Last summer, when I was 16, I went there every weekend just to watch the pandas. One day, as I was drawing them in my notebook, an elderly man in a zoo uniform stopped beside me. “Those are quite good,” he said, pointing to my drawings. “Do you know each panda has unique black areas around their eyes? Like human fingerprints.” I didn’t, but from that moment. Dr. Wilson — the head vet — became my teacher. For the next six weeks, I assisted him every morning. My main task was recording the animals’ behavior: when they ate, how they interacted, even their moods. It wasn’t glamorous work. I cleaned cages, prepared food, and once got sprayed by a very unhappy lemur (狐猴). But I also got to witness a baby giraffe take its first steps and help hand-feed a sick koala. The most valuable lesson came unexpectedly. One afternoon, Dr. Wilson let me observe a routine checkup on the oldest tiger. When the tiger suddenly growled (低吼), I jumped back in fear. “Animals sense your energy,” Dr. Wilson said calmly. “Respect them, but don’t show fear. They’ll mirror what you give them.” On my last day, the zoo staff surprised me with a “Junior Zookeeper” certificate (证书). Dr. Wilson wrote on it: “To the girl who sees more than just animals — she sees individuals.” Now when I visit, the pandas still chew their bamboo lazily, but I notice new details: how the youngest one always saves the tenderest (最嫩的) parts for last, just like I used to save the best candy in my Halloween bag. 4. What was the author’s major task in the zoo? A. Drawing pictures of zoo visitors. B. Hand-feeding baby giraffes. C. Helping with medical checkups. D. Recording animals’ daily habits. 5. The underlined word “glamorous” in Paragraph 3 most likely means ________. A. Tiring and boring B. Exciting and attractive C. Dangerous and difficult D. Simple and ordinary 6. What did Dr. Wilson teach the author about working with animals? A. Showing fear sometimes helps build trust with animals. B. Young animals require more attention than adults. C. Staying relaxed and respectful helps earn animals’ respect. D. Animals can understand human language if spoken calmly. 7. Which of the following sentences best describes the author in the passage? A. The early bird catches the worm. B. Respect opens hidden wonders. C. All good things come to those who wait. D. You can’t judge a book by its cover. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者因对动物的热爱而在城市动物园获得工作机会的经历，详细描述了作者在动物园的工作内容、所学到的经验教训以及获得的成长和感悟。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“My main task was recording the animals’ behavior: when they ate, how they interacted, even their moods.(我的主要任务是记录动物的行为：它们何时进食、如何互动，甚至是它们的情绪。)”可知，作者在动物园的主要任务是记录动物的行为，包括它们的进食时间、互动方式甚至情绪，这些都属于动物的日常习性。故选D。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“It wasn’t glamorous work. I cleaned cages, prepared food, and once got sprayed by a very unhappy lemur (狐猴). But I also got to witness a baby giraffe take its first steps and help hand-feed a sick koala.(这份工作并不……。我打扫笼子、准备食物，有一次还被一只怒气冲冲的狐猴喷了一身。但我也见证了小长颈鹿迈出的第一步，还帮忙亲手喂养了一只生病的考拉。)”可知，作者所做的事情都属于琐碎甚至有些狼狈的工作。而转折词“But”之后提到见证小长颈鹿学步、亲手喂养生病的考拉又是充满意义和乐趣的瞬间。由此可推断，“It wasn’t glamorous work”指这份工作并不 “令人兴奋或有吸引力”，“glamorous” 与选项B“Exciting and attractive”意思最接近。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“One afternoon, Dr. Wilson let me observe a routine checkup on the oldest tiger. When the tiger suddenly growled (低吼), I jumped back in fear. “Animals sense your energy,” Dr. Wilson said calmly. “Respect them, but don’t show fear. They’ll mirror what you give them.”(一天下午，Wilson博士让我观摩对最年长那只老虎的例行检查。当老虎突然低吼时，我吓得往后跳了一步。“动物能感受到你的气场，”Wilson博士平静地说，“要尊重它们，但别表现出恐惧。你怎样对它们，它们就会怎样回应你。”)”可知，Wilson博士教导作者，与动物相处时保持放松（不表现恐惧）和尊重，才能赢得动物的尊重。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，作者从最初单纯喜爱动物，到在Wilson博士的引导下学会尊重动物（不表现恐惧、关注它们的独特性），进而发现了动物更多细微而珍贵的细节（如熊猫保存最嫩竹子的习惯）。Wilson博士的话“Respect them, but don’t show fear. They’ll mirror what you give them.(要尊重它们，但别表现出恐惧。你怎样对它们，它们就会怎样回应你。)” 以及证书上的评语“she sees individuals(她看到的是一个个独特的生命)”，都体现了“尊重”让作者打开了对动物认知的新视角，发现了隐藏的美好。故选B。 C Data from the OECD (经合组织) released on December 10th shows adults in rich countries have worse reading and math skills than ten years ago. The organization tests adults(aged 16-65) every ten years on skills for daily life, from factory work to understanding news. Results from 31 countries are worrying — 20% of adults do no better than primary school kids in math and reading. Over the past ten years, reading scores went down in most countries, and math scores fell in many — even though adults have more education than before. Changes in population, such as immigrants (移民) having trouble with the language, or people’s age explain part of this, but the trend is still bad — probably because of social media or shortcomings of education systems. Basic reading and math skills aren’t taken seriously today. People talk more about “soft skills” like social skills and the hype(宣扬) about AI makes basic skills seem old-fashioned. But OECD finds that adults failing these tests earn less, have poorer health, feel left out of politics. The gap between the best and worst performers is growing, mostly because the worst are getting worse. What can we do to make things better? First, we must keep improving kids’ education. If countries make sure every student learns strong reading and math skills early, more adults in the future will have these basics. Take England as an example — their young people do better — maybe because of their tougher exams. Second, building better adult education systems is important. Many adults today can’t afford extra classes, but if governments spend more money on free or cheap courses, more people can learn new skills. And online lessons are easier for busy people to join. The future doesn’t have to be disappointing. If we start acting now, for kids and adults, we can change this trend and make sure everyone has the reading and math skills they need. It’s never too late to learn! 8. What problem do the OECD test results show? A. Young adults perform worse than older generations in exams. B. Adults in rich countries spend too much time on social media. C About 20% of adults have math and reading skills no higher than school kids. D. Immigrants and older people are the primary reason for the decline in basic skills. 9. Which one of the following might be a “soft skill”? A. Repairing car engines. B. Solving math problems. C. Team communication in meetings. D. Text understanding for news reports. 10. What can be inferred from the example of England mentioned in paragraph 3? A. Young people in England are less influenced by social media. B. Stricter academic test may contribute to better basic skills in children. C. England has the most effective education system in the world. D. Adult education programs in England are more affordable and accessible to people. 11. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The role of technology in shaping modern trends. B. The challenges faced by adult education systems worldwide. C. The importance of balancing hard and soft skills in education. D. The decline of basic skills in rich countries and ways to improve it. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章首先通过引用经合组织的数据指出富裕国家成年人的阅读和数学技能下降的现象，接着分析了可能的原因，然后提出了改善这一状况的建议，包括改善儿童教育和建立更好的成人教育系统，最后表达了对于改变这一趋势的信心。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Results from 31 countries are worrying — 20% of adults do no better than primary school kids in math and reading.( 31个国家的测试结果令人担忧——20%的成年人在数学和阅读方面的表现并不比小学生好。)”可知，经合组织的测试结果显示，20%的成年人在数学和阅读方面的能力并不比小学生强。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“People talk more about “soft skills” like social skills and the hype(宣扬) about AI makes basic skills seem old-fashioned.(人们更多地谈论社交能力等“软技能”，而对人工智能的宣扬也让基础技能显得过时。)”中对“软技能”的描述可知，软技能指非技术性的、与人际交往相关的能力。选项C“(会议中的团队沟通)”属于社交技能范畴，符合“soft skills”的定义。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Take England as an example — their young people do better — maybe because of their tougher exams.(以英国为例，该国的年轻人表现更好——这或许得益于其难度更高的考试。)”可知，英国年轻人在基础技能上表现更好，文中推测这可能与该国“更难的考试”有关。由此可推断，更严格的学术测试可能有助于提升儿童的基础技能。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章第一段通过经合组织的数据指出，富裕国家成年人的基础阅读和数学技能较十年前下降，20%的成年人能力不及小学生；第二段分析了这一现象的原因（人口变化、社交媒体、教育体系缺陷等）及影响（收入低、健康差、社会参与度低等）；第三段提出改善措施（加强儿童基础教育、完善成人教育体系等）；最后一段强调通过行动扭转趋势的可能性。选项D“The decline of basic skills in rich countries and ways to improve it.(富裕国家基础技能的下降及改善方法)”完整概括了文章的核心内容。故选D。 D As technology advances, batteries are getting smaller and stronger. However, traditional rigid batteries often fail to meet the needs of modern devices like health-monitoring skin stickers or brain-controlled artificial limbs. These devices require batteries that can bend and stretch naturally with the human body. Ordinary batteries made of hard materials become unreliable when they are bent. Body movements may break their electrical paths, causing discomfort or failure. To solve this problem, scientists are developing flexible batteries using new materials. One breakthrough comes from an unexpected source — electric eels (电鳗). These creatures store energy using charged particles (带电粒子) in their cells, inspiring a new type of “Jelly Battery”. A team at the University of Cambridge developed soft, stretchable batteries called jelly batteries. Made from water-rich hydrogels (水凝胶) (over 60% water), they copy biological systems. Unlike regular batteries, jelly batteries work perfectly even when stretched 1.5 times their original length. “They adapt to body movements, making them ideal for implants in organs like the heart or brain,” explains researcher Stephen O’Neill. Jelly batteries create electricity like living things. They use differences in charged particles between layers, similar to nerve (神经) cells. While a single jelly battery produces only 0.1 volts (much less than a 1.5V AA battery), connecting many units can increase power. Surprisingly, they can repair themselves if damaged. “The hydrogel’s structure allows quick self-healing, perfect for extreme environments,” adds researcher Jade McCune. Beyond medical devices, jelly batteries could change soft robotics. Flexible parts would make robots safer around humans. They might power smart gloves helping stroke patients regain hand movement. Chinese researchers also created a similar hydrogel battery that survives repeated bending and self-heals after ten breaks. With costs similar to traditional batteries, mass production seems possible. The Cambridge team is now testing biocompatibility (生物相容性) but expects no issues since the batteries are mostly water. As wearable tech grows, these stretchable power sources could inspire endless innovations — from smart clothing to lifelike artificial limbs. The future of batteries isn’t just powerful, it’s flexible. 12. What inspired the scientists to design Jelly Battery? A. The movement of some creatures in the ocean. B. The energy storage of electric eels. C. The biological systems copied by water-rich hydrogels. D. The flexibility of human skin. 13. What is the main advantage of Jelly Battery mentioned in paragraph 2? A. They are cheaper to produce than regular batteries. B. They can bend and stretch with body movements. C. They use water as their primary energy source. D. They store energy longer than AA batteries. 14. What can be inferred about the self-healing ability of Jelly Battery? A. It makes them suitable for extreme environments. B. It allows daily use without charging. C. It stops them from working in high temperatures. D. It depends on endless power sources. 15. Which title best summarizes the main idea of the text? A. The Challenges of Developing Batteries B. How Hydrogels Are Improving Medical Devices C. From Electric Eels to Jelly Battery: A New Energy Era D. The Role of Jelly in Modern Battery Technology 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕新型“果冻电池”展开，详细介绍了其研发背景、灵感来源、特性、应用前景以及生产可能性，旨在向读者科普这一科技创新成果。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“One breakthrough comes from an unexpected source — electric eels(电鳗). These creatures store energy using charged particles(带电粒子) in their cells, inspiring a new type of “Jelly Battery”.(其中一项突破来自一个意想不到的来源——电鳗。这些生物利用细胞中的带电粒子储存能量，这启发了一种新型 “果冻电池” 的研发。)”可知，电鳗利用细胞中的带电粒子储存能量的方式，启发了科学家设计出果冻电池。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Ordinary batteries made of hard materials become unreliable when they are bent. Body movements may break their electrical paths, causing discomfort or failure. To solve this problem, scientists are developing flexible batteries using new materials.(由硬质材料制成的普通电池在弯曲时会变得不可靠。身体活动可能会破坏它们的电路，导致不适或故障。为解决这一问题，科学家们正利用新材料研发柔性电池。)”可知，传统刚性电池在弯曲时会因身体活动破坏电路而失效，而科学家研发的柔性电池（包括果冻电池）正是为解决这一问题。因此，其核心优势就是能够随身体活动弯曲和拉伸，避免了传统电池的缺陷。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Surprisingly, they can repair themselves if damaged. “The hydrogel’s structure allows quick self-healing, perfect for extreme environments,” adds researcher Jade McCune.(令人惊讶的是，它们在受损后还能自我修复。“水凝胶的结构使其能够快速自愈，非常适合极端环境，”研究员Jade McCune补充道。)”可推测，果冻电池的自愈能力使其适用于极端环境。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章首先指出传统刚性电池无法满足现代柔性设备的需求，随后介绍科学家受电鳗储能方式的启发，研发出“果冻电池”，并详细说明其材料、特性（可弯曲拉伸、自愈能力等）、应用前景及未来潜力。核心内容围绕“电鳗的启发”到“果冻电池的研发与应用”这一脉络展开，体现了新型能源技术的突破。选项C“From Electric Eels to Jelly Battery: A New Energy Era(从电鳗到果冻电池：一个新的能源时代)”完整概括了灵感来源、核心发明及技术革新的意义，符合文章主旨。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 Find Motivation (动力) When You Feel Tired of Work If you feel you don’t want to work anymore but still need an income, there are several ways you can shift your mindset (心态) ____16____.

Firstly, I waited tables, and it was actually one of my favorite jobs, mostly because of the people. One thing I learned is doing your job right and focusing on ensuring that your customers have the best dining experience. During college, I worked at a place called O’Malleys. It’s not open anymore so I don’t have to worry about getting anybody in trouble, and besides, this isn’t that kind of story. Every Sunday, these two ladies and a little girl would come in, and nobody wanted to wait on them because they were super cheap and never tipped (给小费), so I volunteered, and they became my regulars. I quickly learned that it was a mom, her young daughter, and her mother. They always ordered the same thing. They’d each get water. The two women would split an entrée (主菜), and the young girl would get something off the child’s menu. And they’d leave no tip. I didn’t really care because Sunday lunch was always busy with the crowd, and their check was so small that even a 20% tip would have been just a few dollars. Besides, they were super nice, and I understood that this was their special time out. Going out just wasn’t something they could do. I did my best to treat them just like everybody else, which they appreciated. This went on for over a year. Every Sunday, they would come in their pretty dresses, sit in my section, order the same thing they always did, and not leave me a tip… until one day, they did That day, they came in and ordered iced tea and a soda for the girl, I knew something was up. The two ladies each got their own entree. The little girl got a full order of chicken strips. I’m not sure why I remember exactly what she ordered. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Of course, I asked what the celebration was. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The mother said they were moving to New York the next week. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Of course, I asked what the celebration was. The mother’s eyes sparkled with pride as she said, “I’ve been promoted at work! After all the hard work, it finally paid off. We just had to come here and have a special meal to mark the occasion.” I couldn’t help but smile along with her. I made sure their dining experience was even more special than usual, suggesting some of the best-selling desserts. The mother said they were moving to New York the next week. She then handed me a tip that was much larger than I ever expected. “You’ve always made us feel welcome here. This is for you,” she said. Holding the money, I felt a deep sense of warmth. It wasn't just about the money; it was about the recognition of my kindness. This experience taught me that kindness is always worth it, no matter how long it takes to be rewarded. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在餐饮服务行业工作经历，特别是与一对常来用餐却从不给小费的母女及其孩子的互动故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我当然问了她们在庆祝什么。”以及第二段首句内容“那位母亲说她们下周要搬到纽约去了。”可知，第一段可描写这位母亲告知了作者她升职了，所以来庆祝。 ②由第二段首句内容“那位母亲说她们下周要搬到纽约去了。”可知，第二段可描写这位母亲离开时给了作者一笔小费，感谢作者这么久的服务。 2.续写线索：作者询问她们庆祝什么——母亲告诉作者自己升职了，生活终于有所好转——作者也为她感到高兴，并推荐了一些甜点——母亲说她们要搬到Dallas了，并给了作者一笔小费，感谢作者每次的服务——作者非常感动，也明白了善意永远都会有回报 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①确保：make sure/ensure ②推荐：suggest/recommend ③递给：hand/ give 情绪类 ①受欢迎的：welcome/ accepted ②善意：kindness/goodness 【点睛】【高分句型1】I made sure their dining experience was even more special than usual, suggesting some of the best-selling desserts.（运用了省略that的宾语从句作made sure的宾语） 【高分句型2】She then handed me a tip that was much larger than I ever expected.（运用了that引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年度第二学期芜湖市高中教学质量监控 高一年级英语试题卷 注意事项： 1. 本卷共四部分，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 本试卷包括“试题卷”和“答题卷”两部分。“试题卷”共8页，“答题卷”共3页。 3请务必在“答题卷”上答题，在“试题卷”上答题是无效的。 4. 考试结束后，请将“试题卷”和“答题卷”一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。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。 1.

Lifestyle B I never thought my love for animals would lead me to a job at the city zoo. Last summer, when I was 16, I went there every weekend just to watch the pandas. One day, as I was drawing them in my notebook, an elderly man in a zoo uniform stopped beside me. “Those are quite good,” he said, pointing to my drawings. “Do you know each panda has unique black areas around their eyes? Like human fingerprints.” I didn’t, but from that moment. Dr. Wilson — the head vet — became my teacher. For the next six weeks, I assisted him every morning. My main task was recording the animals’ behavior: when they ate, how they interacted, even their moods. It wasn’t glamorous work. I cleaned cages, prepared food, and once got sprayed by a very unhappy lemur (狐猴). But I also got to witness a baby giraffe take its first steps and help hand-feed a sick koala. The most valuable lesson came unexpectedly. One afternoon Dr. Wilson let me observe a routine checkup on the oldest tiger. When the tiger suddenly growled (低吼), I jumped back in fear. “Animals sense your energy,” Dr. Wilson said calmly. “Respect them, but don’t show fear. They’ll mirror what you give them.” On my last day, the zoo staff surprised me with a “Junior Zookeeper” certificate (证书). Dr. Wilson wrote on it: “To the girl who sees more than just animals — she sees individuals.” Now when I visit, the pandas still chew their bamboo lazily, but I notice new details: how the youngest one always saves the tenderest (最嫩的) parts for last, just like I used to save the best candy in my Halloween bag. 4. What was the author’s major task in the zoo? A. Drawing pictures of zoo visitors. B. Hand-feeding baby giraffes. C. Helping with medical checkups. D. Recording animals’ daily habits. 5.

C Data from the OECD (经合组织) released on December 10th shows adults in rich countries have worse reading and math skills than ten years ago. The organization tests adults(aged 16-65) every ten years on skills for daily life, from factory work to understanding news. Results from 31 countries are worrying — 20% of adults do no better than primary school kids in math and reading. Over the past ten years, reading scores went down in most countries, and math scores fell in many — even though adults have more education than before. Changes in population, such as immigrants (移民) having trouble with the language, or people’s age explain part of this, but the trend is still bad — probably because of social media or shortcomings of education systems. Basic reading and math skills aren’t taken seriously today. People talk more about “soft skills” like social skills and the hype(宣扬) about AI makes basic skills seem old-fashioned. But OECD finds that adults failing these tests earn less, have poorer health, feel left out of politics. The gap between the best and worst performers is growing, mostly because the worst are getting worse. What can we do to make things better? First, we must keep improving kids’ education. If countries make sure every student learns strong reading and math skills early, more adults in the future will have these basics. Take England as an example — their young people do better — maybe because of their tougher exams. Second, building better adult education systems is important. Many adults today can’t afford extra classes, but if governments spend more money on free or cheap courses, more people can learn new skills. And online lessons are easier for busy people to join. The future doesn’t have to be disappointing. If we start acting now, for kids and adults, we can change this trend and make sure everyone has the reading and math skills they need. It’s never too late to learn! 8. What problem do the OECD test results show? A. Young adults perform worse than older generations in exams. B. Adults in rich countries spend too much time on social media. C. About 20% of adults have math and reading skills no higher than school kids. D. Immigrants and older people are the primary reason for the decline in basic skills. 9. Which one of the following might be a “soft skill”? A. Repairing car engines. B. Solving math problems. C. Team communication in meetings. D. Text understanding for news reports. 10. What can be inferred from the example of England mentioned in paragraph 3? A. Young people in England are less influenced by social media. B. Stricter academic test may contribute to better basic skills in children. C. England has the most effective education system in the world. D. Adult education programs in England are more affordable and accessible to people. 11. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The role of technology in shaping modern trends. B. The challenges faced by adult education systems worldwide. C. The importance of balancing hard and soft skills in education. D. The decline of basic skills in rich countries and ways to improve it. D As technology advances, batteries are getting smaller and stronger. However, traditional rigid batteries often fail to meet the needs of modern devices like health-monitoring skin stickers or brain-controlled artificial limbs. These devices require batteries that can bend and stretch naturally with the human body. Ordinary batteries made of hard materials become unreliable when they are bent. Body movements may break their electrical paths, causing discomfort or failure. To solve this problem, scientists are developing flexible batteries using new materials. One breakthrough comes from an unexpected source — electric eels (电鳗). These creatures store energy using charged particles (带电粒子) in their cells, inspiring a new type of “Jelly Battery”. A team at the University of Cambridge developed soft, stretchable batteries called jelly batteries. Made from water-rich hydrogels (水凝胶) (over 60% water), they copy biological systems. Unlike regular batteries, jelly batteries work perfectly even when stretched 1.5 times their original length. “They adapt to body movements, making them ideal for implants in organs like the heart or brain,” explains researcher Stephen O’Neill. Jelly batteries create electricity like living things. They use differences in charged particles between layers, similar to nerve (神经) cells. While a single jelly battery produces only 0.1 volts (much less than a 1.5V AA battery), connecting many units can increase power. Surprisingly, they can repair themselves if damaged. “The hydrogel’s structure allows quick self-healing, perfect for extreme environments,” adds researcher Jade McCune. Beyond medical devices, jelly batteries could change soft robotics. Flexible parts would make robots safer around humans. They might power smart gloves helping stroke patients regain hand movement. Chinese researchers also created a similar hydrogel battery that survives repeated bending and self-heals after ten breaks. With costs similar to traditional batteries, mass production seems possible. The Cambridge team is now testing biocompatibility (生物相容性) but expects no issues since the batteries are mostly water. As wearable tech grows, these stretchable power sources could inspire endless innovations — from smart clothing to lifelike artificial limbs. The future of batteries isn’t just powerful, it’s flexible. 12. What inspired the scientists to design Jelly Battery? A. The movement of some creatures in the ocean. B. The energy storage of electric eels. C. The biological systems copied by water-rich hydrogels. D. The flexibility of human skin. 13. What is the main advantage of Jelly Battery mentioned in paragraph 2? A. They are cheaper to produce than regular batteries. B. They can bend and stretch with body movements. C. They use water as their primary energy source. D. They store energy longer than AA batteries. 14. What can be inferred about the self-healing ability of Jelly Battery? A. It makes them suitable for extreme environments. B. It allows daily use without charging. C. It stops them from working in high temperatures. D. It depends on endless power sources. 15. Which title best summarizes the main idea of the text? A. The Challenges of Developing Batteries B. How Hydrogels Are Improving Medical Devices C. From Electric Eels to Jelly Battery: A New Energy Era D. The Role of Jelly in Modern Battery Technology 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 Find Motivation (动力) When You Feel Tired of Work If you feel you don’t want to work anymore but still need an income, there are several ways you can shift your mindset (心态) ____16____.

Firstly, I waited tables, and it was actually one of my favorite jobs, mostly because of the people. One thing I learned is doing your job right and focusing on ensuring that your customers have the best dining experience. During college, I worked at a place called O’Malleys. It’s not open anymore so I don’t have to worry about getting anybody in trouble, and besides, this isn’t that kind of story. Every Sunday, these two ladies and a little girl would come in, and nobody wanted to wait on them because they were super cheap and never tipped (给小费), so I volunteered, and they became my regulars. I quickly learned that it was a mom, her young daughter, and her mother. They always ordered the same thing. They’d each get water. The two women would split an entrée (主菜), and the young girl would get something off the child’s menu. And they’d leave no tip. I didn’t really care because Sunday lunch was always busy with the crowd, and their check was so small that even a 20% tip would have been just a few dollars. Besides, they were super nice, and I understood that this was their special time out. Going out just wasn’t something they could do. I did my best to treat them just like everybody else, which they appreciated. This went on for over a year. Every Sunday, they would come in their pretty dresses, sit in my section, order the same thing they always did, and not leave me a tip… until one day, they did That day, they came in and ordered iced tea and a soda for the girl, I knew something was up. The two ladies each got their own entree. The little girl got a full order of chicken strips. I’m not sure why I remember exactly what she ordered. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Of course, I asked what the celebration was. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The mother said they were moving to New York the next week. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
