AI plays a role in modern communication. Chatbots, a kind of AI-driven tool, have become a necessary part of modern communication. They can understand and reply to users at once. Whether it’s on websites or mobile apps, chatbots can process tons of information and offer support (支持) in real time, not only providing help but also caring about your feelings. Besides, AI users can control smart home tools through voice orders. AI is reshaping (重塑) the way we communicate in our daily lives. AI makes a big difference to traffic. For example, some ride-sharing platforms (拼车平台) depend heavily on AI. AI can deal with plenty of information and match passengers with drivers in a short time, providing better transportation services. And self-driving cars are a main example of AI’s use in transportation, too. With the help of AI, they can reduce accidents and help those unable to drive. AI provides a smart way to education. It changes the way teachers teach and students learn. AI in classrooms can make teaching and learning more interesting, which helps students pay more attention to their studies. AI can also offer students support outside classrooms. For example, it can help with homework, answer questions, and provide explanations through voice orders. By analyzing (分析) students’ strengths, weaknesses and learning needs, AI can make suitable study plans for them. This can help students achieve their learning goals more easily. All in all, AI is shaping and will continue to shape our everyday experiences. 21. What is a chatbot? A. A smart home tool that follows voice orders. B. An AI tool that can talk with people in real time. C. A mobile app that can offer support at once. 22. What is the main topic of the fourth paragraph? A. Ways to improve traffic by AI. B. Examples of AI apps for traffic. C. Changes to cars brought by AI. 23. Which is not the way AI helps with education according to the passage? A. Students watch an interesting video about Dragon Boat Festival made by AI. B. Paula asks AI to play music for her after the final exam. C. Alan uses AI to analyze his learning habits and create a monthly plan. 24. What common ability of AI do the three situations show in the passage? A. Its ability to analyze information. B. Its ability to offer support to people’s feelings. C. Its ability to follow voice orders. 25. What’s the form of the passage? A. B. C. B Look around you. How many things are made of plastic (塑料)? From water bottles and toys to TVs and mobile phones, plastic is everywhere in our daily lives. It first became popular last century. The reason is that it is lightweight, strong, and does not cost much to produce. Also, it can be shaped into almost any form we need. However, plastic’s greatest strength has become its biggest weakness: it lasts for a very long time. Most plastic does not break down naturally. It stays in the environment for hundreds of years. Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste end up in our oceans and landfills (垃圾填埋场). This waste hurts wildlife and pollutes the environment. A lot of this waste comes from single-use items, like bags, straws (吸管) and food packages, which we throw away after using them just once. So, what can we do about this problem? The key is not to stop using plastic completely. It is still too useful in many important areas, like in medicine and technology. Instead, we must focus on the three Rs! Reduce (减少), Reuse, and Recycle. This means we should reduce our use of unnecessary plastic. We should try to reuse plastic items as many times as possible. We should always put plastic waste in the right recycling bins (垃圾桶). New technologies are also helping us find better ways to deal with plastic, like making new kinds that can break down more easily in the future. 26. How is the passage organized? A. By setting examples and comparing facts. B. By telling a story and teaching a lesson. C. By raising a problem and providing solutions. 27. Which can be called a single-use item? A. B. C. 28. Why does plastic waste pollute the environment? A. Because it hurts wildlife. B. Because it doesn’t break down naturally. C. Because it’s thrown away after being used just once. 29. What does the writer advise us to do in order to solve the problem? A. We should make high-tech plastic medical products. B. We should only use plastic in necessary situations. C. We should reuse plastic with the help of the bins. 30 What can we infer (推测) about plastic according to the passage? A. People will not use plastics anymore. B. People will never make single-use plastics. C. People will develop plastics that break down naturally. C Anne’s Decision (Adapted from Anne of Green Gobles) Anne of Green Gables Anne was adopted (收养) by Marilla when she was little. They lived happily together on a farm called Green Gables. Now Anne is going to a university out of town, but Marilla gets sick. Anne came back and found Marilla sitting by the kitchen table. She looked tired. “Are you OK, Marilla?” “I saw the doctor,” Marilla said sadly. “But it’s no good talking about it, Anne. Can you get me a cup of tea?” “Could you tell me what the doctor said?” Anne asked softly as she brought tea to Marilla. “He said I must give up all reading and sewing, or I will go blind.” “Marilla, don’t think of it.” said Anne, “There is still hope.” “I don’t know,” said Marilla. “I’m afraid I have to sell Green Gables!” Anne was surprised. “Oh, Marilla, you can’t! It’s our home!” “What else can I do, Anne? I’m sorry you won’t have a home to come to during your university holidays.” Marilla began to cry. That night, Anne sat in the darkness, alone with her tears and heavy heart. But later, there was a smile on her lips and peace in her heart. The next day, she spoke with Marilla. “You mustn’t sell Green Gables. ▲ I can’t leave you alone. Marilla. I’ll read to you. We’ll be happy together.” “Oh, Anne, you can’t do that for me.” “But I want to! Nothing is worse than giving up our home.” “But your dreams ...” “My dreams are the same: to be a good teacher, and to help you stay healthy. Nobody loves Green Gables as we do. We must keep it.” Most people, not knowing about Marilla’s eyes, thought Anne was foolish. Mrs Lynde, their neighbour, did not. She often found Anne and Marilla sitting outside their home. They liked sitting there at dusk (黄昏), when the smell of Nowers filled the air. 31. Why did Marilla plan to sell Green Gables? A. Because if she doesn’t do so, she will go blind. B. Because the doctor advised her to sell Green Gables. C. Because she believed she could no longer take care of the farm. 32. How did Anne feel at the end of the night? A. Peaceful. B. Sad. C. Worried. 33. Which sentence can be filled in ________? A. I’m going to teach here. B. I’m going to find a better doctor for you. C. I’m going to take you to university with me. 34. What can we learn about Anne’s character from the story? A. Kind and hardworking. B. Caring and helpful. C. Foolish but friendly. 35. Why didn’t Mrs Lynde think Anne was foolish? A. Because she was Anne and Marilla’s neighbour. B. Because she knew pretty well about Marilla’s eyes. C. Because she saw Anne’s love for Marilla and their home.

If you’re often thirsty for learning more about something, then you probably are. But as American researcher Perry Zurn points out; not all curious minds are cut from the same cloth. There are at least three styles of curiosity: “busybodies,” “hunters” and “dancers.” “Busybodies” like to collect bits of information on all kinds of topics. They’re not chasing (追求) any certain goal. They’re just interested in the world around them. “Hunters” go after the answers which they are sure about. They follow a clear road to reach their goals. “Dancers” jump at new ideas or connected old ones in new ways. They would like to take the road less traveled. Zurn and his team went on to see how these curiosity styles play out in real life. They researched readers of the online Wikipedia (维基百科). These 482, 000 people are from 50 countries. For each person, the team looked at how many different topics he or she read about and how closely those topics were connected. For example, did someone look up Pierre Perifel—a famous film director, and then read about his new film, The Bad Guys 27 Or did he or she jump from the film director to Pu’er tea? The results showed that all three types of curious minds exist (存在) among today’s internet users. “Busybodies” read widely, but they especially liked sports, food and the arts. “Hunters” cared more about science and technology. Interestingly, they were more possibly to feel stressed after their curious search than the other two types. That’s probably because they had a stronger drive to fill in the blanks (空白处) in their knowledge. Zurn says we are each born with a natural curiosity style. However, our style isn’t set in stone. We can develop the other two styles by spending time with teachers or friends who think differently. That’s good news. After all, curiosity works best when all three styles exist in one mind. Curiosity Styles the background Perry Zurn points out not all curious minds have the same style. ____51____ to three styles “busybodies” They like to collect bits of information on all kinds of topics ____52____ chasing any certain goal. “hunters” They follow a clear road to reach the exact answers. “dancers” They jump at new ideas or connected old ones in new ways. the research on how curiosity styles work the research Zurn and his team did * The research ____53____ 482000 readers of the online Wikipedia from 50 countries. * The team looked at how many different topics they read about and how closely those topics were connected. the conclusion *“Busybodies” read widely, but they especially liked sports, food and the arts. *“Hunters” cared more about science and technology and the blanks in their knowledge more probably ____54____ their stress. advice We can develop different curiosity styles by spending time with teachers or friends who think differently ____55____ curiosity can work best in our minds. 任务型阅读。 根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 The Longtaitou Festival, also known as the Eryue’er Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival named for the day it falls on. The name means “dragon raising its head”, carrying a sense of hope. In Chinese ancient farming culture, this festival holds great importance. It is said that on this day the dragon king who is in control of rain will wake up from sleep and lift his head. People believe that after the Longtaitou Festival, the rain will gradually increase. It marks the start of the busy farming season. The celebration of the Longtaitou Festival is rich in traditions. One of the most well-known customs is getting a haircut. Many people believe that cutting their hair in the first lunar month will bring bad luck. And having a haircut on the Longtaitou Festival can bring good luck and success all the year. In some areas, people eat noodles, dumplings, spring rolls, wontons (云吞) which are all given dragon names on this day. Noodles are called longxu. Dumplings are called long’er. Spring rolls are called longlin. Wontons are called longyan. It’s said that eating these foods can bring good luck. In ancient times, there were even more customs. People used to spread ashes (灰) in the kitchen, with the belief that it could lead the dragon into the house. This was done to ask for a harvest (丰收) with the help of the dragon. However, as time goes by, some of these ancient customs have slowly died out. The Longtaitou Festival still holds a special place in the hearts of Chinese people. It serves not only as a festival but also as a symbol of our traditional culture. We should let it be like a river, running through the ages and never drying up. 56.

It has been widely used in many different situations. AI plays a role in modern communication. Chatbots, a kind of AI-driven tool, have become a necessary part of modern communication. They can understand and reply to users at once. Whether it’s on websites or mobile apps, chatbots can process tons of information and offer support (支持) in real time, not only providing help but also caring about your feelings. Besides, AI users can control smart home tools through voice orders. AI is reshaping (重塑) the way we communicate in our daily lives. AI makes a big difference to traffic. For example, some ride-sharing platforms (拼车平台) depend heavily on AI. AI can deal with plenty of information and match passengers with drivers in a short time, providing better transportation services. And self-driving cars are a main example of AI’s use in transportation, too. With the help of AI, they can reduce accidents and help those unable to drive. AI provides a smart way to education. It changes the way teachers teach and students learn. AI in classrooms can make teaching and learning more interesting, which helps students pay more attention to their studies. AI can also offer students support outside classrooms. For example, it can help with homework, answer questions, and provide explanations through voice orders. By analyzing (分析) students’ strengths, weaknesses and learning needs, AI can make suitable study plans for them. This can help students achieve their learning goals more easily. All in all, AI is shaping and will continue to shape our everyday experiences. 21. What is a chatbot? A A smart home tool that follows voice orders. B. An AI tool that can talk with people in real time. C. A mobile app that can offer support at once. 22. What is the main topic of the fourth paragraph? A. Ways to improve traffic by AI. B.

How many things are made of plastic (塑料)? From water bottles and toys to TVs and mobile phones, plastic is everywhere in our daily lives. It first became popular last century. The reason is that it is lightweight, strong, and does not cost much to produce. Also, it can be shaped into almost any form we need. However, plastic’s greatest strength has become its biggest weakness: it lasts for a very long time. Most plastic does not break down naturally. It stays in the environment for hundreds of years. Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste end up in our oceans and landfills (垃圾填埋场). This waste hurts wildlife and pollutes the environment. A lot of this waste comes from single-use items, like bags, straws (吸管) and food packages, which we throw away after using them just once. So, what can we do about this problem? The key is not to stop using plastic completely. It is still too useful in many important areas, like in medicine and technology. Instead, we must focus on the three Rs! Reduce (减少), Reuse, and Recycle. This means we should reduce our use of unnecessary plastic. We should try to reuse plastic items as many times as possible. We should always put plastic waste in the right recycling bins (垃圾桶). New technologies are also helping us find better ways to deal with plastic, like making new kinds that can break down more easily in the future. 26. How is the passage organized? A. By setting examples and comparing facts. B. By telling a story and teaching a lesson. C. By raising a problem and providing solutions. 27. Which can be called a single-use item? A. B. C. 28. Why does plastic waste pollute the environment? A. Because it hurts wildlife. B. Because it doesn’t break down naturally. C. Because it’s thrown away after being used just once. 29. What does the writer advise us to do in order to solve the problem? A. We should make high-tech plastic medical products. B. We should only use plastic in necessary situations. C. We should reuse plastic with the help of the bins. 30. What can we infer (推测) about plastic according to the passage? A. People will not use plastics anymore. B People will never make single-use plastics. C. People will develop plastics that break down naturally. 【答案】26. C 27. A 28. B 29. B 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了塑料在日常生活中普及、其对环境的危害以及应对塑料污染的解决办法。 【26题详解】 篇章结构题。文章先提出塑料污染的问题，再给出解决办法，属于“提出问题—提供解决方案”的结构。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A lot of this waste comes from single-use items, like bags, straws (吸管) and food packages”可知，带吸管的一次性餐杯属于一次性用品。选项A图片是带吸管的一次性餐杯。故选A。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Most plastic does not break down naturally.

They lived happily together on a farm called Green Gables. Now Anne is going to a university out of town, but Marilla gets sick. Anne came back and found Marilla sitting by the kitchen table. She looked tired. “Are you OK, Marilla?” “I saw the doctor,” Marilla said sadly. “But it’s no good talking about it, Anne. Can you get me a cup of tea?” “Could you tell me what the doctor said?” Anne asked softly as she brought tea to Marilla. “He said I must give up all reading and sewing, or I will go blind.” “Marilla, don’t think of it.” said Anne, “There is still hope.” “I don’t know,” said Marilla. “I’m afraid I have to sell Green Gables!” Anne was surprised. “Oh, Marilla, you can’t! It’s our home!” “What else can I do, Anne? I’m sorry you won’t have a home to come to during your university holidays.” Marilla began to cry. That night, Anne sat in the darkness, alone with her tears and heavy heart. But later, there was a smile on her lips and peace in her heart. The next day, she spoke with Marilla. “You mustn’t sell Green Gables. ▲ I can’t leave you alone. Marilla. I’ll read to you. We’ll be happy together.” “Oh, Anne, you can’t do that for me.” “But I want to! Nothing is worse than giving up our home.” “But your dreams ...” “My dreams are the same: to be a good teacher, and to help you stay healthy. Nobody loves Green Gables as we do. We must keep it.” Most people, not knowing about Marilla’s eyes, thought Anne was foolish. Mrs Lynde, their neighbour, did not. She often found Anne and Marilla sitting outside their home. They liked sitting there at dusk (黄昏), when the smell of Nowers filled the air. 31. Why did Marilla plan to sell Green Gables? A. Because if she doesn’t do so, she will go blind. B. Because the doctor advised her to sell Green Gables. C. Because she believed she could no longer take care of the farm. 32. How did Anne feel at the end of the night? A. Peaceful. B. Sad. C. Worried. 33. Which sentence can be filled in ________? A. I’m going to teach here. B. I’m going to find a better doctor for you. C. I’m going to take you to university with me. 34. What can we learn about Anne’s character from the story? A. Kind and hardworking. B. Caring and helpful. C. Foolish but friendly. 35. Why didn’t Mrs Lynde think Anne was foolish? A. Because she was Anne and Marilla’s neighbour. B. Because she knew pretty well about Marilla’s eyes. C. Because she saw Anne’s love for Marilla and their home. 【答案】31. C 32. A 33. A 34. B 35.

If you’re often thirsty for learning more about something, then you probably are. But as American researcher Perry Zurn points out; not all curious minds are cut from the same cloth. There are at least three styles of curiosity: “busybodies,” “hunters” and “dancers.” “Busybodies” like to collect bits of information on all kinds of topics. They’re not chasing (追求) any certain goal. They’re just interested in the world around them. “Hunters” go after the answers which they are sure about. They follow a clear road to reach their goals. “Dancers” jump at new ideas or connected old ones in new ways. They would like to take the road less traveled. Zurn and his team went on to see how these curiosity styles play out in real life. They researched readers of the online Wikipedia (维基百科). These 482, 000 people are from 50 countries. For each person, the team looked at how many different topics he or she read about and how closely those topics were connected. For example, did someone look up Pierre Perifel—a famous film director, and then read about his new film, The Bad Guys 27 Or did he or she jump from the film director to Pu’er tea? The results showed that all three types of curious minds exist (存在) among today’s internet users. “Busybodies” read widely, but they especially liked sports, food and the arts. “Hunters” cared more about science and technology. Interestingly, they were more possibly to feel stressed after their curious search than the other two types. That’s probably because they had a stronger drive to fill in the blanks (空白处) in their knowledge. Zurn says we are each born with a natural curiosity style. However, our style isn’t set in stone. We can develop the other two styles by spending time with teachers or friends who think differently. That’s good news. After all, curiosity works best when all three styles exist in one mind. Curiosity Styles the background Perry Zurn points out not all curious minds have the same style. ____51____ to three styles “busybodies” They like to collect bits of information on all kinds of topics ____52____ chasing any certain goal. “hunters” They follow a clear road to reach the exact answers. “dancers” They jump at new ideas or connected old ones in new ways. the research on how curiosity styles work the research Zurn and his team did * The research ____53____ 482,000 readers of the online Wikipedia from 50 countries. * The team looked at how many different topics they read about and how closely those topics were connected. the conclusion *“Busybodies” read widely, but they especially liked sports, food and the arts. *“Hunters” cared more about science and technology and the blanks in their knowledge more probably ____54____ their stress. advice We can develop different curiosity styles by spending time with teachers or friends who think differently ____55____ curiosity can work best in our minds. 【答案】51. the introduction 52. without 53. involved 54. caused 55. so that 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了三种不同类型好奇的人，分别是爱管闲事的人、猎人和舞者。 【51题详解】 根据“There are at least three styles of curiosity: ‘busybodies,’ ‘hunters’ and ‘dancers.’”以及表格中右边的内容可知，此处是指三种风格的介绍。the introduction to“……的介绍”。故填the introduction。 【52题详解】 根据“‘Busybodies’ like to collect bits of information on all kinds of topics. They’re not chasing (追求) any certain goal. ”可知，“爱管闲事的人”喜欢收集各种主题的信息，而不追求任何特定的目标。根据表格中“...chasing any certain goal.” 可知，应填介词without“没有”，表示“不追求任何特定目标”。故填without。 【53题详解】 根据“They researched readers of the online Wikipedia (维基百科). These 482, 000 people are from 50 countries.”可知，这项研究涉及了来自50个国家的482, 000名维基百科读者。involve“涉及、包含”，时态为一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式involved。故填involved。 【54题详解】 根据“‘Hunters’ cared more about science and technology. Interestingly, they were more possibly to feel stressed after their curious search than the other two types. That’s probably because they had a stronger drive to fill in the blanks (空白处) in their knowledge.”可知，填补知识空白是“导致”他们的压力的原因。cause“导致”，时态为一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式caused。故填caused。 【55题详解】 根据“We can develop the other two styles by spending time with teachers or friends who think differently. That’s good news.

It is said that on this day the dragon king who is in control of rain will wake up from sleep and lift his head. People believe that after the Longtaitou Festival, the rain will gradually increase. It marks the start of the busy farming season. The celebration of the Longtaitou Festival is rich in traditions. One of the most well-known customs is getting a haircut. Many people believe that cutting their hair in the first lunar month will bring bad luck. And having a haircut on the Longtaitou Festival can bring good luck and success all the year. In some areas, people eat noodles, dumplings, spring rolls, wontons (云吞) which are all given dragon names on this day. Noodles are called longxu. Dumplings are called long’er. Spring rolls are called longlin. Wontons are called longyan. It’s said that eating these foods can bring good luck. In ancient times, there were even more customs. People used to spread ashes (灰) in the kitchen, with the belief that it could lead the dragon into the house. This was done to ask for a harvest (丰收) with the help of the dragon. However, as time goes by, some of these ancient customs have slowly died out. The Longtaitou Festival still holds a special place in the hearts of Chinese people. It serves not only as a festival but also as a symbol of our traditional culture. We should let it be like a river, running through the ages and never drying up. 56.
