Born in South Dakota, he moved to Virginia in 2012 and discovered his passion for biomedical engineering early on. “I’ve always loved Virginia Tech,” Stelter said. “Once I toured the department, I was completely impressed. I haven’t had a single regret.” His journey into engineering began in high school. Through a special program, Stelter became fascinated by bioprinting. “We worked with a bioprinter and even printed materials using algae (藻类),” he recalled. “That was my first chance to see that engineering could directly help human health.” Upon arriving at Virginia Tech, Stelter didn’t wait to dive into practical work. During his freshman year, he sought research opportunities and joined the Kim Lab led by Assistant Professor Oleg Kim. “Once I met the lab and the graduate students, I knew it was where I wanted to be,” Stelter said. In the lab, he focused on researching the effects of saliva (唾液) on blood clotting (凝块) mechanics in oral wound healing. His findings were great, discovering that saliva significantly reduces the time required for clot formation. Stelter’s senior design team is also making progress in medical technology. They are developing a specialized nerve conduit (神经导管) designed to help the repair of peripheral nerve injuries. This device serves as a bridge for damaged nerves, effectively promoting natural regrowth. “Instead of relying on nerve grafts (移植), which often only restore about half of motor and sensory function, our goal is to allow the nerve to reconnect, naturally,” Stelter explained. “That could greatly improve recovery.” After graduating in just three years, Stelter has found his true interest in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. He plans to continue his research at Virginia Tech and in the Kim Lab, eventually working toward a Ph. D. to continue making an impact on human health through his dedicated scientific efforts. 4. What initially inspired Stelter’s passion for biomedical engineering? A. His tour of Virginia Tech’s department. B. A desire to improve environment. C. His personal experience with diseases. D. A high school program with bioprinting. 5. What did Stelter discover about saliva in wound healing? A. It slows down blood clotting. B. It shortens the time of clot formation. C. It replaces the need for grafts. D. It assists natural nerve growth. 6. What is the value of the new device? A. It replaces traditional motor functions. B. It simplifies complex graft processes. C. It improves nerves’natural regrowth. D. It contributes to a complete recovery. 7. Which best describes Stelter’s educational journey? A. Physically demanding. B. Eye-opening. C. Financially rewarding. D. Goal-driven. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述大学生科尔·斯特尔特的求学科研经历，介绍他接触生物医学工程的契机、两项研究成果以及未来深造规划。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“His journey into engineering began in high school. Through a special program, Stelter became fascinated by bioprinting.(他的工程学之路始于高中。通过一个特殊项目，斯特尔特对生物打印产生了浓厚兴趣。)”可知，高中的生物打印专项项目最初激发了他对生物医学工程的热爱。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“His findings were great, discovering that saliva significantly reduces the time required for clot formation.(他的研究成果十分可观，他发现唾液能大幅缩短血块形成所需的时间。)”可知，唾液可以缩短血块形成的时长。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“They are developing a specialized nerve conduit (神经导管) designed to help the repair of peripheral nerve injuries. This device serves as a bridge for damaged nerves, effectively promoting natural regrowth.(他们正在研发一种专用神经导管，该导管旨在辅助修复周围神经损伤。这款装置可充当受损神经之间的桥梁，有效促进神经自然再生。)”可知，这款新设备的作用是促进神经自然再生。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Cole Stelter arrived at Virginia Tech with a clear plan.(科尔·斯特尔特带着清晰的规划进入弗吉尼亚理工大学。)”以及尾段中的“He plans to continue his research at Virginia Tech and in the Kim Lab, eventually working toward a Ph. D. to continue making an impact on human health through his dedicated scientific efforts.(他计划继续在弗吉尼亚理工大学以及金实验室开展研究，最终攻读博士学位，凭借自身潜心钻研的科研工作持续为人类健康事业贡献力量。)”可知，从入学到科研再到深造，他始终有着清晰明确的目标，由此能推断出他的求学之路是目标导向型的。 C Human children and adults often follow trends, but this imitation isn’t unique to our species. A new study suggests wild parrots (鹦鹉) learn to try new foods by copying peers. Animals living in urban environments can meet unusual resources, and expanding their diet is crucial in ever-changing cities. However, they are often cautious about unfamiliar, potentially poisonous food. To judge the risks, some animals use social learning by observing others — a strategy rarely studied in the wild. To check if wild parrots use this way, scientists studied over 700 wild cockatoos in five Sydney areas. Two parrots from different places learned to eat blue or red colored nuts. Then a food box with these nuts was put there. After watching the trained parrots eat, other parrots in Balmoral Beach ate the colored nuts within seven minutes. In a third community, where there were no trained cockatoos, it took four days for the parrots to try the novel food items. But after one parrot — who had moved from the Balmoral Beach community — took the risk, 15 other parrots also ate the nuts within 10 minutes. By the end of the experiment, 349 individuals across five areas were eating colored nuts. The researchers also found males were more likely to influence the behavior of other males. Female parrots were more likely to change their behavior based on social information, regardless of the age or sex of the individuals they observed. What’s more interesting is that young parrots always follow others and copy most parrots’ choices. Yet adult ones care more about their social partners’ actions. 8. What does the underlined word “imitation” in the first paragraph mean? A. Seeking social acceptance. B. Protecting their unique identity. C. Adopting habits from parents. D. Learning through observation. 9. How did parrots react after seeing trained ones eat colored nuts? A. They waited for four days. B. They tried them soon. C. They refused the new food. D. They changed their habits. 10. What did the study find about young parrots? A. They learned faster than adults. B. They were braver than adults. C. They followed most other parrots. D. They preferred social partners. 11. What can be inferred about social learning according to the text? A. It helps animals adapt to new environments. B. It belongs to human nature. C. It prevents animals from trying new foods. D. It works equally for male and female birds. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了一项新研究发现野生鹦鹉能够通过模仿同伴来学习尝试新食物。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Human children and adults often follow trends, but this imitation isn’t unique to our species. A new study suggests wild parrots (鹦鹉) learn to try new foods by copying peers.(人类儿童和成人经常追随潮流，但这种imitation并非人类独有。一项新研究表明，野生鹦鹉会通过模仿同类来学习尝试新食物)”可知，this imitation指的是前面“人类儿童和成人追随潮流”这件事，结合后文讲述野生鹦鹉通过模仿同类的行为学习新食物，可推测出imitation的含义是“模仿”，即通过观察进行学习。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“After watching the trained parrots eat, other parrots in Balmoral Beach ate the colored nuts within seven minutes.(在观察过经过训练的鹦鹉进食后，巴尔莫勒尔海滩的其他鹦鹉在七分钟之内就开始食用这些带颜色的坚果了)”可知，鹦鹉看到经过训练的鹦鹉吃彩色坚果后，很快就开始尝试这些新食物。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“What’s more interesting is that young parrots always follow others and copy most parrots’ choices.(更有趣的是，年幼的鹦鹉总会跟随其他鹦鹉，模仿大多数鹦鹉的选择)”可知，研究发现年幼鹦鹉会跟随大多数其他鹦鹉的选择。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Animals living in urban environments can meet unusual resources, and expanding their diet is crucial in ever-changing cities. However, they are often cautious about unfamiliar, potentially poisonous food. To judge the risks, some animals use social learning by observing others — a strategy rarely studied in the wild.(生活在城市环境中的动物会遇到不寻常的资源，在不断变化的城市中扩大饮食范围是至关重要的。但它们通常对不熟悉、可能有毒的食物十分谨慎。为了判断风险，一些动物会通过观察其他个体进行社会学习——这是很少在野外环境中研究的策略)”可知，社会学习可以帮助动物判断新食物的风险，扩大饮食范围，进而帮助它们适应不断变化的新环境。 D Imagine a robot that could do your laundry, cook your dinner, or stock the dairy section at your local grocery store. Humans have long been able to teach robots how to do individual tasks, but instructing them on these more complex (复杂的) jobs has been a challenging goal, despite billions of dollars invested in robotics. Now, a team of scientists in Switzerland has made progress in the quest to invent helpful robots that can act on complex instructions from humans. A problem that robotics scientists like Sthithpragya Gupta have long battled is that robots cannot do tasks beyond those that they are specifically programmed for. Take tennis as an example. Robots may be able to learn how to hit a backhand shot perfectly. But if conditions change — say, their opponent moves — it all falls apart. Humans have no problem adjusting to these kinds of changes. Teaching a robot how to adapt, though, is much more difficult. Gupta and his colleagues have published a paper showing a new way of teaching robots using machine learning. The approach relies on kinematic (运动学上的) intelligence — a robot’s built-in awareness of how its own body can move safely through space. In a video showing their technology, robots with a single arm watch as a human instructor throws a ball into a small container. The robots then pick up the ball and copy the instructor’s behavior, adapting their own position. Robots are then capable of transferring these skills and knowledge to other robots. “It could be a turning point,” says Robert Platt, who studies robotics at Northeastern University. Platt noted that the field of robotics is not in widespread agreement about the path forward — but most agree the problem these researchers are handling is a critical one. However, this technology poses new questions about ethics (伦理标准). Susan Schneider at Florida Atlantic University points out that later versions of this technology could potentially be weaponized against humans. Future development will need rules. “I think really soon we should have regulatory frameworks on who operates a robot and how,” says Gupta. 12. What problem of robots has long troubled robotics scientists? A. The high costs of programming robots. B. The inability to follow complex tasks. C. The slow response to human orders. D. The lack of certain physical flexibility. 13. How did the Swiss team’s robots show their learning ability in the experiment? A. By correcting mistakes made by humans. B. By competing with human instructors. C. By adapting behavior for their position. D. By perfectly replaying human actions. 14. What can be inferred about the future of this robotic technology? A. It will soon replace human workers. B. Its path forward remains smooth. C. Its main risk is technical breakdown. D. It demands rules for its safe application. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. A breakthrough in adaptable robotics. B. The tough challenges of machine learning. C. Various ethical debates around robots. D. A commercial expectation of service robots. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍瑞士科学家团队在自适应机器人研发领域取得突破，阐述传统机器人存在的局限、新型机器人的学习原理与实验表现，同时提及业内评价以及该技术衍生的伦理监管问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A problem that robotics scientists like Sthithpragya Gupta have long battled is that robots cannot do tasks beyond those that they are specifically programmed for. Humans have no problem adjusting to these kinds of changes. Teaching a robot how to adapt, though, is much more difficult.(像Sthithpragya Gupta这样的机器人学家长期以来都在攻克一个难题：机器人无法完成特定编程范围之外的任务。人类适应这类变化毫无难度，但教会机器人灵活适应却要困难得多。)”可知，长期困扰机器人科学家的难题是机器人无法完成复杂任务、难以应对多变任务场景。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In a video showing their technology, robots with a single arm watch as a human instructor throws a ball into a small container. The robots then pick up the ball and copy the instructor’s behavior, adapting their own position.(在展示这项技术的视频中，单机械臂机器人观察人类指导员将球扔进小容器，随后机器人捡起球，模仿指导员的动作，同时调整自身站位。)”可知，瑞士团队的机器人通过调整自身站位来适配动作，以此展现学习能力。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, this technology poses new questions about ethics. Susan Schneider at Florida Atlantic University points out that later versions of this technology could potentially be weaponized against humans. Future development will need rules. ‘I think really soon we should have regulatory frameworks on who operates a robot and how,’ says Gupta.(然而这项技术带来了新的伦理难题。佛罗里达大西洋大学的Susan Schneider指出，该技术的后续版本有可能被制造成针对人类的武器，未来发展需要配套规则。Gupta表示：‘我认为我们应当尽快出台监管框架，规范机器人的操作人员与操作方式。’)”可知，这项机器人技术想要安全落地使用，必须配套相关监管规则。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Now, a team of scientists in Switzerland has made progress in the quest to invent helpful robots that can act on complex instructions from humans.(如今，瑞士一组科学家在研发能执行人类复杂指令的实用机器人这一探索中取得了进展。)”、第三段“Gupta and his colleagues have published a paper showing a new way of teaching robots using machine learning.(Gupta及其同事发表论文，展示一种利用机器学习训练机器人的新方法。)”及最后一段“However, this technology poses new questions about ethics.(然而这项技术带来了新的伦理难题。)”可知，文章先点明传统机器人难以适配复杂可变任务的痛点，再重点介绍瑞士团队研发出的机器人技术突破，同时补充业内评价与技术伦理监管问题，全文核心围绕可自适应机器人领域的技术突破展开。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 Traditions are the heartbeat of human society. ____16____ They are living stories passed down through generations that shape our identity and connect us to our roots. Without them, we risk losing the very essence of what makes us who we are. Therefore, it’s essential to understand why traditions are important. Preserving cultural identity. Traditions act as anchors (锚), reminding communities of their heritage, language, and values in the face of globalization and modernization. For example, Thanksgiving in the U.S. preserves the spirit of gratitude and historical reflection. ____17____ They become disconnected from the stories, music, foods, and values that make them different. ____18____ Traditions are the glue that holds families and communities together. Shared practices create a sense of belonging, offering people the comfort of knowing they are part of something larger. Whether it’s a weekly dinner or an annual reunion, these moments build trust and deepen relationships across generations. Providing a sense of stability and continuity. In times of rapid change, uncertainty, or hardship, traditions provide reassurance. They create a rhythm in life, reminding people that despite challenges, some things remain constant. When we’re under stress, most of us can find comfort in returning to familiar customs. ____19____ Celebrating milestones and achievements. Life is a journey marked by important milestones — births, weddings, anniversaries, etc. ____20____ They turn personal achievements into shared joy, strengthening bonds and creating lasting memories. Without traditions, these milestones would feel incomplete or lack emotional depth. A. Building unity in diversity. B. Strengthening family and community bonds. C. They are more than just ceremonies and customs. D. Without traditions, societies risk losing their uniqueness. E. That is because they guide behavior and decision-making. F. Traditions provide meaningful ways to celebrate these milestones. G. That sense of familiarity gives us the strength to face whatever comes next. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. B 19. G 20.

I spent two hours in a hardware shop, looking for a special old white paint for my mom’s birthday. She hoped to repaint her kitchen cabinets, and I promised to finish it before the family party this weekend. At last I finished buying the things I needed. I took brushes, sandpaper and paint rollers, and then walked out to the parking lot to drive to my mother’s house. The late September sun shone brightly and was really hot. Just then I noticed my keys were left in the car ignition (点火装置) and my phone was on the front passenger seat. My car locked itself after the door was shut. I was in such a hurry that I left all important things inside, with nothing useful in my pocket. I kicked the car tyre (轮胎) and felt really annoyed. Soon a teenager’s voice came. “Is there anything wrong?” he asked. The teenager was about sixteen. He wore a worn baseball cap tilted on his head and a simple grey T-shirt that seemed washed many times. There was a fresh scrape (擦伤) on his right knee, which showed he had fallen down not long before. I told him what had happened, feeling embarrassed about my careless mistake. Unexpectedly, he offered me his phone to call my wife. I smiled sadly and refused. I said my wife was staying home to look after our baby girl, who was just three months old and needed to be fed and taken good care of all the time. She could neither leave the baby nor bring me the spare key, because this car was our only means of transport. It was about six kilometers away from here, and there was no way for us to meet each other. He listened carefully, looking at my worried look, the locked car and then his old bike. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then a slow smile spread across his sunburned cheeks. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ An hour later, he returned with the key. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Then a slow smile spread across his sunburned cheeks. He mentioned that he knew every shortcut in this town, and that his legs were strong enough for the journey. I protested about the distance and heat, pointing out the steep hills and burning pavement he would face. However, he simply shook his head with determination, patted his reliable bicycle seat, and jumped on his bike. With a quick wave of confidence, he pedaled away into the shimmering heat, leaving me with only hope. An hour later, he returned with the key. I handed him a glass of water, and he drank it gratefully. But when I pulled out my wallet and offered cash for his trouble, he shook his head and stepped back. He explained that the ride had been good exercise. I tried again, pressing the bills into his hand, but he refused once more with a quiet smile. He then got on his bike, and rode off into the sunset, leaving me with the key and a warm heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者为母亲生日购置粉刷橱柜的材料，不慎将钥匙和手机锁在车内，陷入困境。一名热心少年了解情况后，主动骑行长途帮忙取回备用钥匙，且拒绝任何报酬，让作者感受到陌生人善意温暖的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写少年主动提出骑车去取备用钥匙，作者担心路途遥远烈日炎炎极力劝阻，少年依旧坚定出发。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写少年顺利带回钥匙，作者想要给钱表达感谢，少年婉言谢绝，骑车离去，作者内心倍感温暖。 2.续写线索：主动帮忙——作者劝阻——少年坚持——骑车出发——取回钥匙——重金答谢——婉拒报酬——心生温暖 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①摇头：shake one’s head/wag one’s head ②后退：step back/move back 情绪类 ①自信：confidence/self-assurance ②感激：gratefully/thankfully 【点睛】[高分句型1] I protested about the distance and heat, pointing out the steep hills and burning pavement he would face.（运用了现在分词短语pointing...作状语和省略关系词的定语从句） [高分句型2] But when I pulled out my wallet and offered cash for his trouble, he shook his head and stepped back.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高一英语测评 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Born in South Dakota, he moved to Virginia in 2012 and discovered his passion for biomedical engineering early on. “I’ve always loved Virginia Tech,” Stelter said. “Once I toured the department, I was completely impressed. I haven’t had a single regret.” His journey into engineering began in high school. Through a special program, Stelter became fascinated by bioprinting. “We worked with a bioprinter and even printed materials using algae (藻类),” he recalled. “That was my first chance to see that engineering could directly help human health.” Upon arriving at Virginia Tech, Stelter didn’t wait to dive into practical work. During his freshman year, he sought research opportunities and joined the Kim Lab led by Assistant Professor Oleg Kim. “Once I met the lab and the graduate students, I knew it was where I wanted to be,” Stelter said. In the lab, he focused on researching the effects of saliva (唾液) on blood clotting (凝块) mechanics in oral wound healing. His findings were great, discovering that saliva significantly reduces the time required for clot formation. Stelter’s senior design team is also making progress in medical technology. They are developing a specialized nerve conduit (神经导管) designed to help the repair of peripheral nerve injuries. This device serves as a bridge for damaged nerves, effectively promoting natural regrowth. “Instead of relying on nerve grafts (移植), which often only restore about half of motor and sensory function, our goal is to allow the nerve to reconnect, naturally,” Stelter explained. “That could greatly improve recovery.” After graduating in just three years, Stelter has found his true interest in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. He plans to continue his research at Virginia Tech and in the Kim Lab, eventually working toward a Ph. D. to continue making an impact on human health through his dedicated scientific efforts. 4. What initially inspired Stelter’s passion for biomedical engineering? A. His tour of Virginia Tech’s department. B. A desire to improve environment. C. His personal experience with diseases. D. A high school program with bioprinting. 5. What did Stelter discover about saliva in wound healing? A. It slows down blood clotting. B. It shortens the time of clot formation. C. It replaces the need for grafts. D. It assists natural nerve growth. 6. What is the value of the new device? A. It replaces traditional motor functions. B. It simplifies complex graft processes. C. It improves nerves’natural regrowth. D. It contributes to a complete recovery. 7. Which best describes Stelter’s educational journey? A. Physically demanding. B. Eye-opening. C. Financially rewarding. D. Goal-driven. C Human children and adults often follow trends, but this imitation isn’t unique to our species. A new study suggests wild parrots (鹦鹉) learn to try new foods by copying peers. Animals living in urban environments can meet unusual resources, and expanding their diet is crucial in ever-changing cities. However, they are often cautious about unfamiliar, potentially poisonous food. To judge the risks, some animals use social learning by observing others — a strategy rarely studied in the wild. To check if wild parrots use this way, scientists studied over 700 wild cockatoos in five Sydney areas. Two parrots from different places learned to eat blue or red colored nuts. Then a food box with these nuts was put there. After watching the trained parrots eat, other parrots in Balmoral Beach ate the colored nuts within seven minutes. In a third community, where there were no trained cockatoos, it took four days for the parrots to try the novel food items. But after one parrot — who had moved from the Balmoral Beach community — took the risk, 15 other parrots also ate the nuts within 10 minutes. By the end of the experiment, 349 individuals across five areas were eating colored nuts. The researchers also found males were more likely to influence the behavior of other males. Female parrots were more likely to change their behavior based on social information, regardless of the age or sex of the individuals they observed. What’s more interesting is that young parrots always follow others and copy most parrots’ choices. Yet adult ones care more about their social partners’ actions. 8. What does the underlined word “imitation” in the first paragraph mean? A. Seeking social acceptance. B. Protecting their unique identity. C. Adopting habits from parents. D. Learning through observation. 9. How did parrots react after seeing trained ones eat colored nuts? A. They waited for four days. B. They tried them soon. C. They refused the new food. D. They changed their habits. 10. What did the study find about young parrots? A. They learned faster than adults. B. They were braver than adults. C. They followed most other parrots. D. They preferred social partners. 11. What can be inferred about social learning according to the text? A. It helps animals adapt to new environments. B. It belongs to human nature. C. It prevents animals from trying new foods. D. It works equally for male and female birds. D Imagine a robot that could do your laundry, cook your dinner, or stock the dairy section at your local grocery store. Humans have long been able to teach robots how to do individual tasks, but instructing them on these more complex (复杂的) jobs has been a challenging goal, despite billions of dollars invested in robotics. Now, a team of scientists in Switzerland has made progress in the quest to invent helpful robots that can act on complex instructions from humans. A problem that robotics scientists like Sthithpragya Gupta have long battled is that robots cannot do tasks beyond those that they are specifically programmed for. Take tennis as an example. Robots may be able to learn how to hit a backhand shot perfectly. But if conditions change — say, their opponent moves — it all falls apart. Humans have no problem adjusting to these kinds of changes. Teaching a robot how to adapt, though, is much more difficult. Gupta and his colleagues have published a paper showing a new way of teaching robots using machine learning. The approach relies on kinematic (运动学上的) intelligence — a robot’s built-in awareness of how its own body can move safely through space. In a video showing their technology, robots with a single arm watch as a human instructor throws a ball into a small container. The robots then pick up the ball and copy the instructor’s behavior, adapting their own position. Robots are then capable of transferring these skills and knowledge to other robots. “It could be a turning point,” says Robert Platt, who studies robotics at Northeastern University. Platt noted that the field of robotics is not in widespread agreement about the path forward — but most agree the problem these researchers are handling is a critical one. However, this technology poses new questions about ethics (伦理标准). Susan Schneider at Florida Atlantic University points out that later versions of this technology could potentially be weaponized against humans. Future development will need rules. “I think really soon we should have regulatory frameworks on who operates a robot and how,” says Gupta. 12. What problem of robots has long troubled robotics scientists? A. The high costs of programming robots. B. The inability to follow complex tasks. C. The slow response to human orders. D. The lack of certain physical flexibility. 13. How did the Swiss team’s robots show their learning ability in the experiment? A. By correcting mistakes made by humans. B. By competing with human instructors. C. By adapting behavior for their position. D. By perfectly replaying human actions. 14. What can be inferred about the future of this robotic technology? A. It will soon replace human workers. B. Its path forward remains smooth. C. Its main risk is technical breakdown. D. It demands rules for its safe application. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. A breakthrough in adaptable robotics. B. The tough challenges of machine learning. C. Various ethical debates around robots. D. A commercial expectation of service robots. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 Traditions are the heartbeat of human society. ____16____ They are living stories passed down through generations that shape our identity and connect us to our roots. Without them, we risk losing the very essence of what makes us who we are. Therefore, it’s essential to understand why traditions are important. Preserving cultural identity. Traditions act as anchors (锚), reminding communities of their heritage, language, and values in the face of globalization and modernization. For example, Thanksgiving in the U.S. preserves the spirit of gratitude and historical reflection. ____17____ They become disconnected from the stories, music, foods, and values that make them different. ____18____ Traditions are the glue that holds families and communities together. Shared practices create a sense of belonging, offering people the comfort of knowing they are part of something larger. Whether it’s a weekly dinner or an annual reunion, these moments build trust and deepen relationships across generations. Providing a sense of stability and continuity. In times of rapid change, uncertainty, or hardship, traditions provide reassurance. They create a rhythm in life, reminding people that despite challenges, some things remain constant. When we’re under stress, most of us can find comfort in returning to familiar customs. ____19____ Celebrating milestones and achievements.

I spent two hours in a hardware shop, looking for a special old white paint for my mom’s birthday. She hoped to repaint her kitchen cabinets, and I promised to finish it before the family party this weekend. At last I finished buying the things I needed. I took brushes, sandpaper and paint rollers, and then walked out to the parking lot to drive to my mother’s house. The late September sun shone brightly and was really hot. Just then I noticed my keys were left in the car ignition (点火装置) and my phone was on the front passenger seat. My car locked itself after the door was shut. I was in such a hurry that I left all important things inside, with nothing useful in my pocket. I kicked the car tyre (轮胎) and felt really annoyed. Soon a teenager’s voice came. “Is there anything wrong?” he asked. The teenager was about sixteen. He wore a worn baseball cap tilted on his head and a simple grey T-shirt that seemed washed many times. There was a fresh scrape (擦伤) on his right knee, which showed he had fallen down not long before. I told him what had happened, feeling embarrassed about my careless mistake. Unexpectedly, he offered me his phone to call my wife. I smiled sadly and refused. I said my wife was staying home to look after our baby girl, who was just three months old and needed to be fed and taken good care of all the time. She could neither leave the baby nor bring me the spare key, because this car was our only means of transport. It was about six kilometers away from here, and there was no way for us to meet each other. He listened carefully, looking at my worried look, the locked car and then his old bike. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then a slow smile spread across his sunburned cheeks. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ An hour later, he returned with the key. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
