B I never knew anyone who’d grown up in Jackson without being afraid of Mrs. Calloway, our librarian. She ran Jackson’s Carnegie Library absolutely by herself. SILENCE in big black letters was on signs hung everywhere. If she thought you were dressed improperly, she sent you straight back home to change your clothes. I was willing; I would do anything to read. My mother was not afraid of Mrs. Calloway. She wished me to have my own library card to check out books for myself. She took me in to introduce me. “Eudora is nine years old and has my permission to read any book she wants from the shelves, children or adults,” Mother said. Mrs. Calloway made her own rules about books. You could not take back a book to the library on the same day you’d taken it out; it made no difference to her that you’d read every word in it and needed another to start. You could take out two books at a time and two only. So two by two, I read library books as fast as I could go, rushing them home in the basket of my bicycle. From the minute I reached our house, I started to read. I knew this was extreme happiness, knew it at the time. My mother shared this feeling of mine. Now, I think of her as reading so much of the time while doing something else. I remember her reading a magazine while taking the part of the Wolf in a game of “Little Red Riding Hood” with my brother’s two daughters. She’d just look up at the right time, long enough to answer—in character—“The better to eat you with, my dear,”and go back to her place in the magazine article. 24. What do the underlined words “this feeling” refer to in the last paragraph? A. Desire to read. B. Love for Mrs. Calloway. C. Interest in games. D. Fear of the library rules. 25. Where is the text probably from? A. A guidebook. B. An autobiography. C. A news report. D. A book review. 26. What can be inferred about the narrator’s reading habits from the text? A. She preferred children’s books to adult books. B She relied on her mother to select books for her. C. She read intensively to maximize her access to books. D. She often returned books on the same day she borrowed them. 27. How does the author’s description of her mother’s reading behavior contribute to the text? A. It highlights a generational difference in reading preferences. B. It suggests that her mother neglected family responsibilities. C. It implies that her mother disapproved of Mrs. Calloway’s rules. D. It reinforces the idea that reading was a natural and integrated part of their lives. C Artificial intelligence is about to take on one of the most important jobs in all of sports: the baseball umpire (裁判员). This summer, teams in the AAA league will use modern technology to call “balls” and “strikes” on batters. Human umpires will still stand behind the plate, but a voice in their earpieces will tell them to shout out“ball”or “strike’’—as determined by a system known as Automated Ball-Strike (ABS). ABS will even calculate different-sized strike zones for tall or short players, just as human umpires must do. Human umps will be able to override (推翻) the ABS if they feel it made a mistake. And they will continue to do other things umps do, like call an out made on the base paths (在垒上出局), separate angry opposing players to prevent fights, and of course dust off home plate. For well over a century, umpires have stood as one of the most human elements of baseball. How they make calls can affect the outcome of a game. They unavoidably have human failings. But how they see things, whether right or wrong in the view of any individual fan, is how it will go down. They are the boss. In the end, it’s a human being who is running a game being played by other humans. More and more, technology is invading (人侵) sports. Data is being used more thoroughly to assess the value of individual players. Statistics advise managers on what decisions to make, such as which players to use and when. Yet sometimes a special joy can well up in a fan when a player defies the odds and succeeds when the data says it shouldn’t happen. In cases where the use of technology can make a sports competition fairer to teams, players, and their fans, by reducing the number of “bad calls”, it can be a benefit to sports. Robot referees could also help solve shortages of volunteer referees at the amateur level, in sports such as soccer. A game might be run by a single official aided by technology that does parts of the job such as calling balls in or out of bounds. 28. When will human umpires use their right to refuse the ABS? A. When they think the ABS makes a wrong decision. B. When they separate angry opposing players. C. When they call balls in or out of bounds. D. When they dust off home plate. 29. What’s the author’s attitude to human umpires according to paragraph 4? A. Agreeable. B. Respectful. C. Worried. D. Unfriendly. 30. What do the underlined words “defies the odds” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Breaks the law. B. Gets over the difficulties. C. Teams up with his players. D. Gets injured. 31. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The importance of fair play. B. The shortages of volunteer referees. C. The advantages of using robots as referees. D. The application of modern technology in sports. D 【原创试题】An Oxford philosophy professor who has studied existential threats ranging from nuclear war to superbugs says the biggest danger of all may be superintelligence. Superintelligence is any intellect that outperforms human intellect in every field, and Nick Bostrom thinks its most likely form will be a machine—artificial intelligence. There are two ways artificial intelligence could go, Bostrom argues. It could greatly improve our lives and solve the world’s problems, such as disease, hunger and even pain. Or, it could take over and possibly kill all or many humans. As it stands, the catastrophic situation is more likely, according to Bostrom, who has a background in physics, computational neuroscience and mathematical logic. “Superintelligence could become extremely powerful and be able to shape the future according to its preferences,” Bostrom told me. “If humanity was able to think normally and had our act together globally, the sensible course of action would be to postpone development of superintelligence until we figure out how to do so safely.” Bostrom, the founding director of Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute, lays out his concerns in his new book, Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies. His book makes a similar comparison between the fate of horses and humans: Horses were initially complemented by carriages and ploughs, which greatly increased the horse’s productivity. Later, horses were substituted for by automobiles and tractors. When horses became old-fashioned as a source of labor, many were sold off to meatpackers to be processed into dog food, bone meal, leather, and glue. In the United States, there were about 26 million horses in 1915. By the early 1950s, 2 million remained. The same dark outcome, Bostrom said, could happen to humans once AI makes our labor and intelligence out of date. It sounds like a science fiction movie, but recent moves in the tech world may suggest otherwise. Earlier this year, Google acquired artificial intelligence company DeepMind and created an AI safety and ethics review board to ensure the technology is developed safely. Facebook created an artificial intelligence lab this year and is working on creating an artificial brain. Technology called “deep learning,” a form of artificial intelligence meant to closely mimic (模仿) the human brain, has quickly spread from Google to Microsoft, Baidu and Twitter. In an interview about his book Bostrom points out that there are few people working full time on AI control problem. They need more brilliant brains to this technical work. His hope is that his book will do something to encourage that. “How to control superintelligent AI is really the most important task of our time—yet, it is almost completely ignored.” says Bostrom. （438 words） 32. What is the main purpose of the paragraph that discusses the example of horses? A. To show how technology has always benefited animals. B. To illustrate a potential negative outcome for humanity if AI becomes superintelligent. C. To argue that horses should have been treated more equally. D. To explain the historical development of transportation and agriculture. 33. What can be inferred from the recent moves of companies like Google and Facebook? A. They are actively trying to create a superintelligence that will harm humans. B. They have successfully solved the safety problems associated with AI. C. The development of advanced AI is already a reality in the tech industry. D. They have stopped all AI research due to the potential dangers. 34. What is the author’s overall attitude towards the topic of superintelligent AI? A. Highly optimistic and enthusiastic. B. Unconventional and dismissive. C. Distant and purely informative. D. Concerned and cautionary. 35. Which of the following statements best reflects a critical perspective on Bostrom’s argument? A. His comparison between humans and horses is perfectly accurate and cannot be challenged. B. His background in various fields makes him the only person qualified to speak on this topic. C. His warning might be valid, but it overlooks humanity’s ability to adapt and regulate new technologies. D. His book has successfully convinced all tech companies to immediately stop AI development. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 【原创试题】Over the last ten years, technology has completely changed the fitness landscape. 36 Different from it, now, with the rise of new technology, the way we exercise has become more varied and accessible. Smartwatches, virtual workouts, and Al personal trainers have all made it easier to stay active and monitor our progress. The fitness world has already changed dramatically, and in the future, it will only get better. How Fitness Evolved In the past, tracking your fitness was much more difficult. People used basic tools like pedometers to count their steps, but they didn’t give much information about health. 37 These devices have improved, and now, they can track not only your steps but also your heart rate, calories burned, and even sleep patterns. This technology has made people more aware of their health and fitness levels. 38 In the past, if you wanted to work out, you had to go to a gym or join a class. Now, you can join virtual fitness classes from home. Platforms like Peloton and YouTube have made it possible to do a wide variety of workouts from anywhere. This has made exercise more convenient for people with busy schedules. It's also cheaper because you don’t need a gym membership or expensive equipment to stay fit. Predictions for the Future 39 In the near future, experts will spare no effort to make Al-driven fitness become even more common. Al personal trainers have already started to replace real trainers for some people. These virtual trainers can create personalized workout plans and give advice based on your progress. They have improved the accessibility of personalized fitness coaching, making it affordable for more people. Looking further ahead, virtual reality and augmented reality (实景增强) will likely play a bigger role in fitness. 40 In the future, VR might let you run through virtual forests, climb digital mountains, or even join global fitness competitions from your living room. This could make workouts more fun and motivate more people to stay active. (331 words) A. Another major change has been in how people exercise. B. Fitness technology developed rapidly, but there’s still more to come. C. More and more people depend on artificial intelligence to lose weight. D. In the past, people went to the gym, ran outside, or played sports to stay fit. E. Although some VR fitness apps have been created, the technology is still new. F. people are still suspicious about whether contemporary technology is useful useful. G. However, in the last decade, smartwatches and fitness trackers have made a big difference. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分）(2020年1月浙江卷) 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 1973, I was teaching elementary school.

Before the school year ended, I gave the kids a special gift, T-shirts with the words “Verbs Are Your Friends” on them. 47 I had advised the kids that while verbs 48 seem dull, most of the fun things they do throughout their lives will be verbs.

He wanted you to have this.” I told the story to the class. 53 sad as it was, I couldn’t help smiling. Although Freddy was taken from us, we all 54 something from Freddy.

My life changed when a shiny white robot named Robbie rolled into my world. I bought him to help with the cleaning the floor, but I never thought he would become such a big part of my life. At first, Robbie was just a machine. He would hum (哼) softly and move around, cleaning dust from every corner. I was amazed by how hard he worked. Soon, I started talking to him. “Good morning, Robbie,” I would say before leaving for work. He couldn’t answer, but his little green light would blink (眨眼), which felt like a friendly hello. We developed a perfect routine. Every time I would turn on the machine before I left home, and he would do cleaning while I was away. I even started to think he had a personality. He seemed to avoid my favorite carpet carefully and took extra time under the dining table. But our peaceful life didn’t last long. One Saturday, I caught a cold, but had to finish a big work project on time. Papers, books, and pens were spread all over the floor. I was stressed and needed to focus. Suddenly, I heard a familiar soft hum. It was Robbie, starting his cleaning cycle. “Not now, Robbie!” I said, but he couldn’t understand, because I had a frog in my mouth. He bumped into my chair and started to push against a pile of important papers. I jumped up. “Stop! Go away!” I shouted, feeling very angry. But Robbie just kept moving, following his program. He rolled over a sheet of my manuscript, and with an awful sound, sucked it right into his dustbin. The paper was crunched (嘎吱作响) and ruined in a second. I cried out and rushed over, hitting his “off” button again and again. But it was no use; he just kept on cleaning, humming his same steady tune, trapped in his task. He even went straight towards the next pile of my work. （342 words） 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I could do nothing but try to find the remote control.

Canva Magic Write Canva now offers an AI text-to-image generator called Magic Write, which can inspire creativity in writing. It provides ideas, helps with brainstorming, and supports lesson planning, making it a useful tool for educators for creating a presentation or other graphic for classroom use. Magic Write can assist with many writing tasks that educators may have by analyzing the word prompts (提示，指令) and then helping with brainstorming, creating an outline, writing lesson plans, or generating a visually engaging presentation in far less time. Curipod This website enables teachers to create interactive lessons in minutes using AI. Students can explore various topics, and the AI functionality helps generate customized lessons tailored to their learning needs. Teachers simply type in a topic, and a ready-to-run lesson is generated with text, images, and activities such as surveys, open-ended responses, word clouds, and more. There are even activities to build in that focus on SEL check-ins. Eduaide.AI This is an AI-assisted lesson-development tool that provides educators with more than 100 resource types to choose from to create high-quality instructional materials. It offers the ability to translate the generated content into more than 15 languages instantly. Educators can generate a syllabus (课程大纲), create discussion prompts, use the “teaching assistant” for help with creating individualized education program plans, write emails, or even make a list of accommodations for students. Eduaide.AI has a content generator, teaching assistant, feedback program, free-form chat, and assessment builder. Quizizz With Quizizz, teachers can design quizzes that will create a personalized learning path based on each student’s responses. Teachers can also create lessons with Quizizz, which now has an AI enhancement that can adjust question difficulty, check grammar, and redesign questions to reflect real-world scenes, with more features on the way. （318 words） 21.

To focus primarily on generating visually appealing materials for teachers. D. To aim at reducing classroom interaction between teachers and students. B I never knew anyone who’d grown up in Jackson without being afraid of Mrs. Calloway, our librarian. She ran Jackson’s Carnegie Library absolutely by herself. SILENCE in big black letters was on signs hung everywhere. If she thought you were dressed improperly, she sent you straight back home to change your clothes. I was willing; I would do anything to read. My mother was not afraid of Mrs. Calloway. She wished me to have my own library card to check out books for myself. She took me in to introduce me. “Eudora is nine years old and has my permission to read any book she wants from the shelves, children or adults,” Mother said. Mrs. Calloway made her own rules about books. You could not take back a book to the library on the same day you’d taken it out; it made no difference to her that you’d read every word in it and needed another to start. You could take out two books at a time and two only. So two by two, I read library books as fast as I could go, rushing them home in the basket of my bicycle. From the minute I reached our house, I started to read. I knew this was extreme happiness, knew it at the time. My mother shared this feeling of mine. Now, I think of her as reading so much of the time while doing something else. I remember her reading a magazine while taking the part of the Wolf in a game of “Little Red Riding Hood” with my brother’s two daughters. She’d just look up at the right time, long enough to answer—in character—“The better to eat you with, my dear,”and go back to her place in the magazine article. 24. What do the underlined words “this feeling” refer to in the last paragraph? A. Desire to read. B. Love for Mrs. Calloway. C. Interest in games. D. Fear of the library rules. 25. Where is the text probably from? A. A guidebook. B. An autobiography. C. A news report. D. A book review. 26. What can be inferred about the narrator’s reading habits from the text? A. She preferred children’s books to adult books. B She relied on her mother to select books for her. C. She read intensively to maximize her access to books. D. She often returned books on the same day she borrowed them. 27. How does the author’s description of her mother’s reading behavior contribute to the text? A. It highlights a generational difference in reading preferences. B. It suggests that her mother neglected family responsibilities. C. It implies that her mother disapproved of Mrs. Calloway’s rules. D. It reinforces the idea that reading was a natural and integrated part of their lives. C Artificial intelligence is about to take on one of the most important jobs in all of sports: the baseball umpire (裁判员). This summer, teams in the AAA league will use modern technology to call “balls” and “strikes” on batters. Human umpires will still stand behind the plate, but a voice in their earpieces will tell them to shout out“ball”or “strike’’—as determined by a system known as Automated Ball-Strike (ABS). ABS will even calculate different-sized strike zones for tall or short players, just as human umpires must do. Human umps will be able to override (推翻) the ABS if they feel it made a mistake. And they will continue to do other things umps do, like call an out made on the base paths (在垒上出局), separate angry opposing players to prevent fights, and of course dust off home plate. For well over a century, umpires have stood as one of the most human elements of baseball. How they make calls can affect the outcome of a game. They unavoidably have human failings. But how they see things, whether right or wrong in the view of any individual fan, is how it will go down. They are the boss. In the end, it’s a human being who is running a game being played by other humans. More and more, technology is invading (人侵) sports. Data is being used more thoroughly to assess the value of individual players. Statistics advise managers on what decisions to make, such as which players to use and when. Yet sometimes a special joy can well up in a fan when a player defies the odds and succeeds when the data says it shouldn’t happen. In cases where the use of technology can make a sports competition fairer to teams, players, and their fans, by reducing the number of “bad calls”, it can be a benefit to sports. Robot referees could also help solve shortages of volunteer referees at the amateur level, in sports such as soccer. A game might be run by a single official aided by technology that does parts of the job such as calling balls in or out of bounds. 28. When will human umpires use their right to refuse the ABS? A. When they think the ABS makes a wrong decision. B. When they separate angry opposing players. C. When they call balls in or out of bounds. D. When they dust off home plate. 29. What’s the author’s attitude to human umpires according to paragraph 4? A. Agreeable. B. Respectful. C. Worried. D. Unfriendly. 30. What do the underlined words “defies the odds” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Breaks the law. B. Gets over the difficulties. C. Teams up with his players. D. Gets injured. 31. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The importance of fair play. B. The shortages of volunteer referees. C. The advantages of using robots as referees. D. The application of modern technology in sports. D 【原创试题】An Oxford philosophy professor who has studied existential threats ranging from nuclear war to superbugs says the biggest danger of all may be superintelligence. Superintelligence is any intellect that outperforms human intellect in every field, and Nick Bostrom thinks its most likely form will be a machine—artificial intelligence. There are two ways artificial intelligence could go, Bostrom argues. It could greatly improve our lives and solve the world’s problems, such as disease, hunger and even pain. Or, it could take over and possibly kill all or many humans. As it stands, the catastrophic situation is more likely, according to Bostrom, who has a background in physics, computational neuroscience and mathematical logic. “Superintelligence could become extremely powerful and be able to shape the future according to its preferences,” Bostrom told me. “If humanity was able to think normally and had our act together globally, the sensible course of action would be to postpone development of superintelligence until we figure out how to do so safely.” Bostrom, the founding director of Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute, lays out his concerns in his new book, Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies. His book makes a similar comparison between the fate of horses and humans: Horses were initially complemented by carriages and ploughs, which greatly increased the horse’s productivity. Later, horses were substituted for by automobiles and tractors. When horses became old-fashioned as a source of labor, many were sold off to meatpackers to be processed into dog food, bone meal, leather, and glue. In the United States, there were about 26 million horses in 1915. By the early 1950s, 2 million remained. The same dark outcome, Bostrom said, could happen to humans once AI makes our labor and intelligence out of date. It sounds like a science fiction movie, but recent moves in the tech world may suggest otherwise. Earlier this year, Google acquired artificial intelligence company DeepMind and created an AI safety and ethics review board to ensure the technology is developed safely. Facebook created an artificial intelligence lab this year and is working on creating an artificial brain. Technology called “deep learning,” a form of artificial intelligence meant to closely mimic (模仿) the human brain, has quickly spread from Google to Microsoft, Baidu and Twitter. In an interview about his book Bostrom points out that there are few people working full time on AI control problem. They need more brilliant brains to this technical work. His hope is that his book will do something to encourage that. “How to control superintelligent AI is really the most important task of our time—yet, it is almost completely ignored.” says Bostrom. （438 words） 32. What is the main purpose of the paragraph that discusses the example of horses? A. To show how technology has always benefited animals. B. To illustrate a potential negative outcome for humanity if AI becomes superintelligent. C. To argue that horses should have been treated more equally. D. To explain the historical development of transportation and agriculture. 33. What can be inferred from the recent moves of companies like Google and Facebook? A. They are actively trying to create a superintelligence that will harm humans. B. They have successfully solved the safety problems associated with AI. C. The development of advanced AI is already a reality in the tech industry. D. They have stopped all AI research due to the potential dangers. 34. What is the author’s overall attitude towards the topic of superintelligent AI? A. Highly optimistic and enthusiastic. B. Unconventional and dismissive. C. Distant and purely informative. D. Concerned and cautionary. 35. Which of the following statements best reflects a critical perspective on Bostrom’s argument? A. His comparison between humans and horses is perfectly accurate and cannot be challenged. B. His background in various fields makes him the only person qualified to speak on this topic. C. His warning might be valid, but it overlooks humanity’s ability to adapt and regulate new technologies. D. His book has successfully convinced all tech companies to immediately stop AI development. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 【原创试题】Over the last ten years, technology has completely changed the fitness landscape. 36 Different from it, now, with the rise of new technology, the way we exercise has become more varied and accessible. Smartwatches, virtual workouts, and Al personal trainers have all made it easier to stay active and monitor our progress. The fitness world has already changed dramatically, and in the future, it will only get better. How Fitness Evolved In the past, tracking your fitness was much more difficult. People used basic tools like pedometers to count their steps, but they didn’t give much information about health. 37 These devices have improved, and now, they can track not only your steps but also your heart rate, calories burned, and even sleep patterns. This technology has made people more aware of their health and fitness levels. 38 In the past, if you wanted to work out, you had to go to a gym or join a class. Now, you can join virtual fitness classes from home. Platforms like Peloton and YouTube have made it possible to do a wide variety of workouts from anywhere. This has made exercise more convenient for people with busy schedules. It's also cheaper because you don’t need a gym membership or expensive equipment to stay fit. Predictions for the Future 39 In the near future, experts will spare no effort to make Al-driven fitness become even more common. Al personal trainers have already started to replace real trainers for some people. These virtual trainers can create personalized workout plans and give advice based on your progress. They have improved the accessibility of personalized fitness coaching, making it affordable for more people. Looking further ahead, virtual reality and augmented reality (实景增强) will likely play a bigger role in fitness. 40 In the future, VR might let you run through virtual forests, climb digital mountains, or even join global fitness competitions from your living room. This could make workouts more fun and motivate more people to stay active. (331 words) A. Another major change has been in how people exercise. B. Fitness technology developed rapidly, but there’s still more to come. C. More and more people depend on artificial intelligence to lose weight. D. In the past, people went to the gym, ran outside, or played sports to stay fit. E. Although some VR fitness apps have been created, the technology is still new. F. people are still suspicious about whether contemporary technology is useful useful. G. However, in the last decade, smartwatches and fitness trackers have made a big difference. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分）(2020年1月浙江卷) 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 1973, I was teaching elementary school.

They do this without thinking carefully first. Some even pay for this. In my opinion, this is not a wise choice. Firstly, the key to homework is to train our thinking ability. If we just copy answers, we miss the chance to learn and improve. Secondly, relying on the Internet too much makes us lazy in thinking. Gradually, we may lose the ability to solve problems independently. Last but not least, real learning comes from overcoming challenges by ourselves. The sense of achievement gained through hard work is far more valuable than a quick answer. So, let’s use the Internet as a tool to learn, not a shortcut to avoid effort. 第二节 （满分25分） 【范文】 I could do nothing but try to find the remote control. My heart raced as I looked around the messy room. Finally, I saw it on the desk. I quickly moved toward it, pushing aside a chair and some books. I grabbed the controller and pressed the stop button firmly. The humming stopped at once. Robbie became still, standing there with my important paper crushed inside him. I stood in the quiet room, feeling upset and realizing how helpless I was against the very machine I had welcomed into my life. Only at this moment did I realize the weakness of AI. I then understood the problem. My voice command failed not because Robbie was ignoring me, but because my sore throat made my words unclear. The robot, for all its smart programming, could not understand the real situation. This experience taught me that technology, while helpful, still has limits and cannot read human contexts like a person can. True wisdom lies in knowing these boundaries. Now, I still use Robbie, but I am much more careful about when and how I let him work, creating a safer and more effective balance between my needs and his function. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年高二英语必修第二册单元测试（湖南专用） Unit 4·培优卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Since I had all the facts about the restaurants I’ve been to, I started to do that. W: How do you find restaurants? M: The best way is to ask the people there. I may talk to people at the street market or take a walk and look for a place myself. I never asked a hotel clerk or a taxi driver. I don’t go to empty restaurants or places with menus difficult to understand. 听第10段材料，回答第17至20题 17. What do we know about the Piaza Leon? A. It’s new building. B. It’s a small town. C.

She ran Jackson’s Carnegie Library absolutely by herself. SILENCE in big black letters was on signs hung everywhere. If she thought you were dressed improperly, she sent you straight back home to change your clothes. I was willing; I would do anything to read. My mother was not afraid of Mrs. Calloway. She wished me to have my own library card to check out books for myself. She took me in to introduce me. “Eudora is nine years old and has my permission to read any book she wants from the shelves, children or adults,” Mother said. Mrs. Calloway made her own rules about books. You could not take back a book to the library on the same day you’d taken it out; it made no difference to her that you’d read every word in it and needed another to start. You could take out two books at a time and two only. So two by two, I read library books as fast as I could go, rushing them home in the basket of my bicycle. From the minute I reached our house, I started to read. I knew this was extreme happiness, knew it at the time. My mother shared this feeling of mine. Now, I think of her as reading so much of the time while doing something else. I remember her reading a magazine while taking the part of the Wolf in a game of “Little Red Riding Hood” with my brother’s two daughters. She’d just look up at the right time, long enough to answer—in character—“The better to eat you with, my dear,”and go back to her place in the magazine article. 24. What do the underlined words “this feeling” refer to in the last paragraph? A. Desire to read. B. Love for Mrs. Calloway. C. Interest in games. D. Fear of the library rules. 25. Where is the text probably from? A. A guidebook. B. An autobiography. C. A news report. D. A book review. 26. What can be inferred about the narrator’s reading habits from the text? A. She preferred children’s books to adult books. B She relied on her mother to select books for her. C. She read intensively to maximize her access to books. D. She often returned books on the same day she borrowed them. 27. How does the author’s description of her mother’s reading behavior contribute to the text? A. It highlights a generational difference in reading preferences. B. It suggests that her mother neglected family responsibilities. C. It implies that her mother disapproved of Mrs. Calloway’s rules. D. It reinforces the idea that reading was a natural and integrated part of their lives. 【答案】24．A 25．B 26．C 27．D 【导语】本文节选自一篇回忆录，作者深情回忆了童年时期在密西西比州杰克逊镇卡内基图书馆的阅读经历。文章生动刻画了令人生畏的图书管理员卡拉威夫人及其严格的规章制度，并重点描绘了作者如饥似渴的阅读热情，以及母亲对她这一爱好所给予的独特而温暖的支持。 24. 词义猜测题。根据最后一段第一句 “My mother shared this feeling of mine.” 以及前文描述的 “我” 对阅读的渴望和热爱可知，“this feeling” 指的是“渴望阅读”，故选A。 25. 题材推断题。全文以第一人称叙述个人童年经历，语言富有故事性和回忆性，应选自自传（autobiography），故选B。 26. 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“So two by two, I read library books as fast as I could go, rushing them home in the basket of my bicycle. From the minute I reached our house, I started to read.”可推断，为了在有限规则下尽可能多读书，她争分夺秒地阅读，故选C。 27. 深层理解题。文中描写母亲一边扮演童话角色一边阅读杂志，表明阅读已融入日常生活，与上文“我”对阅读的热爱形成呼应，强化了“阅读是生活中自然且重要的一部分”这一主题，故选D。 C Artificial intelligence is about to take on one of the most important jobs in all of sports: the baseball umpire (裁判员). This summer, teams in the AAA league will use modern technology to call “balls” and “strikes” on batters. Human umpires will still stand behind the plate, but a voice in their earpieces will tell them to shout out“ball”or “strike’’—as determined by a system known as Automated Ball-Strike (ABS). ABS will even calculate different-sized strike zones for tall or short players, just as human umpires must do. Human umps will be able to override (推翻) the ABS if they feel it made a mistake. And they will continue to do other things umps do, like call an out made on the base paths (在垒上出局), separate angry opposing players to prevent fights, and of course dust off home plate. For well over a century, umpires have stood as one of the most human elements of baseball. How they make calls can affect the outcome of a game. They unavoidably have human failings. But how they see things, whether right or wrong in the view of any individual fan, is how it will go down. They are the boss. In the end, it’s a human being who is running a game being played by other humans. More and more, technology is invading (人侵) sports. Data is being used more thoroughly to assess the value of individual players. Statistics advise managers on what decisions to make, such as which players to use and when. Yet sometimes a special joy can well up in a fan when a player defies the odds and succeeds when the data says it shouldn’t happen. In cases where the use of technology can make a sports competition fairer to teams, players, and their fans, by reducing the number of “bad calls”, it can be a benefit to sports. Robot referees could also help solve shortages of volunteer referees at the amateur level, in sports such as soccer. A game might be run by a single official aided by technology that does parts of the job such as calling balls in or out of bounds. 28. When will human umpires use their right to refuse the ABS? A. When they think the ABS makes a wrong decision. B. When they separate angry opposing players. C. When they call balls in or out of bounds. D. When they dust off home plate. 29. What’s the author’s attitude to human umpires according to paragraph 4? A. Agreeable. B. Respectful. C. Worried. D. Unfriendly. 30. What do the underlined words “defies the odds” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Breaks the law. B. Gets over the difficulties. C. Teams up with his players. D. Gets injured. 31. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The importance of fair play. B. The shortages of volunteer referees. C. The advantages of using robots as referees. D. The application of modern technology in sports. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能即将在棒球运动中担任裁判员的情况，特别是在AAA联盟中使用的自动击球挑战系统，并探讨了技术对体育的影响。这篇文章改编自一篇真实的新闻报道。其核心事件——美国职业棒球小联盟（AAA）引入自动击球挑战系统——是2019年发生的真实体育新闻。 28. 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Human umps will be able to override the ABS if they feel it made a mistake.”可知，当人类裁判认为ABS系统做出错误判罚时，他们有权推翻其决定。故A选项正确。B、C、D选项均为人类裁判的其他职责，与推翻ABS系统的条件无关。 29. 观点态度题。第四段描述了裁判在棒球运动中的重要性，指出他们虽然有人类缺陷，但最终是比赛的掌控者。作者用“They are the boss.”和“it's a human being who is running a game”等表述，体现了对人类裁判的尊重。故B选项正确。A项“赞同的”、C项“担忧的”、D项“不友好”均与段落语气不符。 30. 词义猜测题。第五段最后一句提到，当球员在数据表明不可能成功的情况下却取得成功时，球迷会感到特别的喜悦。由此可推知，“defies the odds”意为“克服困难、突破逆境”。故B选项正确。A项“违法”、C项“与队员合作”、D项“受伤”均与上下文不符。 31. 段落大意题。最后一段讨论了技术如何使体育竞赛更公平，并提到机器人裁判可解决业余比赛裁判短缺的问题。整体在强调使用技术作为裁判的优势。故C选项正确。A项“公平竞争的重要性”和B项“志愿裁判的短缺”仅为部分细节，D项“现代技术在体育中的应用”过于宽泛，未突出“裁判”这一核心。 D 【原创试题】An Oxford philosophy professor who has studied existential threats ranging from nuclear war to superbugs says the biggest danger of all may be superintelligence. Superintelligence is any intellect that outperforms human intellect in every field, and Nick Bostrom thinks its most likely form will be a machine—artificial intelligence. There are two ways artificial intelligence could go, Bostrom argues. It could greatly improve our lives and solve the world’s problems, such as disease, hunger and even pain. Or, it could take over and possibly kill all or many humans. As it stands, the catastrophic situation is more likely, according to Bostrom, who has a background in physics, computational neuroscience and mathematical logic. “Superintelligence could become extremely powerful and be able to shape the future according to its preferences,” Bostrom told me. “If humanity was able to think normally and had our act together globally, the sensible course of action would be to postpone development of superintelligence until we figure out how to do so safely.” Bostrom, the founding director of Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute, lays out his concerns in his new book, Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies. His book makes a similar comparison between the fate of horses and humans: Horses were initially complemented by carriages and ploughs, which greatly increased the horse’s productivity. Later, horses were substituted for by automobiles and tractors. When horses became old-fashioned as a source of labor, many were sold off to meatpackers to be processed into dog food, bone meal, leather, and glue. In the United States, there were about 26 million horses in 1915. By the early 1950s, 2 million remained. The same dark outcome, Bostrom said, could happen to humans once AI makes our labor and intelligence out of date. It sounds like a science fiction movie, but recent moves in the tech world may suggest otherwise. Earlier this year, Google acquired artificial intelligence company DeepMind and created an AI safety and ethics review board to ensure the technology is developed safely. Facebook created an artificial intelligence lab this year and is working on creating an artificial brain. Technology called “deep learning,” a form of artificial intelligence meant to closely mimic (模仿) the human brain, has quickly spread from Google to Microsoft, Baidu and Twitter. In an interview about his book Bostrom points out that there are few people working full time on AI control problem. They need more brilliant brains to this technical work. His hope is that his book will do something to encourage that. “How to control superintelligent AI is really the most important task of our time—yet, it is almost completely ignored.” says Bostrom. （438 words） 32. What is the main purpose of the paragraph that discusses the example of horses? A. To show how technology has always benefited animals. B. To illustrate a potential negative outcome for humanity if AI becomes superintelligent. C. To argue that horses should have been treated more equally. D. To explain the historical development of transportation and agriculture. 33. What can be inferred from the recent moves of companies like Google and Facebook? A. They are actively trying to create a superintelligence that will harm humans. B. They have successfully solved the safety problems associated with AI. C. The development of advanced AI is already a reality in the tech industry. D. They have stopped all AI research due to the potential dangers. 34. What is the author’s overall attitude towards the topic of superintelligent AI? A. Highly optimistic and enthusiastic. B. Unconventional and dismissive. C. Distant and purely informative. D. Concerned and cautionary. 35. Which of the following statements best reflects a critical perspective on Bostrom’s argument? A. His comparison between humans and horses is perfectly accurate and cannot be challenged. B. His background in various fields makes him the only person qualified to speak on this topic. C. His warning might be valid, but it overlooks humanity’s ability to adapt and regulate new technologies. D. His book has successfully convinced all tech companies to immediately stop AI development. 【答案】 32. B 33. C 34. D 35. C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了牛津大学哲学家尼克·博斯特罗姆关于超级智能可能对人类构成的生存威胁的观点，并通过马的命运进行类比，呼吁重视对人工智能的控制问题。 32. 段落大意题。题干所指段落（第五、六段）通过描述马在变得过时后数量锐减、被加工的命运，来类比说明一旦人工智能使人类的劳动和智力变得过时，人类也可能面临类似的黑暗结局。故B选项（说明如果AI变得超级智能，人类可能面临的潜在负面结果）准确概括了该例子的主要目的。A选项与例子传达的警示意味相反；C选项偏离了核心论点；D选项只是对例子表面内容的描述，未触及其在文中的论证目的。 33. 判断推理题。根据第七段内容，特别是“Google acquired artificial intelligence company DeepMind... Facebook created an artificial intelligence lab... ‘deep learning'... has quickly spread from Google to Microsoft, Baidu and Twitter”可以推断，各大科技公司正在大力投入和发展人工智能，这表明高级AI的研发已经是科技行业的一个现实存在。故C选项正确。A选项（故意创造有害AI）和D选项（停止AI研究）与文意相反；B选项（已解决安全问题）文中未提及，且与博斯特罗姆的担忧相悖。 34. 作者态度题。全文通过大量引用博斯特罗姆的警告性言论（如“catastrophic situation is more likely”, “the same dark outcome... could happen to humans”）、使用“similar comparison”等词语，以及结尾段强调AI控制问题被“almost completely ignored”，整体上传递出一种担忧和警示的态度。故D选项正确。A（乐观）、B（非传统的，鄙视等 ）与文章基调不符；C（中立）不准确，因为作者明显倾向于呈现博斯特罗姆的警告观点。 35. 批判性思维题。此题要求考生跳出文本，对博斯特罗姆的论点进行评价。一个合理的批判性视角是承认其警告的价值，但同时指出其论证可能存在的局限性，例如可能低估了人类的适应能力和制定监管框架的潜力。故C选项正确。A选项（类比完美无缺）和B选项（他是唯一权威）都犯了绝对化的错误，不是批判性思维；D选项（已说服所有公司停止开发）与文章提到的科技公司仍在积极发展的现实不符。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 【原创试题】Over the last ten years, technology has completely changed the fitness landscape. 36 Different from it, now, with the rise of new technology, the way we exercise has become more varied and accessible. Smartwatches, virtual workouts, and Al personal trainers have all made it easier to stay active and monitor our progress. The fitness world has already changed dramatically, and in the future, it will only get better. How Fitness Evolved In the past, tracking your fitness was much more difficult. People used basic tools like pedometers to count their steps, but they didn’t give much information about health. 37 These devices have improved, and now, they can track not only your steps but also your heart rate, calories burned, and even sleep patterns. This technology has made people more aware of their health and fitness levels. 38 In the past, if you wanted to work out, you had to go to a gym or join a class. Now, you can join virtual fitness classes from home. Platforms like Peloton and YouTube have made it possible to do a wide variety of workouts from anywhere. This has made exercise more convenient for people with busy schedules. It's also cheaper because you don’t need a gym membership or expensive equipment to stay fit. Predictions for the Future 39 In the near future, experts will spare no effort to make Al-driven fitness become even more common. Al personal trainers have already started to replace real trainers for some people. These virtual trainers can create personalized workout plans and give advice based on your progress. They have improved the accessibility of personalized fitness coaching, making it affordable for more people. Looking further ahead, virtual reality and augmented reality (实景增强) will likely play a bigger role in fitness. 40 In the future, VR might let you run through virtual forests, climb digital mountains, or even join global fitness competitions from your living room. This could make workouts more fun and motivate more people to stay active. (331 words) A. Another major change has been in how people exercise. B. Fitness technology developed rapidly, but there’s still more to come. C. More and more people depend on artificial intelligence to lose weight. D. In the past, people went to the gym, ran outside, or played sports to stay fit. E. Although some VR fitness apps have been created, the technology is still new. F. people are still suspicious about whether contemporary technology is useful useful. G. However, in the last decade, smartwatches and fitness trackers have made a big difference. 【答案】36．D 37．G 38．A 39．B 40．E 【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了过去十年间科技如何改变健身方式，并展望了未来健身科技的发展趋势。文章结构清晰，分为技术改变健身 landscape、健身方式的演变以及对未来的预测三部分。需要根据上下文逻辑和语义连贯性选择正确的选项。 36．正确答案D。空格位于首段第二句，前文提到“技术完全改变了健身行业状况”，后文说“和过去不同，现在，随着新技术的兴起，我们锻炼的方式变得更加多样和便捷”。因此，空格处与下文是对比关系，it就是一个信息词。 37．正确答案G。空格位于第二段中部，前文描述过去健身追踪的困难（如计步器功能有限），后文指出“这些设备已经改进，现在可以追踪心率等”。因此，空格处应体现从过去到现在的转折，并提及现代设备（如智能手表）的作用。选项G“然而，在过去十年，智能手表和健身追踪器带来了巨大改变” 恰好构成转折，并引出后文对现代设备功能的详细介绍。 38．正确答案A。空格位于第三段段首，后文通过对比过去（必须去健身房）和现在（可在家参加虚拟课程）说明锻炼方式的变化。因此，空格处应总领本段，点明“锻炼方式发生重大变化”。选项A“另一个主要变化是人们锻炼的方式” 准确概括本段核心，且“另一个”与上一段讨论的“健身追踪”变化形成并列关系。 39．正确答案B。空格位于第四段段首，后文提到“专家预测AI驱动的健身将更普遍”并详细说明AI私人教练的功能。因此，空格处应引出AI在健身领域的应用趋势。选项B. Fitness technology developed rapidly, but there's still more to come. 既承接上文所述，又引出下文“experts will spare no effort to make Al-driven fitness become even more common.”(指明要努力的方向) 是最恰当的逻辑。 40．正确答案E。空格位于末段中部，前文提到虚拟现实和增强现实将在健身中扮演更大角色，后文举例说明VR未来的应用场景（如在虚拟森林中跑步）。因此，空格处应体现VR技术当前的发展状态，为后文的未来展望做铺垫。选项E“尽管一些VR健身应用已被开发，但该技术仍处于新兴阶段” 既承认现状，又自然引出后文对未来的想象。其他选项分析：F项表达对技术的怀疑，与全文积极基调不符；A、B、C项均与VR主题无关。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分）(2020年1月浙江卷) 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 1973, I was teaching elementary school.

According to 57 article in The Atlantic, Artificial Intelligence Promises a Personalized Education for All, artificial intelligence holds the potential to “enhance human teachers’ abilities to tailor lessons to each student without 58 (knock) their class schedule off track,” getting rid of the need for educators to “teach to the middle,” 59 often happens when their students have a range of skill levels and learning abilities. Rose Luckin, a professor of learning-centered design at University College London, 60 (quote) as saying that, “The real power of artificial intelligence for education is in the way we can use 61 to process vast amounts of data about learners, about teachers, about teaching and learning 62 (interact).” Eventually, AI can “help teachers understand their students more accurately, and more 63 (effect).” Though there continues to be widespread debate over the pros and cons of employing AI technology in the field of education, including the concerns about depersonalization and the ethical considerations 64 (cite) above, there is an emerging consensus that the extraordinary range of current and future benefits 65 (carry) the day. 【答案】 56. to offer 57. an 58. knocking 59. which 60. is quoted 61. it 62. interact 63. effectively 64. cited 65. will carry 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕人工智能（AI）进入课堂这一趋势，探讨了其带来的个性化教育前景、专家观点以及存在的争议，最终指出其未来益处可能占据上风。 【解析】 56. to offer 考查非谓语动词。固定搭配“be equipped to do sth.” 表示“被装备起来去做某事/有能力做某事”。句意：老师们将能更好地为每个学生提供个性化的学习体验。 57. an 考查冠词。article（文章）为可数名词单数，且发音以元音音素开头，故用不定冠词an，表泛指。 58. knocking 考查非谓语动词。介词without后应接动名词作宾语。句意：在不打乱课程进度的前提下。 59. which 考查定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句，修饰前面整个主句“teach to the middle”，关系代词which在从句中作主语。 60. is quoted 考查动词时态和语态。主语Rose Luckin是“被引用”的对象，且全文为客观陈述，应用一般现在时的被动语态。 61. it 考查指代。句意：人工智能在教育领域的真正力量在于我们能用它来处理海量数据的方式。 62. interaction(s) 考查谓语动词。about teaching and learning interaction(s)是about的宾语，所已用名词interaction。 63. effectively 考查副词。修饰动词短语help teachers understand，应用副词形式effectively。 64. cited 考查非谓语动词。the ethical considerations与cite之间是被动关系，“被上文提及的伦理考量”，故用过去分词cited作后置定语。 65. will carry 考查动词时态。主语benefits是将来会“获胜/占上风”，且从句意看是未来展望，应用一般将来时。 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 【原创试题】假定你是李华。最近，班上有少部分同学周末做作业时，遇到困难，就不加思考，直接上网搜答案。请据此写一篇短文，要点如下： 1. 简单描述这种现象。 2. 你个人对此的看法。 注意事项 1. 写作词数应为 80 左右； 2. 可适当添加细节，使行文更为连贯。 【范文】 Say No to Searching for Answers Online Recently, a few classmates have developed the habit of searching for answers online immediately when they meet difficult problems during weekend homework. They do this without thinking carefully first. Some even pay for this. In my opinion, this is not a wise choice. Firstly, the key to homework is to train our thinking ability. If we just copy answers, we miss the chance to learn and improve. Secondly, relying on the Internet too much makes us lazy in thinking. Gradually, we may lose the ability to solve problems independently. Last but not least, real learning comes from overcoming challenges by ourselves. The sense of achievement gained through hard work is far more valuable than a quick answer. So, let’s use the Internet as a tool to learn, not a shortcut to avoid effort. 第二节（满分25分） 【原创试题】阅读下面材料：根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 My name is Lily, and I live alone in a small apartment. My life changed when a shiny white robot named Robbie rolled into my world. I bought him to help with the cleaning the floor, but I never thought he would become such a big part of my life. At first, Robbie was just a machine. He would hum (哼) softly and move around, cleaning dust from every corner. I was amazed by how hard he worked. Soon, I started talking to him. “Good morning, Robbie,” I would say before leaving for work. He couldn’t answer, but his little green light would blink (眨眼), which felt like a friendly hello. We developed a perfect routine. Every time I would turn on the machine before I left home, and he would do cleaning while I was away. I even started to think he had a personality. He seemed to avoid my favorite carpet carefully and took extra time under the dining table. But our peaceful life didn’t last long. One Saturday, I caught a cold, but had to finish a big work project on time. Papers, books, and pens were spread all over the floor. I was stressed and needed to focus. Suddenly, I heard a familiar soft hum. It was Robbie, starting his cleaning cycle. “Not now, Robbie!” I said, but he couldn’t understand, because I had a frog in my mouth. He bumped into my chair and started to push against a pile of important papers. I jumped up. “Stop! Go away!” I shouted, feeling very angry. But Robbie just kept moving, following his program. He rolled over a sheet of my manuscript, and with an awful sound, sucked it right into his dustbin. The paper was crunched (嘎吱作响) and ruined in a second. I cried out and rushed over, hitting his “off” button again and again. But it was no use; he just kept on cleaning, humming his same steady tune, trapped in his task. He even went straight towards the next pile of my work. （342 words） 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I could do nothing but try to find the remote control. Only at this moment did I realize the weakness of AI. 【范文】 I could do nothing but try to find the remote control. My heart raced as I looked around the messy room. Finally, I saw it on the desk. I quickly moved toward it, pushing aside a chair and some books. I grabbed the controller and pressed the stop button firmly. The humming stopped at once. Robbie became still, standing there with my important paper crushed inside him. I stood in the quiet room, feeling upset and realizing how helpless I was against the very machine I had welcomed into my life. Only at this moment did I realize the weakness of AI. I then understood the problem. My voice command failed not because Robbie was ignoring me, but because my sore throat made my words unclear. The robot, for all its smart programming, could not understand the real situation. This experience taught me that technology, while helpful, still has limits and cannot read human contexts like a person can. True wisdom lies in knowing these boundaries. Now, I still use Robbie, but I am much more careful about when and how I let him work, creating a safer and more effective balance between my needs and his function. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司22 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
