Where were you? —I________ food for the picnic on the West Hill Farm at that time. A. will prepare B. am preparing C. prepared D. was preparing 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——昨天早上我没有看见你。你在哪呢？——我那时正在西山农场上为野餐准备食物。 考查过去进行时。根据“Yesterday morning I didn’t see you”和“at that time”可知句子应用过去进行时，说明过去某一时刻正在进行动作，其谓语结构为：was/were+现在分词。故选D。 25.

They’re everywhere!” The room was silent for a moment. Then people started laughing loudly. That made Tom sorry, but he didn’t stop trying. At the end of the party, an old man looked out of the window and said, “It’s raining cats and dogs outside. We need to stay here a little longer.” Tom began to worry about the animals. He advised, “Shall we go out and save them?” People laughed again. Tom felt silly and decided to learn more sayings from the locals. He spent the next few weeks learning them. “These sayings are more than just words; they’re a part of their culture and life,” Tom thought. At the next party, Tom wanted to try one more time. When people were discussing the plan for their yearly festival, he said, “Let’s not put all our eggs in one basket.” This time, he used the saying correctly. The local people agreed with him.

They’re everywhere!’ The room was silent for a moment.

He advised, ‘Shall we go out and save them?’ People laughed again.”可知，汤姆误以为“raining cats and dogs”是猫和狗面临危险，而大家又笑了，说明这不是真的猫和狗有危险，结合常识可知，这句话实际意思是外面雨下得很大。故选B。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Tom felt silly and decided to learn more sayings from the locals. He spent the next few weeks learning them.”以及“At the next party, Tom wanted to try one more time. When people were discussing the plan for their yearly festival, he said, ‘Let’s not put all our eggs in one basket.’ This time, he used the saying correctly.”可知，汤姆一开始不理解俗语闹笑话，但他决定学习更多俗语，并且花了几周时间学习，最后在下次聚会上正确使用了俗语，由此可推测他以开放的心态学习新事物。故选D。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。文章讲述了汤姆一开始因不理解俗语闹笑话，但他没有放弃，通过学习最终正确使用俗语并获得成就感的故事，体现了从错误中学习并做出改变永远不晚。故选A。 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题， 共55分) 四、听力填表(共5小题，计5分) 录音中有一篇短文，听录音两遍后，根据所听到的内容完成下面的表格 (每空不多于三个词)。(录音播放前你有30秒钟的读题时间) 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How to be an active listener Importance Active listening is good for your relationships and your ____46____.

However, AI is already a part of our present, and lots of us use it in our daily lives without even realizing it. A great example is Siri, a virtual (虚拟) assistant made by Apple in 2011. 3. People love Siri because it can understand voice orders and perform (执行) tasks. For example, if you say “Call mom,” Siri will dial (拨打)her number for you. Another popular virtual assistant is Alexa, created by Amazon. You can ask Alexa to order food, plan meetings, or even turn the lights on and off in your house. So, how will AI be used in our future daily lives? The possibilities seem endless. One of the most exciting ideas is driverless cars. The first self-driving car was built back in 1977. It used two cameras and a computer to follow street markers. Since then, many companies like Tesla, Google, and Baidu have been working on their own versions (版本). This shows that AI will play an even bigger role in the years to come. AI is expected to help people in many ways. But just like any powerful technology, it also comes with risks. For example, AI could be used by hackers (黑客) to steal personal information like your social media accounts (账户), phone number, or bank details. Another worry is that AI might take over some jobs. 4. AI workers don’t get tired and can work nonstop. This makes some companies prefer AI over human workers. Scientists predict that in the US, AI could replace about 47% of current jobs, such as bank tellers, translators, and kitchen helpers. 71. According to the passage, what do you think of AI? _______________________________ 72. What risks does AI have? _______________________________ 73. 将短文中划线的句子译成汉语。 _______________________________ 74. 将短文中划线的句子译成汉语。 _______________________________ 75. 请给短文拟一个适当的英文标题。 _______________________________ 【答案】71. It is helpful and has some risks.(本题需要从正反两方面回答，每列出一方面得1分，共2分) 72. AI could be used by hackers (黑客) to steal personal information and might take over some jobs. 73. 人们喜欢Siri，因为它能理解语音指令并执行任务。 74. AI工人不会疲倦，并且可以不停歇地工作。 75. Artificial Intelligence: Our Present Help and Future Challenges 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了人工智能（AI）在当今生活中的应用、未来的发展潜力以及伴随的风险。 【71题详解】 根据“AI is expected to help people in many ways. But just like any powerful technology, it also comes with risks.”可知，它既有益处，也存在一些风险。故填It is helpful and has some risks. 【72题详解】 根据“AI could be used by hackers (黑客) to steal personal information like your social media accounts (账户), phone number, or bank details. Another worry is that AI might take over some jobs.”可知，AI可能被黑客利用窃取个人信息，并可能取代某些工作。故填AI could be used by hackers (黑客) to steal personal information and might take over some jobs. 【73题详解】 People love Siri“人们喜欢Siri”；because“因为”；it can“它能”；understand voice orders and perform (执行) tasks“理解语音指令并执行任务”。故填：人们喜欢Siri，因为它能理解语音指令并执行任务。 【74题详解】 AI workers“AI工人”；don’t get tired“不会疲倦”；and“并且”；can work nonstop“可以不停歇地工作”。故填：AI工人不会疲倦，并且可以不停歇地工作。 【75题详解】 全文围绕AI的现状（如Siri、Alexa的应用）与未来（如自动驾驶汽车）展开，同时提及潜在风险，所以英文标题可以是“Artificial Intelligence: Our Present Help and Future Challenges”。故填Artificial Intelligence: Our Present Help and Future Challenges。 八、书面表达(共１题，计20分) 76. 根据以下情景写一篇不少于100词的短文，标点符号不占格。 假设你因为没打扫房间而与父母发生了争执。随后，一场暴雨来袭，当时你正在和朋友谈论这个问题。你的朋友建议你与父母好好沟通。请根据以上情景，以“weathering the storm”为题，写一篇不少于100词的短文，内容包括： 1. 暴雨来袭时发生了什么？ 2. 你是如何解决问题的？ 3. 你学到了什么？ 注意： 1. 短文中不得出现考生姓名、校名等个人信息，否则不予评分。照抄阅读语篇不得分。卷面整洁，书写工整。 Weathering the storm ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A possible version： Weathering the storm Last week, my parents were angry because I refused to clean my room.

However, AI is already a part of our present, and lots of us use it in our daily lives without even realizing it. A great example is Siri, a virtual (虚拟的) assistant made by Apple in 2011. 3. People love Siri because it can understand voice orders and perform (执行) tasks. For example, if you say “Call mom,” Siri will dial (拨打)her number for you. Another popular virtual assistant is Alexa, created by Amazon. You can ask Alexa to order food, plan meetings, or even turn the lights on and off in your house. So, how will AI be used in our future daily lives? The possibilities seem endless. One of the most exciting ideas is driverless cars. The first self-driving car was built back in 1977. It used two cameras and a computer to follow street markers. Since then, many companies like Tesla, Google, and Baidu have been working on their own versions (版本). This shows that AI will play an even bigger role in the years to come. AI is expected to help people in many ways. But just like any powerful technology, it also comes with risks. For example, AI could be used by hackers (黑客) to steal personal information like your social media accounts (账户), phone number, or bank details. Another worry is that AI might take over some jobs. 4. AI workers don’t get tired and can work nonstop. This makes some companies prefer AI over human workers. Scientists predict that in the US, AI could replace about 47% of current jobs, such as bank tellers, translators, and kitchen helpers. 71. According to the passage what do you think of AI? _______________________________ 72.
