B They say that the truth comes out of the children's mouth,and that truth is sometimes more upsetting than we realize.Jen Adams Beason,a 2nd-grade teacher from Louisiana,witnessed this when she asked her students to write about an invention that they didn't like,or an invention that they wish would have never seen the light of day. Jen has 21 students,and she was absolutely heartbroken when she noticed that four of her students shared the same invention:the smartphone.With dozens of notifications()from apps,emails,and social media updates,it could be hard not to look at your phone for longer than five minutes. Jen shared a boy's essay on her Facebook page."I hate my mom's phone and I wish she never had one.That is an invention that I don't like."The essay is even accompanied by a sad and angry face saying"I hate it,"looking at a drawn phone with a cross through it. "I had my 2nd graders write about an invention that they wish had never been created.Out of 21 students,4 of them wrote about this topic.getoffyourphone listentoyourkids,"Jen posted on her Facebook wall. Her message was seen by millions and even shared 300,000 times.It received dozens of eye-opening comments."That is so sad.Great reminder for us all to put those phones down and engage with our kids more,"Tracy Jenkins posted. Luckily,it seems that awareness about smartphone addiction is increasing.Both iPhones and smartphones running on a recent Android operating system will soon include features to monitor, control and restrict your personal smartphone use for your own health. Still,it's interesting to see that parents'concerns about their children becoming addicted to smartphones and other smart devices,are also perfectly true the other way around. 第4页/供11页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APP 24.What did Jen find through the writing task? A.Parents'overuse of their phones. B.Parents'dislike for their children C.Children's resistance to social media.

A.Guilty. B.Helpless. C.Embarrassed. D.Confused. 27.What is the author trying to do in the last paragraph? A.Draw a conclusion. B.Provide evidence. C.Put forward a proposal. D.Call for reflection. c Even after eating a large meal,most people can still find room for sweets.Now,research in mice shows that the nerve cells behind feeling full also contribute to strong desire for sugar.In other words, there seems to be a neurological(神经学的)basis for our love of dessert. Previous studies identified that naturally occurring opioids(阿片类物质)in the brain play a crucial role in sugar desire.The main producers of these opioids are nerve cells located in a brain region that adjusts appetite,,metabolism and hormones.Known as pro-opiomelanocortin(POMC,前阿片黑细 胞皮质微素)nerve cells,,they also control feelings of satiety after eating. To explore whether the cells also drive thirst for sugar,Henning Fenselau at the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research in Germany and his colleagues tracked the opioid signals the POMC cells send in the brain.The researchers monitored the activity of nerve cells in these regions as mice ate their usual food.When the animals seemed to be full,the team gave them a dessert of sugary chow.The results showed that,,on average,the activity between the POMC nerve cells and the PVT(丘脑室旁核)roughly multiplied during dessert consumption,and even rose sharply before the mice started eating the sweets, proving this nerve pathway directly fuels sugar desire.When the team blocked signals from POMC nerve cells to the PVT,the mice consumed 40 per cent less dessert. "The cell types,which are extremely well known for making people feel full,also release signals that cause the appetite for sugar,and they do so particularly in the state of being full,"says Fenselau. "This would explain why animals-humans-over-consume sugar when they're actually full." 第5页/共11页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP 28.What does the underlined word "satiety"in paragraph 2 mean? A.Desire. B.Fullness. C.Appetite. D.Delight. 29.Which of the following is the finding of the mice experiment? A.The mice had more appetite for sugar than usual food. B.The mice had less dessert consumption in their daily diet. C.The mice had more responses in POMC than in PVT areas. D.The mice had less sugar desire as brain signals were interrupted. 30.What can be inferred from Fenselau's words? A.The feeling of being full generates sugar desire. B.Humans consume more sugar than animals. C.Sugar desire has nothing to do with appetite. D.Nerve cells make it easy for people to feel full. 31.What can we learn from the text? A.Potential risks of sugar over-consumption for mice. B.Differences of animal-human neurological responses. C.Explanation of brain mechanism of sugar desire. D.Different views on sugar desire after meals in mice. D Time is something we feel every day-rushing to school,glancing at watches,counting down minutes.Yet,surprisingly,modern physics struggles to explain why time moves forward at all.Einstein's theory of relativity describes time as part of a fixed 4D spacetime,where past,present,and future coexist like pages in a book..Quantum mechanics(量子力学)does not naturally treats time as special一many processes could run backward just as well.So where does time's flow come from? A groundbreaking perspective was proposed in 1983 by scientists Page and Wootters.They proposed that time is an illusion (created by quantum entanglement ()They envisioned the universe as a timeless quantum state.When one part acts as a"clock"and becomes entangled with the rest,time seems to emerge-just like page numbers help us read a story in order. Experimental support is accumulating.In a 2024 study,scientists created a model using entangled quantum magnets and a spring.The entire system was static )yet the spring's state changed over time relative to the clock,demonstrating how time might arise from entanglement. But what could serve as the universe's real clock?Italian physicist Paola Verrucci points to black holes.They are isolated,highly energetic,and-thanks to Hawking radiation-can entangle with the outside world."It's a perfect clock,"she says."You can't touch it,but you can be linked to it." 第6页/供11页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描App More strikingly,Verrucci argues time's direction may come from quantum measurement.Each time we observe reality,possibilities collapse into facts-a one-way process."You create time,"she says, "when you ask what time it is."This view transforms our role from passive witnesses of time to active participants.Time may not be a pre-existing river carrying us,but a story we co-write through our interactions with a quantum universe. 32.What can we know from paragraph 1? A.The theory of relativity views time as independent of space. B.Modern physics can explain why time moves forward easily. C.Quantum mechanics specially focuses on the study of time. D.Our understanding of time varies from physics perspectives. 33.Why did the scientists create the model? A.To explain the quantum entanglement. B.To support a timeless quantum state. C.To show how time comes from entanglement. D.To confirm time exists in a static universe. 34.Wnich viewpoint might Verrucci agree with? A.Hawking radiation generated time. B.There is no ideal clock in universe. C.Observing time helps to create time. D.Time existed as a river before humans. 35.What is the main purpose of the text? A.To present the history of quantum mechanics. B.To explore the origin of time from quantum links. C.To compare a coupie of known spacetime theories. D.To illustrate technology of quantum entanglement. 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。 As humanoid robots begin to enter warehouses and factories,a critical question arises:do we need special safety rules for them?The answer is yes,and for several important reasons. 36 Unlike traditional industrial robots that can be stopped instantly by hitting an emergency button,humanoids are"dynamically stable."This means they need power to stay upright.If you cut the power,they will likely fall over,potentially causing serious injury to nearby workers. 第7页/共11页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APp There is the challenge of defining what exactly needs to be regulated.How should we classify a humanoid robot?Does it need legs?Arms?A head?37This approach would allow safety standards to keep pace with technological innovation without being limited by appearance Communication between robots and humans presents another concern.If robots are to share space with people,they must be able to signal their intentions clearly.For instance,a robot walking around a comer needs to indicate its direction so that people are not surprised.38 There is a psychological factor to consider.People naturally expect more from robots that look like human.39 Experts recommend that safety standards include emotional safety assessments to prevent confusion or stress. These standards help companies build trust in their products and sell them more easily in different countries,while also giving regulators a clear guide for creating their own rules.40 As Vicentini notes,a practical standard must find a balance between competing interests,and"everybody equally unhappy is good enough,"since aiming for perfect agreement is simply not realistic. A.Humanoid robots pose unique physical risks. B.Without clear dialogues,accidents will happen. C.Interactions between humanoid robots can prevent accidents. D.Many believe that physical features are essential for safety standards. E.People may let their guard down,thinking the robots understand more than they do. F.However,agreeing on global regulations is hard due to different concerns in the field. G.Experts suggest dropping the term"humanoid"and focusing on a robot's abilities instead. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分) 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A group of senior high school graduates visited their old professor,eager to share postgraduation twists.As they chatted 41 in the cozy living room,swapping ambition and frustration stories, the professor 42 himself and went to the kitchen.Soon,he returned with a steaming pot of coffee and a tray of various cups.

One night I brainstormed a setup:two small buckets(水桶)connected by a gutter(水档)，with a round-trip pump that takes the water from the lower bucket and feeds it back into the top one,creating a continuous stream without wasting water. 第10页/供11页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APP I decided to take a trip to a home improvement store to look at materials in the gutter section and get some ideas as to how to make it work.Plus,I wanted to price pumps,as I knew that would be the biggest part of the investment. While I was standing in front of the gutters,an employee named Glen approached and offered help. I explained the project and mentioned Connor and his fascination with flowing water,as well as the effect on our water bill.Soon,he brought over two more employees,Jesse and Jeff. To my amazement,together they stayed with me and helped me figure out the entire setup.Jeff went and got more pieces,and we laid out a relay of buckets,pipes,connectors,and a round-trip pump. I started to worry whether I'd remember all the connections to tell my husband Roger about later. So I said that maybe I'd buy the connections but leave the pump,which wasn't quite in the budget,for later. We talked a moment of prices for a couple of the items,and then suddenly they said they'd see about getting me out of there with everything. I looked at them."What do you mean?"I asked. “We'll give it to you.For free.” 注意：续写词数应为150左右： I stared at them,unable to believe what I had just heard. When I drove home with the supplies,I felt something different. 第11页/供11页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APp
