From mechanical dogs navigating dangerous ruins to swarms of collaborative micro-fliers, they are expanding the boundaries of human action in various forms. Spot Over 1,000 of these yellow robots, Spot, are already checking factories and power plants. And now the New York City Fire Department is starting to use the dog-like devices for search-and-rescue missions. In April 2024, a Spot surveyed the remains of a collapsed car park that was considered too unstable for fire crews to enter. Spot can also send back video footage, carry up to 14 kg and when fitted with an add-on “arm”, open doors and press switches. Lightning Swarm Inspired by fireflies, these robots are tiny and can give out light in various colours. The scientists intend the robots to use their lights to signal to and track each other: a low-power communication strategy for a lightweight robot. “We envision sending hundreds or more of these tiny flying robots into a disaster site, and having them collectively search for survivors,” says MIT robotics engineer Prof Kevin Chen. “Once a survivor is found, they’ll pass the information out to the operators.” Trail Blazers At the Bajiao Fire Rescue Station, in Yantai, eastern China, a firefighter tests out a fire-fighting robot. For a few years, China has been promoting the technology, which allows human firefighters to stay safely outside the danger zone while controlling robot firefighters to put out fires at chemical plants and in subways. One major advantage of this approach is fire resistance—Trail Blazers can work at temperatures of 1,000℃ for over 30 mins. Rooster Thanks to its clever design, Rooster can roll across surfaces or fly around to examine almost any type of disaster site, moving through narrow passages and windows, or over obstacles and up or down staircases. Designed to assist in search operations, the robot uses cameras and sensors to scan a space, so that rescuers don’t need to enter dangerous areas. Rooster can also communicate with search teams and other robots via a radio link. 1. Which robot can be operated in extremely hot situations? A. Spot. B. Lightning Swarm. C. Trail Blazers. D. Rooster. 2. What do these robots have in common? A. They can operate in high-risk environments. B. They can help conduct rescues. C. They are equipped with perception (感知) tools for environmental detection. D. They are modeled after animals. 3. Where is this text most probably from? A. A science fiction. B. An operating handbook. C. A shopping guideline. D. A science magazine. B Born in Zambia and raised in Portland, 25-year-old Asùkùlù Songolo is the son of Congolese refugees — a background that, as he says, has deeply shaped his life choices. In the beginning, Songolo planned to study international relations at Stanford University with a focus on Africa, followed by law school and a potential career as a professor of African history. However, his career path took an unexpected turn after spending the summer of 2023 as an intern (实习生) at Marché Noir Lomé-Paris, a French fashion boutique (时装店) in Paris during the Haute Couture Week. “I’ve always been interested in clothes. I admired how my parents, aunts, and uncles dressed, and I observed how people combined and matched different pieces,” Songolo explains. “But I never really saw fashion as a possible career. During Haute Couture Week, though, seeing people from diverse backgrounds all drawn to the same brand and viewing fashion as a unifying force made me reconsider.” Fast-forward three years, Songolo, who has launched his own brand, Luùndo, has fully committed to his fashion career. The brand combines traditional cultural clothing with modern designs, ranging from casual wear to tailored suits and dresses. Many of his creations are inspired by Congolese aesthetics (美学), and he aims to create more opportunities for people to engage with African culture through fashion, describing Luùndo not just as a brand but as a celebration where people can express their identity and heritage with love. “My dream is to develop creative industries, starting in Congo and then expanding across Africa. By 2050, Africa is expected to have the largest youth population in the world, but I don’t think enough is being done to create jobs for them.” His vision is to establish manufacturing in Congo and generate employment opportunities. 4. What initially influenced Asùkùlù Songolo’s career planning? A. His Congolese refugee family background. B. His experience at Paris Haute Couture Week. C. His research on immigrant youth engagement. D. His interest in clothes and fashion from a young age. 5. What made Songolo consider fashion as a career during his Paris internship? A. The chance to attend Haute Couture Week. B. Observing how his family members dressed. C. The opportunity to work at a fashion boutique. D. Seeing fashion bond people from diverse backgrounds. 6. What is the main goal of Songolo’s brand, Luùndo? A. To focus only on traditional Congolese clothing. B. To become the most popular fashion brand globally. C. To involve people in African culture through fashion. D. To compete with major international fashion brands. 7. Which of the following can best describe Songolo? A. Still waters run deep. B. Honesty is the best policy. C. One good turn deserves another. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. C Tired of standing in line? Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again. Everyone from Amazon to Silicon Valley start-ups is trying to eliminate lines in retail (零售) stores. Amazon has opened 24 of its Amazon Go stores, which use cameras and artificial intelligence (AI) to see what you’ve taken off shelves and charge you as you walk out. Some start-ups are closely copying Amazon’s approach to using AI-powered cameras fixed in ceilings. But others are trying an entirely different way to skip the checkout: smart shopping carts. These companies have added cameras and sensors (传感器) to the carts, and are using AI to tell what you’ve placed in them. A built-in scale weighs items, in case you have to pay by the pound for an item. Customers pay by using a credit card, or through an online payment system. When customers exit the store, a green light on the shopping cart indicates that their orders are complete, and they’re charged. The start-ups behind the smart shopping carts, including Caper and Veeve, say it’s much easier to add technology to the shopping cart than to an entire store. Amazon Go stores rely on hundreds of cameras in the ceiling. The shelves also include sensors to tell when an item is removed. Ahmed Beshry, cofounder of Caper, believes the technology to run Amazon Go is too expensive to use in a large grocery store. Neither Caper nor Veeve has said how much their smart shopping carts will cost, making it difficult to compare the different formats. Shariq Siddiqui, CEO of Veeve, said he’s finding increased interest from retailers given Amazon’s steady expansion of Amazon Go since the first Amazon Go store opened in Seattle in 2018. “We’re always happy when Amazon is doing something,” Siddiqui said. “They force retailers to get out of their old-school thinking.” Each time a business uses artificial intelligence and cameras, it raises questions about customer privacy and the impact on jobs. Beshry notes that the cameras in his smart shopping cart point down into the cart, so only customers’ hands and part of their arms will be captured (拍摄) by cameras. 8. Which of the following best explains “eliminate” underlined in paragraph 1? A. Shift. B. Break. C. Extend. D. Remove. 9. What do we know about the smart shopping carts? A. They are linked to the cameras fixed in the ceilings. B. They are able to recognize purchases placed in them. C. They flash the green light when the order is cancelled. D. They can tell customers where to find what they want. 10. What does Beshry think of the technology applied in Amazon Go stores? A. It is far more expensive than their smart shopping carts. B. It has attracted many more retailers than before. C. It may increase the cost of running a large grocery store greatly. D. It is likely to help retailers to think differently. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. The New Technology Promotes Retail Sales B. AI-powered Cameras Are Used in Retail Stores C. Artificial Intelligence Affects the Future Job Market D. Smart Shopping Carts Will Let You Skip the Line D “Woman reading book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere,” I type into Deep Dream Generator’s Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned to me showing what I’ve described. Welcome to the world of AI image generation, where you can create what on the surface looks like top-rank artwork using just a few text prompts (提示). But closer examination shows strange things. The face of the woman in my image has very odd features, and appears to be holding multiple books. And, while there’s an initial excitement at seeing an image appear, there’s no creative satisfaction. AI image generation could influence everything from film to graphic novels and more. Children’s illustrators were quick to raise concerns about the technology. They say AI-generated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be. Basically, art is all about translating something that you feel internally into something that exists externally. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece. And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process. Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues. To create images from prompts, AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text. This could lead to the creation of images that are intentionally meant to imitate (模仿) the style of other artists, without their agreement. There is an argument that AI generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work. However, a human artist is also adding emotion and slight difference into the mix. AI doesn’t do the same — it can only copy. The increasing use of AI will also lead to a lowering of value of the artists’ work. There’s already a negative opinion towards the creative industry. People will begin to think that their “work” is as excellent as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It’s nonsense, of course. You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughter, but you are no match for professionals. 12. What does the writer think of his image creation? A. Exciting. B. Concerned. C. Unsatisfying. D. Shocking. 13. What do children’s illustrators value most about art? A. The final art work. B. External expressions in art. C. The opposite of reality. D. The journey to creation. 14. What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about? A. The moral concerns in AI art imitation. B. Human artists’ influence on AI generators. C. The advantages of human artworks. D. The over-reliance of human on technology. 15. What is the author’s attitude to the belief that AI works can match professional art? A. Indifferent. B. Uncertain. C. Opposed. D. Supportive. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 The simple typewriter was once the unquestioned king of every office around the world. Its story began in Milwaukee in the 1860s, where inventor Christopher Latham Sholes, with the help of his partners, finally created a machine that would change writing forever: the Sholes and Glidden typewriter, which had the now-worldwide QWERTY keyboard. This keyboard design was made to stop mechanical jams by slowing typists down — a smart solution to a technical problem. ____16____ It brought new job chances, especially for women, who started to join the workforce as secretaries in large numbers. For nearly a century, the typewriter was the core of business, journalism and government. Offices rang with the steady tap-tap of keys, and carbon paper was used to make copies. However, in the 1970s and 1980s, the digital revolution took place. ____17____ The arrival of personal computers and word processing software like WordPerfect and Microsoft Word changed how people created documents. ____18____ By the mid-1990s, computers had taken the place of typewriters in almost every workplace, making them out of date and leading famous brands like IBM and Underwood to decline. ____19____ Some writers, collectors and artists have held onto them, enjoying the feel of typing, the satisfying click when the carriage returns (回车换行), and the environment that helps people stay focused — all provided by these machines. ____20____ Young people, in particular, are finding their appeal again, and old-style typewriters have become sought-after things on online auction (拍卖) sites. Though it’s no longer used as a tool in modern businesses, the typewriter still exists as a powerful symbol of a communication era. A. Yet, the typewriter never truly went away. B. Typewriters are still in use in some fields. C. It started the end of the typewriter’s dominance. D. Many people love both typewriters and computers. E. Editing became easy, and there were endless ways to format text. F. In the years that followed, typing became a highly valued special skill. G. Nowadays, more and more people have started to pay attention to typewriters. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 When I was growing up, I was interested in science.

No one could imagine how much he missed his dad. He breathed in the glove’s warm, leathery smell. The car stopped outside the baseball field. “Hey, buddy (伙计), have fun at practice. And don’t forget about your sister’s dancing performance tonight,” said Jonah’s stepfather, Steve, as Jonah climbed out. “Zoe was not my sister, and you couldn’t tell me what to do,” Jonah complained in his mind. Since Mom married Steve a few months ago, Jonah had a lot of mixed-up feelings. He could hardly concentrate. Even baseball — what he always loved — felt different lately. After practice, Jonah and David, his best friend, sat together and waited for their ride. Jonah expressed how he wished things hadn’t changed and that he could still be with his own dad, not a stepfather. David comforted Jonah it was no big deal. “I have a stepmother and stepbrother too,” David smiled, “They’re just Mom and Dennis now. Give it a chance.” Jonah let out a breath, still unsure about the performance tonight. Still unsure about everything! Back at the apartment, Jonah found Zoe in her costume, but something was wrong. Her arms tight across her chest, her eyes were filled with tears. Wondering what was up, Jonah asked Mom, who explained Zoe was just too nervous to go on stage. Huh! This should have been the best thing that could have happened — the possibility of not going to the performance. But somehow it wasn’t. Zoe had practiced so hard. She’d reminded Jonah at least a thousand times where she would be onstage. （1）就文中划线段落进行概要写作，词数不超过15个； ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ （2）根据所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文，词数应为70个左右；请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Having thought twice, Jonah went forward. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年厦门二中第一学期高二年段10月月考英语科试卷 满分150分，考试时间120分钟 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

(这种方法的一个主要优点是耐火性——Trail Blazers可以在1000℃的温度下工作30多分钟)”可知，Trail Blazers能够在极热的情况下工作，而其他机器人并没有提及有这样的能力。故选C。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“In the fields of disaster rescue and industrial inspection, robots are becoming powerful assistants and pioneers for humans. (在灾难救援和工业检查领域，机器人正成为人类强大的助手和先驱)”；同时根据Spot部分中“Over 1,000 of these yellow robots, Spot, are already checking factories and power plants. And now the New York City Fire Department is starting to use the dog-like devices for search-and-rescue missions.(超过 1000 台这种名为“Spot”的黄色机器人已经开始在工厂和发电厂进行检查工作。而如今，纽约市消防部门也开始将这种类似狗的设备用于搜救任务。)”可知，该机器人用于搜救任务；根据Lightning Swarm部分中“We envision sending hundreds or more of these tiny flying robots into a disaster site, and having them collectively search for survivors(我们设想将数百乃至更多这样的微型飞行机器人送入灾难现场，让它们共同搜寻幸存者。)”可知，该机器人用于灾难现场搜索幸存者；同时根据Trail Blazers部分中“At the Bajiao Fire Rescue Station, in Yantai, eastern China, a firefighter tests out a fire-fighting robot.(在位于中国东部烟台的Bajiao消防救援站，一名消防员正在测试一款消防机器人。)”可知，该机器人用于消防救援；以及根据Rooster部分中“Thanks to its clever design, Rooster can roll across surfaces or fly around to examine almost any type of disaster site, moving through narrow passages and windows, or over obstacles and up or down staircases.( 得益于其巧妙的设计，Rooster能够在各种表面上滚动移动，或者飞行动作，从而能够对几乎任何类型的灾难现场进行勘查，它能够穿过狭窄的通道和窗户，跨越障碍物，沿着楼梯向上或向下移动。)”可知，该机器人用于协助搜索行动。由此可以推断出这些机器人的共同点是它们都能帮助开展救援工作。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章主要介绍了在灾难救援和工业检查领域使用的几种不同类型的机器人，包括它们的功能、特点等信息，属于科学科技类的内容，由此推断文章出自一本科学杂志。故选D。 B Born in Zambia and raised in Portland, 25-year-old Asùkùlù Songolo is the son of Congolese refugees — a background that, as he says, has deeply shaped his life choices. In the beginning, Songolo planned to study international relations at Stanford University with a focus on Africa, followed by law school and a potential career as a professor of African history. However, his career path took an unexpected turn after spending the summer of 2023 as an intern (实习生) at Marché Noir Lomé-Paris, a French fashion boutique (时装店) in Paris during the Haute Couture Week. “I’ve always been interested in clothes. I admired how my parents, aunts, and uncles dressed, and I observed how people combined and matched different pieces,” Songolo explains. “But I never really saw fashion as a possible career. During Haute Couture Week, though, seeing people from diverse backgrounds all drawn to the same brand and viewing fashion as a unifying force made me reconsider.” Fast-forward three years, Songolo, who has launched his own brand, Luùndo, has fully committed to his fashion career. The brand combines traditional cultural clothing with modern designs, ranging from casual wear to tailored suits and dresses. Many of his creations are inspired by Congolese aesthetics (美学), and he aims to create more opportunities for people to engage with African culture through fashion, describing Luùndo not just as a brand but as a celebration where people can express their identity and heritage with love. “My dream is to develop creative industries, starting in Congo and then expanding across Africa. By 2050, Africa is expected to have the largest youth population in the world, but I don’t think enough is being done to create jobs for them.” His vision is to establish manufacturing in Congo and generate employment opportunities. 4. What initially influenced Asùkùlù Songolo’s career planning? A. His Congolese refugee family background. B. His experience at Paris Haute Couture Week. C. His research on immigrant youth engagement. D. His interest in clothes and fashion from a young age. 5. What made Songolo consider fashion as a career during his Paris internship? A. The chance to attend Haute Couture Week. B. Observing how his family members dressed. C. The opportunity to work at a fashion boutique. D. Seeing fashion bond people from diverse backgrounds. 6. What is the main goal of Songolo’s brand, Luùndo? A. To focus only on traditional Congolese clothing. B. To become the most popular fashion brand globally. C. To involve people in African culture through fashion. D. To compete with major international fashion brands. 7. Which of the following can best describe Songolo? A. Still waters run deep. B. Honesty is the best policy. C. One good turn deserves another. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述25岁的阿苏库卢・松戈洛受家庭背景影响最初规划的职业路径，因巴黎实习经历转向时尚领域，创立品牌并致力于推动非洲创意产业发展的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Born in Zambia and raised in Portland, 25-year-old Asùkùlù Songolo is the son of Congolese refugees — a background that, as he says, has deeply shaped his life choices.(25岁的阿苏库卢・松戈洛出生于赞比亚，在波特兰长大，他是刚果难民的儿子——正如他所说，这一背景深刻影响了他的人生选择)”可知，最初影响松戈洛职业规划的是他刚果难民的家庭背景。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“During Haute Couture Week, though, seeing people from diverse backgrounds all drawn to the same brand and viewing fashion as a unifying force made me reconsider.(然而，在高级定制时装周期间，看到不同背景的人都被同一个品牌吸引，并将时尚视为一种凝聚力量，这让我重新思考)”可知，松戈洛在巴黎实习期间考虑将时尚作为职业，是因为看到时尚能连接不同背景的人。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Many of his creations are inspired by Congolese aesthetics (美学), and he aims to create more opportunities for people to engage with African culture through fashion, describing Luùndo not just as a brand but as a celebration where people can express their identity and heritage with love.(他的许多作品都受到刚果美学的启发，他的目标是通过时尚为人们创造更多接触非洲文化的机会，他说Luùndo不仅是一个品牌，而且是一种庆祝活动，人们可以用爱来表达自己的身份和传统)”可知，松戈洛的品牌Luùndo的主要目标是通过时尚让人们接触非洲文化。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第三段中“Fast-forward three years, Songolo, who has launched his own brand, Luùndo, has fully committed to his fashion career.(三年后，松戈洛创立了自己的品牌Luùndo，全身心投入时尚事业)”，以及第四段中“My dream is to develop creative industries, starting in Congo and then expanding across Africa. By 2050, Africa is expected to have the largest youth population in the world, but I don’t think enough is being done to create jobs for them.(我的梦想是发展创意产业，从刚果开始，然后扩展到整个非洲。到2050年，非洲预计将拥有世界上最多的青年人口，但我认为在为他们创造就业机会方面做得还不够)”可知，他从最初的学术职业规划，转变方向并成功投身时尚领域，还拥有推动非洲产业发展的远大目标，体现出“有志者事竟成”的特质。故选D。 C Tired of standing in line? Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again. Everyone from Amazon to Silicon Valley start-ups is trying to eliminate lines in retail (零售) stores. Amazon has opened 24 of its Amazon Go stores, which use cameras and artificial intelligence (AI) to see what you’ve taken off shelves and charge you as you walk out. Some start-ups are closely copying Amazon’s approach to using AI-powered cameras fixed in ceilings. But others are trying an entirely different way to skip the checkout: smart shopping carts. These companies have added cameras and sensors (传感器) to the carts, and are using AI to tell what you’ve placed in them. A built-in scale weighs items, in case you have to pay by the pound for an item. Customers pay by using a credit card, or through an online payment system. When customers exit the store, a green light on the shopping cart indicates that their orders are complete, and they’re charged. The start-ups behind the smart shopping carts, including Caper and Veeve, say it’s much easier to add technology to the shopping cart than to an entire store. Amazon Go stores rely on hundreds of cameras in the ceiling. The shelves also include sensors to tell when an item is removed. Ahmed Beshry, cofounder of Caper, believes the technology to run Amazon Go is too expensive to use in a large grocery store. Neither Caper nor Veeve has said how much their smart shopping carts will cost, making it difficult to compare the different formats. Shariq Siddiqui, CEO of Veeve, said he’s finding increased interest from retailers given Amazon’s steady expansion of Amazon Go since the first Amazon Go store opened in Seattle in 2018. “We’re always happy when Amazon is doing something,” Siddiqui said. “They force retailers to get out of their old-school thinking.” Each time a business uses artificial intelligence and cameras, it raises questions about customer privacy and the impact on jobs. Beshry notes that the cameras in his smart shopping cart point down into the cart, so only customers’ hands and part of their arms will be captured (拍摄) by cameras. 8. Which of the following best explains “eliminate” underlined in paragraph 1? A. Shift. B. Break. C. Extend. D. Remove. 9. What do we know about the smart shopping carts? A. They are linked to the cameras fixed in the ceilings. B. They are able to recognize purchases placed in them. C. They flash the green light when the order is cancelled. D. They can tell customers where to find what they want. 10. What does Beshry think of the technology applied in Amazon Go stores? A. It is far more expensive than their smart shopping carts. B. It has attracted many more retailers than before. C. It may increase the cost of running a large grocery store greatly. D. It is likely to help retailers to think differently. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. The New Technology Promotes Retail Sales B. AI-powered Cameras Are Used in Retail Stores C. Artificial Intelligence Affects the Future Job Market D. Smart Shopping Carts Will Let You Skip the Line 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为了消除顾客排队结账的烦恼，亚马逊及一些初创公司开发了智能购物车等新技术，通过人工智能和摄像头识别商品，实现自动结账。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Tired of standing in line? Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again. Everyone from Amazon to Silicon Valley start-ups is trying to eliminate lines in retail (零售) stores. (厌倦了排队？再等一会儿，你可能再也不需要排队了。从亚马逊到硅谷的初创公司，都在试图eliminate零售店的排队现象)”中“you may never have to again”可推知，一些公司旨在“消除”排队现象，所以要不了多久，你可能再也不需要排队了。故划线词eliminate意为“消除；去除”，与D项“Remove”同义。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“These companies have added cameras and sensors (传感器) to the carts, and are using AI to tell what you’ve placed in them. (这些公司在购物车上增加了摄像头和传感器，并利用人工智能来识别你放入其中的物品)”可知，智能购物车能够识别放入其中的商品。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Ahmed Beshry, cofounder of Caper, believes the technology to run Amazon Go is too expensive to use in a large grocery store. (Caper的联合创始人艾哈迈德·贝什里认为，运行亚马逊Go商店的技术成本太高，无法在大型杂货店使用)”可知，贝什里认为亚马逊Go商店应用的技术成本太高，可能会大大增加大型杂货店的运营成本。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Tired of standing in line? Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again. (厌倦了排队？再等一会儿，你可能再也不需要排队了)”以及后文对智能购物车等技术的介绍可知，本文主要讲述了智能购物车将让顾客免于排队结账。故D项“Smart Shopping Carts Will Let You Skip the Line (智能购物车将让你免于排队)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选D项。 D “Woman reading book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere,” I type into Deep Dream Generator’s Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned to me showing what I’ve described. Welcome to the world of AI image generation, where you can create what on the surface looks like top-rank artwork using just a few text prompts (提示). But closer examination shows strange things. The face of the woman in my image has very odd features, and appears to be holding multiple books. And, while there’s an initial excitement at seeing an image appear, there’s no creative satisfaction. AI image generation could influence everything from film to graphic novels and more. Children’s illustrators were quick to raise concerns about the technology. They say AI-generated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be. Basically, art is all about translating something that you feel internally into something that exists externally. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece. And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process. Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues. To create images from prompts, AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text. This could lead to the creation of images that are intentionally meant to imitate (模仿) the style of other artists, without their agreement. There is an argument that AI generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work. However, a human artist is also adding emotion and slight difference into the mix. AI doesn’t do the same — it can only copy. The increasing use of AI will also lead to a lowering of value of the artists’ work. There’s already a negative opinion towards the creative industry. People will begin to think that their “work” is as excellent as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It’s nonsense, of course. You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughter, but you are no match for professionals. 12. What does the writer think of his image creation? A. Exciting. B. Concerned. C. Unsatisfying. D. Shocking. 13. What do children’s illustrators value most about art? A. The final art work. B. External expressions in art. C. The opposite of reality. D. The journey to creation. 14. What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about? A. The moral concerns in AI art imitation. B. Human artists’ influence on AI generators. C. The advantages of human artworks. D. The over-reliance of human on technology. 15. What is the author’s attitude to the belief that AI works can match professional art? A. Indifferent. B. Uncertain. C. Opposed. D. Supportive. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了AI绘画的弊端以及它对艺术和艺术家带来的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“And, while there’s an initial excitement at seeing an image appear, there's no creative satisfaction.(虽然看到图像出现会有最初的兴奋感，但并没有创造性的满足感。)”可知，作者对生成的图像并不感到满意。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece.(无论采取何种形式，真正的艺术更注重创作过程，而不是最终的作品。)”可知，儿童插画家最看重的是艺术的创作过程（the journey to creation）。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues. To create images from prompts, AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text. This could lead to the creation of images that are intentionally meant to imitate (模仿) the style of other artists, without their agreement.(除了创造力之外，还有更深层次的问题。为了根据提示创建图像，AI生成器依赖于已有的艺术和文本数据库。这可能导致生成故意模仿其他艺术家风格的图像，且未征得他们的同意。)”可知，第四段主要讨论的是AI艺术在模仿他人作品方面涉及的道德（伦理）担忧。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“People will begin to think that their “work” is as excellent as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It’s nonsense, of course.(人们会开始认为他们的“作品”和那些毕生从事艺术创作的人所创作的作品一样出色。当然，这纯属胡说八道。)”可知，作者对“AI作品能与专业艺术相媲美”这一观点持反对态度。 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 The simple typewriter was once the unquestioned king of every office around the world. Its story began in Milwaukee in the 1860s, where inventor Christopher Latham Sholes, with the help of his partners, finally created a machine that would change writing forever: the Sholes and Glidden typewriter, which had the now-worldwide QWERTY keyboard. This keyboard design was made to stop mechanical jams by slowing typists down — a smart solution to a technical problem. ____16____ It brought new job chances, especially for women, who started to join the workforce as secretaries in large numbers. For nearly a century, the typewriter was the core of business, journalism and government. Offices rang with the steady tap-tap of keys, and carbon paper was used to make copies. However, in the 1970s and 1980s, the digital revolution took place. ____17____ The arrival of personal computers and word processing software like WordPerfect and Microsoft Word changed how people created documents. ____18____ By the mid-1990s, computers had taken the place of typewriters in almost every workplace, making them out of date and leading famous brands like IBM and Underwood to decline. ____19____ Some writers, collectors and artists have held onto them, enjoying the feel of typing, the satisfying click when the carriage returns (回车换行), and the environment that helps people stay focused — all provided by these machines. ____20____ Young people, in particular, are finding their appeal again, and old-style typewriters have become sought-after things on online auction (拍卖) sites. Though it’s no longer used as a tool in modern businesses, the typewriter still exists as a powerful symbol of a communication era. A. Yet, the typewriter never truly went away. B. Typewriters are still in use in some fields. C. It started the end of the typewriter’s dominance. D. Many people love both typewriters and computers. E. Editing became easy, and there were endless ways to format text. F. In the years that followed, typing became a highly valued special skill. G. Nowadays, more and more people have started to pay attention to typewriters. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. E 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。打字机曾是全球办公必备，它在商业、新闻和政府中举足轻重。然而，数字化革命和个人电脑的兴起让打字机逐渐退出主流。尽管不再常用，但作家、收藏家和艺术家仍保留着对它的喜爱，旧式打字机在拍卖网站上走俏。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Its story began in Milwaukee in the 1860s, where inventor Christopher Latham Sholes, with the help of his partners, finally created a machine that would change writing forever: the Sholes and Glidden typewriter, which had the now-worldwide QWERTY keyboard. This keyboard design was made to stop mechanical jams by slowing typists down — a smart solution to a technical problem.(它的故事始于19世纪60年代的密尔沃基，当时发明家克里斯托弗·拉瑟姆·肖尔斯在合作伙伴的协助下，终于制造出了能够彻底改变书写方式的机器：肖尔斯和格利登打字机，它采用了如今全球通用的 QWERTY 键盘布局。这种键盘设计旨在通过减缓打字速度来避免机械卡顿——这是针对技术问题的明智解决方案)”可知，本空前文提到了打字机的发明，本空后面谈到打字机的出现带来了新的工作机会，特别是对女性来说。因此，本空应该在谈打字机出现后对社会的影响，F项“在随后的几年里，打字成为一项备受重视的专业技能。”符合这里的语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文“For nearly a century, the typewriter was the core of business, journalism and government. Offices rang with the steady tap-tap of keys, and carbon paper was used to make copies. However, in the 1970s and 1980s, the digital revolution took place.(近一个世纪以来，打字机一直是商业、新闻业和政府工作的核心设备。办公室里总是能听到键盘有规律的敲击声，而碳纸则被用于复印文件。然而，在20世纪70年代和80年代，数字革命发生了)”本空前面谈到20世纪七八十年代数字革命爆发，因此，这里需要一句点明这场革命对打字机命运的冲击。C项“它开启了打字机统治地位走向终结的进程。”直接承接“digital revolution”，把“革命”与“终结”因果相连。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“The arrival of personal computers and word processing software like WordPerfect and Microsoft Word changed how people created documents.(个人电脑以及像 WordPerfect 和 Microsoft Word 这样的文字处理软件的出现，改变了人们制作文档的方式)”以及后文“By the mid-1990s, computers had taken the place of typewriters in almost every workplace, making them out of date and leading famous brands like IBM and Underwood to decline.(到20世纪90年代中期，计算机几乎已经取代了打字机在所有工作场所的应用，这使得它们逐渐过时，也导致了像IBM和Underwood这样的知名品牌走向衰落)”可知，本空前文提到了个人电脑和文字处理软件的出现改变了人们创建文档的方式，本空后文提到了到20世纪90年代中期，计算机几乎取代了所有工作场所的打字机，因此，本空应该在谈个人电脑和文字处理软件的优势，E项“编辑变得容易，文本格式化的方式也无穷无尽。”符合这里的语境。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据前文提到了计算机几乎取代了所有工作场所的打字机，使得打字机过时，并导致著名品牌如IBM和Underwood衰落，结合本空后文“Some writers, collectors and artists have held onto them, enjoying the feel of typing, the satisfying click when the carriage returns (回车换行), and the environment that helps people stay focused — all provided by these machines.(一些作家、收藏家和艺术家则保留了这些设备，他们享受着打字的感觉、回车换行时那令人满意的“咔哒”声，以及这些设备所营造的有助于人们集中注意力的环境——这一切都归功于这些机器)”提到了一些作家、收藏家和艺术家仍然保留着打字机，因此，本空应该在谈尽管打字机在现代商业中不再被用作工具，但它并没有真正消失，A项“然而，打字机从未真正消失。”符合这里段首句的内容。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Some writers, collectors and artists have held onto them, enjoying the feel of typing, the satisfying click when the carriage returns (回车换行), and the environment that helps people stay focused — all provided by these machines.(一些作家、收藏家和艺术家则保留了这些设备，他们享受着打字的感觉、回车换行时那令人满意的“咔哒”声，以及这些设备所营造的有助于人们集中注意力的环境——这一切都归功于这些机器)”以及后文“Young people, in particular, are finding their appeal again, and old-style typewriters have become sought-after things on online auction (拍卖) sites. Though it’s no longer used as a tool in modern businesses, the typewriter still exists as a powerful symbol of a communication era.(年轻人尤其重新发现了它们的魅力，而老式打字机在在线拍卖网站上也变得备受追捧。尽管在现代企业中已不再作为工具使用，但打字机仍作为一种强大的通信时代的象征而存在)”本空前文提到了一些作家、收藏家和艺术家仍然保留着打字机，并享受着打字的感觉，本空后文提到了尤其是年轻人开始重新发现它们的魅力，旧式打字机已成为在线拍卖网站上的抢手货，因此，G项“如今，越来越多的人开始关注打字机。”符合这里的前后文逻辑。故选G。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 When I was growing up, I was interested in science.

No one could imagine how much he missed his dad. He breathed in the glove’s warm, leathery smell. The car stopped outside the baseball field. “Hey, buddy (伙计), have fun at practice. And don’t forget about your sister’s dancing performance tonight,” said Jonah’s stepfather, Steve, as Jonah climbed out. “Zoe was not my sister, and you couldn’t tell me what to do,” Jonah complained in his mind. Since Mom married Steve a few months ago, Jonah had a lot of mixed-up feelings. He could hardly concentrate. Even baseball — what he always loved — felt different lately. After practice, Jonah and David, his best friend, sat together and waited for their ride. Jonah expressed how he wished things hadn’t changed and that he could still be with his own dad, not a stepfather. David comforted Jonah it was no big deal. “I have a stepmother and stepbrother too,” David smiled, “They’re just Mom and Dennis now. Give it a chance.” Jonah let out a breath, still unsure about the performance tonight. Still unsure about everything! Back at the apartment, Jonah found Zoe in her costume, but something was wrong. Her arms tight across her chest, her eyes were filled with tears. Wondering what was up, Jonah asked Mom, who explained Zoe was just too nervous to go on stage. Huh! This should have been the best thing that could have happened — the possibility of not going to the performance. But somehow it wasn’t. Zoe had practiced so hard. She’d reminded Jonah at least a thousand times where she would be onstage. （1）就文中划线段落进行概要写作，词数不超过15个； ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ （2）根据所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文，词数应为70个左右；请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Having thought twice, Jonah went forward. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】(1) Jonah struggles with mixed feelings and cares for nervous Zoe. (2) Having thought twice, Jonah went forward. He knelt down beside Zoe and gently held her trembling hands. Overwhelmed with guilt, he realized how selfish he had been. “I’ll be right there in the front row,” he whispered. Zoe nodded, relief washing over her face. It was at that moment that Jonah understood​ family meant showing up when it mattered most. Only then did he put aside his mixed-up feelings​ and decide to support his little sister wholeheartedly. 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了Jonah因父母离异、母亲再婚后内心充满矛盾。他对继父Steve和继妹Zoe心存抵触，甚至不愿去看Zoe的舞蹈表演。然而当他回到家，发现Zoe因紧张害怕上台而哭泣时，他的态度发生了转变。 【详解】（1）题解析 划线段落讲述了男孩Jonah因母亲再婚而对继父Steve及继妹Zoe抱有复杂情绪，但出于对Zoe的关心，他出现了反常行为。 1. 要点摘录 ① “Zoe was not my sister, and you couldn’t tell me what to do,” Jonah complained in his mind. ②Since Mom married Steve a few months ago, Jonah had a lot of mixed-up feelings. ③He could hardly concentrate. Even baseball — what he always loved — felt different lately. 2. 缜密构思 将第1、2两个要点进行重组，概括Jonah的复杂情绪；根据第3要点推测Jonah的反常出于对Zoe的关心。 3. 遣词造句 Jonah has mixed-up feelings about his new family. Jonah feels worried when he sees his nervous stepsister Zoe. 【高分句型】Jonah struggles with mixed feelings and cares for nervous Zoe. (用并列谓语结构简洁概括了Jonah的矛盾心理和对妹妹的关心，表达凝练有力。) （2）题解析 本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jonah因父母离异、母亲再婚后内心充满矛盾。他对继父Steve和继妹Zoe心存抵触，甚至不愿去看Zoe的舞蹈表演。然而当他回到家，发现Zoe因紧张害怕上台而哭泣时，他的态度发生了转变。 1. 段落续写：由首句内容可知，本段可描写Jonah放下内心的隔阂，主动安慰紧张的Zoe，承诺会在前排看她表演，并在这一刻领悟到家人的真正含义。 2. 续写线索： 走上前去——轻声承诺——Zoe释然——领悟家人意义——放下心结，全力支持 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 跪下：kneel / crouch ② 低语：whisper / murmur 情绪类 ① 内疚：guilt / regret ② 释然：relief / ease 【点睛】【高分句型1】Overwhelmed with guilt, he realized how selfish he had been.(运用了过去分词短语作状语以及how引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】It was at that moment that Jonah understood​ family meant showing up when it mattered most.(运用了It was...that...强调句型、省略了that的宾语从句以及when引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
