1选择题
The famous painter, ______ works are displayed in many galleries worldwide, will give a lecture at our school next week.
- A. who
- B. whose
- C. whom
- D. which
答案:B
解析:本题考查定语从句关系词的选择。先行词为“The famous painter”,在从句中作定语修饰“works”,表示“画家的作品”,因此需要使用所有格关系词whose。易错点是误选who或which,忽略所有格关系。
2选择题
It is required that every student ______ the school rules strictly during the examination period.
- A. obeys
- B. obey
- C. obeyed
- D. will obey
答案:B
解析:本题考查虚拟语气。在“It is required that...”结构中,that从句应使用“(should) + 动词原形”的虚拟语气形式。易错点是受主句时态影响,误用一般现在时或过去时。
3选择题
The news ______ the sports meeting has been put off until next Friday made all the students disappointed.
- A. which
- B. what
- C. that
- D. whether
答案:C
解析:本题考查同位语从句。从句“the sports meeting has been put off until next Friday”解释说明了“news”的具体内容,且从句成分完整,应使用that引导。易错点是误用which引导定语从句,或what引导主语从句。
4选择题
______ in the leg during the football match, he had to be sent to hospital immediately.
- A. Injured
- B. Being injured
- C. Having injured
- D. Injuring
答案:A
解析:本题考查非谓语动词作状语。句子主语“he”与动词“injure”之间为被动关系,且“受伤”发生在“被送医院”之前,但此处强调状态,应使用过去分词短语作原因状语。易错点是误用现在分词表示主动,或误用完成式。

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought both opportunities and challenges to modern society. While AI can perform tasks with remarkable speed and accuracy, concerns about its impact on employment and privacy are growing. Some experts argue that AI will create more jobs than it destroys, as new industries emerge to develop and maintain these systems. Others worry that the benefits of AI will be unevenly distributed, leading to increased social inequality.
One of the most significant challenges is ensuring that AI systems are transparent and fair. Biases in training data can lead to discriminatory outcomes in areas such as hiring, lending, and law enforcement. To address this, researchers are working on developing algorithms that can explain their decisions in human-understandable terms.
Despite these challenges, the potential benefits of AI in fields like healthcare, education, and environmental protection are enormous. For example, AI-powered diagnostic tools can help doctors detect diseases earlier, while personalized learning platforms can adapt to individual students' needs.
The key to harnessing the power of AI lies in responsible development and regulation. Governments, industries, and academic institutions must collaborate to establish ethical guidelines and standards that ensure AI serves the common good.
According to the passage, what is one of the main concerns about AI?
- A. It may lead to a shortage of skilled workers.
- B. It could cause unfair treatment in certain areas.
- C. It is too expensive for widespread use.
- D. It lacks the ability to learn from data.
答案:B
解析:本题考查细节理解。根据第二段“Biases in training data can lead to discriminatory outcomes in areas such as hiring, lending, and law enforcement.”可知,人工智能在招聘、贷款和执法等领域可能导致歧视性结果,即不公平对待。易错点是受第一段关于就业影响的干扰而误选A。

What does the author suggest is crucial for the future development of AI?
- A. Accelerating technological innovation.
- B. Increasing public awareness of AI.
- C. Ensuring ethical and responsible development.
- D. Reducing the cost of AI systems.
答案:C
解析:本题考查观点态度。根据最后一段“The key to harnessing the power of AI lies in responsible development and regulation.”以及“establish ethical guidelines and standards”可知,作者认为人工智能未来发展的关键是确保其合乎道德且负责任地发展。易错点是受第二段关于透明和公平的讨论影响而误选B或D。
7填空题
The project ______ (complete) ahead of time, the team leader decided to give everyone a two-day holiday. (用所给词的适当形式填空)
答案:completed
解析:本题考查独立主格结构。句子主语“the team leader”与动词“complete”之间无逻辑主谓关系,且“project”与“complete”为被动关系,表示“项目被提前完成”,应使用过去分词completed构成独立主格结构作原因状语。易错点是误用现在分词completing或完成式having been completed。
8填空题
It is high time that we ______ (take) effective measures to protect the environment. (用所给词的适当形式填空)
答案:took
解析:本题考查虚拟语气。在“It is high time that...”结构中,that从句应使用一般过去时或“should + 动词原形”(should不可省略)的虚拟语气形式,表示“早该做某事了”。易错点是误用一般现在时或将来时。
