REVIEWS
(by Mayis) Hamilton at last!
I’ve been wanting to take my daughter to see Hamilton since the original cast was touring. We’ve already seen it on Disney+, but we still look forward to seeing it in the theater. It was so worth the wait!! The music was great and vocals were amazing! We laughed, I cried, and we were so excited to be in the moment!! We hope we can see Hamilton at least one more time!
(by Scotty) Good but room for improvement.
I find it hard to understand the words, like the microphones and sound weren’t clear enough. I thought the Burr characters vocals were not strong enough and his big moments didn’t land with the audience. Really loved the Hamilton and Eliza actors, both nailed it.
1. When is more suitable for a musical lover in Arizona to enjoy the show?
A. June 24. B. July 25.
C. July 30. D. July 31.

All alone, the small brown coin lay on the windowsill. Occasionally, a spider or a fly came by; he wore spider webs, and a light layer of dust. The morning sun warmed him, then moved away. He had been placed there “in case”, and so he waited.
No one needed him for much of anything, these days. Policymakers kept remarking, woundingly, that it cost more to make each penny (in 2024, 3.69 cents) than it was worth. That was why, they explained, they would be ending production in 2026.
For some time now, people had soured on him. When he was handed over in change, shoppers waved him away with “Keep the penny”. Increasingly, they simply waved a card and ignored him. He had spent longer and longer simply lying around.
In economic terms, however, he liked to think he was still important, encouraging careful budgeting. The price was calculated down to the smallest detail (namely, him). When a product was priced at $19.99, rather than $20, people were more willing to buy it, boosting the economy.
Then there was the matter of charity. Where would all those boxes be, without the likes of him? In several cities cents were harvested for good causes; school children collected them in cloth bags. Thousands of dollars were raised that way, little by little.
Such arguments, however, plainly did not persuade policymakers. What, then, was his future, and that of any other penny? As an accessory, perhaps. After all, pennies were lucky. A good-looking cent, as cents went, he could become a button. Glued to a leg, he could stop a chair from wobbling (摇晃). There were worse fates, such as being thrown in a fountain.
None of this was what he had been made for. And so, with humility (谦卑), he accepted his new purpose in national life. Perhaps, some day, he would hear his owner say: “Glad I kept that penny.” In the far future he might become rare and valuable. This was his chief comfort that some people, at least, would still appreciate that face value and true worth are not at all the same thing.
8. Which paragraph presents an argument against policymakers’ decision?
A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4.
9. Why is charity mentioned in Paragraph 5?
A. To introduce new problems in charity work.
B. To raise concerns about wasting small coins.
C. To give further evidence of the penny’s value.
D. To make a contrast between giving and spending.
10. What would the penny imagine as its best possible future?
A. Becoming a collectible. B. Ending up in a fountain.
C. Being used as a decoration. D. Being remade into a new coin.
11. What is the overall tone of the text?
A. Very formal but a bit dry. B. Mildly humorous but a bit sad.
C. Seemingly calm but a bit distant. D. Highly romantic but a bit unreal.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一枚被放置在窗台上的便士硬币,面对即将被停止生产的命运,思考自身价值及未来可能用途的故事。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In economic terms, however, he liked to think he was still important, encouraging careful budgeting. The price was calculated down to the smallest detail (namely, him). When a product was priced at $19.99, rather than $20, people were more willing to buy it, boosting the economy.(然而,从经济角度来看,他喜欢认为自己仍然很重要,鼓励人们精打细算。价格计算到了最小的细节(即他)。当一件产品定价为19.99美元,而不是20美元时,人们更愿意购买它,从而促进经济发展)”可知,第四段提出了反对政策制定者决定的论点,即便士在促进经济发展方面仍有重要作用。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Then there was the matter of charity. Where would all those boxes be, without the likes of him? In several cities cents were harvested for good causes; school children collected them in cloth bags. Thousands of dollars were raised that way, little by little.(然后是慈善事业。如果没有像他这样的硬币,那些盒子会放在哪里呢?在几个城市里,人们为了慈善事业而收集便士;小学生们用布袋收集它们。就这样,一点一点地筹集了数千美元)”可知,提到慈善是为了进一步证明便士的价值,即便士在慈善事业中也能发挥重要作用。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“In the far future he might become rare and valuable. This was his chief comfort that some people, at least, would still appreciate that face value and true worth are not at all the same thing.(在遥远的未来,他可能会变得稀有而珍贵。这是他主要的安慰,至少有些人仍然会明白面值和真正的价值完全不是一回事)”可知,便士想象自己最好的未来是成为收藏品,变得稀有而珍贵。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,文章通过拟人化的手法,以一枚便士的视角讲述了其面临被停止生产的命运,思考自身价值及未来可能用途的故事,例如最后一段中“This was his chief comfort that some people, at least, would still appreciate that face value and true worth are not at all the same thing.(让他感到最大安慰的是,至少还有一些人会明白面值和真正的价值完全不是一回事)”整体语气略带幽默,但同时也流露出一种淡淡的忧伤,因为便士即将失去其原有的地位和作用。故选B。
D
Stanford assistant professor Ruike Zhao published a groundbreaking 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 strokes and heart attacks. During treatment, the ability to quickly and effectively restore blood flow 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 (血管) and, using high-speed rotation (旋转), generates forces to reduce the clot size to 5%. It’s like when you press and rub 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 components together, making them easier to remove. This process requires no drugs, causes no vessel damage, and effectively releases trapped red blood cells back into blood.
What’s astonishing is that this innovation is inspired from 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 miniaturized the enormous underground machine to a size tens of thousands of times smaller and adapted it for use in human blood vessels.
Currently, the technology has been successfully tested on pigs. While most of these studies remain in the laboratory phase, the breakthrough itself is exciting. This technology may soon extend beyond blood clots to address issues like kidney stones or gallstones.
12. How does the author present the breakthrough in paragraph 1?
A. By explaining a technical term. B. By contrasting the statistics.
C. By providing the study’s background. D. By citing an authority.
13. What is the advantage of Zhao’s micro-robot over traditional methods?
A. It generates blood more rapidly.
B. It prevents clots from forming again.
C. It is recyclable and economical.
D. It raises success rate and reduces side effects.
14. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning TBMs?
A. The cost of medical robotics. B. The reason behind the numerous trials.
C. The inspiration behind the innovation. D. The importance of modern machinery.
15. What is the last paragraph about?
A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. Necessity for tests on more animals. D. Potential application of the invention.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,讲述了斯坦福大学Ruike Zhao教授研发2毫米微型机器人,将血栓清除成功率从11%提升至90%,灵感来自盾构机技术,未来或可应用于肾结石等治疗。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Stanford assistant professor Ruike Zhao published a groundbreaking 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.(斯坦福大学助理教授赵瑞克在《自然》杂志上发表了一项具有开创性的医学突破成果:她利用一个仅有 2 毫米大小的微型机器人,将血块清除的成功率从原本的 11%大幅提升至令人惊叹的 90%,这一成果在医学界引起了巨大轰动。)”可知,文章第一段通过比较数据说明。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“However, Professor Zhao’s 2 mm micro-robot enters blood vessels (血管) and, using high-speed rotation (旋转), generates forces to reduce the clot size to 5%. It's like when you press and rub 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 components together, making them easier to remove. This process requires no drugs, causes no vessel damage, and effectively releases trapped red blood cells back into blood.(然而,赵教授研发的2毫米微型机器人能够进入血管内部,并通过高速旋转产生力量,将血块缩小至 5%。这就好比你用手掌相互按压并揉搓柔软的物体,比如头发,从而让它们粘连成一个小球。微型机器人的工作原理也是如此,它利用压力将血块成分挤压在一起,使其更容易被清除。这个过程无需药物,不会对血管造成损伤,并能有效地将被困住的红细胞重新释放回血液中。)”可知,赵教授的微型机器人相较于传统方法提高了成功率,并减少了副作用。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“What’s astonishing is that this innovation is inspired from 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.(令人惊讶的是,这一创新的灵感来源于地铁中的隧道掘进机。隧道掘进机能够在狭窄空间内高效地处理坚硬的土壤和岩石,这一特点激发了这一创新的诞生。)”可知,作者提及TBMs是为了说明这项创新背后的灵感来源。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Currently, the technology has been successfully tested on pigs. While most of these studies remain in the laboratory phase, the breakthrough itself is exciting. This technology may soon extend beyond blood clots to address issues like kidney stones or gallstones.(目前,该技术已在猪身上成功进行了测试。虽然这些研究大多仍处于实验室阶段,但这一突破本身令人振奋。这项技术或许很快就会从治疗血栓领域拓展到解决诸如肾结石或胆结石等问题。)”可知,最后一段讲到了这项发明的潜在应用。故选D。

A Brief History of the Development of Glasses
When you think about inventions that have fundamentally changed human existence, what comes to mind? Probably the wheel, the printing press, the refrigerator and personal computers. Then there are those more common things that we rarely think about, but without which we’d be much worse off. ____16____ Imagine a world without glasses — many of us would walk around knocking against things and drive our cars up onto the sidewalk. So who invented glasses, and how were they first made?
The truth is that nobody knows who invented eyeglasses. At some point in Italy, between 1268 and 1289 someone came up with the idea. ____17____ What we do know is that the earliest lenses (镜片) were made from quartz (石英) and were usually set into bone, metal, or leather. As soon as early glasses makers figured out how to make glass without bubbles and other barriers, they started making lenses out of glass.
____18____ However, there was one major problem: keeping them on the wearer’s face. Early glasses acted a bit like pinchers (钳子), squeezed onto the bridge of the nose. It took nearly 400 years before glasses manufacturers figured out that rigid sidepieces resting on top of the ears might do the trick.
____19____ He invented bifocals (双光眼镜) in the 1780s. Annoyed at having to constantly switch glasses whenever he wanted to read or take in the sights while traveling, Franklin had his reading glasses cut in half and joined with his distance glasses. ____20____
A. Glasses spread quickly throughout Europe and Asia.
B. No history of glasses would be complete without some mention of Benjamin Franklin.
C. But the actual inventor remains unknown.
D. The Romans first discovered the ability to use glass to help them see small text.
E. Now that’s American creativity for you.
F. The first visual aid was called a reading stone.
G. For example, eyeglasses.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. A 19. B 20. E
【解析】
【导语】文章简要介绍了眼镜这一重要发明的发展历史。
【16题详解】
上文“Then there are those more common things that we rarely think about, but without which we’d be much worse off. (还有那些我们很少想到的常见事物,但如果没有它们,我们的处境会糟糕得多。)”提到被人们忽视却极大影响生活的发明,下文“Imagine a world without glasses — many of us would walk around knocking against things and drive our cars up onto the sidewalk. (想象一下没有眼镜的世界——我们中的许多人会走路时撞到东西,还会把车开上人行道。)”直接引出眼镜,点明其重要性,因此G项“For example, eyeglasses. (比如,眼镜。)”符合语境,承接上文,并引出本文主题。
【17题详解】
上文“The truth is that nobody knows who invented eyeglasses. At some point in Italy, between 1268 and 1289 someone came up with the idea. (事实上,没人知道眼镜是谁发明的。大约在1268年至1289年之间,意大利某地有人提出了这个想法。)”指出眼镜的发明者不明,介绍最初对眼镜的构想,因此C项“But the actual inventor remains unknown. (但真正的发明者仍然不为人知。)”符合语境,和上一句构成转折,呼应本段开头的描述。
【18题详解】
上文“As soon as early glasses makers figured out how to make glass without bubbles and other barriers, they started making lenses out of glass. (一旦早期的玻璃制造商掌握了如何制造无气泡及其他缺陷的玻璃,他们就开始用玻璃制作镜片了。)”介绍早期眼镜镜片材质的发展,下文“However, there was one major problem: keeping them on the wearer’s face. (然而,有一个主要问题:如何将它们固定在佩戴者的脸部。)”含转折,指出眼镜存在佩戴不便的核心问题,因此A项“Glasses spread quickly throughout Europe and Asia. (眼镜很快传遍了欧亚大陆。)”符合语境,承接发展进程,引出下文的问题。
【19题详解】
下文“He invented bifocals (双光眼镜) in the 1780s. Annoyed at having to constantly switch glasses whenever he wanted to read or take in the sights while traveling, Franklin had his reading glasses cut in half and joined with his distance glasses. (他于18世纪80年代发明了双光眼镜。由于在阅读或旅行时需要不断更换眼镜,富兰克林感到十分烦恼,于是将他的阅读眼镜剪成两半,并与远视眼镜连接在一起。)”介绍本杰明·富兰克林发明双光眼镜的贡献,因此B项“No history of glasses would be complete without some mention of Benjamin Franklin. (如果不提到本杰明·富兰克林,眼镜的历史就不完整。)”符合语境,引出下文的人物。
【20题详解】
上文“Annoyed at having to constantly switch glasses whenever he wanted to read or take in the sights while traveling, Franklin had his reading glasses cut in half and joined with his distance glasses. (由于在阅读或旅行时需要不断更换眼镜,富兰克林感到十分烦恼,于是将他的阅读眼镜剪成两半,并与远视眼镜连接在一起。)”介绍富兰克林改造出双光眼镜的创新过程,因此E项“Now that’s American creativity for you. (这就是美国式的创造力。)”符合语境,对富兰克林的创新收尾。

【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了京剧传奇人物梅兰芳1930年赴美巡演,打破美国人对中国的偏见,推广中国文化,对京剧走向世界产生深远影响的事迹。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:历史上很少有哪个时刻,能比梅兰芳用京剧表演迷住美国观众的这六个月更拉近中美两国的距离。句子主语是Few moments,为复数概念,此处强调该事件对现在的影响,用现在完成时,谓语动词用复数形式。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:梅兰芳的美国之行,发生在许多美国人对中国抱有误解的时期。先行词是a time,在限制性定语从句中作时间状语,从句结构完整,因此用关系副词when引导定语从句。
【38题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:他此行强调的内容之一,是尊重中国人民和中国文化的必要性。介词of后接宾语从句,从句中emphasizing后缺少宾语,指代“强调的内容”,用连接代词what。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:他对人物塑造的方式也极具创新性,超越了前代的严格限制。前面“His approaches to character types were also innovative”提到梅兰芳的艺术创新,结合“the strict limitations”可知,此处表示“超越,超出”,move beyond符合语境。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这些方式对于让京剧成为对国际观众而言,一种易懂且有吸引力的艺术形式至关重要。此处泛指“一种艺术形式”,用不定冠词,accessible的发音以元音音素开头,因此用an。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:尽管存在语言障碍,他凭借高超的技艺,通过服饰、肢体动作和舞蹈就获得了国际认可。此处为固定结构“形容词+enough+to do sth”,表示“足够……做某事”,用不定式作结果状语。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:访问期间,他和西方的同时代名人结交了友谊,包括默片演员查理·卓别林。contemporary是可数名词,此处指多位同时代的人士,表示复数概念,用名词复数形式。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:通过接触这些有影响力的名人,梅兰芳提升了京剧在美国观众眼中的地位。此处修饰名词personalities,需要用形容词作定语,influence的形容词形式是influential,意为“有影响力的”。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:你可以从美国人写评论的方式中看到,他们对梅兰芳深感触动与尊重,也逐渐理解了文化交流的深刻意义。此处和形容词respectful并列作表语,修饰人,说明人的感受,应用以-ed结尾的形容词touched,意为“受感动的,触动的”。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:梅兰芳开创性的表演不仅将京剧介绍给国际观众,还树立了艺术标杆,至今仍持续激励着当代从业者。此处描述这个标杆现在仍然存在的影响,用一般现在时,关系代词that指代先行词a standard,是单数名词,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
第三节 语境填词 (共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下面句子,根据首字母或者中文提示写出一个单词。
46. As soon as the alarm rang at midnight, the brave firefighters s________ into action and rushed to the burning building. (根据首字母单词拼写)

47. He s________ on the wet floor and hurt his leg. (根据首字母单词拼写)
【答案】slipped##lipped
【解析】
【详解】句意:他在湿地板上滑了一跤,伤了腿。空处作谓语,结合“the wet floor”和首字母提示可推知,动词slip“滑倒”符合题意,且结合“hurt”可知,时态为一般过去时,因此用slip的过去式slipped。
48. She g________ closed the door so that she wouldn’t wake up the sleeping baby. (根据首字母单词拼写)
【答案】gently##ently
【解析】
【详解】句意:她轻轻地关上门,以免吵醒熟睡的婴儿。根据首字母“g”及句意“不吵醒婴儿”可知,关门的动作应是“轻轻地”,副词“gently(温柔地;轻轻地)”符合语境,在句中作状语修饰动词closed。
49. Although he had suffered a lot himself, he felt no s________ for those who made excuses instead of working hard. (根据首字母单词拼写)
【答案】sympathy##ympathy
【解析】
【详解】句意:尽管他自己也曾遭受过许多苦难,但他对那些找借口而不努力工作的人毫无同情之心。空处作felt的宾语,结合“he had suffered a lot himself”和首字母提示可推知,名词sympathy“同情”符合题意,短语feel no sympathy for意为“对……毫无同情之心”。

Last month, I had the privilege of participating in our school’s initiative, “My First Experience in Career.” It aimed to provide students like me with a glimpse into diverse professions.

The Wind Phone
Every morning Mario visited his neighbor, Mr. Harper. Together they sat at the edge of his garden on the hill, looking down at the port. They made a game of spotting Mario’s dad as he unloaded the morning catch, and Mr. Harper’s daughter, Fiona, as she cleaned the fish one after another. “I see them!” Mario would say. Mr. Harper would laugh. “You win again, Mario.” It was their favorite game.
Mario’s dad loved the ocean. He’d say, “Listen, Mario, the ocean’s saying good morning.” The lapping waves would whisper: O-mor-ning. O-mor-ning. Mario always returned the greeting, “Good morning, ocean.” But on the day the big wave came, the ocean didn’t whisper. It roared (咆哮). A big, watery hand swept into the port, grabbing everything — and everyone — in its grasp. Everyone lost someone that day. It took Mario’s dad, Fiona, and it even took Mario’s voice. Silence hung over the village like a dark, heavy cloud.
Spring came. Here and there stood peach-trees that broke into delicate flowers of pink. One day: Tap-tap-tap. Bang-bang-bang. Mario watched from his window. Mr. Harper was building something in his garden. But what? It was a phone booth (电话亭), painted white and with many panes (窗格) of glass. Mr. Harper went inside and his voice floated out. “Fiona? It’s your father. I miss you.” Mario was confused. Fiona had been grabbed by the ocean, just like Mario’s dad. When Mr. Harper left, Mario crept inside. An old-fashioned phone sat on a table. No plugs, no wires. It was a phone connected to nowhere.
Mr. Harper visited his phone booth every day. Soon other villagers did too. They lifted the receiver to their ears and their voices floated on the wind. “Hello, cousin. Today I fixed the boat. I’ll fish again soon.” “Sister, how’re you? I rode your bike today. It fits me now.”
For the first time since the big wave came, Mario wanted to use his voice. He went down to the port and screamed at the ocean. “Bring our people back!” Still, the waves lapped gently. O-mor-ning. O-mor-ning. Mario sighed and looked up.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。
Mr. Harper’s phone booth sat high on the hill like a lighthouse.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As Mario stepped out, he spotted Mr. Harper down at the port.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Mr. Harper’s phone booth sat high on the hill like a lighthouse. Its white paint glowed in the spring sun, a quiet call to Mario. He crept inside again, fingers brushing the old receiver. Lifting it to his ear, he choked out, “Dad? The peach trees are blooming. I miss hearing you greet the ocean.” His voice, rusty from disuse, trembled as tears blurred his eyes. For the first time since the wave, the silence in his chest felt lighter.
As Mario stepped out, he spotted Mr. Harper down at the port. The old man turned, a soft smile on his face. Mario walked over, throat tight but determined. “I... I talked to him,” he whispered. Mr. Harper nodded, patting his shoulder. “The wind carries our words to them. They hear us, Mario.” Mario looked at the ocean, where waves lapped gently. This time, he whispered back, “Good morning, Dad.” A small, shaky smile tugged at his lips.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述村庄遭遇海啸后,Mario失去父亲并失声,邻居Harper先生建起无连线电话亭,村民借此倾诉思念,Mario也渴望找回声音。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Harper先生的电话亭像灯塔一样高高坐落在山上。”可知,第一段可描写Mario被电话亭吸引,走进亭中拿起听筒,向父亲倾诉思念,压抑的情绪得到释放。
②由第二段首句内容“Mario走出来时,看到Harper先生在港口那边。”可知,第二段可描写Mario向Harper先生诉说自己的举动,得到对方的理解与安慰,最终Mario重新向大海问候,找回内心的平静。
2. 续写线索:被电话亭吸引——倾诉思念——情绪释放——遇见Harper先生——得到安慰——重拾问候

(by Mayis) Hamilton at last!
I’ve been wanting to take my daughter to see Hamilton since the original cast was touring. We’ve already seen it on Disney+, but we still look forward to seeing it in the theater.

(by Scotty) Good but room for improvement.
I find it hard to understand the words like the microphones and sound weren’t clear enough. I thought the Burr characters vocals were not strong enough and his big moments didn’t land with the audience. Really loved the Hamilton and Eliza actors, both nailed it.

All alone, the small brown coin lay on the windowsill. Occasionally, a spider or a fly came by; he wore spider webs, and a light layer of dust. The morning sun warmed him, then moved away. He had been placed there “in case”, and so he waited.
No one needed him for much of anything, these days. Policymakers kept remarking, woundingly, that it cost more to make each penny (in 2024, 3.69 cents) than it was worth. That was why, they explained, they would be ending production in 2026.
For some time now, people had soured on him. When he was handed over in change, shoppers waved him away with “Keep the penny”. Increasingly, they simply waved a card and ignored him. He had spent longer and longer simply lying around.
In economic terms, however, he liked to think he was still important, encouraging careful budgeting. The price was calculated down to the smallest detail (namely, him). When a product was priced at $19.99, rather than $20, people were more willing to buy it, boosting the economy.
Then there was the matter of charity. Where would all those boxes be, without the likes of him? In several cities cents were harvested for good causes; school children collected them in cloth bags. Thousands of dollars were raised that way, little by little.
Such arguments, however, plainly did not persuade policymakers. What, then, was his future, and that of any other penny? As an accessory, perhaps. After all, pennies were lucky. A good-looking cent, as cents went, he could become a button. Glued to a leg, he could stop a chair from wobbling (摇晃). There were worse fates, such as being thrown in a fountain.
None of this was what he had been made for. And so, with humility (谦卑), he accepted his new purpose in national life. Perhaps, some day, he would hear his owner say: “Glad I kept that penny.” In the far future he might become rare and valuable. This was his chief comfort that some people, at least, would still appreciate that face value and true worth are not at all the same thing.
8. Which paragraph presents an argument against policymakers’ decision?
A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4.
9. Why is charity mentioned in Paragraph 5?
A. To introduce new problems in charity work.
B. To raise concerns about wasting small coins.
C. To give further evidence of the penny’s value.
D. To make a contrast between giving and spending.
10. What would the penny imagine as its best possible future?
A. Becoming a collectible. B. Ending up in a fountain.
C. Being used as a decoration. D. Being remade into a new coin.
11. What is the overall tone of the text?
A. Very formal but a bit dry. B. Mildly humorous but a bit sad.
C. Seemingly calm but a bit distant. D. Highly romantic but a bit unreal.
D
Stanford assistant professor Ruike Zhao published a groundbreaking 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 strokes and heart attacks. During treatment, the ability to quickly and effectively restore blood flow 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 (血管) and, using high-speed rotation (旋转), generates forces to reduce the clot size to 5%. It’s like when you press and rub 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 components together, making them easier to remove. This process requires no drugs, causes no vessel damage, and effectively releases trapped red blood cells back into blood.
What’s astonishing is that this innovation is inspired from 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 miniaturized the enormous underground machine to a size tens of thousands of times smaller and adapted it for use in human blood vessels.
Currently, the technology has been successfully tested on pigs. While most of these studies remain in the laboratory phase, the breakthrough itself is exciting. This technology may soon extend beyond blood clots to address issues like kidney stones or gallstones.
12. How does the author present the breakthrough in paragraph 1?
A. By explaining a technical term. B. By contrasting the statistics.
C. By providing the study’s background. D. By citing an authority.
13. What is the advantage of Zhao’s micro-robot over traditional methods?
A. It generates blood more rapidly.
B. It prevents clots from forming again.
C. It is recyclable and economical.
D. It raises success rate and reduces side effects.
14. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning TBMs?
A. The cost of medical robotics. B. The reason behind the numerous trials.
C. The inspiration behind the innovation. D. The importance of modern machinery.
15. What is the last paragraph about?
A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. Necessity for tests on more animals. D. Potential application of the invention.

A Brief History of the Development of Glasses
When you think about inventions that have fundamentally changed human existence, what comes to mind? Probably the wheel, the printing press, the refrigerator and personal computers. Then there are those more common things that we rarely think about, but without which we’d be much worse off. ____16____ Imagine a world without glasses — many of us would walk around knocking against things and drive our cars up onto the sidewalk. So who invented glasses, and how were they first made?
The truth is that nobody knows who invented eyeglasses. At some point in Italy, between 1268 and 1289 someone came up with the idea. ____17____ What we do know is that the earliest lenses (镜片) were made from quartz (石英) and were usually set into bone, metal, or leather. As soon as early glasses makers figured out how to make glass without bubbles and other barriers, they started making lenses out of glass.
____18____ However, there was one major problem: keeping them on the wearer’s face. Early glasses acted a bit like pinchers (钳子), squeezed onto the bridge of the nose. It took nearly 400 years before glasses manufacturers figured out that rigid sidepieces resting on top of the ears might do the trick.
____19____ He invented bifocals (双光眼镜) in the 1780s. Annoyed at having to constantly switch glasses whenever he wanted to read or take in the sights while traveling, Franklin had his reading glasses cut in half and joined with his distance glasses. ____20____
A. Glasses spread quickly throughout Europe and Asia.
B. No history of glasses would be complete without some mention of Benjamin Franklin.
C. But the actual inventor remains unknown.
D. The Romans first discovered the ability to use glass to help them see small text.
E. Now that’s American creativity for you.
F. The first visual aid was called a reading stone.
G. For example, eyeglasses.

The Wind Phone
Every morning Mario visited his neighbor, Mr. Harper. Together they sat at the edge of his garden on the hill, looking down at the port. They made a game of spotting Mario’s dad as he unloaded the morning catch, and Mr. Harper’s daughter, Fiona, as she cleaned the fish one after another. “I see them!” Mario would say. Mr. Harper would laugh. “You win again, Mario.” It was their favorite game.
Mario’s dad loved the ocean. He’d say, “Listen, Mario, the ocean’s saying good morning.” The lapping waves would whisper: O-mor-ning. O-mor-ning. Mario always returned the greeting, “Good morning, ocean.” But on the day the big wave came, the ocean didn’t whisper. It roared (咆哮). A big, watery hand swept into the port, grabbing everything — and everyone — in its grasp. Everyone lost someone that day. It took Mario’s dad, Fiona, and it even took Mario’s voice. Silence hung over the village like a dark, heavy cloud.
Spring came. Here and there stood peach-trees that broke into delicate flowers of pink. One day: Tap-tap-tap. Bang-bang-bang. Mario watched from his window. Mr. Harper was building something in his garden. But what? It was a phone booth (电话亭), painted white and with many panes (窗格) of glass. Mr. Harper went inside and his voice floated out. “Fiona? It’s your father. I miss you.” Mario was confused. Fiona had been grabbed by the ocean, just like Mario’s dad. When Mr. Harper left, Mario crept inside. An old-fashioned phone sat on a table. No plugs, no wires. It was a phone connected to nowhere.
Mr. Harper visited his phone booth every day. Soon other villagers did too. They lifted the receiver to their ears and their voices floated on the wind. “Hello, cousin. Today I fixed the boat. I’ll fish again soon.” “Sister, how’re you? I rode your bike today. It fits me now.”
For the first time since the big wave came, Mario wanted to use his voice. He went down to the port and screamed at the ocean. “Bring our people back!” Still, the waves lapped gently. O-mor-ning. O-mor-ning. Mario sighed and looked up.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。
Mr. Harper’s phone booth sat high on the hill like a lighthouse.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As Mario stepped out, he spotted Mr. Harper down at the port.
