Friends’ (4)
Good news! An AI-controlled robot treated a person’s tooth for the first time. Would you trust a robot dentist?
Robots are programmed to be precise (精确的). They follow exact steps. Before use, scientists test them carefully. It’s impossible for them to make mistakes. I trust robot dentists.
Robots use electricity (电). What if a robot got wet when it went to clean your teeth? That would end very badly.
Robots could work faster and clean teeth better. But a human dentist should still be in the room. If the robot has a problem, the human dentist can help. This makes the treatment safe.
Robots don’t understand feelings or special needs. They can’t see if you’re afraid. Dentist visits can be stressful. A human dentist can make patients feel safe and cared for.
1. What is Jack’s opinion about robot dentists?
A. They won’t make any mistakes.
B. They are friendly to patients.
C. They are cheaper than human dentists.

She invited all her classmates to her birthday party, and she gave gifts to everybody. She was such a busy girl with so many friends to spend time with every day. She felt very lucky.
But everything changed on National Friendship Day. On that day, at school, everyone had to give three gifts to their three best friends. Fiona enjoyed choosing three from all her friends. However, when they began to share their gifts, Fiona was the only one that didn’t receive one! Even Lily, who played with her every day, didn’t give her a gift.
When she got home that night, Fiona told her mother what had happened. Her mother touched her head tenderly and said, “You can’t buy friends with a smile or a few good words. If you really want true friends, you will have to give them real time and care. You should be there for them in good times and bad. For most of your classmates, you’re only a playmate.”

Do you know Curiosity, the famous Mars rover? It travels on the red planet to explore its unknown secrets. Why do people name this rover Curiosity? Because curiosity is a powerful part of humans, and it pushes us to make great progress all the time.
Curiosity comes from our natural human instinct (本能). We are born with it. When we are little babies, we try to touch and look at everything new. As we grow up, we keep asking “why” and “how” about the world. Scientists say our brains need to learn new things to grow, so curiosity is a natural need for every person.
Curiosity has clear performances in our daily life. We ask questions in class when we don’t understand knowledge. We watch small animals and read science books. A recent study shows that 80% of middle school students ask more than eight curious questions every day. These small acts are all signs of curiosity.
Most importantly, curiosity leads to great human progress. Many famous scientists get their ideas from curiosity. Albert Einstein, a great scientist, once said, “Curiosity is more important than knowledge.” His curiosity made him make amazing scientific discoveries. Data also shows that 90% of important inventions start with a curious thought.
In short, curiosity is a valuable gift for humans. It is our natural instinct, shows in daily life, and drives us to explore the unknown. We should always keep our curiosity, just like the rover, to make the world better.
8. What is the purpose of mentioning Curiosity the Mars rover at the beginning?
A. To tell readers how to explore Mars.
B. To introduce the topic of curiosity.
C. To show how the Mars rover works.
9. According to Paragraph 2, why is curiosity a natural need?
A. Because babies like to touch everything.
B. Because it makes people ask many questions.
C. Because our brains need new information to grow.
10. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Curiosity is only useful for scientists.
B. The Mars rover can answer all our questions.
C. Curiosity helps people create new inventions.
11. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Power of Curiosity
B. Famous Scientists in the World
C. How to Explore Mars
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要围绕好奇心展开,介绍了好奇心是人类的本能,在日常生活中有着明确表现,并且能推动人类取得重大进步,呼吁人们始终保持好奇心。
【8题详解】
第一段提到火星探测器“好奇号”,通过“Why do people name this rover Curiosity? Because curiosity is a powerful part of humans...”的设问与解答,其目的是引出“好奇心”这一主题。
【9题详解】
第二段指出原因:“Scientists say our brains need to learn new things to grow, so curiosity is a natural need for every person”,说明好奇心是一种自然需求,因为我们的大脑需要新信息来成长。
【10题详解】
第三段和第四段提到相关内容:“Many famous scientists get their ideas from curiosity”以及“90% of important inventions start with a curious thought”,由此可推断出好奇心有助于人们创造新发明。
【11题详解】
全文围绕好奇心的本质、表现和作用展开,从人类本能到推动进步,凸显了好奇心的力量,因此最佳标题是“好奇心的力量”。
D
Chen Shayin, the head teacher of Xiamen Special Education School, never imagined that children with hearing problems and autism (孤独症) could perform so well together on stage. To her amazement, her students surprised everyone with a perfect concert.
The idea of having the band started in 2017. A local band came to the school to play music. The children saw the shiny instruments, and their eyes shone with excitement. Seeing this, Miss Chen asked them if they wanted to try playing. The children said yes using sign language. Chen knew she had to help them. With help from some teachers, the Star Dream band was born.
Learning to play was very difficult for the children. For students who could not hear well, even making a sound was a big challenge. The teachers found creative ways to teach. They used things like pieces of paper, balloons, and bottles to help the children learn how to play. Slowly, the children began to improve and enjoy making music together.
After six years of hard work, the band was ready for a big surprise. In 2023, they held their first full concert for the public. The performance was a great success. The band is bigger now, and the children are invited to perform in many places.
Through music, these children learned to express themselves and connect with others. Their beautiful performance shows that every child can feel the joy of life.
12. How did Chen Shayin feel about the students’ performance?
A. Quite angry. B. Not surprised. C. Happy and excited.
13. Why was the Star Dream band born?
A. To develop the children’s interest in instruments.
B. To follow the advice of a famous musician.
C. To offer the children more activities.
14. How did teachers deal with learning difficulties?
A. By making students practise long hours daily.
B. By using everyday objects creatively.
C. By asking famous music teachers for help.
15. What is the right order of these events?
① Children saw shiny instruments. ② The band held their first concert.
③ A music group visited the school. ④ The teachers used tools to help.
A. ③ → ① → ④ → ② B. ③ →④ → ① → ② C. ① → ④ → ③ → ②
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了厦门特殊教育学校的陈莎茵老师带领有听力问题和孤独症的孩子们组建“星梦乐队”,经过六年努力成功举办音乐会,孩子们通过音乐学会表达自我、连接他人的故事。
【12题详解】
第一段指出感受:“To her amazement, her students surprised everyone with a perfect concert”,“amazement”结合语境可体现陈莎茵老师的开心与激动,因此她对学生的表演感到高兴且兴奋。
【13题详解】
第二段说明原因:“The children saw the shiny instruments, and their eyes shone with excitement. Seeing this, Miss Chen asked them if they wanted to try playing...the Star Dream band was born”,可见乐队成立是为了满足孩子们对乐器的兴趣,即培养孩子们对乐器的兴趣。
【14题详解】
第三段说明方法:“The teachers found creative ways to teach. They used things like pieces of paper, balloons, and bottles to help the children learn how to play”,纸、气球、瓶子均为日常物品,因此老师们通过创造性地使用日常物品来解决学习困难。
【15题详解】
结合全文段落梳理顺序:第二段提到“③ A music group visited the school”(当地乐队来学校演出),接着“① Children saw shiny instruments”(孩子们看到闪亮的乐器);第三段讲述“④ The teachers used tools to help”(老师们用工具辅助教学);第四段说明“② The band held their first concert”(乐队举办首场音乐会),因此正确顺序为③ → ① → ④ → ②。

第三部分 写作(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共5小题;满分10分)
阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题,并将答案写到答题卡的相应位置。
A study found that getting a smartphone before age 13 may be harmful to young people’s mental (心理的) health.
Researchers studied over 100,000 people about their phone use. Among those aged 18 to 24, many got their first smartphone at age 12 or younger. The study showed that these people were more likely to have mental health problems as adults (成年人), such as feelings of anger or sadness.
One key reason behind these problems may be that they can easily use social media. In fact, 89% of 12-year-old children in the UK own a smartphone, and the average age for getting the first one is now as young as 9. Also, many children spend long hours on their phones every day. This habit can cause sleep problems and poor family relationships. Besides, as technology and AI become important parts of life, they create challenges for face-to-face communication. All of these can affect mental health.
Experts are calling for action to protect young people’s mental health. They believe parents and teachers should set rules for phone use and teach children how to use technology safely. It is also important for children to balance technology use with real-world activities and self-care. This will help build a healthier future for them.

44. Parents and teachers.
45. They can make it hard for children to focus on their schoolwork./They may lead to children’s poor eyesight./Children may have less time for real-world activities./…
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了一项研究发现13岁前拥有智能手机可能对年轻人心理健康有害,并分析了相关原因及专家提出的保护建议。

Do you know Curiosity, the famous Mars rover? It travels on the red planet to explore its unknown secrets. Why do people name this rover Curiosity? Because curiosity is a powerful part of humans, and it pushes us to make great progress all the time.
Curiosity comes from our natural human instinct (本能). We are born with it. When we are little babies, we try to touch and look at everything new. As we grow up, we keep asking “why” and “how” about the world. Scientists say our brains need to learn new things to grow, so curiosity is a natural need for every person.
Curiosity has clear performances in our daily life. We ask questions in class when we don’t understand knowledge. We watch small animals and read science books. A recent study shows that 80% of middle school students ask more than eight curious questions every day. These small acts are all signs of curiosity.
Most importantly, curiosity leads to great human progress. Many famous scientists get their ideas from curiosity. Albert Einstein, a great scientist, once said, “Curiosity is more important than knowledge.” His curiosity made him make amazing scientific discoveries. Data also shows that 90% of important inventions start with a curious thought.
In short, curiosity is a valuable gift for humans. It is our natural instinct, shows in daily life, and drives us to explore the unknown. We should always keep our curiosity, just like the rover, to make the world better.
8. What is the purpose of mentioning Curiosity the Mars rover at the beginning?
A. To tell readers how to explore Mars.
B. To introduce the topic of curiosity.
C. To show how the Mars rover works.
9. According to Paragraph 2, why is curiosity a natural need?
A. Because babies like to touch everything.
B. Because it makes people ask many questions.
C. Because our brains need new information to grow.
10. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Curiosity is only useful for scientists.
B. The Mars rover can answer all our questions.
C. Curiosity helps people create new inventions.

阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题,并将答案写到答题卡的相应位置。
A study found that getting a smartphone before age 13 may be harmful to young people’s mental (心理的) health.
Researchers studied over 100,000 people about their phone use. Among those aged 18 to 24, many got their first smartphone at age 12 or younger. The study showed that these people were more likely to have mental health problems as adults (成年人), such as feelings of anger or sadness.
One key reason behind these problems may be that they can easily use social media. In fact, 89% of 12-year-old children in the UK own a smartphone, and the average age for getting the first one is now as young as 9. Also, many children spend long hours on their phones every day. This habit can cause sleep problems and poor family relationships. Besides, as technology and AI become important parts of life, they create challenges for face-to-face communication. All of these can affect mental health.
Experts are calling for action to protect young people’s mental health. They believe parents and teachers should set rules for phone use and teach children how to use technology safely. It is also important for children to balance technology use with real-world activities and self-care. This will help build a healthier future for them.
