A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了全球能源运输的咽喉——霍尔木兹海峡。 【1题详解】 句意：它是连接波斯湾和印度洋的唯一道路。 根据地理常识，霍尔木兹海峡是波斯湾和印度洋之间的唯一道路。wrong“错误的”和simple“简单的”与道路无关，recent“最近的”逻辑不符。 【2题详解】 句意：它大约150千米长，最窄的地方只有33千米宽。 根据“at its shortest”，可知这里描述的是海峡最窄的地方，形容宽度用wide。high“高的’，thick“厚的”和deep“深的”不符合语境。 【3题详解】 句意：特殊的地理位置让它对全球航运和贸易非常重要。 此处指海峡特殊的地理位置，specially符合语境。surprisingly“令人惊奇地”不符合语境；clearly“清晰地”和nearly“几乎”逻辑不通。 【4题详解】 句意：作为波斯湾运输油气的主要道路，霍尔木兹海峡控制着超过20%的全球石油出口量和很大一部分全球液化天然气出口量。 在地理、经济类文章中，描述某个海峡、港口占全球贸易百分比时，常用control。manages“管理”，一般指管理时间或公司，不能搭配港口；allows“允许”和measures“测量”逻辑不通。 【5题详解】 句意：许多能源通过这里被运输到亚洲国家，包括中国、印度、日本和韩国。 由下文的“including China, India, Japan and South Korea”可知，这些能源主要被运往亚洲国家。 【6题详解】 句意：它也帮助国际集装箱贸易和全球供应链，在世界经济中起重要作用。 下文提到海峡“playing a main role in the world economy”，空白处应意为全球商品供应。condition“条件”不符合语境；safety“安全”和purpose“目的”逻辑不通。 【7题详解】 句意：历史上，霍尔木兹海峡曾经是历史和文化交流的桥梁。 由“for trade and cultural exchange”可知，霍尔木兹海峡是文化和贸易的桥梁。object“物品”，wonder“奇观”逻辑不符；influence“影响”不符合语境，均被排除。 【8题详解】 句意：商人和旅行者数千年前跨越海峡，把西亚和其他地区的文明联系起来。 “its water”是空白处动词的动作承受者，商人和旅行者跨越海峡传递文明。crossed符合语境。passed“传递”，不能与文明搭配，逻辑不通；reached“到达”和traveled“旅行”不符合句意。 【9题详解】 句意：商人和旅行者数千年前跨越海峡，把西亚和其他地区的文明联系到一起。 上文提到商人和旅行者在数千年前跨越海峡，他们的目的是把西亚文明和其他文明联系起来。comparing“比较”，不符合句意；realizing“意识到”和warning“警告”逻辑不符。 【10题详解】 句意：因为越来越多的国家需要能源，它的重要性大幅提升，使它成为世界上最重要的海上运油之路。 由于“more and more countries need energy”越来越多的国家需要能源，霍尔木兹海峡的重要性大幅提升，rises符合语境。drops“下降”和fails“失败”逻辑不通；changes“改变”不符合语境。 【11题详解】 句意：很明显，海峡附近的任何麻烦都会严重影响全球能源安全。 霍尔木兹海峡周边出现任何问题，都会影响全球能源安全，这是清晰可见的事实。unusual“不寻常的”和common“常见的”不符合语境；formal“正式的”逻辑不通。 【12题详解】 句意：如果海峡周围变得危险，许多国家将会面临能源问题。 海峡周边风险上升是文中的假设条件，if引导条件状语从句，主将从现，意为“如果”。Unless“除非”，Until“直到……为止”和Though“虽然”均不符合主从句逻辑关系。 【13题详解】 句意：所以所有国家应该不惜一切代价保证它的安全。 上文提到霍尔木兹海峡的安全对能源安全非常重要，因此众多国家应该不惜代价保证它的安全。at all costs符合语境。bit by bit“逐渐”和all of a sudden“突然”逻辑不通；as a result“因此”，和句中连词语义重复。 【14题详解】 句意：每个国家都应该关心霍尔木兹海峡的和平，因为它对世界发展非常重要。 最后一段明确指出“Today, the Strait of Hormuz still influences global energy safety and economic growth”，霍尔木兹海峡对全球能源安全非常重要，因此每个国家都应该关心它的和平。give up“放弃”不符合语境；deal with“处理”和get across“解释清楚”逻辑不符。 【15题详解】 句意：每个国家都应该关心霍尔木兹海峡的和平，因为它对全世界的发展都非常重要。 上文提到霍尔木兹海峡“playing a main role in the world economy”在世界经济中起着重要作用，因此它对全世界的发展都非常重要。achievement“成就”用词过于片面，世界不止有成就；success“成功”和brightness“光明”逻辑不通。 二、阅读理解（共20小题，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读以下三篇短文，从每小题所给四个选项中，选出一个与短文内容相符的最佳选项。 A Wudang Mountains: China’s Taoist Holy Place (道教圣地) Location Shiyan City, Hubei Province, China Reason to Visit A great place to enjoy beautiful natural landscapes and rich Taoist culture Rating (评级) AAAAA Opening Hours 7:30 a.m.-17:30 p.m., every day Ticket Price 164 yuan per person Special Group Discount (折扣) Half-Price Tickets: Students, kids (ages 6-18), seniors (ages 60-69), etc. Free Tickets: Kids under 6, seniors over 70, reporters, etc. ★The tickets are valid (有效的) for three days.

It is a new kind of AI tool that is very popular in 2026. People also call it “Lobster AI” because its logo is a red lobster. It started a nationwide trend (风潮) called “raising lobsters”—that means using, setting up, and changing the tool. Peter Steinberger, a developer from Austria, created OpenClaw in 2025. It is open-source, which means its code is free for everyone to see and improve. Unlike other AI that only talks, OpenClaw can do real work for you. It can control your computer, send messages, write weekly reports, and even make videos. It acts as a helpful “digital worker”. This change from just talking to doing real work has made people want more compatible devices (设备). Luckily, there are many devices to choose from. For example, Huawei MatePad Pro is a popular Chinese computer. It can work well with OpenClaw. However, fast growth also brings big risks. Wrong settings may lead to online attacks (攻击) and information loss (丢失). Because of these risks, some big international companies have stopped using OpenClaw at work. Besides, people who use it frequently have to keep paying for expensive language model API services. As international media said, OpenClaw shows the quick rise of useful AI tools and can help people work much better. But to make it grow well and last long, we need a balanced way: we must mix technology creation, Internet safety, and cost control together. 26. What is OpenClaw? A. A kind of lobster. B. A popular AI tool. C. A video game. D. A social app. 27. What makes OpenClaw different from other AI according to the passage? A. It is open-source and free for everyone to use. B. It can do real work instead of only talking. C. It works faster than other AI. D. It helps people stop paying for expensive services. 28. The word “compatible” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________. A. popular B. expensive C. well-matched D. modern 29. Why do some international companies stop using OpenClaw? A. Because they are afraid of the security risks that it may bring. B. Because they think OpenClaw is not as helpful as other AI. C. Because they worry about the high costs of language model API services. D. Because they believe OpenClaw is not popular enough among their workers. 30. Which of the structures below matches the passage best? A. B. C. D. 【答案】26. B 27. B 28. C 29. A 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了热门AI工具OpenClaw（又称“龙虾AI”）的定义、特点、优势、存在的风险，以及它的发展前景与需要平衡的问题。 【26题详解】 文章第一段直接提到“It is a new kind of AI tool that is very popular in 2026.”，明确说明OpenClaw是一种热门的AI工具。 【27题详解】 文章第二段提到“Unlike other AI that only talks, OpenClaw can do real work for you.”，直接点出了它和其他AI的核心区别：其他AI只能对话，而它能完成实际工作。 【28题详解】 文章第二段提到“This change from just talking to doing real work has made people want more compatible devices. Luckily, there are many devices to choose from. For example, Huawei MatePad Pro is a popular Chinese computer. It can work well with OpenClaw.”，后文举例说明华为MatePad Pro可以和OpenClaw配合使用，由此推断“compatible”意为“适配的、匹配的”，与选项C“well-matched”意思一致。 【29题详解】 文章第三段提到“Wrong settings may lead to online attacks and information loss. Because of these risks, some big international companies have stopped using OpenClaw at work.”，说明公司停止使用它的原因是担心设置错误带来的网络攻击和信息丢失等安全风险。 【30题详解】 文章结构为：第1段：总起，介绍OpenClaw的基本定义和流行现象；第2段：介绍OpenClaw的优势、功能与适配设备（分述1：优点）；第3段：介绍它带来的风险与问题（分述2：缺点/风险）；第4段：总结其价值并提出未来发展的平衡要求（总结段）。 整体为“总—分（并列两点）—总”结构，与选项D的结构（①总起→②、③并列分述→④总结）完全匹配。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 In a busy world full of study and work stress, many young people are looking for easy ways to calm down. ____31____ This fun activity has become a popular way for Chinese teenagers to relax this spring.

People also call it “Lobster AI” because its logo is a red lobster. It started a nationwide trend (风潮) called “raising lobsters”—that means using, setting up, and changing the tool. Peter Steinberger, a developer from Austria, created OpenClaw in 2025. It is open-source, which means its code is free for everyone to see and improve. Unlike other AI that only talks, OpenClaw can do real work for you. It can control your computer, send messages, write weekly reports, and even make videos. It acts as a helpful “digital worker”. This change from just talking to doing real work has made people want more compatible devices (设备). Luckily, there are many devices to choose from. For example, Huawei MatePad Pro is a popular Chinese computer. It can work well with OpenClaw. However, fast growth also brings big risks. Wrong settings may lead to online attacks (攻击) and information loss (丢失). Because of these risks, some big international companies have stopped using OpenClaw at work. Besides, people who use it frequently have to keep paying for expensive language model API services. As international media said, OpenClaw shows the quick rise of useful AI tools and can help people work much better. But to make it grow well and last long, we need a balanced way: we must mix technology creation, Internet safety, and cost control together. 26. What is OpenClaw? A. A kind of lobster. B. A popular AI tool. C. A video game. D. A social app. 27. What makes OpenClaw different from other AI according to the passage? A. It is open-source and free for everyone to use. B. It can do real work instead of only talking. C. It works faster than other AI. D. It helps people stop paying for expensive services. 28. The word “compatible” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________. A. popular B. expensive C. well-matched D. modern 29. Why do some international companies stop using OpenClaw? A. Because they are afraid of the security risks that it may bring. B. Because they think OpenClaw is not as helpful as other AI. C. Because they worry about the high costs of language model API services. D. Because they believe OpenClaw is not popular enough among their workers. 30. Which of the structures below matches the passage best? A. B. C. D. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 In a busy world full of study and work stress, many young people are looking for easy ways to calm down. ____31____ This fun activity has become a popular way for Chinese teenagers to relax this spring.
