[湖北黄冈2024调研]The daughter of a romantic poet and occasional freedom fighter, Ada Lovelace had a famous but absent father. She never knew Lord Byron, as just weeks after her birth in 1815, he divorced her mother Isabella Milbanke Byron and left to fight in the Greek War of Independence. In an effort to prevent Ada from developing her father’s unpredictable temper, Isabella decided that her daughter should devote her life to study.
Ada studied hard despite the fact that society did not encourage women to pursue interest in science at the time. Her life changed when she met inventor Charles Babbage at a party. As he demonstrated a working section of his mechanical calculator, Ada was taken in by how it worked and wanted to know more. Impressed by the 17-year-old’s obvious passion, Babbage became her tutor. Ada married in 1835 and became a mother, but she continued to take an active interest in study, socializing in intellectual circles with the likes of Charles Dickens and Michael Faraday.

Ada stayed in contact with Babbage, who in 1837 had proposed a new machine, the analytical engine. In 1843, Ada was asked to translate a French text written by engineer Luigi Menabrea about Babbage’s new design. After completing the translation, Ada was encouraged by Babbage to write her own notes on his work.
After nine months of hard work, Ada presented Babbage with a detailed list of notes that was three times longer than the original article. In her calculations, Ada wrote what are considered the first-ever computer algorithms to be used in a new type of machine. She essentially provided the first ideas for computer programming in what was a groundbreaking proposal on the potential of computers.
Ada died of cancer aged only 36 and her work was largely recognized until the 1950s when her notes were republished. In 1979 the US Department of Defense named a programming language “Ada” in her honour.

1.What can we learn about Ada from the first paragraph?( )
B
A.She had a devoted father. B.Her mother raised her alone.
C.She had an uncontrollable temper. D.Her parents divorced before her birth.
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中的Ada Lovelace had a famous but absent father和“as just weeks after her birth in 1815, he divorced her mother Isabella Milbanke Byron”可知,阿达的父亲在她出生数周后就和她的母亲离婚了,阿达从未见过自己的父亲。因此可以推断她是由母亲独自抚养长大的。故选B项。

[江苏五市十一校2024高二联考]An electronic “tongue” that can potentially replicate (复制) human preferences for certain foods is in development. This breakthrough comes as researchers aim to integrate emotional intelligence into artificial intelligence (AI).
AI has advanced significantly over the years. However, its current models largely disregard human psychology, such as emotional intelligence.“The main focus of our work was how we could bring the emotional part of intelligence to AI,” says Saptarshi Das, associate professor at the Pennsylvania State University (Penn State).“Human behaviour is easy to observe but difficult to measure and that makes it difficult to replicate in a robot and make it emotionally intelligent. There is no real way right now to do that.”
Eating habits serve as a prime example of this emotional intelligence. While hunger is the physiological drive to eat, our choices of what to eat are influenced by our sense of taste. As Das explains, even when one is not hungry, the psychological desire can drive him or her to consume a sweet treat, rather than a piece of meat.
刷阅读理解
29
To grasp the complicated details of taste, Penn State researchers looked to the human tongue, which translates chemical data into electrical signals sent to the brain’s gustatory cortex (味觉皮层).In this brain region, complex neuronal networks shape our sense of taste. To imitate this, the team created an electronic “tongue”.
This technology can be adapted to recognize all primary taste profiles, from sweet and salty to umami (鲜味的).Looking ahead, the researchers see numerous applications, including AI-designed diets based on emotional preferences or tailored restaurant meal suggestions.
The team’s immediate goal is to expand the electronic tongue’s capacity.“We are trying to imitate the 10,000 or so taste receptors we have on our tongue that are each slightly different compared to the others, which enables us to distinguish between small differences in tastes,” says Das.“The example I think of is people who train their tongue and become a wine taster. Perhaps in the future, we can have an AI system that you can train to be an even better wine taster.”

Beyond taste, the team wants to broaden this concept to other senses, leading to a more comprehensive and emotionally intelligent AI system.

1.What can be learnt from paragraph 2?( )
A
A.It is hard to make robots emotionally intelligent.
B.It is necessary to make robots emotionally intelligent.
C.Emotional intelligence is complex and difficult to observe.
D.Few researchers pay attention to emotional intelligence of AI.
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Human behaviour is easy to observe but difficult to measure and that makes it difficult to replicate in a robot and make it emotionally intelligent.There is no real way right now to do that.”可知,很难使机器人具有情商。
刷阅读理解
32
2.What might this electronic “tongue” be applied to in the future?( )
D
A.Evaluating people’s diet plans.
B.Designing a healthier diet plan for people.
C.Correcting people’s poor dietary preferences.
D.Helping restaurants serve customers better.
解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“Looking ahead, the researchers see numerous applications, including AI-designed diets based on emotional preferences or tailored restaurant meal suggestions.”可知,这种电子“舌头”将来可能会帮助餐馆更好地为顾客服务。

[浙江9+1联盟2025高二期中]Two small white dogs appeared as I arrived at a ranch house a few miles off the highway in Hempstead, followed by John Mendola, a retired police officer. He introduced me to the dogs, Princess Ariel and Princess Jasmine. They were named after a deceased dog named Princess to whom they are similar in every detail. And they should be: They are Princess’s clones.
It has now been nearly thirty years since cloning mammals (哺乳动物) became possible. The technology has mainly been used to produce cattle, sheep, and pigs. However, since 2005, more than two thousand dogs have been successfully cloned. Biologically, it is not very different from cloning cows or sheep, but in other respects the cloning of pets raises a host of ethical (伦理的) and identity issues.
刷阅读理解
64
There are issues of exploitation (剥削)—both of grieving owners who hope to bring back their lost pets, and of the unseen animals whose bodies are used in making a clone. There’s the issue of supply: the production of tailored dogs in a society when so many good, naturally born ones in shelters are in need of adoption.Finally, there’s an existential issue: Who, exactly, is produced when a dog is cloned? Dogs are seen by most owners as a species of individuals, with distinct personalities. We keep them for companionship. As a result, we have placed our ideas of selfhood onto them, giving them preferences, fears, and moods. But, if it is dogs’ individuality that we value, how can we accept the idea that their unique and irreproducible selves can, in fact, be reproduced?
刷阅读理解
65
As a matter of fact, among the people who have cloned their dogs, many struggled to say exactly what it was about the original animal that they had wanted to reproduce, especially in contrast to other dogs they had loved but hadn’t felt like cloning. Many spoke of the original as simply “special”—but the specific nature of that specialness seemed almost impossible to be explained. Perhaps the desire was less about recreating the original dog than about bringing back the unique relationship that had been established with the animal.

[山东省实验中学2025高二期中]In the movie The Wrong Trousers, a pair of futuristic trousers lets people walk on walls and ceilings. Inspired by the movie, researchers in England developed “The Right Trousers”, a set of trousers with electrical pumps to force air into tiny tubes that expand. This can help elderly or disabled people with issues like getting up or improving blood flow. Now, materials scientists, computer programmers and fabric designers are working to advance robotic clothing.
In June, researchers in Australia created robotic fibres, which can make fabric move automatically.Last year, scientists at MIT built fibre batteries that could be embedded (嵌入) in clothes and power robotic clothing. In recent years, a network technology company has partnered with some brands to put sensors in jackets, backpacks and shoes, letting users access their phones instantly. Researchers said they can soon unlock a stage where clothing will act more like a computer, sensing how your body feels and telling your clothes how to help.

At the University of New South Wales in Australia, researchers are creating fabrics that can change shape. Thanh Nho Do, a senior lecturer at the school, said his team has created tiny tubes that can be woven (编织) into sheets of fabric. These tubes can make fabric take on various preprogrammed shapes. But challenges still remain for Do’s team, especially around making these robotic tubes smaller so they can be easily woven together with other fabrics.
Rebecca Kramer-Bottiglio from Yale University agreed that many challenges remain before smart clothing “reaches their full potential”.It will be challenging to make these clothes, equipped with fibres and technology, strong enough to go through multiple cycles in the laundry (洗衣房), she said. Despite that, she says researchers will figure out a way forwards.“Recent breakthroughs point towards a not-so-distant future where smart clothing will be a part of our everyday life,” she said.

[湖南师大附中2025高二期末]A team of AI researchers at a technology company, working with workers from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), has used AI to develop a battery that uses less lithium (锂).
Lithium-ion batteries have become the industry standard for electronic devices and electric vehicles and are expected to play a major role in the change to green power. But lithium is expensive, which has led multiple teams across the globe to look for alternatives. In this new effort, the research team looked for ways to reduce the amount of lithium used in batteries.
This would normally take a long time because of the detailed approach required. To reduce the workload and the time needed to process millions of alternatives, the researchers turned to AI.Noting that AI applications are good at using massive amounts of data to learn how to do things, the researchers designed one that could study millions of materials which might be added to a lithium battery to replace some amount of the lithium and test the results for factors such as stability and how a battery using a given material would behave.

Using this approach, the research team reduced the list of possible alternatives to just a few hundred possibilities. They then turned to materials scientists at PNNL for advice on how to reduce the possibilities even further. The scientists suggested adding more specific screening criteria and more testing rounds. After adopting that advice, the team arrived at a promising alternative and an approach that involved replacing approximately half of the lithium atoms in a battery with sodium (钠) atoms.
After using the new approach to build a working battery, the researchers found it had lower conductivity (导电性) than needed—but they also believed that there is room for improvement. They plan to continue working on the approach and the process they used to find their solution, which they suggest could eventually solve other types of material processing problems.

[全国新课标Ⅱ2024]We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more.
BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.
刷阅读理解

Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored.Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started.
Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.
BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic.“We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee.

[重庆一中2025高二期中]My curiosity about body language started with a particular professor from my university. On a brisk morning, as he playfully pointed out my tendency to rub my nose whenever I made up excuses for being late for his lectures, he fascinated me with the gripping (吸引人的) notion of “Pinocchio”.Actually, when someone tells a lie, the person’s blood rushes to the nose and the extra blood makes it itchy (发痒的).This little example of nonverbal communication inspired me to become a body language expert. Now, I earn my living by training people in nonverbal communication. Knowing when someone is lying and knowing how to persuade people that you’re telling the truth are two of the most important skills you’ll ever learn.
I have spent a lot of time studying the way the human body gives more reliable information than the words we speak. The words say one thing but the body may say something completely different. We know that crossed arms can be seen as either defensive or aggressive, but what about facial expressions, postures and gestures? All of these say a lot and can only be understood if you know how to make sense of the signs.

Business clients are always in need of my services and I try to improve their confidence by teaching them about body language. I give advice about handshakes, which should always be firm and steady, and I teach the importance of personal space. They may seem like minor matters, but these codes of behaviour can be the key to making or breaking a business deal.
My working life gives me a great deal of satisfaction. I feel that I’m providing a public service, but it is a service that has had its downside. Whenever I meet someone new and I tell them what I do for a living, they are immediately on their guard and they’re no longer relaxed. They quite literally freeze in the attempt to hide all the signals that they think I’m reading. It makes life difficult at times, but I consider it a small price to pay for a job I enjoy so much.

方法总结 注意语法填空中的词性活用
语法填空中的词性活用通常有两种情况:一种是带有提示词的设空,所给提示词有多个词性或是词性活用的情况,例如名词动用等,如本篇的第5题;另一种是无提示词的设空,需要判断空后单词的词性,如本篇的第8题。在遇到这种题时,如果只着眼于这一个空,很容易因为对词性的固有印象而作出错误判断,例如第5题中,学生会误将map判定为名词,却忽视了句中缺少谓语成分这一条件。解答此类题目时,首先要结合整句话以及上下文来理解句意,划分句子结构,判断设空处在句中所作的成分,由此判断提示词应该使用什么词性,然后再对其进行变形,填写相应的形式。平时在练习的过程中,同学们也可以多积累这种词性活用的词。

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。
Derek and Shirley walked out of the airport building and into the bright sunshine. Looking up at the brilliant blue sky and then at the faraway mountains rising above the swaying (摇摆) palm trees, they couldn’t wait to start their holiday.
A taxi pulled up swiftly and silently. Derek dropped their suitcases into the boot and joined Shirley in the back seat.“Palm Trees Hotel, please,” Derek said excitedly.“Certainly, sir,” replied the driver, as he turned around with a flashing white smile. Derek and Shirley gave each other a puzzled look as the taxi eased smoothly into the traffic.“Excuse me, er, your face seems very familiar—in fact, you remind us of that famous film star, Rocky Overton… but of course, you can’t be.”
Derek and Shirley sat in silent disbelief as the driver explained that he was not a real person, but a robot made to look like a famous actor.“Rocky” explained that the taxi company had purchased the latest model of robot drivers since they were programmed to be safer and more reliable than human drivers.“So, here I am,” “Rocky” continued, “your first robot taxi driver!”

Derek and Shirley held each other’s hands more tightly.“Relax,” “Rocky” reassured them.“There is nothing for you to worry about. I can assure you that my driving skills are excellent. I’m equipped with perfect vision and superior reactions, and I know every street in the city. I am instantly updated with the latest traffic information so that I can avoid traffic jams and get you to your destination in the quickest and least stressful manner. Please sit back, relax and enjoy the journey.”
Derek and Shirley, feeling a little better, leaned back in their seats and closed their eyes.“And another thing,” “Rocky” added, “my line of robots represents the ultimate in computer technology. I am beautifully designed, made from only the best materials and subject to the strictest quality checks. Therefore, you are entirely safe with me. Nothing could possibly go wrong… could possibly go wrong… go wrong… go wrong…”

续写第一段(提示句:德里克和雪莉面面相觑,眼中满是惧怕。) 由第一段提示句可知,本段可描写机器人司机出故障之后,车辆发生的问题和两人的应对措施,可以围绕两人面对失控的车辆产生的心理活动等进行描写;结合第二段提示句可知,第一段应提及在紧要关头,他们想到了给出租车公司打电话,与第二段开头出租车公司的工作人员接了电话相衔接。
续写第二段(提示句:“别担心,先生,”电话里传来平静的回答,“您的出租车也是一辆无人驾驶汽车。”) 由第二段提示句可知,第二段应描写出租车公司的工作人员对德里克和雪莉的安抚以及对事故的解决办法。段首句给出的提示是汽车可以使用无人驾驶模式,故本段的解决办法应该围绕无人驾驶来展开。最后德里克和雪莉平安下车。
情节线索 机器人司机出故障,车辆失控——打电话给出租车公司——工作人员安抚两人情绪并解决问题——安全到达目的地
情感线索 德里克和雪莉面对机器人故障时的害怕——给出租车公司打电话时的激动——确认平安后的庆幸

Derek and Shirley looked at each other with great fear in their eyes.The taxi was moving faster and faster, and “Rocky” seemed to be malfunctioning.“Slow down!” Derek shouted, but “Rocky” did not respond.The robot drove even faster than before and narrowly missed a car.Terrified, Derek grabbed his phone.With trembling fingers, he called the taxi company.“Hello?” Derek shouted into the phone, “Our robot driver is having a breakdown and he’s completely out of control.We need help quickly!”
“Don’t worry, sir,” came the calm reply on the phone, “and your taxi is also a driverless car.” The reply continued, “We have the authority to disable the robot driver.Let me switch your taxi to the driverless mode and get you to your destination safely.” The taxi immediately slowed down and continued as if nothing had happened, although its driver could be heard mumbling to himself, “… go wrong… go wrong…” When they finally arrived at their hotel, Derek and Shirley quickly got out of the taxi, relieved and grateful to be alive.As they watched the taxi move away, they agreed that for the rest of the holiday, they would walk everywhere!
