Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs that have ever been born here. Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don't make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home. I've got two children—the younger one, Kynan, was extremely happy about the tigers arriving - but all of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow. I wasn't worried about bringing them into my home with my wife and kids. These were cubs. They weighed about 2.5 kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk. As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they'd get up to mischief. We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo. Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired. I was grateful that my family was there to help. We had to have a bit of a production line going, making up “tiger milk”, washing baby bottles, and cleaning the floors. When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go. It was hard for us to finally part with them. For the first few days, Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren't there. I'm not sad about it. I'm hands-on with them every day at the zoo, and I do look back very fondly on the time that we had them. 4. Why did the author bring the tiger cubs home? A. To ensure their survival. B. To observe their differences. C. To teach them life skills. D. To let them play with his kids. 5. What do the underlined words “get up to mischief” mean in paragraph 3? A. Behave badly. B. Lose their way. C. Sleep soundly. D. Miss their mom. 6. What did the author think of raising the tiger cubs at home? A. Boring. B. Tiring. C. Costly. D. Risky. 7. Why did the author decide to send Spot and Stripe back to the zoo? A. They frightened the children. B. They became difficult to contain. C. They annoyed the neighbours. D. They started fighting each other. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者为了保证两只老虎幼崽的存活，决定在家里全天候照顾它们。介绍了老虎在作者家生活的情况以及作者照顾老虎的感受。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don't make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home. (在全球范围内，动物园里三分之一的苏门答腊老虎幼崽活不到成年，所以我决定在家里全天候照顾它们)”可知，作者把老虎幼崽带回家是为了确保他们的存活。故选A。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they'd ”（随着它们的活动越来越多，我们白天让它们在房子里自由活动，但当我们睡觉时，我们必须把它们关在一个大房间里，否则它们会）以及后文“We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.”（我们早上下楼时发现他们把房间弄得乱七八糟，让它看起来像个动物园。）可知，作者不得不把老虎们关在一个大房间里，否则它们就会调皮捣蛋，表现不好。早上下楼时发现他们把房间弄得乱七八糟，看起来像个动物园。故画线词意思是“表现不好”。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired.(由于需要大量的精力来照顾它们，事情很快变得非常紧张。有一段艰难的日子，我只是觉得非常累)”可推知，作者在家里饲养小老虎需要大量精力照顾它，这让作者感觉非常疲惫，因此作者认为在家里养小老虎是累人的。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go.(当Spot和Stripe四个月大的时候，他们正在学习如何开门和跳栅栏，我们知道是时候让他们离开了)”可知，作者决定把Spot 和Stripe送回动物园是因为他们变得难以控制。故选B。 C Researchers at the University of Waterloo are developing new technology that would free people with diabetes (糖尿病) from painful finger sticks to monitor their blood sugar. A team led by engineering professor George Shaker has combined radar and artificial intelligence(AI)to detect changes in glucose (葡萄糖) levels without the need to draw blood several times a day. The system under development uses the radar device to send high-frequency radio waves into liquids containing various levels of glucose and receive radio waves that are reflected back to it. Information on the reflected waves is then changed into digital data for analysis by machine-learning AI, developed by the researchers. The software is capable of detecting glucose changes based on more than 500 wave features or characteristics including how long it takes for them to return to the device. Initial tests with volunteers at the Research Institute for Aging in Waterloo achieved results that were 85 percent as accurate as traditional, invasive (穿刺式的) blood analysis. “The result was actually amazing,” says Shaker. “We have shown it is possible to use radar to look into blood to detect changes.” Next steps include enhancing the system to precisely quantify glucose levels and obtain results through the skin, which makes the process more challenging. The research team is also working with German hardware company Infineon to make the radar device smaller so that it is both low-cost and low-power. The data analyzed by AI is now sent wirelessly to computers, but the final aim is self-contained technology similar to the smartwatches that monitor heart rate. “I’m hoping we’ll see a wearable device on the market within the next five years,” Shaker says. “There are challenges, but the research has been going at a really good rate.” 8. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A. The radar-reflected wave analysis process. B. The technical principle underlying the system. C. The machine-learning-powered glucose detection. D. The high-frequency wave transmission technique. 9. What do Shaker’s words in paragraph 5 suggest? A. The radar system’s practicality is proven B. The radar technology’s limitations are noticed. C. The volunteers’ test performance was highlighted. D. The traditional blood analysis’s accuracy is emphasized. 10. What does the follow-up study focus on? A. Developing smartwatches for AI analysis. B. Exploring low-cost AI and radar technology. C. Improving skin-based glucose quantification. D. Sending analyzed data to computers wirelessly. 11. What is Shaker’s attitude toward the research? A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Approving. 【答案】8 B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。文章介绍了滑铁卢大学研究人员正在开发的一种新技术，用于帮助糖尿病患者摆脱每天多次采血监测血糖的痛苦。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段的“The system under development uses the radar device to send high-frequency radio waves into liquids containing various levels of glucose and receive radio waves that are reflected back to it. Information on the reflected waves is then changed into digital data for analysis by machine-learning AI, developed by the researchers.(正在开发的系统使用雷达设备将高频无线电波发送到含有不同水平葡萄糖的液体中，并接收被反射回来的无线电波。然后，反射波的信息被转换成数字数据，供研究人员开发的机器学习人工智能进行分析。)”可知，这一段主要描述了系统的技术原理。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““The result was actually amazing,” says Shaker. “We have shown it is possible to use radar to look into blood to detect changes.”(“结果真的很惊人，”Shaker说。“我们已经证明，利用雷达观察血液来检测变化是可能的。”)”可知，Shaker的话表明了该雷达系统的可行性和实用性得到了证明。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Next steps include enhancing the system to precisely quantify glucose levels and obtain results through the skin, which complicates the process.(接下来的步骤包括增强系统以精确量化葡萄糖水平，并通过皮肤获得结果，这使过程变得复杂。)”可知，后续研究的重点是改进通过皮肤获取精确的血糖水平。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““I’m hoping we’ll see a wearable device on the market within the next five years,” Shaker says. “There are challenges, but the research has been going at a really good rate.”(Shaker说：“我希望在未来五年内，我们能在市场上看到可穿戴设备。”“虽然存在挑战，但研究一直在以非常好的速度进行。”)”可知，Shaker对研究持认可的态度。故选D项。 D Saying farewell to someone you love, even for a night, can be difficult, much less saying goodbye for a lifetime or forever in death. Juliet bid Romeo adieu (再见) for the evening with the words, “Parting is such sweet sorrow.” Sweet sorrow is an oxymoron. But this seeming contradiction is true in the context of relationships. Relationships are based on feelings, emotions, and passion. Deep friendships and loving relationships are measured by the level of emotional attachment. Emotions intensify over time. People spend time with the people they like. The more one person likes another person, the closer the relationship becomes. Each person in the relationship receives an emotional benefit from knowing the other person. Saying goodbye means separating from the people who make up a significant part of your emotional identity. Separation, even a temporary absence, from the people you have a deep emotional connection with can cause sorrow because you will no longer be able to enjoy their company. The sweet side of saying goodbye is the emotional fulfillment of being in a close relationship. The time spent together is emotionally rewarding, especially if that person is seen as a soulmate. Humans are social beings. We seek the love and comfort of other people. Loneliness devastates the human condition and leads to sadness. Sad people will do anything they can to find fulfilling relationships. Likewise, happy people will do anything they can to maintain or enhance relationships. Herein lies the essential point of the emotional problem. The more intense relationships become, the more devastating the emotional loss that is felt upon separation. The exhilaration of relationships cannot be truly measured without experiencing the overwhelming loss of a deep emotional connection. Enjoy the company of the person you are with as long as you can; knowing the pain you will feel at the end of the relationship is the true measure of the relationship. If it doesn’t hurt to say goodbye, perhaps it wasn’t worth saying hello. 12. Which of the word group can create the same effect as “sweet sorrow”? A. icy cold B. clicking sound C. deafening silence D. endless speech 13. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. Saying goodbye is unavoidable in our daily life. B. The companion of close friends can lessen sorrow. C. A person’s identity is connected with relationship. D. Separation is the sorrowful part of saying goodbye. 14. What gives a person emotional satisfaction in social life? A. Making more communication with others. B. Building deep emotional connections with others. C. Comforting friends with love and intense feelings. D. Being a thoughtful person by standing in others’ shoes. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Sweet sorrow is very common in close relationships. B. The pain of separation is the measure of relationships. C. Human beings are eager to get emotional fulfillment. D. Happiness is meaningless without sadness to compare it. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文,通过莎翁戏剧著名台词“Parting is such sweet sorrow”引出对人际关系的讨论，阐述分离的痛苦是衡量感情的尺度。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“ Sweet sorrow is an oxymoron. But this seeming contradiction is true in the context of relationships.(甜蜜的悲伤是一种矛盾修辞法。但这种看似矛盾的现象在人际关系中却是真实存在的。)”可知，本句中sweet sorrow是一种矛盾的修辞方法。C选项中“deafening silence(震耳欲聋的沉默)”与题干中的“甜蜜的悲伤”一致，构成的是修辞的方式是矛盾的修饰方式。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Separation, even a temporary absence, from the people you have a deep emotional connection with can cause sorrow because you will no longer be able to enjoy their company.(与你有深厚情感联系的人分离，即使是暂时的缺席，都会带来悲伤，因为你将无法再享受他们的陪伴。)”可知，分离是告别时悲伤的部分。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Deep friendships and loving relationships are measured by the level of emotional attachment. Emotions intensify over time,(深厚的友谊和爱的关系是由情感依恋的水平来衡量的。情绪会随着时间的推移而加剧)”以及第四段中“The time spent together is emotionally rewarding, especially if that person is seen as a soulmate. Humans are social beings.(一起度过的时光在情感上是有益的，尤其是如果那个人被视为灵魂伴侣。人类是社会生物)” 可知，一起度过的时光在情感上是有益的即与他人建立深厚的情感联系能使人在社交生活中获得情感上的满足。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。 通读全文以及根据最后一段中“Enjoy the company of the person you are with as long as you can; knowing the pain you will feel at the end of the relationship is the true measure of the relationship. (尽可能地享受和你在一起的人的陪伴；知道在一段关系结束时你会感受到的痛苦是衡量这段关系的真正标准。如果说再见无伤大雅，那也许不值得说你好)”可知，文章通过“告别”带给人看似矛盾的情感体验这一现象，通过对比等手段，深入分析了痛苦这种情感体验在人际关系疏密中的作用。B选项“The pain of separation is the measure of relationships.(分离的痛苦是衡量感情的尺度。)”概括文章主要内容。故选B。 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。 A recent study suggests that reading paper books does make you smarter.While all reading benefits the brain,particularly at a young age,physical books offer the most advantages.Students who read paper books scored approximately 2.5 years ahead of those who didn’t read,whereas digital readers scored just under a year ahead ____16____ A previous study has consistently shown that reading comprehension is better with paper books compared to digital reading. ____17____Even in areas where digital reading is more common,students who read paper books demonstrate a better understanding of the material. One reason for this is that reading on paper comes with fewer distractions(干扰) .Digital platforms often distract readers with games or videos. ____18____Additionally,the absence of blue light in physical books prevents potential harm to readers’ eyes and aids in better sleep.The brain activity involved in reading a paper book helps the mind wind down,avoiding blue light that can interrupt the circadian rhythm (生物钟). ____19____Children surrounded by books are encouraged to read and discuss what they learn,developing a habit of engaged learning and achieving greater success.While digital books have made reading more accessible to disadvantaged students,they do not replace the unique benefits of physical books.However,since physical copies can be more expensive and harder to find,digital reading remains a valuable alternative. It’s true that paper books have clear advantages. ____20____So,regardless of how you choose to read,know that any book is better than none. A. Paper books, on the contrary, keep readers focused. B. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for digital books. C. This differenee of more than a year and a half is significant. D. Digital reading, on the other hand, is far better than not reading at all. E. Consider adding books to your physical library, rather than digital ones. F. The new one further confirms the long-term benefits for physical book readers. G. Moreover, people with more books at home are typically higher academic achievers. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. A 19. G 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阅读纸质书相对于数字阅读的优势，包括在阅读理解、专注力、对眼睛的保护以及睡眠质量的改善等方面的益处。 【16题详解】 根据空前“Students who read paper books scored approximately 2.5 years ahead of those who didn’t read, whereas digital readers scored just under a year ahead（阅读纸质书的学生比不阅读的学生成绩领先约 2.5 年，而阅读电子书的学生仅领先不到 1 年）”可知，阅读纸质书的学生优势很明显。选项C“This difference of more than a year and a half is significant.(这一年半多的差距是很显著的。)”承接上文对纸质书阅读者和电子书阅读者成绩差距的描述。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据空前内容“A previous study has consistently shown that reading comprehension is better with paper books compared to digital reading.(此前的一项研究一直表明，与数字阅读相比，纸质书的阅读理解效果更好。)”可知，上文提到之前的研究已经表明纸质书在阅读理解上优于数字阅读。选项F“The new one further confirms the long-term benefits for physical book readers.(这项新的研究进一步证实了纸质书读者的长期益处。)”与前文提到的之前的研究相呼应，进一步说明新研究的作用。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据空前内容“Digital platforms often distract readers with games or videos.(数字平台经常用游戏或视频分散读者的注意力。)”可知，数字平台经常通过游戏或视频分散读者的注意力。选项A“Paper books, on the contrary, keep readers focused.(相反，纸质书能让读者保持专注。)” 与前文形成对比，说明纸质书在减少干扰方面的优势。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Children surrounded by books are encouraged to read and discuss what they learn, developing a habit of engaged learning and achieving greater success.(被书籍包围的孩子会被鼓励去阅读并讨论所学内容，养成积极学习的习惯并取得更大的成功。)”可知，被书籍包围的孩子会更容易成功。选项G“Moreover, people with more books at home are typically higher academic achievers.(此外，家里藏书更多的人通常在学业上取得更高的成就。)”能够引出后文关于书籍对孩子学习等方面影响的内容。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据空前“It’s true that paper books have clear advantages.(纸质书确实有明显的优势。)”可知，上文提到纸质书有优势。而空后“So, regardless of how you choose to read, know that any book is better than none.（所以，无论你选择何种阅读方式，要知道读总比不读好）”可推测，空处提到了其他阅读方式。选项D“Digital reading, on the other hand, is far better than not reading at all.(另一方面，数字阅读总比不阅读要好得多。)” 既承接了前文关于纸质书优势的话题，又呼应了后文强调阅读方式的选择及阅读本身的重要性。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last summer to escape the heat of my home city, I ventured north to Norway, visiting my friend Lars in his ancestral village.

I heard him say, “Yes, Miss Beisner,” and “I understand what you’re saying, Miss Beisner. I appreciate you sharing this information. We’ll see what we can do about the situation. Thank you for calling. Goodbye.” Miss Beisner was my first-grade teacher, and I loved her. I thought she felt the same about me, but now I was beginning to wonder. The tone of Dad’s voice, the redness in his cheeks, and his repeated clenching. And unclenching of fists made it pretty clear. This was not a warm and fuzzy good news-from-the-teacher call. As I was deciding whether I should lock myself in my bedroom for the rest of my life or run away from home, Dad hung up the phone. “Jacquie, come here and sit down. We need to talk.” Uh-oh. When Dad said, “We need to talk,” it meant he needed to talk, and I needed to listen. I shuffled (拖着脚走) over to the well-worn brown chair in the corner of the living room, plopped down, and waited to hear the nature of my crime. Dad told me that Miss Beisner thought I was bright but not working up to my ability. She said I had strong verbal skills but weak study habits. Translation: I never closed my mouth, and I seldom opened a book. Apparently, my failure to memorize the addition facts, or even attempt to, was more than she was willing to put up with. Hence, the telephone call. Dad ended our one-way conversation with a verbal outline for his plan of attack. Bubbles, our Toy Manchester Terrier, was going to teach me math. Silently, I thought, No way is any dumb dog going to teach me how to add, not even our beloved Bubbles. Out loud, I said, “How?” Dad summoned Bubbles from her bed near the stove and commanded her to sit. “Bubbles,” Dad said, “how much is five plus three?” Bubbles let out eight loud, crisp barks. I was incredulous (满腹狐疑的). I couldn’t understand how a dog could add, and I was more than a little embarrassed by the fact that the family dog was smarter than me. 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: After that, I threw myself into math with newfound determination. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: One day, I asked Dad whether Bubbles really knew how to add. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 After that, I threw myself into math with newfound determination. Instead of hanging out with my friends after school, I would perch at the kitchen table, textbooks splayed out before me, and practice addition and subtraction. I thought to myself, if Bubbles, a dog, could learn math, then surely, I could too. With each passing week, I could see the fruits of my labor. Occasionally, during our study sessions, Dad would call Bubbles over. She would bark out the correct answers to simple math problems — it was a unique, interactive way for me to assess my progress. I swelled with pride at my achievements, my parents were overjoyed, and Miss Beisner’s smile returned. One day, I asked Dad whether Bubbles really knew how to add. I couldn’t help but wonder if there was a trick or if it was all simply a coincidence. Dad, with a knowing smile, explained that Bubbles didn’t actually possess the ability to solve math problems. In reality, he had trained her to respond to certain cues. When he posed a math question, he would subtly tap his foot a certain number of times, prompting Bubbles to bark the corresponding number. Despite the initial disappointment, I realized that it was my own effort and perseverance that led to my improvement in math. My grades continued on an upward path. Bubbles couldn’t add, subtract, multiply or divide, but she sure could teach. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和家里的一只名叫“泡泡”的宠物狗一起学数学的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在那之后，我带着新的决心全身心投入到数学中。”可知，第一段可描写我决心全身心投入学习数学的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“有一天，我问爸爸“泡泡”是不是真的会加法。”可知，第二段可描写爸爸解释泡泡实际上并不具备解决数学问题的能力。 2.续写线索：决心全身心投入到数学——练习加减法——我的数学有提高了——问爸爸“泡泡”是不是真的会加法——爸爸解释原因——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①闲逛：hanging out/hanging around/hanging about ②评估：assess/evaluate ③具备，拥有：possess/have/ be equipped with 情绪类 ①欣喜若狂：overjoyed/rapturous/ecstatic ②失望：disappointment/despair 【点睛】[高分句型1]When he posed a math question, he would subtly tap his foot a certain number of times, prompting Bubbles to bark the corresponding number.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句以及非谓语动词中的现在分词作状语） [高分句型2]Despite the initial disappointment, I realized that it was my own effort and perseverance that led to my improvement in math. （运用了从属连词that引导的宾语从句以及it was…that…的强调句型） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 重庆八中2025—2026学年度(上)高二年级第四次周考 英语试题 命题：高2027级沙坪坝校区英语组 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

B I have worked as a keeper at the National Zoo, Paris for 11 years. Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs that have ever been born here. Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don't make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home. I've got two children—the younger one, Kynan, was extremely happy about the tigers arriving - but all of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow. I wasn't worried about bringing them into my home with my wife and kids. These were cubs. They weighed about 2.5 kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk. As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they'd get up to mischief. We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo. Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired. I was grateful that my family was there to help. We had to have a bit of a production line going, making up “tiger milk”, washing baby bottles, and cleaning the floors. When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go. It was hard for us to finally part with them. For the first few days, Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren't there. I'm not sad about it. I'm hands-on with them every day at the zoo, and I do look back very fondly on the time that we had them. 4. Why did the author bring the tiger cubs home? A. To ensure their survival. B. To observe their differences. C. To teach them life skills. D. To let them play with his kids. 5. What do the underlined words “get up to mischief” mean in paragraph 3? A. Behave badly. B. Lose their way. C. Sleep soundly. D. Miss their mom. 6. What did the author think of raising the tiger cubs at home? A. Boring. B. Tiring. C. Costly. D. Risky. 7. Why did the author decide to send Spot and Stripe back to the zoo? A. They frightened the children. B. They became difficult to contain. C. They annoyed the neighbours. D. They started fighting each other. C Researchers at the University of Waterloo are developing new technology that would free people with diabetes (糖尿病) from painful finger sticks to monitor their blood sugar. A team led by engineering professor George Shaker has combined radar and artificial intelligence(AI)to detect changes in glucose (葡萄糖) levels without the need to draw blood several times a day. The system under development uses the radar device to send high-frequency radio waves into liquids containing various levels of glucose and receive radio waves that are reflected back to it. Information on the reflected waves is then changed into digital data for analysis by machine-learning AI, developed by the researchers. The software is capable of detecting glucose changes based on more than 500 wave features or characteristics including how long it takes for them to return to the device. Initial tests with volunteers at the Research Institute for Aging in Waterloo achieved results that were 85 percent as accurate as traditional, invasive (穿刺式的) blood analysis. “The result was actually amazing,” says Shaker. “We have shown it is possible to use radar to look into blood to detect changes.” Next steps include enhancing the system to precisely quantify glucose levels and obtain results through the skin, which makes the process more challenging. The research team is also working with German hardware company Infineon to make the radar device smaller so that it is both low-cost and low-power. The data analyzed by AI is now sent wirelessly to computers, but the final aim is self-contained technology similar to the smartwatches that monitor heart rate. “I’m hoping we’ll see a wearable device on the market within the next five years,” Shaker says. “There are challenges, but the research has been going at a really good rate.” 8. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A. The radar-reflected wave analysis process. B. The technical principle underlying the system. C. The machine-learning-powered glucose detection. D. The high-frequency wave transmission technique. 9. What do Shaker’s words in paragraph 5 suggest? A. The radar system’s practicality is proven B. The radar technology’s limitations are noticed. C. The volunteers’ test performance was highlighted. D. The traditional blood analysis’s accuracy is emphasized. 10. What does the follow-up study focus on? A. Developing smartwatches for AI analysis. B. Exploring low-cost AI and radar technology. C. Improving skin-based glucose quantification. D. Sending analyzed data to computers wirelessly. 11. What is Shaker’s attitude toward the research? A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Approving. D Saying farewell to someone you love, even for a night, can be difficult, much less saying goodbye for a lifetime or forever in death. Juliet bid Romeo adieu (再见) for the evening with the words, “Parting is such sweet sorrow.” Sweet sorrow is an oxymoron. But this seeming contradiction is true in the context of relationships. Relationships are based on feelings, emotions, and passion. Deep friendships and loving relationships are measured by the level of emotional attachment. Emotions intensify over time. People spend time with the people they like. The more one person likes another person, the closer the relationship becomes. Each person in the relationship receives an emotional benefit from knowing the other person. Saying goodbye means separating from the people who make up a significant part of your emotional identity. Separation, even a temporary absence, from the people you have a deep emotional connection with can cause sorrow because you will no longer be able to enjoy their company. The sweet side of saying goodbye is the emotional fulfillment of being in a close relationship. The time spent together is emotionally rewarding, especially if that person is seen as a soulmate. Humans are social beings. We seek the love and comfort of other people. Loneliness devastates the human condition and leads to sadness. Sad people will do anything they can to find fulfilling relationships. Likewise, happy people will do anything they can to maintain or enhance relationships. Herein lies the essential point of the emotional problem. The more intense relationships become, the more devastating the emotional loss that is felt upon separation. The exhilaration of relationships cannot be truly measured without experiencing the overwhelming loss of a deep emotional connection. Enjoy the company of the person you are with as long as you can; knowing the pain you will feel at the end of the relationship is the true measure of the relationship. If it doesn’t hurt to say goodbye, perhaps it wasn’t worth saying hello. 12. Which of the word group can create the same effect as “sweet sorrow”? A icy cold B. clicking sound C. deafening silence D. endless speech 13. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. Saying goodbye is unavoidable in our daily life. B. The companion of close friends can lessen sorrow. C. A person’s identity is connected with relationship. D. Separation is the sorrowful part of saying goodbye. 14. What gives a person emotional satisfaction in social life? A. Making more communication with others. B. Building deep emotional connections with others. C. Comforting friends with love and intense feelings. D. Being a thoughtful person by standing in others’ shoes. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Sweet sorrow is very common in close relationships. B. The pain of separation is the measure of relationships. C. Human beings are eager to get emotional fulfillment. D. Happiness is meaningless without sadness to compare it. 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。 A recent study suggests that reading paper books does make you smarter.While all reading benefits the brain,particularly at a young age,physical books offer the most advantages.Students who read paper books scored approximately 2.5 years ahead of those who didn’t read,whereas digital readers scored just under a year ahead ____16____ A previous study has consistently shown that reading comprehension is better with paper books compared to digital reading. ____17____Even in areas where digital reading is more common,students who read paper books demonstrate a better understanding of the material.

I heard him say, “Yes, Miss Beisner,” and “I understand what you’re saying, Miss Beisner. I appreciate you sharing this information. We’ll see what we can do about the situation. Thank you for calling. Goodbye.” Miss Beisner was my first-grade teacher, and I loved her. I thought she felt the same about me, but now I was beginning to wonder. The tone of Dad’s voice, the redness in his cheeks, and his repeated clenching. And unclenching of fists made it pretty clear. This was not a warm and fuzzy good news-from-the-teacher call. As I was deciding whether I should lock myself in my bedroom for the rest of my life or run away from home, Dad hung up the phone. “Jacquie, come here and sit down. We need to talk.” Uh-oh. When Dad said, “We need to talk,” it meant he needed to talk, and I needed to listen. I shuffled (拖着脚走) over to the well-worn brown chair in the corner of the living room, plopped down, and waited to hear the nature of my crime. Dad told me that Miss Beisner thought I was bright but not working up to my ability. She said I had strong verbal skills but weak study habits. Translation: I never closed my mouth and I seldom opened a book. Apparently, my failure to memorize the addition facts, or even attempt to, was more than she was willing to put up with. Hence, the telephone call. Dad ended our one-way conversation with a verbal outline for his plan of attack. Bubbles, our Toy Manchester Terrier, was going to teach me math. Silently, I thought, No way is any dumb dog going to teach me how to add, not even our beloved Bubbles. Out loud, I said, “How?” Dad summoned Bubbles from her bed near the stove and commanded her to sit. “Bubbles,” Dad said, “how much is five plus three?” Bubbles let out eight loud, crisp barks. I was incredulous (满腹狐疑的). I couldn’t understand how a dog could add, and I was more than a little embarrassed by the fact that the family dog was smarter than me. 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: After that, I threw myself into math with newfound determination. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: One day, I asked Dad whether Bubbles really knew how to add. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
