Protection is provided for a much longer time for copyrights than for patents. The US Copyright Law of 1976 provides a term or the lifetime of the author plus 50years. It recognizes that the value of written works often extends over a longer time than that of technological advances in the public area. It is essential to register for formal copyright protection in order to have some degree of protection against the copyright of one’s works by others. The procedure for obtaining a copyright registration is quite simple — an application is submitted with a small fee and two copies of the work. No examination is made, and the copyright is immediately in force. The Copyright Office will provide on request a variety of leaflets (小册子) describing the procedure and giving information about the classes of subject matter that can be registered. Those are subject to protection: (1) Books and newspapers (2) Lectures (3) Dramatic compositions (4) Films (5) Maps (6) Works of art (7) Sound recordings (8) Photographs (9) Prints and labels (10) Musical compositions Those are not subject to protection: (1) Ideas (2) Systems, methods and plans (3) Government publications (4) Laws and opinions of courts You can contact the Copyright Office (www.copyrightfice.org ) for more information. 1. In which aspect do copyrights differ from patents? A. The application fee. B. The intellectual value. C. The duration of protection. D. The contribution to society. 2. Which of the following should you provide for copyright registration? A. Photos of yourself. B. Copies of your work. C. Introductory leaflets. D. Examination certificates 3. What may be rejected by the Copyright Office may reject according to the text? A. An official document. B. A musical composition. C A book on American laws. D. A movie about time travel. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文介绍了版权制度的社会目的、版权与专利的核心区别，以及版权注册的流程、受保护和不受保护的内容范围。版权保护期限长于专利，注册流程简便；书籍、电影、音乐等作品可受保护，而想法、政府文件、法律条文等不受保护。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Protection is provided for a much longer time for copyrights than for patents.( 版权的保护期限比专利的保护期限要长得多。)”可知，出版权和专利的核心区别在于保护期限的长短—— 版权的保护时间远长于专利。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The procedure for obtaining a copyright registration is quite simple — an application is submitted with a small fee and two copies of the work.(获取版权注册的程序非常简单——提交一份申请并支付少量费用，同时提交两份作品的副本。)”可知，注册时需要提交申请表、小额费用以及两份作品副本。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据列表中“Those are not subject to protection:( 以下内容不受版权保护)”中的“Government publications(政府出版物)”可知，官方文件属于这一范畴，因此会被版权局拒绝保护。故选A项。 B Nathan Sawaya is indeed known for his impressive artwork created using LEGO bricks. Initially, he faced legal challenges from LEGO regarding the use of its products in his art. However, over time, he gained recognition and became a “LEGO Certified Professional”, which allows him to create and display his work with the company’s support. This title is given to select individuals who demonstrate exceptional skill in working with LEGO and contribute to the company positively. Sawaya’s unique approach to art has helped bridge the gap between commercial products and creative expression. Sawaya’s journey began in a rather unconventional way. Originally a corporate lawyer, he found himself increasingly drawn to the world of art. The turning point came when he decided to leave his secure job and pursue his passion for creating with LEGO. His first major exhibition, “The Art of the Brick”, displayed his innovative sculptures (雕塑) and earned widespread praise. Visitors were amazed to see symbolic artworks such as Van Gogh’s Starry Night and Michelangelo’s David, reimagined entirely with LEGO bricks. What sets Sawaya apart is not just his technical skill, but also his ability to express deep emotions through playful materials. Each piece tells a story, inviting viewers to engage with their inner child while thinking about the themes of creativity and imagination. His work challenges traditional concepts of art, demonstrating that even the most ordinary items can be turned into extraordinary expressions of human experience. In addition to his exhibitions, Sawaya has also conducted workshops and educational programs, inspiring the next generation of artists. He believes that creativity should be accessible to everyone and encourages people to explore their artistic potential using simple materials. Through his devotion and passion, Nathan Sawaya has not only carved out a unique space in the art world but has also encouraged a greater appreciation for the creative possibilities found in LEGO. 4.

How does Sawaya’s work challenge traditional views of art? A. By taking advantage of playful materials. B. By featuring engagement and imagination. C. By transforming ordinary objects into art. D. By bridging inner thought and technology. 7. What can we learn from Sawaya’s example? A. Passion lights the way to success. B. Legal recognition ensures creation. C. Achievement belongs to the talent. D. Wisdom follows shared knowledge. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Nathan Sawaya利用乐高创造出独特的艺术作品，并因此获得认可，取得成功的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Initially, he faced legal challenges from LEGO regarding the use of its products in his art. However, over time, he gained recognition and became a “LEGO Certified Professional”, which allows him to create and display his work with the company’s support.(最初，他面临着来自乐高的法律挑战，因为他在自己的艺术作品中使用了乐高的产品。然而，随着时间的推移，他获得了认可，成为了“乐高认证专家”，这使他能够在公司的支持下创作和展示他的作品)”可推知，乐高专业认证对Sawaya来说意味着他使用乐高玩具是合法的。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“His first major exhibition, “The Art of the Brick”, displayed his innovative sculptures (雕塑) and earned widespread praise. Visitors were amazed to see symbolic artworks such as Van Gogh’s Starry Night and Michelangelo’s David, reimagined entirely with LEGO bricks.(他的首次大型展览“砖块艺术”展示了他独具创意的雕塑作品，并获得了广泛赞誉。参观者惊叹于那些象征性的艺术作品，比如梵高的《星夜》和米开朗基罗的《大卫》，竟然完全是以乐高积木的形式重新呈现出来的)”可推知，Sawaya的第一次大型展览用乐高积木重新设计了梵高的《星空》和米开朗基罗的《大卫》，所以是新颖而令人印象深刻。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“His work challenges traditional concepts of art, demonstrating that even the most ordinary items can be turned into extraordinary expressions of human experience.(他的作品挑战了传统的艺术观念，表明即使是最普通的物品也可以变成人类体验的非凡表达)”可知，Sawaya通过把普通物品变成艺术品，挑战了传统的艺术观念。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In addition to his exhibitions, Sawaya has also conducted workshops and educational programs, inspiring the next generation of artists. He believes that creativity should be accessible to everyone and encourages people to explore their artistic potential using simple materials. Through his devotion and passion, Nathan Sawaya has not only carved out a unique space in the art world but has also encouraged a greater appreciation for the creative possibilities found in LEGO.(除了他的展览，Sawaya还举办研讨会和教育项目，激励下一代艺术家。他认为每个人都应该有创造力，并鼓励人们使用简单的材料探索自己的艺术潜力。通过他的奉献和热情，Nathan Sawaya不仅在艺术界开辟了一个独特的空间，而且还鼓励人们更好地欣赏乐高中发现的创造性可能性)”可推知，Sawaya对乐高充满热情，导致最后获得成功，我们能从Sawaya的例子中学到：热情是通向成功的明灯。故选A。 C Twenty years ago, the idea of sharing personal information publicly was uncommon. Nowadays, it’s pervasive for young people to post updates about their lives and interact on the Internet regularly. Supporters of social media say it brings people closer together, and helps make friends, learn about different cultures, and celebrate events. Yet, concerns arise over this lifestyle’s impact, especially regarding the quantity and nature of shared information. Studies reveal that overuse of social media could be harmful. Researchers observed individuals’ moods before and after platform interactions and found that the more time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they felt. This outcome has several reasons. Social media often features idealized content like beautiful vacations, lively events, and fashionable outfits. Since bad experiences or unappealing images are rarely shared, it creates a false reality. Comparing these highlights to one’s own life can contribute to depression, as people may perceive their lives as substandard. Even those sharing the positive content can get worried and stressed about how many likes and comments they get, and whether they are popular enough. Online bullying (霸凌) makes things worse, with people being mean and hurtful in their comments. Since social media is a big part of our lives now, it won’t go away. Research emphasizes finding a balance between our digital and physical existence. It’s not necessary to cut off from the online world to be happy, but it’s important to be aware of the selective image that the online world presents.Understanding that what we see online is a part of the complete story allows us to safeguard our mental health and enjoy life to the fullest. 8. What does the underlined word “pervasive” mean in paragraph 1? A. Advantageous. B. Subjective. C. Temporarily. D. Normal. 9. What is the impact of inappropriate social media use according to the research? A. Contributing to unhappiness. B. Increasing overall satisfaction. C. Promoting online interaction. D. Improving global connectivity. 10. How does the author develop the third paragraph of the article? A. By providing examples. B. By listing causes. C. By making comparisons. D. By describing process. 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article? A. To discuss the benefits of social media. B. To share secrets to living well nowadays. C. To champion a balanced digital lifestyle. D. To encourage people to quit social media. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文对比了社交媒体今昔的普及程度，先提及它拉近人际距离、促进文化交流的正面作用，再重点分析过度使用会引发不快乐的原因，最后提出核心观点：社交媒体已是生活的一部分，无需远离，关键是平衡数字生活与现实生活。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Twenty years ago, the idea of sharing personal information publicly was uncommon.( 二十年前，公开分享个人信息的想法还相当少见。)”以及划线单词句中“Nowadays, it’s pervasive for young people to post updates about their lives and interact on the Internet regularly.( 而如今，年轻人经常在网上发布生活动态，并频繁进行互动交流，这种现象已pervasive。)”可知，第一段前半句提到“20 年前，公开分享个人信息的想法并不常见”，后半句以Nowadays开头，说明现在年轻人定期发生活动态、网上互动的行为已经很普遍、很常见。由此猜测划线词意为“常见的”。D选项Normal“正常的，常见的”符合语境。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Researchers observed individuals’ moods before and after platform interactions and found that the more time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they felt.( 研究人员观察了人们在使用平台前后的情绪状态，发现人们在社交媒体上花费的时间越多，就越会感到不开心。)”根据这项研究，不当使用社交媒体会导致不快乐。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“This outcome has several reasons. Social media often features idealized content like beautiful vacations, lively events, and fashionable outfits. Since bad experiences or unappealing images are rarely shared, it creates a false reality. Comparing these highlights to one’s own life can contribute to depression, as people may perceive their lives as substandard.( 这种结果有其多方面的原因。社交媒体上通常会呈现理想化的内容，比如美丽的度假、热闹的活动和时尚的着装。由于负面经历或不吸引人的图片很少被分享，这就营造出了一种虚假的现实。将这些亮点与自己的生活进行比较可能会导致抑郁，因为人们可能会觉得自己生活得不够好。)”可推知，作者是通过列举原因来展开第三段内容的。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章先对比社交媒体的今昔普及度，再提及正面作用，接着重点分析过度使用的危害及原因，最后给出核心观点 ——“finding a balance between our digital and physical existence(在数字生活和现实生活之间找到平衡)”，并强调无需脱离网络，只需理性看待线上内容。由此可知作者的写作目的是倡导平衡的数字生活方式。故选C项。 D A wheeled robot rolls across the floor. A soft-bodied robotic star bends its five legs, moving awkwardly. Powered by conventional electricity using wall power or batteries, these simple robotic creations are unremarkable, but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living entity (实体): a king oyster mushroom. By growing the mushroom’s mycelium (菌丝体) into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the mushroom and its sensitivity to light. The robots are the latest achievement of scientists in a field known as biohybrid robotics who seek to combine biological, living materials such as plant and animal cells or insects with artificial components to make partly living and partly engineered entities. There’s still a long way to go before Biohybrid robots go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day robot Jellyfish may explore oceans, Sperm-powered robots may be able to deliver richness treatments and Cyborg Cockroaches could search for survivors in the wake of an earthquake. “Bio hybridization is an attempt to find components in the biological world that we can use, understand, and control to help our artificial systems work better,” said Shepherd, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell University. The team began by growing king oyster mushrooms in the lab from a simple kit ordered online. The researchers chose this species of mushroom because it grows easily and quickly. They culture the mushroom’s mycelium, which forms networks that, according to the study, can sense, communicate and transport nutrients. The team found it challenging to engineer a system that could detect and use the small electrical signals from the mycelia to control the robot. “You have to make sure that your electrode (电极) touches in the right position because the mycelia are very thin,” said lead author Anand Mishra. “Then you culture them, and when the mycelia start growing, they wrap around the electrode.” 12. What is special about the two robots in the first paragraph? A. They are able to move in various ways. B. They can generate energy as batteries do. C. They will take charge of living creatures. D. They are mixed mushroom and machines. 13. What does the author want to show by giving the examples in paragraph 4? A. The bright future of ocean exploration. B. The next frontiers of biohybrid robots. C. The limitations of a biohybrid robots lab. D. The seriousness of environmental issues. 14. What did the team find difficult when engineering the robots? A. Wrapping the electrode with the mycelia. B. Arranging the electrode in the right order. C. Developing a system to produce the mycelia. D. Combining the electrode with the mycelia. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. When Nature Meets Technology B. How Technology Changes Nature C. Discoveries in King Oyster Mushroom D. New Application of Biohybrid Robotics 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了康奈尔大学团队研发的由杏鲍菇菌丝体控制的生物混合机器人，阐述其研发原理、难点及未来应用前景，并说明研发这类机器人旨在结合生物特性优化人工系统。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Powered by conventional electricity via plug or battery, these simple robotic creations would be unremarkable, but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living entity (实体): a king oyster mushroom.(若是依靠插座充电或电池供电的传统电力驱动，这些简易的机器人本不足为奇，但这两款机器人的特别之处在于，它们的操控者是一个活体生物——杏鲍菇。)”可知，这两个机器人的特别之处在于它们由活体——杏鲍菇控制，属于部分生物、部分机器的混合体。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“There’s still a long way to go before Biohybrid robots go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day robot Jellyfish may explore oceans, Sperm-powered robots may be able to deliver richness treatments and Cyborg Cockroaches could search for survivors in the wake of an earthquake.(要让生物混合机器人走出实验室还需很长的路要走，但研究人员仍满怀希望，期待有一天机器人水母能够探索海洋，由精子驱动的机器人能够提供治疗服务，而半机械人蟑螂能够在地震发生后搜寻幸存者。)”可知，作者先提到生物混合机器人离走出实验室实现广泛应用还有距离，随后列举了未来应用的例子（如机器人水母探索海洋、精子动力机器人提供生育治疗等），旨在展示生物混合机器人技术的下一个前沿领域。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The team found it challenging to engineer a system that could detect and use the small electrical signals from the mycelia to command the robot. “You have to make sure that your electrode (电极) touches in the right position because the mycelia are very thin,” said lead author Anand Mishra. “Then you culture them, and when the mycelia start growing, they wrap around the electrode.”(该团队发现，要设计出一个能够检测并利用菌丝体发出的微小电信号来指挥机器人的系统，这是一项极具挑战性的任务。该论文的第一作者安南德·米什拉说：“你必须确保电极放置在正确的位置，因为菌丝体非常薄。然后你进行培养，当菌丝体开始生长时，它们会包裹住电极。”)”可知，研究团队在将电极精准放置在细薄的菌丝体上以检测电信号时遇到了困难，即他们遇到的难题是精准将电极放置在菌丝体上。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“By growing the mushroom’s mycelium into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the mushroom and its sensitivity to light.(通过将蘑菇的菌丝体植入机器人的硬件，康奈尔大学研究人员领导的一个团队设计了两种类型的机器人，它们通过蘑菇发出的电信号和对光的敏感性来感知和响应环境)”并结合全文可知，主要介绍了一种将生物“杏鲍菇”和科技结合起来的机器人，阐述了其工作原理以及存在的挑战，A选项“当自然遇上科技”最符合文章标题。故选A。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项有两项为多余选项。 I retired two years ago, at age 71, from a career that was primarily writing, but also included teaching and consulting (咨询). For the past 20 years, I worked as a technical writer. I enjoyed my work as there was a lot of variety. ____16____There was more repetition, and I was less interested in keeping up with new technologies as I got older. I felt I had saved enough money, and it was a good time to stop working. I was a little nervous when the first Monday of retirement came. I didn’t miss the work itself, but I do miss the interaction with co-workers. However, I was quite surprised by how easy the transition (转变) was. ____17____I’m also busy with housework and managing my finances. I’ ve done well financially since becoming a self-directed investor (投资人) in 2010. After gently firing my advisor, I took charge. I then worked and saved consistently for the next 13 years. I don’t worry about my investments in retirement at all. ____18____ Although I don’t need to cut back on my expenses, I do try to be economical on daily expenses, such as food and personal items like clothes. ____19____ I socialize with family and friends, take courses at the University of Toronto, read about 50 books a year and enjoy watching classic films with my wife. My advice to others is that if you enjoy your work, keep doing it as long as you can—— and as long as you’ re allowed to. If work is a key part of your identity, retirement could be a challenge. ____20____ A Retirement frees up energy of all kinds. B. I play classical piano to engage my mind and body. C. However, I found it less enjoyable once I hit my 70s. D. This is especially true if you have few other interests. E. I haven’t figured out where to find outlets for my energy. F. Some people work part- time to maintain social connections. G. They’ re well- diversified and can weather any market storms. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. G 19. A 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述一位 71 岁退休的技术作家的退休生活：他因70岁后对工作兴趣下降而选择退休，过渡期很顺利，退休后通过弹钢琴、做家务、理财、社交、上课等方式充实生活；他在投资上早有规划，无需担忧经济问题，并建议他人若热爱工作可继续坚持，若工作是身份核心且无其他兴趣，退休需做好准备。 【16题详解】 上文“I enjoyed my work as there was a lot of variety.( 我喜欢这份工作，因为内容很多样。)”提到喜欢这份工作。下文“There was more repetition, and I was less interested in keeping up with new technologies as I got older.( 工作内容更加重复，而且随着年龄的增长，我对掌握新技术的兴趣也降低了。)”提到对掌握新技术的兴趣也降低了。空格处需要一个转折句，衔接“喜欢工作”到“兴趣下降”的变化，C选项“However, I found it less enjoyable once I hit my 70s.( 然而，当我70多岁的时候，我发现它不那么有趣了。)”中的 However 表转折，less enjoyable 对应后文的负面感受，hit my 70s 呼应首句的 retired two years ago, at age 71，逻辑完美契合。故选C项。 【17题详解】 上文“I didn’t miss the work itself, but I do miss the interaction with co-workers. However, I was quite surprised by how easy the transition (转变) was.( 我不怀念工作本身，但我确实怀念与同事们的交流。然而，我对过渡过程的轻松程度感到非常惊讶。)”说退休过渡期很顺利，后下文“I’m also busy with housework and managing my finances.( 我还忙于家务和管理财务。)”空格处需要填入退休后具体的忙碌事项，形成“也”（also）的并列逻辑。B选项“I play classical piano to engage my mind and body.( 我弹奏古典钢琴以锻炼身心。)”中“弹古典钢琴”是退休后的活动，符合“充实忙碌”的语境。故选B项。 【18题详解】 上文“I don’t worry about my investments in retirement at all.( 在退休后，我完全不担心我的投资问题。)”提到不担心投资问题。空格处需要解释不担心的原因，G选项“They’ re well- diversified and can weather any market storms.( 它们分布广泛，能够在任何市场波动中安然无恙。)”G中的They指代前文的investments，well-diversified（多元化配置）、weather any market storms（抵御任何市场风浪）正是投资让人安心的关键，衔接紧密。故选G项。 【19题详解】 下文“I socialize with family and friends, take courses at the University of Toronto, read about 50 books a year and enjoy watching classic films with my wife.( 我与家人和朋友保持交流，还在多伦多大学上课，每年阅读约 50 本书，还喜欢和妻子一起观看经典影片。)”列举了退休后的丰富生活 ——socialize with family and friends, take courses, read books, watch classic films（和亲友社交、上课、读书、看电影）。空格处需要一个总起句，概括退休后时间和精力被释放，才能开展这些活动。A选项“Retirement frees up energy of all kinds.( 退休后，各种精力都会得到释放。)”中的frees up energy（释放各种精力）恰好引出后文的具体活动，起到总领作用。故选A项。 【20题详解】 上文“If work is a key part of your identity, retirement could be a challenge.( 如果工作是你的重要身份的一部分，那么退休可能会是个挑战。)”提到退休可能会是个挑战。空格处需要进一步强调挑战的适用情况，D选项“This is especially true if you have few other interests.( 如果你没有其他兴趣爱好的话，这一点尤其明显。)”中的This指代前一句的 “退休是挑战”，补充了挑战更突出的条件，逻辑连贯。故选D项。 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。 While travelling, I always wore headphones to avoid small talks from strangers.

Some classmates were signing up for events, others were forming a cheerleading team, and a few were brainstorming class slogans (口号). Everyone wanted to contribute to the class effort. When the head teacher, Ms. White, mentioned that “our class poster hasn’t been made yet” and asked who would like to take charge of creating the poster, all eyes turned to Mary. In art class, her drawings had always been praised by the art teacher. Ms. White walked over to Mary and asked if she could do it. Mary shook her head, explaining that she wasn’t confident in her drawing for such a large poster. Ms. White smiled and said, “Think about it, and come to my office after school to let me know your decision.” The last lesson of the day was PE class. On the sports field students who had signed up for competitions were training hard. As Mary looked at the colorful posters already displayed by other classes, she could already picture her own work paling in comparison. She decided to go to Ms. White and tell her that she couldn’t take on the task. On the way to the teacher’s office, she was thinking about how to decline the offer. A familiar figure in front of the sandpit (沙坑) caught her attention. It was Tom. In her impression, Tom was not good at long jump. But he was practicing it! Mary greeted Tom, asking him why. Tom explained no one had signed up for long jump for the school sports meeting, and if so, the class wouldn’t have a chance to score any points. So when the headteacher asked “Is there anybody having a try”, he said yes. Mary asked, “But you’re not good at it.” Tom replied, “I know, but it's about trying and doing my part for the class.” Then he continued practicing. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 After hearing his words, Mary thought on while walking. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the time she got to the teacher’s office, she had already made up her mind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After hearing his words, Mary thought on while walking. Tom’s determination to try despite his lack of skill struck her deeply. She realized that contributing wasn’t about being perfect but about having the courage to participate. If Tom could step up for the class in an event he wasn’t good at, could she not at least try for the poster? Tom’s determination to try his best for the class, even though he wasn’t good at long jump, really struck her. She realized what mattered was the effort and the willingness to contribute. Mary’s steps slowed down as she weighed her options. By the time she got to the teacher’s office, she had already made up her mind. She stood outside the door and just as she was about to knock at the door, Ms. White opened the door and came out. When she saw Mary, her eyes lit up with understanding. “Changed your mind?” she asked gently. Mary nodded firmly and said she would like to try making the poster. After hearing those words, Ms. White smiled. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，学校运动会临近，老师让玛丽尝试制作海报，玛丽因不自信想拒绝制作海报任务，但看到同学汤姆为班级主动承担不擅长的跳远项目后改变主意。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“听了他的话后，玛丽一边走一边陷入了沉思。”可知，第一段可描写玛丽听了汤姆的回答，陷入思考，重新权衡自己的选择。 ②由第二段首句内容“等她到达教师办公室的时候，她已经下定决心了。”可知，第二段可描写玛丽告诉老师自己改变了主意，想要进行尝试。 2. 续写线索：陷入沉思——思考汤姆话语——权衡选择——去办公室——告诉老师改变了主意——老师欣慰 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①参加：participate / get engaged ②擅长于：be good at / be expert at ③打开门：open the door / unlock the door 情绪类 ①决心：determination / resolution ②坚定地：firmly/ unhesitatingly / decidedly 【点睛】[高分句型1] She realized that contributing wasn’t about being perfect but about having the courage to participate.(运用了that引导宾语从句和not…but…句型) [高分句型2] When she saw Mary, her eyes lit up with understanding.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 汕头市潮南区2025-2026学年度第一学期期末普通高中教学质量监测 高二英语 满分120分。考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生在答题卡上务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将自己的姓名、准考证号填写清楚。 2.单项选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案。 3.非选择题必须用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔作答，答题前必须先填好答题纸密封线内各项内容。答案必须写在答题纸上各题目制定区域内相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The social purpose of the copyright system is to encourage creativity and the advancement of knowledge by giving those who make intellectual (智力的) contributions a“unique right to their writings and discoveries” for limited times. Protection is provided for a much longer time for copyrights than for patents. The US Copyright Law of 1976 provides a term or the lifetime of the author plus 50years. It recognizes that the value of written works often extends over a longer time than that of technological advances in the public area. It is essential to register for formal copyright protection in order to have some degree of protection against the copyright of one’s works by others. The procedure for obtaining a copyright registration is quite simple — an application is submitted with a small fee and two copies of the work. No examination is made, and the copyright is immediately in force. The Copyright Office will provide on request a variety of leaflets (小册子) describing the procedure and giving information about the classes of subject matter that can be registered. Those are subject to protection: (1) Books and newspapers (2) Lectures (3) Dramatic compositions (4) Films (5) Maps (6) Works of art (7) Sound recordings (8) Photographs (9) Prints and labels (10) Musical compositions Those are not subject to protection: (1) Ideas (2) Systems, methods and plans (3) Government publications (4) Laws and opinions of courts You can contact the Copyright Office (www.copyrightfice.org ) for more information. 1. In which aspect do copyrights differ from patents? A. The application fee. B. The intellectual value. C. The duration of protection. D. The contribution to society. 2. Which of the following should you provide for copyright registration? A. Photos of yourself. B. Copies of your work. C. Introductory leaflets. D. Examination certificates 3. What may be rejected by the Copyright Office may reject according to the text? A. An official document. B. A musical composition. C. A book on American laws. D. A movie about time travel. B Nathan Sawaya is indeed known for his impressive artwork created using LEGO bricks. Initially, he faced legal challenges from LEGO regarding the use of its products in his art. However, over time, he gained recognition and became a “LEGO Certified Professional”, which allows him to create and display his work with the company’s support. This title is given to select individuals who demonstrate exceptional skill in working with LEGO and contribute to the company positively. Sawaya’s unique approach to art has helped bridge the gap between commercial products and creative expression. Sawaya’s journey began in a rather unconventional way. Originally a corporate lawyer, he found himself increasingly drawn to the world of art. The turning point came when he decided to leave his secure job and pursue his passion for creating with LEGO. His first major exhibition, “The Art of the Brick”, displayed his innovative sculptures (雕塑) and earned widespread praise. Visitors were amazed to see symbolic artworks such as Van Gogh’s Starry Night and Michelangelo’s David, reimagined entirely with LEGO bricks. What sets Sawaya apart is not just his technical skill, but also his ability to express deep emotions through playful materials. Each piece tells a story, inviting viewers to engage with their inner child while thinking about the themes of creativity and imagination. His work challenges traditional concepts of art, demonstrating that even the most ordinary items can be turned into extraordinary expressions of human experience. In addition to his exhibitions, Sawaya has also conducted workshops and educational programs, inspiring the next generation of artists. He believes that creativity should be accessible to everyone and encourages people to explore their artistic potential using simple materials. Through his devotion and passion, Nathan Sawaya has not only carved out a unique space in the art world but has also encouraged a greater appreciation for the creative possibilities found in LEGO. 4. What does LEGO Certified Professional mean to Sawaya? A. It expands his name recognition. B. It legalizes his use of LEGO. C. It boosts his artistic competence. D. It finances his LEGO creation. 5. Which can best describe Sawaya’s first major exhibition? A. Artistic and practical. B. Professional and vivid. C. Novel and impressive. D. Realistic and fashionable. 6. How does Sawaya’s work challenge traditional views of art? A. By taking advantage of playful materials. B. By featuring engagement and imagination. C. By transforming ordinary objects into art. D. By bridging inner thought and technology. 7. What can we learn from Sawaya’s example? A. Passion lights the way to success. B. Legal recognition ensures creation. C. Achievement belongs to the talent. D. Wisdom follows shared knowledge. C Twenty years ago, the idea of sharing personal information publicly was uncommon. Nowadays, it’s pervasive for young people to post updates about their lives and interact on the Internet regularly. Supporters of social media say it brings people closer together, and helps make friends, learn about different cultures, and celebrate events. Yet, concerns arise over this lifestyle’s impact, especially regarding the quantity and nature of shared information. Studies reveal that overuse of social media could be harmful. Researchers observed individuals’ moods before and after platform interactions and found that the more time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they felt. This outcome has several reasons. Social media often features idealized content like beautiful vacations, lively events, and fashionable outfits. Since bad experiences or unappealing images are rarely shared, it creates a false reality. Comparing these highlights to one’s own life can contribute to depression, as people may perceive their lives as substandard. Even those sharing the positive content can get worried and stressed about how many likes and comments they get, and whether they are popular enough. Online bullying (霸凌) makes things worse, with people being mean and hurtful in their comments. Since social media is a big part of our lives now, it won’t go away. Research emphasizes finding a balance between our digital and physical existence. It’s not necessary to cut off from the online world to be happy, but it’s important to be aware of the selective image that the online world presents.Understanding that what we see online is a part of the complete story allows us to safeguard our mental health and enjoy life to the fullest. 8. What does the underlined word “pervasive” mean in paragraph 1? A. Advantageous. B. Subjective. C. Temporarily. D. Normal. 9. What is the impact of inappropriate social media use according to the research? A. Contributing to unhappiness. B. Increasing overall satisfaction. C Promoting online interaction. D. Improving global connectivity. 10. How does the author develop the third paragraph of the article? A By providing examples. B. By listing causes. C. By making comparisons. D. By describing process. 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article? A. To discuss the benefits of social media. B. To share secrets to living well nowadays. C. To champion a balanced digital lifestyle. D. To encourage people to quit social media. D A wheeled robot rolls across the floor. A soft-bodied robotic star bends its five legs, moving awkwardly. Powered by conventional electricity using wall power or batteries, these simple robotic creations are unremarkable, but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living entity (实体): a king oyster mushroom. By growing the mushroom’s mycelium (菌丝体) into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the mushroom and its sensitivity to light. The robots are the latest achievement of scientists in a field known as biohybrid robotics who seek to combine biological, living materials such as plant and animal cells or insects with artificial components to make partly living and partly engineered entities. There’s still a long way to go before Biohybrid robots go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day robot Jellyfish may explore oceans, Sperm-powered robots may be able to deliver richness treatments and Cyborg Cockroaches could search for survivors in the wake of an earthquake. “Bio hybridization is an attempt to find components in the biological world that we can use, understand, and control to help our artificial systems work better,” said Shepherd, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell University. The team began by growing king oyster mushrooms in the lab from a simple kit ordered online. The researchers chose this species of mushroom because it grows easily and quickly. They culture the mushroom’s mycelium, which forms networks that, according to the study, can sense, communicate and transport nutrients. The team found it challenging to engineer a system that could detect and use the small electrical signals from the mycelia to control the robot. “You have to make sure that your electrode (电极) touches in the right position because the mycelia are very thin,” said lead author Anand Mishra. “Then you culture them, and when the mycelia start growing, they wrap around the electrode.” 12. What is special about the two robots in the first paragraph? A. They are able to move in various ways. B. They can generate energy as batteries do. C. They will take charge of living creatures. D. They are mixed mushroom and machines. 13. What does the author want to show by giving the examples in paragraph 4? A. The bright future of ocean exploration. B. The next frontiers of biohybrid robots. C The limitations of a biohybrid robots lab. D. The seriousness of environmental issues. 14. What did the team find difficult when engineering the robots? A. Wrapping the electrode with the mycelia. B. Arranging the electrode in the right order. C. Developing a system to produce the mycelia. D. Combining the electrode with the mycelia. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. When Nature Meets Technology B. How Technology Changes Nature C. Discoveries in King Oyster Mushroom D. New Application of Biohybrid Robotics 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项有两项为多余选项。 I retired two years ago, at age 71, from a career that was primarily writing, but also included teaching and consulting (咨询).

Some classmates were signing up for events, others were forming a cheerleading team, and a few were brainstorming class slogans (口号). Everyone wanted to contribute to the class effort. When the head teacher, Ms. White, mentioned that “our class poster hasn’t been made yet” and asked who would like to take charge of creating the poster, all eyes turned to Mary. In art class, her drawings had always been praised by the art teacher. Ms. White walked over to Mary and asked if she could do it. Mary shook her head, explaining that she wasn’t confident in her drawing for such a large poster. Ms. White smiled and said, “Think about it, and come to my office after school to let me know your decision.” The last lesson of the day was PE class. On the sports field, students who had signed up for competitions were training hard. As Mary looked at the colorful posters already displayed by other classes, she could already picture her own work paling in comparison. She decided to go to Ms. White and tell her that she couldn’t take on the task. On the way to the teacher’s office, she was thinking about how to decline the offer. A familiar figure in front of the sandpit (沙坑) caught her attention. It was Tom. In her impression, Tom was not good at long jump. But he was practicing it! Mary greeted Tom, asking him why. Tom explained no one had signed up for long jump for the school sports meeting, and if so, the class wouldn’t have a chance to score any points. So when the headteacher asked “Is there anybody having a try”, he said yes. Mary asked, “But you’re not good at it.” Tom replied, “I know, but it's about trying and doing my part for the class.” Then he continued practicing. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 After hearing his words, Mary thought on while walking. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the time she got to the teacher’s office, she had already made up her mind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
