It was the last day of the school year. The classroom was filled with excitement. When our teacher, Mr. Johnson, walked in, holding a CD player, everyone’s face lit up with a smile. We knew that this wasn’t going to be another normal day, but a special one.
“Please calm down and sit,” said Mr. Johnson. “I’m glad everyone’s here for the final reading test of the year.” When everyone cried, Mr. Johnson laughed, saying it was just a joke. Then he reminded us that we still had a job to do. “You need to clean out your desks and put all your things into your backpacks,” he added gently.
As we began our task, Mr. Johnson turned on the CD player. The lively music made the room feel like a party. Some of us started singing along with the music, others were dancing around their desks while they were cleaning them out. Even Mr. Johnson showed us a few dance steps, making everyone laugh heartily. After we finished cleaning, someone asked, “When is break time?” Mr. Johnson took out some balls and started playing with them. Suddenly, he let the balls drop and said, “Break time starts…now!”
Just as we were about to rush out our headmaster, Mrs. Miller, appeared at the door. “Mr. Johnson!” she cried out. A moment of silence fell over the room as we thought, “Mr. Johnson might be in trouble.” However, to our surprise, Mrs. Miller couldn’t help but laugh at the sight and left us to enjoy our break.
During break time, Mr. Johnson surprised us with another treat. He went to the cafe and came back with ice creams for everyone. We all cheered for him!
As we walked back to the classroom, we passed Mrs. Miller’s office. Someone joked, “Don’t play with the ice creams, Mr. Johnson!” We all laughed together…
5. What is the correct order of the following activities?

① One morning, I got up early and decided to make an apple pie for my mum. I called my grandma for help, followed a TV program to make jam and waited excitedly. I enjoyed every step so much that I didn’t notice three hours passing by. Although the pie looked terrible and was not that delicious, Mum ate it up and told me it was the best pie that she had ever had. For the first time, I realised that although I didn’t make the pie successfully, I really enjoyed the process.
② The process is important because it brings us something bigger than the result itself. That is, we always have new experiences during the process, which may help us improve our skills or form good relationships with others. If we just concentrate on the result and do not enjoy the process, we will be more likely to feel disappointed and want to give up. As a result, we will never understand the real meaning of success.
③ But in this busy world, we see a lot of successful people are in competition. How can we enjoy the process? Well, the question has the answer in itself.
④ Don’t always compare yourself with others. First of all, we are all different. And success means different things to us. For some, success means being famous, while for others, it may be health or power. Ride your own ride.
⑤ Slow down. You need to stop expecting immediate results in what you do and learn to be patient. Impatience leads to unhappiness. Do it slowly, but never stop.
⑥ Reward (奖励) yourself. Divide the process into small steps, and give yourself a reward after completing each of them. Rewarding yourself for small wins can go a long way. For example, if you are in the process of losing weight, enjoy your favourite cake once in a while.
9. How does the writer start the text?
A By listing numbers. B. By giving an example.
C. By raising a question. D. By using an old saying.
10. What do the underlined words “concentrate on” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Come up with. B. Get ready for. C. Look forward to. D. Pay attention to.
11. Which is the structure of the text?
A. B. C. D.
12. Which could be the best title for the text?
A. Never give up B. What does success mean to us?
C. Enjoy the process D. How can we achieve good results?
D
Seagrass, an underwater plant that grows on the ocean floor, is very important for sea life. It also helps prevent global (全球的) warming by storing carbon (碳), a harmful gas. However, scientists don’t know exactly how much seagrass is at the bottom of the ocean. With the help of tiger sharks, a team of researchers has discovered the world’s largest seagrass meadow on the seafloor near the Bahamas.
Seagrass meadows are home to many different kinds of fish, shellfish, and so on. Large sea animals, such as sharks, also spend a lot of time there looking for food. Seagrass can grow in very deep and dark waters, making it difficult to find. But sharks can dive (潜水) deep into the water and get to the areas people cannot reach.
After noticing tiger sharks swimming through seagrass off the Bahamas, an American scientist worked with a seagrass expert, trying to map the locations (位置) of the plants. The researchers fitted seven tiger sharks with cameras. Since tiger sharks swim in groups, they placed satellite tracking tags (卫星跟踪器) on eight other sharks to find out exactly where the animals swam. They collected hours of videos of the tiger sharks swimming through seagrass.
The researchers found more seagrass growing near the Bahamas than they expected—in fact, they believe that there is more seagrass there than anywhere else on Earth. The new finding increased the total number of seagrass known to exist by 41%. However, more research is needed to discover the true size of the seagrass meadow.
Scientists often depend on findings from divers and boats to study about the underwater world, but this team found that working with animals improved their understanding. They are now placing cameras on sea turtles to study seagrass in the Red Sea. Hopefully, more mysteries about seagrass will be solved.
13. What are the scientists studying according to the text?
A. Seagrass. B. The Bahamas. C. Sharks. D. Cameras.
14. Researchers used tiger sharks to study seagrass because they could ________.
A. make videos of fish
B. eat seagrass as their main food
C. storing harmful carbon
D. dive deep into the waters near the seagrass
15. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The reason for the study.
B. The finding of the research.
C. The way to do the research.
D. The difficulty in carrying out the study.
16. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To tell the importance of saving seagrass.
B. To express the strong love for tiger sharks.
C. To share a new way of doing undersea research.
D. To introduce a special project on global warming.

阅读短文,然后根据内容回答问题。
AI is like giving superpower to computers. It helps them to learn things and do tasks (任务) that people usually do. According to scientists, AI could be used to tell the weather more quickly and correctly than traditional ways.
The traditional way to tell the weather is by collecting data (数据) on what is happening in the air. The data may come from places like weather satellites, planes and so on. Then the data is sent to supercomputers for weather reports. Although supercomputers are powerful, it can take many hours to produce results.
AI models have been developed to quickly tell future weather. They can tell the weather by using two sets of data: the weather at present and the weather from six hours ago. AI models are very helpful. They can be used on standard computers like office computers, and it only takes a few minutes to get the results. However, the results may not include as much information as those produced by traditional models.
Will AI take the place of traditional models? Scientists say it probably won’t, but it will be used together with them. That’s because AI still needs to learn from the data collected by traditional ways. But hopefully, AI will be able to deal with tasks that older ways find difficult, such as telling when and how much it will rain in the near future. This could give people enough time to solve the problems caused by bad weather.
41. Where may the data in traditional weather reports come from?
______________________________________________________________________
42 How does AI know about future weather?
______________________________________________________________________
43. Why do people hope AI will be able to deal with tasks that older ways find difficult?
______________________________________________________________________
44. Can AI take the place of human teachers to teach you in the classroom? Why or why not? (Write 30 words or more)
______________________________________________________________________

Although the pie looked terrible and was not that delicious, Mum ate it up and told me it was the best pie that she had ever had. For the first time, I realised that although I didn’t make the pie successfully, I really enjoyed the process.
② The process is important because it brings us something bigger than the result itself. That is, we always have new experiences during the process, which may help us improve our skills or form good relationships with others. If we just concentrate on the result and do not enjoy the process, we will be more likely to feel disappointed and want to give up. As a result, we will never understand the real meaning of success.
③ But in this busy world, we see a lot of successful people are in competition. How can we enjoy the process? Well, the question has the answer in itself.
④ Don’t always compare yourself with others. First of all, we are all different. And success means different things to us. For some, success means being famous, while for others, it may be health or power. Ride your own ride.
⑤ Slow down. You need to stop expecting immediate results in what you do and learn to be patient. Impatience leads to unhappiness. Do it slowly, but never stop.
⑥ Reward (奖励) yourself. Divide the process into small steps, and give yourself a reward after completing each of them. Rewarding yourself for small wins can go a long way. For example, if you are in the process of losing weight, enjoy your favourite cake once in a while.

Seagrass, an underwater plant that grows on the ocean floor, is very important for sea life. It also helps prevent global (全球的) warming by storing carbon (碳), a harmful gas. However, scientists don’t know exactly how much seagrass is at the bottom of the ocean. With the help of tiger sharks, a team of researchers has discovered the world’s largest seagrass meadow on the seafloor near the Bahamas.
Seagrass meadows are home to many different kinds of fish, shellfish, and so on. Large sea animals, such as sharks, also spend a lot of time there looking for food. Seagrass can grow in very deep and dark waters, making it difficult to find. But sharks can dive (潜水) deep into the water and get to the areas people cannot reach.
After noticing tiger sharks swimming through seagrass off the Bahamas, an American scientist worked with a seagrass expert, trying to map the locations (位置) of the plants. The researchers fitted seven tiger sharks with cameras. Since tiger sharks swim in groups, they placed satellite tracking tags (卫星跟踪器) on eight other sharks to find out exactly where the animals swam. They collected hours of videos of the tiger sharks swimming through seagrass.
The researchers found more seagrass growing near the Bahamas than they expected—in fact, they believe that there is more seagrass there than anywhere else on Earth. The new finding increased the total number of seagrass known to exist by 41%. However, more research is needed to discover the true size of the seagrass meadow.
Scientists often depend on findings from divers and boats to study about the underwater world, but this team found that working with animals improved their understanding. They are now placing cameras on sea turtles to study seagrass in the Red Sea. Hopefully, more mysteries about seagrass will be solved.
13. What are the scientists studying according to the text?
A Seagrass. B. The Bahamas. C. Sharks. D. Cameras.
14. Researchers used tiger sharks to study seagrass because they could ________.
A. make videos of fish
B. eat seagrass as their main food
C. storing harmful carbon
D. dive deep into the waters near the seagrass
15. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The reason for the study.
B. The finding of the research.
C. The way to do the research.
D. The difficulty in carrying out the study.
16. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To tell the importance of saving seagrass.
B. To express the strong love for tiger sharks.
C. To share a new way of doing undersea research.
D. To introduce a special project on global warming.
【答案】13. A 14. D 15. B 16. C

阅读短文,然后根据内容回答问题。
AI is like giving superpower to computers. It helps them to learn things and do tasks (任务) that people usually do. According to scientists, AI could be used to tell the weather more quickly and correctly than traditional ways.
The traditional way to tell the weather is by collecting data (数据) on what is happening in the air. The data may come from places like weather satellites, planes and so on. Then the data is sent to supercomputers for weather reports. Although supercomputers are powerful, it can take many hours to produce results.
AI models have been developed to quickly tell future weather. They can tell the weather by using two sets of data: the weather at present and the weather from six hours ago. AI models are very helpful. They can be used on standard computers like office computers, and it only takes a few minutes to get the results. However, the results may not include as much information as those produced by traditional models.
Will AI take the place of traditional models? Scientists say it probably won’t but it will be used together with them. That’s because AI still needs to learn from the data collected by traditional ways. But hopefully, AI will be able to deal with tasks that older ways find difficult, such as telling when and how much it will rain in the near future. This could give people enough time to solve the problems caused by bad weather.
41. Where may the data in traditional weather reports come from?
______________________________________________________________________
42. How does AI know about future weather?
______________________________________________________________________
43. Why do people hope AI will be able to deal with tasks that older ways find difficult?
______________________________________________________________________
44. Can AI take the place of human teachers to teach you in the classroom? Why or why not? (Write 30 words or more)
______________________________________________________________________
【答案】41. They/It may come from places like weather satellites, planes and so on./Places like weather satellites, planes and so on./Weather satellites, planes and so on.
42. By comparing past and present weather./By using two sets of data: the weather at present and the weather from six hours ago.
43. Because this/it could give people enough time to solve the problems caused by bad weather.
44. No, I don’t think so. Because AI just can follow programs and orders, but human teachers can understand our feelings and encourage us face to face. And they can also give us care and love. We need the true feelings from them.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了人工智能(AI)在天气预报方面的应用及其与传统方法的比较。文章阐述了AI如何快速预测未来天气,以及科学家对于AI是否会取代传统预测模型的看法。
【41题详解】
根据文章第二段“The traditional way to tell the weather is by collecting data (数据) on what is happening in the air. The data may come from places like weather satellites, planes and so on.”可知,传统天气预报的数据可能来自天气卫星、飞机等地方。故填They/It may come from places like weather satellites, planes and so on./Places like weather satellites, planes and so on./Weather satellites, planes and so on.
【42题详解】
根据文章第三段“AI models have been developed to quickly tell future weather. They can tell the weather by using two sets of data: the weather at present and the weather from six hours ago.”可知,人工智能通过使用两组数据(现在的天气和六小时前的天气)来了解未来的天气。故填By comparing past and present weather./By using two sets of data: the weather at present and the weather from six hours ago.
【43题详解】
根据文章最后一段“But hopefully, AI will be able to deal with tasks that older ways find difficult, such as telling when and how much it will rain in the near future. This could give people enough time to solve the problems caused by bad weather.”可知,人们希望人工智能能够处理传统方式难以应对的任务,因为这可以为人们提供足够的时间来解决恶劣天气带来的问题。故填Because this/it could give people enough time to solve the problems caused by bad weather.
【44题详解】
根据文章内容,人工智能虽然强大,但在某些方面仍无法完全取代人类。例如,在教育领域,人工智能虽然可以按照程序和指令进行教学,但无法像人类教师那样理解学生的情感、面对面鼓励学生,也无法给予学生关怀和爱。因此,我认为人工智能不能取代人类教师在课堂上的教学。故填No, I don’t think so. Because AI just can follow programs and orders, but human teachers can understand our feelings and encourage us face to face. And they can also give us care and love. We need the true feelings from them.
