Recent technological breakthroughs have revealed their hidden roles. Key Uses of Mushrooms by Ancient Humans: Time Period Group Usage Specific Details 48,000 years ago Neanderthals (尼安德特人) Food; Medicine 1. People ate gray & split mushrooms; 2. People chewed penicillin mould (青霉素霉菌) for tooth infection. 11,000 years ago Middle Stone Age hunter-gatherers Starting fires 1. 82 preserved mushrooms were in Yorkshire, UK; 2. Mushrooms were processed into something that could be used with tree skin as easy-to-carry fire-starting kit. 10,000 years ago Early rice cultivators (East Asia) Making beer 1. A special tiny mushroom changed rice into sugar; 2. The mushrooms were mixed with tiny things in the air to make the first rice beer. 5,300 years ago New Stone Age Ötzi the Iceman (冰人奥兹) Fishing floats; Starting fires 1. Some mushrooms were covered with bee wax for reusable floats; 2. Dry mushroom material and a special stone in a leather bag were used to start fires. Important Discoveries: 1. Chemical tests show mushrooms’ carbon and nitrogen (氮) levels are similar to plants and meat, meaning they were likely part of ancient diets but previously undetected. 2. Scientists found bits of mushrooms stuck in 15,000-year-old teeth, proving consumption. 21. Why were mushrooms’ contributions ignored for a long time? A. Because recent technology had not been invented. B. Because people showed no interest in mushrooms. C. Because mushrooms played no role in human survival. D. Because mushrooms were not well preserved in fossils. 22. Which two ancient groups used mushrooms as fire starters? A. Middle Stone Age hunter-gatherers and Neanderthals. B. Neanderthals and Early rice cultivators. C. Middle Stone Age hunter-gatherers and Ötzi the Iceman. D. Ötzi the Iceman and Early rice cultivators. 23.

B When scientists at Columbia University announced they had made a cheesecake using a 3D printer, many people laughed. But for 14-year-old Maya Rodriguez, it was the most exciting news she’d heard all year. Maya had always loved baking. Her grandmother, a professional baker in Mexico City, taught her to make traditional Mexican pastries when she was just seven. But Maya also loved technology. She often dreamed of combining her two passions. “The article said the scientists used a 3D printer to build the cheesecake layer by layer — graham crackers, peanut butter, Nutella, banana puree, and strawberry jam, “Maya explained. “It wasn’t just mixing things together. The printer could place each ingredient exactly where it needed to be. “Inspired, Maya spent her summer researching 3D food printing. She learned that while 3D printing was first tested in 1981, food printing was still in its early stages. Most food printers could only handle one ingredient at a time. The Columbia team’s breakthrough was using multiple ingredients in one print. “I started experimenting with my family’s kitchen printer — the regular kind, not a food printer,” Maya laughed. “I designed layers for a traditional Mexican tres leches cake.” Her big moment came at the school science fair. Maya presented her design alongside samples of her hand-baked cake. A local newspaper covered her project. Soon after, a university food science program invited her to visit their lab. “It’s not really about the cake,” Maya said. “It’s about showing that old traditions and new technology can work together. My grandmother’s recipes are hundreds of years old. Maybe a printer can help keep them alive for hundreds more.” 24. How did Maya first learn about 3D-printed food? A. From a news article. B. From her grandmother. C. From a school science fair. D. From a university lab visit. 25. What was special about the Columbia University team’s 3D-printed cheesecake? A. It was the first 3D-printed food ever made. B. It could be printed in just one minute. C. It integrated multiple ingredients into one print. D. It tasted better than regular cheesecake. 26. What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refer to? A. 3D printers. B. New technologies. C. University scientists. D. Maya’s grandmother’s recipes. 27. What message does Maya’s story mainly convey? A. 3D printing will replace traditional baking. B. Young people should enter science fairs. C. Technology can help preserve cultural traditions. D. Cheesecake is the best food to 3D-print. C When we think about the role of AI-powered robots in our lives, what do we really want them to do? Take our jobs or make decisions for us? Probably not that either. But what about doing housework? OK, now you’re talking! That’s the idea behind LG’s newest creation. Its human-like CLOiD robot, developed by the South Korean company, aims to make housework “a thing of the past”. It’s part of the company’s plans to move toward a home that requires almost no human labor. This new robot can prepare meals, fold clothes, get things from the fridge and put dishes in the dishwasher. It moves on wheels and works with other LG products in a user’s home. Some people have simple house robots already, but perhaps not quite like this. It’s got a head, arms, five fingers to grab things, and a body that can tilt (倾斜) to adjust its height between 105 centimeters and 143 centimeters. LG says CLOiD can communicate with humans through spoken language and facial expressions, and learn more about the tasks it needs to finish in the house. So far, it sounds a lot like the robots we’ve seen in sci-fi movies! But a report points out that while CLOiD might allow you to put your feet up, it might not do anything very quickly. Technology website The Verge says the robot takes 30 seconds to put one item in the washing machine. It takes a long time to fold clothes, too. It’s not clear whether LG is going to begin selling CLOiD anytime soon. Until then, perhaps you’ll just have to ask your children to do housework — or do it yourself! 28. How does the author lead in the topic? A. By mentioning an expert. B. By giving an explanation. C. By raising questions. D. By telling a story. 29. What is the main goal of CLOiD? A. To free humans from housework. B. To help children with homework. C. To make decisions for families. D. To monitor other LG products. 30. What can we know from the report concerning the robot? A. It is highly efficient at doing laundry. B. Its working speed needs improving. C. It has been widely used by families. D. Its height can be adjusted within seconds. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. How Robots Learn from Humans B. Why Housework Is a Challenge for Robots C. A Big Change in the Future Workplace D. A New Robot Helper for Housework D In The Incredibles, Violet Parr is a lot like other teenagers. She has embarrassing parents, a troublesome little brother and a crush so intense it makes her want to disappear. But unlike other teens, Violet can actually vanish when the boy she likes looks her way. Many animals, too, find it helpful to hide from predators (捕食者) in plain sight. The secret to invisibility is all about light. “The way we see things is when light is reflected back off of an object onto our eyes,” says Kate Feller, who studies vision and behavior at Union College in Schenectady, N. Y. The more light that can pass through something undisturbed, the harder it is to see that thing. Light that hits our bodies usually gets absorbed or bounced around. But animals with nearly invisible body parts have figured out tricks to get around this. A lot of animals get their colors from molecules called pigments (色素). These compounds appear different colors depending on which wavelengths of light they absorb and which they reflect. Green pigments, for instance, reflect green light and absorb all other colors. For an animal to vanish in plain sight, like most baby fish, it needs to get rid of these colorful compounds. Some animals’ see-through parts are nearly reflection-free. Glasswing butterflies, for instance, have wings that are almost fully transparent (透明的). Their wings have fewer reflective scales than other butterflies’ wings. The wings are also covered in tiny wax bumps, which soften light’s transition from air to tissue. In theory, we could draw on some of the same tricks to vanish: Don’t let light bounce around in your body. But that would be hard for a person — or any land animal — to do in real life. Light doesn’t bend that much when passing from water into a sea creature but going from air into an animal’s body, it bends a lot — making invisibility much harder on land. 32. What is the purpose of mentioning Violet Parr in paragraph 1? A. To emphasize a reality gap. B. To illustrate a scientific concept. C. To point out an adolescent struggle. D. To introduce a scientific phenomenon. 33. Why can most baby fish stay invisible? A. They lack pigments. B. They can absorb light. C. They can reflect light. D. They generate pigments. 34. What can be inferred about the example of Glasswing butterflies? A. Other butterflies’ wings can barely reflect light. B. They cannot produce pigments by themselves. C. Light can pass through their wings mostly undisturbed. D. The secret to invisibility merely lies in pigment molecules. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Is It Possible to Be Invisible B. How We See Through Things C. Why Are Some Animals Transparent D. How Animals Hide from Predators 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读短文，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。 How to Improve in Sports If sports are something that interests you, you probably want to get better at them.

But for 14-year-old Maya Rodriguez, it was the most exciting news she’d heard all year. Maya had always loved baking. Her grandmother, a professional baker in Mexico City, taught her to make traditional Mexican pastries when she was just seven. But Maya also loved technology. She often dreamed of combining her two passions. “The article said the scientists used a 3D printer to build the cheesecake layer by layer — graham crackers, peanut butter, Nutella, banana puree, and strawberry jam, “Maya explained. “It wasn’t just mixing things together. The printer could place each ingredient exactly where it needed to be. “Inspired, Maya spent her summer researching 3D food printing. She learned that while 3D printing was first tested in 1981, food printing was still in its early stages. Most food printers could only handle one ingredient at a time. The Columbia team’s breakthrough was using multiple ingredients in one print. “I started experimenting with my family’s kitchen printer — the regular kind, not a food printer,” Maya laughed. “I designed layers for a traditional Mexican tres leches cake.” Her big moment came at the school science fair. Maya presented her design alongside samples of her hand-baked cake. A local newspaper covered her project. Soon after, a university food science program invited her to visit their lab. “It’s not really about the cake,” Maya said. “It’s about showing that old traditions and new technology can work together. My grandmother’s recipes are hundreds of years old. Maybe a printer can help keep them alive for hundreds more.” 24. How did Maya first learn about 3D-printed food? A. From a news article. B. From her grandmother. C. From a school science fair. D. From a university lab visit. 25. What was special about the Columbia University team’s 3D-printed cheesecake? A. It was the first 3D-printed food ever made. B. It could be printed in just one minute. C. It integrated multiple ingredients into one print. D. It tasted better than regular cheesecake. 26. What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refer to? A. 3D printers. B. New technologies. C. University scientists. D. Maya’s grandmother’s recipes. 27. What message does Maya’s story mainly convey? A. 3D printing will replace traditional baking. B. Young people should enter science fairs. C. Technology can help preserve cultural traditions. D. Cheesecake is the best food to 3D-print. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了14岁女孩玛雅受新闻启发，研究3D食物打印并探索传统与科技结合的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“When scientists at Columbia University announced they had made a cheesecake using a 3D printer, many people laughed.

Maybe a printer can help keep them alive for hundreds more.(我祖母的食谱有几百年的历史了。也许打印机能让它们再延续几百年)”可知，玛雅认为3D打印机也许能让祖母的食谱再延续几百年，由此可知，them指代的是“玛雅祖母的食谱”。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文呢，尤其是根据最后一段中“It’s about showing that old traditions and new technology can work together. My grandmother’s recipes are hundreds of years old. Maybe a printer can help keep them alive for hundreds more.(这是为了表明旧传统和新技术可以共同发挥作用。我祖母的食谱有几百年的历史了。也许打印机能让它们再延续几百年)”可知，文章主要讲述了玛雅的故事，传达了科技可以帮助保护文化传统的信息。 C When we think about the role of AI-powered robots in our lives, what do we really want them to do? Take our jobs or make decisions for us? Probably not that either. But what about doing housework? OK, now you’re talking! That’s the idea behind LG’s newest creation. Its human-like CLOiD robot, developed by the South Korean company, aims to make housework “a thing of the past”. It’s part of the company’s plans to move toward a home that requires almost no human labor. This new robot can prepare meals, fold clothes, get things from the fridge and put dishes in the dishwasher. It moves on wheels and works with other LG products in a user’s home. Some people have simple house robots already, but perhaps not quite like this. It’s got a head, arms, five fingers to grab things, and a body that can tilt (倾斜) to adjust its height between 105 centimeters and 143 centimeters. LG says CLOiD can communicate with humans through spoken language and facial expressions, and learn more about the tasks it needs to finish in the house. So far, it sounds a lot like the robots we’ve seen in sci-fi movies! But a report points out that while CLOiD might allow you to put your feet up, it might not do anything very quickly. Technology website The Verge says the robot takes 30 seconds to put one item in the washing machine. It takes a long time to fold clothes, too. It’s not clear whether LG is going to begin selling CLOiD anytime soon. Until then, perhaps you’ll just have to ask your children to do housework — or do it yourself! 28. How does the author lead in the topic? A. By mentioning an expert. B. By giving an explanation. C. By raising questions. D. By telling a story. 29. What is the main goal of CLOiD? A. To free humans from housework. B. To help children with homework. C. To make decisions for families. D. To monitor other LG products. 30. What can we know from the report concerning the robot? A. It is highly efficient at doing laundry. B. Its working speed needs improving. C. It has been widely used by families. D. Its height can be adjusted within seconds. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. How Robots Learn from Humans B. Why Housework Is a Challenge for Robots C. A Big Change in the Future Workplace D. A New Robot Helper for Housework 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了LG公司新研发的家用机器人CLOiD，旨在帮助人们完成家务，让家务成为过去式。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When we think about the role of AI-powered robots in our lives, what do we really want them to do? Take our jobs or make decisions for us? Probably not that either. But what about doing housework? OK, now you’re talking! That’s the idea behind LG’s newest creation.(当我们想到人工智能机器人在我们生活中的角色时，我们真正希望它们做什么呢？是取代我们的工作还是为我们做决定？可能都不是。但做家务怎么样呢？好的，现在你算是说到点子上了！这就是LG最新创意背后的想法。)”可知，作者通过提问的方式引出话题。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Its human-like CLOiD robot, developed by the South Korean company, aims to make housework “a thing of the past”.(这款由韩国公司开发的人形机器人CLOiD旨在让家务成为“过去式”。)”可知，CLOiD的主要目标是让人们从家务中解放出来。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But a report points out that while CLOiD might allow you to put your feet up, it might not do anything very quickly. Technology website The Verge says the robot takes 30 seconds to put one item in the washing machine. It takes a long time to fold clothes, too.(但一份报告指出，虽然CLOiD可能会让你放松，但它可能不会很快完成任何事情。科技网站The Verge称，这款机器人需要30秒才能将一件物品放入洗衣机。它叠衣服也需要很长时间。)”可知，CLOiD的工作速度有待提高。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是结合第一段“When we think about the role of AI-powered robots in our lives, what do we really want them to do? Take our jobs or make decisions for us? Probably not that either. But what about doing housework? OK, now you’re talking! That’s the idea behind LG’s newest creation.(当我们想到人工智能机器人在我们生活中的角色时，我们真正希望它们做什么呢？是取代我们的工作还是为我们做决定？可能都不是。但做家务怎么样呢？好的，现在你算是说到点子上了！这就是LG最新创意背后的想法。)”可知，本文主要介绍了LG公司新研发的家用机器人CLOiD，旨在帮助人们完成家务，让家务成为过去式，故D项“A New Robot Helper for Housework(一个新的家务机器人助手)”适合作为本文的标题。故选D。 D In The Incredibles, Violet Parr is a lot like other teenagers. She has embarrassing parents, a troublesome little brother and a crush so intense it makes her want to disappear. But unlike other teens, Violet can actually vanish when the boy she likes looks her way. Many animals, too, find it helpful to hide from predators (捕食者) in plain sight. The secret to invisibility is all about light. “The way we see things is when light is reflected back off of an object onto our eyes,” says Kate Feller, who studies vision and behavior at Union College in Schenectady, N. Y. The more light that can pass through something undisturbed, the harder it is to see that thing. Light that hits our bodies usually gets absorbed or bounced around. But animals with nearly invisible body parts have figured out tricks to get around this. A lot of animals get their colors from molecules called pigments (色素). These compounds appear different colors depending on which wavelengths of light they absorb and which they reflect. Green pigments, for instance, reflect green light and absorb all other colors. For an animal to vanish in plain sight, like most baby fish, it needs to get rid of these colorful compounds. Some animals’ see-through parts are nearly reflection-free. Glasswing butterflies, for instance, have wings that are almost fully transparent (透明的). Their wings have fewer reflective scales than other butterflies’ wings. The wings are also covered in tiny wax bumps, which soften light’s transition from air to tissue. In theory, we could draw on some of the same tricks to vanish: Don’t let light bounce around in your body. But that would be hard for a person — or any land animal — to do in real life. Light doesn’t bend that much when passing from water into a sea creature but going from air into an animal’s body, it bends a lot — making invisibility much harder on land. 32. What is the purpose of mentioning Violet Parr in paragraph 1? A. To emphasize a reality gap. B. To illustrate a scientific concept. C. To point out an adolescent struggle. D. To introduce a scientific phenomenon. 33. Why can most baby fish stay invisible? A. They lack pigments. B. They can absorb light. C. They can reflect light. D. They generate pigments. 34. What can be inferred about the example of Glasswing butterflies? A. Other butterflies’ wings can barely reflect light. B. They cannot produce pigments by themselves. C. Light can pass through their wings mostly undisturbed. D. The secret to invisibility merely lies in pigment molecules. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Is It Possible to Be Invisible B. How We See Through Things C. Why Are Some Animals Transparent D. How Animals Hide from Predators 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】文章以电影角色引入，介绍了动物实现隐身的科学原理，并探讨了人类模仿动物实现隐身的可能性与局限性。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But unlike other teens, Violet can actually vanish when the boy she likes looks her way. (但和其他青少年不同，当她喜欢的男孩看向她时，Violet 真的可以消失。)”及第二段“Many animals, too, find it helpful to hide from predators (捕食者) in plain sight. The secret to invisibility is all about light. (许多动物也发现，在光天化日之下躲避捕食者是有帮助的。隐身的秘密全在于光。)”可知，文章用Violet的隐身能力引出下文关于动物隐身的科学现象，因此提及该角色的目的是引出科学话题。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“For an animal to vanish in plain sight, like most baby fish, it needs to get rid of these colorful compounds. (对于大多数幼鱼这类动物来说，要想在光天化日下消失，就需要摆脱这些有色化合物。)”可知，大多数幼鱼能保持隐身是因为它们不含色素。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The more light that can pass through something undisturbed, the harder it is to see that thing. (光线能不受干扰地穿过物体的量越多，物体就越难被看见。)”和第四段“Glasswing butterflies, for instance, have wings that are almost fully transparent (透明的). Their wings have fewer reflective scales than other butterflies’ wings. The wings are also covered in tiny wax bumps, which soften light’s transition from air to tissue. (例如，透翅蝶的翅膀几乎完全透明。它们的翅膀比其他蝴蝶的翅膀反射性鳞片更少，翅膀上还覆盖着微小的蜡质凸起，能减缓光线从空气进入组织的变化。)”可推知，光线能几乎不受干扰地穿过透翅蝶的翅膀，使其近乎透明。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The secret to invisibility is all about light. (隐身的秘密全在于光。)”和第五段“In theory, we could draw on some of the same tricks to vanish: Don’t let light bounce around in your body. But that would be hard for a person — or any land animal — to do in real life. (理论上，我们可以借鉴这些同样的技巧来实现隐身：不让光线在你的体内发生散射。但对于人类——或者任何陆地动物来说——在现实生活中做到这一点是非常困难的。)”可知，文章核心围绕“隐身是否可能”这一主题展开，既介绍了动物隐身的原理，也讨论了人类实现隐身的难度；A选项“Is It Possible to Be Invisible (隐身是否可能)”精准概括了全文大意。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读短文，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。 How to Improve in Sports If sports are something that interests you, you probably want to get better at them.
