Patented (获得专利权) in 1942 together with composer George Anthiel, their “frequency hopping” de-vice was used during the war. Surprisingly, neither Lamarr nor Anthiel profited from their invention during their lifetimes. Uri Geller—Radiation Shield (辐射防护屏) As an Israeli-British magician, Uri Geller is best-known for using “mind power” to bend spoons on live TV. However, a lesser-known achievement is his invention of a radiation shield to protect cell phone users from the radiation. Patented in 1998, the shield covers the device completely to protect users from the harmful effects of radiation from cell phones and other handheld devices. Jamie Lee Curtis—Baby Diaper (尿布) Jamie Lee Curtis was a screen legend. She has featured in many movies during her career. With a busy acting schedule, it's quite surprising that she found time to turn her hand to invention. Curtis actually patented a baby diaper during 1980s, aiming at improving the traditional diaper design. Gary Burghoff—Fishing Equipment American actor Gary Burghoff is best-known for his role in the 1970s'TV series M*A*S*H. Burghoff also has a gift for inventing things. He holds two patents for “Chum Magic,” a fishing device that draws fish toward the boat, as well as a fishing pole. 21. When did Uri Geller get the patent on his invention? A. In 1930. B. In 1940. C In 1970. D. In 1998. 22. What do Hedy Lamarr and Jamie Lee Curtis have in common? A. They are actresses. B. They are magicians. C. They were born in Austria. D. They got their patents in 1980. 23. Whose patent is related to fishing? A. Hedy Lamarr's. B. Uri Geller's. C. Jamie Lee Curtis's. D. Gary Burghoff's. B A handwritten obituary (讣告) for a hippo by a zookeeper in East China’s Nanjing has spread quickly as it detailed the hippo’s life, moving both zoo visitors and netizens alike. “On January 18, hippo Fei Fei passed away due to a lung infection (感染) caused by asthma, leaving his wife Jin Jin at the exhibition zone,” read the notice handwritten by an animal keeper in Hongshan Forest Zoo. According to the obituary, Fei Fei was born in 1997 and had lived in the zoo since it opened in 1998. Fei Fei, who never got sick, was found to dive shorter and was diagnosed with asthma in March 2021. His condition kept worsening despite regular medical care, the notice said. “The skin on his legs began to rot...Fearing infection, I changed his water daily and carefully applied medicine to each wound. However, he still left, taking away my three years of hopes,” read the notice. “We will not forget the great contributions Fei Fei made to the hippo population and we value the 27 years he spent with us,” read the obituary. The zoo has started to design and will soon build a new exhibition zone with a large hippo house, a powerful filtration system, a simulated African ecological environment, alongside other African animals for companionship, the obituary added. It is customary for the zoo to write obituaries for certain animals that pass away. The words in the obituary are simple and sincere, reflecting the deep relationship between the keeper and the animal, one netizen wrote. In January 2023, the zoo penned an obituary for sun bear Lao Ma, thinking back to the 33-year-old animal’s moments at the zoo. 24. Why has the handwritten obituary for Fei Fei spread quickly? A. It’s written by a famous person. B. It announced the opening of a new zone. C. It detailed the hippo’s life and moved people. D. It’s the first obituary for an animal in the zoo. 25. How did the keeper feel about Fei Fei’s death? A. He was upset. B. He was relieved. C. He was annoyed. D. He was indifferent. 26. Why does the zoo plan to build a new exhibition zone? A. To attract more visitors. B. To make up for the loss of Fei Fei. C. To show off the zoo’s financial strength. D. To offer the animals a better living environment. 27. What does the author want to convey through this text? A. The importance of protecting hippos. B. The process of an animal’s life in the zoo. C. The good management of Hongshan Forest Zoo. D. The close connection between humans and zoo animals. C Everyone knows this: Slowly turn up the heat on a frog in a pot of water, and the frog won’t hop out. Unaware of the slight increase in heat, it will stay put until — well, until it dies. When it comes to the effect of rising global temperatures on amphibians (两栖动物), the frog-boiling fable is more than just a metaphor (隐喻). Climate change is becoming one of the biggest threats to frogs and other amphibians according to a major study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Between 2004 and 2022, rising temperatures became the primary reason why more than 100 amphibian species were slipping toward extinction. The spread of disease among frogs and the destruction of their habitats have long been recognized as reasons why many amphibians are decreasing. But this new study establishes climate change as a major risk for amphibians around the world, too. The soft-skinned animals lack the fur and feathers to help adjust their temperature in this hotter and more drought-stricken world. Less attention is paid to frogs and other amphibians compared to more well-known groups like birds. But losing amphibians would be disastrous because they often act as a key link in the food web of ecosystems, wolfing insects down and, in turn, being eaten by larger predators (捕食者).“Without those amphibians to fill that role, we will see the breakdown of this food web,” said Neam, who works for an Austin-based environmental group. Luckily, habitat protection and other conservation measures have been taken to help recover more than five dozen amphibians from Costa Rica to Malaysia. “It’s not all bad news,” said Jennifer Luedtke, an amphibian group leader of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. “But we really must build on this improvement and significantly increase investment in amphibian conservation.” 28. How is the topic introduced? A. By listing facts. B. By explaining ideas. C. By sharing a story. D. By raising a question. 29. What is the main reason for the decrease of amphibians according to the new study? A. The spread of disease. B. The loss of habitats. C. The rise of temperature. D. The lack of feathers. 30. What will happen if the number of amphibians decreases? A. The food chain will be destroyed. B. Wolves will depend more on insects. C. Predators will be the key role of the web. D. The ecosystem will become more diverse. 31. How does Luedtke feel about the future of amphibians? A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Uncertain. D. Curious. D The design theory behind a pair of tiny robots may one day find its way into environmental monitoring, as well as search and-rescue tasks. Modeled after a water strider (水黾), an insect, the two robots each weigh in at 8 and 55 milligrams, and may mark the smallest, lightest, and fastest fully functional micro-robots in the world, according to Washington State University (WSU). Developed by a team of WSU researchers the robots’ tininess largely relies on a material known as a shape memory alloy (合金). Although shape memory alloys change form when heated, they can “remember” their original shapes and return to them after cooling. Because of this, the two micro-robots do not require standard motors, and they use light and small ones instead of bulky moving parts. Both the robots’ motors are each made up of two shape memory alloys, allowing them to move their fins as fast as 40 times a second while also lifting over 150 times their weight. “They’re very technologically sound. The development of the very lightweight robots opens up new possibilities in micro-robotics,” said Conor Trygstad, a material engineering PhD student and study lead author. “Although the robots are impressive when compared to other robots, the pair still fall behind their biological relatives’,” Trygstad said. They can currently move at a speed of about six millimeters a second; a water strider, by comparison, speeds along at about a meter per second. For now, the robots also require wired (连线的) power sources, thus seriously preventing any real-world applications for the moment. Going forward, however, the team plans to copy other small insect species while also creating a new water strider robot which can move at a higher speed. Depending on using small batteries could also greatly increase the robots’ areas of use, If the breakthrough designs continue improving, similar micro-robots could one day be employed to monitor hard-to-reachor dangerous environments. 32. What is the inspiration for the two robots? A. A special monitor. B. The lightest micro robot. C. An insect species. D. A search-and rescue task 33. What does the underlined word “bulky” mean in paragraph 2? A. Cheap. B. Huge. C. Cool D. Fast. 34. What might Conor Trygstad agree with? A. Both robots can identify sound. B. Both robots need wireless power sources. C. Both robots work better than water striders. D. Both robots have weaknesses besides strengths. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Robots Are Saving Environment B. Shape Memory Alloys Are The Key C. Human Beings Learn From Animals D. Two Micro robots Can Play A Big Part 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。 Orienteering: My Life-long Passion Orienteering is a timed event across a mostly natural landscape, where participants navigate through a series of checkpoints along the way. The route from one checkpoint to the next isn’t marked. ___36___ Beyond mere exercise, orienteering builds physical endurance and mental sharpness, with each move requiring split-second judgement.

But for Tom, who lived in a remote village, it meant a dangerous journey through strong winds and piles of snow. It was a cold morning. The snow blanketed every rooftop and weighed on the branches of big trees. Tom woke up early, with the howling wind outside his small cabin (小木屋). He put on lots of clothes, including his thickest wool socks and warmest coat. As he was about to go, there was a knock on the door. It’s his classmate Peter in the same village. “Hey, Tom,” Peter said. “Do you think we should go to school today?” “I know it’s tough,” Tom replied, looking at the heavy snow outside, “but missing school means we’ll fall behind.” Finally, they decided to go to school. The snow had been falling for days, building up on the narrow path that led to school. Tom and Peter stepped out into the snowstorm, with boots sinking deep into the snow. Tom used his arms to push the snow away, and his heart was pounding as he worked hard. He fell down a few times, but each time he got up again. “I must go to school!” Tom said firmly. Thinking about the other kids in the village who insisted on going to school, he knew they were facing the same challenge. But they were all trying to learn and grow. The wind had blown snow all over the path, making it hard to see where they were going. Not far away, Tom heard someone crying from behind a tree. “Peter, do you hear that?” Tom asked in a puzzled tone. “Let’s go and have a look.” Peter answered. 注意： 1. 续写的词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As they got closer, they spotted that it was their classmate, Sarah. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a long journey, they finally arrived at the school gate. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 雅礼教育集团2025年下学期第三次月考试卷 高一英语 时量：120分钟 分值：150分 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the man going to do tonight?

Last year, I learned calligraphy. It was challenging, but it opened up many opportunities for self-expression. W: That’s impressive. Did you find it hard to stay motivated? M: Sometimes, yeah. But I treated it like a relaxing hobby rather than a chore. Plus, I joined an online calligraphy community where people shared tips. W: Great approach. Learning doesn’t always have to be formal education, right? M: Exactly! It could be anything — reading books, watching documentaries, or even participating in outdoor sports like biking. It might lead to a new career path or just be a fun creative outlet. Either way, you’re growing. W: Alright, I’m going to sign up for that course tonight. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17.

Visitors to the HaHaHouse in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, walk into a little cloud of white smoke when they step inside. Its purpose is to blow away their worries before they climb into a “giant washing machine”. Then they move down a twisting slide into a space filled with little white balls where their trip to a happier place starts. Forty-three-year-old Andrea Golubic is the museum’s creator. Golubic said she got the idea during the pandemic. At that time, many people were feeling down, so she wanted to heal people with laughter. Golubic said a picture of herself when she was seven inspired her. “I was constantly joking as a kid,” she added. The museum has eight interactive zones or areas. One has rubber chickens singing cheerfully. They sing songs like ABBA’s “Dancing Queen”. There is a room where people wrestle in large clothes. There is also some serious history of humor from ancient to modern times told through theaters, films or the Internet. Singer Zorica Bucic said the museum was just right for this era. “Entering here is like entering childhood, being relieved of all problems,” she said. Bucic added that if people could come to the museum often, they wouldn’t need to visit a psychologist. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Some Famous People With Surprising Achievements Hedy Lamarr—Wi-Fi Austrian-born film star Hedy Lamarr was a box-office hit during the Hollywood Golden Age in the late 1930s and early 1940s.During World War II, she worked on a torpedo guidance system which forms the basis of today's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi communications. Patented (获得专利权) in 1942 together with composer George Anthiel, their “frequency hopping” de-vice was used during the war. Surprisingly, neither Lamarr nor Anthiel profited from their invention during their lifetimes. Uri Geller—Radiation Shield (辐射防护屏) As an Israeli-British magician, Uri Geller is best-known for using “mind power” to bend spoons on live TV. However, a lesser-known achievement is his invention of a radiation shield to protect cell phone users from the radiation. Patented in 1998, the shield covers the device completely to protect users from the harmful effects of radiation from cell phones and other handheld devices. Jamie Lee Curtis—Baby Diaper (尿布) Jamie Lee Curtis was a screen legend. She has featured in many movies during her career. With a busy acting schedule, it's quite surprising that she found time to turn her hand to invention. Curtis actually patented a baby diaper during 1980s, aiming at improving the traditional diaper design. Gary Burghoff—Fishing Equipment American actor Gary Burghoff is best-known for his role in the 1970s'TV series M*A*S*H. Burghoff also has a gift for inventing things. He holds two patents for “Chum Magic,” a fishing device that draws fish toward the boat, as well as a fishing pole. 21. When did Uri Geller get the patent on his invention? A. In 1930. B. In 1940. C. In 1970. D. In 1998. 22. What do Hedy Lamarr and Jamie Lee Curtis have in common? A. They are actresses. B. They are magicians. C. They were born in Austria. D. They got their patents in 1980. 23. Whose patent is related to fishing? A. Hedy Lamarr's. B. Uri Geller's. C. Jamie Lee Curtis's. D. Gary Burghoff's. 【答案】21. D 22. A 23. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个名人和他们的发明。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Uri Geller—Radiation Shield(辐射防护屏)中最后一句“Patented in 1998, the shield covers the device completely to protect users from the harmful effects of radiation from cell phones and other handheld devices.( 该辐射防护屏于1998年获得专利，完全覆盖设备，保护用户免受手机和其他手持设备辐射的有害影响。)”可知，Uri Geller于1998年为他的发明辐射防护屏申请了专利。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Hedy Lamarr—Wi-Fi中前两句“Austrian-born film star Hedy Lamarr was a box-office hit …she worked on a torpedo guidance system which forms the basis of today's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi communications. (奥地利出生的电影明星Hedy Lamarr在上世纪30年代末和40年代初的好莱坞黄金时代(Hollywood Golden Age)票房大卖。二战期间，她致力于鱼雷制导系统的研究，该系统是今天蓝牙和Wi-Fi通信的基础。)和Jamie Lee Curtis—Baby Diaper(尿布)中前两句“Jamie Lee Curtis was a screen legend. She has featured in many movies during her career.( Jamie Lee Curtis是银幕传奇。在她的演艺生涯中，她出演了许多电影。)”可知，Hedy Lamarr 和Jamie Lee Curtis 都是女演员。故选A。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Gary Burghoff—Fishing Equipment中最后一句“He holds two patents for “Chum Magic,” a fishing device that draws fish toward the boat, as well as a fishing pole.( 他拥有“Chum Magic”的两项专利，这是一种把鱼拉向船的钓鱼装置，以及一根钓鱼竿。)可知，Gary Burghoff的发明专利和捕鱼有关。故选D。 B A handwritten obituary (讣告) for a hippo by a zookeeper in East China’s Nanjing has spread quickly as it detailed the hippo’s life, moving both zoo visitors and netizens alike. “On January 18, hippo Fei Fei passed away due to a lung infection (感染) caused by asthma, leaving his wife Jin Jin at the exhibition zone,” read the notice handwritten by an animal keeper in Hongshan Forest Zoo. According to the obituary, Fei Fei was born in 1997 and had lived in the zoo since it opened in 1998. Fei Fei, who never got sick, was found to dive shorter and was diagnosed with asthma in March 2021. His condition kept worsening despite regular medical care, the notice said. “The skin on his legs began to rot...Fearing infection, I changed his water daily and carefully applied medicine to each wound. However, he still left, taking away my three years of hopes,” read the notice. “We will not forget the great contributions Fei Fei made to the hippo population and we value the 27 years he spent with us,” read the obituary. The zoo has started to design and will soon build a new exhibition zone with a large hippo house, a powerful filtration system, a simulated African ecological environment, alongside other African animals for companionship, the obituary added. It is customary for the zoo to write obituaries for certain animals that pass away. The words in the obituary are simple and sincere, reflecting the deep relationship between the keeper and the animal, one netizen wrote. In January 2023, the zoo penned an obituary for sun bear Lao Ma, thinking back to the 33-year-old animal’s moments at the zoo. 24. Why has the handwritten obituary for Fei Fei spread quickly? A. It’s written by a famous person. B. It announced the opening of a new zone. C. It detailed the hippo’s life and moved people. D. It’s the first obituary for an animal in the zoo. 25.

Unaware of the slight increase in heat, it will stay put until — well, until it dies. When it comes to the effect of rising global temperatures on amphibians (两栖动物), the frog-boiling fable is more than just a metaphor (隐喻). Climate change is becoming one of the biggest threats to frogs and other amphibians, according to a major study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Between 2004 and 2022, rising temperatures became the primary reason why more than 100 amphibian species were slipping toward extinction. The spread of disease among frogs and the destruction of their habitats have long been recognized as reasons why many amphibians are decreasing. But this new study establishes climate change as a major risk for amphibians around the world, too. The soft-skinned animals lack the fur and feathers to help adjust their temperature in this hotter and more drought-stricken world. Less attention is paid to frogs and other amphibians compared to more well-known groups like birds. But losing amphibians would be disastrous because they often act as a key link in the food web of ecosystems, wolfing insects down and, in turn, being eaten by larger predators (捕食者).“Without those amphibians to fill that role, we will see the breakdown of this food web,” said Neam, who works for an Austin-based environmental group. Luckily habitat protection and other conservation measures have been taken to help recover more than five dozen amphibians from Costa Rica to Malaysia. “It’s not all bad news,” said Jennifer Luedtke, an amphibian group leader of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. “But we really must build on this improvement and significantly increase investment in amphibian conservation.” 28. How is the topic introduced? A. By listing facts. B. By explaining ideas. C. By sharing a story. D. By raising a question. 29. What is the main reason for the decrease of amphibians according to the new study? A. The spread of disease. B. The loss of habitats. C. The rise of temperature. D. The lack of feathers. 30. What will happen if the number of amphibians decreases? A. The food chain will be destroyed. B. Wolves will depend more on insects. C. Predators will be the key role of the web. D. The ecosystem will become more diverse. 31. How does Luedtke feel about the future of amphibians? A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Uncertain. D. Curious. 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现气候变化在导致两栖动物数量减少，分析了两栖动物数量减少会带来的影响。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Everyone knows this: Slowly turn up the heat on a frog in a pot of water, and the frog won’t hop out. Unaware of the slight increase in heat, it will stay put until — well, until it dies. When it comes to the effect of rising global temperatures on amphibians (两栖动物), the frog-boiling fable is more than just a metaphor (隐喻).(每个人都知道这一点：在一锅水里慢慢地给青蛙加热，青蛙不会跳出来。没有意识到热量的轻微增加，它会一直呆在那里，直到——嗯，直到它死去。当谈到全球气温上升对两栖动物的影响时，煮青蛙的寓言不仅仅是一个比喻)”可知，文章通过分享故事引入。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Between 2004 and 2022, rising temperatures became the primary reason why more than 100 amphibian species were slipping toward extinction.(2004年至2022年间，气温上升成为100多种两栖动物濒临灭绝的主要原因)”可知，根据这项新研究，导致两栖动物数量减少的主要原因是温度的升高。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Less attention is paid to frogs and other amphibians compared to more well-known groups like birds. But losing amphibians would be disastrous because they often act as a key link in the food web of ecosystems, wolfing insects down and, in turn, being eaten by larger predators (捕食者).“Without those amphibians to fill that role, we will see the breakdown of this food web,” said Neam, who works for an Austin-based environmental group.(与鸟类等更知名的群体相比，青蛙和其他两栖动物受到的关注较少。但是失去两栖动物将是灾难性的，因为它们通常是生态系统食物网的关键环节，它们吞噬昆虫，反过来又被更大的捕食者吃掉。“没有这些两栖动物来填补这个角色，我们将看到这个食物网的崩溃，”在奥斯汀一家环境组织工作的尼姆说)”可知，如果两栖动物的数量减少，食物链将被破坏。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据““It’s not all bad news,” said Jennifer Luedtke, an amphibian group leader with the International Union for Conservation of Nature. “But we really must build on this improvement and significantly increase investment in amphibian conservation.”(“也不全是坏消息，”国际自然保护联盟两栖动物小组负责人珍妮弗·吕德克说。“但我们真的必须在这一改善的基础上，大幅增加对两栖动物保护的投资。”)”可知，吕德克对两栖动物的未来充满希望。故选B。 D The design theory behind a pair of tiny robots may one day find its way into environmental monitoring, as well as search and-rescue tasks. Modeled after a water strider (水黾), an insect, the two robots each weigh in at 8 and 55 milligrams, and may mark the smallest, lightest, and fastest fully functional micro-robots in the world, according to Washington State University (WSU). Developed by a team of WSU researchers, the robots’ tininess largely relies on a material known as a shape memory alloy (合金). Although shape memory alloys change form when heated, they can “remember” their original shapes and return to them after cooling. Because of this, the two micro-robots do not require standard motors, and they use light and small ones instead of bulky moving parts. Both the robots’ motors are each made up of two shape memory alloys, allowing them to move their fins as fast as 40 times a second while also lifting over 150 times their weight. “They’re very technologically sound. The development of the very lightweight robots opens up new possibilities in micro-robotics,” said Conor Trygstad, a material engineering PhD student and study lead author. “Although the robots are impressive when compared to other robots, the pair still fall behind their biological relatives’,” Trygstad said. They can currently move at a speed of about six millimeters a second; a water strider, by comparison, speeds along at about a meter per second. For now, the robots also require wired (连线的) power sources, thus seriously preventing any real-world applications for the moment. Going forward, however, the team plans to copy other small insect species while also creating a new water strider robot which can move at a higher speed. Depending on using small batteries could also greatly increase the robots’ areas of use, If the breakthrough designs continue improving, similar micro-robots could one day be employed to monitor hard-to-reachor dangerous environments. 32. What is the inspiration for the two robots? A. A special monitor. B. The lightest micro robot. C. An insect species. D. A search-and rescue task 33. What does the underlined word “bulky” mean in paragraph 2? A. Cheap. B. Huge. C. Cool D. Fast. 34. What might Conor Trygstad agree with? A. Both robots can identify sound. B. Both robots need wireless power sources. C. Both robots work better than water striders. D. Both robots have weaknesses besides strengths. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Robots Are Saving Environment B. Shape Memory Alloys Are The Key C. Human Beings Learn From Animals D. Two Micro robots Can Play A Big Part 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一个研究团队从一种昆虫——水黾身上得到了灵感，开发了两个微型机器人，它们能够应用于环境监测、搜救等工作。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Modeled after a water strider (水黾), an insect, the two robots each weigh in at 8 and 55 milligrams, and may mark the smallest, lightest, and fastest fully functional micro-robots in the world, according to Washington State University (WSU).(根据华盛顿州立大学的说法，这两个机器人以水黾和昆虫为模型，各重8毫克和55毫克，可能是世界上最小、最轻、最快的全功能微型机器人)”可知，这两个机器人的灵感是昆虫种类。故选C。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“the two micro-robots do not require standard motors, and they use light and small ones instead of”可知，这两个微型机器人不需要标准的马达，它们使用轻而小的马达代替巨大沉重的运动部件。故划线词意思是“巨大的”。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““Although the robots are impressive when compared to other robots, the pair still fall behind their biological relatives’,” Trygstad said. They can currently move at a speed of about six millimeters a second; a water strider, by comparison, speeds along at about a meter per second.(特里格斯塔德说：“尽管与其他机器人相比，这两个机器人令人印象深刻，但它们仍然落后于它们的生物学亲戚。”它们目前的移动速度约为每秒6毫米；相比之下，水黾的速度约为每秒一米)”可知，Conor Trygstad认为两个机器人除了优点之外都有缺点。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The design theory behind a pair of tiny robots may one day find its way into environmental monitoring, as well as search and-rescue tasks.(一对微型机器人背后的设计理论可能有一天会用于环境监测，以及搜索和救援任务)”结合文章主要说明了一个研究团队从一种昆虫——水黾身上得到了灵感，开发了两个微型机器人，它们能够应用于环境监测、搜救等工作。可知，D选项“两个微型机器人可以大有作为”最符合文章标题。故选D。 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。 Orienteering: My Life-long Passion Orienteering is a timed event across a mostly natural landscape, where participants navigate through a series of checkpoints along the way.

But for Tom, who lived in a remote village, it meant a dangerous journey through strong winds and piles of snow. It was a cold morning. The snow blanketed every rooftop and weighed on the branches of big trees. Tom woke up early, with the howling wind outside his small cabin (小木屋). He put on lots of clothes, including his thickest wool socks and warmest coat. As he was about to go, there was a knock on the door. It’s his classmate Peter in the same village. “Hey, Tom,” Peter said. “Do you think we should go to school today?” “I know it’s tough,” Tom replied, looking at the heavy snow outside, “but missing school means we’ll fall behind.” Finally, they decided to go to school. The snow had been falling for days, building up on the narrow path that led to school. Tom and Peter stepped out into the snowstorm, with boots sinking deep into the snow. Tom used his arms to push the snow away, and his heart was pounding as he worked hard. He fell down a few times, but each time he got up again. “I must go to school!” Tom said firmly. Thinking about the other kids in the village who insisted on going to school, he knew they were facing the same challenge. But they were all trying to learn and grow. The wind had blown snow all over the path, making it hard to see where they were going. Not far away, Tom heard someone crying from behind a tree. “Peter, do you hear that?” Tom asked in a puzzled tone. “Let’s go and have a look.” Peter answered. 注意： 1. 续写的词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As they got closer, they spotted that it was their classmate, Sarah. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a long journey, they finally arrived at the school gate. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As they got closer, they spotted that it was their classmate, Sarah.

After a long journey, they finally arrived at the school gates. The snow glistened in the light as they walked into the warm classroom, where their classmates and teacher waiting for them anxiously. The teacher gave them a thumbs up and Sarah said, “I couldn’t thank you enough.” Touched deeply, the class burst into thunderous applause with smiles and cheers.
