The voices of the people are like the roar of the ocean. There were more than ninety horses, and yet the start was fair. But the result? Pardon me! The fatal (灾难性的) remembrance overpowers my pen. An effort and some Eau de Portugal, and I shall recover. The first favourite was never heard of, the second favourite was never seen after the distance post, all the ten-to-oners were in the rear (后面), and a dark horse, which had never been thought of, and which the careless St. James had never even observed in the list, rushed past the grand stand in sweeping triumph. The crowd gaped at each other. “Who is it?” “What is it?” “Is it the Duke’s?” “No!” “Is it Lord Exmouth’s?” “No!” “Is it Sir Robert’s?” “No, no, no!” It was a horse that no one knew, a horse that had never been talked of. For a moment there was a dead silence, and then the grand stand roared like a volcano. The Duke of St. James was pale, but he was calm. He stood in the front of the stand, and his glass was at his eye. He had lost fifty thousand pounds! He did not even sigh (叹气). He did not even look at his book. He looked at the horse that had won. It was a beautiful animal, but he had never seen it before. It was a small, thin, wiry creature, with a coat as black as night. It seemed all bone and muscle. It was still fresh, and its eye was like a star. It had won by a head, and that head was the dark horse. St. James turned to his friends. ‘Who is the owner of that horse?’ he asked, with a voice that did not tremble. No one knew. ‘It is a miracle,’ said one. ‘It is a mystery,’ said another. But to the Duke, it was ruin (破产). He had bet everything on the favourites, and the favourites had failed him. The world was at his feet an hour ago, now, he was a man who had lost a fortune in a single race. — Excerpt from The Young Duke (Chapter V) 34．According to the text, what was the unexpected result of the horse race?

D．The Duke felt hopeful because the world was still at his feet. 【答案】34．C 35．C 36．B 37．A 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，节选自《年轻的公爵》第五章，描述了一场赛马比赛的意外结果。原本不被看好的“黑马”意外夺冠，而公爵因将所有赌注押在热门马匹上而损失惨重。文章通过生动的场景描写和人物反应，展现了赛马比赛的戏剧性和不确定性。 34．第二段明确指出：“a dark horse, which had never been thought of... rushed past the grand stand in sweeping triumph”，这直接说明一匹从未被看好的“黑马”意外冲过终点并夺冠。 35．第四段提到：“The Duke of St. James was pale, but he was calm... He did not even sigh. He did not even look at his book”，这表明圣詹姆斯公爵虽然脸色苍白，但表面保持冷静，没有叹气或表现出慌乱。 36．第二段对“a dark horse”的定义是：“which had never been thought of, and which the careless St. James had never even observed in the list”，说明“黑马”指的是一匹从未被预期会赢的马。 37．最后一句“now, he was a man who had lost a fortune in a single race”通过对比前文“The world was at his feet an hour ago”，强调了这场比赛对公爵生活的巨大负面影响，使他从巅峰跌入谷底。 C Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient way of health care in China with a history of thousands of years. It is quite different from modern hospital medicine. TCM focuses on keeping Yin and Yang in balance and making sure the body’s energy runs well. It uses natural methods to help people stay healthy and fight off the illness. One of the most famous parts of TCM is herbs. For example, if we cough, TCM-trained doctors might give us tea made from herbs, which can help our throat feel better. Another part of TCM is acupuncture. Acupuncture uses thin needles (针) that are gently put into our skin. Though it may sound scary, it’s not painful at all. Besides these, TCM also values a balanced lifestyle and healthy eating habits. TCM doctors believe these good habits can help people stay healthy and avoid getting sick. _________. A TCM hospital in Heihe, Heilongjiang Province, has become a popular place for Russian patients. A Russian woman, Yelena, had back problems for years. She felt much better after only two TCM treatments, and she now deeply believes in TCM. To serve the needs of its growing international patients, the hospital now has a medical team of doctors who can speak both Chinese and Russian. Russian patients can make appointments (预约) online with their passports and get medical help during their visit. Besides Russia, other countries also show great interest in TCM. For example, a Canadian college is partnering with a TCM hospital in Sanya to set up a new treatment center. TCM is not only for patients, more and more young people in cities are developing a love for TCM. Some hospitals offer herbal tea to help people lose weight. In Shanghai, TCM ice cream is an unexpected hit with young people. Also, many young people are learning to do exercises like Baduanjin from social media videos to stay fit. TCM comes from the past but also keeps up with the times. Now it has a new look and connects people around the world in modern ways. 38．What can we know about acupuncture from the text? A．It often uses thick needles. B．It can cause a lot of pain. C．It can stop the illness right away. D．It looks scary but it doesn’t hurt at all. 39．Which of the following can be best put into ________ in Paragraph 3? A．The steps of TCM treatment are simple. B．TCM is deeply loved by Chinese people. C．TCM is getting popular around the world. D．More TCM doctors are needed in Heilongjiang. 40．What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A．Young people learn Baduanjin online to treat illness. B．Few young people in Shanghai love TCM ice cream. C．More and more young people are interested in TCM. D．Some young people do acupuncture to lose weight. 41．What is the writing purpose of this text? A．To describe how TCM deals with health problems. B．To tell us the long history of traditional Chinese medicine. C．To explain why TCM is better than modern hospital medicine. D．To introduce TCM and its growing influence around the world. 【答案】38．D 39．C 40．C 41．D 【解析】本文主要介绍了中医的核心理念、主要疗法，以及它在国际上和年轻人中日益增长的影响力。 38．第二段介绍了针灸的信息“Acupuncture uses thin needles … Though it may sound scary, it’s not painful at all.”，D选项表述和文中一致，“isn’t painful at all”等同于“doesn’t hurt at all”。 39．第三段句子“A TCM hospital in Heihe, Heilongjiang Province, has become a popular place for Russian patients. …”，“Besides Russia, other countries also show great interest in TCM. For example, a Canadian college is partnering …”主要介绍了俄罗斯患者来中国中医院看病、加拿大机构与中医院合作，这些都是中国走向国际、在海外受欢迎的例子。所以横线处需要一个总起句，概括本段主旨。C选项“TCM is getting popular around the world.”概括准确。 40．第四段首句提到“TCM is not only for patients, more and more young people in cities are developing a love for TCM.” ，后面列举了草药茶减肥、中医冰淇淋、学八段锦的例子，C选项“More and more young people are interested in TCM.”概括出了第4段的主要内容。 41． 文章依次主要介绍了中医的定义和核心理念，主要疗法（草药、针灸），在海外流行，受年轻人欢迎，最后总结中医与时俱进，连接世界，D选项“To introduce TCM and its growing influence around the world.”和主旨内容完全匹配。 D Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a common tool in our daily lives. From helping us draw and write to finding answers in seconds, AI is getting smarter every day. With its rapid development, some people worry that AI might one day take over human jobs and even replace (替代) humans in many areas. However, I believe AI will never truly replace humans. Here are several reasons to support this view. First of all, AI doesn’t have feelings. It can generate a beautiful painting in just a few seconds, but it does so without any feeling. It does not experience joy, sadness, or love while creating. Human art, on the other hand, is full of emotion. Only humans can truly express what is in their hearts, and only humans can care for others in a deep and meaningful way. Secondly, humans are naturally creative. We can think in new ways and come up with original (独创的) ideas. AI, by contrast, can only work with the data (数据) it has been given. It learns from what we teach it and cannot produce anything truly new or original. Human imagination allows us to dream, explore, and innovate in ways that machines simply cannot. Third, humans have the ability to tell right from wrong. We make decisions based on values, morals and empathy (价值观、道德和同理心). AI may follow data and logic, but it does not truly understand the importance of its actions. It cannot feel guilty, sympathy, or a sense of justice. In conclusion, AI is a powerful and helpful tool, but it is not a replacement for human beings. It can help us, make us more efficient, and inspire new ideas, but it cannot feel, imagine, or judge like we do. To succeed in the future, we must continue to develop our hearts and minds — qualities that make us unique (独特的) human. 42．What can AI do according to the passage? A．It can feel happy or sad. B．It can think like a human. C．It can tell right from wrong. D．It can help us draw and write. 43．Which of the following would the writer most likely agree with? A．To succeed in the future, we should let AI do everything for us. B．Humans should keep learning and growing their own abilities. C．Creativity is not important in the age of AI. D．AI can teach humans how to be more creative. 44．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．AI can feel joy when it creates art. B．Humans and AI both have the ability to tell right from wrong. C．The writer thinks AI will soon replace humans in most areas. D．AI can only work with the data it has been given. 45．What is the main idea of the passage? A．AI can work by itself without any human data. B．AI is better than humans at being creative. C．Humans should stop using AI because it is dangerous. D．AI is useful, but humans have unique qualities that cannot be replaced. 【答案】42．D 43．B 44．D 45．D 【解析】本文讨论了人工智能（AI）的作用与局限，说明AI是实用工具，但人类的情感、创造力等特质无法被替代。 42．第1段提到“From helping us draw and write to finding answers in seconds”，可知AI能帮助我们画画和写作。 43．最后一段提到“To succeed in the future, we must continue to develop our hearts and minds”，说明作者认为人类应持续学习、提升自身能力。 44．第4段明确“AI can only work with the data it has been given”，可知该表述符合原文。 45．文中提到“AI is a powerful and helpful tool, but it is not a replacement for human beings”，同时指出人类拥有“feel, imagine, or judge”等独特特质，全文核心是：AI是有用的，但人类的独特品质无法被替代。 四、词汇运用(共10小题；每小题1分，计10分) 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。(每空一词) 46．Over the years, Xu suffered great ________ because of the four operations on the knees.(疼痛) 【答案】pain 【解析】句意：这些年来，徐因为膝盖的四次手术承受了巨大的疼痛。根据中文提示“疼痛”以及形容词great修饰名词的用法可知，此处应用名词pain表示“疼痛”，符合语境。故填pain。 47．You can’t be too careful, and you must learn to guard _________ any possible danger.(抵抗) 【答案】against 【解析】句意：你再小心也不为过，必须学会防范任何可能出现的危险。根据“You can’t be too careful, and you must learn to guard…any possible danger.”以及汉语提示可知，此处表示“抵抗、防范”，guard against“防范；抵抗”。故填against。 48．—David, whatever you do, do it a hundred per cent. Then you will have nothing to ________ .(遗憾) —OK, Dad. I will try my best to do so. 【答案】regret 【解析】句意：——戴维，无论你做什么，都要百分之百地去做。这样你就没有什么可遗憾的了。——好的，爸爸。我会尽力这样做的。根据汉语提示可知，“遗憾”译为regret，为动词；have nothing to do为固定搭配，意为“无事可做”。故填regret。 49．All of a ________ , the lights went out and the room got completely dark.(突然) 【答案】sudden 【解析】句意：突然，灯熄灭了，房间变得一片漆黑。根据中文提示可知，“突然”的英文表达是sudden，all of a sudden意为 “突然”，固定短语，此处表示“突然，灯熄灭了”，故填sudden。 50．The Yingge dancers are ________ of showing this wonderful art form to the tourists.(自豪) 【答案】proud 【解析】句意：英歌舞舞者们为向游客展示这种精彩的艺术形式而自豪。句子主语是“The Yingge dancers”，谓语动词是“are”，需要形容词短语作表语。“自豪”对应的英文是“proud”，固定搭配“be proud of”表示“对……感到自豪”，符合句意。故填proud。 51．I prefer ________ food by myself to buying food in a restaurant.(cook) 【答案】cooking 【解析】句意：我宁愿自己做饭，也不愿在餐馆买食物。prefer doing A to doing B​为固定搭配，意思是“比起做B这件事，更喜欢做A这件事” ，因此A和B都必须是动名词。题干中的B为buying已经是动名词，括号中给出的动词原形，因此需变换后填cooking。 52．Smiling is a passport to good ___________ .(communicate) 【答案】communication 【解析】句意：微笑是人际交往中获得良好沟通的通行证。空格前是形容词good，形容词的核心功能是修饰名词，因此空格处需要填入提示词的名词形式，动词communicate对应的名词形式是communication。 53．If our plans don’t go ________, it’s OK to feel upset. (smooth) 【答案】smoothly 【解析】句意：如果我们的计划进展不顺利，感到沮丧是可以的。此处修饰动词短语go，应用副词。smooth为形容词，其副词形式为smoothly，意为“顺利地”。 54．I couldn’t sleep because the bed was so _________. (comfortable) 【答案】uncomfortable 【解析】句意：我睡不着，因为床太不舒服了。comfortable“舒服的”，根据“I couldn’t sleep”可知睡不着的原因是床不舒服，应用comfortable的反义词uncomfortable表示“不舒服的”。故填uncomfortable。 55．A touch of ________ hits our hearts when we realize the Bianzhong’s music was lost to the world for centuries.(sad) 【答案】sadness 【解析】句意：当我们意识到编钟的音乐在世界上失传了数个世纪时，一丝悲伤涌上我们的心头。句中a touch of意为“一丝、一点”，其中of是介词，介词后需要接名词作宾语。括号内的sad是形容词，需要将其转换为对应的名词形式sadness（悲伤），符合语法规则与句子语义，故填sadness。 五、阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，计10分) 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题，将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。(每题答案不超过10个词) Chinese Kung Fu, also called Wushu, has a long and rich history. It began thousands of years ago as a way for people to protect themselves and stay healthy. Ancient Chinese soldiers and hunters used Kung Fu skills for fighting and survival. During the Xia and Shang dynasties, Kung Fu started to develop as a martial (军事的) art. Later, in the Zhou Dynasty, soldiers trained in Kung Fu for battle. The famous thinker Confucius (孔子) even encouraged physical exercise, which helped Kung Fu grow. In the Tang Dynasty, Kung Fu became more organized. Monks (僧侣) from the Shaolin Temple practiced Kung Fu to protect themselves and improve meditation (冥想). The Shaolin style is still famous today. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Kung Fu spread across China. Different styles, like Tai Chi and Wing Chun, were created. Kung Fu was not just for fighting—it also became a way to train the mind and body. Today, Chinese Kung Fu is popular worldwide. People practice it for self-protection, exercise, and culture. Movies about Kung Fu, like those starring Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, have made it even more famous. Kung Fu is not just about fighting—it teaches discipline (纪律), respect, and patience. It remains an important part of Chinese history and culture. 56．Who made Kung Fu famous worldwide through movies? 57．Why did Shaolin monks practice Kung Fu? 58．What are the three main purposes of practicing Kung Fu today? 59．How did Confucius influence the development of Kung Fu? 60．Do you want to learn Chinese Kung Fu? Why or why not? 【答案】56．Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. 57．To protect themselves and improve meditation. 58．Self-protection, exercise, and culture. 59．By encouraging physical exercise. 60．Yes, because it can build my body./No, because I'm not interested in it. (答案合理即可) 【解析】本文介绍中国功夫（武术）悠久丰富的历史。 56．根据“Movies about Kung Fu, like those starring Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, have made it even more famous.” 可知，是李小龙和成龙通过电影让功夫闻名世界。故填Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. 57．根据“Monks from the Shaolin Temple practiced Kung Fu to protect themselves and improve meditation.”可知，少林僧人练功夫是为了自卫和提升冥想。故填To protect themselves and improve meditation. 58．根据“People practice it for self-protection, exercise, and culture.”可知，如今人们练功夫主要出于自卫、锻炼和文化这三个目的。故填Self-protection, exercise, and culture. 59．根据“The famous thinker Confucius even encouraged physical exercise, which helped Kung Fu grow.”可知，孔子通过鼓励体育锻炼影响了功夫的发展。故填By encouraging physical exercise. 60．本题答案不唯一，合理正确即可。参考答案Yes, because it can build my body./No, because I’m not interested in it. 六、缺词填空(共10空；每空1分，计10分) 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，完整地写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。(每空一词) When artificial intelligence (AI) makes life easier than ever before, what is the true v 61 of human being? A group of high school students in southern China o 62 their answers, moving millions of people. Yu Yaxuan, a Chinese language teacher at Shenzhen Nanshan Foreign Language School (Group) in Guangdong province, recently collected 54 surveys from her students, each containing only one question: “If you had to choose one Chinese c 63 to prove you’re not AI, what would it be?” The answers surprised Yu and later impressed many people on the internet after a video about the exercise went viral, leading to heated discussion about the meaning of being human. Two students offered seemingly o 64 answers: “urgent” and “slow”. “Robots don’t understand why humans are always in a hurry,” one student wrote. “It takes 30 minutes for a hospital to give back test results, so why do patients check them every few minutes? Humans do not live in purely objective time. Our experience of time is s 65 by emotion.” Another student, surnamed Wu, didn’t agree. “When we think of speed and efficiency, we think of AI, yet humans long to slow down with those they care about,” Wu wrote. “AI is always pursuing speed and correct results, but I wish for humans to walk slowly, speak slowly and grow up slowly. I am willing to spend time on things that make life beautiful.” Other students chose words such as “doubt” and “finite”. “Will AI doubt its creator?” one student asked. Another wrote: “AI is infinite, but e 66 about me is finite—the knowledge I’ve g 67 , the people I’ve met, the stories I’ve heard, my life and my time. AI is valuable because it is infinite, while I am e 68 more precious because I am finite.” Other answers included “courage”, “faith”, “hate”, “r 69 ”, “love” and “hurt”. “What t 70 moves people may not be a single class, but the faint glimmers of humanity that digitalization can’t delete,” Yu said. 【答案】61．(v)alue 62．(o)ffered 63．(c)haracter 64．(o)pposite 65．(s)haped 66．(e)verything 67．(g)ained 68．(e)ven 69．(r)egret 70．(t)ruly 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，文章通过学生们对“用什么证明自己不是AI”的回答，探讨了人类区别于AI的独特价值，如情感、有限性与人性光辉。 61．句意：当人工智能(AI)让生活变得比以往任何时候都更容易的时候，人类的真正价值是什么？文章开篇提出一个核心问题：“what is the true…of human being?”，结合下文和首字母提示，学生们寻找的是人类独有的品质，也就是人类的“价值”。首字母v对应value。 62．句意：中国南方的一群高中生给出了他们的答案，感动了数百万人。分析句子，该句缺谓语。语境提示，该句陈述过去发生的动作，所以时态为一般过去时。空格前“A group of high school students”和空格后“their answers”，结合首字母提示，此处指高中生给出了他们的答案。首字母o对应offered。 63．句意：余雅萱是广东深圳南山外国语学校(集团)的一名语文老师，她最近收集了54份来自学生的调查问卷，每份问卷都只有一个问题:“如果你必须选择一个汉字来证明你不是人工智能，你会选择什么？”Chinese character“汉字”。 64．句意：两个学生给出了看似相反的答案:“急”和“慢”。“urgent”和“slow”是两个含义完全相反的词。因此，这两个答案看起来是相反的。首字母o对应opposite。 65．句意：我们对时间的体验是由情感塑造的。上文“Humans do not live in purely objective time.”提到人类不生活在纯粹的客观时间里。这句话解释原因。首字母s对应shaped，shaped意为“塑造；影响”，符合逻辑。 66．句意：AI是无限的，但我的一切都是有限的——我获得的知识，我遇到的人，我听到的故事，我的生活和我的时间。下文列举了“我学到的知识、遇到的人、听到的故事、我的生命和时间”，这些都是概括性的。everything about me“关于我的一切”，统领下文。 67．句意：AI是无限的，但我的一切都是有限的——我获得的知识，我遇到的人，我听到的故事，我的生活和我的时间。前文“the knowledge I’ve…”，结合首字母提示，该句时态为现在完成时，指我获得的知识。首字母g对应gained。 68．句意：人工智能因为它是无限的而有价值，而我因为我是有限的而更加珍贵。这句话是与前文AI的对比：AI因为它是无限的而有价值，而我因为我是有限的而……更珍贵。首字母e对应even，even用来修饰比较级more precious，加强语气，意为“甚至；更加”符合逻辑。 69．句意：其他答案包括“勇气”、“信念”、“仇恨”、“后悔”、“爱”和“伤害”。上下文中“courage”，“faith”，“hate”，“love”和“hurt”一系列词都是描述人类情感或状态的抽象名词。空格处应填一个同样属于情感范畴的词。首字母r对应regret。 70．句意：“真正打动人的可能不是某一个阶层，而是数字化无法抹去的人性的微弱闪光，”余雅萱说。分析句子“What…moves people may not be a single class”，该句不缺主要成分，空格处需要修饰动词moves。首字母对应truly，truly副词，意为“真正地”，符合语境。 七、书面表达(计30分) A. 句子翻译(共5小题；每小题2分，计10分) 将下列句子译成英语，并将所译句子写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。 71．一些科学家认为移居到火星上是很难的。 ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Some scientists think it is very difficult to move to Mars. 【解析】“一些科学家认为移居到火星上是很难的。”译为Some scientists think it is very difficult to move to Mars。其中“认为做某事是……的”用think it is + adj. + to do sth.表示，it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式；“移居到……”用move to…表示，是固定搭配。 72．如果你坚持尝试，你就很快能够取得进步。 ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】If you keep trying, you will make progress soon. 【解析】根据汉语意思可知，本句为if引导的条件状语从句，需使用“主将从现”。从句：if“如果”，连词，连接从句和主句，位于句首，首字母大写；you“你”，人称代词主格，从句主语；keep trying“坚持尝试”，本句为一般现在时，主语为you，所以keep使用动词原形，根据“keep doing sth.”可知，try需使用动名词trying；主句：you“你”，人称代词主格，主句主语；make progress“取得进步”，动词短语，固定搭配，位于主句，需使用一般将来时will make progress；soon“很快”，时间副词，一般将来时的标志词。故填If you keep trying, you will make progress soon. 73．对青少年来说与他人紧密合作是多么重要啊！ ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】How important it is for teenagers to work closely with others! 【解析】it is+形容词+for sb. to do sth.，表示“对某人来说做某事是……的”；重要的：important；青少年：teenagers；与他人紧密合作：work closely with others，因此“对青少年来说与他人紧密合作是重要的”应译为it is important for teenagers to work closely with others。结合题干可知，句子是感叹句，句式为“how+形容词+主谓+其他”，故填How important it is for teenagers to work closely with others! 74．她已经足够大了，可以自主做出决定。 ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】She is old enough to decide by herself. 【解析】她：she，主语，位于句首，首字母大写；足够大可以做某事：old enough to do sth.；自主做出决定：decide by oneself。时态为一般现在时，陈述一个事实，主语是she，be动词应用is，反身代词用herself。故填She is old enough to decide by herself. 75．遇到困难时，永远不要失去信心。 ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Never lose heart when having difficulty. 【解析】分析所给句子可知，此处应用祈使句。永远不要失去信心never lose heart；遇到困难时when having difficulty，此处省略you are。故填Never lose heart when having difficulty. B. 写作(计20分) 76．随着社交媒体的普及，越来越多中学生开始经营自己的网络账号，分享生活、展示才艺。有人认为这能提升自信、结交朋友，也有人担心过度关注网络形象会影响现实生活。请你以”Should Middle School Students Run Social Media Accounts?” 为题，写一篇英语短文。 提示： (1).

But is it a good idea? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Nowadays, more and more middle school students want to have social media accounts. But is it a good idea? On one hand, social media helps students share their daily life and hobbies. They can also make friends with others who have the same interests. For example, students who love drawing can show their pictures online and get advice from others. On the other hand, there are some problems. Spending too much time on social media may make students less interested in studying. Sometimes, they might see bad information, which is harmful to them. I think students can use social media, but they should be careful. Don’t spend too long on it, and always stay away from bad content. This way, they can enjoy using social media safely. 【解析】[总体分析] ①题材：本文是一篇材料作文； ②时态：时态为“一般现在时”； ③提示：写作要点已给出，考生应不要遗漏“信息提示”中所有要点，适当添加细节，并突出写作要点。 [写作步骤] 第一步，解释中学生运营社交媒体账号的利； 第二步，解释中学生运营社交媒体账号的弊； 第三步，你对中学生运营社交媒体账号的建议。 [亮点词汇] ①spend time on sth.花时间在某事上 ②be harmful to对……有害 ③stay away from远离 [高分句型] ①They can also make friends with others who have the same interests.（who引导的定语从句） ②Spending too much time on social media may make students less interested in studying.（动名词作主语） 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $2026年中考考前预测卷（扬州专用) 英语·答题卡 贴条形码区 注意事项 1.答题前，考生先将自己的姓名，准考证号填写清楚，并认真核 考生禁填： 缺考标记 准条形码上的姓名、准考证号，在规定位置贴好条形码。 违纪标记 ▣ 2.选择题必须用2B铅笔填涂：非选择题必须用0.5m黑色签 以上标志由监考人员用2B铅笔填涂 字笔答题，不得用铅笔或圆珠笔答题：字体工整、笔迹清晰。 3.请按题号顺序在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出区域书写的答 选择题填涂样例： 案无效：在草稿纸、试题卷上答题无效。 正确填涂■ 4. 保持卡面清洁，不要折叠、不要弄破。 错误填涂[1【V1【] 1.A][B][C][D] 6.[A][B][C][D] 11.IA][B][C]ID] 2.[A][B][C][D] 7.[A][B][C][D] 12.[A][B][C][D] 3[AI[B][C][D] 8.[A][B][CI[D] 13.[A1[B][C][D] 4.AJ[B][C][D] 9.[A][B][CJ[D] 14.[A][B][CJ[D] 5.IA][B][C][D] 10.[A][B][C][D] 15.[A][B][C][D] 16.[A][B][C]ID] 21[A][B][C][D] 26.[A1[B][C][D] 17.[AI[B][C][D] 22.[A][B][C][D] 27.[AI[B][C][D] 18.[A][B][C][D] 23.[A][B][C][D] 28.[A][B][C][D] 19.[A][B][C][D] 24.[A][B][C][D] 29.[A1[B][C][D] 20.[A][B][CJ[D] 25.[A][B][C][DJ 30.[A1[B][C][D] 日 31.[A][B][CJ[D] 36.[A][B][C][D] 41.[A][B][C][D] 32.[A][B][C][D] 37.IA][B][C][D] 42.[A][B][C]ID] 33.[AJ[B][C][D] 38.[A][B][C]ID] 43.[A][B][C][D] 34.[A][B][C][D] 39.[A][B][C][D] 44.[A1[B][C1[D] 35.[A][B][C][D] 40.[A][B][C][D] 45.[A][B][C][D] 1/2 ■■■■ 非选择题（请在各试题的答题区内作答） 四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 46. 47. 48 49. 50. 51 52. 53. 54 55 五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分） 56. 57. 58 59. 60 六、缺词填空（共10空；每空1分，计10分） 61. 62 63. 64. 65 66. 67 68. 69 70. 七、书面表达（计30分） A.句子翻译（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分） 71 72 74 75 写作（计20分） Nowadays,more and more middle school students want to have social media accounts.But is it a good idea? 三 2/2………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校：______________姓名：_____________班级：_______________考号：______________________ 2026年中考考前预测卷（扬州专用） 英语 （满分120分，考试时间100分钟） 注意事项： 考生在答题前请认真阅读本注意事项及各题答题要求： 1. 本试卷共8页，包含选择题(第1题~第45题，共45题)、非选择题(第46题~第76题，共31题)两部分。本卷满分120分，考试时间为100分钟。考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 2. 答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用0. 5毫米黑色墨水的签字笔填写在试卷及答题卡的规定位置，在试卷第一面的右下角填写好座位号。 3. 请认真核对监考员在答题卡上所粘贴的条形码上的姓名、准考证号与本人是否相符。 4. 答选择题，必须用2B铅笔将答题卡上对应选项的方框涂满、涂黑；如需改动，请用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案。答非选择题，必须用0. 5毫米黑色墨水的签字笔在答题卡上的指定位置作答，在其他位置作答一律无效。 一、单项选择(共15小题；每小题1分，计15分) 在下列各题A、B、C、D四个选项中选择一个能填入题干空白处的最佳答案。 1．The Chinese Herbal Medicine Club helps students explore the world of Chinese herbs (草药) ________ hands-on activities.

Started in 1993, the International Panda Festival is a celebration of giant pandas. It takes place on Sept. 22 every year. Giant pandas are loved around the world for their cute faces and playful nature. Today, new technology is helping protect them and give them better care. Here are some cool examples. Checking with an appCan you tell pandas Hua Hua, Meng Lan, and Fu Bao apart? A special app can! You just upload a photo. The app looks at the panda’s eyes, ears, mouth and the black-and-white face markings. It also checks their body shape and the way they move. This is even harder than recognizing people’s faces! Giving wild pandas an IDScientists collect panda droppings (粪便) to get DNA from them. The DNA shows whether the panda is male or female, where it lives and how many pandas there are. With this, each wild panda gets its own “passport”. Real-time monitoringSpecial solar-powered (太阳能的) cameras and 5G can watch pandas day and night.

The voices of the people are like the roar of the ocean. There were more than ninety horses, and yet the start was fair. But the result? Pardon me! The fatal (灾难性的) remembrance overpowers my pen. An effort and some Eau de Portugal, and I shall recover. The first favourite was never heard of, the second favourite was never seen after the distance post, all the ten-to-oners were in the rear (后面), and a dark horse, which had never been thought of, and which the careless St. James had never even observed in the list, rushed past the grand stand in sweeping triumph. The crowd gaped at each other. “Who is it?” “What is it?” “Is it the Duke’s?” “No!” “Is it Lord Exmouth’s?” “No!” “Is it Sir Robert’s?” “No, no, no!” It was a horse that no one knew, a horse that had never been talked of. For a moment there was a dead silence, and then the grand stand roared like a volcano. The Duke of St. James was pale, but he was calm. He stood in the front of the stand, and his glass was at his eye. He had lost fifty thousand pounds! He did not even sigh (叹气). He did not even look at his book. He looked at the horse that had won. It was a beautiful animal, but he had never seen it before. It was a small, thin, wiry creature, with a coat as black as night. It seemed all bone and muscle. It was still fresh, and its eye was like a star. It had won by a head, and that head was the dark horse. St. James turned to his friends. ‘Who is the owner of that horse?’ he asked, with a voice that did not tremble. No one knew. ‘It is a miracle,’ said one. ‘It is a mystery,’ said another. But to the Duke, it was ruin (破产). He had bet everything on the favourites, and the favourites had failed him. The world was at his feet an hour ago, now, he was a man who had lost a fortune in a single race. — Excerpt from The Young Duke (Chapter V) 34．According to the text, what was the unexpected result of the horse race?

B．He was so excited that he couldn’t stop trembling. C．He remained calm and controlled on the outside. D．He cried sadly because of the heavy loss. 36．The phrase “a dark horse” in the second paragraph refers to a horse that ______. A．has a coat as black as night B．no one expected to win C．is the most expensive one in the list D．belongs to a very famous owner 37．What can we infer from the last sentence “now, he was a man who had lost a fortune in a single race”?

D．The Duke felt hopeful because the world was still at his feet. C Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient way of health care in China with a history of thousands of years. It is quite different from modern hospital medicine. TCM focuses on keeping Yin and Yang in balance and making sure the body’s energy runs well. It uses natural methods to help people stay healthy and fight off the illness. One of the most famous parts of TCM is herbs. For example, if we cough, TCM-trained doctors might give us tea made from herbs, which can help our throat feel better. Another part of TCM is acupuncture. Acupuncture uses thin needles (针) that are gently put into our skin. Though it may sound scary, it’s not painful at all. Besides these, TCM also values a balanced lifestyle and healthy eating habits. TCM doctors believe these good habits can help people stay healthy and avoid getting sick. _________. A TCM hospital in Heihe, Heilongjiang Province, has become a popular place for Russian patients. A Russian woman, Yelena, had back problems for years. She felt much better after only two TCM treatments, and she now deeply believes in TCM. To serve the needs of its growing international patients, the hospital now has a medical team of doctors who can speak both Chinese and Russian. Russian patients can make appointments (预约) online with their passports and get medical help during their visit. Besides Russia, other countries also show great interest in TCM. For example, a Canadian college is partnering with a TCM hospital in Sanya to set up a new treatment center. TCM is not only for patients, more and more young people in cities are developing a love for TCM. Some hospitals offer herbal tea to help people lose weight. In Shanghai, TCM ice cream is an unexpected hit with young people. Also, many young people are learning to do exercises like Baduanjin from social media videos to stay fit. TCM comes from the past but also keeps up with the times. Now it has a new look and connects people around the world in modern ways. 38．What can we know about acupuncture from the text? A．It often uses thick needles. B．It can cause a lot of pain. C．It can stop the illness right away. D．It looks scary but it doesn’t hurt at all. 39．Which of the following can be best put into ________ in Paragraph 3? A．The steps of TCM treatment are simple. B．TCM is deeply loved by Chinese people. C．TCM is getting popular around the world. D．More TCM doctors are needed in Heilongjiang. 40．What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A．Young people learn Baduanjin online to treat illness. B．Few young people in Shanghai love TCM ice cream. C．More and more young people are interested in TCM. D．Some young people do acupuncture to lose weight. 41．What is the writing purpose of this text? A．To describe how TCM deals with health problems. B．To tell us the long history of traditional Chinese medicine. C．To explain why TCM is better than modern hospital medicine. D．To introduce TCM and its growing influence around the world. D Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a common tool in our daily lives. From helping us draw and write to finding answers in seconds, AI is getting smarter every day. With its rapid development, some people worry that AI might one day take over human jobs and even replace (替代) humans in many areas. However, I believe AI will never truly replace humans. Here are several reasons to support this view. First of all, AI doesn’t have feelings. It can generate a beautiful painting in just a few seconds, but it does so without any feeling. It does not experience joy, sadness, or love while creating. Human art, on the other hand, is full of emotion. Only humans can truly express what is in their hearts, and only humans can care for others in a deep and meaningful way. Secondly, humans are naturally creative. We can think in new ways and come up with original (独创的) ideas. AI, by contrast, can only work with the data (数据) it has been given. It learns from what we teach it and cannot produce anything truly new or original. Human imagination allows us to dream, explore, and innovate in ways that machines simply cannot. Third, humans have the ability to tell right from wrong. We make decisions based on values, morals and empathy (价值观、道德和同理心). AI may follow data and logic, but it does not truly understand the importance of its actions. It cannot feel guilty, sympathy, or a sense of justice. In conclusion, AI is a powerful and helpful tool, but it is not a replacement for human beings. It can help us, make us more efficient, and inspire new ideas, but it cannot feel, imagine, or judge like we do. To succeed in the future, we must continue to develop our hearts and minds — qualities that make us unique (独特的) human. 42．What can AI do according to the passage? A．It can feel happy or sad. B．It can think like a human. C．It can tell right from wrong. D．It can help us draw and write. 43．Which of the following would the writer most likely agree with? A．To succeed in the future, we should let AI do everything for us. B．Humans should keep learning and growing their own abilities. C．Creativity is not important in the age of AI. D．AI can teach humans how to be more creative. 44．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．AI can feel joy when it creates art. B．Humans and AI both have the ability to tell right from wrong. C．The writer thinks AI will soon replace humans in most areas. D．AI can only work with the data it has been given. 45．What is the main idea of the passage? A．AI can work by itself without any human data. B．AI is better than humans at being creative. C．Humans should stop using AI because it is dangerous. D．AI is useful, but humans have unique qualities that cannot be replaced. 四、词汇运用(共10小题；每小题1分，计10分) 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。(每空一词) 46．Over the years, Xu suffered great ________ because of the four operations on the knees.(疼痛) 47．You can’t be too careful, and you must learn to guard _________ any possible danger.(抵抗) 48．—David, whatever you do, do it a hundred per cent.

It began thousands of years ago as a way for people to protect themselves and stay healthy. Ancient Chinese soldiers and hunters used Kung Fu skills for fighting and survival. During the Xia and Shang dynasties, Kung Fu started to develop as a martial (军事的) art. Later, in the Zhou Dynasty, soldiers trained in Kung Fu for battle. The famous thinker Confucius (孔子) even encouraged physical exercise, which helped Kung Fu grow. In the Tang Dynasty, Kung Fu became more organized. Monks (僧侣) from the Shaolin Temple practiced Kung Fu to protect themselves and improve meditation (冥想). The Shaolin style is still famous today. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Kung Fu spread across China. Different styles, like Tai Chi and Wing Chun, were created. Kung Fu was not just for fighting—it also became a way to train the mind and body. Today, Chinese Kung Fu is popular worldwide. People practice it for self-protection, exercise, and culture. Movies about Kung Fu, like those starring Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, have made it even more famous. Kung Fu is not just about fighting—it teaches discipline (纪律), respect, and patience. It remains an important part of Chinese history and culture. 56．Who made Kung Fu famous worldwide through movies? 57．Why did Shaolin monks practice Kung Fu? 58．What are the three main purposes of practicing Kung Fu today? 59．How did Confucius influence the development of Kung Fu? 60．Do you want to learn Chinese Kung Fu?

A group of high school students in southern China o 62 their answers, moving millions of people. Yu Yaxuan, a Chinese language teacher at Shenzhen Nanshan Foreign Language School (Group) in Guangdong province, recently collected 54 surveys from her students, each containing only one question: “If you had to choose one Chinese c 63 to prove you’re not AI, what would it be?” The answers surprised Yu and later impressed many people on the internet after a video about the exercise went viral, leading to heated discussion about the meaning of being human. Two students offered seemingly o 64 answers: “urgent” and “slow”. “Robots don’t understand why humans are always in a hurry,” one student wrote. “It takes 30 minutes for a hospital to give back test results, so why do patients check them every few minutes? Humans do not live in purely objective time. Our experience of time is s 65 by emotion.” Another student, surnamed Wu, didn’t agree. “When we think of speed and efficiency, we think of AI, yet humans long to slow down with those they care about,” Wu wrote. “AI is always pursuing speed and correct results, but I wish for humans to walk slowly, speak slowly and grow up slowly. I am willing to spend time on things that make life beautiful.” Other students chose words such as “doubt” and “finite”. “Will AI doubt its creator?” one student asked. Another wrote: “AI is infinite, but e 66 about me is finite—the knowledge I’ve g 67 , the people I’ve met, the stories I’ve heard, my life and my time. AI is valuable because it is infinite, while I am e 68 more precious because I am finite.” Other answers included “courage”, “faith”, “hate”, “r 69 ”, “love” and “hurt”. “What t 70 moves people may not be a single class, but the faint glimmers of humanity that digitalization can’t delete,” Yu said. 七、书面表达(计30分) A. 句子翻译(共5小题；每小题2分，计10分) 将下列句子译成英语，并将所译句子写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。 71．一些科学家认为移居到火星上是很难的。 ________________________________________________________________ 72．如果你坚持尝试，你就很快能够取得进步。 ________________________________________________________________ 73．对青少年来说与他人紧密合作是多么重要啊！ ________________________________________________________________ 74．她已经足够大了，可以自主做出决定。 ________________________________________________________________ 75．遇到困难时，永远不要失去信心。 ________________________________________________________________ B. 写作(计20分) 76．随着社交媒体的普及，越来越多中学生开始经营自己的网络账号，分享生活、展示才艺。有人认为这能提升自信、结交朋友，也有人担心过度关注网络形象会影响现实生活。请你以”Should Middle School Students Run Social Media Accounts?” 为题，写一篇英语短文。 提示： (1).

B. 写作(计20分) 【答案】例文 Nowadays, more and more middle school students want to have social media accounts. But is it a good idea? On one hand, social media helps students share their daily life and hobbies. They can also make friends with others who have the same interests. For example, students who love drawing can show their pictures online and get advice from others. On the other hand, there are some problems. Spending too much time on social media may make students less interested in studying. Sometimes, they might see bad information, which is harmful to them. I think students can use social media, but they should be careful. Don’t spend too long on it, and always stay away from bad content. This way, they can enjoy using social media safely. 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年中考考前预测卷（扬州专用） 英语 （满分120分，考试时间100分钟） 注意事项： 考生在答题前请认真阅读本注意事项及各题答题要求： 1. 本试卷共8页，包含选择题(第1题~第45题，共45题)、非选择题(第46题~第76题，共31题)两部分。本卷满分120分，考试时间为100分钟。考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 2. 答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用0. 5毫米黑色墨水的签字笔填写在试卷及答题卡的规定位置，在试卷第一面的右下角填写好座位号。 3. 请认真核对监考员在答题卡上所粘贴的条形码上的姓名、准考证号与本人是否相符。 4. 答选择题，必须用2B铅笔将答题卡上对应选项的方框涂满、涂黑；如需改动，请用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案。答非选择题，必须用0. 5毫米黑色墨水的签字笔在答题卡上的指定位置作答，在其他位置作答一律无效。 一、单项选择(共15小题；每小题1分，计15分) 在下列各题A、B、C、D四个选项中选择一个能填入题干空白处的最佳答案。 1．The Chinese Herbal Medicine Club helps students explore the world of Chinese herbs (草药) ________ hands-on activities.

Started in 1993, the International Panda Festival is a celebration of giant pandas. It takes place on Sept. 22 every year. Giant pandas are loved around the world for their cute faces and playful nature. Today, new technology is helping protect them and give them better care. Here are some cool examples. Checking with an appCan you tell pandas Hua Hua, Meng Lan, and Fu Bao apart? A special app can! You just upload a photo. The app looks at the panda’s eyes, ears, mouth and the black-and-white face markings. It also checks their body shape and the way they move. This is even harder than recognizing people’s faces! Giving wild pandas an IDScientists collect panda droppings (粪便) to get DNA from them. The DNA shows whether the panda is male or female, where it lives and how many pandas there are. With this, each wild panda gets its own “passport”. Real-time monitoringSpecial solar-powered (太阳能的) cameras and 5G can watch pandas day and night. The system sends live video and can also identify (识别) other animals. This helps scientists protect pandas and their forest friends. 31．Why do scientists collect panda droppings?

C．Scientists are trying to protect pandas from dying out. D．New technology is helping to protect and care for giant pandas. B The curtain (帘，幕) rises, the grand stand is crowded. The voices of the people are like the roar of the ocean. There were more than ninety horses, and yet the start was fair. But the result? Pardon me! The fatal (灾难性的) remembrance overpowers my pen. An effort and some Eau de Portugal, and I shall recover. The first favourite was never heard of, the second favourite was never seen after the distance post, all the ten-to-oners were in the rear (后面), and a dark horse, which had never been thought of, and which the careless St. James had never even observed in the list, rushed past the grand stand in sweeping triumph. The crowd gaped at each other. “Who is it?” “What is it?” “Is it the Duke’s?” “No!” “Is it Lord Exmouth’s?” “No!” “Is it Sir Robert’s?” “No, no, no!” It was a horse that no one knew, a horse that had never been talked of. For a moment there was a dead silence, and then the grand stand roared like a volcano. The Duke of St. James was pale, but he was calm. He stood in the front of the stand, and his glass was at his eye. He had lost fifty thousand pounds! He did not even sigh (叹气). He did not even look at his book. He looked at the horse that had won. It was a beautiful animal, but he had never seen it before. It was a small, thin, wiry creature, with a coat as black as night. It seemed all bone and muscle. It was still fresh, and its eye was like a star. It had won by a head, and that head was the dark horse. St. James turned to his friends. ‘Who is the owner of that horse?’ he asked, with a voice that did not tremble. No one knew. ‘It is a miracle,’ said one. ‘It is a mystery,’ said another. But to the Duke, it was ruin (破产). He had bet everything on the favourites, and the favourites had failed him. The world was at his feet an hour ago, now, he was a man who had lost a fortune in a single race. — Excerpt from The Young Duke (Chapter V) 34．According to the text, what was the unexpected result of the horse race?

It is quite different from modern hospital medicine. TCM focuses on keeping Yin and Yang in balance and making sure the body’s energy runs well. It uses natural methods to help people stay healthy and fight off the illness. One of the most famous parts of TCM is herbs. For example, if we cough, TCM-trained doctors might give us tea made from herbs, which can help our throat feel better. Another part of TCM is acupuncture. Acupuncture uses thin needles (针) that are gently put into our skin. Though it may sound scary, it’s not painful at all. Besides these, TCM also values a balanced lifestyle and healthy eating habits. TCM doctors believe these good habits can help people stay healthy and avoid getting sick. _________. A TCM hospital in Heihe, Heilongjiang Province, has become a popular place for Russian patients. A Russian woman, Yelena, had back problems for years. She felt much better after only two TCM treatments, and she now deeply believes in TCM. To serve the needs of its growing international patients, the hospital now has a medical team of doctors who can speak both Chinese and Russian. Russian patients can make appointments (预约) online with their passports and get medical help during their visit. Besides Russia, other countries also show great interest in TCM. For example, a Canadian college is partnering with a TCM hospital in Sanya to set up a new treatment center. TCM is not only for patients, more and more young people in cities are developing a love for TCM. Some hospitals offer herbal tea to help people lose weight. In Shanghai, TCM ice cream is an unexpected hit with young people. Also, many young people are learning to do exercises like Baduanjin from social media videos to stay fit.

From helping us draw and write to finding answers in seconds, AI is getting smarter every day. With its rapid development, some people worry that AI might one day take over human jobs and even replace (替代) humans in many areas. However, I believe AI will never truly replace humans. Here are several reasons to support this view. First of all, AI doesn’t have feelings. It can generate a beautiful painting in just a few seconds, but it does so without any feeling. It does not experience joy, sadness, or love while creating. Human art, on the other hand, is full of emotion. Only humans can truly express what is in their hearts, and only humans can care for others in a deep and meaningful way. Secondly, humans are naturally creative. We can think in new ways and come up with original (独创的) ideas. AI, by contrast, can only work with the data (数据) it has been given. It learns from what we teach it and cannot produce anything truly new or original. Human imagination allows us to dream, explore, and innovate in ways that machines simply cannot. Third, humans have the ability to tell right from wrong. We make decisions based on values, morals and empathy (价值观、道德和同理心). AI may follow data and logic, but it does not truly understand the importance of its actions. It cannot feel guilty, sympathy, or a sense of justice. In conclusion, AI is a powerful and helpful tool, but it is not a replacement for human beings. It can help us, make us more efficient, and inspire new ideas, but it cannot feel, imagine, or judge like we do. To succeed in the future, we must continue to develop our hearts and minds — qualities that make us unique (独特的) human. 42．What can AI do according to the passage? A．It can feel happy or sad. B．It can think like a human. C．It can tell right from wrong. D．It can help us draw and write. 43．Which of the following would the writer most likely agree with? A．To succeed in the future, we should let AI do everything for us. B．Humans should keep learning and growing their own abilities. C．Creativity is not important in the age of AI. D．AI can teach humans how to be more creative. 44．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．AI can feel joy when it creates art. B．Humans and AI both have the ability to tell right from wrong. C．The writer thinks AI will soon replace humans in most areas. D．AI can only work with the data it has been given. 45．What is the main idea of the passage? A．AI can work by itself without any human data. B．AI is better than humans at being creative. C．Humans should stop using AI because it is dangerous. D．AI is useful, but humans have unique qualities that cannot be replaced. 四、词汇运用(共10小题；每小题1分，计10分) 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。(每空一词) 46．Over the years, Xu suffered great ________ because of the four operations on the knees.(疼痛) 47．You can’t be too careful, and you must learn to guard _________ any possible danger.(抵抗) 48．—David, whatever you do, do it a hundred per cent.

It began thousands of years ago as a way for people to protect themselves and stay healthy. Ancient Chinese soldiers and hunters used Kung Fu skills for fighting and survival. During the Xia and Shang dynasties, Kung Fu started to develop as a martial (军事的) art. Later, in the Zhou Dynasty, soldiers trained in Kung Fu for battle. The famous thinker Confucius (孔子) even encouraged physical exercise, which helped Kung Fu grow. In the Tang Dynasty, Kung Fu became more organized. Monks (僧侣) from the Shaolin Temple practiced Kung Fu to protect themselves and improve meditation (冥想). The Shaolin style is still famous today. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Kung Fu spread across China. Different styles, like Tai Chi and Wing Chun, were created. Kung Fu was not just for fighting—it also became a way to train the mind and body. Today, Chinese Kung Fu is popular worldwide. People practice it for self-protection, exercise, and culture. Movies about Kung Fu, like those starring Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, have made it even more famous. Kung Fu is not just about fighting—it teaches discipline (纪律), respect, and patience. It remains an important part of Chinese history and culture. 56．Who made Kung Fu famous worldwide through movies? 57．Why did Shaolin monks practice Kung Fu? 58．What are the three main purposes of practicing Kung Fu today? 59．How did Confucius influence the development of Kung Fu? 60．Do you want to learn Chinese Kung Fu?

A group of high school students in southern China o 62 their answers, moving millions of people. Yu Yaxuan, a Chinese language teacher at Shenzhen Nanshan Foreign Language School (Group) in Guangdong province, recently collected 54 surveys from her students, each containing only one question: “If you had to choose one Chinese c 63 to prove you’re not AI, what would it be?” The answers surprised Yu and later impressed many people on the internet after a video about the exercise went viral, leading to heated discussion about the meaning of being human. Two students offered seemingly o 64 answers: “urgent” and “slow”. “Robots don’t understand why humans are always in a hurry,” one student wrote. “It takes 30 minutes for a hospital to give back test results, so why do patients check them every few minutes? Humans do not live in purely objective time. Our experience of time is s 65 by emotion.” Another student, surnamed Wu, didn’t agree. “When we think of speed and efficiency, we think of AI, yet humans long to slow down with those they care about,” Wu wrote. “AI is always pursuing speed and correct results, but I wish for humans to walk slowly, speak slowly and grow up slowly. I am willing to spend time on things that make life beautiful.” Other students chose words such as “doubt” and “finite”. “Will AI doubt its creator?” one student asked. Another wrote: “AI is infinite, but e 66 about me is finite—the knowledge I’ve g 67 , the people I’ve met, the stories I’ve heard, my life and my time. AI is valuable because it is infinite, while I am e 68 more precious because I am finite.” Other answers included “courage”, “faith”, “hate”, “r 69 ”, “love” and “hurt”. “What t 70 moves people may not be a single class, but the faint glimmers of humanity that digitalization can’t delete,” Yu said. 七、书面表达(计30分) A. 句子翻译(共5小题；每小题2分，计10分) 将下列句子译成英语，并将所译句子写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。 71．一些科学家认为移居到火星上是很难的。 ________________________________________________________________ 72．如果你坚持尝试，你就很快能够取得进步。 ________________________________________________________________ 73．对青少年来说与他人紧密合作是多么重要啊！ ________________________________________________________________ 74．她已经足够大了，可以自主做出决定。 ________________________________________________________________ 75．遇到困难时，永远不要失去信心。 ________________________________________________________________ B. 写作(计20分) 76．随着社交媒体的普及，越来越多中学生开始经营自己的网络账号，分享生活、展示才艺。有人认为这能提升自信、结交朋友，也有人担心过度关注网络形象会影响现实生活。请你以”Should Middle School Students Run Social Media Accounts?” 为题，写一篇英语短文。 提示： (1).
