As the first rays of sunlight spread across southwest China’s Xizang Autonomous Region, Tashi Yangzom studied satellite imagery, her eyes quietly tracking shifting weather systems unfolding on the screen. “The weather here is like a child’s changeable face,” said the 60-year-old. “We have to learn to read it.”
Born into a road maintenance worker’s family in Xizang’s Bomi County, Yangzom understood the impact of weather on daily life from a young age. “The weather determined my parents’ daily work — whether to bring an umbrella in the morning, whether construction could proceed in the afternoon and whether the wind would pick up toward evening,” she said, adding that when her parents were working outdoors, her heart would tighten at the sight of dark clouds in the sky.
After graduating from college in 1988, Yangzom became a meteorologist (气象学家) at the regional observatory in Lhasa. Back then, the most advanced equipment was a manually operated satellite image receiver. “The images were unclear, as if we were looking at the mysterious plateau (高原) through frosted glass. Sometimes, to identify an approaching heavy snowfall, we had to work over 10 hours,” she recalled.
In 1997, the worst snowstorm in nearly a century struck northern Xizang. Yangzom and her team moved into the computer room, working around the clock to determine how deep the snow was and how far it extended. After days of adjustments, their self-developed snow monitoring system provided the region’s first-ever snow depth data, enabling authorities to respond in time and prevent loss of life and livestock.
Although Yangzom retired last year, she has been working tirelessly to train the next generation. At her innovation studio, she encourages young professionals to choose their own topics and lead research with funding support. Figures show that the number of surface weather stations in Xizang has increased from 23 in 1965 to 1,284 today, covering all townships.
“My teacher Tashi Yangzom trained me from day one. Young staff like me will carry on her dedication to Xizang’s meteorological work,” one young technician said.
4. How does the author lead in the topic of the text?
A. By giving an example. B. By quoting a celebrity.
C. By presenting a scene. D. By defining a concept.
5. Why does the author mention Yangzom’s childhood memories?
A. To detail the hardships of her family.
B. To explain her early weather awareness.
C. To show her parents’ inspiration to her.
D. To describe the tough climate in Xizang.
6. Which of the following can best describe Yangzom?
A. Talented and sociable. B. Ambitious and modest.
C. Curious and humorous. D. Dedicated and determined.
7. What do the young technician’s words emphasize?
A. The continuity of commitment. B. The importance of cooperation.
C. The demand for modern technology. D. The popularity of meteorology.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A

On Tuesday, a Beijing startup demonstrated humanoid robots carefully picking up litter and sorting flower bunches. The event, hosted by X Square Robot, presented a modest spectacle (场面) compared to the industry’s usual performance of robots that can run, flip, and dance. Yet, it showed a significant shift: Chinese companies like X Square Robot are now focused on proving the practical value humanoids can bring to the messy, unpredictable environments of everyday life, rather than just their stage capabilities.
“The hardware (硬件) is largely there,” said Wang Qian, chief executive of startup X Square Robot. “But the brain hasn’t caught up.” Chinese humanoid robots can complete half-marathons faster than outstanding athletes, but tasks that seem simple to the average human — tidying a messy room, loading a dishwasher, or folding clothes — remain stubbornly hard for these machines.
“Why don’t marathon robots face this challenge? Because what they mainly deal with is a constant gravitational field,” said Wang. “But when we handle things with our hands, if we are off by 0.1 millimeters, the whole task may fail.” Repetitive actions such as running only require a robot to be trained on a relatively simple dataset. Navigating (管理) a household, where no task is ever exactly the same, requires a much more complicated “brain” that can allow a machine to perceive gravity and light like human beings.
Last month, X Square Robot partnered with a service platform that allowed users in Shenzhen to book a professional human cleaner and one of the company’s home-cleaning robots. The robots have served over 50 households so far.
While consumer feedback (反馈) has been mainly that the machine is slow and awkward, Wang argues that only by entering real households can the robots improve their ability to perform simple tasks. “Sometimes it may stop to ’think’ halfway while cleaning a table,” Wang said, adding that whenever the robot breaks down or fails to complete a task, a company employee will step in remotely.
Wang pointed out that once the technology matures and robots become reliable household helpers, the potential market size would be vast.
8. What message did the event mainly deliver about humanoid robots?
A. A change to their applications. B. The great need for better hardware.
C. Their amazing stage performance. D. Their efficiency in litter management.
9. Why are household tasks harder for robots?
A. They involve varying situations. B. They happen in stable gravity.
C. They demand human guidance. D. They need greater running speed.
10. What is Wang’s view on the users’ feedback?
A. It focuses on poor after-sales service.
B. It reveals a design problem of the robot.
C. It is a necessary step for progress.
D. It shows the maturity of AI technology.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. The hardware limits robot development.
B. A startup leads global robot innovation.
C. Chinese robots turn to practical home use.
D. Big markets drive robot-tech upgrading.

Navigating a household, where no task is ever exactly the same, requires a much more complicated “brain” that can allow a machine to perceive gravity and light like human beings.(跑步这类重复动作只需机器人依托简单数据集训练;但处理居家事务时,每项任务场景都不完全相同,这就需要更复杂的“大脑”,让机器像人类一样感知重力、光线。)”可知,家务任务场景多变,因此对机器人而言难度更大。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“While consumer feedback (反馈) has been mainly that the machine is slow and awkward, Wang argues that only by entering real households can the robots improve their ability to perform simple tasks.(尽管用户反馈大多是机器人动作缓慢、笨拙,但王乾认为只有走进真实家庭,机器人才能提升完成简单任务的能力。)”可知,在王乾看来,这些用户反馈、实地试用是技术进步必经的过程。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Chinese companies like X Square Robot are now focused on proving the practical value humanoids can bring to the messy, unpredictable environments of everyday life, rather than just their stage capabilities.(像方星机器人这类中国企业不再只展示机器人舞台特技,转而挖掘其在日常生活中的实用价值。)”,再结合后文企业推出家用清洁机器人、投入家庭实地测试等内容可知,文章核心讲述中国人形机器人开始转向居家实际应用研发与落地。

NASA’s Perseverance rover (火星车) has spent over three years exploring Mars’ Jezero Crater (陨石坑). In a new study, a team has used Perseverance’s data to show three chemically distinct rock formations in the crater share a surprisingly similar mineral fingerprint — whose origins appear to be closely tied to the presence of liquid water on ancient Mars.
During its time on the Martian surface, Perseverance has identified three key mineral formations. While rocks formed from solidified magma (岩浆) sit both on the floor of the Jezero Crater and at its boundary, sedimentary (沉积的) formations in its western reaches were likely transported and left by flowing water in Mars’ distant past. However, all these formations share a strikingly consistent set of minerals, whose formation typically requires water.
To study these formations in detail, Clavé’s team drew on data from Perseverance’s SuperCam instrument, a remote-sensing tool that can scrutinize rocks from several meters away using multiple laser-based techniques. By firing laser pulses at individual rock targets, SuperCam can determine the elemental composition of a surface and identify the specific minerals present, with no need for the rover to get into physical contact. This approach allowed the researchers to build up a consistent picture of the mineralogy across all three of the formations examined by Perseverance.
The team’s central finding concerns minerals containing carbon and oxygen. Present in all three formations, these carbonates make up as much as 16% of the rock by weight. The researchers argue that these carbonates formed through a chemical reaction between the rocks and carbon dioxide. This process would have been driven by the presence of liquid water, including hot water circulating through the crust, as well as the lake that once filled Jezero Crater.
The influences reach well beyond Jezero. If rocks across the Martian surface really underwent a similar carbonation process, they may collectively have locked away a substantial amount of carbon over time — effectively drawing carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
In addition, Clavé’s team suggests that this could have contributed to the dramatic cooling of Mars, which transformed it from a potentially habitable, water-rich world into the cold, dry planet we observe today.
12. What can be learned about the three formations?
A. They sit in the center of the crater.
B. They have a common mineral makeup.
C. They were not discovered for the first time.
D. They were the result of magma solidification.
13. What does the underlined word “scrutinize” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Clean. B. Break. C. Examine. D. Collect.
14. What broader impact might the finding have?
A. It proves ancient Martian life.
B. It may explain Mars’ climate shift.
C. It enriches Earth’s mineral study.
D. It may advance the rover’s improvement.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Jezero Crater’s Past B. A Rover’s Mission on Mars
C. Water on Ancient Mars D. Water-Linked Minerals in Martian Rocks
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文借助毅力号火星车探测数据,介绍杰泽罗陨石坑三类岩石含同源水成碳酸盐矿物,该碳化过程吸收二氧化碳,或是火星由温暖湿润变为寒冷干旱的原因。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In a new study, a team has used Perseverance’s data to show three chemically distinct rock formations in the crater share a surprisingly similar mineral fingerprint — whose origins appear to be closely tied to the presence of liquid water on ancient Mars. (一项新研究中,科研团队借助“毅力号”火星探测器传回的数据发现,该陨石坑内三种化学成分截然不同的岩层,却拥有惊人相似的矿物特征;这些矿物的形成源头,似乎与远古火星上液态水的存在密切相关。)”以及第二段“However, all these formations share a strikingly consistent set of minerals, whose formation typically requires water. (然而,所有这些岩层都含有一套高度相似的矿物,而这类矿物的形成通常离不开水。)”可知,这三种岩层拥有相同的矿物组成。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“To study these formations in detail, Clavé’s team drew on data from Perseverance’s SuperCam instrument, a remote-sensing tool that can scrutinize rocks from several meters away using multiple laser-based techniques. By firing laser pulses at individual rock targets, SuperCam can determine the elemental composition of a surface and identify the specific minerals present, with no need for the rover to get into physical contact. (为细致研究这些岩层,克拉维团队利用了毅力号搭载的超级相机仪器获取的数据。超级相机是一款遥感探测设备,可依托多种激光技术,在数米之外细致scrutinize岩石。它向单独的岩石样本发射激光脉冲,无需探测车近距离接触,就能测定岩石表面的元素构成,并识别其中含有的各类矿物。)”可知,后文讲述设备检测分析岩石的功能,由此推断scrutinize意为“检测、仔细查看”,对应Examine。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In addition, Clavé’s team suggests that this could have contributed to the dramatic cooling of Mars, which transformed it from a potentially habitable, water-rich world into the cold, dry planet we observe today. (克拉维团队提出,这一碳化过程促使火星大幅降温,让原本宜居、水资源丰富的星球变成如今寒冷干燥的模样。)”可知,该发现能够解释火星巨大的气候变化。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文特别是根据第一段“In a new study, a team has used Perseverance’s data to show three chemically distinct rock formations in the crater share a surprisingly similar mineral fingerprint — whose origins appear to be closely tied to the presence of liquid water on ancient Mars. (一项新研究中,科研团队借助“毅力号”火星探测器传回的数据发现,该陨石坑内三种化学成分截然不同的岩层,却拥有惊人相似的矿物特征;这些矿物的形成源头,似乎与远古火星上液态水的存在密切相关。)”可知,全文围绕火星杰泽罗陨石坑岩石中与水相关的矿物展开,介绍矿物探测方式、形成原理以及对火星气候的影响,因此D选项“Water-Linked Minerals in Martian Rocks (火星岩石中与水相关的矿物)”最贴合全文核心。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When people get ready to grow plants in gardens, they usually focus on sowing seeds. In nature, seeds seem to grow without fixed rules, yet their germination (发芽) actually depends on specific conditions. ____16____ So figuring out what your seeds need will help raise germination rates and cut down waste.
____17____ Yet they are packed with genetic information and biological processes ready to unfold. All it takes is the right signals and stimuli from the environment to let them know it’s time to grow.
The most vital requirement for most germination is water. ____18____ But actually, too much water causes the seed to rot (腐烂) before this can happen, while too little keeps it inactive. Some seeds have an especially hard seed coat, which can be dealt with through “damaging” the coat with a sharp knife. In this way, a grower can ensure water can find its way below. You can also leave seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing.
The other main consideration for germination is temperature. ____19____ Most seeds have an ideal range, outside of which they will not germinate. For example, when sowing chillies, you should place them on a heat mat, as they need an environment around 21°C. Although it’s possible to get them to germinate at lower temperatures, the results are less reliable.
Similarly, some seeds won’t germinate if it is too hot. Seeds from plants that flower, drop their seeds to overwinter and sprout the following spring have evolved to expect a period of wintry weather before they germinate. As for this, creating winter conditions for your seeds could lead to better results. This can be as simple as putting them in the fridge, and storing them for between a couple of weeks and a couple of months. ____20____
A. The exact time depends on their needs.
B. Watering freshly sown seeds seems simple.
C. Different seeds require different conditions.
D. To an unimaginative eye, seeds look lifeless.
E. It’s best to avoid watering when the sunlight is too intense.
F. It is of great significance to choose the proper place to store your seeds.
G. Plenty of new gardeners underestimate its impact when sowing their seeds.

【18题详解】
由上文“The most vital requirement for most germination is water.(大多数种子发芽最关键的条件是水分。)”以及下文“But actually, too much water causes the seed to rot (腐烂) before this can happen, while too little keeps it inactive.(但实际上,水分过多会让种子腐烂,水分过少种子又无法苏醒。)”可知,空格处铺垫浇水这件事看似简单,后文转折讲控水难点。B项 “Watering freshly sown seeds seems simple.(给刚播种的种子浇水看似简单。)”符合语境,与下文but构成转折,有承上作用。
【19题详解】
由下文“Most seeds have an ideal range, outside of which they will not germinate.(大多数种子都有适宜温度区间,超出区间便无法发芽。)”可知,空格处说明很多园艺新手忽视温度对发芽的影响。G项“Plenty of new gardeners underestimate its impact when sowing their seeds.(很多新手播种时低估了温度带来的影响。)”符合语境,其中its指代temperature,有启下作用。
【20题详解】
由上文“This can be as simple as putting them in the fridge, and storing them for between a couple of weeks and a couple of months.(只需把种子放进冰箱冷藏几周至数月即可。)”可知,空格处说明冷藏时长的决定因素。A项“The exact time depends on their needs.(准确时长取决于种子自身需求。)”符合语境,其中their指代seeds,有承上作用。

38. a 39. times
40. compared
41. has risen
42. which 43. are priced
44. availability
45. welcoming
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲的是24小时水疗(24-hour spas)在中国成为受外国游客欢迎的新兴沉浸式文化体验趋势,并在社交媒体上走红。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:随着赴华旅行日益流行,国际游客不再满足于观光游览,而是追求更沉浸式的日常文化体验,24小时水疗中心因此在社交媒体上成为热门趋势。空格处表示“作为一种热门趋势”,空格处意为“作为”,用介词as。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:“中国水疗中心是真正可以闲逛、放松几个小时的地方,而不仅仅是来了享受一次就走。”一位外国游客耶米说道。空格处用副词truly修饰动词短语hang out,truly表示“真正地”。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他最近参观了北京一家24小时营业的水疗中心,在那里,客人只需花费约50美元,就能无限畅享水果、饮品、冰淇淋和爆米花,以及各种水疗服务。a variety of是固定短语,意为“各种各样的”。
【39题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:加拿大游客邱祎然表示,她自己已经多次回到水疗中心。time是可数名词,空前有multiple,空格处用复数。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她还尝试了刮痧这种传统中医疗法,她形容这与家乡的治疗方式相比是一种全新的体验。句中谓语是described,空格处用非谓语动词,a traditional Chinese treatment和compare之间是被动关系,此处用过去分词表被动,作状语。
【41题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:据北京一家水疗中心的工作人员称,自2025年底以来,外国游客数量增长了50%,每天都有数十人前来。由since可知,句子时态用现在完成时,主语the number of是单数,因此空格处是has risen。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:爱尔兰内容创作者特拉维斯·莱昂发布了一段关于成都24小时水疗中心的视频,获得了957万次观看,线上热度极高。空格处引导非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词video是物,因此用关系代词which引导定语从句。
【43题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:他在视频中表示,自己花费35美元享受了成都水疗中心的全部服务,并指出在那里过夜的价格比酒店房间更便宜。stays和price之间是逻辑动宾关系,句子描述客观事实,因此空格处用一般现在时的被动语态,主语stays是复数,因此空格处是are priced。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:线上反响热烈,一些用户将费用与月租金相比较,另一些人则指出类似场所在中国各地广泛存在。widespread是形容词,修饰名词,available的名词是availability,意为“可用性,可得性”,是不可数名词。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:尽管存在语言障碍,但游客表示员工热情友好且乐于助人,这有助于营造出整体积极的体验。空格处用形容词作表语,welcome的形容词是welcoming,意为“热情款待的”。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Avant was only six years old when he first heard his grandmother’s long-held dream. For years, Heller, the grandmother, had watched countless movies featuring prom (毕业舞会) scenes, longing to experience such a grand gathering in person one day. Young Avant took her sincere wish seriously and made a firm promise that he would invite her to attend his own high school prom when the day came.
But as the years passed, heavy schoolwork and daily chores gradually got in the way. The promise began to feel like a distant memory. When Avant entered his third year of high school, he had nearly forgotten all about it.
One evening, Avant walked past his grandmother’s room and saw her watching a prom scene from a movie. She was smiling softly at the screen, but there was something sad in her eyes. Deeply touched by her hidden longing, his heart was filled with guilt instantly. That night, Avant lay awake, thinking. The promise came back to him, clear and sharp. He decided not to let it slip away again. His own prom was just a month ahead, but he could just manage to afford a formal suit for himself, with no money left to buy a lovely dress for his grandma. Faced with such a problem, he resolved to do everything he could to fulfill this promise.
He began to take various extra part-time jobs after school and even on weekends, no matter how tough the work was. He put every penny he earned into a small box beneath his bed. Whenever tiredness overwhelmed him and he felt like giving up, he would think of his grandmother’s gentle face as she watched that movie scene-and he pushed himself a little harder to stick to his goal.
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。
Day by day, Avant’s small money box grew heavier.

With all preparations ready, Heller and Avant waited for the big day eagerly.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Day by day, Avant’s small money box grew heavier. Finally, after weeks of doing part-time jobs, Avant saved enough money for a fancy dress for his grandma. He secretly picked out a graceful gown that suited Heller perfectly and prepared delicate matching accessories. Upon seeing the beautiful dress and learning about all his efforts, Heller was overwhelmed with joy and emotion, with tears of happiness rolling down her cheeks. She tried on the gown carefully, her eyes sparkling with excitement and gratitude.
With all preparations ready, Heller and Avant waited for the big day eagerly. On the big night, Heller looked elegant and radiant in her new dress. They stepped into the dance floor hand in hand, surrounded by soft music and warm lights. As they danced slowly together, all the others smiled warmly at them. A surge of excitement welled up inside Heller, as her long-cherished dream finally came true. Avant fulfilled his childhood promise with perseverance, proving that sincere love can make even the oldest wishes shine brightly.

A
Over the past two decades, digital technology has influenced teenagers’ reading lives. This report, based on the Annual Literacy Survey (data since 2005, focusing on 2017 — 2025), examines their print and digital reading patterns by age, gender, socio-economic background and reading enjoyment.
KEY FINDINGS
• Print reading continues to dominate, particularly for fiction (shown in the following chart), but reading digitally has already settled well into the daily routines of young people.
Fiction Reading Proportion (2017 — 2025)
Year
Print Fiction Reading (ages 8 — 18)
Digital Fiction Reading (ages 8 — 18)
2017
59.5%
19.9%
2025
49.3%
22.2%
• Teenagers who love reading prefer print or both formats, while digital reading is especially important for less-engaged readers, boys and those from lower-income backgrounds.
• Reading of digital-only materials (e.g. messages, websites and social media) has fallen sharply since 2023, alongside wider shifts towards more visual and AI-driven content.
• Though digital devices are often seen as a threat to reading, they can act as a gateway to reading for many young people; print remains central and supports effective reading across formats.
The key challenge is to build inclusive reading cultures that value diverse reading patterns and ensure all teenagers can develop beneficial sustained reading practices, regardless of formats. The report findings support the principles of the National Year of Reading, validating (认可) teenagers’ contemporary experiences of reading and encouraging them to dive into their passion through reading in whatever way that works for them.
1. What does the report focus on?
A. The role of print books in schools.
B. Digital reading trends in the past decades.
C. Social media’s impact on teenagers.
D. The reading habits and formats of teenagers.
2. What can be inferred from the chart?

C. Most teenagers prefer a mixed reading pattern.
D. Reading enjoyment has grown sharply recently.
3. What does the report suggest about reading?
A. Accept all reading patterns.
B. Update kids’ reading lists regularly.
C. Prioritize print over digital reading.
D. Set time limits on kids’ digital reading.
B
As the first rays of sunlight spread across southwest China’s Xizang Autonomous Region, Tashi Yangzom studied satellite imagery, her eyes quietly tracking shifting weather systems unfolding on the screen. “The weather here is like a child’s changeable face,” said the 60-year-old. “We have to learn to read it.”
Born into a road maintenance worker’s family in Xizang’s Bomi County, Yangzom understood the impact of weather on daily life from a young age. “The weather determined my parents’ daily work — whether to bring an umbrella in the morning, whether construction could proceed in the afternoon and whether the wind would pick up toward evening,” she said, adding that when her parents were working outdoors, her heart would tighten at the sight of dark clouds in the sky.
After graduating from college in 1988, Yangzom became a meteorologist (气象学家) at the regional observatory in Lhasa. Back then, the most advanced equipment was a manually operated satellite image receiver. “The images were unclear, as if we were looking at the mysterious plateau (高原) through frosted glass. Sometimes, to identify an approaching heavy snowfall, we had to work over 10 hours,” she recalled.
In 1997, the worst snowstorm in nearly a century struck northern Xizang. Yangzom and her team moved into the computer room, working around the clock to determine how deep the snow was and how far it extended. After days of adjustments, their self-developed snow monitoring system provided the region’s first-ever snow depth data, enabling authorities to respond in time and prevent loss of life and livestock.
Although Yangzom retired last year, she has been working tirelessly to train the next generation. At her innovation studio, she encourages young professionals to choose their own topics and lead research with funding support. Figures show that the number of surface weather stations in Xizang has increased from 23 in 1965 to 1,284 today, covering all townships.
“My teacher Tashi Yangzom trained me from day one. Young staff like me will carry on her dedication to Xizang’s meteorological work,” one young technician said.
4. How does the author lead in the topic of the text?
A. By giving an example. B. By quoting a celebrity.
C. By presenting a scene. D. By defining a concept.
5. Why does the author mention Yangzom’s childhood memories?
A. To detail the hardships of her family.
B. To explain her early weather awareness.
C. To show her parents’ inspiration to her.
D. To describe the tough climate in Xizang.
6. Which of the following can best describe Yangzom?
A. Talented and sociable. B. Ambitious and modest.
C. Curious and humorous. D. Dedicated and determined.
7. What do the young technician’s words emphasize?
A. The continuity of commitment. B. The importance of cooperation.
C. The demand for modern technology. D. The popularity of meteorology.
C
On Tuesday, a Beijing startup demonstrated humanoid robots carefully picking up litter and sorting flower bunches. The event, hosted by X Square Robot, presented a modest spectacle (场面) compared to the industry’s usual performance of robots that can run, flip, and dance. Yet, it showed a significant shift: Chinese companies like X Square Robot are now focused on proving the practical value humanoids can bring to the messy, unpredictable environments of everyday life, rather than just their stage capabilities.
“The hardware (硬件) is largely there,” said Wang Qian, chief executive of startup X Square Robot. “But the brain hasn’t caught up.” Chinese humanoid robots can complete half-marathons faster than outstanding athletes, but tasks that seem simple to the average human — tidying a messy room, loading a dishwasher, or folding clothes — remain stubbornly hard for these machines.
“Why don’t marathon robots face this challenge? Because what they mainly deal with is a constant gravitational field,” said Wang. “But when we handle things with our hands, if we are off by 0.1 millimeters, the whole task may fail.” Repetitive actions such as running only require a robot to be trained on a relatively simple dataset. Navigating (管理) a household, where no task is ever exactly the same, requires a much more complicated “brain” that can allow a machine to perceive gravity and light like human beings.
Last month, X Square Robot partnered with a service platform that allowed users in Shenzhen to book a professional human cleaner and one of the company’s home-cleaning robots. The robots have served over 50 households so far.
While consumer feedback (反馈) has been mainly that the machine is slow and awkward, Wang argues that only by entering real households can the robots improve their ability to perform simple tasks. “Sometimes it may stop to ’think’ halfway while cleaning a table,” Wang said, adding that whenever the robot breaks down or fails to complete a task, a company employee will step in remotely.
Wang pointed out that once the technology matures and robots become reliable household helpers, the potential market size would be vast.
8. What message did the event mainly deliver about humanoid robots?
A. A change to their applications. B. The great need for better hardware.
C. Their amazing stage performance. D. Their efficiency in litter management.
9. Why are household tasks harder for robots?
A. They involve varying situations. B. They happen in stable gravity.
C. They demand human guidance. D. They need greater running speed.
10. What is Wang’s view on the users’ feedback?
A. It focuses on poor after-sales service.
B. It reveals a design problem of the robot.

NASA’s Perseverance rover (火星车) has spent over three years exploring Mars’ Jezero Crater (陨石坑). In a new study, a team has used Perseverance’s data to show three chemically distinct rock formations in the crater share a surprisingly similar mineral fingerprint — whose origins appear to be closely tied to the presence of liquid water on ancient Mars.
During its time on the Martian surface, Perseverance has identified three key mineral formations. While rocks formed from solidified magma (岩浆) sit both on the floor of the Jezero Crater and at its boundary, sedimentary (沉积的) formations in its western reaches were likely transported and left by flowing water in Mars’ distant past. However, all these formations share a strikingly consistent set of minerals, whose formation typically requires water.
To study these formations in detail, Clavé’s team drew on data from Perseverance’s SuperCam instrument, a remote-sensing tool that can scrutinize rocks from several meters away using multiple laser-based techniques. By firing laser pulses at individual rock targets, SuperCam can determine the elemental composition of a surface and identify the specific minerals present, with no need for the rover to get into physical contact. This approach allowed the researchers to build up a consistent picture of the mineralogy across all three of the formations examined by Perseverance.
The team’s central finding concerns minerals containing carbon and oxygen. Present in all three formations, these carbonates make up as much as 16% of the rock by weight. The researchers argue that these carbonates formed through a chemical reaction between the rocks and carbon dioxide. This process would have been driven by the presence of liquid water, including hot water circulating through the crust, as well as the lake that once filled Jezero Crater.
The influences reach well beyond Jezero. If rocks across the Martian surface really underwent a similar carbonation process, they may collectively have locked away a substantial amount of carbon over time — effectively drawing carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
In addition, Clavé’s team suggests that this could have contributed to the dramatic cooling of Mars, which transformed it from a potentially habitable, water-rich world into the cold, dry planet we observe today.
12. What can be learned about the three formations?
A. They sit in the center of the crater.
B. They have a common mineral makeup.
C. They were not discovered for the first time.
D. They were the result of magma solidification.
13. What does the underlined word “scrutinize” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Clean. B. Break. C. Examine. D. Collect.
14. What broader impact might the finding have?
A. It proves ancient Martian life.
B. It may explain Mars’ climate shift.
C. It enriches Earth’s mineral study.
D. It may advance the rover’s improvement.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Jezero Crater’s Past B. A Rover’s Mission on Mars
C. Water on Ancient Mars D. Water-Linked Minerals in Martian Rocks

When people get ready to grow plants in gardens, they usually focus on sowing seeds. In nature, seeds seem to grow without fixed rules, yet their germination (发芽) actually depends on specific conditions. ____16____ So figuring out what your seeds need will help raise germination rates and cut down waste.
____17____ Yet they are packed with genetic information and biological processes ready to unfold. All it takes is the right signals and stimuli from the environment to let them know it’s time to grow.
The most vital requirement for most germination is water. ____18____ But actually, too much water causes the seed to rot (腐烂) before this can happen, while too little keeps it inactive. Some seeds have an especially hard seed coat, which can be dealt with through “damaging” the coat with a sharp knife. In this way, a grower can ensure water can find its way below. You can also leave seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing.
The other main consideration for germination is temperature. ____19____ Most seeds have an ideal range, outside of which they will not germinate. For example, when sowing chillies, you should place them on a heat mat, as they need an environment around 21°C. Although it’s possible to get them to germinate at lower temperatures, the results are less reliable.
Similarly, some seeds won’t germinate if it is too hot. Seeds from plants that flower, drop their seeds to overwinter and sprout the following spring have evolved to expect a period of wintry weather before they germinate. As for this, creating winter conditions for your seeds could lead to better results. This can be as simple as putting them in the fridge, and storing them for between a couple of weeks and a couple of months. ____20____
A. The exact time depends on their needs.
B. Watering freshly sown seeds seems simple.
C. Different seeds require different conditions.
D. To an unimaginative eye, seeds look lifeless.
E. It’s best to avoid watering when the sunlight is too intense.
F. It is of great significance to choose the proper place to store your seeds.
G. Plenty of new gardeners underestimate its impact when sowing their seeds.

Avant was only six years old when he first heard his grandmother’s long-held dream. For years, Heller, the grandmother, had watched countless movies featuring prom (毕业舞会) scenes, longing to experience such a grand gathering in person one day. Young Avant took her sincere wish seriously and made a firm promise that he would invite her to attend his own high school prom when the day came.
But as the years passed, heavy schoolwork and daily chores gradually got in the way. The promise began to feel like a distant memory. When Avant entered his third year of high school, he had nearly forgotten all about it.
One evening, Avant walked past his grandmother’s room and saw her watching a prom scene from a movie. She was smiling softly at the screen, but there was something sad in her eyes. Deeply touched by her hidden longing, his heart was filled with guilt instantly. That night, Avant lay awake, thinking. The promise came back to him, clear and sharp. He decided not to let it slip away again. His own prom was just a month ahead, but he could just manage to afford a formal suit for himself, with no money left to buy a lovely dress for his grandma. Faced with such a problem, he resolved to do everything he could to fulfill this promise.
He began to take various extra part-time jobs after school and even on weekends, no matter how tough the work was. He put every penny he earned into a small box beneath his bed. Whenever tiredness overwhelmed him and he felt like giving up, he would think of his grandmother’s gentle face as she watched that movie scene-and he pushed himself a little harder to stick to his goal.
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。
Day by day, Avant’s small money box grew heavier.
