The house he lived in for the first few years of his life had no electricity. But Philo read about electricity and began to experiment with it. One night, Philo read a magazine about the idea of sending pictures and sound through the air. It said some of the world’s best scientists were using special machines to make a kind of device to send pictures. 14-year-old Philo thought these famous scientists were wrong. He decided that mechanical devices would never work. Philo believed such a device would have to be electronic. All he would have to do was find a way to make electrons do the work. Soon, Philo had an idea for such a receiver. It would trap light in a container and send the light on a line of electrons. Philo called it “light in a bottle”. Philo told his teacher about a device that could capture pictures. He drew a plan for it and gave it to his teacher. Philo’s drawing seemed simple. But it clearly showed the information needed to build a television. Philo’s teacher was Justin Tolman. Many years later, Philo would credit Mr. Tolman with guiding his imagination and helping him open the doors of science. In 1927, Philo turned on a device that was the first working television receiver. In another room was the first television camera. Philo had invented the special camera tube earlier that year. While the image produced on the receiver was not clear, the device worked. In 1930, the government gave Philo patent documents to protect his invention. Still, he became involved in legal disputes (纠纷) with a powerful company. Philo won but faced many business and financial difficulties in his life. He developed over 100 devices that helped make modern television possible. He also developed early radar, invented the first electronic microscope, and worked on developing peaceful uses of atomic energy (原子能). Philo Farnsworth died in 1971. He is considered one of the most important inventors of the 20th century. 24．Which can best describe 14-year-old Philo? A．Questionable and creative. B．Generous and experienced. C．Selfless and hard-working. D．Peace-loving and determined. 25．What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A．Share your kindness to others. B．Two heads are better than one. C．Teachers are key to shaping young minds. D．Actions speak louder than words. 26．Which contribution does NOT belong to Philo Farnsworth? A．The development of early radar. B．First discovery of atomic energy. C．The invention of electronic microscope. D．Various components of modern television. 27．How does the author develop the text? A．By analyzing causes. B．By making comparisons. C．By following time order. D．By questioning the points. C Scientists have made a breakthrough in helping those suffering from visual disorders by placing tiny electronic chips into the back of their eyes. The chips are only 2mm wide, about as thick as a grain of rice. A trial involved 38 patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (黄斑变性), a condition mostly affecting the elderly and making central vision unclear. Around 600,000 people in the UK have AMD．The trial was conducted at 17 hospitals in five European countries, including the UK. The patients had “dry AMD”, which damages light-detecting cells at the back of the eye. These cells transform light into electrical signals for the brain. When these cells are damaged or destroyed, they cause poor vision, and there is currently no cure for this condition. The tiny “bionic” chips can give people back some sight. Bionic means a man-made object that acts as a body part. The patients get a pair of glasses with a built-in video camera and a small pocket-sized black box that processes the data. When wearing the glasses, the patient looks at an object, for instance, a book. The camera captures the image, sends data to the black box for clarification, and the processed information is then delivered to the chip under the retina (视网膜). The wireless chip sends signals (just like TV remotes do) to the optic nerve (视觉神经), which communicates with the brain. However, patients need time to train their brains to interpret the images. Patients can only see in black and white, but it has significantly improved the lives of those who were treated. Seventy-year-old Sheila Irvine was one of the patients who took part in the trial. She is registered as blind, but now is able to read books and do crosswords. “It is amazing,” she told the BBC． “I am one happy cookie now.” Scientists are also excited. “Blind patients are actually able to have meaningful central vision restoration, which has never been done before,” said Mahi Muqit, an associate professor at University College London. 28．What can be inferred about the “breakthrough” mentioned in the first paragraph? A．It restores partial vision for a specific previously incurable condition. B．It marks the first successful medical application of bionic technology. C．It provides a complete and permanent cure for patients with AMD． D．Its innovation lies in the extremely small size of the electronic chip. 29．What is the main problem caused by “dry AMD”? A．It prevents the eyes from producing tears. B．It makes the patient’s glasses difficult to wear. C．It causes the optic nerve to stop working completely. D．It damages the light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye. 30．How does the bionic chip help patients regain sight? A．By delivering signals to the black box. B．By capturing clear images for the eyes. C．By changing light into electrical signals itself. D．By sending processed signals to the optic nerve. 31．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．A New Cure Discovered for Dry AMD B．A Breakthrough treatment for the Blind C．A Bionic Chip for Partial Vision Restoration D．A Wireless Chip for Instant AMD Sight Recovery D A team of Chinese scientists has developed a groundbreaking device capable of changing the friction (摩擦力) between vehicle tires (轮胎) and roads into clean electricity. The device,called the roadbed tribological energy harvester (RTE harvester), presents a novel approach to taking advantage of the vast and previously untapped source of energy. An estimated 85 percent of a car’s energy is lost to heat and friction, with tire-road interaction alone holding an untapped energy potential of around 0.3 terawatts annually worldwide, equal to the yearly output of 30 dams of the Three Gorges project in China. The researchers from Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems (BINN) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences crafted an energy collector implanted in the roadbed, capable of achieving a peak power output of 16.4 milliwatts from a single tire impact and achieving an impressive energy translation efficiency of 11.7 percent. The device, formed by a freestanding layer triboelectric nanogenerator array, is highly durable, operating stably across temperatures from minus 40℃ to 60℃ and varying humidity(湿度) levels, making it suitable for diverse global climates, according to the study published recently in the journal Science Advances. Its low cost, estimated at just $71.3 per square meter, makes it a highly practicable solution for widespread adoption across extensive road networks globally. Equipped with a self-powered, intelligent and connected transportation system, the innovation can supply energy to devices that monitor vehicle speed and weight, enhancing road safety and management without relying on external power sources. Placing the harvester over a 50-meter section can meet the power needs of traffic lights, cameras and other facilities along a one-kilometer road. “This breakthrough offers a new approach to efficient roadbed tribological energy harvesting and distributed power supply, paving the way for the integration of vehicle-to-road, vehicle-to-infrastructure (车辆与基础设施) and vehicle-to-everything systems,”said the paper’s co-corresponding authors Professor Wang and Professor Chen from the BINN. 32．What is the function of the RTE harvester? A．To improve tires’ durability. B．To monitor road conditions. C．To create a new energy source. D．To measure the heat from tires. 33．Why does the author mention the Three Gorges project? A．To emphasize the impact of vehicle emissions. B．To criticize the inefficiency of traditional dams. C．To compare the energy output of renewable sources. D．To highlight the scale of energy in tire-road friction. 34．What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on about the RTE harvester? A．Its applying prospects. B．Its testing procedures. C．Its working principle. D．Its basic components. 35．What is the professors’ attitude to the RTE harvester? A．Cautious. B．Hopeful. C．Suspicious. D．Dismissive. 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。 The Future of Daily Life: Tech That Will Change Us Technology is rapidly reshaping how we live, work and play in every corner of modern life. In the near future, our daily routines will look very different thanks to several exciting innovations. One of the biggest changes will be in our living spaces. 36 Imagine your house recognizing your voice to adjust the temperature, turn on lights, and even order groceries when supplies run low. These systems will learn your habits over time, making life more convenient and energy-efficient. Health monitoring will also take a big leap forward. New tools will let us monitor our health more closely without visiting doctors. For example, wearable devices may soon track not just your steps and heart rate, but also detect early signs of illnesses like diabetes (糖尿病) or heart disease. 37 Transportation is another area set for transformation. Self-driving cars are no longer a distant dream. Many companies are testing them on public roads. 38 They could also reduce traffic accidents caused by human error. Additionally, electric vehicles will become more affordable and widely available, helping to fight climate change. However, with all these changes come challenges. 39 Protecting personal data will be more important than ever. There is also the risk that some jobs may be replaced by technology, leaving people unemployed. 40 By preparing for these challenges and enjoying the benefits, we can make sure that future technology improves our lives rather than causes harm. The key is to use innovation wisely and fairly for everyone in society. A．Smart homes are already common today. B．Privacy and job security are top concerns. C．They’ll make daily travel safer and easier. D．The future of tech depends on how we adapt E．Smart homes will become even more intelligent. F．People will spend less time on housework and more on hobbies. G．This could help get earlier treatment, saving lives and cutting costs. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，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。 Yang Haoran, born into a family of cotton farmers, spent his childhood playing in the cotton fields.

Two new car models, developed by Chinese companies and 56 (equip) with Level 3(L3) autonomous driving technology, have been approved for road use. This is a key step for China’s smart car industry, 57 pushes the country closer to the era of practical self-driving travel. What is L3 autonomous driving? It is also called “conditional automation”. This means the car can complete most driving tasks in specific situations. On highways or fast city roads, the car can drive by 58 (it). It can handle steering, accelerating, slowing down and even avoiding small obstacles. The driver does not need to watch the road all the time. However, he or she must stay ready to take over. For example, if an animal suddenly 59 (cross) the road, the car will warn the driver. 60 driver then has 10 seconds to take back control. This 61 (aprove) is a significant milestone for the commercial use of autonomous driving technology in China. Now, L3 cars can take full control in specific areas. This means China has 62 (official ) entered the stage of “conditional self-driving” commercial trials. It also shows that China’s smart car technology is now 63 the world’s leading levels. Experts say we should remember that L3 is not “full self-driving”. The driver must always 64 (prepare) to take control! As the technology improves, self-driving cars may one day make our trips more convenient and secure, 65 (change) the way people travel in the future. 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66．假如你是李华，某英文学习网站邀请你以“畅想未来”为主题作一次5分钟的线上分享，请根据以下要点回复对方： 1. 表示感谢； 2. 承诺准备。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Sir/ Madam, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 67．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。 Among villagers lived Mark, an odd, thin, short man. Because Mark preferred his ideas for inventions to hard work in a field, he was often laughed at by the villagers. Fortunately, he didn’t have to work in the field, as his grandfather hired him to work at his blacksmith’s workshop. In his spare moments, Mark would devote himself to his inventions. A year ago, his grandfather made a kettle. Once he was waiting for the water to start boiling in the kettle, he saw the steam come out of the kettle and thought, “The steam comes out at pretty high speed. Could a huge kettle produce enough steam to drive a windmill?” It took him four months to create something like a steam engine. Mark continued thinking, “I’ll add wings, and it will be able to fly.” Mark built a wooden construction of an air vehicle and he powered the wings with the steam engine. Wings were waving just as birds do; however, the air vehicle didn’t go up even a little. The trial of starting the air vehicle lasted an hour and completely failed. “Hah! I told you that you wouldn’t make it!” his grandfather said, and many villagers laughed at him. But Mark didn’t mind that; he gathered all the courage and was determined to make a change. He went to the big bookstore in a faraway city and bought books on aircraft construction. He even bought back some parts and used metal sheets from the junkyards. Mark started studying the pictures more exactly. He built a fuselage (机身) with wheels, and he mounted a big airscrew (螺旋桨) on it. He worked hard to gather all the parts needed for the plane according to the drawings. It took Mark another six months to complete his plane. Despite the doubtfulness of his grandfather and other villagers, Mark transported the plane to a cliff atop the mountain with the help of friends. He believed pretty strong winds would significantly help his plane fly and he also believed he could make it this time. Paragraph 1: After getting everything ready, Mark got into his plane with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Fifteen minutes later, the plane landed by the riverside safely. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 14 1 / 14 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年高二英语选择性必修第三册单元自测（安徽专用） Unit 2·培优卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用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。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，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。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分1.5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．How many more trees can the machine plant than a person?

Having seen how the past has unfolded, I am curious about what the next 30 years would look like. Let’s explore how society might continue to evolve. The first tech advancement that we can expect in the future is the rise of 3D printing technology. Right now, we have 3D-printed tools and homes. In the future, we will be able to print more tools, and perhaps even some modes of transportation if bigger machines are built. The current trend of open source 3D printable files continues, and it will not be long before everyone prints their own large objects, like furniture and weapons. In 2050, transportation will have greatly changed. With pioneers leading the way in autonomous vehicle research, it’s foreseeable that by mid-century, fully automated cars will be commonplace. To be honest, this is just an exercise in imagination. Anyway, one thing is for certain: with how technology is progressing, I have no doubt that the world will be very different by 2050. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A AI robots are changing how we live and work.

The house he lived in for the first few years of his life had no electricity. But Philo read about electricity and began to experiment with it. One night, Philo read a magazine about the idea of sending pictures and sound through the air. It said some of the world’s best scientists were using special machines to make a kind of device to send pictures. 14-year-old Philo thought these famous scientists were wrong. He decided that mechanical devices would never work. Philo believed such a device would have to be electronic. All he would have to do was find a way to make electrons do the work. Soon, Philo had an idea for such a receiver. It would trap light in a container and send the light on a line of electrons. Philo called it “light in a bottle”. Philo told his teacher about a device that could capture pictures. He drew a plan for it and gave it to his teacher. Philo’s drawing seemed simple. But it clearly showed the information needed to build a television. Philo’s teacher was Justin Tolman. Many years later, Philo would credit Mr. Tolman with guiding his imagination and helping him open the doors of science. In 1927, Philo turned on a device that was the first working television receiver. In another room was the first television camera. Philo had invented the special camera tube earlier that year. While the image produced on the receiver was not clear, the device worked. In 1930, the government gave Philo patent documents to protect his invention. Still, he became involved in legal disputes (纠纷) with a powerful company. Philo won but faced many business and financial difficulties in his life. He developed over 100 devices that helped make modern television possible. He also developed early radar, invented the first electronic microscope, and worked on developing peaceful uses of atomic energy (原子能). Philo Farnsworth died in 1971. He is considered one of the most important inventors of the 20th century. 24．Which can best describe 14-year-old Philo? A．Questionable and creative. B．Generous and experienced. C．Selfless and hard-working. D．Peace-loving and determined. 25．What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A．Share your kindness to others. B．Two heads are better than one. C．Teachers are key to shaping young minds. D．Actions speak louder than words. 26．Which contribution does NOT belong to Philo Farnsworth? A．The development of early radar. B．First discovery of atomic energy. C．The invention of electronic microscope. D．Various components of modern television. 27．How does the author develop the text? A．By analyzing causes. B．By making comparisons. C．By following time order. D．By questioning the points. 【答案】24．A 25．C 26．B 27．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了美国20世纪著名发明家Philo Farnsworth的故事。 24．推理判断题。根据第二段“14-year-old Philo thought these famous scientists were wrong. He decided that mechanical devices would never work.(14 岁的菲洛认为这些著名的科学家是错的。他认定，机械装置是永远无法运转的。)”和第三段“All he would have to do was find a way to make electrons do the work. Soon, Philo had an idea for such a receiver. It would trap light in a container and send the light on a line of electrons. Philo called it “light in a bottle”.(他所要做的就是找到一种让电子发挥作用的方法。不久，菲洛就有了这样一个接收器的创意。它能把光困在一个容器里，然后让光沿着电子线路传输。菲洛将其称为“瓶中之光”。)”可知，14岁的Philo Farnsworth善于质疑并创新。故选A。 25．推理判断题。根据第四段的“Philo’s teacher was Justin Tolman.

The chips are only 2mm wide, about as thick as a grain of rice. A trial involved 38 patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (黄斑变性), a condition mostly affecting the elderly and making central vision unclear. Around 600,000 people in the UK have AMD．The trial was conducted at 17 hospitals in five European countries, including the UK. The patients had “dry AMD”, which damages light-detecting cells at the back of the eye. These cells transform light into electrical signals for the brain. When these cells are damaged or destroyed, they cause poor vision, and there is currently no cure for this condition. The tiny “bionic” chips can give people back some sight. Bionic means a man-made object that acts as a body part. The patients get a pair of glasses with a built-in video camera and a small pocket-sized black box that processes the data. When wearing the glasses, the patient looks at an object, for instance, a book. The camera captures the image, sends data to the black box for clarification, and the processed information is then delivered to the chip under the retina (视网膜). The wireless chip sends signals (just like TV remotes do) to the optic nerve (视觉神经), which communicates with the brain. However, patients need time to train their brains to interpret the images. Patients can only see in black and white, but it has significantly improved the lives of those who were treated. Seventy-year-old Sheila Irvine was one of the patients who took part in the trial. She is registered as blind, but now is able to read books and do crosswords. “It is amazing,” she told the BBC． “I am one happy cookie now.” Scientists are also excited. “Blind patients are actually able to have meaningful central vision restoration, which has never been done before,” said Mahi Muqit, an associate professor at University College London. 28．What can be inferred about the “breakthrough” mentioned in the first paragraph? A．It restores partial vision for a specific previously incurable condition. B．It marks the first successful medical application of bionic technology. C．It provides a complete and permanent cure for patients with AMD． D．Its innovation lies in the extremely small size of the electronic chip. 29．What is the main problem caused by “dry AMD”? A．It prevents the eyes from producing tears. B．It makes the patient’s glasses difficult to wear. C．It causes the optic nerve to stop working completely. D．It damages the light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye. 30．How does the bionic chip help patients regain sight? A．By delivering signals to the black box. B．By capturing clear images for the eyes. C．By changing light into electrical signals itself. D．By sending processed signals to the optic nerve. 31．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．A New Cure Discovered for Dry AMD B．A Breakthrough treatment for the Blind C．A Bionic Chip for Partial Vision Restoration D．A Wireless Chip for Instant AMD Sight Recovery 【答案】28．A 29．D 30．D 31．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家通过在患者眼睛后部植入微型电子芯片，帮助患有年龄相关性黄斑变性(AMD)等视觉障碍的人恢复部分视力的突破性治疗方法。 28．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Scientists have made a breakthrough in helping those suffering from visual disorders by placing tiny electronic chips into the back of their eyes.(科学家们取得了一项突破，通过在患者眼睛后部植入微型电子芯片来帮助那些患有视觉障碍的人)”、第二段中“The patients had “dry AMD”, which damages light-detecting cells at the back of the eye. These cells transform light into electrical signals for the brain. When these cells are damaged or destroyed, they cause poor vision, and there is currently no cure for this condition.(患者患有“干性AMD”，这种疾病会损害眼睛后部的光检测细胞。这些细胞将光转化为大脑的电信号。当这些细胞受损或被破坏时，会导致视力下降，目前还没有治愈这种疾病的方法)”和第三段中“The tiny “bionic” chips can give people back some sight.(微小的“仿生”芯片可以让人们恢复一些视力)”可推知，第一段中提到的“突破”是针对一种目前无法治愈的特定疾病(干性AMD)，可以患者恢复了部分视力。故选A项。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The patients had “dry AMD”, which damages light-detecting cells at the back of the eye.(患者患有“干性AMD”，这种疾病会损害眼睛后部的光检测细胞)”可知，“干性AMD”导致的主要问题是损害眼睛后部对光敏感的细胞。故选D项。 30．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The wireless chip sends signals (just like TV remotes do) to the optic nerve (视觉神经), which communicates with the brain.(无线芯片向视神经发送信号(就像电视遥控器一样)，视神经与大脑进行交流)”可知，仿生芯片通过将处理后的信号发送到视神经，从而帮助患者恢复视力。故选D项。 31．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Scientists have made a breakthrough in helping those suffering from visual disorders by placing tiny electronic chips into the back of their eyes. The chips are only 2mm wide, about as thick as a grain of rice.(科学家们取得了一项突破，通过在患者眼睛后部植入微型电子芯片来帮助那些患有视觉障碍的人。这些芯片只有2毫米宽，大约和一粒米一样厚)”可知，本文主要介绍了一种用于恢复部分视力的仿生芯片，故C项“用于恢复部分视力的仿生芯片”最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 D A team of Chinese scientists has developed a groundbreaking device capable of changing the friction (摩擦力) between vehicle tires (轮胎) and roads into clean electricity. The device,called the roadbed tribological energy harvester (RTE harvester), presents a novel approach to taking advantage of the vast and previously untapped source of energy. An estimated 85 percent of a car’s energy is lost to heat and friction, with tire-road interaction alone holding an untapped energy potential of around 0.3 terawatts annually worldwide, equal to the yearly output of 30 dams of the Three Gorges project in China. The researchers from Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems (BINN) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences crafted an energy collector implanted in the roadbed, capable of achieving a peak power output of 16.4 milliwatts from a single tire impact and achieving an impressive energy translation efficiency of 11.7 percent. The device, formed by a freestanding layer triboelectric nanogenerator array, is highly durable, operating stably across temperatures from minus 40℃ to 60℃ and varying humidity(湿度) levels, making it suitable for diverse global climates, according to the study published recently in the journal Science Advances. Its low cost, estimated at just $71.3 per square meter, makes it a highly practicable solution for widespread adoption across extensive road networks globally. Equipped with a self-powered, intelligent and connected transportation system, the innovation can supply energy to devices that monitor vehicle speed and weight, enhancing road safety and management without relying on external power sources. Placing the harvester over a 50-meter section can meet the power needs of traffic lights, cameras and other facilities along a one-kilometer road. “This breakthrough offers a new approach to efficient roadbed tribological energy harvesting and distributed power supply, paving the way for the integration of vehicle-to-road, vehicle-to-infrastructure (车辆与基础设施) and vehicle-to-everything systems,”said the paper’s co-corresponding authors Professor Wang and Professor Chen from the BINN. 32．What is the function of the RTE harvester?

Two new car models, developed by Chinese companies and 56 (equip) with Level 3(L3) autonomous driving technology, have been approved for road use. This is a key step for China’s smart car industry, 57 pushes the country closer to the era of practical self-driving travel. What is L3 autonomous driving? It is also called “conditional automation”. This means the car can complete most driving tasks in specific situations. On highways or fast city roads, the car can drive by 58 (it). It can handle steering, accelerating, slowing down and even avoiding small obstacles. The driver does not need to watch the road all the time. However, he or she must stay ready to take over. For example, if an animal suddenly 59 (cross) the road, the car will warn the driver. 60 driver then has 10 seconds to take back control. This 61 (aprove) is a significant milestone for the commercial use of autonomous driving technology in China. Now, L3 cars can take full control in specific areas. This means China has 62 (official ) entered the stage of “conditional self-driving” commercial trials. It also shows that China’s smart car technology is now 63 the world’s leading levels. Experts say we should remember that L3 is not “full self-driving”. The driver must always 64 (prepare) to take control! As the technology improves, self-driving cars may one day make our trips more convenient and secure, 65 (change) the way people travel in the future. 【答案】 56．equipped 57．which 58．itself 59．crosses 60．The 61．approval 62．officially 63．among 64．be prepared 65．changing 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国工信部批准两款配备 L3 级自动驾驶技术的新车上路，标志着中国正式进入有条件自动驾驶商业化试验阶段，技术达世界领先水平，但司机仍需随时准备接管车辆。 56．考查非谓语动词。句意：由中国企业研发、配备三级（L3）自动驾驶技术的两款新车已获准上路行驶。句子的谓语是 have been approved，因此这里需要填非谓语动词作后置定语。逻辑主语 Two new car models与 equip之间是被动关系，即“被装备了……”，所以用过去分词 equipped。故填equipped。 57．考查定语从句。句意：这是中国智能汽车产业的一个关键步骤，使该国更接近实用自动驾驶出行的时代。分析句子可知，这里需要一个关系代词引导非限制性定语从句，修饰前面的整个主句内容（即“这是中国智能汽车产业的关键一步” 这件事），且在从句中作主语，所以用 which。故填which。 58．考查代词。句意：在高速公路上或快速的城市道路上，汽车可以自行驾驶。by oneself 是固定搭配，意为 “独自地，靠自己”。这里指代主语 the car，所以用反身代词 itself。故填itself。 59．考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：例如，如果一只动物突然出现在路中央，汽车会向驾驶员发出警告。在if引导的条件状语从句中，遵循“主将从现”原则（主句用将来时，从句用一般现在时表将来）。主语 an animal 是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词用 crosses。故填crosses。 60．考查冠词。句意：然后驾驶员有 10 秒钟的时间重新掌控车辆。这里的driver 特指前面提到的“那个司机”，所以需要用定冠词 The 修饰。故填The。 61．考查名词。句意：此次批准是中国自动驾驶技术商业应用的重要里程碑。根据句子结构，这里需要一个名词作主语。approve的名词形式是 approval（批准，认可）。故填approval。 62．考查副词。句意：这意味着中国已正式进入“有条件自动驾驶”商业试验阶段。这里需要一个副词来修饰动词entered，表示“正式地进入”。official的副词形式是officially。故填officially。 63．考查介词。句意：这也表明，中国的智能汽车技术目前已达到世界领先水平。分析句子可知，此处为固定短语among the world’s leading levels 表示“在世界领先水平之中”，即中国处于世界领先行列，所以为介词among的填入。故填among。 64．考查动词语态。句意：驾驶员始终必须做好接管控制的准备！分析句子可知，此处为be prepared to do sth. 是固定搭配，意为“准备好做某事”。情态动词must后接动词原形 be。故填be prepared。 65．考查非谓语动词。句意：随着技术的不断进步，自动驾驶汽车或许有一天会让我们出行更加便捷和安全，从而改变人们未来的出行方式。句子的谓语是may make，因此这里需要填非谓语动词作状语。逻辑主语 self-driving cars与change之间是主动关系，且表示自然而然的结果，所以用现在分词changing。故填changing。 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66．假如你是李华，某英文学习网站邀请你以“畅想未来”为主题作一次5分钟的线上分享，请根据以下要点回复对方： 1. 表示感谢； 2. 承诺准备。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Sir/ Madam, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Sir/ Madam, I’m truly honored to receive your invitation to give a five-minute online speech on “Imagining the Future”.

Because Mark preferred his ideas for inventions to hard work in a field, he was often laughed at by the villagers. Fortunately, he didn’t have to work in the field, as his grandfather hired him to work at his blacksmith’s workshop. In his spare moments, Mark would devote himself to his inventions. A year ago, his grandfather made a kettle. Once he was waiting for the water to start boiling in the kettle, he saw the steam come out of the kettle and thought, “The steam comes out at pretty high speed. Could a huge kettle produce enough steam to drive a windmill?” It took him four months to create something like a steam engine. Mark continued thinking, “I’ll add wings, and it will be able to fly.” Mark built a wooden construction of an air vehicle and he powered the wings with the steam engine. Wings were waving just as birds do; however, the air vehicle didn’t go up even a little. The trial of starting the air vehicle lasted an hour and completely failed. “Hah! I told you that you wouldn’t make it!” his grandfather said, and many villagers laughed at him. But Mark didn’t mind that; he gathered all the courage and was determined to make a change. He went to the big bookstore in a faraway city and bought books on aircraft construction. He even bought back some parts and used metal sheets from the junkyards. Mark started studying the pictures more exactly. He built a fuselage (机身) with wheels, and he mounted a big airscrew (螺旋桨) on it. He worked hard to gather all the parts needed for the plane according to the drawings. It took Mark another six months to complete his plane. Despite the doubtfulness of his grandfather and other villagers, Mark transported the plane to a cliff atop the mountain with the help of friends. He believed pretty strong winds would significantly help his plane fly and he also believed he could make it this time. Paragraph 1: After getting everything ready, Mark got into his plane with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Fifteen minutes later, the plane landed by the riverside safely. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: After getting everything ready, Mark got into his plane with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. He felt the weight of his dream resting on his shoulders. He started the engine, and the plane was seen slowly sliding down the cliff. Despite the heavy weight of the fuselage, his plane was able to fly. How happy Mark was! The engine worked pretty well, and the plane made several circles above the village. Looking down below, Mark noticed many villagers jumping and waving to him as if they were celebrating. Paragraph 2: Fifteen minutes later, the plane landed by the riverside safely. The villagers all ran there cheering, and Mark saw his grandfather as well, who gave him the thumbs-up sign. The villagers all regarded him as a hero. As Mark watched the sun setting over the horizon, he saw a new world and he felt a desire to reach it. He knew that this was just the beginning of his journey into the realms of invention and discovery. With newfound confidence, he resolved to continue pushing the boundaries of what was possible, fueled by his unshakable belief in the power of innovation. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了马克热衷发明，首次尝试失败后，他继续努力，最终成功让飞机起飞的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“准备好一切后，马克既兴奋又紧张地上了飞机。”可知，第一段可描写马克第一次试飞成功，村民们为他欢呼。 ②由第二段首句内容“十五分钟后，飞机安全降落在河边。”可知，第二段可描写马克成功降落，得到了村民们的认可，他决心继续创新。 2. 续写线索：Mark上飞机——飞机成功起飞——村民欢呼——飞机安全降落——村民认可——Mark决心继续创新 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①滑行：sliding down/gliding down ②起飞：fly/take off ③竖起大拇指：give him the thumbs-up sign/show approval with a thumbs-up 情绪类： ①高兴的：happy/delighted/pleased ②自信：confidence/self-assurance 【点睛】【高分句型1】Looking down below, Mark noticed many villagers jumping and waving to him as if they were celebrating.

The house he lived in for the first few years of his life had no electricity. But Philo read about electricity and began to experiment with it. One night, Philo read a magazine about the idea of sending pictures and sound through the air. It said some of the world’s best scientists were using special machines to make a kind of device to send pictures. 14-year-old Philo thought these famous scientists were wrong. He decided that mechanical devices would never work. Philo believed such a device would have to be electronic. All he would have to do was find a way to make electrons do the work. Soon, Philo had an idea for such a receiver. It would trap light in a container and send the light on a line of electrons. Philo called it “light in a bottle”. Philo told his teacher about a device that could capture pictures. He drew a plan for it and gave it to his teacher. Philo’s drawing seemed simple. But it clearly showed the information needed to build a television. Philo’s teacher was Justin Tolman. Many years later, Philo would credit Mr. Tolman with guiding his imagination and helping him open the doors of science. In 1927, Philo turned on a device that was the first working television receiver. In another room was the first television camera. Philo had invented the special camera tube earlier that year. While the image produced on the receiver was not clear, the device worked. In 1930, the government gave Philo patent documents to protect his invention. Still, he became involved in legal disputes (纠纷) with a powerful company. Philo won but faced many business and financial difficulties in his life. He developed over 100 devices that helped make modern television possible. He also developed early radar, invented the first electronic microscope, and worked on developing peaceful uses of atomic energy (原子能). Philo Farnsworth died in 1971. He is considered one of the most important inventors of the 20th century. 24．Which can best describe 14-year-old Philo? A．Questionable and creative. B．Generous and experienced. C．Selfless and hard-working. D．Peace-loving and determined. 25．What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A．Share your kindness to others. B．Two heads are better than one. C．Teachers are key to shaping young minds. D．Actions speak louder than words. 26．Which contribution does NOT belong to Philo Farnsworth? A．The development of early radar. B．First discovery of atomic energy. C．The invention of electronic microscope. D．Various components of modern television. 27．How does the author develop the text? A．By analyzing causes. B．By making comparisons. C．By following time order. D．By questioning the points. C Scientists have made a breakthrough in helping those suffering from visual disorders by placing tiny electronic chips into the back of their eyes. The chips are only 2mm wide, about as thick as a grain of rice. A trial involved 38 patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (黄斑变性), a condition mostly affecting the elderly and making central vision unclear. Around 600,000 people in the UK have AMD．The trial was conducted at 17 hospitals in five European countries, including the UK. The patients had “dry AMD”, which damages light-detecting cells at the back of the eye. These cells transform light into electrical signals for the brain. When these cells are damaged or destroyed, they cause poor vision, and there is currently no cure for this condition. The tiny “bionic” chips can give people back some sight. Bionic means a man-made object that acts as a body part. The patients get a pair of glasses with a built-in video camera and a small pocket-sized black box that processes the data. When wearing the glasses, the patient looks at an object, for instance, a book. The camera captures the image, sends data to the black box for clarification, and the processed information is then delivered to the chip under the retina (视网膜). The wireless chip sends signals (just like TV remotes do) to the optic nerve (视觉神经), which communicates with the brain. However, patients need time to train their brains to interpret the images. Patients can only see in black and white, but it has significantly improved the lives of those who were treated. Seventy-year-old Sheila Irvine was one of the patients who took part in the trial. She is registered as blind, but now is able to read books and do crosswords. “It is amazing,” she told the BBC． “I am one happy cookie now.” Scientists are also excited. “Blind patients are actually able to have meaningful central vision restoration, which has never been done before,” said Mahi Muqit, an associate professor at University College London. 28．What can be inferred about the “breakthrough” mentioned in the first paragraph? A．It restores partial vision for a specific previously incurable condition. B．It marks the first successful medical application of bionic technology. C．It provides a complete and permanent cure for patients with AMD． D．Its innovation lies in the extremely small size of the electronic chip. 29．What is the main problem caused by “dry AMD”? A．It prevents the eyes from producing tears. B．It makes the patient’s glasses difficult to wear. C．It causes the optic nerve to stop working completely. D．It damages the light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye. 30．How does the bionic chip help patients regain sight? A．By delivering signals to the black box. B．By capturing clear images for the eyes. C．By changing light into electrical signals itself. D．By sending processed signals to the optic nerve. 31．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．A New Cure Discovered for Dry AMD B．A Breakthrough treatment for the Blind C．A Bionic Chip for Partial Vision Restoration D．A Wireless Chip for Instant AMD Sight Recovery D A team of Chinese scientists has developed a groundbreaking device capable of changing the friction (摩擦力) between vehicle tires (轮胎) and roads into clean electricity. The device,called the roadbed tribological energy harvester (RTE harvester), presents a novel approach to taking advantage of the vast and previously untapped source of energy. An estimated 85 percent of a car’s energy is lost to heat and friction, with tire-road interaction alone holding an untapped energy potential of around 0.3 terawatts annually worldwide, equal to the yearly output of 30 dams of the Three Gorges project in China. The researchers from Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems (BINN) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences crafted an energy collector implanted in the roadbed, capable of achieving a peak power output of 16.4 milliwatts from a single tire impact and achieving an impressive energy translation efficiency of 11.7 percent. The device, formed by a freestanding layer triboelectric nanogenerator array, is highly durable, operating stably across temperatures from minus 40℃ to 60℃ and varying humidity(湿度) levels, making it suitable for diverse global climates, according to the study published recently in the journal Science Advances. Its low cost, estimated at just $71.3 per square meter, makes it a highly practicable solution for widespread adoption across extensive road networks globally. Equipped with a self-powered, intelligent and connected transportation system, the innovation can supply energy to devices that monitor vehicle speed and weight, enhancing road safety and management without relying on external power sources. Placing the harvester over a 50-meter section can meet the power needs of traffic lights, cameras and other facilities along a one-kilometer road. “This breakthrough offers a new approach to efficient roadbed tribological energy harvesting and distributed power supply, paving the way for the integration of vehicle-to-road, vehicle-to-infrastructure (车辆与基础设施) and vehicle-to-everything systems,”said the paper’s co-corresponding authors Professor Wang and Professor Chen from the BINN. 32．What is the function of the RTE harvester? A．To improve tires’ durability. B．To monitor road conditions. C．To create a new energy source. D．To measure the heat from tires. 33．Why does the author mention the Three Gorges project? A．To emphasize the impact of vehicle emissions. B．To criticize the inefficiency of traditional dams. C．To compare the energy output of renewable sources. D．To highlight the scale of energy in tire-road friction. 34．What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on about the RTE harvester? A．Its applying prospects. B．Its testing procedures. C．Its working principle. D．Its basic components. 35．What is the professors’ attitude to the RTE harvester? A．Cautious. B．Hopeful. C．Suspicious. D．Dismissive. 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。 The Future of Daily Life: Tech That Will Change Us Technology is rapidly reshaping how we live, work and play in every corner of modern life. In the near future, our daily routines will look very different thanks to several exciting innovations. One of the biggest changes will be in our living spaces. 36 Imagine your house recognizing your voice to adjust the temperature, turn on lights, and even order groceries when supplies run low. These systems will learn your habits over time, making life more convenient and energy-efficient. Health monitoring will also take a big leap forward. New tools will let us monitor our health more closely without visiting doctors. For example, wearable devices may soon track not just your steps and heart rate, but also detect early signs of illnesses like diabetes (糖尿病) or heart disease. 37 Transportation is another area set for transformation. Self-driving cars are no longer a distant dream. Many companies are testing them on public roads. 38 They could also reduce traffic accidents caused by human error. Additionally, electric vehicles will become more affordable and widely available, helping to fight climate change. However, with all these changes come challenges. 39 Protecting personal data will be more important than ever. There is also the risk that some jobs may be replaced by technology, leaving people unemployed. 40 By preparing for these challenges and enjoying the benefits, we can make sure that future technology improves our lives rather than causes harm. The key is to use innovation wisely and fairly for everyone in society. A．Smart homes are already common today. B．Privacy and job security are top concerns. C．They’ll make daily travel safer and easier. D．The future of tech depends on how we adapt E．Smart homes will become even more intelligent.

Two new car models, developed by Chinese companies and 56 (equip) with Level 3(L3) autonomous driving technology, have been approved for road use. This is a key step for China’s smart car industry, 57 pushes the country closer to the era of practical self-driving travel. What is L3 autonomous driving? It is also called “conditional automation”. This means the car can complete most driving tasks in specific situations. On highways or fast city roads, the car can drive by 58 (it). It can handle steering, accelerating, slowing down and even avoiding small obstacles. The driver does not need to watch the road all the time. However, he or she must stay ready to take over. For example, if an animal suddenly 59 (cross) the road, the car will warn the driver. 60 driver then has 10 seconds to take back control. This 61 (aprove) is a significant milestone for the commercial use of autonomous driving technology in China. Now, L3 cars can take full control in specific areas. This means China has 62 (official ) entered the stage of “conditional self-driving” commercial trials. It also shows that China’s smart car technology is now 63 the world’s leading levels. Experts say we should remember that L3 is not “full self-driving”. The driver must always 64 (prepare) to take control! As the technology improves, self-driving cars may one day make our trips more convenient and secure, 65 (change) the way people travel in the future. 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66．假如你是李华，某英文学习网站邀请你以“畅想未来”为主题作一次5分钟的线上分享，请根据以下要点回复对方： 1. 表示感谢； 2. 承诺准备。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Sir/ Madam, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 67．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。 Among villagers lived Mark, an odd, thin, short man. Because Mark preferred his ideas for inventions to hard work in a field, he was often laughed at by the villagers. Fortunately, he didn’t have to work in the field, as his grandfather hired him to work at his blacksmith’s workshop. In his spare moments, Mark would devote himself to his inventions. A year ago, his grandfather made a kettle. Once he was waiting for the water to start boiling in the kettle, he saw the steam come out of the kettle and thought, “The steam comes out at pretty high speed. Could a huge kettle produce enough steam to drive a windmill?” It took him four months to create something like a steam engine. Mark continued thinking, “I’ll add wings, and it will be able to fly.” Mark built a wooden construction of an air vehicle and he powered the wings with the steam engine. Wings were waving just as birds do; however, the air vehicle didn’t go up even a little. The trial of starting the air vehicle lasted an hour and completely failed. “Hah! I told you that you wouldn’t make it!” his grandfather said, and many villagers laughed at him. But Mark didn’t mind that; he gathered all the courage and was determined to make a change. He went to the big bookstore in a faraway city and bought books on aircraft construction. He even bought back some parts and used metal sheets from the junkyards. Mark started studying the pictures more exactly. He built a fuselage (机身) with wheels, and he mounted a big airscrew (螺旋桨) on it. He worked hard to gather all the parts needed for the plane according to the drawings. It took Mark another six months to complete his plane. Despite the doubtfulness of his grandfather and other villagers, Mark transported the plane to a cliff atop the mountain with the help of friends. He believed pretty strong winds would significantly help his plane fly and he also believed he could make it this time. Paragraph 1: After getting everything ready, Mark got into his plane with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Fifteen minutes later, the plane landed by the riverside safely. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页 共4页 ◎ 第2页 共4页 第1页 共4页 ◎ 第2页 共4页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
