From lights that respond to a voice command to fridges that order groceries on their own, technology is quietly reshaping the rhythm of daily life. Supporters insist that we are entering a “smart” age in which ordinary tasks will be handled for us, leaving us more time for what we truly value. The benefits are hard to deny. A connected home can learn your routine and prepare the environment before you arrive, adjusting the temperature, drawing the curtains and even starting the coffee machine. It can also protect you by detecting smoke or a leaking pipe and warning you at once. For the elderly living alone, such systems can act as a lifeline, reminding them to take their medicine or summoning help after a fall. Yet convenience, as always, comes at a price. Every smart device quietly collects information about its users: when they get up, what they eat, and how long they linger in each room. Once such data falls into the wrong hands, users may become vulnerable to theft, cheating or constant surveillance. What troubles experts even more is that the devices themselves can be turned against their owners: a hacker who breaks into a home network could, in theory, unlock the doors or switch off the alarm. There is a subtler risk, too. The more we let machines make decisions for us, the more we tend to lose. Research suggests that people who rely heavily on navigation apps slowly lose their sense of direction, and that those who depend on autocorrect begin to forget how to spell. Convenience, in other words, may quietly weaken the very skills that make us capable and independent. None of this means we should turn our backs on technology. The sensible approach is to enjoy its benefits while staying alert to its risks—choosing reliable products, guarding our personal data and never allowing machines to make every decision for us. 1. According to Paragraph 2, how can a smart home help elderly people living alone? A. By reminding them to take medicine or calling for help. B. By cooking all their meals. C. By driving them to hospital. D. By ordering food for them online. 2. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. Smart devices never break down. B. Users’ personal data is always well protected. C. Smart devices may put users’ safety at risk. D. Experts believe smart homes are useless. 3. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Well protected. B. Easily harmed. C. Highly skilled. D. Completely safe. 4. What is the author’s attitude towards smart technology? A. Totally opposed. B. Blindly optimistic. C. Completely uninterested. D. Supportive but cautious. B Every time a new technology arrives, it seems to stir the same old anxiety: will it take our jobs away? When machines first began to do farm work, farmers feared for their future; when computers spread through offices, clerks wondered whether they would soon be replaced. Today, with artificial intelligence (AI) drafting reports, diagnosing diseases and even driving cars, the question feels more urgent than ever. Some experts warn that millions of jobs could vanish. Work that depends on repeating the same task again and again—checking products in a factory, answering routine phone calls or sorting documents—is the most likely to be automated, because machines can do it faster, more cheaply and without ever growing tired. Workers in such fields may find themselves displaced within a few short years. Others, however, are far more hopeful. They point out that technology has always created new kinds of work even as it swept old ones away. A century ago, nobody had heard of a “web designer” or a “data scientist”; today they are among the most sought-after professionals. As AI takes over routine tasks, the argument goes, it may free people to devote themselves to work that demands creativity, empathy and complex judgement—qualities that, for now at least, no machine can truly copy. The truth, as so often, probably lies somewhere in between. History suggests that new technology rarely wipes out jobs on a grand scale overnight; rather, it slowly changes what work looks like and who ends up doing it. What finally happens will depend far less on the machines themselves than on the choices we make today: how we educate the young, how we retrain those who lose their jobs, and how fairly we share the gains of progress. Those choices—not the technology—will decide whether the future of work becomes a threat or an opportunity. 5. According to Paragraph 2, which jobs are most likely to be automated? A. Those requiring creativity. B. Those involving complex decisions. C. Those repeating the same task. D. Those needing empathy. 6. Why are some experts hopeful about AI? A. AI will do all the work for humans. B. AI may create new jobs and free people for creative work. C. AI will never change the job market. D. AI can replace creative workers as well. 7. What does the underlined word “displaced” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Promoted. B. Trained. C. Replaced. D. Rewarded. 8. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To prove that AI will destroy all jobs. B. To discuss how AI may affect future work. C. To encourage people to stop using AI. D. To explain how to build a robot. 二、七选五（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Get Ready for the Future The world is changing faster than ever before. Jobs that seem secure today may disappear tomorrow, while entirely new ones—ones we cannot even imagine now—will appear in their place. Faced with such uncertainty, many young people feel anxious about what lies ahead. The good news is that, although no one can predict the future exactly, we can all take steps to prepare for it. ______1______ First, never stop learning. ______2______ The knowledge and skills you have now may not be enough in ten years. Read widely, take online courses, and stay curious about subjects far beyond your own field. The willingness to keep learning is, in the end, far more valuable than any single qualification you may earn today. Second, build skills that machines cannot easily copy. As routine tasks are increasingly taken over by AI, creativity, communication and the ability to cooperate with others are becoming more valuable than ever. ______3______ However clever machines become, they still struggle to understand a joke, comfort a friend or lead a team. Third, learn to use new technology instead of fearing it. ______4______ The more familiar you are with new tools, the easier it will be to adapt when the world around you changes. Those who understand technology will be the ones who shape it, rather than the ones it replaces. Finally, stay flexible. ______5______ Careers that once seemed fixed now bend and shift with every new invention. Those who can adjust to change are far more likely to succeed, while those who stubbornly resist it may be left behind. After all, the future belongs to those who are ready to meet it. 选项： A. Here are some ways to prepare yourself for the changes ahead. B. Knowledge is being updated all the time. C. These human qualities will matter more than ever. D. Technology is a tool that can help you, not an enemy to run from. E. The ability to change with the times is a great advantage. F. Only people who are good at maths will succeed in the future. G. There is no need to prepare at all, because the future will take care of itself. 三、完形填空（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My grandfather has always been a stubborn man.

Some students are for the idea, because they think there are many advantages in using AI tools. For one thing, they can answer questions instantly and help us understand difficult points. For another, AI tools can offer personalized learning plans, making our study more efficient. However, just as a popular saying goes, "Every coin has two sides." There are a number of students who hold a different view on this case. They think there are many disadvantages in depending too much on AI. First, it may weaken our ability to think independently. What's more, some answers given by AI are incorrect, which may mislead us. In my view, the most important is that we should learn how to make full use of its advantages and avoid its disadvantages. 请在下列横线上认真抄写范文（注意衡水体的书写规范）： 参考答案 阅读理解： Passage A：1—4 A C B D Passage B：5—8 C B C B 七选五： 1—5 A B C D E 完形填空： 1—5 C B B A C 6—10 B D A B C 11—15 A A A B C 单句语法填空： 1. will be living　2. secure　3. before　4. will be flying　5. hadn’t broken 6. Equipped　7. innovative　8. of　9. prediction　10. It 书面表达： 参考范文见“答案解析”部分（与练字范文一致）。 答案解析 一、阅读理解 Passage A 1. A　细节理解题。根据第二段 “For the elderly living alone, such systems can act as a lifeline, reminding them to take their medicine or summoning help after a fall.” 可知，智能家居能提醒独居老人服药、在摔倒后求助。 2. C　推理判断题。根据第三段 “a hacker who breaks into a home network could, in theory, unlock the doors or switch off the alarm.” 可推断，智能设备可能给使用者安全带来风险。 3. B　词义猜测题。根据第三段 “Once such data falls into the wrong hands, users may become vulnerable to theft, cheating or constant surveillance.” 可知，数据落入他人之手后，用户易受伤害，故 vulnerable 意为“易受伤害的”。 4. D　观点态度题。根据最后一段 “The sensible approach is to enjoy its benefits while staying alert to its risks...” 可知，作者对智能科技既支持又保持警惕。 Passage B 5. C　细节理解题。根据第二段 “Work that depends on repeating the same task again and again... is the most likely to be automated.” 可知，重复同一任务的工作最易被自动化取代。 6. B　推理判断题。根据第三段 “it may free people to devote themselves to work that demands creativity, empathy and complex judgement” 可知，乐观者认为 AI 会创造新工作、让人们专注创造性工作。 7. C　词义猜测题。根据第二段 “Workers in such fields may find themselves displaced within a few short years.” 结合上文“工作被自动化取代”可推断，displaced 意为“被取代的”。 8. B　写作意图题。全文分别呈现“担忧”与“乐观”两种观点，最后指出结果取决于我们的选择，作者的目的是探讨 AI 对未来工作的影响。 二、七选五 1. A　空前说“面对这样的不确定性，许多年轻人对未来感到焦虑”，空后逐条给出建议，A 项 “Here are some ways to prepare yourself for the changes ahead.” 承上启下。 2. B　空前是 “never stop learning（不要停止学习）”，B 项 “Knowledge is being updated all the time.” 解释原因，与后文 “The knowledge and skills you have now may not be enough in ten years.” 衔接。 3. C　本段讲“培养机器无法轻易复制的技能”，C 项 “These human qualities will matter more than ever.” 中的 human qualities 指代前文的 creativity、communication 等。 4. D　本段讲“学会使用新技术而非害怕它”，D 项 “Technology is a tool that can help you, not an enemy to run from.” 与之衔接，后文 “Those who understand technology will be the ones who shape it” 也可印证。 5. E　本段主题是“保持灵活”，E 项 “The ability to change with the times is a great advantage.” 与后文 “Those who can adjust to change are far more likely to succeed” 呼应。 干扰项说明：F 项“只有擅长数学的人才能在未来成功”说法过于绝对，与全文主旨不符；G 项“无需准备，未来自会安排好一切”与全文鼓励积极准备的主旨相反。 三、完形填空 1. C　爷爷“干脆/就是（simply）”拒绝使用，simply 表示“简直、就是”，符合“固执”的形象。 2. B　由下文“冲智能音箱大喊却听不懂”等可知，起初“情况不妙（things went wrong）”。 3. B　当地口音用 local accent，accent 指“口音”。 4. A　忘记给手机充电，设备常常“没电、不工作（dead）”。 5. C　爷爷做饭时突然感到“不适（unwell）”，随后摔倒在地。 6. B　音箱听到了他摔倒的“声音（sound）”，sound 泛指声音，符合语境。 7. D　救护车马上赶到，爷爷被“立即（immediately）”送往医院。 8. A　“多亏了快速的反应（response）”，response 指（系统/人的）响应、反应。 9. B　他不再“害怕（feared）”这些设备，态度发生转变。 10. C　他请我“训练/调教（retrain）”音箱，让它更好地听懂他的口音。 11. A　“我以前觉得这些机器没用（useless）”，与后文态度转变形成对比。 12. A　“现在我知道它们能在最需要时成为救星（lifesaver）”，与救命的经历呼应。 13. A　爷爷的故事给我上了重要的“一课（lesson）”。 14. B　新技术不是用来害怕，而是我们要学会“拥抱/接纳（embrace）”的东西。 15. C　它也许有朝一日会真正“改变（make a difference to）”我们的生活。 四、单句语法填空 1. will be living　考查将来进行时。in the not-too-distant future 表示不远的将来，强调将来某一时段正在进行的动作，用 will be doing。（课文原句） 2. secure　考查词性转换。keep + 宾语 + 形容词作宾补，security（名词）→ secure（形容词，安全的）。（课文原句） 3. before　考查固定句型。It will take + 时间 + before... 意为“要过……才……”，此处填 before。（课文原句） 4. will be flying　考查将来进行时。this time next week 表示“下周此时”，指将来某一时刻正在进行的动作，用 will be flying。 5. hadn’t broken　考查虚拟语气。与过去事实相反的假设，if 从句用 had done，主句用 would have done，故填 hadn’t broken。 6. Equipped　考查非谓语动词。the house 与 equip 之间为被动关系，用过去分词作状语，Equipped with... 意为“配备有……”。 7. innovative　考查词性转换。修饰名词 design 需用形容词，innovate → innovative（创新的）。 8. of　考查固定搭配。be capable of doing sth 意为“有能力做某事”。 9. prediction　考查词性转换。定冠词 The 后接名词作主语，predict → prediction（预测）。 10. It　考查强调句。It was... that... 为强调句型，此处强调主语 the new technology，故填 It。 五、书面表达（参考范文） Technology is changing our lives at an amazing speed. In the future, smart homes will take care of many daily tasks, and artificial intelligence will help us work and study more efficiently. However, these changes may also bring problems. If we rely too much on machines, we may lose some basic skills and even our ability to think for ourselves. Besides, our personal data may not be safe. In my opinion, we should welcome new technology but always stay in control of it. As long as we use it wisely, technology will make our future brighter rather than colder. 评分标准（10 分）：内容要点齐全 4 分；语言准确、丰富 4 分；篇章连贯、逻辑清晰 2 分。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
