B On a sunny weekend, a man took his 10-year-old son for a walk in a quiet forest. The boy skipped ahead excitedly, chasing a colorful butterfly flying among green leaves, his little hands waving gently as he ran. Suddenly, his foot caught on a thick root hidden under the soft grass. He tripped and fell to the ground, a sharp pain shooting through his knee. He screamed loudly in pain,only to be surprised by a clear echo from the nearby mountain-exactly his scream, lingering in the peaceful woods. Curiosity soon replaced the pain, and the boy raised his voice to call out a simple question to the mountain. But the only response was the same question ringing back from the hard rocks in the distance. Annoyed by this seemingly teasing（戏弄的）repetition, he shouted a rude word angrily,his face turning red with frustration, and the mountain echoed（回声应和）it without hesitation.Confused by the strange phenomenon that he couldn't understand, he turned to his father, who had been watching quietly by his side, for an explanation. 第3页共8页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 The father smiled gently, telling him to pay close attention. He cupped his hands to raise his voice and shouted warm praises to the mountain. Immediately, the mountain responded with the same positive words, clear and warm. The boy stared in amazement, forgetting his knee pain as his father explained the phenomenon. People call this an “echo," but it is more than a natural sound-it reflects life itself. Life always gives back what one puts into it, a true mirror of our words and actions. To gain love, kindness or respect, we must first offer these sincerely. 24.What made the boy angry during the walk? A.Falling down. B.Missing the butterfly. C.Repetition of his words. D. Father's failure to help. 25. Which is the correct order of the boy's feelings? A.Surprised→Angry →Amazed→Curious B.Curious→Confused→Amazed→Angry C.Curious→Surprised→Angry→Confused D.Surprised→Curious→Angry→Amazed 26.Why did the father shout warm praises to the mountain? A. To calm his son down. B. To teach his son a truth. C. To show his love for nature. D. To make fun of the phenomenon. 27.What can we learn from the story? A. No pain, no gain. B.Practice makes perfect. C.Do well and have well. D.Actions speak louder than words. C The ordinary-seeming act of picking up a T-shirt and folding it into a neat square requires a surprisingly complex understanding of how objects move in three dimensions. Our own ease in accomplishing such tasks comes from a learned understanding of how different fabrics will respond when folded, even if we haven't folded them before, but it's difficult for robots to apply what they learn to new situations that may differ from their training. As a result, current robots are slow and often perform poorly on even the simplest of folding tasks. A big challenge in teaching robots the skill is the countless ways that various fabrics can crumple（变皱）.Think about all the times you've thrown a T-shirt into the laundry basket and how it landed in a slightly different-shaped heap each time. It's simple for people to pick up a shirt and quickly find a sleeve or collar to orient themselves, but every unique way a shirt crumples is a new challenge for robots, which are often trained on images of unwrinkled clothing lying flat on a surface,with all features visible. “It's not the fabric itself that is the challenge. It's the number of variations that can be created by the way fabric can be crumpled," says David Held, a robotics researcher. Once they have been trained on a fabric's properties, many robotic systems use a folding strategy called "pick and place", where the robot uses computer vision technology to identify a specific point on a shirt like the left sleeve, then pick up that point and place it down at a different specified point like the right sleeve. In these models, the origin,destination and trajectory（轨迹）of the movement are predetermined based on assumed properties of the fabric, such as stretch and weight. Though it may sound straightforward, the approach limits the ability of robots to adapt to real-time changes in the environment-such as a pair of pants being far heavier than expected, or a button getting in the way. If such complications arise, the system can't change its trajectory to complete a fold correctly. 28. Why do robots perform poorly in folding tasks? A.They fail to apply learning to new situations. B. They struggle to know the fabric. C. They lack the relevant training. D.They can't observe new situations. 第4页 共8页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 29. What makes robots' learning to fold clothes difficult? A. The ways that people pick up their T-shirts. B. Countless fabric variations from crumpling. C. Very few images about unwrinkled clothing. D.Different assumed properties of the fabric. 30.What can we know about the strategy called "pick and place"? A.It is highly effective. B.It can adapt to changes. C. It ignores fabric's weight. D. It has certain shortcomings. 31.What may be the best title for the text? A.Humans' Natural Ability to Fold Clothes B.Pick and Place: A Common Robot Strategy C. Robot's Big Challenge: Folding Clothes D.The Endless Possibilities of Home Robots D When people see me today, they often think my path was paved with high-tech success.However, the most important lessons of my life didn't come from a computer lab; they came from a Denny's restaurant in a small town. My family had immigrated to the United States when I was a child, and we didn't have much. As a teenager, I was quite shy and struggled to fit in. To support myself and gain some confidence, I took a job as a dishwasher and a waiter. It was a humble beginning, but it was there that I learned the value of hard work and the importance of serving others. In that busy kitchen, there was no room for excuses. If the dishes weren't clean, the whole system stopped. I had to be organized, fast, and, most importantly, resilient. I remember the heat of the kitchen and the constant pressure of a Friday night rush. My manager once told me that excellence isn't an act, but a habit. I took that to heart. I realized that even the smallest task, like cleaning a table or mopping a floor, deserved my full attention and effort. This mindset of "doing your best at whatever you do" became the foundation of my professional life. Later,when I moved on to study electrical engineering, I carried those lessons with me. I wasn't the smartest student in the room, but I was certainly the most persistent. I treated my difficult coding assignments with the same focus I had given to those restaurant shifts. I learned that innovation is often just the result of staying with a problem longer than anyone else is willing to. My childhood taught me that your background doesn't define your future; your work ethic does. Today, as I lead a company at the center of the AI revolution, I still think of myself as that boy in the kitchen, always ready to work hard and keep learning. 32.What did the manager's words lead the author to understand? A.Confidence in one's abilities leads to excellence B. One should focus energy only on the most critical tasks C. Repeatedly practising a skill builds lasting muscle memory D. Every task, no matter how small, deserves one's best effort 33.How did the author approach his university engineering studies? A.By relying on his strong natural intelligence B. By bringing the same persistence he had in the kitchen C. By choosing simpler assignments to build confidence first D. By learning directly from experienced senior engineers 34.According to the author, what is innovation most closely linked to? A.The willingness to endure when others have already given up B. Receiving formal training in engineering or technology C. Collaborating closely with a talented and driven team D. Being placed in the right environment at the right time 35.What is the main message the author conveys in this passage? A. Moving to a new country creates the best chance of success B. Natural talent is always less important than hard work C. Lessons from a humble start can shape one's entire career 第5页 共8页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 D.Working in the service industry is the best form of education 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分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。 Eco-friendly ways to water your garden Whether you're trying to prevent your lawn becoming a desert, or want to keep your plants healthy, saving water in your garden can save you money.

This is a lesson I learned all too well. My name is Alex and at 15 years old, I excelled academically yet longed for popularity among my peers（同龄人）.Despite my achievements. I felt overshadowed and unnoticed. The desire to stand out consumed me, pushing me towards a terrible mistake. One day, during a visit to the IT lab with my friends, our teacher mentioned missing computer parts.Curious glances exchanged, everyone wondered aloud how it could happen in a locked lab."It's possible to open that lock with another key," I said, seeking attention and admiration from my peers. Eyes turned to me with interest. It was s rush I'd never felt before-a taste of the attention I wanted so much. To keep it, I even showed how the lock could be opened. Little did I realise,that single moment of pride would lead to an unexpected trouble. The following day, I was called to the principal's office. My heart pounded as I entered. Mr Clark,the principal,looked at me not with anger, but with a calm and kind expression. "Alex," he began gently, "some computer parts are missing from the lab. A few students mentioned you showed them how the lock could be opened. Can you tell me what happened yesterday?" His voice was soft, not accusing. Still, nervousness tightened my throat. I knew I hadn't taken anything,but I was scared of being misunderstood and ashamed of my own foolish boast（吹嘘）.I tried to speak, but no words came out. My eyes grew wet with tears. Seeing this, Mr Clark said quietly, "It's okay. You don't have to answer now. If you remember anything later, you can come tell me." He gave me a kind nod and let me return to class. That evening, I told my dad everything-how I had shown off about the lock, how I was called to the office, and how I was too upset to explain myself clearly. 注意：1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Dad listened quietly and then told me, "We all make mistakes, but brave people fix them." That experience changed how I saw myself. 第8页 共8页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
