The screen, which they refer to as “DeformIO”, uses air-powered systems and sensors to detect levels of pressure applied by a finger and then collapse (凹陷) around it. The researchers say it could add a new input layer (输入层) to mobile devices that could be used for a wide variety of tasks, from looking through digital maps to playing games and “feeling” the hardness of products virtually. Though DeformIO, which is 3 mm thick with a 140 mm² surface layer, isn't the first changeable screen, it can apply several force inputs on various parts of the screen at the same time, which means users can experience a feeling of continuous tactile (触觉的) response while moving their finger across the screen. “In other words, DeformIO allows users to feel a richer, more tactile and natural response as they press the surface,” lead author James Nash said. If the new screens are ever indeed applied to widespread consumer mobile devices, they could change the way users interface with apps and services used on a daily basis. The researchers imagine a situation where a future traveler equipped with DeformIO uses it to move through sections of the digital map. In this example, the traveler could quickly switch between the road view section of a map and satellite view by simply applying more and less pressure on the screen. It's uncertain if everyday phone users will find the new screen attractive enough to give up their glass touch screens. Less advanced mobile designs like foldable screens, which have already existed for years, are still struggling to gain wide use outside of a limited audience. It’s possible that screens like DeformIO could end up the same way. “We hope that in 10 to 20 years’ time, the concepts it presents could be in your mobile phone. For now, we' re exploring the applications it might be best suited to. ” Nash said. 1．What can be learned about DeformIO? A．It's a protective layer for screens. B．It's a screen with tactile flexibility. C．It performs different tasks together. D．It senses changes in users' identity. 2．What makes DeformIO stand out among other similar designs? A．Its adaptable appearance. B．Its better-quality sensors. C．Its small size and light weight. D．Its more realistic sense of touch. 3．What does the underlined phrase “interface with” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Mix up. B．Assist with. C．Connect with. D．Improve on. 4．What challenge might DeformIO face? A．Low customer interest. B．Technical design limitations. C．Insufficient development funds. D．Strong competition within the industry. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国巴斯大学研发的DeformIO——它能根据手指压力实时改变形状与硬度，为用户提供连续的触觉反馈，从而在手机、地图导航等日常应用中实现更自然、丰富的交互体验。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“Researchers from the University of Bath recently developed a new touch screen that's capable of changing its shape and hardness when users apply various levels of force to it. The screen, which they refer to as “DeformIO”, uses air-powered systems and sensors to detect levels of pressure applied by a finger and then collapse (凹陷) around it.(巴斯大学的研究人员最近研发出一款新型触摸屏，当用户对其施加不同力度时，该屏幕能够改变自身的形状与硬度。这款被他们命名为 “DeformIO” 的屏幕，采用气动系统和传感器来检测手指施加的压力大小，随后会围绕手指发生凹陷。)”可知，DeformIO 是一块具有触觉柔韧性的屏幕。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段的句子““In other words, DeformIO allows users to feel a richer, more tactile and natural response as they press the surface,” lead author James Nash said.(首席作者詹姆斯·纳什说：“换句话说，DeformIO可以让用户在按压表面时感受到更丰富、更有触感和更自然的反应。)”可知，DeformIO突出优势是更真实、丰富的触感。故选D项。 3．词句猜测题。根据划线短语上文的“If the new screens are ever indeed applied to widespread consumer mobile devices(如果新屏幕真的应用到广泛的消费者移动设备上)”和下文的例子“The researchers imagine a situation where a future traveler equipped with DeformIO uses it to move through sections of the digital map. In this example, the traveler could quickly switch between the road view section of a map and satellite view by simply applying more and less pressure on the screen.(研究人员设想了一种情况，未来的旅行者配备了DeformIO，用它来穿越数字地图的各个部分。在这个例子中，旅行者可以通过在屏幕上施加更多或更少的压力，在地图的道路视图部分和卫星视图部分之间快速切换)”可知， 此处指的是“改变用户与应用程序的交互/连接方式”。所以interface with的意义为“与……连接”与connect with意义一致。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子“Less advanced mobile designs like foldable screens, which have already existed for years, are still struggling to gain wide use outside of a limited audience. It's possible that screens like DeformIO could end up the same way.(像折叠屏这类相对不够先进的手机设计，尽管已问世多年，却仍难以在小众群体之外获得广泛应用。DeformIO 这类屏幕最终也有可能落得同样的下场。)”可知，消费者对DeformIO face兴趣可能不高。故选A项。 As plastic waste continues to increase across the globe, creating serious environmental challenges, researchers are turning to nature for sustainable solutions. Maksud Rahman, an assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at the University of Houston, has developed an innovative method for transforming bacterial cellulose (细菌纤维素), a biodegradable material, into a multifunctional substance that could serve as a replacement for plastic. This material holds promise for a wide range of uses. It could soon be used to create everyday items such as disposable water bottles, eco-friendly packaging, and even wound dressings, relying on bacterial cellulose, a naturally abundant and biodegradable biopolymer (生物聚合物) found in the environment. “We imagine these strong, multifunctional and eco-friendly bacterial cellulose sheets becoming common, replacing plastics in various industries and helping reduce environmental damage,” said Rahman, who is reporting his work in Nature Communications. Growing concern over the harmful effects of petroleum-based, non-degradable materials on the environment has intensified the demand for sustainable alternatives, such as natural or biomaterials. Bacterial cellulose has emerged as a potential biomaterial that is naturally abundant, biodegradable, and biocompatible (生物相容的). To strengthen the cellulose and create more functionality, the research team added boron nitride nanosheets (氮化硼纳米片) to the liquid that feeds the bacteria and made a material called “bacterial cellulose-boron nitride hybrid nanosheets” with better mechanical properties and thermal (热的) properties. Rahman said the approach producing strong and multifunctional bacterial cellulose sheets would pave the way towards applications in structural materials, thermal management, packaging, textiles, green electronics and energy storage. “We’re essentially guiding the bacteria to behave with purpose. Rather than moving randomly, we direct their motion, so they produce cellulose in an organized way. This controlled behavior, combined with our flexible biosynthesis (生物合成) method with various nanomaterials, enables us to achieve multifunctional properties in the material,” Rahman said. “This work is a perfect example of interdisciplinary (跨学科的) science at the intersection of materials science, biology, and nanoengineering,” Rahman added. 1．Why does the author mention “plastic waste” in the beginning? A．To present an idea. B．To explain a concept. C．To make a prediction. D．To give background information. 2．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The features of the new material. B．The potential application of the new material. C．The ways of reducing environmental damage. D．The process of producing many everyday items. 3．What did the research team do to improve bacterial cellulose? A．They changed the type of bacteria that produce cellulose. B．They mixed nanomaterials into bacterial cellulose directly. C．They added boron nitride nanosheets to the bacteria’s nutrient liquid. D．They combined boron nitride nanosheets with bacterial cellulose completely. 4．Which of the following would Rahman agree with? A．Cellulose is produced randomly. B．Knowledge in a single field is applied. C．The bacteria behave purposefully under guidance. D．Cellulose sheets hardly benefit different applications. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是休斯顿大学机械与航空航天工程系助理教授Maksud Rahman及其研究团队开发的一种创新方法，即将细菌纤维素（一种可生物降解的材料）转化为多功能物质，以替代塑料，应对全球塑料垃圾增多带来的环境挑战。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“As plastic waste continues to increase across the globe, creating serious environmental challenges, researchers are turning to nature for sustainable solutions.(随着塑料垃圾在全球范围内的持续增加，造成了严重的环境挑战，研究人员正在转向大自然寻求可持续的解决方案)”结合下文介绍处理塑料垃圾的创新方法可知，作者一开始就提到“塑料垃圾”是为了提供背景资料。故选D。 2．主旨大意题。根据第二段“This material holds promise for a wide range of uses. It could soon be used to create everyday items such as disposable water bottles, eco-friendly packaging, and even wound dressings, relying on bacterial cellulose, a naturally abundant and biodegradable biopolymer (生物聚合物) found in the environment.(这种材料应用前景广阔。它很快就能用于制造一次性水瓶、环保包装，甚至伤口敷料等日常用品。细菌纤维素是一种天然丰富且可生物降解的生物聚合物，存在于环境中)”可知，第二段主要讲的是新材料的潜在应用。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“To strengthen the cellulose and create more functionality, the research team added boron nitride nanosheets (氮化硼纳米片) to the liquid that feeds the bacteria and made a material called “bacterial cellulose-boron nitride hybrid nanosheets” with better mechanical properties and thermal (热的) properties.(为增强纤维素的强度并创造更多功能，研究团队在喂养细菌的液体中添加了氮化硼纳米片，制成了一种名为“细菌纤维素-氮化硼混合纳米片”的材料，该材料具有更好的机械性能和热性能)”可知，研究小组在细菌的营养液中加入了氮化硼纳米片来改善细菌纤维素，故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We’re essentially guiding the bacteria to behave with purpose. Rather than moving randomly, we direct their motion, so they produce cellulose in an organized way.(我们本质上是在引导细菌有目的地行动。我们引导它们的运动，而非任其随机移动，这样它们就能以有序的方式产生纤维素)”可知，Rahman会同意的观点是细菌在引导下有目的地行为。故选C。 Dutch startup Nuwa claims to have invented the “world’s most advanced pen” that digitizes (数字化) notes written by hand. The Groningen-based company announced a fresh cash injection of €1.5 million to promote the development of the product, which uses an inbuilt camera system, motion sensors, and artificial intelligence to capture text written on paper. “Just write, and Nuwa Pen digitizes,” Marc Tuinier, Nuwa’s CEO, told us. All the notes are then stored on the startup’s app. They can then be organized, shared, and integrated with other apps. A particularly fascinating feature is intelligent notes, which scans and identifies rich text items such as dates, to-dos, and phone numbers from the notes. Users can then link the data with, for instance, their calendar, to-do app, or phone book. The feature is integrated with over 50 apps. Nuwa compares it to a personal assistant that puts you on top of your schedule. Nuwa is targeting the product at people who still enjoy writing with a pen and notebook. While many smart pens only work on screens or digital writing systems, Nuwa promises adaptability with every type of paper. The product also uses regular ink refills. “Other smart pen brands rely on special dotted paper to recognize what the user is writing, so you’ll also be stuck buying their paper,” Tuinier said. “Nuwa Pen can be used on any paper.” The Nuwa system is built around tiny design. The device weighs just 28 grams — about as much as a single AA battery — but provides enough power for two hours of continuous writing. Three tiny cameras are used to digitize the text with 2 mm×2 mm sensors. All the data is then processed directly on the device. “Capturing handwriting from these sensors in the pen itself, while a pen is constantly moving, is an extremely difficult task to get right — and we’ve done it,” Tuinier said. By combining the trusty old ballpoint pen with the digital world, Nuwa hopes that it can solve one of those needs. The device is now available for pre-order. 1．What is the primary function of the Nuwa Pen? A．Integrating pens with other apps. B．Organizing handwritten notes digitally. C．Combining all apps into a single platform. D．Providing a solution for personal schedules. 2．Who is the Nuwa Pen’s main target buyer? A．People who prefer typing over handwriting. B．People who show interest in smart ink refills. C．People who have an extra budget for paper purchase. D．People who appreciate traditional pen and paper writing. 3．Why does the author list a series of numbers in the last paragraph? A．To show how portable the device is. B．To explain the structure of the cameras. C．To demonstrate the device’s operating time. D．To describe the materials used in the device. 4．What is the author’s attitude towards the Nuwa Pen? A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Neutral. D．Enthusiastic. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。荷兰初创公司Nuwa发明了一种笔，它可以将手写的笔记数字化。文章介绍了这种笔的工作原理和优点等。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Dutch startup Nuwa claims to have invented the ‘world’s most advanced pen’ that digitizes notes written by hand. (荷兰初创公司Nuwa声称已经发明了“世界上最先进的笔”，可以将手写的笔记数字化。)”可知，Nuwa 笔的主要功能是数字化整理手写笔记。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Nuwa is targeting the product at people who still enjoy writing with a pen and notebook. (Nuwa的目标客户是那些仍然喜欢用笔和笔记本写字的人。)”可知，Nuwa Pen的主要目标客户是喜欢用传统的纸和笔书写的人。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The Nuwa system is built around tiny design. The device weighs just 28 grams — about as much as a single AA battery — but provides enough power for two hours of continuous writing. Three tiny cameras are used to digitize the text with 2 mm×2 mm sensors. (Nuwa系统是围绕微小设计而构建的。这款设备的重量只有28克，相当于一节AA电池的重量，但它提供的电量足以连续书写两小时。三个微型相机用2毫米×2毫米的传感器将文本数字化。)”可知，作者在最后一段列出一系列数字是为了展示这种笔的小巧，说明这个设备的便携性。故选A。 4．推理判断题。本文介绍的是荷兰初创公司Nuwa发明的笔，它可以将手写的笔记数字化。作者介绍了这种笔的工作原理和优点等，未表达自己的观点，所以作者的态度是中立的。故选C。 Recently, a research group from Linköping University in Sweden made big news. 1 They introduced a supercool flexible battery in the magazine Science Advances.

Wilson sat focused at his workstation. With steady hands, he carefully connected the final wire of the robotic arm with the remoter and uploaded his code. With the remoter, Wilson tried to control the robotic arm beside his desk. Finally, the arm came to life, smoothly picking up a small ball as planned. At the sight of it, Wilson exchanged a high-five with his classmate Peter, who made a successful attempt as well. Around them, students were rewriting the code, adjusting their robotic arms, testing their functions and celebrating their progress. Mr. Hurd wandered between the desks, offering tips and encouragement. When he reached Wilson and Peter, he nodded with a satisfied smile. “Impressive,” he said. Wilson and Peter’s faces lit up at the praise. Seeing their proud smiles, Mr. Hurd nodded approvingly and said, “You’ve done a remarkable job with your robotic arms, but what can this arm help in real life?” After school, lost in Mr. Hurd’s question, Wilson unconsciously took a different route home, one he hadn’t adopted for years. As he approached the lake, he froze in disbelief, shocked by what he saw. The once-clear water was now dark and polluted, with bottles and other rubbish piling up along the bank. He couldn’t believe his eyes. The lake used to shine like silver under the morning sun, and butterflies danced above flowers while families laid out picnic blankets on the grassy banks. Wilson remembered those mornings clearly, especially the one when his grandfather said, “This lake raised us. One day, it’ll be your turn to take care of it.” Sitting on a rock by the shore, Wilson stared at the rubbish in front of him. “How did something so beautiful end up like this? What could I do to help it?” he thought. Then, suddenly, an idea hit him. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 The next morning, Wilson told Peter his thoughts. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a month, they tested their new design near the lake. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next morning, Wilson told Peter his thoughts. He described how their robotic arm could help clean the polluted lake. With excitement, Peter quickly grasped the potential. They spent every afternoon in the workshop, where they carefully adjusted the design for cleaning the lake. The arm’s fingers were reshaped to better grasp trash, while new sensors helped identify different types of waste. In the end, their creation was ready for testing. After a month, they tested their new design near the lake. A small group of curious onlookers gathered as the robotic arm extended over the murky water. With precise movements, it successfully retrieved plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and even a submerged bicycle tire. Local residents cheered. When the arm struggled with a particularly heavy object, Wilson quickly adjusted the pressure settings, demonstrating their invention’s adaptability. As the sun set, casting golden light on the cleaner water, Mr. Hurd proudly announced, “This is what technology can do for our environment.” 【导语】本文以高中生威尔森的机器人技术创新为线索展开，讲述了他在成功制作机器人手臂后，目睹家乡湖泊污染，从而与同学皮特合作改造设备用于环保清洁的故事，实现了从课堂实验到实际应用的转变。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，威尔森告诉了皮特他的想法。”可知，第一段可描写两人如何调整机械手臂以适应实际需要的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“一个月后，他们在湖边测试新设计。”可知，第二段可描写测试场景及公众反应。 2.续写线索： 课堂项目——老师提出疑问——激发思考——目睹现实——改进技术——公开测试——社会影响 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①理解：grasp/understand ②帮助：help/assist ③宣布：announce/declare 情绪类 ①兴奋：with excitement/in high spirits ②欢呼：cheer/applause 【点睛】[高分句型1] They spent every afternoon in the workshop, where they carefully adjusted the design for cleaning the lake.（运用了由where引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] A small group of curious onlookers gathered as the robotic arm extended over the murky water.（运用了由as引导时间状语从句） 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 2 Looking into the Future 单元话题热点题型组合练 一、语法填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Lucy Hughes, a 24-year-old English 1 (invent), has used skin and scales (鳞) from fish to create a new kind of plastic.

It is predicted that this percentage will further rise to 30 percent by 2035, 10 the elderly population expected to be over 400 million by then. 二、阅读理解 Researchers from the University of Bath recently developed a new touch screen that's capable of changing its shape and hardness when users apply various levels of force to it. The screen, which they refer to as “DeformIO”, uses air-powered systems and sensors to detect levels of pressure applied by a finger and then collapse (凹陷) around it. The researchers say it could add a new input layer (输入层) to mobile devices that could be used for a wide variety of tasks, from looking through digital maps to playing games and “feeling” the hardness of products virtually. Though DeformIO, which is 3 mm thick with a 140 mm² surface layer, isn't the first changeable screen, it can apply several force inputs on various parts of the screen at the same time, which means users can experience a feeling of continuous tactile (触觉的) response while moving their finger across the screen. “In other words, DeformIO allows users to feel a richer, more tactile and natural response as they press the surface,” lead author James Nash said. If the new screens are ever indeed applied to widespread consumer mobile devices, they could change the way users interface with apps and services used on a daily basis. The researchers imagine a situation where a future traveler equipped with DeformIO uses it to move through sections of the digital map. In this example, the traveler could quickly switch between the road view section of a map and satellite view by simply applying more and less pressure on the screen. It's uncertain if everyday phone users will find the new screen attractive enough to give up their glass touch screens. Less advanced mobile designs like foldable screens, which have already existed for years, are still struggling to gain wide use outside of a limited audience. It’s possible that screens like DeformIO could end up the same way. “We hope that in 10 to 20 years’ time, the concepts it presents could be in your mobile phone. For now, we' re exploring the applications it might be best suited to. ” Nash said. 1．What can be learned about DeformIO? A．It's a protective layer for screens.

As plastic waste continues to increase across the globe, creating serious environmental challenges, researchers are turning to nature for sustainable solutions. Maksud Rahman, an assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at the University of Houston, has developed an innovative method for transforming bacterial cellulose (细菌纤维素), a biodegradable material, into a multifunctional substance that could serve as a replacement for plastic. This material holds promise for a wide range of uses. It could soon be used to create everyday items such as disposable water bottles, eco-friendly packaging, and even wound dressings, relying on bacterial cellulose, a naturally abundant and biodegradable biopolymer (生物聚合物) found in the environment. “We imagine these strong, multifunctional and eco-friendly bacterial cellulose sheets becoming common, replacing plastics in various industries and helping reduce environmental damage,” said Rahman, who is reporting his work in Nature Communications. Growing concern over the harmful effects of petroleum-based, non-degradable materials on the environment has intensified the demand for sustainable alternatives, such as natural or biomaterials. Bacterial cellulose has emerged as a potential biomaterial that is naturally abundant, biodegradable, and biocompatible (生物相容的). To strengthen the cellulose and create more functionality, the research team added boron nitride nanosheets (氮化硼纳米片) to the liquid that feeds the bacteria and made a material called “bacterial cellulose-boron nitride hybrid nanosheets” with better mechanical properties and thermal (热的) properties. Rahman said the approach producing strong and multifunctional bacterial cellulose sheets would pave the way towards applications in structural materials, thermal management, packaging, textiles, green electronics and energy storage. “We’re essentially guiding the bacteria to behave with purpose. Rather than moving randomly, we direct their motion, so they produce cellulose in an organized way. This controlled behavior, combined with our flexible biosynthesis (生物合成) method with various nanomaterials, enables us to achieve multifunctional properties in the material,” Rahman said. “This work is a perfect example of interdisciplinary (跨学科的) science at the intersection of materials science, biology, and nanoengineering,” Rahman added. 1．Why does the author mention “plastic waste” in the beginning? A．To present an idea. B．To explain a concept. C．To make a prediction. D．To give background information. 2．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The features of the new material. B．The potential application of the new material. C．The ways of reducing environmental damage. D．The process of producing many everyday items. 3．What did the research team do to improve bacterial cellulose? A．They changed the type of bacteria that produce cellulose. B．They mixed nanomaterials into bacterial cellulose directly. C．They added boron nitride nanosheets to the bacteria’s nutrient liquid. D．They combined boron nitride nanosheets with bacterial cellulose completely. 4．Which of the following would Rahman agree with? A．Cellulose is produced randomly. B．Knowledge in a single field is applied. C．The bacteria behave purposefully under guidance. D．Cellulose sheets hardly benefit different applications. Dutch startup Nuwa claims to have invented the “world’s most advanced pen” that digitizes (数字化) notes written by hand. The Groningen-based company announced a fresh cash injection of €1.5 million to promote the development of the product, which uses an inbuilt camera system, motion sensors, and artificial intelligence to capture text written on paper. “Just write, and Nuwa Pen digitizes,” Marc Tuinier, Nuwa’s CEO, told us. All the notes are then stored on the startup’s app. They can then be organized, shared, and integrated with other apps. A particularly fascinating feature is intelligent notes, which scans and identifies rich text items such as dates, to-dos, and phone numbers from the notes. Users can then link the data with, for instance, their calendar, to-do app, or phone book. The feature is integrated with over 50 apps. Nuwa compares it to a personal assistant that puts you on top of your schedule. Nuwa is targeting the product at people who still enjoy writing with a pen and notebook. While many smart pens only work on screens or digital writing systems, Nuwa promises adaptability with every type of paper. The product also uses regular ink refills. “Other smart pen brands rely on special dotted paper to recognize what the user is writing, so you’ll also be stuck buying their paper,” Tuinier said. “Nuwa Pen can be used on any paper.” The Nuwa system is built around tiny design. The device weighs just 28 grams — about as much as a single AA battery — but provides enough power for two hours of continuous writing. Three tiny cameras are used to digitize the text with 2 mm×2 mm sensors. All the data is then processed directly on the device. “Capturing handwriting from these sensors in the pen itself, while a pen is constantly moving, is an extremely difficult task to get right — and we’ve done it,” Tuinier said. By combining the trusty old ballpoint pen with the digital world, Nuwa hopes that it can solve one of those needs. The device is now available for pre-order. 1．What is the primary function of the Nuwa Pen? A．Integrating pens with other apps. B．Organizing handwritten notes digitally. C．Combining all apps into a single platform. D．Providing a solution for personal schedules. 2．Who is the Nuwa Pen’s main target buyer? A．People who prefer typing over handwriting. B．People who show interest in smart ink refills. C．People who have an extra budget for paper purchase. D．People who appreciate traditional pen and paper writing. 3．Why does the author list a series of numbers in the last paragraph? A．To show how portable the device is. B．To explain the structure of the cameras. C．To demonstrate the device’s operating time. D．To describe the materials used in the device. 4．What is the author’s attitude towards the Nuwa Pen? A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Neutral. D．Enthusiastic. Recently, a research group from Linköping University in Sweden made big news. 1 They introduced a supercool flexible battery in the magazine Science Advances. What’s so special about it? This new battery turns traditional solid-state electrodes into something that looks just like toothpaste! 2 Ayman Rahmanian, one of the main researchers, said this soft battery is a game-changer. 3 Rigid batteries often limit how we design electronic devices, especially wearable ones. Think about smartwatches or fitness trackers — we want them to be small and bendy, but old-style batteries are too big and stiff. 4 It works well even if it’s stretched to twice its length and after more than 500 charge-discharge cycles Another cool thing is that we can 3D-print it into different shapes. 5 For example, future smart clothes could use this battery to monitor our heart rate or body temperature. Skin-displays might show messages right on our arms! This amazing invention will surely change the future of flexible electronics. It’s exciting to think about all the new gadgets we might see soon. A．This innovation marks a major breakthrough in energy storage technology. B．The battery maintains stable performance even when stretched repeatedly. C．3D printing enables custom shapes for various electronic applications. D．Its flexible design allows seamless integration into wearable devices. E．Researchers achieved this by rethinking traditional battery materials. F．Such flexibility could transform how we use everyday electronics. G．Unlike rigid batteries, it adapts perfectly to moving surfaces. 三、完形填空 Tim Wilson, an 18-year-old student at Barker College in Sydney, Australia, designed a soft robot that gives reassuring (使安心的) hugs.

Over the line, Kampo’s voice 1 as he described his nation’s twin plagues (困境): a mass of plastic waste blocking sewers (下水道) and a 2 of schools, with a few existing ones needing 3 rebuilding. To have a clearer 4 , Issac decided to see for himself. In Cote d’Ivoire’s busiest city, Issac was 5 by the sight of women carrying children on their backs while 6 plastic from garbage piles for very little money. Those images 7 into his mind. “I need to find a way to help,” Issac thought. “What if you could use the plastic waste to help solve construction problems?” For Issac, the 8 led to an invention that shows his value. Back at his company, he and his team 9 plastic into a set of building parts — bricks and columns, 95% made from plastic. These parts fit together like Lego. Builders just need to 10 a roof and windows to make a classroom. Now, 4,000 tons of waste have become 550 11 classrooms, almost for 60 percent of what 12 construction methods cost. To 13 the brick-making technology further, Issac 14 his system to be easily transported in a 40-foot container.

Wilson sat focused at his workstation. With steady hands, he carefully connected the final wire of the robotic arm with the remoter and uploaded his code. With the remoter, Wilson tried to control the robotic arm beside his desk. Finally, the arm came to life, smoothly picking up a small ball as planned. At the sight of it, Wilson exchanged a high-five with his classmate Peter, who made a successful attempt as well. Around them, students were rewriting the code, adjusting their robotic arms, testing their functions and celebrating their progress. Mr. Hurd wandered between the desks, offering tips and encouragement. When he reached Wilson and Peter, he nodded with a satisfied smile. “Impressive,” he said. Wilson and Peter’s faces lit up at the praise. Seeing their proud smiles, Mr. Hurd nodded approvingly and said, “You’ve done a remarkable job with your robotic arms, but what can this arm help in real life?” After school, lost in Mr. Hurd’s question, Wilson unconsciously took a different route home, one he hadn’t adopted for years. As he approached the lake, he froze in disbelief, shocked by what he saw. The once-clear water was now dark and polluted, with bottles and other rubbish piling up along the bank. He couldn’t believe his eyes. The lake used to shine like silver under the morning sun, and butterflies danced above flowers while families laid out picnic blankets on the grassy banks. Wilson remembered those mornings clearly, especially the one when his grandfather said, “This lake raised us. One day, it’ll be your turn to take care of it.” Sitting on a rock by the shore, Wilson stared at the rubbish in front of him. “How did something so beautiful end up like this? What could I do to help it?” he thought. Then, suddenly, an idea hit him. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 The next morning, Wilson told Peter his thoughts. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a month, they tested their new design near the lake. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
