阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
14-year-old Lina recently got a new "smart trash bin" from her dad, who works in a home appliance store. He said the bin uses simple science to make waste sorting 11 ______—and Lina soon found out he was right.
At first, Lina thought the bin was just like any other. But when she threw a paper box into it, a small screen on the bin lit up and said, "Paper waste. Correct!" She was surprised, so she tried a plastic bottle next. The screen showed, "Plastic. Please put in the blue compartment(隔层)." Lina realized the bin had a scanner that 12 ______ different waste types. Her dad explained, "It uses light to tell materials apart—paper reflects light differently from plastic."
One evening, Lina accidentally dropped a wet napkin into the paper compartment. The bin beeped(发出蜂鸣声)and flashed a red light. "Wet waste mixed in!" it reminded her. Lina quickly took the napkin out and put it in the wet waste bin. She laughed, "It’s like having a waste-sorting 13 ______ with me!"
A week later, the bin’s screen showed "Low battery". Lina worried she’d need to plug it in, but her dad said, "It has a solar panel(太阳能板)on the top—just put it near the window." Sure enough, after a day in sunlight, the bin turned on again. "Solar energy is free and clean," her dad told her. "That’s why more home tools use it now." Lina nodded, thinking about how her desk lamp also 14 ______ solar power on sunny days.
One Saturday, Lina’s friend Tao came over. He wanted to throw a banana peel into the general waste bin, but the smart bin stopped him. "Banana peel is wet waste," it said. Tao was shocked, "How does it know that?" Lina explained the scanner and solar panel to him, and Tao said, "Science makes even trash bins 15 ______!"
But the bin isn’t perfect. Once, Lina threw a metal can into the plastic compartment. The scanner didn’t notice, and the bin didn’t warn her. Her dad said, "It works best for common materials—metals can be tricky sometimes." Lina nodded, understanding that no tool is 16 ______.
Weeks later, Lina noticed the bin’s scanner was slower than before. She told her dad, and he said, "Dust might be blocking the scanner—let’s clean it together." They used a soft brush to wipe the scanner, and 17 ______ the bin worked like new again. Lina learned that even smart tools need regular care, just like her bike needs oiling.
Now, Lina uses the bin every day. It has taught her to sort waste carefully and made her more interested in the science behind home tools. She even started checking other things at home—like how her electric kettle turns off by itself when water boils. "I never thought science was so close to life," Lina said. "It’s not just in textbooks—it’s in the little things we use 18 ______ day."
Last month, Lina’s class had a "Science in Daily Life" presentation. She talked about her smart trash bin and showed photos of its solar panel and scanner. Her classmates asked lots of questions, and even the teacher said, "This is a great example of how science 19 ______ our lives easier."
Lina now tells everyone she knows about her "science bin". She says, "It’s not just a trash bin—it’s a way to learn. 20 ______ you pay attention, you’ll find science everywhere." And every time she throws away waste, she remembers: small tools with science can make a big difference to our daily lives. She even made a small poster about her bin, drawing pictures of its solar panel and scanner, to share with her neighborhood—hoping more people will learn about 21 ______ science helps with daily tasks. Thanks to this smart bin, Lina not only sorts waste better but also becomes a little "science speaker" who 22 ______ others to notice science around them.
11. A. harder B. easier C. slower D. busier
12. A. identifies B. collects C. hides D. invents

My Friend and Her Robot Helper
Lily is my best friend. Her mother has a serious back problem and can't do heavy housework. Last year, Lily's family bought a robot called Max to help around the house.
Max is about 1.2 meters tall with a round body and two long arms. Every morning, it wakes Lily up at 7 o'clock and makes breakfast for the family. Then it cleans the house—sweeping the floor, wiping the windows and tidying up the rooms. In the afternoon, it helps Lily's mother water the plants and take out the rubbish. When Lily finishes her homework, Max even plays chess with her. It's not very good at chess, but it always tries its best.
Last month, Lily's mother fell down and couldn't walk. Max took care of her carefully. It helped her get out of bed, brought her water and medicine on time, and even read books to her when she felt bored. Lily said that without Max, her family would have a hard time.
I once asked Lily if she was afraid that Max would break down. She said, "Of course, but the robot shop gives a two-year warranty. If Max has problems, they will send an engineer to fix it for free. And even if it breaks down one day, I will remember all the help it gave us. "I think Max is not just a robot—it's like a member of Lily's family.

The Story of "Robot and Boy"
"Robot and Boy" is a popular novel written by British writer David Wilson. The story takes place in the year 2050, when robots are very common in people's lives. The main character is a 10-year-old boy named Tom, who lives with his parents in a small town.
Tom's parents are both scientists who work on robot research. They made a special robot called Neo for Tom. Neo is different from other robots—it has emotions. It can feel happy, sad and even angry. At first, Tom is very excited to have Neo. They play football together, go to the park and read books. Neo always helps Tom when he is in trouble. For example, when Tom is bullied by other boys at school, Neo stands up for him and tells the teacher about the problem.
But as time goes by, Tom starts to feel jealous of Neo. His parents spend more time improving Neo's functions than playing with him. Tom thinks his parents love Neo more than him.

Robot Athletes: New Stars in Sports
You may have seen robots playing football or dancing, but have you ever heard of robot athletes competing in sports events? In recent years, robot sports have become more and more popular around the world.
The first robot sports event was held in Japan in 1990. At that time, only a few teams took part in the robot football match. Now, there are many kinds of robot sports events, such as robot running, robot swimming and robot basketball. The most famous one is the RoboCup, which is held every year. Teams from different countries send their robot athletes to compete.
Robot athletes have many advantages over human athletes. They don't get tired, so they can keep competing for a long time. They also don't feel nervous, so they can perform well under pressure. For example, in a robot running race, the robot can run at a constant speed and never slow down. In a robot swimming race, the robot can adjust its body position quickly to swim faster.
But robot athletes also have some disadvantages. They need to be controlled by humans, so they can't make decisions on their own. If the program has a problem, the robot will stop working. Also, making robot athletes is very expensive. A top robot football player can cost up to $100,000.
Some people think that robot sports will replace human sports in the future. But most people disagree. They think that human sports are about passion(激情)and teamwork, which robot sports can't have. Robot sports are more about technology and innovation. They can help us develop better technology and inspire more young people to study science.
Whether robot sports will become more popular or not, one thing is sure—they are a new and interesting part of the sports world.
33. When was the first robot sports event held?
A. In 1980. B. In 1990. C. In 2000. D. In 2010.
34. What is the most famous robot sports event?
A. The Olympics. B. The World Cup. C. The RoboCup. D. The Asian Games.
35. What is an advantage of robot athletes?
A. They can keep competing for a long time. B. They feel nervous under pressure.
C. They get tired easily. D. They can make decisions on their own.
36. What do most people think about robot sports?
A. They will replace human sports soon. B. They are about passion and teamwork.
C. They can help develop technology. D. They are more exciting than human sports.
四、还原句子。(共 4 小题,每小题 1.5 分,满分 6 分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Robots are becoming more and more common in our daily lives. They can help us with many things, from housework to work. But do you know how robots are made? 37
First, engineers need to design the robot. They decide what the robot will look like and what functions it will have. For example, if the robot is for cleaning, it needs to have a vacuum(吸尘器)function and wheels to move around. 38 They use computer software to draw 3D models of the robot.
Second, workers make the parts of the robot. Some parts are made of metal, and some are made of plastic.
39 For example, the robot's arms need to be strong enough to lift things, and its sensors(传感器)need to be accurate(精确的)to detect(探测)objects.
Third, the parts are assembled(组装)together. Engineers connect the robot's body, arms, legs and other parts. Then they install(安装)the computer program that controls the robot. 40 They test if the robot can move, talk and do the tasks it is supposed to do. If there is a problem, they fix it.
Finally, the robot is ready to be sold or used. Making a robot takes a lot of time and effort, but it's worth it because robots can make our lives easier.
A. After designing, they make a plan for the robot's parts.
B. The process of making a robot is long and complicated.
C. Robots can also help doctors perform difficult operations.
D. Each part must be made carefully to ensure the robot works well.
E. Once the program is installed, engineers test the robot.
F. Some robots are designed to work in factories to make cars.
五、阅读短文,回答问题。(共 4 小题,前 3 小题每题 2 分,第 4 小题 3 分,满分 9 分)
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答下列问题。注意:前3题,每题答案不得超过 10 个词;第4小题不限词数。
Robot Teachers in Rural Schools
In some rural areas of China, there is a shortage of teachers, especially English teachers. Many children in these areas can't get good English education because their schools don't have enough qualified English teachers. To solve this problem, some schools have started using robot teachers.
The robot teachers are about 1.5 meters tall. They have a screen for a face, which can show different expressions like smiling or nodding. They are connected to the Internet and have a lot of teaching materials in their system. For example, they can teach students new words, read English stories and play English songs. They can also correct students' pronunciation by comparing it with standard pronunciation.
The robot teachers have helped improve students' English skills. A study shows that students who learn from robot teachers have better test scores than those who don't. For example, in a school in Guizhou, the average(平均的)English score of students increased by 15 points after using robot teachers for one year. Also, the robot teachers make English classes more interesting. Students are more willing to speak English in class because they are not afraid of making mistakes in front of a robot.
However, robot teachers also have some limitations . They can't answer all the students' questions, especially questions about grammar or culture. They also can't understand students' emotions. For example, if a student is sad because he failed a test, the robot teacher can't comfort him like a human teacher.
Despite these limitations, robot teachers are still a good solution to the teacher shortage in rural areas. They can help more children get access to good English education. In the future, engineers will improve robot teachers to make them more intelligent and more like human teachers.
41. Why do some rural schools use robot teachers?
42. What can robot teachers do in English classes?
43. How have robot teachers helped students in Guizhou?
44. Do you think robot teachers will replace human teachers in the future? Why or why not?
六、短文填空。(共 10 小题,每小题 1 分,满分 10 分)
阅读下面短文,用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空,或根据上下文在空白处填入一个适当的词,使短文通顺、完整。
When thinking about future careers, middle school students often face choices—some dream of becoming doctors to save lives, while others want to be engineers who build new things. Today, the rise of technology has made "robot-related jobs" a new option for young people 45 (plan) their careers.
Many jobs in the robot field don’t require super advanced skills right now. For example, a robot maintenance technician 46 (need)to check robots’ parts regularly, like making sure their batteries work well or fixing small program errors. This job is suitable for students who are good at hands-on work and enjoy 47 (solve) practical problems.
If you love working with people, you could be a robot trainer. Some robots, such as those in hospitals or schools, need to be taught how to interact with humans. Trainers help robots learn to respond to voices or follow simple orders—this job asks for patience and good communication skills, which many students 48 (already develop) through group activities at school.
For students interested in design, a robot designer is a great fit. Designers draw plans for robots based on what the robots will be used for: a robot for space exploration needs to be strong and lightweight, 49 a robot for home use should be small and easy to control. This job combines art and science, so it’s perfect if you like both drawing and physics.
It’s important to start preparing early if you want a career in robots. You can join school science clubs to build simple robots, or read books about robot technology to learn basic knowledge. Remember, every big career starts with small steps. Even if you don’t become a robot expert right away, the skills you gain—like critical thinking and teamwork—will help you in any future job.
No matter what career you choose, the key is to pick something that matches your interests. The robot field is growing fast, and it 50 (offer) more and more chances for young people. So take time to explore, ask questions, and keep learning—your dream career might be just around the corner, waiting for you to 51 (reach) for it.
Some students worry that robot jobs are too hard, but in fact, many entry-level positions are designed for beginners. For example, a robot salesperson doesn’t need to know how to build robots—they just need to understand what robots can do and help customers choose the right one. This job is great for students who are outgoing and good at 52 (explain) things to others.
As you think about your future, don’t forget to consider how technology changes careers. Robots are not just tools—they’re creating new jobs that didn’t exist 10 years ago. By keeping an open mind and learning new skills, you can get ready for the careers of tomorrow.
In the end, career planning is about finding a job that makes you happy and allows you to contribute to the world. Whether you work with robots or in another field, the most important thing is to follow your passion and keep 53 (improve) yourself. With hard work and preparation, you can turn your career dreams 54 reality.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to complain about the robot I bought from your shop. I purchased the HomeBot X5 model last Tuesday, but it has had several problems after only one week of use.
Firstly, it often forgets the instructions I give. Secondly, it doesn't clean thoroughly—there is always dirt left in corners. Besides, its battery life is very short; it needs recharging every two hours even with light use.
I hope you can either replace the robot with a new one or send an engineer to repair it as soon as possible.
I look forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua

(时间:100分钟,满分:90分)
一、单项选择。(本大题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)
从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1. Mr. Li doesn't know ______ he should deal with the broken robot.
A. what B. how C. why D. when
【答案】B
【解析】句意:李先生不知道该如何处理这个坏了的机器人。
考查知识点:疑问词辨析,“deal with”(处理)的固定搭配。
结合语境,“deal with” 需与表示 “方式、方法” 的疑问词 “how” 搭配;“what” 需搭配 “do with”,“why” 表原因,“when” 表时间,均不符合语境,故填 “how”。
2. The little girl found ______ interesting to watch the robot dance show.
A. this B. that C. it D. one
【答案】C
【解析】句意:这个小女孩发现看机器人舞蹈表演很有趣。
考查知识点:形式宾语 “it” 的用法。
结合语境,句子真正的宾语是后面的 “to watch the robot dance show”,为避免句子结构失衡,需用 “it” 作形式宾语,代替真正宾语;“this”“that”“one” 均无此用法,故填 “it”。
3. The new robot is ______ smart ______ it can help with all kinds of housework.
A. too; to B. so; that C. such; that D. enough; to
【答案】B
【解析】句意:这个新机器人如此智能,以至于能帮忙做各种家务。
考查知识点:结果状语从句的连接结构(so...that.../such...that.../too...to.../enough...to...)。
结合语境,“smart” 是形容词,“so + 形容词 + that 从句” 表示 “如此…… 以至于……”;“such” 后需接名词短语,“too...to...”“enough...to...” 后接动词原形(无从句),均不符合,故填 “so; that”。
4. My father planned ______ a robot to take care of my grandma when he is busy.
A. buy B. buying C. to buy D. bought
【答案】C
【解析】句意:我爸爸计划买一个机器人,在他忙的时候照顾我奶奶。

—______ They can do dangerous work, but they can't think like humans.
A. Yes, they could. B. No, they couldn't. C. I'm not sure. D. That's impossible.
【答案】C
【解析】句意:— 未来机器人能在一些工作中取代人类吗?—______它们能做危险的工作,但不能像人类一样思考。
考查知识点:情景交际,对一般疑问句的回答逻辑。
结合语境,答句既肯定了机器人的作用(能做危险工作),又否定了其完全替代性(不能像人一样思考),未明确 “能” 或 “不能”,因此 “yes”“no”“that's impossible” 均过于绝对,“I'm not sure”(我不确定)符合逻辑,故填 “I'm not sure”。
6. Tom saw his robot ______ the floor when he got home yesterday.
A. clean B. to clean C. cleaned D. cleaning
【答案】D
【解析】句意:昨天汤姆回家时,看见他的机器人正在扫地。
考查知识点:非谓语动词,“see” 的固定搭配(see sb do/doing sth)。
结合语境,“when he got home yesterday”(昨天回家时)强调动作正在进行,“see sb doing sth” 表示 “看见某人正在做某事”;“see sb do sth” 表示看见动作全过程,“to clean”“cleaned” 均不符合 “see” 的搭配,故填 “cleaning”。
7. The engineer told us ______ the robot needs to be checked every three months.
A. that B. if C. whether D. what
【答案】A
【解析】句意:工程师告诉我们,这个机器人需要每三个月检查一次。
考查知识点:宾语从句的连接词辨析。
结合语境,宾语从句 “the robot needs to be checked every three months” 是完整的陈述句(不缺成分、无疑问语气),需用 “that” 引导;“if/whether” 引导 “是否” 类疑问从句,“what” 引导缺宾语的从句,均不符合,故填 “that”。
8. This robot is ______ expensive ______ most families can't afford it.
A. such; that B. too; to C. enough; to D. so; that
【答案】D
【解析】句意:这个机器人如此昂贵,以至于大多数家庭都买不起。
考查知识点:结果状语从句的连接结构(so...that.../such...that.../too...to.../enough...to...)。
结合语境,“expensive” 是形容词,“so + 形容词 + that 从句” 表示 “如此…… 以至于……”;“such” 后接名词短语,“too...to...”“enough...to...” 后接动词原形(无从句),均不符合,故填 “so; that”。
9. —Do you know ______ the robot show will start?
—At 9 a.m. tomorrow.
A. where B. why C. when D. how
【答案】C
【解析】句意:— 你知道机器人展将何时开始吗?— 明天上午 9 点。
考查知识点:疑问词辨析,宾语从句的语境匹配。
结合语境,答句 “At 9 a.m. tomorrow”(明天上午 9 点)是具体时间,因此疑问词需表 “时间”;“where” 表地点,“why” 表原因,“how” 表方式,均不符合,故填 “when”。
10. My mother feels ______ comfortable to live with the smart robot.
A. this B. it C. that D. what
【答案】B
【解析】句意:我妈妈觉得和这个智能机器人一起生活很舒服。
考查知识点:形式宾语 “it” 的用法。
结合语境,句子真正的宾语是 “to live with the smart robot”,“feel it + 形容词 + to do sth” 是固定结构,“it” 作形式宾语,代替真正宾语;“this”“that”“what” 均无此用法,故填 “it”。
二、完形填空。(本大题共12小题,每小题1分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
14-year-old Lina recently got a new "smart trash bin" from her dad, who works in a home appliance store. He said the bin uses simple science to make waste sorting 11 ______—and Lina soon found out he was right.
At first, Lina thought the bin was just like any other. But when she threw a paper box into it, a small screen on the bin lit up and said, "Paper waste. Correct!" She was surprised, so she tried a plastic bottle next. The screen showed, "Plastic. Please put in the blue compartment(隔层)." Lina realized the bin had a scanner that 12 ______ different waste types. Her dad explained, "It uses light to tell materials apart—paper reflects light differently from plastic."
One evening, Lina accidentally dropped a wet napkin into the paper compartment. The bin beeped(发出蜂鸣声)and flashed a red light. "Wet waste mixed in!" it reminded her. Lina quickly took the napkin out and put it in the wet waste bin. She laughed, "It’s like having a waste-sorting 13 ______ with me!"
A week later, the bin’s screen showed "Low battery". Lina worried she’d need to plug it in, but her dad said, "It has a solar panel(太阳能板)on the top—just put it near the window." Sure enough, after a day in sunlight, the bin turned on again. "Solar energy is free and clean," her dad told her. "That’s why more home tools use it now." Lina nodded, thinking about how her desk lamp also 14 ______ solar power on sunny days.
One Saturday, Lina’s friend Tao came over. He wanted to throw a banana peel into the general waste bin, but the smart bin stopped him. "Banana peel is wet waste," it said. Tao was shocked, "How does it know that?" Lina explained the scanner and solar panel to him, and Tao said, "Science makes even trash bins 15 ______!"
But the bin isn’t perfect. Once, Lina threw a metal can into the plastic compartment. The scanner didn’t notice, and the bin didn’t warn her. Her dad said, "It works best for common materials—metals can be tricky sometimes." Lina nodded, understanding that no tool is 16 ______.
Weeks later, Lina noticed the bin’s scanner was slower than before. She told her dad, and he said, "Dust might be blocking the scanner—let’s clean it together." They used a soft brush to wipe the scanner, and 17 ______ the bin worked like new again. Lina learned that even smart tools need regular care, just like her bike needs oiling.
Now, Lina uses the bin every day. It has taught her to sort waste carefully and made her more interested in the science behind home tools. She even started checking other things at home—like how her electric kettle turns off by itself when water boils. "I never thought science was so close to life," Lina said. "It’s not just in textbooks—it’s in the little things we use 18 ______ day."
Last month, Lina’s class had a "Science in Daily Life" presentation. She talked about her smart trash bin and showed photos of its solar panel and scanner. Her classmates asked lots of questions, and even the teacher said, "This is a great example of how science 19 ______ our lives easier."
Lina now tells everyone she knows about her "science bin". She says, "It’s not just a trash bin—it’s a way to learn. 20 ______ you pay attention, you’ll find science everywhere." And every time she throws away waste, she remembers: small tools with science can make a big difference to our daily lives. She even made a small poster about her bin, drawing pictures of its solar panel and scanner, to share with her neighborhood—hoping more people will learn about 21 ______ science helps with daily tasks. Thanks to this smart bin, Lina not only sorts waste better but also becomes a little "science speaker" who 22 ______ others to notice science around them.
11. A. harder B. easier C. slower D. busier
12. A. identifies B. collects C. hides D. invents

【导语】这是一篇记叙文,讲述了 14 岁女孩莉娜从父亲那里得到一个智能垃圾桶后的经历。文章围绕智能垃圾桶的功能(识别垃圾类型、太阳能供电)、使用中的小插曲(识别失误、扫描变慢)展开,展现了科技如何融入日常生活,也体现了莉娜对生活中科学知识的探索与兴趣提升,以及她向他人分享科学知识的过程。
11. 句意:他(莉娜的父亲)说这个垃圾桶运用简单的科学原理,让垃圾分类变得______—— 莉娜很快发现他说得对。
解题依据:根据后文描述,垃圾桶能通过扫描识别垃圾类型、提示正确分类(如 “Paper waste. Correct!”“Plastic. Please put in the blue compartment”),可见它是 “简化” 了垃圾分类流程,而非 “更难(harder)”“更慢(slower)”“更忙(busier)”。
结论:应填 “easier”,选 B。
12. 句意:莉娜意识到这个垃圾桶有一个能______不同垃圾类型的扫描仪。
解题依据:前文提到 “当她扔纸盒时,屏幕显示‘纸质垃圾,正确’;扔塑料瓶时,屏幕提示‘塑料,请放入蓝色隔层’”,这些细节表明扫描仪的作用是 “识别” 垃圾类型,而非 “收集(collects)”“隐藏(hides)”“发明(invents)”。
结论:应填 “identifies”,选 A。
13. 句意:她笑着说:“这就像身边有一个垃圾分类______!”
解题依据:垃圾桶会提示垃圾的正确分类方式(如 “Wet waste mixed in!”),相当于在 “教导” 莉娜如何正确分类,符合 “老师(teacher)” 的功能属性;“学生(student)”“医生(doctor)”“艺术家(artist)” 均与 “指导分类” 的场景无关。
结论:应填 “teacher”,选 B。
14. 句意:莉娜点点头,想着她的台灯在晴天时也______太阳能。
解题依据:前文父亲提到 “太阳能免费又清洁,现在更多家居工具都在使用它”,此处莉娜联想台灯的情况,应是 “使用(uses)” 太阳能,而非 “拒绝(refuses)”“售卖(sells)”“浪费(wastes)”。
结论:应填 “uses”,选 D。
15. 句意:莉娜向他解释了扫描仪和太阳能板,涛说:“科学甚至能让垃圾桶变得______!”

结论:应填 “smart”,选 C。
16. 句意:莉娜点点头,明白没有任何工具是______的。
解题依据:前文提到 “垃圾桶并不完美(isn’t perfect)”,比如金属罐扔进塑料隔层时,扫描仪未识别也未提醒,此处是对 “不完美” 的总结,即 “没有工具是完美的(perfect)”;“便宜(cheap)”“旧(old)”“新(new)” 均与 “工具的功能缺陷” 无关。
结论:应填 “perfect”,选 A。
17. 句意:他们用软刷擦拭扫描仪,______垃圾桶又像新的一样工作了。
解题依据:“擦拭扫描仪” 是修复垃圾桶的动作,动作完成后 “最终(finally)” 达到 “恢复正常工作” 的结果;“突然(suddenly)” 强调意外,“最近(recently)” 强调时间,“通常(usually)” 强调常态,均不符合 “修复后见效” 的逻辑。
结论:应填 “finally”,选 B。

19. 句意:她的同学问了很多问题,连老师都说:“这是一个很好的例子,说明科学如何让我们的生活变得更轻松。”
解题依据:“make + 宾语 + 形容词” 是固定搭配,表 “使…… 变得……”,此处 “makes our lives easier”(让生活更轻松)符合语境;“keeps”(保持)需搭配 “keep + 宾语 + 形容词”,但 “keep our lives easier” 无 “使变得” 的动态含义,“finds”(发现)、“lets”(让,后接动词原形)均不搭配 “形容词”。
结论:应填 “makes”,选 D。
20. 句意:______你留心观察,你会发现科学无处不在。
解题依据:“留心观察” 是 “发现科学无处不在” 的条件,“If”(如果)引导条件状语从句,符合逻辑;“Unless”(除非,表否定条件)、“Though”(尽管,表让步)、“Because”(因为,表原因)均不符合 “条件 - 结果” 的关系。
结论:应填 “If”,选 B。
21. 句意:她甚至制作了一张关于这个垃圾桶的小海报,画上它的太阳能板和扫描仪,与邻居分享 —— 希望更多人了解科学如何帮助完成日常事务。
解题依据:“how science helps with daily tasks”(科学如何帮助完成日常事务)强调 “方式”,符合海报 “分享科学作用” 的目的;“why”(为什么,表原因)、“when”(何时,表时间)、“where”(哪里,表地点)均不匹配 “科学帮助做事” 的核心。
结论:应填 “how”,选 A。
22. 句意:多亏了这个智能垃圾桶,莉娜不仅能更好地分类垃圾,还成了一个小小的 “科学传播者”,______其他人关注身边的科学。
解题依据:莉娜制作海报分享、在课堂展示,这些行为是 “鼓励(encourages)” 他人关注科学;“stops”(阻止)、“prevents”(防止)与她的 “传播者” 身份相反,“warns”(警告)不符合 “引导关注” 的语境。
结论:应填 “encourages”,选 B。

My Friend and Her Robot Helper
Lily is my best friend. Her mother has a serious back problem and can't do heavy housework. Last year, Lily's family bought a robot called Max to help around the house.
Max is about 1.2 meters tall with a round body and two long arms. Every morning, it wakes Lily up at 7 o'clock and makes breakfast for the family. Then it cleans the house—sweeping the floor, wiping the windows and tidying up the rooms. In the afternoon, it helps Lily's mother water the plants and take out the rubbish. When Lily finishes her homework, Max even plays chess with her. It's not very good at chess, but it always tries its best.
Last month, Lily's mother fell down and couldn't walk. Max took care of her carefully. It helped her get out of bed, brought her water and medicine on time, and even read books to her when she felt bored. Lily said that without Max, her family would have a hard time.
I once asked Lily if she was afraid that Max would break down. She said, "Of course, but the robot shop gives a two-year warranty. If Max has problems, they will send an engineer to fix it for free. And even if it breaks down one day, I will remember all the help it gave us. "I think Max is not just a robot—it's like a member of Lily's family.
23. Why did Lily's family buy Max?
A. To help Lily with her homework. B. To take care of Lily's mother.
C. To help with heavy housework. D. To play chess with Lily.
24. What can't Max do according to the passage?
A. Help Lily's mother walk. B. Clean the house. C. Make breakfast. D. Read books.
25. What does the underlined word "warranty" mean in Chinese?
A. 发票 B. 保修单 C. 说明书 D. 合格证

The Story of "Robot and Boy"
"Robot and Boy" is a popular novel written by British writer David Wilson. The story takes place in the year 2050, when robots are very common in people's lives. The main character is a 10-year-old boy named Tom, who lives with his parents in a small town.
Tom's parents are both scientists who work on robot research. They made a special robot called Neo for Tom. Neo is different from other robots—it has emotions. It can feel happy, sad and even angry. At first, Tom is very excited to have Neo. They play football together, go to the park and read books. Neo always helps Tom when he is in trouble. For example, when Tom is bullied by other boys at school, Neo stands up for him and tells the teacher about the problem.
But as time goes by, Tom starts to feel jealous of Neo. His parents spend more time improving Neo's functions than playing with him. Tom thinks his parents love Neo more than him. One day, Tom runs away from home. He goes to a forest and gets lost. Neo notices Tom is missing and goes to look for him. It searches the forest day and night, even when its battery is low. Finally, Neo finds Tom, who is cold and hungry. Neo gives Tom its last bit of energy to keep him warm and calls Tom's parents.
When Tom wakes up in the hospital, he sees Neo lying next to him, but it can't work anymore. Tom cries and realizes how much Neo cares about him. His parents tell Tom that they love him more than anything, and they only work on Neo to make it a better friend for him. Later, Tom's parents fix Neo, and Tom and Neo become closer than ever.

Robot Athletes: New Stars in Sports
You may have seen robots playing football or dancing, but have you ever heard of robot athletes competing in sports events? In recent years, robot sports have become more and more popular around the world.
The first robot sports event was held in Japan in 1990. At that time, only a few teams took part in the robot football match. Now, there are many kinds of robot sports events, such as robot running, robot swimming and robot basketball. The most famous one is the RoboCup, which is held every year. Teams from different countries send their robot athletes to compete.
Robot athletes have many advantages over human athletes. They don't get tired, so they can keep competing for a long time. They also don't feel nervous, so they can perform well under pressure. For example, in a robot running race, the robot can run at a constant speed and never slow down. In a robot swimming race, the robot can adjust its body position quickly to swim faster.
But robot athletes also have some disadvantages. They need to be controlled by humans, so they can't make decisions on their own. If the program has a problem, the robot will stop working. Also, making robot athletes is very expensive. A top robot football player can cost up to $100,000.
Some people think that robot sports will replace human sports in the future. But most people disagree. They think that human sports are about passion(激情)and teamwork, which robot sports can't have. Robot sports are more about technology and innovation. They can help us develop better technology and inspire more young people to study science.
Whether robot sports will become more popular or not, one thing is sure—they are a new and interesting part of the sports world.
33. When was the first robot sports event held?
A. In 1980. B. In 1990. C. In 2000. D. In 2010.
34. What is the most famous robot sports event?
A. The Olympics. B. The World Cup. C. The RoboCup. D. The Asian Games.
35. What is an advantage of robot athletes?
A. They can keep competing for a long time. B. They feel nervous under pressure.
C. They get tired easily. D. They can make decisions on their own.
36. What do most people think about robot sports?
A. They will replace human sports soon. B. They are about passion and teamwork.
C. They can help develop technology. D. They are more exciting than human sports.
【答案】33. B 34. C 35. A 36. C

Robots are becoming more and more common in our daily lives. They can help us with many things, from housework to work. But do you know how robots are made? 37
First, engineers need to design the robot. They decide what the robot will look like and what functions it will have. For example, if the robot is for cleaning, it needs to have a vacuum(吸尘器)function and wheels to move around. 38 They use computer software to draw 3D models of the robot.
Second, workers make the parts of the robot. Some parts are made of metal, and some are made of plastic.
39 For example, the robot's arms need to be strong enough to lift things, and its sensors(传感器)need to be accurate(精确的)to detect(探测)objects.
Third, the parts are assembled(组装)together. Engineers connect the robot's body, arms, legs and other parts. Then they install(安装)the computer program that controls the robot. 40 They test if the robot can move, talk and do the tasks it is supposed to do. If there is a problem, they fix it.
Finally, the robot is ready to be sold or used. Making a robot takes a lot of time and effort, but it's worth it because robots can make our lives easier.
A. After designing, they make a plan for the robot's parts.
B. The process of making a robot is long and complicated.
C. Robots can also help doctors perform difficult operations.
D. Each part must be made carefully to ensure the robot works well.
E. Once the program is installed, engineers test the robot.
F. Some robots are designed to work in factories to make cars.

五、阅读短文,回答问题。(共 4 小题,前 3 小题每题 2 分,第 4 小题 3 分,满分 9 分)
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答下列问题。注意:前3题,每题答案不得超过 10 个词;第4小题不限词数。
Robot Teachers in Rural Schools
In some rural areas of China, there is a shortage of teachers, especially English teachers. Many children in these areas can't get good English education because their schools don't have enough qualified English teachers. To solve this problem, some schools have started using robot teachers.
The robot teachers are about 1.5 meters tall. They have a screen for a face, which can show different expressions like smiling or nodding. They are connected to the Internet and have a lot of teaching materials in their system. For example, they can teach students new words, read English stories and play English songs. They can also correct students' pronunciation by comparing it with standard pronunciation.
The robot teachers have helped improve students' English skills. A study shows that students who learn from robot teachers have better test scores than those who don't. For example, in a school in Guizhou, the average(平均的)English score of students increased by 15 points after using robot teachers for one year. Also, the robot teachers make English classes more interesting. Students are more willing to speak English in class because they are not afraid of making mistakes in front of a robot.
However, robot teachers also have some limitations . They can't answer all the students' questions, especially questions about grammar or culture. They also can't understand students' emotions. For example, if a student is sad because he failed a test, the robot teacher can't comfort him like a human teacher.
Despite these limitations, robot teachers are still a good solution to the teacher shortage in rural areas. They can help more children get access to good English education. In the future, engineers will improve robot teachers to make them more intelligent and more like human teachers.
41. Why do some rural schools use robot teachers?
42. What can robot teachers do in English classes?
43. How have robot teachers helped students in Guizhou?
44. Do you think robot teachers will replace human teachers in the future? Why or why not?
【答案】
41. To solve teacher shortage.
42. Teach words, read stories, etc.
43. Their average score rose by 15 points.
44. No. Because robot teachers can’t understand students’ emotions or answer all questions like human teachers.(答案不唯一,合理即可)
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国部分农村地区因师资(尤其英语教师)短缺,引入机器人教师解决英语教育问题的情况。文章阐述了机器人教师的外观、教学功能、对学生英语学习的帮助,同时指出其在答疑、情感理解上的局限,最后说明机器人教师仍是缓解农村师资短缺的有效方案,并展望其未来改进方向。
41. 题目意思:为什么一些农村学校使用机器人教师?
解题依据:根据短文第一段第一句 “In some rural areas of China, there is a shortage of teachers...” 和最后一句 “To solve this problem, some schools have started using robot teachers” 可知,农村学校用机器人教师的核心原因是 “解决师资短缺问题”。
答案逻辑:需用简洁语言概括 “解决师资短缺”,且控制在 10 词以内,故答案为 “To solve teacher shortage.”。
42. 题目意思:机器人教师在英语课上能做什么?
解题依据:根据短文第二段第四句 “For example, they can teach students new words, read English stories and play English songs. They can also correct students' pronunciation...” 可知,机器人教师的课堂行为包括教单词、读故事、播放歌曲、纠正发音等。
答案逻辑:需列举核心行为且控制在 10 词以内,用 “etc.” 概括未列举的内容,故答案为 “Teach words, read stories, etc.”。
43. 题目意思:机器人教师如何帮助贵州的学生?
解题依据:根据短文第三段第三句 “For example, in a school in Guizhou, the average English score of students increased by 15 points after using robot teachers for one year” 可知,贵州学生的直接受益是 “平均英语成绩提高 15 分”。
答案逻辑:需准确提炼 “平均成绩提高 15 分” 这一关键信息,且控制在 10 词以内,故答案为 “Their average score rose by 15 points.”。
44. 题目意思:你认为未来机器人教师会取代人类教师吗?为什么?
解题依据:根据短文第四段可知,机器人教师存在 “无法回答所有问题(尤其语法、文化类)”“不能理解学生情感(无法像人类教师一样安慰学生)” 的局限;同时短文最后提到 “未来会改进机器人教师,但未提及能完全替代人类教师”。
答案逻辑:基于短文对机器人教师 “局限性” 的描述,可得出 “不会取代” 的结论,理由需结合 “无法理解情感”“不能解答所有问题” 等原文信息,保证观点与理由一致,故示例答案为 “No. Because robot teachers can’t understand students’ emotions or answer all questions like human teachers.”。
六、短文填空。(共 10 小题,每小题 1 分,满分 10 分)
阅读下面短文,用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空,或根据上下文在空白处填入一个适当的词,使短文通顺、完整。
When thinking about future careers, middle school students often face choices—some dream of becoming doctors to save lives, while others want to be engineers who build new things. Today, the rise of technology has made "robot-related jobs" a new option for young people 45 (plan) their careers.
Many jobs in the robot field don’t require super advanced skills right now. For example, a robot maintenance technician 46 (need)to check robots’ parts regularly, like making sure their batteries work well or fixing small program errors. This job is suitable for students who are good at hands-on work and enjoy 47 (solve) practical problems.
If you love working with people, you could be a robot trainer. Some robots, such as those in hospitals or schools, need to be taught how to interact with humans. Trainers help robots learn to respond to voices or follow simple orders—this job asks for patience and good communication skills, which many students 48 (already develop) through group activities at school.
For students interested in design, a robot designer is a great fit. Designers draw plans for robots based on what the robots will be used for: a robot for space exploration needs to be strong and lightweight, 49 a robot for home use should be small and easy to control. This job combines art and science, so it’s perfect if you like both drawing and physics.
It’s important to start preparing early if you want a career in robots. You can join school science clubs to build simple robots, or read books about robot technology to learn basic knowledge. Remember, every big career starts with small steps. Even if you don’t become a robot expert right away, the skills you gain—like critical thinking and teamwork—will help you in any future job.
No matter what career you choose, the key is to pick something that matches your interests. The robot field is growing fast, and it 50 (offer) more and more chances for young people. So take time to explore, ask questions, and keep learning—your dream career might be just around the corner, waiting for you to 51 (reach) for it.
Some students worry that robot jobs are too hard, but in fact, many entry-level positions are designed for beginners. For example, a robot salesperson doesn’t need to know how to build robots—they just need to understand what robots can do and help customers choose the right one. This job is great for students who are outgoing and good at 52 (explain) things to others.
As you think about your future, don’t forget to consider how technology changes careers. Robots are not just tools—they’re creating new jobs that didn’t exist 10 years ago. By keeping an open mind and learning new skills, you can get ready for the careers of tomorrow.
In the end, career planning is about finding a job that makes you happy and allows you to contribute to the world. Whether you work with robots or in another field, the most important thing is to follow your passion and keep 53 (improve) yourself. With hard work and preparation, you can turn your career dreams 54 reality.

二、完形填空。(本大题共12小题,每小题1分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
14-year-old Lina recently got a new "smart trash bin" from her dad, who works in a home appliance store. He said the bin uses simple science to make waste sorting 11 ______—and Lina soon found out he was right.
At first, Lina thought the bin was just like any other. But when she threw a paper box into it, a small screen on the bin lit up and said, "Paper waste. Correct!" She was surprised, so she tried a plastic bottle next. The screen showed, "Plastic. Please put in the blue compartment(隔层)." Lina realized the bin had a scanner that 12 ______ different waste types. Her dad explained, "It uses light to tell materials apart—paper reflects light differently from plastic."
One evening, Lina accidentally dropped a wet napkin into the paper compartment. The bin beeped(发出蜂鸣声)and flashed a red light. "Wet waste mixed in!" it reminded her. Lina quickly took the napkin out and put it in the wet waste bin. She laughed, "It’s like having a waste-sorting 13 ______ with me!"
A week later, the bin’s screen showed "Low battery". Lina worried she’d need to plug it in, but her dad said, "It has a solar panel(太阳能板)on the top—just put it near the window." Sure enough, after a day in sunlight, the bin turned on again. "Solar energy is free and clean," her dad told her. "That’s why more home tools use it now." Lina nodded, thinking about how her desk lamp also 14 ______ solar power on sunny days.
One Saturday, Lina’s friend Tao came over. He wanted to throw a banana peel into the general waste bin, but the smart bin stopped him. "Banana peel is wet waste," it said. Tao was shocked, "How does it know that?" Lina explained the scanner and solar panel to him, and Tao said, "Science makes even trash bins 15 ______!"
But the bin isn’t perfect. Once, Lina threw a metal can into the plastic compartment. The scanner didn’t notice, and the bin didn’t warn her. Her dad said, "It works best for common materials—metals can be tricky sometimes." Lina nodded, understanding that no tool is 16 ______.
Weeks later, Lina noticed the bin’s scanner was slower than before. She told her dad, and he said, "Dust might be blocking the scanner—let’s clean it together." They used a soft brush to wipe the scanner, and 17 ______ the bin worked like new again. Lina learned that even smart tools need regular care, just like her bike needs oiling.
Now, Lina uses the bin every day. It has taught her to sort waste carefully and made her more interested in the science behind home tools. She even started checking other things at home—like how her electric kettle turns off by itself when water boils. "I never thought science was so close to life," Lina said. "It’s not just in textbooks—it’s in the little things we use 18 ______ day."
Last month, Lina’s class had a "Science in Daily Life" presentation. She talked about her smart trash bin and showed photos of its solar panel and scanner. Her classmates asked lots of questions, and even the teacher said, "This is a great example of how science 19 ______ our lives easier."
Lina now tells everyone she knows about her "science bin". She says, "It’s not just a trash bin—it’s a way to learn. 20 ______ you pay attention, you’ll find science everywhere." And every time she throws away waste, she remembers: small tools with science can make a big difference to our daily lives. She even made a small poster about her bin, drawing pictures of its solar panel and scanner, to share with her neighborhood—hoping more people will learn about 21 ______ science helps with daily tasks. Thanks to this smart bin, Lina not only sorts waste better but also becomes a little "science speaker" who 22 ______ others to notice science around them.
11. A. harder B. easier C. slower D. busier
12. A. identifies B. collects C. hides D. invents
13. A. student B. teacher C. doctor D. artist

My Friend and Her Robot Helper
Lily is my best friend. Her mother has a serious back problem and can't do heavy housework. Last year, Lily's family bought a robot called Max to help around the house.
Max is about 1.2 meters tall with a round body and two long arms. Every morning, it wakes Lily up at 7 o'clock and makes breakfast for the family. Then it cleans the house—sweeping the floor, wiping the windows and tidying up the rooms. In the afternoon, it helps Lily's mother water the plants and take out the rubbish. When Lily finishes her homework, Max even plays chess with her. It's not very good at chess, but it always tries its best.
Last month, Lily's mother fell down and couldn't walk. Max took care of her carefully. It helped her get out of bed, brought her water and medicine on time, and even read books to her when she felt bored. Lily said that without Max, her family would have a hard time.
I once asked Lily if she was afraid that Max would break down. She said, "Of course, but the robot shop gives a two-year warranty. If Max has problems, they will send an engineer to fix it for free. And even if it breaks down one day, I will remember all the help it gave us. "I think Max is not just a robot—it's like a member of Lily's family.

Robot Athletes: New Stars in Sports
You may have seen robots playing football or dancing, but have you ever heard of robot athletes competing in sports events? In recent years, robot sports have become more and more popular around the world.
The first robot sports event was held in Japan in 1990. At that time, only a few teams took part in the robot football match. Now, there are many kinds of robot sports events, such as robot running, robot swimming and robot basketball. The most famous one is the RoboCup, which is held every year. Teams from different countries send their robot athletes to compete.
Robot athletes have many advantages over human athletes. They don't get tired, so they can keep competing for a long time. They also don't feel nervous, so they can perform well under pressure. For example, in a robot running race, the robot can run at a constant speed and never slow down. In a robot swimming race, the robot can adjust its body position quickly to swim faster.
But robot athletes also have some disadvantages. They need to be controlled by humans, so they can't make decisions on their own. If the program has a problem, the robot will stop working. Also, making robot athletes is very expensive. A top robot football player can cost up to $100,000.
Some people think that robot sports will replace human sports in the future. But most people disagree. They think that human sports are about passion(激情)and teamwork, which robot sports can't have. Robot sports are more about technology and innovation. They can help us develop better technology and inspire more young people to study science.
Whether robot sports will become more popular or not, one thing is sure—they are a new and interesting part of the sports world.
33. When was the first robot sports event held?
A. In 1980. B. In 1990. C. In 2000. D. In 2010.

Robots are becoming more and more common in our daily lives. They can help us with many things, from housework to work. But do you know how robots are made? 37
First, engineers need to design the robot. They decide what the robot will look like and what functions it will have. For example, if the robot is for cleaning, it needs to have a vacuum(吸尘器)function and wheels to move around. 38 They use computer software to draw 3D models of the robot.
Second, workers make the parts of the robot. Some parts are made of metal, and some are made of plastic.
39 For example, the robot's arms need to be strong enough to lift things, and its sensors(传感器)need to be accurate(精确的)to detect(探测)objects.
Third, the parts are assembled(组装)together. Engineers connect the robot's body, arms, legs and other parts. Then they install(安装)the computer program that controls the robot. 40 They test if the robot can move, talk and do the tasks it is supposed to do. If there is a problem, they fix it.
Finally, the robot is ready to be sold or used. Making a robot takes a lot of time and effort, but it's worth it because robots can make our lives easier.
A. After designing, they make a plan for the robot's parts.
B. The process of making a robot is long and complicated.
C. Robots can also help doctors perform difficult operations.
D. Each part must be made carefully to ensure the robot works well.
E. Once the program is installed, engineers test the robot.
F. Some robots are designed to work in factories to make cars.

Robot Teachers in Rural Schools
In some rural areas of China, there is a shortage of teachers, especially English teachers. Many children in these areas can't get good English education because their schools don't have enough qualified English teachers. To solve this problem, some schools have started using robot teachers.
The robot teachers are about 1.5 meters tall. They have a screen for a face, which can show different expressions like smiling or nodding. They are connected to the Internet and have a lot of teaching materials in their system. For example, they can teach students new words, read English stories and play English songs. They can also correct students' pronunciation by comparing it with standard pronunciation.
The robot teachers have helped improve students' English skills. A study shows that students who learn from robot teachers have better test scores than those who don't. For example, in a school in Guizhou, the average(平均的)English score of students increased by 15 points after using robot teachers for one year. Also, the robot teachers make English classes more interesting. Students are more willing to speak English in class because they are not afraid of making mistakes in front of a robot.
However, robot teachers also have some limitations . They can't answer all the students' questions, especially questions about grammar or culture. They also can't understand students' emotions. For example, if a student is sad because he failed a test, the robot teacher can't comfort him like a human teacher.
Despite these limitations, robot teachers are still a good solution to the teacher shortage in rural areas. They can help more children get access to good English education. In the future, engineers will improve robot teachers to make them more intelligent and more like human teachers.
41. Why do some rural schools use robot teachers?
42. What can robot teachers do in English classes?
43. How have robot teachers helped students in Guizhou?
44. Do you think robot teachers will replace human teachers in the future? Why or why not?

When thinking about future careers, middle school students often face choices—some dream of becoming doctors to save lives, while others want to be engineers who build new things. Today, the rise of technology has made "robot-related jobs" a new option for young people 45 (plan) their careers.
Many jobs in the robot field don’t require super advanced skills right now. For example, a robot maintenance technician 46 (need)to check robots’ parts regularly, like making sure their batteries work well or fixing small program errors. This job is suitable for students who are good at hands-on work and enjoy 47 (solve) practical problems.
If you love working with people, you could be a robot trainer. Some robots, such as those in hospitals or schools, need to be taught how to interact with humans. Trainers help robots learn to respond to voices or follow simple orders—this job asks for patience and good communication skills, which many students 48 (already develop) through group activities at school.
For students interested in design, a robot designer is a great fit. Designers draw plans for robots based on what the robots will be used for: a robot for space exploration needs to be strong and lightweight, 49 a robot for home use should be small and easy to control. This job combines art and science, so it’s perfect if you like both drawing and physics.
It’s important to start preparing early if you want a career in robots. You can join school science clubs to build simple robots, or read books about robot technology to learn basic knowledge. Remember, every big career starts with small steps. Even if you don’t become a robot expert right away, the skills you gain—like critical thinking and teamwork—will help you in any future job.
No matter what career you choose, the key is to pick something that matches your interests. The robot field is growing fast, and it 50 (offer) more and more chances for young people. So take time to explore, ask questions, and keep learning—your dream career might be just around the corner, waiting for you to 51 (reach) for it.
Some students worry that robot jobs are too hard, but in fact, many entry-level positions are designed for beginners. For example, a robot salesperson doesn’t need to know how to build robots—they just need to understand what robots can do and help customers choose the right one. This job is great for students who are outgoing and good at 52 (explain) things to others.
As you think about your future, don’t forget to consider how technology changes careers. Robots are not just tools—they’re creating new jobs that didn’t exist 10 years ago. By keeping an open mind and learning new skills, you can get ready for the careers of tomorrow.
In the end, career planning is about finding a job that makes you happy and allows you to contribute to the world. Whether you work with robots or in another field, the most important thing is to follow your passion and keep 53 (improve) yourself. With hard work and preparation, you can turn your career dreams 54 reality.
