Unlike playing an instrument or writing a novel, designing and building a livable structure requires not merely imagination, but also innovative ideas and craftsmanship. We decide to take a look at some of the most amazing buildings around the world and show just how beautiful they are. Have you ever visited any of these places? Forbidden City, China Built from 1406 to 1420, it is a masterpiece of ancient Chinese architecture. It was originally the palace for the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It housed 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties and now numerous cultural treasures are displayed in it. Vienna Opera House, Austria In 1920, the Vienna Opera House was renamed the Vienna State Opera. At first, the structure was constructed in 1869 as part of the city’s expansion plans earlier that decade. The Neo-Renaissance structure was designed by a well-known Czech architect named Josef Hlávka. Louvre Palace, France This famous Parisian museum was first built in 1204 for defence, and then under Charles V it became a royal palace where most French rulers stayed when in the city. It remained an accommodation for the royal family until 1793, when most of the building was opened to the public as a museum. Catherine Palace, Russia This unimaginably splendid palace, constructed in 1717, was once the summer getaway of Russia’s Catherine I. Since then additions have been attached, and the shining statues on the structure’s roof were crafted using 100 kilograms of solid gold. 1. What does the author think of architecture? A. It improves the living standard of people. B. It is less imaginative than writing a novel. C. It is an art form perfected by many people. D. It needs both innovation and practical skills. 2. What can we learn about Vienna Opera House? A. It adopted different names. B. It was expanded in 1869. C. It was possessed by Hlávka. D. It used to act as a palace. 3. Which building has the longest history? A. Forbidden City. B. Louvre Palace. C. Vienna Opera House. D. Catherine Palace. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了几处世界最美建筑。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Architecture has always been a form of art perfected by few, yet appreciated by many. Unlike playing an instrument or writing a novel, designing and building a livable structure requires not merely imagination, but also innovative ideas and craftsmanship.(建筑向来是一门由少数人打磨至臻、却能被大众共赏的艺术形式。与演奏乐器、撰写小说不同，设计并建造一座适宜人居的建筑，不只需要想象力，更离不开创新构思与精湛工艺。)”可知，作者认为建筑既需要创新思维，也离不开实操技能。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Vienna Opera House, Austria部分“In 1920, the Vienna Opera House was renamed the Vienna State Opera.(1920年，维也纳歌剧院更名为维也纳国家歌剧院。)”可知，关于维也纳歌剧院我们能得知它拥有过不同名字。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Forbidden City, China部分“Built from 1406 to 1420, it is a masterpiece of ancient Chinese architecture.(它始建于 1406 年，竣工于 1420 年，是中国古代建筑的经典杰作。)”，Vienna Opera House, Austria部分“At first, the structure was constructed in 1869 as part of the city’s expansion plans earlier that decade.(这座建筑最初建于 1869 年，是该十年前期城市扩建规划的一部分。)”，Louvre Palace, France部分“This famous Parisian museum was first built in 1204 for defence, and then under Charles V it became a royal palace where most French rulers stayed when in the city.(这座知名巴黎博物馆始建于 1204 年，最初用于军事防御；查理五世时期，这里被改建为王宫，法国绝大多数君主在巴黎时都居住于此。)”和Catherine Palace, Russia部分“This unimaginably splendid palace, constructed in 1717, was once the summer getaway of Russia’s Catherine I.(这座华美得超乎想象的宫殿始建于 1717 年，曾是俄国叶卡捷琳娜一世的夏日避暑行宫。)”可知，卢浮宫修建年份最早，历史最久。 B Due to a rare disease, 17-year-old Noah Cervantes has difficulty using conventional toys. His mother Danielle Jackson found adapted toys online, but they cost over $100 each. She then searched for a local organization and connected with Michael Dicpinigaitis, a Cornell student who founded the Big Red Adaptive Play and Design Initiative (APDI). The group trained students to adapt toys for children with disabilities. At first, only a few students worked on adapting toys. But since 2021, more than 100 volunteers have joined, building a large lending library available to nine local schools and recovery centers. “It’s amazing to have people so invested in your kid gaining independence and enjoying life,” Jackson said, “You don’t realize what disabled kids miss when they can’t even dress themselves or open their own lunchboxes.” Dicpinigaitis began this work in high school after seeing a video of a child with cerebral palsy (脑瘫) playing independently with an adapted toy. He taught himself to adapt toys and wanted to continue the service at Cornell. Recently, the group has shifted from general toy adaptation to tailoring solutions for individual needs. On March 24, they worked with Ithaca College to adapt battery-powered toy cars for four children with mobility difficulties. For these children, APDI brings light to their life. The adapted toys mean more than toys — they represent being together with ordinary children. Jackson said the toys allowed Noah and his brothers and sisters to play together for the first time. “Before, someone had to sit with him and assist him through. Now they all do the same thing,” she said. Kelly Clark, a psychologist guiding the group, said, “We want to make sure kids with disabilities have access to everything the rest do.” The group now designs 3D-printed aids for communication devices and daily duties. They plan to become an official Cornell Engineering team to ensure their mission continues. 4. What made Jackson turn to APDI? A. Her son’s dislike of traditional toys. B. The prices of specially designed toys. C. Her son’s difficulty in adapting toys. D. The fame of Dicpinigaitis in medicine. 5. Which word can best describe Dicpinigaitis? A. Reputation-driven. B. Profit-seeking. C. Community-caring. D. Detail-focused. 6. What can we learn about APDI? A. It helps children feel included. B. It benefits the disability recovery. C. It contributes to kids’ dependence. D. It specializes in general adaptation. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A mother’s effort to find a tailored cure. B. A Cornell student’s path to starting a business. C. An approach to promoting unconventional toys. D. An organization adapting toys for disabled kids. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了康奈尔学生迈克尔创立的公益组织APDI。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“His mother Danielle Jackson found adapted toys online, but they cost over $100 each. She then searched for a local organization and connected with Michael Dicpinigaitis, a Cornell student who founded the Big Red Adaptive Play and Design Initiative (APDI).(他的母亲丹妮尔・杰克逊在网上找到了适配改造后的专用玩具，但这类玩具每件售价超过100美元。随后她搜寻本地公益机构，联系上了康奈尔大学学生迈克尔・迪奇皮尼盖蒂斯，他创办了“大红适配玩乐设计计划（APDI）”。)”可知，定制专用玩具价格高昂让杰克逊求助APDI。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“She then searched for a local organization and connected with Michael Dicpinigaitis, a Cornell student who founded the Big Red Adaptive Play and Design Initiative (APDI).(随后她搜寻本地公益机构，联系上了康奈尔大学学生迈克尔・迪奇皮尼盖蒂斯，他创办了“大红适配玩乐设计计划（APDI）”)，第二段“The group trained students to adapt toys for children with disabilities.(该组织培训学生为残障儿童改造玩具。)”和第四段“He taught himself to adapt toys and wanted to continue the service at Cornell.(他自学玩具改造技术，并希望进入康奈尔大学后继续开展这项公益服务。)”可知，他自发创办公益志愿项目，无偿帮助残障儿童，是热心社区公益的人。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The adapted toys mean more than toys — they represent being together with ordinary children. Jackson said the toys allowed Noah and his brothers and sisters to play together for the first time.(改造后的玩具早已不只是玩具——它代表着能和普通孩子一样融入集体。杰克逊说，有了改造玩具，诺亚第一次能和兄弟姐妹一同玩耍。)”和“We want to make sure kids with disabilities have access to everything the rest do(我们希望确保残障儿童能和其他孩子一样，平等享有所有资源与机会。)”可知，关于 APDI 我们能得知它帮助残障孩子获得归属感、融入集体。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕组织APDI展开，介绍其创立初衷、志愿规模、改造玩具的服务、服务意义、未来规划。由此可知，文章主旨是一个为残障儿童改造玩具的公益组织。 C Ask people for the greatest poets of all time, and William Shakespeare’s name will appear. Regarded as a “creative genius,” he stands as a symbol of literary greatness and poetic grace. Interestingly, this suggests a link between creativity and poetry. Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) note, “Participating in mentally challenging activities can encourage people to break away from fixed thinking. When we read poetry, we are exercising our interpretive skills.” In their research, participants were asked to read poems in both the original form and a rewritten version. The more complicated versions created more dramatic responses in the brain. They stress that songs, greeting card messages, and books read to children also work as examples of everyday poetry that can stimulate creative thinking. Malgorzata Osowiecka studied how reading poetry affected creativity. The participants were divided into two groups. Individuals in the first group were distributed poems; those in the second group were tasked with non-poetic texts. Before and after the reading, participants were tested on their levels of divergent (发散的) thinking. Those in the first group showed increased fluency, imagination and flexibility, while the other participants, a control group, displayed a decrease in fluency and originality. Novelist Katrina Case notes that the creation of poetry is at the heart of her personal creativity, helping her unlock ideas and emotions. Composing poetic pieces gives her “the creative boost to return to more significant projects with renewed energy.” Beverly Read, a lifelong poet and author, believes that those who write poems can create a connection between ideas and words. They give themselves the opportunity to select from millions of words to string several of them together, thus creating something vivid to be seen in the mind. The injection (注入) of poetry into our lives, whether reading it or creating it, serves as a way of enlightening creativity when we are faced with demanding tasks in reality. Or, as our creative genius put it, “Though this be madness, Yet there is method in’t.” — William Shakespeare, Hamlet 8. What do the researchers in MGH find? A. Children have insight into rewritten poems. B. Complicated poems can stimulate creativity. C. Original versions of poems are easy to digest. D. Interpretive skills are essential to create poems. 9. Which aspect is affected most by reading poems? A. Imagination. B. Originality. C. Flexibility. D. Fluency. 10. What can we learn from Katrina and Beverly? A. Composing poems benefits authors. B. Writing fills people with energy. C. Reading poems unlocks the emotion. D. Turning ideas into words is hard. 11. Why does the author quote from Hamlet? A. To reveal reasons for madness. B. To show respect to Shakespeare. C. To invite people to enjoy poetry. D. To urge readers to face the reality. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章以莎士比亚开篇，结合多项研究与作家亲身感悟，论证阅读、创作诗歌能够激发人的发散思维与创造力，诗歌是启发创造力的有效途径。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In their research, participants were asked to read poems in both the original form and a rewritten version. The more complicated versions created more dramatic responses in the brain. They stress that songs, greeting card messages, and books read to children also work as examples of everyday poetry that can stimulate creative thinking.(在他们的研究中，参与者被要求阅读原版和改写版诗歌。越复杂的诗歌在大脑中产生越强烈的反应。他们强调歌曲、贺卡寄语、儿童读物这类日常诗歌都能激发创造性思维)”可知，复杂诗歌可以刺激创造力。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Those in the first group showed increased fluency, imagination and flexibility, while the other participants, a control group, displayed a decrease in fluency and originality.(第一组阅读诗歌的人流畅度、想象力、灵活性均有所提升；对照组不读诗的人流畅度与原创性出现下降)”可知，对比对照组，流畅度（fluency）受读诗影响最明显。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Novelist Katrina Case notes that the creation of poetry is at the heart of her personal creativity, helping her unlock ideas and emotions. Composing poetic pieces gives her “the creative boost to return to more significant projects with renewed energy.” Beverly Read, a lifelong poet and author, believes that those who write poems can create a connection between ideas and words.(小说家卡特里娜·凯斯称写诗是她个人创造力的核心，帮她释放想法与情感，写诗能给她创作动力，让她带着全新精力投入重要作品；终身诗人兼作家贝弗莉·里德认为写诗能搭建想法与文字之间的桥梁)”可推知，写诗对作家大有裨益。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章首尾段，首段提出莎士比亚代表诗歌与创造力的关联，尾段“The injection (注入) of poetry into our lives, whether reading it or creating it, serves as a way of enlightening creativity when we are faced with demanding tasks in reality. Or, as our creative genius put it, “Though this be madness, Yet there is method in’t.”(把诗歌融入生活，无论是读诗还是写诗，都能在现实繁重工作中启发创造力。正如这位天才所言：看似荒诞，实则自有章法)”，这句名言指诗歌看似天马行空，实则蕴含激发创造力的内在逻辑，作者引用莎翁名句，呼应开篇，号召大家感受诗歌、接纳诗歌。 D The Great Barrier Reef, the planet’s largest living structure, is in crisis. Its greatest threat is climate change, which has raised ocean temperatures and caused destructive coral bleaching (珊瑚白化). In 2016 and 2017 alone, roughly half the reef’s coral died, and by 2018 the total coral cover had fallen to just 14 percent. Corals depend on a coexisting relationship with algae (海藻) that live inside their tissues and supply about 90 percent of their energy. When waters become too warm, the corals expel the algae, forcing algae to leave their tissues. This process, called coral bleaching, makes the coral lose its color and without algae, the coral simply cannot survive. Tourism, pollution, and coral-eating species also worsen the situation. To tackle the problem, scientists are making efforts with the help of robots. Scientists first tried to control the poisonous crown-of-thorns starfish that feeds on corals. Matthew Dunbabin from Queensland University of Technology built an underwater robot named RangerBot. Using a vision system, it identifies the starfish, and delivers poisonous chemicals that kill only the targeted species. RangerBot was a good start, but it could not address bleaching. Dunbabin then partnered with Peter Harrison of Southern Cross University, who had long studied coral spawning (产卵). Harrison’s idea was to collect baby corals from the coral that survived bleaching events — corals likely more heat-resistant — and deliver them to damaged areas. Dunbabin bettered the RangerBot into the LarvalBot, a robot that can spread baby corals over a wide range. In late 2018, the team gathered hundreds of millions of coral spawns from healthy, unbleached areas, fed them into baby corals, and used several LarvalBots to gently release them onto damaged reef zones. The hope is that these heat-tolerant corals will settle, grow to maturity, and eventually produce corals naturally. While the root cause — global warming — still demands a solution, this project aims to buy precious time for the coral to recover. 12. What does the underlined word “expel” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Absorb. B. Remove. C. Transform. D. Conserve. 13. What can we learn about the RangerBot? A. It tells targeted starfish from others. B. It stood strong heat waves in trials. C. It identifies other underwater robots. D. It was invented with jointed efforts. 14. How can the LarvalBot help with solving coral bleaching? A. By collecting lab-raised corals. B. By killing coral-eating species. C. By spotting heat-resistant spawns. D. By spreading heat-tolerant baby corals. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Great Barrier Reef: Rise and Fall. B. Global Warming: Unseen Killer of Coral. C. Upgraded Robots: Powerful Coral Guardians. D. Dying Coral: Bleached by Heat, Saved by Algae. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍大堡礁因气候变暖遭遇危机，介绍两款机器人助力珊瑚修复。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“When waters become too warm, the corals expel the algae, forcing algae to leave their tissues.(当海水温度过高时，珊瑚会expel海藻，迫使海藻离开自身组织)”可知，当海水温度过高时，珊瑚会驱逐海藻，迫使海藻离开自身组织。expel表示“驱逐，移除”，与remove同义。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Matthew Dunbabin from Queensland University of Technology built an underwater robot named RangerBot. Using a vision system, it identifies the starfish, and delivers poisonous chemicals that kill only the targeted species.(昆士兰科技大学的马修·邓巴宾制造了一款名为RangerBot的水下机器人。利用视觉系统，它能识别出海星，并释放仅针对目标物种的致命化学物质)”可知，这款机器人可以区分目标海星与其他生物。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Dunbabin bettered the RangerBot into the LarvalBot, a robot that can spread baby corals over a wide range.(邓巴宾将RangerBot升级为LarvalBot，这款机器人可以大范围散播珊瑚幼体)”以及末段“In late 2018, the team gathered hundreds of millions of coral spawns from healthy, unbleached areas, fed them into baby corals, and used several LarvalBots to gently release them onto damaged reef zones. The hope is that these heat-tolerant corals will settle, grow to maturity, and eventually produce corals naturally.(2018年底，该团队从未受白化影响的健康区域收集了数亿颗珊瑚卵，培育成幼小珊瑚，并使用多台LarvalBot将它们轻柔地释放到受损的礁区。希望在于，这些耐热珊瑚能够定居、生长成熟，并最终自然地繁殖出后代)”可知，LarvalBot通过散播耐热珊瑚幼体修复珊瑚白化问题。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕大堡礁珊瑚白化危机展开，重点介绍两款迭代升级的机器人对珊瑚的保护与修复工作。C选项“升级机器人：强大的珊瑚守护者”精准概括文章主旨。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips to Have a Better Relationship with Your Body You only get one body.

He stayed up late playing games and slept until noon every day, thinking that labor work like farming was tiring and useless. His mom, worried about his lazy lifestyle, decided to send him to his Grandpa’s village to experience farm work. Arriving at the village, Kai was filled with dissatisfaction. The dusty roads and the absence of internet service made him feel bored and annoyed. On the first morning, Grandpa took him to the vegetable garden to weed and water the plants. He bent over the rows of greens for just an hour, and his back ached badly and his palms were rubbed red. He kept complaining and wanted to go back home immediately. He wandered around the yard aimlessly during the break, longing for the comfortable life in the city. He missed chatting with friends online and ordering tasty takeout at home. In his eyes, the quiet village had no fun at all, and every farm task seemed endless and exhausting. Grandpa noticed his bad mood but said nothing. He just quietly finished his work and prepared fresh vegetables for lunch. The foods on the table were grown with Grandpa’s own hands, yet Kai hardly had the appetite to enjoy them. By noon, he threw down his hoe (锄头) and sat on the ground, sweaty and frustrated. “This is meaningless! I’d rather go home and study,” he said to Grandpa angrily, refusing to continue. Grandpa didn’t scold him, but just smiled and said nothing. That night, Kai lay on the wooden bed, staring at the ceiling. He made up his mind to talk Grandpa into sending him back to the city the next day. 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。 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。 The next morning, Kai begged Grandpa to let him leave. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gradually, Kai changed his mind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next morning, Kai begged Grandpa to let him leave. Instead of answering, Grandpa handed him a basket. “Help me pick tomatoes, then we’ll talk.” Kai sighed but followed. As he reached into the vines, something shifted — the plump fruit warmed his palm, and a ladybug crawled onto his wrist, startling a laugh. “Good haul,” Grandpa nodded. Kai stared at his basket, surprised by the pride swelling in his chest. Gradually, Kai changed his mind. He rose with Grandpa at dawn, watering seedlings before the heat arrived. He learned to distinguish weeds from crops. Evenings brought stories of Grandpa’s youth. On his last night, Kai sat on the porch, phone forgotten, watching stars emerge. “Can I come back next summer?” he asked quietly. Grandpa smiled, passing him a peach. The sweetness tasted like understanding — some connections grow slowly, rooted in patience and earth. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述高一学生Kai沉迷手机、厌恶劳动，被母亲送到乡下爷爷家体验农活。从最初的抱怨抗拒，到在爷爷引导下逐渐领悟劳动价值与乡村宁静，完成从城市依赖到内心成长的转变。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段应描写爷爷未直接拒绝，而是带Kai完成最后一项任务（如采摘瓜果），让他在劳动中意外发现成就感与自然之美。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段应描写Kai主动参与农活、体验收获喜悦、与爷爷建立情感连接，最终领悟劳动意义与简单生活的价值。 2. 续写线索：恳求离开→爷爷引导→意外收获→发现美好→逐渐转变→主动参与→情感连接→领悟成长 3. 词汇激活 行为类： 转变：shifted/changed/altered/transformed 出现：emerge/appear/surface 情绪类： 惊讶的：surprised/astonished/amazed/startled 安静地：quietly/peacefully/silently 【点睛】【高分句型1】As he reached into the vines, something shifted — the plump fruit warmed his palm, and a ladybug crawled onto his wrist, startling a laugh.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】On his last night, Kai sat on the porch, phone forgotten, watching stars emerge.（运用了“逻辑主语+过去分词”构成的独立主格phone forgotten和现在分词watching作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 【考试时间：7月2日 15:00 — 17:00】 高二期末质量检测 英 语 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段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Unlike playing an instrument or writing a novel, designing and building a livable structure requires not merely imagination, but also innovative ideas and craftsmanship. We decide to take a look at some of the most amazing buildings around the world and show just how beautiful they are. Have you ever visited any of these places? Forbidden City, China Built from 1406 to 1420, it is a masterpiece of ancient Chinese architecture. It was originally the palace for the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It housed 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties and now numerous cultural treasures are displayed in it. Vienna Opera House, Austria In 1920, the Vienna Opera House was renamed the Vienna State Opera. At first, the structure was constructed in 1869 as part of the city’s expansion plans earlier that decade. The Neo-Renaissance structure was designed by a well-known Czech architect named Josef Hlávka. Louvre Palace, France This famous Parisian museum was first built in 1204 for defence, and then under Charles V it became a royal palace where most French rulers stayed when in the city. It remained an accommodation for the royal family until 1793, when most of the building was opened to the public as a museum. Catherine Palace, Russia This unimaginably splendid palace, constructed in 1717, was once the summer getaway of Russia’s Catherine I. Since then additions have been attached, and the shining statues on the structure’s roof were crafted using 100 kilograms of solid gold. 1. What does the author think of architecture? A. It improves the living standard of people. B. It is less imaginative than writing a novel. C. It is an art form perfected by many people. D. It needs both innovation and practical skills. 2. What can we learn about Vienna Opera House? A. It adopted different names. B. It was expanded in 1869. C. It was possessed by Hlávka. D. It used to act as a palace. 3. Which building has the longest history? A. Forbidden City. B. Louvre Palace. C. Vienna Opera House. D. Catherine Palace. B Due to a rare disease, 17-year-old Noah Cervantes has difficulty using conventional toys. His mother Danielle Jackson found adapted toys online, but they cost over $100 each. She then searched for a local organization and connected with Michael Dicpinigaitis, a Cornell student who founded the Big Red Adaptive Play and Design Initiative (APDI). The group trained students to adapt toys for children with disabilities. At first, only a few students worked on adapting toys. But since 2021, more than 100 volunteers have joined, building a large lending library available to nine local schools and recovery centers. “It’s amazing to have people so invested in your kid gaining independence and enjoying life,” Jackson said, “You don’t realize what disabled kids miss when they can’t even dress themselves or open their own lunchboxes.” Dicpinigaitis began this work in high school after seeing a video of a child with cerebral palsy (脑瘫) playing independently with an adapted toy. He taught himself to adapt toys and wanted to continue the service at Cornell. Recently, the group has shifted from general toy adaptation to tailoring solutions for individual needs. On March 24, they worked with Ithaca College to adapt battery-powered toy cars for four children with mobility difficulties. For these children, APDI brings light to their life. The adapted toys mean more than toys — they represent being together with ordinary children. Jackson said the toys allowed Noah and his brothers and sisters to play together for the first time. “Before, someone had to sit with him and assist him through. Now they all do the same thing,” she said. Kelly Clark, a psychologist guiding the group, said, “We want to make sure kids with disabilities have access to everything the rest do.” The group now designs 3D-printed aids for communication devices and daily duties. They plan to become an official Cornell Engineering team to ensure their mission continues. 4. What made Jackson turn to APDI? A. Her son’s dislike of traditional toys. B. The prices of specially designed toys. C. Her son’s difficulty in adapting toys. D. The fame of Dicpinigaitis in medicine. 5. Which word can best describe Dicpinigaitis? A. Reputation-driven. B. Profit-seeking. C. Community-caring. D. Detail-focused. 6. What can we learn about APDI? A. It helps children feel included. B. It benefits the disability recovery. C. It contributes to kids’ dependence. D. It specializes in general adaptation. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A mother’s effort to find a tailored cure. B. A Cornell student’s path to starting a business. C. An approach to promoting unconventional toys. D. An organization adapting toys for disabled kids. C Ask people for the greatest poets of all time, and William Shakespeare’s name will appear. Regarded as a “creative genius,” he stands as a symbol of literary greatness and poetic grace. Interestingly, this suggests a link between creativity and poetry. Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) note, “Participating in mentally challenging activities can encourage people to break away from fixed thinking. When we read poetry, we are exercising our interpretive skills.” In their research, participants were asked to read poems in both the original form and a rewritten version. The more complicated versions created more dramatic responses in the brain. They stress that songs, greeting card messages, and books read to children also work as examples of everyday poetry that can stimulate creative thinking. Malgorzata Osowiecka studied how reading poetry affected creativity. The participants were divided into two groups. Individuals in the first group were distributed poems; those in the second group were tasked with non-poetic texts. Before and after the reading, participants were tested on their levels of divergent (发散的) thinking. Those in the first group showed increased fluency, imagination and flexibility, while the other participants, a control group, displayed a decrease in fluency and originality. Novelist Katrina Case notes that the creation of poetry is at the heart of her personal creativity, helping her unlock ideas and emotions. Composing poetic pieces gives her “the creative boost to return to more significant projects with renewed energy.” Beverly Read, a lifelong poet and author, believes that those who write poems can create a connection between ideas and words. They give themselves the opportunity to select from millions of words to string several of them together, thus creating something vivid to be seen in the mind. The injection (注入) of poetry into our lives, whether reading it or creating it, serves as a way of enlightening creativity when we are faced with demanding tasks in reality. Or, as our creative genius put it, “Though this be madness, Yet there is method in’t.” — William Shakespeare, Hamlet 8. What do the researchers in MGH find? A. Children have insight into rewritten poems. B. Complicated poems can stimulate creativity. C. Original versions of poems are easy to digest. D. Interpretive skills are essential to create poems. 9. Which aspect is affected most by reading poems? A. Imagination. B. Originality. C. Flexibility. D. Fluency. 10. What can we learn from Katrina and Beverly? A. Composing poems benefits authors. B. Writing fills people with energy. C. Reading poems unlocks the emotion. D. Turning ideas into words is hard. 11. Why does the author quote from Hamlet? A. To reveal reasons for madness. B. To show respect to Shakespeare. C. To invite people to enjoy poetry. D. To urge readers to face the reality. D The Great Barrier Reef, the planet’s largest living structure, is in crisis. Its greatest threat is climate change, which has raised ocean temperatures and caused destructive coral bleaching (珊瑚白化). In 2016 and 2017 alone, roughly half the reef’s coral died, and by 2018 the total coral cover had fallen to just 14 percent. Corals depend on a coexisting relationship with algae (海藻) that live inside their tissues and supply about 90 percent of their energy. When waters become too warm, the corals expel the algae, forcing algae to leave their tissues. This process, called coral bleaching, makes the coral lose its color and without algae, the coral simply cannot survive. Tourism, pollution, and coral-eating species also worsen the situation. To tackle the problem, scientists are making efforts with the help of robots. Scientists first tried to control the poisonous crown-of-thorns starfish that feeds on corals. Matthew Dunbabin from Queensland University of Technology built an underwater robot named RangerBot. Using a vision system, it identifies the starfish, and delivers poisonous chemicals that kill only the targeted species. RangerBot was a good start, but it could not address bleaching. Dunbabin then partnered with Peter Harrison of Southern Cross University, who had long studied coral spawning (产卵). Harrison’s idea was to collect baby corals from the coral that survived bleaching events — corals likely more heat-resistant — and deliver them to damaged areas. Dunbabin bettered the RangerBot into the LarvalBot, a robot that can spread baby corals over a wide range. In late 2018, the team gathered hundreds of millions of coral spawns from healthy, unbleached areas, fed them into baby corals, and used several LarvalBots to gently release them onto damaged reef zones. The hope is that these heat-tolerant corals will settle, grow to maturity, and eventually produce corals naturally.

He stayed up late playing games and slept until noon every day, thinking that labor work like farming was tiring and useless. His mom, worried about his lazy lifestyle, decided to send him to his Grandpa’s village to experience farm work. Arriving at the village, Kai was filled with dissatisfaction. The dusty roads and the absence of internet service made him feel bored and annoyed. On the first morning, Grandpa took him to the vegetable garden to weed and water the plants. He bent over the rows of greens for just an hour, and his back ached badly and his palms were rubbed red. He kept complaining and wanted to go back home immediately. He wandered around the yard aimlessly during the break, longing for the comfortable life in the city. He missed chatting with friends online and ordering tasty takeout at home. In his eyes, the quiet village had no fun at all, and every farm task seemed endless and exhausting. Grandpa noticed his bad mood but said nothing. He just quietly finished his work and prepared fresh vegetables for lunch. The foods on the table were grown with Grandpa’s own hands, yet Kai hardly had the appetite to enjoy them. By noon, he threw down his hoe (锄头) and sat on the ground, sweaty and frustrated. “This is meaningless! I’d rather go home and study,” he said to Grandpa angrily, refusing to continue. Grandpa didn’t scold him, but just smiled and said nothing. That night, Kai lay on the wooden bed, staring at the ceiling. He made up his mind to talk Grandpa into sending him back to the city the next day. 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。 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。 The next morning, Kai begged Grandpa to let him leave. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gradually, Kai changed his mind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
