In the not-so-distant future, the doctors who treat our diseases might be tiny machines that swim through our bodies. Movies like Fantastic Voyage have long played with the idea of making machines the size of a single cell (细胞) — today advances in robotics have brought the idea ever closer to reality. In my lab, I’m just trying to build such intelligent, or smart, microrobots.
Tiny organisms (living things), such as bacteria (细菌), have many intelligent behaviors, and if we can make robots copy some of them, it’s very exciting. The way bacteria travel across their environment is unbelievable. At first, they kind of just aimlessly move around, but when they start sensing food, like an amino acid (氨基酸), they will move gradually in that direction. As a roboticist, you could imagine making tiny robots that can do the same thing.
For example, look at something like E. coli (大肠杆菌). It has receptors on its surface that can sense amino acids around it. It can change how it’s moving. It can rebuild or repair itself. In fact, E. coli does all these so well that some researchers are using it as part of their tiny machines. They are having their microrobots get free rides from it, and letting it do all the sensing for them and direct their movements.
We’re already using smaller and smaller medical tools for operations, like catheters (long thin pipes) that can travel deep into your brain to treat a tumor (肿瘤) or a blood clot. Next, we will put microrobots into the body that can travel into even smaller spaces and treat disease at an early stage. Imagine a device that can treat a blood clot deep in your brain that can’t be reached with existing catheters.
It’s important to note, though, that we may not actually need something as powerful as artificial intelligence (AI) in these cases. You can still build an extremely useful microrobot with a low degree of intelligence. For example: If a microrobot notices a tumor, it can slowly move in that direction, and carry medicine directly to that part. It might only have the intelligence of bacteria but could still be unbelievably effective.
11. Which of the following inspires the author’s work?
A. Bacteria’s ability to stay alive.
B. Movies about tiny machines.
C. Tiny organisms’ behaviors.
D. New advances in robotics.
12. What are some researchers doing according to paragraph 3?
A. Letting E. coli work for their tiny robots.
B. Using microrobots to sense amino acids.
C. Asking robots to direct bacteria’s movements.
D. Changing tiny machines into bacteria’s drivers.
13. What does the author think of existing catheters?
A. They are unlikely to be widely used by doctors.
B. They are unable to get to tinier areas in the body.
C. They will be smaller than microrobots in the future.
D. They can help doctors treat disease at an earlier stage.
14. Why does the author give the example in the last paragraph?
A. To show microrobots can treat tumors very easily.
B To show AI’s important role in developing tiny robots.
C. To explain the connection between AI and microrobots.
D. To explain limited intelligence is enough for microrobots.
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Artificial Intelligence: The Core of Future Medical Tools
B. Bacteria: Nature’s Tiny Engineers Guiding Robotics
C. The Challenges of Creating Cell-Sized Machines
D. Microrobots: Tiny Healers Inspired by Nature

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。在不远的将来,像细胞一样大的机器人将进入人体治疗疾病。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In the not-so-distant future, the doctors who treat our diseases might be tiny machines that swim through our bodies.(在不久的将来,治疗我们疾病的医生可能是在我们体内游动的微型机器)”和“In my lab, I’m just trying to build such intelligent, or smart, microrobots.(在我的实验室里,我正试图制造这种智能的微型机器人)”以及第二段的内容,尤其是“As a roboticist, you could imagine making tiny robots that can do the same thing.(作为一名机器人专家,你可以想象制造出能做同样事情的微型机器人)”可知,微生物的智能行为给作者的工作带来了灵感。作者是机器人专家,他想制造智能微型机器人,让它们做微生物可以做到的事。故选C。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In fact, E. coli does all these so well that some researchers are using it as part of their tiny machines. They are having their microrobots get free rides from it, and letting it do all the sensing for them and direct their movements.(事实上,大肠杆菌在这些方面做得非常好,以至于一些研究人员把它作为他们的微型机器的一部分。他们让他们的微型机器人免费乘坐它,让它为它们做所有的传感和指导它们的行动)”可知,一些研究人员正在利用大肠杆菌为他们的微型机器人工作。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Next, we will put microrobots into the body that can travel into even smaller spaces and treat disease at an early stage. Imagine a device that can treat a blood clot deep in your brain that can’t be reached with existing catheters.(接下来,我们将把微型机器人植入人体内,它们可以进入更小的空间,在早期治疗疾病。想象一下,一种设备可以治疗你大脑深处的血块,而现有的导管无法到达)”可知,作者认为现有的医用导管不能到达人体内更微小的地方。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It might only have the intelligence of bacteria but could still be unbelievably effective.(它可能只有细菌的智力,但仍然可能是令人难以置信的有效)”可知,作者举这个例子是为了说明简单的智能对微型机器人来说已经够用了。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段中“In the not-so-distant future, the doctors who treat our diseases might be tiny machines that swim through our bodies.(在不久的将来,治疗我们疾病的医生可能是在我们体内游动的微型机器)”可知,文章聚焦微型机器人(microrobots)的研发,强调其灵感来源于细菌等微生物的智能行为(如感知环境、定向移动等),并展望其在未来医疗中治疗疾病的作用, 选项D “微型机器人:受大自然启发的微型治疗者”精准概括了全文核心。故选D。

【答案】At age 50, she found herself out of work and stuck at home with only her computer to keep her company.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、过去分词作宾补、一般过去时和with的复合结构。根据句意,本句的时态为一般过去时。根据句式:find+宾语+宾补,表示“发觉自己失业了,困在家里”用found herself out of work and stuck at home;表示“只有电脑陪伴”用with的复合结构with only her computer to keep her company;故翻译为:At age 50, she found herself out of work and stuck at home with only her computer to keep her company.
62. 如果方便的话,我们希望你能接受我们的邀请。(convenient)(汉译英)
【答案】We hope you will accept our invitation if it is convenient for you.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态、条件状语从句和宾语从句。分析原文可知,“如果方便的话”可处理为条件状语从句,用从属连词if引导,用一般现在时,“方便”用形容词convenient表示,译为if it is convenient for you;“我们希望你能接受我们的邀请”是全句主句,但它本身还包含一个省略that引导的宾语从句,“我们希望”是主句部分,用“we hope”表示,用一般现在时,“你能接受我们的邀请”是宾语从句,其中主语用you表示,“接受”是谓语动词,用accept表示,表达意愿,用will accept,“我们的邀请”是宾语,用our invitation表示,译为we hope you will accept our invitation。综上,全句译为:We hope you will accept our invitation if it is convenient for you.

_____________________________________________________
【答案】To be honest, I prefer country music, which makes me feel relaxed to all the other music styles.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语,时态,主谓一致和定语从句。“老实说”是to be honest,“相比……更喜欢……”是prefer...to...,句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,主语是I,prefer用原形,“乡村音乐”是country music,“相比较其他音乐形式它使我感到放松”用which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰country music,“其他音乐形式”是all the other music styles,“使我感到放松”是make me feel relaxed,句子时态是一般现在时,which指代的先行词country music是不可数名词,make用第三人称单数,因此整句话翻译为“To be honest, I prefer country music, which makes me feel relaxed to all the other music styles”。故答案为To be honest, I prefer country music, which makes me feel relaxed to all the other music styles.
64. It is highly important to bridge the digital divide and make sure that everyone has access to the Internet and knows how to use new technology. (英译汉)
___________________________________________________________________
【答案】消除数字鸿沟、确保每个人都能使用互联网并且知晓如何运用新技术是非常重要的。
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型、宾语从句、动词(短语)和名词短语。固定句型It is highly important to do sth.可译为“做某事是非常重要的”,It为形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式短语;第一个动词短语bridge the digital divide可译为“消除数字鸿沟”,第二个动词短语make sure可译为“确保”;that引导的宾语从句,作make sure的宾语,从句主语everyone可译为“每个人”,第一个动词短语has access to表示“能够进入,能够接近”,可译为“能使用”,其宾语the Internet应译为“互联网”,第二个动词knows可译为“知晓”,其宾语how to use new technology为“特殊疑问词+动词不定式”的结构,可译为“如何运用新技术”。故翻译为:消除数字鸿沟、确保每个人都能使用互联网并且知晓如何运用新技术是非常重要的。

Kung Fu Robot Debuts: Capable of Spinning Kick (功夫机器人亮相:会回旋踢)
After the remarkable appearance of Unitree H1 as “Yang BOT” in the Spring Festival Gala, the G1 robot from Unitree has been attracting a great deal of attention. Nicknamed the Kung Fu Robot because of its amazing talent for performing high-difficulty martial arts (武术) moves, its capabilities extend far beyond that label.
In a video released on February 25, 2025, the G1 robot showcased its skills. It was able to execute powerful punches and flawlessly balanced spinning kicks. After executing a complex spinning kick, it landed firmly on the ground, leaving the audience in awe. This outstanding performance is attributed to its advanced algorithms (算力) and cutting-edge artificial intelligence, which allow it to learn diverse movements by observing humans. It doesn’t just mimic (模仿); it can enhance and adapt those movements as well.
The G1 robot is not only about dazzling martial arts. In industrial settings, it has the potential to take on hazardous and repetitive tasks. For example, it could inspect machinery in factories, reaching areas that are inaccessible to humans. In healthcare, it could assist patients with rehabilitation exercises by carefully guiding them through the proper motions.
Mare Raibert, the founder of Boston Dynamics, has shown interest in the G1 by purchasing it for a major robotics company. He said that the G1’s capabilities attracted him and he wanted to explore its potential further. This indicates that the G1 has gained international recognition.

In the not-so-distant future, the doctors who treat our diseases might be tiny machines that swim through our bodies. Movies like Fantastic Voyage have long played with the idea of making machines the size of a single cell (细胞) — today advances in robotics have brought the idea ever closer to reality. In my lab, I’m just trying to build such intelligent, or smart, microrobots.
Tiny organisms (living things), such as bacteria (细菌), have many intelligent behaviors, and if we can make robots copy some of them, it’s very exciting. The way bacteria travel across their environment is unbelievable. At first, they kind of just aimlessly move around, but when they start sensing food, like an amino acid (氨基酸), they will move gradually in that direction. As a roboticist, you could imagine making tiny robots that can do the same thing.
For example, look at something like E. coli (大肠杆菌). It has receptors on its surface that can sense amino acids around it. It can change how it’s moving. It can rebuild or repair itself. In fact, E. coli does all these so well that some researchers are using it as part of their tiny machines. They are having their microrobots get free rides from it, and letting it do all the sensing for them and direct their movements.
We’re already using smaller and smaller medical tools for operations, like catheters (long thin pipes) that can travel deep into your brain to treat a tumor (肿瘤) or a blood clot. Next, we will put microrobots into the body that can travel into even smaller spaces and treat disease at an early stage. Imagine a device that can treat a blood clot deep in your brain that can’t be reached with existing catheters.
It’s important to note, though, that we may not actually need something as powerful as artificial intelligence (AI) in these cases. You can still build an extremely useful microrobot with a low degree of intelligence. For example: If a microrobot notices a tumor, it can slowly move in that direction, and carry medicine directly to that part. It might only have the intelligence of bacteria but could still be unbelievably effective.
11. Which of the following inspires the author’s work?
A. Bacteria’s ability to stay alive.
B. Movies about tiny machines.
C. Tiny organisms’ behaviors.
D. New advances in robotics.
12. What are some researchers doing according to paragraph 3?
A. Letting E. coli work for their tiny robots.
B. Using microrobots to sense amino acids.
C. Asking robots to direct bacteria’s movements.
D. Changing tiny machines into bacteria’s drivers.
13. What does the author think of existing catheters?
A. They are unlikely to be widely used by doctors.
B. They are unable to get to tinier areas in the body.
C. They will be smaller than microrobots in the future.
D. They can help doctors treat disease at an earlier stage.
14. Why does the author give the example in the last paragraph?
A. To show microrobots can treat tumors very easily.
B. To show AI’s important role in developing tiny robots.
C. To explain the connection between AI and microrobots.
D. To explain limited intelligence is enough for microrobots.
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Artificial Intelligence: The Core of Future Medical Tools
B. Bacteria: Nature’s Tiny Engineers Guiding Robotics
C. The Challenges of Creating Cell-Sized Machines
D. Microrobots: Tiny Healers Inspired by Nature
