An engineer shortlisted (入围) for a global prize by the Prince of Wales said his invention was created at his mother-in-law’s dining table.
Adam Root built filters (过滤器) that remove microplastics from the water that comes out of washing machines and industrial units, preventing them from reaching the ocean. “It’s one of the greatest challenges of our generation and people don’t really understand or know about it,” said Mr Root from Saffron Walden in Essex.
His company, Matter, could win £1 million at the Earthshot Prize on 5 November 2025, whose winners are honored for creative solutions to help the planet. Microplastics have been found everywhere on Earth, even in Antarctic ice and inside deep-ocean animals’ bodies. Mr Root said he began developing solutions after leaving his engineering job eight years ago.
Mr Root said creating his self-cleaning, reusable product, Regen, was challenging and took four years of work in a laboratory. “I was also working at my mother-in-law’s dining table for about nine months. I then upgraded to working out of a stable (马厩) for a little while in the countryside of Essex, and eventually made it ‘big time’ and got a unit on a turkey farm,” recalled Mr Root.
Supported by £250 from The Prince’s Trust (now The King’s Trust) and his wife — who gave up her job to help — his business started off building filters for household washing machines, but has since raised more than £15m for its work and has 45 workers, and adapted the filters for industrial use, dealing with millions of liters of water. The device is now used in textile (纺织品) factories worldwide.
Mr Root said his company is one of three competitors shortlisted in Earthshot’s “Revive Our Oceans” category (类别). Some of the finalists in other categories include countries and cities.
“It was a little bit strange. There’s the country of Barbados, a city in China... and here’s Adam,” Mr Root said.
4. What is the purpose of Root’s invention?
A. To improve washing machines.
B. To recycle water in textile factories.
C. To stop microplastics entering the ocean.
D. To provide clean drinking water for people.
5. What difficulty did Root have when he developed his product?
A. He was short of startup funds. B. He lacked professional guidance.
C. He didn’t get his family’s support. D. He didn’t have a suitable workplace.
6. What can we learn about Matter from paragraph 5?
A. It has shown great potential for growth.
B. It will be managed by The King’s Trust.
C. It has inspired Root to start another business.
D. It is struggling to compete with big companies.
7. Which of the following can best describe Root?
A. Generous and honest. B. Confident and friendly.
C. Humorous and independent. D. Hardworking and determined.

As China’s largest grain-producing province, Heilongjiang will further strengthen its position as China’s “granary” (粮仓) from 2026 to 2030 by increasing grain yield (产量), protecting black soil and advancing agricultural modernization, Governor Liang Huiling said on Thursday.
Heilongjiang has led the country in grain production for 16 years in a row. Its grain yield in 2025 was more than 82 million tons, taking up about one-ninth of the national total. Home to the world’s largest black soil belt, it ranks first in the planting area and yield of rice, corn and soybeans. The province protects black soil by building high-standard farmland and repairing damaged fields, and will improve the quality of over 90 percent of its permanent basic farmland in the new period.
Liang stressed that technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI), is central to agricultural modernization. “We seek efficiency, yield and quality through technology,” she said. The province will adopt AI more widely in farming, build large-scale smart farms, and use intelligent machinery such as smart farm robots and unmanned rice planting machines. It also plans to raise grain production by 10 million tons through better farmland, quality seeds, advanced machinery, modern technologies and supportive policies.
The modernization push is already visible in the farms of Beidahuang Group. At Qixing Farm, farmer Qin Yuqiu recently used wide-narrow row planting machines to complete rice transplanting across his 23 hectares. Guided by the Beidou system, these machines automatically follow planned routes exactly, adjusting the space between rows to let in more fresh air and sunlight and help crops grow. The group now operates 19,000 units of unmanned and assisted farm machines. “We are confident that grain yield per unit area will increase by more than 0.5 percent this year,” said a farm manager.
8. How is black soil in Heilongjiang protected?
A. Cut grain yield and protect better soil. B. Build good farmland and repair soil.
C. Replace black soil with foreign soil. D. Reduce rice planting for soil nutrients.
9. Which is the best summary for Paragraph 3?
A. AI’s history of farming. B. Global farm cooperation.
C. AI problems of farming. D. Tech-assisted farming plan.
10. What can we infer about Beidou-guided machines?
A. They shorten farmers’ working hours. B. They help raise farming quality.
C. They are only used for rice planting. D. They are the key to China’s grain growth.
11. What does “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Heilongjiang B. soil belt C. total output D. planting area
D
Modern electronics power everything from smartphones to satellites, but they all share a major limitation. Heat. Once temperatures climb above roughly 200 degrees Celsius, most devices begin to break down.
Researchers now believe they have found a way past that limit. A team led by Joshua Yang and Arthur Freeman at the University of Southern California developed a new type of memory device that continues to operate at 700 degrees Celsius. The new device, known as a memristor, can both store data and perform computations. It is constructed with two electrodes (电极) on either side and a thin ceramic layer in between. The researchers built the device using tungsten (钨) for the top electrode, ceramic in the middle, and graphene (石墨烯) for the bottom layer. This combination produced remarkable performance. It maintained data for more than 50 hours at 700 degrees without needing to be refreshed.
The discovery was not part of the team’s original plan. They were initially attempting to create a different graphene-based device, which did not work as intended. Along the way, they encountered something surprising. Tungsten atoms that approach the graphene surface cannot attach to it. Without a stable point to settle, they go away. This prevents short circuits and preserves the device’s function even under extreme heat.
Electronics capable of operating above 500 degrees Celsius have long been a goal for space exploration. Venus, for example, has a surface temperature around that level, and every lander sent there has failed in part due to extreme heat. Current silicon-based chips cannot survive such conditions. In addition to storing data, the device offers a major advantage for artificial intelligence. Traditional computers perform these calculations step by step, consuming large amounts of energy. The new device performs calculations directly as electricity flows through it.
Despite the promising results, Yang emphasizes that practical applications are still some distance away. Memory is only one part of a complete computing system. Besides, the current devices were built in a laboratory setting, so mass production will take time.
12. What contributed to the remarkable performance of the new device?
A. Its storage. B. Its institution.
C. Its structure. D. Its computing ability.
13. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A. Scientific discoveries may result from unexpected findings.
B. Research breakthroughs often follow careful planning.
C. Scientists usually achieve their original goals.
D. New advances can be accurately predicted.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The advantages of artificial intelligence. B. The potential uses of the new device.
C. The challenges of space exploration. D. The limits of silicon-based chips.
15. What is Joshua Yang’s attitude towards the adoption of research outcomes?
A. Appreciative. B. Objective. C. Dissatisfied. D. Unclear.
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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The whole world changes around them: actors, singers, models. athletes and TV personalities. If I go through Instagram, Snapchat or any social media news feed (新闻推送). I get too familiar with their lives.
______16______What I can’t see is what their big contribution to the world is other than entertainment.
By idolizing (崇拜) the entertainment industry so much, we sometimes completely forget about the things that are truly important and that are changing our world.
Imagine if the money that every Hollywood actor and director makes went into medical research and pharmaceuticals. It would be so much easier for scientists to diagnose (诊断) diseases and unknown viruses. So if it would benefit the world so much to invest all of our time and attention toward scientists, why don’t we do it?______17______
First of all, we like being entertained. Most people might not praise scientists because it’s not something entertainment. People will care more about Brad Pitt’s upcoming new movie, rather than NASA’s most current space exploration that might change the way we live our lives.______18______It’s because we simply like being entertained. It’s easier to care about simple things rather than scientific, complicated ones.
Another reason is that most scientists don’t like being in the spotlight. There are studies that have identified the personality features of people most likely to become scientists.______19______Even if we gave them that much attention, they wouldn’t be so excited to be followed by paparazzi (狗仔) all day or get invited to events every weekend. They’re busy people, which explains why they haven’t attracted the media the same way that performers have.
Therefore, it’s very unlikely that scientists will ever become the “celebrities (名人)” of modern days. Even in the middle of a pandemic (疫情) science is still not as popular as entertainment.______20______Studies have shown that young people are more interested in a scientific career as a result of COVID-19. Maybe that’s the start of the development of a different point of view against science for future generations.
A. That’s not because we’re careless human beings.
B. They’re mostly reserved, quiet and like to have privacy.
C. Scientists seem to be selfless, hard-working and devoted people
D. I have nothing against the entertainment industry and celebrities.
E. However, interest in science has definitely risen since the pandemic began.
F. It seems as if entertainment has become the most important thing that the world cares about.
G. Why don’t we make scientists our new “celebrities,” if they are the ones that deserve it the most?

It was a cool fall morning, and the sun was just starting to rise, casting a warm light to the quit neighborhood. For Alex, the high school junior with a deep passion for science, was filled with both excitement and nervousness. Today marked the final presentation of his science project, which he had been working on for months. The topic was renewable energy, and Alex had built a model of a solar-powered car. He hoped it would help him win the regional science fair.
Alex checked his bag one last time: notes, sides, and the model car. Just as he was about to leave, his younger brother Ax came into the room with big, sorry-looking eyes. In his hand, he held a broken piece of the car's solar panel. “I'm really sorry, Alex!” Ax said in a very quiet voice, his head down because he felt guilty. “I was just so curious. I wanted to see how it worked, and I didn't mean to break it.”
Alex's eyes opened wide in shock, and his heart felt like it dropped to the bottom of his stomach. The presentation was in a few hours, and there wasn't time to fix it. He thought about explaining what happened, but he was worried it would sound like an excuse and make him less likely to win. He could put a battery in the car and act like nothing was wrong. But when he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable. He was proud of being honest, and the idea of cheating, even a little bit, made him feel sick.
As he walked to school, his steps were slow and heavy. He thought about all the late-night hours he spent working at his work bench, how frustrated he was when the circuits didn't work, and how happy he was when the car finally moved using solar power. His dreams of winning the competition and being recognized for his hard work seemed to be going away. But then he remembered the talks at the dinner table a long time ago, when his parents told him how important it was to be honest, responsible, and keep trying. Their words kept playing in his mind. By the time he got to the school gates, a determined look was on his face. He knew exactly what he had to do.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;

The researchers built the device using tungsten (钨) for the top electrode, ceramic in the middle, and graphene (石墨烯) for the bottom layer. This combination produced remarkable performance. It maintained data for more than 50 hours at 700 degrees without needing to be refreshed.
The discovery was not part of the team’s original plan. They were initially attempting to create a different graphene-based device, which did not work as intended. Along the way, they encountered something surprising. Tungsten atoms that approach the graphene surface cannot attach to it. Without a stable point to settle, they go away. This prevents short circuits and preserves the device’s function even under extreme heat.
Electronics capable of operating above 500 degrees Celsius have long been a goal for space exploration. Venus, for example, has a surface temperature around that level, and every lander sent there has failed in part due to extreme heat. Current silicon-based chips cannot survive such conditions. In addition to storing data, the device offers a major advantage for artificial intelligence. Traditional computers perform these calculations step by step, consuming large amounts of energy. The new device performs calculations directly as electricity flows through it.
Despite the promising results, Yang emphasizes that practical applications are still some distance away. Memory is only one part of a complete computing system. Besides, the current devices were built in a laboratory setting, so mass production will take time.
12. What contributed to the remarkable performance of the new device?
A. Its storage. B. Its institution.
C. Its structure. D. Its computing ability.
13. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A. Scientific discoveries may result from unexpected findings.
B. Research breakthroughs often follow careful planning.
C. Scientists usually achieve their original goals.
D. New advances can be accurately predicted.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The advantages of artificial intelligence. B. The potential uses of the new device.
C. The challenges of space exploration. D. The limits of silicon-based chips.
15. What is Joshua Yang’s attitude towards the adoption of research outcomes?
A. Appreciative. B. Objective. C. Dissatisfied. D. Unclear.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The whole world changes around them: actors, singers, models. athletes and TV personalities. If I go through Instagram, Snapchat or any social media news feed (新闻推送). I get too familiar with their lives.
______16______What I can’t see is what their big contribution to the world is other than entertainment.
By idolizing (崇拜) the entertainment industry so much, we sometimes completely forget about the things that are truly important and that are changing our world.
Imagine if the money that every Hollywood actor and director makes went into medical research and pharmaceuticals. It would be so much easier for scientists to diagnose (诊断) diseases and unknown viruses. So if it would benefit the world so much to invest all of our time and attention toward scientists, why don’t we do it?______17______
First of all, we like being entertained. Most people might not praise scientists because it’s not something entertainment. People will care more about Brad Pitt’s upcoming new movie, rather than NASA’s most current space exploration that might change the way we live our lives.______18______It’s because we simply like being entertained. It’s easier to care about simple things rather than scientific, complicated ones.
Another reason is that most scientists don’t like being in the spotlight. There are studies that have identified the personality features of people most likely to become scientists.______19______Even if we gave them that much attention, they wouldn’t be so excited to be followed by paparazzi (狗仔) all day or get invited to events every weekend. They’re busy people, which explains why they haven’t attracted the media the same way that performers have.
Therefore, it’s very unlikely that scientists will ever become the “celebrities (名人)” of modern days. Even in the middle of a pandemic (疫情) science is still not as popular as entertainment.______20______Studies have shown that young people are more interested in a scientific career as a result of COVID-19. Maybe that’s the start of the development of a different point of view against science for future generations.
A. That’s not because we’re careless human beings.
B. They’re mostly reserved, quiet and like to have privacy.
C. Scientists seem to be selfless, hard-working and devoted people
D. I have nothing against the entertainment industry and celebrities.
E. However, interest in science has definitely risen since the pandemic began.
F. It seems as if entertainment has become the most important thing that the world cares about.
G. Why don’t we make scientists our new “celebrities,” if they are the ones that deserve it the most?

It was a cool fall morning, and the sun was just starting to rise, casting a warm light to the quit neighborhood. For Alex, the high school junior with a deep passion for science, was filled with both excitement and nervousness. Today marked the final presentation of his science project, which he had been working on for months. The topic was renewable energy, and Alex had built a model of a solar-powered car. He hoped it would help him win the regional science fair.
Alex checked his bag one last time: notes, sides, and the model car. Just as he was about to leave, his younger brother Ax came into the room with big, sorry-looking eyes. In his hand, he held a broken piece of the car's solar panel. “I'm really sorry, Alex!” Ax said in a very quiet voice, his head down because he felt guilty. “I was just so curious. I wanted to see how it worked, and I didn't mean to break it.”
Alex's eyes opened wide in shock, and his heart felt like it dropped to the bottom of his stomach. The presentation was in a few hours, and there wasn't time to fix it. He thought about explaining what happened, but he was worried it would sound like an excuse and make him less likely to win. He could put a battery in the car and act like nothing was wrong. But when he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable. He was proud of being honest, and the idea of cheating, even a little bit, made him feel sick.
As he walked to school, his steps were slow and heavy. He thought about all the late-night hours he spent working at his work bench, how frustrated he was when the circuits didn't work, and how happy he was when the car finally moved using solar power. His dreams of winning the competition and being recognized for his hard work seemed to be going away. But then he remembered the talks at the dinner table a long time ago, when his parents told him how important it was to be honest, responsible, and keep trying. Their words kept playing in his mind. By the time he got to the school gates, a determined look was on his face. He knew exactly what he had to do.

Alex stood in front of the class and judges, feeling nervous. He took a deep breath and began his presentation. “Today, I'd like to talk about my project on a solar-powered car. However, before coming here, an accident happened. My little brother broke a part of the solar panel. I was so shocked and disappointed at first. But then I realized that honesty is more important than winning. So, what you see now is a damaged model. But the knowledge and effort behind it are real.” He then went on to explain the theory and his process of building the car. The audience listened attentively, some nodding in understanding.
Later that day, Alex received an email from the science fair organization. His heart raced as he opened it. To his surprise, he had won an honorary mention. The email praised his honesty and his in-depth understanding of the project. It said that although his model was damaged, his integrity and the quality of his work impressed the judges. Alex felt a rush of joy and relief. He knew that his decision to be honest was the right one. This experience not only taught him the value of honesty but also made him more determined to pursue his love for science.

An engineer shortlisted (入围) for a global prize by the Prince of Wales said his invention was created at his mother-in-law’s dining table.
Adam Root built filters (过滤器) that remove microplastics from the water that comes out of washing machines and industrial units, preventing them from reaching the ocean. “It’s one of the greatest challenges of our generation and people don’t really understand or know about it,” said Mr Root from Saffron Walden in Essex.
His company, Matter, could win £1 million at the Earthshot Prize on 5 November 2025, whose winners are honored for creative solutions to help the planet. Microplastics have been found everywhere on Earth, even in Antarctic ice and inside deep-ocean animals’ bodies. Mr Root said he began developing solutions after leaving his engineering job eight years ago.
Mr Root said creating his self-cleaning, reusable product, Regen, was challenging and took four years of work in a laboratory. “I was also working at my mother-in-law’s dining table for about nine months. I then upgraded to working out of a stable (马厩) for a little while in the countryside of Essex, and eventually made it ‘big time’ and got a unit on a turkey farm,” recalled Mr Root.
Supported by £250 from The Prince’s Trust (now The King’s Trust) and his wife — who gave up her job to help — his business started off building filters for household washing machines, but has since raised more than £15m for its work and has 45 workers, and adapted the filters for industrial use, dealing with millions of liters of water. The device is now used in textile (纺织品) factories worldwide.
Mr Root said his company is one of three competitors shortlisted in Earthshot’s “Revive Our Oceans” category (类别). Some of the finalists in other categories include countries and cities.
“It was a little bit strange. There’s the country of Barbados, a city in China... and here’s Adam,” Mr Root said.
4. What is the purpose of Root’s invention?
A. To improve washing machines.
B. To recycle water in textile factories.
C. To stop microplastics entering the ocean.
D. To provide clean drinking water for people.
5. What difficulty did Root have when he developed his product?
A. He was short of startup funds. B. He lacked professional guidance.
C. He didn’t get his family’s support. D. He didn’t have a suitable workplace.
6. What can we learn about Matter from paragraph 5?
A. It has shown great potential for growth.
B. It will be managed by The King’s Trust.
C. It has inspired Root to start another business.
D. It is struggling to compete with big companies.
7. Which of the following can best describe Root?
A. Generous and honest. B. Confident and friendly.
C. Humorous and independent. D. Hardworking and determined.
【答案】4.C 5.D 6.A 7.D
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章围绕工程师Adam Root的微塑料过滤发明展开,作答时应结合篇章结构和文本证据。
【解析】
4.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Adam Root built filters (过滤器) that remove microplastics from the water that comes out of washing machines and industrial units, preventing them from reaching the ocean. (亚当·鲁特研发的过滤器可以去除洗衣机和工业设备废水中的微塑料,防止它们进入海洋。)”可知,这项发明的目的是阻止微塑料进入海洋。故选C项。
5.细节理解题。根据第四段中的““I was also working at my mother-in-law’s dining table for about nine months. I then upgraded to working out of a stable (马厩) for a little while in the countryside of Essex, and eventually made it ‘big time’ and got a unit on a turkey farm,” recalled Mr Root. (鲁特先生回忆道:“我也曾在岳母家的餐桌上工作了大约九个月。后来我升级了,在埃塞克斯郡乡下的一个马厩里工作了一段时间,最后终于‘大获成功’,在一个火鸡农场里弄到了一间工作室。”)”可知,他研发产品时没有合适的工作场所。故选D项。
6.推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Supported by £250 from The Prince’s Trust (now The King’s Trust) and his wife — who gave up her job to help — his business started off building filters for household washing machines, but has since raised more than £15m for its work and has 45 workers, and adapted the filters for industrial use, dealing with millions of liters of water. The device is now used in textile (纺织品) factories worldwide. (在王子信托基金(现为国王信托基金)资助的250英镑以及辞去工作前来相助的妻子的支持下,他的公司最初生产家用洗衣机过滤器,此后已为项目筹集超1500万英镑,拥有45名员工,并将过滤器改造用于工业领域,处理数百万升水。如今该设备已应用于全球各地的纺织厂。)”可知,Matter公司展现出了巨大的发展潜力。故选A项。
7.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第四段中的“creating his self-cleaning, reusable product, Regen, was challenging and took four years of work in a laboratory.(研发这款可自清洁、可重复使用的产品Regen极具挑战性,他在实验室花费了四年时间)”以及在餐桌、马厩坚持研发的经历可知,鲁特为了研发产品长期坚持、不畏艰苦,体现出他勤奋且意志坚定。故选D项。
C
As China’s largest grain-producing province, Heilongjiang will further strengthen its position as China’s “granary” (粮仓) from 2026 to 2030 by increasing grain yield (产量), protecting black soil and advancing agricultural modernization, Governor Liang Huiling said on Thursday.
Heilongjiang has led the country in grain production for 16 years in a row. Its grain yield in 2025 was more than 82 million tons, taking up about one-ninth of the national total. Home to the world’s largest black soil belt, it ranks first in the planting area and yield of rice, corn and soybeans. The province protects black soil by building high-standard farmland and repairing damaged fields, and will improve the quality of over 90 percent of its permanent basic farmland in the new period.
Liang stressed that technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI), is central to agricultural modernization. “We seek efficiency, yield and quality through technology,” she said. The province will adopt AI more widely in farming, build large-scale smart farms, and use intelligent machinery such as smart farm robots and unmanned rice planting machines. It also plans to raise grain production by 10 million tons through better farmland, quality seeds, advanced machinery, modern technologies and supportive policies.
The modernization push is already visible in the farms of Beidahuang Group. At Qixing Farm, farmer Qin Yuqiu recently used wide-narrow row planting machines to complete rice transplanting across his 23 hectares. Guided by the Beidou system, these machines automatically follow planned routes exactly, adjusting the space between rows to let in more fresh air and sunlight and help crops grow. The group now operates 19,000 units of unmanned and assisted farm machines. “We are confident that grain yield per unit area will increase by more than 0.5 percent this year,” said a farm manager.
8. How is black soil in Heilongjiang protected?
A. Cut grain yield and protect better soil. B. Build good farmland and repair soil.
C. Replace black soil with foreign soil. D. Reduce rice planting for soil nutrients.
9. Which is the best summary for Paragraph 3?
A. AI’s history of farming. B. Global farm cooperation.
C. AI problems of farming. D. Tech-assisted farming plan.
10. What can we infer about Beidou-guided machines?
A. They shorten farmers’ working hours. B. They help raise farming quality.
C. They are only used for rice planting. D. They are the key to China’s grain growth.
11. What does “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Heilongjiang B. soil belt C. total output D. planting area
【答案】8.B 9.D 10.B 11.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕黑龙江粮食生产与农业现代化展开,作答时应结合篇章结构和文本证据。
【解析】
8.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The province protects black soil by building high-standard farmland and repairing damaged fields, and will improve the quality of over 90 percent of its permanent basic farmland in the new period.(该省通过建设高标准农田、修复受损耕地保护黑土地,并将在新阶段完成九成以上永久基本农田的质量提升工作。)”可知,黑龙江省通过建设高标准农田和修复受损田地来保护黑土地。
9.主旨大意题。第三段中的“Liang stressed that technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI), is central to agricultural modernization.(梁强调,科技尤其是人工智能是农业现代化的核心。)”以及“The province will adopt AI more widely in farming, build large-scale smart farms, and use intelligent machinery such as smart farm robots and unmanned rice planting machines.(该省将在农业生产中更广泛应用人工智能,建设规模化智慧农场,并投入使用智能农机设备,包括智能农田机器人、无人插秧机等。)”可知,本段主要介绍了黑龙江省以科技助力农业现代化的规划。

Modern electronics power everything from smartphones to satellites, but they all share a major limitation. Heat. Once temperatures climb above roughly 200 degrees Celsius, most devices begin to break down.
Researchers now believe they have found a way past that limit. A team led by Joshua Yang and Arthur Freeman at the University of Southern California developed a new type of memory device that continues to operate at 700 degrees Celsius. The new device, known as a memristor, can both store data and perform computations. It is constructed with two electrodes (电极) on either side and a thin ceramic layer in between. The researchers built the device using tungsten (钨) for the top electrode, ceramic in the middle, and graphene (石墨烯) for the bottom layer. This combination produced remarkable performance. It maintained data for more than 50 hours at 700 degrees without needing to be refreshed.
The discovery was not part of the team’s original plan. They were initially attempting to create a different graphene-based device, which did not work as intended. Along the way, they encountered something surprising. Tungsten atoms that approach the graphene surface cannot attach to it. Without a stable point to settle, they go away. This prevents short circuits and preserves the device’s function even under extreme heat.
Electronics capable of operating above 500 degrees Celsius have long been a goal for space exploration. Venus, for example, has a surface temperature around that level, and every lander sent there has failed in part due to extreme heat. Current silicon-based chips cannot survive such conditions. In addition to storing data, the device offers a major advantage for artificial intelligence. Traditional computers perform these calculations step by step, consuming large amounts of energy. The new device performs calculations directly as electricity flows through it.
Despite the promising results, Yang emphasizes that practical applications are still some distance away. Memory is only one part of a complete computing system. Besides, the current devices were built in a laboratory setting, so mass production will take time.
12. What contributed to the remarkable performance of the new device?
A. Its storage. B. Its institution.
C. Its structure. D. Its computing ability.
13. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A. Scientific discoveries may result from unexpected findings.
B. Research breakthroughs often follow careful planning.
C. Scientists usually achieve their original goals.
D. New advances can be accurately predicted.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The advantages of artificial intelligence. B. The potential uses of the new device.
C. The challenges of space exploration. D. The limits of silicon-based chips.
15. What is Joshua Yang’s attitude towards the adoption of research outcomes?
A. Appreciative. B. Objective. C. Dissatisfied. D. Unclear.
【答案】12.C 13.A 14.B 15.B
【导语】本文是一篇research。文章围绕耐高温忆阻器的实验研究与应用展开,作答时应结合篇章结构和文本证据。
【解析】
12.细节理解题。根据第二段中“The researchers built the device using tungsten (钨) for the top electrode, ceramic in the middle, and graphene (石墨烯) for the bottom layer. This combination produced remarkable performance.(研究人员采用钨作为顶部电极、陶瓷作为中间层、石墨烯作为底层来制造该器件,这种组合实现了卓越的性能)”可知,新设备出色表现的原因是其结构。
13.推理判断题。根据第三段中“The discovery was not part of the team’s original plan. They were initially attempting to create a different graphene-based device, which did not work as intended. Along the way, they encountered something surprising.(这一发现并非团队最初计划的一部分。他们原本试图研制一种不同的石墨烯器件,但未能如预期般成功。在此过程中,他们遇到了一个令人意外的情况)”可知,科学发现可能源于意外的发现。
14.主旨大意题。根据第四段“Electronics capable of operating above 500 degrees Celsius have long been a goal for space exploration. Venus, for example, has a surface temperature around that level, and every lander sent there has failed in part due to extreme heat. Current silicon-based chips cannot survive such conditions. In addition to storing data, the device offers a major advantage for artificial intelligence. Traditional computers perform these calculations step by step, consuming large amounts of energy. The new device performs calculations directly as electricity flows through it.(能够在500摄氏度以上运行的电子设备长期以来一直是太空探索的目标。例如,金星表面温度就接近这一水平,而所有被送往金星的着陆器都出现了故障,极端高温是故障的部分诱因。目前基于硅的芯片无法承受这样的环境。除了存储数据外,这种装置在人工智能方面还具有重大优势。传统计算机需要逐步进行计算,消耗大量能量。而新型器件则能在电流通过时直接完成计算)”可知,第四段主要讲了新设备的潜在用途。
15.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite the promising results, Yang emphasizes that practical applications are still some distance away. Memory is only one part of a complete computing system. Besides, the current devices were built in a laboratory setting, so mass production will take time.(尽管取得了令人鼓舞的成果,杨强调实际应用仍需时日。存储器只是完整计算系统的一部分。此外,目前的设备是在实验室环境下制造的,因此大规模生产还需要时间)”可知,约书亚·杨对研究成果的采纳持客观态度。
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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The whole world changes around them: actors, singers, models. athletes and TV personalities. If I go through Instagram, Snapchat or any social media news feed (新闻推送). I get too familiar with their lives.
____16____What I can’t see is what their big contribution to the world is other than entertainment.
By idolizing (崇拜) the entertainment industry so much, we sometimes completely forget about the things that are truly important and that are changing our world.
Imagine if the money that every Hollywood actor and director makes went into medical research and pharmaceuticals. It would be so much easier for scientists to diagnose (诊断) diseases and unknown viruses. So if it would benefit the world so much to invest all of our time and attention toward scientists, why don’t we do it?____17____
First of all, we like being entertained. Most people might not praise scientists because it’s not something entertainment. People will care more about Brad Pitt’s upcoming new movie, rather than NASA’s most current space exploration that might change the way we live our lives.____18____It’s because we simply like being entertained. It’s easier to care about simple things rather than scientific, complicated ones.
Another reason is that most scientists don’t like being in the spotlight. There are studies that have identified the personality features of people most likely to become scientists.____19____Even if we gave them that much attention, they wouldn’t be so excited to be followed by paparazzi (狗仔) all day or get invited to events every weekend. They’re busy people, which explains why they haven’t attracted the media the same way that performers have.
Therefore, it’s very unlikely that scientists will ever become the “celebrities (名人)” of modern days. Even in the middle of a pandemic (疫情) science is still not as popular as entertainment.____20____Studies have shown that young people are more interested in a scientific career as a result of COVID-19. Maybe that’s the start of the development of a different point of view against science for future generations.
A. That’s not because we’re careless human beings.
B. They’re mostly reserved, quiet and like to have privacy.
C. Scientists seem to be selfless, hard-working and devoted people
D. I have nothing against the entertainment industry and celebrities.
E. However, interest in science has definitely risen since the pandemic began.
F. It seems as if entertainment has become the most important thing that the world cares about.
G. Why don’t we make scientists our new “celebrities,” if they are the ones that deserve it the most?
【答案】16.D 17.G 18.A 19.B 20.E
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕科学家的社会价值与公众关注展开,设空主要考查段落结构、逻辑衔接和指代关系。
【解析】
16.前文“The whole world changes around them: actors singers, models. athletes and TV personalities. If I go through Instagram, Snapchat or any social media news feed (新闻推送) . I get too familiar with their lives.(整个世界都在他们身边发生着变化:演员、歌手、模特、运动员和电视节目主持人。如果我浏览一下 Instagram、Snapchat 或任何社交媒体的新闻推送,我会对他们的生活变得非常熟悉。)”说社交媒体满是明星名流的生活,后文“What I can’t see is what their big contribution to the world is other than entertainment.(但我看不到的是,除了娱乐之外,他们对世界做出的真正重大贡献是什么。)”转折说 “除了娱乐,看不到他们对世界的重大贡献”。空格需承上启下,先表明对娱乐行业和名人无抵触,再引出对其价值的思考,D项“I have nothing against the entertainment industry and celebrities.(我并不反对娱乐行业和名人。)”完美衔接,消除语气的突兀感。故选D项。
17.前文“So if it would benefit the world so much to invest all of our time and attention toward scientists, why don’t we do it?(所以,如果把我们所有的精力和注意力都投入到科学家身上会如此有益于世界,我们为什么不这样做呢?)”提出把娱乐行业的资源投入科研会让世界受益,并用反问“为何不这么做”引发思考,空格需承接这一反问,进一步深化核心问题 —— 为何不把科学家当作新的“名人”。G项“Why don’t we make scientists our new “celebrities,” if they are the ones that deserve it the most?(如果科学家是最值得的人,我们为何不把他们当作新的名人?)”与前文反问句式呼应,紧扣“重视科学家”的核心,引出后文原因分析。故选G项。
18.前文“People will care more about Brad Pitt’s upcoming new movie, rather than NASA’s most current space exploration that might change the way we live our lives.(人们会更关注布拉德·皮特即将上映的新电影,而非美国国家航空航天局当前正在进行的可能改变我们生活方式的太空探索项目。)”说人们更关注明星而非科学家的科研成就,后文“It’s because we simply like being entertained.(这是因为我们就是喜欢被娱乐。)”直接给出原因“因为我们只是喜欢娱乐”。空格需衔接这一逻辑,先否定“人们粗心”的可能性,再引出真实原因。A项“That’s not because we’re careless human beings.(这并不是因为我们是粗心大意的人。)”用否定句式过渡,与后文的It’s because... 形成经典的“否定错误原因 + 给出真实原因”的逻辑链。故选A项。
19.本段主旨是“Another reason is that most scientists don’t like being in the spotlight.(另一个原因是,大多数科学家都不喜欢成为公众关注的焦点。)”说科学家不喜成为焦点,前文“There are studies that have identified the personality features of people most likely to become scientists.(有研究已经确定了最有可能成为科学家的人的个性特征。)”说研究发现了科学家的性格特征,空格需具体说明该性格特征。B 项“They’re mostly reserved, quiet and like to have privacy.( 他们大多内敛、安静,且注重隐私。)”直接描述科学家的性格,解释了为何他们不愿被聚光灯关注,与后文“不喜被狗仔跟随、参加活动”的内容高度契合。故选B项。
20.前文“Even in the middle of a pandemic (疫情) science is still not as popular as entertainment.(即使在疫情期间,科学也还没有像娱乐那样受欢迎。)”说“即便疫情期间,科学仍不如娱乐受欢迎”,后文“Studies have shown that young people are more interested in a scientific career as a result of COVID-19.(研究表明,由于新冠疫情,年轻人对科学职业更感兴趣了。)”转折说“疫情让年轻人对科研职业更感兴趣,或成观念转变的开端”。空格需承上启下,先指出疫情后人们对科学的兴趣确实有所提升,再衔接后文的具体表现。E项“However, interest in science has definitely risen since the pandemic began.(然而,自疫情开始后,人们对科学的兴趣无疑有所上升。)”用However转折,既呼应前文的 “科学不受欢迎”,又引出后文的积极变化。故选E项。

It was a cool fall morning, and the sun was just starting to rise, casting a warm light to the quit neighborhood. For Alex, the high school junior with a deep passion for science, was filled with both excitement and nervousness. Today marked the final presentation of his science project, which he had been working on for months. The topic was renewable energy, and Alex had built a model of a solar-powered car. He hoped it would help him win the regional science fair.
Alex checked his bag one last time: notes, sides, and the model car. Just as he was about to leave, his younger brother Ax came into the room with big, sorry-looking eyes. In his hand, he held a broken piece of the car's solar panel. “I'm really sorry, Alex!” Ax said in a very quiet voice, his head down because he felt guilty. “I was just so curious. I wanted to see how it worked, and I didn't mean to break it.”
Alex's eyes opened wide in shock, and his heart felt like it dropped to the bottom of his stomach. The presentation was in a few hours, and there wasn't time to fix it. He thought about explaining what happened, but he was worried it would sound like an excuse and make him less likely to win. He could put a battery in the car and act like nothing was wrong. But when he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable. He was proud of being honest, and the idea of cheating, even a little bit, made him feel sick.
As he walked to school, his steps were slow and heavy. He thought about all the late-night hours he spent working at his work bench, how frustrated he was when the circuits didn't work, and how happy he was when the car finally moved using solar power. His dreams of winning the competition and being recognized for his hard work seemed to be going away. But then he remembered the talks at the dinner table a long time ago, when his parents told him how important it was to be honest, responsible, and keep trying. Their words kept playing in his mind. By the time he got to the school gates, a determined look was on his face. He knew exactly what he had to do.

【详解】
Alex stood in front of the class and judges, feeling nervous. He took a deep breath and began his presentation. “Today, I'd like to talk about my project on a solar-powered car. However, before coming here, an accident happened. My little brother broke a part of the solar panel. I was so shocked and disappointed at first. But then I realized that honesty is more important than winning. So, what you see now is a damaged model. But the knowledge and effort behind it are real.” He then went on to explain the theory and his process of building the car. The audience listened attentively, some nodding in understanding.
Later that day, Alex received an email from the science fair organization. His heart raced as he opened it. To his surprise, he had won an honorary mention. The email praised his honesty and his in-depth understanding of the project. It said that although his model was damaged, his integrity and the quality of his work impressed the judges. Alex felt a rush of joy and relief. He knew that his decision to be honest was the right one. This experience not only taught him the value of honesty but also made him more determined to pursue his love for science.
