We’ve selected a few of the best places to visit in South Africa. Johannesburg Johannesburg was an old mining town. Spending some time here gives visitors valuable insight into the country’s complicated past and lively present. Start by visiting the Apartheid Museum, see the street art in Maboneng Precinct and take a historical tour of Soweto to get a feel for Johannesburg’s heritage. Namaqualand This semi-desert region is a wonder during the wildflower season. From late July to September, Namaqualand turns into a land of colors, as thousands of wildflowers carpet the region. Aside from the flowers, you can also see its local wildlife, including caracals and leopards. Drakensburg South Africa’s largest mountain range is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. In addition to its rough peaks, green valleys and dramatic cliffs, Drakensberg is also dotted with rock and cave art thousands of years ago. One of the most popular hikes is the Tugela Gorge Trail, which leads to Tugela Falls, perhaps the highest waterfall in the world. Hermanus While this scenic town is worth visiting for its beaches and stunning scenery, Hermanus is famous for one reason: whales. From June to November, the coastal town becomes a hub for visitors hoping to see majestic southern right whales. Spend the rest of your trip exploring the beaches and walking along the spectacular Cliff Path. 1. Which place is the most suitable one for a cultural tour? A. Johannesburg. B. Namaqualand. C. Drakensburg. D. Hermanus. 2. For a person who wants to appreciate wildflowers as well as whales, which month is the best? A. January. B. June. C. August. D. December. 3. What is the aim of this text?

We’ve selected a few of the best places to visit in South Africa.(任何到访南非的游客都会对该国的多样性感到惊叹。我们精选了南非几个最值得游览的地方)”可知，本文介绍了南非一些值得参观的地方，旨在为南非旅游提供一些建议。故选C。 B In the early 20th century, in a small town nestled along the edge of the Pacific Ocean, a young girl named Ursula grew up surrounded by the quiet company of books and the wild beauty of nature. Her father was an anthropologist (人类学家), a weaver of stories about ancient cultures, and her mother was a writer. In such a household, Ursula learned that words had the power to shape worlds and that imagination was boundless. As a child, she read plenty of myths, legends, and fairy tales. But unlike most, Ursula didn’t just read stories — she dreamed of creating her own. She would sit for hours, crafting worlds filled with strange creatures, powerful magic, and deep questions about life. Little did she know her imagination would one day reshape how the world thought about science fiction and fantasy. Years later Ursula published her first major novel, A Wizard of Earthsea. It wasn’t just a fantasy tale; it was a story about balance, identity, and the power of names. The hero, Ged, was not a typical knight or warrior but a flawed boy who had to face his own shadow. Her world of Earthsea was a group of islands filled with magic and wisdom. But Ursula wasn’t done yet. Her curiosity drove her to explore themes far beyond wizards and dragons. In The Left Hand of Darkness, she imagined a world without fixed (固定的) sexes, forcing readers to question their ideas about identity and society. In The Dispossessed, she tackled capitalism (资本主义) and anarchism (无政府主义) through the lens of two opposite planets. Her stories were as much about the human spirit as they were about alien worlds. Though she never sought fame, Ursula K. Le Guin became one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. She proved that science fiction and fantasy weren’t just escapism — they were tools to ask the biggest, most profound questions of humanity, and imagination was not just a refuge — it was a revolution. Even now, her books continue to inspire dreamers, thinkers, and storytellers to imagine worlds that challenge and change our own. 4. What does the underlined word “boundless” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Flexible. B. Measurable. C. Unaffected. D. Unlimited. 5. Which of the following statements is true concerning her works mentioned? A. Ged was a perfect knight in A Wizard of Earthsea. B. The Left Hand of Darkness challenged readers’ opinions of sexes. C. She created two similar planets in The Dispossessed. D. Her stories were more about the human spirit than about alien worlds. 6. What could imagination be considered as according to Ursula’s life and her works? A. A refuge. B. A revolution. C. A challenge. D. An inspiration. 7. Which word is NOT suitable to describe Ursula? A. Curious. B. Imaginative. C. Revolutionary. D. Practical. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Ursula K. Le Guin的成长背景、创作历程及其作品对科幻和奇幻文学的深远影响。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第一段中划线词所在句“Her father was an anthropologist (人类学家), a weaver of stories about ancient cultures, and her mother was a writer. In such a household, Ursula learned that words had the power to shape worlds and that imagination was boundless. (她的父亲是一位人类学家，是一位关于古代文化故事的编织者，她的母亲是一位作家。在这样一个家庭里，Ursula了解到语言有塑造世界的力量，想象力是boundless。)”可知，想象力是无限的。划线词boundless意思是“无限的”A. Flexible灵活；B. Measurable可衡量的；C. Unaffected不受影响的；D. Unlimited无限的。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“In The Left Hand of Darkness, she imagined a world without fixed (固定的) sexes, forcing readers to question their ideas about identity and society. (在《The Left Hand of Darkness》中，她想象了一个没有固定性别的世界，迫使读者质疑他们对身份和社会的看法。)”可知，The Left Hand of Darkness挑战了读者对性别的看法。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“She proved that science fiction and fantasy weren’t just escapism — they were tools to ask the biggest, most profound questions of humanity, and imagination was not just a refuge — it was a revolution. (她证明了科幻小说和幻想不仅仅是逃避现实——它们是提出人类最大、最深刻问题的工具，想象力不仅仅是一个避难所——它是一场革命。)”可知，想象力可以被视为一场革命。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Her father was an anthropologist (人类学家), a weaver of stories about ancient cultures, and her mother was a writer. In such a household, Ursula learned that words had the power to shape worlds and that imagination was boundless. (她的父亲是一位人类学家，是一位关于古代文化故事的编织者，她的母亲是一位作家。在这样一个家庭里，Ursula了解到语言有塑造世界的力量，想象力是无限的。)”可知，Ursula的父亲是人类学家，编织关于古代文化的故事，母亲是作家，在这样的家庭中，厄休拉了解到文字有塑造世界的力量，而且想象力是无限的，这说明她是富有想象力的。由文章第四段中“But Ursula wasn’t done yet. Her curiosity drove her to explore themes far beyond wizards and dragons. (但Ursula的创作并未止步。她的好奇心驱使她探索远超巫师与龙的主题。)”可知，她是好奇的。由文章最后一段中“She proved that science fiction and fantasy weren’t just escapism — they were tools to ask the biggest, most profound questions of humanity, and imagination was not just a refuge — it was a revolution. (她证明了科幻小说和幻想不仅仅是逃避现实——它们是提出人类最大、最深刻问题的工具，想象力不仅仅是一个避难所——它是一场革命。)”可知，她是具有革命性的。而D项“Practical(实际的)”在文中并未提及。故选D。 C People with voice disorders can often find it difficult or impossible to speak. That may soon change. A team of engineers has invented a soft, thin, flexible device that can be attached to the skin outside the throat to help people with voice disorders regain their voice function. The new device can translate muscular movements into speech, enabling people to talk without using their vocal cords (声带). It not only detects the movements of the throat associated with speech, but also uses that movement to generate electricity, meaning the device can be operated without a battery (电池) or being plugged in. Lead study author Jun Chen, an assistant professor of bioengineering, said the idea for the device arose after he’d spent several hours lecturing and felt his voice becoming tired. He began to imagine a way to solve this problem, making it possible for a person to speak without using their vocal cords. That thought led Chen and his team to design a soft patch (贴片) that responds to the slight stress placed on it by the movement of throat muscles. The patch responds by producing electrical signals when a person makes the movements needed to talk. They then get fed to a machine-learning algorithm (算法) that translates the pulses into speech. To train the algorithm, each participant in the study repeated five short phrases 100 times each while the program tracked their throat movements. This taught the system to associate specific movements with a given phrase. In a demonstration of the tech involving eight people without speech problems, the algorithm was about 95% accurate at translating the patch’s electrical pulses into speech. Although these results are promising, the patch is still in the early stages of development. Its testing was limited to just eight people saying a few phrases, and it has yet to be tested in people with speech disorders. Another problem is that the current manufacturing process for the patch would need to be scaled up and made more efficient for a large number of patches to be produced. 8. What can be learned about the new device from the first two paragraphs? A. It is self-powered. B. It can cure voice disorders. C. It relies heavily on the vocal cords. D. It can increase the sound of the voice. 9. What inspired Jun Chen to develop this device? A. His damaged vocal cords. B. His tiring lecturing experience. C. His meeting with a bioengineering professor. D. His desire to help people with voice disorders. 10. What does the underlined word “They” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Throat movements. B. Short phrases. C. Electrical signals. D. Soft patches. 11. Which aspect of the device is stressed in the last paragraph? A. Its weaknesses. B. Its functions. C. Its development. D. Its popularity. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的科技发明——一种可以帮助语音障碍者恢复语音功能的柔软、轻薄、灵活的设备，并说明了其工作原理、研发背景、测试情况以及存在的问题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It not only detects the movements of the throat associated with speech, but also uses that movement to generate electricity, meaning the device can be operated without a battery or being plugged in.(它不仅能检测到与语音相关的喉咙运动，还能利用这种运动发电，这意味着该设备可以在没有电池或插电的情况下运行)”可知，这个新设备是自动供电的。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Lead study author Jun Chen, an assistant professor of bioengineering, said the idea for the device arose after he’d spent several hours lecturing and felt his voice becoming tired. He began to imagine a way to solve this problem, making it possible for a person to speak without using their vocal cords.(该研究的主要作者、生物工程助理教授Jun Chen说，他在讲了几个小时的课后，感觉自己的嗓子累了，于是产生了这个设备的想法。他开始想象一种解决这个问题的方法，让一个人不用声带就能说话)”可知是Jun Chen令人疲惫的讲课经历激发了他开发这个设备。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“The patch responds by producing electrical signals when a person makes the movements needed to talk. They then get fed to a machine-learning algorithm that translates the pulses into speech.(当一个人做出说话所需的动作时，贴片会产生电信号进行响应。它们然后被输入到一个机器学习算法中，该算法将脉冲转化为语音)”可知，前一句提到贴片会产生电信号，后一句的They指的就是这些电信号，由此可知，they指代“Electrical signals”。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Although these results are promising, the patch is still in the early stages of development. Its testing was limited to just eight people saying a few phrases, and it has yet to be tested in people with speech disorders. Another problem is that the current manufacturing process for the patch would need to be scaled up and made more efficient for a large number of patches to be produced.(尽管这些结果很有前景，但贴片仍处于开发的早期阶段。它的测试仅限于八个人说出一些短语，并且尚未在语音障碍者身上进行测试。另一个问题是，当前的贴片生产工艺需要扩大规模并提高效率，以便大量生产)”可知，最后一段主要强调了该设备目前存在的问题和局限性。故选A。 D The past 50 years have not been good for honeybees. Their numbers have greatly reduced throughout the world, and now a research project by the American University of Maryland is showing that bee lifespans (寿命) have fallen by as much as 50% since the 1970s. Most previous bee studies have focused on environmental factors. The Maryland scientists, on the other hand, wanted to find out how long bees can survive in a controlled lab environment. They collected bee pupae (蛹) of workers that were less than 24 hours old to study how long they could survive without influence from the outside world. The scientists placed the bees in customized containers, feeding them different types of water such as tap water, demineralized water, and sugar water. They found that the water type had no effect on lifespans, which were an average of 17.7 days. Comparing their results with studies from the 2000s, scientists found bees had survived longer back then. Further comparing data from similar studies beginning in 1969, they realized that a honeybee’s average lifespan has been halved. Studies from the 1970s had an average bee lifespan of 34.4 days. The differences seemed related neither to food nor to conditions and surroundings. And because the scientists collected the bees before they became adults, they could rule out external factors such as chemical use or lack of food. The scientists believe that the cause is in bee genetics (遗传学), and may be related to modern beekeeping practices, especially the speed at which beekeepers replace their bees with new ones. Normally, beekeepers will replace bees when they age naturally and die. But over the past 14 years, reports from American beekeepers have recorded annual losses of bee colonies (群) of 30% - 40%. This might be because beekeepers are replacing their bees more frequently, as the bees die earlier. Further studies are planned to find out whether this is a global trend, if it can be proved that this is to do with bee genetics, and to find strategies that might slow the losses of bee colonies, and so restore the decreasing lifespans of honeybees. 12. Why did the researchers collect bee pupae rather than adult bees? A. They were easier to control in the lab. B. They had the same remaining lifespans. C. They could be fed with three types of water. D. They had limited contact with the outside world. 13. What can be concluded from the comparison of the studies over the years? A. Food for bees was not enough in the 1970s. B. Surroundings have affected bee lifespans. C. Earlier bees survived longer. D. High bee losses have led to fewer beekeepers. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A Effective modern beekeeping practices. B. Higher replacement rates of aging bees. C. Challenges American beekeepers are facing. D. Possible causes of honeybee lifespan fall. 15. What will most probably be done next? A. Finding other ways to raise bees. B. Conducting a worldwide survey. C. Studying more similar studies from the past. D. Explain the influence of losses of bee colonies. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲述了关于蜜蜂寿命缩短的研究。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They collected bee pupae (蛹) of workers that were less than 24 hours old to study how long they could survive without influence from the outside world.(他们收集了工蜂24小时以内的蛹，以研究它们在没有外界影响的情况下能存活多久)”可知，研究者收集的是蜜蜂的蛹而不是成虫，是因为蛹与外界的接触有限，这样可以排除外部因素对研究结果的影响。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Comparing their results with studies from the 2000s, scientists found bees had survived longer back then. Further comparing data from similar studies beginning in 1969, they realized that a honeybee’s average lifespan has been halved.(科学家将他们的研究结果与2000年的研究进行比较，发现那时的蜜蜂存活时间更长。进一步与1969年开始的类似研究数据进行比较，他们意识到蜜蜂的平均寿命已经减半)”可知，通过对比不同年代的研究数据，科学家发现早期的蜜蜂存活时间更长。故选C。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“The scientists believe that the cause is in bee genetics (遗传学), and may be related to modern beekeeping practices, especially the speed at which beekeepers replace their bees with new ones.(科学家认为原因是蜜蜂的遗传学，可能与现代养蜂实践有关，特别是养蜂人更换新蜂的速度)”可知，该段主要讨论了蜜蜂寿命缩短的可能原因，即与蜜蜂的遗传学和现代养蜂实践（特别是更换新蜂的速度）有关。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Further studies are planned to find out whether this is a global trend, if it can be proved that this is to do with bee genetics, and to find strategies that might slow the losses of bee colonies, and so restore the decreasing lifespans of honeybees.(计划进行进一步的研究，以查明这是否是一个全球趋势，如果这能证明与蜜蜂遗传学有关，并找到可能减缓蜂群损失的策略，从而恢复蜜蜂不断下降的寿命)”可知，下一步计划进行的研究包括查明蜜蜂寿命缩短是否是全球趋势，并寻找可能减缓蜂群损失的策略。这暗示了接下来可能会进行一项全球性的调查或研究。故选B。 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，有两项为多余选项。 Are you having a hard time sticking to your daily schedule?

His mother had just sent him there and told him to reflect on his recent behaviour. What exactly did he do wrong? As he was still thinking, he heard a knock and then the door was opened. His mother came in and sat down next to him. “Alright Mike, tell me, do you know what you did wrong?” Mike became more puzzled as he said, “That’s exactly what I have been trying to do. But no matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to think of anything that I may have done wrong.” His mother sighed (叹息).” “Now, now, Mike. Don’t you remember how you shouted at your best friend, and even your head teacher?” “No, that’s not what happened. You must have seen it wrong...” Mike answered quietly, trying to defend himself. “Oh, really? Because it looked like you were angry at something and were taking it out on someone else.” Mike looked awkward at what his mother told him. Truth be told, when the school announced that there would be a school trip to the zoo on Friday, Mike could hardly sit still all week. He had never been to the zoo before, and the thought of seeing lions, giraffes, and elephants up close made him excited. He even packed his backpack a day earlier, stuffing it with snacks and a notebook to sketch animals. But on Friday morning, it was raining heavily. “It’ll clear up,” he murmured. When Mike arrived at school, he heard that the trip to the zoo had been cancelled. Mike froze in disbelief. In class, Mrs. Green, the headteacher, tried to cheer everyone up with a group activity, but Mike couldn’t focus. When she asked him to join, he yelled, “What’s the point? This day’s already ruined!” His best friend, Tom, whispered, “It’s not her fault,” but Mike glared at him. “You think this is fine? I bet you don’t even care about the zoo!” he said sharply. 注意： 1. 续写词数为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 He told everything to his mother. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Mike hurried to school, anxious but determined. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version He told everything to his mother. His mother, listening patiently with a smile, offered wisdom. She explained that it was natural for humans to get angry sometimes, but taking it out on others was really harmful to our personal relationships. Mike felt regretful and guilty, realizing that his behaviour had hurt the people he cared about. But he was at a loss what to do. “Apology is the first step. They care for you and they will forgive you,” His mother suggested. Nodding his head, Mike made up his mind to make things right. The next morning, Mike hurried to school, anxious but determined. He began by going over to Tom. “I’ m terribly sorry for the way I behaved that day,” he said quietly but sincerely, looking his best friend in the eye. Tom was deeply touched by his frankness and honesty, so he forgave Mike without hesitation. The relaxation the first apology gave Mike filled him with confidence to find Mrs Green, who didn’t say much but smiled with relief and patted Mike on the shoulder. Mike felt he did the right thing, and for the first time in days, he felt a sense of peace. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了主人公Mike因学校动物园旅行取消而情绪失控，对好友和班主任发脾气，后在母亲的引导下认识到错误并主动道歉的故事。文章通过Mike的经历，强调了情绪管理的重要性，以及面对挫折和失望时应如何正确调整心态，理解他人，并通过道歉来修复受损的人际关系。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“他把一切都告诉了母亲。”可知，第一段可描写母亲建议Mike道歉的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，Mike匆忙赶往学校，既焦虑又坚定。”可知，第二段可描写Mike道歉并获得原谅以及Mike的感悟。 2.续写线索：建议道歉——决定道歉——道歉并获得原谅——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 解释：explain/account for 意识到：realize/be aware of 关心：care for/be concerned about 情绪类 后悔的：regretful/penitent 感动的：touched/moved 【点睛】[高分句型1]She explained that it was natural for humans to get angry sometimes, but taking it out on others was really harmful to our personal relationships.

We’ve selected a few of the best places to visit in South Africa. Johannesburg Johannesburg was an old mining town. Spending some time here gives visitors valuable insight into the country’s complicated past and lively present. Start by visiting the Apartheid Museum, see the street art in Maboneng Precinct and take a historical tour of Soweto to get a feel for Johannesburg’s heritage. Namaqualand This semi-desert region is a wonder during the wildflower season. From late July to September, Namaqualand turns into a land of colors, as thousands of wildflowers carpet the region. Aside from the flowers, you can also see its local wildlife, including caracals and leopards. Drakensburg South Africa’s largest mountain range is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. In addition to its rough peaks, green valleys and dramatic cliffs, Drakensberg is also dotted with rock and cave art thousands of years ago. One of the most popular hikes is the Tugela Gorge Trail, which leads to Tugela Falls, perhaps the highest waterfall in the world. Hermanus While this scenic town is worth visiting for its beaches and stunning scenery, Hermanus is famous for one reason: whales. From June to November, the coastal town becomes a hub for visitors hoping to see majestic southern right whales. Spend the rest of your trip exploring the beaches and walking along the spectacular Cliff Path. 1. Which place is the most suitable one for a cultural tour? A. Johannesburg. B. Namaqualand. C. Drakensburg. D. Hermanus. 2. For a person who wants to appreciate wildflowers as well as whales, which month is the best? A. January. B. June. C. August. D. December. 3. What is the aim of this text? A. To widen readers’ views. B. To make a comparison between four places. C. To provide some suggestions on South Africa tours. D. To describe the scenery of some places in South Africa. B In the early 20th century, in a small town nestled along the edge of the Pacific Ocean, a young girl named Ursula grew up surrounded by the quiet company of books and the wild beauty of nature. Her father was an anthropologist (人类学家), a weaver of stories about ancient cultures, and her mother was a writer. In such a household, Ursula learned that words had the power to shape worlds and that imagination was boundless. As a child, she read plenty of myths, legends, and fairy tales. But unlike most, Ursula didn’t just read stories — she dreamed of creating her own. She would sit for hours, crafting worlds filled with strange creatures, powerful magic, and deep questions about life. Little did she know her imagination would one day reshape how the world thought about science fiction and fantasy. Years later, Ursula published her first major novel, A Wizard of Earthsea. It wasn’t just a fantasy tale; it was a story about balance, identity, and the power of names. The hero, Ged, was not a typical knight or warrior but a flawed boy who had to face his own shadow. Her world of Earthsea was a group of islands filled with magic and wisdom. But Ursula wasn’t done yet. Her curiosity drove her to explore themes far beyond wizards and dragons. In The Left Hand of Darkness, she imagined a world without fixed (固定的) sexes, forcing readers to question their ideas about identity and society. In The Dispossessed, she tackled capitalism (资本主义) and anarchism (无政府主义) through the lens of two opposite planets. Her stories were as much about the human spirit as they were about alien worlds. Though she never sought fame, Ursula K. Le Guin became one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. She proved that science fiction and fantasy weren’t just escapism — they were tools to ask the biggest, most profound questions of humanity, and imagination was not just a refuge — it was a revolution. Even now, her books continue to inspire dreamers, thinkers, and storytellers to imagine worlds that challenge and change our own. 4 What does the underlined word “boundless” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Flexible. B. Measurable. C. Unaffected. D. Unlimited. 5. Which of the following statements is true concerning her works mentioned? A. Ged was a perfect knight in A Wizard of Earthsea. B. The Left Hand of Darkness challenged readers’ opinions of sexes. C. She created two similar planets in The Dispossessed. D. Her stories were more about the human spirit than about alien worlds. 6. What could imagination be considered as according to Ursula’s life and her works? A. A refuge. B. A revolution. C. A challenge. D. An inspiration. 7. Which word is NOT suitable to describe Ursula? A. Curious. B. Imaginative. C. Revolutionary. D. Practical. C People with voice disorders can often find it difficult or impossible to speak. That may soon change. A team of engineers has invented a soft, thin, flexible device that can be attached to the skin outside the throat to help people with voice disorders regain their voice function. The new device can translate muscular movements into speech, enabling people to talk without using their vocal cords (声带). It not only detects the movements of the throat associated with speech, but also uses that movement to generate electricity, meaning the device can be operated without a battery (电池) or being plugged in. Lead study author Jun Chen, an assistant professor of bioengineering, said the idea for the device arose after he’d spent several hours lecturing and felt his voice becoming tired. He began to imagine a way to solve this problem, making it possible for a person to speak without using their vocal cords. That thought led Chen and his team to design a soft patch (贴片) that responds to the slight stress placed on it by the movement of throat muscles. The patch responds by producing electrical signals when a person makes the movements needed to talk. They then get fed to a machine-learning algorithm (算法) that translates the pulses into speech. To train the algorithm, each participant in the study repeated five short phrases 100 times each while the program tracked their throat movements. This taught the system to associate specific movements with a given phrase. In a demonstration of the tech involving eight people without speech problems, the algorithm was about 95% accurate at translating the patch’s electrical pulses into speech. Although these results are promising, the patch is still in the early stages of development. Its testing was limited to just eight people saying a few phrases, and it has yet to be tested in people with speech disorders. Another problem is that the current manufacturing process for the patch would need to be scaled up and made more efficient for a large number of patches to be produced. 8. What can be learned about the new device from the first two paragraphs? A. It is self-powered. B. It can cure voice disorders. C. It relies heavily on the vocal cords. D. It can increase the sound of the voice. 9. What inspired Jun Chen to develop this device? A. His damaged vocal cords. B. His tiring lecturing experience. C. His meeting with a bioengineering professor. D. His desire to help people with voice disorders. 10. What does the underlined word “They” in paragraph 4 refer to? A Throat movements. B. Short phrases. C. Electrical signals. D. Soft patches. 11. Which aspect of the device is stressed in the last paragraph? A. Its weaknesses. B. Its functions. C. Its development. D. Its popularity. D The past 50 years have not been good for honeybees. Their numbers have greatly reduced throughout the world, and now a research project by the American University of Maryland is showing that bee lifespans (寿命) have fallen by as much as 50% since the 1970s. Most previous bee studies have focused on environmental factors. The Maryland scientists, on the other hand, wanted to find out how long bees can survive in a controlled lab environment. They collected bee pupae (蛹) of workers that were less than 24 hours old to study how long they could survive without influence from the outside world. The scientists placed the bees in customized containers, feeding them different types of water such as tap water, demineralized water, and sugar water. They found that the water type had no effect on lifespans, which were an average of 17.7 days. Comparing their results with studies from the 2000s, scientists found bees had survived longer back then. Further comparing data from similar studies beginning in 1969, they realized that a honeybee’s average lifespan has been halved. Studies from the 1970s had an average bee lifespan of 34.4 days. The differences seemed related neither to food nor to conditions and surroundings. And because the scientists collected the bees before they became adults, they could rule out external factors such as chemical use or lack of food. The scientists believe that the cause is in bee genetics (遗传学) and may be related to modern beekeeping practices, especially the speed at which beekeepers replace their bees with new ones. Normally, beekeepers will replace bees when they age naturally and die. But over the past 14 years, reports from American beekeepers have recorded annual losses of bee colonies (群) of 30% - 40%. This might be because beekeepers are replacing their bees more frequently, as the bees die earlier.

His mother had just sent him there and told him to reflect on his recent behaviour. What exactly did he do wrong? As he was still thinking, he heard a knock and then the door was opened. His mother came in and sat down next to him. “Alright Mike, tell me, do you know what you did wrong?” Mike became more puzzled as he said, “That’s exactly what I have been trying to do. But no matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to think of anything that I may have done wrong.” His mother sighed (叹息).” “Now, now, Mike. Don’t you remember how you shouted at your best friend, and even your head teacher?” “No, that’s not what happened. You must have seen it wrong...” Mike answered quietly, trying to defend himself. “Oh, really? Because it looked like you were angry at something and were taking it out on someone else.” Mike looked awkward at what his mother told him. Truth be told, when the school announced that there would be a school trip to the zoo on Friday, Mike could hardly sit still all week. He had never been to the zoo before, and the thought of seeing lions, giraffes, and elephants up close made him excited. He even packed his backpack a day earlier, stuffing it with snacks and a notebook to sketch animals. But on Friday morning, it was raining heavily. “It’ll clear up,” he murmured. When Mike arrived at school, he heard that the trip to the zoo had been cancelled. Mike froze in disbelief. In class, Mrs. Green, the headteacher, tried to cheer everyone up with a group activity, but Mike couldn’t focus. When she asked him to join, he yelled, “What’s the point? This day’s already ruined!” His best friend, Tom, whispered, “It’s not her fault,” but Mike glared at him. “You think this is fine? I bet you don’t even care about the zoo!” he said sharply. 注意： 1. 续写词数为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 He told everything to his mother. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Mike hurried to school, anxious but determined. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1—5 BACAB 6—10 CCACB 11—15 AACBC 16—20 ABBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
