At the Yuanmingyuan Ruins Park, I tried a special tour using VR technology (技术). It was the world’s first VR tour of Yuanmingyuan. Thanks to today’s technology, the tour looks quite real, with everything the size of real ones. It shows what Yuanmingyuan is like through eight units. With light “glasses” on, I stepped into history excitedly, with the stones around me turning into a great palace—the “Garden of Gardens”! I could “walk” through famous Yuanmingyuan scenery like Jiuzhou Qingyan and Guanshuifa. I joined in the immersive (沉浸式地) activity of “Qianlong’s Garden Tour”. Along the way, I saw the cute “Guardian Dragon” and completed fun activities such as collecting “Time Fragments”. This was unlike what other VR experiences could give. I really felt like walking in Yuanmingyuan seeing the beautiful lakes and trees. From some workers there, I knew this project was from Daxiang Merged Media. And it is the opening work of “Chinese Cultural Heritage VR Large Space”. The creative team worked hard on the forty scenes of Yuanmingyuan. After the trip, I knew better about Chinese buildings and culture. To me, it’s not only an interesting VR game but also a meaningful trip. I expected to explore more about these gardens’ history and designs. 31. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The park. B. Today’s technology. C. The tour. D. The unit. 32. Why did the writer feel like visiting a real place? A. Because there were special activities. B. Because everything was the right size. C. Because the stones turned into real palaces. D. Because there were lakes and trees along the way. 33. How did the writer feel about the “Qianlong’s Garden Tour”? A. Boring. B. Disappointed. C. Fun. D. Peaceful. 34. Who made the VR tour? A. Daxiang Merged Media. B. The Yuanmingyuan Ruins Park. C. Chinese Cultural Heritage VR Large-Space. D. The creative team of “Qianlong’s Garden Tour”. 35. What may the writer probably do next? A. Find more VR games to play. B. Visit the real Yuanmingyuan ruins. C. Learn about how VR technology works. D. Get more information about ancient gardens. C Recently, a robot called Mobile ALOHA caught the eye of many people because of a video (视频) on the Internet. There, it was cooking at someone’s home. Scientists at Stanford University developed (开发) the robot and it can do different kinds of housework, like watering plants, petting cats, cleaning the floor, and washing clothes. It even knows how to shake the pillow (抖枕头) after putting it into a pillow cover. Sounds good? Well, the team posted another video and it may let you down. In the video, Mobile ALOHA carelessly breaks the glasses and plates, runs into a table, and even burns (烧坏) a pot. The idea of having a robot as a servant (仆人) may just be wishful thinking. Scientists keep working on this problem. Now the robot can move chairs right 80% of the time. For cooking dishes, it’s only 40%. Mobile ALOHA doesn’t have self-learning abilities. Instead, it learns from people’s actions before doing each piece of housework. When something changes, it can’t work well and may easily end up causing problems. Scientists say that such AI robots can do better in difficult things, such as doing math questions and playing chess. They need more thinking abilities. When it comes to easy housework like cleaning, they face difficulties! “There is always room for improvement,” Stanford team said. “Before robots can do all housework well, let’s enjoy the moments when families roll up their sleeves (卷起袖子) and work together.” 36. According to the text, an AI robot can do better in ________. A. B. C. D. 37. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. Mobile ALOHA has a small body. B. Mobile ALOHA is popular in the market. C. Mobile ALOHA is not yet perfect. D. Mobile ALOHA can do housework well. 38. The underlined words “wishful thinking” probably means something that is ________. A. unlikely to happen B. based on facts C. easy to achieve D. well planned 39. What is the best title for the text? A. Why do AI Robots Act Badly Now B. Do AI Robots Help People Make Videos C. How do AI Robots Finish Difficult Things D. Can AI Robots Be A Good Family Helper 40. The text is written to ________. A show us how AI robots cook B. tell funny stories about a robot C. make us know more about AI robots D. ask more people to learn about AI 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） D 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 All of us know the Chinese character (汉字) “家”. It means home and family in Chinese. ____41____ In the Chinese character “家”, “宀” means “house” and “豕” means “pig”. ____42____ Well, “家” comes from Jiaguwen. In old times, people liked to keep pigs at home, so “a house with pigs” means “home”. ____43____ Look at the two. “There’s no place like home.” “East or west, home is best.” Both of them tell us home is the best place for everyone. Xu Li is a 13-year-old girl from Beijing. She says, “When I’m not happy, I always go home and talk with my parents or my sister. ____44____ For me, home is a place full of love and happiness.” Wang Jun is a 28-year-old man from Hunan. He works in a big city, so he can’t see his family in the countryside often. The best thing for him is to go back home to see his family during holidays. “____45____ I think it’s so warm and comfortable to be at home,” he says. For most people, home is where life begins and love never ends. So what does home mean to you? A. Why is the pig in the house? B. Then do you know about its story? C. They are always ready to listen to me. D. Home is where people’s roots (根) are. E. There are some old sayings about this character. 第三节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） E 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答文后的问题。 A few years ago, many people loved buying blind-box air tickets, and it was very welcome among young people. On common trips, people usually only set out after getting everything ready. However, in the blind-box trips, people would just choose their starting airport and then get a blind-box air ticket. After that, they took their bags and went travelling soon. Cheng, 23, said, “I have to spend more money travelling by myself. And I have no idea where to go. The blind-box trip feels like a game. It’s wonderful to let all the problems go.” Liao, 31, tried it with his cousin. His cousin got a ticket to Changsha, and Liao got one too! Before they left, a friend told them, “Changsha got hot online for no reason. It has nothing special.” But Liao still went there. He saw tall buildings and small old houses on one street. “The city gives me a very different feeling. It’s so cool,” he said. Blind-box trips also helped some less popular places. Dehong in Yunnan used to have few visitors. After it joined the list, many people came, and the small city became lively. However, some people still met some problems. For example, they might get bad flight (航班) times or the flights could be suddenly called off. It was hard for people to receive the refunds (收到退款). Sun Weili from Ctrip said, “Buying travel blind boxes is like opening a gift. Just remember to know about the rules and sign a contract (签合同). And then enjoy the surprises.” 46.
