He was feeling a little 1 when he chatted with his teacher. “I just feel as if I had no 2 of my life at the moment. My parents are telling me one thing, and my friends are telling me another. Everything keeps 3 and I am not sure what I should do next.” Mr. Wang nodded his head and left the room for a moment, returning with a 4 . He set it down on the table between them and asked Zhang Wei to start. They exchanged a few turns without any real purpose before Mr. Wang spoke for the first time. “In the game of chess, who are you?” Mr. Wang asked, “At the moment, I feel like a pawn (卒子). I’m 5 in my movement and don’t have much ability,” answered Zhang Wei. “Who would you like to be?” Mr. Wang asked. “I prefer to be the queen, of course. She can move in any direction and is the most 6 piece on the chessboard,” Zhang Wei said. “Are you sure about that?” Mr. Wang added. “Of course! Isn’t it clear?” Zhang Wei answered. Mr. Wang sat back in the chair and said in a quiet, yet firm voice, “You shouldn’t be the pawn, or the queen. You need to be the 7 moving the pieces around. Stop being 8 around by others and take charge. There are too many people around us whose lives are controlled by the decisions of their bosses, their parents, their peers and the media. You are better than them, so step up and take charge! We weren’t born to be pieces moved around on a chessboard. We were born to 9 influence the world around us.” Zhang Wei understood and smiled. “Checkmate.” With that, he 10 his chair and walked out of Mr. Wang’s office, decided to change the world. 1．A．excited B．scared C．pleased D．low 2．A．doubt B．control C．idea D．experience 3．A．changing B．appearing C．moving D．complaining 4．A．notebook B．box C．chessboard D．bag 5．A．doubled B．limited C．discovered D．harmed 6．A．beautiful B．helpful C．useful D．powerful 7．A．worker B．reporter C．player D．director 8．A．turned B．gathered C．laughed D．pushed 9．A．positively B．politely C．possibly D．painfully 10．A．went up B．rose from C．left for D．sat down 【答案】 1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．B 6．D 7．C 8．D 9．A 10．B 【导语】本文讲述了张伟因生活困惑找王老师谈心，老师通过下棋比喻，教导他要掌控自己的人生，积极影响世界的故事。 【详解】1．句意：当他和老师聊天时，他感到有点低落。 根据后文他倾诉自己对生活没有方向、不确定该怎么办，可知他情绪低落。low“低落的”，符合题意。excited兴奋的、scared害怕的、pleased高兴的，均不符合他此时的情绪状态。 2．句意：我只是觉得此刻我无法掌控自己的生活。 根据后文父母和朋友给他不同建议、他不知道该怎么办，可知他缺乏对生活的“掌控”。control“控制/掌控”，符合题意。doubt怀疑、idea想法、experience经历，均不符合语境。 3．句意：一切都在变化，我不知道下一步该做什么。 根据前文父母和朋友给的建议不同，可知周围的事情在不断“变化”。changing“变化”，符合题意。appearing出现、moving移动、complaining抱怨，均不符合语境。 4．句意：王老师点点头，离开房间一会儿，拿着棋盘回来了。 根据后文两人开始下棋、提到chessboard，可知老师拿来的是“棋盘”。chessboard“棋盘”，符合题意。notebook笔记本、box盒子、bag包，均与下棋场景无关。 5．句意：那时，我觉得自己像卒，行动受限且能力不足。 根据前文张伟觉得自己像“卒子”，可知卒子在棋盘上行动受限。limited“受限的”，符合题意。doubled翻倍的、discovered被发现的、harmed受伤害的，均不符合卒子的特点。 6．句意：她可以向任何方向移动，是棋盘上最有力的棋子。 根据前文皇后可以向任何方向移动，可知她是最“强大的”棋子。powerful“强大的”，符合题意。beautiful美丽的、helpful有帮助的、useful有用的，均不符合皇后在象棋中的角色特点。 7．句意：你需要成为移动棋子的棋手。 根据后文“take charge”（掌控），可知老师希望张伟成为操控棋子的“棋手”。player“棋手/玩家”，符合题意。worker工人、reporter记者、director导演，均不符合下棋的语境。 8．句意：不要被别人推来推去，要自己做主。 根据前文“being pushed around”固定搭配，意为“被摆布/被驱使”。pushed“推/驱使”，符合题意。turned转身、gathered聚集、laughed笑，均不能构成此搭配。 9．句意：人生来就该积极地影响世界。 根据老师鼓励张伟掌控人生、改变世界，可知要用积极的态度去影响世界。positively“积极地”，符合题意。politely礼貌地、possibly可能地、painfully痛苦地，均不符合鼓励的语气。 10．句意：说完，他从椅子上起身，走出办公室。 根据后文“walked out”，可知他先从椅子上“站起来”。rose from“从……站起来”，符合题意。went up上升、left for前往、sat down坐下，均不符合起身离开的动作。 第二部分 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Monet (莫奈): A World of Light and Colors Hey, art lovers!

They are very important signals (信号). Traffic lights are usually placed at busy street corners to help control traffic. Sometimes, they are on streets near schools and shops, too. Most young children are taught what each of the colored lights means, so everybody can stay safe. The first traffic signals were used for trains. The signals were put alongside railway tracks (轨道). The color red was used to mean “stop” because it warned people of danger. A red light was also the easiest color to see from a distance. Train drivers could see the “stop” light ahead and had enough time to slow down and stop their trains. A green light was used to mean “take care” and a white light meant “go”. However, there were many dangerous accidents on the train tracks. Some train drivers thought a star shining in the night sky was a white light that meant “go”. So the signals were swapped. The “go” light was changed to green and the “take care” light was changed to white. During these times, people travelled by train or in carts pulled by horses. Years later, when cars were built, people began to drive them because they could travel much faster than horses. However, the road rules for drivers were not very clear and many people were hurt crossing the roads. Yellow warning signs had to be placed beside the roads to remind drivers to take care and allow people to cross safely. Today, towns and cities all over the world have traffic lights. Red and green lights match the signals used on the railways. Yellow lights are easy to see, so they are used to warn drivers that they should slow down and prepare to stop. 14．Why was the color red used to mean “stop”? A．It reminded people of traffic rules. B．It helped trains run smoothly. C．It gave people a warning of danger. D．It was the first color people thought of. 15．What does the underlined word “swapped” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Designed. B．Exchanged. C．Suggested. D．Compared. 16．In which order did the “take care” light develop? a. A white light  b. A green light  c. A yellow light A．a-c-b B．b-c-a C．a-b-c D．b-a-c 17．What is the passage mainly about? A．The advantages of traffic lights. B．The history of traffic lights. C．The importance of traffic lights. D．The meanings of traffic lights. 【答案】14．C 15．B 16．D 17．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了交通信号灯的演变历史与三色含义的由来。 【详解】14．根据第二段第三句“The color red was used to mean ‘stop’ because it warned people of danger.”可知，红色被用来表示“停止”是因为它能警告人们危险。 15．根据第二段末尾可知最初绿灯表示“take care”，白灯表示“go”；而第三段画线词后提到“The "go" light was changed to green and the “take care” light was changed to white”，即绿灯和白灯表示的含义发生了互换。 16．根据第二段“A green light was used to mean ‘take care’”可知最初是绿灯（b）；根据第三段“the ‘take care’ light was changed to white”可知后来变成了白灯（a）；根据第四段“Yellow warning signs... to remind drivers to take care”可知最后变成了黄灯（c）。因此发展顺序为 b→a→c。 17．通读全文可知，文章按照时间顺序介绍了交通信号灯从最初用于火车，到后来信号颜色互换，再到汽车出现后增加黄灯，直至今日全球使用的演变过程。文章主要讲述的是交通信号灯的发展历史。 C When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was always repeated throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food—something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect my kids’ weight with their value. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often stop her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having a bad influence. According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I don’t think that food is one of them,” she says. “It just makes kids worry and feel unsafe.” Instead, she suggests a well-known idea among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide different kinds of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to eat—even if that means sometimes eating more cookies than carrots. Allowing kids to eat what they want also shows them to the natural results of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sweet foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.” I’ve been trying out these methods and I’ve found that when I’m less strict, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a big difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it works.” 18．What can we learn about the writer from the first paragraph? A．She enjoys cooking healthy food. B．She is satisfied with her kids’ weight. C．She is very careful about what she eats. D．She doesn’t like the way she was fed as a child. 19．Which of the following would Markey disagree with? A．Being less strict on the food kids eat. B．Telling kids the risks of eating snacks. C．Allowing kids to eat cookies sometimes. D．Giving kids different foods at fixed times. 20．According to the “Division of Responsibility,” what should kids do? A．Eat more cookies than carrots. B．Help their parents to wash the dishes. C．Eat up healthy foods their parents give them. D．Decide by themselves what and how much to eat. 21．What does the writer think of the ways she has been trying? A．They work well on her kids. B．They cost a lot. C．They help kids lose weight. D．They are unhealthy. 【答案】18．D 19．B 20．D 21．A 【导语】本文作者以自身经历为引，结合心理学家的观点，探讨了家长应如何正确引导孩子健康饮食，提出了“责任分工”等教育理念。 【详解】18．文中第一段提到作者小时候常被叮嘱不要吃什么，“You don’t want to get fat”贯穿童年，这让她和食物的关系变得很糟，花了很多年才克服。说明她不喜欢自己小时候被喂养的方式。 19．文中第二段提到Markey的观点：“food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more”“It just makes kids worry and feel unsafe.”，说明她不赞成过多说教，因此会不同意“告诉孩子吃零食的风险”这种做法。 20．文中第三段解释了“Division of Responsibility”：“parents provide different kinds of mostly healthy foods... and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to eat”，说明孩子的责任是自己决定吃什么、吃多少。 21．文中最后一段提到“I’ve been trying out these methods and I’ve found that when I’m less strict, they do make better decisions.”，说明作者认为这些方法对孩子很有效。 D Recently, China has started a national “AI+Education” plan. It is made by five central authorities (当局，部门), including the Ministry of Education, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the National Data Administration (行政，管理). The plan tries to widely use AI in education and build a complete national AI education system by 2030. In Liaoning Province, the plan has been warmly welcomed, and cities like Shenyang and Dalian are taking the lead in carrying out pilot projects (试点项目). The plan gives first importance to using AI in all kinds of schools. In primary and middle schools, special AI classes will be widely offered. For example, several schools in Shenyang have already started AI after-school clubs. AI learning will also be provided in after-school activities and practice to improve students’ digital skills and creative problem-solving abilities. In colleges and universities, AI will be a necessary basic course for all students. Liaoning’s key universities, such as Northeastern University and Dalian University of Technology, are actively developing AI courses. At the same time, schools will change their majors to meet the needs of new industries. Vocational (职业的) schools will mainly improve their old courses to train skillful workers for smart industries. AI technology will be widely used to help teaching, school management and study. It can grade homework intelligently, give personal teaching, analyze classroom activities, and make school management more efficient (高效的). The ability to use AI will be included in teachers’ qualification and training, so that teachers can get used to the development of digital technology. By 2025, China has more than 6,000 AI companies, and the value of AI industry is over 1.2 trillion yuan. Liaoning is also home to many AI companies, with Shenyang’s Hunnan District becoming an AI industry center. But there are still problems: not enough AI talents and different development in different areas. The gap between cities like Shenyang and some less developed areas in Liaoning still needs to be narrowed. This national plan hopes to train talented people with different skills, make education more balanced, and strengthen China’s digital economy and technology-led development. 22．What can we learn about AI’s application in teaching and management? A．It has completely replaced teachers in classroom teaching. B．It focuses only on evaluating students’ academic performance. C．It helps improve teaching quality and administrative efficiency. D．It is mainly used to collect personal data of students and teachers. 23．What does the author think is the problem to the “AI+Education” development? A．The lack of support from central authorities. B．The low market value of the AI core industry. C．Too many AI companies in the country. D．The talent shortage and unbalanced regional development. 24．Why does the author mention the five important government departments in the first paragraph? A．To show the wide influence of high-tech industries. B．To stress the official importance of the action plan. C．To explain the rapid development of AI technology. D．To introduce different functions of government departments. 25．What is the text mainly about? A．China’s “AI+Education” Action Plan and the related content. B．The rapid growth of China’s artificial intelligence industry. C．Ways to improve teaching quality through digital technologies. D．Challenges in the reform of vocational education in China. 【答案】22．C 23．D 24．B 25．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国启动的国家“人工智能+教育”行动计划，包括其目标、在不同类型学校中的具体应用、人工智能技术在教学管理中的作用以及当前面临的挑战。 【详解】22．根据第三段中“AI technology will be widely used to help teaching, school management and study. It can...make school management more efficient.”可知，人工智能有助于提高教学质量和行政效率。 23．根据第四段中“But there are still problems: not enough AI talents and different development in different areas.”可知，作者认为当前面临的问题是人才短缺和区域发展不平衡。 24．根据第一段中“It is made by five central authorities, including the Ministry of Education...”可知，该计划由五个中央部门联合制定，这强调了该行动计划的重要性和官方支持力度。 25．全文围绕中国“人工智能+教育”行动计划展开，介绍了计划的目标、不同学校的实施方式、技术应用以及存在的问题。因此文章主要讲的是中国“人工智能+教育”行动计划及其相关内容。 第II卷(主观题共55分) 第四部分 词汇运用（共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分） 第一节 根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式，每空限填一词。 In 2026, many middle schools in China will have started using artificial intelligence (AI) to help with daily teaching. One of the most popular uses is AI homework grading. The AI system can check multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blank questions in just a few seconds. 26 However, some students feel uneasy about this new technology. “I get nervous because AI records every mistake I make,” said Li Mei, a 14-year-old girl from Beijing. 27 28 They notice that some students simply accept AI feedback without thinking, and then copy the correct answers directly into their notebooks. This, teachers believe, prevents students from learning from their own mistakes. Another problem is that some students might use AI to cheat. To deal with this, schools have added an AI ethics class. In this class, students learn what AI can and cannot do. 29 “I used to think it’s fine to let AI write my homework,” said Zhang Wei, a 13-year-old boy from Shanghai. “Now I know that learning is my own job.” Experts believe that learning to use AI properly is a key skill for the future. 30 They say the goal is not to ban(禁止)AI but to teach students how to use it as a helpful tool. A．This saves teachers a lot of time and energy. B．They also learn why cheating with AI is wrong. C．Schools should consider whether AI is necessary. D．Teachers also worry that students will stop thinking for themselves. E．Her classmate, Wang Tao, thinks AI makes homework more interesting. F．Just like they learn to use the internet, students need to learn AI manners. G．Some students even feel stressed because they think AI is watching them. 【答案】26．A 27．G 28．D 29．B 30．F 【导语】本文介绍了中国中学AI作业批改技术的应用现状，分析了该技术带来的便利、存在的争议与问题，以及对应的解决方法和未来发展方向。 【详解】26．根据前文“The AI system can check multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blanks in just a few seconds.”可知，AI系统批改作业的速度极快，A选项“This saves teachers a lot of time and energy.”承接前文，说明AI批改作业带来的直接好处——为老师节省大量时间和精力，与上下文逻辑连贯。故选A。 27．根据前文“However, some students feel uneasy about this new technology. ‘I get nervous because AI records every mistake I make,’ said Li Mei, a 14-year-old girl from Beijing.”可知，部分学生对AI技术感到不安，G选项“Some students even feel stressed because they think AI is watching them.”承接前文，进一步说明学生对AI的负面感受，与前文的紧张情绪相呼应。故选G。 28．根据后文“They notice that some students simply accept AI feedback without thinking, and then copy the correct answers directly into their notebooks. This, teachers believe, prevents students from learning from their own mistakes.”可知，这里在介绍老师们对AI使用的担忧，D选项“Teachers also worry that students will stop thinking for themselves.”作为段落的总起句，概括了老师的核心担忧，引出后文的具体问题描述。故选D。 29．根据前文“In this class, students learn what AI can and cannot do.”以及后文“‘I used to think it’s fine to let AI write my homework,’ said Zhang Wei, a 13-year-old boy from Shanghai. ‘Now I know that learning is my own job.’”可知，AI伦理课不仅教学生AI的能力边界，也让学生明白用AI作弊是错误的，B选项“They also learn why cheating with AI is wrong.”承接前文，补充了AI伦理课的另一项内容，与后文学生的感悟相呼应。故选B。 30．根据前文“Experts believe that learning to use AI properly is a key skill for the future.”以及后文“They say the goal is not to ban (禁止) AI but to teach students how to use it as a helpful tool.”可知，专家认为正确使用AI是未来的关键技能，F选项“Just like they learn to use the internet, students need to learn AI manners.”承接前文，将AI的使用类比为互联网的使用，说明学生需要学习AI使用规范，与后文“教学生把AI当作有用工具”的内容相契合。故选F。 第II卷(主观题共55分) 第四部分 词汇运用（共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分） 第一节 根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式，每空限填一词。 31．________ (无论何时) I visit my grandparents, they always have a warm meal waiting for me. 【答案】Whenever 【详解】句意：无论何时我去看望我的祖父母，他们总会为我准备一顿热乎的饭菜。“无论何时”对应的英文是“whenever”，句首单词首字母大写，故填Whenever。 32．Thanks for all the ________ (成员) hard work!

These usually try to show the things that are important in life, such as love, beauty and family. The most common things, from paper to clay to bamboo, are turned into objects of beauty. According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes. Paper cutting has been around for over 1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year. Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. The pieces are usually cute children or lively characters from a Chinese fairy tale or historical story. The pieces are carefully shaped by band from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and painted. It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty. 54．Why is Chinese clay art famous? 55．What do people hope to get from paper cutting and sky lanterns? (At least two points) 56．Which art form in this article would you like to learn? Why? 【答案】54． Because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. 55． They want to get happiness and good wishes from paper cutting and sky lanterns. 56． I want to learn Chinese clay art. Because I like Chinese fairy tales and historical stories. 【导语】本文主要介绍了一些中国独特的传统艺术形式。 54．根据“Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real.”可知，中国的泥塑艺术很有名，因为泥塑片很小，但看起来很真实。故填Because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. 55．根据“They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.”和“During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.”可知，人们想从剪纸和天灯中得到幸福和美好的祝愿。故填They want to get happiness and good wishes from paper cutting and sky lanterns. 56．开放性试题，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为I want to learn Chinese clay art. Because I like Chinese fairy tales and historical stories. 第七部分 书面表达（共1题；满分25分） 57．在初中三年的学习生活中,一定有许多事情（如运动会、艺术节、演讲比赛、班级出游等）给你留下了深刻的印象,成为你美好的记忆。请以“A Great Memory”为题,用英语写一篇短文,分享一件你记忆中美好的事及你的感悟。 注意事项: 1.词数100左右; 2.语句通顺,意思连贯,符合题意; 3.文中不得提及真实的人名、校名等相关信息。 A Great Memory ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 A Great Memory Over the past 3 years, there have been many great memories.

Traffic lights are usually placed at busy street corners to help control traffic. Sometimes, they are on streets near schools and shops, too. Most young children are taught what each of the colored lights means, so everybody can stay safe. The first traffic signals were used for trains. The signals were put alongside railway tracks (轨道). The color red was used to mean “stop” because it warned people of danger. A red light was also the easiest color to see from a distance. Train drivers could see the “stop” light ahead and had enough time to slow down and stop their trains. A green light was used to mean “take care” and a white light meant “go”. However, there were many dangerous accidents on the train tracks. Some train drivers thought a star shining in the night sky was a white light that meant “go”. So the signals were swapped. The “go” light was changed to green and the “take care” light was changed to white. During these times, people travelled by train or in carts pulled by horses. Years later, when cars were built, people began to drive them because they could travel much faster than horses. However, the road rules for drivers were not very clear and many people were hurt crossing the roads. Yellow warning signs had to be placed beside the roads to remind drivers to take care and allow people to cross safely. Today, towns and cities all over the world have traffic lights. Red and green lights match the signals used on the railways. Yellow lights are easy to see, so they are used to warn drivers that they should slow down and prepare to stop. 14．Why was the color red used to mean “stop”? A．It reminded people of traffic rules. B．It helped trains run smoothly. C．It gave people a warning of danger. D．It was the first color people thought of. 15．What does the underlined word “swapped” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Designed. B．Exchanged. C．Suggested. D．Compared. 16．In which order did the “take care” light develop? a. A white light  b. A green light  c. A yellow light A．a-c-b B．b-c-a C．a-b-c D．b-a-c 17．What is the passage mainly about? A．The advantages of traffic lights. B．The history of traffic lights. C．The importance of traffic lights. D．The meanings of traffic lights. C When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was always repeated throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food—something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect my kids’ weight with their value. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often stop her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having a bad influence. According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I don’t think that food is one of them,” she says. “It just makes kids worry and feel unsafe.” Instead, she suggests a well-known idea among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide different kinds of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to eat—even if that means sometimes eating more cookies than carrots. Allowing kids to eat what they want also shows them to the natural results of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sweet foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.” I’ve been trying out these methods and I’ve found that when I’m less strict, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a big difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it works.” 18．What can we learn about the writer from the first paragraph? A．She enjoys cooking healthy food. B．She is satisfied with her kids’ weight. C．She is very careful about what she eats. D．She doesn’t like the way she was fed as a child. 19．Which of the following would Markey disagree with? A．Being less strict on the food kids eat. B．Telling kids the risks of eating snacks. C．Allowing kids to eat cookies sometimes. D．Giving kids different foods at fixed times. 20．According to the “Division of Responsibility,” what should kids do? A．Eat more cookies than carrots. B．Help their parents to wash the dishes. C．Eat up healthy foods their parents give them. D．Decide by themselves what and how much to eat. 21．What does the writer think of the ways she has been trying? A．They work well on her kids. B．They cost a lot. C．They help kids lose weight. D．They are unhealthy. D Recently, China has started a national “AI+Education” plan. It is made by five central authorities (当局，部门), including the Ministry of Education, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the National Data Administration (行政，管理). The plan tries to widely use AI in education and build a complete national AI education system by 2030. In Liaoning Province, the plan has been warmly welcomed, and cities like Shenyang and Dalian are taking the lead in carrying out pilot projects (试点项目). The plan gives first importance to using AI in all kinds of schools. In primary and middle schools, special AI classes will be widely offered. For example, several schools in Shenyang have already started AI after-school clubs. AI learning will also be provided in after-school activities and practice to improve students’ digital skills and creative problem-solving abilities. In colleges and universities, AI will be a necessary basic course for all students. Liaoning’s key universities, such as Northeastern University and Dalian University of Technology, are actively developing AI courses. At the same time, schools will change their majors to meet the needs of new industries. Vocational (职业的) schools will mainly improve their old courses to train skillful workers for smart industries. AI technology will be widely used to help teaching, school management and study. It can grade homework intelligently, give personal teaching, analyze classroom activities, and make school management more efficient (高效的). The ability to use AI will be included in teachers’ qualification and training, so that teachers can get used to the development of digital technology. By 2025, China has more than 6,000 AI companies, and the value of AI industry is over 1.2 trillion yuan. Liaoning is also home to many AI companies, with Shenyang’s Hunnan District becoming an AI industry center. But there are still problems: not enough AI talents and different development in different areas. The gap between cities like Shenyang and some less developed areas in Liaoning still needs to be narrowed. This national plan hopes to train talented people with different skills, make education more balanced, and strengthen China’s digital economy and technology-led development. 22．What can we learn about AI’s application in teaching and management? A．It has completely replaced teachers in classroom teaching. B．It focuses only on evaluating students’ academic performance. C．It helps improve teaching quality and administrative efficiency. D．It is mainly used to collect personal data of students and teachers. 23．What does the author think is the problem to the “AI+Education” development? A．The lack of support from central authorities. B．The low market value of the AI core industry. C．Too many AI companies in the country. D．The talent shortage and unbalanced regional development. 24．Why does the author mention the five important government departments in the first paragraph? A．To show the wide influence of high-tech industries. B．To stress the official importance of the action plan. C．To explain the rapid development of AI technology. D．To introduce different functions of government departments. 25．What is the text mainly about? A．China’s “AI+Education” Action Plan and the related content. B．The rapid growth of China’s artificial intelligence industry. C．Ways to improve teaching quality through digital technologies. D．Challenges in the reform of vocational education in China. 第II卷(主观题共55分) 第四部分 词汇运用（共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分） 第一节 根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式，每空限填一词。 In 2026, many middle schools in China will have started using artificial intelligence (AI) to help with daily teaching. One of the most popular uses is AI homework grading. The AI system can check multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blank questions in just a few seconds. 26 However, some students feel uneasy about this new technology. “I get nervous because AI records every mistake I make,” said Li Mei, a 14-year-old girl from Beijing. 27 28 They notice that some students simply accept AI feedback without thinking, and then copy the correct answers directly into their notebooks. This, teachers believe, prevents students from learning from their own mistakes. Another problem is that some students might use AI to cheat. To deal with this, schools have added an AI ethics class. In this class, students learn what AI can and cannot do. 29 “I used to think it’s fine to let AI write my homework,” said Zhang Wei, a 13-year-old boy from Shanghai. “Now I know that learning is my own job.” Experts believe that learning to use AI properly is a key skill for the future. 30 They say the goal is not to ban(禁止)AI but to teach students how to use it as a helpful tool. A．This saves teachers a lot of time and energy. B．They also learn why cheating with AI is wrong. C．Schools should consider whether AI is necessary. D．Teachers also worry that students will stop thinking for themselves. E．Her classmate, Wang Tao, thinks AI makes homework more interesting. F．Just like they learn to use the internet, students need to learn AI manners. G．Some students even feel stressed because they think AI is watching them. 第II卷(主观题共55分) 第四部分 词汇运用（共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分） 第一节 根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式，每空限填一词。 31．________ (无论何时) I visit my grandparents, they always have a warm meal waiting for me. 32．Thanks for all the ________ (成员) hard work!
