Scientists from China have created a truly re-
markable robot hand!Named the "F-TAC
Hand",it was developed by researchers from Pe-
king University and the Beijing Institute for Gen-
eral Artificial Intelligence,and their exciting
work was just published in the famous science
journal Nature Machine Intelligence on June
9th,2025.
What makes this robotic hand so special?It
can feel and adjust its grip just like a human hand
can.Imagine trying to pick up a ping-pong ball
with just your little finger,or holding both a
baseball and a golf ball in one hand without drop-
ping them.The F-TAC Hand can do these
things!If it picks up a cup full of water,it auto-
matically adjusts its hold to keep the cup steady
and prevent spills-reacting faster than you can
blink.
The secret lies in its amazing touch sensors.
Covering 70%of the hand's surface,these tiny
sensors一packed as densely(密集地)asl0,000
per square centimeter-let the hand feel tex-
tures,pressure,and any tiny movement of the
object it's holding.Crucially,these sensors are
built right into the hand's structure,so they
don't make the hand stiff or clumsy.A smart
computer program uses this constant touch feed-
back to instantly decide the best way to grip dif-
ferent objects,just like our brains tell our hands
what to do.
Beyond its amazing ability to mimic human
touch,the F-TAC Hand also brings practical so-
lutions to real-world problems in robotics.It's
inspired by how our own hands and nerves work.
The F-TAC Hand isn't just cool science;it has
real uses.It could lead to much better prosthetic
limbs,help robots perform delicate surgery,
work safely in dangerous places like nuclear
plants,or handle complex jobs in factories.
Made possible partly by China's powerful
“Peng Cheng Cloud BrainⅡ”,this“hand of tou-
ch intelligence"is a big step forward for China in
robotics and AI.Experts believe it brings us
closer to robots that can truly understand and in-
teract with the physical world around them.The
future of robots just got a lot more skillful!

话题:F-TAC Hand机器人手
[语篇解读]这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了
中国研发F-TAC Hand机器人手,仿人触觉强且
应用前景广。
1.What is TRUE about the F-TAC Hand when
grasping objects?
A.It can adjust its grip to prevent spills from a
full cup of water.
B.It must use the entire hand to pick up a
ping-pong ball.
C.It reacts more slowly than a human blink
when picking up items.
D.It cannot grasp objects of different sizes at
the same time.
解析:A[细节理解题。根据第二段“Ifit
picks up a cup full of water,it automatically
adjusts its hold to keep the cup steady and pre-
vent spills-reacting faster than you can blink.
(如果它拿起一杯水,它会自动调整手部的力
度,以保持杯子稳定并防止水洒出一其反应
速度甚至快于你眨眼的频率。)”可知,“F-TAC
Hand在抓取物时能够调整其握持力度,以防止
装满水的杯子出现溢出的情况”正确。]
2.What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A.Each sensor covers an area of 10,000 square
centimeters.
B.The sensors are integrated into the hand's
structure to keep it stiff.
C.The AI program makes decisions delayed
based on touch feedback.
D.The AI program uses real-time touch feed-
back to control the grip.
解析:D[细节理解题。根据第三段“A smart
computer program uses this constant touch
feedback to instantly decide the best way to
grip different objects,just like our brains tell
our hands what to do.(一个智能的计算机程序
会利用这种持续的触觉反馈信息,迅速确定握
住不同物体的最佳方式,就像我们的大脑会指
挥我们的手去做相应动作一样。)”可知,该人工
智能程序利用实时触觉反馈来控制抓握力度。]
3.What does the underlined phrase“mimic”in
Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Imitate.
B.Replace.
C.Simplify.
D.Enhance.
解析:A[词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“It's
inspired by how our own hands and nerves
work.(它的设计灵感来源于我们自身的手和神
经的工作方式。)”以及“human touch(人类触
高考总复习英语(外研版)
感)”可知,机器人的设计灵感来源于我们自身
的手和神经的工作方式,即模仿了人类触感的
能力。故划线词意思是“模仿”。]
4.What is the main purpose of the author in writ-
ing this passage?
A.To introduce the development history of ro-
botic hands.
B.To compare the F-TAC Hand with other ro-
botic hands.

体裁:议论文
At a conference last week,I received an interest-
ing piece of advice:"Assume you are wrong.The ad-
vice came from Brian Nosek,a fellow psychology
professor.He wasn't objecting to any particular
claim I'd made-he was offering a strategy for
pursuing better science,and for encouraging oth-
ers to do the same.
To understand the context for Nosek's ad-
vice,we need to take a step back-to the nature
of science itself.Despite what many of us learned
in elementary school,there is no single scientific
method.Just as scientific theories change,so do
scientific methods.
Assuming you are right might be a motiva-
ting force,sustaining the enormous effort that
conducting scientific work requires.But it also
makes it easy to interpret criticisms as personal
attacks,and for scientific arguments to develop
into personal battles.Beginning,instead,from
the assumption you are wrong,a criticism is easi-
er to be viewed as a helpful pointer,a construc-
tive suggestion for how to be less wrong-a goal
that your critic probably shares.
Nosek's advice may sound pessimistic,but
it's not so foreign to science.Philosophers of sci-
ence sometimes refer to the "pessimistic meta-in-
duction(元归纳)”on the history of science:All
of our past scientific theories have been wrong,
so surely our current theories will turn out to be
wrong,too.That doesn't mean we haven't made
progress,but it does indicate that there is always
room for improvement-ways to be less wrong.
I like the advice because it builds in an
awareness of our limitations and a readiness to
accept the unknown ("there are things I do not
know!")along with a sense that we can do better
(“there are things I do not know yet!”).It also
builds in a sense of community-we're all in the
·4g
C.To criticize the limitations of previous ro-
botic hands.
D.To highlight the features and applications of
the F-TAC Hand.
解析:D[推理判断题。通读全文可知,二至三
段围绕F-TAC Hand机器人手的“特性”(如传
感器、抓握能力),第四段围绕它的“应用”(假
肢、手术等)展开。由此推知,作者写作本文的
目的是突出F-TAC Hand的特性与应用。]
话题:科学研究中“假设你是错的”
same boat when it comes to falling short of get-
ting things right.Perhaps the focus on a shared
goal-our goal as scientists and humans of being
less wrong-can help make up for any harm in
scientific motivation or communication.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述了作
者对在科学研究中“假设你是错的”这条建议的看
法,并肯定了它所带来的好处。
5.Why did Nosek send the advice?
A.To express opinions about my claims.
B.To remind me to be open to criticism.
C.To encourage me to take up science.
D.To better my understanding of psychology.
解析:B[推理判断题。根据第一段中的“He
wasn't objecting to any particular claim I'd
made-he was offering a strategy for pursuing
better science,and for encouraging others to
do the same..(他并没有反对我的任何特定主
张—他提出了一个追求更好科学的策略,并
鼓励其他人也这样做。)”和第三段中的“Begin
ning,instead,from the assumption you are
wrong,a criticism is easier to be viewed as a
helpful pointer,a constructive suggestion for
how to be less wrong-a goal that your critic
probably shares.(相反,从你错了的假设开始,
批评更容易被视为一个有用的提示,一个如何
减少错误的建设性建议一这是你的批评者可
能也有的同样目标。)”可知,Nosk提出的这条
建议是一个追求更好科学的策略,从假设自己
错了开始,就会更容易接受批评,让自己减少错
误,由此可推测出,Nosek提出这条建议是为了
提醒作者对批评持开放态度。]
6.How does assuming you are wrong help?
A.It motivates scientists to make efforts.
B.It addresses personal attacks and conflicts.
C.It sets a constructive improvement goal.
D.It contributes to a deeper insight into your-
self.

解析:C[推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Be
ginning,instead,from the assumption you are
wrong,a criticism is easier to be viewed as a
helpful pointer,a constructive suggestion for
how to be less wrong-a goal that your critic
probably shares.(相反,从你错了的假设开始,
批评更容易被视为一个有用的提示,一个如何
减少错误的建设性建议一这是你的批评者可
能也有的同样目标。)”可知,假设你错了可以帮
助你获得如何减少错误的建设性建议,而减少
错误或许是你和你的批评者的共同目标,由此
可推测出,假设你错了可以帮助设立一个建设
性的改进目标。]
7.What does the author think of science theories?
A.Dynamic.
B.Testable.
C.Pioneering.
D.Well-established.
解析:A[细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Just
as scientific theories change,so do scientific
methods.(正如科学理论在变化,科学方法也在
变化。)”可知,作者认为科学理论是变化的、动
态的。]

8.Which of the following is the best title for the
text?
A.Accept the Unknown
B.Aim to Be Less Wrong
C.Get Engaged in Psychology
D.Dig into the Nature of Science
解析:B[标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其是第一

an interesting piece of advice:'Assume you are
wrong.’(在上周的一次会议上,我收到了一条
有趣的建议:‘假设你错了。’)”和最后一段最后

科学研究中“假设你是错的”这个方法,它有助
于让所有人关注减少错误这一共同目标,从而
让科学取得进步,由此可推测出,B项“力求减
少错误”最适合作本文标题。]

[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中
国在防治荒漠化方面所采取的一系列措施、取得
的成果以及在全球生态治理中的贡献。
1.has made[考查时态。句意:在过去40年里,
中国在防治荒漠化方面做出了持续努力。in
the past40 years是现在完成时的标志性时间
状语,强调从过去持续到现在的动作,且主语
China为单数,完成时应用has。故填has
made。
2.transforming[考查非谓语动词。句意:从鼓
励公众参与到采取政策措施,这个国家已采取
有效且切实的措施来控制荒漠化,将贫瘠的土
壤变为森林和草原
一这一做法如今被视为
全球生态保护的关键。句中已有谓语动词has
taken,transform和主语the country是主动关
系,所以用现在分词作结果状语。故填trans-
forming。]
3.preservation[考查名词。句意同上。根据
global ecological可知,此处需要名词形式,eco
logical preservation表示“生态保护”,符合语
境。故填preservation。.]

将3月12日定为植树节,1982年至2021年间,
中国公民在这片广袤的土地上自愿种植了约
781亿棵树。此处修饰动词planted,要用副词
形式。故填voluntarily。.]
5,where[考查定语从句。句意:政府还启动了
各种绿化项目,目标是那些沙漠威胁当地生态
环境并压缩人们生存空间的地区。此处为定语
从句,先行词是areas,在从句中作地点状语,所
以用关系副词where引导定语从句。故填
where。]
6.a[考查冠词。句意:三北防护林工程,一个大
规模的植树造林项目,是一种受到全世界科学
家赞扬的系统性方法。此处表示泛指“一个大
规模的植树造林项目”,所以用不定冠词,且
large-scale以辅音音素开头。故填a。]
7.to be completed[考查非谓语动词。句意:该
工程于1978年启动,计划于2050年完成,它有
效地遏制了荒漠化的扩张,成为了一道抵御沙
