二、单项选择.(共10小题;每小题1分, 满分10分)
1. The astronauts of Shenzhou 16 and Shenzhou 17 ________ in meeting in space on Oct. 26 2023.
A. succeed B. success C. successfully D. succeeded
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:神舟十六号和神舟十七号的宇航员于2023年10月26日在太空成功会师。
succeed成功,动词原形;success成功,名词;successfully成功地,副词;succeeded成功,动词过去式。根据句子结构可知,句中缺少谓语动词,排除名词B项和副词C项。结合时间状语“on Oct. 26 2023”可知,动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时,故空处用succeed的过去式succeeded。
2. —Come on! I know you have ________ gift ________ music.
—Sorry. But I’m in bad state of mind.
A. a; for; a B. the; in; the C. a; for; the D. /;in;a
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——加油!我知道你有音乐方面的天赋。——对不起。但我处于一种糟糕的心境中。
固定短语have a gift for... 意为“有……的天赋”,故第一空填a,第二空填for;固定用法in a ... state of mind意为“处于……的心境”,state为可数名词,此处泛指一种状态,故第三空填a。应填a;for;a。
3. —The air pollution is terrible.
—It will be worse ________ we take action to protect the environment.
A. if B. unless C. until D. when
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——空气污染很严重。 ——除非我们采取行动保护环境,否则情况会更糟。
考查从属连词辨析。if如果;unless除非,如果不;until直到;when当……的时候。根据“It will be worse”可知,此处使用unless,表示“如果我们不采取措施,空气污染的情况会更糟糕”。故选B。
4. —When shall we go to watch the latest film—Panda Plan?
—________ this Saturday.
A. Until the work will be finished B. Until the work is finished
C. Not until the work will be finished D. Not until the work is finished
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我们什么时候去看最新的电影《熊猫计划》呢?——直到工作完成才可以。这个周六。
考查not until的用法。until和not until引导时间状语从句时,主句用一般将来时,从句用一般现在时表将来。A和C选项中从句使用了一般将来时,不符合语法规则,排除A和C。B选项意思是“直到工作完成”,没有表达出“直到……才……”的意思,不符合语境。D选项“Not until the work is finished”表示“直到工作完成才……”,符合语境。故选D。
5. This piece of music ________ by that musician sounds ________. We really enjoy it.
A. was written; wonderful B. written; wonderfully
C. was written; wonderfully D. written; wonderful
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:那位音乐家创作的这首乐曲听起来很棒。我们真的很喜欢它。
句子已有谓语动词sounds,第一空需用过去分词written作后置定语修饰music,表示被动关系;sounds是系动词,后面应接形容词作表语,wonderful“极好的”(形容词),wonderfully“极好地”(副词)。应填written;wonderful。
6. —It seems that he feels lonely. What’s wrong?
—He ________ an excuse for his lateness. Nobody would like to talk with him.
A. made up B. put up C. gave up D. set up
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——他看起来很孤独。怎么了?——他编造了一个迟到的借口。没人愿意跟他说话。
make up编造;put up张贴;give up放弃;set up建立。根据“an excuse”以及后文“Nobody would like to talk with him”可知,他因为不诚实(编造借口)而导致没人理他,make up an excuse为固定搭配。
7. —________ is the number of the students in our school?
—More than ________.
A. What; three thousand
B. How much; three thousand
C. What; three thousands
D. How much; three thousands
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我们学校的学生的数目是多少?——3000多。
根据句意及题干分析,第一空问学生数目是多少应用what,What is the number of…?意为“……的数量是多少?”;第二空thousand前面有明确数词three,所以不加s。
8. —Let’s go fishing if it ________ this weekend.
—But nobody knows if it ________.
A. is fine; will rain B. will be rain; rains
C. will be fine; will rain D. is fine; rains
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——如果这周末天气好,我们去钓鱼吧。——但没人知道是否会下雨。
第一空if引导条件状语从句,意为“如果”,主句是祈使句,从句需用一般现在时表将来,填is fine;第二空if引导宾语从句,意为“是否”,根据时间状语this weekend可知,描述将来情况,应用一般将来时,填will rain。
9. — It’s a pity that my favourite ________, Tell It As It Is, has come to an end.
— So it is. It was one of the hottest programmes 10 years ago.
A. game show B. chat show C. documentary D. comedy
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】解析:句意:——真可惜我最喜欢的电视节目《实话实说》停播了。——确实如此。10年前它是最热门的节目之一。A. game show游戏竞赛节目;B. chat show访谈节目;C. documentary纪录片;D. comedy喜剧。由题干中的Tell It As It Is实话实说可知是央视的访谈节目,根据常识,可知B选项符合题意,故答案选B。
10. —Thank you for replying to my e-mail and offering me so much advice!
—________. It’s just a piece of cake.
A. The same to you B. It doesn’t matter
C. That’s not the case D. Don’t mention it
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——谢谢你回复我的邮件并给我提供了这么多建议!——不客气。这只是小菜一碟。
考查情景交际。The same to you同样祝福你;It doesn’t matter没关系;That’s not the case情况并非如此;Don’t mention it不用谢。根据“Thank you for replying to my e-mail and offering me so much advice!”可知,对方对回复邮件和提供建议表示感谢,所以此处使用“Don’t mention it”表示不必客气作为回应是合适的。故选D。

The girl wanted to help the butterfly get out. She went home and got a pair of scissors. As she cut open the cocoon, the butterfly then easily came out. However, its body was swollen and its wings were very small.
The girl still thought that she helped the butterfly. She sat there for another few hours and waited for its wings to grow. However, it didn’t happen. The butterfly wasn’t able to fly, and for the rest of its life, it could only move around with a large body and little wings.
The girl thought she was helping, but in fact, she was hurting it. When the butterfly broke free of its cocoon by itself, it was time for its body to get smaller and its wings to get stronger. So it could fly soon.

DeepSeek is a Chinese technology company focused on developing artificial intelligence (AI). Founded in 2023, its name combines “Deep” (for deep learning and “Seek” (meaning to explore). The company’s AI technology is used in smart customer service, medical diagnosis (诊断), self-driving cars, and education.
In education, DeepSeek created an AI study assistant called “Xiao Zhi” (Little Wisdom). It can analyze (分析) students’ mistakes, create personal practice questions, and even answer math problems through voice chat. A 2024 study showed that students using Xiao Zhi improved their math scores by 15% on average. Interestingly, the system also tracks students’ emotions. For example, when it detects (检测) frustration, it plays calming music to help them relax.
DeepSeek also works to teach young people about AI. It partners with 30 middle schools to offer “AT Starter Courses”. Through fun activities like programming robots and image recognition experiments (图像识别体验), students learn how AI works. CEO Zhang Feng says, “We want technology to be something students can touch, not just read about in textbooks.”
However, some challenges remain. A few parents worry that depending too much on AI might reduce children’s critical (批判) thinking. DeepSeek’s team responds that their tools are made to “assist, not replace” humans. All AI suggestions come with a “Requires Human Confirmation” notice.
Looking ahead, DeepSeek plans to use AI for environmental protection. Projects include smart cameras to identify endangered animals (like pandas) and systems to predict forest fires. As the company’s motto states: “The warmth of technology lies in serving humans. ”
33. What does DeepSeek mainly focus on?

C. Solar energy D. Movie production
34. Which function is NOT mentioned about Xiao Zhi?

【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了中国AI公司DeepSeek的发展、教育领域的AI产品“小智”、AI科普项目,以及其在环保领域的未来规划,传递了“科技服务于人”的理念。
【33题详解】
文中第一句明确提到“DeepSeek is a Chinese technology company focused on developing artificial intelligence (AI).”,说明公司的核心业务是人工智能(Artificial intelligence)。
【34题详解】
文中第二段介绍“小智”的功能时提到:It can analyze students’ mistakes, create personal practice questions(对应B);answer math problems through voice chat(对应D);track students’ emotions(对应A)。文中并未提到“Grading homework automatically(自动批改作业)”,因此C选项未被提及。
【35题详解】
划线句“The warmth of technology lies in serving humans”的意思是“科技的温度在于服务人类”,说明科技应该focus on helping people(专注于帮助人们)。
【36题详解】
文中“A 2024 study showed that students using Xiao Zhi improved their math scores by 15% on average.”和“For example, when it detects frustration, it plays calming music to help them relax.”,表示“小智”帮助学生分析错题、缓解情绪,同时也能减轻教师的部分教学负担,说明平台对师生都有帮助,C选项符合题意。

Why is the sea salt? Long before we discovered scientific ways of thinking about it, we explained it in a story. Even though the answer isn’t scientific, it holds some other truth in it-especially about the human heart.
Long ago, a poor old couple lived on the coast. One day, an old storyteller came to their village. The old couple gave him a meal. In return, he gave them a coffee mill (磨粉机) and said, “Say ‘Mill, please grind(磨粉)’and it’ll make whatever you want, to stop it, say ‘Mill, please cease(停止) grinding’.”
Soon the old couple had a much better life. They’d been happy people, and they didn’t need much more. But the young couple next door were never satisfied. When they saw the old couple wearing good clothes and buying good food, they burnt with envy (羡慕). So one day, the young husband went to the old couple’s house secretly and heard, “Mill, please grind hot chocolate!” He was surprised to see it coming out.
Then the young couple stole the mill from the old couple. With it they rode a horse and set off down the coast, where no one would know them. Along the way, the husband showed proudly and asked, “What do you want it to make?”“ Oh, I don’t know. Why not salt?” the wife said. “Mill, please grind salt!” he said. “It works!” the wife shouted. But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. “Make it stop.” the wife said. But the husband didn’t know how. “Mill, please stop grinding! Please, no more!” His words didn’t work. The mill kept grinding. Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could.
And there it’s been, for hundreds of years, endlessly grinding salt. That’s why the sea is salt.
37. The passage is probably a(n) _________.
A. folk story B. instruction C. science fiction D. science report
38. Put the things happened to the mill in correct order.
a. It began to produce salt b. The young husband threw it.
c. The young couple stole it. d. The old couple got it.
A. b-d-a-c B. b-a-d-c C. d-a-c-b D. d-c-a-b
39. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to _________.
A. The coffee. B. The horse. C. The mill. D. The chocolate.
40. How did the young husband’s feelings change?

【导语】本文是民间故事,讲述海水为什么是咸的。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Long before we discovered scientific ways of thinking about it, we explained it in a story. Even though the answer isn’t scientific, it holds some other truth in it-especially about the human heart.”可知,用故事的形式介绍了海水为什么是咸的,而且答案是不科学的,因此可推知这是一个民间故事。故选A。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。本文按故事发展情节叙述,根据第二段“In return, he gave them a coffee mill and said”老夫妇得到磨盘;第四段“Then the young couple stole the mill from the old couple”那对年轻夫妇偷走了磨盘;第四段“‘It works!’ the wife shouted. But then they noticed the salt went everywhere.”开始产盐;第四段“Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could.”年轻的丈夫扔了它。可知选项D符合故事发展顺序。故选D。
【39题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“‘Mill, please grind salt!’ he said. ‘It works!’ the wife shouted. But then they noticed the salt went everywhere.”年轻的丈夫叫磨盘出盐,磨盘开始工作,到处是盐;可知此处指“妻子叫丈夫叫停磨盘”,用it指代“the mill”。故选C。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“When they saw the old couple wearing good clothes and buying good food, they burnt with envy… Along the way, the husband showed proudly…Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could.”年轻的丈夫一开始是嫉妒的,偷到磨盘之后他是激动的;磨盘一直产盐,让他很害怕,他把磨盘扔进了海里;可知,他的感情变化是“渴望——兴奋——害怕”。故选B。

DeepSeek is a Chinese technology company focused on developing artificial intelligence (AI). Founded in 2023, its name combines “Deep” (for deep learning and “Seek” (meaning to explore). The company’s AI technology is used in smart customer service, medical diagnosis (诊断), self-driving cars, and education.
In education, DeepSeek created an AI study assistant called “Xiao Zhi” (Little Wisdom). It can analyze (分析) students’ mistakes, create personal practice questions, and even answer math problems through voice chat. A 2024 study showed that students using Xiao Zhi improved their math scores by 15% on average. Interestingly, the system also tracks students’ emotions. For example, when it detects (检测) frustration, it plays calming music to help them relax.
DeepSeek also works to teach young people about AI. It partners with 30 middle schools to offer “AT Starter Courses”. Through fun activities like programming robots and image recognition experiments (图像识别体验), students learn how AI works. CEO Zhang Feng says, “We want technology to be something students can touch, not just read about in textbooks.”
However, some challenges remain. A few parents worry that depending too much on AI might reduce children’s critical (批判) thinking. DeepSeek’s team responds that their tools are made to “assist, not replace” humans. All AI suggestions come with a “Requires Human Confirmation” notice.
Looking ahead, DeepSeek plans to use AI for environmental protection. Projects include smart cameras to identify endangered animals (like pandas) and systems to predict forest fires. As the company’s motto states: “The warmth of technology lies in serving humans. ”

Why is the sea salt? Long before we discovered scientific ways of thinking about it, we explained it in a story. Even though the answer isn’t scientific, it holds some other truth in it-especially about the human heart.
Long ago, a poor old couple lived on the coast. One day, an old storyteller came to their village. The old couple gave him a meal. In return, he gave them a coffee mill (磨粉机) and said, “Say ‘Mill, please grind(磨粉)’and it’ll make whatever you want, to stop it, say ‘Mill, please cease(停止) grinding’.”
Soon the old couple had a much better life. They’d been happy people, and they didn’t need much more. But the young couple next door were never satisfied. When they saw the old couple wearing good clothes and buying good food, they burnt with envy (羡慕). So one day, the young husband went to the old couple’s house secretly and heard, “Mill, please grind hot chocolate!” He was surprised to see it coming out.
Then the young couple stole the mill from the old couple. With it they rode a horse and set off down the coast, where no one would know them. Along the way, the husband showed proudly and asked, “What do you want it to make?”“ Oh, I don’t know. Why not salt?” the wife said. “Mill, please grind salt!” he said. “It works!” the wife shouted. But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. “Make it stop.” the wife said. But the husband didn’t know how. “Mill, please stop grinding! Please, no more!” His words didn’t work. The mill kept grinding. Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could.
And there it’s been, for hundreds of years, endlessly grinding salt. That’s why the sea is salt.

八、阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。(84、85每题2分, 86题3分, 共7分)。
In the world, China is the second-largest cotton producer (生产地). Most of the cotton grows in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区).
Cotton needs lots of heat and sunshine to grow. Xinjiang is a good place to grow it. It has lots of sunshine-about 3,000 hours every year.
Xinjiang produces over 80 percent of China’s cotton. The most famous cotton in Xinjiang is long-stapled cotton (长绒棉). Its fibers (纤维) are longer, softer, and whiter than those of other cotton. It’s warm and comfortable. It’s good for making cloth and quilts (被子). It’s one of the best kinds of cotton in the world.
Every year from August to October, Xinjiang harvests about 5 million tons of cotton. That’s a lot! But now harvesting the cotton is not a hard job for cotton farmers. Technology is here to help.
Farmers first fly a drone (无人机) to spray (喷洒) a kind of special water. It makes the cotton leaves fall. Now it’s time to drive the machine. This big machine has a huge “mouth” and sharp “teeth”. It “eats”while walking. Wow, it “eats up” all the cotton in the field! The big guy “lays eggs” next. Look, it has left some round and tall cotton “eggs”! Then, farmers can pick up the cotton.
Every year, after the harvest season, the fresh cotton is sent to the factories nearby. Here, the cotton is made into cloth and quilts.
