A．It allows cool air to come in. B．It is easy for hot air to flow out. C．It can protect the house from strong heat. 【答案】18．C 19．A 20．B 【原文】 W: We won’t know what the future house will look like, but we can imagine three kinds of houses. The first one is the tree house. Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity and even create fresh air for the home. The root of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil to control the home’s temperature. The second one is the lizard home. Like a lizard, changing colors with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During the dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy. The last one is the chimney house. In such a house, a chimney can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Do these look like skates? They’re Moonwalkers, battery-powered shoes with wheels. They are billed as “the world’s fastest shoes”. How do Moonwalkers work? Fix Moonwalkers to your shoes, power them on, and begin walking. The artificial intelligence software driving Moonwalkers measures and adjusts (调整) on-the-fly to both the terrain (地形) you’re on and the way you walk, providing safe and enjoyable walking experience. Moonwalkers move only when you do. They sense when you’re speeding up or slowing down. LOCK mode allows you to go up and down stairs confidently. Why do you choose Moonwalkers? ·Walk at the speed of a run: Get to where you’re going in less than half the time it normally takes. With a top speed of 7 mph, Moonwalkers improve every step. ·Expand (扩大) your footprint: Moonwalkers make walking many city blocks, even further, no sweat. ·Less stress: Less walking equals less stress on your body. Moonwalkers feature a user-friendly system that helps you naturally maintain mobility and balance. ·Freedom to go anywhere: Tested on dirt and much more, Moonwalkers can handle our current city and allow you to walk a hill like it’s nothing. Also, Moonwalkers can survive walking through rain. Despite their wide uses, they are not roller skates, so they do not freewheel, ever. What is the maximum user weight? Moonwalkers can support a maximum user weight of 220lbs (100kg). If you weigh more than 220lbs, you can still use Moonwalkers but will experience slightly reduced performance in certain edge cases. 21．(2.5分)What can we know about Moonwalkers? A．They are powered by walking. B．They help with stair climbing. C．They are assisted by technology. D．They can replace ordinary shoes. 22．(2.5分)With Moonwalkers, users may ________. A．walk as fast as they like B．practise their skating skills C．challenge their senses of balance D．travel further with less tiredness 23．(2.5分)According to the passage, which of the following might affect the Moonwalkers’ function? A．The hilly terrain. B．The rainy weather. C．The user weight. D．The walking distance. 【答案】21．C 22．D 23．C 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一款名为Moonwalkers的鞋子的情况。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据How do Moonwalkers work?部分第一段中“The artificial intelligence sottware driving Moonwalkers measures and adjusts (调整) on-the-fly to both the terrain (地形) you’re on and the way you walk, providing safe and enjoyable walking experience.(驱动Moonwalkers的人工智能软件会根据你所处的地形和行走方式进行测量和调整，为你提供安全和愉快的行走体验)”可知，Moonwalkers得到了技术的帮助。故选C。 22．细节理解题。根据Why do you choose Moonwalkers?部分中“·Expand (扩大) your footprint: Moonwalkers make walking many city blocks, even further, no sweat.(·扩大你的足迹：Moonwalkers可以让你走很多街区，甚至更远，毫不费力)”可知，有了Moonwalkers，用户可以在不那么疲劳的情况下走得更远。故选D。 23．细节理解题。根据最后一段“If you weigh more than 220lbs, you can still use Moonwalkers but will experience slightly reduced performance in certain edge cases. (如果你的体重超过220磅，你仍然可以使用月球漫步者，但在某些极端情况下，性能会略有下降)”可知，用户体重会影响Moonwalkers的功能。故选C。 （本题10分）Many writers praise the World Wide Web’s wonders, and countless articles highlight how the Internet simplifies our lives. We can shop without waiting in lines or carrying cash, get the latest information from large databases, and download software, documents, and images whenever we need them. But the Internet offers far more than convenience — it transforms lives through online communities and social networks.​ Jan, an English teacher in New York, US, suddenly fell seriously ill at 40 and quit her job. Stuck at home with only her computer, she soon found surfing the Internet eased her loneliness and boredom. She enjoyed music, films, games, and virtual exploration, and joined an online group to share troubles and get support. Jan realized the Internet’s greatest strength: it eliminates (清除) distance between people.​ Inspired by online connections, Jan started an IT club to teach older adults computer and Internet skills. She and friends organize events, raise funds for teachers, and help many in need. A 59-year-old man learned to apply for jobs online and found great work, letting his daughter focus on university. A 61-year-old lonely woman even co-founded a successful small online company with two friends.​ Jan now takes online classes to use the Internet for social good. She stresses bridging the digital divide — everyone should access and use new technology. Her next plan is a charity website to raise money for poor children. “When you face hard times, you meet others with similar struggles,” Jan says. “They inspired me to help.” For Jan, the Internet didn’t just improve her life — it sparked her desire to give back, showing its power to connect and inspire kindness. 24．(2.5分)What is the first paragraph mainly about? A．The history of the World Wide Web. B．The basic convenience brought by the Internet. C．The development of online databases. D．The importance of online communities. 25．(2.5分)Why did Jan have to give up her job? A．She wanted to work at home. B．She found a new job online. C．She suffered from a serious illness. D．She was bored with teaching. 26．(2.5分)What is one of the biggest advantages of the Internet according to Jan? A．It enriches people’s leisure life. B．It helps remove the distance between people. C．It provides the latest information. D．It makes online shopping easier. 27．(2.5分)What can we infer from Jan’s story? A．Older people are better at using the Internet. B．The Internet can bring people closer and inspire kindness. C．All problems can be solved by the Internet. D．The digital divide has already been bridged. 【答案】24．D 25．C 26．B 27．B 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了互联网不仅便利生活，更能拉近人际距离。教师简因病居家，借助网络排解孤独、获得慰藉，随后推广网络技术、帮扶他人，以网络传递善意与温暖。 【详解】24．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But the Internet offers far more than convenience — it transforms lives through online communities and social networks.​ Jan, an English teacher in New York, US, suddenly fell seriously ill at 40 and quit her job. Stuck at home with only her computer, she soon found surfing the Internet eased her loneliness and boredom. She enjoyed music, films, games, and virtual exploration, and joined an online group to share troubles and get support. Jan realized the Internet’s greatest strength: it eliminates (清除) distance between people.​(但互联网所提供的远不止便利——它通过在线社区和社交网络改变了人们的生活。美国纽约的一位英语教师简在 40 岁时突然身患重病并辞去了工作。她只能待在家里，身边只有自己的电脑。很快，她发现上网能缓解她的孤独和无聊感。她喜欢音乐、电影、游戏和虚拟探索，并加入了在线小组来分享烦恼并获得支持。简意识到互联网最大的优势在于它消除了人与人之间的距离。)”可知，第一段主要讲的是互联网依托网络社群改变生活、慰藉人心，核心落脚于网络社群的价值。 25．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Jan, an English teacher in New York, US, suddenly fell seriously ill at 40 and quit her job.(美国纽约的一位英语教师简在 40 岁时突然身患重病并辞去了工作。)”可知，简不得不放弃工作是因为她患了重病。 26．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Jan realized the Internet’s greatest strength: it eliminates (清除) distance between people.(简意识到互联网最大的优势在于它消除了人与人之间的距离。)”可知，根据简的说法，互联网最大的优势之一是它有助于消除人与人之间的距离。 27．推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“For Jan, the Internet didn’t just improve her life — it sparked her desire to give back, showing its power to connect and inspire kindness.(对于简而言，互联网不仅改善了她的生活，还激发了她回馈社会的意愿，展现了其连接人心并激发善意的力量。)”可推知，从简的故事中我们可以得出互联网能够拉近人与人之间的距离并激发善良之心。 （本题10分）Parenting is not just about taking care of our children. In a time when things are always changing and people are living longer, most of us will, at some point, find ourselves taking care of our parents, just like we parent our children. Many of us, especially those who started a family later, will be looking after both our kids and parents at the same time. One moment we’re asking our children to eat vegetables instead of French fries, and the next, we’re telling our parents to choose vegetables over cake. The fast-moving technology has made everything much more complex. It leaves many older people confused and frustrated. For example, in recent years, I’ve seen friends rushing to help their parents with online banking, noisy fridge alarms, software, apps and phones that don’t work as they should, and many other tech problems. But studies show that always helping parents with these tech things might not be as good as we think. Trying to deal with new and confusing things makes the old brain work in new ways. A study from the University of Texas with over 200 elderly people found that those who used technology had better thinking and memory than those who didn’t. Even the stress from dealing with computers can be helpful as it makes our minds more active. My 84-year-old mother joined Instagram recently. She not only made her brain work better but also found a good way to stay in touch with her grandchildren. Being social is as important as trying new things. Research shows that social people are better at dealing with long-term health problems and usually have stronger immune systems. In fact, anyone over 50 should follow these simple rules: Try something new every day, take a 20-minute walk daily, socialize often, take senior multivitamins every day, and check the protein in meals. Maybe we can think of it as taking care of ourselves. 28．(2.5分)How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph? A．By telling a story. B．By quoting a specialist. C．By defining a concept. D．By making a comparison. 29．(2.5分)What’s the main benefit for old people who try new things? A．More memory techniques. B．Greater mental sharpness. C．Closer family connections. D．Stronger health awareness. 30．(2.5分)Which of the following is inappropriate for the aged parents? A．Learn to play computer games. B．Spend time exercising every day. C．Monitor the protein they take in. D．Stick to their established routines. 31．(2.5分)What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To advocate for senior tech independence. B．To compare parenting children and parents. C．To clarify the definition of parenting the old. D．To analyze social media’s impacts on seniors. 【答案】28．D 29．B 30．D 31．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了在照顾年迈父母时，鼓励他们尝试新事物、使用科技产品等有助于保持大脑活跃和身心健康，并给出了具体建议。 【详解】28．推理判断题。根据第一段“One moment we’re asking our children to eat vegetables instead of French fries, and the next, we’re telling our parents to choose vegetables over cake. (前一刻我们还在要求孩子吃蔬菜而不是薯条，下一刻我们就告诉父母选择蔬菜而不是蛋糕。)”可知，作者通过将照顾孩子和照顾父母进行类比来引出话题。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段“A study from the University of Texas with over 200 elderly people found that those who used technology had better thinking and memory than those who didn’t. (德克萨斯大学一项针对200多名老年人的研究发现，那些使用科技产品的人比不使用的人的思维和记忆力更好。)”可知，尝试新事物对老年人的主要好处是思维更敏锐。 30．推理判断题。根据第五段“In fact, anyone over 50 should follow these simple rules: Try something new every day, take a 20-minute walk daily, socialize often, take senior multivitamins every day, and check the protein in meals. (事实上，任何50岁以上的人都应该遵循这些简单的规则：每天尝试新事物，每天散步20分钟，经常社交，每天服用老年复合维生素，并检查餐食中的蛋白质。)”可知，作者建议老年人每天尝试新事物，因此坚持固有习惯是不合适的。 31．推理判断题。根据第三段“But studies show that always helping parents with these tech things might not be as good as we think. (但研究表明，总是帮父母解决这些科技问题可能并不像我们想的那么好。)”以及第四段“My 84-year-old mother joined Instagram recently. She not only made her brain work better but also found a good way to stay in touch with her grandchildren. (我84岁的母亲最近加入了Instagram。她不仅让大脑运转得更好，还找到了一个与孙辈保持联系的好方法。)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是倡导老年人科技独立。 （本题10分）For many birdwatchers, recording a species outside its normal range is the top prize. In the UK, the discoveries often make national headlines. But a new scourge (灾祸) is threatening to ruin the fun: AI slop. The rise of generative AI platforms such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini has led to a sharp increase in artificial and enhanced images of rare and celebrated birds across wildlife photography forums. Scientists are concerned that these images will damage the credibility of popular citizen-science platforms such as iNaturalist and Macaulay Library, which are routinely used in scientific research to monitor species’ habitat range. “My experience of looking at Facebook these days is that a huge volume of wildlife photos now are simply AI-generated imagery,” said Dr. Alexander Lees, an ecologist at Manchester Metropolitan University. “The idea that we could use those photos to help us understand where species are in space and time is very difficult.” Lees points to the example of a false sighting in central Brazil of a red-winged blackbird, which is usually found in North America. It was, in fact, an epaulet oriole — a common new world species — but the photographer had asked AI to make the picture “look better”, so parts of the red-winged blackbird were added. Citizen science organizations are working to understand the scale of the issue. On iNaturalist, just 1,400 of the platform’s 610m images have been flagged for AI use. From monitoring how plants and animals move in response to climate breakdown to recording species’ new behavior, dozens of discoveries have been made using citizen science. Tony Iwane, an iNaturalist director, appealed to users to be cautious. “The more we know about where species are, the better informed we can be as conservationists. But the information needs to be accurate.” 32．(2.5分)What phenomenon is highlighted in the first two paragraphs? A．Rise of AI-processed bird images. B．Posting AI-edited images on AI platforms. C．Recording a species outside its normal range. D．Emergence of false AI-generated information. 33．(2.5分)Which of the following does Dr. Alexander Lees intend to tell us? A．AI-generated wildlife photos can mislead people. B．Some enhanced birdwatching photos go unnoticed. C．Photographers have the duty to improve their pictures. D．The credibility of citizen-science platforms is doubted. 34．(2.5分)What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A．Citizen scientists enjoy sharing images of rare birds. B．Most of iNaturalist images are marked as AI-related. C．Citizen science contributes a lot to wildlife research. D．Using AI to record species’ new behavior is difficult. 35．(2.5分)What is the text mainly about? A．New ways to spot AI-generated wildlife pictures. B．Risks AI brings to citizen science bird-recording. C．The popularity of modern birdwatching activities. D．Major functions of wildlife photography forums. 【答案】32．A 33．A 34．C 35．B 【导语】主要介绍生成式AI加工鸟类图片泛滥，给公民科学平台鸟类记录带来风险，相关机构呼吁保证信息准确。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The rise of generative AI platforms such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini has led to a sharp increase in artificial and enhanced images of rare and celebrated birds across wildlife photography forums.(ChatGPT、谷歌Gemini等生成式人工智能平台兴起，野生动物摄影论坛上人造及经过加工的珍稀知名鸟类图片数量急剧增加。)”可知，文章前两段重点描述经过人工智能处理的鸟类图片大量涌现这一现象。 33．推理判断题。根据第三段中的““My experience of looking at Facebook these days is that a huge volume of wildlife photos now are simply AI-generated imagery,” said Dr. Alexander Lees, an ecologist at Manchester Metropolitan University. “The idea that we could use those photos to help us understand where species are in space and time is very difficult.” Lees points to the example of a false sighting in central Brazil of a red-winged blackbird, which is usually found in North America. It was, in fact, an epaulet oriole — a common new world species — but the photographer had asked AI to make the picture “look better”, so parts of the red-winged blackbird were added.(“我最近浏览脸书时发现，现在大量野生动物照片纯粹是AI生成的图像，”曼彻斯特城市大学的生态学家亚历山大·李斯博士说道。“想要依靠这些照片帮助我们了解物种在时空上的分布，是很难实现的。”利斯举了巴西中部一次误报目击红翅黑鹂的例子：这种鸟类通常栖息在北美洲。而那实际上是一只黄肩拟鹂 —— 一种常见的新大陆鸟类。只是拍摄者让人工智能把照片 “处理得更好看”，于是图片里被添加上了红翅黑鹂的部分特征。)”可知，利斯博士意在表明AI生成的野生动物照片会对人们造成误导。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“From monitoring how plants and animals move in response to climate breakdown to recording species’ new behavior, dozens of discoveries have been made using citizen science.(从监测动植物应对气候恶化的迁徙变化，到记录物种新行为，公民科学已经促成数十项研究发现。)”可知，公民科学对野生动物研究有着巨大贡献。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“But a new scourge (灾祸) is threatening to ruin the fun: AI slop. (但一种新的灾祸正有可能毁掉这份乐趣：劣质人工智能生成内容。)” 以及第二段“Scientists are concerned that these images will damage the credibility of popular citizen-science platforms such as iNaturalist and Macaulay Library, which are routinely used in scientific research to monitor species’ habitat range. (科学家担心这些图片会损害iNaturalist和麦考利图书馆这类热门公民科学平台的可信度，这些平台常被用于科学研究，监测物种的栖息地范围。)”可知，文章主要围绕人工智能给公民科学鸟类记录工作带来的风险展开。 （本题12.5分）How to Manage Your Cellular Balance (手机流量余额) on Vacation Packing for a vacation involves a lot of preparations. You double-check your flight times, confirm the hotel reservations, and make sure you have packed enough sunscreen. 36(2.5分) . When you are traveling, it is incredibly easy to burn through your cellular balance. Here are some effective ways to stretch your mobile balance while traveling. ● 37(2.5分) The absolute easiest way to stretch your mobile balance is to stop relying on cellular towers whenever possible. Most hotels, airports and coffee shops offer free Wi-Fi. You should treat these hotspots as your primary sources while you are away from home. Just remember to be smart about public networks. ● Download your essentials before you leave Navigation apps are essential when exploring an unfamiliar city, but keeping a live GPS map running for a long trip will absolutely consume your cellular data. 38(2.5分) . Therefore, while you are at home, download the offline map for your destination and shows you want to watch directly. ● Shut down background data consumers You might think you are conserving your battery simply by keeping your phone in the pocket, but your device is likely working behind your back. Your photo gallery might be automatically backing up your pictures to the cloud. Your social media apps might be updating your feed (推送). So before heading to the airport, set updates and cloud backups to Wi-Fi only. 39(2.5分) .● Use airplane mode strategically Airplane mode is not just for flying. 40(2.5分) . If you just want to use your phone as a camera, flip it into airplane mode. You can still turn your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth back on in airplane mode. This trick allows you to connect to a cafe network or listen to your wireless earbuds without accidentally turning your cellular data back on. A．Let Wi-Fi do the heavy lifting B．Access public networks with caution C．It is a requirement for all the passengers on board D．Besides, turn off background app refresh completely E．It is actually a fantastic tool for managing your cellular balance F．The same goes for streaming music or movies during a long ride G．But one detail that often gets overlooked is your mobile connection 【答案】36．G 37．A 38．F 39．D 40．E 【导语】文章主要介绍了在度假期间如何有效管理手机流量余额的几种方法，包括充分利用Wi-Fi、提前下载离线内容、关闭后台数据消耗以及策略性使用飞行模式等。 【详解】36．上文“Packing for a vacation involves a lot of preparations. You double-check your flight times, confirm the hotel reservations, and make sure you have packed enough sunscreen. (为度假收拾行李需要大量准备工作。你仔细核对航班时间，确认酒店预订，确保带够了防晒霜。)”列举了度假前的各种准备，下文“When you are traveling, it is incredibly easy to burn through your cellular balance. (当你旅行时，很容易就会耗尽你的手机流量。)”指出旅行中流量容易被消耗，G项“But one detail that often gets overlooked is your mobile connection(但有一个常常被忽视的细节就是你的手机网络连接)”中“But”表示转折，“one detail that often gets overlooked”与上文列举的详细准备形成对比，“your mobile connection”引出下文关于流量的话题。 37．该空为小标题，需概括本段主旨。下文“The absolute easiest way to stretch your mobile balance is to stop relying on cellular towers whenever possible. Most hotels, airports and coffee shops offer free Wi-Fi. You should treat these hotspots as your primary sources while you are away from home. (最简单的节省流量的方法是尽可能不依赖手机信号塔。大多数酒店、机场和咖啡店都提供免费Wi-Fi。你在外时应该把这些热点当作主要来源。)”强调利用Wi-Fi来节省流量，A项“Let Wi-Fi do the heavy lifting (让Wi-Fi来承担主要任务)”概括了本段核心。 38．上文“Navigation apps are essential when exploring an unfamiliar city, but keeping a live GPS map running for a long trip will absolutely consume your cellular data. (导航应用在探索陌生城市时必不可少，但长时间运行实时GPS地图肯定会消耗你的手机流量。)”说明GPS地图会消耗流量，下文“Therefore, while you are at home, download the offline map for your destination and shows you want to watch directly. (因此，当你在家时，下载目的地的离线地图和你想直接观看的节目。)”说明要提前下载离线内容，F项“The same goes for streaming music or movies during a long ride (长途旅行中在线听音乐或看电影也是如此)”用“The same goes for”表示同样的道理，与上文形成类比，引出下文的下载建议。 39．上文“So before heading to the airport, set updates and cloud backups to Wi-Fi only. (所以在去机场之前，将更新和云备份设置为仅限Wi-Fi。)”提到了一种节省流量的操作，D项“Besides, turn off background app refresh completely (此外，完全关闭后台应用刷新)”中“Besides”表示递进，进一步补充关闭后台数据的方法，符合本段“Shut down background data consumers (关闭后台数据消耗)”的主题。 40．上文“Airplane mode is not just for flying. (飞行模式不仅仅用于飞行。)”否定了飞行模式的单一用途，下文“If you just want to use your phone as a camera, flip it into airplane mode. You can still turn your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth back on in airplane mode. (如果你只想用手机当相机，就切换到飞行模式。在飞行模式下你仍然可以打开Wi-Fi和蓝牙。)”具体说明飞行模式管理流量的用法，E项“It is actually a fantastic tool for managing your cellular balance (它实际上是管理手机流量的绝佳工具)”中“actually”与上文“not just”呼应，概括了飞行模式在流量管理中的作用。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Hussam Al-Attar, a 15-year-old boy in Gaza, is able to build a device to provide electricity for the lights of the tent he is staying in with his family. Al-Attar got two fans at a market and used them to create small wind turbines (涡轮机) to produce electricity. His 41 led others in the camp where he stayed to start calling him the “Newton of Gaza”.

In the documentary, Incredible Encounter: When Socrates Met Confucius, 56(1.5分) joint production of China, Greece and the United Kingdom, this seemingly 57(1.5分) (possible) scene has been brought to life using AI technology. 58(1.5分) a 20-member crew working an entire year and interviewing over 30 scholars, the documentary records the journey to bring the two intellectual giants together across time and space, employing AI to generate their dialogue. In the documentary, Socrates and Confucius are shown 59(1.5分) (sit) together on the steps of an ancient Greek building or strolling through an alley between Chinese walls. Their discussions range 60(1.5分) (wide) from their lifelong pursuits to the essence of education. Even after 2,500 years, the documentary reflects how the two giants continue to influence people today, especially the younger generation. In one sequence, a headmaster in Northern Ireland uses Socrates’ ideas 61(1.5分) (help) boys cope with stress. In another, children at a primary school in Nanjing are learning The Analects of Confucius. Explaining the intention behind these sequences, 62(1.5分) (produce) Qiu Yuanyuan says: “We have always believed that ancient wisdom should never be abstract concepts 63(1.5分) (store) on high shelves. Rather, we must let wisdom 64(1.5分) lasts millennia truly enter contemporary life, creating emotional and intellectual connection with today’s audiences.” Till now, the videos 65(1.5分) (release) in seven languages, and the team hopes to develop the series further. 【答案】 56．a 57．impossible 58．With 59．sitting 60．widely 61．to help 62．producer 63．stored 64．which/that 65．have been released 【导语】本文是主要介绍了纪录片《不可思议的相遇：当苏格拉底遇见孔子》由中国、希腊和英国联合制作，借助人工智能技术让苏格拉底与孔子跨越时空同框对话，并让延续千年的古老智慧走进当代生活。 【详解】56．考查冠词。句意：在纪录片《不可思议的相遇：当苏格拉底遇见孔子》中，这部由中国、希腊和英国联合制作的影片，把这个看似不可能的场景借助人工智能技术呈现得鲜活起来。joint production在这里是可数名词单数，此处表示“一部（联合制作的）影片”，为泛指，且joint是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。 57．考查形容词。句意：在纪录片《不可思议的相遇：当苏格拉底遇见孔子》中，这部由中国、希腊和英国联合制作的影片，把这个看似不可能的场景借助人工智能技术呈现得鲜活起来。空前的seemingly是副词，修饰其后的形容词；苏格拉底与孔子相隔两千多年，两人坐在一起对话在现实中是不可能发生的，只能借助人工智能技术呈现，所以此处要用possible的反义词impossible，表示“不可能的”。 58．考查介词。句意：带着一支工作了整整一年、采访了30多位学者的20人团队，这部纪录片记录了让这两位思想巨擘跨越时空相聚的过程，并运用人工智能来生成他们的对话。主句的谓语是records，空格所在部分不是句子，而是“with＋宾语（a 20-member crew）＋现在分词（working…, interviewing…）”构成的with复合结构，在句中作伴随状语；该结构位于句首，首字母要大写。 59．考查非谓语动词。句意：在这部纪录片中，苏格拉底和孔子被呈现为一起坐在一座古希腊建筑的台阶上，或是漫步在中国城墙之间的小巷里。show sb doing sth表示“展示某人正在做某事”，改为被动语态后为sb be shown doing sth，此处用sitting与后面的strolling 并列，作主语补足语。 60．考查副词。句意：他们的讨论范围广泛，从他们毕生的追求到教育的本质。此处修饰谓语动词range，表示“讨论的范围广泛”，要用wide的副词形式widely。 61．考查非谓语动词。句意：在一个片段中，北爱尔兰的一位校长运用苏格拉底的思想来帮助男孩们应对压力。校长运用苏格拉底的思想的目的是帮助男孩们应对压力，所以用动词不定式作目的状语。 62．考查名词。句意：在解释这些片段背后的用意时，制片人邱媛媛说：“我们一直认为，古老的智慧绝不应是被束之高阁的抽象概念。相反，我们必须让延续千年的智慧真正进入当代生活，与今天的观众建立起情感和思想上的连接。”此处需要一个表示身份的名词作 Qiu Yuanyuan的同位语，produce表示“制作”，其表示人的名词形式为 producer，意为“制片人”。 63．考查非谓语动词。句意：我们一直认为，古老的智慧绝不应是被束之高阁的抽象概念。concepts与store之间是逻辑上的被动关系，所以用过去分词短语作后置定语。 64．考查定语从句。句意：相反，我们必须让延续千年的智慧真正进入当代生活，与今天的观众建立起情感和思想上的连接。先行词wisdom指物，其后的定语从句lasts millennia缺少主语，所以用关系代词that/which引导定语从句。 65．考查时态和语态。句意：到目前为止，这些视频已以七种语言发布，团队希望把这套系列继续做下去。时间状语Till now表示“到目前为止”，强调从过去持续到现在，句子要用现在完成时；主语the videos与release之间是被动关系，且主语为复数，所以谓语用have been released。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，你所在的学校近期对中学生使用搜题软件的情况进行了调查研究。请你为校英文报写一篇文章，内容包括： 1. 简要描述调查结果； 2.你对“搜题软件”的看法及理由。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Students’ Use of Homework-Help Apps _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Students’ Use of Homework-Help Apps Recently a survey has been conducted concerning students’ use of homework-help apps. The percentage of students who use the apps to check answers to their exercises and rely on them to get help with their daily homework is respectively 45% and 35%.

For months, he had secretly been working on a project he called “Project GreenHand” — a small, solar-powered robot designed to help water the plants and check soil wetness in the school’s community garden. He believed it could make a real difference. However, there was a problem. His best friend, Sam, was also entering the fair with a flashy drone (无人机) that could take overhead photos. Everyone thought Sam would win easily. When Sam saw Leo’s simple robot, he laughed. “Come on, Leo, that looks like a shoebox with wheels. Build something cooler.” Leo felt his face burn with embarrassment. He looked down at his creation — it wasn’t beautiful, but every wire and sensor was placed with care. He remembered the hours spent studying solar energy and coding. However, comparing his plain robot to Sam’s high-tech drone, Leo realized a cruel truth: in a contest of “coolness”, practical use might not matter. If the judges found it boring, all his efforts would be a joke. Leo’s heart sank. Maybe Sam was right. Maybe his project was too simple to win. The next day, Leo decided to give up. He put “Project GreenHand” in a box and pushed it to the back of his closet (壁橱). When the day of the fair arrived, Leo walked through the gym, feeling empty. He saw Sam’s drone flying high, attracting a crowd of cheering students. Just then, he noticed Mr. Green, a school gardener sitting alone on a bench near the garden, looking tired. Leo walked over. “Mr. Green, are you okay?” he asked. The old man sighed. “It’s just so much work, Leo. My back is hurting, and the garden is so big. I wish I had a helper.” A sudden thought struck Leo. He didn’t need a big fair to prove his idea was good. He needed to show it could help. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Leo took out his robot and brought it straight to the garden. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, the news of “Project GreenHand” spread across the school. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】(one possible version) Leo took out his robot and brought it straight to the garden. He quickly switched on the robot, whose solar panels caught the sunlight and started to work steadily. Moving slowly and gently, the robot precisely checked soil wetness and watered the dry plants one by one. Seeing the simple robot do all the dull garden work, Mr. Green’s face broke into a bright smile. He sighed with relief, saying it was exactly the helper he had long wished for. A warm sense of pride filled Leo’s heart, making him realize the true value of his creation. Soon, the news of “Project GreenHand” spread across the school. Crowds of students came to watch the practical robot work in the garden, and even Sam was astonished by its great performance. At the Science Fair, Leo didn’t win the first prize, but he won a special Community Impact Award. The headmaster spoke highly of his work, stating that the essence of science is solving real-life problems. Leo finally understood that cool high-tech devices are never superior to creations that bring warmth and convenience to life. 【导语】 本文以人物为线索展开。利奥痴迷机器人，悄悄研制出可为社区花园浇水的太阳能机器人“绿手”。遭好友嘲笑后他一度灰心弃赛，却在科学博览会当天偶遇疲惫的园丁，顿悟实用价值远胜虚名，决心让发明真正帮到人。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段句首可知，第一段可以描写利奥把机器人带到花园并启动，格林先生目睹机器人大幅减轻园艺劳作后的欣慰反应，最后写利奥内心的自豪，体会发明的意义。 ②由第二段句首可知，第二段可以描写机器人的事迹在校内传开，同学们纷纷前来围观，再介绍科学博览会的结果，利奥虽未拿一等奖却斩获社区影响力特别奖；借校长发言点明科学的核心是解决生活实际问题，结尾升华主旨：能给生活带去温暖便利的发明远比炫酷高科技更珍贵。 2. 续写线索：拿出园艺机器人带到花园 —— 机器人自动浇灌绿植 —— 格林先生十分欣慰，认可这个帮手 —— 利奥心生自豪感 —— 发明项目在校内传开，众人围观赞叹 —— 科技展收获特色奖项，领悟科学真正的价值 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①启动：switch on →turn on/power up ②解决：solve → address/tackle 情绪类 ①惊讶的：astonished → amazed/shocked ②宽慰：relief → ease/comfort 【点睛】【高分句型1】He quickly switched on the robot, whose solar panels caught the sunlight and started to work steadily.

They’re Moonwalkers, battery-powered shoes with wheels. They are billed as “the world’s fastest shoes”. How do Moonwalkers work? Fix Moonwalkers to your shoes, power them on, and begin walking. The artificial intelligence software driving Moonwalkers measures and adjusts (调整) on-the-fly to both the terrain (地形) you’re on and the way you walk, providing safe and enjoyable walking experience. Moonwalkers move only when you do. They sense when you’re speeding up or slowing down. LOCK mode allows you to go up and down stairs confidently. Why do you choose Moonwalkers? ·Walk at the speed of a run: Get to where you’re going in less than half the time it normally takes. With a top speed of 7 mph, Moonwalkers improve every step. ·Expand (扩大) your footprint: Moonwalkers make walking many city blocks, even further, no sweat. ·Less stress: Less walking equals less stress on your body. Moonwalkers feature a user-friendly system that helps you naturally maintain mobility and balance. ·Freedom to go anywhere: Tested on dirt and much more, Moonwalkers can handle our current city and allow you to walk a hill like it’s nothing. Also, Moonwalkers can survive walking through rain. Despite their wide uses, they are not roller skates, so they do not freewheel, ever. What is the maximum user weight?

We can shop without waiting in lines or carrying cash, get the latest information from large databases, and download software, documents, and images whenever we need them. But the Internet offers far more than convenience — it transforms lives through online communities and social networks.​ Jan, an English teacher in New York, US, suddenly fell seriously ill at 40 and quit her job. Stuck at home with only her computer, she soon found surfing the Internet eased her loneliness and boredom. She enjoyed music, films, games, and virtual exploration, and joined an online group to share troubles and get support. Jan realized the Internet’s greatest strength: it eliminates (清除) distance between people.​ Inspired by online connections, Jan started an IT club to teach older adults computer and Internet skills. She and friends organize events, raise funds for teachers, and help many in need. A 59-year-old man learned to apply for jobs online and found great work, letting his daughter focus on university.

In a time when things are always changing and people are living longer, most of us will, at some point, find ourselves taking care of our parents, just like we parent our children. Many of us, especially those who started a family later, will be looking after both our kids and parents at the same time. One moment we’re asking our children to eat vegetables instead of French fries, and the next, we’re telling our parents to choose vegetables over cake. The fast-moving technology has made everything much more complex. It leaves many older people confused and frustrated. For example, in recent years, I’ve seen friends rushing to help their parents with online banking, noisy fridge alarms, software, apps and phones that don’t work as they should, and many other tech problems. But studies show that always helping parents with these tech things might not be as good as we think. Trying to deal with new and confusing things makes the old brain work in new ways. A study from the University of Texas with over 200 elderly people found that those who used technology had better thinking and memory than those who didn’t. Even the stress from dealing with computers can be helpful as it makes our minds more active. My 84-year-old mother joined Instagram recently. She not only made her brain work better but also found a good way to stay in touch with her grandchildren. Being social is as important as trying new things. Research shows that social people are better at dealing with long-term health problems and usually have stronger immune systems. In fact, anyone over 50 should follow these simple rules: Try something new every day, take a 20-minute walk daily, socialize often, take senior multivitamins every day, and check the protein in meals. Maybe we can think of it as taking care of ourselves. 28．(2.5分)How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph? A．By telling a story. B．By quoting a specialist. C．By defining a concept. D．By making a comparison. 29．(2.5分)What’s the main benefit for old people who try new things? A．More memory techniques. B．Greater mental sharpness. C．Closer family connections. D．Stronger health awareness. 30．(2.5分)Which of the following is inappropriate for the aged parents? A．Learn to play computer games. B．Spend time exercising every day. C．Monitor the protein they take in. D．Stick to their established routines. 31．(2.5分)What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To advocate for senior tech independence. B．To compare parenting children and parents. C．To clarify the definition of parenting the old. D．To analyze social media’s impacts on seniors. （本题10分）For many birdwatchers, recording a species outside its normal range is the top prize. In the UK, the discoveries often make national headlines. But a new scourge (灾祸) is threatening to ruin the fun: AI slop. The rise of generative AI platforms such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini has led to a sharp increase in artificial and enhanced images of rare and celebrated birds across wildlife photography forums. Scientists are concerned that these images will damage the credibility of popular citizen-science platforms such as iNaturalist and Macaulay Library, which are routinely used in scientific research to monitor species’ habitat range. “My experience of looking at Facebook these days is that a huge volume of wildlife photos now are simply AI-generated imagery,” said Dr. Alexander Lees, an ecologist at Manchester Metropolitan University. “The idea that we could use those photos to help us understand where species are in space and time is very difficult.” Lees points to the example of a false sighting in central Brazil of a red-winged blackbird, which is usually found in North America. It was, in fact, an epaulet oriole — a common new world species — but the photographer had asked AI to make the picture “look better”, so parts of the red-winged blackbird were added. Citizen science organizations are working to understand the scale of the issue. On iNaturalist, just 1,400 of the platform’s 610m images have been flagged for AI use. From monitoring how plants and animals move in response to climate breakdown to recording species’ new behavior, dozens of discoveries have been made using citizen science. Tony Iwane, an iNaturalist director, appealed to users to be cautious. “The more we know about where species are, the better informed we can be as conservationists. But the information needs to be accurate.” 32．(2.5分)What phenomenon is highlighted in the first two paragraphs? A．Rise of AI-processed bird images. B．Posting AI-edited images on AI platforms. C．Recording a species outside its normal range. D．Emergence of false AI-generated information. 33．(2.5分)Which of the following does Dr. Alexander Lees intend to tell us? A．AI-generated wildlife photos can mislead people. B．Some enhanced birdwatching photos go unnoticed. C．Photographers have the duty to improve their pictures. D．The credibility of citizen-science platforms is doubted. 34．(2.5分)What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A．Citizen scientists enjoy sharing images of rare birds. B．Most of iNaturalist images are marked as AI-related. C．Citizen science contributes a lot to wildlife research. D．Using AI to record species’ new behavior is difficult. 35．(2.5分)What is the text mainly about? A．New ways to spot AI-generated wildlife pictures. B．Risks AI brings to citizen science bird-recording. C．The popularity of modern birdwatching activities. D．Major functions of wildlife photography forums. （本题12.5分）How to Manage Your Cellular Balance (手机流量余额) on Vacation Packing for a vacation involves a lot of preparations.

Leo, a quiet and thoughtful boy, had a deep passion for robotics. For months, he had secretly been working on a project he called “Project GreenHand” — a small, solar-powered robot designed to help water the plants and check soil wetness in the school’s community garden. He believed it could make a real difference. However, there was a problem. His best friend, Sam, was also entering the fair with a flashy drone (无人机) that could take overhead photos. Everyone thought Sam would win easily. When Sam saw Leo’s simple robot, he laughed. “Come on, Leo, that looks like a shoebox with wheels. Build something cooler.” Leo felt his face burn with embarrassment. He looked down at his creation — it wasn’t beautiful, but every wire and sensor was placed with care. He remembered the hours spent studying solar energy and coding. However, comparing his plain robot to Sam’s high-tech drone, Leo realized a cruel truth: in a contest of “coolness”, practical use might not matter. If the judges found it boring, all his efforts would be a joke. Leo’s heart sank. Maybe Sam was right. Maybe his project was too simple to win. The next day, Leo decided to give up. He put “Project GreenHand” in a box and pushed it to the back of his closet (壁橱). When the day of the fair arrived, Leo walked through the gym, feeling empty. He saw Sam’s drone flying high, attracting a crowd of cheering students. Just then, he noticed Mr. Green, a school gardener sitting alone on a bench near the garden, looking tired. Leo walked over. “Mr. Green, are you okay?” he asked. The old man sighed. “It’s just so much work, Leo. My back is hurting, and the garden is so big. I wish I had a helper.” A sudden thought struck Leo. He didn’t need a big fair to prove his idea was good. He needed to show it could help. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Leo took out his robot and brought it straight to the garden. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, the news of “Project GreenHand” spread across the school. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Excuse me, where can I find the books on chinese poetry?

Like a leaf, the surface of the house collect sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produced electricity and even create fresh air for the home. The root of the house is deep under the ground. IT uses the soil to control the homes temperature. The second one is the lizard home. Like a lizard, changing colors with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it's in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect IT from strong heat. During the dark days, IT turns White and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy. The last one is the chimney house. In such a house, a chimney can be a useful air conditioner, because IT is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney.
