Anyway, I’m glad to see that the top of my head still amuses others. There was a time when losing my hair was no laughing matter. The loss of locks started when I was about 21 and in my first job — with an unreasonable boss. It was as if my hair, stressed by the intense work environment and that particular boss, simply had decided to quit. Friends casually joked about my hairline going back. So I decided to go to the barber’s. The stylist carefully picked the ends of my hairs from one side of my head to guide them over the barren summit (不毛之地) to start a new life with their relatives on the far side. The comb-over (梳发遮秃) was a kind of trick, and it didn’t stay combed or over when I got on my bicycle, opened the window or turned on a fan. I felt like an enemy agent whose real identity could be exposed at any time. I was well aware that I was fooling no one. At 35, I asked the stylist to cut all my hair off. Yes, I was bald (秃头的). “Get over it. I was just getting my aging over early,” I thought. I could hold my head high — not just to hide the bald spot on top. Back at the office, I no longer had to duck into the restroom to repair my hairstyle. That was more than half my life ago. Now, this came to my son, but, like other men of his generation, he is very decisive and shaves his whole head. He still looks young to me, so maybe I don’t look too ancient to him. And I know my son will always refer to me as “the Baldman”. And we will always find it funny. 4. Why did the author lose hair at an early age? A. He ignored his hair care. B. He led an unhealthy lifestyle. C. He faced high work pressure. D. He had trouble in relationships. 5. How did the author probably feel about his comb-over hairstyle? A. Amused. B. Insecure. C. Satisfied. D. Confident. 6. What can we say about the author’s final decision? A. It’s a rushed action. B. It’s a helpless choice. C. It’s a funny behavior. D. It’s a change for relief. 7. What message does the author’s story convey? A. Make peace with what you look like. B. Don’t judge a book by its cover. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Like father, unlike son. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者从年轻时脱发、试图遮掩，到最终接受秃头并与这一身份和解的人生历程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The loss of locks started when I was about 21 and in my first job — with an unreasonable boss. It was as if my hair, stressed by the intense work environment and that particular boss, simply had decided to quit. (脱发始于我 21 岁的时候，那时我刚参加第一份工作——工作环境苛刻，而且上司还很苛刻。仿佛我的头发在承受着这种高强度工作环境和那位特定上司的压力后，干脆决定辞职了。)”可知，这位作者在年轻时就开始脱发是因为他承受着巨大的工作压力。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I felt like an enemy agent whose real identity could be exposed at any time. (我感觉自己就像一名间谍，随时都可能暴露自己的真实身份。)”可知，作者对自己这个发型感到不安，故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Yes, I was bald (秃头的). “Get over it. I was just getting my aging over early,” I thought. I could hold my head high—not just to hide the bald spot on top. Back at the office, I no longer had to duck into the restroom to repair my hairstyle. (没错，我秃了。“算了，就当是提前进入衰老阶段吧。”我心想。我可以昂首挺胸——不再只是为了遮住头顶的秃斑。回到办公室，我也不用再躲进洗手间去整理发型了。)”可知，我们可以认为作者最终的决定是为了寻求解脱而做出的改变。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是倒数第二段“At 35, I asked the stylist to cut all my hair off. Yes, I was bald (秃头的). “Get over it. I was just getting my aging over early,” I thought. I could hold my head high—not just to hide the bald spot on top. Back at the office, I no longer had to duck into the restroom to repair my hairstyle. (35岁那年，我让理发师把我头发全剃光了。没错，我秃了。“算了，就当是提前进入衰老阶段吧。”我心想。我可以昂首挺胸——不再只是为了遮住头顶的秃斑。回到办公室，我也不用再躲进洗手间去整理发型了。)”可知，本文主要讲的是作者从年轻时脱发、试图遮掩，到最终接受秃头并与这一身份和解的人生历程，因此本文想表达的信息是要接受自己的外貌。故选A。 C Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century. Male chingolos learn their unique, two-second melody from adult males. “It is a distinctive song — like a fingerprint, but learned,” says one of the researchers. “It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.” However, urbanization and habitat loss have broken this learning chain, causing local song “dialects” to disappear. Driven by this problem, researchers took on a pioneering task: bringing back a song that had disappeared from the wild — known only from a musical record made in the 1960s — to a population of chingolos. Using physics-based modeling of the bird’s vocal tract (声道) , the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song. They then engineered this model into a physical device designed to broadcast the forgotten melody — a “robotic tutor.” This artificial song was introduced to the chingolos in the park during their critical learning period from October to February. The sessions took place during peak singing hours and were limited to a maximum of eight hours. There were random pauses (停顿) in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses. The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音) , which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics. “This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity,” says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again. 8. Why did the researchers teach the birds the song? A. To save an endangered species. B. To study the birds’ brain structure. C. To develop new robotic devices. D. To preserve the birds’ cultural heritage. 9. What is a role of chingolos’ song? A. It keeps hunters away from them. B. It helps them adapt to urban growth. C. It functions as their social identity. D. It makes them remember their habitat. 10. What is the purpose of the random pauses? A. To protect the birds’ vocal tract. B. To test the birds’ reaction speed. C. To push the birds to catch the beat. D. To trick the birds into interaction. 11. What can we learn from chingolos’ learning results? A. The song has spread to other bird species. B. Their singing shows special vocal features. C. Their response to the song needs improving. D. The effectiveness depends on their population. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了布宜诺斯艾利斯大学的研究人员成功利用机器人导师，让一种南美小鸟——雄性红领带鹀重新学会了一首曾是该物种文化一部分，但已消失半个多世纪的歌曲，以及研究过程、结果和意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century.(布宜诺斯艾利斯大学的研究人员已成功使用机器人导师，教南美一种小型鸟类 —— 雄性红领带鹀 学习一首曾属于该物种文化、但已消失半个多世纪的鸣唱)”以及最后一段“This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity (这不仅是为了保护遗传多样性，也是为了保护文化多样性)”可知，研究人员教鸟儿这首歌是为了保护鸟类的文化遗产。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.” (它用来吸引雌鸟和保护领地。这是鸟儿表达“这就是我，我就在这里”的方式。)”可知，红领带鹀的歌声是它们的社会身份标识。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“There were random pauses (停顿) in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses. (中间有随机停顿，这样鸟儿就会把放置在该区域的三个设备播放的声音当作真实的交流，就好像这些设备在互相回应一样。这刺激了鸟类的发声反应。)”可知，随机停顿的目的是诱使鸟儿进行互动。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音) , which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics. (年轻的红领带鹀学习并采用了这首歌，尽管它们在最后的颤音中加入了自己种群的“口音”，这表明它们的歌声是由习得行为和先天特征共同塑造的。)”可知，从红领带鹀的学习结果中我们可以了解到它们的歌声表现出特殊的发声特征。故选B项。 D When you rub (摩擦) a balloon on your skin, it produces electricity — a familiar example of charge separation (电荷分离), a process in which opposite charges are separated, creating electric potential. Similarly, raindrops striking a narrow tube create a tiny yet significant burst of energy. Now, researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have tapped into this effect to generate electricity using rain-like droplets. Conventional hydropower (水力发电) relies on large water flows, which only work in places like rivers. For smaller, slower flows, researchers have explored charge separation. They use a tube to let water flow through it continuously. Charges gather on the surface that the water touches. In this way, researchers can collect charges, but it is far from effective. To solve this problem, the NUS team built a special device. At both ends of the device — the top of the newly-designed tube (about 2 millimeters in width), and the water-collecting cup at the bottom — electrical wires were placed to harvest charges. First, water is released from a metal needle, forming rain-like droplets. When these droplets enter the tube, their impacts create “plug flow,” in which the water forms mini columns separated by air gaps. This flow is crucial because it allows more surface contact and more time for charges to build up, generating up to 100, 000times more charge separation than continuous flow. As charged droplets exit the tube and fall into the cup, charges build up in the water, creating an electric current. In tests, four tubes produced enough electricity to power 12 LED lights continuously for 20 seconds. According to the study’s lead author, this model shows how rain can be used to generate clean electricity effectively and sustainably, especially in rainy places such as Singapore. Its potential is enormous, as it offers an alternative energy source even in cities. Imagine a rain collection device on your roof, producing small amounts of electricity whenever it rains — a small step for a raindrop, but a giant leap for sustainable energy technology. 12. What problem do the NUS researchers aim to solve? A. The difficulty of separating charges. B. The lack of clean electricity sources. C. The inefficiency of charge harvesting. D. The damage of traditional hydropower. 13. Which of the following best illustrates “plug flow”? A. B. C. D. 14. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning the model? A. Its potential cost in urban areas. B. Its promising use in green energy. C. Its complex design for rain power. D. Its practical need for more devices. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Revolutionary Energy from Raindrops B. Urgent Demand for Sustainable Energy C. Capturing Raindrops through Innovation D. Turning Charge Separation into Electricity 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新加坡国立大学的研究人员通过利用雨滴撞击窄管产生的电荷分离效应，开发出一种新型发电装置，有效解决了小流量水发电效率低的问题，展示了雨滴发电在绿色能源领域的巨大潜力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For smaller, slower flows, researchers have explored charge separation. They use a tube to let water flow through it continuously. Charges gather on the surface that the water touches. In this way, researchers can collect charges, but it is far from effective. (对于更小、更慢的水流，研究人员已经探索了电荷分离。他们用一根管子让水不断流过。电荷聚集在水接触的表面。通过这种方式，研究人员可以收集电荷，但效果远不理想。)”可知，研究人员面临的问题是收集电荷的效率很低。因此，NUS研究人员旨在解决的问题是电荷收集的低效性。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“When these droplets enter the tube, their impacts create “plug flow,” in which the water forms mini columns separated by air gaps. (当这些水滴进入管道时，它们的撞击会产生“塞流”，即水形成由气隙隔开的小柱。)”可知，“塞流”指的是水形成由气隙隔开的小柱，结合选项可知，D项符合“塞流”的特点。故选D项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“According to the study’s lead author, this model shows how rain can be used to generate clean electricity effectively and sustainably, especially in rainy places such as Singapore. Its potential is enormous, as it offers an alternative energy source even in cities. Imagine a rain collection device on your roof, producing small amounts of electricity whenever it rains — a small step for a raindrop, but a giant leap for sustainable energy technology. (根据该研究的主要作者的说法，这个模型展示了如何有效地和可持续地利用雨水来发电，特别是在像新加坡这样的多雨地区。它的潜力是巨大的，因为它即使在城市中也提供了一种替代能源。想象一下，在你的屋顶上有一个雨水收集装置，每当下雨时都能产生少量的电力——对雨滴来说是一小步，但对可持续能源技术来说是一大步。)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是该模型在绿色能源方面有前景的应用。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Now, researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have tapped into this effect to generate electricity using rain-like droplets. (现在，新加坡国立大学（NUS）的研究人员利用这种效应，利用类似雨滴的水滴发电。)”可知，文章主要介绍了新加坡国立大学的研究人员利用雨滴撞击窄管产生的电荷分离效应来发电，展示了雨滴发电在绿色能源领域的巨大潜力，因此，A项“Revolutionary Energy from Raindrops (来自雨滴的革命性能源)”是最合适的标题。故选A项。 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。 Last night, I heard a story that left me thinking: a friend was driving home late on a rainy day when a cat suddenly dashed out from the shadows. Before he could put on the brakes, he hit the cat. As he stood by the side of the road, shaken, his first thought was: “It was just an accident — I didn’t mean it.” ____16____ The question has stuck with me like a fish bone in the throat. Neuroscience offers a clue: our brains are wired to protect our sense of being a “good person.” ____17____ A similar phrase is “I had no choice”, which also allows us to avoid facing the complexity of our decisions. ____18____ In the days that followed, he couldn’t shake the guilt. He replayed the drive endlessly in his mind, and gradually, a different truth emerged: he had been tired, he’d taken a shortcut that he knew was poorly lit, and he had been checking a text message just moments before. ____19____ In the end, he posted about the incident online, no longer calling it an “accident”, and even made a donation to a local animal rescue. His story reveals a crucial truth: accidents are often the result of a series of choices we make rather than pure randomness. In our daily life, we use “it is an accident” constantly. ____20____ More often than not, we cannot blame the rain, the cat’s sudden dash, or any other external factor — there are no real excuses. Instead, we must separate choices from accidents. True responsibility lies in acknowledging our choices. A. These set the stage for the tragedy. B. How can we lighten our moral load? C. We truly bear no responsibility for the outcome. D. But the label “accident” offered him no real comfort. E. Life may happen to us, but it doesn’t fully excuse us. F. Why do we reach for the word “accident” so quickly? G. Calling something an “accident” often serves this purpose. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. D 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人们常将意外事件归咎于偶然，而忽视了自身选择的作用，强调应认清选择与意外的区别，勇于承担责任。 【16题详解】 上文“Before he could put on the brakes, he hit the cat. As he stood by the side of the road, shaken, his first thought was: “It was just an accident — I didn’t mean it.”(在他还没来得及踩刹车的时候，就撞到了那只猫。当他站在路边，浑身颤抖着时，他的第一个念头是：“这只是个意外——我不是故意的。”)”引出朋友用“意外”为自己开脱，下文“The question has stuck with me like a fish bone in the throat.(这个问题像鱼刺一样卡在我喉咙里)”点明作者产生一个疑问。空处应是一个问题，引出后文作者对这个问题的思考。选项F“Why do we reach for the word “accident” so quickly?(为什么我们这么快就想到“意外”这个词？)”符合语境，与后文相呼应。故选F。 【17题详解】 上文“Neuroscience offers a clue: our brains are wired to protect our sense of being a “good person.”(神经科学提供了一个线索：我们的大脑天生就倾向于保护我们作为“好人”的自我认知)”指出大脑的本能。空处承接上文，解释“意外”这个词的作用。选项G“Calling something an ‘accident’ often serves this purpose.(称某事为“意外”通常能达到这个目的)”符合语境，解释了大脑保护我们作为“好人”的认知的一种方式，即称某事为“意外”，选项中的this purpose指代前文protect our sense of being a “good person”，进一步说明“意外”一词的作用，与后文内容相呼应。故选G。 【18题详解】 上文提到大脑倾向于称某事为“意外”来保护我们作为“好人”的认知，下文“In the days that followed, he couldn’t shake the guilt.(在接下来的日子里，他无法摆脱内疚感)”讲述朋友并未因“意外”的说法而安心。空处与前文形成转折，引出朋友的真实感受。选项D“But the label “accident” offered him no real comfort.(但“意外”这个标签并没有给他带来真正的安慰)”以But转折，指出“意外”无法带来安慰，与后文愧疚感相衔接，符合语境。故选D。 【19题详解】 上文“He replayed the drive endlessly in his mind, and gradually, a different truth emerged: he had been tired, he’d taken a shortcut that he knew was poorly lit, and he had been checking a text message just moments before.(他在脑海中不停地回放这段旅程，渐渐地，一个不同的真相出现了：他很累，他走了一条他知道光线不好的近路，就在刚才他还在看短信)”列举朋友之前的一系列行为。空处总结这些行为带来的后果。选项A“These set the stage for the tragedy.(这些为这场悲剧埋下了伏笔)”承接上文，说明这些错误选择与悲剧之间的关系，选项中的These指代前文朋友的一系列不当行为，总结其导致事故发生，符合语境。故选A。 【20题详解】 上文“In our daily life, we use “it is an accident” constantly.(在我们的日常生活中，我们经常使用“这是个意外”)”指出人们的普遍做法，下文“More often than not, we cannot blame the rain, the cat’s sudden dash, or any other external factor — there are no real excuses.(很多时候，我们不能怪雨，不能怪猫的突然冲出，也不能怪任何其他外部因素——没有真正的借口)”强调不能用意外推卸责任。空处承上启下，表达不能完全用意外开脱。选项E“Life may happen to us, but it doesn’t fully excuse us.(生活可能发生在我们身上，但这并不能完全成为我们的借口)”承接上文人们对意外的使用，引出后文没有真正借口的观点，起到过渡作用，符合语境。故选E。 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。 Children can sometimes give us most beautiful messages in a way that we would never imagine.

The notebook wasn’t just any notebook — it was her “Inspiration Journal,” where she wrote down all her ideas for the school’s annual creative writing contest. The contest was only two weeks away, and Sarah had been preparing for months. I felt my face burn with shame. “I’m so sorry, Sarah. I borrowed it yesterday to see how you organize your ideas. I put it in my backpack, I swear. But now... it’s gone.” Sarah didn’t say another word. She turned around and walked away, leaving me standing there with a sick feeling in my stomach. Our friendship, built since kindergarten, suddenly felt like it was crumbling (破碎). For the next week, Sarah avoided me completely. She ate lunch with other friends, and wouldn’t even look at me when we passed in the hall. I searched my room over and over — under the bed, between textbooks, even in the laundry basket. Nothing. One afternoon, my younger brother, Leo, a seventh grader who loved playing soccer more than anything, came into my room while I was studying. “Hey, Em, what’s this?” he asked, holding up a worn-out notebook with a familiar starry-sky cover. My heart nearly stopped. It was Sarah’s journal! “Where did you find it?” I grabbed it from him. Leo scratched his head. “It was in my soccer bag. I remember now — I saw it on the kitchen table last week when I was packing my bag for practice. I must have swept it in by accident. Sorry, I didn’t know it was important.” I opened the journal. The pages were messy, with coffee stains and folded corners, and a few pages were torn halfway, marked with what looked like juice or dirt. But all of Sarah’s beautiful ideas were still there. My heart hurt as I saw the damage — I was angry at Leo’s carelessness, mixed with deep guilt for not protecting something so precious to her. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I knew I had to return the journal to Sarah immediately, but I hesitated. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, I found Sarah sitting under a tree in the schoolyard, her head down. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I knew I had to return the journal to Sarah immediately, but I hesitated. The guilt weighed heavily, but I couldn’t let her lose her chance at the contest. I spent the evening carefully repairing the torn pages with tape and smoothing out the wrinkles. I added a handwritten note explaining Leo’s mistake and placed the journal in a clean folder. It wasn’t perfect, but it was the best I could do. I promised myself I would return it the next day, no matter how awkward it might be. The next day, I found Sarah sitting under a tree in the schoolyard, her head down. Taking a deep breath, I walked over and gently placed the journal on her lap. She looked up, her eyes widening as she recognized the cover. “I’m so sorry, Sarah,” I whispered. “It was an accident, but I fixed what I could.” She opened it slowly, tracing the repaired pages. Tears welled up, but not from anger. “You fixed it,” she said softly, smiling. “Thank you for not giving up on it... or on me.” At that moment, I knew our friendship was safe, stronger than any mistake. 【解析】 【导语】本文以萨拉的灵感日记为线索展开，讲述了作者艾米丽弄丢了好友萨拉准备创意写作比赛的灵感日记，两人友谊濒临破碎。一周后，作者从弟弟里奥那里找到日记，发现日记已受损，内心充满愧疚，决心修复日记并向萨拉道歉，最终两人和好如初的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我知道我必须立刻把日记还给萨拉，但我犹豫了。”可知，第一段写作者愧疚不已，连夜修复日记、写下道歉便条，准备第二天归还。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，我发现萨拉坐在校园的树下，低着头。”可知，第二段写作者上前归还日记并道歉，萨拉被打动，两人和好，友谊更加坚固。 2.续写线索：找到日记——内心愧疚——修复日记——准备归还——当面道歉——好友原谅——友谊升温 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①修复：repair/fix/restore ②放置：place/put/lay ③归还：return/give back 情绪类 ①愧疚：guilt/regret ②生气：anger/rage/annoyance 【点睛】[高分句型1] I added a handwritten note explaining Leo’s mistake and placed the journal in a clean folder.

B “Dear Baldman” begins the card from my son, which makes me sound like a Marvel superhero with a head that blinds all criminals within 50 yards. Anyway, I’m glad to see that the top of my head still amuses others. There was a time when losing my hair was no laughing matter. The loss of locks started when I was about 21 and in my first job — with an unreasonable boss. It was as if my hair, stressed by the intense work environment and that particular boss, simply had decided to quit. Friends casually joked about my hairline going back. So I decided to go to the barber’s. The stylist carefully picked the ends of my hairs from one side of my head to guide them over the barren summit (不毛之地) to start a new life with their relatives on the far side. The comb-over (梳发遮秃) was a kind of trick, and it didn’t stay combed or over when I got on my bicycle, opened the window or turned on a fan. I felt like an enemy agent whose real identity could be exposed at any time. I was well aware that I was fooling no one. At 35, I asked the stylist to cut all my hair off. Yes, I was bald (秃头的). “Get over it. I was just getting my aging over early,” I thought. I could hold my head high — not just to hide the bald spot on top. Back at the office, I no longer had to duck into the restroom to repair my hairstyle. That was more than half my life ago. Now, this came to my son, but, like other men of his generation, he is very decisive and shaves his whole head. He still looks young to me, so maybe I don’t look too ancient to him. And I know my son will always refer to me as “the Baldman”. And we will always find it funny. 4. Why did the author lose hair at an early age? A. He ignored his hair care. B. He led an unhealthy lifestyle. C. He faced high work pressure. D. He had trouble in relationships. 5. How did the author probably feel about his comb-over hairstyle? A. Amused. B. Insecure. C. Satisfied. D. Confident. 6. What can we say about the author’s final decision? A. It’s a rushed action. B. It’s a helpless choice. C. It’s a funny behavior. D. It’s a change for relief. 7. What message does the author’s story convey? A. Make peace with what you look like. B. Don’t judge a book by its cover. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Like father, unlike son. C Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century. Male chingolos learn their unique, two-second melody from adult males. “It is a distinctive song — like a fingerprint, but learned,” says one of the researchers. “It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.” However, urbanization and habitat loss have broken this learning chain, causing local song “dialects” to disappear. Driven by this problem, researchers took on a pioneering task: bringing back a song that had disappeared from the wild — known only from a musical record made in the 1960s — to a population of chingolos. Using physics-based modeling of the bird’s vocal tract (声道) , the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song. They then engineered this model into a physical device designed to broadcast the forgotten melody — a “robotic tutor.” This artificial song was introduced to the chingolos in the park during their critical learning period from October to February. The sessions took place during peak singing hours and were limited to a maximum of eight hours. There were random pauses (停顿) in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses. The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音) , which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics. “This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity,” says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again. 8. Why did the researchers teach the birds the song? A. To save an endangered species. B. To study the birds’ brain structure. C. To develop new robotic devices. D. To preserve the birds’ cultural heritage. 9. What is a role of chingolos’ song? A. It keeps hunters away from them. B. It helps them adapt to urban growth. C. It functions as their social identity. D. It makes them remember their habitat. 10. What is the purpose of the random pauses? A. To protect the birds’ vocal tract. B. To test the birds’ reaction speed. C. To push the birds to catch the beat. D. To trick the birds into interaction. 11. What can we learn from chingolos’ learning results? A. The song has spread to other bird species. B. Their singing shows special vocal features. C. Their response to the song needs improving. D. The effectiveness depends on their population. D When you rub (摩擦) a balloon on your skin, it produces electricity — a familiar example of charge separation (电荷分离), a process in which opposite charges are separated, creating electric potential. Similarly, raindrops striking a narrow tube create a tiny yet significant burst of energy. Now, researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have tapped into this effect to generate electricity using rain-like droplets. Conventional hydropower (水力发电) relies on large water flows, which only work in places like rivers. For smaller, slower flows, researchers have explored charge separation. They use a tube to let water flow through it continuously. Charges gather on the surface that the water touches. In this way, researchers can collect charges, but it is far from effective. To solve this problem, the NUS team built a special device. At both ends of the device — the top of the newly-designed tube (about 2 millimeters in width), and the water-collecting cup at the bottom — electrical wires were placed to harvest charges. First, water is released from a metal needle, forming rain-like droplets. When these droplets enter the tube, their impacts create “plug flow,” in which the water forms mini columns separated by air gaps. This flow is crucial because it allows more surface contact and more time for charges to build up, generating up to 100, 000times more charge separation than continuous flow. As charged droplets exit the tube and fall into the cup, charges build up in the water, creating an electric current. In tests, four tubes produced enough electricity to power 12 LED lights continuously for 20 seconds. According to the study’s lead author, this model shows how rain can be used to generate clean electricity effectively and sustainably, especially in rainy places such as Singapore. Its potential is enormous, as it offers an alternative energy source even in cities. Imagine a rain collection device on your roof, producing small amounts of electricity whenever it rains — a small step for a raindrop, but a giant leap for sustainable energy technology. 12. What problem do the NUS researchers aim to solve? A. The difficulty of separating charges. B. The lack of clean electricity sources. C. The inefficiency of charge harvesting. D. The damage of traditional hydropower. 13. Which of the following best illustrates “plug flow”? A. B. C. D. 14. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning the model? A. Its potential cost in urban areas. B. Its promising use in green energy. C. Its complex design for rain power. D. Its practical need for more devices. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Revolutionary Energy from Raindrops B. Urgent Demand for Sustainable Energy C. Capturing Raindrops through Innovation D.

As he stood by the side of the road, shaken, his first thought was: “It was just an accident — I didn’t mean it.” ____16____ The question has stuck with me like a fish bone in the throat. Neuroscience offers a clue: our brains are wired to protect our sense of being a “good person.” ____17____ A similar phrase is “I had no choice”, which also allows us to avoid facing the complexity of our decisions. ____18____ In the days that followed, he couldn’t shake the guilt. He replayed the drive endlessly in his mind, and gradually, a different truth emerged: he had been tired, he’d taken a shortcut that he knew was poorly lit, and he had been checking a text message just moments before. ____19____ In the end, he posted about the incident online, no longer calling it an “accident”, and even made a donation to a local animal rescue. His story reveals a crucial truth: accidents are often the result of a series of choices we make rather than pure randomness. In our daily life, we use “it is an accident” constantly. ____20____ More often than not, we cannot blame the rain, the cat’s sudden dash, or any other external factor — there are no real excuses. Instead, we must separate choices from accidents. True responsibility lies in acknowledging our choices. A. These set the stage for the tragedy. B. How can we lighten our moral load? C. We truly bear no responsibility for the outcome. D. But the label “accident” offered him no real comfort. E. Life may happen to us, but it doesn’t fully excuse us. F. Why do we reach for the word “accident” so quickly? G. Calling something an “accident” often serves this purpose. 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。 Children can sometimes give us most beautiful messages in a way that we would never imagine.

We can choose to be discouraged or light-hearted. No matter what the ____31____ is, a cheerful “Wow!” will always beat a discouraged “OH, no.” There is no ____32____ to see our problems as big deals.

The notebook wasn’t just any notebook — it was her “Inspiration Journal,” where she wrote down all her ideas for the school’s annual creative writing contest. The contest was only two weeks away, and Sarah had been preparing for months. I felt my face burn with shame. “I’m so sorry, Sarah. I borrowed it yesterday to see how you organize your ideas. I put it in my backpack, I swear. But now... it’s gone.” Sarah didn’t say another word. She turned around and walked away, leaving me standing there with a sick feeling in my stomach. Our friendship, built since kindergarten, suddenly felt like it was crumbling (破碎). For the next week, Sarah avoided me completely. She ate lunch with other friends, and wouldn’t even look at me when we passed in the hall. I searched my room over and over — under the bed, between textbooks, even in the laundry basket. Nothing. One afternoon, my younger brother, Leo, a seventh grader who loved playing soccer more than anything, came into my room while I was studying. “Hey, Em, what’s this?” he asked, holding up a worn-out notebook with a familiar starry-sky cover. My heart nearly stopped. It was Sarah’s journal! “Where did you find it?” I grabbed it from him. Leo scratched his head. “It was in my soccer bag. I remember now — I saw it on the kitchen table last week when I was packing my bag for practice. I must have swept it in by accident. Sorry, I didn’t know it was important.” I opened the journal. The pages were messy, with coffee stains and folded corners, and a few pages were torn halfway, marked with what looked like juice or dirt. But all of Sarah’s beautiful ideas were still there. My heart hurt as I saw the damage — I was angry at Leo’s carelessness, mixed with deep guilt for not protecting something so precious to her. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I knew I had to return the journal to Sarah immediately, but I hesitated. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, I found Sarah sitting under a tree in the schoolyard, her head down. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
