My hometown had only one small bookstore and no art galleries, so the endless concerts, museums and restaurants in Chicago seemed like a dream come true. As a college freshman, I was excited to breathe in the city’s energy — yet I often found myself longing for the sound of waves crashing and the smell of salt in the air. Years went by, and I built a fulfilling life in Chicago: I graduated, got a job I loved, and made lifelong friends. Still, a soft nostalgia (乡愁) for Maine never truly faded, and I soon realized that “home” isn’t defined by the number of attractions a place has, but by the sense of comfort and belonging it brings. It’s the way the light falls on the ocean at sunset, the taste of my mom’s seafood chowder, and the familiarity of running into neighbors on the street. “Homesickness often surfaces when we’re missing the emotional comfort of a familiar environment, not just the place itself,” says Dr. Lisa Carter, a psychologist. “We don’t just miss a location — we miss the routines (日常习惯), the relationships, and the sense of safety that location provided. For some, this comfort can be recreated in a new place; for others, it remains a unique part of their past.” Although the nostalgia for Maine has never truly faded, even after years of happy life in Chicago, there are simple ways to ease this kind of longing. Creating small, familiar routines in your new life — like baking your hometown’s favorite cookies every Sunday or taking a walk in a nearby park at the same time each evening — can help build a new sense of belonging. These little acts don’t erase the memories of home; instead, they weave those memories into the fabric of your present life. I’m lucky to have a good life in Chicago, with a caring husband, lovely children and supportive friends, but however much I love my life in Chicago, there’s a part of me that will forever belong to Maine. 4. Why did the author move to Chicago? A. To enjoy the various attractions. B. To take up a new job in the city center. C. To receive her college education there. D. To escape the boredom of her hometown. 5. What does Dr. Lisa Carter think nostalgia mainly comes from? A. The absence of familiar emotional comfort. B. The difficulty in building new daily routines. C. The disappointment with the new environment. D. The loss of important relationships from the past. 6. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The benefits of adapting to a new lifestyle. B. The methods of relieving nostalgic feelings. C. The importance of holding on to past memories. D. The continuity of the author’s nostalgia for Maine. 7. What message does the author try to deliver in the passage? A. Home is where the heart is. B. Home keeps the wolf from the door. C. Pleasure blinds one to home. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述作者迁居芝加哥生活，抒发乡愁并介绍缓解乡愁的方法与对家的感悟。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“As a college freshman, I was excited to breathe in the city’s energy.(作为一名大学新生，我满心欢喜地感受这座城市的活力)”可知，作者搬去芝加哥是为了在此接受大学教育。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中““Homesickness often surfaces when we’re missing the emotional comfort of a familiar environment, not just the place itself,” says Dr. Lisa Carter, a psychologist.(心理学家Lisa Carter博士说：“乡愁往往源于我们失去了熟悉环境带来的情感慰藉，而非仅仅是思念某个地方本身。”)”可知，Lisa Carter认为乡愁主要源于熟悉情感慰藉的缺失。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Although the nostalgia for Maine has never truly faded, even after years of happy life in Chicago, there are simple ways to ease this kind of longing. Creating small, familiar routines in your new life — like baking your hometown’s favorite cookies every Sunday or taking a walk in a nearby park at the same time each evening — can help build a new sense of belonging. These little acts don’t erase the memories of home; instead, they weave those memories into the fabric of your present life.(即便我在芝加哥度过了多年幸福的生活，对缅因州的乡愁也从未真正消散。其实有一些简单的方法可以缓解这份思念。在新生活中建立熟悉的小日常 —— 比如每周日烤制家乡特色点心、每晚固定时间在附近公园散步 —— 能够帮助我们建立新的归属感。这些微小的举动不会抹去故乡的记忆，反而会将这些记忆融入当下的生活之中。)”可知，本段主要介绍缓解乡愁的方法。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者在芝加哥拥有美满生活，却始终心系故乡，阐释了家是心灵归属的真谛。作者想传达“Home is where the heart is(心之所在，便是吾乡)”。 C Stanford assistant professor Ruike Zhao published a significant medical breakthrough in Nature: using a tiny 2 mm micro-robot, she increased the success rate of blood clot (血块) removal from a mere 11% to an amazing 90%, sending shockwaves through the medical world. In modern society, about one in every dozen people may experience a blood clot in their lifetime. It is widely known that blood clots are the leading cause of heart attacks. During treatment, quickly and effectively unblocking blood vessels (血管) becomes a matter of life and death. Unfortunately, traditional mechanical methods have a low success rate. The process is like trying to pick up broken tofu with chopsticks — not only is success unlikely, but the situation may even worsen. Blood clots may break apart while being deformed, resulting in small pieces stuck in hard-to-reach areas. However, Professor Zhao’s 2 mm micro-robot enters blood vessels and, using high-speed rotation (旋转), produces forces to reduce the clot size to 5%. It’s like when you press and rotate soft things, like hair, between your hands. The force makes them stick together into a small ball. The micro-robot works similarly, using pressure to bring the clot pieces together, making them easier to remove. This process requires no drugs, causes no vessel damage, and effectively reopens blocked blood vessels. What’s surprising is that the micro-robot is inspired by subway TBMs, tunnel-boring machines (盾构机). The way tunnel-boring machines efficiently handle hard soil and rock in narrow spaces inspired the creation. This brilliant Chinese researcher shrank the underground machine to a size tens of thousands of times smaller, and adapted it for use in human blood vessels. The technology has been successfully tested on pigs. While it remains in the laboratory stage, the breakthrough itself is exciting. This technology may soon go beyond blood clots to treat stones in the body as well. 8. What is the major advantage of Zhao’s micro-robot over traditional methods? A. It identifies blood clots quickly. B. It is eco-friendly and economical. C. It breaks blood clots down into pieces. D. It increases success rate and reduces side effects. 9. Why does the author mention the action of rotating hair between hands? A. To show ways to handle soft things in daily life. B. To explain how the robot works physically. C. To describe a basic physical phenomenon. D. To stress the soft nature of blood clots. 10. What does the underlined word “shrank” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Downsized. B. Examined. C. Upgraded. D. Strengthened. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Creative Inventor in the Medical Field B. A Tiny Robot for Blood Clot Treatment C. The Application of TBMs in Engineering D. The Development of Medical Robots in China 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了赵芮可助理教授发明的微型机器人清除血块的医学突破。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“using a tiny 2 mm micro-robot, she increased the success rate of blood clot (血块) removal from a mere 11% to an amazing 90%(她利用一款仅两毫米的微型机器人，将血栓清除成功率从区区11%提升至惊人的90%)”以及第四段中“This process requires no drugs, causes no vessel damage, and effectively reopens blocked blood vessels.(这一过程无需用药，不会造成血管损伤，还能有效打通堵塞的血管。)”可知，该微型机器人相比传统方法提高了成功率且减少了副作用。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“It’s like when you press and rotate soft things, like hair, between your hands. The force makes them stick together into a small ball. The micro-robot works similarly, using pressure to bring the clot pieces together, making them easier to remove.(这就好比你在双手之间按压并揉搓头发之类的柔软物体，外力会让它们黏结成一个小团。微型机器人的运作原理与此类似——它通过施加压力将血块碎片聚拢在一起，从而更容易将其移除。)”可知，作者提及搓头发的动作是为了通过类比来解释机器人工作的物理原理。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“This brilliant Chinese researcher shrank the underground machine to a size tens of thousands of times smaller, and adapted it for use in human blood vessels.(这位杰出的中国研究员将地下机器shrank到原来的几万分之一大小，并将其改造用于人体血管中。)”可知，这位杰出的中国研究员将地下机器缩小到原来的几万分之一大小。shrank意为“缩小”，与downsized意思相同。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，文章围绕赵芮可助理教授发明的2毫米微型机器人展开，重点介绍其清除血块的高成功率及工作原理。B选项“A Tiny Robot for Blood Clot Treatment(用于治疗血栓的微型机器人)”最能概括全文主旨。 D Imagine it’s a Thanksgiving dinner. The table is loud, your aunt is describing her cat’s new diet, your cousin is arguing about football matches, and someone is clattering dishes in the kitchen. And yet, in the middle of all that chaos (混乱), you somehow manage to follow one conversation. Not only that, but if someone across the room says your name, even quietly, you immediately turn your head like your brain has just got a signal (信号). How does that happen? That’s something called the Cocktail Party Effect in action. The term comes from psychologist Colin Cherry, who was trying to understand how we process sounds in noisy environments like, say, a cocktail party. Cherry’s experiment was simple but creative. He played two different recordings of people talking (one in each ear) and asked volunteers to repeat back the message from just one side. This task showed something unusual: people could focus on one message almost perfectly, but they remembered almost nothing from the other. Note “almost nothing,” by the way. The exception here was personally meaningful information. If their own name was spoken in the “ignored” (忽视) ear, they noticed it! The Cocktail Party Effect often gets misunderstood as showing that humans can perform several tasks at one time and listen to several conversations at the same time. Actually, no, we can’t. When you think you’re listening to two people at once, you’re actually jumping back and forth between them, missing bits of each. Your brain, amazing as it is, is designed for focus, not for chaos. The Cocktail Party Effect might sound like a fun party trick, but it actually has real-world effects that reach far beyond the dinner table. In technology, it’s the cornerstone of how voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant can pick out your command from a noisy room. And in relationships? It’s a gentle reminder that “hearing” and “listening” are certainly not the same thing. Just because your ears are open doesn’t mean your attention is. So let’s come back to that Thanksgiving table. The Cocktail Party Effect is what lets you survive it by cutting through all the chaos so you can focus on one voice at a time. 12. Which of the following is likely the most noticeable to you in dinner chaos? A. The background sound. B. Your aunt’s cat talk. C. The mention of your name. D. A comment on matches. 13. What ability of the brain is reflected in Cherry’s experiment? A. Emotional control. B. Quick reaction. C. Targeted attention. D. Immediate memory. 14. What is a common misunderstanding of the Cocktail Party Effect? A. It unfolds humans’ listening skills. B. It proves humans’ multitasking ability. C. It presents the brain’s focusing power. D. It confirms the brain’s processing limitations. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the application of the Cocktail Party Effect? A. Worried. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Positive. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了鸡尾酒会效应的原理、常见误解及其在生活和科技中的应用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Not only that, but if someone across the room says your name, even quietly, you immediately turn your head like your brain has just got a signal (信号).(不仅如此，倘若屋子另一头有人轻声喊你的名字，你也会立刻转头，仿佛大脑刚收到一条信号)”可知，嘈杂聚餐环境中，提及自己的名字最容易被注意到。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This task showed something unusual: people could focus on one message almost perfectly, but they remembered almost nothing from the other.(这项实验出现了反常现象：人们几乎能完整专注接收其中一条信息，却几乎记不住另一条里的任何内容)”可知，实验体现了大脑的靶向专注能力。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The Cocktail Party Effect often gets misunderstood as showing that humans can perform several tasks at one time and listen to several conversations at the same time.(鸡尾酒会效应常被误解为人类可以同时处理多项任务、聆听多段对话)”可知，大众误区是认为该效应证明人类具备多任务处理能力。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The Cocktail Party Effect might sound like a fun party trick, but it actually has real-world effects that reach far beyond the dinner table.(鸡尾酒会效应听起来或许像个有趣的聚会小把戏，但它的现实意义远不止于餐桌之上)”可知，作者对该效应的应用持积极肯定的态度。 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。 I put on a headset, and within seconds I am somewhere else. Polar bears are wandering across the Arctic ice fields. Moments later, I find myself inside a museum, standing close to a painting I have never seen in real life. ____16____ This is the promise of virtual reality (VR): a world delivered to us without leaving home. There is much to appreciate in this form of travel. ____17____ There is no need to consider weather conditions, health issues or economic pressure. You may enter distant places at any moment and leave just as freely. For old people, those who have trouble moving, or people without much money, it opens a door to the world that real trips can hardly give. ____18____ Travelers wander through unfamiliar streets, taste local dishes, and interact face-to-face with people shaped by different traditions. Such interactions wake up the senses and create lasting memories. More importantly, they change how places feel to us, not just how we understand them. This difference is clear, because learning about a destination is not the same as being there. Virtual travel offers designed scenes and programmed sensations, but it remains carefully controlled. Real travel, by contrast, is shaped by the unexpected. ____19____ In those unplanned moments, understanding becomes lived rather than recorded. Virtual reality will undoubtedly continue to grow, enriching how we preview journeys and imagine distant worlds. Still, it cannot replace actual presence. Travel is not simply about seeing farther; it is also about feeling where you stand. ____20____ A. Yet real travel leaves a deeper mark. B. I am not moving, yet I am traveling. C. My feet were killing me after a long journey. D. It is convenient, time-saving, and widely accessible. E. Quite often, we find ourselves tired out during real travel. F. Some knowledge only arrives when your feet are on the ground. G. It demands choices, adaptation, and continuous awareness of the unexpected. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. A 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍虚拟现实旅行的优势，同时对比实地旅行独有的体验与价值，阐明虚拟现实无法取代真实出行。 【16题详解】 根据前文“I put on a headset, and within seconds I am somewhere else. Polar bears are wandering across the Arctic ice fields. Moments later, I find myself inside a museum, standing close to a painting I have never seen in real life.(戴上头戴设备，转瞬之间我便置身别样天地。北极熊漫步在北极冰原上，片刻后，我又身处博物馆内，近距离观赏着一幅从未亲眼见过的画作)” 可知作者身处原地却仿佛四处游历；空后“This is the promise of virtual reality (VR): a world delivered to us without leaving home. (这便是虚拟现实的魅力：足不出户，便能领略万千世界)” 解释能产生该体验的原因，选项B“I am not moving, yet I am traveling.(我身形未动，却已然踏上旅途)” 承接前文的具体场景描述，点明VR的核心特征——身体未动，心灵已远，引出下文。 【17题详解】 根据后文“There is no need to consider weather conditions, health issues or economic pressure. You may enter distant places at any moment and leave just as freely.(无需考量天气、身体状况与经济负担，随时可以奔赴远方，来去自如)” 可知此处讲述虚拟旅行的诸多优点，选项D“It is convenient, time-saving, and widely accessible.(它便捷省时，且人人都能体验)” 总结VR旅行的优势，引出下文的具体优势描述。 【18题详解】 根据后文“Travelers wander through unfamiliar streets, taste local dishes, and interact face-to-face with people shaped by different traditions. Such interactions wake up the senses and create lasting memories.(游客漫步陌生街巷，品尝当地美食，与有着不同民俗风情的人们面对面交流。这般体验能唤醒感官，留下难以忘怀的回忆)” 开始阐述真实旅行的独特意义，与上段虚拟旅行形成转折对比，选项A“Yet real travel leaves a deeper mark.(但真实旅行留下的印记更为深刻)” 起到过渡转折作用。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Virtual travel offers designed scenes and programmed sensations, but it remains carefully controlled. Real travel, by contrast, is shaped by the unexpected.(虚拟旅行的场景与感官体验均为预设编排，全程可控。反观现实旅行，处处充满未知变数)”及后文“In those unplanned moments, understanding becomes lived rather than recorded.(在这些意外瞬间里，感悟源于亲身经历，而非单纯的影像记录)”可知，空前说明真实旅行充满变数，空后讲述突发瞬间带来真切感悟，选项G“It demands choices, adaptation, and continuous awareness of the unexpected.(它需要抉择、适应，时刻应对意外状况)”承接真实旅行的未知特性。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Still, it cannot replace actual presence. Travel is not simply about seeing farther; it is also about feeling where you stand.(但它终究无法替代亲身抵达。旅行不只是眺望远方，更是感受脚下所处之地)”可知，旅行不仅是看得更远，也是感受你所站立的地方。选项F“Some knowledge only arrives when your feet are on the ground.(有些感悟唯有亲身踏足才能收获)”升华主题，强调“身临其境”的不可替代性。 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，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。 Corbin, a young man with quick and clever fingers, had always dreamed of being an artist.

Though he had planned on retiring at fifty-five, he was still working hard. For him, raising four children — especially now that my mother had stopped working and was at home full time — meant he couldn’t afford to retire. It also meant he couldn’t make good on something he had promised my mother. “Sweetheart,” he’d say, “I’m going to take you on a cruise (乘船游览).” He still told her that, and only these days he added, “as soon as the kids are out of college.” I knew that putting all of us kids through college probably meant it was going to be a while before my father achieved his dream of going away with my mother on a cruise — though it didn’t stop him from cutting out ads about cruise vacations! It was cute, but it was kind of sad, too. I remember my grandmother always wanted to go to Nova Scotia. My grandfather would always say, “We’ll go next year, sweetheart.” Then she died. My grandmother never got to see Nova Scotia. I just didn’t want my parents to wait until it was too late. I decided to save up my money to send my parents on a cruise, even if it was a short three-day cruise. I was determined that just as my parents had made my dreams come true for all these years from my first bicycle to my first soccer camp — I was going to do all I could to make their dream of going on a cruise come true. 注意： （1）续写词数应为100个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I started doing part-time jobs and yard work around the neighborhood. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One year later, I finally saved up enough money! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I started doing part-time jobs and yard work around the neighborhood. Every Saturday, I mowed lawns and pulled weeds for the neighbors who lived nearby. Sometimes I babysat for the Johnsons, whose kids were really energetic. I also worked at a local restaurant after school, where I washed dishes and cleaned tables. Although I was tired, I kept going because I knew why I was saving every dollar. My friends invited me to go to the movies or buy new video games, but I said no. I put all the money I earned into a special jar that I hid under my bed. It was hard work, but I knew that the sacrifice would be worth it when I saw the look on my parents’ faces. One year later, I finally saved up enough money! I went online and booked a three-day cruise for my parents, which included meals and a cabin with a sea view. On my dad’s birthday, I gave him a card and the tickets. When he realized what they were, he hugged me tightly and thanked me. My mom cried happy tears. They went on the trip the following month, and it was everything they had dreamed of. The photos they brought back showed them smiling widely on the deck. Making their dream come true was the best gift I had ever given. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。父亲因抚养四个孩子无法实现带母亲乘船游览的承诺，看着父母等待，想到祖母未竟的遗憾，作者决心努力攒钱，圆他们的梦想。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首可知，第一段可以描写作者为了攒钱具体做了哪些兼职工作，以及作者把钱存起来的过程和心理活动。 ②由第二段句首可知，第二段可以描写作者如何用攒下的钱为父母预订邮轮，在父亲生日时送出礼物，父母收到礼物时的反应，以及他们旅行归来后的幸福状态。 2.续写线索：开始做兼职存钱——坚持工作忍受诱惑——一年后攒够钱——订游轮送给父母——父母感动幸福——感悟：爱是最好的礼物 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①除草：pull weeds/remove weeds/clear weeds ②预订、预约：book/reserve/make a reservation 情绪类 ①疲惫的：tired/exhausted/worn out ②快乐的：happy/delighted 【点睛】【高分句型1】Every Saturday, I mowed lawns and pulled weeds for the neighbors who lived nearby.

B In August 2005, I left my quiet coastal hometown in Maine for Chicago, a big city famous for its skyscrapers and lively cultural scene. My hometown had only one small bookstore and no art galleries, so the endless concerts, museums and restaurants in Chicago seemed like a dream come true. As a college freshman, I was excited to breathe in the city’s energy — yet I often found myself longing for the sound of waves crashing and the smell of salt in the air. Years went by, and I built a fulfilling life in Chicago: I graduated, got a job I loved, and made lifelong friends. Still, a soft nostalgia (乡愁) for Maine never truly faded, and I soon realized that “home” isn’t defined by the number of attractions a place has, but by the sense of comfort and belonging it brings. It’s the way the light falls on the ocean at sunset, the taste of my mom’s seafood chowder, and the familiarity of running into neighbors on the street. “Homesickness often surfaces when we’re missing the emotional comfort of a familiar environment, not just the place itself,” says Dr. Lisa Carter, a psychologist. “We don’t just miss a location — we miss the routines (日常习惯), the relationships, and the sense of safety that location provided. For some, this comfort can be recreated in a new place; for others, it remains a unique part of their past.” Although the nostalgia for Maine has never truly faded, even after years of happy life in Chicago, there are simple ways to ease this kind of longing. Creating small, familiar routines in your new life — like baking your hometown’s favorite cookies every Sunday or taking a walk in a nearby park at the same time each evening — can help build a new sense of belonging. These little acts don’t erase the memories of home; instead, they weave those memories into the fabric of your present life. I’m lucky to have a good life in Chicago, with a caring husband, lovely children and supportive friends, but however much I love my life in Chicago, there’s a part of me that will forever belong to Maine. 4. Why did the author move to Chicago? A. To enjoy the various attractions. B. To take up a new job in the city center. C. To receive her college education there. D. To escape the boredom of her hometown. 5. What does Dr. Lisa Carter think nostalgia mainly comes from? A. The absence of familiar emotional comfort. B. The difficulty in building new daily routines. C. The disappointment with the new environment. D. The loss of important relationships from the past. 6. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The benefits of adapting to a new lifestyle. B. The methods of relieving nostalgic feelings. C. The importance of holding on to past memories. D. The continuity of the author’s nostalgia for Maine. 7. What message does the author try to deliver in the passage? A. Home is where the heart is. B. Home keeps the wolf from the door. C. Pleasure blinds one to home. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. C Stanford assistant professor Ruike Zhao published a significant medical breakthrough in Nature: using a tiny 2 mm micro-robot, she increased the success rate of blood clot (血块) removal from a mere 11% to an amazing 90%, sending shockwaves through the medical world. In modern society, about one in every dozen people may experience a blood clot in their lifetime. It is widely known that blood clots are the leading cause of heart attacks. During treatment, quickly and effectively unblocking blood vessels (血管) becomes a matter of life and death. Unfortunately, traditional mechanical methods have a low success rate. The process is like trying to pick up broken tofu with chopsticks — not only is success unlikely, but the situation may even worsen. Blood clots may break apart while being deformed, resulting in small pieces stuck in hard-to-reach areas. However, Professor Zhao’s 2 mm micro-robot enters blood vessels and, using high-speed rotation (旋转), produces forces to reduce the clot size to 5%. It’s like when you press and rotate soft things, like hair, between your hands. The force makes them stick together into a small ball. The micro-robot works similarly, using pressure to bring the clot pieces together, making them easier to remove. This process requires no drugs, causes no vessel damage, and effectively reopens blocked blood vessels. What’s surprising is that the micro-robot is inspired by subway TBMs, tunnel-boring machines (盾构机). The way tunnel-boring machines efficiently handle hard soil and rock in narrow spaces inspired the creation. This brilliant Chinese researcher shrank the underground machine to a size tens of thousands of times smaller, and adapted it for use in human blood vessels. The technology has been successfully tested on pigs. While it remains in the laboratory stage, the breakthrough itself is exciting. This technology may soon go beyond blood clots to treat stones in the body as well. 8. What is the major advantage of Zhao’s micro-robot over traditional methods? A. It identifies blood clots quickly. B. It is eco-friendly and economical. C. It breaks blood clots down into pieces. D. It increases success rate and reduces side effects. 9. Why does the author mention the action of rotating hair between hands? A. To show ways to handle soft things in daily life. B. To explain how the robot works physically. C. To describe a basic physical phenomenon. D. To stress the soft nature of blood clots. 10. What does the underlined word “shrank” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Downsized. B. Examined. C. Upgraded. D. Strengthened. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Creative Inventor in the Medical Field B. A Tiny Robot for Blood Clot Treatment C. The Application of TBMs in Engineering D. The Development of Medical Robots in China D Imagine it’s a Thanksgiving dinner. The table is loud, your aunt is describing her cat’s new diet, your cousin is arguing about football matches, and someone is clattering dishes in the kitchen. And yet, in the middle of all that chaos (混乱), you somehow manage to follow one conversation. Not only that, but if someone across the room says your name, even quietly, you immediately turn your head like your brain has just got a signal (信号). How does that happen? That’s something called the Cocktail Party Effect in action. The term comes from psychologist Colin Cherry, who was trying to understand how we process sounds in noisy environments like, say, a cocktail party. Cherry’s experiment was simple but creative. He played two different recordings of people talking (one in each ear) and asked volunteers to repeat back the message from just one side. This task showed something unusual: people could focus on one message almost perfectly, but they remembered almost nothing from the other. Note “almost nothing,” by the way. The exception here was personally meaningful information. If their own name was spoken in the “ignored” (忽视) ear, they noticed it! The Cocktail Party Effect often gets misunderstood as showing that humans can perform several tasks at one time and listen to several conversations at the same time. Actually, no, we can’t. When you think you’re listening to two people at once, you’re actually jumping back and forth between them, missing bits of each. Your brain, amazing as it is, is designed for focus, not for chaos. The Cocktail Party Effect might sound like a fun party trick, but it actually has real-world effects that reach far beyond the dinner table. In technology, it’s the cornerstone of how voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant can pick out your command from a noisy room. And in relationships? It’s a gentle reminder that “hearing” and “listening” are certainly not the same thing. Just because your ears are open doesn’t mean your attention is. So let’s come back to that Thanksgiving table. The Cocktail Party Effect is what lets you survive it by cutting through all the chaos so you can focus on one voice at a time. 12. Which of the following is likely the most noticeable to you in dinner chaos? A. The background sound. B. Your aunt’s cat talk. C. The mention of your name. D. A comment on matches. 13. What ability of the brain is reflected in Cherry’s experiment? A. Emotional control. B. Quick reaction. C. Targeted attention. D. Immediate memory. 14. What is a common misunderstanding of the Cocktail Party Effect? A. It unfolds humans’ listening skills. B. It proves humans’ multitasking ability. C. It presents the brain’s focusing power. D. It confirms the brain’s processing limitations. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the application of the Cocktail Party Effect? A. Worried. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Positive. 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。 I put on a headset, and within seconds I am somewhere else. Polar bears are wandering across the Arctic ice fields. Moments later, I find myself inside a museum, standing close to a painting I have never seen in real life. ____16____ This is the promise of virtual reality (VR): a world delivered to us without leaving home. There is much to appreciate in this form of travel. ____17____ There is no need to consider weather conditions, health issues or economic pressure. You may enter distant places at any moment and leave just as freely. For old people, those who have trouble moving, or people without much money, it opens a door to the world that real trips can hardly give. ____18____ Travelers wander through unfamiliar streets, taste local dishes, and interact face-to-face with people shaped by different traditions. Such interactions wake up the senses and create lasting memories. More importantly, they change how places feel to us, not just how we understand them. This difference is clear, because learning about a destination is not the same as being there. Virtual travel offers designed scenes and programmed sensations, but it remains carefully controlled. Real travel, by contrast, is shaped by the unexpected. ____19____ In those unplanned moments, understanding becomes lived rather than recorded. Virtual reality will undoubtedly continue to grow, enriching how we preview journeys and imagine distant worlds. Still, it cannot replace actual presence. Travel is not simply about seeing farther; it is also about feeling where you stand. ____20____ A. Yet real travel leaves a deeper mark. B. I am not moving, yet I am traveling. C. My feet were killing me after a long journey. D. It is convenient, time-saving, and widely accessible. E. Quite often, we find ourselves tired out during real travel. F. Some knowledge only arrives when your feet are on the ground. G. It demands choices, adaptation, and continuous awareness of the unexpected. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，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。 Corbin, a young man with quick and clever fingers, had always dreamed of being an artist.

Though he had planned on retiring at fifty-five, he was still working hard. For him, raising four children — especially now that my mother had stopped working and was at home full time — meant he couldn’t afford to retire. It also meant he couldn’t make good on something he had promised my mother. “Sweetheart,” he’d say, “I’m going to take you on a cruise (乘船游览).” He still told her that, and only these days he added, “as soon as the kids are out of college.” I knew that putting all of us kids through college probably meant it was going to be a while before my father achieved his dream of going away with my mother on a cruise — though it didn’t stop him from cutting out ads about cruise vacations! It was cute, but it was kind of sad, too. I remember my grandmother always wanted to go to Nova Scotia. My grandfather would always say, “We’ll go next year, sweetheart.” Then she died. My grandmother never got to see Nova Scotia. I just didn’t want my parents to wait until it was too late. I decided to save up my money to send my parents on a cruise, even if it was a short three-day cruise. I was determined that just as my parents had made my dreams come true for all these years from my first bicycle to my first soccer camp — I was going to do all I could to make their dream of going on a cruise come true. 注意： （1）续写词数应为100个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I started doing part-time jobs and yard work around the neighborhood. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One year later, I finally saved up enough money! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
