W: For real? How do they keep balance?
M: Cameras and sensors in their heads help them map out a 360-degree view of their surroundings.
W: Incredible! But technology is sometimes a double-edged sword. For example, safety could be a problem. When a heavy robot breaks down and falls, or fails to follow orders, humans may get hurt.
M: That’s true. But with more and more humanoid robots working alongside humans, I do believe they will bring us greater convenience.

【答案】14.C 15.B 16.A
【原文】M: Susan, I saw your post on LinkedIn. Are you really moving away from web development to mobile apps?
W: Yes, Mark. I’ve spent the last six months designing a health-tracking app called “RestWell”. As a developer, I realized most products on the market focus purely on burning calories or counting steps, but they ignore the foundation of health: recovery.
M: So, how does it work? Does it just track how many hours I sleep?
W: It’s much better than that. It uses the phone’s sensors to record your sleep cycles and even monitors the noise level in your room to see if environmental factors are waking you up. Plus, it has a feature to track your water intake, which is also linked to sleep quality.
M: That sounds great. Is it going to be a paid app?
W: We have a “Freemium” model. The basic tracking is free, but the advanced version is $10 a month. However, we’re offering a 50% discount now.

Heavy traffic is a widespread problem across the United States, wasting both drivers’ time and money. A 2022 study showed that city drivers spent a surprising 51 hours a year waiting in traffic. This has a national cost of about $81 billion. Many people now use navigation (导航) apps on their phones to find the quickest route, but this can create a new problem. If thousands of users follow the same “clear” route suggested by the same navigation, that route will certainly become busy. It’s like everyone trying to rush through one subway car door at the same time.
Fortunately, an innovative solution has emerged. A professor and her team have developed a new and special technology for finding routes, inspired by insights from the study of how people make choices in games. Rather than making route recommendations uniform by assigning the same “best” route to every driver, this cutting-edge technology delivers bespoke route suggestions. The goal is not to help one driver win, but to reduce travel time and costs for all drivers, creating a better traffic flow for the entire system.
To make this technology effective in the real world, the researchers created a special method to manage massive online requests for routes at once. They also designed a system to make it work faster and enhance the technology’s performance even when phone or Internet service fails. Thanks to these new ideas, tests have demonstrated remarkable success. The research showed that the technology can reduce heavy traffic by an amazing 55%.
This new technology is a potential big change for drivers. Its use in traffic programs could lead to less time wasted in traffic, a reduction in harmful gas from vehicles for better air quality, and great savings on fuel. This would improve our ways of travel for everyone. And the best part? The technology is designed to benefit all people in society, not just individual drivers looking for the fastest way to the place they want to go.
24.What trouble do smart navigation systems bring about?
A.Users’ annoyance. B.Long waits on roads.
C.Higher fuel prices. D.More traffic crashes.
25.What does the underlined word “bespoke” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Standardized. B.Modernized. C.Personalized. D.Commercialized.
26.What is the characteristic of the new technology?
A.Fast response to roadblocks. B.Stable performance in trials.
C.Adaptability to temperatures. D.Efficiency in terrible signals.
27.What is the final purpose of the new technology?
A.To make cities liveable. B.To enhance road safety.
C.To reduce travel expense. D.To decrease air pollution.
【答案】24.B 25.C 26.D 27.A
【导语】本文介绍传统导航会造成新拥堵,一款新型路线规划技术可分流车辆、缓解拥堵,同时节约成本、改善空气质量。
【详解】24.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A 2022 study showed that city drivers spent a surprising 51 hours a year waiting in traffic.(一项 2022 年的研究显示,城市驾驶员每年要花费惊人的51小时堵在路上)”以及“If thousands of users follow the same “clear” route suggested by the same navigation, that route will certainly become busy.(如果成千上万名用户都走同一个导航推荐的同一条“畅通”路线,那条路线一定会变得拥堵)”可知,智能导航带来的问题是道路长时间等候拥堵。
25.词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Rather than making route recommendations uniform by assigning the same “best” route to every driver, this cutting-edge technology delivers bespoke route suggestions.(它不会统一路线推荐,不会给每位驾驶员分配同一条“最优”路线,这项前沿技术提供bespoke路线建议)”可知,新的技术不会统一推线路推荐,且并非所有驾驶员的“最优”线路都一样,由此可知,它提供的是个性化服务。故猜测bespoke意为“个性化的”,与Personalized同义。
26.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They also designed a system to make it work faster and enhance the technology’s performance even when phone or Internet service fails.(他们还设计一套系统让它运行更快,即便手机或网络服务中断,也能提升这项技术的运行表现)”可知,新技术在信号差的环境中仍能稳定高效运行。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段“And the best part? The technology is designed to benefit all people in society, not just individual drivers looking for the fastest way to the place they want to go.(最棒的一点是:该技术的设计初衷是惠及社会全体民众,而非只为一心寻找最快出行路线的驾驶员服务)”并结合上文提到的分流车辆、缓解拥堵和改善空气质量推知,该技术的目的是让城市宜居。

SHANGHAI, Jan. 9 (Xinhua) — A team of Chinese and international scientists has uncovered the precise mechanism behind one of nature’s most vital alliances: the partnership between legume plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. This finding has the potential to transform future agricultural practices.
The discovery, published in the latest issue of Science, explains how plants and bacteria identify the perfect partner, paving the way for engineered crops that may one day need far less chemical fertilizer. The study explains how legumes such as soybeans and peas identify and form partnerships with specific nitrogen-fixing bacteria — bacteria that help convert atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for the plant. These interactions result in the formation of root nodules (根瘤), which act as natural fertilizer factories. Within these nodules, the plants provide sugars to the bacteria, while the bacteria, in turn, supply the plants with fixed nitrogen.
A long-standing mystery has been how plant roots, surrounded by countless microorganisms, selectively allow only compatible nitrogen-fixing bacteria to enter. This process begins with plant-secreted chemicals called flavonoids, but the exact mechanism of recognition has remained unclear. However, a collaborative team led by researchers from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences (CEMPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has solved this puzzle. By determining the detailed 3D structure of a key bacterial protein called NodD bound to a flavonoid signal, they unveiled the exact “lock-and-key” fit that enables specific partner selection. The team identified unique regions in NodD that act as a selective filter, ensuring each bacterial strain responds only to the flavonoid signal produced by its specific host plant.
According to the study, the findings open new pathways for designing more efficient symbiotic systems. In the future, scientists may engineer nitrogen-fixing bacteria to partner with a broader range of crops — including cereals like rice and wheat, which do not naturally form such relationships.
“This brings us closer to reducing agriculture’s reliance on man-made nitrogen fertilizers,” said Zhang Yu, a researcher at CEMPS. “By understanding this recognition process, we can explore creating new beneficial partnerships between plants and microorganisms.” The research not only decodes a fundamental dialogue in nature but also lays a scientific foundation for designing greener, more sustainable farming systems worldwide, Zhang added.
28.What is the main potential impact of the new discovery on agriculture?
A.It will completely replace chemical fertilizers in farming.
B.It may lead to crops needing much less chemical fertilizer.
C.It allows all plants to form partnerships with bacteria naturally.
D.It explains why only legumes can use atmospheric nitrogen.
29.What is the function of root nodules in legumes?
A.They act as natural fertilizer factories. B.They produce sugars for the plant.
C.They protect plants from harmful bacteria. D.They help plants absorb water from the soil.
30.What can be inferred about the “lock-and-key” fit mentioned in the study?
A.It allows any bacteria to enter plant roots.
B.It prevents all microorganisms from interacting with plants.
C.It is a physical structure found on the surface of roots.
D.It ensures only specific bacteria respond to their host plant’s signal.
31.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce a new type of chemical fertilizer.
B.To explain how plants produce flavonoids.
C.To report a scientific breakthrough in plant-bacteria partnership.
D.To compare different types of nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
【答案】28.B 29.A 30.D 31.C
【导语】本文报道中外科学家的科研突破,揭开豆科植物与固氮细菌精准识别的锁钥机制,该成果可培育少施化肥的作物,为绿色可持续农业奠定科学基础。
【详解】28.细节理解题。根据第二段“The discovery, published in the latest issue of Science, explains how plants and bacteria identify the perfect partner, paving the way for engineered crops that may one day need far less chemical fertilizer.(这项发表在最新一期《科学》杂志上的发现阐明了植物与细菌如何识别最佳共生伙伴,为培育日后大幅减少化肥使用的改良作物铺平了道路。)”可知,该新发现对农业的潜在重大影响是培育出只需少量化肥的作物。
29.细节理解题。根据第二段“These interactions result in the formation of root nodules (根瘤), which act as natural fertilizer factories.(二者的相互作用催生根瘤,根瘤充当天然化肥工厂。)”可知,豆科植物根瘤的作用是充当天然肥料工厂。
30.推理判断题。根据第三段“By determining the detailed 3D structure of a key bacterial protein called NodD bound to a flavonoid signal, they unveiled the exact “lock-and-key” fit that enables specific partner selection. The team identified unique regions in NodD that act as a selective filter, ensuring each bacterial strain responds only to the flavonoid signal produced by its specific host plant.(研究团队解析了细菌关键蛋白NodD与类黄酮信号结合的完整三维结构,揭示了实现特异性配对的精准“锁钥匹配”机制。团队发现NodD上的特殊区域起到筛选作用,保证每种菌株只对专属宿主植物释放的类黄酮信号产生反应。)”可推断,“锁钥匹配”机制确保只有特定细菌能对应宿主植物的信号。
31.推理判断题。根据第一段“A team of Chinese and international scientists has uncovered the precise mechanism behind one of nature’s most vital alliances: the partnership between legume plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. This finding has the potential to transform future agricultural practices.(一支中外科学家团队揭开了自然界最重要共生关系之一 —— 豆科植物与固氮细菌配对的精确作用机制,该发现有望变革未来农业生产方式。)”以及下文内容可知,全文围绕这项科研突破展开,介绍研究内容、原理与农业应用前景,由此可判断文章旨在报道一项关于植物与细菌共生关系的科学突破。

Today, AI models can do an astonishing variety of tasks from writing detailed reports to creating video on demand. Some people worry they will soon be surplus (过剩的) to requirements. But is AI actually putting anyone out of work?
Lots of experts claim that it is. They point to a recent paper by Carl Benedikt Frey and Pedro Llanos-Paredes, from the University of Oxford, which suggests a link between automation and declining demand for translators. At the same time, however, official American data suggest that the number of people employed in translation and the like is 7% higher than a year ago.
Others search the economic data for signs of the forthcoming AI job-loss, saying young graduates are now more likely than the average worker to be jobless. Well, no. American young graduates’ relative unemployment rate, which is actual unemployment rate minus (减) national average unemployment rate, started to rise in 2009, long before generative AI came along. And their actual unemployment rate (2025), at around 6%, remains low.
As we examine American data on employment by occupation, we pick out workers believed to be vulnerable (易受影响的) to AI. These are white-collar employees, including people in back-office support, financial operations, sales and much more besides. We find that over the past year the employment in white-collar work has risen slightly.
Across the board, America’s national average unemployment rate (2025) remains low, at 4.2%. Wage growth is still reasonably strong, which goes against the concern that AI is causing demand for labor to fall. And, outside America, earnings growth in many countries also remains strong.
There are two competing causes of these trends. First, despite the endless announcements about integrating AI into operations, few companies make much use of the technology for serious work. The second is that even when companies do adopt the tech, they do not let people go.
That said, whatever the cause, for now there is no need to panic.
32.What fuels people’s fear of being unemployed?
A.Limitations of human labor.
B.Modern technological advances.
C.Complexity of tasks in the AI era.
D.Heavy workload in various fields.
33.Which chart best shows American young graduates’ relative unemployment rate?
A. B.
C. D.
34.Why does the author mention two reasons in paragraph 6?
A.To cite the data sources.
B.To identify the likelier reason.
C.To further justify his prediction.
D.To model valid research methods.
35.What’s probably the author’s attitude towards human employment?
A.Puzzled. B.Alarmed. C.Indifferent. D.Optimistic.
【答案】32.B 33.A 34.C 35.D
【导语】文章主要讨论了人工智能是否会导致人们失业,并通过数据和事实表明目前无需恐慌。
【详解】32.细节理解题。根据第一段“Today, AI models can do an astonishing variety of tasks from writing detailed reports to creating video on demand. Some people worry they will soon be surplus (过剩的) to requirements. But is AI actually putting anyone out of work?(如今,人工智能模型可以完成从撰写详细报告到按需创建视频等各种令人惊叹的任务。一些人担心他们很快就会过剩。但人工智能真的会让人们失业吗?)”可知,现代技术进步引发了人们对失业的恐惧。
33.推理判断题。根据第三段中“American young graduates’ relative unemployment rate, which is actual unemployment rate minus (减) national average unemployment rate, started to rise in 2009, long before generative AI came along. And their actual unemployment rate (2025), at around 6%, remains low.(美国年轻毕业生的相对失业率(即实际失业率减去全国平均失业率)早在2009年就开始上升了,这远早于生成式人工智能出现的时间。而他们2025年的实际失业率约为6%,仍处于较低水平。)”和第五段中“Across the board, America’s national average unemployment rate (2025) remains low, at 4.2%.(整体来看,2025年美国全国平均失业率仍处于低位,仅为4.2%。)”可知:A 选项图表曲线在 2009 年前后开始明显上升,与“started to rise in 2009” 的时间拐点完全吻合;其纵轴刻度最高为 6%,2025 年曲线末端稳定在 5%–6% 区间,与“their actual unemployment rate (2025), at around 6%” 高度一致;且曲线全程位于 0 刻度以上,无负值,符合 “青年毕业生失业率长期高于全国平均水平” 的文意逻辑。
34.推理判断题。根据第六段“There are two competing causes of these trends. First, despite the endless announcements about integrating AI into operations, few companies make much use of the technology for serious work. The second is that even when companies do adopt the tech, they do not let people go.(造成这些趋势有两个相互竞争的原因。首先,尽管不断有关于将人工智能融入运营的公告,但很少有公司将这项技术用于严肃的工作。其次,即使公司采用了这项技术,他们也不会解雇员工。)”以及最后一段“That said, whatever the cause, for now there is no need to panic.(也就是说,不管是什么原因,目前都没有必要恐慌。)”可知,作者提到两个原因是为了进一步证明他的预测,即目前人工智能并未导致大量失业,无需恐慌。
35.推理判断题。根据最后一段“That said, whatever the cause, for now there is no need to panic.(也就是说,不管是什么原因,目前都没有必要恐慌。)”可知,作者认为目前没有必要对人工智能导致失业的问题感到恐慌,可推测出作者对人类就业持乐观态度。

Reading on Screens: A Cognitive Shift
Digital reading has become ubiquitous, yet its impact on comprehension remains controversial. A 2024 meta-analysis reveals that readers absorb 20-30% less complex information from screens than print. 36 The phenomenon, termed “digital distraction syndrome (综合征)”, suggests our brains subconsciously (下意识地) associate devices with fragmented consumption.
Neuroscientists attribute this to reduced “cognitive mapping.” Physical books provide tactile (触觉上的) cues-page thickness, spatial (空间的) memory of text locations-that enhance recall.

38 In a Cambridge University experiment, students reading philosophical texts on tablets scored lower on inference questions than print readers, despite identical reading times.

【答案】36.C 37.F 38.A 39.G 40.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了数字阅读对信息吸收和认知能力的负面影响,分析了其原因,并提出了通过技术改进弥补数字阅读缺陷的建议。
【详解】36.由上文“A 2024 meta-analysis reveals that readers absorb 20-30% less complex information from screens than print.(2024年的一项元分析显示,与印刷品相比,读者从屏幕上吸收的复杂信息要少20-30%。)”及下文“The phenomenon, termed ‘digital distraction syndrome (综合征)’, suggests our brains subconsciously (下意识的) associate devices with fragmented consumption.(这种现象被称为“数字分心综合征”,表明我们的大脑下意识地将设备与碎片化消费联系在一起。)”可知,上文指出读者从屏幕上吸收复杂信息较少,下文解释了这种现象的原因,空格处承接屏幕阅读理解能力变差这一结论,说明该缺陷覆盖各年龄段这一现象,C选项“This deficit (不足) persists across age groups, from digital natives to older adults.(从数字原生代到老年人,这种不足在各个年龄段都存在。)”能承上启下,符合语境。故选C。
37.由上文“Physical books provide tactile (触觉上的) cues-page thickness, spatial (空间的) memory of text locations-that enhance recall. Screens offer uniform scrolling, flattening mental architecture.(实体书提供触觉线索——页面的厚度、文本位置的空间记忆——这些都能增强记忆。屏幕提供统一的滚动,使心理结构扁平化。)”及下文“This spatial disorientation (迷路) impairs the brain’s ability to organize information hierarchy (分等级的).(这种空间定向障碍会损害大脑组织信息层次的能力。)”可知,上文对比了实体书和屏幕在阅读时对大脑的不同影响,下文指出空间定向障碍对大脑组织信息能力的损害,空格处说明弱化思维架构带来的不良后果。F选项“Consequently, readers struggle to construct mental frameworks for long-term knowledge integration.(因此,读者难以构建用于长期知识整合的心理框架。)”能承上启下,符合语境。故选F。
38.由下文“In a Cambridge University experiment, students reading philosophical texts on tablets scored lower on inference questions than print readers, despite identical reading times. Eye-tracking data showed screen readers exhibited “shallow scanning”: pay attention to the keywords but skipping connective phrases essential for contextual understanding.(在剑桥大学的一项实验中,阅读平板电脑上的哲学文本的学生在推理题上的得分低于阅读印刷品的学生,尽管阅读时间相同。眼动追踪数据显示,屏幕阅读者表现出“浅层扫描”:关注关键词,但跳过对上下文理解至关重要的连接短语。)”可知,下文通过实验说明了屏幕阅读对理解能力的负面影响,空格处引出实验证据,说明相关结论延伸到学业表现中。A选项“Evidence extends beyond laboratory settings into real-world academic performance.(证据不仅限于实验室环境,还延伸到现实世界的学术表现。)”能承上启下,符合语境。故选A。
39.由上文“The solution isn’t abandoning technology, but redesigning digital interfaces (接口).(解决方案不是放弃技术,而是重新设计数字界面。)”及下文“Researchers propose “cognitive scaffolding (支架)” tools: interactive outlines that visually mirror text structure, or AI-generated summaries reinforcing (加强) key arguments between paragraphs. Such interventions could bridge the comprehension gap.(研究人员提出了“认知支架”工具:视觉上反映文本结构的交互式大纲,或在段落之间加强关键论点的AI生成摘要。这种干预措施可以弥补理解差距。)”可知,上文提出了重新设计数字界面的解决方案,下文具体介绍了研究人员提出的工具,本空应说明新兴技术如何帮助改善屏幕阅读体验。G选项“Emerging technologies like VR may simulate physical page-turning to restore spatial memory.(虚拟现实等新兴技术可能模拟实体翻页以恢复空间记忆。)”能承上启下,符合语境。故选G。
40.由上文整体讨论的核心是“数字阅读对认知能力的负面影响”(如信息吸收减少、空间定向障碍、浅层扫描等),前文提到的“数字分心综合征”和大脑处理信息的机制问题,以及下文“As one cognitive psychologist notes: “We must engineer digital environments that respect how the human brain evolved to process information — not force our brains to conform to digital limitations.”(一位认知心理学家指出:“我们必须设计尊重人类大脑进化处理信息方式的数字环境,而不是强迫大脑适应数字限制。”)”强调需通过技术改进弥补数字阅读的缺陷,暗示当前数字环境存在违背大脑认知规律的问题可知,最后一段开头需要进一步强化屏幕阅读对认知的干扰因素。D选项“Multitasking during screen reading further diminishes retention capacity.(屏幕阅读时的多任务行为会进一步降低记忆能力。)”直接点明“多任务处理”这一普遍存在的屏幕使用习惯,是加剧认知损伤的关键因素,既承接前文关于数字阅读缺陷的讨论,又为下文提出“重新设计数字环境”的解决方案提供逻辑依据(即需消除多任务干扰)。故选D。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(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。
I recently visited the Boston Museum of Fine Arts — my first visit to an art museum in several years. When I left the museum, I felt my 41 for fine art — from painting to sculpting to sketching — grow ten times.
42 , with the increasing use of AI, the field of art has lost some of its authenticity. I find artists on the Internet who use generative AI to create drawings but 43 the art as their own.
While AI art can sometimes look 44 and can occasionally even trick skilled artists, it’s all a hollow 45 of human creativity. The fact is that feeding instructions into a computer and watching a robot spit out images isn’t the same as being an 46 .
Knowing that a real human placed every 47 with a specific story in mind is what makes works like Leonardo DaVinci’s 48 “Mona Lisa” so memorable. Mona Lisa was a real woman with a real story. And AI can never 49 art that tells a story. Art should be a labor of love. Its story and 50 are as much a part of the artwork as the art piece itself.
My visit to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts helped me 51 that art museums are now more important than ever. 52 the rich history of human-created artwork is essential in a world where it is becoming increasingly filled with 53 , machine-created works. So whenever you have the 54 , go visit your local art museum. You’ll appreciate the 55 that human creativity can reach.

48.考查形容词。句意:同上。A. common普通的;B. lonely孤独的;C. logical符合逻辑的;D. iconic标志性的。根据下文“so memorable”可知,《蒙娜丽莎》是极具代表性、令人难忘的经典画作。
49.考查动词。句意:AI永远无法替代承载着故事的艺术。A. discover发现;B. draw绘制;C. replace替代;D. write书写。根据上文“Knowing that a real human placed every ____ with a specific story in mind ”、“feeding instructions into a computer and watching a robot spit out images isn’t the same as being an ____”以及下文“art that tells a story”可知,AI可以生成图像,但无法真正替代蕴含人类叙事和情感的艺术创作。
50.考查名词。句意:艺术应该是饱含热爱的心血之作,它背后的故事与创作过程,和作品本身同等重要。A. process过程;B. meaning意义;C. picture图画;D. setting背景。根据上文“Art should be a labor of love.”以及“Mona Lisa was a real woman with a real story.”可知,上文强调真人创作承载故事与付出心血的过程。
51.考查动词。句意:这次波士顿美术博物馆之行让我意识到,美术馆如今比以往任何时候都重要。A. watch观看;B. realize意识到;C. remind提醒;D. decide决定。根据下文“that art museums are now more important than ever.”可知,这是作者参观完美术馆产生的感悟。
52.考查动名词。句意:当今世界充斥着无灵魂的机器创作作品,珍视人类艺术丰厚的历史至关重要。A. Changing改变;B. Witnessing见证;C. Creating创造;D. Valuing珍视。根据下文“a world where it is becoming increasingly filled with ____ machine-created works”可知,机器艺术泛滥,我们应当重视、珍惜人类手工创作的艺术历史。
53.考查形容词。句意:同上。A. soulless无灵魂的;B. careless粗心的;C. colorless无色的;D. useless无用的。根据上文“it’s all a hollow ____ of human creativity”可知,AI机器作品空洞,没有人类赋予的灵魂与故事。
54.考查名词。句意:所以只要有机会,就去当地美术馆看一看。A. right权利;B. chance机会;C. choice选择;D. dream梦想。根据下文 “go visit your local art museum”可知作者建议大家一有机会就走进美术馆。
55.考查名词。句意:你会领略到人类创造力所能抵达的高度。A. conclusions结论;B. goals目标;C. agreements共识;D. heights高度。根据上文“appreciate”以及下文“reach”可知,走进美术馆能感受到人类艺术创造力达到的境界与高度。

阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
On December 18, 2025, a significant news conference was held in Beijing, during which the city announced that official work permits had been issued to robot chefs, allowing them to prepare meals in public areas. This move marks a pioneering step taken by the government 56 (integrate) automation into the daily culinary (烹饪的) experiences of citizens and tourists. So far, 304 cultural and tourism sites, including parks, museums, and subway stations, 57 (obtain) video business licenses for robot chef services. These robots operate within small food 58 (stand) designed to offer convenient meals to visitors. One key reason behind this policy is to ensure 59 robot chefs follow all relevant food regulations strictly, meaning they must maintain cleanliness and 60 (safe) standards just as human cooks do. The initiative aims to standardize 61 watch over the use of robotic technology in the food service sector.
Capable of working 62 fatigue (疲劳), robot chefs can produce simple dishes such as noodles, rice, and snacks— 63 particular advantage in crowded public spaces where demand for quick meals is high. However, human staff remain responsible for monitoring the robots and checking the quality of the food 64 (serve) to customers.
As one of the first cities in China carrying out such a program, Beijing hopes this innovation will make dining in public locations more convenient and safer, 65 (reflect) a broader effort to combine technological advancement with everyday urban life.
【答案】
56.to integrate 57.have obtained 58.stands 59.that 60.safety 61.and 62.without 63.a 64.served 65.reflecting
【导语】文章主要介绍北京于2025年12月18日为机器人厨师发放官方工作许可,多处分文旅点位获批机器人餐饮经营资质,讲解该政策出台目的、机器人厨师的工作优势以及人工监管的配套安排,体现科技与城市日常生活融合的发展方向。
【详解】56.考查非谓语动词。句意:这一举措是政府迈出的开创性一步,旨在将自动化技术融入市民与游客的日常餐饮体验之中。本句中政府采取该举措的目的是融合自动化技术,用不定式to integrate作目的状语。
57.考查现在完成时。句意:到目前为止,包括公园、博物馆和地铁站在内的304处文旅场所,已经取得了机器人厨师服务的视频经营许可证。时间标志词So far意为“迄今为止”,是现在完成时标志;主语304 cultural and tourism sites为复数,助动词用 have,obtain的过去分词为obtained。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料:根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
For years, I had been using delicate experimental tools and advanced lab materials to bring complex scientific concepts to life for my students. Nothing made me happier than seeing their eyes light up during these interactive and engaging activities. So I had never imagined that waste items would become our most valuable teaching resources, and that shortage would become the source of our greatest inspiration.
Last year, our school was hit by severe budget cuts, which meant many resources for science activities were no longer available. As a teacher who had always relied on vivid experiments to make science fun, I felt extremely frustrated and discouraged. How could I keep my students interested and engaged without the well-equipped lab and expensive materials that had served us so well before? I was at a loss, worrying that my science classes would become boring and ineffective, and that my students would lose their passion for exploring the world through experiments.
Just as I was struggling with this problem, my students surprised me in the most unexpected way. When we started our unit on simple machines, something amazing happened. Jamie, a ten-year-old boy full of curiosity, brought in some old bicycle parts from his garage. He said they could be used to make wheels and levers (控制杆). Following his example, Maya shared cardboard boxes that her family had kept for later use. One by one, other students also brought in recycled items: plastic bottles, string, used cans, and even small pieces of wood. By the end of the week, we had transformed the corner of our classroom into an entire “invention lab” using recycled materials and student contributions.
At first, I doubted whether these simple, everyday objects could support meaningful learning. However, it turned out the learning that happened in that makeshift (临时的) lab exceeded anything we had accomplished with expensive commercial kits.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
In this makeshift lab, students worked with amazing enthusiasm.

By the end of the semester, we held a small exhibition for other classes.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
In this makeshift lab, students worked with amazing enthusiasm. Groups gathered around desks piled high with plastic bottles, strings, cardboard boxes, and various waste items. Instead of following strict instructions from expensive commercial kits, they created, tested, and improved their own simple machines. Some used bicycle chains to build a pulley system, while others cut plastic bottles to create a water wheel. When their simple machine successfully lifted a small weight, cheers erupted. Through hands-on creation and repeated attempts, they developed a much deeper understanding of scientific principles. Their eyes shone with confidence and pride, which I had rarely seen before.
By the end of the semester, we held a small exhibition for other classes. My students proudly showed off their creations, explaining how they used recycled materials to make something useful. It soon became a hit, inspiring many other classes to collect recycled materials for their own creative activities. The principal visited our classroom and was amazed by what we had accomplished. That day, I learned something no teacher training workshop had ever taught me: constraints don’t kill creativity — they set it free. When we involve students as partners in problem-solving, we tap into their creativity and resourcefulness while building genuine investment in their learning.

Heavy traffic is a widespread problem across the United States, wasting both drivers’ time and money. A 2022 study showed that city drivers spent a surprising 51 hours a year waiting in traffic. This has a national cost of about $81 billion. Many people now use navigation (导航) apps on their phones to find the quickest route, but this can create a new problem. If thousands of users follow the same “clear” route suggested by the same navigation, that route will certainly become busy. It’s like everyone trying to rush through one subway car door at the same time.
Fortunately, an innovative solution has emerged. A professor and her team have developed a new and special technology for finding routes, inspired by insights from the study of how people make choices in games. Rather than making route recommendations uniform by assigning the same “best” route to every driver, this cutting-edge technology delivers bespoke route suggestions. The goal is not to help one driver win, but to reduce travel time and costs for all drivers, creating a better traffic flow for the entire system.
To make this technology effective in the real world, the researchers created a special method to manage massive online requests for routes at once. They also designed a system to make it work faster and enhance the technology’s performance even when phone or Internet service fails. Thanks to these new ideas, tests have demonstrated remarkable success. The research showed that the technology can reduce heavy traffic by an amazing 55%.
This new technology is a potential big change for drivers. Its use in traffic programs could lead to less time wasted in traffic, a reduction in harmful gas from vehicles for better air quality, and great savings on fuel. This would improve our ways of travel for everyone. And the best part? The technology is designed to benefit all people in society, not just individual drivers looking for the fastest way to the place they want to go.
24.What trouble do smart navigation systems bring about?
A.Users’ annoyance. B.Long waits on roads.
C.Higher fuel prices. D.More traffic crashes.
25.What does the underlined word “bespoke” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Standardized. B.Modernized. C.Personalized. D.Commercialized.
26.What is the characteristic of the new technology?
A.Fast response to roadblocks. B.Stable performance in trials.
C.Adaptability to temperatures. D.Efficiency in terrible signals.
27.What is the final purpose of the new technology?
A.To make cities liveable. B.To enhance road safety.
C.To reduce travel expense. D.To decrease air pollution.

SHANGHAI, Jan. 9 (Xinhua) — A team of Chinese and international scientists has uncovered the precise mechanism behind one of nature’s most vital alliances: the partnership between legume plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. This finding has the potential to transform future agricultural practices.
The discovery, published in the latest issue of Science, explains how plants and bacteria identify the perfect partner, paving the way for engineered crops that may one day need far less chemical fertilizer. The study explains how legumes such as soybeans and peas identify and form partnerships with specific nitrogen-fixing bacteria — bacteria that help convert atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for the plant. These interactions result in the formation of root nodules (根瘤), which act as natural fertilizer factories. Within these nodules, the plants provide sugars to the bacteria, while the bacteria, in turn, supply the plants with fixed nitrogen.
A long-standing mystery has been how plant roots, surrounded by countless microorganisms, selectively allow only compatible nitrogen-fixing bacteria to enter. This process begins with plant-secreted chemicals called flavonoids, but the exact mechanism of recognition has remained unclear. However, a collaborative team led by researchers from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences (CEMPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has solved this puzzle. By determining the detailed 3D structure of a key bacterial protein called NodD bound to a flavonoid signal, they unveiled the exact “lock-and-key” fit that enables specific partner selection. The team identified unique regions in NodD that act as a selective filter, ensuring each bacterial strain responds only to the flavonoid signal produced by its specific host plant.
According to the study, the findings open new pathways for designing more efficient symbiotic systems. In the future, scientists may engineer nitrogen-fixing bacteria to partner with a broader range of crops — including cereals like rice and wheat, which do not naturally form such relationships.
“This brings us closer to reducing agriculture’s reliance on man-made nitrogen fertilizers,” said Zhang Yu, a researcher at CEMPS. “By understanding this recognition process, we can explore creating new beneficial partnerships between plants and microorganisms.” The research not only decodes a fundamental dialogue in nature but also lays a scientific foundation for designing greener, more sustainable farming systems worldwide, Zhang added.
28.What is the main potential impact of the new discovery on agriculture?
A.It will completely replace chemical fertilizers in farming.
B.It may lead to crops needing much less chemical fertilizer.
C.It allows all plants to form partnerships with bacteria naturally.
D.It explains why only legumes can use atmospheric nitrogen.
29.What is the function of root nodules in legumes?
A.They act as natural fertilizer factories. B.They produce sugars for the plant.
C.They protect plants from harmful bacteria. D.They help plants absorb water from the soil.
30.What can be inferred about the “lock-and-key” fit mentioned in the study?
A.It allows any bacteria to enter plant roots.
B.It prevents all microorganisms from interacting with plants.
C.It is a physical structure found on the surface of roots.
D.It ensures only specific bacteria respond to their host plant’s signal.
31.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce a new type of chemical fertilizer.
B.To explain how plants produce flavonoids.
C.To report a scientific breakthrough in plant-bacteria partnership.
D.To compare different types of nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

Today, AI models can do an astonishing variety of tasks from writing detailed reports to creating video on demand. Some people worry they will soon be surplus (过剩的) to requirements. But is AI actually putting anyone out of work?
Lots of experts claim that it is. They point to a recent paper by Carl Benedikt Frey and Pedro Llanos-Paredes, from the University of Oxford, which suggests a link between automation and declining demand for translators. At the same time, however, official American data suggest that the number of people employed in translation and the like is 7% higher than a year ago.
Others search the economic data for signs of the forthcoming AI job-loss, saying young graduates are now more likely than the average worker to be jobless. Well, no. American young graduates’ relative unemployment rate, which is actual unemployment rate minus (减) national average unemployment rate, started to rise in 2009, long before generative AI came along. And their actual unemployment rate (2025), at around 6%, remains low.
As we examine American data on employment by occupation, we pick out workers believed to be vulnerable (易受影响的) to AI. These are white-collar employees, including people in back-office support, financial operations, sales and much more besides. We find that over the past year the employment in white-collar work has risen slightly.
Across the board, America’s national average unemployment rate (2025) remains low, at 4.2%. Wage growth is still reasonably strong, which goes against the concern that AI is causing demand for labor to fall. And, outside America, earnings growth in many countries also remains strong.
There are two competing causes of these trends. First, despite the endless announcements about integrating AI into operations, few companies make much use of the technology for serious work. The second is that even when companies do adopt the tech, they do not let people go.
That said, whatever the cause, for now there is no need to panic.
32.What fuels people’s fear of being unemployed?
A.Limitations of human labor.
B.Modern technological advances.
C.Complexity of tasks in the AI era.
D.Heavy workload in various fields.
33.Which chart best shows American young graduates’ relative unemployment rate?
A. B.
C. D.
34.Why does the author mention two reasons in paragraph 6?
A.To cite the data sources.
B.To identify the likelier reason.
C.To further justify his prediction.
D.To model valid research methods.
35.What’s probably the author’s attitude towards human employment?
A.Puzzled. B.Alarmed. C.Indifferent. D.Optimistic.

Reading on Screens: A Cognitive Shift
Digital reading has become ubiquitous, yet its impact on comprehension remains controversial. A 2024 meta-analysis reveals that readers absorb 20-30% less complex information from screens than print. 36 The phenomenon, termed “digital distraction syndrome (综合征)”, suggests our brains subconsciously (下意识地) associate devices with fragmented consumption.
Neuroscientists attribute this to reduced “cognitive mapping.” Physical books provide tactile (触觉上的) cues-page thickness, spatial (空间的) memory of text locations-that enhance recall. Screens offer uniform scrolling, flattening mental architecture. 37 This spatial disorientation (迷路) impairs the brain’s ability to organize information hierarchy (分等级的).
38 In a Cambridge University experiment, students reading philosophical texts on tablets scored lower on inference questions than print readers, despite identical reading times. Eye-tracking data showed screen readers exhibited “shallow scanning”: pay attention to the keywords but skipping connective phrases essential for contextual understanding.
The solution isn’t abandoning technology, but redesigning digital interfaces (接口). 39 Researchers propose “cognitive scaffolding (支架)” tools: interactive outlines that visually mirror text structure, or AI-generated summaries reinforcing (加强) key arguments between paragraphs. Such interventions could bridge the comprehension gap.
40 As one cognitive psychologist notes: “We must engineer digital environments that respect how the human brain evolved to process information — not force our brains to conform to digital limitations.”
A.Evidence extends beyond laboratory settings into real-world academic performance.
B.Contrary to popular belief, today’s youth prefer print for intensive study sessions.
C.This deficit (不足) persists across age groups, from digital natives to older adults.
D.Multitasking during screen reading further diminishes retention capacity.
E.Educational policymakers should prioritize print textbooks in primary schools.
F.Consequently, readers struggle to construct mental frameworks for long-term knowledge integration.
G.Emerging technologies like VR may simulate physical page-turning to restore spatial memory.

I recently visited the Boston Museum of Fine Arts — my first visit to an art museum in several years. When I left the museum, I felt my 41 for fine art — from painting to sculpting to sketching — grow ten times.
42 , with the increasing use of AI, the field of art has lost some of its authenticity. I find artists on the Internet who use generative AI to create drawings but 43 the art as their own.
While AI art can sometimes look 44 and can occasionally even trick skilled artists, it’s all a hollow 45 of human creativity. The fact is that feeding instructions into a computer and watching a robot spit out images isn’t the same as being an 46 .
Knowing that a real human placed every 47 with a specific story in mind is what makes works like Leonardo DaVinci’s 48 “Mona Lisa” so memorable. Mona Lisa was a real woman with a real story. And AI can never 49 art that tells a story. Art should be a labor of love. Its story and 50 are as much a part of the artwork as the art piece itself.
My visit to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts helped me 51 that art museums are now more important than ever. 52 the rich history of human-created artwork is essential in a world where it is becoming increasingly filled with 53 , machine-created works. So whenever you have the 54 , go visit your local art museum. You’ll appreciate the 55 that human creativity can reach.

On December 18, 2025, a significant news conference was held in Beijing, during which the city announced that official work permits had been issued to robot chefs, allowing them to prepare meals in public areas. This move marks a pioneering step taken by the government 56 (integrate) automation into the daily culinary (烹饪的) experiences of citizens and tourists. So far, 304 cultural and tourism sites, including parks, museums, and subway stations, 57 (obtain) video business licenses for robot chef services. These robots operate within small food 58 (stand) designed to offer convenient meals to visitors. One key reason behind this policy is to ensure 59 robot chefs follow all relevant food regulations strictly, meaning they must maintain cleanliness and 60 (safe) standards just as human cooks do. The initiative aims to standardize 61 watch over the use of robotic technology in the food service sector.
Capable of working 62 fatigue (疲劳), robot chefs can produce simple dishes such as noodles, rice, and snacks— 63 particular advantage in crowded public spaces where demand for quick meals is high. However, human staff remain responsible for monitoring the robots and checking the quality of the food 64 (serve) to customers.
As one of the first cities in China carrying out such a program, Beijing hopes this innovation will make dining in public locations more convenient and safer, 65 (reflect) a broader effort to combine technological advancement with everyday urban life.

阅读下面材料:根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
For years, I had been using delicate experimental tools and advanced lab materials to bring complex scientific concepts to life for my students. Nothing made me happier than seeing their eyes light up during these interactive and engaging activities. So I had never imagined that waste items would become our most valuable teaching resources, and that shortage would become the source of our greatest inspiration.
Last year, our school was hit by severe budget cuts, which meant many resources for science activities were no longer available. As a teacher who had always relied on vivid experiments to make science fun, I felt extremely frustrated and discouraged. How could I keep my students interested and engaged without the well-equipped lab and expensive materials that had served us so well before? I was at a loss, worrying that my science classes would become boring and ineffective, and that my students would lose their passion for exploring the world through experiments.
Just as I was struggling with this problem, my students surprised me in the most unexpected way. When we started our unit on simple machines, something amazing happened. Jamie, a ten-year-old boy full of curiosity, brought in some old bicycle parts from his garage. He said they could be used to make wheels and levers (控制杆). Following his example, Maya shared cardboard boxes that her family had kept for later use. One by one, other students also brought in recycled items: plastic bottles, string, used cans, and even small pieces of wood. By the end of the week, we had transformed the corner of our classroom into an entire “invention lab” using recycled materials and student contributions.
At first, I doubted whether these simple, everyday objects could support meaningful learning. However, it turned out the learning that happened in that makeshift (临时的) lab exceeded anything we had accomplished with expensive commercial kits.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
In this makeshift lab, students worked with amazing enthusiasm.

Dear Jim,
I’m thrilled to receive your email asking about our school’s “When Sports Meet AI” event held last month. It was a truly eye-opening experience that showed me how technology is revolutionizing the world of sports.
We got hands-on experience with AI-powered fitness devices that analyzed our basketball shots in real time and gave personalized tips to improve our accuracy. We also attended an engaging lecture on how AI helps professional athletes optimize their training and avoid career-threatening injuries.
For me, this activity completely transformed my perception of artificial intelligence. I used to associate AI with science fiction, but now I see it as a practical tool that can enhance every aspect of our daily lives, even something as simple as playing sports.
Yours,
Li Hua

In this makeshift lab, students worked with amazing enthusiasm. Groups gathered around desks piled high with plastic bottles, strings, cardboard boxes, and various waste items. Instead of following strict instructions from expensive commercial kits, they created, tested, and improved their own simple machines. Some used bicycle chains to build a pulley system, while others cut plastic bottles to create a water wheel. When their simple machine successfully lifted a small weight, cheers erupted. Through hands-on creation and repeated attempts, they developed a much deeper understanding of scientific principles. Their eyes shone with confidence and pride, which I had rarely seen before.
By the end of the semester, we held a small exhibition for other classes. My students proudly showed off their creations, explaining how they used recycled materials to make something useful. It soon became a hit, inspiring many other classes to collect recycled materials for their own creative activities. The principal visited our classroom and was amazed by what we had accomplished. That day, I learned something no teacher training workshop had ever taught me: constraints don’t kill creativity — they set it free. When we involve students as partners in problem-solving, we tap into their creativity and resourcefulness while building genuine investment in their learning.

Heavy traffic is a widespread problem across the United States, wasting both drivers’ time and money. A 2022 study showed that city drivers spent a surprising 51 hours a year waiting in traffic. This has a national cost of about $81 billion. Many people now use navigation (导航) apps on their phones to find the quickest route, but this can create a new problem. If thousands of users follow the same “clear” route suggested by the same navigation, that route will certainly become busy. It’s like everyone trying to rush through one subway car door at the same time.
Fortunately, an innovative solution has emerged. A professor and her team have developed a new and special technology for finding routes, inspired by insights from the study of how people make choices in games. Rather than making route recommendations uniform by assigning the same “best” route to every driver, this cutting-edge technology delivers bespoke route suggestions. The goal is not to help one driver win, but to reduce travel time and costs for all drivers, creating a better traffic flow for the entire system.
To make this technology effective in the real world, the researchers created a special method to manage massive online requests for routes at once. They also designed a system to make it work faster and enhance the technology’s performance even when phone or Internet service fails. Thanks to these new ideas, tests have demonstrated remarkable success. The research showed that the technology can reduce heavy traffic by an amazing 55%.
This new technology is a potential big change for drivers. Its use in traffic programs could lead to less time wasted in traffic, a reduction in harmful gas from vehicles for better air quality, and great savings on fuel. This would improve our ways of travel for everyone. And the best part? The technology is designed to benefit all people in society, not just individual drivers looking for the fastest way to the place they want to go.
24.What trouble do smart navigation systems bring about?
A.Users’ annoyance. B.Long waits on roads.
C.Higher fuel prices. D.More traffic crashes.
25.What does the underlined word “bespoke” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Standardized. B.Modernized. C.Personalized. D.Commercialized.
26.What is the characteristic of the new technology?
A.Fast response to roadblocks. B.Stable performance in trials.
C.Adaptability to temperatures. D.Efficiency in terrible signals.
27.What is the final purpose of the new technology?
A.To make cities liveable. B.To enhance road safety.
C.To reduce travel expense. D.To decrease air pollution.

SHANGHAI, Jan. 9 (Xinhua) — A team of Chinese and international scientists has uncovered the precise mechanism behind one of nature’s most vital alliances: the partnership between legume plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. This finding has the potential to transform future agricultural practices.
The discovery, published in the latest issue of Science, explains how plants and bacteria identify the perfect partner, paving the way for engineered crops that may one day need far less chemical fertilizer. The study explains how legumes such as soybeans and peas identify and form partnerships with specific nitrogen-fixing bacteria — bacteria that help convert atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for the plant. These interactions result in the formation of root nodules (根瘤), which act as natural fertilizer factories. Within these nodules, the plants provide sugars to the bacteria, while the bacteria, in turn, supply the plants with fixed nitrogen.
A long-standing mystery has been how plant roots, surrounded by countless microorganisms, selectively allow only compatible nitrogen-fixing bacteria to enter. This process begins with plant-secreted chemicals called flavonoids, but the exact mechanism of recognition has remained unclear. However, a collaborative team led by researchers from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences (CEMPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has solved this puzzle. By determining the detailed 3D structure of a key bacterial protein called NodD bound to a flavonoid signal, they unveiled the exact “lock-and-key” fit that enables specific partner selection. The team identified unique regions in NodD that act as a selective filter, ensuring each bacterial strain responds only to the flavonoid signal produced by its specific host plant.
According to the study, the findings open new pathways for designing more efficient symbiotic systems. In the future, scientists may engineer nitrogen-fixing bacteria to partner with a broader range of crops — including cereals like rice and wheat, which do not naturally form such relationships.
“This brings us closer to reducing agriculture’s reliance on man-made nitrogen fertilizers,” said Zhang Yu, a researcher at CEMPS. “By understanding this recognition process, we can explore creating new beneficial partnerships between plants and microorganisms.” The research not only decodes a fundamental dialogue in nature but also lays a scientific foundation for designing greener, more sustainable farming systems worldwide, Zhang added.
28.What is the main potential impact of the new discovery on agriculture?
A.It will completely replace chemical fertilizers in farming.
B.It may lead to crops needing much less chemical fertilizer.
C.It allows all plants to form partnerships with bacteria naturally.
D.It explains why only legumes can use atmospheric nitrogen.
29.What is the function of root nodules in legumes?
A.They act as natural fertilizer factories. B.They produce sugars for the plant.
C.They protect plants from harmful bacteria. D.They help plants absorb water from the soil.
30.What can be inferred about the “lock-and-key” fit mentioned in the study?
A.It allows any bacteria to enter plant roots.
B.It prevents all microorganisms from interacting with plants.
C.It is a physical structure found on the surface of roots.
D.It ensures only specific bacteria respond to their host plant’s signal.
31.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce a new type of chemical fertilizer.
B.To explain how plants produce flavonoids.
C.To report a scientific breakthrough in plant-bacteria partnership.
D.To compare different types of nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

Today, AI models can do an astonishing variety of tasks from writing detailed reports to creating video on demand. Some people worry they will soon be surplus (过剩的) to requirements. But is AI actually putting anyone out of work?
Lots of experts claim that it is. They point to a recent paper by Carl Benedikt Frey and Pedro Llanos-Paredes, from the University of Oxford, which suggests a link between automation and declining demand for translators. At the same time, however, official American data suggest that the number of people employed in translation and the like is 7% higher than a year ago.
Others search the economic data for signs of the forthcoming AI job-loss, saying young graduates are now more likely than the average worker to be jobless. Well, no. American young graduates’ relative unemployment rate, which is actual unemployment rate minus (减) national average unemployment rate, started to rise in 2009, long before generative AI came along. And their actual unemployment rate (2025), at around 6%, remains low.
As we examine American data on employment by occupation, we pick out workers believed to be vulnerable (易受影响的) to AI. These are white-collar employees, including people in back-office support, financial operations, sales and much more besides. We find that over the past year the employment in white-collar work has risen slightly.
Across the board, America’s national average unemployment rate (2025) remains low, at 4.2%. Wage growth is still reasonably strong, which goes against the concern that AI is causing demand for labor to fall. And, outside America, earnings growth in many countries also remains strong.
There are two competing causes of these trends. First, despite the endless announcements about integrating AI into operations, few companies make much use of the technology for serious work. The second is that even when companies do adopt the tech, they do not let people go.
That said, whatever the cause, for now there is no need to panic.
32.What fuels people’s fear of being unemployed?
A.Limitations of human labor.
B.Modern technological advances.
C.Complexity of tasks in the AI era.
D.Heavy workload in various fields.
33.Which chart best shows American young graduates’ relative unemployment rate?
A. B.
C. D.
34.Why does the author mention two reasons in paragraph 6?
A.To cite the data sources.
B.To identify the likelier reason.
C.To further justify his prediction.
D.To model valid research methods.
35.What’s probably the author’s attitude towards human employment?
A.Puzzled. B.Alarmed. C.Indifferent. D.Optimistic.

Reading on Screens: A Cognitive Shift
Digital reading has become ubiquitous, yet its impact on comprehension remains controversial. A 2024 meta-analysis reveals that readers absorb 20-30% less complex information from screens than print. 36 The phenomenon, termed “digital distraction syndrome (综合征)”, suggests our brains subconsciously (下意识地) associate devices with fragmented consumption.
Neuroscientists attribute this to reduced “cognitive mapping.” Physical books provide tactile (触觉上的) cues-page thickness, spatial (空间的) memory of text locations-that enhance recall. Screens offer uniform scrolling, flattening mental architecture. 37 This spatial disorientation (迷路) impairs the brain’s ability to organize information hierarchy (分等级的).
38 In a Cambridge University experiment, students reading philosophical texts on tablets scored lower on inference questions than print readers, despite identical reading times. Eye-tracking data showed screen readers exhibited “shallow scanning”: pay attention to the keywords but skipping connective phrases essential for contextual understanding.
The solution isn’t abandoning technology, but redesigning digital interfaces (接口). 39 Researchers propose “cognitive scaffolding (支架)” tools: interactive outlines that visually mirror text structure, or AI-generated summaries reinforcing (加强) key arguments between paragraphs. Such interventions could bridge the comprehension gap.
40 As one cognitive psychologist notes: “We must engineer digital environments that respect how the human brain evolved to process information — not force our brains to conform to digital limitations.”
A.Evidence extends beyond laboratory settings into real-world academic performance.
B.Contrary to popular belief, today’s youth prefer print for intensive study sessions.
C.This deficit (不足) persists across age groups, from digital natives to older adults.
D.Multitasking during screen reading further diminishes retention capacity.
E.Educational policymakers should prioritize print textbooks in primary schools.
F.Consequently, readers struggle to construct mental frameworks for long-term knowledge integration.
G.Emerging technologies like VR may simulate physical page-turning to restore spatial memory.

I recently visited the Boston Museum of Fine Arts — my first visit to an art museum in several years. When I left the museum, I felt my 41 for fine art — from painting to sculpting to sketching — grow ten times.
42 , with the increasing use of AI, the field of art has lost some of its authenticity. I find artists on the Internet who use generative AI to create drawings but 43 the art as their own.
While AI art can sometimes look 44 and can occasionally even trick skilled artists, it’s all a hollow 45 of human creativity. The fact is that feeding instructions into a computer and watching a robot spit out images isn’t the same as being an 46 .
Knowing that a real human placed every 47 with a specific story in mind is what makes works like Leonardo DaVinci’s 48 “Mona Lisa” so memorable. Mona Lisa was a real woman with a real story. And AI can never 49 art that tells a story. Art should be a labor of love. Its story and 50 are as much a part of the artwork as the art piece itself.
My visit to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts helped me 51 that art museums are now more important than ever. 52 the rich history of human-created artwork is essential in a world where it is becoming increasingly filled with 53 , machine-created works. So whenever you have the 54 , go visit your local art museum. You’ll appreciate the 55 that human creativity can reach.

On December 18, 2025, a significant news conference was held in Beijing, during which the city announced that official work permits had been issued to robot chefs, allowing them to prepare meals in public areas. This move marks a pioneering step taken by the government 56 (integrate) automation into the daily culinary (烹饪的) experiences of citizens and tourists. So far, 304 cultural and tourism sites, including parks, museums, and subway stations, 57 (obtain) video business licenses for robot chef services. These robots operate within small food 58 (stand) designed to offer convenient meals to visitors. One key reason behind this policy is to ensure 59 robot chefs follow all relevant food regulations strictly, meaning they must maintain cleanliness and 60 (safe) standards just as human cooks do. The initiative aims to standardize 61 watch over the use of robotic technology in the food service sector.
Capable of working 62 fatigue (疲劳), robot chefs can produce simple dishes such as noodles, rice, and snacks— 63 particular advantage in crowded public spaces where demand for quick meals is high. However, human staff remain responsible for monitoring the robots and checking the quality of the food 64 (serve) to customers.
As one of the first cities in China carrying out such a program, Beijing hopes this innovation will make dining in public locations more convenient and safer, 65 (reflect) a broader effort to combine technological advancement with everyday urban life.

阅读下面材料:根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
For years, I had been using delicate experimental tools and advanced lab materials to bring complex scientific concepts to life for my students. Nothing made me happier than seeing their eyes light up during these interactive and engaging activities. So I had never imagined that waste items would become our most valuable teaching resources, and that shortage would become the source of our greatest inspiration.
Last year, our school was hit by severe budget cuts, which meant many resources for science activities were no longer available. As a teacher who had always relied on vivid experiments to make science fun, I felt extremely frustrated and discouraged. How could I keep my students interested and engaged without the well-equipped lab and expensive materials that had served us so well before? I was at a loss, worrying that my science classes would become boring and ineffective, and that my students would lose their passion for exploring the world through experiments.
Just as I was struggling with this problem, my students surprised me in the most unexpected way. When we started our unit on simple machines, something amazing happened. Jamie, a ten-year-old boy full of curiosity, brought in some old bicycle parts from his garage. He said they could be used to make wheels and levers (控制杆). Following his example, Maya shared cardboard boxes that her family had kept for later use. One by one, other students also brought in recycled items: plastic bottles, string, used cans, and even small pieces of wood. By the end of the week, we had transformed the corner of our classroom into an entire “invention lab” using recycled materials and student contributions.
At first, I doubted whether these simple, everyday objects could support meaningful learning. However, it turned out the learning that happened in that makeshift (临时的) lab exceeded anything we had accomplished with expensive commercial kits.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
In this makeshift lab, students worked with amazing enthusiasm.
