SolarSkin is a ultra-thin film that mimics any surface texture—terracotta tiles, slate shingles, or even wooden shakes—while generating electricity at 90% the efficiency of conventional panels. "Homeowners associations reject 40% of solar installations due to visual concerns," explains CEO Rachel Chen, who developed the technology during her PhD research. "SolarSkin makes solar invisible." The film uses micro-structured optics that capture light from wide angles while reflecting specific colors to match surrounding materials. Installed cost runs $8,000 for an average home—35% higher than traditional panels—but the premium reflects aesthetic value. Historic preservation boards have shown particular interest. In Charleston, South Carolina, where strict rules protect 18th-century architecture, SolarSkin enabled the first solar installation on a historic church. "You genuinely cannot tell from street level," says preservation officer Mark Davis. "This changes everything for heritage buildings." Similarly, national parks are testing the film for visitor centers, replacing diesel generators without spoiling natural views. Production challenges remain. Current manufacturing capacity meets only 2% of projected US demand, and the film degrades slightly faster than glass-covered panels—25-year warranties versus 30-year industry standard. Chen's team is building a second factory and developing more durable polymers. "We're racing against climate deadlines," she says. "Every roof without solar is a missed opportunity." The Department of Energy recently awarded SolarSkin a $15 million grant for workforce training. Major homebuilders Lennar and DR Horton have signed pilot agreements for new developments. "Five years from now," Chen predicts, "you won't see solar panels anymore—you'll just see cleaner cities." 21. What problem does SolarSkin primarily address? A. High installation costs. B. Aesthetic concerns of solar panels. C. Low energy efficiency. D. Short equipment lifespan. 22. Why is the Charleston church mentioned? A. To show the film's durability. B. To demonstrate heritage application. C. To compare installation costs. D. To criticize preservation rules. 23. What does the author suggest about SolarSkin's future? A. It will replace all traditional panels. B. Production capacity will catch up with demand. C. It will remain a niche product for historic buildings. D. Government support is uncertain. B Dozens of sea turtles washed ashore on Cape Cod this September, not dead but frozen—temporarily paralyzed by cold water temperatures. This phenomenon, called "cold stunning," occurs when water drops below 50°F (10°C), causing turtles to lose ability to swim or eat. For sea turtles born in warmer southern waters, Cape Cod's autumn is a deadly trap. The Turtle Rescue League has developed an unexpected solution: slowly warming turtles using humidifiers originally designed for reptile eggs. "Sudden warming kills them—organ failure from temperature shock," explains founder Dr. Emma Green. "We raise water temperature by exactly 2°F per hour, matching natural warming rates." The process takes 36-48 hours, after which healthy turtles fly on private planes to Florida and Georgia for release. This year's rescue season broke records. By October 15, volunteers had saved 427 turtles—more than all of 2024. "Climate change is shifting currents, pushing turtles further north into dangerous waters," Green notes. "We're rescuing more because more are stranding." Each rescue costs $500-1,000, funded largely through donations. Local fishermen now report cold-stunned turtles instead of discarding them, thanks to outreach programs. But success depends on speed. A turtle's window for rescue is just 72 hours before organ damage becomes permanent. The league uses a smartphone app where volunteers upload photos, and AI identifies species and estimates survival probability within seconds. "We cut triage time from 20 minutes to 30 seconds," says tech lead Alex Rivera. "When every hour counts, that's the difference between life and death." Looking ahead, the league is building the nation's first cold-stunning hospital in Boston, with capacity for 1,000 turtles simultaneously. "We can't stop climate change alone," Green says. "But we can build a safety net for the creatures already feeling its effects." 24. What causes cold stunning in sea turtles? A. Lack of food. B. Low water temperatures. C. Bacterial infections. D. Predator attacks. 25. Why are humidifiers used in turtle rescue? A. To prevent bacterial growth. B. To ensure gradual warming. C. To mimic ocean currents. D. To reduce rescue costs. 26. How has technology improved the rescue process? A. Automated turtle feeding. B. Faster species identification. C. Remote release tracking. D. Reduced volunteer needs. 27. What can be inferred about the future of turtle rescues? A. Rescues will become unnecessary. B. Specialized facilities are being developed. C. Volunteers are no longer needed. D. The program will expand to other countries. C The world's first 3D-printed school opened in rural Malawi this June, its walls built by a robotic arm that extrudes concrete like icing on a cake. Built in just 18 hours, the building costs $10,000—half the price of traditional construction—and withstands earthquakes and floods that regularly destroy local schools. The technology comes from 14Trees, a joint venture between British developer CDC Group and Swiss cement giant LafargeHolcim. Their printer, transported in shipping containers, uses a special mortar that dries within minutes, allowing layer-by-layer construction without formwork. "Conventional building here requires transporting bricks on dirt roads—$3,000 per classroom just for logistics," explains project manager Francois Perrot. "Our printer uses locally available materials, reducing supply chain constraints." Early results are promising. The school's first 50 students previously studied under a tree. Now they have a ventilated, well-lit classroom with desks and solar-powered tablets. Attendance has doubled, and test scores rose 40% within three months. "My daughter never liked math before," says parent Grace Banda. "Now she comes home teaching me fractions." Challenges highlight technology's limits. The printer requires stable electricity—a rarity in rural Malawi, where blackouts occur daily. 14Trees added solar panels and battery storage, increasing project costs by $4,000. Additionally, the printer cannot install windows or roofing, requiring skilled workers for finishing work. "Robots build shells; humans make schools," Perrot acknowledges. The Malawian government has ordered 50 more schools, and neighboring countries are negotiating similar projects. UNICEF estimates sub-Saharan Africa needs 2 million new classrooms by 2030 to meet education goals. "Traditional construction can't scale that fast," says education specialist Dr. Fatima Ahmed. "Automation isn't optional—it's necessary." 14Trees is adapting its printer for homes, clinics, and even low-cost housing. "We started with schools," Perrot says, "because every child deserves four walls and a roof before learning can happen." 28. What is the main advantage of 3D-printed schools in Malawi? A. Superior design flexibility. B. Lower cost and faster construction. C. Better earthquake resistance. D. Reduced teacher requirements. 29. What challenge did the printing project face in Malawi? A. Lack of local building materials. B. Unreliable electricity supply. C. Shortage of skilled workers. D. Government regulations. 30. Why does the author include the student math performance data? A. To prove educational effectiveness. B. To compare teaching methods. C. To criticize traditional schools. D. To promote tablet computers. 31. What does Dr. Ahmed imply about traditional construction methods? A. They are more cost-effective. B. They cannot meet regional demand. C. They produce higher quality buildings. D. They require less maintenance. D Every evening, residents of the Swedish city of Västerås hear something unusual: music played from pipes beneath their streets. The sound isn't performance art—it's sewage. The city's new wastewater treatment plant uses ultrasonic vibrations to break down waste while generating melodic frequencies as a harmless byproduct. "The sounds help us monitor treatment efficiency," explains plant engineer Karin Lundqvist. "Cleaner water produces clearer tones." The system, developed by Swedish clean-tech company AquaMelodi, reduces energy use by 30% compared to traditional aeration methods while cutting chemical additives by 50%. Twelve other European cities have installed prototypes since Västerås launched in 2024. The accidental music has unexpected benefits. Local insomnia patients report sleeping better after the city began live-streaming the sewage symphony. "It's repetitive, low-frequency, completely non-threatening," says sleep specialist Dr. Hans Nilsson. "Patients call it 'industrial white noise.'" The city's tourism board now offers "Midnight Sewer Concerts" – sold-out events where visitors listen from street-level grates. Critics note that not everyone appreciates 24/7 sewage melodies. Complaints from shift workers led the city to lower volume between 11 PM and 6 AM. "Most residents forget it's there after a week," Lundqvist says. "Your brain learns to filter it, like traffic noise." AquaMelodi is developing applications beyond sewage. Agriculture sensors using similar principles could alert farmers to crop dehydration through sound changes. "We accidentally discovered that people find our monitoring system calming," says CEO Sofia Berg. "Now we're exploring whether pleasant soundscapes could encourage water conservation—imagine a shower that plays music only when you use less water." The company has received inquiries from Japan, where researchers hope to mask industrial noise with generated frequencies. "One person's waste is another's art," Berg laughs. "We never planned to enter the music industry. But here we are." 32. What is the primary function of the Västerås sewage system? A. Music production. B. Waste treatment monitoring. C. Tourist attraction. D. Sleep therapy. 33. How does the system benefit insomnia patients? A. It eliminates all nighttime noise. B. It produces calming low-frequency sounds. C. It reduces sewage odors. D. It plays classical music at bedtime. 34. What unintended application might the technology have? A. Art installation creation. B. Agricultural monitoring. C. Earthquake detection. D. Traffic management. 35. What is the author's attitude toward this technology? A. Skeptical. B. Neutral yet interested. C. Strongly critical. D. Dismissive. 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。 Bear sightings are increasing as human development expands into wildlife habitat. Knowing proper responses can save your life. Here's what experts recommend for North American black bears and grizzlies. First, prevention is key. Make noise while hiking—talk, sing, or attach a bell to your pack. 36 Store food and scented items in bear-proof containers or hung 10 feet high between trees. If you spot a bear at a distance, do not approach. 37 Speak calmly to identify yourself as human. Most bears will leave once they detect you. For close encounters, response depends on species. With black bears (common in eastern forests), never play dead. 38 Make yourself look larger by raising arms or opening jacket. Use bear spray if available. Fight back aggressively, aiming for eyes and nose. With grizzlies (western mountains), rules differ. 39 Play dead by lying flat on stomach, hands clasped behind neck. Spread legs to make rolling harder. Remain still until bear leaves—typically 2-3 minutes. Fighting a grizzly usually escalates aggression. Never run from either species. Running triggers chase response, and bears can sprint 35 mph—faster than Olympic athletes. 40 After any encounter, report to local wildlife agencies. They track bear activity to prevent future incidents. A. Back away slowly while facing the bear. B. Instead, make noise and wave your arms slowly. C. Black bears are excellent tree climbers at any age. D. If attacked by a grizzly and contact occurs, do not fight back. E. Carrying bear spray in a holster on your belt is strongly advised. F. Most bear attacks occur when humans surprise bears at close range. G. Climbing a tree is useless against black bears but effective for grizzlies. 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和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When Malala Yousafzai walked into the Birmingham classroom on her first day of school in 2013, she carried more than a backpack. She carried the ___41___ of being the youngest Nobel Peace Prize nominee, the ___42___ of a Taliban bullet, and the hopes of millions of girls denied education worldwide. But her new classmates saw something else: a teenager in a new country, struggling with English idioms and cafeteria food. "I couldn't ___43___ 'spaghetti' on my first try," Malala later joked. "I asked for 'string with tomato sauce'." Those early struggles ___44___ an important lesson: courage isn't just about facing enemies—it's about being ___45___ enough to laugh at yourself when you order the wrong food.

Yet she remains remarkably ___47___. When asked about her greatest achievement, she doesn't mention the Nobel Prize (which she won in 2014 at 17). "It's watching Safa, a Syrian refugee in our program, become her village's first female ___48___," she says. "Every girl we support who becomes a teacher or doctor—that's a million times more ___49___ than any trophy." The Malala Fund's approach has shifted from awareness to ___50___. Instead of just documenting barriers, they now lobby governments, directly fund grassroots organizations, and publish annual reports carding countries on girls' education. "We learned that speeches don't build schools," Malala explains. "Budgets do. And budgets follow ___51___." Her most controversial stance? Working with the Taliban. In 2023, her team negotiated safe passage for 5,000 Afghan girls to attend secret schools. "I will never ___52___ the Taliban's ideology," she states. "But I will negotiate with anyone to get a girl a math textbook. Moral purity doesn't feed minds." When asked what keeps her going after death threats and assassination attempts, Malala ___53___. "My father always says: 'Malala, you were named after a heroic Afghan girl who inspired her people.' But I think about the ___54___ Malala—the one who won't exist if I give up.

But the Indigenous pilots flying above it see ___56___ (difference). "That area was dense forest last year," says Kaya Tupã, 31, pointing to a brown patch. "Now it's a cattle ranch." Tupã is one of 22 Indigenous pilots trained by the Amazon Conservation Team, ___57___ program launched in 2021 to monitor deforestation from the air. Flying lightweight aircraft at low altitudes, they document illegal mining, logging, and fires that satellites often miss ___58___ cloud cover. "Technology is powerful, but it doesn't understand the forest like we do," Tupã explains. "I know ___59___ every stream should be because my grandparents fished there." The data they collect has transformed enforcement. In 2024, Indigenous-piloted flights identified 847 illegal sites, ___60___ (lead) to $50 million in fines and 312 arrests—three times the previous year's numbers. "Their observations provide legal-grade evidence," says federal prosecutor Carla Mendes. "Judges trust pilots ___61___ can describe exactly which tree species were cut." Training Indigenous pilots faced skepticism. Critics argued that ___62___ (tradition) communities lacked technical aptitude. But program graduates boast a 98% safety record—higher than commercial averages. "We've flown for generations using stars and river currents," Tupã notes. "Adding an altimeter isn't difficult." The program now ___63___ (expand) to Indonesia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, adapting aircraft for monsoon conditions and mountain terrain. Meanwhile, Tupã trains her 16-year-old cousin as a co-pilot. "When I started, people asked: 'Why does a woman need to fly?'" she recalls. "Now they ask: 'When can you fly over my land?'" She ___64___ (recent) returned from a UN summit, where she addressed 3,000 delegates—in her native language, with earpieces providing translation. "The forest has no borders," she told them. "And neither do ___65___ (we) right to protect it." 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，你的英国笔友Tom来信说他对中国的"数字人民币"(e-CNY)很感兴趣，想了解它的使用情况。请你给他写一封回信，内容包括： 1. 数字人民币的基本特点（法定货币、无需网络支付）； 2. 你或身边人的使用体验； 3. 邀请他来中国体验。 注意：1. 词数80左右；2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Tom, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 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。 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置写出。 Fifteen-year-old Aisha from Mumbai had never seen a computer until her school received 20 donated laptops last year. But within six months, she'd taught herself Python programming using free online tutorials watched on her phone. Now she's built an app that helps illiterate farmers in her village check crop prices—without needing to read. The idea came while watching her grandfather, a rice farmer, get cheated by a middleman yet again. "He paid Grandpa 300 rupees for rice worth 500," Aisha explains. "Grandpa couldn't read the price board, so he trusted whatever the man said." Aisha's app, called Kisan Saathi (Farmer's Friend), uses voice commands in Hindi and Marathi. Farmers speak the name of their crop, and the app responds with current market prices from government databases, spoken aloud. No typing, no reading required. A simple green icon indicates "good price," red means "wait to sell." She built it using free Google Colab notebooks while riding the bus to school, debugging code on her phone's notes app. "People think coding needs expensive computers," Aisha says. "It needs patience and internet. Everything else, you find a way." When she presented Kisan Saathi at her school's science fair, teachers were stunned—not just by the app, but by her story. "Aisha failed English last semester because she missed class to care for her sick mother," says principal Mrs. Desai. "We saw her as a struggling student. She saw herself as a problem-solver." Word spread. A local journalist wrote a story about "the 15-year-old coding for farmers." Within a week, Aisha received emails from NGOs, tech companies, and even the Ministry of Agriculture. Paragraph 1: The most unexpected email came from Microsoft's India office. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Aisha's story inspired a movement among Mumbai's street children. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力原文及答案 听力原文 Text 1 M: It's raining so hard.

It's China's digital currency, legally equal to cash but with cool advantages. You can pay without internet—just tap your phones together. Even my grandma uses it at the vegetable market! I use e-CNY daily for coffee and bus rides. No ads, no service fees, and it works even when my mobile data fails. The government gives red envelopes with small amounts sometimes—like finding free money! Why not visit China next summer? I'll show you how we pay with a phone wave. Let me know your plans! Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） Paragraph 1: The most unexpected email came from Microsoft's India office. They offered Aisha an all-expenses-paid internship in Bangalore, plus a mentor to help scale Kisan Saathi nationwide. "We need more problem-solvers like you," the email read. Aisha read it three times before showing her grandfather. He traced his fingers over the screen, unable to read but understanding completely. "You fly," he said. "I'll water the rice." Within a month, Aisha had added seven more languages to the app, including sign language animations for deaf farmers. Microsoft also donated 100 refurbished phones to her village. Paragraph 2: Aisha's story inspired a movement among Mumbai's street children. A group called "Code for Chai" formed—formerly homeless kids learning programming at a tea stall with donated laptops. They built apps for finding shelter during monsoon rains, locating free meal programs, and alerting each other to police roundups. "Aisha showed us that your situation doesn't decide your future," said 13-year-old Raj, now teaching younger kids Python. When Aisha visited their stall, she didn't give a speech. She just opened her laptop and said, "Okay, who wants to learn how to stop middlemen?" Eight hands shot up. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
