Many of us use AI-powered tools without even noticing. For example, when we want to know about the weather, learn about how to cook or just want to play a song, we are using smart speakers. These devices (设备) can understand our voices and give quick responses (回应), making our lives more convenient. AI also helps a lot in education. Some learning apps use AI to create personalized (个性化的) study plans for students. If a student is weak in math, the app will prepare more math exercises and explain difficult points in a way that fits the student’s learning speed. This helps students learn better and faster. What’s more, AI plays a role in keeping our homes safe. Smart home systems with AI can recognize* family members’ faces and open the door without keys. If a stranger tries to break in, the system will send an alarm to the homeowner’s phone. It can bring great safety to our life. But AI also has some challenges to our lives. For example, too much use of AI can make us lazy. We may depend on AI to write articles or solve math problems instead of thinking by ourselves. This is not good for us to learn and develop habits. This may also be bad for developing our critical thinking (批判性思维). All in all, AI is changing our lives in many positive (积极的) ways. We need to learn to use it in the correct way and solve the challenges it brings to us. Let’s enjoy it properly.*The word “recognize” means to know who someone is or what something is when you see or hear them. 1．What can’t smart speakers help us do to make our lives more convenient according to the first paragraph? A．Knowing about the weather. B．Learning how to cook. C．Playing a song. D．Putting on a coat. 2．What does the underlined word “break in” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A．闯入 B．破坏 C．击败 D．砸碎 3．Which of the following is the correct way of using AI according to the passage? A．Lucy uses AI to finish all her homework without thinking every day. B．Mary believes everything that AI tells her. C．Tony sends other people’s photos to an AI and asks it to make a video. D．Tom asks AI to make a weekly study plan for him. 4．What does the writer want to tell us? A．We can depend on AI to do everything. B．We should use AI properly though it’s truly useful. C．Only AI can make our lives more convenient. D．AI will take humans’ place one day. 长难句解析 （1）原文：These devices can understand our voices and give quick responses, making our lives more convenient.这些设备能够听懂我们的语音，并快速给出回应，让我们的生活更加便利。 句子分析 1. 主干：These devices can understand our voices and give quick responses. 主语 these devices，谓语由`can understand`和`(can) give`并列构成。 2. `making our lives more convenient`：现在分词作结果状语，表示前面整件事带来的自然而然的结果（智能设备听懂语音、快速回应，因此使生活更便利）。 3. 结构：make + 宾语 + 宾语补足语（make our lives + more convenient），make sth + 形容词，“使某物……”。 （2）原文：Some learning apps use AI to create personalized study plans for students.一些学习软件利用人工智能为学生制定个性化学习方案。 句子分析 1. 主干：Some learning apps use AI。主语 some learning apps；谓语 use；宾语 AI。 2. `to create personalized study plans`：**动词不定式作目的状语**，表示使用 AI 的目的 —— 来制定个性化学习计划。 3. `for students`介词短语作状语，表对象，为学生。 4. 短语：use sth to do sth 使用某物去做某事（高频短语）。 （3）原文：We may depend on AI to write articles or solve math problems instead of thinking by ourselves.我们可能会依赖人工智能写作文、解数学题，而不再独立思考。 句子分析 1. 主干：We may depend on AI。主语 we；情态动词 may + 动词短语 depend on（依赖）作谓语；宾语 AI。 2. `to write articles or solve math problems`：不定式作目的状语，依赖 AI 用来做两件事：写文章、解数学题。 3. `instead of thinking by ourselves`：instead of “而不是”，of 是介词，后面动词要用动名词 doing 形式 【答案与解析】 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了人工智能（AI）已经深入到我们日常生活的各个方面，包括智能音箱、教育学习、家庭安全防护等应用，并指出AI既带来便利也存在挑战，倡导我们正确合理地使用AI。 【详解】1．根据文章第1段“when we want to know about the weather, learn about how to cook or just want to play a song, we are using smart speakers”可知，智能音箱可以帮助我们了解天气、学习烹饪、播放歌曲，无法帮助我们穿外套。 2．根据文章第3段“Smart home systems with AI can recognize family members’ faces and open the door without keys.

A nation that relies on another country’s navigation system may face risks if the system is ever disrupted or used against them. That is why China decided to develop its own Beidou Navigation Satellite System. One of the main reasons for developing an independent system is security. A military or country that uses GPS is dependent on the United States. If there is a conflict, the U.S. could potentially disable GPS in certain regions. By having Beidou, China can ensure its military and civil services have reliable navigation at all times. Another reason is economic development. A national navigation system supports many industries. Transportation, logistics, and agriculture all depend on accurate positioning. By having its own system, China can save money and avoid paying for foreign services. It also creates high-tech jobs for Chinese scientists and engineers. Finally, having an independent navigation system is a matter of national pride. It shows that a country has the technological capability to compete on a global level. Beidou is a symbol of China’s progress in science and technology. It inspires young people to pursue careers in engineering and innovation. 1．What is the main idea of the passage? A．GPS is the best navigation system. B．Independent navigation systems are important for security, economy, and pride. C．Beidou is only used by the military. D．China should not have its own navigation system. 2．Why is an independent navigation system important for security? A．It is cheaper. B．It prevents dependence on other countries. C．It is more accurate. D．It is easier to use. 3．How does Beidou support economic development? A．By providing free services. B．By supporting industries like transportation and agriculture. C．By creating new languages. D．By building new roads. 4．What does Beidou symbolize? A．China’s progress in science and technology. B．China’s food production. C．China’s population growth. D．China’s ancient history. 5．What does the author suggest at the end? A．Beidou is not important. B．Beidou inspires young people to pursue careers in engineering. C．Only scientists should use Beidou. D．Beidou should be replaced by GPS. 【答案与解析】 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．B 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文主要阐述独立导航系统对国家安全、经济发展、民族自豪感的重要意义，并以北斗导航系统为例，从安全保障、产业助推、精神价值三个层面介绍建设自主导航系统的多重价值。 【详解】1．首尾段点明独立导航系统关乎国家安全、经济发展、民族自豪感：“Independent navigation systems are important for security, economy, and pride”，这直接概括文章整体主旨。 2．第二段说明安全层面的缘由：“A military or country that uses GPS is dependent on the United States.

The performance connects traditional kung fu with the modern AI-powered humanoid robots. Humanoid robots, which have a lot of important parts like sensors (传感器) and AI systems, are machines that look and act like human beings. Then why are they made like human beings? This is because most things around us, like doors and stairs, are made for our size and shape. If they look like us, they can use these things like we do. As a result, we don’t need to make big changes to these things. This can save a lot of money and time. Humanoid robots serve as new tools that work with and for humans in different fields. In the factories, humanoid robots carry car parts, pack goods and move boxes. They actually do the boring repeated human work. At home, they help clean floors, tidy rooms, make coffee and iron the clothes. In hospitals, they send medicine and help nurses lift patients. Schools buy humanoid robots for STEM classes. Shopping malls and restaurants use them to give performances to welcome guests. Most importantly, humanoid robots can work as policemen going on patrols (巡逻) in our neighborhood, and this provides us with a safe environment. Nowadays, with the fast development of science and technology, humanoid robots have been developing quickly from lab inventions to real-life helpers. More companies have started to produce them in large numbers. Because of mass production, the cost of humanoid robots has dropped a lot, so even small workshops can afford them. By 2050, there will be about 930 million humanoid robots doing simple jobs. Around 80 million humanoid robots will work in homes. China will probably have the world’s most humanoid robots. Some experts believe that they will become as common as household appliances (家用电器) in the future. 1．Why does the writer mention the fun performance WuBOT in Paragraph 1? A．To advertise a TV programme. B．To lead in the topic of the text. C．To introduce the Spring Festival Gala. D．To spread traditional Chinese kung fu. 2．What does the word “they” refer to in Paragraph 2? A．Sensors. B．Machines. C．AI systems. D．Humanoid robots. 3．What can we learn about humanoid robots in Paragraph 3? A．They can only do the repeated work. B．They have taken the place of humans. C．They are widely used in different fields. D．They have developed slowly at present. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The types of humanoid robots B．The shapes of humanoid robots C．The appearance of humanoid robots D．The introduction to humanoid robots 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了人形机器人。文章从春晚表演引入话题，解释了机器人设计成人形的原因，列举了它们在工厂、家庭、医院等不同领域的广泛应用，并展望了它们未来像家电一样普及的发展前景。 【详解】1．第一段指出：“At the CCTV 2026 Spring Festival Gala, a fun performance called WuBOT became very popular... The performance connects traditional kung fu with the modern AI-powered humanoid robots.”作者通过描述这个引人注目的表演，自然地引出了本文的核心话题——人形机器人。 2．第二段中提到：“If they look like us, they can use these things like we do.”结合上文“This is because most things around us... are made for our size and shape.”可知，这里的“they”指代的是前文一直在讨论的主体，即为了适应人类环境而被制造成人类样子的“人形机器人”。 3．第三段首句提到：“Humanoid robots serve as new tools that work with and for humans in different fields.”随后文章列举了工厂、家庭、医院、学校、商场等多个场景。这说明人形机器人被广泛应用于不同的领域。 4．通读全文可知，文章第一段引出人形机器人，第二段解释其外形设计原因，第三段介绍其广泛应用，第四段展望其未来发展。整篇文章是对人形机器人的全面介绍。 Passage2 （2026·浙江杭州·中考真题） Motorcycle helmets are important. They protect riders from getting hurt. Last year, about 1872 riders in the US were saved because of helmet use. Effective helmets do more than protect people in accidents. They also help keep wind and small flying pieces off riders’ faces. Before the 1970s, motorcycle helmets were made of plastic, offering little protection. Today, they are made of carbon-fibre (碳纤维), much lighter and stronger than before. Now, they are safer and more comfortable. With the development of technology, modern helmets are smarter. Through Bluetooth connected speakers, riders can make telephone calls as they travel along the road. Cameras are also found in modern helmets. They can record what is happening ahead like the cameras in cars and they are easy to control through voice. The visors in certain helmets are able to change their colour. They become dark when the sun shines too brightly or when strong light from cars and trucks hit riders’ faces. In this way, riders can avoid strong light and see better. These days, AI is changing people’s way of life. For motorcycle riders, AI can now be placed inside helmets to achieve greater safety. One such example is the iC-R smart helmet. This helmet can show the objects around the motorcycle. The riders don’t need to turn their heads or take their eyes off the road ahead to get a better sense of the road situation. The helmet can also receive all the important information, such as speed, direction and traffic accidents. When a rider decides where to go, the helmet shows different ways to get there on the inside of the visor. It can even warn the rider when necessary, like when a motorcycle gets too close to a car. 1．Why does the writer mention the number “1872” in Paragraph 1? A．To show the fun of riding motorcycles. B．To explain the influence of strong wind. C．To tell the importance of wearing helmets. D．To point out the danger of fast motorcycling. 2．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Riders. B．Cameras. C．Speakers. D．Visors. 3．What is special about the iC-R smart helmet? A．It speeds up the motorcycle. B．It sends warnings to other riders. C．It offers riders traffic information. D．It clears the flying pieces on the road. 4．What’s the main idea of the text? A．Motorcycle riders are learning AI skills. B．Motorcycle helmets with AI are in great need. C．Motorcycling is becoming more and more popular. D．Motorcycle helmets are getting smarter and safer. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了摩托车头盔的作用、材质演变，以及搭载现代科技与人工智能的新型智能头盔的各项功能，展现头盔向着更安全、更智能的方向发展。 【详解】1．根据文章第1段前三句“Motorcycle helmets are important. They protect riders from getting hurt. Last year, about 1872 riders in the US were saved because of helmet use.”可推知，作者通过约1872名骑手因头盔获救的具体数据，直观体现头盔的保护价值，以此说明佩戴头盔的重要性。 2．根据文章第3段第三、四句“Cameras are also found in modern helmets. They can record what is happening ahead like the cameras in cars and they are easy to control through voice.”可推知，划线词They指代前文中提到的、安装在现代头盔里的摄像头，这类摄像头可以记录前方发生的情况。 3．根据文章第4段第六句“The helmet can also receive all the important information, such as speed, direction and traffic accidents.”可推知，iC-R智能头盔的特别之处在于它可以接收速度、方向、交通事故等交通信息，并提供给骑手。 4．全文围绕摩托车头盔展开，先后介绍了头盔的基础保护作用、材质升级带来的安全性与舒适度提升，以及现代智能头盔的新功能、AI技术为头盔带来的更强安全保障，核心内容是摩托车头盔正变得更智能、更安全。 Passage 1 My Experience with High-Speed Rail Last summer, I traveled from Beijing to Shanghai by high-speed train.

However, they are not the same. Understanding the differences between them can help us better understand how they work together to improve our lives. Science is the study of the natural world. Scientists ask questions about how things work and try to find answers through experiments and observations. Science is about understanding the world as it is. Engineering, on the other hand, is about creating new things. Engineers use scientific knowledge to design and build solutions to problems. They create the world that has never been. Technology is the use of scientific knowledge to achieve engineering goals. It includes tools, machines, and systems that we use in our daily lives. For example, the smartphone is a technology that uses scientific knowledge in engineering. Technology helps us solve problems and make our lives more convenient. These three fields are closely connected. Scientific discoveries often lead to new technologies. Engineering turns those technologies into practical applications. Without science, engineering would not have the knowledge it needs. Without engineering, technology would not exist. They work together to make progress possible. 1．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Science is more important than engineering. B．Science, engineering, and technology are different but closely connected. C．Technology is the most important of the three. D．Engineering is the same as technology. 2．What does science study?

At first, the result seemed 1 : the system found a blue bottle even when the owner’s photo showed only half of it. Problems appeared during a real test. The program often confused identical black umbrellas. It also gave a high match score to any red bag, although shape and size were 2 . More seriously, a test photo included a student’s face in the background. The team had built an object finder, but they had also created a system that could collect 3 information. The students changed both the technology and the rules. Faces and name tags were automatically covered before a photo was 4 . Images stayed on the school computer instead of being sent to an outside service. A match was shown as a 5 , not a final decision. Staff still checked where and when the object had been found. To improve 6 , the team added side views and size markers. Yet they refused to train the program on secretly collected photos. Fewer images meant slower improvement, but consent was treated as part of the design rather than a delay. The revised system recovered 63 percent of test objects. That number was lower than the first exciting claim, which had counted several wrong matches. The team presented both the 7 and the failures at the science fair. Their project did not win the “Most Powerful Technology” prize. It received an award for responsible problem-solving. The students learned that a better tool is not simply one that can do more. It is one 8 purpose is clear, 9 limits are reported and whose users keep a meaningful 10 in the final decision. 1．A．private B．ordinary C．impressive 2．A．different B．equal C．safe 3．A．natural B．personal C．public 4．A．stored B．drawn C．returned 5．A．promise B．record C．suggestion 6．A．ability B．accuracy C．activity 7．A．prices B．names C．successes 8．A．whose B．which C．what 9．A．its B．whose C．their 10．A．voice B．picture C．secret 【答案】 1．C 2．A 3．B 4．A 5．C 6．B 7．C 8．A 9．B 10．A 【导语】本文讲述和平学校学生研发失物招领相机系统，经技术与伦理改进，虽未获最强技术奖，但赢得负责任问题解决奖的故事。 【详解】1．句意：起初，结果似乎很令人印象深刻：即使失主照片只显示了半个蓝色瓶子，系统也能找到它。 根据“the system found a blue bottle even when the owner’s photo showed only half of it”，可知系统表现出乎意料地好，impressive“令人印象深刻的”，符合语境。private“私密的”，ordinary“普通的”，均不符合语境。 2．句意：它也会给任何红色袋子打出高匹配分数，尽管形状和大小都不同。 根据“confused identical black umbrellas”和“gave a high match score to any red bag”，可知系统忽略了形状和大小的差异，different“不同的”，符合语境。equal“相等的”，safe“安全的”，均不符合语境。 3．句意：团队建造的是物品查找器，但他们也创造了一个可能收集个人信息的系统。 根据“Faces and name tags were automatically covered”可知系统可能采集面部和姓名等个人隐私信息，personal“个人的”，符合语境。natural“自然的”，public“公共的”，均不符合语境。 4．句意：在照片被存储之前，人脸和姓名标签会被自动遮盖。 根据“Faces and name tags were automatically covered”和“Images stayed on the school computer”可知处理发生在照片保存时，stored“存储”，符合语境。drawn“绘制”，returned“归还”，均不符合语境。 5．句意：匹配结果被显示为建议，而非最终决定。 根据“Staff still checked where and when the object had been found”可知匹配结果需人工复核，故此处表达“建议”。suggestion“建议”，符合语境。promise“承诺”，record“记录”，均不符合语境。 6．句意：为提高准确性，团队增加了侧面视图和尺寸标记。 根据“confused identical black umbrellas”和“gave a high match score to any red bag”可知系统在精确识别方面存在问题，accuracy“准确性”，符合语境。ability“能力”，activity“活动”，均不符合语境。 7．句意：团队在科学展上同时展示了成功和失败案例。 根据“the failures”可知此处与“failures”并列，表示成果与失败，故此处表达“成功”。successes“成功”，符合语境。prices“价格”，names“名字”，均不符合语境。 8．句意：它是一个目的明确、限制被报告、且用户在最终决定中保留有意义发言权的工具。 根据定语从句结构，先行词“one”（指代tool）与“purpose”之间为所属关系，whose“……的”，符合语境。which不能表示所属关系，what不能引导定语从句，均不符合语法规则。 9．句意：它是一个目的明确、限制被报告、且用户在最终决定中保留有意义发言权的工具。 本句与上一空并列，同为“whose”引导的定语从句，修饰“tool”，表示“其限制被报告”。whose“……的”，符合语境。its不能引导从句，their不能引导从句且单复数不一致，均不符合语法规则。 10．句意：它是一个目的明确、限制被报告、且用户在最终决定中保留有意义发言权的工具。 根据“Staff still checked where and when”和“not a final decision”可知用户/工作人员对最终决定有发言权，voice“发言权”，符合语境。picture“图片”，secret“秘密”，均不符合语境。 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 2 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 5 Path to a Better World 人与社会：科技发展与人类进步 单元阅读精练 版块 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 时文阅读 PassageA 阅读理解 说明文 310 介绍了人工智能（AI）已经深入到我们日常生活的各个方面，包括智能音箱、教育学习、家庭安全防护等应用 PassageB 阅读理解 说明文 206 阐述独立导航系统对国家安全、经济发展、民族自豪感的重要意义，并以北斗导航系统为例，从安全保障、产业助推、精神价值三个层面介绍建设自主导航系统的多重价值。 真题示例 Passage1 阅读理解 说明文 343 主要介绍了人形机器人。 Passage2 阅读理解 说明文 294 介绍了摩托车头盔的作用、材质演变，以及搭载现代科技与人工智能的新型智能头盔的各项功能。 模拟演练 Passage1 阅读理解 记叙文 170 讲述了自己去年夏天乘坐高铁从北京到上海的经历，描述了高铁的速度、舒适度以及对中国科技发展的自豪之情。 Passage2 阅读理解 记叙文 212 介绍了人工智能的定义、能力、两大分类，同时谈及人工智能带来的益处与人们的担忧。 Passage3 选词填空 记叙文 223 讲述了一位名叫Rizwan的外国旅行者在重庆观看无人机表演时，对比了祖国战争中使用无人机带来的伤害与中国和平使用无人机带来的便利，表达了对和平的渴望。 Passage4 完形填空 记叙文 297 讲述和平学校学生研发失物招领相机系统，经技术与伦理改进，虽未获最强技术奖，但赢得负责任问题解决奖的故事。 · 1.

Many of us use AI-powered tools without even noticing. For example, when we want to know about the weather, learn about how to cook or just want to play a song, we are using smart speakers. These devices (设备) can understand our voices and give quick responses (回应), making our lives more convenient. AI also helps a lot in education. Some learning apps use AI to create personalized (个性化的) study plans for students. If a student is weak in math, the app will prepare more math exercises and explain difficult points in a way that fits the student’s learning speed. This helps students learn better and faster. What’s more, AI plays a role in keeping our homes safe. Smart home systems with AI can recognize* family members’ faces and open the door without keys. If a stranger tries to break in, the system will send an alarm to the homeowner’s phone. It can bring great safety to our life. But AI also has some challenges to our lives. For example, too much use of AI can make us lazy. We may depend on AI to write articles or solve math problems instead of thinking by ourselves. This is not good for us to learn and develop habits. This may also be bad for developing our critical thinking (批判性思维). All in all, AI is changing our lives in many positive (积极的) ways. We need to learn to use it in the correct way and solve the challenges it brings to us. Let’s enjoy it properly.*The word “recognize” means to know who someone is or what something is when you see or hear them. 1．What can’t smart speakers help us do to make our lives more convenient according to the first paragraph? A．Knowing about the weather. B．Learning how to cook. C．Playing a song. D．Putting on a coat. 2．What does the underlined word “break in” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A．闯入 B．破坏 C．击败 D．砸碎 3．Which of the following is the correct way of using AI according to the passage? A．Lucy uses AI to finish all her homework without thinking every day. B．Mary believes everything that AI tells her. C．Tony sends other people’s photos to an AI and asks it to make a video. D．Tom asks AI to make a weekly study plan for him. 4．What does the writer want to tell us? A．We can depend on AI to do everything. B．We should use AI properly though it’s truly useful. C．Only AI can make our lives more convenient. D．AI will take humans’ place one day. 长难句解析 （1）原文：These devices can understand our voices and give quick responses, making our lives more convenient.这些设备能够听懂我们的语音，并快速给出回应，让我们的生活更加便利。 句子分析 1. 主干：These devices can understand our voices and give quick responses. 主语 these devices，谓语由`can understand`和`(can) give`并列构成。 2. `making our lives more convenient`：现在分词作结果状语，表示前面整件事带来的自然而然的结果（智能设备听懂语音、快速回应，因此使生活更便利）。 3. 结构：make + 宾语 + 宾语补足语（make our lives + more convenient），make sth + 形容词，“使某物……”。 （2）原文：Some learning apps use AI to create personalized study plans for students.一些学习软件利用人工智能为学生制定个性化学习方案。 句子分析 1. 主干：Some learning apps use AI。主语 some learning apps；谓语 use；宾语 AI。 2. `to create personalized study plans`：**动词不定式作目的状语**，表示使用 AI 的目的 —— 来制定个性化学习计划。 3. `for students`介词短语作状语，表对象，为学生。 4. 短语：use sth to do sth 使用某物去做某事（高频短语）。 （3）原文：We may depend on AI to write articles or solve math problems instead of thinking by ourselves.我们可能会依赖人工智能写作文、解数学题，而不再独立思考。 句子分析 1. 主干：We may depend on AI。主语 we；情态动词 may + 动词短语 depend on（依赖）作谓语；宾语 AI。 2. `to write articles or solve math problems`：不定式作目的状语，依赖 AI 用来做两件事：写文章、解数学题。 3. `instead of thinking by ourselves`：instead of “而不是”，of 是介词，后面动词要用动名词 doing 形式 译文 人工智能（AI）其实离我们一点都不远 —— 它已经悄悄走进了我们的日常生活。很多人在使用人工智能工具时，甚至都没有察觉到。例如，当我们想查询天气、学习烹饪方法，或是只想播放一首歌时，我们就在使用智能音箱。这些设备能够听懂我们的语音，并快速给出回应，让我们的生活更加便利。 人工智能在教育领域也大有帮助。一些学习软件利用人工智能为学生制定个性化学习方案。如果一名学生数学薄弱，这款软件就会准备更多数学练习题，并以适配该学生学习节奏的方式讲解难点。这有助于学生学得更好、更快。 此外，人工智能还能守护我们的居家安全。搭载人工智能的智能家居系统可以识别人脸，无需钥匙就能开门。如果有陌生人试图闯入，系统会向房主的手机发送警报。它能为我们的生活带来很高的安全保障。 但是人工智能也给我们的生活带来一些挑战。比如，过度使用人工智能会让我们变得懒惰。我们可能会依赖人工智能写作文、解数学题，而不再独立思考。这不利于我们学习和习惯的养成，也不利于培养我们的批判性思维。 总而言之，人工智能正在从很多方面积极地改变我们的生活。我们要学会正确使用它，并且应对它带来的各类挑战。让我们合理地享受人工智能带来的便利。 Passage B The Importance of Independent Navigation Systems Having an independent navigation system is very important for a country’s security and development. A nation that relies on another country’s navigation system may face risks if the system is ever disrupted or used against them. That is why China decided to develop its own Beidou Navigation Satellite System. One of the main reasons for developing an independent system is security. A military or country that uses GPS is dependent on the United States. If there is a conflict, the U.S. could potentially disable GPS in certain regions. By having Beidou, China can ensure its military and civil services have reliable navigation at all times. Another reason is economic development. A national navigation system supports many industries. Transportation, logistics, and agriculture all depend on accurate positioning. By having its own system, China can save money and avoid paying for foreign services. It also creates high-tech jobs for Chinese scientists and engineers. Finally, having an independent navigation system is a matter of national pride. It shows that a country has the technological capability to compete on a global level. Beidou is a symbol of China’s progress in science and technology. It inspires young people to pursue careers in engineering and innovation. 1．What is the main idea of the passage? A．GPS is the best navigation system. B．Independent navigation systems are important for security, economy, and pride. C．Beidou is only used by the military. D．China should not have its own navigation system. 2．Why is an independent navigation system important for security? A．It is cheaper. B．It prevents dependence on other countries. C．It is more accurate. D．It is easier to use. 3．How does Beidou support economic development? A．By providing free services. B．By supporting industries like transportation and agriculture. C．By creating new languages. D．By building new roads. 4．What does Beidou symbolize? A．China’s progress in science and technology. B．China’s food production. C．China’s population growth. D．China’s ancient history. 5．What does the author suggest at the end? A．Beidou is not important. B．Beidou inspires young people to pursue careers in engineering. C．Only scientists should use Beidou. D．Beidou should be replaced by GPS. 译文 自主导航系统的重要性 拥有一套自主导航系统，对于一个国家的安全与发展至关重要。如果一个国家依赖他国的导航系统，一旦该系统中断服务或是被用来针对本国，这个国家就会面临风险。这就是中国决定研发北斗卫星导航系统的原因。 研发自主导航系统的首要原因之一是国家安全。使用全球定位系统（GPS）的军队或国家，会受制于美国。一旦发生冲突，美国有可能在特定区域关闭 GPS 服务。有了北斗系统，中国能够保障本国军事和民用领域随时拥有可靠的导航服务。 另一个原因是经济发展。国家级导航系统能够支撑众多行业。交通、物流以及农业都需要依靠精准定位。拥有自研系统，中国可以节约资金，无需购买国外服务。同时它也为国内科学家和工程师创造高科技岗位。 最后，拥有自主导航系统关乎民族自豪感。它体现一个国家具备参与全球竞争的科技实力。北斗是中国科技进步的象征，激励年轻人投身工程技术与创新相关事业。 一、开篇引入（引出科技 / AI / 大国工程） 1.

The performance connects traditional kung fu with the modern AI-powered humanoid robots. Humanoid robots, which have a lot of important parts like sensors (传感器) and AI systems, are machines that look and act like human beings. Then why are they made like human beings? This is because most things around us, like doors and stairs, are made for our size and shape. If they look like us, they can use these things like we do. As a result, we don’t need to make big changes to these things. This can save a lot of money and time. Humanoid robots serve as new tools that work with and for humans in different fields. In the factories, humanoid robots carry car parts, pack goods and move boxes. They actually do the boring repeated human work. At home, they help clean floors, tidy rooms, make coffee and iron the clothes. In hospitals, they send medicine and help nurses lift patients. Schools buy humanoid robots for STEM classes. Shopping malls and restaurants use them to give performances to welcome guests. Most importantly, humanoid robots can work as policemen going on patrols (巡逻) in our neighborhood, and this provides us with a safe environment. Nowadays, with the fast development of science and technology, humanoid robots have been developing quickly from lab inventions to real-life helpers. More companies have started to produce them in large numbers. Because of mass production, the cost of humanoid robots has dropped a lot, so even small workshops can afford them. By 2050, there will be about 930 million humanoid robots doing simple jobs. Around 80 million humanoid robots will work in homes. China will probably have the world’s most humanoid robots. Some experts believe that they will become as common as household appliances (家用电器) in the future. 1．Why does the writer mention the fun performance WuBOT in Paragraph 1? A．To advertise a TV programme. B．To lead in the topic of the text. C．To introduce the Spring Festival Gala. D．To spread traditional Chinese kung fu. 2．What does the word “they” refer to in Paragraph 2? A．Sensors. B．Machines. C．AI systems. D．Humanoid robots. 3．What can we learn about humanoid robots in Paragraph 3? A．They can only do the repeated work. B．They have taken the place of humans. C．They are widely used in different fields. D．They have developed slowly at present. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The types of humanoid robots B．The shapes of humanoid robots C．The appearance of humanoid robots D．The introduction to humanoid robots Passage2 （2026·浙江杭州·中考真题） Motorcycle helmets are important. They protect riders from getting hurt. Last year, about 1872 riders in the US were saved because of helmet use. Effective helmets do more than protect people in accidents. They also help keep wind and small flying pieces off riders’ faces. Before the 1970s, motorcycle helmets were made of plastic, offering little protection. Today, they are made of carbon-fibre (碳纤维), much lighter and stronger than before. Now, they are safer and more comfortable. With the development of technology, modern helmets are smarter. Through Bluetooth connected speakers, riders can make telephone calls as they travel along the road. Cameras are also found in modern helmets. They can record what is happening ahead like the cameras in cars and they are easy to control through voice. The visors in certain helmets are able to change their colour. They become dark when the sun shines too brightly or when strong light from cars and trucks hit riders’ faces. In this way, riders can avoid strong light and see better. These days, AI is changing people’s way of life. For motorcycle riders, AI can now be placed inside helmets to achieve greater safety. One such example is the iC-R smart helmet. This helmet can show the objects around the motorcycle. The riders don’t need to turn their heads or take their eyes off the road ahead to get a better sense of the road situation. The helmet can also receive all the important information, such as speed, direction and traffic accidents. When a rider decides where to go, the helmet shows different ways to get there on the inside of the visor. It can even warn the rider when necessary, like when a motorcycle gets too close to a car. 1．Why does the writer mention the number “1872” in Paragraph 1? A．To show the fun of riding motorcycles. B．To explain the influence of strong wind. C．To tell the importance of wearing helmets. D．To point out the danger of fast motorcycling. 2．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Riders. B．Cameras. C．Speakers. D．Visors. 3．What is special about the iC-R smart helmet? A．It speeds up the motorcycle. B．It sends warnings to other riders. C．It offers riders traffic information. D．It clears the flying pieces on the road. 4．What’s the main idea of the text? A．Motorcycle riders are learning AI skills. B．Motorcycle helmets with AI are in great need. C．Motorcycling is becoming more and more popular. D．Motorcycle helmets are getting smarter and safer.

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is a field of computer science that focuses on creating machines that can think and learn like humans. AI has become one of the most important technologies of the 21st century. It is used in many areas of our daily lives, from smartphones to self-driving cars. AI systems can perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. These tasks include recognizing speech, understanding language, solving problems, and making decisions. For example, when you ask a virtual assistant like Siri a question, AI helps it understand and respond to you. When you use a navigation app, AI calculates the best route for you. There are two main types of AI: narrow AI and general AI. Narrow AI is designed to do one specific task. Most of the AI we use today is narrow AI. General AI, on the other hand, can perform any intellectual task that a human can do. General AI does not yet exist, but many scientists are working on it. The development of AI has brought many benefits, but it also raises concerns. Some people worry that AI will take away jobs from humans. Others are concerned about privacy and security. Despite these challenges, AI will continue to grow and change our world. 1．What is AI? A．A type of robot. B．A field of computer science. C．A programming language. D．A new smartphone. 2．What can AI do? A．It can only play games. B．It can do tasks that require human intelligence. C．It can replace humans completely. D．It can only understand speech. 3．What is narrow AI? A．AI that can do any task. B．AI that is designed for one specific task. C．AI that is very powerful. D．AI that can think like humans. 4．What is one concern about AI mentioned in the passage? A．AI is too expensive. B．AI will take away jobs from humans. C．AI is not useful. D．AI is not safe to use. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．AI is only used in smartphones. B．AI is a technology that can think and learn like humans. C．General AI already exists. D．AI will not change our lives. Passage 3 The Relationship Between Science, Engineering, and Technology Science, engineering, and technology are three very closely connected fields. However, they are not the same. Understanding the differences between them can help us better understand how they work together to improve our lives. Science is the study of the natural world. Scientists ask questions about how things work and try to find answers through experiments and observations. Science is about understanding the world as it is. Engineering, on the other hand, is about creating new things. Engineers use scientific knowledge to design and build solutions to problems. They create the world that has never been. Technology is the use of scientific knowledge to achieve engineering goals. It includes tools, machines, and systems that we use in our daily lives. For example, the smartphone is a technology that uses scientific knowledge in engineering. Technology helps us solve problems and make our lives more convenient. These three fields are closely connected. Scientific discoveries often lead to new technologies. Engineering turns those technologies into practical applications. Without science, engineering would not have the knowledge it needs. Without engineering, technology would not exist. They work together to make progress possible. 1．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Science is more important than engineering. B．Science, engineering, and technology are different but closely connected. C．Technology is the most important of the three. D．Engineering is the same as technology. 2．What does science study? A．The future world. B．The natural world. C．Technological tools. D．Engineering goals. 3．What does engineering do? A．It studies the world as it is. B．It creates new things. C．It uses technology. D．It asks questions. 4．What is technology? A．The study of the natural world. B．The use of scientific knowledge to achieve engineering goals. C．The creation of new things. D．The design of buildings. 5．What does the passage say about scientific discoveries? A．They are not important. B．They often lead to new technologies. C．They are the same as engineering. D．They only happen in the past.

As 5,000 colorful drones rose into the sky, he was 1 shocked and moved to tears. Many Chinese people watched and felt 2 of the beautiful sight, while Rizwan had different feelings. “In my country,” he said sadly, “people feel great fear when they hear drones. We have suffered 3 years of war (战争). Drones are used to attack, kill, and destroy. They bring us nothing but 4 .” “But here,” he continued, “drones 5 Chinese people with joy and convenience (便利). They bring art, transport medicine and food, fight fires, and more. They make 6 difference to people’s lives.” Rizwan took a deep breath, then said quietly, “Where I come from, people have to 7 the terrible conditions. 8 you’ve lived through such hard times, it’s hard to understand what I am feeling now. Peace feels like an impossible dream to us.” Before leaving, with a sincere smile, Rizwan added that he loved China and hoped people in his homeland would also live a peaceful life. Finally, he said in 9 Chinese, “Zhong Guo Li Hai!” This simple sentence carried 10 deepest wishes for both China and his country. Passage 5 完形填空 阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳答案。 The Lost-and-Found Camera Students at Heping School developed a camera system that matched lost objects with photos posted by their owners. At first, the result seemed 1 : the system found a blue bottle even when the owner’s photo showed only half of it. Problems appeared during a real test. The program often confused identical black umbrellas. It also gave a high match score to any red bag, although shape and size were 2 . More seriously, a test photo included a student’s face in the background. The team had built an object finder, but they had also created a system that could collect 3 information. The students changed both the technology and the rules. Faces and name tags were automatically covered before a photo was 4 . Images stayed on the school computer instead of being sent to an outside service. A match was shown as a 5 , not a final decision. Staff still checked where and when the object had been found. To improve 6 , the team added side views and size markers. Yet they refused to train the program on secretly collected photos. Fewer images meant slower improvement, but consent was treated as part of the design rather than a delay. The revised system recovered 63 percent of test objects. That number was lower than the first exciting claim, which had counted several wrong matches. The team presented both the 7 and the failures at the science fair. Their project did not win the “Most Powerful Technology” prize. It received an award for responsible problem-solving. The students learned that a better tool is not simply one that can do more. It is one 8 purpose is clear, 9 limits are reported and whose users keep a meaningful 10 in the final decision. 1．A．private B．ordinary C．impressive 2．A．different B．equal C．safe 3．A．natural B．personal C．public 4．A．stored B．drawn C．returned 5．A．promise B．record C．suggestion 6．A．ability B．accuracy C．activity 7．A．prices B．names C．successes 8．A．whose B．which C．what 9．A．its B．whose C．their 10．A．voice B．picture C．secret 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 2 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
