I want to warn you of a problem we face because people depend too much on AI. Over the past 100 years, humans have let AI do more and more things for them. At first, AI was an excellent helper. Life became easier with AI by their side. But slowly, humans stopped thinking for themselves. Instead, they just let AI make all their choices, such as how to stay healthy, who to be friends with, and what job to do. However, AI, like any tool, is not perfect. It can make mistakes. Sadly, many people didn’t notice this until it was too late. Many people lost control of their own lives, and even worse, some came to trust AI more than they trusted themselves. I’m not suggesting you should avoid using AI at all. AI can be a useful tool. But you must always be the one in control. Use AI to help you, not to take the place of you. Ask it questions, but always check the answers and always make your own decisions. The more you depend on your own thinking and judgment, the better prepared you’ll be for a future where AI is everywhere. Just remember: thinking for yourself, being creative, and caring for others are things only humans can do. AI will never have these abilities. The more you use your own brain and heart, the safer you will be in a world full of AI. Sincerely, Jill, a worried human from 2126 29. Why does Jill write this letter? A. To share happy stories about using AI in 2126. B. To ask people of 2026 to invent more powerful AI. C. To warn people of 2026 about overdependence on AI. D. To explain how AI has changed the world in 100 years. 30. Which of the four body paragraphs (Para.1–Para.4) shows AI’s bad influence on humans? A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4. 31. What advice does Jill give to people of 2026 about AI? A. They should avoid using AI as much as possible. B. They can use AI to help but still make their own decisions. C. They should let AI plan all their daily activities to save time. D. They should trust AI’s answers without thinking for themselves. 32. What does Jill probably agree with? A. AI will be able to think creatively soon. B. People should stop using AI in the future. C. Life was more interesting without AI in the past. D. Humans’ own abilities are their most important tool. 【答案】29. C 30. B 31. B 32. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，讲述了未来人类因过度依赖AI而失去独立思考能力的问题，提醒人们要合理使用AI，始终保持自己的思考与判断，不要让AI取代人类的自主能力。 【29题详解】 根据第一段第二句“I want to warn you of a problem we face because people depend too much on AI.”可知作者想警告一个我们面临的问题，因为人们太依赖人工智能了。Jill写信的目的是警告2026年的人们不要过度依赖AI。 【30题详解】 根据第二段“humans stopped thinking for themselves… Many people lost control of their own lives, and even worse, some came to trust AI more than they trusted themselves.”可知人类停止独立思考、许多人失去了对自己生活的控制、有些人信任AI胜过信任自己，详细讲述了人类过度依赖AI的后果，直接体现了AI的负面影响。 【31题详解】 根据第三段中“But you must always be the one in control. Use AI to help you, not to take the place of you... always make your own decisions.”可知必须始终掌控局面，使用AI来帮助你，而不是取代你，始终自己做决定。建议是利用AI辅助但仍需自己做出决定。 【32题详解】 根据最后一段“thinking for yourself, being creative, and caring for others are things only humans can do... The more you use your own brain and heart, the safer you will be in a world full of AI.”描述为自己思考、创造和关爱他人是只有人类才能做的事你越多地使用自己的大脑和心灵，你就越安全。由此推断作者认为人类自身的能力是最重要的保障。 C In January 2024, a very unusual little visitor was found on the airport runway in New Zealand. It made all the planes stop for a while. But the pilot and passengers waited patiently without getting angry. Why? Because it was a little blue penguin! Maybe it dreamed of flying — no one knows for sure. The cute bird was taken away safely, but people there remembered it for a long time. Another funny thing happened in 2019. Two little blue penguins made a nest under a food stand in Wellington, New Zealand. People had to move them to a safer place. However, by nightfall, the two penguins crossed several busy roads and came back “home”. It’s a natural characteristic of the penguins — they will always return to where they nest. The little blue penguin is the smallest kind of penguin in the world. It stands at just 25cm, weighs a little over 1kg and lives to about 8-10 years old. These penguins live by the sea in Australia and New Zealand. Their blue feathers help them hide in the water so other animals cannot see them easily. They are very good at swimming and can go deep to catch fish. They sometimes look for food alone and sometimes in groups. They like to live in holes in the ground or under houses. They usually come out at night. Now, these little penguins are in danger. The sea is getting dirty and they are losing their homes. Also, animals like cats and dogs can hurt them. So, people are working to protect them and their nests. We hope these wonderful birds can still be around in the future. ...... 33. Why did all the planes stop at the airport in New Zealand in January 2024? A. Because the weather was too bad. B. Because the airport was too busy. C. Because a little blue penguin was on the runway. D. Because the pilot and passengers were very patient. 34. What does the underlined word “characteristic” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Home. B. Problem. C. Feature. D. Journey. 35. In Paragraph 3, which of the following things about the little blue penguin are mentioned? a. its ability b. its living place c. its size d. its population e. its habit A. ace B. bed C. abce D. acde 36. What will the passage probably talk about next? A. Why the little penguins are in danger. B. How the little penguins survive at last. C. Who and what do harm to the little penguins. D. What actions are taken to protect the little penguins. 【答案】33. C 34. C 35. C 36. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了小蓝企鹅的趣事、生活习性、面临的生存危机以及人们保护它们的意愿。 【33题详解】 根据第一段中“In January 2024, a very unusual little visitor was found on the airport runway in New Zealand. It made all the planes stop for a while ... Because it was a little blue penguin!”可知，2024年1月新西兰机场飞机停飞是因为跑道上出现了一只小蓝企鹅。 【34题详解】 根据第二段划线词后的破折号内容“they will always return to where they nest”可知，这是对前面词汇的具体解释，说明这是企鹅的一种天性或“特征”，“characteristic”表示“特征”，与选项中Feature意思一致。 【35题详解】 根据第三段内容可知，文章提到了小蓝企鹅的能力（very good at swimming，对应a）、居住地（live by the sea，对应b）、体型大小（stands at just 25cm，对应c）以及生活习惯（usually come out at night，对应e）。 【36题详解】 根据最后一段中“So, people are working to protect them and their nests.”并结合文末的省略号可顺理成章地推知，文章接下来最有可能详细介绍人们具体采取了哪些行动来保护这些小企鹅。 D Your phone rings. You answer, and a polite woman on the line says she’s calling from your bank. She explains that there is a problem with your account. However, if you provide some personal details — your address, date of birth, and password (密码) — she can help work it out. Be careful: if you give her the information, you will be in danger. That’s because it’s probably a scam. This type of online scam that uses calls to trick people into giving private information. Think of it as a fisher who uses a worm to fish. These “fishers” want one thing: your money. They use many tricks to make their calls look real. They may use technology to change their voice or use their caller’s false ID. But usually, they make use of your feelings, such as what you fear or want. In this way, they get you to give them the things they want. These scams work well because they force people into making decisions at once. For example, a scammer might call an elderly woman and claim (声称) to be her grandson. He is in trouble and needs money right away. Or they might want you to put in money in a “promising business” to make more money, but you have to act now. The first step in protecting yourself from scams is to be careful when someone calls you to ask for money or personal information. If you have any doubt, say you’ll call back and hang up. Then, if the call is from a family member, call them at a number you know is real. If it is from a bank, look up their number online and call it to check whether the situation is real. Even if the caller makes it seem like an emergency, always take a moment to check. It could save you from making an expensive mistake. Remember, these scammers are smart and can make you believe them easily. Don’t be the fish that takes the worm! 37. What does the underlined word “scam” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to? A. A friendly service from the bank. B. A real problem with your account. C. A clever plan to make you richer. D. A special trick to steal your information. 38. Why do these scams often succeed? A. Because the scammers contact people by email. B. Because the scammers only trick older rich people. C. Because the scammers force people to decide in a hurry. D. Because the scammers promise to give more money back. 39. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. Banks’ actions to stop scams. B. Tips for staying safe from scams. C. Methods to search for scam information online. D. Ways to check if a call is from a family member. 40. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage? A. To tell a funny story about a phone call. B. To explain what a scam is and how to avoid it. C. To describe the technology used in the scams. D. To show why older people are easily tricked by scams. 【答案】37. D 38. C 39. B 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了电话诈骗的定义、运作方式以及如何保护自己免受诈骗的建议。 【37题详解】 根据第一段中“if you give her the information, you will be in danger. That’s because it’s probably a scam.”可知，提供信息会导致危险，说明这是一种窃取信息的骗局或诡计，“scam”表示“一种窃取你信息的特殊诡计”。 【38题详解】 根据第三段首句“These scams work well because they force people into making decisions at once.”可知，骗局成功的原因是迫使人们匆忙做决定。 【39题详解】 根据第四段首句“The first step in protecting yourself from scams is to be careful ...”以及后续提到的挂断电话、回拨核实等具体建议可知，本段主要讲述的是免受诈骗的安全建议。 【40题详解】 文章第一段引出诈骗话题，第二、三段解释什么是诈骗及为何成功，第四、五段提供防范建议。由此可知，文章的目的是解释什么是诈骗以及如何避免被诈骗。 B）阅读短文，从短文后所给的A~F六个选项中选出五个能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Listening to music is an important part of daily life for many people. It can make everyday activities more fun and relaxing. It can also help with studying, according to many students. ____41____ Well, scientists say, sometimes yes, sometimes no. The type of music we listen to can make a big difference. ____42____ It usually has a slow beat and no words. This can help you feel relaxed and fully present. ____43____ Songs with words—especially in a language you know—can make it hard to focus. If you listen to music with words while reading, your brain has to work harder to not listen to the song’s words. Fast or loud music can also be a problem. It may make you feel energetic, but it can also make you feel nervous or restless. However, songs with words or fast beats can be useful too. You can listen to them before you start studying. ____44____ So, what is the best way to use music when studying? In general, slow music without words is best when you are doing homework. But other types of music can help you get ready before you start. ____45____ You might even find that silence works best for you. A. But not all music helps you study. B. Music influences the brain in powerful ways. C. But does listening to music really help you focus? D. For example, classical music is often good for studying. E. This can put you in a good mood and help you get ready to learn. F. Everyone’s brain is different, so try different things and see what works for you. 【答案】41. C 42. D 43. A 44. E 45. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了听音乐对学习的影响，说明不同类型的音乐对专注度的作用不同，给出了学习时使用音乐的建议，并指出要根据个人情况选择适合自己的方式。 【41题详解】 上文“It can also help with studying, according to many students.”提到许多学生认为音乐有助于学习，下文“Well, scientists say, sometimes yes, sometimes no.”科学家回答“有时是，有时不是”。C选项“但是听音乐真的能帮助你集中注意力吗？”是一个过渡性问句，承接前文“音乐帮助学习”的说法，引出后文科学家的回答，起到承上启下的作用。 【42题详解】 上文“The type of music we listen to can make a big difference.”指出音乐类型影响很大，下文“It usually has a slow beat and no words. This can help you feel relaxed and fully present.”描述它通常节奏慢且无歌词。D选项“例如，古典音乐通常适合学习”举出了具体例子，且古典音乐符合下文的特征描述。 【43题详解】 前文讲了适合学习的音乐，后文“Fast or loud music can also be a problem. It may make you feel energetic, but it can also make you feel nervous or restless.”讲有歌词的歌、快节奏的音乐反而会让人难以集中注意力。本段主要讲述有歌词或快节奏的音乐可能会分散注意力。A选项“但并非所有音乐都有助于你学习”作为段首主题句，概括了本段的负面内容，与上一段形成转折。 【44题详解】 上文“However, songs with words or fast beats can be useful too. You can listen to them before you start studying.”建议可以在学习前听这类音乐。E选项“这可以让你心情好，帮助准备学习”解释了这样做的好处，This指代上文提到的行为，承接前文内容，逻辑通顺。 【45题详解】 上文“So, what is the best way to use music when studying? …But other types of music can help you get ready before you start.”给出了普遍建议，下文“ You might even find that silence works best for you.”提到你甚至可能发现安静最适合你。F选项强调“每个人情况不同，要找到适合自己的方式”，与后文“你甚至会发现安静对你来说效果最好” 呼应，是全文的收尾和个性化建议。 四、词语运用（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） A） 选用方框内的单词或词组填空，其中有一个单词或词组是多余的。 celebration recommend local success unusual took part in In April, I traveled to Yunnan province and ____46____ the Water Festival.

I want to warn you of a problem we face because people depend too much on AI. Over the past 100 years, humans have let AI do more and more things for them. At first, AI was an excellent helper. Life became easier with AI by their side. But slowly, humans stopped thinking for themselves. Instead, they just let AI make all their choices, such as how to stay healthy, who to be friends with, and what job to do. However, AI, like any tool, is not perfect. It can make mistakes. Sadly, many people didn’t notice this until it was too late. Many people lost control of their own lives, and even worse, some came to trust AI more than they trusted themselves. I’m not suggesting you should avoid using AI at all. AI can be a useful tool. But you must always be the one in control. Use AI to help you, not to take the place of you. Ask it questions, but always check the answers and always make your own decisions. The more you depend on your own thinking and judgment, the better prepared you’ll be for a future where AI is everywhere. Just remember: thinking for yourself, being creative, and caring for others are things only humans can do. AI will never have these abilities. The more you use your own brain and heart, the safer you will be in a world full of AI. Sincerely, Jill, a worried human from 2126 29. Why does Jill write this letter? A. To share happy stories about using AI in 2126. B. To ask people of 2026 to invent more powerful AI. C. To warn people of 2026 about overdependence on AI. D. To explain how AI has changed the world in 100 years. 30. Which of the four body paragraphs (Para.1–Para.4) shows AI’s bad influence on humans? A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4. 31. What advice does Jill give to people of 2026 about AI? A. They should avoid using AI as much as possible. B. They can use AI to help but still make their own decisions. C. They should let AI plan all their daily activities to save time. D. They should trust AI’s answers without thinking for themselves. 32. What does Jill probably agree with? A. AI will be able to think creatively soon. B. People should stop using AI in the future. C. Life was more interesting without AI in the past. D. Humans’ own abilities are their most important tool. C In January 2024, a very unusual little visitor was found on the airport runway in New Zealand. It made all the planes stop for a while. But the pilot and passengers waited patiently without getting angry. Why? Because it was a little blue penguin! Maybe it dreamed of flying — no one knows for sure. The cute bird was taken away safely, but people there remembered it for a long time. Another funny thing happened in 2019. Two little blue penguins made a nest under a food stand in Wellington, New Zealand. People had to move them to a safer place. However, by nightfall, the two penguins crossed several busy roads and came back “home”. It’s a natural characteristic of the penguins — they will always return to where they nest. The little blue penguin is the smallest kind of penguin in the world. It stands at just 25cm, weighs a little over 1kg and lives to about 8-10 years old. These penguins live by the sea in Australia and New Zealand. Their blue feathers help them hide in the water so other animals cannot see them easily. They are very good at swimming and can go deep to catch fish. They sometimes look for food alone and sometimes in groups. They like to live in holes in the ground or under houses. They usually come out at night. Now, these little penguins are in danger. The sea is getting dirty and they are losing their homes. Also, animals like cats and dogs can hurt them. So, people are working to protect them and their nests. We hope these wonderful birds can still be around in the future. ...... 33. Why did all the planes stop at the airport in New Zealand in January 2024? A. Because the weather was too bad. B. Because the airport was too busy. C. Because a little blue penguin was on the runway. D. Because the pilot and passengers were very patient. 34. What does the underlined word “characteristic” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Home. B. Problem. C. Feature. D. Journey. 35. In Paragraph 3, which of the following things about the little blue penguin are mentioned? a. its ability b. its living place c. its size d. its population e. its habit A. ace B. bed C. abce D. acde 36. What will the passage probably talk about next? A. Why the little penguins are in danger. B. How the little penguins survive at last. C. Who and what do harm to the little penguins. D. What actions are taken to protect the little penguins. D Your phone rings. You answer, and a polite woman on the line says she’s calling from your bank. She explains that there is a problem with your account. However, if you provide some personal details — your address, date of birth, and password (密码) — she can help work it out. Be careful: if you give her the information, you will be in danger. That’s because it’s probably a scam. This type of online scam that uses calls to trick people into giving private information. Think of it as a fisher who uses a worm to fish. These “fishers” want one thing: your money. They use many tricks to make their calls look real. They may use technology to change their voice or use their caller’s false ID. But usually, they make use of your feelings, such as what you fear or want. In this way, they get you to give them the things they want. These scams work well because they force people into making decisions at once. For example, a scammer might call an elderly woman and claim (声称) to be her grandson. He is in trouble and needs money right away. Or they might want you to put in money in a “promising business” to make more money, but you have to act now. The first step in protecting yourself from scams is to be careful when someone calls you to ask for money or personal information. If you have any doubt, say you’ll call back and hang up. Then, if the call is from a family member, call them at a number you know is real. If it is from a bank, look up their number online and call it to check whether the situation is real. Even if the caller makes it seem like an emergency, always take a moment to check. It could save you from making an expensive mistake. Remember, these scammers are smart and can make you believe them easily. Don’t be the fish that takes the worm! 37. What does the underlined word “scam” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to? A. A friendly service from the bank. B. A real problem with your account. C. A clever plan to make you richer. D. A special trick to steal your information. 38. Why do these scams often succeed? A. Because the scammers contact people by email. B. Because the scammers only trick older rich people. C. Because the scammers force people to decide in a hurry. D. Because the scammers promise to give more money back. 39. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. Banks’ actions to stop scams. B. Tips for staying safe from scams. C. Methods to search for scam information online. D. Ways to check if a call is from a family member. 40. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage? A. To tell a funny story about a phone call. B. To explain what a scam is and how to avoid it. C. To describe the technology used in the scams. D. To show why older people are easily tricked by scams. B）阅读短文，从短文后所给的A~F六个选项中选出五个能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Listening to music is an important part of daily life for many people. It can make everyday activities more fun and relaxing.

Their good work has won international awards, and they have become famous enough to appear on TV shows and stamps! The secret to the success is simple: people prefer kindness to shouting.
