B Esther Kimani,a 29-year-old pioneer in agritech,is changing the lives of smallholder farmers across Africa.As the founder of Farmer Lifeline Technologies (FLT),she has applied artificial intelligence (Al)to fight against crop pests (and diseases,significantly reducing losses for rural farmers. Kimani's journey began in a small Kenyan village on the Aberdare Mountains.Witnessing firsthand 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 yield (to pests and diseases annually-losses that could feed millions.Traditional solutions like hiring agricultural consultants or using drones (are prohibitively 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)for $3 per month 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 five 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. 24.Why did Kimani found FLT? A.To fund rural farmers. B.To transform farming. C.To expand AI industry. D.To research crop types. 25.How does the AI-powered camera help farmers? A.By connecting them to consultants. B.By sending them timely warnings. C.By controlling drones to scan crops D.By driving pests away automatically. 26.What is an advantage of Kimani's innovation? A.Large storage. B.Tailored service. C.Equal access. D.Easy maintenance. 27.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.Financial policies affect agriculture. B.African agriculture will take the lead C.Kimani will pursue further education. D.Kimani's innovation powers a bright future. 信中高三英语 第2页/共8页 C During this year's Spring Festival,Mount Taishan introduced wearable robotic exoskeletons( designed to assist hikers,making the demanding climbing more accessible especially for elderly and physically-challenged visitors.One 68-year-old tourist reported immediate relief from leg pain and a sensation of being assisted uphill,confirming the device's practical effectiveness. The 1.8-kilogram exoskeleton,co-developed by the Taishan Cultural Tourism Group and Shenzhen-based Kenqing Technology,wraps around the waist and thighs().Powered by artificial intelligence,it senses the wearer's pace and movement to provide real-time assistance, effectively reducing tiredness and joint pressure.Officials stated that the exoskeletons were introduced specifically to enable elderly visitors to experience the mountain's natural beauty firsthand,as traditional cable cars often limit scenic immersion.This innovative application has generated broader discussions about the technology's potential in addressing elderly care challenges within China's rapidly aging society. The newest data reveals that by the end of 2024,China had 310 million citizens aged 60 or above,accounting for 22%of the total population.This proportion is projected to rise to 30%by 2035.Recognizing this vast market,Kenqing Technology has developed a dedicated lightweight exoskeleton system for elderly users,integrating advanced sensors and motion control to assist with walking,running,and climbing.The company plans to release an upgraded model this year,featuring lighter materials and more intelligent algorithms()for better adaptability. Government policy actively encourages this sector's development.National guidelines promote new models of intelligent health and elderly care,support the use of service robots,and foster the assistive recovery device industry.Industry experts and company executives agree that such policy support,combined with market forces,is essential to achieve large-scale adoption.They emphasize that widespread use will ultimately reduce production costs,making these assistive technologies more affordable for families across the country. 28.According to paragraph 1 what is one reported effect of using the exoskeleton? A.Complete relief from joint pain. B.Feeling of being supported upward. C.Immediate increase in hiking speed. D.Significant weight reduction for users. 29.The underlined word "immersion"in paragraph 2 refers to the experience of being A.visually restricted B.financially supported C.physically surrounded D.technologically assisted 30.What is the primary reason for developing a new exoskeleton model this year? A.To better serve elderly users'needs. B.To target younger hiking enthusiasts. C.To compete with cable car companies. D.To reduce government policy reliance. 31.What is the government's attitude towards the future of robotic exoskeletons? A.Uncertain. B.Dismissive. C.Concerned. D.Supportive. 信中高三英语 第3页/共8页 D Imagine a future where the most powerful computers aren't made of silicon chips,but are grown from living cells.This is the ambitious goal of synthetic (biology,and a team from MIT has just taken a groundbreaking step.They have successfully engineered common baker's yeast() cells to perform basic computational operations,effectively turning them into tiny,self-reproducing biological computers. Traditional computers process information using a binary (code of 0s and 1s, represented by electrical currents.The MIT team's system,however,works differently.They redesigned the yeast's genetic circuits so that specific combinations of chemicals act as "input" signals.When the yeast cell detects these chemical clues,it triggers a chain of internal gene expression,ultimately leading to a visible "output"-for example,the cell giving off a green light under a microscope to signal a"YES"answer,or remaining dull for a"NO". This achievement,published in Science,is revolutionary for several reasons.First,these biological computers are incredibly energy-efficient,running on the same sugar nutrients the yeast uses to grow.Second,they are self-assembling and self-repairing,properties no silicon-based machine possesses.Most importantly,they can operate in complex,liquid environments inside the body or in ecosystems,where traditional electronics fail. The immediate application lies in smart diagnostics ()Imagine taking in a capsule containing these engineered yeast cells.They could travel through your body,detect specific disease markers,and produce a clear visual signal in your waste,offering a cheap and safe diagnostic tool.In the longer term,such "wetware"computers could monitor environmental pollution or even direct the behavior of future living machines. Of course,significant challenges remain.The"calculation"speed of cells is currently far slower than that of electronic computers,and designing reliable,complex genetic circuits is immensely difficult.Yet,this research lights the path to a future where computation is smoothly woven into the fabric of life itself. 32.How does the biological computer indicate its output? A.By giving off an observable signal. B.By detecting specific chemical clues. C.By activating gene expression chains. D.By using a combination of chemicals. 33.What powers the biological computer? A.Sugar nutrients that support yeast growth. B.A capsule containing engineered yeast cells C.The process of assembling and repairing itself. D.Electrical energy generated by genetic circuits. 34.What might challenge the development of biological computers? A.Finding a more energetic organism. B.Overcoming major ethical concerns. C.Improving genetic engineering design. D.Developing faster electronic computers. 35.Which of the following is the best title for this article? A.A Brighter Future:How Yeast Will Diagnose Disease B.Encode Information:The Making of a Bio-Supercomputer C.The End of Silicon:Why living Computers Are Taking Over D.Compute Differently:Engineering Cells to Process Information 伯中高三英语 第4页/共8页 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。有两项为多余选项。 Ever feel like there's never enough time these days?Chased by deadlines and bombarded with (狂轰滥炸)social media content,we feel that each day is full._36 The idea of "time poverty"is not new.First introduced in 1977,it has attracted much attention over the decades,according to Forbes.Cassie Holmes,a US social psychologist,tracked the time data of tens of thousands of people and found that when people have less than two hours of free time each day,their life satisfaction drops.37 We live in a world that values productivity.People are expected to be efficient,take on different roles and deal with many tasks.This can lead to a lack of personal time,hurting the individual's well-being.38 A University of Chicago study found that over the past decade,people's participation in community activities had dropped by 58 percent,and the chance of neighbors knowing each other had fallen from 75 percent in the 1980s to only 22 percent in 2022 39 Holmes pointed out that when people have over five hours of free time a day,they may start to feel a loss of purpose and achievement.Those who have two to five hours of free time each day report the highest levels of happiness and satisfaction. Time is a resource that is equally shared among all people.The-key lies not in how much time we have,but in how we use it.40 Exercising or volunteering can help you make the most of your time and give you a sense of achievement. A.Make a strict schedule for everyday activities. B.It can also cause a crisis in social relationships. C.You should reduce workload and social arrangements. D.They may even start to experience feelings such as anxiety and burnout. E.However,when we stop to think about our day,we might feel a bit empty. F.Despite these facts,more free time does not necessarily mean greater happiness. G.If you ever feel short on time,try making small changes to find some "me time". 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） 信中高三英语 第5页/供8页 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Joel Boyers is an experienced pilot in an air service company.One day he and his wife Melody received an emergency call from a stranger.The caller 41 begged Boyers to rescue her daughter, Lily,who was trapped on a roof near a 42 station,surrounded by rising flood.She was only nine with a red sweater.

As we wrote names on the invitation list,my mom leaned over my shoulder."What about John?" she asked softly.John had transferred to our class a few months earlier,his math and science grades far outshining everyone else.But he was a quiet loner,never joining group activities,and he wore the same pair of brown corduroy(灯芯绒的)pants to school every single day.Mom,he can't even afford a costume,"I frowned,a surge of guilt welling up in me.My family wasn't wealthy,but my mom was a master at bargain hunting-I'd never had to repeat an outfit.Mom's brows wrinkled as she walked away to answer her office phone. The next afternoon,Nellie and I were cutting gold paper into pyramid shapes when Mom handed me an envelope.Inside was a gift certificate to our favorite department store,enough to buy several new outfits."Nellie's mom and I thought you two could give this to John,"she said before heading back to work.Nellie and I stared at the certificate in awe. "We can't just hand it to him-that'd shame him,"Nellie said firmly.I nodded,thinking of how John would shrink into himself if we openly offered charity.We talked over ideas-slipping it into his desk,asking the teacher to pass it along-but none felt right.Just as I was about to suggest another plan,Nellie's eyes lit up."I've got an idea,"she said,snatching the envelope and bouncing on her heels. 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。 She giggled and whispered in my ears,"Let's have a grand prize game."
