Passage 1
(2026江苏苏北/南京地区二模)
As advancements in AI continue to unfold, robots are emerging as a transformative force in the elderly care industry across China. With innovations ranging from feeding robots to those designed for recovery and hygiene (卫生) assistance, an increasing range of age-friendly tech products is being introduced to support seniors.
These cutting-edge solutions are making up for traditional family-based care models, announcing a new era in the way we approach elder care.
Recently, cities such as Shanghai and Xi’an, have launched innovative smart elderly care initiatives aimed at enhancing the combined development of elderly care services and related industries. This move came in response to the rising interest in smart elderly care.
Many nursing homes in Chinese cities are now integrating intelligent care robots into their operations. For example, at a home care center in Fuzhou, a group of seniors averaging 86 years old are enjoying a more convenient and dynamic lifestyle thanks to the introduction of “smart nannies.” Among the cutting-edge technologies being employed to assist seniors with disabilities are robotic “caregivers,” multifunctional transfer bed-chairs, and fall-detection alarms.
In 2024, a resident from Shenzhen, Guangdong, surnamed Xia, invested nearly 30,000 yuan in a toileting care robot for his 80-year-old bedridden grandfather, which can help him stand and walk for toileting. It can automatically sense needs and perform fully automated processes. Since its introduction, this toileting care robot has greatly eased the caregiving burden on family members. “It’s much less exhausting now. When the drain water tank is full, we just empty the wastewater and refill it with clean water,” Xia said.
He expressed hope for more walking-assist robots, noting that the high cost of current models remains a barrier for many families.
Chen Zhengxiang, an AI model trainer based in Suzhou, East China’s Jiangsu Province, has conducted research in many nursing homes across the country. He told the Global Times that current robots on the market still have shortcomings in human-robot interaction. For instance, they struggle to recognize commands spoken in local dialects, and their emotional interactions remain at a programmed response level.
1. What is mainly talked about in the first paragraph?
A.Robots are transforming Chinese industry.
B.Tech products help the elderly live longer.
C.Elderly care robots see growing popularity.
D.AI speeds up the production of care robots.
2.What can robots at a home care center in Fuzhou do?
A.Help doctors operate on the sick elderly.
B.Pick seniors up who fall to the ground.
C.Make nursing homes easily accessible.
D.Move seniors in a more convenient way.
3.What does the underlined word “bedridden” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Having limited mobility. B.Abandoned to diseases.
C.Lack of consciousness. D.Unable to express oneself.
4.What does the author want to stress about elderly car robots in the last paragraph?
A.Extensive market prospects. B.The room for improvement.
C.The difficulty in training them. D.Potential application in nursing.

Passage 1
(2026江苏苏北/南京地区二模)
As advancements in AI continue to unfold, robots are emerging as a transformative force in the elderly care industry across China. With innovations ranging from feeding robots to those designed for recovery and hygiene (卫生) assistance, an increasing range of age-friendly tech products is being introduced to support seniors.
These cutting-edge solutions are making up for traditional family-based care models, announcing a new era in the way we approach elder care.
Recently, cities such as Shanghai and Xi’an, have launched innovative smart elderly care initiatives aimed at enhancing the combined development of elderly care services and related industries. This move came in response to the rising interest in smart elderly care.
Many nursing homes in Chinese cities are now integrating intelligent care robots into their operations. For example, at a home care center in Fuzhou, a group of seniors averaging 86 years old are enjoying a more convenient and dynamic lifestyle thanks to the introduction of “smart nannies.” Among the cutting-edge technologies being employed to assist seniors with disabilities are robotic “caregivers,” multifunctional transfer bed-chairs, and fall-detection alarms.
In 2024, a resident from Shenzhen, Guangdong, surnamed Xia, invested nearly 30,000 yuan in a toileting care robot for his 80-year-old bedridden grandfather, which can help him stand and walk for toileting. It can automatically sense needs and perform fully automated processes. Since its introduction, this toileting care robot has greatly eased the caregiving burden on family members. “It’s much less exhausting now. When the drain water tank is full, we just empty the wastewater and refill it with clean water,” Xia said.
He expressed hope for more walking-assist robots, noting that the high cost of current models remains a barrier for many families.
Chen Zhengxiang, an AI model trainer based in Suzhou, East China’s Jiangsu Province, has conducted research in many nursing homes across the country. He told the Global Times that current robots on the market still have shortcomings in human-robot interaction. For instance, they struggle to recognize commands spoken in local dialects, and their emotional interactions remain at a programmed response level.
1. What is mainly talked about in the first paragraph?
A.Robots are transforming Chinese industry.
B.Tech products help the elderly live longer.
C.Elderly care robots see growing popularity.
D.AI speeds up the production of care robots.
2.What can robots at a home care center in Fuzhou do?
A.Help doctors operate on the sick elderly.
B.Pick seniors up who fall to the ground.
C.Make nursing homes easily accessible.
D.Move seniors in a more convenient way.
3.What does the underlined word “bedridden” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Having limited mobility. B.Abandoned to diseases.
C.Lack of consciousness. D.Unable to express oneself.
4.What does the author want to stress about elderly car robots in the last paragraph?
A.Extensive market prospects. B.The room for improvement.
C.The difficulty in training them. D.Potential application in nursing.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.A 4.B
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍人工智能技术推动下,各类养老机器人在中国逐步应用,缓解养老压力,同时也指出了现存的不足。
1.主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“As advancements in AI continue to unfold, robots are emerging as a transformative force in the elderly care industry across China. With innovations ranging from feeding robots to those designed for recovery and hygiene (卫生) assistance, an increasing range of age-friendly tech products is being introduced to support seniors. (随着人工智能的不断发展,机器人正成为中国养老行业的变革力量。从喂食机器人到康复和卫生辅助机器人,越来越多的适老化科技产品被推出以帮助老年人。)”可知,第一段主要讲养老机器人越来越受关注、应用越来越广泛。故选C项。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“For example, at a home care center in Fuzhou, a group of seniors averaging 86 years old are enjoying a more convenient and dynamic lifestyle thanks to the introduction of “smart nannies.” Among the cutting-edge technologies being employed to assist seniors with disabilities are robotic “caregivers,” multifunctional transfer bed-chairs, and fall-detection alarms. (例如,在福州的一家养老中心,得益于“智能保姆”的引入,一群平均86岁的老人享受着更便捷、更有活力的生活。用于帮助失能老人的前沿技术包括机器人“护理员”、多功能移位床椅和跌倒检测报警器。)”可知,这些机器人能更方便地移动老人,帮助他们生活。故选D项。
3.词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“In 2024, a resident from Shenzhen, Guangdong, surnamed Xia, invested nearly 30,000 yuan in a toileting care robot for his 80-year-old bedridden grandfather, which can help him stand and walk for toileting.(2024年,广东深圳一位夏姓居民为他80岁、卧床不起的祖父花费近3万元购买了一台如厕护理机器人,它可以帮助老人站立和行走如厕。)”可知,这位老人需要机器人辅助站立、行走和如厕,说明他行动不便、长期卧床,因此bedridden意为“行动能力受限”。故选A项。
4.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中的“He told the Global Times that current robots on the market still have shortcomings in human-robot interaction. For instance, they struggle to recognize commands spoken in local dialects, and their emotional interactions remain at a programmed response level.(他告诉《环球时报》,目前市场上的机器人在人机交互方面仍存在不足。例如,它们难以识别方言指令,情感交互也停留在程序响应层面。)”可知,作者在最后一段强调养老机器人还存在技术缺陷,有很大的改进空间。故选B项。

Passage 1
(2026·江苏苏北七市·二模)
A 19-year-old runner with Down syndrome (唐氏综合症) has become the youngest person with a learning disability to complete a marathon. Lloyd Martin created history by finishing the 26.2-mile (42 km) course of the London Marathon guided by his mother Ceri Hooper, 54, on Sunday.
After undergoing surgery on both of his knees in 2021, Martin began running 5 kilometers at a time. The Daily Mail reported that the teenager began training for the marathon in December, coached by his mother, an experienced marathoner. After Christmas, he began increasing his mileage and prepared for London.
More than 50,000 excellent and charitable runners took to the streets of the British capital, with a record 578,000 people entering the ballot (抽签) for this event, making it the most popular marathon in the world.
The Guinness World Records awarded Lloyd Martin a certificate at the end of the race. He is the youngest person to complete a marathon in the intellectual impairment (损伤) category, the book of records announced.
The teenager and his mother broke down in tears after finishing the race. “In Lloyd’s words, it’s achieving his dream.” Ms. Hooper was quoted by the BBC as saying. “Really anything is possible if you put your mind to it. With a bit of work, you can achieve it.”
Martin ran the first 14 miles of the marathon without stopping, which was the farthest he had ever run, his mother said. He then walked the rest of the miles till the finish line as the crowd cheered for him.
“It was tough, but we had a ball,” Ms. Hooper said, adding that her son’s achievement was important for people with Down syndrome. “We did not say a lot when we crossed the finish line. We just both burst into tears,” she said. Prior to the marathon, Mr. Martin had run the farthest distance of 5 km in November last year.
