However, there is a shortage of tools to evaluate consciousness for children aged 2 to 18. Neurodevelopmental changes with age further complicate the assessment of children’s awareness. To address this problem, researchers from Anglia Ruskin University. The Children’s Trust and Temple University have created the MuSICCA tool. It uses musical stimulation to help children demonstrate their level of consciousness. Specially selected music is performed live by a qualified music therapist, who adjusts the music based on the child’s responses to maximize their chance to show their abilities. The therapist observes and records the child’s behaviour using standard scales, and MuSICCA then generates a diagnosis of their consciousness level. In the study, researchers invited music therapists, families of brain-injured children and healthcare professionals to evaluate the tool. After demonstration and Q&A sessions, participants rated two statements about MuSICCA: whether it assesses consciousness, and whether it is suitable for children and young people. They also commented on its strengths and weaknesses. All participants agreed with the two statements, with 85% strongly agreeing with each. Lead author Dr Jonathan Pool stated that children with consciousness disorders rely on others to interpret their subtle behaviour, and reliable assessment tools are urgently needed. MuSICCA enables rigorous assessment of responses to musical stimuli, clearly showing the child’s consciousness level and response patterns. The results are easy to share with care and medical teams and help families understand how to support their child’s recovery. The study confirms that MuSICCA is a suitable and comprehensive assessment method, with advantages for providing guidance, engaging caregivers and assisting clinical teams. 4. What problem are children with disorders of consciousness faced with? A. They need help with daily care. B. They cannot get proper medical treatment. C. Their consciousness is hard to assess. D. Their development is affected by age. 5. How does the MuSICCA tool work? A. It asks children to make music. B. It uses pre-recorded music to test children. C. It depends on parents to report behaviour. D. It changes music based on a child’s reactions. 6. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. Who was invited to take part. B. How the evaluation was conducted. C. Why different experts were needed. D. What opinions participants held. 7. What does Dr Jonathan Pool’s statement suggest about MuSICCA? A. It aids children’s treatment and healing. B. All participants agreed it was effective. C. It can replace caregivers’ observations. D. Caregivers need to learn how to use it. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍儿童意识障碍评估工具短缺的问题，以及MuSICCA工具的研发、工作原理和评估效果。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However, there is a shortage of tools to evaluate consciousness for children aged 2 to 18. Neurodevelopmental changes with age further complicate the assessment of children’s awareness.(然而，目前缺乏用于评估2至18岁儿童意识的工具。随着年龄增长的神经发育变化进一步复杂化了对儿童意识的评估)”可知，意识障碍儿童面临的问题是他们的意识难以评估。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Specially selected music is performed live by a qualified music therapist, who adjusts the music based on the child’s responses to maximize their chance to show their abilities.(由合格的音乐治疗师现场演奏精心挑选的音乐，治疗师会根据孩子的反应调整音乐，以最大限度地让他们有机会展示自己的能力)”可知，MuSICCA工具通过治疗师根据孩子的反应调整音乐来发挥作用。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“In the study, researchers invited music therapists, families of brain-injured children and healthcare professionals to evaluate the tool. After demonstration and Q&A sessions, participants rated two statements about MuSICCA: whether it assesses consciousness, and whether it is suitable for children and young people. They also commented on its strengths and weaknesses.(在这项研究中，研究人员邀请了音乐治疗师、脑损伤儿童的家属和医疗专业人员来评估该工具。经过演示和问答环节后，参与者对关于MuSICCA的两个陈述进行了评分：它是否能评估意识，以及它是否适合儿童和青少年。他们还对其优缺点进行了评论)”可知，该段主要介绍了MuSICCA工具的评估是如何进行的，包括邀请的参与者、评估流程和内容。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“MuSICCA enables rigorous assessment of responses to musical stimuli, clearly showing the child’s consciousness level and response patterns. The results are easy to share with care and medical teams and help families understand how to support their child’s recovery.(MuSICCA能够对音乐刺激的反应进行严格评估，清晰地显示孩子的意识水平和反应模式。评估结果易于与护理和医疗团队共享，并帮助家属了解如何支持孩子的康复)”可知，Dr Jonathan Pool的话表明MuSICCA有助于儿童的治疗和康复。 C You are in a quiet room, trying to focus on an important report. Yet a short piece of melody keeps circling in your mind, refusing to leave. This phenomenon, known as an “earworm,” may be more than just an annoyance — it reveals something about how our brains work. Researchers suggest that earworms may arise from a type of withdrawal response to the absence of music. When we desire music but cannot hear it, our brains may generate their own internal melodies, leading to an earworm. Studies show that earworms are more likely to occur with songs heard frequently or recently. In one experiment, participants listened to an unfamiliar song either two or six times. Over the following three days, researchers contacted them at random intervals. About one-third reported having the song stuck in their heads at the time of contact. The effect was stronger for those who had heard the song six times and was most common the day after exposure. Once an earworm takes hold, it does more than just bother us — it invades our working memory. Working memory is the cognitive system that holds and processes information in the short term. When a song is stuck in our heads, it occupies valuable space in this system, making it harder to recall other information accurately. The more familiar the song, the greater the interference. So how can we get rid of an unwanted earworm? A surprisingly simple solution may be chewing gum. Part of our working memory relies on the “inner voice,” which involves tiny, unconscious movements of the throat muscles. Chewing gum engages these same muscles, potentially disrupting the mental loop of the earworm and helping it fade away. 8. What is the main cause of earworms according to the text? A. Lack of sleep. B. Overuse of social media. C. A desire for music without hearing it. D. Exposure to loud environments. 9. What did the experiment in paragraph 3 reveal? A. Frequent listening increases the chance of earworms. B. Earworms disappear completely after three days. C. Unfamiliar songs never become earworms. D. Earworms only occur during sleep. 10. How do earworms affect cognitive performance? A. They improve long-term memory. B. They reduce the capacity of working memory. C. They help focus attention on tasks. D. They increase creativity. 11. Why might chewing gum help stop an earworm? A. It distracts the brain with a new sound. B. It relaxes the entire body. C. It occupies the throat muscles used by the “inner voice.” D. It releases chemicals that calm the brain. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了耳虫现象的成因、影响及如何消除耳虫现象。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Researchers suggest that earworms may arise from a type of withdrawal response to the absence of music. When we desire music but cannot hear it, our brains may generate their own internal melodies, leading to an earworm.(研究人员认为，耳虫现象可能源于对音乐缺失的一种戒断反应。当我们渴望音乐却听不到时，我们的大脑可能会产生自己的内部旋律，从而导致耳虫现象。)”可知，耳虫现象的主要原因是渴望音乐却听不到。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Studies show that earworms are more likely to occur with songs heard frequently or recently.(研究表明，频繁听过或近期听过的歌曲，更容易引发耳虫。)”可知，频繁听歌会增加耳虫现象出现的几率。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Once an earworm takes hold, it does more than just bother us—it invades our working memory. Working memory is the cognitive system that holds and processes information in the short term. When a song is stuck in our heads, it occupies valuable space in this system, making it harder to recall other information accurately.(一旦耳虫现象出现，它不仅仅会困扰我们，还会侵入我们的工作记忆。工作记忆是一种在短期内保存和处理信息的认知系统。当一首歌卡在我们的脑海里时，它会占据这个系统中的宝贵空间，使我们更难准确地回忆其他信息。)”可知，耳虫现象会减少工作记忆的容量。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Part of our working memory relies on the “inner voice,” which involves tiny, unconscious movements of the throat muscles. Chewing gum engages these same muscles, potentially disrupting the mental loop of the earworm and helping it fade away.(我们工作记忆的一部分依赖于“内心声音”，这涉及到喉咙肌肉的微小、无意识的运动。嚼口香糖会调动这些相同的肌肉，可能会破坏耳虫的心理循环，帮助它逐渐消失。)”可知，嚼口香糖可能会占用“内心声音”所使用的喉咙肌肉，从而帮助停止耳虫现象。 D From the national Spring Festival Gala to local cultural performances, humanoid robots (人形机器人) are making their presence felt across China during the New Year celebrations. Their appearances signal how deeply technology is becoming woven into the fabric of tradition. At the Spring Festival Gala, four leading robot startups demonstrated advanced capabilities, with robots performing alongside human dancers. Beyond the main event, robots joined a dance drama in Jiangxi Province dedicated to Tiangong Kaiwu, a 17th-century Chinese encyclopedia of technology and industry. “The performance shows respect to technology, and the robots amazed us again,” said audience member Hu Jingchen. In Shandong Province, a special gala hosted by the local robotics industry association featured over 200 robots and robotic dogs in 19 programs, including acrobatics (杂技), martial arts, and mini-dramas. Robots served as drummers, waved glowing signs, and delivered humorous lines, bringing both amazement and laughter to the audience. The robotics sector in China is evolving rapidly. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, by 2025 China had over 140 humanoid robot makers releasing more than 330 models. Robots are transitioning from stage performers to daily companions. Jinan resident Wang Yan purchased an AI robot this Spring Festival. “It keeps our pets company, helps the children practice English, and chats with the elders,” she said. “It’s no longer just a toy. It’s becoming a long-term, evolving AI companion.” The integration of robots into festive celebrations reflects a broader trend: technology is no longer a distant concept but an increasingly familiar part of everyday life — even during the most traditional of holidays. 12. What is the main focus of the text? A. The history of the Spring Festival Gala. B. The rise of robot startups in China. C. The role of robots in Chinese New Year celebrations. D. The challenges of performing acrobatics with robots. 13. What can be inferred about the robots’ performance in Jiangxi? A. It replaced human dancers entirely. B. It was part of a show honoring historical technology. C. It received negative reviews from the audience. D. It was the first time robots performed in public. 14. What does Wang Yan’s experience suggest? A. Robots are too expensive for ordinary families. B. Robots are becoming integrated into daily home life. C. Robots can only perform simple tasks. D. Children prefer robots to human companions. 15. What does the text imply about the future of robots in China? A. They will replace traditional celebrations. B. Their development will slow down after 2025. C. They will be limited to industrial use. D. Their role in society is likely to expand. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了机器人在中国新年庆祝活动中扮演重要角色，并逐渐融入日常生活。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“From the national Spring Festival Gala to local cultural performances, humanoid robots (人形机器人) are making their presence felt across China during the New Year celebrations.(从全国春节联欢晚会到地方文化表演，人形机器人在中国各地的新年庆祝活动中都展现出了自己的风采)”可知，文章主要讲述了机器人在中国新年庆祝活动中的角色。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Beyond the main event, robots joined a dance drama in Jiangxi Province dedicated to Tiangong Kaiwu, a 17th-century Chinese encyclopedia of technology and industry.(除了主要活动外，机器人还参加了江西省的一个舞蹈剧，该剧是为了纪念17世纪的中国科技和工业百科全书《天工开物》)”可推断，机器人在江西的表演是纪念历史科技的一部分。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Jinan resident Wang Yan purchased an AI robot this Spring Festival. “It keeps our pets company, helps the children practice English, and chats with the elders,” she said. “It’s no longer just a toy.

This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online. ____16____ Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge. ____17____ For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand. ____18____ Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts. Additionally, humor humanizes scientists, as seen in popular science lectures where light-hearted jokes help audiences feel closer to researchers. ____19____ The hidden risks deserve our attention. If the content itself is untrue, humor can even replace facts, leading the audience to form wrong opinions about scientific knowledge just based on the amusing posts they see. Overusing sarcasm or negative humor also has the opposite effect, as it will quickly make scientists lose the public’s trust and damage their credibility. Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness. ____20____ Scientists who master this balance can effectively narrow the divide with the public, making science more welcoming and popular. A. Overuse harms professionalism. B. It also boosts audience engagement effectively. C. It helps break the impression of scientists being cold and distant. D. A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect. E. Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though. F. It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people. G. It is believed humor needs to be used with great care in such communication. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. B 19. E 20.

However, this tendency may bring ____21____ consequences. I learned this lesson during a hiking trip. As a beginner, I found the journey extremely ____22____. Even without carrying heavy equipment, I struggled to keep up with the group. Although I was slowing everyone down, I chose to remain ____23____, hoping others would not notice my difficulty. To my surprise, one of the more experienced hikers suggested taking a break. At that moment, I noticed a sense of ____24____ spreading among the group. It then became clear that I was not alone in ____25____ my discomfort. Many of us had been trying to present a stronger image than reality. For many people, being authentic — showing one’s true self — is far from ____26____. As social beings, we are used to adapting to our environment, which makes it difficult to ____27____ what we really think. We often assume that hiding our weaknesses will help us leave a more ____28____ impression on others. Yet both research and experience suggest otherwise. The ____29____ of authenticity are becoming increasingly apparent. In fact, studies show that authentic individuals not only feel more engaged but also help create a more supportive environment. Their behavior can gradually ____30____ the attitudes of those around them. Even people who do not intend to be authentic may begin to change. In this way, authenticity does not remain a personal quality but begins to ____31____ within a group, shaping the overall work atmosphere. One explanation for this effect is that authentic people do not place self-protection above everything else. ____32____, they try to balance their own needs and those of others, creating a sense of psychological safety. As a result, others feel ____33____ when sharing their true feelings. Over time, such an atmosphere encourages cooperation and openness. Therefore, by focusing less on appearing hardworking and more on becoming well-rounded individuals, we can make a lasting ____34____ in our environment. At the same time, we may inspire others to follow our ____35____. In the end, authenticity proves to be not a weakness, but a powerful strategy for building better relationships. 21.

The nearest supermarket is far from the community, so they can’t go out to buy food easily, especially when it rains or snows, and they have to stay at home. They also don’t have the strength to carry heavy things, and they often have to save food for several days, eating the same food every day. Some elderly people even have trouble cooking simple meals by themselves, and they can only eat some simple and cold food every day, which is not good for their health and often makes them feel unwell. They also don’t know how to use smart phones to make video calls with their children, so they can only miss their children silently every day. They often sit by the window, looking at the photos of their children and grandchildren for a long time, with tears in their eyes, and they often talk to the photos quietly, sharing their daily life. Some elderly people even have trouble turning on the lights at night or taking medicine on time, which often makes them anxious and helpless. They are afraid of getting sick and having no one to take care of them, and they often worry about being forgotten by their children. This situation made Liu Xin and her classmates very worried after they learned about it during their community volunteer work. One day, when Liu Xin and her classmates were doing volunteer work in the community, they learned about the difficult situation of these elderly people from the community staff. They felt sorry for the elderly and couldn’t bear to see them live such a hard and lonely life, so they decided to do something to help them. They discussed together and decided to set up a help team to take care of them. They made a detailed schedule, divided into several groups, and planned to take turns to visit the elderly every weekend, bringing them care and warmth to drive away their loneliness and help them solve their daily difficulties. Paragraph 1： Every weekend, Liu Xin and her classmates went to the elderly’s homes with fruits and daily necessities. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： Their kind actions influenced other residents in the community. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Paragraph 1： Every weekend, Liu Xin and her classmates went to the elderly’s homes with fruits and daily necessities. They helped the elderly buy vegetables, clean their houses and wash clothes. For the elderly who couldn’t use smart phones, they taught them how to make video calls with their children, check the weather and order takeout. They also sat with the elderly to chat, listen to their stories and sing songs for them. Grandma Wang, who lived alone, was very lonely. Liu Xin and her classmates visited her every week, and she gradually became cheerful. She often cooked delicious food for them and treated them as her own grandchildren. Paragraph 2： Their kind actions influenced other residents in the community. More and more people joined the help team, including young people and parents with children. The community became more and more warm. The elderly no longer felt lonely, and they could get help in time when they were in trouble. Liu Xin and her classmates felt very happy because they could help others. They realized that a small act of kindness can bring great warmth to others. This experience taught them to care about the elderly and take responsibility for society, passing on the virtue of respecting the elderly and helping others. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了刘欣所在社区里许多独居高龄老人面临多重生活困境。刘欣和同学在社区做志愿工作时了解到老人们的艰难处境后心生同情，最终共同商议组建帮扶小队，排班分工、周末轮流上门探望，为老人送去关怀与温暖，帮他们解决生活难题、排解孤独。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写帮扶老人地具体行动并举例说明帮扶活动对老人产生的积极影响。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写帮扶行动对整个社区带来的影响以及孩子们经过这段经历的感悟。 2.续写线索：采取行动帮助老人——老人变得开朗——对社区带来的影响——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①帮助：help/assist ②意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①令人愉快的：cheerful/pleasant ②孤独的：lonely/solitary 【点睛】[高分句型1] Grandma Wang, who lived alone, was very lonely.（运用了who引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] They realized that a small act of kindness can bring great warmth to others.（运用了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 $ 仁寿二中2023级高三英语模拟试卷 （试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用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。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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 Children with disorders of consciousness are fully dependent on caregivers for daily care such as hydration (补水), nutrition, washing and dressing. However, there is a shortage of tools to evaluate consciousness for children aged 2 to 18. Neurodevelopmental changes with age further complicate the assessment of children’s awareness. To address this problem, researchers from Anglia Ruskin University. The Children’s Trust and Temple University have created the MuSICCA tool. It uses musical stimulation to help children demonstrate their level of consciousness. Specially selected music is performed live by a qualified music therapist, who adjusts the music based on the child’s responses to maximize their chance to show their abilities. The therapist observes and records the child’s behaviour using standard scales, and MuSICCA then generates a diagnosis of their consciousness level. In the study, researchers invited music therapists, families of brain-injured children and healthcare professionals to evaluate the tool. After demonstration and Q&A sessions, participants rated two statements about MuSICCA: whether it assesses consciousness, and whether it is suitable for children and young people. They also commented on its strengths and weaknesses. All participants agreed with the two statements, with 85% strongly agreeing with each. Lead author Dr Jonathan Pool stated that children with consciousness disorders rely on others to interpret their subtle behaviour, and reliable assessment tools are urgently needed. MuSICCA enables rigorous assessment of responses to musical stimuli, clearly showing the child’s consciousness level and response patterns. The results are easy to share with care and medical teams and help families understand how to support their child’s recovery. The study confirms that MuSICCA is a suitable and comprehensive assessment method, with advantages for providing guidance, engaging caregivers and assisting clinical teams. 4. What problem are children with disorders of consciousness faced with? A. They need help with daily care. B. They cannot get proper medical treatment. C. Their consciousness is hard to assess. D. Their development is affected by age. 5. How does the MuSICCA tool work? A. It asks children to make music. B. It uses pre-recorded music to test children. C. It depends on parents to report behaviour. D. It changes music based on a child’s reactions. 6. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. Who was invited to take part. B. How the evaluation was conducted. C. Why different experts were needed. D. What opinions participants held. 7. What does Dr Jonathan Pool’s statement suggest about MuSICCA? A. It aids children’s treatment and healing. B. All participants agreed it was effective. C. It can replace caregivers’ observations. D. Caregivers need to learn how to use it. C You are in a quiet room, trying to focus on an important report. Yet a short piece of melody keeps circling in your mind, refusing to leave. This phenomenon, known as an “earworm,” may be more than just an annoyance — it reveals something about how our brains work. Researchers suggest that earworms may arise from a type of withdrawal response to the absence of music. When we desire music but cannot hear it, our brains may generate their own internal melodies, leading to an earworm. Studies show that earworms are more likely to occur with songs heard frequently or recently. In one experiment, participants listened to an unfamiliar song either two or six times. Over the following three days, researchers contacted them at random intervals. About one-third reported having the song stuck in their heads at the time of contact. The effect was stronger for those who had heard the song six times and was most common the day after exposure. Once an earworm takes hold, it does more than just bother us — it invades our working memory. Working memory is the cognitive system that holds and processes information in the short term. When a song is stuck in our heads, it occupies valuable space in this system, making it harder to recall other information accurately. The more familiar the song, the greater the interference. So how can we get rid of an unwanted earworm? A surprisingly simple solution may be chewing gum. Part of our working memory relies on the “inner voice,” which involves tiny, unconscious movements of the throat muscles. Chewing gum engages these same muscles, potentially disrupting the mental loop of the earworm and helping it fade away. 8. What is the main cause of earworms according to the text? A. Lack of sleep. B. Overuse of social media. C. A desire for music without hearing it. D. Exposure to loud environments. 9. What did the experiment in paragraph 3 reveal? A. Frequent listening increases the chance of earworms. B. Earworms disappear completely after three days. C. Unfamiliar songs never become earworms. D. Earworms only occur during sleep. 10. How do earworms affect cognitive performance? A. They improve long-term memory. B. They reduce the capacity of working memory. C. They help focus attention on tasks. D. They increase creativity. 11. Why might chewing gum help stop an earworm? A. It distracts the brain with a new sound. B. It relaxes the entire body. C. It occupies the throat muscles used by the “inner voice.” D. It releases chemicals that calm the brain. D From the national Spring Festival Gala to local cultural performances, humanoid robots (人形机器人) are making their presence felt across China during the New Year celebrations. Their appearances signal how deeply technology is becoming woven into the fabric of tradition. At the Spring Festival Gala, four leading robot startups demonstrated advanced capabilities, with robots performing alongside human dancers. Beyond the main event, robots joined a dance drama in Jiangxi Province dedicated to Tiangong Kaiwu, a 17th-century Chinese encyclopedia of technology and industry. “The performance shows respect to technology, and the robots amazed us again,” said audience member Hu Jingchen. In Shandong Province, a special gala hosted by the local robotics industry association featured over 200 robots and robotic dogs in 19 programs, including acrobatics (杂技), martial arts, and mini-dramas. Robots served as drummers, waved glowing signs, and delivered humorous lines, bringing both amazement and laughter to the audience. The robotics sector in China is evolving rapidly. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, by 2025 China had over 140 humanoid robot makers releasing more than 330 models. Robots are transitioning from stage performers to daily companions. Jinan resident Wang Yan purchased an AI robot this Spring Festival. “It keeps our pets company, helps the children practice English, and chats with the elders,” she said. “It’s no longer just a toy. It’s becoming a long-term, evolving AI companion.” The integration of robots into festive celebrations reflects a broader trend: technology is no longer a distant concept but an increasingly familiar part of everyday life — even during the most traditional of holidays. 12. What is the main focus of the text? A. The history of the Spring Festival Gala. B. The rise of robot startups in China. C. The role of robots in Chinese New Year celebrations. D. The challenges of performing acrobatics with robots. 13. What can be inferred about the robots’ performance in Jiangxi? A. It replaced human dancers entirely. B. It was part of a show honoring historical technology. C. It received negative reviews from the audience. D. It was the first time robots performed in public. 14. What does Wang Yan’s experience suggest? A. Robots are too expensive for ordinary families. B. Robots are becoming integrated into daily home life. C. Robots can only perform simple tasks. D. Children prefer robots to human companions. 15. What does the text imply about the future of robots in China? A. They will replace traditional celebrations. B.

This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online. ____16____ Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge. ____17____ For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand. ____18____ Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts. Additionally, humor humanizes scientists, as seen in popular science lectures where light-hearted jokes help audiences feel closer to researchers. ____19____ The hidden risks deserve our attention. If the content itself is untrue, humor can even replace facts, leading the audience to form wrong opinions about scientific knowledge just based on the amusing posts they see. Overusing sarcasm or negative humor also has the opposite effect, as it will quickly make scientists lose the public’s trust and damage their credibility. Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness. ____20____ Scientists who master this balance can effectively narrow the divide with the public, making science more welcoming and popular. A. Overuse harms professionalism. B. It also boosts audience engagement effectively. C. It helps break the impression of scientists being cold and distant. D. A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect. E. Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though. F. It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people. G. It is believed humor needs to be used with great care in such communication. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 With society placing increasing pressure on achievement, it is understandable that people tend to hide their weaknesses.

The nearest supermarket is far from the community, so they can’t go out to buy food easily, especially when it rains or snows, and they have to stay at home. They also don’t have the strength to carry heavy things, and they often have to save food for several days, eating the same food every day. Some elderly people even have trouble cooking simple meals by themselves, and they can only eat some simple and cold food every day, which is not good for their health and often makes them feel unwell. They also don’t know how to use smart phones to make video calls with their children, so they can only miss their children silently every day. They often sit by the window, looking at the photos of their children and grandchildren for a long time, with tears in their eyes, and they often talk to the photos quietly, sharing their daily life. Some elderly people even have trouble turning on the lights at night or taking medicine on time, which often makes them anxious and helpless. They are afraid of getting sick and having no one to take care of them, and they often worry about being forgotten by their children. This situation made Liu Xin and her classmates very worried after they learned about it during their community volunteer work. One day, when Liu Xin and her classmates were doing volunteer work in the community, they learned about the difficult situation of these elderly people from the community staff. They felt sorry for the elderly and couldn’t bear to see them live such a hard and lonely life, so they decided to do something to help them. They discussed together and decided to set up a help team to take care of them. They made a detailed schedule, divided into several groups, and planned to take turns to visit the elderly every weekend, bringing them care and warmth to drive away their loneliness and help them solve their daily difficulties. Paragraph 1： Every weekend, Liu Xin and her classmates went to the elderly’s homes with fruits and daily necessities. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： Their kind actions influenced other residents in the community. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
