The afternoon air was thick and warm, and by the time my dad and I reached the bay, which we called a swimming palace, my clothes were damp and itchy (痒) on my skin. Dad dived into a splash, heading out toward the edge of our narrow bay. Overwhelmed, suddenly, and with envy, I did what I hadn’t done in years: I held my breath and pulled my own head underwater.
There, suspended beneath the glimmering surface, I remembered it all — my love of diving, swimming, rivers and lakes. I knew what it was like again: to be free and fully present in my own skin.
Though I’ve always loved the water, I had spent seven years prior to that day staying away from moments like this one. I was afraid. Struggling for a long time with unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’ appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. My bare face and natural appearance were not something I identified with. I hated it, deeply, though I wished more than anything that I didn’t.
But those 10 minutes of contentment I floated within were fuel for the next chapter of my life. Suddenly, it didn’t matter how I did it. Whether through medication or mental attitude, I would find a way to have the kind of life that allowed me to dive into the water.
That day was the beginning of a slow but determined journey back to my own body — a slow unearthing of my deep self-consciousness. Life didn’t change in a heartbeat: I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn.
Reflecting on this moment again today, it seems strange to think that going bare-faced on an empty beach was such a challenge. But this is exactly the perspective I had once dreamed of reaching. I do my best never to take for granted this freedom I have found. I will sink under the surface of the water, embracing that swell of fear and joy and liberation.
24. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. My father’s action inspired me. B. I once suffered from memory loss.
C. My envy prevented me from diving. D. The bay was where I learned swimming.
25. The author avoided swimming for seven years because of ______ .
A. pressure from independence B. treatment for mental illness
C. inconvenience of making up D. insecurity about appearance
26. How did the author feel after she returned from the diving?
A. Hesitant and fearful. B. Restless but joyful.
C. Proud and contented. D. Afraid but resolute.
27. What message does the author want to convey in the passage?
A. Do not judge a book by its cover. B. Self-acceptance is the greatest gift.
C. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. D. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart.
C
Imagine journeying down the highway when you notice your fuel tank running low. Your GPS indicates 10 gas stations. Naturally, you want the cheapest option. You pass the first handful and observe their prices before approaching one with a seemingly good deal. Do you stop, without knowing how sweet the bargains could get up the road? Or do you continue exploring and risk regret for rejecting the bird in hand? How do you decide when to explore further and when to decide on a choice?
As a fascinating recent Big Think article explains in detail, no matter what choice you’ re making, mathematicians claim the 37 percent rule applies. Spend the first 37 percent of your decision-making process gathering information and committing to nothing. After that, choose the next option that comes along that’s better than everything you’ve seen before. This rule gives you the highest probability of making the superior choice.
Applying this precise rule will simplify messy reality. If you’ve given yourself a month to hunt for a most comfortable apartment, the 37 percent rule suggests you spend the first third or so of that surveying the market and making no decisions. If you’re hiring an assistant and plan to interview 10 candidates, let the first three go by. Then choose the next person who beats that first bunch.
What if an absolutely brilliant candidate just happens to be the first one you come across? Following this rule might end up complaining and wondering, “What if?” It is true that matters of the heart aren’t logical, and this rule only maximizes probabilities. It doesn’t guarantee success. So if lightning strikes or the angels sing and you’ re absolutely sure you’ve found the perfect match for you, don’t let inflexible rules stand in the way.
But even if it’s unwise to blindly follow the 37 percent rule in every instance that doesn’t make it unhelpful. Spending roughly the first third of your decision-making process gathering information can help you resist fear of missing out. Knowing that you should secure the first candidate who beats the options you previously explored can help you gather the courage to make decisions.
28. What does the underlined phrase “the bird in hand” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. A sweeter bargain ahead. B. The first GPS recommendation.
C. The previous cheaper gas station. D. A more suitable route on the journey.
29. Which of the following is an example of the 37 percent rule?
A. Choosing the 1st from 100. B. Choosing the 36th from 100.
C. Choosing the 37th from 100. D. Choosing the 38th from 100.
30. What is the writing purpose of paragraph 4?
A. To offer a reminder. B. To give an example.
C. To prove a conclusion. D. To make an assumption.
31. How does the 37 percent rule benefit us?
A. It boosts our self-confidence. B. It enhances our ability to analyze data.
C. It strengthens our links with the society. D. It improves our decision-making efficiency.
D
A wheeled robot rolls across the floor. A soft-bodied robotic star bends its five legs, moving awkwardly. Powered by conventional electricity via plug or battery, these simple robotic creations would be unremarkable, but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living entity (实体) : a king oyster mushroom.
By growing the mushroom’s mycelium (菌丝体) into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the mushroom and its sensitivity to light.
The robots are the latest accomplishment of scientists in a field known as biohybrid robotics who seek to combine biological, living materials such as plant and animal cells or insects with artificial components to make partly living and partly engineered entities.
There’s still a long way to go before biohybrid robots go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day robot jellyfish may explore oceans, sperm-powered robots may be able to deliver fertility (肥沃) treatments and cyborg cockroaches could search for survivors in the wake of an earthquake.
“Biohybridization is an attempt to find components in the biological world that we can use, understand, and control to help our artificial systems work better,” said Shepherd, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell University.
The team began by growing king oyster mushrooms in the lab from a simple kit ordered online. The researchers chose this species of mushroom because it grows easily and quickly. They cultivated (培育) the mushroom’s mycelium, which can form networks that, according to the study, can sense, communicate and transport nutrients.
The team found it challenging to engineer a system that could detect and use the small electrical signals from the mycelia to command the robot. “You have to make sure that your electrode (电极) touches in the right position because the mycelia are very thin,” said lead author Anand Mishra. “Then you culture them, and when the mycelia start growing, they wrap around the electrode.”
32. What is special about the two robots in the first paragraph?
A. They can control living creatures. B. They can make various movements.
C. They are powered by king oyster mushrooms. D. They are partly mushroom and partly machine.
33. What does the author want to show by giving the examples in paragraph 4?
A. The future possibilities of biohybrid robots.
B. The seriousness of the environmental issues.
C. The limitations of biohybrid robots beyond the lab.
D. The advantages of biohybrid robots over conventional ones.
34. What did the team find difficult when engineering the robots?
A. Wrapping the electrode with the mycelia.
B. Arranging the electrode in the right order.
C. Developing a system to cultivate the mycelia.
D. Positioning the electrode accurately on the mycelia.
35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. When Nature Meets Technology B. How Technology Transforms Nature
C. King Oyster Mushrooms: the Magic of Nature D. Biohybrid Robotics: the Key to Social Development

Meetings are a key way to get yourself noticed. When you “hold your own” in a meeting, you show that you’re confident, and this can mark you out as a future leader. ____36____ So no matter how many great ideas you have in your head, they’re useless to you, your team, and your organization until you express them. Here is the guide to getting your voice heard at meetings.
Come prepared. Have some talking points planned out before you express your idea. Practice with a trusted colleague who can help you iron out any problems. Imagine the possible reactions people might have to your idea. ____37____ What are some questions that might come up in response to your idea? How will you answer those questions?
Get to the point. Engage people in the main points of the idea, then dive into the details. When you start strong you’ll give them a reason to continue listening. ____38____ people are overwhelmed with numerous things to do at work. While the eight second attention span may be a myth, people certainly appreciate brevity (简短) now more than ever.
____39____ People lose interest when they’re listening to a long talk. Invite them to be a part of your idea. Organize your argument in a way that makes them want to ask questions and learn more. When you give them time to ask questions they’ll be more interested, attentive, and engaged. The more you can engage them, the more they’ll truly listen.
Have confidence in yourself. The more you believe in yourself, the more that shows through when you express an idea. People can hear the confidence in your voice when you speak and see it in your body language. If you allow yourself to think that you’re nervous, you’ll convince yourself to be. Fight nerves by taking a few moments to stand in a power pose. ____40____
A. Time is precious.
B Make it a conversation.
C. Speak with elegance and intention.
D. Unluckily, your colleagues can’t read minds.
E. It gives you time to quiet your mind and focus.
F. Look at it from as many other perspectives as possible.
G. This is how you show value and make a positive impression.

Sarah had always dreamed of becoming a wildlife photographer. Every weekend, she would walk into the nearby forest, hoping to capture precious moments of animals in their natural habitat. However, after months of trying, she still hadn’t gotten that perfect shot she was looking for. Deer always ran away at the slightest sound, birds flew off before she could focus her lens(镜头), and her camera bag stayed full of empty memory cards. Frustration began to creep in, but Sarah refused to give up. She loved the forest, the fresh air, and the sense of peace it brought her, even if the animals didn’t always cooperate.
One chilly autumn morning, Sarah noticed something unusual—a young fox standing still near the edge of the forest. Her heart raced with excitement. “This could be my chance!” she thought, quickly pulling out her camera. She adjusted the lens and began to move closer, careful not to make any sudden movements. The fox didn’t run away; it just stood there, its gaze fixed on her. Sarah’s fingers trembled as she framed the shot, imagining the stunning image she could capture—the fox’s brilliant red coat against the golden autumn landscape.
As she peered through the viewfinder, she noticed something strange. The fox’s front paw was raised slightly, and its body seemed tense. She zoomed in and gasped—the paw was injured, possibly caught in a trap. The fox’s stillness wasn’t an opportunity for a perfect shot; it was a sign of pain and fear. Sarah’s excitement turned to concern in an instant. Her heart tightened as she looked into the animal’s eyes, seeing the silent plea(恳求)for help. Her photographer’s instinct urged her to take the shot—it would be powerful, emotional, and perfect.
But a stronger voice inside her whispered that some moments weren’t meant to be captured; they were meant to be acted upon. With trembling hands, she lowered her camera and reached for her phone instead to call the local wildlife rescue team.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine.

W: Do they do that to build more towns for people to live in? If so, they didn’t do very well. There’s nothing but fields here.
M: Exactly. Fields being under water for all that time means the soil is very rich, making it excellent for growing produce such as potatoes, which the area is famous for.

It can be incredibly rewarding and it will allow you to build a strong, healthy relationship. When a dog knows what is expected of it, it feels safer and happier.
All dogs, whether they are young or old, can learn basic instructions and love to make their owner happy. Here are some basic instructions we will be learning, sit, say and come. Once the dogs learn these instructions, they will enjoy the freedom that life brings.
That’s because you will trust them if you let them off the rope and you know they will return to you as soon as you ask. This will give you control and give them the freedom to run around and have fun. Dogs are intelligent animals who love to learn.
Training prevents boredom and keeps their minds lively. And because we believe in rewarding dogs with special treat, they will love the training class. Let’s give them the first one now.

The afternoon air was thick and warm, and by the time my dad and I reached the bay, which we called a swimming palace, my clothes were damp and itchy (痒) on my skin. Dad dived into a splash, heading out toward the edge of our narrow bay. Overwhelmed, suddenly, and with envy, I did what I hadn’t done in years: I held my breath and pulled my own head underwater.
There, suspended beneath the glimmering surface, I remembered it all — my love of diving, swimming, rivers and lakes. I knew what it was like again: to be free and fully present in my own skin.
Though I’ve always loved the water, I had spent seven years prior to that day staying away from moments like this one. I was afraid. Struggling for a long time with unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’ appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. My bare face and natural appearance were not something I identified with. I hated it, deeply, though I wished more than anything that I didn’t.
But those 10 minutes of contentment I floated within were fuel for the next chapter of my life. Suddenly, it didn’t matter how I did it. Whether through medication or mental attitude, I would find a way to have the kind of life that allowed me to dive into the water.
That day was the beginning of a slow but determined journey back to my own body — a slow unearthing of my deep self-consciousness. Life didn’t change in a heartbeat: I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn.
Reflecting on this moment again today, it seems strange to think that going bare-faced on an empty beach was such a challenge. But this is exactly the perspective I had once dreamed of reaching. I do my best never to take for granted this freedom I have found. I will sink under the surface of the water, embracing that swell of fear and joy and liberation.
24. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. My father’s action inspired me. B. I once suffered from memory loss.
C. My envy prevented me from diving. D. The bay was where I learned swimming.
25. The author avoided swimming for seven years because of ______ .
A. pressure from independence B. treatment for mental illness
C. inconvenience of making up D. insecurity about appearance
26. How did the author feel after she returned from the diving?
A. Hesitant and fearful. B. Restless but joyful.
C. Proud and contented. D. Afraid but resolute.
27. What message does the author want to convey in the passage?
A. Do not judge a book by its cover. B. Self-acceptance is the greatest gift.
C. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. D. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这篇文章是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者在一次与父亲去海湾游泳的经历中,重新找回了对水的热爱,并开始努力克服对外貌的过度关注,重新接受自己。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Dad dived into a splash, heading out toward the edge of our narrow bay. Overwhelmed, suddenly, and with envy, I did what I hadn’t done in years: I held my breath and pulled my own head underwater. (爸爸跳进水中,溅起一片水花,向我们狭窄海湾的边缘游去。突然间,我被一种强烈的羡慕感所淹没,我做了多年来从未做过的事情:我屏住呼吸,把头埋进了水里)”可知,父亲跳进水里游泳,这让作者很羡慕,于是作者也做了自己多年没做过的事,把头埋进了水里,可得出作者的父亲的行为激发了她,故选A项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“I was afraid. Struggling for a long time with unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’ appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. (我害怕。长期以来,我一直在与无用的治疗和青少年女孩对外貌的压力作斗争,我变得完全依赖于我的化妆品。我需要完全控制我的外貌,而游泳意味着会冲走这种控制)”可知,作者避免游泳是因为她对自己的外貌缺乏安全感,怕游泳毁掉妆容,故选D项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn. (我带着所有同样的恐惧回到了岸上,但我穿上了改变事情的新决心。我感觉到潮水转向了)”可知,作者带着同样的恐惧回到岸边,但是作者下定决心要改变,所以作者虽然仍然害怕,但变得更加坚定,故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I will sink under the surface of the water, embracing that swell of fear and joy and liberation. (我会沉入水下,拥抱那种恐惧、快乐和解放的浪潮)”可知,作者重新找回了对水的热爱,并开始努力克服对外貌的过度关注,重新接受自己,她想要传达的信息是自我接受是最大的礼物,故选B项。
C
Imagine journeying down the highway when you notice your fuel tank running low. Your GPS indicates 10 gas stations. Naturally, you want the cheapest option. You pass the first handful and observe their prices before approaching one with a seemingly good deal. Do you stop, without knowing how sweet the bargains could get up the road? Or do you continue exploring and risk regret for rejecting the bird in hand? How do you decide when to explore further and when to decide on a choice?
As a fascinating recent Big Think article explains in detail, no matter what choice you’ re making, mathematicians claim the 37 percent rule applies. Spend the first 37 percent of your decision-making process gathering information and committing to nothing. After that, choose the next option that comes along that’s better than everything you’ve seen before. This rule gives you the highest probability of making the superior choice.
Applying this precise rule will simplify messy reality. If you’ve given yourself a month to hunt for a most comfortable apartment, the 37 percent rule suggests you spend the first third or so of that surveying the market and making no decisions. If you’re hiring an assistant and plan to interview 10 candidates, let the first three go by. Then choose the next person who beats that first bunch.
What if an absolutely brilliant candidate just happens to be the first one you come across? Following this rule might end up complaining and wondering, “What if?” It is true that matters of the heart aren’t logical, and this rule only maximizes probabilities. It doesn’t guarantee success. So if lightning strikes or the angels sing and you’ re absolutely sure you’ve found the perfect match for you, don’t let inflexible rules stand in the way.
But even if it’s unwise to blindly follow the 37 percent rule in every instance, that doesn’t make it unhelpful. Spending roughly the first third of your decision-making process gathering information can help you resist fear of missing out. Knowing that you should secure the first candidate who beats the options you previously explored can help you gather the courage to make decisions.
28. What does the underlined phrase “the bird in hand” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. A sweeter bargain ahead. B. The first GPS recommendation.
C. The previous cheaper gas station. D. A more suitable route on the journey.
29. Which of the following is an example of the 37 percent rule?
A. Choosing the 1st from 100. B. Choosing the 36th from 100.
C. Choosing the 37th from 100. D. Choosing the 38th from 100.
30. What is the writing purpose of paragraph 4?
A. To offer a reminder. B. To give an example.
C. To prove a conclusion. D. To make an assumption.
31. How does the 37 percent rule benefit us?
A. It boosts our self-confidence. B. It enhances our ability to analyze data.
C. It strengthens our links with the society. D. It improves our decision-making efficiency.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕数学家提出的“37%规则”在决策过程中的应用、局限及益处。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“You pass the first handful and observe their prices before approaching one with a seemingly good deal. Do you stop, without knowing how sweet the bargains could get up the road? Or do you continue exploring and risk regret for rejecting the bird in hand? (你路过第一批商品,观察它们的价格,然后接近一个看似很划算的商品。你会在不知道前面可能会有更划算的交易的情况下停下来吗?还是你会继续探索,冒着因拒绝the bird in hand而后悔的风险呢?)”可知,这里指的就是已经路过且看起来价格还可以的那些加油站。由此可知,划线词组the bird in hand指的是之前遇到的相对较便宜的加油站。故填C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Spend the first 37 percent of your decision-making process gathering information and committing to nothing. After that, choose the next option that comes along that’s better than everything you’ve seen before. (将决策过程的前37%用于收集信息,什么都不做。之后,选择下一个出现的选项,它比你以前见过的一切都要好)”可知,如果总共有100个选项,37%就是37个,也就是先观察前37个选项不做选择,接下来遇到比前面37个都好的那个选项就是要选的,那就是第38个。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“What if an absolutely brilliant candidate just happens to be the first one you come across? Following this rule might end up complaining and wondering, “What if?” It is true that matters of the heart aren’t logical, and this rule only maximizes probabilities. It doesn’t guarantee success. So if lightning strikes or the angels sing and you’ re absolutely sure you’ve found the perfect match for you, don’t let inflexible rules stand in the way. (如果一个绝对聪明的候选人恰好是你遇到的第一个人怎么办?遵循这条规则可能最终会抱怨和想知道,“如果呢?”诚然,心事不合逻辑,这条规则只会使概率最大化。它并不能保证成功。因此,如果雷击或天使歌唱,并且你绝对确定自己已经找到了最适合你的人选,请不要让僵化的规则成为阻碍)”可知,37%规则虽然有用,但不是绝对的,所以读者在特殊情况下要根据实际情况灵活判断,不要盲目遵循规则。由此推知,第四段的目的是提供一个提醒。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Spending roughly the first third of your decision-making process gathering information can help you resist fear of missing out. Knowing that you should secure the first candidate who beats the options you previously explored can help you gather the courage to make decisions. (在决策过程的前三分之一左右时间收集信息可以帮助你抵制对错过的恐惧。知道你应该确保第一个击败你之前探索过的选项的候选人可以帮助你鼓起勇气做出决定)”可知,按照37%规则,花决策过程的前一部分时间收集信息能帮助我们抵抗错失良机的恐惧,知道何时根据规则做选择能帮助我们鼓起勇气做决策,总体上这些都有助于我们更有效地做出决策。由此推知,37%规则提高了我们的决策效率。故选D项。
D
A wheeled robot rolls across the floor. A soft-bodied robotic star bends its five legs, moving awkwardly. Powered by conventional electricity via plug or battery, these simple robotic creations would be unremarkable, but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living entity (实体) : a king oyster mushroom.
By growing the mushroom’s mycelium (菌丝体) into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the mushroom and its sensitivity to light.
The robots are the latest accomplishment of scientists in a field known as biohybrid robotics who seek to combine biological, living materials such as plant and animal cells or insects with artificial components to make partly living and partly engineered entities.
There’s still a long way to go before biohybrid robots go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day robot jellyfish may explore oceans, sperm-powered robots may be able to deliver fertility (肥沃) treatments and cyborg cockroaches could search for survivors in the wake of an earthquake.
“Biohybridization is an attempt to find components in the biological world that we can use, understand, and control to help our artificial systems work better,” said Shepherd, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell University.
The team began by growing king oyster mushrooms in the lab from a simple kit ordered online. The researchers chose this species of mushroom because it grows easily and quickly. They cultivated (培育) the mushroom’s mycelium, which can form networks that, according to the study, can sense, communicate and transport nutrients.
The team found it challenging to engineer a system that could detect and use the small electrical signals from the mycelia to command the robot. “You have to make sure that your electrode (电极) touches in the right position because the mycelia are very thin,” said lead author Anand Mishra. “Then you culture them, and when the mycelia start growing, they wrap around the electrode.”
32. What is special about the two robots in the first paragraph?
A. They can control living creatures. B. They can make various movements.
C. They are powered by king oyster mushrooms. D. They are partly mushroom and partly machine.
33. What does the author want to show by giving the examples in paragraph 4?
A. The future possibilities of biohybrid robots.
B. The seriousness of the environmental issues.
C. The limitations of biohybrid robots beyond the lab.
D. The advantages of biohybrid robots over conventional ones.
34. What did the team find difficult when engineering the robots?
A. Wrapping the electrode with the mycelia.
B. Arranging the electrode in the right order.
C. Developing a system to cultivate the mycelia.
D. Positioning the electrode accurately on the mycelia.
35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. When Nature Meets Technology B. How Technology Transforms Nature
C. King Oyster Mushrooms: the Magic of Nature D. Biohybrid Robotics: the Key to Social Development
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种将生物和科技结合起来的机器人,介绍了其工作原理以及存在的挑战。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Powered by conventional electricity via plug or battery, these simple robotic creations would be unremarkable, but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living entity (实体) : a king oyster mushroom.(通过插头或电池供电,这些简单的机器人创造物可能并不引人注目,但这两个机器人的与众不同之处在于,它们是由一种生物控制的:一种王牡蛎蘑菇)”可知,两个机器人部分是蘑菇,部分是机器。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“There’s still a long way to go before biohybrid robots go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day robot jellyfish may explore oceans, sperm-powered robots may be able to deliver fertility (肥沃) treatments and cyborg cockroaches could search for survivors in the wake of an earthquake.(生物混合机器人要走出实验室还有很长的路要走,但研究人员希望有一天机器水母可以探索海洋,精子驱动的机器人可以提供生育治疗,半机器人蟑螂可以在地震后寻找幸存者)”可知,作者在第4段中给出的例子想要说明生物混合机器人的未来可能性。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“ The team found it challenging to engineer a system that could detect and use the small electrical signals from the mycelia to command the robot. “You have to make sure that your electrode (电极) touches in the right position because the mycelia are very thin,” said lead author Anand Mishra.(研究小组发现,设计一个能够检测并使用来自菌丝体的小电信号来指挥机器人的系统是一项挑战该研究的主要作者阿南德·米什拉说:“你必须确保电极接触到正确的位置,因为菌丝非常薄。”)”可知,在设计机器人时,团队发现难以将电极准确定位在菌丝上。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“By growing the mushroom’s mycelium (菌丝体) into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the mushroom and its sensitivity to light.(通过将蘑菇的菌丝体植入机器人的硬件,康奈尔大学研究人员领导的一个团队设计了两种类型的机器人,它们通过蘑菇发出的电信号和对光的敏感性来感知和响应环境)”结合文章主要介绍了一种将生物和科技结合起来的机器人,介绍了其工作原理以及存在的挑战可知,A选项“当自然遇上科技”最符合文章标题。故选A。

Meetings are a key way to get yourself noticed. When you “hold your own” in a meeting, you show that you’re confident, and this can mark you out as a future leader. ____36____ So no matter how many great ideas you have in your head, they’re useless to you, your team, and your organization until you express them. Here is the guide to getting your voice heard at meetings.
Come prepared. Have some talking points planned out before you express your idea. Practice with a trusted colleague who can help you iron out any problems. Imagine the possible reactions people might have to your idea. ____37____ What are some questions that might come up in response to your idea? How will you answer those questions?
Get to the point. Engage people in the main points of the idea, then dive into the details. When you start strong you’ll give them a reason to continue listening. ____38____ people are overwhelmed with numerous things to do at work. While the eight second attention span may be a myth, people certainly appreciate brevity (简短) now more than ever.
____39____ People lose interest when they’re listening to a long talk. Invite them to be a part of your idea. Organize your argument in a way that makes them want to ask questions and learn more. When you give them time to ask questions, they’ll be more interested, attentive, and engaged. The more you can engage them, the more they’ll truly listen.
Have confidence in yourself. The more you believe in yourself, the more that shows through when you express an idea. People can hear the confidence in your voice when you speak and see it in your body language. If you allow yourself to think that you’re nervous, you’ll convince yourself to be. Fight nerves by taking a few moments to stand in a power pose. ____40____
A. Time is precious.
B. Make it a conversation.
C. Speak with elegance and intention.
D. Unluckily, your colleagues can’t read minds.
E. It gives you time to quiet your mind and focus.
F. Look at it from as many other perspectives as possible.
G. This is how you show value and make a positive impression.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了如何在会议中有效表达自己的观点,从而获得他人的注意和认可。文章提供了五个具体的建议,包括充分准备、简洁明了、控制时间、互动交流以及保持自信。
【36题详解】
前文“Meetings are a key way to get yourself noticed. When you “hold your own” in a meeting, you show that you’re confident, and this can mark you out as a future leader.(会议是让自己引人注目的关键途径。当你在会议上“保持自信”时,你展现出了自信,这能让你成为未来的领导者。)”提到会议是展示自己的重要场合,后文“So no matter how many great ideas you have in your head, they’re useless to you, your team, and your organization until you express them.(因此,无论你脑子里有多少伟大的想法,除非你表达出来,否则它们对你、你的团队和你的组织来说都是无用的。)”强调如果不表达出来,想法就毫无价值。由此可知,前后是转折关系,空处应指出他人无法直接了解你的想法。D项“Unluckily, your colleagues can’t read minds.(不幸的是,你的同事无法读懂你的想法)”符合,引起下文,故选D。
【37题详解】
前文“Imagine the possible reactions people might have to your idea.(想象一下人们对你的想法可能会有的反应)”建议预想他人对你想法的反应,后文“What are some questions that might come up in response to your idea? How will you answer those questions?(针对你的想法,可能会提出哪些问题?你将如何回答这些问题?)”进一步说明要从不同的角度思考可能的问题。由此可知,空处应强调从多角度思考问题。F项“Look at it from as many other perspectives as possible.(尽可能从其他角度看待它)”符合,故选F。
【38题详解】
前文“Get to the point. Engage people in with the main points of the idea, then dive into the details. When you start strong you’ll give them a reason to continue listening.(直奔主题用核心观点吸引听众,再深入细节。强有力的开场能让他们有理由继续倾听。)”强调要简洁明了地表达观点,后文“People are overwhelmed with numerous things to do at work. While the eight second attention span may be a myth, people certainly appreciate brevity (简短) now more than ever.(工作中人们常被琐事淹没。虽然“8秒注意力”可能是谣言,但如今人们比以往更看重简洁。)”说明现代人时间有限,更看重简短表达。由此可知,空处应点明时间的重要性。A项“Time is precious.(时间很宝贵)”符合,故选A。
【39题详解】
后文“People lose interest when they’re listening to a long talk. Invite them to be a part of your idea. Organize your argument in a way that makes them want to ask questions and learn more.(冗长的发言会让人失去兴趣。邀请他人参与你的想法,用激发提问的方式组织论述。)”指出长篇大论会让人失去兴趣,建议通过互动提升参与感。由此可知,空处应提出将表达转化为对话。B项“Make it a conversation.(让它成为一场对话)”符合,故选B。
【40题详解】
前文“Fight nerves by taking a few moments to stand in a power pose.(用力量姿势站立片刻来对抗紧张。)”提到用“能量姿势”缓解紧张,空处应需补充这一行为的作用。E项“It gives you time to quiet your mind and focus.(它能让你有时间平静思绪并集中注意力)”说明其效果,符合语境,故选E。

67. 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。
Sarah had always dreamed of becoming a wildlife photographer. Every weekend, she would walk into the nearby forest, hoping to capture precious moments of animals in their natural habitat. However, after months of trying, she still hadn’t gotten that perfect shot she was looking for. Deer always ran away at the slightest sound, birds flew off before she could focus her lens(镜头), and her camera bag stayed full of empty memory cards. Frustration began to creep in, but Sarah refused to give up. She loved the forest, the fresh air, and the sense of peace it brought her, even if the animals didn’t always cooperate.
One chilly autumn morning, Sarah noticed something unusual—a young fox standing still near the edge of the forest. Her heart raced with excitement. “This could be my chance!” she thought, quickly pulling out her camera. She adjusted the lens and began to move closer, careful not to make any sudden movements. The fox didn’t run away; it just stood there, its gaze fixed on her. Sarah’s fingers trembled as she framed the shot, imagining the stunning image she could capture—the fox’s brilliant red coat against the golden autumn landscape.
As she peered through the viewfinder, she noticed something strange. The fox’s front paw was raised slightly, and its body seemed tense. She zoomed in and gasped—the paw was injured, possibly caught in a trap. The fox’s stillness wasn’t an opportunity for a perfect shot; it was a sign of pain and fear. Sarah’s excitement turned to concern in an instant. Her heart tightened as she looked into the animal’s eyes, seeing the silent plea(恳求)for help. Her photographer’s instinct urged her to take the shot—it would be powerful, emotional, and perfect.
But a stronger voice inside her whispered that some moments weren’t meant to be captured; they were meant to be acted upon. With trembling hands, she lowered her camera and reached for her phone instead to call the local wildlife rescue team.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine. After quickly assessing the situation, they approached the fox cautiously, bent down and talked softly to calm the frightened animal. Then the fox’s paw was carefully released from the trap. No sooner had they applied medicine to the wound than the fox showed signs of relief. Sarah, watching the rescue unfold before her eyes, realized this was far more precious than any photograph she could have taken. Right then, Sarah decided to join the rescue team as a volunteer.
Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream. Profoundly moved by the fox incident, she committed herself to combining her passion for photography with her newfound mission. Whenever she went into the forest with her camera, she kept an eye out for any animals in need. Her photos evolved to tell deeper stories — carrying both beauty and conservation. Little did she know that her decision to help that fox would transform her photography and her entire perspective on the relationship between humans and nature.
