层级二 主题阅读训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A 体裁：记叙文 主题语境：科学与技术 难度：★★★☆☆
One morning, Charlie Latuske woke up feverish in his home in Surrey in the UK, leaving him unable to function and in need of a doctor. He'd had a sore throat (咽喉痛) for a few days, believing it would get better, but that morning in August 2017, he knew that he had to do something about it.
“I was quite out of it，” said 27yearold Latuske, who was also due to go on vacation with his wife in just three days.
Short on time, he feared the idea of calling his local physician only to wait days or even a week for an appointment, or to wait in a long line for an emergency appointment, “I just needed to be seen without messing around with long lines of people，” he said. “When you're that ill, that's the last thing you want to do.”
These days, this solution is somewhat easier, thanks to the Internet.
Latuske's wife showed him a private medical app with which he could see a doctor within the hour—virtually. For a fee of ￡30, he could sign up, share his symptoms (症状) and videocall a doctor in the UK using the digital health provider Push Doctor. The app is one of many now available in the UK and worldwide to help people in need of medical attention who are unable to get to a doctor for various reasons.
“I was highly skeptical，” he said, adding that he didn't trust such a service and questioned the credentials (资格) of doctors available through it.“But I was in great need of a doctor.”
Within 20 minutes, he was speaking with a doctor, who soon diagnosed him with tonsillitis (扁桃体炎).
Within the hour, he was at his nearest pharmacy (药房), collecting medicines. And three days later, he was on vacation, as planned.
“I was impressed by the efficiency of the whole thing，” he said.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Charlie Latuske利用科技求医的经历。
1．What was Latuske's concern about seeing a doctor？( )
A．He had to do a checkup.
B．He would have a long wait.
C．He had to cancel his travel plans.
D．He needed to spend lots of money.
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“he feared the idea of calling his local physician only to wait days or even a week for an appointment, or to wait in a long line for an emergency appointment”及Latuske所说的“‘I just needed to be seen without messing around with long lines of people’”可知，Latuske很发愁看医生，因为他需要等几天甚至一周才能预约上医生。他也可以预约急诊，但需要排队等候。
2．What did Latuske's wife do to help him？( )
A．She gave him some money.
B．She offered him encouragement.
C．She took him to a nearby hospital.
D．She recommended a medical app to him.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Latuske's wife showed him a private medical app with which he could see a doctor within the hour—virtually.”可知，Latuske的妻子给他推荐了一款私人医疗应用程序。
3．What does the underlined word “skeptical” in Paragraph 6 mean？( )
A．Excited. B．Thankful.
C．Doubtful. D．Annoyed.
答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。根据第六段中的“he didn't trust such a service and questioned the credentials of doctors available through it”及Latuske所说的“‘But I was in great need of a doctor.’”可知，起初，Latuske并不依赖妻子推荐的那款应用程序。由此推断，skeptical在此应表示“怀疑的”。
4．What can we learn about the new way Latuske saw a doctor？( )
A．It was highly efficient.
B．It cost a small sum of money.
C．It needed some improvement.
D．It was less useful than expected.
答案：A
解析：推断判断题。根据倒数第三段“Within 20 minutes, he was speaking with a doctor, who soon diagnosed him with tonsillitis”、倒数第二段中的“Within the hour, he was at his nearest pharmacy, collecting medicines.”及最后一段中Latuske所说的“‘I was impressed by the efficiency of the whole thing’”可知，通过妻子推荐的医疗应用程序，Latuske很快就弄清楚了自己的病情，并且买到了药。由此可推断，与传统的就医方式相比，Latuske所使用的新的问诊方式很高效。
B 体裁：说明文 主题语境：科技 难度：★★★☆☆
(2024·广东深圳高二检测) From selfdriving cars to care bots for elderly people, the rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to change businesses.
“The next fifteen years will see a change in how we work, and a change will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces，” said Peter Andrew, director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific. A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.
The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates. But the report states, “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. “The growth of companies that have the speed and technological knowledge will directly challenge big companies，” it states.
A report by Pew Research Center found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. “The optimists pictured a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create，” according to Aaron Smith, the report's coauthor. “Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been people out of work, when we reach a few billion people there will be billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change，” Jonathan Grudin told researchers.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了随着人工智能的发展，许多企业发生改变。到2025年，现有职业中近50%将完全没有必要，但是这并不意味着工作机会变少。事实上，新工作岗位可能会增长，未来人们会有更多的工作机会。

6．What will people most probably do in the future？( )
A．Take the place of AI.
B．Work in a traditional way.
C．Take up jobs requiring creativity.
D．Enjoy better and changeable workplaces.

The first American President, George Washington, worked with the city planner Pierre L'Enfant to choose the land for the new presidential home. A competition was held to find a building designer.
Nine plans were considered, and the architect James Hoban won. Construction began in 1792. The first president to live there was John Adams. He and his wife Abigail moved into the White House in 1800. During the war of 1812，British troops burned most of the inside of the White House. James Hoban helped rebuild it. Over the years，each president has made changes or additions to the building.
The White House walls are made of stone that is painted white. But the famous building has had other names over time, including the President's House and the Executive Mansion. In the early 1900s, President Theodore Roosevelt made the White House its official name.
In the 1930s，President Franklin Roosevelt decided to rebuild and expand part of the building that became known as the West Wing. Some of the public rooms in the White House are named colours. There is the Blue Room, the Green Room and the Red Room.

Last summer, I was sent to take photos that could communicate the urgency of climate change in northern Canada. When I arrived at an abandoned village on Resolute Bay, I scanned the shore with my camera. Suddenly, I spotted a bear lying on the ground. It didn't move for almost an hour. But when it finally stood up, I had to catch my breath. The bear's once strong body was just skin and bones; every step that it took was painfully slow.
When I posted the photos on social media, I wrote, “This is what starvation may look like. I wonder whether the global population of 25，000 polar bears would die the way this bear is dying.”
I did not say that this particular bear was killed by climate change. But news organizations around the world focused on it. The first line of the story published in National Geographic read, “This is what climate change looks like.” —with “climate change” highlighted in yellow. Other news agencies even adopted more dramatic headlines.
It was estimated that my photos had been read by about 2.5 billion people around the world. But there was a problem: Most people and the news agencies didn't recognize or misunderstood the real message I tried to send to them. Many people expressed gratitude that I'd provided shocking evidence on climate change, while others who are still trying to deny the existence of climate change charged me with spreading false information.
Perhaps I had made a mistake in not telling the full story—that I was looking for pictures that might foretell the future and that I didn't know what had happened to this particular polar bear.
I can't say that this bear was starving because of climate change, but I am happy that my photos have moved the conversation about climate change to the forefront, where it must remain until this problem is solved.
Until then, when I come across a scene like this one, I will again share with the world—and take pains to be sure that my intention is clear.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者拍摄饥饿的北极熊图片的经历及其引发的争议，并澄清作者分享这些照片的真实目的。

C
Felix Ruppert and Alexander BadriSprowitz at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, designed a halfmetrehigh robot called Morti and gave it the capacity to teach itself how to walk, rather than to perform a preprogrammed step. The fourlegged robot took only an hour to learn how to walk steadily, roughly the same amount of time as newborn horses need. And it's the first time that a machine learning technique has been so successfully applied to fourlegged robots.
Morti is controlled by an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm (算法) that doesn't have much information about the robot's legs, such as the exact shape of each element. “The AI, working like the central nervous system, gives walking instructions for Morti to follow. It then adjusts them on the basis of readings from foot sensors that signal when the robot falls and loses contact with the ground. Initially, Morti falls down, but after about an hour the AI finds the best way to make it walk，” said Ruppert.
Because the AI learns rather than calculating details of each leg's movement in advance, which can use a lot of energy, Morti walks using 42 percent less energy than when it first starts at the end of an hourlong learning process. Morti's process copies the way baby animals learn to move, as they also find the most efficient way to use their muscles by trying and initially tripping.
Dhireesha Kudithipudi at The University of Texas at San Antonio said that AI robots can often learn a specific task very well but can't make readjustments when the environment changes and that Morti's design, which relies on continually adjusting the robot's movements, may perform better in that regard. Ruppert said he and the team are working on adding more sensors and range of motion to Morti in a gesture to make it a more animallike robot.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款只用了一小时就学会走路的四条腿的机器人。
28．What is special about Morti？( )
A．It is preprogrammed to walk.
B．It can learn to walk by itself.
C．It is the first fourlegged robot.
D．It can help teach the newborns.
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知， Morti的特殊之处在于它可以教会自己走路， 即自学走路。故选B。
29．Which aspect of Morti is stressed in Paragraph 2？( )
A．Its body structure.
B．Its design concept.
C．Its learning process.
D．Its working conditions.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段可推知， 本段强调的是Morti学习走路的过程。故选C。
30．How does the AI's learning ability benefit Morti？( )
A．By predicting Morti's leg movements.
B．By training Morti's muscles to the best.
C．By lowering Morti's energy consumption.
D．By strengthening Morti's bond with others.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知， 人工智能的学习能力减少了Morti的能量消耗。故选C。
31．What is Dhireesha Kudithipudi's attitude towards Morti？( )
A．Doubtful. B．Cautious.
C．Subjective. D．Favorable.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，Dhireesha Kudithipudi表示， 人工智能机器人通常可以很好地学习一项特定任务， 但无法在环境变化时重新调整， Morti的设计依赖于不断调整机器人的运动， 因此它在这方面可能会表现得更好。由此判断， Dhireesha Kudithipudi对Morti应是持肯定、支持的态度。故选D。
D
We are all aware of the damaging pollution that's created by driving petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles. Many of the world's cities are blocked with traffic, creating fumes containing gases such as nitrogen oxides. The solution for a cleaner, greener future could be electric vehicles. But how optimistic should we be There was much excitement last year when the UK government announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030.But is that easier said than done
The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off. Currently, battery life is an issue—a fully charged battery won't take you as far as a full tank of petrol. There are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an EV into. Of course, technology is always improving. Some of the biggest tech companies, like Google and Tesla, are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars. And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too. Colin Herron, a consultant on lowcarbon vehicle technology, told the BBC: “The big leap forward will come with solid state batteries, which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress to cars.” These will charge more quickly and give cars a bigger range. Cost is another issue that may discourage people switching to electric power. But some countries offer incentive,__such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking. Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams.
These kinds of measures have made Norway the country with the most electric cars per capita (人均) at more than thirty electric cars per 1，000 inhabitants. But Colin Herron warns that “electric motoring” doesn't mean a zerocarbon future. “It's emissionfree motoring, but the car has to be built, the battery has to be built, and the electricity does come from somewhere.” Maybe it's time to think about making fewer journeys or using public transport.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了电动汽车更加清洁、更加环保，但是电动汽车本身有两大问题亟待解决，而且汽车电动化并不意味着零碳，实现全球交通电动化还有很长的路要走。
32．What can we infer from the question at the end of Paragraph 1？( )
A．We should not be too optimistic about the future.
B．Electric vehicles may not solve the traffic problems.
C．It's not a good idea to replace petrol vehicles with electric ones.
D．It is not easy to obtain a greener future by means of electric vehicles.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“But is that easier said than done？”可知，第一段提出疑问：英国宣布从2030年开始禁止销售新型汽油和柴油汽车，这说起来容易做起来难吗？第二段第一句“The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off.”指出实现全球交通完全电动化还有很长的路要走。由此可推测出，作者在第一段最后提出疑问是想说明用电动汽车来实现环保并不容易。
33．What does the underlined word “incentive” mean in Paragraph 2？( )
A．Payment. B．Income.
C．Encouragement. D．Method.
答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词前一句“Cost is another issue that may discourage people switching to electric power.”和画线词后的“such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking”可知，画线词后的举例是对incentive的进一步说明，通过降低进口税来降价以及不收取道路税和停车费，这些有助于降低购买和使用成本，有助于激励人们购买，incentive意为“激励措施”，与encouragement(起激励作用的事物)意思最接近。
34．Which statement is true according to the passage？( )
A．Electric motoring will create a zerocarbon future.
B．Electric cars might not get stuck in traffic jams in the future.
C．There are four obstacles on the road to global traffic being totally electric.
D．Putting solidstate batteries in electric cars first will be a “great leap forward”．
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams.”可知，电动汽车有专用通道，因此，“电动汽车在未来可能不会陷入交通堵塞”是正确的说法。
35．What is the most suitable title for the text？( )
A．Total Electric Traffic: a Long Way to Go
B．Electric Vehicles: a Road to a Greener Future
C．Electric Power or Petrol: a Tough Decision to Make
D．Petrol and Diesel Vehicles: a Main source of Gases
答案：A
解析：标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off.”可知，电动汽车更加清洁、更加环保，但实现全球交通电动化还有很长的路要走，电动汽车本身有两大问题亟待解决，而且汽车电动化并不意味着零碳。

Robots in the Future
I think more and more intelligent robots will be used in the future.
Robots will play an important role in factories. They can do some heavy and dangerous jobs there. In our daily life, robots can help us do most of the housework. They can help us do some cleaning, cooking and washing. They can also look after the elderly, babies and patients. They'll even take exercise with us.
In my opinion, robots will change our future life in many ways, making it more colorful. However, it's unwise for us to depend heavily on them. As humans' helpers，robots should be used properly.

Money had been tight, and as a single parent, I was doing the best I could. My children received almost everything on their wish lists when their father was alive, but things were different now. Blake was now thirteen years old and Allison twelve. I knew we had somewhat spoiled (宠坏) them. My feelings were hurt, but I didn't want to show it. I was also very disappointed in their reactions to their presents.
The months went by quickly. I was planning our next Christmas celebration in my head a little every day, for I was determined to teach them a lesson.
I contacted agencies to find a family that desperately needed help. They were a lowincome family, and my children needed to know they existed and what they had to go through.
That Christmas we did all the usual traditions, such as putting up a tree. But as Christmas Eve drew closer, there were still no presents under the tree.
I said that we would be giving gifts to a family that truly needed them. They needed to see what it was like to need essentials such as clothing and food. I went on to explain my disappointment in their previous actions and words.
We went shopping that weekend and bought gifts for all the children. We purchased gloves, hats, socks, shoes and coats for them. Then, we picked out age appropriate toys. We bought three toys for each child. Next, we needed coats, hats, gloves, socks and shoes for the adults. We purchased everything they would need for a nice Christmas dinner and then picked out some things to help them get through the winter.
It was the day before Christmas Eve, and the day we would deliver the food and gifts. After having breakfast, we set off.

参考范文：
We arrived at the small home of this family in need, and we were welcomed inside with smiles and appreciation. They offered drinks and bread they had just baked. We accepted the treat and took out the things we bought for them. The parents let the children put the packages under their small Christmas tree. They were picking them up, shaking them, and guessing what was inside. Allison and Blake joined the children. Before long, they were laughing and playing together. I think their hearts were full of joy to be able to give happiness to this family.
It was time to go home, and we said our goodbyes. The children gave hugs and kisses, and I could tell our visit had touched Blake and Allison. The drive home was quiet. When we arrived home and went inside, Allison looked at me and said, “Thanks, Mom.” and gave me a big hug. Then, Blake said, “Thanks, Mom, lesson learned.” “What a meaningful Christmas！” I thought to myself. I knew my children had learned a lesson that would stay with them for a long time.

层级二 主题阅读训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A体裁：说明文 主题语境：科学与技术 难度：★★★☆☆
(2024·河南实验中学高二期中) Some experts believe that cars will unavoidably be eliminated. They see a day in the nottoodistant future when all cars will be given up and allowed to rust (生锈). Other authorities, however, think the car is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the predictable future.
The car will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollutionfree than present types.
Despite its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic jams. One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system. When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (伸缩自如的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically.
Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered by the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car's movements.
The driver will use a telephone to enter instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will work out the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit on the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer (蜂鸣器) that will warn him of his coming exit. It is predicated that an automated highway will be able to deal with 10，000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1，500 to 2，000 vehicles that can be carried by a presentday highway.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了未来汽车的发展前景。
1．What does the underlined word “eliminated” in Paragraph 1 mean？( )
A．Tested out. B．Passed down.
C．Kept track of. D．Got rid of.
答案：D
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“They see a day in the nottoodistant future when all cars will be given up and allowed to rust (生锈).”可知，一些专家认为车将会被淘汰。此处eliminated意为“被淘汰”。
2．What is the author's main concern about future autos？( )
A．The pollution. B．Their operating system.
C．The jams. D．Their seating space.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Despite its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic jams.”可知，尽管未来汽车动力源发生变化，但未来的汽车仍会是城市交通堵塞最主要的问题。
3．What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system？( )
A．A rail. B．An engine.
C．A retractable arm. D．A computer center.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“a retractable (伸缩自如的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically”可知，为汽车提供电能的是轨道，这种轨道与那些用电力驱动地铁的轨道相似。
4．What need the driver do in an automated highway system？( )
A．Keep to the right route.
B．Just wait to arrive at his destination.

D．Keep in constant touch with a computer.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The driver will use a telephone to enter instructions about his destination into the system.”可知，司机需要用手机将目的地输入到系统中。
B 体裁：说明文 主题语境：电子垃圾 难度：★★★☆☆
(2024· 河南濮阳高二上期中) While electronics can make life easier and more entertaining, the devices aren't easy on the environment.
As newer, more advanced devices come out, huge amounts of old electronics are thrown away, instead of being recycled. These items often end up in landfills, where the chemicals inside them may be a danger to the environment. Electronics can contain noxious materials like lead or mercury (汞). If these materials get into the ground or water, the pollution can cause serious problems.
Most electronics require rare metals. These metals must be mined (开采) from the earth. Often the mining process creates serious pollution. In many cases, these materials are getting harder and harder to find. If more ewaste was recycled, many of those rare metals could be taken from old electronic devices instead of being mined. A group known as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Forum) is trying to make people more aware of the problems of ewaste. WEEE says that the rare metals and other materials that get thrown out as ewaste every year are worth about $57 billion.
Recently, WEEE asked researchers from the United Nations to study a kind of ewaste that's often not noticed because people don't consider the items to be electronics. The WEEE calls this type “invisible” ewaste.
The surprising type leading the invisible ewaste group was toys. Worldwide, about 7.3 billion electronic toys are thrown away each year. In all, toys make up about 35% of invisible ewaste. But the problem is far larger than just toys. The report also shows that other everyday items like alarms, power tools, and computer cables (电缆) are also big sources of invisible ewaste. The UN report says that 36% of the world's invisible ewaste comes from these three types.
WEEE is hoping that as more people and governments become aware of ewaste, they will make a much greater effort to make sure electronics get reused or recycled.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了电子垃圾的危害和隐形电子垃圾的分类，呼吁人们对电子垃圾进行再利用和回收，从而减少电子垃圾对环境产生的危害。
5．What does the underlined word “noxious” mean in Paragraph 2？( )
A．Harmful. B．Critical.
C．Powerful. D．Abnormal.
答案：A
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“If these materials get into the ground or water, the pollution can cause serious problems.”可知，此处指电子产品中含有像铅或者汞这样的有毒材料，一旦这些材料进入到土地里或者水里，就会造成严重的污染问题。故画线词意为“有毒的；有害的”，harmful与其同义。
6．How can we reduce the impact of rare metal mining on the environment？( )
A．Looking for alternative options.
B．Recycling rare metals from ewaste.
C．Buying rare metals from other countries.
D．Reducing the production of electronic devices.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中“If more ewaste was recycled, many of those rare metals could be taken from old electronic devices instead of being mined.”可推知，可以从电子垃圾中回收这些金属来减少稀有金属开采对环境的影响。
7．Which items account for the highest percentage of “invisible” ewaste？( )
A．Toys. B．Alarms.
C．Power tools. D．Computer cables.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中“The surprising type leading the invisible ewaste group was toys.”可知，玩具是隐形电子垃圾中占比最大的一类产品。
8．What is WEEE's hope for the future of ewaste？( )
A．That ewaste will soon no longer be a problem.
B．A global law on electronic devices will be issued.
C．Ewaste will be burned to avoid damage to the environment.
D．Everyone will play a part in the reusing and recycling of electronics.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段“WEEE is hoping that as more people and governments become aware of ewaste, they will make a much greater effort to make sure electronics get reused or recycled.”可知，WEEE希望每个人都会在电子产品的再利用和回收中发挥作用。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了机器人的快速发展以及对有些人担心机器人的使用会造成大规模失业观点的看法。
1．答案：was created
解析：考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：“机器人”这个词是1920年由捷克剧作家卡雷尔·恰佩克创造的。主语与谓语构成被动关系，根据句中时间状语in 1920可知，空处用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为word，谓语用单数。故填was created。
2．答案：from
解析：考查固定短语。句意：智能手机的快速创新带来了廉价的摄像头和传感器、快速的无线通信以及功能强大、体积更小的计算机芯片，机器人因此受益。此处表示“受益于”用短语benefit from。故填from。
3．答案：which
解析：考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词innovations，关系词在从句中作主语，指物。故填which。
4．答案：improvement
解析：考查名词。句意：最近对机器的改进增加了软件，使机器人更好地了解周围环境，并为它们配备了更智能的设备。空处作主语应用不可数名词improvement。故填improvement。
5．答案：informed
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：最近对机器的改进增加了软件，使机器人更好地了解周围环境，并为它们配备了更智能的设备。此处为“make＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构，且robots与inform之间是被动关系，故用过去分词作宾语补足语。故填informed。
6．答案：A
解析：考查冠词。句意：牛津大学经济学家2013年发表的一篇论文被广泛误解。根据空后的单数可数名词paper“论文”可知，空处应用表示数量“一个”的不定冠词，因为paper的发音以辅音音素开头，应用a，要大写。故填A。
7．答案：widely
解析：考查副词。句意：牛津大学经济学家2013年发表的一篇论文被广泛误解。空处修饰动词misinterpreted应用副词widely，作状语。故填widely。
8．答案：are
解析：考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：事实上，对大规模失业的担忧被夸大了。主语concerns与overblow构成被动关系，且陈述客观事实，用一般现在时的被动语态，谓语用复数。故填are。
9．答案：dealing
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：例如，受过教育的收银员会帮助顾客从走廊上挑选商品，他们很可能会发现，与有需要的人打交道比整天在激光前刷条形码更有价值。作主语，应用动词ing形式。故填dealing。
10．答案：skills
解析：考查名词复数。句意：随着工作岗位的变化，应该帮助工人获得新的技能，包括如何与机器人一起工作和管理机器人，这些机器人将越来越多地成为他们的同事。skill为可数名词，前文没有冠词故用复数形式。故填skills。

__A__体裁：记叙文__主题语境：人物故事__难度：★★★☆☆__
(2024·江西赣州中学高二10月月考) “Good morning, passengers! Welcome aboard Bus No. 38.” At 6：30 AM, the cool morning breeze blows as Feng Zhiliang, a 43yearold driver with 15 years' experience at Handan Public Transport, greets the first passengers. Seated in the driver's cab, he fastens his seatbelt, ready to set off.
Feng's recent viral video comes from his bilingual (双语的) stop announcements in Chinese and English, captivating netizens. Some remark, “It's like a luxurious flight for just two yuan！”， praising Handan's harmonious combination of tradition and modernity.
This transformation started when Feng greeted a group of foreign passengers with “Hello. Happy New Year！” during the Spring Festival. Encouraged by their positive feedback, he saw an opportunity to serve the many foreigners riding his bus. Determined to improve communication, Feng started an English learning journey.
Starting from zero, he was buried in online courses, sought English materials, and used translation software to enhance his skills. Today, his bilingual announcements reflect his dedication and Handan's cultural charm.
Each evening, after dropping off his last passengers, Feng returned home around 9：00 pm, exhausted but determined. Despite his tiredness, he'd continue studying for an hour, even making the best of his 20minute break.
Inspired by his colleagues and after three years of unstopped preparation, Feng boldly tried bilingual announcements during peak hours in early 2023.Initially nervous, he received overwhelming encouragement from passengers, strengthening his resolve to make bilingual announcements an essential part.
“Taking that first step was discouraging, but the positive feedback fueled my passion，” Feng recalled. “It's become a goal and a cherished wish.”
Now, over a year and a half later, Feng's bilingual announcements have gathered a devoted fan base. Passengers eagerly board the No. 38 bus to immerse themselves in his enriching language experience, while parents bring their children along for the educational ride. Feng's dedication has transformed his routine bus rides into linguistic adventures, captivating hearts and minds alike.

B体裁：说明文 主题语境：人工智能 难度：★★★☆☆
(2024·山东临沂高二检测) When it comes to work, workers, and jobs, much of the concern of the modern age boils down to the fear that we're witnessing the final stage of the game, and that there will be nowhere for humans to withdraw as machines take over the last few tasks. The most recent example comes from the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Is there no area of human experience that can't be replaced by AI And if not, what is left for humans to do except the tasks involved in taking care of the machines
At the heart of this concern is our desire for good jobs — jobs that make the most of workers' natural abilities and where the work provides the worker with motivation and worklife balance. More importantly, good jobs support workers in learning by doing — and, in so doing, deliver benefits on three levels: to the worker, who gains in personal development and job satisfaction; to the organization, which reforms as staff find new problems to solve and opportunities to pursue; and to the community as a whole, which harvests the economic benefits of hosting positive organizations and workers. This is what makes good jobs productive for the organization, as well as engaging and fulfilling for the worker.
Does the ongoing advance of AI threaten to get rid of all the learning, creativity, and meaning that make a job a good job Certainly, some have blamed technology for just such an outcome. Headlines today often express concern over technological innovation resulting in bad jobs for humans, or even the complete disappearance of certain professions. Some fear that further technology advancement in the workplace will result in jobs where employees are being asked to work in split times or for longer periods over more days.
The problem here isn't the technology; rather, it's the way the technology is used — and, more than that, the way people think about using it.

6．What jobs are supposed to be good according to the passage？( )
A.Those that mainly have the economic benefits.
B.The ones that offer chances to progress professionally.
C.Those that make full use of workers' motivation.
D.The ones that don't bring new problems to workers.
答案：B

7．How do news media respond to the development of AI？( )
A．Negative. B．Supportive.
