M: Welcome to Shanghai. I am your guide. Now I’ll tell you what you’ll do during your trip in Shanghai. This morning, you’ll visit the Shanghai Tower first. It’s the highest landmark of Shanghai. There you can take the fastest elevator in the world, and have a bird’s-eye view of the entire city. You’ll have lunch at a restaurant nearby at noon. After lunch, it’s time to explore the ancient part of Shanghai — Yu Garden. There you can see what an old garden of Shanghai looks like. You can try to find the five dragons there. After supper you’ll be on the Bund. You can walk slowly to look at the old and new buildings on the two sides. The next day, you’ll take a sightseeing bus to Zhujiajiao Water Town. Zhujiajiao Water Town is the nearest water town to Shanghai and it takes about 40 minutes to get there. There you can walk along the bridges and by the river, and relax in a rowing boat. This lovely town will make you forget that you are by a big city. After that, you’ll be taken to the airport.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。科学家尝试发明可以“读懂”人类思想的软件,希望可以帮助因患病而无法说话的人们。
28.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Until now, technologies that have helped speech-impaired people communicate have been too slow to allow a natural conversation.(到目前为止,帮助有语言障碍的人交流的技术速度太慢,无法进行自然的对话)”可知,以前的技术的缺点是它们不能达到自然对话的目的。故选C。
29.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This new way uses brain signals to change a person’s thoughts into text.(这种新方法利用大脑信号将一个人的想法转化为文字)”可知,这个软件通过用脑部信号将人的想法转化为文本以达到帮助病人与其他人沟通的目的。故选A。
30.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Now, the mind-reading software works only for the limited set of sentences on which it was trained. Scientists hope that this early system will help them develop a more powerful one that could understand thoughts in real time to give people their voices back.(现在,这种读心术软件只能对训练它的有限的句子起作用。科学家们希望这个早期的系统能帮助他们开发出一个更强大的系统,可以实时理解人们的想法,让人们重新发声)”可推断,此软件仍有很大的改进空间。故选C。
31.推理判断题。根据全文可知,文章主要介绍了可以“读懂”人类思想的软件,以及软件测试的过程和改善的空间。由此推知,作者对待软件的态度是客观的。故选B。
D
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项名为Pulse-Fi的新型心率监测技术,该技术创新性地利用普通Wi-Fi信号实现非接触式心率监测,具有低成本、易部署、无需佩戴设备等优势,并通过实验验证了其准确性和适用性。
32. C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段开篇对Pulse-Fi技术的介绍,它“outperforms existing methods by being low-cost, easily deployable (易部署的), and free of body-worn devices”(通过低成本、易部署和无身体佩戴设备而优于现有方法),以及第二段引述中明确指出的“monitor heartbeats without contact”(无需接触监测心跳)可知,不接触用户皮肤(即非接触式监测)是该技术明确表述的核心优势之一。故选C。
33. D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段末尾的技术说明:“The team added background noise filtering (过滤) to detect heartbeat-caused signal strength changes, plus a lightweight AI model ... that reads filtered signals for real-time heart rate estimates.”可知,其核心技术在于两个紧密衔接的步骤:首先通过背景噪声过滤对原始Wi-Fi信号进行预处理,以突出心跳引起的有效信号变化;随后,利用一个轻量级AI模型来解读和分析这些已经过过滤的、净化的信号,从而计算出心率。选项D“By using AI to analyze noise-filtered signals”准确地概括了这一核心流程,即“使用AI分析经过噪声过滤的信号”,其中“analyze”一词是对原文“reads ... for real-time heart rate estimates”的精准同义转述。故选D。
34. A 段落大意题。文章第三段主要描述了两个实验的具体开展方式:一是7名志愿者在1-3米处接受监测并与脉搏血氧仪对比结果;二是基于树莓派的Pulse-Fi对100多名不同姿势(行走、原地跑、坐、站)的参与者进行监测。这些内容都属于实验的“过程”范畴。故选A。
35. B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的结果描述:“It remained accurate regardless of body position or distance (up to 10 feet).”(无论身体姿势或距离如何(最远10英尺),它都能保持准确。)可知,测试结果表明该技术在多种身体姿态和一定距离范围内都表现良好,即“在各种不同场景下都能良好运行”。故选B。
36-40FDGBC
本文是一篇说明文。文章通过一位无尾狗主人的疑问引入,探讨了狗是否具有情感以及它们如何表达情感(尤其是快乐)的问题,并最终从生理结构上解释了狗无法像人类一样用面部表情(如微笑)来表达情感的原因。
36. F 空处位于狗主人的直接引语中,且与前后句共同构成一个完整的叙述逻辑。空前句提到“我的狗没有尾巴可以摇来告诉我它是否开心”,空后句是“我想知道我是否没能识别出一些可能实际上是狗的微笑的隐藏信号”。根据语境,空处应填入主人为解答“如何判断狗开心”这一问题所采取的行动,且该行动未能成功,从而引出了后面的疑惑。F项“I have watched his face a lot, but he never seems to smile.(我仔细看了它的脸很多次,但它似乎从不微笑)”恰好描述了主人的观察行为及其结果,与前后文衔接流畅。故选F。
37. D 空位于查尔斯·达尔文的研究发现之后。空前句提到达尔文在论述动物情感时特别以狗为例。根据上下文,空处需要填入一个能够解释为什么达尔文会singled out dogs的句子。D项“That’s because they feel many of us human’ emotions.(这是因为它们能感受到我们人类的许多情感)”直接给出了原因,“they”指代上文提到的“dogs”,与上文衔接紧密,符合语境。故选D。
38. G 空前部分通过总结多位研究者的结论,明确了“狗有情感是科学事实”。随后用“The question is not ...”再次强调了这一点。空后则提出了一个具体问题:“这会像人类的微笑一样,表现为一种面部信号吗?”因此,空处需要填入一个能够转折并引出新焦点的句子,即从“狗是否有情感”转向“狗如何表达情感”。G项“Instead, understanding how dogs show emotions like joy is more important.(相反,理解狗如何表达像快乐这样的情感更为重要)”完美地实现了这一转折,并直接引出了下文关于“微笑”这一具体表达方式的探讨。故选G。
39. B 空处位于段落末尾。空前句详细说明了口鼻部“designed for strength rather than flexibility(为了力量而非灵活性而设计)”。因此,空处需要填入一个与口鼻部的“力量”设计直接相关的结论或结果。B项“Therefore, it can be used as a weapon and a tool.(因此,它可以被用作武器和工具)”正是对前文“为力量设计”这一特点的功能性总结,用“Therefore”进行因果连接,逻辑通顺。故选B。
40. C 空位于段落的开头,且空后句以“As a result”开头,表明空后是空处所陈述内容的结果。空后句具体说明“赋予口鼻部力量的肌肉也限制了狗嘴部的控制和灵活性”。因此,空处需要填入一个能够概括力量与灵活性之间关系的普遍性陈述,从而自然引出这一具体结果。C项“Strength and flexibility often work against each other.(力量与灵活性常常相互制约)”正是这样一个总起句,它点明了力量与灵活性之间存在对立关系,随后用“As a result”引出了这种对立关系在狗嘴部结构上的具体体现。故选C。

Halloween is coming, and seeing everyone plan out their costumes got me thinking back to my childhood and the costumes I wore. As I grew older, I started having mixed feelings about Halloween. I still like Halloween, and always love a full pocket of candy, but it's not the same excitement as when I was a kid. There's just something about being a kid that made it so much better. And for me, that something was coordinated (搭配协调的) family costumes.
It went like this: My parents would pick a theme and have each of us dress accordingly. Most of our Halloween costumes, whether family-themed or solo (单独的), were homemade. Unfortunately, I didn't always appreciate that. In second grade, I broke tradition by wanting to get a store-bought butterfly costume. I really liked that costume; it was fun to wear. But looking back on it now, I loved our homemade costumes so much more because those costumes were memorable and made with love. Being dressed up all together and having that shared experience really strengthened our family connection and made Halloween something to look forward to.
Recalling my experiences, I wondered if other families did the same. I decided to look around on some popular Halloween store websites to see if they had specific collections of family costumes. On Spirit Halloween's website, there was a group and family costume section, so that was a good sign. Also, Party City had a very large collection of family Halloween costumes, which made me even more hopeful. To confirm, I called the local Party City and asked if the staff had observed families buying costumes together. To my delight, the manager said yes! She noticed that families buy themed costumes every year.
Whether it's homemade or store-bought, it's good to know family Halloween costumes aren't dying. Although the days of coordinated family costumes for me have passed, the memories of those fun times will last forever.

Doctors at the University of California, San Francisco, in the US, have developed a piece of software that can read minds. The project, supported by Facebook, hopes to help people who, because of medical conditions, are unable to communicate with others.
Until now, technologies that have helped speech-impaired (语言障碍) people communicate have been too slow to allow a natural conversation. People find these things upsetting to use. This new way uses brain signals to change a person’s thoughts into text. When we want to speak, the brain sends signals to make the lips, jaw and tongue move in the right way to make an understandable sound. By discovering these brain signals, the new software is able to predict what a person want to say quickly enough to hold a conversation.
The brain-reading software was tested on three volunteers who could all speak like healthy people. They were being treated for epilepsy (癫痫). As part of their treatment for epilepsy, each patient had electrodes(电极) placed on to their brain. Edward Chang, whole d the study, used these electrodes to record the signals in the patients’ brains while they listened to a list of questions and answered them.
Chang and his team then built a computer program that learned to match the patients’ brain signals to the words the patients heard and the words the patients spoke. For the questions, the software matched the correct words 76%of the time. For the answers, it matched the correct words 61%of the time.
Now, the mind-reading software works only for the limited set of sentences on which it was trained. Scientists hope that this early system will help them develop a more powerful one that could understand thoughts in real time to give people their voices back. Chang said, “We as scientists should try our best to help people to bring that most important and basic human ability back.”
28.What is the disadvantage of previous technologies?
A.They couldn’t read people’s minds correctly.
B.They couldn’t make communication understandable.
C.They couldn’t serve the purpose of natural conversation.
D.They couldn’t let medical conditions change for the better.
29.How does the software help people?
A.By changing people’s mind into text. B.By sending signals to their lips.
C.By organizing conversations for them. D.By training them how to speak.
30.What can we know about the mind-reading software according to the last paragraph?
A.It has been used on a wide scale.
B.It has restored the basic human ability.
C.It still has plenty of room for improvement.
D.It has enhanced human real-time conversation.
31.What is the attitude of the author towards the mind-reading software?
A.Favorable. B.Objective. C.Intolerant. D.Doubtful.

Today’s Wi-Fi signals mainly transmit (传输) data, but a California team has unlocked a creative new use for heart rate monitoring with Pulse-Fi, a technology that outperforms existing methods by being low-cost, easily deployable (易部署的), and free of body-worn devices. Led by Katia Obraczka, a professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz, Pulse-Fi addresses problems in current solutions. Obraczka notes that continuous heart rate tracking helps spot health issues like stress, dehydration, and cardiac disease, but wearables are uncomfortable and costly. Camera-based contactless tracking, meanwhile, fails in bad lighting and risks privacy.
To solve this, Obraczka worked with her lab’s postdoc Nayan Sanjay Bhatia and high-school intern Pranay Kocheta. “Pulse-Fi uses ordinary Wi-Fi to monitor heartbeats without contact, detecting tiny signal waveform changes caused by heartbeats,” she explained. The team added background noise filtering (过滤) to detect heartbeat-caused signal strength changes, plus a lightweight AI model (runnable on devices like Raspberry Pi) that reads filtered signals for real-time heart rate estimates.
The team tested Pulse-Fi in two experiments, as detailed in a study presented at the August 2025 International Conference on Distributed Computing in Smart Systems and the Internet of Things. First, seven volunteers sat 1–3 meters from two ESP32 microcontrollers running Pulse-Fi, with results compared to pulse oximeters (脉搏血氧仪). Second, Raspberry Pi-based Pulse-Fi monitored over 100 participants in positions like walking, running in place, sitting, and standing.
Results showed Pulse-Fi performed on par with other reference sensors, with an error rate under 1.5 beats per minute — better than many vital-sign technologies. It remained accurate regardless of body position or distance (up to 10 feet). Inspired by this, Obraczka’s team plans to launch a company to commercialize the technology.
32. What may be a strength of Pulse-Fi?
A. It doesn’t rely on Wi-Fi. B. It protects user privacy well.
C. It doesn’t touch users’ skin. D. It treats mental diseases.
33. How does Pulse-Fi improve heartbeat detection?
A. By reading sound wave changes. B. By working with phone cameras.
C. By offering a quieter environment D. By using AI to analyze noise-filtered signals.
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about regarding the experiments?
A. Their processes. B. Their principles. C. Their applications. D. Their participants.
35. What do we know about Pulse-Fi’s test results?
A. It works best when users sit still. B. It functions well in diverse cases.
C. It is less accurate than oximeters. D. It needs more volunteers for tests.

A woman who owned a tailless (无尾的) dog asked me, “My dog doesn’t have a tail to move back and forth to tell me whether he is happy or not. 36 I wonder if I am failing to recognize some hidden signals that might actually be a doggy smile.”
The issue is not whether or not dogs feel emotions. Charles Darwin wrote much about animal emotions and singled out dogs as examples. 37 Nobel Prize winner Konrad Lorenz also observed the broad range of emotions in dogs.
All of these researchers concluded that dogs have most of the same emotions that humans do, including fear, anger, sadness, and joy. The question is not whether dogs experience emotions, since that seems to be a scientifically accepted fact. 38 Would this show up as a facial signal, like the smile of a human?
In fact, there is a limitation on the range of facial expressions produced by dogs. This is because dogs have a muzzle (鼻口部) whose construction is different from that of our mouths. All vertebrate animals (脊椎动物), except humans, have muzzles. Aided by powerful muscles, the muzzle is designed for strength rather than flexibility. 39
40 As a result, the muscles that give strength to the muzzle also limit the control and flexibility of the dog’s mouth area. The reduced flexibility of a dog’s mouth area limits the variety of facial expressions that dogs can make with their mouths.
A. My friends say their pet dogs smile obviously.
B. Therefore, it can be used as a weapon and a tool.
C. Strength and flexibility often work against each other.
D. That’s because they feel many of us human’ emotions.
E. This means a dog’s “smile” is not a sign of friendliness.
F. I have watched his face a lot, but he never seems to smile.
G. Instead, understanding how dogs show emotions like joy is more important.
