But not all online or homeschool programs are set up to accommodate science experiments or other STEM learning activities. Let’s take a look at a few mind-blowing labs that can help bring STEM topics alive for your child’s online school experience. Weather Laboratories To make learning about weather accessible and fun, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) created a lot of informative weather activities and virtual labs they recommend for students and educators. In fact, their weather science content for kids features a Weather Lab application that allows middle school students to predict weather patterns, and learn what happens when ocean currents and air masses interact. Simulations (模拟) for Science and Math It is a project of the University of Colorado Boulder and one of the richest single databases of online science interactives and virtual labs. Investigate more than 150 physics, chemistry, math, biology, and Earth science topics. Available in dozens of languages, the interactives are searchable by grade level, subject, and accessibility. Space Exploration Simulations The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) features many STEM learning activities for students in grades K-12. The interactive simulations are also gamified and make learning engaging and fun for your child. The app allows users to explore the universe and unlock stories of trailblazing scientists and their contributions to space exploration and science. 1. Who are the intended readers? A. Parents. B. Students. C. Teachers. D. Researchers. 2. What makes Simulations for Science and Math different from the other labs? A. It covers the most subjects. B. It has a translation centre. C. It offers gamified learning experiences. D. It provides multiple tools for recording. 3. What do all the three labs have in common? A. They centre on problem solving skills. B. They facilitate advanced scientific research. C. They provide virtual scientific exploration. D. They help students with STEM projects from school. B Most people see innovation as a flash of brilliance and Eureka, a new world is born. When Alexander Fleming returned to his lab in 1928, he found a bacteria culture he had grown was infected by fungus (霉菌), killing any colonies it touched. Rather than simply starting over, Fleming switched his focus to the fungus. He identified the bacteria-killing substance, which he called “penicillin”, and seemingly in a single stroke, created the new field of antibiotics. The truth, however, is messier. It wasn’t until 1943 that penicillin came into widespread use. To put Fleming’s discovery in context consider Ignaz Semmelweis, who pioneered hand washing in maternity wards (产房), significantly reducing childbed fever but receiving scorn instead of fame. That was because in the 1850s, his ideas conflicted with the popular miasma theory, which attributed disease to “bad airs”. After his death in 1865, germ theory was accepted, paving the way for Fleming’s later work. Fleming was a gifted biologist but a poor communicator. When he published his results in 1929, few took notice. In 1935, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain discovered Fleming’s paper, understood its importance, and developed methods to produce penicillin in quantity. By 1943, with World War II raging, the War Production Board enlisted 21 companies to mass-produce penicillin, saving countless lives and ushering in the new age of antibiotics. Fleming, Florey and Chain received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1945. Penicillin owes much of its success to government support. For many other groundbreaking innovations like the Internet and GPS, their innovators, while carving their own path, are often uncertain of where the opportunity lies until they team up with other visionaries and corporations, who might have the resources to fast-track their ideas. So, look at any significant innovation and the myth of the lone genius and the “eureka moment” breaks down. 4. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. An account of a lab story. B. Redefinition of a traditional view. C. Correction of a popular misconception. D. An analysis of a scientific phenomenon. 5. What is the message conveyed about Fleming’s story? A. Great minds think alike. B. The early bird catches the worm. C. Luck’s got your back when it comes to success. D. Early work is a steppingstone to later breakthroughs. 6. What does the underlined part “ushering in” mean in paragraph 3? A. Delaying. B. Introducing. C. Predicting. D. Transforming. 7. Which of the following can be the best title? A Great Innovations: Individuals Are True Heroes. B. From Failure to Success: The Story of Penicillin. C. The Lone Genius: Fleming’s Discovery of Penicillin. D The Long Road to Penicillin: How Innovation Happens. C “______”, says our memory expert, Jonathan Hancock. There’s a lot to cope with when you go off to university, and the academic work is just the start. There are new friends to meet, new opportunities to choose between, new responsibilities to accept... and, for most students, a completely new city to explore. We recently drove our daughter Evie 150 miles to start life as a fresher. It was a struggle to find the car park, let alone wander through the web of hallways that led to her room. Before we left that evening, we’d taken her to the local supermarket, and we knew that she had flatmates and phone apps to get her orientated. But the scale of the challenge ahead was clear — to find her way in an unfamiliar world. The good news for Evie — and learners everywhere — is that exploring new habitats is hugely beneficial for memory. In a recent study, volunteers walked around an artificial forest environment. Then some of them took the same walk again, while others explored a different forest. And that second group performed significantly better in memory tests straight after. According to the researchers, that was because exploring the new environment stimulated their dopamine system setting up their brains for learning. So leaving home to study for a degree makes perfect sense. What’s more, young minds seem to gain most from being in strange surroundings. But we may all be able to enjoy some of the benefits, even if it’s just by stimulating our senses and challenging our thinking skills. Here are three things to try: * Go somewhere new to tackle an upcoming learning task-like memorising a speech in the library, or revising for an exam on a park bench — and take an unfamiliar route to get there. * Play video games that get you moving through new landscapes. Then see whether it improves your success with other learning tasks, like practising a dance or mastering phrases for a foreign trip. * Get lost in your imagination! To warm yourself up for learning, picture a city you know well, but imagine you’ re stranded in a part of it that you’ve never visited. Then try to visualise exactly how you’ll get out. 8. “______” in the first paragraph should be filled with ______. A. You’ll boost your brainpower if you brave the unknown B. You’ll unlock your amazing memory with the right visual aids C. You should have a consultation with a memory expert D. You can’t improve your memory without the external help 9. The writer shares the daughter’s story in the beginning to ______. A. put the readers in the center of the episode B. introduce the topic in an accessible way C. explain the complex concept through comparison D. remind people why they go to university 10. What can be inferred about the recent study? A. The researchers were not satisfied with the experiment result. B. The volunteers were chosen for their strong memory. C. Its purpose was to prove that leaving home to study makes sense. D. The conducted experiment confirmed the previous assumption. 11. What do the three recommended things have in common? A. They stimulate the senses through the visualization process. B. They require a high level of critical thinking ability. C. They involve venturing into unfamiliar places or new things. D. They emphasize the combination of learning with recreation. D On farms all over the country, even the most traditional ones, thought is being given to the possibilities of AI. For the moment, artificial intelligence isn’t making much of an impact on the daily lives of most British farmers. But the way AI can transform agriculture in the near future is very much a reality in universities and research labs. My eyes were opened to the possibilities on a visit to a lab where cows were being automatically monitored in an innovative ‘smart’ dairy. AI was learning to recognize each individual cow and log its behavior. It then analyzed the data to warn of any signs of illness. Meanwhile, in my home county, work is underway to ensure that the upcoming generation of farmers isn’t left behind. In a few weeks’ time, newly arrived students at the Royal Agricultural University (RAU) will start their course in Agricultural Technology, at the heart of which is AI’s role in making farming more effective, productive and adaptive in a world of changing weather patterns. This would have sounded like science fiction in the 1950s, but now, 70 years on, I’m encouraged that tomorrow’s farmers are being armed with the know-how to succeed in the new digital age. Naturally, there are concerns about what all this might mean for the countless number of people who depend on farming for their livelihood. Soft fruit and seasonal veg are extremely tender and need an army of pickers and packers who may find themselves replaced at some point by the sort of standard precision-robots that have been trialled on a strawberry farm. In recent years many places have struggled to employ and keep seasonal workers, so rather than create unemployment, AI might just provide the answer to a worrying labour gap. It’s worth saying that this technology will need a whole new set of workers to produce the hardware, input new data and then install, maintain, repair and replace systems and kit. So don’t despair but do consider upskilling. Since the Industrial Revolution, every generation of farmers has had to deal with the technological changes of the day and they have successfully adapted to survive. Who knows! AI may well turn out to be just the latest in a long line of challenges to be embraced by adaptable and spirited farmers. And anything that saves me the worry of checking the weather forecast day and night during harvest season must be a good thing. 12. What did the author discover during his visit to the lab? A. AI has made automation a reality in the dairy industry. B. AI has helped most British farmers to closely monitor cows. C. AI is being developed to improve cow health through behavior analysis. D. AI is primarily being used to transform universities and labs across Britain. 13. What is the focus of the course in Agricultural Technology at the RAU? A. The role of traditional methods in enhancing crop productivity. B. The development of AI in agricultural practices in the UK. C. The ways climate change affects global food security. D. The impact of AI on boosting farming efficiency and productivity. 14. What can be inferred about the introduction of AI in agriculture from the third and the fourth paragraphs? A. It will lead to widespread unemployment. B. It will eliminate the need for human labor completely. C. It may help address the labor shortage issue. D. It doesn’t affect the nature of seasonal workers. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of AI in agriculture? A. Suspicious. B. Optimistic. C. Neutral. D. Concerned. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，共12.5分） Many adults are proud to share their fascinations with what others would label as kids’ toys. Mini Brands mystery packs or other blind boxes have become a phenomenon as collectibles for some adults. ____16____ For others, Legos are on their wishlist encouraged by the brand’s growing number of grown-up sets. ____17____ Seeking and sparking child-like joy may be part of the appeal, said behavioral therapist Maddy Ellberger. “When something reminds us of a positive memory, we are likely to engage with it because the association recalls those memories.” ____18____ Clothing brands are also cashing in on nostalgia (怀旧情怀) — from Crocs creating a Lizzie McGuire clog to Lululemon’s Disney collection making a full comeback that includes adults. Barbie isn’t just for kids clothes now either, thanks to the recent film and “Barbie-core” fashion trend. In addition to the trendy appeal, all these revivals can also touch on a feeling of connection during a time of increased division. But whether that desire for connection is satisfied depends on if you can translate the excitement into real, in-person connection. ____19____ But having or wearing the same thing is not the actual steps of forming shared identity,” Ellberger said. “And I feel like that’s some of what gets lost, and it isn’t impossible.” Ellberger has a great idea for this. “You are into a certain trend, like toys. There’s a good chance you’ll find others who are into the same trend. ____20____ If it was part of everyone’s secret Santa or white elephant — that’s a really cute way of connecting over this,” she said. A. The craze goes beyond toys. B. So, what’s with the fascination? C. It’s a great way to form community. D. Then give these toys to them as holiday gifts. E. Social media fuels the trend by creating shared experiences. F. Even stuffed animals are making their way into adults’ homes. G. Childhood favorites have instead become relevant to adults again. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） “Honesty is the best policy” is a common saying, but in many situations, people do not want to hear the truth. Whether it’s a fact of life that they ___21___ were otherwise or a criticism of their behavior, everyone has truths that they want to ignore. These truths are called truth bombs, especially when they are told in a ___22___ way. This comparison shows that truth can cause damage if not handled well. Sometimes we drop truth bombs out of anger. We may ___23___ our words by saying that we need to express our emotions or to help the other person change their ways. But often we use the truth as a(n) ___24___ to make the other person feel bad and to repay them for what they did. Truth bombs rarely lead to productive discussion because they cause a ___25___ reaction. The receiver may ___26___ the criticism or counter it with a truth bomb of their own. Truth bombs also often fail to represent the whole truth. Anger can make it difficult to see the big picture, leading to an ___27___ misrepresentation of the truth. Sometimes people do need to hear hard truths. Pretending that problems do not ___28___ can weaken trust just as much as dropping truth bombs can. And failing to address problems in relationships can lead to hatred, which may ___29___ boil over into conflict. But it is possible to ____30____ truth without turning it into a bomb. Here are some ways to do that: ● Pay attention to timing. It is often helpful to give the person some advance ____31____ so they have time to mentally prepare. ● Ask questions. Don’t make ____32____ about people’ s motivation, but ask them the reasons for their actions. Also ask if there are problems that are ____33____ their mistakes that you could help with. These questions will help you grasp the situation more fully, and the recipient may accept the criticism more easily. ● Be as specific as possible about the problem. Avoid sweeping statements and generalizations that use terms such as “____34____” and “never.” By presenting truth and addressing problems in a constructive way, you can strengthen relationships and avoid the emotional ____35____. 21. A. declare B. wish C. foresee D. show 22. A. friendly B. logical C. harsh D. concrete 23. A. repeat B. justify C. digest D. misuse 24. A. anchor B. trial C. pattern D. weapon 25.

The eye-catching architecture that marks the entrance to the station looks as if a ____37____ (threaten) giant has lifted up a tram car and thrown it into the solid concrete sidewalk. In reality, it has a much ____38____ (practical) origin. The construction of this station entrance, which looks particularly like the wreckage of a trolley car half buried in the ground, ____39____ (credit) to an architect named Zbigniew Peter Pininski. ____40____(feature) familiar objects, such as apples, eggs, birds, pipes, and clocks, in unusual contexts, he was able to arouse a sense of wonder and curiosity among viewers. In addition to his love for abstract art, Pininski also had another reason ____41____ accounted for his motivation to build such a unique subway entrance. At the time, the subway station was simply a proposal ____42____ (extend) Frankfurt’s subway system. Many of the local residents were concerned about the impact the construction and development ____43____ (have) on the community. The issue led to a fierce debate, with some people opposed to the project. Pininski’s unusual design helped win over enough support for the subway station to get “the green light”, and it was built in 1986. While some residents still complained about the expansion of the subway network into their area, Pininski’s creative architecture won praise from many ____44____. It has even become a tourist attraction for people to shoot photos of themselves near what could be described____45____ a work of art. Magritte, the late Belgian surrealist master, would have approved of the Bockenheimer Warte subway station. 第四部分：写作（共两节，共40分） 第一节 （共15分） 46. 口语课上，外教组织同学们讨论：“假如你可以带一件现代物品穿越到古代，你会带什么？”请你准备一篇发言稿，内容包括： 1.简介物品； 2.你的理由。 注意： 1.写作词数为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hello, everyone! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（共25分） 47. 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。 I was incredibly proud of my school, the Maplewood Elementary. It connected me to my roots, as my father and grandfather had all graduated from here. So, when our teacher Mr. Dow announced a group project to create a brochure (小册子) about our school for its 100th anniversary, I was thrilled. The best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was. I was paired with two classmates: Jake. who loved photography, and Lily who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right? But my enthusiasm quickly faded. Our first meeting was a disaster. When we discussed which part of the school we should focus on, Jake kept talking about cameras and photos. I turned to Lily, hoping for some support. But she simply shrugged and said, “I’m not really into this. It sounds boring.” Jake nodded in agreement. The project seemed to be harder than I thought. At our next meeting, I tried to lead the conversation back to the project. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. Jake had promised to gather materials from the library, but instead he showed us photos taken on the weekend. Lily hadn’t started her part of the research either, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared. Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, trying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Jake and Lily have talents that can make this project shine. You just need to find a way to get them involved.” 注意： 1.续写词数150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With only three days left, I knew I had to act. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语 本试卷分第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）两部分，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。所有答案均写在答题卡上。 第I卷（选择题，共95分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间讲试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面五段对话，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秒中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．Who is the woman probably speaking to?

When Alexander Fleming returned to his lab in 1928, he found a bacteria culture he had grown was infected by fungus (霉菌), killing any colonies it touched. Rather than simply starting over, Fleming switched his focus to the fungus. He identified the bacteria-killing substance, which he called “penicillin”, and seemingly in a single stroke, created the new field of antibiotics. The truth, however, is messier. It wasn’t until 1943 that penicillin came into widespread use. To put Fleming’s discovery in context, consider Ignaz Semmelweis, who pioneered hand washing in maternity wards (产房), significantly reducing childbed fever but receiving scorn instead of fame. That was because in the 1850s, his ideas conflicted with the popular miasma theory, which attributed disease to “bad airs”. After his death in 1865, germ theory was accepted, paving the way for Fleming’s later work. Fleming was a gifted biologist but a poor communicator. When he published his results in 1929, few took notice. In 1935, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain discovered Fleming’s paper, understood its importance, and developed methods to produce penicillin in quantity. By 1943, with World War II raging, the War Production Board enlisted 21 companies to mass-produce penicillin, saving countless lives and ushering in the new age of antibiotics. Fleming, Florey and Chain received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1945. Penicillin owes much of its success to government support. For many other groundbreaking innovations like the Internet and GPS, their innovators, while carving their own path, are often uncertain of where the opportunity lies until they team up with other visionaries and corporations, who might have the resources to fast-track their ideas. So, look at any significant innovation and the myth of the lone genius and the “eureka moment” breaks down. 4. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. An account of a lab story. B. Redefinition of a traditional view. C. Correction of a popular misconception. D. An analysis of a scientific phenomenon. 5. What is the message conveyed about Fleming’s story? A. Great minds think alike. B. The early bird catches the worm. C. Luck’s got your back when it comes to success. D. Early work is a steppingstone to later breakthroughs. 6. What does the underlined part “ushering in” mean in paragraph 3? A. Delaying. B. Introducing. C. Predicting. D. Transforming. 7. Which of the following can be the best title? A. Great Innovations: Individuals Are True Heroes. B. From Failure to Success: The Story of Penicillin. C. The Lone Genius: Fleming’s Discovery of Penicillin. D. The Long Road to Penicillin: How Innovation Happens. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过讲述青霉素的发现、早期未受重视、后续量产推广的过程，结合塞麦尔维斯在产房推行洗手却遭冷遇的例子，揭示重大创新并非是某个天才“灵光一闪”的产物，而是多方面因素共同作用的结果。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Most people see innovation as a flash of brilliance and Eureka, a new world is born. When Alexander Fleming returned to his lab in 1928, he found a bacteria culture he had grown was infected by fungus (霉菌), killing any colonies it touched. Rather than simply starting over, Fleming switched his focus to the fungus. He identified the bacteria-killing substance, which he called “penicillin”, and seemingly in a single stroke, created the new field of antibiotics. The truth, however, is messier. It wasn’t until 1943 that penicillin came into widespread use. (大多数人将创新视为灵光一现的“尤里卡时刻”（即灵感突现的瞬间），仿佛一声“尤里卡”，新世界便随之诞生。1928年，亚历山大・弗莱明回到实验室时，发现自己培养的细菌培养基被霉菌污染，而霉菌所到之处，细菌菌落均被杀死。他没有简单地从头再来，而是将研究重点转向了这种霉菌。他鉴定出了这种杀菌物质，并将其命名为“青霉素”——看似一蹴而就间，他开创了抗生素这一全新领域。但事实远比这复杂。直到1943年，青霉素才得以广泛应用。)”可知，在第一段中，作者先指出大众对创新的普遍认知，随后通过弗莱明发现青霉素的例子，用“however”转折强调“事实远比这复杂”，即纠正了人们对创新过程的误解。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Fleming was a gifted biologist but a poor communicator. When he published his results in 1929, few took notice. In 1935, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain discovered Fleming’s paper, understood its importance, and developed methods to produce penicillin in quantity. By 1943, with World War II raging, the War Production Board enlisted 21 companies to mass-produce penicillin, saving countless lives and ushering in the new age of antibiotics. Fleming, Florey and Chain received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1945. (弗莱明是一位天赋异禀的生物学家，但不擅长沟通。1929年，他发表了自己的研究成果，却几乎无人关注。1935年，霍华德・弗洛里和恩斯特・钱恩发现了弗莱明的论文，意识到其重要性，并开发了批量生产青霉素的方法。到1943年，第二次世界大战正如火如荼，美国战争生产委员会召集21家公司大规模生产青霉素，拯救了无数生命，也开创了抗生素的新时代。弗莱明、弗洛里和钱恩于1945年共同获得诺贝尔医学奖。)”可知，弗莱明的成果最初无人关注，直到弗洛里和钱恩发现其论文并推动量产，最终借助政府和企业资源实现突破。由此可推测，弗莱明的初步发现、弗洛里团队的开发，均体现早期成果为后续突破铺路的逻辑。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“By 1943, with World War II raging, the War Production Board enlisted 21 companies to mass-produce penicillin, saving countless lives and ushering in the new age of antibiotics. (到1943年，第二次世界大战正如火如荼，美国战争生产委员会召集21家公司大规模生产青霉素，拯救了无数生命，也……抗生素的新时代。)”可知，青霉素的大规模生产拯救了生命，由此开启了抗生素的新时代。划线单词的意思和“开创、引入”相似。选项B“introducing”意为“引入”，与此相符。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章通过青霉素的发现与应用过程，揭示了创新并非“灵光一现”，而是依赖前人研究积累、团队协作、资源支持等多方面因素的长期过程。选项D“The Long Road to Penicillin: How Innovation Happens. (青霉素的漫长之路：创新如何发生。)”既涵盖青霉素从发现到应用的漫长过程，又点明文章对创新本质的探讨，契合主旨。故选D。 C “______”, says our memory expert, Jonathan Hancock. There’s a lot to cope with when you go off to university, and the academic work is just the start. There are new friends to meet, new opportunities to choose between, new responsibilities to accept... and, for most students, a completely new city to explore. We recently drove our daughter Evie 150 miles to start life as a fresher. It was a struggle to find the car park, let alone wander through the web of hallways that led to her room. Before we left that evening, we’d taken her to the local supermarket, and we knew that she had flatmates and phone apps to get her orientated. But the scale of the challenge ahead was clear — to find her way in an unfamiliar world. The good news for Evie — and learners everywhere — is that exploring new habitats is hugely beneficial for memory. In a recent study, volunteers walked around an artificial forest environment. Then some of them took the same walk again, while others explored a different forest. And that second group performed significantly better in memory tests straight after. According to the researchers, that was because exploring the new environment stimulated their dopamine system setting up their brains for learning. So leaving home to study for a degree makes perfect sense. What’s more, young minds seem to gain most from being in strange surroundings. But we may all be able to enjoy some of the benefits, even if it’s just by stimulating our senses and challenging our thinking skills. Here are three things to try: * Go somewhere new to tackle an upcoming learning task-like memorising a speech in the library, or revising for an exam on a park bench — and take an unfamiliar route to get there. * Play video games that get you moving through new landscapes. Then see whether it improves your success with other learning tasks, like practising a dance or mastering phrases for a foreign trip. * Get lost in your imagination! To warm yourself up for learning, picture a city you know well, but imagine you’ re stranded in a part of it that you’ve never visited. Then try to visualise exactly how you’ll get out. 8. “______” in the first paragraph should be filled with ______. A. You’ll boost your brainpower if you brave the unknown B. You’ll unlock your amazing memory with the right visual aids C. You should have a consultation with a memory expert D. You can’t improve your memory without the external help 9. The writer shares the daughter’s story in the beginning to ______. A. put the readers in the center of the episode B. introduce the topic in an accessible way C. explain the complex concept through comparison D. remind people why they go to university 10. What can be inferred about the recent study? A. The researchers were not satisfied with the experiment result. B. The volunteers were chosen for their strong memory. C. Its purpose was to prove that leaving home to study makes sense. D. The conducted experiment confirmed the previous assumption. 11. What do the three recommended things have in common? A. They stimulate the senses through the visualization process. B. They require a high level of critical thinking ability. C. They involve venturing into unfamiliar places or new things. D. They emphasize the combination of learning with recreation. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了探索未知环境能显著提升脑力，新环境刺激多巴胺系统有助学习，建议通过不同路径学习、玩探索类游戏、想象脱困新城市等方式锻炼大脑。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据空格后的“says our memory expert, Jonathan Hancock.(我们的记忆专家Jonathan Hancock说道。)”可知，此处为记忆专家所说的话，结合及第四段中的“The good news for Evie — and learners everywhere — is that exploring new habitats is hugely beneficial for memory.(对Evie——以及世界各地的学习者来说，好消息是，探索新环境对记忆能力有着巨大的益处。)”和第五段中的“According to the researchers, that was because exploring the new environment stimulated their dopamine system setting up their brains for learning.(研究人员表示，这是因为探索新环境刺激了他们的多巴胺系统，从而为学习做好了大脑的准备。)”可知，探索未知环境可以提升记忆力和学习能力，由此可知，A选项“You’ll boost your brainpower if you brave the unknown(如果你勇敢面对未知，你会增强脑力)”与研究结果吻合，符合记忆专家所说的话，符合语境。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“We recently drove our daughter Evie 150 miles to start life as a fresher. It was a struggle to find the car park, let alone wander through the web of hallways that led to her room. Before we left that evening, we’d taken her to the local supermarket, and we knew that she had flatmates and phone apps to get her orientated. But the scale of the challenge ahead was clear — to find her way in an unfamiliar world.(最近，我们驱车150英里将女儿艾薇送到大学，开始她的新生生活。找到停车场已经很困难了，更不用说穿过通向她房间的迷宫般的走廊。那天晚上我们离开前，带她去了当地的超市，并且知道她有室友和手机应用程序来帮助她适应环境。但前方的挑战显而易见——她需要在一个陌生的世界中找到自己的方向。)”可知，作者分享女儿去陌生环境，开始她的新生活，她的前方会有很多的挑战，需要在一个陌生的世界找到自己的方向，结合第四段中的“The good news for Evie — and learners everywhere — is that exploring new habitats is hugely beneficial for memory.(对Evie——以及世界各地的学习者来说，好消息是，探索新环境对记忆能力有着巨大的益处。)”可知，作者在开头通过讲述送女儿去大学的经历，引出了“探索新环境对记忆有益”的主题，这种方式通过一个贴近生活的例子让读者更容易理解主题。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“According to the researchers, that was because exploring the new environment stimulated their dopamine system setting up their brains for learning.(研究人员表示，这是因为探索新环境刺激了他们的多巴胺系统，从而为学习做好了大脑的准备。)” 可知，实验结果证实了研究人员的假设，即探索新环境能刺激多巴胺系统，从而促进学习和记忆。故选D项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后推荐的三件要尝试的事情“Go somewhere new to tackle an upcoming learning task-like memorising a speech in the library, or revising for an exam on a park bench — and take an unfamiliar route to get there.( 去一个陌生的地方完成即将进行的学习任务，比如在图书馆背诵演讲稿，或在公园长椅上复习考试内容，并选择一条不熟悉的路线前往那里。)”、“Play video games that get you moving through new landscapes.(玩一些让你穿越新场景的视频游戏。)”和“Get lost in your imagination!(在想象中迷失自己！)”可知，这三件事情（去陌生地方完成学习任务、玩视频游戏探索新场景、在想象中迷失于未知区域）都涉及探索未知或新事物的主题。故选C项。 D On farms all over the country, even the most traditional ones, thought is being given to the possibilities of AI. For the moment, artificial intelligence isn’t making much of an impact on the daily lives of most British farmers. But the way AI can transform agriculture in the near future is very much a reality in universities and research labs. My eyes were opened to the possibilities on a visit to a lab where cows were being automatically monitored in an innovative ‘smart’ dairy. AI was learning to recognize each individual cow and log its behavior. It then analyzed the data to warn of any signs of illness. Meanwhile, in my home county, work is underway to ensure that the upcoming generation of farmers isn’t left behind. In a few weeks’ time, newly arrived students at the Royal Agricultural University (RAU) will start their course in Agricultural Technology, at the heart of which is AI’s role in making farming more effective, productive and adaptive in a world of changing weather patterns. This would have sounded like science fiction in the 1950s, but now, 70 years on, I’m encouraged that tomorrow’s farmers are being armed with the know-how to succeed in the new digital age. Naturally, there are concerns about what all this might mean for the countless number of people who depend on farming for their livelihood. Soft fruit and seasonal veg are extremely tender and need an army of pickers and packers who may find themselves replaced at some point by the sort of standard precision-robots that have been trialled on a strawberry farm. In recent years many places have struggled to employ and keep seasonal workers, so rather than create unemployment, AI might just provide the answer to a worrying labour gap. It’s worth saying that this technology will need a whole new set of workers to produce the hardware, input new data and then install, maintain, repair and replace systems and kit. So don’t despair but do consider upskilling. Since the Industrial Revolution, every generation of farmers has had to deal with the technological changes of the day and they have successfully adapted to survive. Who knows! AI may well turn out to be just the latest in a long line of challenges to be embraced by adaptable and spirited farmers. And anything that saves me the worry of checking the weather forecast day and night during harvest season must be a good thing. 12. What did the author discover during his visit to the lab? A. AI has made automation a reality in the dairy industry. B. AI has helped most British farmers to closely monitor cows. C. AI is being developed to improve cow health through behavior analysis. D. AI is primarily being used to transform universities and labs across Britain. 13. What is the focus of the course in Agricultural Technology at the RAU? A. The role of traditional methods in enhancing crop productivity. B. The development of AI in agricultural practices in the UK. C. The ways climate change affects global food security. D. The impact of AI on boosting farming efficiency and productivity. 14. What can be inferred about the introduction of AI in agriculture from the third and the fourth paragraphs? A. It will lead to widespread unemployment. B. It will eliminate the need for human labor completely. C. It may help address the labor shortage issue. D. It doesn’t affect the nature of seasonal workers. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of AI in agriculture? A. Suspicious. B. Optimistic. C. Neutral. D. Concerned. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨人工智能（AI）在农业领域的应用现状与未来前景，包括智能奶牛监测、农业技术教育、劳动力替代问题以及作者对AI农业化的积极态度。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“My eyes were opened to the possibilities on a visit to a lab where cows were being automatically monitored in an innovative ‘smart’ dairy. AI was learning to recognize each individual cow and log its behavior. It then analyzed the data to warn of any signs of illness.(在参观一个实验室时，我的眼界被打开了，在那里，奶牛在一个创新的‘智能’奶牛场中被自动监控。人工智能正在学习识别每一头奶牛并记录其行为。然后，它分析数据，警告任何疾病的迹象。)”可推知，在作者所参观的一个实验室里的，人工智能正在学习识别奶牛、记录奶牛行为、并通过分析数据预警疾病迹象；由此可知，作者在参观实验室时发现实验室正在开发通过行为分析改善奶牛健康的人工智能。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In a few weeks’ time, newly arrived students at the Royal Agricultural University (RAU) will start their course in Agricultural Technology, at the heart of which is AI’s role in making farming more effective, productive and adaptive in a world of changing weather patterns.(几周后，皇家农业大学（RAU）的新来的学生将开始他们的农业技术课程，这门课程的核心是人工智能在使农业在不断变化的天气模式下更有效、更多产和更适应性方面的作用。)”可推知，皇家农业大学（RAU）农业技术课程的重点是AI对提升农业效率和生产力的影响。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In recent years many places have struggled to employ and keep seasonal workers, so rather than create unemployment, AI might just provide the answer to a worrying labour gap.(近年来，许多地方一直在努力雇佣和留住季节性工人，因此，人工智能可能只是为令人担忧的劳动力缺口提供了答案，而不是制造失业。)”可推知，AI可能有助于解决劳动力短缺问题。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“AI may well turn out to be just the latest in a long line of challenges to be embraced by adaptable and spirited farmers. And anything that saves me the worry of checking the weather forecast day and night during harvest season must be a good thing. (人工智能很可能只是一长串挑战中最新的一个，这些挑战将被适应能力强、精神充沛的农民所接受。任何能让我不用在收获季节日夜查看天气预报的事情都是好事。)”可知，作者对AI节省人力，如免于日夜查看天气预报积极评价，因此推断作者对人工智能在农业上的应用持乐观态度。故选B。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，共12.5分） Many adults are proud to share their fascinations with what others would label as kids’ toys. Mini Brands mystery packs or other blind boxes have become a phenomenon as collectibles for some adults. ____16____ For others, Legos are on their wishlist encouraged by the brand’s growing number of grown-up sets. ____17____ Seeking and sparking child-like joy may be part of the appeal said behavioral therapist Maddy Ellberger. “When something reminds us of a positive memory, we are likely to engage with it because the association recalls those memories.” ____18____ Clothing brands are also cashing in on nostalgia (怀旧情怀) — from Crocs creating a Lizzie McGuire clog to Lululemon’s Disney collection making a full comeback that includes adults. Barbie isn’t just for kids clothes now either, thanks to the recent film and “Barbie-core” fashion trend. In addition to the trendy appeal, all these revivals can also touch on a feeling of connection during a time of increased division. But whether that desire for connection is satisfied depends on if you can translate the excitement into real, in-person connection. ____19____ But having or wearing the same thing is not the actual steps of forming shared identity,” Ellberger said. “And I feel like that’s some of what gets lost, and it isn’t impossible.” Ellberger has a great idea for this. “You are into a certain trend, like toys. There’s a good chance you’ll find others who are into the same trend. ____20____ If it was part of everyone’s secret Santa or white elephant — that’s a really cute way of connecting over this,” she said. A. The craze goes beyond toys. B. So, what’s with the fascination? C. It’s a great way to form community. D. Then give these toys to them as holiday gifts. E. Social media fuels the trend by creating shared experiences. F Even stuffed animals are making their way into adults’ homes. G.

Whether it’s a fact of life that they ___21___ were otherwise or a criticism of their behavior, everyone has truths that they want to ignore. These truths are called truth bombs, especially when they are told in a ___22___ way. This comparison shows that truth can cause damage if not handled well. Sometimes we drop truth bombs out of anger. We may ___23___ our words by saying that we need to express our emotions or to help the other person change their ways. But often we use the truth as a(n) ___24___ to make the other person feel bad and to repay them for what they did. Truth bombs rarely lead to productive discussion because they cause a ___25___ reaction. The receiver may ___26___ the criticism or counter it with a truth bomb of their own. Truth bombs also often fail to represent the whole truth. Anger can make it difficult to see the big picture, leading to an ___27___ misrepresentation of the truth. Sometimes people do need to hear hard truths. Pretending that problems do not ___28___ can weaken trust just as much as dropping truth bombs can. And failing to address problems in relationships can lead to hatred, which may ___29___ boil over into conflict. But it is possible to ____30____ truth without turning it into a bomb. Here are some ways to do that: ● Pay attention to timing. It is often helpful to give the person some advance ____31____ so they have time to mentally prepare. ● Ask questions. Don’t make ____32____ about people’ s motivation, but ask them the reasons for their actions. Also ask if there are problems that are ____33____ their mistakes that you could help with. These questions will help you grasp the situation more fully, and the recipient may accept the criticism more easily. ● Be as specific as possible about the problem. Avoid sweeping statements and generalizations that use terms such as “____34____” and “never.” By presenting truth and addressing problems in a constructive way, you can strengthen relationships and avoid the emotional ____35____. 21.

If I could travel back to ancient times and bring one modern item, I’d bring a solar-powered flashlight. It is a lighting device that uses solar energy to charge its batteries. When exposed to sunlight, the solar panel will convert the light energy into electrical energy, which is then stored in the flashlight’s batteries. In ancient times, lighting was often limited to torches, candles, or oil lamps, which were inconvenient and carried the risk of fire. A solar-powered flashlight would provide a clean and long-lasting source of light, reducing the reliance on flammable materials. Besides, it would enable ancient people to engage in a wider variety of activities, such as traveling at night or working in dark places. Just imagine how amazed people would be to see such a useful device! 参考范文二： Hello, everyone! If allowed to bring one modern item to ancient times, I would choose the tiny infection-fighting medicine — small in size yet powerful in impact. In times when minor wounds often led to deaths due to poor medical care, this portable medicine could save lives by preventing deadly infections caused by battle injuries or common illnesses. Additionally, it would inspire deeper medical exploration. Once the basic production methods are shared, people might advance their understanding of disease prevention, potentially reshaping health practices throughout history. In short, antibiotics represents hope and progress. They not only address immediate survival needs but also plant early seeds for scientific curiosity that could blossom into groundbreaking discoveries.

It connected me to my roots, as my father and grandfather had all graduated from here. So, when our teacher Mr. Dow announced a group project to create a brochure (小册子) about our school for its 100th anniversary, I was thrilled. The best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was. I was paired with two classmates: Jake. who loved photography, and Lily who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right? But my enthusiasm quickly faded. Our first meeting was a disaster. When we discussed which part of the school we should focus on, Jake kept talking about cameras and photos. I turned to Lily, hoping for some support. But she simply shrugged and said, “I’m not really into this. It sounds boring.” Jake nodded in agreement. The project seemed to be harder than I thought. At our next meeting, I tried to lead the conversation back to the project. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. Jake had promised to gather materials from the library, but instead he showed us photos taken on the weekend. Lily hadn’t started her part of the research either, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared. Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, trying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Jake and Lily have talents that can make this project shine. You just need to find a way to get them involved.” 注意： 1.续写词数为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With only three days left, I knew I had to act. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】With only three days left, I knew I had to act. After brainstorming some ideas, I invited Jake and Lily to my house. Opening my grandfather’s diary, I pointed at the faded photo of his class. “Your camera can save the moment for the future,” I told Jake, whose eyes suddenly sparkled. Then I suggested he photograph every corner of the school like “time travelers”. Meanwhile, Lily was engaged in my grandfather’s love letter, eager to bring hidden stories back to life. I was busy organizing layouts, combining historical accuracy with creativity. The clock was ticking, but our laughter replaced earlier frustration. (94词) On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. We stood by the blackboard as everyone went through the pages. They examined the brochure carefully, with their fingers tracing the photos, narratives and timelines which connected three generations of graduates. Noticing surprise on every face, we couldn’t wait to hear Mr. Dow’s announcement of the winner. “This work isn’t just about the school anniversary,” he finally said, tapping the cover where our three names shone, “it’s about how its spirit lives through students’ cooperation.” That afternoon in the library, seeing our brochure on display, we realized our combined talents had created what none could alone.
