(2025·湖北联考)Many robots track objects by “sight” as they work with them, but optical (光学的) sensors can't take in an item's entire shape when it's in the dark or partially blocked from view.Now a new low-cost technique lets a robotic hand “feel” an unfamiliar object's form — and skillfully handle it based on this information alone.
University of California, San Diego, roboticist Wang Xiaolong and his team wanted to find out whether complex actions could be achieved in robotics using only simple touch data.
The researchers attached 16 contact sensors, each costing about D|S12, to the palm and fingers of a four-fingered robot hand.These sensors simply indicate whether an object is touching the hand or not.“While one sensor doesn't catch much, a lot of them can help you capture different aspects of the object,” Wang says.In this case, the robot's task was to rotate (旋转) items placed in its palm.
They first ran simulations (模拟) to collect enough touch data as a virtual robot hand practiced rotating objects, including balls and other irregular objects.Using information from each sensor, the team built a computer model that determines an object's position at every step of the handling process and moves the fingers to rotate it smoothly and stably.
Next they transferred this capability to operate a real robot hand, which successfully controlled previously unfamiliar objects such as apples, tomatoes, soup cans and rubber ducks.Transferring the computer model to the real world was relatively easy because the sensor data were so simple.However, New York University's Lerrel Pinto, who studies robots' interactions, wonders whether the system would fail at more complicated tasks.
So in the future work, Wang's group aims to tackle more complex movements as well as to add sensors in places such as the sides of the fingers.“This means that there will be more accurate information from touching that allows reconstructing the object's shape,” Wang says.The researchers will also try adding vision to complement touch data for handling complicated shape.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。加利福尼亚大学圣迭戈分校的机器人专家王小龙和他的团队通过模拟实验,探索仅用简单的触摸数据,机器人是否可以实现复杂的动作。这项新的低成本技术可以让机械手“感觉”不熟悉物体的形状,并仅根据这些信息就能熟练地处理它。
4.What was the intention of the research conducted by Wang Xiaolong's group?
A.To develop a robot with advanced optical sensors.
B.To create a robotic hand to grasp familiar objects.
C.To explore the use of touch data in complex robotic actions.
D.To investigate the impact of lighting on robotic recognition.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段的内容可知,王小龙和他的团队想弄清仅用简单的触摸数据,机器人是否可以实现复杂的动作。故选C。
5.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The working principle of the robot hand in Wang's research.
B.The type of contact sensors attached to the robot hand.
C.The way that the robot hand captured different objects.
D.The function of the robot hand in Wang's research.
解析:选A 段落大意题。第三段主要讲研究人员将16个接触式传感器安装在四指机械手的手掌和手指上。这些传感器只显示一个物体是否接触到手。在这种情况下,机器人的任务是旋转放在它手掌中的物品。由此可知,第三段主要介绍了王小龙研究中机械手的工作原理。故选A。
6.How did the researchers gather touch data for the robotic hand's training?
A.They used real-world objects.
B.They used complex optical sensors.
C.They relied on vision-based technology.
D.They conducted simulations with the robot hand.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知,研究人员首先进行模拟,在虚拟机械手练习旋转包括球和其他不规则物体的物体时,收集足够的触摸数据。利用来自每个传感器的信息,该团队建立了一个计算机模型,该模型可以在处理过程中确定物体的位置,并移动手指以平稳地旋转物体。故选D。
7.What is Wang Xiaolong's attitude towards Pinto's concern over the system?
A.Doubtful. B.Positive.
C.Unclear. D.Dismissive.
解析:选B 观点态度题。倒数第二段最后一句讲Pinto怀疑该系统是否会在更复杂的任务中失败;最后一段的“Wang's group aims to tackle more complex movements ... the object's shape,’ Wang says.”讲王小龙团队的目标是解决更复杂的运动,并在手指侧面等地方添加传感器,他认为这意味着通过触摸会获得更准确的信息,从而可以重建物体的形状。由此可知,王小龙对这个系统的态度是积极的,故选B。

语篇解读:本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了患有脊髓性肌萎缩的计算机科学家楼印根的病情、学术之路,以及他在为残疾人发声方面所作出的努力。
1.called 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处为非谓语动词作genetic disorder的后置定语。call与其逻辑主语genetic disorder之间是动宾关系,故填 called。
2.completely 考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰空后的形容词paralyzed,应用副词,故填completely。
3.challenges 考查名词复数。根据空前的these可知,challenge在此作名词,且应用复数形式,故填challenges。
4.where 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词Massachusetts Institute of Technology是表示地点的名词,从句中缺少地点状语,所以空处填关系副词where。
5.has become 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中作谓语。根据时间状语By now可知,时态用现在完成时;主语Benjamin和become之间是主动关系;主语Benjamin是第三人称单数,故填has become。
6.awareness 考查名词。固定表达raise awareness about意为“提高对……的意识”,故填 awareness。
7.developing 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处作介词on的宾语,故填developing。
8.to 考查介词。固定表达 in addition to意为“除……之外”,故填to。
9.to accept 考查非谓语动词。固定表达encourage sb.to do sth.意为“鼓励某人做某事”,故填to accept。
10.a 考查冠词。空处修饰名词society,且名词前有形容词修饰。根据句意可知,此处表泛指,more的发音以辅音音素开头,所以空处填不定冠词a。

I admire Confucius for the following reasons.First, his dedication to education and the belief that it should be accessible to all touch me deeply.Second, he emphasized the importance of personal and governmental morality, correct social relationships, justice, and sincerity.These values not only shaped Chinese culture but also offered timeless wisdom that remains relevant today.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(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.

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.

主题表达的积淀与提高
一、学教材典句——写“亮”句子
句式1 现在分词短语作结果状语
(1)现在分词(短语)作结果状语常表示意料、情理之中的结果,而不定式(短语)作结果状语常表示出乎意料的结果。
(2)结果状语表示的动作发生在谓语动词之后,所以不能使用having done,因为having done所表示的动作发生在谓语动词之前。
|练|明|句|法| (变换句式)
①You'd better master some basic Chinese in advance, and it will make it easy for you to adapt to the new life in Beijing.
→You'd better master some basic Chinese in advance, making_it_easy_for_you_to_adapt_to the new life in Beijing.
②What's worse, it was getting dark, which made it impossible for her to find the way back.
→What's worse, it was getting dark, making_it_impossible_for_her_to_find the way back.

③(申请信)我有一定的交流技能和责任感,这让我处理一些事情会更容易些。
I have certain communication skills and a sense of responsibility, making_it_easier_for_me_to_deal_with some affairs.
④(2024·新高考Ⅰ卷写作)我跳下车,疯狂地跑向那台机器,把我的卡插了进去,却看到信息:“出了问题。对不起。”I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only_to_read_the_message:_“Out of order.Sorry.”
句式2 “疑问词+-ever”引导的从句
(1)whatever, whoever, whichever, whomever既可引导名词性从句,也可引导让步状语从句。在引导让步状语从句时,相当于no matter what/who/which/whom;在引导名词性从句时,whatever=anything that, whoever=anyone who, whomever=anyone whom。
(2)whenever, wherever, however引导让步状语从句时,相当于no matter when/where/how,意为“无论何时/何地/如何”。
(3)“no matter+疑问词”结构只能引导让步状语从句,不能引导名词性从句。
|练|明|句|法| (同义句转换)
①Anything that is worth doing is worth doing well.
→Whatever_is_worth_doing_is_worth_doing_well.
②Whenever I'm in trouble, my friend will come to help me.
→_No_matter_when_I'm_in_trouble,_my friend will come to help me.

参考范文:
Time flew and before I knew it, I was deep in the woods, unable to find the way out.With a feeling of horror totally holding me in its power, I squatted down under a tree, tears rolling down my cheeks.“Kate?” Behind the trees came my mother's voice.Hearing my mom's voice, I rushed towards her direction and threw my arms around her.Noticing my misty eyes, she patted me on the shoulder and checked whether I got hurt.I whispered sadly, “I am OK, Mom.In the future, I will never go into the woods without your company and permission.” Shooting me an approving look, she added, “Next time you want to come, keep me informed!” Wiping tears from my muddy face, she led me to walk out of the forest without hesitation.
What an unforgettable experience it was!

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2025·安徽江淮十校高三模拟)In the heart of the Cyclades, Mykonos has long been an attraction for visitors.The beaches on the island's southwest coast are among the Mediterranean's best wild-party scenes, but head east and travelers will find something quite different.Here, the crowds slowly fade away, revealing what originally made the island famous: its beauty with rocky coastline and sandy bays.
Fokos Bay
Park your vehicle in the dirt lot and climb over the low dunes (沙丘) to find perfect little Fokos Bay, where deep, sheltered waters offer delightful swimming for all ages.Once you've worked up a bit of an appetite, head on over to the famous Greek cafe overlooking the sand for a lazy seafood lunch.
Mersini Beach
Head west around the headland to the next beach along — the Mersini Beach, which is usually the least-crowded on Mykonos.Bring your own sun mat and even an umbrella as this beach is completely wild and raw.
Agrari Beach
If getting your own wheels isn't an option, Agrari is only a 15-minute walk east of the more famous Elia Beach and on the south coast beach ferry (渡轮) route.It's one of the closest uncrowded beaches to Hora, Mykonos' main town, and home to a restaurant that provides sunbeds and drinks and snacks.
Kalafati Beach
In the far southeast, about seven miles from Mykonos town, the Kalafati Beach is beloved for its steady winds that blow the sails of windsurfers and kite surfers.Rent boards and get lessons right at the beach at Windsurfing Mykonos.

A.It's service-free.
B.It's heavily populated.
C.It's on a coast beach ferry route.
D.It's within easy reach of Hora.

(2025·石家庄模拟)The young attendant probably said something like, Excusez-moi?Or Pardon? But I could not even register that he was speaking to me.I, in Paris for the very first time, was apparently deaf to even the cues (提示) of vocal tone and facial expression.Though I knew that my French was not good, it was then that I realized just being able to count to 15 and say “Je m'appelle Kyla” was not going to work.
I had tried very hard to learn some French before I went on my long weekend.Despite all the available resources, I'd really had no intention of studying French in a meaningful way until I was in Paris.But as soon as I'd made up my mind, I ran into a roadblock.As a teenager, I'd learned Spanish almost passively, never receiving less than an A.Meanwhile, I'd taken Russian for a year, and learning a new alphabet and its grammar had given me an almost unshakable sense of confidence.So why, when trying to take up French, a language closest to English, could I not even remember how to use the most ordinary verb, être?
When, months after my trip, I still hadn't gotten much further, I started to wonder ...am I bad at this? And though I was only in my 30s, was my lack of facility a result of aging?
Yet alongside my frustration (沮丧), a surprising feeling emerged.Not discouragement — but delight in my failure.At 32, having lived in the same city for over ten years, having finished school and started a career, having achieved many of the milestones of young adulthood, it had been so long since I'd been an absolute beginner that being bad at something actually felt refreshing.
What so many people experience when they travel is the realization of how big the world is and how much more of it there is than they could have imagined.That's what I gained — an expanded sense of belief, not limited by what I had already seen; a humble belief in the power of what I didn't yet know.
语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要分享了作者在巴黎旅行期间的感悟:在法语上进展缓慢意味着还有未知的领域,因此,我们应该突破自己的局限,勇于探索未知。
4.What prevented the author understanding the attendant?
A.The author's disability.
B.The author's poor French.
C.The attendant's accent.
D.The attendant's low tone.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Though I knew that my French was not good ...say ‘Je m'appelle Kyla’ was not going to work.”可知,作者糟糕的法语让她甚至没有意识到服务员在和自己说话。故选B。
5.How did the author feel about the lack of progress in learning French?
A.Disappointed and embarrassed.
B.Delighted and refreshed.
C.Indifferent and unconcerned.
D.Confident and motivated.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“a surprising feeling emerged.Not discouragement — but delight in my failure”和“being bad at something actually felt refreshing”可知,作者发现自己在学习法语上进展缓慢时,居然感到开心,精神还为之一振,故选B。
6.What did the author gain from the travel experience in Paris?
A.An increased ability to speak French.
B.A desire to go abroad for further study.
C.A feeling of accomplishment in the career.
D.A sense of openness to the unknown world.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“That's what I gained — an expanded sense of belief, not limited by what I had already seen; a humble belief in the power of what I didn't yet know.”可知,作者这次巴黎之行的收获是:不要受限于自己看到的世界,要谦卑地相信未知事物的力量,故选D。
7.What's the author's purpose of writing this text?
A.To share an unexpected blessing.
B.To tell about an unpleasant trip in Paris.
C.To offer advice on traveling abroad.
D.To recommend ways to learn a language.
解析:选A 写作意图题。本文讲述了作者在巴黎旅游期间,听不懂服务员讲法语,以及自己在学习法语上进展缓慢的经历和作者从这样的经历中得到的感悟:对于未知的世界,我们要保持开放的心态,勇敢地去探索未知。作者从学不好法语这件貌似是打击的事情中得到了意想不到的收获,故选A。

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在中国作为素食者旅行的相关情况,包括素食者人数的增加、中国丰富的素食选择、为素食者安排的有导游的美食之旅,以及素食旅行中能体验到的文化探索和生活冒险等。
1.as 考查介词。分析句子结构可知,as在此处用作介词,表示“作为”,as a vegetarian表示“作为一个素食者”,故填as。
2.their 考查代词。分析句子结构可知,空白处在句子中作定语,需要填入形容词性物主代词修饰后面的名词health,故填their。
3.and 考查连词。根据上文“there had been more than 50 million veggies in China”以及下文“the number is still increasing”可知,前后句之间为并列关系,故填and。
4.offers 考查时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,此处为主谓结构,因句子表示的是一个客观情况,谓语动词使用一般现在时;主语The vast land of China为第三人称单数,谓语动词使用单数,故填offers。
5.that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处应填入关系代词,引导定语从句并作主语,先行词为dishes,指物,使用关系代词that或which引导定语从句,故填that/which。
6.guided 考查形容词。此处需要填入一个形容词修饰名词短语vegetarian food tours,表示“有导游的”,使用v.-ed形式的形容词,故填guided。
7.highly 考查副词。分析句子结构可知,此处应填入副词修饰后面的动词rated,故填highly。
8.a 考查冠词。分析句子结构可知,a wide range of为固定短语,含义为“一系列的”,故填a。
9.making 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处构成现在分词短语作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果,故填making。
10.exploration 考查名词。分析句子结构可知,这是一个包含表语从句的复合句,空白处在表语从句中与adventure并列作主语,应填入名词exploration,表示抽象概念,其为不可数名词,故填exploration。
Ⅲ.读后续写
(2025·山东模拟卷)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A curious thing began to happen in my hometown of Austin, Texas.I was at work, listening to the stories of my psychotherapy (心理治疗) clients, but the louder voices would be those of the songbirds outside the office window.How had I never noticed this before? It was distracting as well as pleasing.My attention would be pulled to some place outside the familiar walls of my life.The birds were a nice break and I had the idea to step away.
My husband, Philip, and I are both psychotherapists who spent the past decade building a successful private practice.It's challenging to bring personal and professional lives to a stop.We have responsibilities to Jimmy and Marcie, our eight-year-old twins.Despite our desire to live a simple family life, we were driven by “more, better, faster” in the past decade.Yet, I didn't want this anymore.
We decided to take a family gap year abroad for a year, to experience cultures, languages, and foods out of the comfort zone.In a small, quiet and warm wooden house in the Texas country, we began writing out our vision and values for the year.The mission was fairly simple.We wanted more slow time in nature.
We committed to opening up to what was unknown and unexplored in the life of our family and ourselves.Me? What did I, a middle-aged woman, want out of this? I wanted to gain some insights into some unsettled feelings growing stronger inside of me over the past year that I struggled to understand.
The planning took a weekend away.We wanted to rest and play in Thailand and China.We wanted to practice our Spanish.We wanted to engage in what was different and foreign in Costa Rica and Mexico with open and curious minds.We wanted to get together more and relearn from each other how to face the world with fresh eyes, creativity and wonder.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Getting ourselves ready, we set out on our family gap year journey.
__________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________
At the end of the journey, I knew myself better.
__________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________
参考范文:
Getting ourselves ready, we set out on our family gap year journey.We moved slow and explored different kinds of life.We had a home base in every destination so that we got the chance to mix with the locals and get to know their culture better.It was true that we had recreated another family dance in a different place, but the rhythm suited us well and our daily life was aligned with the values that we reclaimed.We traveled through Thailand and China, lived in Mexico for one month, and enjoyed exploratory trips all over Costa Rica, where we were able to get in touch with nature.
At the end of the journey, I knew myself better.This slow-paced life helped me relax.I realized what the unsettled feeling inside of me was and what those songbirds outside my office offered.Though I've been a therapist for almost twenty years, sometime I feel I'm still like a beginner.This feeling stressed me out on occasion.What this travel experience taught me was that I should shift my focus once in a while, slowing down and staying closer to nature.And now I transformed myself from one with walls into one with wings.
