B
When Appa passed away peacefully one morning, part of my priceless inheritance from him was a box of yellow pencils. Some barely used, some worn-down, but each unfailingly functional, they remind me of his love of solving crossword puzzles.
In his 80s, Appa would read the day’s newspaper, cover to cover. A few minutes of reading with the sun streaming in through the bay windows, a spark in his mind, and bingo! He’d get that puzzling word to complete the puzzle.
While my father used words for love, I did the same for a living. In my own mind, it did not matter how much I got paid for writing. I wrote because I loved it, often for or about non-profits—that is until recently.
“You were paid peanuts!” said some of my younger, more worldly-wise friends. Unlike me, they found the best places to publish their work and the best editors to work with. But their words didn’t affect me.
However, when an editor surprised me with a lower rate of pay for a piece they chose to publish online rather than in print, as was originally proposed, I was shocked… and hurt! But like my father, I saw the bright side: so many people read the piece and loved it, sharing joyful emotions and praise on social media. It did wonders for my confidence.
Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Appa’s sharpened pencil. Its purpose may have been to solve a crossword. A crossword is complete—and gives one joy—with only so many words, and only when each word rests on elements from the others. Couldn’t my words hold a duality that completes my purpose too? And so, now I take up assignments, some that pay well, some that don’t, but together, and most importantly, they fill me with joy. After all, it is only our heartfelt passion that matters.
24. Why did the author mention his father in the article?
A. To express the author’s love for his father.
B. To emphasize his father’s influence on him.
C. To introduce his father’s passion for the puzzles.
D. To indicate his father’s supporting his career as a writer.
25. What does the underlined sentence “You were paid peanuts” mean in paragraph 4?
A. You were paid in cash.
B. You were paid lots of money.
C. You were paid very little money.
D. You were paid with valuable items.
26. What made the author feel hurt?
A. The editor refused to publish his article.
B. His article was published in print as proposed.
C. His article was published online with a lower pay.
D. The editor reduced the payment due to budget cuts.
27. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Like father, like son.
B. Follow your own path, and let others talk.
C. What is done with passion is done well.
D. Love what you do and do what you love.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. C 27. D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,通过描述父亲热爱填字游戏对作者写作生涯中的影响,体现了要去热爱所做的事以及从事热爱的事情对人生这一主旨。
24.B 写作意图题。根据全文内容尤其最后一段“Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Appa’s sharpened pencil.”可知作者及其父亲都非常热爱文字,而这种热爱使得作者在稿酬极低甚至于在人生产生怀疑的时候,看到父亲的铅笔,想到父亲对于解字谜的热爱与坚持都给予他力量去克服疑难,坚持做自己热爱的事情-写作。之所以提及父亲,就是为了强调父亲坚持所爱的行为对于他的影响。
25.C 词义猜测题。这句话关键在 “peanuts” 一词。根据第四段, “Unlike me, they found the best places to publish their work and the best editors to work with. But their words didn't affect me.”她的朋友们找到好的地方来发表她们的作品,也有好的编辑可以合作;但是没有影响到我,说明我与朋友们的好情况相反,报酬微薄。“peanuts” 在英语中常比喻 “少量的钱”。选项 A 错误,与 “支付方式(现金)” 无关;选项 B 错误,与 “挣很多钱” 语义相反;选项 D 错误,并非 “用贵重物品支付”。
26.C 事实细节题。根据第五段中 “when an editor surprised me with a lower rate of pay for a piece they chose to publish online rather than in print... I was shocked ... and hurt!” 可知,作者的文章被编辑选择在线发表,且稿费更低,这让他感到受伤。选项 A 错误,文章并非被拒绝发表;选项 B 错误,文章未按原计划印刷出版;选项 D 错误,文中未提及 “预算削减” 导致稿费减少。
27.D 主旨大意题。根据原文末段 “填字游戏的乐趣在于用恰好的文字完成它,而每个词都要依托其他词的线索才能成立”,随后作者联想到自己的写作:“接各种约稿,有的报酬丰厚,有的寥寥无几,但它们都让我满心欢喜。毕竟,热爱(passion)本身才是最重要的事.”。"they fill me with joy" → 呼应父亲填字游戏的乐趣, 说明爱你所做,做你所爱是最重要的事。A项:有其父必有其子。B项:走自己的路让别人说去。C项:做热爱的事情才能把事情做好。文中没有凸显出热爱才能把事情做好的细节支撑。D:爱你所做,做你所爱。
C
(科技热点)Inspired by the effortless way humans handle objects without seeing them, a team led by engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a new approach that enables a robotic hand to rotate (旋转) objects only through touch, without relying on vision.
Using their technique, the researchers built a robotic hand that can smoothly rotate various objects, from small toys, cans, and even fruits and vegetables, without damaging them. The robotic hand accomplished these tasks using only information based on touch. The work could aid in the development of robots that can manipulate objects in the dark.
To build their system, the researchers attached 16 touch sensors to the palm and fingers of a four-fingered robotic hand. Each sensor costs about $12 and serves a simple function: detect whether an object is touching it or not.
What makes this approach unique is that it relies on many low-cost touch sensors that use simple, binary (二进制的) signals — touch or no touch — to perform robotic in-hand rotation. These sensors are spread over a large area of the robotic hand. This contrasts with other approaches that rely on a few high-cost touch sensors added to a small area of the robotic hand, primarily at the fingertips.
The researchers then tested their system on the real· life robotic hand with objects that the system has not yet encountered. The robotic hand was able to rotate varieties of objects without stalling or losing its hold. The objects included a tomato, a pepper, a can of peanut butter and a toy rubber duck. which was the most challenging object due to its shape.
Wang and his team are now working on extending their approach to more complex manipulation tasks. They are currently developing techniques to enable robotic hands to catch, throw and juggle, for example. “If we can give robots this skill, that will open the door to the kinds of tasks they can perform.” said Wang.
28. What does the underlined word “manipulate” probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Control. B. Remove. C. Recognize. D. Distribute.
29. What can we know about touch sensors of the robotic hand?
A. They are quite expensive. B. They cover most of its area.
C. They perform complex tasks. D. They are mainly in its fingertips.
30. Which is the most difficult for the robotic hand to rotate?
A. A pepper. B. A tomato.
C. A can of peanut butter. D. A toy rubber duck.
31. What will the researchers probably focus on next?
A. Cooperating with other firms. B. Perfecting robotic hand skills.
C. Diversifying robotic hand shapes. D. Seeking new ways to develop robots.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了加州大学圣地亚哥分校的工程师团队开发了一种新方法,使机械手仅通过触摸来旋转物体, 而不依赖于视觉,这可能有助于开发能够在黑暗中操纵物体的机器人。
28.词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Using their technique, the researchers built a robotic hand that can smoothly rotate a wide variety of objects, from small toys, cans to even fruits and vegetables, without bruising or damaging them.(利用他们的技术,研究人员制造了一只机械手,可以平稳地旋转各种物体,从小玩具、罐头到甚至水果和蔬菜,而不会擦伤或损坏它们。)”可知,这种机械手可以平稳地旋转各种物体且不会损坏物体,再结合画线词所在句“The work could aid in the development of robots that can manipulate objects in the dark.(这项工作可能有助于开发能够在黑暗中manipulate物体的机器人。)”可推测出,manipulate表示“操控,控制”,与control的意思最接近。故选A。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To build their system, the researchers attached 16 touch sensors to the palm and fingers of a four-fingered robotic hand.(为了构建他们的系统,研究人员在一只四指机械手的手掌和手指上安装了16个触摸传感器。)”和第四段中的“These sensors are spread over a large area of the robotic hand.(这些传感器分布在机械手的大面积上。)”可知,机械手的手掌和手指上安装了16个触摸传感器,分布在机械手的大面积上,由此可知,传感器覆盖了机械手大部分区域。故选B。
30. 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The objects included a tomato, pepper, a can of peanut butter and a toy rubber duck, which was the most challenging object due to its shape. (这些物品包括一个西红柿、辣椒、一罐花生酱和一个玩具橡皮鸭,由于它的形状,橡皮鸭是最具挑战性的物品。)”可知,机器人手最难旋转的是橡皮鸭。故选D。
31. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Wang and his team are now working on extending their approach to more complex manipulation tasks. They are currently developing techniques to enable robotic hands to catch, throw and juggle, for example. “If we can give robots this skill, that will open the door to the kinds of tasks they can perform.” said Wang.(Wang和他的团队现在正致力于将他们的方法扩展到更复杂的操作任务中。例如,他们目前正在开发技术,使机器人手能够接球、投掷和杂耍。“如果我们能赋予机器人这种技能,那将为它们能够执行的各种任务打开大门。王说)”可知,研究人员接下来可能会关注完善机械手技能,使机械手进行更复杂的操作任务。故选B。
D
Savor, a California-based startup backed by legendary businessman Bill Gates, has come up with a method of producing butter- like fat out of just carbon dioxide and hydrogen.
Starting from the idea that all fats are composed of chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms, Savor patented a process to build fat molecules and then produce dairy-free alternatives to products like milk, butter, cheese, and ice cream that have the same texture as the real thing. This process doesn’t release any greenhouse gases, and it uses no farmland and less than a thousandth of the water that traditional agriculture does, so this synthesized fat has a much lower carbon footprint than real animal fat.
So far, taste tests have shown that Savor’s alternative to butter tastes the same as the real thing, but the company still has a lot of challenges to overcome before bringing it to market. “We are currently pre-commercial and working through regulatory approval to be able to sell our butter,” Kathleen Alexander, CEO of Savor, said. “We are not expecting to be able to move forward with any kind of sales until at least 2026.”
In a recent blog post, Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates explained that Savor has a real shot of coming up with a successful butter alternative, because their version “tastes really good - like the real thing, because chemically it is.”
Gates wrote: “They ultimately developed a process that involves taking carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen from water, heating them up, and oxidizing them to trigger the separation of fatty acids and then the formulation of fat.”
He also highlighted the importance of animal food alternatives like Savor’s version of butter in reducing our carbon footprint. The livestock industry contributes 14.5 percent of global greenhouse emissions, and with human population on the rise, emissions are also expected to go up, unless we do something about it.
CO₂ and hydrogen- synthesized butter is apparently just the beginning. Savor has plans to make milk, cheese, and ice cream, among others, in the not- so- distant future.
32. Why does Savor’s butter have a lower carbon footprint?
A. Because the production process is green.
B. Because it demands no farmland and water.
C. Because Savor got a dairy- free patent.
D. Because it has a small production output.
33. What can we expect of Savor’s butter?
A. It will be accessible to us soon.
B. It will be sold at a low price.
C. It will taste indistinguishable from the real one.
D. It will take the place of animal butter in the future.
34. Why did Bill Gates emphasize the importance of animal food alternatives?
A. Because the livestock industry is too demanding.
B. Because the livestock industry is not eco-friendly.
C. Because they can be easily processed.
D. Because they meet the needs of more population.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To educate. B. To inform. C. To persuade. D. To advertise.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了 Savor公司新研发出来的无乳制品黄油的特点,和传统动物黄油进行了对比,并对此黄油的前景进行了介绍。
32. 细节理解题。根据第二段“This process doesn’t release any greenhouse gases, and it uses no farmland and less than a thousandth of the water that traditional agriculture does, so this synthesized fat has a much lower carbon footprint than real animal fat. (这个过程不会释放任何温室气体,而且它不需要农田,比传统农业所需的水少千分之一,所以这种合成脂肪的碳足迹比真正的动物脂肪要低得多。)”可知,该黄油的生产过程有不释放温室气体,不用农场等特点。故选A。
33. 细节理解题。 根据第三段“So far, taste tests have shown that Savor’s alternative to butter tastes the same as the real thing, but the company still has a lot of challenges to overcome before bringing it to market. (到目前为止,口味测试表明,Savor的黄油替代品尝起来和真正的黄油一样,但在将其推向市场之前,该公司还有很多挑战要克服。)”可知,该黄油和真正的黄油的味道几乎是难以分辨的。故选 C。
34. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“He also highlighted the importance of animal food alternatives like Savor’s version of butter in reducing our carbon footprint. The livestock industry contributes 14.5 percent of global greenhouse emissions, and with human population on the rise, emissions are also expected to go up, unless we do something about it. (他还强调了动物食品替代品的重要性,比如莎威尔的黄油在减少碳足迹方面的重要性。畜牧业占全球温室气体排放量的14.5%,随着人口的增加,排放量预计也会上升,除非我们对此采取措施。)”可推知,畜牧业导致温室气体的排放,生产过程不环保。故选B。
35. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Savor, a California- based startup backed by legendary businessman Bill Gates, has come up with a method of producing butter-like fat out of just carbon dioxide and hydrogen.(传奇商人比尔·盖茨支持的加州初创公司Savor发明了一种仅用二氧化碳和氢气就能生产出类似黄油的脂肪的方法。)”及通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了 Savor公司新研发出来的非乳品黄油的特点,让读者知道了解到了新黄油的信息。故选 B。

61. 考查词性转换。句意:品尝那温热、微甜的液体是一次真正令人有所启发的体验。设空处修饰名词“experience”,应使用形容词形式。动词reveal的现在分词revealing已形容词化,意为“有启迪作用的,发人深省的”。故填revealing。
62. 考查介词。句意:它的展览中心不仅仅展示动物标本;它还旨在就紧迫的保护问题教育游客。固定搭配educate sb. on sth.,意为“在…方面教育某人”。故填on。
63. 考查词性转换。句意:然而,真正体验游牧生活方式需要更长的旅程。设空处修饰动名词“experiencing”,应使用副词形式。true的副词形式为truly。故填truly。
64. 考查连词。句意:我的访问很短暂,但回忆是深刻的。分析句子,前后两个分句“My visit was brief”与“the memories are profound”在语义上构成转折关系。故填连词but。
65. 考查非谓语动词。句意:对于任何寻求真实文化体验的人来说,肃北仍然是一颗值得探索的隐藏宝石。分析句子结构,设空处作后置定语修饰“anyone”,且“anyone”与“seek”是主动关系,表示“正在寻求…的任何人”,应使用现在分词形式。故填seeking。

My AI Study Partner: DeepSeek
Initially, I turned to DeepSeek out of curiosity, simply asking it to correct my English compositions. To my surprise, it did much more than just fix grammar errors.
It has become an invaluable partner. Firstly, it provides detailed explanations for each correction, helping me understand the “why” behind the rules. Secondly, by asking it to generate dialogues on specific topics, I get ample material for practicing pronunciation and intonation. Most impressively, I often request cultural notes related to my readings, which DeepSeek delivers concisely, broadening my horizons.
My experience suggests that while DeepSeek is a powerful tool, it works best when we actively engage with it—asking specific questions and critically analyzing its responses. I highly recommend it to every English learner.

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。
One Saturday, a thirteen-year-old boy named Tim was hanging out with his friends at a local cafe. Tim and his friends would usually spend the entire weekend together, before meeting again the following week while in school.
That day, Tim’s mom Gloria wanted to change up his routine by inviting him to watch a new superhero movie with her. Gloria kept calling Tim on his cellphone, but he wouldn’t pick up. So, she decided to make her way to the cafe, knowing that this was where Tim and his friends usually had lunch on Saturdays.
When she spotted Tim and his friends, she made her way to them, only to see Tim’s friends giggling. “Your grandmother’s come to pick you up, Tim!” they teased. Tim glared (怒视) at his mother and walked up to her to stop her from going any closer. “What are you doing here?”! he scolded her. “You’re embarrassing me in front of my friends!”
“I just wanted to ask if you wanted to watch a movie with me,” she smiled , trying to hold his hand. Tim shrugged (耸肩) off her hands. “Leave me alone! I’m with my friends!” he told her.
Gloria walked back home sadly. When Tim got home that night, it was already half past ten. He went straight to his room, not even acknowledging Gloria’s presence in the living room.
“What’s the matter, Tim?” Gloria asked him. “Why is it that you don’t like being with me anymore? I’m worried about you, Tim. I barely know what’s going on in your life!” she said, trying to walk close r to him.
“You’re such an old, boring woman! Why did you even give birth to me?!” he yelled. Gloria felt a pain in her chest after hearing Tim yell at her that way. Before she could respond, Tim grabbed his backpack and ran out the door.
“Tim!” Gloria called out. Tim rode on his bike and left the street. Gloria tried calling out and chasing after him, but he was too fast. Then, she fainted in front of one of her neighbor’s houses.
注意:1. 续写词数应为 150词左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

【参考范文】When Tim got home late that night, he saw a neighbor at their door. The neighbor, with a look of concern, informed Tim that his mother had fainted and was rushed to the hospital. Tim’s mind went blank as he processed the information, his heart pounding in his chest. A wave of guilt washed over him as he realized what he had done to his mother. He quickly grabbed his bike keys and dashed outside, his bike already waiting for him in the driveway. The cool night air rushed past him, the streetlights casting flickering shadows on his path. Every pedal felt like a race against time as he pushed himself to reach the hospital as soon as possible.
After riding for half an hour, Tim arrived at the hospital. Breathless and drenched in sweat, he rushed to the reception desk and asked for his mother’s room. The nurse directed him to a softly lit room where Gloria lay. Her face was pale, but her eyes lit up when she saw her son. Tim inched to her bedside, tears streaming down his face. He grabbed her hand and whispered apologies for his recent behavior. Gloria, with a weary but forgiving smile, reassured him that she was okay and that they could work through their differences. As they held each other’s hands, sharing words of understanding and love, the tension between them melted away.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,文章讲述了关于一个名叫Tim的13岁男孩与他母亲Gloria之间的情感冲突与和解。Tim与朋友在咖啡馆聚会时,Gloria试图邀请他一起看电影,但遭到Tim的拒绝和责备。Tim的冷漠和愤怒伤害了Gloria,最终导致她晕倒并被送往医院。Tim在得知此事后深感内疚,急忙赶到医院向母亲道歉。在医院里,母子俩坦诚相对,通过互相理解和原谅,化解了彼此之间的隔阂,重新建立了深厚的母子情感。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上,Tim很晚才回到家,他看见门口站着一个邻居。”可知,第一段可描写邻居告知Tim关于母亲的状况,以及Tim听到消息后的反应,感到医院的情节。
②由第二段首句内容“骑了半个小时后,Tim到达了医院。”可知,第二段可描写Tim到达医院后询问母亲的状况,以及征求母亲的原谅,向母亲道歉。同时母亲原谅Tim的情节。
2.续写线索:
得知母亲被送到医院——Tim感到愧疚——与时间赛跑赶到医院——询问母亲状况——向母亲道歉并征求原谅——母子和好
3.词汇激活

When Appa passed away peacefully one morning, part of my priceless inheritance from him was a box of yellow pencils. Some barely used, some worn-down, but each unfailingly functional, they remind me of his love of solving crossword puzzles.
In his 80s, Appa would read the day’s newspaper, cover to cover. A few minutes of reading with the sun streaming in through the bay windows, a spark in his mind, and bingo! He’d get that puzzling word to complete the puzzle.
While my father used words for love, I did the same for a living. In my own mind, it did not matter how much I got paid for writing. I wrote because I loved it, often for or about non-profits—that is until recently.
“You were paid peanuts!” said some of my younger, more worldly-wise friends. Unlike me, they found the best places to publish their work and the best editors to work with. But their words didn’t affect me.
However, when an editor surprised me with a lower rate of pay for a piece they chose to publish online rather than in print, as was originally proposed, I was shocked… and hurt! But like my father, I saw the bright side: so many people read the piece and loved it, sharing joyful emotions and praise on social media. It did wonders for my confidence.
Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Appa’s sharpened pencil. Its purpose may have been to solve a crossword. A crossword is complete—and gives one joy—with only so many words, and only when each word rests on elements from the others. Couldn’t my words hold a duality that completes my purpose too? And so, now I take up assignments, some that pay well, some that don’t, but together, and most importantly, they fill me with joy. After all, it is only our heartfelt passion that matters.
24. Why did the author mention his father in the article?
A. To express the author’s love for his father.
B. To emphasize his father’s influence on him.
C. To introduce his father’s passion for the puzzles.
D. To indicate his father’s supporting his career as a writer.
25. What does the underlined sentence “You were paid peanuts” mean in paragraph 4?
A. You were paid in cash.
B. You were paid lots of money.
C. You were paid very little money.
D. You were paid with valuable items.
26. What made the author feel hurt?
A. The editor refused to publish his article.
B. His article was published in print as proposed.
C. His article was published online with a lower pay.
D. The editor reduced the payment due to budget cuts.
27. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Like father, like son.
B. Follow your own path, and let others talk.
C. What is done with passion is done well.
D. Love what you do and do what you love.
C
(科技热点)Inspired by the effortless way humans handle objects without seeing them, a team led by engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a new approach that enables a robotic hand to rotate (旋转) objects only through touch, without relying on vision.
Using their technique, the researchers built a robotic hand that can smoothly rotate various objects, from small toys, cans, and even fruits and vegetables, without damaging them. The robotic hand accomplished these tasks using only information based on touch. The work could aid in the development of robots that can manipulate objects in the dark.
To build their system, the researchers attached 16 touch sensors to the palm and fingers of a four-fingered robotic hand. Each sensor costs about $12 and serves a simple function: detect whether an object is touching it or not.
What makes this approach unique is that it relies on many low-cost touch sensors that use simple, binary (二进制的) signals — touch or no touch — to perform robotic in-hand rotation. These sensors are spread over a large area of the robotic hand. This contrasts with other approaches that rely on a few high-cost touch sensors added to a small area of the robotic hand, primarily at the fingertips.
The researchers then tested their system on the real· life robotic hand with objects that the system has not yet encountered. The robotic hand was able to rotate varieties of objects without stalling or losing its hold. The objects included a tomato, a pepper, a can of peanut butter and a toy rubber duck. which was the most challenging object due to its shape.
Wang and his team are now working on extending their approach to more complex manipulation tasks. They are currently developing techniques to enable robotic hands to catch, throw and juggle, for example. “If we can give robots this skill, that will open the door to the kinds of tasks they can perform.” said Wang.
28. What does the underlined word “manipulate” probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Control. B. Remove. C. Recognize. D. Distribute.
29. What can we know about touch sensors of the robotic hand?
A. They are quite expensive. B. They cover most of its area.
C. They perform complex tasks. D. They are mainly in its fingertips.

Savor, a California-based startup backed by legendary businessman Bill Gates, has come up with a method of producing butter- like fat out of just carbon dioxide and hydrogen.
Starting from the idea that all fats are composed of chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms, Savor patented a process to build fat molecules and then produce dairy-free alternatives to products like milk, butter, cheese, and ice cream that have the same texture as the real thing. This process doesn’t release any greenhouse gases, and it uses no farmland and less than a thousandth of the water that traditional agriculture does, so this synthesized fat has a much lower carbon footprint than real animal fat.
So far, taste tests have shown that Savor’s alternative to butter tastes the same as the real thing, but the company still has a lot of challenges to overcome before bringing it to market. “We are currently pre-commercial and working through regulatory approval to be able to sell our butter,” Kathleen Alexander, CEO of Savor, said. “We are not expecting to be able to move forward with any kind of sales until at least 2026.”
In a recent blog post, Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates explained that Savor has a real shot of coming up with a successful butter alternative, because their version “tastes really good - like the real thing, because chemically it is.”
Gates wrote: “They ultimately developed a process that involves taking carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen from water, heating them up, and oxidizing them to trigger the separation of fatty acids and then the formulation of fat.”
He also highlighted the importance of animal food alternatives like Savor’s version of butter in reducing our carbon footprint. The livestock industry contributes 14.5 percent of global greenhouse emissions, and with human population on the rise, emissions are also expected to go up, unless we do something about it.
CO₂ and hydrogen- synthesized butter is apparently just the beginning. Savor has plans to make milk, cheese, and ice cream, among others, in the not- so- distant future.
32. Why does Savor’s butter have a lower carbon footprint?
A. Because the production process is green.
B. Because it demands no farmland and water.
C. Because Savor got a dairy- free patent.
D. Because it has a small production output.
33. What can we expect of Savor’s butter?
A. It will be accessible to us soon.
B. It will be sold at a low price.
C. It will taste indistinguishable from the real one.
D. It will take the place of animal butter in the future.
34. Why did Bill Gates emphasize the importance of animal food alternatives?
A. Because the livestock industry is too demanding.
B. Because the livestock industry is not eco-friendly.
C. Because they can be easily processed.
D. Because they meet the needs of more population.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To educate. B. To inform. C. To persuade. D. To advertise.

One Saturday, a thirteen-year-old boy named Tim was hanging out with his friends at a local cafe. Tim and his friends would usually spend the entire weekend together, before meeting again the following week while in school.
That day, Tim’s mom Gloria wanted to change up his routine by inviting him to watch a new superhero movie with her. Gloria kept calling Tim on his cellphone, but he wouldn’t pick up. So, she decided to make her way to the cafe, knowing that this was where Tim and his friends usually had lunch on Saturdays.
When she spotted Tim and his friends, she made her way to them, only to see Tim’s friends giggling. “Your grandmother’s come to pick you up, Tim!” they teased. Tim glared (怒视) at his mother and walked up to her to stop her from going any closer. “What are you doing here?!” he scolded her. “You’re embarrassing me in front of my friends!”
“I just wanted to ask if you wanted to watch a movie with me,” she smiled, trying to hold his hand. Tim shrugged (耸肩) off her hands. “Leave me alone! I’m with my friends!” he told her.
Gloria walked back home sadly. When Tim got home that night, it was already half past ten. He went straight to his room, not even acknowledging Gloria’s presence in the living room.
“What’s the matter, Tim?” Gloria asked him. “Why is it that you don’t like being with me anymore? I’m worried about you, Tim. I barely know what’s going on in your life!” she said, trying to walk close r to him.
“You’re such an old, boring woman! Why did you even give birth to me?!” he yelled. Gloria felt a pain in her chest after hearing Tim yell at her that way. Before she could respond, Tim grabbed his backpack and ran out the door.
“Tim!” Gloria called out. Tim rode on his bike and left the street. Gloria tried calling out and chasing after him, but he was too fast. Then, she fainted in front of one of her neighbor’s houses.

When Appa passed away peacefully one morning, part of my priceless inheritance from him was a box of yellow pencils. Some barely used, some worn-down, but each unfailingly functional, they remind me of his love of solving crossword puzzles.
In his 80s, Appa would read the day’s newspaper, cover to cover. A few minutes of reading with the sun streaming in through the bay windows, a spark in his mind, and bingo! He’d get that puzzling word to complete the puzzle.
While my father used words for love, I did the same for a living. In my own mind, it did not matter how much I got paid for writing. I wrote because I loved it, often for or about non-profits—that is until recently.
“You were paid peanuts!” said some of my younger, more worldly-wise friends. Unlike me, they found the best places to publish their work and the best editors to work with. But their words didn’t affect me.
However, when an editor surprised me with a lower rate of pay for a piece they chose to publish online rather than in print, as was originally proposed, I was shocked… and hurt! But like my father, I saw the bright side: so many people read the piece and loved it, sharing joyful emotions and praise on social media. It did wonders for my confidence.
Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Appa’s sharpened pencil. Its purpose may have been to solve a crossword. A crossword is complete—and gives one joy—with only so many words, and only when each word rests on elements from the others. Couldn’t my words hold a duality that completes my purpose too? And so, now I take up assignments, some that pay well, some that don’t, but together, and most importantly, they fill me with joy. After all, it is only our heartfelt passion that matters.
24. Why did the author mention his father in the article?
A. To express the author’s love for his father.
B. To emphasize his father’s influence on him.
C. To introduce his father’s passion for the puzzles.
D. To indicate his father’s supporting his career as a writer.
25. What does the underlined sentence “You were paid peanuts” mean in paragraph 4?
A. You were paid in cash.
B. You were paid lots of money.
C. You were paid very little money.
D. You were paid with valuable items.
26. What made the author feel hurt?
A. The editor refused to publish his article.
B. His article was published in print as proposed.
C. His article was published online with a lower pay.
D. The editor reduced the payment due to budget cuts.
27. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Like father, like son.
B. Follow your own path, and let others talk.
C. What is done with passion is done well.
D. Love what you do and do what you love.

(科技热点)Inspired by the effortless way humans handle objects without seeing them, a team led by engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a new approach that enables a robotic hand to rotate (旋转) objects only through touch, without relying on vision.
Using their technique, the researchers built a robotic hand that can smoothly rotate various objects, from small toys, cans, and even fruits and vegetables, without damaging them. The robotic hand accomplished these tasks using only information based on touch. The work could aid in the development of robots that can manipulate objects in the dark.
To build their system, the researchers attached 16 touch sensors to the palm and fingers of a four-fingered robotic hand. Each sensor costs about $12 and serves a simple function: detect whether an object is touching it or not.
What makes this approach unique is that it relies on many low-cost touch sensors that use simple, binary (二进制的) signals — touch or no touch — to perform robotic in-hand rotation. These sensors are spread over a large area of the robotic hand. This contrasts with other approaches that rely on a few high-cost touch sensors added to a small area of the robotic hand, primarily at the fingertips.
The researchers then tested their system on the real· life robotic hand with objects that the system has not yet encountered. The robotic hand was able to rotate varieties of objects without stalling or losing its hold. The objects included a tomato, a pepper, a can of peanut butter and a toy rubber duck. which was the most challenging object due to its shape.
Wang and his team are now working on extending their approach to more complex manipulation tasks. They are currently developing techniques to enable robotic hands to catch, throw and juggle, for example. “If we can give robots this skill, that will open the door to the kinds of tasks they can perform.” said Wang.
28. What does the underlined word “manipulate” probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Control. B. Remove. C. Recognize. D. Distribute.
29. What can we know about touch sensors of the robotic hand?
A. They are quite expensive. B. They cover most of its area.
C. They perform complex tasks. D. They are mainly in its fingertips.
30. Which is the most difficult for the robotic hand to rotate?
A. A pepper. B. A tomato.
C. A can of peanut butter. D. A toy rubber duck.
31. What will the researchers probably focus on next?
A. Cooperating with other firms. B. Perfecting robotic hand skills.
C. Diversifying robotic hand shapes. D. Seeking new ways to develop robots.

One Saturday, a thirteen-year-old boy named Tim was hanging out with his friends at a local cafe. Tim and his friends would usually spend the entire weekend together, before meeting again the following week while in school.
That day, Tim’s mom Gloria wanted to change up his routine by inviting him to watch a new superhero movie with her. Gloria kept calling Tim on his cellphone, but he wouldn’t pick up. So, she decided to make her way to the cafe, knowing that this was where Tim and his friends usually had lunch on Saturdays.
When she spotted Tim and his friends, she made her way to them, only to see Tim’s friends giggling. “Your grandmother’s come to pick you up, Tim!” they teased. Tim glared (怒视) at his mother and walked up to her to stop her from going any closer. “What are you doing here?!” he scolded her. “You’re embarrassing me in front of my friends!”
“I just wanted to ask if you wanted to watch a movie with me,” she smiled, trying to hold his hand. Tim shrugged (耸肩) off her hands. “Leave me alone! I’m with my friends!” he told her.
Gloria walked back home sadly. When Tim got home that night, it was already half past ten. He went straight to his room, not even acknowledging Gloria’s presence in the living room.
“What’s the matter, Tim?” Gloria asked him. “Why is it that you don’t like being with me anymore? I’m worried about you, Tim. I barely know what’s going on in your life!” she said, trying to walk close r to him.
“You’re such an old, boring woman! Why did you even give birth to me?!” he yelled. Gloria felt a pain in her chest after hearing Tim yell at her that way. Before she could respond, Tim grabbed his backpack and ran out the door.
“Tim!” Gloria called out. Tim rode on his bike and left the street. Gloria tried calling out and chasing after him, but he was too fast. Then, she fainted in front of one of her neighbor’s houses.

When Appa passed away peacefully one morning,part of my priceless inheritance from him was a box of
卡
yellow pencils.Some barely used,some worn-down,but each unfailingly functional,they remind me of his love
of solving crossword puzzles.
In his 80s,Appa would read the day's newspaper,cover to cover.A few minutes of reading with the sun
张
○
streaming in through the bay windows,a spark in his mind,and bingo!He'd get that puzzling word to complete
the puzzle.
While my father used words for love,I did the same for a living.In my own mind,it did not matter how
河
much I got paid for writing.I wrote because I loved it,often for or about non-profits-that is until recently.

"You were paid peanuts!"said some of my younger,more worldly-wise friends.Unlike me,they found the
best places to publish their work and the best editors to work with.But their words didn't affect me.

However,when an editor surprised me with a lower rate of pay for a piece they chose to publish online rather
than in print,as was originally proposed,I was shocked...and hurt!But like my father,I saw the bright side:so
many people read the piece and loved it,sharing joyful emotions and praise on social media.It did wonders for my
o
confidence.
Today,when doubts cloud my mind,I think of Appa's sharpened pencil.Its purpose may have been to solve a
crossword.A crossword is complete-and gives one joy-with only so many words,and only when each word
rests on elements from the others.Couldn't my words hold a duality that completes my purpose too?And so,now
I take up assignments,some that pay well,some that don't,but together,and most importantly,they fill me with

joy.After all,it is only our heartfelt passion that matters.

(科技热点)inspired by the effortless way humans handle objects without seeing them,a team led by
engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a new approach that enables a robotic hand to
rotate()objects only through touch,without relying on vision.
Using their technique,the researchers built a robotic hand that can smoothly rotate various objects,from
O
O
small toys,cans,and even fruits and vegetables,without damaging them.The robotic hand accomplished these
:
tasks using only information based on touch.The work could aid in the development of robots that can manipulate
objects in the dark.
To build their system,the researchers attached 16 touch sensors to the palm and fingers of a four-fingered
robotic hand.Each sensor costs about $12 and serves a simple function:detect whether an object is touching it or
not.
:
What makes this approach unique is that it relies on many low-cost touch sensors that use simple,binary(
进制的)signals一touch or no touch一to perform robotic in-hand rotation.These sensors are spread over a large
area of the robotic hand.This contrasts with other approaches that rely on a few high-cost touch sensors added to a
O
small area of the robotic hand,primarily at the fingertips.
:
The researchers then tested their system on the real.life robotic hand with objects that the system has not yet
encountered.The robotic hand was able to rotate varieties of objects without stalling or losing its hold.The objects
included a tomato,a pepper,a can of peanut butter and a toy rubber duck.which was the most challenging object
兴
due to its shape.
Wang and his team are now working on extending their approach to more complex manipulation tasks.They
are currently developing techniques to enable robotic hands to catch,throw and juggle,for example."If we can
:
give robots this skill,that will open the door to the kinds of tasks they can perform."said Wang.
28.What does the underlined word"manipulate"probably mean in Paragraph 2?
O
A.Control
B.Remove.
C.Recognize.
D.Distribute

Savor,a California-based startup backed by legendary businessman Bill Gates,has come up with a method of
producing butter-like fat out of just carbon dioxide and hydrogen.
Starting from the idea that all fats are composed of chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms,Savor patented a
process to build fat molecules and then produce dairy-free alternatives to products like milk,butter,cheese,and ice
cream that have the same texture as the real thing.This process doesn't release any greenhouse gases,and it uses
no farmland and less than a thousandth of the water that traditional agriculture does,so this synthesized fat has a
much lower carbon footprint than real animal fat.
So far,taste tests have shown that Savor's alternative to butter tastes the same as the real thing,but the
company still has a lot of challenges to overcome before bringing it to market."We are currently pre-commercial
and working through regulatory approval to be able to sell our butter,"Kathleen Alexander,CEO of Savor,said.
"We are not expecting to be able to move forward with any kind of sales until at least 2026."
In a recent blog post,Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates explained that Savor has a real shot of
coming up with a successful butter alternative,because their version "tastes really good-like the real thing,
because chemically it is."
Gates wrote:"They ultimately developed a process that involves taking carbon dioxide from the air and
hydrogen from water,heating them up,and oxidizing them to trigger the separation of fatty acids and then the
formulation of fat.”
He also highlighted the importance of animal food alternatives like Savor's version of butter in reducing our
carbon footprint.The livestock industry contributes 14.5 percent of global greenhouse emissions,and with human
population on the rise,emissions are also expected to go up,unless we do something about it.
COz and hydrogen-synthesized butter is apparently just the beginning.Savor has plans to make milk,cheese,
and ice cream,among others,in the not-so-distant future.
32.Why does Savor's butter have a lower carbon footprint?
A.Because the production process is green.
B.Because it demands no farmland and water.
C.Because Savor got a dairy-free patent.
D.Because it has a small production output.
33.What can we expect of Savor's butter?
A.It will be accessible to us soon.
B.It will be sold at a low price.
C.It will taste indistinguishable from the real one.
D.It will take the place of animal butter in the future.
34.Why did Bill Gates emphasize the importance of animal food alternatives?
A.Because the livestock industry is too demanding.
B.Because the livestock industry is not eco-friendly.
C.Because they can be easily processed.
D.Because they meet the needs of more population.
35.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
