Tim’s sister frequently had trouble getting a good night’s sleep as a child. “I saw the effects of poor sleep on her life,” he says. Many of his classmates complained about similar problems. When it was time to do a high-school research project, he decided to deal with “a real need in the world”. His solution — a huggable, co-sleeping robot — brought him a First Award in the Robotics and Intelligent Machines category at Barker College in Sydney, Australia. “Other robotic sleep aids exist. But until now, none could hug back,” Tim says. He started by building a monkey robot and went on to create a koala robot, too. Hugging the robot causes its arms to return the hugger’s hug thanks to the flexible, inflatable tubes (可充气管子) in the robot’s arms. A fiber outside the tubes works like a muscle. His machines do more than return hugs. The robot’s stomach gently rises and falls. “It’s quite comforting,” Tim says. The robot even tries to match its “breathing” rate to the hugger’s. How? A sensor (传感器) inside measures the CO₂ breathed out by the hugger. The robot then tries to mirror how fast the user is breathing. But that part proved tricky. After all, a bedroom fan might be enough to throw off the gas levels. So it’s not always going to be mirroring the user exactly. Therefore, a nice slow breathing rate is preset. Tim believes his robots might help people in other settings, too. Some people benefit from emotional support dogs, for example. But some places might not allow animals. In a super clean hospital, an animal may bring a risk to sick kids. “Being able to relax kids suffering from illnesses is quite a challenging thing,” Tim shares. “But my product could do it.” 4. What inspired Tim to design the robot? A. The widespread sleep trouble. B. His desire to win a robotics competition. C. The lack of robotic sleep aids in the market. D. His interest in studying breathing patterns. 5. What makes Tim’s robot special compared with others? A. Its equipment for removing CO2. B. Its soft and huggable material. C. Its ability to monitor the heart rate. D. Its function of responding to hugs. 6. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. No animals are allowed in hospitals. B. Tim is confident about his robots’ future. C. Emotional support dogs are no longer popular. D. More improvement is needed for the hugging robots. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Tim? A. Responsible and flexible. B. Honest and hard-working. C. Creative and considerate. D. Humorous and strong-willed. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了18岁的蒂姆·威尔逊设计了一款特殊的软体机器人，这款机器人能够给人拥抱，帮助改善睡眠。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Tim’s sister frequently had trouble getting a good night’s sleep as a child. Many of his classmates complained about similar problems.( 蒂姆的姐姐小时候经常难以获得充足的睡眠。他的许多同学也都抱怨着类似的问题。)”可知，蒂姆的妹妹小时候经常睡不好觉，他的许多同学也抱怨有类似的问题，这激发了蒂姆设计这款机器人的灵感。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“‘Other robotic sleep aids exist. But until now, none could hug back,’ Tim says.(确实存在其他机器人睡眠辅助工具，但到目前为止，还没有任何一款能够给予拥抱回馈。)”可知，蒂姆的机器人与其他机器人睡眠辅助工具不同的是，它能够回应拥抱。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“‘Being able to relax kids suffering from illnesses is quite a challenging thing,’ Tim shares. ‘But my product could do it.’(“能够让生病的孩子放松下来是一件很有挑战性的事情，”蒂姆分享道，“但我的产品可以做到。”)”可知，蒂姆认为他的机器人能够帮助放松生病的孩子，这很有挑战性，但他的产品可以做到。由此可以推断出，蒂姆对他的机器人的未来充满信心。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“When it was time to do a high-school research project, he decided to deal with ‘a real need in the world’.(当到了做高中研究课题的时候，他决定去解决“世界上一个真正的需求”。)”以及“His solution—a huggable, co-sleeping robot— brought him a First Award in the Robotics and Intelligent Machines category at Barker College in Sydney, Australia.(他的解决方案——一个可以拥抱的、可以一起睡觉的机器人——为他赢得了澳大利亚悉尼巴克学院机器人与智能机器类别的一等奖。)”可知，蒂姆决定解决世界上的一个真正需求并且由此创造了一个可以睡觉的机器人，由此说明他有创造力；根据文章第三段中的“The robot even tries to match its ‘breathing’ rate to the hugger’s.(这个机器人甚至试图让自己的“呼吸”频率与拥抱者同步。)”可知，蒂姆设计的机器人甚至试图使其“呼吸”频率与拥抱者匹配，这说明他体贴周到。故C项“Creative and considerate.(有创造力和体贴周到的)”符合题意。故选C。 C Teachers need to fully understand how AI actually works so that they can make wise decisions on when and how to use it. I recently met with a kindergarten teacher who was very worried. She asked me, “Do I really have to use AI with my kids? I don’t even know what it is.” She was under such pressure, and that’s not healthy. It’s an incredibly difficult and unfair situation for teachers to be placed in. That’s why AI literacy (人工智能素养), along with supporting teachers with the integration of AI literacy in their classrooms, is a main priority for me. It’s very important to slow down and make sure teachers feel comfortable and confident before integrating AI into schools. It’s important to think about using AI in ways suitable for different ages and address privacy concerns. While there are still gaps, I remain optimistic. AI can make life easier and help us be more productive and creative if used as a helpful partner. How do these innovations shape the future of education? Are you fearful or hopeful? I’m hopeful that this could be a turning point where teaching and learning are greatly changed, as education has changed little since it began. AI is here to stay, so we have to decide to make it positive in the ways we want. If we don’t do anything, it could have negative effects. This feels like a big change, but people were also worried when computers and smartphones were first introduced to schools. We have adapted to those and will adapt to life with AI too. One of the fundamental goals of education is to prepare our students to contribute meaningfully to society. With things changing as rapidly as they are, we need to equip students with the abilities they will need to navigate and grow in a constantly developing world. We should emphasize learning how to learn and how to adapt. 8. What concerned the kindergarten teacher? A. Supporting kids to learn AI. B. Creating new technology for kids. C. Integrating AI into her classroom. D. Teaching AI technology in her school. 9. What is the author’s attitude to the potential of AI in education? A. Worried. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Positive. 10. What does the author suggest teachers do about AI in education? A. Focus on teaching students AI skills. B. Help students to accept AI technology. C. Replace old teaching methods with AI. D. Remove AI literacy from other courses. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. AI Literacy: a Hope for Students B. AI in Education: Challenges and Hopes C. AI Innovation: Lowering Educational Quality D. AI-driven Future: Taking Control of Students 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨人工智能在教育中的应用，涉及教师面临的困境、合理使用方式及对教育未来的积极展望。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“She asked me, “Do I really have to use AI with my kids? I don’t even know what it is.” She was under such pressure.(她问我：“我真的必须和我的孩子们一起使用人工智能吗？我甚至不知道它是什么。”她承受着这样的压力)”可知，这位幼儿园老师担忧的是要将人工智能融入自己的课堂教学。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“While there are still gaps, I remain optimistic. AI can make life easier and help us be more productive and creative if used as a helpful partner.(尽管仍存在差距，但我保持乐观。如果将人工智能作为有益的合作伙伴，它可以让生活更轻松，帮助我们提高效率和创造力)”可知，作者认为人工智能有积极作用，对其在教育中的潜力持积极态度。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“With things changing as rapidly as they are, we need to equip students with the abilities they will need to navigate and grow in a constantly developing world. We should emphasize learning how to learn and how to adapt.(事物变化如此之快，我们需要让学生具备在不断发展的世界中立足和成长所需的能力。我们应该强调学会如何学习和如何适应)”可知，人工智能已成为趋势，作者建议教师帮助学生适应人工智能技术。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，第一段提出“教师在融入AI时面临困惑与压力”的挑战；第二段至第四段表达“对AI在教育领域潜力的乐观与希望”；最后一段给出“培养学生适应能力”的建议。全文核心围绕“人工智能在教育中的挑战与希望”展开。所以最佳标题为B项“人工智能在教育中的挑战与希望”。故选B项。 D A new study has revealed the vast majority of Australians worry about what might happen to the Great Barrier Reef, the country’s largest natural wonder. Environmental groups warn authorities that bold action is needed now to secure its future. The report, commissioned by the Great Barrier Reef Foundation (GBRF), shows that the Reef is still one of the world’s most valuable ecosystems, but its survival cannot be guaranteed without major investment and strong climate action. The Reef brings about 9 billion Australian dollars to the economy each year and supports around 77,000 jobs. Economists estimate that, with urgent climate efforts, it could bring another 124 billion dollars in benefits over the next 50 years. But without action, experts warn, it may not survive at all. Public support for saving the Reef is also strong. A national survey found that 98% of Australians believe losing the Reef would be a “national tragedy,” and nearly three-quarters see it as “irreplaceable.” Nine in ten are worried about climate change, and 78% say protecting the Reef for future generations is very important. “The Reef is too precious to lose,” said GBRF director Anna Marsden, adding that saving it is vital not just for the environment, but also for the millions of people who depend on it. Scientists report that the Reef has suffered record coral losses in recent years due to warming seas and pollution. Since 2016, five mass bleaching (白化) events have damaged large parts of the Reef, including two in 2024 and 2025. Run-off from farms continues to reduce water quality, making recovery harder. To save the Reef, the Australian and Queensland governments have launched the “Reef 2050 Plan,” a long-term program to improve water quality and expand protected areas. However, debate continues after Queensland decided to extend coal use beyond 2050. Supporters say the plan is practical, while others warn that continued fossil fuel use puts the Reef’s future at serious risk. 12. What does the GBRF report mainly warn about? A. The Great Barrier Reef brings less money each year. B. The Great Barrier Reef is losing its global importance. C. The Great Barrier Reef’s survival needs urgent action. D. The Great Barrier Reef will be replaced by new tourist attractions. 13. What is one major threat to the Great Barrier Reef? A. Overfishing. B. Sea warming. C. Tourism growth. D. Invasive species. 14. Why is the Queensland Government criticized? A. It wants to use coal for longer. B. It plans to close the Reef to tourists. C. It ignores the Reef’s economic value. D. It has refused to support the “Reef 2050 Plan”. 15. What is the best title for this text? A. A Natural Wonder in Danger B. The Future of Coral Farming C. How Tourism Shapes Australia D. Climate Change and Its Harms 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文通过研究报告和数据，说明大堡礁面临的气候威胁、生态现状及保护争议，强调采取紧急行动的必要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The report, commissioned by the Great Barrier Reef Foundation (GBRF), shows that the Reef is still one of the world’s most valuable ecosystems, but its survival cannot be guaranteed without major investment and strong climate action.(这份由大堡礁基金会（GBRF）委托编写的报告表明，大堡礁仍是世界上最具价值的生态系统之一，但若不进行大规模投资并采取强有力的气候行动，其生存将无法得到保障)”可知，GBRF报告主要警告大堡礁的生存状况亟需采取紧急措施。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Scientists report that the Reef has suffered record coral losses in recent years due to warming seas and pollution. Since 2016, five mass bleaching (白化) events have damaged large parts of the Reef, including two in 2024 and 2025. Run-off from farms continues to reduce water quality, making recovery harder.(科学家报告称，近年来由于海水变暖和污染，珊瑚礁遭受了创纪录的珊瑚损失。自2016年以来，已经发生了五次大规模珊瑚白化事件，这些事件破坏了珊瑚礁的大片区域，其中包括2024年和2025年的两次。农场的污水排放持续降低水质，这使得珊瑚礁的恢复变得更加困难)”可知，大堡礁面临的最大威胁是海水变暖。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, debate continues after Queensland decided to extend coal use beyond 2050. Supporters say the plan is practical, while others warn that continued fossil fuel use puts the Reef’s future at serious risk.(然而，在昆士兰州决定将煤炭使用期限延长至2050年之后，相关争论仍在继续。支持者称该计划切实可行，而反对者则警告称，持续使用化石燃料会使大堡礁的未来面临严重威胁)”可知，昆士兰州政府会受到批评是因为它希望延长使用煤炭的时间。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study has revealed the vast majority of Australians worry about what might happen to the Great Barrier Reef, the country’s largest natural wonder. Environmental groups warn authorities that bold action is needed now to secure its future.(一项新的研究显示，绝大多数澳大利亚人都对大堡礁（该国最大的自然奇观）的未来感到担忧。环保组织警告政府当局，现在必须采取果断措施来确保大堡礁的未来)”结合本文通过研究报告和数据，说明大堡礁面临的气候威胁、生态现状及保护争议，强调采取紧急行动的必要性可知，A选项“一处濒危的自然奇观”最符合文章标题。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to build a healthy self-image Self-image is important because how we think about ourselves affects how we feel about ourselves and how we interact with the world around us. ____16____ Here are some ways you can build a healthy self-image. Praise others sincerely. Did you notice something good in another person? Praise it. The more you’re able to celebrate the positive experience of others, the more secure you’ll feel with yourself. ____17____ This practice of praising others can also help fight against the feelings of low self-worth. Experience and express gratitude. Practicing gratitude is another way to fight the unkind inner voice that may shape your self-image. Try starting a gratitude journal — this will encourage you to lay out the good things you’re thankful for. As you’re writing a journal, try to notice what you’re grateful for and what role you play in those things. ____18____ ____19____ We’ll grow and change in our lives as time goes by. But if you put in effort, that growth can happen faster and more effectively. Meanwhile, a big part of growth is being patient with yourself. For example, if you start a meditation (冥想), don’t expect to sit for half an hour right away. With more practice, meditating for 10 or 20 minutes daily could be your new routine. Take social media breaks. While it’s a big part of our lives, social media can be a huge contributing factor to our self-image. On social media, people tend to show themselves in their best states and not their unfavorable ones. ____20____ That’s why it’s important to take breaks from the digital world. It’s a continual process to develop a healthy self-image, but through meaningful practices, you can find a better self. A. Set strict goals for self-growth. B. Take action for self-growth with patience. C. These actions contribute to a positive self-view. D. Self-image is the personal view that we have of ourselves. E. So, we will look down on ourselves if we’re looking at it too much. F. A healthy self-image can improve our physical and mental well-being. G. By shining a light of positivity on others, it often reflects back onto you. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. C 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了建立健康的自我形象的四种方法——真诚赞美他人、培养感恩习惯、耐心自我成长、控制社交媒体使用。 【16题详解】 前文“Self-image is important because how we think about ourselves affects how we feel about ourselves and how we interact with the world around us. (自我形象至关重要，因为我们如何看待自己会影响自我感受以及与他人和周围环境的互动方式)”指出自我形象影响个体的情绪与行为，后文“Here are some ways you can build a healthy self-image. (以下是培养健康自我形象的一些方法)”引出培养健康自我形象的方法，此处是过渡句，应说明健康的自我形象的积极作用，因此F项“A healthy self-image can improve our physical and mental well-being. (健康的自我形象能提升身心健康)”符合语境，承前启后，其中的A healthy self-image在后一句有同词复现。故选F。 【17题详解】 前文“The more you’re able to celebrate the positive experience of others, the more secure you’ll feel with yourself. (你越是能够为他人获得的积极体验而喝彩，就越容易获得内心的安定感)”指出真诚赞美他人有助于提升自我安全感，后文“This practice of praising others can also help fight against the feelings of low self-worth. (这种赞美他人的行为，也能有效对抗自我价值感低落的负面情绪)”指出赞美他人还能帮助抵抗负面情绪，此处应该也描述赞美他人对自己的好处，因此G项“By shining a light of positivity on others, it often reflects back onto you. (将积极的光束投射他人时，光芒常会反射回你身上)”符合语境，用比喻描述赞美他人与反哺自我的关系，承前启后，符合题意。故选G。 【18题详解】 前文“Try starting a gratitude journal — this will encourage you to lay out the good things you’re thankful for. As you’re writing a journal, try to notice what you’re grateful for and what role you play in those things. (不妨尝试记录感恩日记——这会促使你梳理出生活中值得感激的美好事物。在书写过程中，要特别留意：你感激的究竟是什么？在这些美好中，你又扮演了怎样的角色)”建议用感恩日记关注自身在美好事物中的角色，此处是段末句，应总结这种实践对自我形象的积极影响，因此C项“These actions contribute to a positive self-view. (这些行动有助于形成积极的自我认知)”符合语境，承接前文，其中的these actions指代前文写日记、觉察等具体行为。故选C。 【19题详解】 后文“We’ll grow and change in our lives as time goes by. But if you put in effort, that growth can happen faster and more effectively. Meanwhile, a big part of growth is being patient with yourself. For example, if you start a meditation (冥想), don’t expect to sit for half an hour right away. (随着时间的流逝，我们的生活将会成长和改变。但如果你付出努力，这种增长就会更快、更有效。与此同时，成长的很大一部分是对自己有耐心。例如，如果你开始冥想，不要指望马上坐半个小时)”强调成长需要耐心，并举冥想为例，此处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需建议用耐心促进自我成长，且需和其他段首句一样使用祈使句的形式，因此B项“Take action for self-growth with patience. (以耐心付诸自我成长的行动)”符合语境，契合后文主旨。故选B。 【20题详解】 前文“On social media, people tend to show themselves in their best states and not their unfavorable ones. (在社交媒体上，人们倾向于展示自己最好的状态，而不是最糟糕的状态)”指出社交媒体往往片面展示最好状态的现象，后文“That’s why it’s important to take breaks from the digital world. (这就是为什么从数字世界中休息一下是很重要的)”总结要从数字世界中休息，此处是过渡句，应该指出这一现象的负面影响，因此E项“So, we will look down on ourselves if we’re looking at it too much. (因此，过度浏览社交媒体会导致自我贬低)”符合语境，和前后文构成完整的因果关系链。故选E。 第三部分 语言知识应用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节:(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)  阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Josiah Jackson has played the piano since age 4 and he started his piano-tuning (钢琴调音) career at 18.

First, we’d better choose balanced school meals that provide enough nutrition for our daily study. Besides, it is wise for us to eat more fruits and vegetables instead of oily snacks and takeaways. Health is the foundation of study and life. Let’s stay away from frequent takeaways and stick to healthy diets so that we can build strong bodies and live a positive school life. 【解析】 【导语】题目要求考生以学生会主席的身份，针对学生常吃外卖的现象，阐述其危害、提出健康饮食建议并发出倡议。 【详解】1.词汇积累 影响：affect→influence 充足的：sufficient→adequate 基础：foundation→base 坚持：stick to→adhere to 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Besides, it is wise for us to eat more fruits and vegetables instead of oily snacks and takeaways. 拓展句：Besides, it is wise for us to eat more fruits and vegetables, which are much healthier than oily snacks and takeaways. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Most takeaway food lacks sufficient nutrition and contains too much oil and salt, which may cause health problems in the long run.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】First, we’d better choose balanced school meals that provide enough nutrition for our daily study.（运用了that引导的限制性定语从句） 第二节(满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 My younger sister Lily had always longed for a cat. Every birthday and every Spring Festival, she made the same wish. My parents, however, remained unconvinced, firmly believing that keeping a pet would be more trouble than pleasure, especially with two busy students in the family. Everything changed unexpectedly one Saturday afternoon. On my way home from school, I noticed a small gray cat sitting near the entrance of our apartment building. It wasn’t afraid at all. Instead, it followed me upstairs, slipped into our living room, and settled there as if it had already decided where it belonged. Lily let out a scream of excitement. “She chose us!” Lily announced, her voice trembling with certainty. My father immediately pointed to the cat hair gathering on the sofa, while my mother raised concerns about feeding schedules once exam pressure set in. After a long and cautious discussion, they finally agreed to keep the cat for one week — as a trial. We named it “Cloud,” inspired by its soft fur. In the beginning, things went smoothly. Cloud spent most of the day sleeping and followed Lily from room to room, like a loyal shadow. But soon, problems appeared. Cloud would often knock over a flower pot, scratch the curtains, and jump onto the dining table. Each small accident added to the growing unease. “This is exactly what we feared,”my father remarked. Lily tried to defend Cloud, promising to take full responsibility. I remained mostly silent, watching how quickly excitement gave way to tension. On a cold evening, after Cloud accidentally spilled a cup of water onto my homework, I lost my temper and shouted. The room fell silent. Cloud jumped down at once and hid under the sofa, curling up into a ball and not taking a single step out. Lily looked up at me, tears welling in her eyes. Later that night, I found her sitting on the floor, softly calling Cloud’s name. However, it refused to come out. “If we send it away,” Lily asked in a low voice, “will it live a good life?” Her question lingered in my mind long after she went to bed. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Early the next morning, we noticed Cloud fell sick and came down with a fever. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the week, our family had reached a decision. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Early the next morning, we noticed Cloud fell sick and came down with a fever. It huddled weakly under the sofa, emitting faint whimpers that stirred our sympathy. Lily’s eyes reddened instantly; she knelt down, gently caressing Cloud’s cold fur and murmuring soothing words. My parents rushed to purchase pet medication, while I fetched a warm towel to wrap around its tiny frame. Throughout the day, we took turns attending to it — Lily fed it warm milk with patience, my father cleaned its litter box thoroughly, and my mother monitored its temperature at regular intervals. The awkward tension in the house gradually faded, giving way to a quiet sense of unity. By the end of the week, our family had reached a decision. We would keep Cloud permanently. Those days of caring for the sick cat made us realize that pet ownership is not just about pleasure, but also about responsibility and mutual warmth. Cloud, now fully recovered, ran around the house cheerfully, leaping onto the sofa and curling up in Lily’s lap. My parents no longer complained about the trouble; instead, they often smiled as they watched Lily play with Cloud. I even found myself looking forward to coming home to its warm welcome. This little gray cat had not just chosen us, but also bound our family closer together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以照顾生病的小猫Cloud为线索展开，讲述了小猫Cloud 生病后一家人齐心协力照料它，在这个过程中家庭的隔阂逐渐消散，最终一家人决定永久收养Cloud，小猫也让家人之间的关系变得更加亲密的温馨故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天一大早，我们注意到克劳德生病了，还发着烧”可知，第一段可描写小猫生病后的虚弱状态，以及家人看到后各自的反应和立刻采取的照料行动，通过一系列细致的动作描写体现家人的关心。 ②由第二段首句内容“到周末时，我们一家人做出了一个决定”可知，第二段可描写一家人经过照料小猫的经历后做出的收养决定，以及小猫康复后的状态，家人对小猫态度的转变，最后点明小猫给家庭带来的改变和文章主旨。 2.续写线索：发现小猫生病——家人各施其法照料——照料中家庭隔阂消散——周末一家人做出收养决定——小猫康复恢复活力——家人态度转变，家庭关系更亲密 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①蜷缩：huddle/crouch/curl up tightly ②购买：purchase/acquire/procure ③跳跃：leap/spring/bound 情绪类 ①同情：sympathy/compassion ②欢快地：cheerfully/briskly 【点睛】【高分句型1】It huddled weakly under the sofa, emitting faint whimpers that stirred our sympathy.(运用了现在分词结构emitting作伴随状语和that引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】My parents no longer complained about the trouble; instead, they often smiled as they watched Lily play with Cloud.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 平罗中学2025-2026学年度第二学期第一次月考试卷 高二英语 满分:150分 考试时长：120分钟 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Tim’s sister frequently had trouble getting a good night’s sleep as a child. “I saw the effects of poor sleep on her life,” he says. Many of his classmates complained about similar problems. When it was time to do a high-school research project, he decided to deal with “a real need in the world”. His solution — a huggable, co-sleeping robot — brought him a First Award in the Robotics and Intelligent Machines category at Barker College in Sydney, Australia. “Other robotic sleep aids exist. But until now, none could hug back,” Tim says. He started by building a monkey robot and went on to create a koala robot, too. Hugging the robot causes its arms to return the hugger’s hug thanks to the flexible, inflatable tubes (可充气管子) in the robot’s arms. A fiber outside the tubes works like a muscle. His machines do more than return hugs. The robot’s stomach gently rises and falls. “It’s quite comforting,” Tim says. The robot even tries to match its “breathing” rate to the hugger’s. How? A sensor (传感器) inside measures the CO₂ breathed out by the hugger. The robot then tries to mirror how fast the user is breathing. But that part proved tricky. After all, a bedroom fan might be enough to throw off the gas levels. So it’s not always going to be mirroring the user exactly. Therefore, a nice slow breathing rate is preset. Tim believes his robots might help people in other settings, too. Some people benefit from emotional support dogs, for example. But some places might not allow animals. In a super clean hospital, an animal may bring a risk to sick kids. “Being able to relax kids suffering from illnesses is quite a challenging thing,” Tim shares. “But my product could do it.” 4. What inspired Tim to design the robot? A. The widespread sleep trouble. B. His desire to win a robotics competition. C. The lack of robotic sleep aids in the market. D. His interest in studying breathing patterns. 5. What makes Tim’s robot special compared with others? A. Its equipment for removing CO2. B. Its soft and huggable material. C. Its ability to monitor the heart rate. D. Its function of responding to hugs. 6. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. No animals are allowed in hospitals. B. Tim is confident about his robots’ future. C. Emotional support dogs are no longer popular. D. More improvement is needed for the hugging robots. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Tim? A. Responsible and flexible. B. Honest and hard-working. C. Creative and considerate. D. Humorous and strong-willed. C Teachers need to fully understand how AI actually works so that they can make wise decisions on when and how to use it. I recently met with a kindergarten teacher who was very worried. She asked me, “Do I really have to use AI with my kids? I don’t even know what it is.” She was under such pressure, and that’s not healthy. It’s an incredibly difficult and unfair situation for teachers to be placed in. That’s why AI literacy (人工智能素养), along with supporting teachers with the integration of AI literacy in their classrooms, is a main priority for me. It’s very important to slow down and make sure teachers feel comfortable and confident before integrating AI into schools. It’s important to think about using AI in ways suitable for different ages and address privacy concerns. While there are still gaps, I remain optimistic. AI can make life easier and help us be more productive and creative if used as a helpful partner. How do these innovations shape the future of education? Are you fearful or hopeful? I’m hopeful that this could be a turning point where teaching and learning are greatly changed, as education has changed little since it began. AI is here to stay, so we have to decide to make it positive in the ways we want. If we don’t do anything, it could have negative effects. This feels like a big change, but people were also worried when computers and smartphones were first introduced to schools. We have adapted to those and will adapt to life with AI too. One of the fundamental goals of education is to prepare our students to contribute meaningfully to society. With things changing as rapidly as they are, we need to equip students with the abilities they will need to navigate and grow in a constantly developing world. We should emphasize learning how to learn and how to adapt. 8. What concerned the kindergarten teacher? A. Supporting kids to learn AI. B. Creating new technology for kids. C. Integrating AI into her classroom. D. Teaching AI technology in her school. 9. What is the author’s attitude to the potential of AI in education? A. Worried. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Positive. 10. What does the author suggest teachers do about AI in education? A. Focus on teaching students AI skills. B. Help students to accept AI technology. C. Replace old teaching methods with AI. D. Remove AI literacy from other courses. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. AI Literacy: a Hope for Students B. AI in Education: Challenges and Hopes C. AI Innovation: Lowering Educational Quality D. AI-driven Future: Taking Control of Students D A new study has revealed the vast majority of Australians worry about what might happen to the Great Barrier Reef, the country’s largest natural wonder. Environmental groups warn authorities that bold action is needed now to secure its future. The report, commissioned by the Great Barrier Reef Foundation (GBRF), shows that the Reef is still one of the world’s most valuable ecosystems, but its survival cannot be guaranteed without major investment and strong climate action. The Reef brings about 9 billion Australian dollars to the economy each year and supports around 77,000 jobs. Economists estimate that, with urgent climate efforts, it could bring another 124 billion dollars in benefits over the next 50 years. But without action, experts warn, it may not survive at all. Public support for saving the Reef is also strong. A national survey found that 98% of Australians believe losing the Reef would be a “national tragedy,” and nearly three-quarters see it as “irreplaceable.” Nine in ten are worried about climate change, and 78% say protecting the Reef for future generations is very important. “The Reef is too precious to lose,” said GBRF director Anna Marsden, adding that saving it is vital not just for the environment, but also for the millions of people who depend on it. Scientists report that the Reef has suffered record coral losses in recent years due to warming seas and pollution. Since 2016, five mass bleaching (白化) events have damaged large parts of the Reef, including two in 2024 and 2025. Run-off from farms continues to reduce water quality, making recovery harder. To save the Reef, the Australian and Queensland governments have launched the “Reef 2050 Plan,” a long-term program to improve water quality and expand protected areas. However, debate continues after Queensland decided to extend coal use beyond 2050.

Every birthday and every Spring Festival, she made the same wish. My parents, however, remained unconvinced, firmly believing that keeping a pet would be more trouble than pleasure, especially with two busy students in the family. Everything changed unexpectedly one Saturday afternoon. On my way home from school, I noticed a small gray cat sitting near the entrance of our apartment building. It wasn’t afraid at all. Instead, it followed me upstairs, slipped into our living room, and settled there as if it had already decided where it belonged. Lily let out a scream of excitement. “She chose us!” Lily announced, her voice trembling with certainty. My father immediately pointed to the cat hair gathering on the sofa, while my mother raised concerns about feeding schedules once exam pressure set in. After a long and cautious discussion, they finally agreed to keep the cat for one week — as a trial. We named it “Cloud,” inspired by its soft fur. In the beginning, things went smoothly. Cloud spent most of the day sleeping and followed Lily from room to room, like a loyal shadow. But soon, problems appeared. Cloud would often knock over a flower pot, scratch the curtains, and jump onto the dining table. Each small accident added to the growing unease. “This is exactly what we feared,”my father remarked. Lily tried to defend Cloud, promising to take full responsibility. I remained mostly silent, watching how quickly excitement gave way to tension. On a cold evening, after Cloud accidentally spilled a cup of water onto my homework, I lost my temper and shouted. The room fell silent. Cloud jumped down at once and hid under the sofa, curling up into a ball and not taking a single step out. Lily looked up at me, tears welling in her eyes. Later that night, I found her sitting on the floor, softly calling Cloud’s name. However, it refused to come out. “If we send it away,” Lily asked in a low voice, “will it live a good life?” Her question lingered in my mind long after she went to bed. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Early the next morning, we noticed Cloud fell sick and came down with a fever. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the week, our family had reached a decision. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
