This behaviour springs from a combination of psychological reasons, social influences, and clever marketing tricks that make it tough to say no. Many of us shop to seek emotional comfort, fearing missing out on something exciting or seeking the excitement that comes with scoring a deal. Each one of us is guilty of committing the act of buying something we do not need at some point in our lives or even at this moment. Nonetheless, you should not feel hopeless to deal with this because the fact that you are recognizing the problem is already a first step to fixing it and making better financial decisions to better your future. As you slowly improve yourself, you will surely reach your goal soon. Use a Pay Advance App to Help You out However, as you do this, you should not be blamed for being in a pinch (困境). While recovering from the loss and needing money for important things this time, it is nice to have a fallback that you can count on for your problem. That’s why Australia’s leading wage advance app is available to you to borrow money to pay for the things that matter. Get your advance pay up to $2,000 and divide the bill into four equal payments. Check out the app now on the App Store or Google Play. For additional help in improving your spending habits, you can always download Wagetap. It is a leading wage advance and bill dividing app that allows you to access your pay early. Emergencies can always happen and Wagetap can help you handle life’s unexpected expenses. 1. What is the first step to overcome impulse buying? A. Ignoring the problem. B. Avoiding all purchases. C. Borrowing money immediately. D. Being aware of the behavior. 2. What is the author’s primary intention? A. To advertise a specific app. B. To criticize over consumption. C. To explain economic theories. D. To promote investment strategies. 3. Who might benefit most from this app? A. People with no income. B. Those needing emergency funds. C. People who are seeking profits. D. Those who tend to shop online. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了冲动购买的现象，并推荐了一款名为“Wagetap”的应用程序，旨在帮助用户应对财务紧急情况。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Why We Buy Things We Don’t Need?部分第二段中的句子“Nonetheless, you should not feel hopeless to deal with this because the fact that you are recognizing the problem is already a first step to fixing it and making better financial decisions to better your future.(尽管如此，你不应该感到对解决这个问题毫无希望，因为你意识到这个问题已经是解决它的第一步，并做出更好的财务决策，以改善你的未来。)”可知，克服冲动购买的第一步是认识到这个问题。故选D项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章的整体内容，作者在解释了冲动购买的原因后，重点介绍了一款名为“Wagetap”的薪资预支和账单分期应用程序，并详细说明了其功能和使用方法。这表明作者的主要目的是为这款应用程序做广告。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的句子“Emergencies can always happen and Wagetap can help you handle life’s unexpected expenses.(紧急情况总是会发生，Wagetap可以帮助你处理生活中的意外开支。)”可知，这款应用程序旨在帮助用户应对紧急情况下的资金需求，由此推测，需要紧急资金的人将从这款应用程序中受益最多。故选B项。 B As the Civil War drew to a close, tens of thousands of men were missing. Clara Barton and her small staff of the Missing Soldiers Office were able to locate over 22,000 men, some of whom were still alive. Of the 22,000 men located by the Missing Soldiers Office, 13,000 were in one place: Andersonville Prison. These men were located due to the wisdom and courage of another soldier: Atwater. As a prisoner, he was responsible for burying the men who passed away, and keeping a list of their names and the locations of their graves (坟墓). Atwater secretly kept a copy of the list for himself. When the war ended, he wanted to publish the list. He ultimately turned to Clara to do so. Together they not only published the list naming 13,000 men who died in Andersonville, they ensured each of the 13,000 men’s graves were marked. In 1868, Clara packed up her things and headed off for Europe and a break. However, she didn’t relax. Instead, she met representatives from the International Red Cross who inspired her to found the American Red Cross. Once back in America, Clara did found the American Red Cross, and set the precedent (先例) that the Red Cross will respond to natural disasters, in addition to war. Clara also advocated (主张) for America to approve the Geneva Convention. Clara worked tirelessly to serve others for the rest of her life. She responded to the Johnstown Flood and the Galveston Hurricane. She even helped out in Armenia and Cuba. She served as president of the American Red Cross until 1904, when at the age of 82 she resigned, and then started the National First Aid Association of America. At the age of ninety, Clara Barton died in her home in Glen Echo, Maryland. 4 What crucial action did Atwater take as a prisoner? A. Writing war diaries. B. Keeping secret burial records. C. Organizing escape attempts. D. Treating wounded soldiers. 5. What led Clara Barton to establish the American Red Cross? A. Her experience in the Civil War. B.

Nothing conveys that better than the great flavor of New Zealand’s wines. However, New Zealand’s wine industry struggles with issues like pesticide (杀虫剂) use, water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change impacts like droughts and disease. Fortunately, the Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand (SWNZ) program offers hope by improving the industry’s environmental practices. First launched in 1995, SWNZ was one of the world’s first sustainability certifications for winemakers. Since then, it’s been widely adopted. Members of the program must submit annual reports and undergo independent examination. Besides its commitment to environmental health, the program also focuses on employees working in the industry, climate action, water conservation, waste reduction and soil health. Over 90% of New Zealand’s vineyards (葡萄园) participate, showing the industry’s commitment. While only a small percentage of these vineyards are fully organic, most of them use eco-friendly pest control. For example, they cut off vines to increase airflow and sunlight to reduce diseases naturally. They remove some leaves sometimes to improve soil and save water. Besides, they turn to SWNZ for help to prevent the spread of unwanted diseases. Wine production also causes other environmental impacts. A lot of water is needed during the process. Therefore, most of vineyards have practices to reduce water use, including recycling cleaning water and purchasing new equipment for better water use. Together with wine, lots of waste is produced in the form of grape skins, seeds and stems. Most vineyards compost (把……制成堆肥) this waste, spread it back to the earth, or turn it into feed for livestock. New Zealand’s wine industry, though small, has global influence. In 2024, exports reached $2.1 billion, making it the country’s sixth-largest export. By taking small, consistent steps—like lighter packaging and carbon reduction—the industry aims to balance quality wine with a healthier planet. As climate challenges grow, SWNZ’s model offers lessons for industries worldwide. 8. What is the SWNZ program working on? A. Creating best wine worldwide. B. Employing workers for wineyards. C. Awarding certificates to skillful winemakers. D. Controlling the environmental impacts of winemaking. 9. What do we know about the vineyards from the examples in paragraph 3? A. Most of them are fully organic. B. Eco-friendly methods are widely used. C. The farmers gain more profits. D. Unwanted diseases have been totally prevented. 10. Which practice has been widely adopted in New Zealand? A. Using water more efficiently. B. Applying pesticide to reduce diseases. C. Reducing waste in wine production. D. Raising money for buying new equipment. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Influence of New Zealand’s Winemakers B. Benefits from New Zealand’s Wine Industry C. Developmental challenges of Wine Production D. Sustainable Solutions in New Zealand’s Wine Industry 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新西兰可持续葡萄酒种植的计划，以及新西兰葡萄酒产业的环境挑战、SWNZ 的措施及成效。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Fortunately, the Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand (SWNZ) program offers hope by improving the industry’s environmental practices.(幸运的是，“新西兰可持续葡萄酒种植计划”通过改善行业环境实践，为解决这些问题带来了希望)”以及第二段“Besides its commitment to environmental health, the program also focuses on employees working in the industry, climate action, water conservation, waste reduction and soil health.(除了致力于环境健康，项目还关注行业内员工权益、气候行动、水资源保护、废物减排和土壤健康)”可知，SWNZ的核心工作是控制酿酒业对环境的影响。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“While only a small percentage of these vineyards are fully organic, most of them use eco-friendly pest control.

The amount of spent lithium-ion batteries that need to deal with is expected to rise sharply from an estimate of 900,000 metric tons this year to 20.5 million metric tons by 2040, according to a report released by the United Nations Development Program last September. So Gao, a chemist at Fudan University in Shanghai and his colleagues wanted to find a molecule (分子) that could refill a dead cell by adding it with lithium ions. The researchers used an artificial intelligence model trained on the rules of chemistry. They fed it a database of electrochemical reactions and had it look for molecules that would meet their requirements, such as dissolving well in an electrolyte (电解质) solution and being relatively cheap to produce. The model recommended three candidates, and the team identified one of them, a salt called lithium trifluoromethanesulfinate (LiSO2CF3), as ideal. Gao and his colleagues found that the chemical mixture could significantly extend the lifetime of a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cell. An LFP battery that powers an EV can typically be charged and then discharged about 2,000 times before it is considered “dead” (when its capacity is below the 80 percent mark). By adding the electrolyte whenever the battery neared that threshold, the team was able to restore most of the cell’s capacity each time — and it carried on working almost as well as a new battery. By the end of the experiment, the cell regained 96 percent capacity after nearly 12,000 charge-discharge cycles. A follow-up experiment showed the method also worked on NMC (nickel, manganese and cobalt) lithium-ion batteries, Gao says. Fudan University is currently working with China-based battery-material maker to commercialize the method. Gao imagines a widespread system of “battery-boosting stations” where EV owners will be able to bring dead power sources to be fixed. 12. What is the purpose of the second paragraph? A. To criticize poor recycling efforts. B. To explain battery recycling chemistry. C. To show battery waste problem and research aim. D. To lead in a topic of a new battery production method. 13. How did the researchers find the right chemical for batteries? A. Through using computer analysis. B. Through trying every possible salt. C. By copying old research methods. D. By doing regular scientific experiments. 14. What does the underlined word “threshold” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Peak. B. Wavelength. C. Tune. D. Limit. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The technology is already used in all EVs. B. Market application requires business partnerships. C. Fudan University will work alone on this project. D. The system only works for experimental batteries. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国研究人员通过人工智能技术找到了一种方法，利用特定化学物质延长锂离子电池的使用寿命，从而减少废旧电池的浪费和对新电池的需求，并展望了未来电池修复站的广泛应用。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。第二段首句“The amount of spent lithium-ion batteries that need to deal with is expected to rise sharply from an estimate of 900,000 metric tons this year to 20.5 million metric tons by 2040, according to a report released by the United Nations Development Program last September.(联合国开发计划署（United Nations Development Program）去年9月发布的一份报告显示，到2040年，需要处理的废锂离子电池数量预计将从今年估计的90万吨大幅增加到2050万吨)”提到废锂电池数量将从90万吨激增至2040年的2050万吨，接着“So Gao, a chemist at Fudan University in Shanghai and his colleagues wanted to find a molecule (分子) that could refill a dead cell by adding it with lithium ions.(因此，上海复旦大学的化学家高和他的同事们想找到一种分子，可以通过添加锂离子来重新填充死细胞)”说明复旦团队的研究目标“find a molecule...”，可知本段的目的是展示电池废弃物问题的严重性和研究的目标。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The researchers used an artificial intelligence model trained on the rules of chemistry.(研究人员使用了一种经过化学规则训练的人工智能模型)”可知，本段明确说明研究人员使用人工智能模型，通过输入电化学反应数据库寻找合适的分子，属于典型的计算机分析方法。故选A。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“An LFP battery that powers an EV can typically be charged and then discharged about 2,000 times before it is considered “dead” (when its capacity is below the 80 percent mark). By adding the electrolyte whenever the battery neared that threshold, the team was able to restore most of the cell’s capacity each time — and it carried on working almost as well as a new battery. (为电动汽车供电的LFP电池通常可以充电，然后放电约2000次，然后才被认为“不工作的”（当其容量低于80%的标准时）。通过在电池接近threshold时添加电解质，该团队每次都能恢复电池的大部分容量，并且电池的工作性能几乎与新电池一样好)”可知，电池充电和放电约2000次，然后才被认为是“不工作的”，推测threshold指的是电池失效的临界值或限度。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Fudan University is currently working with China-based battery-material maker to commercialize the method.(复旦大学目前正与中国一家电池材料制造商合作，将这种方法商业化)”可推知，商业化需要企业合作。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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Dragon Boat Festival is marked by a variety of cultural practices and foods that vary by region. ____16____ These not only honor Qu Yuan but also serve as a display of teamwork and community spirit.

What began as simple weekend treats slowly turned into our cherished Saturday morning tradition. Every week, without fail, we would gather at our favorite spot, sharing stories and laughter over steaming cups of coffee and freshly baked pastries. The cafe holds a special place in our hearts, especially because of how welcoming the staff have always been to my younger sister Lily, who has Down syndrome (唐氏综合征). When she first started coming to the cafe, she was fascinated by everything around her. Now, at 14, she still loves chatting with the staff, who always listen to her with genuine interest and patience. Their kindness has made her feel at home, and it’s one of the reasons we keep coming back. Sunshine Cafe isn’t very large. But somehow, the round corner table by the bookshelf became “our table”. The baristas (咖啡师) would always greet us with a cheerful “Your spot is ready!” even if we never made reservations. That table holds so many precious memories. It’s where Lily first learned to order by herself, where we celebrated her school achievements, and where she discovered her love for hot chocolate with marshmallows. The owner, Ms. Lee, often surprises Lily with small treats — a cookie shaped like a heart, a cup with extra whipped cream, or even a little drawing on her napkin (餐巾). These small gestures have made Lily feel special and loved. Through the years, we’ve watched the seasons change through that window. That corner of the cafe has become our safe haven, a place where Lily feels completely at ease and where our family can connect without distractions. Last Saturday, however, our routine was disrupted. Our bus was delayed due to road construction, and we arrived at the cafe 20 minutes later than usual. Lily started moving nervously as we walked in. By the time we reached the door, she was visibly upset, her hands holding her bag tightly. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 The barista at the counter immediately noticed Lily’s distress. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just as I was about to explain our lateness, Lily did something unexpected. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The barista at the counter immediately noticed Lily’s distress. Before I could say anything, Ms. Lee appeared, carrying Lily’s favorite polka-dot cup filled with steaming hot chocolate. “We saved your special drink, Lily,” she said gently. “And look — I found a new book about puppies for you.” Seeing her familiar cup and the kind faces, Lily’s breathing slowed, and she managed a small smile. The staff’s thoughtfulness had once again turned a difficult moment into a comforting one. Just as I was about to explain our lateness Lily did something unexpected. She reached into her bag and pulled out a slightly wrinkled drawing she’d made of the cafe. “This is for you,” she said to Ms. Lee, “because this is my happy place.” Ms. Lee was so surprised that tears welled in her eyes as she accepted the gift. Then, Ms. Lee gave Lily a warm hug, showing her gratefulness. That morning taught us all that true happiness isn’t about fancy things, but about finding places — and people — who make you feel at home. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在过去的五年里作者一家四口经常光顾阳光咖啡馆，里面的员工对待作者患有唐氏综合症的妹妹Lily非常友好，店主Lee小姐经常给Lily制造一些小惊喜，书架旁的圆角桌仿佛成了作者一家的专属位置，承载着很多美好的回忆，然而，上周六，由于道路施工，作者一家比平时晚了20分钟到达咖啡馆，Lily显然很沮丧，双手紧紧攥着包。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“柜台的咖啡师立刻注意到了Lily的苦恼。”可知，第一段可描写咖啡店员工贴心的举动化解了Lily的不良情绪。 ②由第二段首句内容“正当我要解释我们迟到的原因时，Lily做了一件意想不到的事。”可知，第二段可描写Lily的举动以及大家的反应和感悟。 2.续写线索：贴心巨鼎——Lily逐渐平复情绪——Lily送礼物——Lee小姐感动、拥抱——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拿着：carry/hold ②出现：appear/turn up ③拥抱：give sb a hug/embrace sb 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprised/astonished ②感激：gratefulness/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1] Before I could say anything, Ms. Lee appeared, carrying Lily’s favorite polka-dot cup filled with steaming hot chocolate.（由连词before引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Ms. Lee was so surprised that tears welled in her eyes as she accepted the gift.（由so…that…引导的结果状语从句） [高分句型3] That morning taught us all that true happiness isn’t about fancy things, but about finding places — and people — who make you feel at home.（由连接词that引导宾语从句和关系代词who引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 辽宁省2024—2025学年度（下）重点高中联合体高二年级期末检测 英 语 试 卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

This behaviour springs from a combination of psychological reasons, social influences, and clever marketing tricks that make it tough to say no. Many of us shop to seek emotional comfort, fearing missing out on something exciting or seeking the excitement that comes with scoring a deal. Each one of us is guilty of committing the act of buying something we do not need at some point in our lives or even at this moment. Nonetheless, you should not feel hopeless to deal with this because the fact that you are recognizing the problem is already a first step to fixing it and making better financial decisions to better your future. As you slowly improve yourself, you will surely reach your goal soon. Use a Pay Advance App to Help You out. However, as you do this, you should not be blamed for being in a pinch (困境). While recovering from the loss and needing money for important things this time, it is nice to have a fallback that you can count on for your problem. That’s why Australia’s leading wage advance app is available to you to borrow money to pay for the things that matter. Get your advance pay up to $2,000 and divide the bill into four equal payments.

Who might benefit most from this app? A. People with no income. B. Those needing emergency funds. C. People who are seeking profits. D. Those who tend to shop online. B As the Civil War drew to a close, tens of thousands of men were missing. Clara Barton and her small staff of the Missing Soldiers Office were able to locate over 22,000 men, some of whom were still alive. Of the 22,000 men located by the Missing Soldiers Office, 13,000 were in one place: Andersonville Prison. These men were located due to the wisdom and courage of another soldier: Atwater. As a prisoner, he was responsible for burying the men who passed away, and keeping a list of their names and the locations of their graves (坟墓). Atwater secretly kept a copy of the list for himself. When the war ended, he wanted to publish the list. He ultimately turned to Clara to do so. Together they not only published the list naming 13,000 men who died in Andersonville, they ensured each of the 13,000 men’s graves were marked. In 1868, Clara packed up her things and headed off for Europe and a break. However, she didn’t relax. Instead, she met representatives from the International Red Cross who inspired her to found the American Red Cross. Once back in America, Clara did found the American Red Cross, and set the precedent (先例) that the Red Cross will respond to natural disasters, in addition to war. Clara also advocated (主张) for America to approve the Geneva Convention. Clara worked tirelessly to serve others for the rest of her life. She responded to the Johnstown Flood and the Galveston Hurricane. She even helped out in Armenia and Cuba. She served as president of the American Red Cross until 1904, when at the age of 82 she resigned, and then started the National First Aid Association of America. At the age of ninety, Clara Barton died in her home in Glen Echo, Maryland. 4. What crucial action did Atwater take as a prisoner? A. Writing war diaries. B. Keeping secret burial records. C. Organizing escape attempts. D. Treating wounded soldiers. 5. What led Clara Barton to establish the American Red Cross? A. Her experience in the Civil War. B. Being inspired by Atwater’s heroic deeds. C. Meeting International Red Cross representatives. D. The Johnstown Flood and the Galveston Hurricane. 6. Which words can best describe Clara Barton? A. Responsible and devoted. B. Strict and modest. C. Quiet and well-behaved. D. Ambitious and competitive. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The history of the Geneva Convention. B. The bad conditions at Andersonville Prison. C. Clara Barton’s meaningful work after the Civil War. D. Comparisons between Clara Barton’s and Atwater’s work. C Described as bottled poetry, wine is one of our wonderful creations. Nothing conveys that better than the great flavor of New Zealand’s wines. However, New Zealand’s wine industry struggles with issues like pesticide (杀虫剂) use, water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change impacts like droughts and disease. Fortunately, the Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand (SWNZ) program offers hope by improving the industry’s environmental practices. First launched in 1995, SWNZ was one of the world’s first sustainability certifications for winemakers. Since then, it’s been widely adopted. Members of the program must submit annual reports and undergo independent examination. Besides its commitment to environmental health, the program also focuses on employees working in the industry, climate action, water conservation, waste reduction and soil health. Over 90% of New Zealand’s vineyards (葡萄园) participate, showing the industry’s commitment. While only a small percentage of these vineyards are fully organic, most of them use eco-friendly pest control. For example, they cut off vines to increase airflow and sunlight to reduce diseases naturally. They remove some leaves sometimes to improve soil and save water. Besides, they turn to SWNZ for help to prevent the spread of unwanted diseases. Wine production also causes other environmental impacts. A lot of water is needed during the process. Therefore, most of vineyards have practices to reduce water use, including recycling cleaning water and purchasing new equipment for better water use. Together with wine, lots of waste is produced in the form of grape skins, seeds and stems. Most vineyards compost (把……制成堆肥) this waste, spread it back to the earth, or turn it into feed for livestock. New Zealand’s wine industry, though small, has global influence. In 2024, exports reached $2.1 billion, making it the country’s sixth-largest export. By taking small, consistent steps—like lighter packaging and carbon reduction—the industry aims to balance quality wine with a healthier planet. As climate challenges grow, SWNZ’s model offers lessons for industries worldwide. 8. What is the SWNZ program working on? A. Creating best wine worldwide. B. Employing workers for wineyards. C. Awarding certificates to skillful winemakers. D. Controlling the environmental impacts of winemaking. 9. What do we know about the vineyards from the examples in paragraph 3? A. Most of them are fully organic. B. Eco-friendly methods are widely used. C. The farmers gain more profits. D. Unwanted diseases have been totally prevented. 10. Which practice has been widely adopted in New Zealand? A. Using water more efficiently. B. Applying pesticide to reduce diseases. C. Reducing waste in wine production. D. Raising money for buying new equipment. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Influence of New Zealand’s Winemakers B. Benefits from New Zealand’s Wine Industry C. Developmental challenges of Wine Production D. Sustainable Solutions in New Zealand’s Wine Industry D A team of researchers in China has found a way to bring dead lithium-ion (锂) batteries back to life, potentially reducing both the amount of waste that’s quickly piling up from spent electric vehicle (EV) batteries and the need to produce as many new ones. The amount of spent lithium-ion batteries that need to deal with is expected to rise sharply from an estimate of 900,000 metric tons this year to 20.5 million metric tons by 2040, according to a report released by the United Nations Development Program last September. So Gao, a chemist at Fudan University in Shanghai and his colleagues wanted to find a molecule (分子) that could refill a dead cell by adding it with lithium ions. The researchers used an artificial intelligence model trained on the rules of chemistry. They fed it a database of electrochemical reactions and had it look for molecules that would meet their requirements, such as dissolving well in an electrolyte (电解质) solution and being relatively cheap to produce. The model recommended three candidates, and the team identified one of them, a salt called lithium trifluoromethanesulfinate (LiSO2CF3), as ideal. Gao and his colleagues found that the chemical mixture could significantly extend the lifetime of a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cell. An LFP battery that powers an EV can typically be charged and then discharged about 2,000 times before it is considered “dead” (when its capacity is below the 80 percent mark). By adding the electrolyte whenever the battery neared that threshold, the team was able to restore most of the cell’s capacity each time — and it carried on working almost as well as a new battery. By the end of the experiment, the cell regained 96 percent capacity after nearly 12,000 charge-discharge cycles. A follow-up experiment showed the method also worked on NMC (nickel, manganese and cobalt) lithium-ion batteries, Gao says. Fudan University is currently working with China-based battery-material maker to commercialize the method. Gao imagines a widespread system of “battery-boosting stations” where EV owners will be able to bring dead power sources to be fixed. 12. What is the purpose of the second paragraph? A.

How did the researchers find the right chemical for batteries? A. Through using computer analysis. B. Through trying every possible salt. C. By copying old research methods. D. By doing regular scientific experiments. 14. What does the underlined word “threshold” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Peak. B. Wavelength. C. Tune. D. Limit. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The technology is already used in all EVs. B. Market application requires business partnerships. C. Fudan University will work alone on this project. D.

What began as simple weekend treats slowly turned into our cherished Saturday morning tradition. Every week, without fail, we would gather at our favorite spot, sharing stories and laughter over steaming cups of coffee and freshly baked pastries. The cafe holds a special place in our hearts, especially because of how welcoming the staff have always been to my younger sister Lily, who has Down syndrome (唐氏综合征). When she first started coming to the cafe, she was fascinated by everything around her. Now, at 14, she still loves chatting with the staff, who always listen to her with genuine interest and patience. Their kindness has made her feel at home, and it’s one of the reasons we keep coming back. Sunshine Cafe isn’t very large. But somehow, the round corner table by the bookshelf became “our table”. The baristas (咖啡师) would always greet us with a cheerful “Your spot is ready!” even if we never made reservations. That table holds so many precious memories. It’s where Lily first learned to order by herself, where we celebrated her school achievements, and where she discovered her love for hot chocolate with marshmallows. The owner, Ms. Lee, often surprises Lily with small treats — a cookie shaped like a heart, a cup with extra whipped cream, or even a little drawing on her napkin (餐巾). These small gestures have made Lily feel special and loved. Through the years, we’ve watched the seasons change through that window. That corner of the cafe has become our safe haven, a place where Lily feels completely at ease and where our family can connect without distractions. Last Saturday, however, our routine was disrupted. Our bus was delayed due to road construction, and we arrived at the cafe 20 minutes later than usual. Lily started moving nervously as we walked in. By the time we reached the door, she was visibly upset, her hands holding her bag tightly. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 The barista at the counter immediately noticed Lily’s distress. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just as I was about to explain our lateness, Lily did something unexpected. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
