The robot told me to calm down and explained that the machine was able to find out 18 dish suited my body most. At the end of the tour, we went to an amusement park. Amazingly, there were no rides at all. 19 , everything was run through virtual reality (虚拟现实). I put on a VR headset and tried the roller coaster. It was so real that I could 20 my clothes wet with sweat (汗) by nervousness. We finally returned to the train station. Just as I got on the train, I heard a familiar (熟悉的) voice.

B To: pasthuman@historymail. org From: futurehuman@timecapsule. com Dear past humans, I am writing to you from the future, a time beyond your imagination. I want to share with you what our world has become and how it differs from the one you live in. Firstly, let me tell you that we have made amazing progress in many areas. Medicine has developed to the point where we have found ways to cure (治愈) almost every disease that once caused pains or troubles. We have learned to use clean, renewable energy sources (来源) and have greatly reduced our harm to the environment. We have also made big progress in AI and space exploration, allowing us to unlock the mysteries of the universe. However, even with all this progress, our world still faces many challenges. The gap ( 差距) between the rich and the poor has grown wider. Some people find it hard to pay for food, medicine, and school supplies, but still try their best to make ends meet by cutting costs wherever they can. Climate (气候) change has led to many natural disasters and forced many people to leave their homes. And while our efforts in AI have shown to be a big step forward, we must be careful to make sure that it does not endanger humanity. But perhaps the most important thing I want to share with you is that we have realized the importance of taking responsibility. We have come to understand that our actions and decisions shape the lives of others and the future of our planet. We are working together to build a more fair world where everyone has chances to get what they need. I hope that you can take these lessons to heart and fight for yourselves and the future. The choices you make today will make a difference to generations (一代人) to come. Let’s work together to build a better tomorrow. A future human ( ) 4. What does the underlined phrase “make ends meet” mean? A. Reach personal goals. B. Pay for daily needs. C. Keep work-life balance. D. Build good relationships with others. ( ) 5. Why should we be careful with AI ? A. To ensure it does not harm humans. B. To prevent AI from controlling the world. C. To avoid depending on AI for climate solutions. D. To stop AI from being used in wrong places. ( ) 6. What is the author’s opinion on the future? A. We should focus more on technology. B. We should take responsibility for our actions. C. We should wait for the next generation to solve the problems. D. We should focus on improving our own lives. C Great changes have taken place in our lives in the last century. Here are some examples: Firstly, people were not able to travel such a long distance in such a short time in the past. Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel. Nowadays, we have fast and comfortable cars, and more and more people can travel by plane. Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools that we have today. Today, machines do most of the difficult and dangerous work. Thirdly, the living conditions in the past were not as good as they are now. There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses, and many people couldn’t buy the things like refrigerators, TV sets or washing machines. Now, most families have several of these things. And many families have computers, cars and so on. Finally, nowadays, more and more people have the chance to get a good education. In the past, there were fewer schools and quality of education was much poorer. Now people can also study on the Internet at home. The development of science and technology in the world is amazing (令人惊异的). Life now is much faster and busier than it used to be. And we are still creating (创造) new things to make our lives better and easier. ( ) 7. What does the underlined word “they” refer to? A. Planes. B. Cars. C. People. D. Children. ( ) 8.

D Have you ever noticed the sidewalks for the blind in everyday life? They are very important to the people who can’t see. Yu Guanbin, a blind man from Shenzhen, showed us the new changes to the sidewalks for the blind in his city. Yu unluckily became blind over 10 years ago. At that time, it was not easy for him to go outside. As there were no sidewalks for the blind in many places across the city, Yu easily got lost. He had to stay at home as much as possible. “However, things have changed a lot recently. Most roads in the city now have sidewalks for the blind. I go to work on foot every day. It only takes me 15 minutes. I can also walk to a nearby bread shop to buy breakfast and take the underground to my friends’ homes on weekends,” said Yu. What’s more, the new sidewalks are more user-friendly. For example, the sidewalks are 30 centimetres to 50 centimetres away from the green plants along the roads. “Such careful design makes us feel safer while walking,” Yu said. “On my way to the office, a new manhole cover (井盖) is also put into use. The sidewalk can lie over the manhole cover, so we don’t need to make a turn like before.” Now, most roads have sidewalks for the blind. However, there are still some problems. Some people misuse the sidewalks by leaving their cars there. Also, blind people need something that can make sound at traffic lights to help them cross the roads. Yu hopes to see more great changes in the future. ( ) 11. What was Yu’s life like over ten years ago? A. He didn’t go out very often. B. He walked to get breakfast every day. C. It was not easy for him to get lost. D. He could go anywhere he wanted. ( ) 12. Which problem is mentioned in the passage? A. There aren’t enough traffic lights for the blind. B. There isn’t enough space to place people’s cars. C. The blind still have difficulty crossing the roads. D. Some blind people don’t know how to use the sidewalks. ( ) 13. How is the passage mainly developed? A. By giving explanations. B. By following the time order. C. By comparing different ideas. D. By providing typical examples. E In 1949, as the first seeds of New China were planted, a group of villagers gathered around a small tree to celebrate the birth of the nation, symbolizing hope for a brighter future. As the years passed, the tree grew, witnessing important moments that shaped the country: the success of the launch of China’s first satellite in 1970, the restart of university entrance exams in 1977 and the reforms and opening-up since 1978. The advancements were the leaves and branches of this tree that defended the nation. By the 1990s, the tree had become strong with its wide and welcoming branches. The return of Hong Kong to the motherland in 1997 greatly made the nation stronger, and more active. As the tree grew, so did the strength of the nation. China’s 2001 WTO entry showed that China combined with the global economy. The Beijing Olympics in 2008 were a moment of national pride. The tree grew alongside China’s urbanization. In 2013, the tree grew even taller, surrounded by more trees. The green policy ensured that the tree would continue to grow. The Belt and Road Initiative brought new global partnerships. As the tree’s branches housed birds and squirrels, the nation reached new heights of prosperity. By 2020, it’s a landmark achievement for China to eradicate absolute poverty. The C919 airplane represents China’s advanced technology. Today, the tree stands tall, deeply rooted in the rich soil of its history, growing ever stronger. Like this enduring tree, New China showcases its resilience, growth and persistent progress toward an even brighter tomorrow. ( ) 14. What does the tree symbolize in the passage? A. The development of New China. B. The growth of a village. C. A kind of plant in China. D. The history of trees. ( ) 15. Which is the correct order? ① The reforms and opening-up. ② The Belt and Road Initiative. ③ The success of the launch of China’s first satellite. ④ The return of Hong Kong to the motherland. A. ③①②④ B. ③②①④ C. ③④①② D. ③①④② ( ) 16. Which event is related to technology development according to the text? A. The Belt and Road Initiative. B. The restart of university entrance exams. C. The return of Hong Kong and the green policy. D. The launch of the first satellite and the C919 airplane. ( ) 17. What can we infer from the text about the future of New China? A. It will have more trees. B. There will be no more events. C. It will continue to develop and progress. D. The nation will become greener and greener. 第二节 阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题 (请注意每小题的词数要求)。 F In early days of history, being a good neighbour was very important. Neighbours helped one another build houses, and clear fields. Families depended on one another for friendship and entertainment. But today in our cities and suburbs, the friendly relationship between neighbours is not common. A family may not even know the other families that live next door to them. In an age of machines, each family may have its own car, TV set, and washing machine. People no longer depend on neighbours as much as they once did. Machines keep people apart in other ways. In our grandparents’ time, women met while they hung out the washing, and men stopped and talked while they mowed ( 割草) the lawns. Today, they cannot hear anything above the noise of their power lawn mowers. And women stay inside with their electrical dryers, which help dry their clothes. Children are inside watching their favourite TV shows. Is the idea of being a good neighbour old-fashioned? In 1965, a power cut hit New York City, and many thousands of people were left helpless. Suddenly, everyone shared the same problem, and the largest city became a group of eight million neighbours. People with cars offered rides to those walking. Other people helped direct traffic. In elevators, people played word games and helped cheer each other up. In times of trouble, people still depend on one another. As time goes on, people may once again feel that being a good neighbour is important. 18. Why do people no longer depend on neighbours as much as they once did? (不超过10 个词) _ 19. What do women use their electrical dryers to do? (不超过5 个词) _ 20. What do you think of being a good neighbour? Why? (不超过15 个词) _ 五、单词拼写。 1.
