Should we say please and thank you to chatbots? Here’s what four kids had to say about it. What do you think? Aubrey Lamirault, 11 Being polite isn’t just about being well-mannered. It can also lead to better results. AI systems learn from interacting with people. This means a person’s behavior influences AI’s responses. Using polite language in your prompts (提示语) is a good idea. It can lead to better information with fewer errors. Hanming Wang, 10 AI doesn’t have feelings. It’s just a tool, like a computer. Do you say thank you to your computer after you use it? Sometimes, being less polite means being more honest. You can say exactly what you mean. Too many polite words can confuse AI. Someone might use AI to edit a paragraph with a lot of errors. But if they say “Could you please make some small adjustments?”, it might make only tiny changes. In this example, being too polite hides how big the problems are. Ethan Yu, 12 Our world needs more kindness. Being kind, even to AI, strengthens good habits, because being polite to AI can help us become more thoughtful. It’s a small choice, but it can make a big difference. Of course, kind words work best when they are also clear enough to be understood. Asha Curley, 11 AI lets people be more efficient. But does AI really need to see the words please or thank you to give a response? No. You don’t have to be polite to AI, but you shouldn’t be rude, either. Just focus on being brief and clear. This is good practice in business and technology. Being polite to living creatures is important. 1. What can polite prompts bring to AI according to Aubrey Lamirault? A. Clear responses.   B. A drop in mistakes. C. Honest information.   D. A trend toward being brief. 2. Who thinks that being overly polite to AI may downplay how serious a problem is? A. Aubrey Lamirault.  B. Hanming Wang.  C. Ethan Yu.  D. Asha Curley. 3. What do the four kids share in their views on talking to AI? A. They see AI as a lifeless tool needing no feelings. B. They say politeness shapes how people act in real life. C. They hold that kindness to machines reaches other people. D. They agree how we phrase requests affects AI’s responses. B When Bethany Van Meter first saw a photo of a dog named River, her heart was deeply touched. River was a homeless dog who had lost both eyes due to a serious infection. Though he was suffering, something about him moved Bethany. She and her husband had over 20 years of experience rescuing animals. So they adopted River officially on February 27, 2021. At first, life without sight was a challenge for him, but he proved to be very smart. He used his other senses to understand the world. The couple walked him around the house and yard until he memorized the layout. Soon, River settled into their home, even finding his favorite spot on the couch. Bethany adored his gentle nature. Bethany began taking River into the community. Many people were doubtful about the dog and unsure how to react to a blind dog. However, once they spent time with River and felt his warmth, their opinions changed completely. Bethany realized that River had a special power to teach kindness and acceptance. Inspired by this, she began sharing his story online as if River were speaking himself. The response was prodigious, leading her to write and publish a children’s book titled I See With My Heart. The book quickly became a hit. Determined to spread River’s message, Bethany organized school visits where she read the book and introduced River to students. She hoped to plant seeds of empathy and kindness early on. The results were remarkable — children who were once afraid of dogs grew comfortable around River, and many left feeling more accepting and joyful. Over the past three years, River has visited more than 100 schools and completed over 200 readings nationwide. Part of the money from book sales supports therapy (治疗) dogs in schools to help students feel calm and confident. Bethany believes River teaches children empathy, bravery, and the importance of not judging by appearances. Most importantly, River shows that love can help anyone overcome obstacles. Thanks to Bethany’s care, River is not only surviving but truly thriving (茁壮成长), touching hearts wherever he goes. 4. Why did Bethany decide to adopt River? A. She wanted to write a book about him. B. She was attracted by River’s cool appearance. C. She had rich experience in rescuing animals. D. She thought River could help kids learn empathy. 5. What does the underlined word “prodigious” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Amazing.  B. Immediate.  C. Mixed.  D. Negative. 6. What can we infer about River’s school visits from paragraph 4? A. They are supported by most schools across the country. B. They are aimed at teaching students how to protect animals. C. They focus on showing students the hardships of River’s life. D. They have helped kids develop greater emotional understanding. 7. What message does the story of River mainly convey? A. Animals are smart and have strong survival abilities. B. Love and acceptance can help overcome difficulties. C. School education should include more pet activities. D. Blind animals deserve more care than normal ones. C A quiet change is happening in home decoration. Instead of wood or gas, a new product called Pyrox finds its magic in water. Unlike traditional fireplaces, Pyrox focuses on creating a visual experience rather than providing heat. It offers the charm of fire without smoke, danger, or safety worries. At first glance, Pyrox is a smooth, modern decoration that fits any room. When you press a button, it produces a “flame” that looks real. This fire is an illusion (幻觉) created by an ultrasonic (超声波) system. It turns water into a fine mist. Special engineering controls the air to shape this mist as it rises, copying the movement of real fire. Colored lights then shine through the steam, giving it a warm appearance while staying cool to the touch. The creators call this effect “cold flames.” What makes this design striking is its absolute safety. Because there is no smoke, ash, or bad smell, it is completely safe for families with children or pets. Pyrox changes the idea of a fireplace from a heating tool to a piece of art. It is very easy to use: just add water, turn it on, and choose a color. The device offers seven color choices, from warm yellow to cool blue. According to the makers, one tank of water lasts up to 30 hours on a low setting. For safety, it shuts off automatically when the water is low. Since it needs no installation (安装), Pyrox is perfect for apartments or offices. It provides a peaceful center of attention wherever it is placed. Unlike many smart devices, it does not require a phone app or WiFi. Its controls are physical and simple, making it easy to operate. In a world full of screens, Pyrox offers a different kind of focus. It uses light and movement to capture your attention without sound or heat. As home design moves toward safer choices, Pyrox shows that innovation does not mean adding complexity. By separating the beauty of fire from its traditional dangers, Pyrox allows people to enjoy a lasting sense of calm. 8. What is mainly talked about regarding Pyrox in paragraph 2? A. User reviews.  B. Working principle.  C. Design inspiration.  D. Future development. 9. What is the most remarkable advantage of Pyrox? A. Low cost.  B. High heat.  C. Safety design.  D. Fast installation. 10. What does the text say about Pyrox’s operation? A. It is controlled by physical buttons instead of an app. B. It can run for 30 hours without any attention from users. C. It must be refilled with water every few hours for safety. D. It requires professional installation and a WiFi connection. 11. What does the author imply about modern home design trends? A. Traditional fireplaces are being abandoned by families. B. Safety and simplicity are becoming increasingly valued. C. Smart devices with multiple functions are losing popularity. D. Visual decoration is replacing practical heating equipment in homes. D The world’s deadliest animal is not a poisonous snake or a fierce shark; it is the tiny mosquito. Every year, thousands of people die from diseases spread by mosquitoes, such as malaria and dengue fever (登革热). To fight this problem, Google’s parent company, Alphabet, has launched a creative project called Debug. This project aims to reduce the number of mosquitoes by releasing millions of them in areas like California and Florida. The motto of Debug is simple: “Good mosquitoes can stop bad ones.” The team consists of scientists and engineers who raise male mosquitoes that cannot bite or spread disease. Their method relies on a kind of bacterium called Wolbachia. When these special males are released into the wild, they mate with wild females, but no babies are produced. Over time, the population of harmful mosquitoes decreases. Importantly, this process involves no chemicals or genetic changes, making it a natural way to control bad insects. This idea is not new; it is called the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT). It has successfully controlled other insects, such as fruit flies, for decades. However, it has never been used effectively on mosquitoes until now. Mosquitoes are delicate and difficult to raise in large numbers. The Debug team is developing new technology to solve these problems. Currently, separating male and female mosquitoes is a slow, hand-operated job, but automation will make it faster and cheaper. The results so far are promising. In Singapore, where the plan started in 2024, the number of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes (the main spreader of dengue) has dropped by 80 — 90%. More importantly, dengue cases have fallen by over 70% within a year. These successes have encouraged Debug to expand its efforts to the United States. Debug has asked the U. S. government for permission to release up to 16 million mosquitoes each year in California and Florida for the next two years. The proposal is currently under review by the Environmental Protection Agency. If approved, this project could offer a powerful, long-lasting, and environmentally friendly way to protect public health, proving that sometimes the smallest creatures require the smartest solutions. 12. What makes Debug’s method distinct from conventional mosquito control? A. It has proven effective in both Asia and America. B. It eliminates mosquitoes through direct poisoning. C. It introduces a foreign species to compete for food. D. It stops reproduction without chemicals or gene editing. 13. What can be inferred about the future of the Debug project? A. It will be turned down by the US government. B. It will become a cheaper and more efficient solution. C. It will stop using bacteria to avoid environmental risks. D. It will focus on controlling fruit flies instead of mosquitoes. 14. Why does the author mention the results in Singapore? A. To show the Debug plan is effective in practice. B. To explain why mosquitoes prefer urban areas. C. To criticize the slow response of the government. D. To prove the Debug project works better in hot climate. 15. What is the ultimate goal of the Debug project? A. To make profits for Alphabet.  B. To reduce the use of chemicals. C. To safeguard people’s well-being.  D. To develop safer insect-killing products. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Breaks Interstate Park, the “Grand Canyon (峡谷) of the South,” lies on the border between Virginia and Kentucky and is known for thick forests, winding rivers, and the 1,650-foot-deep Breaks Canyon.

My father used to take me climbing when I was a child, and he had taught me one rule above all others: When in doubt, stop — never wander. My roommate Daniel was a cautious climber. He had grown up hiking Table Mountain and still bore a long scar (伤疤) on his leg from a fall on the old Newlands path when he was fifteen. He had told me about it more than once, and every time he ended the same way: “That route is quiet. Almost nobody uses it. If you ever take it, go with someone who knows it.” That Sunday, for the first time, I went by myself. Before leaving, I sent him a message: “Going up Table Mountain. Back before dark.” He replied with an approving emoji (表情) — and then, a second message: “Text me when you reach the top. Remember your emergency button. One press and it sends your coordinates (坐标) to me.” I read it, smiled, and thought his worry was unnecessary. The first part of the climb was easy. The sun was warm, and the route was clear. But after a couple of hours, I followed what I thought was the right way, and only later did I realize that the markers had disappeared. My father’s rule came back to me, but by then I had already walked too far to trust my own memory. When I turned around, the way I had come looked just as strange as the way ahead — and I understood, with a cold feeling, that this was the quiet Newlands route Daniel had warned me about. The maps on my phone had been running for hours, making my phone nearly dead. I had left my power bank at the dorm. I thought of the darkness closing in, and of how far I was from any path. The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. 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。 I stood frozen where I was, wondering what to do. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just as I thought I’d spend the night there, I heard Daniel’s familiar voice. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英 语 本试卷共8页，满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1．本试卷由四个部分组成，其中，第一、二部分和第三部分的第一节为选择题，第三部分的第二节和第四部分为非选择题。 2．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 3．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。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.

Of course, kind words work best when they are also clear enough to be understood. Asha Curley, 11 AI lets people be more efficient. But does AI really need to see the words please or thank you to give a response? No. You don’t have to be polite to AI, but you shouldn’t be rude, either. Just focus on being brief and clear. This is good practice in business and technology. Being polite to living creatures is important. 1. What can polite prompts bring to AI according to Aubrey Lamirault? A. Clear responses.   B. A drop in mistakes. C. Honest information.   D. A trend toward being brief. 2. Who thinks that being overly polite to AI may downplay how serious a problem is? A. Aubrey Lamirault.  B. Hanming Wang.  C. Ethan Yu.  D. Asha Curley. 3. What do the four kids share in their views on talking to AI? A. They see AI as a lifeless tool needing no feelings. B. They say politeness shapes how people act in real life. C. They hold that kindness to machines reaches other people. D. They agree how we phrase requests affects AI’s responses. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文针对是否应该对人工智能聊天机器人说“请”、“谢谢”等礼貌用语，呈现四位孩子的不同观点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Aubrey Lamirault下面的观点“Using polite language in your prompts (提示语) is a good idea. It can lead to better information with fewer errors. (在你的提示语中使用礼貌用语是个好办法。它可以带来更优质的信息，减少错误)”可知，Aubrey Lamirault认为礼貌的提示语能够降低错误的发生。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Hanming Wang下面的观点“But if they say “Could you please make some small adjustments?”, it might make only tiny changes. In this example, being too polite hides how big the problems are. (但是如果他们说“能否请你做一些小改动？”，AI可能只会做微小修改。在这个例子中，过于礼貌会掩盖问题的严重程度)”可知，Hanming Wang提出对AI过度礼貌会弱化问题的严重性。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据Aubrey Lamirault下面的观点“This means a person’s behavior influences AI’s responses. (这意味着人的行为会影响人工智能的回复)”、Hanming Wang下面的观点“Too many polite words can confuse AI. (过多礼貌用语会使人工智能产生困惑)”、Ethan Yu下面的观点“Of course, kind words work best when they are also clear enough to be understood. (当然，友好的话语只有足够清晰能够理解才最有效)”、 Asha Curley下面的观点“Just focus on being brief and clear. (只需关注简短清晰)” 可知，Aubrey Lamirault认为礼貌提示语影响AI输出质量，Hanming Wang认为过多客套话会干扰AI，Ethan Yu提出友好话语要保证表述清晰，Asha Curley主张表述简洁明了。四人观点虽不同，但都认为提出请求的措辞方式会影响AI 的回复。 B When Bethany Van Meter first saw a photo of a dog named River, her heart was deeply touched. River was a homeless dog who had lost both eyes due to a serious infection. Though he was suffering, something about him moved Bethany. She and her husband had over 20 years of experience rescuing animals. So they adopted River officially on February 27, 2021. At first, life without sight was a challenge for him, but he proved to be very smart. He used his other senses to understand the world. The couple walked him around the house and yard until he memorized the layout. Soon, River settled into their home, even finding his favorite spot on the couch. Bethany adored his gentle nature. Bethany began taking River into the community. Many people were doubtful about the dog and unsure how to react to a blind dog. However, once they spent time with River and felt his warmth, their opinions changed completely. Bethany realized that River had a special power to teach kindness and acceptance. Inspired by this, she began sharing his story online as if River were speaking himself. The response was prodigious, leading her to write and publish a children’s book titled I See With My Heart. The book quickly became a hit. Determined to spread River’s message, Bethany organized school visits where she read the book and introduced River to students. She hoped to plant seeds of empathy and kindness early on. The results were remarkable — children who were once afraid of dogs grew comfortable around River, and many left feeling more accepting and joyful. Over the past three years, River has visited more than 100 schools and completed over 200 readings nationwide. Part of the money from book sales supports therapy (治疗) dogs in schools to help students feel calm and confident. Bethany believes River teaches children empathy, bravery, and the importance of not judging by appearances. Most importantly, River shows that love can help anyone overcome obstacles. Thanks to Bethany’s care, River is not only surviving but truly thriving (茁壮成长), touching hearts wherever he goes. 4. Why did Bethany decide to adopt River? A. She wanted to write a book about him. B. She was attracted by River’s cool appearance. C. She had rich experience in rescuing animals. D. She thought River could help kids learn empathy. 5. What does the underlined word “prodigious” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Amazing.  B. Immediate.  C. Mixed.  D. Negative. 6. What can we infer about River’s school visits from paragraph 4? A. They are supported by most schools across the country. B. They are aimed at teaching students how to protect animals. C. They focus on showing students the hardships of River’s life. D. They have helped kids develop greater emotional understanding. 7. What message does the story of River mainly convey? A. Animals are smart and have strong survival abilities. B. Love and acceptance can help overcome difficulties. C. School education should include more pet activities. D. Blind animals deserve more care than normal ones. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述Bethany收养失明流浪犬里弗，借助里弗的故事在校园传递善意与共情，还出版童书，用爱感染很多人的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When Bethany Van Meter first saw a photo of a dog named River, her heart was deeply touched. River was a homeless dog who had lost both eyes due to a serious infection. Though he was suffering, something about him moved Bethany. She and her husband had over 20 years of experience rescuing animals. So they adopted River officially on February 27, 2021.(当贝萨妮・范・米特第一次看到一只名叫里弗的狗的照片时，她的心被深深触动了。里弗是一只流浪狗，因为严重感染失去了双眼。尽管他正在受苦，但他身上的某种特质打动了贝萨妮。她和丈夫拥有二十多年救助动物的经验。于是他们在2021年2月27日正式收养了里弗。)”可知，贝萨妮有丰富的动物救助经验，因此决定收养失去双眼的里弗。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Inspired by this, she began sharing his story online as if River were speaking himself. The response was prodigious, leading her to write and publish a children’s book titled I See With My Heart.(受此启发，她开始在网上分享他的故事，就好像里弗在亲自诉说一样。反响prodigious，促使她写作并出版了一本名为《我用心看见》的童书。)”可知，网上反响很好，这才促使她写了一本童书。故猜测prodigious意为“惊人的”，含义接近amazing。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“She hoped to plant seeds of empathy and kindness early on. The results were remarkable — children who were once afraid of dogs grew comfortable around River, and many left feeling more accepting and joyful.(她希望早早种下共情与善良的种子。成果十分显著 —— 曾经害怕狗的孩子在里弗身边变得放松，很多孩子离开时变得更加包容、愉悦。)”可知，里弗的校园探访帮助孩子们提升情感理解能力。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，并根据最后一段中的“Bethany believes River teaches children empathy, bravery, and the importance of not judging by appearances. Most importantly, River shows that love can help anyone overcome obstacles.(贝萨妮认为里弗教会孩子们共情、勇敢以及不以貌取人的重要性。最重要的是，里弗表明爱可以帮助任何人克服障碍。)”可知，这个故事主要传递的是爱与接纳能够帮助人们战胜困难。 C A quiet change is happening in home decoration. Instead of wood or gas, a new product called Pyrox finds its magic in water. Unlike traditional fireplaces, Pyrox focuses on creating a visual experience rather than providing heat. It offers the charm of fire without smoke, danger, or safety worries. At first glance, Pyrox is a smooth, modern decoration that fits any room. When you press a button, it produces a “flame” that looks real. This fire is an illusion (幻觉) created by an ultrasonic (超声波) system. It turns water into a fine mist. Special engineering controls the air to shape this mist as it rises, copying the movement of real fire. Colored lights then shine through the steam, giving it a warm appearance while staying cool to the touch. The creators call this effect “cold flames.” What makes this design striking is its absolute safety. Because there is no smoke, ash, or bad smell, it is completely safe for families with children or pets. Pyrox changes the idea of a fireplace from a heating tool to a piece of art. It is very easy to use: just add water, turn it on, and choose a color. The device offers seven color choices, from warm yellow to cool blue. According to the makers, one tank of water lasts up to 30 hours on a low setting. For safety, it shuts off automatically when the water is low. Since it needs no installation (安装), Pyrox is perfect for apartments or offices. It provides a peaceful center of attention wherever it is placed. Unlike many smart devices, it does not require a phone app or WiFi. Its controls are physical and simple, making it easy to operate. In a world full of screens, Pyrox offers a different kind of focus. It uses light and movement to capture your attention without sound or heat. As home design moves toward safer choices, Pyrox shows that innovation does not mean adding complexity. By separating the beauty of fire from its traditional dangers, Pyrox allows people to enjoy a lasting sense of calm. 8. What is mainly talked about regarding Pyrox in paragraph 2? A. User reviews.  B. Working principle.  C. Design inspiration.  D. Future development. 9. What is the most remarkable advantage of Pyrox? A. Low cost.  B. High heat.  C. Safety design.  D. Fast installation. 10. What does the text say about Pyrox’s operation? A. It is controlled by physical buttons instead of an app. B. It can run for 30 hours without any attention from users. C. It must be refilled with water every few hours for safety. D. It requires professional installation and a WiFi connection. 11. What does the author imply about modern home design trends? A. Traditional fireplaces are being abandoned by families. B. Safety and simplicity are becoming increasingly valued. C. Smart devices with multiple functions are losing popularity. D. Visual decoration is replacing practical heating equipment in homes. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍一款名叫Pyrox的新型家用装饰产品。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“This fire is an illusion created by an ultrasonic system. It turns water into a fine mist. Special engineering controls the air to shape this mist as it rises, copying the movement of real fire. Colored lights then shine through the steam…(这种火焰是超声波系统制造出来的幻象。该系统将水转化成细密水雾。特殊的结构设计控制气流，在水雾上升时塑造它的形态，模仿真实火焰跳动的样子。随后彩色灯光穿透水雾照射出来……)”可知，第二段讲解它如何利用超声波、水雾、气流、灯光造出仿真火焰，也就是工作原理。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“What makes this design striking is its absolute safety. Because there is no smoke, ash, or bad smell, it is completely safe for families with children or pets.(这个设计最亮眼之处在于它极高的安全性。它不产生烟雾、灰烬，也没有异味，对于有孩子或者宠物的家庭来说，使用起来十分安全。)”可知，Pyrox 最突出的优势是安全的设计。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Unlike many smart devices, it does not require a phone app or WiFi. Its controls are physical and simple, making it easy to operate.(和很多智能设备不同，它不需要手机应用程序，也不需要无线网络。它采用实体按键，操作简单，上手容易。)”可知，关于 Pyrox 的使用操作，文中提到了它由实体按键控制，而非手机应用程序。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As home design moves toward safer choices, Pyrox shows that innovation does not mean adding complexity.(在家居设计愈发偏向安全方案的趋势下，Pyrox这款产品表明创新并不意味着增加复杂度。)”可知，关于现代家居设计趋势，作者暗示了安全性和简约性正越来越受重视。 D The world’s deadliest animal is not a poisonous snake or a fierce shark; it is the tiny mosquito. Every year, thousands of people die from diseases spread by mosquitoes, such as malaria and dengue fever (登革热). To fight this problem, Google’s parent company, Alphabet, has launched a creative project called Debug. This project aims to reduce the number of mosquitoes by releasing millions of them in areas like California and Florida. The motto of Debug is simple: “Good mosquitoes can stop bad ones.” The team consists of scientists and engineers who raise male mosquitoes that cannot bite or spread disease. Their method relies on a kind of bacterium called Wolbachia. When these special males are released into the wild, they mate with wild females, but no babies are produced. Over time, the population of harmful mosquitoes decreases. Importantly, this process involves no chemicals or genetic changes, making it a natural way to control bad insects. This idea is not new; it is called the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT). It has successfully controlled other insects, such as fruit flies, for decades. However, it has never been used effectively on mosquitoes until now. Mosquitoes are delicate and difficult to raise in large numbers. The Debug team is developing new technology to solve these problems. Currently, separating male and female mosquitoes is a slow, hand-operated job, but automation will make it faster and cheaper. The results so far are promising. In Singapore, where the plan started in 2024, the number of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes (the main spreader of dengue) has dropped by 80 — 90%. More importantly, dengue cases have fallen by over 70% within a year. These successes have encouraged Debug to expand its efforts to the United States. Debug has asked the U. S. government for permission to release up to 16 million mosquitoes each year in California and Florida for the next two years. The proposal is currently under review by the Environmental Protection Agency. If approved, this project could offer a powerful, long-lasting, and environmentally friendly way to protect public health, proving that sometimes the smallest creatures require the smartest solutions. 12. What makes Debug’s method distinct from conventional mosquito control? A. It has proven effective in both Asia and America. B. It eliminates mosquitoes through direct poisoning. C. It introduces a foreign species to compete for food. D. It stops reproduction without chemicals or gene editing. 13. What can be inferred about the future of the Debug project? A. It will be turned down by the US government. B. It will become a cheaper and more efficient solution. C. It will stop using bacteria to avoid environmental risks. D. It will focus on controlling fruit flies instead of mosquitoes. 14. Why does the author mention the results in Singapore? A. To show the Debug plan is effective in practice. B. To explain why mosquitoes prefer urban areas. C. To criticize the slow response of the government. D. To prove the Debug project works better in hot climate. 15. What is the ultimate goal of the Debug project? A. To make profits for Alphabet.  B. To reduce the use of chemicals. C. To safeguard people’s well-being.  D. To develop safer insect-killing products. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了Alphabet公司的Debug项目投放携带沃尔巴克氏体的雄蚊，阻断蚊子繁殖，新加坡试点成效突出，若在美国获批，将以环保方式保护公众健康。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Importantly, this process involves no chemicals or genetic changes, making it a natural way to control bad insects.(重要的是，该过程不使用化学药剂，也不改变基因，是一种控制有害昆虫的天然方式)”可知，Debug 的方法区别于传统控蚊手段的地方在于它不借助化学药剂或基因编辑来阻断蚊子繁殖。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Currently, separating male and female mosquitoes is a slow, hand-operated job, but automation will make it faster and cheaper.(目前，雌雄蚊子的分拣是缓慢的人工操作，但自动化技术会让这项工作更快、成本更低)”可知，该项目未来会成为一种更廉价、高效的方案。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In Singapore, where the plan started in 2024, the number of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes (the main spreader of dengue) has dropped by 80 — 90%. More importantly, dengue cases have fallen by over 70% within a year.(该方案2024年在新加坡启动，当地传播登革热的埃及伊蚊数量下降80%至90%，一年内登革热病例降幅超70%)”可知，作者提及新加坡的数据是为证明这套方案在实际应用中效果显著。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“If approved, this project could offer a powerful, long-lasting, and environmentally friendly way to protect public health, proving that sometimes the smallest creatures require the smartest solutions.(如果获批，该项目可以提供有力、持久且环保的方式保护公众健康)”可知，Debug项目的最终目标是守护人们的健康。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Breaks Interstate Park, the “Grand Canyon (峡谷) of the South,” lies on the border between Virginia and Kentucky and is known for thick forests, winding rivers, and the 1,650-foot-deep Breaks Canyon.

Take a look at the keyboards of some 19th-century typewriters and you’ll find a dedicated @ key ____36____ (sit) right there among the letters and other symbols. Its users certainly weren’t emailing workmates ____37____ messaging friends on social media, so what was it doing there? There are a few ____38____ (theory) of where and why the @ came to be. The first ____39____ (record) use of @ was in 1536, although some argue that the symbol dates back to the sixth or seventh centuries. It’s said that lazy Latin scribes (抄写员) would have to endlessly copy documents by hand, so they developed shortcuts ____40____ (get) the job done quicker. This is ____41____ gave rise to many shorthand symbols, including the &. The @ ____42____ (evolve) similarly as a shorthand for the Latin word ad — meaning “at,” “to,” or “toward”. In 2000, Italian professor Giorgio Stabile found the @ symbol in a trader’s letter, meaning “at the price of”, and 19th-century shopkeepers used it ____43____ (identical) in their account books. Its modern use came in 1971 ____44____ computer scientist Ray Tomlinson was building the first email program on ARPANET, the early backbone of the internet. He needed a symbol that could signal to the operating system it was reading an address. The @ fit perfectly. With that decision, Tomlinson saved the old symbol and transformed it into a typical sign of ____45____ (we) times. 【答案】36. sitting 37. or 38. theories 39. recorded 40. to get 41. what 42. evolved 43. identically 44. when 45. our 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍 @符号的起源、早期用途以及它如何被应用到电子邮件当中。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：看一看一些19世纪打字机的键盘，你会发现一个专门的@键就位于字母和其他符号之间。空处作宾补，宾语a dedicated @ key和sit之间是主动关系，用现在分词。 【37题详解】 考查并列连词。句意：它当时的使用者当然不是给同事发邮件或者在社交媒体上给朋友发消息，那么它放在那里是做什么的？否定句中并列的动作用or连接。 【38题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：关于@符号从何而来、因何产生，存在几种理论。a few后面接可数名词复数theories。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：@有记载的首次使用出现在1536年，尽管一些人认为这个符号可以追溯到六七世纪。此处修饰名词use，动词record和use是逻辑上的被动关系，需用过去分词作定语，表示“被记录的”。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：据说懒惰的拉丁文抄写员必须无休止地手抄文件，所以他们创造简写形式来更快完成这项工作。创造简写形式的目的是更快完成工作，用不定式to get作目的状语。 【41题详解】 考查表语从句。句意：这就是许多简写符号（包括 &）产生的原因。空处引导表语从句，从句缺少主语，指代事物，用连接代词what。 【42题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：@符号也以类似方式演变，作为拉丁单词ad的简写，意思是“在、到、朝向”。本段讲述过去符号的演变过程，用一般过去时，谓语用过去式evolved。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：2000年，意大利教授乔治奥・斯塔比莱在一位商人的信件里发现@符号，意思是“以……价格”，并且19世纪店主在账本里也同样使用它。此处修饰动词used，应用提示词的副词形式identically。 【44题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：它的现代用途始于1971年，当时计算机科学家雷・汤姆林森在阿帕网（互联网早期主干网）上搭建第一个电子邮件程序。空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词是1971，表示时间，在从句中作时间状语，用关系副词when引导定语从句。 【45题详解】 考查形容词性物主代词。句意：随着这个决定，汤姆林森挽救了这个古老符号，并将它转变为我们这个时代的标志性符号。空后times是名词，需要形容词性物主代词our修饰。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你的美国笔友Chris即将高中毕业，来信提到毕业典礼前同学们会装饰毕业帽，他打算在帽子上加入中国元素，希望你给出建议。请给他写一封回信，内容包括： 1. 推荐一个中国元素； 2. 说明其寓意； 3. 你的祝愿。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Chris, I’m glad to hear that you’re graduating soon. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Chris, I’m glad to hear that you’re graduating soon.

(运用了现在分词短语作状语) 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 I had always loved mountains, but I had never hiked one alone. My father used to take me climbing when I was a child, and he had taught me one rule above all others: When in doubt, stop — never wander. My roommate Daniel was a cautious climber. He had grown up hiking Table Mountain and still bore a long scar (伤疤) on his leg from a fall on the old Newlands path when he was fifteen. He had told me about it more than once, and every time he ended the same way: “That route is quiet. Almost nobody uses it. If you ever take it, go with someone who knows it.” That Sunday, for the first time, I went by myself. Before leaving, I sent him a message: “Going up Table Mountain. Back before dark.” He replied with an approving emoji (表情) — and then, a second message: “Text me when you reach the top. Remember your emergency button. One press and it sends your coordinates (坐标) to me.” I read it, smiled, and thought his worry was unnecessary. The first part of the climb was easy. The sun was warm, and the route was clear. But after a couple of hours, I followed what I thought was the right way, and only later did I realize that the markers had disappeared. My father’s rule came back to me, but by then I had already walked too far to trust my own memory. When I turned around, the way I had come looked just as strange as the way ahead — and I understood, with a cold feeling, that this was the quiet Newlands route Daniel had warned me about. The maps on my phone had been running for hours, making my phone nearly dead. I had left my power bank at the dorm. I thought of the darkness closing in, and of how far I was from any path. The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. 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。 I stood frozen where I was, wondering what to do. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just as I thought I’d spend the night there, I heard Daniel’s familiar voice. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I stood frozen where I was, wondering what to do. Dad’s rule echoed in my mind: When in doubt, stop. I forced myself to calm down and not move blindly. I remembered the emergency button on my watch. With trembling fingers, I pressed it. Then I sat on a big rock, staying in one place as told. The wind blew through the trees, and shadows grew longer. I kept checking my surroundings carefully and shouted from time to time, hoping someone could hear me. Fear still filled my heart, but I knew staying put was my best choice. Just as I thought I’d spend the night there, I heard Daniel’s familiar voice. I shouted back at the top of my lungs. Minutes later, Daniel appeared around the rocks, with a flashlight in his hand. He had received my location and rushed to search for me. He didn’t scold me at once. Instead, he handed me warm water and helped me stand up. On the way back, he reminded me again how dangerous the lonely path was. I felt ashamed and promised never to hike alone on unfamiliar routes again. 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述作者独自攀登桌山，无视室友Daniel的提醒，意外误入危险偏僻的Newlands小路而迷路。手机快要没电、天色渐晚，他陷入恐慌，也想起父亲教给他的登山准则：拿不准方向时就停下，不要随意乱走。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写想起父亲的告诫，努力冷静下来，按下手表上的紧急求助按钮，原地不动、不时呼喊求救，虽然内心恐惧，但清楚原地等候是最好的办法。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Daniel收到定位赶来找到了他，没有立刻责备，而是先照顾他。返程途中Daniel再次提醒这条小路的危险，作者十分愧疚，承诺不再独自走陌生的登山路线。 2. 续写线索：想起父亲告诫——发送紧急求助——感到恐惧——Daniel前来救援——感到愧疚——承诺不再独自登山 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①记得：remember/recall ②出现：appear/turn up 情绪类 ①害怕：fear/fright ②惭愧的：ashamed/compunctious 【点睛】[高分句型1] I kept checking my surroundings carefully and shouted from time to time, hoping someone could hear me.（运用了现在分词作状语以及省略了that的宾语从句） [高分句型2] On the way back, he reminded me again how dangerous the lonely path was.（运用了how引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
