For decades, the elderly clockmaker, known for his complicated handmade timepieces, had worked alone. That changed last spring when Leo, a quiet transfer student with no friends in his new school, wandered into the shop by accident, drawn by the steady ticking (嘀嗒作响) from within. Seeing Leo interested in clocks, Thaddeus, a man of few words, simply handed the boy a dusty small gear (齿轮) and a clean cloth. To his surprise, Leo returned the next day, having polished it to a shine. Recognizing his uncommon attentiveness, Thaddeus offered him a simple task: sorting screws. Week by week, Thaddets’ tasks grew more complex. Leo learned to adjust tiny pendulums (钟摆) and carefully position delicate gears. The real turning point came with the specially ordered Clock Project for the town hall — a piece that had defeated Thaddeus for months due to a faulty bell sound mechanism. Leo, after observing for weeks, suggested a different design for the spring tension setup using a method from an old physics book. Doubtful but impressed, Thaddeus let him try. To the old man’s astonishment, it worked. The deep, clear-sounding bell that now marks each hour in Seabrook is partly Leo’s creation. News of their successful work together spread. Many locals bring their hard-to-fix antique shelf clock for repair. Leo, once an outsider, gradually became a familiar face. Thaddeus often speaks proudly of Leo’s “steady hands and a steadier mind”. Leo plans to study engineering after graduation. “A clock isn’t just gears and time,” Thaddeus told him. “It’s a promise that every piece has its place. All we need is to observe and study calmly and steadily.” In a world that often feels rushed, their unlikely partnership reminds the town that some of the best connections are built slowly, one careful tick at a time. 4. Which word best describes both Thaddeus and Leo? A. Reserved. B. Strong-willed. C. Easy-going. D. Flexible. 5. What can be inferred about Thaddeus from paragraph 2? A. He displayed strong devotion to clocks. B. He aimed to impress Leo more quickly. C. He intended to train Leo in clock making. D. He got inspiration from his prior experience. 6. What surprised Thaddeus about Leo’s skills in clock making? A. An old physics book. B. A solution to a bottleneck. C. Leo’s careful modesty. D. Leo’s challenge to authority. 7. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Precision is key. B. Patience matters. C. Every detail counts. D. Teamwork is essential. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。在海边小镇，老钟表匠Thaddeus偶遇对钟表感兴趣的转学生Leo。Thaddeus从简单任务开始训练他，随着时间推移任务逐渐变复杂。在市政厅钟表项目中，Leo提出的新设计解决了难题。原本孤僻的Leo逐渐融入小镇。他们的故事表明，在快节奏的世界里，耐心很重要。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“For decades, the elderly clockmaker, known for his complicated handmade timepieces, had worked alone. That changed last spring when Leo, a quiet transfer student with no friends in his new school, wandered into the shop by accident, drawn by the steady ticking (嘀嗒作响) from within. (几十年来，这位以复杂的手工时计而闻名的老钟表匠一直独自工作。去年春天，当Leo，一个在新学校没有朋友的安静的转学生，被来自内部的稳定滴答声吸引，偶然走进商店时，情况发生了变化)”以及第二段“Seeing Leo interested in clocks, Thaddeus, a man of few words, simply handed the boy a dusty small gear (齿轮) and a clean cloth. (看到Leo对钟表感兴趣，沉默寡言的Thaddeus简单地递给男孩一个满是灰尘的小齿轮和一块干净的布)”可知，两人都性格内敛、寡言少语。故选A。 5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Seeing Leo interested in clocks, Thaddeus, a man of few words, simply handed the boy a dusty small gear (齿轮) and a clean cloth. To his surprise, Leo returned the next day, having polished it to a shine. Recognizing his uncommon attentiveness, Thaddeus offered him a simple task: sorting screws. Week by week, Thaddets’ tasks grew more complex. Leo learned to adjust tiny pendulums (钟摆) and carefully position delicate gears. (看到Leo对钟表感兴趣，沉默寡言的Thaddeus简单地递给男孩一个满是灰尘的小齿轮和一块干净的布。令他惊讶的是，Leo第二天就回来了，把齿轮擦得锃亮。Thaddeus看出他不同寻常的专注，于是给了他一个简单的任务：整理螺丝。一周又一周，Thaddeus布置的任务越来越复杂。Leo学会了调整微小的钟摆，并小心地放置精密的齿轮)”可知，Thaddeus从简单的任务开始，逐渐给Leo更复杂的任务，目的是训练Leo制作钟表。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The real turning point came with the specially ordered Clock Project for the town hall — a piece that had defeated Thaddeus for months due to a faulty bell sound mechanism. Leo, after observing for weeks, suggested a different design for the spring tension setup using a method from an old physics book. Doubtful but impressed, Thaddeus let him try. To the old man’s astonishment, it worked. (真正的转折点出现在市政厅特别订购的时钟项目上——由于钟声机制故障，这件作品已经让Thaddeus困扰了好几个月。Leo观察了几个星期后，建议用一本旧物理书上的方法对弹簧张力装置采用不同的设计。Thaddeus半信半疑，但印象深刻，便让他试试。令老人惊讶的是，这个方法奏效了)”可知，Leo解决了困扰Thaddeus几个月的铃铛声音机制问题，这让Thaddeus感到惊讶。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In a world that often feels rushed, their unlikely partnership reminds the town that some of the best connections are built slowly, one careful tick at a time. (在一个常常感觉匆忙的世界里，他们不太可能的合作关系提醒着这个小镇，一些最好的关系是慢慢建立起来的，每一次谨慎的滴答声都是一次积累)”可知，作者想传达的是耐心很重要。故选B。 C It’s hard to stop after eating a single potato chip — and that’s kind of their whole problem. The deep-fried, popular salty snack is loaded with unhealthy fats, oils, and other unwanted ingredients that are linked with numerous health problems. Unfortunately, those are also the flavor profiles humans are evolutionarily wired to desire. After decades of refining and experimentation, there still isn’t an alternative that provides that perfect (yet still nutritious) flavor profile at a reasonable cost. Even when replacing baking with frying, the cooking heat often still reduces the food’s overall nutritional value. According to Cornell University food scientist Chang Chen, however, combining beets (甜菜) with a technique called Microwave Vacuum Drying (MVD) might be the solution snack lovers have been waiting for. “We wanted to produce a healthy snack from whole vegetables, with all-natural ingredients and high fiber,” he explained in a university profile. “We said, ‘What if we can engineer the process and achieve the same mouthfeel without adding any oil?’” Chen and his team detailed their approach in a study published in the journal Innovative Food Science and Emerging Technologies. MVD removes moisture (水分) from the root vegetable similar to frying or baking, but more quickly and at a lower temperature. Because of this combination of cooking factors, nutrients that normally deteriorate during long drying cycles remain in the food. At the same time, MVD preserves the starch (淀粉) required for a chip’s trademark texture. Potatoes are the go-to for such snacks, yet beets are far more nutritious — they are an excellent fiber source and rich in vitamins and minerals like potassium and iron. Replacing potatoes with beets for chips while keeping the same flavor would not only replace traditional ones but improve them, which the team believes they’ve achieved. They also hold that MVD benefits not just beets but other vegetables such as butternut squash. Chen added they’ll research apple applications too, noting it all boils down to balancing food properties. 8. How does the author illustrate the need to replace traditional potato chips? A. By stressing their high production costs. B. By describing their historical development. C. By presenting their contradictory aspects. D. By comparing them with other salty snacks. 9. What is the advantage of Chang Chen and his team’s alternative? A. It lengthens the food processing time. B. It uses no oil but keeps the mouthfeel. C. It employs a rapid heating system. D. It changes nutritional elements of food. 10. What does the underlined word “deteriorate” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Change form. B. Exist temporarily. C. Increase greatly. D. Lose effect. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce a new food technology. B. To promote the farming of a vegetable. C. To criticize unhealthy eating habits. D. To analyze consumers’ snack preferences. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。康奈尔大学团队利用甜菜与微波真空干燥技术，研发出新型零食，这种零食既保留了口感，又保存了营养。相比传统薯片，它更健康。该技术还可应用于其他蔬菜，为消费者提供更优质的选择。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s hard to stop after eating a single potato chip — and that’s kind of their whole problem. The deep-fried, popular salty snack is loaded with unhealthy fats, oils, and other unwanted ingredients that are linked with numerous health problems. Unfortunately, those are also the flavor profiles humans are evolutionarily wired to desire.(吃了一片薯片就很难停下来——这就是它们的全部问题所在。这种油炸的流行咸味零食含有大量不健康的脂肪、油和其他有害成分，这些成分与多种健康问题有关。不幸的是，这些味道也是人类进化过程中渴望的口味。)”可知，作者指出薯片深受喜爱、让人欲罢不能，但其含有不健康的脂肪等成分，会导致健康问题。这种既美味又对身体有害的特性体现了薯片具有矛盾的两面性。由此可推知，作者通过呈现其矛盾方面来说明取代传统薯片的必要性。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中Chen所说的“What if we can engineer the process and achieve the same mouthfeel without adding any oil?(如果我们能设计出一种工艺，在不添加任何油的情况下，也能达到同样的口感，那会怎么样呢？)”以及第四段中的“MVD removes moisture (水分) from the root vegetable similar to frying or baking, but more quickly and at a lower temperature.(微波真空干燥技术从根类蔬菜中去除水分的方式类似于油炸或烘烤，但速度更快，温度更低。)”和“At the same time, MVD preserves the starch (淀粉) required for a chip’s trademark texture.(同时，微波真空干燥技术还能保留薯片标志性口感所需的淀粉。)”可知，MVD技术去除水分的方式类似于油炸或烘烤，且保留淀粉以保持薯片特有口感，所以该替代方案的优势在于不使用油但保持了口感。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句“Because of this combination of cooking factors, nutrients that normally deteriorate during long drying cycles remain in the food.(由于这种烹饪因素的组合，在长时间干燥过程中通常会deteriorate的营养物质得以保留在食物中。)”以及前一句“MVD removes moisture (水分) from the root vegetable similar to frying or baking, but more quickly and at a lower temperature.(微波真空干燥技术从根类蔬菜中去除水分的方式类似于油炸或烘烤，但速度更快，温度更低。)”可知，因为MVD技术加工更快、温度更低，营养物质得以保留在食物中，由此可推测出，那些营养物质通常在长时间干燥过程中会“变差”或“失效”，deteriorate意为“变差，失去效用”，与D项意思接近。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章首先介绍了传统薯片面临的健康问题，接着引出了康奈尔大学科学家Chang Chen及其团队提出的新解决方案——将甜菜与微波真空干燥（MVD）技术相结合，并详细介绍了该技术的原理、优势及应用前景。由此可推知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是介绍这一新的食品技术。故选A。 D Brands have spent years perfecting video marketing strategies. Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people, according to research from video creation platform Animoto. That preference holds as AI video tools flood the market and brands race to create more content faster. The finding comes from Animoto’s State of Video 2026 report, based on a survey of 460 American consumers and marketers. As AI generates full videos from text prompts (提示), the truth remains: People still want to see other people. The preference for human faces isn’t just about aesthetics (美学). More than 82% of consumers report watching videos that they believe were AI-generated, and among that group, 36% say it lowers their trust in the brand behind it. This creates a problem with the numbers for marketers. Even if AI tools can help produce videos faster, the resulting content may raise doubt that destroys the entire purpose of making the video in the first place. Separate research cited in the report found that 88% of consumers consider brand trust as important as price and quality when making purchases. Three-quarters of US adults think it’s extremely or very important to know whether images, videos, or text were created by AI or people. This trust loss appears regardless of whether audiences correctly identify AI content. The survey showed that consumers believe they can spot AI-generated videos based on “an entire set of signals” and contextual mismatches, according to respondent Olga Mirkovic. Whether they’re right doesn’t matter. Perception alone affects how they view the brand. Surveyed marketing professionals aren’t trying to remove humans from their videos. Despite pressure to produce more content faster, marketers still want control over which footage to use, how to present their brand voice, and when to put themselves on camera. Roya Safarian, a survey respondent, explained the balance: “AI can enhance storytelling as long as the brand still keeps a human touch. The key is balance: Technology should support the message, not replace the genuine voice behind it.” 12. What is the most effective trust-building video marketing strategy? A. Making videos featuring real people. B. Using AI to generate videos quickly. C. Updating video production fashion. D. Producing true video content faster. 13. In what circumstances does the trust loss occur? A. When video aesthetics are poor. B. When video production speeds up. C. When AI content is perceived. D. When brand trust is compared to price. 14. What do marketing professionals suggest AI be used for in video-making? A. Generating videos automatically. B. Aiding in content creation as a tool. C. Controlling brand voice directly. D. Replacing human presenters entirely. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Contrasting AI and Human-made Videos B. Building Consumer Trust with AI Videos C. Facing Trust Crisis in AI-generated Videos D. Balancing Technology and Humanity in Videos 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文探讨了视频营销策略。研究发现，消费者更信任包含真人的视频，AI生成的内容可能会降低品牌信任度。因此，营销专家主张平衡技术与人性，让AI辅助而非取代真人，从而保持品牌真实感并建立信任。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people (近78%的消费者相信真人拍摄的视频)”以及“As AI generates full videos from text prompts (提示), the truth remains: People still want to see other people. (虽然人工智能可以根据文本提示生成完整的视频，但事实仍然是：人们仍然希望看到其他人。)”可知，消费者依然信任并希望看到视频中有真人出现。由此可知，建立信任最有效的视频营销策略是制作以真实人物为特色的视频。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This trust loss appears regardless of whether audiences correctly identify AI content. (无论观众是否正确识别人工智能内容，这种信任损失都会出现。)”以及“Perception alone affects how they view the brand. (感知本身就会影响他们对品牌的看法。)”可知，无论观众是否正确识别出AI内容，只要感知到内容是AI生成的，信任缺失就会发生。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Roya Safarian, a survey respondent, explained the balance: “AI can enhance storytelling as long as the brand still keeps a human touch. The key is balance: Technology should support the message, not replace the genuine voice behind it.” (调查受访者罗亚·萨法里安（Roya Safarian）解释了这种平衡：“只要品牌仍然保持人情味，人工智能就可以增强故事情节。关键在于平衡：技术应该支持信息，而不是取代信息背后真实的声音。”)”可知，营销专业人士认为AI应该作为辅助工具来增强叙事效果或支持信息传达，而不是替代人类或直接控制品牌声音。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开头“Brands have spent years perfecting video marketing strategies. Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people, according to research from video creation platform Animoto. That preference holds as AI video tools flood the market and brands race to create more content faster.(品牌花了数年时间完善视频营销策略。根据视频创作平台Animoto的研究，近78%的消费者信任真人制作的视频。随着人工智能视频工具充斥市场，各品牌竞相以更快的速度创造更多内容，这种偏好依然存在。)”指出尽管AI视频工具普及，但人们仍偏爱真人视频以建立信任；第二、三段论述了AI内容可能会导致信任缺失；最后一段指出营销专业人士希望在利用AI技术提高效率的同时，保留人文关怀，强调技术应支持而非替代人类。因此，文章主要讨论了在视频制作中如何在技术（AI）和人性（真人）之间取得平衡。D项“Balancing Technology and Humanity in Videos (在视频创作中平衡科技与人性)”能够概括文章主旨，最适合作为文章标题。故选D。 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。 At first sight, a career in science may seem like a challenging and demanding path. ____16____ If you are serious about pursuing a career in science, there are a few things you should be familiar with to pave a smooth way for your future journey. ____17____ From biology and chemistry to physics and computer science, there are many options to choose from, each with its own focus and development prospects.

They decided to take a memorable road trip to Spain in August, 2025, with their beloved cat Filou accompanying them. The journey was filled with laughter and pleasant moments until they made a routine stop at a remote gas station in a small Spanish village. As they refueled and bought snacks, Filou, frightened by the loud noise of a passing truck, quietly slipped out of the car’s open window and ran into the nearby woods, unnoticed. It was not until the next morning, when Patrick and Evelyne prepared to leave and called Filou, that the couple realized it’d escaped. Struck by panic and sorrow, they abandoned the trip at once, spending five days searching the gas station, surrounding forests and nearby villages. They posted hundreds of missing posters of Filou, asked locals for help and contacted animal shelters, but their efforts disappointed them. Heartbroken and tired, they had to return to France, pained by loss and blaming themselves for their carelessness. But they still held a hope in their hearts. To prevent Filou from getting lost, they’d put in a tiny microchip (微芯片) in it, which contained their contact information. They hoped that one day a kind stranger would discover the chip and reach out to them. Little did they know that Filou, though scared and confused, had already begun its hard journey back home. It wandered through thick forests, suffered from hunger and cold, and narrowly escaped danger several times. But these hardships never stopped Filou finding its way home. Fortunately, a kind-hearted elderly woman called Sue who lives less than a mile from the Sires’ home found it shaking in her backyard in late December, weak and thin. She took pity on the poor cat, and fed it warm food and water, never knowing where it came from. Days later, Sue noticed the cat coughing heavily. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then, Sue took the cat to the pet clinic for a check-up. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Patrick and Evelyne rushed to the clinic as fast as they could. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Then, Sue took the cat to the pet clinic for a check-up. The doctor examined the cat carefully and found it suffered from a mild lung infection due to cold and hunger. When he was about to give the cat treatment, he noticed a small mark under its fur and checked it with a chip reader. Soon, the doctor’s eyes lit up and he said he had found the cat’s owners. He immediately dialed Patrick’s number, telling him the good news. Sue smiled happily, knowing the cat would soon return to its family. Patrick and Evelyne rushed to the clinic as fast as they could. The moment they saw Filou, who was lying quietly on the treatment table, their eyes were filled with tears. Patrick walked gently to Filou, calling its name softly, and the weak cat raised its head and rubbed against his hand weakly. Evelyne was too excited to say a word, so Patrick told the doctor and Sue that they had been looking for Filou day and night and were extremely grateful for their help. After getting the doctor’s permission, they held Filou tightly in their arms, feeling the long-lost warmth and joy of reunion. 【解析】 【导语】本文以猫咪Filou的回家之旅为线索展开，讲述了法国夫妇Patrick和Evelyne在西班牙自驾游时，爱猫Filou因受惊走失，夫妇二人苦苦寻找无果后伤心返法；Filou凭借顽强意志独自穿越山林，数月后被好心的Sue发现并救助，最终通过微芯片与主人重逢的感人故事。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后，Sue带着这只猫去宠物诊所做检查。”可知，第一段可描写兽医在检查时发现了Filou身上的微芯片，通过芯片信息联系到了远在法国的Patrick夫妇，让Sue和Filou都看到了回家的希望。 ②由第二段首句内容“Patrick和Evelyne以最快的速度赶往诊所。”可知，第二段可描写夫妇二人赶到诊所与Filou重逢的感人场景，以及他们对Sue和兽医的感激之情，点明爱与坚持终有回报的主题。 2. 续写线索：猫咪咳嗽—— 带去诊所—— 发现微芯片—— 联系主人—— 夫妇赶往诊所—— 重逢相拥—— 表达感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①检查：examine/inspect ②注意到：notice/spot ③寻找：look for/search for 情绪类 ①激动的：excited/thrilled ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】He immediately dialed Patrick’s number, telling him the good news.(运用了现在分词短语telling him the good news作伴随状语) 【高分句型2】The moment they saw Filou, who was lying quietly on the treatment table, their eyes were filled with tears.(运用了The moment引导的时间状语从句和who引导的非限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届高三年级3月份学情诊断 英语 本试题卷共8页。全卷满分120分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.选择题的作答：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，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接写在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4.考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 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 course is designed to guide you to stay calm and make wise decisions in unexpected outdoor situations.

B In the morning, when mist still hangs over the old stone streets of the coastal town of Seabrook, Thaddeus Flint is already at work in his workshop. For decades, the elderly clockmaker, known for his complicated handmade timepieces, had worked alone. That changed last spring when Leo, a quiet transfer student with no friends in his new school, wandered into the shop by accident, drawn by the steady ticking (嘀嗒作响) from within. Seeing Leo interested in clocks, Thaddeus, a man of few words, simply handed the boy a dusty small gear (齿轮) and a clean cloth. To his surprise, Leo returned the next day, having polished it to a shine. Recognizing his uncommon attentiveness, Thaddeus offered him a simple task: sorting screws. Week by week, Thaddets’ tasks grew more complex. Leo learned to adjust tiny pendulums (钟摆) and carefully position delicate gears. The real turning point came with the specially ordered Clock Project for the town hall — a piece that had defeated Thaddeus for months due to a faulty bell sound mechanism. Leo, after observing for weeks, suggested a different design for the spring tension setup using a method from an old physics book. Doubtful but impressed, Thaddeus let him try. To the old man’s astonishment, it worked. The deep, clear-sounding bell that now marks each hour in Seabrook is partly Leo’s creation. News of their successful work together spread. Many locals bring their hard-to-fix antique shelf clock for repair. Leo, once an outsider, gradually became a familiar face. Thaddeus often speaks proudly of Leo’s “steady hands and a steadier mind”. Leo plans to study engineering after graduation. “A clock isn’t just gears and time,” Thaddeus told him. “It’s a promise that every piece has its place. All we need is to observe and study calmly and steadily.” In a world that often feels rushed, their unlikely partnership reminds the town that some of the best connections are built slowly, one careful tick at a time. 4. Which word best describes both Thaddeus and Leo? A. Reserved. B. Strong-willed. C. Easy-going. D. Flexible. 5. What can be inferred about Thaddeus from paragraph 2? A. He displayed strong devotion to clocks. B. He aimed to impress Leo more quickly. C. He intended to train Leo in clock making. D. He got inspiration from his prior experience. 6. What surprised Thaddeus about Leo’s skills in clock making? A. An old physics book. B. A solution to a bottleneck. C. Leo’s careful modesty. D. Leo’s challenge to authority. 7. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Precision is key. B. Patience matters. C. Every detail counts. D. Teamwork is essential. C It’s hard to stop after eating a single potato chip — and that’s kind of their whole problem. The deep-fried, popular salty snack is loaded with unhealthy fats, oils, and other unwanted ingredients that are linked with numerous health problems. Unfortunately, those are also the flavor profiles humans are evolutionarily wired to desire. After decades of refining and experimentation, there still isn’t an alternative that provides that perfect (yet still nutritious) flavor profile at a reasonable cost. Even when replacing baking with frying, the cooking heat often still reduces the food’s overall nutritional value. According to Cornell University food scientist Chang Chen, however, combining beets (甜菜) with a technique called Microwave Vacuum Drying (MVD) might be the solution snack lovers have been waiting for. “We wanted to produce a healthy snack from whole vegetables, with all-natural ingredients and high fiber,” he explained in a university profile. “We said, ‘What if we can engineer the process and achieve the same mouthfeel without adding any oil?’” Chen and his team detailed their approach in a study published in the journal Innovative Food Science and Emerging Technologies. MVD removes moisture (水分) from the root vegetable similar to frying or baking, but more quickly and at a lower temperature. Because of this combination of cooking factors, nutrients that normally deteriorate during long drying cycles remain in the food. At the same time, MVD preserves the starch (淀粉) required for a chip’s trademark texture. Potatoes are the go-to for such snacks, yet beets are far more nutritious — they are an excellent fiber source and rich in vitamins and minerals like potassium and iron. Replacing potatoes with beets for chips while keeping the same flavor would not only replace traditional ones but improve them, which the team believes they’ve achieved. They also hold that MVD benefits not just beets but other vegetables such as butternut squash. Chen added they’ll research apple applications too, noting it all boils down to balancing food properties. 8. How does the author illustrate the need to replace traditional potato chips? A. By stressing their high production costs. B By describing their historical development. C By presenting their contradictory aspects. D. By comparing them with other salty snacks. 9. What is the advantage of Chang Chen and his team’s alternative? A. It lengthens the food processing time. B. It uses no oil but keeps the mouthfeel. C. It employs a rapid heating system. D. It changes nutritional elements of food. 10. What does the underlined word “deteriorate” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Change form. B. Exist temporarily. C. Increase greatly. D. Lose effect. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce a new food technology. B. To promote the farming of a vegetable. C. To criticize unhealthy eating habits. D. To analyze consumers’ snack preferences. D Brands have spent years perfecting video marketing strategies. Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people, according to research from video creation platform Animoto. That preference holds as AI video tools flood the market and brands race to create more content faster. The finding comes from Animoto’s State of Video 2026 report, based on a survey of 460 American consumers and marketers. As AI generates full videos from text prompts (提示), the truth remains: People still want to see other people. The preference for human faces isn’t just about aesthetics (美学). More than 82% of consumers report watching videos that they believe were AI-generated, and among that group, 36% say it lowers their trust in the brand behind it. This creates a problem with the numbers for marketers. Even if AI tools can help produce videos faster, the resulting content may raise doubt that destroys the entire purpose of making the video in the first place. Separate research cited in the report found that 88% of consumers consider brand trust as important as price and quality when making purchases. Three-quarters of US adults think it’s extremely or very important to know whether images, videos, or text were created by AI or people. This trust loss appears regardless of whether audiences correctly identify AI content. The survey showed that consumers believe they can spot AI-generated videos based on “an entire set of signals” and contextual mismatches, according to respondent Olga Mirkovic. Whether they’re right doesn’t matter. Perception alone affects how they view the brand. Surveyed marketing professionals aren’t trying to remove humans from their videos. Despite pressure to produce more content faster, marketers still want control over which footage to use, how to present their brand voice, and when to put themselves on camera. Roya Safarian, a survey respondent, explained the balance: “AI can enhance storytelling as long as the brand still keeps a human touch. The key is balance: Technology should support the message, not replace the genuine voice behind it.” 12. What is the most effective trust-building video marketing strategy? A. Making videos featuring real people. B. Using AI to generate videos quickly. C. Updating video production fashion. D. Producing true video content faster. 13. In what circumstances does the trust loss occur? A. When video aesthetics are poor. B. When video production speeds up. C. When AI content is perceived. D. When brand trust is compared to price. 14. What do marketing professionals suggest AI be used for in video-making? A. Generating videos automatically. B. Aiding in content creation as a tool. C. Controlling brand voice directly. D. Replacing human presenters entirely. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Contrasting AI and Human-made Videos B. Building Consumer Trust with AI Videos C. Facing Trust Crisis in AI-generated Videos D. Balancing Technology and Humanity in Videos 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。 At first sight, a career in science may seem like a challenging and demanding path. ____16____ If you are serious about pursuing a career in science, there are a few things you should be familiar with to pave a smooth way for your future journey. ____17____ From biology and chemistry to physics and computer science, there are many options to choose from, each with its own focus and development prospects.

They decided to take a memorable road trip to Spain in August, 2025, with their beloved cat Filou accompanying them. The journey was filled with laughter and pleasant moments until they made a routine stop at a remote gas station in a small Spanish village. As they refueled and bought snacks, Filou, frightened by the loud noise of a passing truck, quietly slipped out of the car’s open window and ran into the nearby woods, unnoticed. It was not until the next morning, when Patrick and Evelyne prepared to leave and called Filou, that the couple realized it’d escaped. Struck by panic and sorrow, they abandoned the trip at once, spending five days searching the gas station, surrounding forests and nearby villages. They posted hundreds of missing posters of Filou, asked locals for help and contacted animal shelters, but their efforts disappointed them. Heartbroken and tired, they had to return to France, pained by loss and blaming themselves for their carelessness. But they still held a hope in their hearts. To prevent Filou from getting lost they’d put in a tiny microchip (微芯片) in it, which contained their contact information. They hoped that one day a kind stranger would discover the chip and reach out to them. Little did they know that Filou, though scared and confused, had already begun its hard journey back home. It wandered through thick forests, suffered from hunger and cold, and narrowly escaped danger several times. But these hardships never stopped Filou finding its way home. Fortunately, a kind-hearted elderly woman called Sue who lives less than a mile from the Sires’ home found it shaking in her backyard in late December, weak and thin. She took pity on the poor cat, and fed it warm food and water, never knowing where it came from. Days later, Sue noticed the cat coughing heavily. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then, Sue took the cat to the pet clinic for a check-up. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Patrick and Evelyne rushed to the clinic as fast as they could. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
