It also joined up with RAPDS, which provided healthcare services in Zambia to fight the spread of AIDS. Other regions of the world have been provided with bicycles for community development and general improvement of lives. The bicycles are customized to match the terrains (地形) in these localities. Mountain 2 Mountain Founded in 206, M2M is a charity that’s working to protect and preserve the interests of Afghan women in cycling. Thanks to the efforts of M2M, Afghan females now ride their bikes openly and take part in competitions. The bikers are provided with accessories and gear (配件和装备) needed to ride conveniently. People For Bikes With a great reputation across the globe, People For Bikes is aimed at spreading the joy of biking to as many people as possible. Millions of dollars have been generated over the past 21 years. This money goes out to improve the bicycling experience or people of all ages. They also support professional biking and recreational biking — necessary safety gear is provided. International Mountain Bicycling Association IMBA, created in 1988, focuses on the preservation of natural mountain biking terrains and routes. They sensitize people across the world to the effect of charity bike rides on the environment. Consequently, their programs educate bikers on how to ride without damaging routes. The establishment also educates people on the proper methods for trail (小径) construction. 21. What motivated the establishment of World Bicycle Relief? A. The spreading of a disease. B. Bad healthcare services in Zambia. C. The damage caused by a disaster. D. Slow community development in Africa. 22. What do Mountain 2 Mountain and People For Bikes have in common? A. Both have global influence. B. Both provide cycling equipment. C. Both organize biking competitions. D. Both have a history of two decades. 23. Which charity aims to protect biking terrains? A. World Bicycle Relief. B. Mountain 2 Mountain. C. People For Bikes. D. International Mountain Bicycling Association. 【答案】21. C 22. B 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。本文主要介绍了大家应该支持的四大自行车慈善机构。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据World Bicycle Relief中的“World Bicycle Relief was inspired by the need to make lives better after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.(世界自行车救济会的灵感来自于2004年印度洋海啸后改善生活的需要。)”可知，一场灾难造成的破坏促使世界自行车救济组织成立。故选C。 22题详解】 推理判断题。根据Mountain 2 Mountain中“The bikers are provided with accessories and gear (配件和装备) needed to ride conveniently.(为骑自行车的人提供了方便骑行所需的配件和装备。)”以及People For Bikes中的“They also support professional biking and recreational biking — necessary safety gear is provided. (他们还支持专业骑自行车和休闲骑自行车—提供必要的安全装备)”可知，两者的共同之处是两者都提供自行车装备。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据International Mountain Bicycling Association中的“IMBA, created in 1988, focuses on the preservation of natural mountain biking terrains and routes.( IMBA创建于1988年，专注于保护自然山地自行车地形和路线。)”可知，国际山地自行车协会旨在保护自行车骑行的地形。故选D。 B In the livestreaming (直播的) channel of Yang Weiyun, no singing or dancing is performed nor are products sold. Yang, 74 years old, teaches children Pinyin, reading and writing, something that has been most familiar to her for the past 50 years. But this time, her students are mostly adults. In retirement, Yang also wanted to do something meaningful. The rise of short video platforms gave her the idea of continuing her education career through livestreaming online. She opened her livestreaming account in May 2021 and offered free Pinyin courses designed for illiterate (不识字的，文盲的) adults. “Many illiterate adults didn’t have the chance to go to school when they were young. They are the ones in urgent need of becoming literate. I wanted to give them a new starting point,” Yang said. Considering that most of the adult students have to make time to attend the lessons, Yang holds two livestream classes every day starting at 8:30 am and 8:30 pm. Her livestreaming channel offers an easy and private way for those who want to overcome adult illiteracy. Now she has nearly 400,000 followers on the short video platform. Zhang Mei is among the students who benefits from Yang’s livestream lessons. She was born and raised in the countryside and had never been to school. She found illiteracy brought challenges to her city life. She couldn’t find suitable work. She also couldn’t fill in forms or read the assignment from teachers for her children. She watches Yang’s livestreaming whenever there is spare time. Now she can read Chinese characters if they are marked with Pinyin and knows how to write her name. She has also found a job. Yang said she tried her best to figure out what ways the students can learn and remember better, and her biggest wish now is to see these students graduate from her classes. 24. What is Yang Weiyun devoted herself to after her retirement? A Helping people from the countryside find suitable jobs. B. Engaging herself in relieving adult illiteracy online. C. Selling educational products on a short video platform. D. Designing classes for illiterate adults at school. 25. Why does Yang Weiyun hold two livestream classes in two different time periods? A. To help herself attract more followers. B. To offer convenience to her students. C. To finish her teaching plan on time. D. To meet the requirements of platforms. 26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Yang Weiyun’s teaching channel is popular. B. Zhang Mei benefits from Yang’s lessons. C. Adults face challenges in modern city life. D. Zhang Mei makes progress in her studies. 27. Which of the following can best describe Yang Weiyun? A. Modest. B. Strict. C. Outgoing. D. Devoted. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。讲述了一位退休的教师通过直播平台为不识字的成年人上课，教他们拼音、读写，并通过这一方式改变了他们的人生的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“offered free Pinyin courses designed for illiterate (不识字的，文盲的) adults(提供专为文盲成人设计的免费拼音课程)”及第三段中的“They are the ones in urgent need of becoming literate. I wanted to give them a new starting point(他们是迫切需要识字的人。我想给他们一个新的起点)”可知，杨老师退休后在网上免费教不识字的成年人拼音，也就是说杨老师在退休后致力于在线扫盲。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Considering that most of the adult students have to make time to attend the lessons, Yang holds two livestream classes every day starting at 8:30 am and 8:30 pm.(考虑到大多数成年学生需要抽时间上课，杨老师每天开设两场直播课，分别在上午8:30和晚上8:30开始)”可知，杨老师在两个不同的时间段开直播课的原因是考虑到她的学生基本上都是成年人，他们中的大多数人需要挤出时间来上课，也就是说，她开设不同时间段的直播课是为了方便她的学生。故选B。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。 通读第四段的内容“Zhang Mei is among the students who benefits from Yang’s livestream lessons. She was born and raised in the countryside and had never been to school. She found illiteracy brought challenges to her city life. She couldn’t find suitable work. She also couldn’t fill in forms or read the assignment from teachers for her children. She watches Yang’s livestreaming whenever there is spare time. Now she can read Chinese characters if they are marked with Pinyin and knows how to write her name. She has also found a job.(张梅是杨伟云直播课程的受益学生之一。她生长在农村，从未上过学。她发现不识字给她的城市生活带来了诸多困难——找不到合适的工作、不会填表格、也看不懂孩子老师布置的作业。她一有空就会观看杨老师的直播课。现在她已经能认读带拼音的汉字，会写自己的名字，还找到了一份工作)”可知，第四段主要讲述了张梅的经历。曾因不识字而面临困难和挑战，她在听了杨老师的课后，能够识字、写自己的名字并且还找到了一份工作。由此可知，本段主要讲述的是张梅从杨老师的课程中获益良多的相关内容。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读文章内容，尤其是第二段“In retirement, Yang also wanted to do something meaningful. The rise of short video platforms gave her the idea of continuing her education career through livestreaming online. She opened her livestreaming account in May 2021 and offered free Pinyin courses designed for illiterate (不识字的，文盲的) adults.(在退休时，杨还想做一些有意义的事情。简短的视频平台的兴起使她通过在线直播来继续她的教育事业。她于2021年5月开设了直播帐户，并提供了为文盲成人设计的免费拼音课程)”和第三段中的“Considering that most of the adult students have to make time to attend the lessons, Yang holds two livestream classes every day starting at 8:30 am and 8:30 pm.(考虑到大多数成年学生必须花时间参加课程，杨每天从上午8:30和晚上8:30开始两个直播课程)”可知，杨老师在退休后利用直播平台为不识字的成年人免费上课，教他们拼音，而且为了保证他们能有时间上课，一天开两场直播。文章最后一段还介绍了她在教学上所付出的努力和对学生的期望。由此可推断，这位老师非常尽职，热衷于教学。故选D。 C The new staff at McDonald’s across Slovenia stand at just 1.3 meters. They have aviation-grade aluminium alloy (铝合金) bodies, a screen for a face, and cat-like ears. The innovation called “BellaBot” is of a commercial-service-robot firm, which is called Pudu Robotics. They deliver not only food to customers, but also a smile or wink whenever they receive a pat on the head. Pudu’s robots have learned to navigate (导航) complex, unpredictable environments such as fast-food restaurants, says Felix Zhang, founder of Pudu Robotics, which is based in Shenzhen, China. Like humans, the BellaBot and others — such as the SwiftBot and PUDU A1 — can avoid barriers and swiftly stop when a child crosses their paths. These are not simple tasks for a machine. To navigate in a changing environment, a robot navigation algorithm (算法) usually requires three steps: positioning, judging and route planning. In these three steps, positioning is a key issue. “We thought that the robots should distance themselves, ahead of time, whenever they encounter certain groups of people, such as young children or the elderly,” Zhang says. The team thus adopted deep-learning algorithms to accurately identify these groups, so that the robots would be extra careful, slowing down and maintaining distance. The company’s SwiftBot specifically recognizes elderly people, enabling it to work safely in nursing homes in addition to environments such as restaurants, hospitals and hotels. One of their latest robots, the PUDU A1, also adopting deep-learning algorithms, has an arm with which it can deliver food, and collect used dishes, without the need for staff or customers to load and unload it. With a strong ambition of AI techniques to build on, Pudu Robotics continues to innovate and come up with new designs, Zhang says. His team hopes that their robots will be adaptable and pleasant workers, ready for the tasks that await them. 28. What can we learn about BellaBots from the first paragraph? A. They work in the BellaBot restaurant. B. They could cook food for customers. C. They have an adorable appearance. D. They are the latest products of McDonald’s. 29. How can the robots navigate correctly in a changeable environment? A. By learning deep-learning algorithms. B. By changing relevant programs. C. By performing the orders of controllers. D. By planning their routes on computers. 30. What is Felix Zhang’s attitude towards robots? A. Curious. B. Critical. C. Negative. D. Optimistic. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Intelligent Robots: Offer Service With a Smile B. Felix Zhang: Design Robots to Provide Service C. Pudu Robotics: Open Up the Market in Fast-Food Restaurants D. Algorithms: Make Great Innovations in Robotics 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中国深圳的普渡科技公司所研发的一系列商用服务机器人，如在斯洛文尼亚麦当劳工作的 “贝拉机器人” 等，介绍了这些机器人的特点，包括可爱的外形、在复杂环境中的导航能力，以及它们所采用的深度学习算法等，还提及了公司创始人对机器人发展的期望。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The new staff at McDonald’s across Slovenia stand at just 1.3 meters. They have aviation-grade aluminium alloy (铝合金) bodies, a screen for a face, and cat-like ears. The innovation called “BellaBot” is of a commercial-service-robot firm, which is called Pudu Robotics. They deliver not only food to customers, but also a smile or wink whenever they receive a pat on the head. (斯洛文尼亚麦当劳的新员工身高只有1.3米。它们有航空级的铝合金机身，一个屏幕的脸，和像猫一样的耳朵。这项名为“BellaBot”的创新来自一家名为普度机器人的商业服务机器人公司。他们不仅给顾客送食物，而且只要有人拍他们的头，他们就会微笑或眨眼。)”可知，贝拉机器人有可爱的外表。故选 C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To navigate in a changing environment, a robot navigation algorithm (算法) usually requires three steps: positioning, judging and route planning. In these three steps, positioning is a key issue. ‘We thought that the robots should distance themselves, ahead of time, whenever they encounter certain groups of people, such as young children or the elderly,’ Zhang says. The team thus adopted deep-learning algorithms to accurately identify these groups, so that the robots would be extra careful, slowing down and maintaining distance. (为了在变化的环境中导航，机器人导航算法通常需要三个步骤：定位、判断和路线规划。在这三个步骤中，定位是一个关键问题。“我们认为，每当机器人遇到某些人群，如幼儿或老人时，它们应该提前保持距离，” 张说。因此，该团队采用了深度学习算法来准确识别这些人群，以便机器人能够格外小心，放慢速度并保持距离。)”可知，机器人通过学习深度学习算法来在多变的环境中正确导航。故选 A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“With a strong ambition of AI techniques to build on, Pudu Robotics continues to innovate and come up with new designs, Zhang says. His team hopes that their robots will be adaptable and pleasant workers, ready for the tasks that await them. (张说，凭借对人工智能技术的雄心壮志，普渡科技继续创新并推出新的设计。他的团队希望他们的机器人将成为适应性强、令人愉快的工作者，为等待它们的任务做好准备。)”可知，Felix Zhang 对机器人的态度是乐观的。故选 D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了一家人工智能机器人公司开发的机器人和其所运用的科学技术。新开发的机器人不仅可以微笑和眨眼，还可以在餐厅、医院和养老院等不同场景下提供服务。因此A项“智能机器人：微笑着提供服务”适合作为本文的标题。故选A。 D A recent study published in Nature Neuroscience challenges the traditional idea of sleep as a state of complete disconnection from the external world. Traditionally, sleep has been described as a time when consciousness of one’s environment stops, leading to the belief that individuals do not react to external stimuli (刺激物) during sleep. However, this study suggests that there may be moments during sleep when this boundary between the mind and the outside world can be crossed. The study, led by Delphine Oudiette, a cognitive (认知的) scientist at the Paris Brain Institute in France and a co-author of the study, and her colleagues, observed 27 individuals with narcolepsy, a condition characterized by frequent clear dreams and daytime sleepiness, as well as 22 people without the condition. During their sleep, participants were repeatedly asked to either smile or frown (皱眉). Surprisingly, all of them responded accurately to at least 70% of these prompts. Overall response rates were notably higher during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, the phase of deepest sleep with significant brain activity. These findings challenge the conventional view of sleep, suggesting that certain physiological states may allow the brain to continue to receive external signals during sleep. This opens up the possibility of communication with individuals who are not aware that they are dreaming, which was previously thought to be impossible. The implications of this research extend beyond considering sleep in a new way. It paves the way for a better understanding of sleep disorders, such as sleeplessness and sleepwalking, and could provide insight into the parts of the brain that remain active during sleep and their relationship with consciousness. This study represents a shift in sleep research towards more complicated approaches that combine electroencephalogram (脑电图) with various tasks and stimuli. This method offers a promising way to investigate specific sleep-related conditions and gain a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between the brain, sleep, and consciousness. 32. How does the traditional belief interpret human sleep? A. Sleep is a process of no consciousness. B. Sleep is a chance of vivid dreams. C. Sleep is a state of increased awareness. D. Sleep is a time for deep relaxation. 33. What does the underlined word “prompts” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Questions. B. Explanations. C. Instructions. D. Suggestions. 34. What conclusion can we draw from Delphine Oudiette’s experiment? A. The surroundings affect sleep quality. B. Sleeping people can follow simple orders. C. Sound sleep leads people into dreams. D. REM sleep contributes to quick responses. 35. The medical significance of the study lies in ______. A. analyzing the behaviour of dreamers B. discovering the nature of odd dreams C. reshaping our understanding of REM D. offering better insights into sleep disorders 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍最近一项发表在《自然神经科学》杂志上的研究表明：在睡眠过程中，大脑和外部世界之间的界限可能会被跨越。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Traditionally, sleep has been described as a time when consciousness of one’s environment stops, leading to the belief that individuals do not react to external stimuli (刺激物) during sleep. (传统上，睡眠被描述为一个人对环境的意识停止的时间，导致人们相信个人在睡眠期间不会对外部刺激做出反应。)”可知，传统上，人们认为人类睡眠是一个无意识的过程。故选A。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“During their sleep, participants were repeatedly asked to either smile or frown (皱眉). Surprisingly, all of them responded accurately to at least 70% of these prompts. (在睡眠期间，参与者被反复要求微笑或皱眉。令人惊讶的是，他们都对这些prompts中的至少70%做出了准确的回应。)”可知，这里的prompts是指上文提到的参与者被反复要求微笑或皱眉的指令，所以prompts的意思是“指令，指示”，和选项C意思一致。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“These findings challenge the conventional view of sleep, suggesting that certain physiological states may allow the brain to continue to receive external signals during sleep. This opens up the possibility of communication with individuals who are not aware that they are dreaming, which was previously thought to be impossible. (这些发现挑战了传统的睡眠观，表明某些生理状态可能允许大脑在睡眠期间继续接收外部信号。这开辟了与那些不知道自己在做梦的人进行沟通的可能性，这在以前被认为是不可能的。)”可知，Delphine Oudiette的实验表明睡觉的人可以遵循简单的命令。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“It paves the way for a better understanding of sleep disorders, such as sleeplessness and sleepwalking, and could provide insight into the parts of the brain that remain active during sleep and their relationship with consciousness. (它为更好地理解睡眠障碍(如失眠和梦游)铺平了道路，并可以深入了解大脑在睡眠期间保持活跃的部分及其与意识的关系。)”可知，这项研究的医学意义在于它让我们更好的理解了睡眠障碍。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。其中有两项为多余选项。 Spring is a wonderful time to get outside and work in the garden, but have you ever considered how you can transform standard spring gardening jobs into mindful moments to boost your well-being?

Gardens need a bit of mess to be healthy and diverse. Pollinators and insects benefit hugely from dead plants left in the garden, so does the soil. So stick to hard surfaces like pathways and let borders and grassy areas do their thing.( 让你的花园井井有条可能很诱人，但这并不总是最好的主意。花园需要一点杂乱来保持健康和多样化。授粉者和昆虫从花园里的死植物中受益匪浅，土壤也是如此。所以要坚持在坚硬的表面上行走，比如小路，让边界和草地发挥它们的作用。)”可知，本段讲述的是花园保持一点混乱是有益的。A选项“Embrace a touch of wildness(拥抱一点野性)”能概括这部分内容，为该段的小标题。故选A项。 【40题详解】 根据后文提到“It can be as small as a bucket, or any other watertight container you have.( 它可以像一个水桶那么小，或者是你有的任何其他水密容器)”说明创建迷你池塘不需要很大的空间。D 选项“You don’t need a large space to create a pond.( 创建一个池塘不需要很大的空间。)”与后文内容相呼应，上下文紧密连接。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was a young boy, we lived just down the road from a public swimming pool.

With laughter and cheers all around me, I took a short break near the field’s edge to catch my breath. It was then that I heard a faint mewing sound. Following the sound, I finally spotted a tiny kitten. It looked scared and hurt, its leg twisted at a strange angle. “Hey, guys! Come here!” I called out to my classmates. They gathered around, their faces filled with concern. “We need to help it,” said Sarah. We all agreed. Carefully, I picked up the kitten, feeling its tiny body shake in my hands. It was so small and weak. We decided to seek help from our kind PE teacher, Mr Johnson. “Mr Johnson, we found this poor kitten, and it seems badly hurt,” I said, holding it out to him. He looked at the kitten and then at us, a serious expression crossing his face. “Let me call the school nurse Mrs Thompson,” he said. Before Mrs Thompson came, we quickly made a makeshift stretcher (临时担架) using a towel and two sticks, and gently placed the kitten on it with Mr Johnson’s direction. A moment later, Mrs Thompson came running with a first aid kit. As she examined the kitten, we all held our breath. “It looks like it has a broken leg,” she said. “We need to get it to the animal hospital immediately.” Mr Johnson nodded and told us to go back to the classroom after the PE class was over. Then, he and Mrs Thompson took the kitten to the vet. The rest of the day was a blur. We could only think about the kitten, hoping it would be fine. Before the school was over, Mr Johnson returned to the classroom with a big smile on his face. “Good news, kids!” he announced. “The kitten’s surgery was a success. The vet said that with proper care it would make a full recovery.” 注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Hearing this, we all felt relieved. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the animal hospital, we saw the recovered kitten. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Hearing this, we all felt relieved. The classroom erupted in cheers and applause. Sarah clapped her hands, her eyes shining with joy. “We saved a life today!” she exclaimed. I couldn’t help but smile, feeling a warm sense of pride. Mr Johnson praised us for our teamwork and kindness, reminding us that even small actions could make a big difference. We decided to visit the kitten after school to see how it was doing. In the animal hospital, we saw the recovered kitten. It was resting in a cozy bed, its leg wrapped in a tiny cast. The kitten looked much better, its eyes bright and curious. The vet told us it would need a few weeks to heal completely. “Who will take care of it?” I asked. Mr Johnson smiled and said, “I’ve already spoken to the principal.

It also joined up with RAPDS, which provided healthcare services in Zambia to fight the spread of AIDS. Other regions of the world have been provided with bicycles for community development and general improvement of lives. The bicycles are customized to match the terrains (地形) in these localities. Mountain 2 Mountain Founded in 206, M2M is a charity that’s working to protect and preserve the interests of Afghan women in cycling. Thanks to the efforts of M2M, Afghan females now ride their bikes openly and take part in competitions. The bikers are provided with accessories and gear (配件和装备) needed to ride conveniently. People For Bikes With a great reputation across the globe, People For Bikes is aimed at spreading the joy of biking to as many people as possible. Millions of dollars have been generated over the past 21 years. This money goes out to improve the bicycling experience or people of all ages. They also support professional biking and recreational biking — necessary safety gear is provided. International Mountain Bicycling Association IMBA, created in 1988, focuses on the preservation of natural mountain biking terrains and routes. They sensitize people across the world to the effect of charity bike rides on the environment. Consequently, their programs educate bikers on how to ride without damaging routes. The establishment also educates people on the proper methods for trail (小径) construction. 21 What motivated the establishment of World Bicycle Relief? A. The spreading of a disease. B. Bad healthcare services in Zambia. C. The damage caused by a disaster. D. Slow community development in Africa. 22. What do Mountain 2 Mountain and People For Bikes have in common? A. Both have global influence. B. Both provide cycling equipment. C. Both organize biking competitions. D. Both have a history of two decades. 23. Which charity aims to protect biking terrains? A. World Bicycle Relief. B. Mountain 2 Mountain. C. People For Bikes. D. International Mountain Bicycling Association. B In the livestreaming (直播的) channel of Yang Weiyun, no singing or dancing is performed nor are products sold. Yang, 74 years old, teaches children Pinyin, reading and writing, something that has been most familiar to her for the past 50 years. But this time, her students are mostly adults. In retirement, Yang also wanted to do something meaningful. The rise of short video platforms gave her the idea of continuing her education career through livestreaming online. She opened her livestreaming account in May 2021 and offered free Pinyin courses designed for illiterate (不识字的，文盲的) adults. “Many illiterate adults didn’t have the chance to go to school when they were young. They are the ones in urgent need of becoming literate. I wanted to give them a new starting point,” Yang said. Considering that most of the adult students have to make time to attend the lessons, Yang holds two livestream classes every day starting at 8:30 am and 8:30 pm. Her livestreaming channel offers an easy and private way for those who want to overcome adult illiteracy. Now she has nearly 400,000 followers on the short video platform. Zhang Mei is among the students who benefits from Yang’s livestream lessons. She was born and raised in the countryside and had never been to school. She found illiteracy brought challenges to her city life. She couldn’t find suitable work. She also couldn’t fill in forms or read the assignment from teachers for her children. She watches Yang’s livestreaming whenever there is spare time. Now she can read Chinese characters if they are marked with Pinyin and knows how to write her name. She has also found a job. Yang said she tried her best to figure out what ways the students can learn and remember better, and her biggest wish now is to see these students graduate from her classes. 24. What is Yang Weiyun devoted herself to after her retirement? A. Helping people from the countryside find suitable jobs. B. Engaging herself in relieving adult illiteracy online. C. Selling educational products on a short video platform. D. Designing classes for illiterate adults at school. 25. Why does Yang Weiyun hold two livestream classes in two different time periods? A. To help herself attract more followers. B. To offer convenience to her students. C. To finish her teaching plan on time. D. To meet the requirements of platforms. 26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Yang Weiyun’s teaching channel is popular. B. Zhang Mei benefits from Yang’s lessons. C. Adults face challenges in modern city life. D. Zhang Mei makes progress in her studies. 27. Which of the following can best describe Yang Weiyun? A. Modest. B. Strict. C. Outgoing. D. Devoted. C The new staff at McDonald’s across Slovenia stand at just 1.3 meters. They have aviation-grade aluminium alloy (铝合金) bodies, a screen for a face, and cat-like ears. The innovation called “BellaBot” is of a commercial-service-robot firm, which is called Pudu Robotics. They deliver not only food to customers, but also a smile or wink whenever they receive a pat on the head. Pudu’s robots have learned to navigate (导航) complex, unpredictable environments such as fast-food restaurants, says Felix Zhang, founder of Pudu Robotics, which is based in Shenzhen, China. Like humans, the BellaBot and others — such as the SwiftBot and PUDU A1 — can avoid barriers and swiftly stop when a child crosses their paths. These are not simple tasks for a machine. To navigate in a changing environment, a robot navigation algorithm (算法) usually requires three steps: positioning, judging and route planning. In these three steps, positioning is a key issue. “We thought that the robots should distance themselves, ahead of time, whenever they encounter certain groups of people, such as young children or the elderly,” Zhang says. The team thus adopted deep-learning algorithms to accurately identify these groups, so that the robots would be extra careful, slowing down and maintaining distance. The company’s SwiftBot specifically recognizes elderly people, enabling it to work safely in nursing homes in addition to environments such as restaurants, hospitals and hotels. One of their latest robots, the PUDU A1, also adopting deep-learning algorithms, has an arm with which it can deliver food, and collect used dishes, without the need for staff or customers to load and unload it. With a strong ambition of AI techniques to build on, Pudu Robotics continues to innovate and come up with new designs, Zhang says. His team hopes that their robots will be adaptable and pleasant workers, ready for the tasks that await them. 28. What can we learn about BellaBots from the first paragraph? A. They work in the BellaBot restaurant. B. They could cook food for customers. C. They have an adorable appearance. D. They are the latest products of McDonald’s. 29. How can the robots navigate correctly in a changeable environment? A. By learning deep-learning algorithms. B. By changing relevant programs. C. By performing the orders of controllers. D. By planning their routes on computers. 30. What is Felix Zhang’s attitude towards robots? A. Curious. B. Critical. C. Negative. D. Optimistic. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Intelligent Robots: Offer Service With a Smile B. Felix Zhang: Design Robots to Provide Service C. Pudu Robotics: Open Up the Market in Fast-Food Restaurants D. Algorithms: Make Great Innovations in Robotics D A recent study published in Nature Neuroscience challenges the traditional idea of sleep as a state of complete disconnection from the external world. Traditionally, sleep has been described as a time when consciousness of one’s environment stops, leading to the belief that individuals do not react to external stimuli (刺激物) during sleep. However, this study suggests that there may be moments during sleep when this boundary between the mind and the outside world can be crossed. The study, led by Delphine Oudiette, a cognitive (认知的) scientist at the Paris Brain Institute in France and a co-author of the study, and her colleagues, observed 27 individuals with narcolepsy, a condition characterized by frequent clear dreams and daytime sleepiness, as well as 22 people without the condition. During their sleep, participants were repeatedly asked to either smile or frown (皱眉). Surprisingly, all of them responded accurately to at least 70% of these prompts. Overall response rates were notably higher during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, the phase of deepest sleep with significant brain activity. These findings challenge the conventional view of sleep, suggesting that certain physiological states may allow the brain to continue to receive external signals during sleep. This opens up the possibility of communication with individuals who are not aware that they are dreaming, which was previously thought to be impossible. The implications of this research extend beyond considering sleep in a new way. It paves the way for a better understanding of sleep disorders, such as sleeplessness and sleepwalking, and could provide insight into the parts of the brain that remain active during sleep and their relationship with consciousness. This study represents a shift in sleep research towards more complicated approaches that combine electroencephalogram (脑电图) with various tasks and stimuli. This method offers a promising way to investigate specific sleep-related conditions and gain a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between the brain, sleep, and consciousness. 32. How does the traditional belief interpret human sleep? A. Sleep is a process of no consciousness. B. Sleep is a chance of vivid dreams. C. Sleep is a state of increased awareness. D. Sleep is a time for deep relaxation. 33. What does the underlined word “prompts” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Questions. B. Explanations. C. Instructions. D. Suggestions. 34. What conclusion can we draw from Delphine Oudiette’s experiment? A. The surroundings affect sleep quality. B. Sleeping people can follow simple orders. C. Sound sleep leads people into dreams. D. REM sleep contributes to quick responses. 35. The medical significance of the study lies in ______. A. analyzing the behaviour of dreamers B. discovering the nature of odd dreams C. reshaping our understanding of REM D. offering better insights into sleep disorders 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。其中有两项为多余选项。 Spring is a wonderful time to get outside and work in the garden, but have you ever considered how you can transform standard spring gardening jobs into mindful moments to boost your well-being?

With laughter and cheers all around me, I took a short break near the field’s edge to catch my breath. It was then that I heard a faint mewing sound. Following the sound, I finally spotted a tiny kitten. It looked scared and hurt, its leg twisted at a strange angle. “Hey, guys! Come here!” I called out to my classmates. They gathered around, their faces filled with concern. “We need to help it,” said Sarah. We all agreed. Carefully, I picked up the kitten, feeling its tiny body shake in my hands. It was so small and weak. We decided to seek help from our kind PE teacher, Mr Johnson. “Mr Johnson, we found this poor kitten, and it seems badly hurt,” I said, holding it out to him. He looked at the kitten and then at us, a serious expression crossing his face. “Let me call the school nurse Mrs Thompson,” he said. Before Mrs Thompson came, we quickly made a makeshift stretcher (临时担架) using a towel and two sticks, and gently placed the kitten on it with Mr Johnson’s direction. A moment later, Mrs Thompson came running with a first aid kit. As she examined the kitten, we all held our breath. “It looks like it has a broken leg,” she said. “We need to get it to the animal hospital immediately.” Mr Johnson nodded and told us to go back to the classroom after the PE class was over. Then, he and Mrs Thompson took the kitten to the vet. The rest of the day was a blur. We could only think about the kitten, hoping it would be fine. Before the school was over, Mr Johnson returned to the classroom with a big smile on his face. “Good news, kids!” he announced. “The kitten’s surgery was a success. The vet said that with proper care it would make a full recovery.” 注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Hearing this, we all felt relieved. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the animal hospital, we saw the recovered kitten. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
