Passage15(2025浙江温州二模,D)
主题:科技创新答案:P419
In the risky world of nuclear arms control,Princeton student Lepowsky is exploring how
robots can make inspections more accurate and acceptable to host nations worried about inva-
sive()traditional methods.His latest research has led to a robot performing inspections
without saving sensitive information.
"The host nation likely won't want a human inspector poking their nose around,said
Lepowsky."But even a robot has memory and sensors acquiring data."The goal is to have
high-confidence inspections without the robot saving information.For example,the robot
would not save radiation measurements or create floor plans of sensitive areas.
The new prototype()is built on an iRobot Create 3 platform,an educational robot.
Robots offer advantages over human inspectors:they can tolerate higher radiation levels,are
more consistent,and can be cheaper.They also can be programmed to generate trust,such as
not using cameras to avoid seeing unwanted details.The idea for the robot started with
Lepowsky's adviser,Glaser,who was curious about creating a "forgetful robot"that could
perform highly accurate nuclear arms inspections but forget everything afterward.This led to
an even more interesting idea:"Rather than forgetting,we're not even remembering in the first
place,"Lepowsky said.He believes this feature can reassure hosts concerned about privacy.
Lepowsky likes the interdisciplinary nature of his work-drawing on both his robotics and
policy expertise-and he likes that it requires a breadth of knowledge,not just depth.He values
that his research is grounded in real-life applications for global security and nuclear
nonproliferation(防扩散).
Predicting when the robot might be used in the field is difficult."It's easy to say,today,it's
not very realistic,but you have to be ready for if and when it becomes possible,said
Lepowsky.Research into this problem is very active.Because arms control is changing,the
specific objectives of future agreements are hard to predict."But we can hope they will be
positive,and we need to be ready,technically.
1.In which aspect is Lepowsky's robot different from human inspectors?
A.Data security.
B.Memory capacity.
C.Social acceptance
D.User friendliness.
2.What is said about the robot in paragraph 3?
A.Its accurate system.
B.Its privacy risks.
C.Its design mechanism.
D.Its operational problems.
3.What does Lepowsky like about his work?
A.Scientific research data.
B.Real-time technical cooperation.
C.In-depth theoretical studies.
D.Integrated knowledge across fields.
4.Which would be the best title for this passage?
A.Princeton's "Forgetful"Robots in Global Security
B.No-Memory Robots:The Future of Nuclear Checks?
C.Nuclear Arms Control:Robots or Human Inspectors?
D.Lepowsky's "Curious"Robots for Radiation Detection

Passage16(2025河南名校联盟一模,D)
主题:太空探索答案:P419
The sun likes to remind us that Earth is merely one part of a joint system.Despite our
connection with the sun,there are still numerous scientific mysteries to uncover about this critical
star,particularly its magnetic field().Now,for the first time,scientists have taken nearly
daily measurements of the sun's coronal()magnetic field and this observation offers a
more dynamic view of this solar region.
The solar magnetic field is the primary driver of solar storms and flares.As society grows
increasingly reliant on technology,this space weather generates threats to power networks,
communication systems,and in-space technologies like GPS and satellites."Global mapping of
the coronal magnetic field has been a big missing part in the study of the sun,"said
Zihao Yang,a postdoctoral fellow from Peking University in China."This research is helping
us fill a crucial gap in our understanding of coronal magnetic fields,which are the source of the
energy for storms that can impact Earth.
Scientists have been able to routinely measure the magnetic field on the sun's surface.
Large telescopes like the Daniel K.Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST),which is the world's
largest solar telescope,can measure the three-dimensional coronal magnetic fields in depth.It
recently demonstrated its ability to make detailed observations of the coronal magnetic field.
However,DKIST can't map the sun all at once.
To try to get more overall mapping,the team turned to the Upgraded Coronal Multi-
channel Polarimeter (UCoMP).UCoMP can block out parts of the sun.It uses a device called a
coronagraph to enable scientists to measure the sun's atmosphere.UCoMP has a much smaller
aperture()compared to DKIST,but it can take a wider view,which makes it possible for
scientists to study the entire sun on most days.
"We are entering a new age of solar physics research when we can routinely measure the
coronal magnetic field,"said Yang.Using DKIST's and UCoMP's measurements together
offers a more all-sided view of the coronal magnetic field.
1.What is the significance of the new observation of the sun's coronal magnetic field?
A.It reveals the source of the sun's energy.
B.It helps us fully understand the solar system.
C.It enables us to predict solar storms accurately
D.It allows further insight into a certain solar region.
2.What does Zihao Yang think of the research?
A.It's well-received.
B.It's risk-free.
C.It's pioneering.
D.It's misleading.
3.What is the main advantage of UCoMP compared to DKIST?
A.It provides a wider view of the sun.
B.It has a larger aperture for higher-quality images
C.It can measure the sun's magnetic field in greater depth.
D.It can block out the sun's light for better measurements.
4.What is the main idea of the text?
A.The importance of solar physics research.
B.The comparison between DKIST and UCoMP.
C.The sun's magnetic field and its impact on Earth.
D.The new progress in measuring the sun's coronal magnetic field.

Passage17(2025湖南常德一模,C)
主题:个人成长答案:P420
The mental pain of failure can stimulate you to become better at the activity in which you
lack proficiency-if you can consider the unpleasant experience as an indicator of personal
growth.This is what researchers found when they conducted a field experiment at an improvi-
sation(即头表演)club.One group of amateur improvisers was instructed to actively seek the
feeling of awkwardness.The scholars found that,compared with improvisers who were not
given this instruction,the first group was more engaged in the exercise.Instead of seeing the
discomfort as something to avoid,they saw it as central to the process and leaned into it.
This has effects on how to improve ordinary life.You can put failure to good use in many
other areas of life.If you're a student,take a class far outside your area of skills and interests,
knowing that the struggle to cope with a very novel challenge may improve studying what you
do like.Enjoy the difficulty of it and analyze the mistakes you make-and you will almost
certainly find that you're doing even better at your preferred subject.
Employers can apply these principles as well.I like the "75/25 rule",according to which
employees spend three-quarters of their time on their assigned task and one quarter helping
others outside their area.The short-term cost of this is friction as people struggle with novelty
and difficulty-and bosses should take care not to make this worse by being punitive or overly
critical.But I have seen the long-term benefit of better motivation in the core assignment,as
well as a better flow of information and distribution of new skills across different activities
within an enterprise.
The embrace-failure principle can even be applied to happiness itself.None of us wants to
be unhappy.But inviting sources of unhappiness into life can be extremely beneficial.Resolve
not to be afraid of fear,anger,or sadness.They are normal and natural parts of life,after all.
And if you let them,they will help you savor()the joys of life all the more.
1.What did the experiment at the improvisation club find?
A.Avoiding awkwardness improved improvisers'creativity.
B.Actively embracing awkwardness increased engagement.
C.Professional improvisers performed better than amateurs.
D.Discomfort negatively impacted participants'motivation.
2.Why does the author advise students to take unfamiliar classes?
A.To reduce their academic pressure.
B.To increase their studying interests
C.To avoid errors in their preferred field.
D.To indirectly strengthen their major subjects.
3.What is the long-term effect of the "75/25 rule"?
A.Employees are more motivated and multi-skilled.
B.Competitions among colleagues get more intense.
C.New and difficult assignments become effortless.
D.Conflicts in workplace disappear completely.
4.Which is the best title of the text?
A.The Different Ways to Avoid Failure
B.The Advice on How to Seek Happiness
C.The Benefits of Doing Things You're Bad at
D.The Reasons Why You're in Negative Moods
