AI can create recipes (食谱) depending on what's in the kitchen. More plans are being made to automate great dining kitchens.
At first, technology is often expensive, so restaurants and other businesses use AI kitchen technologies first. Later on, the prices might drop enough for people to use at home. This could change how homes and society work.
The good things about AI kitchens are that cooks don't have to do boring tasks like peeling potatoes or standing at a work area for a long time. This gives them time to do more important things. For people who want personalized food, AI can meet different special diets and tastes.
But there are also risks. Cooking is a good activity that helps with communicating and expressing oneself. But if humans aren't needed in kitchens anymore, these benefits might disappear. Family relationships might not be good without a kitchen where people work together.
Also, the kitchen is like a science lab at home. It's important for science education. Cooking helps kids learn about materials, chemistry and problem- solving.
We also need to think about cultural risks. For example, AI might mess up traditional recipes and methods. It might make cultural details(细节) seem the same or too simple. This could mean that AI and robot cooks make fewer different dishes. If we depend too much on technology to make food, there might not be much variety(多样化) in taste. It's like how AI art pictures on different apps seem similar.
Convenience can have a high cost. So it's important to think about the possible social problems that new technologies might bring, especially in areas like food that are important to our daily lives.
(1)、Why do restaurants use AI kitchen technologies first?A、Because the prices are low for restaurants. B、Because they can afford the expensive technology at first. C、Because they don't like human cooks and they want changes.(2)、What benefit do AI kitchens bring to cooks?A、They make cooks peel potatoes more easily. B、They help cooks stand at a work area comfortably. C、They free up time for cooks to do more important things.(3)、Which of the following is a cultural risk of AI kitchens?A、They might make food more expensive. B、The food may have more different tastes. C、They might make cultural details seem easy.(4)、What is the author's attitude towards AI in kitchens?A、Doubtful. B、Mixed. C、Supportive.14. 阅读下列材料,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。Did you know something about sign language(手语)? Sign language is the main way for deaf people to communicate. Since they can't hear, talking to hearing people can be hard. Luckily, sign language interpreters(译员) are there to help.
Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her mother language, because her parents are deaf. "I picked up sign language before I could even talk," she said. In2018, she became a sign language interpreter in Chongqing. Her work takes her to places like courts(法庭), where she interprets for deaf people in legal(法律上的) cases.
Since sign language has fewer words, Hao often meets difficult words without direct match. In such situations, she carefully breaks down the meaning for deaf people. There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language. "For example, the words 'put out a fire' are signed as 'a fire put out' in sign language, as deaf people describe what they see first," Hao explained.
Hao feels stressed at work because being correct is important in interpretations. Her worry also comes from the fact that sign language has "dialects". The same word can be expressed with different hand gestures(手势) depending on where a deaf person is from. "For example, people in Shanxi and Chongqing use different gestures for the word 'true'," Hao explained. Having traveled to over 30 cities in China, she has learned about the special ways for deaf people across the country to use sign language.
In her spare time, Hao reads many law books and talks with lawyers and her deaf workmates to improve her ability. "My parents are deaf, so I understand the difficulties faced by the deaf community. I want to do everything I can to help them, and I hope more people will join us," Hao said.
(1)、Why are the words "put out a fire" different in sign language?A、Because deaf people describe the things they see first. B、Because deaf people can't express them with hand. C、Because deaf people can't break down the meanings:(2)、Which is the meaning of the underlined word "dialects" in Paragraph 4?A、误差 B、方言 C、区别(3)、What do we know about Hao Shuxin according to the passage?A、She is a deaf lady because her parents are deaf. B、She can match any word with sign language directly. C、She has known the special ways to use sign language.(4)、What is the purpose of the passage?A、To talk about differences between Chinese and sign language. B、To call on more people to take part in helping the deaf. C、To tell people how to express with different hand gestures.四、第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分30分)第二节(共4小题;每小题2分,满分8分)

15. 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
Parents with high expectations for their children are nothing new to Chinese kids. However, people often don't realize that children also have expectations for their parents. China Youth & Children Research Center did a survey in four countries.
The survey found that 83.8% of Chinese children want to be friends with their parents— the greatest amount(数量) among the four countries.
Sophia Ren, 13, has her own thoughts about the subject. Ren is an ABC, or American-born Chinese. Although her family lives in California, they cannot avoid the influence of their Chinese background. "I feel like my friends are closer to their parents. " Ren said. "In Chinese families, you usually don't do things like that."
According to China Youth Daily, traditional Chinese values are stopping parents from becoming friends with their children. As children, what can you do to make home a happy place and make friends with your parents? Here are some tips.
Manage yourselves like an adult.
If you want your parents to give you more freedom, you should show them that you're ready to be treated differently. For example, learn to use self-control. Show them that you can manage your time well.
Open your heart to your parents.
US psychologist(心理学家) Carl E. Pickhardt wrote in Psychology Today that sharing feelings with your parents can lead to positive changes, while not sharing them can cause misunderstandings.
Care for your parents.
For example, help them with some home chores, make them gifts or teach them some computer skills. Their trust in you will grow.
A. Girls tell their moms secrets, and do everything with them.
B. Your parents are always busy with their work every day.
C. This means that they want an equal relationship with their parents.
D. It requires efforts from parents and children to create a friendship in family.
E. Do something nice' or helpful for your parents.

Speaking of respecting the elderly, the first Chinese festival that comes to your mind might be the traditional Double Ninth Festival. The festival is celebrated the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar every year. The festival (know) as Chongyang Festival, too.
One of the main (tradition) during the festival is mountain climbing. People get together with their families and friends to hike up mountains to "stand high and see far". This has been a Chinese tradition since ancient times.
Traditionally, the festival is also a time to drink chrysanthemum wine(菊花酒), eat Chongyang cakes wear cornels(茱萸). The chrysanthemum wine is not only a delicious drink but also believed to be good for health. People also believe that cornels can help to drive out the bad spirits and bring good luck.
However, the Double Ninth Festival is not just a time for climbing mountains and (enjoy) the autumn scenery. More importantly, it is a time to show respect for the elderly.
As nine is the (big) single-digit(个位) number, and its pronunciation sounds the same as "long" in Chinese, the festival shows people's wish for all the elderly to live a long and (health) life. So the day is also seen as a chance (care) for and express thanks to the elderly. Families usually come together and show respect and love for their elder relatives.

18. 阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
George is a 15-year-old middle school student. He didn't use to be interested in English. When he started taking English seriously in Grade Nine, he noticed that his grammar was a serious problem. He couldn't understand the sentences because of the grammar. To fix this, he created a study plan to improve his grammar.
He started by reviewing the basic grammar rules. He realized that he was poor in grammar because he never really understood the rules. For example, he would often mix up verb tenses(时态). To deal with this, he spent a few weeks just going over the basics. It was a little boring at first, but it made a great difference.
One of the turning points for him was when he began keeping a grammar diary. Whenever he made a mistake, he would write it down along with the correct usage. He remembers one time, he kept confusing the past perfect tense with the simple past. Writing out the differences and practicing sentences in his diary helped him internalize(内化) the rules.
After a long time of hard work, George has made great progress in grammar. Now he has a better understanding of English grammar. He can understand different tenses, parts of speech and sentence structures(结构) better. He can also find out and correct the mistakes easily. He likes English a lot now and he is sure that he will get better at English.
In fact, to get better at anything, one needs to find what one is not good at and deal with it head-on. Remember, challenges are also chances. They are chances for you to get better.
(1)、Why couldn't George understand the sentences?(2)、Was it useful for George to review the grammar rules?(3)、How did George deal with the mistakes?(4)、What does George think of English now?(5)、What is the passage mainly about?八、第四部分 读写综合(共两节,满分25分)第二节(共1小题;满分15分)根据要求完成短文写作。
