Here are some select ones that will absolutely blow your kids’ mind. Sphero Indi ($124.99) Coding is a matter of problem-solving and pattern recognition. Sphero Indi teaches both, no screen required. Instead, kids use different-colored cards to move a robotic car from point A to B — green cards increasing its speed, pink cards telling it to turn left, and so on. “We really wanted to bring these abstract concepts into the physical world.” says Jef Wiencrot, one of the product developers. Sproutel Purrble ($49.99) For children who are upset for some reason, Purrble comes to their rescue. An interactive toy equipped with seven sensors that respond to touch. Purrble’s heartbeat speeds up when it senses somebody’s playing with it. Kids can then comfort their companion with gentle petting, slowing Purrble’s rapid heartbeat to a purr (咕噜声) — calming themselves as well in the process. Thames & Kosmos Mega Cyborg Hand ($39.95) The effort to get kids interested in science has just got a helping hand — a cyborg hand, to be precise. Kids build a robotic arm that copies their hand gestures, while they learn about engineering and robotics. Once assembled (组装) and slipped on like a glove, the device passes forces from the user’s fingers to the extended ones of the robotic hand. Lego recycled brick (Unpriced) The Lego Group, intending to make all Lego bricks from sustainable sources by 2030, spent the past three years testing different recycled PET plastic materials, and finally developed its first recycled PET brick that is nearly identical to the usual brick. The Danish toy company hopes to integrate the recycled blocks into Lego sets in the next 18 to 24 months. 1. What do Sphero Indi and Thames & Kosmos Mega Cyborg Hand have in common? A. They are invented by kids. B. They need fitting together first. C. They train kids in programming. D. They combine fun with learning. 2. Which invention best suits kids who need emotional comfort? A. Sphero Indi. B. Lego recycled brick. C. Sproutel Purrble. D. Thames & Kosmos Mega Cyborg Hand. 3. What makes Lego recycled brick special? A. It can be mass produced. B. It is environmentally friendly. C. It is a solution to testing plastics. D. It looks distinct from the usual one. B As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm. While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent. I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake. Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself. Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it’s important to me. 4. What made the author want to leave her hometown? A. Appeal of convenience in cities. B. Her dream of becoming a writer. C. Outside prejudice against southerners. D. Her desire for the northern accent. 5. How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother? A. Upset. B. Pleased. C. Ashamed. D. Surprised. 6. Why on earth did the author try to change Emily’s accent? A. To prove herself right. B. To help Emily be a reporter. C. To make herself influential. D. To protect Emily’s self-dignity. 7. What message does the text want to convey? A. Stay true to your roots. B. Never do things by halves. C. Hold on to your dreams. D. Never judge a person by his accent. C In recent studies we have been investigating mirror writing by typical 4- to 6-year-old children. The term is used because the characters — numbers and capital letters — are reversed (反向), yet are correct when looked at in a mirror. Mirror writing entered the scientific literature in 1878. The explanations for the phenomenon were not only insufficient but also often wrong. One of them is — writing with the left hand. Throughout the 20th century, scientific journals have published mirror writing mostly produced by left-handed children. Even today, left-handedness is often the favorite explanation of teachers when children produce mirror writing. The explanation we find for the phenomenon of mirror writing of characters works on two successive levels, the first cerebral and the second behavioral. The cerebral level shows that the brain removes orientation (left or right) when storing images, a process called symmetrisation or mirror generalization. This mirror-generalization process leads children aged 5 to know, from memory, the shape of the characters, but not their left/right orientation. Given the features of the process — horizontal mirror in the visual modality (视觉模式) — it is important to note that the initial learning of the form of the characters by the children is mainly visual, and that the children only produce horizontal mirror writing. At the behavioral level when children write the characters from memory, they must give them an orientation. In countries whose primary languages are written in Latin characters — written from left to right — children most often point them toward the right. This leads them to reverse mainly the left-oriented characters: J, Z, 1, 2, 3, 7, and 9. However, when spatial constraints cause them to write from right to left, the children instead reverse the right-oriented letters. Since this explanation has nothing to do with the handedness of the children, it can be predicted that right-handed children will reverse characters almost often as left-handed children, and that – left-handed or right-handed – children will primarily reverse left-oriented characters in Western culture. This is because they strictly orient the characters in the direction of writing. 8. What aspect of a character does mirror generalization help children to know? A. Its form. B. Its pronunciation. C. Its meaning. D. Its orientation. 9. Which paragraph shows why mirror writing is reversed horizontally rather than vertically (垂直)? A. Paragraph 2. B. Paragraph 3. C. Paragraph 4. D. Paragraph 5. 10. Which of the following is likely to be reversed by a child writing from right to left? A. M. B. C. C. 8. D. 9. 11. What can we learn from the study? A. Handedness is the main reason for mirror writing. B. Right-handed children won’t write reversed characters. C. Left-handed children reverse right-oriented characters more often. D. Children in the US tend to primarily reverse left-oriented characters. D The digital revolution has arrived. As automation becomes ever more common, even those professions once thought to be insulated from technological disruption（扰乱）face an uncertain future. Given that state of uncertainty, Northeastern University President Joseph Aoun argues that college graduates can no longer be confident that the job they hold will be financially sustainable for the long term. Automation, long a threat to low-skilled jobs, is now cost-effective in all repetitive work, including high-skilled jobs in health care, law, and research. Thus, for many the prospect of being replaced by a robot is more pressing. To address this it falls to higher education to prepare graduates for changes that are sweeping through the world of work. But how can institutions prepare the next generation, when it's not clear what professions will exist to employ them? Aoun argues that universities must reinvent themselves to address this age of disruption and to provide their students with the educational foundation that ensures their employability in the coming decades. To do so, he calls for higher education to focus on those features that separate humans from machines. He named this new framework "Humanics". Aoun details a two-tiered（两层的）structure for Humanics and explains how these tiers work together to develop creativity in students. The first tier consists of 21st-century literacies that he argues must be central to any forward-thinking educational program. In addition to reading, writing, and arithmetic, Aoun argues that all students must be competent in data interpretation and analysis, technical functions like engineering, and human-centric studies such as design thinking and communication. This first tier of literacies forms the basis for Aoun's second tier of cognitive（认知的） capacities. Systems thinking, critical thinking, and cultural awareness constitute the mind-sets that Aoun argues are critical to distinguishing human employees from machines. A student with these mind-sets can solve problems creatively while making logical judgments. Having defined what a robot-proof education must involve, Aoun looks into how that education should be offered and what colleges and universities must do to meet the needs of a modern student body. He calls for higher education to fully accept experiential, lifelong learning. He argues that it is only through rich experiences that students can apply their 21st-century literacies to complex problems, which will eventually shape their mind-sets. This type of learning must be lifelong because the rapid rate of change that accompanies automation will require that students consistently refresh their skill sets Aoun acknowledges that education will never be a cure-all for society's ills. A more practical approach might be to see Humanics not as a new medicine but rather as a supplement to our current educational system. In an automated world, to prepare for the economic disruption such automation may cause, higher education must create a generation of graduates that is liberated to think creatively while continuing to function in more traditional capacities. Perhaps that will ensure workers and the universities that educate them are indeed robot proof. 12. What does the underlined word "insulated" in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Generated B. Sheltered C. Prohibited. D. Separated. 13. What can we learn about automation from the first two paragraphs? A. It has posed a threat to employment. B. It has made high-skilled jobs demanding. C. It helps to fuel the process of digitalization. D. It promotes the development of new professions. 14. According to Joseph Aoun, institutions should________. A. set the trend for automation B. provide a robot-proof education C. redefine the framework of Humanics D. value cognitive capacities over literacies 15. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Where is automation leading us? B. What does Humanics mean to universities? C. Why is it critical to acquire higher education? D. How can we get ready for an uncertain future? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Complaining is often looked at as a negative, but if you perfect it great things can happen. ____16____ Articles and experts insist that too much complaining will lower your empathy (共情) and stop you achieving your dream and living the life you want.

Far ahead, I could see the back of my brother’s sandy hair and the bright orange of his shorts. “Too slow, sister!” I heard Sam yell as he hopped with ease. “I’ll show him,” I thought, and attempted a double jump. What a mistake! My left foot came down hard between the edges of two gray rocks, scraping my ankle. “Ouch!” I yelled. I tried to wiggle (扭动) my foot out, but my shoe was stuck. I bent closer to the rock and that’s when I saw it: a shiny, square shaped stone the color of water, attached to a glittery gold chain. It was just lying there on the wet sand, and a few seconds later it was in my pocket. Sam squinted (眯着眼睛看) in the sun. Could he tell I was hiding the most perfect discovery of the summer? I kept turning the treasure around in my pocket pushing each corner of the square stone into my finger. I was dizzy, but I didn’t want Sam to notice. He liked to tell everybody my business. “Ryan saved the mini cola bottle from the carnival. It happened to be perfect for sand art!” “Ryan wasted her allowance on salt and pepper shakers from the yard sale!” They were antique little pigs and cost only 50 cents. My family calls me their “little collector. Some mean kids at school call me “trash girl”. Sam and I walked along the main street, the small buildings giving us a break from the sun. Through the window of the candy shop, I could see tubes of colorful jelly beans. A sign on the window’s glass read LOST: Gold and blue necklace. Very special. If found, call Chrissy at 555-9924. Chrissy had drawn a crayon version of the necklace at the bottom of the poster. The necklace looked different from the one I clutched in my pocket, I decided. Rounder, bluer. The poster appeared old and weathered. It must have been put up months ago. We continued to walk, and I noticed four more posters. Someone must have returned that necklace by now, I thought. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Once home, I placed the necklace in my special spot for special things, lost in thought. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting across from Chrissy in the candy shop. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 沈阳市第120中学2025-2026学年度下学期 高三年级第七次质量监测 英语 满分：150分 时间：120分钟 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 注意，听力部分答题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5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.

Once assembled (组装) and slipped on like a glove, the device passes forces from the user’s fingers to the extended ones of the robotic hand.(让孩子们对科学感兴趣的努力刚刚得到了一只帮手——准确地说，是一只半机械人的手。孩子们在学习工程学和机器人技术的同时，制作了一个模仿他们手势的机械手臂。一旦组装好，像手套一样戴上，这个装置就会把力量从用户的手指传递到机器人手的伸出的手指上)”可知，Sphero Indi和Thames & Kosmos Mega Cyborg Hand的共同之处是都把学习和娱乐结合起来。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“For children who are upset for some reason, Purrble comes to their rescue.(对于那些因为某种原因而心烦意乱的孩子，Purrble会来拯救他们)”以及“Kids can then comfort their companion with gentle petting, slowing Purrble’s rapid heartbeat to a purr (咕噜声)—calming themselves as well in the process.(然后，孩子们可以用温柔的抚摸来安慰他们的伴侣，把Purrble快速的心跳放慢到咕噜声——在这个过程中，他们自己也会平静下来)”可知，Sproutel Purrble最适合需要情感安慰的孩子。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The Lego Group, intending to make all Lego bricks from sustainable sources by 2030, spent the past three years testing different recycled PET plastic materials, and finally developed its first recycled PET brick that is nearly identical to the usual brick.(乐高集团打算在2030年之前用可持续资源生产所有乐高积木，在过去的三年里，他们测试了不同的再生PET塑料材料，最终开发出了第一块与普通砖块几乎相同的再生PET砖)”可知，Lego recycled brick的特别之处是环保。故选B。 B As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm. While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent. I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake. Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself. Grandma Carolyn used to tell me “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it’s important to me. 4. What made the author want to leave her hometown? A. Appeal of convenience in cities. B. Her dream of becoming a writer. C. Outside prejudice against southerners. D. Her desire for the northern accent. 5. How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother? A. Upset. B. Pleased. C. Ashamed. D. Surprised. 6. Why on earth did the author try to change Emily’s accent? A. To prove herself right. B. To help Emily be a reporter. C. To make herself influential. D. To protect Emily’s self-dignity. 7. What message does the text want to convey? A. Stay true to your roots. B. Never do things by halves. C. Hold on to your dreams. D. Never judge a person by his accent. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者因为别人的偏见以及追求更好的生活改变自己的口音，但后来才意识到这样做抹杀了自己身份的一部分，也明白了要坚守本根。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities.(在成长过程中，我开始意识到，在我们的地区之外，南方人经常被认为是没有文化和无知的。我准备离开我在西田纳西州的小镇，开始新的生活，并在一些遥远的城市抓住大好机会)”可知，作者决定离开南部的家乡是因为其他人认为南方人没文化、无知，即外部对南方人的偏见。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.(在我们的友谊之初，她妈妈问我来自哪里，以为是北方的某个地方。然后我觉得我的努力得到了回报，甚至想忽略这个错误)”推知，当被Emily的妈妈误会来自北方时，作者是非常开心的。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. (我担心这会使我失去成为著名杂志作家的资格。我就得少说些“乡村”了。所以我抹杀了自己身份的一部分)”，第三段的“She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours(她决心为校报工作，而我醒着的大部分时间都在那里度过的)”以及倒数第二段的“I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. (我建议她更像我，隐藏她标志性的曼彻斯特口音。在我们的大学生活中，我经常通过取笑她的元音来强调这一点。我告诉自己，我是在帮她实现当记者的梦想)”可知，作者通过改变自己的口音获得了在校报工作的机会。由此推知，作者努力改变Emily的口音是为了证明自己是对的，即改变南方口音就有可能获得好工作。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第二段的“I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent.(我很惭愧，但我更惭愧的是我试图抹杀别人的那部分——改变艾米丽的口音)”和最后一段“Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. (卡罗琳奶奶过去常对我说：“女孩，别忘了你来自哪里。”现在我真的明白了。许多事情已经从记忆中消失了，但这件事却以令人不安的清晰印象留在了我的脑海中)”可知，文章想要传达的信息是：坚守本根。故选A。 C In recent studies we have been investigating mirror writing by typical 4- to 6-year-old children. The term is used because the characters — numbers and capital letters — are reversed (反向), yet are correct when looked at in a mirror. Mirror writing entered the scientific literature in 1878. The explanations for the phenomenon were not only insufficient but also often wrong. One of them is — writing with the left hand. Throughout the 20th century, scientific journals have published mirror writing mostly produced by left-handed children. Even today, left-handedness is often the favorite explanation of teachers when children produce mirror writing. The explanation we find for the phenomenon of mirror writing of characters works on two successive levels, the first cerebral and the second behavioral. The cerebral level shows that the brain removes orientation (left or right) when storing images, a process called symmetrisation or mirror generalization. This mirror-generalization process leads children aged 5 to know, from memory, the shape of the characters, but not their left/right orientation. Given the features of the process — horizontal mirror in the visual modality (视觉模式) — it is important to note that the initial learning of the form of the characters by the children is mainly visual, and that the children only produce horizontal mirror writing. At the behavioral level, when children write the characters from memory, they must give them an orientation. In countries whose primary languages are written in Latin characters — written from left to right — children most often point them toward the right. This leads them to reverse mainly the left-oriented characters: J, Z, 1, 2, 3, 7, and 9. However, when spatial constraints cause them to write from right to left, the children instead reverse the right-oriented letters. Since this explanation has nothing to do with the handedness of the children, it can be predicted that right-handed children will reverse characters almost often as left-handed children, and that – left-handed or right-handed – children will primarily reverse left-oriented characters in Western culture. This is because they strictly orient the characters in the direction of writing. 8. What aspect of a character does mirror generalization help children to know? A. Its form. B. Its pronunciation. C. Its meaning. D. Its orientation. 9. Which paragraph shows why mirror writing is reversed horizontally rather than vertically (垂直)? A. Paragraph 2. B. Paragraph 3. C. Paragraph 4. D. Paragraph 5. 10. Which of the following is likely to be reversed by a child writing from right to left? A. M. B. C. C. 8. D. 9. 11 What can we learn from the study? A. Handedness is the main reason for mirror writing. B. Right-handed children won’t write reversed characters. C. Left-handed children reverse right-oriented characters more often. D Children in the US tend to primarily reverse left-oriented characters. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究表明，儿童在4到6岁时可能会出现镜像书写的现象，即数字和大写字母在书写时会发生左右颠倒，但在镜子中观察时则是正确的，文章探讨了儿童镜像书写现象的成因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“This mirror-generalization process leads children aged 5 to know, from memory, the shape of the characters, but not their left/right orientation.(这种镜像泛化的过程使5岁的孩子从记忆中知道汉字的形状，但不知道它们的左右方向)”可知，镜像泛化能帮助孩子了解文字的形式。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Given the features of the process—horizontal mirror in the visual modality(考虑到这个过程的特点——视觉模式中的水平镜像)”可知，第三段的这部分信息说明了镜像书写是水平的而不是垂直的。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“In countries whose primary languages are written in Latin characters — written from left to right — children most often point them toward the right. This leads them to reverse mainly the left-oriented characters: J, Z, 1, 2, 3, 7, and 9. However, when spatial constraints cause them to write from right to left, the children instead reverse the right-oriented letters(在以拉丁字母为主要语言的国家——从左到右书写——孩子们通常把字母指向右边。这导致他们主要会写反左向字符：J、Z、1、2、3、7和9。然而，当空间限制导致他们从右向左书写时，孩子们反而颠倒了右向字符)”可知，在拉丁文字符为主的从左到右书写的国家，儿童通常会将字符的指向朝向右边。这导致他们主要会颠倒那些左向字符，比如J、Z、1、2、3、7和9等。然而，当空间限制导致他们需要从右到左书写时，儿童反而会颠倒那些右向字符，因此字母C可能会被孩子从右向左书写时弄得颠倒了。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“it can be predicted that right-handed children will reverse characters almost often as left-handed children, and that–left-handed or right-handed–children will primarily reverse left-oriented characters in Western culture. This is because they strictly orient the characters in the direction of writing.(可以预测，右撇子的孩子几乎会像左撇子的孩子一样经常反转字符，而且在西方文化中，无论是左撇子还是右撇子，他们主要会反转向左的字符。这是因为他们严格按照书写的方向来定位字符)”可知， 在美国孩子们往往将左向字符弄颠倒了。故选D。 D The digital revolution has arrived. As automation becomes ever more common, even those professions once thought to be insulated from technological disruption（扰乱）face an uncertain future. Given that state of uncertainty, Northeastern University President Joseph Aoun argues that college graduates can no longer be confident that the job they hold will be financially sustainable for the long term. Automation, long a threat to low-skilled jobs, is now cost-effective in all repetitive work, including high-skilled jobs in health care, law, and research. Thus, for many the prospect of being replaced by a robot is more pressing. To address this, it falls to higher education to prepare graduates for changes that are sweeping through the world of work. But how can institutions prepare the next generation, when it's not clear what professions will exist to employ them? Aoun argues that universities must reinvent themselves to address this age of disruption and to provide their students with the educational foundation that ensures their employability in the coming decades. To do so, he calls for higher education to focus on those features that separate humans from machines. He named this new framework "Humanics". Aoun details a two-tiered（两层的）structure for Humanics and explains how these tiers work together to develop creativity in students. The first tier consists of 21st-century literacies that he argues must be central to any forward-thinking educational program. In addition to reading, writing, and arithmetic, Aoun argues that all students must be competent in data interpretation and analysis, technical functions like engineering, and human-centric studies such as design thinking and communication. This first tier of literacies forms the basis for Aoun's second tier of cognitive（认知的） capacities. Systems thinking, critical thinking, and cultural awareness constitute the mind-sets that Aoun argues are critical to distinguishing human employees from machines. A student with these mind-sets can solve problems creatively while making logical judgments. Having defined what a robot-proof education must involve, Aoun looks into how that education should be offered and what colleges and universities must do to meet the needs of a modern student body. He calls for higher education to fully accept experiential, lifelong learning. He argues that it is only through rich experiences that students can apply their 21st-century literacies to complex problems, which will eventually shape their mind-sets. This type of learning must be lifelong because the rapid rate of change that accompanies automation will require that students consistently refresh their skill sets Aoun acknowledges that education will never be a cure-all for society's ills. A more practical approach might be to see Humanics not as a new medicine but rather as a supplement to our current educational system. In an automated world, to prepare for the economic disruption such automation may cause, higher education must create a generation of graduates that is liberated to think creatively while continuing to function in more traditional capacities. Perhaps that will ensure workers and the universities that educate them are indeed robot proof. 12. What does the underlined word "insulated" in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Generated B. Sheltered C. Prohibited. D. Separated. 13. What can we learn about automation from the first two paragraphs? A. It has posed a threat to employment. B. It has made high-skilled jobs demanding. C. It helps to fuel the process of digitalization. D. It promotes the development of new professions. 14. According to Joseph Aoun, institutions should________. A. set the trend for automation B. provide a robot-proof education C. redefine the framework of Humanics D. value cognitive capacities over literacies 15. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Where is automation leading us? B. What does Humanics mean to universities? C. Why is it critical to acquire higher education? D. How can we get ready for an uncertain future? 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述在数字化革命到来后自动化已经威胁人们的职业，Joseph Aoun就这现象提出未来人工智能时代的教育。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。由文章第一段“The digital revolution has arrived. As automation becomes ever more common, even those professions once thought to be insulated from technological disruption face an uncertain future.”（数字化革命已经到来。随着自动化变得越来越常见，甚至那些曾经被认为将免于科技干扰的职业也将面临一个不确定的将来。）由本句中once thought和后面face an uncertain future推断前后句意应该发生转折，前面应该表示看好这些职业，原本认为这些职业不受科技影响。而A.Generated生产； B.Sheltered庇护；C. Prohibited禁止； D.Separated分离。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段中“Automation, long a threat to low-skilled jobs, is now cost-effective in all repetitive work, including high-skilled jobs in health care, law, and research. Thus, for many the prospect of being replaced by a robot is more pressing.”（自动化一直以来就是对低技术工种的威胁，现在也在具有重复性的工种中也显得更划算，其中包括在医疗，法律和研究这是高技能的工作。因此，对于很多工种，被替代的可能性不容忽视。）可知，自动化已经威胁到人们的工作了。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文中“Having defined what a robot-proof education must involve, Aoun looks into how that education should be offered and what colleges and universities must do to meet the needs of a modern student body. ”（在定义未来人工智能时代的教育后，Aoun正在研究教育应该怎样提供以及学院和大学应该做什么来满足当代学生的需求。）以及文章最后一段“Perhaps that will ensure workers and the universities that educate them are indeed robot proof.”（可能那将确保工人，而且提供他们教育的大学是真正的未来人工智能时代的教育），可知，Aoun希望学院能提供robot-proof education。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第二段“ how can institutions prepare the next generation, when it's not clear what professions will exist to employ them?”（当还不清楚什么职业将会存在来雇佣他们，学院们怎么让下一代做好准备？）以后后文Aoun提出的robot-proof education可知，文章主要就我们应该怎么为未来的工作做好准备提出了观点。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Complaining is often looked at as a negative, but if you perfect it great things can happen. ____16____ Articles and experts insist that too much complaining will lower your empathy (共情) and stop you achieving your dream and living the life you want.

Although虽然；B. When当…时；C. Because因为；D.

But 39. advances 40. accuracy 41. under 42. a 43. have developed 44. transforming 45. those 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了目击者指认罪犯时常出现错误的原因，以及科学家通过研发新软件、制作3D数字模型来提高目击者指认准确性的相关研究。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：接受从一组潜在嫌疑人中选出所有他们记得的面孔这项任务时，目击者面临着巨大挑战。此处作状语，“task”与逻辑主语“eyewitnesses”之间是被动关系，故用过去分词，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Tasked。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：接受从一组潜在嫌疑人中选出所有他们记得的面孔这项任务时，目击者面临着巨大挑战。此处为关系词引导的定语从句，修饰先行词faces，先行词被“all”修饰，且指物，关系代词用that。故填that。 【38题详解】 考查连词。句意：但一项新研究表明，科学家们已经取得了进展，让目击者证据更准确。上下文为转折关系，句首首字母大写。故填But。 【39题详解】 考查名词。句意：但一项新研究表明，科学家们已经取得了进展，让目击者证据更准确。“make advances”为固定搭配，表示“取得进展”，advance为可数名词，根据句意可知，此处表示取得的进展不止一项，所以使用名词复数形式。故填advances。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：但一项新研究表明，科学家们已经取得了进展，让目击者证据更准确。“have”后接名词作宾语，accurate的名词为accuracy，意为“准确性”，不可数名词。故填accuracy。 【41题详解】 考查介词。句意：“我们通常看到犯罪只发生一次，在非常迅速、情绪紧张和环境不友好的情况下，这可能使目击者识别成为一种可怕的识别形式，”法医心理学教授希瑟·弗洛说。此处为介词短语作状语，结合句意可知，此处表示“在……情况下”，“under…conditions”表示“在……情况下”。故填under。 【42题详解】 考查冠词。句意：“我们通常看到犯罪只发生一次，在非常迅速、情绪紧张和环境不友好的情况下，这可能使目击者识别成为一种可怕的识别形式，”法医心理学教授希瑟·弗洛说。此处泛指“一位教授”，professor以辅音音素开头，用a。故填a。 【43题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：“到目前为止，我们已经开发出新的低成本软件，将一段短视频或几张人脸照片转化为3D数字模型，其标准比过去的更高。该模型被置于一个互动式嫌犯辨认队列中，参与者可通过将面部移动到任何有助于记忆的理想位置，来对其进行操控。”弗洛说。此处为谓语动词，“by the present”与现在完成时连用，主语为we，助动词用have。故填have developed。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：“到目前为止，我们已经开发出新的低成本软件，将一段短视频或几张人脸照片转化为3D数字模型，其标准比过去的更高。该模型被置于一个互动式嫌犯辨认队列中，参与者可通过将面部移动到任何有助于记忆的理想位置，来对其进行操控。”弗洛说。此处作状语，主句的主语we与transform之间为主动关系，所以使用现在分词形式。故填transforming。 【45题详解】 考查代词。句意：“到目前为止，我们已经开发出新的低成本软件，将一段短视频或几张人脸照片转化为3D数字模型，其标准比过去的更高。该模型被置于一个互动式嫌犯辨认队列中，参与者可通过将面部移动到任何有助于记忆的理想位置，来对其进行操控。”弗洛说。此处为代词作宾语，结合句意可知，此处表示“那些（标准）”，所以使用those指代上文提到的standards。故填those。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假设你是高中生李华。你与交换生Jeremy同属一个学习小组，他提议用AI完成实验报告的初稿。请你用英语给他写一封电子邮件，内容包括：1. 委婉拒绝；2. 理由及建议。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Jeremy, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jeremy, I’m writing to respond to your proposal of using AI to draft our experiment report. Honestly, I have to decline it politely. Using AI may save time, but it can’t reflect our real understanding of the experiment. Worse still, we might miss the chance to practice analyzing data and organizing ideas independently, which is vital for our study. How about we finish the draft together? We can discuss the experiment process first and then divide the work reasonably. This way, we can learn from each other and improve our abilities. Looking forward to your reply. Yours, Li Hua 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以李华的名义给交换生Jeremy写一封邮件，委婉拒绝他用AI完成学习小组实验报告初稿的提议。 【详解】1.词汇积累 回复：respond to → reply to 拒绝：decline → turn down 利用：use → utilize/take advantage of 提高：improve → enhance 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：I’m writing to respond to your proposal of using AI to draft our experiment report. 拓展句：I’m writing to respond to your proposal that we use AI to draft our experiment report. 【点睛】【高分句型1】I’m writing to respond to your proposal of using AI to draft our experiment report.（运用了动名词作宾语和动词不定式to draft作目的状语） 【高分句型2】Worse still, we might miss the chance to practice analyzing data and organizing ideas independently, which is vital for our study.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 I was moving as fast as I could, stepping cautiously from rock to rock along the uneven jetty (栈桥). Far ahead, I could see the back of my brother’s sandy hair and the bright orange of his shorts. “Too slow, sister!” I heard Sam yell as he hopped with ease. “I’ll show him,” I thought, and attempted a double jump. What a mistake! My left foot came down hard between the edges of two gray rocks, scraping my ankle. “Ouch!” I yelled. I tried to wiggle (扭动) my foot out, but my shoe was stuck. I bent closer to the rock and that’s when I saw it: a shiny, square shaped stone the color of water, attached to a glittery gold chain. It was just lying there on the wet sand, and a few seconds later it was in my pocket. Sam squinted (眯着眼睛看) in the sun. Could he tell I was hiding the most perfect discovery of the summer? I kept turning the treasure around in my pocket, pushing each corner of the square stone into my finger. I was dizzy, but I didn’t want Sam to notice. He liked to tell everybody my business. “Ryan saved the mini cola bottle from the carnival. It happened to be perfect for sand art!” “Ryan wasted her allowance on salt and pepper shakers from the yard sale!” They were antique little pigs and cost only 50 cents. My family calls me their “little collector. Some mean kids at school call me “trash girl”. Sam and I walked along the main street, the small buildings giving us a break from the sun. Through the window of the candy shop, I could see tubes of colorful jelly beans. A sign on the window’s glass read LOST: Gold and blue necklace. Very special. If found, call Chrissy at 555-9924. Chrissy had drawn a crayon version of the necklace at the bottom of the poster. The necklace looked different from the one I clutched in my pocket, I decided. Rounder, bluer. The poster appeared old and weathered. It must have been put up months ago. We continued to walk, and I noticed four more posters. Someone must have returned that necklace by now, I thought. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Once home, I placed the necklace in my special spot for special things, lost in thought. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting across from Chrissy in the candy shop. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Once home, I placed the necklace in my special spot for special things, lost in thought. My mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. The necklace, with its shimmering stone and golden chain, was undeniably beautiful, but the guilt of keeping something that wasn’t mine weighed heavily on me. I imagined Chrissy’s disappointment and the sadness she must have felt when she lost it. I knew I had to do the right thing, even if it meant parting with my newfound treasure. With a deep breath, I decided to return the necklace to its rightful owner. Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting across from Chrissy in the candy shop. My heart was pounding as I carefully pulled the necklace out of my pocket and placed it on the table between us. “I think this might be yours,” I said softly, my voice trembling slightly. Chrissy’s eyes filled with tears of joy as she recognized her lost necklace. She thanked me repeatedly, her gratitude overwhelming. As we talked, I realized that returning the necklace not only made Chrissy happy but also gave me a sense of peace and pride. I had done the right thing, and that was more valuable than any treasure I could have kept. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者出去玩时意外捡到一条看起来很特别的项链，并偷偷藏入衣兜。尽管作者内心窃喜，但是看到糖果店窗上的寻物启事，得知失主焦急寻找，作者仍陷入归还与否的内心挣扎。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“回到家后，我把项链放在特殊的地方，陷入了沉思。”可知，第一段可描写作者内心的挣扎与最终决定归还项链的决心。 ②由第二段首句内容“十五分钟后，我坐在糖果店里克丽丝对面。”可知，第二段可描写作者与克丽丝在糖果店见面，归还项链并感受到内心的平静与自豪。 2. 续写线索：回家放置项链——内心挣扎——决定归还——与克丽丝见面——归还项链——感受内心平静与自豪 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①想象：imagine/visualize ②决定做：decide to do/determine to do/make up one’s mind to do ③颤抖：tremble/quiver 情绪类： ①悲伤：sadness/sorrow/grief ②感激：gratitude/thankfulness 【点睛】【高分句型1】I imagined Chrissy’s disappointment and the sadness she must have felt when she lost it.
