B Fan Siyan was born in 1990 in Pizhou,a city in Jiangsu Province.After she graduated from university in 2012,she faced a dilemma:accept a comfortable,decent-paying job in a busy city or return to her hometown to work in the fields,where she was raised.After much consideration,she chose the latter.In this way,she could use her knowledge to help her fellow villagers live better. Shortly after she moved back,Fan found out many of the farmers suffered economic losses because they lacked technical skills.She quickly realized agriculture was not simply planting and harvesting;rather,it required constant learning and exploration.She began studying agricultural techniques,and consulting experts,and she gradually gained rich practical experience. 期中考试试题第2/12页 "To grow a business,one cannot just rely on his own strength,"Fan has said many times. In 2016,she co-founded Dazhuang Agricultural Science and Technology Development Company with several like-minded partners.They developed a demonstration base to promote a modern, industrialized vegetable plantation,which covered 6 hectares of land.They worked tirelessly as they conducted research,developed vegetable seeds,and promoted agricultural technologies. Now the company has expanded its seedling base from 6 hectares to 38 hectares.

B.To offer positions to rural women. C.To improve women's overall ability. D.To manage family issues for women. c Why do people seek out information about an ex's new relationships,read negative Internet comments and do other things that will obviously be painful?Because humans are born with the need to resolve uncertainty,according to a recent study in Psychological Science. The new research reveals that the need to know is so strong that people will seek to satisfy their curiosity even when it is clear the answer will hurt. In a series of four experiments,the students were tested on their willingness to expose themselves to disgusting stimuli (in an effort to satisfy curiosity.For one trial,each participant was shown a pile of pens,half of which would deliver an electric shock when clicked. Twenty-seven students were informed of the exact pens;another 27 were told only that some were electrified.When left alone in the room,the students who did not know which ones would shock them clicked more pens and brought more shocks than the students who knew what would happen.The following experiments copied this effect with other stimuli,such as the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard and photographs of disgusting insects. The drive to discover is deeply-rooted in humans,just like the basic drive for food,says Christopher Hsee of the University of Chicago,a co-author of the paper.Curiosity is often considered a good instinct ()-it can lead to new scientific advances,for instance-but sometimes such inquiry can backfire."The insight that curiosity can drive you to do self-destructive things is a profound one,"says George Loewenstein,a professor of economics and psychology at Carnegie Mellon University who has pioneered the scientific study of curiosity. 期中考试试题第4/12页 Morbid (curiosity is possible to resist however.In a final experiment,participants who were encouraged to predict how they would feel after viewing an unpleasant picture were less likely to choose to see such an image.These results suggest that imagining the outcome of following through on one's curiosity ahead of time can help determine whether it is worth the risk."Thinking about long term consequences is key to reducing the possible negative effects of curiosity,"Hsee says.In other words,don't read online comments. 8.Why do people read negative internet comments according to the passage? A.To broaden the horizon. B.To ease their pain. C.To preserve their reputation. D.To satisfy their curiosity. 9.What writing technique is used in Paragraph 2? A.Giving examples. B.Making comparisons. C.Describing facts. D.Explaining causes. 10.What does the underlined word "backfire"in Paragraph 3 mean? A.Add fuel to the fire. B.Cause a sudden explosion. C.Produce an opposite effect. D.Provide approval and support. 11.How can morbid curiosity be resisted? A.By predicting potential outcomes. B.By participating in more experiments. C.By reading negative online comments. D.By considering the positive consequences. D On the night of February 16,2026,the CCTV Spring Festival Gala surprised the world with a special program called WuBOT.Unlike previous years where robots moved slowly in lines,this time,over 20 humanoid robots performed Chinese Kung Fu together.They were made by a Chinese company called Unitree Robotics. The robots,models G1 and H2,showed amazing skills.They could run fast,jump over 期中考试试题第5/12页 tables,and even do backflips in the air.One robot jumped 3 meters high,nearly touching the ceiling of the studio!Another group of robots fought with wooden sticks against real Kung Fu students from a famous martial arts school.They moved so smoothly that some viewers thought the video was played backwards. What made this performance special was that the robots acted autonomously.This means no humans controlled them with remote controls during the show.They used 3D lasers and sensors to "see'the stage and each other.If one robot made a mistake or was pushed,it could correct itself in milliseconds. "The goal is not just to perform on stage,"said Wang Xingxing,the founder of Unitree. "We want these robots to help people in factories and homes in the future.The Spring Festival Gala is a great place to show how far Chinese technology has come." Many young students watched the show and felt proud."I never thought robots could do Kung Fu so well,"said Li Hua,a 14-year-old student from Jinan,"It makes me want to study science and create useful robots for our country. 12.What was the main difference between the 2026 robot performance and previous ones? A.The robots moved slowly in straight lines. B.The robots moved fast and did difficult Kung Fu moves. C.The robots were controlled by humans with remote controls. D.The robots only danced without any martial arts skills. 13.How did the robots know where to move on the stage? A.They followed the instructions of the directors. B.They watched the other human performers. C.They used 3D lasers and sensors to see the environment. D.They memorized the map of the stage before the show. 期中考试试题第6/12页 14.According to Wang Xingxing,why did they show the robots on the Gala? A.To entertain the audience. B.To replace human workers in the film industry. C.To show technological progress and future use in daily life. D.To prove the robots are better than human Kung Fu masters. 15.Which of the following statement best reflects the author's attitude to the WuBOT program?

That night,Mason finally picked up his pen and began to write.He wrote slowly and carefully,choosing words he was familiar with.Though he was still nervous,he finished the text and felt a sense of relief.

curiosity can drive you to do self--destructive things is a profound one,(这种洞察力可能会驱使你自我毁灭，非常可怕)” 可知，好奇心会推进科学进步，但同时也会带来毁灭性的后果。划线词与“导致适得其反的后果”之意 相近，故选C项。 ll.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“These results suggest that imagining the outcome of following through on one's curiosity ahead of time can help determine whether it is worth the risk. 些研究表明，提前想象一下遵从自己的好奇心的后果，可能会帮助我们确定是否值得冒险)”可知，提 前预测好奇心可能带来的后果，是抵制病态好奇心的方式。故选A项。 阅读理解D解析： 【答案】12.B13.C14.C15.D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍了2026年春晚机器人武术表演《MuB0T》的亮点。宇树科技的人形 机器人自主完成高难度动作，展现了中国机器人技术的飞速进步与未来应用前景。 l2.B文章第一段明确提到：“Unlike previous years where robots

B Fan Siyan was born in 1990 in Pizhou, a city in Jiangsu Province. After she graduated from university in 2012, she faced a dilemma: accept a comfortable, decent-paying job in a busy city or return to her hometown to work in the fields, where she was raised. After much consideration, she chose the latter. In this way, she could use her knowledge to help her fellow villagers live better. Shortly after she moved back, Fan found out many of the farmers suffered economic losses because they lacked technical skills. She quickly realized agriculture was not simply planting and harvesting; rather, it required constant learning and exploration. She began studying agricultural techniques, and consulting experts, and she gradually gained rich practical experience. “To grow a business, one cannot just rely on his own strength,” Fan has said many times. In 2016, she co-founded Dazhuang Agricultural Science and Technology Development Company with several like-minded partners. They developed a demonstration base to promote a modern, industrialized vegetable plantation, which covered 6 hectares of land. They worked tirelessly as they conducted research, developed vegetable seeds, and promoted agricultural technologies. Now the company has expanded its seedling base from 6 hectares to 38 hectares. In 2022, Fan established a field women’s home. She held various training sessions, addressing marketing, planting techniques and family management. By the end of 2024, Fan had helped more than 200 women secure jobs, 19 women start family farms, and 41 women further their education. With her help, many rural women have begun businesses. Together, those women have become a vital force in rural revitalization (乡村振兴). Fan’s efforts have earned her widespread recognition. She was chosen as a March 8th Red-Banner Holder in 2023. Fan says she will continue leading villagers in working hard and using practical actions to shoulder the responsibility of being a “new farmer”. She believes, with a collective effort, rural areas will become even more beautiful and brilliant. 4．Why did Fan decide to return home? A．To find a decent and high-paying job. B．To explore agricultural techniques. C．To escape the stressful life in big cities. D．To apply her knowledge to helping villagers. 5．What did Fan discover soon after moving back? A．Farmers needed economic aid. B．Farming had low profits. C．Farming required science. D．Farmers ignored education. 6．What did Fan stress in paragraph 3? A．The hardship in running a business. B．The great power of cooperation. C．The significance of strong leadership. D．The prospect of modern agriculture. 7．What is the purpose of Fan’s field women’s home? A．To help women find jobs in cities. B．To offer positions to rural women. C．To improve women’s overall ability. D．To manage family issues for women. C Why do people seek out information about an ex's new relationships, read negative Internet comments and do other things that will obviously be painful? Because humans are born with the need to resolve uncertainty, according to a recent study in Psychological Science. The new research reveals that the need to know is so strong that people will seek to satisfy their curiosity even when it is clear the answer will hurt. In a series of four experiments, the students were tested on their willingness to expose themselves to disgusting stimuli（刺激物）in an effort to satisfy curiosity. For one trial, each participant was shown a pile of pens, half of which would deliver an electric shock when clicked. Twenty-seven students were informed of the exact pens; another 27 were told only that some were electrified. When left alone in the room, the students who did not know which ones would shock them clicked more pens and brought more shocks than the students who knew what would happen. The following experiments copied this effect with other stimuli, such as the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard and photographs of disgusting insects. The drive to discover is deeply-rooted in humans, just like the basic drive for food, says Christopher Hsee of the University of Chicago, a co-author of the paper. Curiosity is often considered a good instinct（本能）—it can lead to new scientific advances, for instance—but sometimes such inquiry can backfire. “The insight that curiosity can drive you to do self-destructive things is a profound one,” says George Loewenstein, a professor of economics and psychology at Carnegie Mellon University who has pioneered the scientific study of curiosity. Morbid（病态的）curiosity is possible to resist however. In a final experiment, participants who were encouraged to predict how they would feel after viewing an unpleasant picture were less likely to choose to see such an image. These results suggest that imagining the outcome of following through on one's curiosity ahead of time can help determine whether it is worth the risk. “Thinking about long term consequences is key to reducing the possible negative effects of curiosity,” Hsee says. In other words, don't read online comments. 8．Why do people read negative internet comments according to the passage? A．To broaden the horizon. B．To ease their pain. C．To preserve their reputation. D．To satisfy their curiosity. 9．What writing technique is used in Paragraph 2? A．Giving examples. B．Making comparisons. C．Describing facts. D．Explaining causes. 10．What does the underlined word “backfire” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Add fuel to the fire. B．Cause a sudden explosion. C．Produce an opposite effect. D．Provide approval and support. 11．How can morbid curiosity be resisted? A．By predicting potential outcomes. B．By participating in more experiments. C．By reading negative online comments. D．By considering the positive consequences. D On the night of February 16, 2026, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala surprised the world with a special program called WuBOT. Unlike previous years where robots moved slowly in lines,this time, over 20 humanoid robots performed Chinese Kung Fu together. They were made by a Chinese company called Unitree Robotics. The robots, models G1 and H2, showed amazing skills. They could run fast, jump over tables, and even do backflips in the air. One robot jumped 3 meters high, nearly touching the ceiling of the studio! Another group of robots fought with wooden sticks against real Kung Fu students from a famous martial arts school.They moved so smoothly that some viewers thought the video was played backwards. What made this performance special was that the robots acted autonomously. This means no humans controlled them with remote controls during the show. They used 3D lasers and sensors to "see' the stage and each other. If one robot made a mistake or was pushed,it could correct itself in milliseconds. “The goal is not just to perform on stage,” said Wang Xingxing, the founder of Unitree. "We want these robots to help people in factories and homes in the future. The Spring Festival Gala is a great place to show how far Chinese technology has come." Many young students watched the show and felt proud. "I never thought robots could do Kung Fu so well," said Li Hua, a 14-year-old student from Jinan, “It makes me want to study science and create useful robots for our country.” 12.What was the main difference between the 2026 robot performance and previous ones? A. The robots moved slowly in straight lines. B. The robots moved fast and did difficult Kung Fu moves. C. The robots were controlled by humans with remote controls. D. The robots only danced without any martial arts skills. 13.How did the robots know where to move on the stage? A. They followed the instructions of the directors. B. They watched the other human performers. C. They used 3D lasers and sensors to see the environment. D. They memorized the map of the stage before the show. 14.According to Wang Xingxing, why did they show the robots on the Gala? A. To entertain the audience . B. To replace human workers in the film industry. C. To show technological progress and future use in daily life. D. To prove the robots are better than human Kung Fu masters. 15.Which of the following statement best reflects the author’s attitude to the WuBOT program? A. Skeptical B. Indifferent C. Sympathetic D.

The school was full of energy, and the students were warm and welcoming. However, Mason often felt nervous because of the language barrier. Although Mason had studied some Chinese before, he was still not confident, especially when it came to Chinese writing. Spoken mistakes could be corrected quickly, but written ones stayed on the paper, clear for everyone to see. He worried that his classmates might laugh at him if he used the wrong words or made grammatical(语法的) mistakes. One Monday morning, Mason’s Chinese teacher gave the class a task. Each student should write a short text in Chinese to introduce themselves. The texts would be posted on the class notice board. When Mason heard this, he felt a wave of fear. He stared at the blank page, not knowing where to start. After class, Mason remained at his desk. His deskmate, Li Hua, noticed that Mason looked worried and asked him what was wrong. After a moment of silence, Mason shared his fear of writing in Chinese and being laughed at by others. Li Hua smiled and shook her head. “Everyone makes mistakes while learning a new language,” she said. “We all learn by making them.” She encouraged Mason to write in simple Chinese and focus on expressing his ideas, without worrying too much about grammar. Li Hua even offered to help Mason check his text later. That night, Mason finally picked up his pen and began to write. He wrote slowly and carefully, choosing words he was familiar with. Though he was still nervous, he finished the text and felt a sense of relief. The next day, Mason walked into the classroom, holding his text tightly in his hand, unsure of what would happen next. 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: After class, Mason showed his text to Li Hua.
