C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了美国国家科学碗竞赛的背景、特点、区域赛及2026年总决赛的关键信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Designed to challenge middle and high school students across a range of science disciplines, it aims to inspire young minds to pursue careers in science.(它旨在挑战不同科学学科的初中和高中学生，激励年轻人追求科学领域的职业)”可知，中学生可以参加该竞赛。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“What sets the NSB apart is its fast-paced question-and-answer format, testing not only knowledge but also quick thinking under pressure.(使NSB与众不同的是其快节奏的问答形式，不仅测试知识，还测试压力下的快速思考能力)”可知，NSB的特别之处在于压力下的快节奏问答。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“National Top 16 Prize: cash prizes for schools’ science departments(全国十六强奖项：面向各校理科院系的现金奖金)”可知，全国前16名队伍会获得面向各校理科院系的现金奖金。 B In an age shaped by social media and self-promotion, people admire a visible version of success, the kind that takes center stage and seeks constant applause. For an extended period, I was a willing participant in this illusion (错觉), measuring my own worth by the volume of recognition I received from others, only to feel disappointed when my quiet contributions went unnoticed. My perspective on value and success shifted greatly during my volunteer time at a small neighborhood library. It was a quiet place with calm yet purposeful daily activities, where the staff worked diligently without expectation of praise or recognition. My responsibilities there were modest and simple: reshelving books, helping a student find a suitable novel, or keeping the reading room quiet and peaceful for everyone. These ordinary and unsung routines, which were easily overlooked by most people, first struck me as trifling, totally lacking the applause and attention I had starved for. Over time, however, I began to see deeper value in these simple tasks. An elderly man came to the library every week, calling it his only shelter of peace in a noisy world. A small group of young locals depended on its quiet and comfortable atmosphere to take a break from their busy lives. I gradually came to realize that the library’s true significance lay not in great public recognition or praise, but in the steady, silent dedication (奉献) of its staff that made it a warm haven (港湾) for the whole community. Eventually, I learned that true competence operates quietly. It lies in the work done without an audience: the small, consistent efforts that make life easier for others. Success does not need a spotlight to be real. The most meaningful contributions are often made without expecting applause, yet they are profoundly valuable. 4. What did the author previously believe? A. Silent work deserved respect. B. Success hid in the dark. C. Visible efforts earned reputation. D. Recognition measured worth. 5. What does the underlined word “trifling” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Effortless. B. Challenging. C. Insignificant. D. Complicated. 6. How does the author illustrate the importance of the library in paragraph 3? A. By giving examples. B. By making contrast. C. By listing statistics. D. By quoting readers. 7. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To compare different types of success. B. To show the value of quiet devotion. C. To describe the experience at a library. D. To advocate seeking public recognition. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了作者从前认同靠外界认可衡量自我价值、追捧博人眼球的显性成功，后在社区图书馆做志愿者的经历中深受触动，领悟到不求掌声的默默奉献才更有深层价值与真正意义。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第一段“For an extended period, I was a willing participant in this illusion(错觉), measuring my own worth by the volume of recognition I received from others (长期以来，我心甘情愿深陷这种错觉之中，依靠他人的认可度来衡量自我价值)” 可知，作者从前认为外界的认可可以衡量个人价值。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文第二段“These ordinary and unsung routines, which were easily overlooked by most people, first struck me as trifling, totally lacking the applause and attention I had starved for. (这些不被人知晓的日常琐事很容易被大多数人忽视，起初我认为这些事情trifling，完全没有我渴望的掌声与关注。)” 可知，这些不被人知晓的日常琐事很容易被大多数人忽视，所以trifling表示这些事情是无意义的，不会被人注意的，故表示“微不足道、无意义的”。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第三段“An elderly man came to the library every week, calling it his only shelter of peace in a noisy world. A small group of young locals depended on its quiet and comfortable atmosphere to take a break from their busy lives. (一位老人每周都会来到图书馆，并称这里是喧嚣世界里唯一的安宁港湾。当地一群年轻人依靠图书馆安静舒适的环境，从忙碌的生活中抽身休憩。)” 可知，作者通过列举老人和当地年轻人的事例，说明图书馆的重要意义。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Eventually, I learned that true competence operates quietly. It lies in the work done without an audience: the small, consistent efforts that make life easier for others. (最终我明白，真正的能力往往无声彰显。它藏在无人注视的付出里，藏在那些默默坚持、为他人带去便利的微小努力中。)” 可知，文章旨在阐述默默奉献的价值与意义。 C In a small village in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Marie Mbenza always goes to her field at daybreak, tending her half-acre of corn and vegetables. But getting her harvest to market is as unpredictable as the weather. Sometimes her tomatoes go bad before they reach town, a daily reality for small-scale farmers in a world where food systems are more fragile (脆弱的) than many realize. Marie is one of the farmers living through a quiet food crisis. A major report, the Resilient Food Systems Index (粮食系统韧性指数) from Economist Impact, first published in March 2026, puts numbers to her struggle. The index ranks 60 countries on how well they can handle shocks: extreme weather, sudden price increases and supply chain breakdowns. The findings reveal a deeply divided world. Marie’s country comes last, scoring 34.86 out of 100, while Portugal ranks first. There is about a 42-point gap between the weakest food system and the strongest. Nearly half of all countries fall into a “middle zone”. Not collapsing, but far from secure. One of the biggest problems in the food system is infrastructure (基础设施). The global score for transportation and delivery systems was just 56.8 out of 100. This matters because when roads are bad and storage is poor, food gets lost. Worldwide, 13.2% of food never reaches store shelves. Another 19% is wasted at home. Climate risks make things worse. The ability to respond to climate shocks scored just 56.4. While research into climate-friendly farming scored relatively well, the ability to actually help farmers put that research into practice averaged only 34. Food prices have risen fastest in low-income countries, up 23.1% over the past five years. The report points to a path forward to close divides across the world plate: better infrastructure, climate action, and making nutritious food affordable. We know what works. But the question is whether the world can move fast enough to fill the plate. 8. Why does the author begin with Marie Mbenza’s story? A. To introduce a struggling farmer. B. To make food crisis easy to feel. C. To show the changeable weather. D. To argue small farms are inefficient. 9. What is Portugal’s most likely score on the Resilient Food Systems Index? A. 34.86. B. 56.4. C. 56.8. D. 76.83. 10. What can we know about climate-friendly farming research? A. It is widely applied in poor countries. B. It scores well but reaches limited farmers. C. It has been overlooked by the report. D. It is the main cause of food price increases. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Guide to Green Farming. B. A Farmer’s Confusion. C. The World’s Divided Plate. D. The Climate Change Crisis. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文以刚果农民Marie Mbenza的具体事例为切入点，引用《粮食系统韧性指数》报告，揭示了全球粮食系统应对冲击能力不均衡的现状，分析了基础设施薄弱、气候变化应对不足等问题，并指出了可能的解决方向。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In a small village in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Marie Mbenza always goes to her field at daybreak, tending her half-acre of corn and vegetables. But getting her harvest to market is as unpredictable as the weather. Sometimes her tomatoes go bad before they reach town, a daily reality for small-scale farmers in a world where food systems are more fragile (脆弱的) than many realize.(在刚果民主共和国的一个小村庄里，玛丽·姆本扎总是天一亮就去田里，照料她那半英亩的玉米和蔬菜。但将收成运到市场却和天气一样难以预测。有时她的西红柿在运到镇上之前就坏了，这是世界上粮食系统比许多人意识到的更脆弱的情况下，小农户的日常现实。)”以及第二段“Marie is one of the farmers living through a quiet food crisis.(玛丽是经历这场无声粮食危机的农民之一。)”可知，作者以Marie Mbenza的故事开篇，是通过具体案例让读者直观感受到粮食危机对个体农民的真实影响，使抽象的“粮食危机”概念变得具体可感。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Marie’s country comes last, scoring 34.86 out of 100, while Portugal ranks first. There is about a 42-point gap between the weakest food system and the strongest(玛丽的国家排名最后，得分34.86分（满分100分），而葡萄牙排名第一。最薄弱的粮食系统和最强的粮食系统之间约有42分的差距。)”可知，刚果民主共和国得分34.86，葡萄牙排名第一，两者差距约42分，因此葡萄牙得分约为34.86 + 42 = 76.86，与选项D的76.83最接近。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“While research into climate-friendly farming scored relatively well, the ability to actually help farmers put that research into practice averaged only 34.(虽然气候友好型农业研究得分相对较高，但实际帮助农民将研究付诸实践的能力平均只有34分。)”可知，气候友好型农业研究本身评分较高，但农民实际应用能力得分极低，说明研究虽好但能接触到、应用到这项研究的农民有限，难以真正落地。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“The findings reveal a deeply divided world.(研究结果揭示了一个严重分裂的世界。)”和“Nearly half of all countries fall into a “middle zone”. Not collapsing, but far from secure.(近一半的国家处于‘中间地带’。没有崩溃，但远未安全。)以及第三段中的“The global score for transportation and delivery systems was just 56.8 out of 100.(运输和配送系统的全球得分仅为56.8分（满分100分）)和最后一段中的“The report points to a path forward to close divides across the world plate(报告指出了缩小全球粮食差距的途径)”可知，全文围绕全球粮食系统的不平等展开，通过指数排名、数据对比和解决方案讨论，突出“分裂”这一核心问题。选项C“The World’s Divided Plate(世界分裂的粮食格局)”准确概括了主题。 D For years, biologists have wondered why many water animals swim in short bursts, which are sudden, energetic movements that last only a moment, followed by long pauses (停顿). The common explanation is that such pauses allow the animals to glide (滑行), reducing drag and saving energy. But is it the case? Researchers at EPFL in Switzerland built ZBot, a robot fish that perfectly copies the shape, movement, and swimming style of a young zebrafish (斑马鱼). Then they ran experiments. They made ZBot swim without stopping in some tests, and in burst-and-glide patterns in others. They measured everything. The results surprised them. Gliding did save energy, but not for the reason they expected. When the robot swam in bursts, its motor worked harder for short periods and then shut off completely during glides. When swimming without stopping, the motor ran all the time at medium power. The motor, it turned out, was more efficient when working in short, strong bursts. The researchers called this “actuator efficiency”. It indicates how well a motor turns energy into useful work. The discovery matters far beyond zebrafish. Electric motors, such as those in factory robots, drones, or electric cars, face the same challenge. Most are built to run all the time at steady speeds. But ZBot suggests that starting and stopping, if timed right, could make batteries last longer and use less energy in many different machines. “This isn’t just about fish,” one researcher said. “It’s about rethinking how we build machines that move.” There are problems, of course. The robot is small, and its movements are simple. Making it bigger will take time. But the idea that starting and stopping can sometimes work better than running all the time challenges a long-held belief in engineering. What looks like a waste in nature, like all those pauses in swimming, often turns out to be wisdom we haven’t yet learned to understand. 12. Why did researchers build ZBot? A. To catch the real zebrafish. B. To create a new kind of motor. C. To test an idea on swimming. D. To copy the shape of zebrafish. 13. What did the researchers find out about the motor of ZBot? A. It worked better in short and strong bursts. B. It did a better job when running non-stop. C. It failed to turn energy into useful work. D. It never stopped working during glides. 14. What is mentioned about the experiment in paragraph 5? A. Its application. B. Its limitations. C. Its principles. D. Its process. 15. What does the author try to illustrate in the last paragraph? A. Nature has lessons we have missed. B. Nature’s wisdom is understandable. C. Nature wastes energy in many ways. D. Nature’s designs are far from perfect. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章探究水生动物短时冲刺间歇游动的原因，通过机器鱼实验得出全新能耗结论，赋能机械动力研发革新。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“For years, biologists have wondered why many water animals swim in short bursts... The common explanation is that such pauses allow the animals to glide, reducing drag and saving energy. But is it the case?(多年来，生物学家一直想知道为什么许多水生动物会短促游动……普遍的解释是，这种停顿能让动物滑行，减少阻力、节省能量。但事实真的如此吗？)”以及第二段“Researchers at EPFL in Switzerland built ZBot, a robot fish that perfectly copies the shape, movement, and swimming style of a young zebrafish (斑马鱼). Then they ran experiments.(瑞士洛桑联邦理工学院的研究人员制造出了ZBot，这是一条能完美复制幼年斑马鱼外形、动作和游动方式的机器鱼。然后他们进行了实验。)”可知，研究人员研制ZBot是为了验证关于水生动物游动方式的相关猜想。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The motor, it turned out, was more efficient when working in short, strong bursts.(事实证明，发动机在短时高强度运转时，工作效率更高)”可知，研究人员发现ZBot的发动机短时高强度运转时运转效果更好。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“There are problems, of course. The robot is small, and its movements are simple. Making it bigger will take time.(当然，这项实验也存在短板。这款机器鱼体型小巧，游动动作也十分简易，想要将其规模化改造还需要耗费大量时间)”可知，第五段主要介绍了本次实验存在的不足之处，也就是实验的局限性。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“What looks like a waste in nature, like all those pauses in swimming, often turns out to be wisdom we haven’t yet learned to understand.(自然界中看似浪费资源的行为，就像水生动物游动时的各类停顿，往往蕴藏着我们尚未参悟的智慧)”可知，作者最后一段想要说明大自然中藏着诸多我们未曾发掘、值得借鉴的经验。 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。 Self-reflection is a mindful practice of turning your attention inward to observe your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

That was until Mateo, my American classmate and close friend, came to study in China and raised a confusion that made me rethink our culture deeply. Absolutely fascinated by Chinese, Mateo immersed himself in every detail of daily life to learn the language sincerely. Every morning he said “xiexie” at the vending (出售) machine, and on his way home, he greeted a parrot with “ni hao”. Pure, polite and curious, he was trying hard to fit into this new culture. One afternoon after class, we sat on the campus bench watching the sunset. Mateo’s cheerful face suddenly darkened. Frowning, he poured out his long-lasting confusion. “I love Chinese, but there’s one thing I just can’t understand: your way of speaking,” he whispered, puzzled and helpless. “It’s too indirect. When invited somewhere, you always say ‘maybe’ instead of a clear yes or no.” He continued with obvious frustration, “Last month I bought a bright red scarf for my host mom. She smiled widely, saying ‘It’s beautiful. Thank you!’ But she has never worn it. In America, my mom would just say directly ‘It’s not my style’. I know my host mom loves me, but your expressions are so hard to read.” I wanted to explain that our indirectness came from deep consideration. We avoided hurting others and valued harmony. Yet all words stuck in my throat. I simply patted his shoulder and promised I would help him understand. His confusion stayed in my mind, and I determined to find a chance to solve it. Days passed. Then one weekend, a great opportunity came as Mateo and I stepped into the old alley (小巷) near our school — my grandma’s favorite place for handmade desserts. We soon lost ourselves in the peaceful atmosphere there. We stopped at a dessert shop and found my grandma was chatting cheerfully with the warm-hearted shop owner, her best friend. 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。 Seeing us approach, the owner immediately handed me a box of desserts. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then I knew how to explain Chinese indirectness to Mateo. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Seeing us approach, the owner immediately handed me a box of desserts. “Take them! They’re just simple snacks.” he said generously. Grandma immediately pushed some money towards him, shaking her head and refusing firmly. The shop owner waved the money away, pretending to be annoyed, while grandma insisted on paying. They went back and forth gently, smiling all the way. Mateo watched the whole scene in silence, his previous confusion returning to his face. He leaned his head a little to one side, eyes wide with doubt, and clearly couldn’t figure out why they refused each other again and again. Then I knew how to explain Chinese indirectness to Mateo. I pulled him aside and explained softly that this was the hidden warmth in our culture. Their seemingly indirect refusals were full of sincerity and kindness. The shop owner wanted to show hospitality, and grandma respected his hard work. I also told him that his host mom’s smile and praise were genuine and showed how much she cherished his kindness. Mateo nodded slowly, a bright smile spreading across his face. At that moment, he didn’t just understand our expressions — he truly felt the gentle, quiet beauty rooted in Chinese culture. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者美国同学马特奥对中国语言交流方式感到困惑，认为中国人说话太间接，作者一直想找机会解释。一天周末，作者和马特奥走进学校附近的小巷，在一家甜品店看到奶奶和店主互相推让收钱，马特奥对此感到不解，作者由此找到机会向他解释中国式委婉背后的文化内涵。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写店主和奶奶互相推让收钱，马特奥对此感到困惑的场景。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者向马特奥解释中国式委婉背后的文化内涵，马特奥理解并感受到了中国文化中温柔而安静的美。 2.续写线索：店主递甜点——奶奶推让付钱——店主拒绝收钱——马特奥困惑——作者解释——马特奥理解——感受文化之美 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①推让：push...towards/urge...to/press...on ②拒绝：wave...away/turn down/refuse ③解释：explain/make it clear/account for 情绪类 ①困惑：confusion/puzzlement/bewilderment ②真诚：sincerity/genuineness/earnestness 【点睛】【高分句型1】He leaned his head a little to one side, eyes wide with doubt, and clearly couldn’t figure out why they refused each other again and again.

Designed to challenge middle and high school students across a range of science disciplines, it aims to inspire young minds to pursue careers in science. With over 350,000 participants taking part over its 35-year history, the competition continues to attract thousands of students each year. What sets the NSB apart is its fast-paced question-and-answer format, testing not only knowledge but also quick thinking under pressure. Each year, students compete in regional tournaments held across the country, with winners advancing to the national finals in Washington, D. C. The 37th Annual Kansas and Missouri Regional Tournament took place on March 6 — 7, 2026, with 13 teams competing for the sole spot in the national finals. Following preliminaries and final rounds, the champion team earned an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C. to join the 2026 National Science Bowl Finals. The table below outlines key details for the 2026 National Finals: Category 2026 Details National Finals Dates April 30 — May 4 National Finals Location Washington, D. C.

What prize will the national top 16 teams get? A. Scholarships for every team member. B. Chances to pursue careers in science. C. Money for school science departments. D. A self-funded trip to Washington, D.C. B In an age shaped by social media and self-promotion, people admire a visible version of success, the kind that takes center stage and seeks constant applause. For an extended period, I was a willing participant in this illusion (错觉), measuring my own worth by the volume of recognition I received from others, only to feel disappointed when my quiet contributions went unnoticed. My perspective on value and success shifted greatly during my volunteer time at a small neighborhood library. It was a quiet place with calm yet purposeful daily activities, where the staff worked diligently without expectation of praise or recognition. My responsibilities there were modest and simple: reshelving books, helping a student find a suitable novel, or keeping the reading room quiet and peaceful for everyone. These ordinary and unsung routines, which were easily overlooked by most people, first struck me as trifling, totally lacking the applause and attention I had starved for. Over time, however, I began to see deeper value in these simple tasks. An elderly man came to the library every week, calling it his only shelter of peace in a noisy world. A small group of young locals depended on its quiet and comfortable atmosphere to take a break from their busy lives. I gradually came to realize that the library’s true significance lay not in great public recognition or praise, but in the steady, silent dedication (奉献) of its staff that made it a warm haven (港湾) for the whole community. Eventually, I learned that true competence operates quietly. It lies in the work done without an audience: the small, consistent efforts that make life easier for others. Success does not need a spotlight to be real. The most meaningful contributions are often made without expecting applause, yet they are profoundly valuable. 4. What did the author previously believe? A. Silent work deserved respect. B. Success hid in the dark. C. Visible efforts earned reputation. D. Recognition measured worth. 5. What does the underlined word “trifling” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Effortless. B. Challenging. C. Insignificant. D. Complicated. 6. How does the author illustrate the importance of the library in paragraph 3? A. By giving examples. B. By making contrast. C. By listing statistics. D. By quoting readers. 7. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To compare different types of success. B. To show the value of quiet devotion. C. To describe the experience at a library. D. To advocate seeking public recognition. C In a small village in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Marie Mbenza always goes to her field at daybreak, tending her half-acre of corn and vegetables. But getting her harvest to market is as unpredictable as the weather. Sometimes her tomatoes go bad before they reach town, a daily reality for small-scale farmers in a world where food systems are more fragile (脆弱的) than many realize. Marie is one of the farmers living through a quiet food crisis. A major report, the Resilient Food Systems Index (粮食系统韧性指数) from Economist Impact, first published in March 2026, puts numbers to her struggle. The index ranks 60 countries on how well they can handle shocks: extreme weather, sudden price increases and supply chain breakdowns. The findings reveal a deeply divided world. Marie’s country comes last, scoring 34.86 out of 100, while Portugal ranks first. There is about a 42-point gap between the weakest food system and the strongest. Nearly half of all countries fall into a “middle zone”. Not collapsing, but far from secure. One of the biggest problems in the food system is infrastructure (基础设施). The global score for transportation and delivery systems was just 56.8 out of 100. This matters because when roads are bad and storage is poor, food gets lost. Worldwide, 13.2% of food never reaches store shelves. Another 19% is wasted at home. Climate risks make things worse. The ability to respond to climate shocks scored just 56.4. While research into climate-friendly farming scored relatively well, the ability to actually help farmers put that research into practice averaged only 34. Food prices have risen fastest in low-income countries, up 23.1% over the past five years. The report points to a path forward to close divides across the world plate: better infrastructure, climate action, and making nutritious food affordable. We know what works. But the question is whether the world can move fast enough to fill the plate. 8. Why does the author begin with Marie Mbenza’s story? A. To introduce a struggling farmer. B. To make food crisis easy to feel. C. To show the changeable weather. D. To argue small farms are inefficient. 9. What is Portugal’s most likely score on the Resilient Food Systems Index? A. 34.86. B. 56.4. C. 56.8. D. 76.83. 10. What can we know about climate-friendly farming research? A. It is widely applied in poor countries. B. It scores well but reaches limited farmers. C. It has been overlooked by the report. D. It is the main cause of food price increases. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Guide to Green Farming. B. A Farmer’s Confusion. C. The World’s Divided Plate. D. The Climate Change Crisis. D For years, biologists have wondered why many water animals swim in short bursts, which are sudden, energetic movements that last only a moment, followed by long pauses (停顿). The common explanation is that such pauses allow the animals to glide (滑行), reducing drag and saving energy. But is it the case? Researchers at EPFL in Switzerland built ZBot, a robot fish that perfectly copies the shape, movement, and swimming style of a young zebrafish (斑马鱼). Then they ran experiments. They made ZBot swim without stopping in some tests, and in burst-and-glide patterns in others. They measured everything. The results surprised them. Gliding did save energy, but not for the reason they expected. When the robot swam in bursts, its motor worked harder for short periods and then shut off completely during glides. When swimming without stopping, the motor ran all the time at medium power. The motor, it turned out, was more efficient when working in short, strong bursts. The researchers called this “actuator efficiency”. It indicates how well a motor turns energy into useful work. The discovery matters far beyond zebrafish. Electric motors, such as those in factory robots, drones, or electric cars, face the same challenge. Most are built to run all the time at steady speeds. But ZBot suggests that starting and stopping, if timed right, could make batteries last longer and use less energy in many different machines. “This isn’t just about fish,” one researcher said. “It’s about rethinking how we build machines that move.” There are problems, of course. The robot is small, and its movements are simple. Making it bigger will take time. But the idea that starting and stopping can sometimes work better than running all the time challenges a long-held belief in engineering. What looks like a waste in nature, like all those pauses in swimming, often turns out to be wisdom we haven’t yet learned to understand. 12. Why did researchers build ZBot? A. To catch the real zebrafish. B. To create a new kind of motor. C. To test an idea on swimming. D. To copy the shape of zebrafish. 13. What did the researchers find out about the motor of ZBot? A. It worked better in short and strong bursts. B. It did a better job when running non-stop. C. It failed to turn energy into useful work. D. It never stopped working during glides. 14. What is mentioned about the experiment in paragraph 5? A. Its application. B. Its limitations. C. Its principles. D. Its process. 15. What does the author try to illustrate in the last paragraph? A. Nature has lessons we have missed. B. Nature’s wisdom is understandable. C. Nature wastes energy in many ways. D. Nature’s designs are far from perfect. 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。 Self-reflection is a mindful practice of turning your attention inward to observe your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

That was until Mateo, my American classmate and close friend, came to study in China and raised a confusion that made me rethink our culture deeply. Absolutely fascinated by Chinese, Mateo immersed himself in every detail of daily life to learn the language sincerely. Every morning he said “xiexie” at the vending (出售) machine, and on his way home, he greeted a parrot with “ni hao”. Pure, polite and curious, he was trying hard to fit into this new culture. One afternoon after class, we sat on the campus bench watching the sunset. Mateo’s cheerful face suddenly darkened. Frowning, he poured out his long-lasting confusion. “I love Chinese, but there’s one thing I just can’t understand: your way of speaking,” he whispered, puzzled and helpless. “It’s too indirect. When invited somewhere, you always say ‘maybe’ instead of a clear yes or no.” He continued with obvious frustration, “Last month I bought a bright red scarf for my host mom. She smiled widely, saying ‘It’s beautiful. Thank you!’ But she has never worn it. In America, my mom would just say directly ‘It’s not my style’. I know my host mom loves me, but your expressions are so hard to read.” I wanted to explain that our indirectness came from deep consideration. We avoided hurting others and valued harmony. Yet all words stuck in my throat. I simply patted his shoulder and promised I would help him understand. His confusion stayed in my mind, and I determined to find a chance to solve it. Days passed. Then one weekend, a great opportunity came as Mateo and I stepped into the old alley (小巷) near our school — my grandma’s favorite place for handmade desserts. We soon lost ourselves in the peaceful atmosphere there. We stopped at a dessert shop and found my grandma was chatting cheerfully with the warm-hearted shop owner, her best friend. 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。 Seeing us approach, the owner immediately handed me a box of desserts. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then I knew how to explain Chinese indirectness to Mateo. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
