Passage A(2025年1月20日一家中国科技公司推出新AI DeepSeek-R1)
On January 20. 2025, a Chinese technology company made a new AI called DeepSeek-R1. This smart program costs much less to build and it’s free to use. As a result, it’s used not only among adults but teenagers. Recently, we have asked our readers to discuss if students should use AI for their schoolwork.
Andrew, 15
a secondary
school student
We shouldn’t introduce AI into schools. First, some schools wouldn’t be able to afford the latest technology, and that can create an unfair situation for their students. Second, teachers might not know how to make full use of AI programs in their classes. Most importantly, AI just provides us with information while teachers know how to help us take it in.
Lily, 21
a college student
Learning about AI can help prepare for our technology-filled future. Using AI helps students develop critical (批判的) thinking and problem-solving skills. And it`s good for students to know about AI’s advantages and disadvantages early. As long as it’s done well, learning about Al in schools can change society for the better.
Mr Wang, 36
a parent
AI may be good for adults, but it's not wise for kids to depend on it before learning about the basic tasks of education. That’s why schools teach kids handwriting and spelling when most adults type. Kids’ brains need to be exercised to develop, just like their bodies.
Miss Li, 42
a teacher
AI will change the way students learn. Many people fear that it might lead to some trouble, such as cheating (欺骗), but in fact it can guide students through questions instead of directly giving them the answer. It can also work with teachers to create suitable lesson plans so that no students will fall behind in class.
1.Who supports the students in using AI for their schoolwork in the passage?
A.Andrew and Lily B.Andrew and Mr Wang
C.Lily and Miss Li D.Mr Wang and Miss Li
2.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A.DeepSeek-R1 costs much to build and it's expensive to use.
B.AI is very useful, but it has both advantages and disadvantages.
C.AI provides us with information and knows how to help us take it in.
D.No schools teach kids handwriting and spelling now because of AI programs.
3.Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A.A magazine. B.A travel guide. C.A dictionary. D.An advertisement
译文
2025年1月20日,一家中国科技公司推出了一种名为DeepSeek-R1的新人工智能。这个智能程序的建造成本很低,并且免费使用。因此,它不仅在成年人中使用,也在青少年中使用。最近,我们要求读者讨论学生是否应该在学校作业中使用人工智能。
安德鲁,15岁,高中生
我们不应该将人工智能引入学校。首先,一些学校可能无法承担最新的技术,这可能会为他们的学生创造不公平的情况。其次,教师可能不知道如何在课堂上充分利用人工智能程序。最重要的是,人工智能只是为我们提供信息,而教师知道如何帮助我们吸收这些信息。
莉莉,21岁,大学生
了解人工智能可以帮助我们为充满技术的未来做好准备。使用人工智能有助于学生发展批判性思维和解决问题的能力。而且,让学生早些了解人工智能的优点和缺点是有好处的。只要做得好,在学校学习人工智能可以改善社会。
王先生,36岁,家长
人工智能对成年人可能有好处,但让孩子们在了解教育基本任务之前依赖它是不明智的。这就是为什么学校教孩子们写字和拼写,尽管大多数成年人都是打字的。孩子们的大脑需要像身体一样锻炼才能发展。
李老师,42岁,教师
人工智能将改变学生的学习方式。许多人担心它可能导致一些问题,如作弊,但实际上它可以引导学生解答问题而不是直接给出答案。它还可以与教师合作制定合适的课程计划,确保没有学生在课堂上落后。

Passage1
(2025·江苏苏州·中考真题)A medical breakthrough in China is giving new hope to people with spinal cord injuries (脊髓损伤). Scientists have created a brain-spinal chip (芯片) that allows paralyzed (瘫痪的) patients to move their legs, and even walk again.
The chip, only 1mm wide, is designed to be fitted into the brain and spinal cord. If the natural communication between the brain and muscles (肌肉) is lost, this chip becomes the bridge. When the chips work, they create a direct connection between the brain and muscles.
The results have been amazing. A 34-year-old man, paralyzed after a fall, could move his legs just one day after the operation on January 8, 2025. Two weeks later, he walked five meters with help. Three other patients had similar operations in February and March, all getting better within weeks. Even though the patients’ nervous systems were damaged (受损), the chips helped them walk again. This marks a big step in China’s progress in medical science and it brings hope for over 3.7 million people in China.
“This is just the beginning,” Jia, the lead researcher, says. “With the technology, these people may one day leave wheelchairs behind after 3 to 5 years of training.”
Behind this achievement is a long journey of careful research and bold thinking. It took the researchers over 10 years to develop the chip. They tested it on animals first, and then on people. They faced many challenges, yet they never gave up. Step by step, they developed a system to reconnect the mind and body in ways once appearing only in science fiction.
As the chip continues to improve, it lights a new path forward—one built on science, shaped by care, and aimed toward a brighter future.
1.What do we know about the chips mentioned in the passage?
A.They are only as wide as 2 mm. B.They are fitted into the man’s arms.
C.They help the patients walk again. D.They improve the patients’ memory.
2.Which of the following meanings is suitable for the underlined word “bold”?
bold /bəʊld/ adj.
1. PERSON/ACTION not afraid of taking risks and making difficult decisions:
He had the ability to take bold imaginative decisions.
2. COLOURS/SHAPES very strong or bright so that you notice them:
Stripes are bold, bright, and fun to wear.
3. LINES/WRITING written or drawn in a very clear way:
The print should be bold and easy to read.
4. PRINTED LETTERS printed in letters that are darker and thicker than ordinary printed letters:
All the headings are in bold type.

To improve the environment, many countries are developing electric vehicles (EVs电动汽车). Among them, China is taking a leading role and has created the world’s largest EV market according to the Wall Street Journal.
Last year, over 40 percent of the 753,000 EVs sold worldwide were sold in China, more than twice as many as the number sold in the US, according to the International Energy Agency. Chinese drivers are already big fans of EVs. Chinese auto companies including BYD and BAIC (北汽集团) rank among the top in the world in EV sales. “Charging an electric car is cheaper than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas,” said Wu Hao, who bought an electric car from BAIC this year.
However, there are still some problems. It can be hard to find charging piles (充电桩) and the cars can’t go far before needing to be recharged. Some of these problems are being solved. In 2014, China had 31,000 charging piles, according to Xinhua News Agency. Now China has the world’s largest EV charging network, with more than 167,000 charging piles in total, according to the Economic Daily. Developing EVs is one of many efforts China has made to reduce pressure on its environment after the government promised to stop increases in carbon dioxide emissions (二氧化碳排放量) by 2030. “As China goes, so will the world’s auto industry,” the Wall Street Journal said. China has taken a leading role in the world’s electric vehicle industry.
1.According to the article, what role does China play in the global electric vehicle market?
A.The smallest electric vehicle market. B.The largest electric vehicle market.
C.The cheapest electric vehicle market. D.The slowest developing electric vehicle market.
2.How many times more electric vehicles were sold in China compared to the US, according to the article?
A.Half as many. B.The same amount.
C.Twice as many. D.Four times as many.
3.What is one of the benefits of electric cars mentioned by Wu Hao in the article?
A.They are faster than fossil fuel cars.
B.They are more environmentally friendly.
C.Charging them is cheaper than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.

Robotic dogs have become famous online! They carried things and rubbish during tests at Taishan Mountain in, Tai’an, Shandong in late October. At the same time. they also sent voice messages. 1
In 2023, over 8 million people visited Taishan Mountain. 2 But the mountain is rocky and the roads to the mountain are not wide enough, so large machines can’t work there. Cleaners have to carry the rubbish down the mountain on their backs.
This is why the robotic dogs come in! 3 It can also stay balanced and move around things in its way.
4 And the time for adults without carrying anything is about four hours. The robot can work for four to six hours on a full charge (充电).
The successful test of the robotic dogs shows their usefulness under difficult conditions. 5 “We are still in the testing period, and we will further improve the design to start the next round of testing as soon as possible.” Said Jin Da, the marketing manager from the company that built the robot.
A.The team is made up of six members.
B.They created about 24,000 tons of waste.
C.Each dog is able to carry 30 to 40 kilograms of waste.
D.It provides valuable experience and support for future uses.

Passage 4
The oil-paper umbrella has a history of over 1,000 years in China. It used to be a water-proof (防水的) tool for daily use.
There 1 (be) different stories about the umbrella in China. The most popular one is related (与……有关) to Lu Ban. It is 2 (say) that once he and his younger sister visited the West Lake, it started raining suddenly. The sister said, “Let’s have 3 competition. Before the sun 4 (rise) tomorrow, whoever comes up with a way to help people visit the West Lake even on rainy 5 (day) will be the winner.”
Lu Ban thought it was easy. He collected some tools and materials 6 spent the whole night building ten pavilions (凉亭) around that lake. He was proud of 7 (they).
The next morning, however, Lu Ban was surprised to see something unusual in his 8 (sister) hand. It was a round shape while it was opened. It was made of silk and bamboo strips and could be opened and closed 9 (easy). It was light, beautiful and easy to carry. Lu Ban said, “You win. Your ‘pavilion’ can protect us 10 rain.” So the umbrella was invented.
Later people used a much cheaper paper to take the place of silk. To make the umbrella water-proof, people brushed tung oil (桐油) across the surface. That was how the oil-paper umbrella was invented.

人工智能对成年人可能有好处,但让孩子们在了解教育基本任务之前依赖它是不明智的。这就是为什么学校教孩子们写字和拼写,尽管大多数成年人都是打字的。孩子们的大脑需要像身体一样锻炼才能发展。
李老师,42岁,教师
人工智能将改变学生的学习方式。许多人担心它可能导致一些问题,如作弊,但实际上它可以引导学生解答问题而不是直接给出答案。它还可以与教师合作制定合适的课程计划,确保没有学生在课堂上落后。

真题示例
Passage1
(2025·江苏苏州·中考真题)A medical breakthrough in China is giving new hope to people with spinal cord injuries (脊髓损伤). Scientists have created a brain-spinal chip (芯片) that allows paralyzed (瘫痪的) patients to move their legs, and even walk again.
The chip, only 1mm wide, is designed to be fitted into the brain and spinal cord. If the natural communication between the brain and muscles (肌肉) is lost, this chip becomes the bridge. When the chips work, they create a direct connection between the brain and muscles.
The results have been amazing. A 34-year-old man, paralyzed after a fall, could move his legs just one day after the operation on January 8, 2025. Two weeks later, he walked five meters with help. Three other patients had similar operations in February and March, all getting better within weeks. Even though the patients’ nervous systems were damaged (受损), the chips helped them walk again. This marks a big step in China’s progress in medical science and it brings hope for over 3.7 million people in China.
“This is just the beginning,” Jia, the lead researcher, says. “With the technology, these people may one day leave wheelchairs behind after 3 to 5 years of training.”
Behind this achievement is a long journey of careful research and bold thinking. It took the researchers over 10 years to develop the chip. They tested it on animals first, and then on people. They faced many challenges, yet they never gave up. Step by step, they developed a system to reconnect the mind and body in ways once appearing only in science fiction.
As the chip continues to improve, it lights a new path forward—one built on science, shaped by care, and aimed toward a brighter future.
1.What do we know about the chips mentioned in the passage?
A.They are only as wide as 2 mm. B.They are fitted into the man’s arms.
C.They help the patients walk again. D.They improve the patients’ memory.
2.Which of the following meanings is suitable for the underlined word “bold”?
bold /bəʊld/ adj.
1. PERSON/ACTION not afraid of taking risks and making difficult decisions:
He had the ability to take bold imaginative decisions.
2. COLOURS/SHAPES very strong or bright so that you notice them:
Stripes are bold, bright, and fun to wear.
3. LINES/WRITING written or drawn in a very clear way:
The print should be bold and easy to read.
4. PRINTED LETTERS printed in letters that are darker and thicker than ordinary printed letters:
All the headings are in bold type.
(From the dictionary)
A.1. B.2. C.3. D.4.
3.What is the writer’s main reason for writing this passage?
A.To recommend a science story. B.To report a pioneer doctor in medicine.
C.To compare different treatments. D.To introduce a new medical success.
