I was born missing my left hand, yet I learned to adapt. One of my earliest memories is my father trying to teach me to tie my shoes. I gently pushed him aside and figured out a way to do it with one hand. My parents tried to make me feel ordinary, but the reality was inescapable.
When I was 13, an age when kids are already very self-conscious, I remembered getting on the bus and one of the other kids stared just a little too long at my left arm. I felt a sudden urge to hide my hand. I had decided that if people knew about my missing hand, they would not want to be around me anymore.
Making friends was challenging enough, but finding love was particularly discouraging. As I started dating,I made efforts to hide my difference. Eventually we’d reach a point in the relationship where I knew I had to tell the truth. I’d think over the “big reveal” and build it up in my mind for days. When I had gathered the courage, I let out my secret over the phone and hung up in a panic. Even when I received a call, I couldn’t face discussing it, relying on the answering machine.
Everyone I shared this with — friend, co-worker or boyfriend — said kind things like, “You shouldn’t hide it.” or “It’s no big deal.” But their words didn’t matter to me. The only words that really mattered were the ones I was telling myself, that story of how I was unworthy of love.
At 28, tired of hiding, I met someone special. For the first time, I allowed someone to really hold, look at, take pictures of, touch and love my limb— love me.
That relationship ended after ten years, but I kept the self-love and compassion I learned from it. From that point on, I saw my difference as something unique and beautiful about me, something that should be shown, not hidden.
4. How did the author tie her shoes?
A. By expecting quick success. B. By escaping from tying tries.
C. By finding her own method. D. By benefiting from father’s aid.
5. How did the author feel after sharing her difference?
A. Relieved. B. Unmoved. C. Unclear. D. Delighted.
6. What’s the author like after the ten-year relationship ended?
A. She had a positive attitude. B. She hid her difference again.
C. She became more dependent. D. She stopped making friends.
7. Which is the best title for the text?
A Dealing with Self-Consciousness B. The Role of Courage in Life
C. Overcoming Social Prejudice D. The Acceptance of Uniqueness
C
Thirty years ago, while working on a right whale research project in the Bay of Fundy, Canada, I witnessed a remarkable sight. A male right whale with mud on its head, indicating it had been feeding at the bottom, came up to breathe and rest. Just before diving again, it let out a huge mass of poop(粪便). The water was filled with poop that looked like red floating bricks and had a strong, unpleasant smell. If it got on your clothes, you’d have to discard them as it couldn’t be washed out.
This initial encounter later inspired me to conduct global search for whale poop, taking me from Iceland to Mexico, Alaska, and Hawaii. Right whale poop has a particularly strong and awful smell, but I’ve come to appreciate it. Whale poop provides valuable insights. It shows what whales eat, their hormones, if they’re ready to reproduce, how stressed they are, what’s in their gut(内脏), and their family tree. It also helps us assess the level of mercury and pollution in the ocean.
This experience set the path for my research career. Two years after seeing whale poop for the first time, I took an ocean ecology class and learned about the biological pump. Phytoplankton(浮游植物)grows near the ocean surface and through the food chain, nutrients can sink to the deep sea. However, I realized that right whales, which feed at depth and poop at the surface, likely bring nutrients like iron and so on back up. This led to the concept of the “whale pump”, which does the opposite of the biological pump by pumping nutrients back to the surface. These nutrients can be absorbed by phytoplankton and flow through the ocean food chain. This is important because some people in Japan, Norway, and Iceland think whales eat “our fish” and cause fish numbers to drop. The whale pump shows that the relationship is more complex and that whales might actually increase fish populations.
Whale poop not only helps us understand the present ocean but also gives us a look into the past when there were more whales. Restoring whales and their nutrient pathways could help make the ocean more diverse.
8. What does the underlined word “discard” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Abandon. B. Wash. C. Keep. D. Appreciate.
9. Why does the author appreciate whale poop?
A. It provides a remarkable sight. B. It makes the author travel a lot.
C. It looks like red floating bricks. D. It makes precious insights available.
10. What is the effect of the “whale pump”?
A. Nutrients float to the surface. B. Fisheries experience a decline.
C. The ocean food chain is threatened. D. The environment is polluted severely.
11. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To describe the abnormal behavior of right whales.
B. To explain the ecological importance of whale poop.
C. To argue against the idea that whales harm fisheries.
D. To discuss how we can understand the present ocean.
D
A Queensland University of Technology (QUT) research team has taken inspiration from the brains of insects and animals for more energy-efficient robotic navigation.
The research, led by Dr Hussaini, along with Professor Milford and Dr Fischer from the QUT Centre for Robotics, was published in IEEE Transactions on Robotics. They came up with a novel place recognition algorithm (算法) using Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs).
“SNNs are artificial neural networks that imitate how biological brains process information using brief, separate signals, much like how neurons (神经元) in animal brains communicate,” Dr Hussaini said. “These networks are particularly well-suited for neuromorphic hardware — specialized computer hardware that copies biological neural system — enabling faster processing and significantly reduced energy consumption.”
Modern robots still struggle to navigate and operate in complex, unknown environments. They also often rely on AI-based navigation systems that need a lot of computing power and energy for training.
Dr Fischer said, “Animals are really good at getting around in large, dynamic environments. They do it efficiently and reliably.” He thinks this research is a step closer to making navigation systems inspired by biology. These systems might one day be better than today’s conventional approaches.
The system developed by the QUT team uses small neural network parts to recognize specific places from images. These parts were put together to make a group of spiking networks to create a navigation system that can learn to move around in large environments.
“Using a series of images instead of single pictures enabled an improvement of 41 percent in place recognition accuracy, allowing the system to adapt to appearance changes over time and across different seasons and weather conditions,” Professor Milford said.
“This research can help make more efficient and reliable navigation systems for autonomous robots in energy-limited environments. It’s especially good for things like space exploration and disaster recovery, where using energy well and being quick to respond are critical,” Dr Hussaini said.
12. What does the QUT research focus on?
A. Testing artificial intelligence systems.
B. Imitating AI-based navigation systems.
C. Managing existing robotic navigation systems.
D. Creating bio-inspired robotic navigation systems.
13. What is a key advantage of SNNs?
A. Requiring low energy. B. Conducting object detection.
C. Producing suitable hardware. D. Processing separate information.
14. What can be inferred about neural network parts?
A. They analyze environmental sounds. B. They assess conventional approaches.
C. They enable accurate place recognition. D. They measure different weather conditions.
15. What’s the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The significance of the research. B. The advantage of the system.
C. The efficiency of the navigation. D. The performance of the application.

47. 阅读下面的材料,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。
As the sun was sinking in the west, painting the sky in colors of orange and pink, a group of young environmental enthusiasts gathered in the heart of the campus. These passionate individuals, part of the Green Earth Society, had been tirelessly planning an eco-friendly fair to raise awareness about sustainability in their community.
The event was just around the corner when they received unexpected news — a competitive group, the Nature Conservation Club whose leader was John, was hosting a similar event on the same day in a nearby park. Concern arose among the Green Earth Society members as they realized this could split the attendees and reduce the impact of both initiatives.
“We can’t change the date now,” expressed Sarah, a dedicated member known for her creative solutions. “But we can’t let our causes suffer either.” Mary, a thoughtful soul in the group, weighed silently, recognizing the importance of unity in such situations. Driven by her determination to make a difference, Mary tried hard to find a solution. She spent hours researching ways to cooperate with the Nature Conservation Club, understanding that together they could achieve far more than apart.
The following day, Mary presented her proposal to the Green Earth Society. “What if we combine our events?” she suggested. “By combining our efforts, we can increase our messages, attract more participants, and ensure both environmental causes receive the support they deserve.” The members exchanged uncertain looks, unsure of how the opponent club would respond. “It’s a challenging move, Mary, but how will we convince them?” questioned Mark, a doubtful member. Mary, with a firm resolve, replied, “I’ll speak with their leader and illustrate the advantages of a cooperative event.” Despite the challenges that lay ahead, Mary’s belief in the power of cooperation never changed. She was determined to bridge the gap, unite the two groups, and create a stronger front for environmental advocacy in their community.
注意:1. 续写词数应150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The members approved of letting Mary lead this effort.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After 2 days of discussion, Mary finally got a positive reply.

I was born missing my left hand, yet I learned to adapt. One of my earliest memories is my father trying to teach me to tie my shoes. I gently pushed him aside and figured out a way to do it with one hand. My parents tried to make me feel ordinary, but the reality was inescapable.
When I was 13, an age when kids are already very self-conscious, I remembered getting on the bus and one of the other kids stared just a little too long at my left arm. I felt a sudden urge to hide my hand. I had decided that if people knew about my missing hand, they would not want to be around me anymore.
Making friends was challenging enough, but finding love was particularly discouraging. As I started dating,I made efforts to hide my difference. Eventually we’d reach a point in the relationship where I knew I had to tell the truth. I’d think over the “big reveal” and build it up in my mind for days. When I had gathered the courage, I let out my secret over the phone and hung up in a panic. Even when I received a call, I couldn’t face discussing it, relying on the answering machine.

At 28 tired of hiding, I met someone special. For the first time, I allowed someone to really hold, look at, take pictures of, touch and love my limb— love me.
That relationship ended after ten years, but I kept the self-love and compassion I learned from it. From that point on, I saw my difference as something unique and beautiful about me, something that should be shown, not hidden.
4. How did the author tie her shoes?
A. By expecting quick success. B. By escaping from tying tries.
C. By finding her own method. D. By benefiting from father’s aid.
5. How did the author feel after sharing her difference?
A. Relieved. B. Unmoved. C. Unclear. D. Delighted.
6. What’s the author like after the ten-year relationship ended?
A. She had a positive attitude. B. She hid her difference again.
C. She became more dependent. D. She stopped making friends.
7. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Dealing with Self-Consciousness B. The Role of Courage in Life
C. Overcoming Social Prejudice D. The Acceptance of Uniqueness
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了天生缺少左手的作者从隐藏自身缺陷到最终接纳自我独特性的心路历程,强调了自我接纳的重要性。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I gently pushed him aside and figured out a way to do it with one hand.(我轻轻推开父亲,用一只手找到了系鞋带方法)”可知,作者通过自己的方式解决了系鞋带问题。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Everyone I shared this with — friend, co-worker or boyfriend — said kind things like, “You shouldn’t hide it.” or “It’s no big deal.” But their words didn’t matter to me. The only words that really mattered were the ones I was telling myself, that story of how I was unworthy of love(每个和我分享这件事的人——朋友、同事或男朋友——都会说些善意的话,比如“你不应该隐藏它。”或者“这没什么大不了的。”但他们的话对我没有意义。真正重要的是我告诉自己的那些话,那些关于我不值得被爱的故事)”可知别人的话对作者来说没有意义,作者认为重要的是那些关于自己不值得被爱的故事,可推理出作者在分享缺陷后并未被他人言语打动,仍陷于自我否定中。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“That relationship ended after ten years, but I kept the self-love and compassion I learned from it. From that point on, I saw my difference as something unique and beautiful about me, something that should be shown, not hidden(那段关系在十年后结束了,但我已经拥有了从那段关系中学到的自爱和同理心。从那时起,我认为我的不同之处是我独特而美丽的一部分,是应该展示而不是隐藏的)”可知作者在关系结束后,拥有了从那段关系中学到的自爱和同理心,认为应该展示而不是隐藏,可推理出作者形成了积极的心态。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“I was born missing my left hand, yet I learned to adapt. One of my earliest memories is my father trying to teach me to tie my shoes. I gently pushed him aside and figured out a way to do it with one hand. My parents tried to make me feel ordinary, but the reality was inescapable(我一出生就缺少左手,但我学会了适应。我最早的记忆之一是我爸爸试图教我系鞋带。我轻轻地把他推到一边,想出了用一只手系鞋带的方法。我的父母尽力让我觉得自己和其他人一样,但现实是无法逃避的)”、倒数第三段“Everyone I shared this with — friend, co-worker or boyfriend — said kind things like, “You shouldn’t hide it.” or “It’s no big deal.” But their words didn’t matter to me. The only words that really mattered were the ones I was telling myself, that story of how I was unworthy of love(每个和我分享这件事的人——朋友、同事或男朋友——都会说些善意的话,比如“你不应该隐藏它。”或者“这没什么大不了的。”但他们的话对我没有意义。真正重要的是我告诉自己的那些话,那些关于我不值得被爱的故事)”以及最后一段“That relationship ended after ten years, but I kept the self-love and compassion I learned from it.

Right whale poop has a particularly strong and awful smell, but I’ve come to appreciate it. Whale poop provides valuable insights. It shows what whales eat, their hormones, if they’re ready to reproduce, how stressed they are, what’s in their gut(内脏), and their family tree. It also helps us assess the level of mercury and pollution in the ocean.
This experience set the path for my research career. Two years after seeing whale poop for the first time, I took an ocean ecology class and learned about the biological pump. Phytoplankton(浮游植物)grows near the ocean surface and through the food chain, nutrients can sink to the deep sea. However, I realized that right whales, which feed at depth and poop at the surface, likely bring nutrients like iron and so on back up. This led to the concept of the “whale pump”, which does the opposite of the biological pump by pumping nutrients back to the surface. These nutrients can be absorbed by phytoplankton and flow through the ocean food chain. This is important because some people in Japan, Norway, and Iceland think whales eat “our fish” and cause fish numbers to drop. The whale pump shows that the relationship is more complex and that whales might actually increase fish populations.
Whale poop not only helps us understand the present ocean but also gives us a look into the past when there were more whales. Restoring whales and their nutrient pathways could help make the ocean more diverse.

A Queensland University of Technology (QUT) research team has taken inspiration from the brains of insects and animals for more energy-efficient robotic navigation.
The research, led by Dr Hussaini, along with Professor Milford and Dr Fischer from the QUT Centre for Robotics, was published in IEEE Transactions on Robotics. They came up with a novel place recognition algorithm (算法) using Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs).
“SNNs are artificial neural networks that imitate how biological brains process information using brief, separate signals, much like how neurons (神经元) in animal brains communicate,” Dr Hussaini said. “These networks are particularly well-suited for neuromorphic hardware — specialized computer hardware that copies biological neural system — enabling faster processing and significantly reduced energy consumption.”
Modern robots still struggle to navigate and operate in complex, unknown environments. They also often rely on AI-based navigation systems that need a lot of computing power and energy for training.
Dr Fischer said, “Animals are really good at getting around in large, dynamic environments. They do it efficiently and reliably.” He thinks this research is a step closer to making navigation systems inspired by biology. These systems might one day be better than today’s conventional approaches.
The system developed by the QUT team uses small neural network parts to recognize specific places from images. These parts were put together to make a group of spiking networks to create a navigation system that can learn to move around in large environments.
“Using a series of images instead of single pictures enabled an improvement of 41 percent in place recognition accuracy, allowing the system to adapt to appearance changes over time and across different seasons and weather conditions,” Professor Milford said.
“This research can help make more efficient and reliable navigation systems for autonomous robots in energy-limited environments. It’s especially good for things like space exploration and disaster recovery, where using energy well and being quick to respond are critical,” Dr Hussaini said.
12. What does the QUT research focus on?
A Testing artificial intelligence systems.
B. Imitating AI-based navigation systems.
C. Managing existing robotic navigation systems.
D. Creating bio-inspired robotic navigation systems.
13. What is a key advantage of SNNs?
A. Requiring low energy. B. Conducting object detection.
C. Producing suitable hardware. D. Processing separate information.
14. What can be inferred about neural network parts?
A. They analyze environmental sounds. B. They assess conventional approaches.
C. They enable accurate place recognition. D. They measure different weather conditions.
15. What’s the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The significance of the research. B. The advantage of the system.
C. The efficiency of the navigation. D. The performance of the application.

47. 阅读下面的材料,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。
As the sun was sinking in the west, painting the sky in colors of orange and pink, a group of young environmental enthusiasts gathered in the heart of the campus. These passionate individuals, part of the Green Earth Society, had been tirelessly planning an eco-friendly fair to raise awareness about sustainability in their community.
The event was just around the corner when they received unexpected news — a competitive group, the Nature Conservation Club whose leader was John, was hosting a similar event on the same day in a nearby park. Concern arose among the Green Earth Society members as they realized this could split the attendees and reduce the impact of both initiatives.
“We can’t change the date now,” expressed Sarah, a dedicated member known for her creative solutions. “But we can’t let our causes suffer either.” Mary, a thoughtful soul in the group, weighed silently, recognizing the importance of unity in such situations. Driven by her determination to make a difference, Mary tried hard to find a solution. She spent hours researching ways to cooperate with the Nature Conservation Club, understanding that together they could achieve far more than apart.
The following day, Mary presented her proposal to the Green Earth Society. “What if we combine our events?” she suggested. “By combining our efforts, we can increase our messages, attract more participants, and ensure both environmental causes receive the support they deserve.” The members exchanged uncertain looks, unsure of how the opponent club would respond. “It’s a challenging move, Mary, but how will we convince them?” questioned Mark, a doubtful member. Mary, with a firm resolve, replied, “I’ll speak with their leader and illustrate the advantages of a cooperative event.” Despite the challenges that lay ahead, Mary’s belief in the power of cooperation never changed. She was determined to bridge the gap, unite the two groups, and create a stronger front for environmental advocacy in their community.

【答案】One possible version:
The members approved of letting Mary lead this effort. With their support, she wasted no time in reaching out to John. In the meeting, Mary laid out her vision of collaboration between the two groups, emphasized the common goal they shared, and highlighted that together, they could inspire a greater number of people to protect the environment in their community. John was initially uncertain of the idea of merging events with the competitors. However, after hearing Mary’s sincere intentions and seeing the potential impact of a united front, he agreed to consider the proposal further. The next day, Mary continued to discuss with her members who provided her with lots of useful advices.
After 2 days of discussion, Mary finally got a positive reply. No sooner had she got the reply than she informed her group members. The members of the two groups set out to work out the details of the merged event, combining their original plans into a comprehensive program that showcased a wide range of environmental initiatives and activities. With the event approaching, excitement and anticipation filled the air. The park was decorated with colorful banners, attracting students and residents from the community. The collaborative effort proved to be a huge success, demonstrating the power of cooperation and solidarity in environmental advocacy.
