A．Sounds great B．With pleasure C．Not at all D．Think twice 【答案】D 【详解】句意：——我计划搬去上海因为那里的生活条件好。——三思。毕竟那儿的物价不低。 考查情景交际。Sounds great听起来很好；With pleasure乐意效劳；Not at all根本不；Think twice三思。根据“The cost there is not low after all.”可知，推测此处可能会说三思。故选D。 二、完形填空(共12小题;每小题1分，满分12分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Peter kept his eyes on the ground. He felt like there was a heavy weight on his 11 as he walked home alone. It was the worst day of his life. His mind would not stop thinking about what happened only just an hour ago on the school soccer field. How could he have 12 scoring that goal? He had let his whole team down. His stupid mistake made him angry. His team had lost the game because of him. He was really 13 that his coach might kick him off the team. As soon as he walked through the door, his father asked, “What’s wrong, son?” Peter’s 14 were written all over his face. “I lost the game,” Peter replied. Then he went into his room without another 15 . Ten minutes later, Peter heard his father knocking on his bedroom door. He opened the door to let him in. “Look, Peter. I don’t know what happened. But whatever it was, don’t be too hard on yourself.” “I lost the game, Dad. I failed my team. They’ll 16 never let me play again.” “Soccer is about team 17 . You’re not the only reason your team lost. If you have a good team, you should 18 each other. Besides, winning or losing is only half the game. The other half is learning how to 19 with your teammates and learning from your mistakes.” Peter didn’t say anything, but what his father said made him think carefully. The next day, Peter went to soccer practice with 20 rather than fear in his heart. “Hey, guys,” he said to his teammates. “I’m really sorry about yesterday. We were so 21 to winning that game. But I think if we continue to pull together, we’re going to win the next one.” To his surprise and relief, his teammates all nodded in agreement. “Yeah,” they said, “don’t worry about it. It’s never just one person’s fault. We should think about how we can do better next time.” Peter smiled. It made him feel 22 to know that he was on a winning team. 11．A．ears B．hands C．shoulders D．eyes 12．A．finished B．missed C．avoided D．risked 13．A．pleased B．surprised C．excited D．worried 14．A．reports B．feelings C．diaries D．plans 15．A．word B．ball C．book D．thing 16．A．suddenly B．carelessly C．mainly D．probably 17．A．address B．effort C．course D．culture 18．A．support B．fight C．create D．spread 19．A．chat B．begin C．communicate D．play 20．A．courage B．competition C．success D．spirit 21．A．open B．close C．similar D．useful 22．A．bored B．nervous C．lucky D．sleepy 【答案】 11．C 12．B 13．D 14．B 15．A 16．D 17．B 18．A 19．C 20．A 21．B 22．C 【导语】本文讲述Peter因足球比赛失误而自责，父亲和队友的鼓励让他重拾信心。 11．句意：当Peter走回家的时候，感到肩上沉重。 ears耳朵；hands手；shoulders肩膀；eyes眼睛。根据“heavy weight”和“walked home alone”可知，应为“肩膀承受压力”。故选C。 12．句意：他怎能错过那个进球？ finished完成；missed错过；avoided避免；risked冒险。根据“let his whole team down”和“stupid mistake”可知，他未能得分。故选B。 13．句意：他担心教练会开除他。 pleased高兴；surprised惊讶；excited兴奋；worried担心。根据“his coach might kick him off the team”可知，他担心教练开除他。故选D。 14．句意：Peter的情绪全写在脸上。 reports报告；feelings情绪；diaries日记；plans计划。根据“written all over his face”可知，此处指情绪外露。故选B。 15．句意：然后他一句话没说就回房间了。 word话；ball球；book书；thing东西。“without another word”是固定搭配，意为“无言”。故选A。 16．句意：他们可能再也不让我上场。 suddenly突然；carelessly粗心；mainly主要；probably可能。他心里自责，认为“可能”被弃用。故选D。 17．句意：足球关乎团队的努力。 address地址；effort努力；course课程；culture文化。根据“If you have a good team”可知，此处强调团队的努力。故选B。 18．句意：如果你有一个好的团队，你们应该互相支持。 support支持；fight打架；create创造；spread传播。根据“If you have a good team”可知，好的团队，成员要互相支持。故选A。 19．句意：另一半是学会与队友沟通并从错误中学习。 chat闲聊；begin开始；communicate沟通；play玩耍。根据“...with your teammates and learning from your mistakes.”可知，要与队友沟通。故选C。 20．句意：第二天，Peter心中带着勇气而非恐惧去训练。 courage勇气；competition竞争；success成功；spirit精神。此处与“fear”对比，应为“勇气”。故选A。 21．句意：我们离胜利很近。 open开放；close接近；similar相似；useful有用。“close to winning”表示差一点获胜。故选B。 22．句意：他因知道自己在一支会获胜的队伍而觉得幸运。 bored无聊；nervous紧张；lucky幸运；sleepy困倦。根据“to know that he was on a winning team.”可知，在这样的队伍里让他感到“幸运”。故选C。 三、阅读理解（共14小题；每小题2分，满分28分） 阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 A Expressions cover all parts of our life. They may be around your ears every day. You may know a lot of Chinese expressions that describe how you feel. Here are some English ones for your enjoyment. Have Your Heart in Your Mouth This expression means that you’re really afraid or anxious about something. When your heart starts beating so much that you can feel a thumping (怦怦跳) in your throat, it may feel like you “have your heart in your mouth”. Have Butterflies in the Stomach How did butterflies get in your stomach? Well, those really aren’t butterflies in there. It is a way of describing those nervous feelings you might get before a test or a very important decision. These stomach flutters (跳动) are normal and happen to many people. Some people believe having a few butterflies might even help you perform better. Sick as a Dog If you’ve ever been very sick, you may have used this expression. Because dogs eat just about anything they find, they often get sick. So it’s all right to describe someone who’s not feeling well as being “sick as a dog”. Under the Weather When it’s rainy all day outside, how would you feel? This expression comes from the idea that bad weather might hurt a person’s health and mood. 23．Which situation would make you “have your heart in your mouth”? A．You win first prize in a competition. B．You watch a horror movie alone at night. C．You have a big dinner with your family. D．You get a nice gift on your birthday. 24．Someone believes ________ if you “have butterflies in the stomach” before a test. A．you’re sure to fail B．you might do better C．you will forget everything D．you will be sick 25．All expressions discussed in the passage are about ________. A．health B．habits C．weather D．feelings 【答案】23．B 24．B 25．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了四个和情绪感受相关的英语俚语，分别说明了它们的含义与使用场景。 23．第二段提到“This expression means that you’re really afraid or anxious about something. ”，意思是“这种表达的意思是你对某件事感到非常害怕或焦虑” ， 只有B中“晚上一个人看恐怖片”会让人感到害怕，符合这个表达的场景。 24．文中关于“Have Butterflies in the Stomach”提到“Some people believe having a few butterflies might even help you perform better.”和选项B（you might do better）完全对应。 25．文章开头就点明主题“You may know a lot of Chinese expressions that describe how you feel. Here are some English ones for your enjoyment.” 后面介绍的四个表达，分别对应害怕、紧张、生病、身体/心情不适，都和感受/情绪相关，所以是feelings。 B On a freezing December day in Tongxin County, Ningxia, a 4-year-old boy fell through the ice into the icy lake. People were very worried, but no one dared to walk on the broken ice. At that dangerous moment, 13-year-old Li Jiating, a seventh-grade student, stepped forward bravely. “I’m light — I’ll go!” she said. She took a long pipe (管子) from a man nearby and moved slowly to the ice hole. As she reached out to give the pipe to the boy, the ice broke again. Both she and the boy fell into the freezing water. Li Jiating held tightly (紧紧地) onto the pipe until the adults pulled her out, and firefighters soon arrived to save the boy. Wet and cold, Li Jiating quietly rode her bike home. Her father asked about her wet clothes, and she smiled and “lied”: “A water truck got me wet!” Her father learned the truth from her sister that night. “I’m scared and sad, but also proud of her kindness,” he said. The boy’s parents were very thankful. They found the “unknown hero” and visited Li Jiating with gifts and money. Though Li Jiating refused the money, they left fruits and a sheep as thanks. Many honors came to Li Jiating. Her school named her “A Good Youth with Courage and Kindness”. The local government gave her a prize, and the hospital offered her free physical exams for life. Alibaba also gave her 5,000 yuan as a prize. Li Jiating’s story is like a beam (束) of light. We praise her kindness, but we also need to teach teenagers to stay safe while helping others. Let bravery go with wisdom (智慧) — this is the best way to protect their kindness and pass warmth. 26．Why did Li Jiating decide to move on the ice to save the boy? A．She was the strongest person in the crowd. B．She wanted to get money from the boy’s parents. C．She thought her light weight would not break the ice easily. D．She had received professional training about how to save people before. 27．What’s the right order of the following events? ① Li Jiating fell into the water while trying to save the boy. ② The boy’s parents visited Li Jiating with gifts. ③ A 4-year-old boy fell through the ice into the lake. ④ Li Jiating was pulled out of the water by adults. ⑤ Li Jiating’s father learned the truth from his sister. A．①④③⑤② B．③④①⑤② C．①③④②⑤ D．③①④⑤② 28．What can we infer (推断) from the father’s words “I’m scared and sad, but also proud of her kindness.”? A．The father thought his daughter was too careless. B．The father had mixed feelings about his daughter’s act. C．The father only cared about his daughter’s safety. D．The father wanted his daughter to get more honors. 29．Why does the writer say Li Jiating’s story is like “a beam of light”? A．Her story brings warmth to people. B．She saved the boy in the morning. C．Her clothes were as bright as light. D．She used a light to find the boy. 【答案】26．C 27．D 28．B 29．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了宁夏女孩李佳婷在冰窟中勇救落水男孩的故事，展现了她的善良与勇敢。 26．第二段提到李佳婷说“I’m light — I’ll go!”，这表明她认为自己体重轻，不容易踩破冰面，因此决定上前救人。 27．第一段“a 4-year-old boy fell through the ice into the icy lake”对应③排第一；第二段“Both she and the boy fell into the freezing water.”对应①排第二；第三段“Li Jiating held tightly (紧紧地) onto the pipe until the adults pulled her out”对应④排第三；第四段“Her father learned the truth from her sister that night.”对应⑤排第四；第五段“They found the ‘unknown hero’ and visited Li Jiating with gifts and money.”对应②排第五。故正确顺序为③①④⑤②。 28．父亲说“I’m scared and sad, but also proud of her kindness.”，这句话体现了他复杂的心情：既为女儿的安危感到害怕和难过，又为她的善良感到骄傲，说明他对女儿的行为有着复杂的情感。 29．最后一段提到“We praise her kindness, but we also need to teach teenagers to stay safe while helping others.”，将她的故事比作“一束光”，是因为她的善良和勇敢像光一样温暖人心、传递正能量。 C When the first computer was invented in 1946, it really helped humans solve math problems more effectively. But the “amazing machine” had a big problem—it was heavier than a truck and took up a whole hall. Thanks to years of scientists’ efforts, small-sized computers have already been popular. “Smaller in size, greater in power”—that’s what we have always dreamed of. Now scientists are achieving this goal in robots. That’s how the world’s smallest swimming robot was created. Unlike old complex (复杂的) robots, the new robot is smaller than a grain of salt (一粒盐). However, its tiny body has a complete “system”—a brain, a sensor (传感器) and a motor. Making this tiny robot was not an easy task. The first challenge was the power supply. Since it can’t be charged (充电) anytime, scientists decided to use the solar panel (太阳能电池板) which allows the robot to run for months. But most of its body was covered by the panel, leaving little space for the control system. Luckily, researchers developed a super-tiny computer to solve this problem. With it, the robot can be programmed and then move independently. The biggest challenge was making it swim. Its small size can’t get enough driving force from water. To solve this problem, scientists came up with the idea that the robot could create a tiny electric field. The ions (离子) from the field move nearby water molecules (分子), which then push the robot forward. The robot can sense water temperature, and with further study in the future, we may use it for more functions. For scientists, the next step is to enable the robots to communicate with each other. If the robots can share information, they can work together to help humans in more fields. 30．How does the writer introduce the topic “the world’s smallest swimming robot”? A．By giving a talk.B．By showing a picture.C．By asking questions. D．By giving an example. 31．What problem did scientists solve with a super-tiny computer? A．The robot couldn’t get enough driving force. B．The robot couldn’t swim freely in water. C．The panel left little space for the control system. D．The robot could not be charged anytime. 32．What can we learn about the tiny robot from the text? A．It gets power from a super-tiny computer. B．It can communicate with other robots. C．It uses a new way to get enough driving force. D．It runs for hours at most using solar panels. 33．What is the best title of the text? A．A Tiny Swimming Robot with Big Power. B．The History of Tiny Swimming Robots. C．How to Build a Small Solar-Powered Robot. D．The Challenges of Making Small Robots. 【答案】30．D 31．C 32．C 33．A 【导语】本文介绍了世界上最小的游泳机器人，讲述了它的研发背景、面临的挑战及解决方法。 30．原文第1段通过介绍第一台计算机的笨重问题，引出“小型化、高性能”的目标，再举例说明科学家在机器人领域实现了这一目标，从而引入主题。因此作者是通过举例的方式引入话题的。 31．原文第3段提到“But most of its body was covered by the panel, leaving little space for the control system. Luckily, researchers developed a super-tiny computer to solve this problem.”，说明科学家用超微型计算机解决了太阳能电池板占空间大，控制系统没有空间的问题。 32．原文第4段提到“To solve this problem, scientists came up with the idea that the robot could create a tiny electric field. The ions from the field move nearby water molecules, which then push the robot forward.”，说明这个微型机器人采用了一种新的方式来获得足够的驱动力。 33．全文围绕世界上最小的游泳机器人展开，介绍了它的设计、挑战与功能，核心是这个体积微小但功能强大的机器人，因此最佳标题是“A Tiny Swimming Robot with Big Power”。 D When you think of fast animals, cheetahs and falcons may come to mind. But do you know some of the fastest living things on Earth are very small cells? If cells had their own Olympics, who would win the speed game? Manu Prakash, a scientist at Stanford University, says the “competitors” won’t show up ready to compete. “We have to go search in puddles and ponds and in the deep ocean,” he says. His team collected information on the speed of different cells to compare them. So how do these tiny speeders move? Some fast cells jump or slide across water. Others move by waving long, thin parts that look like whips (鞭子), or swim with the help of tiny, hair-like parts. There are also speedy cells that do not move from one place to another but grow bigger or become smaller very quickly, and this makes them special “speed players” too. Take Spirostomum, for example. In Liberia, Prakash saw many white spots in a pond. They were not spread out randomly. He took a sample (样本) and found this single-celled creature. It can shrink (缩小) its body faster than any other eukaryote (真核生物) — a living thing whose cells have a nucleus. Why does it shrink so fast? Prakash says it’s part of how it communicates. “It actually talks to other cells … using sound underwater.” Another amazing cell is Pyrocystis. These algae (水藻) do not swim, but they make a huge journey. Prakash found them deep in the ocean near Hawai’i. They need sunlight to live, but how do they get it? The algae can inflate like a balloon to five times their size and then shrink back down. This allows them to travel about one kilometer up to the sunlit surface. Compared to their size, that is the longest journey on Earth. Prakash has found many super-fast cells in different places. These unusual living things help us learn more about the secret of life. "This planet is full of amazing things," he says. "When we study and compare them, we will find how wonderful life is." 34．Where did Manu Prakash find the fast cells? A．In rivers and cities. B．In space and on other planets. C．In high mountains and forests. D．In puddles, ponds and the deep ocean. 35．What does the word “inflate” in Paragraph 5 most likely mean? A．blow up B．take off C．calm down D．break down 36．What can we learn about the “speed” of cells from the passage? A．It is measured by how fast a cell moves from one place to another. B．It can be understood in different ways, including changes in a cell’s size. C．It mainly depends on a cell’s ability to swim using whips or hair-like parts. D．It has been fully studied by scientists like Manu Prakash around the world. 【答案】34．D 35．A 36．B 【导语】 本文是说明文，介绍了科学家Manu Prakash的研究发现，地球上除猎豹、猎鹰外，部分微小细胞也拥有惊人的“速度”，展现了生命的奇妙多样性。 34．第二段“We have to go search in puddles and ponds and in the deep ocean”，直接说明了Prakash寻找快速细胞的地点。 35．第五段“The algae can inflate like a balloon to five times their size and then shrink back down”，句中“像气球一样变大”直接对应“inflate”的含义，与选项A（blow up 膨胀）意思一致。 36．第三段“There are also speedy cells that do not move from one place to another but grow bigger or become smaller very quickly, and this makes them special 'speed players' too”，说明细胞的“速度”不仅指移动速度，也包括体型快速变化，与选项B表述一致。 四、还原句子(共4小题;每小题1.5分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I am not sure how many books I have reread, but perhaps it is fewer than most people. For me, the pleasure of rereading is a newly discovered one. The source material, though, is of course not. I used to take the same approach (方法) to books as I did to travel; don’t go to the same place twice. Life is too short. 37 Then I realized that the fact that life is short might work the other way around, too: if you know you enjoy something, or somewhere, then why not return? Recently I reread Joseph Heller’s Catch-22. I was inspired (激励) to do so when reminded of how he’d reply when people rudely asked him why he’d never written anything as good: “Who has?” Catch-22 pretty much saved my life when I first read it. 38 I had dropped out of school twice, didn’t leave the house at all and didn’t have a life felt as though I hadn’t laughed in such a long time. 39 It managed to take me out of the dark world, and though its themes are, of course, serious, its cleverness cheered me greatly. I related to its characters who are themselves trapped. I am now planning to reread the kind of books that inspired me in my own writing. I won’t take a break altogether from reading the most recent releases (版本). I love the smell of new books fresh from the printers. 40 A．Catch-22 had me laughing. B．My favourite are secondhand editions. C．There is discomfort in reading recently-released books. D．At that time I was in an extremely bad mood at 17 years old. E．However, I have decided to dip more often into the old ones. F．There is so much to read and so much to see and experience. 【答案】37．F 38．D 39．A 40．E 【导语】本文通过作者读书的经历，表达了虽然喜欢新书的味道，但还是喜欢重读能够激励自己的旧书的观点。 37．根据“I used to take the same approach (方法) to books as I did to travel; don’t go to the same place twice. Life is too short.”说明之前作者对待书籍和对待旅行的态度是一样的，作者不会去同一个地方，不读同一本书，是因为生命太短暂，需要经历的东西太多。选项F“有太多的书要读，太多的东西要看和体验。”承接上文，符合语境。故选F。 38．根据“I had dropped out of school twice, didn’t leave the house at all and didn’t have a life felt as though I hadn’t laughed in such a long time.”可知，这里作者讲述了自己的故事，选项D“当时我17岁，心情非常糟糕。”符合语境。故选D。 39．根据“It managed to take me out of the dark world, and though its themes are, of course, serious, its cleverness cheered me greatly.”可知，本段要介绍一本能够激励作者的书。选项A“《第二十条军规》让我笑了。”符合语境。故选A。 40．根据“I won’t take a break altogether from reading the most recent releases (版本). I love the smell of new books fresh from the printers.”结合“I am now planning to reread the kind of books that inspired me in my own writing.”可推测此处应该表转折，表达“自己还是喜欢重读旧书”。选项E“然而，我决定更频繁地使用旧的。”符合语境。故选E。 五、阅读短文，回答问题。40-42题答案不超过10个单词（共4小题；前3小题每题2分，第4小题3分；满分9分） Worldwide, 8.1 million people are waiting for calls from strangers. Some of them consider themselves introverts (内向的). Some say they hate talking on the phone. But as volunteers for Be My Eyes, they all have a kind heart. Be My Eyes was created in 2015 by Hans Jorgen Wiberg from Denmark. This free app connects blind people with sighted volunteers through video calls for help with everyday tasks. Wiberg used to worry about finding enough volunteers. But today volunteers outnumber blind users by ten to one. It’s not easy for volunteers to get a call. Zhang Yanfei joined Be My Eyes in 2019 but didn’t receive her first call until four years later. Calls go out to many volunteers at the same time. If one doesn’t respond immediately, another volunteer will take the call. He Yanyan, a stage actress, hesitated to join at first. She feared missing calls during rehearsals (排练). After learning that other volunteers would cover missed calls, she signed up at once. She received her first call the very next day. A young man nervously asked, “Can this app really help?” Feeling nervous herself, she realized the man was also new to the platform. She described the objects around him. The caller relaxed and asked if he looked tidy. After she told him that his clothes were spotless, the conversation continued for a few more rounds until the call was suddenly cut off. The volunteer wondered if she had sounded unfriendly. Cao Zhenxiang was also nervous during his first call. After he helped an elderly man check the expiration date (有效期) on his bread, the two thanked each other repeatedly. “I was so nervous that I didn’t even know why I was thanking him,” he said. Now, Cao feels much more confident. He recently helped a blind person cross the street while working on his computer. “It just felt like chatting with a friend,” he said. 41．As a volunteer, when did Zhang Yanfei get her first call? 42．Why did He Yanyan hesitate to join at first? 43．What did Cao Zhenxiang help the caller do during his first call? 44．What can you learn from the volunteers? 【答案】41．Four years after joining./In 2023. 42．Because she feared missing calls during rehearsals. 43．He helped check the expiration date on bread. 44．We can learn that helping others can start with small acts of kindness in daily life. 【导语】本文主要介绍了Be My Eyes这款免费应用程序，它通过视频通话连接盲人和视力正常的志愿者，帮助盲人完成日常任务。文章还讲述了志愿者们的经历和感受。 41．根据“Zhang Yanfei joined Be My Eyes in 2019 but didn’t receive her first call until four years later.”可知，张燕飞2019年加入Be My Eyes，但直到四年后，即2023年才接到第一个电话。故填Four years after joining./In 2023. 42．根据“He Yanyan, a stage actress, hesitated to join at first. She feared missing calls during rehearsals (排练).”可知，是因为她担心在排练期间错过电话。故填Because she feared missing calls during rehearsals. 43．根据“Cao Zhenxiang was also nervous during his first call. After he helped an elderly man check the expiration date (有效期) on his bread, the two thanked each other repeatedly.”可知，他的第一个电话是帮助检查面包的有效期。故填He helped check the expiration date on bread. 44．本题是开放性试题，答案言之有理即可，参考答案为We can learn that helping others can start with small acts of kindness in daily life. 六、综合填空(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Nowadays more and more children seem to get lost in a “sea of digital technology”. To be honest, as they use digital technology too much, they are losing their skills to do simple things. They can’t make toys 45 (they) or help mom cook dinner. And 46 (bad) of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others. “I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the rising number of young students who play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to make things,” 47 (say) a teacher, Colin Kinney. “Many students can’t communicate with other students but their parents are glad to see the skills of their children to use a computer or a smart phone.” Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and 48 (quiet) play on a laptop on weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be 49 very good pianist unless he spends much time practising playing the piano? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older unless he learns to communicate with others 50 a young age? Probably digital technology 51 (use) for good or bad. We can use a stone to either break a window 52 build a house. We shouldn’t blame (谴责) the children. We should help them make right 53 (choice). It is certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today’s world, but what is more important, we should encourage children 54 (develop) social abilities. They are good for children especially while growing up. 【答案】 45．themselves 46．worst 47．said 48．quietly 49．a 50．at 51．is used 52．or 53．choices 54．to develop 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要论述了数字技术对当今儿童的影响，指出过度沉迷数字技术会导致儿童动手能力与社交能力下降，呼吁引导孩子合理使用科技，同时重视社交能力的培养。 45．句意：他们不能自己制作玩具，也不能帮妈妈做饭。原句主语为“They”，此处需用反身代词表示“他们自己”，强调动作由主语亲自完成。 46．句意：最糟糕的是，他们似乎对与他人交流失去了兴趣。固定搭配“worst of all”意为“最糟糕的是”，需用形容词“bad”的最高级形式worst。 47．句意：一位名叫科林·金尼的老师说：“我和许多老师聊过……”。本句为直接引语的倒装结构，主语为“a teacher, Colin Kinney”，引语是过去发生的对话，因此动词“say”需用一般过去时，其过去式为said。 48．句意：越来越多的孩子选择待在室内，在周末和放学后安静地玩笔记本电脑，而不是和其他孩子一起玩耍。此处需用副词修饰动词“play”，表示“安静地玩”，因此形容词“quiet”需变为副词形式“quietly”。 49．句意：一个孩子如果不花大量时间练习弹钢琴，长大后怎么能成为一名优秀的钢琴家呢？ “pianist”为可数名词单数，此处表示“一名优秀的钢琴家”，“very”以辅音音素开头，需用不定冠词“a”修饰。 50．句意：一个孩子如果不在年幼时学会与他人交流，长大后怎么能学会交朋友呢？固定搭配“at a young age”意为“在年轻时”，需用介词“at”。 51．句意：数字技术可能被用于好的方面，也可能被用于坏的方面。主语“digital technology”与动词“use”为被动关系，句子陈述的是一个客观事实，因此需用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为不可数名词，应填“is used”。 52．句意：我们可以用石头要么打破窗户，要么盖房子。固定搭配“either...or...”意为“要么……要么……”，表示二者择一的选择关系，需填or。 53．句意：我们不应该责怪孩子，而应该帮助他们做出正确的选择。固定搭配“make choices”意为“做选择”，“choice”为可数名词，此处表示泛指的多种选择，需用复数形式choices。 54．句意：但更重要的是，我们应该鼓励孩子发展社交能力。 固定搭配“encourage sb. to do sth.”意为“鼓励某人做某事”，因此需用动词不定式形式，即to develop。 七、书面表达(共1题;满分15分) 55．随着人工智能技术快速发展，AI工具（如AI答疑、AI翻译、AI作文助手等）逐渐进入学生的学习生活。有人认为AI能有效帮助学习，也有人担心学生会过度依赖、影响独立思考。请你以“Should Students Use AI in Study?”为题，写一篇短文，谈谈AI工具在学习中的优点和缺点，并说说你认为应该如何正确使用它。 要求： 1. 词数：80-100词，开头已给出，不计入总词数； 2. 文中不能出现自己的姓名和所在学校的名称。 参考信息： Advantages:improve study efficiency (效率) explain knowledge in a clear way solve difficult problems quickly provide useful information finish some boring tasks easily … Disadvantages:copy answers directly stop students from thinking independently (独立) make students lazy depend too much on AI tools influence students’ creativity … Your opinions: think independently first use AI tools wisely … Should Students Use AI in Study?

Different people have different ideas about it. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文： Should Students Use AI in Study? Nowadays, AI is widely used in students’ study. Different people have different ideas about it. AI tools can improve study efficiency. For example, they explain knowledge clearly and solve problems quickly. They also help finish boring tasks like organizing notes. However, some students copy answers directly, which may stop them from thinking independently and make them lazy. In my opinion, we should think independently first .

He felt like there was a heavy weight on his 11 as he walked home alone. It was the worst day of his life. His mind would not stop thinking about what happened only just an hour ago on the school soccer field. How could he have 12 scoring that goal? He had let his whole team down. His stupid mistake made him angry. His team had lost the game because of him. He was really 13 that his coach might kick him off the team. As soon as he walked through the door, his father asked, “What’s wrong, son?” Peter’s 14 were written all over his face. “I lost the game,” Peter replied. Then he went into his room without another 15 . Ten minutes later, Peter heard his father knocking on his bedroom door. He opened the door to let him in. “Look, Peter. I don’t know what happened. But whatever it was, don’t be too hard on yourself.” “I lost the game, Dad. I failed my team. They’ll 16 never let me play again.” “Soccer is about team 17 . You’re not the only reason your team lost. If you have a good team, you should 18 each other. Besides, winning or losing is only half the game. The other half is learning how to 19 with your teammates and learning from your mistakes.” Peter didn’t say anything, but what his father said made him think carefully. The next day, Peter went to soccer practice with 20 rather than fear in his heart. “Hey, guys,” he said to his teammates. “I’m really sorry about yesterday. We were so 21 to winning that game. But I think if we continue to pull together, we’re going to win the next one.” To his surprise and relief, his teammates all nodded in agreement. “Yeah,” they said, “don’t worry about it. It’s never just one person’s fault. We should think about how we can do better next time.” Peter smiled. It made him feel 22 to know that he was on a winning team. 11．A．ears B．hands C．shoulders D．eyes 12．A．finished B．missed C．avoided D．risked 13．A．pleased B．surprised C．excited D．worried 14．A．reports B．feelings C．diaries D．plans 15．A．word B．ball C．book D．thing 16．A．suddenly B．carelessly C．mainly D．probably 17．A．address B．effort C．course D．culture 18．A．support B．fight C．create D．spread 19．A．chat B．begin C．communicate D．play 20．A．courage B．competition C．success D．spirit 21．A．open B．close C．similar D．useful 22．A．bored B．nervous C．lucky D．sleepy 三、阅读理解（共14小题；每小题2分，满分28分） 阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 A Expressions cover all parts of our life. They may be around your ears every day. You may know a lot of Chinese expressions that describe how you feel. Here are some English ones for your enjoyment. Have Your Heart in Your Mouth This expression means that you’re really afraid or anxious about something. When your heart starts beating so much that you can feel a thumping (怦怦跳) in your throat, it may feel like you “have your heart in your mouth”. Have Butterflies in the Stomach How did butterflies get in your stomach? Well, those really aren’t butterflies in there. It is a way of describing those nervous feelings you might get before a test or a very important decision. These stomach flutters (跳动) are normal and happen to many people. Some people believe having a few butterflies might even help you perform better. Sick as a Dog If you’ve ever been very sick, you may have used this expression. Because dogs eat just about anything they find, they often get sick. So it’s all right to describe someone who’s not feeling well as being “sick as a dog”. Under the Weather When it’s rainy all day outside, how would you feel? This expression comes from the idea that bad weather might hurt a person’s health and mood. 23．Which situation would make you “have your heart in your mouth”? A．You win first prize in a competition. B．You watch a horror movie alone at night. C．You have a big dinner with your family. D．You get a nice gift on your birthday. 24．Someone believes ________ if you “have butterflies in the stomach” before a test. A．you’re sure to fail B．you might do better C．you will forget everything D．you will be sick 25．All expressions discussed in the passage are about ________. A．health B．habits C．weather D．feelings B On a freezing December day in Tongxin County, Ningxia, a 4-year-old boy fell through the ice into the icy lake. People were very worried, but no one dared to walk on the broken ice. At that dangerous moment, 13-year-old Li Jiating, a seventh-grade student, stepped forward bravely. “I’m light — I’ll go!” she said. She took a long pipe (管子) from a man nearby and moved slowly to the ice hole. As she reached out to give the pipe to the boy, the ice broke again. Both she and the boy fell into the freezing water. Li Jiating held tightly (紧紧地) onto the pipe until the adults pulled her out, and firefighters soon arrived to save the boy. Wet and cold, Li Jiating quietly rode her bike home. Her father asked about her wet clothes, and she smiled and “lied”: “A water truck got me wet!” Her father learned the truth from her sister that night. “I’m scared and sad, but also proud of her kindness,” he said. The boy’s parents were very thankful. They found the “unknown hero” and visited Li Jiating with gifts and money. Though Li Jiating refused the money, they left fruits and a sheep as thanks. Many honors came to Li Jiating. Her school named her “A Good Youth with Courage and Kindness”. The local government gave her a prize, and the hospital offered her free physical exams for life. Alibaba also gave her 5,000 yuan as a prize. Li Jiating’s story is like a beam (束) of light. We praise her kindness, but we also need to teach teenagers to stay safe while helping others. Let bravery go with wisdom (智慧) — this is the best way to protect their kindness and pass warmth. 26．Why did Li Jiating decide to move on the ice to save the boy? A．She was the strongest person in the crowd. B．She wanted to get money from the boy’s parents. C．She thought her light weight would not break the ice easily. D．She had received professional training about how to save people before. 27．What’s the right order of the following events? ① Li Jiating fell into the water while trying to save the boy. ② The boy’s parents visited Li Jiating with gifts. ③ A 4-year-old boy fell through the ice into the lake. ④ Li Jiating was pulled out of the water by adults. ⑤ Li Jiating’s father learned the truth from his sister. A．①④③⑤② B．③④①⑤② C．①③④②⑤ D．③①④⑤② 28．What can we infer (推断) from the father’s words “I’m scared and sad, but also proud of her kindness.”? A．The father thought his daughter was too careless. B．The father had mixed feelings about his daughter’s act. C．The father only cared about his daughter’s safety. D．The father wanted his daughter to get more honors. 29．Why does the writer say Li Jiating’s story is like “a beam of light”? A．Her story brings warmth to people. B．She saved the boy in the morning. C．Her clothes were as bright as light. D．She used a light to find the boy. C When the first computer was invented in 1946, it really helped humans solve math problems more effectively. But the “amazing machine” had a big problem—it was heavier than a truck and took up a whole hall. Thanks to years of scientists’ efforts, small-sized computers have already been popular. “Smaller in size, greater in power”—that’s what we have always dreamed of. Now scientists are achieving this goal in robots. That’s how the world’s smallest swimming robot was created. Unlike old complex (复杂的) robots, the new robot is smaller than a grain of salt (一粒盐). However, its tiny body has a complete “system”—a brain, a sensor (传感器) and a motor. Making this tiny robot was not an easy task. The first challenge was the power supply. Since it can’t be charged (充电) anytime, scientists decided to use the solar panel (太阳能电池板) which allows the robot to run for months. But most of its body was covered by the panel, leaving little space for the control system. Luckily, researchers developed a super-tiny computer to solve this problem. With it, the robot can be programmed and then move independently. The biggest challenge was making it swim. Its small size can’t get enough driving force from water. To solve this problem, scientists came up with the idea that the robot could create a tiny electric field. The ions (离子) from the field move nearby water molecules (分子), which then push the robot forward. The robot can sense water temperature, and with further study in the future, we may use it for more functions. For scientists, the next step is to enable the robots to communicate with each other. If the robots can share information, they can work together to help humans in more fields. 30．How does the writer introduce the topic “the world’s smallest swimming robot”? A．By giving a talk.B．By showing a picture.C．By asking questions. D．By giving an example. 31．What problem did scientists solve with a super-tiny computer? A．The robot couldn’t get enough driving force. B．The robot couldn’t swim freely in water. C．The panel left little space for the control system. D．The robot could not be charged anytime. 32．What can we learn about the tiny robot from the text? A．It gets power from a super-tiny computer. B．It can communicate with other robots. C．It uses a new way to get enough driving force. D．It runs for hours at most using solar panels. 33．What is the best title of the text? A．A Tiny Swimming Robot with Big Power. B．The History of Tiny Swimming Robots. C．How to Build a Small Solar-Powered Robot. D．The Challenges of Making Small Robots. D When you think of fast animals, cheetahs and falcons may come to mind. But do you know some of the fastest living things on Earth are very small cells? If cells had their own Olympics, who would win the speed game? Manu Prakash, a scientist at Stanford University, says the “competitors” won’t show up ready to compete. “We have to go search in puddles and ponds and in the deep ocean,” he says. His team collected information on the speed of different cells to compare them. So how do these tiny speeders move? Some fast cells jump or slide across water. Others move by waving long, thin parts that look like whips (鞭子), or swim with the help of tiny, hair-like parts. There are also speedy cells that do not move from one place to another but grow bigger or become smaller very quickly, and this makes them special “speed players” too. Take Spirostomum, for example. In Liberia, Prakash saw many white spots in a pond. They were not spread out randomly. He took a sample (样本) and found this single-celled creature. It can shrink (缩小) its body faster than any other eukaryote (真核生物) — a living thing whose cells have a nucleus. Why does it shrink so fast? Prakash says it’s part of how it communicates. “It actually talks to other cells … using sound underwater.” Another amazing cell is Pyrocystis. These algae (水藻) do not swim, but they make a huge journey. Prakash found them deep in the ocean near Hawai’i. They need sunlight to live, but how do they get it? The algae can inflate like a balloon to five times their size and then shrink back down. This allows them to travel about one kilometer up to the sunlit surface. Compared to their size, that is the longest journey on Earth. Prakash has found many super-fast cells in different places. These unusual living things help us learn more about the secret of life. "This planet is full of amazing things," he says. "When we study and compare them, we will find how wonderful life is." 34．Where did Manu Prakash find the fast cells? A．In rivers and cities. B．In space and on other planets. C．In high mountains and forests. D．In puddles, ponds and the deep ocean. 35．What does the word “inflate” in Paragraph 5 most likely mean? A．blow up B．take off C．calm down D．break down 36．What can we learn about the “speed” of cells from the passage? A．It is measured by how fast a cell moves from one place to another. B．It can be understood in different ways, including changes in a cell’s size. C．It mainly depends on a cell’s ability to swim using whips or hair-like parts. D．It has been fully studied by scientists like Manu Prakash around the world. 四、还原句子(共4小题;每小题1.5分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I am not sure how many books I have reread, but perhaps it is fewer than most people. For me, the pleasure of rereading is a newly discovered one. The source material, though, is of course not. I used to take the same approach (方法) to books as I did to travel; don’t go to the same place twice. Life is too short. 37 Then I realized that the fact that life is short might work the other way around, too: if you know you enjoy something, or somewhere, then why not return? Recently I reread Joseph Heller’s Catch-22. I was inspired (激励) to do so when reminded of how he’d reply when people rudely asked him why he’d never written anything as good: “Who has?” Catch-22 pretty much saved my life when I first read it. 38 I had dropped out of school twice, didn’t leave the house at all and didn’t have a life felt as though I hadn’t laughed in such a long time. 39 It managed to take me out of the dark world, and though its themes are, of course, serious, its cleverness cheered me greatly. I related to its characters who are themselves trapped. I am now planning to reread the kind of books that inspired me in my own writing. I won’t take a break altogether from reading the most recent releases (版本). I love the smell of new books fresh from the printers. 40 A．Catch-22 had me laughing. B．My favourite are secondhand editions. C．There is discomfort in reading recently-released books. D．At that time I was in an extremely bad mood at 17 years old. E．However, I have decided to dip more often into the old ones. F．There is so much to read and so much to see and experience. 五、阅读短文，回答问题。40-42题答案不超过10个单词（共4小题；前3小题每题2分，第4小题3分；满分9分） Worldwide, 8.1 million people are waiting for calls from strangers. Some of them consider themselves introverts (内向的). Some say they hate talking on the phone. But as volunteers for Be My Eyes, they all have a kind heart. Be My Eyes was created in 2015 by Hans Jorgen Wiberg from Denmark. This free app connects blind people with sighted volunteers through video calls for help with everyday tasks. Wiberg used to worry about finding enough volunteers. But today volunteers outnumber blind users by ten to one. It’s not easy for volunteers to get a call. Zhang Yanfei joined Be My Eyes in 2019 but didn’t receive her first call until four years later. Calls go out to many volunteers at the same time. If one doesn’t respond immediately, another volunteer will take the call. He Yanyan, a stage actress, hesitated to join at first. She feared missing calls during rehearsals (排练). After learning that other volunteers would cover missed calls, she signed up at once. She received her first call the very next day. A young man nervously asked, “Can this app really help?” Feeling nervous herself, she realized the man was also new to the platform. She described the objects around him. The caller relaxed and asked if he looked tidy. After she told him that his clothes were spotless, the conversation continued for a few more rounds until the call was suddenly cut off. The volunteer wondered if she had sounded unfriendly. Cao Zhenxiang was also nervous during his first call. After he helped an elderly man check the expiration date (有效期) on his bread, the two thanked each other repeatedly. “I was so nervous that I didn’t even know why I was thanking him,” he said. Now, Cao feels much more confident. He recently helped a blind person cross the street while working on his computer. “It just felt like chatting with a friend,” he said. 41．As a volunteer, when did Zhang Yanfei get her first call? 42．Why did He Yanyan hesitate to join at first? 43．What did Cao Zhenxiang help the caller do during his first call? 44．What can you learn from the volunteers? 六、综合填空(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Nowadays more and more children seem to get lost in a “sea of digital technology”. To be honest, as they use digital technology too much, they are losing their skills to do simple things. They can’t make toys 45 (they) or help mom cook dinner. And 46 (bad) of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others. “I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the rising number of young students who play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to make things,” 47 (say) a teacher, Colin Kinney. “Many students can’t communicate with other students but their parents are glad to see the skills of their children to use a computer or a smart phone.” Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and 48 (quiet) play on a laptop on weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be 49 very good pianist unless he spends much time practising playing the piano? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older unless he learns to communicate with others 50 a young age? Probably digital technology 51 (use) for good or bad. We can use a stone to either break a window 52 build a house. We shouldn’t blame (谴责) the children. We should help them make right 53 (choice). It is certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today’s world, but what is more important, we should encourage children 54 (develop) social abilities. They are good for children especially while growing up. 七、书面表达(共1题;满分15分) 55．随着人工智能技术快速发展，AI工具（如AI答疑、AI翻译、AI作文助手等）逐渐进入学生的学习生活。有人认为AI能有效帮助学习，也有人担心学生会过度依赖、影响独立思考。请你以“Should Students Use AI in Study?”为题，写一篇短文，谈谈AI工具在学习中的优点和缺点，并说说你认为应该如何正确使用它。 要求： 1. 词数：80-100词，开头已给出，不计入总词数； 2. 文中不能出现自己的姓名和所在学校的名称。 参考信息： Advantages:improve study efficiency (效率) explain knowledge in a clear way solve difficult problems quickly provide useful information finish some boring tasks easily … Disadvantages:copy answers directly stop students from thinking independently (独立) make students lazy depend too much on AI tools influence students’ creativity … Your opinions: think independently first use AI tools wisely … Should Students Use AI in Study?

He felt like there was a heavy weight on his 11 as he walked home alone. It was the worst day of his life. His mind would not stop thinking about what happened only just an hour ago on the school soccer field. How could he have 12 scoring that goal? He had let his whole team down. His stupid mistake made him angry. His team had lost the game because of him. He was really 13 that his coach might kick him off the team. As soon as he walked through the door, his father asked, “What’s wrong, son?” Peter’s 14 were written all over his face. “I lost the game,” Peter replied. Then he went into his room without another 15 . Ten minutes later, Peter heard his father knocking on his bedroom door. He opened the door to let him in. “Look, Peter. I don’t know what happened. But whatever it was, don’t be too hard on yourself.” “I lost the game, Dad. I failed my team. They’ll 16 never let me play again.” “Soccer is about team 17 . You’re not the only reason your team lost. If you have a good team, you should 18 each other. Besides, winning or losing is only half the game. The other half is learning how to 19 with your teammates and learning from your mistakes.” Peter didn’t say anything, but what his father said made him think carefully. The next day, Peter went to soccer practice with 20 rather than fear in his heart. “Hey, guys,” he said to his teammates. “I’m really sorry about yesterday. We were so 21 to winning that game. But I think if we continue to pull together, we’re going to win the next one.” To his surprise and relief, his teammates all nodded in agreement. “Yeah,” they said, “don’t worry about it. It’s never just one person’s fault. We should think about how we can do better next time.” Peter smiled. It made him feel 22 to know that he was on a winning team. 11．A．ears B．hands C．shoulders D．eyes 12．A．finished B．missed C．avoided D．risked 13．A．pleased B．surprised C．excited D．worried 14．A．reports B．feelings C．diaries D．plans 15．A．word B．ball C．book D．thing 16．A．suddenly B．carelessly C．mainly D．probably 17．A．address B．effort C．course D．culture 18．A．support B．fight C．create D．spread 19．A．chat B．begin C．communicate D．play 20．A．courage B．competition C．success D．spirit 21．A．open B．close C．similar D．useful 22．A．bored B．nervous C．lucky D．sleepy 三、阅读理解（共14小题；每小题2分，满分28分） 阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 A Expressions cover all parts of our life. They may be around your ears every day. You may know a lot of Chinese expressions that describe how you feel. Here are some English ones for your enjoyment. Have Your Heart in Your Mouth This expression means that you’re really afraid or anxious about something. When your heart starts beating so much that you can feel a thumping (怦怦跳) in your throat, it may feel like you “have your heart in your mouth”. Have Butterflies in the Stomach How did butterflies get in your stomach? Well, those really aren’t butterflies in there. It is a way of describing those nervous feelings you might get before a test or a very important decision. These stomach flutters (跳动) are normal and happen to many people. Some people believe having a few butterflies might even help you perform better. Sick as a Dog If you’ve ever been very sick, you may have used this expression. Because dogs eat just about anything they find, they often get sick. So it’s all right to describe someone who’s not feeling well as being “sick as a dog”. Under the Weather When it’s rainy all day outside, how would you feel? This expression comes from the idea that bad weather might hurt a person’s health and mood. 23．Which situation would make you “have your heart in your mouth”? A．You win first prize in a competition. B．You watch a horror movie alone at night. C．You have a big dinner with your family. D．You get a nice gift on your birthday. 24．Someone believes ________ if you “have butterflies in the stomach” before a test. A．you’re sure to fail B．you might do better C．you will forget everything D．you will be sick 25．All expressions discussed in the passage are about ________. A．health B．habits C．weather D．feelings B On a freezing December day in Tongxin County, Ningxia, a 4-year-old boy fell through the ice into the icy lake. People were very worried, but no one dared to walk on the broken ice. At that dangerous moment, 13-year-old Li Jiating, a seventh-grade student, stepped forward bravely. “I’m light — I’ll go!” she said. She took a long pipe (管子) from a man nearby and moved slowly to the ice hole. As she reached out to give the pipe to the boy, the ice broke again. Both she and the boy fell into the freezing water. Li Jiating held tightly (紧紧地) onto the pipe until the adults pulled her out, and firefighters soon arrived to save the boy. Wet and cold, Li Jiating quietly rode her bike home. Her father asked about her wet clothes, and she smiled and “lied”: “A water truck got me wet!” Her father learned the truth from her sister that night. “I’m scared and sad, but also proud of her kindness,” he said. The boy’s parents were very thankful. They found the “unknown hero” and visited Li Jiating with gifts and money. Though Li Jiating refused the money, they left fruits and a sheep as thanks. Many honors came to Li Jiating. Her school named her “A Good Youth with Courage and Kindness”. The local government gave her a prize, and the hospital offered her free physical exams for life. Alibaba also gave her 5,000 yuan as a prize. Li Jiating’s story is like a beam (束) of light. We praise her kindness, but we also need to teach teenagers to stay safe while helping others. Let bravery go with wisdom (智慧) — this is the best way to protect their kindness and pass warmth. 26．Why did Li Jiating decide to move on the ice to save the boy? A．She was the strongest person in the crowd. B．She wanted to get money from the boy’s parents. C．She thought her light weight would not break the ice easily. D．She had received professional training about how to save people before. 27．What’s the right order of the following events? ① Li Jiating fell into the water while trying to save the boy. ② The boy’s parents visited Li Jiating with gifts. ③ A 4-year-old boy fell through the ice into the lake. ④ Li Jiating was pulled out of the water by adults. ⑤ Li Jiating’s father learned the truth from his sister. A．①④③⑤② B．③④①⑤② C．①③④②⑤ D．③①④⑤② 28．What can we infer (推断) from the father’s words “I’m scared and sad, but also proud of her kindness.”? A．The father thought his daughter was too careless. B．The father had mixed feelings about his daughter’s act. C．The father only cared about his daughter’s safety. D．The father wanted his daughter to get more honors. 29．Why does the writer say Li Jiating’s story is like “a beam of light”? A．Her story brings warmth to people. B．She saved the boy in the morning. C．Her clothes were as bright as light. D．She used a light to find the boy. C When the first computer was invented in 1946, it really helped humans solve math problems more effectively. But the “amazing machine” had a big problem—it was heavier than a truck and took up a whole hall. Thanks to years of scientists’ efforts, small-sized computers have already been popular. “Smaller in size, greater in power”—that’s what we have always dreamed of. Now scientists are achieving this goal in robots. That’s how the world’s smallest swimming robot was created. Unlike old complex (复杂的) robots, the new robot is smaller than a grain of salt (一粒盐). However, its tiny body has a complete “system”—a brain, a sensor (传感器) and a motor. Making this tiny robot was not an easy task. The first challenge was the power supply. Since it can’t be charged (充电) anytime, scientists decided to use the solar panel (太阳能电池板) which allows the robot to run for months. But most of its body was covered by the panel, leaving little space for the control system. Luckily, researchers developed a super-tiny computer to solve this problem. With it, the robot can be programmed and then move independently. The biggest challenge was making it swim. Its small size can’t get enough driving force from water. To solve this problem, scientists came up with the idea that the robot could create a tiny electric field. The ions (离子) from the field move nearby water molecules (分子), which then push the robot forward. The robot can sense water temperature, and with further study in the future, we may use it for more functions. For scientists, the next step is to enable the robots to communicate with each other. If the robots can share information, they can work together to help humans in more fields. 30．How does the writer introduce the topic “the world’s smallest swimming robot”? A．By giving a talk.B．By showing a picture.C．By asking questions. D．By giving an example. 31．What problem did scientists solve with a super-tiny computer? A．The robot couldn’t get enough driving force. B．The robot couldn’t swim freely in water. C．The panel left little space for the control system. D．The robot could not be charged anytime. 32．What can we learn about the tiny robot from the text? A．It gets power from a super-tiny computer. B．It can communicate with other robots. C．It uses a new way to get enough driving force. D．It runs for hours at most using solar panels. 33．What is the best title of the text? A．A Tiny Swimming Robot with Big Power. B．The History of Tiny Swimming Robots. C．How to Build a Small Solar-Powered Robot. D．The Challenges of Making Small Robots. D When you think of fast animals, cheetahs and falcons may come to mind. But do you know some of the fastest living things on Earth are very small cells? If cells had their own Olympics, who would win the speed game?
