三、阅读理解(50分)
A lot of big cities, like London, have got many traffic problems. Sometimes a journey (行程) of a few kilometers can take more than an hour. So what’s the best way to get across London? For a very short journey, it’s probably a good idea to walk. But what happens when you want to go further?
The hosts of a popular TV show about cars decided to find out. Each of the hosts chose a different kind of transport to make the same 27-kilometre journey. One host went by bike. One went by car. Another chose public transport—the underground (subway) and bus, and the last one travelled by speedboat up the River Thames. They all started at the same time and the same place in West London, but who got to City Airport in East London first?
The results were a surprise. The bike came first. In second place was the speedboat. Public transport came third and the car was last.
So the hosts had an answer. The bike was quicker than all the other kinds of transport and the car was slower. They weren’t very happy with the result because they wanted the car to win. They made a joke and said the bike wasn’t a real winner because it was more dangerous.
But, of course, the bike is the real winner. It’s the best way to get about. It’s cheaper than public transport and it is healthier than going by car. It’s also better for our cities because bikes don’t make the air dirty. So next time you need to travel around, think before you and your parents get into the car—“________”.
16. What does public transport refer to in this text?
A. The car. B. The speedboat. C. The bike. D. The underground and bus.
17. Which was the final place for the hosts in the show?
A. The River Thames. B. West London.
C. London Bridge. D. City Airport.
18. Why were the hosts unhappy with the results?
A. The bus didn’t come first.
B. The underground was not safe.
C. The car wasn’t the winner.
D. The bike was too expensive.
19. Which of the following can be put into “________”?
A. Can we make this journey by bike?
B. What else do we need to bring?
C. What does the weather report say?
D. Can the dog go with us together?

New AI is all about the eyes
Scientists made a new facial-recognition system (人脸识别系统) and it can tell 95 percent of people when they wear masks. What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes. Marios says, “As we get older, our faces change a lot but our eyes don’t.” Now this technology ( 技术) is used to look for people. However, there is one big weakness (不足): it fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses.
Switch on Happiness
To treat depression (抑郁症), doctors can put a “happy switch (开关)” in patients’ heads to help them. Through the surgery, the doctors put two long lines of electrodes (电极) inside the patient’s brain. Patients can control the happy switch through an app on their phones. When they feel down, they turn on the switch and then they will be happy. But is the switch safe enough? The surgery is really dangerous and doctors also have to make sure that patients don’t depend on it.
Thirsty Computers
ChatGPT is an AI and it can answer questions, tell stories and do much more. But it’s very “thirsty”. When ChatGPT works, its data center (数据中心) gets very hot. So workers have to use a lot of water to cool them down. ChatGPT is not the only one that needs data centers. There are more than 8,000 data centers in the world and the number is still growing. If AI keeps using water, we may have to “fight” with AI for water.
25. The new facial-recognition system can recognize most people because ________.
A. people wear masks and sunglasses B. eyes won’t change a lot with age
C. faces are easy to recognize D. scientists are good at looking for people
26. In the third piece of news “thirsty” means ChatGPT ________.

C. technologies make people happy D. technologies help patients live better
【答案】25. B 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了几种高科技的优缺点。

【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“But it’s very ‘thirsty’. When ChatGPT works, its data center (数据中心) gets very hot. So workers have to use a lot of water to cool them down.”可知,它的数据中心变得非常热,工作人员不得不用水来冷却它们,故推出划线部分应为“渴的”,即ChatGPT工作时需要喝水。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了几种高科技的优缺点,故推出以上所有新闻的共同点为:技术都有两面性。故选A。

四、读写综合(20分)
回答问题:
My name is Ann. I worked as a volunteer in 2013 because I wanted to do something to help others. I called some charity shops (慈善商店) to ask if they needed volunteers. Although I didn’t mind where I volunteered, I was glad that one of the Sue Ryder shops said yes. Sue Ryder was a charity very close to my heart because volunteers from Sue Ryder once cared for my dad in the hospital.
Volunteering in the shop helped me know what shop work was like and I was surprised to find how much I really enjoyed doing it. I also found how important the public (公众) were. Lots of people gave us things they didn’t need for the shops to sell. In this way Sue Ryder raised money to care for people with life-changing illness. I always left the charity shop late because I knew how important the work of Sue Ryder was.
Another thing I enjoyed about volunteering was talking with other volunteers in the shop. They were friendly and helpful. I really improved my teamwork skills by volunteering.

三、阅读理解(50分)
A lot of big cities, like London, have got many traffic problems. Sometimes a journey (行程) of a few kilometers can take more than an hour. So what’s the best way to get across London? For a very short journey, it’s probably a good idea to walk. But what happens when you want to go further?
The hosts of a popular TV show about cars decided to find out. Each of the hosts chose a different kind of transport to make the same 27-kilometre journey. One host went by bike. One went by car. Another chose public transport—the underground (subway) and bus, and the last one travelled by speedboat up the River Thames. They all started at the same time and the same place in West London, but who got to City Airport in East London first?
The results were a surprise. The bike came first. In second place was the speedboat. Public transport came third and the car was last.
So the hosts had an answer. The bike was quicker than all the other kinds of transport and the car was slower. They weren’t very happy with the result because they wanted the car to win. They made a joke and said the bike wasn’t a real winner because it was more dangerous.
But, of course, the bike is the real winner. It’s the best way to get about. It’s cheaper than public transport and it is healthier than going by car. It’s also better for our cities because bikes don’t make the air dirty. So next time you need to travel around, think before you and your parents get into the car—“________”.
16. What does public transport refer to in this text?
A. The car. B. The speedboat. C. The bike. D. The underground and bus.
17. Which was the final place for the hosts in the show?
A. The River Thames. B. West London.
C. London Bridge. D. City Airport.
18. Why were the hosts unhappy with the results?
A. The bus didn’t come first.
B. The underground was not safe.
C. The car wasn’t the winner.
D. The bike was too expensive.
19. Which of the following can be put into “________”?
A. Can we make this journey by bike?
B. What else do we need to bring?
C. What does the weather report say?
D. Can the dog go with us together?

New AI is all about the eyes
Scientists made a new facial-recognition system (人脸识别系统) and it can tell 95 percent of people when they wear masks. What’s the secret? It’s all about your eyes. Marios says, “As we get older, our faces change a lot but our eyes don’t.” Now this technology ( 技术) is used to look for people. However, there is one big weakness (不足): it fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses.
Switch on Happiness
To treat depression (抑郁症), doctors can put a “happy switch (开关)” in patients’ heads to help them. Through the surgery, the doctors put two long lines of electrodes (电极) inside the patient’s brain. Patients can control the happy switch through an app on their phones. When they feel down, they turn on the switch and then they will be happy. But is the switch safe enough? The surgery is really dangerous and doctors also have to make sure that patients don’t depend on it.
Thirsty Computers
ChatGPT is an AI and it can answer questions, tell stories and do much more. But it’s very “thirsty”. When ChatGPT works, its data center (数据中心) gets very hot. So workers have to use a lot of water to cool them down. ChatGPT is not the only one that needs data centers. There are more than 8,000 data centers in the world and the number is still growing. If AI keeps using water, we may have to “fight” with AI for water.

My name is Ann. I worked as a volunteer in 2013 because I wanted to do something to help others. I called some charity shops (慈善商店) to ask if they needed volunteers. Although I didn’t mind where I volunteered, I was glad that one of the Sue Ryder shops said yes. Sue Ryder was a charity very close to my heart because volunteers from Sue Ryder once cared for my dad in the hospital.
Volunteering in the shop helped me know what shop work was like and I was surprised to find how much I really enjoyed doing it. I also found how important the public (公众) were. Lots of people gave us things they didn’t need for the shops to sell. In this way Sue Ryder raised money to care for people with life-changing illness. I always left the charity shop late because I knew how important the work of Sue Ryder was.
Another thing I enjoyed about volunteering was talking with other volunteers in the shop. They were friendly and helpful. I really improved my teamwork skills by volunteering.
I worked in the shop from late April to early August. I learned many things from it and I’m sure they will be useful in the future.
