25.推理判断题。根据第三段“Fortunately,I had the patient guidance of professors and the enthusiastic help
of classmates to rely on.(我记得当我刚开始学习针灸的时候,我常常太犹豫了,不敢实际使用针灸。为

连接心灵的能力,而不是它的独特性。来自不同文化背景的人实际上可以形成牢固的联系)”可知,中

或避开障碍物。Zai的团队正在积极研发一个更快的版本,目标是开发一个转弯系统,可能会像一个
简单的自动驾驶装置一样,利用可控气流来移动。)”可推知,机器人在未来的研究中需要改进的是其
灵活行动的能力。故选C项。
31.主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“A fully soft,3D-printed robot that operates without any
electronics has been developed by engineers at the University of California,San Diego.Led by mechanical

机器人,它可以在没有任何电子设备的情况下工作。在机械工程师Yichen Zhai的带领下,该团队创造
了一个受昆虫启发的机器人,它有六条灵活的腿,完全依靠容器中的空气移动。值得注意的是,整个

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了人们(尤其是社交媒体时代)跟风的现象,从心理学角度分

并指出青少年群体更易跟风,需加以引导。
32.观点态度题。根据第二段According to psychologist Pamela Rut,following trends doesn't fully show
character weakness.Rather,it is an entirely natural behavior fixed firmly into humans'basic need to belong
to a social group and establish connections with others.(心理学家帕梅拉·拉特表示,跟风并不完全意味着
性格弱点。相反,这是一种完全自然的行为,深深植根于人类的基本需求一归属感,以及与他人建
立联系的需求。)可知,她认为跟风不是性格弱点,而是源于归属感需求的自然行为,即"可接受的"。
故选D。
33.推理判断题。根据第四段对身份信号的解释Referred to as identity signaling,these behaviors can range
from putting a bumper sticker on a car to selecting a brand of clothing(这种行为被称为身份信号传递,形
式多种多样,从在汽车上贴保险杠贴纸到选择某一品牌的服装都属于此类。)且核心目的是show your
connection with a social group(表明自己属于某个社会群体),可知其背后隐藏的是对归属感的强烈渴
望。故选A。
34.主旨大意题。文章第一段People's tendency to follow trends,.especially on social media,is definitely
a common phenomenon.(人们跟风的倾向,尤其是在社交媒体上,无疑是一种普遍现象。)提出了跟风
现象,随后通过心理学家的观点、人类进化史、社会认知机制,层层论证跟风"源于社会需求的自然人
类行为",最后补充青少年群体的特殊性。全文核心围绕这一核心观点展开。故选C。
35.推理判断题。文章最后一句提到Therefore,it's of great importance to guide them during their journey
towards maturity.(因此,在他们走向成熟的过程中给予引导很重要。)结合前文讨论的跟风现象及青少
年的特殊性,后续段落最可能围绕"如何理性跟风"或"如何引导青少年合理跟风"提供建议。故选B。

卧室不放电子设备、第一部手机选基础款等。

心什么,很多人会提到屏幕使用时间)”说明家长核心担忧是孩子的屏幕使用问题。空后“And is my kid
really doing homework on their computer,.or have they been watching YouTube for four hours?(我的f孩子真
的在电脑上做作业吗,还是他们已经在YouTube上看了四个小时了?)”通过疑问句进一步追问孩子是
否借学习之名长时间看视频,与“孩子离不开手机”的场景呼应。空处需承接“屏幕使用时间”的担忧,
体现孩子对手机的依赖。B项“青少年放不下手机”符合语境,衔接前文担忧与后文具体疑问。故选B。

anyway.Many parents are driven to extreme despair,and other's have simply given up.(他们会告诉f孩子不允

对孩子使用电子产品的管控困境。空后“According to my own experience,talking is just not enough.(根据
我的经验,只靠说教是不够的)”引出作者的观点,说明前文家长的困境源于现有建议的不足。G项“这

方案。故选G。

causing them to lose sleep every time the phone buzzes and they grab their phone to see what's going
on.(在11至17岁的青少年中,有十分之六的人每周至少有一次在午夜至凌晨5点之间使用手机,每次
手机震动时,他们都会抓起手机看发生了什么事,这导致他们失眠)”说明青少年在卧室使用手机会影
响睡眠。空处位于段首,应是该段的核心建议,围绕“卧室与电子产品”展开。所以F项“卧室里一整晚
都不允许有电子设备。”符合语境。故选F。
39.上文Them,first phones should be basic phones..(其次,孩子的第一部手机应该是功能机)”提出“功能
机'的a建议,空后They have no social media and no AI companions,but they can call,text,and take pictures
just like a smartphone.(它们没有社交媒体,没有人工智能助手,但可以像智能手机一样打电话、发短信、
拍照)”进一步说明功能机的特点。空处需承接前文,补充功能机的关键属性,与后文“无社交媒体”形
成并列。D项“功能机没有互联网浏览器”符合功能机的特征描述,衔接前后文对功能机的介绍,符
合语境。故选D。
40.由下文“But rules like these are much easier to follow than the unclear“every kid is different'”advice.
(但这样的规则比不明确的“每个孩子都不一样的建议更容易遵循。)”可知,E项“应用这些规则并不总
是那么容易”符合语境。故选E。

its fur messy and eyes half-closed."I know you're hurting,but I am helpless here too,Dear."Mrs.Henderson
whispered,stroking the cat slowly,her voice shaky."I wanted to take you to the vet,but my legs just won't
let me hurry,you know."Lily's chest felt tight-she'd noticed how worried Mrs.Henderson was earlier,but
left too fast.She knew she had to do something to help.
Then Lily gently kocked on the door.When Mrs.Henderson opened it,surprise made her eyes wide."I
can help you to take Mabel to the vet,"Lily said in a hurried and eager voice."My mom works at the animal
clinic nearby,and I brought a bag to carry the cat."Mrs.Henderson held Lily's hands,tears welled up in her
eyes."Thank you so much,"she said over and over again.Together,they lifted Mabel carefully,heading to
the clinic with light,hopeful steps.

for forgetting the words in Hawaiian that you taught me before.

M:I'm not looking forward to this.
W:Why not?This is the holiday you've been waiting the whole year for!
M:It's not the holiday.It's traveling on the plane that I'm worried about.I hate take-offs.
W:But you've done this many times before.You never said anything when we went to Spain
M:It started on that flight to America nine years ago.When we rise very quickly,it really makes my
stomach turn.When the plane races down the track,the engines scream loudly.
W:OK,well,we're finally about to take off.You just need to calm down.Here,take my hand...What
are you looking forward to the most about visiting Greece?The beaches?The museums?Or maybe
it's the late evenings relaxing by the bar with a drink?

A few years ago, a chance encounter with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) excited my deep interest in this ancient culture. Greatly fascinated, I decided to pursue a systematic study.
I applied to Yunnan University of Chinese Medicine, and I was overjoyed the day I received my admission letter. At the beginning, the ancient Chinese classics and complex processes of herb collection, identification and combination were quite challenging to me. Fortunately, I had the patient guidance of professors and the enthusiastic help of classmates to rely on.
I remember when I first started learning acupuncture (针灸), I was often too hesitant to actually use the needles. To encourage me, my senior classmates generously acted as patients, braving the discomfort to let me practice acupuncture techniques on their bodies. With their support and motivation, my acupuncture skills steadily improved, and my studies quickly got on track.
During my learning journey, the most memorable experience was my internship (实习) at the Yunnan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. There, I had the opportunity to participate directly in patient care. I looked forward to every Saturday afternoon when I could shadow my teacher. After each patient consultation, she would give me a detailed explanation: what the patient’s pulse (脉搏) indicated, what it represented in terms of their conditions, and the role of each herb in the prescription (处方). This approach helped shape my diagnostic thinking and was incredibly beneficial to me. Even though this meant she could never leave work on time, she never complained. As an ancient Chinese saying goes, “It’s easier to get a teacher of classics than a teacher of character.”
My every day in China has been filled with challenges and surprises. TCM has taught me not just the skills to heal and save lives but how to view life. I have come to understand that the power of culture lies more in its ability to connect hearts than in its uniqueness. People from different cultural backgrounds can actually form strong connections.
24. Which of the following did the author find difficult when starting studying TCM?
A. How to collect ancient Chinese classics.
B. How to combine different herbs properly.
C. How to communicate effectively with professors.
D. How to understand the ancient Chinese philosophy.
25. Why does the author mention the experience of learning acupuncture?
A. To show the complexity of acupuncture.
B. To introduce the procedures of studying TCM.
C. To show the supportive learning environment.
D. To stress the dangers of improper acupuncture techniques.
26. What does the author mean by the saying in paragraph 4?
A. His TCM teacher is highly professional.
B. His TCM teacher is selfless and devoted.
C. His TCM teacher is strict and demanding.
D. His TCM teacher is easy to get along with.
27. What does the author learn from the experience of studying TCM?
A. Life is precious. B. Hard work pays off.
C. Uniqueness unites, not divides. D. Culture is a bridge, not a wall.
C
A fully soft, 3D-printed robot that operates without any electronics has been developed by engineers at the University of California, San Diego. Led by mechanical engineer Yichen Zhai, the team created an insect-inspired robot with six flexible legs that moves completely using air from a container. Remarkably, the entire robot is printed as one single piece from plastic, a process taking about two and a half days.
Unlike conventional robots needing electricity, this innovation relies on air pressure. Because of this design, the robot is waterproof, as demonstrated when it successfully walked through beach shallows during testing.
The six-legged design provides excellent stability on rough surfaces. When moving, three legs step while the other three remain grounded, preventing the robot from tipping over easily. Perla Maiolino, a soft robotics expert at the University of Oxford, finds the design “quite interesting”, highlighting its unique single-material, single-piece construction unlike typical multi-part constructed robots.
This electronics-free approach holds significant promise for future applications. Such robots could potentially work in dangerous environments where electronics fail or pose risks, such as underwater, in mines, or even in space. They represent a step towards free-standing robots useful in tough conditions without power wires.
However, the current model has limitations. Its speed is only about 4 centimeters per second—faster than a snail but slower than a turtle—and it can only operate for 80 seconds on an air container. It also moves only in a straight line and cannot yet turn or avoid barriers. Zhai’s team is actively working on a faster version and aims to develop a turning system, potentially using controlled airflow to move around like a simple self-driving device.
While not yet ready for demanding tasks, Zhai emphasizes the robot’s current accessibility. “The robot is like a toy,” he says. Being cheaply and easily 3D printable means “If people love it, they can make it. That’s enough.”
28. What is a key feature of the robot?
A. It requires complex tools to build. B. It is printed as a single plastic piece.
C. It has electronic sensors for movement. D. It uses various materials for flexibility.
29. What is Perla Maiolino’s attitude towards the robot’s design?
A. Positive. B. Unconcerned. C. Doubtful. D. Careful.
30. What aspect of the robot is expected to be improved in the future research?
A. Its built-in tracking system. B. Its use of electronic parts.
C. Its ability to get around flexibly. D. Its data processing speed.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Development of Printing B. The future of Soft Robots
C. A 3D-Printed Educational Toy D. A New Air-Powered Robot
D
People’s tendency to follow trends, especially on social media, is definitely a common phenomenon. What does psychology say about trend following and is there a way to break free from the desire to follow the newest craze?
According to psychologist Pamela Rut, following trends doesn’t fully show character weakness. Rather, it is an entirely natural behavior fixed firmly into humans’ basic need to belong to a social group and establish connections with others.
Historically, following trends was critical for our survival. Archaeologists have uncovered evidence that early humans worked together to transport stone tools over long distances about 2 million years ago in what is now Kenya—cooperation that allowed them to survive in a bad environment. And though following a trend on social media isn’t exactly as important as outrunning a saber-toothed tiger(剑齿虎), human evolution has programmed our brains to be receptive to social signals.
Another contributing factor is the social cognition (认知)—the processes that determine what we notice and how we respond to others. “Thanks to our humans’ complex cognitive systems, our brains are really good at identifying patterns and motivating behavior that communicates our social status. As a result, you can use almost anything to show your connection with a social group. Giving off the right social signals lets others know which group you belong to and those signals are monitored and interpreted by others. Referred to as identity signaling, these behaviors can range from putting a bumper sticker on a car to selecting a brand of clothing,” said Rut.
Almost everyone follows trends in social groups, without exception. However, teens and young adults are especially likely to follow trends, including risky ones, due to their heightened desire for acceptance and belonging among peers. Therefore, it’s of great importance to guide them during their journey towards maturity (成熟).
32. What does Rut think of following trends?
A. Risky. B. Funny. C. Strange. D. Acceptable.
33. What is the hidden meaning of “identity signaling”?
A. A great thirst for belonging. B. Blind pursuit of new things.
C. Good taste in fashion industry. D. A true reflection of personality.
34. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A. Trend-following is a harmful behavior that must be stopped.
B. Social media makes Trend-following essential for modern survival.
C. Trend-following is a natural human behavior driven by social needs.
D. Trend-following is an unchangeable human instinct proven by science.
35. What will the following paragraph most probably discuss?
A. Insights into the coming trends. B. Tips on following trends sensibly.
C. Psychology behind trend following. D. Parental guidance in kids’ future jobs.
第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下列短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Ask a parent today what they worry about, and many will mention screen time. ____36____ And is my kid really doing homework on their computer, or have they been watching YouTube for four hours?
Despite these concerns, many parents are resigned (顺从的). They’ll tell their kids they aren’t allowed on social media, only for their children to open accounts anyway. Many parents are driven to extreme despair, and others have simply given up. ____37____ According to my own experience, talking is just not enough. We need clear rules around technology use because they are kids. Below is my advice.
____38____ Six out of ten 11-to-17-year-olds use their phone between midnight and 5 a.m. at least once a week, causing them to lose sleep every time the phone buzzes (震动) and they grab their phone to see what’s going on. The mere presence of a phone in the bedroom can disturb sleep, and kids don’t even have to be using it in the middle of the night.
Then, first phones should be basic phones. ____39____ They have no social media and no AI companions, but they can call, text, and take pictures just like a smartphone. If you don’t want your kid on social media until they are 16 or older—and that’s the growing agreement—basic phones make that much easier, while allowing kids to text their friends.
40 But rules like these are much easier to follow than the unclear “every kid is different” advice. Even if you can only follow some of the rules some of the time, your kids will benefit. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
A. The best is certain to come.
B. Teens can’t put down their phones.
C. Families care much about their kids.
D. Basic phones have no internet browser (浏览器).
E. Applying these rules is not always easy.
F. No electronic devices in the bedroom overnight.
G. That’s because much advice is difficult to follow.

After her long hours, she walks nearly 12 kilometers to reach home because she cannot 43 daily transportation. Watching her 44 was heartbreaking, and I knew I had to do something, even if it was small.
One day, I offered her a 45 . Her eyes lit up with relief, and a soft, grateful smile spread across her face. Since then, giving her a ride has become part of my daily 46 . For me, it takes just a few minutes;for her, it saves hours of walking and 47 her tired, aching legs.
Every morning, she gives me her best wishes, her voice full of 48 :“May you have everything you dream of.”Her words touch me deeply and stay with me throughout the day. Over time, our rides have 49 more than just a commute (通勤) — they have become a small, shared moment of human connection.

Sometimes, life offers us chances not just to move forward ourselves but to 52 someone along the way — and in those moments, both lives become fuller.
Kindness doesn’t have to be grand — it can live in daily 53 actions. And when we open our hearts, even in small ways, what we receive can often 54 what we give. When we help someone, even in a small way, the ripple of 55 spreads far beyond what we can see.

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。
Lily hurried down Oak Street, her backpack bouncing against her shoulders as she checked her watch for the third time. She was five minutes late for her part-time job at the community library and knew her boss would be waiting. As she rounded the corner near the bakery, she nearly ran into an elderly woman carrying a large, heavy canvas bag.
“Sorry! I’m so sorry—I wasn’t looking!” Lily explained, quickly comforting the woman. The woman smiled warmly, her eyes wrinkling at the corners. “No harm done, dear. My legs aren’t what they used to be, and this bag’s heavier than it looks.” Lily glanced down and saw the bag stuffed with groceries. The woman’s knuckles (指关节) turned white as she held the handles tight, her hands trembling slightly.
“Let me take this for you—it’s too heavy,” Lily said, taking the bag before she could refuse. The woman, Mrs. Henderson, pointed to a small blue house with a white fence two blocks away. As they walked slowly, Mrs. Henderson chatted about her injured cat, Mabel. She found it on the street and took it home. Now she was worried about it. They tried to speed up.
By the time they reached the house, Lily was fifteen minutes late for work. Mrs. Henderson insisted on inviting her in for lemonade and cookies, but Lily said, “I really have to go, but nice meeting you!”. Mrs. Henderson held her hands tightly and thanked her again and again. “You’re such a kind girl. Not many young people these days would stop to help an old lady like me,” she said.
Lily rushed to the library, where her boss Mr. Jenkins gave her a gentle reminder about being on time. But as she shelved books that afternoon, she couldn’t stop thinking about Mrs. Henderson’s grateful smile. That evening, as she walked home, she passed Mrs. Henderson’s house and noticed something strange through the living room window.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mrs. Henderson was sitting alone in the room, talking to her cat.
