参考译文
智能的家让生活更加便利
　　你忘记过锁家门吗？或是你忘记过关掉电视或电脑吗？诸如此类
的事情经常发生在我们身上，浪费资源，有时还会引发问题。然而在
不久的将来，我们将生活在智能的家里。智能的家会在我们外出时锁
好家门，会在我们忘记关掉电视的时候替我们关上。这样的智能家居
将保障我们的安全，节省我们的能源，为我们提供一个更为舒适的居
住环境。
　　智能控制
　　今天，我们必须使用开关来控制我们的电灯，使用旋钮来控制我
们的家用电器，使用遥控器来控制我们的电视机和空调。在未来，我
们每天都会使用先进技术对家中几乎所有东西进行自动化控制。未来
的住宅将使用集成传感器来感应你每天早晨何时出门，然后自动进入
节能模式。你再也不用想着自己打开或关闭各种开关。你的住宅还能
了解你的日程安排和喜好，所以每天晚上你回到家时，一切都已经准
备就绪。你一进家门，灯就会亮起，还有你最喜欢的音乐或电视节目
（会自动播放），而且你会发现晚餐已为你准备好了。所有的控制器
都将响应语音指令，因此如果你想要改变日程安排，你只需大声说出
你的想法，家居系统就会照办。
　　定期健康检查
　　此外，你的智能家居每天都会监测你的健康状况。例如，你的床
铺会记录你每晚的睡眠状况，还能检测你的体重。如果你开始有睡眠
或体重问题，它会将警告发到你的手机上。此外，就如何实现更加健
康的饮食和更好的睡眠，它还会给予你建议。智能马桶也会持续跟踪
你的健康状况。如果发现异常情况，或是你得了癌症等重大疾病，智
能马桶会提前警告你，并有可能挽救你的生命。
　　不再有事故
　　智能家居将能够防止事故造成严重损害。例如，如果水管漏水或
发生电线短路，你的智能家居将会探测出来，并给你提供相关的信
息。这样一来，你就能够在家里水流满地或着火前及时解决问题。
　　这种智能技术不是幻想。这些新近的革新中有许多已经唾手
可得，并且正在一些住宅中使用。从这个意义上说，明日之家已
经是今日之家。然而，还需要过些年大多数新住宅才会开始使用
这种新技术。

　　（2025·抚州高二检测）One of the most popular AI-generated songs
spread quickly on social media last month， getting millions of plays. The
song was eventually removed from streaming platforms， but not before
sending a scare throughout the music industry about the future of artificial
intelligence in music. Will AI replace pop stars？
　　Many students argued that AI-generated music would not have the
emotional pull of music made by humans. Aleena， a student from
Philadelphia says， “Even if the lyrics imitate a real pop star’s，
whether it talks about love or family， it would never have the same
impact like one created by a real pop star because the listeners know it is
all just to sound good and appeal to the listeners. I like listening to artists I
know having gone through similar things or having the same feelings as
me.”
　　Furthermore， pop stars often have a unique charm and talent that
allows them to connect with their audience on a personal level，
something that AI may struggle to copy. The music industry is also heavily
influenced by marketing and public relations. The excitement of seeing
your favorite artists onstage and singing along with them is what AI can’t
achieve. This is not something that AI can replicate.
　　The use of AI in the music industry has the potential to revolutionize
the way music is made and consumed. One of the biggest benefits is the
ability to create personalized music for each and every person. AI can also
help artists create new sounds.

　　（2025·鄂东南省级高中联考）Tamara Hinson examines why space
exploration developments shouldn’t just be of interest to astronauts —
they’re helping to change our holidays， too.
　　In early May 2019， Blue Origin， the space exploration company
founded by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos， successfully launched and landed
the rocket.Bezos plans to use for space tourism. In recent years，
international space agencies and private space exploration companies have
made huge leaps forward in their efforts to explore beyond planet Earth.
This isn’t just good news for those of us with a burning desire to visit the
Moon， see our planet from space or set up camp on Mars， and if you
extremely like travelling， you’ll highly likely eventually benefit from
developments relating to space exploration.
By travelling in a spaceship sent into orbit， an eight-hour flight in a
narrow airplane could become a 30-minute hop， while the entire planet
could be circumnavigated in just 90 minutes.
　　Recent developments suggest such journeys might soon become
reality， largely thanks to the number of privately-funded space
exploration adventures， like Musk’s SpaceX.
　　“It’s not just about national space agencies any more and
commercial companies all over the world are doing their own thing，”
points out Bresnik， who admits to being surprised at the developments
made in a relatively short space of time. “In the 1900s we had the first
flight， and suddenly all these other people were building airplanes. And
now， just over 100 years later， there are generations who think it’s
perfectly normal to simply book a flight on their iPhone. And we’re at
the same point with space flight； you’ll soon be able to go to space
without being a professional astronaut.”
　　All of these developments and the research and testing which comes
beforehand serve another purpose. They make getting to Mars — the little
red dot our descendants （后代） could very well end up living on much
easier， although there are still various obstacles. Bresnik states that he
suspects a trip into space will soon be as simple as a trip to Disneyland
even if the famous theme park has certain advantages， such as more
reliable supplies of food， water， and oxygen， believing we’re close
to overcoming all obstacles and pointing out that one potential solution
would be to take seeds instead of food， and use regenerative techniques
to reclaim water.

B. Space tourism lovers have set up camp on the Mars.
C. Travelling by spaceship might largely shorten the travelling time.
D. Musk’s SpaceX alone makes such space journeys become a reality.

6. Why is Bresnik surprised？（　　）
A. Space exploration has made rapid progress.
B. A trip into space will cost as much as an iPhone.
C. People can go to space without being trained nowadays.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
　　（2025·苏州高二检测）Aircraft are some of the most complex
vehicles out there， which need a great energy supply. If you tried to
design an airplane supported by today’s batteries， you would have to
take out all the passengers and goods and fill that space with batteries just
to fly for under an hour. Jet fuel can hold about 50 times more energy
compared to batteries per unit mass. To close that gap， we need to make
batteries lighter in the future. New batteries are being developed， but
they aren’t yet ready for providing any aircraft with energy
independently.
　　However， we can get some benefits by using hybrid propulsion
systems （混合驱动系统）. Hybrid aircraft use a combination of
batteries and jet fuel. Using batteries as a power assist during take-off and
climb is a very promising option. Taxiing （滑行） to the runway by
using just electric power could also save a significant amount of jet fuel.
There is a sweet spot between how much electricity used from the battery
and how much jet fuel used for the maximum benefits. How to get there is
at the center of my research.
　　Besides hybrid propulsion systems， we can dig deep into jet fuel.
The first option is that fuels can be made from corn， oilseeds and other
fats. But the supply is limited， and using more biomass for fuel could
compete with food production and lead to deforestation. A second option
is using synthetic （合成的） sustainable jet fuel， which involves
capturing carbon from the air or other industrial processes and combining it
with hydrogen. The only emission is water. But that’s a complex and
costly process and does not have a high production scale yet.
　　By 2050， we could see three to five times more carbon dioxide
emissions from aircraft than before 2020. The International Civil Aviation
Organization’s long-term goal is to cut net carbon dioxide emissions by
50% by 2050 compared with the level in 2005. I think we should raise our
expectations about the goal in 2050 because technological progress is
faster than the growth of demand.

　　The AI project intends to use artificial intelligence to create an
innovative （创新的） theatrical performance， which is expected to
premiere （首演） early next year. Head of the research team Rudolf
Rosa said， “The main idea behind our study came from Tom
Studeník， an innovator who noticed the centenary （一百周年纪念） of
the play RUR is approaching.This was a key moment for robotics， as the
idea of a robot， including the word ‘robot’ itself， was invented by
Karel Capek and his brother Josef wrote this play.”
　　“Tom believed this should be properly celebrated and formulated
the idea of turning the story around： 100 years ago， a man wrote a play
about robots； what if today， robots wrote a theatre play about men？”
　　While there are now numerous papers focusing on machine-produced
art， including some where computational techniques were used to
produce dialogues or story ideas for plays， the automatic generation of an
entire theatrical performance is an extremely complex task never-before
attempted.
　　Rosa’s team decided to split the production of their play into several
sub-parts.Although other research teams have used this approach to
generate dialogues， few have attempted to produce an entire play.Dr
Rosa said， “Thanks to the approaching anniversary， our main target is
clear and fixed： by January next year， we need to have a play ready for
premiere.As it will be performed by a professional theatre group， we
need to have the script ready in September so that there is enough time for
rehearsals （彩排）.”
　　The researchers started experimenting with pre-trained language
model called GPT-2.Once adequately trained， GPT-2 is able to complete
unfinished texts using similar language and covering related themes.For
example， if GPT-2 is fed the first paragraph of a news article， the model
will try to continue to write a few additional paragraphs on the same
topic， using the existing text for inspiration， while generating sentences
about new concepts.
