According to it, chips could become more powerful as their parts got smaller. Today, however, making these parts even smaller is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive. To solve this problem, Chinese scientist He Tingbo and her team introduced a new idea called the Tau Scaling Law (韬定律) at a science meeting on May 25, 2026. The word “tau” stands for the time a signal (信号) takes to travel. This new law tries to make signals travel faster inside a chip. Based on this law, a key technology called LogicFolding has been created. It folds circuits and puts them one on top of another, just like turning a flat city into a 3D city. This shortens the distance signals have to travel. With a shorter distance and less time, chips can work faster and better. During the past six years, He Tingbo and her team have designed and produced 381 kinds of chips, meeting the needs of different industries and markets. The new Kirin chips are expected to come out in Fall 2026 and will be the first to use LogicFolding. By 2031, chips with this technology may reach a higher level. Looking ahead, He Tingbo wants to share the Tau Scaling Law and work closely with scientists around the world. Her invitation for international teamwork shows a spirit of shared progress. The success also marks an important step forward in China’s chip technology. 14. In chip design, the word “tau” means ________. A. how small a chip part is B. how many chips are made C. how far a signal needs to travel D. how long a signal takes to travel 15. Which of the following is TRUE about LogicFolding? A. It is created under Moore’s Law. B. It helps signals travel a shorter distance. C. It needs more time to send signals. D. It makes chip parts smaller and smaller. 16. What is the purpose of Paragraph 4? A. To prove Moore’s Law is no longer useful. B. To describe problems in chip development. C. To report the team’s success and future plans. D. To introduce the history of the Tau Scaling Law. 17. What may be the best title for the passage? A. Two Important Laws about Chips B. China’s New Idea of Chip Design C. The Wide Use of 3D Technology D. Six Years of Study on Chip Design C For as long as he could remember, Carl was interested in plants and flowers. He lived in a cottage in the countryside, and all kinds of plants grew in the garden. Carl loved walking through fields and forests with his father. Whenever he saw a flower, he wanted to know its name. “What’s that flower called?” he once asked. “That’s a common wild flower,” his father said. “And look over there! That’s an orchid (兰花)!” One sunny afternoon, Carl’s father showed some guests around the garden. He told them the name of every plant in Latin (拉丁语). For little Carl, those words sounded like poems. From that day on, he wanted to find out the Latin name of every plant too. When Carl was about four years old, his father gave him a special gift—a small square of soil outside the cottage. “That’s your very own garden,” his father said. “You can grow whatever you like in it.” Carl was excited. He went into the woods with his spade (铲子) and brought back new plants for his garden. Then he carefully wrote down their names. A few years later, Carl had to leave home to study in the city. The noisy and crowded city was very different from the quiet countryside. At school, he had to learn subjects he didn’t enjoy. He often looked out of the window or drew pictures of leaves and flowers in his textbooks. One day, Doctor Rothman, a teacher who knew a lot about science and medicine, saw Carl’s drawings. Carl was afraid he would be in trouble. To his surprise, Doctor Rothman looked closely and said, “You’ve got the petals (花瓣) just right. You’re very good at observing things.” Then Doctor Rothman lent Carl books about plants and gave him special lessons, which opened a new door for Carl. The boy who loved plants began to see that his childhood interest could become something a lot bigger. —Adapted from The Plant Kid 18. Why was Carl’s small garden special to him? A. It helped him learn Latin names. B. It gave him a quiet place to draw. C. It was his own place to grow plants. D. It reminded him of fields and forests. 19. Which of the following meanings is suitable for the underlined word “observing”? observe /əbˈzɜːv/ v. 1. to celebrate a festival or a special day: We always observe birthdays at home. 2. to express an opinion about something: “Take your time,” he observed coolly. 3. to follow rules, laws, etc: Everyone should observe the school rules. 4. to watch something or someone carefully: The patients were observed for months. (From the dictionary) A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4. 20. Which of the following shows the correct order in Carl’s story? ① Carl drew pictures of leaves and flowers in his textbooks. ② Carl became interested in the Latin names of plants. ③ Carl received special lessons from Doctor Rothman. ④ Carl collected wild plants to grow in his own garden. A. ④-②-①-③ B. ②-④-①-③ C. ④-②-③-① D. ②-④-③-① 21. What can we learn from Carl’s story? A. Interest grows with good guidance. B. Drawings show children’s talent. C. Quiet places help with learning. D. Books lead children to science. 四、信息还原（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并将选项填涂在答题卡相应的位置上。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever had goosebumps (鸡皮疙瘩)?

Do you always feel stressed (压力大的) and worn out? Luckily, the ancient city of Suzhou leaves room for a slow lifestyle. Walking in the city, you can easily slow down and enjoy peaceful moments. When you walk into the narrow alleys (小巷) beside Pingjiang Road, all the city noise is gone. If you walk along Xiaojia Alley, you will see yellow flowers covering the walls like waterfalls, and old trees climbing up the roofs. In those alleys, people usually walk slowly and talk gently, experiencing the warmth of daily life. As an old poem describes, water spreads everywhere and bridges stand all around. Suzhou has hundreds of old stone bridges. Standing on them, you can watch clear water or look far into the distance. These old bridges invite you to stop and enjoy the beautiful views. You can also find the slow life in tea houses. Comfortable bamboo chairs and nice tea help you rest peacefully. Local people love spending long hours in tea houses, enjoying a free and easy time. Time seems to slow down and all your tiredness goes away. So next time you feel like relaxing, remember — you don’t have to go far. Just take a walk, cross an old bridge, or have a cup of tea and enjoy what’s around you. That’s the special gift of growing up in this ancient city. 49. What can you see if you walk along Xiaojia Alley? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 50. Where can you get a taste of the slow life in Suzhou? (At least two points.) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 51.
