第一节 阅读理解(共15小题;每小题1.5分,满分22.5分)
阅读下列短文,从短文后每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Have you ever wondered why so many apps are free to use? After all, they cost money to run. Well, instead of paying with money, you’re paying by sharing your personal data (数据). Then businesses buy and use the data so that they can show you targeted ads (定向广告).
What happens to personal information online?
Many free apps get paid by businesses that want to know about the users of the apps. What a business wants is the exact information about customers. Companies called “data brokers” collect your data—everything from your name, location and education level to the topics you search for, the websites you visit and the people you follow, and then sell it to other brokers and businesses.
__________
The data is valuable. Businesses can use the information from data brokers to target their ads. It means they will show their ads to the people who are most likely to be interested in their products or services.
What can we do about it?
Many countries have made laws to protect personal information. For example, a law in the United States says companies must get parents’ permission to collect personal data from kids under 13. China’s law on personal information protection came into effect on November 1, 2021. At the same time, we should try to protect our data. If an app asks for something like your location, consider saying “No” first. In short, information about you is very valuable. Try to protect it.
11.According to the passage, how can people use some apps for free?
A.By sharing their personal data. B.By buying and using the data.
C.By showing the targeted ads. D.By talking with friends.
12.According to the passage, which picture can describe how businesses show their targeted ads?
A. B.
C. D.
13.According to the passage, why do “data brokers” collect personal information?
A.To use the apps for free. B.To sell the information to businesses.
C.To protect users’ personal data. D.To make new laws about privacy.
14.Which of the following can be put in the “________”?
A.What are people interested in?
B.Why do businesses show their ads?
C.Why do businesses want the data?
D.What are the new products?
15.Who’s the passage written for?
A.Businessmen. B.App users. C.Lawyers. D.Data brokers.
B
How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries, people have developed different ways of telling the time.
About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows (流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time.
In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, spring (发条) were added around 1500. This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It’s also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run business, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.
There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work.
16.According to the passage, we can’t use the ________ to tell the time on a rainy day.
A.water clock B.sun clock
C.digital clock D.mechanical clock
17.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ordinary” in the third paragraph?
A.modern B.special C.rich D.common
18.How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage?
A.Four. B.Five. C.Six. D.Seven.
19.Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage?
(①—paragraph 1, ②—paragraph 2, …)
A. B. C. D.
20.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.The importance of time. B.The development of timekeeping.
C.The inventions of clocks. D.The history of a digital clock.
C
At the 15th National Games, a special helper slowly came into public view—a six-legged guide robot there to help blind people. It was not just a cold machine; it moved gently and worked carefully and wisely, just like a friend.
During the Games, the robot became useful “eyes” for many visitors who have trouble seeing. It could understand spoken words and lead the way safely. In busy places like stadiums and parks, the robot moved smoothly. It “saw” things in the way, such as chairs or people walking by, and quickly found a safer path. This helped blind visitors move around more easily and feel less worried.
What makes this robot special is its six legs. They help it walk well on different terrains—inside buildings, on grass, or on streets. Besides, it does not always need the internet to work. After the Games, the robot still helps people. Now it guides blind people in train stations, airports, and other public places. It can also tell users about traffic lights and help at home.
Like Easton’s story of the helping hand, this robot shows how a good idea can become helpful. Unlike (不像) expensive medical equipment, it is made to be light, safe, and not costly—something ordinary families can actually consider buying. This way, more people can use it. The robot does not just help with walking—it gives more freedom, safety, and friendship to those who need it.
In short, this six-legged guide robot was more than just a star at the National Games. It showed us a future of smart and friendly technology. This kind of technology is inexpensive and can become a part of everyday life. Now, by helping blind people in stations, airports, and even at home, it is truly making the world safer, and warmer.
21.How does the writer begin the passage?
A.By describing a vivid scene. B.By asking some questions.
C.By telling an interesting story. D.By giving enough examples.
22.How did the robot help blind visitors during the Games?
A.It guided them. B.It comforted them.
C.It talked to them. D.It found seats for them.
23.What does the underlined word “terrains” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Parts of buildings. B.Sizes of robots.
C.Types of ground. D.Weather conditions.
24.Why does the writer mention Easton’s story of the helping hand?
A.To show that building robots is very expensive.
B.To explain how the robot’s legs were designed.
C.To give an example of another helpful machine.
D.To show how good ideas can help people in real life.
25.Which is the best title for the passage?
A.A Smart but Expensive Robot B.Helping Hands at the Games
C.The Story of a Six-Legged Robot D.A Six-legged Helper for the Blind

Do you want to take the flying taxi in the rush hour, getting where you want to go much faster than you could in a car?
26 In June, a company (公司) called Joby Aviation tested (测试) their new air taxi. Joby has been making and testing flying taxis since 2017.
Joby says their air taxi will be flown by a pilot and can carry four other passengers. It can fly as fast as 320 kilometers per hour and can go around 160 kilometers before it needs to be recharged (充电). 27
Joby thinks they will start carrying passengers for money by 2025. They expect to charge (收费) about $3 a mile at first. 28 . Joby also expects their air taxis can give a ride-sharing service in the air. Just like you might use an app to order a car to pick you up, you could use an app to order an air taxi.
29 For one thing, governments (政府) need to make rules about where, when, and how these taxis can fly. And as exciting as the idea of flying taxis is, some people have worries about them. The taxis may be quieter than helicopters. 30 Some people think that only rich people will be able to afford (买得起) to use them in the future.
A.They are both quieter and cheaper than helicopters (直升机).
B.Air taxis will change the world in the future.
C.Air taxis are taking a big step now.
D.But there’s still a lot to do before air taxis become common.
E.However, they’ll still be adding noise and traffic to the skies.
F.But over time, they hope to bring the price down to less than $1 per mile.

第二部分 非选择题(满分25分)
三、语法填空。(本题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)
阅读下面短文,在文章空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
If you count the number of digits (数字) in your mobile phone number, you can notice that it has 11 digits. Sometimes you may find it hard 36 (remember) your number. How can you remember it 37 (clear)?
The 11 digits can be divided 38 three parts. Each part has a different 39 (mean). The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider you are using. For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation (中国移动) and 130 is for China Unicom (中国联通). The 40 (four) to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered (登记). And 41 last four digits are random (随机的).
The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the second 42 (large) population in the world. We once had 10 numbers. But as our population 43 (grow), there were not enough numbers for us to use. 44 we have used 11 digits since the year 1999. Eleven digits can be used to make 45 (billion) of mobile phone numbers. That’s enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China.
四、书面表达。(共15分)

After the Games, the robot still helps people. Now it guides blind people in train stations, airports, and other public places. It can also tell users about traffic lights and help at home.
Like Easton’s story of the helping hand, this robot shows how a good idea can become helpful. Unlike (不像) expensive medical equipment, it is made to be light, safe, and not costly—something ordinary families can actually consider buying. This way, more people can use it. The robot does not just help with walking—it gives more freedom, safety, and friendship to those who need it.
In short, this six-legged guide robot was more than just a star at the National Games. It showed us a future of smart and friendly technology. This kind of technology is inexpensive and can become a part of everyday life. Now, by helping blind people in stations, airports, and even at home, it is truly making the world safer, and warmer.

第二部分 非选择题(满分25分)
三、语法填空。(本题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)
阅读下面短文,在文章空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
If you count the number of digits (数字) in your mobile phone number, you can notice that it has 11 digits. Sometimes you may find it hard 36 (remember) your number. How can you remember it 37 (clear)?
The 11 digits can be divided 38 three parts. Each part has a different 39 (mean). The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider you are using. For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation (中国移动) and 130 is for China Unicom (中国联通). The 40 (four) to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered (登记). And 41 last four digits are random (随机的).
The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the second 42 (large) population in the world. We once had 10 numbers. But as our population 43 (grow), there were not enough numbers for us to use. 44 we have used 11 digits since the year 1999. Eleven digits can be used to make 45 (billion) of mobile phone numbers. That’s enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China.
【答案】36.to remember 37.clearly 38.into 39.meaning 40.fourth 41.the 42.largest 43.grew 44.So 45.billions
【导语】本文介绍了我国11位手机号的分段含义,以及从10位号码升级为11位号码的原因。
【详解】36.句意:有时候你可能会觉得很难记住自己的号码。此处使用结构find it +形容词+ to do sth.,“it”作形式宾语,真正的宾语是后置的不定式结构,因此填remember的不定式形式to remember。
37.句意:要怎样才能把它记得清楚呢?此处需要修饰动词“remember”,副词可以用于修饰动词,因此将形容词clear变为副词形式clearly。
38.句意:这11位数字可以被划分为三个部分。此处使用搭配be divided into,意为“被划分为……”,故填入into。
39.句意:每个部分都有不同的含义。“a different”后接名词单数,因此将动词mean变为名词meaning,意为“含义、意义”。
40.句意:第四位到第七位数字会告诉你这个号码是在哪里登记的。根据“The…to the seventh digits”可知此处表达“第四位到第七位数字”的顺序含义,需要用序数词,因此基数词four变为序数词fourth。
41.句意:而且最后四位数字是随机生成的。空格后是形容词最高级“last”,特指“最后四位数字”,形容词最高级前需要加定冠词the。
42.句意:使用11位数字的主要原因是,我国是世界上人口第二多的国家。此处使用结构the +序数词+形容词最高级,意为“第几最……的”,这里表达“世界第二大人口国”,因此填large的最高级largest。
43.句意:但随着人口增长,没有足够的号码供我们使用。上下文都使用一般过去时描述过去人口增长的情况,因此填入grow对应的过去式grew。
44.句意:1999年起就开始使用11位数字的号码了。根据“there were not enough numbers for us to use”和“have used 11 digits”可知前后是因果关系,因此填连词So,句首首字母大写。
45.句意:11位数字可以编出数十亿个手机号。此处使用搭配billions of,意为“数十亿的”,表示模糊的数量概念,要用billion的复数形式billions。

阅读下列短文,从短文后每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Have you ever wondered why so many apps are free to use? After all, they cost money to run. Well, instead of paying with money, you’re paying by sharing your personal data (数据). Then businesses buy and use the data so that they can show you targeted ads (定向广告).
What happens to personal information online?
Many free apps get paid by businesses that want to know about the users of the apps. What a business wants is the exact information about customers. Companies called “data brokers” collect your data—everything from your name, location and education level to the topics you search for, the websites you visit and the people you follow, and then sell it to other brokers and businesses.
__________
The data is valuable. Businesses can use the information from data brokers to target their ads. It means they will show their ads to the people who are most likely to be interested in their products or services.
What can we do about it?
Many countries have made laws to protect personal information. For example, a law in the United States says companies must get parents’ permission to collect personal data from kids under 13. China’s law on personal information protection came into effect on November 1, 2021. At the same time, we should try to protect our data. If an app asks for something like your location, consider saying “No” first. In short, information about you is very valuable. Try to protect it.
11.According to the passage, how can people use some apps for free?
A.By sharing their personal data. B.By buying and using the data.
C.By showing the targeted ads. D.By talking with friends.
12.According to the passage, which picture can describe how businesses show their targeted ads?
A. B.
C. D.
13.According to the passage, why do “data brokers” collect personal information?
A.To use the apps for free. B.To sell the information to businesses.
C.To protect users’ personal data. D.To make new laws about privacy.
14.Which of the following can be put in the “________”?
A.What are people interested in?
B.Why do businesses show their ads?
C.Why do businesses want the data?
D.What are the new products?
15.Who’s the passage written for?
A.Businessmen. B.App users. C.Lawyers. D.Data brokers.
B
How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries, people have developed different ways of telling the time.
About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows (流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time.
In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, spring (发条) were added around 1500. This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It’s also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run business, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.
There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work.
16.According to the passage, we can’t use the ________ to tell the time on a rainy day.
A.water clock B.sun clock
C.digital clock D.mechanical clock
17.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ordinary” in the third paragraph?
A.modern B.special C.rich D.common
18.How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage?
A.Four. B.Five. C.Six. D.Seven.
19.Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage?
(①—paragraph 1, ②—paragraph 2, …)
A. B. C. D.
20.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.The importance of time. B.The development of timekeeping.
C.The inventions of clocks. D.The history of a digital clock.
C
At the 15th National Games, a special helper slowly came into public view—a six-legged guide robot there to help blind people. It was not just a cold machine; it moved gently and worked carefully and wisely, just like a friend.
During the Games, the robot became useful “eyes” for many visitors who have trouble seeing. It could understand spoken words and lead the way safely. In busy places like stadiums and parks, the robot moved smoothly. It “saw” things in the way, such as chairs or people walking by, and quickly found a safer path. This helped blind visitors move around more easily and feel less worried.
What makes this robot special is its six legs. They help it walk well on different terrains—inside buildings, on grass, or on streets. Besides, it does not always need the internet to work. After the Games, the robot still helps people. Now it guides blind people in train stations, airports, and other public places. It can also tell users about traffic lights and help at home.
Like Easton’s story of the helping hand, this robot shows how a good idea can become helpful. Unlike (不像) expensive medical equipment, it is made to be light, safe, and not costly—something ordinary families can actually consider buying. This way, more people can use it. The robot does not just help with walking—it gives more freedom, safety, and friendship to those who need it.
In short, this six-legged guide robot was more than just a star at the National Games. It showed us a future of smart and friendly technology. This kind of technology is inexpensive and can become a part of everyday life. Now, by helping blind people in stations, airports, and even at home, it is truly making the world safer, and warmer.
21.How does the writer begin the passage?
A.By describing a vivid scene. B.By asking some questions.
C.By telling an interesting story. D.By giving enough examples.
22.How did the robot help blind visitors during the Games?
A.It guided them. B.It comforted them.
C.It talked to them. D.It found seats for them.
23.What does the underlined word “terrains” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Parts of buildings. B.Sizes of robots.
C.Types of ground. D.Weather conditions.
24.Why does the writer mention Easton’s story of the helping hand?
A.To show that building robots is very expensive.
B.To explain how the robot’s legs were designed.
C.To give an example of another helpful machine.
D.To show how good ideas can help people in real life.
25.Which is the best title for the passage?
A.A Smart but Expensive Robot B.Helping Hands at the Games
C.The Story of a Six-Legged Robot D.A Six-legged Helper for the Blind

第二部分 非选择题(满分25分)
三、语法填空。(本题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)
阅读下面短文,在文章空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
If you count the number of digits (数字) in your mobile phone number, you can notice that it has 11 digits. Sometimes you may find it hard 36 (remember) your number. How can you remember it 37 (clear)?
The 11 digits can be divided 38 three parts. Each part has a different 39 (mean). The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider you are using. For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation (中国移动) and 130 is for China Unicom (中国联通). The 40 (four) to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered (登记). And 41 last four digits are random (随机的).
The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the second 42 (large) population in the world. We once had 10 numbers. But as our population 43 (grow), there were not enough numbers for us to use. 44 we have used 11 digits since the year 1999. Eleven digits can be used to make 45 (billion) of mobile phone numbers. That’s enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China.
