B A recent technology discussion followed a quieter but important story: how battery makers are trying to make electric cars cheaper without making them less useful. The article did not depend on flying cars or science-fiction machines. It focused on a stubborn question in daily life: why can a phone become cheaper quickly, while a good electric car still costs so much? One answer lies inside the battery. Some batteries use metals such as nickel（镍）and cobalt（钴）. They can store a lot of energy, but the materials are expensive and sometimes difficult to obtain responsibly. Another kind, called LFP, uses lithium iron phosphate（磷酸铁锂）. It is usually cheaper and safer, though it may store less energy by weight. That does not mean it is worse. For many drivers who mostly travel in cities, a lower-cost battery with enough range may be more useful than an expensive one built for rare long trips. Engineers are also changing the way cars are built. Instead of adding a heavy battery like a separate box, some designs make the battery part of the car’s structure（结构）. This may save space and reduce parts. But every simple-looking improvement brings new questions. Can repair shops fix such cars easily? Will recycling become harder? If a battery is cheap because one country controls most of the supply chain（供应链）, is the car truly secure for the future? The best part of this kind of science news is that it asks readers to think in layers. A cheaper electric car sounds like an easy victory for families and the environment. Yet price, safety, range, repair, recycling and global trade all pull on the same rope. Real progress may come not from one miracle battery, but from many small choices that finally make cleaner travel ordinary. 19. What question does the passage mainly discuss? A. Why phones disappear from daily life. B. How electric cars can become cheaper and still useful. C. Why all batteries must use cobalt. D. How to build a flying car at home. 20. What is TRUE about LFP batteries according to the passage? A. They are usually cheaper and may be safer. B. They always store more energy than all other batteries. C. They use no lithium at all. D. They are useful only for space travel. 21. Why does the writer ask questions about repair and recycling? A. To show cheaper cars have no advantages. B. To prove engineers cannot solve problems. C. To remind readers that progress also brings new responsibilities. D. To suggest that all electric cars should be banned. 22. Which is the best title for the passage? A. One Miracle Battery Will Fix Everything B. The Hidden Choices Behind Cheaper Electric Cars C. Why City Drivers Hate New Technology D. A Story of Nickel and Cobalt Mines C Scene What attracts visitors What careful readers ask Service robot Visible convenience Who maintains it? Driverless car Future-like travel How does it handle messy roads? Online video Strong emotional impact What is not shown? When the Middle Eastern influencer AboFlah visited Shenzhen, many short videos focused on his surprise. He saw service robots, driverless cars and fast delivery systems that made the city look like a scene from the near future. For viewers outside China, the most powerful moment was not a technical explanation. It was the expression on his face: surprise first, then curiosity, then the wish to show the scene to millions of followers. That reaction is easy to understand. Technology becomes persuasive when it leaves the exhibition hall and enters a street, a port, a restaurant or a hotel lobby. A robot that only waves on a stage may be interesting for a minute. A robot that carries food through a busy space, avoids people, and returns to work without drama feels different. A driverless car also changes the question. People stop asking, “Can it move?” and begin to ask, “Can it understand a messy city?” Still, amazement is not the same as understanding. A short video may show the smoothest part of an experience, not the waiting time, the safety rules, the cost of maintenance（维护）, or the workers who keep the system running. A visitor may be shocked by the surface, while an engineer notices the hidden work behind it. A city does not become advanced simply by buying machines. It needs roads, data rules, emergency plans, trained workers and public trust. The Shenzhen story is therefore more useful if we read it as both pride and homework. It shows that Chinese cities can turn new technology into visible public experiences. It also reminds us that the future is not only something to display to guests. It must be tested by ordinary days: rainy mornings, tired passengers, children crossing roads, elderly people asking for help, and machines that must know when to slow down. A good city of the future should not make people feel small. It should make difficult things easier without taking away human judgment. If AboFlah’s surprise helps more people ask careful questions about technology, then the video has done more than collect views. 23. Why was AboFlah’s reaction powerful for viewers? A. It showed a human response to visible technology. B. It proved all cities outside China are old-fashioned. C. It explained every technical detail clearly. D. It was longer than a scientific report. 24. What does the writer mean by “amazement is not the same as understanding”? A. People should never feel excited about technology. B. Short videos may hide costs, rules and human work behind the scene. C. Robots are useful only in exhibition halls. D. Visitors cannot understand any foreign city. 25. According to the passage, what does a future city need besides machines? A. Only more online followers. B. Fewer safety rules. C. Public trust, trained workers and emergency plans. D. Streets without elderly people or children. 26. What is the writer’s main purpose? A. To laugh at a foreign visitor’s surprise. B. To advertise Shenzhen hotels. C. To turn a viral moment into a careful discussion of urban technology. D. To show that views online are more important than safety. D The man on the bench came every Tuesday, always with the same brown paper bag and always after the rain had stopped. I noticed him because he did not seem to wait for anyone. Waiting usually has a shape: people check phones, turn their heads, or sit forward as if the future might arrive by bus. This man sat back, placed one hand on the bag, and looked at the wet trees as if he had promised them his attention. At first I invented simple stories for him. Perhaps he had retired from the post office. Perhaps the bag held lunch. Perhaps he came because the park was warmer than his room. These explanations were neat, and that was why they were probably false. Human lives rarely fit the small boxes strangers make for them. One afternoon, a child dropped a red ball near his shoes. The man picked it up slowly, not because he was weak, but because he seemed unwilling to hurry anything back into the world. When the child ran over, the man smiled and said, “It bounced better before the rain.” The child laughed. The mother said thank you. The moment passed, but it left behind a small ache, the kind that appears when kindness has no place to go except memory. Weeks later I learned from a gardener that the man’s wife had loved that bench. She had died in winter, before the trees learned to look alive again. Every Tuesday he brought two sandwiches, ate one, and carried the other home. The gardener told me this without lowering his voice too much. Grief, he seemed to know, is not always a secret. Sometimes it is simply a fact that walks beside a person, visible to anyone patient enough not to look away. After that, I stopped inventing stories. The bench became less like a mystery and more like a sentence I was not allowed to finish. The man still came. The bag still rested under his hand. The trees kept receiving his attention. Nothing was solved. Yet the park felt changed, because I understood that some acts are not meant to repair loss. They are meant to keep faith with what loss has not taken. At the end of spring, the man missed two Tuesdays. On the third, the bench was empty again, but someone had left a brown paper bag there. It was folded carefully, held down by a stone, and dry under the wide leaves. I did not open it. I sat on the other end of the bench for a while and listened to the wet trees. For once, I did not need the story to become clearer. Its silence was already saying enough. 27. Why does the writer say “Waiting usually has a shape”? A. To show the man’s stillness is unusual and meaningful. B. To explain how buses arrive on time. C. To prove everyone in the park was impatient. D. To describe the shape of the bench. 28. What does the red ball scene mainly do? A. It proves the man dislikes children. B. It gives a quiet example of his gentle attention. C. It explains why the park was closed. D. It changes the story into a comic scene. 29. What does the second sandwich most likely symbolize? A. The man’s forgetfulness. B. A secret meal for the gardener. C. A faithful habit connected with love and loss. D. A wasteful choice after retirement. 30. Which sentence best expresses the idea of the passage? A. Loss can be solved if people talk more. B. Public parks are better after rain. C. Some acts do not repair grief, but keep a bond alive. D. Strangers should always open paper bags. 第二节 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面材料，从方框中所给的A—E五个选项中选出正确选项（其中一项多余），填入31—34题，并回答第35题。 A. Patience helps you see what speed hides. B. Observation is more than simply looking. C. Writing things down makes small details useful later. D. Respect matters because nature is not a toy. E. The best way to study nature is to take animals home. In many stories, the most exciting discoveries begin with a person who learns to observe carefully. 31. ______ A young explorer may notice the shape of a bird’s wing, the sound of water under ice, or the direction of ants on a tree. These details look small, but they can lead to bigger questions. Good observation also needs patience. 32. ______ If you run through a forest only looking for a famous animal, you may miss the quiet signs of life around you: broken leaves, fresh footprints, or the smell after rain. A field notebook can help. 33. ______ You do not have to draw perfectly. A few words, a rough map and the time of day can be enough. Later, these notes help you compare what changed. Finally, nature writing should show respect. 34. ______ Do not pick rare plants just to take them home, and do not scare animals for a photo. The best explorer is not the one who touches everything, but the one who leaves carefully. 35. What should a good explorer do?（不超过15词） ________________________________________________________________________________ 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节 完形填空（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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 The first time I met the night librarian, he was repairing a torn page with a brush so thin it looked like a single hair. The library was almost empty. Rain tapped the windows, and the lights made small circles on the tables. I had come in only to escape the weather, but the old man looked up and asked if I had ever 36. ______ a book breathe. I thought he was joking. He pointed to the page in front of him. “A book breathes when somebody slows down enough to 37. ______ it,” he said. “Most people only pull information out and run away.” I did not know what to answer, so I sat near the desk and watched him work. His hands were slow, but they were not weak. They moved with the 38. ______ of someone who understood that broken things should not be punished for breaking. The book was a travel diary written by a teacher many years ago. Its cover was plain, and the first pages described ordinary breakfasts, late trains and cold rooms. I would have 39. ______ it after one page, but the librarian kept reading small sentences aloud. In the middle of the diary, the teacher wrote about a student who walked two hours to school each day and still shared his lunch with a friend. The librarian stopped there. “This,” he said, “is why we save the dull pages too. They carry the road to the bright one.” Over the next month, I returned often. Sometimes we repaired books; sometimes we simply sorted them. I learned that care is rarely dramatic. It is glue drying under a weight, a label written clearly, a chair pushed back for the next reader. The librarian never spoke of kindness as a 40. ______. He treated it as maintenance（维护）: something repeated so that a place could continue to hold people. One evening, I asked why he worked so late. He said his son used to read at the corner table after school. The son had moved away years before, and phone calls had become shorter. The library, I understood, was not only his workplace. It was a room where waiting had learned to behave. He did not say this sadly. He said it the way people name the weather: not to complain, but to be 41. ______. When the old librarian fell ill, volunteers came to help. We expected him to leave instructions about keys and shelves. Instead, he asked us to read the last page of the travel diary. It said, “A life may not become easier, but it becomes less lonely when someone records the path.” No one spoke for a moment. Outside, the rain had stopped, but the windows still held its 42. ______. I now understand the question he asked me on the first night. A book breathes when it is not treated as dead paper. A person breathes in the same way, when someone gives enough attention to notice the 43. ______ between a fact and a feeling. The night librarian did not save every book. He did something harder: he taught us that saving is not always about keeping things unchanged. Sometimes it means helping them continue in another 44. ______. After he left, I found a note inside the repaired diary: “Do not hurry the quiet parts.” I keep that sentence in my notebook. It reminds me that many things worth understanding begin by looking 45. ______ unimportant. If we rush past them, we may still arrive somewhere, but we will not know what kind of road carried us there. The habit changed the way I studied. When a task seemed boring, I tried to find its 46. ______ first. When a classmate spoke slowly, I waited instead of finishing the sentence for him. I did not become kinder all at once; I simply became more 47. ______ of how often I had hurried past people. The library taught me that attention is a form of 48. ______. It cannot promise happiness, but it can keep loneliness from becoming completely 49. ______. Perhaps that is why the quietest rooms sometimes give us the strongest 50. ______ to continue. 36.

It can also notice danger, like wet floors or smoke in the kitchen, and give a warning in time. I think future robots should not only look cool. They should be safe, useful and kind. If robots can help people care for each other better, our future life will be warmer. 四、听力材料 1. W: Were you fixing your bike when the rainstorm started? M: No. I was reading in a shop near the bus stop. 2. M: I borrowed Jack’s notebook and lost it. Should I wait for a week? W: No, Sam. You should say sorry face to face first. 3. M: Judy, have you been to the tea museum? W: No, but I visited a space museum last Sunday. 4. W: How long have you had the toy bear, Tony? M: Since I was six. I’m fourteen now. 5. M: Let’s volunteer this weekend. How about planting trees? W: Good idea, but the hospital needs students to tell stories to sick children. M: OK, let’s go there. 6-7. W: Mark, you look tired. Did you help at the animal hospital again? M: No. I studied until midnight. W: You should sleep earlier tonight. M: You’re right. I will finish the most important work first and go to bed before ten. 8-10. M: Are you selling these old magazines? W: Yes. I want to raise money for our class reading project. M: But some of them look special. W: I know, so I will write a clear note about their condition and price. M: That is better than just putting them in a box. 11-15. Our history teacher once asked me to record stories from old people in the community. I thought the project would be exciting, but the first interview almost made me give up. Mrs. Gao talked about ordinary things: cooking noodles, waiting for buses, cleaning the stairs. I could not find a clear story. Near the end, she opened a small box and showed me letters saved from a flood. One envelope was still wet at the corner, but the date was readable. It helped me understand that the earlier details were not useless. They were the path to the important memory. I learned that useful stories may hide behind plain beginnings, and listening needs patience. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
