A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了2025年科幻小说驻留项目的相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Overview部分“During the two-week residency, science fiction writers can take advantage of one-on-one mentorship opportunities, which is typical of our programme.(在为期两周的驻留期间，科幻小说作家可以利用一对一的指导机会，这是我们项目的典型特点。)”可知，科幻小说驻留项目的特别之处是提供一对一的指导机会。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Requirements部分“The residency is designed to cater (迎合) to experienced, professional writers with a publication record looking to explore the future of Science Fiction writing and focus on works in progress.(这个驻留项目旨在满足有出版记录、希望探索科幻小说写作未来并专注于正在进行中的作品的有经验的专业作家的需求。)”和Eligibility (资格)部分“Applicants must be ages 18+ at the time of the programme start date.(申请者在项目开始日期时必须年满18岁。)”可知，这个驻留项目是为那些正在创作作品且至少18岁的人设计的。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Visa Eligibility Information部分“If you are accepted into our programme, you must obtain a Visitor Visa to enter Canada at first.(如果你被我们的项目录取，你必须首先获得访问签证才能进入加拿大。)”可知，如果一个来自英国的人被该项目录取，他首先应该拥有进入加拿大的访问签证。故选A。 B From the backseat of the Uber I was driving, two teenage boys sat, absorbed in their phones. I could hear every word each phone spread. Neither passenger appeared to be troubled by the competing content of the other’s, but I could no longer hear the Uber navigation’s (导航的) directions. I asked of anyone who could hear me in the car, “Excuse me, do you have earbuds?” “No...” “OK, may I ask you to please turn down the volume? I just can’t hear the driving directions.” They both accepted, but I could not help but think of a word to explain this behaviour. I call it Blasterbating — one part projecting at a high volume, one part selfsatisfaction. Blasterbating is the loud consumption of digital content that is only intended for oneself, not caring about the fact that the people around you may not be so happy. Blasterbaters are everywhere. Constantly, I am met with a string of attacks on the subway, in airports, and in the back of my Uber, greatly influencing the surrounding people. To be sure, this is not the busking in the past, with street corner entertainers providing boom box beats for all to enjoy. This is rudeness, for which there is a solution — headphones, which almost all cellphones purchased now include. But we are not struggling to find an untraceable (难寻觅的) pair of earphones. We are struggling to discover our manners — and even to agree what the etiquette (礼仪) is. People should not only turn down the voice, but be minor player on a major stage. Because of this relatively rapid adoption of cellphones' prime place in modern life, questions of good manners are often vague. But I believe we can hold up a mirror to our use of them and make changes accordingly. I want the same annoyance people feel when called out for picking their nose in public to be their lot with blasterbating. 4. Why does the author mention his experience in Paragraphs 1-4? A. To voice worries. B. To express dissatisfaction. C. To offer a suggestion. D. To lead in the topic. 5. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about blasterbating? A. Its meaning and universality. B. Its common cause. C. Its background. D. Its lasting value. 6. What’s the solution to blasterbating in author’s opinion? A To just turn down the cellphones. B. To promote more civilized behaviour. C. To equip passengers with headphones on board. D. To provide a mirror for Uber passengers. 7. What’s the author’s attitude towards blasterbating? A. Unconcerned. B. Critical. C. Understanding. D. Tolerant. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文讲述了作者在开车时遇到两位青少年乘客大声播放手机内容，影响了导航的声音，由此作者引出了“Blasterbating”这一概念，并对此进行了讨论。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“From the backseat of the Uber I was driving, two teenage boys sat, absorbed in their phones. I could hear every word each phone spread. Neither passenger appeared to be troubled by the competing content of the other’s, but I could no longer hear the Uber navigation’s directions.(在我开的优步车的后座上，坐着两个十几岁的男孩，他们全神贯注地看着手机。我能听到每个手机发出的每一个字。两位乘客似乎都没有被对方手机的内容所困扰，但我再也听不到优步导航的指示了。)”；第二段“I asked of anyone who could hear me in the car, “Excuse me, do you have earbuds?”(我问车里能听到我说话的任何人：“对不起，你有耳塞吗？”)”；第三段“‘No…’(“没有……”)”；第四段““OK, may I ask you to please turn down the volume? I just can’t hear the driving directions.”(“好的，能请你把音量调小一点吗？我实在听不清导航指示了。”)”和第五段““They both accepted, but I could not help but think of a word to explain this behaviour. I call it Blasterbating — one part projecting at a high volume, one part selfsatisfaction. Blasterbating is the loud consumption of digital content that is only intended for oneself, not caring about the fact that the people around you may not be so happy.(他们都接受了，但我不禁想到一个词来解释这种行为。我称之为“Blasterbating”——一部分是高音量播放，一部分是自我满足。“Blasterbating”是指大声消费只为自己准备的数字内容，而不关心周围的人可能并不那么高兴的事实。)”可知，作者在1-4段中提到他的经历是为了引出“Blasterbating”这一话题。故选D。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“They both accepted, but I could not help but think of a word to explain this behaviour. I call it Blasterbating — one part projecting at a high volume, one part selfsatisfaction. Blasterbating is the loud consumption of digital content that is only intended for oneself, not caring about the fact that the people around you may not be so happy. Blasterbaters are everywhere. Constantly, I am met with a string of attacks on the subway, in airports, and in the back of my Uber, greatly influencing the surrounding people.(他们都接受了，但我不禁想到一个词来解释这种行为。我称之为“Blasterbating”——一部分是高音量播放，一部分是自我满足。“Blasterbating”是指大声消费只为自己准备的数字内容，而不关心周围的人可能并不那么高兴的事实。“Blasterbating”者无处不在。在地铁上、在机场里、在我开的优步车的后座上，我经常遇到一系列的“Blasterbating”行为，这极大地影响了周围的人。)”可知，第五段主要讲述了“Blasterbating”的含义和普遍性。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“To be sure, this is not the busking in the past, with street corner entertainers providing boom box beats for all to enjoy. This is rudeness, for which there is a solution — headphones, which almost all cellphones purchased now include.(可以肯定的是，这与过去街头艺人在街角为所有人提供轰鸣的节奏来欣赏的卖艺不同。这是粗鲁的行为，有一个解决办法——耳机，现在几乎所有购买的手机都配有耳机。)”和第七段“But we are not struggling to find an untraceable pair of earphones. We are struggling to discover our manners — and even to agree what the etiquette is. People should not only turn down the voice, but be minor player on a major stage.(但我们并不是在努力寻找一副难以追踪的耳机。我们正在努力发现我们的礼仪——甚至就礼仪是什么达成一致。人们不仅应该调低音量，还应该在大舞台上扮演小角色。)”可知，作者认为“Blasterbating”的解决方法是提倡更文明的行为。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I want the same annoyance people feel when called out for picking their nose in public to be their lot with blasterbating.(我希望人们在公共场合挖鼻孔时所感受到的同样的烦恼，也能成为他们在“Blasterbating”时的烦恼。)”可知，作者对“Blasterbating”的态度是批判的。故选B。 C The number of pandas, which in 2016 went from being an endangered species to a vulnerable (脆弱的) species, has grown steadily in recent years, partly thanks to the reintroduction of specimens born in captivity (圈养) trained from day one to return to nature. The first phase of the process begins in the first year of life in an area of between 2,000 sqm and 3,000 sqm. This allows researchers to monitor them more easily, observe them and minimize the damage they may suffer. During this period, the panda cubs learn to find water sources, something essential for their survival. In the second phase, once they turn 1, the pandas’ diet changes and besides mother’s milk they need bamboo. They will learn to find bamboo, how to stay away from their natural enemies and how to seek shelter to avoid danger and all this training is done spontaneously (自发地), and human intervention is minimal. The area where they move expands to several thousand square metres, a surface similar to that of the habitat when they live in nature in the wild. After those training and final physical examination, captive pandas are well-prepared to explore the wild world. When they go back to the wild, they wear collars that usually break up after 18 months. Mu Shijie is a wildlife conservation expert. He is backed by a wild giant panda monitoring “Dream Team”, whose daily duty is to keep a close eye on the giant pandas in the wild world and captive giant pandas to be released. “After decades of work, it is clear that the future of pandas and their forest home depends on even greater efforts, especially with the increasing impact of climate change,” researches said. 8. What changes do captive pandas experience in the second phase? A. They feed on bamboo instead of milk. B. They are almost independent of humans’ much involvement. C. They can set up a shelter to protect themselves. D. They are able to scare their natural enemies away. 9. What’s the main duty of Dream Team? A. To offer Mu Shijie enough support. B. To save more endangered species. C. To observe pandas’ collars for 18 months. D. To monitor the wild and captive giant pandas. 10. What do researchers expect to convey in the last paragraph? A. More efforts need to be made to save pandas. B. Climate change leads to pandas’ dying out. C. Many years of work on saving pandas is ineffective. D. People are to blame for damage to pandas’ forest home. 11. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A fiction novel. B. A government report. C. A geography book. D. A science magazine. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了圈养大熊猫野化训练的两个阶段、放归自然的过程以及科研人员对熊猫保护的持续努力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In the second phase, once they turn 1, the pandas’ diet changes and besides mother’s milk they need bamboo. They will learn to find bamboo, how to stay away from their natural enemies and how to seek shelter to avoid danger and all this training is done spontaneously (自发地), and human intervention is minimal. (在第二阶段，一旦熊猫长到一岁，它们的饮食就会发生变化，除了母乳，它们还需要竹子。它们将学会寻找竹子，如何远离天敌，以及如何寻找庇护所以避免危险，所有这些训练都是自发进行的，人类的干预很少。)”可知，圈养熊猫在第二阶段几乎不需要人类的过多参与。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Mu Shijie is a wildlife conservation expert. He is backed by a wild giant panda monitoring “Dream Team”, whose daily duty is to keep a close eye on the giant pandas in the wild world and captive giant pandas to be released. (穆世杰是一名野生动物保护专家。他得到了一个野生大熊猫监测“梦之队”的支持，该团队的日常工作是密切关注野生世界的大熊猫和即将放归的圈养大熊猫。)”可知，“梦之队”的主要职责是监测野生和圈养大熊猫。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““After decades of work, it is clear that the future of pandas and their forest home depends on even greater efforts, especially with the increasing impact of climate change,” researches said. (研究人员表示：“经过几十年的努力，很明显，熊猫及其森林家园的未来取决于更大的努力，尤其是在气候变化影响日益加剧的情况下。”)”可推知，研究人员在最后一段想表达的是需要付出更多的努力来拯救熊猫。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The number of pandas, which in 2016 went from being an endangered species to a vulnerable (脆弱的) species, has grown steadily in recent years, partly thanks to the reintroduction of specimens born in captivity (圈养) trained from day one to return to nature. (大熊猫的数量在2016年从濒危物种变成了易危物种，近年来一直在稳步增长，部分原因是重新引入了圈养出生的大熊猫，它们从第一天起就被训练回归自然。)”结合全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了圈养大熊猫被放归野外之前所接受的训练以及研究人员对拯救大熊猫的看法，属于科学保护领域的内容。可推知，文章选自一本科学杂志。故选D。 D Whether it’s a friendly game on a neighbourhood court or a professional match, the heart of basketball is a reliable ball. Though it seems like a simple object, it can be subject to innovation. Wilson, the company that produces the official NBA game basketball, has introduced what could be the future of sports gear — a 3D-printed airless basketball prototype. While it has a futuristic appearance, the goal is for it to look, feel, and bounce like a regular ball. The “airless” part refers to how this ball doesn’t need to be filled with air. And best of all, its unique structure and research-grade materials replicate the bouncing capabilities of a regular basketball. “This is a ball unlike anything we’ve ever seen designed to play like the basketballs we’ve always known,” says Wilson. To create the prototype, the teams from Wilson Labs worked with General Lattice, who provided computational design services; DyeMansion, who gave it its black colour and finishing touches; and EOS, the leading global provider of industrial 3D-printing solutions for metals and plastics. Unlike other 3D-printing machines, EOS took a bed of white powdered resin and hardened it by laser, producing thin stacked layers that allowed the final product to be extremely detailed. “The first-of-its-kind 3D-printed ball is truly playable, nearly fitting the performance specifications of a regulation basketball, including its weight, size, and rebound(bounce),” Wilson states. The 3D-printed basketball made its debut during the first round the 2023Slam Dunk contest, as it was used by Houston Rockets player Kenyon Martin Jr. Its function was put to the test while adding to the theatricality of the competition by arriving in a glass box. The drama was heightened even further by its coloration matching the player’s black uniform. Though it was used during an NBA event, the league won’t make the switch from leather-based to 3D-printed balls for the time being, nor will this innovative new ball be hitting store shelves any time soon. 12. What is Wilson’s aim of a 3 D-printed airless basketball? A. To improve future science and technology. B. To present basketballs’ futuristic look. C. To turn balls into more reliable balls. D. To make it function like regular balls in many ways. 13. What does the underlined word “replicate” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Copy. B. Simplify. C. Highlight. D. Innovate. 14. How does the league react to the 3D-printed balls? A. It continues using traditional balls. B. It encourages the market to accept them. C. It applies them to add drama in the competitions. D. It puts their function to the test any time soon. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. 3D-Printed Technology Has a Bright Future B. The Most Promising 3D-Printed Sports Products at the Design Stage C 3D-Printed Balls Save More Energy D. Wilson Introduces the First-Ever 3D-Printed Airless Basketball 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。Wilson公司推出首款3D打印无气篮球原型，其外观和性能接近传统篮球，已在NBA扣篮大赛亮相，但暂未普及。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“While it has a futuristic appearance, the goal is for it to look, feel, and bounce like a regular ball.(虽然它的外观颇具未来感，但其设计的最终目的是要使其看起来、摸起来以及弹跳起来都与普通球一样)”可知，威尔逊设计这款 3D 打印无气篮球的目的是为了让它在很多方面都能像普通篮球那样正常使用。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“the bouncing capabilities of a regular basketball (与普通篮球相同的弹跳能力)”以及“This is a ball unlike anything we’ve ever seen designed to play like the basketballs we’ve always known(这是一款与众不同的球，其设计初衷就是为了能像我们所熟知的篮球那样打球)”可知，replicate在上下文中意为“复制”，强调模仿原有功能，故划线词意思是“复制”。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Though it was used during an NBA event, the league won’t make the switch from leather-based to 3D-printed balls for the time being, nor will this innovative new ball be hitting store shelves any time soon.(虽然这种球曾在一场NBA比赛中使用过，但联盟目前不会将使用皮革材质球改为使用 3D 打印球，而且这种创新的新球短期内也不会出现在商店货架上)”可知，NBA联盟继续使用传统篮球，故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Wilson, the company that produces the official NBA game basketball, has introduced what could be the future of sports gear — a 3D-printed airless basketball prototype.(生产NBA官方比赛用篮球的威尔逊公司推出了可能引领体育装备未来发展的产品——一款 3D 打印的无气篮球原型)”以及文章主要说明了Wilson公司推出首款3D打印无气篮球原型，其外观和性能接近传统篮球，已在NBA扣篮大赛亮相，但暂未普及。可知，D选项“威尔逊推出了史上首款3D打印无气篮球”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。 Being a child involves dealing with new issues almost every day and learning how to overcome your fears.

However, he had a habit of looking for shortcuts. He believed that hard work was unnecessary and that clever tricks could help him achieve his goals more easily. One day, Tom’s science teacher announced a science competition organized by the school. The winner would receive a scholarship to a summer camp. Tom was excited but didn’t want to put in the effort to create a truly original project. Instead, he decided to take a shortcut. He found an old project online, copied it, and made a few slight changes to make it look new. Tom’s best friend, Sarah, noticed what he was doing. She was a hard-working girl who always believed in doing things the right way. She tried to talk to Tom, telling him that copying someone else’s work was dishonest and that he should be proud of his own efforts. But Tom dismissed her concerns, thinking he was smart enough to get away with it. The day of the competition arrived. Tom presented his project with confidence, hoping to impress the judges. At first, it seemed like his plan was working. The judges were impressed by the project and asked Tom many questions. But as the questions got more detailed, Tom began to stumble (结结巴巴). He didn’t truly understand the project because it wasn’t his own work. The judges started to look suspicious (怀疑的), and Tom’s heart sank. After the competition, the judges announced that they needed more time to make their decision. Tom felt a mix of relief and anxiety. He hoped that the judges wouldn’t figure out the truth, but deep down, he knew he had done something wrong. That evening, Tom couldn’t sleep. He kept thinking about what Sarah had told him and how he had ignored her advice. He realized that his actions were not only dishonest but also unfair to the other competitors who had worked hard on their projects. Tom decided that he needed to come clean and apologize for what he had done. 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。 The next morning, Tom went to school early and found his science teacher. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few days later, the judges announced the winner of the competition. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next morning, Tom went to school early and found his science teacher. With a trembling voice, he confessed everything: how he had copied the project online and only made minor changes. He apologized sincerely for his dishonesty and unfairness to others. He explained how guilty he felt after the competition and Sarah’s words. To his surprise, the teacher listened patiently. While disappointed, the teacher appreciated Tom’s courage to admit his mistake. He explained that honesty and genuine effort were more important than winning. A few days later, the judges announced the winner of the competition. Tom held his breath, expecting disqualification or punishment. However, the judges first commended Sarah’s original and well-presented project, awarding her the scholarship. Then, they addressed Tom’s situation. They acknowledged his late confession and emphasized the importance of academic integrity. While he couldn’t win due to plagiarism, they recognized his bravery in admitting fault and encouraged him to learn from this experience. Tom felt relieved and determined to work hard next time. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了聪明但爱走捷径的Tom为了赢得科学竞赛奖学金，抄袭了网上一个旧项目并稍作修改。在比赛中，他因对项目不熟悉而结结巴巴，引起评委怀疑。赛后，Tom在朋友劝告和内心挣扎后最终坦白错误，并从中学会诚实与努力的重要性。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Tom一大早就去学校找科学老师。”可知，第一段可描写他坦白抄袭行为、表达悔意以及老师的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“几天后比赛结果公布。”可知，第二段可描写比赛结果揭晓的过程，包括Sarah获奖、Tom因抄袭未能得奖但因其诚实受到鼓励的情节。 2.续写线索：坦白错误——接受后果——结果公布——他人获奖——评价Tom的行为——获得精神鼓励与成长启示 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①坦白：confess → admit/acknowledge ②道歉：apologize → make an apology/say sorry ③屏住呼吸：held his breath → catch one's breath/breathe tensely 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise → amazement/astonishment ②坚决：determined → firm/resolute 【点睛】【高分句型1】He explained that honesty and genuine effort were more important than winning.

B From the backseat of the Uber I was driving, two teenage boys sat, absorbed in their phones. I could hear every word each phone spread. Neither passenger appeared to be troubled by the competing content of the other’s, but I could no longer hear the Uber navigation’s (导航的) directions. I asked of anyone who could hear me in the car, “Excuse me, do you have earbuds?” “No...” “OK, may I ask you to please turn down the volume? I just can’t hear the driving directions.” They both accepted, but I could not help but think of a word to explain this behaviour. I call it Blasterbating — one part projecting at a high volume, one part selfsatisfaction. Blasterbating is the loud consumption of digital content that is only intended for oneself, not caring about the fact that the people around you may not be so happy. Blasterbaters are everywhere. Constantly, I am met with a string of attacks on the subway, in airports, and in the back of my Uber, greatly influencing the surrounding people. To be sure, this is not the busking in the past, with street corner entertainers providing boom box beats for all to enjoy. This is rudeness, for which there is a solution — headphones, which almost all cellphones purchased now include. But we are not struggling to find an untraceable (难寻觅的) pair of earphones. We are struggling to discover our manners — and even to agree what the etiquette (礼仪) is. People should not only turn down the voice, but be minor player on a major stage. Because of this relatively rapid adoption of cellphones' prime place in modern life, questions of good manners are often vague. But I believe we can hold up a mirror to our use of them and make changes accordingly. I want the same annoyance people feel when called out for picking their nose in public to be their lot with blasterbating. 4. Why does the author mention his experience in Paragraphs 1-4? A. To voice worries. B. To express dissatisfaction. C. To offer a suggestion. D. To lead in the topic. 5. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about blasterbating? A. Its meaning and universality. B. Its common cause. C Its background. D. Its lasting value. 6. What’s the solution to blasterbating in author’s opinion? A. To just turn down the cellphones. B. To promote more civilized behaviour. C. To equip passengers with headphones on board. D. To provide a mirror for Uber passengers. 7. What’s the author’s attitude towards blasterbating? A. Unconcerned. B. Critical. C. Understanding. D. Tolerant. C The number of pandas, which in 2016 went from being an endangered species to a vulnerable (脆弱的) species, has grown steadily in recent years, partly thanks to the reintroduction of specimens born in captivity (圈养) trained from day one to return to nature. The first phase of the process begins in the first year of life in an area of between 2,000 sqm and 3,000 sqm. This allows researchers to monitor them more easily, observe them and minimize the damage they may suffer. During this period, the panda cubs learn to find water sources, something essential for their survival. In the second phase, once they turn 1, the pandas’ diet changes and besides mother’s milk they need bamboo. They will learn to find bamboo, how to stay away from their natural enemies and how to seek shelter to avoid danger and all this training is done spontaneously (自发地), and human intervention is minimal. The area where they move expands to several thousand square metres, a surface similar to that of the habitat when they live in nature in the wild. After those training and final physical examination, captive pandas are well-prepared to explore the wild world. When they go back to the wild, they wear collars that usually break up after 18 months. Mu Shijie is a wildlife conservation expert. He is backed by a wild giant panda monitoring “Dream Team”, whose daily duty is to keep a close eye on the giant pandas in the wild world and captive giant pandas to be released. “After decades of work, it is clear that the future of pandas and their forest home depends on even greater efforts, especially with the increasing impact of climate change,” researches said. 8. What changes do captive pandas experience in the second phase? A. They feed on bamboo instead of milk. B. They are almost independent of humans’ much involvement. C. They can set up a shelter to protect themselves. D. They are able to scare their natural enemies away. 9. What’s the main duty of Dream Team? A. To offer Mu Shijie enough support. B. To save more endangered species. C. To observe pandas’ collars for 18 months. D. To monitor the wild and captive giant pandas. 10. What do researchers expect to convey in the last paragraph? A. More efforts need to be made to save pandas. B. Climate change leads to pandas’ dying out. C. Many years of work on saving pandas is ineffective. D. People are to blame for damage to pandas’ forest home. 11. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A fiction novel. B. A government report. C. A geography book. D. A science magazine. D Whether it’s a friendly game on a neighbourhood court or a professional match, the heart of basketball is a reliable ball. Though it seems like a simple object, it can be subject to innovation. Wilson, the company that produces the official NBA game basketball, has introduced what could be the future of sports gear — a 3D-printed airless basketball prototype. While it has a futuristic appearance, the goal is for it to look, feel, and bounce like a regular ball. The “airless” part refers to how this ball doesn’t need to be filled with air. And best of all, its unique structure and research-grade materials replicate the bouncing capabilities of a regular basketball. “This is a ball unlike anything we’ve ever seen designed to play like the basketballs we’ve always known,” says Wilson. To create the prototype, the teams from Wilson Labs worked with General Lattice, who provided computational design services; DyeMansion, who gave it its black colour and finishing touches; and EOS, the leading global provider of industrial 3D-printing solutions for metals and plastics. Unlike other 3D-printing machines, EOS took a bed of white powdered resin and hardened it by laser, producing thin stacked layers that allowed the final product to be extremely detailed. “The first-of-its-kind 3D-printed ball is truly playable, nearly fitting the performance specifications of a regulation basketball, including its weight, size, and rebound(bounce),” Wilson states. The 3D-printed basketball made its debut during the first round the 2023Slam Dunk contest, as it was used by Houston Rockets player Kenyon Martin Jr. Its function was put to the test while adding to the theatricality of the competition by arriving in a glass box. The drama was heightened even further by its coloration matching the player’s black uniform. Though it was used during an NBA event, the league won’t make the switch from leather-based to 3D-printed balls for the time being, nor will this innovative new ball be hitting store shelves any time soon. 12. What is Wilson’s aim of a 3 D-printed airless basketball? A. To improve future science and technology. B. To present basketballs’ futuristic look. C To turn balls into more reliable balls. D. To make it function like regular balls in many ways. 13. What does the underlined word “replicate” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Copy. B. Simplify. C. Highlight. D. Innovate. 14. How does the league react to the 3D-printed balls? A. It continues using traditional balls. B. It encourages the market to accept them. C. It applies them to add drama in the competitions. D. It puts their function to the test any time soon. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. 3D-Printed Technology Has a Bright Future B. The Most Promising 3D-Printed Sports Products at the Design Stage C. 3D-Printed Balls Save More Energy D. Wilson Introduces the First-Ever 3D-Printed Airless Basketball 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。 Being a child involves dealing with new issues almost every day and learning how to overcome your fears.

Tom was bright and had a talent for understanding things quickly. However, he had a habit of looking for shortcuts. He believed that hard work was unnecessary and that clever tricks could help him achieve his goals more easily. One day, Tom’s science teacher announced a science competition organized by the school. The winner would receive a scholarship to a summer camp. Tom was excited but didn’t want to put in the effort to create a truly original project. Instead, he decided to take a shortcut. He found an old project online, copied it, and made a few slight changes to make it look new. Tom’s best friend, Sarah, noticed what he was doing. She was a hard-working girl who always believed in doing things the right way. She tried to talk to Tom, telling him that copying someone else’s work was dishonest and that he should be proud of his own efforts. But Tom dismissed her concerns, thinking he was smart enough to get away with it. The day of the competition arrived. Tom presented his project with confidence, hoping to impress the judges. At first, it seemed like his plan was working. The judges were impressed by the project and asked Tom many questions. But as the questions got more detailed, Tom began to stumble (结结巴巴). He didn’t truly understand the project because it wasn’t his own work. The judges started to look suspicious (怀疑的), and Tom’s heart sank. After the competition, the judges announced that they needed more time to make their decision. Tom felt a mix of relief and anxiety. He hoped that the judges wouldn’t figure out the truth, but deep down, he knew he had done something wrong. That evening, Tom couldn’t sleep. He kept thinking about what Sarah had told him and how he had ignored her advice. He realized that his actions were not only dishonest but also unfair to the other competitors who had worked hard on their projects. Tom decided that he needed to come clean and apologize for what he had done. 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。 The next morning, Tom went to school early and found his science teacher. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few days later, the judges announced the winner of the competition. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
