Evan Budz, a 15-year-old from Ontario, Canada, is receiving global recognition for his invention: an autonomous bionic sea turtle robot. The robot, which can monitor ecological systems underwater, won Budz a first-place prize in the European Union Contest for Young Scientists (EUCYS).
“The idea for this project struck me when I observed the fluent movement of a turtle while camping,” Budz said.
He saw potential in the way the turtle moved, compared with traditional systems of other autonomous robots. He created an approach that copied the way green sea turtles moved underwater. Not only is it a unique way to move through the water, but it also has less impact on the very environments scientists are trying to protect.
“Aquatic (水生的) habitats are vital to humanity, and the routine surveying of these environments has become critical,” Budz explained. “Using an innovative bionic robot for such an analysis ensures low ecological disruption (扰乱).” Budz said the robot used a computer vision imaging system to quantify coral health, which can detect coral bleaching (珊瑚白化) with 96% accuracy. “The information gathered by the robot will ideally allow the right organizations to identify where these threats may be occurring, increasing awareness and supporting efforts to increase the overall health of impacted areas,” Budz said.
“For ecological monitoring, I want to be as low as possible in terms of disruption to the environment,” Budz told CBC News. “So, by imitating the turtle, I can ensure that I don’t disrupt any other organisms while I’m conducting the monitor.” He tested the device in his grandparents’ backyard pool and determined that the robot was precise and reliable.
“Evan’s success at EUCYS 2025 shows that his project is truly world-class,” said Reni Barlow, the executive director at Youth Science Canada. “An extraordinary innovation that showcases the ability of Canadian youth to tackle complex technical and environmental challenges.” For Budz, it’s just a cause he has cared about for much of his adolescence.
4. What inspired Evan Budz to create his robot?
A. The decline of coral. B. The coral’s poor condition.
C. The motion of a turtle. D. The environmental issue.
5. What is an advantage of Evan Budz’s robot compared with traditional robots?
A. It can move freely underwater. B. It hardly disturbs other organisms.
C. It can check coral’s health. D. It ensures the regular surveying.
6. Why did Evan Budz test the robot in a backyard pool?
A. To meet his grandparents’ demands. B. To compare it with other robots.
C. To measure its speed in the deep sea. D. To test its accuracy and reliability.
7. What did Reni Barlow think of Evan Budz’s project?
A. Excellent. B. Traditional. C. Cost-effective. D. Time-saving.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A

Year after year, Richmond-area schools have been getting greener by the square foot. Garden beds filled with blooming vegetables have taken the place of side yards and other unused outdoor spaces, thanks to dozens of plots planted by the Richmond-based nonprofit Fit4Kids.
It began 15 years ago with the mission to improve the well-being of local youth through physical activity and healthy eating. The group’s programs include movement-based lesson plans for teachers to introduce physical activity into the classroom and an after-school program for young girls to try out active hobbies. Its most visible effort, though, is a series of Learning Gardens, which brings gardening and cooking activities to school-aged children in the Richmond metro area.
“They connect the students to fresh, nutritious foods through planting, growing and harvesting fresh vegetables and herbs,” says Mary Dunne Stewart, Fit4Kids’ CEO. Built on the grounds of participating schools, Learning Gardens typically includes four raised garden beds that act as outdoor classrooms where students plant, nurture and harvest their own food with Fit4Kids gardening specialists throughout the school year. To ensure students can witness the life cycle from seed to harvest, Stewart notes, they mostly plant fast-growing produce such as carrots; they also add herbs to diversify the garden. “These choices also help students learn about different parts of the plant we eat,” she says. “Some are root vegetables, while others provide edible leaves.”
Besides imparting plant-growing skills, Learning Gardens also engages students through tastings of fresh fruits and vegetables, discussions about healthy diets, and activities such as cooking contests, where students are given surprise ingredients and encouraged to experiment. The program also has the benefit of encouraging discussions beyond the classroom.
“It increases the students’ interest in fresh fruits and vegetables,” says Renesha Parks, chief student wellness officer at Richmond Public Schools. “I’ve even seen the kids try fresh broccoli with seasoning, and they absolutely loved it.”
Looking forward, Stewart says, “We really believe that active, well-nourished (营养良好的) children learn more in school, have greater self-esteem and go on to lead healthier, happier lives.”
8. What can be learned about Fit4kids?
A. It turns out largely valueless. B. It replaces traditional classrooms.
C. It is a health-focused organization. D. It aims to improve teachers’ ability.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly talking about?
A. The significance of physical activity. B. The severity of food shortage.
C. The difficulty in choosing produce. D. The design of Learning Gardens.
10. What does the underlined word “imparting” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Teaching. B. Improving. C. Assessing. D. Mastering.
11. What does Renesha Parks imply in paragraph 5?
A. Schools should expand Learning Gardens.
B. Learning Gardens has a positive effect.
C. Students develop an interest in nutritious food.
D. Education outside classrooms is more important.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】

Kilian M. Pohl, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford, says, “Future breakthrough discoveries in neuroscience will rely on AI technology. The problem currently is that this technology tends to produce unreliable results, as most brain MRI (磁共振成像) studies are simply not large enough.” That is why Pohl is taking advantage of large studies to create deep-learning models for generating realistic-looking brain MRIs that then can be used by smaller studies.
Enabled by funding from the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI Google Cloud Credits grant program, Pohl worked jointly with other researchers from the Computational Neuroscience Laboratory on creating a model called BrainSynth that synthesizes (合成) realistic, high-resolution MRIs to help reproduce disease effects. The generated MRIs can increase datasets with countless more samples to better conduct brain research.
Such enriched datasets could be used to understand common conditions, like depression or substance abuse disorders in the general population as well as specific subgroups, such as people with HIV.
Pohl is most excited about applying BrainSynth toward learning about diseases that subtly (微妙地) affect the brain. “Many diseases or conditions that I study are ones that are not well understood, and the impact on the brain has subtle effects that you can’t often see with the eyes,” Pohl said. “I want to use this generative AI technology to get those subtle effects.” Since current generative AI technology is far from perfect, Pohl says that the synthetic MRIs are only used for training for now, not testing or inference. Synthetic MRIs must be reviewed to ensure they are correct and possible in a human. Pohl says his research team compares real MRIs with the synthetic images to see how well they overlap (重叠) to ensure these systems are working and to improve training.
Down the road, Pohl is optimistic that the technology could also be used for education and prevention: What will my brain look like if I keep doing X? It could also be used for surgery planning to project the long-term consequences of a treatment and how the brain might look differently in the future.
12. What can be inferred about Pohl’s team’s generated MRIs?
A. They have been used for inference. B. They can expand training datasets.
C. They can tell brain diseases accurately. D. They are much cheaper to produce.
13. What does Pohl aim to do with BrainSynth?
A. Improve the training precision. B. Finish more surgical operations.
C. Capture tiny changes in the brain. D. Prove the effects of real MRIs.
14. What does Pohl tell us about the generative AI technology in the last paragraph?
A. Its future applications. B. Its study purpose.
C. Its ongoing challenges. D. Its treatment effects.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How AI Will Prevent Brain Diseases
B. Why Researchers Favor the Generated MRIs
C. Traditional MRI Technology Comes to an End
D. GenAI Helps Better Understand Brain Diseases
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了斯坦福大学Pohl教授团队利用生成式AI技术合成脑MRI图像,扩充脑科学研究数据集、助力脑部疾病研究的进展。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。介绍了成都在部分学校启动的“一体化教育”试点项目,涉及项目形式、改革背景及相关教育专家的看法。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:9月下旬,西南城市成都在今年秋季开学的8所公私立学校启动了一个试点项目。此处引导限制性定语从句,在从句中作主语,先行词是a pilot program,指物,应用关系代词that/ which。故填that/ which。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:每所参与学校都选择了两个每班不超过45人的班级,通过自愿报名选出,作为“一体化教育”班级。 句子已有谓语 has chosen,此空应是非谓语形式。select与students是动宾关系,应用过去分词selected。故填selected。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:这些班级独立运作,融合了初中和高中的课程。此处修饰动词operate,应用副词separately,作状语,意为“独立地”。故填separately。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这个新模式是成都改革中考制度更大举措的一部分,旨在弥合学段之间的差距,缓解考试压力。one’s effort to do sth.是固定搭配,意为“某人做某事的努力”,此处应用动词不定式to reform,作后置定语。故填to reform。
【40题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:这个新模式是成都改革中考制度更大举措的一部分,旨在弥合学段之间的差距,缓解考试压力。gap是可数名词,此处指多个学段之间的差距,应用复数gaps,作宾语。故填gaps。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中考是中国最重要的学业阶段之一,决定学生是升入普通高中还是职业教育轨道。determine与The zhongkao是主谓关系,应用现在分词determining,作状语。故填determining。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:中考是中国最重要的学业阶段之一,决定学生是升入普通高中还是职业教育轨道。whether... or...是固定搭配,意为“是……还是……”。故填or。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:她既表达了对孩子未被选入试点项目的遗憾,也表达了对项目扩大的希望。此处前有介词for与不定冠词an,应用名词expansion,意为“扩大”,作宾语。故填expansion。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意:到目前为止,其他几个城市也推出了类似的“免考”举措,不过这些举措通常只针对优等生。根据So far可知,用现在完成时,initiatives与launch是动宾关系,且主语initiatives为复数,谓语应是现在完成时的被动语态have been launched。故填have been launched。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:中国21世纪教育研究院院长熊丙奇警告称,许多家长可能会把一体化班级视为避免学业分流的一种方式。view... as...是固定搭配,意为“把……视为……”,此空应是介词as。故填as。

第二节(满分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。
The street was wet and cold wind blew through the tall buildings. The bright lights of the city illuminated (照亮) the night, but for struggling businessman John Carter, the world seemed incredibly hopeless. Just one year ago, John had big dreams. He had quit his job to start his own company, believing he could create something great. But things didn’t go as planned. His business had collapsed under financial pressure and he was drowning in debt. Now, he was wandering the streets aimlessly, feeling completely discouraged.
As he waited at a traffic light, he noticed an old man walking slowly and looking around on the road. John was on the edge of ignoring the man and walking away when something inside stopped him. Taking a deep breath, he walked to the old man. “Excuse me, I found you seemed anxious. Do you need any help?” John asked. The old man looked at John. “I couldn’t find my way home,” the old man said and at the same time, he took out a card on which there was a phone number. Looking at the card, John realized the old man may have memory loss issues. Therefore, he decided to help the old man.
He dialed the number and the old man’s son answered the phone. While waiting, John and the old man chatted. He told the old man what he had experienced. John felt relieved after their talk, maybe because he voiced his mental stress, though the old man couldn’t give him any advice.
A few moments later, the old man’s son, Michael, arrived in a hurry, looking worried. When he saw his father safe and sound, he felt relieved. “Thank you so much,” he said, holding John’s hand tightly. “My dad has Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默症). Sometimes he remembers my name, but he acts as if we just met from time to time. I’ve been looking for hours.” “Good man... You deserve luck,” the old man said before being driven away.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
John received a call from Michael unexpectedly the next day.

John felt lost in thought after hanging up the phone.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
John received a call from Michael unexpectedly the next day. Michael told John that his father had been talking about him since they got home. “My dad insisted that I find a way to help you. He said you were a good man in trouble and deserved a break. I run a small company and I think you have the talent and determination to succeed. Would you like to come and work for me?” John was shocked and speechless. He never expected such kindness from a stranger. “I... I don’t know what to say. Thank you so much. I would be honored to work for you,” he replied.
John felt lost in thought after hanging up the phone. He realized that sometimes, in the darkest moments of our lives, a small act of kindness can change everything. The old man’s simple words of encouragement and Michael’s offer of a job had given him a new lease on life. He decided to take this opportunity and work hard to prove himself. With a newfound sense of hope and purpose, John walked out of his apartment and into the bright sunlight, ready to face the future.

Evan Budz, a 15-year-old from Ontario, Canada, is receiving global recognition for his invention: an autonomous bionic sea turtle robot. The robot, which can monitor ecological systems underwater, won Budz a first-place prize in the European Union Contest for Young Scientists (EUCYS).
“The idea for this project struck me when I observed the fluent movement of a turtle while camping,” Budz said.
He saw potential in the way the turtle moved compared with traditional systems of other autonomous robots. He created an approach that copied the way green sea turtles moved underwater. Not only is it a unique way to move through the water, but it also has less impact on the very environments scientists are trying to protect.
“Aquatic (水生的) habitats are vital to humanity, and the routine surveying of these environments has become critical,” Budz explained. “Using an innovative bionic robot for such an analysis ensures low ecological disruption (扰乱).” Budz said the robot used a computer vision imaging system to quantify coral health, which can detect coral bleaching (珊瑚白化) with 96% accuracy. “The information gathered by the robot will ideally allow the right organizations to identify where these threats may be occurring, increasing awareness and supporting efforts to increase the overall health of impacted areas,” Budz said.
“For ecological monitoring, I want to be as low as possible in terms of disruption to the environment,” Budz told CBC News. “So, by imitating the turtle, I can ensure that I don’t disrupt any other organisms while I’m conducting the monitor.” He tested the device in his grandparents’ backyard pool and determined that the robot was precise and reliable.
“Evan’s success at EUCYS 2025 shows that his project is truly world-class,” said Reni Barlow, the executive director at Youth Science Canada. “An extraordinary innovation that showcases the ability of Canadian youth to tackle complex technical and environmental challenges.” For Budz, it’s just a cause he has cared about for much of his adolescence.
4. What inspired Evan Budz to create his robot?
A. The decline of coral. B. The coral’s poor condition.
C. The motion of a turtle. D. The environmental issue.
5 What is an advantage of Evan Budz’s robot compared with traditional robots?
A. It can move freely underwater. B. It hardly disturbs other organisms.
C. It can check coral’s health. D. It ensures the regular surveying.
6. Why did Evan Budz test the robot in a backyard pool?
A. To meet his grandparents’ demands. B. To compare it with other robots.
C. To measure its speed in the deep sea. D. To test its accuracy and reliability.
7. What did Reni Barlow think of Evan Budz’s project?
A. Excellent. B. Traditional. C. Cost-effective. D. Time-saving.

Year after year, Richmond-area schools have been getting greener by the square foot. Garden beds filled with blooming vegetables have taken the place of side yards and other unused outdoor spaces, thanks to dozens of plots planted by the Richmond-based nonprofit Fit4Kids.
It began 15 years ago with the mission to improve the well-being of local youth through physical activity and healthy eating. The group’s programs include movement-based lesson plans for teachers to introduce physical activity into the classroom and an after-school program for young girls to try out active hobbies. Its most visible effort, though, is a series of Learning Gardens, which brings gardening and cooking activities to school-aged children in the Richmond metro area.
“They connect the students to fresh, nutritious foods through planting, growing and harvesting fresh vegetables and herbs,” says Mary Dunne Stewart, Fit4Kids’ CEO. Built on the grounds of participating schools, Learning Gardens typically includes four raised garden beds that act as outdoor classrooms where students plant, nurture and harvest their own food with Fit4Kids gardening specialists throughout the school year. To ensure students can witness the life cycle from seed to harvest, Stewart notes, they mostly plant fast-growing produce such as carrots; they also add herbs to diversify the garden. “These choices also help students learn about different parts of the plant we eat,” she says. “Some are root vegetables, while others provide edible leaves.”
Besides imparting plant-growing skills, Learning Gardens also engages students through tastings of fresh fruits and vegetables, discussions about healthy diets, and activities such as cooking contests, where students are given surprise ingredients and encouraged to experiment. The program also has the benefit of encouraging discussions beyond the classroom.
“It increases the students’ interest in fresh fruits and vegetables,” says Renesha Parks, chief student wellness officer at Richmond Public Schools. “I’ve even seen the kids try fresh broccoli with seasoning, and they absolutely loved it.”
Looking forward, Stewart says, “We really believe that active, well-nourished (营养良好的) children learn more in school, have greater self-esteem and go on to lead healthier, happier lives.”
8. What can be learned about Fit4kids?
A. It turns out largely valueless. B. It replaces traditional classrooms.
C. It is a health-focused organization. D. It aims to improve teachers’ ability.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly talking about?
A. The significance of physical activity. B. The severity of food shortage.
C. The difficulty in choosing produce. D. The design of Learning Gardens.
10. What does the underlined word “imparting” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Teaching. B. Improving. C. Assessing. D. Mastering.
11. What does Renesha Parks imply in paragraph 5?
A. Schools should expand Learning Gardens.
B. Learning Gardens has a positive effect.
C. Students develop an interest in nutritious food.
D. Education outside classrooms is more important.

The problem currently is that this technology tends to produce unreliable results, as most brain MRI (磁共振成像) studies are simply not large enough.” That is why Pohl is taking advantage of large studies to create deep-learning models for generating realistic-looking brain MRIs that then can be used by smaller studies.
Enabled by funding from the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI Google Cloud Credits grant program, Pohl worked jointly with other researchers from the Computational Neuroscience Laboratory on creating a model called BrainSynth that synthesizes (合成) realistic, high-resolution MRIs to help reproduce disease effects. The generated MRIs can increase datasets with countless more samples to better conduct brain research.
Such enriched datasets could be used to understand common conditions, like depression or substance abuse disorders in the general population as well as specific subgroups, such as people with HIV.
Pohl is most excited about applying BrainSynth toward learning about diseases that subtly (微妙地) affect the brain. “Many diseases or conditions that I study are ones that are not well understood, and the impact on the brain has subtle effects that you can’t often see with the eyes,” Pohl said. “I want to use this generative AI technology to get those subtle effects.” Since current generative AI technology is far from perfect, Pohl says that the synthetic MRIs are only used for training for now, not testing or inference. Synthetic MRIs must be reviewed to ensure they are correct and possible in a human. Pohl says his research team compares real MRIs with the synthetic images to see how well they overlap (重叠) to ensure these systems are working and to improve training.
Down the road, Pohl is optimistic that the technology could also be used for education and prevention: What will my brain look like if I keep doing X? It could also be used for surgery planning to project the long-term consequences of a treatment and how the brain might look differently in the future.
12. What can be inferred about Pohl’s team’s generated MRIs?
A. They have been used for inference. B. They can expand training datasets.
C. They can tell brain diseases accurately. D. They are much cheaper to produce.
13. What does Pohl aim to do with BrainSynth?
A. Improve the training precision. B. Finish more surgical operations.
C. Capture tiny changes in the brain. D. Prove the effects of real MRIs.
14. What does Pohl tell us about the generative AI technology in the last paragraph?
A. Its future applications. B. Its study purpose.
C. Its ongoing challenges. D. Its treatment effects.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How AI Will Prevent Brain Diseases
B. Why Researchers Favor the Generated MRIs
C. Traditional MRI Technology Comes to an End
D. GenAI Helps Better Understand Brain Diseases

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。
The street was wet and cold wind blew through the tall buildings. The bright lights of the city illuminated (照亮) the night, but for struggling businessman John Carter, the world seemed incredibly hopeless. Just one year ago, John had big dreams. He had quit his job to start his own company, believing he could create something great. But things didn’t go as planned. His business had collapsed under financial pressure and he was drowning in debt. Now, he was wandering the streets aimlessly, feeling completely discouraged.
As he waited at a traffic light, he noticed an old man walking slowly and looking around on the road. John was on the edge of ignoring the man and walking away when something inside stopped him. Taking a deep breath, he walked to the old man. “Excuse me, I found you seemed anxious. Do you need any help?” John asked. The old man looked at John. “I couldn’t find my way home,” the old man said and at the same time, he took out a card on which there was a phone number. Looking at the card, John realized the old man may have memory loss issues. Therefore, he decided to help the old man.
He dialed the number and the old man’s son answered the phone. While waiting, John and the old man chatted. He told the old man what he had experienced. John felt relieved after their talk, maybe because he voiced his mental stress, though the old man couldn’t give him any advice.
A few moments later, the old man’s son, Michael, arrived in a hurry, looking worried. When he saw his father safe and sound, he felt relieved. “Thank you so much,” he said, holding John’s hand tightly. “My dad has Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默症). Sometimes he remembers my name, but he acts as if we just met from time to time. I’ve been looking for hours.” “Good man... You deserve luck,” the old man said before being driven away.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
John received a call from Michael unexpectedly the next day.
