We gathered around, expecting him to be pleased. Instead, he held the device as if it were a foreign object, his thumb hovering awkwardly over the screen. He gave a polite smile that didn’t reach his eyes, and then set it aside. Later that day, I found him in his workshop — his true kingdom, filled with the smell of wood and oil. The tablet was lying untouched on a shelf, gathering dust next to jars of nails. “It’s too... clean,” he explained to me. “There’s no weight to it, no resistance. How can you truly fix something you can’t feel?” Then, one Saturday morning, he announced he was clearing out the garage. But what emerged from the garage was not bags of trash, but a parade of neighborhood kids, each carrying a bicycle with a problem: a loose chain, a wobbling wheel, a stubborn brake. Grandpa had placed a small sign at the end of the driveway: “Doc’s Bike Shop — Payment by Story.” And so the driveway became his new workshop. He traded his expertise not for money, but for tales of school adventures and summer dreams. His rough, worn hands, once hesitant around a tablet, were sure and steady as they spun a wheel or tightened a bolt. The laughter of children and the ringing of bicycle bells replaced the previous silence of the community. He didn’t need to enter their digital world; he created a real one in his own driveway. He wasn’t rejecting the new; he was simply reminding us that some connections can’t be downloaded. They have to be built, piece by piece, with the touch of a hand. 4. What can be inferred about the grandfather’s response to the tablet? A. He hated to learn new technology. B. He accepted it politely, though uninterested. C. He considered it a waste of money and time. D. He disliked the products made in foreign countries. 5. Why does the author mention the tablet gathering dust? A. To imply the tablet was out of date. B. To showcase grandfather’s attitude to the gift. C. To highlight grandpa’s passion for his hobby. D. To introduce the workshop’s messy condition. 6. What does the underlined word “wobbling” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Running steadily. B. Shining like a star. C. Singing softly. D. Moving from side to side. 7. What did the grandfather achieve by starting the service in the driveway? A. He proved his capability and productivity. B. He demonstrated the complexity of craftsmanship. C. He successfully earned himself money and fame. D. He found a way to connect with younger generation. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述在祖父80岁生日时收到平板电脑，他虽礼貌接受但并不感兴趣，之后祖父在自家车道开了自行车修理铺，以故事作为报酬，通过这种方式与孩子们建立起真实的联系。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“He gave a polite smile that didn't reach his eyes, and then set it aside.(他礼貌地笑了笑，但眼神中并无笑意，然后把平板电脑放在了一边)”以及第二段““It's too... clean,” he explained to me. “There's no weight to it, no resistance. How can you truly fix something you can't feel?”(“它太……干净了，” 他向我解释道。“它没有重量，没有阻力。你怎么能真正修理你感觉不到的东西呢？”)”可知，祖父虽然礼貌地接受了平板电脑，但并不感兴趣。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Later that day, I found him in his workshop — his true kingdom, filled with the smell of wood and oil. The tablet was lying untouched on a shelf, gathering dust next to jars of nails. “It's too... clean,” he explained to me. “There's no weight to it, no resistance. How can you truly fix something you can't feel?”(那天晚些时候，我在他的工坊里找到了他 —— 这里是他真正的一方天地，四处弥漫着木材与油脂的气息。那个平板电脑静静搁置在架子上、无人触碰，挨着几罐钉子，落满了灰尘。 “它太…… 干净了。” 他向我解释道，“没有质感，没有阻力。倘若无法切身感受，又怎能真正修好一样东西？”)”可知这是为了展示祖父对这份礼物的态度——不感兴趣。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“each carrying a bicycle with a problem(每个孩子都带着一辆有问题的自行车)”以及后文“a loose chain, a stubborn brake(松动的链条，难操作的刹车)”可知，“wobbling”描述的是轮子有问题，“wobbling wheel”指的是晃动的轮子，所以“wobbling”意思是“左右移动”。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He didn't need to enter their digital world; he created a real one in his own driveway. He wasn't rejecting the new; he was simply reminding us that some connections can't be downloaded. They have to be built, piece by piece, with the touch of a hand.(他不需要进入他们的数字世界；他在自己的车道上创造了一个真实的世界。他并不是在拒绝新事物；他只是在提醒我们，有些联系是无法下载的。它们必须通过亲手一点点建立起来)”可知，祖父通过在车道上提供修理服务，找到了与年轻一代建立联系的方式。 C You leave an hour of online surfing with the sense that the world is falling apart. In the real world, however, a neighbor you disagree with politically helps you start your car. The dissonance is no accident. It is how today’s Internet works. To better understand this gap, researchers surveyed 1,090 adults and found that people dramatically overestimate how common harmful behavior on the Internet is. On Reddit, participants thought harmful commenters were 13 times more common, estimating 43% of users post harmful content, while the actual figure is just 3%. Most offensive posts come from a small group of highly active users, whose outsized posts shape public beliefs, creating the “majority illusion” that makes this minority seem like the norm, drowning out the silent majority. Our brains are wired to notice threats and moral breaks — negative content sticks in our minds. Additionally, social media algorithms (算法) prioritize content that causes strong reactions to keep users engaged, with falsehoods spreading faster than truth. Bot networks (僵尸网络) add to the noise: it has been reported that bad bots make up roughly a third of global web traffic, misleading what trends and who appears popular. Measuring online harmful content is tricky, as automated tools often miss unobvious aggressive remarks. But what matters more is not “how harmful is the Internet,” but what ordinary users perceive as normal. Social psychologists call this dynamic “pluralistic ignorance”: people privately reject harmful norms but go along with them publicly. This misconception formed online creates a dangerous gap, fueling public distrust, preventing public participation, and lowering moral standards — if we think “everyone is awful,” we’re less likely to be kind. While there is no silver bullet, practical steps — rooted in policy and personal awareness — can narrow the gap. The key lies in recognizing online engagement doesn’t equal approval: skip “most engaging” feeds and ground our views in actual world connections. Imagine a public square where the loudest few don’t seize the microphone — disagreement remains, but the air resounds with daily life: neighbors helping start cars, strangers holding doors. Online, we can make that reality visible again. 8. What does the underlined word “dissonance” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Disorder. B. Prejudice. C. Contrast. D. Debate. 9. What does the “majority illusion” refer to in the text? A. A false impression. B. A harmful behavior. C. An overestimated post. D. A minority of commenters. 10. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Why global web traffic misleads people. B. Why the minority feels like the majority. C. How we identify online harmful content. D. What harm online misconception causes. 11. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Acting like the loudest few. B. Improving moral standards. C. Avoiding online engagement. D. Valuing real-life interactions. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了网络世界与现实世界之间的差异，指出人们往往高估网络上的有害行为，并分析了造成这种认知偏差的原因及其影响，最后提出了缩小这一差距的建议。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“You leave an hour of online surfing with the sense that the world is falling apart. In the real world, however, a neighbor you disagree with politically helps you start your car. The dissonance is no accident. (你上网一小时后，感觉世界要崩溃了。然而，在现实世界中，一个与你政治观点不同的邻居却帮你发动了汽车。这种dissonance并非偶然)”可知，前一句描述了网络世界带来的负面感受，后一句则通过现实中的例子展示了与网络世界截然不同的积极体验，两者形成对比。由此可推测，划线词dissonance指的是这种“对比”，与C项“Contrast”意思相近。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Most offensive posts come from a small group of highly active users, whose outsized posts shape public beliefs, creating the “majority illusion” that makes this minority seem like the norm, drowning out the silent majority.(大多数冒犯性帖子来自一小群高度活跃的用户，他们过度的帖子塑造了公众的信念，制造了一种“多数错觉”，使这一少数群体看起来像是常态，淹没了沉默的大多数)”可知，少数高度活跃的用户通过发布大量帖子，使公众误以为他们的行为是大多数人的行为，从而形成了一种“错误的印象”。由此可推测，“majority illusion”指的是“错误的印象”。故选A项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Our brains are wired to notice threats and moral breaks — negative content sticks in our minds. Additionally, social media algorithms (算法) prioritize content that causes strong reactions to keep users engaged, with falsehoods spreading faster than truth. Bot networks (僵尸网络) add to the noise: it has been reported that bad bots make up roughly a third of global web traffic, misleading what trends and who appears popular.(我们的大脑天生就会注意到威胁和道德上的缺陷——负面内容会留在我们的记忆中。此外，社交媒体算法会优先考虑能引起强烈反应的内容，以保持用户的参与度，而虚假信息的传播速度比真实信息更快。僵尸网络增加了噪音：据报道，恶意机器人约占全球网络流量的三分之一，误导了哪些趋势和谁看起来受欢迎)”可知，本段主要分析了为什么少数高度活跃的用户会感觉像多数，即解释了“多数错觉”产生的原因。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The key lies in recognizing online engagement doesn’t equal approval: skip “most engaging” feeds and ground our views in actual world connections. Imagine a public square where the loudest few don’t seize the microphone — disagreement remains, but the air resounds with daily life: neighbors helping start cars, strangers holding doors. Online, we can make that reality visible again.(关键在于认识到网络参与并不等于认可：跳过“最吸引人”的动态，将我们的观点建立在现实世界的联系上。想象一个广场，在那里，声音最大的几个人不会抢走麦克风——分歧依然存在，但空气中回荡着日常生活：邻居帮忙发动汽车，陌生人为你开门。在网上，我们可以让这种现实再次可见)”可知，作者建议人们应该重视现实生活中的互动，而不是仅仅关注网络上的动态。故选D项。 D Chinese scientists have developed a new refrigeration method that solves a long-standing challenge in cooling technology. Published in Nature, the study responds to rising energy demands in applications ranging from food preservation to data center cooling. Traditional vapor-compression systems consume vast amounts of electricity and rely on harmful refrigerants. In China, refrigeration accounts for nearly 20% of the nation’s electricity use and 7.8% of its carbon emissions (碳排放). While solid-state cooling avoids harmful gases, it suffers from poor heat transfer, limiting its real-world application. Led by Professor Li Bing from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the research team overcame this by combining solid cooling effects with liquid flow. They used a common, non-toxic salt whose dissolution (溶解) in water absorbs large amounts of heat. Conversely, applying pressure causes the salt to come out and release heat. Cycling this pressure achieves continuous cooling. “Unlike traditional solid methods, where heat moves slowly, our system integrates the refrigerant and heat-transfer medium into a single liquid,” Li said. “This solves the ‘impossible triangle’ — achieving low pollution, strong cooling, and fast heat transfer all at once.” Lab tests showed a temperature drop of nearly 30°C in just 20 seconds at room temperature, and up to 54°C at higher temperatures — significantly outperforming existing solid coolers. A prototype cycle achieved a cooling capacity of 67 joules per gram with nearly 77% efficiency. The system also proved stable, reversible, and instantly responsive to pressure changes. “This technology moves beyond traditional refrigeration principles,” Li added. “By turning the coolant into a fluid, it opens the door to high-performance, zero-emission cooling for homes and industry.” He noted the method’s strong high-temperature performance makes it an ideal candidate for heat management in next-generation AI computing facilities. While engineering challenges remain, especially in achieving rapidly switchable pressure cycles, the principle could be adapted to other materials for diverse cooling needs. 12. What is the main problem with traditional solid-state cooling systems? A. They transfer heat poorly. B. They produce harmful gases. C. They fail at high temperature. D. They use too much electricity. 13. What is the key innovation of the new cooling method? A. Using salt instead of chemical refrigerants. B. Increasing pressure inside traditional systems. C. Replacing pressure cycles with continuous flow. D. Combining solid cooling with liquid heat transfer. 14. Why does the author mention the “impossible triangle” in the text? A. To highlight the value of the new system. B. To illustrate the design of the new system. C. To explain why old systems are still in use. D. To show the limitations of previous systems. 15. What does Li Bing see as a promising application of the new technology? A. Preserving food in supply chains. B. Replacing traditional home refrigerators. C. Cooling future AI data centers. D. Achieving rapidly switchable pressure cycles. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲的是中国科学家开发出一种结合固体冷却效应与液体流动的新型制冷方法，解决了传统固态制冷技术传热效率低的核心难题，实现了低污染、强冷却和快速传热的平衡，并在实验室测试中展现出显著的温降性能与高能效比。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“While solid-state cooling avoids harmful gases, it suffers from poor heat transfer, limiting its real-world application. (虽然固态冷却避免了有害气体的排放，但其传热效果不佳，限制了其在实际应用中的推广。)”可知，传统固态冷却系统的主要问题是它们散热效果不佳。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Led by Professor Li Bing from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the research team overcame this by combining solid cooling effects with liquid flow. (由中国科学院的李兵教授领导的研究团队通过将固态冷却效果与液体流动相结合克服了这一难题。)”和第四段““Unlike traditional solid methods, where heat moves slowly, our system integrates the refrigerant and heat-transfer medium into a single liquid,” Li said. (李教授表示：“与传统的固态方法不同，我们的系统将制冷剂和传热介质整合到了一种单一的液体中，这样热量的传递就变得迅速得多。”)”可知，创新在于将固态冷却效应与液态传热结合。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“This solves the ‘impossible triangle’ — achieving low pollution, strong cooling, and fast heat transfer all at once. (这解决了‘不可能的三角形’问题——同时实现低污染、强冷却和快速散热。)”可知，此处引用这一概念是为了凸显新系统同时兼顾了以往技术难以兼得的三个优势，从而突出其创新价值与突破性。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He noted the method’s strong high-temperature performance makes it an ideal candidate for heat management in next-generation AI computing facilities. (他指出，该方法在高温方面的出色表现使其成为下一代人工智能计算设施中热管理的理想选择。)”可知，这项新技术可以冷却未来的人工智能数据中心。 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。 Agriculture, as one of the oldest activities of human beings, has been shaping the development of civilization. ____16____ It supplies not only food but also raw materials for countless industries, making it impossible for society to move forward without its support.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一位心理学教授用“举水杯越久越重”的比喻，告诉我们压力本身无害，持续背负才会消耗自己，要学会及时放下压力。 【21题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：有一天，一位心理学教授受邀来到我们学校，在学校的礼堂给我们讲授压力管理原则。A. chemistry化学；B. physics物理；C. psychology心理学；D. biology生物学。全文核心是用生活化的比喻讲解压力与情绪管理的心理规律，这是心理学的研究范畴。后文“Your stresses and worries in life are very much like this glass of water.”教授通过水杯实验引导大家理解心理感受，也印证了她的身份。故选C项。 【22题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：有一天，一位心理学教授受邀来到我们学校，在学校的礼堂给我们讲授压力管理原则。A. health健康；B. class班级；C. time时间；D. stress压力。根据后文反复出现核心词“stresses and worries”（压力和烦恼）、“burdens”（负担），教授全程都在讲解如何应对压力，因此她讲的是压力管理原则。故选D项。 【23题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当她举起一杯水时，我们原本以为她会问那个典型的“杯子是半空还是半满”的问题。A. drank喝；B. raised举起；C. drew画，拉；D. fetched去取来。根据后文教授提问“How heavy is this glass of water I’m holding?”说明她此时是举起了一杯水展示给大家。故选B项。 【24题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：当她举起一杯水时，我们原本以为她会问那个典型的“杯子是半空还是半满”的问题。A. typical典型的；B. meaningful有意义的；C. simple简单的；D. ordinary普通的。根据常识以及下文“glass half-empty or glass half-full”可知，“杯子是半空还是半满”是心理学中最经典、最具代表性的测试问题，是大家普遍熟知的“标准题型”。typical 强调“符合大众预期的典型性”，比ordinary更贴合语境。故选A项。 【25题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：相反，教授问：“我拿着的这杯水有多重？”A. However然而；B. Moreover此外；C. Therefore因此；D. Instead反而，取而代之的是。根据语境以及下文“the professor asked, “How heavy is this glass of water I’m holding?””可知，我们以为她会问那个经典问题，结果她没有问，反而问了另一个问题。Instead 精准表达“用 B 替代 A”的逻辑。故选D项。 【26题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我们兴奋地纷纷大声回答，从八盎司到几磅不等。A. pointed指出；B. spoke说；C. shouted喊；D. figured认为，算出。根据句首有副词“Excitedly”（兴奋地），可知，大家情绪高涨，会大声喊出自己的答案。shout out 是固定搭配，意为“大声说出”。故选C项。 【27题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：“在我看来，”她回答道，“这杯子的绝对重量并不重要。”A. volume体积；B. weight重量；C. content内容；D. size尺寸。根据前文教授的提问是“How heavy is this glass of water”，因此此处讨论的是这杯水的绝对重量并不重要。故选B项。 【28题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：一小时持续持握，我的手臂可能会有点酸痛。A. ache疼痛；B. weaken变弱；C. shake摇晃；D. injure受伤。根据后文“and you begin to ache a little”提到开始有点疼了，可知，举水杯一小时，胳膊会酸痛，这是符合生理感受的递进描述。故选A项。 【29题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：一整天不间断地持握，我的手臂很可能会完全麻痹，以至于我不得不把杯子放地上。A. inviting邀请；B. pushing推；C. forcing迫使；D. inspiring激励。根据上文“my arm will likely feel completely paralyzed”可知，胳膊完全麻痹是一种被动的生理状态，这种状态会迫使你不得不把杯子摔到地上。故选C项。 【30题详解】 考查连词词义辨析。句意：在每一种情况下，杯子都没有变化，但我拿着它的时间越长，我就觉得它越重。A. so所以；B. or或者；C. and和；D. but但是。根据上文“the glass doesn’t change”以及下文“the longer I hold it, the heavier it feels to me”可知，“杯子本身没有变”和“举得越久，你感觉它越重”是转折关系，用but连接。故选D项。 【31题详解】 考查代词词义辨析。句意：试着思考它们一会儿，什么都不会发生。A. nothing什么都没有；B. something某事；C. anything任何事；D. everything一切。根据语境以及上文“Think about them for a while”可知，此处指的是试着思考它们一会儿，什么都不会发生。故选A项。 【32题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：整天想着这些事情，你会感到精疲力竭——直到倒下之前都无法做其他任何事情。A. unconfident不自信的；B. incapable不能的，无能力的；C. unaware没意识到的；D. unconscious无意识的。根据上文“and you’ll feel paralyzed”可知，你会感到精疲力竭——直到放下它们之前都无法做其他任何事情。固定搭配 be incapable of doing sth. 意为“没有能力做某事”。故选B项。 【33题详解】 考查连词词义辨析。句意：整天想着这些事情，你会感到精疲力竭——直到倒下之前都无法做其他任何事情。A. until直到；B. though虽然；C. unless除非；D. after在……之后。根据语境以及下文“you drop them”可知，这种“什么都做不了”的麻痹状态会一直持续，直到你放下压力为止。until准确表达了动作持续的终点。故选A项。 【34题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：重要的是要记住要放下你的压力和忧虑。A. turn down拒绝；B. get over克服；C. hold back抑制，隐瞒；D. let go of放下，松开。全文核心观点就是“放下压力”，前文多次出现“drop them”（放下它们）、“put all your burdens down”（放下所有负担），可知，此处let go of 与这些表达语义完全一致。故选D项。 【35题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：如果你仍然感到昨天压力的重压，这就是一个强烈的信号，表明是时候放下这个“杯子”了。A. feelings感受；B. regret遗憾；C. glass杯子；D. emotions情绪。通读全文可知，教授全程用“水杯”比喻压力，因此结尾用“是时候把杯子放下了”来收束全文，既呼应开头的实验，又让哲理更生动形象。故选C项。 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Dating back to the Three Kingdoms period in 223 AD, Yellow Crane Tower, ____36____ stands on the top of Snake Mountain in Wuhan, Hubei Province, is not just a sightseeing spot, but also a testament (见证) to China’s rich history.

I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others. “Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” She added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project. The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen. “Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea?” I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said. Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh. Her words sank in. At that moment, an idea formed in my mind. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.” “Oh? I’ll try not to forget that,” she laughed. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. I decided to design a gentle reminder app especially for the elderly. I listed simple functions: important dates, daily tasks, and warm notes. I focused on making the words big and the buttons easy to touch. Whenever I felt stuck, I thought of Mrs. Thompson’s kind smile and her wish for something to help her remember. I carefully tested every part again and again, making sure it was simple and helpful. Deep in my heart, I hoped this little app could bring convenience and warmth to her and more elderly people. A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. I introduced the app’s purpose and showed how it worked. Ms. Davis praised my thoughtful idea and spoke highly of my project. After class, I brought the app to Mrs. Thompson. She was delighted and tried it at once. “This is exactly what I need,” she said happily. Watching her smile, I truly understood what Ms. Davis had meant: coding is not just code, but a way to use technology to care for others. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了主人公Mae加入编程俱乐部，需完成一个解决实际问题的App项目。她从健忘的邻居Mrs. Thompson的需求中获得灵感，设计了一款提醒类App，最终展示项目并理解了编程的意义 —— 用科技关爱他人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，我坐在书桌前，笔记本打开着，思绪在脑海中飞速运转，脑海中浮现着各种细节”可知，第一段可描写作者想专门为老人设计一款“提醒App”，并描写设计过程和决心。 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，我向Davis女士展示了我的项目情况”可知，第二段可描写Davis女士对这款App的认可以及作者向Mrs. Thompson演示其使用方式，最后描写作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：明确设计理念，专为老人设计的一款“提醒App”—— 设计过程和决心 ——向Ms. Davis展示项目并获得认可 ——向Mrs. Thompson演示App的使用方法 —— 感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决心做：decide to do/be determined to do/make up one’s mind to do ②测试、检验：test/check/examine ③专注于：focus on/share/concentrate on ④称赞：praise/think highly of/speak highly of 情绪类 ①高兴的：delighted/pleased/cheerful ②亲切的：kind/ genial 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B For his 80th birthday, my grandfather, a man who had fixed everything with his large hands, received a tablet from my cousin. We gathered around, expecting him to be pleased. Instead, he held the device as if it were a foreign object, his thumb hovering awkwardly over the screen. He gave a polite smile that didn’t reach his eyes, and then set it aside. Later that day, I found him in his workshop — his true kingdom, filled with the smell of wood and oil. The tablet was lying untouched on a shelf, gathering dust next to jars of nails. “It’s too... clean,” he explained to me. “There’s no weight to it, no resistance. How can you truly fix something you can’t feel?” Then, one Saturday morning, he announced he was clearing out the garage. But what emerged from the garage was not bags of trash, but a parade of neighborhood kids, each carrying a bicycle with a problem: a loose chain, a wobbling wheel, a stubborn brake. Grandpa had placed a small sign at the end of the driveway: “Doc’s Bike Shop — Payment by Story.” And so the driveway became his new workshop. He traded his expertise not for money, but for tales of school adventures and summer dreams. His rough, worn hands, once hesitant around a tablet, were sure and steady as they spun a wheel or tightened a bolt. The laughter of children and the ringing of bicycle bells replaced the previous silence of the community. He didn’t need to enter their digital world; he created a real one in his own driveway. He wasn’t rejecting the new; he was simply reminding us that some connections can’t be downloaded. They have to be built, piece by piece, with the touch of a hand. 4. What can be inferred about the grandfather’s response to the tablet? A. He hated to learn new technology. B. He accepted it politely, though uninterested. C. He considered it a waste of money and time. D. He disliked the products made in foreign countries. 5. Why does the author mention the tablet gathering dust? A. To imply the tablet was out of date. B. To showcase grandfather’s attitude to the gift. C. To highlight grandpa’s passion for his hobby. D. To introduce the workshop’s messy condition. 6. What does the underlined word “wobbling” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Running steadily. B. Shining like a star. C. Singing softly. D. Moving from side to side. 7. What did the grandfather achieve by starting the service in the driveway? A. He proved his capability and productivity. B. He demonstrated the complexity of craftsmanship. C. He successfully earned himself money and fame. D. He found a way to connect with younger generation. C You leave an hour of online surfing with the sense that the world is falling apart. In the real world, however, a neighbor you disagree with politically helps you start your car. The dissonance is no accident. It is how today’s Internet works. To better understand this gap, researchers surveyed 1,090 adults and found that people dramatically overestimate how common harmful behavior on the Internet is. On Reddit, participants thought harmful commenters were 13 times more common, estimating 43% of users post harmful content, while the actual figure is just 3%. Most offensive posts come from a small group of highly active users, whose outsized posts shape public beliefs, creating the “majority illusion” that makes this minority seem like the norm, drowning out the silent majority. Our brains are wired to notice threats and moral breaks — negative content sticks in our minds. Additionally, social media algorithms (算法) prioritize content that causes strong reactions to keep users engaged, with falsehoods spreading faster than truth. Bot networks (僵尸网络) add to the noise: it has been reported that bad bots make up roughly a third of global web traffic, misleading what trends and who appears popular. Measuring online harmful content is tricky, as automated tools often miss unobvious aggressive remarks. But what matters more is not “how harmful is the Internet,” but what ordinary users perceive as normal. Social psychologists call this dynamic “pluralistic ignorance”: people privately reject harmful norms but go along with them publicly. This misconception formed online creates a dangerous gap, fueling public distrust, preventing public participation, and lowering moral standards — if we think “everyone is awful,” we’re less likely to be kind. While there is no silver bullet, practical steps — rooted in policy and personal awareness — can narrow the gap. The key lies in recognizing online engagement doesn’t equal approval: skip “most engaging” feeds and ground our views in actual world connections. Imagine a public square where the loudest few don’t seize the microphone — disagreement remains, but the air resounds with daily life: neighbors helping start cars, strangers holding doors. Online, we can make that reality visible again. 8. What does the underlined word “dissonance” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Disorder. B. Prejudice. C. Contrast. D. Debate. 9. What does the “majority illusion” refer to in the text? A. A false impression. B. A harmful behavior. C. An overestimated post. D. A minority of commenters. 10. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Why global web traffic misleads people. B. Why the minority feels like the majority. C. How we identify online harmful content. D. What harm online misconception causes. 11. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Acting like the loudest few. B. Improving moral standards. C. Avoiding online engagement. D. Valuing real-life interactions. D Chinese scientists have developed a new refrigeration method that solves a long-standing challenge in cooling technology. Published in Nature, the study responds to rising energy demands in applications ranging from food preservation to data center cooling. Traditional vapor-compression systems consume vast amounts of electricity and rely on harmful refrigerants. In China, refrigeration accounts for nearly 20% of the nation’s electricity use and 7.8% of its carbon emissions (碳排放). While solid-state cooling avoids harmful gases, it suffers from poor heat transfer, limiting its real-world application. Led by Professor Li Bing from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the research team overcame this by combining solid cooling effects with liquid flow. They used a common, non-toxic salt whose dissolution (溶解) in water absorbs large amounts of heat. Conversely, applying pressure causes the salt to come out and release heat. Cycling this pressure achieves continuous cooling. “Unlike traditional solid methods, where heat moves slowly, our system integrates the refrigerant and heat-transfer medium into a single liquid,” Li said. “This solves the ‘impossible triangle’ — achieving low pollution, strong cooling, and fast heat transfer all at once.” Lab tests showed a temperature drop of nearly 30°C in just 20 seconds at room temperature, and up to 54°C at higher temperatures — significantly outperforming existing solid coolers. A prototype cycle achieved a cooling capacity of 67 joules per gram with nearly 77% efficiency. The system also proved stable, reversible, and instantly responsive to pressure changes. “This technology moves beyond traditional refrigeration principles,” Li added. “By turning the coolant into a fluid, it opens the door to high-performance, zero-emission cooling for homes and industry.” He noted the method’s strong high-temperature performance makes it an ideal candidate for heat management in next-generation AI computing facilities. While engineering challenges remain, especially in achieving rapidly switchable pressure cycles, the principle could be adapted to other materials for diverse cooling needs. 12. What is the main problem with traditional solid-state cooling systems? A. They transfer heat poorly. B. They produce harmful gases. C. They fail at high temperature. D. They use too much electricity. 13. What is the key innovation of the new cooling method? A. Using salt instead of chemical refrigerants. B. Increasing pressure inside traditional systems. C. Replacing pressure cycles with continuous flow. D. Combining solid cooling with liquid heat transfer. 14. Why does the author mention the “impossible triangle” in the text? A. To highlight the value of the new system. B. To illustrate the design of the new system. C. To explain why old systems are still in use. D. To show the limitations of previous systems. 15. What does Li Bing see as a promising application of the new technology? A. Preserving food in supply chains. B. Replacing traditional home refrigerators. C. Cooling future AI data centers. D.

I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others. “Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” She added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project. The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen. “Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea?” I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said. Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh. Her words sank in. At that moment, an idea formed in my mind. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.” “Oh? I’ll try not to forget that,” she laughed. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
