Lei Diansheng is a famous Chinese explorer and environmental protector. Born in 1963 in a small village near Harbin, he is called “the modern Xu Xiake” for his great journey. Before starting his trip, he spent 10 years 31 . He did daily long runs to build up his strength and read many books on wild survival to learn how to 32 with dangers.
From 1998 to 2008, Lei spent 10 years walking across China. He walked about 81,000 kilometers—almost twice around the equator (赤道)! During the trip, he wore out 52 pairs of 33 and lost 19 toenails (脚趾甲). Once, he even had to eat snake meat to stay 34 in the Shennongjia Forest. He faced many dangers, like mudslides and wolf attacks, but he never 35 . In 2008, he made history by walking alone through the Lop Nur Desert—a dry, dangerous place. He walked 1,100 kilometers in 31 days and became the 36 person to do that alone.
Lei didn’t just walk for 37 . He visited all 56 ethnic groups in China, took 40,000 photos and wrote 3.2 million words in his notes. These notes became a “living record” of Chinese culture and nature. He also helped others during his trip—he gave money to poor students and 38 in flood rescue work in Hunan Province.
Now, Lei still works for travel and education. He leads teams to study the environment, like protecting the source of the Yangtze River. Last year, he took a group of scientists to collect water samples there. He also works with traditional artists to turn his travel notes into 39 , so more people can learn about environmental protection. For students, he organizes hiking camps in Heilongjiang’s forests, where kids learn to 40 wild plants and understand local ethnic cultures.
Lei’s story tells us: True adventure is not just about walking 41 . It’s about loving our 42 and protecting it. His spirit of courage and exploration will keep inspiring people for a long time.

People in ancient China worked long hours each day. To relax, they invented many games. Here are some of them.
Shuttlecock
Shuttlecock (jianzi in Chinese) can go back to over 2,000 years ago during the Han Dynasty. This traditional Chinese game is very simple. It has only one rule: keep the shuttlecock in the air without using your hands. Players try to kick as many as possible. Nowadays, students have shuttlecock lessons in some schools.
Chinese yo-yo
Chinese yo-yo (kongzhu in Chinese), is an hourglass-shaped toy. It is made of wood or bamboo and played with a string. The string connects two hand sticks. This fun game is popular in north China. The players move the hand sticks up and down to let the toy go round. Some good players can even throw it up into the air and then catch it on the string.
Chuiwan
Chuiwan was one of the ball games in ancient China, which was very popular in the Song Dynasty. “Chui” means “ ” and “wan” means “ball”. This sport was similar to golf. On a large field, the players were divided into two groups. Usually there were 2 to 10 people in each group. Everyone had three chances to get the ball into holes with a stick. Only when three strikes into the hole were achieved did the player win the point.
Cuju
First recorded 2,000 years ago, cuju is known as the earliest form of football. The ball was made of leather on the outside and filled with rice bran inside. As a fun and relaxing game, cuju was used in the army to train soldiers. Its rules were similar to football’s. Each team usually had 12 or 16 players. No hands were allowed. Only feet and the head could be used. The ball should be kicked into the opposite goal.
46. Why did ancient Chinese people invent many games?
A. To relax themselves. B. To make themselves stronger.
C. To work for long hours. D. To have competitions with others.
47. Which games can be played with hands?
A. Chinese yo-yo and chuiwan. B. Chuiwan and cuju.
C. Shuttlecock and Chinese yo-yo. D. Cuju and shuttlecock.
48. Which word can be filled in the blank in the Chuiwan part?
A. hold B. blow C. lift D. hit
49. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The rules in a cuju game were like those in a football game.
B. Chinese yo-yo is made of wood, bamboo or leather with a string.
C. There were no more than 20 players on the field in a game of chuiwan.

C
From different TV dramas or books, we can often hear titles like quanzi, taoli and kaimo. In fact, they are part of Chinese history and culture.
In China, it’s a modest (谦虚的)way for Chinese parents to introduce their sons by calling quanzi while they use linglang to show respect for others’. Although their children are successful, they don’t usually talk about this in public. Instead, they try to play it down. This is similar to Hanshe that Chinese people may call their big houses.
There is another Chinese expression taoli mantianxia, which means a teacher has lots of students across the country, like trees full of peaches and plums (桃和李). It comes from a story about Zizhi. As a teacher, Zizhi was kind and strict. He often pointed at the peach or plum trees in his yard to ask his students to work hard.“ You should try to be a successful person in your fields, just as the peach and plum trees,” he said. Keeping these words in mind, many of his students did as he said and made it.
In Chinese, kaimo means “role model”. Both words have a “木” on their left side. People believe that kai and mo might be two kinds of trees in ancient China. It was said that there were many kai trees growing near Confucius’ tomb (孔子墓). These trees were so straight that they made people think of Confucius’ quality-straight and honest. The mo trees were said to grow near the tomb of the Duke of Zhou. The straightness and the leaves’ pure color of trees were like his wonderful quality. Since kai and mo trees grew near the tombs of two great people, kaimo was then used to stand for role models.
50. According to paragraph 2, Chinese play it down by ________.
A. inviting friends to visit their Hanshe B. calling others’ sons linglang
C. wanting their children to be successful D. calling their own sons quanzi
51. Taoli is used to refer to ________ from paragraph 3.
A. peach and plum trees B. hard-working teachers
C. flowers and fruit of trees D. successful students in their fields
52. What do kai and mo trees have in common (共同点) from the last paragraph?
A. They are both straight. B. They have pure leaves.
C. They are planted in the same place. D. Their names both have a “木”on the right side.
53. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. It tells us how to be a good teacher like Zizhi.
B. It shows us different ways Chinese people respect others.
C. It introduces some Chinese words about history and culture.
D. It explains why Chinese people like to plant trees near tombs.
D
Tim Berners-Lee is not the most famous inventor in the world. However, his invention has changed our lives.
He was born in London, England in 1955. When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. He made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21. Tim started working on early computers. At that time, they were much bigger than now. He worked in England then Switzerland. Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works.
How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly? He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Tim also forgot things easily. Could a computer work like a brain? Could it “talk” to other computers?
There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that.
Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today.
Most inventors want to become rich. But Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing. He now works in America. He helps people share technology and wants the Internet to be free for everyone to use. Maybe he is the most important but least famous inventor in the world today!
54. What was Tim Berners-Lee interested in?
A. Looking for jobs in different cities. B. Talking to people around the world.
C. Studying how to connect computers. D. Exploring how to improve memory.
55. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refers to “________”.
A. Working on early computers B. Connecting different facts together
C. Travelling to the office in Switzerland D. Repeating the answers to the same questions
56. Why is Tim Berners-Lee one of the most important men in the world?
A. He made information sharing on the Internet possible.
B. He made the first computer when he was 21 years old.
C. He helped people understand better how the brain works.
D. He invented the Internet and made it free for everyone to use.

Travelling the world is a dream for many people, but do you want to make a difference while enjoying the world? 57
Volunteer travel is an act of taking a trip where all or part of the purpose of the trip is to do voluntary work. 58 During the trip, volunteer travellers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. In exchange for their help, they may get free or cheap accommodation (住宿), meals or classes.
Volunteer travel is not a new way to explore the world. It first became popular in the 1960s. 59 However, as time goes by, more and more volunteer trips are taking place in the volunteers’ home countries.
There are many advantages of volunteer travel. First of all, volunteer travel allows you to give back to the communities you visit. Whether you’re teaching English to children, cheering up sick kids, or working with wildlife, your efforts can make a real difference in the lives of others.
60 It’s also a great way to explore new cultures, meet new people and open our minds to the world around us. By working with local people on community projects, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the places you visit and learn some valuable life skills.
In a word, you can learn a lot from a volunteer vacation, and give back to society at the same time.
A.It’s important to do your research.
B.But volunteer travel isn’t just about helping others.
C.If so, volunteer travel could be a good choice (选择) for you.
D.It’s a great way to make new friends around the world.
E.It can last anywhere from a few days to several months.
F.At first, most volunteer activities took place in a foreign country.

阅读下面短文,回答短文后的问题。(前3题每题答案不超过10个词)。
Recently, a strange but interesting trend called “keeping lobsters” has become popular among young Internet users. You might be surprised—these are not real sea lobsters. They are AI agents (AI智能体), a new kind of smart computer program that can really do tasks for people.
The name comes from a popular AI tool called Open Claw, whose logo is a lobster. In the past, most AI could only chat with you or answer simple questions.They could not take real actions. But today, these “digital lobsters” are able to work like real helpers. After getting your permission, they can control your computer, manage files, write simple codes, send emails, and even organize meeting notes.
What’s more, these AI agents can learn from your habits and work independently. That is why young people joke that they are “raising” a smart digital pet. This new fashion shows clearly that AI is rapidly changing from a simple talking tool into a practical and helpful assistant in our daily life.
61.Where does the name “keeping lobsters” come from?
62.What could most AI only do in the past?
63.Why do young people joke that they are “raising” a smart digital pet?
64.Do you think AI agents will be helpful in your daily life? Why or why not?

IT is quite interesting. IT says that I should never talk when there is food in my mouth. Also, I should try to eat or drink as quietly as possible. However, in japan, IT is okay to make a lot of noise when you are eating noodles. This article made me think about the cultural differences between countries. For example, when I go to england, I have to remember never to put my knife in my mouth. This is very rude. I also need to wait until everyone is at the table before I started eating. So just as the same goes when in rome do as the romans do, IT is a good idea to learn about their table manners before going to another country. Hello everyone, i'm alex.

【答案】16. B 17. A 18. C 19. B 20. C
【原文】Hello, everyone, I’m Alex. Recently, I have read an article about table manners on the website. It is quite interesting. It says that I should never talk when there is food in my mouth. Also I should try to eat or drink as quietly as possible. However, in Japan, it is okay to make a lot of noise when you are eating noodles. This article made me think about the cultural differences between countries. For example, when I go to England, I have to remember never to put my knife in my mouth. This is very rude. I also need to wait until everyone is at the table before I start eating. So just as the saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” It is a good idea to learn about their table manners before going to another country.

Lei Diansheng is a famous Chinese explorer and environmental protector. Born in 1963 in a small village near Harbin, he is called “the modern Xu Xiake” for his great journey. Before starting his trip, he spent 10 years 31 . He did daily long runs to build up his strength and read many books on wild survival to learn how to 32 with dangers.
From 1998 to 2008, Lei spent 10 years walking across China. He walked about 81,000 kilometers—almost twice around the equator (赤道)! During the trip, he wore out 52 pairs of 33 and lost 19 toenails (脚趾甲). Once, he even had to eat snake meat to stay 34 in the Shennongjia Forest. He faced many dangers, like mudslides and wolf attacks, but he never 35 . In 2008, he made history by walking alone through the Lop Nur Desert—a dry, dangerous place. He walked 1,100 kilometers in 31 days and became the 36 person to do that alone.
Lei didn’t just walk for 37 . He visited all 56 ethnic groups in China, took 40,000 photos and wrote 3.2 million words in his notes. These notes became a “living record” of Chinese culture and nature. He also helped others during his trip—he gave money to poor students and 38 in flood rescue work in Hunan Province.
Now, Lei still works for travel and education. He leads teams to study the environment, like protecting the source of the Yangtze River. Last year, he took a group of scientists to collect water samples there. He also works with traditional artists to turn his travel notes into 39 , so more people can learn about environmental protection. For students, he organizes hiking camps in Heilongjiang’s forests, where kids learn to 40 wild plants and understand local ethnic cultures.
Lei’s story tells us: True adventure is not just about walking 41 . It’s about loving our 42 and protecting it. His spirit of courage and exploration will keep inspiring people for a long time.

【解析】
【导语】本文介绍探险家雷殿生十年徒步中国的经历,他克服重重困难,同时致力于环保与文化记录,精神鼓舞世人。
31.句意:在开始旅行之前,他花了十年时间准备。
下文提到他跑步锻炼、阅读野外生存书籍,这些都是出发前的准备工作,preparing“准备”符合语境。playing“玩耍”、travelling“旅行”、resting“休息”均与下文内容不符。
32.句意:他每天长跑增强体力,阅读许多野外生存书籍来学习如何应对危险。
deal with是固定搭配,意为“应对、处理”,符合语境。do、make、live均无法与with搭配表达此含义。
33.句意:在旅途中,他磨破了52双鞋,还掉了19个脚趾甲。
上文提到他徒步旅行,结合空后“lost 19 toenails”可知长时间行走会磨损鞋子,shoes“鞋子”符合语境。glasses“眼镜”、hats“帽子”、coats“外套”均与徒步磨损无关。
34.句意:有一次,在神农架森林里他甚至不得不吃蛇肉来维持生存。
结合“he even had to eat snake meat to stay”可知,吃蛇肉来维持生存,stay alive是固定搭配,意为“活着、维持生命”,符合语境。live“活的”、lively“活泼的”、living“活着的”均不能与stay构成此搭配。
35.句意:他面临泥石流、狼群袭击等许多危险,但他从未放弃。
上文描述重重困难,空后表示转折,此处指面对危险从不放弃,gave up“放弃”符合语境。woke up“醒来”、stood up“站起来”、got up“起床”均与语境逻辑不符。
36.句意:他在31天内行走1100公里,成为独自完成这一壮举的第一人。
上文提到made history“创造历史”,说明是首次完成,first“第一”符合语境。last“最后的”、second“第二”、third“第三”均不符合文意。
37.句意:雷殿生徒步不只是为了乐趣。
下文讲述他记录文化、救助他人、参与环保,说明旅行不止为消遣,fun“乐趣”符合语境。money“金钱”、work“工作”、study“学习”均无法体现旅行的初衷。
38.句意:他在旅途中还帮助了其他人——他向贫困学生捐款,并参加了湖南省的洪水救援工作。
结合“in flood rescue work in Hunan Province”可知,此处指参加了洪水救援工作,joined in是固定搭配,意为“参与”,符合救援工作的语境。left“离开”、finished“完成”、started“开始”均不匹配。
39.句意:他还与传统艺术家合作,将旅行笔记转化为艺术,让更多人了解环境保护。
上文提到与传统艺术家合作,art“艺术”符合语境。songs“歌曲”、novels“小说”、poems“诗歌”均过于片面。
40.句意:对于学生来说,他在黑龙江的森林里组织徒步旅行营,孩子们在那里学习了解野生植物和当地民族文化。
结合“...wild plants and understand local ethnic cultures”可知,孩子们在那里学习了解野生植物,know“了解、认识”符合学习植物知识的语境。plant“种植”、find“找到”、grow“生长”均不恰当。
41.句意:雷殿生的故事告诉我们:真正的冒险不只是走得远。
上文讲述他徒步八万多公里,far“远”符合语境。fast“快”、slowly“慢”、early“早”均与徒步主题无关。
42.句意:这是关于爱我们的土地和保护它。
上文涉及自然环境与国土探险,land“国土、大地”符合语境。countryside“乡村”、city“城市”、village“村庄”均范围不当。

People in ancient China worked long hours each day. To relax, they invented many games. Here are some of them.
Shuttlecock
Shuttlecock (jianzi in Chinese) can go back to over 2,000 years ago during the Han Dynasty. This traditional Chinese game is very simple. It has only one rule: keep the shuttlecock in the air without using your hands. Players try to kick as many as possible. Nowadays, students have shuttlecock lessons in some schools.
Chinese yo-yo
Chinese yo-yo (kongzhu in Chinese), is an hourglass-shaped toy. It is made of wood or bamboo and played with a string. The string connects two hand sticks. This fun game is popular in north China. The players move the hand sticks up and down to let the toy go round. Some good players can even throw it up into the air and then catch it on the string.
Chuiwan
Chuiwan was one of the ball games in ancient China, which was very popular in the Song Dynasty. “Chui” means “ ” and “wan” means “ball”. This sport was similar to golf. On a large field, the players were divided into two groups. Usually there were 2 to 10 people in each group. Everyone had three chances to get the ball into holes with a stick. Only when three strikes into the hole were achieved did the player win the point.
Cuju
First recorded 2,000 years ago, cuju is known as the earliest form of football. The ball was made of leather on the outside and filled with rice bran inside. As a fun and relaxing game, cuju was used in the army to train soldiers. Its rules were similar to football’s. Each team usually had 12 or 16 players. No hands were allowed. Only feet and the head could be used. The ball should be kicked into the opposite goal.

From different TV dramas or books, we can often hear titles like quanzi, taoli and kaimo. In fact, they are part of Chinese history and culture.
In China, it’s a modest (谦虚的)way for Chinese parents to introduce their sons by calling quanzi while they use linglang to show respect for others’. Although their children are successful, they don’t usually talk about this in public. Instead, they try to play it down. This is similar to Hanshe that Chinese people may call their big houses.
There is another Chinese expression taoli mantianxia, which means a teacher has lots of students across the country, like trees full of peaches and plums (桃和李). It comes from a story about Zizhi. As a teacher, Zizhi was kind and strict. He often pointed at the peach or plum trees in his yard to ask his students to work hard.“ You should try to be a successful person in your fields, just as the peach and plum trees,” he said. Keeping these words in mind, many of his students did as he said and made it.
In Chinese, kaimo means “role model”. Both words have a “木” on their left side. People believe that kai and mo might be two kinds of trees in ancient China. It was said that there were many kai trees growing near Confucius’ tomb (孔子墓). These trees were so straight that they made people think of Confucius’ quality-straight and honest. The mo trees were said to grow near the tomb of the Duke of Zhou. The straightness and the leaves’ pure color of trees were like his wonderful quality. Since kai and mo trees grew near the tombs of two great people, kaimo was then used to stand for role models.
50. According to paragraph 2, Chinese play it down by ________.
A. inviting friends to visit their Hanshe B. calling others’ sons linglang
C. wanting their children to be successful D. calling their own sons quanzi
51. Taoli is used to refer to ________ from paragraph 3.
A. peach and plum trees B. hard-working teachers
C. flowers and fruit of trees D. successful students in their fields
52. What do kai and mo trees have in common (共同点) from the last paragraph?
A. They are both straight. B. They have pure leaves.
C. They are planted in the same place. D. Their names both have a “木”on the right side.
53. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. It tells us how to be a good teacher like Zizhi.
B. It shows us different ways Chinese people respect others.
C. It introduces some Chinese words about history and culture.
D. It explains why Chinese people like to plant trees near tombs.

Tim Berners-Lee is not the most famous inventor in the world. However, his invention has changed our lives.
He was born in London, England in 1955. When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. He made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21. Tim started working on early computers. At that time, they were much bigger than now. He worked in England then Switzerland. Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works.
How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly? He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Tim also forgot things easily. Could a computer work like a brain? Could it “talk” to other computers?
There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that.
Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today.
Most inventors want to become rich. But Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing. He now works in America. He helps people share technology and wants the Internet to be free for everyone to use. Maybe he is the most important but least famous inventor in the world today!
54. What was Tim Berners-Lee interested in?
A. Looking for jobs in different cities. B. Talking to people around the world.
C. Studying how to connect computers. D. Exploring how to improve memory.
55. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refers to “________”.
A. Working on early computers B. Connecting different facts together
C. Travelling to the office in Switzerland D. Repeating the answers to the same questions
56. Why is Tim Berners-Lee one of the most important men in the world?
A. He made information sharing on the Internet possible.
B. He made the first computer when he was 21 years old.
C. He helped people understand better how the brain works.
D. He invented the Internet and made it free for everyone to use.
【答案】54. C 55. D 56. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,介绍了万维网的发明者蒂姆·伯纳斯-李的生平、研究兴趣、发明万维网的背景及过程,以及他对互联网发展的贡献和不求名利的态度。
54. 细节理解题。根据“Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works. How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly? He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information... Could a computer work like a brain? Could it ‘talk’ to other computers?”可知,他对计算机以及计算机如何像大脑一样连接信息等相关内容感兴趣,即研究如何连接计算机。故选C。
55. 词句猜测题。根据“He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time.”可知,“It”指的是重复回答相同的问题这件事。故选D。
56. 细节理解题。根据“In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that.”可知,他发明了万维网,使互联网上的信息共享成为可能,因此他是世界上最重要的人之一。故选A。

Travelling the world is a dream for many people, but do you want to make a difference while enjoying the world? 57
Volunteer travel is an act of taking a trip where all or part of the purpose of the trip is to do voluntary work. 58 During the trip, volunteer travellers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. In exchange for their help, they may get free or cheap accommodation (住宿), meals or classes.
Volunteer travel is not a new way to explore the world. It first became popular in the 1960s. 59 However, as time goes by, more and more volunteer trips are taking place in the volunteers’ home countries.
There are many advantages of volunteer travel. First of all, volunteer travel allows you to give back to the communities you visit. Whether you’re teaching English to children, cheering up sick kids, or working with wildlife, your efforts can make a real difference in the lives of others.
60 It’s also a great way to explore new cultures, meet new people and open our minds to the world around us. By working with local people on community projects, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the places you visit and learn some valuable life skills.
In a word, you can learn a lot from a volunteer vacation, and give back to society at the same time.
A.It’s important to do your research.
B.But volunteer travel isn’t just about helping others.
C.If so, volunteer travel could be a good choice (选择) for you.
D.It’s a great way to make new friends around the world.
E.It can last anywhere from a few days to several months.
F.At first, most volunteer activities took place in a foreign country.

六、阅读回答。(共4小题;前3小题每题2分,第4题3分,满分9分)
阅读下面短文,回答短文后的问题。(前3题每题答案不超过10个词)。
Recently, a strange but interesting trend called “keeping lobsters” has become popular among young Internet users. You might be surprised—these are not real sea lobsters. They are AI agents (AI智能体), a new kind of smart computer program that can really do tasks for people.
The name comes from a popular AI tool called Open Claw, whose logo is a lobster. In the past, most AI could only chat with you or answer simple questions.They could not take real actions. But today, these “digital lobsters” are able to work like real helpers. After getting your permission, they can control your computer, manage files, write simple codes, send emails, and even organize meeting notes.
What’s more, these AI agents can learn from your habits and work independently. That is why young people joke that they are “raising” a smart digital pet. This new fashion shows clearly that AI is rapidly changing from a simple talking tool into a practical and helpful assistant in our daily life.
61.Where does the name “keeping lobsters” come from?
62.What could most AI only do in the past?
63.Why do young people joke that they are “raising” a smart digital pet?
64.Do you think AI agents will be helpful in your daily life? Why or why not?
【答案】
61.It comes from a popular AI tool called Open Claw.
62.Chatted with people or answered simple questions.
63.AI agents can learn from their habits and work independently.
64.Yes, I think so. They can help me manage my study and daily tasks efficiently.
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了网络热词 “养龙虾” 的由来,以及AI智能体从简单对话工具向实用生活助手的发展变化。
61.第二段第一句明确指出“The name comes from a popular AI tool called Open Claw”,可直接提取答案。
62.第二段提到“In the past, most AI could only chat with you or answer simple questions.”,明确了过去 AI 的能力。
6.第三段指出“these AI agents can learn from your habits and work independently. That is why young people joke that they are ‘raising’ a smart digital pet.”,直接给出了原因。
64.本题为开放性题目,答案不唯一。结合文章内容和自己对“AI 智能体”在日常生活中的看法、理由,合理即可。
七、综合填空。 (共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
When cultures meet, not just their language or clothing may be different. Often their food will be 65 (great) different too. People on both sides can discover a number of new 66 (chance) for trading (贸易). This text tells how some common food plants spread around the world.
As early as 5,000 BC, people traded potatoes in South America 67 a valuable type of food. They took them to Europe in the 68 (sixteen) century and their use soon spread across it.
Tea drinking started in China. By the early 1600s, traders had begun to ship tea from China to Europe. Tea drinking soon 69 (become) fashionable there but because of its high price, it was still a drink for the wealthy.
Sugar cane (甘蔗) was first used to make 70 kind of sweet juice over 8,000 years ago on the island of New Guinea. Its use soon spread across Southeast Asia and then to a 71 (wide) world.
People used cocoa to 72 (produce) a cold, spicy drink in Central America over 3,000 years ago. The Europeans brought it back with 73 (they) in the 1520s and added sugar to make the sweet, hot drink today. 74 it is expensive, many people love it.
【答案】
65.greatly 66.chances 67.as 68.sixteenth 69.became 70.a 71.wider 72. produce 73.them 74.Although / Though
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了不同文化交融背景下,土豆、茶、甘蔗、可可等常见食用作物在全世界的传播与贸易发展历史。
65.句意:食物通常也大不相同。括号内great是形容词,此处需要副词修饰形容词different,因此将great变为副词greatly。
66.句意:双方的人们都可以发现许多新的贸易机会。短语a number of后必须接可数名词复数,chance的复数变形为chances。
67.句意:早在公元前5000年,南美洲人就把土豆作为一种珍贵的食物进行交易。此处表达“作为”的含义,选用介词as。
68.句意:他们在16世纪将土豆带到了欧洲,很快土豆的使用就传遍了整个欧洲。表达“第几世纪”必须使用序数词,sixteen对应的序数词为sixteenth。
69.句意:喝茶的习惯很快就在当地变得流行,但因为价格高昂,还只是富人的饮品。本段整体叙述过去发生的历史事件,需要使用一般过去时,become的过去式为became。
70.句意:8000 多年前,新几内亚岛上的人们最早用甘蔗制作一种甜味汁液。固定搭配a kind of意为 “一种”,因此填不定冠词a。
71.句意:甘蔗的用途很快传遍东南亚,之后走向更广阔的世界。括号内wide需要变形修饰名词,结合语境变为形容词比较级wider。
72.句意:3000 多年前,中美洲的人们用可可制作一种辛辣的冷饮。固定结构use sth. to do sth.意为 “用某物做某事”,因此填 produce。
73.句意:16世纪20年代,欧洲人将可可带回本土,加入糖制成了如今香甜的热饮。介词with后要使用人称代词宾格,they的宾格形式为them。
74.句意:虽然它价格昂贵,但是很多人都喜爱它。前后两个分句存在让步转折逻辑关系,用让步连词Although / Though引导从句,符合语境语义。

Lei Diansheng is a famous Chinese explorer and environmental protector. Born in 1963 in a small village near Harbin, he is called “the modern Xu Xiake” for his great journey. Before starting his trip, he spent 10 years 31 . He did daily long runs to build up his strength and read many books on wild survival to learn how to 32 with dangers.
From 1998 to 2008, Lei spent 10 years walking across China. He walked about 81,000 kilometers—almost twice around the equator (赤道)! During the trip, he wore out 52 pairs of 33 and lost 19 toenails (脚趾甲). Once, he even had to eat snake meat to stay 34 in the Shennongjia Forest. He faced many dangers, like mudslides and wolf attacks, but he never 35 . In 2008, he made history by walking alone through the Lop Nur Desert—a dry, dangerous place. He walked 1,100 kilometers in 31 days and became the 36 person to do that alone.
Lei didn’t just walk for 37 . He visited all 56 ethnic groups in China, took 40,000 photos and wrote 3.2 million words in his notes. These notes became a “living record” of Chinese culture and nature. He also helped others during his trip—he gave money to poor students and 38 in flood rescue work in Hunan Province.
Now, Lei still works for travel and education. He leads teams to study the environment, like protecting the source of the Yangtze River. Last year, he took a group of scientists to collect water samples there. He also works with traditional artists to turn his travel notes into 39 , so more people can learn about environmental protection. For students, he organizes hiking camps in Heilongjiang’s forests, where kids learn to 40 wild plants and understand local ethnic cultures.
Lei’s story tells us: True adventure is not just about walking 41 . It’s about loving our 42 and protecting it. His spirit of courage and exploration will keep inspiring people for a long time.

People in ancient China worked long hours each day. To relax, they invented many games. Here are some of them.
Shuttlecock
Shuttlecock (jianzi in Chinese) can go back to over 2,000 years ago during the Han Dynasty. This traditional Chinese game is very simple. It has only one rule: keep the shuttlecock in the air without using your hands. Players try to kick as many as possible. Nowadays, students have shuttlecock lessons in some schools.
Chinese yo-yo
Chinese yo-yo (kongzhu in Chinese), is an hourglass-shaped toy. It is made of wood or bamboo and played with a string. The string connects two hand sticks. This fun game is popular in north China. The players move the hand sticks up and down to let the toy go round. Some good players can even throw it up into the air and then catch it on the string.
Chuiwan
Chuiwan was one of the ball games in ancient China, which was very popular in the Song Dynasty. “Chui” means “ ” and “wan” means “ball”. This sport was similar to golf. On a large field, the players were divided into two groups. Usually there were 2 to 10 people in each group. Everyone had three chances to get the ball into holes with a stick. Only when three strikes into the hole were achieved did the player win the point.
Cuju
First recorded 2,000 years ago, cuju is known as the earliest form of football. The ball was made of leather on the outside and filled with rice bran inside. As a fun and relaxing game, cuju was used in the army to train soldiers. Its rules were similar to football’s. Each team usually had 12 or 16 players. No hands were allowed. Only feet and the head could be used. The ball should be kicked into the opposite goal.

From different TV dramas or books, we can often hear titles like quanzi, taoli and kaimo. In fact, they are part of Chinese history and culture.
In China, it’s a modest (谦虚的)way for Chinese parents to introduce their sons by calling quanzi while they use linglang to show respect for others’. Although their children are successful, they don’t usually talk about this in public. Instead, they try to play it down. This is similar to Hanshe that Chinese people may call their big houses.
There is another Chinese expression taoli mantianxia, which means a teacher has lots of students across the country, like trees full of peaches and plums (桃和李). It comes from a story about Zizhi. As a teacher, Zizhi was kind and strict. He often pointed at the peach or plum trees in his yard to ask his students to work hard.“ You should try to be a successful person in your fields, just as the peach and plum trees,” he said. Keeping these words in mind, many of his students did as he said and made it.
In Chinese, kaimo means “role model”. Both words have a “木” on their left side. People believe that kai and mo might be two kinds of trees in ancient China. It was said that there were many kai trees growing near Confucius’ tomb (孔子墓). These trees were so straight that they made people think of Confucius’ quality-straight and honest. The mo trees were said to grow near the tomb of the Duke of Zhou. The straightness and the leaves’ pure color of trees were like his wonderful quality. Since kai and mo trees grew near the tombs of two great people, kaimo was then used to stand for role models.
50. According to paragraph 2, Chinese play it down by ________.
A. inviting friends to visit their Hanshe B. calling others’ sons linglang
C. wanting their children to be successful D. calling their own sons quanzi
51. Taoli is used to refer to ________ from paragraph 3.
A. peach and plum trees B. hard-working teachers
C. flowers and fruit of trees D. successful students in their fields
52. What do kai and mo trees have in common (共同点) from the last paragraph?
A. They are both straight. B. They have pure leaves.
C. They are planted in the same place. D. Their names both have a “木”on the right side.
53. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. It tells us how to be a good teacher like Zizhi.
B. It shows us different ways Chinese people respect others.
C. It introduces some Chinese words about history and culture.
D. It explains why Chinese people like to plant trees near tombs.
D
Tim Berners-Lee is not the most famous inventor in the world. However, his invention has changed our lives.
He was born in London, England in 1955. When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. He made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21. Tim started working on early computers. At that time, they were much bigger than now. He worked in England then Switzerland. Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works.
How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly? He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Tim also forgot things easily. Could a computer work like a brain? Could it “talk” to other computers?
There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that.
Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today.
Most inventors want to become rich. But Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing. He now works in America. He helps people share technology and wants the Internet to be free for everyone to use. Maybe he is the most important but least famous inventor in the world today!
54. What was Tim Berners-Lee interested in?
A. Looking for jobs in different cities. B. Talking to people around the world.
C. Studying how to connect computers. D. Exploring how to improve memory.
55. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refers to “________”.
A. Working on early computers B. Connecting different facts together
C. Travelling to the office in Switzerland D. Repeating the answers to the same questions
56. Why is Tim Berners-Lee one of the most important men in the world?
A. He made information sharing on the Internet possible.
B. He made the first computer when he was 21 years old.
C. He helped people understand better how the brain works.
D. He invented the Internet and made it free for everyone to use.

Travelling the world is a dream for many people, but do you want to make a difference while enjoying the world? 57
Volunteer travel is an act of taking a trip where all or part of the purpose of the trip is to do voluntary work. 58 During the trip, volunteer travellers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. In exchange for their help, they may get free or cheap accommodation (住宿), meals or classes.
Volunteer travel is not a new way to explore the world. It first became popular in the 1960s. 59 However, as time goes by, more and more volunteer trips are taking place in the volunteers’ home countries.
There are many advantages of volunteer travel. First of all, volunteer travel allows you to give back to the communities you visit. Whether you’re teaching English to children, cheering up sick kids, or working with wildlife, your efforts can make a real difference in the lives of others.
60 It’s also a great way to explore new cultures, meet new people and open our minds to the world around us. By working with local people on community projects, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the places you visit and learn some valuable life skills.
In a word, you can learn a lot from a volunteer vacation, and give back to society at the same time.
A.It’s important to do your research.
B.But volunteer travel isn’t just about helping others.
C.If so, volunteer travel could be a good choice (选择) for you.

Recently, a strange but interesting trend called “keeping lobsters” has become popular among young Internet users. You might be surprised—these are not real sea lobsters. They are AI agents (AI智能体), a new kind of smart computer program that can really do tasks for people.
The name comes from a popular AI tool called Open Claw, whose logo is a lobster. In the past, most AI could only chat with you or answer simple questions.They could not take real actions. But today, these “digital lobsters” are able to work like real helpers. After getting your permission, they can control your computer, manage files, write simple codes, send emails, and even organize meeting notes.
What’s more, these AI agents can learn from your habits and work independently. That is why young people joke that they are “raising” a smart digital pet. This new fashion shows clearly that AI is rapidly changing from a simple talking tool into a practical and helpful assistant in our daily life.
61.Where does the name “keeping lobsters” come from?
62.What could most AI only do in the past?
63.Why do young people joke that they are “raising” a smart digital pet?
64.Do you think AI agents will be helpful in your daily life? Why or why not?
