Quitting her job as an international trader in Paris, Yang Yuxiao returned to her hometown in Zhejiang province to breathe new life into Linhai paper-cutting. By blending her family’s heritage with contemporary techniques, she ensures this traditional craft not only survives but thrives.
After earning a degree in French and a master’s in trade in France, Yang worked in Paris importing crafts and artworks. Yet after five years, she realized this path wasn’t what she truly wanted. “I often felt like a wanderer in a foreign land. I missed the warmth of home,” she said. “Most importantly, my mother is an intangible cultural heritage bearer. As her only child, it’s up to me to continue this legacy.” In 2016, she returned to Linhai and took over the Zhang Xiujuan Paper Cutting Museum, which was founded by her mother.
Linhai paper-cutting, recognized as part of Zhejiang’s intangible cultural heritage since 2007, was in need of both preservation and innovation. The traditional paper is vulnerable to humidity and fading, which greatly influenced the preservation of the art. To tackle this problem, Yang experimented with new materials like silk and cashmere cotton, securing 13 national patents for her innovations. “Our silk paper-cutting was a breakthrough because we patented the process of using silk instead of paper, giving the material a new meaning,” she said.
Yang has creatively integrated traditional techniques with modern applications, designing patterns for contemporary products such as bags, coasters, earrings and cloud shoulders. She aims to make the art functional and relevant to everyday life. She also launched initiatives to teach Linhai paper-cutting to villagers, providing new income opportunities for them. Over 150 training sessions have been held, with more than 2,000 participants completing the courses. Yang also offers live-streamed classes to international audiences, having taught over 1,000 people from countries like the US, Spain and Hungary.
“In the future, we aim to transform Linhai paper-cutting from mere wall art into something young people appreciate. By integrating it into everyday scenes, we believe it can gain wider recognition,” Yang said.
24. Why did Yang Yuxiao return to her hometown?
A. To escape the loneliness in France.
B. To carry on her mother’s legacy.
C. To expand her importing business.
D. To open a paper-cutting museum.
25. What problem did Yang solve for paper-cutting?
A. Its poor resistance to weather.
B. Its high production cost.
C. Its difficulty in finding materials.
D. Its lack of modern designs.
26. What has Yang done to promote Linhai paper-cutting?
A. She exports related crafts and artworks abroad.
B. She applies it to daily goods and teaches others.
C. She holds exhibitions to show the new techniques.
D. She hires the local villagers to teach paper-cutting.
27. What does Yang’s story show us?
A. Every cloud has a silver lining.
B. East or west, home is the best.
C. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
C
Every year, more than 250 million birds in Europe die from collisions with glass windows, and estimates in the United States run into the hundreds of millions. Birds either don’t see the glass or they see reflections in the glass, such as trees, that make them try to fly through as if it isn’t there. To solve this problem, a new type of glass inspired by a spider has been introduced.
The high-tech glass, called Ornilux, has a web of lines coated on to the surface. Although the lines are invisible to humans, they reflect ultraviolet (UV) light, which can be seen by birds. The glass is based on the web of the common orb weaver spider(圆网蜘蛛), whose silk also contains UV reflective strands.
Independent field testing by Dr. Hans-Willy Ley from the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology tested the glass’s effectiveness. Results showed that 76% of the birds tested avoided the Ornilux panel and flew towards a conventional glass panel, indicating that the birds recognized the Ornilux glass as an obstacle due to its reflective UV coating. These results indicated that Ornilux can help reduce the number of birds killed by collisions with glass surfaces.
In fact, the inspiration for the use of UV-reflective patterns came from how some species of spiders incorporate UV-reflective silk strands into their webs. The reasons for what some scientists refer to as “decorations” include attracting insects and distracting or warning away larger animals, including birds. This is to the spider’s advantage, because if a bird were to fly through the web, the spider would temporarily lose its ability to capture prey.
Due to green building practices that focus mostly on energy efficiency, many architects are incorporating larger and larger expanses of glass to let in natural light to save energy. Additionally, the biggest challenge is that people enjoy the aesthetics(美学) of glass; this will not change. Ornilux offers a clear glass solution to allow the aesthetics we enjoy but the protection the birds require. “We hope more developers and architects start looking at ways to be more bird-friendly with their designs,” said Dr. Hans-Willy Ley.
28. What makes Ornilux glass special to birds?
A. It has a spider-like surface pattern.
B. It contains real spider silk strands.
C. It has colorful lines to attract birds.
D. It reflects UV light visible to birds.
29. How did most birds react to Ornilux glass in the test?
A. They flew toward normal glass.
B. They tried to break through it.
C. They built nests on its surface.
D. They showed no response at all.
30. Why do spiders weave UV-reflective silk into their webs?
A. To attract other spiders to the web.
B. To help them avoid natural enemies.
C. To stop birds from damaging the web.
D. To make the web look more beautiful.
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Glass That Birds Can See
B. The Secret of Spider Silk
C. Green Buildings and Energy
D. Spiderwebs That Save Birds

Agriculture has been the backbone of human civilization for thousands of years. Over the centuries, farming methods have evolved. One promising innovation is AI-powered harvesting robots, which are transforming crop harvesting and improving sustainability. Indeed, the adoption of these robots is driven by several pressing needs. A major driver is the shrinking agricultural workforce — robots work tirelessly, reducing reliance on human labor. Additionally, as global food demand rises, robots help meet this demand more efficiently.
The key to their efficiency and autonomy lies in the sophisticated technology they rely on. They are equipped with advanced sensors and cameras that allow them to “see” and “understand” the crops they are harvesting. The sensors can detect various factors such as the size, color, and ripeness of fruits or vegetables. By analyzing this data in real time, the robots can make informed decisions about when and how to harvest a particular crop, ensuring that only ripe and healthy produce is picked. Behind this, machine learning allows them to improve their decision-making based on the data they collect, while computer vision system enables precise picking, sorting, and packaging without damaging produce.
This foundational technology enables the operation of various types of specialized robots. Fruit harvesters, like strawberry-picking robots, use soft grippers to gently pluck ripe fruit. Other robots are also specifically designed to harvest vegetables or remove weeds. The advantages of deploying such robots are multifaceted. These robots not only increase efficiency, working consistently and at all hours, which improves yields and reduces labor costs, but also enhance crop quality by selecting the best-quality produce.
However, challenges also come along. While the technology offers long-term benefits, the high initial cost can be a barrier for many small and medium-sized farms. Besides, adapting robots to different types of crops and environments is still technologically difficult, and furthermore, robotics and AI require ongoing maintenance and updates.
Despite these hurdles, the future of AI harvesting robots is bright. As technology advances, they will become more efficient, adaptable, and affordable. In the future, we can expect AI-powered robots to play an even larger role in agriculture, helping farmers produce more food with fewer resources.
32. Why are AI harvesting robots being used?
A. To maximize long-term ecological benefits.
B. To meet labor shortages and food demand.
C. To ensure fully sustainable crop production.
D. To diversify the traditional farming methods.
33. How do the robots decide which crop to pick?
A. By analyzing real-time sensor data.
B. By following fixed computer orders.
C. By using camera to locate the crop.
D. By scanning the fields with drones.
34. Which words can be used to describe these robots?
A. Adaptable and cheap. B. Tireless and simple.
C. Reliable but slow. D. Efficient but costly.
35. What is the future trend for these robots?
A. Require no further technological updates.
B. Replace human farm workers completely.
C. Become more cost-efficient and flexible.
D. Save more energy and land resources.

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。
Taking notes is a smart way to remember what we study, but using color-coded notes can make us even smarter and more organized thinkers. ____36____ For example, you might use blue for headings, red for important terms, green for definitions, and yellow for examples.
This method helps your brain quickly recognize, group, and remember important details. It’s not just about making notes look nice — it actually improves learning. Studies show it can improve recall by up to 80%, as our brain remembers colors more easily than plain text. ____37____ It also speeds up understanding, especially in detail-rich subjects like science or history. Later, during revision, color-coded notes help you find key information quickly without reading every line.
To reap these benefits, it’s crucial to apply the method correctly. Often we may be tempted to color-code while making notes in the middle of a lecture. ____38____ It should be done without interrupting the process of getting information from a textbook or during a lecture. Always color-code your notes once you have finished taking down notes.
After taking your main notes, you can begin applying colors systematically. Assign a specific color to each category of information and maintain this pattern throughout your notes. ____39____ Crucially, avoid coloring everything. Overdoing it can create visual clutter. Instead, color and highlight only the points that are important to memorize.
____40____ This approach allows for selective attention so that our brain focuses better. It also helps you gain better marks by aiding memorization and retention. In short, this simple strategy organizes information clearly, making learning faster, less confusing, and more enjoyable.
A. However, this can have the opposite effect.
B. By doing this you will avoid unnecessary confusion.
C. Thus, color-coded notes can greatly boost memory.
D. Different colors may help categorize information better.
E. That’s because we are always in a hurry to perfect our notes.
F. Color-coded notes use different colors to organize information.
G. Color-coding your notes transforms the way you process information.

I was a habitual pessimist, forever assuming the worst cases. As a textbook “helicopter mom,” I checked the backyard for ____41____ dangers, carried an emergency kit to my son’s ball games, and ____42____ all concerts or crowded outings — fearing crushes, fires, or unforeseen disasters. My husband Don ____43____ argued that my overprotection was suffocating (窒息) our son, David, urging me to let him experience normal childhood ____44____ , but I insisted that I was ____45____ safeguarding him.
The significant turning point came on a quiet afternoon when I chanced upon David in his room. He was carefully wrapping his beloved Superman figurine in bubble wrap.

67. 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。
Every school has that kid — the one who sits alone, the one whose name gets whispered. At Oakwood Elementary, that kid was Lucas. He barely spoke. His backpack was faded, his shoes worn. The other kids called him “Shadow”. No one knew much about him, and honestly, no one tried to. But stories have a funny way of unfolding when we least expect them.
One autumn morning, Mrs. Thompson announced Story Time. But before she could start, a cry rang out. “EW! A bug!” shouted one boy, pointing at a trembling monarch butterfly. The class erupted into chaos. Kids scrambled away. The butterfly fluttered desperately against the glass.
Then, without a word, Lucas stood up. He walked to the window, his steps steady, and gently cupped the butterfly in his hands. The room fell silent as he carried it outside, releasing it into the sunlight. When he returned, his cheeks were flushed, but his eyes sparkled — for the first time that anyone could remember.
“How did you know not to hurt its wings?” asked Mia, who had once tossed Lucas’s hat into a puddle.
Lucas hesitated. “My grandma taught me. She… used to raise butterflies.”
The words hung in the air. No one had ever heard Lucas mention family before. Curiosity spread like wildfire. At break, a small group followed Lucas to a rusty gate at the edge of the schoolyard. He pushed it open, revealing a hidden and overgrown garden: milkweed plants, chrysalises( 蝶蛹) swinging like jewels, and dozens of monarchs dancing.
“This is where they rest,” Lucas said softly. “My grandma and I planted it. She said butterflies need friends, too.” He paused, then added, “She told me exactly what to do. ‘Water the milkweed every morning,’ she said. ‘Watch for tiny eggs on the leaves. When you see a caterpillar(毛虫), move it to a fresh plant. Never pull a chrysalis off the branch — let it hang. And when a butterfly first comes out, don’t touch its wings. Just wait. It will fly when it’s ready.’”
The kids listened, wide-eyed. Mia was astonished that Lucas knew so much, and began to feel regret for how she had treated him. “I’m sorry. Can we help with the garden?” she whispered.
Lucas looked at them for a long moment. Then he smiled — a real smile. “Follow me,” he said, turning back toward the garden.
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。
Paragraph 1:
The kids followed Lucas into the garden, curious and a little nervous.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Weeks later, the garden became a different place — and so did Lucas.

M: I don’t think it will snow where we’re going. But to be honest, the worst sort of weather is downpour. So you need a good waterproof coat.
W: Of course.
M: But you don’t need a thick coat. When you’re walking, you get very hot, you sweat a lot, and then as soon as you stop walking, you quickly get cold.
W: So what sort of coat would you recommend taking? A light one?
M: Yeah, a light one is better. And another thing to consider is the kind of T-shirt you wear. Not cotton ones because if cotton gets wet, it takes a long time to dry. Lightweight sports T-shirts are better. They dry fast — plus, they’re a lot lighter to carry in your backpack.
W: OK.

Quitting her job as an international trader in Paris, Yang Yuxiao returned to her hometown in Zhejiang province to breathe new life into Linhai paper-cutting. By blending her family’s heritage with contemporary techniques, she ensures this traditional craft not only survives but thrives.
After earning a degree in French and a master’s in trade in France, Yang worked in Paris importing crafts and artworks. Yet after five years, she realized this path wasn’t what she truly wanted. “I often felt like a wanderer in a foreign land. I missed the warmth of home,” she said. “Most importantly, my mother is an intangible cultural heritage bearer. As her only child, it’s up to me to continue this legacy.” In 2016, she returned to Linhai and took over the Zhang Xiujuan Paper Cutting Museum, which was founded by her mother.
Linhai paper-cutting, recognized as part of Zhejiang’s intangible cultural heritage since 2007, was in need of both preservation and innovation. The traditional paper is vulnerable to humidity and fading, which greatly influenced the preservation of the art. To tackle this problem, Yang experimented with new materials like silk and cashmere cotton, securing 13 national patents for her innovations. “Our silk paper-cutting was a breakthrough because we patented the process of using silk instead of paper, giving the material a new meaning,” she said.
Yang has creatively integrated traditional techniques with modern applications, designing patterns for contemporary products such as bags, coasters, earrings and cloud shoulders. She aims to make the art functional and relevant to everyday life. She also launched initiatives to teach Linhai paper-cutting to villagers, providing new income opportunities for them. Over 150 training sessions have been held, with more than 2,000 participants completing the courses. Yang also offers live-streamed classes to international audiences, having taught over 1,000 people from countries like the US, Spain and Hungary.
“In the future, we aim to transform Linhai paper-cutting from mere wall art into something young people appreciate. By integrating it into everyday scenes, we believe it can gain wider recognition,” Yang said.
24. Why did Yang Yuxiao return to her hometown?
A. To escape the loneliness in France.
B. To carry on her mother’s legacy.
C. To expand her importing business.
D. To open a paper-cutting museum.
25. What problem did Yang solve for paper-cutting?
A. Its poor resistance to weather.
B. Its high production cost.
C. Its difficulty in finding materials.
D. Its lack of modern designs.
26. What has Yang done to promote Linhai paper-cutting?
A. She exports related crafts and artworks abroad.
B. She applies it to daily goods and teaches others.
C. She holds exhibitions to show the new techniques.
D. She hires the local villagers to teach paper-cutting.
27. What does Yang’s story show us?
A. Every cloud has a silver lining.
B. East or west, home is the best.
C. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. B 27. D

细节理解题。根据第二段“Most importantly, my mother is an intangible cultural heritage bearer. As her only child, it’s up to me to continue this legacy. (最重要的是,我的母亲是非物质文化遗产传承人,作为她唯一的孩子,我有责任传承这份遗产)”可知,杨雨潇回到家乡是为了传承母亲的非遗事业。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The traditional paper is vulnerable to humidity and fading, which greatly influenced the preservation of the art. To tackle this problem, Yang experimented with new materials like silk and cashmere cotton (传统纸张易受潮褪色,严重影响了这项技艺的保存。为解决这一问题,杨雨潇尝试了丝绸、羊绒棉等新材料)”可知,她解决了传统剪纸不耐潮湿、易褪色的问题,即抗自然环境影响能力差的问题。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Yang has creatively integrated traditional techniques with modern applications, designing patterns for contemporary products such as bags, coasters, earrings and cloud shoulders. She aims to make the art functional and relevant to everyday life. She also launched initiatives to teach Linhai paper-cutting to villagers (杨雨潇创造性地将传统技艺与现代应用结合,为包、杯垫、耳环、云肩等现代产品设计图案。她旨在使这种艺术具有实用性,并与日常生活相关联。她还发起项目,向村民教授临海剪纸)”可知,她通过将剪纸应用于日用品和教授他人剪纸来推广这项技艺。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。第二段“As her only child, it’s up to me to continue this legacy. (作为她唯一的孩子,我有责任传承这份遗产)”点明了她传承非遗的决心。第三段“To tackle this problem, Yang experimented with new materials like silk and cashmere cotton, securing 13 national patents for her innovations. (为解决这一问题,杨雨潇尝试了丝绸、羊绒棉等新材料,她的创新获得了13项国家专利)”体现了她为解决难题付出的努力。第四段“Over 150 training sessions have been held, with more than 2,000 participants completing the courses. Yang also offers live-streamed classes to international audiences (已举办超过150场培训,超2000名学员完成课程;她还为国际观众提供直播课程)”展现了她为推广技艺付出的行动。由此可知,杨雨潇凭借传承非遗的坚定决心,克服了传统剪纸保存难、受众窄等多重困难,最终让临海剪纸重新焕发生机,这正是“Where there’s a will, there’s a way (有志者事竟成)”的生动体现。

Every year, more than 250 million birds in Europe die from collisions with glass windows, and estimates in the United States run into the hundreds of millions. Birds either don’t see the glass or they see reflections in the glass, such as trees, that make them try to fly through as if it isn’t there. To solve this problem, a new type of glass inspired by a spider has been introduced.
The high-tech glass, called Ornilux, has a web of lines coated on to the surface. Although the lines are invisible to humans, they reflect ultraviolet (UV) light, which can be seen by birds. The glass is based on the web of the common orb weaver spider(圆网蜘蛛), whose silk also contains UV reflective strands.
Independent field testing by Dr. Hans-Willy Ley from the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology tested the glass’s effectiveness. Results showed that 76% of the birds tested avoided the Ornilux panel and flew towards a conventional glass panel, indicating that the birds recognized the Ornilux glass as an obstacle due to its reflective UV coating. These results indicated that Ornilux can help reduce the number of birds killed by collisions with glass surfaces.
In fact, the inspiration for the use of UV-reflective patterns came from how some species of spiders incorporate UV-reflective silk strands into their webs. The reasons for what some scientists refer to as “decorations” include attracting insects and distracting or warning away larger animals, including birds. This is to the spider’s advantage, because if a bird were to fly through the web, the spider would temporarily lose its ability to capture prey.
Due to green building practices that focus mostly on energy efficiency, many architects are incorporating larger and larger expanses of glass to let in natural light to save energy. Additionally, the biggest challenge is that people enjoy the aesthetics(美学) of glass; this will not change. Ornilux offers a clear glass solution to allow the aesthetics we enjoy but the protection the birds require. “We hope more developers and architects start looking at ways to be more bird-friendly with their designs,” said Dr. Hans-Willy Ley.
28. What makes Ornilux glass special to birds?
A. It has a spider-like surface pattern.
B. It contains real spider silk strands.
C. It has colorful lines to attract birds.
D. It reflects UV light visible to birds.
29. How did most birds react to Ornilux glass in the test?
A. They flew toward normal glass.
B. They tried to break through it.
C. They built nests on its surface.
D. They showed no response at all.
30. Why do spiders weave UV-reflective silk into their webs?
A. To attract other spiders to the web.
B. To help them avoid natural enemies.
C. To stop birds from damaging the web.
D. To make the web look more beautiful.
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Glass That Birds Can See
B. The Secret of Spider Silk
C. Green Buildings and Energy
D. Spiderwebs That Save Birds

【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了鸟类撞窗致死的现状、受圆网蜘蛛启发研发的Ornilux防鸟撞玻璃的原理、测试效果、灵感来源,以及该玻璃在兼顾建筑美学与鸟类保护方面的应用前景。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The high-tech glass, called Ornilux, has a web of lines coated on to the surface. Although the lines are invisible to humans, they reflect ultraviolet (UV) light, which can be seen by birds. (这种名为Ornilux的高科技玻璃表面涂有网状线条,虽然这些线条对人类来说是不可见的,但它们能反射鸟类可以看见的紫外线)”可知,Ornilux玻璃对鸟类来说特殊之处在于它能反射鸟类可见的紫外线。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Results showed that 76% of the birds tested avoided the Ornilux panel and flew towards a conventional glass panel (结果显示,76%的受试鸟类避开了Ornilux玻璃面板,飞向了普通玻璃面板)”可知,测试中大多数鸟类飞向了普通玻璃。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“some species of spiders incorporate UV-reflective silk strands into their webs (某些蜘蛛将具有紫外线反射特性的蛛丝线编织进其网中)”及“attracting insects and distracting or warning away larger animals, including birds. This is to the spider’s advantage, because if a bird were to fly through the web, the spider would temporarily lose its ability to capture prey. (吸引昆虫、分散或警告包括鸟类在内的大型动物。这对蜘蛛有利,因为如果一只鸟撞破蛛网,蜘蛛会暂时失去捕食能力)”可知,蜘蛛织入紫外线反射蛛丝是为了阻止鸟类破坏蛛网。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。文章首先提出鸟类撞窗的问题,接着介绍了一种能让鸟类看见的新型玻璃Ornilux,其灵感来自圆网蜘蛛的蛛丝,且测试证明它能有效减少鸟撞事件。全文围绕“能被鸟类看见的玻璃”展开,因此“Glass That Birds Can See (鸟类能看见的玻璃)”最适合作为文章标题。

Agriculture has been the backbone of human civilization for thousands of years. Over the centuries, farming methods have evolved. One promising innovation is AI-powered harvesting robots, which are transforming crop harvesting and improving sustainability. Indeed, the adoption of these robots is driven by several pressing needs. A major driver is the shrinking agricultural workforce — robots work tirelessly, reducing reliance on human labor. Additionally, as global food demand rises, robots help meet this demand more efficiently.
The key to their efficiency and autonomy lies in the sophisticated technology they rely on. They are equipped with advanced sensors and cameras that allow them to “see” and “understand” the crops they are harvesting. The sensors can detect various factors such as the size, color, and ripeness of fruits or vegetables. By analyzing this data in real time, the robots can make informed decisions about when and how to harvest a particular crop, ensuring that only ripe and healthy produce is picked. Behind this, machine learning allows them to improve their decision-making based on the data they collect, while computer vision system enables precise picking, sorting, and packaging without damaging produce.
This foundational technology enables the operation of various types of specialized robots. Fruit harvesters, like strawberry-picking robots, use soft grippers to gently pluck ripe fruit. Other robots are also specifically designed to harvest vegetables or remove weeds. The advantages of deploying such robots are multifaceted. These robots not only increase efficiency, working consistently and at all hours, which improves yields and reduces labor costs, but also enhance crop quality by selecting the best-quality produce.
However, challenges also come along. While the technology offers long-term benefits, the high initial cost can be a barrier for many small and medium-sized farms. Besides, adapting robots to different types of crops and environments is still technologically difficult, and furthermore, robotics and AI require ongoing maintenance and updates.
Despite these hurdles, the future of AI harvesting robots is bright. As technology advances, they will become more efficient, adaptable, and affordable. In the future, we can expect AI-powered robots to play an even larger role in agriculture, helping farmers produce more food with fewer resources.
32. Why are AI harvesting robots being used?
A. To maximize long-term ecological benefits.
B. To meet labor shortages and food demand.
C. To ensure fully sustainable crop production.
D. To diversify the traditional farming methods.
33. How do the robots decide which crop to pick?
A. By analyzing real-time sensor data.
B. By following fixed computer orders.
C. By using camera to locate the crop.
D. By scanning the fields with drones.
34. Which words can be used to describe these robots?
A. Adaptable and cheap. B. Tireless and simple.
C. Reliable but slow. D. Efficient but costly.
35. What is the future trend for these robots?
A. Require no further technological updates.
B. Replace human farm workers completely.
C. Become more cost-efficient and flexible.
D. Save more energy and land resources.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了AI驱动的收割机器人的研发背景、工作原理、技术优势、现存挑战与未来发展趋势,展现了人工智能技术在现代农业中的创新应用。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A major driver is the shrinking agricultural workforce — robots work tirelessly, reducing reliance on human labor. Additionally, as global food demand rises, robots help meet this demand more efficiently. (一个主要的驱动因素是农业劳动力的减少,机器人不知疲倦地工作,从而减少了对人力的依赖。此外,随着全球粮食需求的增长,机器人有助于更高效地满足这一需求)”可知,AI收割机器人被使用的原因是应对劳动力短缺和粮食需求增长。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The sensors can detect various factors such as the size, color, and ripeness of fruits or vegetables. By analyzing this data in real time, the robots can make informed decisions about when and how to harvest a particular crop (传感器可以检测水果或蔬菜的大小、颜色和成熟度等多种因素。通过实时分析这些数据,机器人可以就何时以及如何收割特定作物做出明智的决定)”可知,机器人通过分析传感器的实时数据来决定收割哪株作物。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“These robots not only increase efficiency, working consistently and at all hours, which improves yields and reduces labor costs (这些机器人不仅提高了效率,能全天候稳定工作,提高了产量并降低了劳动力成本)”及第四段“the high initial cost can be a barrier for many small and medium-sized farms (高昂的初始成本可能是许多中小型农场的障碍)”可知,这些机器人效率高但成本昂贵。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“As technology advances, they will become more efficient, adaptable, and affordable. (随着技术的进步,它们将变得更高效、适应性更强、价格更亲民)”可知,这些机器人的未来趋势是变得更具成本效益、更灵活。

67. 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。
Every school has that kid — the one who sits alone, the one whose name gets whispered. At Oakwood Elementary, that kid was Lucas. He barely spoke. His backpack was faded, his shoes worn. The other kids called him “Shadow”. No one knew much about him, and honestly, no one tried to. But stories have a funny way of unfolding when we least expect them.
One autumn morning, Mrs. Thompson announced Story Time. But before she could start, a cry rang out. “EW! A bug!” shouted one boy, pointing at a trembling monarch butterfly. The class erupted into chaos. Kids scrambled away. The butterfly fluttered desperately against the glass.
Then, without a word, Lucas stood up. He walked to the window, his steps steady, and gently cupped the butterfly in his hands. The room fell silent as he carried it outside, releasing it into the sunlight. When he returned, his cheeks were flushed, but his eyes sparkled — for the first time that anyone could remember.
“How did you know not to hurt its wings?” asked Mia, who had once tossed Lucas’s hat into a puddle.
Lucas hesitated. “My grandma taught me. She… used to raise butterflies.”
The words hung in the air. No one had ever heard Lucas mention family before. Curiosity spread like wildfire. At break, a small group followed Lucas to a rusty gate at the edge of the schoolyard. He pushed it open, revealing a hidden and overgrown garden: milkweed plants, chrysalises( 蝶蛹) swinging like jewels, and dozens of monarchs dancing.
“This is where they rest,” Lucas said softly. “My grandma and I planted it. She said butterflies need friends, too.” He paused, then added, “She told me exactly what to do. ‘Water the milkweed every morning,’ she said. ‘Watch for tiny eggs on the leaves. When you see a caterpillar(毛虫), move it to a fresh plant. Never pull a chrysalis off the branch — let it hang. And when a butterfly first comes out, don’t touch its wings. Just wait. It will fly when it’s ready.’”
The kids listened, wide-eyed. Mia was astonished that Lucas knew so much, and began to feel regret for how she had treated him. “I’m sorry. Can we help with the garden?” she whispered.
Lucas looked at them for a long moment. Then he smiled — a real smile. “Follow me,” he said, turning back toward the garden.

【答案】
The kids followed Lucas into the garden, curious and a little nervous. Lucas knelt down and pointed out tiny eggs on the milkweed leaves, explaining how each would grow into a caterpillar. Mia knelt beside him, helping move a caterpillar to a fresh plant as he’d taught. Other kids watered the plants gently, careful not to disturb the chrysalises. The air hummed with quiet excitement; no one called him “Shadow” anymore. For the first time, Lucas talked easily, his voice soft but sure as he shared his grandma’s lessons.
Weeks later, the garden became a different place — and so did Lucas. The overgrown space was now neat and lively, with new milkweed growing tall and more butterflies dancing in the sun. Lucas spoke more in class, often sharing updates about the garden. Mia and the others invited him to sit with them at lunch. What began as a chance encounter with a butterfly had turned Lucas from a quiet shadow into a bright, confident part of their school, proving kindness and shared passion can turn loneliness into belonging.
