Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
(2025·广东广州高三一模) Last summer at a bookstore, my son Henry was fascinated by the cover of the first novel from Peter Brown's middle-grade trilogy (三部曲). He then finished it in just two days. “Dad, why did The Wild Robot have to be so sad？” He tearfully asked me.
The story is set on a remote island, where a robot named Roz learns to survive and communicate with the island's creatures, and becomes part of the community. For my son, it was the first book he discovered on his own; the first to impact him with the mix of tragedy (悲剧) and joy.
When I finished the book, I knew why Henry loved it. In our book club discussion, he described how Brown's pictures and words had made the story feel real. When talking about its final scenes, where Roz leaves to find repairs for her injured body, Henry cried again. His previous reading experiences had cheerful, “happily-ever-after” endings, but this book introduced him to the beauty of complex emotions. I tried to explain how sadness can enhance the meaning of happy moments, but failed to fully convince him.
Once our discussion ended, Henry requested to buy The Wild Robot Escapes and instantly fell in love with it. He read the first two books repeatedly, so you can imagine his excitement when we finally got a copy of The Wild Robot Protects.
We both agree it is worth the wait. Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat: “the poison tide.” Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas—not just happiness and sadness, but also, given the climate-change undercurrents, hope and despair.
And, here's something special about Roz: her physical clumsiness and confusion about life, conveyed through her expressive eyes and downturned mouth. Her story reflects the challenges of surviving in a strange place, much like a child's journey. Readers love Roz. They learn from her. Even better, they learn alongside her. Roz gave Henry the power to push through the first book's sad parts, getting him ready to appreciate that, sometimes, sadness isn't a bad thing to feel.
1．What drove the author to read The Wild Robot？(　　)
A.Its tragic ending. B．Henry's tearful recommendation.
C．Its attractive cover. D．Henry's emotional response to it.
答案：D　
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“‘Dad, why did The Wild Robot have to be so sad？’ He tearfully asked me.”以及第三段中“When I finished the book, I knew why Henry loved it.”可知，亨利对此的情绪反应促使作者阅读《荒岛机器人》。故选D。
2．What is one theme of The Wild Robot Protects？(　　)
A．Family and community. B．Concerns of global issues.
C．Exploration of the ocean. D．Man-robot relationship.
答案：B　
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas—not just happiness and sadness, but also, given the climate change undercurrents, hope and despair.”可知，《荒岛机器人》的主题是对全球问题的关注。故选B。
3．What makes Roz in the trilogy special？(　　)
A．Her childlike expressions. B．Her robotic power.
C．Her struggling experiences. D．Her adventurous spirit.
答案：C　
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Her story reflects the challenges of surviving in a strange place, much like a child's journey.”可知，三部曲中的罗兹特别之处在于她的奋斗经历。故选C。
4．Which message does this text seem to communicate？(　　)
A．Misfortune inspires great literary works.
B．Robot stories work like magic on children.
C．Book discussions help kids survive tragedies.
D．Reading literature facilitates personal growth.
答案：D　
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Roz gave Henry the power to push through the first book's sad parts, getting him ready to appreciate that, sometimes, sadness isn't a bad thing to feel.”结合文章主要讲述了作者的儿子阅读了一本书《荒岛机器人》后，被故事内容所打动。于是作者也阅读了这本书，并感悟到悲伤如何能增强快乐时刻的意义以及悲伤也可以让人成长。可推知，这篇文章想表达的是阅读文学作品有助于个人成长。故选D。
B
(2025·广州高三冲刺训练题) Human history is full of horse stories like guiding cowboys home on foggy nights and taking wounded soldiers through battle zones. Such sensible and highly trained horses made Elina Jatel，a computer scientist and roboticist，think of robots. “A horse that can take a rider home on its own would be the highest level of autonomy，” Jatel says. “You trust them with your life.” She was drawn to learning how such relationships form and if it could help improve human-robot interactions.
For a year，Jatel engaged herself in the horse world. She watched classes in horse training，and she also talked with students，instructors，trainers and horse owners. Along the way，Jatel even learned to ride.
Horses learn signals from their trainers on how to comfortably interact with people. People，too，must learn their part. Riders must learn what a horse wants or how it feels based on its behavior，and what signals to use to direct horses to perform in desired ways. Jatel found some similarities，here，to working with robots.
People must learn how to direct robots to do specific tasks. They also must learn what to do when robots don't perform as planned. The goal is to program robots that will respond predictably to inputs from people. But like horses，autonomous robots also should be able to respond on their own as conditions change. For example，a self-driving car must stop to avoid hitting something，even if some human mistakenly tells it to keep going.
Trainers and riders work with horses to build respect. Horses show that respect by matching their pace to a human or giving someone who is leading them a safe degree of personal space. Trainers begin their work with a horse by getting them to show signs of respect in basic interactions，Jatel says. Later，trainers will develop more complex interactions. Gradually，a horse's respect can grow into trust.
But that trust is not given. And there may be a similar limitation with robots. What would it mean for robots and people to respect and trust each other？For now，she adds，this is largely uncharted territory. But she's looking to build a path.
5．What drew Elina Jatel's attention to horses (　　)
A．Horses' amazing performance.
B．Long history of horse training.
C．Horse-human interdependence.
D．Her horse-riding experience.
答案：A　
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Such sensible and highly trained horses made Elina Jatel，a computer scientist and roboticist，think of robots ...She was drawn to learning how such relationships form and if it could help improve human robot interactions.”可知，这些有判断力且训练有素的马让计算机科学家和机器人专家埃琳娜·贾特尔想到了机器人，一匹可以自己带骑手回家的马将是最高级别的自主，你可以把生命托付给它们，她很想了解这种关系是如何形成的，以及它是否有助于改善人机互动。由此可知，马的惊人表现吸引了埃琳娜·贾特尔对马的注意。故选A。
6．What are the robots of the highest autonomy designed to do (　　)
A．To act like real horses.
B．To show respect for humans.
C．To follow instructions from humans.
D．To make independent and sensible decisions.
答案：D　
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The goal is to program robots that will respond predictably to inputs from people. But like horses，autonomous robots also should be able to respond on their own as conditions change.”可知，其目标是编程机器人，使其能够对人类的输入做出可预测的反应。但像马一样，自主机器人也应该能够在条件变化时自行做出反应。下文关于自动驾驶汽车的例子也说明了这一点。由此可知，最高自主的机器人被设计做出独立而明智的决定。
7．What will Jatel's future research most probably focus on (　　)
A．The limitations of robots.
B．Trust between robots and humans.
C．The path toward higher robot efficiency.
D．Similarities between horses and robots.
答案：B　
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“What would it mean for robots and people to respect and trust each other？For now，she adds，this is largely uncharted territory. But she's looking to build a path.(机器人和人类相互尊重和信任意味着什么？她认为目前这在很大程度上是一个未知领域，她想要开辟一条道路。)”可知，贾特尔未来的研究重点是机器人和人类之间的信任。故选B。
8．What can be a suitable title for the text (　　)
A．History of Human-Horse Relationship
B．Secrets of Human-Animal Interactions
C．The Role of Trust in Human-Robot Partnerships
D．Horses as the Inspiration for Autonomous Robots
答案：D　
解析：标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Such sensible and highly trained horses made Elina Jatel，a computer scientist and roboticist，think of robots.”可知，机器人专家从马与人类的关系中得到研发自主机器人的灵感，接下来重点介绍了其灵感来源以及未来的研究重点等。由此可知，D项“马作为自主机器人的灵感来源”最适合作文章标题。故选D。
