One rainy Tuesday,I sat by the library window and noticed an elderly man on a wooden bench outside,staring silently at the falling rain.Day after day,I saw him there.We never spoke,but I began to feel a strange 14 to him.Maybe it was because he looked as lonely and quiet as I felt. One afternoon,a sudden gust of wind blew my notebook pages everywhere.I rushed outside to pick them up.Suddenly,a pair of worn shoes appeared before my eyes.The man from the bench was 15 me.He handed me a crumpled piece of paper. "This drawing fell out,"he said,his voice rough but surprisingly kind. It was my detailed drawing of the old oak tree in the schoolyard,its wide branches reaching toward the sky "You have a good eye,"he smiled."I'm Arthur,by the way." T'mLeo,”I replied.. Arthur told me he used to be a gardener."That oak tree stands alone,yet it never stops reaching toward the light,"he said."plants are very much like people,Leo.Even during the darkest storms,,sometimes they just need a little_l6 to bloom(绽放)，” That short conversation 17 everything.The next day,I noticed a girl struggling to carry a heavy box of books near the entrance.Remembering Arthur's words about being the sunlight,I walked over 18 and asked,"Need a hand?" She looked up,surprised and then smiled brightly."That would be great.Thanks!" 2/1n As we walked together,I realized the wall I had built around myself was slowly crumbling ()I wasn't an outsider anymore.I was just a boy who had finally decided to 19 the silence. When I looked out of the window later that afternoon,Arthur was gone.But on the bench,he had left a small,perfect yellow flower.It wasn't just a flower;it was a reminder that 20 is the universal language that connects us all,even on the rainiest days. 13.A.lost B.safe C.bored D.certain 14.A.reaction B.responsibility C.connection D.belonging 15.A.watching B.helping C.reminding D.praising 16.A.time B.water C.space D.sunlight 17.A.proved B.changed C.explained D.confused 18.A.secretly B.proudly C.curiously D.bravely 19.A.hide B.accept C.break D.enjoy 20.A.kindness B.honesty C.courage D.patience 三、阅读选择 A 阅读下列发明的介绍，请根据人物需求匹配最适合他们的发明，并将发明对应的选项 (A、B、C、D)填在相应位置上，其中一个选项为多余选项。 Little Inventions Around Us A.Cool Backpack B.Smart Neck Fan If you often ride a bike at night,this This is a great invention for hot summer days. backpack is perfect for you.It has bright LED You can hang this fan around your neck like lights on the back.Drivers can see you easily headphones.You don't need to hold it.It has two in the dark.You can also charge your phone small fans to blow cool air to your face.It's perfect with it when you are outside.It's very cool and when your hands are busy. safe.

B It was a cold and cloudy afternoon at the end of winter.I put on my hockey pads, picked up my bag and ran towards the car.My heart was racing because I was getting ready to try out for the Boston Junior Team. "Dad,"as we drove,I said,"I'm really nervous.Will I make it?" "You'll do fine,Emily,"he said to me comfortingly."I know what kind of player you are.No matter what,give your all." “OK,”I answered. When I arrived at the rink ()I greeted some friends who were also trying out.I tied my skates and carefully stepped out onto the ice.After a while,we were divided into two teams,and the match started.I tried to stay focused but still felt nervous.I messed up a few times.Sometimes I passed too early,took a bad shot,or didn't make a play I probably should have.I felt like my skates had minds of their own,but I remembered what my dad said:I should give my all.I kept trying to make the best play possible.My dad's words pushed me to keep going. After the match,some players were pleased,while others seemed to be in the same situation as me,feeling like their playing was awful.I got home and told my parents that I didn't think I would make the team,and I went to sleep without dinner. As I was eating breakfast the next morning,my mother,to my surprise,walked into the kitchen with a wide smile on her face. "The coach just emailed me.You've made it!"she said excitedly. I was so relieved(t如释重负)and shocked at the same time.I got up and hugged her, then read the email for myself,still unable to believe it was true. That day,I realized that I may not be the most talented person there,but if I try my hardest,I can do anything. 24.How did the writer feel before the match started? A.Confident. B.Excited. C.Nervous.

In the marvel comics and movies,millionaire Tony Stark wears a red and gold suit and becomes Iron Man.The suit provides superhuman strength,protection against most attacks,the power of flight,and much more. Iron Man is just a story.But robotic suits are not.Engineers call Iron Man them exoskeletons(外骨骼).They don't look as cool as Tony Stark's Iron Man suits.They typically look like a backpack.But they have changed the lives of many people with injuries or illnesses that affect movement.A disease had paralyzed Stacey Kozel and she could not walk anymore.But in 2016,she used an exoskeleton to go hiking.Also,people who do tiring or repetitive jobs,like moving heavy boxes in a warehouse,.sometimes use exoskeletons to lessen the load(减轻负荷)， You can probably think of a time when you wished you could lift more,jump higher, or run faster.Today's exoskeletons are expensive.They need to be charged (regularly and can usually help people to do only one type of movement (for example,lifting or walking).But in the future,things might be different. Brendan Quinlivan works on exoskeletons at Harvard University.He says that five 5/10 years in the future,a hard exoskeleton could really help you.He says it might allow you to flip over a car or pick up a big tree trunk.You could become a lot like Iron Man That would be cool.But some people worry that the technology could divide humanity. In 2008,new swimsuits helped swimmers go faster than ever before.But swimmers couldn't compete fairly without the latest suit technology.So the International Swimming Federation banned (the suits.People who can afford exoskeletons will be stronger and faster than those who cannot.They'd be able to work faster and achieve more than those without suits.We could end up with two classes of humanity:the super humans and everybody else.That wouldn't be fair. But life already isn't fair.Plenty of people have advantages over others thanks to their wealth,health,or strength.Right now,exoskeletons are helping to even the playing field for people with disabilities.That's a great thing.Also,people could use their unfair advantage to help or protect others.For example,rescue workers could move heavy debris (碎片) What do you think?If we ever have Iron Man suits,will they harm or benefit humanity? What would you use an Iron Man suit for? 27.According to the passage,what can we learn? A.Exoskeletons push labor workers to move heavy items B.The idea of creating exoskeletons comes from Iron Man. C.Exoskeletons can help disabled people to stand and walk. D.The price of future exoskeletons is likely to be even higher. 28.The writer mentions"swimsuits"to show that A.every swimmer needs such suits to compete fairly B.the new technology could help swimmers go faster C.the new technology could make the competition unfair D.banning the high-tech swimsuits is a right decision to make 29.What is the writer's main purpose of writing this passage? A.To tell us the benefits and problems of using exoskeletons. B.To show us the various forms of unfairness that exist in the society. C.To predict what the future technology will be like in daily life and work. 6/10 D.To encourage us to use different types of exoskeletons more often in practice. D No question is too small when Kayla Chege,a high school student in Kansas,uses artificial intelligence(AD).She turns to AI for guidance on everything from back-to-school shopping to her birthday party planning.While you might think of AI as a homework helper for students,.it is increasingly(渐增地)becoming a digital companion(陪伴)for many of them-offering not just answers,but also advice,emotional-support,and friendship. In a new study from Common Sense Media,a group that studies the healthy use of screens and digital media,researchers surveyed more than 1,000 teens in the US.The results show that over 70%of the teens have ever used AI as a companion.About one in three teens have used them for social interactions (like emotional support or friendships,and they find these conversations with AI as satisfying as,or even more satisfying than,those with real-life friends.Despite half of the teens distrusting AI's advice, one-third have discussed serious matters with it instead of with people. Those findings are worrisome,says Michael Robb,the study's lead author.He points out that rapidly (growing Al.with few controls,is becoming as integrated with teenagers as smartphones and social media are.That means AI is no longer just a tool but is already becoming a necessary part of teens'lives Why are so many teenagers turning to AI for companionship?This is mainly because AI could offer real benefits that meet their needs.AI friends can be personalized with different characteristics,offering conversations that feel human-like and giving emotional support.Talking to AI makes teens feel heard and understood,giving them a strong sense of comfort.As some teens say,it's because AI "is always there for you","never gets bored with you'”and“never judges you.” While the idea of an always-available friend sounds interesting,educators and researchers worry that relying (too much on AI could have harmful effects on teenagers.Teenage years are an important time for developing a strong sense ofself as well as social abilities.If teens always turn to AI for advice,agreement and comfort,they may miss chances to think on their own,learn how to deal with disagreements and understand 7/10 others'emotions.This could finally weaken their ability to form and keep real-life friendships.Moreover,AI may sometimes share misleading information or offer poor advice,which can be risky for young users. As more teens consider AI as a companion,Robb warns that it should be a wake-up call for parents,teachers,and the government;that is,there could be huge risks when choosing AI for companionship over real-life friends. 30.Why does the writer use the example of Kayla Chege in Paragraph 1? A.To lead into a topic. B.To explain an idea. C.To stress a difference. D.To suggest a solution. 31.The underlined words"integrated with"in Paragraph 3 probably mean A.really harmful to B.strongly doubted by C.highly encouraging for D.closely connected to 32.What can we learn from the passage? A.Misusing AI may lead to a loss of privacy. B.Most teens choose AI companions over real people. C.Overusing AI may cause teens to fail socially in real life D.Teens become less satisfied with themselves when using AI. 33.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.AI:The Best Friend for Teens B.AI Friends:Promise or Problem C.AI:What Can Teens Leam from it D.AI Friends:Risking a Lot for Nothing 四、阅读表达 Teenagers are learning new ways to communicate every day.It's important for them to have opportunities to meet and connect with new people..Online networking(线上社交)， which is very popular among teens today,creates quick and shallow (connections. On the other hand,offline networking,which means talking face-to-face and building relationships in person,helps create deeper connections.Teens need to practice more offline networking because it will help them become more confident communicators in person. In 2019,a survey of nearly 7,000 teens was condueted by three Swiss researchers. They found that teens were spending too much time on social networking sites.They 8/10 suggested that teens should spend more time with people in real life.This can help them feel better about themselves and happier,and it also gives them a chance to share happiness with others.In other words,offline networking seems to actually improve a teen's emotional health. Face-to-face communication also helps teens learn how to understand others beiter. Talking in person is different from texting or posting online.Being face-to-face requires someone to think and respond quickly-without the option to delete (their words. A lot of communication is nonverbal(非语言的)，like facial expressions,,gestures,and tone of voice.Teens need in-person interactions so they can learn to read these nonverbal signals,which can sometimes be even more important than the words being spoken.Soon, teens will enter the job market,meaning they will need to understand both verbal and nonverbal cues (in face-to-face interactions in various situations. Some studies show that the Internet can also be beneficial for social interactions.It helps teens stay connected with family and friends who live far away and can improve community communication.For example,teens might use social media to organize events or share information about activities.However,many researchers agree that too much Internet use can result in fewer meaningful face-to-face interactions. In conclusion,while the Internet offers valuable ways to connect,it's important for teenagers to maintain face-to-face communication with family and friends.This can not only improve their well-being but also prepare them for the future.Balancing online and offline communication is key to building strong relationships and a healthy social life. 34.What does offline networking mean? 35.What did the researchers suggest to the teens? 36.How does face-to-face communication help teens prepare for the future? 37.Which do you prefer,online networking or offline networking?Why?(Please give two reasons) 五、书面表达（请从两个题目中任选一题作答，作答时不得使用本试卷中出现的素材。） 38.根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作。请不要写出你的校名 和姓名。 ①畅销小说《奇迹男孩》中有这样一句话：“When given the choice between being right or being kind,choose kind.”友善能融化隔阂的坚冰，搭建理解的桥梁。一个善意的 举动，足以点亮他人的世界，也在自己心中播下温暖的种子。请你谈谈你对他人表达 善意的一次经历，你做了什么？结果如何？以及你从这次经历中学到了什么？ 提示词语：help,share,understand,closer 提示问题： What was your experience of showing kindness?Please describe it. ● What have you learnt from this experience? ②我校科技节即将到来，学校英文刊物现正开展以“The Key Quality of a Successful Inventor”为主题的征文活动。假如你是李华，请你写一篇短文投稿，谈谈你认为一 个成功的发明家最重要的品质是什么，并举例说明你的观点。 提示词语：important,curious,creative,persistent,solve,achieve 提示问题： What do you think is the most important quality in a successful inventor?
