It is necessary for us to learn some self-rescue skills. If you fall into water carelessly, the most important thing is to stay calm. Do not struggle wildly, for it will make you run out of energy and sink quickly. Try to relax your body and lie on your back. In this way, you can float on the water and keep your head above water to breathe. Then shout for help loudly so that people nearby can notice you. If you see someone drowning, never jump into water to save them if you are not trained. You can shout for adults’ help, or use things like bamboo poles and life rings to reach them. Always remember: safety comes first. Swim only in safe areas with adults. 36. What is the most important thing when you fall into water? A. Swimming as fast as possible B. Staying calm C. Crying loudly D. Holding other people 37. What does the underlined word “float” mean in Chinese? A. 漂浮 B. 挣扎 C. 下沉 D. 呛水 38. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. We can jump into water to save others if we can swim a little. B. Struggling wildly helps us stay safe in water. C. We can use bamboo poles to help drowning people. D. Drowning is not a big danger for middle school students. 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇安全科普短文，点明溺水是中学生高危事故，依次讲解意外落水自救方法、发现他人溺水的正确施救方式，最后强调游泳安全准则。 【36题详解】 原文第二段“If you fall into water carelessly, the most important thing is to stay calm.”，不慎落水时最重要的事是保持冷静。 【37题详解】 根据划线词所在句的前文“Try to relax your body and lie on your back.”及后文“keep your head above water to breathe”可知，这种姿势是为了让人“漂浮”在水面上，因此float意为“漂浮”。 【38题详解】 原文第三段“or use things like bamboo poles and life rings to reach them”可知，我们可以用竹竿救助溺水的人。 B The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China.

Chores are very important for children’s development, as they bring many benefits. First, doing chores gives children a sense of achievement. They can see the results soon after finishing the work. When their parents thank them for their help, children will know they are useful to their families. This also encourages them to be more active in activities outside the home. Second, children learn that it is everyone’s duty to do housework. It stops them from growing up spoiled. They will understand that life doesn’t give everything for free. It takes effort to make their wishes come true. Third, doing chores helps children learn time management. Kids learn to plan their time for chores, study and other activities. This useful skill helps them balance work and life when they grow up. Besides, chores teach important life skills, such as washing dishes, sweeping the floor and making the bed. The only way to learn these skills is by doing them. Chores are not just about keeping the house clean. They are valuable life lessons for children. 43. According to the Harvard study, children who do chores will become ________ when they grow up. A. healthier and stronger B. more independent and successful C. more outgoing and popular D. better at their school lessons 44. Why can children get a sense of achievement from doing chores? A. Because they can get much pocket money. B. Because they finish their homework quickly. C. Because they see results and get parents’ thanks. D. Because they can play games after doing chores. 45. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Learning to do housework. B. Knowing the duty of doing chores. C. The sense of achievement. D. The hard life in the future. 【答案】43. B 44. C 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了做家务对孩子成长的诸多益处。 【43题详解】 根据文章第一段第一句“A famous 75-year study from Harvard shows that children who do chores will become more independent and successful when they grow up.”可知，哈佛研究表明做家务的孩子长大后会变得更独立和成功。 【44题详解】 根据文章第二段第二、三句“They can see the results soon after finishing the work. When their parents thank them for their help, children will know they are useful to their families.”可知，孩子们能从做家务中获得成就感，是因为他们能很快看到成果并且得到父母的感谢。 【45题详解】 根据文章第三段第一、二句“Second, children learn that it is everyone's duty to do housework. It stops them from growing up spoiled.”可知，“It”指代的是前一句提到的内容，即“孩子们认识到做家务是每个人的责任”这一事实。选项 B“知道做家务的责任”与此相符。 D In the age of AI, some people think foreign language learning is out of date. There are many AI translation tools now. They can translate foreign songs, websites and even spoken words right away. So some people say we don’t need to spend time learning a new language, because technology can help us. AI translation tools are really useful in some situations. For example, they help foreign tourists talk with local people easily. Translation technology also helps protect endangered languages. It can translate stories and poems in endangered languages into widely spoken languages. However, AI translation misses an important part of human communication: cultural differences behind words. If we only depend on AI to translate, we may have misunderstandings. For example, Chinese people usually don’t say “no” directly to refuse an invitation. Instead, they may say “It’s not very convenient”. AI translation can only translate the words, but it can’t tell that this is a polite refusal. An English speaker may wrongly think the person is still thinking about the invitation. In short, AI translation is helpful in some cases, but it can never take the place of learning a foreign language. True language learning helps us not only understand words, but also know about different cultures and connect with people better. 46. Why do some people think foreign language learning is out of date? A. Because AI translation tools can help with translation. B. Because learning foreign languages is too difficult. C. Because few people study foreign languages now. D. Because there are fewer foreign songs and websites. 47. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The importance of protecting endangered languages. B. Ways to use AI translation tools in daily life. C. The useful sides of AI translation tools. D. How to communicate with foreign tourists. 48. The example in Paragraph 3 shows that ________. A. AI translation can’t show cultural differences behind words B. Chinese people are not polite to refuse invitations C. English speakers can easily understand Chinese culture D. AI translation makes communication more difficult 49. What does the writer want to tell us? A.

Learning foreign languages is still necessary and important. 【答案】46. A 47. C 48. A 49. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕AI翻译工具与外语学习展开论述：先提出有人认为有AI翻译就不用学外语，再介绍AI翻译的实用之处，接着指出AI翻译无法传达文字背后的文化差异、易造成误解，最后总结AI翻译无法取代外语学习，学习外语能帮助我们理解多元文化、更好与人交流。 【46题详解】 原文第一段“In the age of AI, some people think foreign language learning is out of date. There are many AI translation tools now...because technology can help us.”，一些人认为学外语过时是因为AI翻译工具可以完成翻译工作。 【47题详解】 第二段中心句为“AI translation tools are really useful in some situations”，后文举了帮助外国游客交流、保护濒危语言两个例子，本段主要讲AI翻译工具有用的方面。 【48题详解】 第三段主旨句“AI translation misses an important part of human communication: cultural differences behind words.”后文举中国人委婉拒绝邀请的例子佐证AI翻译无法体现文字背后的文化差异。 【49题详解】 文章结尾段点明主旨“AI translation is helpful in some cases, but it can never take the place of learning a foreign language”，作者想告诉我们学习外语依旧必要且重要。 E Classic Talks (《经典常谈》): A Door to Chinese Classics Classic Talks is a great book about Chinese traditional culture.

It is necessary for us to learn some self-rescue skills. If you fall into water carelessly, the most important thing is to stay calm. Do not struggle wildly, for it will make you run out of energy and sink quickly. Try to relax your body and lie on your back. In this way, you can float on the water and keep your head above water to breathe. Then shout for help loudly so that people nearby can notice you. If you see someone drowning, never jump into water to save them if you are not trained. You can shout for adults’ help, or use things like bamboo poles and life rings to reach them. Always remember: safety comes first. Swim only in safe areas with adults. 36. What is the most important thing when you fall into water? A. Swimming as fast as possible B. Staying calm C. Crying loudly D. Holding other people 37. What does the underlined word “float” mean in Chinese? A. 漂浮 B. 挣扎 C. 下沉 D. 呛水 38. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.

It is said that the Mid-Autumn Festival started more than 2,000 years ago. In ancient China, emperors would pray (祈祷) to the moon for a good harvest and celebrate with a big dinner.

The festival is enjoyed in different ways in different countries. In Vietnam, it is seen as “children’s day”, because kids have great fun during the festival. In Japan, people eat special rice balls for “moon viewing”. Besides, many Asian communities around the world also celebrate this festival.

C A famous 75-year study from Harvard shows that children who do chores will become more independent and successful when they grow up. Chores are very important for children’s development, as they bring many benefits. First, doing chores gives children a sense of achievement. They can see the results soon after finishing the work. When their parents thank them for their help, children will know they are useful to their families. This also encourages them to be more active in activities outside the home. Second, children learn that it is everyone’s duty to do housework. It stops them from growing up spoiled. They will understand that life doesn’t give everything for free. It takes effort to make their wishes come true. Third, doing chores helps children learn time management. Kids learn to plan their time for chores, study and other activities. This useful skill helps them balance work and life when they grow up. Besides, chores teach important life skills, such as washing dishes, sweeping the floor and making the bed. The only way to learn these skills is by doing them. Chores are not just about keeping the house clean. They are valuable life lessons for children. 43. According to the Harvard study, children who do chores will become ________ when they grow up. A. healthier and stronger B. more independent and successful C. more outgoing and popular D. better at their school lessons 44. Why can children get a sense of achievement from doing chores? A. Because they can get much pocket money. B. Because they finish their homework quickly. C. Because they see results and get parents’ thanks. D. Because they can play games after doing chores. 45. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Learning to do housework. B. Knowing the duty of doing chores. C. The sense of achievement. D. The hard life in the future. D In the age of AI, some people think foreign language learning is out of date. There are many AI translation tools now. They can translate foreign songs, websites and even spoken words right away. So some people say we don’t need to spend time learning a new language, because technology can help us. AI translation tools are really useful in some situations. For example, they help foreign tourists talk with local people easily. Translation technology also helps protect endangered languages. It can translate stories and poems in endangered languages into widely spoken languages. However, AI translation misses an important part of human communication: cultural differences behind words. If we only depend on AI to translate, we may have misunderstandings. For example, Chinese people usually don’t say “no” directly to refuse an invitation. Instead, they may say “It’s not very convenient”. AI translation can only translate the words, but it can’t tell that this is a polite refusal. An English speaker may wrongly think the person is still thinking about the invitation. In short, AI translation is helpful in some cases, but it can never take the place of learning a foreign language. True language learning helps us not only understand words, but also know about different cultures and connect with people better. 46. Why do some people think foreign language learning is out of date? A. Because AI translation tools can help with translation. B. Because learning foreign languages is too difficult. C. Because few people study foreign languages now. D. Because there are fewer foreign songs and websites. 47. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The importance of protecting endangered languages. B. Ways to use AI translation tools in daily life. C. The useful sides of AI translation tools. D. How to communicate with foreign tourists. 48. The example in Paragraph 3 shows that ________. A. AI translation can’t show cultural differences behind words B. Chinese people are not polite to refuse invitations C. English speakers can easily understand Chinese culture D. AI translation makes communication more difficult 49. What does the writer want to tell us? A. AI translation will take the place of language learning soon. B. It’s easy for people to learn a foreign language well. C. People should use AI translation as much as possible. D. Learning foreign languages is still necessary and important. E Classic Talks (《经典常谈》): A Door to Chinese Classics Classic Talks is a great book about Chinese traditional culture.
