Besides reducing waste and our impact on the environment, it can speed up construction from weeks, or months, to days. To see how the technology can change the world around us, here are some projects that highlight bold ideas in 3D print building. Instant Neighborhood Community building takes on new meaning with the creation of a neighborhood of 3D printed homes in Tabasco, Mexico, aimed at tackling global homelessness. American non-profit New Story and tech company ICON built each concrete house from start to completion in 24 hours. New Story says its aim is to provide shelter for people without homes around the world. Nested Housing Shamballa is the idea of Italian 3D print construction company WASP. This project uses soil and straw to build a home in days that cost only 48 Euros in materials and energy. Its round designs are based on the wasp(黄蜂)nest. Each home features a laboratory with a desktop 3D printer for making furniture, artistic objects and more. Think Schools African island state Madagascar is hosting one of the world’s most forward-thinking school building projects. Non-profit Thinking Huts is using 3D print technology to provide schools where children have little or no access to education. Schools are built using local materials and low carbon concrete in under a week. Concrete Steps Researchers at the Swiss University ETH Zurich used concrete 3D printing to build the 16 metre long curved Striatus footbridge in a couple of days. The project used500 layers of concrete and53 hollow blocks, held in place by compression(压缩). This reduces materials by up to 70 percent, and the entire bridge can be pulled down and recycled. 1. What could be the inspiration behind the design of Nested Housing? A. A featured laboratory. B. A forward-thinking school C. A round wasp nest. D. A long stone bridge. 2. Which 3D construction project can be torn down and reused? A. Instant Neighborhood. B. Concrete Steps. C. Think School. D. Nested Housing. 3. What do these four 3D building projects have in common? A. They use local materials. B. They are affordable to the homeless C. They are high in cost. D. They make construction faster. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3.

He had just won a major regional race and was eyeing the national championships. But a motorcycle accident changed everything. The 24-year-old almost lost his left leg, leaving him unable to walk, let alone ride a bike. Doctors said his cycling career might have to come to an end. Marcos, who was studying sports science at the University of São Paulo, was heartbroken. For the first several days, he lay in the hospital bed and thought about how to deal with the rest of his life. In the end, he chose not to give in. With the support of his family and coaches, he began a long and hard process. Every day, he received physical treatment, relearning basic movements. “It was the darkest time of my life,” he said. Slowly, Marcos made progress. He found adaptive cycling, which uses specially designed bikes for disabled (残疾的) athletes. With a newfound hope, he combined his study with intense training on his adapted bike. His professors encouraged him, providing flexible study schedules so he could focus on recovery and training. There were days when pain made training unbearable, and self-doubt threatened to beat him. But he pushed through, inspired by his love for the sport. Coach Oliveira, who had trained Marcos for years, was amazed by his performance. “Marcos proves that if you have the courage to keep going, nothing is impossible,” he stated. This year, Marcos made a remarkable comeback at the South American Adaptive Cycling Championships. Though he didn’t win, his presence on track was a victory in itself. “I’m hack the bike, that’s all that matter. If my story can give hope to others facing similar problems, that would mean everything,” Marcos shared. 4. What happened to Marcos last year? A. He suffered serious leg injuries. B. He took a totally different career path. C. He performed worse than expected. D. He won the national cycling championship. 5. How did Marcos originally react to his injury? A. He decided to give up cycling. B. He turned to his family and coaches. C. He was at a loss what to do. D. He immediately started training again. 6. Why did Marcos return to competitive cycling? A. To become a cycling coach. B. To prove an athlete should aim high. C. To test the limits of adaptive cycling technology. D. To inspire others to face their challenges bravely. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Marcos? A. Creative and confident. B. Energetic and careful. C. Patient and humorous. D. Responsible and determined. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述巴西自行车手Marcos Santos遭遇车祸，面对伤痛坚持不放弃，最后成功复出，希望用自己的故事激励别人克服困难。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The 24-year-old almost lost his left leg, leaving him unable to walk, let alone ride a bike.(24岁的他几乎失去了左腿，无法走路，更不用说骑自行车了)”可知，去年Marcos腿部遭受了严重的创伤，故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“For the first several days, he lay in the hospital bed and thought about how to deal with the rest of his life.(在最初的几天里，他躺在医院的病床上，思考着如何度过余生)”可知，对于受伤，Marcos起初不知所措，故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“‘I’m hack the bike, d that’s all that matter. If my story can give hope to others facing similar problems, that would mean everything,’ Marcos shared.(‘我回到自行车运动了，这才是最重要的。如果我的故事能给面临类似问题的人带来希望，那就意味着一切。” Marcos分享道)”可知，Marcos复出是为了激励别人勇敢面对挑战，故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘I’m hack the bike, d that’s all that matter. If my story can give hope to others facing similar problems, that would mean everything,’ Marcos shared.(‘我回到自行车运动了，这才是最重要的。如果我的故事能给面临类似问题的人带来希望，那就意味着一切。” Marcos分享道)”可知，Marcos希望自己的故事能激励别人克服困难，说明他有责任心；根据第二段中“In the end, he chose not to give in.(最后，他选择不屈服)”和第四段“There were days when pain made training unbearable, and self-doubt threatened to beat him. But he pushed through, inspired by his love for the sport.(有几天，疼痛使他无法忍受训练，自我怀疑威胁着要打败他。但他坚持了下来，受到他对这项运动的热爱的鼓舞)”可知，面对伤痛，Marcos选择不屈服并坚持下来，说明他有决心，故选D。 C NASA’s Artemis program aims to return humans to the Moon by the mid-2020s, including the first woman and the next man. Unlike the Apollo missions of the 1960s and 1970s, which focused on short stays, Artemis plans to establish a sustainable human presence on the lunar surface. The Gateway — a small space station orbiting the Moon — will serve as a hub for astronauts traveling to and from the lunar surface and deeper space. One of the key goals is to explore the Moon’s south pole, where scientists believe there may be frozen water in permanently shadowed craters (坑). This water could be used for drinking, growing food, and even producing rocket fuel. Additionally, the lunar surface offers a unique environment for testing technologies needed for future missions to Mars and beyond. The low gravity (重力) — and lack of atmosphere make it an ideal place to test new spacecraft, life support systems, and radiation shielding. Critics argue that the cost of such programs is too high, with billions of dollars spent on space exploration while many issues on Earth remain unsolved. However, supporters point out that space research has led to numerous technological advancements that benefit daily life, such as GPS, medical imaging, and improved water purification systems. They also believe that expanding humanity’s presence in space is essential for the long-term survival of our species. 8. What is the main difference between the Artemis program and the Apollo missions? A. Artemis will send more astronauts to the Moon. B. Artemis plans for long-term human presence on the Moon. C. Artemis focuses on scientific experiments rather than exploration. D. Artemis aims to land on the Moon’s far side. 9. Why is the Moon’s south pole a key exploration target? A. It has the most favorable landing conditions. B. It may contain frozen water which is highly valuable. C. It is the closest area to Earth on the Moon. D. It has been unexplored by previous missions. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards space exploration? A. Critical of its high costs. B. Doubtful about its practical benefits. C. Supportive of its long-term value. D. Neutral without personal opinion. 11. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The Artemis program will be completed by 2025. B. Water on the Moon has already been confirmed. C. Space technologies often have practical Earth applications. D. Mars will be the next target after the Apollo missions. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】主要说明了美国阿尔忒弥斯计划旨在重返月球并建立长期驻留基地，重点探索月球南极水源，还可测试火星探测技术。文章客观呈现了公众对太空探索耗资与实用价值的争议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Unlike the Apollo missions of the 1960s and 1970s, which focused on short stays, Artemis plans to establish a sustainable human presence on the lunar surface.(与20世纪60年代和70年代的阿波罗任务不同，后者侧重于短暂停留，而“阿尔忒弥斯”计划旨在在月球表面建立可持续的人类存在)”可知，阿耳忒弥斯计划与阿波罗任务的主要区别是阿尔忒弥斯计划旨在实现人类在月球的长期驻留。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One of the key goals is to explore the Moon’s south pole, where scientists believe there may be frozen water in permanently shadowed craters (坑).(其中一个主要目标是探索月球的南极地区，科学家们认为在那里可能存在处于永久阴影中的陨石坑中所蕴藏的冰水)”可知，月球南极成为重要的探索目标是因为那里可能蕴藏着宝贵的冰冻水。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Critics argue that the cost of such programs is too high, with billions of dollars spent on space exploration while many issues on Earth remain unsolved. However, supporters point out that space research has led to numerous technological advancements that benefit daily life, such as GPS, medical imaging, and improved water purification systems.(批评者认为这类项目的成本过高，因为大量资金被用于太空探索，而地球上仍有许多问题尚未解决。然而，支持者则指出，太空研究带来了众多对日常生活有益的技术进步，比如全球定位系统、医学成像技术以及改进的水净化系统)”可知，文章只是客观陈述反对者和支持者的不同观点，未发表个人立场。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“However, supporters point out that space research has led to numerous technological advancements that benefit daily life, such as GPS, medical imaging, and improved water purification systems. They also believe that expanding humanity’s presence in space is essential for the long-term survival of our species.(然而，支持者则指出，太空研究带来了众多对日常生活有益的技术进步，比如全球定位系统、医学成像技术以及改进的水净化系统。他们还认为，扩大人类在太空的存在对于人类的长期生存至关重要)”可知，太空技术往往具有实际的地球应用价值。 D Imagine walking through a garden after sunset. We don’t need to turn the outdoor lights on; the space is already lit by a soft glow (微光) from common houseplants along the path. Now, researchers have taken a step toward making that scene a reality. A team of scientists at South China Agricultural University has managed to create succulents (多肉植物) that glow in the dark. They injected the plants with strontium aluminate (铝酸锶), the same material used in glow-in-the-dark stars children sometimes stick to their bedroom ceilings. This material can naturally absorb sunlight or LED light and release it slowly and steadily. Moreover, they found that the succulents can glow in multiple different colors, forming a rainbow of lights — even in the same succulent. The scientists experimented with various plants, including bok choy and golden pothos, but found that succulents were uniquely suitable. They produced a strong glow due to their leaves’ thin, uniform, and evenly distributed channels, which enabled the large particles to spread more successfully. The researchers even constructed a glowing wall with 56 succulent plants, which could light nearby objects and even enable them to read a text. After being recharged, each succulent glowed for about two hours. However, their glow diminished overtime. So, the next step is to improve the longevity of the plants’ glow. The researchers also note that the impact of the injected particles on the plants’ long-term health is still unclear, so further safety testing will be required. “In the world of Avatar, glowing plants light up an entire ecosystem. We want to make that vision possible using materials we already work with in the lab,” says Shuting Liu, first author of the research. The team hopes their work, which is still in the early phases, will one day pave the way for a novel sustainable lighting system. “Imagine glowing trees replacing streetlights,” Liu adds. 12. What do we know about the glow-in-the-dark succulents? A. They can change into different colors. B. They can recharge with exposure to light. C. They rely mainly on sunlight for energy. D. They need to be planted in special soil 13. What made succulents perform better than other plants in the experiment? A. Their unique leaf structures. B. Their strong root systems. C. Their ability to absorb light. D. Their resistance to chemicals. 14. What does the underlined word “diminished” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. appeared. B. remained. C. brightened. D. weakened 15. What can we expect of the new lighting technology? A. It will provide a sustainable lighting solution. B. It will become affordable for most people. C. It will be applied in various fields soon. D. It will revolutionize traditional lighting systems. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】主要说明了科研团队注入特殊材料培育出夜光多肉，其叶片结构适配发光，可自主吸光释光。目前发光时长有限且安全性待验证，未来有望打造可持续植物照明。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This material can naturally absorb sunlight or LED light and release it slowly and steadily.(这种材料能够自然地吸收阳光或LED光，并以缓慢而稳定的速率将其释放出来)”可知，这些夜光多肉植物可以通过接受光照来恢复能量。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They produced a strong glow due to their leaves’ thin, uniform, and evenly distributed channels, which enabled the large particles to spread more successfully.(由于它们叶子内部的通道细小、均匀且分布均匀，这使得较大的颗粒能够更有效地扩散开来，从而产生了强烈的光芒)”可知，在实验中，多肉植物的表现优于其他植物是因为它们独特的叶片结构。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“After being recharged, each succulent glowed for about two hours.( 充电后，每株多肉植物都会发光约两个小时)”以及后文“So, the next step is to improve the longevity of the plants’ glow.(所以，接下来要做的就是延长植物发光的持续时间)”可知，多肉每次发光约两小时，后续发光效果会慢慢变弱，所以要延长发光时长。故划线词意思是“削弱”。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The team hopes their work, which is still in the early phases, will one day pave the way for a novel sustainable lighting system. “Imagine glowing trees replacing streetlights,” Liu adds.(该团队希望他们的这项工作（目前仍处于初期阶段）能够有一天为一种新型的可持续照明系统铺平道路。“想象一下，会发光的树木取代路灯的情景吧。”刘补充道)”可知，这种新的照明技术将提供一种可持续的照明解决方案。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Travel Like a Local Traveling is more than just visiting famous places.

I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case. One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100, and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket. When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever. Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold. If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes. The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos he had taken as the school photographer. 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。 Paragraph 1: I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?“ I was shocked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. It was a picture of the pumpkin we had carved together. Underneath, Brian had written, “My first real win with my brother. Even if we didn’t get first, it was a victory because we worked as a team.” Seeing those words, a wave of guilt washed over me. I remembered how I had selfishly taken all the money and lied to him. I realized how much I had let him down. I turned to Brian, ready to confess everything. Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?” I was shocked. Brian just smiled gently and said, “I always knew. But I also knew that you needed that game more than the money at that time. And I was proud of our teamwork, not the prize. I hoped one day you’d understand the real meaning of winning together.” His words made me feel even more ashamed. I apologized sincerely, vowing to make it up to him. From then on, I truly understood my role as his guardian angel and the importance of true brotherhood. 【解析】 【导语】本文以兄弟情谊为线索展开，讲述了作者一直被要求照顾体弱的哥哥布莱恩，在学校南瓜雕刻比赛中，作者因手指笨拙求助布莱恩，两人约定平分奖金，最终获得二等奖仅50美元，作者为买心仪的游戏，独自拿走奖金并向布莱恩撒谎。多年后，布莱恩收拾大学行李时，作者在他的相册里发现当年南瓜的照片，才得知布莱恩早已知道真相，从而领悟到兄弟情谊的真谛的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“作者正欣赏着照片，突然一张照片吸引了他的目光。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到当年两人一起雕刻的南瓜照片，以及布莱恩写下的文字，内心充满愧疚，决定向布莱恩坦白当年的谎言。 ②由第二段首句内容““你竟然早就知道，却什么也没说？”作者震惊不已。”可知，第二段可描写布莱恩温柔解释自己早已知晓真相，在乎的是兄弟间的协作而非奖金，作者真诚道歉，领悟到兄弟情谊的重要性。 2.续写线索：翻看相册——发现照片——内心愧疚——决定坦白——得知真相——真诚道歉——领悟真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①席卷：wash over/sweep over ②坦白：confess/admit ③发誓：vow/promise 情绪类 ①愧疚：guilt/ashamed ②对……感到自豪：be proud of/ take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1] Seeing those words, a wave of guilt washed over me.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] But I also knew that you needed that game more than the money at that time.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年上学期高二期中考试 英语试卷 第一部分听力(共两节，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段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，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。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Besides reducing waste and our impact on the environment, it can speed up construction from weeks, or months, to days. To see how the technology can change the world around us, here are some projects that highlight bold ideas in 3D print building. Instant Neighborhood Community building takes on new meaning with the creation of a neighborhood of 3D printed homes in Tabasco, Mexico, aimed at tackling global homelessness. American non-profit New Story and tech company ICON built each concrete house from start to completion in 24 hours. New Story says its aim is to provide shelter for people without homes around the world. Nested Housing Shamballa is the idea of Italian 3D print construction company WASP. This project uses soil and straw to build a home in days that cost only 48 Euros in materials and energy. Its round designs are based on the wasp(黄蜂)nest. Each home features a laboratory with a desktop 3D printer for making furniture, artistic objects and more. Think Schools African island state Madagascar is hosting one of the world’s most forward-thinking school building projects. Non-profit Thinking Huts is using 3D print technology to provide schools where children have little or no access to education. Schools are built using local materials and low carbon concrete in under a week. Concrete Steps Researchers at the Swiss University ETH Zurich used concrete 3D printing to build the 16 metre long curved Striatus footbridge in a couple of days. The project used500 layers of concrete and53 hollow blocks, held in place by compression(压缩). This reduces materials by up to 70 percent, and the entire bridge can be pulled down and recycled. 1. What could be the inspiration behind the design of Nested Housing? A. A featured laboratory. B. A forward-thinking school C. A round wasp nest. D. A long stone bridge. 2. Which 3D construction project can be torn down and reused? A. Instant Neighborhood. B. Concrete Steps. C. Think School. D. Nested Housing. 3. What do these four 3D building projects have in common? A. They use local materials. B. They are affordable to the homeless C. They are high in cost. D. They make construction faster. B Last year, Brazilian cyclist Marcos Santos was at the best time of his career (事业). He had just won a major regional race and was eyeing the national championships. But a motorcycle accident changed everything. The 24-year-old almost lost his left leg, leaving him unable to walk, let alone ride a bike. Doctors said his cycling career might have to come to an end. Marcos, who was studying sports science at the University of São Paulo, was heartbroken. For the first several days, he lay in the hospital bed and thought about how to deal with the rest of his life. In the end, he chose not to give in. With the support of his family and coaches, he began a long and hard process. Every day, he received physical treatment, relearning basic movements. “It was the darkest time of my life,” he said. Slowly, Marcos made progress. He found adaptive cycling, which uses specially designed bikes for disabled (残疾的) athletes. With a newfound hope, he combined his study with intense training on his adapted bike. His professors encouraged him, providing flexible study schedules so he could focus on recovery and training. There were days when pain made training unbearable, and self-doubt threatened to beat him. But he pushed through, inspired by his love for the sport. Coach Oliveira, who had trained Marcos for years, was amazed by his performance. “Marcos proves that if you have the courage to keep going, nothing is impossible,” he stated. This year, Marcos made a remarkable comeback at the South American Adaptive Cycling Championships. Though he didn’t win, his presence on track was a victory in itself. “I’m hack the bike, that’s all that matter. If my story can give hope to others facing similar problems, that would mean everything,” Marcos shared. 4. What happened to Marcos last year? A. He suffered serious leg injuries. B. He took a totally different career path. C. He performed worse than expected. D. He won the national cycling championship. 5. How did Marcos originally react to his injury? A. He decided to give up cycling. B. He turned to his family and coaches. C. He was at a loss what to do. D. He immediately started training again. 6. Why did Marcos return to competitive cycling? A. To become a cycling coach. B. To prove an athlete should aim high. C. To test the limits of adaptive cycling technology. D. To inspire others to face their challenges bravely. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Marcos? A. Creative and confident. B. Energetic and careful. C. Patient and humorous. D. Responsible and determined. C NASA’s Artemis program aims to return humans to the Moon by the mid-2020s, including the first woman and the next man. Unlike the Apollo missions of the 1960s and 1970s, which focused on short stays, Artemis plans to establish a sustainable human presence on the lunar surface. The Gateway — a small space station orbiting the Moon — will serve as a hub for astronauts traveling to and from the lunar surface and deeper space. One of the key goals is to explore the Moon’s south pole, where scientists believe there may be frozen water in permanently shadowed craters (坑). This water could be used for drinking, growing food, and even producing rocket fuel. Additionally, the lunar surface offers a unique environment for testing technologies needed for future missions to Mars and beyond. The low gravity (重力) — and lack of atmosphere make it an ideal place to test new spacecraft, life support systems, and radiation shielding. Critics argue that the cost of such programs is too high, with billions of dollars spent on space exploration while many issues on Earth remain unsolved. However, supporters point out that space research has led to numerous technological advancements that benefit daily life, such as GPS, medical imaging, and improved water purification systems. They also believe that expanding humanity’s presence in space is essential for the long-term survival of our species. 8. What is the main difference between the Artemis program and the Apollo missions? A. Artemis will send more astronauts to the Moon. B. Artemis plans for long-term human presence on the Moon. C. Artemis focuses on scientific experiments rather than exploration. D. Artemis aims to land on the Moon’s far side. 9. Why is the Moon’s south pole a key exploration target? A. It has the most favorable landing conditions. B. It may contain frozen water which is highly valuable. C. It is the closest area to Earth on the Moon. D. It has been unexplored by previous missions. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards space exploration? A. Critical of its high costs. B. Doubtful about its practical benefits. C. Supportive of its long-term value. D. Neutral without personal opinion. 11. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The Artemis program will be completed by 2025. B. Water on the Moon has already been confirmed. C. Space technologies often have practical Earth applications. D. Mars will be the next target after the Apollo missions. D Imagine walking through a garden after sunset. We don’t need to turn the outdoor lights on; the space is already lit by a soft glow (微光) from common houseplants along the path. Now, researchers have taken a step toward making that scene a reality. A team of scientists at South China Agricultural University has managed to create succulents (多肉植物) that glow in the dark. They injected the plants with strontium aluminate (铝酸锶), the same material used in glow-in-the-dark stars children sometimes stick to their bedroom ceilings. This material can naturally absorb sunlight or LED light and release it slowly and steadily. Moreover, they found that the succulents can glow in multiple different colors, forming a rainbow of lights — even in the same succulent. The scientists experimented with various plants, including bok choy and golden pothos, but found that succulents were uniquely suitable. They produced a strong glow due to their leaves’ thin, uniform, and evenly distributed channels, which enabled the large particles to spread more successfully. The researchers even constructed a glowing wall with 56 succulent plants, which could light nearby objects and even enable them to read a text. After being recharged, each succulent glowed for about two hours. However, their glow diminished overtime. So, the next step is to improve the longevity of the plants’ glow. The researchers also note that the impact of the injected particles on the plants’ long-term health is still unclear, so further safety testing will be required. “In the world of Avatar, glowing plants light up an entire ecosystem. We want to make that vision possible using materials we already work with in the lab,” says Shuting Liu, first author of the research. The team hopes their work, which is still in the early phases, will one day pave the way for a novel sustainable lighting system. “Imagine glowing trees replacing streetlights,” Liu adds. 12. What do we know about the glow-in-the-dark succulents? A. They can change into different colors. B. They can recharge with exposure to light. C. They rely mainly on sunlight for energy. D. They need to be planted in special soil 13. What made succulents perform better than other plants in the experiment? A. Their unique leaf structures. B. Their strong root systems. C. Their ability to absorb light. D. Their resistance to chemicals. 14. What does the underlined word “diminished” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. appeared. B. remained. C. brightened. D. weakened 15. What can we expect of the new lighting technology? A. It will provide a sustainable lighting solution. B. It will become affordable for most people. C. It will be applied in various fields soon. D. It will revolutionize traditional lighting systems. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Travel Like a Local Traveling is more than just visiting famous places.

I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case. One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100, and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket. When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever. Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold. If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes. The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos he had taken as the school photographer. 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。 Paragraph 1: I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?“ I was shocked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
