B There's a very real concern that robots could eventually make some of our jobs no longer needed, but at a robot-only sports competition in China recently, the immediate concern was that they would fall over or crash into each other. The Humanoid Robot Games, a three-day event in Beijing, featured more than 280 teams from universities and private companies in 16 countries. Some robots did well in moving through difficult courses and uneven ground. In other cases, the robots' athletic ability left something to be desired. During soccer matches, child-size ones tripped over each other, falling down one after another. One goalkeeper robot stood calmly as its opponent kicked a ball at its legs several times before finally managing to score. Meanwhile, one robot by China's Unitree Robotics ran into a human staff member while running fast during a track event, knocking him down. Switching to kickboxing matches, robots wearing colorful gloves and head protection struggled to land hits. "To be honest, the hit rate is a little low," a commentator said in the event's official live-stream. “They're hitting the air." After a few minutes of wild arm and leg movements, one robot was declared the winner. It raised its gloved hands in the air to the sound of the audience applauding, while its opponent lay down in an apparent show of defeat. The event has caused reflections and voices from different fields. Ken Goldberg, a robotics professor at the University of California, Berkeley, said, “Despite the funny falls, significant progress in robot movement and balance is being achieved.” Some business people believe that human-like robots will one day do many physical tasks now handled by people, including housework and factory labor, yet for now, even simple tasks like loading the dishwasher are anything but simple for them. Alan Fern, a robotics professor at Oregon State University, added that the Humanoid Robot Games helped to "give the public a realistic impression of where things really are." 24. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A. By quoting experts. B. By giving examples. C. By analyzing causes. D. By making comparisons. 25. What can we infer about the robot soccer match? A. Goals were scored easily. B. Matches were full of errors. C. Goalkeepers performed well. D. Attacking robots played skillfully. 26. What does paragraph 4 focus on? A. Future robot work prospects. B. Diverse perspectives on robots. C. Robot competition outcomes. D. Advancements in robot movement. 27. What might Alan Fern agree with? A. Robots are useless now. B. The Games mislead the public. C. The Games reflect robot reality. D. Robots will never replace humans. C In some Chinese companies, there has recently emerged a trend to change long working hour culture, with topics of DJI and home appliance giant Midea Group forcing their employees to clock off on time trending on China's social media platforms. DJI reportedly launched a campaign on February 27 to mandate their employees to leave the office at 9 p.m.. Managers and human resource specialists at the company headquarters（总部）in Shenzhen，South China's Guangdong Province, would urge the staffers to leave the office as soon as the clock sounds the 9 o'clock, while the company's Shanghai branch would go to extremes to turn the lights out in the entire office, the Securities Times reported on Sunday. An employee named Cai Min working at the R&D department based at the company's Shenzhen headquarters said he used to clock off at 11 p.m. or midnight but recently he found that almost all the one hundred plus workers on the same floor leave work by around 9:10 p.m., according to The Economic Observer. The company did not give a specific comment on this matter in response to an inquiry from the Global Times on Monday, while confirming the positive momentum（势头）of the change. Meanwhile, topics about the home appliance giant Midea Group mandating its employees to clock off at 6:20 p.m. also trended on China's platform Sina Weibo on Monday and caused heated discussions. The company replied to the media inquiry that the company established six strict regulations at the beginning of this year to simplify work procedures, including a ban on meetings after work and unnecessary overtime driven by formalism, according to the media Economic View. The official Weibo account of Midea Group responded to the trending topic, replying at the comment section that “the editor of the company's account remained silent in smile while simply browsing（翻阅）through the trending topic. "Other Weibo accounts of different home appliances such as refrigerator related to the company also confirmed that the employees of the company "really do not work overtime." It is noticed that since the beginning of this year, voices against the rat race（内卷） have been growing. The government work report during this year's two sessions said China will take comprehensive steps to address rat race competition to develop a good national market. 28. What did DJI Shenzhen's managers and HR do? A. Check if staff left. B. Fine overtime staff. C. Urge staff to leave at 9 p.m.. D. Turn off office lights at 9 p.m.. 29.Why did the author cite Cai Min's words? A. To prove DJI's effort in changing work culture. B. To prove DJI's strict management on employees. C. To illustrate the effectiveness of DJT's new policy. D. To show Cai Min's satisfaction with the new policy. 30. What can we infer from Midea Group's response to the media? A. It is serious about reducing overtime. B. It is unsatisfied with the new regulations. C. It will continue to make more new rules. D. It hopes to attract more talented employees. 31. What's the future of the rat race according to the article? A. It may decline through a series of measures. B. Economic pressures will make it more serious. C. It will exist due to unchanged work environment. D. Employees will self-regulate to escape its effects. D BECK'S, a well-known German brewery（啤酒厂）, celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2023，bringing in a new brewmaster: ChatGPT, an artificial-intelligence(AI) chatbot. This led to the creation of “Beck's Autonomous”, a totally machine-made beer. One Daily Mail reporter considered it better than the brewery's standard lager（拉格啤酒）. Beer and AI may seem an unlikely pairing, but Beck's is far from the only brand using AI for beers. Atwater Brewery, an American firm, introduced an AI-designed India pale ale(IPA) in 2023. In March Coedo Brewery in Japan used AI to analyse the preferences of people in their 20s to 50s, and then developed four craft beers, one for each age range. According to brewers, most customers have responded positively. Someone says, “It gives us access to new recipes that we didn't think about before." Machine-learning tools can analyse the small details of complex flavors, assess an individual brewery's available ingredients and equipment, and then make new recipes while adjusting sweetness, hop level and other features to ensure the end product appeals to picky customers. Beau Warren, the boss of the Species X Beer Project brewery, knows this firsthand. From 2022 to 2024, he learnt to guide the brewing process with AI and finally created a new lager with a recipe never thought of, which won strong approval from customers. It's a pity that the AI beers at Species X are no more: the brewery closed down last autumn owing to financial difficulties. Scientists are also intrigued about what robots might tell them about the chemistry of beer. In 2024researchers analysed the chemical makeup of 250 Belgian beers. They then trained machine-learning algorithms（计算程序）to model the effects of adding or removing different aroma compounds（香气化合物）on the taste. "The models we develop help us understand the complex relationship between the chemistry of a beer, its taste, and how consumers will like it," says Kevin Verstrepen, who led the research team. Of course, it will take more than a chatbot to replace a human brewer. Ingredients must be poured, brew kettles must be tended and the beers must be tasted-whether they were made totally by human hands, or brewed, at least in part, by robots.“AI will become more and more part of the brewing process, but the brewing itself, the craft, is still the emphasis," says a professional. “It will be difficult to have machines make our beers.” 32. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To talk about Beck's Autonomous beer's sales. B. To explain all of Beck's 150th anniversary activities. C. To bring up the topic of AI used in beer brewing. D. To prove ChatGPT is better than human brewmasters. 33. According to the passage, what is the benefit of AI application in beer brewing? A. It can greatly reduce labor costs. B. It can simplify the production process. C. It can produce ingredients brewers have never seen. D. It can develop recipes brewers might not have thought of. 34. What does the underlined word "intrigued" in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. adorable. B. curious. C. delighted. D. relieved 35. Which of the following best summarizes the passage? A. Different beer brands around the world are competing to use AI. B. Scientists have uncovered the mystery of beer's taste through AI. C. Many famous beer brands now use AI to polish their beer recipes. D.AI is applied in beer brewing but can't replace human craftsmanship. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Your job choices are closely connected with different parts of your life. Every decision about your career, like studying for your ideal job, moving to a new place for a job, or changing your work direction, has wide-ranging effects on other life decisions. 36___ Financial Effects: Balancing Costs and Incomes Job choices can greatly affect your money. You need to think about the costs of the college course for the job you want. For students who study full-time, the little time they have to make money is a problem. This financial limit shows why it's important to carefully consider career choices, not just about future pay but also current money needs. 37 Also, different jobs have different pay and benefits, which will affect your long-term financial safety and way of life. Relationship Effects: The Influence on Family and Friends Besides affecting you, career decisions can also have a big impact on your personal relationships. What you choose to do at work affects the people you love a lot. If you're married, for example, big career changes, like changing jobs, can cause problems in your relationship. More studying, changes in income, or strange working hours that often come with career changes can upset family life. 38___ Spiritual Effects: Taking Care of Your Inner Self Your career doesn't just affect your outside life. 39 Since a job takes up much of your daily life, it naturally affects how you feel inside. Jobs with a lot of stress need good ways to deal with stress. On the other hand, working at a job that doesn't make you happy can make you feel sad all the time, and this can affect your personal life. In the end, a satisfying career fits your values and interests, helping you feel like you have a purpose and be happy overall. But a job that's not right for you can make you feel unhappy and tired out. When making job choices, it's crucial to fully examine their far-reaching effects on important aspects of your life. 40 A. It also matters a lot for your mental and emotional health. B. Knowing these influences is very vital for making sound decisions. C. So, studying part-time suits learners who study to pay for school and other costs. D. Effective time management skills can help ease the stress of job-related challenges. E. Sometimes, taking risks in job choices can contribute to unexpected personal growth. F. By carefully balancing these impacts, you can secure a satisfactory and harmonious future. G. Communicate honestly, prioritize family joy in career choices-they impact your shared life. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Twenty-five years ago, Marie and Steve Voorhees had a hay（干草）field and a dream.

The wooden radio, with an old red paint, had been with Grandpa for over 40 years. “It played the first song I danced to with your grandma,” Grandpa often said, gently wiping the radio with a cloth. Lina used to shake her head and roll her eyes at these stories — she preferred her smartphone’s playlists. Last month, Grandpa fell ill and had to stay in the hospital. Before leaving, he handed the radio to Lina. “Take care of it, dear. It’ll remind you I’m always here,” he whispered. Lina nodded, but she placed the radio on a shelf in the attic（阁楼）, where her grandpa often put old things, forgetting about it amid her busy exam preparations. A few days later, a thunderstorm hit their town. The power went out, and Lina’s phone died. Bored and anxious, she wandered around the entire house and spotted the old radio. Curious, she pushed the button, but only a noisy sound came out. Her heart sank — Grandpa’s precious radio was broken. Lina rushed to the repair shop downtown. The shop owner, an elderly man, shook his head. “Parts for this model are impossible to find now,” he said. Lina walked out, feeling helpless. She thought of Grandpa’s smile when he talked about the radio and realized how much it meant to him. That night, Lina sat by the window, staring at the radio. She remembered the times Grandpa had helped her with math problems, even when he was tired. “I can’t let this radio die,” she said firmly. Suddenly, she noticed a small note in the radio’s battery box. Unfolding the note, Lina saw Grandma’s handwriting: “To my love — this radio will play our song even when I’m gone. Love lasts longer than things.” Tears rolled down Lina’s cheeks. She made a decision — she would fix the radio, no matter what. Then, Lina searched the attic for her grandpa’s old things, intending to find something related to the radio. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para1: Under a pile of photo albums, she found a box filled with Grandpa’s old tools and a small bag of radio parts. Para2: When Grandpa returned home several days later, Lina held the radio in her hands. 曾都一中2026届高三英语周考试题20答案及详解 1-5 BAACB 6-10 CBACB 11-15 CBACA 16-20 BABCC 21-23 DAB 24-27 D B B C 28-31 C C A A 32-35 C D B D 36-40 B C G A F 41-45 CBADC 46-50 CADCB 51-55 ADBDA 56. attractions 57.

Last month, I took part in the National English Debating Competition, whose theme was “The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Education”. During the competition, I presented my viewpoints clearly and debated with other competitors passionately. Through this, not only did I improve my English skills but also enhanced my critical thinking ability. This competition has become a highlight of my high school life, making me more confident and passionate about English. I believe it will benefit me a lot in my future studies. Looking forward to hearing about your experiences. Yours, Li Hua 续写: Under a pile of photo albums, she found a box filled with Grandpa’s old tools and a small bag of radio parts. “Grandpa must have kept these parts for the radio!” Lina said excitedly. She spent the whole weekend following the repair guide she found online, connecting wires and adjusting sounds. Whenever she felt frustrated, she read Grandma’s note again. Finally, the radio was fixed. It can play Grandpa’s favourite song again. Lina danced happily, just like Grandpa used to. When Grandpa returned home several days later, Lina held the radio in her hands. As soon as he heard the melody, Grandpa’s eyes lit up. “That’s...that’s our song!” he said, tears streaming down his face. Lina hugged him tightly. “I know it’s not just a radio, Grandpa. It’s your love for Grandma,” she said. From that day on, Lina no longer ignored Grandpa’s stories. She learned that some things — like family love — are far more precious than any new technology. 听力原文： 听力材料 Text 1 W: Excuse me, can I borrow this history book? I need it for my paper. M: Of course. You can keep it for two weeks. If you need more time, you can renew it online. W: Got it, thanks. I’ll remember to return it on time. Text 2 M: Hello, I want to book a table for two this evening. Is there a window seat available? W: Let me check...Yes, we have one. What time will you arrive? M: Around 7 pm. My name is John Smith. Text 3 M: Do you want to go hiking this weekend? The weather forecast said it’ll be sunny. W: Sounds great! But I’m busy on Sunday. What about Saturday morning? M: Saturday morning works for me. Let’s meet at 9 am. Text 4 M: You collected your data through telephone interviews, didn’t you? W: Yes. I realized if I was going to interview the leading musicians, it would only be possible over the phone because they’re so busy. Text 5 M: Did you always plan to become a researcher, professor? W: Actually, no. In fact, I was a professional ballet dancer in my youth. However, my knees were hurt in an accident, which forced me to stop. So I turned to studying art history. Text 6 M: Did you hear that there will be a street parade today in front of our building? W: I saw the news this morning too. We’d better hurry to the airport since heavy traffic is expected all over the city. Should we leave right after the meeting? M: Good idea. Since the flight departure time is 9 in the evening, we should arrive there two hours earlier at the latest. W: We’ll finish the meeting a little over 5, so we can leave at 6. That should give us enough time. M: Alright. Text 7 W: How do you usually get to work? M: I normally take the subway, but recently it has been pretty packed. W: Have you looked into other ways to travel? M: I considered driving, but I’m hesitant because of the high expense. My colleague said he spends more than $ 200 per month on his car, including petrol, cleaning and parking costs. W: Right. Beyond the cost, I’m also conscious about pollution. Maybe we can try walking or cycling to save energy and reduce carbon emission. M: I like the idea, but the whole distance seems too long. W: You could ride to a midpoint and then catch the bus for the rest of the way. M: That sounds great. I’ll try it from next week. And it’s great for staying physically active. A win-win. Text 8 W: What should I do to make the trip to London pleasant? M: Well, you should start planning before you get here. That’s very important. W: Can you give me some information about things to look out for? M: Of course! For the “must-see” sights like the London Eye, Tower of London, and even entry to the Sky Garden, remember to book your tickets online weeks ahead. W: I see. And is London a safe city? M: Yes, it’s safer than many cities. But you should still be careful. Don’t go out alone, especially after midnight. And never carry much cash on you. W: One last thing — Is it an expensive city to visit? M: Yeah, it can be, but most major museums are free. You only need to pay for special exhibitions. Besides, go early in the day or later in the afternoon. This saves you from massively long queues. W: Thank you. That’s very helpful. M: My pleasure. By the way, don’t be afraid to ask questions. People in London are always willing to lend a hand. Text 9 M: Good morning. Stretton Festival ticket office. How can I help you? W: I’ve seen a list of plays that are being performed this week, and I’d like to know which is suitable for my children, and which one my husband and I might go to. M: How old are your children? W: Five and seven. M: What about The Mystery of Muldoon? That’s aimed at children five to ten years old. W: So if I take my children, I can expect them to enjoy it more than I do. M: I think so. If you’d like something for yourself and your husband, you might like to see Fire and Flood. It’s about events that really happened in Stretton two hundred years ago, but children might find it rather frightening. W: Oh, thanks for the reminding. And finally, what about Silly Sailor? M: Great. People of all ages can enjoy it for its simple language and clear narration. In fact, it won an award in the Stretton Drama Festival a couple of months ago. W: That’s impressive! It sounds like a perfect choice for a light and enjoyable family outing. Thanks for all the information. M: You are welcome. Text 10 A team of American researchers announced it had built a robot that can play soccer at a high level. This robot is one of only a few human-like robots that can run. It also can walk and jump on different kinds of surfaces without losing its balance. The robot also can kick a ball and remain standing even when kicked or hit, the team said. In Germany, many companies — large and small — turn to robots to fill jobs as the country is facing a severe labor shortage. It is estimated that about 26, 000 robotic machines were put into use in Germany last year. Experts say increasing robotic operations are a sign that robots have become easier to use, with no special skills required. American researchers even tested a snake-like robotic explorer designed to search for signs of life in hard-to-reach places. The American space agency said the robot is equipped to move in ways that traditional explorer vehicles cannot. In the future, NASA plans to send it to space to search for signs of life in an underground ocean on a planet. C篇【导读】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲的是中国一些企业最近开始改变“加班文化”，不再让员工长时间加班，这个现象在网上引发了很多讨论。 28. 根据第二段中的“...would urge the staffers to leave the office as soon as the clock sounds the 9 o’clock”可知，故C项正确。 29. 第三段作者引人蔡敏(Cai Min)的经历是为了说明大疆(DJI)新政策的实施效果。蔡敏提到过去他通常工作到晚上11点或午夜，但现在几乎所有人都能在晚上9:10左右离开办公室，这表明大疆的新政策确实改变了员工的工作习惯，减少了加班时间。故C项正确。 30. 根据第五段中的“The company replied to the media inquiry that the company established six strict regulations at the beginning of this year to simplify work procedures, including a ban on meetings after work…”可知，美的集团制定了六项严格规定来简化工作流程，包括禁止下班后开会。这些都是美的集团做出的反应，可以推断出美的集团对减少加班是认真的。 31. 根据文章最后一段中的“The government work report during this year’s two sessions said China will take comprehensive steps to address rat race competition to develop a good national market.”可知，近年来全国两会期间的政府工作报告指出，中国将采取综合措施解决“内卷”竞争问题，以培育良好的全国市场。所以内卷的现象是有希望得到缓解的，故A D篇【导读】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲的是传统啤酒酿造靠匠心，如今AI成新助力：多国品牌用AI设计配方、匹配口味。当科技与传统碰撞，啤酒酿造的未来会怎样呢？ 32. 第一段完全没提“啤酒销量”，故A项错；第二段只讲了周年庆中“AI酿酒”这一件事，不是“所有活动”，“all”表述错误，故B项错；原文只说记者觉得AI啤酒比标准款好，没说ChatGPT比人类酿酒师优秀，属于过度推断，故D项错；第一段用BECKS找AI（ChatGPT）酿新啤酒的例子，引出“AI用于啤酒酿造”的核心话题，为后文做铺垫，故C 33. 根据第三段“Someone says, ‘It gives us access to new recipes that we didn’t think about before.’ ”和第四段“finally created a new lager with a recipe never thought of”可知，AI能够提供人类酿酒师未曾想到的新配方。故D项正确。 34. 根据划线词所在句语意“科学家们同样对机器人可能为他们揭示的啤酒化学原理感到______。”及下文语意“科学家训练机器学习算法来模拟添加或去除不同香气化合物对味道的影响。”科学家主动做这些研究，本质是对“啤酒的化学原理”好奇。故划线词表示“好奇的，感兴趣的”。故B项正确。 35. 文章开篇以贝克啤酒用AI酿酒师为例，后续延伸至美、日品牌的AI酿酒实践及科学家借助AI分析啤酒化学成分的研究，最终通过专业人士观点点明核心逻辑—AI可在配方开发、口感分析等环节为酿酒提供支持，但无法替代人类在酿酒工艺中的核心作用。A项仅提及多国品牌用AI，未提到“competing（竞争）”；B项科学家们通过人工智能揭开了啤酒口感的奥秘；C项许多著名的啤酒品牌现在使用人工智能来完善他们的啤酒配方；D项既概括“AI被应用于酿酒”（品牌实践+科研），也点明“AI无法替代人类工艺”的边界，完整覆盖主旨。 七选五【导读】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要阐述工作选择与生活各方面紧密相连，在经济、人际关系和精神层面产生深远影响。因此，在做职业选择时，全面考量这些影响并加以平衡，对拥有幸福和谐的未来至关重要。 36. 【解析】此处为段尾，起到承上启下的作用。“Knowing these influences is very vital for making sound decisions.”这句话中的“these influences”指代上文提到的工作选择对生活各方面的影响，“making sound decisions”引出下文关于如何基于这些影响做出好的决策的具体内容，属于承上启下句。 37. 【解析】此处在“Financial Effects”段落中，前文提到全日制学生赚钱时间少及财务限制，“So, studying part-time suits learners who study to pay school and other costs.”既是前文全日制学生财务问题的解决办法，同时和后文不同工作的财务情况形成过渡，属于承上启下句。38. 【解析】该句子“Relationship Effects”段尾，需要总结职业选择对人际关系影响的应对方法，是对整段内容的概括。“Communicate honestly, prioritize family joy in career choices—they impact your shared life.”总结了在做职业相关决策时要考虑家人幸福及公开沟通，概括了该段落职业选择对家庭关系影响及应对措施。故答案为 G。 39. 【解析】此处在“Spiritual Effects”段落，前文说明此不仅影响外在生活，后文阐述职业对内心感受的影响，也应强调职业对精神层面的重要性，起到承上启下的作用。故答案为 A。 40. 【解析】位于文章结尾，总结了全文关于工作选择影响生活各方面以及要通过平衡这些影响来实现美好未来的核心观点，属于概括句。故答案为 F。 完形填空本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了 Voorhees夫妇从一片干草田起步，经过多年努力，将农场发展为以薰衣草田和羊驼为特色的观光农场的故事。 41.
