D 【解析】 【导语】本文是城市科学博物馆的四月参观指南，包含开放时间、门票价格、特别展览、志愿者招募及upcoming活动等信息。 【1题详解】 开放时间部分提到周六至周日开放时间为上午10:00至下午6:00，因此周日上午11:00可以参观。A项周一闭馆；C项周五下午5:30已闭馆；D项周六下午6:30已闭馆。 【2题详解】 家庭通票（2名成人+至多2名儿童）价格为140元。陈先生和儿子想体验VR太空漫步，每人需额外支付20元，共40元。因此总费用为140+40=180元。 【3题详解】 志愿者招募部分提到“Age 15-25”和“Available at least 8 hours per week”，因此志愿者必须年满15岁且每周工作8小时。A项特别展览日期为4月10日至5月10日，共一个月；B项VR体验票“available only at the door”，不能在线预订；D项科学秀“Free with museum admission”。 【4题详解】 志愿者招募部分提到“Apply online at www.citysciencemuseum.gov/volunteer before May 20.”，因此16岁的Tom应该访问网站申请。 B In the center of a city, there stood a tall statue (雕像) of a prince. He was covered in gold and had two bright blue stones for eyes. Everyone called him the Happy Prince. One cold night, a little bird was on his way to Egypt. He stopped to rest at the feet of the statue. As he prepared to sleep, a drop of water fell on him. Then another, He looked up and saw the Prince was crying. “Why are you grieving?” asked the bird. “When I was alive,” said the Prince, “I lived in a palace and knew nothing of pain. Now I see all in my city. Far away, a poor woman is making clothes. Her little boy is sick, but she has no money for food. Please, little bird, take the red stone from my sword and give it to her.” The bird agreed and took the stone to the poor woman. She was so happy that she cried. The next day, the Prince asked the bird to take one of his blue eyes to a young writer who had no food. The bird did so. Then the Prince gave his other eye to a little girl selling matches in the street. Now the Prince was blind. The bird decided to stay with him forever. He told the Prince stories and helped the poor by taking the gold leaves from the statue. Winter came. The bird grew cold and weak. One night, he kissed the Prince and fell dead at his feet. At that moment, the Prince’s lead heart broke in two. The next morning, the city leaders saw the ugly, grey statue. “Take it down,” they ordered. Then they melted the statue in a fire, but the broken heart would not burn. —Adapted from Oscar Wilde 5. What does the underlined word “grieving” probably mean? A. Happy. B. Scared. C. Nervous. D.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文改编自王尔德的童话《快乐王子》，讲述快乐王子让小鸟取走自己雕像的宝石、金叶帮助穷人，最终小鸟冻死、雕像被熔毁的故事。 【5题详解】 根据第二段第三句和第三段第一句“As he prepared to sleep...Why are you so grieving?”可知，前文提到王子在哭泣，小鸟询问他为 “grieving”，说明该词与“哭泣” 同义，即 “悲伤的”对应选项D。 【6题详解】 根据第第四段最后一句和第五段第一句以及第七段最后一句“Please, little bird, take…it to her.”、“take one of his blue eyes to a young writer”“taking the gold leaves from the statue”可知，王子通过让小鸟取走自己雕像上的红宝石、蓝宝石眼睛、金叶来帮助穷人，完全匹配选项 C“提供雕像上的物品”。 【7题详解】 通读全文并结合题干可知，事情发展顺序是：⑤王子意识到市民的痛苦。③这只鸟把红宝石带给了那个可怜的女人。②这只鸟被要求帮助这位年轻的作家。①王子再也看不见任何东西了。④王子的雕像从城里消失了。 【8题详解】 第九段最后一句给出了答案：“Then they melted the statue in a fire, but the broken heart would not burn.”可知，王子的雕像被熔毁，但代表善良的破碎心脏却烧不毁，象征内心的善良会永远留存，对应选项B。 C If you watched this year’s Spring Festival Gala, you might have been surprised by a special group of performers — robots! Dressed in colorful outfits, they danced perfectly in sync with human dancers. Their movements were so smooth that it was hard to believe they were machines. These robots are not just for show. They are a product of China’s fast-growing AI technology. Engineers spent months training them to understand music and follow complex dance steps. Unlike humans, robots never get tired. They can repeat the same movement hundreds of times with the same precision. However, they still need humans to program them and solve problems when things go wrong. The appearance of robots on such a big stage has started many discussions. Some people are excited about how AI can make our lives easier in the future. They imagine robots helping with housework, teaching in schools, or even keeping old people company. Others feel a little worried. They wonder: if robots can dance so well, will they one day take away our jobs? Experts say there is no need to worry too much. AI is a tool, not a replacement for humans. Just like the Gala show, where robots and humans worked together to create something beautiful, our future will be about humans and AI working side by side. The key is to learn new skills and embrace the changes instead of being afraid of them. After all, the robots on stage could not have danced without the people behind them. 9. What is the main topic of the passage? A. How robots are better dancers than humans. B. The role of AI in the Spring Festival Gala and future life. C. The history of robot development in China. D. Why people should stop using AI in daily life. 10. According to paragraph 2, what is one advantage of robots over humans? A. They can think by themselves. B. They understand music better. C. They never get tired of repeating movements. D. They need no programming at all. 11. What can we infer from some people’s worries mentioned in paragraph 3? A. They believe robots will soon have feelings. B. They are concerned that AI might replace human jobs. C. They think the Gala show was not good enough. D. They prefer robots to stay in factories. 12. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To explain how to program a robot. B. To prove that robots are dangerous. C. To encourage a positive attitude toward AI. D. To describe the problems of the Gala show. 【答案】9. B 10. C 11. B 12. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了今年春晚机器人表演的现象，探讨了AI技术的优势与公众的担忧，并指出AI是工具而非人类的替代品，人类应与AI携手合作。 【9题详解】 全文围绕春晚机器人表演展开，讨论了AI技术的优势、公众的担忧以及专家对未来的看法，因此文章主要讲的是AI在春晚及未来生活中的作用。 【10题详解】 第二段提到“Unlike humans, robots never get tired. They can repeat the same movement hundreds of times with the same precision.”，因此机器人相对于人类的优势之一是它们从不厌倦重复动作。 【11题详解】 第三段提到“Others feel a little worried. They wonder: if robots can dance so well, will they one day take away our jobs?”，由此可以推断，一些人担心AI可能会取代人类的工作。 【12题详解】 最后一段专家指出AI是工具而非替代品，未来是人类与AI携手合作，关键是要学习新技能、拥抱变化。由此可以推断，作者写本段是为了鼓励人们对AI持积极态度。 D ①Everybody knows that Earth spins (旋转) from west to east. When we see from above the North Pole (北极), it appears to be spinning counterclockwise. That is to say, it’s opposite to the way clock hands move. But what if Earth started spinning the other way? ②Scientists from Germany have made a computer model in which Earth spins from east to west when we see from above the North Pole. This showed them some interesting things about the weather and topography (地形地貌) on Earth, Live Science reported. ③As Earth spins in a counterclockwise direction, it shapes ocean currents (洋流). The direction of the spin, together with wind produces different kinds of weather around the world. ④But an opposite spin changes the ocean currents and winds. So, the climate (weather of a certain place) is different. Winters become even colder in northwestern Europe, while eastern Russia becomes warmer than before. Rain no longer falls on the planet’s wettest places. ⑤Another result of a backward spin is that Earth becomes greener. Scientists found that the size of global deserts dropped from 42 million km2 to 31 million km². This may have something to do with the changing climate. ⑥Therefore, you can see green landscapes from Central Africa to the Middle East, which are mostly covered by deserts now. More surprisingly, the Sahara Desert becomes an oasis (green land). ⑦ ▲ They just appear in some places that they never appeared in before. Deserts would cover North America where countries like the United States and Canada lie. Sand dunes (沙丘) would replace the Amazon rainforest in South America. ⑧A backward spin would keep the main characteristics of Earth’s topography, such as the size, shapes and positions of continents and oceans. But it would also change the interactions (相互作用) between air, ocean and topography, lead scientist Florian Ziemen told Live Science. 13. Which picture shows the meaning of “counterclockwise” in paragraph one? A. B. C. D. 14. Which sentence can be put in the ▲ ? A. However, deserts don’t disappear. B. As a result, global deserts are gone forever. C. In fact, this change makes all deserts even larger. D. For example, the Sahara becomes even drier than before. 15. Which of the sayings can best express the main idea of Paragraph 8? A. A single step leads to a thousand-mile journey. B. Every coin has two sides in its existence. C. Hard work brings pay-off in the long term. D. A small move may influence the bigger picture. 16. What’s the structure of this text? A. B. C. D. 【答案】13. C 14. A 15. D 16. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲了科学家研究的地球顺时针旋转时会发生什么事情。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“it appears to be spinning counterclockwise. That is to say, it’s opposite to the way clock hands move”可知，它与钟表指针的移动方向相反，钟表指针是顺时针，因此“counterclockwise”是逆时针，选项C的箭头方向为逆时针（与钟表指针方向相反），符合词义。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段内容可知，沙漠会覆盖北美、沙丘取代亚马逊雨林，说明沙漠并未完全消失，只是转移到了新的区域。与第六段提到的“撒哈拉沙漠变成绿洲”之间形成转折关系，因此空处应填入转折句，A项“然而，沙漠并不会消失。”符合语境。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“But it would also change the interactions (相互作用) between air, ocean and topography,”可知，顺时针旋转会改变空气、海洋和地形之间的相互作用，即一个小小的举动可能会影响大局。故选D。 【16题详解】 篇章结构题。根据文章内容可知，第一段引出了话题；第二段介绍了科学家制作了一个计算机模型；第三和第四段介绍了顺时针旋转对天气的影响，第五至第七段介绍了顺时针旋转对地球自然景观的影响；第八段进行了总结。故选B。 第二节 Over the past 20 years, many people worked for China’s manned space missions (载人航天任务) .

It can also do good to a community in surprising ways. Brian, a 15-year-old boy, knows this well. In 2020, he started a community recycling program to offer help to the football clubs in his hometown, Wyre. It now has 3,000 participants (参与者). When Brian was 11, he played football with Fleetwood Town F.C. The club was new and needed money to travel to Premier League. Brian came up with a plan. “There are bottles always thrown around the road,” he said. In Wyre, these can be collected for money. With his father’s help, Brian started a bottle drive. Since then, Brian’s recycling effort has raised 35,000 pounds and helped at least 20 local youth groups. It has also stopped more than 200,000 bottles from littering the roadside and polluting Wyre’s lakes and rivers. “It’s kept our community a lot cleaner,” Brian says. In 2023, Brian won the Duke of Edinburgh’s Prize for young heroes. The prize goes to kids and teenagers working to help others and protecting Planet Earth. “I’m happy to know that all these clubs and kids around the community are benefiting.” Brian says, when he was asked about all he’s finished with his cleanup effort. Brian believes everyone can and should do something useful. “Just do a little bit to help make the world a little bit better,” he says. “Be creative,” he adds. “Have an idea and build on it.” 41. What did Brian do to help the football clubs in his hometown in 2020? ____________________________________________________ 42. How much money has Brian raised since he started a bottle drive? ____________________________________________________ 43. Why did Brian win the Duke of Edinburgh’s Prize for young heroes? ____________________________________________________ 44. How do you protect the environment? Please give an example.

He was covered in gold and had two bright blue stones for eyes. Everyone called him the Happy Prince. One cold night, a little bird was on his way to Egypt. He stopped to rest at the feet of the statue. As he prepared to sleep, a drop of water fell on him. Then another, He looked up and saw the Prince was crying. “Why are you grieving?” asked the bird. “When I was alive,” said the Prince, “I lived in a palace and knew nothing of pain. Now I see all in my city. Far away, a poor woman is making clothes. Her little boy is sick, but she has no money for food. Please, little bird, take the red stone from my sword and give it to her.” The bird agreed and took the stone to the poor woman. She was so happy that she cried. The next day, the Prince asked the bird to take one of his blue eyes to a young writer who had no food. The bird did so. Then the Prince gave his other eye to a little girl selling matches in the street. Now the Prince was blind. The bird decided to stay with him forever. He told the Prince stories and helped the poor by taking the gold leaves from the statue. Winter came. The bird grew cold and weak. One night, he kissed the Prince and fell dead at his feet. At that moment, the Prince’s lead heart broke in two. The next morning, the city leaders saw the ugly, grey statue. “Take it down,” they ordered.

C If you watched this year’s Spring Festival Gala, you might have been surprised by a special group of performers — robots! Dressed in colorful outfits, they danced perfectly in sync with human dancers. Their movements were so smooth that it was hard to believe they were machines. These robots are not just for show. They are a product of China’s fast-growing AI technology. Engineers spent months training them to understand music and follow complex dance steps. Unlike humans, robots never get tired. They can repeat the same movement hundreds of times with the same precision. However, they still need humans to program them and solve problems when things go wrong. The appearance of robots on such a big stage has started many discussions. Some people are excited about how AI can make our lives easier in the future. They imagine robots helping with housework, teaching in schools, or even keeping old people company. Others feel a little worried. They wonder: if robots can dance so well, will they one day take away our jobs? Experts say there is no need to worry too much. AI is a tool, not a replacement for humans. Just like the Gala show, where robots and humans worked together to create something beautiful, our future will be about humans and AI working side by side. The key is to learn new skills and embrace the changes instead of being afraid of them. After all, the robots on stage could not have danced without the people behind them. 9. What is the main topic of the passage? A. How robots are better dancers than humans. B. The role of AI in the Spring Festival Gala and future life. C. The history of robot development in China. D. Why people should stop using AI in daily life. 10. According to paragraph 2, what is one advantage of robots over humans? A. They can think by themselves. B. They understand music better. C. They never get tired of repeating movements. D. They need no programming at all. 11. What can we infer from some people’s worries mentioned in paragraph 3? A. They believe robots will soon have feelings. B. They are concerned that AI might replace human jobs. C. They think the Gala show was not good enough. D. They prefer robots to stay in factories. 12. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To explain how to program a robot. B. To prove that robots are dangerous. C. To encourage a positive attitude toward AI. D. To describe the problems of the Gala show. D ①Everybody knows that Earth spins (旋转) from west to east. When we see from above the North Pole (北极), it appears to be spinning counterclockwise. That is to say, it’s opposite to the way clock hands move. But what if Earth started spinning the other way? ②Scientists from Germany have made a computer model in which Earth spins from east to west when we see from above the North Pole. This showed them some interesting things about the weather and topography (地形地貌) on Earth, Live Science reported. ③As Earth spins in a counterclockwise direction, it shapes ocean currents (洋流). The direction of the spin, together with wind produces different kinds of weather around the world. ④But an opposite spin changes the ocean currents and winds. So, the climate (weather of a certain place) is different. Winters become even colder in northwestern Europe, while eastern Russia becomes warmer than before. Rain no longer falls on the planet’s wettest places. ⑤Another result of a backward spin is that Earth becomes greener. Scientists found that the size of global deserts dropped from 42 million km2 to 31 million km². This may have something to do with the changing climate. ⑥Therefore, you can see green landscapes from Central Africa to the Middle East, which are mostly covered by deserts now. More surprisingly, the Sahara Desert becomes an oasis (green land). ⑦ ▲ They just appear in some places that they never appeared in before. Deserts would cover North America where countries like the United States and Canada lie. Sand dunes (沙丘) would replace the Amazon rainforest in South America. ⑧A backward spin would keep the main characteristics of Earth’s topography, such as the size, shapes and positions of continents and oceans. But it would also change the interactions (相互作用) between air, ocean and topography, lead scientist Florian Ziemen told Live Science. 13. Which picture shows the meaning of “counterclockwise” in paragraph one? A. B. C. D. 14. Which sentence can be put in the ▲ ? A. However, deserts don’t disappear. B. As a result, global deserts are gone forever. C. In fact, this change makes all deserts even larger. D. For example, the Sahara becomes even drier than before. 15. Which of the sayings can best express the main idea of Paragraph 8? A. A single step leads to a thousand-mile journey. B. Every coin has two sides in its existence. C. Hard work brings pay-off in the long term. D. A small move may influence the bigger picture. 16. What’s the structure of this text? A. B. C. D. 第二节 Over the past 20 years, many people worked for China’s manned space missions (载人航天任务) . Shi Yaoxin, 28, is one of them. As a rocket designer, he took part in three manned space missions, from Shenzhou XIV to Shenzhou XVI. A journalist talked with him about his work and life.

It can also do good to a community in surprising ways. Brian, a 15-year-old boy, knows this well. In 2020, he started a community recycling program to offer help to the football clubs in his hometown, Wyre. It now has 3,000 participants (参与者). When Brian was 11, he played football with Fleetwood Town F.C. The club was new and needed money to travel to Premier League. Brian came up with a plan. “There are bottles always thrown around the road,” he said. In Wyre, these can be collected for money. With his father’s help, Brian started a bottle drive. Since then, Brian’s recycling effort has raised 35,000 pounds and helped at least 20 local youth groups. It has also stopped more than 200,000 bottles from littering the roadside and polluting Wyre’s lakes and rivers. “It’s kept our community a lot cleaner,” Brian says. In 2023, Brian won the Duke of Edinburgh’s Prize for young heroes. The prize goes to kids and teenagers working to help others and protecting Planet Earth. “I’m happy to know that all these clubs and kids around the community are benefiting.” Brian says, when he was asked about all he’s finished with his cleanup effort. Brian believes everyone can and should do something useful. “Just do a little bit to help make the world a little bit better,” he says. “Be creative,” he adds. “Have an idea and build on it.” 41.
