It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. So how do they work? The cars have sensors (感应器) all around. They can help discover other cars and avoid 16 in the road. Sensors on the wheels also help when parking, so the car knows how far it is from the other parked cars. Road signs are read by cameras, and hi-tech systems are used so the car knows how to get to where you are going. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system will 17 all the information it receives from the sensors and work out when to speed up, stop and turn. Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while “driving” would be 18 with this new technology. You wouldn’t have to worry about remembering directions.

Computers would have 20 making ethical (伦理的) or legal (法律的) decisions; if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or kill the car’s passengers? Should children be 21 in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a 22 adult with a driving license in the car at all times? Many people would lose their jobs because of driverless cars. Bus, taxi, train and tram drivers would be 23 . I’m not so sure about whether I’d want a driverless car, but it’s only a matter of time before they become more common on our roads. 三、单词拼写（每小题1分,满分8分） 24．Zhaxi (cook) for his parents at this time yesterday. 25．He (drink) tea with a few old friends in a park when we arrived. 26．I think DeepSeek can’t take the place of humans , though it can help people in many ways.

Human-like friendsRobots will be more like humans both in their looks and abilities. These robots will serve as greeters, waiters and companions of the elderly. Elon Musk’s company is working hard on making human-like robots that will work in our home. More AI systems will play roles-in areas like health care and scientific research. Protecting the earthOne of the most difficult challenges the world faces today is reducing carbon emissions. This year we can expect more progress in green hydrogen, a new clean energy with near-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists will also have a safer way to deal with nuclear waste. The used nuclear fuel will be buried 400 meters underground. Space and beyondThe images from the world’s largest and most powerful space telescope—the James Webb Space Telescope—have amazed the world. And the Euclid Space Telescope will be launched. It will take photos to create a 3D map of the universe. China will continue to build the Xinjiang Qitai Radio Telescope. It will be able to watch 75% of the stars in the sky at any given time. Staying connectedPeople will communicate more smoothly. In China, the Beidou Navigation Satellite System can now be directly connected to mobile phones. We can find where the phones are even when there’s no signal. A US company is also working on a direct connection between phones and satellites. The impact of 5G will continue to grow. 39．We can probably read this article in a __________.

Yet, many believe that true art can only come from human hands. So, can robots take the place of artists? Yes-Robots are the artists of the futureCreating a robot is, in some ways, an art form. The human engineer must think creatively about what the robot will do and then bring that idea to life. Because robots are designed with imagination and creativity, they can also create art. Many famous artists today 45 robots to help with their work. These artists believe that robots have a special ability. 46 human artists, who might worry if their work isn’t good enough or wonder whether to keep going, robots are reliable. They don’t get discouraged or 47 . Robots can be just as skilled as human artists and could even take the place of them in creating art. No-Human skill is what makes artOne reason millions of people visit museums and galleries each year is to see art created by humans. Art made by a robot doesn’t have the same feeling and emotion that human-made art has, and it doesn’t have the same impact on the audience. People are 48 art when they can see the love and skill behind it. Imperfections in the artwork can also make it 49 , showing the human touch behind it. Robots can’t take the place of artists because humans have a natural drive to create. From a young age, people pick up crayons, pencils, or pens and start drawing. This 50 to make art will never go away, and robots cannot compete with it. 45．A．refer to B．rely on C．stand for D．point out 46．A．Besides B．As C．Unlike D．Among 47．A．make decisions B．give up C．make progress D．grow up 48．A．moved by B．satisfied with C．confused about D．disappointed at 49．A．dull B．possible C．difficult D．special 50．A．wish B．reason C．desire D．skill 七、短文填空（每小题2分,满分14分） What’s the future of social media? Read the opinions of three experts. Jacob Stone, Media Director The end of screen All types of technology will use v 51 to control. That is to say, you talk to your device and it will follow your instructions. Therefore, screens won’t be important. Wanting the 1 52 smartphones with bigger and better screens will be a thing of the past. Instead, we will see holograms (全息影像)-pictures in the real world. They will look amazingly real. Nowadays we chat with friends and look at their face on our phone or computer. In 20 years, we’ll be able to see them sitting next to us, looking very much like a real person. Alyssa Tyrone, Creative Manager Connected to everything and everyone I think we will definitely have an electronic device inside our body which will connect us to everything around us. We will be connected to the m 53 in our homes and places of work, like our cookers and calculators. Well be connected to the Internet, too. In this way. we can find information just by thinking about it. And, of course, we will be connected to each other. It will be possible to share our thoughts and feelings with each other d 54 , even when we’re in different parts of the world. Dev Khan, Digital Product Developer New ways to communicate with friends At the moment, I keep in touch with my friends on social media by liking posts, w 55 reviews and uploading (上传) photos. In 20 years, I think I will disconnect from all these. I’ll put on a pair of s 56 glasses, which will enable me to meet my friends in virtual (虚拟的) worlds. It will be possible to choose the place, from a beach in Spain to a cafe in London. I’ll bring together people from my real life and my online fiends to have social time together. Even though we’ll all be in different places, we’ll chat and share jokes, and the e 57 will be completely real. 八、任务型阅读（每小题2分,满分10分） Answer the questions（根据以下内容回答问题） At the moment, it may be difficult to imagine, but many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on the planet Mars. Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life could be like. First of all, transport should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars—it takes months. However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars! Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live on. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. However, can these plants produce water for us? There is no answer now. There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars pulls us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we can easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier. Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways. People will have more space. Living in a large building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible. Many people believe that robots will do most of our work, so we have more time for our hobbies. There will probably be no school on Mars. Every student will have a computer at home which is connected to the Internet. They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called “e-teacher”. However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. Food will not be the same—meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. The spaceship will travel fast but the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable. 58．What will our Earth be like in about 80 years? 59．It takes our spaceship months to carry people to Mars at present, doesn’t it? 60．What should scientists do to make it possible for humans to live on Mars? 61．How should humans prevent from easily jumping too high and flying away? 62．Why can we have more time for our hobbies if we live on Mars? 63．What do you think of the life on Mars? Why? Tell at least two reasons. 九、书面表达（满分19分） 64．Write at least 60 words according to the given situation. （根据以下情境写一篇不少于60个词的短文，标点符号不占格。） 阳光博物馆打算举办“2035时间胶囊（2035 Time Capsule.）”主题活动，现正在青少年中征集放进胶囊的物品。“时间胶囊”将于2035年打开，让届时的青少年更直观地了解当代青少年的日常生活。请你写一封信给阳光博物馆的李馆长（Mr.Li）。 信的内容应包括：你打算把什么物品放入“时间胶囊”? 它有什么功能和特点？你为何选择这件物品? 以下物品供参考： ① 一把扫帚（a broom）    ② 一张纸币（a banknote） ③ 一支中性笔（a gel pen）    ④ 一个U盘（a flash drive） ⑤ 一辆共享单车（a shared bicycle）    ⑥ 一段沪剧（a clip of Shanghai Opera） ⑦ 一副近视眼镜（a pair of glasses for short-sightedness） 注意：1.短文中不得出现考生的姓名、校名等个人信息，否则不予评分。 2.照抄阅读语篇不得分。 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 20 1 / 20 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校：______________姓名：_____________班级：_______________考号：______________________ 2025-2026学年九年级下册英语单元测试 Unit 2·提升卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：90分钟，满分：110分） 一、单项选择（每小题1分,满分15分） 1．Many apps today are designed to assist ________ blind with daily tasks.

I’m delighted to learn about your “2035 Time Capsule” project. I want to put a shared bicycle into a “Time Capsule”. Shared bicycles have become a symbol of modern life. Our city streets are flooded with them. They are convenient to use. It only takes about thirty seconds to unlock one. The price is also affordable. As a result, these bikes are quite popular. Moreover, shared bicycles represent a shift in collective environmental awareness. When teenagers in 2035 see the bicycle, they’ll know the importance we placed on protecting the environment. Thank you for considering my suggestion. I hope that the project will be a great success.

Road signs are read by cameras, and hi-tech systems are used so the car knows how to get to where you are going. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system will 17 all the information it receives from the sensors and work out when to speed up, stop and turn. Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while “driving” would be 18 with this new technology. You wouldn’t have to worry about remembering directions.

Many people would lose their jobs because of driverless cars. Bus, taxi, train and tram drivers would be 23 .

Some people think machines can compete with artists. Yet, many believe that true art can only come from human hands. So, can robots take the place of artists? Yes-Robots are the artists of the futureCreating a robot is, in some ways, an art form. The human engineer must think creatively about what the robot will do and then bring that idea to life. Because robots are designed with imagination and creativity, they can also create art. Many famous artists today 45 robots to help with their work. These artists believe that robots have a special ability. 46 human artists, who might worry if their work isn’t good enough or wonder whether to keep going, robots are reliable. They don’t get discouraged or 47 . Robots can be just as skilled as human artists and could even take the place of them in creating art. No-Human skill is what makes artOne reason millions of people visit museums and galleries each year is to see art created by humans. Art made by a robot doesn’t have the same feeling and emotion that human-made art has, and it doesn’t have the same impact on the audience.

Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life could be like. First of all, transport should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars—it takes months. However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars! Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live on. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. However, can these plants produce water for us? There is no answer now. There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars pulls us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we can easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier. Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways. People will have more space. Living in a large building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible. Many people believe that robots will do most of our work, so we have more time for our hobbies. There will probably be no school on Mars. Every student will have a computer at home which is connected to the Internet. They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called “e-teacher”. However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. Food will not be the same—meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. The spaceship will travel fast but the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable. 58．What will our Earth be like in about 80 years? 59．It takes our spaceship months to carry people to Mars at present, doesn’t it? 60．What should scientists do to make it possible for humans to live on Mars? 61．How should humans prevent from easily jumping too high and flying away? 62．Why can we have more time for our hobbies if we live on Mars? 63．What do you think of the life on Mars? Why? Tell at least two reasons. 【答案】58．It will be more and more crowded and polluted. 59．Yes, it does. 60．They should develop plants that can be grown on Mars./ To develop plants that... 61．Humans/They have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier. 62．Because robots will do most of our work. 63．I think it very good to live on Mars. Because people will have more space to live and robot will do most of our work so that people will have more time for hobbies. 【导语】文章讲述了人们移居火星的畅想。未来，我们将在火星上建立一个更好的世界。文中介绍了在火星上生活的优缺点。 58．根据文中“by the year 2100, we will live on the planet Mars.

I’m delighted to learn about your “2035 Time Capsule” project. I want to put a shared bicycle into a “Time Capsule”. Shared bicycles have become a symbol of modern life. Our city streets are flooded with them. They are convenient to use. It only takes about thirty seconds to unlock one. The price is also affordable. As a result, these bikes are quite popular. Moreover, shared bicycles represent a shift in collective environmental awareness. When teenagers in 2035 see the bicycle, they’ll know the importance we placed on protecting the environment.
