Jake Hertz and Isaac Roberts are two UR students that have launched a new business to fix this exact need: Campus Tech Repair. Hertz and Roberts started their business three weeks ago. In those three weeks, they had amazing success. In the first day they had posters up, they received nearly a dozen calls from students. Despite not having backgrounds in business, the two gladly accepted the challenges of starting up such an in-demand service. Hertz and Roberts experienced such a high demand because of the lack of any other hardware repair service on campus. The IT Center itself only provides software fixes: Hertz supposed that this was because of the increased liabilities (法律责任) faced by repair services. Hertz and Roberts did make customers sign a release of liability, yet they also wanted to build a higher level of trust. This, Hertz noted, was the only real challenge that they expected to face. Becoming directly affiliated (隶属) with or sponsored by the school could solve the problem of community trust. Hertz and Roberts have already engaged in conversation with the University toward this end. The Ain Center for Entrepreneurship they turn to seeks to “identify and create new partnerships with students, alumni, local businesses, and nonprofit organizations.” One program of the Ain Center that the two wish to look into is the “Student Incubator (孵化器).” Such a move would allow them to develop a more-permanent structure to Campus Tech Repair. The Incubator provides resources such as furnished office space, Wi-Fi, access to conference room, and guidance. Yet, there’s a problem with this. “The appeal of what we do is that we’re on campus, so we both just work out of our rooms,” Hertz said. Hertz is optimistic about the future of the business. They believe that with the support of the University, and the community, they could become an inseparable part of campus services. 4. Why did the business of Hertz and Roberts start well? A. Because it was much needed. B. Because they were well-known. C. Because they were expert in business. D. Because the school provided no software services. 5. How did they try to win customers’ trust? A. Making them sign a release of liability. B. Seeking cooperation with the university. C. Establishing partnerships with other students. D. Looking for sponsorship from local businesses. 6. For Hertz and Roberts, what’s the problem with Student Incubator? A. They can’t afford the cost of it. B. They can’t use all its resources. C. They are not qualified to join it. D. They don’t want to work in its offices. 7. What is the passage about? A. Student Incubator of the university. B. Student experts in hardware repairs. C. Students start a business on campus. D. Students work their way through university. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了 UR 大学的两名学生 Jake Hertz 和 Isaac Roberts 发现校园内缺乏硬件维修服务，从而抓住商机创办了 Campus Tech Repair 这一业务。尽管他们没有商业背景，但创业初期就取得了成功。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the first day they had posters up, they received nearly a dozen calls from students.(他们张贴海报的第一天，就接到了近十几个学生的电话)” 以及第三段 “Hertz and Roberts experienced such a high demand because of the lack of any other hardware repair service on campus.(由于校园内没有其他硬件维修服务，Hertz 和 Roberts 的业务需求极高)” 可知，他们的生意起步良好是因为市场对其业务需求很大。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Becoming directly affiliated (隶属) with or sponsored by the school could solve the problem of community trust. Hertz and Roberts have already engaged in conversation with the University toward this end.(直接隶属于学校或获得学校赞助可以解决群体信任问题。Hertz 和 Roberts 已经为此与学校展开了对话)” 可知，他们试图通过与学校合作来赢得客户信任。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。跟据第七段““The appeal of what we do is that we’re on campus, so we both just work out of our rooms,” Hertz said.(“我们所做之事的吸引力在于我们身处校园，所以我们俩都直接在自己的宿舍开展工作”Hertz 说)” 可知，对于 Hertz 和 Roberts 来说，“Student Incubator” 提供的是有家具的办公室空间等，而他们不想在办公室工作，这就是问题所在。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“One of the biggest risks a modern student faces is a broken phone or laptop. Jake Hertz and Isaac Roberts are two UR students that have launched a new business to fix this exact need: Campus Tech Repair.(现代学生面临的最大风险之一是手机或笔记本电脑坏了。Jake Hertz和Isaac Roberts是UR大学的两名学生，他们发起了一项新业务来解决这一需求：校园技术修复)”可知，文章主要围绕 UR 大学的两名学生 Jake Hertz 和 Isaac Roberts 在校园内创办硬件维修业务展开，包括创业原因、遇到的问题及未来规划等。选项 C“学生在校园创业” 符合文章主旨，故选C。 C Nietzsche (尼采) was wrong: When you gaze long enough into the abyss (深渊), the abyss does not gaze back into you. Instead, the cosmic (宇宙的) void (空白) remains silent and frightening in its vastness. When looking at the vast emptiness of the universe, there is a temptation(诱惑)to look at our tiny world with nihilism (虚无主义). To feel that our great achievements amount to nothing. That our history fails to leave a mark. That our concerns and anxieties are pointless. I’m a cosmologist, the kind of scientist who studies the origin, history and evolution of the universe. I have spent years working to understand what cosmic voids teach us. And in the course of my studies, I have learned to reject that temptation. It’s true that Earth is neither large nor long-lived, but that is only one way of measuring significance. Compared with the cosmic voids, there is something special happening on our planet. Earth is still the only known place in the entire universe where conscious beings raise their curious eyes to the sky and wonder. Earth is the only known place where humans can exist. It is the only known place where laughter, love, anger and joy exist. The only known place where we can find dance, music, and art. Our disagreements and all the beautiful complexities that make us human aren’t meaningless. The experiences in our lives are special because they will never happen in the empty expanse of most of the universe. The same lessons that cosmic voids teach us are found in the voids we encounter in our own lives. The presence of voids guarantees the opposite; they create contrast; they are full of potential. The pain we feel from loss is the last reminder of the gift of a life deeply loved. The silence before a performance is full of electric expectation. Our choice to ignore stressful news is necessary to allow us to focus on what truly matters. Artists have long understood the power of the void. The 12th-century poet Saigyo noted that the pauses between raindrops were as important as the drops themselves. The famed architect Rem celebrated the usefulness of negative spaces, declaring, “Where there is nothing, everything is possible.” The universe won’t do anything for us except give us the freedom to exist. It is our job to fill the universe with meaning and purpose. 8. What does the author suggest about the “temptation” in paragraph 2? A. It reflects humanity’s fear of cosmic emptiness. B. It strengthens people’s scientific curiosity about the void. C. It leads people to understate Earth’s unique qualities. D. It comes from the universe’s coldness to human existence. 9. Why does the author reject the temptation? A. He is a cosmologist who believes science. B. Earth remains the only known home for human experiences. C. Human experiences differ from those in voids. D. Earth’s small size and short life makes it unique. 10. What is the main purpose of paragraph 5? A. To explain why voids exist in universe and life. B. To suggest people should remove empty spaces in life. C. To analyze how emptiness in life offers significance. D. To prove filling empty spaces creates greater purpose. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Cosmic Voids: A Scientist’s Technical Analysis. B. Filling the Emptiness: Finding Meaning in the Vast Universe. C. Nietzsche Revisited: When Philosophy Meets Astronomy. D. The Silent Universe: Why Our Existence Means Nothing. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，文章通过理性论证和感性表达，探讨人类存在的意义及其与宇宙的关系，强调人类应主动为宇宙赋予意义，而非陷入虚无主义。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“When looking at the vast emptiness of the universe, there is a temptation (诱惑) to look at our tiny world with nihilism(虚无主义). (当凝视着浩瀚空旷的宇宙时，人们很容易以虚无主义的眼光看待我们这个微不足道的世界。)”和第四段中的“Earth is the only known place where humans can exist. It is the only known place where laughter, love, anger and joy exist.(地球是唯一已知的人类可以生存的地方。这是我们所知的唯一存在欢笑、爱、愤怒和喜悦的地方。)”可知，面对宇宙虚无时产生的诱惑会使人忽视地球作为人类情感和艺术唯一载体的独特性，故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Earth is still the only known place in the entire universe where conscious beings raise their curious eyes to the sky and wonder. Earth is the only known place where humans can exist. It is the only known place where laughter, love, anger and joy exist. The only known place where we can find dance, music, and art.(地球仍是整个宇宙中唯一已知的有意识生命仰望苍穹、心生好奇的地方。地球是人类唯一已知的生存之地。它是唯一已知的充满欢笑、爱、愤怒和喜悦的地方。也是唯一已知的能寻觅舞蹈、音乐和艺术的地方。)”可知，作者拒绝这种诱惑是因为地球依然是人类所能体验的一切事物的唯一已知的地方，人类的经历与在真空环境中的经历是不同的，故选 B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第五段“The presence of voids guarantees the opposite; they create contrast; they are full of potential. The pain we feel from loss is the last reminder of the gift of a life deeply loved. The silence before a performance is full of electric expectation. Our choice to ignore stressful news is necessary to allow us to focus on what truly matters. (空洞的存在则意味着相反的情况；它们营造出对比效果；它们蕴含着无限的可能。我们因失去而产生的痛苦，是对深爱着的生命所给予的礼物的最后的提醒。一场演出前的寂静充满了紧张的期待感。我们选择忽略那些令人焦虑的消息，这是必要的，以便让我们能够专注于真正重要的事情。)”可知第五段集中讲的是生活中的空虚状态会赋予生活何种意义，所以第五段的主要目的是分析生活中的空虚状态究竟蕴含着何种意义，故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“The universe won’t do anything for us except give us the freedom to exist. It is our job to fill the universe with meaning and purpose.(宇宙不会为我们做任何事情，它只会赋予我们存在的自由。我们的任务是让宇宙充满意义和目标。)”以及文章其他段落的内容可知全文围绕“宇宙虚无”与“人类主动创造意义”的对比展开，作者作为宇宙学家，反驳了尼采的观点，认为尽管宇宙浩瀚且沉默，但地球上的生命、情感和人类体验具有独特的意义，作者通过对比宇宙虚空与地球的独特性，强调人类需主动赋予生命意义，因此B项Filling the Emptiness: Finding Meaning in the Vast Universe(填补空虚：在浩瀚的宇宙中寻找意义) 精准概括了这一对立统一关系，最能概括文章大意，作为文章标题最合适，故选B项。 D Go to any movie theater or sports venue, and it’s obvious there’s an invisible bond that forms from laughing, crying, and simply feeling while brushing shoulders with others. Researches have long backed up this sense of connection, but some aspects of the phenomenon remained unclear. Now, a new study is offering insight. Writing in the journal Royal Society Open Science, Victor Chung of the École Normale Supérieure in France and his team reported how they examined the matter by inviting strangers to watch videos together in same sex pairs. Pairs of strangers watched three types of videos together: positive, negative, and neutral (中性的) with a curtain between them that was either open or closed. At the start of the experiment the researchers asked each participant whether they’d like to meet the other member of their pair again. After watching each video, participants reported their emotions and feelings of connectedness, and after seeing all three videos they were asked once again about their feelings towards the other participant. The results showed the emotional films generated stronger responses than the neutral film. Crucially, the team said participants’ feelings of connectedness within the pairs was boosted when they experienced more intense emotions. However, this was only the case when participants watched the films with the curtain between them open. The researchers said that whether or not the pairs could see each other had no impact on how positively or negatively they felt about the films. “We found that silently watching emotional films together with another individual is associated with social bonding, even when this person is a stranger and without any verbal (口头的) communication,” said Chung, the study author. The team added that the findings may help explain why people seek out group activities that generate strong emotions, “even participating in sad memorials that cause negative emotions.” In other words, because emotion bonds us, and humans have a fundamental desire to belong, we’re up for experiences one might think we’d naturally want to avoid. 12. What does “the phenomenon” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Shared emotions bond people. B. Physical touch helps tackle stress. C. A chance encounter leads to a friendship. D. Entertainment is a crucial part of human life. 13. How did the researchers get their findings? A. By analyzing participants’ emotions. B. By comparing participants’ self-reports. C. By documenting participants’ video responses. D. By stimulating participants’ desire for interaction. 14. The study found that strong bonds were indeed created between pairs only when ______. A. they were familiar with each other B. they watched neutral films together C. they were aware of the presence of each other D. they could see each other while watching the films 15. What is presented in the last paragraph of the text? A. An interpretation of the findings. B. Potential implication of the findings. C. Supporting evidence for the findings. D. The underlying logic behind the findings. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了共同观看情感视频如何促进陌生人之间的社会联系。研究通过实验发现，当陌生人一起观看情感视频并能够看到彼此时，他们的联系感会增强。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段中“Go to any movie theater or sports venue, and it’s obvious there’s an invisible bond that forms from laughing, crying, and simply feeling while brushing shoulders with others.(去任何电影院或体育场馆，很明显，通过与他人一起笑、哭和感受，会形成一种无形的联系。)”可推知“the phenomenon”指的是上文提到的“共享情感会联系人们”。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“After watching each video, participants reported their emotions and feelings of connectedness, and after seeing all three videos they were asked once again about their feelings towards the other participant.(观看每个视频后，参与者报告了他们的情绪和联系感，看完所有三个视频后，他们再次被问及对另一位参与者的感受。)”可推知，研究人员通过比较参与者的自我报告得出研究结果。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“Crucially, the team said participants’ feelings of connectedness within the pairs was boosted when they experienced more intense emotions. However, this was only the case when participants watched the films with the curtain between them open.(关键的是，研究团队表示，当参与者经历更强烈的情感时，他们之间的联系感会增强。然而，这种情况仅发生在参与者拉开窗帘观看电影时。)”可知，他们在看电影时可以互相看到对方。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段中“The team added that the findings may help explain why people seek out group activities that generate strong emotions, ‘even participating in sad memorials that cause negative emotions.’(研究团队补充说，这些发现可能有助于解释为什么人们会寻求产生强烈情感的群体活动，“甚至参加引发负面情绪的悲伤纪念活动”。)”可知，最后一段提出了研究结果的潜在意义。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。 Have you ever wondered why it feels so satisfying to sing in the shower? You are alone. You are warm. The air is moist, making your throat feel wet.____16____ You’re at once relaxed and pleasantly energized by the water. Little can take you away from the simple tasks at hand. You control the speed and pitch. And the bathroom provides wonderful resonance (共鸣). Now imagine singing while driving. You are sitting, stuck by a tight seat belt that limits airflow. Without any warm-up, you probably start right in with the first song you hear. The air is drier. And to stay awake, you may be drinking coffee, which can make you thirsty.____17____ While singing along to the radio, your voice may get lost in the noise of the song and the car. From my personal experience, I realize the importance of not only focusing but also setting the right conditions during practice. ____18____ This is why some argue against baseball players practising hitting before a game. Nervousness in unfamiliar environments may worsen a player’s mechanics and lead to a lower batting average during the game itself. ____19____ To warm up, I practise deep breathing exercises and relax my tongue with “blah blah blahs”. Brightening my face, helps make my sound more energetic. My voice becomes richer and stronger when I practise opening up my mouth by yawning, imagining the back of my mouth expanding like a frog’ s. I also adjust the way I stand.____20____ A. Practice makes perfect. B. You are standing up straight. C. You are loudly clearing your throat. D. Incorrect training may lead to negative outcomes. E. The stress of driving and staying safe keeps you tense. F. After all, an upright guitar wouldn’t sound right if it were bent. G. To ensure effective practice, I recreate my singing in the shower. 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. D 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对比淋浴时和开车时唱歌的不同感受，说明练习需专注和合适条件，还介绍了作者为有效练习重现淋浴唱歌状态的方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Have you ever wondered why it feels so satisfying to sing in the shower? You are alone. You are warm. The air is moist, making your throat feel wet.(你是否曾好奇过，为什么在淋浴时唱歌会让人感觉如此惬意？此时你独自一人，身体温暖，空气潮湿，这使得你的喉咙也感觉湿润)”以及后文“You’re at once relaxed and pleasantly energized by the water. Little can take you away from the simple tasks at hand. You control the speed and pitch. And the bathroom provides wonderful resonance (共鸣).(水给你带来的不仅是放松的感觉，还让您感到愉悦且充满活力。任何事物都无法让您分心，让你专注于手头的简单事务。你可以控制水流的速度和角度。而且这个浴室有着极佳的共鸣效果)”可知，前文描述淋浴时唱歌的舒适环境：独处、温暖、空气湿润，后文提到放松且被水赋予活力。本句描述淋浴时的常见姿势，与后文驾驶时的坐姿形成对比。故B选项“你站得笔直”符合语境，故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Now imagine singing while driving. You are sitting, stuck by a tight seat belt that limits airflow. Without any warm-up, you probably start right in with the first song you hear. The air is drier. And to stay awake, you may be drinking coffee, which can make you thirsty.(现在想象一下边开车边唱歌的情景。你坐在车里，被紧绷的安全带紧紧束缚着，限制了空气流通。在没有任何热身的情况下，你可能会直接开始唱你听到的第一首歌。空气会变得更干燥。为了保持清醒，你可能会喝咖啡，但这可能会让你感到口渴)”可知，本段对比驾驶时唱歌的不适：安全带限制呼吸、空气干燥、喝咖啡口渴。本句进一步说明驾驶时的紧张状态，与淋浴时的放松形成反差，故E选项“驾驶时的紧张情绪让你一直处于紧张状态”符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 根据上文“From my personal experience, I realize the importance of not only focusing but also setting the right conditions during practice.(从我个人的经历来看，我深知在练习过程中不仅要集中注意力，还要营造恰当的练习环境的重要性)”以及后文“This is why some argue against baseball players practising hitting before a game. Nervousness in unfamiliar environments may worsen a player’s mechanics and lead to a lower batting average during the game itself.(这就是为什么有些人反对让棒球运动员在比赛前进行击球练习。在陌生的环境中感到紧张可能会使运动员的动作变得不流畅，并导致他们在实际比赛中击球成功率降低)”可知，前文提到练习时“专注和设置合适条件”的重要性，后文举例棒球运动员赛前练习可能因环境陌生导致表现不佳。本句解释不合适的练习条件的弊端。故D选项“不正确的训练可能会导致不良后果”符合语境，故选D。 【19题详解】 根据后文“To warm up, I practise deep breathing exercises and relax my tongue with “blah blah blahs”. Brightening my face, helps make my sound more energetic. My voice becomes richer and stronger when I practise opening up my mouth by yawning, imagining the back of my mouth expanding like a frog’ s. I also adjust the way I stand.(为了热身，我会做深呼吸练习，并通过“啦啦啦”这样的声音来放松舌头。让脸部焕发光彩，有助于让我的声音更有活力。当我通过打哈欠来张开嘴巴，想象着自己的口腔像青蛙的嘴巴那样扩张开来时，我的声音就会变得更加丰富和有力。我还调整了自己的站立姿势)”可知，本段讲述作者的练习方法，G选项“重现淋浴时的唱歌状态”呼应首段淋浴唱歌的舒适体验，引出后文具体的热身和练习方式，故G选项“为了确保有效的练习，我会在淋浴时重现我的歌唱场景”符合语境，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“I also adjust the way I stand.(我还调整了自己的站立姿势)”可知，前文提到调整站姿，F选项“毕竟，如果一把竖着的吉他被弯曲了，它的声音就不会正常了” 用类比说明站姿对发声的重要性，强化“调整站姿”的合理性，衔接紧密。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Maya’s biggest dream was to open a community center where children and adults alike could learn and grow.

Her shoes stepped on wood shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight. Through the dusty windows, the morning light shone on Grandfather’s rough hands. He was gluing a maple chair leg. The wall calendar still showed January. Its yellowed pages were curling, just like dry leaves. An open order book lay on the desk. February’s page was empty. There had been no new orders since mid-January. Clara held her breath and recorded Grandfather with her phone. She focused on his quick hands as he measured angles with a metal ruler. “This might help him,” she thought, eager to show how skilled he was. However, when she posted the video online, negative comments flooded in. “Old ways for a dying business!” “No wonder the business is failing!” Saddened, Clara deleted the video quickly. A spider crawled over the empty order book. Its blank pages showed not many people wanted handmade things these days. “Want to see my treasure?” Grandpa’ s voice broke the silence. He opened a leather album filled with pencil sketches (草图) like library chairs from 1958 and park benches from 1962. A faded photo slipped out: a smiling boy missing two teeth was grinning at the camera, holding a curved (弯曲的) spoon proudly. “Timmy, my former student,” Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo. “Now he designs furniture for tall buildings. Last month’s newspaper had an article about his curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spoon.” He tapped the photo, adding, “Machines make things fast, but hands remember stories.” Clara looked at the photo — the curved spoon, Timmy’s smile, and Grandpa’s young handwriting on the back: Timmy’s first repair, age 7. Beside her, fresh wood shavings were shining. “Stories must be told,” Clara murmured, taking out her phone again. This time, she aimed to share not just the work, but the story behind it. 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。 Paragraph 1: The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. This time, her camera swept across the leather album’s sketches of Timmy’s curved spoon and lingered on a yellowed newspaper clipping featuring his iconic stairs. As Grandfather narrated their story, she zoomed in on his hands — wrinkled yet steady — shaping a piece of wood into art. The video ended with his voice, “Hands remember stories machines forget.” By noon, comments exploded, “Hands of a legend!” “Need this magic in my home!” Shares of the video skyrocketed. Amid the flood of praise, Clara spotted a message, “I’m coming to see you soon, Master-back to where the magic began!” Her eyes widened at Timmy’s profile picture which just matched the same grin from that faded photo. A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. He embraced Grandfather, tears glistening. “Your spoon taught me curves have souls,” he said, placing the curved spoon on the desk. Together, they designed a signature chair — Timmy sketching modern lines on his tablet while Grandfather penciling his classic curves. Clara captured the moment: their four hands shaping a maple chair leg together, mirroring the one Grandfather had glued a week before. When Timmy posted the video, orders poured in: new chairs with curved legs, and even wooden benches for the town park. Wood shavings danced in the sunlight as the workshop came back to life, the order book’s empty February page now filled with March’s growing demands. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了 Clara 的祖父经营的手工坊生意惨淡，Clara 首次上传祖父工作视频遭负面评价后删除。祖父向她展示了皮革相册里学生 Timmy 的相关物品，讲述 Timmy 受自己影响成为著名家具设计师的故事，Clara 决定再次拍摄视频，这次要分享手工背后的故事 。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，Clara上传了一个新视频。”可知，第一段可描述新视频的内容，如视频里展现了祖父的哪些故事和技艺，以及该视频发布后在网络上引发的反应，包括网友的评论、分享量等情况 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，蒂米走进了工作室，他现在已经是一位著名的家具设计师了。”可知，第二段可描写Timmy 来到工作室后的情节展开，如他与祖父的互动，他们之间的对话、情感交流，以及他们共同做了什么事情，最终对工作室产生了怎样的影响。 2.续写线索：上传新视频（介绍视频内容）→视频引发热烈反响（网友评论、分享）→Timmy 看到视频决定拜访→Timmy来到工作室与祖父相聚（拥抱、对话）→两人共同设计椅子（描述设计过程）→Clara记录时刻→Timmy 发布视频→订单涌入，工作室重焕生机 。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①发现：spot/find ②放置：place/put ③拥抱：embrace/hug ④开始：begin/start 情绪类 赞扬：praise/compliment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Her eyes widened at Timmy’s profile picture which just matched the same grin from that faded photo.

Jake Hertz and Isaac Roberts are two UR students that have launched a new business to fix this exact need: Campus Tech Repair. Hertz and Roberts started their business three weeks ago. In those three weeks, they had amazing success. In the first day they had posters up, they received nearly a dozen calls from students. Despite not having backgrounds in business, the two gladly accepted the challenges of starting up such an in-demand service. Hertz and Roberts experienced such a high demand because of the lack of any other hardware repair service on campus. The IT Center itself only provides software fixes: Hertz supposed that this was because of the increased liabilities (法律责任) faced by repair services. Hertz and Roberts did make customers sign a release of liability, yet they also wanted to build a higher level of trust. This, Hertz noted, was the only real challenge that they expected to face. Becoming directly affiliated (隶属) with or sponsored by the school could solve the problem of community trust. Hertz and Roberts have already engaged in conversation with the University toward this end. The Ain Center for Entrepreneurship they turn to seeks to “identify and create new partnerships with students, alumni, local businesses, and nonprofit organizations.” One program of the Ain Center that the two wish to look into is the “Student Incubator (孵化器).” Such a move would allow them to develop a more-permanent structure to Campus Tech Repair. The Incubator provides resources such as furnished office space, Wi-Fi, access to conference room, and guidance. Yet, there’s a problem with this. “The appeal of what we do is that we’re on campus, so we both just work out of our rooms,” Hertz said. Hertz is optimistic about the future of the business. They believe that with the support of the University, and the community, they could become an inseparable part of campus services. 4. Why did the business of Hertz and Roberts start well? A. Because it was much needed. B. Because they were well-known. C. Because they were expert in business. D. Because the school provided no software services. 5. How did they try to win customers’ trust? A. Making them sign a release of liability. B. Seeking cooperation with the university. C. Establishing partnerships with other students. D. Looking for sponsorship from local businesses. 6. For Hertz and Roberts, what’s the problem with Student Incubator? A. They can’t afford the cost of it. B. They can’t use all its resources. C. They are not qualified to join it. D. They don’t want to work in its offices. 7. What is the passage about? A. Student Incubator of the university. B. Student experts in hardware repairs. C. Students start a business on campus. D. Students work their way through university. C Nietzsche (尼采) was wrong: When you gaze long enough into the abyss (深渊), the abyss does not gaze back into you. Instead, the cosmic (宇宙的) void (空白) remains silent and frightening in its vastness. When looking at the vast emptiness of the universe, there is a temptation(诱惑)to look at our tiny world with nihilism (虚无主义). To feel that our great achievements amount to nothing. That our history fails to leave a mark. That our concerns and anxieties are pointless. I’m a cosmologist, the kind of scientist who studies the origin, history and evolution of the universe. I have spent years working to understand what cosmic voids teach us. And in the course of my studies, I have learned to reject that temptation. It’s true that Earth is neither large nor long-lived, but that is only one way of measuring significance. Compared with the cosmic voids, there is something special happening on our planet. Earth is still the only known place in the entire universe where conscious beings raise their curious eyes to the sky and wonder. Earth is the only known place where humans can exist. It is the only known place where laughter, love, anger and joy exist. The only known place where we can find dance, music, and art. Our disagreements and all the beautiful complexities that make us human aren’t meaningless. The experiences in our lives are special because they will never happen in the empty expanse of most of the universe. The same lessons that cosmic voids teach us are found in the voids we encounter in our own lives. The presence of voids guarantees the opposite; they create contrast; they are full of potential. The pain we feel from loss is the last reminder of the gift of a life deeply loved. The silence before a performance is full of electric expectation. Our choice to ignore stressful news is necessary to allow us to focus on what truly matters. Artists have long understood the power of the void. The 12th-century poet Saigyo noted that the pauses between raindrops were as important as the drops themselves. The famed architect Rem celebrated the usefulness of negative spaces, declaring, “Where there is nothing, everything is possible.” The universe won’t do anything for us except give us the freedom to exist. It is our job to fill the universe with meaning and purpose. 8. What does the author suggest about the “temptation” in paragraph 2? A. It reflects humanity’s fear of cosmic emptiness. B. It strengthens people’s scientific curiosity about the void. C. It leads people to understate Earth’s unique qualities. D. It comes from the universe’s coldness to human existence. 9. Why does the author reject the temptation? A. He is a cosmologist who believes science. B. Earth remains the only known home for human experiences. C. Human experiences differ from those in voids. D. Earth’s small size and short life makes it unique. 10. What is the main purpose of paragraph 5? A. To explain why voids exist in universe and life. B. To suggest people should remove empty spaces in life. C. To analyze how emptiness in life offers significance. D. To prove filling empty spaces creates greater purpose. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Cosmic Voids: A Scientist’s Technical Analysis. B. Filling the Emptiness: Finding Meaning in the Vast Universe. C. Nietzsche Revisited: When Philosophy Meets Astronomy. D. The Silent Universe: Why Our Existence Means Nothing. D Go to any movie theater or sports venue, and it’s obvious there’s an invisible bond that forms from laughing, crying, and simply feeling while brushing shoulders with others. Researches have long backed up this sense of connection, but some aspects of the phenomenon remained unclear. Now, a new study is offering insight. Writing in the journal Royal Society Open Science, Victor Chung of the École Normale Supérieure in France and his team reported how they examined the matter by inviting strangers to watch videos together in same sex pairs. Pairs of strangers watched three types of videos together: positive, negative, and neutral (中性的) with a curtain between them that was either open or closed. At the start of the experiment the researchers asked each participant whether they’d like to meet the other member of their pair again. After watching each video, participants reported their emotions and feelings of connectedness, and after seeing all three videos they were asked once again about their feelings towards the other participant. The results showed the emotional films generated stronger responses than the neutral film. Crucially, the team said participants’ feelings of connectedness within the pairs was boosted when they experienced more intense emotions. However, this was only the case when participants watched the films with the curtain between them open. The researchers said that whether or not the pairs could see each other had no impact on how positively or negatively they felt about the films. “We found that silently watching emotional films together with another individual is associated with social bonding, even when this person is a stranger and without any verbal (口头的) communication,” said Chung, the study author. The team added that the findings may help explain why people seek out group activities that generate strong emotions, “even participating in sad memorials that cause negative emotions.” In other words, because emotion bonds us, and humans have a fundamental desire to belong, we’re up for experiences one might think we’d naturally want to avoid. 12. What does “the phenomenon” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Shared emotions bond people. B. Physical touch helps tackle stress. C. A chance encounter leads to a friendship. D. Entertainment is a crucial part of human life. 13. How did the researchers get their findings? A. By analyzing participants’ emotions. B. By comparing participants’ self-reports. C. By documenting participants’ video responses. D. By stimulating participants’ desire for interaction. 14. The study found that strong bonds were indeed created between pairs only when ______. A. they were familiar with each other B. they watched neutral films together C. they were aware of the presence of each other D. they could see each other while watching the films 15.

Clara walked in quietly. Her shoes stepped on wood shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight. Through the dusty windows, the morning light shone on Grandfather’s rough hands. He was gluing a maple chair leg. The wall calendar still showed January. Its yellowed pages were curling, just like dry leaves. An open order book lay on the desk. February’s page was empty. There had been no new orders since mid-January. Clara held her breath and recorded Grandfather with her phone. She focused on his quick hands as he measured angles with a metal ruler. “This might help him,” she thought, eager to show how skilled he was. However, when she posted the video online, negative comments flooded in. “Old ways for a dying business!” “No wonder the business is failing!” Saddened, Clara deleted the video quickly. A spider crawled over the empty order book. Its blank pages showed not many people wanted handmade things these days. “Want to see my treasure?” Grandpa’ s voice broke the silence. He opened a leather album filled with pencil sketches (草图) like library chairs from 1958 and park benches from 1962. A faded photo slipped out: a smiling boy missing two teeth was grinning at the camera, holding a curved (弯曲的) spoon proudly. “Timmy, my former student,” Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo. “Now he designs furniture for tall buildings. Last month’s newspaper had an article about his curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spoon.” He tapped the photo, adding, “Machines make things fast, but hands remember stories.” Clara looked at the photo — the curved spoon, Timmy’s smile, and Grandpa’s young handwriting on the back: Timmy’s first repair, age 7. Beside her, fresh wood shavings were shining. “Stories must be told,” Clara murmured, taking out her phone again. This time, she aimed to share not just the work, but the story behind it. 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。 Paragraph 1: The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
