Priced between $2,000 and $20,000, these devices are unaffordable for most students, and they often have mechanical failures because of their complex and costly components. Rather than accept this reality, Mehta decided to try and make his own version, and after a lot of research and testing a few models, he succeeded. Since that day in India, Mehta began moving towards his goal by working with teachers and students at the Blind Relief Association in New Delhi. There, he was able to build a model and test it with the students. “I was deeply moved when the first student, Himanshu, placed his finger on the braille cell during a test trial and accurately identified the characters I had input. Seeing that brought literal tears to my eyes, as the breakthrough highlighted the impact and value of my project and inspired me to go further,” said Mehta. Having always been passionate about engineering, the young inventor found the hardware aspects of the project manageable. However, programming the device to transform input text into braille was something he had to teach himself. Ultimately, Mehta overcame this challenge by developing his skills and understanding of programming. The device simulates braille letter patterns by using a set of six rotating (旋转的) motors that gently press against the user’s fingers. These motors are connected to an Arduino, an open-source electronics platform known for its user-friendly hardware and programmable software. Letter information is then input into the device, translated to braille and sent to the motors. Users can read the braille output with 86% accuracy by resting their fingers just above the motor output. Mehta achieved his goal of creating a device that costs only about $20 to make and could be sold for around $35. He is currently working with two schools to refine the design of the machine for production. 24．(2.5分)Why did Yash Mehta want to create a new version of braille readers? A．He had a real passion for researching and making new things. B．He hoped to make more profits from selling brand-new products. C．The components of the braille readers available were hard to produce. D．The braille readers available were too expensive and often broke down. 25．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Character input. B．The test trial. C．Himanshu’s success. D．The braille cell. 26．(2.5分)What difficulty did Yash Mehta come across in his project? A．Transforming braille text. B．Managing the hardware parts. C．Learning programming skills. D．Understanding braille systems. 27．(2.5分)What is Paragraph 4 of the text mainly about? A．The design of the braille motors. B．The working principle of the device. C．The approach to building the device. D．The function of the Arduino platform. （本题10分）Parkinson’s disease (帕金森病) often causes “freezing”, which means a person suddenly cannot move their feet forward, leading to a high risk of falls. Amey Desai, a 30-year-old electrical engineer, was inspired to create a device to help people with walking difficulties after his grandfather suffered from Parkinson’s disease. His studies in engineering helped him to develop a special wearable device called “WALK”. Developing WALK took several years until he worked closely with Dr. Samit Chakrabarty, whose research is related to movement control through signals created by the muscles. This experience proved to be a turning point. After their first model was built, he worked with many medical experts and doctors to test it. They followed strict medical safety standards and got the necessary papers. To their excitement, the result at a major hospital showed that using WALK reduced freezing by nearly half during tests. WALK is a small wearable device which can be tied to the lower legs. It uses sensors (传感器) to monitor walking patterns. When it senses signs of freezing, it produces gentle vibrations (振动) and mild electrical shock. These act as signs to help the wearer start moving again. The device also comes with a smartphone app that lets users track their progress and do guided exercises. Doctors can also check patient data through it. The device has already helped nearly 300 families across Amey Desai’s home country. Users report feeling more confident and independent. One user’s son shared that his mother said it felt like “life had returned to her legs”. Another user, a 70-year-old man, said it helped him walk better and even return to playing golf. The device has benefited many people at the price of Rs 50,000 in his country. “We really hope to diminish it in the coming months,” Amey shares. Looking forward, Amey aims to make WALK more affordable and accessible to patients worldwide. 28．(2.5分)Why did Amey develop WALK? A．To apply his studies to practice. B．To meet the demands of the seniors. C．To become a famous medical expert. D．To help people with walking problems. 29．(2.5分)What’s the function of the smartphone app? A．Monitoring walking patterns. B．Tracking users’ daily exercise. C．Providing gentle vibrations and shock. D．Sharing patient information with doctors. 30．(2.5分)What do the users’ comments suggest? A．The users could run on their own. B．The device cures the users’ diseases. C．The device works well for the users. D．The users gained strength to play sports. 31．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “diminish” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Decrease. B．Design. C．Change. D．Quit. （本题10分）New technology is enabling patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disease that robs people of muscle control, to operate a wheelchair using only their eye movements. Developed by a research team led by Professor Long Yunze at Qingdao University, in collaboration with multiple medical and industrial partners, the system marks the world’s first self-powered eye tracking solution for ALS patients, with its core breakthrough lying in solving the power supply dilemma that has long restricted the daily use of traditional eye tracking devices. Most traditional eye tracking systems depend on external power supplies, which make them bulky, heavy and unfit for prolonged daily wear. For ALS patients who rely on such devices to maintain independent mobility, heavy head-mounted equipment, tangled power cables and constant low-battery alerts have long been major barriers to their daily life. To address this unmet need, the team developed a creative, user-centered solution: harvesting electricity directly from the wearer’s natural eye movements. The new system, ultra-light and fully wearable like a pair of ordinary prescription glasses, is designed for long-time comfortable wear. It adopts a dual-layer structure: a soft contact lens-like PDMS layer attaches gently to the eyeball, functioning as a mini triboelectric generator that produces steady electrical current through the friction generated by blinking or subtle eye rotations. The glasses frame is equipped with transparent electrodes that act as signal transmitters, converting tiny charge changes into real-time commands to steer the wheelchair accurately and smoothly. While the technology brings unprecedented hope to ALS patients, it still faces practical hurdles before large-scale clinical and daily application. Zhang Jun, a core researcher of the team, noted that they are deepening cooperation with industry partners to accelerate commercialization. If mass production is achieved successfully, this self-powered system will grant ALS patients greater independence, dignity and control over their lives, all through a simple blink. 32．(2.5分)What is the main innovation of the new system? A．It enables ALS independent mobility. B．It is the first medical eye tracking system. C．It solves the long-standing power problem. D．It achieves stable real-time signal transmission. 33．(2.5分)What is the difference between traditional and new systems? A．Power supply mode. B．Wearing comfort. C．Control accuracy. D．Signal transmission speed. 34．(2.5分)How does the new system produce electricity according to Paragraph 3? A．By eye movements. B．By external power supply. C．By charge changes from signals. D．By PDMS material in the lens. 35．(2.5分)What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Time to Replace Eye Systems. B．The Self-Powered System Aids Patients. C．Tips for Wearing Eye Systems. D．Eye System Controls Wheelchairs Well. （本题12.5分）Elevator music is, as its name might suggest, a type of music that is often played in commercial elevators in offices, hotels and other corporate structures. The songs played are usually familiar or recognizable tunes. 36(2.5分) Elevator music, more commonly known as Muzak, the name of a wired radio company, came into use in 1922. 37(2.5分) It has been proved that some kinds of elevator music can psychologically make buyers shop longer and browse items more easily. The main purpose of elevator music is to create a calm, quiet place for passengers travelling between floors. It tends to be most common in high-rise buildings, where passengers have longer rides. You can also hear it in crowded stores or shopping centres. 38(2.5分) 39(2.5分) The simplest way is to remove the singing from an appropriate track and only use the music. The second way is to pay a musician to record either an original song or a cover version of an existing composition that can be used. Almost all elevator-type music is purchased or streamed directly from companies that specialize in the genre. It’s often possible to find blends and channels designed to bring certain feelings, or that is related to things like the seasons or upcoming holidays. 40(2.5分) A．Modern elevator music is often formed in two ways. B．Companies can also purchase collections that are mainly classics. C．Muzak is still around today, although the company has shifted its focus. D．Calming music would help people work better and improve productivity. E．A number of companies specialize in composing and delivering this sort of music. F．The original purpose was to calm the passengers who used the elevators for the first time. G．In some ways, the concept is similar to that of music used in commercial phone systems while customers are on hold. 三、完形填空 This is a true story that took place a few days ago. This woman looked 41 , but she was very pretty in my eyes. I met the most beautiful woman in a shop. She wasn’t that 42 as she was 5 feet at the most. Her 43 was bent, too. She was thin and her face was 44 with black age spots from a lifetime of working in the sun. Her hair was thin and white. She was at least 80 years old and might have been over 90. She moved 45 and with great care. However, when she 46 you in the eye and spoke to you, you could see her 47 beauty shining through. Her face was wrinkled from a very 48 life of hard work and difficulty. But it was the lines around her eyes that caught my 49 . These wrinkles were deep and forever “canyons” that had been 50 by a million smiles and a lifetime of laughter. Her 51 were deep set and hidden behind thick, heavy glasses. But you could still see a lovely light 52 out of them. When she talked to you, they were bright with a wonderful shine that told you she was 53 with faith, love, hope, kindness and joy. I only 54 her for a minute or two, yet I left feeling better, and happier. I only hope that one day my own face will 55 the signs that hers did, showing a happy life, and a loved life. 41．(0分)A．ordinary B．accessible C．delightful D．delicate 42．A．depressed B．efficient C．tall D．lazy 43．A．foot B．image C．back D．dignity 44．A．awarded B．covered C．associated D．issued 45．A．slowly B．firmly C．finally D．obviously 46．A．wondered B．looked C．glared D．pointed 47．A．superb B．slight C．typical D．true 48．A．long B．common C．reserved D．strange 49．A．concern B．attention C．curiosity D．sympathy 50．A．rewarded B．motivated C．formed D．integrated 51．A．options B．emotions C．smiles D．eyes 52．A．escaping B．shining C．dying D．swinging 53．A．anxious B．compared C．content D．filled 54．A．cast off B．focused on C．spoke to D．applauded for 55．A．change B．present C．lose D．improve 四、语法填空 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。 Beijing recently made technological history by hosting the world’s first half-marathon for humanoid robots, 56(0分) (mark) a significant milestone in robotics development. Twenty teams from top universities and tech firms 57 (participate), with six robots completing the 21-kilometer race. The winner, Tiangong Ultra, finished it in just 2 hours and 40 minutes. This groundbreaking 58 (compete) represented a crucial transition from controlled laboratory testing 59 real-world application. Unlike artificial lab environments, the marathon’s unpredictable outdoor conditions tested the robots’ adaptability and endurance capabilities. Beyond sports, such robots are already in use — for example, the specialized inspection robots, 60 (develop) by China Southern Power Grid, can operate reliably in temperature extremes ranging from -40℃ to 80℃ while maintaining power lines in remote mountainous regions. Since the beginning of this year, Chinese tech giants, like Xiaomi and Huawei, 61 (join) forces with automotive leaders including Tesla and Toyota in what has become an international race to advance this technology. However, experts warn that despite rapid progress, significant technical problems remain. Most robots 62 (current) operate at Level 2 autonomy but achieving Level 4 — full independence — needs 63 (breakthrough) in AI decision-making. For students considering future careers in technology, humanoid robotics represents one of the most exciting and promising fields 64 may transform industries and daily life. 65 successful Beijing marathon serves as both a testament to how far we have come and a preview of the remarkable innovations still to come. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，上周末你参加了学生会举办的一次以“AI, our friend or our enemy?”为辩题的辩论活动。请你为校英语报写一篇文章，报道这次活动。内容包括： (1)活动时间、地点、目的; (2)活动内容(正反两方观点); (3)活动反响。 注意：写作词数应为80个左右; _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 六、书面表达 67．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。 When I was ten, my parents told me we were going to China for our summer holiday. I was over the moon – I had only ever seen the Great Wall and the Forbidden City in books, and now I would actually get to walk through history! For weeks, I imagined the towering palaces, the red-and-gold gates, and the stories hidden in every corner. Finally, the day arrived, and there I was, standing in the heart of Beijing, staring up at the most magnificent buildings I had ever seen. The Forbidden City was even more incredible in real life. The golden roofs shone under the sun, the delicate carvings told silent tales of emperors and warriors, and the vast courtyards made me feel like I had stepped into a fairy tale. Every turn revealed something new – a dragon statue, a marble staircase, a hidden garden – and I couldn’t stop taking pictures, desperate to capture every detail. My parents laughed as I dragged them from one spot to another, insisting on yet another photo. What struck me most were the colors. The imperial yellow of the rooftops against the deep red walls looked brighter than any picture could show. Even the stone pathways seemed to glow with centuries of footsteps. I remembered running my fingers along a carved marble railing, wondering how many hands had touched that same spot over six hundred years. The place was packed with tourists, all murmuring in different languages, their faces filled with the same amazement as mine. Some pointed at the architecture, others posed for pictures, and a few just stood quietly, taking it all in. The energy was infectious – everyone seemed to feel the magic of this ancient place. As the afternoon wore on, we followed the crowd toward the exit. The sea of people was overwhelming, and I, being small for my age, grasped my father’s hand tightly, afraid to get lost in the rushing crowd. The noise, the heat, and the excitement made everything feel like a blur – until suddenly, I looked down at the large hand I was holding – the wrong watch, the wrong-colored ring. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My blood turned to ice. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the help of the kind Chinese man, I found my father. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 2 Looking into the Future （适中版02） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分） What are the speakers mainly talking about?

The first one is the tree house. Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity and even create fresh air for the home. The root of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil to control the home’s temperature. The second one is the lizard home. Like a lizard, changing colors with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During the dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.

Priced between $2,000 and $20,000, these devices are unaffordable for most students, and they often have mechanical failures because of their complex and costly components. Rather than accept this reality, Mehta decided to try and make his own version, and after a lot of research and testing a few models, he succeeded. Since that day in India, Mehta began moving towards his goal by working with teachers and students at the Blind Relief Association in New Delhi. There, he was able to build a model and test it with the students. “I was deeply moved when the first student, Himanshu, placed his finger on the braille cell during a test trial and accurately identified the characters I had input. Seeing that brought literal tears to my eyes, as the breakthrough highlighted the impact and value of my project and inspired me to go further,” said Mehta. Having always been passionate about engineering, the young inventor found the hardware aspects of the project manageable. However, programming the device to transform input text into braille was something he had to teach himself. Ultimately, Mehta overcame this challenge by developing his skills and understanding of programming. The device simulates braille letter patterns by using a set of six rotating (旋转的) motors that gently press against the user’s fingers. These motors are connected to an Arduino, an open-source electronics platform known for its user-friendly hardware and programmable software. Letter information is then input into the device, translated to braille and sent to the motors. Users can read the braille output with 86% accuracy by resting their fingers just above the motor output. Mehta achieved his goal of creating a device that costs only about $20 to make and could be sold for around $35. He is currently working with two schools to refine the design of the machine for production. 24．(2.5分)Why did Yash Mehta want to create a new version of braille readers? A．He had a real passion for researching and making new things. B．He hoped to make more profits from selling brand-new products. C．The components of the braille readers available were hard to produce. D．The braille readers available were too expensive and often broke down. 25．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Character input. B．The test trial. C．Himanshu’s success. D．The braille cell. 26．(2.5分)What difficulty did Yash Mehta come across in his project? A．Transforming braille text. B．Managing the hardware parts. C．Learning programming skills. D．Understanding braille systems. 27．(2.5分)What is Paragraph 4 of the text mainly about? A．The design of the braille motors. B．The working principle of the device. C．The approach to building the device. D．The function of the Arduino platform. 【答案】24．D 25．C 26．C 27．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述14岁男孩Yash Mehta为印度盲校学生研发低成本、易使用的数字盲文阅读器的故事。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Priced between $2,000 and $20,000, these devices are unaffordable for most students, and they often have mechanical failures because of their complex and costly components.

Amey Desai, a 30-year-old electrical engineer, was inspired to create a device to help people with walking difficulties after his grandfather suffered from Parkinson’s disease. His studies in engineering helped him to develop a special wearable device called “WALK”. Developing WALK took several years until he worked closely with Dr. Samit Chakrabarty, whose research is related to movement control through signals created by the muscles. This experience proved to be a turning point. After their first model was built, he worked with many medical experts and doctors to test it. They followed strict medical safety standards and got the necessary papers. To their excitement, the result at a major hospital showed that using WALK reduced freezing by nearly half during tests. WALK is a small wearable device which can be tied to the lower legs. It uses sensors (传感器) to monitor walking patterns. When it senses signs of freezing, it produces gentle vibrations (振动) and mild electrical shock. These act as signs to help the wearer start moving again. The device also comes with a smartphone app that lets users track their progress and do guided exercises. Doctors can also check patient data through it. The device has already helped nearly 300 families across Amey Desai’s home country. Users report feeling more confident and independent. One user’s son shared that his mother said it felt like “life had returned to her legs”. Another user, a 70-year-old man, said it helped him walk better and even return to playing golf. The device has benefited many people at the price of Rs 50,000 in his country. “We really hope to diminish it in the coming months,” Amey shares. Looking forward, Amey aims to make WALK more affordable and accessible to patients worldwide. 28．(2.5分)Why did Amey develop WALK? A．To apply his studies to practice. B．To meet the demands of the seniors. C．To become a famous medical expert. D．To help people with walking problems. 29．(2.5分)What’s the function of the smartphone app? A．Monitoring walking patterns.

Developed by a research team led by Professor Long Yunze at Qingdao University, in collaboration with multiple medical and industrial partners, the system marks the world’s first self-powered eye tracking solution for ALS patients, with its core breakthrough lying in solving the power supply dilemma that has long restricted the daily use of traditional eye tracking devices. Most traditional eye tracking systems depend on external power supplies, which make them bulky, heavy and unfit for prolonged daily wear. For ALS patients who rely on such devices to maintain independent mobility, heavy head-mounted equipment, tangled power cables and constant low-battery alerts have long been major barriers to their daily life. To address this unmet need, the team developed a creative, user-centered solution: harvesting electricity directly from the wearer’s natural eye movements. The new system, ultra-light and fully wearable like a pair of ordinary prescription glasses, is designed for long-time comfortable wear. It adopts a dual-layer structure: a soft contact lens-like PDMS layer attaches gently to the eyeball, functioning as a mini triboelectric generator that produces steady electrical current through the friction generated by blinking or subtle eye rotations. The glasses frame is equipped with transparent electrodes that act as signal transmitters, converting tiny charge changes into real-time commands to steer the wheelchair accurately and smoothly. While the technology brings unprecedented hope to ALS patients, it still faces practical hurdles before large-scale clinical and daily application. Zhang Jun, a core researcher of the team, noted that they are deepening cooperation with industry partners to accelerate commercialization. If mass production is achieved successfully, this self-powered system will grant ALS patients greater independence, dignity and control over their lives, all through a simple blink. 32．(2.5分)What is the main innovation of the new system? A．It enables ALS independent mobility. B．It is the first medical eye tracking system. C．It solves the long-standing power problem. D．It achieves stable real-time signal transmission. 33．(2.5分)What is the difference between traditional and new systems? A．Power supply mode. B．Wearing comfort. C．Control accuracy. D．Signal transmission speed. 34．(2.5分)How does the new system produce electricity according to Paragraph 3? A．By eye movements. B．By external power supply. C．By charge changes from signals. D．By PDMS material in the lens. 35．(2.5分)What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Time to Replace Eye Systems. B．The Self-Powered System Aids Patients. C．Tips for Wearing Eye Systems. D．Eye System Controls Wheelchairs Well. 【答案】32．C 33．A 34．A 35．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了青岛大学团队研发出全球首款自供电眼动操控系统，可让渐冻症患者靠眼球转动控制轮椅，解决了传统设备供电难题，虽尚未大规模应用，却为患者带来希望。 32．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Developed by a research team led by Professor Long Yunze at Qingdao University, in collaboration with multiple medical and industrial partners, the system marks the world’s first self-powered eye tracking solution for ALS patients, with its core breakthrough lying in solving the power supply dilemma that has long restricted the daily use of traditional eye tracking devices.( 该系统由青岛大学的龙云泽教授领导的研究团队与多家医疗和工业合作伙伴共同开发，是世界上首个专为 ALS 患者设计的自供电眼球追踪解决方案，其核心突破在于解决了长期以来限制传统眼球追踪设备日常使用的电源供应问题。)”可知，该系统的核心创新是解决了长期困扰传统设备的供电难题。故选C项。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Most traditional eye tracking systems depend on external power supplies, which make them bulky, heavy and unfit for prolonged daily wear.( 大多数传统的眼球追踪系统依赖外部电源供应，这使得它们体积庞大、重量沉重，不适合长时间佩戴。)”提到大多数传统的眼球追踪系统依赖外部电源供应，而新系统是self-powered（自供电），由此可知，二者核心差异为供电方式。故选A项。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段中“It adopts a dual-layer structure: a soft contact lens-like PDMS layer attaches gently to the eyeball, functioning as a mini triboelectric generator that produces steady electrical current through the friction generated by blinking or subtle eye rotations.( 它采用了双层结构：一层柔软的类似软性隐形眼镜的聚二甲基硅氧烷（PDMS）层轻轻贴合在眼球上，起到微型摩擦电发电机的作用，通过眨眼或轻微的眼部转动产生的摩擦力产生稳定的电流。)”可知，新的系统通过眨眼、眼球转动等眼部运动产生电能。故选A项。 35．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“Developed by a research team led by Professor Long Yunze at Qingdao University, in collaboration with multiple medical and industrial partners, the system marks the world’s first self-powered eye tracking solution for ALS patients, with its core breakthrough lying in solving the power supply dilemma that has long restricted the daily use of traditional eye tracking devices.( 该系统由青岛大学的龙云泽教授领导的研究团队与多家医疗和工业合作伙伴共同开发，是世界上首个专为 ALS 患者设计的自供电眼球追踪解决方案，其核心突破在于解决了长期以来限制传统眼球追踪设备日常使用的电源供应问题。)”可知，文章主要介绍青岛大学团队研发的自供电眼动追踪系统，帮助渐冻症患者通过眼球运动操控轮椅，由此可知，这篇文章适合的标题是“自供电系统能帮助患者”。故选B项。 （本题12.5分）Elevator music is, as its name might suggest, a type of music that is often played in commercial elevators in offices, hotels and other corporate structures.

This woman looked 41 , but she was very pretty in my eyes. I met the most beautiful woman in a shop. She wasn’t that 42 as she was 5 feet at the most. Her 43 was bent, too. She was thin and her face was 44 with black age spots from a lifetime of working in the sun. Her hair was thin and white. She was at least 80 years old and might have been over 90. She moved 45 and with great care. However, when she 46 you in the eye and spoke to you, you could see her 47 beauty shining through. Her face was wrinkled from a very 48 life of hard work and difficulty. But it was the lines around her eyes that caught my 49 . These wrinkles were deep and forever “canyons” that had been 50 by a million smiles and a lifetime of laughter. Her 51 were deep set and hidden behind thick, heavy glasses.

Twenty teams from top universities and tech firms 57 (participate), with six robots completing the 21-kilometer race. The winner, Tiangong Ultra, finished it in just 2 hours and 40 minutes. This groundbreaking 58 (compete) represented a crucial transition from controlled laboratory testing 59 real-world application. Unlike artificial lab environments, the marathon’s unpredictable outdoor conditions tested the robots’ adaptability and endurance capabilities. Beyond sports, such robots are already in use — for example, the specialized inspection robots, 60 (develop) by China Southern Power Grid, can operate reliably in temperature extremes ranging from -40℃ to 80℃ while maintaining power lines in remote mountainous regions. Since the beginning of this year, Chinese tech giants, like Xiaomi and Huawei, 61 (join) forces with automotive leaders including Tesla and Toyota in what has become an international race to advance this technology. However, experts warn that despite rapid progress, significant technical problems remain. Most robots 62 (current) operate at Level 2 autonomy but achieving Level 4 — full independence — needs 63 (breakthrough) in AI decision-making. For students considering future careers in technology, humanoid robotics represents one of the most exciting and promising fields 64 may transform industries and daily life. 65 successful Beijing marathon serves as both a testament to how far we have come and a preview of the remarkable innovations still to come. 【答案】 56．marking 57．participated 58．competition 59．to 60．developed 61．have joined / have been joining 62．currently 63．breakthroughs 64．that 65．The 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍了北京举办世界首场人形机器人半程马拉松这一事件，阐述了其在机器人技术发展中的重要意义，提及相关技术应用、行业竞争及面临的问题，还对该领域发展前景进行了展望。 【详解】56．考查非谓语动词。句意：北京近日举办了全球首场人形机器人半程马拉松，创造了科技史上的新纪录，这标志着机器人技术发展的重要里程碑。此句已有谓语动词made，所以mark应使用非谓语形式，其逻辑主语是前面整个句子，二者是主动关系，故用现在分词marking作结果状语，表示自然而然的结果。故填marking。 57．考查动词时态。句意：来自顶尖大学和科技公司的20支队伍参加了比赛，有6个机器人完成了21公里的赛程。此句描述的是过去发生的事情，所以谓语动词participate应用一般过去时，故填participated。 58．考查名词。句意：这项开创性的比赛代表了从受控实验室测试到实际应用的关键转变。空前有指示代词This和形容词groundbreaking修饰，所以此处应填名词，compete的名词形式为competition，意为“比赛”，符合语境，作主语。故填competition。 59．考查介词。句意：这项开创性的比赛代表了从受控实验室测试到实际应用的关键转变。此处为固定搭配from...to...，意为“从……到……”，故填to。 60．考查非谓语动词。句意：除了体育领域，这类机器人已经投入使用——例如，中国南方电网开发的专业巡检机器人，能在极端温度（-40℃到80℃）下可靠运行，同时维护偏远山区的电力线路。此句已有谓语动词can operate，所以develop应使用非谓语形式，develop与逻辑主语the specialized inspection robots之间是被动关系，即“机器人被开发”，所以用过去分词developed作后置定语。故填developed。 61．考查动词时态。句意：自今年年初以来，小米、华为等中国科技巨头，与特斯拉、丰田等汽车行业领军企业一道，展开了一场推动这项技术发展的国际竞赛。根据时间状语Since the beginning of this year可知，此处可以用现在完成时have joined，表示过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响；也可以用现在完成进行时have been joining，表示从过去开始一直持续到现在，并且还可能继续下去的动作。主语是复数Chinese tech giants，所以助动词需用have。故填have joined/have been joining。 62．考查副词。句意：大多数机器人目前处于2级自主操作水平，但要达到4级——完全自主——则需要在人工智能决策方面取得突破。此处修饰动词operate，应用副词，current的副词形式为currently，意为“目前，当前”，故填currently。 63．考查名词复数。句意：大多数机器人目前处于2级自主操作水平，但要达到4级——完全自主——则需要在人工智能决策方面取得突破。breakthrough为可数名词，此处表示在多个方面取得突破，应用复数形式breakthroughs作宾语，故填breakthroughs。 64．考查定语从句。句意：对于考虑未来从事技术领域职业的学生来说，人形机器人技术代表着最令人兴奋和最有前途的领域之一，它可能会改变各个行业和日常生活。空处需用关系词引导定语从句，先行词为fields，指物，且在从句中作主语，又因为先行词被最高级most exciting and promising修饰，所以关系代词只能用that。故填that。 65．考查冠词。句意：成功举办的北京马拉松既是对我们已取得成就的见证，也是对未来非凡创新的预演。此处特指成功举办的这场北京马拉松比赛，所以用定冠词The，句首单词首字母大写，故填The。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，上周末你参加了学生会举办的一次以“AI, our friend or our enemy?”为辩题的辩论活动。请你为校英语报写一篇文章，报道这次活动。内容包括： (1)活动时间、地点、目的; (2)活动内容(正反两方观点); (3)活动反响。 注意：写作词数应为80个左右; _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Aiming to foster students’ critical thinking about AI and deepen their understanding of technological impacts, the Student Union organized a debate on “AI, our friend or our enemy?” last weekend.

I was over the moon – I had only ever seen the Great Wall and the Forbidden City in books, and now I would actually get to walk through history! For weeks, I imagined the towering palaces, the red-and-gold gates, and the stories hidden in every corner. Finally, the day arrived, and there I was, standing in the heart of Beijing, staring up at the most magnificent buildings I had ever seen. The Forbidden City was even more incredible in real life. The golden roofs shone under the sun, the delicate carvings told silent tales of emperors and warriors, and the vast courtyards made me feel like I had stepped into a fairy tale. Every turn revealed something new – a dragon statue, a marble staircase, a hidden garden – and I couldn’t stop taking pictures, desperate to capture every detail. My parents laughed as I dragged them from one spot to another, insisting on yet another photo. What struck me most were the colors. The imperial yellow of the rooftops against the deep red walls looked brighter than any picture could show. Even the stone pathways seemed to glow with centuries of footsteps. I remembered running my fingers along a carved marble railing, wondering how many hands had touched that same spot over six hundred years. The place was packed with tourists, all murmuring in different languages, their faces filled with the same amazement as mine. Some pointed at the architecture, others posed for pictures, and a few just stood quietly, taking it all in. The energy was infectious – everyone seemed to feel the magic of this ancient place. As the afternoon wore on, we followed the crowd toward the exit. The sea of people was overwhelming, and I, being small for my age, grasped my father’s hand tightly, afraid to get lost in the rushing crowd. The noise, the heat, and the excitement made everything feel like a blur – until suddenly, I looked down at the large hand I was holding – the wrong watch, the wrong-colored ring. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My blood turned to ice. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the help of the kind Chinese man, I found my father. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 My blood turned to ice. Panic seized me instantly as I pulled my hand away, my heart pounding wildly. I spun around, scanning the surging crowd, but my parents were nowhere to be seen. Tears blurred my vision, and I could barely breathe, overwhelmed by the noise and the sea of strangers. Just as I was about to break down, a gentle voice calmed me down. A kind Chinese man noticed my anxiety, knelt down to my level, and spoke in fluent English, asking if I had lost my parents. He comforted me patiently, told me to stay calm, and offered to help me find them. We stood at a clear spot near the exit, and he helped me announce my situation to the crowd. Suddenly, I heard a familiar, anxious voice calling my name. With the help of the kind Chinese man, I found my father. He rushed through the crowd, his face pale with worry, and hugged me tightly the moment he saw me. My mother followed closely behind, tears of relief streaming down her face. We turned to the kind man and expressed our deepest gratitude, thanking him repeatedly for his selfless help. He smiled warmly, waved goodbye, and disappeared into the crowd. This experience made me realize that the Forbidden City’s beauty was not only in its magnificent architecture, but also in the kindness of the Chinese people, which warmed my heart deeply. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述作者十岁时和父母暑假游览北京，被故宫宏伟的建筑、绚丽的色彩与悠久历史深深震撼。可在离开时拥挤的人群里，他慌乱中牵错了陌生人的手。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我瞬间浑身冰凉。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者牵错手与父母走散，惊慌失措时，一位热心中国人出手相助，帮她寻找父母。 ②由第二段首句内容“在这位热心中国男士的帮助下，我找到了爸爸。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：在好心人的帮助下，作者与父母团聚。这次经历让她体会到故宫之美，更难忘国人的温暖善意。 2. 续写线索：作者与父母走散——惊慌失措——热心人出手相助——与父母团聚——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/be aware of/perceive ②帮助：help/assist/aid ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①焦虑的：anxious/worried ②感激：gratitude/thankfulness/appreciation   【点睛】[高分句型1] I spun around, scanning the surging crowd, but my parents were nowhere to be seen. （运用了现在分词scanning作状语） [高分句型2] My mother followed closely behind, tears of relief streaming down her face. （运用了独立主格结构） 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
