Your presentation： Setting up a smart home requires significant investment in advanced technology, including sensors, smart devices, and integrated systems.The cost of purchasing and installing these devices can be quite high, especially for those on a tight budget.The home of tomorrow is already the home of today in several ways, such as the widespread adoption of smart home technology like voice­activated assistants, automated lighting and climate control systems, and integrated security solutions.These innovations are becoming increasingly common, making modern homes more efficient, convenient, and connected. ◎ SMART HOMES TO MAKE LIFE EASIER Have you ever forgotten to lock the door of your house？Or, have you ever forgotten to switch off the TV or computer？These kinds of things happen to us① all the time, waste resources, and can sometimes lead to problems.[1]However, in the not­too­distant ② future, we will be living in smart homes that will lock the door for us when we are away and remember to③ switch off④ the TV when we forget.These smart homes will keep us secure⑤，save us energy, and provide a more comfortable⑥ environment to live in. [1]此句是一个复合句，in the not­too­distant future在句中作时间状语； that引导定语从句，定语从句中and连接两个并列动词lock和remember；句中两个when均引导时间状语从句。 Intelligent Controls Today, we have to use switches for our lights, knobs⑦ for our appliances⑧，and remote controls⑨ for our TVs and air conditioners.In the future, we will be using advanced technology every day for automatic⑩ control of just about everything in our home.The future home will use integrated⑪ sensors to tell when you leave home each morning, and then go into an energy­efficient mode⑫ all by itself⑬.You will no longer⑭ have to think about turning switches on and off yourself.Your home will also learn your daily routine⑮ and preferences⑯，so everything will be ready for⑰ you when you get home each evening.[2]Your lights will come on the instant you enter the door along with⑱ your favourite music or TV programmes, and you will find your dinner already prepared for you.[3]All controls will respond to voice commands⑲，so if you want to change your routine, you just say aloud what you want and the home system will obey⑳. [2]此句是一个复合句，the instant引导时间状语从句，表示“一……就……”； prepared for you在句中作宾语补足语。 [3]此句是一个复合句，if在句中引导条件状语从句； what在句中引导宾语从句。 Regular Health Checks In addition㉑, your smart home will be monitoring your health for you every day.Your bed, for example, will record how well you sleep every night.It will also be checking your body weight.If you start to have sleep or weight problems, it will send a warning㉒ to your phone.It will also give you suggestions on a healthier diet and how to sleep better.Smart toilets will be keeping constant track of㉓ your health as well.[4]They can warn you early on㉔ if there is something abnormal㉕ or if you have a critical㉖ illness, such as cancer, and potentially㉗ save your life. [4]此句是一个复合句，句中两个if均引导条件状语从句。 No More Disasters Smart homes will be able to prevent serious damage from㉘ accidents.[5]For example, if a water pipe starts leaking㉙, or if there is a short in the electrical wiring㉚, your smart home will detect㉛ it and provide you with the relevant㉜ information.This way, you will be able to fix the problem before your home becomes flooded or catches fire. [5]此句是一个复合句。句中并列连词or连接两个if引导的条件状语从句。 This smart technology is not a fantasy㉝.Many of these new innovations㉞are already available㉟ and being used in some homes.In this sense㊱, the home of tomorrow is already the home of today.Nevertheless㊲，[6]it will take some years before most new homes begin to use this new technology. [6]it will take/be＋时间段＋before“多久之后才……”为固定句型。 ◎ ①sth happens to sb 某人发生某事 sb happens to do sth 某人碰巧做某事 ②distant adj.遥远的； 远处的；疏远的；心不在焉的 ③remember to do sth 记得去做某事 remember doing sth 记得做过某事 ④switch off/on 关/开(电灯、机器等) ⑤secure adj.安全的； 安心的； 可靠的 ⑥comfortable adj.舒服的 ⑦knob n．旋钮； 球形把手 ⑧appliance n．电器； 器具 ⑨remote control 遥控器 ⑩automatic adj.自动的 ⑪integrated adj.各部分密切协调的； 综合的 ⑫energy­efficient mode 节能模式 ⑬all by itself 独自，独立 ⑭no longer＝not...any longer 不再 ⑮daily routine 日常生活 ⑯preference n．爱好； 偏爱 ⑰be ready for 准备好 ⑱along with 跟……一起(连接两个并列主语时，谓语动词遵循就远原则) ⑲command n．& vt.指令；命令 ⑳obey vi.& vt.服从 ㉑in addition 等同于additionally 意为“此外” ㉒warning n．警告；警示；先兆 ㉓keep constant track of 持续跟踪…… ㉔early on 在初期； 早先 ㉕abnormal adj.不正常的；反常的 ㉖critical adj.严重的；关键的；批判性的 ㉗potentially adv.潜在地；可能地 ㉘prevent...from...阻止…… ㉙leak vi.& vt.& n．漏；渗漏；透露 ㉚a short in the electrical wiring 电线短路 ㉛detect vt.发现；查明 ㉜relevant adj.有关的；有意义的 ㉝fantasy n．幻想；想象 ㉞innovation n．创新；创造 ㉟available adj.可获得的； 可购得的； (人)有空的 ㊱in this sense 从这种意义上来讲 ㊲nevertheless adv.尽管如此；不过；然而 ◎ 智能家居便利生活 你忘记过锁家门吗？ 或是你忘记过关掉电视或电脑吗？ 诸如此类的事情经常发生在我们身上，这会浪费资源，有时还会引发问题。然而在不久的将来，我们将生活在智能的家里。智能的家会在我们外出时锁好家门，会在我们忘记关掉电视的时候替我们关上。这样的智能家居将保障我们的安全，节省我们的能源，为我们提供一个更为舒适的居住环境。 智能控制 今天，我们必须使用开关来控制电灯，使用旋钮来控制家用电器，使用遥控器来控制电视机和空调。未来，我们每天都能使用先进的技术来自动控制家里几乎所有的东西。未来的住宅将使用集成传感器来辨别你每天早晨何时出门，然后自动进入节能模式。你再也不用想着自己打开或关闭各种开关。你的住宅还能了解你的日程安排和喜好，所以每天晚上你回到家时，一切都已经准备就绪。在你步入家门的一刹那，灯光亮起，你最喜爱的音乐或电视节目随即开启，而且你会发现晚餐也已备好。所有的装置都将响应语音指令，因此如果你想要改变日程安排，你只需大声说出你的想法，家居系统就会照办。 定期健康检查 此外，你的智能家居每天都会监测你的健康状况。例如，你的床会记录你每晚的睡眠状况，还能检测你的体重。如果你开始有睡眠或体重问题，它会将警告发到你的手机上。此外，就如何实现更加健康的饮食和更好的睡眠，它还会给予你建议。智能马桶也会持续跟踪你的健康状况。如果发现异常情况，或是你得了癌症等重大疾病，智能马桶会提前警告你，并有可能挽救你的生命。 不再有灾难 智能家居将能够防止事故造成严重损害。例如，如果水管漏水或者发生电线短路，你的智能家居会检测出来，并给你提供相关的信息。这样一来，你就能够在家里水流满地或着火前及时解决问题。 这种智能技术不是幻想。 这些新近的革新中有许多已经唾手可得，并且正在一些住宅中使用。从这种意义上来讲，明日之家已经是今日之家。然而，还需要过些年大多数新住宅才会开始使用这种新技术。 persuade vt.劝说；说服；使相信，使信服(联想：persuasion n．说服；劝说 persuasive adj.有说服力的) 【教材原句】　For example, the phrase in my opinion tells us that the passage is likely meant to persuade. 例如：短语“在我看来”告诉我们这篇文章可能是用来说服的。 【用法归纳】 persuade sb to do sth＝persuade/talk sb into doing sth 说服某人做某事 persuade sb not to do sth＝persuade/talk sb out of doing sth 说服某人不要做某事 【佳句必背】　When surfing on the Internet, do not be persuaded into giving away your personal information.(应用文之建议信) 当上网的时候，不要被说服泄露你的个人信息。 【练透考点】　单句语法填空 ①I do know how upset the shop staff can get, but I try to persuade them to keep (keep) smiling. ②While shopping，people sometimes can't help being persuaded (persuade) into buying something they don't really need. ③My close friend persuaded me out of opposing (oppose) the idea he came up with at the meeting. 【写成佳句】　完成句子 ④(读后续写之动作描写)他开始向同学和邻居求助，并说服他们捐钱。 He started to ask for help from his classmates and neighbours and persuaded them to donate money． switch vt.转换；交换 vi.& vt.(使)改变；转变 n．开关；转换器；改变 【教材原句】　Or, have you ever forgotten to switch off the TV or computer? 或是你忘记过关掉电视或电脑吗？ 【用法归纳】 (1)switch off/on 关/开(电灯、机器等) switch (from...)to...

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共20分) A (2025·山东省百师联考高二上期中)New Scientist magazine's chief reporter Adam Vaughan recently published “How your day will look in a carbon­neutral (碳中和) world.” Here, he imagines what a typical day would be like in the future—through the eyes of Isla, “a child in 2050”—after we've cut carbon emissions (排放).Vaughan acknowledges the writing is out of imagination but it is concluded by research, expert opinion, and experiments happening right now. Isla lives in the United Kingdom—will it still be a united kingdom in 2050？—and her life looks pretty much like life does today: She has a house, a car and a job.There are forests, and giant machines taking carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) out of the atmosphere.It all sounds like a green and pleasant land, but it didn't sound like the future to me.It's just like the life we are living now. It's an interesting exercise, imagining what it will be like in about 30 years.I thought I would give it a try: Here is my story about Edie, living in Toronto, Canada in 2050. Edie's alarm goes off at 4：00 a．m.She gets up, folds up the bed in the garage that is her apartment and workshop.She considers herself to be very lucky to have this garage.The only people that live in houses these days are multi­millionaires from all over the world, especially from Arizona and other southern states, wishing to move to Canada with its cooler climate and plentiful water.They can afford the million­dollar immigrant visa fee. At that time, there are no office or industrial jobs anymore: Artificial Intelligence and robots will take care of that.The few jobs left are in service, culture or health care.Luckily, Edie has her job. She checks the balance in her Personal Carbon Allowance (PCA) account to see if she has enough to buy another battery for her e­bike.If she doesn't have enough then she will have to buy carbon credits, and they are expensive.She sets her alarm for 6：00 p．m.when the streets of Toronto will come alive again on this hot November day.

Say the word “exosuit” and super heroes come to mind—somebody like Tony Stark from Marvel Comics, whose fancy suit enables him to become Iron Man.But scientists at Harvard University have been developing an actual exosuit, a wearable machine that can improve an average man's strength and toughness.This model improves a wearer's performance while he is walking or running. The lead researcher Conor Walsh says when you put on his team's suit, you definitely notice that it's pulling across your joints, so you feel the drive from the suit.But after a while, you don't really notice it anymore.The suit helps to extend the hip joint, saving the user's energy.Though you might not notice it, when you shut the suit off after a few minutes of having it turned on, Walsh says, “You really quickly notice that your legs feel a little bit heavier.” Walsh says, “This suit could be helpful for a soldier carrying heavy weights over long distances.” Research on the suit was supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is part of the United States Department of Defense and develops military technology.“Other future models might help people with medical problems like Parkinson's disease to move more easily，” he says.“My lab cooperates with a company on a suit to help stroke survivors that is now commercially available.” Karl Zelik, an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University, calls the team's effort “promising work”．Zelik says it will enhance human abilities during various aspects of daily life.However, he notes that the exosuit field is changing fast.In the future, he says, the best assist devices may not be exosuits at all, but rather technology put inside a person's body.He predicts that future wearables will also be able to figure out the wearer's movement intention, and influence it when necessary to improve human performance. [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍一个哈佛研究小组的第一个便携式机械护甲，它由布料制成，穿戴在腰部和大腿，可以提高普通人的力量和韧性。 5．What may the exosuit do? A．Cover the user's wrist and upper legs. B．Sharpen a wearer's performance of walking. C．Enable a person to become a superhero.

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共20分) A Shortly after ChatGPT was released, in early 2023，a freelance writer named Jason Colavito posted on social media that a computer was replacing him with AI, because it could write content for free.But he is also wanted—at a small amount of his normal rate—to “rewrite” the AI­generated text.This is not the first time that technology has slashed salaries instead of jobs, and the real problem is not AI.The problem is a culture that devalues human labor. With the release of new AI applications, discussions about the future of work are back in full force.A recent study looked at professions in the United States, from poets to financial managers, predicting the 19 percent will soon lose 50 percent of their tasks to AI.But our precious experience with automation suggests it's much more complicated than technology simply replacing human work. In 2019, independent research organization Data & Society studied how automation is being integrated in farm management and grocery stores.Counter to the popular belief that the technology was reducing the need for human labor, researchers Alexandra Mateescu and Madeleine Clare Elish discovered that introducing new devices was mostly changing the nature of the work.For example, automated checkout machines kept employees busy, because now they were assisting confused customers, troubleshooting machines, and taking on other tasks to ensure their smooth operation in the store.Most importantly, Mateescu and Elish discovered that the new tasks, which helped accommodate and employ the “automated” technology, were often undervalued or even invisible. The important thing to understand is that the current deskilling and devaluing of labor isn't because the robots are coming for us, it's cultural.As jobs get disrupted and people's livelihoods are threatened, it's easy to point fingers at technology as the unavoidable reason, whether you're an expert or an employer.But what is actually to blame is a society that is willing to let workers be mistreated.It's a big thing to change, but it's not set in stone.And that's the real “robots and jobs” conversation we need to be having. [语篇解读]本文是一篇议论文，主要论述的是人工智能对未来工作的影响，人工智能并不是来夺走我们的工作的，而是改变了工作的性质。 1．What does the underlined word “slashed” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Created. B．Improved. C．Reduced. D．Removed. 解析：选C。词句猜测题。根据第一段“at a small amount of his normal rate—to ‘rewrite’ the AI­generated text”可知，技术减少了他的薪水，因此画线词slashed的意思是“减少”，和reduced意思相近，故选C。 2．What did Mateescu and Elish find? A．Automated technology was taking away almost all jobs. B．New advanced devices were being integrated in various jobs. C．Humans were still needed to take care of AI­generated problems. D．Humans couldn't understand the real value in their own jobs. 解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第三段“For example, automated checkout machines kept employees busy, because now they were assisting confused customers, troubleshooting machines, and taking on other tasks to ensure their smooth operation in the store.”可知，Mateescu和Elish发现人类仍然需要处理人工智能产生的问题。故选C。 3．What's the main cause of the deskilling and devaluing of labor? A．The introduction of robots. B．The nature of jobs. C．The change of workers. D．The attitude to labor. 解析：选D。推理判断题。根据最后一段“The important thing to understand is that the current deskilling and devaluing of labor isn't because the robots are coming for us, it's cultural.”和“But what is actually to blame is a society that is willing to let workers be mistreated.”可知，劳动力去技能化和贬值的主要原因是这个社会对待劳动的态度。故选D。 4．What's the best title for the text? A．Work Gets Deskilled by Robots B．Robots Aren't Coming for Our Jobs C．A Promising Future: Humans and Robots D．A Wanted Conversation: Humans or Robots 解析：选B。主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“But our precious experience with automation suggests it's much more complicated than technology simply replacing human work.”和第三段“Counter to the popular belief that the technology was reducing the need for human labor, researchers Alexandra Mateescu and Madeleine Clare Elish discovered that introducing new devices was mostly changing the nature of the work.”可知，主要论述的是人工智能对未来工作的影响，它不是来夺走我们的工作的，而是改变了工作的性质，因此最好的题目是B选项“Robots Aren't Coming for Our Jobs”。故选B。 B (2025·山东省百师联考高二上期中) Finding a rewarding career in life is often difficult, and for one young farmer, a disability could so easily have destroyed his dreams.But as a recent TikTok video showed, a 12­year­old isn't going to let his muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩) stop him from rolling up his sleeves and getting dirty. John Ray was born with a rare muscular disease that causes muscles to weaken.“When he was born, his prospect was not good.The doctors said they didn't expect him to live long，” shared John's mother, Trina Reid with Ontario Farmer. Thankfully, however, John has proved doctors wrong by living life to the full, so much that he's able to lend a much needed hand to his father, Donny Ray on the farm.Young John used to be brought to a specific area of the farm to work, but his regular wheelchair wasn't suitable for farm life, so the family tried their best to adapt to their son's needs. One day Donny came across an Action Trackchair wheelchair.Unfortunately the chair came with a high price tag that the family couldn't afford.With the help of Donny's employer, Wallenstein Feed & Supply Ltd., the family were able to buy the impressive piece of equipment. Donny made a few adaptions so John could help with the feeding in the barn (谷仓).Over the next two months he's even been out in the fields helping with the potato planting.Donny shared“No disabilities here, only new abilities.We get to see a very hard­working John: in the barn and out in the fields.” So with the love, support, and determination of John's family, the youngster's future farming career is definitely looking hopeful.And as his mom shares：“If John has taught me anything, it's that perseverance (毅力) is everything.There is nothing he says he can't do.” [语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述残疾人 John克服身体局限实现自己的梦想。 5．What did John Ray desire to do? A．To live a long life. B．To cure his disease. C．To work on the farm. D．To get family support. 解析：选C。细节理解题。文章第一段叙述在生活中找到一份有意义的事业常常是棘手的，对于一个年轻的农民来说，残疾很容易就会粉碎他的梦想。但正如最近的一个TikTok视频所显示的那样，一个12岁的孩子不会让他的肌肉萎缩症阻止他卷起袖子弄脏自己。由此可知，John Ray渴望在农场上工作。 6．Why did Donny change the Action Trackchair wheelchair? A．To receive a donation from a charity. B．To reduce the price of the equipment. C．To make John adapt to the wheelchair. D．To help John with more farm activities. 解析：选D。 细节理解题。根据第三段“his regular wheelchair wasn't suitable for farm life, so the family tried their best to adapt to their son's needs.”及第五段“Donny made a few adaptions so John could help with the feeding in the barn (谷仓).”可知，Donny给轮椅做了一些调整，这样约翰就可以帮忙做农场里的活了。 7．What can be inferred from Donny Ray's words in Paragraph 5? A．John's disabilities limit his capabilities. B．John's life on the farm is extremely tough. C．John's condition has improved significantly over time. D．John has developed new abilities despite his condition. 解析：选D。细节理解题。第五段 Donny叙述，“这里没有残疾，只有新的能力。我们可以看到一个非常勤劳的约翰在工作：在谷仓里，在田野里。”由此可知，Donny强调尽管John身体状况不佳，他还是开发出了新的能力。 8．What is the main message the author wants to convey in the text? A．The huge challenges of finding a rewarding career. B．Overcoming physical limitations to achieve one's dreams. C．Modern equipment is essential for people with disabilities. D．The importance of family support in living independently. 解析：选B。主旨大意题。文章首段叙述，在生活中找到一份有意义的事业常常是棘手的，对于一个年轻的农民来说，残疾很容易就会粉碎他的梦想。最后一段首句总结，有了家人的爱、支持和决心，这个年轻人未来的农业生涯绝对是充满希望的。由此推断，文章主要讲述残疾人 John克服身体局限实现自己的梦想。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分，共12.5分) (2025·福建省厦门第一中学高二上月考)Home automation is nothing new.It's been around for years now.1( ) And when something is new, people have to be doubtful about it.So, here we are with tons of widespread myths around home automation.Let's check out what unbelievable myths we encouraged and why you need to stop believing them.

It is not your fault if you think it's too expensive.(最常见的误解是——我买不起！如果你觉得太贵，那不是你的错)”可知，上文提到了觉得太贵不是你的错，本句承接上文说明原因：这是一项新技术，所以昂贵。故A选项“毕竟，这是一项新技术”符合语境，故选A。 3．解析：选B。 根据本段内容“Most people think that home automation devices and systems are some devices out of a spy movie.It is a common myth that you must be a techie to use the devices or make changes.However, it is not true.(大多数人认为家庭自动化设备和系统是间谍电影中的一些设备。你必须是一个技术人员才能使用这些设备或做出改变，这是一个普遍的误解。然而，事实并非如此)”可知，本段解释的传言主要关于家庭自动化设备需要专业人士才能使用，即自动化需要技术知识。故B选项“家庭自动化需要技术知识”符合语境，故选B。 4．解析：选C。根据后文“Even though it seems like a challenging task, all it takes is a simple touch to control your home.(尽管这看起来是一项具有挑战性的任务，但只需要简单的触摸就可以控制你的家)”可知，后文提到只需要简单的触摸就可以控制你的家，说明不需要成为技术大师也能生活在智能家居中，故C选项“你不需要成为技术大师也能生活在智能家居中”符合语境，故选C。 5．解析：选D。根据上文“Smart home automation is a new technology.(智能家居自动化是一项新兴技术)”以及后文“Thus, don't let the myths and technical terms about home automation scare you! The products that power the smart home are light years away from the myth around them.(因此，不要让关于家庭自动化的传言和技术术语吓到你！为智能家居提供动力的产品离围绕它们的传言还有光年之遥)”可知，上文提到了智能家庭自动化是一项新兴技术，结合文章主要说明了智能家居自动化的一些好处，故D选项“这项强大的技术对房主有很多好处”符合语境，故选D。 Ⅲ.语法填空(每小题1.5分，共15分) (2025·湖南省湖南师大附中高二上期中)At a bank branch in Shanghai, an elegant female receptionist is welcoming customers.“Sensing” that customers are in 1 good mood, she becomes talkative and introduces more of the 2 (bank) wealth management services. 3 (power) by an artificial intelligence system, she is the first digital employee at the Shanghai branch of Bank of Ningbo.With an average person's 4 (high), she can answer more than 550 common banking business questions and learn to answer 50 new questions every day with a camera on the screen.Thanks to rapid 5 (technology) progress, virtual humans, which used to be only seen in movies, are becoming more popular in people's daily lives and work.

This morning, I saw the shocking headline: “Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”．In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars.They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous.Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new.① The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologised for the accident, but the families of the deceased said it was not enough.Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon.② On the one hand③，there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology.Probably the most well­known are the Amish, a group of Christians living in rural America.④They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet.They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century，and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future.They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community.⑤ They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous.⑥It could even be argued that the Amish's quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large, polluted cities. On the other hand③，new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years.For example, the latest weather­tracking computer programs give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives.Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world.It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier, as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media. Personally⑦，I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances.I found my career as an AI designer through a social media network.My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life.Of course⑦，when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect.Nevertheless⑦，I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it. ◎ ①“Hence(因此)”这个词用于引出结论，使文章的因果关系更加明确。 ②“Nevertheless(然而)”这个副词用于表示转折，使文章的语气更加自然，避免了过于绝对的陈述。 ③“On the one hand...，On the other hand...(一方面……；另一方面……)”：这种表达方式清晰地将文章分为两个主要观点，即反对新技术和支持新技术。这种结构使文章的逻辑更加清晰，让读者能够清楚地看到作者在讨论问题时的客观性和全面性。 ④作者通过提到阿曼门诺派这一具体群体，生动地说明了世界上确实存在一些人可以不依赖新技术而幸福地生活。这种具体例子使文章的观点更具说服力，让读者能够通过具体的案例来理解作者要表达的抽象观点。 ⑤通过“with an emphasis on(强调)”这一结构，突出了阿曼门诺派生活的重点，使读者能够更清楚地理解他们的价值观。 ⑥通过“better than”这一比较结构，清晰地表达了阿曼门诺派的价值观，同时也与现代社会的价值观形成对比。 ⑦用Personally，Of course，Nevertheless串联整个语段，条理清晰地表达出了个人观点。 ◎ 文章采用“提出问题—正反两方面论证—个人观点”的结构，展现了对新技术的理性思考，既不盲目抵制，也不全盘接受，体现了作者的客观态度。 开头通过新闻事件引出问题(新技术的安全性)，接着从“反对新技术”(如阿米什人案例)和“支持新技术”(如天气预警、互联网便利)两方面展开论述，最后以个人经历和态度总结，逻辑清晰，层次分明。 ◎ 我们应该抗拒新技术吗？ 今天早晨，我看到了这个令人震惊的标题：“乘客死于无人驾驶模式下汽车的撞车事故”。在这篇报道中，多位人士表示公众应该反对发展无人驾驶汽车这一想法。他们说，有些技术进步是不必要的，甚至可能是危险的。所以，我们不应仅仅因为技术是新的就接受它。该报称汽车公司已经为此次事故道歉，但是死者家属表示这还不够。然而，该公司仍然声称，不久的将来，大多数人都会乘坐无人驾驶汽车出行。 一方面，世界上有许多不同群体的人，在没有新技术的情况下依然过着幸福的生活。也许最广为人知的要数阿曼门诺派——生活在美国乡村的一个基督徒群体。他们既不拥有汽车，也不开车，不看电视，也不使用互联网。自十八世纪以来，他们基本上过着农民的生活，而且在遥远的将来，他们的生活方式可能依然如此。他们提倡简朴的生活，强调实干、家庭和社区。他们认为，这样的生活要好过关注奢侈品或追随富人和名人的生活。甚至有人认为，阿曼门诺派的生活质量更高，因为他们生活在自然的环境中，怡然自得，而不是生活在污染严重的大城市里。 另一方面，多年来，新技术给世界各地的人们提供了许多好处。例如，最新的天气追踪计算机程序为人们提供潜在自然灾害的种种预警，挽救了许多生命。此外，互联网使朋友和家人即使天各一方也能轻松保持联系。互联网还使人们在生活中更加容易找到机会，因为它让人们能够通过使用社交媒体建立更大的朋友圈。 就个人而言，技术进步让我受益匪浅。我通过一个社交网络找到了现在从事的人工智能设计师的职业。我一直随身佩戴的健康监护仪也帮助我达到了生活中的最佳状态。当然，当新技术改变我们的生活方式时，它可能会产生一个让人担惊受怕的前景。然而，我将始终着眼于变革的积极一面，接受变革，而不是抗拒变革。 ◎ 假定你是李华，你班最近组织了一场辩论赛，主题是“Cashless Society”。请综合正反两方的观点，陈述自己的看法。 赞同理由 方便，快捷；减少对纸的浪费 反对理由 安全性不高；花费易超支 你的观点 …… 注意：1.词数80左右； 2．标题已为你写好，不计入总词数。 Cashless Society, Yes or No 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Step 1　审题谋篇·定框架 定人称 以第三人称为主 定时态 以一般现在时为主 定框架 第一段：引出话题 第二段：赞同与反对的观点 第三段：你的观点 Step 2　要点翻译·用佳句 1．电子支付近来正变得越来越受欢迎。它使我们进入了无现金社会。 E­Pay is becoming more and more popular recently．It makes us get access to a cashless society． [升级]　用非谓语动词作状语升级句1 E­Pay is becoming more and more popular recently, making us get access to a cashless society. 2．然而，人们的看法各不相同。 However, opinions vary from person to person． 3．一些学生认为无现金很重要，人们可以有一个更便捷和更舒适的生活。 Some students think it is important to be cashless.People can have a much easier and more comfortable life． [升级]　把句3合并升级为原因状语从句，并升级为it作形式宾语 Some students think it important to be cashless because people can have a much easier and more comfortable life. 4．再者，相对于使用纸币，信用卡支付和手机支付能减少纸张成本。 What's more, using the credit card or mobile phone to pay for goods instead of notes can reduce the cost of paper. 5．我们容易花费超支，因此，无现金社会是不必要的。 We will pay more than we can afford easily, so the cashless society is not a necessity． [升级]　把句4升级为it作形式主语 It is easy for us to pay more than we can afford, so the cashless society is not a necessity. Step 3　连句成篇·达美文 Cashless Society, Yes or No E­Pay is becoming more and more popular recently, making us get access to a cashless society.However, opinions vary from person to person. Some students think it important to be cashless because people can have a much easier and more comfortable life.What's more, using the credit card or mobile phone to pay for goods instead of notes can reduce the cost of paper.However, others think very differently.It is easy for us to pay more than we can afford, so the cashless society is not a necessity. As far as I'm concerned, a cashless society has more advantages over disadvantages．Although there are risks and different voices, it is worthwhile saying yes to it.

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共10分) (2025·安徽省合肥市六校联盟高二上期中)Cows love having an open area of grassland to graze on.But in some parts of the world, this is only feasible during the summer.In the winter months, it can become too cold for cows to safely stay outside, so they are kept in a large farm building for warmth.Being stuck inside is not always pleasant for the cattle, and their unhappiness is closely connected to less milk production. For this reason, some cattle owners have fitted their cows with VR headsets that run a program specifically.The program simulates(模拟) grassland in summer and was designed specifically for the way that cows get color and light.According to the National Library of Medicine, cattle see shades of red the easiest but have a hard time distinguishing between blue and green. Reports from a farm in Moscow, Russia—where the VR headsets were first developed by vets—found in 2019 that the cows that used the VR headsets saw a decrease in anxiety and an improved mood.This led to an increase in milk production, which went from 5.8 gallons to 7 gallons a day. Cattle owner Izzet Kocak from Aksaray, Turkey, heard about this experiment and tried the VR headsets on his cows in December 2021.When Kocak put the headsets on his cows, he found an improvement in the emotional well­being of his animals.“They are watching an area of grassland, and it gives them an emotional boost.They are less stressed，” he said. The technology is now being passed around the world.According to the BBC, the headsets were made specifically for the “structural features of cow heads” by vets, and the animals were shown a “unique summer field simulation program”．The familiar sight of an area of grassland is enough to improve the mood of the entire herd. Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation says that research has shown a link between a cow's emotional state and its milk production.They stated, “Examples of dairy farms from different countries show that in a calm atmosphere, the quantity of milk increases markedly.” [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为解决冬季奶牛因被困在室内情绪低落而导致产奶量下降的问题，一些养牛者为奶牛配备了专门的VR头显。来自俄罗斯莫斯科农场的报告显示，使用VR头显的奶牛焦虑减少、情绪改善，产奶量增加。 1．What does the underlined word “feasible” probably mean in Paragraph 1? A．Influential. B．Possible. C．Necessary. D．Meaningful. 解析：选B。词文猜测题。根据上下文，在世界某些地方，夏天牛在开阔的草原上吃草是可行的，冬天则因为太冷而无法实现，所以feasible意为“可能的”。A选项“有影响的”、C选项“必要的”、D选项“有意义的”均不符合。 2．What's the result of cows' wearing the VR headsets? A．They could distinguish between blue and green. B．Their milk production rose accordingly. C．Their physical health improved greatly. D．They could adapt to winter easily. 解析：选B。细节理解题。文中第三段提到“Reports from a farm in Moscow...found in 2019 that the cows that used the VR headsets saw a decrease in anxiety and an improved mood.This led to an increase in milk production”，所以牛戴VR头显的结果是产奶量相应增加。A选项“它们能区分蓝色和绿色”错误；C选项“它们的身体健康大大改善”文中未提及；D选项“它们能很容易地适应冬天”不准确。 3．What concept is behind the VR headset program? A．High tech is necessary in the dairy field. B．A silent environment helps cows stay healthy. C．Natural grassland is better for the milk quality. D．A cow with good moods can produce more milk. 解析：选D。推理判断题。VR头显程序背后的理念是让牛看到模拟的夏季草原，改善它们的情绪，从而提高产奶量，即心情好的牛能产更多的奶。A选项“高科技在乳制品领域是必要的”不准确；B选项“安静的环境有助于牛保持健康”文中未提及；C选项“天然草原对牛奶质量更好”不准确。 4．What is the main idea of the passage?

But it seems that their understanding of some “old” technology is not so comprehensive.A new study, conducted by Explore Learning, presented a group of 10­year­old schoolchildren with pictures of classroom items that were commonplace in their parents' generation. More than two thirds had no idea what the overhead projector was called, while 72% couldn't guess what it was even used for.Guessing at its purpose, they threw out ideas like “eye machine” and “walkie talkie”，with some saying it might be used “at the dentist” or “for experimenting”． The confusion continued when they were presented with an old boombox (音箱) radio.One child shouted, “Imagine if you had this boombox and you were just carrying it around all day listening to music! That would be, like...harder！” Another excitedly called out to the old radio, “Hey Google, play Roar by Katy Perry.” Commenting on the research, Amandeep Sanghera, Head of Maths and English at Explore Learning, said, our “Back to School Rewind” survey has uncovered a fascinating—and often hilarious—general gap.It's remarkable to see just how quickly classroom technology develops.Items that were everyday essentials (必需品) for parents have become mysterious relics to their children in just two or three decades. “This old­school tech might be gathering dust in the cupboard now, but it really shows how quickly things can change in our classrooms.It's not just chalk that confuse today's tech—savvy (精通科技的) kids—even the overhead projector is now a puzzling thing from the past！” “While it's amusing to see children puzzle over these outdated technologies, it's also a reminder of the incredible opportunities modern tech offers in classrooms，” Amandeep Sanghera added.

A．Uninterested. B．Puzzled. C．Disappointed. D．Proud. 解析：选B。 细节理解题。根据第三段“More than two thirds had no idea what the overhead projector was called, while 72% couldn't guess what it was even used for.(超过三分之二的人不知道投影仪叫什么，72%的人甚至猜不出它的用途。)”可知，孩子们不了解父母上学时候使用的科技，他们叫不出一些教学设备的名字，也不知道其用途，由此推断他们是感到困惑的，而且第四段首句“The confusion continued (困惑还在继续)”也是提示信息。故选B。 3．What does the underlined word “hilarious” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

Lithium batteries have become the industry standard for electronic devices and electric vehicles and are expected to play a major role in the change to green power.But lithium is expensive, which has led multiple teams across the globe to look for alternatives.In this new effort, the research team looked for ways to reduce the amount of lithium used in batteries. This would normally take a long time because of the detailed approach required.To reduce the workload and the time needed to process millions of alternatives, the researchers turned to AI.Noting that AI applications are good at using massive amounts of data to learn how to do things, the researchers designed one that could study millions of materials that might be added to a lithium battery to replace some amount of the lithium and test the results for factors such as stability and how a battery using a given material would behave. Using this approach, the research team reduced the list of possible alternatives to just a few hundred possibilities.They then turned to materials scientists at PNNL for advice on how to reduce the possibilities even further.The scie$
