Born in 1922, Yang was brought up surrounded by the Tsinghua campus, where his father was a math professor. After finishing his undergraduate degree, he obtained his master’s degree from Tsinghua. He enrolled in the University of Chicago in the United States to pursue a doctorate in 1946 and was strongly influenced by Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi, who had won the same Nobel Prize in 1938. He later became a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Yang won the Nobel Prize in 1957 with Tsung-Dao Lee for their investigation of the so-called parity laws that led to “important discoveries regarding the elementary particles,” according to the Nobel Prize website. They were the first Chinese-born Nobel Prize winners in physics. Professor Yang was deeply devoted to his homeland, making remarkable contributions to China’s scientific and educational developments. His visit to China in 1971 led to a wave of visits by overseas scholars, earning him recognition as the pioneer in building the bridge of academic exchange between China and the United States. He later proposed the restoration and strengthening of basic scientific research to China’s central leadership. He also raised funds to establish the “Committee on Educational Exchange with China”, which has continuously sponsored nearly 100Chinese scholars for advanced studies in the United States. These scholars later became the backbone of China’ s scientific and technological development. He undertook extensive work to promote China’s scientific and technological exchange and progress, offering advice and exercising significant influence on major Chinese scientific projects and the formulation (制定) of science and education policies. After returning to Tsinghua University in 1999, he took on developing the Institute for Advanced Study as his new mission. He poured enormous effort into advancing fundamental disciplines like physics and cultivating talents at Tsinghua, making remarkable contributions that greatly impacted the reform and development of Chinese higher education. Professor Yang’s life stands as a timeless chapter in human history — one that shines not only for China but for the global community of thinkers and innovators. 4. What is the article mainly about? A. Yang’s lifelong contributions to China. B. Yang’s research on elementary particles. C. Yang’s influence on global science policy. D. Yang’s educational background in America. 5. Why was Yang’s 1971 visit significant? A. It focused on political dialogue. B. It promoted cultural activities in China. C. It aimed to win a Nobel Prize for China. D. It initiated academic exchanges with the US. 6. What did Yang do for Chinese scholars? A. He funded their advanced studies abroad. B. He helped them win international awards. C. He taught them advanced physics personally. D. He offered them jobs in American universities. 7. How does the author view Yang’s contributions? A. It is primarily for Chinese scientists. B. It belongs to the whole world. C. It lies in his Nobel Prize achievement. D. It is mainly about educational reform. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章记述了诺贝尔奖得主物理学家杨振宁的生平事迹及其对中外科学界与教育事业作出的卓越贡献。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第四段中心句“Professor Yang was deeply devoted to his homeland, making remarkable contributions to China’s scientific and educational developments.(杨教授对祖国深怀热爱，为中国的科学和教育事业作出了卓越的贡献。)”和第五段中心句“After returning to Tsinghua University in 1999, he took on developing the Institute for Advanced Study as his new mission. (1999年回到清华大学后，他把发展高等研究院作为自己的新使命。)”可知，文章重点展现杨振宁教授毕生对祖国的奉献。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“His visit to China in 1971 led to a wave of visits by overseas scholars, earning him recognition as the pioneer in building the bridge of academic exchange between China and the United States.(1971年，他对中国的访问引发了一波海外学者的访问浪潮，他被公认为建立中美学术交流桥梁的先驱。)”可知，此次访问开创了中美学术交流。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“ He also raised funds to establish the “Committee on Educational Exchange with China”, which has continuously sponsored nearly 100Chinese scholars for advanced studies in the United States.(他还筹集资金成立了“中美教育交流委员会”，该委员会已连续资助了近100名中国学者前往美国深造)”可知，他为学者提供海外研修资助。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据末段作者评价“Professor Yang’s life stands as a timeless chapter in human history—one that shines not only for China but for the global community of thinkers and innovators.(杨教授的一生是人类历史上永恒的篇章，不仅为中国，也为全球的思想家和创新者闪耀着光辉。)”可知，其贡献具有世界意义。故选B。 C “Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back,” runs an old joke, “and he’ll be speechless.” This rests on a national stereotype: Italians are talkative and emotional, and all that arm-waggling supposedly goes to prove it. Susan Meadow of the University of Chicago has a rather different view. Emotions come out in lots of ways: facial expressions, posture, tone of voice and so on. But people are doing something different when they use gestures with speech, which she sums up in the title of her new book, “Thinking with Your Hands”. It is a masterly tour through a lifetime’s research. Virtually everyone gestures, not just Italians. Experimental subjects, told after a research session that they were being watched for gestures, apologize for not having made any — but were doing so the entire time. People born blind gesture when they speak, including to each other. A woman born without arms but with “phantom limb syndrome (幻肢综合征)” describes how she uses her phantom arms when she talks — but not when she walks. All this suggests that cognition (认知) is, to some extent, “embodied”; thinking is not all done in your head. In fact, gestures that accompany speech are a second channel of information. Subjects watch a film in which a cat runs but are told to lie and say it jumped. They do so in words — while their hands make a running motion. People who say they believe in sexual equality but gesture with their hands lower when talking about women are not indicating women’s height; they can be shown to have biases (偏见) of which they may be unaware. In “The Crown”, a historical drama series, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may betray her real emotions, which could be dangerous; they are tied together so she can learn to speak without gesticulating. No one who reads Susan’s book could ever again think that gesturing shows only a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is a complex aid to both. 8. Why does the author mention the old joke in Paragraph 1? A. To present an argument. B. To describe a scene. C. To lead in the topic. D. To clarify a doubt. 9. Which statement will Susan Meadow probably agree with? A. The disabled seldom use gestures. B. Gestures literally embody cognition. C. Thinking only occurs in the brain. D. Gestures are improper in communication. 10. What does the author try to prove in the last two paragraphs? A. Gestures may express what the speaker really thinks. B. People are unaware of the meanings of their gestures. C. Gesturing during speech shows only a lack of control. D. Speakers can lie more easily with the help of gestures. 11. Which of the following is the best summary of the text? A. Speech is a direct channel of information. B. Gestures make a vital form of communication. C. Italian’s body language represents a national stereotype. D. “Thinking with Your Hands” is a lifetime’s research for Susan Meadow. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了手势在交流和思考中的重要性，打破了只有意大利人才手势丰富的刻板印象，并通过实验和研究证明了手势是信息的第二渠道，能够真实反映人们的认知和想法。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“‘Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back,’ runs an old joke, ‘and he’ll be speechless.’ This rests on a national stereotype: Italians are talkative and emotional, and all that arm-waggling supposedly goes to prove it.(“把意大利人的手绑在背后，”一个老笑话说道，“他就会说不出话来。”这是基于一种国家刻板印象：意大利人健谈且情绪化，所有那些挥舞手臂的动作据说都证明了这一点)”可知，作者在第一段提到这个老笑话是为了引出关于意大利人手势丰富、健谈且情绪化的刻板印象，进而引出下文对于手势在交流和思考中作用的探讨。因此，作者提到这个老笑话是为了引入话题。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Susan Meadow of the University of Chicago has a rather different view. Emotions come out in lots of ways: facial expressions, posture, tone of voice and so on. But people are doing something different when they use gestures with speech, which she sums up in the title of her new book, “Thinking with Your Hands”.(芝加哥大学的Susan Meadow有不同的看法，情绪以多种方式表现出来：面部表情、姿势、语调等等。但当人们用手势配合言语时，他们就在做不同的事情了。她在她的新书《用手思考》的标题中总结了这一点)”和第三段中“All this suggests that cognition (认知) is, to some extent, ‘embodied’; thinking is not all done in your head.(所有这些都表明，认知在某种程度上是‘具身的’；思考并不完全是在你的头脑中进行的)”可知，Susan Meadow认为人们在使用手势与语言时实际上在做一些不同的事情，并强调手势是思考和交流的一部分，思考并不完全是在头脑中进行，人们用手势配合言语时是在“用手思考”，因此，她可能会同意“手势实际上体现了认知”这一说法。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“In fact, gestures that accompany speech are a second channel of information.(事实上，伴随言语的手势是信息的第二渠道)”和“People who say they believe in sexual equality but gesture with their hands lower when talking about women are not indicating women’s height; they can be shown to have biases (偏见) of which they may be unaware.(那些说他们相信性别平等但在谈论女性时手势较低的人，其实并不是在指示女性的身高；这表明他们可能有自己未曾意识到的偏见)”；最后一段中“In ‘The Crown’, a historical drama series, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may betray her real emotions, which could be dangerous; they are tied together so she can learn to speak without gesticulating.(在历史剧《王冠》中，戴安娜王妃被警告说，她的手可能会泄露她的真实情感，这可能是危险的；它们被绑在一起，这样她就可以学习不用手势说话了)”可知，作者通过举例说明了手势能够真实反映人们的想法和偏见，即使人们口头上说的和内心想的不一致。因此，作者在最后两段试图证明手势可能表达出说话者真正的想法。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，尤其结合第四段中“In fact, gestures that accompany speech are a second channel of information.(事实上，伴随言语的手势是信息的第二渠道)”和最后一段中“No one who reads Susan’s book could ever again think that gesturing shows only a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is a complex aid to both.(读过苏珊这本书的人再也不会认为手势只是缺乏控制的表现。它是关于思考和交流的，是对两者的复杂辅助)”可知，文章主要讲述了手势在交流和思考中的重要性，打破了关于手势的刻板印象，并通过实验和研究证明了手势是信息的第二渠道，能够真实反映人们的认知和想法。因此，“手势是交流的一种重要形式”是文章内容的最佳概括。故选B项。 D For most of the traditional restaurants, it is challenging to deal with the increasing number of customers. But for Li Xianghui’s restaurants, things are different. Owning four restaurants, Li bought a number of cooking machines, which can operate tirelessly day and night. Packed in boxes, all dishes are semi-finished (半加工的) and can be served within minutes after they are put into the machines. Automation (自动化) is the future of the food service industry. It can reduce labor cost pressure in traditional restaurants and improve efficiency. Besides, automated equipment follows certain set processes, which can make sure of the same taste for each order. The cooking machine can make about 2, 000 recipes (食谱), according to Li. Once seated, customers scan a QR code (二维码) and use an app to make their meal selection and pay. With the only waiter putting the semi-finished food kit into the machine, the meal will be served in minutes. What’s worth mentioning is that the robot “cook” has attracted an increasing number of customers since the restaurant’s opening, as many customers say the taste is good and the price is not expensive. Researchers from the University of Cambridge have trained their robot “cook” to make a judgement about the saltiness of a dish at different stages of the chewing (咀嚼) process, like a similar process in humans, according to their research published in the journal Frontiers in Robotics and AI. Their results could be useful in the development of automated or semi-automated food preparation by helping robots to learn what tastes good and what doesn’t, making them better “cooks”. “If robots are to be used for certain aspects of food preparation, it’s important that they are able to “taste” what they’re cooking,” said Grzegorz Sozacki, the paper’s first author. 12. How does the author introduce Li’s restaurant in paragraph 1? A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples. C. By making a contrast. D. By quoting someone’s words. 13. What feature of the cooking machines helps ensure the same dish taste? A. They can work long without rest. B. They follow fixed operating steps. C. They can make 2,000 different recipes. D. They work with semi-finished food kits. 14. What is the main attraction for the restaurant’s customers? A. Its wide variety of dish choices. B. Its convenience in placing orders. C. Its high popularity on the internet. D. Its delicious food at reasonable prices. 15. What is the main purpose of the research by University of Cambridge researchers? A. To enable robots to check the flavor. B. To reduce robots’ operation costs. C. To train robots to cook more dishes. D. To improve robots’ cooking time. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自动化烹饪设备在餐饮行业的应用优势及剑桥大学相关技术研究进展。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For most of the traditional restaurants, it is challenging to deal with the increasing number of customers. But for Li Xianghui’s restaurants, things are different.(对于大多数传统餐厅来说，应对日益增多的顾客是一项挑战。但对于李向辉的餐厅来说，情况却不同)”可知，作者通过将传统餐厅的困境与李向辉餐厅的情况进行对比，引出下文对自动化烹饪设备的介绍。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Besides, automated equipment follows certain set processes, which can make sure of the same taste for each order.(此外，自动化设备遵循特定的固定流程，这能确保每份订单的口味一致)”可知，烹饪设备遵循固定操作步骤的特点，有助于保证菜品口味统一。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“What’s worth mentioning is that the robot ‘cook’ has attracted an increasing number of customers since the restaurant’s opening, as many customers say the taste is good and the price is not expensive.(值得一提的是，自餐厅开业以来，机器人“厨师”吸引了越来越多的顾客，因为许多顾客表示味道不错，价格也不贵)”可知，餐厅对顾客的主要吸引力是美味的食物和合理的价格。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Their results could be useful in the development of automated or semi-automated food preparation by helping robots to learn what tastes good and what doesn’t, making them better ‘cooks’.(他们的研究结果有助于自动化或半自动化食物制备的发展，帮助机器人了解什么好吃、什么不好吃，使它们成为更好的“厨师”)”可知，剑桥大学研究人员的主要目的是让机器人能够检测食物的风味。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Improving English reading skills is essential not only for academic success but also for professional growth and personal enjoyment.

The excitement filled the hallways as students from every class began preparing for this popular event. The competition held a special place in our school’s tradition, known for its wonderful performances and creative storytelling. However, due to the busy schedule, the first play could be performed in Chinese or English. This activity set the stage for serious competition between my team and Jim’s, because we both chose to act the same classic scene from Journey to the West. Jim was once an exchange student to America with excellent English skills, which allowed him to practice their scene effortlessly in English. Meanwhile, our team shone not in language but in performance artistry. Traditional instruments like pipa and hand drums set the scene for our drama. Several talented dancers among us gracefully acted beautiful monsters (妖怪) and my own role as Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, stood out. I acted out his spirit with fair imitation (模仿) of his voice and actions, and even performed impressive movements that left audiences in amazement. The competition was serious, yet our efforts paid off when our performance earned widespread praise from the judges, leading us to the final round. But here lay the challenge: We had to translate all our lines into English, a task discouraging for our team. Helpless, I turned to Jim, who had already finished the lines in English. Unfortunately, still sad for their unexpected failure, Jim turned me down. Refusing to give up, I came up with a plan. With my heart pounding and hands sweaty, I slid into (溜进) Jim’s classroom during the lunch break when no one was around. The room was quiet, with only the soft sound of papers and noises from the hallway. I carefully took Jim’s English play, went back to my seat and decided to copy it, believing it was the only way to save our hard work. 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。 As I was busy copying, Jim appeared before me. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the final, we were fully prepared with Jim’s lines written for us. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: As I was busy copying, Jim appeared before me. My heart skipped a beat as I looked up to see his face with a mix of surprise and disappointment. “What are you doing?” he asked, his voice firm yet sad. Caught in the act, I felt ashamed and explained my desperation and the pressure our team was under. “I understand,” he said, “but this isn’t the way. Let’s work together to make this better.” His words caught me off guard, but I saw the sincerity in his eyes. I felt grateful for his understanding and willingness to help. On the day of the final, we were fully prepared with Jim’s lines written for us. As the curtain rose, our combined efforts shone through. The English dialogue, polished by Jim, flowed smoothly, improving the performance. The traditional instruments and graceful dances added a unique charm, harmonizing perfectly with the English narrative. The audience was impressed by our interpretation of Journey to the West. When the winners were announced, we were excited to hear our team’s name. This experience taught me the value of honesty and collaboration. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。学校举办年度英语戏剧比赛，作者的团队和吉姆队都选《西游记》经典片段表演。作者的团队进决赛后需将台词译成英文，求助吉姆遭拒作者便偷偷溜进其教室抄其英文剧本。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“当我正忙着抄写时，吉姆出现在我面前。”可知，第一段可以描写作者正偷偷抄剧本时被吉姆发现，作者感到羞愧并解释原因，吉姆提出一起合作改进，展现出冲突与和解的过程。 ②由第二段句首内容“决赛那天，我们已经准备好了吉姆为我们写的台词。”可知，第二段可以描写决赛当天作者的团队在吉姆帮助下充分准备，表演时中英文结合完美，最终获胜，升华出诚实与合作的价值这一主旨。 2.续写线索：偷偷抄剧本被发现——羞愧解释并获合作提议——决赛充分准备——完美表演获胜——领悟诚实与合作价值 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/make an explanation/account for ②一起工作：work together/collaborate/cooperate ③升起：rise/ascend 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/amazement/astonishment ②兴奋：excited/thrilled 【点睛】【高分句型1】My heart skipped a beat as I looked up to see his face with a mix of surprise and disappointment.

B Chinese Nobel Prize-winning physicist Zhen Ning Yang, one of the most influential scientists in modern physics, passed away in Beijing on October 18 due to illness at the age of 103. Born in 1922, Yang was brought up surrounded by the Tsinghua campus, where his father was a math professor. After finishing his undergraduate degree, he obtained his master’s degree from Tsinghua. He enrolled in the University of Chicago in the United States to pursue a doctorate in 1946 and was strongly influenced by Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi, who had won the same Nobel Prize in 1938. He later became a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Yang won the Nobel Prize in 1957 with Tsung-Dao Lee for their investigation of the so-called parity laws that led to “important discoveries regarding the elementary particles,” according to the Nobel Prize website. They were the first Chinese-born Nobel Prize winners in physics. Professor Yang was deeply devoted to his homeland, making remarkable contributions to China’s scientific and educational developments. His visit to China in 1971 led to a wave of visits by overseas scholars, earning him recognition as the pioneer in building the bridge of academic exchange between China and the United States. He later proposed the restoration and strengthening of basic scientific research to China’s central leadership. He also raised funds to establish the “Committee on Educational Exchange with China”, which has continuously sponsored nearly 100Chinese scholars for advanced studies in the United States. These scholars later became the backbone of China’ s scientific and technological development. He undertook extensive work to promote China’s scientific and technological exchange and progress, offering advice and exercising significant influence on major Chinese scientific projects and the formulation (制定) of science and education policies. After returning to Tsinghua University in 1999, he took on developing the Institute for Advanced Study as his new mission. He poured enormous effort into advancing fundamental disciplines like physics and cultivating talents at Tsinghua, making remarkable contributions that greatly impacted the reform and development of Chinese higher education. Professor Yang’s life stands as a timeless chapter in human history — one that shines not only for China but for the global community of thinkers and innovators. 4. What is the article mainly about? A. Yang’s lifelong contributions to China. B. Yang’s research on elementary particles. C. Yang’s influence on global science policy. D. Yang’s educational background in America. 5. Why was Yang’s 1971 visit significant? A. It focused on political dialogue. B. It promoted cultural activities in China. C. It aimed to win a Nobel Prize for China. D. It initiated academic exchanges with the US. 6. What did Yang do for Chinese scholars? A. He funded their advanced studies abroad. B. He helped them win international awards. C. He taught them advanced physics personally. D. He offered them jobs in American universities. 7. How does the author view Yang’s contributions? A. It is primarily for Chinese scientists. B. It belongs to the whole world. C. It lies in his Nobel Prize achievement. D. It is mainly about educational reform. C “Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back,” runs an old joke, “and he’ll be speechless.” This rests on a national stereotype: Italians are talkative and emotional, and all that arm-waggling supposedly goes to prove it. Susan Meadow of the University of Chicago has a rather different view. Emotions come out in lots of ways: facial expressions, posture, tone of voice and so on. But people are doing something different when they use gestures with speech, which she sums up in the title of her new book, “Thinking with Your Hands”. It is a masterly tour through a lifetime’s research. Virtually everyone gestures, not just Italians. Experimental subjects, told after a research session that they were being watched for gestures, apologize for not having made any — but were doing so the entire time. People born blind gesture when they speak, including to each other. A woman born without arms but with “phantom limb syndrome (幻肢综合征)” describes how she uses her phantom arms when she talks — but not when she walks. All this suggests that cognition (认知) is, to some extent, “embodied”; thinking is not all done in your head. In fact, gestures that accompany speech are a second channel of information. Subjects watch a film in which a cat runs but are told to lie and say it jumped. They do so in words — while their hands make a running motion. People who say they believe in sexual equality but gesture with their hands lower when talking about women are not indicating women’s height; they can be shown to have biases (偏见) of which they may be unaware. In “The Crown”, a historical drama series, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may betray her real emotions, which could be dangerous; they are tied together so she can learn to speak without gesticulating. No one who reads Susan’s book could ever again think that gesturing shows only a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is a complex aid to both. 8. Why does the author mention the old joke in Paragraph 1? A. To present an argument. B. To describe a scene. C. To lead in the topic. D. To clarify a doubt. 9. Which statement will Susan Meadow probably agree with? A. The disabled seldom use gestures. B. Gestures literally embody cognition. C. Thinking only occurs in the brain. D. Gestures are improper in communication. 10. What does the author try to prove in the last two paragraphs? A. Gestures may express what the speaker really thinks. B. People are unaware of the meanings of their gestures. C. Gesturing during speech shows only a lack of control. D. Speakers can lie more easily with the help of gestures. 11. Which of the following is the best summary of the text? A. Speech is a direct channel of information. B. Gestures make a vital form of communication. C. Italian’s body language represents a national stereotype. D. “Thinking with Your Hands” is a lifetime’s research for Susan Meadow. D For most of the traditional restaurants, it is challenging to deal with the increasing number of customers. But for Li Xianghui’s restaurants, things are different. Owning four restaurants, Li bought a number of cooking machines, which can operate tirelessly day and night. Packed in boxes, all dishes are semi-finished (半加工的) and can be served within minutes after they are put into the machines. Automation (自动化) is the future of the food service industry. It can reduce labor cost pressure in traditional restaurants and improve efficiency. Besides, automated equipment follows certain set processes, which can make sure of the same taste for each order. The cooking machine can make about 2, 000 recipes (食谱), according to Li. Once seated, customers scan a QR code (二维码) and use an app to make their meal selection and pay. With the only waiter putting the semi-finished food kit into the machine, the meal will be served in minutes. What’s worth mentioning is that the robot “cook” has attracted an increasing number of customers since the restaurant’s opening, as many customers say the taste is good and the price is not expensive. Researchers from the University of Cambridge have trained their robot “cook” to make a judgement about the saltiness of a dish at different stages of the chewing (咀嚼) process, like a similar process in humans, according to their research published in the journal Frontiers in Robotics and AI. Their results could be useful in the development of automated or semi-automated food preparation by helping robots to learn what tastes good and what doesn’t, making them better “cooks”. “If robots are to be used for certain aspects of food preparation, it’s important that they are able to “taste” what they’re cooking,” said Grzegorz Sozacki, the paper’s first author. 12. How does the author introduce Li’s restaurant in paragraph 1? A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples. C. By making a contrast. D. By quoting someone’s words. 13. What feature of the cooking machines helps ensure the same dish taste? A. They can work long without rest. B. They follow fixed operating steps. C. They can make 2,000 different recipes. D. They work with semi-finished food kits. 14. What is the main attraction for the restaurant’s customers? A. Its wide variety of dish choices. B. Its convenience in placing orders. C. Its high popularity on the internet. D. Its delicious food at reasonable prices. 15. What is the main purpose of the research by University of Cambridge researchers? A. To enable robots to check the flavor. B. To reduce robots’ operation costs. C. To train robots to cook more dishes. D.

The excitement filled the hallways as students from every class began preparing for this popular event. The competition held a special place in our school’s tradition, known for its wonderful performances and creative storytelling. However, due to the busy schedule, the first play could be performed in Chinese or English. This activity set the stage for serious competition between my team and Jim’s, because we both chose to act the same classic scene from Journey to the West. Jim was once an exchange student to America with excellent English skills, which allowed him to practice their scene effortlessly in English. Meanwhile, our team shone not in language but in performance artistry. Traditional instruments like pipa and hand drums set the scene for our drama. Several talented dancers among us gracefully acted beautiful monsters (妖怪) and my own role as Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, stood out. I acted out his spirit with fair imitation (模仿) of his voice and actions, and even performed impressive movements that left audiences in amazement. The competition was serious, yet our efforts paid off when our performance earned widespread praise from the judges, leading us to the final round. But here lay the challenge: We had to translate all our lines into English, a task discouraging for our team. Helpless, I turned to Jim, who had already finished the lines in English. Unfortunately, still sad for their unexpected failure, Jim turned me down. Refusing to give up, I came up with a plan. With my heart pounding and hands sweaty, I slid into (溜进) Jim’s classroom during the lunch break when no one was around. The room was quiet, with only the soft sound of papers and noises from the hallway. I carefully took Jim’s English play, went back to my seat and decided to copy it, believing it was the only way to save our hard work. 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。 As I was busy copying, Jim appeared before me. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the final, we were fully prepared with Jim’s lines written for us. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
