第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and all-electric vehicles all use battery packs to power their electric motors. The type of battery used varies depending on the type of vehicle you are driving. Hybrids tend to have the smallest batteries, while plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and fully-electric vehicles (EVs) have larger batteries. Take a look as below.
Lithium-Ion Batteries (锂离子电池)
It is the same technology used in smartphones and laptop computers. Very efficient and offering excellent high-temperature performance, they are currently the best option for holding a stable charge and are recyclable. However, lithium-ion batteries have come under a lot of examination for the not so eco-friendly way the materials for them are mined. For instance, it takes 500,000 gallons of water to refine one ton of lithium. Nevertheless, most of today’s EVs use lithium-ion battery packs.
A newer type of lithium-ion battery, called lithium iron phosphate (磷酸铁锂)(LFP for short) contains fewer critical minerals, making them cheaper and more environmentally-friendly to manufacture. LFP batteries don’t offer quite the same ability to rapidly charge and discharge, but they’re making mainstream EVs more affordable than ever.
Nickel-Metal Hydride Batteries(镍氢电池)
You’ll mostly find nickel-metal-hydride (or NiMH) battery packs in hybrid vehicles that combine a gasoline engine with electric motors. These cars use gasoline power to recharge the onboard battery. Nickel-metal hydride batteries generally last longer than lithium-ion batteries and are safe to use. The drawbacks are that they generate a lot of heat at high temperatures, and have higher producing cost.
Solid-State Batteries
Solid-state batteries represent a cutting-edge breakthrough in electric vehicle (EV) energy storage. Employing solid materials to replace conventional liquid counterparts, these batteries exhibit an exceptional energy density—significantly surpassing lithium-ion technology’s. This advancement enables a single charge to support 800+ kilometers of range. Safer (no leakage risks) and more heat-resistant, they’re set to enter mass markets in years, potentially revolutionizing EV performance and user expectations.
1. Which is the characteristic of lithium-ion batteries?
A. They have identical amount of chemicals.
B. They are recyclable, eco-friendly and affordable.
C. They are the most commonly used batteries in EVs.
D. They have more potential than solid-state batteries.
2. Which batteries are mostly used in vehicles with gasoline engines?
A. Solid-state batteries.
B. Lithium-ion batteries.
C. Lithium iron phosphate batteries.
D. Nickel-metal-hydride batteries.
3. Where can we find this text?
A. In a popular science magazine. B. In a scientific research paper
C. In a literary review. D. In an advertisement
B
China is witnessing a shift in its work culture. A quiet revolution is underway as corporate giants implement reforms. Midea, the appliance giant has launched an anti-overtime initiative, with its CEO dismissing overtime as largely performative. “We need to simplify valueless business activities — over 95 percent of overtime is formalistic and meaningless,” he said.
These changes are consistent with the government’s priorities: restricting “neijuan” (involution with excessive competition but diminishing returns) and boosting domestic consumption. In March, authorities introduced measures to limit overtime culture and protect workers’ rest rights, including adding two public holidays. The goal is to encourage spending by giving people more free time.
Many workers welcome these reforms. Past cases of overwork-related health issues at companies like Pinduoduo and ByteDance have raised concerns. Although China’s Supreme Court declared the “996” schedule illegal in 2021, enforcement remains inconsistent, and some firms still use “big-week, small-week” alternating schedules. In Beijing’s tech hub Haidian, employees like Ms. Tang, who used to work until 9:30 pm, now finish by 7 p.m. at her new job. Younger workers are increasingly rejecting late hours, though economic pressures remain. Ms. Li, a 36-year-old e-commerce worker, took only six of her 15 annual leave days last year, reflecting broader challenges in work-life balance.
Service industry workers face even tougher conditions, often getting just a few days off monthly. A restaurant chef said most colleagues choose extra pay over rest. While reducing overtime is difficult, these reforms mark progress toward healthier work habits in China.
4. Why has the appliance giant taken measures on working time?
A. Because working excessively brings health problems.
B. Because they go in accordance with national priorities.
C. Because most overtime is regarded as unnecessary.
D. Because 95% of overtime is related to staff performances.
5. Which is not the intention of the government’s actions?
A. To stimulate economy. B. To control involution.
C. To protect workers’ rights. D. To add two public holidays.
6. What can we infer in paragraph 3 and 4?
A. Some workers attach greater importance to income than rest.
B. Tech companies strictly follow the Supreme Court’s rules.
C. Some firms begin to take flexible actions like big-week.
D. Younger workers reject overtime work with economic foundation.
7. How does the author illustrate the challenges of work-life balance in China?
A. By making comparison. B. By giving examples.
C. By citing statistics. D. By analyzing theories.
C
In contemporary society, we find ourselves at a curious crossroads regarding solitude (独处) . Recent studies reveal a significant increase in solitary living, with more individuals choosing to dine, travel, and reside alone than at any point in recorded history. While mental health experts rightly highlight the dangers of chronic (慢性的) loneliness, this important discussion often overlooks a crucial distinction - the difference between involuntary isolation and what psychologists term “positive solitude,” a restorative state associated with enhanced well-being and personal growth.
Actually, solitude has various benefits confirmed both by academic study and personal experiences. Quality alone time serves as an emotional reset button, offering space for self-reflection and psychological recovery. The commercial sector has taken note, with an emerging market for solitude-enhancing products and spaces. Yet despite these indicators of value, cultural prejudices persist, particularly in societies that equate constant connectivity with success.
The critical factor determining solitude’s impact lies in its quality and intentionality. Passive digital consumption-particularly the endless browsing through social media feeds-fails to deliver solitude’s psychological benefits. Authentic solitude requires deliberate disconnection: periods dedicated to self-directed activities, uninterrupted reflection, and emotional self-adjustment. This explains the paradox (矛盾) where many recognize solitude’s importance for mental health yet struggle to experience its restorative effects.
Younger generations face particular challenges in this regard, often replacing meaningful solitude with virtual interactions. The path forward involves thoughtful reframing-regarding alone time as “self-connection rather than isolation, and understanding solitude as complementary (相互补充的) to social needs rather than oppositional”.
In our hyper-connected age, the growing preference for solitude may represent not social withdrawal, but a natural correction to constant connectivity-an attempt to reclaim the quiet spaces where we reconnect with our authentic selves. As we navigate this complex field, it becomes increasingly clear that the ability to be comfortably alone is not just a personal preference, but a vital life skill for maintaining psychological balance in an increasingly demanding world.
8. What do we know about mental health experts in paragraph 1?
A. They believe loneliness enhances well-being.
B. They fail to distinguish different types of solitude.
C. They hold solitary living is on the rise.
D. They regard solitude as involuntary isolation.
9. Which of the following belongs to quality alone time?
A. Periods dedicated to surfing the Internet. B. Time spent in emotional restoration.
C. Periods dedicated to seeking products. D. Time spent in connectivity with success.
10. According to paragraph 4, what is the key difference between viewing solitude as “self-connection” versus “isolation”?
A. Self-connection suggests a positive chosen state.
B. Self-connection implies profound social interaction
C. Isolation is more scientific and beneficial to us.
D. Isolation can coexist with social interaction.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the article?
A. What is the definition of solitude? B. Why should we remain alone in the digital age?
C. Why alone time is good for you? D. How should we boost the power of solitude?
D
2023’s Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded in equal parts to Alain Aspect of the University of Paris-Saclay, John F. Clauser, and Anton Zeilinger of the University of Vienna, for their pioneering work in quantum mechanics (量子力学) and quantum information science in the 20th century.
Working independently each of the three researchers forged new experiments demonstrating and investigating quantum entanglement (纠缠), the curious phenomenon in which two or more particles exist in a so-called entangled state, where an action taken on one of the particles can instantly ripple (扩散) through the entire entangled group of particles, predicting the other particles’ behavior, even if they are far apart — whether they are in the same room as the observer or in a galaxy on the opposite side of the universe.
Although this phenomenon has become an essential aspect of modern quantum technologies, it is so counter-intuitive and seemingly impossible that Albert Einstein once famously derided it as “ghost-like action at a distance.” Thus, it was another proof that humans are always advancing in doubts.
Collectively, the trio’s research has contributed greatly to quantum information science, the scientific field supporting the ongoing race to develop practical devices and techniques to achieve breakthroughs in computing, communications and cryptography (密码学). Continued research in quantum communications was facilitated by the launch of China’s quantum satellite “Micius”, which allowed scientists to achieve quantum key distribution between China and Austria, laying a foundation for building a global quantum-secured communication network.
“The work of Aspect, Clauser and Zeilinger provides the practical theoretical method and conclusive experimental measurements that underline the distinction between the quantum and classical worlds” says Andrew Cleland, a quantum physicist from Chicago.
John Preskill, a leading quantum information scientist, notes that many mature technologies are already “quantum”. “But those technologies,” he says, have only scratched the surface of how quantum theory has modified our view of what’s possible in the universe.”
Despite the numerous emerging applications for quantum entanglement, Zeilinger said that what most inspires him remains the mystery it still poses about the nature of reality. “What does this really mean?”—in a basic way, are still unanswered in my eyes, he said. “And that is an avenue for new research.”
12. What made the three researchers win the award?
A. Their establishment of the quantum mechanics science.
B. Their pioneering cooperation in quantum mechanics research.
C. Their ground-breaking research in quantum entanglement.
D. Their confirmation of the existence of quantum entanglement.
13. What does the underlined “derided” in paragraph3 mean?
A. looked down upon B. broke away from C. tried out for D. properly relied on
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Stating the underlying logic of quantum science.
B. Showing the applications of quantum science.
C. Comparing different breakthroughs in quantum science.
D. Erasing doubts about quantum science.
15. What does Zeilinger suggest?
A. Making use of the finding. B. Leaving quantum science as it is.
C. Clarifying the purpose. D. Conducting further research.

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。
As more people treat our dogs like members of the family, a curious new challenge is emerging: dogs who act like actors or actresses. Experts say some pets may be developing a real dependence on human attention, and it’s not always healthy. ____16____ And often, it’s because we’ve unintentionally reinforced that behaviour. Luckily, we can help them reset. Below, experts share several warning signs showing your dog might be addicted to attention, and how to gently bring things back into balance.
____17____
If your dog spins, barks, or does a full sit-stay-rollover routine just to catch your eye, it might be relying on such movements to get affection. ____18____ What to do: Reward calm, quiet moments. Over time, this helps your dog learn that just being with you is enough.
It interrupts everything (including your WeChat calls)
Your dog waits until you’re on a work call to climb onto your lap? That’s no coincidence. Dogs notice patterns. If you react to their interruptions during busy moments, they’ll repeat it. It’s learned. What to do: Teach a “settle” cue (指令) using a mat or blanket, and build positive associations with staying there. ____19____
It gets jealous when you show affection to others.
____20____ Sound familiar? This is what we call “affection guarding.” It’s not vanity (虚荣心) . It’s about emotional reassurance. What to do: Show your dog that love isn’t a limited resource. Pet another animal or person while giving your dog praise or a treat, so your dog links it with positive feelings.
A. Toys can also provide quiet distraction.
B. It became silent and annoyed when ignored.
C. It performs on cue, even when there is no cue.
D. Even time spent calmly in another room can cultivate their confidence.
E. Your dog comes between you and your partner, children, or other pets.
F. It’s sweet and clever but it shows your dog may not know how else to engage with you.
G. Left unchecked, it can lead to behavioral problems, frustration, and over-dependence.

Spelling and grammar can ____26____. The wonder of words won’t.
And it ____27____ me that if Mrs. White had used her red pen more precisely, I probably wouldn’t be telling you about this now. She was a rather extraordinary teacher — to allow the joy, wonder and excitement of expression to ____28____ — however faultily — like that, because to blossom is better than not to blossom. And a bud once nipped never opens.
I used to ____29____ beautiful a lot. I never could quite remember that the e went ____30____ the a. It ____31____ my teacher in high school to no end. If I was going to employ the word with such brilliance, she figured the ____32____ I could do was spell it right. Eventually the e’s and a’s settled into their right places. Glad I didn’t wait on them, ____33____. Pretty is easier to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you ____34____ sometimes.

The morning mist still surrounded the pine trees as I tightened the belts of my backpack my breath visible in the cool autumn air. At 22, this road trip through the Colorado Rockies was meant to be my graduation gift to myself-a week of hiking and photographing golden trees before starting my corporate job. Little did I know that the sharp curve ahead on Highway 82 would redefine my understanding of time, courage, and second chances.
At around 5:30 p.m., I was driving along the Highway, a steep road that splits through the southern Colorado Rockies. The rented Jeep Cherokee had just rounded a hairpin turn when a sudden landslide changed everything. Gravel (碎石) scattered like marbles beneath the tires as I overcorrected, sending the vehicle skidding sideways (打滑). In a minute, it was being pushed along by mud that was swallowing everything in its path. Within seconds, my car was rolling down off the cliffside.
I don’t know how long I was unconscious, but when I woke up, I found the car had landed on a small rock amid trees that had come down with the slide. On one side of me was the mountain. On the other, a steep drop of about 3,000 feet into a river. Through the cracked windshield, I watched blood drip rhythmically from a cut on my forehead, each droplet splattering the broken dashboard (汽车仪表台) signaling the death was approaching. My left leg pulsed with white — hot pain, pinned beneath the accordioned (像手风琴一样折叠的) dashboard. Fear coiled in my stomach when I spotted tendrils of smoke curling from the hood. I tried opening my door but was overcome by sharp chest pain. I’d later learn that I’d suffered a broken breastbone.
The screaming noise of the ruined water tank mixed with my heavy breathing as I reached my phone-no signal.

Fortunately, four passers-by happened to spot my car the next morning.

China is witnessing a shift in its work culture. A quiet revolution is underway as corporate giants implement reforms. Midea, the appliance giant has launched an anti-overtime initiative, with its CEO dismissing overtime as largely performative. “We need to simplify valueless business activities — over 95 percent of overtime is formalistic and meaningless,” he said.
These changes are consistent with the government’s priorities: restricting “neijuan” (involution with excessive competition but diminishing returns) and boosting domestic consumption. In March, authorities introduced measures to limit overtime culture and protect workers’ rest rights, including adding two public holidays. The goal is to encourage spending by giving people more free time.
Many workers welcome these reforms. Past cases of overwork-related health issues at companies like Pinduoduo and ByteDance have raised concerns. Although China’s Supreme Court declared the “996” schedule illegal in 2021, enforcement remains inconsistent, and some firms still use “big-week, small-week” alternating schedules. In Beijing’s tech hub Haidian, employees like Ms. Tang, who used to work until 9:30 pm, now finish by 7 p.m. at her new job. Younger workers are increasingly rejecting late hours, though economic pressures remain. Ms. Li, a 36-year-old e-commerce worker, took only six of her 15 annual leave days last year, reflecting broader challenges in work-life balance.
Service industry workers face even tougher conditions, often getting just a few days off monthly. A restaurant chef said most colleagues choose extra pay over rest. While reducing overtime is difficult, these reforms mark progress toward healthier work habits in China.
4. Why has the appliance giant taken measures on working time?
A. Because working excessively brings health problems.
B. Because they go in accordance with national priorities.
C. Because most overtime is regarded as unnecessary.
D. Because 95% of overtime is related to staff performances.
5. Which is not the intention of the government’s actions?
A. To stimulate economy. B. To control involution.
C. To protect workers’ rights. D. To add two public holidays.
6. What can we infer in paragraph 3 and 4?
A. Some workers attach greater importance to income than rest.
B. Tech companies strictly follow the Supreme Court’s rules.
C. Some firms begin to take flexible actions like big-week.
D. Younger workers reject overtime work with economic foundation.
7. How does the author illustrate the challenges of work-life balance in China?
A. By making comparison. B. By giving examples.
C. By citing statistics. D. By analyzing theories.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Midea, the appliance giant has launched an anti overtime initiative, with its CEO dismissing overtime as largely performative. ‘We need to simplify valueless business activities — over 95 percent of overtime is formalistic and meaningless,’ he said. (家电巨头美的发起了一项反加班倡议,其首席执行官认为加班大多是作秀。他说:‘我们需要简化无价值的商业活动——超过95%的加班是形式主义且毫无意义的。’)”可知,家电巨头采取工作时间措施是因为大部分加班被认为是是作秀,是不必要的。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“These changes are consistent with the government’s priorities: restricting ‘neijuan’ (involution with excessive competition but diminishing returns) and boosting domestic consumption. In March, authorities introduced measures to limit overtime culture and protect workers’ rest rights, including adding two public holidays. The goal is to encourage spending by giving people more free time. (这些变化与政府的优先事项一致:限制‘内卷’(过度竞争但回报递减)和促进国内消费。3月份,当局出台措施限制加班文化,保护劳动者休息权,包括增加两个公共假期。目标是通过给人们更多的空闲时间来鼓励消费。)”可知,增加两个公共假期是措施,不是政府行动的意图。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“A restaurant chef said most colleagues choose extra pay over rest. (一位餐馆厨师说,大多数同事选择额外报酬而不是休息。)”可推断出,一些工人更看重收入而不是休息。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Past cases of overwork related health issues at companies like Pinduoduo and ByteDance have raised concerns. (过去,拼多多和字节跳动等公司出现的与过度工作相关的健康问题引发了人们的担忧。)”和“Ms. Tang, who used to work until 9:30 pm, now finish by 7 p.m. at her new job. Younger workers are increasingly rejecting late hours, though economic pressures remain. Ms. Li, a 36-year-old e-commerce worker, took only six of her 15 annual leave days last year, reflecting broader challenges in work-life balance. (唐女士过去常常工作到晚上9点半,现在她的新工作是晚上7点下班。尽管经济压力依然存在,但越来越多的年轻员工拒绝加班。36岁的李女士是一名电子商务工作者,去年她15天的年假只休了6天,这反映了工作与生活平衡面临的更广泛挑战。)”等可知,作者通过举例的方式说明中国工作与生活平衡的挑战。故选B项。
C
In contemporary society, we find ourselves at a curious crossroads regarding solitude (独处) . Recent studies reveal a significant increase in solitary living, with more individuals choosing to dine, travel, and reside alone than at any point in recorded history. While mental health experts rightly highlight the dangers of chronic (慢性的) loneliness, this important discussion often overlooks a crucial distinction - the difference between involuntary isolation and what psychologists term “positive solitude,” a restorative state associated with enhanced well-being and personal growth.
Actually, solitude has various benefits confirmed both by academic study and personal experiences. Quality alone time serves as an emotional reset button, offering space for self-reflection and psychological recovery. The commercial sector has taken note, with an emerging market for solitude-enhancing products and spaces. Yet despite these indicators of value, cultural prejudices persist, particularly in societies that equate constant connectivity with success.
The critical factor determining solitude’s impact lies in its quality and intentionality. Passive digital consumption-particularly the endless browsing through social media feeds-fails to deliver solitude’s psychological benefits. Authentic solitude requires deliberate disconnection: periods dedicated to self-directed activities, uninterrupted reflection, and emotional self-adjustment. This explains the paradox (矛盾) where many recognize solitude’s importance for mental health yet struggle to experience its restorative effects.
Younger generations face particular challenges in this regard, often replacing meaningful solitude with virtual interactions. The path forward involves thoughtful reframing-regarding alone time as “self-connection rather than isolation, and understanding solitude as complementary (相互补充的) to social needs rather than oppositional”.
In our hyper-connected age, the growing preference for solitude may represent not social withdrawal, but a natural correction to constant connectivity-an attempt to reclaim the quiet spaces where we reconnect with our authentic selves. As we navigate this complex field, it becomes increasingly clear that the ability to be comfortably alone is not just a personal preference, but a vital life skill for maintaining psychological balance in an increasingly demanding world.
8. What do we know about mental health experts in paragraph 1?
A. They believe loneliness enhances well-being.
B. They fail to distinguish different types of solitude.
C. They hold solitary living is on the rise.
D. They regard solitude as involuntary isolation.
9. Which of the following belongs to quality alone time?
A. Periods dedicated to surfing the Internet. B. Time spent in emotional restoration.
C. Periods dedicated to seeking products. D. Time spent in connectivity with success.
10. According to paragraph 4, what is the key difference between viewing solitude as “self-connection” versus “isolation”?
A. Self-connection suggests a positive chosen state.
B. Self-connection implies profound social interaction
C. Isolation is more scientific and beneficial to us.
D. Isolation can coexist with social interaction.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the article?
A. What is the definition of solitude? B. Why should we remain alone in the digital age?
C. Why alone time is good for you? D. How should we boost the power of solitude?
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了独处的好处,指出关键在于其质量和主动性,还提到年轻一代面临的挑战,强调独处是保持心理平衡的重要生活技能。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“While mental health experts rightly highlight the dangers of chronic (慢性的) loneliness, this important discussion often overlooks a crucial distinction the difference between involuntary isolation and what psychologists term “positive solitude,” a restorative state associated with enhanced well-being and personal growth. (虽然心理健康专家正确地强调了长期孤独的危险,但这场重要的讨论往往忽略了一个关键的区别——非自愿孤立和心理学家所说的‘积极独处’之间的区别,‘积极独处’是一种与幸福感提升和个人成长相关的恢复性状态。)”可知,心理健康专家未能区分不同类型的独处。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Quality alone time serves as an emotional reset button, offering space for self-reflection and psychological recovery. (高质量的独处时间就像一个情绪重置按钮,为自我反思和心理恢复提供空间。)”可知,花在情绪恢复上的时间属于高质量的独处时间。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The path forward involves thoughtful reframing regarding alone time as “self-connection rather than isolation, and understanding solitude as complementary (相互补充的) to social needs rather than oppositional.” (未来的道路需要进行深思熟虑的重新构建——将独处时间视为‘自我连接’而非‘孤立’,并理解独处与社会需求是相互补充的,而非对立的。)”可知,将独处视为“自我连接”意味着独处与社会需求是相互补充的,而非对立的,这是一种积极的、自主选择的状态。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第二段中“Actually, solitude has various benefits confirmed both by academic study and personal experiences. Quality alone time serves as an emotional reset button, offering space for self-reflection and psychological recovery. (实际上,独处有各种好处,这已得到学术研究和个人经验的证实。高质量的独处时间就像一个情绪重置按钮,为自我反思和心理恢复提供空间。)”和最后一段中“As we navigate this complex field, it becomes increasingly clear that the ability to be comfortably alone is not just a personal preference, but a vital life skill for maintaining psychological balance in an increasingly demanding world. (当我们在这个复杂的领域中摸索前行时,越来越明显的是,能够舒适地独处不仅仅是一种个人偏好,更是在这个要求日益苛刻的世界中保持心理平衡的一项重要生活技能。)”可知,文章主要论述了独处的好处。所以C项“Why alone time is good for you? (为什么独处时间对你有好处?)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。故选C项。

2023’s Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded in equal parts to Alain Aspect of the University of Paris-Saclay, John F. Clauser, and Anton Zeilinger of the University of Vienna, for their pioneering work in quantum mechanics (量子力学) and quantum information science in the 20th century.
Working independently, each of the three researchers forged new experiments demonstrating and investigating quantum entanglement (纠缠), the curious phenomenon in which two or more particles exist in a so-called entangled state, where an action taken on one of the particles can instantly ripple (扩散) through the entire entangled group of particles, predicting the other particles’ behavior, even if they are far apart — whether they are in the same room as the observer or in a galaxy on the opposite side of the universe.
Although this phenomenon has become an essential aspect of modern quantum technologies, it is so counter-intuitive and seemingly impossible that Albert Einstein once famously derided it as “ghost-like action at a distance.” Thus, it was another proof that humans are always advancing in doubts.
Collectively, the trio’s research has contributed greatly to quantum information science, the scientific field supporting the ongoing race to develop practical devices and techniques to achieve breakthroughs in computing, communications and cryptography (密码学). Continued research in quantum communications was facilitated by the launch of China’s quantum satellite “Micius”, which allowed scientists to achieve quantum key distribution between China and Austria, laying a foundation for building a global quantum-secured communication network.
“The work of Aspect, Clauser and Zeilinger provides the practical theoretical method and conclusive experimental measurements that underline the distinction between the quantum and classical worlds” says Andrew Cleland, a quantum physicist from Chicago.
John Preskill, a leading quantum information scientist, notes that many mature technologies are already “quantum”. “But those technologies,” he says, have only scratched the surface of how quantum theory has modified our view of what’s possible in the universe.”
Despite the numerous emerging applications for quantum entanglement, Zeilinger said that what most inspires him remains the mystery it still poses about the nature of reality. “What does this really mean?”—in a basic way, are still unanswered in my eyes, he said. “And that is an avenue for new research.”
12. What made the three researchers win the award?
A. Their establishment of the quantum mechanics science.
B. Their pioneering cooperation in quantum mechanics research.
C. Their ground-breaking research in quantum entanglement.
D. Their confirmation of the existence of quantum entanglement.
13. What does the underlined “derided” in paragraph3 mean?
A. looked down upon B. broke away from C. tried out for D. properly relied on
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A Stating the underlying logic of quantum science.
B. Showing the applications of quantum science.
C. Comparing different breakthroughs in quantum science.
D. Erasing doubts about quantum science.
15. What does Zeilinger suggest?
A. Making use of the finding. B. Leaving quantum science as it is.
C. Clarifying the purpose. D. Conducting further research.

As more people treat our dogs like members of the family, a curious new challenge is emerging: dogs who act like actors or actresses. Experts say some pets may be developing a real dependence on human attention, and it’s not always healthy. ____16____ And often, it’s because we’ve unintentionally reinforced that behaviour. Luckily, we can help them reset. Below, experts share several warning signs showing your dog might be addicted to attention, and how to gently bring things back into balance.
____17____
If your dog spins, barks, or does a full sit-stay-rollover routine just to catch your eye, it might be relying on such movements to get affection. ____18____ What to do: Reward calm, quiet moments. Over time, this helps your dog learn that just being with you is enough.
It interrupts everything (including your WeChat calls)
Your dog waits until you’re on a work call to climb onto your lap? That’s no coincidence. Dogs notice patterns. If you react to their interruptions during busy moments, they’ll repeat it. It’s learned. What to do: Teach a “settle” cue (指令) using a mat or blanket, and build positive associations with staying there. ____19____
It gets jealous when you show affection to others.
____20____ Sound familiar? This is what we call “affection guarding.” It’s not vanity (虚荣心) . It’s about emotional reassurance. What to do: Show your dog that love isn’t a limited resource. Pet another animal or person while giving your dog praise or a treat, so your dog links it with positive feelings.
A. Toys can also provide quiet distraction.
B. It became silent and annoyed when ignored.
C. It performs on cue, even when there is no cue.
D. Even time spent calmly in another room can cultivate their confidence.
E. Your dog comes between you and your partner, children, or other pets.
F. It’s sweet and clever but it shows your dog may not know how else to engage with you.
G. Left unchecked, it can lead to behavioral problems, frustration, and over-dependence.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. F 19. A 20. E

考查动词词义辨析。句意:我过去常常把“beautiful”拼错。A. mistake弄错;B. mispronounce读错音;C. misbehave行为不端;D. misspell拼错。根据后文“I never could quite remember that the e went 10 the a.”可知,作者记不清字母顺序,总是拼错“beautiful”这个单词。故选D项。
【30题详解】
考查介词词义辨析。句意:我总记不太清字母“e”是在字母“a”之前。A. below在……下面;B. after在……之后;C. above在……上面;D. before在……之前。“beautiful”正确拼写中“e”在“a”之前。故选D项。

40. entertainment
41. whether
42. wonders
43. but 44. highlights
45. an
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了20岁的美国YouTube网红IShowSpeed在2025年3月下旬结束了一场精彩的中国之旅,重庆成为此次旅行中最具活力的亮点,他的直播展示让世界看到了不一样的重庆,其旅行影响深远。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:他未经脚本的直播展示了这座城市高耸的摩天大楼、蜿蜒的楼梯以及标志性的洪崖洞——夜晚被霓虹灯照亮——迅速走红,在全球获得了数百万浏览量。“staircases”为名词,需用形容词修饰,“wind”的形容词形式“winding”表示“蜿蜒的”,符合语境。故填winding。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:他未经脚本的直播展示了这座城市高耸的摩天大楼、蜿蜒的楼梯以及标志性的洪崖洞——夜晚被霓虹灯照亮——迅速走红,在全球获得了数百万浏览量。此句中“receiving millions of views”为动词短语,需用副词修饰,“global”的副词形式“globally”表示“在全球范围内”,作状语。故填globally。
【38题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:在重庆,Speed沉浸在当地文化中,乘坐横跨长江的缆车,品尝麻辣火锅,同时与热情的当地人互动。“interact with sb.”是固定搭配,意为“与某人互动”,所以这里用介词with。故填with。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这样未经滤镜拍摄的场景,展现了一个打破刻板印象的重庆:一个古老小径与现代地铁共存的大城市,每个角落都有一个等待被讲述的故事。“story”与“tell”之间是被动关系,即故事是被讲述的,且“wait to do sth.”表示“等待做某事”,所以用动词不定式的被动形式“to be told”。故填to be told。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:这次旅行的影响不仅仅局限于娱乐。“beyond”为介词,后接名词作宾语,“entertain”的名词形式“entertainment”表示“娱乐”,符合语境。故填entertainment。
【41题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:通过聚焦真实的人际关系——无论是与街头小贩一起欢笑,还是惊叹于这座城市的建筑奇迹——Speed的内容挑战了西方对中国常常片面的描述。“whether...or...”是固定搭配,意为“无论是……还是……”,用于表示选择关系,符合句子语境。故填whether。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:通过聚焦真实的人际关系——无论是与街头小贩一起欢笑,还是惊叹于这座城市的建筑奇迹——Speed的内容挑战了西方对中国常常片面的描述。空处作宾语,根据语境可知这里指多个建筑奇迹,“wonder”作为“奇迹”讲时是可数名词,所以用复数形式“wonders”。故填wonders。
【43题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:正如在他的直播中看到的,重庆既不仅仅是一个“科技中心”,也不是一个“旅游目的地”,而是一个充满生机、有着鲜明对比的生态系统。“neither...nor...but...”是固定结构,意为“既不……也不……而是……”,用于连接并列成分并表达转折关系。故填but。
【44题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:这种由他的意外冒险所塑造的独特视角,凸显了民间交流在促进全球理解方面的力量。此句描述的是一般情况,用一般现在时,主语“This unique perspective”是单数,谓语动词“highlight”应用第三人称单数形式“highlights”。故填highlights。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在一个被两极化叙事主导的时代,Speed的旅程证明,最深刻的故事是那些亲身经历的,而不仅仅是报道出来的。“era”是可数名词单数,此处表示泛指“一个时代”,且“era”发音以元音音素开头,所以用不定冠词an。故填an。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The morning mist still surrounded the pine trees as I tightened the belts of my backpack, my breath visible in the cool autumn air. At 22, this road trip through the Colorado Rockies was meant to be my graduation gift to myself-a week of hiking and photographing golden trees before starting my corporate job. Little did I know that the sharp curve ahead on Highway 82 would redefine my understanding of time, courage, and second chances.
At around 5:30 p.m., I was driving along the Highway, a steep road that splits through the southern Colorado Rockies. The rented Jeep Cherokee had just rounded a hairpin turn when a sudden landslide changed everything. Gravel (碎石) scattered like marbles beneath the tires as I overcorrected, sending the vehicle skidding sideways (打滑). In a minute, it was being pushed along by mud that was swallowing everything in its path. Within seconds, my car was rolling down off the cliffside.
I don’t know how long I was unconscious, but when I woke up, I found the car had landed on a small rock amid trees that had come down with the slide. On one side of me was the mountain. On the other, a steep drop of about 3,000 feet into a river. Through the cracked windshield, I watched blood drip rhythmically from a cut on my forehead, each droplet splattering the broken dashboard (汽车仪表台) signaling the death was approaching. My left leg pulsed with white — hot pain, pinned beneath the accordioned (像手风琴一样折叠的) dashboard. Fear coiled in my stomach when I spotted tendrils of smoke curling from the hood. I tried opening my door but was overcome by sharp chest pain. I’d later learn that I’d suffered a broken breastbone.
The screaming noise of the ruined water tank mixed with my heavy breathing as I reached my phone-no signal.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Fortunately, four passers-by happened to spot my car the next morning.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
The screaming noise of the ruined water tank mixed with my heavy breathing as I reached my phone - no signal. My voices echoed through the rugged terrain as I cried out for help, the desperation and urgency evident in every strained shout that escaped my lips. The isolation of my situation weighed heavily upon me, and as the minutes turned into hours, I couldn’t help but wonder if anyone would ever hear my pleas. The wild darkness surrounding me seemed like an impenetrable fortress, holding me unconscious again in my difficult circumstances.
Fortunately, four passers-by happened to spot my car the next morning. They became my unexpected saviors, guiding me to safety. Amid the overwhelming relief, they carried me. It was a challenging rescue. Eventually, we made it to a nearby hospital. I was released ten days after my surgery, but now walk with a permanent limp. Despite the hardships, this experience transformed me into more positive, grateful individuals. It strengthened my understanding of courage and cherishing the second chance of life. A year later, I defiantly returned to the trip again, confronting my past with a triumphant gesture toward the mudslides.
