In May 2025, a research team from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) turned this dream into a real product — a pair of contact lenses (镜片) that give you night vision. Human eyes can only see “visible light” with wavelengths between 400–700 nanometres. Light longer than 800 nanometres is called infrared light (红外线), which our eyes cannot detect. The new lenses are made of the same soft plastic used in common contact lenses, but they contain special nanoparticles (纳米颗粒) only 45 nanometres across. These nanoparticles are made of gold and rare metals. When infrared light hits them, they transform the invisible light into visible colours such as red, green or blue, which enables infrared light to be a language our eyes can understand. The team first put the lenses on mice. In a dark box, the animals could clearly avoid areas lit by infrared LEDs, showing they “felt” the light. Brain scans also proved that their visual cortex was active. Volunteers then wore the lenses in a dark room. They could detect flashing infrared signals and even tell the direction of the light source. Interestingly, the lenses worked better when the eyes were closed, because infrared light can flash through eyelids more easily than visible light. At present the lenses can only pick up strong infrared light, such as that from LEDs. Pictures look blurry because the nanoparticles scatter light. The team is now trying to sharpen the image and make the lenses sensitive to weaker infrared rays, like the heat given off by a human body. With further development, these battery-free, paper-thin lenses may truly give ordinary people “superhuman” sight. Soldiers and firefighters could move safely at night without bulky glasses; surgeons might see infrared markers inside the body directly; drivers may one day read infrared road signs in fog. Colour-blind users could even experience new colours by changing the nanoparticles. 1．The nanoparticles inside the lenses are mainly used to  ________. A．protect the eye from bright light B．make the lenses softer and cheaper C．shift infrared light into visible colours D．program soft plastic into a certain language 2．The lenses performed better with closed eyes because ________. A．eyelids block infrared light less than visible light B．volunteers felt more relaxed in complete darkness C．closing eyes increases the speed of nanoparticles D．brain scans work only when the eyes are closed 3．How does the author mainly introduce the new invention? A．By analyzing the cause and effect. B．By interviewing the research team. C．By listing numbers without comments. D．By giving examples and explanations. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To advertise a new brand of nanoparticles. B．To explain how night-vision lenses work and their future. C．To compare different night-vision devices used in daily life. D．To warn readers about the possible dangers of nanoparticles. 六、七选五 Motivation: What Is It Exactly? Motivation involves inspiring and encouraging individuals or a team to willingly and enthusiastically pursue a common goal or objective. Our parents motivate us, our friends do, and everyone does it. Let’s take a look at motivation from a leader’s perspective. 5 Empowerment Empowerment is the main characteristic of motivated leaders. Leaders who are motivated will empower their employees by providing them with responsibility and autonomy. You need to give your employees a sense of freedom. 6 Trust in the abilities of your employees and give them ownership of the tasks, which will motivate them to be better. Communication Communication is a vital part of our daily lives, and there is no better tool than communication if you want to motivate your employees. Needless to say, effective communication is a must if you want your workforce to be motivated. 7 . When this is done in a proper manner, you will start seeing fruitful results. Leaders communicate the purpose and significance of tasks and projects, making team members understand why their contributions matter. Recognition and reward There cannot be any kind of motivation without proper recognition and reward. 8 . Leaders should recognize and reward team members for their efforts and achievements. This can include both intrinsic rewards (like praise and acknowledgement) and extrinsic rewards(such as bonuses or promotions). 9 Motivation needs to be there for a long time. Short-term performance boosts are not sustainable after all. Motivation is typically focused on the long-term development and growth of team members. Good leaders invest in their team’s skills, capabilities, and personal development. A．Long-term focus B．Personal development C．Listen to their needs and then convey your needs. D．As a result, team members feel motivated to take initiative. E．They need to know that they can handle things on their own. F．For any kind of workforce, they need a reason to perform better. G．Here are some of the characteristics that you should know about. 七、完形填空 In the digital age, podcasts are popular worldwide — they have various content and are easy to access.

regular physical exercise contributes significantly to improving both physical and mental health. 【答案】 1．pretended 【答案】考查动词。句意：她假装在听，但实际上她的思想在开小差。根据汉语提示“假装”可知，应填动词pretend，结合后文was listening可知，为一般过去时。故填pretended。 2．boosting 【答案】考查非谓语动词。句意：一则成功的广告还会营造购买的欲望，从而使生意兴旺。根据汉语提示“使增长，使兴旺”可知，设空处应用动词“boost”；分析句子结构可知，谓语动词是“will create”，其与空格处之间无连词，因此空格处需用非谓语动词。空格前的“thus”是副词，意为“因此”，后常接现在分词作结果状语，表示自然而然产生的结果。动词“boost”与句子主语“A successful advertisement”是主动关系，故用其现在分词形式“boosting”。故填boosting。 3．overlooks 【答案】考查动词。句意：这座古堡从山顶位置俯视着小镇。根据句意和中文提示可知，表示“俯视”应用overlook，为动词，在句中作谓语；句子描述客观存在的状态，用一般现在时，主语The ancient castle为单数名词，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式overlooks，符合语境。故填overlooks。 4．identical 【答案】考查形容词。句意：这两份文件内容完全相同，所以没有必要对两者都进行审阅。根据汉语提示“完全相同的”可知，用形容词identical，作表语。故填identical。 5．acknowledged

(addict) to gambling (赌博) to get close to the criminal group. 2．Since he acknowledged (commit) the mistake, they would offer him another opportunity to correct it. 3．The upset girl with a bow opened a book, (pretend) to read, with tears dropping on the open page. 4．He is brave enough (acknowledge) his mistake in front of the whole class. 5．Tom acknowledged (see) the film with her at the same cinema. 6．“Digital intelligence” refers to the integration of advanced intelligent technologies into digital systems (boost) productivity, streamline resource management and foster innovation. 【答案】 1．to be addicted 【答案】考查不定式和固定短语。句意：为了接近犯罪集团，警察假装沉迷于赌博。pretend to do sth.是固定短语，意为“假装做某事”，be addicted to意为“沉迷于”，因此空格处是to be addicted。故填to be addicted。 2．committing 【答案】考查动名词。句意：既然他承认犯了错误，他们会再给他一次改正的机会。固定搭配acknowledge doing sth.意为“承认做过某事”，此空填commit动名词形式committing作宾语。故填committing。 3．pretending 【答案】考查非谓语动词。句意：那个戴着蝴蝶结的心烦的女孩打开一本书，假装在读书，眼泪滴落在打开的那一页上。分析句子结构可知pretend在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语girl构成主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。故填pretending。 4．to acknowledge 【答案】考查非谓语动词。句意：他足够勇敢，敢于在全班同学面前承认自己的错误。所给词acknowledge为动词，意为“承认”；此处为固定句型“主语+ be +形容词+ enough + to do sth.”，表示“某人足够……以至于能够做某事”，其中不定式to acknowledge作结果状语。故填to acknowledge。 5．having seen/seeing 【答案】考查非谓语动词。句意：汤姆承认和她一起在同一电影院看过这部电影。“承认做过某事”可用acknowledge doing/ having done sth.。故填having seen/seeing。 6．to boost 【答案】考查非谓语动词。句意：“数字智能”是指将先进的智能技术集成到数字系统中，以提高生产力、简化资源管理并促进创新。根据句意可知，“(boost) productivity…”是“the integration of advanced intelligent technologies into digital systems”的目的，所以用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to boost。 三、根据汉语提示补全句子 1．The little boy (假装) be asleep when his mother came in, hoping to

mentor”可知，one’s需变为her，“last Saturday afternoon”表明时态需用一般过去时，boost需用过去式。故填boosted；her；confidence。 3．It is widely/generally/universally acknowledged 【详解】考查固定句型。句意：人们普遍承认，科学家们坚持不懈的研究和创新为现代社会的重大技术突破奠定了基础。“人们普遍承认……”用固定句型“It is widely/generally/universally acknowledged

When infrared light hits them, they transform the invisible light into visible colours such as red, green or blue, which enables infrared light to be a language our eyes can understand. (这些纳米颗粒由金和稀有金属制成。当红外线照射到它们时，它们会将不可见的光转化为可见的颜色，如红色、绿色或蓝色，这使得红外线成为我们眼睛能够理解的语言。)”可知，镜片内的纳米颗粒主要用于将红外线转化为可见颜色。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Interestingly, the lenses worked better when the eyes were closed, because infrared light can flash through eyelids more easily than visible light. (有趣的是，当眼睛闭上时，镜片的效果更好，因为红外光比可见光更容易穿透眼睑。)”可知，隐形眼镜在闭着眼睛时效果更好是因为眼睑对红外线的阻挡比可见光少。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段中“When infrared light hits them, they transform the invisible light into visible colours such as red, green or blue, which enables infrared light to be a language our eyes can understand.(当红外线照射到它们时，它们会将不可见的光转化为可见的颜色，如红色、绿色或蓝色，这使得红外线成为我们眼睛能够理解的语言。)”可知，作者解释了隐形眼镜的工作原理；根据第三段中“The team first put the lenses on mice. In a dark box, the animals could clearly avoid areas lit by infrared LEDs, showing they “felt” the light. Brain scans also proved that their visual cortex was active. Volunteers then wore the lenses in a dark room. They could detect flashing infrared signals and even tell the direction of the light source. (研究团队首先将这种镜片给老鼠戴上。在一个黑暗的箱子里，这些老鼠能够清晰地避开被红外LED照亮的区域，这表明它们“感知”到了光线。脑部扫描也证实它们的视觉皮层处于活跃状态。随后，志愿者在黑暗的房间里戴上了这种镜片。他们能够探测到闪烁的红外信号，甚至能分辨出光源的方向。)”可知，作者通过列举老鼠和志愿者的实验例子来说明隐形眼镜的效果，即作者主要通过举例和解释来介绍这项新发明。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“In May 2025, a research team from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) turned this dream into a real product — a pair of contact lenses (镜片) that give you night vision. (2025年5月，中国科学技术大学的一个研究团队将这一梦想变成了一款真实的产品 —— 一副能让你拥有夜视能力的隐形眼镜。)”以及最后一段“With further development, these battery-free, paper-thin lenses may truly give ordinary people “superhuman” sight. Soldiers and firefighters could move safely at night without bulky glasses; surgeons might see infrared markers inside the body directly; drivers may one day read infrared road signs in fog. Colour-blind users could even experience new colours by changing the nanoparticles. (随着进一步的发展，这些无需电池、薄如纸张的镜片或许能真正赋予普通人“超人”般的视力。士兵和消防员无需佩戴笨重的眼镜就能在夜间安全行动；外科医生或许可以直接看到体内的红外标记；司机有朝一日可能在雾中读取红外路标。色盲者甚至可以通过改变纳米颗粒来体验新的色彩。)”可知，文章的主要目的是向读者介绍夜视隐形眼镜的工作原理和未来的应用前景。故选B项。 六、七选五 Motivation: What Is It Exactly?

D．As a result, team members feel motivated to take initiative. E．They need to know that they can handle things on their own. F．For any kind of workforce, they need a reason to perform better. G．Here are some of the characteristics that you should know about. 【答案】5．G 6．E 7．C 8．F 9．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章阐释了动机的定义，从领导者视角介绍了激励团队的四大特质：赋能、沟通、认可奖励以及关注长期发展。 5．前文“Let’s take a look at motivation from a leader’s perspective. ( 让我们从领导者的角度来看看动机。)”提出“从领导者视角看动机”，后文分点介绍了Empowerment、Communication等领导者激励团队的特质，G选项“Here are some of the characteristics that you should know about. ( 这里有一些你应该知道的特征。)”起到了引出下文分论点的过渡作用，衔接自然。故选G项。 6．前文“You need to give your employees a sense of freedom. (你需要给员工一种自由的感觉。)”提到“要给员工自由感”，后文“Trust in the abilities of your employees and give them ownership of the tasks, which will motivate them to be better. (相信你的员工的能力，给他们任务的所有权，这将激励他们做得更好。)”强调“信任员工能力，让他们主导任务”，E选项“They need to know that they can handle things on their own. (他们需要知道他们可以自己处理事情。)”承接“自由感”的核心，说明员工需要确认自己有独立处理事务的能力，逻辑连贯。故选E项。 7．本段主题是Communication (沟通)，前文“Needless to say, effective communication is a must if you want your workforce to be motivated. (不用说，如果你想让你的员工受到激励，有效的沟通是必须的。)”指出“有效沟通是激励员工的必要条件”，C选项“Listen to their needs and then convey your needs. (倾听他们的需求，然后传达你的需求。)”具体说明有效沟通的做法 —— 倾听员工需求 + 传达自身需求，符合段落核心内容。故选C项。 8．本段主题是Recognition and reward (认可与奖励)，前文“There cannot be any kind of motivation without proper recognition and reward. (没有适当的认可和奖励，就不可能有任何动机。)”说“没有合理的认可和奖励就无从谈激励”，F 选项“For any kind of workforce, they need a reason to perform better. ( 于任何一种员工来说，他们都需要一个表现得更好的理由。)”解释了背后逻辑：员工需要一个表现更好的理由，而认可与奖励就是这个理由，衔接紧密。故选F项。 9．后文“Motivation needs to be there for a long time. Short-term performance boosts are not sustainable after all. Motivation is typically focused on the long-term development and growth of team members. Good leaders invest in their team’s skills, capabilities, and personal development. (动机需要长期存在。短期的业绩提升毕竟是不可持续的。激励通常集中在团队成员的长期发展和成长上。优秀的领导者投资于团队的技能、能力和个人发展。)”可知，核心是“激励需要长期存在，关注团队成员的长期发展”，A选项“Long-term focus (长期关注)”能够概括本段主旨，作为小标题最合适。故选A项。 七、完形填空 In the digital age, podcasts are popular worldwide — they have various content and are easy to access.
