During the final term of my theater and performance degree at the University of Leeds, I found myself standing outside Berkeley Court Care Home with three classmates and an underdeveloped idea. We planned to hold some interactive workshops with the residents to try to inspire memory and social engagement.
I remember being nervous, aware that we were working with people who were weak and helpless and that I had no idea what I was doing. Some residents were almost nonverbal, some were clearly not with it, some were happy to see us, and some were not.
I had decided to play music at the end of the session. We went with the song My Way because the residents, all roughly 80 years old, would have been listening to the hit song in their late 20s.
Once I pressed play, it was as if a spell had been cast. Nearly everyone in the room stood up and sang what seemed like every word. I was so profoundly moved. Many of them were communicating much better. It looked and felt like magic.
Off I went to drama school, but I thought about that experience almost daily. So when we were given the opportunity to write a script for a theater festival, I created a love story about music and dementia (痴呆), lasting 50 years of a couple’s life.
And now, 10 years later, the show I made is running again in London thanks to the Music for Dementia campaign.
When my grandma was diagnosed with dementia toward the end of her life, I didn’t struggle to communicate with her in the way that other people in their 20s might have done. I felt more able to tune into what she needed and better equipped to see her underneath the disease.
I now know that music-based treatment reduce the need for antipsychotic medication (抗精神病药物) in more than 60 percent of people living with dementia. I don’t know what my My Way would be, but I certainly think we should all strive to find our song and do our best to stay connected to the people we share it with.
4. How did the author feel when they initially started the interactive workshops at the care home?
A. Excited and confident. B. Worried and confused.
C. Curious and patient. D. Calm and relaxed.
5. Why did the author choose to play the song My Way?
A. It was a hit song at that time. B. It was the residents’ personal favorite.
C. It was a well-known song for dementia patients. D. It was popular among the residents’ generation.
6. How did the author’s experience at the care home influence him?
A. He decided to make music his career. B. He shifted his life focus to elderly care.
C. He became more understanding. D. He started the Music for Dementia campaign
7. What message does the author try to convey in the last paragraph?

“A moth (飞蛾) to a flame” is often used to indicate an inescapable attraction, yet it is a strange example of animal behaviour that continues to confuse people today. Scientists have raised a number of theories over the years to explain why. One holds that insects flying at night are following their nature to fly towards the brightest spot in their field of vision, which they mistake for the sky. Another suggests that insects are trying to warm themselves with the heat produced by the light. The most popular theory, though, is that insects are confusing lights with the moon or other celestial bodies (天体) that they normally use to navigate.
To find out the real reason, the team carried out a first set of experiments in an insect flight area. The researchers used eight high-speed infrared (红外线的) cameras equipped with motion capture technologies to track 30 insects from three moth and two dragonfly species. They also flew lab-raised insects from six different insect orders (生物分类的目) that were too small for motion-capture technology, including fruit flies and honeybees, to make sure different insects all showed similar responses to light. Working with co-author Pablo Allen of the Council on International Educational Exchange in Monteverde, Costa Rica, the researchers put heavy cameras, lights and tripods in two field sites to gather behavioral data from insects in the wild.
The team was able to confirm that insects were not beelining to the light but rather circling it as they tilted (倾斜) in an attempt to turn their backs towards it. This behavior, known as a “dorsal light response”, normally helps insects to remain on an unchanging path of flight that is properly lined to the horizon.
Artificial light that arrives from a point source causes them to fly in unpredictable patterns as they try to turn their backs to what they are mistaking for the sky.
Now research might have finally solved the mystery mentioned first: artificial light confuses insects’ ability to turn themselves to the horizon, confusing their sense of what is up and down and causing them to fly in circles.
8. Which theory about “a moth to a flame” is accepted by most people?
A. They follow their nature to fly. B. They are blind to artificial light.
C. They mistake artificial light for celestial bodies. D. They are attracted by the warmth of artificial light.
9. What’s the author’s purpose in using the figures in Paragraph 2?
A To show the study is all-inclusive. B. To introduce the purpose of the study.
C. To estimate the cost of the research D. To stress the challenge faced by the researchers.
10. What benefit can insects get from “dorsal light response”?
A. They can fly beyond the horizon. B. They can follow a steady flight path.
C. They can turn their backs towards lights. D. They can circle the light source upside down.
11. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Experiments in an insect flight area are conducted.
B. Insects’ strange chase for artificial light is accounted for.
C. Theories on insects’ chase for artificial light vary.
D. Insects’ dorsal light response is analyzed.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. B

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The most popular theory, though, is that insects are confusing lights with the moon or other celestial bodies (天体) that they normally use to navigate. (然而,最受欢迎的理论是昆虫将灯光误认为是月亮或其他通常用于导航的天体)”可知,大多数人接受的理论是昆虫将人工光源误认为天体。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The researchers used eight high-speed infrared (红外线的) cameras equipped with motion capture technologies to track 30 insects from three moth and two dragonfly species. They also flew lab-raised insects from six different insect orders (生物分类的目) that were too small for motion-capture technology, including fruit flies and honeybees, to make sure different insects all showed similar responses to light. (研究人员使用了八台配备动作捕捉技术的高速红外摄像机,追踪来自三种飞蛾和两种蜻蜓的30只昆虫。他们还测试了六种不同昆虫目(生物分类中的“目”)中实验室饲养的昆虫,这些昆虫体型太小,无法使用动作捕捉技术,包括果蝇和蜜蜂,以确保不同种类的昆虫对光的反应相似。)”可知,第二段中列出的具体数据(如8台高速红外摄像机、30只昆虫、6个不同目数的实验昆虫等),旨在表明研究覆盖了多种昆虫种类和广泛的实验范围,从而体现研究的全面性。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This behavior, known as a “dorsal light response”, normally helps insects to remain on an unchanging path of flight that is properly lined to the horizon. (这种被称为“背光反应”的行为通常帮助昆虫保持一条与地平线对齐的稳定飞行路径)”可知,通常帮助昆虫保持一条稳定的飞行路径,并使其与地平线对齐,由此可知,“背光反应”使昆虫能够保持稳定的飞行路径。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是尾段“Now research might have finally solved the mystery mentioned first: artificial light confuses insects’ ability to turn themselves to the horizon, confusing their sense of what is up and down and causing them to fly in circles.(如今,研究或许终于解开了最初提到谜团:人造光干扰了昆虫调整自身朝向地平线的能力,混淆了它们对上下方向的感知,导致它们绕圈飞行。)”可知,文章主要讨论了昆虫为何追逐人工光源的现象,并通过实验解释了其背后的科学原理。故选B项。

Researchers have developed a robotic sensor that combines artificial intelligence techniques to read Braille (盲文) at speeds roughly double that of most human readers. The research team, from the University of Cambridge, used machine learning algorithms (算法) to teach a robotic sensor to quickly slide over lines of Braille text.
The robotic sensor the researchers used has a camera in its “fingertip”, and reads by using a combination of the information from the camera and the sensors. “This is a hard problem for roboticists as there’s a lot of image processing that needs to be done to remove motion blur (模糊) which is time-and energy-consuming,” said Parth Potdar from Cambridge’s Department of Engineering.
“There are existing robotic Braille readers, but they only read one letter at a time, which is not how humans read,” said Potdar. “Existing robotic Braille readers work in a relatively static way: they touch one letter pattern, read it, pull up from the surface, move over, lower onto the next letter pattern, and so on. We want something that’s more realistic and far more efficient.”
The team developed machine learning algorithms so the robotic reader would be able to “deblur” the images before the sensor attempted to recognise the letters. They trained the algorithms on a set of sharp images of Braille with fake blur applied. After the algorithms had learned to deblur the letters, they used a computer vision model to detect and classify each character.
Once the algorithms were incorporated, the researchers tested their reader by sliding it quickly along rows of Braille characters. The robotic Braille reader could read 315 words per minute with 87%accuracy, which is twice as fast and about as accurate as a human Braille reader.
“Braille reading speed is a great way to measure the dynamic performance of tactile (能触知的) sensing systems, so our findings could be applicable beyond Braille, for applications like detecting surface textures or slippage in robotic manipulation,” said Potdar.
In the future, the researchers are hoping to scale the technology to the size of a humanoid hand.
12. What does the underlined word “static” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Lazy. B. Fast. C. Clever. D. Still
13. Why is the newly developed robotic sensor faster at reading Braille?
A. It slides quickly along rows of Braille characters. B. It has a robotic sensors on the fingertip.
C. It uses machine learning algorithms to deblur images. D. It relies only on its camera in the image processing.
14. What did Potdar want to express in Paragraph 6?
A. The promising future of their research results. B. The good performance of the robot sensor.
C. The factors in making the tactile sensing systems. D. The way to ensure the accuracy of the technology.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Technology to be scaled to the size of a humanoid hand.
B. Robots trained to read Braille at twice the speed of humans.
C. A great way to measure the performance of sensing systems.
D. Machine learning algorithms expected to change Braille writing.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款结合人工智能技术,阅读盲文的速度大约是人类读者两倍的机器人传感器。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Existing robotic Braille readers work in a relatively static way: they touch one letter pattern, read it, pull up from the surface, move over, lower onto the next letter pattern, and so on.(现有的盲文机器人阅读器的工作方式相对static:它们触摸一个字母图案,读取它,从表面拉起,移动,降低到下一个字母图案,等等。)”可知,现有的盲文机器人阅读器在读取时,是先触摸一个字母图案,读取,然后从表面拉起,移动到下一个字母图案,再读取,由此可知,现有的盲文机器人阅读器在读取时是静态的,由此可推测出,划线词static意为“静态的”。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The team developed machine learning algorithms so the robotic reader would be able to “deblur” the images before the sensor attempted to recognise the letters.(该团队开发了机器学习算法,这样机器人阅读器就能够在传感器尝试识别字母之前对图像进行去模糊处理。)”和第五段“Once the algorithms were incorporated, the researchers tested their reader by sliding it quickly along rows of Braille characters. The robotic Braille reader could read 315 words per minute with 87% accuracy, which is twice as fast and about as accurate as a human Braille reader.(一旦算法被纳入,研究人员通过在盲文字符行上快速滑动来测试他们的阅读器。这款盲文机器人阅读器每分钟可以阅读315个单词,准确率达到87%,阅读速度是人类盲文阅读器的两倍,准确率也大致相同。)”可知,新开发的机器人传感器能更快地阅读盲文是因为它使用机器学习算法来去除图像模糊。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“Braille reading speed is a great way to measure the dynamic performance of tactile (能触知的) sensing systems, so our findings could be applicable beyond Braille, for applications like detecting surface textures or slippage in robotic manipulation.(盲文阅读速度是衡量触觉感知系统动态性能的一个很好的方法,所以我们的发现可能不仅适用于盲文,还可以应用于检测机器人操作中的表面纹理或滑动。)”可知,Potdar在第六段中想要表达他们的研究成果前景广阔。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“Researchers have developed a robotic sensor that combines artificial intelligence techniques to read Braille (盲文) at speeds roughly double that of most human readers.(研究人员开发了一种机器人传感器,结合人工智能技术,阅读盲文的速度大约是人类读者的两倍。)”可知,文章主要介绍了一款结合人工智能技术,阅读盲文的速度大约是人类读者两倍的机器人传感器,所以B项“机器人被训练以两倍于人类的速度阅读盲文”适合做文章标题。故选B项。

Practice mindfulness
HFA often comes from a stream of “what if” thoughts: what if I can’t get through this presentation? What if I don’t pass this test? What if they don’t like me? What if I’ve made a huge mistake? These looping questions can feel overwhelming. Practice regular mindfulness exercises to break this cycle. ____17____
____18____
Most of us know we should set them, yet putting them into practice can be easier said than done. People with HFA often struggle to say “No”, leading to overcommitment and stress. Take time to understand your needs. Learning to prioritize tasks and setting clear limits can prevent burnout and help maintain a healthier balance.
Challenge perfectionism
____19____ But this is based on your own high standards, the goalposts are always moving. Remind yourself that mistakes are part of growth, that every small step counts, and that your worth is not dependent on a flawless performance. Instead of striving for perfection, aim for progress.
Schedule relaxation time
For someone with HFA, relaxation might feel like a waste of time when you could be striving toward productivity and perfection. But treat relaxation as essential, just as you would schedule work or personal commitments. ____20____ Engaging in enjoyable activities can help shift your focus away from stressors, foster a sense of calm, and boost overall well-being.
A. Set realistic boundaries.
B. Practice agreed boundaries.
C. Set aside time for genuine relaxation and hobbies.
D. Boundaries are about saying “yes” to yourself and your needs.

考查定语从句。句意:手握黑白相间布蛇,7岁的陈凯明已经成为2025年中央电视台春节联欢晚会的社交媒体明星,这场备受期待的年度盛会于中国农历除夕播出。此处为关系词引导的定语从句,先行词event在从句中作主语,可用which或that引导。故填which/that。
【37题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:英歌舞常被称为“中国战舞”,是一种起源于中国南方广东省的民间艺术形式,融合了戏曲、舞蹈和武术元素。此处为非谓语动词短语作后置定语,refer to 与The Yingge dance之间为被动关系,所以此处使用过去分词形式。故填referred。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:英歌舞常被称为“中国战舞”,是一种起源于中国南方广东省的民间艺术形式,融合了戏曲、舞蹈和武术元素。form意为“形式”为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,所以此处使用冠词,结合句意,此处表示“一种民间艺术形式”,为泛指,且fork的首个音素为辅音,需用不定冠词a。故填a。
【39题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:英歌舞常被称为“中国战舞”,是一种起源于中国南方广东省的民间艺术形式,融合了戏曲、舞蹈和武术元素。此处为非谓语动词作状语,combine与The Yingge dance之间为主动关系,所以此处使用现在分词形式。故填combining。
【40题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:据说英歌舞表演受到了中国四大名著之一《水浒传》故事的启发。be said to do sth.为固定搭配,表示“据说做某事”;inspire与performances之间为被动关系,所以此处使用动词不定式的被动形式。故填to be inspired。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:在过去的两年里,英歌舞在社交媒体上越来越受欢迎,充满活力的表演视频吸引了数百万次观看。根据Over the past two years可知,此处应用现在完成时,且主语Yingge dance为第三人称单数,所以谓语动词为has gained。故填has gained。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在过去的两年里,英歌舞在社交媒体上越来越受欢迎,充满活力的表演视频吸引了数百万次观看。此处为形容词作定语修饰名词performances,energy的形容词energetic表示“充满活力的”符合句意。故填energetic。
【43题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:在重要节日期间,英歌鼓声回荡在城市和乡村,营造出热闹的氛围。此处为固定搭配contribute to,表示“有助于;促成”符合句意,所以此处使用介词to。故填to。
【44题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:如今,英歌舞已经深深融入潮汕地区人们的生活,许多城镇和街道都拥有自己的英歌队。此处为代词作宾语,主语和宾语指的是同一事物,所以需用反身代词itself,强调“英歌舞自身”。故填itself。
【45题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:“英歌舞蹈依赖于年轻一代更广泛的参与,”广东韩山师范学院前校长林伦伦说道。结合句意以及下文的“from younger generations”可知,此处表示的是有更多年轻人的参与,所以此处需用形容词比较级wider,表示“更广泛的”。故填wider。

47. 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。续写的词数应为150左右。
One cold winter's day, three boys were wandering the street. The oldest was Henry, who always was in trouble himself, and tried to get others into trouble. Another boy, James, was also a naughty one. Both of the two often got scoldings from their fathers for making trouble. The youngest, whose name was George, was a very good boy. He wished to do right, but was very much wanting in courage.
As they were passing by a schoolhouse, Henry suddenly came up with an idea. “How fun it would be to throw a snowball at the schoolroom door and make the teacher and the students all jump!” he said excitedly.
“Ha! You would jump, if you should do that. If the teacher did not catch you and punish you, he would tell your father, and you would get a scolding then. 'That would make you jump higher than the students, I think. “James replied.
“Why, we would get off already before the teacher could come to the door so that he could not tell who we are.” Henry said as his eyes fell on George, who was looking at them in silence. Henry smiled cunningly(狡猾的) and continued, " Here is a snowball just as hard as ice, and George would throw it at the door as fast as he could.”
“Give it to him and see. I guess he would not dare to throw it.” James said. “James, do you think George is a coward(胆小鬼)? You do not know him as well as I do!” Henry said with eyebrows uplifted, staring at George provocatively(挑衅地). Then he held the snowball and lifted it up. “George, take the snowball, and show James that you are not such a coward as he thinks you are.” After saying this, he passed the snowball to George.
Para 1:
Looking at the snowball in his hand, George hesitated.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2:
The two looked at George, astonished.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para 1:
Looking at the snowball in his hand, George hesitated. There were two Georges battling against each other within. One urged him to throw the snowball; otherwise he would be called to a coward and laughed at. The other was trying to prevent him and tell him such behavior was truly ridiculous and totally wrong. When the other two boys stared at him inquiringly and encouragingly, George squared his shoulders and exclaimed firmly, “I quit!”
Para 2:
The two looked at George, astonished. This was out of their expectation. “There! I told you he dare not throw it!” James said to Henry. George could hear the obvious disappointment in his voice. Gathering all his courage, George said, “I will never be so foolish to throw that snowball and no one can have me do what I think is wrong!” This would be the real courage. Henry and James realized, at once, that it would do no good to laugh at a boy who had so bold a heart and so fearless a spirit.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了两个调皮的男孩James和Henry怂恿一个很想证明自己不是胆小鬼的孩子George朝教室的门扔雪球。George最后用拒绝来证明自己是一个有勇气的孩子。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“看着自己手里的雪球,George犹豫了”可知,第一段可描写George内心的纠结,不扔会被嘲笑,大家会觉得他是一个胆小鬼,扔的话可能会受到老师和爸爸的责备。
②由第二段首句内容“这两个男孩子吃惊地看着George”可知,第二段可描写George很可能做了让人意外的选择,所以才会让James和Henry感到出乎意料。
2.续写线索:George犹豫——George内心挣扎——George放弃扔雪球——两个男孩吃惊——George表明自己的勇气——James和Henry感到出乎意料
3.词汇激活

尝试:try to/ attempt to
凝视:stare at/ gaze

During the final term of my theater and performance degree at the University of Leeds, I found myself standing outside Berkeley Court Care Home with three classmates and an underdeveloped idea. We planned to hold some interactive workshops with the residents to try to inspire memory and social engagement.
I remember being nervous, aware that we were working with people who were weak and helpless and that I had no idea what I was doing. Some residents were almost nonverbal, some were clearly not with it, some were happy to see us, and some were not.
I had decided to play music at the end of the session. We went with the song My Way because the residents, all roughly 80 years old, would have been listening to the hit song in their late 20s.
Once I pressed play, it was as if a spell had been cast. Nearly everyone in the room stood up and sang what seemed like every word. I was so profoundly moved. Many of them were communicating much better. It looked and felt like magic.
Off I went to drama school, but I thought about that experience almost daily. So when we were given the opportunity to write a script for a theater festival, I created a love story about music and dementia (痴呆), lasting 50 years of a couple’s life.
And now, 10 years later, the show I made is running again in London thanks to the Music for Dementia campaign.
When my grandma was diagnosed with dementia toward the end of her life, I didn’t struggle to communicate with her in the way that other people in their 20s might have done. I felt more able to tune into what she needed and better equipped to see her underneath the disease.
I now know that music-based treatment reduce the need for antipsychotic medication (抗精神病药物) in more than 60 percent of people living with dementia. I don’t know what my My Way would be, but I certainly think we should all strive to find our song and do our best to stay connected to the people we share it with.
4. How did the author feel when they initially started the interactive workshops at the care home?
A. Excited and confident. B. Worried and confused.
C. Curious and patient. D. Calm and relaxed.
5. Why did the author choose to play the song My Way?
A. It was a hit song at that time. B. It was the residents’ personal favorite.
C. It was a well-known song for dementia patients. D. It was popular among the residents’ generation.
6. How did the author’s experience at the care home influence him?
A. He decided to make music his career. B. He shifted his life focus to elderly care.
C. He became more understanding. D. He started the Music for Dementia campaign
7. What message does the author try to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Music offers the perfect cure for dementia. B. Music can bridge generational gaps.
C. Connecting through music is valuable. D. We all have our unique way of connecting.

“A moth (飞蛾) to a flame” is often used to indicate an inescapable attraction, yet it is a strange example of animal behaviour that continues to confuse people today. Scientists have raised a number of theories over the years to explain why. One holds that insects flying at night are following their nature to fly towards the brightest spot in their field of vision, which they mistake for the sky. Another suggests that insects are trying to warm themselves with the heat produced by the light. The most popular theory, though, is that insects are confusing lights with the moon or other celestial bodies (天体) that they normally use to navigate.
To find out the real reason, the team carried out a first set of experiments in an insect flight area. The researchers used eight high-speed infrared (红外线的) cameras equipped with motion capture technologies to track 30 insects from three moth and two dragonfly species. They also flew lab-raised insects from six different insect orders (生物分类的目) that were too small for motion-capture technology, including fruit flies and honeybees, to make sure different insects all showed similar responses to light. Working with co-author Pablo Allen of the Council on International Educational Exchange in Monteverde, Costa Rica, the researchers put heavy cameras, lights and tripods in two field sites to gather behavioral data from insects in the wild.
The team was able to confirm that insects were not beelining to the light but rather circling it as they tilted (倾斜) in an attempt to turn their backs towards it. This behavior, known as a “dorsal light response”, normally helps insects to remain on an unchanging path of flight that is properly lined to the horizon.
Artificial light that arrives from a point source causes them to fly in unpredictable patterns as they try to turn their backs to what they are mistaking for the sky.
Now research might have finally solved the mystery mentioned first: artificial light confuses insects’ ability to turn themselves to the horizon, confusing their sense of what is up and down and causing them to fly in circles.

Researchers have developed a robotic sensor that combines artificial intelligence techniques to read Braille (盲文) at speeds roughly double that of most human readers. The research team, from the University of Cambridge, used machine learning algorithms (算法) to teach a robotic sensor to quickly slide over lines of Braille text.
The robotic sensor the researchers used has a camera in its “fingertip”, and reads by using a combination of the information from the camera and the sensors. “This is a hard problem for roboticists as there’s a lot of image processing that needs to be done to remove motion blur (模糊) which is time-and energy-consuming,” said Parth Potdar from Cambridge’s Department of Engineering.
“There are existing robotic Braille readers, but they only read one letter at a time, which is not how humans read,” said Potdar. “Existing robotic Braille readers work in a relatively static way: they touch one letter pattern, read it, pull up from the surface, move over, lower onto the next letter pattern, and so on. We want something that’s more realistic and far more efficient.”
The team developed machine learning algorithms so the robotic reader would be able to “deblur” the images before the sensor attempted to recognise the letters. They trained the algorithms on a set of sharp images of Braille with fake blur applied. After the algorithms had learned to deblur the letters, they used a computer vision model to detect and classify each character.
Once the algorithms were incorporated, the researchers tested their reader by sliding it quickly along rows of Braille characters. The robotic Braille reader could read 315 words per minute with 87%accuracy, which is twice as fast and about as accurate as a human Braille reader.
“Braille reading speed is a great way to measure the dynamic performance of tactile (能触知的) sensing systems, so our findings could be applicable beyond Braille, for applications like detecting surface textures or slippage in robotic manipulation,” said Potdar.
In the future, the researchers are hoping to scale the technology to the size of a humanoid hand.
12. What does the underlined word “static” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Lazy. B. Fast. C. Clever. D. Still
13. Why is the newly developed robotic sensor faster at reading Braille?
A It slides quickly along rows of Braille characters. B. It has a robotic sensors on the fingertip.
C. It uses machine learning algorithms to deblur images. D. It relies only on its camera in the image processing.
14. What did Potdar want to express in Paragraph 6?
A. The promising future of their research results. B. The good performance of the robot sensor.
C. The factors in making the tactile sensing systems. D. The way to ensure the accuracy of the technology.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Technology to be scaled to the size of a humanoid hand.
B. Robots trained to read Braille at twice the speed of humans.
C. A great way to measure the performance of sensing systems.
D. Machine learning algorithms expected to change Braille writing.

High-functioning Anxiety (HFA) is a silent challenge, where individuals may look calm and collected on the surface, but experience a whirlwind of stress and worry underneath. Although HFA may be less visible, it is very real. ____16____ So, how can we put that into practice?
Practice mindfulness
HFA often comes from a stream of “what if” thoughts: what if I can’t get through this presentation? What if I don’t pass this test? What if they don’t like me? What if I’ve made a huge mistake? These looping questions can feel overwhelming Practice regular mindfulness exercises to break this cycle. ____17____
____18____
Most of us know we should set them, yet putting them into practice can be easier said than done. People with HFA often struggle to say “No”, leading to overcommitment and stress. Take time to understand your needs. Learning to prioritize tasks and setting clear limits can prevent burnout and help maintain a healthier balance.
Challenge perfectionism
____19____ But this is based on your own high standards, the goalposts are always moving. Remind yourself that mistakes are part of growth, that every small step counts, and that your worth is not dependent on a flawless performance. Instead of striving for perfection, aim for progress.
Schedule relaxation time
For someone with HFA, relaxation might feel like a waste of time when you could be striving toward productivity and perfection. But treat relaxation as essential, just as you would schedule work or personal commitments. ____20____ Engaging in enjoyable activities can help shift your focus away from stressors, foster a sense of calm, and boost overall well-being.
A. Set realistic boundaries.
B. Practice agreed boundaries.
C. Set aside time for genuine relaxation and hobbies.
D. Boundaries are about saying “yes” to yourself and your needs.
E. With strategies and support, it’s possible to manage these challenges.
F. Techniques such as deep breathing can help shift your focus to the present moment.
G. We often believe that if we do everything flawlessly, we’ll finally feel secure, or achieve our goals.

One cold winter's day, three boys were wandering the street. The oldest was Henry, who always was in trouble himself, and tried to get others into trouble. Another boy, James, was also a naughty one. Both of the two often got scoldings from their fathers for making trouble. The youngest, whose name was George, was a very good boy. He wished to do right, but was very much wanting in courage.
As they were passing by a schoolhouse, Henry suddenly came up with an idea. “How fun it would be to throw a snowball at the schoolroom door and make the teacher and the students all jump!” he said excitedly.
“Ha! You would jump, if you should do that. If the teacher did not catch you and punish you, he would tell your father, and you would get a scolding then. 'That would make you jump higher than the students, I think. “James replied.
“Why, we would get off already before the teacher could come to the door so that he could not tell who we are.” Henry said as his eyes fell on George, who was looking at them in silence. Henry smiled cunningly(狡猾的) and continued, " Here is a snowball just as hard as ice, and George would throw it at the door as fast as he could.”
“Give it to him and see. I guess he would not dare to throw it.” James said. “James, do you think George is a coward(胆小鬼)? You do not know him as well as I do!” Henry said with eyebrows uplifted, staring at George provocatively(挑衅地). Then he held the snowball and lifted it up. “George, take the snowball, and show James that you are not such a coward as he thinks you are.” After saying this, he passed the snowball to George.
Para 1:
Looking at the snowball in his hand, George hesitated.
