【详解】句意:尽管这位歌手在两轮比赛后被淘汰了,但他的歌曲《成都》从那以后就流行起来了。A. held on坚持;B. caught on流行起来;C. come on快点;D. passed on传递。根据Though the singer was turned away after two rounds和转折连词though可知,此处表示虽然歌手本人被淘汰,但歌曲却流行了起来。

5. I have never heard of such a sport ________ participants who use the most time are awarded gold medals.
A. as B. which C. that D. where
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:我从未听说过这样一种运动,在其中用时最多的参与者被授予金牌。空格处引导定语从句,修饰先行词sport。关系词代替先行词sport在从句中作地点状语,用关系副词where引导。
6. —Who did you run into today in the subway?
—It was an old friend of my brother’s, whose name ________ me for the moment.
A. had escaped B. escaped C. escapes D. has escaped
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你今天在地铁里碰见谁了?——是我哥哥的一位老朋友,我一时想不起他的名字了。空格处是定语从句的谓语动词,根据上文的did和was可知,此处描述的是过去发生的事,应该用一般过去时。
7. —The research on the new bird flu virus vaccine is challenging and demanding. Who do you think can do the job?

9. ________ has recently been done to provide more buses for the people, a shortage of public vehicles remains a serious problem.
A. That B. What C. In spite of what D. Though what
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:尽管最近已经采取了一些措施来为人们提供更多的公交车,但公共交通工具的短缺仍然是一个严重的问题。分析句子结构可知,逗号前后没有连词,因此逗号前不能是一个完整的句子。前后文存在让步关系,用In spite of或Though,In spite of后面接what引导的宾语从句,what在从句中作主语。Though what不符合语法规则。
10. Doing your homework is a sure way to improve your test scores, and this is especially true ____ it comes to classroom tests.
A. before B. since
C. when D. after
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句式。句意: 做家庭作业是提高考试成绩的必由之路,尤其是在课堂测试中。when it comes to…是一固定句型,意为“当谈到……时,涉及”。故选C。
11. — What about inviting Tracy to host the party?
— Good idea! She is very quick in mind. Oh, here she comes.
A. don’t pull my leg B. a little bird told me
C. speak of the devil D. think out of the box

12. He said all the right words to comfort me, but his tone sounded________, and I couldn’t really believe him.
A. loyal B. faint C. tender D. artificial
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:他说尽了所有合适的话来安慰我,但他的语气听起来很虚伪,我无法真正相信他。A. loyal忠诚的;B. faint微弱的;C. tender温柔的;D. artificial虚伪的。根据题意,由句中的转折连词but和后半句“我无法真正相信他”可知,他的语气听起来是不真诚的、虚伪的。

A. nonetheless B. otherwise C. furthermore D. consequently
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:这项新政策远非完美,还招致了一些批评;尽管如此,它仍被普遍认为是朝着正确方向迈出的一步。A. nonetheless尽管如此,然而;B. otherwise否则,要不然;C. furthermore此外,而且;D. consequently因此,结果。前半句:政策不完美、遭批评(负面),后半句:被认可、方向正确(正面),前后是转折让步关系,nonetheless符合逻辑。

【解析】

15. ________ no convincing evidence presented, the judge had no choice but ________ the suspect of all charges.
A. There being; to clear B. There was; clearing
C. There was; to clear D. There being; clear
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:由于没有拿出任何确凿证据,法官别无选择,只能撤销对嫌疑人的所有指控。had作谓语动词,逗号前后无连词,“________ no convincing evidence presented”不能是一个独立的分句,因此第一空不能填There was,使用“There being ...”构成独立主格结构,表示“存在某种现存情况”,作“法官撤销对嫌疑人的所有指控”的原因状语,相当于“Because there was no convincing evidence presented”;“have no choice but to do sth.”为固定句型,意为“别无选择只能做某事”,第二空填动词不定式to clear。
第二节:完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)
阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从16~35各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

第二部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2.5分,满分50分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
The Maya (玛雅人) were good at math. They counted in groups of 20, not 10. They wrote numbers in columns going up. The bottom row was the “1s” column, the next row up was 20s, then 400s, and so on. For digits, they used a dot for 1, a line for 5, and a shell shape to show zero. Numbers 1 to 19 were written with a combination of lines and dots.
The Maya also kept three different calendars. The first divided the year into 18 months of 20 days each, plus a short month of 5 days. The short month was believed to be unlucky, a time when spirits walked.
The second calendar repeated every 260 days. This was used to plan celebrations and predict future. This calendar counted 13 months of 20 days each. Each date had its own set of 3 symbols (day, month, and year).
When talking about events long ago, they used a calendar called the “long count.” This covered about 5,125 years. Year 1 on this calendar was 3114 BCE on our calendar.
Each city and village had a calendar keeper, who was in charge of saying when to celebrate holidays and when to expect rain or plant crops. But farmers could probably also tell the time of the year from the sun and stars.
36. How many pumpkins did the Maya village harvest according to Figure 3?
A. 114. B. 409. C. 414. D. 439.
37. Why did the Maya regard the short month of 5 days as unlucky?
A. It was too short to plant crops.
B. People thought spirits appeared then.
C. It didn’t belong to any of their calendars.
D. It broke the rule of 20 days per month.
38. What could the “long count” calendar be used for?
A. Marking the unlucky days. B. Recording ancient events.
C. Dividing the year into 18 months. D. Predicting and making future plans.
39. Which learning project would this text be most suitable for?
A. Design a travel plan to the Maya ruins
B. Write a report on the Maya agriculture
C. Give a presentation on Maya artistic symbols
D. Make a poster of Maya scientific achievements
40. What can we infer about the calendar keeper?
A. He determined important time arrangements for the village.
B. He mainly taught farmers to observe the sun and stars.
C. He created three kinds of calendars for all Maya cities.
D. He could predict every natural disaster perfectly.
【答案】36. C 37. B 38. B 39. D 40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍玛雅人的数学计数法及三种历法的用途,并考查数字换算与历法功能的细节理解。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“The bottom row was the “1s” column, the next row up was 20s, then 400s, and so on. For digits, they used a dot for 1, a line for 5, and a shell shape to show zero. Numbers 1 to 19 were written with a combination of lines and dots.(最底下一行是个位,往上一行是20位,再往上是400位,依此类推。至于数字符号,他们用点表示1,用横线表示5,用贝壳形状表示0。1到19的数字便是由横线和点组合而成的)”以及图片中的内容可知,数字按从下到上的“1s、20s、400s”三列书写。最下方1s列:有2条线(每条代表5)和4个点(每个代表1),计算:2×5+4×1=14;中间20s列:是贝壳符号(代表0),即0×20=0;最上方400s列:有1个点(代表1),即1×400=400。将三列数值相加:400+0+14=414。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The short month was believed to be unlucky, a time when spirits walked.(短月被认为是不吉利的,那是灵魂游荡的时期)”可知,玛雅人认为这几天会有鬼魂出现。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“When talking about events long ago, they used a calendar called the “long count.”(谈论很久以前的事件时,他们会使用一种叫“长计历”的日历)”可知,长计历可用于记录古代事件。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,文章先后介绍玛雅数学进制、数字符号、三套历法,数学与历法都属于古代科学成果,适合制作玛雅科学成就海报。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Each city and village had a calendar keeper, who was in charge of saying when to celebrate holidays and when to expect rain or plant crops.(每个城市和村庄都有一位历法保管员,负责告知何时庆祝节日、何时期待降雨或种植庄稼)”可知,历法保管员决定了村庄的重要时间安排。
B
At dinnertime, if I’m anywhere near my favourite restaurant, there’s not a chance you can talk me into going somewhere else — I want to eat at China Fun. Actually, I have been eating at this restaurant for 17 years.
Don’t get me wrong, trying new things is great, and I love exploring. But the pressure to always keep trying new things ignores the satisfaction of finding our loves and keeping on loving them. That’s why I dislike pop-up restaurants. I’d much rather invest my time and money in a place that will still be here next month, working my way through the menu to find my favourite dishes, and figuring out which is the best table. In a chaotic world, being a regular makes me feel that there are always places where things stay the same.
In my mental map of the city, I mark all my favourites — cute bookshops, hidden gardens, and the hotdog stand that’s open only at weekends. To be a regular is to let a place become a character in your life. The act of returning builds connection, and a sense of being at home as you settle in and share a nod with the waiter before he asks if you’ll be having the usual.
Some things just get better the more you do them. While relaxing weekends offer the promise of finding country paths for a wander, I would prefer revisiting a beloved walking route as the seasons turn, noticing the subtle (微妙的) changes in the same place. I’ve walked along the Thames a hundred times, but the banks look different each time as the tides move to reveal or conceal (隐藏). It feels like spending time with a friend. The river is alive, and each time we meet, we grow closer.
I discovered a little local café recently. After several visits, Kirsty, the resident café cat, has finally started acknowledging my presence. The other repeat customers have also started nodding at me. They were here first and this is their café. Now they seem to be saying, “Have a seat, stay a while, and come back soon.”
41. What does the author’s restaurant preference show?
A. He is a creature of habit. B. He is strictly self - disciplined.
C. He loves exploring new things. D. He favours Asian cuisine most.
42. What does the underlined word “character” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Reward. B. Souvenir. C. Symbol. D. Companion.
43. How does the author find the walking route along the Thames?
A. Crowded but comforting. B. Familiar but refreshing. C. Winding but approachable. D. Exhausting but adventurous.
44. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The café only welcomes regular local visitors.
B. The author feels accepted as a regular in the café.
C. Kirsty the cat is unfriendly to new customers.
D. The café is too small to hold more people.
45. What message does this text mainly convey?
A. Satisfaction exists in the present. B. Shared experiences build bonds.
C. Possibilities hide in the unknown. D. Repeat visits deepen appreciation.
【答案】41. A 42. D 43. B 44. B 45. D
【解析】
【导语】作者通过餐厅、步行路线等日常经历,阐述反复探访熟悉之地能加深欣赏与情感连接的观点。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Actually, I have been eating at this restaurant for 17 years.(事实上,我已经在这家餐厅吃了17年了)”可知,作者长期光顾同一家餐厅,体现了他是个习惯型的人。
【42题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“To be a regular is to let a place become a character in your life.(成为熟客就是让一个地方成为你生活中的character)”及后文“The act of returning builds connection, and a sense of being at home as you settle in and share a nod with the waiter before he asks if you’ll be having the usual.(回头光顾能建立起一种联结,当你安顿下来,在服务员开口问你是否点老样子之前就对他点头致意时,便会生出一种在家的归属)”可知,常去的地方如同生活中的伙伴、陪伴者。画线词意为“伙伴、陪伴”。
【43题详解】

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. 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. While the principle could be adapted to other materials for diverse cooling needs.
46. 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.
47. 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.
48. 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.
49. 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.
50. What can we infer about the new refrigeration technology?
A. It has already been widely used in industry.
B. It balances cooling effect, efficiency and environmental friendliness.
C. It completely gets rid of the use of any liquid materials.
D. Its high efficiency means no further engineering research is needed.

Early fifth-century philosopher St. Augustine famously wrote that he knew what time was unless someone asked him. Albert Einstein added another wrinkle when he theorized that time varies depending on where you measure it. Today’s state-of-the-art atomic (原子的) clocks have proven Einstein right. Even advanced physics can’t decisively tell us what time is, because the answer depends on the question you’re asking.
Forget about time as an absolute. What if, instead of considering time in terms of astronomy, we related time to ecology? What if we allowed environmental conditions to set the tempo (节奏) of human life? We’re increasingly aware of the fact that we can’t control Earth systems with engineering alone, and realizing that we need to moderate (调节) our actions if we hope to live in balance. What if our definition of time reflected that?
Recently, I conceptualized a new approach to timekeeping that’s connected to circumstances on our planet, conditions that might change as a result of global warming. We’re now building a clock at the Anchorage Museum that reflects the total flow of several major Alaskan rivers, which are sensitive to local and global environmental changes. We’ve programmed it to match an atomic clock if the waterways continue to flow at their present rate. If the rivers run faster in the future on average, the clock will get ahead of standard time. If they run slower, you’ll see the opposite effect.
The clock registers both short-term irregularities and long-term trends in river dynamics. It’s a sort of observatory that reveals how the rivers are behaving from their own temporal frame (时间框架), and allows us to witness those changes on our smartwatches or phones. Anyone who opts to go on Alaska Mean River Time will live in in harmony with the planet. Anyone who considers river time in relation to atomic time will encounter a major imbalance and may be motivated to counteract it by consuming less fuel or supporting greener policies.
Even if this method of timekeeping is novel in its particulars, early agricultural societies also connected time to natural phenomena. In pre-Classical Greece, for instance, people “corrected” official calendars by shifting dates forward or backward to reflect the change of season. Temporal connection to the environment was vital to their survival. Likewise, river time and other timekeeping systems we’re developing may encourage environmental awareness.
When St. Augustine admitted his inability to define time, he highlighted one of time’s most noticeable qualities: Time becomes meaningful only in a defined context. Any timekeeping system is valid, and each is as praiseworthy as its purpose.
51. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A. Timekeeping is increasingly related to nature.
B. Everyone can define time on their own terms.
C. The qualities of time vary with how you measure it.
D. Time is a major concern of philosophers and scientists.
52. The author raises three questions in Paragraph 2 mainly to ________.
A. present an assumption B. evaluate an argument C. highlight an experiment D. introduce an approach
53. What can we know about the new river clock?
A. It mainly records seasonal changes of rivers.
B. It runs faster when rivers flow more slowly.
C. It can show both instant and long-term river changes.
D. It has already been widely used in people’s daily life.
54. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Those who do not go on river time will live an imbalanced life.
B. New ways of measuring time can help to control Earth systems.
C. Atomic time will get ahead of river time if the rivers run slower.
D. Modern technology may help to shape the rivers’ temporal frame.
55. What is the author’s attitude towards the new river timekeeping system?
A. Doubtful. B. Favourable. C. Uncaring. D. Cautious.

When I slowly opened the front door, my sister ran after our brother, screaming for her doll back. “I have five siblings(brothers and sisters),” I said to my new neighbor, Michelle, a girl of my age. I led her to my bedroom. It was not big but I had to share it with my two sisters. When it was time for dinner, Michelle went back to her house with reluctance (不情愿).
She called me the next day, and I happily accepted her invitation to go to her house. Soon, I was standing at her front door, ringing the bell. A woman answered. “Hello,” she said. “Michelle is upstairs.” I thought that she couldn’t be her mother.
Michelle’s bedroom was more like a princess’s, complete with a king-size bed and a lot of toys I had never seen. How I wished I had such a room of my own! When I asked her about the woman downstairs, Michelle explained to me that she was her nanny (保姆), Marion. Then we played together and had a wonderful time.
I went over to Michelle’s almost every day that summer. I loved being in her clean room. There were no chores, no siblings annoying us, and no parents constantly nagging (唠叨) us. But Michelle told me that her own parents were rarely at home, and her nanny rarely talked to her.
One day, we spent all afternoon playing a video game and forgot the time. My mom called and asked me to have dinner. I looked over at Michelle, rolling my eyes as I begged my mom to let me miss dinner. But that was not a battle I was going to win.
“Fine, Mom, I’ll be home in five minutes,” I said. Suddenly, an idea popped into my mind.
“Wait, Mom!” I said. “Can Michelle have dinner with us tonight?”
There was no extra chair, so we had to share one chair. But Michelle didn’t mind. Her eyes shined as she looked around at our table, talking excitedly with my sisters. When our meal was finished, she turned to me and whispered, “You’re so lucky to have such a big family.”
I looked over at my siblings; they were jumping up and down. My parents were making coffee. Suddenly, my house—my crowded, messy, loud house—seemed like a paradise.
56. Why did Michelle call the author the next day? (no more than 8 words)
___________________________________________________________________________
57. How did the author feel after going into Michelle’s bedroom? (no more than 5 words)

As a Senior Three student, these two pictures deeply resonate with me.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
As a Senior Three student, these two pictures deeply resonate with me. In the first picture, an archer has shot several arrows but failed to hit the center of the target, with a question “Failure?” above. He still holds his bow, seemingly ready to try again. In the second picture, however, the archer has thrown away his bow and arrows, bowing his head in frustration, with the definite word “Failure!” next to him.
The two pictures vividly show two completely different attitudes towards failure. The person in the first picture views failure as a temporary setback, while the one in the second picture sees it as the final result. As far as I am concerned, failure is an unavoidable part of our life, especially for senior three students like us who are faced with the college entrance examination. We may encounter setbacks in mock exams or daily reviews, but if we can treat failure as a chance to find our shortcomings and make improvements, we will make continuous progress. On the contrary, if we lose heart and give up trying the moment we meet failure, we will never achieve our goals. In a word, whether failure can lead us to success depends on the attitude we hold towards it.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
The Maya (玛雅人) were good at math. They counted in groups of 20, not 10. They wrote numbers in columns going up. The bottom row was the “1s” column, the next row up was 20s, then 400s, and so on. For digits, they used a dot for 1, a line for 5, and a shell shape to show zero. Numbers 1 to 19 were written with a combination of lines and dots.
The Maya also kept three different calendars. The first divided the year into 18 months of 20 days each, plus a short month of 5 days. The short month was believed to be unlucky, a time when spirits walked.
The second calendar repeated every 260 days. This was used to plan celebrations and predict future. This calendar counted 13 months of 20 days each. Each date had its own set of 3 symbols (day, month, and year).
When talking about events long ago, they used a calendar called the “long count.” This covered about 5,125 years. Year 1 on this calendar was 3114 BCE on our calendar.
Each city and village had a calendar keeper, who was in charge of saying when to celebrate holidays and when to expect rain or plant crops. But farmers could probably also tell the time of the year from the sun and stars.
36. How many pumpkins did the Maya village harvest according to Figure 3?
A. 114. B. 409. C. 414. D. 439.
37. Why did the Maya regard the short month of 5 days as unlucky?
A. It was too short to plant crops.
B. People thought spirits appeared then.
C. It didn’t belong to any of their calendars.
D. It broke the rule of 20 days per month.
38. What could the “long count” calendar be used for?
A. Marking the unlucky days. B. Recording ancient events.
C. Dividing the year into 18 months. D. Predicting and making future plans.
39. Which learning project would this text be most suitable for?
A. Design a travel plan to the Maya ruins
B. Write a report on the Maya agriculture
C. Give a presentation on Maya artistic symbols

At dinnertime, if I’m anywhere near my favourite restaurant, there’s not a chance you can talk me into going somewhere else — I want to eat at China Fun. Actually, I have been eating at this restaurant for 17 years.
Don’t get me wrong, trying new things is great, and I love exploring. But the pressure to always keep trying new things ignores the satisfaction of finding our loves and keeping on loving them. That’s why I dislike pop-up restaurants. I’d much rather invest my time and money in a place that will still be here next month, working my way through the menu to find my favourite dishes, and figuring out which is the best table. In a chaotic world, being a regular makes me feel that there are always places where things stay the same.
In my mental map of the city, I mark all my favourites — cute bookshops, hidden gardens, and the hotdog stand that’s open only at weekends. To be a regular is to let a place become a character in your life. The act of returning builds connection, and a sense of being at home as you settle in and share a nod with the waiter before he asks if you’ll be having the usual.
Some things just get better the more you do them. While relaxing weekends offer the promise of finding country paths for a wander, I would prefer revisiting a beloved walking route as the seasons turn, noticing the subtle (微妙的) changes in the same place. I’ve walked along the Thames a hundred times, but the banks look different each time as the tides move to reveal or conceal (隐藏). It feels like spending time with a friend. The river is alive, and each time we meet, we grow closer.
I discovered a little local café recently. After several visits, Kirsty, the resident café cat, has finally started acknowledging my presence. The other repeat customers have also started nodding at me. They were here first and this is their café. Now they seem to be saying, “Have a seat, stay a while, and come back soon.”

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. 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. While the principle could be adapted to other materials for diverse cooling needs.
46. 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.
47. 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.
48. 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.
49. 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.
50. What can we infer about the new refrigeration technology?
A. It has already been widely used in industry.
B. It balances cooling effect, efficiency and environmental friendliness.
C. It completely gets rid of the use of any liquid materials.
D. Its high efficiency means no further engineering research is needed.
D
Early fifth-century philosopher St. Augustine famously wrote that he knew what time was unless someone asked him. Albert Einstein added another wrinkle when he theorized that time varies depending on where you measure it. Today’s state-of-the-art atomic (原子的) clocks have proven Einstein right. Even advanced physics can’t decisively tell us what time is, because the answer depends on the question you’re asking.
Forget about time as an absolute. What if, instead of considering time in terms of astronomy, we related time to ecology? What if we allowed environmental conditions to set the tempo (节奏) of human life? We’re increasingly aware of the fact that we can’t control Earth systems with engineering alone, and realizing that we need to moderate (调节) our actions if we hope to live in balance. What if our definition of time reflected that?
Recently, I conceptualized a new approach to timekeeping that’s connected to circumstances on our planet, conditions that might change as a result of global warming. We’re now building a clock at the Anchorage Museum that reflects the total flow of several major Alaskan rivers, which are sensitive to local and global environmental changes. We’ve programmed it to match an atomic clock if the waterways continue to flow at their present rate. If the rivers run faster in the future on average, the clock will get ahead of standard time. If they run slower, you’ll see the opposite effect.
The clock registers both short-term irregularities and long-term trends in river dynamics. It’s a sort of observatory that reveals how the rivers are behaving from their own temporal frame (时间框架), and allows us to witness those changes on our smartwatches or phones. Anyone who opts to go on Alaska Mean River Time will live in in harmony with the planet. Anyone who considers river time in relation to atomic time will encounter a major imbalance and may be motivated to counteract it by consuming less fuel or supporting greener policies.
Even if this method of timekeeping is novel in its particulars, early agricultural societies also connected time to natural phenomena. In pre-Classical Greece, for instance, people “corrected” official calendars by shifting dates forward or backward to reflect the change of season. Temporal connection to the environment was vital to their survival. Likewise, river time and other timekeeping systems we’re developing may encourage environmental awareness.
When St. Augustine admitted his inability to define time, he highlighted one of time’s most noticeable qualities: Time becomes meaningful only in a defined context. Any timekeeping system is valid, and each is as praiseworthy as its purpose.
51. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A. Timekeeping is increasingly related to nature.
B. Everyone can define time on their own terms.
C. The qualities of time vary with how you measure it.
D. Time is a major concern of philosophers and scientists.
52. The author raises three questions in Paragraph 2 mainly to ________.
A. present an assumption B. evaluate an argument C. highlight an experiment D. introduce an approach
53. What can we know about the new river clock?
A. It mainly records seasonal changes of rivers.
B. It runs faster when rivers flow more slowly.
C. It can show both instant and long-term river changes.
D. It has already been widely used in people’s daily life.
54. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Those who do not go on river time will live an imbalanced life.
B. New ways of measuring time can help to control Earth systems.
C. Atomic time will get ahead of river time if the rivers run slower.
D. Modern technology may help to shape the rivers’ temporal frame.
55. What is the author’s attitude towards the new river timekeeping system?
A. Doubtful. B. Favourable. C. Uncaring. D. Cautious.

When I slowly opened the front door, my sister ran after our brother, screaming for her doll back. “I have five siblings(brothers and sisters),” I said to my new neighbor, Michelle, a girl of my age. I led her to my bedroom. It was not big but I had to share it with my two sisters. When it was time for dinner, Michelle went back to her house with reluctance (不情愿).
She called me the next day, and I happily accepted her invitation to go to her house. Soon, I was standing at her front door, ringing the bell. A woman answered. “Hello,” she said. “Michelle is upstairs.” I thought that she couldn’t be her mother.
Michelle’s bedroom was more like a princess’s, complete with a king-size bed and a lot of toys I had never seen. How I wished I had such a room of my own! When I asked her about the woman downstairs, Michelle explained to me that she was her nanny (保姆), Marion. Then we played together and had a wonderful time.
I went over to Michelle’s almost every day that summer. I loved being in her clean room. There were no chores, no siblings annoying us, and no parents constantly nagging (唠叨) us. But Michelle told me that her own parents were rarely at home, and her nanny rarely talked to her.
One day, we spent all afternoon playing a video game and forgot the time. My mom called and asked me to have dinner. I looked over at Michelle, rolling my eyes as I begged my mom to let me miss dinner. But that was not a battle I was going to win.
“Fine, Mom, I’ll be home in five minutes,” I said. Suddenly, an idea popped into my mind.
“Wait, Mom!” I said. “Can Michelle have dinner with us tonight?”
There was no extra chair, so we had to share one chair. But Michelle didn’t mind. Her eyes shined as she looked around at our table, talking excitedly with my sisters. When our meal was finished, she turned to me and whispered, “You’re so lucky to have such a big family.”
I looked over at my siblings; they were jumping up and down. My parents were making coffee. Suddenly, my house—my crowded, messy, loud house—seemed like a paradise.
