Last summer, I got the chance to spend a month helping out in a hospital in Rwanda (卢旺达) with my parents. They work for a charity (慈善机构). I was interested in studying medicine in the future, so I decided to help in a hospital there for a month. I wanted to see if being a doctor was right for me.
That month changed my life. Rwanda was very different from the UK. People there had difficult lives, but they were always kind and helped each other. They smiled a lot and shared food. I learned that we sometimes forget how lucky we are.
In the hospital, my job was hard. I cleaned floors and changed beds every day. Sometimes, I talked to the patients and played games with them. I also asked the doctors about their work. They told me, “Our job is tiring. We work long hours and see sad things. But we love it because we can help our community.” Their words made me want to be a doctor even more.
Now, I have a clear dream. When I finish school, I want to join groups like the Red Cross (a group that helps sick people in many countries). I want to spend my life helping people who really need it. I can’t wait to get started!

How much do you know about AI engineers? They are like modern-day magicians who create smart computer programs. Today the world is filled with modern technology, and their importance is growing fast.
★ First, they write code (代码). Code is like a special language that allows humans to communicate with computers. They use popular programming languages such as Python and Java to tell the computer what to do. For example, they can create programs that help doctors find diseases (疾病) faster. They can also create systems that allow cars to drive autonomously, making traffic safer and more comfortable. What’s more, AI engineers teach computers to “learn” from data. Just like students learn from books, computers learn from information like pictures, words, and numbers. This learning ability helps computers make predictions and decisions.
To become an AI engineer, certain skills and knowledge are needed. You need to study maths, science, and computer science. Also, it’s very important to have good communication skills. AI engineers usually work in groups, and they have to tell their ideas clearly to workmates who come from different fields. You should also have good problem-solving skills. Sometimes, the programs don’t work as planned, and AI engineers need to find and solve the problems.
The future of AI engineers looks bright. As more and more companies use AI, the need for engineers grows. Whether it’s making our lives easier with smart home devices or helping businesses make better decisions. AI engineers play a key role. If you are interested in computers and want to create something new, becoming an AI engineer might be a great choice for you.
31.Which of the following can be put in ★ ?
A.AI engineers need to study hard. B.AI engineers are important.
C.AI engineers usually do these jobs. D.AI engineers need some skills.
32.What does the underlined word “autonomously” mean?
A.Very slowly. B.By themselves. C.With human’s help. D.In a dangerous way.
33.What BIG question does Paragraph 3 answer?
A.Why are AI programs important? B.What languages do AI engineers use?
C.How do AI engineers solve problems? D.What skills does an AI engineer need?
34.Why do AI engineers need problem-solving skills?
A.They have to work long hours. B.Programs may not run well.
C.Only they can solve the problem. D.They need to talk with others.
35.What would the writer write about after the last paragraph?
A.Examples of famous AI engineers. B.How to buy smart home things.
C.The importance of AI in daily life. D.Ways to start learning programming.
【答案】31.C 32.B 33.D 34.B 35.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了人工智能工程师的工作内容、所需技能以及未来前景,旨在让读者了解人工智能工程师这一职业并鼓励感兴趣的人投身其中。
【详解】31.推理判断题。根据“First, they write code (代码).”以及“What’s more, AI engineers teach computers to ‘learn’ from data.”可知,后文在介绍人工智能工程师的工作内容,选项C“人工智能工程师通常做这些工作”符合语境,可放在★处。故选C。
32.词句猜测题。根据“They can also create systems that allow cars to drive autonomously, making traffic safer and more comfortable.”可知,人工智能工程师创建的系统能让汽车自动驾驶,使交通更安全舒适,所以“autonomously”意思是“自动地,靠自己地”,选项B“靠他们自己”符合语境。故选B。
33.主旨大意题。根据“To become an AI engineer, certain skills and knowledge are needed.”可知,第三段主要介绍了成为一名人工智能工程师所需的技能和知识,选项D“人工智能工程师需要什么技能”符合段落主旨。故选D。
34.细节理解题。根据“Sometimes, the programs don’t work as planned, and AI engineers need to find and solve the problems.”可知,有时程序不能按计划运行,人工智能工程师需要找到并解决问题,所以他们需要解决问题的技能,选项B“程序可能运行不好”符合语境。故选B。
35.推理判断题。根据“If you are interested in computers and want to create something new, becoming an AI engineer might be a great choice for you.”可知,文章最后一段鼓励对计算机感兴趣并想创造新事物的人成为人工智能工程师,接下来可能会介绍如何开始学习编程,选项D“开始学习编程的方法”符合语境。故选D。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Choosing a career (职业) is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make in life. It’s not just about earning money—it’s about finding work that makes you excited to get up in the morning. While you don’t need to decide right now, taking small steps to explore your choices can help you feel more confident about your future. 36
First, start by looking inward (向内审视).Take a piece of paper and list your favorite school subjects, hobbies, and talents. Do you like painting or dancing? Do friends always ask you for help with math problems? 37 For example, if you love animals and science, a wildlife biologist might be a great choice.
Second, 38 Adults who work in different fields can share valuable ideas you won’t find in books. Interview your neighbor who’s an engineer, or ask your teacher why they chose education. You might learn that some jobs are more creative or challenging than you imagined. Don’t be afraid to ask: “What do you love most about your job?” or “What skills do you use every day?”
Third, get real-world experience. 39 Join a robotics club if you think you might like engineering, or help organize events at your school to see if event planning is fun. Volunteer at an animal shelter (庇护所) to experience caring for pets, or start a small blog to practice writing skills. These activities not only build your experiences but also show you what you enjoy (or don’t enjoy!).
Finally, don’t stress about making a final choice yet. 40 It’s normal to change your mind as you grow. That’s okay! Career planning is a journey, not a race. What matters is staying curious, learning new things, and keeping an open mind. One day, you’ll find a career that feels like the perfect fit for you.
A.Here’s how to start.
B.talk to people with different jobs.
C.These clues can point to careers that match your strengths.
D.The best way to test if a career interests you is to try it out!
E.Maybe you wanted to be a teacher in fifth grade, but now you’re curious about medicine.
【答案】36.A 37.C 38.B 39.D 40.E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了探索职业选择的几个步骤,包括向内审视、与人交流、获取实践经验以及保持开放心态。
【详解】36.上文提出“探索职业选择”,下文开始分点介绍具体步骤,A项“Here’s how to start.”起到承上启下的作用,自然引出下文,逻辑通顺。
37.上文要求列出“喜欢的科目、爱好和才能”,下文举例说明这些特质如何对应职业,C项“These clues can point to careers that match your strengths.”精准承接上下文,将个人特质与职业选择关联。
38.本段核心是“与不同领域的成年人交流,获取职业见解”,B项“talk to people with different jobs.”直接概括本段主旨,与后文“采访邻居、询问老师”的例子完全呼应。
39.本段小标题为“获取实践经验”,后文列举了参加俱乐部、做志愿者等亲身尝试的例子,D项“The best way to test if a career interests you is to try it out!”完美契合“实践检验兴趣”的主题。
40.上文强调“不必急于做最终决定”,下文指出“改变主意是正常的”,E项“Maybe you wanted to be a teacher in fifth grade, but now you’re curious about medicine.”用具体例子说明职业兴趣会随时间变化,与上下文逻辑高度一致。

【导语】本文讲述了Jason的班级参观警察局的故事,他的阿姨Lisa担任向导,孩子们了解了警察的工作,体验了警车,见到了警犬,并目睹了警察紧急出动的情景,这次经历激发了Jason想要成为警察的梦想。
【详解】41.句意:他的阿姨Lisa在那里工作,她将是他们的向导。
Lisa带领大家参观,承担向导的角色,应用guide。keeper“保管员”、guest“客人”、customer“顾客”均不符合带领参观的语境。
42.句意:第二天,Jason的班级到达警察局大厅,等待Lisa阿姨带他们参观。
他们来到警察局,应用arrived at表示“到达”。called“打电话”、looked“看”、laughed“笑”均无法表示到达某地的动作。
43.句意:首先,Lisa阿姨带他们去了办公室,他们了解了警察的工作。
在警察局内参观,首先去的应该是警察工作的场所,即offices“办公室”。libraries“图书馆”、museums“博物馆”、parks“公园”都不是警察局的组成部分。
44.句意:然后,他们看到了一些不同的警车,比如巡逻车和摩托车。
巡逻车和摩托车是不同类型的警车,应用different表示“不同的”。big“大的”、new“新的”、modern“现代的”虽然可以形容警车,但无法涵盖种类多样的含义。
45.句意:他们试戴了警帽并坐在巡逻车里。
在车里通常是坐着,应用sat。stood“站立”、slept“睡觉”、travelled“旅行”均不符合在车里短暂体验的情景。
46.句意:他们开心地笑着和警官们拍了很多有趣的照片。
拍照时开心的表情应用laughed“笑”。encouraged“鼓励”、drove“开车”、drew“画画”均与拍照时的情绪无关。
47.句意:“打扰一下,这里有警犬吗?”Tom,Jason的一个同学问道。
Tom是Jason班级的一员,因此是同学,应用classmates。brothers“兄弟”、sisters“姐妹”、parents“父母”均不符合班级集体活动的关系。
48.句意:他的名字是Max,他能帮我们找到失踪的人和其他东西。
警犬Max是雄性,应用形容词性物主代词His。My“我的”、Your“你的”、Her“她的”均指代错误。
49.句意:当Lisa阿姨带他们参观时,突然铃声响了!
铃声响起是突发情况,应用suddenly“突然地”。surely“当然”、immediately“立即”、especially“尤其”均不能准确表达意外发生的感觉。
50.句意:我们很幸运能看到警察帮助有需要的人的速度有多快。
警察出警是为了帮助人们,应用help。call“打电话”、invite“邀请”、encourage“鼓励”均不是警察紧急出动的主要目的。
51.句意:你必须勇敢并且准备好帮助他人。
警察工作常面临危险,需要勇敢,应用brave。cool“酷”、creative“有创造力”、clever“聪明”虽然也是优点,但不是警察职业最核心的品质。
52.句意:我想知道是否有人想做这份工作。
Lisa在询问在座的孩子们是否有任何人想当警察,应用anybody,常用于疑问句。somebody通常用于肯定句,everybody“每个人”、nobody“没有人”均不符合疑问语气。
53.句意:那天晚上,Jason兴奋地告诉父母这次去警察局的精彩之旅。
这次参观是一次短途旅行,应用trip。meeting“会议”、picnic“野餐”、exam“考试”均与参观警察局的活动不符。
54.句意:这对我来说很难,但我会为之努力。
当警察充满挑战,应用hard“困难的”。strict“严格的”、helpful“有帮助的”、good“好的”均不能表达需要努力克服困难的意思。
55.句意:我相信你能实现你的梦想!
Jason表达了想当警察的愿望,这是他的梦想,应用dream。exercise“练习”、speech“演讲”、stress“压力”均不符合语境。

Last summer, I got the chance to spend a month helping out in a hospital in Rwanda (卢旺达) with my parents. They work for a charity (慈善机构). I was interested in studying medicine in the future, so I decided to help in a hospital there for a month. I wanted to see if being a doctor was right for me.
That month changed my life. Rwanda was very different from the UK. People there had difficult lives, but they were always kind and helped each other. They smiled a lot and shared food. I learned that we sometimes forget how lucky we are.
In the hospital, my job was hard. I cleaned floors and changed beds every day. Sometimes, I talked to the patients and played games with them. I also asked the doctors about their work. They told me, “Our job is tiring. We work long hours and see sad things. But we love it because we can help our community.” Their words made me want to be a doctor even more.
Now, I have a clear dream. When I finish school, I want to join groups like the Red Cross (a group that helps sick people in many countries). I want to spend my life helping people who really need it. I can’t wait to get started!

How much do you know about AI engineers? They are like modern-day magicians who create smart computer programs. Today the world is filled with modern technology, and their importance is growing fast.
★ First, they write code (代码). Code is like a special language that allows humans to communicate with computers. They use popular programming languages such as Python and Java to tell the computer what to do. For example, they can create programs that help doctors find diseases (疾病) faster. They can also create systems that allow cars to drive autonomously, making traffic safer and more comfortable. What’s more, AI engineers teach computers to “learn” from data. Just like students learn from books, computers learn from information like pictures, words, and numbers. This learning ability helps computers make predictions and decisions.
To become an AI engineer, certain skills and knowledge are needed. You need to study maths, science, and computer science. Also, it’s very important to have good communication skills. AI engineers usually work in groups, and they have to tell their ideas clearly to workmates who come from different fields. You should also have good problem-solving skills. Sometimes, the programs don’t work as planned, and AI engineers need to find and solve the problems.
The future of AI engineers looks bright. As more and more companies use AI, the need for engineers grows. Whether it’s making our lives easier with smart home devices or helping businesses make better decisions. AI engineers play a key role. If you are interested in computers and want to create something new, becoming an AI engineer might be a great choice for you.
31.Which of the following can be put in ★ ?
A.AI engineers need to study hard. B.AI engineers are important.
C.AI engineers usually do these jobs. D.AI engineers need some skills.
32.What does the underlined word “autonomously” mean?
A.Very slowly. B.By themselves. C.With human’s help. D.In a dangerous way.
33.What BIG question does Paragraph 3 answer?
A.Why are AI programs important? B.What languages do AI engineers use?
C.How do AI engineers solve problems? D.What skills does an AI engineer need?
34.Why do AI engineers need problem-solving skills?
A.They have to work long hours. B.Programs may not run well.
C.Only they can solve the problem. D.They need to talk with others.
35.What would the writer write about after the last paragraph?
A.Examples of famous AI engineers. B.How to buy smart home things.
C.The importance of AI in daily life. D.Ways to start learning programming.
D
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Choosing a career (职业) is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make in life. It’s not just about earning money—it’s about finding work that makes you excited to get up in the morning. While you don’t need to decide right now, taking small steps to explore your choices can help you feel more confident about your future. 36
First, start by looking inward (向内审视).Take a piece of paper and list your favorite school subjects, hobbies, and talents. Do you like painting or dancing? Do friends always ask you for help with math problems? 37 For example, if you love animals and science, a wildlife biologist might be a great choice.
Second, 38 Adults who work in different fields can share valuable ideas you won’t find in books. Interview your neighbor who’s an engineer, or ask your teacher why they chose education. You might learn that some jobs are more creative or challenging than you imagined. Don’t be afraid to ask: “What do you love most about your job?” or “What skills do you use every day?”
Third, get real-world experience. 39 Join a robotics club if you think you might like engineering, or help organize events at your school to see if event planning is fun. Volunteer at an animal shelter (庇护所) to experience caring for pets, or start a small blog to practice writing skills. These activities not only build your experiences but also show you what you enjoy (or don’t enjoy!).
Finally, don’t stress about making a final choice yet. 40 It’s normal to change your mind as you grow. That’s okay! Career planning is a journey, not a race. What matters is staying curious, learning new things, and keeping an open mind. One day, you’ll find a career that feels like the perfect fit for you.
A.Here’s how to start.
B.talk to people with different jobs.
C.These clues can point to careers that match your strengths.
D.The best way to test if a career interests you is to try it out!
E.Maybe you wanted to be a teacher in fifth grade, but now you’re curious about medicine.

Last summer, I got the chance to spend a month helping out in a hospital in Rwanda (卢旺达) with my parents. They work for a charity (慈善机构). I was interested in studying medicine in the future, so I decided to help in a hospital there for a month. I wanted to see if being a doctor was right for me.
That month changed my life. Rwanda was very different from the UK. People there had difficult lives, but they were always kind and helped each other. They smiled a lot and shared food. I learned that we sometimes forget how lucky we are.
In the hospital, my job was hard. I cleaned floors and changed beds every day. Sometimes, I talked to the patients and played games with them. I also asked the doctors about their work. They told me, “Our job is tiring. We work long hours and see sad things. But we love it because we can help our community.” Their words made me want to be a doctor even more.
Now, I have a clear dream. When I finish school, I want to join groups like the Red Cross (a group that helps sick people in many countries). I want to spend my life helping people who really need it. I can’t wait to get started!

How much do you know about AI engineers? They are like modern-day magicians who create smart computer programs. Today the world is filled with modern technology, and their importance is growing fast.
★ First, they write code (代码). Code is like a special language that allows humans to communicate with computers. They use popular programming languages such as Python and Java to tell the computer what to do. For example, they can create programs that help doctors find diseases (疾病) faster. They can also create systems that allow cars to drive autonomously, making traffic safer and more comfortable. What’s more, AI engineers teach computers to “learn” from data. Just like students learn from books, computers learn from information like pictures, words, and numbers. This learning ability helps computers make predictions and decisions.
To become an AI engineer, certain skills and knowledge are needed. You need to study maths, science, and computer science. Also, it’s very important to have good communication skills. AI engineers usually work in groups, and they have to tell their ideas clearly to workmates who come from different fields. You should also have good problem-solving skills. Sometimes, the programs don’t work as planned, and AI engineers need to find and solve the problems.
The future of AI engineers looks bright. As more and more companies use AI, the need for engineers grows. Whether it’s making our lives easier with smart home devices or helping businesses make better decisions. AI engineers play a key role. If you are interested in computers and want to create something new, becoming an AI engineer might be a great choice for you.
31.Which of the following can be put in ★ ?
A.AI engineers need to study hard. B.AI engineers are important.
C.AI engineers usually do these jobs. D.AI engineers need some skills.
32.What does the underlined word “autonomously” mean?
A.Very slowly. B.By themselves. C.With human’s help. D.In a dangerous way.
33.What BIG question does Paragraph 3 answer?
A.Why are AI programs important? B.What languages do AI engineers use?
C.How do AI engineers solve problems? D.What skills does an AI engineer need?
34.Why do AI engineers need problem-solving skills?
A.They have to work long hours. B.Programs may not run well.
C.Only they can solve the problem. D.They need to talk with others.
35.What would the writer write about after the last paragraph?
A.Examples of famous AI engineers. B.How to buy smart home things.
C.The importance of AI in daily life. D.Ways to start learning programming.
D
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Choosing a career (职业) is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make in life. It’s not just about earning money—it’s about finding work that makes you excited to get up in the morning. While you don’t need to decide right now, taking small steps to explore your choices can help you feel more confident about your future. 36
First, start by looking inward (向内审视).Take a piece of paper and list your favorite school subjects, hobbies, and talents. Do you like painting or dancing? Do friends always ask you for help with math problems? 37 For example, if you love animals and science, a wildlife biologist might be a great choice.
Second, 38 Adults who work in different fields can share valuable ideas you won’t find in books. Interview your neighbor who’s an engineer, or ask your teacher why they chose education. You might learn that some jobs are more creative or challenging than you imagined. Don’t be afraid to ask: “What do you love most about your job?” or “What skills do you use every day?”
Third, get real-world experience. 39 Join a robotics club if you think you might like engineering, or help organize events at your school to see if event planning is fun. Volunteer at an animal shelter (庇护所) to experience caring for pets, or start a small blog to practice writing skills. These activities not only build your experiences but also show you what you enjoy (or don’t enjoy!).
Finally, don’t stress about making a final choice yet. 40 It’s normal to change your mind as you grow. That’s okay! Career planning is a journey, not a race. What matters is staying curious, learning new things, and keeping an open mind. One day, you’ll find a career that feels like the perfect fit for you.
A.Here’s how to start.
B.talk to people with different jobs.
C.These clues can point to careers that match your strengths.
D.The best way to test if a career interests you is to try it out!
E.Maybe you wanted to be a teacher in fifth grade, but now you’re curious about medicine.
