In 1958, Mr. Huang was appointed as the chief designer for China’s first nuclear submarine project. At that time, China lacked the necessary technology and resources to construct such advanced submarines, and due to international isolation, the team had to rely solely on domestic innovation. Despite these significant challenges, Mr. Huang accepted the mission with determination, driven by the need to safeguard China’s maritime sovereignty (主权) and strengthen its strategic defenses. One of the greatest challenges was developing a compact nuclear reactor capable of powering a submarine. With limited expertise in nuclear physics and engineering, Mr. Huang and his team worked tirelessly to design an efficient and reliable reactor, demonstrating his creativity and leadership skills. After over a decade of hard work, Huang’s team achieved a historic breakthrough in 1970 by launching China’s first nuclear-powered submarine, the Type 091 (Han-class). This meant China became one of the few countries able to build nuclear submarines. Soon after, they developed the Type 092 (Xia-class), China’s first ballistic missile submarine, which boosted the country’s nuclear defense. Huang’s contributions went beyond technology. His leadership inspired a generation of Chinese scientists and engineers to focus on self-reliance and innovation. Despite the heavy pressure and secrecy surrounding his work, Huang stayed committed to the project, often sacrificing personal comforts for its success. In recognition of his achievements, Huang has received many awards, including the Supreme State Science and Technology Award, China’s highest honor for scientific achievements. 4. What was one of the biggest difficulties in the nuclear submarine project? A. Designing the shape of the submarine. B. Training enough sailors for the submarine. C. Finding a suitable place to build the submarine. D. Developing a compact nuclear reactor for the submarine. 5. How did Huang’s team overcome nuclear expertise limits for the reactor? A. By inviting foreign experts to assist. B. By conducting continuous research and innovation with great effort. C. By giving up on some difficult aspects of the design. D. By using old-fashioned but reliable engineering methods. 6. Why was the development of the Type 092 ballistic missile submarine important? A. It was the first submarine ever built in China. B. It was used for scientific research in the ocean. C. It remarkably enhanced China’s nuclear defense strength. D. It was sold to other countries, bringing economic benefits. 7. Which of the following can NOT describe Huang Xuhua? A. Inattentive and compassionate. B. Devoted and patriotic. C. Dedicated and inspiring. D. Passionate and persistent. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了 “中国核潜艇之父” 黄旭华的事迹 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One of the greatest challenges was developing a compact nuclear reactor capable of powering a submarine.(最大的挑战之一是开发一种能够为潜艇提供动力的紧凑型核反应堆)” 可知，在核潜艇项目中最大的困难之一是为潜艇开发紧凑型核反应堆。故选 D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段 “With limited expertise in nuclear physics and engineering, Mr. Huang and his team worked tirelessly to design an efficient and reliable reactor, demonstrating his creativity and leadership skills.(由于在核物理和工程方面的专业知识有限，黄先生和他的团队不知疲倦地努力设计出一个高效且可靠的反应堆，展示了他的创造力和领导才能)” 可知，黄的团队是通过付出巨大努力进行持续的研究和创新来克服在反应堆核专业知识方面的限制的。故选 B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第 三 段“Soon after, they developed the Type 092 (Xia - class), China’s first ballistic missile submarine, which boosted the country’s nuclear defense.(不久之后，他们研制出了 092 型（夏级），中国第一艘弹道导弹潜艇，这增强了国家的核防御能力)” 可知，092 型弹道导弹潜艇的开发之所以重要是因为它显著地增强了中国的核防御力量。故选 C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段 “Despite the heavy pressure and secrecy surrounding his work, Huang stayed committed to the project, often sacrificing personal comforts for its success. His leadership inspired a generation of Chinese scientists and engineers to focus on self - reliance and innovation.(尽管他的工作面临着巨大的压力和保密性，黄仍然致力于这个项目，经常为了项目的成功牺牲个人的舒适。他的领导激励了一代中国科学家和工程师专注于自力更生和创新)” 以及全文对黄旭华事迹的描述可知，他是敬业、爱国、专注且鼓舞人心、充满激情和坚持不懈的。A 选项（粗心大意且富有同情心的），文章中体现不出他粗心大意，该选项不能描述黄旭华；故选 A。 C We’ve all been in a position where our phone runs out of battery, but we don’t have anywhere to charge it. Well, what if the clothing you were wearing could help you out? It’s an option that isn’t as strange as you might think. Now the latest fashion breakthrough is taking “activewear” in an entirely new direction: researchers at Nottingham Trent University have developed a new fabric that can keep small devices juiced. The prototype (样品) includes 1,200 tiny solar panels, each measuring just 5 by 1.5 millimeters. It can generate 400 milliwatts of electrical energy, enough to charge electronic devices. “Until now very few people have considered their clothing products could be used for charging electronic devices,” explains Theodore Hughes-Riley, an associate professor of Electronic Textiles. “The material which we have developed appears and behaves the same as any ordinary fabric, as it can be washed in a machine. Besides, because the tiny solar cells are comprised of silicon (硅), wearers aren’t able to even notice a discrepancy in the fabric’s composition when it is compared to standard clothing.” Potential products include items like outerwear, backpacks and other carrying bags using the material, all of which could allow wearers to keep their devices charged during the day. “Electronic fabrics really have the potential to change people’s relationship with technology, as this prototype has shown how we could do away with charging many devices on the wall,” adds Theodore. Solar power inventions are key to transitioning (转变) human society from fossil fuel technologies, and are coming into a variety of fields. The European Space Agency, for example, plans to experiment with solar panel systems orbiting above Earth. Since there are no real “days” or “nights” in space, potential solar power generation could be as much as 8 or 9 times greater than what’s currently achievable here on Earth’s surface. As powerful as that may one day be for us, it’s encouraging to know even changes like the composition of our clothing can help facilitate the necessary renewable energy shift for our species. 8. Why is the new fabric special? A. It can change color in the sun. B. It can adjust body temperature. C. It can produce electricity from sunlight. D. It is much tougher than standard clothing. 9. What does the underlined word “discrepancy” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Distinction. B. Mismatch. C. Improvement. D. Similarity. 10. How does the invention impact our relationship with technology according to Theodore? A. By making electronic devices much cheaper. B. By reducing the demand for fixed charging equipment. C. By making us more aware of our energy consumption. D. By gradually increasing our dependence on electronic devices. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Solar-Powered Fabric: Charging Devices on the Go. B. Future Fabric Trends: Beyond Traditional Textiles. C. An Inventive Silicon: Recycling for Energy Efficiency. D. Traditional Fabric Technology: Challenges in Development. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11.

It can generate 400 milliwatts of electrical energy, enough to charge electronic devices.(样品包括1200块微型太阳能电池板，每块只有5乘1.5毫米。它可以产生400毫瓦的电能，足以给电子设备充电)”可知，该布料的核心特性是利用太阳能发电。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“The material which we have developed appears and behaves the same as any ordinary fabric, as it can be washed in a machine.(我们开发的这种材料在外观和性能上与任何普通织物一样，因为它可以在机器中洗涤)”以及划线词后文“in the fabric’s composition when it is compared to standard clothing(当与标准服装相比时)”可知，这种材料在外观和性能上与任何普通织物一样，说明穿戴者无法注意到织物成分的差异。故“discrepancy”在此处指“差异”或“区别”。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““Electronic fabrics really have the potential to change people’s relationship with technology, as this prototype has shown how we could do away with charging many devices on the wall,” adds Theodore.(“电子织物确实有潜力改变人们与技术的关系，因为这个原型已经向我们展示了如何摆脱在墙上为许多设备充电，”西奥多补充道)”可知，该发明旨在减少对固定充电设备的依赖。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Now the latest fashion breakthrough is taking “activewear” in an entirely new direction: researchers at Nottingham Trent University have developed a new fabric that can keep small devices juiced.(现在，最新的时尚突破将“运动服”带向了一个全新的方向：诺丁汉特伦特大学的研究人员开发了一种新的面料，可以让小型设备保持活力)”以及文章介绍了诺丁汉特伦特大学研发的一种新型太阳能充电布料及其应用潜力。选项A“太阳能织物：移动充电设备”准确概括主题，可以作为最佳标题。故选A。 D Researchers have observed Florida carpenter ants biting off the injured legs of their companions. These surgeries are the first known example of non-human animals performing amputations(截肢) to improve a fellow animal’s chances of recovering, the researchers say. “Not only can they do this, but they are even able to check the wounds and, depending on the location, adapt the treatment accordingly,” says Erik Frank, an ant researcher. The ants are territorial (有领土意识的) and might sustain injuries while defending their homes. So, the researchers wondered if the species had methods for dealing with infected wounds. They discovered that when a worker ant injured its leg’s upper part, companions would perform amputations. These other ants would then spend about six minutes on average biting at the upper part until it came off. “I find it striking to what extent they take concerted (同心协力的) action in this amputation event,” Frank says. “You can see it presenting the injured leg, and the other ant, for many minutes at a time, is biting it violently and the injured ant doesn’t seem to complain.” The researchers wondered if the amputations could serve to prevent infections. To test this, they wounded some ants’ legs. They isolated(隔离) some, ensuring they would receive no care, performed their own amputations on others and returned a third group to the colony. The experiments showed ants with upper-leg injuries that were isolated died about 60% of the time, while ants that received surgeries, either from the researchers or from fellow ants, almost always lived. The experiments also confirmed the ants didn’t perform amputations for those with lower-leg injuries. But the others would lick (舔舐) the wounds. They had an approximately 75% survival rate, compared to a 15% survival rate for isolated ants with lower-leg injuries. Florida carpenter ants have muscles responsible for blood circulation in their upper legs, so upper-leg injuries could reduce circulation. Lower circulation would, in turn, reduce the spread of infection, buying the ants time to perform amputations. The researchers found amputations for lower-leg wounds only improved survival chances if they were performed immediately. The ants don’t perform blanket amputation on any injury-they only do so when it’d make sense. 12. Why do the ants bite off the injured legs of their companions? A. To save their lives. B. To compete for territory. C. To check their injuries. D. To force them to work. 13. What’s Frank’s opinion about the injured ants receiving an amputation? A. They’re unwilling. B. They know nothing about it. C. They enjoy it so much. D. They’re cooperative. 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning the amputation? A. Different roles ants play in it. B. Actions each ant makes for it. C. The various death rates it causes. D. The experiments about its function. 15. What can be inferred about the ants’ amputations to their companions? A. They often fail to achieve their goals. B. They amputate the lower part of the leg. C. They perform them with strong targeting. D. They often injure themselves while doing so. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。研究人员发现，佛罗里达州木匠蚂蚁对受伤的同伴进行截肢，以提高同伴的生存率。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“These surgeries are the first known example of non-human animals performing amputations (截肢) to improve a fellow animal’s chances of recovering, the researchers say.(研究人员说，这些手术是第一个已知的非人类动物通过截肢来提高同伴动物恢复的机会的例子)”可知，蚂蚁会咬掉同伴受伤的腿是为了挽救对方的生命。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段““I find it striking to what extent they take concerted (同心协力的) action in this amputation event,” Frank says. “You can see it presenting the injured leg, and the other ant, for many minutes at a time, is biting it violently and the injured ant doesn’t seem to complain.”(弗兰克说：“我发现他们在截肢事件中采取一致行动的程度令人震惊。你可以看到它拿出受伤的腿，另一只蚂蚁猛烈地咬了它好几分钟，而受伤的蚂蚁似乎没有抱怨。”)”可知，Frank认为受伤的蚂蚁进行截肢手术是十分配合的。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“They isolated(隔离) some, ensuring they would receive no care, performed their own amputations on others and returned a third group to the colony. The experiments showed ants with upper-leg injuries that were isolated died about 60% of the time, while ants that received surgeries, either from the researchers or from fellow ants, almost always lived. The experiments also confirmed the ants didn’t perform amputations for those with lower-leg injuries. But the others would lick (舔舐) the wounds. They had an approximately 75% survival rate, compared to a 15% survival rate for isolated ants with lower-leg injuries.(他们隔离了一些蚂蚁，确保它们不接受任何治疗，对其他蚂蚁进行了截肢手术，并将第三组蚂蚁送回了隔离区。实验表明，被隔离的上肢受伤的蚂蚁有60%的几率死亡，而无论是从研究人员那里还是从其他蚂蚁那里接受手术的蚂蚁，几乎都能活下来。实验还证实，蚂蚁不会对下肢受伤的蚂蚁进行截肢手术。但其他蚂蚁会舔舐伤口。它们大约有75%的存活率，相比之下，孤立的蚂蚁下肢受伤的存活率为15%)”可知，文章第四段讲述了关于蚂蚁截肢功能性的实验。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The ants don’t perform blanket amputation on any injury-they only do so when it’d make sense.(蚂蚁不会对任何损伤进行“地毯式截肢”——它们只会在有意义的时候这样做)”可知，蚂蚁对受伤的同伴截肢有很强的针对性。故选C。 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。 Anyone with a story to tell can write a book, either for their own enjoyment or to publish for all to see.

There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do. The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely. Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge.

B Huang Xuhua, born in 1926 in Guangdong Province, is known as “the Father of China’s Nuclear Submarines.” His pioneering work in the 1960s and 1970s helped lay the foundation for China’s nuclear submarine (核潜艇) program, which played a key role in the country’s defense strategy during a time of intense global pressure. In 1958, Mr. Huang was appointed as the chief designer for China’s first nuclear submarine project. At that time, China lacked the necessary technology and resources to construct such advanced submarines, and due to international isolation, the team had to rely solely on domestic innovation. Despite these significant challenges, Mr. Huang accepted the mission with determination, driven by the need to safeguard China’s maritime sovereignty (主权) and strengthen its strategic defenses. One of the greatest challenges was developing a compact nuclear reactor capable of powering a submarine. With limited expertise in nuclear physics and engineering, Mr. Huang and his team worked tirelessly to design an efficient and reliable reactor, demonstrating his creativity and leadership skills. After over a decade of hard work, Huang’s team achieved a historic breakthrough in 1970 by launching China’s first nuclear-powered submarine, the Type 091 (Han-class). This meant China became one of the few countries able to build nuclear submarines. Soon after, they developed the Type 092 (Xia-class), China’s first ballistic missile submarine, which boosted the country’s nuclear defense. Huang’s contributions went beyond technology. His leadership inspired a generation of Chinese scientists and engineers to focus on self-reliance and innovation. Despite the heavy pressure and secrecy surrounding his work, Huang stayed committed to the project, often sacrificing personal comforts for its success. In recognition of his achievements, Huang has received many awards, including the Supreme State Science and Technology Award, China’s highest honor for scientific achievements. 4. What was one of the biggest difficulties in the nuclear submarine project? A. Designing the shape of the submarine. B. Training enough sailors for the submarine. C. Finding a suitable place to build the submarine. D. Developing a compact nuclear reactor for the submarine. 5. How did Huang’s team overcome nuclear expertise limits for the reactor? A. By inviting foreign experts to assist. B. By conducting continuous research and innovation with great effort. C. By giving up on some difficult aspects of the design. D By using old-fashioned but reliable engineering methods. 6 Why was the development of the Type 092 ballistic missile submarine important? A. It was the first submarine ever built in China. B. It was used for scientific research in the ocean. C. It remarkably enhanced China’s nuclear defense strength. D. It was sold to other countries, bringing economic benefits. 7. Which of the following can NOT describe Huang Xuhua? A. Inattentive and compassionate. B. Devoted and patriotic. C. Dedicated and inspiring. D. Passionate and persistent. C We’ve all been in a position where our phone runs out of battery, but we don’t have anywhere to charge it. Well, what if the clothing you were wearing could help you out? It’s an option that isn’t as strange as you might think. Now the latest fashion breakthrough is taking “activewear” in an entirely new direction: researchers at Nottingham Trent University have developed a new fabric that can keep small devices juiced. The prototype (样品) includes 1,200 tiny solar panels, each measuring just 5 by 1.5 millimeters. It can generate 400 milliwatts of electrical energy, enough to charge electronic devices. “Until now very few people have considered their clothing products could be used for charging electronic devices,” explains Theodore Hughes-Riley, an associate professor of Electronic Textiles. “The material which we have developed appears and behaves the same as any ordinary fabric, as it can be washed in a machine. Besides, because the tiny solar cells are comprised of silicon (硅), wearers aren’t able to even notice a discrepancy in the fabric’s composition when it is compared to standard clothing.” Potential products include items like outerwear, backpacks and other carrying bags using the material, all of which could allow wearers to keep their devices charged during the day. “Electronic fabrics really have the potential to change people’s relationship with technology, as this prototype has shown how we could do away with charging many devices on the wall,” adds Theodore. Solar power inventions are key to transitioning (转变) human society from fossil fuel technologies, and are coming into a variety of fields. The European Space Agency, for example, plans to experiment with solar panel systems orbiting above Earth. Since there are no real “days” or “nights” in space, potential solar power generation could be as much as 8 or 9 times greater than what’s currently achievable here on Earth’s surface. As powerful as that may one day be for us, it’s encouraging to know even changes like the composition of our clothing can help facilitate the necessary renewable energy shift for our species. 8. Why is the new fabric special? A. It can change color in the sun. B. It can adjust body temperature. C. It can produce electricity from sunlight. D. It is much tougher than standard clothing. 9. What does the underlined word “discrepancy” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Distinction. B. Mismatch. C. Improvement. D. Similarity. 10. How does the invention impact our relationship with technology according to Theodore? A. By making electronic devices much cheaper. B. By reducing the demand for fixed charging equipment. C. By making us more aware of our energy consumption. D. By gradually increasing our dependence on electronic devices. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Solar-Powered Fabric: Charging Devices on the Go. B Future Fabric Trends: Beyond Traditional Textiles. C. An Inventive Silicon: Recycling for Energy Efficiency. D. Traditional Fabric Technology: Challenges in Development. D Researchers have observed Florida carpenter ants biting off the injured legs of their companions. These surgeries are the first known example of non-human animals performing amputations(截肢) to improve a fellow animal’s chances of recovering, the researchers say. “Not only can they do this, but they are even able to check the wounds and, depending on the location, adapt the treatment accordingly,” says Erik Frank, an ant researcher. The ants are territorial (有领土意识的) and might sustain injuries while defending their homes. So, the researchers wondered if the species had methods for dealing with infected wounds. They discovered that when a worker ant injured its leg’s upper part, companions would perform amputations. These other ants would then spend about six minutes on average biting at the upper part until it came off. “I find it striking to what extent they take concerted (同心协力) action in this amputation event,” Frank says. “You can see it presenting the injured leg, and the other ant, for many minutes at a time, is biting it violently and the injured ant doesn’t seem to complain.” The researchers wondered if the amputations could serve to prevent infections. To test this, they wounded some ants’ legs. They isolated(隔离) some, ensuring they would receive no care, performed their own amputations on others and returned a third group to the colony. The experiments showed ants with upper-leg injuries that were isolated died about 60% of the time, while ants that received surgeries, either from the researchers or from fellow ants, almost always lived. The experiments also confirmed the ants didn’t perform amputations for those with lower-leg injuries. But the others would lick (舔舐) the wounds. They had an approximately 75% survival rate, compared to a 15% survival rate for isolated ants with lower-leg injuries. Florida carpenter ants have muscles responsible for blood circulation in their upper legs, so upper-leg injuries could reduce circulation. Lower circulation would, in turn, reduce the spread of infection, buying the ants time to perform amputations. The researchers found amputations for lower-leg wounds only improved survival chances if they were performed immediately. The ants don’t perform blanket amputation on any injury-they only do so when it’d make sense. 12. Why do the ants bite off the injured legs of their companions? A. To save their lives. B. To compete for territory. C. To check their injuries. D. To force them to work. 13. What’s Frank’s opinion about the injured ants receiving an amputation? A. They’re unwilling. B. They know nothing about it. C. They enjoy it so much. D. They’re cooperative. 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning the amputation? A. Different roles ants play in it. B. Actions each ant makes for it. C. The various death rates it causes. D. The experiments about its function. 15. What can be inferred about the ants’ amputations to their companions? A. They often fail to achieve their goals. B. They amputate the lower part of the leg. C. They perform them with strong targeting. D. They often injure themselves while doing so. 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。 Anyone with a story to tell can write a book, either for their own enjoyment or to publish for all to see.

How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do. The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely. Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well. 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。 As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
