers and the publishing industry. “It’s already hard for writers to earn money. Now they must compete with AI that knows every book ever written,” he told the BBC. Mackay suggests adding symbols to show if a book is made by humans or AI. For example, labels could say “100% human-made” or “AI-created”. He believes readers should know how much AI helps write a book. This idea comes as the US and UK recently refused to sign an international AI agreement. Some leaders argued strict rules might stop AI’s growth. An American leader said supporting AI development is more important than safety rules right now. Mackay hopes his idea will protect human writers and help people choose books wisely. Many are now discussing how to balance AI’s advantages and disadvantages. 29. Who is Peter Mackay? A. A poet. B. An engineer. C. A programmer. D. A reporter. 30. What does Peter Mackay think AI might harm? A. The health industry. B. The publishing industry. C. The packaging companies. D. The Internet. 31.

The US and UK recently signed an international AI agreement. D. AI has more disadvantages than advantages. 【答案】29. A 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Peter Mackay作为苏格兰诗人，提议给AI生成书籍加标签以保护人类作家和出版业，而部分国家则优先考虑AI发展而非监管。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A famous Scottish poet, Peter Mackay, ”可知，Peter Mackay是一位苏格兰著名诗人。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Mackay thinks AI could harm new writers and the publishing industry.”可知，麦凯认为AI可能伤害新作家和出版业。故选B。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“An American leader said supporting AI development is more important than safety rules right now.”可知，一位美国领导人表示，目前支持AI发展比安全规则更重要。故选A。 C Last month, my best friend Mia moved to another city which is far away from my city because of her father’s job. We promised to stay connected, but I worried the distance would keep us away. Luckily, the Internet became our bridge. One day, our teacher said there would be an online science fair (展会). Teams could work together “online” using video calls and shared documents. In order to keep in touch each other, we decided to join the fair. Every weekend, we set up a time and met in a “virtual (虚拟的) classroom”, discussing ideas for our project “Eco-Friendly Citres”. Mia shared research links, while I designed 3D models using an “online” tool. We typed the proper questions into a search engine to ask for advice. The biggest problem came. Some people attacked my computer nearly two days before the fair. Bravely, I asked for help in our class “chat group”. To my surprise, classmates Inever spoke to encouraged me and they sent me some suggestions in seconds. One lent me a laptop, another helped me get files back from the “cloud”, and Mia finished the final report. On the fair day, our project won first prize. While Mia’s smiling face appeared on the screen during the “online” award ceremony (仪式), I knew the Internet isn’t just about games or social media— it’s a tool that “connects” hearts, turns strangers into helpers, and makes the world feel like a neighborhood with good relationships. 32. Why did Mia move to a new city? A. Because of a science fair. B. Because of her father’s job. C. To make new friends. D. To study science there. 33. What tool did the writer use to design 3D models? A A search engine. B. An“online” tool. C. Video calls. D. Chat rooms. 34. Why did Mia and the writer decide to join the science fair together? A. To win a prize. B. To learn about eco-friendly cities. C. To stay in touch after Mia moved. D. To use new online tools. 35. What is the main idea of the story? A. Technology solves all problems. B. Virtual classrooms are better than real ones. C. Science fairs depend on teamwork. D. The Internet helps connect people and build kindness. 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者的好朋友Mia因为父亲的工作搬到了另一个城市。他们担心距离会疏远关系，但互联网成为了桥梁。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“my best friend Mia moved to another city which is far away from my city because of her father’s job. ”可知，上个月，我最好的朋友Mia搬到了另一个远离我所在城市的城市，因为她父亲的工作。因此，Mia搬家是父亲工作原因。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I designed 3D models using an ‘online’ tool.”可知，我使用一个“在线”工具设计3D模型。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In order to keep in touch each other, we decided to join the fair.”可知，为了保持联系，我们决定参加展会。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“the Internet isn’t just about games or social media—it’s a tool that ‘connects’ hearts, turns strangers into helpers, and makes the world feel like a neighborhood with good relationships.”可知，互联网不仅仅是游戏或社交媒体——它是一个连接心灵、将陌生人变成帮手、让世界感觉像一个有良好关系的社区的工具。选项D“互联网连接人心，建立善良”完美概括了这一主题。故选D。 D Scientists say they have had a “conversation” with a whale. They also say the chat could help them to talk to aliens (外星人) one day. The scientists are from the University of California, the Alaska Whale Foundation, and SETI (Search for Extra-terrestrial Intelligence). The three organizations teamed up and spoke to a humpback whale named Twain. They spoke to her in “humpback language” for 20 minutes. Their conversation took place after the scientists sent a “contact call” into the ocean off the coast of Alaska. Twain heard the call and responded. She swam to the research boat and chatted. SETI said it was the first ever communication between humans and humpback whales. The scientists said their conversation with Twain was not a deep one. Professor Brenda McGowan said it was more like a series of greetings. Whales used contact calls to let other whales know where they were. The scientists made the same call 36 times over a 20-minute period. Each time, Twain responded by calling back. She even matched the intervals (间隔) between each call that the researchers made. Professor McGowan told the Business Insider Web that her research could make it easier to talk to aliens. She said, “There are different kinds of clever animals on the earth. By studying them, we can better understand what an alien’s language might be like because they are not going to be exactly like ours.” 36. What do scientists hope to chat with one day? A. Wild animals. B. Dolphins. C. Some special fish. D. Aliens. 37. What does the underlined word “responded” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Looked forward to somebody. B. Gave an answer to somebody. C. Thought about something. D. Learned from somebody. 38. Why did the scientists say the conversation with Twain was not a deep one? A. Because it was more like a series of greetings. B. Because the scientists didn’t speak to the whale. C. Because the alien didn’t speak. D. Because the whale was not in the deep sea. 39. How many contact calls did the scientists make to the whale? A. 36. B. 35. C. 34. D. 33. 40. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. How to Chat with Whales. B. How to Find an Alien. C. Whales and Aliens. D. The “Talk” with a Whale. 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. A 39. A 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲了科学家同一头座头鲸进行了一次为时20分钟的 “对话”。科学家认为这个研究能帮助人类了解地球上的智慧生物，以便将来有一天能同外星人对话。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They also say the chat could help them to talk to aliens (外星人) one day.”可知，科学家希望有一天可以与外星人取得联系。故选D。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Twain heard the call and responded. She swam to the research boat and chatted.”可知，Twain听到了“呼叫”并游到研究船边并交流；推测可知responed的意思是“回应”；选项B“对某人做出回应”符合responed的意思。故选B。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Professor Brenda McGowan said it was more like a series of greetings. Whales used contact calls to let other whales know where they were.”可知，科学家说这更像是问候。故选A。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The scientists made the same call 36 times over a 20-minute period.”可知，他们在20分钟内发送了36次同样的 “呼叫”。故选A。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了科学家们同一头座头鲸进行了一次为时20分钟的 “对话”。故选D。 第二节 阅读表达(共5题；每题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Cutting the Grass A charity (慈善组织) in the UK is asking people not to cut down the grass in their garden. When spring arrives, many gardeners mow (修剪) their lawns. The activity is part of a project called “No Mow May”. It helps flowers grow wild and insects breed. The purpose of No Mow May is to keep the nature in balance. It is from the charity Plantlife. The charity is also asking people to count the types and number of wild flowers in their garden. Plantlife considers that leaving the grass uncut creates habitats (栖息地) which will help “bees, butterflies, wildlife and us”. Bees are a basic part of nature as they spread flowers. Cutting the grass means there are fewer flowers for bees and other insects to live on. A spokesperson for Plantlife said garden lawns have the possibilities to be “biodiversity hotspots”. Last year, the charity found over 250 kinds of plants on people’s lawns. These included wild strawberries and wild eggplants. Plantlife wants people to value wild lawns more. It said people would get a nice, colorful surprise if they did not cut their grass. One gardener spoke to the BBC about the joy of wild gardens. He said people care too much about having a clean garden and use too much compost. He believes not mowing the lawn lets people reconnect with the natural world. Plantlife agreed. It said a wild garden makes you have more fun instead of your own garden. 41. What is the purpose of No Mow May? _________________________________________ 42. What does cutting the grass in your garden mean? _________________________________________ 43. How many kinds of plants did the charity find on the lawns last year? _________________________________________ 44. What would you get if you don’t cut the grass in your garden? _________________________________________ 45. Do you agree that people should not cut down the grass in the gardens? Why or why not? _________________________________________ 【答案】41. To keep the nature in balance. 42. Cutting the grass means there are fewer flowers for bees and other insects to live on. 43. Over 250 kinds. 44. People would get a nice, colorful surprise. 45. 答案不唯一，合理即可。Yes, I agree. Because not cutting the grass can create habitats for bees, butterflies and other wildlife, help keep nature in balance, and let people reconnect with the natural world. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了英国 “植物生命” 慈善组织发起 “五月不修剪” 项目，呼吁人们不修剪花园草坪，以维持生态平衡、促进生物多样性，并介绍了该项目的相关理念和意义。 【41题详解】 根据“The purpose of No Mow May is to keep the nature in balance.”可知，No Mow May的目的是保持大自然平衡。故填To keep the nature in balance. 【42题详解】 根据“Cutting the grass means there are fewer flowers for bees and other insects to live on.”可知，修剪草坪会导致可供蜜蜂和其他昆虫生存的花卉减少。故填Cutting the grass means there are fewer flowers for bees and other insects to live on. 【43题详解】 根据“Last year, the charity found over 250 kinds of plants on people’s lawns”可知，在人们的草坪上发现了 250 多种植物。故填Over 250 kinds. 【44题详解】 根据“It said people would get a nice, colorful surprise if they did not cut their grass.”可知，如果人们不修剪草坪，就会收获一份美丽又色彩斑斓的惊喜。故填People would get a nice, colorful surprise. 【45题详解】 开放性问题，答案不唯一，合理即可。参考答案为：Yes, I agree.

He is worried about AI-written books and wants special warnings on them, just like health labels on food packages. Mackay thinks AI could harm new writers and the publishing industry. “It’s already hard for writers to earn money. Now they must compete with AI that knows every book ever written,” he told the BBC. Mackay suggests adding symbols to show if a book is made by humans or AI. For example, labels could say “100% human-made” or “AI-created”. He believes readers should know how much AI helps write a book. This idea comes as the US and UK recently refused to sign an international AI agreement. Some leaders argued strict rules might stop AI’s growth. An American leader said supporting AI development is more important than safety rules right now. Mackay hopes his idea will protect human writers and help people choose books wisely Many are now discussing how to balance AI’s advantages and disadvantages. 29. Who is Peter Mackay? A. A poet. B. An engineer. C. A programmer. D. A reporter. 30. What does Peter Mackay think AI might harm? A. The health industry. B. The publishing industry. C. The packaging companies. D. The Internet. 31.

C Last month my best friend Mia moved to another city which is far away from my city because of her father’s job. We promised to stay connected, but I worried the distance would keep us away. Luckily, the Internet became our bridge. One day, our teacher said there would be an online science fair (展会). Teams could work together “online” using video calls and shared documents. In order to keep in touch each other, we decided to join the fair. Every weekend, we set up a time and met in a “virtual (虚拟的) classroom”, discussing ideas for our project “Eco-Friendly Citres”. Mia shared research links, while I designed 3D models using an “online” tool. We typed the proper questions into a search engine to ask for advice. The biggest problem came. Some people attacked my computer nearly two days before the fair. Bravely, I asked for help in our class “chat group”. To my surprise, classmates Inever spoke to encouraged me and they sent me some suggestions in seconds. One lent me a laptop, another helped me get files back from the “cloud”, and Mia finished the final report. On the fair day, our project won first prize. While Mia’s smiling face appeared on the screen during the “online” award ceremony (仪式), I knew the Internet isn’t just about games or social media— it’s a tool that “connects” hearts, turns strangers into helpers, and makes the world feel like a neighborhood with good relationships. 32. Why did Mia move to a new city? A. Because of a science fair. B. Because of her father’s job. C. To make new friends. D. To study science there. 33. What tool did the writer use to design 3D models? A. A search engine. B. An“online” tool. C. Video calls. D. Chat rooms. 34. Why did Mia and the writer decide to join the science fair together? A. To win a prize. B. To learn about eco-friendly cities. C. To stay in touch after Mia moved. D. To use new online tools. 35. What is the main idea of the story? A. Technology solves all problems. B. Virtual classrooms are better than real ones. C. Science fairs depend on teamwork. D. The Internet helps connect people and build kindness. D Scientists say they have had a “conversation” with a whale. They also say the chat could help them to talk to aliens (外星人) one day. The scientists are from the University of California, the Alaska Whale Foundation, and SETI (Search for Extra-terrestrial Intelligence). The three organizations teamed up and spoke to a humpback whale named Twain. They spoke to her in “humpback language” for 20 minutes. Their conversation took place after the scientists sent a “contact call” into the ocean off the coast of Alaska. Twain heard the call and responded. She swam to the research boat and chatted. SETI said it was the first ever communication between humans and humpback whales. The scientists said their conversation with Twain was not a deep one. Professor Brenda McGowan said it was more like a series of greetings. Whales used contact calls to let other whales know where they were. The scientists made the same call 36 times over a 20-minute period. Each time, Twain responded by calling back. She even matched the intervals (间隔) between each call that the researchers made. Professor McGowan told the Business Insider Web that her research could make it easier to talk to aliens. She said, “There are different kinds of clever animals on the earth. By studying them, we can better understand what an alien’s language might be like because they are not going to be exactly like ours.” 36. What do scientists hope to chat with one day? A. Wild animals. B. Dolphins. C. Some special fish. D. Aliens. 37. What does the underlined word “responded” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Looked forward to somebody. B. Gave an answer to somebody. C. Thought about something. D. Learned from somebody. 38. Why did the scientists say the conversation with Twain was not a deep one? A. Because it was more like a series of greetings. B. Because the scientists didn’t speak to the whale. C. Because the alien didn’t speak. D. Because the whale was not in the deep sea. 39. How many contact calls did the scientists make to the whale? A. 36. B. 35. C. 34. D. 33. 40. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A How to Chat with Whales. B. How to Find an Alien. C. Whales and Aliens. D. The “Talk” with a Whale. 第二节 阅读表达(共5题；每题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Cutting the Grass A charity (慈善组织) in the UK is asking people not to cut down the grass in their garden. When spring arrives, many gardeners mow (修剪) their lawns. The activity is part of a project called “No Mow May”. It helps flowers grow wild and insects breed. The purpose of No Mow May is to keep the nature in balance. It is from the charity Plantlife. The charity is also asking people to count the types and number of wild flowers in their garden. Plantlife considers that leaving the grass uncut creates habitats (栖息地) which will help “bees, butterflies, wildlife and us”. Bees are a basic part of nature as they spread flowers. Cutting the grass means there are fewer flowers for bees and other insects to live on. A spokesperson for Plantlife said garden lawns have the possibilities to be “biodiversity hotspots”. Last year, the charity found over 250 kinds of plants on people’s lawns. These included wild strawberries and wild eggplants. Plantlife wants people to value wild lawns more. It said people would get a nice, colorful surprise if they did not cut their grass. One gardener spoke to the BBC about the joy of wild gardens. He said people care too much about having a clean garden and use too much compost. He believes not mowing the lawn lets people reconnect with the natural world. Plantlife agreed. It said a wild garden makes you have more fun instead of your own garden. 41. What is the purpose of No Mow May? _________________________________________ 42. What does cutting the grass in your garden mean? _________________________________________ 43. How many kinds of plants did the charity find on the lawns last year? _________________________________________ 44. What would you get if you don’t cut the grass in your garden? _________________________________________ 45. Do you agree that people should not cut down the grass in the gardens?
