After months of financial hardship following the Strike,Mom decided to rent out our front room.
Mr.Hyde took it,and he fit right in.He always spoke pleasantly to the children,bowed politely to
Mama in the hall,and even Papa loved the way he talked.
Papa often invited him into the warm kitchen to sit with us.There,Mr.Hyde advised Nels on his
high-school courses and sometimes helped him with his Latin.Nels once struggled in school,but now
he kept up with ease,and he stopped begging Papa to let him quit school.
One night Mr.Hyde read Dickens to us.Somehow,night after night,it became our routine.Each
evening he would bring down a book and read aloud,opening new worlds to us.After David
Copperfield and The Old Curiosity Shop,he gave us Shakespeare.We were totally captivated by the
stories.Even when the warm weather came,we children didn't go out to play
One day,when Mr.Hyde took us deep into Fvanhoe,he got a letter and announced he must leave.
He handed Mama a check and left his books to us.We were sorry to lose him,but excited about the
books.
Now Nels read aloud to us each evening,just as Mr.Hyde had done.Nels had a fine voice,and I
could see that made him very proud.
But the peace didn't last.Mr.Kruper,who owned the bakery down the street,told Mom the checks
Hyde gave everyone were worthless."I'll bet he owes you folks plenty,too,eh?Mr.Kruper asked.
Mama looked around at all of us.Her eyes rested longest on Nels."Read,"she told him gently,
"read to us from Ivanhoe."
Then she walked to the stove(炉子)and put the check into the flames.“No,”she answered Mr.
Kruper.“He owes us nothing.”
24.What can we know about Mr.Hyde from paragraph 1?
A.He paid the rent in advance.

C
While artificial intelligence(AD)is praised for its potential to increase efficiency,it often ignores
a more human question:how will AI affect the daily experience of work?This experience is what
determines whether employees work well together,generate new ideas,or choose to remain in their
roles.
In response,researchers suggest that measuring employee happiness could provide essential
guidance during the AI shift."Happiness does not take away from high performance.It is the engine
of it,"says Nic Marks,an expert on workplace well-being.AI might change job tasks,but it is human
leadership that shapes the workplace atmosphere.History offers a lesson:tools like email and
smartphones,though designed to save time,frequently made work more stressful and less separate
from personal life,proving that technology does not necessarily improve happiness.
A significant challenge is employee anxiety,particularly the fear of job loss caused by decisions
made without open communication.When such fears are ignored,people become silent and less willing
to contribute creatively,which is exactly what companies need to avoid during change.The core issue
lies not in AI itself,but in how it is introduced.To overcome this,openness and involving staff in the
process are vital to building the sense of security required for success.
Regularly measuring happiness gives leaders an immediate understanding of the situation.It
shows whether AI tools are truly reducing pressure or creating new burdens().This continuous
feedback enables quicker adjustments than traditional long-term plans can.A simple practice of
measuring,discussing,and adjusting helps create a culture where concerns are addressed early and
teams grow stronger.
Ultimately,AI will reshape what work is,but whether that work becomes more satisfying or more
tiring depends on human choices.In this complex shift,closely attending to how people feel may offer
the most reliable guide for ensuring technology truly improves work for everyone.
28.Why does the author mention email and smartphones in paragraph 2?
A.To warn against the overuse of AI
B.To compare old and new technologies.
C.To explain why workers dislike changes.
D.To prove technology's emotional limitations.
29.What can be inferred about employees'sense of security?
A.It relies on AI's potential.
B.It leads to silence in work
C.It results from ignoring fears
D.It comes from open participation.
30.What does regular measurement of happiness help leaders do?
A.Make fast responses.
B.Improve work efficiency.
C.Reduce work pressure.
D.Replace long-term planning
31.What is the text mainly about?
A.Workplace fear blocks AI's progress
B.Historical lesson proves AI's limitation.
C.Employee happiness guides AI's adoption
D.Emotional impact determines AI's success.

When strong winds strike,birds do not push back-they sense the change and adjust their wings,
and fish do the same in shifting currents.Unlike the graceful,flexible bodies of birds and fish,the rigid
structures of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs)leave them easily knocked off course by sudden
currents.To address this challenge,researchers have taken inspiration from nature to create a robotic
wing that reduces disturbance in water to move steadily.
The team,led by the University of Southampton,looked to use the power of proprioception-the
body's internal sense of position,movement,and force.Using proprioception,birds sense changes in
air flow through their feathers,while fish rely on sensors along their bodies to monitor water motion.
To copy this functionality,the engineers developed an innovative e-skin that can sense subtle
changes caused by water currents.It consists of flexible liquid metal wires encased in silicone )
These act like nerves,sending signals as the wing bends.When hit by a sudden current,the soft wing
first bends naturally,absorbing part of the impact without any energy input.The signals then activate
two tubes housed inside the wing body,which are hydraulically pressurized (to change its
hardness and shape,correcting any remaining imbalance.
The results of its tests were impressive.The wing reduced force caused by abrupt underwater
currents by 87%compared with rigid wings on conventional AUVs.It responded up to four times faster
than soft wings without proprioception and used five times less energy than systems using heat to
change shape.Its ability to stabilize itself was about twice that of a flying barn owl ()although
the authors noted that such biological comparisons should be interpreted with caution
Right now,combining the wing with existing vehicle architectures may present a significant
engineering challenge."Connecting it to current systems would require rigid connectors to link soft
andrigid structures.Further improvements are needed to make the attachment more secure and protect
the electrical connections,"said Leo Micklem,lead author on the paper.
32.What problem does the robotic wing primarily solve?
A.Robots'lack of internal sensors.
B.AUVs'instability in currents.
C.Robots'slow speed in still water.
D.AUVs'high production cost.
33.What is the function of the tubes according to paragraph 3?
A.To absorb current impact.
B.To adjust the wing's form.
C.To generate electrical signals
D.To detect changes in water flow.
34.What do the test results in paragraph 4 suggest about the new wing?
A.Its ability to replace rigid AUVs.
B.Its limitation in energy efficiency.
C.Its struggle with large disturbances.
D.Its superiority over existing designs.
35.What challenge does the new wing face according to Micklem?
A.Integration of opposing materials.
B.Improvement of sensing accuracy.
C.Reduction of manufacturing costs.
D.Protection of the ocean environment

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。
Many people eat broccoli or drink red wine because they believe the antioxidants(抗氧化物)in
them can remove harmful substances and slow down aging.However,recent research suggests a
different idea.These foods are good for us not because they protect us,but because they challenge our
bodies in small ways.36
Plants cannot move to escape danger.As a result,they produce chemicals to defend themselves
against insects,heat,and disease.The spiciness of chili,the bitterness of broccoli,and the dryness of
wine are all part of this defense system.37 When we consume them,our bodies detect these
signals and strengthen their natural ability to cope with stress.
Take broccoli as an example..It contains sulforaphane(萝卜t硫素),which does not fight diseases
directly.38 In doing so,it helps us build stronger defenses and improve long-term health.
A certain level of challenge can be good for our health.Modern farming makes food safer and
more stable,but it also reduces the stress plants experience,leading to fewer protective chemicals and
weaker signals for the human body.
In contrast,.the Mediterranean(地中海的)diet offers a different picture.It features foods like
olives,nuts,and vegetables,which often grow in dry and difficult conditions.39 When we eat
them,we receive stronger signals that help our bodies respond and stay healthy.This may help explain
why the Mediterranean diet is widely considered healthy and beneficial in the long run.
40 Rather than simply avoiding stress,our bodies benefit from manageable stresses that
strengthen them and prepare them for future difficulties
A.However,this is easier said than done.
B.Rather,it activates our built-in defense systems
C.This view offers a new way to understand healthy eating.
D.For humans,these substances act as a mild form of stress.
E.To survive,they produce more chemicals to protect themselves.
F.Ultimately,health is built through balanced interaction with the world.
G.Processed foods,however,are typically grown in resource-rich environments.

Carlos,a music teacher,was preparing a dance for the school show,whose theme was spring.
Every afternoon,the music room was filled with laughter and the light thud (of little feet.
Carlostaught the students movements that celebrated the season.He loved watching them bounce,spin,
and leap to the rhythm.The room was alive with energy,alive with motion,alive with spring.
But there was something that weighed on his heart.A girl named Luna always sat quietly in the
comner.Carlos knew that Luna had difficulty walking.Her legs did not move like those of the other
children.
Day after day,he saw her sitting there,and each time he felt a knot tighten in his stomach.He
noticed the way her eyes followed the other children as they moved across the floor.There was longing
in those eyes-a quiet,painful wish to be one of them.He wanted to include her.But how?The dance
had been built around movements Luna could not do.
Then one afternoon,Carlos was demonstrating a new set of steps.Soft music drifted through the
room-a gentle tune about spring,about tiny green shoots pushing through the cold earth.The students
followed along,pretending to be seeds waking from winter sleep.
Carlos turned around to check on their progress.That was when he saw Luna.She was still sitting
in her corner,but her small hands were moving gently in the air.Her fingers opened like tender leaves
unfolding.Theyreachedupward like a young plant searching for sunlight after a long winter.Her upper
body swayed (slightly,like a small tree bending in a soft spring breeze (
She was not just watching.She was dancing with her hands-a small,quiet dance of spring,of
life beginning again.She looked like a tiny tree,still delicate,yet already reaching for the light.Her
fingers trembled like new leaves,fragile in the cold air,yet brave enough to appear.

1.续写词数应为150个左右:

Para 1:Carlos felt something hit his chest-a tiny tree.

Carlos felt something hit his chest-a tiny tree.In that moment,he understood.Luna did not need
to copy the other children's jumps and turns.She could become the very heart of the dance.She could
be a little tree in spring-still,quiet,yet full of life.The other children could dance around her like
wind,rain,and sunlight.Carlos walked over,knelt beside her,and gently told her what he had in mind.
"Your hands are beautiful,"he said softly."They can tell the story of spring."Luna looked up at him,
surprised.Then her eyes slowly lit up.She nodded eagerly,her face shining with joy,for nothing made
her happier than the thought of finally joining the performance.
Then came the school show.Warm golden light fell across the stage as the music began,soft and
hopeful.The other children skipped and twirled like spring breezes,full of energy and delight.But at
the center of the stage sat Luna,dressed in pale green.Slowly,her hands rose into the light.Her fingers
trembled,opened,and stretched upward like new leaves reaching for the sun.Around her,the other
children moved in circles like wind dancing through the trees.The audience grew quiet,watching her
every movement.And when her hands finally opened wide,as if a tiny tree had fully awakened to
spring,the hall burst into applause.Carlos felt tears sting his eyes.At that moment,Luna was no longer
the girl who sat in the corner.She had become spring itself.
