Lily and Mia are good friends. ________ often help each other. A. They B. Them C. Their D. Theirs 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：莉莉和米娅是好朋友。她们经常互相帮助。 They他们，主格；Them他们，宾格；Their他们的，形容词性物主代词；Theirs他们的，名词性物主代词。根据“______ often help each other”可知，空格处在句中作主语，指代“Lily and Mia”，应用人称代词主格They。 2. My bike was broken on the way, ________ I was late for school. A. but B. for C. so D. or 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的自行车在路上坏了，所以我上学迟到了。 考查连词辨析。but但是；for因为；so所以；or或者。根据“My bike was broken on the way”和“I was late for school”可知，前后是因果关系，前因后果，用so连接。故选C。 3. After talking with Lily, I planned ________ more time knowing people around me. A. spend B. to spend C. spending D. spent 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：和莉莉交谈后，我计划花更多时间去了解我周围的人。 固定搭配plan to do sth.，意为“计划做某事”，空处应用动词不定式，应填to spend。 4. Everyone has ________. That is what’s interesting and beautiful. A. everything special B. special something C. anything special D. something special 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：每个人都有一些特别的东西。这就是有趣和美丽的地方。 考查不定代词的用法。everything special所有特别的东西；special something词序错误；anything special任何特别的东西，多用于否定或疑问句；something special一些特别的东西，用在肯定句中，用something表示某些东西，形容词修饰不定代词时需后置，因此something special正确。故选D。 5. A lot of people in China ________ by high-speed train every year. A. travel B. traveled C. will travel D. have traveled 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：中国每年有很多人乘坐高铁出行。 考查动词的时态。根据时间状语“every year”可知，本句应用一般现在时。故选A。 6. —Hello, may I speak to Nick? —Wait a moment. He ________ the dishes in the kitchen. A. is doing B. did C. has done D. does 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你好，我可以和尼克通话吗？——等一下。他正在厨房洗餐具。 这是打电话的场景，根据“Wait a moment”可知，说话时尼克正在厨房洗餐具，没法马上过来接电话。要表达此时此刻正在进行的动作，需要用现在进行时，应填is doing。 7. Smith can communicate with us more easily now, because he ________ Chinese for a year. A. is learning B. learns C. will learn D. has learned 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：史密斯现在能更轻松地与我们交流了，因为他已经学了一年中文了。 题干里的时间标志词“for a year”表示动作从过去开始，一直持续到现在，并且对现在造成了影响，即前文提到的“Smith can communicate with us more easily now”，该语境需要用现在完成时，结构是“have/has+动词过去分词”。 8. My friend Sally ________ to another city last year. I really miss her. A. has moved B. moves C. moved D. is moving 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的朋友莎莉去年搬到了另一个城市。我真的很想念她。 根据时间状语“last year”可知动作发生在过去，应使用一般过去时，应选C。 9. What an exciting match! I ________ such a great one before. A. saw B. didn’t see C. have seen D. have never seen 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：多么激动人心的比赛啊！我以前从未看过这么精彩的比赛。 考查动词时态辨析。saw看过（一般过去时）；didn’t see没看过（一般过去时否定）；have seen看过（现在完成时）；have never seen从未看过（现在完成时否定）。根据“before”可知此处强调“过去的经历对现在的影响”，需用现在完成时，且句意强调“从未看过”，故选D。 10. — Hello, this is Mary. Can I speak to Kate? — Sorry, she isn’t in. She ________ the music club. She will be back in two hours. A. has been to B. has gone to C. has been in D. has been at 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你好，我是玛丽。我可以和凯特通话吗？——抱歉，她不在。她去了音乐俱乐部。她将在两小时后回来。 has been to去过（已回）；has gone to去了（未回）；has been in待在；has been at在。根据“she isn’t in.”及“She will be back in two hours.”可知，此处表示她去了某地尚未回来。 四、完形填空（每小题1分，共8分） Learning to get along well with people is among the most important skills in our lives. Many of us find it hard to build good relationships, especially when we meet people with different personalities. I once had a classmate, Mia. She was quiet and lonely most of the time. Most of my classmates thought of her as cold and unkind. As a result, she seldom took part in group activities. I also kept my social distance from her at first. One day, our teacher asked us to work in pairs for a project. To my surprise, Mia and I were a pair. I felt nervous, worrying that our teamwork would be ____11____. However, things turned out quite differently. When we started talking, I discovered that Mia was not cold at all. She was just ____12____ to open up to strangers. She had rich thoughts and was deeply lost in her own world. As we worked together, I gradually learned to understand her way of thinking. Instead of judging her by her outer appearance, I tried to see the real person inside. Slowly, we became good friends. This experience taught me an important lesson: getting along with others is not about finding people who are just like us. It is about learning to ____13____ differences. Everyone has their own way of showing feelings. Some people are outgoing and talkative, while others prefer to stay ____14____. Too often, we make quick ____15____ about others based on first impressions. We may miss the good qualities behind a person’s surface. True friendship requires trust and patience. We should give others a ____16____ to show their true selves. In our daily life, we will ____17____ different kinds of people. We cannot expect everyone to ____18____ our style. When we learn to accept and understand others, we will get more happiness from our relationships. 11. A. successful B. difficult C. easy D. meaningful 12. A. willing B. ready C. afraid D. sad 13. A. create B. accept C. avoid D. cause 14. A. noisy B. active C. silent D. calm 15. A. decisions B. choices C. judgments D. promises 16. A. chance B. task C. reason D. try 17. A. meet B. notice C. remember D. recognize 18. A. share B. copy C. change D. match 【答案】11. B 12. C 13. B 14. C 15. C 16. A 17. A 18. D 【解析】 【导语】本文通过作者与Mia合作的经历，讲述与人相处之道。作者意识到应接受差异，不凭第一印象评判他人，学会理解包容才能收获幸福。 【11题详解】 句意：我感到紧张，担心我们的团队合作会很困难。 根据前文作者认为Mia冷漠且不合群，可知作者担心合作会不顺利，difficult“困难的”符合紧张的心理。successful“成功的”，easy“简单的”，meaningful“有意义的”，与担忧的负面语境不符。 【12题详解】 句意：她只是害怕向陌生人敞开心扉。 根据前文提到她安静孤独但并非冷漠，可知她是因为害羞或害怕才不说话，afraid“害怕的”符合语境。willing“愿意的”，ready“准备好的”，sad“悲伤的”，不符合语境。 【13题详解】 句意：这是关于学会接受差异。 根据前文“不是找像我们一样的人”及后文“学会接受和理解他人”，可知主旨是接纳不同，accept“接受”符合语境。create“创造”，avoid“避免”，cause“导致”，违背文章主旨。 【14题详解】 句意：有些人外向健谈，而其他人更喜欢保持沉默。 根据前文“outgoing and talkative”及“while”可知，此处需填反义词，silent“沉默的”符合语境。noisy“吵闹的”，active“活跃的”，calm“冷静的”，不符合语境。 【15题详解】 句意：我们常常基于第一印象对他人做出快速的评判。 根据前文“Instead of judging her”及搭配“make judgments about”，可知此处指评判他人，judgments“评判”符合语境。decisions“决定”，choices“选择”，promises“承诺”，搭配不当。 【16题详解】 句意：我们应该给别人一个展示真实自我的机会。 根据固定搭配“give sb a chance”可知，应给他人机会。task“任务”，reason“理由”，try“尝试”，语意不通。 【17题详解】 句意：在日常生活中，我们会遇见不同种类的人。 根据生活常识及上下文，生活中会“遇见”不同的人，meet“遇见”符合语境。notice“注意”，remember“记住”，recognize“认出”，不符合语境。 【18题详解】 句意：我们不能期望每个人都符合我们的风格。 根据前文“接受差异”可知，不能强求他人与自己一致，match“匹配/符合”符合语境。share“分享”，copy“复制”，change“改变”，不符合逻辑。 阅读理解（共26分） 五、阅读理解（每小题2分，共18分） （一）下列每幅图片代表一个中学生成长中的主题，请根据三位同学的处境与心愿，匹配最适合他们的图片，并将图片所对应的选项（A、B、C、D）填在相应位置上，其中一个选项为多余选项。 A ____19____ Li Hui: I’ve just moved to this school. I know nobody here and I often feel lonely at break time. I really want to talk to someone and make new friends. ____20____ Zhang Mei: I’ve been unhappy about being short and wearing braces (牙箍). I sometimes hide behind my hair. I wish I could stop worrying about my looks and feel good about myself. ____21____ Tony: I always take my old toys apart to see how they work. My dad says I’m full of strange ideas. I’ve already made a small robot at home, and I want to make more. 【答案】19. B 20. A 21. C 【解析】 【导语】本文给出了三个人的自我陈述和四张图片，要求根据每个人的陈述，为之匹配相应的图片。 【19题详解】 根据该行右边一栏中李辉的介绍“I’ve just moved to this school. I know nobody here and I often feel lonely at break time. I really want to talk to someone and make new friends.”可知，李辉刚到一所新学校，很孤单，想要找人交谈、交朋友，对应B图几个同学一起交流的画面。 【20题详解】 根据该行右边一栏中张梅的介绍“I’ve been unhappy about being short and wearing braces (牙箍). I sometimes hide behind my hair. I wish I could stop worrying about my looks and feel good about myself.”可知，张梅因为外貌自卑，A图中的女孩在照镜子，在关注自己的形象，对应她的人物身份和外貌烦恼。 【21题详解】 根据该行右边一栏中Tony的介绍“I always take my old toys apart to see how they work. My dad says I’m full of strange ideas. I’ve already made a small robot at home, and I want to make more.”可知，Tony喜欢拆玩具、做机器人，C图中是一个男孩在摆弄拆解玩具，并且旁边有一个小机器人，二者相匹配。 （二）阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 B Bella was an inventor. She loved to think about inventions day and night. She used different tools and recycled things to create new objects, like headphones to keep her ears warm and an umbrella that you don’t need to hold in your hand. She lived on a quiet apple farm. One afternoon, her father said, “Bella, could you invent something to help me? The apple trees are too high. I get tired of using a ladder (梯子) to pick apples. Can you make an invention to help me pick apples?” “Of course, Dad!” Bella answered. Then she realized she didn’t have an invention for picking apples yet. That night, she had a surprising dream. In her dream, she jumped very high. The next morning, she knew exactly what to invent. She made springs (弹簧) and glued them under her sports shoes. She also wore her sun hat to stay away from the heat and went out to test her new shoes. At first she made small, slow jumps. Soon she jumped higher and faster. Suddenly, the sun hat got caught in an apple tree. Bella hung there in the tree like an apple and shouted, “Help!” Her father heard her shout and ran towards her. “Bella! Are you okay?” he shouted worriedly. “Yes, Dad!” she shouted out. “I have good news! I invented shoes with springs to jump and help pick apples from tall trees! The shoes work great, but don’t wear the shoes with the sun hat!” Her father got a ladder and helped her down. He studied the spring shoes with great interest. Bella felt a bit embarrassed (尴尬) but mostly excited. As they walked back to the house, Bella felt a sense of achievement. She really did it — helping her father pick those hard-to-reach apples. 22. Why did Bella’s father want her to make an invention? A. He needed new shoes for climbing trees. B. He wanted to have a hands-free umbrella. C. He hoped to stop apples from falling down. D. He felt tired while picking apples with a ladder. 23. What happened when Bella tested her spring shoes? A. Her spring shoes broke while jumping. B. Her sun hat got caught in the tree. C. An apple fell from the tree and hit her on the head. D. She jumped too high and couldn’t climb down by herself. 24. What do you think of Bella? A. She is shy and quiet. B. She is lazy and careless. C. She is creative and helpful. D. She is forgetful and dishonest. 【答案】22. D 23. B 24. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了热爱发明的小女孩Bella应父亲请求发明摘苹果工具，经历测试意外后最终获得成就感的故事。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The apple trees are too high. I get tired of using a ladder to pick apples.”可知父亲因为用梯子摘苹果感到劳累，所以希望Bella发明工具帮忙。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Suddenly, the sun hat got caught in an apple tree.”可知测试过程中她的防晒帽被树枝挂住了。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“She loved to think about inventions”及全文她为父亲发明摘苹果工具的故事可推知她具有创造力且乐于助人。 C Gratitude may not be the best way of treating serious mental health challenges, research suggests. But gratitude can bring “small moments of joy,” says McCullough, a social psychologist at the University of California, San Diego. And a daily gratitude practice could allow those small moments to add up to something larger. But what exactly is gratitude? Gratitude is not just about saying “thank you.” It is a feeling of thanks toward someone or something. For a long time, people thought of gratitude as giving thanks to another person to repay a social debt. In other words, “You scratch (挠) my back, and I’ll scratch yours.” In fact, it also means being thankful for the good things in life, such as nature, health, or the people around them. In a recent study, McCullough and his team tested several different gratitude activities. They asked people to write texts or letters of thanks, to write lists of things they were thankful for, or to imagine their lives without the good things they have. Then they evaluated (评估) how these activities affected people’s emotions. The results showed that writing a letter or text to a real person lifted positive emotions the most while writing lists of things one is thankful for lifted them the least. Falling in the middle was a mental task, in which people listed five things they felt thankful for and then imagined their lives without those things. Then choosing the right gratitude activity may need some self-reflection. Different people may find different activities work best for them. Someone who doesn’t like writing notes could send a quick text instead. Someone who likes art could draw or take a photo of something they feel thankful for. But here is a warning: without attention to gratitude, negative emotions can easily take over. Researchers found that children were better at punishing those who wronged them than thanking those who helped them. “Gratitude has to be taught. It’s not natural,” says Nadia Chemyak, a psychologist. “Yet grudges (怨恨) are really natural.” And for those who prefer complaining over gratitude: be careful. Most control conditions in McCullough’s study had no effect on emotions, but one condition — listing daily worries — caused positive emotions to plummet. “If you want to make somebody upset, we know just the trick,” McCullough jokes. So next time ask yourself: Do I want joy or sadness? Then choose your actions accordingly. 25. According to McCullough’s study, which gratitude activity lifted positive emotions the most? A. Making a list of things one feels thankful for. B. Writing down the worries one faces every day. C. Imagining life without the good things one has. D. Sending a thank-you message or letter to someone. 26. The underlined word “plummet” in Paragraph 7 probably means ________. A. drop sharply B. rise quickly C. stay the same D. change slowly 27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Gratitude: How Does It Affect Our Well-being? B. Gratitude: A Simple Path to Happiness, If Practiced C. Gratitude: Why Does It Matter More Than Complaining? D. Gratitude: The Best Way to Treat Mental Health Problems 【答案】25. D 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了感恩的定义、McCullough团队关于不同感恩活动对情绪影响的研究结果，以及练习感恩的建议和注意事项，强调了通过练习感恩获得快乐的重要性。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第4段“writing a letter or text to a real person lifted positive emotions the most”可知，给真人写信或发信息最能提升积极情绪。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第7段“If you want to make somebody upset, we know just the trick”可知，列出日常担忧会让人心烦，意味着积极情绪会急剧下降，符合选项A的含义。 【27题详解】 最佳标题题。根据文章第1段“gratitude can bring ‘small moments of joy’”及全文内容可推知，文章核心在于通过练习感恩获得快乐，选项B最能概括全文主旨。 六、（每小题2分，共8分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 When we feel upset or worried, many of us choose to hide our true feelings. We put on a happy face in front of classmates or family because we fear that showing sadness will make others think we are weak. However, keeping bad feelings inside for a long time is not a wise choice. Many youth psychology experts explain that our feelings are not about good or bad. Anger, disappointment and sadness are just normal human responses to hard situations. “Acting like everything is fine does not make the trouble go away. Instead, it may make small worries grow into bigger trouble,” they say. This does not mean we should burst into anger whenever something goes wrong. It is about finding safe and proper ways to deal with our inner feelings. Some teenagers choose to write down their thoughts in diaries. Some talk to trusted friends or family members. Others take a walk or go for a run to let pressure out. These activities do not solve the real problems at once, but they clear our minds so we can think more calmly. Lots of students worry: “If I share my bad feelings, will I become a burden to other people?” Experts offer this piece of advice. True friendship is not only about sharing joy. It also includes supporting each other through hard times. Of course, if you are not ready to speak out, it is also OK to give yourself some quiet time. Self-care is not about always staying happy. It is about treating your own feelings honestly. You do not have to smile all the time. It is completely all right to have a bad day. 28. Why do we put on a happy face in front of classmates or family? _______________________________________________________ 29. What will happen if we act like everything is fine? _______________________________________________________ 30. What activities can teenagers do to deal with their inner feelings in proper and safe ways? _______________________________________________________ 31. Would you like to share your bad feelings with your friends or family? Why or why not? _______________________________________________________ 【答案】28. Because we fear that showing sadness will make others think we are weak. 29. It may make small worries grow into bigger trouble. 30. They can write down their thoughts in diaries, talk to trusted friends or family members, or take a walk or go for a run. 31. Yes, I would. Because true friendship includes supporting each other through hard times. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了青少年面对负面情绪时的常见做法及专家的建议，强调了诚实对待自己的感受并通过适当方式宣泄的重要性。 【28题详解】 文章第一段指出“We put on a happy face in front of classmates or family because we fear that showing sadness will make others think we are weak.”，因此答案为原文直接信息。 【29题详解】 文章第二段指出“Instead, it may make small worries grow into bigger trouble”，因此答案为原文直接信息。 【30题详解】 文章第三段指出“Some teenagers choose to write down their thoughts in diaries. Some talk to trusted friends or family members. Others take a walk or go for a run to let pressure out.”，答案整合原文为“They can write down their thoughts in diaries, talk to trusted friends or family members, or take a walk or go for a run.”。 【31题详解】 本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，但观点需基于文中事实。根据原文第四段“True friendship is not only about sharing joy. It also includes supporting each other through hard times.”，合理表达看法并说明理由即可。 书面表达（共26分） 七、根据句意和音标填写单词。（每小题1分，共5分） 32. Hard times can ________ /test/ our friendship. 【答案】test 【解析】 【详解】句意：艰难的时光能考验我们的友谊。根据所给音标 /test/ 可知，此处应填动词 test，意为“考验；测试”。前面是情态动词can，后面应该用动词原形test。 33. We should take ________ /'ækʃən/ to protect the earth. 【答案】action 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们应该采取行动保护地球。 根据音标/ˈækʃən/可知，对应的英文单词是“action”，固定搭配“take action”表示“采取行动”，符合句意，故填action。 34. It is fun to ________ /ɪn'vent/ new things to make our life easier. 【答案】invent 【解析】 【详解】句意：发明新东西来让我们的生活更轻松是很有趣的。根据音标可知英文表达是invent，动词，意为“发明”，“It”是形式主语，此处用不定式to invent作真正的主语。 35. Please ________ /step/ carefully. The floor is wet. 【答案】step 【解析】 【详解】句意：请小心走。地板是湿的。根据音标/step/可知单词为step，意为“迈步、行走”，动词作谓语。故填step。 36. She plays an important ________ /rəʊl/ in the team. 【答案】role 【解析】 【详解】句意：她在队里扮演着重要的角色。根据音标提示可知英文表达是role，名词，意为“角色，作用”，play an important role in是固定搭配，表示“在……中扮演重要角色、在……中起重要作用”。 八、用括号内词的适当形式填空。（每小题1分，共5分） 37. My grandfather enjoys ________ (fix) old clocks in his free time. 【答案】fixing 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的祖父在空闲时间喜欢修理旧钟表。“fix”是动词，意为“修理”。固定搭配“enjoy doing sth.”意为“喜欢做某事”，后接动词时需用动名词形式（-ing）。故填fixing。 38. He felt __________ (comfort) when his friend supported him. 【答案】comfortable 【解析】 【详解】句意：当他的朋友支持他时，他感到很舒适。根据提示可知，此处填形容词作表语，comfort的形容词形式“comfortable”符合语境。故填comfortable。 39. I ________ (true) believe you are telling the truth. 【答案】truly 【解析】 【详解】句意：我由衷地相信你在说实话。空格在句中修饰谓语动词believe，需填入副词作状语。所给词true为形容词，意为“真实的”，其对应的副词形式为truly，意为“真正地；由衷地”，方法为去掉末尾字母e再加-ly。 40. I decided ________ (go) abroad for further study. 【答案】to go 【解析】 【详解】句意：我决定出国深造。go abroad意为“出国”，是固定短语，go是动词，decide to do sth.是固定短语，意为“决定做某事”，因此，此处用动词不定式to do作宾语。 41. At last, both sides reached ________ (agree) on the plan. 【答案】agreement 【解析】 【详解】句意：最后，双方就这项计划达成了协议。题干给出的agree是动词，表示“同意”。空格前是动词reach的过去式reached，reach是及物动词，后面需要接名词作宾语。因此要把动词agree变成名词agreement“协议、一致意见”。固定搭配reach agreement on sth.表示“就某事达成协议、达成一致”，名词使用单数形式即可。故填agreement。 九、根据中文意思和英文提示词语写出句子。（每小题2分，共6分） 42. 只要你努力学习，你就能取得进步。（as long as，make progress） ______________________________________________ 【答案】 As long as you study hard, you can make progress. 【解析】 【详解】“只要你努力学习，你就能取得进步。” 译为As long as you study hard, you can make progress。 其中“只要”用连词短语as long as引导条件状语从句；“你努力学习”译为you study hard，从句用一般现在时；“你能取得进步”中“能”用情态动词can表示，主句谓语部分“取得进步”用固定短语make progress表达。 43. 学会做出我们自己的选择是有必要的。（necessary，make one’s own choices） ______________________________________________ 【答案】 It is necessary to learn to make our own choices. 【解析】 【详解】“学会做出我们自己的选择是有必要的。”译为“It is necessary to learn to make our own choices.” 此处是固定句型“It’s + 形容词 + to do sth.”，其中it指代真正主语不定式结构。necessary“必要的”，形容词作表语；to learn to make our own choices“学会做出我们自己的选择”。 44. 这个男孩兴奋得说不出话来。（so...that...） ______________________________________________ 【答案】 The boy was so excited that he couldn’t speak. 【解析】 【详解】“这个男孩兴奋得说不出话来”译为“The boy was so excited that he couldn’t speak.”。“这个男孩”表达为The boy，作主语；句子描述过去状态，时态用一般过去时，主语为单数，be动词用“was”；“兴奋”表达为excited；根据提示词“so...that...”，可知，此处应表达为so excited that，that后引导从句；从句中主语he指代前文the boy；谓语“说不出话来”表达为couldn’t speak。 十、文段表达（10分） 45. 根据所给的中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数，所给提示词语仅供选用，请不要写出真实的校名、姓名和地名。 在追求目标的过程中，我们难免会遇到想要放弃的时刻 — 也许是努力了很久却看不到进步，也许是试了一次又一次仍然失败。但每一次坚持，都可能让我们离目标更近一步。 某英文网站正在开展以“Keep Going and I Made It”为主题的征文活动。假设你是李华，请用英语写一篇短文投稿，讲述一次你通过坚持最终克服困难的经历，以及你的收获。 提示词语：learn, hard，practice, want to give up，keep on, proud 提示问题：● What difficulty did you face? ● What did you do to keep going? ● What have you learned from this experience? Keep Going and I Made It I still remember how hard it was for me to _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 例文 Keep Going and I Made It I still remember how hard it was for me to learn to play the piano.

As AI tools become more common, fake images and false headlines are also spreading quickly. While AI can help people spot (发现) fake content, using it too often may cause users to lose their own judgment skills. In the four-week study published in April, researchers followed 67 people. They asked them to decide if pairs of news headlines and photos were real or fake. AI assistants were helpful in finding fakes. However, people who depended on AI too much became worse at spotting misinformation later when they had to work alone. The study also found that AI usually focuses on giving a correct answer, rather than helping users learn to think critically. This habit, researchers say, could make people’s judgment worse over time. “When we use AI, we feel we are getting better at certain tasks — but studies show we are not, “says Anku Rani, a PhD student at MIT and a lead author of the study. During the experiment, some participants used an AI assistant connected to Google Search, while others worked without help. The AI could give hints, such as telling a user to look closely at something in a photo to see if it was fake. The results showed a clear trade-off. Using AI gave people a 21% better chance of making the right judgment right away. But when they later judged new images without AI’s assistance, their accuracy dropped by 15.3% in the fourth week. This suggests that while AI helps in the short term, it may harm long-term skills in finding misinformation. Worries about relying too much on technology are not new. Calculators have weakened people’s ability to do math in their heads, and GPS tools have made it harder for people to navigate without help. A 2025 medical study found that doctors who used AI to detect cancer later became worse at it on their own. A brain scientist has also warned that letting AI do too much thinking may weaken the brain’s ability. The MIT researchers say that how an AI system behaves is important. Users often want fast and certain answers, but chatbots that simply tell people what to do can hurt independent thinking. About one-quarter of the participants believed their skills were improving, even though their real performance was getting worse. The study has some limits. Most participants were from the US and the UK, and the experiment lasted only four weeks. Longer studies with more diverse groups are needed to see if this problem happens across different cultures. Still, the findings are important for teachers, students, and the public. As fake news and doubtful claims flood the internet, it is important that AI tools should be designed to build critical thinking, not just to do the thinking for us. 46. What can we learn from the passage? A. Tasks can be better completed when AI tools are used freely. B. Over-reliance on AI chatbots to check facts may weaken people’s ability to tell real information online. C. People should avoid using AI tools to check information online. D. Working with AI can help solve the problem of misinformation in the long term. 47. According to the study, what trade-off did AI assistance bring? A. It put users into a situation of making equal choices. B. It raised short-term accuracy but hurt long-term skills. C. It made it possible for people to create a win-win situation. D. It lifted independent judgment skills instead of decreasing them. 48. Why does the writer mention calculators and GPS tools? A. To suggest using old tools rather than AI. B. To prove AI is more useful and advanced. C. To compare their accuracy with that of AI. D. To show technology weakens human abilities. 根据短文内容回答问题。 49. According to the four-week study, what problems may depending on AI too much cause? What suggestions does the writer give on the design of AI tools? Why do you think the suggestions will be helpful? __________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】46. B 47. B 48. D 49. It may weaken people’s judgment skills.

Calculators have weakened people’s ability to do math in their heads, and GPS tools have made it harder for people to navigate without help.”可知，作者列举计算器与定位工具的例子，是为了说明技术会弱化人类自身能力。 【49题详解】 根据文章第一段“A new study from MIT finds that relying too much on AI chatbots to check facts can actually weaken a person’s ability to tell what is real online.”以及第四段“But when they later judged new images without AI’s assistance, their accuracy dropped by 15.3% in the fourth week.”最后一段“it is important that AI tools should be designed to build critical thinking, not just to do the thinking for us.”，答案整合三处要点为“It may weaken people’s judgment skills. AI tools should be designed to build critical thinking. Because this helps users learn to think independently.”。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年度第一学期期中练习题 年级：初二 科目：英语 班级：________姓名：________ 考生须知 1．本试卷共11页。正卷共十道大题，57个小题，满分90分；附加卷共一道大题，4个小题，满分10分。考试时间100分钟。 2．请在试卷和答题纸上准确填写班级、姓名。 3．答案一律填写在答题纸上，在试卷上作答无效。 4．考试结束，将试卷和答题纸一并交回。 听力理解（共20分） 一、听对话或独白，根据对话或独白的内容，从下面各题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。每段对话或独白你将听两遍。（每小题1.5分，共12分） 请听一段对话，完成第1至第2小题。 1.

Many of us find it hard to build good relationships, especially when we meet people with different personalities. I once had a classmate, Mia. She was quiet and lonely most of the time. Most of my classmates thought of her as cold and unkind. As a result, she seldom took part in group activities. I also kept my social distance from her at first. One day, our teacher asked us to work in pairs for a project. To my surprise, Mia and I were a pair. I felt nervous, worrying that our teamwork would be ____11____. However, things turned out quite differently. When we started talking, I discovered that Mia was not cold at all. She was just ____12____ to open up to strangers. She had rich thoughts and was deeply lost in her own world. As we worked together, I gradually learned to understand her way of thinking. Instead of judging her by her outer appearance, I tried to see the real person inside. Slowly, we became good friends. This experience taught me an important lesson: getting along with others is not about finding people who are just like us. It is about learning to ____13____ differences. Everyone has their own way of showing feelings. Some people are outgoing and talkative, while others prefer to stay ____14____. Too often, we make quick ____15____ about others based on first impressions. We may miss the good qualities behind a person’s surface. True friendship requires trust and patience. We should give others a ____16____ to show their true selves. In our daily life, we will ____17____ different kinds of people. We cannot expect everyone to ____18____ our style. When we learn to accept and understand others, we will get more happiness from our relationships. 11. A. successful B. difficult C. easy D. meaningful 12. A. willing B. ready C. afraid D. sad 13. A. create B. accept C. avoid D. cause 14. A. noisy B. active C. silent D. calm 15. A. decisions B. choices C. judgments D. promises 16. A. chance B. task C. reason D. try 17.

She loved to think about inventions day and night. She used different tools and recycled things to create new objects, like headphones to keep her ears warm and an umbrella that you don’t need to hold in your hand. She lived on a quiet apple farm. One afternoon, her father said, “Bella, could you invent something to help me? The apple trees are too high. I get tired of using a ladder (梯子) to pick apples. Can you make an invention to help me pick apples?” “Of course, Dad!” Bella answered. Then she realized she didn’t have an invention for picking apples yet. That night, she had a surprising dream. In her dream, she jumped very high. The next morning, she knew exactly what to invent. She made springs (弹簧) and glued them under her sports shoes. She also wore her sun hat to stay away from the heat and went out to test her new shoes. At first she made small, slow jumps. Soon she jumped higher and faster. Suddenly, the sun hat got caught in an apple tree. Bella hung there in the tree like an apple and shouted, “Help!” Her father heard her shout and ran towards her. “Bella! Are you okay?” he shouted worriedly. “Yes, Dad!” she shouted out. “I have good news! I invented shoes with springs to jump and help pick apples from tall trees! The shoes work great, but don’t wear the shoes with the sun hat!” Her father got a ladder and helped her down. He studied the spring shoes with great interest. Bella felt a bit embarrassed (尴尬) but mostly excited. As they walked back to the house, Bella felt a sense of achievement. She really did it — helping her father pick those hard-to-reach apples. 22. Why did Bella’s father want her to make an invention? A. He needed new shoes for climbing trees. B. He wanted to have a hands-free umbrella. C. He hoped to stop apples from falling down. D. He felt tired while picking apples with a ladder. 23. What happened when Bella tested her spring shoes? A. Her spring shoes broke while jumping. B. Her sun hat got caught in the tree. C. An apple fell from the tree and hit her on the head. D. She jumped too high and couldn’t climb down by herself. 24. What do you think of Bella? A. She is shy and quiet. B. She is lazy and careless. C. She is creative and helpful. D. She is forgetful and dishonest. C Gratitude may not be the best way of treating serious mental health challenges, research suggests. But gratitude can bring “small moments of joy,” says McCullough, a social psychologist at the University of California, San Diego. And a daily gratitude practice could allow those small moments to add up to something larger. But what exactly is gratitude? Gratitude is not just about saying “thank you.” It is a feeling of thanks toward someone or something. For a long time, people thought of gratitude as giving thanks to another person to repay a social debt. In other words, “You scratch (挠) my back, and I’ll scratch yours.” In fact, it also means being thankful for the good things in life, such as nature, health, or the people around them. In a recent study, McCullough and his team tested several different gratitude activities. They asked people to write texts or letters of thanks, to write lists of things they were thankful for, or to imagine their lives without the good things they have. Then they evaluated (评估) how these activities affected people’s emotions. The results showed that writing a letter or text to a real person lifted positive emotions the most while writing lists of things one is thankful for lifted them the least. Falling in the middle was a mental task, in which people listed five things they felt thankful for and then imagined their lives without those things. Then choosing the right gratitude activity may need some self-reflection. Different people may find different activities work best for them. Someone who doesn’t like writing notes could send a quick text instead. Someone who likes art could draw or take a photo of something they feel thankful for. But here is a warning: without attention to gratitude, negative emotions can easily take over. Researchers found that children were better at punishing those who wronged them than thanking those who helped them. “Gratitude has to be taught. It’s not natural,” says Nadia Chemyak, a psychologist. “Yet grudges (怨恨) are really natural.” And for those who prefer complaining over gratitude: be careful. Most control conditions in McCullough’s study had no effect on emotions, but one condition — listing daily worries — caused positive emotions to plummet. “If you want to make somebody upset, we know just the trick,” McCullough jokes. So next time ask yourself: Do I want joy or sadness? Then choose your actions accordingly. 25. According to McCullough’s study, which gratitude activity lifted positive emotions the most? A. Making a list of things one feels thankful for. B. Writing down the worries one faces every day. C. Imagining life without the good things one has. D. Sending a thank-you message or letter to someone. 26. The underlined word “plummet” in Paragraph 7 probably means ________. A. drop sharply B. rise quickly C. stay the same D. change slowly 27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Gratitude: How Does It Affect Our Well-being? B. Gratitude: A Simple Path to Happiness, If Practiced C. Gratitude: Why Does It Matter More Than Complaining? D. Gratitude: The Best Way to Treat Mental Health Problems 六、（每小题2分，共8分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 When we feel upset or worried, many of us choose to hide our true feelings. We put on a happy face in front of classmates or family because we fear that showing sadness will make others think we are weak. However, keeping bad feelings inside for a long time is not a wise choice. Many youth psychology experts explain that our feelings are not about good or bad. Anger, disappointment and sadness are just normal human responses to hard situations. “Acting like everything is fine does not make the trouble go away. Instead, it may make small worries grow into bigger trouble,” they say. This does not mean we should burst into anger whenever something goes wrong. It is about finding safe and proper ways to deal with our inner feelings. Some teenagers choose to write down their thoughts in diaries. Some talk to trusted friends or family members. Others take a walk or go for a run to let pressure out. These activities do not solve the real problems at once, but they clear our minds so we can think more calmly. Lots of students worry: “If I share my bad feelings, will I become a burden to other people?” Experts offer this piece of advice. True friendship is not only about sharing joy. It also includes supporting each other through hard times. Of course, if you are not ready to speak out, it is also OK to give yourself some quiet time. Self-care is not about always staying happy. It is about treating your own feelings honestly. You do not have to smile all the time. It is completely all right to have a bad day. 28.
