B Beginning in Venice on April 26,2022, Vienna Cammarota, a simple grandmother in her 70s as well as a well-known hiker, arrived in China last month, the last stop of her journey retracing the route of Marco Polo to the East, covering more than 20,000 kilometers. Inspired by Marco Polo, who traveled to China along the ancient Silk Road in 1275, Cammarota set off from the legendary explorer’s hometown of Venice to retrace the route on foot. Marco Polo lived in China for 17 years and in his travelogue provided detailed descriptions of the country, which allowed Westerners to learn about the appeal of this Eastern nation for the first time. Cammarota hopes to see more of modern China by following in Marco Polo’s footsteps. “I want to compare the China described by Marco Polo over 700 years ago with the China of today through my journey. I also hope to share my experiences and observations in China with my fellow Italians,” she says. Cammarota admits she sometimes found herself mired in moments when she wanted to give up everything and go home. “There have been times when I couldn’t find anyone to give me advice, provide information about places to visit, guide me through border crossings, or even help with accommodation. In those moments, I felt frustrated and discouraged. Fortunately, those feelings never last long and I always find a way to work through them,” she says. In her time of need, she has often received kindness and hospitality from strangers. Her concerns about language barriers were addressed through body language, which she says is quite effective. Starting from Kashgar, Cammarota will begin a 15-month cultural journey across China and explore over 30 cities in 17 provinces and autonomous regions. Her journey will end in Beijing to mark the 750th anniversary of Marco Polo’s arrival in China. Her goal is to experience the profound cultural heritage of Chinese civilization, witness the development and achievements of modern China, and call for global harmony and inclusiveness by bringing into modern view the Silk Road history and spirit to boost dialogue and understanding between the East and the West. 4 Why did Cammarota follow Marco Polo’s footsteps to the East? A. To prove her capability as a hiker. B. To witness a different modern China. C. To highlight the achievements of China. D. To arouse people’s curiosity towards China. 5. What does the underlined word “mired” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Trapped. B. Tired. C. Occupied. D. Opposed. 6. Which of the following word can best describe Cammarota’s trip? A. Plain sailing. B. Adventurous. C. Rewarding. D. Harmonious. 7. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Female Hiker Accomplishes Marco Polo’s Journey B. Italian Grandmother Puts Her Best Foot Forward C. Italian Hiker Shows Modern China to The Westerners D. Senior Woman Advocates Global Harmony by Hiking C When it comes to slimming down, how your food is prepared may matter more than its nutrition content. A study from University College London(UCL) found that a diet of minimally processed foods over ultra-processed products leads to faster slimming — even when both plans meet the same nutritional guidelines. The benefit of consuming minimally (最低程度地) processed food (MPF) was limited, however. There was little evidence that it resulted in better health overall. There is growing interest in the impact of the industrial techniques used to make ultra-processed (超加工的) food (UPF). Researchers suspect that the soft texture of many UPFs — and the fact they tend to contain more calories per bite — make them harder to resist and easier to overeat, compared with home-cooked alternatives, which may look nutritionally very similar. The study followed 55 adults, all of whom were overweight, as they alternated between two eight-week diets. One was made up almost entirely of UPF, the other mostly consisted of minimally processed foods, such as homemade spaghetti or overnight oats. In both cases, the participants were provided with meals that meet official healthy standards. They were given more food than they were likely to eat and were told to consume as much or as little as they liked. On both diets, they lost weight. But those on the MPF diet lost roughly twice as much: an average of 2.06 percent of their body weight, compared with 1.05 percent on the UPF diet. The weight loss was due to a decreased intake of calories, compared with the participants’ previous diets, which had included an average of about 65 per cent UPF and failed to meet the healthy recommendations. Researchers estimated that over a year, men could lose 13% and women 9% on MPF, compared to 4 — 5% on UPF. The study, published in the journal Nature Medicine, also explored health markers like blood pressure and cholesterol, but results were not clear enough to prove which diet was better for overall health. Gunter Kuhnle, professor of nutrition at the University of Reading, said: “The most interesting result of the study is that participants on both groups lost weight, which contradicts claims that ultra-processed foods result in weight gain.” 8. Why do ultra-processed foods likely contribute to overeating? A. They are less tasty. B. They are harder to digest. C. They contain fewer calories. D. They have a soft texture and higher calorie. 9. What can be inferred about the participants in the study? A. They were all teenagers. B. They ate less than they needed. C. They had freedom in how much they ate. D. They followed the same diet for sixteen weeks. 10. What would the author probably agree with? A. UPF diets are better for lowering cholesterol. B. MPF diets greatly improve all health indicators. C. How food is prepared may influence weight control. D. Weight loss has nothing to do with food processing. 11. What does Professor Gunter Kuhnle find most interesting about the study? A. Both groups lost weight. B. The MPF group was much healthier. C. The UPF group gained weight. D. The study was too short. D Researchers have developed a robotic sensor that combines artificial intelligence techniques to read Braille (盲文) at speeds roughly double those of most human readers. The research team, from the University of Cambridge, used machine learning algorithms (算法) to teach a robotic sensor to quickly slide over lines of Braille text. The robotic sensor the researchers used has a camera in its “fingertip”, and reads by combining information from the camera and its built-in sensors. “This is a hard problem for roboticists as there’s a lot of image processing that needs to be done to remove motion blur (模糊) — a process that is time-and-energy-consuming,” said Parth Potdar from Cambridge’s Department of Engineering. “There are existing robotic Braille readers, but they only read one letter at a time, which is not how humans read,” said Potdar. “Existing robotic Braille readers work in a relatively static way: they touch one letter pattern, read it, pull up from the surface, move over, and lower down onto the next letter pattern, and so on. We want something that’s more realistic and far more efficient.” The team developed machine learning algorithms so the robotic reader would be able to “deblur” the images before the sensor attempted to recognise the letters. They trained the algorithms on a set of sharp images of Braille with fake blur applied. Once the algorithms had learned to deblur the letters, the team used a computer vision model to detect and classify each character. After the algorithms were incorporated, the researchers tested their reader by sliding it quickly along rows of Braille characters. The robotic Braille reader could read 315 words per minute with 87% accuracy, which is twice as fast and about as accurate as a human Braille reader. “Braille reading speed is a great way to measure the dynamic performance of tactile (能触知的) sensing systems, so our findings could be applicable beyond Braille, for applications like detecting surface features or movement during robot operation,” said Potdar. In the future, the researchers are hoping to scale the technology to the size of a human hand. 12. How does the newly developed robotic sensor read Braille according to the text? A. By only using the camera in its “fingertip” to capture images. B. By combining data from its camera and internal sensors. C. By touching one Braille letter pattern and then moving to the next. D. By directly classifying Braille characters without image processing. 13. Why is the newly developed robotic sensor faster at reading Braille? A It slides quickly along rows of Braille characters. B. It has robotic sensors on the fingertip. C. It uses machine learning algorithms to deblur images. D. It relies only on its camera in the image processing. 14. What did Potdar want to express in Paragraph 6? A. The promising future of their research results. B. The good performance of the robot sensor. C. The factors in making the tactile sensing systems. D. The way to ensure the accuracy of the technology. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Technology to be scaled to the size of a human hand. B. Robots trained to read Braille at twice the speed of humans. C. A great way to measure the performance of sensing systems. D. Machine learning algorithms expected to change Braille writing. 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。 Vegan Agriculture Vegan farming (全素农业) has become more and more popular. It is one of the most environmentally-friendly forms of agriculture. Vegan farming is a good way to grow plants such as vegetables without using animal-derived materials such as their waste.___16___ Such an approach to farming also helps preserve the environment and regain soil richness and improve its biodiversity.  ___17___Organic farming uses natural products to grow plants — that can include even animal waste as fertilizers. On the other hand vegan agriculture rejects animal-derived products and usually sticks with plant-based organic compounds, which means that, in general, vegan agriculture has stricter rules than organic farming.  Additionally, vegan farming usually chooses more natural ways to protect the plants, like breaking cycles of plants’ diseases with mixed cropping (混作), using mechanical barriers (机械屏障) such as nets, or even attracting opposing organisms to fight the harmful ones. ___18___ However, they might be less effective against certain plant diseases or pests.  One of the reasons to develop vegan agriculture is that the vegan way of farming replaces synthetic (合成的) pesticides and uses organic pesticides or other non-chemical methods to protect the crops. By contrast, in conventional agriculture, synthetic pesticides are on a very high level. ___19___ In the future, it is of great significance not to rely on animals’ waste to feed plants. Doing so is not only beneficial to vegans.___20___ Even if today’s methods of vegan agriculture might not be perfect, scientists worldwide, together with vegan farmers, are working towards developing plant-based solutions as alternatives to animal-derived fertilizers. A. Accordingly, the amount of them in food products is much higher. B. Also, vegan farmers are far from applying synthetic fertilizers. C. It is apparent that vegan agriculture is not the same as organic farming. D. In today’s world, the vegan diet and lifestyle are increasingly popular. E. But it’s also good for the whole world, including other animals and plants. F. These ways affect the environment less than the ways of traditional farming. G. The rise of veganism creates new demand for more vegan-friendly agriculture. 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 You may always hear about people who knew exactly what they wanted to do with their life from the time they were in kindergarten.

Even though I had never attempted baking before, I was nine years old and my friend Emmie had been baking cupcakes by herself for a year. I was determined to prove that I could make it. My brother, Caleb, laughed at the idea of me cooking alone, calling it a disaster. Having a big brother can be annoying. Despite his laughing, my mom agreed to let me try. She reminded me to take my time and be careful because I’d had some messy spills before I was nine. I raced to the kitchen and went to work. I cracked eggs and put a cold stick of butter into the bowl. I turned on the mixer at medium speed—and whoa. Whoa. Whoa! What a disaster! I had to wipe butter off my face, then off the table and floor. Caleb made fun of me again, calling me a mess. I chased him away with a spoon and turned back to the mixing bowl. I started again with softer butter. Referring to the recipe, I poured everything needed into the bowl and mixed it. After that, I put round batter (面糊) onto the cookie sheet and put it into the oven (烤箱). Within a minute, a fantastic smell filled the kitchen—the smell of cookie success! I was going to prove that I was responsible. No more eye-rolling from my brother. No more “You’re too young” from my parents. I was grown up and in control. I stared into the oven, and my heart sank. The neat, little balls had melted (融化) and overflowed to the edges of the cookie sheet. I pulled the pan out just as Caleb wandered back into the kitchen. “What in the world?” He started to laugh. “Cookie soup?” “You just be quiet,” I whispered, trying not to cry. “Just leave me alone.” “How’s it going in there?” Dad called from the living room. Caleb raised his eyebrows and bit his lip. I responded that everything was fine, pouring the melted batter into the bowl quickly. 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。 Paragraph 1: I picked up the directions, wondering what had gone wrong． ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I brought a plate of cookies into the living room for my parents． ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 秘密★启用前 2025年秋期新纪元云贵发展中心第三次月考 英语 (高二) (考试时间120分钟，满分150分) 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的学校、姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上，认真核对条形码，在规定的位置贴好条形码及填涂准考证号。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 注意事项：英语听力共两节，20小题，每小题1.5分，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。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Inspired by Marco Polo, who traveled to China along the ancient Silk Road in 1275, Cammarota set off from the legendary explorer’s hometown of Venice to retrace the route on foot. Marco Polo lived in China for 17 years and in his travelogue provided detailed descriptions of the country, which allowed Westerners to learn about the appeal of this Eastern nation for the first time. Cammarota hopes to see more of modern China by following in Marco Polo’s footsteps. “I want to compare the China described by Marco Polo over 700 years ago with the China of today through my journey. I also hope to share my experiences and observations in China with my fellow Italians,” she says. Cammarota admits she sometimes found herself mired in moments when she wanted to give up everything and go home. “There have been times when I couldn’t find anyone to give me advice, provide information about places to visit, guide me through border crossings, or even help with accommodation. In those moments, I felt frustrated and discouraged. Fortunately, those feelings never last long and I always find a way to work through them,” she says. In her time of need, she has often received kindness and hospitality from strangers. Her concerns about language barriers were addressed through body language, which she says is quite effective. Starting from Kashgar, Cammarota will begin a 15-month cultural journey across China and explore over 30 cities in 17 provinces and autonomous regions. Her journey will end in Beijing to mark the 750th anniversary of Marco Polo’s arrival in China. Her goal is to experience the profound cultural heritage of Chinese civilization, witness the development and achievements of modern China, and call for global harmony and inclusiveness by bringing into modern view the Silk Road history and spirit to boost dialogue and understanding between the East and the West. 4. Why did Cammarota follow Marco Polo’s footsteps to the East? A. To prove her capability as a hiker. B. To witness a different modern China. C. To highlight the achievements of China. D. To arouse people’s curiosity towards China. 5. What does the underlined word “mired” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Trapped. B. Tired. C. Occupied. D. Opposed. 6. Which of the following word can best describe Cammarota’s trip? A. Plain sailing. B. Adventurous. C. Rewarding. D. Harmonious. 7. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Female Hiker Accomplishes Marco Polo’s Journey B. Italian Grandmother Puts Her Best Foot Forward C. Italian Hiker Shows Modern China to The Westerners D. Senior Woman Advocates Global Harmony by Hiking 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位意大利的老奶奶重走马可·波罗之路的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Cammarota hopes to see more of modern China by following in Marco Polo’s footsteps.( Cammarota希望跟随马可·波罗的脚步，更多地了解现代中国。)”可知，Cammarota重走马可·波罗的路线目的是为了见证不一样的现代化中国，故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段划线词后文“when she wanted to give up everything and go home.(当她想放弃一切回家的时候)”及“In those moments, I felt frustrated and discouraged.(在那些时刻，我感到沮丧和气馁。)”可知，Cammarota在旅途过程中有过很艰难的时刻，有时她发现自己陷入了想要放弃一切回家的困境。所以mired为“困在，陷入”之意。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Her goal is to experience the profound cultural heritage of Chinese civilization, witness the development and achievements of modern China, and call for global harmony and inclusiveness by bringing into modern view the Silk Road history and spirit to boost dialogue and understanding between the East and the West.(她的目标是体验中华文明的深厚文化遗产，见证现代中国的发展和成就，通过现代视角审视丝绸之路的历史和精神，促进东西方的对话和理解，呼吁世界和谐与包容。)”可知，Cammarota的旅程在挑战自己和赢得关注的同时也推动了东西方相互融合的发展，因此她的壮举是非常有意义的，故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Beginning in Venice on April 26,2022, Vienna Cammarota, a simple grandmother in her 70s as well as a well-known hiker, arrived in China last month, the last stop of her journey retracing the route of Marco Polo to the East, covering more than 20,000 kilometers. (维也纳·卡马罗塔是一位70多岁的老奶奶，也是一位著名的徒步旅行者，她于2022年4月26日从威尼斯出发，于上个月抵达中国，这是她沿着马可·波罗向东走的路线的最后一站，全程超过2万公里。)”及全文可知，文章讲述了一位意大利老奶奶徒步重走马克·波罗之路，在徒步完成实际路程之外，她的壮举进一步让西方国家的人们了解了现代化中国的面貌，更进一步推进了中西方的文化融合和相互了解，B项中“Italian Grandmother Puts Her Best Foot Forward(意大利祖母迈出了她最好的一步)”不仅体现了徒步，也体现了更进一步的深层含义。故选B。 C When it comes to slimming down, how your food is prepared may matter more than its nutrition content. A study from University College London(UCL) found that a diet of minimally processed foods over ultra-processed products leads to faster slimming — even when both plans meet the same nutritional guidelines. The benefit of consuming minimally (最低程度地) processed food (MPF) was limited, however. There was little evidence that it resulted in better health overall. There is growing interest in the impact of the industrial techniques used to make ultra-processed (超加工的) food (UPF). Researchers suspect that the soft texture of many UPFs — and the fact they tend to contain more calories per bite — make them harder to resist and easier to overeat, compared with home-cooked alternatives, which may look nutritionally very similar. The study followed 55 adults, all of whom were overweight, as they alternated between two eight-week diets. One was made up almost entirely of UPF, the other mostly consisted of minimally processed foods, such as homemade spaghetti or overnight oats. In both cases, the participants were provided with meals that meet official healthy standards. They were given more food than they were likely to eat and were told to consume as much or as little as they liked. On both diets, they lost weight. But those on the MPF diet lost roughly twice as much: an average of 2.06 percent of their body weight, compared with 1.05 percent on the UPF diet. The weight loss was due to a decreased intake of calories, compared with the participants’ previous diets, which had included an average of about 65 per cent UPF and failed to meet the healthy recommendations. Researchers estimated that over a year, men could lose 13% and women 9% on MPF, compared to 4 — 5% on UPF. The study, published in the journal Nature Medicine, also explored health markers like blood pressure and cholesterol, but results were not clear enough to prove which diet was better for overall health. Gunter Kuhnle, professor of nutrition at the University of Reading, said: “The most interesting result of the study is that participants on both groups lost weight, which contradicts claims that ultra-processed foods result in weight gain.” 8. Why do ultra-processed foods likely contribute to overeating? A. They are less tasty. B. They are harder to digest. C. They contain fewer calories. D. They have a soft texture and higher calorie. 9. What can be inferred about the participants in the study? A. They were all teenagers. B. They ate less than they needed. C. They had freedom in how much they ate. D. They followed the same diet for sixteen weeks. 10. What would the author probably agree with? A. UPF diets are better for lowering cholesterol. B. MPF diets greatly improve all health indicators. C. How food is prepared may influence weight control. D. Weight loss has nothing to do with food processing. 11. What does Professor Gunter Kuhnle find most interesting about the study? A. Both groups lost weight. B. The MPF group was much healthier. C. The UPF group gained weight. D. The study was too short. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。伦敦大学学院研究发现，超重成人吃最低程度加工食品（MPF）比超加工食品（UPF）减重更快，虽两者均符营养标准，但暂未证明MPF更有益整体健康，且两组均减重，反驳了UPF致增重的说法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Researchers suspect that the soft texture of many UPFs — and the fact they tend to contain more calories per bite — make them harder to resist and easier to overeat, compared with home-cooked alternatives, which may look nutritionally very similar. (研究人员认为，与家常烹饪的食物相比，许多超加工食品的口感较为柔软，而且每口所含的热量往往更高，这使得人们更难以抗拒它们，也更容易吃得过多。而这些快餐食品的外观在营养成分上可能与家常食物非常相似)”可知，超加工食品可能会导致过度进食是因为它们质地柔软且热量较高。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“They were given more food than they were likely to eat and were told to consume as much or as little as they liked. (他们得到了比他们实际所需更多的食物，并被告知可以随意摄入多少都行)”可知，该研究中的参与者对于饮食量有着一定的自主权。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When it comes to slimming down, how your food is prepared may matter more than its nutrition content. (说到减肥问题，食物的烹饪方式可能比其营养成分更重要)”以及第四段“On both diets, they lost weight. But those on the MPF diet lost roughly twice as much: an average of 2.06 percent of their body weight, compared with 1.05 percent on the UPF diet. (在这两种饮食方案下，他们都成功减重了。但采用 MPF 饮食方案的人减重幅度要大得多：平均减重约2.06%的体重，而采用 UPF 饮食方案的人平均减重仅为1.05%)”可知，文章开篇即点明核心观点——“在减肥这件事上，食物的制作方式或许比其营养成分更为关键”，后续研究也验证了这一点：同样符合营养标准的前提下，MPF饮食（制作方式更简单、加工程度低）比UPF饮食减重更快。可知，作者可能会认同食物的烹饪方式会影响体重控制。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Gunter Kuhnle, professor of nutrition at the University of Reading, said: “The most interesting result of the study is that participants on both groups lost weight, which contradicts claims that ultra-processed foods result in weight gain.” (雷丁大学营养学教授贡特尔·库恩勒表示：“该研究最有趣的结果是，两组参与者都减轻了体重，这与超加工食品会导致体重增加的说法相矛盾。”)”可知，Gunter Kuhnle教授认为这项研究中最有趣的是两个组都减重了。故选A。 D Researchers have developed a robotic sensor that combines artificial intelligence techniques to read Braille (盲文) at speeds roughly double those of most human readers. The research team, from the University of Cambridge, used machine learning algorithms (算法) to teach a robotic sensor to quickly slide over lines of Braille text. The robotic sensor the researchers used has a camera in its “fingertip”, and reads by combining information from the camera and its built-in sensors. “This is a hard problem for roboticists as there’s a lot of image processing that needs to be done to remove motion blur (模糊) — a process that is time-and-energy-consuming,” said Parth Potdar from Cambridge’s Department of Engineering. “There are existing robotic Braille readers, but they only read one letter at a time, which is not how humans read,” said Potdar. “Existing robotic Braille readers work in a relatively static way: they touch one letter pattern, read it, pull up from the surface, move over, and lower down onto the next letter pattern, and so on. We want something that’s more realistic and far more efficient.” The team developed machine learning algorithms so the robotic reader would be able to “deblur” the images before the sensor attempted to recognise the letters. They trained the algorithms on a set of sharp images of Braille with fake blur applied. Once the algorithms had learned to deblur the letters, the team used a computer vision model to detect and classify each character. After the algorithms were incorporated, the researchers tested their reader by sliding it quickly along rows of Braille characters. The robotic Braille reader could read 315 words per minute with 87% accuracy, which is twice as fast and about as accurate as a human Braille reader. “Braille reading speed is a great way to measure the dynamic performance of tactile (能触知的) sensing systems, so our findings could be applicable beyond Braille, for applications like detecting surface features or movement during robot operation,” said Potdar. In the future, the researchers are hoping to scale the technology to the size of a human hand. 12. How does the newly developed robotic sensor read Braille according to the text? A. By only using the camera in its “fingertip” to capture images. B By combining data from its camera and internal sensors. C. By touching one Braille letter pattern and then moving to the next. D. By directly classifying Braille characters without image processing. 13. Why is the newly developed robotic sensor faster at reading Braille? A. It slides quickly along rows of Braille characters. B. It has robotic sensors on the fingertip. C. It uses machine learning algorithms to deblur images. D. It relies only on its camera in the image processing. 14. What did Potdar want to express in Paragraph 6? A. The promising future of their research results. B. The good performance of the robot sensor. C. The factors in making the tactile sensing systems. D. The way to ensure the accuracy of the technology. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Technology to be scaled to the size of a human hand. B. Robots trained to read Braille at twice the speed of humans. C. A great way to measure the performance of sensing systems. D. Machine learning algorithms expected to change Braille writing. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款结合人工智能技术，阅读盲文的速度大约是人类读者两倍的机器人传感器。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The robotic sensor the researchers used has a camera in its “fingertip”, and reads by combining information from the camera and its built-in sensors.(研究人员所使用的这种机器人传感器在其“指尖”处装有一个摄像头，它通过将摄像头获取的信息与内置传感器的数据相结合来获取信息)”可知，结合摄像头信息和自带传感器数据完成读取，故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The team developed machine learning algorithms so the robotic reader would be able to “deblur” the images before the sensor attempted to recognise the letters.(该团队开发了机器学习算法，以便机器人阅读者能够在传感器尝试识别字母之前先对图像进行“去模糊”处理)”和第五段“After the algorithms were incorporated, the researchers tested their reader by sliding it quickly along rows of Braille characters. The robotic Braille reader could read 315 words per minute with 87% accuracy, which is twice as fast and about as accurate as a human Braille reader.(在将算法整合进去之后，研究人员通过让机器人阅读一排排盲文字符来对其进行测试。这款机器人盲文阅读器每分钟能够读出315个单词，准确率为87%，其速度是人类盲文阅读器的两倍，准确度也与之相当)”可知，新开发的机器人传感器能更快地阅读盲文是因为它使用机器学习算法来去除图像模糊。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段““Braille reading speed is a great way to measure the dynamic performance of tactile (能触知的) sensing systems, so our findings could be applicable beyond Braille, for applications like detecting surface features or movement during robot operation,” said Potdar.(波特达尔表示：“布莱叶盲文阅读速度是衡量触觉感知系统动态性能的一种有效方法，因此我们的研究成果不仅适用于布莱尔盲文阅读这一领域，还能够应用于诸如检测机器人运行过程中的表面特征或动作等其他领域。”)”可知，Potdar在第六段中想要表达他们的研究成果前景广阔。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Researchers have developed a robotic sensor that combines artificial intelligence techniques to read Braille (盲文) at speeds roughly double those of most human readers.(研究人员开发出了一种机器人传感器，该传感器运用了人工智能技术，能够以大约是大多数人类读者两倍速度读取盲文)”可知，文章主要介绍了一款结合人工智能技术，阅读盲文的速度大约是人类读者两倍的机器人传感器，所以B项“机器人被训练以两倍于人类的速度阅读盲文”适合做文章标题。故选B项。 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。 Vegan Agriculture Vegan farming (全素农业) has become more and more popular. It is one of the most environmentally-friendly forms of agriculture. Vegan farming is a good way to grow plants such as vegetables without using animal-derived materials such as their waste.___16___ Such an approach to farming also helps preserve the environment and regain soil richness and improve its biodiversity.  ___17___Organic farming uses natural products to grow plants — that can include even animal waste as fertilizers. On the other hand, vegan agriculture rejects animal-derived products and usually sticks with plant-based organic compounds, which means that, in general, vegan agriculture has stricter rules than organic farming.  Additionally, vegan farming usually chooses more natural ways to protect the plants, like breaking cycles of plants’ diseases with mixed cropping (混作), using mechanical barriers (机械屏障) such as nets, or even attracting opposing organisms to fight the harmful ones. ___18___ However, they might be less effective against certain plant diseases or pests.  One of the reasons to develop vegan agriculture is that the vegan way of farming replaces synthetic (合成的) pesticides and uses organic pesticides or other non-chemical methods to protect the crops. By contrast, in conventional agriculture, synthetic pesticides are on a very high level. ___19___ In the future, it is of great significance not to rely on animals’ waste to feed plants. Doing so is not only beneficial to vegans.___20___ Even if today’s methods of vegan agriculture might not be perfect, scientists worldwide, together with vegan farmers, are working towards developing plant-based solutions as alternatives to animal-derived fertilizers. A. Accordingly, the amount of them in food products is much higher. B. Also, vegan farmers are far from applying synthetic fertilizers. C. It is apparent that vegan agriculture is not the same as organic farming. D. In today’s world, the vegan diet and lifestyle are increasingly popular. E. But it’s also good for the whole world, including other animals and plants. F. These ways affect the environment less than the ways of traditional farming. G. The rise of veganism creates new demand for more vegan-friendly agriculture. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. F 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了全素农业的优势。 【16题详解】 由设空处前一句“Vegan farming is a good way to grow plants such as vegetables without using animal-derived materials such as their waste.(全素农业是种植蔬菜等植物的一种方法。)”和后一句“Such an approach to farming also helps preserve the environment and regain soil richness and improve its biodiversity.(这种耕作方式不仅有助于保护环境、恢复土壤肥力，还有助于增加生物多样性。)”可知，设空处仍在说全素农业的好处。B项“全素种植者也绝不会使用合成肥料”符合题意。故选B。 【17题详解】 本段最后一句“On the other hand, vegan agriculture rejects animal-derived products and usually sticks with plant-based organic compounds, which means that, in general, vegan agriculture has stricter rules than organic farming.(另一方面，纯素农业拒绝动物来源的产品，通常坚持使用植物性有机化合物，这意味着，总的来说，纯素农业比有机农业有更严格的规定。)”可知，本段在说全素农业与有机农业是不一样的。结合选项，C项“很明显，全素农业和有机农业是不一样的”符合题意。故选C。 【18题详解】 前文“Additionally, vegan farming usually chooses more natural ways to protect the plants, like breaking cycles of plants’ diseases with mixed cropping (混作), using mechanical barriers (机械屏障) such as nets, or even attracting opposing organisms to fight the harmful ones.(此外，纯素农业通常选择更自然的方式来保护植物，比如通过混合种植打破植物疾病的循环，使用网状等机械屏障，甚至吸引对立的生物来对抗有害的生物)”介绍全素农业通常选择更自然的方式来保护植物。后文“However, they might be less effective against certain plant diseases or pests.(然而，它们对某些植物疾病或害虫可能不太有效)”出现转折，介绍这种方法的弊端，故推知空处应是这种方法的优势，F项“这些方式对环境的影响比传统农业方式要小”符合语境。故选F。 【19题详解】 前文“By contrast, in conventional agriculture, synthetic pesticides are on a very high level.(相比之下，在传统农业中，合成农药的用量非常高)”提到传统农业中合成农药的用量非常高，A项“因此，它们在食品中的含量要高得多”与前一句构成顺承关系，A项中“them”指代上文“synthetic pesticides”。故选A。 【20题详解】 前文“Doing so is not only beneficial to vegans.(这样做不仅对纯素食者有益)”介绍好处，结合选项，E项“但对整个世界也有好处，包括其他动物和植物”介绍对于动物和植物也是有益的。且“not only...but also”前后呼应。故选E。 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 You may always hear about people who knew exactly what they wanted to do with their life from the time they were in kindergarten.

Even though I had never attempted baking before, I was nine years old and my friend Emmie had been baking cupcakes by herself for a year. I was determined to prove that I could make it. My brother, Caleb, laughed at the idea of me cooking alone, calling it a disaster. Having a big brother can be annoying. Despite his laughing, my mom agreed to let me try. She reminded me to take my time and be careful because I’d had some messy spills before I was nine. I raced to the kitchen and went to work. I cracked eggs and put a cold stick of butter into the bowl. I turned on the mixer at medium speed—and whoa. Whoa. Whoa! What a disaster! I had to wipe butter off my face, then off the table and floor. Caleb made fun of me again, calling me a mess. I chased him away with a spoon and turned back to the mixing bowl. I started again with softer butter. Referring to the recipe, I poured everything needed into the bowl and mixed it. After that, I put round batter (面糊) onto the cookie sheet and put it into the oven (烤箱). Within a minute, a fantastic smell filled the kitchen—the smell of cookie success! I was going to prove that I was responsible. No more eye-rolling from my brother. No more “You’re too young” from my parents. I was grown up and in control. I stared into the oven, and my heart sank. The neat, little balls had melted (融化) and overflowed to the edges of the cookie sheet. I pulled the pan out just as Caleb wandered back into the kitchen. “What in the world?” He started to laugh. “Cookie soup?” “You just be quiet,” I whispered, trying not to cry. “Just leave me alone.” “How’s it going in there?” Dad called from the living room. Caleb raised his eyebrows and bit his lip. I responded that everything was fine, pouring the melted batter into the bowl quickly. 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。 Paragraph 1: I picked up the directions, wondering what had gone wrong． ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I brought a plate of cookies into the living room for my parents． ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: I picked up the directions, wondering what had gone wrong. It was then that I realized I had forgotten to add the flour! The batter had been too runny, causing the cookies to spread out. I quickly mixed in the flour and spooned the batter onto a new cookie sheet. This time, I watched carefully as they rose and browned in the oven. The sweet aroma filled the kitchen, and my heart beat with excitement. I couldn’t wait to show my family what I had accomplished. Caleb sneaked in and raised his eyebrows, but this time, I just smiled confidently. Paragraph 2: I brought a plate of cookies into the living room for my parents. They looked surprised and delighted. “These are…yours?” Mom asked, taking a cautious bite. “They’re…amazing!” She smiled, and Dad nodded in agreement. Caleb sat on the couch, a cookie in his hand, and his face betrayed a hint of pride. “I told you she could do it,” he said with a grin. I beamed, feeling a sense of accomplishment wash over me. I had proved myself, not just to my family but to myself. From that day on, no one doubted my baking skills again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者决心自己做饼干，尽管以前从未尝试过烘焙，但想到朋友埃米已经自己烤了一年的纸杯蛋糕，所以作者决心要证明自己能做到。一开始哥哥还嘲笑作者，作者也不顺利，幸好最后作者慢慢摸索终于做出了饼干，得到了家人的好评。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我拿起指南，不知道哪里出了问题”可知，第一段可描写作者发现问题，并按照说明成功做出蛋糕。 ②由第二段首句内容“我带了一盘饼干到客厅给我的父母”可知，第二段可描写作者把做好的饼干拿给家人品尝，得到了家人的认可。 2.续写线索：饼干出错——重新尝试——制作成功——作者兴奋开心——家人品尝——得到赞美——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①导致：cause/lead to ②溜进来：sneak in/slide in ③成就：accomplish/achieve 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised /astonished ②高兴的：delighted /glad 【点睛】[高分句型1] This time, I watched carefully as they rose and browned in the oven.
