英语试卷
一、阅读理解
根据短文内容，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选择一个正确答案。
A
Although nowadays her images are often used on coffee cups and T-shirts, and the movies based on her life or her novels are often box-office hits, Jane Austen, one of the most important English novelists of the 19th century, spent her short, quiet life away from public attention. For most of her life she lived in a rural area of southern England where she was born. Her formal education was limited to a short time at boarding school.
Austen started writing at the age of twelve, for her family’s amusement and her own. In 1803 one publisher paid 10 for the copyright of the novel we now know as Northanger Abbey, but then refused to publish it, so Austen had to go to great lengths to buy it back. Later, she published Sense and Sensibility in 1811 at her own expense, which was a big success. Her other significant works came out over the following years. Northanger Abbey was finally published in 1818, one year after her death at age 41.
Her novels are all, in Austen’s own words, “pictures of life in country villages,” but the details reflect the influence of the great social changes. Through their heroines (女主人公), readers can see how difficult women’s life were during a period when a lady’s security depended on her making a good marriage. But would the marriage hurt the independence of mind This was the key issue that Austen and her heroines cared most about.
Instead of using a male pseudonym (笔名), which was a common practice for women writers at her time, Austen just signed “a lady” as the author of her books. It seemed modest (谦逊的), but her writing voice was so confident and sharp, laughing at what was widely accepted as traditions. For Austen, to live was to be herself, and her quietness was indeed a loud voice against the established conventions.
1. Why is Austen’s popularity mentioned in the first paragraph
A．To highlight her importance in fashion.
B．To make a comparison with her real life.
C．To explain the reasons behind her success.
D．To give an introduction to her achievements.
2. What do we know about the book Northanger Abbey
A．It was Austen’s first published book.
B．Its publication was a difficult process.
C．It made Austen popular with readers.
D．Its copyright was sold to another writer.
3. Why did Austen use “a lady” as the author of her books
A．To challenge traditions.
B．To follow the trends.
C．To show her modesty.
D．To hide her identity.
B
Theo works days, nights, and weekends in the tulip (郁金香) fields in the Netherlands and never complains about tired muscles. How is this possible Theo, named after a retired farmer, is a high-tech robot in the battle to root out disease from the fields.
The robot rolls along rows of yellow and red tulips, checking each plant and, when necessary, killing diseased bulbs (鳞茎) to prevent the spread of the tulip-breaking virus. The virus weakens the bulb, leaving them unable to flower. The dead bulbs are removed from healthy ones in a sorting center after they have been harvested. There are 45 robots like Theo working in the tulip fields of the Netherlands. Their job becomes important as the winter turns to spring and peak season nears, when people come from around the world to admire the colorful flowers.
In the past, this work was carried out by knowledgeable farmers. Allan Visser is a third-generation tulip farmer who is using the robot. “You could buy a very nice sports car for the price of the robot,” Visser said. The robot costs 185,000 euros. “It’s a lot slower than a sports car, rolling on caterpillar tracks through fields,” he added. “But I choose the robot because a sports car doesn’t see the sick tulips. Now there are fewer and fewer people who can really do that.”
The robots have been trained to detect sick plants. They have cameras and take thousands of photos of the tulips. Their AI model examines the photos, hunting out signs on sick plants, and decides which ones need to be killed. The engineer explains the robots use GPS to be sure they are destroying the correct tulips. The heart of the machine is the knowledge put into the AI model, which comes from experienced tulip farmers like Theo van der Voort, who gave his name to the robot.
Van der Voort retired after 52 years of looking for sick flowers in his fields. “It’s fantastic,” he said. “It sees just as much as I see.”
4. What does the robot do
A．Plant new tulips.
B．Clear troubled bulbs.
C．Kill deadly virus.
D．Harvest grown flowers.
5. What is the key to making the robots work effectively
A．GPS systems.
B．High-tech cameras.
C．Daily training.
D．Human knowledge.
6. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Theo’s Watch: An Advance in Tulip Farming
B．Al Robots: A Replacement for Aging Farmers
C．Tulip Seasons: An Attraction of the Netherlands
D．Visser’s Practice: A Tradition in Tulip Businesses
C
Parents of teenagers often view their children’s friends with distrust, worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers (同龄人) into doing something foolish or even dangerous. Their worries hold water. In a previous study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of traffic accidents than one driving alone or with an adult.
In the following years, Steinberg examined why teens were more likely to take risks in the company of other teenagers. In a later study, by scanning the brains of 40 teens and adults, Steinberg found the brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two regions associated with rewards when they were being observed by same-age peers. The reward systems of the brain are activated whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which make them feel satisfied. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which motivates them to seek higher-risk experiences.
But Steinberg thought peer pressure might also have its positive side. In the latest study, Steinberg’s team used a card game to research how peers affect the way young people gather and apply information. It involved 101 teenage boys who played either alone or with three peers. They chose cards from four decks (牌堆): two decks had “good” cards, and two “bad” ones. Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them to win. The results showed that teens playing with their peers engage in more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.
Now some experts are proposing that we should take advantage of the teens’ keen sensitivity (敏感) to the presence of friends to improve education. “Risk taking in an educational context is a vital skill that enables progress and creativity,” wrote Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, a professor at University College London.
7. What do the underlined words “hold water” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Bring relief.
B．Face doubts.
C．Start debates.
D．Make sense.
8. What is the reason behind teens’ dangerous behavior
A．A sense of satisfaction.
B．Lack of social experience.
C．Eagerness to follow their friends.
D．Inability to tell right from wrong.
9. How does risk-taking affect teens in the latest study
A．It starts fights between them.
B．It inspires them to question.
C．It helps them to learn better.
D．It weakens their independence.
10. What would Blakemore suggest teachers do in the classroom
A．Set presentation tasks.
B．Improve time management.
C．Develop decision-making skills.
D．Encourage independent thinking.
二、段落排序
11. 将下列几个部分(A、B、C、D 和 E)按题号排序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。
A. At 3:42 a.m., everything began to shake. It seemed as if the world were coming to an end! In less than one minute, a large city lay in ruins.

Be smart AI learners
Dear teachers and classmates,
Now AI tools are widely used in our study. On one hand, AI can quickly solve difficult problems and provide learning materials, greatly improving our learning efficiency. On the other hand, over-reliance on AI will make us lose our independent thinking ability, and copying AI answers directly is also bad for our study.
Here are my suggestions. First, use AI only to help sort out knowledge points after thinking independently. Second, we must learn to judge the accuracy of AI information. Third, never use AI to finish homework instead of ourselves.
Let us become smart AI learners and make AI a real helper for our growth. Thank you!
