B One day in autumn Squire Gordon, my master, went on a trip into town. John, my caretaker, went with him. I pulled the cart (运货马车). The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily. Gordon’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind was then much higher. My master said to John, “I have never been out in such a storm”! Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain. We came to a wooden bridge. It was very nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong. I dare not go forward, and I made a dead stop. “Go on, Beauty,” said my master, and he gave me a touch with the whip (鞭子), but I dare not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward. “There’s something wrong”, sir, said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward. “Come on, Beauty.” But I knew that the bridge was not safe. Just then the man on the other side saw us. “Hey! Halloo! Stop!” he cried. “What’s the matter?” shouted my master. “The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you’ll be into the river.” “Thank you for saving us, Beauty!” said John. He gently turned me round to the right hand road by the river side. It grew darker and darker, stiller and stiller. When we returned home, the Squire told Mrs Gordon, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.” John took me to the stable (马厩). Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of straw! I was glad of it, for I was tired. ——Adapted from Black Beauty 29. What was the weather like when Gordon, John and Beauty left town for home? A. The rain came to a stop. B. There was a heavy storm. C. It was sunny and windy. D. It was cloudy and cool. 30.

We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. C. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward. D. The wind was much higher than before. 32. According to the passage, what is Black Beauty like? A. Careless B. Modest C. Impolite D. Brave C What things are acceptable when you are at the dinner table and what manners are rude? I will tell you some of the most important American table manners. When you sit down to eat, you should place the napkin (餐巾) across your lap. You should never talk with your mouth full and should chew with your mouth closed. If someone asks you a question while you are chewing, you should finish chewing and then swallow the food before answering. You should never drop scraps (残羹剩饭) on the table. Instead, place them on a spare plate. Besides, only put food on someone else’s plate if they ask for it. And if they say they don’t want anything else to eat or drink, then you shouldn’t give them anything else. Never use your knife or fork to point at others because it is rude. In China, I know it’s rude to point with your chopsticks. It’s common practice to place food into friends’ bowls and to put drinks in their glasses even after they have said they don’t want any more. It’s fine to drop the scraps onto the table. Besides, talking while you’re eating is okay. Manners are different all over the world and can even be different in different parts of a country. Have you ever seen foreigners do anything impolite? Is there anything you have done that they might see as impolite? 33. What should you do first when you sit down to eat in America? A. Place the napkin on the lap. B. Clean the plates. C. Take a photo of the food. D. Give thanks. 34. What can we know from the passage? A. American people don’t talk with others at the dinner table. B. It is common to place food into a friend’s bowl in America. C. American people like asking others to eat as much as possible. D. It is rude to point with the tableware in America and in China. 35. What is the structure of the passage?(P-Paragraph) A. B. C. D. 36. What is the best title for the passage? A. Table Manners in America B. How to Behave Well in China C. American and Chinese Table Manners D. Manners All over the World D Many tourism platforms in China have used AI technologies, while some provinces and cities have designed their own AI tourism service platforms with special features. On some popular tourism platforms, tourists can give simple instructions, such as asking about must-visit attractions for a three-day trip to Shanghai. AI usually gives helpful answers within minutes. Mr Liang, CEO of a travel company, said, “AI solves 80％ of users’ questions in minutes, cutting trip-planning time from 9 hours to 6.6 hours.” Guizhou and Shanghai have introduced AI assistants (助手) for travelers. Guizhou’s “Huang Xiao Xi”, a digital guide in traditional clothing, creates travel plans in just a few seconds. “Hu Xiao You”, a smart tourism system used in Shanghai, provides real-time updates on traffic at tourist sites, public transport, nearby shops, and even toilet locations. Museums are also using AI. Wearable smart guides provide guided tours at a lower cost than human guides. They also allow visitors to change the speed of introductions according to their own choice. With new tools like virtual reality (VR, 虚拟现实), augmented reality (AR, 增强现实), and 3D technology, users can “talk” to historical figures, “communicate” with cultural relics, and watch ancient paintings come to life. These high-tech methods break down the distance between visitors and cultural heritage, making ancient history easier to understand and remember. Gan Chunhui, a researcher in Shanghai, believes AI brings new ways of working in tourism. “Instead of taking the place of traditional jobs, China makes use of technology to breathe new life into these roles,” Gan said. “For tourists, this means more personalized and convenient trips that deepen their understanding of Chinese culture. For local communities, AI helps keep valuable heritage alive without changing the natural beauty of historical sites.” 37. How does Paragraph 3 support its main idea? A. By giving examples of AI tools. B. By showing different opinions. C. By discussing difficulties we meet. D. By discussing tourism in different times. 38. What can we learn about AI in museums from the article? A. It makes visiting more expensive. B. It works faster than human guides. C. It provides lively visiting experiences. D. It shows more pictures than real objects. 39. What is Gan Chunhui’s opinion about AI in tourism? A. AI will finally take the place of traditional jobs. B. AI is not helpful for protecting cultural heritage. C. The tourism industry depends too much on AI technology. D. AI brings positive effects to both tourists and local communities. 40. What’s the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce how AI makes tourism smarter in China. B. To talk about the rise of online travel companies. C. To explain how to plan a perfect trip to Shanghai. D. To show why traditional tourism is dying. 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 Reading is a very good habit for students.

One hundred and eight classical Chinese gardens are kept in the city, Nine of them are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Suzhou sits in the Taihu Lake Basin, where natural conditions are perfect for building gardens. The Classical Gardens of Suzhou date back to the Spring and Autumn period. In the Tang dynasty, many famous rich people came to Suzhou to build their own gardens. And those private gardens continued to appear and became popular through the following dynasties. The Taihu Lake Basin has a strange kind of stone, known as the Taihu Lake Stone, which is an excellent material for gardens and yards. Chinese garden designers are good at using space. By using basic things like the Taihu Lake Stone, ponds and pavilions, the designers try to make them look like a painting. The couplets and poems on the Taihu Lake Stone are full of cultural colour, so a number of travellers want to know more about them. In addition, the doors and windows in the gardens are also beautiful. The Classical Gardens of Suzhou can fully show the ancient Chinese spirit of peace between nature and human beings.

I went to a countryside park with my family during the holiday. The air there was fresh. We flew kites on the grass, picked wild flowers and had a picnic by the lake. This trip was really wonderful. It not only helped me stay away from busy studies, but also let me feel the beauty of spring. I felt relaxed and happy, and I learned that spending time outdoors is a great way to grow. I’m looking forward to the next spring holiday already! 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
