第三部分：阅读理解 (共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Family get-togethers are a great way for family members to understand the lives of each other and strengthen
family bonds. For younger family members, get-togethers can reinforce family traditions and can be learning
experiences that help them to grow and mature. Traditional family get-togethers can include a meal and an activity
such as going to see a movie. However, there are other ideas that can help make get-togethers memorable and
provide moments that enrich the lives of family members.
________
One way to make a family get-together memorable is to give it an environmentally friendly theme. A garden
can be planted, for example, including vegetables that can be eaten in future get-togethers. A tree could be planted
and called the family tree. The family get-together could also be planned for a specific place such as a community
nature center. The family could participate in an environmental project such as a neighborhood clean-up, or
cleaning streams or roadsides.
Be active
Family get-togethers can have physical activity as a main focus of the fun. Families can gather at a beach and
go swimming. Building sand castles also requires exertion, for it takes patience and imagination. Other beach
activities can include kite flying and searching for shells. A family get-together can also be planned for a park that
has a nature trail. A picnic meal can provide food, and everyone can take a hike for exercise. A family get-together
can also have a sports theme when planned for a location that has a basketball court, tennis court or some other
sporting venue. For places with snow, families can go sledding or skiing together.
Museum or Historic Site
A family get-together can also be an educational gathering. For example, a get-together planned at a museum
can provide entertainment as well as educational value. Family members can talk and catch up with one another
while touring the museum. Contact the local organization to find historical sites, which can provide memorable
scenery to a family get-together.
31. According to the passage, which of the following is a way of traditional family get-together
A. Seeing a film.
B. Planting a tree.
C. Having a picnic.
D. Visiting a historic site.
32. Which of the following is the best choice for the blank
A. Be planned.
B. Family tree.
C. Go green.
D. Community nature center.
33. What does the underlined word “exertion” in Para. 3 really mean
A. Defect. B. Effort. C. Workshop. D. Expression.
34. If you want to have fun and learn a lot, which one is your best choice
A. A family planting a family tree.
B. A family gathering at a beach.
C. A family gathering of sports theme.
D. A family gathering at a museum.
35. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To give us some advice on how to plan a family get-together
B. To introduce some ways of making family get-togethers unusual
C. To compare traditional family get-togethers with modern ones
D. To tell us why and where we often need a family get-together
【答案】31. A 32. C 33. B 34. D 35. B
B
Many believe that repairing automobiles is a man’s job, but the story of Gu Huijing is a living proof that women
can do it too.
Gu, 18, now studies at Shenzhen No.2 Vocational (职业的) and Technical School. In April, she won first prize at
a provincial competition for vehicle maintenance in Guangdong, which drew 33 teams from different cities across
the province.
Gu decided to major in automobiles in a vocational school when she was in junior high. “I clearly know my
strength and weakness,” she said. Gu thought that she would not perform well in her College Entrance Exam due to
poor performance in math if she insisted on studying in a senior high school. But Gu is insightful: She knows that
she is much more interested in robots and driverless cars.
At first, her parents were surprised and couldn’t accept her decision. But Gu persuaded them in a rational way:
Before making the decision, she researched the future development of the auto industry in her city, compared
different schools' curriculums and sought advice from seniors.
“I showed my parents that I’m really passionate about the major and take my career prospect seriously,” Gu said.
“Then they respected my decision.” Gu did what she said she would. She started learning about cars in 2019. But
she encountered many difficulties in reading the circuit diagrams (电路图). “Each model of car has its own circuit
diagrams,” she said. “It’s hard to figure out all of those diagrams in a short time.” To overcome the difficulty, Gu
had been practicing and turning to teachers whenever she had a problem. Finally, Gu achieved her “eureka (顿悟)”
moment after she studied hard for one year.
She showed her perseverance in her one-month intensive training for the competition. From 8 am to 5 pm, Gu
had her usual lessons, but at night, she attended a training camp.
Compared to her male classmates, Gu is not strong enough to carry some heavier car parts, but constant training
makes up for it. On top of that, Gu is more patient and careful than other male competitors, Li Shichuan, Gu’s
teacher, told The Paper.
“Many people are prejudiced against students from vocational schools and think vehicle maintenance is a job for
men. That’s a stereotype( 刻板印象 ). I don’t think we’re inferior( 低人一等的 ) to others and nor does gender
have something to do with the choice of occupation.”
Gu hopes to be a versatile( 全能型的 ) talent in the auto industry. “If possible, I also want to take part in the
World Skills Competition and demonstrate Chinese craftsmanship to more people,” she added.
36. Why did Gu Huijing decide to study automobiles at a vocational school
A. She wanted to show girls’ capability in automobile repair.
B. She believed her math could give her an edge.
C. She wanted to further her interest.
D. She took classes to avoid the College Entrance Exam.
37. How did Gu persuade her parents to accept her decision
A. She asked for advice from them.
B She convinced them that she took it seriously.
C. She showed them the curriculum.
D. She did research on different careers.
38. How did Gu overcome her difficulties
A. By exercising more and asking for help.
B By taking extra lessons on reading diagrams.
C. By studying the differences between circuit diagrams.
D. By attending different training camps.
39. What is Gu’s advantage over her male classmates
A. She has more support from people around her.
B. She has versatile talents in the auto industry.
C. She has better career prospects.
D. She has greater patience.
40. Who does this passage is probably intended for
A. People who lost their jobs.
B. Students who are prepared for career choice.
C. College students who are unwilling to work.
D. People who are advised to change their jobs.
【答案】36. C 37. B 38. A 39. D 40. B
C
We are encountering real-world examples of how AI can harm human relations. As digital assistants such as
Alexa or Siri become popular, we become accustomed to talking to them as though they were alive. Writing in
these pages several years ago, Judith Shulevitz described how some of us are starting to treat them as friends and
therapists (治疗专家). Shulevitz herself says she confesses (忏悔) things to Google Assistant that she wouldn’t tell
her husband. If we grow more comfortable talking to our devices about our secrets, what happens to our human
marriages and friendships Designers and programmers typically create devices whose responses make us feel
better—— but may not help us be self-reflective or think over painful truths. As AI goes deeper into our lives, we
must face the possibility that it will prevent our emotions and deep human connects.
Besides, we will fight with some other challenges. The age of driverless cars, after all, is upon us. These vehicles
promise to considerably reduce the exhaustion and distraction that put human drivers in danger, thus preventing
accidents. But what other effects might they have on people Driving is a very modern kind of social interaction,
requiring high levels of cooperation. I worry that driverless cars, by taking away from us an occasion to exercise
this ability, could contribute to its decline.
Not only will these vehicles be programmed to take over driving duties and hence to remove from humans the
power to make moral judgments (for example, about which pedestrian to hit when a crash is unavoidable), they will
also affect humans with whom they’ve had no direct contact. For instance, drivers who have steered (操纵) awhile
alongside an autonomous vehicle traveling at a steady, changeless speed might drive less attentively, thus
increasing their likelihood of accidents once they’ve moved to a part of the highway occupied only by human
drivers. Alternatively, experience may reveal that driving alongside autonomous vehicles travelling in perfect
accordance with traffic laws actually improves human performance.
Either way, we should be careful to launch new forms of AI without first taking such unexpected social effects
into account. We must apply the same effort that we apply to the hardware and software that make self-driving cars
possible to managing AI’s potential effects on those outside the car. After all, we install brake lights on the back of
your car not just, or even primarily, for your benefit, but for the sake of the people behind you.
41. What can be inferred about human relationships from the first paragraph
A. AI will lead to distant interpersonal relationships.
B. We will feel comfortable speaking to others online.
C. AI will enable people to communicate more with others.
D. We will be more self-reflective in interaction thanks to AI.
42. In Paragraph 2, the underlined expression “its decline” refers to the decline in ________.
A. drivers’ interaction with the cars
B. our ability to cooperate with others while driving
C. drivers’ exhaustion and distraction
D. our ability to deal with emergencies while driving
43. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true of driverless cars
A. They may be better at making more judgments than human drivers.
B. They can only affect those with whom they have direct contact.
C. They might have potential negative effects on human drivers.
D. They should be developed regardless of its unexpected social effects.
44. Which of the following is the writer most likely to agree with
A. Brake lights on the back of our car are installed mainly to warn us of danger.
B. We should figure out how new technology affects people before developing it.
C. We can launch new forms of AI without thinking of unexpected social effects.
D. More efforts should be made to advance the hardware and software of driverless cars.
45. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage
A. To present the challenges brought by AI.
B. To explain the reason why AI may harm human relations.
C. To put forward how to solve the unexpected effect of AI.
D. To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of driverless cars.
【答案】41. A 42. B 43. C 44. D 45. A

阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
During the years working in Peacekeeping Force, I was sent abroad. As a senior analyst, my workdays were
routinely twelve to sixteen hours long. Like all the old soldiers, we looked forward to receiving mails from home.
We soldiers received many “To any service member” mails, which were sent by the general public in our
mother country to soldiers far away from home, as an expression of support. I never took any of those letters, since
I wrote to my wife on a daily basis, as well as occasionally writing notes to my daughter Jenny’ s classroom, and I
didn’t feel I had time to write to anyone else.
After five or six months of hearing from the mail — announcing the availability of “To any service member”
mail, I decided to take a few of the letters. Because I planned, as time permitted, to drop them a line telling them
“Thanks” for their support.
I picked up three letters, and placed them in my cargo pocket and went back to work. Over the next week or so,
I started responding to the letters. When it came time to answer the third letter, I noticed it had no return address,
but a postmark from my hometown, which made me think of home. I had missed spending important festivals with
my family. Homesickness seized me.
I opened the card and started to read the letter attached, which was a short one. About the third or fourth
sentence down, it read, “My daddy is a soldier over there, if you see him tell him hi and I love and miss him.” This
statement really touched me and made me miss my family even more. Looking down to the name of the sender, I
sat in silence as tears filled my eyes.
46. Who will usually write “To any service member” mails to the author (No more than 8 words)
________________________________________________________________
47. Why did the author decide to answer some “To any service member” mails later (No more than 10 words)
________________________________________________________________
48. What set the author missing his own family (No more than 5 words)
________________________________________________________________
49. How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 (No more than 6 words)
________________________________________________________________
50. Do you think we should maintain peace in the world and why Please explain in your own words. (No more
than 20 words)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】46. The general public in his mother country.
47. To tell them “Thanks” for their support.
48. A postmark from his hometown.
49. He missed his family very much.
50. Yes. Only by maintaining peace can we ensure global stability, foster development and promote cooperation
among nations for a better future.

Good morning! My topic is “The Story of Zhang Lao and His Lifelong Craft”.
In Jingdezhen, there lives a man whose hands have shaped clay into art for over six decades. His name is
Zhang Lao, a master porcelain craftsman. One of his most famous works is a blue-and-white vase that took him
three years to complete. The vase, now displayed in a national museum, features a delicate landscape painting
inspired by traditional Chinese ink art. It was crafted entirely by hand using ancestral techniques.
More than a craftsman, Zhang Lao is a guardian of cultural heritage. His life teaches us that the spirit of
craftsmanship is not just about creating beautiful objects but about preserving the values of dedication. His vase
reminds me mastery demands patience. When facing challenges, I’ll embrace his perseverance to pursue excellence.河西区 2024-2025 学年度第二学期高二年级期中质量调查

Family get-togethers are a great way for family members to understand the lives of each other and strengthen
family bonds. For younger family members, get-togethers can reinforce family traditions and can be learning
experiences that help them to grow and mature. Traditional family get-togethers can include a meal and an activity
such as going to see a movie. However, there are other ideas that can help make get-togethers memorable and
provide moments that enrich the lives of family members.
________
One way to make a family get-together memorable is to give it an environmentally friendly theme. A garden
can be planted, for example, including vegetables that can be eaten in future get-togethers. A tree could be planted
and called the family tree. The family get-together could also be planned for a specific place such as a community
nature center. The family could participate in an environmental project such as a neighborhood clean-up, or
cleaning streams or roadsides.
Be active
Family get-togethers can have physical activity as a main focus of the fun. Families can gather at a beach and
go swimming. Building sand castles also requires exertion, for it takes patience and imagination. Other beach
activities can include kite flying and searching for shells. A family get-together can also be planned for a park that
has a nature trail. A picnic meal can provide food, and everyone can take a hike for exercise. A family get-together
can also have a sports theme when planned for a location that has a basketball court, tennis court or some other
sporting venue. For places with snow, families can go sledding or skiing together.
Museum or Historic Site
A family get-together can also be an educational gathering. For example, a get-together planned at a museum
can provide entertainment as well as educational value. Family members can talk and catch up with one another
while touring the museum. Contact the local organization to find historical sites, which can provide memorable
scenery to a family get-together.

A. A family planting a family tree.
B. A family gathering at a beach.
C. A family gathering of sports theme.
D. A family gathering at a museum.

Many believe that repairing automobiles is a man’s job, but the story of Gu Huijing is a living proof that women
can do it too.
Gu, 18, now studies at Shenzhen No.2 Vocational (职业的) and Technical School. In April, she won first prize at
a provincial competition for vehicle maintenance in Guangdong, which drew 33 teams from different cities across
the province.
Gu decided to major in automobiles in a vocational school when she was in junior high. “I clearly know my
strength and weakness,” she said. Gu thought that she would not perform well in her College Entrance Exam due to
poor performance in math if she insisted on studying in a senior high school. But Gu is insightful: She knows that
she is much more interested in robots and driverless cars.
At first, her parents were surprised and couldn’t accept her decision. But Gu persuaded them in a rational way:
Before making the decision, she researched the future development of the auto industry in her city, compared
different schools' curriculums and sought advice from seniors.
“I showed my parents that I’m really passionate about the major and take my career prospect seriously,” Gu said.
“Then they respected my decision.” Gu did what she said she would. She started learning about cars in 2019. But
she encountered many difficulties in reading the circuit diagrams (电路图). “Each model of car has its own circuit
diagrams,” she said. “It’s hard to figure out all of those diagrams in a short time.” To overcome the difficulty, Gu
had been practicing and turning to teachers whenever she had a problem. Finally, Gu achieved her “eureka (顿悟)”
moment after she studied hard for one year.
She showed her perseverance in her one-month intensive training for the competition. From 8 am to 5 pm, Gu
had her usual lessons, but at night, she attended a training camp.
Compared to her male classmates, Gu is not strong enough to carry some heavier car parts, but constant training
makes up for it. On top of that, Gu is more patient and careful than other male competitors, Li Shichuan, Gu’s
teacher, told The Paper.
“Many people are prejudiced against students from vocational schools and think vehicle maintenance is a job for
men. That’s a stereotype( 刻板印象 ). I don’t think we’re inferior( 低人一等的 ) to others and nor does gender
have something to do with the choice of occupation.”
Gu hopes to be a versatile( 全能型的 ) talent in the auto industry. “If possible, I also want to take part in the
World Skills Competition and demonstrate Chinese craftsmanship to more people,” she added.
36. Why did Gu Huijing decide to study automobiles at a vocational school
A. She wanted to show girls’ capability in automobile repair.
B. She believed her math could give her an edge.
C. She wanted to further her interest.
D. She took classes to avoid the College Entrance Exam.
37. How did Gu persuade her parents to accept her decision
A. She asked for advice from them.
B She convinced them that she took it seriously.
C. She showed them the curriculum.
D. She did research on different careers.
38. How did Gu overcome her difficulties
A. By exercising more and asking for help.
B By taking extra lessons on reading diagrams.
C. By studying the differences between circuit diagrams.
D. By attending different training camps.
39. What is Gu’s advantage over her male classmates
A. She has more support from people around her.
B. She has versatile talents in the auto industry.
C. She has better career prospects.
D. She has greater patience.
40. Who does this passage is probably intended for
A. People who lost their jobs.
B. Students who are prepared for career choice.
C. College students who are unwilling to work.
D. People who are advised to change their jobs.
C
We are encountering real-world examples of how AI can harm human relations. As digital assistants such as
Alexa or Siri become popular, we become accustomed to talking to them as though they were alive. Writing in
these pages several years ago, Judith Shulevitz described how some of us are starting to treat them as friends and
therapists (治疗专家). Shulevitz herself says she confesses (忏悔) things to Google Assistant that she wouldn’t tell
her husband. If we grow more comfortable talking to our devices about our secrets, what happens to our human
marriages and friendships Designers and programmers typically create devices whose responses make us feel
better—— but may not help us be self-reflective or think over painful truths. As AI goes deeper into our lives, we
must face the possibility that it will prevent our emotions and deep human connects.
Besides, we will fight with some other challenges. The age of driverless cars, after all, is upon us. These vehicles
promise to considerably reduce the exhaustion and distraction that put human drivers in danger, thus preventing
accidents. But what other effects might they have on people Driving is a very modern kind of social interaction,
requiring high levels of cooperation. I worry that driverless cars, by taking away from us an occasion to exercise
this ability, could contribute to its decline.
Not only will these vehicles be programmed to take over driving duties and hence to remove from humans the
power to make moral judgments (for example, about which pedestrian to hit when a crash is unavoidable), they will
also affect humans with whom they’ve had no direct contact. For instance, drivers who have steered (操纵) awhile
alongside an autonomous vehicle traveling at a steady, changeless speed might drive less attentively, thus
increasing their likelihood of accidents once they’ve moved to a part of the highway occupied only by human
drivers. Alternatively, experience may reveal that driving alongside autonomous vehicles travelling in perfect
accordance with traffic laws actually improves human performance.
Either way, we should be careful to launch new forms of AI without first taking such unexpected social effects
into account. We must apply the same effort that we apply to the hardware and software that make self-driving cars
possible to managing AI’s potential effects on those outside the car. After all, we install brake lights on the back of
your car not just, or even primarily, for your benefit, but for the sake of the people behind you.
41. What can be inferred about human relationships from the first paragraph
A. AI will lead to distant interpersonal relationships.
B. We will feel comfortable speaking to others online.
C. AI will enable people to communicate more with others.
D. We will be more self-reflective in interaction thanks to AI.
42. In Paragraph 2, the underlined expression “its decline” refers to the decline in ________.
A. drivers’ interaction with the cars
B. our ability to cooperate with others while driving
C. drivers’ exhaustion and distraction
D. our ability to deal with emergencies while driving
43. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true of driverless cars
A. They may be better at making more judgments than human drivers.
B. They can only affect those with whom they have direct contact.
C. They might have potential negative effects on human drivers.
D. They should be developed regardless of its unexpected social effects.
44. Which of the following is the writer most likely to agree with
A. Brake lights on the back of our car are installed mainly to warn us of danger.
B. We should figure out how new technology affects people before developing it.
C. We can launch new forms of AI without thinking of unexpected social effects.
D. More efforts should be made to advance the hardware and software of driverless cars.
45. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage
A. To present the challenges brought by AI.
B. To explain the reason why AI may harm human relations.
C. To put forward how to solve the unexpected effect of AI.
D. To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of driverless cars.

阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
During the years working in Peacekeeping Force, I was sent abroad. As a senior analyst, my workdays were
routinely twelve to sixteen hours long. Like all the old soldiers, we looked forward to receiving mails from home.
We soldiers received many “To any service member” mails, which were sent by the general public in our
mother country to soldiers far away from home, as an expression of support. I never took any of those letters, since
I wrote to my wife on a daily basis, as well as occasionally writing notes to my daughter Jenny’ s classroom, and I
didn’t feel I had time to write to anyone else.
After five or six months of hearing from the mail — announcing the availability of “To any service member”
mail, I decided to take a few of the letters. Because I planned, as time permitted, to drop them a line telling them
“Thanks” for their support.
I picked up three letters, and placed them in my cargo pocket and went back to work. Over the next week or so,
I started responding to the letters. When it came time to answer the third letter, I noticed it had no return address,
but a postmark from my hometown, which made me think of home. I had missed spending important festivals with
my family. Homesickness seized me.
I opened the card and started to read the letter attached, which was a short one. About the third or fourth
sentence down, it read, “My daddy is a soldier over there, if you see him tell him hi and I love and miss him.” This
statement really touched me and made me miss my family even more. Looking down to the name of the sender, I
sat in silence as tears filled my eyes.
