Almost everyone feels anxious(焦虑的)now and then. When that happens, your heart may beat faster. Many people also breathe quickly when they’re anxious. If you feel this way, try taking a few slow, deep breaths first — it helps.
A good way to fight anxiety is to think about the nice things in your life. For example: What’s going well for you lately? What’s your happiest memory ever? Did one small good thing happen today? Thinking about these when you’re anxious can make you feel better soon.
If you feel peaceful when in nature, spending time outside is another great idea. Many people find that walking in nature calms them down. You could also ride a bike or go to a nearby park — these activities work too.
Besides, hanging out with people you love can lower anxiety. Watch a movie or play a board game with your family. Take a walk or have a picnic with your friends. You might be surprised how much this helps!
It’s also important to talk about your feelings with someone you trust, like your parents or teachers. Talking about anxiety lets you understand why you feel that way and learn to handle it.
Have you ever felt anxious? Next time, try different ways to calm yourself. It might take a little time to find what works best for you, but just keep trying!

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way people live, work, and play. To put it simply, AI refers to machines or computer systems that can perform tasks requiring human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving and decision-making. Let’s explore how AI influences people’s daily lives!
Smart Assistants (助手)
Have you ever asked Siri or Alexa for help? These voice-controlled assistants use AI to understand your questions and provide answers. They can play music, set reminders, or even tell jokes. AI makes them “smart” by learning from millions of interactions (互动).
Health Assistants
AI helps doctors check diseases faster and more accurately. For example, AI systems can read X-ray images (图像) to find out signs of illnesses. Some hospitals also use robots powered by AI to send medicines or help do operations.
Education Tools
AI is transforming education too! Learning apps like Duolingo use AI to create lessons. If a student has difficulty in learning math, the app changes the difficulty level and offers extra practice. This makes learning more efficient and fun.
Transportation Improvements
Self-driving cars are no longer science fiction. Some car companies use AI to help cars “see” the road, avoid obstacles (障碍) and follow traffic rules. In the future, AI might reduce accidents caused by human mistakes.
Challenges and the Future
While AI brings many benefits, it also raises problems. For example, can AI replace humans to do jobs? How do people protect their personal information? Scientists are working hard to solve these problems.
In short, when used properly, AI can be a powerful tool that makes life easier and safer.
13. According to the text, what CAN’T smart assistants like Siri and Alexa do?
A Play music. B. Set reminders.
C. Understand human feelings. D. Provide answers to questions.
14. How does the writer show his idea in Paragraph 3?
A. By listing numbers. B. By telling a story. C. By asking questions. D. By giving examples.
15. What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?
A. How AI makes life easier and safer. B. What problems AI brings for humans.
C. What problems car companies are solving. D. What mistakes AI will make in the future.
16. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Where people can use AI B. Who can use AI correctly.
C. How AI comes into being. D. How AI influences people’s daily lives.
【答案】13. C 14. D 15. B 16. D
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了人工智能在日常生活多个领域的应用,包括智能助手、医疗健康、教育工具和交通运输,同时也提到其带来的挑战和未来展望。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据“These voice-controlled assistants use AI to understand your questions and provide answers. They can play music, set reminders, or even tell jokes.”可知,智能助手可以播放音乐、设置提醒、讲笑话和回答问题,但未提及它们能理解人类情感。故选C。
【14题详解】

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。第六段首句“While AI brings many benefits, it also raises problems.”是本段主题句,接着列举了AI可能取代人类工作、隐私保护等问题。因此本段主要讲AI给人类带来的问题。故选B。
【16题详解】

四、阅读与表达(共4小题,41—43小题,每小题2分,44小题4分;满分10分)
阅读短文,然后根据内容回答问题
Scientists from China’s Shanghai Jiao Tong University are developing a robot “guide dog” to help blind people. The robot dog is about the size of a big dog but a little wider. It has six legs instead of four. The two more legs help it stand better and not fall easily, and also help it move faster.
The robot is being tested in Shanghai. With the help of cameras and AI, the robot dog can see, listen and speak with blind people. It can help them during daily trips outside and be a “friend” at home. Blind people can also use a cane (手杖) to control the robot’s walking and running speed. The robot can even see and understand the traffic lights—real guide dogs are unable to do that.
Li Fei and Zhu Sibin are helping test the robot. Li is totally blind and Zhu can only see a little. Zhu often uses a cane to move around. “The robot dog will make it easier to get into public places than with real guide dogs. I am happy to join in the test. It could change our lives in the near future,” Li said.
In China, there are about 17.31 million blind people, but there are only about 400 guide dogs. The new robot is trying to solve this problem. “We believe our robot will act as ‘a pair of eyes’ for blind people,” said Professor Gao Peng, one of the scientists. He thinks there could be a large market for these robot dogs.
41. What is special about the robot guide dog’s legs?
______________________________________________
42. According to Paragraph 2, how can the robot dog help blind people? (List at least two ways.)
______________________________________________
43. Why is it necessary to develop such robot guide dogs in China?
______________________________________________
44. What do you think of this robot guide dog? Do you believe it will be helpful? Give your reason(s). Write 30 words or more.
______________________________________________
【答案】41. It has six legs instead of four.
42. It can help blind people during daily trips outside.It can be a “friend” at home. It can recognize traffic lights. (任选其二)
43. Because there are many blind people but very few real guide dogs in China.
44. Yes, I think it’s very helpful. It can recognize traffic lights which real guide dogs cannot, and it can also be a companion both indoors and outdoors. Plus, it can solve the shortage of guide dogs in China.
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了中国上海交通大学正在研发的机器人导盲犬,它具有六条腿、摄像头和AI功能,能帮助盲人日常出行、识别红绿灯,并有望解决中国导盲犬数量严重不足的问题。
【41题详解】
根据第一段“It has six legs instead of four.”可知,这款机器人导盲犬的特殊之处在于它有六条腿而非四条。故填It has six legs instead of four.
【42题详解】
根据第二段“It can help them during daily trips outside and be a ‘friend’ at home.”和“The robot can even see and understand the traffic lights”可知,机器人导盲犬可以在日常出行中提供帮助,在家中充当“朋友”,并能识别交通信号灯。任选两点回答即可。故填It can help blind people during daily trips outside. It can be a “friend” at home. It can recognize traffic lights. (任选其二)
【43题详解】
根据最后一段“In China, there are about 17.31 million blind people, but there are only about 400 guide dogs. The new robot is trying to solve this problem.”可知,中国盲人数量庞大而导盲犬严重不足,因此研发机器人导盲犬十分必要。故填Because there are many blind people but very few real guide dogs in China.
【44题详解】
本题为开放性问题,要求表达对机器人导盲犬的看法并说明理由(30词及以上)。可从其功能优势(如识别红绿灯、陪伴)、解决导盲犬短缺问题等角度展开。故填Yes, I think it’s very helpful. It can recognize traffic lights which real guide dogs cannot, and it can also be a companion both indoors and outdoors. Plus, it can solve the shortage of guide dogs in China.

【答案】例文
Dear Susie,
I’m glad to hear about your colorful school life. Let me share mine with you.
My school is big with a beautiful garden and a large playground. We start at 8 a.m. and have six classes a day. Our main subjects are Chinese and math, but I love English most. School ends at 5 p.m.
After school, I often play basketball with classmates. I’m also in the English Club where we talk about foreign cultures. Sometimes we have volunteer activities like cleaning the park.
My favorite part is the library—it’s quiet and has many English books. I can read there for hours.
Tell me more about your club activities next time!
Yours,
Li Hui

There are rules and laws everywhere in our daily lives. They help us stay organized and ensure (确保) that everyone of us is equal under rules and laws; that is to say, they ensure that everyone is treated fairly.
Schools make useful classroom rules. These rules help students learn and behave properly. For example, there are rules about not talking while the teacher is speaking, cleaning your desk, and avoiding putting too many things on it. These rules help ensure that every student can learn well in a clean and tidy classroom.
Rules also help keep order on the playground. They help keep everyone safe. Rules like taking turns with the ping-pong bats and not fighting with others ensure that everyone has a good time.
There are also important laws for building a good community. They help keep our buildings clean and safe. For example, there are laws about keeping dogs on a leash (拴狗绳) and not littering. These laws help to make sure that our community is a nice place to live.
Rules and laws are very important and they show us how to act and help us live together better.

Almost everyone feels anxious(焦虑的)now and then. When that happens, your heart may beat faster. Many people also breathe quickly when they’re anxious. If you feel this way, try taking a few slow, deep breaths first — it helps.
A good way to fight anxiety is to think about the nice things in your life. For example: What’s going well for you lately? What’s your happiest memory ever? Did one small good thing happen today? Thinking about these when you’re anxious can make you feel better soon.
If you feel peaceful when in nature, spending time outside is another great idea. Many people find that walking in nature calms them down. You could also ride a bike or go to a nearby park — these activities work too.
Besides, hanging out with people you love can lower anxiety. Watch a movie or play a board game with your family. Take a walk or have a picnic with your friends. You might be surprised how much this helps!
It’s also important to talk about your feelings with someone you trust, like your parents or teachers. Talking about anxiety lets you understand why you feel that way and learn to handle it.
Have you ever felt anxious? Next time, try different ways to calm yourself. It might take a little time to find what works best for you, but just keep trying!
9. What should we first try to do when feeling anxious?
A. Ride a bike in a park. B. Watch a family movie.
C. Talk to parents at once. D. Take slow, deep breaths.
10. What does the underlined word “these” refer to in Paragraph 2?
A. The nice things in your life. B. The people who make you anxious.
C. The problems that cause anxiety. D. The ways to fight anxiety.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way people live, work, and play. To put it simply, AI refers to machines or computer systems that can perform tasks requiring human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving and decision-making. Let’s explore how AI influences people’s daily lives!
Smart Assistants (助手)
Have you ever asked Siri or Alexa for help? These voice-controlled assistants use AI to understand your questions and provide answers. They can play music, set reminders, or even tell jokes. AI makes them “smart” by learning from millions of interactions (互动).
Health Assistants
AI helps doctors check diseases faster and more accurately. For example, AI systems can read X-ray images (图像) to find out signs of illnesses. Some hospitals also use robots powered by AI to send medicines or help do operations.
Education Tools
AI is transforming education too! Learning apps like Duolingo use AI to create lessons. If a student has difficulty in learning math, the app changes the difficulty level and offers extra practice. This makes learning more efficient and fun.
Transportation Improvements
Self-driving cars are no longer science fiction. Some car companies use AI to help cars “see” the road, avoid obstacles (障碍) and follow traffic rules. In the future, AI might reduce accidents caused by human mistakes.
Challenges and the Future
While AI brings many benefits, it also raises problems. For example, can AI replace humans to do jobs? How do people protect their personal information? Scientists are working hard to solve these problems.
In short, when used properly, AI can be a powerful tool that makes life easier and safer.
13. According to the text, what CAN’T smart assistants like Siri and Alexa do?
A. Play music. B. Set reminders.
C. Understand human feelings. D. Provide answers to questions.
14. How does the writer show his idea in Paragraph 3?
A. By listing numbers. B. By telling a story. C. By asking questions. D. By giving examples.
15. What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?
A. How AI makes life easier and safer. B. What problems AI brings for humans.
C. What problems car companies are solving. D. What mistakes AI will make in the future.
16 What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Where people can use AI B. Who can use AI correctly.
C. How AI comes into being. D. How AI influences people’s daily lives.

四、阅读与表达(共4小题,41—43小题,每小题2分,44小题4分;满分10分)
阅读短文,然后根据内容回答问题。
Scientists from China’s Shanghai Jiao Tong University are developing a robot “guide dog” to help blind people. The robot dog is about the size of a big dog but a little wider. It has six legs instead of four. The two more legs help it stand better and not fall easily, and also help it move faster.
The robot is being tested in Shanghai. With the help of cameras and AI, the robot dog can see, listen and speak with blind people. It can help them during daily trips outside and be a “friend” at home. Blind people can also use a cane (手杖) to control the robot’s walking and running speed. The robot can even see and understand the traffic lights—real guide dogs are unable to do that.
Li Fei and Zhu Sibin are helping test the robot. Li is totally blind and Zhu can only see a little. Zhu often uses a cane to move around. “The robot dog will make it easier to get into public places than with real guide dogs. I am happy to join in the test. It could change our lives in the near future,” Li said.
In China, there are about 17.31 million blind people, but there are only about 400 guide dogs. The new robot is trying to solve this problem. “We believe our robot will act as ‘a pair of eyes’ for blind people,” said Professor Gao Peng, one of the scientists. He thinks there could be a large market for these robot dogs.
41. What is special about the robot guide dog’s legs?
______________________________________________
42. According to Paragraph 2, how can the robot dog help blind people? (List at least two ways.)
______________________________________________
43. Why is it necessary to develop such robot guide dogs in China?
______________________________________________
44. What do you think of this robot guide dog? Do you believe it will be helpful? Give your reason(s). Write 30 words or more.
