It was attached to the wall in the hallway and had a polished oak case. The shiny receiver hung beside the box, and I remembered our phone number — 105. I was too small to reach the phone, but I loved listening to my mother talking on it. Once, she even lifted me up to speak to my father, who was away on a business trip. It felt like magic. Soon, I discovered that there was a magical voice inside the phone — called “Information Please”. She seemed to know everything. If my mother needed a phone number or the time, she would simply ask the operator. She was always there to provide helpful answers. I was fascinated by her knowledge and kindness. One day, when my mother was visiting a neighbor, I hurt my finger while playing in the basement. I was alone and couldn’t find anyone to help. In pain and with no one to comfort me, I ran upstairs to the phone and, standing on a bench, picked up the receiver. “Information Please,” I said. The familiar voice responded kindly, asking if I was hurt badly. She advised me to put some ice on my finger to stop the pain. I felt comforted, knowing there was someone I could turn to for help. Years passed, and I moved to a different city. The magical “Information Please” disappeared with time. But when I was older, on a trip back to my hometown, I dialed the number to hear that voice again. However, it wasn’t the same. The service had been replaced by an automated (自动化的) system. I realized, as I hung up, that the voice I had once depended on was gone, but I had grown to be independent in ways I hadn’t expected. 4. What was the author’s first experience with the telephone? A. He called his father with Mum’s help. B. He used it to find information. C. He dialed his father’s number. D. He hung it in person. 5. How did “Information Please” help the author when he hurt his finger? A. She sent someone to look after him. B. She told him to seek medical help. C. She immediately contacted his mother. D. She suggested a method on pain relief. 6. Why did the author feel comforted by “Information Please”? A. Because she treated his wound at once. B. Because her voice sounded warmer than Mom’s. C. Because she made a timely response to his need. D. Because her behavior reminded him of his mother. 7. What does the author convey in the last paragraph? A. The unchanging nature of human relationships over time. B. The unavoidable change coming along with new technology. C. The loss of childhood wonder and a simple view of the world. D. The importance of having a support system during difficult times. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者儿时对电话及“Information Please”的依赖与喜爱，多年后其被自动化系统取代，体现技术带来的改变。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句“Once, she even lifted me up to speak to my father, who was away on a business trip. It felt like magic.(有一次，她甚至把我抱起来，让我和正在出差的父亲通话。那感觉就像魔法一样。)”可知，作者第一次使用电话的经历是在妈妈的帮助下给爸爸打电话。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句“She advised me to put some ice on my finger to stop the pain.(她建议我在手指上敷些冰来止痛。)”可知，当作者弄伤手指时，“Information Please”建议他用敷冰的方法来缓解疼痛。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第三、四句“The familiar voice responded kindly, asking if I was hurt badly. She advised me to put some ice on my finger to stop the pain. I felt comforted, knowing there was someone I could turn to for help.(那个熟悉的声音亲切地回应着，问我伤得重不重。她建议我在手指上敷些冰来止痛。知道有可以求助的人，我感到很安慰。)”可知，“Information Please”对作者的需求做出了及时回应，所以作者感到安慰。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The magical ‘Information Please’ disappeared with time. But when I was older, on a trip back to my hometown, I dialed the number to hear that voice again. However, it wasn’t the same. The service had been replaced by an automated (自动化的) system. I realized, as I hung up, that the voice I had once depended on was gone, but I had grown to be independent in ways I hadn’t expected.(神奇的‘Information Please’随着时间的推移消失了。但当我长大后，在一次回到家乡的旅行中，我拨打了那个号码，想再次听到那个声音。然而，情况已经不同了。这项服务已经被一个自动化系统取代了。当我挂断电话时，我意识到，我曾经依赖的那个声音已经消失了，但我却以一种意想不到的方式变得独立了。)”可知，曾经的“Information Please”服务被自动化系统取代了，这表明随着新技术的到来，不可避免地会发生变化。故选B项。 C BEIJING—The CR450 high-speed train will be the fastest train in the world when it enters commercial service. Its two sample trains shown in Beijing on Dec 30, 2024—had a test speed of 450 kilometers per hour and an operational speed of 400 km/h. The CR400, which is in service since 2017, has an operational speed of 350 km/h. The CR450’s speed advantage comes with a number of other improved features, such as a braking (刹车) system with a shorter response time, crucial for the safety of high-speed trains. After a series of trials and calculations, engineers have improved the CR450’s braking response time from 2.3 seconds to about 1.7 seconds. The CR450 has carbon fiber composite materials, reducing its overall weight, which not only helps in enhancing speed but also significantly aids in energy consumption reduction. Thus, the CR450 balances technological empowerment for increased efficiency with a reduction in energy consumption. On the foundation of raised speed, guaranteed safety and effective energy conservation, the CR450 also focuses on enhancing the passenger experience. It features built-in four-person compartments and business seats that can rotate and adjust up to 300 degrees, creating a clean and simple environment with a high level of comfort. Li Yongheng, an official from China State Railway Group, said, “China’s high-speed rail system has evolved from being a follower to a global leader, setting new international standards.” Li added that they work together to maintain and strengthen China’s leadership in high-speed rail technology and support the country’s modernization goals. China’s railway system, particularly the high-speed railway network, has seen rapid development over the past 15 years. By the end of 2024, China’s railway network covered 160,000 km, of which 46,000 km are high-speed railways, accounting for more than two-thirds of the world’s high-speed railways. With significant progress and major breakthroughs achieved in a short time, China ranks first globally. 8. What can we learn about the CR450? A. Its braking response time is longer. B. It is more environmentally friendly. C. All the seats can rotate and adjust 300 degrees. D. Its operational speed is 100 km/h faster than CR400. 9.

With significant progress and major breakthroughs achieved in a short time, China ranks first globally.(在过去的15年里，中国的铁路系统，特别是高速铁路网络，发展迅速。到2024年底，中国铁路网覆盖16万公里，其中高速铁路4.6万公里，占世界高速铁路的三分之二以上。在短时间内取得了重大进展和突破，中国在全球排名第一。)”可知，最后一段主要讲述了中国在高速铁路方面取得的成就。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章开篇介绍了CR450高速列车将成为世界上最快的列车及其测试速度和运行速度，接着对比了从2017年投入使用的CR400的运行速度，然后详细阐述了CR450在刹车系统、材料使用、乘客体验等方面相较于CR400的改进，最后通过官员的话和数据体现中国高铁系统从追随者到全球领导者的演变。所以D选项From CR400 to CR450: Evolution of China’s Trains(从CR400到CR450：中国列车的演变)，既包含了两种列车的对比，又体现了中国列车的发展演变，能全面概括文章内容。故选D项。 D When visiting a doctor a few years from now, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual version of yourself. This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be displayed onto a physician’s computer screen. Updated with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis (诊断). It also opens the door for medicines and procedures designed specifically for you, increasing recovery rates. No matter how unreal this might seem, the researchers at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) already use computer simulations (模拟) of the hearts of patients to test different treatments for a heart disorder. It would be far too dangerous to experiment this way on someone’s real heart. Digital twins are starting to be seen everywhere, monitoring the health of jet engines on airliners and helping carmakers spend fewer years on the development of new models by simulating test drives and crashes. All this is being fueled by recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), which gives twins the ability to make predictions about their physical counterparts (对应的事物), and adjust themselves on new information. Digital twins began as basic computer models of physical objects and systems and have become more advanced with computers becoming more powerful. Complex design and modeling software make it possible for many physical objects to take shape in the virtual world. Small sensors feed twins with real-time data, ensuring that they mirror their physical counterparts. Digital twins make it easier for humans to solve challenging problems, allowing people to have a look into the future, spotting problems before they materialize and testing wild ideas without real-world result. For businesses, this should mean better designs and operations. For society, the promise is equally appealing: personalized health care, and clues as to how the planet might avoid environmental catastrophe. Could these virtual twins go out of control? They might if they are programmed badly, or hacked into. Digital twins will take in mountains of data, some of it wrong and much of it raising concerns about privacy. Yet these risks are not specific to digital twins. They apply to all new technologies, as they always have and always will. The appearance of the digital mirror world will undoubtedly raise new questions, but its potential advantages are already easy to see. 12. Which of the following best describes a digital twin? A. A toy model. B. A video game. C. A virtual copy. D. A medical database. 13. Why do researchers at QMULuse computer simulations of hearts? A. To reduce the cost of the operation. B. To use real hearts more conveniently. C. To help increase patients’ recovery rates. D. To avoid the risk of experimenting on real hearts. 14. How does AI contribute to the development of digital twins? A. It creates the basic computer models of physical systems. B. It offers the ability to forecast and adjust based on new data. C. It enables the perfect simulation of all physical objects. D. It solves the complex problems in the real-world application. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the digital twins? A. Cautious. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Critical. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了数字孪生技术及其应用、优势和潜在风险。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be displayed onto a physician’s computer screen.(这个所谓的数字孪生体将是你身体的一个工作模型，可以显示在医生的电脑屏幕上)”可知，数字孪生体是一个虚拟的复制品。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“No matter how unreal this might seem, the researchers at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) already use computer simulations of the hearts of patients to test different treatments for a heart disorder. It would be far too dangerous to experiment this way on someone’s real heart.(不管这看起来多么不真实，伦敦玛丽女王大学(QMUL)的研究人员已经开始使用患者心脏的计算机模拟来测试不同心脏病的治疗方法。在别人的真心脏上这样实验太危险了)”可知，QMUL的研究人员使用计算机模拟心脏是为了避免在真实心脏上做实验的风险。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“All this is being fueled by recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), which gives twins the ability to make predictions about their physical counterparts, and adjust themselves on new information.(所有这些都是由于人工智能(AI)的最新进展而推动的，这使得数字孪生体能够对其物理对应物进行预测，并根据新信息调整自己)”可知，人工智能为数字孪生体提供了根据新数据进行预测和调整的能力。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Digital twins will take in mountains of data, some of it wrong and much of it raising concerns about privacy. Yet these risks are not specific to digital twins. They apply to all new technologies, as they always have and always will. The appearance of the digital mirror world will undoubtedly raise new questions, but its potential advantages are already easy to see.(数字孪生体将接收海量数据，其中部分数据存在错误，而大量数据还引发了人们对隐私问题的担忧。然而，这些风险并非数字孪生体所独有。实际上，它们一直且永远会适用于所有新技术。数字镜像世界的出现无疑会引发新的疑问，但其潜在优势已然清晰可见)”可知，作者对数字孪生体的态度是乐观的，认为尽管会出现新的问题，其潜在优势已经显而易见。故选C。 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 Befriend Like-Minded People One of the best ways to improve your social life is to find like-minded people. But the process of finding them becomes useless if you can’t befriend them at all. ____16____. Introduce yourself properly. Practice introducing yourself before you go out to meet new people. That first impression matters in this case. ____17____. Simply tell them it’s nice to meet them while you shake their hands, and a smile as you do these things can help, too. Set proper expectations. Just because you and someone else share an interest, opinion, or belief, that doesn’t mean you two will hit it off. ____18____. If things don’t go your way, simply shake it off, and move on. There are a lot of other people out there who will be more than willing to be friends with you. ____19____. When you finally meet a like-minded person, take advantage of the thing you already know you have in common. Start talking about your common interest and the like. Learn from each other. Grow and be more knowledgeable together. This foundation creates a really strong bond later on. Exchange numbers. Once you’ve had a pleasant exchange with a like-minded person, don’t let the opportunity of a friendship go to waste. ____20____. Then, contact them afterward saying how great of a time you had interacting with them. This lets them know that you enjoyed their company and it opens up future interactions. A. Begin exchanging knowledge B. Here are some tips on how to do it C. Be open-minded when it comes to learning D. Your introduction can be very short and brief E. It can take even longer to become friends with them F. Be sure to exchange numbers or any other contact information G. Don’t expect to be friends with every like-minded person you meet 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. G 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了与志同道合的人建立友谊的几种方法。 【16题详解】 根据空前“But the process of finding them becomes useless if you can’t befriend them at all.(但是，如果你不能成为他们的朋友，那么寻找他们的过程就会变得毫无意义。)”可知，文章讲述了如何与志同道合的人建立友谊，因此接下来的内容应该是对这一过程具体方法的介绍。所以选择项B“Here are some tips on how to do it(这里有一些如何做到这一点的建议)”符合上下文语境。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据空前“That first impression matters in this case.(在这种情况下，第一印象很重要。)”以及空后“Simply tell them it’s nice to meet them while you shake their hands, and a smile as you do these things can help, too.(当你和他们握手时，简单地告诉他们很高兴见到他们，当你做这些事情时微笑也会有所帮助。)”可知，作者强调初次印象的重要性，接下来的内容应该说明如何简单有效地进行自我介绍。所以选择项D“Your introduction can be very short and brief(你的介绍可以非常简短)”符合上下文语境。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据空前“Set proper expectations. Just because you and someone else share an interest, opinion, or belief, that doesn’t mean you two will hit it off.(设定适当的期望。仅仅因为你和别人有共同的兴趣、观点或信仰，并不意味着你们俩会合得来。)”可推知，作者强调了期望的重要性，以及空后“If things don’t go your way, simply shake it off, and move on.(如果事情不如你所愿，那就把它去掉，继续前进。)”可知，即使有共同兴趣，也不代表每个人都会成为朋友，需要设定合理的期望。所以选择项G“Don’t expect to be friends with every like-minded person you meet(不要指望你遇到的每个志同道合的人都能成为朋友)”符合上下文语境。故选G。 【19题详解】 根据空后“When you finally meet a like-minded person, take advantage of the thing you already know you have in common.(当你最终遇到一个志趣相投的人时，利用你们已经知道的共同点。)”可知，文章鼓励读者与志同道合的人分享共同兴趣并建立联系，而选项A是鼓励通过交流共同的知识来增强友谊。所以选择项A“Begin exchanging knowledge(开始交流知识)”符合上下文语境。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据空前“Once you’ve had a pleasant exchange with a like-minded person, don’t let the opportunity of a friendship go to waste.(一旦你和一个志同道合的人有过愉快的交流，不要让友谊的机会白白浪费掉。)”可知，接下来应该是关于如何进一步维持联系，选项F旨在提示读者在互动后交换联系方式，以便后续保持联系。所以选择项F“Be sure to exchange numbers or any other contact information(一定要交换电话号码或其他联系方式)”符合上下文语境。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下列短文，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。 The Washington,D.C.resident, Anna Lee ____21____ what she thought was a replica (复制品) of a Mayan vase for just $4. ____22____, it turned out to be an authentic (真正的) artifact from the ancient Mayan civilization.

Through the cheers, I heard Mom shouting, “Run, Sammy, run!” I knew without looking that she was smiling from ear to ear and clapping her hands for me. I kept my eyes straight ahead running as fast as I could. “Run, run, run,” I chanted to myself in my mind as I passed my friend Justin. I saw Justin’s red face out of the corner of my eye and wondered if my own face was that red too? “Run, run, run.” I was on fire, passing Sarah, leaving her in my dust. The coach was waiting for me at the finish line.holding the medal,for the fastest runner in kindergarten. I would wear that blue and white ribbon around my neck when we go out for ice cream to celebrate and then hang it in my room. Last night I took the collection of caps off the hook on my wall leaving it ready for my shiny new medal .I couldn’t wait to see it every day when I woke up. Dad was there in the crowd also and would pick me up and put me on his shoulders to carry around. “My son!” He would tell the other fathers, “My son won the race!” I was going to win! Faster than Sarah, I came up behind Mikey, giving my legs that extra burst of energy to pass him by. The winner, Sammy! All that running in the park was worth it! Just as I heard the roar of the crowd welcoming me to the finish line,I saw a blur out of the corner of my eye.What?There was Justin with his tomato cheeks running as fast as humanly possible,huffing and puffing like he was going to blow the house down.And then he was ir front of me.I was behind tomato face Justin.Crossing the finish line,I heard the voice over the loudspeaker boom,“Congratulations to the winner,Justin!"

My chest tightened, and tears blurred my vision. Mom rushed over, wrapping her arms around me. “You did an amazing job, Sammy!” she whispered. Justin glanced at me, his tomato cheeks now softened into a shy smile. “You were so fast,” he said, offering a high-five. Hesitating, I slapped his hand weakly. The coach approached, placing a hand on my shoulder. “Second place is still a victory,” he said. I stared at the empty hook on my wall, imagining the medal that wouldn’t hang there. Dad stood silently nearby, his eyes filled with pride mixed with concern. Suddenly, strong hands lifted me onto Dad’s shoulders. “Look around, champ,” he said. The crowd was cheering wildly — not just for Justin, but for every runner. “Winning isn’t about medals,” Dad continued. “It’s about pushing your limits.” From that height, I saw Sarah hugging her mom and Mikey laughing with friends. Justin waved at me, his medal glinting. I took a deep breath and clapped along with the crowd. Later, as we ate ice cream, Mom said, “Next year, that hook will be ready again.” I nodded, realizing the race had taught me something brighter than a ribbon. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者参加赛跑比赛，结果朋友贾斯汀却获胜了，作者十分难过。好在朋友获奖后安慰了作者，父亲也开导了作者，让作者明白了比赛的意义在于挑战自我。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“贾斯汀被授予奖章时，我站在那里惊呆了”可知，第一段可描写作者和贾斯汀的对话以及朋友安慰作者。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然，一双有力的手把我扶到了爸爸的肩膀上”可知，第二段可描写父亲开导作者以及作者的感悟。 2续写线索：朋友获奖——感到难过——朋友安慰——父亲开导——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①靠近：approach/get close to ②放置：place/put ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①担心：concern/worry ②害羞：shy/ bashful 【点睛】[高分句型1] The coach approached, placing a hand on my shoulder.

B When I was a child, our family had one of the first telephones in the neighborhood. It was attached to the wall in the hallway and had a polished oak case. The shiny receiver hung beside the box, and I remembered our phone number — 105. I was too small to reach the phone, but I loved listening to my mother talking on it. Once, she even lifted me up to speak to my father, who was away on a business trip. It felt like magic. Soon, I discovered that there was a magical voice inside the phone — called “Information Please”. She seemed to know everything. If my mother needed a phone number or the time, she would simply ask the operator. She was always there to provide helpful answers. I was fascinated by her knowledge and kindness. One day, when my mother was visiting a neighbor, I hurt my finger while playing in the basement. I was alone and couldn’t find anyone to help. In pain and with no one to comfort me, I ran upstairs to the phone and, standing on a bench, picked up the receiver. “Information Please,” I said. The familiar voice responded kindly, asking if I was hurt badly. She advised me to put some ice on my finger to stop the pain. I felt comforted, knowing there was someone I could turn to for help. Years passed, and I moved to a different city. The magical “Information Please” disappeared with time. But when I was older, on a trip back to my hometown, I dialed the number to hear that voice again. However, it wasn’t the same. The service had been replaced by an automated (自动化的) system. I realized, as I hung up, that the voice I had once depended on was gone, but I had grown to be independent in ways I hadn’t expected. 4. What was the author’s first experience with the telephone? A. He called his father with Mum’s help. B. He used it to find information. C. He dialed his father’s number. D. He hung it in person. 5. How did “Information Please” help the author when he hurt his finger? A. She sent someone to look after him. B. She told him to seek medical help. C. She immediately contacted his mother. D. She suggested a method on pain relief. 6. Why did the author feel comforted by “Information Please”? A. Because she treated his wound at once. B. Because her voice sounded warmer than Mom’s. C. Because she made a timely response to his need. D. Because her behavior reminded him of his mother. 7. What does the author convey in the last paragraph? A. The unchanging nature of human relationships over time. B. The unavoidable change coming along with new technology. C. The loss of childhood wonder and a simple view of the world. D. The importance of having a support system during difficult times. C BEIJING—The CR450 high-speed train will be the fastest train in the world when it enters commercial service. Its two sample trains shown in Beijing on Dec 30, 2024—had a test speed of 450 kilometers per hour and an operational speed of 400 km/h. The CR400 which is in service since 2017, has an operational speed of 350 km/h. The CR450’s speed advantage comes with a number of other improved features, such as a braking (刹车) system with a shorter response time, crucial for the safety of high-speed trains. After a series of trials and calculations, engineers have improved the CR450’s braking response time from 2.3 seconds to about 1.7 seconds. The CR450 has carbon fiber composite materials, reducing its overall weight, which not only helps in enhancing speed but also significantly aids in energy consumption reduction. Thus, the CR450 balances technological empowerment for increased efficiency with a reduction in energy consumption. On the foundation of raised speed, guaranteed safety and effective energy conservation, the CR450 also focuses on enhancing the passenger experience. It features built-in four-person compartments and business seats that can rotate and adjust up to 300 degrees, creating a clean and simple environment with a high level of comfort. Li Yongheng, an official from China State Railway Group, said, “China’s high-speed rail system has evolved from being a follower to a global leader, setting new international standards.” Li added that they work together to maintain and strengthen China’s leadership in high-speed rail technology and support the country’s modernization goals. China’s railway system, particularly the high-speed railway network, has seen rapid development over the past 15 years. By the end of 2024, China’s railway network covered 160,000 km, of which 46,000 km are high-speed railways, accounting for more than two-thirds of the world’s high-speed railways. With significant progress and major breakthroughs achieved in a short time, China ranks first globally. 8. What can we learn about the CR450? A. Its braking response time is longer. B. It is more environmentally friendly. C. All the seats can rotate and adjust 300 degrees. D. Its operational speed is 100 km/h faster than CR400. 9. Why does the author mention Li Yongheng’s statement? A. To emphasize the high-speed rail’s economic costs. B. To promote the technology of high-speed train. C. To highlight China’s rise as a global rail leader. D. To explain the CR450’s braking system design. 10 What is the last paragraph talking about? A. China’s achievements in high-speed railway. B. The early development history of China’s high-speed rail. C. Measures to improve passenger comfort in high-speed trains. D. Specific methods to reduce energy consumption in CR450. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. CR450: Speed Meets Passenger Comfort B. CR450: Overcoming Technical Challenges C. CR450: Setting New Global Standards for Speed D. From CR400 to CR450: Evolution of China’s Trains D When visiting a doctor a few years from now, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual version of yourself. This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be displayed onto a physician’s computer screen. Updated with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis (诊断). It also opens the door for medicines and procedures designed specifically for you, increasing recovery rates. No matter how unreal this might seem, the researchers at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) already use computer simulations (模拟) of the hearts of patients to test different treatments for a heart disorder. It would be far too dangerous to experiment this way on someone’s real heart. Digital twins are starting to be seen everywhere, monitoring the health of jet engines on airliners and helping carmakers spend fewer years on the development of new models by simulating test drives and crashes. All this is being fueled by recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), which gives twins the ability to make predictions about their physical counterparts (对应的事物), and adjust themselves on new information. Digital twins began as basic computer models of physical objects and systems and have become more advanced with computers becoming more powerful. Complex design and modeling software make it possible for many physical objects to take shape in the virtual world. Small sensors feed twins with real-time data, ensuring that they mirror their physical counterparts. Digital twins make it easier for humans to solve challenging problems, allowing people to have a look into the future, spotting problems before they materialize and testing wild ideas without real-world result. For businesses, this should mean better designs and operations. For society, the promise is equally appealing: personalized health care, and clues as to how the planet might avoid environmental catastrophe. Could these virtual twins go out of control? They might if they are programmed badly, or hacked into. Digital twins will take in mountains of data, some of it wrong and much of it raising concerns about privacy.
