I still hear him sometimes. “Watch who gets there first,” he says. “In case of a tie, give way to the car on the right.” Dad loved four-way stops. He saw them as proof that humans could behave rationally (理性地) for everyone’s benefit. I still feel nervous as I come to one, cars moving forward, drivers impatient. I know the rules, but it’s always a discussion. You have to be alert and civil. Letting someone go ahead feels like a favor. But it’s through these small acts of kindness that everyone gets where they need to go. To Dad, four-way stops were civilization in miniature (缩影). Respecting others’ humanity in a car is an act of self-control. When Dad was teaching me, I remember stalling (熄火) in a busy roundabout, looking anxiously in the rear-view mirror. “Don’t worry about them,” Dad said. No one honked. Today, everyone’s in a hurry. Now, I stop at the white line and wonder if I should let a nervous student driver go first. If they wait too long, I expect to hear a horn. Dad believed people want to do right, but that depends on a shared sense of fairness. When kindness is seen as weakness, all bets are off. “Civilization is a thin veneer (表面装饰),” he’d say. I think civil society is more like chemistry: everywhere, but also local. At any one place, it’s weak. But behind the wheel, I’m not powerless. I can uphold the bond here at the four-way stop. This bond isn’t just politeness. It’s the belief that helping others doesn’t cost us. Dad’s lesson was that everyone succeeds when we all move forward, not just a lucky few. One day, the power went out and the traffic lights went dark. Our busy intersection became a sudden four-way stop. It tested how well drivers knew the rules. Dad would have loved it. He never gave up his driver’s license; he let it run out.  I wish he were here beside me, reminding me not to worry about the drivers behind, to yield when I should, and to go when it’s my turn. How I miss him. 24. What did the author’s father see four-way stops as? A. A model of rational cooperation. B. A sign of polite social behavior. C. A tool for managing heavy traffic. D. A test of human patience. 25. Why does the author mention stalling at a busy roundabout? A. To describe the traffic situation. B. To imply his fear of roundabouts. C. To show his father’s driving skills. D. To stress the change in people’s behavior. 26. What does the author suggest about civil society? A. It fades in busy cities. B. It depends on individual actions. C It is weak and rarely needed. D. It grows through urban planning. 27. What lesson did the father try to teach through driving? A. Following rules is extremely important. B. Driving skills reflect true character. C. Helping others benefits everyone. D. True kindness requires strong control. C Education experts at the University of South Australia remind teachers that high engagement leads to high returns when it comes to improving student performance. Filming and assessing the content of classrooms across South Australia and Victoria, researchers found in a new study that nearly 70% of student tasks involved superficial learning — simple questions and answers, taking notes, or listening to teachers — rather than activities that engage students on a deeper level. Less than a third of teachers are engaging students in complex learning, limiting student opportunities for critical thinking and problem solving. Dr. Stephenson, a researcher at UniSA, emphasizes that teachers need more support in designing interactive and meaningful lessons that promote deep learning. “The greater the engagement, the deeper the learning. Deep learning helps organize knowledge into conceptual frameworks, enhancing memory and learning outcomes. It also develops innovative thinking. Even small adjustments to lesson plans and teaching techniques can significantly boost student engagement and overall performance,” he explains. At a base level, teachers should consider how they can adjust their existing classroom activities so that more tasks are on the deeper end of learning. For instance, watching a video can be done in various ways: students can watch it passively, take notes using the speaker’s words (active engagement), write questions based on the video’s content (constructive engagement), or watch and discuss the video in a group to generate new ideas (interactive engagement). “Interactive learning motivates students to engage more deeply by making judgments, discussing ideas, and cooperating on solutions,” Dr. Stephenson says. Interestingly, many teachers seem not to know or fully appreciate the importance of how their lesson tasks can stimulate (激发) different modes of student engagement. “Even changing class activities from ‘active’ to ‘constructive’ can go a long way towards improving student leaning,” Dr. Stephenson says. “Teachers should undertake professional development to transform their thinking towards practices that support deeper-learning and better outcomes for students.” 28. What does the underlined word “superficial” probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Interactive. B. Devoted. C. Shallow. D. Accurate. 29. What do education experts advise teachers to do? A. Frequently assess student outcomes. B. Involve students in active learning. C Increase the use of videos in class. D. Promote students’ planning skills. 30. What can be learned about current class activities? A. They prevent students from distraction. B. They help develop students’ team spirit. C. They make for students’ deep thinking. D. They are in urgent need of transformation. 31. Which activity can improve student performance best? A. Viewing videos. B. Class debates. C. Reading competitions. D. Retelling exercises. D 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 usable 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,” be says. Being cheaply and easily 3D printable means “If people love it, they can make it. That’s enough.” 32. 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 multiple materials for flexibility. 33. What is Perla Maiolino’s attitude towards the robot’s design? A. Doubtful. B. Unconcerned. C. Critical. D. Positive. 34. What aspect of the robot is expected to be improved in future research? A. Its structural complexity. B. Its ability to avoid barriers. C. Its data processing capacity. D. Its use of electronic parts. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. A 3D-Printed Robot with Four Legs B. The Advantages of Air-Powered Robots C. The Speed and Limitations of a Soft Robot D. An Air-Powered Robot Without Electronics 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，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。 Green Roofs: Breathing Life into Concrete Jungles Imagine concrete jungles turning into living landscapes. Across global cities, rooftops are being transformed into gardens, creating what we call green roofs. ____36____ Originally popularized in Germany in the 1960s, this innovative approach is now a worldwide nature-based solution to urban environmental crises, demonstrating how cities can harmonize with ecosystems. Natural Cooling Systems The most immediate benefit lies in cooling overheated cities. ____37____ The soil and plants act as natural blockers, reducing surface temperatures by up to 40°C in summer. This significantly decreases the ‌“urban heat island” effect where cities become markedly warmer than surrounding rural areas. Consequently, buildings require less air conditioning. Such temperature regulation also improves air quality by reducing ozone formation. Stormwater Managers Another critical function involves managing stormwater. During heavy rainfalls, traditional roofs cause rapid runoff, often resulting in drainage systems overflowing. Green roofs work like sponges, absorbing about 70% of rainfall. And through their layered structure of soil, drainage mats, and plants, green roofs also filter heavy metals and pollutants from rainwater. ____38____ Biodiversity Sanctuaries (保护区) These raised gardens also create vital habitats for birds, insects, and pollinators (传粉者) in areas where natural spaces are rare. Even simple green roofs with native plants support dozens of insect species. ____39____. Urban ecologists confirm that such mini-ecosystems strengthen city recovery ability by maintaining pollination networks and natural pest control. In cities like London and Chicago, rare bird species have been observed nesting on high-rise green roofs. ____40____ From lowering energy bills to creating wildlife corridors and reducing flood risks green roofs demonstrate how mixing architecture with ecology can build healthier, more sustainable cities for our future. As climate change worsens, these sky-high gardens symbolize humanity’s potential to coexist creatively with nature. A. These habitats play a key role in urban ecology B. Thus, they prevent water pollution effectively C. Green roofs offer multiple environmental benefits D. Research claims that they remove heat islands entirely E. This is achieved by adding plants and soil on rooftops F. Such designs also lower construction costs significantly G. This concept represents a shift from fighting nature to working with it 第三部分 语言运用 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Sixteen-year-old Priya stared at the robotics club’s “Innovation Challenge” poster.

Using vibration sensors and machine learning, Priya designed “WingSpace” — networked devices that ____48____ trapped insects through their wingbeat patterns. When triggered, they emitted (发出) specific frequencies to guide creatures toward open ____49____. Her prototype used recycled smartphone parts and piezoelectric speakers. The school ____50____ dismissed her project as “niche”. But when Priya demonstrated WingSpace during spring migration week, biology teachers gasped. Her sensors detected 87% of trapped insects, ____51____ human spot checks. The system even identified three ____52____ species through their unique vibration signatures. News spread. A local nature reserve ____53____ her technology, and Priya found herself explaining her invention to ____54____ elementary students. “Sometimes,” she smiled, “solutions hide in the spaces between what we see and what we feel.” On graduation day, Priya adjusted her dark glasses, listening to the monarchs fluttering past the auditorium’s open windows — each wingbeat a tiny victory ____55____. 41.

Outside of my classroom I fearfully opened the envelope that held my academic report card. “Please, I just want to pass.” I prayed in my heart. “Promoted to fifth grade,” the report read. I was letting out a loud sigh of relief when my eyes went to the words on the bottom. “Teacher: Mrs. Walitt.” “What?” I looked closer, certain I’d misread, but now the name seemed to jump off the page in 3D. This wasn’t possible. Mrs. Walitt taught first grade. My one comfort about school was that this woman-literally my least favorite teacher on the planet-would never teach me. I was no favorite of hers either. I was self-conscious about my stutter (口吃), and tried to make up for it by speaking and reading out loud. That past year I’d been frequently pulled from my regular class for special tutoring in a room shared with Mrs. Walitt’s first graders. One day early on, Mrs. Walitt called me out from across the room. “Quiet down,” she said. “You’re interrupting us.” I instantly responded. “Oh, just leave me alone!” I said. “You’d better be glad you’re not in my class, young man. I’d put you in your place.” I’d been taught by my parents to respect my teachers. But all my frustration came pouring out of me. I said, “You will never be my teacher.” No matter how badly I did in school, I was sure I wouldn’t have to repeat first grade. For the rest of the year, Mrs. Walitt and I didn’t have much communication. Now Mrs. Walitt was having the last laugh. On the first day of fifth grade, I sat unhappy in the last row. “Welcome to fifth grade,” she announced once we were settled. “I expect students to come to school ready to learn...” She went on and on, talking about the orders. I felt quite bored. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 But the moment she began teaching, an entirely different Mrs. Walitt appeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Mrs. Walitt’s constant encouragement, my grades improved beyond belief. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 宿迁青华中学2025-2026学年度高三年级第一次模拟测试 英 语 试 题 本试卷满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时,先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后,你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1. 5 分,满分7. 5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后,你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will Karen do tonight?

My father taught me to drive almost 40 years ago. I still hear him sometimes. “Watch who gets there first,” he says. “In case of a tie, give way to the car on the right.” Dad loved four-way stops. He saw them as proof that humans could behave rationally (理性地) for everyone’s benefit. I still feel nervous as I come to one, cars moving forward, drivers impatient. I know the rules, but it’s always a discussion. You have to be alert and civil. Letting someone go ahead feels like a favor. But it’s through these small acts of kindness that everyone gets where they need to go. To Dad, four-way stops were civilization in miniature (缩影). Respecting others’ humanity in a car is an act of self-control. When Dad was teaching me, I remember stalling (熄火) in a busy roundabout, looking anxiously in the rear-view mirror. “Don’t worry about them,” Dad said. No one honked. Today, everyone’s in a hurry. Now, I stop at the white line and wonder if I should let a nervous student driver go first. If they wait too long, I expect to hear a horn. Dad believed people want to do right, but that depends on a shared sense of fairness. When kindness is seen as weakness, all bets are off. “Civilization is a thin veneer (表面装饰),” he’d say. I think civil society is more like chemistry: everywhere, but also local. At any one place, it’s weak. But behind the wheel, I’m not powerless. I can uphold the bond here at the four-way stop. This bond isn’t just politeness. It’s the belief that helping others doesn’t cost us. Dad’s lesson was that everyone succeeds when we all move forward, not just a lucky few. One day, the power went out and the traffic lights went dark. Our busy intersection became a sudden four-way stop. It tested how well drivers knew the rules. Dad would have loved it. He never gave up his driver’s license; he let it run out.  I wish he were here beside me, reminding me not to worry about the drivers behind, to yield when I should, and to go when it’s my turn. How I miss him. 24. What did the author’s father see four-way stops as? A. A model of rational cooperation. B. A sign of polite social behavior. C. A tool for managing heavy traffic. D. A test of human patience. 25 Why does the author mention stalling at a busy roundabout? A. To describe the traffic situation. B. To imply his fear of roundabouts. C. To show his father’s driving skills. D. To stress the change in people’s behavior. 26. What does the author suggest about civil society? A. It fades in busy cities. B. It depends on individual actions. C. It is weak and rarely needed. D. It grows through urban planning. 27. What lesson did the father try to teach through driving? A. Following rules is extremely important. B. Driving skills reflect true character. C. Helping others benefits everyone. D. True kindness requires strong control. 【答案】24 A 25. D 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者借父亲教开车的经历，以四路停车路口为切入点，阐释遵守规则、礼让他人的重要性，缅怀父亲并传递互助共赢的道理。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Dad loved four-way stops. He saw them as proof that humans could behave rationally (理性地) for everyone’s benefit. (父亲很喜欢四路停车路口。他认为这是人类能够为了所有人的利益而做出理性行为的证明。)”可知，作者的父亲将四路停车路口看作是人类理性合作的典范。故选A项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“When Dad was teaching me, I remember stalling (熄火) in a busy roundabout, looking anxiously in the rear-view mirror. “Don’t worry about them,” Dad said. No one honked. Today, everyone’s in a hurry. (我记得父亲教我开车时，我在一个繁忙的环岛熄火了，焦急地看着后视镜。父亲说“别担心他们”。那时候没人按喇叭。而如今，每个人都很急躁。)”可知，作者提及环岛熄火的经历，是为了对比过去和现在人们的行为差异，强调人们的行车行为发生了改变。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第八段“I think civil society is more like chemistry: everywhere, but also local. At any one place, it’s weak. But behind the wheel, I’m not powerless. I can uphold the bond here at the four-way stop. (我认为文明社会更像化学反应：存在于各处，但也具有地域性。在任何一个地方，它都很脆弱。但在驾驶时，我并非无能为力。我可以在四路停车路口维系这种联结。)”可知，作者认为文明社会需要依靠每个个体的行动来维系。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第九段“Dad’s lesson was that everyone succeeds when we all move forward, not just a lucky few. (父亲教给我的道理是，当我们所有人都一同前行时，每个人才能成功，而不是只有少数幸运儿。)”以及前文“It’s the belief that helping others doesn’t cost us. (这种联结的核心是坚信帮助他人并不会让我们付出什么代价。)”可知，父亲通过驾驶想教给作者的道理是帮助他人对每个人都有益。故选C项。 C Education experts at the University of South Australia remind teachers that high engagement leads to high returns when it comes to improving student performance. Filming and assessing the content of classrooms across South Australia and Victoria, researchers found in a new study that nearly 70% of student tasks involved superficial learning — simple questions and answers, taking notes, or listening to teachers — rather than activities that engage students on a deeper level. Less than a third of teachers are engaging students in complex learning, limiting student opportunities for critical thinking and problem solving. Dr. Stephenson, a researcher at UniSA, emphasizes that teachers need more support in designing interactive and meaningful lessons that promote deep learning. “The greater the engagement, the deeper the learning. Deep learning helps organize knowledge into conceptual frameworks, enhancing memory and learning outcomes. It also develops innovative thinking. Even small adjustments to lesson plans and teaching techniques can significantly boost student engagement and overall performance,” he explains. At a base level, teachers should consider how they can adjust their existing classroom activities so that more tasks are on the deeper end of learning. For instance, watching a video can be done in various ways: students can watch it passively, take notes using the speaker’s words (active engagement), write questions based on the video’s content (constructive engagement), or watch and discuss the video in a group to generate new ideas (interactive engagement). “Interactive learning motivates students to engage more deeply by making judgments, discussing ideas, and cooperating on solutions,” Dr. Stephenson says. Interestingly, many teachers seem not to know or fully appreciate the importance of how their lesson tasks can stimulate (激发) different modes of student engagement. “Even changing class activities from ‘active’ to ‘constructive’ can go a long way towards improving student leaning,” Dr. Stephenson says. “Teachers should undertake professional development to transform their thinking towards practices that support deeper-learning and better outcomes for students.” 28. What does the underlined word “superficial” probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Interactive. B. Devoted. C. Shallow. D. Accurate. 29. What do education experts advise teachers to do? A. Frequently assess student outcomes. B. Involve students in active learning. C. Increase the use of videos in class. D. Promote students’ planning skills. 30. What can be learned about current class activities? A. They prevent students from distraction. B. They help develop students’ team spirit. C. They make for students’ deep thinking. D. They are in urgent need of transformation. 31. Which activity can improve student performance best? A. Viewing videos. B. Class debates. C. Reading competitions. D. Retelling exercises. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究表明现在学校的课堂活动学生参与度很低，被动学习，需要改变。专家建议教师设计互动参与形式的课堂活动，从而使学生可以深度思考和学习。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后面的解释“simple questions and answers, taking notes, or listening to teachers(简单的问答、记笔记或听老师讲课)”及下文“rather than activities that engage students on a deeper level.(而不是让学生参与更深层次的活动)”可知，该词应该是“简单的，浅显的，表面的”之意，与后面的deeper level意思相反。故选C项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Education experts at the University of South Australia remind teachers that high engagement leads to high returns when it comes to improving student performance.(南澳大利亚大学的教育专家提醒教师，在提高学生表现方面，高参与度会带来高回报)”及第三段“Dr. Stephenson, a researcher at UniSA, emphasizes that teachers need more support in designing interactive and meaningful lessons that promote deep learning.(南澳大学的研究员斯蒂芬森博士强调，教师在设计促进深度学习的互动和有意义的课程时需要更多的支持)”可推测，专家们建议教师们在课堂上多设计互动的活动，让学生积极参与课堂主动学习，而不是被动听课。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Filming and assessing the content of classrooms across South Australia and Victoria, researchers found in a new study that nearly 70% of student tasks involved superficial learning – simple questions and answers, taking notes, or listening to teachers — rather than activities that engage students on a deeper level. Less than a third of teachers are engaging students in complex learning, limiting student opportunities for critical thinking and problem solving.(研究人员对南澳大利亚州和维多利亚州的课堂内容进行了拍摄和评估，他们在一项新研究中发现，近70%的学生任务都是肤浅的学习——简单的问答、记笔记或听老师讲课——而不是让学生参与更深层次的活动。只有不到三分之一的教师让学生参与复杂的学习，这限制了学生批判性思维和解决问题的机会)”及最后一段“Teachers should undertake professional development to transform their thinking towards practices that support deeper-learning and better outcomes for students.(教师应该进行专业发展，将他们的思维转变为实践，支持更深入的学习，为学生带来更好的结果)”可推测，作者认为现在的课堂活动太简单不能使学生积极参与课堂学习，限制了学生批判性思维和解决问题的机会；由此可知，当前的课堂活动迫切需要改变。故选D项。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段末“or watch and discuss the video in a group to generate new ideas (interactive engagement)(或者在小组中观看和讨论视频以产生新的想法（互动参与）)”及“Interactive learning motivates students to engage more deeply by making judgments, discussing ideas, and cooperating on solutions(互动式学习通过做出判断、讨论想法和合作解决方案，激励学生更深入地参与其中)”可知，课堂讨论是互动参与的活动，可以使学生学习效果更好。故选B项。 D 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 usable 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,” be says. Being cheaply and easily 3D printable means “If people love it, they can make it. That’s enough.” 32. 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 multiple materials for flexibility. 33. What is Perla Maiolino’s attitude towards the robot’s design? A. Doubtful. B. Unconcerned. C. Critical. D. Positive. 34. What aspect of the robot is expected to be improved in future research? A. Its structural complexity. B. Its ability to avoid barriers. C. Its data processing capacity. D. Its use of electronic parts. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. A 3D-Printed Robot with Four Legs B. The Advantages of Air-Powered Robots C. The Speed and Limitations of a Soft Robot D. An Air-Powered Robot Without Electronics 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了加州大学圣地亚哥分校工程师研发的一款全柔软、3D打印且无需电子设备的机器人。它以空气为动力，整体由塑料一次性打印而成，虽有防水、稳定性好等优势，但也存在速度慢、只能直线移动等局限，团队正致力于改进。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“Remarkably, the entire robot is printed as one single piece from plastic, a process taking about two and a half days.(值得注意的是，整个机器人是用塑料一体打印出来的，这个过程大约需要两天半的时间)”可知，这款机器人的一个关键特征是它由塑料一体打印而成。故选B项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“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.(牛津大学的软体机器人专家Perla Maiolino认为这种设计“相当有趣”，并强调了它独特的单一材料、整体构造，这与典型的多部件组装机器人不同)”可推知，Perla Maiolino对这款机器人的设计是持积极态度的。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段中“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.(它也只能直线移动，还不能转弯或避开障碍物。翟的团队正积极研发更快的版本，并计划开发转向系统，有可能利用可控气流使其像简单的自动驾驶设备一样移动)”可知，翟的团队正积极研发更快的版本，并计划开发转向系统，由此推断，未来研究有望改进机器人避开障碍物的能力。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是文章第一段“A fully soft, 3D-printed robot that operates without any electronics has been developed by engineers at the University of California, San Diego.

Across global cities, rooftops are being transformed into gardens, creating what we call green roofs. ____36____ Originally popularized in Germany in the 1960s, this innovative approach is now a worldwide nature-based solution to urban environmental crises, demonstrating how cities can harmonize with ecosystems. Natural Cooling Systems The most immediate benefit lies in cooling overheated cities. ____37____ The soil and plants act as natural blockers, reducing surface temperatures by up to 40°C in summer. This significantly decreases the ‌“urban heat island” effect where cities become markedly warmer than surrounding rural areas. Consequently, buildings require less air conditioning. Such temperature regulation also improves air quality by reducing ozone formation. Stormwater Managers Another critical function involves managing stormwater. During heavy rainfalls, traditional roofs cause rapid runoff, often resulting in drainage systems overflowing. Green roofs work like sponges, absorbing about 70% of rainfall. And through their layered structure of soil, drainage mats, and plants, green roofs also filter heavy metals and pollutants from rainwater. ____38____ Biodiversity Sanctuaries (保护区) These raised gardens also create vital habitats for birds, insects, and pollinators (传粉者) in areas where natural spaces are rare. Even simple green roofs with native plants support dozens of insect species. ____39____. Urban ecologists confirm that such mini-ecosystems strengthen city recovery ability by maintaining pollination networks and natural pest control. In cities like London and Chicago, rare bird species have been observed nesting on high-rise green roofs. ____40____ From lowering energy bills to creating wildlife corridors and reducing flood risks, green roofs demonstrate how mixing architecture with ecology can build healthier, more sustainable cities for our future. As climate change worsens, these sky-high gardens symbolize humanity’s potential to coexist creatively with nature. A. These habitats play a key role in urban ecology B. Thus, they prevent water pollution effectively C. Green roofs offer multiple environmental benefits D. Research claims that they remove heat islands entirely E. This is achieved by adding plants and soil on rooftops F. Such designs also lower construction costs significantly G. This concept represents a shift from fighting nature to working with it 【答案】36. G 37. E 38. B 39. A 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了绿色屋顶这一创新概念，阐述了它在降温、管理雨水、保护生物多样性等方面的环境益处，体现了建筑与生态结合对城市可持续发展的作用。 【36题详解】 上文“Across global cities, rooftops are being transformed into gardens, creating what we call green roofs.(在全球的城市中，屋顶正在被改造成花园，形成了我们所说的绿色屋顶)”引出绿色屋顶这一概念，G选项“This concept represents a shift from fighting nature to working with it.(这一概念代表了从与自然对抗到与自然合作的转变)”进一步说明绿色屋顶概念的意义，与上文衔接自然，解释了这种转变的含义。故选G项。 【37题详解】 上文“The most immediate benefit lies in cooling overheated cities.(最直接的好处在于为过热的城市降温)”指出绿色屋顶的降温好处，E选项“This is achieved by adding plants and soil on rooftops.(这是通过在屋顶上添加植物和土壤来实现的)”说明实现降温的具体方式，与上文逻辑紧密，解释了如何达到降温效果。故选E项。 【38题详解】 上文“Green roofs work like sponges, absorbing about 70% of rainfall. And through their layered structure of soil, drainage mats, and plants, green roofs also filter heavy metals and pollutants from rainwater.(绿色屋顶像海绵一样，吸收大约70%的降雨。通过土壤、排水垫和植物的分层结构，绿色屋顶还能过滤雨水中的重金属和污染物)”介绍了绿色屋顶对雨水的吸收和过滤作用，B选项“Thus, they prevent water pollution effectively.(因此，它们能有效防止水污染)”说明这种作用带来的结果，与上文因果关系明确。故选B项。 【39题详解】 上文“These raised gardens also create vital habitats for birds, insects, and pollinators (传粉者) in areas where natural spaces are rare. Even simple green roofs with native plants support dozens of insect species.(这些高架花园还为鸟类、昆虫和传粉者在自然空间稀缺的地区创造了重要的栖息地。即使是种植本土植物的简单绿色屋顶也能支持数十种昆虫物种)”强调了绿色屋顶对生物栖息地的创造作用，A选项“These habitats play a key role in urban ecology(这些栖息地在城市生态中起着关键作用)”进一步说明这些栖息地的重要性，与上文话题一致，逻辑连贯。故选A项。 【40题详解】 下文“From lowering energy bills to creating wildlife corridors and reducing flood risks, green roofs demonstrate how mixing architecture with ecology can build healthier, more sustainable cities for our future.(从降低能源账单到创造野生动物通道和降低洪水风险，绿色屋顶展示了如何将建筑与生态结合，为我们的未来建设更健康、更可持续的城市)”列举了绿色屋顶的诸多好处，C选项“Green roofs offer multiple environmental benefits(绿色屋顶提供多种环境益处)”是对下文内容的概括总结，引出下文具体好处的介绍。故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Sixteen-year-old Priya stared at the robotics club’s “Innovation Challenge” poster.

Originally from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Tangut people during their migrations gradually absorbed cultural ____57____ (influence) from other ethnic groups, including the Han, Tubo, and Huihu, as well as from the nomadic Khitan people.

In traditional culture, the bull symbolizes agriculture. The Xixia gilt bronze bull, with its strong build, raised horns ____60____ powerful, flowing muscles, ____61____ (appear) almost lifelike—its form seeming to breathe under shifting light. This striking statue stands as a masterpiece of Xixia metalwork, reflecting both ____62____ (exception) craftsmanship and the advanced civilization ____63____ it.

Outside of my classroom I fearfully opened the envelope that held my academic report card. “Please, I just want to pass.” I prayed in my heart. “Promoted to fifth grade,” the report read. I was letting out a loud sigh of relief when my eyes went to the words on the bottom. “Teacher: Mrs. Walitt.” “What?” I looked closer, certain I’d misread, but now the name seemed to jump off the page in 3D. This wasn’t possible. Mrs. Walitt taught first grade. My one comfort about school was that this woman-literally my least favorite teacher on the planet-would never teach me. I was no favorite of hers either. I was self-conscious about my stutter (口吃), and tried to make up for it by speaking and reading out loud. That past year I’d been frequently pulled from my regular class for special tutoring in a room shared with Mrs. Walitt’s first graders. One day early on, Mrs. Walitt called me out from across the room. “Quiet down,” she said. “You’re interrupting us.” I instantly responded. “Oh, just leave me alone!” I said. “You’d better be glad you’re not in my class, young man. I’d put you in your place.” I’d been taught by my parents to respect my teachers. But all my frustration came pouring out of me. I said, “You will never be my teacher.” No matter how badly I did in school, I was sure I wouldn’t have to repeat first grade. For the rest of the year, Mrs. Walitt and I didn’t have much communication. Now Mrs. Walitt was having the last laugh. On the first day of fifth grade, I sat unhappy in the last row. “Welcome to fifth grade,” she announced once we were settled. “I expect students to come to school ready to learn...” She went on and on, talking about the orders. I felt quite bored. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 But the moment she began teaching, an entirely different Mrs. Walitt appeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Mrs. Walitt’s constant encouragement, my grades improved beyond belief. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 But the moment she began teaching, an entirely different Mrs. Walitt appeared. I had to admit she could be funny and engaging. Through her vivid descriptions, the boring knowledge came to life. I hung on Mrs. Walitt’s words so much that at one point, I forgot myself and shot up my hand. Instead of feeling bothered, she was interested in what I said. Mrs. Walitt always had the power to keep us on the edge of our seats. Gradually, I got used to participating in her class with her praise and encouragement. To my amazement, I was stuttering less and less. With Mrs. Walitt’s constant encouragement, my grades improved beyond belief. For the first time in my life, I was bringing home A’s. Mrs. Walitt moved me from the lower reading and writing level to the advanced. I beamed with pride and worked even harder. More than that, Mrs. Walitt made me feel like I could accomplish anything with enough focus. Fifth grade had been my favorite year of school ever. On the last day, I opened my report card. “Promoted to the sixth grade,” I read. “Advanced class.” And I knew I owed it all to Mrs. Walitt. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了四年级最后一天，作者得知五年级老师是最不喜欢的沃尔蒂夫人，她曾教一年级，作者因口吃和她有过冲突。但五年级时，她教学风趣，鼓励作者参与课堂，让作者口吃减轻、成绩大幅提升，还进入高级班。作者深知这都归功于她。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但当她开始授课时，一个完全不同的沃尔蒂夫人出现了。”可知，第一段可描写沃尔蒂夫人的课吸引了作者，作者开始专注上课，口吃也减轻了。 ②由第二段首句内容“在沃尔蒂夫人不断鼓励下，我的成绩突飞猛进，简直超乎想象。”可知，第二段可描写作者成绩大幅提升，还进入高级班，作者深知这都归功于沃尔蒂夫人。 2.续写线索：沃尔蒂夫人上课——作者被吸引——专心听课——口吃减轻——成绩提升——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①实现：accomplish/achieve ②参加：participate in/take part in ③习惯于：get used to/get accustomed to 情绪类 ①惊讶：amazement/surprise ②烦恼：bothered/annoyed 【点睛】[高分句型1] Instead of feeling bothered, she was interested in what I said.（运用了what引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] I hung on Mrs. Walitt’s words so much that at one point, I forgot myself and shot up my hand.（运用了结果状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Karen, i'm going to swimming in the gym tonight.
