One by one, he takes photos of them. When he （14）, he puts them into a box. The alien sees something move and asks, “Is anybody there?” Bill doesn’t answer. The alien （15） the person watching and sees Bill. “Oh, there is someone. Hello!” the alien says. “You can come closer.” “What are you doing?” Bill asks. “I’m （16） flowers,” the alien says. “Flowers? For what?” asks Bill. “I’m going to take them back to my planet,” says the alien. “Aren’t there any flowers on yours?” asks Bill. “No. Our planet hasn’t had flowers for long,” the alien says （17）. “We have too much rubbish, and we cut down too many trees. Now it’s like a desert. Almost no water is left. All of the （18） that grew on our planet are gone.” “That’s terrible,” says Bill. “Is anyone doing anything about it?” “Yes... That’s why I’m here and we want to find plants from other planets. We study them to learn about water. I believe someday water will come back to our planet.” “Wow,” Bill says, “What’s the （19） of your planet?” “It’s called Rozul,” the alien says. “Long ago, it was very beautiful. But if we work hard, Rozul will be （20） again.” And then the alien returns to the UFO.

We are lucky to live in a time when science and technology can help us make our lives easier and rethink the ways to improve our daily lives. Robots in space and in the workplace Some countries are sending robots of different shapes and sizes into space. As technology progresses, this makes sense. Robots don’t need to worry about oxygen to breathe or food to eat and they can be packed full of sensors (传感器) to send data back to the Earth. Robots can take on the more difficult, dangerous and boring jobs. They can also operate more quickly, efficiently and with fewer mistakes too. Smart mirrors that check your health A quick look in the mirror each morning gives you an idea on how you’re feeling and looking to the outside world. In the future the smart mirrors could check you and tell you about health problems. And they can show the information to you on the mirror at once. It might help you prepare. Roads over rivers Space is running out quickly, especially in crowded city spaces. This way shows a future. Roads and living spaces will move out over the waters. When self-driving cars do all the work and are fast enough, journeys across the oceans this way might come to our life. Lab-grown meat Lab-grown meat is a real thing that’s already being worked on. If scientists can grow meat in the lab, it will change the way we live and eat forever. This change can not only ________ the damage meat farming does to the world, but also offer meat that many people could enjoy. 21.What do we know from the sentence "Robots don’t need to worry about oxygen to breathe or food to eat and they can be packed full of sensors to send data back to the Earth."? A. Robots can be sent to any place in space. B. Robots can deal with all the problems in space. C. Robots have more advantages than humans in space. D. Robots have different shapes, sizes and colors. 22.What role will the smart mirror play? A. B. C. D. 23.Where will the self-driving cars run in the future? A. On the roads over the waters. B. On the roads under the waters. C. On the surface of the ocean. D. On the roads across mountains. 24.Which phrase can we use to fill in the "________" of the last paragraph? A. write down B. fall down C. put down D. cut down 25.Whatˈs the main idea of the whole passage? A. New places to live in the future. B. Technology that will change our life. C. New technology to keep us healthy. D. Ways to help us live comfortably. B Aliens have always been full of mysteries. However, people from different parts of the world have alien abduction(绑架) stories to tell. Most of these stories have something in common. For example, most alien abductions are said to have taken place at night and the abducted people are mostly said to experience a medical examination(体检) in a lab. Interestingly, all the abducted people have returned safely to the Earth. Some people consider these stories as rumours, while others believe that they were real. Here are two famous alien abduction stories. One was that of Betty Hill and Barney Hill. On September 19th, 1961, they were driving to Portsmouth, USA, when they saw a bright light in the sky. Soon some aliens came out of a UFO and moved toward them. The aliens soon abducted them. The other famous story was that of Antonio Villas Boas. Antonio Villas Boas was a Brazilian farmer who was working at night on October 16th, 1957, when he saw a UFO with a red light in the night sky. He tried to run away from the object as it seemed to be moving toward him. But he was soon abducted by several aliens. He was taken into the UFO, where a blood examination was performed(执行) on him. When he returned to the Earth, he realized he had been abducted for four hours. 26.According to the first paragraph, most abducted people ____. A. were killed by aliens B. were examined medically C. lost their memories D. made friends with aliens 27.What does the underlined word “rumours in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Untrue news. B. Clever tricks. C. Valuable messages. D. Amazing secrets. 28.What were the Hills doing when they noticed the aliens? A. They were reading at home. B. They were driving on the road. C. They were walking in the park. D. They were working on the farm. 29.How did Antonio Villas Boas feel when he found the alien? A. Excited. B. Bored. C. Interested. D. Afraid. 30.What's the best title for the passage? A. Making Friends with Aliens B. Alien Abductions C. The World Is Full of Mysteries D. Aliens Are Living Around Us C Is there intelligent life on other planets? For years, scientists said “no” or “we don't know”. But today, scientists are changing their minds. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronauts. They believe intelligent life exists somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon make contact(联系)with them. Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life, “say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size-the universe is huge. Tools like the Hubble Telescope have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies, “says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to the Earth.” In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets-like Mars or Earth-in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life. Have beings from space already visited the Earth? “Probably not, “says Shostak. It’s a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other ways, such as through radio signals(信号).In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don't have the right tools receive their messages. But this is changing. We could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other in the near future.” 31.How does the writer start the passage? A. By asking a question. B. By showing a picture. C. By giving some numbers. D. By showing research findings. 32.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The age and size of the Earth. B. Our galaxy-the Milky Way. C. Why there may be intelligent life on other planets. D. The Earth-the only planet with intelligent life. 33.Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past? A. Because there were not any smaller planets. B. Because we didn't have powerful telescopes then. C. Because the astronomers were not interested in the search. D. Because the scientists didn't think it was possible. 34.What does the underlined word“they”in the last paragraph refer to? A. Messages. B. Radio signals. C. Other planets. D. Intelligent beings. 35.What is the best title for this passage? A. The Age of the Universe B. The Size of the Universe C. Intelligent Life on Other Planets D. The Number of Stars in the Universe 第二节 阅读填空(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文及文后的A～E选项，选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项。 Many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on Mars. Here is what life could be like. First, transportation will be much better. There will be no cars that cause air pollution. In 2100, spaceships can travel very fast. （36） Second, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists will be able to find plenty of plants that can grow on Mars. These plants will give us food and air. （37） The gravity on Mars is much weaker than that on Earth. If we try to move about normally, we might easily jump too high and float slowly away into space. So humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier. Life on Mars will be better in many ways. （38） It is possible to live in a large building with many bedrooms. Then, robots will do most of the work, so we have more time for hobbies. We will live a more interesting life. （39） Students can study, do their homework on the computers and take exams online. Students will also have their own online teachers called “e-teachers”. However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on Earth today. （40） Meals will probably be in the shape of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today, which may disappoint many people. Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. A．There will probably be no schools on Mars. B．But there is a problem for us to live on Mars. C．First, people will have more space in the future. D．Food will be very different from what it is today. E．It might take us two or three days to get to Mars from the Earth. 三、项目情境题(读写综合)。(本大题共2大题，共20分) 第一节 信息匹配(本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 下面的材料A~F是六部关于外星人的电影的简介。请根据五个人的需求选择合适的电影。 41 Joe wants to find a movie that can teach his son to be kind to others.

It is certain that AI will have a great influence on education in the next few years. Let's see how. The role of teachers What will the role of teachers be in this robotic classroom of the future? Many teachers worry that AI will take their position. Actually, human teachers will always be needed to manage the classroom environment and encourage students. A large part of education for children is teaching them social-emotional skills. While AI programs have proven they can teach students to read and solve Maths problems, teaching social-emotional skills is more complex(复杂的). That kind of learning needs the human touch that only teachers can provide. Classrooms Certain tasks can be made easier through the use of AI. Grading(评分), for example, can be done quickly and easily by using AI. In the future, some believe AI will even be able to tell if students are having problems with a certain subject based on their facial expressions. AI can also provide a chance of receiving education for those who have hearing problems or are unable to speak the local language. AI outside the classroom AI in education is extending outside the classroom, too. The technology is also being used to help students prepare for tests, such as college entrance exams. It can also help them do their homework. Has your school used AI? Do you think AI is the future of education? 46 How soon will AI have a great influence on education? 47 Why are many teachers worried about the appearance of AI? 48 What is it that only teachers can provide for learning social-emotional skills? 49 How can AI benefit the people with hearing problems? 50 What can AI help students do outside the classroom besides their homework? 四、写作。(本大题共3大题，共30分) 第一节 语篇填词(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文，根据上下文和所给的首字母写出所缺单词。注意使用正确形式，每空限填一词。 Yesterday, my robot friend showed me a new invention.

It could fly around and record everything. “It is u (53)   to worry. The ball is very safe,” said my robot friend. It can move about in all d  (54)   to catch the best moments when we play sport.

Here are two famous alien abduction stories. One was that of Betty Hill and Barney Hill. On September 19th, 1961, they were driving to Portsmouth, USA, when they saw a bright light in the sky. Soon some aliens came out of a UFO and moved toward them. The aliens soon abducted them. The other famous story was that of Antonio Villas Boas. Antonio Villas Boas was a Brazilian farmer who was working at night on October 16th, 1957, when he saw a UFO with a red light in the night sky. He tried to run away from the object as it seemed to be moving toward him. But he was soon abducted by several aliens. He was taken into the UFO, where a blood examination was performed(执行) on him. When he returned to the Earth, he realized he had been abducted for four hours. 26.According to the first paragraph, most abducted people ____. A. were killed by aliens B. were examined medically C. lost their memories D. made friends with aliens 27.What does the underlined word “rumours in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Untrue news. B. Clever tricks. C. Valuable messages. D. Amazing secrets. 28.What were the Hills doing when they noticed the aliens? A. They were reading at home. B. They were driving on the road. C. They were walking in the park. D. They were working on the farm. 29.How did Antonio Villas Boas feel when he found the alien? A. Excited. B. Bored. C. Interested. D. Afraid. 30.What's the best title for the passage? A. Making Friends with Aliens B. Alien Abductions C. The World Is Full of Mysteries D. Aliens Are Living Around Us C Is there intelligent life on other planets? For years, scientists said “no” or “we don't know”. But today, scientists are changing their minds. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronauts. They believe intelligent life exists somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon make contact(联系)with them. Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life, “say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size-the universe is huge. Tools like the Hubble Telescope have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies, “says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to the Earth.” In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes allow scientists to discover smaller planets-like Mars or Earth-in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life. Have beings from space already visited the Earth? “Probably not, “says Shostak. It’s a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other ways, such as through radio signals(信号).In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don't have the right tools receive their messages. But this is changing. We could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other in the near future.” 31.How does the writer start the passage? A. By asking a question. B. By showing a picture. C. By giving some numbers. D. By showing research findings. 32.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The age and size of the Earth. B. Our galaxy-the Milky Way. C. Why there may be intelligent life on other planets. D. The Earth-the only planet with intelligent life. 33.Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past? A. Because there were not any smaller planets. B. Because we didn't have powerful telescopes then. C. Because the astronomers were not interested in the search. D. Because the scientists didn't think it was possible. 34.What does the underlined word“they”in the last paragraph refer to? A. Messages. B. Radio signals. C. Other planets. D. Intelligent beings. 35.What is the best title for this passage? A. The Age of the Universe B. The Size of the Universe C. Intelligent Life on Other Planets D. The Number of Stars in the Universe 第二节 阅读填空(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文及文后的A～E选项，选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项。 Many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on Mars. Here is what life could be like. First, transportation will be much better. There will be no cars that cause air pollution. In 2100, spaceships can travel very fast. （36） Second, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists will be able to find plenty of plants that can grow on Mars. These plants will give us food and air. （37） The gravity on Mars is much weaker than that on Earth. If we try to move about normally, we might easily jump too high and float slowly away into space. So humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier. Life on Mars will be better in many ways. （38） It is possible to live in a large building with many bedrooms. Then, robots will do most of the work, so we have more time for hobbies. We will live a more interesting life. （39） Students can study, do their homework on the computers and take exams online. Students will also have their own online teachers called “e-teachers”. However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on Earth today. （40） Meals will probably be in the shape of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today, which may disappoint many people. Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. A．There will probably be no schools on Mars. B．But there is a problem for us to live on Mars. C．First, people will have more space in the future. D．Food will be very different from what it is today. E．It might take us two or three days to get to Mars from the Earth. 三、项目情境题(读写综合)。(本大题共2大题，共20分) 第一节 信息匹配(本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 下面的材料A~F是六部关于外星人的电影的简介。请根据五个人的需求选择合适的电影。 41 Joe wants to find a movie that can teach his son to be kind to others.

It is certain that AI will have a great influence on education in the next few years. Let's see how. The role of teachers What will the role of teachers be in this robotic classroom of the future? Many teachers worry that AI will take their position. Actually, human teachers will always be needed to manage the classroom environment and encourage students. A large part of education for children is teaching them social-emotional skills. While AI programs have proven they can teach students to read and solve Maths problems, teaching social-emotional skills is more complex(复杂的). That kind of learning needs the human touch that only teachers can provide. Classrooms Certain tasks can be made easier through the use of AI. Grading(评分), for example, can be done quickly and easily by using AI. In the future, some believe AI will even be able to tell if students are having problems with a certain subject based on their facial expressions. AI can also provide a chance of receiving education for those who have hearing problems or are unable to speak the local language. AI outside the classroom AI in education is extending outside the classroom, too. The technology is also being used to help students prepare for tests, such as college entrance exams. It can also help them do their homework. Has your school used AI? Do you think AI is the future of education? 46 How soon will AI have a great influence on education? 47 Why are many teachers worried about the appearance of AI? 48 What is it that only teachers can provide for learning social-emotional skills? 49 How can AI benefit the people with hearing problems? 50 What can AI help students do outside the classroom besides their homework? 四、写作。(本大题共3大题，共30分) 第一节 语篇填词(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文，根据上下文和所给的首字母写出所缺单词。注意使用正确形式，每空限填一词。 Yesterday, my robot friend showed me a new invention.

We are lucky to live in a time when science and technology can help us make our lives easier and rethink the ways to improve our daily lives. Robots in space and in the workplace Some countries are sending robots of different shapes and sizes into space. As technology progresses, this makes sense. Robots don’t need to worry about oxygen to breathe or food to eat and they can be packed full of sensors (传感器) to send data back to the Earth. Robots can take on the more difficult, dangerous and boring jobs. They can also operate more quickly, efficiently and with fewer mistakes too. Smart mirrors that check your health A quick look in the mirror each morning gives you an idea on how you’re feeling and looking to the outside world. In the future the smart mirrors could check you and tell you about health problems. And they can show the information to you on the mirror at once. It might help you prepare. Roads over rivers Space is running out quickly, especially in crowded city spaces. This way shows a future. Roads and living spaces will move out over the waters. When self-driving cars do all the work and are fast enough, journeys across the oceans this way might come to our life. Lab-grown meat Lab-grown meat is a real thing that’s already being worked on. If scientists can grow meat in the lab, it will change the way we live and eat forever. This change can not only ________ the damage meat farming does to the world, but also offer meat that many people could enjoy. 21.What do we know from the sentence "Robots don’t need to worry about oxygen to breathe or food to eat and they can be packed full of sensors to send data back to the Earth."? A. Robots can be sent to any place in space. B. Robots can deal with all the problems in space. C. Robots have more advantages than humans in space. D. Robots have different shapes, sizes and colors. 22.What role will the smart mirror play? A. B. C. D. 23.Where will the self-driving cars run in the future? A. On the roads over the waters. B. On the roads under the waters. C. On the surface of the ocean. D. On the roads across mountains. 24.Which phrase can we use to fill in the "________" of the last paragraph? A. write down B. fall down C. put down D. cut down 25.Whatˈs the main idea of the whole passage? A. New places to live in the future. B. Technology that will change our life. C. New technology to keep us healthy. D. Ways to help us live comfortably. 【答案】21C、22B、23A、24D、25B 【导语】【阅读理解·语篇导读】本文主要介绍了未来科技对我们的生活的影响。 1. 【解析】推理判断题。这句话是说机器人不需要担心呼吸的氧气或吃的食物，它们可以装满传感器并将数据发送回地球。由此可知，在太空中机器人与人类相比有更多优势。 2. 细节理解题。根据第三段介绍可知，智能镜子能检查人们的健康状况并且将信息“告诉”人们，所以它应该充当医生的角色。 3. 细节理解题。根据Roads over rivers和“When self-driving cars do all the work and are fast enough, journeys across the oceans this way might come to our life.”可知选A项。 4. 推理判断题。write down意为“写下；记下”；fall down意为“落下”；put down意为“放下”；cut down意为“减少”。根据设空后的内容可知，此处是在说在实验室里生长的肉类的好处，由the damage可知，这种实验室内生长的肉类会减少动物养殖对世界的危害，所以这里应该用短语cut down。 5. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍的是未来能改变我们的生活的科技。 B Aliens have always been full of mysteries. However, people from different parts of the world have alien abduction(绑架) stories to tell. Most of these stories have something in common. For example, most alien abductions are said to have taken place at night and the abducted people are mostly said to experience a medical examination(体检) in a lab.

Soon some aliens came out of a UFO and moved toward them. The aliens soon abducted them. The other famous story was that of Antonio Villas Boas. Antonio Villas Boas was a Brazilian farmer who was working at night on October 16th, 1957, when he saw a UFO with a red light in the night sky. He tried to run away from the object as it seemed to be moving toward him. But he was soon abducted by several aliens. He was taken into the UFO, where a blood examination was performed(执行) on him. When he returned to the Earth, he realized he had been abducted for four hours. 26.According to the first paragraph, most abducted people ____.

Making Friends with Aliens B. Alien Abductions C. The World Is Full of Mysteries D. Aliens Are Living Around Us 【答案】26 B、27A、28B、29D、30B 【导语】本文围绕外星人绑架展开，介绍了此类事件的共同特点，并列举两则著名的外星人绑架真实传闻，分别介绍当事人的遭遇与经历。 26. B 解析：细节理解题。 根据第一段 “the abducted people are mostly said to experience a medical examination in a lab” 可知，大多数被绑架者都会接受医学体检。 A、C、D 原文无依据，故选 B。 27. A 解析：词义猜测题。 前后句对比：一部分人觉得这些故事是不实传言，另一部分人相信是真事。 rumours 意为 “谣言；不实消息”，与 Untrue news 同义。故选 A。 28. B 解析：细节理解题。 根据第二段 “they were driving to Portsmouth, USA, when they saw a bright light in the sky” 可知，Hill 夫妇发现异常时正在路上开车。故选 B。 29.

However, intelligent beings may contact us in other ways, such as through radio signals(信号).In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don't have the right tools receive their messages. But this is changing. We could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other in the near future.” 31.How does the writer start the passage? A. By asking a question. B. By showing a picture. C. By giving some numbers. D. By showing research findings. 32.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The age and size of the Earth. B. Our galaxy-the Milky Way. C. Why there may be intelligent life on other planets. D. The Earth-the only planet with intelligent life. 33.Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past? A. Because there were not any smaller planets. B. Because we didn't have powerful telescopes then. C. Because the astronomers were not interested in the search. D.

Here is what life could be like. First, transportation will be much better. There will be no cars that cause air pollution. In 2100, spaceships can travel very fast. （36） Second, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists will be able to find plenty of plants that can grow on Mars. These plants will give us food and air. （37） The gravity on Mars is much weaker than that on Earth. If we try to move about normally, we might easily jump too high and float slowly away into space. So humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier. Life on Mars will be better in many ways. （38） It is possible to live in a large building with many bedrooms. Then, robots will do most of the work, so we have more time for hobbies. We will live a more interesting life. （39） Students can study, do their homework on the computers and take exams online. Students will also have their own online teachers called “e-teachers”. However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on Earth today. （40） Meals will probably be in the shape of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today, which may disappoint many people. Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. A．There will probably be no schools on Mars. B．But there is a problem for us to live on Mars. C．First, people will have more space in the future.

It is certain that AI will have a great influence on education in the next few years. Let's see how. The role of teachers What will the role of teachers be in this robotic classroom of the future? Many teachers worry that AI will take their position. Actually, human teachers will always be needed to manage the classroom environment and encourage students. A large part of education for children is teaching them social-emotional skills. While AI programs have proven they can teach students to read and solve Maths problems, teaching social-emotional skills is more complex(复杂的). That kind of learning needs the human touch that only teachers can provide. Classrooms Certain tasks can be made easier through the use of AI. Grading(评分), for example, can be done quickly and easily by using AI. In the future, some believe AI will even be able to tell if students are having problems with a certain subject based on their facial expressions. AI can also provide a chance of receiving education for those who have hearing problems or are unable to speak the local language. AI outside the classroom AI in education is extending outside the classroom, too. The technology is also being used to help students prepare for tests, such as college entrance exams. It can also help them do their homework. Has your school used AI? Do you think AI is the future of education? 46 How soon will AI have a great influence on education? 47 Why are many teachers worried about the appearance of AI? 48 What is it that only teachers can provide for learning social-emotional skills? 49 How can AI benefit the people with hearing problems? 50 What can AI help students do outside the classroom besides their homework? 【答案】46 In the next few years. 47 Because they worry that AI will take their position. 48 The human touch. 49 By providing a chance of receiving education. 50 It can help students prepare for tests. 【导语】本文介绍人工智能（AI）对未来教育的影响，分别从教师角色、课堂应用以及课外辅助三个方面，阐述人工智能的作用与优势，同时说明人类教师不可被替代的原因。 46. 答案：In the next few years. 解析：细节理解题。 根据文章第一段第二句 It is certain that AI will have a great influence on education in the next few years. 可直接找到答案。 47. 答案：Because they worry that AI will take their position. 解析：细节理解题。 根据第二段第二句 Many teachers worry that AI will take their position. 可知老师们担心人工智能会取代自己的岗位。 48. 答案：The human touch. 解析：细节理解题。 根据第二段最后一句 That kind of learning needs the human touch that only teachers can provide. 可知：只有人类教师能提供人文关怀。 49. 答案：By providing a chance of receiving education. 解析：细节理解题。 根据第三段最后一句 AI can also provide a chance of receiving education for those who have hearing problems… 说明 AI 能为听力障碍人群提供受教育的机会。 50. 答案：It can help students prepare for tests. 解析：细节理解题。 根据第四段 The technology is also being used to help students prepare for tests, such as college entrance exams.
