Over ten short chapters the author explains its global spread, starting with the origin of English and finishing with an overview of how the language looks today, including its use in an increasingly digital world. Purrieties of Language After ruling the Internet, cats are now taking on linguistics (语言学)! Through cat-inspired varieties of language, we have developed a range of cat-inspired vocabulary-we take their identities as we post, write, talk, and chat on social media. This book provides linguistic analysis of the online “Cativerse”. Each chapter explores a different sociolinguistic phenomenon, drawing on fun and engaging examples across various platforms. Language Science This accessible guide offers practical advice on how to talk about language to a range of non-professionals. It draws on the linguistics behind effective communication to help have cooperative conversations. It is illustrated with a wealth of interesting real-life examples enabling you to make your own interesting language science activities to share with others. The Babel Lexicon of Language This book is an enjoyable introduction to the key terms involved in the study of language. It defines over 500 terms and uses present-day language examples to explain difficult issues in an easy-to-understand manner. Authored by the expert editorial team behind Babel, the popular language magazine, and assuming no knowledge of linguistics, this book is an invaluable resource for students, teachers and anyone with an interest in language. 1. What is The Long Journey of English centered on? A. The English word usage. B. The roots of English. C. Different forms of English. D. The development of English. 2. What do Purrieties of Language and Language Science have in common? A. They provide fun language examples. B. They analyze online language trends. C. They offer tips on language strategies. D. They introduce theories in communication. 3. What is special about The Babel Lexicon of Language? A. It is written by native speakers. B. It deals with language examples. C.

As the founder of Farmer Lifeline Technologies (FLT), she has applied artificial intelligence (AI) to fight against crop pests (害虫) and diseases, significantly reducing losses for rural farmers. Kimani’s journey began in a small Kenyan village on the Aberdare Mountains. Witnessing first-hand the severe impact of pests and diseases on their crops — and consequently, their income — she understood early how agricultural losses could mean unmet basic needs like school fees and healthcare. Despite these challenges, Kimani became the first girl from her village to attend university, studying computer science. It was there that she recognized the potential of technology to solve rural farmers’ struggles, and that’s how FLT was born. In Kenya alone, 7.5 million smallholder farmers lose up to 50% of their yields (产量) to pests and diseases annually — losses that could feed millions. Traditional solutions like hiring agricultural consultants or using drones (无人机) are too expensive. To solve this critical issue, she developed an AI-powered camera, which is set up on farms at no upfront cost. It scans crops continuously and warns farmers through Short Message Service (SMS) when pests or diseases are detected. A key focus for Kimani is supporting women farmers, who make up 43% of the agricultural labor force in developing nations, but who often lack access to technology. “Men in rural communities tend to have smartphones, while women rely on basic feature phones,” she notes. “Through SMS, we ensure women aren’t left behind.” Kimani’s innovation has already impacted thousands of farmers, 78% of whom have reported a yield increase of over 36%. Her team aims to reach 200 thousand farms across the country within 5 years. For Kimani, success in 2030 means seeing 200 thousand smallholder farmers living with dignity — affording education, healthcare, and financial stability through improved yields. Kimani is not just building a company; she’s reshaping the future of African agriculture. 4. Why did Kimani establish FLT? A. To fund rural farmers. B. To expand AI industry. C. To decrease crop losses. D. To research crop varieties. 5. How does the AI camera assist farmers? A. By linking them to consultants. B. By sending them early warnings. C. By using drones to monitor crops. D. By driving pests away automatically. 6. What is an advantage of Kimani’s innovation? A. Equal accessibility. B. Easy maintenance. C. Enormous food storage. D. Personalized service. 7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Financial plans affect agriculture. B. Kimani will afford further education. C. African agriculture will emerge as a leader. D. Kimani’s creativity fuels a promising future. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了农业科技先驱Esther Kimani创立FLT，利用AI技术帮助非洲农民应对病虫害、减少损失，并通过短信预警系统确保技术普及，旨在改善农民生计。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Witnessing first-hand the severe impact of pests and diseases on their crops — and consequently, their income — she understood early how agricultural losses could mean unmet basic needs like school fees and healthcare. (亲眼目睹了病虫害对他们的农作物造成的严重损害——以及由此带来的收入损失——她很快便明白了农业方面的损失意味着诸如学费和医疗费用等基本需求无法得到满足。)”和“It was there that she recognized the potential of technology to solve rural farmers’ struggles, and that’s how FLT was born. (正是在那里，她意识到科技能够解决农村农民所面临的困境，于是FLT就此诞生。)”可知，Kimani创立FLT是为了应用AI对抗病虫害，从而减少农作物损失。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To solve this critical issue, she developed an AI-powered camera, which is set up on farms at no upfront cost. It scans crops continuously and warns farmers through Short Message Service (SMS) when pests or diseases are detected. (为解决这一关键问题，她研发了一款由人工智能驱动的摄像头，该摄像头安装在农场内，无需预先支付费用。它能够持续扫描农作物，并在检测到害虫或疾病时通过短信向农民发出警报。)”可知，AI摄像头通过提前向农民发出警报起到帮助。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“A key focus for Kimani is supporting women farmers, who make up 43% of the agricultural labor force in developing nations, but who often lack access to technology. (Kimani的重点工作之一是为女性农民提供支持。在发展中国家，女性农民占农业劳动力的43%，但她们往往无法获得相关技术。)”和“Through SMS, we ensure women aren’t left behind. (通过短信服务，我们确保女性不被落下。)”可知，Kimani的创新特别考虑了技术获取的公平性，确保使用功能手机的女性农民也能受益。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“For Kimani, success in 2030 means seeing 200 thousand smallholder farmers living with dignity — affording education, healthcare, and financial stability through improved yields. Kimani is not just building a company; she’s reshaping the future of African agriculture. (对于Kimani而言，到2030年取得成功意味着要让20万小规模农户能够过上体面的生活——通过提高产量来获得更好的收益，从而能够享有教育、医疗和经济上的稳定保障。Kimani不仅在打造一家公司，她还在重塑非洲农业的未来。)”可知，这里描述了Kimani的宏伟目标以及超越商业的愿景，暗示她的创造力正在为非洲的美好未来注入活力。 C In a village in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (刚果金), Marie Mbenza always goes to her field at daybreak, tending her half-acre plot. But getting her harvest to market is as unpredictable as the weather. Sometimes her tomatoes go bad before they reach town, a daily reality for small-scale farmers. The global food systems are more fragile (脆弱的) than many realize. Marie is one of the farmers living through a quiet food crisis. A major report, the Resilient Food Systems Index (粮食系统韧性指数) from Economist Impact, first published in March 2026, puts numbers to her struggle. The index ranks 60 countries on how well they can handle shocks: extreme weather, sudden price increases and supply chain breakdowns. The findings reveal a deeply divided world. Marie’s country comes last, scoring 34.86 out of 100, while Portugal ranks first. There is about a 42-point gap between the weakest food system and the strongest. Nearly half of all countries fall into a “middle zone”. Not collapsing, but far from secure. For millions like Marie, what ends up on the dinner plate depends on forces far beyond their control. One of the biggest problems in the food system is infrastructure (基础设施). The global score for transportation and delivery systems was just 56.8. This matters because when roads are bad and storage is poor, food gets lost. Worldwide, 13.2% of food never reaches store shelves. Climate risks make things worse. The ability to respond to climate shocks scored just 56.4. While research into climate-friendly farming scored relatively well, the ability to actually help farmers put that research into practice averaged only 34. Food prices have risen fastest in low-income countries, up 23.1% over the past five years. The report points to a path forward to close divides across the world plate: better infrastructure, climate action, and making nutritious food affordable. We know what works. But the question is whether the world can move fast enough to fill the plate. 8. Why does the author begin with Marie Mbenza’s story? A. To prove the changeable weather. B. To make food crisis easy to feel. C. To show small farms are unreliable. D. To introduce a struggling farmer. 9. What is Portugal’s most likely score on the Resilient Food Systems Index? A. 34.86. B. 56.4. C. 56.8. D. 76.83. 10. What can we know about climate-friendly farming research? A. It scores well but reaches limited farmers. B. It has been overlooked by the report. C. It is the main cause of food price increases. D. It is widely applied in poor countries. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Crisis of Climate B. A Guide to Green Farming C. A Farmer’s Confusion D. The World’s Divided Plate 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了以刚果农民玛丽的困境为例，通过 2026 年粮食系统韧性指数报告，揭示全球粮食系统脆弱且差距悬殊，并指明了可行的改善方向。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In a village in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (刚果金), Marie Mbenza always goes to her field at daybreak, tending her half-acre plot. But getting her harvest to market is as unpredictable as the weather. Sometimes her tomatoes go bad before they reach town, a daily reality for small-scale farmers. The global food systems are more fragile (脆弱的) than many realize. ( 在刚果民主共和国的一个村庄里，玛丽·姆贝扎总是天一亮就去她的农田劳作，照料着她那半英亩大小的农田。但她的农产品运往市场的过程却如同天气一样难以预测。有时她的西红柿在到达城镇之前就已经腐烂了，这是小规模农户每天都要面对的现实。全球的粮食系统比许多人所意识到的还要脆弱。)”可知，作者以玛丽·姆贝扎的故事开篇，随后引出“全球粮食系统比许多人意识到的更脆弱”以及“一场无声的粮食危机”这一核心主题，其目的是为了让人更容易感受到粮食危机。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Marie’s country comes last, scoring 34.86 out of 100, while Portugal ranks first. There is about a 42-point gap between the weakest food system and the strongest. Nearly half of all countries fall into a “middle zone”. Not collapsing, but far from secure. (玛丽所在的国家排名垫底，得分为34.86分（满分100分），而葡萄牙则位居榜首。最差的食品体系与最好的体系之间存在约42分的差距。几乎一半的国家都处于“中间地带”——既没有崩溃，但也远未达到安全状态。)”可知，参照原文数据计算，排名第一的葡萄牙得分约为 34.86 + 42 = 76.86，选项 D（76.83）与计算结果最为接近。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“While research into climate-friendly farming scored relatively well, the ability to actually help farmers put that research into practice averaged only 34. (虽然对气候友好型农业的研究表现相对较好，但实际帮助农民将这些研究成果付诸实践的能力平均仅为 34%。)”可知，气候友好型农业研究本身得分较高，但将研究成果转化为农民实际应用的能力却非常低（仅 34 分），这意味着研究成果惠及的农民非常有限。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章核心围绕“全球粮食系统存在巨大差距”展开：一方面是排名第一的葡萄牙，另一方面是排名最后的刚果（金），近一半国家处于“中间地带”，既不崩溃也不安全。标题中的“Divided”（分裂的）精准概括了这一核心矛盾，“Plate”（餐盘）则形象地代指粮食系统，既贴切又有深度。由此可知，D选项The World’s Divided Plate“世界分裂的餐盘”适合作为文章的标题。 D For years, biologists have wondered why many water animals swim in short bursts, which are sudden, energetic movements that last only a moment, followed by long pauses (停顿). The common explanation is that such pauses allow the animals to glide (滑行), reducing drag and saving energy. But is it the case? Researchers at EPFL in Switzerland built ZBot, a robot fish that perfectly copies the shape, movement, and swimming style of a young zebrafish (斑马鱼). Then they ran experiments. They made ZBot swim without stopping in some tests, and in burst-and-glide patterns in others. They measured everything. The results surprised them. Gliding did save energy, but not for the reason they had expected. When the robot swam in bursts, its motor worked harder for short periods and then shut off completely during glides. When swimming without stopping, the motor ran all the time at medium power. The motor, it turned out, was more efficient when working in short, strong bursts. The researchers called this “actuator efficiency”. It indicates how well a motor turns energy into useful work. The discovery matters far beyond zebrafish. Electric motors, such as those in factory robots, drones, or electric cars, face the same challenge. Most are built to run all the time at steady speeds. But ZBot suggests that starting and stopping, if timed right, could make batteries last longer and use less energy in many different machines. “This isn’t just about fish,” one researcher said. “It’s about rethinking how we build machines that move.” There are problems, of course. The robot is small, and its movements are simple. Making it bigger will take time. But the idea that starting and stopping can sometimes work better than running all the time challenges a long-held belief in engineering. What looks like a waste in nature, like all those pauses in swimming, often turns out to be wisdom we haven’t yet learned to understand. 12. Why did researchers build ZBot? A. To create a new robotic tool. B. To catch the real zebrafish. C. To copy the shape of zebrafish. D. To test an idea on swimming. 13. What did the researchers find out about the motor of ZBot? A. It continued working during glides. B. It worked better in short, strong bursts. C. It broke down when running non-stop. D. It failed to turn energy into useful work. 14. What is mentioned about the experiment in paragraph 5? A. Its process. B. Its application. C. Its limitations. D. Its principles. 15. What does the author try to illustrate in the last paragraph? A. Nature has lessons we have missed. B. Nature’s wisdom is understandable. C. Nature wastes energy in many ways. D. Nature’s designs are far from perfect. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了科学家研制机器鱼探究水生动物间歇游动的原因，发现短时间歇运转更节能。该结论可优化各类电机设备，也启示人们自然中藏有未被发现的智慧。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“For years, biologists have wondered why many water animals swim in short bursts, which are sudden, energetic movements that last only a moment, followed by long pauses (停顿). The common explanation is that such pauses allow the animals to glide (滑行), reducing drag and saving energy. But is it the case?(多年来，生物学家一直对许多水生动物短时间快速游动的原因感到困惑。这种游动方式是突然且充满活力的，持续时间很短，随后便是长时间的停顿。通常的解释是，这种停顿能让动物滑行，从而减少阻力并节省能量。但事实果真如此吗？)”可知，研究人员构建ZBot是为了测试关于游泳的某个想法。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The motor, it turned out, was more efficient when working in short, strong bursts.(结果发现，该电动机在进行短时间高强度工作时效率更高)”可知，ZBot的电机效果在短促而强烈的爆发中表现得更为显著。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“There are problems, of course. The robot is small, and its movements are simple. Making it bigger will take time. But the idea that starting and stopping can sometimes work better than running all the time challenges a long-held belief in engineering.(当然，这其中也存在一些问题。这个机器人体积较小，动作也较为简单。要将其做大需要一定时间。但这种观点——即有时停止和启动的效果可能比一直运行更好——挑战了工程领域长期以来的固有观念)”可知，第五段中提到了关于该实验的局限性。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“What looks like a waste in nature, like all those pauses in swimming, often turns out to be wisdom we haven’t yet learned to understand.(在自然界中看似无用的现象，比如游泳时的那些停顿动作，往往其实蕴含着我们尚未领悟的智慧)”可知，作者在最后一段想要表达的是自然界存在着我们未曾领悟的奥秘。 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。 Self-reflection is a mindful practice of turning your attention inward to observe your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

What 39. cutting 40. and 41. an 42. China’s 43. was attacked 44. where 45. despite 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍热播剧《生万物》取材于青海反盗猎英雄的真实事迹，讲述可可西里藏羚羊保护工作的艰险以及环保守护者的奉献与牺牲。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：热播电视剧《生万物》取材于青海真实的反盗猎英雄，让人们再次关注这场守护藏羚羊的艰难斗争。固定搭配the fight to do sth.意为“为做某事而进行的斗争”，所以使用protect的不定式形式to protect作后置定语。 【37题详解】 考查形容词。句意：在该剧的开篇片段中，一名女警和一名山地巡逻员在深夜停下卡车，担心自己意外撞到了藏羚羊。此处修饰名词collision，需用形容词，accident的形容词形式为accidental意为“意外的”。 【38题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：映入眼帘的景象令他们无比震惊，一群藏羚羊惨遭猎杀，尸体散落于冰封的土地上。此处引导主语从句，从句中缺少主语，指代事物，用连接代词what，位于句首，首字母需大写。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：突然，六辆卡车的车灯骤然亮起，光束划破黑夜。此处为独立主格结构，逻辑主语beams与cut为主动关系，用现在分词cutting。 【40题详解】 考查连词。句意：枪声四起，随后巡逻员倒在血泊之中。前后分句为顺承并列关系，用并列连词and连接。 【41题详解】 考查冠词。句意：索南达杰是一名藏族干部，返乡担任公职，并在1992年组建了中国第一支武装反盗猎队伍。ethnic Tibetan为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，所以此处使用冠词，结合句意，此处表泛指，ethnic以元音音素开头，用不定冠词an。 【42题详解】 考查名词所有格。句意：索南达杰是一名藏族干部，返乡担任公职，并在1992年组建了中国第一支武装反盗猎队伍。此处修饰名词team，需用名词所有格表示所属关系，所以使用China的所有格形式China’s。 【43题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：1994年，他在押送被捕盗猎分子的途中遭到袭击。此处为谓语动词，时间状语In 1994表过去，主语he与attack为被动关系，用一般过去时的被动语态，且主语为第三人场单数，所以谓语动词为was attacked。 【44题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：在一场独自对抗十八名歹徒的激烈枪战过后，他中弹牺牲。此处引导定语从句，先行词为gunfight，表抽象地点，从句中缺少地点状语，用关系副词where。 【45题详解】 考查介词。句意：他牺牲后，扎巴多杰重新整编队伍，并将其命名为“野牦牛队”，这个名字寓意：牦牛本是性情温顺的动物，可一旦领地遭到侵犯，便会无畏奋起反抗。此空位于句首，无提示词，空后为名词，所以此处为介词，结合句意，此处表示让步关系，意为“尽管；虽然”，用介词despite。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，校英文报就食堂午餐时段播放的电视节目类型向同学们征求意见，可供选择的有“时事新闻类”和“音乐类”。请你给编辑写一封邮件发表你的意见，内容包括：（1）你的选择；（2）你的理由。 注意： （1）词数80左右； （2）可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Editor, I’m writing to share my thoughts about the TV programs played during lunchtime in the canteen.

Ever since she was little, she had dreamed of becoming an artist, and every brushstroke she made was filled with love. For months, she had been working on a special painting for the district art competition. It was her most precious piece, full of her hope and effort — a vibrant landscape of the park where she used to walk with her grandfather. She kept it carefully in her schoolbag, planning to hand it in the next day, her heart fluttering with anticipation. That afternoon, her deskmate Ethan noticed that she was anxiously searching everywhere for her notebook, so he offered to help her look for it. In his eagerness to assist, he accidentally knocked the painting onto the floor in his hurry. Worse still, before either of them could react, a cup of coffee that Sophia had left on the corner of the desk was knocked over, and the dark liquid poured directly onto the painting. The colors ran, the paper soaked through, and the beautiful scene was badly ruined beyond repair. Seeing her months of hard work destroyed in an instant, Sophia felt as if her heart had been torn apart. Her face turned red with anger and she shouted at Ethan, her voice shaking. She accused him of being thoughtless and careless, and told him she never wanted to talk to him again. Ethan stood frozen, his face pale with shock and guilt. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. He felt extremely sorry, but he didn’t know how to make it right. For days, they didn’t speak to each other. The classroom felt cold and empty without their usual laughter, and their friendship was in deep trouble. At night, Sophia stared at the ruined painting, feeling a mixture of sadness and regret. She missed Ethan’s jokes, his help with homework, and the way he always cheered her up. But her pride kept her from reaching out. 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。 The next morning, Ethan showed up in front of Sophia with a nervous look. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tears came to Sophia’s eyes as she truly understood Ethan’s kindness. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next morning, Ethan showed up in front of Sophia with a nervous look. He held out a crumpled piece of paper, his hands trembling, and said he had stayed up all night trying to redraw her painting as best as he could. The landscape was not as vibrant as the original, but every stroke was full of regret and sincerity. He kept apologizing, saying he knew nothing could make up for her lost work, but he hoped this small effort could show how sorry he was. Tears came to Sophia’s eyes as she truly understood Ethan’s kindness. She took the painting gently, touching the rough brushstrokes, and realized she had been too stubborn to see his regret. She hugged Ethan tightly, saying she was also sorry for shouting at him. They promised to never let a small mistake ruin their precious friendship, and Sophia decided to redo the painting with Ethan’s help, turning the regret into a beautiful memory. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Sophia和Ethan的友谊为线索展开，讲述了热爱绘画的Sophia为艺术比赛精心准备的画作，被热心帮忙的同桌Ethan意外损坏，两人发生争执、关系破裂，Sophia既伤心又后悔，而Ethan心怀愧疚，试图弥补的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Ethan 为弥补过错所做的努力，展示自己模仿的Sophia的画作，并作出真诚道歉。 ②由第二段首句内容 可知，第二段可描写 Sophia放下骄傲，接受道歉，两人和解，重拾友谊。 2.续写线索：Ethan呈现自己的仿作 —— Ethan真诚道歉 —— Sophia看到诚意 ——Sophia认真看着Ethan的仿作 —— 两人和解 —— 重拾友谊，共绘画作 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拿出：hold out / take out / fetch out ②努力做某事：try to do sth / make one’s effort to do sth / take pains to do sth/ work hard at ③道歉：apologize / say sorry / express his sincere remorse 情绪类 ①温柔地/轻轻地：gently / tenderly / delicately ②珍贵的：precious / cherished / treasured 【点睛】[高分句型 1].

Over ten short chapters the author explains its global spread, starting with the origin of English and finishing with an overview of how the language looks today, including its use in an increasingly digital world. Purrieties of Language After ruling the Internet, cats are now taking on linguistics (语言学)! Through cat-inspired varieties of language, we have developed a range of cat-inspired vocabulary-we take their identities as we post, write, talk, and chat on social media. This book provides linguistic analysis of the online “Cativerse”. Each chapter explores a different sociolinguistic phenomenon, drawing on fun and engaging examples across various platforms. Language Science This accessible guide offers practical advice on how to talk about language to a range of non-professionals. It draws on the linguistics behind effective communication to help have cooperative conversations. It is illustrated with a wealth of interesting real-life examples enabling you to make your own interesting language science activities to share with others. The Babel Lexicon of Language This book is an enjoyable introduction to the key terms involved in the study of language. It defines over 500 terms and uses present-day language examples to explain difficult issues in an easy-to-understand manner. Authored by the expert editorial team behind Babel, the popular language magazine, and assuming no knowledge of linguistics, this book is an invaluable resource for students, teachers and anyone with an interest in language. 1.

It is intended for advanced learners. D. It makes difficult issues accessible. B Esther Kimani, a pioneer in agritech, is changing the lives of farmers across Africa. As the founder of Farmer Lifeline Technologies (FLT), she has applied artificial intelligence (AI) to fight against crop pests (害虫) and diseases, significantly reducing losses for rural farmers. Kimani’s journey began in a small Kenyan village on the Aberdare Mountains. Witnessing first-hand the severe impact of pests and diseases on their crops — and consequently, their income — she understood early how agricultural losses could mean unmet basic needs like school fees and healthcare. Despite these challenges, Kimani became the first girl from her village to attend university, studying computer science. It was there that she recognized the potential of technology to solve rural farmers’ struggles, and that’s how FLT was born. In Kenya alone, 7.5 million smallholder farmers lose up to 50% of their yields (产量) to pests and diseases annually — losses that could feed millions. Traditional solutions like hiring agricultural consultants or using drones (无人机) are too expensive. To solve this critical issue, she developed an AI-powered camera, which is set up on farms at no upfront cost. It scans crops continuously and warns farmers through Short Message Service (SMS) when pests or diseases are detected. A key focus for Kimani is supporting women farmers, who make up 43% of the agricultural labor force in developing nations, but who often lack access to technology. “Men in rural communities tend to have smartphones, while women rely on basic feature phones,” she notes. “Through SMS, we ensure women aren’t left behind.” Kimani’s innovation has already impacted thousands of farmers, 78% of whom have reported a yield increase of over 36%. Her team aims to reach 200 thousand farms across the country within 5 years. For Kimani, success in 2030 means seeing 200 thousand smallholder farmers living with dignity — affording education, healthcare, and financial stability through improved yields. Kimani is not just building a company; she’s reshaping the future of African agriculture. 4. Why did Kimani establish FLT? A. To fund rural farmers. B. To expand AI industry. C. To decrease crop losses. D. To research crop varieties. 5. How does the AI camera assist farmers? A. By linking them to consultants. B. By sending them early warnings. C. By using drones to monitor crops. D. By driving pests away automatically. 6. What is an advantage of Kimani’s innovation? A. Equal accessibility. B. Easy maintenance. C. Enormous food storage. D. Personalized service. 7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Financial plans affect agriculture. B. Kimani will afford further education. C. African agriculture will emerge as a leader. D. Kimani’s creativity fuels a promising future. C In a village in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (刚果金), Marie Mbenza always goes to her field at daybreak, tending her half-acre plot. But getting her harvest to market is as unpredictable as the weather. Sometimes her tomatoes go bad before they reach town, a daily reality for small-scale farmers. The global food systems are more fragile (脆弱的) than many realize. Marie is one of the farmers living through a quiet food crisis. A major report, the Resilient Food Systems Index (粮食系统韧性指数) from Economist Impact, first published in March 2026, puts numbers to her struggle. The index ranks 60 countries on how well they can handle shocks: extreme weather, sudden price increases and supply chain breakdowns. The findings reveal a deeply divided world. Marie’s country comes last, scoring 34.86 out of 100, while Portugal ranks first. There is about a 42-point gap between the weakest food system and the strongest. Nearly half of all countries fall into a “middle zone”. Not collapsing, but far from secure. For millions like Marie, what ends up on the dinner plate depends on forces far beyond their control. One of the biggest problems in the food system is infrastructure (基础设施). The global score for transportation and delivery systems was just 56.8. This matters because when roads are bad and storage is poor, food gets lost. Worldwide, 13.2% of food never reaches store shelves. Climate risks make things worse. The ability to respond to climate shocks scored just 56.4. While research into climate-friendly farming scored relatively well, the ability to actually help farmers put that research into practice averaged only 34. Food prices have risen fastest in low-income countries, up 23.1% over the past five years. The report points to a path forward to close divides across the world plate: better infrastructure, climate action, and making nutritious food affordable. We know what works. But the question is whether the world can move fast enough to fill the plate. 8. Why does the author begin with Marie Mbenza’s story? A. To prove the changeable weather. B. To make food crisis easy to feel. C. To show small farms are unreliable. D. To introduce a struggling farmer. 9. What is Portugal’s most likely score on the Resilient Food Systems Index? A. 34.86. B. 56.4. C. 56.8. D. 76.83. 10. What can we know about climate-friendly farming research? A. It scores well but reaches limited farmers. B. It has been overlooked by the report. C. It is the main cause of food price increases. D. It is widely applied in poor countries. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Crisis of Climate B. A Guide to Green Farming C. A Farmer’s Confusion D. The World’s Divided Plate D For years, biologists have wondered why many water animals swim in short bursts, which are sudden, energetic movements that last only a moment, followed by long pauses (停顿). The common explanation is that such pauses allow the animals to glide (滑行), reducing drag and saving energy. But is it the case? Researchers at EPFL in Switzerland built ZBot, a robot fish that perfectly copies the shape, movement, and swimming style of a young zebrafish (斑马鱼). Then they ran experiments. They made ZBot swim without stopping in some tests, and in burst-and-glide patterns in others. They measured everything. The results surprised them. Gliding did save energy, but not for the reason they had expected. When the robot swam in bursts, its motor worked harder for short periods and then shut off completely during glides. When swimming without stopping, the motor ran all the time at medium power. The motor, it turned out, was more efficient when working in short, strong bursts. The researchers called this “actuator efficiency”. It indicates how well a motor turns energy into useful work. The discovery matters far beyond zebrafish. Electric motors, such as those in factory robots, drones, or electric cars, face the same challenge. Most are built to run all the time at steady speeds. But ZBot suggests that starting and stopping, if timed right, could make batteries last longer and use less energy in many different machines. “This isn’t just about fish,” one researcher said. “It’s about rethinking how we build machines that move.” There are problems, of course. The robot is small, and its movements are simple. Making it bigger will take time. But the idea that starting and stopping can sometimes work better than running all the time challenges a long-held belief in engineering. What looks like a waste in nature, like all those pauses in swimming, often turns out to be wisdom we haven’t yet learned to understand. 12. Why did researchers build ZBot? A. To create a new robotic tool. B. To catch the real zebrafish. C. To copy the shape of zebrafish. D. To test an idea on swimming. 13. What did the researchers find out about the motor of ZBot? A. It continued working during glides. B. It worked better in short, strong bursts. C. It broke down when running non-stop. D. It failed to turn energy into useful work. 14.

Ever since she was little, she had dreamed of becoming an artist, and every brushstroke she made was filled with love. For months, she had been working on a special painting for the district art competition. It was her most precious piece, full of her hope and effort — a vibrant landscape of the park where she used to walk with her grandfather. She kept it carefully in her schoolbag, planning to hand it in the next day, her heart fluttering with anticipation. That afternoon, her deskmate Ethan noticed that she was anxiously searching everywhere for her notebook, so he offered to help her look for it. In his eagerness to assist, he accidentally knocked the painting onto the floor in his hurry. Worse still, before either of them could react, a cup of coffee that Sophia had left on the corner of the desk was knocked over, and the dark liquid poured directly onto the painting. The colors ran, the paper soaked through, and the beautiful scene was badly ruined beyond repair. Seeing her months of hard work destroyed in an instant, Sophia felt as if her heart had been torn apart. Her face turned red with anger and she shouted at Ethan, her voice shaking. She accused him of being thoughtless and careless, and told him she never wanted to talk to him again. Ethan stood frozen, his face pale with shock and guilt. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. He felt extremely sorry, but he didn’t know how to make it right. For days, they didn’t speak to each other. The classroom felt cold and empty without their usual laughter, and their friendship was in deep trouble. At night, Sophia stared at the ruined painting, feeling a mixture of sadness and regret. She missed Ethan’s jokes, his help with homework, and the way he always cheered her up. But her pride kept her from reaching out. 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。 The next morning, Ethan showed up in front of Sophia with a nervous look. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tears came to Sophia’s eyes as she truly understood Ethan’s kindness. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
