On March 28 and 29, a motorcycle made by ZXMOTO, a Chinese motorcycle brand, won both races at the Portuguese round of the Superbike World Championship (WSBK), a global motorcycle competition. The triumph marks the first time a Chinese motorcycle brand has won this event. It has broken the decades-long dominance of major foreign motorcycle brands such as Italy’s Ducati, Germany’s BMW, and Japan’s “Big Four”. In the WSBK, motorcycles are modified (改装) from mass-produced street bikes, so it is not only a speed competition but also a stage to show companies’ production ability. The winning motorcycle, launched by ZXMOTO this year, has a self-developed engine that allows it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in only 2.8 seconds. Its electronic control system and frame are also independently developed. Zhang Xue, 39, founder of ZXMOTO, has witnessed China’s motorcycle industry growth. He has worked as a mechanic, a rider, and an engineer. In 2013, he began building motorcycles in Chongqing, and founded ZXMOTO in 2024, focusing on independent engine R&D. ZXMOTO’s victory not only realizes Zhang’s dream but also shows the progress of Chinese motorcycle manufacturing, boosting the industry’s confidence and changing the international community’s view on China’s motorcycle sector. 4.

On March 28 and 29, a motorcycle made by ZXMOTO, a Chinese motorcycle brand, won both races at the Portuguese round of the Superbike World Championship (WSBK), a global motorcycle competition.(双喜临门！3月28日和29日，由中国摩托车品牌ZXMOTO生产的摩托车在葡萄牙举行的超级摩托车世界锦标赛（WSBK）比赛中赢得了两场比赛的冠军，这是一场全球性的摩托车赛事)”可知，这篇文章的主要观点是赛事中ZXMOTO车队的夺冠彰显了中国摩托车制造业的进步与实力。 C Over the past few weeks, many people in China have started raising “lobster” — and no, not the mouthwatering seafood. Chinese users have adopted this phrase to describe the process of setting up and training an AI agent called OpenClaw, which uses a red lobster as its logo. For some years, we have had generative AI models like ChatGPT. While they are useful, they passively wait for prompts (提示词) to respond. Also, they can tell users what to do, but cannot perform the task for them. OpenClaw, developed by Austrian software engineer and entrepreneur Peter Steinberger, promises to be “the AI that actually does things”, according to its website. It sends emails, manages calendars, books flights, controls smart home devices and more. What truly sets OpenClaw apart is its long-term “memory”. As reported by Computer Network, the AI keeps data even after being closed, enabling it to “remember” past conversations. Over time, it learns your preferences, tracks your projects and sends you proactive (积极主动的) notifications. Such proactiveness is supported by “heartbeat”, a built-in timer that is used regularly. As Claire Vo, chief technology officer of US startup LaunchDarkly, explained on social media platform X, OpenClaw’s “heartbeat” occurs every 30 minutes and can be adjusted by the user. With each tick, the AI wakes up to check for tasks that are ready to run. This enables the AI to continue working without user interaction. However, OpenClaw’s abilities come with serious risks. In February, researchers found over 40,000 instances of OpenClaw online, with more than 60 percent having problems that could allow hackers to gain control, reported CGTN. On March 8 and 10, the Chinese government issued two official alerts — the first-ever warnings specifically about an agentic AI. The risks are made worse by Moltbook, a social network launched in January, where the AI agents share posts with each other, and humans can only observe, reported Forbes. “Although it gained attention for showcasing AI-to-AI interactions, early findings revealed that it exposed entire databases,” Dr Shaanan Cohney from Australia’s University of Melbourne told Forbes. 8. What can we learn about generative AI models like ChatGPT from the passage? A. They can do tasks actively without prompts. B. They have long-term memory like OpenClaw. C. They wait for prompts to react inactively. D. They can control smart home devices automatically. 9. What makes OpenClaw different from other AI? A. It needs a browser tab open all the time. B. It has long-term memory and can work proactively. C. It only provides information but does nothing. D. It was developed by a Chinese engineer. 10. What is the function of OpenClaw’s “heartbeat”? A. It helps the AI remember users’ preferences forever. B. It allows AI agents to share posts with each other. C. It protects users from hackers and security risks. D. It enables the AI to wake up to check tasks every half an hour. 11. Why did Chinese government issue official alerts about OpenClaw? A. Because it may contribute to severe safety threats. B. Because it is too expensive for ordinary users. C. Because it cannot work well in chat apps. D. Because it has no long-term memory. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍中国用户所说的“养龙虾”指训练AI代理OpenClaw，及其功能、独特优势，同时说明其存在的安全风险及相关警示。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“While they are useful, they passively wait for prompts (提示词) to respond. Also, they can tell users what to do, but cannot perform the task for them.(虽然它们很有用，但它们被动地等待提示词来回应。此外，它们可以告诉用户该做什么，但不能为用户执行任务)”可知，像ChatGPT这样的生成式人工智能模型会被动等待提示词做出反应。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“What truly sets OpenClaw apart is its long-term “memory”. As reported by Computer Network, the AI keeps data even after being closed, enabling it to “remember” past conversations. Over time, it learns your preferences, tracks your projects and sends you proactive (积极主动的) notifications.(真正让OpenClaw与众不同的是它的长期“记忆”。据《计算机网络》报道，即使在关闭后，这款人工智能也会保存数据，使其能够“记住”过去的对话。随着时间的推移，它会了解你的偏好，跟踪你的项目，并向你发送积极主动的通知)”可知，OpenClaw与其他人工智能的不同之处在于它有长期记忆且能主动工作。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“As Claire Vo, chief technology officer of US startup LaunchDarkly, explained on social media platform X, OpenClaw’s “heartbeat” occurs every 30 minutes and can be adjusted by the user. With each tick, the AI wakes up to check for tasks that are ready to run.(正如美国初创公司LaunchDarkly的首席技术官克莱尔·沃在社交媒体平台X上解释的那样，OpenClaw的“心跳”每30分钟发生一次，用户可以调整。每一次滴答声，人工智能都会醒来检查准备运行的任务)”可知，OpenClaw的“心跳”功能能让人工智能每半小时醒来检查任务。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“However, OpenClaw’s abilities come with serious risks. In February, researchers found over 40,000 instances of OpenClaw online, with more than 60 percent having problems that could allow hackers to gain control, reported CGTN. On March 8 and 10, the Chinese government issued two official alerts — the first-ever warnings specifically about an agentic AI.(然而，OpenClaw的能力伴随着严重的风险。据中国环球电视网报道，今年2月，研究人员在网上发现了超过4万个OpenClaw实例，其中超过60%存在可能让黑客获得控制权的问题。3月8日和10日，中国政府发布了两次官方警报——这是首次专门针对智能体人工智能的警告)”可知，中国政府发布关于OpenClaw的官方警报是因为它可能带来严重的安全威胁。 D How does a cow scratch an itch on its back? An Austrian cow named Veronika has a solution that could change how we view livestock. For the past decade, Veronika has been observed by her owner occasionally picking up sticks with her mouth, maneuvering the ends to reach areas of her body she can’t otherwise reach. Veronika’s innovative behavior is reported in a new study — the first to describe tool use in a pet cow, according to the researchers. It was published Monday in the journal Current Biology. “What this tells us is that cows have the potential to innovate tool use, and we have ignored this fact for thousands of years,” lead author Antonio J. Osuna-Mascaró said in an email. When the study authors first saw the video of Veronika using a stick to scratch herself, it was clear that the behavior was intentional and not accidental. To test her tool-use capabilities, the researchers performed a series of controlled trials in which they placed a deck brush in front of the cow in various orientations. The researchers found that not only was Veronika displaying true tool use — when a tool serves a functional purpose and allows the subject to extend its own bodily limits — but she had a clear preference for how the tool was used. She would readjust her grip depending on what side of the brush she wanted, what part of her body she was targeting. This is extremely surprising because the only other solid example of multipurpose tool use that we know of belongs to the chimpanzees of the Congo Basin, Osuna-Mascaró said. While chimpanzees have the advantages of hands and opposable thumbs, Veronika still surprised the researchers with the control she had with her mouth. Cows and other highly intelligent and emotional animals are far too often written off as being dumb and lacking emotions. Detailed research shows they are fully sentient (有感觉能力的) beings with very active brains and rich and deep emotional lives. The researchers don’t believe that Veronika is the “Einstein of cows”. It is likely that there are many other cows, bulls and farm animals with this ability that have gone unnoticed. “We know more about the tool use of wild animals on remote islands than we do about the cows we live with,” Osuna-Mascaró said. 12. What does the underlined word maneuvering probably mean? A. throwing B. breaking C. moving skillfully D. hiding 13. According to the researchers, why is Veronika’s behavior considered “true tool use”? A. Because she uses the tool to get food. B. Because the tool performs a useful function and go beyond its physical abilities C. Because she was trained by her owner to do so. D. Because she uses the tool in the same way chimpanzees use tools with their hands. 14. What can be inferred from the study about cows? A. They are less intelligent than most exotic animals. B. They have been underestimated in terms of intelligence. C. They can use tools with their feet. D. They are the only farm animals capable of tool use. 15. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Veronika is the most intelligent cow ever discovered. B. The researchers believe Veronika is exceptionally rare among cows. C. Humans know less about common farm animals. D. Only cows and bulls, not other farm animals, may have tool-use ability. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍奶牛Veronika会用树枝给自己挠痒，研究证实它会真正使用工具，说明奶牛智商与情感被长期低估，很多同类能力尚未被人类发现。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“the ends to reach areas of her body she can’t otherwise reach(树枝的末端位置，以便能够触及到自己平时无法够到的身体部位)”可知，牛用嘴叼树枝，熟练挪动树枝末端够到自己够不到的背部，故划线词意思是“熟练挪动”。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The researchers found that not only was Veronika displaying true tool use — when a tool serves a functional purpose and allows the subject to extend its own bodily limits — but she had a clear preference for how the tool was used.(研究人员发现，维罗妮卡不仅展现出了真正的工具使用能力——即当工具能够发挥实际作用，并能让实验对象突破自身身体的限制时——而且她还对工具的使用方式有着明确的偏好)”可知，维罗妮卡的行为被视为“真正的工具使用”是因为该工具具有实用功能，并且超出了其本身的物理能力。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Cows and other highly intelligent and emotional animals are far too often written off as being dumb and lacking emotions.(奶牛以及其他那些极其聪明且情感丰富的动物，却常常被错误地认为是愚蠢且缺乏情感的)”可知，奶牛的智力一直被低估了。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“We know more about the tool use of wild animals on remote islands than we do about the cows we live with(我们对生活在偏远岛屿上的野生动物的工具使用情况了解得比对我们身边所养的奶牛的工具使用情况了解得要多)”可知，人类对常见的家畜了解较少。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Build Better Discipline and Self-Control Most of us can gain a lot from improving our discipline and self-control.

Creating a regular routine with good habits is a perfect way to avoid distractions and impulsive decisions. E. Start with tiny steps. F. Form good habits. G. This will motivate you to keep going on your self-discipline journey. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. E 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍培养自律自控力的实用方法：建立日常作息、从小习惯起步、找人互相监督、对自己宽容以待，循序渐进提升自律能力。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Most of us can gain a lot from improving our discipline and self-control. These abilities help us refuse temptations, stick to tough or boring tasks, and finally reach our life goals. The good news is that building discipline and self-control is not that hard.(我们大多数人通过提升自身的自律和自控能力都能收获很多。这些能力能帮助我们抵御诱惑、坚持完成艰巨或枯燥的任务，并最终实现人生目标。好消息是，培养自律和自控能力并非难事)”可知，上文引出话题，说明培养自律并不难，下文开始分点讲具体方法。C选项“你可以通过几个简单实用的步骤做到”承上启下，引出下文的方法，符合逻辑。 【17题详解】 根据后文“When things become part of your daily routine, you’ll do them naturally without overthinking. A study on high school students’ self-control, habits and goals found that students with strong self-control usually stuck to regular routines, and those with consistent routines were more likely to achieve their goals like better grades, enough sleep and regular exercise.( 当某些事情成为你日常生活的一部分时，你就会自然而然地去做，而不会过度思考。一项针对高中生自我控制、习惯和目标的研究发现，具有较强自我控制能力的学生通常会坚持固定的日常安排，而那些有规律作息的学生更有可能实现诸如更好的成绩、充足的睡眠和规律的锻炼等目标)”以及位于第一个小标题“Build a daily routine（建立日常惯例）”之后，下文解释日常惯例的作用。D选项“养成带好习惯的规律日常，是避免分心、避免冲动决定的绝佳方法”紧扣标题，引出下文对日常惯例的进一步说明，符合。 【18题详解】 根据后文“It takes self-discipline to build a new routine, so don’t push yourself too hard at first. Just pick a tiny thing to start with, such as 10 minutes of daily exercise, or turning off your phone 30 minutes before bedtime every night.(要建立新的生活习惯需要自律，所以一开始不要给自己太大压力。只需选择一个很小的事情作为起点，比如每天锻炼 10 分钟，或者每晚睡前 30 分钟关掉手机)”可知，后文内容强调“一开始不要逼自己太狠，从微小的事情起步”，E选项“从小步骤开始”正好概括该段核心观点，符合语境。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Find a friend with similar goals and share your progress with each other.(找一个目标与你相似的朋友，然后相互分享自己的进展情况)”可知，上文提出“找目标一致的朋友，互相分享进度”的方法，G选项“这会激励你在自律的旅程中坚持下去”中，This正好指代上文“和朋友互相分享进度”的行为，讲清该方法的作用，也自然衔接下文“If you can’t find such a friend, keeping a journal is also a good choice.(如果找不到这样的朋友，那么写日记也是一个不错的选择)”，符合逻辑。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Building self-discipline is a long process.(培养自律是一个漫长的过程)”和下文说“Everyone makes mistakes, and the key is to pick yourself up and start again.(人人都会犯错，关键是重新出发)”可知，本段核心是“对自己宽容”，B选项“立即过度追求完美表现只会让你感到疲惫和压力重重，还会降低你做出正确选择的能力”指出不要过度追求完美。 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四个选项选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Molly didn’t want to go that way.

My class of six-year-old students was eagerly looking forward to their summer break. To make the day more cheerful, I arranged for some balloons to be delivered, yet for me, this vacation was a mix of happiness and sadness. I had recently moved to this city and didn’t have enough money to take a flight home to be with my father. He was longing for me deeply, since this was his first summer without my company. As I turned off the light before leaving, I spotted the balloons by the window. Not knowing what to do with them, I gathered the thirteen strings and put them in the backseat of my car. Their colorful colors brightened my mood, and thankfully, I no longer felt so isolated. Since I was still unfamiliar with the city, I chose to take a drive and before long, I found myself driving along a winding road where the trees overhead covered each other. The branches reminded me of two friends reaching out to welcome one another. Soon, a nursing home came into view. The place had an air of being forgotten, and I noticed a man sitting by himself in the shadow outside. I suddenly felt an urge to drive in. However, the balloons in my backseat were blocking my sight — at that moment, I realized how to use them. I got out, took hold of one of the strings, waved at the man, and he smiled back. He introduced himself as Daniel, and he was roughly the same age as my father. As I gave him the balloon, he beamed and said, “Thanks. This adds a bit of brightness to my life.” As he fastened it to his chair, he appeared more joyful than when I first saw him. So I replied with a smile, “You’re welcome, Daniel. Maybe we’ll meet again one day.’ To my surprise, he responded, “Maybe, but it’s not likely. People are always invited to visit, but they seldom show up.” What he said forced me to pull an old chair closer to him. We began chatting about our lives, and the sound of his voice constantly brought my father to mind. I had imagined that having a conversation with a stranger would be dull. But it wasn’t; instead, it was enlightening — I had been feeling lonely, Daniel had felt the same, and so had the other residents of the nursing home. 注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置 作答。 Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. When I asked if I could bring balloons inside, Daniel nodded, “It’s been a while since something cheerful came through the door.” Hearing this, I jogged to the car, gathered the strings from the backseat and the balloons were immediately freed, floating gloriously in the air. One by one, I handed them out to the residents inside, whose faces softened and even brightened up as the colors reached them. I could hear it, this sudden rustle of joy. Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. Sometimes with balloons, sometimes with drawings my students made, our visits always began in the shade outside. Though he never said so, I could tell he waited for me. I did too for his voice, low and soft, was so much like Dad’s. I was grateful for the silence we shared when words weren’t needed. Through these visits, the city felt less foreign, but more like home. When I made it back home some day, I would tell Dad how a man brought him back to me, and how a handful of balloons, unexpectedly, lit up everything. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了学年结束作者因没钱回家陪父亲满心伤感，驾车途中偶遇冷清养老院，将多余气球送给独居老人丹尼尔及院里其他老人，给他们带去欢乐。此后半年作者常前去探望，暖心陪伴慰藉了彼此孤独，也让这座陌生城市有了家的温度。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者将多余气球送给独居老人丹尼尔及院里其他老人，给他们带去欢乐。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写此后半年作者常前去探望，暖心陪伴慰藉了彼此孤独，也让这座陌生城市有了家的温度。 2.续写线索：送去气球——老人开心——常去探望——慰藉孤独——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①点亮：brighten up/light up/lighten ②释放：free/release ③需要：need/require 情绪类 ①意外：unexpectedly/accidentally ②感谢：grateful/appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1] One by one, I handed them out to the residents inside, whose faces softened and even brightened up as the colors reached them.（运用了whose引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] I was grateful for the silence we shared when words weren’t needed.（运用了省略了关系词的定语从句以及when引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026年度下学期期中高二英语试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 该部分分为第一、第二两节。注意：回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试 卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你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段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，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。每段录音播两遍。 1.

On March 28 and 29, a motorcycle made by ZXMOTO, a Chinese motorcycle brand, won both races at the Portuguese round of the Superbike World Championship (WSBK), a global motorcycle competition. The triumph marks the first time a Chinese motorcycle brand has won this event. It has broken the decades-long dominance of major foreign motorcycle brands such as Italy’s Ducati, Germany’s BMW, and Japan’s “Big Four”. In the WSBK, motorcycles are modified (改装) from mass-produced street bikes, so it is not only a speed competition but also a stage to show companies’ production ability. The winning motorcycle, launched by ZXMOTO this year, has a self-developed engine that allows it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in only 2.8 seconds. Its electronic control system and frame are also independently developed. Zhang Xue, 39, founder of ZXMOTO, has witnessed China’s motorcycle industry growth. He has worked as a mechanic, a rider, and an engineer. In 2013, he began building motorcycles in Chongqing, and founded ZXMOTO in 2024, focusing on independent engine R&D. ZXMOTO’s victory not only realizes Zhang’s dream but also shows the progress of Chinese motorcycle manufacturing, boosting the industry’s confidence and changing the international community’s view on China’s motorcycle sector. 4. What can we learn about ZXMOTO’s victory in the Portuguese round of WSBK? A. A Chinese motorcycle brand has never won such a competition before. B. It merely shows ZXMOTO’s excellent speed performance of its motorcycles. C. It broke the 20-year-long dominance of foreign motorcycle brands. D. The winning motorcycle totally adopted imported engines and core parts. 5. Which of the following is true about Zhang Xue according to the passage? A. He began to build motorcycles in Chongqing right after he founded ZXMOTO in 2024. B. He has rich practical experience related to motorcycles. C. His main goal of founding ZXMOTO is to introduce foreign high-quality engine technologies. D. He didn’t witness the development of China’s motorcycle manufacturing industry until 2024. 6. Which of the following is a key feature of ZXMOTO’s winning motorcycle? A. It increases its speed from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds. B. Its engine was imported from a leading Japanese brand. C. Its frame is designed with technology from Italy’s Ducati. D. Its electronic control system is one of the best systems in China. 7. What is the main idea of the passage? A. China has built a comprehensive industry system for motorcycle manufacturing. B. Zhang Xue’s personal experience of developing ZXMOTO into a famous brand. C. ZXMOTO’s victory reflects the progress and strength of China’s motorcycle manufacturing. D. The difficulties Chinese motorcycle brands faced in developing high-performance engines before. C Over the past few weeks, many people in China have started raising “lobster” — and no, not the mouthwatering seafood. Chinese users have adopted this phrase to describe the process of setting up and training an AI agent called OpenClaw, which uses a red lobster as its logo. For some years, we have had generative AI models like ChatGPT. While they are useful, they passively wait for prompts (提示词) to respond. Also, they can tell users what to do, but cannot perform the task for them. OpenClaw, developed by Austrian software engineer and entrepreneur Peter Steinberger, promises to be “the AI that actually does things”, according to its website. It sends emails, manages calendars, books flights, controls smart home devices and more. What truly sets OpenClaw apart is its long-term “memory”. As reported by Computer Network, the AI keeps data even after being closed, enabling it to “remember” past conversations. Over time, it learns your preferences, tracks your projects and sends you proactive (积极主动的) notifications. Such proactiveness is supported by “heartbeat”, a built-in timer that is used regularly. As Claire Vo, chief technology officer of US startup LaunchDarkly, explained on social media platform X, OpenClaw’s “heartbeat” occurs every 30 minutes and can be adjusted by the user. With each tick, the AI wakes up to check for tasks that are ready to run. This enables the AI to continue working without user interaction. However, OpenClaw’s abilities come with serious risks. In February, researchers found over 40,000 instances of OpenClaw online, with more than 60 percent having problems that could allow hackers to gain control, reported CGTN. On March 8 and 10, the Chinese government issued two official alerts — the first-ever warnings specifically about an agentic AI. The risks are made worse by Moltbook, a social network launched in January, where the AI agents share posts with each other, and humans can only observe, reported Forbes. “Although it gained attention for showcasing AI-to-AI interactions, early findings revealed that it exposed entire databases,” Dr Shaanan Cohney from Australia’s University of Melbourne told Forbes. 8. What can we learn about generative AI models like ChatGPT from the passage? A. They can do tasks actively without prompts. B. They have long-term memory like OpenClaw. C. They wait for prompts to react inactively. D. They can control smart home devices automatically. 9. What makes OpenClaw different from other AI? A. It needs a browser tab open all the time. B. It has long-term memory and can work proactively. C. It only provides information but does nothing. D. It was developed by a Chinese engineer. 10. What is the function of OpenClaw’s “heartbeat”? A. It helps the AI remember users’ preferences forever. B. It allows AI agents to share posts with each other. C. It protects users from hackers and security risks. D. It enables the AI to wake up to check tasks every half an hour. 11. Why did Chinese government issue official alerts about OpenClaw? A. Because it may contribute to severe safety threats. B. Because it is too expensive for ordinary users. C. Because it cannot work well in chat apps. D. Because it has no long-term memory. D How does a cow scratch an itch on its back? An Austrian cow named Veronika has a solution that could change how we view livestock. For the past decade, Veronika has been observed by her owner occasionally picking up sticks with her mouth, maneuvering the ends to reach areas of her body she can’t otherwise reach. Veronika’s innovative behavior is reported in a new study — the first to describe tool use in a pet cow, according to the researchers. It was published Monday in the journal Current Biology. “What this tells us is that cows have the potential to innovate tool use, and we have ignored this fact for thousands of years,” lead author Antonio J. Osuna-Mascaró said in an email. When the study authors first saw the video of Veronika using a stick to scratch herself, it was clear that the behavior was intentional and not accidental. To test her tool-use capabilities, the researchers performed a series of controlled trials in which they placed a deck brush in front of the cow in various orientations. The researchers found that not only was Veronika displaying true tool use — when a tool serves a functional purpose and allows the subject to extend its own bodily limits — but she had a clear preference for how the tool was used. She would readjust her grip depending on what side of the brush she wanted, what part of her body she was targeting. This is extremely surprising because the only other solid example of multipurpose tool use that we know of belongs to the chimpanzees of the Congo Basin, Osuna-Mascaró said. While chimpanzees have the advantages of hands and opposable thumbs, Veronika still surprised the researchers with the control she had with her mouth. Cows and other highly intelligent and emotional animals are far too often written off as being dumb and lacking emotions. Detailed research shows they are fully sentient (有感觉能力的) beings with very active brains and rich and deep emotional lives. The researchers don’t believe that Veronika is the “Einstein of cows”. It is likely that there are many other cows, bulls and farm animals with this ability that have gone unnoticed. “We know more about the tool use of wild animals on remote islands than we do about the cows we live with,” Osuna-Mascaró said. 12. What does the underlined word maneuvering probably mean? A. throwing B. breaking C. moving skillfully D. hiding 13. According to the researchers, why is Veronika’s behavior considered “true tool use”? A. Because she uses the tool to get food. B. Because the tool performs a useful function and go beyond its physical abilities C. Because she was trained by her owner to do so. D. Because she uses the tool in the same way chimpanzees use tools with their hands. 14. What can be inferred from the study about cows? A. They are less intelligent than most exotic animals. B. They have been underestimated in terms of intelligence. C. They can use tools with their feet. D. They are the only farm animals capable of tool use. 15. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Veronika is the most intelligent cow ever discovered. B. The researchers believe Veronika is exceptionally rare among cows. C. Humans know less about common farm animals. D. Only cows and bulls, not other farm animals, may have tool-use ability. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Build Better Discipline and Self-Control Most of us can gain a lot from improving our discipline and self-control.

My class of six-year-old students was eagerly looking forward to their summer break. To make the day more cheerful, I arranged for some balloons to be delivered, yet for me, this vacation was a mix of happiness and sadness. I had recently moved to this city and didn’t have enough money to take a flight home to be with my father. He was longing for me deeply, since this was his first summer without my company. As I turned off the light before leaving, I spotted the balloons by the window. Not knowing what to do with them, I gathered the thirteen strings and put them in the backseat of my car. Their colorful colors brightened my mood, and thankfully, I no longer felt so isolated. Since I was still unfamiliar with the city, I chose to take a drive and before long, I found myself driving along a winding road where the trees overhead covered each other. The branches reminded me of two friends reaching out to welcome one another. Soon, a nursing home came into view. The place had an air of being forgotten, and I noticed a man sitting by himself in the shadow outside. I suddenly felt an urge to drive in. However, the balloons in my backseat were blocking my sight — at that moment, I realized how to use them. I got out, took hold of one of the strings, waved at the man, and he smiled back. He introduced himself as Daniel, and he was roughly the same age as my father. As I gave him the balloon, he beamed and said, “Thanks. This adds a bit of brightness to my life.” As he fastened it to his chair, he appeared more joyful than when I first saw him. So I replied with a smile, “You’re welcome, Daniel. Maybe we’ll meet again one day.’ To my surprise, he responded, “Maybe, but it’s not likely. People are always invited to visit, but they seldom show up.” What he said forced me to pull an old chair closer to him. We began chatting about our lives, and the sound of his voice constantly brought my father to mind. I had imagined that having a conversation with a stranger would be dull. But it wasn’t; instead, it was enlightening — I had been feeling lonely, Daniel had felt the same, and so had the other residents of the nursing home. 注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置 作答。 Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
