An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground — in its entirety — and relocated using new technology called the “walking machine”. In the city’s latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers attached nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-storey building. The supports act like robotic legs. They’re split into two groups which alternately (交替地) rise up and down, imitating the human stride. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward. In recent decades, China’s rapid modernization has seen many historic buildings razed to clear land for grand skyscrapers and office buildings. But there has been growing concern about the architectural heritage lost as a result of tear-down across the country. Shanghai has arguably been China’s most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a number of 1930s buildings in the famous Bund district and 19th-century “shikumen” (or “stone gate”) houses in the renovated Xintiandi neighborhood have offered examples of how to give old buildings new life. The city also has a track record of relocating old buildings. In 2018, the city relocated a 90-year-old building in Hongkou District, in what was then considered to be Shanghai’s most complex relocation project to date. The Lagena Primary School, which weighs 7,600 tons, posed a new challenge — it’s T-shaped, whereas previously relocated structures were square or rectangular. Experts and technicians met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the “walking machine”. Citizens welcome and appreciate the efforts made by the municipal government to protect these old buildings. In their eyes, not only are the old buildings part of their memory but they also represent part of Shanghai’s history. 4. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. A “walking building” can often be seen in Shanghai. B. The 85-year-old building is called “walking machine”. C. The 85-year-old building is the first building to be relocated. D. Engineers relocated the building without breaking it into parts. 5. Which are excluded from the project of relocating the building? A. Mobile supports. B. Robotic legs. C. Attached sensors. D. Technical engineers. 6. The author shows Shanghai’s success in protecting historic buildings by ______. A. listing figures B. giving reasons C. making comparisons D. providing examples 7. What is probably the best title for the passage? A. Many old buildings in Shanghai have been relocated. B. Shanghai is making great efforts to preserve old buildings. C. A 5-storey building in Shanghai “walks” to a new location. D. Citizens in Shanghai are shocked to see buildings relocated. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，讲述了上海使用技术将一所学校完整移动到新地方，保护了历史建筑。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Shanghai residents passing through the city’s eastern Huangpu District earlier this month might be surprised to catch an unusual sight: a “walking” building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground — in its entirety — and relocated using new technology called the “walking machine”.(本月早些时候，经过上海东部黄浦区的上海居民可能会惊讶地看到一个不同寻常的景象：一座“行走”的建筑。一所拥有85年历史的小学已经全部拔地而起，并使用名为“步行机”的新技术进行了搬迁。)”可知，一所小学通过使用“步行机”技术进行平移搬迁，由此可推测出，工程师在不用拆分建筑的情况下将其迁移。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In the city’s latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers attached nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-storey building.(在该市保护历史建筑的最新努力中，工程师们在五层楼的建筑下安装了近200个移动支架。)”和“Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward.(附加的传感器有助于控制建筑物的前进方式。)”可知，搬动建筑的项目包含了技术工程师的努力、移动支架和附加传感器的使用。B项“机器腿”不在其中。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Shanghai has arguably been China’s most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a number of 1930s buildings in the famous Bund district and 19th-century “shikumen” (or “stone gate”) houses in the renovated Xintiandi neighborhood have offered examples of how to give old buildings new life. The city also has a track record of relocating old buildings. In 2018, the city relocated a 90-year-old building in Hongkou District, in what was then considered to be Shanghai’s most complex relocation project to date.(在遗产保护方面，上海可以说是中国最进步的城市。在著名的外滩区，许多20世纪30年代的建筑和经过翻新的新天地街区19世纪的“石库门”房屋的幸存，为如何赋予老建筑新的生命提供了例子。该市也有搬迁旧建筑的记录。2018年，该市搬迁了虹口区一栋有90年历史的建筑，这被认为是上海迄今为止最复杂的搬迁项目。)”可知，作者通过举例子的方式展示了上海在保护历史建筑的成功。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Shanghai residents passing through the city’s eastern Huangpu District earlier this month might be surprised to catch an unusual sight: a “walking” building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground — in its entirety — and relocated using new technology called the “walking machine”.(本月早些时候，经过上海东部黄浦区的上海居民可能会惊讶地看到一个不同寻常的景象：一座“行走”的建筑。一所拥有85年历史的小学已经全部拔地而起，并使用名为“步行机”的新技术进行了搬迁。)”可知，本文主要通过上海运用技术完整搬迁一所学校引出话题，讲述了上海在保护历史建筑方面的努力，所以C项“上海一栋5层楼的建筑“步行”到一个新的地点”最适合作本文标题。故选C。 C The “cobot,” or collaborative robot, is rapidly transforming the modern workplace. Unlike traditional industrial robots that operate in isolated (孤立的) cages for safety, cobots are designed to work alongside humans. Equipped with advanced sensors and safety features, they can detect human presence and adjust their movements to prevent accidents. This partnership is enhancing productivity and reshaping job roles. In automotive assembly lines, cobots assist workers with repetitive, physically demanding tasks like lifting heavy parts. This reduces worker tiredness and the risk of injury. In electronics factories, their precision (精确度) is used for delicate tasks such as circuit board testing. A common concern is that cobots will replace human workers. However, evidence suggests they are more likely to change the nature of work. As cobots handle the dull, dirty, and dangerous jobs, human workers are freed to focus on more complex tasks that require problem-solving, creativity, and emotional intelligence — skills that machines cannot copy. The rise of cobots calls for a shift in the workforce’s skill set. There is a growing demand for employees who can program, manage, and maintain these advanced machines. This highlights the increasing importance of STEM education and continuous vocational training (职业培训) . This new strategy of human-robot cooperation (合作) is not about replacement, but about improving how we work together. The future lies in preparing the workforce for this new, collaborative environment. 8. What is special about the cobot described in the text? A. It operates entirely independently of human workers. B. It is designed for safe, direct cooperation with humans. C. It is primarily intended for helping us with housework. D. It is more powerful than traditional industrial robots. 9. According to the passage, a significant advantage of using cobots in production is that they can __________. A. entirely take the place of the human workforce. B. make creative decisions on the assembly line. C. take over repetitive or physically challenging tasks. D. be installed at a lower cost than ever before. 10. Why is it unnecessary to worry that robots will cause job loss? A. Cobots will be limited to only a few specific industries. B. Some human skills are very important and irreplaceable. C. Governments will introduce a universal basic income. D. Cobots are still not technologically advanced enough. 11. What can be inferred about the cobot era from the last paragraph? A. Current education systems are fully prepared for the rise of cobots. B. The value of repetitive and physically demanding work will increase. C. Technological progress should slow down to protect traditional jobs. D. Workers with technical and adaptive learning skills will be valued. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了协作机器人（cobot）的特点、应用场景、对工作的影响以及未来人机协作时代对劳动力技能的要求。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Unlike traditional industrial robots that operate in isolated cages for safety, cobots are designed to work alongside humans.(与传统工业机器人为安全起见在隔离笼中工作不同，协作机器人被设计为与人类并肩工作)”可知，协作机器人的特别之处在于能安全地与人类直接合作。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In automotive assembly lines, cobots assist workers with repetitive, physically demanding tasks like lifting heavy parts.(在汽车装配线上，协作机器人帮助工人完成重复性、体力要求高的工作，如搬运重型零件)”可知，协作机器人能承担重复性或体力挑战性工作。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“As cobots handle the dull, dirty, and dangerous jobs, human workers are freed to focus on more complex tasks that require problem-solving, creativity, and emotional intelligence — skills that machines cannot copy.(随着协作机器人承担起枯燥、肮脏、危险的工作，人类工人得以专注于更复杂的、需要解决问题、创造力和情商的工作 —— 这些技能是机器无法复制的)”可知，人类的一些技能非常重要且不可替代，不必担心机器人导致失业。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“There is a growing demand for employees who can program, manage, maintain these advanced machines.(对能够编程、管理和维护这些先进机器的员工需求越来越大)”可推知，拥有技术和适应学习能力的工人会受到重视。 D Short videos have become a major source of entertainment and information for teenagers worldwide. With just a few touches on the screen, viewers can enjoy endless content ranging from funny moments to learning materials. Yet recent psychological studies warn that long-hour exposure to short videos may be quietly damaging people’s ability to focus on demanding tasks. Researchers carried out a study among 200 high school students. One group was asked to watch short videos for at least two hours a day for two weeks, while the other avoided such videos during the same period. Both groups then took tests that required continuous attention and deep thinking. Results showed that the short-video group scored significantly lower and took much longer to complete the tasks. They were easily distracted and often gave up halfway when facing difficult problems. Scientists explain the reason. Short videos provide constant, instant satisfaction. Every 15 to 60 seconds, a new picture or idea appears, training the brain to seek quick fun instead of patience. Over time, this makes it harder for the brain to deal with slow-paced, complex activities. Such a change may impair one’s ability to concentrate and think deeply. The study does not suggest that short videos are completely bad. Used properly, they can bring knowledge and relaxation. However, students are advised to control viewing time and actively exercise their focus by reading, studying or doing creative hobbies. Finding a balance between digital fun and meaningful work is the key to keeping a sharp and healthy mind. 12. What is the public’s general view on short videos according to Paragraph 1? A. They harm students’ mental health. B. They are convenient and widely welcomed. C. They improve problem-solving skills. D. They reduce independent thinking ability. 13. What can be inferred from the study results? A. Regular short-video watchers may become less patient. B. All students are easily distracted by digital media. C. Deep thinking can hardly be improved in daily life. D. Short videos should be totally banned on campus. 14. What does the underlined word “impair” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. weaken B. improve C. replace D. reflect 15. What is the author’s attitude towards short videos? A. Supportive B. Unconcerned C. Objective D. Doubtful 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了短视频在青少年中广泛流行的现状，并通过研究说明长时间观看短视频会损害专注力与深度思考能力，同时提出合理使用、平衡娱乐与学习的建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Short videos have become a major source of entertainment and information for teenagers worldwide. With just a few touches on the screen, viewers can enjoy endless content ranging from funny moments to learning materials.(短视频已成为全球青少年主要的娱乐和信息来源。只需在屏幕上简单触碰，观众就能享受从搞笑片段到学习资料的无尽内容)”可知，公众普遍认为短视频方便且广受喜爱。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Results showed that the short-video group scored significantly lower and took much longer to complete the tasks. They were easily distracted and often gave up halfway when facing difficult problems.(结果显示，短视频组得分明显更低，完成任务耗时更长。他们容易分心，遇到难题时常半途而废)”可推知，经常看短视频的人可能会变得缺乏耐心。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段 Over time, this makes it harder for the brain to deal with slow-paced, complex activities. Such a change may impair one’s ability to concentrate and think deeply.(久而久之，这会让大脑更难处理慢节奏、复杂的活动。这种变化可能会impair一个人专注和深度思考的能力)”可推知，长久以来，大脑更难处理慢节奏、复杂的活动，这会削弱一个人的专注力和深度思考的能力，由此可推知，划线单词impair 意为 “削弱、损害”，与 weaken含义相近。 【15题详解】 观点态度题。根据文章第四段“The study does not suggest that short videos are completely bad. Used properly, they can bring knowledge and relaxation. However, students are advised to control viewing time and actively exercise their focus by reading, studying or doing creative hobbies. Finding a balance between digital fun and meaningful work is the key to keeping a sharp and healthy mind.(该研究并非表明短视频完全不好。合理使用，它们能带来知识和放松。不过，建议学生控制观看时长，并通过阅读、学习或开展创造性爱好主动锻炼专注力。在数字娱乐与有意义的学习 / 工作之间找到平衡，是保持思维敏锐、头脑健康的关键。)”可推知，作者对短视频的态度是客观的。 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。 Music influences your emotions. In turn, your emotions influence your behavior. One of these is your food intake. ____16____ What does science say about this subject? Researchers at the University of Arkansas studied how music influences people when they eat in a restaurant. For the study, they used four types of music: jazz, classical, rock, and hip-hop. Their results showed that people had more appetite when they listened to jazz music while they ate. ____17____ This has a lot to do with emotions. For instance, when you listen to music with harmonic rhythms like jazz, you feel happier. This increases your appetite. However, another study published in Psychological Reports suggests it isn’t only increased appetite that causes people to eat more. ____18____ A more stimuli-filled environment makes you eat more. In fact, they tend to urge you on to eat and even “encourage” you to eat faster. On the other hand, if the atmosphere in the restaurant is relaxed, you’re likely to feel more relaxed and spend more time enjoying yourself. For this reason, you’ll tend to eat less. Besides, the study conducted by the Journal of the Academy suggests that the volume of music can also have an effect on how you eat. More specifically, the study states that, with low-volume music, you eat better because you make healthier choices. On the other hand, the study claims that music at high volume increases stimulation and stress. ____19____ For this reason, restaurants should consider the fact when thinking about the optimization of their products and services. ____20____ They equip themselves with the technology needed to provide memorable experiences through music, greatly strengthening their relationship with the customer. A. Does music influence how you eat? B. Being in a rush to eat also plays a part. C. Does your emotion boost your appetite? D. However, they had less appetite when listening to hip-hop. E. In fact, many catering establishments have already taken action. F. This could prove to be quite an interesting concept for restaurants. G. This means you’re more likely to order comfort food or other unhealthy options. 【答案】16. A 17. D 18. B 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。研究表明音乐会影响我们的饮食。因此，饭店在思考优化他们的产品和服务时要考虑到这个事实。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Music influences your emotions. In turn, your emotions influence your behavior. One of these is your food intake.”（音乐影响你的情绪。 反过来，你的情绪会影响你的行为。 其中之一是您的食物摄入量）可知，音乐会影响我们的食物摄入量。根据下文“What does science say about this subject? ”（科学对这个主题有什么看法？）以及下文研究的内容可知，该空提出“音乐会影响我们的饮食吗？”故选A。 【17题详解】 根据上文“For the study, they used four types of music: jazz, classical, rock, and hip-hop. Their results showed that people had more appetite when they listened to jazz music while they ate. ”（在这项研究中，他们使用了四种类型的音乐：爵士、古典、摇滚和嘻哈。 他们的结果表明，人们在吃饭时听爵士乐的胃口更大）可知，此空为和jazz, classical, rock, and hip-hop有关的研究的其中一个结果。故选D。 【18题详解】 下文“A more stimuli-filled environment makes you eat more. In fact, they tend to spur you on to eat and even “encourage” you to eat faster.”（一个更充满刺激的环境会让你吃得更多。 事实上，它们往往会刺激你吃东西，甚至“鼓励”你吃得更快）是对上文“ it isn’t only increased appetite that causes people to eat more.”（不仅仅是食欲增加导致人们吃得更多）以及空格处的补充说明。选项B中的also对应上文的isn’t only；in a rush对应下文的spur you on to eat; eat faster。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据上文“On the other hand, the study claims that music at high volume increases stimulation and stress.”（另一方面，该研究声称高音量的音乐会增加刺激和压力）可知此部分和上文“with low-volume music, you eat better because you make healthier choices.”（使用低音量的音乐，您吃得更好，因为您做出了更健康的选择）为转折关系。选项G中unhealthy options对应上文的healthy choices。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“For this reason, restaurants should consider the fact when thinking about the optimization of their products and services.”（因此，餐厅在考虑优化其产品和服务时应考虑到这一事实）可知此段的关键词为restaurants，下文“They equip themselves with the technology needed to provide memorable experiences through music, greatly strengthening their relationship with the customer.”（他们为自己配备了通过音乐提供难忘体验所需的技术，大大加强了他们与客户的关系）说的也同样是餐馆，They指代的就是上文restaurants相关的方面。横线句起承上启下的作用，选项E中 catering establishments对应restaurants。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用 (共四节，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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I entered senior high school, our school launched a ____21____ reading program for left-behind children in a mountain village.

Sunlight streamed through the windows, lighting up Lily’s pencil box. The words “Honor First, Victory (胜利) Follows” shone like gold. These words had always been our belief. We’d been study partners since high school started, sharing sandwiches and celebrating tests under the old oak tree in the courtyard. I was busy with my exam when her strawberry-shaped eraser, a gift from me last birthday, which once saw our late-night study, rolled near my math paper. Just one seat away, Lily took a deep breath. Her eyes darted (来回扫视) between the teacher and a folded paper in her grey sweater sleeve. It seemed that the words on the note she prepared beforehand had become unclear. So, Lily tapped my knee with her foot—our silent signal from soccer practices, then pushed another paper with several words toward me. Its edge caught the light, sharp and bright. Raising my head, I saw Teacher Rivera pacing between desks, her glasses sliding down her nose. Out of nervousness, I felt my mouth dry. My pencil slipped from my sweaty fingers, dropping to the floor. The clock ticked loudly. Twenty minutes left, each second heavier. The room was silent except for the clock. Telling on (告发) Lily meant losing three years of memories: movie nights, soccer games, and the snowy morning she brought me homework. Staying silent would break our promise of honesty. A fly buzzed against the window, like my thoughts. I remembered a soccer game in the rain. Lily fell in the mud. “Honor first!” she said, refusing my help as she got up with bleeding elbows. Now her shoe pushed the paper closer. Her eyes begged through her hair. 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。 With fifteen minutes left, I knew I had to make a choice. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the exam, Lily and I sat in silence under the old oak tree. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 With fifteen minutes left, I knew I had to make a choice. I took a deep breath and gently pushed the paper back toward Lily. Her eyes widened in surprise. I gave her a smile and pointed to the words on her pencil box: ”Honor First, Victory Follows.” Lily’s face flushed. She nodded, stepped on the paper and paid no attention to it anymore. Together, we focused on the remaining questions, using our brains instead of notes. The last few minutes were tense, but we felt a new sense of teamwork. When the bell finally rang, we handed in our papers, looking at each other with relief. After the exam, Lily and I sat in silence under the old oak tree. The sunlight streamed through the leaves, casting shadows on our faces. After what seemed a century, I broke the silence and explained, “We promised to be honest, so...” Lily nodded, tears in her eyes. “I know. I was just so scared of failing.” We hugged tightly, knowing our bond was stronger than any test score. The oak tree’s leaves rustled above us, as if cheering us on. From then on, we studied even harder, facing challenges together with honesty and courage. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了期末考试中，“我”发现同桌兼好友莉莉试图作弊传纸条。想起“荣誉第一”的信念和过往约定，“我”拒绝并提醒她。最终两人诚实应考，事后和解，决心以诚信共同面对挑战。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“还有15分钟，我知道我必须做出选择”可知，第一段可描写作者做出了怎样的选择以及莉莉对此的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“考试结束后，我和莉莉静静地坐在老橡树下”可知，第二段可描写作者和莉莉和好如初以及感悟。 2.续写线索：做出选择——选择友谊——找到团队合作感——松了口气——考试结束——和解——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拥抱：hug/embrace ②集中：focus on/concentrate on ③看着：look at/stare at 情绪类 ①害怕：scared/afraid ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] When the bell finally rang, we handed in our papers, looking at each other with relief.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] We hugged tightly, knowing our bond was stronger than any test score.（运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度第二学期期中考试 高二英语 注意事项 考生在答题前请认真阅读本注意事项及各题答题要求。 1. 本试卷共11页。满分为150分，考试时间为120分钟。考试结束后，请将答题卡交回。 2. 答题前，请将自己的姓名、考试号等用书写黑色字迹的0.5毫米签字笔填写在答题卡的规定位置。 3. 请认真核对答题卡表头规定填写或填涂的项目是否准确。 4. 作答选择题必须用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；如需改动，请用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案。作答非选择题，必须用书写黑色字迹的0.5毫米签字笔写在答题卡上的指定位置，在其他位置作答一律无效。 第一部分：听力 (共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分) 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。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B Shanghai residents passing through the city’s eastern Huangpu District earlier this month might be surprised to catch an unusual sight: a “walking” building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground — in its entirety — and relocated using new technology called the “walking machine”. In the city’s latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers attached nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-storey building. The supports act like robotic legs. They’re split into two groups which alternately (交替地) rise up and down, imitating the human stride. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward. In recent decades, China’s rapid modernization has seen many historic buildings razed to clear land for grand skyscrapers and office buildings. But there has been growing concern about the architectural heritage lost as a result of tear-down across the country. Shanghai has arguably been China’s most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a number of 1930s buildings in the famous Bund district and 19th-century “shikumen” (or “stone gate”) houses in the renovated Xintiandi neighborhood have offered examples of how to give old buildings new life. The city also has a track record of relocating old buildings. In 2018, the city relocated a 90-year-old building in Hongkou District, in what was then considered to be Shanghai’s most complex relocation project to date. The Lagena Primary School, which weighs 7,600 tons, posed a new challenge — it’s T-shaped, whereas previously relocated structures were square or rectangular. Experts and technicians met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the “walking machine”. Citizens welcome and appreciate the efforts made by the municipal government to protect these old buildings. In their eyes, not only are the old buildings part of their memory but they also represent part of Shanghai’s history. 4. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. A “walking building” can often be seen in Shanghai. B. The 85-year-old building is called “walking machine”. C. The 85-year-old building is the first building to be relocated. D. Engineers relocated the building without breaking it into parts. 5. Which are excluded from the project of relocating the building? A. Mobile supports. B. Robotic legs. C. Attached sensors. D. Technical engineers. 6. The author shows Shanghai’s success in protecting historic buildings by ______. A. listing figures B. giving reasons C. making comparisons D. providing examples 7. What is probably the best title for the passage? A. Many old buildings in Shanghai have been relocated. B. Shanghai is making great efforts to preserve old buildings. C. A 5-storey building in Shanghai “walks” to a new location. D. Citizens in Shanghai are shocked to see buildings relocated. C The “cobot,” or collaborative robot, is rapidly transforming the modern workplace. Unlike traditional industrial robots that operate in isolated (孤立的) cages for safety, cobots are designed to work alongside humans. Equipped with advanced sensors and safety features, they can detect human presence and adjust their movements to prevent accidents. This partnership is enhancing productivity and reshaping job roles. In automotive assembly lines, cobots assist workers with repetitive, physically demanding tasks like lifting heavy parts. This reduces worker tiredness and the risk of injury. In electronics factories, their precision (精确度) is used for delicate tasks such as circuit board testing. A common concern is that cobots will replace human workers. However, evidence suggests they are more likely to change the nature of work. As cobots handle the dull, dirty, and dangerous jobs, human workers are freed to focus on more complex tasks that require problem-solving, creativity, and emotional intelligence — skills that machines cannot copy. The rise of cobots calls for a shift in the workforce’s skill set. There is a growing demand for employees who can program, manage, and maintain these advanced machines. This highlights the increasing importance of STEM education and continuous vocational training (职业培训) . This new strategy of human-robot cooperation (合作) is not about replacement, but about improving how we work together. The future lies in preparing the workforce for this new, collaborative environment. 8. What is special about the cobot described in the text? A. It operates entirely independently of human workers. B. It is designed for safe, direct cooperation with humans. C. It is primarily intended for helping us with housework. D. It is more powerful than traditional industrial robots. 9. According to the passage, a significant advantage of using cobots in production is that they can __________. A. entirely take the place of the human workforce. B. make creative decisions on the assembly line. C. take over repetitive or physically challenging tasks. D. be installed at a lower cost than ever before. 10. Why is it unnecessary to worry that robots will cause job loss? A. Cobots will be limited to only a few specific industries. B. Some human skills are very important and irreplaceable. C. Governments will introduce a universal basic income. D. Cobots are still not technologically advanced enough. 11. What can be inferred about the cobot era from the last paragraph? A. Current education systems are fully prepared for the rise of cobots. B. The value of repetitive and physically demanding work will increase. C. Technological progress should slow down to protect traditional jobs. D. Workers with technical and adaptive learning skills will be valued. D Short videos have become a major source of entertainment and information for teenagers worldwide. With just a few touches on the screen, viewers can enjoy endless content ranging from funny moments to learning materials. Yet recent psychological studies warn that long-hour exposure to short videos may be quietly damaging people’s ability to focus on demanding tasks. Researchers carried out a study among 200 high school students. One group was asked to watch short videos for at least two hours a day for two weeks, while the other avoided such videos during the same period. Both groups then took tests that required continuous attention and deep thinking. Results showed that the short-video group scored significantly lower and took much longer to complete the tasks. They were easily distracted and often gave up halfway when facing difficult problems. Scientists explain the reason. Short videos provide constant, instant satisfaction. Every 15 to 60 seconds, a new picture or idea appears, training the brain to seek quick fun instead of patience. Over time, this makes it harder for the brain to deal with slow-paced, complex activities. Such a change may impair one’s ability to concentrate and think deeply.

One of these is your food intake. ____16____ What does science say about this subject? Researchers at the University of Arkansas studied how music influences people when they eat in a restaurant. For the study, they used four types of music: jazz, classical, rock, and hip-hop. Their results showed that people had more appetite when they listened to jazz music while they ate. ____17____ This has a lot to do with emotions. For instance, when you listen to music with harmonic rhythms like jazz, you feel happier. This increases your appetite. However, another study published in Psychological Reports suggests it isn’t only increased appetite that causes people to eat more. ____18____ A more stimuli-filled environment makes you eat more. In fact, they tend to urge you on to eat and even “encourage” you to eat faster. On the other hand, if the atmosphere in the restaurant is relaxed, you’re likely to feel more relaxed and spend more time enjoying yourself. For this reason, you’ll tend to eat less. Besides, the study conducted by the Journal of the Academy suggests that the volume of music can also have an effect on how you eat. More specifically, the study states that, with low-volume music, you eat better because you make healthier choices. On the other hand, the study claims that music at high volume increases stimulation and stress. ____19____ For this reason, restaurants should consider the fact when thinking about the optimization of their products and services. ____20____ They equip themselves with the technology needed to provide memorable experiences through music, greatly strengthening their relationship with the customer. A. Does music influence how you eat? B. Being in a rush to eat also plays a part. C. Does your emotion boost your appetite? D. However, they had less appetite when listening to hip-hop. E. In fact, many catering establishments have already taken action. F. This could prove to be quite an interesting concept for restaurants. G. This means you’re more likely to order comfort food or other unhealthy options. 第三部分 语言运用 (共四节，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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I entered senior high school, our school launched a ____21____ reading program for left-behind children in a mountain village.

Sunlight streamed through the windows, lighting up Lily’s pencil box. The words “Honor First, Victory (胜利) Follows” shone like gold. These words had always been our belief. We’d been study partners since high school started, sharing sandwiches and celebrating tests under the old oak tree in the courtyard. I was busy with my exam when her strawberry-shaped eraser, a gift from me last birthday, which once saw our late-night study, rolled near my math paper. Just one seat away, Lily took a deep breath. Her eyes darted (来回扫视) between the teacher and a folded paper in her grey sweater sleeve. It seemed that the words on the note she prepared beforehand had become unclear. So, Lily tapped my knee with her foot—our silent signal from soccer practices, then pushed another paper with several words toward me. Its edge caught the light, sharp and bright. Raising my head, I saw Teacher Rivera pacing between desks, her glasses sliding down her nose. Out of nervousness, I felt my mouth dry. My pencil slipped from my sweaty fingers, dropping to the floor. The clock ticked loudly. Twenty minutes left, each second heavier. The room was silent except for the clock. Telling on (告发) Lily meant losing three years of memories: movie nights, soccer games, and the snowy morning she brought me homework. Staying silent would break our promise of honesty. A fly buzzed against the window, like my thoughts. I remembered a soccer game in the rain. Lily fell in the mud. “Honor first!” she said, refusing my help as she got up with bleeding elbows. Now her shoe pushed the paper closer. Her eyes begged through her hair. 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。 With fifteen minutes left, I knew I had to make a choice. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the exam, Lily and I sat in silence under the old oak tree. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
