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.”
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.

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 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.
8. 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..
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
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 2024, researchers 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.”
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. What does the underlined word “intrigued” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Adorable. B. Curious. C. Delighted. D. Relieved.
15. 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.

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. ____16____
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. ____17____ 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. ____18____
Spiritual Effects: Taking Care of Your Inner Self
Your career doesn’t just affect your outside life. ____19____ 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. ____20____
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.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Every Sunday morning, 17-year-old Lina would wake up to the soft melody (旋律) from her grandpa’s old radio. 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。
Under a pile of photo albums, she found a box filled with Grandpa’s old tools and a small bag of radio parts.

When Grandpa returned home several days later, Lina held the radio in her hands.

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.”
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. 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 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.
8. What did DJI Shenzhen’s managers and HR do?
A. Check if staff left. B. Fine overtime staff.

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.
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 2024, researchers 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.”
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. What does the underlined word “intrigued” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Adorable. B. Curious. C. Delighted. D. Relieved.
15. 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.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。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。由此可知,D项:“人工智能应用于啤酒酿造,但不能取代人类工艺。”能最好的总结文章。故选D。

【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:在中国四川成都——大熊猫的故乡附近,坐落着乐山大佛,它是游客和佛教徒最受欢迎的旅游景点之一。one of+形容词最高级+可数名词复数,表示“最……之一”,所以空处需用名词复数attractions“景点”。故填attractions。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这座石佛于公元8世纪从山体中凿刻而成,是世界上最高的佛像,高71米,比世界上第二高的佛像——阿富汗的巴米扬大佛高8米。本句已有谓语动词is,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词;动词carve与主语the stone Buddha之间是被动关系,所以空处需用过去分词carved作状语,句首首字母需大写。故填Carved。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这座石佛于公元8世纪从山体中凿刻而成,是世界上最高的佛像,高71米,比世界上第二高的佛像——阿富汗的巴米扬大佛高8米。此处表示泛指“一个71米的高度”,height的发音是以辅音音素开头的,所以空处需用不定冠词a。故填a。
【39题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:1996年,它与峨眉山一起被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产。根据时间状语in 1996可知,空处谓语动词需用一般过去时;此处主语是第三人称单数it,与谓语动词list之间是被动关系,所以空处需用一般过去时的被动语态:was/were done,主语是单数it,所以be动词需用was。故填was listed。
【40题详解】

【42题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:他去了很多地方筹集资金,经过多年的全国募捐,他终于筹集到了足够的资金开始建设。and之前的分句已有谓语动词went,所以空处需用非谓语动词;结合句意可知,此处表示目的,所以空处需用动词不定式to raise作目的状语。故填to raise。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这座世界上最大的石佛,经过三代工匠90年的努力才完成,终于诞生了。空处需用关系词引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词stone Buddha,指物,且在从句中作主语,所以空处需用关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:令人惊讶的是,这个古老的工程至今仍然屹立不倒,这也显示了古代中国工匠的智慧。空处需用副词作状语修饰动词standing,firm的副词为firmly“坚定地,牢固地”。故填firmly。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Every Sunday morning, 17-year-old Lina would wake up to the soft melody (旋律) from her grandpa’s old radio. 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;

Under a pile of photo albums, she found a box filled with Grandpa’s old tools and a small bag of radio parts.

When Grandpa returned home several days later, Lina held the radio in her hands.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
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.
