Rathee discovered YouTube in 2014, a time when cheap smartphones and cellular (蜂窝) data led to a boom in internet access in India. Inspired by videos he watched online, Rathee, now 28, started a travel vlog. But he soon noticed a problem. “People in India weren’t trained on how to use the internet and blindly trusted whatever they saw on YouTube or WhatsApp,” he says. So Rathee, who grew up in a small northern Indian town in the state of Haryana and later studied mechanical engineering in Germany, became what he calls a “YouTube educator”, making videos in Hindi that fact-check topics that are trending on Indian social media. “My aim is to present things as simply as possible and break down complex issues in simple words,” he says.
Rathee’s work is incredibly popular — he’s accumulated nearly 13 million subscribers, making his YouTube channel one of the most-viewed in the country. It has also led to conflicts. When a film called The Kerala Story began making waves in May, Rathee made a 23-minute video in which he argued that the film promoted a false theory. Though Rathee used the government’s data and international sources to make his counterclaim, his fact-checking led to consequences, including threats sent to his family.
Despite the risks, Rathee remains calm. He makes videos for one reason. “I hope they teach people tolerance, coexistence, and accepting each other’s opinions, values that I myself really value,” he says. “I’m surprised doing such a simple thing can bring so much attention,” he adds, “maybe because no one tries to dare to do that.”
24. What problem did Rathee notice with Indians?
A. They blindly subscribed to vlogs. B. They were addicted to online videos.
C. They had limited access to the Internet. D. They were easily misled by online information.
25. Why did Rathee make his video about the film?
A. To attract views and attention. B. To correct government data.
C. To stop the spread of a false theory. D. To support his previous argument.
26. Which word could best describe Rathee’s work?
A. Confusing. B. Enlightening. C. Disappointing. D. Entertaining.
27. What does the underlined word“that” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Raising various opinions. B. Challenging the authority.
C. Making fact-checking videos. D. Critisizing traditional values.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Rathee通过制作视频来教育印度人如何正确使用互联网。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But he soon noticed a problem. “People in India weren’t trained on how to use the internet and blindly trusted whatever they saw on YouTube or WhatsApp,” he says.(但他很快发现了一个问题。他说:“印度人没有接受过如何使用互联网的培训,他们盲目地相信他们在YouTube或WhatsApp上看到的任何东西。”)”可知,Rathee注意到印度人容易被网络信息误导。故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“When a film called The Kerala Story began making waves in May, Rathee made a 23-minute video in which he argued that the film promoted a false theory. (今年5月,当一部名为《喀拉拉邦的故事》的电影开始引起轰动时,Rathee制作了一段23分钟的视频,他在视频中辩称,这部电影宣扬了一个错误的理论)”可知,Rathee制作视频是为了阻止错误理论的传播。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“So Rathee, who grew up in a small northern Indian town in the state of Haryana and later studied mechanical engineering in Germany, became what he calls a “YouTube educator”, making videos in Hindi that fact-check topics that are trending on Indian social media. “My aim is to present things as simply as possible and break down complex issues in simple words,” he says.(因此,在印度北部哈里亚纳邦的一个小镇长大、后来在德国学习机械工程的拉西成为了他所谓的“YouTube教育家”,用印地语制作视频,对印度社交媒体上的热门话题进行事实核查。他说:“我的目标是尽可能简单地呈现事物,用简单的语言分解复杂的问题。”)”可知,Rathee通过制作视频教育人们,他的工作是启发性的。故选B。
【27题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Despite the risks, Rathee remains calm. He makes videos for one reason. “I hope they teach people tolerance, coexistence, and accepting each other’s opinions, values that I myself really value,” he says. “I’m surprised doing such a simple thing can bring so much attention,” he adds, “maybe because no one tries to dare to do that .”(尽管有风险,拉西仍然保持冷静。他制作视频只有一个原因。他说:“我希望他们教会人们宽容、共存、接受彼此的意见,这些是我自己真正看重的价值观。”他补充道:“我很惊讶这么简单的事情却能引起这么多的关注,也许是因为没有人敢这么做。”)”可知,that指代的是前文所说的制作事实核查视频。故选C。
C
For many, travel isn’t just about the destination — it’s about making the most of the journey. However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting (呕吐), known as motion sickness. If you’ve ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you’re not alone. Recognizing this common issue, Apple has stepped up to offer a solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature (功能) for iPhones and iPads.
Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory (感官的) conflict can lead to dizziness (头晕), nausea, and overall discomfort — symptoms (症状) all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.
Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness. This feature works by showing animated (动画的) dots around your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in agreement with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness. By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness.
Early reports and user feedback (反馈) indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness. So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that Apple’s got your back — or rather, your brain - helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort.
28. Which type of people can be interested in Vehicle Motion Cues?
A. Frequent travelers. B. Book lovers.
C. Vehicle operators. D. Sport scientists.
29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The principle of Apple’s new design.
B. The cause of motion sickness.
C. The functions of Apples new design.
D. The symptoms of motion sickness.
30. By displaying animated dots around the screen, Apple's Vehicle Motion Cues is able to _____.
A. ease sensory conflicts in the brain
B. tell the mismatched physical sensations
C. balance the movement of our eyes and body
D. increase the effectiveness of vehicle motion
31. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Make the Most of Your Journey: Apple Bridges the. Gap
B. Find the Magic of a Moving Vehicle: Apple’s Got! Your Back
C. Enjoy Your Reading: Apple Offers a Revolutionary Solution
D. Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: Apple Introduces Its New Design
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了晕车的现象、原因以及苹果公司针对这一问题在iPhone和iPad上推出的“车辆运动提示”功能,旨在解释这一新功能的工作原理及其对用户的益处。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness.(苹果公司新推出的车辆运动提示功能旨在弥合这一差距,为那些容易晕车的人带来缓解。)”可知,苹果公司为解决晕车问题推出的车辆运动提示功能。对于经常旅行的人来说,他们在旅途中更容易受到晕车的困扰,而这个功能可以帮助他们缓解晕车症状,让旅途更加舒适,所以频繁旅行者会对该功能感兴趣。故选A。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory (感官的) conflict can lead to dizziness (头晕), nausea, and overall discomfort — symptoms (症状) all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.(当你的眼睛所看到的与身体所感觉到的不一致时,就会产生晕车现象。当你身处移动的交通工具中时,你的身体会通过前庭系统感知运动,但如果你的眼睛聚焦在一个静止的屏幕上,而这个屏幕并未反映出这种运动,大脑就会接收到混杂的信号。这种感官上的冲突会导致头晕、恶心以及全身不适——这些都是晕车患者再熟悉不过的症状了。)”可知,第二段开头提到什么情况下会产生晕车现象。随后详细解释了在移动的交通工具中,身体通过前庭系统感知运动,而眼睛聚焦静止屏幕会使大脑接收混杂信号,从而引发晕车的过程。所以这一段主要是在讲述晕车的原因。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“This feature works by showing animated(动画的) dots around your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in agreement with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness.(该功能的工作原理是在屏幕周围显示一些动画小圆点,这些小圆点会与你所在交通工具的运动同时且同速移动。这些移动的提示有助于让身体感觉到的运动与眼睛看到的保持一致,从而有效减少导致晕车的感官上的不一致情况。)”可知,通过在屏幕周围显示动画小圆点,能够减少大脑中导致晕车的感官冲突。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,文章开篇指出晕车问题会破坏旅途体验这一常见现象,接着介绍了晕车产生的原因,随后重点阐述了苹果公司针对晕车问题推出的车辆运动提示功能,包括其工作原理以及早期反馈显示的有效性等内容,整体都是围绕苹果公司推出的新设计来帮助人们告别晕车展开的。选项D“Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: Apple Introduces Its New Design(告别晕车:苹果推出其新设计)”与此相符。故选D。
D
A man in a lab coat bends under a dim light with tight eyes looking at a microscope. Time is short, the pays-off are high, and only this scientist can save everyone. That kind of romanticized picture of science was standard for a long time. But it’s far from the truth.
Some scientists search for the causes of some observable effects, such as the link between destroyed forests and Earth’s temperature increase. Others may investigate the “what” rather than the “why” of things. For example, ecologists build models to estimate gray wolf abundance in Montana, US. It’s impractical to spot them all and count them. Abundance models are not 100 percent accurate, but they offer estimates that seem good enough to set harvesting quotas (限额) and maintain the ecosystem.
Beyond the “what” and the “why”, scientists may focus on the “how”. For instance, the lives of people living with illnesses can be improved by research on how to relieve symptoms, even if the true causes of their disorders are largely unknown to current medicine.
People often think “real science” should provide definite, complete and perfect answers to their questions. However, given various limitations and the world’s complexity, keeping multiple perspectives in play is often the best way for scientists to reach their goals and solve the problems at hand.
In the world of science, healthy disagreement is a feature, not a bug. Science is a social process in which the community’s scrutiny (监督) ensures we have the best available knowledge. “Best available” does not mean “definitive”, but the best we have until we find out how to improve it.
The long history of atomism (原子论) shows how science is a process rather than a fast delivery of results set in stone. As scientist Jean Baptiste Perrin conducted his 1908 experiments that seemingly settled all discussion regarding atoms, questions about the atom’s properties were about to spark decades of controversy with the birth of quantum (量子) physics. Similar discussions continue to the present day.
So, real science is a collective, imperfect and may-sided process in which scientists contribute multiple and often partial solutions to complex and diverse problems.
32. How does the author introduce the topic of the article?
A. By describing a scientific research process.
B. By telling a scientist’s personal experience.
C. By giving an example of scientific failure.
D. By presenting a common misconception.
33. What do paragraphs 2-3 mainly talk about?
A. The challenges faced by scientists.
B. The history of scientific research.
C. The methods scientists use to share results.
D. The various focuses of scientists in their research.
34. What is the author’s view on healthy disagreements in science?
A. They are essential for scientific progress.
B. They create confusion and delay conclusions.
C. They indicate problems in scientific methods.
D. They often lead to the rejection of old theories.
35. Why does the author mention Jean Baptiste Perrin’s experiments and the subsequent debate ?
A. To show science is a collection of facts.
B. To prove scientific knowledge is always absolute.
C. To illustrate science is a dynamic and evolving process.
D. To show scientific conclusion can be reached after discussion.
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了科学的真实面貌,驳斥了科学浪漫化的刻板印象,并强调科学是一个集体的、不完美的、多面的过程,其中科学家们针对复杂多样的问题提出多种且往往是部分的解决方案。健康的意见分歧是科学进步的重要组成部分,体现了科学的社会性和动态发展特性。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段“A man in a lab coat bends under a dim light with tight eyes looking at a microscope. Time is short, the pays-off are high, and only this scientist can save everyone. That kind of romanticized picture of science was standard for a long time. But it’s far from the truth. (一个穿着实验室大褂的男人在昏暗的灯光下弯着腰,紧盯着显微镜。时间很短,回报很高,只有这位科学家能拯救所有人。这种浪漫化的科学图景在很长一段时间内都是标准的。但事实远非如此。)”可知,作者通过呈现一个常见的误解引入这篇文章的主题。故选D。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第二段中“Some scientists search for the causes of some observable effects, such as the link between destroyed forests and Earth’s temperature increase. Others may investigate the “what” rather than the “why” of things. (一些科学家寻找一些可观察到的影响的原因,例如森林破坏和地球温度升高之间的联系。其他人可能会调查事情的“是什么”而不是“为什么”。)”、第三段中“Beyond the “what” and the “why”, scientists may focus on the “how”. (除了“是什么”和“为什么”之外,科学家可能会关注“如何”。)”可知,这两段主要讨论了科学家在研究中的不同关注点。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“In the world of science, healthy disagreement is a feature, not a bug. Science is a social process in which the community’s scrutiny (监督) ensures we have the best available knowledge. “Best available” does not mean “definitive”, but the best we have until we find out how to improve it. (在科学界,健康的分歧是一种特征,而不是缺陷。科学是一个社会过程,在这个过程中,社会的监督确保我们拥有最好的可用知识。“现有的最佳”并不意味着“确定的”,而是在我们找到改进方法之前我们所拥有的最佳。)”可以推断,作者认为健康的意见分歧对于科学进步是必不可少的。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The long history of atomism (原子论) shows how science is a process rather than a fast delivery of results set in stone. As scientist Jean Baptiste Perrin conducted his 1908 experiments that seemingly settled all discussion regarding atoms, questions about the atom’s properties were about to spark decades of controversy with the birth of quantum (量子) physics. Similar discussions continue to the present day. (原子论的悠久历史表明,科学是一个过程,而不是一成不变的快速交付结果。科学家Jean Baptiste Perrin在1908年进行的实验似乎解决了所有关于原子的讨论,但随着量子物理学的诞生,有关原子性质的问题即将引发数十年的争议。类似的讨论一直持续到今天。)”可以推断,作者提及Jean Baptiste Perrin的实验和随后的争论是为了说明科学是一个动态的、不断发展的过程。故选C。

Time and money are life’s most valuable resources. One of the great laws of economics is that time equals money. The phrase “time is money” is usually credited to Benjamin Franklin, who used it in an essay (Advice to a Young Tradesman.1748) ____36____ He encouraged people to treat time like money. However, most people think about time and money in vastly different ways.
Time is our most scarce (稀缺) resource. Poor or rich, we all have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. ____37____ In a world of scarcity, choosing one thing means not being able to do something else.
____38____ Time is relatively scarce for people with higher incomes, partly because their time is more valuable. So, to have lots of time, rich people hire other people to do their household chores. However, a non-working person may spend more time on household chores.
Time cannot be stored. One of the reasons we give little thought about how we use our limited resources is that we cannot save time. Time moves on whether we choose to spend it or not. ____39____ However, when people are made aware of their mortality (生命的有限), they wonder if they did make the most of their lives.
In sum, time is anything but free. As a non-renewable resource, time is quite expensive. ____40____ They do their best to think of their time as unlimited, and unlimited goods have little value. Knowing that time is limited encourages us to ask how we are using our time. Do we want to spend these precious moments on social media or spend that time learning something new? Skills and knowledge take time so the more time you spend on them, the more you improve.
A. It cannot be bought at any price.
B. It means time is a valuable resource.
C. The value of time varies from person to person.
D. Some people fail to realize that time is scarce
E. Thus, each of us faces the choice of how to spend our time.
F. You can’t bottle time and exchange it for an object or event.
G. Actually, time and money are greatly different from each other.
【答案】36. B 37. E 38. C 39. F 40. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。时间和金钱是生命中最宝贵的资源,文章引用本杰明·富兰克林的观点,详细阐述了时间是一种宝贵的资源。
【36题详解】
根据上文“One of the great laws of economics is that time equals money.(经济学的一条伟大定律是时间等于金钱)”及下文“He encouraged people to treat time like money.(他鼓励人们把时间当作金钱来对待)”可知,经济学认为时间就是金钱,设空处承上启下,B选项“It means time is a valuable resource.(这意味着时间是一种宝贵的资源)”符合题意。故选B项。
【37题详解】
根据前文“Time is our most scarce (稀缺) resource. Poor or rich, we all have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.(时间是我们最稀缺的资源。无论贫穷还是富有,我们都有一天24小时,一周7天)”以及后文“In a world of scarcity, choosing one thing means not being able to do something else.(在一个稀缺的世界里,选择一件事就意味着不能做其他的事)”可知,此处讲述时间稀缺,应该如何选择度过,所以E项“Thus, each of us faces the choice of how to spend our time.(因此,我们每个人都面临着如何度过时间的选择)”符合本段主题,和前文构成因果关系。故选E项。
【38题详解】
设空位于段首,为本段中心句,根据后文“Time is relatively scarce for people with higher incomes, partly because their time is more valuable. So, to have lots of time, rich people hire other people to do their household chores. However, a non-working person may spend more time on household chores.(对于收入高的人来说,时间相对来说是稀缺的,部分原因是他们的时间更有价值。所以,为了有更多的时间,富人会雇人帮他们做家务。然而,一个不工作的人可能会花更多的时间在家务上)”可知,本段主要讲述了每个人的时间价值不同,所以C项“The value of time varies from person to person.(时间的价值因人而异)”符合本段主题,为中心句。故选C项。
【39题详解】
根据前文“Time cannot be stored. One of the reasons we give little thought about how we use our limited resources is that we cannot save time. Time moves on whether we choose to spend it or not.(时间是无法储存的。我们很少考虑如何使用有限的资源的原因之一是我们无法储存时间。不管我们是否愿意花时间,时间都在流逝)”可知,此处讲述时间无法储存,所以F项“You can’t bottle time and exchange it for an object or event.(你不能把时间装在瓶子里,然后用它来交换一个对象或事件)”符合本段主题。故选F项。
【40题详解】
根据前文“In sum, time is anything but free. As a non-renewable resource, time is quite expensive.(总之,时间绝不是免费的。时间作为一种不可再生资源,是非常昂贵的)”以及后文“They do their best to think of their time as unlimited, and unlimited goods have little value.(他们竭力认为自己的时间是无限的,而无限的商品几乎没有价值)”可知,前文讲述时间的宝贵,后文讲述有人竭力认为自己的时间是无限的,所以空处应是一个转折句,D项“Some people fail to realize that time is scarce.(有些人没有意识到时间是宝贵的)”符合文意,承接上文,引出下文。故选D项。

First Aid Knowledge Hits the Campus
Aiming to raise students’ awareness of saving people with first aid and master the skills, our school launched an activity called First Aid Knowledge Hits the Campus.
The activity started with a presentation introducing different situations how to do first aid accordingly. Then came the hands-on practices where students were encouraged to perform first aids on fake people, supervised and guided by medicines. The highlight of the activity was a first aid knowledge competition where students strived to raise their hands and gave their answers.

72. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Be a true runner
For me, it was normal to feel lost at the inter-camp track. Four camps of kids were ready to lead their teams to a blue ribbon and win the day. Not me. I was too little to be the leader and too skinny to be an athlete. I knew this by the time I was twelve, because my camp counselors(辅导员)and the other kids reminded me of it every chance they got. So when our camp needed a fourth runner in the two-mile race around the lake, I knew I was no one’s first choice.
I hid in the shade of a maple tree as they called the names of the runners, my body tensed as I heard a counselor call, “Fred! Where is Fred! He is in this race!” It was Barry. He spotted me under the tree. “Fred! We need a 12-year-old who hasn’t been in other events to run the two-mile!”
He gave me a push towards the starting line. Having no confidence and trying to save myself from the shame of taking the last place as four camps watched, I pleaded with him.
“But I don’t know the way around the lake!”
“You’re in. Just follow Bill!” Barry smiled.
Bill was my friend and the fastest runner in our camp. And then Barry said, “When you make it to the last stretch(最后一程)on the field, just throw your head back and run.”
At the starting line, I stood next to Bill and trembled.
“On your mark… Get set...” The gun cracked and sixteen of us took off. I stayed close on Bill’s heels, a little too close for Bill, I guess. He shouted at me, “Back off!”
I did. Two guys passed me, but I kept my eyes on Bill.
It was tiring. The distance was widening between Bill and me. We made the turn from the dusty road onto the muddy, wooded trail that would go around the lake back to the field. Through the trees, I saw Bill trip over a tree root and fall. A runner from another camp passed him.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置。
In a moment, Bill was up again and running.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I didn’t know when I crossed the finish line.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
In a moment, Bill was up and running. I couldn’t think of anything but to follow him closely. I could even feel the air hitting my face and I was totally worn out. Naturally, my pace slowed down. Just at the moment, Barry’s words “Just follow Bill” called me back. Convinced that I was no longer a loser, I refreshed up again and accelerated and soon I was quite close to Bill again. Injected with confidence, I headed for the finishing line. The gun cracked again, announcing the last 200 meters. I closed my eyes, threw my head back and ran with my last ounce of strength, in the direction of the dream line.
I didn’t know when I crossed the line. I still kept running on when a thunderous applause burst, which signaled the birth of the champion. I stopped and opened my eyes and saw my camp of kids and the camp counsellor gathering around me. “We have won the race! We are the champion!” they shouted and cheered, throwing me in the air. Showered with hugs and applause and whistles, I felt a surge of gaiety sweeping over me. To me, the race meant more than a champion; it well proved that I was not a loser as an athlete and that I could further explore my potential. Just as Hemingway put it, “The true nobility is superior to your former self.”
【解析】

Rathee discovered YouTube in 2014, a time when cheap smartphones and cellular (蜂窝) data led to a boom in internet access in India. Inspired by videos he watched online, Rathee, now 28, started a travel vlog. But he soon noticed a problem. “People in India weren’t trained on how to use the internet and blindly trusted whatever they saw on YouTube or WhatsApp,” he says. So Rathee, who grew up in a small northern Indian town in the state of Haryana and later studied mechanical engineering in Germany, became what he calls a “YouTube educator”, making videos in Hindi that fact-check topics that are trending on Indian social media. “My aim is to present things as simply as possible and break down complex issues in simple words,” he says.
Rathee’s work is incredibly popular — he’s accumulated nearly 13 million subscribers, making his YouTube channel one of the most-viewed in the country. It has also led to conflicts. When a film called The Kerala Story began making waves in May, Rathee made a 23-minute video in which he argued that the film promoted a false theory. Though Rathee used the government’s data and international sources to make his counterclaim, his fact-checking led to consequences, including threats sent to his family.
Despite the risks, Rathee remains calm. He makes videos for one reason. “I hope they teach people tolerance, coexistence, and accepting each other’s opinions, values that I myself really value,” he says. “I’m surprised doing such a simple thing can bring so much attention,” he adds, “maybe because no one tries to dare to do that.”
24. What problem did Rathee notice with Indians?
A. They blindly subscribed to vlogs. B. They were addicted to online videos.
C. They had limited access to the Internet. D. They were easily misled by online information.
25. Why did Rathee make his video about the film?
A. To attract views and attention. B. To correct government data.
C. To stop the spread of a false theory. D. To support his previous argument.
26. Which word could best describe Rathee’s work?
A. Confusing. B. Enlightening. C. Disappointing. D. Entertaining.
27. What does the underlined word“that” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Raising various opinions. B. Challenging the authority.
C. Making fact-checking videos. D. Critisizing traditional values.
C
For many, travel isn’t just about the destination — it’s about making the most of the journey. However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting (呕吐), known as motion sickness. If you’ve ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you’re not alone. Recognizing this common issue, Apple has stepped up to offer a solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature (功能) for iPhones and iPads.
Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory (感官的) conflict can lead to dizziness (头晕), nausea, and overall discomfort — symptoms (症状) all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.
Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness. This feature works by showing animated (动画的) dots around your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in agreement with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness. By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness.
Early reports and user feedback (反馈) indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness. So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that Apple’s got your back — or rather, your brain - helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort.
28. Which type of people can be interested in Vehicle Motion Cues?
A. Frequent travelers. B. Book lovers.
C. Vehicle operators. D. Sport scientists.
29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The principle of Apple’s new design.
B. The cause of motion sickness.
C. The functions of Apples new design.
D. The symptoms of motion sickness.
30. By displaying animated dots around the screen, Apple's Vehicle Motion Cues is able to _____.
A. ease sensory conflicts in the brain
B. tell the mismatched physical sensations
C. balance the movement of our eyes and body
D. increase the effectiveness of vehicle motion
31. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Make the Most of Your Journey: Apple Bridges the. Gap
B. Find the Magic of a Moving Vehicle: Apple’s Got! Your Back
C. Enjoy Your Reading: Apple Offers a Revolutionary Solution
D. Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: Apple Introduces Its New Design
D
A man in a lab coat bends under a dim light with tight eyes looking at a microscope. Time is short, the pays-off are high, and only this scientist can save everyone. That kind of romanticized picture of science was standard for a long time. But it’s far from the truth.
Some scientists search for the causes of some observable effects, such as the link between destroyed forests and Earth’s temperature increase. Others may investigate the “what” rather than the “why” of things. For example, ecologists build models to estimate gray wolf abundance in Montana, US. It’s impractical to spot them all and count them. Abundance models are not 100 percent accurate, but they offer estimates that seem good enough to set harvesting quotas (限额) and maintain the ecosystem.
Beyond the “what” and the “why”, scientists may focus on the “how”. For instance, the lives of people living with illnesses can be improved by research on how to relieve symptoms, even if the true causes of their disorders are largely unknown to current medicine.
People often think “real science” should provide definite, complete and perfect answers to their questions. However, given various limitations and the world’s complexity, keeping multiple perspectives in play is often the best way for scientists to reach their goals and solve the problems at hand.
In the world of science, healthy disagreement is a feature, not a bug. Science is a social process in which the community’s scrutiny (监督) ensures we have the best available knowledge. “Best available” does not mean “definitive”, but the best we have until we find out how to improve it.
The long history of atomism (原子论) shows how science is a process rather than a fast delivery of results set in stone. As scientist Jean Baptiste Perrin conducted his 1908 experiments that seemingly settled all discussion regarding atoms, questions about the atom’s properties were about to spark decades of controversy with the birth of quantum (量子) physics. Similar discussions continue to the present day.
So, real science is a collective, imperfect and may-sided process in which scientists contribute multiple and often partial solutions to complex and diverse problems.
32. How does the author introduce the topic of the article?
A. By describing a scientific research process.
B. By telling a scientist’s personal experience.
C. By giving an example of scientific failure.
D. By presenting a common misconception.
33. What do paragraphs 2-3 mainly talk about?
A. The challenges faced by scientists.
B. The history of scientific research.
C. The methods scientists use to share results.
D. The various focuses of scientists in their research.
34. What is the author’s view on healthy disagreements in science?
A. They are essential for scientific progress.
B. They create confusion and delay conclusions.
C. They indicate problems in scientific methods.
D. They often lead to the rejection of old theories.
35. Why does the author mention Jean Baptiste Perrin’s experiments and the subsequent debate ?
A. To show science is a collection of facts.
B To prove scientific knowledge is always absolute.
C. To illustrate science is a dynamic and evolving process.
D. To show scientific conclusion can be reached after discussion.

Time and money are life’s most valuable resources. One of the great laws of economics is that time equals money. The phrase “time is money” is usually credited to Benjamin Franklin, who used it in an essay (Advice to a Young Tradesman.1748) ____36____ He encouraged people to treat time like money. However, most people think about time and money in vastly different ways.
Time is our most scarce (稀缺) resource. Poor or rich, we all have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. ____37____ In a world of scarcity, choosing one thing means not being able to do something else.
____38____ Time is relatively scarce for people with higher incomes, partly because their time is more valuable. So, to have lots of time, rich people hire other people to do their household chores. However, a non-working person may spend more time on household chores.
Time cannot be stored. One of the reasons we give little thought about how we use our limited resources is that we cannot save time. Time moves on whether we choose to spend it or not. ____39____ However, when people are made aware of their mortality (生命的有限), they wonder if they did make the most of their lives.
In sum, time is anything but free. As a non-renewable resource, time is quite expensive. ____40____ They do their best to think of their time as unlimited, and unlimited goods have little value. Knowing that time is limited encourages us to ask how we are using our time. Do we want to spend these precious moments on social media or spend that time learning something new? Skills and knowledge take time so the more time you spend on them, the more you improve.
A. It cannot be bought at any price.
B. It means time is a valuable resource.
C. The value of time varies from person to person.
D. Some people fail to realize that time is scarce
E. Thus, each of us faces the choice of how to spend our time.
F. You can’t bottle time and exchange it for an object or event.
G. Actually, time and money are greatly different from each other.

Be a true runner
For me, it was normal to feel lost at the inter-camp track. Four camps of kids were ready to lead their teams to a blue ribbon and win the day. Not me. I was too little to be the leader and too skinny to be an athlete. I knew this by the time I was twelve, because my camp counselors(辅导员)and the other kids reminded me of it every chance they got. So when our camp needed a fourth runner in the two-mile race around the lake, I knew I was no one’s first choice.
I hid in the shade of a maple tree as they called the names of the runners, my body tensed as I heard a counselor call, “Fred! Where is Fred! He is in this race!” It was Barry. He spotted me under the tree. “Fred! We need a 12-year-old who hasn’t been in other events to run the two-mile!”
He gave me a push towards the starting line. Having no confidence and trying to save myself from the shame of taking the last place as four camps watched, I pleaded with him.
“But I don’t know the way around the lake!”
“You’re in. Just follow Bill!” Barry smiled.
Bill was my friend and the fastest runner in our camp. And then Barry said, “When you make it to the last stretch(最后一程)on the field, just throw your head back and run.”
At the starting line, I stood next to Bill and trembled.
“On your mark… Get set...” The gun cracked and sixteen of us took off. I stayed close on Bill’s heels, a little too close for Bill, I guess. He shouted at me, “Back off!”
I did. Two guys passed me, but I kept my eyes on Bill.
It was tiring. The distance was widening between Bill and me. We made the turn from the dusty road onto the muddy, wooded trail that would go around the lake back to the field. Through the trees, I saw Bill trip over a tree root and fall. A runner from another camp passed him.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置。
In a moment, Bill was up again and running.
