My parents always supported my interest, buying me art supplies and finding me a private teacher when I was eight, who exposed me to professional art life and introduced me to oil painting when I was ten. As I grew older, I studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art, deepening my exposure to painting from life. At the Maryland Institute College of Art, I majored in illustration, even though I had never worked as an illustrator. My artistic style, “Loose Realism”, developed organically over time. After graduating, I encountered a “quarter-life crisis”. At that time, the traditional gallery system was still dominant and social media hadn’t yet emerged. I’d received training at school, but I didn’t know how to translate that into a professional job and even whether to choose it in the real world. So, I got a series of random jobs, moved to Oregon, and realized I hadn’t painted within seven years. I attempted to create some occasionally during these years, but failed, as I believed that excellent art creations had to be big and figurative. I’d prepared large canvases (画布) but they became too precious to paint on, keeping me away from painting for too long. Actually, that was not the case. Then, I discovered the daily painting movement and started with still life, realizing its possibilities. I started teaching in 2013, after local shows led people to ask why I didn’t teach. My students introduced me to fresh viewpoints and challenged me to think critically about every color choice. Their attitudes and problems transformed my approach to painting, shifting it from a mechanical routine to a more mindful and intentional way. Teaching, both in person and online, has been satisfying. If I had changed my art journey, I would have focused earlier on what brought me joy. 4. How did the private teacher influence the author? A. By requiring her to create artworks. B. By enabling her to enter an art school. C. By leading her to a specialized art path. D. By motivating her to become a teacher. 5. What problem did the author run into after graduation? A. She was disappointed at the job. B. She was unused to social media. C. She was regretful about learning art. D. She was unsure of the future career. 6. Why did the author stop painting for seven years? A. She tried to avoid failure. B. She lost interest in painting. C. She misunderstood great art. D. She had much work to handle. 7. What did the students inspire the author to do? A. Focus on joyful things. B. Teaching in various ways. C. Stick to painting every day. D. Turn to thoughtful practice. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为记叙文，主要讲述了一位艺术家的成长经历，包括童年艺术启蒙、求学过程、职业迷茫期、七年停画的原因，以及通过教学重新发现绘画意义的过程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“My parents always supported my interest, buying me art supplies and finding me a private teacher when I was eight, who exposed me to professional art life and introduced me to oil painting when I was ten.(我的父母一直支持我的兴趣爱好，为我购买绘画用品，并在我八岁时为我找到了一位私人教师。这位老师让我接触到了专业的艺术领域，并在我十岁时教我油画)”可知，这位私人教师引导作者走上专门的艺术道路。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“After graduating, I encountered a “quarter-life crisis”. At that time, the traditional gallery system was still dominant and social media hadn’t yet emerged. I’d received training at school, but I didn’t know how to translate that into a professional job and even whether to choose it in the real world. (毕业后，我遭遇了“四十岁危机”。当时，传统的画廊体系仍占主导地位，而社交媒体也尚未出现。我在学校接受过相关培训，但我不知道如何将这些知识应用到实际工作中，甚至也不清楚在现实世界中是否应该选择从事这一职业)”可知，作者毕业后对未来的职业感到不确定。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I attempted to create some occasionally during these years, but failed, as I believed that excellent art creations had to be big and figurative. I’d prepared large canvases (画布) but they became too precious to paint on, keeping me away from painting for too long. Actually, that was not the case.(在这些年里，我曾试图创作一些作品，但都以失败告终。因为我认为杰出的艺术创作必须宏大且具象。我准备了大尺寸的画布，但它们变得太过珍贵，以至于我都不敢在上面作画了，这让我很长时间都无法进行创作。实际上，并非如此)”可知，作者停止作画长达七年是因为她误解了伟大的艺术。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Their attitudes and problems transformed my approach to painting, shifting it from a mechanical routine to a more mindful and intentional way.(他们的态度和问题改变了我对绘画的处理方式，使我的创作从机械的常规流程转变为更具深意和目的性的过程)”可知，学生们促使作者开始进行深入思考并付诸实践。故选D。 C “Turn off, tune out and drop in.” That’s the message to customers at a Dutch digital detox (戒瘾) cafe who are paying for the privilege of leaving their phones at the door. The Offline Club, which began life in Amsterdam, offers an oasis (乐土) of calm and pause from the constant digital busyness of life lived through the black glass of a smartphone. It creates moments of quiet reflection, and encourages conversations with strangers instead of endless keyboard arguments hammered out 280 characters at a time. With board games, a piano and books on hand, the idea is to swap recharging your device for refilling your soul, even for just a few hours. Aided by word spreading on social media, the club has already branched out to multiple cities across the Netherlands, and is now ready for an international launch. “People love it: they tell us this is exactly what they’ve been waiting for; they can’t believe it didn’t exist already,” says co-founder Ilya Kneppelhout. “A girl called Belinda who struggled with stress and anxiety told us she hadn’t felt so at peace with herself in a year and a half.” Customers switch between time to themselves and time to connect. “People don’t just pay to get rid of their phones-they’re also paying to meet others,” says Kneppelhout. “We live in quite an isolated world where we’re more connected online, but in the physical world, it’s hard to meet people.” He’s already had a group of digital downtime followers in the UK, where Georgina Sturmer, who has worked with clients experiencing over-dependence on phones, points out another benefit of a switched-off society. “We are constantly at risk of having every word or image captured and shared,” she says. “This sense of being endlessly photographed is something that has come with these devices being in our lives so much. Wouldn’t it be great to feel safe knowing it doesn’t matter if we’re having a bad hair day, or don’t really like our outfit?” 8. What can we know about the Dutch digital detox cafe? A. It is the first cafe in Amsterdam. B. Interaction among people is advocated. C. Only black smartphones are allowed there. D. Customers have to type 280 characters nonstop. 9. How did the cafe become more and more popular? A. By media’s advertising. B. By netizens’ commenting online. C. By employees’ handing out leaflets. D. By customers’ word-of-mouth promoting. 10. Why is Belinda mentioned in the third paragraph? A. To show the effect of the cafe. B. To explain the cause of her anxiety. C. To stress the seriousness of her situation. D. To introduce the problem of modern people. 11. What is Georgina Sturmer’s attitude towards the cafe? A. Ambiguous. B. Concerned. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了荷兰一家数字排毒咖啡馆，这家咖啡馆鼓励顾客将手机留在门口，提供一个远离数字喧嚣的宁静空间，让人们有机会进行安静的反思，并与陌生人交流。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“It creates moments of quiet reflection, and encourages conversations with strangers instead of endless keyboard arguments hammered out 280 characters at a time. (它创造了安静的反思时刻，并鼓励与陌生人的交流，而不是一次敲击出280个字符的无休止键盘争论。)”可知，这家咖啡馆鼓励人与人之间的互动。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“With board games, a piano and books on hand, the idea is to swap recharging your device for refilling your soul, even for just a few hours. Aided by word spreading on social media, the club has already branched out to multiple cities across the Netherlands, and is now ready for an international launch. (这里有桌游、钢琴和书籍，目的是用几个小时的时间来充实你的灵魂，而不是给你的设备充电。在社交媒体的帮助下，该俱乐部已经扩展到荷兰的多个城市，现在准备在国际上推出。)”及后文人们的具体评论可知，这家咖啡馆是通过网民在网上评论而变得越来越受欢迎的。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“‘People love it: they tell us this is exactly what they’ve been waiting for; they can’t believe it didn’t exist already,’ says co-founder Ilya Kneppelhout. ‘A girl called Belinda who struggled with stress and anxiety told us she hadn’t felt so at peace with herself in a year and a half’. (联合创始人Ilya Kneppelhout说：‘人们都很喜欢：他们告诉我们这正是他们一直在等待的；他们不敢相信以前竟然没有这样的地方。’‘一个叫Belinda的女孩，她一直在与压力和焦虑作斗争，她告诉我们，她一年半来都没有这么平静过’。)”可知，第三段提到Belinda是为了展示咖啡馆的效果，她在这个咖啡馆里找到了内心的平静。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“He’s already had a group of digital downtime followers in the UK, where Georgina Sturmer, who has worked with clients experiencing over-dependence on phones, points out another benefit of a switched-off society. (他在英国已经有一群数字停机时间的追随者，Georgina Sturmer曾与过度依赖手机的客户合作过，她指出了切断社交的另一个好处。)”可推知，Georgina Sturmer对这家咖啡馆是支持的。故选C。 D Autonomous systems like self-driving cars and robots are becoming more common, and their integration promises to transform industries by increasing efficiency and safety. However, they often fail to see and work well in different environments — like rainy days, low light, or complex backgrounds, because in these cases their sensors are affected. Interestingly, nature may have already shown how to deal with that. Now, scientists have designed a new vision system for robots, enhancing object detection and recognition. The cat’s eye caught their attention due to cats’ excellent vision in both light and darkness. During the day, a cat’s pupil is a vertical slit-like (垂直狭缝状的) shape that reduces bright unpleasant lights to help focus. At night, the pupil widens to let in more light, with a surface enhancing the cat’s vision by reflecting visible light back. Similarly, the new system includes a slit-like opening design that helps block out unnecessary light and single out key objects in bright conditions, and then uses a surface similar to that of cats’ eyes to improve visibility in low-light conditions. Robotic cameras often have difficulty in spotting objects in busy or complex backgrounds, especially with changing lighting. The new design successfully makes background objects blurred. It allows robots to ignore unnecessary details and focus on targets. Scientists also use a brain-like learning network to help the system better identify important objects. The vision system is more energy efficient as it relies on a specialized instrument rather than substantial computer processing. This groundbreaking technology unlocks exciting possibilities for real-world applications, transforming robotic vision and letting autonomous systems skillfully navigate (有效应对) complex environments and undertake tasks with great accuracy. From search and rescue operations to industrial monitoring, these cutting-edge robotic eyes stand ready to complement or even replace human efforts in a variety of critical scenes. 12. What does the author say about autonomous systems in paragraph 1? A. Their sensor plays the most vital part. B. Their efficiency affects the safety. C. They perform poorly in bad conditions. D. They keep changing based on nature. 13. How does the new system enhance visibility at night? A. By reflecting back visible light. B. By narrowing the slit-like opening. C. By absorbing surrounding light. D. By integrating computer processing. 14. What does the underlined word “blurred” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Distinct. B. Colorless. C. Regular. D. Unclear. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. New Discovery About Secrets of Cats’ Eyes B. Cat-inspired Solution to Robot Vision Problem C. Sensor Breakthrough in Autonomous Systems D. Nature-based Technology for Nighttime Use 【答案】12 C 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家受猫眼睛的启发，为机器人设计了一种新的视觉系统，能解决机器人在不同环境下视觉方面的问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Autonomous systems like self-driving cars and robots are becoming more common, and their integration promises to transform industries by increasing efficiency and safety. However, they often fail to see and work well in different environments — like rainy days, low light, or complex backgrounds, because in these cases their sensors are affected.(自动驾驶汽车和机器人等自主系统正变得越来越普遍，它们的整合有望通过提高效率和安全性来改变行业。然而，它们在不同的环境中，如雨天、低光照或复杂背景下，往往难以看清和正常工作，因为在这些情况下它们的传感器会受到影响)”可知，自主系统在恶劣条件下表现不佳。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“At night, the pupil widens to let in more light, with a surface enhancing the cat’s vision by reflecting visible light back. Similarly, the new system includes a surface similar to that of cats’ eyes to improve visibility in low light conditions.(在晚上，猫的瞳孔会扩大以让更多的光线进入，其表面通过反射可见光来增强猫的视力。同样，新系统包含一个类似于猫眼的表面，以在低光照条件下提高能见度)”可知，与猫通过反射可见光来增强视力一样，新系统在夜间通过反射可见光来提高能见度。故选A项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Robotic cameras often have difficulty in spotting objects in busy or complex backgrounds, especially with changing lighting.(机器人相机在繁忙或复杂的背景中，尤其是在光线变化的情况下，往往难以识别物体)”和下文“It allows robots to ignore unnecessary details and focus on targets.(它让机器人可以忽略不必要的细节，专注于目标)”可知，机器人相机因为繁忙或复杂的背景而难以识别物体，而新的设计可以让机器人相机忽略这些繁忙或复杂的背景，忽略不必要的细节，即使背景物体模糊化。所以“The new design successfully makes background objects blurred.”中划线词blurred是指“不清晰的”，与D项“Unclear”同义。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段“Now, scientists have designed a new vision system for robots, enhancing object detection and recognition. The cat’s eye caught their attention due to cats’ excellent vision in both light and darkness.(现在，科学家为机器人设计了一种新的视觉系统，增强了物体检测和识别能力。由于猫在明亮和黑暗环境中都有出色的视力，猫眼引起了他们的注意)”可知，本文主要介绍了受猫眼睛启发解决机器人视觉问题的方案。故B项“Cat inspired Solution to Robot Vision Problem”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选B项。 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。 Find your passion Is there something you love doing more than anything else?

F 17. G 18. C 19. D 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何发现个人的热情所在，强调了热情对个人成长和幸福感的重要性，并提供了探索热情的建议。 【16题详解】 由上文“Is there something you love doing more than anything else? Discovering you have a passion for a sport or hobby not only brings you joy (有没有什么事情是你最喜欢做的？发现你对一项运动或爱好有激情不仅会给你带来快乐。)”可知，本空应承接上文，说明激情的其它益处，F选项“it can also boost your self-cognition and self-confidence (它还能提升你的自我认知和自信心)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选F。 【17题详解】 由上文“Following your passion doesn’t mean trying to be the best at something or doing it because other people want you to. (追随你的激情并不意味着要在某件事上做到最好，或者因为别人希望你这样做而去做。)”可知，上文说明对激情的误解，本空应承接上文，解释激情的真正含义，G选项“What matters is that you’re drawn to an activity because of your feelings (重要的是，你被某种活动所吸引，是因为你的感受)”解释了激情是源于个人的感受，能承接上文，符合题意。故选G。 【18题详解】 由上文“If your passion involves learning a new skill or sport (如果你的激情涉及学习一项新技能或运动。)”可知，本空应承接上文，解释学习新技能或运动与激情的关系，C选项“it can help you to discover your strengths (它可以帮助你发现自己的优势)”解释了学习新技能或运动可以帮助你发现自己的优势，能承接上文，符合题意。故选C。 【19题详解】 由上文“Discover your passion (发现你的激情所在)”和下文“However, passion often begins with a spark of curiosity and grows from there. This spark could be lit by anything, like an inspiring lesson or an exciting goal in a football match. Following this spark can turn it into something meaningful that lifts your heart. (然而，激情往往开始于好奇心的火花，并从那里成长。这种火花可以被任何事情点燃，比如一节鼓舞人心的课或一场足球比赛中令人兴奋的进球。跟随这个火花可以把它变成有意义的事情，提升你的心。)”可知，上文提出发现激情，下文说明激情起源，本空应承上启下，强调激情起源，讨论如何发现自己的热情，即热情并不是总是等着被发现的。D选项“A passion is not always waiting to be discovered (热情并不总是等待被发现)”引导读者思考热情是如何形成的，能承上启下，符合题意。故选D。 【20题详解】 由下文“You can discover a passion by trying new activities. Then make time for it. Passion can also be catching. So share interests with your friends and help them find their passion too. (你可以通过尝试新的活动来发现你的激情。然后为它腾出时间。激情也是可以感染的。所以和你的朋友分享兴趣，帮助他们也找到他们的激情。)”可知，最后一段提供了关于如何发现热情的具体建议。因此，本空应概括这段话的主要观点，即探索不同的事物。B选项“Explore different things (探索不同的事物)”鼓励读者通过探索不同的活动来找到自己的热情，能概括下文，符合题意。故选B。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空的最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When I was young, my mom noticed something different in me.

As we stepped through the entrance, a large sign immediately captured my attention. It read, “Books: Open Doors to New Worlds. Discover, Dream, Delight.” These words seemed to dance in the sunlight, leading me to explore all the wonders they promised. When we made our way between the shelves, I spotted a beautiful book with a cover that was a masterpiece of colors and images. Unconsciously, my hand reached out to trace the outlines of the illustrations. I turned to my mom, my eyes begging for this book, but she shook her head with a sad expression. Our family was going through a tough time financially, and there was no room for such an expensive purchase. Disappointed, I dragged my feet and left. The next day, unable to resist the temptation, I found myself back at the store. I slipped the book into my bag, my hands trembling with a mix of excitement and guilt. Just as I was about to leave, the store owner noticed me. I froze, my face flushing with shame as I was caught red-handed. He stared at me, from whose eyes I could feel the judgement. I wanted to disappear, but there was no escape. With a shaky voice, I admitted stealing the book, and promised to make things right. As I walked out, the sign seemed to scold me. It was a reminder that the world I entered by a wrong path was disheartening. I walked home slowly, each step filled with fear. When I saw my mom, I burst into tears and told her the truth. She looked disappointed, but there was a glimmer of relief in her eyes that I was honest. She hugged me and said softly, “You made a mistake, but you had the courage to face it. Remember, there are always right ways to get what you want.” I nodded. After a moment of silence, my mom said, “Let’s make things right.” 注意： (1). 续写词数应为150个左右； (2). 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As we walked back into the store, my heart was so heavy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I finished my summer job, the owner handed me the book with a smile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As we walked back into the store, my heart was so heavy. However, encouraged by my mom, I gathered the courage and apologized to the store owner. Much to my surprise, the owner came up with an idea that he would give me the book as a reward for helping him in the store. Following his instructions carefully, I worked hard by dusting book covers and arranging books neatly on the shelves. As I was engaged in these tasks during the vacation, I came to realize the value of earning something through honest work. When I finished my summer job, the owner handed me the book with a smile. I received the book with a sense of pride and gratitude. The owner patted me on the shoulder and offered words of praise. My mom was also proud of me for working diligently for my small dream. This scene made me even more aware of the significance of my efforts. As I walked out of the store, the sign seemed to smile at me. From that moment on, it was a constant reminder that a delightful new world should be unlocked through honesty and kindness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在书店偷书后，在母亲的鼓励下勇于承认错误，并通过暑假工作来补偿过失，最终获得书籍的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们重新走进了商店，我心里非常沉重。”可知，第一段可以描写作者与母亲回到书店道歉的情景，以及店主的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我完成暑期工作时，店主微笑着把书递给了我。”可知，第二段可以描写作者在暑假期间勤奋工作，最终得到书籍和店主的赞扬，以及他从这次经历中学到的教训。 2. 续写线索：回到书店——道歉——店主提出解决方案——暑期工作——获得书籍——感悟诚实的价值 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①提出：come up with/put forward ②整理：arrange/organize ③ 参与：be engaged in/be involved in 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude/appreciation ②因……而骄傲：be proud of/take pride in 【点睛】【高分句型1】However, encouraged by my mom, I gathered the courage and apologized to the store owner.

B My father is a professional musician, showing me art can be a career. My parents always supported my interest, buying me art supplies and finding me a private teacher when I was eight, who exposed me to professional art life and introduced me to oil painting when I was ten. As I grew older, I studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art, deepening my exposure to painting from life. At the Maryland Institute College of Art, I majored in illustration, even though I had never worked as an illustrator. My artistic style, “Loose Realism”, developed organically over time. After graduating, I encountered a “quarter-life crisis”. At that time, the traditional gallery system was still dominant and social media hadn’t yet emerged. I’d received training at school, but I didn’t know how to translate that into a professional job and even whether to choose it in the real world. So, I got a series of random jobs, moved to Oregon, and realized I hadn’t painted within seven years. I attempted to create some occasionally during these years, but failed, as I believed that excellent art creations had to be big and figurative. I’d prepared large canvases (画布) but they became too precious to paint on, keeping me away from painting for too long. Actually, that was not the case. Then, I discovered the daily painting movement and started with still life, realizing its possibilities. I started teaching in 2013, after local shows led people to ask why I didn’t teach. My students introduced me to fresh viewpoints and challenged me to think critically about every color choice. Their attitudes and problems transformed my approach to painting, shifting it from a mechanical routine to a more mindful and intentional way. Teaching, both in person and online, has been satisfying. If I had changed my art journey, I would have focused earlier on what brought me joy. 4. How did the private teacher influence the author? A. By requiring her to create artworks. B. By enabling her to enter an art school. C. By leading her to a specialized art path. D. By motivating her to become a teacher. 5. What problem did the author run into after graduation? A. She was disappointed at the job. B. She was unused to social media. C. She was regretful about learning art. D. She was unsure of the future career. 6. Why did the author stop painting for seven years? A. She tried to avoid failure. B. She lost interest in painting. C. She misunderstood great art. D. She had much work to handle. 7. What did the students inspire the author to do? A. Focus on joyful things. B. Teaching in various ways. C. Stick to painting every day. D. Turn to thoughtful practice. C “Turn off, tune out and drop in.” That’s the message to customers at a Dutch digital detox (戒瘾) cafe who are paying for the privilege of leaving their phones at the door. The Offline Club, which began life in Amsterdam, offers an oasis (乐土) of calm and pause from the constant digital busyness of life lived through the black glass of a smartphone. It creates moments of quiet reflection, and encourages conversations with strangers instead of endless keyboard arguments hammered out 280 characters at a time. With board games, a piano and books on hand, the idea is to swap recharging your device for refilling your soul, even for just a few hours. Aided by word spreading on social media, the club has already branched out to multiple cities across the Netherlands, and is now ready for an international launch. “People love it: they tell us this is exactly what they’ve been waiting for; they can’t believe it didn’t exist already,” says co-founder Ilya Kneppelhout. “A girl called Belinda who struggled with stress and anxiety told us she hadn’t felt so at peace with herself in a year and a half.” Customers switch between time to themselves and time to connect. “People don’t just pay to get rid of their phones-they’re also paying to meet others,” says Kneppelhout. “We live in quite an isolated world where we’re more connected online, but in the physical world, it’s hard to meet people.” He’s already had a group of digital downtime followers in the UK, where Georgina Sturmer, who has worked with clients experiencing over-dependence on phones, points out another benefit of a switched-off society. “We are constantly at risk of having every word or image captured and shared,” she says. “This sense of being endlessly photographed is something that has come with these devices being in our lives so much. Wouldn’t it be great to feel safe knowing it doesn’t matter if we’re having a bad hair day, or don’t really like our outfit?” 8. What can we know about the Dutch digital detox cafe? A. It is the first cafe in Amsterdam. B. Interaction among people is advocated. C. Only black smartphones are allowed there. D. Customers have to type 280 characters nonstop. 9. How did the cafe become more and more popular? A. By media’s advertising. B. By netizens’ commenting online. C. By employees’ handing out leaflets. D. By customers’ word-of-mouth promoting. 10. Why is Belinda mentioned in the third paragraph? A. To show the effect of the cafe. B. To explain the cause of her anxiety. C. To stress the seriousness of her situation. D. To introduce the problem of modern people. 11. What is Georgina Sturmer’s attitude towards the cafe? A. Ambiguous. B. Concerned. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful. D Autonomous systems like self-driving cars and robots are becoming more common, and their integration promises to transform industries by increasing efficiency and safety. However, they often fail to see and work well in different environments — like rainy days, low light, or complex backgrounds, because in these cases their sensors are affected. Interestingly, nature may have already shown how to deal with that. Now, scientists have designed a new vision system for robots, enhancing object detection and recognition. The cat’s eye caught their attention due to cats’ excellent vision in both light and darkness. During the day, a cat’s pupil is a vertical slit-like (垂直狭缝状的) shape that reduces bright unpleasant lights to help focus. At night, the pupil widens to let in more light, with a surface enhancing the cat’s vision by reflecting visible light back. Similarly, the new system includes a slit-like opening design that helps block out unnecessary light and single out key objects in bright conditions, and then uses a surface similar to that of cats’ eyes to improve visibility in low-light conditions. Robotic cameras often have difficulty in spotting objects in busy or complex backgrounds, especially with changing lighting. The new design successfully makes background objects blurred. It allows robots to ignore unnecessary details and focus on targets. Scientists also use a brain-like learning network to help the system better identify important objects. The vision system is more energy efficient as it relies on a specialized instrument rather than substantial computer processing.

As we stepped through the entrance, a large sign immediately captured my attention. It read, “Books: Open Doors to New Worlds. Discover, Dream, Delight.” These words seemed to dance in the sunlight, leading me to explore all the wonders they promised. When we made our way between the shelves, I spotted a beautiful book with a cover that was a masterpiece of colors and images. Unconsciously, my hand reached out to trace the outlines of the illustrations. I turned to my mom, my eyes begging for this book, but she shook her head with a sad expression. Our family was going through a tough time financially, and there was no room for such an expensive purchase. Disappointed, I dragged my feet and left. The next day unable to resist the temptation, I found myself back at the store. I slipped the book into my bag, my hands trembling with a mix of excitement and guilt. Just as I was about to leave, the store owner noticed me. I froze, my face flushing with shame as I was caught red-handed. He stared at me, from whose eyes I could feel the judgement. I wanted to disappear, but there was no escape. With a shaky voice, I admitted stealing the book, and promised to make things right. As I walked out, the sign seemed to scold me. It was a reminder that the world I entered by a wrong path was disheartening. I walked home slowly, each step filled with fear. When I saw my mom, I burst into tears and told her the truth. She looked disappointed, but there was a glimmer of relief in her eyes that I was honest. She hugged me and said softly, “You made a mistake, but you had the courage to face it. Remember, there are always right ways to get what you want.” I nodded. After a moment of silence, my mom said, “Let’s make things right.” 注意： (1). 续写词数应为150个左右； (2). 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As we walked back into the store, my heart was so heavy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I finished my summer job, the owner handed me the book with a smile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
