One day, when her mother asked her to wash socks, she complained and threw them into the basket, “Why me?” Her mother was cleaning the kitchen floor and answered, “We’re a family, aren’t we?” Mia felt upset. Her friend Emma’s house was always clean because they had a cleaner. “Why don’t we hire a cleaner?” Mia asked. Her mother replied, “Doing chores teaches responsibility (责任).” Last week, Mia’s history teacher gave a project called “Hidden Heroes.” While researching, Mia found a story about Mierle Ukeles, an artist from the 1970s. Ukeles called housework “art” and even cleaned museums to show its importance. Mia was surprised—could chores be special? That weekend, Mia noticed things she had never seen before: her father fixed the sink (水槽), ________, and her brother watered flowers carefully outside. She realized their home needed everyone’s care. For her project, Mia made a video and showed pride in her family’s Saturday chores. She wrote funny titles like “Dad: Fixer and Breakfast Maker” and “Mom: Cleaning Boss.” When she showed the video, her classmates loved it. Emma said, “Maybe chores aren’t so bad.” Now, Mia still doesn’t love washing, but she understands its value. As Ukeles said, “In fact, chores aren’t boring—they keep life going well.” 4.

It’s my pleasure to be here and to tell you the story of how music has had an influence on my life. ②Have you ever faced a time when things looked dark and you had no hope at all? Two years ago, I was told I had a serious disease which was difficult to cure. My body ached all the time and so I thought I didn’t have much longer time to live. I was very afraid and I felt so alone and discouraged. Then one day, I had to go through a two-hour medical treatment. As the doctor wanted me to relax, he had me listen to some music, and one of the songs was Happy. The song made me feel so much better that from then on I began to listen to music all the time. John A. Logan said, “Music is the medicine of the mind.” And it’s true. Music did help me recover (恢复) . ③Music gave me happiness. When I listened to music, it made my spirits fly like a kite in the wind. Music gave me strength and brought me relief. It was the rock I leant on to become strong and to get through those hard times. Moreover, music gave me hope and a sense of satisfaction. It became my best friend. It spoke words of encouragement to the deepest part of my being. ④Of course, I hope none of you have to go through the same kind of problems that I did. At the same time, we all go through different periods when we feel sad or alone. During those times, music can help you in the same way that it helped me. I hope all of you will somehow begin to treasure music and make it a part of your life. Thank you! 8. What happened to Jack Brown two years ago? A. He met a famous musician. B. He had a serious disease. C. He bought a record of Happy. D. He learnt to fly like a kite. 9. Why did the doctor play a music for Jack during the treatment? A. To make him sleep. B. To cure his illness. C. To give him strength. D. To let him feel relaxed. 10. Which can take the place of the underlined word “It”? A. Hope. B. Song. C. Music. D. Treasure 11. How is the passage organized? A. B. C. D. (D) Can you imagine doctors finding illnesses before you feel sick? Do you think it possible for Artificial Intelligence (AI) changing the way of healthcare? As a matter of fact, AI is developing fast and making it possible. Think of AI as a super health detective (侦探) . It can check huge amounts of health information much faster than any person. This helps find hidden patterns and predict illnesses better. For example, AI helps doctors read X-rays and scans super-fast, finding tiny problems early. This means faster help for patients. AI can also be your personal health coach. Smartwatches and health apps use AI to record your sleep, activity, and body signals. They can warn you about possible health risks and give healthy tips. Soon, even a simple, cheap AI eye scan might tell if someone could get diabetes (糖尿病)! AI helps doctors choose the best medicine just for you. By studying your health records and millions of medical studies, AI can predict how well different treatments will work for your body. It also helps scientists discover new drugs faster. AI makes hospitals work better and fairer. It handles boring paperwork, helps doctors diagnose (诊断) faster, and shortens waiting time. Most importantly, AI can bring expert medical knowledge to people living in remote (偏远的) villages with few doctors, using phones or computers. Affordable AI tools mean important health information can reach everyone, everywhere. In all, by using AI safely and fairly, we can build a healthier, smarter, and more equal world for all. The future of health is bright! 12. How does the writer start this article? A. By making comparisons. B. By giving examples. C. By using numbers. D. By asking questions. 13. According to Para. 2, in which order does AI’s “health detective” work? ①Predicting illnesses ②Finding hidden patterns ③Checking health information ④Helping faster diagnosis A. ③→②→①→④ B. ②→①→④→③ C. ①→③→②→④ D. ④→②→③→① 14. In which way does AI make healthcare “fairer”? A. Reducing all hospital costs. B. Arriving at the remote villages. C. Taking the place of human doctors. D. Making all illnesses disappear. 15. What can be the best title of the passage? A. Smartwatches and Future Medicine B. How Doctors Use Technology C. AI Improves Healthcare Greatly D. The Dangers of Artificial Intelligence 第二节 任务型阅读 (共5小题，每小题2分；满分10分) 请阅读以下短文，从所给的A~E五个选项中选出正确选项 (其中一项是多余选项)，将其序号填入第1~4题中，并回答第5小题。 1 Zhouyao Insect Museum in Ningbo is a special place for nature lovers.

It was written by Wu Cheng’en. This great book is regarded as one of China’s Four Great Classical Novels. The main character is Sun Wukong. He can make 72 changes to his shape and size. He is so brave that he uses his magic stick to fight bad people. Sometimes he can hide his stick in his ear. This book has taught us to keep helping others and never to give up. 例文2 I think that The Ordinary world is a fantastic book. It was written by Lu Yao. This great book won the 3rd Mao Dun Literary Award. This novel tells the story of young people in the countryside. They lived a very hard life. But they never gave up and fought for years to make a better life. Their story shows us “Man is not made for defeat.” It means people should always keep trying and never give up easily, no matter how hard life is. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
