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 (通知) 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. 4. 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. D. Children’s poor performance in writing. 5. The boy included a picture in his essay to show _________. A. his great drawing skills B. his desire for a smartphone C. his strong negative emotions D. his insight into online interaction 6. How did Tracy Jenkins feel after reading Jen’s post? A. Guilty. B. Helpless. C. Embarrassed. D. Confused. 7. 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. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了路易斯安那州一位二年级老师通过写作任务发现，许多孩子最不喜欢的发明是智能手机，因为他们觉得父母过度使用手机忽略了与孩子的互动，这引发了关于智能手机成瘾问题的反思。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“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.(路易斯安那州的二年级教师珍·亚当斯·比森在让学生写一种他们不喜欢的、或者希望从未问世过的发明时，就见证了这一点)”、第二段“Jen has 21 students, and she was absolutely heartbroken when she noticed that four of her students shared the same invention: the smartphone. (珍有21名学生，当她注意到她的四名学生都指出了同一个发明——智能手机时，她感到非常痛心)”和第三段“I hate my mom’s phone and I wish she never had one. (我讨厌我妈妈的手机，我希望她从来没有过手机)”可知，珍通过写作任务发现父母过度使用手机的问题。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“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. (这篇作文甚至还附有一张悲伤而愤怒的脸，写着“我讨厌它”，看着一个画着叉的手机)”可知，男孩在作文中附上图片是为了表达他强烈的负面情绪。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“That is so sad. Great reminder for us all to put those phones down and engage with our kids more (这太可悲了。这对我们所有人来说都是一个很好的提醒，放下手机，多陪陪孩子)”可知，特雷西·詹金斯读完珍的帖子后感到内疚和反思。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“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. (然而，有趣的是，父母对孩子沉迷于智能手机和其他智能设备的担忧，反过来也完全成立)”可知，作者在最后一段指出父母担心孩子沉迷手机的同时，孩子也在承受父母沉迷手机带来的影响，旨在呼吁读者反思这一现象。故选D项。 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，前阿片黑素细胞皮质激素) 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.” 8. What does the underlined word “satiety” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Desire. B. Fullness. C. Appetite. D. Delight. 9. 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. 10. 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. 11. 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. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项科学研究发现：人吃饱后仍想吃甜食，并非单纯的习惯，而是有神经学基础——负责产生饱腹感的POMC神经细胞，同时也会激发对糖分的渴望。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Known as pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) nerve cells, they also control feelings of satiety after eating. (这些被称为前阿片黑素细胞皮质激素的神经细胞，也控制着进食后的satiety感)”和最后一段中“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(这些细胞类型对于让人们产生饱腹感的作用是众所周知的，它们还会释放出促使人们产生对糖分渴望的信号，而且这种作用在饱腹状态下尤为明显)”可知，这些细胞让人们产生饱腹感，进而推断satiety表示“饱、饱腹感”。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When the team blocked signals from POMC nerve cells to the PVT, the mice consumed 40 per cent less dessert.(当研究团队阻断了从POMC神经细胞到丘脑室旁核的信号时，老鼠吃的甜点减少了40%)”可知，老鼠实验的发现是：当大脑信号被阻断时，老鼠对糖的渴望降低。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“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. (这些以让人产生饱腹感而闻名的细胞，也会释放引发对糖分食欲的信号，而且它们尤其在吃饱的状态下这样做)”可推知，饱腹感会催生对糖分的渴望。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“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.(即便饱餐一顿之后，大多数人仍能找到吃甜食的空间。现在，对老鼠的研究表明，负责产生饱腹感的神经细胞也与强烈的糖分渴望有关。换句话说，我们对甜食的喜爱似乎有着神经学上的原因)”可知，全文围绕“吃饱后想吃甜食”的现象展开，介绍了其背后的大脑神经机制，解释了为什么人在饱腹状态下仍会想吃糖。故选C。 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 — 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 (幻觉) created by quantum entanglement (纠缠). 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 (静态的), 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.” 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. 12. 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. 13. 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. 14. Which 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. 15. 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 couple of known spacetime theories. D. To illustrate technology of quantum entanglement. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要从量子角度探讨时间的产生与方向。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“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 does not naturally treats time as special — many processes could run backward just as well. (然而，令人惊讶的是，现代物理学很难解释为什么时间会向前移动。爱因斯坦的相对论将时间描述为固定的四维时空的一部分，过去、现在和未来像书中的页面一样共存。量子力学并不自然地把时间视为特殊的——许多过程也可以逆向运行。)”可知，我们对时间的理解因物理学角度不同而有差异。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In a 2024 study, scientists created a model using entangled quantum magnets and a spring. The entire system was static (静态的), yet the spring’s state changed over time relative to the clock, demonstrating how time might arise from entanglement. (在2024年的一项研究中，科学家们使用纠缠的量子磁体和弹簧创建了一个模型。整个系统是静态的，然而，相对于时钟，弹簧的状态随时间而变化，这展示了时间是如何从纠缠中产生的。)”可知，科学家创建这个模型是为了展示时间是如何从纠缠中产生的。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“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.’ (更引人注目的是，Verrucci认为时间的方向可能来自量子测量。每次我们观察现实时，可能性都会坍缩成事实——这是一个单向的过程。‘当你问现在几点时，你就在创造时间，’她说。)”可知，Verrucci认为观察时间有助于创造时间。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“A groundbreaking perspective was proposed in 1983 by scientists Page and Wootters. They proposed that time is an illusion (幻觉) created by quantum entanglement (纠缠). (1983年，科学家Page和Wootters提出了一个开创性的观点。他们提出，时间是由量子纠缠产生的幻觉。)”以及下文内容可知，文章主要探讨了时间是如何从量子纠缠中产生的，因此文章的主要目的是从量子联系的角度探索时间的起源。故选B。 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. ____16____ 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. 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? ____17____ This 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 corner needs to indicate its direction so that people are not surprised. ____18____ There is a psychological factor to consider. People naturally expect more from robots that look like human. ____19____ 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. ____20____ 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. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. B 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文指出人形机器人需要专门安全规则，并从物理风险、定义、交流、心理及全球监管等方面阐述原因与建议。 【16题详解】 由上文“The answer is yes, and for several important reasons.(答案是肯定的，并且有几个重要原因。)”及下文“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.(与按下紧急按钮就能立刻停止的传统工业机器人不同，人形机器人具有“动态稳定性”。这意味着它们需要电力才能保持直立。如果切断电源，它们很可能会摔倒，有可能对附近的工作人员造成严重伤害。)”可知，空格处需总述人形机器人存在独特的人身安全风险。A项“Humanoid robots pose unique physical risks.(人形机器人存在独特的人身风险。)”符合语境，总领全段，与下文危险描述相呼应。故选A项。 【17题详解】 由上文“How should we classify a humanoid robot? Does it need legs? Arms? A head?(我们该如何分类人形机器人？它需要腿、手臂、头吗？)”及下文“This approach would allow safety standards to keep pace with technological innovation without being limited by appearance.(这种方法能让安全标准跟上技术创新，不受外形限制。)”可知，空格处需提出分类建议。G项“Experts suggest dropping the term “humanoid” and focusing on a robot’s abilities instead.(专家建议放弃“人形”一词，转而关注机器人的能力。)”符合语境，该建议与下文“不受外形限制”应。故选G项。 【18题详解】 由上文“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 corner needs to indicate its direction so that people are not surprised. (机器人与人类之间的交互带来了另一个令人担忧的问题。如果机器人要和人类共处同一空间，它们就必须能够清晰地传递自身意图。例如，一台在拐角处行走的机器人需要表明它的行进方向，以免让人们感到意外。)”可知，空格处需强调清晰交流的重要性。B项“Without clear dialogues, accidents will happen.(没有清晰交流，就会发生事故。)”符合语境，承接上文交流话题，逻辑通顺。故选B项。 【19题详解】 由上文“There is a psychological factor to consider. People naturally expect more from robots that look like human.(需要考虑心理因素。人们自然对看起来像人的机器人期望更高。)”可知，空格处需说明由此产生的问题。E项“People may let their guard down, thinking the robots understand more than they do.(人们可能会放松警惕，认为机器人比实际更懂人。)”符合语境，解释了心理层面的安全隐患。故选E项。 【20题详解】 由上文“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.(这些标准有助于企业建立对其产品的信任，并更轻松地在不同国家销售产品，同时也为监管机构制定自身规则提供了明确的指导。)”及下文“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.(正如维森蒂尼所指出的，一项实用的标准必须在相互冲突的利益之间找到平衡，而且“让每个人都同样不满意就足够好了”，因为追求完美的共识根本不现实。)”可知，空格处需指出达成全球统一规则的困难。F项“However, agreeing on global regulations is hard due to different concerns in the field.(然而，因领域内不同考量，达成全球监管共识很难。)”符合语境，承上启下，引出后文现实困境。故选F项。 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 ____21____ in the cozy living room, swapping ambition and frustration stories, the professor ____22____ himself and went to the kitchen. Soon, he returned with a steaming pot of coffee and a tray of various cups. The cups were of all ____23____ — porcelain, glass, clay; some plain and dull, some ____24____ and exquisitely carved; a few inlaid with sparkling crystals. “Help yourselves to the coffee,” the professor said, eyes twinkling with purpose. The students ____25____ and picked up the tray, eager to seize the finest cups, each striving for one that ____26____ the rest. Plain, simple ones were left ____27____ on the tray edge, unworthy of notice. With cups filling with coffee in hand, the professor leaned back and spoke. “I’ve observed something telling,” he said, glancing at their chosen cups. “You all picked out the eye-catching cups, ____28____ the ordinary ones. But the cup itself adds no ____29____ to the coffee. You were so fixed on the container that you barely noticed the coffee’s rich fragrance.” The students fell silent, ____30____ by his words. The professor continued, “Life is coffee; jobs, wealth and status are ____31____. They are tools to ____32____ life, but cannot alter its ____33____. Fixing gaze on ‘cups’ makes you ____34____ missing life’s genuine joy — the quiet fulfillment that ____35____ our souls.” He paused, and then added softly, “The happiest don’t have the best of everything. They simply make the best of what they have.” The students nodded, grasping the lesson hidden in a cup of coffee. 21. A. enthusiastically B. coldly C. cautiously D. awfully 22.

In the warmer months, he likes to have the pipe going in the back yard for hours at a time. Not to mention creating all that mud in our small yard. One night I brainstormed a setup: two small buckets (水桶) connected by a gutter (水槽), 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. 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： 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。 I stared at them, unable to believe what I had just heard. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I drove home with the supplies, I felt something different. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I stared at them, unable to believe what I had just heard. My mind raced, trying to make sense of their generosity. “Why?” I asked, disbelieving. “It’s what we do,” Glen added, “Because you have an autistic son, and we want to help you out.” Glen smiled warmly, while Jesse and Jeff nodded. These were complete strangers, yet they had gone out of their way to help me and my son, without expecting anything in return. I was dumbfounded. My chest tightened with a mix of disbelief and gratitude. With the manager’s permission, they packed all the pieces into my car and told me to come back if I needed help. I kept repeating, “Thank you,” hoping they knew how much this meant. When I drove home with the supplies, I felt something different. The weight of constant worry about bills and mess seemed lighter. My faith in the goodness of people was restored and I felt eager to share that kindness with others. I couldn’t express to them how amazing the whole experience was. It was not just the setup that mattered, but the reminder that even in ordinary moments, small miracles could happen — and they could come from the most unexpected places. I couldn’t wait to build the setup with Roger and see Connor’s face light up, knowing this little stream of water was also a stream of unexpected human kindness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者为患自闭症的儿子设计了一个不浪费水的流水装置，在商店里得到三位员工帮助，他们不仅帮忙规划，还免费提供了所需材料的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我盯着他们，无法相信自己听到的话。”可知，第一段可描写作者对员工们慷慨帮助的惊讶与感激，以及他们如何解释自己的善举。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我带着这些材料开车回家时，我感觉有些不同。”可知，第二段可描写作者带着材料回家时的感受，以及她对人性善良的信念得到恢复，并期待与儿子分享这份意外的善意。 2.续写线索：作者不敢相信——员工们解释原因——作者感激——作者开车回家——作者感觉不同——作者恢复对人性的信念——作者期待与儿子分享 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①微笑：smile/beam/grin ②理解：make sense of/figure out/comprehend ③搭建装置：build the setup/construct the device/assemble the equipment 情绪类 ①震惊：dumbfounded/shocked/astonished ②感激：gratitude/appreciation/thankfulness 【点睛】【高分句型1】I couldn’t express to them how amazing the whole experience was.

But When Driving, These Sunglasses May Save Your Life! Many drivers find themselves temporarily blinded while driving directly into the glare of the sun. Deadly accidents are regularly caused. Yet, motorists struggle on despite being blinded by the sun’s glare. Not all sunglasses are created equal. Protecting your eyes is serious business. With all the fancy fashion frames out there, it can be easy to overlook what really matters — the lenses (镜片). So we did our research and looked to the most advanced technology. Sometimes it does take a NASA rocket scientist. Some ordinary sunglasses can darken useful vision-enhancing light. But now, independent research conducted by scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory brought forth ground-breaking technology to help protect eyesight from the harmful effects of solar radiation light. This superior lens technology was inspired by eagles’ eyes, known for their sharp eyesight. This discovery resulted in what is now known as Eagle Eyes®. The only Sunglass Technology Certified by the Space Foundation for UV and Blue-Light Eye Protection. The Trilenium® lens technology offers triple-filter (三重过滤) polarization to block 99.9% of UVA and UVB — plus the added benefit of blue-light eye protection. The finest optics: And buy one, get one FREE! Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed.

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 (通知) 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. 4. 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. D. Children’s poor performance in writing. 5. The boy included a picture in his essay to show _________. A. his great drawing skills B. his desire for a smartphone C. his strong negative emotions D. his insight into online interaction 6. How did Tracy Jenkins feel after reading Jen’s post? A. Guilty. B. Helpless. C. Embarrassed. D. Confused. 7. 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，前阿片黑素细胞皮质激素) 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.” 8. What does the underlined word “satiety” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Desire. B. Fullness. C. Appetite. D. Delight. 9. 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. 10. 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. 11. 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 — 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 (幻觉) created by quantum entanglement (纠缠). 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 (静态的), 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.” 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. 12. 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. 13. 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. 14. Which viewpoint might Verrucci agree with? A. Hawking radiation generated time. B.

The answer is yes, and for several important reasons. ____16____ 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. 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? ____17____ This 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 corner needs to indicate its direction so that people are not surprised. ____18____ There is a psychological factor to consider. People naturally expect more from robots that look like human. ____19____ 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. ____20____ 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.

In the warmer months, he likes to have the pipe going in the back yard for hours at a time. Not to mention creating all that mud in our small yard. One night I brainstormed a setup: two small buckets (水桶) connected by a gutter (水槽), 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. 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： 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。 I stared at them, unable to believe what I had just heard. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I drove home with the supplies, I felt something different. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
