A. How King became successful.
B. When King published his first book.
C. What awards King received.
【答案】18. A 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【原文】M: Stephen King is one of the most successful writers in the world. Many of his stories are set in his home state of Maine, the USA. When he was young, he saw one of his friends being struck and killed by a train. That’s why he often writes about death. When his first book, Carrie, was published, no one knew Stephen King, so his name meant nothing. Three years later, Carrie was made into a movie, which turned out to be a huge success. Since that first success, many of King’s books have been made into movies. King usually writes about ordinary people in ordinary places. Perhaps this is the reason for his success his readers think what happens to the people in his books could happen to them. So far, he has published 58 novels, including seven under the pen name Richard Bachman, and six non-fiction books. He has also written about 200 short stories. He has received many awards for his contributions to literature. King once said: “I read and write for about eight hours a day, which makes me a writer today!”

Jules Verne is widely regarded as one of the fathers of science fiction. His “ExtraordinaryVoyages (航海)” series transport readers on grand adventures to the far reaches of Earth and beyond. But Verne did more than just tell entertaining stories — he also predicted over 100modern-day inventions and technologies in his writings.
For example, in the 1889 short story In the Year 2889, Verne painted a picture of a highly networked world with global multimedia communications. He described the “phonotelephone” which sent sound and images over great distances. The main character, Fritz Napoleon Smith, is able to easily communicate via this technology with his wife on another continent:
“Mr. Smith was able distinctly to see his wife despite the distance that separated him from her... Mrs. Smith immediately appeared on the telephotic screen, with her features smiling and her eyes moist (潮湿的) with tears.”
Verne’s technically-grounded adventure tales represented a new approach to imagining the future through fiction. Unlike other writers of his day who penned more fanciful or supernatural stories, Verne aimed for realism in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge science and his own extensive research. This laid the foundation for the “hard science fiction” of the 20th century and beyond.
Verne is often thought of as a technological optimist, a champion of scientific progress and innovation. But his writings also reveal another perspective. Many of his stories feature a brilliant but mad scientist whose inventions ultimately bring more harm than good. CaptainNemo in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea uses his submarine (潜艇) to violently attack ships. ForVerne human nature determined whether technology would be a force for good or a source of destruction.
The spirit of adventure in Verne’s timeless stories will live on, continuing to inspire generations to push the boundaries of the possible and create the world of tomorrow. That is perhaps the greatest achievement of the extraordinary voyages of Jules Verne.
24. How does Mr. Smith contact his wife in In the Year 2889?
A. By holding an in-person talk. B. By making a long-distance call.
C By sending a letter back home. D. By having an instant video chat.
25. What is the“hard science fiction” based on?
A. The unrealistic fantasies. B. The fictional technologies.
C. The latest research findings. D. The imagined future worlds.
26. What can we infer about Verne from Captain Nemo’s story?
A. He is disappointed with human nature.
B. He is aware of the danger of technology.
C. He is in favour of scientific development.
D. He is different from the writers of his time.
27. Which of the following best describes Jules Verne according to the text?
A. Strong-willed. B. Fantasy-seeking.
C. Positive-minded. D. Forward-thinking.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了科幻小说之父之一Jules Verne及其作品。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“He described the ‘phonotelephone’ which sent sound and images over great distances. The main character, Fritz Napoleon Smith, is able to easily communicate via this technology with his wife on another continent(他描述了可以远距离传送声音和图像的‘电话机’。主人公Fritz Napoleon Smith能够通过这种技术轻松地与他在另一个大陆的妻子交流)”和第三段中“Mr. Smith was able distinctly to see his wife despite the distance that separated him from her... Mrs. Smith immediately appeared on the telephotic screen, with her features smiling and her eyes moist (潮湿的) with tears.(Smith先生能够清楚地看到他的妻子,尽管他和她相隔很远……Smimth夫人立即出现在长焦屏幕上,脸上带着微笑,眼里含着泪水)”可知,Smith和妻子交流时使用可以远距离传送声音和图像的“电话机”,妻子的脸会出现在屏幕上,所以Smith是通过即时视频聊天和妻子联系,故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Unlike other writers of his day who penned more fanciful or supernatural stories, Verne aimed for realism in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge science and his own extensive research. This laid the foundation for the ‘hard science fiction’ of the 20th century and beyond.(与同时代的其他作家写更多的幻想或超自然的故事不同,Verne在他的未来愿景中追求现实主义,总是基于前沿科学和他自己的广泛研究。这为20世纪及以后的‘硬科幻小说’奠定了基础)”可知,“硬科幻小说”以最新的研究结果为基础,故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Many of his stories feature a brilliant but mad scientist whose inventions ultimately bring more harm than good. Captain Nemo in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea uses his submarine (潜艇) to violently attack ships. For Verne human nature determined whether technology would be a force for good or a source of destruction.(他的许多故事都描写了一位才华横溢但疯狂的科学家,他的发明最终带来的坏处大于好处。在《海底两万里》中,尼莫船长使用他的潜艇猛烈攻击船只。Verne认为,人类的本性决定了技术是善的力量还是毁灭的源泉)”可知,Verne描写尼莫船长使用他的潜艇猛烈攻击船只,这是描写科技带来的坏处,推知他意识到了科技的危险,故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“he also predicted over 100modern-day inventions and technologies in his writing(他还在他的作品中预言了100多种现代发明和技术)”和第四段中“Verne’s technically-grounded adventure tales represented a new approach to imagining the future through fiction.(Verne以技术为基础的冒险故事代表了一种通过小说想象未来的新方法)”可知,Verne的作品预言了100多种现代发明和技术,以技术为基础想象未来世界,故他具有前瞻性思维,故选D。
C
Self-confidence is trusting in our abilities or qualities. It’s usually seen as a good thing. But is it possible that we might benefit from a little less confidence in our beliefs?
For many years, Dr. Mark Leary, a neuroscientist at Duke University in Durham, N.C. , has studied the role of people’s beliefs in their behavior. He found overconfidence is very common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly 1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger. The good news is that there’s a “vaccine (疫苗)” for overconfidence, and that’s what scientists call “intellectual humility”— recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong.
A survey of 144 college students to measure their intellectual humility found that students who saw their thinking could be wrong tended to be more curious and more likely to seek out new knowledge. They ended up knowing more at the end of the day. But does it actually help you beyond that?
To find out more, Dr. Tenelle Porter at Ball State University conducted a series of studies with high school students. She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they’d change their study strategics to improve their performance and master the material for the next test.
Students who didn’t see their knowledge could be wrong might instead just sail through their studying and wouldn’t stop to ask themselves if they truly understood what they read, heard, or did. Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test, they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they had thought.
Although it might be good for you, researchers recognize that questioning your beliefs can be truly hard. Still, it’s important to remember that questioning beliefs isn’t always about replacing old ones with new ones. If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps.”
28. Why does the author mention the explosion of the Challenger?
A. To express his sorrow for the loss.
B. To stress the high risk of space flights.
C. To show the result of wrong operation.
D. To give an example of overconfidence.
29. What do we know about intellectual humility according to Porter’s research?
A. It urged students to gain recognition.
B. It encouraged students to take exams.
C. It helped students to adjust learning methods.
D. It motivated students to memorize knowledge.
30. What do the underlined words “got a subject down pat” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Fully mastered a subject. B. Put great effort into a subject
C. Really enjoyed a subject. D. Benefited a lot from a subject.
31. What will probably be discussed in the following paragraphs?
A. Why questioning our belief is hard.
B. Why intellectual humility is helpful.
C. How to become a confident person.
D. How to practice intellectual humility.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家的研究,通过具体研究案例,来说明智力谦逊如何帮助人们更好地学习和调整学习策略。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第二至第四句“He found overconfidence is very common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly 1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger. (他发现过度自信非常普遍,尤其是在人们认为某件事情正确时,这种过度自信可能会导致灾难性的决策。1986年,NASA认为每次太空飞行发生损失的风险大约是1/100,000。这种过度自信的信念可能引发了“挑战者号”的爆炸)”可知,作者先介绍了科学家发现过度自信可能导致严重后果,之后提及1986年这起灾难。由此推知,提及“挑战者号”爆炸是说明过度自信会导致灾难的一个例子。故选D项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第二、三句“She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they’d change their study strategics to improve their performance and master the material for the next test. (她发现,智力谦逊的学生更有可能去检验自己是否真正理解了学习材料,并寻找自己理解上的漏洞。当他们看到考试成绩时,他们会调整学习策略,以提高学习表现,并掌握好材料为下一次考试做准备)”可知,智力谦逊这种特质会使学生及时反思自己的学习,相应调整学习方法。故选C项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段第二句“Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test, they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they had thought. (这些学生以为自己对某个科目got down pat,但在考试中被要求解释时,他们发现自己的理解并没有自己想象的那么多)”可知,学生们在考试之前应是对自己比较自信,认为自己对该相关知识十分了解,或已经全会了,但到考场答题时,才发现自己会的不如原本所认为的那么多。由此可知,got a subject down pat应是“对某科目了解很多”或“对某科目完全掌握”之意。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“The good news is that there’s a “vaccine (疫苗)” for overconfidence, and that’s what scientists call “intellectual humility”— recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong. (好消息是,过度自信有一种“疫苗”,科学家称之为“智力谦逊”——即认识到你的信念可能是错误的)”及全文最后一句“If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps.” (如果你觉得很难质疑一种信念,可以尝试迈出“一小步”)”可知,最后一句中所说的“question a belief”即前文所说的“recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong”,也就是第二段最后一句引号中所言的“智力谦逊”。全文最后一句又说,“可以尝试迈出‘一小步’”。由此推知,所谓的“一小步”究竟该怎么做,会在下文进行介绍,即如何练习做到“智力谦虚”。故选D项。
D
The ability to detect a nearby presence without seeing or touching it may sound fantastical — but it’s a real ability that some creatures have. A family of African fish known as Mormyrids are weakly electric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby target, even when it’s hiding in the mud. Scientists have now developed an artificial sensor system modelled on the ability of these fish.
“We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin, bio-inspired by ‘electric fish’,” says Dr. Xinge Yu, an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong. The team described their e-skin sensor in a paper published on November 14 in Nature.
The artificial sensor is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter (发射器), which will generate an electric field once activated, and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object. A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter. When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted (扰乱), which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a microcontroller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices.
A special biogel (生物凝胶) is used in the sensor, which has the ability to transmit and receive electric signals from a pattern of microchannels on the surface. The end result is a sensor that is thin, soft and flexible, making it cosy to adapt to irregular surfaces, such as the human body. In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors. This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection, transmission, and processing.
The researchers hope that this sensor could one day open up a new range of wearable technologies, including sensors for human-machine interaction and thin, flexible e-skin.
32. The first paragraph aims to show __________.
A. the special ability of African fish
B. the inspiration for a new invention
C. the big challenge of locating objects
D. the reason for developing a sensor
33. What is the correct order of the system’s working procedures?
a. The transmitter creates an electric field.
b. A unit computes the position of the target.
c. The controller sends the activating signal.
d. The receiver detects the change of electric signals.
e. The electric field is disrupted by an approaching object.
A. c-a-e-d-b. B. c-a-d-e-b.
C. a-c-e-d-b. D. a-e-c-d-b.
34. What is an advantage of the new sensor system?
A. Its sensitivity to different stimulations.
B. Its adaptation to environmental changes.
C. Its efficiency in achieving 3D positioning.
D. Its speed in data collection and processing.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Machine Detective “Wears” Flexible E-skin
B. Bio-inspired Sensor “Feels” Without Touching
C. E-Skin Sensor: The Future of Machine Learning
D. Electric Fields: The Frontier of Object Detection

【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“A family of African fish known as Mormyrids are weakly electric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby target, even when it’s hiding in the mud. Scientists have now developed an artificial sensor system modelled on the ability of these fish. (一种被称为电鱼的非洲鱼类是弱电性的,有特殊的器官可以定位附近的目标,即使它躲在泥里。科学家们现在已经开发出一种以这些鱼的能力为模型的人工传感器系统)”可知,第一段主要介绍了一种鱼类,有特殊的器官可以定位附近的目标,受此启发,科学家们开发出一种以这些鱼的能力为模型的人工传感器系统,由此可知,第一段旨在介绍一个新发明的灵感。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段内容“The artificial sensor is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter (发射器), which will generate an electric field once activated, and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object. A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter. When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted (扰乱), which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a microcontroller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices. (人工传感器是多层的。一层充当发射器,一旦激活就会产生电场,另一层充当接收器,检测物体的方向和距离。一个单独的控制器产生驱动信号来激活发射器。当物体进入范围内时,传感器周围的电场会被扰乱,这反过来又可以被接收器检测到。然后,微控制器单元处理这些数据,计算目标物体的位置,并将该信息发送到智能手机或其他设备)”可知,工作过程是控制器发送激活信号,发射器产生电场,电场被接近的物体扰乱,接收器检测电信号的变化,一个微控制器单元计算目标的位置,结合选项可知,系统工作程序的正确顺序是“c-a-e-d-b”。故选A项。

(与需要大量传感器来实现空间定位的传统传感器系统相比,新系统可以使用几个传感器在3D空间中精确定位物体。这大大降低了数据收集、传输和处理的功耗)”可知,新传感器系统在实现3D定位方面的效率更高,大大降低了数据收集、传输和处理的功耗,由此可知,新传感器系统的优点是它在实现3D定位方面的效率更高。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“A family of African fish known as Mormyrids are weakly electric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby target, even when it’s hiding in the mud.

(一种被称为电鱼非洲鱼类是弱电性的,有特殊的器官可以定位附近的目标,即使它躲在泥里。科学家们现在已经开发出一种以这些鱼的能力为模型的人工传感器系统)”可知,文章主要介绍了受生物启发开发的一种新型传感器,该传感器能够通过电场感知物体而无需接触,具备灵活、高效的特点。B选项“Bio-inspired Sensor “Feels” Without Touching(受生物启发的传感器“无需接触即可感知”)”准确概括了文章的核心内容。故选B项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Green roofs have been around for thousands of years, long before modern housing was developed. From the simple grass-covered roofs above caves to the famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon, they remained an important part of architecture. ____36____ They bring enormous environmental benefits and offer solutions to some pressing ecological challenges of our time.
In the design of a green roof, there are key factors that count. The first step is to install (安装) a protective layer over the roof to prevent water damage. ____37____ It’s essential to choose high-quality materials, as once the green roof is completed and the building is in use, replacing the protective layer becomes difficult and expensive.
Next, a drainage (排水) layer, which is often made of pebbles or a special mat, is placed on top. It helps water flow off the roof instead of pooling on it. Then, a growing medium, like soil or other similar materials, is spread over the drainage layer. ____38____
Now it’s time to choose plants for the roof. Some plants have shallow root systems and don’t need much water. ____39____ Sedum and chives are good examples of such plants. They are not only water-efficient but tough and long-lasting.
____40____ It’s important to think about your budget. On average, it costs $25 to $30 per square foot to install a green roof. This doesn’t include the cost of installing or repairing the normal roof underneath. And there is labour cost to cover. If a traditional roof costs $30 per square foot, installing a green roof could easily double that expense.
A. This is where the plants will grow.
B. However, green roofs come at a high cost.
C. Today, green roofs are gaining more attention.
D. These features make them ideal for green roofs.
E. As a result, they led to the popularity of green roofs.
F. Green roof materials can range from grass to solar panels.
G. The layer also stops plant roots growing into the roof structure.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Have you heard of the term Start of Winter? There are things you may not know about it. Start of Winter is the first one of 24 Solar terms, among ____56____ it means winter is coming and crops ____57____(harvest) in autumn should be stored up.
Before the Start of Winter, the ancient emperor would take a shower and have no more meat. On that day, the emperor would lead his officials to the suburbs and perform the ceremony of “____58____(welcome) the winter.” The following are some traditions about the festival.
Legend has ____59____ that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty(AD25-220), “Medical Saint” Zhang Zhongjing saved many people in Henan province ____60____ a terrible epidemic around Start of Winter, and their ears avoided being frostbitten.

57. harvested
58. welcoming
59. it 60. from
61. the 62. have learned##have learnt
63. or##otherwise
64. is stewed
65. effectiveness
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了24节气中立冬的来历和习俗。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:立冬是24节气中的第一个节气,这意味着冬天即将来临,秋天收获的庄稼应该储存起来。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是“24 Solar terms”,在介词 “among”后作宾语,关系代词要用“which”,故填which。
【57题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:同上。设空处修饰名词作定语,“harvest”和“crops”是被动关系,表示“被收割的庄稼”,所以用过去分词“harvested”,故填harvested。
【58题详解】
考查动名词。句意:在这一天,皇帝会带领他的官员到郊区,举行“迎冬”仪式。介词of后接动名词作宾语,所以“welcome”要变为“welcoming”,故填welcoming。
【59题详解】
考查固定句型。句意:传说在东汉末年(公元25-220年),“医圣”张仲景在立冬前后拯救了河南省许多人,使他们免于一场可怕的瘟疫,他们的耳朵也没有被冻伤。“Legend has it that...”是固定句型,意思是“传说……”,故填it。
【60题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:同上。“save...from...”是固定短语,意思是“从……中拯救……”,符合句意,故填from。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他把这些食材包成面皮,做成耳朵的形状。设空处修饰名词shape,后面有of ears限定,所以特指耳朵的形状,应用定冠词the,故填the。
【62题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:从那时起,人们就学会了制作这种被称为“饺子”的食物。“Since then”是现在完成时的标志,“since +过去的时间点”,句子要用现在完成时,结构是“have/has + 过去分词”,主语“people”是复数,所以用“have learned/have learnt”,故填have learned/have learnt。
【63题详解】
考查连词。句意:今天仍有“立冬吃饺子,不然耳朵会冻伤”的说法。“祈使句+ or/otherwise +陈述句”,表示“做某事,否则……”,符合句意,故填or/otherwise。
【64题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:为了准备即将到来的寒冷冬天,那里的人们喜欢吃高热量的食物,如鸡、鸭、牛肉、羊肉和鱼,这些食物是用四种中药炖的。“which ____ (stew) with the four Chinese medicines”,这里“which”指代前面的“food such as chicken, duck, beef, mutton, and fish”,和“stew”是被动关系,且描述的是一般情况,所以用一般现在时的被动语态“be +过去分词”,主语是food,be 动词用is,故填is stewed”。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意:这种做法可以提高营养的整体有效性。设空处为名词作宾语,“effective” 的名词形式是“effectiveness”,表示“效果”,故填effectiveness。

Dear Mr. Green,
I am writing to share my ideas on the logo design for our English literature reading room.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
【答案】Logo 1: “Open a Book, Open a World”
Dear Mr. Green,
I’m writing to share my ideas on the logo design for our English literature reading room. I believe Logo 1, “Open a Book, Open a World,” is the best choice.
The visual symbolism of this logo is incredibly powerful with the open book and the globe above it combined to clearly convey that reading is a gateway to a world of knowledge and experiences. This aligns perfectly with the educational goal of broadening students’ horizons and cultivating global awareness. Moreover, the logo is truly motivating, reminding students that reading is an enriching journey that leads to personal growth and a deeper understanding of the world around them.
Surely, this logo will inspire students to embrace reading as a way to explore both the world and themselves.(110 words)
Sincerely
Li Hua
Logo 2: “Read to Succeed”
Dear Mr. Green,
I’m writing to share my ideas on the logo design for our English literature reading room. I am particularly drawn to the second logo, which reads “Read to Succeed.”
The visual design of this logo—featuring upward stairs trophy, and growth graph combined into a graduation cap—effectively symbolizes the connection between reading and academic success. It portrays the idea that reading is a key to achieving one’s goals and excelling in studies. In addition, the simplicity of the logo and its direct message makes it easy to understand, which will resonate well with students who are striving for academic achievement. This logo will encourage them to view reading as an essential step toward achieving their dreams.
I hope my feedback is helpful and I’m excited to see the result.(110 words)
Sincerely,
Li Hua
Logo 3: “Discover Yourself Through Reading”
Dear Mr. Green,
I’m writing to share my ideas on the logo design for our English literature reading room. I prefer the third logo, which features the phrase “Discover Yourself Through Reading.”
The image of a person reading a book with his reflection visible in the page symbolizes self-discovery, which is a profound and inspiring message, demonstrating that reading is not only a means to gain knowledge but also a way to better understand oneself. Furthermore, the simple yet effective design is easy to recognize and remember, swiftly conveying the reading room’s core purpose—inviting students to embark on a journey of self-exploration and growth through reading extensively.
I believe this logo aligns perfectly with the goals of our reading room. Look forward to seeing its adoption.(110 words)
Sincerely,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
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。
The car turned onto the familiar road that led to Grandma’s farm. “Jude, this summer holiday will be a great chance for you to stay with your grandma,” Dad said as he drove. Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right.
The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded.
I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market.
Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.
However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.”
I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century.
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。
Maybe I could be someone who was really competent.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! Where are the parts?” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. Rolling up my sleeves, I carefully connected everything. It was a piece of cake to me. “Done!” I announced confidently. After a few adjustments, the internet was up and running. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Before long, notifications started showing up — people were noticing. My abilities made a difference!(96词)
Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered with joy as she began bustling about, packing flowers. Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone was on their feet, moving quickly to keep up with the growing orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. To our surprise, the roses sold out in just half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century, Jude,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized that being competent wasn’t about avoiding mistakes. It was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths.(100词)

Jules Verne is widely regarded as one of the fathers of science fiction. His “ExtraordinaryVoyages (航海)” series transport readers on grand adventures to the far reaches of Earth and beyond. But Verne did more than just tell entertaining stories — he also predicted over 100modern-day inventions and technologies in his writings.
For example, in the 1889 short story In the Year 2889, Verne painted a picture of a highly networked world with global multimedia communications. He described the “phonotelephone” which sent sound and images over great distances. The main character, Fritz Napoleon Smith, is able to easily communicate via this technology with his wife on another continent:
“Mr. Smith was able distinctly to see his wife despite the distance that separated him from her... Mrs. Smith immediately appeared on the telephotic screen, with her features smiling and her eyes moist (潮湿的) with tears.”
Verne’s technically-grounded adventure tales represented a new approach to imagining the future through fiction. Unlike other writers of his day who penned more fanciful or supernatural stories, Verne aimed for realism in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge science and his own extensive research. This laid the foundation for the “hard science fiction” of the 20th century and beyond.
Verne is often thought of as a technological optimist, a champion of scientific progress and innovation. But his writings also reveal another perspective. Many of his stories feature a brilliant but mad scientist whose inventions ultimately bring more harm than good. CaptainNemo in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea uses his submarine (潜艇) to violently attack ships. ForVerne human nature determined whether technology would be a force for good or a source of destruction.
The spirit of adventure in Verne’s timeless stories will live on, continuing to inspire generations to push the boundaries of the possible and create the world of tomorrow. That is perhaps the greatest achievement of the extraordinary voyages of Jules Verne.
24. How does Mr. Smith contact his wife in In the Year 2889?
A. By holding an in-person talk. B. By making a long-distance call.
C. By sending a letter back home. D. By having an instant video chat.
25. What is the“hard science fiction” based on?
A. The unrealistic fantasies. B. The fictional technologies.
C. The latest research findings. D. The imagined future worlds.
26. What can we infer about Verne from Captain Nemo’s story?
A. He is disappointed with human nature.
B. He is aware of the danger of technology.
C. He is in favour of scientific development.
D. He is different from the writers of his time.
27. Which of the following best describes Jules Verne according to the text?
A. Strong-willed. B. Fantasy-seeking.
C. Positive-minded. D. Forward-thinking.
C
Self-confidence is trusting in our abilities or qualities. It’s usually seen as a good thing. But is it possible that we might benefit from a little less confidence in our beliefs?
For many years, Dr. Mark Leary, a neuroscientist at Duke University in Durham, N.C. , has studied the role of people’s beliefs in their behavior. He found overconfidence is very common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly 1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger. The good news is that there’s a “vaccine (疫苗)” for overconfidence, and that’s what scientists call “intellectual humility”— recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong.
A survey of 144 college students to measure their intellectual humility found that students who saw their thinking could be wrong tended to be more curious and more likely to seek out new knowledge. They ended up knowing more at the end of the day. But does it actually help you beyond that?
To find out more, Dr. Tenelle Porter at Ball State University conducted a series of studies with high school students. She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they’d change their study strategics to improve their performance and master the material for the next test.
Students who didn’t see their knowledge could be wrong might instead just sail through their studying and wouldn’t stop to ask themselves if they truly understood what they read, heard, or did. Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test, they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they had thought.
Although it might be good for you, researchers recognize that questioning your beliefs can be truly hard. Still, it’s important to remember that questioning beliefs isn’t always about replacing old ones with new ones. If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps.”
28. Why does the author mention the explosion of the Challenger?
A. To express his sorrow for the loss.
B. To stress the high risk of space flights.
C. To show the result of wrong operation.
D. To give an example of overconfidence.
29. What do we know about intellectual humility according to Porter’s research?
A. It urged students to gain recognition.
B. It encouraged students to take exams.
C. It helped students to adjust learning methods.
D. It motivated students to memorize knowledge.
30. What do the underlined words “got a subject down pat” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Fully mastered a subject. B. Put great effort into a subject
C. Really enjoyed a subject. D. Benefited a lot from a subject.
31. What will probably be discussed in the following paragraphs?
A. Why questioning our belief is hard.
B. Why intellectual humility is helpful.
C. How to become a confident person.
D. How to practice intellectual humility.

The ability to detect a nearby presence without seeing or touching it may sound fantastical — but it’s a real ability that some creatures have. A family of African fish known as Mormyrids are weakly electric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby target, even when it’s hiding in the mud. Scientists have now developed an artificial sensor system modelled on the ability of these fish.
“We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin, bio-inspired by ‘electric fish’,” says Dr. Xinge Yu, an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong. The team described their e-skin sensor in a paper published on November 14 in Nature.
The artificial sensor is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter (发射器), which will generate an electric field once activated, and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object. A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter. When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted (扰乱), which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a microcontroller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices.
A special biogel (生物凝胶) is used in the sensor, which has the ability to transmit and receive electric signals from a pattern of microchannels on the surface. The end result is a sensor that is thin, soft and flexible, making it cosy to adapt to irregular surfaces, such as the human body. In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors. This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection, transmission, and processing.
The researchers hope that this sensor could one day open up a new range of wearable technologies, including sensors for human-machine interaction and thin, flexible e-skin.
32. The first paragraph aims to show __________.
A. the special ability of African fish
B. the inspiration for a new invention
C. the big challenge of locating objects
D. the reason for developing a sensor
33. What is the correct order of the system’s working procedures?
a. The transmitter creates an electric field.
b. A unit computes the position of the target.
c. The controller sends the activating signal.
d. The receiver detects the change of electric signals.
e. The electric field is disrupted by an approaching object.
A. c-a-e-d-b. B. c-a-d-e-b.
C. a-c-e-d-b. D. a-e-c-d-b.
34. What is an advantage of the new sensor system?
A. Its sensitivity to different stimulations.
B Its adaptation to environmental changes.
C. Its efficiency in achieving 3D positioning.
D. Its speed in data collection and processing.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Machine Detective “Wears” Flexible E-skin
B. Bio-inspired Sensor “Feels” Without Touching
C. E-Skin Sensor: The Future of Machine Learning
D. Electric Fields: The Frontier of Object Detection

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Green roofs have been around for thousands of years, long before modern housing was developed. From the simple grass-covered roofs above caves to the famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon, they remained an important part of architecture. ____36____ They bring enormous environmental benefits and offer solutions to some pressing ecological challenges of our time.
In the design of a green roof, there are key factors that count. The first step is to install (安装) a protective layer over the roof to prevent water damage. ____37____ It’s essential to choose high-quality materials, as once the green roof is completed and the building is in use, replacing the protective layer becomes difficult and expensive.
Next, a drainage (排水) layer, which is often made of pebbles or a special mat, is placed on top. It helps water flow off the roof instead of pooling on it. Then, a growing medium, like soil or other similar materials, is spread over the drainage layer. ____38____
Now it’s time to choose plants for the roof. Some plants have shallow root systems and don’t need much water. ____39____ Sedum and chives are good examples of such plants. They are not only water-efficient but tough and long-lasting.
____40____ It’s important to think about your budget. On average it costs $25 to $30 per square foot to install a green roof. This doesn’t include the cost of installing or repairing the normal roof underneath. And there is labour cost to cover. If a traditional roof costs $30 per square foot, installing a green roof could easily double that expense.
A. This is where the plants will grow.
B. However, green roofs come at a high cost.
C. Today, green roofs are gaining more attention.
D. These features make them ideal for green roofs.
E. As a result, they led to the popularity of green roofs.
F. Green roof materials can range from grass to solar panels.
G. The layer also stops plant roots growing into the roof structure.

The car turned onto the familiar road that led to Grandma’s farm. “Jude, this summer holiday will be a great chance for you to stay with your grandma,” Dad said as he drove. Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right.
The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded.
I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market.
Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.
However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.”
I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century.
