A. promise B. desire C. attempt D. tendency
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:他第一次独自爬山的认真尝试失败了,然而他决定很快再试一次。A. promise承诺;B. desire渴望;C. attempt尝试;D. tendency趋势。根据后半句中的“try again”可知,此处表示他第一次的“尝试”失败了。
3. At the Chinese art festival, there are so many different stands __________ artists demonstrate their skills and teach the visitors.
A. when B. that C. which D. where
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:在中国艺术节上,有如此多不同的展位,艺术家们在这些展位上展示他们的技艺并教授参观者。 空格处引导定语从句,修饰先行词stands,且定语从句“artists demonstrate their skills and teach the visitors”中主谓宾结构完整,缺少地点状语,应用关系副词where引导该定语从句。
4. According to linguists, __________ to a foreign language is an effective way to broaden our horizons and enhance cultural understanding.
A. being exposed B. exposed C. exposing D. to expose
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:根据语言学家的说法,接触外语是拓宽我们视野和增进文化理解的有效途径。__________ to a foreign language在句中作主语,且这里表示一般性的动作,需用动名词。动词expose意为“使接触”,常用于固定搭配be exposed to sth.(接触某物)。此处需用动名词的被动式being exposed作主语。
5. The engineer measured the tiny device __________, ensuring every component functioned perfectly under extremely challenging laboratory conditions.
A. cautiously B. roughly C. precisely D. relatively
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:工程师精确地测量了这个微小设备,确保每个部件在极具挑战性的实验室条件下都能完美运行。cautiously谨慎地;roughly粗略地;precisely精确地;relatively相对地。根据句中的“ensuring every component functioned perfectly(确保每个部件完美运行)”可知,为了达到完美运行的效果,工程师对微小设备的测量必须是“精确地”。
6. China’s National Highway 318, __________ over 5,000 kilometers, runs from Shanghai to Zhangmu, Tibet.
A. stretching B. expanding C. developing D. spreading
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:中国318国道绵延5000多公里,从上海一直通到西藏樟木。A. stretching延伸;B. expanding扩大;C. developing发展;D. spreading传播。 此处表示公路在距离或长度上的延伸,应用现在分词stretching,作后置定语。
7. — Why is the playground still closed after several weeks?
— Large amounts of damaged equipment __________ and safety checks are still continuing now.
A. is replaced B. is being replaced C. are replacing D. are being replaced
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——为什么数周过去了,操场仍然关闭?——大量损坏的设备正在被更换,安全检查现在仍在继续。根据后半句中的are still continuing now可知,更换设备的动作正在进行,用现在进行时,主语equipment与动词replace之间为被动关系,需用被动语态,large amounts of + 名词作主语时,谓语动词的单复数由amounts决定,此处应使用复数形式的谓语动词,故应用现在进行时的被动语态are being replaced。
8. The scientist could not __________ the unexpected result, despite repeating the experiment several times under strict conditions.
A. turn down B. account for C. rule out D. make up
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:尽管在严格的条件下重复了几次实验,这位科学家还是无法解释这个意想不到的结果。A. turn down拒绝;B. account for解释;C. rule out排除;D. make up编造。根据“the unexpected result, despite repeating the experiment several times under strict conditions”可知,科学家无法解释意想不到的实验结果。

【答案】B
【解析】

10. He speaks English more fluently than __________ when he first started learning it at school.
A. does he B. he does C. did he D. he did
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:他现在说英语比他刚在学校开始学英语时说得更流利。than引导比较状语从句,根据时间状语“when he first started learning it at school”可知,从句描述的是过去发生的事情,谓语动词应使用一般过去时;在比较状语从句中,当主语是人称代词时,通常使用正常语序,且用助动词did代替动词spoke以避免重复。
11. The company adopted a __________ working policy, allowing employees to balance productivity and personal commitments effectively.
A. frequent B. optional C. flexible D. typical
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:公司采取了一项灵活的工作政策,允许员工有效地平衡生产力和个人事务。 A. frequent频繁的; B. optional可选择的; C. flexible灵活的; D. typical典型的。题干后半句allowing employees to balance productivity and personal commitments effectively提示了该政策的特点是能让员工自由安排以平衡工作与个人事务,因此“灵活的”最符合语境。
12. The young explorer was permitted __________ only essential supplies while traveling through the remote mountain village.
A. to carry B. carrying C. to be carried D. being carried
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:这位年轻的探险家在穿越偏远山村时,只被允许携带必需的物资。固定搭配permit sb. to do sth.意为“允许某人做某事”,其被动语态为sb. be permitted to do sth.,意为“某人被允许做某事”。句中主语The young explorer与动词carry之间为主动关系,故此处应使用动词不定式的主动形式作主语补足语。
13. — I’m worried that my presentation tomorrow may disappoint the whole class.
— __________. Your earlier practice already impressed everyone greatly.
A. Take your time B. I wouldn’t go that far
C. That should do the trick D. You’ve got a point there
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我担心我明天的演讲可能会让全班同学失望。——我不同意这种极端说法。你早些时候的练习已经给每个人留下了深刻的印象。A. Take your time别着急;B. I wouldn’t go that far我不会说得那么绝对;C. That should do the trick这会奏效的;D. You’ve got a point there你说得有道理。答语者指出对方之前的练习已经给大家留下了深刻印象,因此不赞同对方认为演讲会让人失望的消极看法,“我不同意这种极端说法”符合语境。
14. — Did you find any available seats in the reading room?
— No. __________ was willing to give up their seat for me.
A. Nothing B. None C. No one D. Anybody
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你在阅览室找到空座位了吗?——没有。没有人愿意把座位让给我。A. Nothing没有事物;B. None一个也没有; C. No one没有人;D. Anybody任何人。根据句意,此处需要一个指人的代词作主语,排除指物的Nothing;且前文未提及特定的人群范围,属于泛指“没有人”愿意让座,应用No one,而None通常用于指代前文出现的特定范围内的“没有一个”。
15. — I can’t find my wallet anywhere.
— You __________ it at the restaurant, or perhaps in the taxi. It’s hard to tell.
A. must have left B. should have left C. would have left D. could have left
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我到处都找不到我的钱包。——你可能把它落在餐厅了,或者也许在出租车里。很难说。A. must have left一定已经落下,表十分肯定的推测;B. should have left本应该落下,带有责备意味; C. would have left本会落下,用于虚拟语气; D. could have left可能已经落下。根据句中的perhaps和It’s hard to tell.可知,说话人对钱包落在哪里的推测是不确定的,could have done表示对过去发生的事情的不太肯定的推测,意为“可能做过某事”。

Ⅳ.阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
A
I once believed that anything broken was essentially finished. In my world of instant replacements, a cracked screen or a torn coat was merely an excuse to buy something new. This “throwaway” mindset made me efficient, but it also left me restless, always chasing the next perfect object. Last summer, however, a rotting wooden stool (凳子) inherited from my grandfather forced me to sit still and reconsider.
The stool was a mess: one leg was shorter than the rest, and the seat was covered in deep scratches. Initially, I intended to get rid of it, but a sense of guilt stopped me. I decided to join a local weekend workshop called “The Art of Repair.” I walked in with a simple goal: to make the stool look brand new again. I wanted to erase its history and hide its flaws.
The instructor, a soft-spoken woman named Clara, watched as I wildly sanded the wood, trying to remove every mark. After an hour of my desperate scrubbing, she placed a hand on my shoulder. “You’re fighting the wood,” she said gently. “The goal isn’t to pretend the damage never happened; it’s to make the object strong again while honoring its journey.”
I was perplexed. To me, a repair that showed was a failed repair. But as the afternoon wore on, I watched Clara work. She didn’t hide cracks; she filled them with colored resin (树脂), making them look like golden lines. I began to slow down. I stopped seeing the scratches as ugly scars and started seeing them as the story of my grandfather’s years in his workshop. I concentrated on the grain of the wood, feeling a strange sense of calm I hadn’t felt in years.
It took three weekends to finish that single stool. It doesn’t look new; in fact, the repairs are quite visible. But it is sturdy, and in its golden-lined cracks, I see a beauty that perfection could never offer. I realized that I wasn’t just fixing a piece of furniture; I was repairing my own relationship with time and imperfection.
Life, I now understand, is much like that stool. We all carry scratches and uneven legs from our journeys. Growth isn’t about erasing our past struggles to look “perfect” to the world; it’s about mending those breaks so we can stand firm again, carrying our history with pride.
36. What led to the author’s inner restlessness initially?
A. Struggling to let go of inherited possessions.
B. Seeking perfect objects through constant replacement.
C. The stress of constantly replacing imperfect items.
D. Feeling growing guilt over getting rid of items.
37. What was the author’s primary expectation before the workshop?
A. To acquire advanced skills of wood carving. B. To protect emotional memories of his grandfather.
C. To remove every visible trace of damage. D. To transform the stool into artwork decorated.
38. Clara’s approach to the broken stool suggests that _________.
A. visible imperfections can carry special value B. patient repair can bring emotional comfort
C. preserving history matters less than function D. flawless perfection represents the ultimate goal
39. What does the underlined word “perplexed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Defensive. B. Puzzled. C. Relaxed. D. Satisfied.
40. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Family treasures connect different generations deeply.
B. Modern society urges people toward consumption.
C. Manual repair heals modern psychological anxiety.
D. True growth involves accepting past imperfections.
【答案】36. B 37. C 38. A 39. B 40. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述作者原本习惯淘汰破损物品、不断追逐完美,在修复祖父旧凳子的过程中领悟到成长不必掩盖过往缺憾,而是接纳并修补伤痕,带着自身经历坦然前行。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“This “throwaway” mindset made me efficient, but it also left me restless, always chasing the next perfect object.(这种“用完即弃”的思维让我效率很高,但也让我焦躁不安,永远在追逐下一件完美的物品。)”可知,不断更换物品、追求完美物件让作者内心焦躁不安。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“I walked in with a simple goal: to make the stool look brand new again. I wanted to erase its history and hide its flaws.(我带着一个简单的目标走进工坊:让这张凳子重新变得焕然一新。我想要抹去它的过往痕迹,掩盖它的瑕疵。)”可知,作者去修理工坊前的主要期望是去除所有可见的损伤痕迹。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中Clara所说的话“The goal isn’t to pretend the damage never happened; it’s to make the object strong again while honoring its journey.”(修复的目的不是假装破损从未存在,而是让物体重新变得坚固,同时尊重它的历程。)”以及第四段中“She didn’t hide cracks; she filled them with colored resin (树脂), making them look like golden lines. I began to slow down. I stopped seeing the scratches as ugly scars and started seeing them as the story of my grandfather’s years in his workshop.(她没有掩盖裂缝,而是用彩色树脂填充,让裂缝变成金色纹路。我开始放慢脚步。我不再把这些划痕看作是丑陋的伤疤,而是开始将其视为祖父在工坊里多年岁月的故事。)”可知,Clara对待破损凳子的方式表明可见的不完美也能拥有特殊价值。
【39题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文Clara所说的话“The goal isn’t to pretend the damage never happened; it’s to make the object strong again while honoring its journey.(修复的目的不是假装破损从未存在,而是让物体重新变得坚固,同时尊重它的历程。)”以及第四段中划线词下文“To me, a repair that showed was a failed repair. But as the afternoon wore on, I watched Clara work.(对我而言,留有痕迹的修复就是失败的修复。)”可知,Clara认为修复不需要掩盖破损,而作者认为留有痕迹的修复就是失败的修复。Clara的观点和作者固有想法完全相反,因此作者感到困惑不解,perplexed意为“困惑的”,与puzzled意思一致。
【40题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据最后一段“Life, I now understand, is much like that stool. We all carry scratches and uneven legs from our journeys. Growth isn’t about erasing our past struggles to look “perfect” to the world; it’s about mending those breaks so we can stand firm again, carrying our history with pride.(如今我才明白,人生就如同那张凳子。我们每个人一路走来,身上都带着伤痕与缺憾。成长不是抹去我们过去的挣扎以在世人面前显得“完美”,而是修复那些破损,使我们能再次站稳,带着自豪承载自己的历史。)”可知,本文主要讲述了作者从最初追求完美、不断替换物品的心态,通过修复祖父留下的破旧凳子,逐渐领悟到成长不是抹去过去的伤痕来显得“完美”,而是修复那些破损、带着自豪承载自己的历史。本文的核心主旨是真正的成长包含接纳过去的不完美。
B
In recent years, scientists and engineers have developed a group of materials known as “smart materials”. Unlike traditional materials, which usually remain unchanged under normal conditions, smart materials are able to respond actively to external factors such as temperature, light, pressure, or electricity. This special ability allows them to change their shape, color, or other properties, making them increasingly useful in modern life.
One well-known example is shape-memory materials. These materials can return to their original form after being bent, stretched, or compressed. For instance, certain metal alloys can be easily reshaped at a low temperature but quickly recover their initial shape when heated. This feature has made them especially valuable in the medical field. Some surgical devices can be inserted into the human body in a small and simple form, and then expand once they reach body temperature, helping doctors perform operations more effectively and safely.
Another important type is color-changing materials. These materials respond to changes in temperature or light by altering their color. They are already used in a variety of everyday products, such as mood rings and heat-sensitive labels on food containers. In more advanced applications, scientists are exploring how these materials can be used in buildings. For example, windows that automatically darken under strong sunlight could reduce the need for air conditioning, thereby saving energy and improving indoor comfort.
Smart materials can also react to pressure or movement. Some of them produce a small amount of electricity when they are pressed, bent, or shaken. This property is widely used in sensors that detect motion, vibration, or force. For example, such materials can be placed under roads, railways, or bridges to monitor traffic conditions or structural safety. Because these systems can work continuously, they provide useful information without requiring constant human control.
However, smart materials still face several challenges. Many of them are expensive to produce, which limits their use in large-scale applications. In addition, some materials do not respond quickly or accurately enough for situations where precise control is necessary. Scientists are therefore trying to improve both their speed and reliability.
In the future, smart materials are expected to become more common in everyday objects. From clothing that adjusts to body temperature to buildings that react to environmental changes, these materials may greatly improve efficiency and comfort. As research continues, their importance in modern society will likely grow even further.
41. Why does the author compare smart materials with traditional ones in Paragraph 1?
A. To describe differences in material use. B. To explain advances in material science.
C. To discuss problems with old materials. D. To stress the special nature they possessed.
42. How do shape-memory surgical devices work inside the body?

【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Unlike traditional materials, which usually remain unchanged under normal conditions, smart materials are able to respond actively to external factors such as temperature, light, pressure, or electricity. This special ability allows them to change their shape, color, or other properties(与通常在常规条件下性质保持不变的传统材料不同,智能材料能够主动对温度、光、压力或电等外部因素作出反应,这种特殊能力让它们可以改变自身的形状、颜色或其他属性)”可知,作者对比两类材料是为了突出智能材料所具备的特殊性质。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Some surgical devices can be inserted into the human body in a small and simple form, and then expand once they reach body temperature(一些手术设备可以以小巧简单的形态植入人体,在到达体温环境后就会扩张)”可知,形状记忆手术设备进入人体后,会吸收体热发生扩张。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“For example, windows that automatically darken under strong sunlight could reduce the need for air conditioning, thereby saving energy and improving indoor comfort.(例如,窗户可在强光下自动变暗,能减少对空调的需求,从而节约能源,提升室内舒适度。)”可知,变色材料可以降低对人工制冷的需求,进而提升建筑的能源效率。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“This property is widely used in sensors that detect motion, vibration, or force. For example, such materials can be placed under roads, railways, or bridges to monitor traffic conditions or structural safety.(这一特性被广泛应用于检测运动、振动或受力的传感器中。例如,这类材料可以铺设在道路、铁路或桥梁下方,监测交通状况或是结构安全。)”可知,这些例子是为了说明压敏智能材料可以应用于大型公共建筑工程中。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。文章不仅介绍了智能材料的特性和应用,还说明了其现存挑战,最后重点阐述了智能材料未来会广泛应用于日常生活,改变人们的生活,“How Smart Materials Shape Our Future(智能材料如何塑造我们的未来)”能够概括全文核心内容,适合作为标题。
C
In the modern digital landscape, we are reading more than ever before. From endless social media feeds to instant news updates, our eyes are constantly moving across screens. However, psychologists and educators are increasingly concerned that while the quantity of our reading has increased, the quality has significantly declined. We are developing what experts call “skimming minds,” a shift that could have profound consequences for our ability to think critically and focus deeply.
The primary cause of this shift is the nature of digital screens. When we read on a smartphone or a tablet, we are rarely just reading. We are navigating a minefield of distractions — incoming notifications, tempting links, and the constant urge to scroll. Research suggests that digital reading encourages a “F-shaped” pattern: we scan the top of the page, look down a bit, and then skip through the rest. This habit is efficient for gathering quick facts, but it is disastrous for “deep reading,” which requires the brain to connect new information with existing knowledge and personal experience.
In contrast, reading on paper offers a fundamentally different cognitive experience. A physical book provides a fixed, stable environment that allows the mind to settle. Without the ability to click away or scroll endlessly, the reader is forced to engage with the author’s logic at a slower, more deliberate pace. This “slow reading” is where true comprehension happens. It allows for reflection, questioning, and the formation of complex mental images. On paper, the text remains still, giving the brain the necessary “quiet” to process difficult concepts and subtle emotions.
The danger of losing this skill extends beyond the classroom. Deep reading is the foundation of empathy and critical thinking. It allows us to step into the shoes of others and to follow long, complicated arguments. If we lose the patience for a three-hundred-page novel or a detailed research paper, we risk becoming a society that can only process information in bite-sized, simplified pieces. We may find ourselves easily swayed by emotional slogans rather than informed by reasoned debate.
To protect our capacity for deep thought, we do not need to abandon our digital devices. Instead, we must treat deep reading as a mental muscle that requires regular exercise. Setting aside “screen-free” time each day to engage with a physical book is not just a nostalgic hobby; it is a vital act of intellectual self-defense. By choosing to slow down, we reclaim the space we need to truly understand the world around us.
46. What problem about modern reading is mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. Reading volume grows while comprehension depth drops.
B. Digital platforms expand while educational resources shrink.
C. Critical thinking improves while overall attention spans drop.
D. Screen exposure increases while technical information disappears.
47. The “F-shaped” pattern means that digital readers _________.
A. tend to change their usual reading paths B. favor modern electronic screens over books
C. browse information without scanning thoroughly D. gather quick facts directly without deep thinking
48. What can be inferred about reading on paper from Paragraph 3?
A. It provides a more consistent reading process. B. It supports deeper processing of complex texts.
C. It improves readers’ emotional response to stories. D. It reduces the need for constant evaluation.
49. Why does the author mention “a three-hundred-page novel” in Paragraph 4?
A. To show modern readers prefer shorter information.
B. To stress the importance of literary works in education.
C. To explain long texts require more reading practice.
D. To illustrate the declining ability in deep reading.
50. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The changing patterns of deep reading. B. The approach to furthering deep reading.
C. The lasting value of deep reading. D. The major differences in reading styles.
【答案】46. A 47. C 48. B 49. D 50. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要说明了如今人们屏幕阅读量大增却多为浅层浏览,数字干扰催生扫读习惯;纸质阅读利于深度思考,丧失深读能力会削弱共情与思辨,需多纸质阅读锻炼深度思考能力。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“However, psychologists and educators are increasingly concerned that while the quantity of our reading has increased, the quality has significantly declined.(然而,心理学家和教育工作者越来越担心的是,尽管我们的阅读量有所增加,但阅读的质量却显著下降)”可知,现代阅读的问题是阅读量增加,而理解深度下降。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Research suggests that digital reading encourages a “F-shaped” pattern: we scan the top of the page, look down a bit, and then skip through the rest.(研究表明,数字阅读呈现出一种“F形”模式:我们先浏览页面顶部,再往下看一小段,然后跳过其余部分)”可知,“F形”阅读只粗略浏览,不会完整细读。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“This “slow reading” is where true comprehension happens. It allows for reflection, questioning, and the formation of complex mental images. On paper, the text remains still, giving the brain the necessary “quiet” to process difficult concepts and subtle emotions.(这种“慢读”正是真正理解发生的地方。它允许人们进行反思、提出疑问,并形成复杂的思维图像。在纸上,文字静止不动,为大脑提供了必要的“安静”,以便处理复杂概念和微妙的情感)”可知,纸质阅读有助于对复杂文本进行更深入的处理。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“If we lose the patience for a three-hundred-page novel or a detailed research paper, we risk becoming a society that can only process information in bite-sized, simplified pieces.(如果我们对一部三百页的小说或一篇详尽的研究论文失去耐心,就可能变成一个只能以碎片化、简化的形式处理信息的社会)”可知,作者在第四段提到“一本三百页的小说”是为了说明深度阅读能力的下降。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“To protect our capacity for deep thought, we do not need to abandon our digital devices. Instead, we must treat deep reading as a mental muscle that requires regular exercise. Setting aside “screen-free” time each day to engage with a physical book is not just a nostalgic hobby; it is a vital act of intellectual self-defense. By choosing to slow down, we reclaim the space we need to truly understand the world around us.(为了保护我们进行深度思考的能力,我们并不需要放弃数字设备。相反,我们必须将深度阅读视为一种需要定期锻炼的思维肌肉。每天留出“无屏幕”时间,专注于实体书籍,这不仅是一种怀旧的爱好,更是一项重要的智力自我保护行为。通过选择放慢节奏,我们重新获得理解周围世界所需的空间)”并结合文章围绕深度阅读展开,先提出现代深度阅读能力下降的问题,之后阐述深度阅读对个人认知、思维和共情能力的不可替代的作用,凸显了深度阅读的长久价值。可知,文章的主旨是深度阅读的持久价值。

Ⅳ.阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
A
I once believed that anything broken was essentially finished. In my world of instant replacements, a cracked screen or a torn coat was merely an excuse to buy something new. This “throwaway” mindset made me efficient, but it also left me restless, always chasing the next perfect object. Last summer, however, a rotting wooden stool (凳子) inherited from my grandfather forced me to sit still and reconsider.
The stool was a mess: one leg was shorter than the rest, and the seat was covered in deep scratches. Initially, I intended to get rid of it, but a sense of guilt stopped me. I decided to join a local weekend workshop called “The Art of Repair.” I walked in with a simple goal: to make the stool look brand new again. I wanted to erase its history and hide its flaws.
The instructor, a soft-spoken woman named Clara, watched as I wildly sanded the wood, trying to remove every mark. After an hour of my desperate scrubbing, she placed a hand on my shoulder. “You’re fighting the wood,” she said gently. “The goal isn’t to pretend the damage never happened; it’s to make the object strong again while honoring its journey.”
I was perplexed. To me, a repair that showed was a failed repair. But as the afternoon wore on, I watched Clara work. She didn’t hide cracks; she filled them with colored resin (树脂), making them look like golden lines. I began to slow down. I stopped seeing the scratches as ugly scars and started seeing them as the story of my grandfather’s years in his workshop. I concentrated on the grain of the wood, feeling a strange sense of calm I hadn’t felt in years.
It took three weekends to finish that single stool. It doesn’t look new; in fact, the repairs are quite visible. But it is sturdy, and in its golden-lined cracks, I see a beauty that perfection could never offer. I realized that I wasn’t just fixing a piece of furniture; I was repairing my own relationship with time and imperfection.
Life, I now understand, is much like that stool. We all carry scratches and uneven legs from our journeys. Growth isn’t about erasing our past struggles to look “perfect” to the world; it’s about mending those breaks so we can stand firm again, carrying our history with pride.

In recent years, scientists and engineers have developed a group of materials known as “smart materials”. Unlike traditional materials, which usually remain unchanged under normal conditions, smart materials are able to respond actively to external factors such as temperature, light, pressure, or electricity. This special ability allows them to change their shape, color, or other properties, making them increasingly useful in modern life.
One well-known example is shape-memory materials. These materials can return to their original form after being bent, stretched, or compressed. For instance, certain metal alloys can be easily reshaped at a low temperature but quickly recover their initial shape when heated. This feature has made them especially valuable in the medical field. Some surgical devices can be inserted into the human body in a small and simple form, and then expand once they reach body temperature, helping doctors perform operations more effectively and safely.
Another important type is color-changing materials. These materials respond to changes in temperature or light by altering their color. They are already used in a variety of everyday products, such as mood rings and heat-sensitive labels on food containers. In more advanced applications, scientists are exploring how these materials can be used in buildings. For example, windows that automatically darken under strong sunlight could reduce the need for air conditioning, thereby saving energy and improving indoor comfort.
Smart materials can also react to pressure or movement. Some of them produce a small amount of electricity when they are pressed, bent, or shaken. This property is widely used in sensors that detect motion, vibration, or force. For example, such materials can be placed under roads, railways, or bridges to monitor traffic conditions or structural safety. Because these systems can work continuously, they provide useful information without requiring constant human control.
However, smart materials still face several challenges. Many of them are expensive to produce, which limits their use in large-scale applications. In addition, some materials do not respond quickly or accurately enough for situations where precise control is necessary. Scientists are therefore trying to improve both their speed and reliability.
In the future, smart materials are expected to become more common in everyday objects. From clothing that adjusts to body temperature to buildings that react to environmental changes, these materials may greatly improve efficiency and comfort. As research continues, their importance in modern society will likely grow even further.
41. Why does the author compare smart materials with traditional ones in Paragraph 1?
A. To describe differences in material use. B. To explain advances in material science.
C. To discuss problems with old materials. D. To stress the special nature they possessed.
42. How do shape-memory surgical devices work inside the body?
A. They expand upon absorbing body heat. B. They require constant pressure during operations.
C. They shrink after reaching target areas. D. They change shape before entering organs.
43. How can color-changing materials improve energy efficiency in buildings?
A. They generate electricity through energy consumption.
B. They protect windows from potential sunlight damage.
C. They lower the demand for artificial cooling.
D. They keep room temperatures constant all year.
44. The examples of roads, railways and bridges are used mainly to show that pressure-sensitive smart materials __________.
A. can be applied in large-scale public construction projects
B. produce enough electricity to power monitoring systems
C. are more reliable than traditional construction materials
D. help reduce the cost of building transportation networks
45. What could be the best title for this passage?
A. The Challenges Facing Smart Materials
B. How Smart Materials Shape Our Future
C. The Working Principles of Smart Materials
D. Why Traditional Materials Remain Globally Unchanged

In the modern digital landscape, we are reading more than ever before. From endless social media feeds to instant news updates, our eyes are constantly moving across screens. However, psychologists and educators are increasingly concerned that while the quantity of our reading has increased, the quality has significantly declined. We are developing what experts call “skimming minds,” a shift that could have profound consequences for our ability to think critically and focus deeply.
The primary cause of this shift is the nature of digital screens. When we read on a smartphone or a tablet, we are rarely just reading. We are navigating a minefield of distractions — incoming notifications, tempting links, and the constant urge to scroll. Research suggests that digital reading encourages a “F-shaped” pattern: we scan the top of the page, look down a bit, and then skip through the rest. This habit is efficient for gathering quick facts, but it is disastrous for “deep reading,” which requires the brain to connect new information with existing knowledge and personal experience.
In contrast, reading on paper offers a fundamentally different cognitive experience. A physical book provides a fixed, stable environment that allows the mind to settle. Without the ability to click away or scroll endlessly, the reader is forced to engage with the author’s logic at a slower, more deliberate pace. This “slow reading” is where true comprehension happens. It allows for reflection, questioning, and the formation of complex mental images. On paper, the text remains still, giving the brain the necessary “quiet” to process difficult concepts and subtle emotions.
The danger of losing this skill extends beyond the classroom. Deep reading is the foundation of empathy and critical thinking. It allows us to step into the shoes of others and to follow long, complicated arguments. If we lose the patience for a three-hundred-page novel or a detailed research paper, we risk becoming a society that can only process information in bite-sized, simplified pieces. We may find ourselves easily swayed by emotional slogans rather than informed by reasoned debate.
To protect our capacity for deep thought, we do not need to abandon our digital devices. Instead, we must treat deep reading as a mental muscle that requires regular exercise. Setting aside “screen-free” time each day to engage with a physical book is not just a nostalgic hobby; it is a vital act of intellectual self-defense. By choosing to slow down, we reclaim the space we need to truly understand the world around us.
46. What problem about modern reading is mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. Reading volume grows while comprehension depth drops.
B. Digital platforms expand while educational resources shrink.
C. Critical thinking improves while overall attention spans drop.
D. Screen exposure increases while technical information disappears.
47. The “F-shaped” pattern means that digital readers _________.
A. tend to change their usual reading paths B. favor modern electronic screens over books
C. browse information without scanning thoroughly D. gather quick facts directly without deep thinking
48. What can be inferred about reading on paper from Paragraph 3?
A. It provides a more consistent reading process. B. It supports deeper processing of complex texts.
C. It improves readers’ emotional response to stories. D. It reduces the need for constant evaluation.
49. Why does the author mention “a three-hundred-page novel” in Paragraph 4?
A. To show modern readers prefer shorter information.
B. To stress the importance of literary works in education.
C. To explain long texts require more reading practice.
D. To illustrate the declining ability in deep reading.
50. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The changing patterns of deep reading. B. The approach to furthering deep reading.
C. The lasting value of deep reading. D. The major differences in reading styles.
