Are you curious about the ocean and eager to build something with your own hands? Middle and high school students (grades 7—12) now have the chance to participate in the Underwater Robot Challenge, a national event that combines creativity, engineering, and ocean science. The task is simple yet exciting: design and build a small robot that can work under water, and discover how technology can help protect our seas.
How does it work?
Teams must send drafts and a short description of how their robot will move, keep its balance, and finish tasks. Marine engineers will review all plans, give feedback (反馈), and select up to 40 teams in the end. Robots should be battery-powered, no longer than 40 cm, and safe to use under water.
What happens in the pool?
Robots face a 5-minute test in a large pool. They need to collect floating objects, pass through underwater hoops (圈), record a 30-second video of the “deep world”, and finally return to the starting line. Every move is filmed, and teams later study the data to write reports. The best reports will win teams a place at the National Youth Marine Technology Conference, where up to four students per team may be present.
What about costs and awards?
Participating in the Challenge is free, but teams must cover materials, shipping, and travel if necessary. To help, non-local presenters can receive 400 in travel support. Prizes are 500, 300 and 150 respectively, with winning robots shown in an online exhibition.
Why join?
This Challenge offers far more than a school project. It is a chance to test ideas, gain real engineering experience, and add a shining point to your college applications — all while exploring the wonders of the ocean.
1. What is the main goal of the Challenge?
A. To popularize underwater robots. B. To test battery - powered machines.
C. To prepare for an international competition. D. To promote ocean protection through technology.
2. What will all participants get?
A. A guaranteed spot in the online exhibition.
B. Detailed reports on their robots’ performance.
C. Professional comments on their initial design.
D. A certain amount of financial travel support.
3. How much will a non-local first-prize winner receive in total?
A. $900. B. $700. C. $550. D. $500.
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A

When Michelle Jackson retired at 56, she felt as if a door had suddenly closed. After decades as an engineer designing high-speed trains for British Rail, the once-busy rhythm of meetings, deadlines, and projects was gone. The silence that followed felt heavier than she had expected. “What am I going to do now?” she asked herself, faced with long days and too much quiet time.
Luckily, five years later, she found her answer. At 61, Michelle picked up her first camera, determined to learn something entirely new. As a beginner, she joined a local walking and photography group, often spending hours outdoors experimenting with settings she barely understood at first. She also signed up for online courses in photography and Photoshop, insisting, “If I’m going to do something, I’ll do it properly.”
Michelle always loved nature. In her twenties, she hiked long distances such as the 268-mile Pennine Way in northern England. Yet back then, she never thought of bringing a camera. Only after retirement did she realize that photography could preserve what had always touched her: the quiet wonder of wild places and animals.
Her hearing loss, which once pushed her into retirement, has sharpened her vision. She notes that the weakening of one sense can strengthen another. This heightened perception, coupled with great patience, allows her to tolerate long waits in nature — whether for seabirds to form a heart with their heads or for a deer to enter the twilight.
Now in her mid-60s, Michelle has won national and international awards. She spends at least 20 hours a week in the field, hiding under nets for cover or lying in wet grass, always ready for the excitement of the unexpected. Yet for her, success is not measured by awards. “Each time I see an animal appear,” she says, “my heart races. If you truly seek them, you will find them.”
4. What pushed Michelle to take up photography?
A. Her interest in online courses.
B. Her sudden hearing loss.
C. Her emptiness after retirement.
D. Her thirst for expanding her social circle.
5. How does hearing loss influence Michelle?
A. It enhances her ability to see.
B. It causes her lots of problems in daily life.
C. It enriches her knowledge about wild animals.
D. It deepens her understanding of human-nature relationship.
6. What does Michelle probably think of the awards she has earned?
A. They have helped her gain wide recognition.
B. They bring motivation for her to keep taking photos.
C. They fail to compare with the joy of spotting wild animals.
D. They are a silent witness to her progress in photography.
7. What message does Michelle’s story deliver?
A. Well begun is half done. B. Age is no limit to passion.
C. Nature is the best medicine. D. Failure is the mother of success.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When Michelle Jackson retired at 56, she felt as if a door had suddenly closed.(米歇尔·杰克逊56岁退休时,感觉一扇门突然关上了。)”以及“The silence that followed felt heavier than she had expected. ‘What am I going to do now?’ she asked herself, faced with long days and too much quiet time.(随之而来的寂静比她预想的更沉重。“我现在要做什么?”面对漫长的日子和过多的安静时光,她自言自语)”及第二段首句“Luckily, five years later, she found her answer. At 61, Michelle picked up her first camera, determined to learn something entirely new.(幸运的是,五年后,她找到了答案。61岁时,米歇尔拿起了她的第一台相机,决心学习一些全新的东西)”可知,退休后的空虚感促使米歇尔开始接触摄影。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Her hearing loss, which once pushed her into retirement, has sharpened her vision. She notes that the weakening of one sense can strengthen another.(曾经迫使她退休的听力损伤,反而敏锐了她的视觉。她指出,一种感官的减弱会增强另一种感官)”可知,听力损伤提升了米歇尔的视觉能力。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Yet for her, success is not measured by awards. “Each time I see an animal appear,” she says, “my heart races. If you truly seek them, you will find them.”(然而对她来说,成功不是用奖项来衡量的。“每次看到动物出现,”她说,“我的心都会怦怦直跳。如果你真心去寻找它们,你就会找到它们。”)”可推断,米歇尔认为奖项远不及发现野生动物时的喜悦有价值。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述米歇尔56岁退休后陷入空虚,61岁才开始接触摄影这一全新领域,凭借热爱和坚持在六十多岁斩获国内外奖项,打破了年龄对追求热爱的限制。她的故事传递出“年龄不是激情的阻碍”。故选B项。
C
Humans are experts at rearranging matter. Advances in chemistry have given us lifesaving drugs, massive agricultural yields, and so on. But many of our chemical creations, like plastics and so-called forever chemicals, have an unpleasant tendency to hang around, showing up in our water, food, and even our bodies. It can feel disastrous: With the products of our technology now woven into remote ecosystems and our own flesh, there’s no escape for us.
However, we are not the only chemical engineers. Plants turn air into wood and sunlight into sugar, while microbes (微生物) perform remarkable functions. Using microbes for waste cleanup is already a proven technology. Many wastewater treatment plants rely on microbes to break down harmful substances in the waste water, though some complex compounds stay irremovable. Commercial microbial products are also used to treat waste from paper factories, textile factories, and farms, as well as to clean up oil and gas spills in enclosed (密闭的) spaces.
Yet, these microbial products have limitations. Beneficial microbes are often outcompeted by local species in the wild, and even in enclosed tanks, they eventually die off. The key to overcoming such challenges, according to microbiologist Jiandong Jiang, is to craft and spread intentionally designed microbial communities, or microbiomes.
To create customized microbiomes, Jiang and others are using a bottom-up approach. They identify the tasks they want their microbes to perform and then use tools to decide species capable of finishing those tasks. The goal is to design a community where microbes work cooperatively, with some breaking down pollutants into manageable parts for others to consume, and others providing supporting roles.
In the future, advances in synthetic (合成的) biology and genetic engineering may enable scientists to develop customized microbiomes capable of breaking down even more stubborn targets. While the use of genetically engineered or fully synthetic microbe cleanup crews in the wild is still a long-term vision, experts believe widespread use of customized microbiomes designed with the bottom-up approach could occur within the next decade.
8. What is a major problem of human chemical innovations?
A. They involve a rather long production cycle.
B. They are too expensive to produce massively.
C. They are less efficient than natural chemical processes.
D. They have severe impacts on the environment and humans.
9. What does the text say about the current microbial products?
A. They require testing in a wider context.
B. They perform worse in enclosed tanks.
C. They break down pollutants with ease.
D. They need specific working conditions.
10. How does Jiang’s bottom-up approach improve microbial cleanups?
A. By stressing teamwork among microbes.
B. By relying heavily on existing local species.
C. By using genetically engineered microbes from the start.
D. By selecting single species that can perform multiple functions.
11. What is the experts’ attitude towards the application of customized microbiomes?
A. Positive. B. Dismissive. C. Mixed. D. Worried.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. A

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But many of our chemical creations, like plastics and so-called forever chemicals, have an unpleasant tendency to hang around, showing up in our water, food, and even our bodies. It can feel disastrous: With the products of our technology now woven into remote ecosystems and our own flesh, there’s no escape for us. (但我们的许多化学制品,比如塑料和所谓的永久性化学物质,都有一个令人头疼的特点——会长期残留,出现在我们的水源、食物甚至身体里。这可能会带来灾难性的后果:我们的科技产物如今已经渗入偏远的生态系统和我们自己的身体,我们无处可逃。)”可知,人类化学创新的一个主要问题是其产物会对环境和人类造成严重影响。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Yet, these microbial products have limitations. Beneficial microbes are often outcompeted by local species in the wild, and even in enclosed tanks, they eventually die off. (然而,这些微生物产品存在局限性。有益微生物在野外往往会被本地物种竞争淘汰,即使是在密闭的容器中,它们最终也会消亡。)”可知,目前的微生物产品需要特定的工作条件才能发挥作用,在野外环境中难以存活,在密闭环境中也无法长期维持。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The goal is to design a community where microbes work cooperatively, with some breaking down pollutants into manageable parts for others to consume, and others providing supporting roles. (其目标是设计一个微生物协同工作的群落,一些微生物将污染物分解为可处理的部分供其他微生物分解利用,而另一些微生物则承担辅助作用。)”可知,蒋的自下而上方法通过强调微生物之间的团队协作来改善污染清理效果。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“While the use of genetically engineered or fully synthetic microbe cleanup crews in the wild is still a long-term vision, experts believe widespread use of customized microbiomes designed with the bottom-up approach could occur within the next decade. (尽管在野外使用基因工程或完全合成的微生物清理团队仍然是一个长期愿景,但专家们认为,采用自下而上方法设计的定制化微生物群落有望在未来十年内得到广泛应用。)”可知,专家们对于定制化微生物群落的应用前景持积极态度。故选A项。

Beneath the Viphya Mountains in Malawi lies Mzimba, a district where poverty runs deep. Malawi’s GDP per capita is barely six hundred dollars, and there are few opportunities for children. But in classrooms where chalk once faded and teachers struggled with overcrowded lessons, something unexpected has appeared: interactive tablets.
Since 2023, the government, working with a UK non-profit called Onebillion, has introduced adaptive devices that teach literacy and numeracy (计算能力) in both Chichewa and English. What makes these tablets remarkable is not simply that they deliver lessons, but that they adjust. A child uncertain about basic numbers is guided patiently through simple problems, while another, confident with letters, is swiftly advanced to harder passages. Rarely has education in rural Africa been so individualized.
That such technology matters is beyond doubt. Randomized trial has found that children using the tablets for merely one hour daily gained the equal of four additional months of learning within just over a year. Even more impressive is the prediction: these skills may add more than sixteen thousand dollars to lifetime earnings, a sum extraordinary in one of the world’s poorest nations.
No teachers have resisted. Overwhelmed by a student-teacher ratio (比例) that often exceeds 70:1, they welcome the devices, for while children are engaged with interactive exercises, teachers can focus on guidance rather than endless repetition. Indeed, rarely has a reform been so highly endorsed by both educators and students.
However, challenges remain. Limited electricity makes solar panels essential, and concerns about damaged or lost tablets cannot be ignored. Yet, compared with the cost, the benefits are vast. For every dollar spent, researchers calculated more than one hundred dollars of social value returned. Not only is this an innovation; it is a revolution. By allowing each child to learn at his or her own pace, the tablets sow seeds of confidence and possibility — seeds that, once planted, may reshape an entire generation’s future.
12. What did Malawi’s government do in 2023?
A. It established a nonprofit organization.
B. It adjusted its focus on literacy and numeracy.
C. It strengthened the role of English in education.
D. It integrated tailored teaching into the classroom.
13. What did the trial on the devices reveal?
A. They helped build social skills. B. They bore fruitful results.
C. They delivered fixed content. D. They ran out of power quickly.
14. What does the underlined word “endorsed” in paragraph 4 mean?
A Intensified. B. Developed. C. Appreciated. D. Criticized.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Teachers’ Roles Change with Educational Innovation
B. Interactive Tablets Reshape Rural Education in Malawi
C. The Tough Educational Situation in Poor African Areas
D. Challenges of Applying Technology in Rural Classrooms
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍马拉维政府引入交互式平板开展个性化教学,助力贫困地区儿童提升学习能力,及该举措的成效与面临的挑战。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Since 2023, the government, working with a UK non-profit called Onebillion, has introduced adaptive devices that teach literacy and numeracy (计算能力) in both Chichewa and English. What makes these tablets remarkable is not simply that they deliver lessons, but that they adjust. A child uncertain about basic numbers is guided patiently through simple problems, while another, confident with letters, is swiftly advanced to harder passages. (2023年以来,该国政府与英国非营利组织“十亿”合作,引入了自适应设备,用奇切瓦语和英语教授识字与计算能力。这些平板电脑的非凡之处,不仅仅在于它们能授课,更在于它们可以灵活调整教学内容。对基础数字掌握不扎实的孩子,会被耐心引导着做简单的题目,而对字母运用熟练的孩子,则会快速过渡到难度更高的内容。)”可知,马拉维政府在2023年将因材施教的个性化教学融入了课堂。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Randomized trial has found that children using the tablets for merely one hour daily gained the equal of four additional months of learning within just over a year. Even more impressive is the prediction: these skills may add more than sixteen thousand dollars to lifetime earnings, a sum extraordinary in one of the world’s poorest nations. (随机对照试验发现,儿童每天仅使用平板电脑一小时,一年多的时间里学到的知识就相当于额外接受了四个月的教育。更令人瞩目的是这样一项预测:这些技能可能会为他们的终身收入增加一万六千多美元,这笔钱在这个世界上最贫穷的国家之一算得上是一笔巨款。)”可知,这项关于平板设备的试验显示出了丰硕的成果。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“No teachers have resisted. Overwhelmed by a student-teacher ratio (比例) that often exceeds 70:1, they welcome the devices, for while children are engaged with interactive exercises, teachers can focus on guidance rather than endless repetition. Indeed, rarely has a reform been so highly endorsed by both educators and students. (没有任何一位教师表示反对。面对常常超过70:1的师生比,老师们早已不堪重负,他们对这些设备表示欢迎,因为当孩子们投入到互动练习中时,老师们可以专注于指导性工作,而非机械重复的教学。事实上,很少有一项改革能得到教育工作者和学生如此高度的认可。)”可知,前文提到教师欢迎该设备,因此“endorsed”的意思是认可、赞赏,与“appreciated”含义相近。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,第一段引出马拉维贫困地区引入交互式平板的背景,第二段介绍平板的个性化教学功能,第三段说明使用平板的显著成效,第四段讲述师生对该举措的态度,第五段分析面临的挑战与长远价值。全文围绕交互式平板给马拉维农村教育带来的变革展开,因此“Interactive Tablets Reshape Rural Education in Malawi(交互式平板电脑重塑马拉维农村教育)”概括了文章的主题,适合作为最佳标题。故选B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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Meg Josephson, a psychotherapist (心理治疗师) in San Francisco, once met a client who left every party convinced — without proof — that everyone secretly disliked her. ____16____ Many people know the pain of overthinking: worrying about a short text, panicking when a neighbor doesn’t say hello, or fearing that a simple chat with the boss means being fired.
Josephson explained that this constant self-doubt has a name: fawning. ____17____ The idea was introduced by psychologist Pete Walker, who saw it as a survival skill developed in childhood struggles. While research is still in its early stage, therapists agree that fawning can keep people safe in threatening environments but becomes harmful when it controls everyday life.
Why? Because the body stays on high alert even when there’s no danger. Josephson herself grew up in a tense home, always smoothing over her father’s anger. ____18____ People who fawn constantly monitor others’ moods, believing, “I can’t be OK unless they’re OK.”
____19____ First, don’t assume you’ve done something wrong. Pause and ask if the story in your head is really true. Second, check your people - pleasing habits. Instead of saying “No problem” when it actually is, try being honest: “That was hard for me.” Start small with safe situations. Finally, aim for authentic communication. Clear words build stronger relationships than constant guessing.
Josephson reminds us that we cannot control other people’s happiness. We might bend over backward to make a partner smile or a co - worker approve, but their moods are ultimately their own responsibility, not ours. ____20____
A. This feeling wasn’t unique.
B. Make honest communication your goal.
C. Josephson offers ways to break this cycle.
D. Removing fawning is easier said than done.
E. It means pleasing others to avoid conflict.
F. Later, as a therapist, she saw how common this pattern is.
G. Real freedom begins when we stop trying to manage how others feel.
【答案】16. A 17. E 18. F 19. C 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍讨好型自我怀疑的心理现象,分析其定义、成因及危害,并给出打破该心理模式的方法和相关告诫。
【16题详解】
根据空前的“Meg Josephson, a psychotherapist in San Francisco, once met a client who left every party convinced — without proof — that everyone secretly disliked her. (旧金山的心理治疗师梅格·约瑟夫森曾经遇到一位来访者,这位来访者每次参加完派对都会认定——没有任何证据——每个人都暗地里不喜欢自己)”以及空后的“Many people know the pain of overthinking: worrying about a short text, panicking when a neighbor doesn’t say hello, or fearing that a simple chat with the boss means being fired.(很多人都体会过过度思考的痛苦:为一条简短的信息而烦恼,因邻居没打招呼而惊慌失措,或是担心和老板的一次简单对话就意味着自己要被解雇)”可知,此空应是承上启下,表明前文来访者的感受并非个例。A选项“This feeling wasn’t unique.(这种感受并不是独一无二的)”中的this feeling指代前文来访者认定他人不喜欢自己的感受,且引出后文很多人有类似过度思考的痛苦,符合语境。故选A项。
【17题详解】
根据空前的“Josephson explained that this constant self-doubt has a name: fawning.(约瑟夫森解释说,这种持续的自我怀疑有一个名字:讨好型自我怀疑)”可知,此空应是对“fawning”这个概念进行具体解释。E选项“It means pleasing others to avoid conflict.(它意味着通过取悦他人来避免冲突)”中的it指代前文的“fawning”,且准确解释了该心理现象的定义,符合语境。故选E项。
【18题详解】
根据空前的“Josephson herself grew up in a tense home, always smoothing over her father’s anger.(约瑟夫森自己成长在一个气氛紧张的家庭,总是去平息父亲的怒火)”以及空后的“People who fawn constantly monitor others’ moods, believing, “I can’t be OK unless they’re OK.”(有讨好型自我怀疑心理的人会持续关注他人的情绪,他们认为“除非他们过得好,否则我也不会好”)”可知,此空应是讲述约瑟夫森自身经历和她作为治疗师看到的情况之间的关联。F选项“Later, as a therapist, she saw how common this pattern is.(后来,作为一名治疗师,她发现这种行为模式非常普遍)”中的she指代约瑟夫森,“this pattern”指代前文她平息父亲怒火的讨好行为模式,且衔接后文对这类人群特征的描述,符合语境。故选F项。
【19题详解】
根据空后的“First, don’t assume you’ve done something wrong. Pause and ask if the story in your head is really true. Second, check your people-pleasing habits. Instead of saying “No problem” when it actually is, try being honest: “That was hard for me.” Start small with safe situations. Finally, aim for authentic communication. Clear words build stronger relationships than constant guessing.(首先,不要认定自己做错了什么。停下来想一想,你脑子里的想法是否真的属实。其次,审视自己的讨好型习惯。当事情确实有难度时,不要说“没问题”,试着诚实表达:“这对我来说很难”。从安全的场景开始,从小事做起。最后,力求真诚沟通。清晰的言语比不断的猜测更能建立牢固的关系)”可知,此空应是引出下文给出的具体方法。C选项“Josephson offers ways to break this cycle.(约瑟夫森提供了打破这种循环的方法)”中的ways对应下文的“First”、“Second”和“Finally”引出的具体措施,“this cycle”指代讨好型自我怀疑的心理循环,符合语境。故选C项。
【20题详解】
根据空前的“Josephson reminds us that we cannot control other people’s happiness. We might bend over backward to make a partner smile or a co-worker approve, but their moods are ultimately their own responsibility, not ours.(约瑟夫森提醒我们,我们无法控制别人的快乐。我们可能会竭尽全力去取悦伴侣,让伴侣展露笑容,或是去获得同事的认可,但他们的情绪最终是他们自己的责任,而非我们的)”可知,此空应是对前文内容进行总结升华。G选项“Real freedom begins when we stop trying to manage how others feel.(当我们不再试图去掌控他人的感受时,真正的自由才会开始)”是对前文“无法控制他人情绪,不必为他人情绪负责”这一观点的进一步总结,符合语境。故选G项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章聚焦贵州侗族小黄村82岁国家级传承人潘萨银花,围绕侗族大歌展开三方面介绍:艺术特色、文化地位和传承现状。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这是82岁的Pan Sayinhua的声音,她一生都致力于守护侗族大歌。空格处引导非限定性定语从句,修饰先行词Pan Sayinhua,指人,且关系词在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词who引导从句。故填who。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:与大多数坚持单一旋律的中国传统音乐不同,侗族大歌涉及多种声音。stick to“坚持”是固定搭配。故填to。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:与大多数坚持单一旋律的中国传统音乐不同,侗族大歌涉及多种声音。a wide range of“一大批……、一系列……”是固定搭配。故填a。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些声音结合在一起,创造出如此丰富的和声,让听众感觉完全被声波包围。空格处作目的状语,应该用不定式形式。故填to create。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:没有乐器伴奏,歌手们只用呼吸和声音构建一个既有力又纯净的世界。空格处在“with复合结构”中作宾语补足语,动词accompany与宾语no musical instruments之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词accompanying作宾语补足语。故填accompanying。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:没有乐器伴奏,歌手们只用呼吸和声音构建一个既有力又纯净的世界。空格处与下文的pure并列作表语,应该用形容词powerful。故填powerful。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意:联合国教科文组织认识到其美丽和重要性,于2009年将侗族大歌列入人类非物质文化遗产名录。空格处是谓语动词,根据下文的时间状语in 2009可知,此处描述过去发生的事,应该用一般过去时。故填placed。
【43题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意:然而,遗产只有在传承时才具有生命力。根据空格前的连词when可知,此处是时间状语从句的省略,when引导的完整从句是when it is passed down,从句的主语与主句的主语一致,且从句中有be动词is,符合状语从句省略的条件,省略从句的主语和be动词。故填passed。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意:这就是为什么作为国家级传承人的Pan不知疲倦地歌唱和教学。空格前的sings与空格后的teaches是并列关系,应该用连词and连接。故填and。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:因此,侗族大歌不仅仅是音乐。它是记忆、身份和希望的承载者——一份仍在侗族人民心中跳动的古老礼物。空格处作表语,空格前有定冠词the修饰,且后面接of短语,需用名词;bear对应的名词形式为 bearer,意为”承载者”,且此处为单数意义,故填bearer。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Eli’s notebook slipped from his hands as his father’s car rushed out of the driveway — another early morning, another quiet goodbye. Thomas Cole rarely spoke: no “good morning”, no “how was school”, just punishing workdays at his construction company, building skyscrapers while Eli grew up feeling invisible. Their house was neat but cold: a spotless kitchen, a home office piled with blueprints, and no photos of father and son on the walls. Every time Eli watched his friends hug their dads and laugh with them, his heart ached a little more, and the thought that his own father didn’t care about him sank even deeper.
“It seems as if I were living with a stranger,” Eli once complained to his best friend, his eyes wet. Thomas lost his wife when Eli was five, and since then, work had become his escape. He’d get up and leave home at 5 a.m., return after 9 p. m., too tired to chat, believing providing for Eli — paying his school fees, buying him whatever he needed — was enough. But Eli was hungry for words, warmth, proof that he mattered. “He never asks about my soccer games, and never remembers my birthday,” he’d complain, ignoring how Thomas always left a warm breakfast on the counter, and how his clothes were always folded neatly.
One rainy evening, Eli rode his bike home as usual. Unexpectedly, he lost his balance on the wet road and fell down. The next thing he knew, he was being rushed to the hospital. His father, Thomas, had been called from work and hurried over to his side. When Eli woke in the hospital, he saw his father — disheveled, eyes bloodshot, his work boots still caked in mud. He didn’t say much, but just adjusted Eli’s pillow, handed him a glass of water, and sat silently by the bed. It turned out that Thomas took the next two weeks off work — something no one at his company had ever seen. He cooked Eli’s favorite food, helped him shower and change with gentle, awkward movements, and read to him at night — softly yet hesitantly, as if he was afraid to break the silence.
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。
The two weeks passed in a strange new rhythm.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After being released from hospital, Eli had a deep conversation with his father.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
The two weeks passed in a strange new rhythm. Eli watched his father move through the quiet room with a determination he’d never seen. Thomas would pause, as if searching for words, before asking, “Need anything?” It was always a physical need, like water, food or the remote control. Yet in the clumsy gestures of care, Eli realized his father’s profound love for him. The silence was no longer empty; it was filled with gestures. Eli noticed Thomas’s rough hands handling him gently and his frowning over medical instructions as intently as blueprints.
After being released from hospital, Eli had a deep conversation with his father. It didn’t happen in the noisy car ride home, but later, in the evening’s soft light, sitting in their backyard with damp rain air lingering. Thomas spoke first. “I tried building a strong and perfect world so you’d never feel my cracks after your mom left,” he said bitterly. Eli listened, replying not in pain, but with understanding: “I don’t need a perfect world, Dad — I just need to be in yours.” The high wall in Eli’s heart finally broke down. Through this incident, both father and son realized that true love lies in open and honest communication and long-term companionship.
【解析】
【导语】本文一段人物为线索展开。文章讲述了Eli与他寡言少语的父亲Thomas之间的关系变化。Eli因父亲的忙碌和沉默而感到被忽视,父亲则以为默默付出便是尽责。一次意外受伤让Thomas放下工作,开始用行动关心Eli,Eli也逐渐感受到了父亲深沉的爱。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
由第一段首句“两个星期以一种奇怪的新节奏过去了。”可知,第一段需描写Eli适应父亲的默默关怀,从笨拙举动中感受爱。
由第二段首句“从医院出院后,Eli和他的父亲进行了一次深入的交谈。”可知,第二段需描写父子出院后的交流、心墙破除与情感升华。
2. 续写线索: 父子相处的新节奏——父亲笨拙的关心——Eli的感悟——出院后的深入交流——父子情深化
3. 词汇激活:
行为类
①注视,观察:watch/observe
②停顿,暂停:pause/halt
③回应,回答:reply/respond
情绪类
①决心,坚定:determination/resolve/purpose
②理解,体谅:understanding/empathy/sympathy
【点睛】[高分句型1]Thomas would pause, as if searching for words, before asking, “Need anything?”(运用了as if引导的状语从句的省略)
[高分句型2]I tried building a strong and perfect world so you’d never feel my cracks after your mom left,” he said bitterly.(运用了after引导的时间状语从句)
[高分句型3]Through this incident, both father and son realized that true love lies in open and honest communication and long-term companionship.(运用了that引导的宾语从句)

Are you curious about the ocean and eager to build something with your own hands? Middle and high school students (grades 7—12) now have the chance to participate in the Underwater Robot Challenge, a national event that combines creativity, engineering, and ocean science. The task is simple yet exciting: design and build a small robot that can work under water, and discover how technology can help protect our seas.
How does it work?
Teams must send drafts and a short description of how their robot will move, keep its balance, and finish tasks. Marine engineers will review all plans, give feedback (反馈), and select up to 40 teams in the end. Robots should be battery-powered, no longer than 40 cm, and safe to use under water.
What happens in the pool?
Robots face a 5-minute test in a large pool. They need to collect floating objects pass through underwater hoops (圈), record a 30-second video of the “deep world”, and finally return to the starting line. Every move is filmed, and teams later study the data to write reports. The best reports will win teams a place at the National Youth Marine Technology Conference, where up to four students per team may be present.
What about costs and awards?
Participating in the Challenge is free, but teams must cover materials, shipping, and travel if necessary. To help, non-local presenters can receive 400 in travel support. Prizes are 500, 300 and 150 respectively, with winning robots shown in an online exhibition.
Why join?
This Challenge offers far more than a school project. It is a chance to test ideas, gain real engineering experience, and add a shining point to your college applications — all while exploring the wonders of the ocean.
1. What is the main goal of the Challenge?
A. To popularize underwater robots. B. To test battery - powered machines.
C. To prepare for an international competition. D. To promote ocean protection through technology.
2. What will all participants get?
A. A guaranteed spot in the online exhibition.
B. Detailed reports on their robots’ performance.
C. Professional comments on their initial design.
D. A certain amount of financial travel support.
3. How much will a non-local first-prize winner receive in total?
A. $900. B. $700. C. $550. D. $500.

When Michelle Jackson retired at 56, she felt as if a door had suddenly closed. After decades as an engineer designing high-speed trains for British Rail, the once-busy rhythm of meetings, deadlines, and projects was gone. The silence that followed felt heavier than she had expected. “What am I going to do now?” she asked herself, faced with long days and too much quiet time.
Luckily, five years later, she found her answer. At 61, Michelle picked up her first camera, determined to learn something entirely new. As a beginner, she joined a local walking and photography group, often spending hours outdoors experimenting with settings she barely understood at first. She also signed up for online courses in photography and Photoshop, insisting, “If I’m going to do something, I’ll do it properly.”
Michelle always loved nature. In her twenties, she hiked long distances such as the 268-mile Pennine Way in northern England. Yet back then, she never thought of bringing a camera. Only after retirement did she realize that photography could preserve what had always touched her: the quiet wonder of wild places and animals.
Her hearing loss, which once pushed her into retirement, has sharpened her vision. She notes that the weakening of one sense can strengthen another. This heightened perception, coupled with great patience, allows her to tolerate long waits in nature — whether for seabirds to form a heart with their heads or for a deer to enter the twilight.
Now in her mid-60s, Michelle has won national and international awards. She spends at least 20 hours a week in the field, hiding under nets for cover or lying in wet grass, always ready for the excitement of the unexpected. Yet for her, success is not measured by awards. “Each time I see an animal appear,” she says, “my heart races. If you truly seek them, you will find them.”
4. What pushed Michelle to take up photography?
A. Her interest in online courses.
B. Her sudden hearing loss.
C. Her emptiness after retirement.
D. Her thirst for expanding her social circle.
5. How does hearing loss influence Michelle?
A. It enhances her ability to see.
B. It causes her lots of problems in daily life.
C. It enriches her knowledge about wild animals.
D. It deepens her understanding of human-nature relationship.
6. What does Michelle probably think of the awards she has earned?
A. They have helped her gain wide recognition.

Humans are experts at rearranging matter. Advances in chemistry have given us lifesaving drugs, massive agricultural yields, and so on. But many of our chemical creations, like plastics and so-called forever chemicals, have an unpleasant tendency to hang around, showing up in our water, food, and even our bodies. It can feel disastrous: With the products of our technology now woven into remote ecosystems and our own flesh, there’s no escape for us.
However, we are not the only chemical engineers. Plants turn air into wood and sunlight into sugar, while microbes (微生物) perform remarkable functions. Using microbes for waste cleanup is already a proven technology. Many wastewater treatment plants rely on microbes to break down harmful substances in the waste water, though some complex compounds stay irremovable. Commercial microbial products are also used to treat waste from paper factories, textile factories, and farms, as well as to clean up oil and gas spills in enclosed (密闭的) spaces.
Yet these microbial products have limitations. Beneficial microbes are often outcompeted by local species in the wild, and even in enclosed tanks, they eventually die off. The key to overcoming such challenges, according to microbiologist Jiandong Jiang, is to craft and spread intentionally designed microbial communities, or microbiomes.
To create customized microbiomes, Jiang and others are using a bottom-up approach. They identify the tasks they want their microbes to perform and then use tools to decide species capable of finishing those tasks. The goal is to design a community where microbes work cooperatively, with some breaking down pollutants into manageable parts for others to consume, and others providing supporting roles.
In the future, advances in synthetic (合成的) biology and genetic engineering may enable scientists to develop customized microbiomes capable of breaking down even more stubborn targets. While the use of genetically engineered or fully synthetic microbe cleanup crews in the wild is still a long-term vision, experts believe widespread use of customized microbiomes designed with the bottom-up approach could occur within the next decade.
8. What is a major problem of human chemical innovations?
A. They involve a rather long production cycle.
B. They are too expensive to produce massively.
C. They are less efficient than natural chemical processes.
D. They have severe impacts on the environment and humans.
9. What does the text say about the current microbial products?
A. They require testing in a wider context.
B. They perform worse in enclosed tanks.
C. They break down pollutants with ease.
D. They need specific working conditions.
10. How does Jiang’s bottom-up approach improve microbial cleanups?
A. By stressing teamwork among microbes.
B. By relying heavily on existing local species.
C. By using genetically engineered microbes from the start.
D. By selecting single species that can perform multiple functions.
11. What is the experts’ attitude towards the application of customized microbiomes?
A. Positive. B. Dismissive. C. Mixed. D. Worried.
D
Beneath the Viphya Mountains in Malawi lies Mzimba, a district where poverty runs deep. Malawi’s GDP per capita is barely six hundred dollars, and there are few opportunities for children. But in classrooms where chalk once faded and teachers struggled with overcrowded lessons, something unexpected has appeared: interactive tablets.
Since 2023, the government, working with a UK non-profit called Onebillion, has introduced adaptive devices that teach literacy and numeracy (计算能力) in both Chichewa and English. What makes these tablets remarkable is not simply that they deliver lessons, but that they adjust. A child uncertain about basic numbers is guided patiently through simple problems, while another, confident with letters, is swiftly advanced to harder passages. Rarely has education in rural Africa been so individualized.
That such technology matters is beyond doubt. Randomized trial has found that children using the tablets for merely one hour daily gained the equal of four additional months of learning within just over a year. Even more impressive is the prediction: these skills may add more than sixteen thousand dollars to lifetime earnings, a sum extraordinary in one of the world’s poorest nations.
No teachers have resisted. Overwhelmed by a student-teacher ratio (比例) that often exceeds 70:1, they welcome the devices, for while children are engaged with interactive exercises, teachers can focus on guidance rather than endless repetition. Indeed, rarely has a reform been so highly endorsed by both educators and students.
However, challenges remain. Limited electricity makes solar panels essential, and concerns about damaged or lost tablets cannot be ignored. Yet, compared with the cost, the benefits are vast. For every dollar spent, researchers calculated more than one hundred dollars of social value returned. Not only is this an innovation; it is a revolution. By allowing each child to learn at his or her own pace, the tablets sow seeds of confidence and possibility — seeds that, once planted, may reshape an entire generation’s future.
12. What did Malawi’s government do in 2023?
A. It established a nonprofit organization.
B. It adjusted its focus on literacy and numeracy.
C. It strengthened the role of English in education.
D. It integrated tailored teaching into the classroom.
13. What did the trial on the devices reveal?
A. They helped build social skills. B. They bore fruitful results.
C. They delivered fixed content. D. They ran out of power quickly.
14. What does the underlined word “endorsed” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Intensified. B. Developed. C. Appreciated. D. Criticized.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Teachers’ Roles Change with Educational Innovation
B. Interactive Tablets Reshape Rural Education in Malawi
C. The Tough Educational Situation in Poor African Areas
D. Challenges of Applying Technology in Rural Classrooms

Meg Josephson, a psychotherapist (心理治疗师) in San Francisco, once met a client who left every party convinced — without proof — that everyone secretly disliked her. ____16____ Many people know the pain of overthinking: worrying about a short text, panicking when a neighbor doesn’t say hello, or fearing that a simple chat with the boss means being fired.
Josephson explained that this constant self-doubt has a name: fawning. ____17____ The idea was introduced by psychologist Pete Walker, who saw it as a survival skill developed in childhood struggles. While research is still in its early stage, therapists agree that fawning can keep people safe in threatening environments but becomes harmful when it controls everyday life.
Why? Because the body stays on high alert even when there’s no danger. Josephson herself grew up in a tense home, always smoothing over her father’s anger. ____18____ People who fawn constantly monitor others’ moods, believing, “I can’t be OK unless they’re OK.”
____19____ First, don’t assume you’ve done something wrong. Pause and ask if the story in your head is really true. Second, check your people - pleasing habits. Instead of saying “No problem” when it actually is, try being honest: “That was hard for me.” Start small with safe situations. Finally, aim for authentic communication. Clear words build stronger relationships than constant guessing.
Josephson reminds us that we cannot control other people’s happiness. We might bend over backward to make a partner smile or a co - worker approve, but their moods are ultimately their own responsibility, not ours. ____20____
A. This feeling wasn’t unique.
B. Make honest communication your goal.
C. Josephson offers ways to break this cycle.
D. Removing fawning is easier said than done.
E. It means pleasing others to avoid conflict.
F. Later, as a therapist, she saw how common this pattern is.
G. Real freedom begins when we stop trying to manage how others feel.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Eli’s notebook slipped from his hands as his father’s car rushed out of the driveway — another early morning, another quiet goodbye. Thomas Cole rarely spoke: no “good morning”, no “how was school”, just punishing workdays at his construction company, building skyscrapers while Eli grew up feeling invisible. Their house was neat but cold: a spotless kitchen, a home office piled with blueprints, and no photos of father and son on the walls. Every time Eli watched his friends hug their dads and laugh with them, his heart ached a little more, and the thought that his own father didn’t care about him sank even deeper.
“It seems as if I were living with a stranger,” Eli once complained to his best friend, his eyes wet. Thomas lost his wife when Eli was five, and since then, work had become his escape. He’d get up and leave home at 5 a.m., return after 9 p. m., too tired to chat, believing providing for Eli — paying his school fees, buying him whatever he needed — was enough. But Eli was hungry for words, warmth, proof that he mattered. “He never asks about my soccer games, and never remembers my birthday,” he’d complain, ignoring how Thomas always left a warm breakfast on the counter, and how his clothes were always folded neatly.
One rainy evening, Eli rode his bike home as usual. Unexpectedly, he lost his balance on the wet road and fell down. The next thing he knew, he was being rushed to the hospital. His father, Thomas, had been called from work and hurried over to his side. When Eli woke in the hospital, he saw his father — disheveled, eyes bloodshot, his work boots still caked in mud. He didn’t say much, but just adjusted Eli’s pillow, handed him a glass of water, and sat silently by the bed. It turned out that Thomas took the next two weeks off work — something no one at his company had ever seen. He cooked Eli’s favorite food, helped him shower and change with gentle, awkward movements, and read to him at night — softly yet hesitantly, as if he was afraid to break the silence.
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。
The two weeks passed in a strange new rhythm.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After being released from hospital, Eli had a deep conversation with his father.
