五、阅读理解
（2024 无锡宜兴期中）“David! It's late!” It's a woman's voice. It's a voice he knows.
David opens his eyes. His mother is standing at the door of his bedroom.
“Do you know what time it is?” 图1 asks.
“Emm...” says David.
“It's eight o'clock! You are late for school! Now hurry up!” His mother goes back to the kitchen.
David lives alone with his mother. He hasn't got a father. He hasn't got any brothers or sisters. And he hasn't got a pet. He likes cats, but his mother says he can't have one. She says they can't have a cat because they haven't got a garden. David thinks his mother simply doesn't want a cat. A boy in his class lives in a flat and he has a cat. And David knows that pirates（海盗）have cats, and they haven't got gardens!
“Eat your breakfast quickly, love,” says his mother.
She is making his lunch. She works at the hospital and she is wearing her nurse's uniform. She starts work in half an hour and she is in a hurry.
“OK,” David replies, starting to eat his cereal. His mother looks quite serious. He knows she worries about him a lot.
“Sorry, I'm late, Mum.”
“Now don't forget your sandwiches,” she says. “Don't worry.”
But ten minutes later, when David runs out of the front door to catch the bus, his lunch is still on the table.
And then David misses the bus.
He waits another fifteen minutes for the next one. When it arrives, he gets on and goes up the stairs to sit on the top floor. He sees that he is the only person on the bus wearing the uniform of Westbourne High School. He is very late.

【语篇导读】本文介绍了小男孩戴维一次上学迟到的经历。
1. C 提示:细节理解题。根据第六段中“David thinks his mother simply doesn't want a cat.”可知,戴维认为自己不能在家养猫是因为他妈妈不想养猫。
2. A 提示:词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“He knows she worries about him a lot.”可知,戴维知道妈妈很担心他,所以他妈妈应该看起来很严肃。因此画线单词的意思是“严肃的”。
3. D 提示:最佳标题题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了小男孩戴维在一天早上上学迟到的经历。故选项D“男孩一天的麻烦”最适合作标题。

六、信息还原(七选五)
(2025镇江扬中期中)This term, our teacher introduced a fun AI tool to help us study—it’s called “Little Learning Buddy”, and it’s become my new helper for homework and practice. 1 Let me tell you how it makes learning easier and more interesting.
First, it helps me with English. When I can’t read a new word, I type it into the AI, and it reads the word slowly and tells me its meaning. 2 Last week, I practised English dialogues with it too—I said sentences about “my hobbies”, and it corrected my pronunciation if I made a mistake. Now I’m more confident(自信的) to speak English in class!
Second, it helps with Maths practice. I can choose easy or a little hard Maths problems based on(基于) what we learned that day. 3 If I get a problem wrong, it doesn’t just tell me the answer—it shows me step by step how to solve it, like a patient teacher.
But my favourite part is the “fun fact” time. After finishing 20 minutes of practice, the AI shares a short, interesting fact—like “How does AI recognize pictures?” or “What can AI do in daily life?” 4 I learned that some AI can help sort garbage or even help doctors check simple health problems!
Our teacher told us to use AI wisely. 5 It’s a helper, not a replacement(替代品) for our own thinking. So I always try to do homework by myself first, then use the AI to check and learn. This way, I get better at studying and also know how to use new tech!
