(来源:BBC Science Focus Magazine) Scientists have developed a new way to hunt for hidden signals of past life, and say it could assist in the search for extraterrestrial organisms on other planets.
Using cutting-edge chemical techniques paired with artificial intelligence, researchers found evidence of ancient life in 3.3-billion-year-old rocks from Earth. They hope the same approach could one day be applied to samples from Mars or icy ocean worlds such as Europa.
The research, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, involved analysing more than 400 samples from ancient sediments, fossils, modern plants and animals, fungi, and even meteorites to stress-test the new detection model.
The result? A system capable of distinguishing material left behind by life from non-biological samples with more than 90 per cent accuracy.
“This represents an inspiring example of how modern technology can shine a light on the planet’s most ancient stories and could reshape how we search for ancient life on Earth and other worlds,” said Dr Michael Wong, an astrobiologist and planetary scientist who co-authored the study. “This is a powerful new tool for astrobiology.”

Passage 1
(25-26高一下·广东·期末)Animal-like robots are popular. And yet, says Barbara Mazzolai, an Italian roboticist, the field of robotics is far less interested in exploring the other major category of living things — plants. She puts the unwillingness down to a common assumption that they are capable of neither motion nor perception (感知). “It’s not true at all,” she says.
Dr. Mazzolai and her team recently created FiloBot, a robot based on climbing plants. Like the real thing, FiloBot is capable of growing, attaching to and wrapping itself around supports, and adapting itself to an environment in response to external stimuli.
FiloBot imitates the behaviors of a climbing tree using sensors in its head which is also equipped with a layer of plastic and a heating element. By softening and extruding (挤压出) the plastic in a circular pattern, it can 3D-print its own body at a rate of two to seven millimeters per minute. Depending on brightness and direction, it changes the heat that the plastic is exposed to — lower temperatures result in a lighter body that increases in size more quickly, while higher temperatures make it thicker and stronger and grow more slowly.
The researchers found that these simple functionalities were enough to let FiloBot move through a complex and unseen environment, cross gaps and find things to attach to. The lack of heavy on-board computing hardware, they say, means that it moves easily and requires minimal monitoring, while its slow pace means that it doesn’t disturb things around it. They suppose that this makes it suitable for future applications including environmental monitoring in hard-to-reach locations, or monitoring disaster sites where existing equipment is unstable.
Dr. Mazzolai hopes that such projects will motivate other roboticists to draw inspiration from plants. The plant kingdom is a world, she says, with a completely different approach to the animal one. “And we can develop new technologies and artificial solutions, because it is so different.”

Passage 2
(25-26高二下·河南郑州·期末)Despite medical progress, treating bone breaks with many small pieces remains a big challenge. It is time-consuming and often leads to poor healing, greatly affecting patients’ quality of life. For over 40 years, Professor Fan Shunwu dreamed of a bone-gluing material and passed the task to post-90s doctor Lin Xianfeng. His inspiration came during a visit to his hometown, where the ancient Luoyang Bridge has stood firm for centuries despite the wearing effect of seawater.
The secret lies in oysters (牡蛎) raised under the bridge by ancient craftsmen. These shellfish produce adhesive (粘合的) threads and natural glue to attach tightly to granite piers (花岗岩桥墩). Their calcium-rich shells pile up layer by layer, filling gaps between stones and forming a strong barrier that defends the bridge against seawater. Instead of fighting the ocean, the craftsmen use the power of nature, which reflects the philosophy of learning from nature.
Drawing on this bionic (仿生学的) principle, the team overcame key technical difficulties. After years of testing, they created “Bone 02” with three core breakthroughs: strong, instant adhesion in blood-rich environments, easy application, and gradual biodegradability.
In over 150 clinical cases, it proved safe and effective. A young worker once suffered a terrible break in his wrist. The traditional treatment would require a large cut to implant a plate and some screws — risky and requiring a second operation for removal. With “Bone 02”, doctors made a 2-3 cm small cut, injected the adhesive, and fixed the bone in just 3 minutes. A three-month follow-up confirmed full healing — no complications and complete wrist function recovery.
From laboratories to operating rooms, scientists continually push the boundaries of life and health. This original Chinese achievement, born from multidisciplinary cooperation, marks a major breakthrough. It applies to most bone breaks and holds broad prospects, contributing Chinese insights to global health.
5.What inspired Lin Xianfeng to develop the new adhesive?
A.The natural ability of the shellfish. B.The durable quality of granite.
C.The clever design of Luoyang Bridge. D.The previous findings in medicine.
6.Which of the following is a feature of “Bone 02”?
A.Gentle muscle healing. B.Natural absorption.
C.Increasing blood flow. D.Wound-free treatment.
7.Which can best replace the underlined word “complications” in paragraph 4?
A.Positive changes. B.Severe breaks.
C.Complex techniques. D.Secondary problems.
8.What’s the best title for the text?
A.From Challenges to Achievements B.From Ancient Bridges to Modern Medicine
C.A Creative Approach to Treating Bone Repair D.A Bionic Medical Breakthrough Inspired by Nature
Passage 3
(25-26高一下·河南驻马店·期末)John, a farmer in Kansas, USA, oversees his large family farm, having his father’s dark skin but none of the rough hands like a traditional farmer. He walks to the edge of the 300-hectare field and flies a silver drone (无人机) to map the field and examine from above to check whether the wheat lacks water.
What makes all this possible is Edge AI — a new type that combines IoT (a network of sensors) and AI. Sensors (传感器) collect data on weather, soil, crops and pests, then AI analyzes it to help farmers make scientific decisions. In the past few years, many governments and companies worldwide have been pouring large sums of money into AI and smart farming, achieving precise watering and early disease checks.
Traditional cloud-based AI needs constant Internet and power. Take Carlos, a small farmer in New Mexico who grows wheat on just 2 hectares, for example. He knows smart farming could help, but with poor Internet, no training and high costs, he says, “It’s too expensive and too hard.” Another problem is high energy use. Many sensors need constant power, yet in rural areas like Carlos’s village where there is no stable electricity, farmers have to replace batteries often, creating e-waste, and solar devices work poorly on cloudy days.
Compared with that, Edge AI runs models directly on local devices(sensors, cameras, drones), not on distant clouds. This cuts delays and works well even with poor Internet or unstable power supply. Besides, Edge AI is cheaper. With low-power chips (芯片) and on-device intelligence, it reduces waste and makes smart farming affordable for small farms like Carlos’s.
As the global population rises past 8 billion and food demand grows, Edge AI offers real hope. It can help farmers all over the world produce more food with fewer resources, reduce hunger and finally overcome the world’s food crisis. The future of farming is smart, fair, green and within everyone’s reach.
9.What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Flying drones on his family farm. B.Managing his farm with drones.
C.Checking crop water conditions. D.Engaging in traditional agriculture.
10.Why does Carlos refuse smart farming?
A.It is risky and impractical. B.It is costly and demanding.
C.He doesn’t believe in it. D.He has no access to it.
11.Which is one advantage of Edge AI?
A.Stability of water supply. B.Owning powerful sensors.
C.Localization of model operation. D.Requiring no Internet or power.
12.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The issues facing the world. B.The features of smart farming.
C.The promising future of Edge AI. D.The crisis of the population growth.
Passage 4
(25-26高一下·河北保定·期末)Technology is here to stay. 13 . However, they are often unsure how to help children use technology responsibly and keep a balance between online and offline time. Here are some tips.
Have a device agreement
Having a device usage agreement allows parents and children to work through what responsible technology usage looks like in your family and ensures that everyone knows. 14 . Kids are more likely to make sense of the reasons you have for limitations.
15
Although this tip seems like common sense, it is often hard to follow. This is because work keeps us busy, and people expect us to stay online all the time. If you make some offline time part of your day and tell your children about it, they will learn how good it is. Whether you read a book or just take a walk, letting your children know what you do offline will encourage them to do the same!
Encourage non-tech activities
One great way to keep kids off their screens is to ensure that they have other activities to fill their time. 16 . These activities are also great ways to help children to develop their social skills and confidence.
Family time without tech
Once a week, write a “family time without tech” in your schedule. It can be a meal or a trip. To help increase the success of outings, try designing special activities, i. e., going to the beach to build a sand castle that looks the same as a photo you have found online. 17 .
A.Set a good example in technology use
B.Communicate with children
C.A little extra planning goes a long way
D.The agreement is helpful to the settlement of conflict
E.Parents are seeing more technology in their homes and jobs
F.Also, writing an agreement together promotes understanding
G.This can come in a variety of forms: football, cycling and more

After reading a study about the ability of mushroom fiber to 20 foods’ storage life, the two friends were 21 . With an ambitious goal of developing a 22 preservative, they bought mushroom stems (梗) from farmers who would otherwise throw them away.
Seven years later, in 2023, their company 23 mushroom-fiber extract. When added to food products, it helps increase their 24 life without leaving a noticeable taste.
The product is now being 25 by wine factories in New Zealand. “If it works, it can 26 the added sulfites (亚硫酸盐) that wine makers 27 right now for a longer shelf life,” says Brown. Grapes naturally produce sulfite, so the extra can be too much for some people to 28 .
It’s a win-win-win: for the climate by reducing food waste emissions, for our 29 , and for the mushroom farmers who can sell their 30 . For the two friends, their shared 31 has grown into something bigger: a mission to make the food industry more 32 .

Dr. Richard Fairhurst, 33 new book The New Age Of Invention has just been published, has been interviewed. The following is what he tells us.
There have been golden ages of invention throughout history. In Ancient China, there 34 (be) four great inventions: gunpowder, papermaking, printing and the compass. They changed the world forever. And now we are in the great new age of technology, when most of the new great 35 (invention) are tech-based. For example, advances in virtual 36 (real), wearable tech and the flexible battery have been made. 37 addition, important advances 38 (make) in medicine and environmental science so far thanks to increasing computer power. New inventions like 3D printers have been used to make replacement hearts and bone parts. What’s more, it’s possible 39 (create) an intelligent walking house.
Most inventions start with 40 (recognise) a problem that needs 41 solution. But what remains 42 (importance) is that we have an incredible desire to think and create, and that’s the real spirit of invention.

Passage 2
(25-26高二下·河南郑州·期末)Despite medical progress, treating bone breaks with many small pieces remains a big challenge. It is time-consuming and often leads to poor healing, greatly affecting patients’ quality of life. For over 40 years, Professor Fan Shunwu dreamed of a bone-gluing material and passed the task to post-90s doctor Lin Xianfeng. His inspiration came during a visit to his hometown, where the ancient Luoyang Bridge has stood firm for centuries despite the wearing effect of seawater.
The secret lies in oysters (牡蛎) raised under the bridge by ancient craftsmen. These shellfish produce adhesive (粘合的) threads and natural glue to attach tightly to granite piers (花岗岩桥墩). Their calcium-rich shells pile up layer by layer, filling gaps between stones and forming a strong barrier that defends the bridge against seawater. Instead of fighting the ocean, the craftsmen use the power of nature, which reflects the philosophy of learning from nature.
Drawing on this bionic (仿生学的) principle, the team overcame key technical difficulties. After years of testing, they created “Bone 02” with three core breakthroughs: strong, instant adhesion in blood-rich environments, easy application, and gradual biodegradability.
In over 150 clinical cases, it proved safe and effective. A young worker once suffered a terrible break in his wrist. The traditional treatment would require a large cut to implant a plate and some screws — risky and requiring a second operation for removal. With “Bone 02”, doctors made a 2-3 cm small cut, injected the adhesive, and fixed the bone in just 3 minutes. A three-month follow-up confirmed full healing — no complications and complete wrist function recovery.
From laboratories to operating rooms, scientists continually push the boundaries of life and health. This original Chinese achievement, born from multidisciplinary cooperation, marks a major breakthrough. It applies to most bone breaks and holds broad prospects, contributing Chinese insights to global health.
5.What inspired Lin Xianfeng to develop the new adhesive?
A.The natural ability of the shellfish. B.The durable quality of granite.
C.The clever design of Luoyang Bridge. D.The previous findings in medicine.
6.Which of the following is a feature of “Bone 02”?
A.Gentle muscle healing. B.Natural absorption.
C.Increasing blood flow. D.Wound-free treatment.
7.Which can best replace the underlined word “complications” in paragraph 4?
A.Positive changes. B.Severe breaks.
C.Complex techniques. D.Secondary problems.
8.What’s the best title for the text?
A.From Challenges to Achievements B.From Ancient Bridges to Modern Medicine
C.A Creative Approach to Treating Bone Repair D.A Bionic Medical Breakthrough Inspired by Nature
【答案】5.A 6.B 7.D 8.D
【导语】文章主要介绍了中国科学家受洛阳桥牡蛎粘附原理启发,研发出一种名为“Bone 02”的仿生骨粘合剂,用于治疗粉碎性骨折,并取得了显著效果。
【详解】5.细节理解题。根据第二段中“The secret lies in oysters (牡蛎) raised under the bridge by ancient craftsmen. These shellfish produce adhesive (粘合的) threads and natural glue to attach tightly to granite piers (花岗岩桥墩).(秘密在于古代工匠在桥下养殖的牡蛎。这些贝类会产生粘合丝和天然胶水,紧紧地附着在花岗岩桥墩上)”以及第三段“Drawing on this bionic (仿生学的) principle, the team overcame key technical difficulties.(基于这一仿生学原理,团队克服了关键的技术难题)”可知,贝类的天然粘附能力启发林贤丰开发新型骨粘合剂。
6.细节理解题。根据第三段中“After years of testing, they created “Bone 02” with three core breakthroughs: strong, instant adhesion in blood-rich environments, easy application, and gradual biodegradability.(经过多年的测试,他们创造了“Bone 02”,具有三大核心突破:在富含血液的环境中强力快速粘合、易于操作、可逐步生物降解)”可知,“Bone 02”的一个特点是生物降解,即可自然吸收。
7.词句猜测题。根据第四段中“A three-month follow-up confirmed full healing — no complications and complete wrist function recovery.(三个月的随访确认完全愈合——没有complications,手腕功能完全恢复)”以及前文提到传统治疗方法风险高、需要二次手术取出植入物可推知,complications指的是传统治疗方法可能带来的“并发症”或“继发问题”。故划线词意为“继发问题”,与“Secondary problems”同义。
8.主旨大意题。根据第三段“Drawing on this bionic (仿生学的) principle, the team overcame key technical difficulties. After years of testing, they created “Bone 02” with three core breakthroughs: strong, instant adhesion in blood-rich environments, easy application, and gradual biodegradability.(基于这一仿生学原理,团队克服了关键的技术难题。经过多年的测试,他们研发出“Bone 02”,具备三大核心技术突破:在富含血液的环境中具有强效、即时的粘附性,易于涂抹,并且可逐步生物降解)”结合文章主要介绍了中国科学家受洛阳桥牡蛎粘附原理启发,研发出一种名为“Bone 02”的仿生骨粘合剂,用于治疗粉碎性骨折,并取得了显著效果。可知,D选项“受自然启发的仿生医学突破”最符合文章标题。
Passage 3
(25-26高一下·河南驻马店·期末)John, a farmer in Kansas, USA, oversees his large family farm, having his father’s dark skin but none of the rough hands like a traditional farmer. He walks to the edge of the 300-hectare field and flies a silver drone (无人机) to map the field and examine from above to check whether the wheat lacks water.
What makes all this possible is Edge AI — a new type that combines IoT (a network of sensors) and AI. Sensors (传感器) collect data on weather, soil, crops and pests, then AI analyzes it to help farmers make scientific decisions. In the past few years, many governments and companies worldwide have been pouring large sums of money into AI and smart farming, achieving precise watering and early disease checks.
Traditional cloud-based AI needs constant Internet and power. Take Carlos, a small farmer in New Mexico who grows wheat on just 2 hectares, for example. He knows smart farming could help, but with poor Internet, no training and high costs, he says, “It’s too expensive and too hard.” Another problem is high energy use. Many sensors need constant power, yet in rural areas like Carlos’s village where there is no stable electricity, farmers have to replace batteries often, creating e-waste, and solar devices work poorly on cloudy days.
Compared with that, Edge AI runs models directly on local devices(sensors, cameras, drones), not on distant clouds. This cuts delays and works well even with poor Internet or unstable power supply. Besides, Edge AI is cheaper. With low-power chips (芯片) and on-device intelligence, it reduces waste and makes smart farming affordable for small farms like Carlos’s.
As the global population rises past 8 billion and food demand grows, Edge AI offers real hope. It can help farmers all over the world produce more food with fewer resources, reduce hunger and finally overcome the world’s food crisis. The future of farming is smart, fair, green and within everyone’s reach.
9.What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Flying drones on his family farm. B.Managing his farm with drones.
C.Checking crop water conditions. D.Engaging in traditional agriculture.
10.Why does Carlos refuse smart farming?
A.It is risky and impractical. B.It is costly and demanding.
C.He doesn’t believe in it. D.He has no access to it.
11.Which is one advantage of Edge AI?
A.Stability of water supply. B.Owning powerful sensors.
C.Localization of model operation. D.Requiring no Internet or power.
12.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The issues facing the world. B.The features of smart farming.
C.The promising future of Edge AI. D.The crisis of the population growth.
【答案】9.B 10.B 11.C 12.C
【导语】文章主要介绍了Edge AI技术如何克服传统智慧农业弊端,助力全球农业实现高效可持续发展。
【详解】9.词句猜测题。根据第一段中“He walks to the edge of the 300-hectare field and flies a silver drone(无人机)to map the field and examine from above to check whether the wheat lacks water.(他走到300公顷的土地边缘,放飞一架银色无人机绘制农田地图,并从空中检查小麦是否缺水)”及第二段首句“What makes all this possible is Edge AI — a new type that combines IoT and AI.(让这一切成为可能的是Edge AI——一种结合了物联网和人工智能的新型技术)”可知,this指代前文约翰用无人机管理农场的行为。
10.细节理解题。根据第三段中“He knows smart farming could help, but with poor Internet, no training and high costs, he says, “It’s too expensive and too hard.”(他知道智慧农业能帮上忙,但由于网络差、缺乏培训且成本高昂,他说:“这太贵也太难了。”)”可知,卡洛斯拒绝智慧农业是因为其成本高且要求苛刻。
11.细节理解题。根据第四段首句“Compared with that, Edge AI runs models directly on local devices (sensors, cameras, drones), not on distant clouds.(与之相比,边缘Edge AI直接在本地设备(传感器、摄像头、无人机)上运行模型,而非依赖远程云端)”可知,Edge AI的优势之一是模型运行的本地化。
12.主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“As the global population rises past 8 billion and food demand grows, Edge AI offers real hope. It can help farmers all over the world produce more food with fewer resources, reduce hunger and finally overcome the world’s food crisis.(随着全球人口突破80亿且粮食需求增长,Edge AI带来了真正的希望。它能帮助全球农民以更少资源生产更多粮食,减少饥饿并最终克服世界粮食危机)”可知,本段主要阐述了边缘AI的光明前景。
Passage 4
(25-26高一下·河北保定·期末)Technology is here to stay. 13 . However, they are often unsure how to help children use technology responsibly and keep a balance between online and offline time. Here are some tips.
Have a device agreement
Having a device usage agreement allows parents and children to work through what responsible technology usage looks like in your family and ensures that everyone knows. 14 . Kids are more likely to make sense of the reasons you have for limitations.
15
Although this tip seems like common sense, it is often hard to follow. This is because work keeps us busy, and people expect us to stay online all the time. If you make some offline time part of your day and tell your children about it, they will learn how good it is. Whether you read a book or just take a walk, letting your children know what you do offline will encourage them to do the same!
Encourage non-tech activities
One great way to keep kids off their screens is to ensure that they have other activities to fill their time. 16 . These activities are also great ways to help children to develop their social skills and confidence.
Family time without tech
Once a week, write a “family time without tech” in your schedule. It can be a meal or a trip. To help increase the success of outings, try designing special activities, i. e., going to the beach to build a sand castle that looks the same as a photo you have found online. 17 .
A.Set a good example in technology use
B.Communicate with children
C.A little extra planning goes a long way
D.The agreement is helpful to the settlement of conflict
E.Parents are seeing more technology in their homes and jobs
F.Also, writing an agreement together promotes understanding
G.This can come in a variety of forms: football, cycling and more

Parents are seeing more technology in their homes and jobs(父母在家中和工作场所看到更多科技产品的身影)中的Parents与下文中的they相对应,说明了在父母看到了科技存在的现状,承接上文,并引出了下文,表明父母不确定该如何帮助孩子正确地使用科技产品。
14.根据上文“Having a device usage agreement allows parents and children to work through what responsible technology usage looks like in your family and ensures that everyone knows.(制定设备使用协议可以让家长和孩子共同明确家庭中负责任的科技设备使用方式,并确保每个人都了解。)”和下文“Kids are more likely to make sense of the reasons you have for limitations.(孩子更可能理解你设定限制的原因。)”可知,空处应继续说明制定协议的益处,故选项F. Also, writing an agreement together promotes understanding(此外,共同撰写协议有助于增进理解)补充说明了共同撰写协议的好处,下文又进一步地说明了这一好处,衔接合理。
15.空处为段落主题句,应用祈使句;根据下文“If you make some offline time part of your day and tell your children about it, they will learn how good it is. Whether you read a book or just take a walk, letting your children know what you do offline will encourage them to do the same!(如果你每天安排一些离线时间,并告诉孩子你做了什么,他们就会明白这样做的好处。无论是读书还是散步,让你的孩子知道你在离线时的活动,都会鼓励他们也这样做!)”可知,该段主要建议父母要以身作则,故选项A. Set a good example in technology use(在科技设备使用方面树立良好榜样)是对该段的总结,符合段落主题。
16.根据上文“One great way to keep kids off their screens is to ensure that they have other activities to fill their time.(让孩子远离屏幕的一个好方法,就是确保他们有其他活动来充实自己的时间。)”和下文“These activities are also great ways to help children to develop their social skills and confidence.(这些活动也是帮助孩子发展社交技能和自信心的绝佳方式。)”可知,空处应该具体列举了能够让孩子远离屏幕的其他活动,故选项G. This can come in a variety of forms: football, cycling and more(这可以有多种形式:足球、自行车运动等等。)承上启下,衔接合理。
17.根据上文“To help increase the success of outings, try designing special activities, i. e., going to the beach to build a sand castle that looks the same as a photo you have found online.(为了提高外出活动的成功率,可以尝试设计一些特别的活动,例如去海滩搭建一座与网上找到的照片一模一样的沙堡。)”可知,选项C. A little extra planning goes a long way(一点点额外的计划会有很大的帮助)总结了上文提到的计划会带来的效果,符合语境。
