As a kid, I remember being so interested in planes. Fortunately, my parents planned a holiday and my first ever plane ride in the Airbus A320 happened at the young age of ten.
Like a shy little boy, I asked my father to request the pilot to let me see the cockpit (驾驶舱). I still remember how attracted I was to see the buttons, lights, and all the equipment and these pilots in uniform handling it all with ease and confidence. That was the moment I knew what I wanted to do.
Then began the real journey, and it all started at the age of 17. I got around to collecting all the information required to get me going towards getting my pilot’s license (许可证). My parents knew what it meant to me and how passionate I was about flying, so they arranged the funds and I was on a plane to New Zealand in May 2008.
As they say, nothing comes easy in life. Being away from home for the first time in a foreign land, many things were challenging — food, culture, and limited cash, to name a few, yet I knew nothing could stop me.
In a week, I was in the air doing my first flying lesson. The instructor gave me a briefing on how the flight would be. Then after about 10 hours of flying, I got my first individual flight. I remember the feeling of flying the aircraft alone, the feeling of fear and happiness at the same time.
I continued training for 8 months — rain or shine, and I finally took my Commercial Pilot License test. After completing my Commercial Pilot License, I got my first job as a commercial pilot. So far nine years have passed and I’m still doing what I truly enjoy doing. It’s my life and passion and it gives me great pleasure to put on my uniform, report for my flight, and make the sky my home.

The “selfie” (自拍照) has enjoyed great popularity as a way to record a moment in time, but this coming decade is bringing some big competition: 3D-printed clones. doobTM is a full-service 3D tech company that specializes in creating a photo-realistic 3D-printed figurine (小塑像) of yourself.
You step into the 3D scanner (扫描仪) with 54 digital cameras that are accurately placed from head to toe and take a 360-degree image in a flash. “Once you take a scan, we use a process, which is taking still images all of the same moment, and then transform that into a high-definition 3D file,” Anderson, the CEO of doobTM, explained. “And then we have the production abilities after that to turn it into a final physical product.”
“It’s a really cool process, a little different from what people generally think of when they see 3D printing,” said Anderson. “We print several figurines at a single time and what happens is you’re left with a white box of powder (粉末) and you essentially dig the figurines from that box of powder, unlike the material used for desktop 3D printers.”
Could the future of 3D-printed figures be the gateway to more artificial intelligence of one’s self-image? Anderson may say yes. “AI, the idea of being able to catch your awareness in this type of application, and 3D printing are all about personalization,” Anderson said. “So, of course, there’s going to be an amalgam of those two. And I can see a really important connection long term between AI and the sort of the virtual you.”
Most customers are looking to record special moments in their life. They’re making their wedding cake toppers and figures of their kids as they grow up. Gone are the days of photos on your wall, and now are the days of your 3D figure on the shelf. “The whole point behind it is to create something meaningful. We don’t want to use 3D printing and 3D scanning for the sake of the technology. It is all about using the technology to create a product that has meaning for the everyday person,” Anderson said.
8. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A. The 3D printing process of a figurine.
B. The key feature of doobTM’s new printer.
C. The operating conditions for 3D printers.
D. The new way to take a 360-degree image.
9. What’s the main difference between doobTM’s and traditional desktop 3D printers?
A. Their 3D printing accuracy. B. Their printing material.
C. Their 3D printing process. D. Their printing efficiency.
10. What does the underlined word “amalgam” in Paragraph 4 possibly mean?
A. System. B. Strategy. C. Collection. D. Combination.
11. What is doobTM’s possible intention of making 3D-printed figurines according to Anderson?
A. To meet customers’ expectations of clones.
B. To maintain its competitive advantage in the market.
C. To use technology to produce meaningful things for people.
D. To advance the artificial intelligence of people’s self-image.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了doobTM公司提供3D打印克隆技术,为人们创造有意义的产品。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“You step into the 3D scanner (扫描仪) with 54 digital cameras that are accurately placed from head to toe and take a 360-degree image in a flash. “Once you take a scan, we use a process, which is taking still images all of the same moment, and then transform that into a high-definition 3D file,” Anderson, the CEO of doobTM, explained. “And then we have the production abilities after that to turn it into a final physical product.”(你走进配备有54台数码相机的3D扫描仪中,这些相机从头部到脚部精准布置,能瞬间拍摄出360度全景图像。doob™公司的首席执行官安德森解释说:“一旦完成扫描,我们会采用一种技术,即在同一时刻捕捉静态图像,然后将其转换为高清3D文件。之后,我们便具备将其转化为最终实物产品的生产能力。”)”可知,第二段主要讲述了3D打印小塑像的过程。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“We print several figurines at a single time and what happens is you’re left with a white box of powder (粉末) and you essentially dig the figurines from that box of powder, unlike the material used for desktop 3D printers.(我们一次打印多个小塑像,结果会剩下一盒白色粉末,你基本上是从那盒粉末中挖出小塑像,这与桌面3D打印机使用的材料不同)”可知,doobTM公司的3D打印机和传统桌面3D打印机的主要区别在于打印材料。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“ And I can see a really important connection long term between AI and the sort of the virtual you.”(从长远来看,我认为人工智能与虚拟自我之间将会建立非常重要的联系。”)”可知,此处指人工智能和3D打印两者会结合,所以amalgam意为“结合体”。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中““The whole point behind it is to create something meaningful. We don’t want to use 3D printing and 3D scanning for the sake of the technology. It is all about using the technology to create a product that has meaning for the everyday person,” Anderson said.(“这背后的全部意义在于创造一些有意义的东西。我们不想为了技术而使用3D打印和3D扫描技术。这一切都是为了利用这项技术,为普通人创造有意义的产品。”安德森说道)”可知,doobTM公司制作3D打印小塑像的目的是用技术为人们生产有意义的东西。故选C。
D
For many students, staying awake all night to study is common practice. According to Medical News Today, around 20 percent of students pull all-nighters at least once a month, and about 35 percent stay up past three in the morning once or more weekly.
That being said, staying up all night to study is one of the worst things students can do for their grades. In October of 2022, two MIT professors found a relationship between sleep and test scores: The less students slept during the semester, the worse their scores.
So, why is it that sleep is so important for test scores? In the last 20 years, scientists have found that sleep impacts more than just students’ ability to perform well; it improves their ability to learn, memorize, retain (保存), recall, and use their new knowledge to solve problems creatively, which contributes to better test scores.
When learning facts and information, most of what we learn is temporarily stored in a region of the brain called the hippocampus (海马体). Some scientists believe that, like most storage centers, the hippocampus has limited storage capacity. This means, if the hippocampus is full, and we try to learn more information, we won’t be able to.
In one study, a group of 44 participants underwent two sessions of learning, once at noon and again at 6:00 PM. Half of the group was allowed to nap (小睡) between sessions, while the other half took part in standard activities. The researchers found that the group that napped between learning sessions learned just as easily at 6:00 PM as they did at noon. The group that didn’t nap, however, experienced a significant decrease in learning ability.
It’s no surprise that the MIT study previously mentioned revealed no improvement in scores for those who only guarantee good sleep the night before a big test. In fact, the MIT researchers concluded that if students want to see an improvement in their test scores, they have to guarantee good sleep during the entire learning process.
12. What did the two MIT professors find in 2022?
A Most students were lacking in sleep.
B. Students were under too much pressure.
C. Good sleep improved students’ memory.
D. Insufficient sleep worsened students’ grades.
13. According to some scientists, what will happen if our hippocampus fills up?
A. We’ll forget things easily. B. We’ll fail to learn new things.
C. We’ll get ready to think creatively. D. We’ll activate other parts of our brain.
14. What may the MIT researchers advise students to do to improve their test scores?
A. Study late before a test. B. Sleep as much as you can.
C. Balance study with sleep. D. Focus on study during the daytime.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Staying up late to study just doesn’t pay off
B. Paying too much attention to scores isn’t a way out
C. Getting a good sleep improves performance at school
D. Keeping a good living habit brings unexpected benefits
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了睡眠对学生成绩的重要性,指出熬夜对学习有害,整个学习过程都需保证良好睡眠。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In October of 2022, two MIT professors found a relationship between sleep and test scores: The less students slept during the semester, the worse their scores.(2022年10月,两位麻省理工学院的教授发现了睡眠和考试成绩之间的关系:学生在学期中睡得越少,成绩就越差)”可知,睡眠不足会使学生的成绩变差。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Some scientists believe that, like most storage centers, the hippocampus has limited storage capacity. This means, if the hippocampus is full, and we try to learn more information, we won’t be able to.(一些科学家认为,和大多数存储中心一样,海马体的存储容量是有限的。这意味着,如果海马体满了,我们再试图学习更多的信息,就无法做到了)”可知,海马体满了之后,我们将无法学习新东西。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In fact, the MIT researchers concluded that if students want to see an improvement in their test scores, they have to guarantee good sleep during the entire learning process.(事实上,麻省理工学院的研究人员得出结论,如果学生想提高考试成绩,他们必须在整个学习过程中保证良好的睡眠)”可推知,研究人员可能建议学生平衡学习和睡眠。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段中“That being said, staying up all night to study is one of the worst things students can do for their grades.(话虽如此,通宵学习是学生能为成绩做的最糟糕的事情之一)”可知,文章主要介绍了睡眠对学生成绩的重要性,指出熬夜对学习有害。选项A“Staying up late to study just doesn’t pay off(熬夜学习是没有回报的)”适合作为标题。故选A。

【36题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:4月24日,由陈冬指挥的三名宇航员发射升空,执行为期六个月的任务。根据时间状语on April 24可知,句子描述的是过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,主语The three astronauts和谓语动词launch之间是被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是复数,be动词用were。故填were launched。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:陈冬回忆起他儿时的梦想,那是受到佩戴中国少先队员红领巾的启发。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词dreams,先行词指物,关系词在定语从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。
【38题详解】

考查非谓语动词。句意:他指出,它引导着一代又一代的中国少先队员传承先辈的光荣传统,希望孩子们能够继续完成探索太空的使命。本句已有谓语动词guides,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词,此处表示伴随状语,且和逻辑主语之间为主动关系,所以空处需用现在分词作状语。故填hoping。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:自进入轨道以来,神舟二十号乘组已成功完成与神舟十九号乘组的在轨交接,并按计划开展了空间科学实验。空处需用副词作状语修饰动词completed,success的副词为successfully“成功地”。故填successfully。
【44题详解】

【45题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:5月22日,他们完成了首次舱外活动,创下了空间站建成后航天员乘组进入轨道与首次太空行走间隔最短的纪录。根据空前定冠词the和空后名词interval可知,空处需用形容词最高级,表示“最短的间隔”,应用shortest。故填shortest。

Should High School Students Use AI as a Learning Aid?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Should High School Students Use AI as a Learning Aid?
As AI tools like homework helpers and smart translators become more popular in schools, students and teachers are divided on their use. Some believe AI can greatly improve learning efficiency, while others worry it might make students rely too much on technology and weaken their ability to think independently. I firmly believe A can be a valuable learning assistant when used properly.
First, AI provides personalized learning support that complements classroom teaching. While teachers have to divide attention among dozens of students, AI tools like math problem solvers or language apps can offer instant, one-on-one assistance. Second, AI makes learning more interactive and engaging. Many AI platforms transform traditional study materials into dynamic learning experiences. For example, physics class uses AI to summarize rules, making abstract concepts clearer than textbook diagrams.
In closing, AI serves best when we use it as a smart tool. With proper guidance and self-discipline, AI can indeed become every student’s powerful learning partner.

47. 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。
When I was a little girl, I didn’t seem to be clever. I was often laughed at by other kids. So I strongly hoped I could win something to show that I was not a fool to myself.
Then I took part in some competitions. I didn’t care what I would win. I just wanted to feel like a winner and be more confident. Unluckily, I never won anything, so I started to think success wasn’t possible for me and that I would be a loser forever. I felt disappointed. And I stopped trying. When knowing what was troubling me, my mother decided to help me.
On a warm Sunday morning, she took me to take part in a festival held by our local hospital. Every year in our town, the hospital held a festival to raise money for new equipment. Everyone in our town looked forward to it. There were delicious foods, toys, games, dances, and so on.
That Sunday morning, my mom took me to a room in the hospital. There was a game designed for kids. Dozens of toys, small balls and a box were placed in the room. An old lady sitting there was in charge of the game. It was still early in the morning and no other kids had arrived yet to play the game. My mom encouraged me to have a try. I nervously walked up to the old lady and whispered, “How can I play this game?” She smiled and answered, “Oh. It’s quite easy and fun. All you have to do is pick up a ball and throw it into the box in the distance. If you manage to throw a ball into the box, you’ll win a toy that you like.” Then I asked how much it would cost to play the game. The lady responded, “You can try twelve times for ten dollars.” Then my mom gave me the money. I handed it to the lady and she gave me a basket of twelve balls.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: I took a ball and threw it directly into the box in the distance.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Just then, the old lady said, “Oh, sweetie, I’ll give you an extra try. Just don’t be nervous.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Paragraph 1: I took a ball and threw it directly into the box in the distance. It hit the edge of the box and jumped off onto the floor. I was disappointed, but I had eleven more tries. Again and again I aimed but without success. I was down to my last ball. My mom encouraged me to stay calm. I held the ball for nearly a full minute before I threw it. I stopped breathing and opened my eyes. The ball fell on the floor instead of falling into the box. It was bad luck again and I couldn’t help crying.
Paragraph 2: Just then, the old lady said, “Oh, sweetie, I’ll give you an extra try. Just don’t be nervous.” She handed me one more ball. I aimed at the box again. Time seemed to slow down as the ball flew. Then I heard a voice, “Congratulations!” I was excited to find that the ball had got into the box. From then on, whenever I got discouraged, I would think of that ball-throwing experience. It has made me more confident and I realize with determination and a little bit of luck, success is possible for anyone.

As a kid, I remember being so interested in planes. Fortunately, my parents planned a holiday and my first ever plane ride in the Airbus A320 happened at the young age of ten.
Like a shy little boy, I asked my father to request the pilot to let me see the cockpit (驾驶舱). I still remember how attracted I was to see the buttons, lights, and all the equipment and these pilots in uniform handling it all with ease and confidence. That was the moment I knew what I wanted to do.
Then began the real journey, and it all started at the age of 17. I got around to collecting all the information required to get me going towards getting my pilot’s license (许可证). My parents knew what it meant to me and how passionate I was about flying, so they arranged the funds and I was on a plane to New Zealand in May 2008.
As they say, nothing comes easy in life. Being away from home for the first time in a foreign land, many things were challenging — food, culture, and limited cash, to name a few, yet I knew nothing could stop me.
In a week, I was in the air doing my first flying lesson. The instructor gave me a briefing on how the flight would be. Then after about 10 hours of flying, I got my first individual flight. I remember the feeling of flying the aircraft alone, the feeling of fear and happiness at the same time.
I continued training for 8 months — rain or shine, and I finally took my Commercial Pilot License test. After completing my Commercial Pilot License, I got my first job as a commercial pilot. So far nine years have passed and I’m still doing what I truly enjoy doing. It’s my life and passion and it gives me great pleasure to put on my uniform, report for my flight, and make the sky my home.

The “selfie” (自拍照) has enjoyed great popularity as a way to record a moment in time, but this coming decade is bringing some big competition: 3D-printed clones. doobTM is a full-service 3D tech company that specializes in creating a photo-realistic 3D-printed figurine (小塑像) of yourself.
You step into the 3D scanner (扫描仪) with 54 digital cameras that are accurately placed from head to toe and take a 360-degree image in a flash. “Once you take a scan, we use a process, which is taking still images all of the same moment, and then transform that into a high-definition 3D file,” Anderson, the CEO of doobTM, explained. “And then we have the production abilities after that to turn it into a final physical product.”
“It’s a really cool process, a little different from what people generally think of when they see 3D printing,” said Anderson. “We print several figurines at a single time and what happens is you’re left with a white box of powder (粉末) and you essentially dig the figurines from that box of powder, unlike the material used for desktop 3D printers.”
Could the future of 3D-printed figures be the gateway to more artificial intelligence of one’s self-image? Anderson may say yes. “AI, the idea of being able to catch your awareness in this type of application, and 3D printing are all about personalization,” Anderson said. “So, of course, there’s going to be an amalgam of those two. And I can see a really important connection long term between AI and the sort of the virtual you.”
Most customers are looking to record special moments in their life. They’re making their wedding cake toppers and figures of their kids as they grow up. Gone are the days of photos on your wall, and now are the days of your 3D figure on the shelf. “The whole point behind it is to create something meaningful. We don’t want to use 3D printing and 3D scanning for the sake of the technology. It is all about using the technology to create a product that has meaning for the everyday person,” Anderson said.
8. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A. The 3D printing process of a figurine.
B. The key feature of doobTM’s new printer.
C. The operating conditions for 3D printers.
D. The new way to take a 360-degree image.
9. What’s the main difference between doobTM’s and traditional desktop 3D printers?
A. Their 3D printing accuracy. B. Their printing material.
C. Their 3D printing process. D. Their printing efficiency.
10. What does the underlined word “amalgam” in Paragraph 4 possibly mean?
A. System. B. Strategy. C. Collection. D. Combination.
11. What is doobTM’s possible intention of making 3D-printed figurines according to Anderson?
A. To meet customers’ expectations of clones.
B To maintain its competitive advantage in the market.
C. To use technology to produce meaningful things for people.
D. To advance the artificial intelligence of people’s self-image.

For many students, staying awake all night to study is common practice. According to Medical News Today, around 20 percent of students pull all-nighters at least once a month, and about 35 percent stay up past three in the morning once or more weekly.
That being said, staying up all night to study is one of the worst things students can do for their grades. In October of 2022, two MIT professors found a relationship between sleep and test scores: The less students slept during the semester, the worse their scores.
So, why is it that sleep is so important for test scores? In the last 20 years, scientists have found that sleep impacts more than just students’ ability to perform well; it improves their ability to learn, memorize, retain (保存), recall, and use their new knowledge to solve problems creatively, which contributes to better test scores.
When learning facts and information, most of what we learn is temporarily stored in a region of the brain called the hippocampus (海马体). Some scientists believe that, like most storage centers, the hippocampus has limited storage capacity. This means, if the hippocampus is full, and we try to learn more information, we won’t be able to.
In one study, a group of 44 participants underwent two sessions of learning, once at noon and again at 6:00 PM. Half of the group was allowed to nap (小睡) between sessions, while the other half took part in standard activities. The researchers found that the group that napped between learning sessions learned just as easily at 6:00 PM as they did at noon. The group that didn’t nap, however, experienced a significant decrease in learning ability.
It’s no surprise that the MIT study previously mentioned revealed no improvement in scores for those who only guarantee good sleep the night before a big test. In fact, the MIT researchers concluded that if students want to see an improvement in their test scores, they have to guarantee good sleep during the entire learning process.
12. What did the two MIT professors find in 2022?
A. Most students were lacking in sleep.
B. Students were under too much pressure.
C. Good sleep improved students’ memory.
D. Insufficient sleep worsened students’ grades.
13. According to some scientists, what will happen if our hippocampus fills up?
A. We’ll forget things easily. B. We’ll fail to learn new things.
C. We’ll get ready to think creatively. D. We’ll activate other parts of our brain.
14. What may the MIT researchers advise students to do to improve their test scores?
A. Study late before a test. B. Sleep as much as you can.
C. Balance study with sleep. D. Focus on study during the daytime.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Staying up late to study just doesn’t pay off
B. Paying too much attention to scores isn’t a way out
C. Getting a good sleep improves performance at school
D. Keeping a good living habit brings unexpected benefits

When I was a little girl, I didn’t seem to be clever. I was often laughed at by other kids. So I strongly hoped I could win something to show that I was not a fool to myself.
Then I took part in some competitions. I didn’t care what I would win. I just wanted to feel like a winner and be more confident. Unluckily, I never won anything, so I started to think success wasn’t possible for me and that I would be a loser forever. I felt disappointed. And I stopped trying. When knowing what was troubling me, my mother decided to help me.
On a warm Sunday morning, she took me to take part in a festival held by our local hospital. Every year in our town, the hospital held a festival to raise money for new equipment. Everyone in our town looked forward to it. There were delicious foods, toys, games, dances, and so on.
That Sunday morning, my mom took me to a room in the hospital. There was a game designed for kids. Dozens of toys, small balls and a box were placed in the room. An old lady sitting there was in charge of the game. It was still early in the morning and no other kids had arrived yet to play the game. My mom encouraged me to have a try. I nervously walked up to the old lady and whispered, “How can I play this game?” She smiled and answered, “Oh. It’s quite easy and fun. All you have to do is pick up a ball and throw it into the box in the distance. If you manage to throw a ball into the box, you’ll win a toy that you like.” Then I asked how much it would cost to play the game. The lady responded, “You can try twelve times for ten dollars.” Then my mom gave me the money. I handed it to the lady and she gave me a basket of twelve balls.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: I took a ball and threw it directly into the box in the distance.

Paragraph 2: Just then, the old lady said, “Oh, sweetie, I’ll give you an extra try. Just don’t be nervous.”
