学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________
Students in Scotland (苏格兰) can now experience what it’s like to be in outer space, under the ocean or on the top of Mount Qomolangma in their smart classroom. This is thanks to the technology of 5G. The 5G classroom is the first of its kind in the UK. The smart classroom has become an exciting learning environment. The 360-degree room creates a digital projection (数字投影). All four classroom walls and ceilings (天花板) turn the real world into an amazing experience for students.
One day, the students were lost in a new experience with an underwater lesson about the ocean. A student said his favorite part was seeing the Northern Lights. “I loved the colors,” he said. “It was as if I were seeing them in real life!” Another enjoyed the hunting experience, saying it was great to watch the animals up close.
The smart classroom will help students understand the challenging topics through 3D models. If a student has difficulty in learning, the interactive (互动的) experience will develop his imagination, creative thinking and problem-solving skills.
The power of 5G is changing education. This is important for both students and teachers. A mixed learning method can help students study better than traditional ones. Scientists hope the teaching pattern will encourage students to study more happily and even harder.
The interactive experience can also be used in colleges, gym classes and tourism. It can be used by learners of all ages.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools have become very powerful, surprising even their creators. Now, some people say there should be a pause (暂停) in AI work to make sure it doesn’t become dangerous, but not everyone agrees.
Most people have probably read a book or seen a movie or show about an AI or robot that has become so smart that it can take over the world. The AI in stories like these is known as an AGI or Artificial General Intelligence. A true AGI would be intelligent in many different areas and would be able to learn on its own.
Now, there are no AGIs. It will be many years before an AGI could possibly be created. Nowadays most AI tools are good at just one task, like answering questions, or identifying (识别) objects in photos. But scientists have worked to improve AI models, mainly by training the models on larger and larger collections of information. Those efforts are paying off. Extremely large models have surprised even their creators with what they can do.
The AI tool that’s got the most attention recently is ChatGPT, created by the company OpenAI. ChatGPT is a Large Language Model (LLM). ChatGPT allows users to “chat” with a powerful LLM. When asked a question, ChatGPT answers quickly in perfect sentences. It makes up stories and games, writes papers, programs computers, and much more. ChatGPT appears to be extremely intelligent. But really, ChatGPT is simply guessing — based on its training information — which word is most likely to come next, over and over again.
Last month, OpenAI announced a more powerful model called GPT-4. GPT-4 can create and explain jokes, and pass tests that are difficult for humans. GPT-4 was also trained on pictures, and can use them in powerful ways. For example, it can create a working website from a description and a rough (粗略的) drawing of the site.
The rapid progress of recent AI models worries some people. Last week, many computer experts released a letter calling for a six-month pause for any work on AI tools stronger than GPT-4. Not all AI experts agreed with the letter. ChatGPT has caused so much excitement that many companies are likely to keep developing powerful AI tools. But the letter has sent a strong warning that many people—including leaders—will be thinking about it carefully.
6．Which of the following sentences about “AGIs” is TRUE
A．They have brought people many real problems. B．They are too smart to take over the world.
C．They are intelligent only in the computer world. D．They needn’t be trained by humans.
7．Which of the following phrases “pay off” has the same meaning as the underlined one in Paragraph 3
A．We all know that the extra time spent studying now will pay off in the future.
B．Since he couldn’t pay off his credit cards, he left university and began working for a restaurant.
C．It’s impossible to pay off the police to let you go in our country.
D．It took the couple 30 years to pay off the money spent on their house.
8．Which of the following things can GPT-4 do but ChatGPT can’t
A．It can answer a question quickly in perfect sentences.
B．It can program computers as well as write papers.
C．It can create a website from a rough drawing.
D．It can make up stories and games.
9．What’s the best title of the passage
A．Are AGIs Becoming Too Intelligent B．Are AI Tools Becoming Too Powerful
C．Is ChatGPT Causing Too Much Excitement D．Is GPT-4 Getting Too Much Attention
It was 10:00 on a Wednesday night. Li Xiang, a 14-year-old student, sat at his desk worriedly. He had to write a 600-word book report and it must be handed in the next day. But he hadn’t read the book yet! Li opened a new AI app Deep Seek and typed in “Book report, The Old Man and the Sea.” In less than a minute, the boy had his book report.
Several days later, Li was called into his teacher’s office. Unluckily, the teacher knew about computers and AI apps. And by using the Deep Seek, he explained that although AI apps were helpful for some tasks, there was no shortcut (捷径). Li finally knew how to use AI apps in a proper way.
An AI app depends on a collection of information that someone has uploaded (上传) onto a computer system. A specially trained algorithm (算法) deals with the information to produce the type of writing someone might need. It may be useful for writing news reports, but it’s not useful for expressing your personal thoughts and ideas.
Writing is the most difficult of all the language skills. You need to be good at grammar and have a good vocabulary. Writing also requires you to think clearly. If you read the book and write the book report by yourself, you will learn a lot and express your own ideas about the story better. That’s something AI cannot do.
10．What did Li Xiang do on the night of Wednesday
A．He was busy reading the book.
B．He wrote his book report by himself.
C．He got the 600-word report with the help of Deep Seek.
11．Which word can best describe Li Xiang’s teacher
A．Brave. B．Patient. C．Humorous.
12．An AI app can do the following EXCEPT ________.
A．collecting information we upload
B．producing the type of writing we need
C．expressing our personal thoughts and ideas
13．In the last paragraph, the writer talks about the writing skills by ________.
A．giving examples B．listing facts C．asking questions
14．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Deep Seek Makes a Magic World
B．We Should Use AI Apps in a Proper Way
C．AI Apps Help Students with Study

In the modern world, computers and the Internet are getting more and more popular. Most people think they are very useful in their studies and lives.
The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big and it worked slowly. Today computers are getting smaller and smaller but working faster and faster. At the same time, our world is getting smaller and smaller because of the Internet. The Internet came into the world about twenty-five years later than computers, but it is important, too.
Many students like the Internet so much that they would not like to do anything else. They make friends on the Internet, but maybe they have never seen these friends. Some of the students are cheated by the “online friends”. Because of the Internet, some students can’t work hard at their lessons. Many of them can’t catch up with others on the school subjects. A few of them have to leave school.
We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But please remember, “Not all good things are good for you. ”

Look at your parents’ mobile phones. Can you see a small “5G” at the top Do you know what it is 5G means “5th generation mobile network (第五代移动通信技术)”.
Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it. In the 1980s, with 1G, phone calls were made for the first time. Around ten years later, 2G let us send messages. Then in the 2000s, using the Internet, listening to music, and sending emails came up in people’s lives with the development of 3G. Later, we could watch films and even buy things in the 2010s with 4G. To our surprise, 5G is coming now. What is special about 5G
Do you have online classes at home With 5G, you can have classes outside your home. The class can go as well as the ones you have at home. Students from poor places can have the chance to study just like you do.
Recently, you could see cars that can drive by themselves—you tell them where you want to go, and they take you there as fast as possible. With 5G, cars like this appear in our lives. It makes self-driving cars safer. These cars can send messages to each other and also “talk” to traffic lights.
5G networks are about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download a movie in seconds and make your video calls clearer. What’s more, VR games will become more popular with 5G. It will make the games feel even more real.

What is Artificial Intelligence(AI) It is when machines show intelligence by watching carefully, thinking and guessing. 46
Imagine you want to teach an AI program to tell if a picture is of a cat or a dog. The difference might be quite easy for you to tell. 47 First you would show the program many pictures of cats and dogs. Each time you show it a picture, you would tell it, “This is a cat.” or “This is a dog.” After the program has seen many pictures, you test it by showing it a picture. The program makes a guess based (基于) on what it learned. 48 However, just because a program can show its results the same way a human might, it does not mean the computer program is “intelligent”.
To be considered truly “intelligent”, the program needs something called a feedback loop (反馈回路). 49 But it will not be able to learn and improve over time. The feedback loop is how you tell the program if it is right or wrong. This is like when your teacher checks your homework and tells you which answers are right and which are wrong. By receiving feedback many times, the program starts to learn. The more the program learns, the more “intelligent” it gets. And it can tell the difference between cats and dogs better.
Now, your program can notice the results of its actions, remember them and change its future actions based on feedback. How clever!
根据短文内容, 从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余。
A．Without a feedback loop, the computer program can be smart.
B．It can give the right answer most of the time.
C．So AI is sometimes called machine intelligence.
D．Everyone can tell the difference between cats and dogs.
E．However, for a computer program it can be really difficult!
When you’re not at home, do many worries start to crowd your mind Did I turn the coffee maker off Did I lock the door With a smart home, you can quiet all of these worries.
A smart home offers convenience to its owners. The devices (设备) at home can connect with each other through the Internet, making the user-control functions, such as lighting and temperature.
“Haitangxiaozhen”, an Internet user from Xuzhou, Jiangsu, shared his experience of living in a smart home. He said that he usually gets off work late, so cooking used to be a big problem. But now, cooked rice waits for him at home because he can turn on the rice cooker with his phone before going home. He can also check the security camera at the door anytime through his phone. It’s very convenient for him.
During winter and summer holidays, when his child was alone at home, he used to worry about safety problems. For this reason, he specially set up a smart camera. With it, he can check if his child is OK at any time. His home also has a kitchen safety set, including smoke sensors (传感器), gas sensors and water sensors.
And these devices are really smart. They come with self-learning skills so they can learn the home owner’s time and make changes as needed. All these conveniences are making smart homes more and more popular both in China and around the world.

The Palace Museum, one of the greatest ancient wonders of China, is using modern technology to attract visitors.
Back in December 2015, a digital gallery (数字馆) at Duanmen opened in the Palace Museum. A film on the screen helps visitors learn about the museum in a short time. Then visitors can walk into a palace, seeing and touching many treasures through VR. They can even talk with ancient people with the help of AI.
In fact, digitalization of the museum started 20 years ago. In 2001 the museum first opened websites in Chinese and English. Visitors from all over the world can see the introduction and new notices online. In February 2015, the museum offered an app to show its collection. The app introduces one treasure every day. In 2018, the museum developed a program on WeChat. The program advises visitors on the best route (路线) through museum.
This year, because of the COVID-19 virus, the Palace Museum closed its door to the public on January 25. Then the museum turned to the Internet. As a result, on April 5 and 6, it provided three live-streamed (现场直播的) tours. The three tours took different routes around the Palace Museum. Two researchers from the museum became tour guides, telling people secrets and stories about the place.
What’s more, the Palace Museum has partnered with Huawei to build a smart network of 5G throughout the museum. Huawei will also use AI to help with the protection of art works.

Maybe you think artificial intelligence (AI) might one day make humans less needed or replaced. But while AI makes life easier, could it also be making us lazy thinkers According to a new study, the more humans depend on AI tools to complete their tasks, the less critical thinking (批判性思维) they do. This makes it more difficult for humans to call up the skills when they are needed.
The scientists chose 319 knowledge workers. The workers needed to report what tasks they were asked to do and how they used AI tools to complete them. They also had to report how well they could check the AI’s work and how confident they were in their own ability to complete the same task without AI.
The study found that the more workers trusted the AI to finish the task, the more they felt like they could let their hands off the wheel. This could lead to depending too much on the technology without checking it. And people may become less critical. However, when workers didn’t trust the AI much, they used their critical thinking skills more. So they could feel more confident about checking what the AI produced and improving it on their own.
The study doesn’t deny (否认) that AI can make work faster, but it does warn about the disadvantages. Balancing the benefits of AI with our own development is more important than ever. Critical thinking in the age of AI isn’t about refusing technology—it’s about using it wisely.
59．What did the new study find
A．AI is better at completing tasks.
B．AI will replace humans one day.
C．AI makes humans’ critical thinking weaker.
60．According to the study, what happens when workers trust the AI too much to complete a task
A．They may over-depend on the AI without careful checking.
B．They compare different AI tools and their works.
C．They improve their own skills by correcting the AI’s mistakes.
61．How does the writer show the study’s result in Paragraph 3
A．By listing numbers. B．By comparing facts. C．By asking questions.
62．What does the writer advise readers to do
A．Do not trust AI tools at all.
B．Do easy tasks on your own.
C．Make use of AI in a proper way.
There’s an AI robot: ChatGPT, and you’d better pay attention to it, even if you aren’t into artificial intelligence (人工智能). The tool is an AI chat robot system that OpenAI, a company, invented in 2022 to show and test what a very large, powerful AI system can achieve.
ChatGPT remembers the key information of your dialogue, using earlier questions and answers to form its next reply quickly. It gets its answers from plenty of information on the Internet.
You can ask ChatGPT anything, like explaining physics, asking for birthday party ideas and getting programming (编程) help. Perhaps it’s not smart enough to replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound pretty excellent. A few days after its use, more than one million people were trying out ChatGPT. The analyst Lloyd Walmsley said that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in February 2023, and did so in just two months, while TikTok spent about nine months and Instagram needed two and a half years.
ChatGPT is free to use at the moment because it is still in its research period. But when too many people use the server (服务器), it can’t process your request. It just means you should try visiting the website at a later time when fewer people are trying to use it. Because of it, OpenAI has a new plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allows users to have better experiences even during the busiest time. This service does come at a cost of $19.99/month.
However, ________ ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence robot that provides ways to solve your questions, but Google is a search engine in which you can search for as much information as possible, ChatGPT has limited knowledge because of its programming, but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated (更新) every day.
63．What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about
A．How ChatGPT works. B．Where ChatGPT is invented.
C．Why ChatGPT is designed. D．When ChatGPT is developed.
64．Why does the writer list numbers in Paragraph 3
A．To show that artificial intelligence is creative.
B．To show that the cost of inventing ChatGPT is high.
C．To show that ChatGPT is more popular.
D．To show that developing chatting rooms online is necessary.
65．Which of the following can be put in ________
A．ChatGPT can not replace Google.
B．ChatGPT can provide replies to any question.
C．ChatGPT can update information at any time.
D．ChatGPT can search more information than Google.
The company OpenAI introduced ChatGPT to the world. It is the latest kind of AI chatbots (聊天机器人). Anyone can use ChatGPT for free now so that the company can collect people’s ideas on how to improve it.
People have tested how ChatGPT works. Reporters found out that it was able to write articles for newspapers. Teachers asked it to write answers to exam questions. ChatGPT could almost get full marks. Even programmers tried out ChatGPT. It was able to solve difficult coding (编程) challenges and answer very quickly. In our everyday life, it helped a father come up with ideas of a birthday party for his son.
What’s more, when people ask ChatGPT questions, it can find mistakes. If it is asked what happened when Columbus (哥伦布) arrived in America in 2023, older AIs might give a story. ChatGPT can point out that Columbus reached America in the 1400s. It can also refuse to answer questions that are not proper. For example, if you ask it for advice on stealing a car, it will say that stealing a car is a serious crime and can have bad results. Instead, it gives advice such as “taking the bus”.
ChatGPT might help people solve problems, but AI is trained by using texts from the Internet. Often, the texts are used without being allowed by the writers of those texts. Some argue that technology doesn’t respect people’s work. Some argue that people will use ChatGPT to copy others’ work and sell it as their own. Some think AI technology is bad for the earth, too. Training ChatGPT might produce CO2 and lead to climate (气候) change that will heat up the earth.

In a world where technology is king, it is getting more and more difficult to keep up with the‘R’s—VR, AR, MR, XR and the list goes on.
Many people have trouble telling the differences between AR and VR. AR and VR mean that we experience something that isn’t there, but it feels like it is. At the heart of AR and VR are two very similar technologies.Both offer experiences to users, most widely used in areas such as online shopping and amusements.
★ The main difference lies in the way of transport （运输）. VR “transports” the user to another world instead of the real one. It uses computer technology to create a 3 D environment. Users not only watch a screen in front of them, but also use as many senses as possible, such as seeing,hearing, touch, even smell. VR is used widely in many theme parks, like Disneyland.Imagine opening your eyes and seeing a new world created by the computer all around you; you can move in this environment and even communicate with it. That’s what VR is like. For example, VR has the power to make users feel as if they are falling.So sometimes while playing games, users become nervous and even scared.
Users of AR would not be “transported” to another world but instead, they would see something created by computers. For example, with AR, you could point your smartphone camera at an old building and see the historical facts of it on the screen. AR makes it possible to create many interesting apps, such as the navigation （导航）.
Thanks to new technology and successful game AR and VR users already have a lot of choices. AR and VR are both powerful technologies which are still relatively new to many users. However, they have already begun to shake things up in the gaming world. The worlds of AR and VR aren’t just here, they’re getting bigger and better by the day.
71．What can AR and VR both do
A．Bring a 3 D environment. B．Provide experiences for users.
C．Let users experience a real world. D．Improve science and technology.
72．Which of the following can be put in ★
A．Then, AR and VR can be well known. B．However, AR and VR can be different
C．So, AR and VR create different worlds. D．Besides, AR and VR will be widely used.
73．Who is most probably using the technology of AR
A．B． C．D．
74．What can we know about AR and VR from the last paragraph
A．They are powerful and can go further. B．They have two different technologies.
C．They will be less popular with people. D．They must change people’s way of life.
75．What may the next paragraph talk about
A．The influence on children. B．The development of 3 D．
C．The future of AR and VR. D．The history of AR and VR.
Recently, a Chinese technology company called DeepSeek has caught global attention. It mainly focuses on artificial intelligence (AI) as well as big data and aims to solve problems in areas like education, healthcare, and finance (财政). The DeepSeek’s AI is designed to make life easier and more productive, but we still need to treat it in a reasonable way.
What can DeepSeek’s AI bring to us In education, DeepSeek’s AI can make learning more personalized for students by identifying strengths and weaknesses, providing study materials, and helping improve efficiency (效率). One major benefit is its ability to analyze (分析) large amounts of data quickly and accurately, which means students can receive timely feedback (反馈) and specially-designed learning plans. For example, when your teacher asks you to write a report about Wuhan, DeepSeek’s AI can help you find some useful information about this city in just a few seconds. DeepSeek’s AI can also help in healthcare by examining patients faster or in finance to help predict the market trends, thus enabling us to make the right decisions. All the things above show how this technology solves the real-world problems effectively.
▲ . First, over-reliance on this AI might reduce deep thinking ability, as students may depend on technology too much instead of solving problems independently. If the situation continues like this, our creativity and imagination will be greatly influenced. Besides, privacy (隐私) is another concern, because this AI system requires a lot of data and information, which could be misused if they are not properly protected. For example, in February 2025, DeepSeek was hit by a cyber-attack. The attackers stole a lot of users’ information. Additionally, this AI technology can be expensive, making it difficult for everyone to afford it, which may cause inequality.
DeepSeek’s AI offers many benefits, such as improving education and solving complex problems. However, as we all know, “Every coin has double sides”, it also has its drawbacks, including potential (潜在的) over-reliance, privacy risks, and high costs. As students, it’s important to use such technology wisely and stay aware of its limitations. Balancing its advantages and disadvantages can help us make the most of AI in the future.
76．According to the passage, in which ways, does DeepSeek’s AI help solve the real-world problems effectively
① in treating the patient faster ② in predicting the market trends ③ in giving students quick feedback
④ in offering study materials ⑤ in doing homework for students
A．①②③ B．②③⑤ C．②③④ D．①②④
77．Which sentence can be put into ▲
A．DeepSeek’s AI can also influence our thinking ability B．The efficiency of DeepSeek’s AI really helps us a lot
C．With DeepSeek’s AI, our life will be in a mess D．However, there are still downsides of DeepSeek’s AI
78．Why is “cyber-attack” mentioned in paragraph 3
A．To show that DeepSeek’s AI is popular among people.
B．To show that DeepSeek’s AI can always bring us troubles.
C．To show that DeepSeek’s AI can’t be protected properly.
D．To show that DeepSeek’s AI might put our privacy at risk.
79．According to the passage, which of the following about DeepSeek’s AI is true
A．It can help identify students’ strong and weak points. B．It can offer us useful information in a few hours.
C．It is affordable for everyone of us. D．Relying on it will reduce deep thinking ability.
Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) has been making waves in the art world. AI image-making tools such as Midjourney and DALL-E 2 can now make amazing digital paintings. How do they work
For DALL-E 2, the AI is fed huge collections of artworks. The program finds patterns (模式) in the pictures and, after a while, learns which features (特征) are important, such as people, animals, objects, styles, or colors. Then it can produce images (图像) that keep the key features and produce a good result. The app produces a lot of images at the same time but chooses the most accurate (准确的) ones for the user to choose from.
These days, anyone can go online or download an app to produce their own AI art. Just give the program a few keywords and choose a style, and it will create a digital painting in the style you want. This means that anyone can now create art, even if they don’t know how to paint.
Not everyone is happy about the growth of AI-generated (生成的) art. To some, it isn’t art at all because AI depends on learning from only the information it is given. The AI isn’t creating on its own. However, others think that AI is the same as humans and it is no different from any other artist.
Some people also say that AI art has no value because it is too easy. It isn’t created step-by-step by a human. Yet the same is true of photography. Just as artists of an earlier age welcomed photography, some artists today are using AI to create unique works of art. These artists find that they have to work together with the AI in exploring and experimenting—it isn’t simple at all!
At the heart of this debate (辩论) is an important question: Will AI replace human artists, or will humans learn to use AI as a tool to create great art Only time will tell.
80．People can use Midjourney and DALL-E 2 to ________.
A．collect artworks B．create paintings
C．produce image-making tools D．take digital pictures of famous paintings
81．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．A style. B．AI art. C．The program. D．A keyword.
82．Why are some people against AI-generated art
A．Because it is created step-by-step by humans.
B．Because it can help people create unique artworks.
C．Because it’s too difficult to operate the technology.
D．Because it depends on learning from information instead of creating on its own.
83．From this passage we can know the writer is ________ about the future of using AI to create art.
A．sure B．uncertain C．worried D．excited
84．What can be the best title for the text
A．High Risks of Using AI B．Artificial Intelligence in the Art World
C．The Easiest Way of Creating Art D．How to Create AI-generated Art
