I ________ missed my flight yesterday. I got to the airport just on time. A. hardly B. finally C. nearly 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我昨天差点错过航班。我准时到达了机场。 考查副词辨析。hardly几乎不；finally最后；nearly几乎，差不多。根据“I ... missed my flight yesterday. I got to the airport just on time.”可知，是准时到达了机场，所以“差点错过航班” 符合语境。故选C。 3. —Tom, are your parents strict with you at home? —Yeah. They often ________ me by not letting me watch TV if I do something wrong. A. punish B. require C. avoid 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——汤姆，你父母在家里对你严格吗？ ——是的。如果我做错事，他们经常通过不让我看电视来惩罚我。 考查动词辨析。punish惩罚；require要求；avoid避免。根据“not letting me watch TV”可知，不让我看电视是一种惩罚。故选A。 4.

A. turn down B. cut down C. put down 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：该方法不仅大大降低了化学品的使用成本，而且对环境友好。 考查动词短语。turn down拒绝；cut down削减；put down放下。根据“....the cost of chemical use”可知，是降低了化学品的使用成本。故选B。 6. — Are you a basketball player in your school? — Yes.

A. both B. either C. neither 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——妈妈，有两个苹果。它们是给我的吗？——是的。你可以吃其中一个。把另一个留给你弟弟。 考查代词辨析。both两者都；either两者中任意一个；neither两者都不。根据下文“Leave the other one for your little brother.（把另一个留给你弟弟。）”可知，此处指两个苹果中可以吃其中一个，应该用either。故选B。 14. —Have you seen my dictionary ________? —Yes, I saw it ________ in the room just now.

Yes, I saw it...in the room just now.”可知应是问答在某一个地方，而不是处处。而第一个句子为疑问句，所以第一空应用anywhere；第二个句子为肯定句，所以第二空应用somewhere。故选B。 15. —Zhu Hui, can you tell me ________? —We make Zongzi and watch boat races.

They carry more ____16____ than the words themselves. In Chinese culture, we also have lots of similar useful expressions like “drinking ink (墨水)” and “An inch (寸) of time is worth an inch of gold”. “Drinking ink” is a common expression to show that a person is ____17____. Is there anyone who really drinks ink? It could be true in Chinese history. During the Northern Qi Dynasty, those who ____18____ very badly in the exam would be punished by drinking one liter (升) of ink. Even if they were found to have poor handwriting or make up something terrible, they would be taken into a special room to drink ink. The rule was accepted by the following dynasties. Nowadays, this expression is ____19____ used to describe people’s ways of receiving education or their level of education. For example, “drinking foreign ink” means one has studied overseas “Drinking little ink” means a ____20____ level of education. Sundial “An inch of time is worth an inch of gold” means that an inch of time has the same ____21____ as an inch of gold. It is also the first half of a saying, “An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, but an inch of time cannot be bought ____22____ an inch of gold”. In ancient times, time was measured (测量) by inches because people used the sundial as a time-keeping tool. It is made of a flat and ____23____ plate on which time degrees are shown.

A 25. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍中英文里蕴含文化内涵的俗语，重点讲解中文“喝墨水”和“一寸光阴一寸金”两个表达的来源与含义，还介绍古代计时工具日晷，最后点明语言与文化密不可分，学习语言有助于我们更好地理解各国背后的文化。 【16题详解】 句意：它们承载着比文字本身更多的含义。 前文提到“useful sentences”（有用的句子），后文提到中国文化中也有类似的表达，说明这些句子有深层的含义，meanings“含义”符合语境。suggestions“建议”和chances“机会”均不能与“carry”（承载）搭配表示句子的深层内涵。 【17题详解】 句意：“喝墨水”是一个常用表达，用来表明一个人是受过教育的。 后文“used to describe people’s ways of receiving education or their level of education”可知，这个表达用来描述人的受教育情况，educated“受过教育的”符合语境。expected“预期的”和remembered“被记住的”，均与“教育”这一主题无关。 【18题详解】 句意：在北齐时期，那些在考试中表现很差的人会被罚喝一升墨水。 后文“would be punished”说明，考试表现差的人才会受到惩罚，performed“表现”符合语境。planned“计划”和prepared“准备”均不符合。 【19题详解】 句意：如今，这个表达被广泛用来描述人们接受教育的方式或是受教育水平。 根据上下文语境，“喝墨水”这个表达现在被广泛使用来描述受教育程度，widely“广泛地”符合语境。quietly“安静地”和quickly“快速地”，均不能修饰“used”表示使用范围广。 【20题详解】 句意：“喝的墨水少”指低的教育水平。 前文“drinking foreign ink”指海外留学、受教育多，二者形成对比，喝墨水少代表教育水平低，low“低的”符合语境。basic“基础的”和normal“正常的”，均不能与“少”对应表示程度低。 【21题详解】 句意：“一寸光阴一寸金”意思是一寸时间和一寸黄金拥有相同的价值。 根据谚语含义，时间和黄金有同等的价值，value“价值”符合语境。size“尺寸”和standard“标准”，均不能表示时间与金子的等价关系。 【22题详解】 句意：一寸光阴一寸金，寸金难买寸光阴，但是一寸时间不能用一寸黄金来购买。 固定搭配buy sth. with sth.意为“用某物购买某物”，可知此处表示用黄金买时间。for“为了”和in“在……里”均不能与“buy”搭配表示用某物交换。 【23题详解】 句意：它由一块扁平且圆形的盘子制成，上面标有时间刻度。 根据常识和日晷的图片，日晷的盘面是圆形的，round“圆形的”符合语境。deep“深的”和square“方形的”，均不符合日晷底盘的标准形状描述。 【24题详解】 句意：这就是日晷如何计时的原理。 前文描述了日晷随着太阳移动，影子长短发生变化的过程，这是在解释日晷报时的方式/原理，how“怎样，如何”符合语境。when“何时”和why“为什么”，均不能引导表示方式的宾语从句。 【25题详解】 句意：语言学习可以帮助我们更好地理解各国背后的文化，和来自不同国家的人们更多地交流。 学习语言的目的就是为了更好地理解和交流，better“更好”符合语境。harder“更努力”和worse“更糟”，均不符合学习语言带来的积极影响。 Ⅲ．阅读理解（共45分） 第一节 阅读以下A、B、C、D四篇短文，根据短文内容，从题中所给A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） （A） Jenna is an exchange student (交换生) from New Zealand.

At times, people want to look a bit more like someone else. The photos you see on the screen can give you ideas about how your bodies “should” look. The truth is that you are all different in your own way. Accepting who you are can help you feel happier and more positive about yourself. Self-acceptance means appreciating what you’re good at, like sports, science or music. It also means valuing the parts of you that don’t shine as brightly, like being forgetful or untidy. It’s a habit about being kind to yourself even when you make a mistake. In other words, just accept who you are no matter what other people say or think. When you accept who you are, you worry less about things you can’t change. This makes you feel happier and more confident. Everyone can feel as if they have to appear perfect. That leads us to forget about the little things that make us special, because we’re so busy trying to meet someone else’s standards. Self-acceptance can also help you discover what you’re really good at. Start by making a list of all the things you like about yourself. Maybe you’re good at cooking, or people find it easy to talk to you. Ask your friends for help. Also, try saying kind, positive things to yourself in a mirror every morning. Think up ways to treat yourself, like taking a long bath or watching your favorite film, and spend some quality time on your own. It’s also important to look after yourself by eating healthy food and getting plenty of sleep. 31. According to Paragraph 1, we should try to ________. A. change our looks B. learn from others C. shorten screen time D. accept ourselves 32. What does the underlined word “appreciating” mean? A. Wondering. B. Admiring. C. Practicing. D. Forgetting. 33.

Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4. 35. What can we learn from the text? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Where there is love, there is life. C. You are imperfect, but you are beautiful. D. Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today. 【答案】31. D 32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了身体自信的积极影响，并引导读者建立身体信心。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Accepting who you are can help you feel happier and more positive about yourself.”可知，接受自己可以帮助您感到更快乐，对自己更加积极。故选D。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“ It also means valuing the parts of you that don’t shine as brightly”可知，appreciating与valuing意思相近，结合选项，B选项“欣赏”与“重视”意义相近，故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When you accept who you are, you worry less about things you can’t change. This makes you feel happier and more confident. ”可知身体自信能让人更开心和自信。故选A。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Start by making a list of all the things you like about yourself.”及“Also, try ... sleep.”可知，第四段整段都在讲如何建立身体自信。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Self-acceptance means appreciating what you’re good at, like sports, science or music. It also means valuing the parts of you that don’t shine as brightly, like being forgetful or untidy.”可知，身体自信就是欣赏你擅长的东西，比如体育、科学或音乐，这也意味着要重视你那些不那么闪耀的部分，比如健忘或不整洁。C选项“你不完美，但你很美。”符合，故选C。 （C） Do you know mint (薄荷)? It may be added to drinks to let us cool in summer. Mint plays an important role in our daily life. It keeps our breath fresh and makes food and drinks smell fresh. But why is this little plant so popular with people? Mint is found almost everywhere in the world, except for South America and Antarctica. There are 600 varieties of mint, but a lot of them look so similar that even scientists have trouble telling the differences between them. What we have known for thousands of years, however, is that eating mint has many benefits for our physical health. For starters, if people’s stomachs are not very comfortable, mint can be used to relieve (缓解) the uncomfortable feeling in their stomachs. That’s because of the acid (酸) that it has. It can also help release allergies (过敏) or even shock (休克). Thanks to this plant, doctors have saved many people from danger. What’s more, if you have a common cold, drinking mint tea can reduce your sore throat. While mint is safe to eat and useful for treating people, it also has some disadvantages. First of all, eating too much mint can be harmful. If you’re taking it for any health purpose, don’t use it too much. Also, mint oil should not be used on the face of children. This could cause breathing problems. 36. The writer starts the passage by ________. A. listing numbers B. asking a question C. giving an example D. comparing two plants 37.

According to AI Magazine, construction is responsible for using 38% of world energy. The building part alone takes up almost 55% of final energy use and 33% of greenhouse gases. It’s also well known that steel produces too much material waste in building construction. Because of this big challenge, the future of sustainable (可持续的) construction may lie with AI. AI is able to study building efficiency (效率) performance by grouping data to find the best chances for sustainable material usage. With a tool like AI, the future of sustainable construction could progress much faster than in the past. Besides, AI helps architects (建筑师) work with new tools and sustainable materials to create our better buildings and cities of the future. For example, construction 3D printing guided by AI can offer better choices for building materials to save money, and map out how construction materials could be recycled. In a professional article, AI is praised as a tool for sustainable construction, “In recent years, AI has become a promising tool for construction. AI can examine a large number of data sets on weather conditions and help to make full use of building systems for energy efficiency, water protection and other goals.” AI can be used to speed up the future of sustainable construction to set standards for the industry, and make construction more efficient and affordable. Like any other computer, AI is a tool that is particularly good at studying data sets, but for the moment it still requires smart and ethical (有道德的) human beings to lead its work. All of that has to be done with respect for humans, so it’s really up to us to make it work. 41. How is paragraph 1 developed? A. By listing numbers. B. By telling stories. C. By expressing feelings. D. By making comparisons. 42. How can AI help architects? A. Produce sustainable steel. B. Draw maps of dream cities. C. Invent recyclable 3D printers. D. Choose sustainable materials. 43. Which best explains the underlined word “promising” in paragraph 3? A. Facing challenges. B. Needing improving. C. Taking years to grow. D. Having a bright future. 44. What does the writer suggest in the last paragraph? A. It’s difficult to develop AI. B. Humans’ future depends on AI. C. It’s humans’ duty to guide AI. D. Humans and AI should work together. 45. What is the text mainly about? A. AI recycles construction wastes. B. AI may take the place of architects. C. AI helps sustainable construction. D. AI speeds sustainable development. 【答案】41. A 42. D 43. D 44. C 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍人工智能在建筑业的应用。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“According to AI Magazine, construction is responsible for using 38% of world energy. The building part alone takes up almost 55% of final energy use and 33% of greenhouse gases.”可知，第一段通过具体数据（如38%、55%、33%）说明建筑业在能源消耗和污染方面的严重性，故选A。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“AI is able to study building efficiency (效率) performance by grouping data to find the best chances for sustainable material usage.”可知，人工智能能够通过对数据进行分类分析来研究建筑的能效表现，从而找到最有利于可持续材料使用的最佳方案。故选D。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“In recent years, AI has become a promising tool for construction. AI can examine a large number of data sets on weather conditions and help to make full use of building systems for energy efficiency, water protection and other goals.”可知，人工智能能够分析大量有关天气状况的数据，并有助于充分利用建筑系统以实现节能、节水等目标。所以是极具前景，故选D。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Like any other computer, AI is a tool that is particularly good at studying data sets, but for the moment it still requires smart and ethical (有道德的) human beings to lead its work. All of that has to be done with respect for humans, so it’s really up to us to make it work.”可知，就像其他任何计算机一样，人工智能也是一种特别擅长处理数据集的工具，但目前它仍需要聪明且有道德意识的人类来引领其工作。所有这些工作都必须以尊重人类为前提，所以实际上要让其发挥作用，还得靠我们自己。由此可知，作者认为引导人工智能是人类的职责所在。故选C。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍人工智能在建筑业的应用，选项C“人工智能助力可持续建筑”符合主题，故选C。 （E） 阅读短文，把A—E五个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容完整。 China covers a large area and has a big population. ____46____ Now, one living habit is being talked about a lot: the way that northerners and southerners shop at food market. ____47____ It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage two potatoes and 250 grams of beef at a time. However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. ____48____ Also you can buy a very small amount of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. ____49____ But shop owners in the north rarely offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes. The difference could be due to the different climates. Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. ____50____ But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese people buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad. A. Shop owners even help you peel (削皮) and cut the fruit. B. Instead, buying enough vegetables and meat for a week in the north is normal. C. People from southern China say they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. D. Many northern Chinese have the habit of stocking up (囤货) on food, especially for the long winter. E. So, the different living habits of people around the country has always been an interesting topic. 【答案】46. E 47. C 48. B 49. A 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国南北方人们不同的购物习惯，这种不同的生活习惯可能是因为中国南北气候的差异。 【46题详解】 根据下文“Now, one living habit is being talked about a lot: the way that northerners and southerners shop at food market.”可知，北方人和南方人的购物方式不同，此处应介绍不同地区的人有不同的生活习惯。E选项“所以，全国各地人们不同的生活习惯一直是一个有趣的话题。”符合语境。故选E。 【47题详解】 根据下文“It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage two potatoes and 250 grams of beef at a time.”可知，此处应介绍南方人每次买的食物。C选项“来自中国南方的人说，他们总是买一两顿饭所需的东西。”符合语境。故选C。 【48题详解】 根据上文“However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north.”可知，此处应介绍北方人买的食物。B选项“相反，在北方购买足够一周的蔬菜和肉类是很常见的。”符合语境。故选B。 【49题详解】 根据上文“Also you can buy a very small amount of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south.”可知，此处应介绍在南方买水果的事。A选项“店主甚至会帮你削水果皮和切水果。”符合语境。故选A。 【50题详解】 根据上文“Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there.”可知，食物在北方可以保存很长时间，因为那里通常又冷又干燥；此处应介绍北方人在冬天有储存食物的习惯。D选项“许多中国北方人有储备食物的习惯，尤其是为了漫长的冬天。”符合语境。故选D。 Ⅴ．根据情景提示，用得体得英语完成下列各题。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 51. — How ______ the Haixia Cinema? — You’d better take the subway. 【答案】 can I get to 【解析】 【详解】根据答语“You’d better take the subway.”可知，此句是询问怎样能到达海霞电影院。本句为含情态动词can的特殊疑问句。“到达”对应表达为get to；询问“我怎样才能到达”常用句型How can I get to...。故can I get to符合语境。 52. —I am flying to Disneyland this weekend. —Have ______. 【答案】 a good trip 【解析】 【详解】句意：——这个周末我要坐飞机去迪士尼乐园。——祝你旅途愉快。前一句说明对方即将开启旅行，Have a good trip是英语里用于祝愿他人旅途顺利愉快的固定交际用语，故填a good trip。 53. — Excuse me, could you give me a ride to the airport? — ______. 【答案】 Sure/Of course 【解析】 【详解】句意：—— 打扰一下，能载我去机场吗？结合语句“Excuse me, could you give me a ride to the airport?”可知，前文是委婉请求搭车，此处可以用肯定回答Sure，匹配请求类对话的应答逻辑，也可以选用Of course等合适答句。 54. — ______ the Summer Palace? — Yes, I have been there twice. 【答案】 Have you ever been to/Have you been to 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你去过颐和园吗？——是的，我去过那里两次。答语“Yes, I have been there twice.”表明，问句是使用现在完成时的一般疑问句，空格处表示“你是否（曾）去过……”，但目前已返回，用固定短语have (ever) been to表示，句型为“Have you (ever) been to ...?”，ever“曾经”是副词，修饰been，可省略。 55. — I’m afraid of the midterm exam. — No ______. 【答案】worry 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我害怕期中考试。——别担心。根据“I’m afraid of the midterm exam.”可知，说话人表达了对考试的恐惧和焦虑，答语应是安慰对方“别担心”。“No worry.”是口语中常用的安慰用语，相当于“Don’t worry.”，此处应用worry。故填worry。 Ⅵ．看图写话：（共5题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据每题所提供的图片和提示词，写一个符合图意的句子。 56. used to, now _______________________________________________________ 57. make, cotton _______________________________________________________ 58. invent, 1946 _______________________________________________________ 59.

The scarf is made of cotton. 58. The computer was invented in 1946. 59. China is famous for tea. 60. How delicious the dumplings are!/What delicious dumplings they are! 【解析】 【56题详解】 根据图片对比身高变化以及提示词“used to, now”，used to表示（过去常常/曾经），后接动词原形，描述过去的状态；now描述现在情况。used to be short表示过去个子矮，but表转折。故填He used to be short, but now he is tall. 【57题详解】 根据图片围巾以及提示词“make, cotton”，考查固定短语be made of（由……制成，能看出原材料）。主语the scarf是单数，be动词用is。故填The scarf is made of cotton. 【58题详解】 根据图片老式电脑以及提示“invent, 1946”，主语the computer和invent是被动关系，时间1946为过去时间，使用一般过去时的被动语态was invented；年份前用介词in。故填The computer was invented in 1946. 【59题详解】 根据图片茶壶茶杯以及提示词“China, famous”，考查固定短语be famous for（因……闻名），主语China为单数，be动词用is。故填China is famous for tea. 【60题详解】 根据图片饺子以及提示词“delicious (!)”，本句要写感叹句。How引导感叹句结构：How+形容词+主语+谓语；What引导感叹句结构：What+形容词+可数名词复数+主语+谓语。故填How delicious the dumplings are!/What delicious dumplings they are! Ⅶ．短文填词（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据语境、音标或所给单词的提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的词，要求所填的词意义准确，形式正确，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。 China has a history of using incense (熏香). Chinese people love incense and know how to make it.

They carry more ____16____ than the words themselves. In Chinese culture, we also have lots of similar useful expressions like “drinking ink (墨水)” and “An inch (寸) of time is worth an inch of gold”. “Drinking ink” is a common expression to show that a person is ____17____. Is there anyone who really drinks ink? It could be true in Chinese history. During the Northern Qi Dynasty, those who ____18____ very badly in the exam would be punished by drinking one liter (升) of ink. Even if they were found to have poor handwriting or make up something terrible, they would be taken into a special room to drink ink. The rule was accepted by the following dynasties. Nowadays, this expression is ____19____ used to describe people’s ways of receiving education or their level of education. For example, “drinking foreign ink” means one has studied overseas “Drinking little ink” means a ____20____ level of education. Sundial “An inch of time is worth an inch of gold” means that an inch of time has the same ____21____ as an inch of gold. It is also the first half of a saying, “An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, but an inch of time cannot be bought ____22____ an inch of gold”. In ancient times, time was measured (测量) by inches because people used the sundial as a time-keeping tool. It is made of a flat and ____23____ plate on which time degrees are shown.

She is looking for a roommate (室友) to share the apartment she rented. Take a look if you are interested in it. 参考词汇：deposit押金；cable TV有线电视 26.

Life. （B） “I wish I had straight hair”. “I’d love curly hair”. “I wish I was taller”. At times, people want to look a bit more like someone else. The photos you see on the screen can give you ideas about how your bodies “should” look. The truth is that you are all different in your own way. Accepting who you are can help you feel happier and more positive about yourself. Self-acceptance means appreciating what you’re good at, like sports, science or music. It also means valuing the parts of you that don’t shine as brightly, like being forgetful or untidy. It’s a habit about being kind to yourself even when you make a mistake. In other words, just accept who you are no matter what other people say or think. When you accept who you are, you worry less about things you can’t change. This makes you feel happier and more confident. Everyone can feel as if they have to appear perfect. That leads us to forget about the little things that make us special, because we’re so busy trying to meet someone else’s standards. Self-acceptance can also help you discover what you’re really good at. Start by making a list of all the things you like about yourself. Maybe you’re good at cooking, or people find it easy to talk to you. Ask your friends for help. Also, try saying kind, positive things to yourself in a mirror every morning. Think up ways to treat yourself, like taking a long bath or watching your favorite film, and spend some quality time on your own. It’s also important to look after yourself by eating healthy food and getting plenty of sleep. 31. According to Paragraph 1, we should try to ________. A. change our looks B. learn from others C. shorten screen time D. accept ourselves 32. What does the underlined word “appreciating” mean? A. Wondering. B. Admiring. C. Practicing. D. Forgetting. 33. Self-acceptance can make us ________. A. become confident B. appear perfect C. meet others’ standards D. overcome our weaknesses 34. Which paragraph mainly talks about the ways of self-acceptance? A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4. 35. What can we learn from the text? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Where there is love, there is life. C. You are imperfect, but you are beautiful. D. Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today. （C） Do you know mint (薄荷)? It may be added to drinks to let us cool in summer. Mint plays an important role in our daily life. It keeps our breath fresh and makes food and drinks smell fresh. But why is this little plant so popular with people? Mint is found almost everywhere in the world, except for South America and Antarctica. There are 600 varieties of mint, but a lot of them look so similar that even scientists have trouble telling the differences between them. What we have known for thousands of years, however, is that eating mint has many benefits for our physical health. For starters, if people’s stomachs are not very comfortable, mint can be used to relieve (缓解) the uncomfortable feeling in their stomachs. That’s because of the acid (酸) that it has. It can also help release allergies (过敏) or even shock (休克). Thanks to this plant, doctors have saved many people from danger. What’s more, if you have a common cold, drinking mint tea can reduce your sore throat. While mint is safe to eat and useful for treating people, it also has some disadvantages. First of all, eating too much mint can be harmful. If you’re taking it for any health purpose, don’t use it too much. Also, mint oil should not be used on the face of children. This could cause breathing problems. 36. The writer starts the passage by ________. A. listing numbers B. asking a question C. giving an example D. comparing two plants 37. Scientists have trouble telling the different kinds of mint because of the ________. A. same smell B. long history C. similar looks D. strange climate 38. Mint can relieve the uncomfortable feeling in people’s stomachs because ________. A. it helps us breathe better B. it is easy to find C. it has much sugar D. it has a kind of acid 39. According to the passage, ________ when we use mint. A. we should use it properly. B. we should use it anytime. C. we should use it after shock. D. we should only use it for adults. 40. What is the text mainly about? A. The advantages and disadvantages of mint. B. The ways to plant different kinds of mint. C. The importance of protecting mint. D. The place to find mint in the world. （D） Construction (建筑) is one of the biggest users of energy and one of the biggest polluters. According to AI Magazine, construction is responsible for using 38% of world energy. The building part alone takes up almost 55% of final energy use and 33% of greenhouse gases. It’s also well known that steel produces too much material waste in building construction. Because of this big challenge, the future of sustainable (可持续的) construction may lie with AI. AI is able to study building efficiency (效率) performance by grouping data to find the best chances for sustainable material usage. With a tool like AI, the future of sustainable construction could progress much faster than in the past. Besides, AI helps architects (建筑师) work with new tools and sustainable materials to create our better buildings and cities of the future. For example, construction 3D printing guided by AI can offer better choices for building materials to save money, and map out how construction materials could be recycled. In a professional article, AI is praised as a tool for sustainable construction, “In recent years, AI has become a promising tool for construction.
