(2025·河北模拟)There're plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables available in local markets.But while those red juicy strawberries look fresh, consumers have no way of knowing how long the fruit can be stored at home.The same goes for distribution centers and supermarkets.
Now, the food technology startup OneThird, located in the Netherlands, is looking to change that with an infrared (红外线) scanner that can accurately predict how long fresh fruits and vegetables will last.The startup is named OneThird because one-third of food is wasted due to spoilage (变质) every year.
The startup's founders were inspired by a UK company that uses this type of technology in the medical field and decided to see if it was applicable for food.“I looked at the challenges in the food-supply chain and found out that 40 percent of food waste is fresh produce.One of the biggest causes of waste is that nobody knows shelf life.” founder and CEO of OneThird, Marco Snikkers said.
Quality inspections at farms and distribution centers are done manually(手动地).An inspector checks the fruits and vegetables and makes notes about the size and quality.Then the food is sent to consumers without considering travel time or how long the produce will remain usable.
Using the infrared scanner at the distribution center means that inspectors can use the information to approve shipments that will ensure the produce can be distributed on a timely basis.This means that a shipment of ripe tomatoes will not be sent long distances away.
OneThird's scanner combines the technology of optical scanners, image modeling, and Artificial Intelligence to provide accurate shelf-life predictions.
The startup found that the technology can reduce up to 25 percent produce waste that was caused by spoilage.“Global food waste has an enormous environmental impact; reducing global food waste cuts global greenhouse gas emissions and promotes global food security,” said Jacob Smith, a climate expert from the University of Maine.

(2025·枣庄模拟)Even if you haven't held a conversation with Siri or Alexa, you've likely encountered a chatbot online.They often appear in a chat window that pops up with a friendly greeting: Thank you for visiting our site.How can I help you today? Depending on the site, the chatbot is programmed to respond accordingly and even ask follow-up questions.
Chatbots are a form of conversational AI designed to simplify human interaction with computers.They are programmed to simulate human conversation and exhibit intelligent behavior that is equivalent to that of a human.
Chatbots communicate through speech or text.Both rely on artificial intelligence technologies like machine learning and natural language processing (NLP), which is a branch of artificial intelligence that teaches machines to read, analyze and interpret human language.This technology gives chatbots a baseline for understanding language structure and meaning.NLP, in essence, allows the computer to understand what you are asking and how to appropriately respond.
With developments in deep learning and reinforcement learning, chatbots can interpret more complexities in language and improve the dynamic nature of conversation between human and machine.Essentially, a chatbot tries to match what you've asked to an intent that it understands.The more a chatbot communicates with you, the more it understands and the more it learns to communicate like you and others with similar questions.Your positive responses reinforce its answers, and then it uses those answers again.
From customer service chatbots online to personal assistants in our homes, chatbots have started to enter our lives.In almost every industry, companies are using chatbots to help customers easily navigate their websites, answer simple questions and direct people to the relevant points of contact.Personal assistants like Siri and Alexa are designed to respond to a wide range of scenarios and queries, from current weather and news updates to personal calendars, music selections and random questions.

(2025·南京模拟预测)China plans to start building a lunar base in about four years, __1__ (kick) off with bricks made of moon soil, according to scientists related to the project, the local news agency reported.Ding Lieyun, __2__ leading scientist at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, told local media that the first brick __3__(make) from moon soil during the Chang'e 8 mission around 2028.
China has previously said its lunar base will likely be powered by nuclear energy, and will include a lander, hopper, orbiter and rover, all of __4__ would be constructed by the Chang'e 6, 7 and 8 missions.It wasn't immediately clear in the interview __5__ the entire base will be built with lunar soil.
“Eventually, building habitation __6__ the Earth is essential not only for all humanity's quest for space exploration, but also for China's __7__ (strategy) needs as a space power,” Ding said in a separate interview.
The moon is believed __8__ (contain) a source of waste -free nuclear energy that could meet global energy demands for 250 years, meaning potentially hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of resources.
Yu Dengyun, from the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, provided an __9__ (update) timeline for the next three Chang'e missions.Chang'e 6 will launch in 2025 to collect samples from the far side of the moon, Chang'e 7 will blastoff the following year to search for water-ice, __10__ Chang'e 8 should land some two years after that.
语篇解读:本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了中国计划在大约四年的时间内开始在月球上建造一个月球基地,该计划将以月球上的土壤制成的砖块作为开端。
1.kicking 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,kick off在句子中为非谓语动词,它和“China”之间为主动关系,因此使用现在分词作状语,故填kicking。
2.a 考查冠词。 scientist 为可数名词且leading是以辅音音素开头的单词,因此使用不定冠词a。
3.would be made 考查时态和语态。make是谓语动词,它和“the first brick”之间为被动关系,并且make的动作发生在told 之后,则用其过去将来时的被动语态“would be done”,故填would be made。
4.which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导非限制性定语从句,“a lander, hopper, orbiter and rover”是先行词,在从句中作宾语,指物,因此使用which引导定语从句。
5.if/whether 考查从属连词。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导主语从句,表示“是否”,故使用连词if或whether。
6.beyond/outside 考查介词。根据句意可知,此处应该填入介词,表示“在……之外”,应使用beyond或outside。
7.strategic 考查形容词。此处需填入形容词作定语,修饰名词needs,表示“战略的”,故填strategic。
8.to contain 考查非谓语动词。be believed to do sth.表示“被认为做某事”,故填to contain。
9.updated 考查非谓语动词。update和timeline之间为被动关系,因此使用过去分词作定语,表示“最新的”,故填updated。
10.and 考查并列连词。根据上文“provided an ________ (update) timeline for the next three Chang'e missions”可知,“Chang'e 6”和“Chang'e 7”以及“Chang'e 8”是并列关系,故使用并列连词and来连接。

Ⅰ.阅读七选五
(2025·大连双基测试)Back in January, I was determined to get fit seriously. __1__ But then just as I was close to giving up again, I discovered a brilliant new way to make exercise better: by turning it into a video game.
Zwift is essentially a cycling game that you control by riding your real bike, which is equipped with a device called a turbo trainer.This makes it like an exercise bike.As you ride, the trainer sends signals to your computer or tablet to control the character on the screen. __2__ For example, as you're cycling up a hill in the game, you can actually feel the different levels of resistance on the bike.
After signing up for a £12/month subscription, you can participate in virtual cycle rides in 3D recreations of real places, like London or fantastical fictional locations invented by the game designers. __3__ As you cycle along The Mall towards Buckingham Palace, other real human cyclists appear alongside you, sharing the journey.Though it is obviously only a game, just seeing the character move is surprisingly motivating.
__4__ Go a little faster and you'll be rewarded with a little achievement marker.If you ride harder, you might win a race against another real player and unlock a new item in a regular video game, which can never be matched by a traditional exercise bike.
I'm not the only person who has noticed this.__5__Today there are many other companies chasing the same audience, and they all offer their own unique twists on the formula.
A.Zwift makes it easy to work out.
B.And importantly, you're not alone.
C.The rest of the tech industry has, too.
D.I played Zwift, a cycling game for training.
E.And then the game sends instructions back to the trainer.
F.Smartly, the tricks of video games will keep pushing you.
G.This would mean hours' stretching and sweating each week.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款电子游戏,结合安装在自行车上的设备,该游戏可以模拟真实的骑行进行锻炼。
1.选G 根据空前句可知,作者决定变得健康;再结合下文可知,作者几乎要放弃了,说明运动应该很辛苦,因此空处应承上启下,G项“这意味着每周数小时的伸展和流汗”符合语境。
2.选E 空前句讲到,在你骑行时,这个设备会向你的电脑或平板发送信号来控制屏幕上的角色;空后句讲到,例如,当你在该游戏中骑车上山时,你在自行车上实际可以感受到不同程度的阻力。E项“然后游戏将操作说明发送回这个设备”符合语境。
3.选B 根据空后句可知,当你沿着林荫路向白金汉宫骑行时,其他骑自行车的真人出现在你身边,与你共享这段旅程。由此可知,你并不孤单,有其他骑自行车的人与你同行。故B项符合语境。
4.选F 空处位于句首,为该段主题句。通读该段内容可知,该段主要陈述这种电子游戏的小把戏会推动你锻炼。故F项符合语境。
5.选C 根据空前句可知,作者不是唯一注意到这一点的人,再根据空后句可知,今天,还有许多其他公司在追逐同样的受众,他们都在这个方法上取得了自己独特的新进展。由此可知,空处说明其他的科技公司也注意到了这点。故C项符合语境。
