Since childhood, Sheppard have always been a keen dancer. But now she rarely left her Bronx apartment. She was afraid that, unable to see a stranger approaching, she would be knocked down on the streets. In fact, mostly, she worried about the way she would appear to the world. She wondered constantly, “What if people look at me differently, and treat me differently?” After several months of sadness and fear, Sheppard decided to keep moving. Hard as it was, Sheppard forced herself to go out. She attended a social event for people with visual problems, and was shocked to find that not only did no one dance, but they barely moved. “Oh, no!” she told herself. “That is not the way I want to live!” She bought a walking stick and named it Tyreek, which she had always planned on giving a son if she had one. Sheppard continued to work at her library job at The New York Times until her vision worsened in her 50s. And she kept moving and dancing. Sheppard was 61 when she attended a summer camp for the blind in 2008 where she taught her first line dancing class. After that, she asked a Manhattan community center run by Visions if she could teach her class there, but she was told no and that it would be too dangerous for the students. Still, she persisted, and soon convinced the administrators to let her teach line dancing on a volunteer basis. Her classes proved to be so popular that in 2012, Visions hired her as one of their staff. Sheppard was excited. She was teaching over a dozen students dance steps. But Sheppard instructed her beloved students on far more than that. With constant encouragement, she also managed to make dignity (尊严) and independence take root in them. In her classes, the students could truly be themselves. 4. What was Sheppard most anxious about when she began to lose her sight? A. The loss of her library job. B. The inability to dance anymore. C. The risk of being knocked down on streets. D. The image she would project to others. 5. How did Sheppard feel about her walking stick? A. She was often greatly embarrassed by it. B. She regarded it as a temporary necessity. C. She treated it simply as an ordinary tool. D. She considered it special and meaningful. 6. What does the underlined word “persisted” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Gave up easily. B. Waited patiently. C. Continued trying. D. Felt disappointed 7. Which of the following can best describe Sheppard? A. Shy and quiet. B. Determined and brave. C. Humorous and patient. D. Intelligent and creative. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了失明后仍坚持跳舞的Marion Sheppard，克服困难教授视力障碍者排舞，并传递尊严与独立的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In fact, mostly, she worried about the way she would appear to the world. She wondered constantly, “What if people look at me differently, and treat me differently?”(事实上，她更多是在意自己在他人眼中的样子，总在想：“如果人们用异样的眼光看我、用不同的方式对待我怎么办？”)”可知，Sheppard失明初期最担心的是自己在他人眼中的形象，害怕人们用异样的眼光看待她、以不同方式对待她。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“She bought a walking stick and named it Tyreek, which she had always planned on giving a son if she had one.(她买了一根手杖，给它取名为Tyreek——这是她一直计划着，如果有儿子就会用的名字。)”可知，Sheppard给手杖取名为Tyreek，而这个名字是她一直计划给未来儿子取的名字，说明她将手杖视为特殊且有意义的存在。故选D。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“After that, she asked a Manhattan community center run by Visions if she could teach her class there, but she was told no and that it would be too dangerous for the students. Still, she persisted, and soon convinced the administrators to let her teach line dancing on a volunteer basis.(之后，她向Visions组织运营的曼哈顿社区中心申请授课，却遭到拒绝，对方称这对学生来说太危险了。但她……，很快说服了管理人员让她以志愿者的身份教授排舞。)”可知，Sheppard向社区中心申请授课时遭到拒绝，但她并未放弃，最终说服管理人员同意她以志愿者身份授课，因此“persisted 应表示“持续尝试、坚持不懈”的含义。选项C“Continued trying.(继续尝试)”符合“被拒绝后仍不放弃，最终达成目标”的语境。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“After several months of sadness and fear, Sheppard decided to keep moving. Hard as it was, Sheppard forced herself to go out.(在几个月的悲伤与恐惧后，Sheppard决定不再停滞不前。尽管过程艰难，她还是强迫自己走出家门。)”可知，Sheppard失明后未被悲伤和恐惧击垮，反而强迫自己走出家门，体现了她的勇敢；再根据第三段“And she kept moving and dancing.(她一直在移动和跳舞。)”以及第四段“After that, she asked a Manhattan community center run by Visions if she could teach her class there, but she was told no and that it would be too dangerous for the students. Still, she persisted, and soon convinced the administrators to let her teach line dancing on a volunteer basis.(之后，她向Visions组织运营的曼哈顿社区中心申请授课，却遭到拒绝，对方称这对学生来说太危险了。但她……，很快说服了管理人员让她以志愿者的身份教授排舞。)”可知，Sheppard申请授课遭拒后仍不放弃，最终说服管理人员，体现了她的坚定。故选B。 C What can the world’s most walkable cities teach other places? Researchers at the Sony Computer Science Laboratories in Rome have shown how more urban areas could become “15-minute cities”, where residents can access key facilities like schools, hospitals, and shops within a 15-minute walk. Their study, published in Nature Cities, analyzed the walkability of over 10,000 cities globally. European cities dominated (主导) the rankings, with 45 of the top 50 spots. Milan topped the list, with an average walking time of just seven minutes to key facilities and 98% of its population living in 15-minute neighborhoods. Asian cities like Kyoto and Taipei also performed well. In contrast, North American cities, often designed around cars, were largely absent from the top 50. Vancouver ranked highest in the region at 53rd, while Manhattan was highly walkable but dragged down by other New York City districts. The researchers also explored how urban planning could improve walkability. For example, Paris, which already has an average walking time of eight minutes to key facilities, could reduce this further with strategic relocation of services. By moving some facilities, Paris could cut the average walking time by two minutes and increase the population living in 15-minute neighborhoods to 97%. Similar analyses were conducted for 53 cities, showing that 34 were already 15-minute cities, while another ten had the potential to become so. In Rio de Janeiro, moving services inland could reduce average walking time from 25 to 15 minutes. Melbourne could increase its 15-minute neighborhood population from 50% to 90% with better facility distribution (分布). However, cities like Atlanta, which have a lot of suburban (郊区) areas, may never be as easy to walk around in as crowded cities like Berlin unless they add many more facilities. Yet, even small improvements can have benefits. Research shows that more walkable cities have healthier residents, cleaner air, and stronger local businesses. 8. Which city has the shortest average walking time to key facilities according to the text? A. Milan. B. Paris. C. Kyoto. D. Vancouver. 9. What can we infer about North American cities? A. They have less green space. B. They have fewer key facilities. C. They are famous for urban planning. D. They are mainly structured for cars. 10. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To explain the concept of “15-minute cities”. B. To suggest ways to improve urban walkability. C. To compare the city sizes around the world. D. To criticize the urban planning of North American cities. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards making cities more walkable? A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Worried. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了15分钟城市的概念，全球城市步行便利性的排名情况、城市规划对提升步行可达性的作用及相关益处。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Milan topped the list, with an average walking time of just seven minutes to key facilities and 98% of its population living in 15-minute neighborhoods.(米兰位居榜首，居民抵达核心设施的平均步行时间仅7分钟，98%的人口生活在15分钟生活圈范围内)”可知，米兰抵达核心设施的平均步行时间仅7分钟，位居榜首，是所列城市中步行时间最短的。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In contrast, North American cities, often designed around cars, were largely absent from the top 50.(相比之下，北美城市因多以汽车出行设计核心，在前50名中基本缺席)”可知，北美城市通常以汽车出行为设计核心，因此在前50名适宜步行城市排名中基本缺席。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，全文围绕15分钟城市展开，先介绍其概念及全球城市步行便利性研究背景，再呈现不同地区城市的排名表现，通过具体案例（巴黎、里约热内卢等）探讨城市规划如何提升步行可达性，最终强调步行友好型城市的益处。由此推知，本文的主要目的是提出改善城市步行性的方法。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Yet, even small improvements can have benefits. Research shows that more walkable cities have healthier residents, cleaner air, and stronger local businesses.(不过，即便小小的改进也能带来诸多益处。研究表明，步行便利性更高的城市，居民健康状况更佳、空气质量更优，当地商业也更具活力)”可知，作者明确指出提升城市步行便利性即使是微小改进也能带来益处，并列举了居民健康、空气质量、当地商业活力等积极影响。由此推知，作者对让城市更适宜步行持支持的态度。故选C。 D Unlike traditional stiff (僵硬的) robots, soft robotics are built from flexible materials that copy the natural movements of living creatures. This design enables them to move through narrow spaces like disaster ruins or complex paths inside the human body. However, adding sensors has been difficult. “The key was making them smart, explains researcher Larry Cheng from Penn State University.” We needed robots that sense and act independently. The solution lies in electronic parts designed to bend. Traditional hard electronics limit robot movement, but Cheng’s team used bendable electronics spread across the body. They added magnetic (磁) materials inside. By adjusting magnetic fields, robots crawl, roll and twist wirelessly and battery-free. Developing this technology faced two main problems. First, even bendable electronics are much stiffer than the robot’s soft material. “We arranged electronics like puzzle pieces to fit flexibly,” Cheng explained. Second, magnetic fields used for control can disturb electronic signals. The team redesigned circuits (电路) to prevent this interference, keeping sensors accurate near strong magnets. These improvements allow robots to work with less human guidance. In rescue missions, they could find trapped people by detecting body heat. Medical versions might sense chemical changes to deliver drugs exactly where needed. Researchers are developing a pill-sized robot that patients could take in. “It could examine the digestive system, collect samples, or treat diseases without surgery,” said Korean scientist Suk-Won Hwang, Cheng’s partner. Future plans include creating tiny robots for blood pipe treatments. “When put into blood pipes, they could repair heart problems or target cancer cells, Cheng described. Though unnamed yet, these robots might get public-suggested names.” That’s a fun idea, “Cheng laughed when asked about naming possibilities. 12. What makes soft robotics different from traditional robots? A. Their ability to work without human guidance. B. Their capability to move through narrow spaces. C. Their addition of sensors for independent action. D. Their use of flexible materials to copy natural movements. 13. Why did Cheng’s team redesign the circuits? A. To make the robot look attractive. B. To reduce the robot’s weight. C. To stop magnetic fields ruining signals. D. To increase magnetic attraction. 14. How did Cheng feel about letting the public name the robots? A. Lightly amused. B. Deeply moved. C. Slightly doubtful. D. Completely uninterested. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Soft Robotics: The Magic of New Materials B. Soft Robotics: From Challenges to Bright Future C. Soft Robotics: A New Type of Traditional Robots D. Soft Robotics: Applications in Rescue and Medicine 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了柔性机器人的特点、核心技术突破、研发难题及在救援、医疗等领域的应用与未来展望。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Unlike traditional stiff (僵硬的) robots, soft robotics are built from flexible materials that copy the natural movements of living creatures.(与传统僵硬的机器人不同，柔性机器人由可弯曲材料制成，能够模仿生物的自然动作。)”可知，柔性机器人与传统机器人的核心区别在于其使用可弯曲材料来模仿生物的自然动作。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Second, magnetic fields used for control can disturb electronic signals. The team redesigned circuits (电路) to prevent this interference, keeping sensors accurate near strong magnets.(其次，用于控制磁场可能会干扰电子信号。该团队重新设计了电路以防止这种干扰，确保传感器在强磁场附近仍能保持精准。)”可知，程的团队重新设计电路是为了防止用于控制机器人的磁场干扰电子信号，确保传感器在强磁场附近仍能保持精准。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Though unnamed yet, these robots might get public-suggested names.” That’s a fun idea, “Cheng laughed when asked about naming possibilities.(尽管这些机器人尚未命名，但可能会采用公众建议的名称。当被问及命名的可能性时，程笑着说：“这是个有趣的想法。”)”可推测，当被问及让公众为机器人命名的可能性时，程笑着表示这是个有趣的想法，体现出他略带愉悦的态度。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“These improvements allow robots to work with less human guidance. In rescue missions, they could find trapped people by detecting body heat. Medical versions might sense chemical changes to deliver drugs exactly where needed. Researchers are developing a pill-sized robot that patients could take in.(这些改进使机器人能够在更少人类干预的情况下工作。在救援任务中，它们可以通过检测人体热量找到被困人员；医疗领域的柔性机器人或许能感知化学变化，将药物精准递送至所需部位。研究人员正在研发一种药片大小的机器人，患者可直接服用。)”以及全文内容可知，全文围绕柔性机器人展开，先介绍其与传统机器人的区别，再阐述研发过程中面临的技术难题及解决方案，最后说明其在救援、医疗领域的应用及未来发展计划。选项B“Soft Robotics: From Challenges to Bright Future(柔性机器人：从挑战到光明未来)”既涵盖了研发过程中的技术难题，又包含了应用成果与未来规划，完整贯穿文章逻辑主线。故选B。 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。 Learning new skills keeps your mind sharp, your confidence high, and your career on an upward trajectory (轨道).

The room was small yet well-lit, furnished with two single beds, two study tables, and a small wardrobe (衣橱). His roommate was already settled in, unpacking a suitcase filled with sports devices and a pile of comic books. “Hey, there! I’m Jack,” he greeted with an enthusiastic smile, putting out his hand. Tom returned the smile, a bit hesitantly, “I’m Tom.” Initially, things seemed to be off to a good start. They talked about their middle schools, their favorite music, and their goals for college. But before long, Tom began to notice some differences. Jack was a night owl, often staying up until midnight. Tom, on the other hand, was an early-to-bed person and would get annoyed by the late-night noise. Jack also had a tendency to leave his dirty socks scattered (乱扔) around the room, with some on Tom’s bed, some under the table, and some near the door. One afternoon, Tom returned to the dorm to find his brand-new headphones gone. He searched high and low but couldn’t locate them. “Have you seen my headphones, Jack?” he asked, trying to keep his tone even. “Oh, right,” Jack replied, “I borrowed them to listen to some music during my break. Is that cool?” Tom felt his face turn red with anger. “No, it’s not cool,” he shouted. “You should ask me before using my things.” Jack looked embarrassed. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you mad,” he said apologetically. After that incident, the atmosphere in the room turned icy. They hardly spoke to each other, and when they did, their words were filled with coldness. Jack felt lonely and missed his old classmates. One night, as Tom lay in bed, he heard Jack crying softly. “Should I be more understanding and have a heart-to-heart talk with him?” Tom hesitated for a while and thought to himself. 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。 The next day, Tom decided to apologize and make it up. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day forward, the relationship between Tom and Jack took a positive turn. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next day, Tom decided to apologize and make it up. He took a deep breath and approached Jack, who was flipping through a comic book. “Hey, Jack,” Tom began, “I overreacted yesterday. I should have been clearer about my boundaries instead of yelling.” Jack looked up, surprised. “No, I was wrong too,” he admitted. “I should have asked before borrowing your stuff.” They talked openly about their habits — Tom’s need for quiet nights and Jack’s messiness. Jack promised to use headphones after 10 p.m., and Tom agreed to remind him gently if socks piled up again. From that day forward, the relationship between Tom and Jack took a positive turn. They created a shared chore chart and even bonded over weekend hikes. One evening, Tom helped Jack sketch a comic, while Jack taught Tom basketball tricks. Their differences became strengths — Jack’s spontaneity balanced Tom’s routine, and Tom’s tidiness kept their space cozy. By semester’s end, their dorm was filled with laughter, and their initial clash felt like a distant memory. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Tom和Jack是高中室友，起初相处融洽，但因生活习惯差异产生矛盾。当Jack未经允许使用Tom的新耳机后，两人关系恶化。某夜Tom听到Jack哭泣，开始反思是否该主动沟通。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，Tom决定道歉并弥补。”可知，第一段可描写Tom主动打破僵局的具体行动、真诚道歉以及Jack的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那天起，Tom和Jack的关系开始好转。”可知，第二段可描写他们日常相处的积极变化、共同兴趣的发现并从室友发展为朋友的关键事件。 2.续写线索：打破僵局——道歉理解——Jack的理解——关系好转——发展——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.走近：approach/step close to ②.承诺做某事：promise to do/undertake to do ③.帮助：help/assist 情绪类 ①.惊讶的： surprised/astonished ②.舒适的：cozy/comfortable 【点睛】【高分句型1】He took a deep breath and approached Jack, who was flipping through a comic book.(运用了关系词who引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】One evening, Tom helped Jack sketch a comic, while Jack taught Tom basketball tricks.(运用了并列连词while连接并列句，表示对比) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年第一学期高二期中联考 英语试题 本试题卷共8页。全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接写在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 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.

Since childhood Sheppard have always been a keen dancer. But now she rarely left her Bronx apartment. She was afraid that, unable to see a stranger approaching, she would be knocked down on the streets. In fact, mostly, she worried about the way she would appear to the world. She wondered constantly, “What if people look at me differently, and treat me differently?” After several months of sadness and fear, Sheppard decided to keep moving. Hard as it was, Sheppard forced herself to go out. She attended a social event for people with visual problems, and was shocked to find that not only did no one dance, but they barely moved. “Oh, no!” she told herself. “That is not the way I want to live!” She bought a walking stick and named it Tyreek, which she had always planned on giving a son if she had one. Sheppard continued to work at her library job at The New York Times until her vision worsened in her 50s. And she kept moving and dancing. Sheppard was 61 when she attended a summer camp for the blind in 2008, where she taught her first line dancing class. After that, she asked a Manhattan community center run by Visions if she could teach her class there, but she was told no and that it would be too dangerous for the students. Still, she persisted, and soon convinced the administrators to let her teach line dancing on a volunteer basis. Her classes proved to be so popular that in 2012, Visions hired her as one of their staff. Sheppard was excited. She was teaching over a dozen students dance steps. But Sheppard instructed her beloved students on far more than that. With constant encouragement, she also managed to make dignity (尊严) and independence take root in them. In her classes, the students could truly be themselves. 4. What was Sheppard most anxious about when she began to lose her sight? A. The loss of her library job. B. The inability to dance anymore. C. The risk of being knocked down on streets. D. The image she would project to others. 5. How did Sheppard feel about her walking stick? A. She was often greatly embarrassed by it. B. She regarded it as a temporary necessity. C. She treated it simply as an ordinary tool. D. She considered it special and meaningful. 6. What does the underlined word “persisted” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Gave up easily. B. Waited patiently. C. Continued trying. D. Felt disappointed 7. Which of the following can best describe Sheppard? A. Shy and quiet. B. Determined and brave. C. Humorous and patient. D. Intelligent and creative. C What can the world’s most walkable cities teach other places? Researchers at the Sony Computer Science Laboratories in Rome have shown how more urban areas could become “15-minute cities”, where residents can access key facilities like schools, hospitals, and shops within a 15-minute walk. Their study, published in Nature Cities, analyzed the walkability of over 10,000 cities globally. European cities dominated (主导) the rankings, with 45 of the top 50 spots. Milan topped the list, with an average walking time of just seven minutes to key facilities and 98% of its population living in 15-minute neighborhoods. Asian cities like Kyoto and Taipei also performed well. In contrast, North American cities, often designed around cars, were largely absent from the top 50. Vancouver ranked highest in the region at 53rd, while Manhattan was highly walkable but dragged down by other New York City districts. The researchers also explored how urban planning could improve walkability. For example, Paris, which already has an average walking time of eight minutes to key facilities, could reduce this further with strategic relocation of services. By moving some facilities, Paris could cut the average walking time by two minutes and increase the population living in 15-minute neighborhoods to 97%. Similar analyses were conducted for 53 cities, showing that 34 were already 15-minute cities, while another ten had the potential to become so. In Rio de Janeiro, moving services inland could reduce average walking time from 25 to 15 minutes. Melbourne could increase its 15-minute neighborhood population from 50% to 90% with better facility distribution (分布). However, cities like Atlanta, which have a lot of suburban (郊区) areas, may never be as easy to walk around in as crowded cities like Berlin unless they add many more facilities. Yet, even small improvements can have benefits. Research shows that more walkable cities have healthier residents, cleaner air, and stronger local businesses. 8. Which city has the shortest average walking time to key facilities according to the text? A. Milan. B. Paris. C. Kyoto. D. Vancouver. 9. What can we infer about North American cities? A. They have less green space. B. They have fewer key facilities. C They are famous for urban planning. D. They are mainly structured for cars. 10. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To explain the concept of “15-minute cities”. B. To suggest ways to improve urban walkability. C. To compare the city sizes around the world. D. To criticize the urban planning of North American cities. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards making cities more walkable? A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Worried. D Unlike traditional stiff (僵硬的) robots, soft robotics are built from flexible materials that copy the natural movements of living creatures. This design enables them to move through narrow spaces like disaster ruins or complex paths inside the human body. However, adding sensors has been difficult. “The key was making them smart, explains researcher Larry Cheng from Penn State University.” We needed robots that sense and act independently. The solution lies in electronic parts designed to bend. Traditional hard electronics limit robot movement, but Cheng’s team used bendable electronics spread across the body. They added magnetic (磁) materials inside. By adjusting magnetic fields, robots crawl, roll and twist wirelessly and battery-free. Developing this technology faced two main problems. First, even bendable electronics are much stiffer than the robot’s soft material. “We arranged electronics like puzzle pieces to fit flexibly,” Cheng explained. Second, magnetic fields used for control can disturb electronic signals. The team redesigned circuits (电路) to prevent this interference, keeping sensors accurate near strong magnets. These improvements allow robots to work with less human guidance. In rescue missions, they could find trapped people by detecting body heat. Medical versions might sense chemical changes to deliver drugs exactly where needed. Researchers are developing a pill-sized robot that patients could take in. “It could examine the digestive system, collect samples, or treat diseases without surgery,” said Korean scientist Suk-Won Hwang, Cheng’s partner. Future plans include creating tiny robots for blood pipe treatments. “When put into blood pipes, they could repair heart problems or target cancer cells, Cheng described. Though unnamed yet, these robots might get public-suggested names.” That’s a fun idea, “Cheng laughed when asked about naming possibilities. 12. What makes soft robotics different from traditional robots? A. Their ability to work without human guidance. B. Their capability to move through narrow spaces. C. Their addition of sensors for independent action. D. Their use of flexible materials to copy natural movements. 13. Why did Cheng’s team redesign the circuits? A. To make the robot look attractive.

The room was small yet well-lit, furnished with two single beds, two study tables, and a small wardrobe (衣橱). His roommate was already settled in, unpacking a suitcase filled with sports devices and a pile of comic books. “Hey, there! I’m Jack,” he greeted with an enthusiastic smile, putting out his hand. Tom returned the smile, a bit hesitantly, “I’m Tom.” Initially, things seemed to be off to a good start. They talked about their middle schools, their favorite music, and their goals for college. But before long, Tom began to notice some differences. Jack was a night owl, often staying up until midnight. Tom, on the other hand, was an early-to-bed person and would get annoyed by the late-night noise. Jack also had a tendency to leave his dirty socks scattered (乱扔) around the room, with some on Tom’s bed, some under the table, and some near the door. One afternoon, Tom returned to the dorm to find his brand-new headphones gone. He searched high and low but couldn’t locate them. “Have you seen my headphones, Jack?” he asked, trying to keep his tone even. “Oh, right,” Jack replied, “I borrowed them to listen to some music during my break. Is that cool?” Tom felt his face turn red with anger. “No, it’s not cool,” he shouted. “You should ask me before using my things.” Jack looked embarrassed. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you mad,” he said apologetically. After that incident, the atmosphere in the room turned icy. They hardly spoke to each other, and when they did, their words were filled with coldness. Jack felt lonely and missed his old classmates. One night, as Tom lay in bed, he heard Jack crying softly. “Should I be more understanding and have a heart-to-heart talk with him?” Tom hesitated for a while and thought to himself. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 The next day, Tom decided to apologize and make it up. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day forward, the relationship between Tom and Jack took a positive turn. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
