Some barely used, some worn-down, but each unfailingly functional, they remind me of his love of solving crossword puzzles. In his 80s, Appa would read the day’s newspaper, cover to cover. A few minutes of reading with the sun streaming in through the bay windows. A spark in his mind, and bingo! He’d get that puzzling word to complete the puzzle. While my father used words for love, I did the same for a living. In my own mind, it did not matter how much I got paid for writing. I wrote because I loved it, often for or about non-profits — that is until recently. “You were paid peanuts!” said some of my younger, more worldly-wise friends. Unlike me, they found the best places to publish their work and the best editors to work with. But their words didn’t affect me. However, when an editor surprised me with a lower rate of pay for a piece they chose to publish online rather than in print, as was originally proposed, I was shocked... and hurt! But like my father, I saw the bright side — so many people read the piece and loved it, sharing joyful emotions and praise on social media. It did wonders for my confidence. Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Appa’s sharpened pencil. Its purpose may have been to solve a crossword. A crossword is complete — and gives one joy — with only so many words, and only when each word rests on elements from the others. Couldn’t my words hold a duality (双重性) that completes my purpose too? And so, now I take up assignments, some that pay well, some that don’t, but together, and most importantly, they fill me with joy. After all, it is only our heartfelt passion that matters. 4. Why did the author mention his father in the article? A. To express the author’s love for his father. B. To emphasize his father’s influence on him. C. To introduce his father’s passion for the puzzles. D. To indicate his father’s supporting his career as a writer. 5. What does the underlined sentence “You were paid peanuts” mean in paragraph 4? A. You were paid in cash. B. You were paid lots of money. C. You were paid very little money. D. You were paid with valuable items. 6. What made the author feel hurt? A. The editor refused to publish his article. B. His article was published in print as proposed. C. His article was published online with a lower pay. D. The editor reduced the payment due to budget cuts. 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. Like father, like son. B. Follow your own path, and let others talk. C. What is done with passion is done well. D. Love what you do and do what you love. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者受父亲影响，坚持写作，不因报酬多少而改变对写作的热爱，追寻内心激情。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“But like my father, I saw the bright side — so many people read the piece and loved it, sharing joyful emotions and praise on social media. It did wonders for my confidence.(不过，和父亲一样，我也看到了积极的一面——很多人读了这篇文章，并且很喜欢，他们在社交媒体上分享着喜悦和赞美。这极大地增强了我的信心)”和最后一段中“Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Appa’s sharpened pencil. Its purpose may have been to solve a crossword. A crossword is complete — and gives one joy — with only so many words, and only when each word rests on elements from the others. Couldn’t my words hold a duality (双重性) that completes my purpose too? And so, now I take up assignments, some that pay well, some that don’t, but together, and most importantly, they fill me with joy.(如今，每当我心生疑虑时，我就会想起Appa削尖的铅笔。它的用途或许是解填字游戏。一份填字游戏，只有用上一定数量的单词，而且每个单词都要与其他单词相互关联，才能完成，才会给人带来乐趣。难道我的文字就不能也具有这种双重性，从而实现我的写作目的吗？于是，现在我开始接受各种写作任务，有些报酬丰厚，有些则不然，但最重要的是，它们都让我感到快乐)”可知，父亲的行为影响了作者对写作的态度，作者提及父亲是为了强调父亲对自己的影响。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中““You were paid peanuts!” said some of my younger, more worldly-wise friends. Unlike me, they found the best places to publish their work and the best editors to work with.(“You were paid peanuts!”一些比我年轻、更通晓世事的朋友这样说道。与我不一样，他们能找到发表作品的好地方，也能和优秀的编辑合作)”可知，朋友们认为作者报酬低，“You were paid peanuts!”意思是“你得到的报酬很少”。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“However, when an editor surprised me with a lower rate of pay for a piece they chose to publish online rather than in print, as was originally proposed, I was shocked... and hurt!(然而，当一位编辑出人意料地告诉我，他们选择在网上而不是按最初提议的那样在印刷版上发表我的一篇文章，而且报酬更低时，我震惊了……也很受伤！)”可知，让作者感到受伤的是他的文章在网上发表，但报酬却降低了。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Appa’s sharpened pencil. Its purpose may have been to solve a crossword. A crossword is complete — and gives one joy — with only so many words, and only when each word rests on elements from the others. Couldn’t my words hold a duality (双重性) that completes my purpose too? And so, now I take up assignments, some that pay well, some that don’t, but together, and most importantly, they fill me with joy. After all, it is only our heartfelt passion that matters.(如今，每当我心生疑虑时，我就会想起Appa削尖的铅笔。它的用途或许是解填字游戏。一份填字游戏，只有用上一定数量的单词，而且每个单词都要与其他单词相互关联，才能完成，才会给人带来乐趣。难道我的文字就不能也具有这种双重性，从而实现我的写作目的吗？于是，现在我开始接受各种写作任务，有些报酬丰厚，有些则不然，但最重要的是，它们都让我感到快乐。毕竟，只有我们发自内心的热爱才是最重要的。)”以及全文作者受父亲影响，坚持写作，不因报酬多少而改变对写作的热爱可知，我们能从这篇文章中学到“热爱你所做的，做你所爱的”。故选D。 C New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted within us? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called a TQ, or technology quotient. Think of it like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parent it might be a home-school video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting. And for the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations. This adoption is critical from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the dynamics of AI and search are changing for just about everyone. Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in projecting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and assimilate technology will be a defining aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smart phones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to incorporate technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn — turning adaptability with tech into a measurable edge. 8. What is TQ according to the text? A. Ability to apply new technologies. B. Skill of fixing high-tech products. C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Speed of learning new languages. 9. Which of the following people has a high TQ? A. A manager who often uses modern search engines. B. A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance. C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices awkward. D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life. 10. What does the underlined word “assimilate” in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Rely on. B. Take in. C. Benefit from. D. Learn about. 11. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ? B. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era? C. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence? D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes? 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了科技商数（TQ）的概念、现实应用场景，阐述了在科技无处不在的新时代，TQ正逐步和IQ、EQ结合，成为影响人们生活、工作与学习的重要能力指标。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段内容“Think of it like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet.(想象一下，这就像一种超能力，能让你轻松理解那些曾被我们的曾祖父母觉得根本不可能实现的最新科技。拥有高TQ意味着你特别擅长使用那些尚未为大众所知的酷炫新事物。)”以及第三段内容“TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations.(科技商数（TQ）旨在量化我们合理运用现有技术，以及快速适应、接纳并利用未来创新成果的能力。)”可知，拥有TQ的人能轻松理解并擅长使用新事物，这样的人能快速适应，接纳并利用未来创新成果，即TQ指的是运用新技术的能力。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段内容“And for the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan.(对于临床工作者而言，它可能是人工智能辅助CT扫描分析的相关应用。)”可知，借助人工智能辅助分析CT扫描的医生符合高TQ的特征。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段内容画线单词所在句“The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and assimilate technology will be a defining aspect of their lives as we speed into the future.(随着我们快速走向未来，孩子和老师理解、接纳并assimilate技术的能力将是他们生活的一个决定性方面。)”可知，“understand (理解)”“embrace (接纳)”与“assimilate”为并列关系；结合语境和常识可推知，对于新技术的学习和使用过程应是“理解→接纳→吸收、内化运用”；故猜测“assimilate”应表示“吸收、掌握”，选项B“take in”有“吸收、理解”之意，与之意思相近。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第二段内容“Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called a TQ, or technology quotient.(有些人特别擅长使用各种层出不穷的酷炫新工具，他们有一种叫做“技术智商”（TQ）的能力。)”提出了文章的核心话题“技术商数（TQ）”，同时通过阅读文章内容可知，文章围绕TQ的定义、现实价值展开，介绍了TQ作为和IQ、EQ并列的新能力指标的重要性，核心是阐释TQ成为新的智力衡量维度的原因。C项“What Makes TQ the New Intelligence?(为何科技商数（TQ）会成为一种新型智力衡量指标？)”贴合主题。 D Stanford assistant professor Ruike Zhao published a groundbreaking medical breakthrough in Nature: using a tiny 2 mm micro-robot, she increased the success rate of blood clot (血块) removal from a mere 11% to an amazing 90%, sending shockwaves through the medical world. In modern society, about one in every dozen people may experience a blood clot in their lifetime. It is widely known that blood clots are the leading cause of strokes and heart attacks. During treatment, the ability to quickly and effectively restore blood flow becomes a matter of life and death. Unfortunately, traditional mechanical methods have a low success rate. The process is like trying to pick up broken tofu with chopsticks — not only is success unlikely, but the situation may even worsen. Blood clots may break apart while being deformed, resulting in small pieces stuck in hard-to-reach areas. However, Professor Zhao’s 2 mm micro-robot enters blood vessels (血管) and, using high-speed rotation (旋转), generates forces to reduce the clot size to 5%. It’s like when you press and rub soft things, like hair, between your hands. The force makes them stick together into a small ball. The micro-robot works similarly, using pressure to bring the clot components together, making them easier to remove. This process requires no drugs, causes no vessel damage, and effectively releases trapped red blood cells back into blood. What’s astonishing is that this innovation is inspired from subway TBMs, tunnel-boring machines (盾构机). The way tunnel-boring machines efficiently handle hard soil and rock in narrow spaces inspired the creation. This brilliant Chinese researcher miniaturized the enormous underground machine to a size tens of thousands of times smaller and adapted it for use in human blood vessels. Currently, the technology has been successfully tested on pigs. While most of these studies remain in the laboratory phase, the breakthrough itself is exciting. This technology may soon extend beyond blood clots to address issues like kidney stones or gallstones. 12. How does the author present the breakthrough in paragraph 1? A. By explaining a technical term. B. By contrasting the statistics. C. By providing the study’s background. D. By citing an authority. 13. What is the advantage of Zhao’s micro-robot over traditional methods? A. It generates blood more rapidly. B. It prevents clots from forming again. C. It is recyclable and economical. D. It raises success rate and reduces side effects. 14. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning TBMs? A. The cost of medical robotics. B. The reason behind the numerous trials. C. The inspiration behind the innovation. D. The importance of modern machinery. 15. What is the last paragraph about? A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study. C. Necessity for tests on more animals. D. Potential application of the invention. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，讲述了斯坦福大学Ruike Zhao教授研发2毫米微型机器人，将血栓清除成功率从11%提升至90%，灵感来自盾构机技术，未来或可应用于肾结石等治疗。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Stanford assistant professor Ruike Zhao published a groundbreaking medical breakthrough in Nature : using a tiny 2 mm micro-robot, she increased the success rate of blood clot (血块) removal from a mere 11% to an amazing 90%, sending shockwaves through the medical world.(斯坦福大学助理教授赵瑞克在《自然》杂志上发表了一项具有开创性的医学突破成果：她利用一个仅有 2 毫米大小的微型机器人，将血块清除的成功率从原本的 11%大幅提升至令人惊叹的 90%，这一成果在医学界引起了巨大轰动。)”可知，文章第一段通过比较数据说明。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“However, Professor Zhao’s 2 mm micro-robot enters blood vessels (血管) and, using high-speed rotation (旋转), generates forces to reduce the clot size to 5%. It's like when you press and rub soft things, like hair, between your hands. The force makes them stick together into a small ball. The micro-robot works similarly, using pressure to bring the clot components together, making them easier to remove. This process requires no drugs, causes no vessel damage, and effectively releases trapped red blood cells back into blood.(然而，赵教授研发的2毫米微型机器人能够进入血管内部，并通过高速旋转产生力量，将血块缩小至 5%。这就好比你用手掌相互按压并揉搓柔软的物体，比如头发，从而让它们粘连成一个小球。微型机器人的工作原理也是如此，它利用压力将血块成分挤压在一起，使其更容易被清除。这个过程无需药物，不会对血管造成损伤，并能有效地将被困住的红细胞重新释放回血液中。)”可知，赵教授的微型机器人相较于传统方法提高了成功率，并减少了副作用。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“What’s astonishing is that this innovation is inspired from subway TBMs, tunnel-boring machines (盾构机). The way tunnel-boring machines efficiently handle hard soil and rock in narrow spaces inspired the creation.(令人惊讶的是，这一创新的灵感来源于地铁中的隧道掘进机。隧道掘进机能够在狭窄空间内高效地处理坚硬的土壤和岩石，这一特点激发了这一创新的诞生。)”可知，作者提及TBMs是为了说明这项创新背后的灵感来源。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Currently, the technology has been successfully tested on pigs. While most of these studies remain in the laboratory phase, the breakthrough itself is exciting. This technology may soon extend beyond blood clots to address issues like kidney stones or gallstones.(目前，该技术已在猪身上成功进行了测试。虽然这些研究大多仍处于实验室阶段，但这一突破本身令人振奋。这项技术或许很快就会从治疗血栓领域拓展到解决诸如肾结石或胆结石等问题。)”可知，最后一段讲到了这项发明的潜在应用。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 This year, I received an exciting message from the Science Center: out of nearly 2,000 applicants, only 40 high school students were selected to take part in their famous summer program, and I was one of them! ____16____ For the two-week summer program, I chose to focus on a biology project. My research centered on investigating the presence and impact of bacteria (细菌) in different water sources — specifically comparing wild lake water with home pool water to determine which was more harmful. ____17____ Those are two fields I’m deeply passionate about.

Slowing down, I opened the window and called out, “Need a ride?” I helped her into the passenger seat, and we were off. She directed me to go farther south. Suddenly, I realized we were on the “wrong side of town.” It was starting to get dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued down unfamiliar streets until she finally pointed to an old apartment building. The street was dirty and the air was smelly. Several young men gathered around the entrance. They appeared threatening. Some were on motorcycles, and one boy with bushy, long hair was staring at me intently (目不转睛地) — too intently — and smiling. I was getting more and more uncomfortable. I stopped the car. A couple of the guys helped with the groceries. The old lady thanked me, and I drove away as fast as I could. I was driving when I was interrupted by a motorcycle behind me. It was that boy who kept smiling at me with a strange look! In a panic, I slowed down, hoping he would pass me. But he continued to drive at the same speed as me. I realized he was waving for me to stop. No way was I going to stop for a stranger on an unfamiliar street. I tried to speed away, but it didn’t stop him. He raced after me again. Getting increasingly anxious, I reached down in the passenger seat to get my cell phone. I had to call 911. With my eyes on the road, one hand on the wheel and the other hand searching on the seat next to me, I found a phone. But it wasn’t mine. “Oh no, the lady took my phone by mistake!” Meanwhile, the guy on the bike stayed close to me. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I saw the boy waving something. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I felt guilty and wanted to reward the boy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I saw the boy waving something. Squinting through the rearview mirror, I realized it was my cell phone — its familiar case glinting in the dim streetlight. My heart skipped a beat, and I slowly pulled over, still on edge. He stopped his motorcycle beside me, holding out the phone with a gentle smile. “The old lady left this in my apartment building,” he said softly. “I saw it was yours and rushed to catch up. Didn’t mean to scare you.” His words melted my panic, and I felt a rush of embarrassment for judging him so quickly. I felt guilty and wanted to reward the boy. I fumbled in my wallet, but he shook his head firmly. “No need, ma’am. I just didn’t want you to worry about your phone.” His kindness made my cheeks burn. Instead, I asked for his name — Liam — and told him I’d bring him a homemade meal the next day. The next afternoon, I dropped off a plate of lasagna at his apartment. He thanked me with a big grin, and we chatted for a few minutes. That day, I learned never to judge someone by their appearance; sometimes, angels wear leather jackets and ride motorcycles. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述作者在炎热天气载了一位老年妇女，因去了陌生街区且遇到看似有威胁的年轻人而不安，离开后被其中一男孩骑摩托追赶，作者恐慌时发现手机被妇女错拿，后男孩归还手机，作者愧疚并想报答，也明白不能以貌取人。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段内容“我看见那个男孩正挥舞着什么东西。”可知，第一段可描写男孩挥舞着作者的手机追赶，停车后解释是老奶奶遗落让他归还，作者既安心又愧疚。 ②由第二段首句内容“我心怀愧疚，想报答这个男孩。”可知，第二段可描写作者愧疚想报答男孩遭拒，得知其名后送家常千层面，聊天中领悟不可以貌取人，平凡外表下或藏善意。 2. 续写线索：男孩追赶——男孩解释——作者既安心又愧疚——想报答男孩遭拒——聊天——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware that ②停车：pull over/pull up ③担心：worry about/be concerned about 情绪类 ①恐慌：panic/fear/terror ②尴尬：embarrassment/awkwardness 【点睛】【高分句型1】He stopped his motorcycle beside me, holding out the phone with a gentle smile. （运用了现在分词短语作状语） 【高分句型2】Instead, I asked for his name — Liam — and told him I’d bring him a homemade meal the next day. （运用了省略that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语10月段考试卷 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Global Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge The Global Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge (GYEC) is an online 12-hour business idea competition for high school students.

B When Appa passed away peacefully one morning, part of my priceless inheritance (遗产) from him is a box of yellow pencils. Some barely used, some worn-down, but each unfailingly functional, they remind me of his love of solving crossword puzzles. In his 80s, Appa would read the day’s newspaper, cover to cover. A few minutes of reading with the sun streaming in through the bay windows. A spark in his mind, and bingo! He’d get that puzzling word to complete the puzzle. While my father used words for love, I did the same for a living. In my own mind, it did not matter how much I got paid for writing. I wrote because I loved it, often for or about non-profits — that is until recently. “You were paid peanuts!” said some of my younger, more worldly-wise friends. Unlike me, they found the best places to publish their work and the best editors to work with. But their words didn’t affect me. However, when an editor surprised me with a lower rate of pay for a piece they chose to publish online rather than in print, as was originally proposed, I was shocked... and hurt! But like my father, I saw the bright side — so many people read the piece and loved it, sharing joyful emotions and praise on social media. It did wonders for my confidence. Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Appa’s sharpened pencil. Its purpose may have been to solve a crossword. A crossword is complete — and gives one joy — with only so many words, and only when each word rests on elements from the others. Couldn’t my words hold a duality (双重性) that completes my purpose too? And so, now I take up assignments, some that pay well, some that don’t, but together, and most importantly, they fill me with joy. After all, it is only our heartfelt passion that matters. 4. Why did the author mention his father in the article? A. To express the author’s love for his father. B. To emphasize his father’s influence on him. C. To introduce his father’s passion for the puzzles. D. To indicate his father’s supporting his career as a writer. 5. What does the underlined sentence “You were paid peanuts” mean in paragraph 4? A. You were paid in cash. B. You were paid lots of money. C. You were paid very little money. D. You were paid with valuable items. 6. What made the author feel hurt? A. The editor refused to publish his article. B. His article was published in print as proposed. C. His article was published online with a lower pay. D. The editor reduced the payment due to budget cuts. 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. Like father, like son. B. Follow your own path, and let others talk. C. What is done with passion is done well. D. Love what you do and do what you love. C New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted within us? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called a TQ, or technology quotient. Think of it like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parent it might be a home-school video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting. And for the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations. This adoption is critical from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the dynamics of AI and search are changing for just about everyone. Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in projecting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and assimilate technology will be a defining aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smart phones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to incorporate technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn — turning adaptability with tech into a measurable edge. 8. What is TQ according to the text? A. Ability to apply new technologies. B. Skill of fixing high-tech products. C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Speed of learning new languages. 9. Which of the following people has a high TQ? A. A manager who often uses modern search engines. B. A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance. C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices awkward. D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life. 10. What does the underlined word “assimilate” in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Rely on. B. Take in. C. Benefit from. D. Learn about. 11. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ? B. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era? C. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence? D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes? D Stanford assistant professor Ruike Zhao published a groundbreaking medical breakthrough in Nature: using a tiny 2 mm micro-robot, she increased the success rate of blood clot (血块) removal from a mere 11% to an amazing 90%, sending shockwaves through the medical world. In modern society, about one in every dozen people may experience a blood clot in their lifetime. It is widely known that blood clots are the leading cause of strokes and heart attacks. During treatment, the ability to quickly and effectively restore blood flow becomes a matter of life and death. Unfortunately, traditional mechanical methods have a low success rate. The process is like trying to pick up broken tofu with chopsticks — not only is success unlikely, but the situation may even worsen. Blood clots may break apart while being deformed, resulting in small pieces stuck in hard-to-reach areas. However, Professor Zhao’s 2 mm micro-robot enters blood vessels (血管) and, using high-speed rotation (旋转), generates forces to reduce the clot size to 5%. It’s like when you press and rub soft things, like hair, between your hands. The force makes them stick together into a small ball. The micro-robot works similarly, using pressure to bring the clot components together, making them easier to remove. This process requires no drugs, causes no vessel damage, and effectively releases trapped red blood cells back into blood. What’s astonishing is that this innovation is inspired from subway TBMs, tunnel-boring machines (盾构机). The way tunnel-boring machines efficiently handle hard soil and rock in narrow spaces inspired the creation. This brilliant Chinese researcher miniaturized the enormous underground machine to a size tens of thousands of times smaller and adapted it for use in human blood vessels. Currently, the technology has been successfully tested on pigs. While most of these studies remain in the laboratory phase, the breakthrough itself is exciting. This technology may soon extend beyond blood clots to address issues like kidney stones or gallstones. 12. How does the author present the breakthrough in paragraph 1? A. By explaining a technical term. B. By contrasting the statistics. C. By providing the study’s background. D. By citing an authority. 13. What is the advantage of Zhao’s micro-robot over traditional methods? A. It generates blood more rapidly. B. It prevents clots from forming again. C. It is recyclable and economical. D. It raises success rate and reduces side effects. 14. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning TBMs? A. The cost of medical robotics. B. The reason behind the numerous trials. C. The inspiration behind the innovation. D. The importance of modern machinery. 15. What is the last paragraph about? A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study. C. Necessity for tests on more animals. D. Potential application of the invention. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 This year, I received an exciting message from the Science Center: out of nearly 2,000 applicants, only 40 high school students were selected to take part in their famous summer program, and I was one of them! ____16____ For the two-week summer program, I chose to focus on a biology project. My research centered on investigating the presence and impact of bacteria (细菌) in different water sources — specifically comparing wild lake water with home pool water to determine which was more harmful. ____17____ Those are two fields I’m deeply passionate about. The laboratory work was challenging but extremely rewarding. I remember the first day I set out to collect water samples. The lake was peaceful, but beneath that calm surface hid something far less harmless. In contrast, the pool’s crystal-clear water seemed almost too clean, and I wondered how the tests would turn out. ____18____. The process involved culturing the bacteria, monitoring their growth and comparing the results from both sources. When the data finally came in, it was both shocking and enlightening. The pool water was surprisingly clean, with hardly any bacteria present. On the other hand, the lake water, despite its beautiful appearance, was full of bacteria — definitely not safe for drinking. ____19____ Once my experiments were complete, I poured all my energy into writing a detailed report. On the last day of the program, I had the opportunity to present my work to a group of 15 mentors (导师). ____20____ — I was not just a student; I was like a scientist sharing my discoveries with the world. A. Back in the lab, I analyzed the samples. B. Standing before them, explaining my project, I felt proud. C. I hope to undertake a biomedical project at the Science Center. D. My time at the Science Center has given me a clear sense of purpose. E. These results highlighted the hidden dangers that untreated water can pose. F. The moment I opened that letter, I knew this was going to be a life-changing experience. G. This topic interested me because it combined both environmental science and public health. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My six-year-old son, Callum, is on the autism spectrum (自闭症).

Slowing down, I opened the window and called out, “Need a ride?” I helped her into the passenger seat, and we were off. She directed me to go farther south. Suddenly, I realized we were on the “wrong side of town.” It was starting to get dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued down unfamiliar streets until she finally pointed to an old apartment building. The street was dirty and the air was smelly. Several young men gathered around the entrance. They appeared threatening. Some were on motorcycles, and one boy with bushy, long hair was staring at me intently (目不转睛地) — too intently — and smiling. I was getting more and more uncomfortable. I stopped the car. A couple of the guys helped with the groceries. The old lady thanked me, and I drove away as fast as I could. I was driving when I was interrupted by a motorcycle behind me. It was that boy who kept smiling at me with a strange look! In a panic, I slowed down, hoping he would pass me. But he continued to drive at the same speed as me. I realized he was waving for me to stop. No way was I going to stop for a stranger on an unfamiliar street. I tried to speed away, but it didn’t stop him. He raced after me again. Getting increasingly anxious, I reached down in the passenger seat to get my cell phone. I had to call 911. With my eyes on the road, one hand on the wheel and the other hand searching on the seat next to me, I found a phone. But it wasn’t mine. “Oh no, the lady took my phone by mistake!” Meanwhile, the guy on the bike stayed close to me. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I saw the boy waving something. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I felt guilty and wanted to reward the boy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
