一.阅读理解(共15小题)
1.(2023 巴中) Most of us spend all day at school or work.After a long and busy day,all we want to do is to return to a comfortable home.Smart technology can turn any home into a nicer place to live in.
Smart homes have been around for some time.A company called Pico Electronics invented a type of technology called X10 in 1975.As the earliest smart home technology,it allows household devices(家用设备),such as lights and alarms,to communicate with each other by using radio waves.
Of course,5 G network connectivity has made smart homes much more complicated(复杂的) than X10.Perhaps the most popular smart home technology is the voice﹣activated assistant.Users are allowed to communicate with almost any device in their homes simply by speaking a few words.This is especially convenient for children and people with disabilities,as the devices can help them finish tasks that would normally be too difficult.
Common household devices can become"smart"as well.For example,smart fridges can create dinner recipes with the vegetables that are being kept inside.
But smart homes are not just about convenience. They are also good for the environment.By regularly checking your energy use and automatically(自动地) turning off lights and other devices that you're using,smart homes can lower much electricity you use.Using less energy means that we use fewer natural resources(自然资源),which is good for the environment.
(1)The earliest smart home technology is .
A.X10
B.radio waves
C.smart fridges
D.5 G network
(2)The underlined word "voice﹣activated" in Paragraph 3 means" "in Chinese.

(4)What does the underlined word "They" in Paragraph 5 refer to(指代)?
A.Smart homes.
B.Natural resources.
C.Networks.
D.Devices.
(5)The passage is mainly about .
A.5 G network can completely change the world
B.smart homes make people live better

D.smart homes make people use more energy
2.(2023 明光市二模)Have you ever read the book The Sounds of Life:How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants?It talks about how AI is helping us to understand animals.
All around the animal kingdom,there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and decipher(破译).Elephants,for example,talk with each other,but we can't hear—far below our human sound.Coral in the ocean also sends sound waves(波) to pull baby coral to safer areas to grow.This is surprising as coral doesn't have any ears!Scientists have placed listening equipment(设备) into these environments to pick up the sounds humans cannot hear.
After the sounds are recorded,AI can study their meanings.For example,researchers used AI to translate bats'15,000 calls.They found that more than 60 percent were arguments about four things:food,sleep positions(姿势),personal space,and unwanted love.
This technology can not only understand the animals but communicate back to them.For example,bees use dances to communicate.A research team in Germany,therefore,put the bee language AI system into a robot bee.They asked the robot to create a dance routine(路线) to tell the bees where the nectar(花蜜) was.
(1)What is the book mainly about?
A.How AI helps people do translations better.
B.How AI helps people better understand animals.

C.How bats argue with each other.
D.Why AI can translate bats' sounds.
(4)How did scientists tell bees where the nectar was?
A.By training other bees to lead them there.
B.By asking a robot bee to teach them a new language.
C.By creating a certain sound with AI.
D.By making a robot bee tell the bees about the route by dancing.
3.(2023 临安区二模)ChatGPT,a new chatbot(chatting robot) model developed by a US company OpenAI,has quickly become a hit all over the world because of its advanced(高级的) abilities.
The online chatbot has been trained a lot.It can have a human﹣like conversation answering questions,finding out mistakes and refusing any improper questions.Experts say it can be used to write essays and even solve computer coding (解码).
So far,it has been used by more than 1 million users after it first appeared on November 30,2022.Gina Homolka,a food blogger,got it to write a recipe for healthy chocolate﹣chip cookies.Riley Goodside,a film﹣maker,asked it to write the script(剧本) for a Seinfeld episode.Roxana Daneshjou,a researcher at Stanford University,asked it some professional medical questions.New research found that the chatbot GPT﹣3 was able to pass the final exam for the school's Master of Business Administration (MBA) program and even got a "B".
However,there were other voices about the use of ChatGPT.A large number of students are using ChatGPT for homework assignments,creating challenges around cheating and learning.89% in the survey report that they have used it to help them finish the homework.
In the United States,public schools in New York and Seattle have decided to stop ChatGPT from their devices and WiFi networks.In France,the famous Sciences Po university in Paris has also just announced a strict ban(禁令) on its use.
Actually,it's too soon to say what kind of influence ChatGPT will have on our lives.It has along way to go and big ideas yet to discover.We will stumble along the way,but we are sure to learn a lot if using it wisely.After all,it has opened a door to the future.

4.(2024春 集美区期末) We've all heard of smart phones,but how about smart clothing?A company called Cute Circuit has developed new football shirts for football fans.They can help deaf football fans to "feel" the atmosphere(气氛) of the stadium(运动场)during a game.
People who have hearing problems can't listen to music as normal people do,but they can feel it.Sound is made up of microphone vibrations.Deaf people can feel vibrations with the help of some part of the brain which normal people use for hearing.
How does this amazing shirt work?Cute Circuit sets microphones around Newcastle United stadium to receive the sound of the people cheering and singing.A computer program analyses(分析) the sounds picked up and changes them into data(数据).Then it will be sent to the football shirts.Little motors(发动机)inside the shirts would vibrate.Finally,the wearer will feel the sounds of the people.
Deaf and hard﹣of﹣hearing people can also use the shirts to feel live music in the concert.The very deep musical sounds of instruments like drums and basses vibrate close to the stomach.Higher sounds from instruments like the violin,the guitar or the dizi vibrate higher around the neck and arms.Besides,the shirts can be used to feel sounds while playing video games.
The football shirts were used for the first time at St James' Park,Newcastle United stadium,on April 13th.They will be available for deaf or hard﹣of﹣hearing fans at all Newcastle matches that are played at the stadium from now on.

5.(2024春 通州区期末) Theo works day and night in the tulip(郁金香)fields in the Netherlands,never saying he is tired.How is this possible?
Theo is a robot named after Theo van der Voort,a farmer at the WAM Pennings farm.His job is to search for sick tulips and,when necessary,kill troubled ones to prevent the virus(病毒)from spreading among the plants.The work is important,especially in spring,when people from around the world come to see the colorful flowers.
There are 45 robots like Theo working in the tulip fields of the Netherlands.They walk in the fields very slowly,about one kilometer per hour,looking for sick tulips.The robots have cameras in the front and take thousands of photos of the tulips.An Al model checks the photos carefully and decides which tulips need to be killed.
In the past,this work was done by humans.Allan Visser's family has been growing tulips for three generations,and this is the second growing season that Visser has used the robot.He said it is costly—the same as a sports car—about$200,000.But I like to have the robot better,Allan said."Yeah,it is expensive,but there are fewer and fewer people who can really see the sick tulips.
H2 L Robotics is a company that makes the robots.Erik de Jong is the company's managing director."With the help of Al,they can locate(确定……的位置)the flowers that need to be taken off.But as for 'the heart of the robot',"he said,"It was the knowledge from farmers like Theo van der Voort that they put into the Al bined(结合)the knowledge of experienced tulip farmers with the Al technology,they can finally make efficient(高效的)robots."

7.(2023秋 宁海县期末)①Japanese producer of milk and dairy products came up with a clever way of encouraging (鼓励) kids to finish their milk bottles at lunch ﹣ painting the bottles with manga comics (漫画).
②Seki Milk,a milk producer and processor in Japan's Gifu Prefecture,has been serving its products to local schools.These years the company has seen the need for milk drop clearly.According to its own research,around 65% of school students were not finishing their milk bottles at lunch.This caused unnecessary food waste and also took calcium and other valuable nutrients (营养)away from students.

11.(2021秋 鹿城区校级月考)At this moment around the world,sportsmen are stepping almost naked into freezing cold rooms.Why on earth are they doing this?Because it's supposed to help them feel better.The treatment is called whole﹣body cryotherapy.
Basketball star LeBron James,soccer great Cristiano Ronaldo and boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.have all tried it.The therapy works like this.You take off everything but your underclothes.Then you put on warm socks and gloves and step into a room that looks like a shower,except your head sticks out the top.Once you're locked in,air cooled to below ﹣200℉(﹣129 ℃) fills the room.That's colder than Antarctica.You stay in for two to three minutes.
Supporters believe the freezing air helps muscles get well faster and cut down soreness other body pain.After his first cryotherapy,Phil McKenzie,a professional football player,felt noticeably better.He told Scientific American, "I felt well right away.My sleep was better. "Soon,he was using the room four times a week.Those who support cryotherapy make all kinds of wild claims about its advantages.Supposedly that freezing air can increase focus,improve the color of skin,make you happier,lose weight,slow aging,and much more .
Is there any evidence to support these unbelievable claims?No.Several small scientific studies have tried to prove whether the therapy can help muscles get well after exercise,with encouraging results.But there just isn't enough evidence to show that the therapy works.The good sides some people experience may just be the placebo effect.When a patient expects that the treatment will work well and he believes it will,he will probably think his illness has been cured after the treatment.

14.Big data(数据)is a lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program.The computer program looks for different kinds of answers or patterns in the data.Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources,such as information that comes from schools,social media sites,companies,and governments.One set of data can have people's names and addresses.
Another set can have what they like,which school they go to,and how much time they spend on the computer.
Big data can be used in many ways.The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains.This information is then used to make bus or train systems better.Some schools use big data to understand which children may need extra help in class.The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in panies use big data,too.It helps them understand who buys their products.For example,one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream.
Big data can be used for good reasons.Some hospitals use big data to predict if a baby who is born too early will get sick.The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he or she does not get sick.Big data can also be used for bad reasons.It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others,even if they have not done anything wrong.
How can big data be used for good and bad things?It is because the computer programs used to look at big data and understand it are written by people.People think in a certain way.Because they think in a certain way,they build a model of those ideas.These ideas are then used to look at the data.Sometimes,these ideas are helpful for people or businesses.Other times,bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people.

Robots Are Now Teaching English! Get ready.Robots are about to invade our classroom.From Korea to Japan to the United States,schools are putting English﹣speaking robots in front of their students.In Korea,robots are the new teaching assistants in a number of preschools and kindergartens.The young students say that the robots are fun,but are these children really learning anything? I don't think a computer will ever be able to do what a teacher does.A teacher has to be able to respond to students as individuals(个体).▲ ,and a teacher has to change his or her teaching style to fit the needs of the students.I seriously doubt that a computer will ever be able to do this even though the big data(数据) is widely used in the world.
Sara says: In my opinion,schools should spend money training human teachers rather than buying robots.Research shows that children learn more from real speakers than from recorded conversations. Keiko says: I don't think you can learn a language without real human interaction.After all,robots cannot think as humans do. Hassan says: Robots might be able to help people learn a language,but I don't think they should replace teachers because robots are just machines without human feelings. Nancy says: I think robots might be very helpful in the classroom.A child might be less afraid to make a mistake in front of a robot than in front of a real person.

参考答案与试题解析
一.阅读理解(共15小题)
1.(2023 巴中) Most of us spend all day at school or work.After a long and busy day,all we want to do is to return to a comfortable home.Smart technology can turn any home into a nicer place to live in.
Smart homes have been around for some time.A company called Pico Electronics invented a type of technology called X10 in 1975.As the earliest smart home technology,it allows household devices(家用设备),such as lights and alarms,to communicate with each other by using radio waves.
Of course,5 G network connectivity has made smart homes much more complicated(复杂的) than X10.Perhaps the most popular smart home technology is the voice﹣activated assistant.Users are allowed to communicate with almost any device in their homes simply by speaking a few words.This is especially convenient for children and people with disabilities,as the devices can help them finish tasks that would normally be too difficult.
Common household devices can become"smart"as well.For example,smart fridges can create dinner recipes with the vegetables that are being kept inside.
But smart homes are not just about convenience. They are also good for the environment.By regularly checking your energy use and automatically(自动地) turning off lights and other devices that you're using,smart homes can lower much electricity you use.Using less energy means that we use fewer natural resources(自然资源),which is good for the environment.
(1)The earliest smart home technology is A .

2.(2023 明光市二模)Have you ever read the book The Sounds of Life:How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants?It talks about how AI is helping us to understand animals.
All around the animal kingdom,there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and decipher(破译).Elephants,for example,talk with each other,but we can't hear—far below our human sound.Coral in the ocean also sends sound waves(波) to pull baby coral to safer areas to grow.This is surprising as coral doesn't have any ears!Scientists have placed listening equipment(设备) into these environments to pick up the sounds humans cannot hear.
After the sounds are recorded,AI can study their meanings.For example,researchers used AI to translate bats'15,000 calls.They found that more than 60 percent were arguments about four things:food,sleep positions(姿势),personal space,and unwanted love.
This technology can not only understand the animals but communicate back to them.For example,bees use dances to communicate.A research team in Germany,therefore,put the bee language AI system into a robot bee.They asked the robot to create a dance routine(路线) to tell the bees where the nectar(花蜜) was.

7.(2023秋 宁海县期末)①Japanese producer of milk and dairy products came up with a clever way of encouraging (鼓励) kids to finish their milk bottles at lunch ﹣ painting the bottles with manga comics (漫画).
②Seki Milk,a milk producer and processor in Japan's Gifu Prefecture,has been serving its products to local schools.These years the company has seen the need for milk drop clearly.According to its own research,around 65% of school students were not finishing their milk bottles at lunch.This caused unnecessary food waste and also took calcium and other valuable nutrients (营养)away from students.
③However,if you're a parent,you probably know that getting kids to eat healthy food isn't the easiest thing in the world.Luckily,Seki Milk came up with an original and fun way to encourage children to finish their milk﹣manga bottles.
④Seki Milk teamed up with ad agency Geometry Ogilvy Japan to create an interesting manga series.Students could only read the comics after emptying the milk bottles of their nutritious content.The manga is printed on the bottle in white paint,so it can only be seen after the bottle is emptied of milk.
⑤A video shows that ingredients on the bottles are changed into playful and often strong characters,which makes the manga's story more interesting.Butter looks like a scared ghost that other animals are all afraid of.Ice is a lovely girl,cheese acts as a monster﹣looking character,and cream appears in the air as a sweet lady with a flying umbrella.With fun characters like these,children may have to collect milk bottles to fully learn and read more about them.
⑥Although students don't have to finish the milk only to get the manga art on the bottles, ▲ .After all,we can see more and more empty milk bottles.
(1)When can the kids read the whole manga comics on the milk bottle? B
A.Before they drink the milk.
B.After they finish the milk.
C.When they drink half of the milk.
