一、阅读理解
A
Eleven of the world’s languages have at least one hundred million native (本土的) speakers. The biggest are Chinese, English, Spanish, Arabic and Hindi. Next come Portuguese, Bengali, Russian, Japanese, French and German. But the world has about seven thousand languages. As many as half of these may be at risk of disappearing by the end of this century. That would mean one language dies every two weeks.
Members of the Siletz Indian tribe (部落) in Oregon, a northwestern state of America, take pride in their language. Their language, they say, “is as old as time itself.” But today very few people can speak it well.
More than ten thousand words and phrases can be found in the Siletz Online Talking Dictionary. Professor Harrison has posted talking dictionaries for seven other highly endangered languages from around the world. ① Smartphone Apps, YouTube videos and Facebook pages have all become digital (数码的) tools for language experts.
Professor Harrison and the researchers in Oregon have mapped areas of endangered languages. One is the Pacific Northwest in the United States. Others include the upper Amazon basin (亚马孙盆地) in South America, Siberia (西伯利亚) and northern Australia. ②
In Canada’s far north, the Inuit (因纽特) people are trying hard to save their native language, Inuktitut. Part of the effort comes from Microsoft. The company is translating words in its Windows operating system and Office software into Inuktitut. ③
Nowadays so many people spend their whole day sitting in front of a computer. If you’re sitting in front of your computer in English all day, that just improves your English. If you’re now using Inuktitut, that is your language. Microsoft has also worked with language experts in New Zealand, Spain and Wales to translate its software into more different languages, such as Maori, Basque, Catalan and Welsh. ④
1.People of the Siletz Indian tribe are proud of their language because ______.
A.it has a long history B.it was created in Northwest America

2.Which of the following statement might the writer agree with?
A.The number of native speakers using Russian is bigger than that of Hindi.
B.No more than 3,000 may be at risk of disappearing by the end of this century.
C.Inuktitut may be protected better in the future with the help of Microsoft.
D.Microsoft has translated Inuktitut into Maori, Basque, Portuguese and Welsh.
3.Where can we put “He says technology can spread the influence of major languages but also help save endangered ones.” most probably?
A.① B.② C.③ D.④
4.According to the passage and the map below, which can represent the areas of endangered languages?
A.①②③ B.①②④ C.②③④ D.①③④
5.What is the text mainly about?
A.Efforts made to find endangered languages.

Now in countries like the USA, more and more children seem to get lost in a “sea of digital technology (数字技术)”. As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their ability to do simple things. They can’t make toys themselves with hands or help Mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others.
“I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the increasing numbers of young pupils who can play with computers or smartphones, but have few or no skills to make things.” said a teacher. “Many pupils can’t communicate with other pupils but their parents talk proudly of their ability to use a computer or a smartphone.”
Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet (平板电脑) at weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist if he doesn’t learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn’t learn to communicate with others at a young age?
We can use a stone to either break a window or build a house. Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We shouldn’t blame the children. We should help them make right choices. It is certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today’s world, but more importantly, we should encourage them to develop social abilities which will do them good when they grow up.
1.According to paragraph 1, what’s the worst problem?
A.Children can’t make things themselves.
B.Children make too many friends online.
C.Children don’t want to communicate with others.
D.Children don’t like helping Mum cook meals at home.
2.According to the teacher, which of the following is TRUE?
A.Teachers don’t notice that young pupils have few skills to make things.
B.Many parents are very proud that their kids can use digital technology.
C.Many teachers don’t care if young pupils can play computers or tablets.
D.Some parents are worried that their kids use digital technology too much.
3.What do many young children choose to do at weekends and after school?
A.To play on a tablet indoors. B.To paint with their paintbrushes.
C.To play with other children. D.To make friends with other children.
4.What does the underlined word “blame” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?
A.表扬 B.原谅 C.评价 D.责怪
5.What does the writer mainly want to tell us?
A.It’s very important for children to develop social skills.
B.It’s very helpful for children to learn to use digital technology.
C.It’s necessary for parents to communicate with their children.
D.It’s difficult for teachers to make right choices for their pupils.
C
Life for the old is changing quickly because of technology. While some find joy in these changes, others face difficulties.
Many seniors are discovering fun ways to use technology. Free online classes let them learn painting, gardening, or even how to use smartphones. For example, 72-year-old Grandma Zhang recently learned to make digital (数字的) birthday cards for her grandchildren. Video apps like WeChat help families stay connected. “I see my grandson’s face every day though he studies abroad,” said Mr. Li, 68, with a smile. Smartwatches are also popular—they check heart rates and remind users to take medicine. Some hospitals even let patients talk to doctors online, saving time for those who have trouble walking.
However, not everything is easy. About 40% of people over 65 say technology changes too fast. Many have a hard time with small phone text, forget passwords, or worry about online tricks. “I once lost 500 yuan on my phone. Now I’m scared to use my phone,” shared Auntie Wang.
To help, communities are taking action. Young volunteers teach seniors how to use phones safely every weekend. In Beijing, a 16-year-old boy named Xiaoming became a “tech-teacher” for his neighbors. “Mr. Chen learned to send emojis (表情)! He sends me a thumbs-up after each lesson,” Xiaoming said proudly. The government also opened special “tech-cafes” with large-screen computers and friendly guides.
As 5G networks reach more places, even villages are joining the digital age. The key is to make technology kind to people of all ages. After all, today’s young “phone experts” will one day be seniors (较年长者) too. By working together, every age can enjoy the benefits of a connected world. Digital life not only brings us joy but also prepares us for future jobs. Many jobs today require computer and internet skills. So, let’s enjoy digital life wisely, stay safe, and keep a balance.This way, we can make the most of it and be ready for the future.

Information will soon be so easy to find on the internet that people will not need to remember anything. Do you agree?
Nowadays all the information we could ever need is available online and some people say that means the end of having to learn anything.
It is true that those days everything you want to know is a few clicks away as long as you have internet access.
1 , not everyone has working internet all the time, for example in certain buildings or remote locations, so we do need to be able to remember information.
Moreover, it takes time to look up everything you need to know online, while remembering something is 2 . The human memory is a much more efficient system.
Another problem is the 3 of the information online. How do we know if it is accurate or reliable? We need to think about other facts we know and remember how to 4 information from different websites. Knowing (and remembering) how to find certain information will be more important than knowing the information itself.
Finally, the internet is a good tool but it cannot take the place of our 5 . If we did not remember anything, we would all spend even more time on our phones and computers than we already do, which is not good for society.
In conclusion, the internet offers us many things but it is still important to use our knowledge and memories. We need our memories to function without the internet and we also need to know how to use the internet 6 .

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 pop-ups 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.

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.

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 e-commerce (乡村电子商务) grows. Selling fresh fruit and vegetables to cities is faster.

However, 4 student, Ji Xiang is against it. He says, “As far as I know, boys are crazy about 5 (play) games together on the internet while girls love to chat happily online for long. It’s the 6 (bad) for their eyes, and we know that it 7 (lead) too many health problems so far. But even so, their parents won’t find out 8 they think their kids are doing right things.

Being 4 volunteer for cultural projects isn’t easy. It requires both tech skills and artistic understanding. Many find it harder than expected, because some elderly artists rejected to use digital tools at the beginning.

They 7 (raise) over 500,000 yuan through online donation since 2023.
Part of the funds goes to helping artists who feel 8 (loneliness) in modern society. Recently, a livestream (直播) attracted one million 9 (view), proving that traditional arts can shine in new forms.

Eleven of the world’s languages have at least one hundred million native (本土的) speakers. The biggest are Chinese, English, Spanish, Arabic and Hindi. Next come Portuguese, Bengali, Russian, Japanese, French and German. But the world has about seven thousand languages. As many as half of these may be at risk of disappearing by the end of this century. That would mean one language dies every two weeks.
Members of the Siletz Indian tribe (部落) in Oregon, a northwestern state of America, take pride in their language. Their language, they say, “is as old as time itself.” But today very few people can speak it well.
More than ten thousand words and phrases can be found in the Siletz Online Talking Dictionary. Professor Harrison has posted talking dictionaries for seven other highly endangered languages from around the world. ① Smartphone Apps, YouTube videos and Facebook pages have all become digital (数码的) tools for language experts.
Professor Harrison and the researchers in Oregon have mapped areas of endangered languages. One is the Pacific Northwest in the United States. Others include the upper Amazon basin (亚马孙盆地) in South America, Siberia (西伯利亚) and northern Australia. ②

【答案】1.A 2.C 3.A 4.B 5.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了现代技术对濒危语言的影响。
1.细节理解题。根据“Their language, they say, ‘is as old as time itself.’”可知,Siletz印第安部落的人为他们的语言感到骄傲,因为他们的语言历史悠久。故选A。
2.推理判断题。根据“The company is translating words in its Windows operating system and Office software into Inuktitut.”可知,微软正在将其Windows操作系统和Office软件中的单词翻译成因纽特语,这有助于保护和推广这种濒危语言。因此,作者可能会同意在微软的帮助下,因纽特语可能会得到更好的保护。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据“Smartphone Apps, YouTube videos and Facebook pages have all become digital (数码的) tools for language experts.”和“He says technology can spread the influence of major languages but also help save endangered ones.”可知,数字工具对语言专家有帮助,并进一步阐述了技术不仅可以传播主要语言的影响力,还可以帮助拯救濒危语言。因此,这句话最适合放在①处,作为对前文数字工具帮助语言专家的进一步说明和补充。故选A。
4.推理判断题。根据“Professor Harrison and the researchers in Oregon have mapped areas of endangered languages. One is the Pacific Northwest in the United States. Others include the upper Amazon basin (亚马孙盆地) in South America, Siberia (西伯利亚) and northern Australia.”可知,濒危语言的地区包括美国的太平洋西北部、南美洲的亚马孙盆地上游、西伯利亚和澳大利亚北部。根据地图信息,①代表南美洲的亚马孙盆地上游,②代表澳大利亚北部,④代表美国的太平洋西北部,而③属于非洲,并不代表任何濒危语言地区。因此,能代表濒危语言地区的选项是①②④。故选B。
5.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了现代技术对濒危语言的影响,包括数字工具如何帮助语言专家保护和推广濒危语言,以及科技公司如何与语言专家合作,将其软件翻译成更多不同的语言。故选D。

Now in countries like the USA, more and more children seem to get lost in a “sea of digital technology (数字技术)”. As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their ability to do simple things. They can’t make toys themselves with hands or help Mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others.
“I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the increasing numbers of young pupils who can play with computers or smartphones, but have few or no skills to make things.” said a teacher. “Many pupils can’t communicate with other pupils but their parents talk proudly of their ability to use a computer or a smartphone.”

How can a child grow up to be a very good artist if he doesn’t learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn’t learn to communicate with others at a young age?
We can use a stone to either break a window or build a house. Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We shouldn’t blame the children. We should help them make right choices. It is certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today’s world, but more importantly, we should encourage them to develop social abilities which will do them good when they grow up.

Life for the old is changing quickly because of technology. While some find joy in these changes, others face difficulties.
Many seniors are discovering fun ways to use technology. Free online classes let them learn painting, gardening, or even how to use smartphones. For example, 72-year-old Grandma Zhang recently learned to make digital (数字的) birthday cards for her grandchildren. Video apps like WeChat help families stay connected. “I see my grandson’s face every day though he studies abroad,” said Mr. Li, 68, with a smile. Smartwatches are also popular—they check heart rates and remind users to take medicine. Some hospitals even let patients talk to doctors online, saving time for those who have trouble walking.
However, not everything is easy. About 40% of people over 65 say technology changes too fast. Many have a hard time with small phone text, forget passwords, or worry about online tricks. “I once lost 500 yuan on my phone. Now I’m scared to use my phone,” shared Auntie Wang.
To help, communities are taking action. Young volunteers teach seniors how to use phones safely every weekend. In Beijing, a 16-year-old boy named Xiaoming became a “tech-teacher” for his neighbors. “Mr. Chen learned to send emojis (表情)! He sends me a thumbs-up after each lesson,” Xiaoming said proudly. The government also opened special “tech-cafes” with large-screen computers and friendly guides.
As 5G networks reach more places, even villages are joining the digital age. The key is to make technology kind to people of all ages. After all, today’s young “phone experts” will one day be seniors (较年长者) too. By working together, every age can enjoy the benefits of a connected world. Digital life not only brings us joy but also prepares us for future jobs. Many jobs today require computer and internet skills. So, let’s enjoy digital life wisely, stay safe, and keep a balance.This way, we can make the most of it and be ready for the future.

Information will soon be so easy to find on the internet that people will not need to remember anything. Do you agree?
Nowadays all the information we could ever need is available online and some people say that means the end of having to learn anything.
It is true that those days everything you want to know is a few clicks away as long as you have internet access.
1 , not everyone has working internet all the time, for example in certain buildings or remote locations, so we do need to be able to remember information.
Moreover, it takes time to look up everything you need to know online, while remembering something is 2 . The human memory is a much more efficient system.
Another problem is the 3 of the information online. How do we know if it is accurate or reliable? We need to think about other facts we know and remember how to 4 information from different websites. Knowing (and remembering) how to find certain information will be more important than knowing the information itself.
Finally, the internet is a good tool but it cannot take the place of our 5 . If we did not remember anything, we would all spend even more time on our phones and computers than we already do, which is not good for society.
In conclusion, the internet offers us many things but it is still important to use our knowledge and memories. We need our memories to function without the internet and we also need to know how to use the internet 6 .

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.

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.

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.

8.句意:但即使如此,他们的父母也不会发现,如果他们认为自己的孩子做的是正确的事情。根据“their parents won’t find out…they think their kids are doing right things”可知,此处表示假设的条件,如果父母认为孩子做的是对的,他们就不会发现,因此用连词“if”引导条件状语从句。故填if。
9.句意:其次,青少年不能轻易离开手机。根据“teenagers can’t part…mobile phones”可知,此处用固定搭配“part with sth”表示“与某物分开”。故填with。
