A new app called Cal AI can help. All you have to do is take a photo of your food, and the app will tell you how many calories it has. It can also show you what nutrients (营养物) are in your dish. Cal AI was created by Zach Yadegari, an 18-year-old student. In 2023, Zach tried using another calorie-counting app called MyFitnessPal to record his meals. But typing in everything he ate took too much time. “It was very boring and hard to use,” Zach said. After just three days, he gave up. Zach wanted something faster and smarter. So, he teamed up with his high school friends to make a better app. Together, they trained Cal AI using pictures from three different AI models. The app can know both simple and complex (复杂的) foods, like sandwiches and packaged snacks. It has also learned to guess how much food is on the plate by matching photos to the standard servings. Today, Cal AI is 90% correct, and it keeps improving with help from users. Since it came out in May 2024, it has been downloaded over five million times. In February 2025 alone, the app earned over $2 million! One big reason for its success is social media. Zach gets in touch with fitness influencers and asks them to talk about Cal AI. Their followers see the posts, try the app and share it with others. As a result, it has become very popular among young users aged 15-25. Zach finished high school this summer with top grades. Even though he has been accepted by several universities, he plans to take a gap year. He wants to make Cal AI even more correct and help people of all ages eat more healthily. This young coder (程序员) isn’t slowing down — he’s just getting started. 1．Why did Zach give up using MyFitnessPal? A．Because it was boring and hard to use. B．Because it was too expensive. C．Because it had too few food pictures. D．Because it couldn’t record calories. 2．What can we know from Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4? A．Cal AI can know all kinds of food without mistakes. B．Cal AI became correct with training and users’ help. C．Cal AI’s success made Zach drop out of high school. D．Cal AI was created to help Zach’s friends record calories. 3．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A．Users of Cal AI. B．Followers of fitness influencers. C．Fitness influencers. D．Universities that accepted Zach. 4．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Zach wasn’t accepted by any university, so he planned a gap year. B．Zach will stop working on Cal AI once he starts his university life. C．Zach needs to work to earn money for university during the gap year. D．Zach wants to spend time making Cal AI better before going to university. 5．What’s the main idea of the text? A．A teen coder creates a smart app to count calories. B．A calorie app (MyFitnessPal) has some disadvantages. C．People use a calorie-counting app to eat more healthily. D．Social media helps an app (Cal AI) become successful. 1、Many great inventions change people’s lives and make the world more convenient.（许多伟大的发明改变了人们的生活，让世界变得更加便利。） 2、It takes lots of time and hard work for inventors to create new useful products.（发明家要花费大量时间和付出努力，才能创造出实用的新物品。） 3、Teamwork helps young students come up with creative new inventions easily.（团队合作能帮助青少年轻松想出富有创意的新发明。） 4、Some green inventions can cut down pollution and protect our environment well.（一些环保发明可以减少污染，很好地保护我们的环境。） 5、New AI apps make our daily life simpler and save us plenty of time.（新型人工智能应用简化了我们的日常生活，节省大量时间。） 6、Every small creative idea has the chance to become a great invention in the future.（每一个微小的创意想法，未来都有机会成为伟大的发明。） 7、3D printing technology makes it possible to produce car parts with less waste.（3D 打印技术让我们能够制造汽车零件，同时减少废料。） 8、Teenagers can also invent useful things if they keep thinking and practicing.（青少年只要坚持思考和实践，也能创造出实用的发明。） 9、Most inventors failed many times before they finally made successful inventions.（大多数发明家在成功创造发明前都经历过无数次失败。） 10、Electric cars that take in CO2 are perfect examples of environmentally friendly inventions.（可以吸收二氧化碳的电动汽车是环保发明的绝佳范例。） 11、Social media helps new inventions become popular among young people quickly.（社交媒体能让新发明迅速在年轻人之间流行起来。） 12、New inventions bring us convenience, but we should use them in proper ways.（新发明为我们带来便利，但我们应当合理使用它们。） 13、It’s amazing that an 18-year-old student created a useful AI food-recognition app.（一名 18 岁学生研发出实用的食物识别人工智能软件，这件事十分令人惊叹。） 14、Recyclable materials are widely used in modern inventions to save natural resources.（可回收材料被广泛运用于现代发明中，节约自然资源。） 15、Good inventions not only solve present problems but also care about our future.（优秀的发明不仅能解决当下的难题，还会兼顾我们的未来。） 16、We should keep an open mind and dare to try new creative ideas.（我们应当保持开放的心态，敢于尝试新颖的创意想法。） 17、Some inventions can work better if scientists improve their technology step by step.（科学家逐步优化技术，就能让部分发明发挥更好的作用。） 18、Taking photos of food to check calories is a creative function of the AI app Cal AI.（拍摄食物照片查看卡路里是人工智能软件 Cal AI 的创新功能。） 19、Inventors always turn their creative thoughts into real useful products little by little.（发明家总能一点点将创意想法转化为真实实用的产品。） 20、Innovation is the power that pushes humans to make more amazing inventions.（创新是推动人类创造更多惊艳发明的动力。） Passage1 （2026·天津·中考真题）Scientists are creating robots that can be used in many different areas of life. Recently a new kind of robot which looks like a penguin has been developed. The penguin robot helps scientists get closer to emperor penguins (帝企鹅) to know more about their behaviour (行为). Emperor penguins are famous as shy animals. They usually feel nervous and run away when scientists go towards them. This will cause problems to their hearts. To solve it, a team of scientists created a remote control vehicle (遥控车). This vehicle allowed the scientists to study the penguins from over 200 metres away. It could move up to the penguins slowly and quietly without making them run away. It was also used to help make the documentary (纪录片) March of the Penguins. The scientists still wanted to watch emperor penguins much closer. After trying many times, they developed their latest robot which was like a little grey penguin. It had four black wheels, two black arms and a black-and-white painted face. The wheels were prepared for the robot to walk on the thick snow easily. This new robot didn’t scare (惊吓) the penguins. They even sang songs to welcome the robot and listened for a response. But the penguins were very unhappy when there was no answer. The scientists didn’t programme (编写程序) the penguin robot to make a sound. Next time they will have the robot sing songs. Thanks to the robots, scientists could do much more research on emperor penguins. 1．Why was the penguin robot developed? A．To know about scientists’ heart problems. B．To help scientists walk on the thick snow. C．To learn about emperor penguins’ behaviour. D．To help emperor penguins look for more food. 2．How do emperor penguins feel when scientists go towards them? A．Sad. B．Angry. C．Excited. D．Nervous. 3．What does the word “response” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Plan. B．Answer. C．Lesson. D．Reason. 4．What will the penguin robot do next time according to the passage? A．Sing songs. B．Swim in the sea. C．Take photos. D．Dance on the snow. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．Penguins in the film. B．Penguins in the zoo. C．Robots for daily housework. D．Robots for studying penguins. Passage2 （2026·广西·中考真题） Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have estimated (估计) that the world may need about 1 billion new homes by 2050. According to a researcher from MIT, if people use wood to make so many homes, more than three times the size of the Amazon rainforest may be cut. The MIT researchers tried to find other materials to take the place of wood to make house parts. And they found recycled plastic could play a role. The MIT team discovered that recycled plastic mixed with bits of glass could be used as a new material to make trusses (桁架)—supports put under floors to make sure that the floors can carry the weight of everything on them. The MIT team wanted to know how much weight the trusses could carry. In a test, they 3D printed four trusses with the new material. Each truss weighed only about 6 kg—lighter than a comparable wooden truss. The team put the four trusses under a wooden floor model and slowly added heavy weights on the floor. Through the test, the team found the four trusses could sustain objects weighing more than 1,800 kg—about the weight of a car. This showed trusses made from the new material were strong enough to be used in house building in America. The finding may benefit house building a lot. It will be much easier to send house parts made from this new material to different places. What’s more, the researchers say it is possible to bring down the cost of making house parts. The researchers hope that one day they can 3D print more house parts with the new material, so that more used plastic could be turned into something useful. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 1．How many new homes may the world need by 2050 according to the MIT researchers? A．About 1 billion. B．About 2 billion. C．About 3 billion. 2．What is the new material made from? A．Recycled plastic and glass. B．Recycled plastic and wood. C．Recycled plastic and stone. 3．What does the underlined word “sustain” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A．Increase. B．Avoid. C．Hold. 4．What can we learn about the 3D-printed trusses in the test? A．They were big enough to support house floors. B．They were strong enough for house building. C．They were small enough to be put in a car. 5．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．3D Printing Solves Housing Problems B．Recycled Plastic Finds New Life in Houses C．Recycling Plastic Reduces Environmental Pollution Passage 1 There are many beautiful things we can do in our daily lives. We can eat tasty food, visit places of interest, or 1 natural beauty. However, it’s a pity that disabled people have fewer 2 to experience all of these than normal ones. For example, those who have trouble walking or moving around often have a hard time enjoying the beach. Most beaches don’t have 3 walkways for wheelchair users to move around easily. Luckily, Seatrac (海滩轮椅系统) 4 . It is a system designed to solve this problem. Seatrac includes a chair on a ramp (斜坡) that can 5 carry a wheelchair user into the sea, and it is operated by remote (远程的) control. Once in the sea, the person can either 6 in the chair to enjoy the water or go for a swim. Seatrac brings the chair back to the 7 of the ramp when the person is ready to get out of the water. It is also 8 for the person to take a shower in the Seatrac chair after going for a swim. Seatrac is solar-powered (太阳能供电) and it doesn’t 9 extra power. What’s more, Seatrac can easily be packed up and kept when the swimming 10 ends. In the summer of 2023, Seatrac was 11 used at over 220 beaches in Greece, Italy and other countries. Ignatios Fotiou is one of the inventors of Seatrac. He had this idea 12 he talked with a friend, Mark, who used a wheelchair. The friend said that it was difficult for 13 to enjoy the sea alone. It made Fotiou realize that there must be a 14 to help wheelchair users. Later, Fotiou designed (设计) Seatrac with his partners. Thanks 15 Seatrac, people who use wheelchairs now have the chance to cool down with a jump into the sea. The system will continue to develop step by step. 1．A．enter B．create C．admire D．realize 2．A．choices B．plans C．abilities D．chances 3．A．common B．natural C．special D．helpful 4．A．ended up B．showed around C．went on D．came out 5．A．heavily B．smoothly C．politely D．normally 6．A．read B．remain C．repeat D．reach 7．A．middle B．back C．top D．front 8．A．lucky B．difficult C．fresh D．possible 9．A．produce B．prevent C．require D．influence 10．A．match B．season C．address D．program 11．A．hardly B．still C．just D．even 12．A．until B．after C．since D．before 13．A．us B．her C．him D．them 14．A．stick B．dream C．group D．way 15．A．in B．of C．to D．for Passage 2 The 14th China Airshow was held from November 8th to 13th, 2024 in Zhuhai. Over 42 countries joined the show, such as America, Australia, the UK and many other countries. Among the different models of airplanes, the J-20 surprised many people. Drones (无人机) are one of the best inventions in recent years. They are light and easy to carry, so they are popular. Small drones are often used for taking photos and light shows. Larger ones can smartly carry things to far places—for example, Meituan Takeout uses them to deliver food or packages (包裹) to offices in big cities like Shenzhen and Shanghai. Drones also help farmers: they check crops’ growth at different times a day, letting farmers look after five times more land than before. Scientists use underwater drones to get ocean CO2 information, a new way to study and protect the ocean. Besides these uses, drones are also becoming heroes in our society. They can help search for lost people in the mountains or deliver important medical things to hospitals quickly. Sometimes, they can even save lives during natural disasters (灾害). However, some experts are worried that drones may cause some problems. They think that some people may use the drones to do some bad things. For example, there are probably some robberies (抢劫) caused by the drones. Maybe some people use drones to steal (偷) some secret documents. Some people may even use them to hurt people. So the government should do something to guide people to use the drones in a right way. 1．How long did the 2024 China Airshow last? A．5 days. B．6 days. C．13 days. D．42 days. 2．Why are drones popular? A．They are big. B．They are cheap C．They can fly fast. D．They are light and easy to carry. 3．How does the writer show the uses of drones? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving examples. C．By giving facts. D．By comparing with other tools. 4．What does the text suggest the government do? A．Guide right drone use. B．Stop using drones. C．Make more drones. D．Sell drones cheaply. 5．Which is the best title of the passage? A．The J-20 Drone at the 14th China Airshow B．How Drones Help People in Work and Life C．Drones: Uses, Problems and Proper Rules D．Why the Government Limits Bad Drone Use Passage 3 In a small town, a new kind of “postman” has started to send letters and small packages. But this postman isn’t a person-it’s a drone (无人机). The drone, called “Sky Carrier”, was developed by a group of high school students led by 16-year-old Leo. Before Sky Carrier, the town’s mail was slow. The post office was far, and bad weather often made the deliveries (递送) late. Leo’s grandmother, who lives alone, sometimes waited for weeks for her medicine. This gave Leo the idea to create a faster delivery method. The drone can carry items up to 2 kilograms and fly to places within 10 kilometers. It uses GPS to find the exact address. To receive a package, people just need to put a special colored mat (垫子) in their yard. The drone detects the mat and lands safely. Not everyone was happy at first. Some people worried about safety and noise. Leo and his team listened carefully. They added a quieter motor and made sure the drone always flew at a safe height. They also gave a report at the town meeting to explain how it worked. Slowly, people started to trust the drone. Now, many elderly people and busy families depend on it for important deliveries. “Technology should serve people,” Leo says. “Seeing our drone help my grandmother and neighbors is the best reward.” 1．What is the main purpose of the drone “Sky Carrier” ? A．To watch the weather. B．To take photos of the town. C．To help students learn about GPS. D．To deliver mail and small packages. 2．What gave Leo the idea to create the method? A．A science project at school. B．His interest in flying machines. C．The town’s need for a new post office. D．The slow mail service for his grandmother. 3．How did Leo and his team deal with people’s worries? A．They trusted the villagers. B．They stopped using the drone. C．They asked the post office for help. D．They made the drone quieter and safer. 4．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．How to Use a Drone Safely. B．Problems of Small Town Life. C．A New Invention for Delivery. D．The History of the Post Office. Passage 4 A robotic dog runs around a power station to check on it. The robotic dog has two cameras. 1 It is just one example of the wide use of high technology. The robotic dog needs to check a 1,100 kilometer-long power line. The long power line totally runs 3,284 kilometers from northwest China’s Xinjiang to the eastern province of Anhui. 2 There are not enough workers at the power station. 3 But now robots have begun to change the condition. In Xinhe, a town in Chizhou, Anhui, which is surrounded (环绕) by mountains, a white drone (无人机) began its task in the mountains. Within half an hour, it has completed its 80-kilometer checking task. The high mountains make work quite difficult and dangerous. 4 Firefighters at another power station also use a robot. The robot can help them find fires as soon as possible. 5 They can take the place of humans to do many dangerous jobs. They will certainly have more uses in the future. And we expect that human beings will invent more robots and make better use of them. A．In a word, robots have been used in many different fields. B．They can clearly find out what’s wrong with the power station. C．The drone can fly higher than any other machine. D．So it is difficult to keep the power station running well. E．Drones provide an effective (有效的) way, thanks to their high speed. F．The “electric highway” is longer than any other power line in the world. 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 2 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 5 Power of Ideas.创意的力量 单元阅读精练 版块 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 时文阅读 PassageA 阅读理解 说明文 206 介绍了荷兰埃因霍温理工大学学生团队发明的ZEM电动汽车 PassageB 阅读理解 说明文 333 讲述18岁高中生Zach开发卡路里识别APP Cal AI 真题示例 Passage1 短文填空 说明文 270 介绍科学家研发企鹅外形机器人 Passage2 阅读还原 说明文 291 讲述麻省理工学院研究人员预估2050年发出回收塑料混合玻璃的新型材料3D打印建筑桁架 模拟演练 Passage1 完形填空 说明文 333 介绍了一款名为Seatrac的太阳能海滩轮椅系统，它帮助坐轮椅的残疾人更轻松、安全地进入海洋享受游泳，体现了科技对人文关怀的促进。 Passage2 阅读理解 说明文 272 介绍了2024年第14届中国航展以及无人机的多种用途 Passage3 阅读理解 说明文 235 讲述了高中生Leo带领团队发明无人机“Sky Carrier”，用于解决小镇邮递缓慢问题，为居民提供更高效的包裹和信件递送服务。 Passage4 阅读还原 说明文 189 介绍了机器狗、无人机等设备解决人工巡检不足、危险等问题的案例，最后总结机器人的应用前景。 1.A single bright idea can light up a whole dark age. – Old English Proverb 一念灵光，可照亮一整个黑暗时代。—— 英语古谚语 2.Thoughts are the wings that carry human progress forward. – Old English Proverb 思想是载着人类前行的羽翼。—— 英语古谚语 3.Great power lies not in strength, but in powerful ideas. – Old English Proverb 真正的力量不在体魄，而在思想。—— 英语古谚语 4.Every world change begins with a brave new thought. – Old English Proverb 世间所有变革，皆始于一个勇敢的新想法。—— 英语古谚语 5.Wisdom thoughts are the eternal treasure of mankind. – Latin Proverb 智慧思想，是人类永恒的财富。—— 拉丁谚语 6.One noble idea can break the chains of old ignorance. – Latin Proverb 一个崇高的理念，便能打破愚昧的枷锁。—— 拉丁谚语 7.Minds with creative thoughts guide the direction of times. – Latin Proverb 拥有创思的头脑，指引时代前行的方向。—— 拉丁谚语 8..Ideas passed down keep the spirit of ages alive. – Latin Proverb 代代相传的思想，让时代精神永不湮灭。—— 拉丁谚语 9..A wise mind breeds endless innovative ideas. – Ancient Chinese Wisdom 智思不绝，新意自生。—— 中国古训 10.A single great thought can benefit thousands of generations. – Ancient Chinese Wisdom 一计良思，利泽千秋万代。—— 中国古训 11.Open your mind, and new wisdom will come to you. – Ancient Chinese Wisdom 心门常开，智慧自来。—— 中国古训 12.Bold thinking creates new paths for the world. – Ancient Chinese Wisdom 思有新意，路自新生。—— 中国古训 13、Never let your creative ideas fade away easily. – Western Common Saying 切莫轻易让心中创想消散。—— 西方民间俗语 14.Share your good ideas, and the world will become better. – Western Common Saying 分享良思，世界愈佳。—— 西方民间俗语 15.Train your mind to think, or you will lose your power of ideas. – Western Common Saying 勤思健脑，否则思想之力终将消退。—— 西方民间俗语 Passage A（荷兰埃因霍温理工大学学生团队发明的ZEM电动汽车） A team of 32 students at the Eindhoven University of Technology has created an electric car that can remove CO2 from the air while it drives down the road.

A new app called Cal AI can help. All you have to do is take a photo of your food, and the app will tell you how many calories it has. It can also show you what nutrients (营养物) are in your dish. Cal AI was created by Zach Yadegari, an 18-year-old student. In 2023, Zach tried using another calorie-counting app called MyFitnessPal to record his meals. But typing in everything he ate took too much time. “It was very boring and hard to use,” Zach said. After just three days, he gave up. Zach wanted something faster and smarter. So, he teamed up with his high school friends to make a better app. Together, they trained Cal AI using pictures from three different AI models. The app can know both simple and complex (复杂的) foods, like sandwiches and packaged snacks. It has also learned to guess how much food is on the plate by matching photos to the standard servings. Today, Cal AI is 90% correct, and it keeps improving with help from users. Since it came out in May 2024, it has been downloaded over five million times. In February 2025 alone, the app earned over $2 million! One big reason for its success is social media. Zach gets in touch with fitness influencers and asks them to talk about Cal AI. Their followers see the posts, try the app and share it with others. As a result, it has become very popular among young users aged 15-25. Zach finished high school this summer with top grades. Even though he has been accepted by several universities, he plans to take a gap year. He wants to make Cal AI even more correct and help people of all ages eat more healthily. This young coder (程序员) isn’t slowing down — he’s just getting started. 1．Why did Zach give up using MyFitnessPal? A．Because it was boring and hard to use. B．Because it was too expensive. C．Because it had too few food pictures. D．Because it couldn’t record calories. 2．What can we know from Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4? A．Cal AI can know all kinds of food without mistakes. B．Cal AI became correct with training and users’ help. C．Cal AI’s success made Zach drop out of high school. D．Cal AI was created to help Zach’s friends record calories. 3．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A．Users of Cal AI. B．Followers of fitness influencers. C．Fitness influencers. D．Universities that accepted Zach. 4．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Zach wasn’t accepted by any university, so he planned a gap year. B．Zach will stop working on Cal AI once he starts his university life. C．Zach needs to work to earn money for university during the gap year. D．Zach wants to spend time making Cal AI better before going to university. 5．What’s the main idea of the text? A．A teen coder creates a smart app to count calories. B．A calorie app (MyFitnessPal) has some disadvantages. C．People use a calorie-counting app to eat more healthily. D．Social media helps an app (Cal AI) become successful. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．A 【解析】本文是人物科普说明文，主要讲述18岁高中生Zach开发卡路里识别APP Cal AI 的过程、产品功能、走红原因以及他未来的规划，介绍这款拍照识别食物热量智能软件的诞生与发展。 1．第二段中“It was very boring and hard to use.”可知，这款APP既枯燥又难用。 2．第四段中“Today, Cal AI is 90% correct, and it keeps improving with help from users.”，说明经过训练和用户反馈，这款APP准确率不断提升。 3．“them”所在句子为“Zach gets in touch with fitness influencers and asks them to talk about Cal AI.”，them 指代前面的fitness influencers健身博主。 4．最后一段中“he has been accepted by several universities, he plans to take a gap year.

Recently a new kind of robot which looks like a penguin has been developed. The penguin robot helps scientists get closer to emperor penguins (帝企鹅) to know more about their behaviour (行为). Emperor penguins are famous as shy animals. They usually feel nervous and run away when scientists go towards them. This will cause problems to their hearts. To solve it, a team of scientists created a remote control vehicle (遥控车). This vehicle allowed the scientists to study the penguins from over 200 metres away. It could move up to the penguins slowly and quietly without making them run away. It was also used to help make the documentary (纪录片) March of the Penguins. The scientists still wanted to watch emperor penguins much closer. After trying many times, they developed their latest robot which was like a little grey penguin. It had four black wheels, two black arms and a black-and-white painted face. The wheels were prepared for the robot to walk on the thick snow easily. This new robot didn’t scare (惊吓) the penguins. They even sang songs to welcome the robot and listened for a response. But the penguins were very unhappy when there was no answer. The scientists didn’t programme (编写程序) the penguin robot to make a sound. Next time they will have the robot sing songs. Thanks to the robots, scientists could do much more research on emperor penguins. 1．Why was the penguin robot developed? A．To know about scientists’ heart problems. B．To help scientists walk on the thick snow. C．To learn about emperor penguins’ behaviour. D．To help emperor penguins look for more food. 2．How do emperor penguins feel when scientists go towards them? A．Sad. B．Angry. C．Excited. D．Nervous. 3．What does the word “response” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Plan. B．Answer. C．Lesson. D．Reason. 4．What will the penguin robot do next time according to the passage? A．Sing songs. B．Swim in the sea. C．Take photos. D．Dance on the snow. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．Penguins in the film. B．Penguins in the zoo. C．Robots for daily housework. D．Robots for studying penguins. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 5．D 【解析】本文介绍科学家研发企鹅外形机器人，因帝企鹅生性胆小，普通靠近会刺激它们，这款机器人能近距离观察帝企鹅行为，企鹅甚至主动对它鸣叫，未来机器人还将加装发声功能。 1．原文第一段“The penguin robot helps scientists get closer to emperor penguins to know more about their behaviour.” ，研发企鹅机器人的目的是近距离观察、了解帝企鹅的行为。 2．原文“第二段“They usually feel nervous and run away when scientists go towards them.”，当科学家靠近时，帝企鹅会感到紧张并逃跑。 3．原文第三段“They even sang songs to welcome the robot and listened for a response. But the penguins were very unhappy when there was no answer.”，后文no answer是同义提示，response意为“回应、答复”。 4．原文第三段“Next time they will have the robot sing songs.”，科学家还没给机器人设置发声程序，下一步会让机器人唱歌。 5．全文围绕用来研究帝企鹅的两款机器人展开，讲述研发原因、外形、使用效果和升级计划。选项D能够概括全文。 Passage2 （2026·广西·中考真题） Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have estimated (估计) that the world may need about 1 billion new homes by 2050. According to a researcher from MIT, if people use wood to make so many homes, more than three times the size of the Amazon rainforest may be cut. The MIT researchers tried to find other materials to take the place of wood to make house parts. And they found recycled plastic could play a role. The MIT team discovered that recycled plastic mixed with bits of glass could be used as a new material to make trusses (桁架)—supports put under floors to make sure that the floors can carry the weight of everything on them. The MIT team wanted to know how much weight the trusses could carry. In a test, they 3D printed four trusses with the new material. Each truss weighed only about 6 kg—lighter than a comparable wooden truss. The team put the four trusses under a wooden floor model and slowly added heavy weights on the floor. Through the test, the team found the four trusses could sustain objects weighing more than 1,800 kg—about the weight of a car. This showed trusses made from the new material were strong enough to be used in house building in America. The finding may benefit house building a lot. It will be much easier to send house parts made from this new material to different places. What’s more, the researchers say it is possible to bring down the cost of making house parts. The researchers hope that one day they can 3D print more house parts with the new material, so that more used plastic could be turned into something useful. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 1．How many new homes may the world need by 2050 according to the MIT researchers? A．About 1 billion. B．About 2 billion. C．About 3 billion. 2．What is the new material made from? A．Recycled plastic and glass. B．Recycled plastic and wood. C．Recycled plastic and stone. 3．What does the underlined word “sustain” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A．Increase. B．Avoid. C．Hold. 4．What can we learn about the 3D-printed trusses in the test? A．They were big enough to support house floors. B．They were strong enough for house building. C．They were small enough to be put in a car. 5．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．3D Printing Solves Housing Problems B．Recycled Plastic Finds New Life in Houses C．Recycling Plastic Reduces Environmental Pollution 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．B 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述麻省理工学院研究人员预估2050年全球需大量新建住房，若大量使用木材会破坏雨林，团队研发出回收塑料混合玻璃的新型材料3D打印建筑桁架，测试证实其承重达标，该材料还具备运输、成本优势，可回收废旧塑料用于建房。 1．第一段首句“Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have estimated that the world may need about 1 billion new homes by 2050.”，直接说明到2050年全球大约需要10亿套新建住房。 2．第二段“The MIT team discovered that recycled plastic mixed with bits of glass could be used as a new material to make trusses”，表明新材料由回收塑料和玻璃碎料混合制成。 3．第三段实验描述：团队在地板模型上不断加重物，桁架能够sustain超1800千克的物体，结合后文证明桁架承重合格，该词意为“支撑、承受”，与hold同义。 4．第三段末句“This showed trusses made from the new material were strong enough to be used in house building in America.”，说明3D打印桁架强度足以用于房屋建造，文中未提及尺寸大小、可放进汽车相关内容。 5．全文核心围绕回收塑料搭配玻璃制作建房材料展开，A夸大3D打印作用，C只侧重环保污染未体现建房核心，“Recycled Plastic Finds New Life in Houses”精准概括文章主线，为最佳标题。 Passage 1 There are many beautiful things we can do in our daily lives.

Over 42 countries joined the show, such as America, Australia, the UK and many other countries. Among the different models of airplanes, the J-20 surprised many people. Drones (无人机) are one of the best inventions in recent years. They are light and easy to carry, so they are popular. Small drones are often used for taking photos and light shows. Larger ones can smartly carry things to far places—for example, Meituan Takeout uses them to deliver food or packages (包裹) to offices in big cities like Shenzhen and Shanghai. Drones also help farmers: they check crops’ growth at different times a day, letting farmers look after five times more land than before. Scientists use underwater drones to get ocean CO2 information, a new way to study and protect the ocean. Besides these uses, drones are also becoming heroes in our society. They can help search for lost people in the mountains or deliver important medical things to hospitals quickly. Sometimes, they can even save lives during natural disasters (灾害). However, some experts are worried that drones may cause some problems. They think that some people may use the drones to do some bad things. For example, there are probably some robberies (抢劫) caused by the drones. Maybe some people use drones to steal (偷) some secret documents. Some people may even use them to hurt people. So the government should do something to guide people to use the drones in a right way. 1．How long did the 2024 China Airshow last? A．5 days. B．6 days. C．13 days. D．42 days. 2．Why are drones popular?

But this postman isn’t a person-it’s a drone (无人机). The drone, called “Sky Carrier”, was developed by a group of high school students led by 16-year-old Leo. Before Sky Carrier, the town’s mail was slow. The post office was far, and bad weather often made the deliveries (递送) late. Leo’s grandmother, who lives alone, sometimes waited for weeks for her medicine. This gave Leo the idea to create a faster delivery method. The drone can carry items up to 2 kilograms and fly to places within 10 kilometers. It uses GPS to find the exact address. To receive a package, people just need to put a special colored mat (垫子) in their yard. The drone detects the mat and lands safely. Not everyone was happy at first. Some people worried about safety and noise. Leo and his team listened carefully. They added a quieter motor and made sure the drone always flew at a safe height. They also gave a report at the town meeting to explain how it worked. Slowly, people started to trust the drone. Now, many elderly people and busy families depend on it for important deliveries. “Technology should serve people,” Leo says. “Seeing our drone help my grandmother and neighbors is the best reward.” 1．What is the main purpose of the drone “Sky Carrier” ? A．To watch the weather. B．To take photos of the town. C．To help students learn about GPS. D．To deliver mail and small packages. 2．What gave Leo the idea to create the method?

The drone, called ‘Sky Carrier’”，说明“Sky Carrier”的主要用途是递送信件和小包裹。 2．文中第2段提到“Leo’s grandmother, who lives alone, sometimes waited for weeks for her medicine. This gave Leo the idea to create a faster delivery method”，说明是祖母因邮递缓慢而长时间等不到药品的经历，让Leo产生了发明更快递送方式的想法。 3．文中第4段提到“They added a quieter motor and made sure the drone always flew at a safe height”，说明Leo和团队通过让无人机更安静、更安全来解决人们的担忧。 4．全文围绕用于递送的新发明无人机“Sky Carrier”展开，介绍了它的发明背景、功能及发展，选项C“A New Invention for Delivery”最能概括文章主旨。 Passage 4 A robotic dog runs around a power station to check on it. The robotic dog has two cameras. 1 It is just one example of the wide use of high technology. The robotic dog needs to check a 1,100 kilometer-long power line. The long power line totally runs 3,284 kilometers from northwest China’s Xinjiang to the eastern province of Anhui. 2 There are not enough workers at the power station. 3 But now robots have begun to change the condition. In Xinhe, a town in Chizhou, Anhui, which is surrounded (环绕) by mountains, a white drone (无人机) began its task in the mountains. Within half an hour, it has completed its 80-kilometer checking task. The high mountains make work quite difficult and dangerous. 4 Firefighters at another power station also use a robot. The robot can help them find fires as soon as possible. 5 They can take the place of humans to do many dangerous jobs. They will certainly have more uses in the future. And we expect that human beings will invent more robots and make better use of them. A．In a word, robots have been used in many different fields. B．They can clearly find out what’s wrong with the power station. C．The drone can fly higher than any other machine. D．So it is difficult to keep the power station running well. E．Drones provide an effective (有效的) way, thanks to their high speed. F．The “electric highway” is longer than any other power line in the world. 【答案】1．B 2．F 3．D 4．E 5．A 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，围绕高科技机器人在电力巡检领域的应用展开，介绍了机器狗、无人机等设备解决人工巡检不足、危险等问题的案例，最后总结机器人的应用前景。 1．上文提到“The robotic dog has two cameras.”，空格需要承接上文，说明机器狗设备的实际功能。选项B“They can clearly find out what’s wrong with the power station.”直接说明机器狗巡检的作用，呼应上文检查电站的设定，符合逻辑。 2．上文介绍了从新疆到安徽的超长电力线路，说明了该线路的总长度，空格需要承接上文对长线路的描述，做补充说明。选项F“The ‘electric highway’ is longer than any other power line in the world.”对这条超长线路做定性补充，呼应上文的长度描述，逻辑通顺。 3．上文提出“There are not enough workers at the power station.”，下文指出“But now robots have begun to change the condition.”，空格需要说明“工人不足”带来的结果，引出后文机器人解决问题的内容。选项D“So it is difficult to keep the power station running well.”顺承上文的问题，形成因果逻辑，刚好引出后文改变现状的内容。 4．上文提到山区人工巡检的难点“The high mountains make work quite difficult and dangerous.”，前文已经说明无人机半小时完成80公里巡检任务，空格需要衔接人工巡检的困难，说明无人机的解决作用。选项E“Drones provide an effective (有效的) way, thanks to their high speed.”呼应前文无人机的高效率，刚好给出困难的解决方案，符合逻辑。 5．下文总结机器人的作用“They can take the place of humans to do many dangerous jobs.”，是全文的总结段落。空格位于总结段段首，需要开启总结内容。选项A“In a word, robots have been used in many different fields.”是典型的全文总结过渡句，刚好引出下文对机器人前景的描述，符合总结段的逻辑。 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 2 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
