Every day after school, they would spend hours in their room building robots from old toy parts and broken machines. This year’s town robot competition was the biggest ever. Both brothers decided to join. Kevin built a strong robot named “Titan”. Tommy built a fast one called “Flash”. Each believed his robot was the best. On competition day, the town hall was full of excitement. Kevin and Tommy stood proudly beside their robots. The organizer, Mrs. Gable, came over and asked, “What can your robots do?” “Mine is super strong,” Kevin said proudly. “It can lift anything.” “Mine is super fast,” Tommy said, stepping in front of his brother. “It moves like lightning.” Just then, Mrs. Gable’s phone rang. After the call, her face fell. “Bad news, everyone,” she said. “The judge’s car broke down. He can’t get here. I’m afraid we have to cancel the competition.” A wave of disappointment swept through the room. An idea came to Kevin’s mind. “What if we work together?” he said to Tommy. “Your robot is fast, and mine is strong. Together, we could bring the judge here,” Tommy agreed. They quickly connected their robots. Soon, a new super robot was ready. BEEP! BEEP! Its eyes lit up, and then—ZOOM!—it rushed away. Everyone waited quietly. Could they really succeed? After what felt like hours, they saw something far away. It was the super robot, carrying the judge’s car! It put the car down gently. The judge stepped out, looking surprised and pleased. “Who built this amazing machine?” he asked. Kevin and Tommy stepped forward, a little nervously. “I’ve found the winners,” the judge said happily. “You both win— not just for building the robot, but for your teamwork and creativity.” The brothers smiled at each other. While the medal was nice, the joy of succeeding together felt even better. 24. How did the brothers feel when they showed their robots? A. Nervous. B. Curious. C. Proud. D. Shy. 25. Why did Mrs. Gable have to cancel the competition? A. Because the place was too crowded. B. Because the power went out in the town hall. C. Because the judge’s car broke down on the way. D. Because the organizers ran out of time for the event. 26. In the future, Kevin and Tommy will most probably ________. A. hold robot competitions in the city B. sell their super robot at a science fair C. work together as a robot-building team D. stop building robots and fix cars instead C Space agencies like the European Space Agency and the China National Space Agency are working to return astronauts to the Moon for the first time since the Apollo Program. However, more space flights to the Moon present several major challenges. One of the biggest is that sending things to the Moon takes days. In addition, it requires much more powerful rockets. So scientists are developing technologies that will allow astronauts to use local resources on the Moon. For example, water ice, which is common at the Moon’s south pole, can meet the needs for water. Lunar regolith (月球风化层) can be used to make building materials. Recently, research has also shown that plants can be grown in lunar soil. The research was carried out by Professor Mason and Dr. Lopez from a university in Britain. They planted the tea plants into lunar soil simulant (模拟物) and Martian (火星的) soil simulant and watched how the plants developed over the course of several weeks. They compared their results with a control group planted in the soil on Earth. They also controlled the temperature, the amount of water in the air, and the lighting to recreate a space environment. Researchers checked the growth and health of both groups carefully. The tea plants in the lunar soil simulant took root and grew as well as those in the control group, while plants in simulated Martian soil failed to grow. This is certainly good news for astronauts who are headed for the Moon in the coming years for lunar exploration. On the other hand, those space flights to Mars might have to wait a few years. As Prof. Mason said, we’re moving into a new age of space exploration, where we think about living in space and building bases on the Moon or Mars. These experiments tell us that plants on Earth, such as tea, may be grown in lunar soil within lunar greenhouses, allowing future astronauts who live and work on the moon to grow their own food. We are at the very earliest stages of research into space farming, but it is exciting to think that astronauts might one day have a tea break on the Moon, making a faraway world feel a little more like home. 27. According to the passage, which of the following is one of the biggest challenges of travelling to the Moon? A. The need for special materials. B. The long time spent on the way. C. The danger made by lunar regolith. D. The safety of astronauts on spaceships. 28. What can we learn from the research by Professor Mason and Dr. Lopez? A. They created space-like conditions to test plant growth. B. They wanted to find ways to send more food to the Moon. C. They studied why tea plants grew well in lunar soil simulant. D. They discovered water ice from the Moon helped plants grow faster. 29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Walking on Mars Might Take Longer Than We Thought. B. Living on the Moon Could Become a Reality in the Future. C. Growing Food in Space May Help Astronauts Stay Healthy. D Having Tea Grown on the Moon May One Day Be Possible. D Language is closely connected with symbolism, and so with deep thinking, problem solving, and creativity. These abilities make us by far the most adaptable (能适应的) of all animals. Language also allows us to explore more fields like art, science and so on. This is why language matters. The main purpose of language is to pass on thoughts from one mind to another. There is no doubt that language expresses thoughts, but does it control thoughts? Wittgenstein famously wrote that “The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.” Taken at face value, that seems too strong a statement. There are over 7,000 languages in the world. Among them, the number of basic color terms differs greatly from one language to another. Dani, spoken in New Guinea, and Bassa, spoken in Liberia, each have no more than two color terms, one for dark colors and the other for light colors. But, clearly, speakers of Dani and Bassa are able to understand and think about more than just “dark” and “light”. If language does not determine thoughts, how does it interact with thought? Russian and many other languages have two words for blue, one for lighter colors and the other for darker colors—goluboy and siniy in Russian. A study found that, compared to English speakers, Russian speakers were quicker to tell the difference between colors of goluboy and siniy. By creating these color groups, language acts as a powerful tool that helps us organize our thoughts and strengthens our ability to understand the world. In addition to vocabulary, much of what gives a language its own character lies in its grammar rules, which greatly shape our thoughts. When an accident happens, English speakers often state who is responsible directly (e.g., “He broke the window with a ball”). However, Spanish or Japanese speakers are more likely to omit the person and describe the event objectively (e.g., “The window got broken”). Research shows this habit helps English speakers remember the responsible person more easily, and they are also more likely to blame that person. This shows that language doesn’t just describe the world—it also helps shape how we understand it. These differences in how we talk about who caused an accident show that language changes not just our thoughts, but also the way we treat others. While language doesn’t control thought, it guides what we notice and how we think. This, in turn, affects how we interact with others. 30. Which of the following examples best shows the importance of language according to the passage? A. Following the instructions on the medicine to treat illness. B. Saying “please” and “thank you” to show your politeness. C. Using the word “zero” to help develop math and science. D. Remembering poems to get better test scores at school. 31. The writer mentions the speakers of Dani and Bassa to show ________. A. the thought beyond language B. the grammar rules of language C the need for language protection D. the cultural influence on language 32. The word “omit” in paragraph 5 most probably means ________. A. look for B. focus on C. turn down D. leave out 33. The writer probably agrees that ________. A. some languages are more useful than others B. a larger vocabulary makes expression easier C. learning new languages changes personality D. language helps organize thoughts by grouping 第二部分 本部分共5小题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（第1-3题每题2分，第4题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Today, social media influences how people shop. Unlike the traditional “influencing”, which encourages people to buy more, a new style is becoming more popular—deinfluencing. It means that content (内容) creators tell their followers not to buy some products. This change shows how people think about shopping is different now. Deinfluencing is no accident. It’s a natural reaction to too many ads online. For over ten years, content creators have turned into influencers who made people buy too many things, which was a top marketing method back then. Some popular products were called “must-haves”. But a key problem has appeared: companies often force influencers to put ads in their videos and use editing (剪辑) to hide product problems. This has led to more and more people not trusting influencer-suggested products. A recent study shows that only 12% trust influencer-suggested products, while 42% regret buying them. When prices rise, people usually shop more carefully and refuse to pay extra for “influencer names.” People also care more about the Earth. Making too many products hurts nature. Deinfluencing encourages people to buy what they really need, not what they just want. It tells them to pick things that last long and are good for the Earth. For companies, it’s a good chance to make a positive change. A famous company received complaints about its “uncomfortable toothpaste”. To deal with the complaints, it didn’t hide the problem but started real-life testing and even added “bad product suggestions” to its product page, which got more attention. More and more companies plan to work with content creators who try the products themselves and share honest reviews. These creators are more trusted than those making perfect ads. At heart, deinfluencing cleans up social media. It does not take away influencers’ power. Instead, it helps turn them from sellers into people we can trust. As experts say, “To be deinfluenced, one must first be influenced.” It helps people feel less stressed about what to buy. At the same time, only if a company is open and honest can it stay strong on social media. After all, good product quality speaks louder than any showy ads. 34. What does deinfluencing mean? ____________________________________ 35. Why are more and more people not trusting influencer-suggested products? ____________________________________ 36. How did the famous toothpaste company deal with the complaints? ____________________________________ 37. What do you think of the deinfluencing? Why?

It’s really meaningful! I suggest a “Book Fun Share” activity. Students can form small reading groups and meet for 20 minutes every week. Each person shares one or two interesting ideas from their books and tells why they like it. In this way, they’ll discover new books, learn from each other, and turn reading into a fun group experience. Knowing they’ll share also encourages them to read a little every day. Over time, students will develop a daily reading habit. I do hope that my suggestions will be helpful! Yours, Li Hua 【39题答案】 【答案】例文： Something from space exploration once moved me deeply. In the Tiangong class, astronauts did fun experiments in space, and seeing it all felt like discovering a whole new world—I could hardly believe my eyes. How amazing science can be! That moment inspired me to take an important step in my learning. I started trying something new: I now spend 15 minutes every day reading about space and other science news. This habit helps me learn beyond textbooks and stay curious. As a result, I’ve become more confident in exploring unknown topics. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
