16-year-old Jared Lepora from the UK has created a robotic arm that imitates the natural
movements of a human hand using only ready-made Lego Mindstorms parts.He showcased
this invention at the 2025 International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems in
Hangzhou,China.
The teenager co-authored research recently published along with colleagues including his
father Nathan Lepora,a professor of roboties and artificial intelligence at the University of
Bristol.Jared used Lego Mindstorms,a Lego robotics kit,to build a Lego version of
SoftHand-A,a aD-printed robot hand introduced in an earlier study.
"My dad has always been working on robotics.He designs robotic systems with
complicated mechanisms that have lots of real-world applications,"Jared said."My goal was
to create an educational design which shows professional mechanisms in a simple educational
way understandable by children."
高三英语第4页(共12页)
The design is a playful interpretation of a serious line of robotics research.It is based on
the Pisa/IIT SoftHand model,a world-leading development in soft robotics that uses a
single tendon (system to coordinate finger movements.Jared adapted this concept for
educational purposes,replacing the 3D-printed parts and metal bearings with standard
components and over 100 plastic Lego bearings.Despite its toy origins,the Lego SoftHand
performs remarkably well.Lab tests have shown that it can grip objects with about 90%of
the force of a professional 3D-printed SoftHand,and perform open-close cycles in about one
second.
Since the hand can be constructed from Lego pieces and uses state-of-the-art design
concepts for robotic hands,it has the potential to educate and inspire children to learn about
the frontiers of modern robotics."My generation and younger are the future of roboties,so it
is essential that we understand and take interest in this field,"Jared says."Building a robot
hand with your own hands is a great way to learn about robotics."
24.What can be learned about Jared from the first two paragraphs?
A.He has an inquiring mind.
B.He is keen on cutting-edge tech.
C.He is fond of Lego bricks.
D.He excels at hands-on projects.
25.What is Jared's design like?
A.Rare but mind-opening.
B.User-friendly and informative.
C.Complicated but well-operated.
D.Cost-effective and professional.
26.What is the basis for Jared's design?
A.A novel concept of movements.
B.Earlier research of Lego robotics.
C.An advanced model in soft robotics.
D.The availability of Lego components.
27.What message does the text mainly convey?
A.Like father,like son.
B.Home is the first school.
C.It's never too late to learn.
D.Think outside the Lego box.

Horror fans have been painted with the same broad and bloody brush for decades:
labelled as cold,unfeeling thrill-seekers who delight in others'suffering.Film critics have
described the fans and creators of films like Friday the 13"and Saw as "very sick people".
But I argue that these assumptions are all wrong.
The misconceptions about horror fans were seemingly supported by evidence presented
in an analysis from 2007.But the analysis is only as strong as the studies it summarizes.In
this case,they had poorly defined variables.For example,the two studies with the strongest
高三英语第5页(共12页)
association with low empathy examined participant enjoyment of torture and short clips that
concluded with cruel murders and no satisfactory resolution.These measures probably won't
tell you much about horror fans.The authors of the analysis admitted deep in the discussion
section that the link between empathy and enjoyment of horror disappeared when those
studies were removed.
In 2024,I published a set of studies that directly addressed the question of horror
fandom and empathy.The results were striking.Using standardised assessments,horror
fans scored higher on empathy and compassion.
When my colleagues and I examined the motivations of horror fans at frightening
attractions,we found that "adrenaline junkies"represent only one subset.We also found a
group we called"dark copers",who use horror to process difficult emotions.Another group,
"white knucklers,"confront fear to learn about themselves.The three-type model reveals
that many fans aren't just motivated by adrenaline ()But there is one common trait
among them.
My research has identified morbid curiosity (as the most powerful predictor of
horror fandom.It is this tendency to seek out information about threatening or death-related
phenomena that drives a fascination with horror media.Studies show that people with higher
levels of this curiosity demonstrate better preparedness for real crises and show increased
resilience during stressful life events.
The evidence paints a picture of horror fans being empathetic,curious and
psychologically complicated.Horror is a proof to human adaptability and our remarkable
capacity to find meaning,connection and even growth in the face of our deepest fears.
28.What is a conventional wisdom about horror fans?
A.They lack empathy.
B.They tend to fall sick.
C.They desire comfort.
D.They seek uniqueness.
29.What is the limitation of previous studies?
A.They ignore the essence of humanity.
B.The variables'definition is indefinite.
C.They rely much on participants'feelings.
D.The incomplete discussion is misleading.
30.Why is the three-type model mentioned in paragraph 4?
A.To introduce types of horror fans.
B.To show motivations of horror fans.
C.To group fans based on their emotions.
D.To compare different levels of curiosity.

31.What is the author's attitude towards horrors?
A.He doubted them.
B.He dismissed them.
C.He approved of them.
D.He brushed them aside.

Facial expressions are central to social life,yet scientists still don't fully understand how
the brain produces them.For decades,one influential theory has held that what appears on
your face is largely an emotional reflex-an honest,automatic readout of what you feel
inside.But that view struggles to explain the fact that we often tailor our expressions to the
moment.
To find out what's going on in the brain during facial expressions,researchers turned to
monkeys.They recorded neural (activity while the animals interacted with one
another in the lab.The team's results published in Science came as a surprise:the monkeys'
expressions,from a threatening face to a friendly "lip-smacking",were generated by both
the medial cortex(内侧皮层)and lateral cortex(外侧皮层).These two brain regions were long
thought to operate independently,but the study showed that both of them participated in the
production of all kinds of facial expressions.
The two regions did,however,run at different speeds.Activity in the lateral cortex
reoriented quickly,to coordinate the rapid facial movements that make for smooth social
interaction.By contrast,things happen at a more leisurely pace in the medial cortex,perhaps
allowing it to track slow-changing contextual factors that influence facial expressions.What's
more,both neural patterns show up before facial movements do,suggesting the brain
prepares expressions in advance.
This all raises a question:Do monkeys intentionally plan the faces they make?That's
the interpretation evolutionary psychologists explore in the new study.If facial expressions
are partly voluntary,they may be less like emotional mirrors and more like "tools for social
influence",as the researchers put it.At the very least,they seem to arise from complex
interactions between emotion and cognition.
Alan Fridlund,a social and evolutionary psychologist who was not involved in this
study,has no trouble believing monkeys hold their faces strategically.But he doubts that
staged,lab-bound interactions can capture the full reality of monkeys'communications,or
the neural activity underlying it;ideally,future research would take place in the monkeys'
natural environment.Still,Fridlund says,the new study "tells us in infinitely more detail
how we can investigate the neurology of facial displays."
高三英语第7页(共12页)

Emotions shape our lives in different ways.To grow and be better than before,
developing emotional intelligence can make you stand out from the crowd.36
It is common that we deflect (our feelings and make others feel guilty,which can
result in heated arguments and even guilt trips.But it's essential to understand a
fundamental principle:Just as others are not accountable for your emotions,you are not
responsible for how others feel.37 For example,replace "You hurt me"with "I feel
hurt."This expresses your feelings without blame,fostering (healthier communication
and emotional ownership.
When emotions run high,self-control becomes vital.38 In heated moments,focus
first on calming yourself rather than reacting without thinking.By carefully choosing your
words and actions,you can prevent unnecessary damage to your relationships and
demonstrate real maturity.
高三英语第8页(共12页)
39 Question your initial thoughts before reacting and reflect on whether your own
behavior has contributed to the issue.This practice helps you move beyond automatic
reactions and respond more thoughtfully,reducing conflicts.If you make a mistake,take full
responsibility for your actions and offer a sincere apology which will build trust and shows
strength instead of weakness.Taking ownership in this way is a cornerstone of emotional
growth and integrity.
Finally,you are known by the company you keep;this is always true.If you are
surrounded by happy and motivated people,you will always be happy.If you are surrounded
by negative people that only bring others down then you will always feel miserable.In order
to be emotionally intelligent,you must have a good and supporting company by your side.
40 Whenever you feel something like that,cut ties with them immediately.
A.Always communicate your needs clearly.
B.Try to change others'perspectives patiently.
C.So own your feelings without projecting them.
D.Let's explore how to become emotionally mature.
E.Avoid quick decisions when emotionally charged.
F.Self-reflection is equally important on this journey.
G.Keep away from those who emotionally control others.

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。
I was a 22-year-old medical student from Sri Lanka,studying in a quiet university town
in Russia.For as long as I could remember,becoming a doctor had been my greatest
aspiration-one that had driven me to leave my family and home behind,to brave the harsh
Russian winters and endless hours of tiring study.I had always believed that with hard
work,I could heal the sick and make my parents proud.
But my financial situation took a sudden turn for the worse when my family back in Sri
Lanka could no longer send me money.With no savings left and bills piling up,I had no
choice but to pack my bags and return home,abandoning the dream I'd fought so hard for.
On the morning of my departure,I dragged my heavy suitcase to the bus stop,my steps
slow and heavy.The bus to Moscow was crowded and endless traffic jammed the roads for
hours.By the time I finally reached the city center,I could barely breathe from worry-I was
already running late for my flight.I grabbed my suitcase and rushed toward the underground
station,my breath coming in short gasps (as I weaved through the bustling crowds.
When I finally made it to the airport,my heart sank.The flight gate was shut tight.I
approached the counter,my voice trembling as I begged the staff for help."You can take the
standby flight 3 hours later,Miss,"the staff lady said,"but you have to pay an extra one
hundred dollars for the rebooking fee."
I had used up all my savings on the journey to Moscow and had no financial support
from home;I didn't have that money.For me,it was an impossible amount.I wanted to be
strong,to hold baek my tears,but I couldn't.I broke down and cried uncontrollably right
there in front of the counter,my shoulders shaking as I thought of my wasted efforts and the
uncertain future waiting for me.People began to gather around me.Suddenly,I felt a gentle
touch on my shoulder.
