B When I was young, my father inspired my love for astronomy and space exploration by taking me outside at night to observe the stars. Together, we learned to identify constellations (星座), and I felt drawn to the power of the universe. Now, as a master’s student in Stanford’s Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, I am pursuing that early wonder. I chose Stanford because it combines cutting-edge technology with real-world impact. Here, engineering is purposeful — aimed at creating change beyond oneself. To me, space offers a platform for large-scale positive impact. I want to use it not only to advance technology, but to help ordinary people and address major challenges. Examples include using satellites to monitor climate and detect wildfires, or applying microgravity environments to develop new medicines and materials. In my program, I take and assist in courses covering all aspects of the space environment — from guidance systems to spacecraft design. Beyond the classroom, I explore space entrepreneurship as a member of the Threshold Venture Fellow program, which gives students a front-row seat to startup creation, I am passionate about innovation and hope to see more women taking the lead in this field. Aerospace has long been taken over by men, with women facing many one-sided views. Since high school, I have worked to change this through a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) outreach program, teaching scientific concepts to young girls in schools that lack sufficient resources. My father once showed me historical figures like Hypatia, the ancient astronomer and mathematician, proving that women have long been pioneers in science. What I value greatly about Stanford is its interdisciplinary (跨学科) culture. As an engineer, I can take classes in law or ethics, which help me consider space innovation from multiple perspectives. Debating was a favorite hobby of mine growing up, and that skill is particularly useful in a field full of uncharted questions. Since my bike broke early in the term, I’ve been walking everywhere. The campus is beautiful, and walking allows me time to think, plan, and relax. It is a peaceful routine in a busy life — and a gentle reminder to keep moving forward, step by step. 4. What does the author aim to illustrate by mentioning the examples in paragraph 2? A. Stanford’s leadership in space technology. B. The real-world value of space-related work. C. The main courses of her major at Stanford. D. The difficulty of solving global challenges. 5. What does the Threshold Venture Fellow program offer? A. Hands-on experience in startup creation. B. Guidance on spacecraft design. C. Chances to assist in college courses. D. Courses in environmental art. 6. What can we infer about the author? A. She dislikes interdisciplinary courses. B. She once worked as a historical astronomer. C. She walks to avoid bike traffic on campus. D. She wants to empower women in STEM. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. Ways to study law or ethics at Stanford. B. The beauty of Stanford’s campus scenery. C. A student’s love for space and her efforts. D. The role of women in space-related fields. C A recent robot sports competition showed humanoid robots running, falling, getting up, and continuing to the finish line. This event reflects the current state of AI and has raised public awareness. At the same time, rising AI stock (股票) prices show that investors are optimistic about its future. In China, using AI in work and daily life has become a national goal. Last month, the State Council released a plan for the “AI+” initiative. This plan aims to bring AI into all industries over 10 years, in three stages, to build new smart economic and social systems. A survey shows that 53.1% of people are excited about AI, 26% are pleasantly surprised, and 11% feel negative. This optimism comes from the belief that AI will change life just like mobile internet did. This is similar to the success of China’s “Internet+” plan over the past ten years, which helped improve industries and people’s lives. However, AI also brings worries. Some fear that AI “silicon (硅)-based workers” might take human jobs, and that relying too much on AI could weaken human thinking skills. Research from MIT found that people who use AI a lot have weaker brain connections. Other current problems include “black boxes” (when AI gives unpredictable results because it learns from data) and “model hallucinations” (when AI gives wrong answers based on untested data). Although some people are worried, this will not stop AI from moving forward. As an important area in global competition, AI’s development is certain. The “AI+” plan also focuses on safety and includes rules to prevent misuse. Like other major new technologies in the past, AI will need time to improve. Experts say today’s problems will help the industry become more careful and lead to important breakthroughs in the future. 8. What is the main goal of China’s “AI+” initiative mentioned in the text? A. To reduce the price of AI stocks. B. To combine AI with all industries. C. To stop people from using AI in daily life. D. To make AI robots win all sports competitions. 9. Why are many people optimistic about AI? A. Because they think AI will change life. B. Because AI will replace all human jobs. C. Because AI can solve all health problems. D. Because AI robots are faster than humans. 10. What does the underlined phrase “model hallucinations” mean? A. AI robots making errors during tasks. B. Weaker brain connections in AI users. C. AI mistakes caused by unproven data. D. Unpredictable results from AI learning from data. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward AI’s future? A. Totally indifferent, ignoring AI. B. Fully negative, fearing job losses. C. Deeply doubtful, questioning AI’s value. D. Cautiously hopeful, balancing risks and progress. D According to YouGov, 88% of Americans have positive feelings about French fries. In short: People love them. However, this delicious side dish is also clearly not-so-great for you. But hold on, fry lovers — researchers may have found a potential solution. Instead of asking people to give up fries altogether, some scientists are exploring whether the way they’re cooked could make a meaningful difference. In 2025, researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign published their findings on creating a better-for-you French fry, using a technique called “microwave frying”. It helps to first understand what happens to fries when they’re prepared the traditional way. As the potato heats up, the water inside it begins to evaporate (蒸发). This, however, leaves behind tiny pockets, which then create a force pulling the oil inside. Think about a straw in a drink. If you suck on the straw, the liquid moves upward. Now, imagine food materials have lots of tiny straws. When there is positive pressure, the oil stays out. But if there is negative pressure, the oil starts moving in. As much as 90% of the frying process occurs under this negative pressure. But microwaving may be able to assist in this particular part of the process. When we heat something in a conventional oven, the heat moves from outside to inside. But a microwave oven heats from the inside out. The higher pressure in microwaves helps reduce oil penetration (渗透). But microwaving alone won’t cook the fries the way we know and love. “If you just use microwave frying, your food turns out too soft.” Takhar said. “To obtain crispiness (松脆), you need conventional heating. Therefore, we propose combining the two approaches in the same unit. Conventional heating maintains the crispiness, while microwave heating lowers the oil intake.” The best news is that restaurants may not need new equipment. Existing large commercial fryers can be upgraded with affordable, widely available microwave generators. 12. What are scientists trying to improve about fries? A. Their taste. B. Their kitchen popularity. C. Their health effects. D. Their cooking equipment. 13. Which is the correct order of the traditional frying process? ① Oil entry. ② Water loss. ③ Negative pressure. ④ Pocket formation. A. ① → ③ → ② → ④ B. ② → ④ → ③ → ① C. ② → ① → ④ → ③ D. ③ → ④ → ② → ① 14. How do microwaves reduce oil intake? A. By increasing pressure. B. By drying water faster. C. By creating holes within. D. By heating from outside in. 15. What can be inferred about the new method? A. It is a two-in-one method. B. It remains hard to test. C. It needs costly equipment. D. It has been widely used. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The use of spanking (打屁股) to punish children has greatly reduced. But yelling (大喊大叫)? ___16___ Yelling may be the most widespread parental stupidity around today. How many times in your parenting life have you said to yourself, after yelling at your kids, “Well, that was a good decision⋯”? Yelling doesn’t make you look authoritative (权威的). ___17___ It makes you look weak. And you’re yelling, let’s be honest, because you are weak. Yelling, even more than spanking, is the response of a person who doesn’t know what else to do. But most parents find it hard to imagine how to get through the day without yelling. The new research on yelling presents parents with two problems: What do I do instead? ___18___ Yelling to stop your kids from running into traffic is not what we’ re talking about here. ___19___ Yelling for correction is ineffective as a tool. We yell at our kids over the same stuff every day, and we yell at them some more because the original yelling doesn’t work. “Only knowing that yelling is bad, in itself, won’t help.” said Alan Kazdin, a professor at Yale. ___20___ “If the goal of the parent is catharsis (宣泄), I want to get this out of my system and show you how mad I am. Well, yelling is probably perfect.” Dr. Kazdin said. “If the goal here is to change something in the child or develop a positive habit in the child, yelling is not the way to do that. There are other strategies, and they don’t include yelling.” A. And how do I stop? B. But when should I stop doing that? C. We’ re talking about yelling as a form of correction. D. In fact, it makes you look out of control to your kids. E. Yelling is not a strategy; it’s a form of emotional expression. F. Yelling, obviously, does great harm to children than you imagine. G. Almost everybody still yells at their kids sometimes, even those who know it doesn’t work. 二、语言知识运用（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For 32 years, Mr. Williams cut hair for only six dollars, the same price he set in 1987, and never once ____21____ it.

In short: People love them. However, this delicious side dish is also clearly not-so-great for you. But hold on, fry lovers — researchers may have found a potential solution. Instead of asking people to give up fries altogether, some scientists are exploring whether the way they’re cooked could make a meaningful difference. In 2025, researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign published their findings on creating a better-for-you French fry, using a technique called “microwave frying”. It helps to first understand what happens to fries when they’re prepared the traditional way. As the potato heats up, the water inside it begins to evaporate (蒸发). This, however, leaves behind tiny pockets, which then create a force pulling the oil inside. Think about a straw in a drink. If you suck on the straw, the liquid moves upward. Now, imagine food materials have lots of tiny straws. When there is positive pressure, the oil stays out. But if there is negative pressure, the oil starts moving in. As much as 90% of the frying process occurs under this negative pressure. But microwaving may be able to assist in this particular part of the process. When we heat something in a conventional oven, the heat moves from outside to inside. But a microwave oven heats from the inside out. The higher pressure in microwaves helps reduce oil penetration (渗透). But microwaving alone won’t cook the fries the way we know and love. “If you just use microwave frying, your food turns out too soft.” Takhar said. “To obtain crispiness (松脆), you need conventional heating. Therefore, we propose combining the two approaches in the same unit. Conventional heating maintains the crispiness, while microwave heating lowers the oil intake.” The best news is that restaurants may not need new equipment. Existing large commercial fryers can be upgraded with affordable, widely available microwave generators. 12. What are scientists trying to improve about fries? A. Their taste. B. Their kitchen popularity. C. Their health effects. D. Their cooking equipment. 13. Which is the correct order of the traditional frying process? ① Oil entry. ② Water loss. ③ Negative pressure. ④ Pocket formation. A. ① → ③ → ② → ④ B. ② → ④ → ③ → ① C. ② → ① → ④ → ③ D. ③ → ④ → ② → ① 14. How do microwaves reduce oil intake? A. By increasing pressure. B. By drying water faster. C. By creating holes within. D. By heating from outside in. 15. What can be inferred about the new method? A. It is a two-in-one method. B. It remains hard to test. C. It needs costly equipment. D. It has been widely used. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了美国人大多喜爱薯条，但传统油炸吸油多不利于健康。研究提出微波 + 传统加热复合炸制工艺，依靠微波升压减吸油、传统加热保酥脆，现有炸锅可低成本改造使用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“However, this delicious side dish is also clearly not-so-great for you. But hold on, fry lovers — researchers may have found a potential solution.(不过，这道美味的配菜显然对你来说也不太理想。但等等，油炸食品爱好者们——研究人员或许找到了一个潜在的解决方案)”以及第二段“In 2025, researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign published their findings on creating a better-for-you French fry, using a technique called “microwave frying”.(2025年，伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校的研究人员发表了一项研究结果，提出了一种名为“微波油炸”的技术，用于制作更健康的薯条)”可知，科学家们试图改善薯条的健康影响。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As the potato heats up, the water inside it begins to evaporate (蒸发). This, however, leaves behind tiny pockets, which then create a force pulling the oil inside.(当土豆加热时，内部的水分开始蒸发。然而，这会留下微小的空隙，从而产生一个向内拉扯油分的力量)”可知，顺序为：失水→形成小孔→负压产生→油脂渗入。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The higher pressure in microwaves helps reduce oil penetration (渗透).(微波中的更高压力有助于减少油的渗透)”可知，微波通过增加压力减少油的摄入。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Therefore, we propose combining the two approaches in the same unit.(因此，我们建议在同一装置中结合这两种方法)”可知，新方法是一种二合一的方法。 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The use of spanking (打屁股) to punish children has greatly reduced. But yelling (大喊大叫)? ___16___ Yelling may be the most widespread parental stupidity around today. How many times in your parenting life have you said to yourself, after yelling at your kids, “Well, that was a good decision⋯”? Yelling doesn’t make you look authoritative (权威的). ___17___ It makes you look weak. And you’re yelling, let’s be honest, because you are weak. Yelling, even more than spanking, is the response of a person who doesn’t know what else to do. But most parents find it hard to imagine how to get through the day without yelling. The new research on yelling presents parents with two problems: What do I do instead? ___18___ Yelling to stop your kids from running into traffic is not what we’ re talking about here. ___19___ Yelling for correction is ineffective as a tool. We yell at our kids over the same stuff every day, and we yell at them some more because the original yelling doesn’t work. “Only knowing that yelling is bad, in itself, won’t help.” said Alan Kazdin, a professor at Yale. ___20___ “If the goal of the parent is catharsis (宣泄), I want to get this out of my system and show you how mad I am. Well, yelling is probably perfect.” Dr. Kazdin said. “If the goal here is to change something in the child or develop a positive habit in the child, yelling is not the way to do that. There are other strategies, and they don’t include yelling.” A. And how do I stop? B. But when should I stop doing that? C. We’ re talking about yelling as a form of correction. D. In fact, it makes you look out of control to your kids. E. Yelling is not a strategy; it’s a form of emotional expression. F. Yelling, obviously, does great harm to children than you imagine. G. Almost everybody still yells at their kids sometimes, even those who know it doesn’t work. 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. A 19. C 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了家长对孩子吼叫这种教育方式是不明智的。 【16题详解】 根据下文的“Yelling may be the most widespread parental stupidity around today.(大喊大叫可能是当今父母最普遍的愚蠢行为)”可知，通过吼叫的方式教育孩子是如今父母普遍最愚蠢的做法。G项“几乎每个人都会时不时对自己的孩子大喊大叫，即使那些知道吼叫的方式不起作用的人也会如此”表示客观现象，符合语境。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据该空上下句“Yelling doesn’t make you look authoritative (权威的).(大喊大叫不会让你看起来很权威)”和“It makes you look weak.(这会让你看起来很软弱)”可知，吼叫的方式不会帮助你树立权威。这实际上只会让孩子觉得你失控，让你看起来软弱无能。D项“事实上，这会让你的孩子觉得你不受控制”可承接上下文，符合语境。故选D。 【18题详解】 此处为前一句“But most parents find it hard to imagine how to get through the day without yelling. The new research on yelling presents parents with two problems: What do I do instead?(但大多数父母发现很难想象如何度过一天而不大喊大叫。这项关于吼叫的新研究给父母们提出了两个问题：我该怎么办？)”指出的并列的两个问题。本段陈述了大多数家长发现不用吼叫的方式难以度过一天。关于吼叫的最新研究向父母提出了两个问题：我应该怎么做？要怎么改掉这个习惯？A项“我该如何停止？”符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 此空和前一句“Yelling to stop your kids from running into traffic is not what we’ re talking about here.(大喊大叫让你的孩子不要冲进车流不是我们在这里讨论的问题)”是对比转折关系。上文提到这里讨论的，不是你大声吼叫提醒孩子小心汽车。C项“我们说的是把吼叫作为一种纠正方式”承接上文，下文的“Yelling for correction is ineffective as a tool.(作为一种工具，大喊大叫要求纠正是无效的)”也是提示。故选C。 【20题详解】 根据上文““Only knowing that yelling is bad, in itself, won’t help.” said Alan Kazdin, a professor at Yale.(“只知道大喊大叫本身是不好的，并没有帮助。”耶鲁大学教授Alan Kazdin说)”可知，从耶鲁大学的教授说的话可知， 仅仅知道大吼大叫本身不好是没有用的。大吼大叫其实并非是一种管教孩子的策略，而是一种情感表达方式。根据最后一句中的关键词strategies可推知此空答案。E项“大喊大叫不是一种策略；它是情感表达的一种形式”符合语境，故选E。 二、语言知识运用（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For 32 years, Mr. Williams cut hair for only six dollars, the same price he set in 1987, and never once ____21____ it.

A. is built; offers B. is being built; will offer C. builds; will be offered D. is building; offers 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查动词的时态和语态。句意：现在我们小区附近正在建一座新的社区中心，明年它将为居民提供免费的体育设施。and前面的分句的时间状语是now，要用现在进行时，主语A new community center()是单数名词，无法发出动作，要用现在进行时的被动语态is being+过去分词built。and后面的分句用next year作时间状语，主语it指前句中的A new community center(一座新的社区中心)，它和谓语offer之间是主动关系，即“它提供免费的体育设施”，要用一般将来时的主动语态will offer。故选B。 53. — John! You should stay where you are, unless ________ to leave. — Don’t worry! When ________ him to leave, I noticed he planted himself like an oak taking root. A. asked; asked B. asking; asking C. asked; asking D. asking; asked 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查状语从句中的省略。句意：—— 约翰！你应该待在原地，除非有人让你离开。—— 别担心！当我让他离开时，我注意到他像一棵扎根的橡树一样站在那里。第一空为unless引导的条件状语从句中的省略，从句主语和主句主语一致，且从句中含有be动词时，可以省略“主语+be动词”，ask与逻辑主语you之间为被动关系，所以完整形式为“unless you are asked to leave”，此处省略了“you are”，所以第一空用过去分词 asked；第二空为when引导的时间状语从句的省略结构，ask与主语I之间为主动关系，其完整形式是“When I was asking him to leave”，省略了“I was”，所以第二空用现在分词asking。故选C项。 54. At present, a large number of wild animals ________ at the nature reserve in Sichuan Province. A. is protecting B. is being protected C. are protecting D. are being protected 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：目前，大量野生动物正在在四川省自然保护区被保护。根据时间状语at present可知，句子描述现在正在进行的动作，应用现在进行时，protect与主语a large number of wild animals之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，且a large number of+复数名词作主语时，be动词使用are。故选D项。 55. The instructions _________ on the package are surprisingly easy _________, even for first-time users with no technical background. A. printing; to follow B. printed; to be followed C. printed; to follow D. printing; following 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词的用法。句意：印在包装上的说明书出人意料地容易看懂，即使是没有技术背景的新手用户也能轻松理解。第一空instructions和print之间是被动关系，需用过去分词作后置定语表被动；第二空在“be+形容词+to do”结构中，不定式用主动形式表被动含义，因此用to follow。故填C。 四、语法填空（共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分） Wu Zhenpeng, a 32-year-old IT engineer from Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province, was hailing a taxi to reach home after work.
