It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often discourage her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact. According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I don’t think food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.” Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division (分配) of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means sometimes eating more cookies than carrots. Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.” I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.” 4. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. She is worried about her kids’ weight. B. She is interested in making food. C. She is particular about what she eats. D. She is critical of the way she was fed. 5. Which of the following would Markey disagree with? A. Allowing kids to eat cookies sometimes. B. Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. C. Talking with kids about school at mealtimes. D. Offering various foods to kids at fixed times. 6. What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”? A. Eat up what is provided for them. B. Share their food with other kids. C. Make diet decisions on their own. D. Help their parents do the dishes. 7. What does the author think of the strategies she has been following? A. Expensive. B. Unbearable. C. Workable. D. Innovative. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章以作者自身经历引出话题，介绍心理学家Charlotte Markey的观点，建议家长采用“责任分配”策略让孩子自主决定饮食，作者实践后发现有效果。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. ‘You don’t want to get fat’ was repeated throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. (当我还是个孩子的时候，我经常被告知什么不能吃。“你不想变胖”这句话在我的童年时期反复出现。这真的破坏了我与食物的关系——我花了好几年才克服这个问题。)”可知，作者认为自己童年时期经历的破坏了他与食物的关系，所以他对自己小时候被喂养的方式是持批判态度的。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“‘There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I don’t think food is one of them,’ she says. ‘It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.’ (她说：‘在育儿过程中有很多事情值得好好讨论，但我认为食物不是其中之一。这只会在孩子心中造成一些不必要的担忧和不安全感，这并不健康’)”可知，Markey不赞成和孩子过多谈论食物相关话题，由此推知，“向孩子解释吃零食的风险”这种做法她是不同意的。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the ‘Division (分配) of Responsibility,’ where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume (相反，她建议采用营养专家中一个著名的概念，+即‘责任分配’，父母在固定时间为孩子提供各种主要是健康的食物，而孩子自己决定想吃什么和吃多少)”可知，根据“责任分配”，孩子应该自己做饮食决定。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. (我一直在尝试这些策略，我发现当我不那么严格限制时，他们确实能做出更好的决定。)”可知，孩子们确实能做出更好的决定，所以作者认为她所采用的策略是可行的。故选C项。 C Have you ever noticed how the email icon (图标) on many computers and smartphones is of an envelope? Or how camera phones make the sound of a real camera clicking when you take a photo, even though there’s no shutter to open or close? These are examples of skeuomorphs, which is when new things take on the appearance or sound of the object they’ve replaced. Why would new things want to look like something old? It’s all to do with human psychology (心理学). Psychologist James Gibson says one of the ways people understand the world is through affordances — objects whose shape tells you how to use them. When creating new digital technologies, inventors like Steve Jobs of Apple used skeuomorphs so people would know how to use their products. By showing people an image of something they already knew how to use, it made using a computer or smartphone easier. However, as people became more familiar with modern technology, some designers argued that skeuomorphs were no longer necessary. Indeed, the younger generation don’t need visual references to older items they’ve never used. This led to something called flat design, where computer desktops and smartphone home screens started to do away with skeuomorphism. Skeuomorphs made a comeback, though, with smart watches. Many smart watches took on the appearance of an old-fashioned watch, with a clock face. This was to encourage people who didn’t like digital watches to consider buying a smart watch. While these are the ways skeuomorphs are used today, that doesn’t mean it’s only a modern phenomenon. In fact, the word was first used in 1899 by the archaeologist Henry Colley March, who realized that some ancient artefacts (人工制品) kept the appearance of older objects, even though there was no practical reason for them to do so. When ancient Greek builders moved from using wood to stone, they recreated some of the characteristics of wooden buildings. From ancient Greek architecture to 21st century technology, skeuomorphs have been a key feature of scientific progress. So, when you wonder about the objects of the future, take a look around. Chances are that they will look a lot like the objects of the past. 8. Which of the following is an example of skeuomorphs? A. Facebook B. Starbucks C. Flashlight D. Booking 9. How would people feel about skeuomorphs? A. User-friendly. B. Energy-saving. C. Safety-centered. D. Cost-effective. 10. Why did some designers think skeuomorphs unnecessary? A. Flat design began to take off throughout the world. B. Young people disliked traditional designs of common icons. C. The existing standards of skeuomorphism had been updated. D. Users developed a better understanding of modern technology. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The prediction about future objects. B. The key feature of scientific progress. C. The ever-lasting presence of skeuomorphs. D. The design philosophies of skeuomorphism. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“拟物设计”的概念、用途及其在现代科技和古代文物中的体现。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“These are examples of skeuomorphs, which is when new things take on the appearance or sound of the object they’ve replaced. (这些是拟物设计的例子，即新事物采用它们所替代的旧事物的外观或声音)”可知，拟物化是指新事物采用被它们取代的物体的外观或声音。结合选项中Flashlight(手电筒)通常保留传统手电筒的图标设计，符合拟物设计的定义。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第二段中“When creating new digital technologies, inventors like Steve Jobs of Apple used skeuomorphs so people would know how to use their products. By showing people an image of something they already knew how to use, it made using a computer or smartphone easier. (在创造新的数字技术时，像苹果公司的史蒂夫·乔布斯这样的发明家会运用拟物化设计，以便人们知道如何使用他们的产品。通过向人们展示一个他们已经知道如何使用的物品的图像，这使得使用电脑或智能手机变得更加容易)”可推知，人们会觉得拟物化设计是用户友好的。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段中“However, as people became more familiar with modern technology, some designers argued that skeuomorphs were no longer necessary. Indeed, the younger generation don’t need visual references to older items they’ve never used. (然而，随着人们对现代科技越来越熟悉，一些设计师认为拟物化设计不再必要。的确，年轻一代并不需要参考那些他们从未使用过的旧物件的视觉元素)”可知，设计师认为拟物设计不再必要的原因是用户对现代技术有了更好的理解。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据最后一段中“While these are the ways skeuomorphs are used today, that doesn’t mean it’s only a modern phenomenon. (然而，尽管拟物化设计如今是这样被使用的，但这并不意味着它只是一种现代现象)”及“From ancient Greek architecture to 21st century technology, skeuomorphs have been a key feature of scientific progress. So, when you wonder about the objects of the future, take a look around. Chances are that they will look a lot like the objects of the past. (从古希腊的建筑到21世纪的科技产品，拟物化设计一直是科学进步的一个关键特征。所以，当你畅想未来的物件时，不妨看看周围。它们很可能会与过去的物件长得十分相似)”可知，最后一段主要讲述了拟物化并非现代现象，其历史可以追溯到古代，从古希腊建筑到21世纪的技术，拟物设计一直是科学进步的一个关键特征。因此，最后一段主要讲述了拟物设计的持久存在。故选C。 D On paper, hydrogen (氢气) looks like a dream fuel. In practice, things are trickier. Storing meaningful quantities of hydrogen gas requires compressing (压缩) it several hundred times. Transforming it into liquid state is another option, but one that requires cooling the stuff to -253℃. Either process requires rugged tanks. Over time, hydrogen gas can pass slowly into metals, weakening them and potentially causing damage. Tanks must be built from special materials designed to avoid this breakdown. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute led by Marcus Vogt, think that supplying hydrogen as goop (糊状) offers a way around some of its limitations. They have been experimenting with a chemical compound that can be pumped into a container and then persuaded to give off its hydrogen on demand. Their invention, which they nickname “powerpaste”, looks like toothpaste. Its main ingredient is magnesium hydride, a compound that when introduced to water, reacts with it to form hydrogen and magnesium hydroxide. The escaped hydrogen can then be redirected into a fuel container, where it reacts with oxygen from the air to generate electric power. The magnesium hydroxide waste is self-emptied from the reactor. Dr Vogt’s invention offers several advantages over batteries, petrol and more traditional ways of handling hydrogen. One is the storage of energy that either batteries or petrol can manage. A-second is ease of refilling, which is simply a matter of replacing an empty container of paste with a full one, and topping up the water, which is stored in a separate tank. A third advantage is that, unlike a battery, the paste does not gradually lose its stored energy if it is left on the shelf. Moreover, the paste itself is harmless, and so are the reaction’s by-products. But there are still more to work through. Magnesium hydride reacts only slowly with water. To address this, Dr Vogt and his team have found a chemical additive that greatly speeds up the reaction. They have also found a way to ensure that the reaction can be controlled to supply only as much hydrogen as is needed at any given moment. 12. Which of the following best explains “rugged” underlined in Paragraph 1? A. Creative. B. Delicate. C. Huge. D. Tough. 13. What can we know about the invention according to Paragraph 3? A. Magnesium hydride mixed with water releases hydrogen. B. Water and electricity are necessary in the process. C. Several chemical reactions occur in the same tank. D. The remaining waste needs removing with extra help. 14. How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed? A. By quoting sayings. B. By drawing comparisons. C. By providing examples. D. By explaining a theory. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. New Clean Energy. B. Dream Fuel: Hydrogen Gas. C. Advantages of Hydrogen Goop.. D. “Toothpaste” in Your Tank. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员发明了一种像牙膏一样的化合物，它的主要成分是氢氧化镁，与水反应生成氢，从而为油箱提供燃料。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段划线词后句“Over time, hydrogen gas can pass slowly into metals, weakening them and potentially causing damage. Tanks must be built from special materials designed to avoid this breakdown.(随着时间的推移，氢气可以缓慢地进入金属，削弱它们并可能造成损害。储罐必须采用特殊材料制造，以避免这种故障。)”可知，这两种工艺都需要坚固的储罐。所以rugged为“坚固耐用的”之意。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Its main ingredient is magnesium hydride, a compound that when introduced to water, reacts with it to form hydrogen and magnesium hydroxide.(它的主要成分是氢化镁，这是一种化合物，当它被引入水中时，会与水反应形成氢气和氢氧化镁。)”可知，氢镁与水混合可以释放氢。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Dr Vogt’s invention offers several advantages over batteries, petrol and more traditional ways of handling hydrogen.(与电池、汽油以及更为传统的处理氢气的方式相比，沃格特博士的发明具备多项优势。)”及本段内容可知，本段主要是通过比较的方法来展开陈述的。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文可知，文章主要介绍了研究人员发明了一种像牙膏一样化合物，它的主要成分是氢氧化镁，与水反应生成氢，从而为油箱提供燃料。所以D选项“Toothpaste” in Your Tank(你油箱中的“牙膏”)作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。 第二节（共5题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 DeepSeek:A Rising Star in the AI Field In recent years, the field of artificial intelligence has seen great advancements, and one name that has been making waves is DeepSeek. ____16____ DeepSeek is an innovative AI technology developed by Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Co, Ltd.

A March 2023 report estimated that AI having the ability ___37___ (generate) content could do a quarter of all the work currently done by humans. Across the European Union and the US, the report further notes,300 million jobs could be lost to automation. Thankfully, it’s not all ___38___ (discourage) news. There are still things that involve distinctly human ___39___(quality) , like emotional intelligence and outside-the-box thinking. And moving into roles that center on those skills could help reduce the chances of ___40___(replace). There are generally three categories that are going to be relatively insulated (不受影响的) in the foreseeable future. The first would be jobs that are ___41___(true) creative. The second such as nurses, business consultants and investigative journalists. These are jobs ___42___ you need a very deep understanding of people. The third safe zone are jobs that really require lots of ___43___(flexible) in unpredictable environments. Many trade jobs—think electricians, welders (电焊工) and the like—fall ___44___ this umbrella.

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! Where are the parts?” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. Rolling up my sleeves, I carefully connected everything. It was a piece of cake to me. “Done!” I announced confidently. After a few adjustments, the internet was up and running. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Before long, notifications started showing up — people were noticing. My abilities made a difference!(96词) Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered with joy as she began bustling about, packing flowers. Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone was on their feet, moving quickly to keep up with the growing orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. To our surprise, the roses sold out in just half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century, Jude,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized that being competent wasn’t about avoiding mistakes. It was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths.(100词) 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了暑假爸爸带Jude去奶奶的农场，但Jude去年在农场时因忘记锁门，导致山羊进了奶奶邻居Jackson先生的花田，最后毁了所有的玫瑰花，现在Jackson回到农场感到紧张，Jude在Jackson先生来找奶奶帮忙时试图躲避，Jackson却很高兴见到他并说去年只是一次意外，奶奶询问擅长电脑的Jude是否能帮忙在网上卖玫瑰花。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“也许我可以成为一个真正有能力的人。”可知，第一段可描写Jude组装电脑并开始在网上卖玫瑰花。 ②由第二段首句内容“几个小时内，订购玫瑰的订单如潮水般涌来。”可知，第二段可描写玫瑰花很快被卖完以及Jude的感悟。 2.续写线索：组装电脑——开始在网上售卖——接到大量订单——大家为订单忙碌——玫瑰花售空——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①宣布：announce/declare ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/delight/happiness ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts.（由关系副词where引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label.（由从属连词as引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省常州高级中学 2024～2025学年第二学期高一年级期末测试 英语试卷 2025.6 说明：1. 以下题目的答案请全部填写在答题卡上； 2. 本卷总分150分，考试时间120分钟。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

B When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was repeated throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often discourage her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact. According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I don’t think food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.” Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division (分配) of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means sometimes eating more cookies than carrots. Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.” I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.” 4. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. She is worried about her kids’ weight. B. She is interested in making food. C. She is particular about what she eats. D. She is critical of the way she was fed. 5. Which of the following would Markey disagree with? A Allowing kids to eat cookies sometimes. B. Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. C. Talking with kids about school at mealtimes. D. Offering various foods to kids at fixed times. 6. What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”? A. Eat up what is provided for them. B. Share their food with other kids. C. Make diet decisions on their own. D. Help their parents do the dishes. 7. What does the author think of the strategies she has been following? A. Expensive. B. Unbearable. C. Workable. D. Innovative. C Have you ever noticed how the email icon (图标) on many computers and smartphones is of an envelope? Or how camera phones make the sound of a real camera clicking when you take a photo, even though there’s no shutter to open or close? These are examples of skeuomorphs, which is when new things take on the appearance or sound of the object they’ve replaced. Why would new things want to look like something old? It’s all to do with human psychology (心理学). Psychologist James Gibson says one of the ways people understand the world is through affordances — objects whose shape tells you how to use them. When creating new digital technologies, inventors like Steve Jobs of Apple used skeuomorphs so people would know how to use their products. By showing people an image of something they already knew how to use, it made using a computer or smartphone easier. However, as people became more familiar with modern technology, some designers argued that skeuomorphs were no longer necessary. Indeed, the younger generation don’t need visual references to older items they’ve never used. This led to something called flat design, where computer desktops and smartphone home screens started to do away with skeuomorphism. Skeuomorphs made a comeback, though, with smart watches. Many smart watches took on the appearance of an old-fashioned watch, with a clock face. This was to encourage people who didn’t like digital watches to consider buying a smart watch. While these are the ways skeuomorphs are used today, that doesn’t mean it’s only a modern phenomenon. In fact, the word was first used in 1899 by the archaeologist Henry Colley March, who realized that some ancient artefacts (人工制品) kept the appearance of older objects, even though there was no practical reason for them to do so. When ancient Greek builders moved from using wood to stone, they recreated some of the characteristics of wooden buildings. From ancient Greek architecture to 21st century technology, skeuomorphs have been a key feature of scientific progress. So, when you wonder about the objects of the future, take a look around. Chances are that they will look a lot like the objects of the past. 8. Which of the following is an example of skeuomorphs? A. Facebook B. Starbucks C. Flashlight D. Booking 9. How would people feel about skeuomorphs? A. User-friendly. B. Energy-saving. C. Safety-centered. D. Cost-effective. 10. Why did some designers think skeuomorphs unnecessary? A. Flat design began to take off throughout the world. B. Young people disliked traditional designs of common icons. C. The existing standards of skeuomorphism had been updated. D. Users developed a better understanding of modern technology. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The prediction about future objects. B. The key feature of scientific progress. C The ever-lasting presence of skeuomorphs. D. The design philosophies of skeuomorphism. D On paper, hydrogen (氢气) looks like a dream fuel. In practice, things are trickier. Storing meaningful quantities of hydrogen gas requires compressing (压缩) it several hundred times. Transforming it into liquid state is another option, but one that requires cooling the stuff to -253℃. Either process requires rugged tanks. Over time, hydrogen gas can pass slowly into metals, weakening them and potentially causing damage. Tanks must be built from special materials designed to avoid this breakdown. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute led by Marcus Vogt, think that supplying hydrogen as goop (糊状) offers a way around some of its limitations. They have been experimenting with a chemical compound that can be pumped into a container and then persuaded to give off its hydrogen on demand. Their invention, which they nickname “powerpaste”, looks like toothpaste. Its main ingredient is magnesium hydride, a compound that when introduced to water, reacts with it to form hydrogen and magnesium hydroxide. The escaped hydrogen can then be redirected into a fuel container, where it reacts with oxygen from the air to generate electric power. The magnesium hydroxide waste is self-emptied from the reactor. Dr Vogt’s invention offers several advantages over batteries, petrol and more traditional ways of handling hydrogen. One is the storage of energy that either batteries or petrol can manage. A-second is ease of refilling, which is simply a matter of replacing an empty container of paste with a full one, and topping up the water, which is stored in a separate tank. A third advantage is that, unlike a battery, the paste does not gradually lose its stored energy if it is left on the shelf. Moreover, the paste itself is harmless, and so are the reaction’s by-products. But there are still more to work through. Magnesium hydride reacts only slowly with water. To address this, Dr Vogt and his team have found a chemical additive that greatly speeds up the reaction. They have also found a way to ensure that the reaction can be controlled to supply only as much hydrogen as is needed at any given moment. 12. Which of the following best explains “rugged” underlined in Paragraph 1? A. Creative. B. Delicate. C. Huge. D. Tough. 13. What can we know about the invention according to Paragraph 3? A. Magnesium hydride mixed with water releases hydrogen. B. Water and electricity are necessary in the process. C. Several chemical reactions occur in the same tank. D. The remaining waste needs removing with extra help. 14. How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed? A. By quoting sayings. B. By drawing comparisons. C. By providing examples. D. By explaining a theory. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. New Clean Energy. B. Dream Fuel: Hydrogen Gas. C. Advantages of Hydrogen Goop.. D. “Toothpaste” in Your Tank. 第二节（共5题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 DeepSeek:A Rising Star in the AI Field In recent years, the field of artificial intelligence has seen great advancements, and one name that has been making waves is DeepSeek. ____16____ DeepSeek is an innovative AI technology developed by Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Co, Ltd.

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
