Something that repeats is called a pattern. There are many patterns for you to study and learn. Look around you. Patterns are everywhere. You may see bright and colorful patterns if you look at fish in the sea. In a bee’s honeycomb, the six-sided shape is repeated many times. Some leaves always have five points on them. Listening carefully, you will find a noisy world. Dogs bark, the rain falls and the wind blows. Are these patterns? Of course! Sounds that repeat are patterns. A cricket (蟋蟀) uses its wings to make repeated chirping (啁啾叫) sounds. Do you know that a cricket’s chirp changes with the temperature? The hotter it is, the more chirps a cricket will make. Try to find out how living things grow around you. Seeds (种子) grow into plants. A butterfly begins life as an egg. Each living thing has its own pattern as it grows. When a human baby is born, it is small. With time, the baby learns to lift its head and learns to roll over. Finally, the baby learns to stand up and walk. This kind of pattern is called a pattern of development. If something happens over and over, it, too, forms a pattern. For example, you get up at 7:00 every morning. You get dressed and then eat breakfast at 7:30 a. m. If you repeat this many times, it becomes a pattern. Having a music class every Monday is a pattern. So is going to school five days a week and having Saturday and Sunday off. It seems as if the world is full of patterns. Just think—without patterns, the world would be much harder to study! 11. What makes the pattern in a bee’s honeycomb? A. The shape. B. The color. C. The taste. D. The weight. 12. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Patterns you can see. B. Patterns you can hear. C. Patterns you can smell. D. Patterns you can touch. 13. Which picture shows “a pattern of development”? A. B. C. D. 14. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to? A. Eating breakfast at 7:30. B. Getting up at 7:00. C. The morning habit. D. Going to school each weekday. 15. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A. To share knowledge of patterns. B. To discuss when patterns were found. C. To explain why patterns are beautiful. D. To show the difficulty of studying patterns. 【答案】11. A 12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了“模式（pattern）”的定义，分别从视觉可见的自然图案、听觉的声音、生物生长发展、日常重复行为四个方面介绍不同类型的模式，说明世界充满各类模式，模式让世界更易于研究。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第2段“In a bee’s honeycomb, the six-sided shape is repeated many times.”可知，蜂巢的模式由六边形的形状重复构成。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第3段“Listening carefully, you will find a noisy world...Sounds that repeat are patterns.”可知，本段围绕声音类的模式展开，介绍的是可以听到的模式。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第4段“Each living thing has its own pattern as it grows...This kind of pattern is called a pattern of development.”可知，发展模式指生物生长发育的过程模式，图片4呈现了青蛙从卵到成蛙的生长周期，符合该定义。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第5段“For example, you get up at 7:00 every morning. You get dressed and then eat breakfast at 7:30 a. m. If you repeat this many times, it becomes a pattern.”可推知，it指代前文提到的一整套早晨的日常习惯。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文对“模式”的定义、不同类型模式的介绍可推知，作者写作本文是为了向读者分享和模式相关的知识。 B Nowadays, AI is changing our daily lives in many ways. A good example is a smart restaurant in Shanghai that uses AI technology to serve customers. This restaurant shows how technology can make life easier and more interesting. The restaurant is located in the Hongqiao area. It covers about 130 square meters and serves around 300 people every day. The restaurant is especially popular. Most customers are elderly people living nearby or office workers from the area. When customers enter the restaurant, they order food on screens.

The system automatically (自动地) recognizes the dishes and calculates the total price. Payment is easy—people can use cards or online payment. The whole process is fast and only needs one or two human workers to give a hand. The prices are very low. A meat dish costs only 8 yuan, and a vegetable dish is 3.5 yuan. One elderly customer shared, “The food made by robots tastes as good as food cooked by people. It brings us a lot of convenience.” This smart restaurant shows how AI can help people in daily life.

It is filled with leaf prints, simple drawings of birds and short notes she wrote by the wetland lake. Before the new try-out policy (政策), Lin Xi only had summer and winter vacations. When her science teacher told the class they would join a school wetland trip in the November autumn break, she could hardly wait. The break fell close to a weekend, and the school invited a bird-watching guide to lead the activity. They walked along wooden paths deep in Sanyang Wetland at sunrise. The guide handed out telescopes and bird guidebooks. At first, Lin Xi could only hear soft calls hidden in the reeds (芦苇). She grew a little upset, thinking she would not see any birds at all. Just as she slowed down and calmed herself, a white egret (白鹭) silently glided over the water and landed on a mud bank. Her fingers shook slightly as she drew its shape in her notebook. Later, the group learned that many birds rest here during their long autumn journey. Students also helped clean rubbish along the bank and put up gentle reminder signs: “Please keep quiet for our feathered visitors.” Autumn breaks are being tested in Zhejiang first. Soon schools in Jiangsu, Guangdong, Sichuan and Hubei also started similar programmes. These short breaks are not meant for endless trips or fun games. They give students chances to slow down, watch carefully and build a closer tie with nature. Lin Xi says that morning at the wetland taught her one important thing: You need patience to watch carefully. She hopes more students can have such wonderful chances to meet wild beauty. 21.

Something that repeats is called a pattern. There are many patterns for you to study and learn. Look around you. Patterns are everywhere. You may see bright and colorful patterns if you look at fish in the sea. In a bee’s honeycomb, the six-sided shape is repeated many times. Some leaves always have five points on them. Listening carefully, you will find a noisy world. Dogs bark, the rain falls and the wind blows. Are these patterns? Of course! Sounds that repeat are patterns. A cricket (蟋蟀) uses its wings to make repeated chirping (啁啾叫) sounds. Do you know that a cricket’s chirp changes with the temperature? The hotter it is, the more chirps a cricket will make. Try to find out how living things grow around you. Seeds (种子) grow into plants. A butterfly begins life as an egg. Each living thing has its own pattern as it grows. When a human baby is born, it is small. With time, the baby learns to lift its head and learns to roll over. Finally, the baby learns to stand up and walk. This kind of pattern is called a pattern of development. If something happens over and over, it, too, forms a pattern. For example, you get up at 7:00 every morning. You get dressed and then eat breakfast at 7:30 a. m. If you repeat this many times, it becomes a pattern. Having a music class every Monday is a pattern. So is going to school five days a week and having Saturday and Sunday off. It seems as if the world is full of patterns. Just think—without patterns, the world would be much harder to study! 11. What makes the pattern in a bee’s honeycomb? A. The shape. B. The color. C. The taste. D. The weight. 12. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Patterns you can see. B. Patterns you can hear. C. Patterns you can smell. D. Patterns you can touch. 13. Which picture shows “a pattern of development”? A. B. C. D. 14. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to? A. Eating breakfast at 7:30. B. Getting up at 7:00. C. The morning habit. D. Going to school each weekday. 15. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A. To share knowledge of patterns. B. To discuss when patterns were found. C. To explain why patterns are beautiful. D. To show the difficulty of studying patterns. B Nowadays, AI is changing our daily lives in many ways. A good example is a smart restaurant in Shanghai that uses AI technology to serve customers. This restaurant shows how technology can make life easier and more interesting. The restaurant is located in the Hongqiao area. It covers about 130 square meters and serves around 300 people every day. The restaurant is especially popular. Most customers are elderly people living nearby or office workers from the area. When customers enter the restaurant, they order food on screens. If someone doesn’t know what to choose, a friendly robot can give him some advice. After ordering, robots start to prepare meals like Gongbao Chicken and Mapo Tofu. The robots control the cooking temperature perfectly, keeping the food warm for both eat-in and takeaway. When the meal is finished, people put their plates on a smart counter. The system automatically (自动地) recognizes the dishes and calculates the total price. Payment is easy—people can use cards or online payment. The whole process is fast and only needs one or two human workers to give a hand. The prices are very low. A meat dish costs only 8 yuan, and a vegetable dish is 3.5 yuan. One elderly customer shared, “The food made by robots tastes as good as food cooked by people. It brings us a lot of convenience.” This smart restaurant shows how AI can help people in daily life. It also makes us wonder: what else can AI do in the future? Let’s wait and see! 16. Why does the author mention the smart restaurant in paragraph 1? A. To compare different restaurants. B. To tell us the best food in the restaurant. C. To show how AI is influencing our lives. D. To describe a famous place in Shanghai. 17. What will the robots do after receiving an order? A. Take payments. B. Help the customers. C. Prepare the food. D. Offer some advice. 18. What does the underlined word “calculates” mean? A. to use numbers to find out a final number B. to write down useful information C. to tell what dishes are D. to give money back to the customers 19. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of AI? A. relaxed B. hopeful C. doubtful D. uncertain 20. Where is the text probably taken from? A. In a story book. B. In a newspaper. C. In a travel guide. D. In an encyclopedia. C Lin Xi, an eighth-grader from Wenzhou, still keeps her nature notebook from her first autumn break. It is filled with leaf prints, simple drawings of birds and short notes she wrote by the wetland lake. Before the new try-out policy (政策), Lin Xi only had summer and winter vacations. When her science teacher told the class they would join a school wetland trip in the November autumn break, she could hardly wait. The break fell close to a weekend, and the school invited a bird-watching guide to lead the activity. They walked along wooden paths deep in Sanyang Wetland at sunrise. The guide handed out telescopes and bird guidebooks. At first, Lin Xi could only hear soft calls hidden in the reeds (芦苇). She grew a little upset, thinking she would not see any birds at all. Just as she slowed down and calmed herself, a white egret (白鹭) silently glided over the water and landed on a mud bank. Her fingers shook slightly as she drew its shape in her notebook. Later, the group learned that many birds rest here during their long autumn journey. Students also helped clean rubbish along the bank and put up gentle reminder signs: “Please keep quiet for our feathered visitors.” Autumn breaks are being tested in Zhejiang first. Soon schools in Jiangsu, Guangdong, Sichuan and Hubei also started similar programmes. These short breaks are not meant for endless trips or fun games. They give students chances to slow down, watch carefully and build a closer tie with nature. Lin Xi says that morning at the wetland taught her one important thing: You need patience to watch carefully. She hopes more students can have such wonderful chances to meet wild beauty. 21. When did Lin Xi take the school trip to San’yang Wetland? A. On the weekdays. B. On the summer vacation. C. During the winter vacations. D. In the November autumn break. 22. What did the students do besides learning about birds in the wetland? A. They built wooden paths along the lake. B. They took the guidebooks home as gifts. C. They fed the birds with special food. D. They cleaned rubbish and put up reminder signs. 23. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Lin Xi drew pictures of birds in her nature notebook. B. Lin Xi saw the egret right after she got the telescope. C. Hubei was the first province to test autumn breaks. D. The autumn break lasts for a whole week. 24. Which words best describe Lin Xi’s feelings about the wetland trip? A. Upset and bored. B. Excited and pleased. C. Afraid and surprised. D. Quiet and lonely. 25. Why does the writer talk about Lin Xi’s wetland trip? A. To advise all students to keep a nature notebook. B. To tell people how to look after birds in wetlands. C. To ask more schools to start bird-watching classes every week. D. To show autumn breaks can bring students special learning experiences. 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2分) 阅读下面短文，并从方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文，使原文的意思连贯、完整。 In Chinese culture, some numbers are lucky because they sound like words with good meanings. ____26____ They can even decide people’s choices of phone numbers, addresses, and wedding dates.
