The program began in Anhui province, where she eagerly took on the challenge of learning an entirely new language. Chinese wasn’t easy — but it was exciting. “It’s so different from Ukrainian or Russian,” she said. “It felt like stepping into a whole new world.” Kovalevska was amazed by the kindness and generosity she encountered, even though she was a complete stranger. Three years later, she kept that promise and returned. Now she lives in Yuncheng, Shanxi province, with her Chinese husband, and she has begun documenting her everyday experiences through short videos. Her cheerful clips — whether tasting Shanxi’s signature dishes, joining villagers for square dancing, exploring traditional crafts, or trying out new technologies — have attracted thousands of followers both in China and overseas. For Kovalevska, content creation is less about gaining attention and more about sincerity. “I just want to show the real life I see every day,” she said. “Some people abroad still have stereotypes (刻板看法) about China, but the China I know is open, safe, and full of kindness.” Her videos are intentionally simple, with no scripts, capturing genuine moments. “I don’t act or stage anything, she explained. I want people to see how an ordinary foreigner lives in China.” After living in China for more than three years, Kovalevska says she has developed a deep sense of belonging. “China is my second home — the happiest place I’ve ever lived,” she said. “I’m constantly touched by the warmth, friendliness, and willingness of people here to help one another.” She is also fascinated by China’s rapid technological progress, having seen self-driving cars, robot dogs, and the country’s first commercial suspended monorail line in Wuhan, Hubei province. “The country is advancing so quickly,” she said. “I truly believe China represents the future.” 4. Why did Karyna come to China in 2019? A. To start a short video career. B. To join a summer cultural tour. C. To find her Chinese husband. D. To study local traditional crafts. 5. What can we learn from Karyna Kovalevska’s words about foreign views on China? A. They praise China’s public safety greatly. B. They expect to live in China personally. C. They misunderstand China’s real daily life. D. They know China in an all-round way. 6. What makes Kovalevska feel closely connected with China? A. Its kind interpersonal relations. B. Its pleasant natural surroundings. C. Its convenient public transport. D. Its amazing modern technologies. 7. What does Karyna Kovalevska’s experience tell us? A. Only local traditions attract global followers. B. True China shines with warmth and hope. C. Cross-cultural marriages create happy lives. D. Language study brings lifelong friendships. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7.

This condition, called “specific musical anhedonia (快感缺乏症),” occurs when the brain’s auditory (听觉的) regions fail to properly communicate with the areas involved in reward. In a paper recently published in the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences, the researchers who first described the condition outline the brain processes involved and explain how this work may help uncover broader differences in how people experience pleasure and joy. To identify this condition, the team developed the Barcelona Music Reward Questionnaire (BMRQ), which assesses responses to five musical reward sources: emotional impact, mood regulation, social interaction, movement/dance, and enjoyment of seeking new music. Those with musical anhedonia score low across all five areas. Behavioral research and brain imaging confirm that their auditory circuits work normally — they can hear and interpret music — but the reward circuit shows reduced activity when exposed to music. This clear difference makes the special disease easy to tell from common hearing problems. Notably, this circuit responds normally to other rewards like winning money, proving the reward system itself functions well. The core issue lies in the disruption between the reward circuit and the auditory network, not the reward circuit’s performance. Studies suggest genetics (基因) and environment may contribute to the condition. Researchers also propose that similar specific anhedonias might exist for other rewards, such as food, due to interrupted connectivity between relevant processing regions and the reward circuit. It means people may lack feelings for certain pleasures rather than all pleasant things. The team is currently working together with geneticists to identify specific genes that might be involved in specific musical anhedonia. They also plan to investigate whether the condition is a stable trait or something that changes throughout life — and whether musical anhedonia or other similar conditions can be reversed. 8. How can we describe specific musical anhedonia? A. Loss of all pleasure experiences. B. Truly damaged auditory brain regions. C. Normal hearing but no music joy. D. Reduced response to music rewards. 9. What does the BMRQ mainly do? A. Record people’s daily music habits. B. Treat unusual brain hearing illnesses. C. Test different styles of beautiful music. D. Check people’s music pleasure reactions. 10. Which word has the closest meaning to “disruption” in paragraph 3? A. Disconnection. B. Distribution. C. Discussion. D. Disqualification. 11. What will researchers study next? A. Popularity of special musical abilities. B. Links between genes and brain problems. C. Time limits of different brain disorders. D. Ways to spread musical knowledge widely. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了特定音乐快感缺乏症这一病症，包括其定义、诊断方式、大脑相关机制、成因推测，以及研究人员后续的研究计划。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Ten years ago, scientists identified a small group of individuals who feel no pleasure from music even though their hearing is normal and they enjoy other types of experiences. This condition, called “specific musical anhedonia (快感缺乏症),” occurs when the brain’s auditory (听觉的) regions fail to properly communicate with the areas involved in reward.(十年前，科学家发现了一小群人，他们尽管听力正常且享受其他类型的体验，但却无法从音乐中获得愉悦感。这种病症被称为“特定音乐快感缺乏症”，其成因在于大脑听觉区域未能与负责奖赏的区域进行恰当的沟通。)”可知，特定音乐快感缺乏症是指听力正常但无法从音乐中获得快乐。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To identify this condition, the team developed the Barcelona Music Reward Questionnaire (BMRQ), which assesses responses to five musical reward sources: emotional impact, mood regulation, social interaction, movement/dance, and enjoyment of seeking new music.(为了确定这种病症，研究团队开发了巴塞罗那音乐奖赏问卷（BMRQ），该问卷从五个音乐奖赏来源评估受试者的反应：情感影响、情绪调节、社交互动、运动/舞蹈以及探索新音乐的乐趣。)”可知，BMRQ主要检测人们对音乐愉悦感的反应。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Researchers also propose that similar specific anhedonias might exist for other rewards, such as food, due to interrupted connectivity between relevant processing regions and the reward circuit.(研究人员还提出，由于相关处理区域与奖赏回路之间的连接中断，针对其他奖赏（如食物）也可能存在类似的特定快感缺乏症。)”可知，由于相关处理区域和奖赏回路之间的连接中断导致特定快感缺乏症，“disruption(中断)”与“interrupted connectivity(中断的连接性)”意思相近，“disconnection(断开)”符合语境。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The team is currently working together with geneticists to identify specific genes that might be involved in specific musical anhedonia. They also plan to investigate whether the condition is a stable trait or something that changes throughout life — and whether musical anhedonia or other similar conditions can be reversed.(研究团队目前正与遗传学家合作，以确定可能参与特定音乐快感缺乏症的特定基因。他们还计划调查这种病症是一种稳定的特质，还是会在人生中发生变化——以及特定音乐快感缺乏症或其他类似病症是否可以逆转。)”可知，研究团队接下来会研究基因与大脑问题之间的关联。 D Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan have developed the smallest fully programmable autonomous robots to date. These microscopic machines, barely visible without magnification, measure roughly 200 by 300 by 50 micrometers — smaller than a grain of salt. They can swim through liquid, sense their surroundings, respond independently, operate for months continuously, and cost merely one penny each to produce. Powered entirely by light, the robots are equipped with microscopic computers enabling them to follow programmed paths, detect local temperature changes, and adjust movement accordingly. Unlike previous tiny machines, they do not depend on wires, magnetic (磁的) fields, or external controls, making them the first truly autonomous and programmable robots at such a microscale (微尺度). For decades, electronics have shrunk steadily, but robotics has lagged behind, especially in achieving independence at sizes below one millimeter — a challenge that has puzzled the field for 40 years. At the microscopic level, surface-related forces like drag and viscosity dominate, rather than gravity and inertia that shape motion at everyday scales. Conventional robotic designs with small arms or legs fail here, as they break easily and are hard to manufacture. To address this, the researchers created a novel movement method: instead of bending or flexing, the robots generate an electrical field that pushes charged particles in the surrounding liquid, dragging water molecules to create motion. This design, with no moving parts, ensures durability, allowing the robots to be transferred repeatedly without damage and swim for months powered by LED light. True autonomy also requires sensing, decision-making and self-powering, all integrated into a chip fractions of a millimeter across. This was made possible by cooperation between Miskin’s team and David Blaauw’s lab at the University of Michigan, which holds the record for the world’s smallest computer. Over five years of development, they overcame key obstacles. The robots feature electronic temperature sensors sensitive to changes as small as 0.3 degrees Celsius, enabling them to track cellular activity. 12. What is the power source of the newly developed microscopic robots? A. Light energy. B. Liquid pressure. C. External wires. D. Magnetic fields. 13. What can be inferred about the conventional robotic designs for microscale machines? A. They keep running for an extremely long time. B. They sense temperature changes accurately. C. They gain higher flexibility in their movements. D. They are quite easy to damage in tiny sizes. 14. Why is the collaboration between Miskin’s team and David Blaauw’s lab significant? A. It improved production skills of small robot parts greatly. B. It created new LED lights to provide power for tiny robots. C. It allowed key autonomous functions on a super small chip. D. It proved electronics fail to match robotics in size reduction. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Development History of Tiny Microscopic Robots B. Major Issues Related to Tiny-sized Robot Movement C. Joint Research Cooperation of Famous University Teams D. World’s Tiniest Fully Programmable Autonomous Robots 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍两所大学研发出迄今最小的全可编程微型自主机器人，阐述其能源、运行原理、设计突破及智能感应功能。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Powered entirely by light, the robots are equipped with microscopic computers enabling them to follow programmed paths, detect local temperature changes, and adjust movement accordingly.(这种机器人完全由光提供动力，配备微型计算机，能够按设定路径行进、感知局部温度变化并相应调整移动方式。)”可知，这款新型微型机器人的能量来源是光能。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Conventional robotic designs with small arms or legs fail here, as they break easily and are hard to manufacture.(带有细小臂和腿的传统机器人设计在此行不通，因为它们容易损坏且难以制造。)”可知，适用于微尺度机器的传统机器人设计体型微小，很容易受损。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“True autonomy also requires sensing, decision-making and self-powering, all integrated into a chip fractions of a millimeter across. This was made possible by cooperation between Miskin’s team and David Blaauw’s lab at the University of Michigan.(真正的自主运行需要感应、决策和自供电功能，全部集成在几分之一毫米大小的芯片上，而这一点因两支团队的合作得以实现。)”可知，此次合作让超小芯片具备了机器人自主运行的核心功能。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan have developed the smallest fully programmable autonomous robots to date.(宾夕法尼亚大学和密歇根大学的研究人员研发出了迄今为止最小的全可编程自主机器人。)”可知，文章围绕全球最小的全可编程自主微型机器人展开，介绍其性能、动力、设计创新与功能优势，因此“World’s Tiniest Fully Programmable Autonomous Robots(世界最小的全可编程自主机器人)”适合作为文章最佳标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A Rain Garden The monsoons (季风) can turn your backyard into a garden.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是主人公Delores Bushong的猫Hank爬到树上下不来，被困在树上五天四夜，在她感到无助时，邻居和救援人员给予她安慰和帮助，最后成功将猫救了下来，这让Bushong意识到邻里互助的重要性。 【21题详解】 考查动词。句意：他的主人，75岁的Delores Bushong到处找他，但失败了。A. searched搜寻；B. called打电话；C. followed跟随；D. accused指责。根据上文“got stuck in a 60-foot-tall tree for five days without food or water”可知，猫被困在树上，主人到处“搜寻”它。 【22题详解】 考查动词。句意：后来，她听到猫叫声，发现汉克栖息在邻居的一棵高高的树上。A. imagined想象；B. caught抓住；C. spotted发现；D. guessed猜测。根据前文“heard mewling”可知，听到猫叫后应该是“发现”猫的位置。 【23题详解】 考查动词。句意：Bushong认为汉克一定是被狗吓到了，出于恐惧爬了上去。A. attracted吸引；B. limited限制；C. abandoned抛弃；D. scared使害怕。根据下文“by dogs and climbed upward out of fear”可知，猫是因为被狗“吓到”才往上爬。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：Bushong向人道救援联盟（HRA）寻求帮助。A. banned禁止；B. asked询问，请求；C. invited邀请；D. ordered命令。根据下文“Humane Rescue Alliance (HRA) for help”可知，为了要把猫救下来，Bushong向这个组织寻求帮助，“ask sb. for help”是固定短语，意为“向某人寻求帮助”。 【25题详解】 考查形容词。句意：志愿者组织Casey Trees也表示，爬树很危险，因为树枝不够结实。A. dangerous危险的；B. easy容易的；C. necessary必要的；D. practical实际的。根据下文“as the branches weren’t strong”可知，树枝不结实，所以爬树是“危险的”。 【26题详解】 考查副词。句意：幸运的是，邻居们来帮忙救援了。A. Amusingly有趣地；B. Strangely奇怪地；C. Luckily幸运地；D. Gradually逐渐地。根据下文“neighbours came to the rescue”可知，在专业救援组织拒绝帮忙后，邻居来帮忙救援，这是“幸运的”。 【27题详解】 考查动词。句意：另一个买了一罐鱼来吸引猫。A. hid隐藏；B. sold卖；C. bought买；D. cancelled取消。根据下文“a can of fish to attract the cat”可知，为了吸引猫，应该是“买”一罐鱼。 【28题详解】 考查动词。句意：养狗的人避免让他们的宠物出去，以免让汉克惊慌。A. miss错过；B. panic使惊慌；C. observe观察；D. puzzle使困惑。根据上文“Dog owners avoided letting their pets out”可知，养狗的人不让宠物出去是怕吓到猫，让猫“惊慌”。 【29题详解】 考查名词。句意：第五天，她的邻居想出了一个滑轮系统。A. neighbours邻居；B. students学生；C. relatives亲戚；D. colleagues同事。根据前文“neighbours came to the rescue”提到邻居来帮忙可知，想出办法的也是“邻居”。 【30题详解】 考查名词。句意：Bushong准备了一个盒子，里面装着汉克最喜欢的东西作为“派对礼包”。A. schedules时间表；B. performances表演；C. operations操作；D. favourites最喜欢的东西。根据下文“as a ‘party pack’”可知，要吸引猫下来，应该是在派对礼包里装猫最喜欢的东西。 【31题详解】 考查副词。句意：兴奋的是，汉克跳了进去，被安全地带了下来。A. curiously好奇地；B. safely安全地；C. secretly秘密地；D. quietly安静地。根据下文“Hank jumped in”可知，猫跳进了那个盒子里，所以是被安全地带了下来。 【32题详解】 考查名词。句意：这次冒险让她明白了邻里之间的善意。A. lesson教训，启示；B. story故事；C. skill技能；D. trick诡计。根据下文“about neighbourly kindness”可知，这次经历让她感受到了邻居的善良，因此可以说这次经历给了她这么一个启示或教训。 【33题详解】 考查动词。句意：“这么多人不辞辛劳地帮忙，”她说。A. analyse分析；B. tease取笑；C. submit提交；D. assist帮助。根据前文“neighbours came to the rescue”说的邻居们都来帮忙救猫可知，这里是说很多人来“帮助”。 【34题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这让我相信，我住在一个邻里关系紧密的社区。A. cold-blooded冷血的；B. good-tempered脾气好的；C. close-connected关系紧密的；D. long-sighted有远见的。根据前文“neighbours came to the rescue”可知，邻居们都来热心帮忙，这是一个邻里关系“紧密”的社区。 【35题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：回到家后，汉克现在安全地待在后院，不再渴望开始危险的冒险。A. set off出发，开始；B. put out扑灭；C. give up放弃；D. turn down拒绝。根据上文“stays safely in the backyard”和下文“on risky adventures”可知，猫从树上下来了，安全地待在后院，受过惊吓以后肯定不再渴望“开始”危险的冒险。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Dujiangyan irrigation (灌溉) system was constructed in around 256 BCE by the State of Qin.

He could not wait to play his guitar. A moment later, a scream was heard from Daniel’s room. He raced to the kitchen where his mother was. Daniel’s mother was in shock when she saw the badly damaged guitar. A scratch (刮痕) ran down the body of his guitar. His plectrum (琴拨) had been thrown into the sound hole, causing a rattling sound whenever the guitar was moved. Three of the strings had been cut and the loose ends were curled upwards. Daniel was almost in tears. He had saved his allowance for half a year before he was able to afford the guitar and he had always kept it in good condition. Just then, Daniel’s younger sister, Marie, walked into the kitchen. “Do you know anything about this?” asked her mother as she gestured at the damaged guitar. Marie glanced at it and shook her head firmly. Daniel was doubtful. His sister looked guilty. She was silent at first. However, Daniel persisted. Shaking her by the shoulders, he began accusing her of damaging his guitar. “It wasn’t me!” she shouted. “It was Jo!” Daniel stared at her in disbelief. Jo was Marie’s best friend who often went to their house. Jo loved guitars. She could not have damaged his. He looked at his sister seriously, wondering if she was using her friend as a scapegoat (替罪羊). Suddenly, Marie burst into tears. She admitted that she had taken out his guitar to have a look. Jo, who was there then, played with it but it was Marie who accidentally scratched it. She had placed the neck of the guitar face down under a paper she was cutting and had cut the strings. Running his hands over it, Daniel realized that he could only afford to replace the strings and to accept that the scratch could not be erased. He would not be able to afford a new one for the time being. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With Mom standing behind them, Daniel stared at Marie angrily while she lowered her head. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over the next few weeks, Marie became Daniel’s assistant in his pursuit of a new guitar. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： With Mom standing behind them, Daniel stared at Marie angrily while she lowered her head. Feeling a mixture of frustration and disappointment, Daniel stared at his beloved guitar. Marie, with tears in her eyes, knew she had made a huge mistake. Then their mother placed a comforting hand on Daniel’s shoulder. “I know, sweetheart. But think about it this way: Marie learned a hard lesson; she should help you fix it, even in small ways, as a way to show she truly regrets what happened.” Marie’s face lit up with hope. “Yes, Daniel! I can help you save money for a new guitar. Please, let me make it up to you.” Daniel hesitated, then slowly nodded. He still felt hurt, but he could see the sincerity in Marie’s eyes. Maybe — just maybe — they could turn this situation into something positive. Over the next few weeks, Marie became Daniel’s assistant in his pursuit of a new guitar. She helped him with chores around the house, earning small allowances that she immediately handed over to him. Daniel noticed her efforts and began to warm up to her. In time, Marie’s persistence paid off. With the combined efforts of both siblings as well as their mother’s generous help, they were finally able to afford a new guitar. As he held his new instrument, Daniel realized that the bond between him and his sister had healed. Marie smiled, relieved that she had finally earned her brother’s forgiveness. The guitar became a symbol of their growth and resilience, reminding them that even in the face of adversity, they could find a way to come together and move forward. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Daniel心爱的吉他被妹妹Marie不小心损坏，Marie最终承认错误并希望弥补，母亲也从中调和，Daniel最终决定给妹妹一个弥补机会的故事。 【详解】段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Daniel在母亲的劝说下，决定给妹妹一个弥补的机会，妹妹也真诚地表示愿意帮助他攒钱买新吉他。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Marie如何努力帮助Daniel攒钱，以及他们最终共同买到新吉他后，两人关系的修复和成长。 2.续写线索： 母亲调和——Daniel决定给机会——Marie表示愿意帮助——Marie努力攒钱——共同买到新吉他——关系修复和成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①凝视：stare at/gaze at/look fixedly at ②注意到：notice/observe/perceive 情绪类 ①真诚：sincerity/genuineness ②乐观的：positive/optimistic 【点睛】【高分句型1】Feeling a mixture of frustration and disappointment, Daniel stared at his beloved guitar.（运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】As he held his new instrument, Daniel realized that the bond between him and his sister had healed.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句，that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语 注意事项： 1．本试卷共10页，满分150分，时间120分钟。 2．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名和准考证号填写在答题卡上。 3．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。涂写在本试卷上无效。 4．作答非选择题时，将答案书写在答题卡上，书写在本试卷上无效。 5．考试结束后，监考员将答题卡按顺序收回，装袋整理；试卷不回收。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B When Karyna Kovalevska, an 18-year-old from Ukraine, first visited China in 2019 as part of a Confucius Institute summer exchange program, she never imagined the country would one day become her second home. The program began in Anhui province, where she eagerly took on the challenge of learning an entirely new language. Chinese wasn’t easy — but it was exciting. “It’s so different from Ukrainian or Russian,” she said. “It felt like stepping into a whole new world.” Kovalevska was amazed by the kindness and generosity she encountered, even though she was a complete stranger. Three years later, she kept that promise and returned. Now she lives in Yuncheng, Shanxi province, with her Chinese husband, and she has begun documenting her everyday experiences through short videos. Her cheerful clips — whether tasting Shanxi’s signature dishes, joining villagers for square dancing, exploring traditional crafts, or trying out new technologies — have attracted thousands of followers both in China and overseas. For Kovalevska, content creation is less about gaining attention and more about sincerity. “I just want to show the real life I see every day,” she said. “Some people abroad still have stereotypes (刻板看法) about China, but the China I know is open, safe, and full of kindness.” Her videos are intentionally simple, with no scripts, capturing genuine moments. “I don’t act or stage anything, she explained. I want people to see how an ordinary foreigner lives in China.” After living in China for more than three years, Kovalevska says she has developed a deep sense of belonging. “China is my second home — the happiest place I’ve ever lived,” she said. “I’m constantly touched by the warmth, friendliness, and willingness of people here to help one another.” She is also fascinated by China’s rapid technological progress, having seen self-driving cars, robot dogs, and the country’s first commercial suspended monorail line in Wuhan, Hubei province. “The country is advancing so quickly,” she said. “I truly believe China represents the future.” 4. Why did Karyna come to China in 2019? A. To start a short video career. B. To join a summer cultural tour. C. To find her Chinese husband. D. To study local traditional crafts. 5. What can we learn from Karyna Kovalevska’s words about foreign views on China? A. They praise China’s public safety greatly. B. They expect to live in China personally. C. They misunderstand China’s real daily life. D. They know China in an all-round way. 6. What makes Kovalevska feel closely connected with China? A. Its kind interpersonal relations. B. Its pleasant natural surroundings. C. Its convenient public transport. D. Its amazing modern technologies. 7. What does Karyna Kovalevska’s experience tell us? A. Only local traditions attract global followers. B. True China shines with warmth and hope. C. Cross-cultural marriages create happy lives. D. Language study brings lifelong friendships. C Ten years ago, scientists identified a small group of individuals who feel no pleasure from music even though their hearing is normal and they enjoy other types of experiences. This condition, called “specific musical anhedonia (快感缺乏症),” occurs when the brain’s auditory (听觉的) regions fail to properly communicate with the areas involved in reward. In a paper recently published in the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences, the researchers who first described the condition outline the brain processes involved and explain how this work may help uncover broader differences in how people experience pleasure and joy. To identify this condition, the team developed the Barcelona Music Reward Questionnaire (BMRQ), which assesses responses to five musical reward sources: emotional impact, mood regulation, social interaction, movement/dance, and enjoyment of seeking new music. Those with musical anhedonia score low across all five areas. Behavioral research and brain imaging confirm that their auditory circuits work normally — they can hear and interpret music — but the reward circuit shows reduced activity when exposed to music. This clear difference makes the special disease easy to tell from common hearing problems. Notably, this circuit responds normally to other rewards like winning money, proving the reward system itself functions well. The core issue lies in the disruption between the reward circuit and the auditory network, not the reward circuit’s performance. Studies suggest genetics (基因) and environment may contribute to the condition. Researchers also propose that similar specific anhedonias might exist for other rewards, such as food, due to interrupted connectivity between relevant processing regions and the reward circuit. It means people may lack feelings for certain pleasures rather than all pleasant things. The team is currently working together with geneticists to identify specific genes that might be involved in specific musical anhedonia. They also plan to investigate whether the condition is a stable trait or something that changes throughout life — and whether musical anhedonia or other similar conditions can be reversed. 8. How can we describe specific musical anhedonia? A. Loss of all pleasure experiences. B. Truly damaged auditory brain regions. C. Normal hearing but no music joy. D. Reduced response to music rewards. 9. What does the BMRQ mainly do? A. Record people’s daily music habits. B. Treat unusual brain hearing illnesses. C. Test different styles of beautiful music. D. Check people’s music pleasure reactions. 10. Which word has the closest meaning to “disruption” in paragraph 3? A. Disconnection. B. Distribution. C. Discussion. D. Disqualification. 11. What will researchers study next? A. Popularity of special musical abilities. B. Links between genes and brain problems. C. Time limits of different brain disorders. D. Ways to spread musical knowledge widely. D Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan have developed the smallest fully programmable autonomous robots to date. These microscopic machines, barely visible without magnification, measure roughly 200 by 300 by 50 micrometers — smaller than a grain of salt. They can swim through liquid, sense their surroundings, respond independently, operate for months continuously, and cost merely one penny each to produce. Powered entirely by light, the robots are equipped with microscopic computers enabling them to follow programmed paths, detect local temperature changes, and adjust movement accordingly. Unlike previous tiny machines, they do not depend on wires, magnetic (磁的) fields, or external controls, making them the first truly autonomous and programmable robots at such a microscale (微尺度). For decades, electronics have shrunk steadily, but robotics has lagged behind, especially in achieving independence at sizes below one millimeter — a challenge that has puzzled the field for 40 years. At the microscopic level, surface-related forces like drag and viscosity dominate, rather than gravity and inertia that shape motion at everyday scales. Conventional robotic designs with small arms or legs fail here, as they break easily and are hard to manufacture. To address this, the researchers created a novel movement method: instead of bending or flexing, the robots generate an electrical field that pushes charged particles in the surrounding liquid, dragging water molecules to create motion. This design, with no moving parts, ensures durability, allowing the robots to be transferred repeatedly without damage and swim for months powered by LED light. True autonomy also requires sensing, decision-making and self-powering, all integrated into a chip fractions of a millimeter across. This was made possible by cooperation between Miskin’s team and David Blaauw’s lab at the University of Michigan, which holds the record for the world’s smallest computer. Over five years of development, they overcame key obstacles. The robots feature electronic temperature sensors sensitive to changes as small as 0.3 degrees Celsius, enabling them to track cellular activity. 12.

He could not wait to play his guitar. A moment later, a scream was heard from Daniel’s room. He raced to the kitchen where his mother was. Daniel’s mother was in shock when she saw the badly damaged guitar. A scratch (刮痕) ran down the body of his guitar. His plectrum (琴拨) had been thrown into the sound hole, causing a rattling sound whenever the guitar was moved. Three of the strings had been cut and the loose ends were curled upwards. Daniel was almost in tears. He had saved his allowance for half a year before he was able to afford the guitar and he had always kept it in good condition. Just then, Daniel’s younger sister, Marie, walked into the kitchen. “Do you know anything about this?” asked her mother as she gestured at the damaged guitar. Marie glanced at it and shook her head firmly. Daniel was doubtful. His sister looked guilty. She was silent at first. However, Daniel persisted. Shaking her by the shoulders, he began accusing her of damaging his guitar. “It wasn’t me!” she shouted. “It was Jo!” Daniel stared at her in disbelief. Jo was Marie’s best friend who often went to their house. Jo loved guitars. She could not have damaged his. He looked at his sister seriously, wondering if she was using her friend as a scapegoat (替罪羊). Suddenly, Marie burst into tears. She admitted that she had taken out his guitar to have a look. Jo, who was there then, played with it but it was Marie who accidentally scratched it. She had placed the neck of the guitar face down under a paper she was cutting and had cut the strings. Running his hands over it, Daniel realized that he could only afford to replace the strings and to accept that the scratch could not be erased. He would not be able to afford a new one for the time being. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With Mom standing behind them, Daniel stared at Marie angrily while she lowered her head. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over the next few weeks, Marie became Daniel’s assistant in his pursuit of a new guitar. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
