【原文】Welcome to this annual innovation fair. I’m Camilla Doyle from the organizing committee and I’ll take you through a few highlights. Many industries are interested in Joe Higson’s work. There are many types of chemicals, whichever they are. If used in the workplace, it’s crucial to keep people safe. And Joe’s machine helps with this. It can detect poisonous substances in places they shouldn’t be. Some students have created a camera operated weather balloon and sent it over 30 kilometers into the earth’s atmosphere. The readings they’ve got so far are incredibly detailed and could be helpful for weather forecasting and many other uses. The photographs taken by the balloon’s camera are impressive, too. Something that’s attracted media attention is another type of underwater vehicle which can operate in the severest conditions. It can explore the ocean depths where there’s absolutely no light, and it’s being used to learn about the behavior of the most difficult to reach Marine life. There are hopes of taking it to the Polar regions, where scientists hope to find out more about what might be living there.
第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)
A
This is the season for spending, or so it seems, as we look ahead to the end-of-year holidays and start shelling out money left and right for decorations, presents, food, and on and on. To keep more of your money in your pocket, follow these dos and don’ts.
Do consider joining a membership program.
Programs from Amazon, Walmart and others can get you more than discounts and rewards. Membership also gets you fast, free deliveries on other qualifying orders with no minimums, plus other perks.
Do buy low.
Price trackers help you time your purchases so you can pounce (抓住机会) when prices hit rock bottom or close to it. At the very least, these tools can give you pricing information so you’ ll know a good deal when you see it.
Don’t fall for fake reviews.
Review fraud is rampant (猖獗), and it could get a lot harder to spot fake user reviews, thanks to the growing use of artificial intelligence. Two tools that can help you shop smarter with user reviews are Fakespot and ReviewMeta, which rate product ratings. Both sites also tease out trustworthy comments to help you find relevant and insightful product information.
Don’t put off those payments.
“Buy now, pay later” (BNPL) options are advocated by companies like Affirm and Afterpay. You can pay in installments (分期付款), and you don’t have to wait to get your goodies. But there is a big downside: If you’ re struggling with debt, BNPL payments can dig your hole deeper, ending up raising your interest rates on mortgage and car loans.
21. What additional benefits can membership programs offer?
A. Free fast deliveries with no minimums.
B. Exclusive early access to new products.
C. Personalized shopping recommendations.
D. Guaranteed rock bottom prices of all items.
22. How can consumers identify fake reviews more effectively?
A. Checking for purchase labels on reviews.
B. Using price trackers to analyze review trends.
C. Joining loyalty programs for authentic reviews
D. Applying tools like Fakespot and ReviewMeta.
23. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To promote membership programs
B. To warn consumers of unstable prices
C. To provide shopping tips on money saving.
D. To discourage customers from shopping online.
【答案】21. A 22. D 23. C

Cutting back on animal protein in our diets can save on resources and greenhouse gas emissions. But convincing meat-loving consumers to switch up their menu is a challenge. Looking at this problem from a mechanical engineering angle, Stanford engineers are pioneering a new approach to food texture (口感) testing that could make plant-based meats taste and feel like real meat.
Led by Ellen Kuhl, professor of mechanical engineering and senior author of the study, the Stanford team ran a three-dimensional food test. They tested eight types of food, such as hot dogs, turkey, sausages and so on, each including both animal-based and plant-based options. They mounted bits of meat into a machine that pulled, pushed, and cut on the samples. “These three loading modes represent what you do when you chew,” said Kuhl.
Then, they used machine learning to process the data from these tests: They designed a new type of neural network that takes the raw data from the tests and produces equations (方程) that explain the qualities of the meats. To see if these equations can explain the perception of texture, the team carried out a test survey. The testers — who first completed surveys on their openness to new foods and their attachment to meat — ate samples of the eight products and rated them for 12 categories, such as soft, hard, and meat-like.
In the mechanical testing, the plant-based hot dog and sausage behaved very similarly to their animal counterparts (对应物) in the tests, and showed similar hardness. Meanwhile, the plant-based turkey was twice as hard as animal turkey. Strikingly, the human testers also ranked the hardness of the hot dogs and sausages very similarly to the mechanical tests. “What’s really cool is that the ranking of the people was almost identical to the ranking of the machine,” said Kuhl.
The findings suggest that new, data-driven methods hold promise for speeding up the process of developing tasty plant-based products. “Hopefully, we could use generative artificial intelligence to scientifically generate recipes for plant-based meat products with precisely desired properties,” the authors wrote in the paper.
28. How was the Stanford team’s first food test carried out?
A. By analyzing human chewing behavior.
B. By copying the motions of human chewing.
C. By comparing the softness of various foods.
D. By processing data collected from human testers.
29. Why did the researchers use machine learning in their study?
A To identify food texture categories.
B. To design plant-based meat recipes.
C To generate equations for food properties.
D. To replace human evaluations with machines.
30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The outcome of the test. B. The final step of the test.
C. The evaluation of the test. D. The practical use of the test.
31. What is the paper authors’ attitude to the finding of the test?
A. Uncertain. B. Indifferent. C. Careful. D. Optimistic.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】

When I looked at the Pennington Day dog show’s Look-Alike Contest in suburban New Jersey in the mid-1990s, I had all the confidence of a young girl assured of victory. After all, her puppy had long, floppy ears that perfectly matched her wavy, blond bob.
Turns out, there is actual science to back up the stereotype (模式化观念) that dogs look like their owners. A recent review of 15 studies from around the globe suggests that not only people and their pets look and act similarly, but that the similarities between their personalities deepen over time.
In many of the studies, scientists asked study volunteers to match pictures of dogs and their owners, which they did better than they would just by chance. Another found that women often had hair of a similar length to the dogs’ ears. So what gives? Experts suspect people choose dogs that look like them or reflect them in some way.
The review also showed that dogs and owners have similar personality characteristics, especially extroversion and neuroticism, and that their temperaments (性情) appeared to grow more alike. The study offers different theories for why, including that owners may be drawn to dogs that are like them to begin with, and as they age together, the two species may regulate each other’s emotions, reinforce each other’s behavior, or learn together.
“It resembles (像) the way we also look for our partners,” says study leader Yana Bender, a doctoral researcher in the DogStudies Research Group in Germany. Dogs and their owners share “a very close relationship...comparable to many human relationships.”
Authors of the review also noted that the number of dogs and owners included in the studies are relatively small. Many of the owners who volunteered to participate in the studies also had purebred dogs, and scientists need more data on hybrid dogs, which are more common worldwide. Additionally, owner bias plays a role: Without a standardized way to assess dogs’ personalities, scientists must ask people to evaluate their own pets, who can be as hard to think about objectively as your human family.
32. Why does the author mention the Look-Alike Contest in the first paragraph?
A. To lead in the topic. B. To introduce the contest.
C. To give an example. D. To explain the background.
33. What can be inferred from the text?
A. People and their pets have similar hairstyles.
B. People and their pets mirror each other to some extent.
C. Dogs and their partners share a very close relationship.
D. The similarities between dogs and owners weaken over time.
34. What do we know about dogs and owners in paragraph 4?
A. They share the same personality characteristics.
B. They resemble in appearance and age.
C. The dogs may be attracted by owners who look like them.
D. They influence each other in terms of behavior and emotion.
35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The background of the research. B. The focus of the research.
C. The limitations of the research. D. The prospect of the research.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,探讨了狗与主人在外貌和性格上的相似性,并提供了科学研究支持这一观点。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“After all, her puppy had long, floppy ears that perfectly matched her wavy, blond bob.(她的小狗有着和她一样的长而柔软的耳朵与她的卷曲的金发完美匹配)”,可以推知作者提及比赛是为了引出话题,讨论狗与主人之间的相似性。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“A recent review of 15 studies from around the globe suggests that not only people and their pets look and act similarly, but that the similarities between their personalities deepen over time. 最近对全球15项研究的回顾表明,不仅人类和他们的宠物看起来和行为相似,而且他们性格之间的相似之处也随着时间的推移而加深)”可以推知,人和宠物在某种程度上反映了彼此。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“the two species may regulate each other’s emotions, reinforce each other’s behavior, or learn together.(这两种物种可能会调节彼此的情绪、强化彼此的行为,或一起学习)”可知,狗和主人在行为和情感方面相互影响。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Authors of the review also noted that the number of dogs and owners included in the studies are relatively small. Many of the owners who volunteered to participate in the studies also had purebred dogs, and scientists need more data on hybrid dogs, which are more common worldwide. Additionally, owner bias plays a role: Without a standardized way to assess dogs’ personalities, scientists must ask people to evaluate their own pets, who can be as hard to think about objectively as your human family.( 该综述的作者还指出,研究中包括的狗和主人的数量相对较少。许多自愿参加研究的狗主人也养了纯种狗,科学家们需要更多关于杂交狗的数据,这种狗在世界范围内更为常见。此外,主人的偏见也起到了一定的作用:没有一种标准化的方法来评估狗的个性,科学家们必须让人们评估自己的宠物,这些宠物可能和你的人类家庭一样难以客观地思考)”可知,说明了研究的局限性。最后一段主要讲了研究的局限性。故选C。

【56题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:周四,X博物馆数字艺术平台X Virtual的新项目“X虚拟聚会:Honey”在北京启动,其中包括由国内外多位创意人士设计的展览和视频游戏。launch作本句谓语,根据时间状语on Thursday可知,用一般过去时,和主语X Virtual Gathering: Honey之间是被动关系,用被动语态,主语为第三人称单数。故填was launched。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一进入展览,观众就被游戏中播放的电子音乐和嗡嗡的噪音所吸引,游戏的界面被投影在墙上。本句已有谓语动词,所以mix用非谓语形式,和逻辑主语electronic music之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填mixed。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这只工蜂以未来主义的、机械的和金属的风格被描绘出来,它飞过各种各样的风景,包括一个神秘的丛林和一座喷发的火山。根据and可知,空处和robotic以及metallic并列,应填形容词作定语,future的形容词形式是futuristic。故填futuristic。
【59题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:这只工蜂以未来主义的、机械的和金属的风格被描绘出来,它飞过各种各样的风景,包括一个神秘的丛林和一座喷发的火山。fly作本句谓语,描述客观状态,用一般现在时,主语the worker bee,为第三人称单数。故填flies。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意:八个音乐片段,每一个代表一个特定的事件,当它在游戏中的不同关卡中移动时被触发,让玩家沉浸在一个蜜蜂的视角的冒险中。adventure意为“冒险”,为可数名词,句中用的单数,前用不定冠词修饰,adventure为元音音素开头,用an修饰。故填an。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:音乐作为一种抽象的媒介,改变和挑战参与者的感官,促使我们重新思考生态正义和物种正义。此处是固定搭配:urge sb. to do sth.意为“敦促某人做某事”。故填to rethink。
【62题详解】
考查连词。句意:据策展人介绍,这个项目探索了广阔的、相互联系的蜜蜂世界,以及它如何影响生态、人类文明和资本主义的思想。根据句意,the vast, interconnected world of bees和后文的how it influences ideas around ecology, human civilization, and capitalism.之间是并列关系,用and连接。故填and。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:这是对我们人类所面临的资源枯竭和生物多样性净丧失等危机以及通过技术革命逐渐扩大的文明与自然之间的鸿沟的紧急反应。此处是固定搭配:response to意为“对……的反应”。故填to。
【64题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这是对我们人类所面临的资源枯竭和生物多样性净丧失等危机以及通过技术革命逐渐扩大的文明与自然之间的鸿沟的紧急反应。空处引导限制性定语从句,先行词是biodiversity,在从句中作宾语,指物,用which或者that引导。故填which或者that。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意:这是对我们人类所面临的资源枯竭和生物多样性净丧失等危机以及通过技术革命逐渐扩大的文明与自然之间的鸿沟的紧急反应。空前是动词,所以空处应填名词作宾语,divide的名词形式是division,不可数。故填division。

67. 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。
Every Sunday, the competition started. The three of us would set our alarm clocks to wake up earlier than anyone else. I had set my alarm clock to six in the morning, hoping that my brothers wouldn't start before me.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Groaning, I reached over to my nightstand and slapped the top of my alarm clock. “Too early on this cold winter day,” I murmured. I curled back into my warm blanket and fell asleep again.
My eyes blinked open to the whirring sound of the vacuum cleaner. “They chose their chores first!” I thought with despair. I jumped up from my bed and rushed to the bathroom, where I started the only chore that was left for me. I would definitely be shoveling (铲) the driveway while they built an igloo (冰屋) , I thought cheerlessly, rubbing and wiping madly at the toilet bowl.
When I finished cleaning the toilet and sink, my brothers came into the bathroom to watch me clean the bathtub as they mocked me about how I'd overslept and got stuck with the longest chore. “Whoever finishes last has to shovel the driveway, remember?” my older brother reminded me with a triumphant smile when we put on our big coats and snow pants to go outside.
The three of us stepped outside into the knee-deep snow and shielded our eyes from the brightness. My brothers wasted no time and dashed off to play in the yard, leaving me behind to tackle the frustrating task of shoveling the driveway. With a heavy sigh, I inched through the thick snow to the driveway, my boots sinking with each step. I grunted (嘟哝) with effort as my brothers yelled with joy. Sunday would never be my day, I sighed.
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作答。
Suddenly, I heard the sound of a shovel rubbing against the driveway concrete.

【答案】参考范文
Suddenly. I heard the sound of a shovel rubbing against the driveway concrete. Turning around, I saw my brothers busily scooping snow from the driveway. “We're not helping: we just need blocks of snow for our igloo,” my younger brother explained hastily. Watching them, I couldn't help but smile. Despite their explanation, it was clear they were helping me, which greatly warmed my heart. With their help,the task became easier, and soon scoop by scoop, we cleared out the driveway together, laughing and chatting as we worked. We dug up enough snow to build the igloo of our dreams.
After we finished, we sat inside the igloo, laughing about our morning adventures. As we sipped on some hot cocoa, the warmth of the cocoa and the snugness of the igloo made me forget all about the cold outside. Looking around at my brothers' smiling faces. I felt a warm sense of contentment. Despite our silly competitions and occasional teasing, there was nowhere else I'd rather be than right there. surrounded by my family. As we sat together. I couldn't help but feel grateful for these moments. It wasn't just about the igloo or the hot cocoa: it was about the bond we shared as siblings. That day, as we sat in our cozy snow fortress. I realized that our rivalry was just a small part of the love and support we had for each other. And that's what made our Sundays so special.

This is the season for spending, or so it seems, as we look ahead to the end-of-year holidays and start shelling out money left and right for decorations, presents, food, and on and on. To keep more of your money in your pocket, follow these dos and don’ts.
Do consider joining a membership program.
Programs from Amazon, Walmart and others can get you more than discounts and rewards. Membership also gets you fast, free deliveries on other qualifying orders with no minimums, plus other perks.
Do buy low.
Price trackers help you time your purchases so you can pounce (抓住机会) when prices hit rock bottom or close to it. At the very least, these tools can give you pricing information so you’ ll know a good deal when you see it.
Don’t fall for fake reviews.
Review fraud is rampant (猖獗), and it could get a lot harder to spot fake user reviews, thanks to the growing use of artificial intelligence. Two tools that can help you shop smarter with user reviews are Fakespot and ReviewMeta, which rate product ratings. Both sites also tease out trustworthy comments to help you find relevant and insightful product information.
Don’t put off those payments.
“Buy now, pay later” (BNPL) options are advocated by companies like Affirm and Afterpay. You can pay in installments (分期付款), and you don’t have to wait to get your goodies. But there is a big downside: If you’ re struggling with debt, BNPL payments can dig your hole deeper, ending up raising your interest rates on mortgage and car loans.
21. What additional benefits can membership programs offer?
A. Free fast deliveries with no minimums.
B. Exclusive early access to new products.
C. Personalized shopping recommendations.
D. Guaranteed rock bottom prices of all items.
22. How can consumers identify fake reviews more effectively?
A. Checking for purchase labels on reviews.
B. Using price trackers to analyze review trends.
C. Joining loyalty programs for authentic reviews
D. Applying tools like Fakespot and ReviewMeta.
23. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To promote membership programs
B. To warn consumers of unstable prices
C. To provide shopping tips on money saving.
D. To discourage customers from shopping online.

Cutting back on animal protein in our diets can save on resources and greenhouse gas emissions. But convincing meat-loving consumers to switch up their menu is a challenge. Looking at this problem from a mechanical engineering angle, Stanford engineers are pioneering a new approach to food texture (口感) testing that could make plant-based meats taste and feel like real meat.
Led by Ellen Kuhl, professor of mechanical engineering and senior author of the study, the Stanford team ran a three-dimensional food test. They tested eight types of food, such as hot dogs, turkey, sausages and so on, each including both animal-based and plant-based options. They mounted bits of meat into a machine that pulled, pushed, and cut on the samples. “These three loading modes represent what you do when you chew,” said Kuhl.
Then, they used machine learning to process the data from these tests: They designed a new type of neural network that takes the raw data from the tests and produces equations (方程) that explain the qualities of the meats. To see if these equations can explain the perception of texture, the team carried out a test survey. The testers — who first completed surveys on their openness to new foods and their attachment to meat — ate samples of the eight products and rated them for 12 categories, such as soft, hard, and meat-like.
In the mechanical testing, the plant-based hot dog and sausage behaved very similarly to their animal counterparts (对应物) in the tests, and showed similar hardness. Meanwhile, the plant-based turkey was twice as hard as animal turkey. Strikingly, the human testers also ranked the hardness of the hot dogs and sausages very similarly to the mechanical tests. “What’s really cool is that the ranking of the people was almost identical to the ranking of the machine,” said Kuhl.
The findings suggest that new, data-driven methods hold promise for speeding up the process of developing tasty plant-based products. “Hopefully, we could use generative artificial intelligence to scientifically generate recipes for plant-based meat products with precisely desired properties,” the authors wrote in the paper.
28. How was the Stanford team’s first food test carried out?
A. By analyzing human chewing behavior.
B. By copying the motions of human chewing.
C. By comparing the softness of various foods.
D. By processing data collected from human testers.
29. Why did the researchers use machine learning in their study?
A. To identify food texture categories.
B. To design plant-based meat recipes.
C. To generate equations for food properties.
D. To replace human evaluations with machines.
30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The outcome of the test. B. The final step of the test.
C. The evaluation of the test. D. The practical use of the test.
31. What is the paper authors’ attitude to the finding of the test?
A. Uncertain. B. Indifferent. C. Careful. D. Optimistic.
D
When I looked at the Pennington Day dog show’s Look-Alike Contest in suburban New Jersey in the mid-1990s, I had all the confidence of a young girl assured of victory. After all, her puppy had long, floppy ears that perfectly matched her wavy, blond bob.
Turns out there is actual science to back up the stereotype (模式化观念) that dogs look like their owners. A recent review of 15 studies from around the globe suggests that not only people and their pets look and act similarly, but that the similarities between their personalities deepen over time.
In many of the studies, scientists asked study volunteers to match pictures of dogs and their owners, which they did better than they would just by chance. Another found that women often had hair of a similar length to the dogs’ ears. So what gives? Experts suspect people choose dogs that look like them or reflect them in some way.
The review also showed that dogs and owners have similar personality characteristics, especially extroversion and neuroticism, and that their temperaments (性情) appeared to grow more alike. The study offers different theories for why, including that owners may be drawn to dogs that are like them to begin with, and as they age together, the two species may regulate each other’s emotions, reinforce each other’s behavior, or learn together.
“It resembles (像) the way we also look for our partners,” says study leader Yana Bender, a doctoral researcher in the DogStudies Research Group in Germany. Dogs and their owners share “a very close relationship...comparable to many human relationships.”
Authors of the review also noted that the number of dogs and owners included in the studies are relatively small. Many of the owners who volunteered to participate in the studies also had purebred dogs, and scientists need more data on hybrid dogs, which are more common worldwide. Additionally, owner bias plays a role: Without a standardized way to assess dogs’ personalities, scientists must ask people to evaluate their own pets, who can be as hard to think about objectively as your human family.
32. Why does the author mention the Look-Alike Contest in the first paragraph?
A. To lead in the topic. B. To introduce the contest.
C. To give an example. D. To explain the background.
33. What can be inferred from the text?
A. People and their pets have similar hairstyles.
B. People and their pets mirror each other to some extent.
C. Dogs and their partners share a very close relationship.
D. The similarities between dogs and owners weaken over time.
34 What do we know about dogs and owners in paragraph 4?
A. They share the same personality characteristics.
B. They resemble in appearance and age.
C. The dogs may be attracted by owners who look like them.
D. They influence each other in terms of behavior and emotion.
35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The background of the research. B. The focus of the research.
C. The limitations of the research. D. The prospect of the research.

67. 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。
Every Sunday, the competition started. The three of us would set our alarm clocks to wake up earlier than anyone else. I had set my alarm clock to six in the morning, hoping that my brothers wouldn't start before me.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Groaning, I reached over to my nightstand and slapped the top of my alarm clock. “Too early on this cold winter day,” I murmured. I curled back into my warm blanket and fell asleep again.
My eyes blinked open to the whirring sound of the vacuum cleaner. “They chose their chores first!” I thought with despair. I jumped up from my bed and rushed to the bathroom, where I started the only chore that was left for me. I would definitely be shoveling (铲) the driveway while they built an igloo (冰屋) , I thought cheerlessly, rubbing and wiping madly at the toilet bowl.
When I finished cleaning the toilet and sink, my brothers came into the bathroom to watch me clean the bathtub as they mocked me about how I'd overslept and got stuck with the longest chore. “Whoever finishes last has to shovel the driveway, remember?” my older brother reminded me with a triumphant smile when we put on our big coats and snow pants to go outside.
The three of us stepped outside into the knee-deep snow and shielded our eyes from the brightness. My brothers wasted no time and dashed off to play in the yard, leaving me behind to tackle the frustrating task of shoveling the driveway. With a heavy sigh, I inched through the thick snow to the driveway, my boots sinking with each step. I grunted (嘟哝) with effort as my brothers yelled with joy. Sunday would never be my day, I sighed.
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作答。
Suddenly, I heard the sound of a shovel rubbing against the driveway concrete.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After we finished, we sat inside the igloo, laughing about our morning adventures.
