However, these systems often face challenges in visual recognition across various environments — such as bright sunlight, low light, or when objects mix into complex surroundings. Remarkably, nature might already hold the answer to this problem. Cats are known for their excellent vision in both bright and dark settings. Their eyes are uniquely adapted for different lighting conditions: their pupils adjust to reduce brightness during the day, while at night, these pupils widen to allow more light in. Additionally, a reflective layer behind their retinas (视网膜), known as the tapetum lucidum, improves their night vision. Inspired by the impressive abilities of cat vision, a team of researchers led by Professor Young Min Song at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) has developed a new vision system using advanced lenses (透镜) and sensors modeled after cats’ eyes. This system includes a slit-shaped aperture (狭缝状光圈) that, like a cat’s daily pupil, blocks extra light and sharpens focus on essential objects. It also has a reflective layer similar to the tapetum lucidum, enhancing visibility in low-light conditions. Published in Science Advances, this research marks a significant step forward in artificial vision, showing improved object detection and recognition abilities. “Traditional robotic cameras struggle to identify objects in busy backgrounds, especially under changing light conditions,” Prof. Song explains. “Our design enables robots to ignore unimportant details, concentrating only on key objects.” Additionally, the system is energy-efficient, as it relies more on lens design than on heavy computer processing. This innovative technology opens up exciting potential for real-world applications, potentially transforming robotic vision. With this advanced system, security robots and self-driving vehicles can move through complex environments and perform precise tasks with greater accuracy. “From search-and-rescue missions to industrial monitoring, these advanced robotic eyes can assist or even replace human efforts in critical situations,” Prof. Song highlights. 7. How do cats’ eyes adapt to different lighting conditions? A. By adjusting pupils and reflecting light. B. By narrowing pupils and letting in light. C. By using tapetum lucidum in bright light. D. By focusing tapetum lucidum on familiar light. 8. What is the purpose of the GIST research? A. To create an advanced lens for eyes. B. To improve the focus capability of cats. C. To develop a reflective layer for dark situations. D. To improve the performance of artificial vision. 9. What is a feature of the new design according to paragraph 4? A. It operates without consuming energy. B. It requires extensive computer processing. C. It prioritizes key objects in complex backgrounds. D. It enhances the detection ability in dark conditions. 10. Where can the design be applied according to Prof. Song? A. Improved household care. B. Precise classroom monitoring. C. Enhanced sightseeing experiences. D. Accurate emergency response actions. 【答案】7. A 8. D 9. C 10. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个研究团队开发的新型视觉系统，灵感来自猫眼。该系统通过模仿猫的瞳孔结构，改善机器人在曝光及低光环境中的视觉表现。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Their eyes are uniquely adapted for different lighting conditions: their pupils adjust to reduce brightness during the day, while at night, these pupils widen to allow more light in. Additionally, a reflective layer behind their retinas (视网膜), known as the tapetum lucidum, improves their night vision.(它们的眼睛根据不同的光照条件进行独特的调节：它们的瞳孔在白天会调节以降低亮度，而在晚上，这些瞳孔会变宽以允许更多的光线进入。此外，它们的视网膜后面有一个反光层，被称为照膜，可以改善他们的夜视能力)”可知，猫眼通过调节瞳孔和反光层来适应不同的光照情况。故选A。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Inspired by the impressive abilities of cat vision, a team of researchers led by Professor Young Min Song at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) has developed a new vision system using advanced lenses (透镜) and sensors modeled after cats’ eyes. This system includes a slit-shaped aperture (狭缝状光圈) that, like a cat’s daily pupil, blocks extra light and sharpens focus on essential objects. It also has a reflective layer similar to the tapetum lucidum, enhancing visibility in low-light conditions.(受猫视觉令人印象深刻的能力的启发，光州科学技术院（GIST）的Young Min Song教授领导的一个研究小组开发了一种新的视觉系统，该系统使用先进的透镜和模仿猫眼睛的传感器。该系统包括一个狭缝状光圈，就像猫的日常瞳孔一样，可以阻挡额外的光线，并使焦点聚焦在基本物体上。它还有一个类似于照膜的反光层，可以在低光照条件下提高能见度)”和第四段“Published in Science Advances, this research marks a significant step forward in artificial vision, showing improved object detection and recognition abilities. “Traditional robotic cameras struggle to identify objects in busy backgrounds, especially under changing light conditions,” Prof. Song explains. “Our design enables robots to ignore unimportant details, concentrating only on key objects.” Additionally, the system is energy-efficient, as it relies more on lens design than on heavy computer processing.(这项研究发表在《科学进展》上，标志着人工视觉向前迈出了重要一步，显示出了改进的物体检测和识别能力。“传统的机器人相机很难在繁忙的背景中识别物体，尤其是在不断变化的光线条件下。”Song教授解释说。“我们的设计使机器人能够忽略不重要的细节，只专注于关键物体。”此外，该系统是节能的，因为它更依赖于镜头设计而不是繁重的计算机处理)”可知，第三段明确指出，研究团队模仿猫眼结构开发了新型视觉系统，可以提升人工视觉的性能，第四段进一步强调该研究是人工视觉领域的重要突破。由此推知，该研究团队的目的是提升人工视觉的性能。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的““Traditional robotic cameras struggle to identify objects in busy backgrounds, especially under changing light conditions,” Prof. Song explains. “Our design enables robots to ignore unimportant details, concentrating only on key objects.” Additionally, the system is energy-efficient, as it relies more on lens design than on heavy computer processing.(“传统的机器人相机很难在繁忙的背景中识别物体，尤其是在不断变化的光线条件下。”Song教授解释说。“我们的设计使机器人能够忽略不重要的细节，只专注于关键物体。”此外，该系统是节能的，因为它更依赖于镜头设计而不是繁重的计算机处理)”可知，新的视觉系统能忽略不重要的细节，专注于关键物体，也就是说在复杂背景中识别关键物体。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的““From search-and-rescue missions to industrial monitoring, these advanced robotic eyes can assist or even replace human efforts in critical situations,” Prof. Song highlights.(Song教授强调：“从搜救任务到工业监控，这些先进的机器人眼睛可以在关键情况下协助甚至取代人类的工作。”)”可知，Song教授认为这种新的视觉系统可以应用于搜救任务、工业监控等关键情况。故选D。 D It is not always easy to understand animal behavior, especially when it’s related to other species. For decades, researchers have observed orcas (虎鲸) attacking and even killing porpoises (鼠海豚) in the Pacific Northwest. But it confuses people that these expert hunters don’t eat them. So what’s going on here? Southern Resident orcas are a different population of orcas that live in the Pacific Northwest. The lives of these orcas are closely tied to those of the salmon. So if the salmon disappear, so too will the orca. But despite their preference for the salmon, these whales are known to attack and kill other smaller marine mammals (海洋哺乳 动物) without eating them. To better understand this unusual behavior, an international team of researchers did a research and examined more than 60 years of recorded interactions between Southern Resident orcas and porpoises in the Salish Sea. “Why don’t the Southern Residents just eat porpoises instead?” Deborah Giles of Wild Orca said. “It’s because fish-eating killer whales have a completely different ecology and culture from orcas that eat marine mammals. So we must conclude that their interactions with porpoises serve a different purpose, but this purpose has only been a guess until now. ” According to Giles and her colleagues’ work, the orca may be attacking the porpoise as a form of social play. It is possible these large animals may be attacking the smaller mammals as a way to build up social cohesion (凝聚力). Similarly, the behavior could represent hunting practice, by which the orcas are practising their teamwork and cooperation skills for hunting salmons. Finally, the behavior could be a way of “mismothering” where the orca see the smaller porpoises as weaker or ill and so in need of care. This work highlights the need for the protection of salmon populations in the area as well as the orcas’ entire hunting range. The threat to the salmon’s future is not just a threat to a single species, but an entire ecosystem. 11. Why did an international team of researchers do their study? A. To find out a way to protect porpoises. B. To make sure the reason why some orcas attack salmon. C. To solve the problem of marine mammals’ living environment. D. To better understand the strange behavior of Southern Resident orcas. 12. What is Southern Resident orcas’ favorite food? A. the porpoise. B. the marine mammal. C. the salmon. D. the whale. 13. According to Giles’ research, which may be a reason for the orcas’ attacking porpoises? A. It’s a kind of social play with porpoises. B. It is a practice to kill porpoises as their food. C. The orcas may dislike the smaller porpoises. D. It’s a way for the orcas to practice their hunting skills. 14. What probably is the writer’s attitude to the research? A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Uncertain. 【答案】11. D 12. C 13. D 14. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于逆戟鲸攻击甚至杀死太平洋西北部的鼠海豚的现象的研究，以及对这一现象背后的原因进行了说明。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“For decades, researchers have observed orca (虎鲸) attacking and even killing porpoises (鼠海豚) in the Pacific Northwest. But it confuses people that these expert hunters don’t eat them. So what’s going on here? (几十年来，研究人员观察到逆戟鲸攻击甚至杀死太平洋西北部的鼠海豚。但让人们困惑的是，这些专业的猎人不吃它们。这是怎么回事？)”以及第三段“To better understand this unusual behavior, an international team of researchers did a research and examined more than 60 years of recorded interactions between Southern Resident orcas and porpoises in the Salish Sea. (为了更好地理解这种不寻常的行为，一个国际研究小组做了一项研究，并检查了60多年来萨利希海南部虎鲸和鼠海豚之间的互动记录。)”可知，这个国际研究小组要进行研究，是为了更好地了解逆戟鲸的奇怪行为。故选D。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But despite their preference for salmon, these whales are known to attack and kill other smaller marine mammals (海洋哺乳动物) without eating them. (尽管它们喜欢吃鲑鱼，但众所周知，这些鲸鱼会攻击并杀死其他较小的海洋哺乳动物，而不吃它们。)”可知，逆戟鲸喜欢吃鲑鱼。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Similarly, the behavior could represent hunting practice, by which the orcas are practising their teamwork and cooperation skills for hunting salmon. (同样，这种行为可以代表狩猎练习，通过这种练习，逆戟鲸正在练习他们的团队合作技能，以捕猎鲑鱼。)”可知，根据吉尔的研究，虎鲸攻击海豚的原因可能是因为这是虎鲸练习狩猎技能的一种方式。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This work highlights the need for the protection of salmon populations in the area as well as the orcas’ entire hunting range. The threat to the salmon’s future is not just a threat to a single species, but an entire ecosystem. (这项工作强调了保护该地区鲑鱼种群以及逆戟鲸整个狩猎范围的必要性。对鲑鱼未来的威胁不仅仅是对单个物种的威胁，而是对整个生态系统的威胁。)”可推知，作者认为这项研究很重要，即持积极态度。故选A。 三、完形填空 One sunny afternoon, I was taking a leisure walking in the park.

He traveled across the world for work and competed in tennis tournaments on the weekends. “Life is good,” he would always say, with a twinkle in his eyes. Everything changed during my second year of high school. A sudden stroke (中风) left my dad with severe physical and neurological deficits. He was unable to move the right side of his body. But the most serious problem, amidst so many others, was his loss of speech. The stroke resulted in a disorder called aphasia, which damages someone’s ability to communicate and understand language. It was like my father was a prisoner in his own body, unable to do and say exactly what he wanted. The aphasia also caused my dad to say things he did not mean. He would sometimes cry in the middle of a funny movie and laugh when something tragic happened. I found myself going through embarrassment whenever we were in public. My father would wave his cane like a weapon and shout incoherent yet harmless phrases at passersby. It upset me. I hated the stares and hushed comments, even though he did not notice. One afternoon, I came home to find my dad watching an old video. It was a video of my father and me playing tennis. What used to be such a simple pleasure was now impossible. We watched in silence until I couldn’t hold my grief any longer. I found myself shaking and crying. At any time, he could have another stroke. There was no promise of tomorrow. I felt overcome by fear, both for my family and for my father. Father’s lips moved while he watched me cry. He clearly wanted to say something, but was powerless. I wondered what he wanted to say to inspire me to face up to the darkness we were going through. I finally found my answer when one day I took my dad to the park, rowing a boat as we did a few times before. “You …and… me!” he managed to say. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Shocked, I wanted to hear more. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “Yes. Life is good.” I whispered back, completing it for him. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Shocked, I wanted to hear more. Seized by eagerness and excitement, I leaned forward, inclining my ear to his lips. I tried to pretend not to be waiting though I knew Dad was struggling for his voice. My dad looked at me with a familiar expression. “Life… good.” The words came in a mumble, but I got them. Maybe because of his bright smile, or a rush of warm air, in that precious moment, I understood exactly what he meant. “Yes. Life is good.” I whispered back, completing it for him. That was what he would always say before his stroke. I couldn’t imagine how tirelessly he had worked to recover what he had lost or to regain a fair amount of his speech. I could comprehend now he had always been trying to inspire me to move forward in the face of the darkest times. I used to love the light for it showed me the way; yet now I appreciate the darkness for it shows me the stars. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。“我”的父亲曾经很优秀，也和“我”度过很多快乐时光。但是有一天，父亲中风导致了得了失语症。从此父亲的很多行为让“我”很尴尬。“我”感觉到可能失去父亲的恐惧。有一天，“我”带着父亲去公园划船，就像我们以前做过的那样，我终于找到了答案。“你……还有……我!”他勉强说。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“震惊了，我想听到更多。”可知，第一段可以描写“我”听到父亲说话后的心理活动，父亲进一步的语言。 ②由第二段句首内容“‘是的。生活是美好的。’我轻声回答，为他完成了这件事。”可知，第二段可以描写“我”说完这句话后，“我”对这句话的感触。 2.续写线索：听到父亲说—震惊—听到更多—补充—回忆—感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：seize/ grasp ②假装：pretend/ feign ③理解：understand/ figure out 情绪类 ①渴望：eagerness/ desire ②兴奋：excitement/ exhilaration 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Seized by eagerness and excitement, I leaned forward, inclining my ear to his lips.

C Autonomous systems, including self-driving cars and robots, are rapidly becoming integral to our daily lives. However, these systems often face challenges in visual recognition across various environments — such as bright sunlight, low light, or when objects mix into complex surroundings. Remarkably, nature might already hold the answer to this problem. Cats are known for their excellent vision in both bright and dark settings. Their eyes are uniquely adapted for different lighting conditions: their pupils adjust to reduce brightness during the day, while at night, these pupils widen to allow more light in. Additionally, a reflective layer behind their retinas (视网膜), known as the tapetum lucidum, improves their night vision. Inspired by the impressive abilities of cat vision, a team of researchers led by Professor Young Min Song at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) has developed a new vision system using advanced lenses (透镜) and sensors modeled after cats’ eyes. This system includes a slit-shaped aperture (狭缝状光圈) that, like a cat’s daily pupil, blocks extra light and sharpens focus on essential objects. It also has a reflective layer similar to the tapetum lucidum, enhancing visibility in low-light conditions. Published in Science Advances, this research marks a significant step forward in artificial vision, showing improved object detection and recognition abilities. “Traditional robotic cameras struggle to identify objects in busy backgrounds, especially under changing light conditions,” Prof. Song explains. “Our design enables robots to ignore unimportant details, concentrating only on key objects.” Additionally, the system is energy-efficient, as it relies more on lens design than on heavy computer processing. This innovative technology opens up exciting potential for real-world applications, potentially transforming robotic vision. With this advanced system, security robots and self-driving vehicles can move through complex environments and perform precise tasks with greater accuracy. “From search-and-rescue missions to industrial monitoring, these advanced robotic eyes can assist or even replace human efforts in critical situations,” Prof. Song highlights. 7. How do cats’ eyes adapt to different lighting conditions? A. By adjusting pupils and reflecting light. B. By narrowing pupils and letting in light. C. By using tapetum lucidum in bright light. D. By focusing tapetum lucidum on familiar light. 8. What is the purpose of the GIST research? A. To create an advanced lens for eyes. B. To improve the focus capability of cats. C. To develop a reflective layer for dark situations. D To improve the performance of artificial vision. 9. What is a feature of the new design according to paragraph 4? A. It operates without consuming energy. B. It requires extensive computer processing. C. It prioritizes key objects in complex backgrounds. D. It enhances the detection ability in dark conditions. 10. Where can the design be applied according to Prof. Song? A. Improved household care. B. Precise classroom monitoring. C. Enhanced sightseeing experiences. D. Accurate emergency response actions. D It is not always easy to understand animal behavior, especially when it’s related to other species. For decades, researchers have observed orcas (虎鲸) attacking and even killing porpoises (鼠海豚) in the Pacific Northwest. But it confuses people that these expert hunters don’t eat them. So what’s going on here? Southern Resident orcas are a different population of orcas that live in the Pacific Northwest. The lives of these orcas are closely tied to those of the salmon. So if the salmon disappear, so too will the orca. But despite their preference for the salmon, these whales are known to attack and kill other smaller marine mammals (海洋哺乳 动物) without eating them. To better understand this unusual behavior, an international team of researchers did a research and examined more than 60 years of recorded interactions between Southern Resident orcas and porpoises in the Salish Sea. “Why don’t the Southern Residents just eat porpoises instead?” Deborah Giles of Wild Orca said. “It’s because fish-eating killer whales have a completely different ecology and culture from orcas that eat marine mammals. So we must conclude that their interactions with porpoises serve a different purpose, but this purpose has only been a guess until now. ” According to Giles and her colleagues’ work the orca may be attacking the porpoise as a form of social play. It is possible these large animals may be attacking the smaller mammals as a way to build up social cohesion (凝聚力). Similarly, the behavior could represent hunting practice, by which the orcas are practising their teamwork and cooperation skills for hunting salmons. Finally, the behavior could be a way of “mismothering” where the orca see the smaller porpoises as weaker or ill and so in need of care. This work highlights the need for the protection of salmon populations in the area as well as the orcas’ entire hunting range. The threat to the salmon’s future is not just a threat to a single species, but an entire ecosystem. 11. Why did an international team of researchers do their study? A.

He traveled across the world for work and competed in tennis tournaments on the weekends. “Life is good,” he would always say, with a twinkle in his eyes. Everything changed during my second year of high school. A sudden stroke (中风) left my dad with severe physical and neurological deficits. He was unable to move the right side of his body. But the most serious problem, amidst so many others, was his loss of speech. The stroke resulted in a disorder called aphasia, which damages someone’s ability to communicate and understand language. It was like my father was a prisoner in his own body, unable to do and say exactly what he wanted. The aphasia also caused my dad to say things he did not mean. He would sometimes cry in the middle of a funny movie and laugh when something tragic happened. I found myself going through embarrassment whenever we were in public. My father would wave his cane like a weapon and shout incoherent yet harmless phrases at passersby. It upset me. I hated the stares and hushed comments, even though he did not notice. One afternoon, I came home to find my dad watching an old video. It was a video of my father and me playing tennis. What used to be such a simple pleasure was now impossible. We watched in silence until I couldn’t hold my grief any longer. I found myself shaking and crying. At any time, he could have another stroke. There was no promise of tomorrow. I felt overcome by fear, both for my family and for my father. Father’s lips moved while he watched me cry. He clearly wanted to say something, but was powerless. I wondered what he wanted to say to inspire me to face up to the darkness we were going through. I finally found my answer when one day I took my dad to the park, rowing a boat as we did a few times before. “You …and… me!” he managed to say. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Shocked, I wanted to hear more. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “Yes.
