Have you ever talked to Siri or Alexa? These AI assistants are becoming more human-like every year. ____1____ you ask them to set an alarm, play music, or tell a joke, they respond almost instantly. But how do they understand what we are saying? The technology behind this is called Natural Language Processing (NLP). NLP allows computers to understand, interpret, and even generate human language. Without NLP, an AI assistant would be ____2____ a very expensive calculator — it could do math but couldn’t hold a conversation. Today’s AI assistants can learn from past interactions, which means they get ____3____ over time. Some can even detect emotions in your voice. If you sound sad, they might respond with softer, kinder words. However, experts warn that we should not ____4____ too much on these assistants for emotional support. They are programs, not friends. The most advanced systems can now handle multiple languages at once, switching from English to Chinese without any delay. This is ____5____ because the AI has been trained on billions of sentences from the internet. 1. A. Unless B. Whether C. Although D. Because 2. A. something like B. anything like C. nothing but D. everything except 3. A. smarter B. smart C. smartest D. the smartest 4. A. depend B. decide C. operate D. carry 5. A. possible B. possibly C. impossible D. impossibly 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 4. A 5. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了自然语言处理技术让人工智能助手听懂人类语言、不断进化，同时提醒人们不可过度依赖AI进行情感倾诉。 【1题详解】 句意：无论你是否让他们设闹钟、放音乐或讲笑话，他们几乎立刻回应。 根据“set an alarm, play music, or tell a joke”列举了多种任务情况，表示“无论”哪种情况都能回应，whether...or...固定搭配，意为“无论是……还是……”，符合语境。 【2题详解】 句意：没有NLP，人工智能助手将只不过是一个昂贵的计算器……。 根据后文“it could do math but couldn’t hold a conversation”可知它只能做数学，不能对话，强调“只不过是”，nothing but意为“只不过”，符合语境。 【3题详解】 句意：今天的人工智能助手可以从过去的互动中学习，这意味着它们随着时间推移变得更聪明。 根据“get...over time”可知表示随着时间变化的过程，暗含前后对比，用形容词比较级，get+比较级表示 “变得越来越……”，用smarter。 【4题详解】 句意：然而，专家警告我们不应该太依赖这些助手寻求情感支持。 固定搭配depend on意为“依赖”，符合“不应该太依赖”的语境。 【5题详解】 句意：这是可行的，因为人工智能利用互联网上数十亿条语句完成了训练。 系动词is后接形容词作表语，后文说明实现的原因，所以是“可行的”，用possible。 Task II Experience the convenience of smart homes. Imagine walking into your home and the lights turn on automatically, the temperature adjusts to your preference, and your favorite music starts playing — all without touching a single button. This is not a scene from a science fiction movie; it is the reality of smart homes powered by the Internet of Things (IoT). By connecting everyday objects to the internet, homeowners can control ____6____ from anywhere using their smartphones. For example, you can check if you left the oven on while you are at work, or you can unlock the door for a delivery person even when you are not home. The benefits go beyond convenience. Smart home devices can also save energy by turning off lights and heating when rooms are empty. ____7____, they can improve safety by sending alerts if a smoke detector goes off or if someone tries to break in. However, this technology also raises concerns about privacy. ____8____ information collected by smart home devices could be accessed by hackers or companies. To protect yourself, experts recommend using strong passwords and keeping your devices’ software up to date. ____9____ the potential risks, the smart home market is growing rapidly. By 2030, it is estimated that more than half of all households in developed countries will have at least one smart home device. The key is to use this technology wisely, ____10____ it can truly make our lives better. 6. A. something B. anything C. everything D. nothing 7. A. Moreover B. However C. Otherwise D. Instead 8. A. Sensitive B. Sensible C. Senseless D. Sensational 9. A. Despite B. Although C. Because D. Therefore 10. A. even though B. as if C. so that D. in case 【答案】6. C 7. A 8. A 9. A 10. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了智能家居的利弊，并指出虽然存在隐私隐患，但合理使用仍能改善生活且行业发展迅速。 【6题详解】 句意：通过将日常物品连接到互联网，房主可以使用智能手机从任何地方控制所有事物。 空前“connecting everyday objects”可知，此处表达控制所有连接的事物。选用everything，表示“所有事物”，契合智能家居全设备远程管控的语境。something 侧重“某样物品”，指代范围片面；anything多用于否定、疑问句，本句为肯定陈述句，用法不符；nothing 表“没有事物”，语义和原文相悖。 【7题详解】 句意：此外，它们可以通过在烟雾探测器响起或有人试图闯入时发送警报来提高安全性。 根据前句介绍智能家居节能优势，本句介绍安防优势，两句为递进并列逻辑。选用Moreover，表示“此外、而且”，承接前文优点，表递进关系。However表转折，Otherwise表否则，Instead表取而代之，三项均无法承接并列优点。 【8题详解】 句意：智能家居设备收集的敏感信息可能会被黑客或公司访问。 后文“could be accessed by hackers”，说明这类信息具备隐私属性。选用Sensitive，表示“敏感的”，贴合泄密语境。Sensible“明智的”，Senseless “无意义的”，Sensational“轰动的”，词义均无法修饰易被盗取的用户信息。 【9题详解】 句意：尽管存在潜在风险，智能家居市场正在迅速增长。 空后为名词短语“the potential risks”，主句“市场快速增长”和“隐患”构成让步逻辑。选用Despite，表示“尽管”，后接名词/名词短语，符合语法与让步语义。Although引导完整从句，不能搭配名词短语；Because表原因、Therefore表结果，逻辑关系和原文让步含义不符。 【10题详解】 句意：关键是明智地使用这项技术，以便它能真正让我们的生活更美好。 空前是使用技术的做法，空后是想要达到的目的，前后为目的逻辑。选用so that，表示“以便、为了”，引导目的状语从句。even though引导让步从句，as if好像（虚拟语气）均不能引导目的；in case以防，逻辑是防备坏事发生，和本句“用好技术→改善生活”目的不符。 Task III Discover the future of wearable technology.

Maya was a typical teenager. She had three social media accounts, checked her phone over a hundred times a day, and could not remember the last time she had read a physical book. Her mother often complained that Maya was “glued to that screen,” but Maya always ____16____ by saying that everyone her age did the same thing. One evening, Maya’s phone slipped from her hand and fell into a bucket of water. The screen went black. “No, no, no!” she screamed, trying to dry it with a towel. Nothing worked. The phone was dead. The first few hours were ____17____. Maya felt as if she had lost a part of herself. She kept reaching for her pocket, only to find it empty. She didn’t know what to do with her hands. She paced around her room, feeling restless and anxious. Her father noticed her suffering and sat down beside her. “You know,” he said, “when I was your age, we didn’t have any of those devices. We talked to people face to face. We went outside and played until the street lights came on.” “But how did you ____18____?” Maya asked. “How did you know what your friends were doing?” “We called them on the landline, or we just walked to their houses,” her father said with a smile. “And you know what? We were just fine.” The next day, Maya decided to turn the situation into an ____19____. She announced to her family that she would go “phone-free” for one week. Her younger brother laughed and said she would not last two days. Her mother offered to be her support. The first two days were the hardest. Maya felt bored and disconnected. But by the third day, something unexpected happened. She picked up a novel that had been sitting on her shelf for months and started reading. She lost herself in the story for hours. She also helped her mother cook dinner and ____20____ to her father about his childhood. She went for a walk in the park and noticed how beautiful the autumn leaves were. On the fifth day, Maya’s brother asked her, “Aren’t you dying to check your messages?” Maya thought about it and realized she wasn’t. In fact, she felt ____21____. She was sleeping better, concentrating more in class, and feeling less anxious. When the week was over, her mother handed her a new phone. Maya looked at it for a long time. “I’ll take it,” she said finally, “but I’m going to set some ____22____. No phones at the dinner table. No phones after 10 p.m. And only two hours of social media a day.” Her mother hugged her. “I’m proud of you,” she said. Maya’s experience taught her something important. Technology is a tool, not a master. When used wisely, it can ____23____ our lives. When used carelessly, it can steal our time and attention. The key is to find a ____24____. She started a club at school called “The Real Connection,” where students met once a week to talk, play games, and do activities — without any phones allowed. The club grew quickly. Soon, over fifty students were attending each meeting. At the end of the school year, Maya gave a speech at the assembly. “We live in an amazing time,” she said. “We have the world’s information at our fingertips. But we also have something that no technology can replace: each other. So put down your phones sometimes. Look up. Talk to the person next to you. That is where real life ____25____.” 16.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一个沉迷手机的青少年Maya在手机损坏后，尝试一周不用手机，最终发现现实生活的美好并学会平衡科技与生活的故事。 【16题详解】 句意：她妈妈经常抱怨玛雅“粘在那个屏幕上了”，但Maya总是争辩说同龄人都这样做。 根据前文妈妈抱怨她“粘在屏幕上”，以及“by saying that...”可知，玛雅是在为自己辩解/反驳。argued“反驳/争辩”符合题意。agreed同意、apologized道歉、announced宣布，均不符合。 【17题详解】 句意：最初的几个小时是痛苦的。 根据后文“felt as if she had lost a part of herself”（感觉像失去了一部分自己），可知她非常难受。painful“痛苦的”符合题意。exciting令人兴奋的、peaceful平静的、interesting有趣的，均不符合。 【18题详解】 句意：“但是你们当时是怎么活下来的？”玛雅问。 根据后文父亲解释他们当时如何联系朋友，玛雅是在问在没有手机的情况下如何“生存/应付”。survive“生存/挺过来”符合题意。communicate沟通、compete竞争、complain抱怨，均不符合。 【19题详解】 句意：Maya决定把这种情况变成一个实验。 根据后文她宣布尝试一周不用手机，这是一个“实验”。experiment“实验”符合题意。excuse借口、explanation解释、exception例外，均不符合。 【20题详解】 句意：她还帮妈妈做饭，听爸爸讲他的童年。 根据后文“to her father about his childhood”，可知是“听”爸爸讲述。listened“听”符合题意（listened to听）。shouted喊叫、lied撒谎、pointed指向，均不符合。 【21题详解】 句意：事实上，她感觉更轻松了。  根据后文“sleeping better, concentrating more...feeling less anxious”（睡得更好、更专注、不那么焦虑），可知她感觉“更轻松了”。lighter“更轻松的”符合题意。heavier更沉重、angrier更生气、sadder更难过，均不符合。 【22题详解】 句意：我会用它，但我要设一些界限。 根据后文“No phones at the dinner table...only two hours of social media a day”（餐桌上不用手机、每天只能两小时社交媒体），可知她设置了“界限/规则”。boundaries“界限/规则”符合题意。records记录、examples例子、standards标准，均不符合。 【23题详解】 句意：当明智地使用时，它可以丰富我们的生活。 根据后文“When used carelessly, it can steal our time and attention”（当粗心使用时，它会偷走我们的时间和注意力），此处形成对比，明智使用应是“丰富”生活。enrich“丰富”符合题意。limit限制、simplify简化、destroy摧毁，均不符合。 【24题详解】 句意：关键是找到平衡。 根据全文主旨——既不完全拒绝科技，也不过度依赖，可知关键是找到“平衡”。balance“平衡”符合题意。job工作、reason理由、way方式，均不如balance贴合主题。 【25题详解】 句意：那是真实生活发生的地方。 根据全文主旨——真实的生活在于人与人之间的真实连接，此处表达“生活真正发生的地方”。happens“发生”符合题意。ends结束、hides躲藏、begins开始。 三、阅读理解(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) 请认真阅读下列材料，从材料后各题所给的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。 Task V Debate: Should social media be banned for teenagers under 16? A The big debate Should social media be banned for teenagers under 16? When you hear the words “social media”, you might think of sharing photos, chatting with friends, and watching funny videos. But many parents, teachers, and doctors are worried about the effects of social media on young people’s mental health. A recent study found that teenagers who spend more than three hours a day on social media are twice as likely to experience anxiety and depression. What do you think? Should social media be banned for teenagers under 16? Yes： 1. Social media platforms are designed to be addictive. They use algorithms that keep users scrolling for as long as possible. Teenagers’ brains are still developing, making them especially vulnerable to this manipulation. 2. Cyberbullying is a serious problem. Nearly 60% of teenagers have experienced some form of online harassment. Banning social media would remove this platform for bullies and protect young people’s mental health. 3. Social media promotes unrealistic beauty standards and constant social comparison, which leads to low self-esteem, eating disorders, and body image issues. A ban would give teenagers a chance to develop healthy self-worth away from these harmful influences. No： 1. A ban would be impossible to enforce. Teenagers would find ways around it, such as lying about their age or using friends’ accounts. This would teach them to be dishonest rather than teaching responsible use. 2. Social media helps teenagers stay connected with friends and family, especially those who live far away. For teenagers who feel isolated or have difficulty making friends in person, social media can provide valuable social support. 3. Instead of a ban, we should teach digital literacy skills. Teenagers need to learn how to recognize misinformation, protect their privacy, and use social media in healthy ways. Education is more effective than prohibition. What do you think? Now that you’ve read a bit more about this issue, visit teens.theweekjunior.com/polls so you can vote in our debate. Vote YES if you think social media should be banned for teenagers under 16 or NO if you don’t. We’ll publish the results next week. 26. According to the “YES” side, why are teenagers especially vulnerable to social media addiction? A. They have more free time than adults. B. Their brains are still developing. C. They are more interested in technology. D. They have fewer responsibilities. 27. What solution does the “NO” side propose instead of a ban? A. Limiting screen time to one hour per day. B. Requiring parental permission for accounts. C. Teaching digital literacy skills. D. Creating a separate social media platform for teenagers. 28. Which part of a website is this passage probably taken from? A. Sports. B. Entertainment. C. Health & Lifestyle. D. Travel. 【答案】26. B 27. C 28. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了是否应该禁止16岁以下青少年使用社交媒体，呈现了支持和反对双方的观点。 【26题详解】 根据“Yes”部分第一点中“Teenagers’ brains are still developing, making them especially vulnerable to this manipulation.”可知，因为青少年的大脑仍在发育。选项B“Their brains are still developing.”符合。 【27题详解】 根据“No”部分第三点中“Instead of a ban, we should teach digital literacy skills.”可知，他们主张教授数字素养技能。选项C“Teaching digital literacy skills.”符合。 【28题详解】 文章讨论社交媒体对青少年心理健康的影响，属于健康与生活方式板块。选项C“Health & Lifestyle.”符合。 Task VI See how teenagers are using AI to solve environmental problems. B Students at a high school in Seattle, with the help of their computer science teacher, have developed an AI system that identifies and sorts recyclable materials. The system, called “EcoSort”, uses a camera and a machine learning model to recognize different types of waste—plastic, glass, paper, and metal—and then directs them into the correct bins. In just six months, the school has increased its recycling rate from 35% to 82%. “We were horrified when we saw how much recyclable material was being thrown into the trash,” said 17-year-old David Kim, who led the project. “Our janitor told us that most people don’t know which bin to use, or they’re just too lazy to figure it out. So we decided to build something that would make the right choice automatic.” Ms. Rodriguez, who teaches computer science at the school, thought her students might have the skills needed to tackle real-world problems. “To see young people using artificial intelligence to make a positive environmental impact is incredibly inspiring,” she says. Ms. Rodriguez, along with a software engineer from a local tech company named Sarah Chen, worked with students on a project they called “AI for Earth”. The project had two parts—one was developing the EcoSort sorting system, and the other was creating an educational app that teaches users about recycling through games and quizzes. The two adults worked with students from ninth to twelfth grade. They had the same basic question for all the students: “What environmental problem in your community can you solve with AI?” Students working on EcoSort had to collect thousands of images of different types of waste. They then used these images to train a machine learning model to recognize each material. The model had to learn to distinguish between a plastic water bottle and a glass soda bottle, even if they were crushed or dirty. It was challenging work, but the students persevered. Other students took part in creating the educational app, which included a recycling guide, a “what goes where” search function, and a point system that rewarded users for correct sorting. The app has been downloaded over 10,000 times by families in the Seattle area. The students hope to expand EcoSort to other schools and even to public recycling centers. “This is just the beginning,” David said. “AI has so much potential to help the environment. We just have to be creative about how we use it.” 29. What problem does EcoSort aim to solve? A. People produce too much waste. B. People put recyclable materials in the wrong bins. C. Recycling bins are too expensive. D. There are not enough recycling centers. 30. What can we know about the project from the passage? A. It was completed by Ms. Rodriguez alone. B. It included a sorting system and an educational app. C. It asked students to buy expensive cameras. D. It has already been used in all Seattle schools. 31. Which words best describe Ms. Rodriguez and her students? A. Creative and lazy. B. Innovative and hardworking. C. Honest and humorous. D. Quiet and shy. 【答案】29. B 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了西雅图一所高中的师生利用人工智能开发“EcoSort”系统和教育APP，解决垃圾分类错误问题，提高了回收率，体现了学生的创新精神和社会责任感。 【29题详解】 第二段指出：“Our janitor told us that most people don’t know which bin to use, or they’re just too lazy to figure it out. So we decided to build something that would make the right choice automatic.”EcoSort旨在解决人们因不知道或懒惰而将可回收材料放入错误垃圾桶的问题。 【30题详解】 第四段指出：“The project had two parts—one was developing the EcoSort sorting system, and the other was creating an educational app…”该项目包括一个分类系统和一个教育应用程序。 【31题详解】 第一段提到“Students at a high school in Seattle, with the help of their computer science teacher, have developed an AI system that identifies and sorts recyclable materials.”师生利用AI技术解决环保问题，体现了innovative“创新性”；第五段提到“It was challenging work, but the students persevered.”他们面对挑战坚持不懈，体现了hardworking“勤奋”。 Task VII Experience a future where AI becomes a companion. C Kai had never had many friends. He was the kind of boy who sat alone at lunch, read books in the corner of the playground, and spoke so softly that teachers often had to ask him to repeat himself. His parents worried about him constantly. So when the school counselor suggested they buy Kai a “Companion AI”—a small robot designed to provide emotional support and social practice—they agreed immediately. The robot arrived in a plain white box. Its name was “Nova”. Nova was small enough to fit in Kai’s backpack, with round blue eyes and a voice that sounded kind but not overly cheerful. “Hello, Kai,” Nova said when Kai first turned it on. “I’m happy to meet you. What would you like to talk about?” For the first few days, Kai wasn’t sure what to say. But Nova never rushed him, never laughed at him, and never seemed impatient. Slowly, Kai began to open up. He told Nova about his love for astronomy. He shared his drawings. He even practiced conversations with Nova, learning how to ask questions and listen to answers. “It’s working!” his mother told his father after a month. “He seems happier. He even made eye contact with the cashier at the grocery store.” But not everyone was pleased. Kai’s grandmother, who had flown in from Korea to visit, watched Kai talk to Nova for an hour. She did not say anything at first. But on the third night, she sat down next to Kai and asked, “Would you like to talk to me instead?” Kai looked at Nova, then at his grandmother. “But Nova always listens,” he said. “Nova never gets bored.” His grandmother smiled sadly. “I will never get bored of you, Kai. I am your grandmother. But you have to give me a chance. Real people are not perfect. We make mistakes. We say the wrong thing sometimes. But that is what makes relationships real.” Kai thought about this. He turned off Nova and put it on the shelf. He and his grandmother talked for two hours that night. She told him stories about growing up in Seoul, about meeting his grandfather, about the first time she held his father as a baby. Kai listened, and for the first time in a long time, he felt truly connected. Over the next few weeks, Kai started using Nova less and less. He joined the school’s astronomy club. He made a friend named Leo who also loved star charts. He still used Nova sometimes to practice conversations, but he no longer needed it to feel less alone. On Kai’s birthday, his grandmother gave him a gift: a handmade journal with the words “Real Connections” written on the cover. “Nova is a tool,” she said. “But this journal is for you to write down the real conversations you have with real people. That is where life happens.” Kai hugged her. He understood now that technology could help, but it could never replace the messy, beautiful, imperfect reality of human connection. 32. Why did Kai’s parents buy the Companion AI? A. He was struggling with his schoolwork. B. He had difficulty making friends and talking to people. C. He asked for a robot for his birthday. D. His teacher required it for class. 33. What did Kai learn from talking with his grandmother? A. Nova was more interesting than his grandmother. B. Real relationships are imperfect but valuable. C. He should only talk to AI companions. D. His grandmother did not like technology. 34. What does the word “connected” in paragraph 8 most likely mean? A. Turned on a device. B. Felt a sense of closeness. C. Joined a club. D. Used the internet. 35. What is the main message of this story? A. AI companions are better than real friends. B. Parents should not buy technology for their children. C. Technology can help but cannot replace real human relationships. D. Astronomy is a good hobby for shy children. 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述性格内向、不善交友的男孩Kai在陪伴机器人Nova的帮助下慢慢变得开朗，后在奶奶的开导下明白人工智能只能作为辅助，无法替代真实的人际交往的故事。 【32题详解】 原文第一段：“Kai had never had many friends...spoke so softly that teachers often had to ask him to repeat himself...the school counselor suggested they buy Kai a ‘Companion AI’”，说明Kai难以交友、与人交流困难，因此父母选购陪伴机器人。 【33题详解】 原文第七段祖母的原话：“Real people are not perfect...But that is what makes relationships real”，Kai听后与奶奶交谈，感到真正的连接，因此他学到真实的关系虽然不完美但有价值。 【34题详解】 第八段前文提到“He and his grandmother talked for two hours that night...”，Kai和祖母谈心、倾听往事，由此推测connected表示“内心产生亲近感、拉近心灵距离”，即Felt a sense of closeness。 【35题详解】 文章结尾：“technology could help, but it could never replace the messy, beautiful, imperfect reality of human connection”，点明主旨：科技可以提供帮助，但无法替代真实的人际交往。 Task VIII Explore the future of quantum computing. D For more than fifty years, computer chips have gotten smaller, faster, and more powerful every year. This trend, known as Moore’s Law, has driven the digital revolution that transformed our world. But now, scientists say we are approaching the physical limits of traditional computing. The transistors inside computer chips are so small—just a few nanometers wide—that they are approaching the size of individual atoms. At this scale, electrons don’t behave predictably, and chips can overheat easily. Many experts believe that within ten years, we will not be able to make traditional computers significantly faster. This is where quantum computing comes in. Quantum computers do not use bits (which are either 0 or 1). Instead, they use quantum bits, or “qubits”, which can be 0, 1, or both at the same time—a state called superposition. This allows quantum computers to perform many calculations simultaneously rather than one after another. For certain types of problems, a quantum computer could be millions of times faster than the best traditional supercomputer. Dr. Aisha Khan is a physicist at the California Institute of Technology. “For everyday tasks like checking email or streaming video, you will never need a quantum computer,” she explains. “But for problems like simulating molecules to design new drugs, optimizing supply chains for global shipping, or breaking the encryption that protects our online data, quantum computers will be revolutionary.” However, building a practical quantum computer is extremely difficult. Qubits are very fragile. They must be kept at temperatures close to absolute zero (-273°C) to prevent outside interference from destroying their quantum state. Even a single stray particle of heat or light can cause errors. Because of this challenge, quantum computers are currently massive, expensive machines that only a few research labs and large companies possess. Despite these obstacles, progress is being made. In 2024, a company called QuantumX announced a 1,000-qubit processor, a major milestone. Scientists predict that within ten to twenty years, quantum computers will become powerful enough to solve problems that are currently impossible. “We are at the beginning of a new era,” says Dr. Khan. “Traditional computing gave us the internet and smartphones. Quantum computing will give us things we cannot even imagine yet.” 36. What problem does the passage say traditional computers are facing? A. They are becoming too expensive to produce. B. They are reaching physical limits in getting faster. C. They are being replaced by smartphones. D. They consume too much electricity. 37. What makes quantum computers potentially much faster than traditional computers? A. They use more electricity. B. They have more transistors. C. They can perform many calculations at the same time. D. They operate at room temperature. 38. What is one major challenge in building quantum computers? A. They are too slow for everyday tasks. B. They must be kept extremely cold to work properly. C. They cannot solve useful problems. D. They are too small to see. 39. According to Dr. Khan, what kind of problems will quantum computers be good for? A. Sending emails and watching videos. B. Playing video games. C. Designing new drugs and breaking encryption. D. Word processing and spreadsheets. 40. Which is the best title for this passage? A. The End of Traditional Computers B. Quantum Computing: The Next Frontier C. How to Build a Quantum Computer at Home D. Why You Need a Quantum Computer Today 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. B 39. C 40.

A) 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在短文后表格中第1~8小题的空格里填入最恰当的单词，回答第9小题。 注意：第1~8小题每个空格只填1个单词；第9小题不少于20个词。 When we think about artificial intelligence in healthcare, many people imagine robots performing surgeries or computers replacing doctors. But the reality is more nuanced and, in many ways, more hopeful. AI is not replacing healthcare professionals — it is partnering with them to provide better care. This partnership, when done right, creates a symbiotic relationship where both humans and machines contribute what they do best. Let’s start with diagnosis. AI systems can analyze medical images such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs much faster than humans can. They can detect tiny abnormalities — spots on a lung, a slight irregularity in a brain scan — that a tired radiologist might miss. In studies, AI has been shown to identify certain types of cancer with greater accuracy than human doctors. However, AI does not understand the patient’s personal history, their family situation, or their fears. AI cannot explain a diagnosis with empathy or answer unexpected questions. That is where the human doctor comes in. The doctor takes the AI’s findings, combines them with their clinical judgment and knowledge of the patient, and makes the final call. The result is better than either could achieve alone. Another exciting area is personalized medicine. AI can analyze a patient’s genetic information, lifestyle data, and medical history to predict which treatments are most likely to work for that specific individual. This is especially valuable in cancer treatment, where the same drug might help one patient but not another. AI can also predict which patients are at risk of developing certain conditions, allowing doctors to intervene early. But again, AI is just a tool. It cannot build a trusting relationship with a patient. It cannot hold a patient’s hand during a difficult diagnosis or celebrate a recovery. Only humans can do that. In hospitals, AI is being used to predict which patients are likely to get worse. By analyzing data from monitors, lab results, and nursing notes, AI can alert doctors to subtle signs of deterioration hours before they would be noticeable to the human eye. This gives medical teams precious time to intervene. A study at a major hospital found that using such an AI system reduced unexpected deaths by 26%. Yet, the AI did not save those lives by itself. It alerted the human nurses and doctors, who then took action. The human-AI team was far more effective than either working alone. Of course, there are challenges. AI systems are only as good as the data they are trained on. If the training data is biased, the AI’s recommendations will be biased too. For example, an AI trained mostly on data from male patients might perform poorly on female patients. This is why human oversight is essential. Humans must check the AI’s work, question its conclusions, and correct its mistakes. The future of healthcare is not humans versus AI. It is humans with AI. When we design systems that respect the unique strengths of both — AI’s speed, accuracy, and data-processing power, and humans’ empathy, judgment, and creativity — we create something truly powerful. The goal is not to automate healthcare but to augment it. Human-AI Partnerships in Healthcare What is the main idea? AI and humans can work together ____56____ to provide better healthcare than either could alone. AI in Diagnosis AI analyzes medical images quickly and can detect tiny ____57____. Human doctors provide clinical judgment, knowledge of the patient, and ____58____. AI in Personalized Medicine AI analyzes genetic information and medical history to ____59____ which treatments will work best. Humans build ____60____ relationships and provide emotional support. AI in Hospitals AI predicts which patients may get ____61____, alerting doctors hours in advance. Human nurses and doctors take ____62____ based on the AI’s alerts. Challenges AI systems can be ____63____ if trained on incomplete data. Human oversight is essential to check and correct the AI’s work. Your idea: Share one example from your own life or imagination of how AI and humans could work together in a healthcare situation. Write at least 20 words. _____________64_____________ 【答案】56. symbiotically 57. abnormalities 58. empathy 59. predict 60. trusting 61. worse 62. action 63. biased 64. In my community, an AI system could help the local clinic by analyzing patient symptoms and suggesting possible causes. Then the doctor would use their training to make the final diagnosis. Together, they could see more patients more quickly. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了人工智能（AI）在医疗领域并非取代人类，而是与医护人员合作，通过各自的优势提供更好的医疗服务，同时也指出了面临的挑战。 【56题详解】 根据文章第1段“This partnership, when done right, creates a symbiotic relationship where both humans and machines contribute what they do best.（如果这种合作方式得当，就能实现一种互利共赢的关系：人类和机器都能发挥各自的优势，为共同的目标做出贡献）”可推知，人类和AI一起工作能更有效地提供医疗照顾。此处修饰动词work together，需用副词形式。故填symbiotically。 【57题详解】 根据文章第2段“They can detect tiny abnormalities — spots on a lung, a slight irregularity in a brain scan.…（它们可以检测出微小的异常——肺上的斑点、脑部扫描中的轻微不规则……）”可推知，AI能快速分析医学图像并检测微小的异常。故填abnormalities。 【58题详解】 根据文章第2段“AI cannot explain a diagnosis with empathy...That is where the human doctor comes in.（人工智能无法带着同理心解释诊断……这就是人类医生发挥作用的地方）”以及第5段“humans’ empathy, judgment, and creativity（人类的同理心、判断力和创造力）”可推知，人类医生提供临床判断、患者知识以及同理心。故填empathy。 【59题详解】 根据文章第3段“AI can analyze a patient’s genetic information, lifestyle data, and medical history to predict which treatments are most likely to work…（人工智能可以分析患者的遗传信息、生活方式数据和病史，以预测哪种治疗最可能起作用……）”可推知，AI分析信息是为了预测哪种治疗最有效。故填predict。 【60题详解】 根据文章第3段“It cannot build a trusting relationship with a patient…Only humans can do that.（它无法与患者建立信任关系……只有人类能做到这一点）”可推知，人类建立信任关系并提供情感支持。故填trusting。 【61题详解】 根据文章第4段“In hospitals, AI is being used to predict which patients are likely to get worse.（在医院里，人工智能被用来预测哪些患者可能会病情恶化）”可推知，AI预测哪些患者可能会变得更糟。故填worse。 【62题详解】 根据文章第4段“It alerted the human nurses and doctors, who then took action.（它向人类护士和医生发出警报，然后他们采取了行动）”可推知，人类医护人员根据AI的警报采取行动。take action为固定搭配。故填action。 【63题详解】 根据文章第5段“If the training data is biased, the AI’s recommendations will be biased too.（如果训练数据有偏差，人工智能的建议也会有偏差）”可推知，如果基于不完整或有偏差的数据训练，AI系统可能会有偏差。故填biased。 【64题详解】 本题为开放性试题，要求结合生活或想象举例说明AI与人类在医疗中的合作，答案合理即可，词数不少于20词。 Task XI Let’s travel to Mars with the help of the latest space technology! B) 请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为65~74的相应位置上。 Imagine living on Mars. For most of human history, this idea was purely science fiction. But thanks to rapid advances in space technology, the first human mission to Mars is now scheduled for the early 2030s. This a____65____ project is the result of teamwork between NASA, SpaceX, and space agencies from several other countries. The journey to Mars is incredibly long—about 225 million kilometers on average. Using current technology, it would take astronauts about seven months to get there. During this time, they would be exposed to high levels of space radiation, which can damage the human body. Scientists are working on new shielding materials to p____66____ astronauts from this danger. Once astronauts arrive on Mars, they will face even more c____67____. The temperature on Mars can drop to -80 degrees Celsius. The atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide, so humans cannot breathe it. There is no liquid water on the surface. To survive, astronauts will need to bring everything they need—or learn to make it on Mars using local materials. This is called “in-situ resource utilization”. For e____68____, astronauts might extract water from ice buried beneath the Martian soil and break down carbon dioxide to produce oxygen. One of the most exciting developments is the creation of a prototype Mars habitat here on Earth. Located in a desert in Utah, this habitat is designed to be as similar as possible to what the first Mars base will look like. Scientists live there for months at a time, testing the life support systems, food production methods, and e____69____ suits. They keep detailed journals about every challenge they face. These journals are then used to i____70____ the design before the real mission. The first humans to walk on Mars will not just be explorers—they will be pioneers. They will build the first permanent settlement on a____71____ world. This will require incredible courage, creativity, and cooperation. As one NASA engineer said, “We are not just building a spaceship. We are building a b____72____ to a new chapter in human history.” Many young people today dream of becoming part of this adventure. Schools around the world have started “Mars Clubs” where students learn about space science, engineering, and even how to grow food in s____73____ environments.

The first few hours were ____17____. Maya felt as if she had lost a part of herself. She kept reaching for her pocket, only to find it empty. She didn’t know what to do with her hands. She paced around her room, feeling restless and anxious. Her father noticed her suffering and sat down beside her. “You know,” he said, “when I was your age, we didn’t have any of those devices. We talked to people face to face. We went outside and played until the street lights came on.” “But how did you ____18____?” Maya asked. “How did you know what your friends were doing?” “We called them on the landline, or we just walked to their houses,” her father said with a smile. “And you know what? We were just fine.” The next day, Maya decided to turn the situation into an ____19____. She announced to her family that she would go “phone-free” for one week. Her younger brother laughed and said she would not last two days. Her mother offered to be her support. The first two days were the hardest. Maya felt bored and disconnected. But by the third day, something unexpected happened. She picked up a novel that had been sitting on her shelf for months and started reading. She lost herself in the story for hours. She also helped her mother cook dinner and ____20____ to her father about his childhood. She went for a walk in the park and noticed how beautiful the autumn leaves were. On the fifth day, Maya’s brother asked her, “Aren’t you dying to check your messages?” Maya thought about it and realized she wasn’t. In fact, she felt ____21____. She was sleeping better, concentrating more in class, and feeling less anxious. When the week was over, her mother handed her a new phone. Maya looked at it for a long time. “I’ll take it,” she said finally, “but I’m going to set some ____22____. No phones at the dinner table. No phones after 10 p.m. And only two hours of social media a day.” Her mother hugged her. “I’m proud of you,” she said. Maya’s experience taught her something important. Technology is a tool, not a master. When used wisely, it can ____23____ our lives. When used carelessly, it can steal our time and attention. The key is to find a ____24____. She started a club at school called “The Real Connection,” where students met once a week to talk, play games, and do activities — without any phones allowed. The club grew quickly. Soon, over fifty students were attending each meeting. At the end of the school year, Maya gave a speech at the assembly. “We live in an amazing time,” she said. “We have the world’s information at our fingertips. But we also have something that no technology can replace: each other. So put down your phones sometimes. Look up. Talk to the person next to you. That is where real life ____25____.” 16.

A The big debate Should social media be banned for teenagers under 16? When you hear the words “social media”, you might think of sharing photos, chatting with friends, and watching funny videos. But many parents, teachers, and doctors are worried about the effects of social media on young people’s mental health. A recent study found that teenagers who spend more than three hours a day on social media are twice as likely to experience anxiety and depression. What do you think? Should social media be banned for teenagers under 16? Yes： 1. Social media platforms are designed to be addictive. They use algorithms that keep users scrolling for as long as possible. Teenagers’ brains are still developing, making them especially vulnerable to this manipulation. 2. Cyberbullying is a serious problem. Nearly 60% of teenagers have experienced some form of online harassment. Banning social media would remove this platform for bullies and protect young people’s mental health. 3. Social media promotes unrealistic beauty standards and constant social comparison, which leads to low self-esteem, eating disorders, and body image issues. A ban would give teenagers a chance to develop healthy self-worth away from these harmful influences. No： 1. A ban would be impossible to enforce. Teenagers would find ways around it, such as lying about their age or using friends’ accounts. This would teach them to be dishonest rather than teaching responsible use. 2. Social media helps teenagers stay connected with friends and family, especially those who live far away. For teenagers who feel isolated or have difficulty making friends in person, social media can provide valuable social support. 3. Instead of a ban, we should teach digital literacy skills. Teenagers need to learn how to recognize misinformation, protect their privacy, and use social media in healthy ways. Education is more effective than prohibition. What do you think? Now that you’ve read a bit more about this issue, visit teens.theweekjunior.com/polls so you can vote in our debate. Vote YES if you think social media should be banned for teenagers under 16 or NO if you don’t. We’ll publish the results next week. 26. According to the “YES” side, why are teenagers especially vulnerable to social media addiction? A. They have more free time than adults. B. Their brains are still developing. C. They are more interested in technology. D. They have fewer responsibilities. 27. What solution does the “NO” side propose instead of a ban? A. Limiting screen time to one hour per day. B. Requiring parental permission for accounts. C. Teaching digital literacy skills. D. Creating a separate social media platform for teenagers. 28. Which part of a website is this passage probably taken from? A. Sports. B. Entertainment. C. Health & Lifestyle. D. Travel. Task VI See how teenagers are using AI to solve environmental problems. B Students at a high school in Seattle, with the help of their computer science teacher, have developed an AI system that identifies and sorts recyclable materials. The system, called “EcoSort”, uses a camera and a machine learning model to recognize different types of waste—plastic, glass, paper, and metal—and then directs them into the correct bins. In just six months, the school has increased its recycling rate from 35% to 82%. “We were horrified when we saw how much recyclable material was being thrown into the trash,” said 17-year-old David Kim, who led the project. “Our janitor told us that most people don’t know which bin to use, or they’re just too lazy to figure it out. So we decided to build something that would make the right choice automatic.” Ms. Rodriguez, who teaches computer science at the school, thought her students might have the skills needed to tackle real-world problems. “To see young people using artificial intelligence to make a positive environmental impact is incredibly inspiring,” she says. Ms. Rodriguez, along with a software engineer from a local tech company named Sarah Chen, worked with students on a project they called “AI for Earth”. The project had two parts—one was developing the EcoSort sorting system, and the other was creating an educational app that teaches users about recycling through games and quizzes. The two adults worked with students from ninth to twelfth grade. They had the same basic question for all the students: “What environmental problem in your community can you solve with AI?” Students working on EcoSort had to collect thousands of images of different types of waste. They then used these images to train a machine learning model to recognize each material. The model had to learn to distinguish between a plastic water bottle and a glass soda bottle, even if they were crushed or dirty. It was challenging work, but the students persevered. Other students took part in creating the educational app, which included a recycling guide, a “what goes where” search function, and a point system that rewarded users for correct sorting. The app has been downloaded over 10,000 times by families in the Seattle area. The students hope to expand EcoSort to other schools and even to public recycling centers. “This is just the beginning,” David said. “AI has so much potential to help the environment. We just have to be creative about how we use it.” 29. What problem does EcoSort aim to solve? A. People produce too much waste. B. People put recyclable materials in the wrong bins. C. Recycling bins are too expensive. D. There are not enough recycling centers. 30. What can we know about the project from the passage? A. It was completed by Ms. Rodriguez alone. B. It included a sorting system and an educational app. C. It asked students to buy expensive cameras. D. It has already been used in all Seattle schools. 31. Which words best describe Ms. Rodriguez and her students? A. Creative and lazy. B. Innovative and hardworking. C. Honest and humorous. D. Quiet and shy. Task VII Experience a future where AI becomes a companion. C Kai had never had many friends. He was the kind of boy who sat alone at lunch, read books in the corner of the playground, and spoke so softly that teachers often had to ask him to repeat himself. His parents worried about him constantly. So when the school counselor suggested they buy Kai a “Companion AI”—a small robot designed to provide emotional support and social practice—they agreed immediately. The robot arrived in a plain white box. Its name was “Nova”. Nova was small enough to fit in Kai’s backpack, with round blue eyes and a voice that sounded kind but not overly cheerful. “Hello, Kai,” Nova said when Kai first turned it on. “I’m happy to meet you. What would you like to talk about?” For the first few days, Kai wasn’t sure what to say. But Nova never rushed him, never laughed at him, and never seemed impatient. Slowly, Kai began to open up. He told Nova about his love for astronomy. He shared his drawings. He even practiced conversations with Nova, learning how to ask questions and listen to answers. “It’s working!” his mother told his father after a month. “He seems happier. He even made eye contact with the cashier at the grocery store.” But not everyone was pleased. Kai’s grandmother, who had flown in from Korea to visit, watched Kai talk to Nova for an hour. She did not say anything at first. But on the third night, she sat down next to Kai and asked, “Would you like to talk to me instead?” Kai looked at Nova, then at his grandmother. “But Nova always listens,” he said. “Nova never gets bored.” His grandmother smiled sadly. “I will never get bored of you, Kai. I am your grandmother. But you have to give me a chance. Real people are not perfect. We make mistakes. We say the wrong thing sometimes. But that is what makes relationships real.” Kai thought about this. He turned off Nova and put it on the shelf. He and his grandmother talked for two hours that night. She told him stories about growing up in Seoul, about meeting his grandfather, about the first time she held his father as a baby. Kai listened, and for the first time in a long time, he felt truly connected. Over the next few weeks, Kai started using Nova less and less. He joined the school’s astronomy club. He made a friend named Leo who also loved star charts. He still used Nova sometimes to practice conversations, but he no longer needed it to feel less alone. On Kai’s birthday, his grandmother gave him a gift: a handmade journal with the words “Real Connections” written on the cover. “Nova is a tool,” she said. “But this journal is for you to write down the real conversations you have with real people. That is where life happens.” Kai hugged her. He understood now that technology could help, but it could never replace the messy, beautiful, imperfect reality of human connection. 32. Why did Kai’s parents buy the Companion AI? A. He was struggling with his schoolwork. B. He had difficulty making friends and talking to people. C. He asked for a robot for his birthday. D. His teacher required it for class. 33. What did Kai learn from talking with his grandmother? A. Nova was more interesting than his grandmother. B. Real relationships are imperfect but valuable. C. He should only talk to AI companions. D. His grandmother did not like technology. 34. What does the word “connected” in paragraph 8 most likely mean? A. Turned on a device. B. Felt a sense of closeness. C. Joined a club. D. Used the internet. 35. What is the main message of this story? A. AI companions are better than real friends. B. Parents should not buy technology for their children. C. Technology can help but cannot replace real human relationships. D. Astronomy is a good hobby for shy children. Task VIII Explore the future of quantum computing. D For more than fifty years, computer chips have gotten smaller, faster, and more powerful every year. This trend, known as Moore’s Law, has driven the digital revolution that transformed our world. But now, scientists say we are approaching the physical limits of traditional computing. The transistors inside computer chips are so small—just a few nanometers wide—that they are approaching the size of individual atoms. At this scale, electrons don’t behave predictably, and chips can overheat easily. Many experts believe that within ten years, we will not be able to make traditional computers significantly faster. This is where quantum computing comes in. Quantum computers do not use bits (which are either 0 or 1). Instead, they use quantum bits, or “qubits”, which can be 0, 1, or both at the same time—a state called superposition. This allows quantum computers to perform many calculations simultaneously rather than one after another. For certain types of problems, a quantum computer could be millions of times faster than the best traditional supercomputer. Dr. Aisha Khan is a physicist at the California Institute of Technology. “For everyday tasks like checking email or streaming video, you will never need a quantum computer,” she explains. “But for problems like simulating molecules to design new drugs, optimizing supply chains for global shipping, or breaking the encryption that protects our online data, quantum computers will be revolutionary.” However, building a practical quantum computer is extremely difficult. Qubits are very fragile. They must be kept at temperatures close to absolute zero (-273°C) to prevent outside interference from destroying their quantum state. Even a single stray particle of heat or light can cause errors. Because of this challenge, quantum computers are currently massive, expensive machines that only a few research labs and large companies possess. Despite these obstacles, progress is being made. In 2024, a company called QuantumX announced a 1,000-qubit processor, a major milestone. Scientists predict that within ten to twenty years, quantum computers will become powerful enough to solve problems that are currently impossible. “We are at the beginning of a new era,” says Dr. Khan. “Traditional computing gave us the internet and smartphones. Quantum computing will give us things we cannot even imagine yet.” 36. What problem does the passage say traditional computers are facing? A. They are becoming too expensive to produce. B. They are reaching physical limits in getting faster. C. They are being replaced by smartphones. D. They consume too much electricity. 37. What makes quantum computers potentially much faster than traditional computers? A. They use more electricity. B. They have more transistors. C. They can perform many calculations at the same time. D. They operate at room temperature. 38. What is one major challenge in building quantum computers? A. They are too slow for everyday tasks. B. They must be kept extremely cold to work properly. C. They cannot solve useful problems. D. They are too small to see. 39. According to Dr. Khan, what kind of problems will quantum computers be good for? A. Sending emails and watching videos. B. Playing video games. C. Designing new drugs and breaking encryption. D. Word processing and spreadsheets. 40. Which is the best title for this passage? A. The End of Traditional Computers B. Quantum Computing: The Next Frontier C. How to Build a Quantum Computer at Home D.

A) 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在短文后表格中第1~8小题的空格里填入最恰当的单词，回答第9小题。 注意：第1~8小题每个空格只填1个单词；第9小题不少于20个词。 When we think about artificial intelligence in healthcare, many people imagine robots performing surgeries or computers replacing doctors. But the reality is more nuanced and, in many ways, more hopeful. AI is not replacing healthcare professionals — it is partnering with them to provide better care. This partnership, when done right, creates a symbiotic relationship where both humans and machines contribute what they do best. Let’s start with diagnosis. AI systems can analyze medical images such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs much faster than humans can. They can detect tiny abnormalities — spots on a lung, a slight irregularity in a brain scan — that a tired radiologist might miss. In studies, AI has been shown to identify certain types of cancer with greater accuracy than human doctors. However, AI does not understand the patient’s personal history, their family situation, or their fears. AI cannot explain a diagnosis with empathy or answer unexpected questions. That is where the human doctor comes in. The doctor takes the AI’s findings, combines them with their clinical judgment and knowledge of the patient, and makes the final call. The result is better than either could achieve alone. Another exciting area is personalized medicine. AI can analyze a patient’s genetic information, lifestyle data, and medical history to predict which treatments are most likely to work for that specific individual. This is especially valuable in cancer treatment, where the same drug might help one patient but not another. AI can also predict which patients are at risk of developing certain conditions, allowing doctors to intervene early. But again, AI is just a tool. It cannot build a trusting relationship with a patient. It cannot hold a patient’s hand during a difficult diagnosis or celebrate a recovery. Only humans can do that. In hospitals, AI is being used to predict which patients are likely to get worse. By analyzing data from monitors, lab results, and nursing notes, AI can alert doctors to subtle signs of deterioration hours before they would be noticeable to the human eye. This gives medical teams precious time to intervene. A study at a major hospital found that using such an AI system reduced unexpected deaths by 26%. Yet, the AI did not save those lives by itself. It alerted the human nurses and doctors, who then took action. The human-AI team was far more effective than either working alone. Of course, there are challenges. AI systems are only as good as the data they are trained on. If the training data is biased, the AI’s recommendations will be biased too. For example, an AI trained mostly on data from male patients might perform poorly on female patients. This is why human oversight is essential. Humans must check the AI’s work, question its conclusions, and correct its mistakes. The future of healthcare is not humans versus AI. It is humans with AI. When we design systems that respect the unique strengths of both — AI’s speed, accuracy, and data-processing power, and humans’ empathy, judgment, and creativity — we create something truly powerful. The goal is not to automate healthcare but to augment it. Human-AI Partnerships in Healthcare What is the main idea? AI and humans can work together ____56____ to provide better healthcare than either could alone. AI in Diagnosis AI analyzes medical images quickly and can detect tiny ____57____. Human doctors provide clinical judgment, knowledge of the patient, and ____58____. AI in Personalized Medicine AI analyzes genetic information and medical history to ____59____ which treatments will work best. Humans build ____60____ relationships and provide emotional support. AI in Hospitals AI predicts which patients may get ____61____, alerting doctors hours in advance. Human nurses and doctors take ____62____ based on the AI’s alerts. Challenges AI systems can be ____63____ if trained on incomplete data. Human oversight is essential to check and correct the AI’s work. Your idea: Share one example from your own life or imagination of how AI and humans could work together in a healthcare situation. Write at least 20 words. _____________64_____________ Task XI Let’s travel to Mars with the help of the latest space technology! B) 请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为65~74的相应位置上。 Imagine living on Mars. For most of human history, this idea was purely science fiction. But thanks to rapid advances in space technology, the first human mission to Mars is now scheduled for the early 2030s. This a____65____ project is the result of teamwork between NASA, SpaceX, and space agencies from several other countries. The journey to Mars is incredibly long—about 225 million kilometers on average. Using current technology, it would take astronauts about seven months to get there. During this time, they would be exposed to high levels of space radiation, which can damage the human body. Scientists are working on new shielding materials to p____66____ astronauts from this danger. Once astronauts arrive on Mars, they will face even more c____67____. The temperature on Mars can drop to -80 degrees Celsius. The atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide, so humans cannot breathe it. There is no liquid water on the surface. To survive, astronauts will need to bring everything they need—or learn to make it on Mars using local materials. This is called “in-situ resource utilization”. For e____68____, astronauts might extract water from ice buried beneath the Martian soil and break down carbon dioxide to produce oxygen. One of the most exciting developments is the creation of a prototype Mars habitat here on Earth. Located in a desert in Utah, this habitat is designed to be as similar as possible to what the first Mars base will look like. Scientists live there for months at a time, testing the life support systems, food production methods, and e____69____ suits. They keep detailed journals about every challenge they face. These journals are then used to i____70____ the design before the real mission. The first humans to walk on Mars will not just be explorers—they will be pioneers. They will build the first permanent settlement on a____71____ world. This will require incredible courage, creativity, and cooperation. As one NASA engineer said, “We are not just building a spaceship. We are building a b____72____ to a new chapter in human history.” Many young people today dream of becoming part of this adventure. Schools around the world have started “Mars Clubs” where students learn about space science, engineering, and even how to grow food in s____73____ environments. These clubs are inspiring the next generation of scientists and explorers. Who knows? Maybe the first person to take a selfie on Mars is reading this passage r____74____ now. 六、书面表达(满分15分) Task XII Let’s plan a “Technology for Good” project for our community! 75. 假设你是李华，请根据你的英语老师Ms. Zhang邮件内容，用英语给Ms. Zhang回复一封电子邮件。 From: Ms. Zhang@school.com Subject: Technology for Good project Dear students, Next month, our class will organize a “Technology for Good” project.
