In fact,AI is part of human progress.We should think of it as a powerful tool.That means welcoming the technology,accepting that it's here to stay,and learning how to use it to make our work easier or to help us perform better. It might also be a good idea to develop more skills,for example,by taking online courses or exploring different roles in a company.Remember to keep an open mind about future jobs,as this can help us adapt((适应)to new changes better.. Al can do quite a lot,but not everything,at least for now.We can focus on those things that only humans can do.These are often called"soft skills".They are more about how we behave and work with others. "We should develop our emotional intelligence()in the workplace.We should pay attention to the way we communicate with others and show kindness.Creativity and problem-solving are two more areas where humans still have a clear advantage over robots,"suggested Michael S.Seaver,a leadership coach. It's important to note that new technology will not affect all of us in the same way.Some people might find it harder to adapt to new things.This could increase()their risk of being replaced by robots. 7.Why are many people afraid of robots? 第3页共9页 A.Because they think AI will stop developing soon.

A.To tell us bow AI changes the whole world. B.To teach us how to develop soft kills quickly. C.To show us how to stay important in the Al age. D.To explain why AI is not useful for human work. D Not long ago,a photo of the football players in my college showed up on my phone as a “memory”,which was kept through the-digital memory(数字记t忆).I was surprised to see the photo at first and sweet memories flashed into my mind. In the photo,the players from the football team hugged together in excitement after they won the game.At that time,I took a photo of them with my phone.It recorded the friendship and the happiness.Then,I fell into the habit of taking photos of everything.More and more photos filled my phone so I almost forgot this photo.Thanks to the digital memory,I could enjoy the happy time again. People needed to make an effort to record things in the past.But now we can do something like that easily through the digital memory.We put what we want to remember into our smartphones.Most of the photos that I have kept on my phones-and in the cloud now-bring happy memories back to me. However,not all the digital memories are happy.Some are sad.When I see the photos of my lost pet, I am worried.Because they make me recall something I want to forget.Usually,digital memories are sent 第4页共9页 to me non-stop and without any human-like feelings.That drives me crazy. It's hard to say clearly when the digital memory started madly.These digital memories,whether happy or sad,break into our lives.In my job as a reporter,I have spent the past five years taking different photos.They will always be there,whatever. 11.How did the writer feel when he saw the photo at first?

On December 10th,1868,British mechanic (De Hart designed the world's first traffic light with only red and green.A policeman had to pull a belt to change the lights:red meant"stop",and green meant "go".At first,it worked well and reduced accidents.However,this traffic light exploded ( after 23 days.The light was turned off,but the idea stayed alive. In 1914,electric traffic lights were first used in America.Red and green still did their jobs,then they were safer and easier to see. In 1927,a Chinese student named Hu Ruding was studying in the US.He noticed drivers sometimes rushed when the light changed."What if there's a middle color to slow people down?"he thought.That's how the yellow light was born,meaning "get ready to stop."Around the same time,an American policeman named William Potts created the first three-color traffic lights for all directions.They made crossroads much safer. These colors were not chosen by chance.Red is easy to see,like a fire alarm,so it means "danger-stop!"Yellow is a warning,like a sign that says "be careful-slow down!"Green,like a forest, tells us "safe to go!"Together,they form a common language that keeps safe every day. Great ideas come from everyday things.Whether traffic lights or something else,noticing and thinking "what if'can change the world! 41.When did the world's first traffic light with only red and green appear? 42.Who suggested adding a yellow light to traffic signs? 43.What does the underlined word"they"refer to in Paragraph 5? 44.What's the title for the passage? 45.According to the writer's opinion,what should we do? 第二节写作（共1小题，计20分） 成长的过程中，我们总会遇到各种各样的烦恼，也会收获宝贵的成长。某英文报社以“Growing Pains and Gains'”(成长的烦恼与收获)为题举办征文比赛，请你根据以下要点提示，用英语写 一篇短文参赛。 第8页共9页 要点提示； 1.What problem did you have? 2.How did you solve it? 3.What did you learn from it? 要求： 1.内容完整，覆盖所有要点，可适当发挥： 2.逻辑清晰，语句通顺，注意使用恰当的连接词； 3.词数；80词左右； 4.文中不得出现真实姓名、校名等相关信息。 Growing Pains and Gains 第9页共9页2025~2026学年第二学期英语期中测试答案 阅读理解 1-3:BDD 4-6:DAA 7-10:CDDC 11-15:DBACA 短文还原 16-20:EFBCD 完形填空 21-25:DAABC 26-30:BDADA 评分说明： 1-15题，每小题2分；16-20题，每小题2分，21-30题，每小题1分。与答案不符不得分。 语法填空 (一)答案 31.the most beautiful 32.traditional 33.so 34.to learn/learning 35.decision 36.them 37.an 38.has developed 39.perfectly 40.playing （二)评分说明： 1.本小题共10分，每小题1分： 2.未用所给词者不得分，与答案不符但只要形式正确，符合题意，也可得分。 阅读表达 (一)答案 46.On December 10th.1868 47.Hu Ruding. 48.Red,yellow and green. 49.The History of Traffic Lights. 50.Notice everyday things and think"what if.
