B For Liu Dewen from southern Taiwan,the weight of a life is exactly 12 kilograms.On January 3, 2025,this58-year-old from Kaohsiung boarded a flight to Nanjing with two urns(骨灰瓮)，cach weighing 12kg. Over 21 years,Liu has carried the remains of over 300 old soldiers from Taiwan back to mainland China to achieve their dying wish to return home.They were among the soldiers who arrived in Taiwan with the Kuomintang in 1949.For decades,they were unable to return to care for aging parents or reunite with brothers and sisters or wives. Liu,a native of Taiwan's Pingtung county,did not know much about these soldiers until 1997,when he moved to an old housing area for soldiers in Kaohsiung.He became their trusted friend,listening to stories of separation and longing.Although the Taiwan government allowed visits to relatives on the mainland in 1987,many soldiers were unable to make the trip due to age or health. In 2003,an old soldier Wen asked for Liu's help in returning his ashes to Hunan.After Wen's death, Liu honored his promise,delivering the urn to Wen's hometown.Word spread,and more requests followed.Liu began to focus fully on this task,and kept going despite the physical challenges. In later years,Liu began receiving requests from families on the mainland to find the remains of relatives in Taiwan and bring them home.The tasks were often uphill struggles.It was only through strong determination and carefully checking records that some soldiers'remains were finally found. In every case,Liu stays to ensure the ashes are buried properly.Having been to over 20 provinces and regions,with only Xizang autonomous region ()Qinghai province,and Ningxia Hui autonomous region left unvisited,he has hardly taken the time for sightseeing,viewing his work as a serious job."I am here to bring them home,not to tour."he says. 24.Why did many soldiers fail to return to the mainland after 1987? A.They were short of money for the trip. B.The Taiwan government stopped all visits. C.Their families refused to reunite with them.D.Their age or poor fitness made the trip hard. 25.Which words can best describe Liu Dewen according to his actions? A.Demanding and humorous. B.Caring and determined. C.Confident and curious. D.Creative and adventurous. 26.What can be inferred about Liu Dewen's task from the last paragraph? A.His task will end after visiting all provinces. B.His primary goal is to tour China while working. C.He carries out his task with a strong sense of responsibility. D.He has received official awards in every province he visited. 27.What can be the best title for the passage? A.The Last Wish:Liu Dewen's Efforts in Historical Research. B.A Lifetime of Service:Liu Dewen's Journey with over 300 Soldiers'Remains. C.A Warm Heart:Liu Dewen's Work to Support Those in Need. D.Voices of the Past:Liu Dewen's Efforts to Document Soldiers'Stories. 第3页共8页 C Robots can be programmed to move a car and even perform some operations.However,when it comes to picking up something that they have not touched before,such as an egg,they often fail.Now, engineers have invented an artificial fingertip (which breaks that limitation.It enables machines to sense objects as a human fingertip does. Engineers have been working hard to make robots flexible and sensitive.When researchers from a university began designing an artificial fingertip in 2009,they used human skin as a guide.Their first fingertip was about the size of a coke can.By 2018,3D printing made it about the size of an adult's big toe,with the multi-layered structure like human skin. The latest breakthrough is called TacTip.Scientists include artificial nerve networks into the fingertip, which enables a robot to quickly process what it's sensing and act accordingly like a real finger. "A lot of our sense of touch is decided by our skin,"says professor Benjamin,leader of the research team.In our fingertips,nerve endings will deform when the skin touches an object and then sends the signals to the brain about what's happening.Similarly,the nerve networks of TacTip pick up and translate those signals into the fingertip's actions,telling robots to handle objects of all shapes and sizes without programming,according to Benjamin. Some scientists doubt whether TacTip is only just skin-like.The signals from the artificial and human fingertips are not quite the same,as the signals in real skin are more intense.Other scientists think highly of this breakthrough."At least it helps clarify how human touch works and is a necessary step to improve robotic touch,"says professor Smith,a material scientist. 28.Why does the writer mention"an egg"in Paragraph 1? A.To find a solution for engineers. B.To show robots have limitations. C.To tell how robots sense objects. D.To explain why robots often fail. 29.Which of the following plays the most important role in the latest breakthrough? A.3D printing. B.Human skin. C.Artificial nerve networks. D.Multi-layered structure. 30.What does the underlined word"deform"mean in Paragraph 4? A.Develop. B.Decrease. C.Stop working. D.Change shapes. 31.Which is the best title for the text? A.TacTip Changes How Touch Works in Humans B.Robots Have Become More Flexible and Sensitive C.Artificial Fingertip Gives Robots Human-like Touch D.Engineers Have Achieved a Breakthrough in 3D Printing D New evidence suggests that studying Chinese and learning to write Chinese characters may train cognitive abilities,which are not developed by learning other languages and writing systems. A study conducted by researchers from the UK's Wellcome Trust found that people who speak Chinese use both temporal lobes (of their brain to understand the language.This is very different from English-language speakers who use only the left temporal lobe.Speakers of Chinese use intonation (to tell between completely different meanings of particular words,which needs stronger cognitive abilities. 第4页共8页 Besides,the practice of handwriting,especially of Chinese characters,will aid the development of motor skills,learning shapes and letters and will keep the mind sharp.Through the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging,researchers found that neural (activity in children who practiced printing letters by hand was more strengthened than those who just looked at them.Compared with English, mostly written in line and from left to right,Chinese characters have more complex in structure )Their writing involves strokes (in all four directions:up,down,left,and right.The movement of the fingers and hand helps improve neural activity in the working,thinking,and memory of the brain of the learners. Evidence also suggests that there is a connection between the learning of Chinese and math skills. Researchers from New Zealand noticed that Asian children educated in their own languages appear to have gained a greater understanding of math ideas than English-speaking children.During the natural learning process of Chinese,the student is learning basic math ideas.Math skills are included in character writing because it includes skills such as counting,grouping,ordering,and identifying similarities and differences. While the research on the relationship between the learning of Chinese and cognition is not yet fully clear,there is good evidence to suggest that learning Chinese tones and characters represents an added challenge to language learning. 32.What is the text centred on? A.Why Asian children are better at math test. B.Why Chinese is a difficult language to learn. C.How learning Chinese benefits our cognition. D.How Chinese writing differs from English writing. 33.What does the study by UK's Wellcome Trust show? A.English speakers should learn Chinese. B.Chinese has more intonations than English. C.Using Chinese needs a higher-level brain activity. D.Mastering different meanings of Chinese is difficult. 34.Why is learning Chinese beneficial to solving math problems? A.Chinese writing looks like math symbols. B.They share several key cognitive abilities. C.Chinese children naturally do well in math. D.They need quite different cognitive abilities. 35.How is the text mainly developed? A.By comparing former research. B.By offering supporting findings. C.By discussing problems and solutions. D.By listing advantages and disadvantages. 第二节：（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Lifelong Learning is Good for You It is impossible for everyone to have access to additional formal education.Fortunately,many educational resources have made it easier for people to develop a habit of lifelong learning. 36 The following points are reasons why you should stick to lifelong learning. 37 In 2015 some researchers found people with a bachelor's degree can earn much more than those just with a high school degree.In 2014 a report said that 50%of jobs would become 第5页共8页 unnecessary by 2025 due to technological development.New technology changes the nature of work and we need continuous learning and personal growth to adapt ourselves to the changes.
