I recently talked with four American students. Caden Sorensen, Chandler Stark, Fatima Abdi and Noelani Velasco Polley, to get their thoughts on this question. In 2045, the kids think, humans will be able to live on Mars. They suggest that everyone should spend a few years on the red planet to give the Earth a “rest”. “And when we come back, we must try not to pollute as much.” says Stark. But Mars is not yet ready for human habitation (居住). The kids agree that immediate action must be taken to clean up the Earth. “It’s time to fix it now.” says Sorensen. “It’s not going to fix itself.” The kids do not just care about progress in space exploration. They are also interested in the future jobs. Stark hopes to compose (创作) music for TV shows one day. Abdi wants to be a business owner. Sorensen dreams about becoming a lawyer. Polley wants to be a scientist. “I don’t think there will be a lot of fast-food jobs,” says Abdi. She also thinks that everything is going to get a lot more expensive. “People will have to look for higher-paying jobs. ” Many jobs, the kids predict (预测), will be replaced by robots. “There’ll be no more factory jobs because robots can just do everything.” says Stark. But they believe the power to shape the future is in humans’ hands. “The world will be a better place, but of course, we need to work hard, and we all need to learn to be kind to others. ” 根据短文内容，回答问题。 1．In the kids’ opinion, where will humans be able to live in 2045? 2．What is Sorensen’s idea about the Earth? 3．Why does Stark say there will be no more factory jobs? 4．What do you think the world will look like in 2045? Write 30 words or more. Passage 2 阅读短文，然后根据内容回答问题。 Let’s suppose (假设) it is a common day of 2080. Of course things have changed and life is very different. Trips to the moon are very easy. People can go to the moon every day. There are lots of hotels on the moon for people to live in. Every room has at least one window so that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon. Because in the world today there are a lot more people than there were fifty years ago, deserts are irrigated (灌溉) with water to grow crops. The harvest is always good. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible for people to run the farm by just using a few computers. Now most of the people eat only bread, vegetables and fruit. They don’t eat meat or fish. You see, the number of animals decreases (减少), so people have to be vegetarians. We know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one will die of any disease any more. Such could be our life in 2080. 1．How often can people go to the moon in 2080? 2．Where can people live on the moon? 3．How do people run the farm possibly? 4．Do you agree with the writer? Why or why not? Write 20 words or more. 二、Unit5单元话题热点预测 Passage 1 Answer the questions. (根据短文内容回答问题。) In China, the Dragon Boat Festival is not just about eating zongzi ( rice dumplings) or remembering the poet Qu Yuan. It also teaches a deep lesson about team spirit through dragon boat racing, a tradition that has lasted for over 2,000 years. A dragon boat team has 20 paddlers, a drummer and a steerer. Every member must work perfectly together. The drummer beats the drum to set the rhythm, the paddlers follow the beats to row at the same speed and the steerer guides the boat’s direction. If even one person loses focus, the boat slows down or goes off course. Last year, I joined my school’s dragon boat team. At first, we argued about who should lead. Our coach told us, “In traditional Chinese culture, harmony (和谐) is key. Teamwork means every team member matters.” We practiced hard, learning to trust each other. During races, we shouted,“One, two, one, two!” and the boat darted forward. However, the race day was windy. Our boat faced strong waves. Instead of feeling afraid, we rowed harder, following the drummer’s steady beats. We didn’t win first place, but we felt proud because we acted as one team. The festival reminded us that success isn’t just about speed; it’s about sticking together through challenges. 1．What is one main purpose of the Dragon Boat Festival besides eating zongzi? 2．How many people are there in a dragon boat team? 3．What role does the drummer play? 4．Why did the team feel proud even without winning? 5．How can we use the lesson of dragon boat teamwork in our daily life? Give an example. Passage 2 One day, a father and his son were working in the garden. The father saw a stone on his son’s side. He said, “Son, move that stone away from that place. We will put a nice plant there.” Then the kid tried to move the stone, but he was unable to do so. He said to his father, “Dad, I am not able to move this stone because it’s too heavy.” The father replied, “Try again. Use all your ways to move that stone away.” The kid tried again and used all his power, but still failed to move it. He got tired and started to cry. Hearing his son crying, the father came running toward him. He sat beside the boy and held him near to himself. Then he said, “Why are you crying? I told you to use all your ways to move that stone, didn’t I?” The boy, with a sad look on his face, replied, “I did try my best to move away that stone, Dad, but I was still unable to do so.” “But you forgot about me, my dear. If you needed help, why didn’t you include me in your ‘ways’?” replied the father. The child was enlightened (得到启发) to hear this. Now with his father’s help, he easily completed the task to move the large stone from its place. Finally, he and his father planted a nice new plant there. 1．Where were the father and son working? 2．How many times did the son try to move the stone alone? 3．Who helped the son achieve his task at last? 4．What lesson can you learn from the boy’s experience? Write 30 words or more. 三、Unit4单元话题热点预测 Passage 1 Read the passage and complete the tasks. (根据短文内容完成任务。) A new fleet of ocean-cleaning drones is being tested to remove plastic waste from the sea. These autonomous (自动的) devices use AI to detect and collect floating debris (碎片), helping to reduce the millions of tons of plastic polluting the oceans. The drones operate day and night, covering large areas more efficiently than human-led clean-up efforts. Traditional clean-up methods involve ships and nets, which are slow, expensive, and often harm marine life. The drones, however, are designed to avoid wildlife while targeting only plastic waste. Early trials show they can collect up to 100 kilograms of debris per day, making them a promising solution for large-scale ocean clean-up. One challenge is that strong ocean currents can push debris out of reach, making it harder for the drones to operate effectively. Dr. Hannah Lee, the project coordinator, says her team is improving the drones’ navigation systems to handle rough sea conditions. They are also developing ways to recycle the collected plastic into usable materials. If successful, these drones could play a key role in restoring marine ecosystems and protecting sea life. This technology offers hope for a cleaner, healthier ocean in the future. 1．How do the drones identify plastic waste in the ocean? 2．Why are drones better than traditional clean-up methods? 3．How much debris can each drone collect daily? 4．What problem do strong ocean currents cause for the drones? 5．What aspect of the drones is Dr. Lee’s team improving? 6．Explain how ocean-cleaning drones help marine life. (不超过30个词) Passage 2 Grandma Li is over seventy years old. She has lived in Beijing all her life. She is being interviewed about life today and in the past. What was your life like in the past? My family lived in a small house. There were no electric lights, only candles (蜡烛). My father was a postman, and he often worked for long hours. My mum was a farm girl before she met my father. Then she didn’t go out to work. There were five children in my family. I still remember the family meals. The food was simple. We could only eat meat once or twice a year. I didn’t go to school because my parents couldn’t afford (承担得起) it. How has your life changed? Transport and travel are easier today. When I was young, I went here and there on foot or sometimes by bike. Now I can take the bus everywhere, and there’s also the underground for people to take. And quite a few people can take a plane to anywhere in the world. The only thing I don’t like, though, is that there’s so much more traffic. Of course, we didn’t have televisions when I was a child. I really enjoy watching TV today in my free time. There are so many good programmes. But some of the shows are too noisy for me, so I don’t like them. Generally speaking, I think life is much better today. We eat better and we live longer. 1．Who made money for Mrs Li’s family when she was young? 2．Why didn’t Mrs Li go to school? 3．How did Mrs Li use to travel? 4．What does Mrs Li like doing when she is free now? 5．What’s the passage mainly about? 6．If you could choose, would you prefer to live in Mrs Li’s past or in modern life? Why? (Give at least two reasons.) 四、Units1-3单元话题热点预测 Passage 1 Read and answer the questions. (根据短文内容回答问题) The Last Drop Emma still remembered the river of her childhood — crystal clear, brimming with fish, and shaded by willow trees whose branches kissed the water. She and her friends swam in it during summers, their laughter echoing across the fields. But now, when Emma returned to the village, she was shocked. As she stood on the same riverbank, she saw a different scene: the water was dirty, littered with plastic bottles and floating rubbish, and the willows had dried. A sign read: No Swimming. Dangerous Water. Her heart sank. She recalled her grandfather’s stories about how this river had nurtured (养育) their village for generations. Today, it smelled of decay (腐烂). Later, in school, her teacher explained how industrial waste and plastic pollution had polluted the river. “Water is life,” the teacher said, “but we’ve taken it for granted.” That afternoon, Emma decided to take action. She started a “Save Our River” campaign at school, organizing clean-up drives and writing to local officials. Slowly, others joined — students, teachers, even farmers. They removed trash, planted new trees, and monitored water quality. Months later, though the river wasn’t fully healed, Emma saw hopeful signs: dragonflies returning, water clearing, and children watching from the bank with curiosity. She knew it was just a start. One year later, Emma visited the river again. ____________________ 1．Emma didn’t swim in the river during summers in her childhood, did she? 2．What did Emma see on the riverbank when she returned? 3．Why was the river polluted? 4．Why did Emma’s heart sink? 5．What did Emma and other people do to heal the river? 6．How does the title “The Last Drop” relate to the theme? 7．Describe what happened when Emma visited the river one year later. What changes did she see? What challenges remained?（请给文章加一个合理的结尾，30个单词左右。） Passage 2 Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) Water plays an important role in our daily lives. It makes up about sixty percent of your body weight. Most of us get our water at a low price from the taps. But some people prefer bottled water, even though it costs more. Bottled water first appeared in the United States in the 1760s. A company called Jackson’s Spa sold bottled water. It said that the water could be good for people’s health. Since then, bottled water has become more and more popular worldwide. In 2019, for the first time, Americans drank more bottled water than soda. Why has bottled water become so popular? Well, this may have something to do with people’s worries about the purity (纯净) of tap water. According to one survey, 63 percent of Americans worried a lot about the safety of their drinking water. However, research suggests such worries are unnecessary. For most families, bottled water isn’t better than tap water. In fact, almost half of all bottled water comes from the tap. When it comes to taste, most of us can’t tell the difference. Once a blind taste test was done and only a third of the taste-testers were able to correctly pick out which one was from tap water. Making bottled water, however, requires lots of things. Plastic bottles are usually used only once before being thrown away. Besides, more water goes into the making of a bottle of water. One study found that companies usually use 1.39 litres (升) of water to make one litre of bottled water. Do you prefer bottled water to tap water? It’s time to change your mind! Bottled water is more expensive. However, it isn’t much better than the water you get from your kitchen tap. Task 1: Answer the questions: 1．Bottled water is cheaper than tap water, isn’t it? 2．When did bottled water first appear in America? 3．Why is bottled water popular with Americans? 4．Why was a blind taste test done? 5．How does the writer show the fact that more water goes into the making of a bottle of water? 6．What is the writer’s attitude towards tap water? Task 2: 7．Write more about the advantages of tap water or the disadvantages of bottled water in about 30 words. Passage 3 Should kids use AI to do homework? Nowadays, artificial intelligence (AI) has become part of our everyday lives. It makes our smart equipment work, and you may already be using an AI programme in school. But advanced chatbots, like ChatGPT, are new. They are called generative AI. Ask a chatbot a question, and it will generate a whole article. Some educators worry that chatbots could prevent students from learning on their own. So, should students use AI to do their homework? Dylan Patel AI could completely change the way students learn. Many fear that chatbots can be used as a cheating tool, but I think they can be programmed to guide students through questions instead of giving them the answers. What’s more, AI tutors (助教) can provide 24/7 support for students. AI is here to stay. Either you move with the times, or the times will move without you! Harper Carroll Schoolwork should teach kids skills and develop their brains. While technology can be a useful tool, kids need to be able to do basic tasks independently. This is why kids learn how to calculate, even though calculators have existed for a long time. And that’s also the reason why schools teach handwriting and spelling, when most adults use computers to write. Kids’ brains need to be exercised to develop, just like their bodies. AI may benefit adults, but it is harmful to children if they use AI before thinking for themselves. Alexa Teaching kids how to use AI can prepare them for our technology-filled future. According to a survey, most Americans think it’s necessary for students to learn AI-related skills for their future careers. Using AI can help build the critical thinking (批判性思维) and problem-solving skills kids will need. I believe that as long as it’s done well, learning with AI will change society for the better. 1．What topic is this article discussing? 2．Which of the three students is against using AI to do homework? 3．Dylan Patel is afraid that chatbots can be used as a cheating tool, isn’t he? 4．According to Harper Carroll, why should kids learn how to calculate and write? 5．List three good points of teaching kids how to use AI mentioned by Alexa. ① ② ③ 6．What’s your opinion on this topic? Give your own reason(s) except the above. Passage 4 Read the passage and complete the tasks. (根据短文内容完成任务。) A new fleet of ocean-cleaning drones is being tested to remove plastic waste from the sea.

(不超过30个词) Passage 5 On the afternoon of Oct 14th, 2025, in a lecture hall at China Women’s University, female leaders from different backgrounds and generations came together for the opening ceremony of the Global Center for Women’s Capacity Building. The ceremony was held as a side event of the Global Leaders’ Meeting on Women. This new global project aims to help women and girls to become leaders in the future. Sima Sami Bahous, director of UN Women, gave a speech at the gathering. “Women and girls are change agents, leaders and the great engine of progress.” she said. Other leaders also shared their valuable thoughts. Maimona Khalid from Sudan offered practical advice: “Educate yourself, learn about the international community, understand the world,” she said. “If you have a chance to travel, travel. If you don’t have a chance, now this is the internet era, so learn about other cultures and civilizations, know how women are suffering in other countries, and recognize the gifts you have here in your country and work on yourself,” she added. Song Tingting, vice president of the video-sharing platform Kuaishou Technology, described the meeting as a “window to the future” for young women. As a successful woman in the tech industry, Song pointed out that digital technology creates new opportunities for young women’s growth. In the past, leadership often required a formal title, but today, young women can build a strong personal brand and gain influence by sharing professional and valuable content online. However, Song also acknowledged the digital gender gap. This means women often have less access to technology. She said. “To solve these issues is a long-term and systematic effort that requires the collaboration of governments, businesses, and society as a whole.” She also stressed that the most crucial factor for women is “having passion and believing that I can do this”. To show the power of digital skills, Song shared the inspiring story of Mizang Zhuoma, a 28-year-old Tibetan woman. She once earned very little by collecting mushrooms. By using short videos and live streaming, she started helping her village sell local products, improving their yearly sales to millions of yuan. Her story, which was even featured in Time magazine, proves that digital skills can offer women dignity and great opportunities for development. 1．When was the opening ceremony of the Global Center for Women’s Capacity Building held? 2．Did Sima Sami Bahous describe women and girls as the great engine of progress? 3．What advice did Maimona Khalid give to young women? 4．What is needed to solve the digital gender gap problem? 5．How did Mizang Zhuoma help her village increase sales? 6．If you could use a digital skill to help your community, what would it be and why? Passage 6 Luke Fortune was a 21-year-old student. He drove from his small town to Portland to celebrate his friend’s birthday. He parked his car in a garage overnight. The next morning, he found his car window broken. His backpack with his computer inside was stolen. Luke felt very upset. He was studying to become a paramedic (护理人员). His computer contained everything important to him—all his class notes, internship papers (实习报告), and family photos. Losing these made him feel anxious. Two days later, something unexpected happened. Masoud Almazrouei, a 29-year-old exchange student from the United Arab Emirates, was outside his apartment. A stranger offered to sell him a computer for only $200. Since Masoud needed a computer for school and the price was low, he decided to buy it. When Masoud turned on the computer at home, he immediately saw someone else’s files (文件) and photos. “This must be stolen,” he thought. He found what appeared to be the owner’s phone number and decided to call. Luke answered the phone but didn’t trust the caller’s accent. He thought it might be a trick, so he hung up. He remained unconvinced that this was a genuine (真实的) call. However, Masoud didn’t give up. He brought the computer to the police station, left his contact information, and apologized for the situation. Soon after, a police officer called Luke with the good news. Luke called Masoud to thank him and offered to pay back the $200. But Masoud refused. “It was my mistake to buy from a stranger,” he explained. “More importantly, I believe it’s my duty to return what doesn’t belong to me. I saw your photos—you’re training to help people. I don’t want any reward.” This experience changed Luke’s perspective. Having grown up in a small town with little diversity (多样性), he admitted, “I had heard some negative things about Arab people, but Masoud showed me unexpected kindness.” Masoud’s honesty was recognized (认可) by his university. When the school president heard the story, he called Masoud and said, “We’re proud of what you did. To support your studies, we’ll give you a new computer.” For Masoud, while the new computer was appreciated, the real satisfaction was simpler. “I just did what anyone should do,” he said. “Helping someone get their important things back is reward enough.” 1．Luke Fortune didn’t drive to Portland to celebrate his friend’s birthday, did he? 2．How did Luke Fortune feel after his computer was stolen? 3．What does the underlined word “unconvinced” probably mean in the passage? 4．Why did Masoud Almazrouei want to return the computer? 5．What do you think of Masoud Almazrouei’s act of returning the stolen computer? Please explain your reason. 2 / 25 1 / 25 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 考前押题08 回答问题含续写 一、Unit6单元话题热点预测 1 二、Unit5单元话题热点预测 4 三、Unit4单元话题热点预测 7 四、Units1-3单元话题热点预测 11 一、Unit6单元话题热点预测 Passage 1 Mars, robots, higher prices and more What will the world look like in 2045?

The father saw a stone on his son’s side. He said, “Son, move that stone away from that place. We will put a nice plant there.” Then the kid tried to move the stone, but he was unable to do so. He said to his father, “Dad, I am not able to move this stone because it’s too heavy.” The father replied, “Try again. Use all your ways to move that stone away.” The kid tried again and used all his power, but still failed to move it. He got tired and started to cry. Hearing his son crying, the father came running toward him. He sat beside the boy and held him near to himself. Then he said, “Why are you crying? I told you to use all your ways to move that stone, didn’t I?” The boy, with a sad look on his face, replied, “I did try my best to move away that stone, Dad, but I was still unable to do so.” “But you forgot about me, my dear. If you needed help, why didn’t you include me in your ‘ways’?” replied the father. The child was enlightened (得到启发) to hear this. Now with his father’s help, he easily completed the task to move the large stone from its place. Finally, he and his father planted a nice new plant there. 1．Where were the father and son working? 2．How many times did the son try to move the stone alone? 3．Who helped the son achieve his task at last? 4．What lesson can you learn from the boy’s experience? Write 30 words or more. 【答案】1．In the garden. 2．Twice. 3．His father. 4．When facing difficulties, we should not rely only on our own strength. Asking for help is a smart way to solve problems.

Asking for help is a smart way to solve problems. Cooperation makes tasks easier and teaches us the value of teamwork. 三、Unit4单元话题热点预测 Passage 1 Read the passage and complete the tasks. (根据短文内容完成任务。) A new fleet of ocean-cleaning drones is being tested to remove plastic waste from the sea. These autonomous (自动的) devices use AI to detect and collect floating debris (碎片), helping to reduce the millions of tons of plastic polluting the oceans. The drones operate day and night, covering large areas more efficiently than human-led clean-up efforts. Traditional clean-up methods involve ships and nets, which are slow, expensive, and often harm marine life. The drones, however, are designed to avoid wildlife while targeting only plastic waste. Early trials show they can collect up to 100 kilograms of debris per day, making them a promising solution for large-scale ocean clean-up. One challenge is that strong ocean currents can push debris out of reach, making it harder for the drones to operate effectively. Dr. Hannah Lee, the project coordinator, says her team is improving the drones’ navigation systems to handle rough sea conditions. They are also developing ways to recycle the collected plastic into usable materials. If successful, these drones could play a key role in restoring marine ecosystems and protecting sea life. This technology offers hope for a cleaner, healthier ocean in the future. 1．How do the drones identify plastic waste in the ocean? 2．Why are drones better than traditional clean-up methods? 3．How much debris can each drone collect daily? 4．What problem do strong ocean currents cause for the drones? 5．What aspect of the drones is Dr. Lee’s team improving? 6．Explain how ocean-cleaning drones help marine life.

(根据短文内容回答问题) The Last Drop Emma still remembered the river of her childhood — crystal clear, brimming with fish, and shaded by willow trees whose branches kissed the water. She and her friends swam in it during summers, their laughter echoing across the fields. But now, when Emma returned to the village, she was shocked. As she stood on the same riverbank, she saw a different scene: the water was dirty, littered with plastic bottles and floating rubbish, and the willows had dried. A sign read: No Swimming. Dangerous Water. Her heart sank. She recalled her grandfather’s stories about how this river had nurtured (养育) their village for generations. Today, it smelled of decay (腐烂). Later, in school, her teacher explained how industrial waste and plastic pollution had polluted the river. “Water is life,” the teacher said, “but we’ve taken it for granted.” That afternoon, Emma decided to take action. She started a “Save Our River” campaign at school, organizing clean-up drives and writing to local officials. Slowly, others joined — students, teachers, even farmers. They removed trash, planted new trees, and monitored water quality. Months later, though the river wasn’t fully healed, Emma saw hopeful signs: dragonflies returning, water clearing, and children watching from the bank with curiosity. She knew it was just a start. One year later, Emma visited the river again. ____________________ 1．Emma didn’t swim in the river during summers in her childhood, did she? 2．What did Emma see on the riverbank when she returned? 3．Why was the river polluted? 4．Why did Emma’s heart sink? 5．What did Emma and other people do to heal the river? 6．How does the title “The Last Drop” relate to the theme? 7．Describe what happened when Emma visited the river one year later.

Passage 2 Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务) Water plays an important role in our daily lives. It makes up about sixty percent of your body weight. Most of us get our water at a low price from the taps. But some people prefer bottled water, even though it costs more. Bottled water first appeared in the United States in the 1760s. A company called Jackson’s Spa sold bottled water. It said that the water could be good for people’s health. Since then, bottled water has become more and more popular worldwide. In 2019, for the first time, Americans drank more bottled water than soda. Why has bottled water become so popular? Well, this may have something to do with people’s worries about the purity (纯净) of tap water. According to one survey, 63 percent of Americans worried a lot about the safety of their drinking water. However, research suggests such worries are unnecessary. For most families, bottled water isn’t better than tap water. In fact, almost half of all bottled water comes from the tap. When it comes to taste, most of us can’t tell the difference. Once a blind taste test was done and only a third of the taste-testers were able to correctly pick out which one was from tap water. Making bottled water, however, requires lots of things. Plastic bottles are usually used only once before being thrown away. Besides, more water goes into the making of a bottle of water. One study found that companies usually use 1.39 litres (升) of water to make one litre of bottled water. Do you prefer bottled water to tap water? It’s time to change your mind! Bottled water is more expensive. However, it isn’t much better than the water you get from your kitchen tap. Task 1: Answer the questions: 1．Bottled water is cheaper than tap water, isn’t it? 2．When did bottled water first appear in America? 3．Why is bottled water popular with Americans? 4．Why was a blind taste test done? 5．How does the writer show the fact that more water goes into the making of a bottle of water? 6．What is the writer’s attitude towards tap water? Task 2: 7．Write more about the advantages of tap water or the disadvantages of bottled water in about 30 words. 【答案】1．No, it isn’t. 2．In the 1760s. 3．Because people worried about the purity of tap water. 4．To see if most of us can tell the difference between bottled water and tap water in taste. 5．By citing a study. 6．Positive. 7．Tap water is much cheaper, tastes almost the same and causes no plastic pollution, while bottled water wastes resources, creates plastic rubbish and needs extra fuel in transportation. 【导语】本文主要讨论了瓶装水在美国的起源、流行原因、与自来水的比较，以及瓶装水生产对环境的影响。文章旨在提醒读者瓶装水并非比自来水更优越，且生产过程中存在资源浪费问题。 1．根据文章中的“But some people prefer bottled water, even though it costs more.”可知，瓶装水比自来水贵，而不是便宜。故填No, it isn’t. 2．根据文章中的“Bottled water first appeared in the United States in the 1760s”可知，瓶装水首次出现在美国是在18世纪60年代。故填In the 1760s. 3．根据文章中的“this may have something to do with people’s worries about the purity (纯净) of tap water”可知，瓶装水在美国受欢迎的原因可能与人们对自来水纯净度的担忧有关。故填Because people worried about the purity of tap water. 4．根据文章中的“Once a blind taste test was done and only a third of the taste-testers were able to correctly pick out which one was from tap water.”可知，进行盲品测试是为了看我们大多数人是否能品尝出瓶装水和自来水在味道上的差异。故填To see if most of us can tell the difference between bottled water and tap water in taste. 5．根据文章中的“One study found that companies usually use 1.39 litres (升) of water to make one litre of bottled water.”可知作者通过引用一项研究来说明生产一瓶瓶装水需要消耗更多的水。故填By citing a study. 6．根据文章中的“However, it isn’t much better than the water you get from your kitchen tap.”可知，作者认为自来水并不比瓶装水差很多，因此作者对自来水的态度是积极的。故填Positive. 7．这是一个开放性问题，答案因人而异。但可以根据文章内容和常识来回答。故填Tap water is much cheaper, tastes almost the same and causes no plastic pollution, while bottled water wastes resources, creates plastic rubbish and needs extra fuel in transportation. Passage 3 Should kids use AI to do homework? Nowadays, artificial intelligence (AI) has become part of our everyday lives. It makes our smart equipment work, and you may already be using an AI programme in school. But advanced chatbots, like ChatGPT, are new. They are called generative AI. Ask a chatbot a question, and it will generate a whole article. Some educators worry that chatbots could prevent students from learning on their own. So, should students use AI to do their homework? Dylan Patel AI could completely change the way students learn. Many fear that chatbots can be used as a cheating tool, but I think they can be programmed to guide students through questions instead of giving them the answers. What’s more, AI tutors (助教) can provide 24/7 support for students. AI is here to stay. Either you move with the times, or the times will move without you! Harper Carroll Schoolwork should teach kids skills and develop their brains. While technology can be a useful tool, kids need to be able to do basic tasks independently. This is why kids learn how to calculate, even though calculators have existed for a long time. And that’s also the reason why schools teach handwriting and spelling, when most adults use computers to write. Kids’ brains need to be exercised to develop, just like their bodies. AI may benefit adults, but it is harmful to children if they use AI before thinking for themselves. Alexa Teaching kids how to use AI can prepare them for our technology-filled future. According to a survey, most Americans think it’s necessary for students to learn AI-related skills for their future careers. Using AI can help build the critical thinking (批判性思维) and problem-solving skills kids will need. I believe that as long as it’s done well, learning with AI will change society for the better. 1．What topic is this article discussing? 2．Which of the three students is against using AI to do homework? 3．Dylan Patel is afraid that chatbots can be used as a cheating tool, isn’t he? 4．According to Harper Carroll, why should kids learn how to calculate and write? 5．List three good points of teaching kids how to use AI mentioned by Alexa. ① ② ③ 6．What’s your opinion on this topic? Give your own reason(s) except the above. 【答案】44．Whether kids should use AI to do homework. 45．Harper Carroll. 46．No, he isn’t./No. 47．Because kids need to do basic tasks by themselves to exercise and develop their brains. 48． Prepare them for a technology-filled future. Necessary for future careers. Build critical thinking and problem-solving skills. 49．I think kids can use AI to do homework, but with proper guidance. Because AI can provide diverse ideas and perspectives, which can inspire kids’ creativity while they still need to think and organize the answers by themselves. (开放性试题，言之有理即可) 【导语】本文主要探讨了孩子是否应该使用人工智能来完成作业这一话题，不同人给出了不同观点。 1．根据“Should students use AI to do their homework?”及通读全文可知，文章讨论的话题是孩子是否用AI做作业。故填Whether kids should use AI to do homework. 2．根据Harper Carroll的观点“Schoolwork should teach kids skills and develop their brains. While technology can be a useful tool, kids need to be able to do basic tasks independently. AI may benefit adults, but it is harmful to children if they use AI before thinking for themselves.”可知，Harper Carroll反对孩子用AI做作业。故填Harper Carroll. 3．根据Dylan Patel的观点“Many fear that chatbots can be used as a cheating tool, but I think they can be programmed to guide students through questions instead of giving them the answers.”可知，他并不害怕聊天机器人被用作作弊工具，而是觉得可以编程引导。故填No, he isn’t./No. 4．根据Harper Carroll的观点“Schoolwork should teach kids skills and develop their brains.

Passage 5 On the afternoon of Oct 14th, 2025, in a lecture hall at China Women’s University, female leaders from different backgrounds and generations came together for the opening ceremony of the Global Center for Women’s Capacity Building. The ceremony was held as a side event of the Global Leaders’ Meeting on Women. This new global project aims to help women and girls to become leaders in the future. Sima Sami Bahous, director of UN Women, gave a speech at the gathering. “Women and girls are change agents, leaders and the great engine of progress.” she said. Other leaders also shared their valuable thoughts. Maimona Khalid from Sudan offered practical advice: “Educate yourself, learn about the international community, understand the world,” she said. “If you have a chance to travel, travel. If you don’t have a chance, now this is the internet era, so learn about other cultures and civilizations, know how women are suffering in other countries, and recognize the gifts you have here in your country and work on yourself,” she added. Song Tingting, vice president of the video-sharing platform Kuaishou Technology, described the meeting as a “window to the future” for young women. As a successful woman in the tech industry, Song pointed out that digital technology creates new opportunities for young women’s growth. In the past, leadership often required a formal title, but today, young women can build a strong personal brand and gain influence by sharing professional and valuable content online. However, Song also acknowledged the digital gender gap. This means women often have less access to technology. She said. “To solve these issues is a long-term and systematic effort that requires the collaboration of governments, businesses, and society as a whole.” She also stressed that the most crucial factor for women is “having passion and believing that I can do this”. To show the power of digital skills, Song shared the inspiring story of Mizang Zhuoma, a 28-year-old Tibetan woman. She once earned very little by collecting mushrooms. By using short videos and live streaming, she started helping her village sell local products, improving their yearly sales to millions of yuan. Her story, which was even featured in Time magazine, proves that digital skills can offer women dignity and great opportunities for development. 1．When was the opening ceremony of the Global Center for Women’s Capacity Building held? 2．Did Sima Sami Bahous describe women and girls as the great engine of progress? 3．What advice did Maimona Khalid give to young women? 4．What is needed to solve the digital gender gap problem? 5．How did Mizang Zhuoma help her village increase sales? 6．If you could use a digital skill to help your community, what would it be and why? 【答案】1．On the afternoon of Oct 14th, 2025. 2．Yes, she did. 3．Educate yourself, learn about the international community, understand the world; if you have a chance to travel, travel; if not, learn about other cultures and civilizations through the internet, know how women are suffering in other countries, recognize the gifts in your own country and work on yourself. 4．It requires a long-term and systematic effort and the collaboration of governments, businesses, and society as a whole. 5．By using short videos and live streaming to help her village sell local products. 6．I would use video editing skills to make promotional videos for my community.

He drove from his small town to Portland to celebrate his friend’s birthday. He parked his car in a garage overnight. The next morning, he found his car window broken. His backpack with his computer inside was stolen. Luke felt very upset. He was studying to become a paramedic (护理人员). His computer contained everything important to him—all his class notes, internship papers (实习报告), and family photos. Losing these made him feel anxious. Two days later, something unexpected happened. Masoud Almazrouei, a 29-year-old exchange student from the United Arab Emirates, was outside his apartment. A stranger offered to sell him a computer for only $200. Since Masoud needed a computer for school and the price was low, he decided to buy it. When Masoud turned on the computer at home, he immediately saw someone else’s files (文件) and photos. “This must be stolen,” he thought. He found what appeared to be the owner’s phone number and decided to call. Luke answered the phone but didn’t trust the caller’s accent. He thought it might be a trick, so he hung up. He remained unconvinced that this was a genuine (真实的) call. However, Masoud didn’t give up. He brought the computer to the police station, left his contact information, and apologized for the situation. Soon after, a police officer called Luke with the good news. Luke called Masoud to thank him and offered to pay back the $200. But Masoud refused. “It was my mistake to buy from a stranger,” he explained. “More importantly, I believe it’s my duty to return what doesn’t belong to me. I saw your photos—you’re training to help people. I don’t want any reward.” This experience changed Luke’s perspective. Having grown up in a small town with little diversity (多样性), he admitted, “I had heard some negative things about Arab people, but Masoud showed me unexpected kindness.” Masoud’s honesty was recognized (认可) by his university. When the school president heard the story, he called Masoud and said, “We’re proud of what you did. To support your studies, we’ll give you a new computer.” For Masoud, while the new computer was appreciated, the real satisfaction was simpler. “I just did what anyone should do,” he said. “Helping someone get their important things back is reward enough.” 1．Luke Fortune didn’t drive to Portland to celebrate his friend’s birthday, did he? 2．How did Luke Fortune feel after his computer was stolen? 3．What does the underlined word “unconvinced” probably mean in the passage? 4．Why did Masoud Almazrouei want to return the computer? 5．What do you think of Masoud Almazrouei’s act of returning the stolen computer? Please explain your reason. 【答案】1．Yes, he did. 2．He felt very upset and anxious. 3．It probably means unsure, uncertain or doubtful. 4．Because he believed it was his duty to return what didn’t belong to him, and he didn’t want any reward. 5．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：I think Masoud’s act was highly honest, responsible, and kind. He believed it was his duty to return the stolen computer and didn’t give up even when the owner felt unsure about him. His unselfishness and good character are truly great. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述交换学生Masoud购买到赃物电脑后，主动联系失主并坚持将其归还原主Luke的故事，颂扬了诚实、责任感和跨文化的善意，并展现了这种善举如何打破偏见、感动他人并获得认可。 1．本题为反义疑问句，核心是验证原句事实。根据第一段“He drove from his small town to Portland to celebrate his friend’s birthday.”可知，Luke确实开车去波特兰庆祝朋友生日，因此反义疑问句的回答应为肯定形式“Yes, he did”。故填Yes, he did. 2．根据第二段“Luke felt very upset.”和“Losing these made him feel anxious.”可知，电脑被偷后，他感到非常沮丧和焦虑。故填He felt very upset and anxious. 3．根据第五段“Luke answered the phone but didn’t trust the caller’s accent. He thought it might be a trick, so he hung up. He remained unconvinced that this was a genuine call.”可知，Luke不信任对方的口音，认为可能是骗局，也就是说Luke对这件事持怀疑、不确定的态度；据此可以推断，画线单词unconvinced意为“不信服的；怀疑的”，形容词，与doubtful/uncertain/unsure同义，均贴合语境。故填It probably means unsure, uncertain or doubtful. 4．根据第七段“More importantly, I believe it’s my duty to return what doesn’t belong to me. I saw your photos—you’re training to help people. I don’t want any reward.”可知，Masoud归还电脑的核心原因是他认为归还不属于自己的东西是他的责任，同时他也不想要任何报酬。故填Because he believed it was his duty to return what didn’t belong to him, and he didn’t want any reward. 5．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：I think Masoud’s act was highly honest, responsible, and kind. He believed it was his duty to return the stolen computer and didn’t give up even when the owner felt unsure about him. His willingness to help others and good character are truly great. 2 / 25 1 / 25 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
