Anaesthesia Inventor: Horace Wells Year: 1844 What Happened: In its salad days, N₂O was strictly a party toy, since it made people howl like hyenas (土狼). But a friend of the dentist took too much of the stuff at a laughing-gas stage show and cut his leg. However, the friend hadn’t realized he’d hurt himself. As a result, Nitrous oxide became an early form of anaesthesia. Saccharin Inventors: Constantin Fahlberg and Ira Remsen Year: 1879 What Happened: After spending the day studying coal tar (沥青) byproducts, Fahlberg left his Johns Hopkins laboratory and went to dinner. Something he ate tasted particularly sweet, which he traced to a chemical compound he’d spilled on his hand. Best of all, it contained no calorie. As a result, he cut Remsen and the university out of millions of dollars when he secretly patented the breakthrough discovery, saccharin. Silly Putty Inventor: James Wright Year: 1943 What Happened: During the war years, the General Electric engineer combined C6H18OSi2 and HBrO3 in an attempt to find a cheap alternative to rubber for tank footboard (脚踏板). It didn’t work. But the scientists had fun bouncing and stretching the mix, when they weren’t using it to transfer comics onto paper. Kids ended up having fun playing with the Silly Putty too. Brandy Inventor: A Dutch shipmaster Year: 16th century What Happened: He used heat to concentrate wine in order to make it easier to transport, with the idea of adding water to recover it when he arrived. Unexpectedly, concentrated wine tasted better than watered-down wine. Since then, “Burnt wine” or “brandewijn” in Dutch, has become a big hit. Call it brandy, since after a few drinks of the stuff, there’s no way you can pronounce brandewijn so no waiter can understand what you’re ordering. 1. What can we learn about saccharin? A. It is calorie-free. B. It is costly. C. It is a lab byproduct. D. It is illegal. 2. Which of the inventions is a toy for kids? A. Anaesthesia. B. Saccharin. C. Silly Putty. D. Brandy. 3. What do they have in common? A. They are eatable. B. They were invented in wartime. C. They are organic compounds. D. They were discovered accidentally. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了世界上因偶然而有的几项发明。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据介绍Saccharin部分的句子“After spending the day studying coal tar (沥青) byproducts, Fahlberg left his Johns Hopkins laboratory and went to dinner. Something he ate tasted particularly sweet, which he traced to a chemical compound he’d spilled on his hand. Best of all, it contained no calorie.(花了一天时间研究煤焦油副产品后，法尔伯格离开了他在约翰霍普金斯大学的实验室，去吃晚饭。他吃的东西尝起来特别甜，他认为这是他洒在手上的一种化合物。最重要的是，它不含卡路里。)”可知，糖精不含卡路里。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据介绍Silly Putty的句子“During the war years, the General Electric engineer combined C6H18OSi2 and HBrO3 in an attempt to find a cheap alternative to rubber for tank footboard (脚踏板). It didn’t work. But the scientists had fun bouncing and stretching the mix, when they weren’t using it to transfer comics onto paper. Kids ended up having fun playing with the Silly Putty too.(在战争年代，通用电气的工程师将C6H18OSi2和HBrO3结合起来，试图找到一种廉价的橡胶替代品，用于坦克踏板。但没有成功。但当科学家们不用它把漫画转印到纸上时，他们很喜欢弹跳和拉伸这种混合物。孩子们最后也玩得很开心。)”可知，Silly Putty是孩子们的玩具。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一句“Chance played a major role in some of the world’s great inventions, from Anaesthesia to Brandy.(机遇在世界上一些伟大的发明中发挥了重要作用，从麻醉到白兰地。)”和文中介绍的几项发明可知，他们的共同点是它们都是偶然被发现的。故选D项。 B When Chloe Chong thinks back to her childhood, her six-year-old self would never have dared to dream she would be where she is now. This weekend the 16-year-old will be competing at the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, as part of the F1 Academy support race. Chloe’s decision to start racing came about when she was as young as five. She always wanted to go into a car, and that eventually happened when she begged and begged her parents, who weren’t into racing, really. “We once watched F1 together and that brought about a passion for sport in me,” recalled Chloe. Chloe did think about going straight into the F1 big league, but her dad reminded her of the hard work needed along the way. That’s how she started in karting (卡丁车运动) on the track where Lewis Hamilton, her hero, began, as all champions do. But moving from karting to racing cars has been a massive adjustment. The former builds the rhythm and the overtaking while there’s just a whole different level of detail about racing cars, which causes not only a lot more analysis but more communications with the engineer and the team. Nevertheless, more strategy is what Chloe thinks the biggest adjustment for her and probably the hardest part that has taken the most time. At 16, Chloe is too young to legally drive on British roads but has been flying along at 150mph in her F1 Academy car on the track this year. Chloe’s aims for the season were just to complete races, but after finishing sixth in her first race she created a really progressive moment that will live with her forever. The race in Texas this weekend is the only support race for the F1 Academy, but that will change from next year with the all-female junior category holding all its rounds as support races for it. Chloe feels these types of moves in motorsport are a massive step forward for women, especially in terms of budgets, which, she thinks, is one of the biggest challenges. 4. What caused Chloe to start racing? A. Her father’s permission. B. Her parents’ passion. C. Awakened desire in her. D. Lewis Hamilton’s encouragement. 5. What is the most difficult for Chloe from karting to racing cars? A. Devoting most time. B. Navigating a strategy-centered shift. C. Being faster and more rhythmic. D. Making analysis and communications. 6. Which of the following best describes Chloe? A. Determined and devoted. B. Generous and adventurous. C. Economical and practical. D. Responsible and agreeable. 7. What is Chloe’s attitude towards women’s motorsport? A. Realistic. B. Pessimistic. C. Idealistic. D. Optimistic. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了16岁女孩Chloe Chong实现了自己的赛车梦，她即将参加得克萨斯州的F1学院支持赛。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Chloe’s decision to start racing came about when she was as young as five. She always wanted to go into a car, and that eventually happened when she begged and begged her parents, who weren’t into racing, really.(Chloe在五岁时就决定开始参加比赛。她总是想要进入赛车，当她不断地恳求她的父母时，终于实现了这一愿望，而她的父母其实并不喜欢赛车)”可知，Chloe在五岁时就喜欢上的赛车，她一直想想要进入赛车，由此可推测出，是Chloe自己内心的渴望促使她开始赛车运动。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Nevertheless, more strategy is what Chloe thinks the biggest adjustment for her and probably the hardest part that has taken the most time. (然而，更多的策略是Chloe认为对她来说最大的调整，也可能是耗时最多的最困难的部分)”可知，Chloe从卡丁车运动转向赛车的最大困难在于：她需要适应策略为中心的转变。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Chloe’s decision to start racing came about when she was as young as five. She always wanted to go into a car, and that eventually happened when she begged and begged her parents, who weren’t into racing, really.(Chloe在五岁时就决定开始参加比赛。她总是想要进入赛车，当她不断地恳求她的父母时，终于实现了这一愿望，而她的父母其实并不喜欢赛车)”可知，Chloe在五岁时就决定开始赛车，并且为了实现这一愿望，她不断地恳求父母，最终得偿所愿，由此可推测出，她是一个有决心的人。根据第二段中的“Chloe did think about going straight into the F1 big league, but her dad reminded her of the hard work needed along the way. That’s how she started in karting (卡丁车运动) on the track where Lewis Hamilton, her hero, began, as all champions do.(Chloe确实考虑过直接进入F1大联盟，但她的父亲提醒她一路上需要付出艰苦的努力。这就是她如何在她的英雄Lewis Hamilton开始的赛道上开始卡丁车运动，就像所有冠军一样)”和倒数第二段中的“At 16, Chloe is too young to legally drive on British roads but has been flying along at 150mph in her F1 Academy car on the track this year.(16岁的Chloe还太小，不能在英国公路上合法驾驶，但今年她一直在赛道上以150英里/小时的速度驾驶她的F1学院赛车)”可知，Chloe从5岁到16岁都在坚持自己的赛车梦想，并且向自己的英雄Lewis Hamilton学习，从卡丁车运动开始，而且尽管她因为年龄原因不能在合法上路行驶，但她一直在赛道上练习驾驶，由此可推测出，她是一个对赛车全心全意的人。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Chloe feels these types of moves in motorsport are a massive step forward for women, especially in terms of budgets, which, she thinks, is one of the biggest challenges.(Chloe认为，赛车运动中的这些行动对女性来说是一个巨大的进步，尤其是在预算方面，她认为这是最大的挑战之一)”可推知，她对女性赛车运动持乐观的态度。故选D。 C How does the brain represent sentences? This is one of the fundamental questions in brain science, because sentences are an example of abstract structural knowledge that is not directly observable from speech. While all sentences are made up of smaller building blocks, such as words and phrases, not all combinations of words or phrases lead to sentences. Lise Meitner Group Leader Andrea Martin already had a theory on how the brain interprets linguistic structure, based on evidence from computer simulation. To further test this “time-based” model, Martin and colleagues set out to investigate whether the brain responds differently to sentences and phrases, and if this could suggest how the brain encodes abstract structure. The researchers created sets of spoken phrases (the red vase) and sentences (the vase is red), which were identical in duration and number of syllables in Dutch, and highly similar in meaning. They also created pictures with objects in five different colors. Fifteen adult Dutch speakers participated in the experiment. For each spoken stimulus (刺激), they were asked to perform one of three tasks in random order. The first task was structure-related, as participants had to decide whether they had heard a phrase or a sentence by pushing a button. The second and third task were meaning-related, as participants had to decide whether the color or object of the spoken stimulus matched the picture that followed. As expected, the activation patterns of neurons (神经细胞) in the brain were different for phrases and sentences, in terms of both timing and strength of neural connections. “Our findings show how the brain separates speech into linguistic structure by using the timing and connectivity of neural firing patterns. These signals from the brain provide a fresh basis for future research on how our brains create language”, says Martin. “In principle, the time-based method could be used for machine learning systems that interface with spoken language comprehension in order to represent abstract structure, something machine systems currently struggle with.” 8. Why is a question raised in Paragraph 1? A. To highlight the complexity of human brain. B. To predict the evolution trend of brain science. C. To explain the structural knowledge in sentences. D. To introduce the research conducted by Andrea Martin. 9. What does the underlined word “simulation” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Input. B. Investigation. C. Modelling. D. Testing. 10. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The setting of the research. B. The process of the research. C. The innovative aspects of the research. D. The scientific basis of the research. 11. What can be learned from Martin’s comments? A. The research approach can be further applied to AI. B. The findings of the research need to be further identified. C Human brain performs much better than what computer struggles with. D. The brain’s capacity for interpreting sentences can be transferred to computer. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于大脑是如何表达句子的研究，解释了研究的开展以及未来的应用。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“How does the brain represent sentences? This is one of the fundamental questions in brain science, because sentences are an example of abstract structural knowledge that is not directly observable from speech. While all sentences are made up of smaller building blocks, such as words and phrases, not all combinations of words or phrases lead to sentences.(大脑是如何表达句子的？这是脑科学中的一个基本问题，因为句子是抽象结构知识的一个例子，不能从言语中直接观察到。虽然所有的句子都是由更小的构建块组成的，比如单词和短语，但并不是所有的单词或短语组合都能构成句子)”以及第二段“Lise Meitner Group Leader Andrea Martin already had a theory on how the brain interprets linguistic structure, based on evidence from computer simulation.(Lise Meitner小组组长Andrea Martin已经有了一个基于计算机模拟证据的关于大脑如何解释语言结构的理论)”可知，第1段提出了一个问题是为了引入Andrea Martin所做的研究。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“To further test this “time-based” model, Martin and colleagues set out to investigate whether the brain responds differently to sentences and phrases, and if this could suggest how the brain encodes abstract structure.(为了进一步测试这种“基于时间”的模型，马丁和同事们开始研究大脑对句子和短语的反应是否不同，以及这是否能说明大脑是如何对抽象结构进行编码的)”可知，Andrea Martin已经有了一个基于计算机模型证据的关于大脑如何解释语言结构的理论。故划线词意思是“模仿”。故选C。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The researchers created sets of spoken phrases (the red vase) and sentences (the vase is red), which were identical in duration and number of syllables in Dutch, and highly similar in meaning. They also created pictures with objects in five different colors. Fifteen adult Dutch speakers participated in the experiment. For each spoken stimulus (刺激), they were asked to perform one of three tasks in random order. The first task was structure-related, as participants had to decide whether they had heard a phrase or a sentence by pushing a button. The second and third task were meaning-related, as participants had to decide whether the color or object of the spoken stimulus matched the picture that followed.(研究人员创造了一组口语短语（红色的花瓶）和句子（红色的花瓶），它们在荷兰语的持续时间和音节数量上是相同的，在意义上也非常相似。他们还用五种不同颜色的物体制作了图片。15名说荷兰语的成年人参加了这项实验。对于每一个口头刺激，他们被要求按随机顺序执行三个任务中的一个。第一个任务与结构有关，参与者必须通过按按钮来决定他们听到的是一个短语还是一个句子。第二和第三个任务是与意义相关的，因为参与者必须决定口头刺激的颜色或物体是否与随后的图片相匹配)”可知，第三段的主要内容是研究的过程。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““Our findings show how the brain separates speech into linguistic structure by using the timing and connectivity of neural firing patterns. These signals from the brain provide a fresh basis for future research on how our brains create language”, says Martin. “In principle, the time-based method could be used for machine learning systems that interface with spoken language comprehension in order to represent abstract structure, something machine systems currently struggle with.”(“我们的研究结果表明，大脑是如何利用神经放电模式的时间和连通性将语音分成语言结构的。这些来自大脑的信号为未来研究大脑如何创造语言提供了新的基础。”马丁说。“原则上，基于时间的方法可以用于与口语理解相结合的机器学习系统，以表示抽象结构，这是机器系统目前难以做到的。”)”可知，研究方法可以进一步应用于人工智能。故选A。 D In 1990, Gibson and Bruce Sterling’s The Difference Engine imagined an alternative history where computers were built a century earlier with gears (齿轮), helping popularize steampunk, a style of blending old and new technologies. How breathtaking when technology could be constructed from the past’s parts! But what if the world truly worked this way? Is digital perfection too much trustworthy? It might be better to see it not as a glimpse into the future, but as a legacy from the past, with all the problems handed down. In January 2023, the grounding of U.S. planes caused delays and losses when the outdated NOTAM system from 1920 failed. In a steampunk-inspired Doctor Who episode, heroes discover the engine of a spaceship is futuristic by appearance but a tortured, whale-like creature, driven like a horse under the whip. Those who grow curious face social pressure, punishment, and distractions to be kept ignorant. Steampunk tales revisit Victorian power structures of the authorities, where bosses promise a bright future while hiding the suffering that fuels it. These elements provoke reflection on today’s world: Who truly labors behind the scenes? Are they living the bright future promised to others? Steampunk machines, both extraordinary and romantic, often stir up sadness as their parts wear out, demanding constant attention to function. In Pushing Ice, researchers land on an alien spaceship, only to be trapped as it accelerates into deep space. With no choice, they construct a chain of gears to control its energy, inspecting every gear daily; even a single malfunction could lead to death. Ultimately, it is humans—weak, imperfect, tending to aging machines—that sustain us. This steampunk-like view of technology, blending old and new, is particularly relevant today, when modern technologies often distract us from their inner workings. Just as we receive instant Amazon orders, we may soon depend on AI, focusing on results without questioning the process. The risks of this relationship to technology are self-evident. Yet it’s not so hard to adjust, imagining a forest of gears turning, wondering if they fit. It’s all less perfect than it seems. 12. What does the NOTAM system illustrate? A. A proof of trustworthy digital perfection. B. A perfect mix of old and new technologies. C. A necessity of a breathtaking glimpse into future. D. A display of a future-like yet problematic heritage. 13. What is typical of steampunk stories? A. They draw on Victorian society. B. They are starred by the cruel bosses. C. They are fueled by a promising future. D. They think highly of behind-the-scene labors. 14. How is the passage mainly developed? A. By presenting facts. B. By analyzing reasons. C. By listing examples. D. By following time order. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Perfect Machine: A Victory Fantasy B. Imperfect Progress: A Steampunk Insight C. Unfailing or not? Machines of Tomorrow D. Perfect or not? The Steampunk Revolution 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了蒸汽朋克，一种融合新旧技术的风格，它既有重要性也有不完美性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It might be better to see it not as a glimpse into the future, but as a legacy from the past, with all the problems handed down.(最好不要把它看作是对未来的一瞥，而是把它看作是过去遗留下来的问题。)”可知，NOTAM系统展示了一个类似未来但存在问题的遗产。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Steampunk tales revisit Victorian power structures of the authorities, where bosses promise a bright future while hiding the suffering that fuels it.(蒸汽朋克的故事重温了维多利亚时代的权力结构，在那里，老板们承诺一个光明的未来，同时隐藏着推动未来的痛苦。)”可知，典型的蒸汽朋克故事是他们借鉴了维多利亚时代的社会。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In January 2023, the grounding of U.S. planes caused delays and losses when the outdated NOTAM system from 1920 failed.(2023年1月，由于1920年过时的NOTAM系统出现故障，美国飞机停飞，造成延误和损失。)”和第三段“In a steampunk-inspired  Doctor Who  episode, heroes discover the engine of a spaceship is futuristic by appearance but a tortured, whale-like creature, driven like a horse under the whip.(在这部蒸汽朋克风格的《神秘博士》中，英雄们发现一艘宇宙飞船的引擎从外观上看是未来派的，但实际上是一个像鲸鱼一样的生物，像鞭子下的马一样被驱赶着。)”和第四段“In Pushing Ice, researchers land on an alien spaceship, only to be trapped as it accelerates into deep space.(在《推冰》中，研究人员登上了一艘外星飞船，却在飞船加速进入深空时被困住了。)”可知，这篇文章主要通过列举例子来展开的。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。分析全文内容再根据文章最后一段“This steampunk-like view of technology, blending old and new, is particularly relevant today, when modern technologies often distract us from their inner workings.(这种蒸汽朋克式的科技观融合了旧与新，在现代科技经常分散我们对其内部工作原理的注意力的今天尤为重要。)”和“Yet it’s not so hard to adjust, imagining a forest of gears turning, wondering if they fit. It’s all less perfect than it seems.(然而，调整起来并不难，想象一个齿轮森林在转动，想知道它们是否合适。一切都没有看起来那么完美。)”可知，文章主要介绍了蒸汽朋克，一种融合新旧技，它既有重要性也有不完美性，所以C选项“不完美的进步：蒸汽朋克的见解”适合用作文章标题。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。 A cruising holiday offers fun, excitement, relaxation and memorable experiences for everyone. ____16____ Start the Fun Early You can start enjoying the MedallionClass experience well before you get on board, by completing the simple-to-follow ocean ready steps. ____17____ They include any special needs, dietary restrictions, or assistance with moving around.

I jumped into the front seat, and Kyle dived into the back. “You made it! Good job!” Her voice not cheery, mom looked into the darkened sky. “Nikki, turn up the radio.” The announcer reported, “High wind warning for central and eastern Colorado. Gusts up to seventy-five miles per hour. Seek shelter inside.” I looked into the gloom but saw nothing dangerous. Then... Blam! Something slammed into the front window glass. Hard. Mom hit the brakes and the car came to a sudden stop. “Everyone OK?” We were both saying “yes,” but I gasped when I saw the little hawk (鹰) sprawled across the hood (引擎盖). Tears trickled down Mom’s cheeks. “I couldn’t stop in time. That hawk flew right into us.” She fumbled to release her seat belt and opened the door. A gust of wind whooshed in. “You two stay here,” she called over her shoulder, but I was already unlocking my seat belt and opening the door. And where I went, Kyle followed. A gust of wind blew the hawk across the hood. I reached out and caught it before it could fall to the ground. It was so soft, so warm. “Is it...? Is it... dead?” Kyle stammered. The hawk was not moving. “We’ve got to get out of this wind!” Mom shouted. “Load the hawk in the back.” She popped open the hatch. Kyle and I gently scooped up the hawk, our backs to the wind to protect it. The hawk’s feathers were shades of brown, with white wing tips. Maybe I saw it lift its head, just a little as we slid it into the car. Or was that just the wind? We finally pulled into the garage an hour later. Mom let out a big sigh. “Home safe!” Kyle and I jumped out of the car and peered at the hawk through the back window. “It’s alive! I saw the head move!” Kyle shouted, “Let’s name it Stormy.” We cupped the poor thing and cautiously carried it back home. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One day, the center called to invite us to release Stormy together. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Version 1 We cupped the poor thing and cautiously carried it back home. Mom immediately contacted the local wildlife rescue center, and a professional arrived soon after. He examined the hawk and reassured us that, although it was injured, it could recover with proper care. Relieved, we handed Stormy over, hoping it would heal quickly. Over the next few weeks, Kyle and I often asked about its condition. Each update brought us joy — Stormy was growing stronger day by day. One day, the center called to invite us to release Stormy together. Excitement filled our hearts as we arrived at a vast meadow under a clear blue sky. The hawk, now fully recovered, stood tall in the carrier, its eyes sharp and bright. When the rescuer opened the cage, Stormy hesitated for a moment before spreading its magnificent wings and taking flight. We watched in awe as it soared higher and higher, disappearing into the horizon — a symbol of resilience and freedom. Version 2 We cupped the poor thing and cautiously carried it back home. Mom immediately reached out to the local wildlife rescue center. Not long after, a professional arrived to assess the bird’s condition. After a thorough examination, he reassured us that, although the hawk had sustained injuries, it was not beyond recovery and would likely heal with the right care. Relieved but still anxious, we entrusted Stormy to him, our hopes high for its swift recovery. In the weeks that followed, Kyle and I eagerly inquired about its progress, and each report filled us with joy as we learned that Stormy was growing stronger with every passing day. One day the center called to invite us to release Stormy together. Our hearts raced with excitement as we arrived at a wide-open meadow beneath a cloudless blue sky. The hawk, now fully healed, stood proudly in its carrier, its eyes alert and full of life. When the rescuer gently opened the cage, Stormy paused for a brief moment before unfolding its majestic wings and taking to the sky. We stood in awe as it rose higher and higher, disappearing beyond the horizon — its flight a beautiful reminder of the harmony between all living creatures and the natural world. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以人物为线索。在妈妈接作者和弟弟Kyle放学回家的路上，一只鹰撞到了车上。当时有大风，于是他们把鹰装进车里带回了家，并联系了当地的野生动物救援中心。在救援中心的照顾下，这只鹰慢慢恢复了，后来作者一家被邀请一起见证这只鹰被放归大自然。 【详解】1. 续写线索： ①由续写第一段首句“我们捧起可怜的东西，小心翼翼地把它带回家。”可知，第一段讲述将这只鹰带回家后，妈妈联系了当地的野生动物救援中心并把鹰交给他们照顾，作者和弟弟经常询问鹰的情况。 ②由续写第二段首句“有一天，该中心打电话邀请我们一起释放Stormy。”可知，第二段讲述了鹰被释放的过程以及作者的感悟。 2. 段落续写：把鹰带回家——联系救助机构——救助人员告知鹰情况良好——将鹰交给救助人员——定期关注鹰的状况——被邀请一起将鹰放归——见证了鹰回归大自然的经过——感悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①联系：contact/connect ②检查：examine/check ③到达：arrive at/reach 情绪类 ①高兴：joy/delight ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】【高分句型1】Relieved, we handed Stormy over, hoping it would heal quickly.(使用了形容词作状语、现在分词作状语、省略that的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】The hawk, now fully recovered, stood tall in the carrier, its eyes sharp and bright.

Anaesthesia Inventor: Horace Wells Year: 1844 What Happened: In its salad days, N₂O was strictly a party toy, since it made people howl like hyenas (土狼). But a friend of the dentist took too much of the stuff at a laughing-gas stage show and cut his leg. However, the friend hadn’t realized he’d hurt himself. As a result, Nitrous oxide became an early form of anaesthesia. Saccharin Inventors: Constantin Fahlberg and Ira Remsen Year: 1879 What Happened: After spending the day studying coal tar (沥青) byproducts, Fahlberg left his Johns Hopkins laboratory and went to dinner. Something he ate tasted particularly sweet, which he traced to a chemical compound he’d spilled on his hand. Best of all, it contained no calorie. As a result, he cut Remsen and the university out of millions of dollars when he secretly patented the breakthrough discovery, saccharin. Silly Putty Inventor: James Wright Year: 1943 What Happened: During the war years, the General Electric engineer combined C6H18OSi2 and HBrO3 in an attempt to find a cheap alternative to rubber for tank footboard (脚踏板). It didn’t work. But the scientists had fun bouncing and stretching the mix, when they weren’t using it to transfer comics onto paper. Kids ended up having fun playing with the Silly Putty too. Brandy Inventor: A Dutch shipmaster Year: 16th century What Happened: He used heat to concentrate wine in order to make it easier to transport, with the idea of adding water to recover it when he arrived. Unexpectedly, concentrated wine tasted better than watered-down wine. Since then, “Burnt wine” or “brandewijn” in Dutch, has become a big hit. Call it brandy, since after a few drinks of the stuff, there’s no way you can pronounce brandewijn so no waiter can understand what you’re ordering. 1. What can we learn about saccharin? A. It is calorie-free. B. It is costly. C. It is a lab byproduct. D. It is illegal. 2. Which of the inventions is a toy for kids? A. Anaesthesia. B. Saccharin. C. Silly Putty. D. Brandy. 3. What do they have in common? A. They are eatable. B. They were invented in wartime. C. They are organic compounds. D. They were discovered accidentally. B When Chloe Chong thinks back to her childhood, her six-year-old self would never have dared to dream she would be where she is now. This weekend the 16-year-old will be competing at the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, as part of the F1 Academy support race. Chloe’s decision to start racing came about when she was as young as five. She always wanted to go into a car, and that eventually happened when she begged and begged her parents, who weren’t into racing, really. “We once watched F1 together and that brought about a passion for sport in me,” recalled Chloe. Chloe did think about going straight into the F1 big league, but her dad reminded her of the hard work needed along the way. That’s how she started in karting (卡丁车运动) on the track where Lewis Hamilton, her hero, began, as all champions do. But moving from karting to racing cars has been a massive adjustment. The former builds the rhythm and the overtaking while there’s just a whole different level of detail about racing cars, which causes not only a lot more analysis but more communications with the engineer and the team. Nevertheless, more strategy is what Chloe thinks the biggest adjustment for her and probably the hardest part that has taken the most time. At 16, Chloe is too young to legally drive on British roads but has been flying along at 150mph in her F1 Academy car on the track this year. Chloe’s aims for the season were just to complete races, but after finishing sixth in her first race she created a really progressive moment that will live with her forever. The race in Texas this weekend is the only support race for the F1 Academy but that will change from next year with the all-female junior category holding all its rounds as support races for it. Chloe feels these types of moves in motorsport are a massive step forward for women, especially in terms of budgets, which, she thinks, is one of the biggest challenges. 4.

This is one of the fundamental questions in brain science, because sentences are an example of abstract structural knowledge that is not directly observable from speech. While all sentences are made up of smaller building blocks, such as words and phrases, not all combinations of words or phrases lead to sentences. Lise Meitner Group Leader Andrea Martin already had a theory on how the brain interprets linguistic structure, based on evidence from computer simulation. To further test this “time-based” model, Martin and colleagues set out to investigate whether the brain responds differently to sentences and phrases, and if this could suggest how the brain encodes abstract structure. The researchers created sets of spoken phrases (the red vase) and sentences (the vase is red), which were identical in duration and number of syllables in Dutch, and highly similar in meaning. They also created pictures with objects in five different colors. Fifteen adult Dutch speakers participated in the experiment. For each spoken stimulus (刺激), they were asked to perform one of three tasks in random order. The first task was structure-related, as participants had to decide whether they had heard a phrase or a sentence by pushing a button. The second and third task were meaning-related, as participants had to decide whether the color or object of the spoken stimulus matched the picture that followed. As expected, the activation patterns of neurons (神经细胞) in the brain were different for phrases and sentences, in terms of both timing and strength of neural connections. “Our findings show how the brain separates speech into linguistic structure by using the timing and connectivity of neural firing patterns. These signals from the brain provide a fresh basis for future research on how our brains create language”, says Martin. “In principle, the time-based method could be used for machine learning systems that interface with spoken language comprehension in order to represent abstract structure, something machine systems currently struggle with.” 8. Why is a question raised in Paragraph 1? A. To highlight the complexity of human brain. B. To predict the evolution trend of brain science. C. To explain the structural knowledge in sentences. D. To introduce the research conducted by Andrea Martin. 9. What does the underlined word “simulation” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Input. B. Investigation. C. Modelling. D. Testing. 10. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The setting of the research. B. The process of the research. C. The innovative aspects of the research. D. The scientific basis of the research. 11. What can be learned from Martin’s comments? A. The research approach can be further applied to AI. B. The findings of the research need to be further identified. C. Human brain performs much better than what computer struggles with. D. The brain’s capacity for interpreting sentences can be transferred to computer. D In 1990, Gibson and Bruce Sterling’s The Difference Engine imagined an alternative history where computers were built a century earlier with gears (齿轮), helping popularize steampunk, a style of blending old and new technologies. How breathtaking when technology could be constructed from the past’s parts! But what if the world truly worked this way? Is digital perfection too much trustworthy? It might be better to see it not as a glimpse into the future, but as a legacy from the past, with all the problems handed down. In January 2023, the grounding of U.S. planes caused delays and losses when the outdated NOTAM system from 1920 failed. In a steampunk-inspired Doctor Who episode, heroes discover the engine of a spaceship is futuristic by appearance but a tortured, whale-like creature, driven like a horse under the whip. Those who grow curious face social pressure, punishment, and distractions to be kept ignorant. Steampunk tales revisit Victorian power structures of the authorities, where bosses promise a bright future while hiding the suffering that fuels it. These elements provoke reflection on today’s world: Who truly labors behind the scenes? Are they living the bright future promised to others? Steampunk machines, both extraordinary and romantic, often stir up sadness as their parts wear out, demanding constant attention to function. In Pushing Ice, researchers land on an alien spaceship, only to be trapped as it accelerates into deep space. With no choice, they construct a chain of gears to control its energy, inspecting every gear daily; even a single malfunction could lead to death. Ultimately, it is humans—weak, imperfect, tending to aging machines—that sustain us. This steampunk-like view of technology, blending old and new, is particularly relevant today, when modern technologies often distract us from their inner workings. Just as we receive instant Amazon orders, we may soon depend on AI, focusing on results without questioning the process. The risks of this relationship to technology are self-evident. Yet it’s not so hard to adjust, imagining a forest of gears turning, wondering if they fit. It’s all less perfect than it seems. 12. What does the NOTAM system illustrate? A. A proof of trustworthy digital perfection. B. A perfect mix of old and new technologies. C A necessity of a breathtaking glimpse into future. D. A display of a future-like yet problematic heritage. 13. What is typical of steampunk stories? A. They draw on Victorian society. B. They are starred by the cruel bosses. C. They are fueled by a promising future. D. They think highly of behind-the-scene labors. 14 How is the passage mainly developed? A. By presenting facts. B. By analyzing reasons. C. By listing examples. D. By following time order. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Perfect Machine: A Victory Fantasy B. Imperfect Progress: A Steampunk Insight C. Unfailing or not? Machines of Tomorrow D. Perfect or not?

I jumped into the front seat, and Kyle dived into the back. “You made it! Good job!” Her voice not cheery, mom looked into the darkened sky. “Nikki, turn up the radio.” The announcer reported, “High wind warning for central and eastern Colorado. Gusts up to seventy-five miles per hour. Seek shelter inside.” I looked into the gloom but saw nothing dangerous. Then... Blam! Something slammed into the front window glass. Hard. Mom hit the brakes and the car came to a sudden stop. “Everyone OK?” We were both saying “yes,” but I gasped when I saw the little hawk (鹰) sprawled across the hood (引擎盖). Tears trickled down Mom’s cheeks. “I couldn’t stop in time. That hawk flew right into us.” She fumbled to release her seat belt and opened the door. A gust of wind whooshed in. “You two stay here,” she called over her shoulder, but I was already unlocking my seat belt and opening the door. And where I went, Kyle followed. A gust of wind blew the hawk across the hood. I reached out and caught it before it could fall to the ground. It was so soft, so warm. “Is it...? Is it... dead?” Kyle stammered. The hawk was not moving. “We’ve got to get out of this wind!” Mom shouted. “Load the hawk in the back.” She popped open the hatch. Kyle and I gently scooped up the hawk, our backs to the wind to protect it. The hawk’s feathers were shades of brown, with white wing tips. Maybe I saw it lift its head, just a little as we slid it into the car. Or was that just the wind? We finally pulled into the garage an hour later. Mom let out a big sigh. “Home safe!” Kyle and I jumped out of the car and peered at the hawk through the back window. “It’s alive! I saw the head move!” Kyle shouted, “Let’s name it Stormy.” We cupped the poor thing and cautiously carried it back home. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One day, the center called to invite us to release Stormy together. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力： 1―5 CBACB 6―10 BABCA 11―15 BCACA 16―20 CBABA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
