He started using a wheelchair when he was two years old. When he turned five, he started attending elementary school in June 2019, and every day had to be pushed to the end of the road to wait for his school bus by his parents, Tim and Nikea. If he was running late for the bus, he had to wait for up to 15 minutes out whatever the weather was. In September, Ryder’s father, Tim, put up a patio (露台) umbrella at the end of his driveway to provide some shelter. However, with the wind and rain here in New England, it didn’t help much and Ryder still got wet and cold. Desperately, Tim who runs an electronics company, placed a post on Facebook, turning to his community to see if anyone could have an old bus hut (棚) which helps to protect Ryder from the bad weather. After knowing about Ryder’s problem, three local students in Bradford, Rhode Island, decided to build a new bus hut for Ryder during their construction lessons, worrying that snow would be falling soon and Ryder would have a rough time. They worked hard on the project for several weeks, learning new skills through YouTube to create the structure. About $300 worth of wood was donated and the rest of the materials were purchased by Tim for $600. The hut was so huge that it could accommodate both Ryder and one of his parents or a nurse comfortably, and was finally delivered to their home six weeks later on November 2. “We were shocked. It was much bigger than we expected. Ryder loved it. He did like to go out in it every day before school,” Tim said. The family sent a photo of Ryder in the bus shelter and thanked the teens for their hard work. This project brought his community together, showing that there is kindness in this world. 4. What do we know about Ryder? A. He suffered a lot on his way to school. B. He was born in 2013 with a physical disability. C. He longed for a new umbrella to get some shelter. D. He was driven to school by his parents Tim and Nikea. 5. What can be inferred about the three students who built the bus hut for Ryder? A. They were hired by Tim to complete the project. B. They were motivated by a desire to help him out. C. They built the hut as part of a school competition. D. They intended to put their previous skills into practice. 6. What does the underlined word “accommodate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Be tolerant to. B. Provide space for. C. Provide home for. D. Be accustomed to. 7. What message does this passage convey? A. Hard work pays off. B. It is never too old to learn. C. Kindness makes a difference. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了天生残疾的男孩Ryder因等校车时饱受风雨之苦，父亲求助社区后，三名学生自发为他建造了一个宽敞的巴士亭，体现了社区的善意与团结。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In September, Ryder’s father, Tim, put up a patio (露台) umbrella at the end of his driveway to provide some shelter. However, with the wind and rain here in New England, it didn’t help much and Ryder still got wet and cold. (今年9月，Ryder的父亲Tim在自家车道的尽头搭了一把露台伞，为Ryder提供了一些庇护。然而，由于新英格兰这里的风和雨，这并没有多大帮助，Ryder仍然又湿又冷)”可知，Ryder上学路上受苦。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“After knowing about Ryder’s problem, three local students in Bradford, Rhode Island, decided to build a new bus hut for Ryder during their construction lessons, worrying that snow would be falling soon and Ryder would have a rough time. (得知Ryder的问题后，罗德岛布拉德福德的三名当地学生决定在他们的建筑课上为Ryder建造一个新的公共汽车小屋，他们担心很快就会下雪，Ryder会过得很艰难)”可知，三名学生因担心下雪会让Ryder受苦而打算为他建造巴士亭，因此他们出于帮助Ryder的意愿而行动。故选B项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“About $300 worth of wood was donated and the rest of the materials were purchased by Tim for $600. The hut was so huge (大约价值300美元的木材被捐赠，其余的材料由蒂姆以600美元的价格购买。小屋太大了)”和下文“both Ryder and one of his parents or a nurse comfortably (Ryder和他的父母或一个护士都很舒服)”可知，此处描述建造起来的小屋的空间大小情况，指能为多人提供足够的空间，画线词指“提供空间”。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“This project brought his community together, showing that there is kindness in this world. (该项目凝聚了社区，展现了世间的善意)”可知，文章主要讲述了天生残疾的男孩Ryder因等校车时饱受风雨之苦，父亲求助社区后，三名学生自发为他建造了一个宽敞的巴士亭，体现了社区的善意与团结。因此，文章传达的信息是“善意能改变现状”。故选C项。 C Laughter, in response to funny events, actually takes a lot of work, because it activates many areas of the brain: areas that control motor, emotional, cognitive and social processing. Researchers now appreciate laughter’s power to improve physical and mental well-being (健康). People begin laughing when they are babies, which helps develop muscles and upper body strength. Laughter is not just breathing. It relies on complex combinations of facial muscles, often involving movement of the eyes, head and shoulders. By activating the neural (神经的) pathways of emotions like joy, laughter can improve your mood and make your physical response to stress less intense. A good sense of humor and the laughter that follows depend on an abundant measure of social intelligence and working memory resources. Laughter, like humor, typically comes from recognizing the oddness of a situation. You need to mentally resolve the surprising behavior or event—otherwise you won’t laugh; you might just be confused instead. Inferring the intentions of others and taking their perspective can increase the intensity of the laughter and amusement you feel. To “get” a joke or humorous situation, you need to be able to see the lighter side of things. You must believe that other possibilities besides the literal meaning exist. Laughter creates bonds with others. Linguist Don Nilsen points out that laughs seldom happen when alone, supporting their strong social role. For example, public speakers and comedians try to get a laugh to make audiences feel psychologically closer to them. By practicing a little laughter each day, you can improve social skills that may not come naturally to you. When you laugh in response to humor, you share your feelings with others and learn from the risks that your response will be accepted by others and not be rejected. Laughter also produces positive emotions. These feelings—like amusement, happiness and joy—build resiliency (复原力) and increase creative thinking. They increase subjective well-being and life satisfaction. Researchers find that these positive emotions experienced with humor and laughter are related to appreciating the meaning of life. 8. How does laughter help improve our well-being? A. It helps with breathing. B. It activates various brain areas. C It affects facial muscles. D. It improves physical strength. 9. What is necessary for experiencing laughter according to Paragraph 3? A. Having a high level of intelligence. B. Maintaining a general outlook on life. C. Discovering the strangeness of a situation. D. Understanding the literal meaning of a joke. 10. Why do speakers and comedians aim to make listeners laugh? A. To show their wisdom of life. B. To demonstrate their presentation style. C. To make the presentation more challenging. D. To create psychological closeness with listeners. 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To stress the positive effects of laughter. B. To provide a general definition of laughter. C. To highlight the social importance of laughter. D. To instruct readers on how to practice laughter. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲述了笑对身心健康的多方面益处。文章强调，笑与幽默带来的积极情感有助于人们更好地理解生活的意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Laughter, in response to funny events, actually takes a lot of work, because it activates many areas of the brain: areas that control motor, emotional, cognitive and social processing. Researchers now appreciate laughter’s power to improve physical and mental well-being(健康).(笑，作为对有趣事件的反应，实际上需要付出很多努力，因为它激活大脑的许多区域：控制运动、情感、认知和社会处理的区域。研究人员现在认识到笑对改善身心健康的力量)”可知，笑能够激活大脑的许多区域，从而改善我们的身心健康。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Laughter, like humor, typically comes from recognizing the oddness of a situation.(笑，就像幽默一样，通常来自于认识到一种情况的奇特之处)”以及“You need to mentally resolve the surprising behavior or event—otherwise you won’t laugh; you might just be confused instead.(你需要在心理上解决这个令人惊讶的行为或事件——否则你不会笑；你可能会感到困惑)”可知，要体验到笑，需要认识到一种情况的奇特之处。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“For example, public speakers and comedians try to get a laugh to make audiences feel psychologically closer to them.(例如，公众演讲者和喜剧演员试图让观众发笑，让他们在心理上感觉更接近自己)”可知，演讲者和喜剧演员的目标是让听众发笑，是为了与听众建立心理上的亲近感。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Researchers now appreciate laughter’s power to improve physical and mental well-being(健康).(研究人员现在认识到笑对改善身心健康的力量)”以及后文对笑的好处和作用的详细阐述，如笑能够激活大脑区域、改善心情、减轻压力、增强社交技能、产生积极情绪等，可以推断出作者的主要目的是强调笑对身心健康的积极影响。故选A。 D Virtual reality (VR) technology from video games and GPS-like apps is now entering hospitals, helping doctors work more safely and successfully. Dr. Ryan Broderick, a doctor at the University of California San Diego, recently tested Apple’s Vision Pro headset with “spatial (空间的) computing” during surgeries (外科手术), becoming one of the first doctors in the U. S. to try this technology. “With these headsets, we can project medical images into the real world of the surgery room,” Broderick explains. “We can make screens as big as a wall or adjust them to the perfect position.” This technology mixes digital images with real-world views, letting doctors see 3D models of a patient’s body — like where a tumor (肿瘤) is — almost like giving them Xray view. In the past, doctors had to frequently turn their heads to check screens during complex surgeries, leading to neck and shoulder pain. Now, spatial computing shows all key information right in front of their eyes. “It works like a car direction system — highlighting danger areas or warning us to avoid important areas,” says Broderick. The tech also helps train new doctors. Teachers can use virtual screens to show body structures, point out key areas with glowing arrows, or even draw where to make cuts on a 3D heart model. “Students can watch the teacher’s virtual explanations, which is clearer than reading textbooks!” Broderick adds. This hands-on learning helps trainees master skills faster. Top U. S. hospitals like Johns Hopkins are already testing similar systems. Though the equipment is expensive and needs software improvements, Broderick remains hopeful: “This isn’t just new tools — it’s a revolution in healthcare. In 10 years, technology like this could help millions get better treatment.” From video games to life-saving surgeries, VR is proving that cool tech can truly change lives. 12. How can headsets help with surgeries according to paragraph 2? A. By making the surgery room brighter. B. By letting doctors avoid looking at screens. C By helping patients stay calm during surgery. D. By showing 3D pictures of the patient’s body. 13. What is one of the benefits of using VR for doctors? A. It allows them to perform surgeries without any help. B. It reduces physical stress and potential job-related pain. C. It enables them to communicate directly with patients. D. It allows them to work without any medical images. 14. What is Broderick’s attitude toward VR’s future in healthcare? A. Negative. B. Neutral. C. Positive. D. Doubtful. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. What Is the Future of VR in Hospitals? B. How Is VR Changing the World of Surgery? C. What Are the Challenges of VR in Hospitals? D. Why Is VR Technology Important for Patients? 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了虚拟现实技术在手术中的应用及其带来的好处。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This technology mixes digital images with real-world views, letting doctors see 3D models of a patient’s body — like where a tumor (肿瘤) is — almost like giving them Xray view. (这项技术将数字图像与现实世界的视图相结合，让医生看到患者身体的3D模型——比如肿瘤在哪里——几乎就像给他们X光视野)”可知，头戴设备通过展示患者身体的3D图像来帮助手术。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In the past, doctors had to frequently turn their heads to check screens during complex surgeries, leading to neck and shoulder pain. Now, spatial computing shows all key information right in front of their eyes. (在过去，医生在复杂手术过程中不得不频繁转头查看屏幕，导致颈部和肩部疼痛。现在，空间计算将所有关键信息直接显示在他们的眼前)”可知，使用虚拟现实技术对医生的好处之一是它减轻了身体压力和潜在的职业相关疼痛。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Though the equipment is expensive and needs software improvements, Broderick remains hopeful: “This isn’t just new tools — it’s a revolution in healthcare. In 10 years, technology like this could help millions get better treatment.” (尽管设备昂贵且需要软件改进，但Broderick仍然充满希望：“这不仅仅是新工具——这是医疗保健领域的一场革命。10年后，这样的技术可以帮助数百万人获得更好的治疗。”)”可推知，Broderick对虚拟现实技术在医疗保健领域的未来持积极态度。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Virtual reality (VR) technology from video games and GPS-like apps is now entering hospitals, helping doctors work more safely and successfully. (来自电子游戏和类似GPS应用程序的虚拟现实(VR)技术现在正在进入医院，帮助医生更安全、更成功地工作)”可知，本文主要讲述了虚拟现实技术如何改变手术世界，B选项“How Is VR Changing the World of Surgery? (虚拟现实技术如何改变手术世界？)”最符合文章标题。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to add green tech to your home Green tech involves combining technology and science to create environmentally friendly products. The idea is by using products and services in the home to reduce energy consumption, waste, or harmful effects on the environment, we can all help the planet. ____16____ Install smart light bulbs One quick way to reduce energy use is to switch all your light bulbs to energy-efficient versions called smart bulbs and use a virtual assistant to control them. These bulbs tend to use about 7 to 9.5 watts of power yet provide the same amount of light a 60-watt ordinary bulb offers. ____17____ Just use your phone to shut them down. ____18____ Smart plugs are a great option, too, for controlling devices like televisions, coffee makers, or almost anything that plugs into a wall socket to work. Devices like these use energy just by being plugged in, so using your phone or virtual assistant to turn the plugs on or off as needed helps stop energy drain in its tracks. Upcycle or recycle your old tech Tech is everywhere in our homes, and when a device gets old, we tend to replace it with a newer, better, faster version. It’s okay to get the latest device, but why not reuse and repurpose the older ones? For example, you can upcycle your old computers and laptops by repurposing them into home security monitors. Got an old Android phone? ____19____ It’s not hard to start adding green tech to your home. ____20____ Once you start, you’ll quickly see how convenient green tech can be and how easy it is to start using it. A. Add smart plugs everywhere B. Forgot to turn off the lights? C. Anyone can achieve it easily. D. Upcycle it into a remote control for your TV. E. Upcycle it instead of throwing it into the dust bin. F. The real difficulty is in deciding to take that first small step today. G.

Silence!” Mangat Madam suddenly entered the class. She announced next week would be math week. “I’d like each of you to work on a project. You could do it individually or in a group.” She instructed. “The topic for the project needs approving tomorrow and it has to be displayed at the math week exhibition. The best project will be awarded and there is also a surprise gift from my side,” she added. Joyce, who is extremely good at math, sat in the corner seat of the first bench with Karan , an average. Karan asked Joyce if they could work on the math project together. Joyce replied in a prideful tone, "Ha-ha you want to join me. I think I will do the project on my own.” Joyce wanted to get awarded and the surprise gift all for himself from Mangat Madam. After deep consideration, Joyce decided to work on a math magic quiz on the circuit board (电路板). The next day in school, Mangat Madam arrived in the classroom and all the children submitted their topics for the math exhibition. They all chose to work in a group except Joyce. In the following days, Joyce gathered all the materials for the project such as wires, bulbs (灯泡), a switch and a thin plywood board (胶合板). He worked out a few mathematical basic operations (运算) to be fixed on the board so that when the wire of the circuit touched the right answer, the bulb glowed. Joyce completed the project and was happy with the result. The evening before the exhibition, while packing his school bags, Joyce again checked the project to see if it was working fine. Alas! All the lights that were to glow did not seem to light at all. Without finding the reason, Joyce was tensed up. However, he decided to take the same project to the school as he couldn’t change the topic at the last minute. Then came the next day, and everybody was fascinated by the exhibition. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 It was Joyce’s turn to display his project. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the teacher announced Karan’s team was the winner. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 It was Joyce’s turn to display his project. Making his way to the platform with heavy steps, Joyce placed all the materials for his project well and began to conduct his math magic quiz on the circuit board. He prayed in his heart that his lights would glow again but in vain. Hearing other students whispering to each other, Joyce’s face flushed with shame. He ducked his head and stepped back to his seat. And then Karan’s team showed their project. With joint efforts, they made it. Finally, the teacher announced Karan’s team was the winner. All the children burst into thunderous applause on hearing that. Karan and his partners walked up to the front with great excitement. They were awarded and also received the surprise gift from Mangat Madam. After class, Joyce approached Karan, expressed admiration for his team’s project and congratulated them on their success sincerely. That day Joyce learnt the biggest lesson of his life: it is always better to work as a team rather than working alone. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了乔伊斯拒绝了同学卡兰邀请一起做项目的请求，说要自己独立完成。到了展示作品这天，乔伊斯的作品失败了，卡兰小组却获得了成功，乔伊斯十分羞愧，还是向卡兰表示祝贺，并且明白了团队合作总比单打独斗要好。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“轮到乔伊斯展示他的作品了”可知，第一段可描写乔伊斯展示作品的经过以及失败受到同学的议论。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，老师宣布卡兰的队伍获胜”可知，第二段可描写卡兰的队伍获胜后，乔伊斯表示祝贺以及乔伊斯的感悟。 2.续写线索：乔伊斯展示作品——展示失败——卡兰成功——卡兰队伍获胜——乔伊斯表示祝贺——乔伊斯感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①放置：place/put ②实施：conduct/carry out ③成功：make it/succeed 情绪类 ①欣赏：admiration/appreciation ②激动：excitement/thrill 【点睛】[高分句型1] Making his way to the platform with heavy steps, Joyce placed all the materials for his project well and began to conduct his math magic quiz on the circuit board.

B Ryder was born with a physical disability and has never been able to walk. He started using a wheelchair when he was two years old. When he turned five, he started attending elementary school in June 2019, and every day had to be pushed to the end of the road to wait for his school bus by his parents, Tim and Nikea. If he was running late for the bus, he had to wait for up to 15 minutes out whatever the weather was. In September, Ryder’s father, Tim, put up a patio (露台) umbrella at the end of his driveway to provide some shelter. However, with the wind and rain here in New England, it didn’t help much and Ryder still got wet and cold. Desperately, Tim who runs an electronics company, placed a post on Facebook, turning to his community to see if anyone could have an old bus hut (棚) which helps to protect Ryder from the bad weather. After knowing about Ryder’s problem, three local students in Bradford, Rhode Island, decided to build a new bus hut for Ryder during their construction lessons, worrying that snow would be falling soon and Ryder would have a rough time. They worked hard on the project for several weeks, learning new skills through YouTube to create the structure. About $300 worth of wood was donated and the rest of the materials were purchased by Tim for $600. The hut was so huge that it could accommodate both Ryder and one of his parents or a nurse comfortably, and was finally delivered to their home six weeks later on November 2. “We were shocked. It was much bigger than we expected. Ryder loved it. He did like to go out in it every day before school,” Tim said. The family sent a photo of Ryder in the bus shelter and thanked the teens for their hard work. This project brought his community together, showing that there is kindness in this world. 4. What do we know about Ryder? A. He suffered a lot on his way to school. B. He was born in 2013 with a physical disability. C. He longed for a new umbrella to get some shelter. D. He was driven to school by his parents Tim and Nikea. 5. What can be inferred about the three students who built the bus hut for Ryder? A. They were hired by Tim to complete the project. B. They were motivated by a desire to help him out. C. They built the hut as part of a school competition. D. They intended to put their previous skills into practice. 6. What does the underlined word “accommodate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Be tolerant to. B. Provide space for. C. Provide home for. D. Be accustomed to. 7. What message does this passage convey? A. Hard work pays off. B. It is never too old to learn. C. Kindness makes a difference. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C Laughter, in response to funny events, actually takes a lot of work, because it activates many areas of the brain: areas that control motor, emotional, cognitive and social processing. Researchers now appreciate laughter’s power to improve physical and mental well-being (健康). People begin laughing when they are babies, which helps develop muscles and upper body strength. Laughter is not just breathing. It relies on complex combinations of facial muscles, often involving movement of the eyes, head and shoulders. By activating the neural (神经的) pathways of emotions like joy, laughter can improve your mood and make your physical response to stress less intense. A good sense of humor and the laughter that follows depend on an abundant measure of social intelligence and working memory resources. Laughter, like humor, typically comes from recognizing the oddness of a situation. You need to mentally resolve the surprising behavior or event—otherwise you won’t laugh; you might just be confused instead. Inferring the intentions of others and taking their perspective can increase the intensity of the laughter and amusement you feel. To “get” a joke or humorous situation, you need to be able to see the lighter side of things. You must believe that other possibilities besides the literal meaning exist. Laughter creates bonds with others. Linguist Don Nilsen points out that laughs seldom happen when alone, supporting their strong social role. For example, public speakers and comedians try to get a laugh to make audiences feel psychologically closer to them. By practicing a little laughter each day, you can improve social skills that may not come naturally to you. When you laugh in response to humor, you share your feelings with others and learn from the risks that your response will be accepted by others and not be rejected. Laughter also produces positive emotions. These feelings—like amusement, happiness and joy—build resiliency (复原力) and increase creative thinking. They increase subjective well-being and life satisfaction. Researchers find that these positive emotions experienced with humor and laughter are related to appreciating the meaning of life. 8. How does laughter help improve our well-being? A. It helps with breathing. B. It activates various brain areas. C. It affects facial muscles. D. It improves physical strength. 9. What is necessary for experiencing laughter according to Paragraph 3? A. Having a high level of intelligence. B. Maintaining a general outlook on life. C. Discovering the strangeness of a situation. D. Understanding the literal meaning of a joke. 10. Why do speakers and comedians aim to make listeners laugh? A. To show their wisdom of life. B. To demonstrate their presentation style. C. To make the presentation more challenging. D. To create psychological closeness with listeners. 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To stress the positive effects of laughter. B. To provide a general definition of laughter. C. To highlight the social importance of laughter. D. To instruct readers on how to practice laughter. D Virtual reality (VR) technology from video games and GPS-like apps is now entering hospitals, helping doctors work more safely and successfully. Dr. Ryan Broderick, a doctor at the University of California San Diego, recently tested Apple’s Vision Pro headset with “spatial (空间的) computing” during surgeries (外科手术), becoming one of the first doctors in the U. S. to try this technology. “With these headsets, we can project medical images into the real world of the surgery room,” Broderick explains. “We can make screens as big as a wall or adjust them to the perfect position.” This technology mixes digital images with real-world views, letting doctors see 3D models of a patient’s body — like where a tumor (肿瘤) is — almost like giving them Xray view. In the past, doctors had to frequently turn their heads to check screens during complex surgeries, leading to neck and shoulder pain. Now, spatial computing shows all key information right in front of their eyes. “It works like a car direction system — highlighting danger areas or warning us to avoid important areas,” says Broderick. The tech also helps train new doctors. Teachers can use virtual screens to show body structures, point out key areas with glowing arrows, or even draw where to make cuts on a 3D heart model. “Students can watch the teacher’s virtual explanations, which is clearer than reading textbooks!” Broderick adds. This hands-on learning helps trainees master skills faster. Top U. S. hospitals like Johns Hopkins are already testing similar systems. Though the equipment is expensive and needs software improvements, Broderick remains hopeful: “This isn’t just new tools — it’s a revolution in healthcare. In 10 years, technology like this could help millions get better treatment.” From video games to life-saving surgeries, VR is proving that cool tech can truly change lives. 12. How can headsets help with surgeries according to paragraph 2? A. By making the surgery room brighter. B. By letting doctors avoid looking at screens. C. By helping patients stay calm during surgery. D. By showing 3D pictures of the patient’s body. 13. What is one of the benefits of using VR for doctors? A. It allows them to perform surgeries without any help. B It reduces physical stress and potential job-related pain. C. It enables them to communicate directly with patients. D. It allows them to work without any medical images. 14. What is Broderick’s attitude toward VR’s future in healthcare? A. Negative. B. Neutral. C. Positive. D. Doubtful. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A.

Silence!” Mangat Madam suddenly entered the class. She announced next week would be math week. “I’d like each of you to work on a project. You could do it individually or in a group.” She instructed. “The topic for the project needs approving tomorrow and it has to be displayed at the math week exhibition. The best project will be awarded and there is also a surprise gift from my side,” she added. Joyce, who is extremely good at math, sat in the corner seat of the first bench with Karan , an average. Karan asked Joyce if they could work on the math project together. Joyce replied in a prideful tone, "Ha-ha you want to join me. I think I will do the project on my own.” Joyce wanted to get awarded and the surprise gift all for himself from Mangat Madam. After deep consideration, Joyce decided to work on a math magic quiz on the circuit board (电路板). The next day in school, Mangat Madam arrived in the classroom and all the children submitted their topics for the math exhibition. They all chose to work in a group except Joyce. In the following days, Joyce gathered all the materials for the project such as wires, bulbs (灯泡), a switch and a thin plywood board (胶合板). He worked out a few mathematical basic operations (运算) to be fixed on the board so that when the wire of the circuit touched the right answer, the bulb glowed. Joyce completed the project and was happy with the result. The evening before the exhibition, while packing his school bags, Joyce again checked the project to see if it was working fine. Alas! All the lights that were to glow did not seem to light at all. Without finding the reason, Joyce was tensed up. However, he decided to take the same project to the school as he couldn’t change the topic at the last minute. Then came the next day, and everybody was fascinated by the exhibition. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 It was Joyce’s turn to display his project. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the teacher announced Karan’s team was the winner. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
