There is no doubt that technology has had a big influence on our lives. People from all around the world can now talk to each other almost at once on mobile phones and the internet. People can easily solve their problems with the help of computers and the World Wide Web. With this technology, it seems that the world is more connected now than ever before. Even so, there have been worries about technology making people feel lonely and disconnected from others around them.
So does this mean that technology makes us lonely
In my opinion, it is hard to say yes or no.
It's true that humans need communication with each other. If we depend on technology too much to communicate, this can badly impact our mental (心理的) health. For me, technology is a tool. And just like any other kind of tool—like scissors, a pencil or a ruler, for example, it depends on how we use it; in a right way or in a right place. Take social media (社交媒体) as an example. If you only use it to compare yourself with others, you might feel sad and lonely. But if you use it as a tool to connect with friends and families or to start a new community to talk about your hobbies and interests, the loneliness will turn into love and friendship.
When you feel lonely after staring at your computer screen all day, maybe you can use that technology to reach out to a reliable (可靠的) friend and invite him or her out for lunch or a coffee.
31．According to the writer, technology is __________.
A．a tool B．an influence
C．a pair of scissors D．a way of communication
32．What's the meaning of the underlined word “impact” in Paragraph 4
A．Damage. B．Improve. C．Influence. D．Enter.
33．According to the passage, if people use technology too much, people may __________.
A．sleep less B．live longer C．feel lonely D．get more jobs
34．When we use technology to __________ others, we can find love and friendship.
A．argue with B．compete with C．connect with D．compare with
35．What's the main idea of the passage
A．Social media is important to us. B．Technology can be good and bad for us.
C．People need to communicate with each other. D．Computers and the internet help us with our work.
【答案】31．A 32．C 33．C 34．C 35．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要探讨了技术对人们生活的影响，特别是关于技术是否会使人感到孤独的问题。文章指出，技术本身是一把双刃剑，关键在于人们如何使用它。
31．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“For me, technology is a tool.”可知，作者认为技术是一种工具。故选A。
32．词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“If we depend on technology too much to communicate, this can badly impact our mental (心理的) health.”可知，过度依赖技术进行交流会对我们的心理健康产生不良影响，由此可推测“impact”意为“影响”。故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Even so, there have been worries about technology making people feel lonely and disconnected from others around them.”可知，如果人们过度使用技术，可能会感到孤独。故选C。
34．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“But if you use it as a tool to connect with friends and families or to start a new community to talk about your hobbies and interests, the loneliness will turn into love and friendship.”可知，当我们使用技术与他人联系时，我们可以找到爱和友谊。故选C。
35．主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，本文主要探讨了技术对人们生活的影响，特别是关于技术是否会使人感到孤独的问题。文章指出，技术本身是一把双刃剑，关键在于人们如何使用它。如果使用得当，技术可以带来爱和友谊；如果使用不当，技术可能会使人感到孤独。因此，B项“Technology can be good and bad for us.”最能概括文章的主旨。故选B。

_______________ A town in Finland has begun using the world’s largest “sand battery” to help provide heat. The unusual method of storing energy allows the town to create heat when electricity prices are cheap, and store it for long periods of time. A sand battery works because sand can be heated to very high temperatures. In a well-insulated (绝缘的) container, sand can hold this heat for a long time. A New Method (方法) To Count Turtles Scientists from the University of Florida have recently developed a more accurate method of counting the Giant South American River turtles. Dr. Brack points out that it is important for protecting them. Without the method, it’s difficult to know if the numbers are going up or down. The scientists plan to keep working to improve the method. They believe the method could be used to count other kinds of animals, too. Scientists Create World’s Tiniest Violin Scientists at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom have created “the world’s smallest violin”. The tiny violin, made of a metal called platinum, measures just 35 microns (微米) long and 13 microns wide. This means that the violin is even thinner than a human hair, so it can only be seen with a powerful microscope. The tiny violin wasn’t designed to be played, but to test new technology for building extremely small things.
41．In which SECTION of the newspaper can we read the news
A．Discovery. B．Travel. C．Technology. D．Environment.
42．Which of the following is the best title for the first piece of news
A．How Sand Batteries Work. B．A New Way to Heat Homes.
C．A Town in Finland Uses Sand to Store Heat. D．Why Sand is the Best Material for Storing Energy.
43．Why is an accurate count of the turtles important, according to Dr. Brack
A．Because it helps to build more nesting sites.
B．Because it is difficult to know their population without it.
C．Because it can attract more scientists to the University of Florida.
D．Because it helps the turtles to find more food.
44．What was the real purpose of making the tiny violin
A．To play music. B．To sell it for money.
C．To test new technology. D．To break a world record.
45．What do the three pieces of news have in common
A．They are all about new world records.
B．They all involve scientists from European universities.
C．They are all related to environmental protection.
D．They all describe new technologies for solving problems.
【答案】41．C 42．C 43．B 44．C 45．D
【导语】本文介绍了三则新闻，主要内容是科学新发现和研究成果。
41．推理判断题。根据“A town in Finland has begun using the world’s largest ‘sand battery’ to help provide heat.”；“Scientists from the University of Florida have recently developed a more accurate method of counting the Giant South American River turtles.”以及“Scientists at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom have created ‘the world’s smallest violin’.”可知，三则新闻都与科学新发现或技术创新密切相关，最适合刊登在报纸的科技版面。故选C。
42．最佳标题题。根据“A sand battery works because sand can be heated to very high temperatures. In a well-insulated (绝缘的) container, sand can hold this heat for a long time.”可知，第一则新闻的核心信息是芬兰某小镇用沙子来储存热量，因此选项C为最佳标题。故选C。
43．细节理解题。根据“Without the method, it’s difficult to know if the numbers are going up or down.”可知，如果没有这种方法，就很难知道数量是在增加还是减少。故选B。
44．细节理解题。根据“The tiny violin wasn’t designed to be played, but to test new technology for building extremely small things.”可知，这把极其微小的小提琴并非用来演奏，而是为了测试建造极微小物品的新技术。故选C。
45．细节理解题。通读全文可知，三则新闻分别介绍了用沙子储热、统计乌龟数量的新方法，以及制作微型小提琴的新技术，都是利用技术来解决实际问题。故选D。
五、选词填空

All over the world, families wash, cook, and clean their homes. When people have water in their houses, they can wash with it, cook with it and drink it. They don’t even think 46 it!
47 , in many small villages in Africa, far away from the big cities, the houses don’t have water. In those villages, it is usually 48 job to get water for the family home. Children help their mothers and older sisters with this important 49 . But often lakes or rivers are far from home and water is 50 , so women and children can’t get enough water in one trip. It usually 51 many hours and more than one person to get water. That’s why 52 sometimes don’t go to school.
It is good news that Q Drum, a new invention (发明), is there to help. The Q Drum can 53 about 50 liters (升) of water, and it is easy to pull (拉). That means a woman or a child can make 54 one trip to get enough water. This makes life much 55 for the families in those villages. And if children only carry water home once a day or once every two days, they can go to school.
【答案】
46．about 47．However 48．women’s 49．chore 50．heavy 51．takes 52．children 53．carry 54．only 55．easier
【导语】本文主要讲述了在非洲的一些偏远村庄，由于家中没有自来水，妇女和儿童需要花费大量时间和精力去远处取水，这影响了孩子的上学。然而，Q桶这一新发明可以帮助他们更轻松地取水，从而改善生活。
46．句意：他们甚至不会考虑它！ think about“考虑”。故填about。
47．句意：然而，在非洲的许多小村庄，远离大城市，家中没有水。 根据上文“When people have water in their houses, they can wash with it, cook with it and drink it. They don’t even think...it!”和“...in many small villages in Africa, far away from the big cities, the houses don’t have water.”可知，此处与上文是转折关系，副词however“然而”符合语境，句首首字母大写。故填However。
48．句意：在那些村庄里，为家庭取水通常是妇女的工作。根据下文“Children help their mothers and older sisters with this important...”可推知，为家庭取水通常是妇女的工作。此处表示泛指，应用woman“妇女”的复数形式women，空后的job是名词，所以空处应填women的所有格形式women’s，修饰名词。故填women’s。
49．句意：孩子们帮助他们的母亲和姐姐完成这项重要的家务。根据上文“it is usually...job to get water for the family home”可推知，此处指的是取水这个重要的家务，名词chore“家务”符合语境，this后接可数名词的单数形式。故填chore。
50．句意：但往往湖泊或河流离家很远，水很重，所以妇女和儿童无法一次就获得足够的水。空处缺少形容词作表语，修饰water，结合所给单词可知，形容词heavy“重的”符合语境。故填heavy。
51．句意：通常需要很多个小时和不止一个人去取水。根据“It usually...many hours and more than one person to get water.”可知，需要花费很多个小时去取水，结合所给单词可知，动词take符合语境，根据usually可知，时态是一般现在时，主语It表示单数，所以空处应填take的第三人称单数形式takes。故填takes。
52．句意：这就是为什么孩子们有时不能上学。根据“sometimes don’t go to school”可知，此处指孩子们有时无法上学，此处表示泛指，所以空处应填child“孩子”的复数形式children。故填children。
53．句意：Q桶可以装大约50升水，而且很容易拉动。根据“The Q Drum can...about 50 liters (升) of water”可知，Q桶可以装大约50升水，动词carry“运输”符合语境，can后接动词原形。故填carry。
54．句意：这意味着妇女或儿童只需一次就能取到足够的水。根据所给单词和“That means a woman or a child can make...one trip to get enough water.”可知，此处指只需一次就能取到足够的水，only“唯一的”符合语境。故填only。
55．句意：这对那些村庄的家庭来说生活变得容易多了。根据“This makes life much...for the families in those villages.”和所给单词可知，Q桶这项发明使得生活变得容易多了，空处应选形容词easy“容易的”，much常用于修饰形容词比较级，所以空处应填easy的比较级easier。故填easier。
六、书面表达

As a child, I was quite active. I was running around and getting hurt almost every day. My mum was 16 . A neighbour advised me to learn to fish. I liked the 17 , but my mum said no. She thought it was 18 for me to get close to the body of water.
At last, my mum got another idea. Every day, she made me sit at the desk and 19 for an hour. I hated reading and cried a lot. Then, my 20 , a school teacher, came to help. He led me to my desk and told me to 21 one book. “Read just twenty pages. If you still feel bored after that, just put it down and choose another one,” he said.
I started with The Emperor’s New Clothes. After I read twenty 22 as my uncle suggested, I rolled (打滚) on the floor laughing. What a stupid emperor! Next, I read more books. As time went on, I was able to 23 understand the stories. So I started reading longer and more serious books. I fell in love with Journey to the West. My mum said I should spend more time playing outside. But I didn’t want to 24 the book.

四、阅读理解
By 2070, digital life will be indistinguishable from daily existence. Smart homes will feature AI assistants that anticipate needs, adjusting lighting to match mood cycles and preparing personalized meals based on health data. Wearable tech will monitor vital signs, alerting users to potential health issues before symptoms appear. Delivery drones, equipped with advanced navigation, will zip through smart cities, delivering packages in under 15 minutes even in heavy traffic.
Education will undergo a revolution: virtual classrooms will enable students from Tokyo to New York to collaborate on 3D projects, guided by AI tutors that adapt to each learner’s pace. However, concerns about data privacy and declining face-to-face interaction will grow. Experts propose “digital detox zones” in public spaces, encouraging real-world conversations. The key challenge will be maintaining human connection while embracing innovation.

There is no doubt that technology has had a big influence on our lives. People from all around the world can now talk to each other almost at once on mobile phones and the internet. People can easily solve their problems with the help of computers and the World Wide Web. With this technology, it seems that the world is more connected now than ever before. Even so, there have been worries about technology making people feel lonely and disconnected from others around them.
So does this mean that technology makes us lonely
In my opinion, it is hard to say yes or no.
It's true that humans need communication with each other. If we depend on technology too much to communicate, this can badly impact our mental (心理的) health. For me, technology is a tool. And just like any other kind of tool—like scissors, a pencil or a ruler, for example, it depends on how we use it; in a right way or in a right place. Take social media (社交媒体) as an example. If you only use it to compare yourself with others, you might feel sad and lonely. But if you use it as a tool to connect with friends and families or to start a new community to talk about your hobbies and interests, the loneliness will turn into love and friendship.
When you feel lonely after staring at your computer screen all day, maybe you can use that technology to reach out to a reliable (可靠的) friend and invite him or her out for lunch or a coffee.
31．According to the writer, technology is __________.
A．a tool B．an influence
C．a pair of scissors D．a way of communication
32．What's the meaning of the underlined word “impact” in Paragraph 4
A．Damage. B．Improve. C．Influence. D．Enter.
33．According to the passage, if people use technology too much, people may __________.
A．sleep less B．live longer C．feel lonely D．get more jobs
34．When we use technology to __________ others, we can find love and friendship.
A．argue with B．compete with C．connect with D．compare with
35．What's the main idea of the passage
A．Social media is important to us. B．Technology can be good and bad for us.
C．People need to communicate with each other. D．Computers and the internet help us with our work.
Recently, a painting with AI technology has won first prize at the Colorado State Fair’s fine arts competition (比赛).
Jason Allen made the winning work. He is not an artist but a computer programmer. As one of the 11 “artists” in this competition, he used Midjourney to make the painting. This is the first AI painting to win such a prize, and other artists aren’t happy about it. Some believe that Allen cheated (欺骗), and others think his win is unfair. Many artists made their art in more traditional ways.
But Allen said he was not sorry for anything because he didn’t break any rules. He never tried to hide (隐藏) the fact that he used AI to make the painting.
Although he used AI to make art, it wasn’t so easy. He made over 900 paintings and finally chose 3. In total, he spent over 80 hours working on them, using different words and phrases to make different parts of the paintings.
“We don’t need to question the AI technology or the people behind it. Instead, we need to realize that it’s a great tool (工具), and that we should make good use of it so that we can all move forward.” Allen said.
36．What does Jason Allen do
A．An artist. B．A painter.
C．A computer programmer. D．A scientist.
37．What can we know about the winning work
A．It was created in a traditional way. B．It was made by AI, not by humans.
C．It is welcome among other artists. D．It is the first AI painting in the world.
38．How long did Allen spend working on the paintings
A．Over 80 hours. B．Less than 70 hours.
C．Over 100 hours. D．Only 3 hours.
39．How did Jason Allen make the painting
①He chose three of the paintings to get in the competition.
②He used different words to make parts of the paintings.
③He made more than nine hundred paintings in all.
A．①②③ B．②①③ C．③①② D．②③①
40．According to the passage, what is Allen’s opinion about AI
A．People shouldn’t use AI to cheat in the art competition.
B．It’s not good for artists to use AI to make paintings.
C．It’s a great tool if people use it in a good way.
D．He feels unhappy about it because it breaks many rules.
_______________ A town in Finland has begun using the world’s largest “sand battery” to help provide heat. The unusual method of storing energy allows the town to create heat when electricity prices are cheap, and store it for long periods of time. A sand battery works because sand can be heated to very high temperatures. In a well-insulated (绝缘的) container, sand can hold this heat for a long time. A New Method (方法) To Count Turtles Scientists from the University of Florida have recently developed a more accurate method of counting the Giant South American River turtles. Dr. Brack points out that it is important for protecting them. Without the method, it’s difficult to know if the numbers are going up or down. The scientists plan to keep working to improve the method. They believe the method could be used to count other kinds of animals, too. Scientists Create World’s Tiniest Violin Scientists at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom have created “the world’s smallest violin”. The tiny violin, made of a metal called platinum, measures just 35 microns (微米) long and 13 microns wide. This means that the violin is even thinner than a human hair, so it can only be seen with a powerful microscope. The tiny violin wasn’t designed to be played, but to test new technology for building extremely small things.
41．In which SECTION of the newspaper can we read the news
A．Discovery. B．Travel. C．Technology. D．Environment.
42．Which of the following is the best title for the first piece of news
A．How Sand Batteries Work. B．A New Way to Heat Homes.
C．A Town in Finland Uses Sand to Store Heat. D．Why Sand is the Best Material for Storing Energy.
43．Why is an accurate count of the turtles important, according to Dr. Brack
A．Because it helps to build more nesting sites.
B．Because it is difficult to know their population without it.
C．Because it can attract more scientists to the University of Florida.
D．Because it helps the turtles to find more food.
44．What was the real purpose of making the tiny violin
A．To play music. B．To sell it for money.
C．To test new technology. D．To break a world record.
45．What do the three pieces of news have in common
A．They are all about new world records.
B．They all involve scientists from European universities.
C．They are all related to environmental protection.
D．They all describe new technologies for solving problems.
五、选词填空
请从方框内选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使文章完整连贯。注意每空一词，每词仅用一次，有两词为多余项。请将答案写在答题卷对应题目的答题卷位置上。

47 , in many small villages in Africa, far away from the big cities, the houses don’t have water. In those villages, it is usually 48 job to get water for the family home. Children help their mothers and older sisters with this important 49 . But often lakes or rivers are far from home and water is 50 , so women and children can’t get enough water in one trip. It usually 51 many hours and more than one person to get water. That’s why 52 sometimes don’t go to school.
