Their invention could help clean water around the world. Seventeen-year-olds Victoria Ou and Justin Huang from The Woodlands, Texas developed a pen-sized device that uses high-frequency soundwaves to trap microplastics in water. The device works by creating sound forces that push tiny plastic pieces together. Once they gather together, these plastics can be easily removed without chemicals, heat, or much energy. In lab tests, the device removed between 84% and 94% of microplastics in just one pass. The teens presented their work at the 2024 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, where they won the famous Gordon E. Moore Award and a $50,000 prize. What makes their invention special is that it is simple, small, and can be used at different scales. Unlike traditional filtering systems that use screens or chemicals, their soundwave method is gentle and saves energy. According to Huang and Ou, the device could be used in wastewater treatment plants, textile factories, rural water systems, and even washing machines or fish tanks. Although more testing and improvements are needed before it can be widely used, their invention is a big step forward in fighting microplastic pollution. It also shows how young people can use creativity and science to solve global problems. 1. How does the device remove microplastics from water? A. By heating water to break down plastics. B. By adding chemicals to break down plastics. C. By passing water through fine metal screens. D. By creating sound forces to push plastic pieces together. 2. What makes this invention special compared to traditional methods? A. It requires more energy to work. B. It is simple, small, and energy-saving. C. It works only in large treatment plants. D. It depends heavily on chemical treatments. 3. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The invention did not perform well in lab tests. B. The device is already widely used around the world. C. The invention still needs more testing before wide use. D. Only professional scientists can solve global problems. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍两名美国少年发明声波净水装置去除水中微塑料，介绍其原理、优势、成效与发展前景。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The device works by creating sound forces that push tiny plastic pieces together.(该设备通过产生声波作用力，将微小的塑料碎片聚集到一起)”可知，该设备通过产生声波作用力聚拢塑料碎片来去除水中微塑料。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“What makes their invention special is that it is simple, small, and can be used at different scales. Unlike traditional filtering systems that use screens or chemicals, their soundwave method is gentle and saves energy.(这项发明的特别之处在于它简易、小巧且适用范围广。不同于使用滤网或化学物质的传统过滤系统，这种声波方式更温和且节能)”可知，与传统方法相比，该发明简易、小巧且节能。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Although more testing and improvements are needed before it can be widely used, their invention is a big step forward in fighting microplastic pollution.(该发明在广泛投入使用前，还需要更多的测试和改进，但它是治理微塑料污染的一大进步)”可知，该发明大范围投入使用前仍需更多测试。 B Brands have spent years perfecting video marketing strategies. Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people, according to research from video creation platform Animoto. That preference holds as AI video tools flood the market and brands race to create more content faster. The finding comes from Animoto’s State of Video 2026 report, based on a survey of 460 American consumers and marketers. As AI generates full videos from text prompts (提示), the truth remains: People still want to see other people. The preference for human faces isn’t just about aesthetics (美学). More than 82% of consumers report watching videos that they believe were AI-generated, and among that group, 36% say it lowers their trust in the brand behind it. This creates a problem with the numbers for marketers. Even if AI tools can help produce videos faster, the resulting content may raise doubt that destroys the entire purpose of making the video in the first place. Separate research cited in the report found that 88% of consumers consider brand trust as important as price and quality when making purchases. Three-quarters of US adults think it’s extremely or very important to know whether images, videos, or text were created by AI or people. This trust loss appears regardless of whether audiences correctly identify AI content. The survey showed that consumers believe they can spot AI-generated videos based on “an entire set of signals” and contextual mismatches, according to respondent Olga Mirkovic. Whether they’re right doesn’t matter. Perception alone affects how they view the brand. Surveyed marketing professionals aren’t trying to remove humans from their videos. Despite pressure to produce more content faster, marketers still want control over which footage to use, how to present their brand voice, and when to put themselves on camera. Roya Safarian, a survey respondent, explained the balance: “AI can enhance storytelling as long as the brand still keeps a human touch. The key is balance: Technology should support the message, not replace the genuine voice behind it.” 4. What is the most effective trust-building video marketing strategy? A. Making videos featuring real people. B. Using AI to generate videos quickly. C. Updating video production fashion. D. Producing true video content faster. 5. In what circumstances does the trust loss occur? A. When video aesthetics are poor. B. When video production speeds up. C. When AI content is perceived. D. When brand trust is compared to price. 6. What do marketing professionals suggest AI be used for in video-making? A. Generating videos automatically. B. Aiding in content creation as a tool. C. Controlling brand voice directly. D. Replacing human presenters entirely. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Contrasting AI and Human-made Videos B. Building Consumer Trust with AI Videos C. Facing Trust Crisis in AI-generated Videos D. Balancing Technology and Humanity in Videos 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文探讨了视频营销策略。研究发现，消费者更信任包含真人的视频，AI生成的内容可能会降低品牌信任度。因此，营销专家主张平衡技术与人性，让AI辅助而非取代真人，从而保持品牌真实感并建立信任。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people (近78%的消费者相信真人拍摄的视频)”以及“As AI generates full videos from text prompts (提示), the truth remains: People still want to see other people. (虽然人工智能可以根据文本提示生成完整的视频，但事实仍然是：人们仍然希望看到其他人。)”可知，消费者依然信任并希望看到视频中有真人出现。由此可知，建立信任最有效的视频营销策略是制作以真实人物为特色的视频。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This trust loss appears regardless of whether audiences correctly identify AI content. (无论观众是否正确识别人工智能内容，这种信任损失都会出现。)”以及“Perception alone affects how they view the brand. (感知本身就会影响他们对品牌的看法。)”可知，无论观众是否正确识别出AI内容，只要感知到内容是AI生成的，信任缺失就会发生。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Roya Safarian, a survey respondent, explained the balance: “AI can enhance storytelling as long as the brand still keeps a human touch. The key is balance: Technology should support the message, not replace the genuine voice behind it.” (调查受访者罗亚·萨法里安（Roya Safarian）解释了这种平衡：“只要品牌仍然保持人情味，人工智能就可以增强故事情节。关键在于平衡：技术应该支持信息，而不是取代信息背后真实的声音。”)”可知，营销专业人士认为AI应该作为辅助工具来增强叙事效果或支持信息传达，而不是替代人类或直接控制品牌声音。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开头“Brands have spent years perfecting video marketing strategies. Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people, according to research from video creation platform Animoto. That preference holds as AI video tools flood the market and brands race to create more content faster.(品牌花了数年时间完善视频营销策略。根据视频创作平台Animoto的研究，近78%的消费者信任真人制作的视频。随着人工智能视频工具充斥市场，各品牌竞相以更快的速度创造更多内容，这种偏好依然存在。)”指出尽管AI视频工具普及，但人们仍偏爱真人视频以建立信任；第二、三段论述了AI内容可能会导致信任缺失；最后一段指出营销专业人士希望在利用AI技术提高效率的同时，保留人文关怀，强调技术应支持而非替代人类。因此，文章主要讨论了在视频制作中如何在技术（AI）和人性（真人）之间取得平衡。D项“Balancing Technology and Humanity in Videos (在视频创作中平衡科技与人性)”能够概括文章主旨，最适合作为文章标题。故选D。 C A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. “Things in the damp cave get wet quickly,” says park guide Ashley. The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers found the bag within hours. “But that can be all it takes,” says Ashley. “I’m sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.” Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. “When you look at the numbers, it’s incredible,” says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature. Food waste takes a long time to break down, especially in certain areas. “It takes much longer for an apple core to rot in a desert than in a forest,” says Blye, a teacher at the University of Utah. Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste, garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” says Watts. “Everyone loses in this case.” Biological waste is also problematic. Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer. Meanwhile, human waste and toilet paper introduce dangerous bacteria into water sources. In national parks, trails (小径) are designed to avoid sensitive areas. Stepping off the trail, even for a quick photo, can scare wildlife away. Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife. But people don’t think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity. “It’s just such a hard thing to resist,” says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to their original state. 8. What does the underlined part “But that can be all it takes” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. The damage has been done. B. The rangers’ work is efficient. C. The cleanup takes a long time. D. The pollution has spread widely. 9. What is a result of foreign waste in public lands? A. A shortage of food supplies. B. A shift in animal behavior. C. A decrease in bacterial species. D. An increase in conflicts between animals. 10. Why does the writer mention wildflowers in paragraph 5? A. To praise their benefits to desert life. B. To highlight our ignorance of wildlife. C. To stress their significance for photography. D. To show our unawareness of nature’s sensitivity. 11. What is conveyed in this passage? A. We should encourage wildlife protection. B. We should promote national park tourism. C. We should leave no trace in the wild. D. We should restore ecological damage. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了人类在野外的微小行为会对脆弱生态系统造成不可逆的长期破坏，呼吁减少人类活动对自然的不良影响，保护野外生态。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。​根据第一段中“The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers found the bag within hours. “But that can be all it takes,” says Ashley. “I’m sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.”(这种零食会吸引微小的生物，从而导致有害的生长现象。很快，像蟋蟀和蜘蛛这样的小动物也前来食用，从而进一步扩散了这种污染。护林员在几小时内找到了袋子。“但这可能就足够了，”阿什利说。“我确信有些蟋蟀吃到了一点零食。”)”可知，仅仅几个小时的暴露就足以让洞穴里的生物接触到并开始造成破坏，因此这句话的意思是破坏已经造成了。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results.(留下垃圾会让动物接触到非自然的饮食，并改变它们的行为，有时会带来灾难性的后果)”可知，外来废物会导致动物行为的改变。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。​根据第五段中“The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to their original state.(对敏感生态系统的威胁并不明显。“人们很容易想，哦，那边有野花，我不该踩上去，”布莱说，但这些充满对沙漠生命至关重要的微生物的微小生态系统提供了许多好处，包括减少侵蚀风险和帮助吸收降雨，并且可能需要数百年才能恢复到原始状态)”可知，作者提到野花是为了证明人们往往意识不到自然生态系统的敏感性，即使是很小的干扰也会造成破坏。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。​根据第二段中““When you look at the numbers, it’s incredible,” says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature.(“当你看到这些数据时，你会觉得简直难以置信。”科罗拉多州“不留痕迹中心”的负责人瓦茨说道。该中心是一个致力于减少人类对自然环境影响的组织)可知，文章旨在传达我们在野外活动时应当不留痕迹，保护自然。 第二节（每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Get Over an Embarrassing Moment Embarrassing moments are a universal human experience. While uncomfortable, they offer a chance to develop resilience (韧性). By applying a clear framework, you can handle these situations properly and even gain personal insight. ____12____ The most immediate and effective response is to lighten the mood with humor. For example, if you trip, you might laugh and say, “Well, I’ve always wanted to get closer to the ground!” This approach serves two purposes: it relieves your own anxiety and signals to others that it’s safe to share the laugh, potentially transforming an awkward moment into a point of connection. Regain physical calm Once the social moment has been addressed, turn your attention inward to manage the body’s physiological reaction. ____13____. A practical technique is “box breathing”: inhale (吸气) for four seconds, hold for four, exhale for four. This practice directly fights symptoms like a racing heart and flushing (脸红), helping you restore a sense of internal balance. Adjust your mental focus A primary source of prolonged distress is the mistaken belief that you are the main subject of others’ attention. In reality, this is almost never the case. ____14____. Most people are far more occupied with their own internal narratives. By consciously shifting your focus from perceived judgment to this factual understanding, you allow the incident’s emotional weight to dissolve (消失) rapidly. Reflect and grow forward To fully move forward, shift from merely “getting over” the moment to actively learning from it. ____15____. For instance, intense shame triggered by a minor slip might reveal a habit of holding yourself to impossibly high standards. Recognizing this pattern is itself a breakthrough. The final step is to channel this awareness into practical change. Did you struggle to find words in a meeting? Prepare key phrases in advance next time. ____16____ A. Ease the situation with humor B. Make a joke and move on quickly C. This involves calming your body’s immediate stress response D. The core task is to realize you are not the lead in others’ stories E. In this way, these experiences build your long-term emotional resilience F. People typically recall their own embarrassments more clearly than yours G. The first step is to examine if your feelings arise from unfair self-judgment 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. G 16. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何正确应对尴尬时刻，帮助人们走出尴尬并获得个人成长，培养心理韧性。 【12题详解】 下文“The most immediate and effective response is to lighten the mood with humor. For example, if you trip, you might laugh and say, “Well, I’ve always wanted to get closer to the ground!” This approach serves two purposes: it relieves your own anxiety and signals to others that it’s safe to share the laugh, potentially transforming an awkward moment into a point of connection.(最直接有效的回应是用幽默缓和气氛。例如，如果你绊倒了，你可能会笑着说：“好吧，我一直想离地面更近一些！”这种方法有两个目的：它能缓解你自己的焦虑，并向他人发出信号，表明一起笑是安全的，有可能将一个尴尬的时刻转变为一个联结的契机。)”说明了应对尴尬时刻的第一种方法是用幽默缓解气氛，并举例说明其作用。选项A“用幽默缓解局面”概括了下文的核心内容，作为本段主旨句，能总领全段。故选A。 【13题详解】 上文“Once the social moment has been addressed, turn your attention inward to manage the body’s physiological reaction.(一旦社交场景中的尴尬得到处理，就把注意力转向内部，去管理身体的生理反应。)”指出要关注并管理尴尬时身体产生的生理反应，下文“A practical technique is “box breathing”: inhale (吸气) for four seconds, hold for four, exhale for four. This practice directly fights symptoms like a racing heart and flushing (脸红), helping you restore a sense of internal balance.(一个实用的技巧是“方形呼吸”：吸气4秒，屏住4秒，呼气4秒。这种做法能直接对抗心跳加速、脸红等症状，帮助你恢复内心的平衡感。)”介绍了具体的缓解生理反应的技巧。选项C“这包括平复身体即时的压力反应”承接上文“管理身体生理反应”的话题，同时引出下文的具体技巧。故选C。 【14题详解】 上文“A primary source of prolonged distress is the mistaken belief that you are the main subject of others’ attention. In reality, this is almost never the case.(长期痛苦的一个主要来源是错误地认为自己是他人关注的焦点。事实上，情况几乎从来不是这样的。）”指出人们在尴尬后会误以为自己被他人过度关注，而这其实是错误的，下文“Most people are far more occupied with their own internal narratives.(大多数人更专注于自己内心的想法。）”进一步解释了为什么人们不会过度关注他人的尴尬。选项D“核心任务是意识到你不是别人故事里的主角”承接上文的错误认知，点明了调整心理焦点的关键，同时呼应下文“人们更关注自己”的内容。故选D。 【15题详解】 上文“To fully move forward, shift from merely “getting over” the moment to actively learning from it.(要完全向前看，就要从仅仅“克服”那个时刻转变为主动从中学习。)”指出要从尴尬时刻中学习成长，下文“For instance, intense shame triggered by a minor slip might reveal a habit of holding yourself to impossibly high standards. Recognizing this pattern is itself a breakthrough.(例如，一次小失误引发的强烈羞耻感，可能会暴露你习惯对自己提出过高的要求。意识到这种模式本身就是一种突破。)”举例说明如何从尴尬中发现自身问题。选项G“第一步是检查你的感受是否源于不公平的自我评判”承接上文“从中学习”的话题，指出了反思的第一步，同时引出下文的具体例子。故选G。 【16题详解】 上文“The final step is to channel this awareness into practical change. Did you struggle to find words in a meeting? Prepare key phrases in advance next time.(最后一步是将这种认知转化为实际的改变。你是否曾在会议上难以组织语言？下次提前准备好关键短语。)”指出要将从尴尬中获得的认知转化为实际行动，举例说明了具体的改变方式。选项E“通过这种方式，这些经历会培养你长期的情绪韧性”，承接上文的实际行动，总结了从尴尬时刻中学习成长的最终好处，呼应了文章开头“尴尬时刻能培养韧性”的观点。故选E。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） When our daughter asked us to take her on an adventure, I immediately thought of a piece of advice from a friend.

Dance was my favorite class, and I looked forward to going every day. And this year, my senior year, was going to be the best dance class yet. Moreover, there was a showcase performed at our high-school theater at the end of the semester. As I headed to the studio, my friend Jessica ran up to me, her face serious. “Sarah, have you heard?” she whispered. “We have a new teacher, Ms. Barton. And she’s… strictly ballet.” My excitement disappeared. Ballet? I’d never taken a class in my life. A strong feeling of anxiety formed in my stomach, but a part of me accepted the challenge. The studio I entered was transformed. Gone was the lively energy; in its place was a nervous silence. Every other girl wore tight black clothes and ballet shoes. Looking down at my baggy T-shirt and sports trousers, I felt like a complete outsider. I quickly changed, but still felt awkward and out of place. Ms. Barton stood as straight as an arrow, her serious expression making the room feel cold. At the barre, she began calling out French terms — plié, tendu. I tried to copy the others, my movements feeling awkward and wrong. “Grand plié,” she ordered. I bent my knees, doing my best to copy the elegant position of the others. I thought I was doing okay, until the music suddenly stopped. Ms. Barton’s sharp eyes were fixed on me. “What is your name?” she asked, her voice cutting through the silence. “Sarah,” I replied, trying to manage a smile. “Class, I want everyone to watch Miss Sarah,” she announced. My heart jumped. Was she going to praise me? I took a deep breath and performed the grand plié again. Complete silence. Every eye was on me. “Now, class,” Ms. Barton’s voice rose, sharp and loud. “This is a perfect example of what NOT to do.” My face burned as if I’d been slammed (猛烈撞击). 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 spent the rest of the day wondering if I should quit. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally, there came the showcase at our high-school theater. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Paragraph 1 I spent the rest of the day wondering if I should quit. However, my love for dance wouldn’t allow it. I would show that teacher. The empty studio became my second home. I practised day by day, week by week, and I was proud to say that I was still standing by the end of the semester. Ms. Barton seemed to tolerate my ballet and began to appreciate my hip-hop style. Soon came her surprising request: to design two hip-hop dances for the final performance. Paragraph 2 Finally, there came the showcase at our high-school theater. My hands were shaking with nerves, but when the music began, my fear simply disappeared. I had the best time dancing to it and gave it my all, leaving our audience cheering and clapping. Afterwards, Ms. Barton announced the “Most Improved Dancer” award. I couldn’t believe my ears when she called my name! As my friends cheered, I walked up to receive the award. With tears in my eyes, I smiled at Ms. Barton and said, “Thank you for challenging me.” I realized that this ballet journey had taught me the courage to embrace challenges. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了高中女生Sarah热爱街舞，新学期却迎来严厉的芭蕾老师。首次课上因动作不规范被当众批评，陷入是否放弃的挣扎。最终在期末汇演中，她将街舞与芭蕾融合，获得意外成功的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天剩下的时间里，我一直在思考是否应该放弃。”和第二段首句“最后，在我们高中的礼堂举行了展示活动。”可知，第一段可描写作者决定不放弃舞蹈，刻苦练习，Barton老师对作者舞姿的态度的变化。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，在我们高中的礼堂举行了展示活动。”可知，第二段可描写作者将街舞和芭蕾舞融合，最终获得成功。 2.续写线索：不放弃——刻苦训练——老师态度转变——表演——成功——获奖——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①证明：show/prove/demonstrate ②消失：disappear/fade away ③微笑：smile/beam 情绪类 ①令人惊讶的：surprising/astonishing ②眼睛里饱含眼泪：tears in my eyes/tears welling up 【点睛】[高分句型1]I practised day by day, week by week, and I was proud to say that I was still standing by the end of the semester.(运用了连接词that引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2]My hands were shaking with nerves, but when the music began, my fear simply disappeared.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型3]With tears in my eyes, I smiled at Ms. Barton and said, “Thank you for challenging me.”(运用了with构成的复合结构) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年高二年级第二学期期中考试 英语试卷 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分，共150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．答卷前考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号涂写在答题卡上。 3．第Ⅰ卷各题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动用橡皮擦干净后再涂其他答案，答案写在试卷上无效。第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）在答题卡的相应位置上作答。 第Ⅰ卷（共85分） 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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Their invention could help clean water around the world. Seventeen-year-olds Victoria Ou and Justin Huang from The Woodlands, Texas developed a pen-sized device that uses high-frequency soundwaves to trap microplastics in water. The device works by creating sound forces that push tiny plastic pieces together. Once they gather together, these plastics can be easily removed without chemicals, heat, or much energy. In lab tests, the device removed between 84% and 94% of microplastics in just one pass. The teens presented their work at the 2024 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, where they won the famous Gordon E. Moore Award and a $50,000 prize. What makes their invention special is that it is simple, small, and can be used at different scales. Unlike traditional filtering systems that use screens or chemicals, their soundwave method is gentle and saves energy. According to Huang and Ou, the device could be used in wastewater treatment plants, textile factories, rural water systems, and even washing machines or fish tanks. Although more testing and improvements are needed before it can be widely used, their invention is a big step forward in fighting microplastic pollution. It also shows how young people can use creativity and science to solve global problems. 1. How does the device remove microplastics from water? A. By heating water to break down plastics. B. By adding chemicals to break down plastics. C. By passing water through fine metal screens. D. By creating sound forces to push plastic pieces together. 2. What makes this invention special compared to traditional methods? A. It requires more energy to work. B. It is simple, small, and energy-saving. C. It works only in large treatment plants. D. It depends heavily on chemical treatments. 3. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The invention did not perform well in lab tests. B. The device is already widely used around the world. C. The invention still needs more testing before wide use. D. Only professional scientists can solve global problems. B Brands have spent years perfecting video marketing strategies. Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people, according to research from video creation platform Animoto. That preference holds as AI video tools flood the market and brands race to create more content faster. The finding comes from Animoto’s State of Video 2026 report, based on a survey of 460 American consumers and marketers. As AI generates full videos from text prompts (提示), the truth remains: People still want to see other people. The preference for human faces isn’t just about aesthetics (美学). More than 82% of consumers report watching videos that they believe were AI-generated, and among that group, 36% say it lowers their trust in the brand behind it. This creates a problem with the numbers for marketers. Even if AI tools can help produce videos faster, the resulting content may raise doubt that destroys the entire purpose of making the video in the first place. Separate research cited in the report found that 88% of consumers consider brand trust as important as price and quality when making purchases. Three-quarters of US adults think it’s extremely or very important to know whether images, videos, or text were created by AI or people. This trust loss appears regardless of whether audiences correctly identify AI content. The survey showed that consumers believe they can spot AI-generated videos based on “an entire set of signals” and contextual mismatches, according to respondent Olga Mirkovic. Whether they’re right doesn’t matter. Perception alone affects how they view the brand. Surveyed marketing professionals aren’t trying to remove humans from their videos. Despite pressure to produce more content faster, marketers still want control over which footage to use, how to present their brand voice, and when to put themselves on camera. Roya Safarian, a survey respondent, explained the balance: “AI can enhance storytelling as long as the brand still keeps a human touch. The key is balance: Technology should support the message, not replace the genuine voice behind it.” 4. What is the most effective trust-building video marketing strategy? A.

This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. “Things in the damp cave get wet quickly,” says park guide Ashley. The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers found the bag within hours. “But that can be all it takes,” says Ashley. “I’m sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.” Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. “When you look at the numbers, it’s incredible,” says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature. Food waste takes a long time to break down, especially in certain areas. “It takes much longer for an apple core to rot in a desert than in a forest,” says Blye, a teacher at the University of Utah. Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste, garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” says Watts. “Everyone loses in this case.” Biological waste is also problematic. Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer. Meanwhile, human waste and toilet paper introduce dangerous bacteria into water sources. In national parks, trails (小径) are designed to avoid sensitive areas. Stepping off the trail, even for a quick photo, can scare wildlife away. Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife. But people don’t think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity. “It’s just such a hard thing to resist,” says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to their original state. 8. What does the underlined part “But that can be all it takes” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. The damage has been done. B. The rangers’ work is efficient. C. The cleanup takes a long time. D. The pollution has spread widely. 9. What is a result of foreign waste in public lands? A. A shortage of food supplies. B. A shift in animal behavior. C. A decrease in bacterial species. D. An increase in conflicts between animals. 10. Why does the writer mention wildflowers in paragraph 5? A. To praise their benefits to desert life. B. To highlight our ignorance of wildlife. C. To stress their significance for photography. D. To show our unawareness of nature’s sensitivity. 11. What is conveyed in this passage? A. We should encourage wildlife protection. B. We should promote national park tourism. C. We should leave no trace in the wild. D. We should restore ecological damage. 第二节（每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Get Over an Embarrassing Moment Embarrassing moments are a universal human experience. While uncomfortable, they offer a chance to develop resilience (韧性). By applying a clear framework, you can handle these situations properly and even gain personal insight. ____12____ The most immediate and effective response is to lighten the mood with humor. For example, if you trip, you might laugh and say, “Well, I’ve always wanted to get closer to the ground!” This approach serves two purposes: it relieves your own anxiety and signals to others that it’s safe to share the laugh, potentially transforming an awkward moment into a point of connection. Regain physical calm Once the social moment has been addressed, turn your attention inward to manage the body’s physiological reaction. ____13____. A practical technique is “box breathing”: inhale (吸气) for four seconds, hold for four, exhale for four. This practice directly fights symptoms like a racing heart and flushing (脸红), helping you restore a sense of internal balance. Adjust your mental focus A primary source of prolonged distress is the mistaken belief that you are the main subject of others’ attention. In reality, this is almost never the case. ____14____. Most people are far more occupied with their own internal narratives. By consciously shifting your focus from perceived judgment to this factual understanding, you allow the incident’s emotional weight to dissolve (消失) rapidly. Reflect and grow forward To fully move forward, shift from merely “getting over” the moment to actively learning from it. ____15____. For instance, intense shame triggered by a minor slip might reveal a habit of holding yourself to impossibly high standards. Recognizing this pattern is itself a breakthrough. The final step is to channel this awareness into practical change. Did you struggle to find words in a meeting? Prepare key phrases in advance next time. ____16____ A. Ease the situation with humor B. Make a joke and move on quickly C. This involves calming your body’s immediate stress response D. The core task is to realize you are not the lead in others’ stories E. In this way, these experiences build your long-term emotional resilience F. People typically recall their own embarrassments more clearly than yours G. The first step is to examine if your feelings arise from unfair self-judgment 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） When our daughter asked us to take her on an adventure, I immediately thought of a piece of advice from a friend.

Dance was my favorite class, and I looked forward to going every day. And this year, my senior year, was going to be the best dance class yet. Moreover, there was a showcase performed at our high-school theater at the end of the semester. As I headed to the studio, my friend Jessica ran up to me, her face serious. “Sarah, have you heard?” she whispered. “We have a new teacher, Ms. Barton. And she’s… strictly ballet.” My excitement disappeared. Ballet? I’d never taken a class in my life. A strong feeling of anxiety formed in my stomach, but a part of me accepted the challenge. The studio I entered was transformed. Gone was the lively energy; in its place was a nervous silence. Every other girl wore tight black clothes and ballet shoes. Looking down at my baggy T-shirt and sports trousers, I felt like a complete outsider. I quickly changed, but still felt awkward and out of place. Ms. Barton stood as straight as an arrow, her serious expression making the room feel cold. At the barre, she began calling out French terms — plié, tendu. I tried to copy the others, my movements feeling awkward and wrong. “Grand plié,” she ordered. I bent my knees, doing my best to copy the elegant position of the others. I thought I was doing okay, until the music suddenly stopped. Ms. Barton’s sharp eyes were fixed on me. “What is your name?” she asked, her voice cutting through the silence. “Sarah,” I replied, trying to manage a smile. “Class, I want everyone to watch Miss Sarah,” she announced. My heart jumped. Was she going to praise me? I took a deep breath and performed the grand plié again. Complete silence. Every eye was on me. “Now, class,” Ms. Barton’s voice rose, sharp and loud. “This is a perfect example of what NOT to do.” My face burned as if I’d been slammed (猛烈撞击). 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 spent the rest of the day wondering if I should quit. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally, there came the showcase at our high-school theater. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
