When we got to China, I began to study Chinese. It was really hard for me to speak Putonghua. For me, it wasn’t the grammar. “I want to buy this book” is pretty straightforward: “我想买这本书”. And I could memorize lots of Chinese characters (hanzi). However, many words sound alike but mean something 1 . Take 2 “jiàn” for example, it always leaves me guessing—the warship (舰) or the arrow (箭), to meet (见) or to build (建)? Then, somewhere along the way, I started talking to people around me in Chinese. I tried to communicate with the women in the markets about how to cook vegetables. Sometimes I talked to taxi drivers about the songs on the radio. Gradually, I could listen to songs and understand the lyrics without 3 . I finally reached the point where I could enjoy living in China without using a dictionary. Now, as our year is up and we pack up to leave, I’m finding my Chinese 4 . I search Baidu maps in Chinese, keep my mobile phone Contacts in Chinese, and send WeChat messages to Chinese friends in Chinese. But mostly, I don’t worry about my performance anymore and enjoy every experience of speaking Chinese. Every language is different. For me, finally, I’ve learned that the key to learning Chinese is 5 living in China. 1．A．different B．difficult C．interesting D．amazing 2．A．a B．the C．its D．/ 3．A．looking them through B．looking them for C．looking them down D．looking them up 4．A．improves B．is improving C．has improved D．will improve 5．A．enjoying B．for enjoying C．to enjoy D．to enjoying 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．D 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文讲述了2022年秋天，作者因丈夫获得在南京教授国际法的机会来到中国，开始学习中文，起初因汉语中大量同音不同义的字词感到困难，后来通过与身边人用中文交流逐渐进步，如今中文水平显著提升，还领悟到学习中文的关键是享受在中国生活的故事。 1．句意：然而，很多单词发音相似，但意思却不同。 different不同的；difficult困难的；interesting有趣的；amazing令人惊讶的。根据后文“Take...‘jiàn’ for example, it always leaves me guessing-the warship (舰) or the arrow (箭), to meet (见) or to build (建)?”可知很多单词发音相似，但意思却不同，故选A。 2．句意：以“jiàn”为例，它总让我困惑——是“舰”，还是“箭”，是“见”，还是“建”？ a不定冠词（修饰辅音音素开头的词）；the定冠词（表特指）；its它的；/零冠词。take+名词+for example“以……为例”，当名词是拼音时，拼音前不加冠词，故选D。 3．句意：渐渐地，我能听歌曲，不用查就能理解歌词了。 looking them through浏览；looking them for表述错误；looking them down轻视；looking them up查阅。根据原文“I finally reached the point where I could enjoy living in China without using a dictionary”可知，不用词典即不用查阅，故选D。 4．句意：现在，一年过去了，我们收拾行李准备离开，我发现我的中文水平已经提高了。 improves提高，一般现在时，第三人称单数；is improving正在提高，现在进行时；has improved已经提高，现在完成时；will improve将要提高，一般将来时。根据原文“Now, as our year is up and we pack up to leave, I’m finding my Chinese...”可知此处描述过去的动作对现在的影响，用现在完成时，故选C。 5．句意：对我来说，最终我明白了学习中文的关键是享受在中国的生活。 enjoying享受，动名词/现在分词；for enjoying为了享受；to enjoy享受，动词不定式；to enjoying介词+动名词。根据原文“the key to learning Chinese is... living in China”可知主语“the key”是抽象名词，且此处强调“应采取的行动”，故用动词不定式作表语。故选C。 B The 2026 Spring Festival Gala, which surprised the whole world, was powered by Doubao AI.

He loved her deeply and wanted more than anything in the world to make her happy. He bought her a fine horse, but she didn’t like to ride. He bought her some beautiful and expensive clothes, but Araminta said that they made her neck uncomfortable. He bought a beautiful palace in the mountains to be their summer home, but Araminta thought the empty stone hall was so cold and she felt lonely. The king was puzzled. He had given his daughter everything that made her happy. “What else could you possibly want?” the king asked his daughter. Araminta didn’t have an answer because she didn’t know herself. One day, while walking near a river alone, Araminta noticed a fishing rod resting on a rock. She hooked a worm onto the line and threw it into the water. She sat on a rock by the river for hours, enjoying the warm sunshine on her skin as she was fishing. When she caught a small fish, she shouted in excitement. Later that day, she asked her father, “Father, would you buy me a fishing rod?” “That’s easy enough,” the king replied. “But I don’t understand,” he said. “How could a fishing rod make you so happy?” Araminta simply smiled. “You don’t have to understand,” she said. “Happiness doesn’t always come from expensive things. Sometimes, it’s the simplest joys that make us truly happy.” 29．Why did the king buy many expensive things for Princess Araminta? A．Because he wanted to show his wealth to others. B．Because he hoped to make his daughter happy. C．Because the princess asked for those expensive things. D．Because those things made the king feel happy. 30．What can we learn about the king? A．He knew exactly what made his daughter happy. B．He was unwilling to buy a fishing rod for the princess. C．He tried his best to make his daughter happy. D．He thought simple things could bring true happiness. 31．What can we learn from the passage? A．It’s not easy for a king to raise a daughter. B．Expensive things can always bring people happiness. C．The princess loved fishing more than anything else. D．True happiness often comes from the simplest joys. 【答案】29．B 30．C 31．D 【导语】本文讲述了一位国王为了让女儿开心，给她买了许多昂贵的礼物，但她都不喜欢。最终，女儿通过一次简单的河边钓鱼体验，找到了真正的幸福，并向父亲揭示了“幸福并非源于昂贵之物，而是来自最简单的乐趣”的道理。 29．第一段揭示原因：“He loved her deeply and wanted more than anything in the world to make her happy”，说明国王深爱女儿，送礼物是希望女儿开心。 30．第二段提到：“He bought her a fine horse...He bought her some beautiful and expensive clothes...He bought a beautiful palace in the mountains to be their summer home”，并结合第三段“He had given his daughter everything that made her happy.”可知，国王先后为公主买马、名贵衣服、山间避暑宫殿，一直努力满足公主、讨她开心，确实已经尽全力。 31．最后一段点明主题：“Happiness doesn’t always come from expensive things. Sometimes, it’s the simplest joys that make us truly happy.”，说明幸福不总是来自昂贵的事物，真正的快乐往往来自最简单的乐趣。 C At this year’s Spring Festival gala, humanoid robots made their unforgettable return. Just like last year, they wowed audiences the moment they appeared on stage. But there was a world of difference between the two years. “Do you still remember? Last year, the robots could only twirl handkerchiefs and dance Yangko ,” said some people online, not being able to hide their excitement. “It’s unreal!” Everyone can see that China has reached the next level in robotics . Here’s what the robots did during the show this year. They performed parkour (跑酷) and martial arts like Drunken Fist (醉拳) and nunchaku (双节棍). They made all kinds of difficult flips (空翻) without a single fall. As they had become much more deft (灵活的) with their fingers, they could also hold weapons such as staffs (棍棒) and nunchakus. A human-sized robot even showed off its sword skills at the end of the performance. “These moves are a perfect starting point for developing future robots,” said an expert after the annual New Year event. How the robots performed as a group was no less amazing. Although they had to move together at high speed, they didn’t fail to keep their formation (队形). It was the first time in the world people had seen anything like this. So, last year was nothing to be ashamed of—it was where it all began. At the end of the day, the progress made in just one year matters more than anything else. It gives people around the world a glimpse into China’s technology power. As Elon Musk puts it, China is already ahead of the rest of the world in robotics. True, humanoid robots are still in the early stages, and still don’t have everyday uses yet. But when you look at what’s happened in such a short time, you’ll surely say, “The future is much closer than I had expected.” 32．Which of the following sentences can be filled in with the underlined word “ashamed”? A．They are ______ to help the elderly clean their houses on weekends. B．He was ______ to take part in the school sports meeting next week. C．She felt ______ of her impolite words to her best friend last night. D．The little girl was ______ to try the new ride because it looked scary. 33．Which of the following statements is true? A．We develop robots because we want them to be the world’s best dancers. B．The development of robotics in China should slow down now. C．Elon Musk thinks China will soon be better than the US in robotics. D．Today’s robots are useful for future development. 34．Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage? A．Robots will never have practical uses. B．We should sell our robots to other countries. C．It’s a certainty that robots will enter our homes in the future. D．Robots should try dancing Yangko again in 2027. 35．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Spring Festival Gala and Its Amazing Performances B．Humanoid Robots: China’s Leap in Robotics Technology C．The Development of Martial Arts in Robotics D．China’s Robot Industry 【答案】32．C 33．D 34．C 35．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了在春节联欢晚会上人形机器人的精彩表演，对比了其与去年表演的巨大进步，展现了中国机器人技术一年来的飞速发展，并指出人形机器人虽仍处初期阶段，但未来应用前景十分可期。 32．文中 “ashamed” 意为 “羞愧的、内疚的”，C选项“She felt ashamed of her impolite words to her best friend last night.”（她为昨晚对最好的朋友说出无礼的话感到羞愧）语境与词义完全匹配。 33．第三段提到专家评价：“These moves are a perfect starting point for developing future robots”，表明如今机器人的表现对未来研发具有重要价值，因此 D选项 “Today’s robots are useful for future development.” 表述正确。 34．文章最后一段指出人形机器人发展迅速，未来比预想中更近，由此可推断 C选项“It’s a certain that robots will enter our homes in the future.”（机器人未来必将进入我们的家庭）符合文意。 35．全文围绕春晚人形机器人展开，重点突出中国机器人技术的飞跃式进步，B选项“Humanoid Robots: China’s Leap in Robotics Technology” 最能概括文章主旨。 D “Roses are red. Violets are blue.” As an English poem tells us, most things we see in the world have a certain color. However, if a red rose shrinks (缩小) to the world of nanometers (纳米), chances are you might see it in orange, yellow, or blue, depending on its size. This incredible phenomenon is due to the quantum effect (量子效应). An element’s properties (性质) are largely determined by how many electrons it has, noted the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. However, when matter shrinks to nanometers, its properties are determined by its size. Based on this effect, Alexei Ekimov from Russia and Louis Brus and Moungi Bawendi from the US received the Nobel Prize in chemistry this year for the discovery and development of quantum dots (量子点), semiconducting nanoparticles (半导体纳米粒子) that are usually 2 to 10 nanometers in size. “Quantum dots have many fascinating and unusual properties. Importantly, they have different colors depending on their size,” said Johan Aqvist, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry. Quantum dots absorb light and then release it at another wavelength (波长). The smaller the dot is, the shorter the wavelength is, resulting in a bluer light. Likewise, the larger it is, the redder the light will be. The research by the three scientists opened up a whole new world for chemistry. The light from quantum dots is pure and bright, providing more convenience and enjoyment in many aspects of our lives. In hospitals, quantum dots are applied to bioimaging (生物成像) and traceable (可追踪的) drug delivery. They can guide doctors when they remove tumors (肿瘤). The dots are much brighter than traditional organic dyes (染料). In our homes, we enjoy pure and dynamic light from TV and computer displays using QLED technology (Q stands for quantum dots). In labs, chemists make use of light from quantum dots to catalyze (催化) chemical reactions. Looking ahead, scientists believe that quantum dots could help in the making of tiny sensors and thinner solar cells, as well as in encrypted (加密的) quantum communication. Quantum dots have been benefiting humankind in many ways. However, our exploration of them is still at an early stage. 36．What determines the color of quantum dots? A．The material they are made of. B．The amount of light they absorb. C．Their sizes. D．The wavelength they emit. 37．Quantum dots absorb light and release it at a different wavelength. Which accurately explains the relationship between quantum dot size and color? A．Smaller dots appear bluer. B．Smaller dots appear redder. C．Larger dots appear bluer. D．Larger dots appear lighter. 38．In what aspects are quantum dots being used in hospitals? a. Biological imaging    b. Write a prescription (开处方) c. Tumor removal    d. Dye usage    e. Drug delivery A．a, b, c B．b, c, e C．a, c, e D．a, d, e 39．According to the article, which of the following statements is correct? A．Three scientists received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for their discovery of quantum effects. B．The applications of quantum dots are achieving great success.

Although it takes great effort, 80% of the world’s people have learned how 46 (read) and write. Literacy (读写能力) makes us understand the world filled with books, websites, text messages, and more. But the world of information is changing. Most of our devices now can talk to us and listen to what we say. You can just tell them what to do. Smart cars ask where you want to go and then give directions. Some apps can also read text aloud or turn speech into text. Could people join today’s world without the ability of reading or writing?

The 55 from a simple phone game to a global industry has been remarkable. 【答案】51．was invented 52．quickly 53．such as 54．competitions 55．journey 【导语】本文介绍了手机游戏的发展历程，从第一款手机游戏《俄罗斯方块》的诞生，到如今手机游戏的多样类型、竞技性以及教育功能，展现了手机游戏从简单娱乐到全球产业的非凡发展。 51．句意：第一款手机游戏《俄罗斯方块》于1984年在一部手机上被发明。根据“The first mobile game, Tetris, ... in 1984”可知，句子为一般过去时的被动语态，表示“被发明”，主语Tetris与invent为被动关系，所以用was invented。 52．句意：有些游戏需要玩家快速思考并在几秒内做出反应。根据“think ... and react in seconds”可知，此处修饰动词think，需用副词，表示“快速地”，quick的副词形式为quickly。 53．句意：像《王者荣耀》和《绝地求生手游》这样的热门游戏吸引了数百万玩家。根据“Popular games ... ‘Honor of Kings’ and ‘PUBG Mobile’”可知，此处表示举例，such as意为“例如、像”，符合语境。 54．句意：有些游戏甚至设有带有高额现金奖励的专业比赛。根据“professional ... with large cash prizes”可知，此处表示“比赛”，competition为可数名词，结合语境应用复数形式competitions。 55．句意：从简单的手机游戏到全球产业的发展历程是非凡的。根据“The ... from a simple phone game to a global industry”可知，此处表示“历程、旅程”，journey意为“历程、旅程”，符合语境。 五、阅读填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分） A) 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在短文后表格中第56-63小题的空格里填入最恰当的单词，回答第64-65小题。将答案填写在答题卡标号为56-65的相应横线上。 注意：第56-63小题每个空格只填1个单词；第64-65小题词数不限。 This is an unusual truth that anyone older than 25 will already know: as life goes on, time seems to speed up. Think back to childhood when holidays seemed to last forever, and you attended school for what felt like decades. Now, consider last year, by contrast, and it probably raced by. As those in their 30s and 40s will know, the effect gets worse with age—and, for people in their 70s, a year can flash by in what seems like days. “Where did the time go?” we wonder.   The best reason is that we can keep the important facts in mind longer when our brains have to process more information. Childhood and young adulthood are full of novelty (新奇)—the first time you rode a bike, had a romance, got a job—but, as we get older, things get more routine (常规). You can test this out by remembering a recent experience of novelty in your life, such as travel. A few years back, I went skiing for the first time, and that four-day trip still feels “long”. But I might have difficulty noticing a four-day period in my ordinary life.   One way that can work things out, then, is easy to see: try lots of new things. Travel more, if you can, and to strange places. Try new hobbies and meet new people—you’ll be using your brain with a lot of efforts, and the result will be a life that feels longer, more meaningful. But small changes work, too: even making a change in the route (路线) you take to the office, reading different kinds of novels or choosing a different place to buy your sandwich at lunchtime will have an influence on your feelings.   But novelty can only go so far. Besides, a fulfilling (令人满意的) life requires routine: you can’t build deep relationships, or rise through the ranks at work, if you always make new friends or get new jobs or even have new husbands or wives. That’s why the Buddhist teacher Shintzen Young suggests another method: learn to meditate (冥想). Even a few minutes a day will get you to have better concentration (专注), and the better you get at concentrating, the more information your brain will take in during any experience, no matter how boring. You need to believe in yourself. You’ll be making your whole life a little more novel (新颖的). You’ll be more present and time will pass less quickly; in fact, you’ll make your life longer--without magic pills or creative medical technology. How to stop time 56 up The problem It is not a common truth to anyone who is 57 25 years old that time seems to go faster as life goes on. The 58 you get, the faster time races by. The 59 of the problem When things become usual in our life, it might be 60 for you to pay attention to them and soon time passes by. So, experiencing something fresh and special can make you 61 things longer. Advice on how to solve the problem It takes you a lot of efforts to use your brain when trying new things, making you feel that your life is longer and 62 more to you. Changing something a little can also make a difference to your feelings. Learning to meditate helps people 63 their concentration and take in more information from boring experiences. Your opinions How can you make your whole life a little more novel? 64 What can you do to make life longer without using magic pills or medical technology? 65 【答案】 56．speeding 57．over 58．older 59．cause 60．difficult 61．remember 62．means 63．improve 64．By experiencing more novelty. (答案合理即可) 65．I can develop a routine and believe in myself. (答案合理即可) 【导语】本文主要介绍了时间流逝很快的原因以及阻止时间快速流逝的方法。 56．第一段提到“as life goes on, time seems to speed up.”可知，本文主要介绍了如何阻止时间加速，stop doing“停止做”，speed up“加速”，此处使用动名词形式speeding。 57．第一段开头提到“This is an unusual truth that anyone older than 25 will already know: as life goes on, time seems to speed up.”可知，这是一个不同寻常的事实，任何超过25岁的人都已经知道：随着生活继续，时间似乎加快了，此处是指超过25岁，over“超过”符合语境。 58．第一段提到“Now consider last year, by contrast, and it probably raced by.”可知，年级越大，时间过得越快，此处是“the+比较级，the+比较级”的结构，old“老的”，空处用比较级older。 59．第二段提到“The best reason is that we can keep the important facts in mind longer when our brains have to process more information.”及表格右栏的内容可知，此处是介绍发生这种情况的“原因”，且与后面的of搭配，应填cause。 60．第二段提到“as we get older, things get more routine (常规). ...But I might have difficulty noticing a four-day period in my ordinary life.”可知，当我们生活中的事情变得平常时，你可能很难注意到它们，那么时间一天天就过去了，be后跟形容词difficult“困难的”，作表语。 61．第二段开头提到“The best reason is that we can keep the important facts in mind longer when our brains have to process more information.”及“You can test this out by remembering a recent experience of novelty in your life, such as travel. A few years back, I went skiing for the first time, and that four-day trip still feels ‘long’.”可知，经历一些新鲜而特别的事情可以让你记住更长的时间，remember“记住”，make sb do sth“让某人做某事”，此处用动词原形remember。 62．第三段提到“Try new hobbies and meet new people—you’ll be using your brain with a lot of efforts, and the result will be a life that feels longer, more meaningful.”可知，当你尝试新事物时，你需要付出很多努力才能使用你的大脑，这让你觉得你的生命更长久，对你来说意义更大，mean“意味着”，动词，主语为your life，谓语动词用第三人称单数means。 63．第四段提到“Even a few minutes a day will get you to have better concentration (专注), and the better you get at concentrating, and the more information your brain will take in during any experience, no matter how boring.”可知，学会冥想可以帮助人们提高注意力，从无聊的经历中吸收更多信息，improve“提高”，help sb do sth“帮助某人做某事”。此处应该用动词原形improve。 64．第三段提到“try lots of new things. Travel more, if you can, and to strange places. Try new hobbies and meet new people—you’ll be using your brain with a lot of efforts, and the result will be a life that feels longer, more meaningful. ”，说明了多尝试新鲜事物可以让生活更有新鲜感。 65．结合原文“充实的生活需要常规+相信自己”的观点，答案合理，贴合文章主旨。 B) 请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为66-75的相应位置上。 The world is getting smarter every day.

A week ago, Sun Community did a survey by talking on the phone. They’ve known about a growing need for students’ free time activities. Now, they put a notice on their website. NOTICE In order to make students’ free-time life more colorful, our community has set up four activities for the students aged from 6 to 18. All the activities are free. If you want to have lunch here, you need to pay 15 yuan for each meal. Activity Time 8:00-9:30 10:00-11:30 13:00-14:30 15:00-16:30 Saturday & Sunday Creative Thinking (Public Classroom) Sports (Sports Center) Volunteering (Sun Square) Amusement (Public Hall) Arrival Information: Bus 628 or Bus 816 to Central Station (Then a 5-minute walk to Sun Community Building) Call 495-3639 Welcome to join us! 26．How did Sun Community find out the needs of students? A．By teaching a lesson. B．By watching news. C．By talking on the phone. D．By asking door-to-door. 27．If John, a 13-year-old boy, arrives at 2:30 p. m. on Saturday, which activity can he join? A．Creative Thinking.B．Sports. C．Volunteering. D．Amusement. 28．This article tells us that________. A．students need to pay 15 yuan if they join in the activities B．students can join the community activities they like at any time C．the four activities can make students’ free-time life more colorful D．students can take Bus No.628 directly to get to Sun Community Building B Once there was a king who had a daughter named Princess Araminta. He loved her deeply and wanted more than anything in the world to make her happy. He bought her a fine horse, but she didn’t like to ride. He bought her some beautiful and expensive clothes, but Araminta said that they made her neck uncomfortable. He bought a beautiful palace in the mountains to be their summer home, but Araminta thought the empty stone hall was so cold and she felt lonely. The king was puzzled. He had given his daughter everything that made her happy. “What else could you possibly want?” the king asked his daughter. Araminta didn’t have an answer because she didn’t know herself. One day, while walking near a river alone, Araminta noticed a fishing rod resting on a rock. She hooked a worm onto the line and threw it into the water. She sat on a rock by the river for hours, enjoying the warm sunshine on her skin as she was fishing. When she caught a small fish, she shouted in excitement. Later that day, she asked her father, “Father, would you buy me a fishing rod?” “That’s easy enough,” the king replied. “But I don’t understand,” he said. “How could a fishing rod make you so happy?” Araminta simply smiled. “You don’t have to understand,” she said. “Happiness doesn’t always come from expensive things. Sometimes, it’s the simplest joys that make us truly happy.” 29．Why did the king buy many expensive things for Princess Araminta? A．Because he wanted to show his wealth to others. B．Because he hoped to make his daughter happy. C．Because the princess asked for those expensive things. D．Because those things made the king feel happy. 30．What can we learn about the king? A．He knew exactly what made his daughter happy. B．He was unwilling to buy a fishing rod for the princess. C．He tried his best to make his daughter happy. D．He thought simple things could bring true happiness. 31．What can we learn from the passage? A．It’s not easy for a king to raise a daughter. B．Expensive things can always bring people happiness. C．The princess loved fishing more than anything else. D．True happiness often comes from the simplest joys. C At this year’s Spring Festival gala, humanoid robots made their unforgettable return. Just like last year, they wowed audiences the moment they appeared on stage. But there was a world of difference between the two years. “Do you still remember? Last year, the robots could only twirl handkerchiefs and dance Yangko ,” said some people online, not being able to hide their excitement. “It’s unreal!” Everyone can see that China has reached the next level in robotics . Here’s what the robots did during the show this year. They performed parkour (跑酷) and martial arts like Drunken Fist (醉拳) and nunchaku (双节棍). They made all kinds of difficult flips (空翻) without a single fall. As they had become much more deft (灵活的) with their fingers, they could also hold weapons such as staffs (棍棒) and nunchakus. A human-sized robot even showed off its sword skills at the end of the performance. “These moves are a perfect starting point for developing future robots,” said an expert after the annual New Year event. How the robots performed as a group was no less amazing. Although they had to move together at high speed, they didn’t fail to keep their formation (队形). It was the first time in the world people had seen anything like this. So, last year was nothing to be ashamed of—it was where it all began. At the end of the day, the progress made in just one year matters more than anything else. It gives people around the world a glimpse into China’s technology power. As Elon Musk puts it, China is already ahead of the rest of the world in robotics. True, humanoid robots are still in the early stages, and still don’t have everyday uses yet. But when you look at what’s happened in such a short time, you’ll surely say, “The future is much closer than I had expected.” 32．Which of the following sentences can be filled in with the underlined word “ashamed”? A．They are ______ to help the elderly clean their houses on weekends. B．He was ______ to take part in the school sports meeting next week. C．She felt ______ of her impolite words to her best friend last night. D．The little girl was ______ to try the new ride because it looked scary. 33．Which of the following statements is true? A．We develop robots because we want them to be the world’s best dancers. B．The development of robotics in China should slow down now. C．Elon Musk thinks China will soon be better than the US in robotics. D．Today’s robots are useful for future development. 34．Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage? A．Robots will never have practical uses. B．We should sell our robots to other countries. C．It’s a certainty that robots will enter our homes in the future. D．Robots should try dancing Yangko again in 2027. 35．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Spring Festival Gala and Its Amazing Performances B．Humanoid Robots: China’s Leap in Robotics Technology C．The Development of Martial Arts in Robotics D．China’s Robot Industry D “Roses are red. Violets are blue.” As an English poem tells us, most things we see in the world have a certain color. However, if a red rose shrinks (缩小) to the world of nanometers (纳米), chances are you might see it in orange, yellow, or blue, depending on its size. This incredible phenomenon is due to the quantum effect (量子效应). An element’s properties (性质) are largely determined by how many electrons it has, noted the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. However, when matter shrinks to nanometers, its properties are determined by its size. Based on this effect, Alexei Ekimov from Russia and Louis Brus and Moungi Bawendi from the US received the Nobel Prize in chemistry this year for the discovery and development of quantum dots (量子点), semiconducting nanoparticles (半导体纳米粒子) that are usually 2 to 10 nanometers in size. “Quantum dots have many fascinating and unusual properties. Importantly, they have different colors depending on their size,” said Johan Aqvist, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry. Quantum dots absorb light and then release it at another wavelength (波长). The smaller the dot is, the shorter the wavelength is, resulting in a bluer light. Likewise, the larger it is, the redder the light will be. The research by the three scientists opened up a whole new world for chemistry. The light from quantum dots is pure and bright, providing more convenience and enjoyment in many aspects of our lives. In hospitals, quantum dots are applied to bioimaging (生物成像) and traceable (可追踪的) drug delivery. They can guide doctors when they remove tumors (肿瘤). The dots are much brighter than traditional organic dyes (染料). In our homes, we enjoy pure and dynamic light from TV and computer displays using QLED technology (Q stands for quantum dots). In labs, chemists make use of light from quantum dots to catalyze (催化) chemical reactions. Looking ahead, scientists believe that quantum dots could help in the making of tiny sensors and thinner solar cells, as well as in encrypted (加密的) quantum communication. Quantum dots have been benefiting humankind in many ways. However, our exploration of them is still at an early stage. 36．What determines the color of quantum dots? A．The material they are made of. B．The amount of light they absorb. C．Their sizes. D．The wavelength they emit. 37．Quantum dots absorb light and release it at a different wavelength. Which accurately explains the relationship between quantum dot size and color? A．Smaller dots appear bluer. B．Smaller dots appear redder. C．Larger dots appear bluer. D．Larger dots appear lighter. 38．In what aspects are quantum dots being used in hospitals? a. Biological imaging    b. Write a prescription (开处方) c. Tumor removal    d. Dye usage    e. Drug delivery A．a, b, c B．b, c, e C．a, c, e D．a, d, e 39．According to the article, which of the following statements is correct? A．Three scientists received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for their discovery of quantum effects. B．The applications of quantum dots are achieving great success. C．Research on quantum dots is still in the early stage. D．The smaller the quantum dot, the longer the wavelength it releases. 40．What’s the main idea of this article? A．Introduction to three scientists who have won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. B．The importance of quantum effect in determining an element’s properties. C．Explored the potential application fields of future quantum dots. D．The discovery and development of quantum dots and their applications in different fields. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共50分） 四、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） A) 请根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使短文意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为41-45的相应横线上。 In ancient China, floods broke out year after year, causing great problems. People’s plants, land, and houses were destroyed (毁坏) again and again. In order to stop the floods, the Emperor Yao decided to find someone to control the water. At first, Da Yu’s father was chosen to do the work, but he failed. Later, Da Yu took the responsibility and 41 (继续) to control the water. Da Yu stood by the Yellow River, watching the water running like wild horses. He understood that he must make good 42 (准备). When everything was ready, the flood control project began. Da Yu, together with the flood control army, worked hard day and night. He was so busy with his work that when he passed by his house, he didn’t even get into it. This happened three times. There was a mountain standing in the way of the water. Da Yu turned himself into a 43 (有力的) dragon, and used his tail to cut the mountain and made a way for the water. After thirteen years of hard work, Da Yu and his people achieved great success in water control. For thousands of years, Da Yu has been 44 (钦佩) as a great hero by the Chinese people. Now, you can see a huge statue (雕像) of Da Yu standing on the top of Mount Mang near Zhengzhou. The statue is facing the Yellow River, as if Da Yu himself is still protecting the people 45 (对抗) the floods. B) 请根据短文意思，用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为46-50的相应横线上。 The abilities of reading and writing don’t come naturally to people. Although it takes great effort, 80% of the world’s people have learned how 46 (read) and write. Literacy (读写能力) makes us understand the world filled with books, websites, text messages, and more. But the world of information is changing. Most of our devices now can talk to us and listen to what we say. You can just tell them what to do. Smart cars ask where you want to go and then give directions. Some apps can also read text aloud or turn speech into text. Could people join today’s world without the ability of reading or writing? In fact, technology 47 (make) it possible already. But these devices aren’t perfect-the apps still make silly 48 (mistake) sometimes. So the scientists developed the system (系统) and it 49 (get) better and better now. But reading and writing are powerful tools. Research has found that when people read, they can remember information 50 (quickly) than when they listen. Learning to read also creates new connections in the brain. C) 请根据短文内容，从下列方框中选择适当的单词或短语，并用其适当形式填空，使短文内容完整正确。 traditional  was invented  quickly  such as  competition  journey Have you ever played a game on your smartphone while waiting for a bus? Mobile gaming has become extremely popular worldwide. The first mobile game, Tetris, 51 in 1984 on a mobile phone. Today, there are millions of games available, from simple puzzle games to complex role-playing games. Some games require players to think 52 and react in seconds. Others encourage creativity and problem-solving. Popular games 53 “Honor of Kings” and “PUBG Mobile” have attracted millions of players. Some games even have professional 54 with large cash prizes. However, mobile gaming isn’t just about entertainment. Some educational games help students learn languages or practice math skills. The 55 from a simple phone game to a global industry has been remarkable. 五、阅读填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分） A) 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在短文后表格中第56-63小题的空格里填入最恰当的单词，回答第64-65小题。将答案填写在答题卡标号为56-65的相应横线上。 注意：第56-63小题每个空格只填1个单词；第64-65小题词数不限。 This is an unusual truth that anyone older than 25 will already know: as life goes on, time seems to speed up. Think back to childhood when holidays seemed to last forever, and you attended school for what felt like decades. Now, consider last year, by contrast, and it probably raced by. As those in their 30s and 40s will know, the effect gets worse with age—and, for people in their 70s, a year can flash by in what seems like days. “Where did the time go?” we wonder.   The best reason is that we can keep the important facts in mind longer when our brains have to process more information. Childhood and young adulthood are full of novelty (新奇)—the first time you rode a bike, had a romance, got a job—but, as we get older, things get more routine (常规). You can test this out by remembering a recent experience of novelty in your life, such as travel. A few years back, I went skiing for the first time, and that four-day trip still feels “long”. But I might have difficulty noticing a four-day period in my ordinary life.   One way that can work things out, then, is easy to see: try lots of new things. Travel more, if you can, and to strange places. Try new hobbies and meet new people—you’ll be using your brain with a lot of efforts, and the result will be a life that feels longer, more meaningful. But small changes work, too: even making a change in the route (路线) you take to the office, reading different kinds of novels or choosing a different place to buy your sandwich at lunchtime will have an influence on your feelings.   But novelty can only go so far. Besides, a fulfilling (令人满意的) life requires routine: you can’t build deep relationships, or rise through the ranks at work, if you always make new friends or get new jobs or even have new husbands or wives. That’s why the Buddhist teacher Shintzen Young suggests another method: learn to meditate (冥想). Even a few minutes a day will get you to have better concentration (专注), and the better you get at concentrating, the more information your brain will take in during any experience, no matter how boring. You need to believe in yourself. You’ll be making your whole life a little more novel (新颖的). You’ll be more present and time will pass less quickly; in fact, you’ll make your life longer--without magic pills or creative medical technology. How to stop time 56 up The problem It is not a common truth to anyone who is 57 25 years old that time seems to go faster as life goes on. The 58 you get, the faster time races by. The 59 of the problem When things become usual in our life, it might be 60 for you to pay attention to them and soon time passes by. So, experiencing something fresh and special can make you 61 things longer. Advice on how to solve the problem It takes you a lot of efforts to use your brain when trying new things, making you feel that your life is longer and 62 more to you. Changing something a little can also make a difference to your feelings. Learning to meditate helps people 63 their concentration and take in more information from boring experiences. Your opinions How can you make your whole life a little more novel? 64 What can you do to make life longer without using magic pills or medical technology? 65 B) 请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为66-75的相应位置上。 The world is getting smarter every day. Have you ever considered how much easier life could be if your home got smart too? A smart home uses connected devices (装置) to help with daily tasks. These devices, controlled by your phone, can be responsible (负责的) for s 66 temperature, lights, and fun. Imagine you’re at a restaurant and can see who is k 67 on your door at home. Many smart homes have smart cameras that let you see and talk to visitors from your phone. Have you ever locked your keys (钥匙) inside? No worries! The smart system can be safe to open the door w 68 a key. When it’s cold outside, you want your home to be warm. Smart thermostats (恒温器) learn your habits and can o 69 you a warm home. For example, if the thermostat knows you usually come home at 5 pm, it will warm up the house just in time for you. Smart lights make homes more fun. With just a button (按钮), you can change your room’s colour to blue, green, or pink! Usually, changing a light takes time and effort, but smart lights let you change brightness or colour q 70 . It’s a great way to create a setting for a movie night! Smart speakers are another part of a smart home. They listen to and f 71 all your instructions. You can say, “Play my favourite song,” or “Remind (提醒) me to finish my homework,” and the smart speaker will do it for you. There are several a 72 of living in a smart home. However, you may be sometimes unhappy with it. A slow Internet connection can be terrible, e 73 when you need things to work fast. Protecting p 74 information is important too. Smart devices can remember when you come and go, so it is n 75 to keep that information safe. As time goes on, people are having smart fridges and ovens (烤箱). Who knows what will be next? The future is bright, and smart homes are just the beginning! 六、书面表达（共1小题；满分15分） 76．2026年春晚舞台上，一群机器人以精彩的表演惊艳了全国观众，展现了人工智能(AI)技术的新突破。如今，AI正悄然改变着我们生活的方方面面。 最近学校英语杂志发起了一个以“Learning and Growing in an AI World”为主题的征文活动。请你投稿写一篇征文，内容包括： 1. 分享一则自己使用人工智能的实际经历(可从图片中选择，或自行补充其他方式)； 2. 谈一谈AI给你的生活带来的改变； 3. 作为青少年，你打算如何应对这些变化。 参考词汇：陪伴 v. accompany；娱乐 n. entertainment 注意： 1. 词数100词左右，标题已给出，不计入总词数； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3. 不得出现真实的人名、校名等相关信息。 Learning and Growing in an AI World _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
