Reading Comprehension（本题15小题，每小题2分，共30分） Choose the best answer according to the passage you read. (A) In today’s digital age, artificial intelligence (AI) has become an important part of our lives. Among different AI tools, Doubao, Kimi, and DeepSeek are quite popular among students. Let’s take a look at how they are different. Doubao is known for its excellent language-learning assistance (辅助). It can explain grammar points clearly just like a patient English teacher For example, when you can’t understand the usage of the present perfect tense clearly, Doubao can provide many examples and easy-to-understand explanations. It also helps with writing by checking grammar mistakes and giving suggestions to make your writing better. Kimi, on the other hand, pays more attention to creative inspiration. If you are writing a story or a poem for English homework, Kimi can offer interesting ideas and plots. It can analyze (分析) the theme of your work and offer creative elements (元素), which is very useful for students who want to make their writing excellent. DeepSeek is powerful in knowledge-based learning. It has a large number of information in different fields. When you are working on a history project or a science report in English, DeepSeek can quickly provide you with supported information and facts. It can also make the information that is hard to understand easier for you to understand and use in your study. Different tools have different uses. Students can choose an AI tool that is fit for them according to their different learning needs. （ ）21. If you want to know English grammar, which AI tool can you use? A. B. C. D. （ ）22. What do the three AI tools have in common according to this reading material? A. They can create many real learning tools. B.They are very welcomed by students. C.

To show great changes that AI brings to us. C. To encourage students to use the AI tools properly. D. To compare different AI tools in the world. (B) This summer,"picking wild mushrooms on Cangshan Mountain in Dali"has become a hot online trend, attracting a large number of tourists. During the summer holidays, many short videos and photos about"picking mushrooms in Dali"became very popular on platforms like Douyin and Xiaohongshu. These posts showed people picking mushrooms and taking pictures. Some people even charged money (from twenty to two hundred yuan per person and kids who are under 6 years old are free) to guide tourists, providing tools or even helping them cook the mushrooms. On Sunday, the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture government announced,"We will check the area carefully and do not allow any illegal（非法的）activities or mushroom-picking that is harmful to the environment." In Yanghe village, some forests that were once full of plants have been walked on so much that the ground is now bare(光秃秃的). Environmental volunteers and experts say that careless mushroom picking has already damaged the natural ecosystem（生态系统）。 Wang Bin, an environmental volunteer, explained,"When people dig through the ground, the mycelium（菌丝）is exposed to sunlight and dies. Then, it cannot grow back or produce more mushrooms in the future."Experts also say that if the mushrooms' growing environment is destroyed, it could take 5 to 10 years for them to return. Wild mushrooms are very important because they help break down tough materials like lignin（木质素） in dead leaves and branches. They also help other plants and fungi（真菌） grow. Mushrooms are food for insects and small animals. Experts said,"Mushrooms are decomposers. Without them, dead plants in the forest cannot rot（腐烂） easily,and trees may get sick more easily." Now, because low-altitude mushrooms are becoming rare, people are going higher up the mountain. Some even enter restricted nature reserves（保护区）. The government says they will punish illegal activities. （ ）24.How much a family which includes a father ,a mother and a child(5years old) should pay at least if they wanted to pick mushrooms? A.40 yuan B.60 yuan C.300 yuan D.600 yuan （ ）25.From Paragraph 3 we can know the government will _____________. A. take action against illegal mushroom picking B. allow guided tours in the whole area C. encourage tourists to pick mushrooms D. help tourists cook mushrooms （ ）26. What can we infer from what Wang Bin said? A. Mushroom-picking is very safe. B. The ecosystem can recover quickly. C. Digging is harmful to mushroom growth. D. Tourists know how to protect mushrooms. （ ）27.According to the passage 7,"decomposers"can __________. A. eat hard living plants in the forests B. break down dead leaves and branches C. grow in wet areas or under the dead plants D. produce food for insects and small animals (C) Time's up—no more pictures In the age of social media, many people like to take photos at scenic spots and share them on social platforms. However, wanting"the perfect picture"can actually lead to overcrowding, as people tend to stay in one place for too long. To solve this, Huangling scenic spot in Wuyuan, Jiangxi, introduced a new rule in recent days: timed photo-taking. When a queue of tourists accumulates（堆积）,staff members shall allocate（分配）about one minute per person for photo-taking. Similar rules have been introduced in other tourist spots in China. Limiting photo time means less overcrowding and a better travel experience for visitors. We all agree that tourist attractions should be enjoyed fairly by everyone. If some people stay at the best photo spot for too long, it is unfair to others in the queue. One minute may be short, but it is enough to take a good picture and helps cut long lines. This rule is meant to ensure fairness and comfort. However, some tourists argue that what should be a relaxing activity for them now becomes increasingly stressful. For children and the elderly, who may require additional time for taking photos, the rule can even be difficult to follow. These worries show the need for flexibility. Rather than having just one photo spot, tourist attractions could prepare several areas for photo-taking. They could also offer a photo guide to help visitors find good camera angles（角度）.Children, the elderly, or people with disabilities should have more time to take their pictures. The goal is clear: to improve service quality and give visitors a better travel experience. This rule is an important step to better management and a healthier travel culture. Only with fairness and order can people truly enjoy the beauty of travel. （ ）28. Why did Huangling scenic spot introduce the timed photo-taking rule? A. To help tourists take more perfect photos. B. To solve the problem of overcrowding. C. To encourage tourists to share photos online. D. To reduce the workload of staff members. （ ）29. Who may have trouble following the timed photo-taking rule? A. Stressed people. B. Photo lovers. C. Children and the elderly. D. Staff members at the scenic spot. （ ）30. What does the underlined word"flexibility" in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese? A.严格性 B.灵活性 C.公正性 D.安全性 （ ）31. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Timed photo-taking has many problems and causes worries. B. All the scenic spots should prepare best photo spots for tourists. C. Social media makes people care too much about perfect travel photos. D. Timed photo-taking works in improving travel experience, but not perfectly. (D) Early in the morning, Luo Mingliang packs some vegetables into a bamboo basket and leaves his home in Shichuan, a small town in the hills of Chongqing. After two hours and two subway rides, he reaches his stall（货摊）inside Hongtudi Station.This place used to be a bomb shelter（防空洞）from World War II, but now it's one of Chongqing's most unconventional markets. "The tunnels stay cool in summer and warm in winter," Luo says with a smile, standing behind a large wooden box that is already half-empty."I make over 500 yuan a day here, and my vegetables sell out in just an hour." This market is part of Chongqing's"shelter plus"project, which turns old wartime shelters into useful spaces for modern life. In May 2024, the government changed this 700-square-meter shelter into a free market for farmers and small sellers. They added lights, better air flow, and smooth concrete（混凝土）floors, which attracts lots of customers. "Zero fees—no rent, no cleaning costs,"says Zuo Le, who manages the underground market."What was once a forgotten bunker（地堡）is now a busy place for the community." Hongtudi is just one of thousands of bomb shelters built in Chongqing during the war. From 1938 to 1944,Japanese planes bombed the city, so people dug shelters into the rocky hills. By 1942, there were over 1,600shelters, protecting almost everyone in the city. Though the war ended long ago, many of these shelters are still kept well and finding new purposes.Some have been turned into bookstores, museums, gas stations, and even hotpot restaurants. "More than 80 years ago, these shelters protected local people when their lives were in danger,"says Luo Zibai, a tourism expert."Now, they continue to serve the city in new ways, while standing as a lasting reminder for us to value peace." （ ）32. What does the underlined word"unconventional" in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Traditional. B. Expensive. C. Unusual. D. Old. （ ）33.What can we learn about Luo Mingliang's business in the shelter? A. He tries to sell vegetables as early as possible. B. The environment helps him sell his vegetables. C. He makes more money than others in the free market. D. He has to rent the stall at a high price every day. （ ）34.What does Zuo Le mean by saying"What was once a forgotten bunker is now a busy place for the community" A.The bunker is still not used by anyone. B. The community doesn't like the new market. C. The old shelter has become active and useful again. D. The market is busy because of zero fees. （ ）35.What is Luo Zibai's attitude towards the reuse of bomb shelters? A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Uncertain. D. Supportive. Ⅲ.
