The Mogao Caves, which are part of this project, have a long history of over 1,600 years. They hold thousands of paintings and sculptures (雕像), but many people can’t visit them 11 because they are far away or the caves need to be protected. Digital Dunhuang changed this situation. Since it went online in 2016, it has 12 millions of visitors. People can take online tours of nearly 300 caves on the website. The 3D images are so clear that visitors can see every detail of the paintings. There are also introductions in several languages, so it’s 13 for people from different countries to understand the artworks. For students, Digital Dunhuang is a great learning tool. They can study ancient Chinese culture at home without  14 a long trip. Teachers often use the website in class to make lessons more interesting. Last year, my class had a discussion about the Mogao Caves after watching the online tour. We shared our ideas and learned a lot from each other. The project also helps protect the caves. By letting people visit online, it reduces the number of real visitors, which 15 the damage (损害) to the ancient art. Experts are still working on the project, adding more caves and better content. Digital Dunhuang shows how technology can connect the past and the present. It’s not only a way to enjoy art but also a way to pass on Chinese culture. No matter where you are, you can 16 the beauty of ancient China with just one click. This project truly makes the world a 17 place. I hope more such projects will appear in the future. They can help more people learn about different cultures and 18 understanding. As a young person, I feel proud of this great project and will try my best to  19  Chinese culture to others.

A team of scientists from the University of North Carolina believe that 31 of the pyramids, including the famous Great Pyramid of Giza, were probably built along a part of the River Nile that has been lost for a long time. For years, scientists have thought that ancient Egyptians used a waterway nearby, but Eman Ghoneim, who led the study, says nobody was certain about the location of it. The team used special technology, historical maps and samples (样本) from the ground to find the hidden part of the River Nile under the sand. They believe this was used to transport (运输) heavy stones (石头) and tools to build the pyramids. But over time, sandstorms covered it and it dried up. This hidden part of the River Nile is called “Ahramat”, which means “pyramids” in the Arabic language. It’s thought it was about 39 miles long and between 200 and 700 metres wide. Before it got covered in sand, this river was next to the pyramids built between 4,700 and 3,700 years ago. The team says discovering this lost part of the river helps explain how there are so many pyramids in such a challenging (挑战性的) desert place. It’s like solving a big puzzle (不解之谜) from long ago! ( ) 21. What mystery do scientists think they’ve solved? A. How the pyramids were built in the desert. B. How many pyramids there were in Egypt. C. When the pyramids were discovered. D. Who built the pyramids. ( ) 22. What does the word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The huge desert. B. The waterway nearby. C. The special technology. D. The Great Pyramid of Giza. ( ) 23. What was the use of the hidden part of the River Nile? A. To keep the pyramids wet. B. To water fields near the pyramids. C. To provide drinking water for pyramid builders. D. To transport stones and tools to build the pyramids. ( ) 24. What does the name “Ahramat” mean? A. River. B. Desert. C. Pyramids. D. Sandstorms. ( ) 25. What does the writer mainly want to show us in the last paragraph? A. The importance of the discovery. B. Why ancient Egyptians were clever. C. The new development of technology. D. How difficult it was to build the pyramids. 【主旨大意】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍科学家通过研究发现古埃及人曾利用消失的尼罗河支流运输材料建造金字塔，解开了沙漠建金字塔的谜团。 21.A【21题详解】第一段指出：“the mystery of how the pyramids were built in the huge Sahara Desert has left scientists scratching their heads, but now they think they’ve found the answer.”，这说明科学家解开了金字塔如何在沙漠中建造的谜团。 22.B【22题详解】第三段提到：“scientists have thought that ancient Egyptians used a waterway nearby, but Eman Ghoneim...says nobody was certain about the location of it.”，科学家们认为古埃及人在附近使用了一条水道，但埃曼·古奈姆说没有人确定它的位置，这里的“it”指代前文提到的附近的水道。 23.D【23题详解】第四段说明：“They believe this was used to transport heavy stones and tools to build the pyramids.”，这条隐藏的尼罗河支流被用来运输建造金字塔的石头和工具。 24.C【24题详解】第五段指出：“This hidden part of the River Nile is called ‘Ahramat’, which means ‘pyramids’ in the Arabic language.”，Ahramat在阿拉伯语中意为金字塔。 25.A【25题详解】最后一段阐述：“discovering this lost part of the river helps explain how there are so many pyramids in such a challenging desert place.”，作者在本段表明这项发现的重要意义。 B A face-to-face meeting with Emperor Qinshihuang, once only a thought, is now within reach. In Central China’s Hunan Province, AI is making this kind of “meeting” possible—it’s making old things, places and even people from Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC) come alive. ⑴ This fun project is from teamwork between a Changsha company and archaeologists (考古学家). The team uses AI to collect information from old papers and things dug up. Also, they put them in order. The company’s manager, Zhang Gangyi, showed how useful the technology is. ⑵ He made a picture of Hua, an officer from the Qin Dynasty. Hua’s story and many facts of life in Qin times were written on about 38,000 bamboo slips (竹简). People found these slips in 2002. They are very useful—they filled an empty part in history and told us 15-year life in an old Qin town. Now, the AI-made Hua is a guide at Liye Ancient Town Archaeological Site Park. The park opened again in October after being fixed. It has a new smart guiding system made by Zhang’s team. They turned the old words on the bamboo slips into fun videos. Visitors can scan QR codes (二维码) at the park to watch these videos. Then they can feel what life was like 2,000 years ago. ⑶ All pictures, clothes and things in the videos are based on real historical finds. For example, Hua’s clothes got ideas from Emperor Qinshihuang’s tomb in Shaanxi. The team had to read many reports to get small facts right. This was a big challenge for them. Zhang loves Chinese history very much. ⑷ “History is not just in museum boxes—people can feel it and talk with it,” he said. He thinks “culture + technology” will make traditional culture easier for everyone to enjoy. For example, visitors could wear VR (虚拟现实) glasses to see Qin Dynasty buildings on screen. He also said our own technology is important. We can’t use foreign technologies for our cultural projects. ( ) 26. What makes the “face-to-face meeting with Emperor Qinshihuang” possible? A. The old papers and things dug up. B. AI technology used in the project. C. The hard work of archaeologists alone. D. Bamboo slips found in Honan Province. ( ) 27. How can visitors experience Qin life at the park? A. By scanning QR codes to watch videos. B. By talking with archaeologists in person. C. By reading ancient bamboo slips directly. D. By wearing beautiful Qin Dynasty clothes. ( ) 28.Where can we put the sentence “He said technology helps people learn about the past better.” in ? A. ⑴ B. ⑵ C. ⑶ D. ⑷ ( ) 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. The bamboo slips found in 2002 told us everything about Qin life. B. The facts showed in the videos come from real historical discoveries. C. The AI-made Hua has become a popular guide in many ancient parks. D. Zhang Gangyi thinks foreign technology is helpful for cultural projects. ( ) 30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. AI and Qin History: Making the Past Come Alive B. AI and VR Glasses: Seeing Qin Dynasty Buildings C. AI and Smart Park: Experiencing Qin Dynasty Life D. AI and Bamboo Slips: Telling Qin Dynasty History 【主旨大意】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了在湖南，通过人工智能技术让秦朝的事物、地点甚至人物“复活”，人们可以通过相关项目与秦始皇“面对面”会面，还介绍了以秦朝官员华为例，说明人工智能在考古项目中的应用，以及该项目给游客带来的体验等，强调了科技与文化结合让传统文化更易被人们欣赏。 26.B【26题详解】根据第一段“In Central China’s Hunan Province, AI is making this kind of ‘meeting’ possible...This fun project is from teamwork between a Changsha company and archaeologists (考古学家).”可知，是项目中使用的AI技术让与秦始皇“面对面”会面成为可能。 27.A【27题详解】根据第三段“Visitors can scan QR codes (二维码) at the park to watch these videos.

Over 120 million people visited museums and cultural places. About 35% of them were teenagers. With the help of AI and digital tools, museums became interactive (互动式) playgrounds. Young people can “touch” history and learn new ideas there. At Xi’an Museum, a digital art show called West Expo Treasures was very popular. About 82,000 young people visited it in only 7 days. By waving their hands, they could make old bells ring and see a golden dragon “fly” out of the exhibits into their hands. Here, teens stayed for 47 minutes — twice as long as at normal exhibits. “It’s like time travel. Now I really understand why Tang Dynasty culture was so great. It’s fun” said Li Jiawei, 15. Learning through play is a new way to study. At Shanghai Museum, 56,000 teens tried to find fossils. They also used microscopes to look at old things. Usually, each teen finished 3 VR tasks. 92% said they learned more than in history classes. Yu Ruoxuan, a French — Chinese girl, said “These experiences made history feel real which are different from the learning in books.” In Hangzhou, some college students helped build a VR museum. 28 local teens used AI to design 120 shows in Song Dynasty style. There were 3,000 visits in 5 days. 16 -year - old Chen Yu said they used technology to s… hare their village history. The “museum fever” showed that technology helps teens understand their culture. These experiences give them a sense of pride. Now, Chinese youth are ready to bring their culture into the future. ( ) 31. How have museums become “interactive playgrounds” for teens? A. They use high - tech tools. B. They offer more exhibits. C. They put in more money. D. They provide more tasks. ( ) 32. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2? A. Normal exhibits are not popular. B. Teens want to fly the golden dragon. C. Teens really dislike the time-travel exhibit. D. Interactive exhibits are great fun for teens. ( ) 33. What did Yu Ruoxuan think of the experience at Shanghai Museum? A. It was more boring than history classes. B. It was the same as learning from books. C. It made history feel real and interesting. D. It was too difficult for teenagers to finish. ( ) 34.What is the proper word in the sentence “16 -year - old Chen Yu said they used technology to s… their village history.”? A. Stay. B. Share. C. Store. D. Suppose ( ) 35. Which would be the best title for the text? A. Museum Fever on Holidays B. Tech Shapes Future Culture C. Digital Museums Win Teens D.

This ancient site in China has puzzled experts since its discovery. Sanxingdui flourished (繁荣兴盛) during the late Shang Dynasty. It had a highly developed bronze (青铜) culture. However, no written records have been found, so we know little about its people. One of the biggest mysteries is the sudden disappearance of this civilization (文明). Archaeologists have found hundreds of valuable objects made of jade, bronze, and ivory. These items were carefully broken or burned before being buried. Then, the civilization simply vanished. Around the same time, a similar culture appeared in Jinsha, about 38 kilometers away. Most experts believe the people of Sanxingdui moved there. But why did they leave their home? People have different ideas about why they had to leave, such as war or floods. After studying the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, a scientist suggested another idea: a major earthquake may have changed the path of the Minjiang River. Without water, the people had to leave. But one question remains unanswered. If they were leaving, why did they break and bury their treasures instead of taking them? Evidence shows they did this slowly and carefully, perhaps as part of a ceremony. It’s still a mystery to researchers today. The Sanxingdui Ruins Background: ▶Flourished in the late Shang Dynasty. ▶Its bronze culture was highly 36 . ▶Having no written records. Mysteries: ▶The Sanxingdui civilization disappeared 37 . ▶A similar culture appeared in Jinsha, about 38 kilometers away 38 Sanxingdui. Possible 39 : ▶War. ▶Floods. ▶An earthquake. Unanswered question: ▶ 40 knows why they broke and buried their treasures. 【主旨大意】 本文主要讲述三星堆遗址的背景、存在的谜团、可能的消失原因以及未解答的问题等。 36. developed【36题详解】文章在介绍三星堆背景时提到“It had a highly developed bronze (青铜) culture”，说明其青铜文化高度发达，此处应填“developed”。 37. suddenly【37题详解】第二段开头指出“One of the biggest mysteries is the sudden disappearance of this civilization (文明)”，即三星堆文明突然消失，此处用副词suddenly修饰动词disappeared，所以第二空填“suddenly”。 38. from 【38题详解】第二段提到金沙文化出现在“about 38 kilometers away”，即距离三星堆38公里远的地方，固定搭配away from，意为“距离……”，故第三空填介词“from”。 39. reasons【39题详解】第三段列举了war, floods, earthquake等几种三星堆居民离开的可能原因，所以此处应填名词复数reasons，表示“原因”。 40. Nobody【40题详解】最后一段提到“It’s still a mystery to researchers today.”，至今没有人知道这个问题的答案，第五空应填Nobody。 五、词语运用(共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) A)根据首字母提示，填写单词 41. Beijing is the political and cultural c of China. 42.

Most of the homes were in caves or shelters (遮蔽物) which were built in trees. These “homes” were only used 56 temporary (临时的) shelters to protect them from the sun, the rain and the wild animals in the forests. Men of that time were 57 (call) “cave people”. These “cave people” usually lived in small groups 58 life was not easy for them. 59 (them) had to move from place to place to search for food. They would hunt, fish or pick wild fruit. When they couldn’t find anything to eat, they would leave to find another proper place. Their tools 60 (be) very simple. They ate raw (生的) food until they learnt how to make a fire. For clothing, they used only 61 bark (树皮) of trees or the skins (皮) of animals to cover their bodies. However, the lives of the “cave people” changed. They collected the seeds (种子) of wild plants that 62 (grow) in the forests. Soon they learnt to plant fruit, vegetables and other crops. They also kept cows, sheep and other kinds of farm animals for milk, meat and skins. They became 63 (farm) and lived in only one certain area.

The Mogao Caves, which are part of this project, have a long history of over 1,600 years. They hold thousands of paintings and sculptures (雕像), but many people can’t visit them 11 because they are far away or the caves need to be protected. Digital Dunhuang changed this situation. Since it went online in 2016, it has 12 millions of visitors. People can take online tours of nearly 300 caves on the website. The 3D images are so clear that visitors can see every detail of the paintings. There are also introductions in several languages, so it’s 13 for people from different countries to understand the artworks. For students, Digital Dunhuang is a great learning tool. They can study ancient Chinese culture at home without  14 a long trip. Teachers often use the website in class to make lessons more interesting. Last year, my class had a discussion about the Mogao Caves after watching the online tour. We shared our ideas and learned a lot from each other. The project also helps protect the caves. By letting people visit online, it reduces the number of real visitors, which 15 the damage (损害) to the ancient art. Experts are still working on the project, adding more caves and better content. Digital Dunhuang shows how technology can connect the past and the present. It’s not only a way to enjoy art but also a way to pass on Chinese culture. No matter where you are, you can 16 the beauty of ancient China with just one click. This project truly makes the world a 17 place. I hope more such projects will appear in the future. They can help more people learn about different cultures and 18 understanding. As a young person, I feel proud of this great project and will try my best to  19  Chinese culture to others. In short, Digital Dunhuang is a perfect example of combining technology and culture. It 20 us that technology can be used to protect and spread cultural heritage. ( ) 11.

A team of scientists from the University of North Carolina believe that 31 of the pyramids, including the famous Great Pyramid of Giza, were probably built along a part of the River Nile that has been lost for a long time. For years, scientists have thought that ancient Egyptians used a waterway nearby, but Eman Ghoneim, who led the study, says nobody was certain about the location of it. The team used special technology, historical maps and samples (样本) from the ground to find the hidden part of the River Nile under the sand. They believe this was used to transport (运输) heavy stones (石头) and tools to build the pyramids. But over time, sandstorms covered it and it dried up. This hidden part of the River Nile is called “Ahramat”, which means “pyramids” in the Arabic language. It’s thought it was about 39 miles long and between 200 and 700 metres wide. Before it got covered in sand, this river was next to the pyramids built between 4,700 and 3,700 years ago. The team says discovering this lost part of the river helps explain how there are so many pyramids in such a challenging (挑战性的) desert place. It’s like solving a big puzzle (不解之谜) from long ago! ( ) 21. What mystery do scientists think they’ve solved? A. How the pyramids were built in the desert. B. How many pyramids there were in Egypt. C. When the pyramids were discovered. D. Who built the pyramids. ( ) 22. What does the word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The huge desert. B. The waterway nearby. C. The special technology. D. The Great Pyramid of Giza. ( ) 23. What was the use of the hidden part of the River Nile? A. To keep the pyramids wet. B. To water fields near the pyramids. C. To provide drinking water for pyramid builders. D. To transport stones and tools to build the pyramids. ( ) 24. What does the name “Ahramat” mean? A. River. B. Desert. C. Pyramids. D. Sandstorms. ( ) 25. What does the writer mainly want to show us in the last paragraph? A. The importance of the discovery. B. Why ancient Egyptians were clever. C. The new development of technology. D. How difficult it was to build the pyramids. B A face-to-face meeting with Emperor Qinshihuang, once only a thought, is now within reach. In Central China’s Hunan Province, AI is making this kind of “meeting” possible—it’s making old things, places and even people from Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC) come alive. ⑴ This fun project is from teamwork between a Changsha company and archaeologists (考古学家). The team uses AI to collect information from old papers and things dug up. Also, they put them in order. The company’s manager, Zhang Gangyi, showed how useful the technology is. ⑵ He made a picture of Hua, an officer from the Qin Dynasty. Hua’s story and many facts of life in Qin times were written on about 38,000 bamboo slips (竹简). People found these slips in 2002. They are very useful—they filled an empty part in history and told us 15-year life in an old Qin town. Now, the AI-made Hua is a guide at Liye Ancient Town Archaeological Site Park. The park opened again in October after being fixed. It has a new smart guiding system made by Zhang’s team. They turned the old words on the bamboo slips into fun videos. Visitors can scan QR codes (二维码) at the park to watch these videos. Then they can feel what life was like 2,000 years ago. ⑶ All pictures, clothes and things in the videos are based on real historical finds. For example, Hua’s clothes got ideas from Emperor Qinshihuang’s tomb in Shaanxi. The team had to read many reports to get small facts right. This was a big challenge for them. Zhang loves Chinese history very much. ⑷ “History is not just in museum boxes—people can feel it and talk with it,” he said. He thinks “culture + technology” will make traditional culture easier for everyone to enjoy. For example, visitors could wear VR (虚拟现实) glasses to see Qin Dynasty buildings on screen. He also said our own technology is important. We can’t use foreign technologies for our cultural projects. ( ) 26. What makes the “face-to-face meeting with Emperor Qinshihuang” possible? A. The old papers and things dug up. B. AI technology used in the project. C. The hard work of archaeologists alone. D. Bamboo slips found in Honan Province. ( ) 27. How can visitors experience Qin life at the park? A. By scanning QR codes to watch videos. B. By talking with archaeologists in person. C. By reading ancient bamboo slips directly. D. By wearing beautiful Qin Dynasty clothes. ( ) 28.Where can we put the sentence “He said technology helps people learn about the past better.” in ? A. ⑴ B. ⑵ C. ⑶ D. ⑷ ( ) 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. The bamboo slips found in 2002 told us everything about Qin life. B. The facts showed in the videos come from real historical discoveries. C. The AI-made Hua has become a popular guide in many ancient parks. D. Zhang Gangyi thinks foreign technology is helpful for cultural projects. ( ) 30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. AI and Qin History: Making the Past Come Alive B. AI and VR Glasses: Seeing Qin Dynasty Buildings C. AI and Smart Park: Experiencing Qin Dynasty Life D. AI and Bamboo Slips: Telling Qin Dynasty History C During the National Day holiday in 2025, many people in China went to museums. Over 120 million people visited museums and cultural places. About 35% of them were teenagers. With the help of AI and digital tools, museums became interactive (互动式) playgrounds. Young people can “touch” history and learn new ideas there. At Xi’an Museum, a digital art show called West Expo Treasures was very popular. About 82,000 young people visited it in only 7 days. By waving their hands, they could make old bells ring and see a golden dragon “fly” out of the exhibits into their hands. Here, teens stayed for 47 minutes — twice as long as at normal exhibits. “It’s like time travel. Now I really understand why Tang Dynasty culture was so great. It’s fun” said Li Jiawei, 15. Learning through play is a new way to study. At Shanghai Museum, 56,000 teens tried to find fossils. They also used microscopes to look at old things. Usually, each teen finished 3 VR tasks. 92% said they learned more than in history classes. Yu Ruoxuan, a French — Chinese girl, said “These experiences made history feel real which are different from the learning in books.” In Hangzhou, some college students helped build a VR museum. 28 local teens used AI to design 120 shows in Song Dynasty style. There were 3,000 visits in 5 days. 16 -year - old Chen Yu said they used technology to s… hare their village history. The “museum fever” showed that technology helps teens understand their culture. These experiences give them a sense of pride. Now, Chinese youth are ready to bring their culture into the future. ( ) 31. How have museums become “interactive playgrounds” for teens? A. They use high - tech tools. B. They offer more exhibits. C. They put in more money. D. They provide more tasks. ( ) 32. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2? A. Normal exhibits are not popular. B. Teens want to fly the golden dragon. C. Teens really dislike the time-travel exhibit. D. Interactive exhibits are great fun for teens. ( ) 33. What did Yu Ruoxuan think of the experience at Shanghai Museum? A. It was more boring than history classes. B. It was the same as learning from books. C. It made history feel real and interesting. D. It was too difficult for teenagers to finish. ( ) 34.What is the proper word in the sentence “16 -year - old Chen Yu said they used technology to s… their village history.”? A. Stay. B. Share. C. Store. D. Suppose ( ) 35. Which would be the best title for the text? A. Museum Fever on Holidays B. Tech Shapes Future Culture C. Digital Museums Win Teens D. Teens Like Museums More 四、任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) The Sanxingdui Ruins are one of the greatest archaeological (考古学上的) finds of the 20th century. This ancient site in China has puzzled experts since its discovery. Sanxingdui flourished (繁荣兴盛) during the late Shang Dynasty. It had a highly developed bronze (青铜) culture. However, no written records have been found, so we know little about its people. One of the biggest mysteries is the sudden disappearance of this civilization (文明). Archaeologists have found hundreds of valuable objects made of jade, bronze, and ivory. These items were carefully broken or burned before being buried. Then, the civilization simply vanished. Around the same time, a similar culture appeared in Jinsha, about 38 kilometers away. Most experts believe the people of Sanxingdui moved there. But why did they leave their home? People have different ideas about why they had to leave, such as war or floods. After studying the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, a scientist suggested another idea: a major earthquake may have changed the path of the Minjiang River. Without water, the people had to leave. But one question remains unanswered. If they were leaving, why did they break and bury their treasures instead of taking them? Evidence shows they did this slowly and carefully, perhaps as part of a ceremony. It’s still a mystery to researchers today.

These “homes” were only used 56 temporary (临时的) shelters to protect them from the sun, the rain and the wild animals in the forests. Men of that time were 57 (call) “cave people”. These “cave people” usually lived in small groups 58 life was not easy for them. 59 (them) had to move from place to place to search for food. They would hunt, fish or pick wild fruit. When they couldn’t find anything to eat, they would leave to find another proper place. Their tools 60 (be) very simple. They ate raw (生的) food until they learnt how to make a fire. For clothing, they used only 61 bark (树皮) of trees or the skins (皮) of animals to cover their bodies. However, the lives of the “cave people” changed. They collected the seeds (种子) of wild plants that 62 (grow) in the forests. Soon they learnt to plant fruit, vegetables and other crops. They also kept cows, sheep and other kinds of farm animals for milk, meat and skins. They became 63 (farm) and lived in only one certain area. Their groups became 64 (large) than before as they lived more settled (固定的) lives. They built houses as long-lasting homes, and as a result, villages and towns developed 65 (quick).
