Fix Moonwalkers to your shoes, power them on, and begin walking. The artificial intelligence software driving Moonwalkers measures and adjusts (调整) on-the-fly to both the terrain (地形) you’re on and the way you walk, providing safe and enjoyable walking experience. Moonwalkers move only when you do. They sense when you’re speeding up or slowing down. LOCK mode allows you to go up and down stairs confidently. Why do you choose Moonwalkers? ·Walk at the speed of a run: Get to where you’re going in less than half the time it normally takes. With a top speed of 7 mph, Moonwalkers improve every step. ·Expand (扩大) your footprint: Moonwalkers make walking many city blocks, even further, no sweat. ·Less stress: Less walking equals less stress on your body. Moonwalkers feature a user-friendly system that helps you naturally maintain mobility and balance. ·Freedom to go anywhere: Tested on dirt and much more, Moonwalkers can handle our current city and allow you to walk a hill like it’s nothing. Also, Moonwalkers can survive walking through rain. Despite their wide uses, they are not roller skates, so they do not freewheel, ever. What is the maximum user weight? Moonwalkers can support a maximum user weight of 220lbs (100kg). If you weigh more than 220lbs, you can still use Moonwalkers but will experience slightly reduced performance in certain edge cases. 21．(2.5分)What can we know about Moonwalkers?

He has drawn the attention of the world with his groundbreaking generation of electricity from an air-powered generator (发电机). After seeing the struggles his community faced because they didn’t have enough electricity, Ernest knew he had to do something. He believed that with a bit of creativity and hard work, he could make a difference. Armed with waste materials and a strong passion for invention, Ernest spent months experimenting in his simple workshop. Through trial and error, he improved his design, finally creating a model which was beyond expectation. Ernest’s self-made air-powered generator, made from repurposed and old parts and locally sourced materials, operates on a very simple principle (原理). Pressed air is channeled through a series of turbines (涡轮) and generators, producing clean and renewable energy with little environmental impact. Since displaying his invention, Ernest has become a local hero in Chinguwo Village, with his air-powered generator providing a lifeline to the community as far as electricity is concerned. Nine homes in his village are now lit up around the clock, which has left his villagers amazed and expecting that his invention could benefit them all. He hopes to make his invention reach even more communities in need across Malawi and beyond, with the support of local authorities and international organizations. “Electricity is a basic necessity. My goal is to empower as many people as possible with clean and renewable energy,” Ernest stressed.

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）We’ve had e-books, audiobooks, and of course good old-fashioned printed books – but could there be another way to read? So-called “augmented reality books”  — or “a-books” by their creators – are closer to mass-market production after a six-year project by researchers at the University of Surrey. E-book readers can access background information and extra features, but a-books would allow users to swipe their fingers across a line in a printed book and have related content flash up on their digital devices. A reader could, for example, run their finger over a character’s name to get their backstory to pop up on their phone, or get a reminder of the storylines of previous books in a series. While these features are commonly available for e-books, the challenge has been finding a way to adapt the technology for a physical book “without ruining the experience of reading a paper book”, said Sporea, the lead researcher. “Books have lots of appeal for what we might call their ‘bookness’, the fact they’re on paper and you handle them a certain way,” he said. The research team has just launched its third generation of the a-book, having experimented with a number of techniques, including the use of inks that react to light and activate when you turn a page. That method proved not to be possible outside a lab because “there’s not enough protection from oxygen and moisture (湿度) in the atmosphere,” Sporea said. The latest solution is to place ultra-thin solar panels between two halves of a single sheet of paper, which “awakens” the a-book’s special properties when a “magic bookmark” is laid on to a page. The team are now working to develop the paper so that it feels less “unwieldy and thick”, Sporea said. The project has so far been helped with $900,000 of government funding and the team is hoping to get book industry interest to help further develop and refine the technology. 32．(2.5分)What are ideal a-books like? A．They are connected to digital devices. B．They keep the feel of physical books. C．They provide access to extra information. D．They remind readers of previous plots. 33．(2.5分)What is the main challenge in adapting technology for a-books? A．Boosting energy-efficiency. B．Obtaining government funding. C．Reducing the cost of production. D．Finding the appropriate materials. 34．(2.5分)What is the function of a “magic bookmark”? A．To protect the solar panels. B．To mark the favorite parts. C．To activate the extra features. D．To sense the human touch. 35．(2.5分)What is the main idea of the text? A．Funding matters to technology. B．E-books are becoming outdated. C．Printed books are still in favor. D．A-books are closer to the market. （本题12.5分）I’ve always disliked getting up in winter. As a child, I would drag myself out of bed, my eyes half-closed, and watch my school uniform warming on the radiator. 36(2.5分) It’s too dark, and I am always half-asleep. 37(2.5分) Most of them are fun, but few really change my life in the long run. Sunrise alarm clocks, however, are different. They’ve become a fundamental part of my morning routine. My top picks, the Lumie Bodyclock Spark 100 and Philips SmartSleep, have greatly benefited me. I’m waking up every day feeling more energetic and mentally sharper. Essentially, sunrise alarm clocks are a combination of alarm clock and light treatment device that shines with increasing brightness as your wake-up time approaches. The light interacts with our natural sleep-wake cycle, much as the sun does when it rises. 38(2.5分) Sunrise alarm clocks also promote healthier sleep habits. In our tech-driven world, waking up often means immediately checking our phones. An important strength of sunrise alarm clocks is that your morning wake-up no longer involves your phone. Stopping a smartphone alarm means your day begins with eyes on-screen. 39(2.5分) But with these clocks, you can start the day with a clearer mind and more concentration. Sleep is personal, and no single device fits everyone. But for me, sunrise alarm clocks have been a game-changer. They’re affordable, with quality models available for under £30. 40(2.5分) After all, some morning people are made, not born. A．They prove to fall into this unique category. B．Interested in tech, I often test fascinating devices. C．Therefore, we wake up biologically prepared for the day. D．The path to endless screen time is just a fingerprint away. E．These days, I set multiple alarms to ensure I’m woken up. F．If you are struggling with dark mornings, it’s worth a shot. G．All of the sunrise alarm clocks I’ve tested have their strengths. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Many years ago, there was a young boy named Daniel who lived in a small village.

Twenty teams from top universities and tech firms 57(1.5分) (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(1.5分) (compete) represented a crucial transition from controlled laboratory testing 59(1.5分) 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(1.5分) (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(1.5分) (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(1.5分) (current) operate at Level 2 autonomy but achieving Level 4 — full independence — needs 63(1.5分) (breakthrough) in AI decision-making. For students considering future careers in technology, humanoid robotics represents one of the most exciting and promising fields 64(1.5分) may transform industries and daily life. 65(1.5分) 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．（本题25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 In 2018, 17-year-old Hemesh spent a life-changing summer with his grandmother Anne, who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Witnessing the impact of the disease firsthand, Hemesh was awakened to the seriousness of the situation. One night, Hemesh walked into the kitchen only to discover that his grandmother had left the gas stove (炉) on after making tea. Shocked by the dangerous consequences Alzheimer’s disease could bring about, he couldn’t help but wonder what might have happened if he hadn’t been there. Hemesh’s worries increased as he observed his grandmother’s behavior. She would wake up in the early hours of the morning, believing she was on a train, and wander outside aimlessly. This wandering tendency could potentially lead her to get lost or put herself in risky situations. Determined to make a difference, Hemesh engaged himself in extensive research about Alzheimer’s disease and its symptomatic (症状的) progression. Through his studies, he discovered that wandering was a common problem among dementia patients, especially those with Alzheimer’s disease. Inspired by his newfound knowledge and fueled by his desire to help, Hemesh told his family, “I can’t just stand by and watch this happen. I need to do something to keep Grandma safe. I think I have an idea that might help not just her, but others in similar situations.” With firm determination, he developed an inventive answer to the wandering dilemma, a device he called the Guardian Companion. It was a wearable device, similar to a smartwatch, specifically designed for Alzheimer’s patients. It integrated advanced GPS technology and a panic button to assist those who tended to wander, ensuring their safety and well-being. After the device got its official approval, Hemesh happily went to try it on for his grandmother. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As Anne put on the Guardian Companion, Hemesh explained how it worked. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the next few weeks, the device made a difference to Anne and her family. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 （较难版01） 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?

C．The telephone-like shoes. 19．(1.5分)Which word can best describe Trevor Baylis? A．Funny. B．Creative. C．Generous. 20．(1.5分)Where did Baylis get the idea of the telephone? A．In a dream. B．On TV. C．Over the radio. 【答案】18．B 19．B 20．A 【原文】M: How would you use a radio or a telephone if you had no electricity or batteries? These problems bothered British inventor Trevor Baylis, so in 1996 he invented a wind-up radio. It doesn’t need electricity or batteries. You wind it up by hand. It plays for about an hour, then you wind it up again. Today it’s produced in South Africa. Apart from that, Baylis invented a mobile telephone that is powered by shoes. The shoes contain a small battery that is powered when you walk. This battery is connected to a mobile phone. These two simple inventions can contribute a lot to the modern communications among all parts of the world. Baylis doesn’t have a university degree in engineering. In fact, he left high school before graduating. He just loves making things to help people. He never knows when the creative ideas will come to him. He got the idea for the radio while watching TV. The idea for the telephone came to him in a dream. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Do these look like skates? They’re Moonwalkers, battery-powered shoes with wheels. They are billed as “the world’s fastest shoes”. How do Moonwalkers work? Fix Moonwalkers to your shoes, power them on, and begin walking. The artificial intelligence software driving Moonwalkers measures and adjusts (调整) on-the-fly to both the terrain (地形) you’re on and the way you walk, providing safe and enjoyable walking experience. Moonwalkers move only when you do. They sense when you’re speeding up or slowing down. LOCK mode allows you to go up and down stairs confidently. Why do you choose Moonwalkers? ·Walk at the speed of a run: Get to where you’re going in less than half the time it normally takes. With a top speed of 7 mph, Moonwalkers improve every step. ·Expand (扩大) your footprint: Moonwalkers make walking many city blocks, even further, no sweat. ·Less stress: Less walking equals less stress on your body. Moonwalkers feature a user-friendly system that helps you naturally maintain mobility and balance. ·Freedom to go anywhere: Tested on dirt and much more, Moonwalkers can handle our current city and allow you to walk a hill like it’s nothing. Also, Moonwalkers can survive walking through rain. Despite their wide uses, they are not roller skates, so they do not freewheel, ever. What is the maximum user weight? Moonwalkers can support a maximum user weight of 220lbs (100kg). If you weigh more than 220lbs, you can still use Moonwalkers but will experience slightly reduced performance in certain edge cases. 21．(2.5分)What can we know about Moonwalkers? A．They are powered by walking. B．They help with stair climbing. C．They are assisted by technology. D．They can replace ordinary shoes. 22．(2.5分)With Moonwalkers, users may ________. A．walk as fast as they like B．practise their skating skills C．challenge their senses of balance D．travel further with less tiredness 23．(2.5分)According to the passage, which of the following might affect the Moonwalkers’ function? A．The hilly terrain. B．The rainy weather. C．The user weight. D．The walking distance. 【答案】21．C 22．D 23．C 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一款名为Moonwalkers的鞋子的情况。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据How do Moonwalkers work?部分第一段中“The artificial intelligence sottware driving Moonwalkers measures and adjusts (调整) on-the-fly to both the terrain (地形) you’re on and the way you walk, providing safe and enjoyable walking experience.(驱动Moonwalkers的人工智能软件会根据你所处的地形和行走方式进行测量和调整，为你提供安全和愉快的行走体验)”可知，Moonwalkers得到了技术的帮助。故选C。 22．细节理解题。根据Why do you choose Moonwalkers?部分中“·Expand (扩大) your footprint: Moonwalkers make walking many city blocks, even further, no sweat.(·扩大你的足迹：Moonwalkers可以让你走很多街区，甚至更远，毫不费力)”可知，有了Moonwalkers，用户可以在不那么疲劳的情况下走得更远。故选D。 23．细节理解题。根据最后一段“If you weigh more than 220lbs, you can still use Moonwalkers but will experience slightly reduced performance in certain edge cases. (如果你的体重超过220磅，你仍然可以使用月球漫步者，但在某些极端情况下，性能会略有下降)”可知，用户体重会影响Moonwalkers的功能。故选C。 （本题10分）In Malawi, a poor African country, a 19-year-old student Ernest Andrew, a native of Chinguwo Village, is making waves with his creative solution to the country’s energy challenges.

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. 【答案】28．D 29．D 30．C 31．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了工程师Amey受患帕金森病的祖父启发，研发了穿戴设备“WALK”，从而帮助了数百个家庭的患者。 28．推理判断题。根据第一段“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”.(现年30岁的电气工程师Amey Desai，在其祖父患上帕金森病后，受到启发，决心研发一款帮助行走困难人群的装置。他所学的工程学知识助力他开发出了一款名为“WALK”的特殊可穿戴设备。)”可知，Amey研发WALK这个设备的目的是帮助有行走困难的人。故选D。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段“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.(这款设备还配备了一款智能手机应用程序，用户可通过它追踪自己的康复进展，并进行有指导的锻炼。医生也能通过该程序查看患者的数据。)”可知，这款智能手机应用的功能是与医生共享患者信息。故选D。 30．推理判断题。根据第四段“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.(用户反馈称，他们感到更加自信和独立。一位用户的儿子分享道，他母亲说感觉“双腿仿佛重新焕发了生机”。另一位70岁的男性用户表示，这款设备帮助他改善了行走能力，甚至还能重返球场打高尔夫了。)”可知，评论都是出自使用设备的患者们，这些评论都表明了该设备改善了他们的行动能力，所以可推断WALK是起作用的。故选C。 31．词句猜测题。根据语境可知，画线单词后的it指的是上文的价格；再根据后文“Amey aims to make WALK more affordable and accessible to patients worldwide(Amey的目标是让“WALK”设备更加经济实惠，让全球患者都能用得上)”可知，Amey及其团队想让全球患者更能负担得起且更容易获得WALK，所以此处表示降低价格。diminish的意思是“降低”，和decrease意思相近。故选A。 （本题10分）We’ve had e-books, audiobooks, and of course good old-fashioned printed books – but could there be another way to read? So-called “augmented reality books”  — or “a-books” by their creators – are closer to mass-market production after a six-year project by researchers at the University of Surrey. E-book readers can access background information and extra features, but a-books would allow users to swipe their fingers across a line in a printed book and have related content flash up on their digital devices. A reader could, for example, run their finger over a character’s name to get their backstory to pop up on their phone, or get a reminder of the storylines of previous books in a series. While these features are commonly available for e-books, the challenge has been finding a way to adapt the technology for a physical book “without ruining the experience of reading a paper book”, said Sporea, the lead researcher. “Books have lots of appeal for what we might call their ‘bookness’, the fact they’re on paper and you handle them a certain way,” he said. The research team has just launched its third generation of the a-book, having experimented with a number of techniques, including the use of inks that react to light and activate when you turn a page. That method proved not to be possible outside a lab because “there’s not enough protection from oxygen and moisture (湿度) in the atmosphere,” Sporea said. The latest solution is to place ultra-thin solar panels between two halves of a single sheet of paper, which “awakens” the a-book’s special properties when a “magic bookmark” is laid on to a page. The team are now working to develop the paper so that it feels less “unwieldy and thick”, Sporea said. The project has so far been helped with $900,000 of government funding and the team is hoping to get book industry interest to help further develop and refine the technology. 32．(2.5分)What are ideal a-books like? A．They are connected to digital devices. B．They keep the feel of physical books. C．They provide access to extra information. D．They remind readers of previous plots. 33．(2.5分)What is the main challenge in adapting technology for a-books? A．Boosting energy-efficiency. B．Obtaining government funding. C．Reducing the cost of production. D．Finding the appropriate materials. 34．(2.5分)What is the function of a “magic bookmark”? A．To protect the solar panels. B．To mark the favorite parts. C．To activate the extra features. D．To sense the human touch. 35．(2.5分)What is the main idea of the text? A．Funding matters to technology. B．E-books are becoming outdated. C．Printed books are still in favor. D．A-books are closer to the market. 【答案】32．B 33．D 34．C 35．D 【导语】本文主要介绍增强现实书籍历经多年研发不断优化，如今即将推向大众市场，并介绍其功能特点、研发难题与后续发展规划。 【详解】32．推理判断题。根据原文第三段“without ruining the experience of reading a paper book (不破坏纸质书的阅读体验)”及““Books have lots of appeal for what we might call their ‘bookness’, the fact they’re on paper and you handle them a certain way,” he said.(他表示：“书籍有着独特的纸质魅力，纸张质感与握持翻阅的触感，都让它格外吸引人。”)”可知，理想的增强现实书籍应该保留纸质书本的触感和体验。 33．推理判断题。根据原文第四段“The research team has just launched its third generation of the a-book, having experimented with a number of techniques, including the use of inks that react to light and activate when you turn a page. That method proved not to be possible outside a lab (该研究团队推出了第三代增强现实书籍，此前尝试过多种技术，包括使用遇光反应、翻页即可触发效果的油墨。事实证明，这种技术无法在实验室以外的场景应用)”可知，主要难题是找到合适的材料来使技术在现实环境中可行。 34．细节理解题。根据原文第四段“The latest solution is to place ultra-thin solar panels between two halves of a single sheet of paper, which “awakens” the a-book’s special properties when a “magic bookmark” is laid on to a page.(最新的解决办法是在单张纸张夹层中放置超薄太阳能板，当魔法书签放置在书页上时，就能唤醒增强现实书籍的特殊功能。)”可知，魔法书签的作用是激活书籍附加功能。 35．主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“So-called “augmented reality books” — or “a-books” by their creators – are closer to mass-market production after a six-year project by researchers at the University of Surrey.(所谓的增强现实书籍，其研发者将其简称为a书，历经萨里大学研究人员六年攻关后，现已距离量产上市越来越近。)” 及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述增强现实书籍历经多年研发不断优化，即将走入市场。 （本题12.5分）I’ve always disliked getting up in winter. As a child, I would drag myself out of bed, my eyes half-closed, and watch my school uniform warming on the radiator. 36(2.5分) It’s too dark, and I am always half-asleep. 37(2.5分) Most of them are fun, but few really change my life in the long run. Sunrise alarm clocks, however, are different. They’ve become a fundamental part of my morning routine. My top picks, the Lumie Bodyclock Spark 100 and Philips SmartSleep, have greatly benefited me. I’m waking up every day feeling more energetic and mentally sharper. Essentially, sunrise alarm clocks are a combination of alarm clock and light treatment device that shines with increasing brightness as your wake-up time approaches.

Witnessing the impact of the disease firsthand, Hemesh was awakened to the seriousness of the situation. One night, Hemesh walked into the kitchen only to discover that his grandmother had left the gas stove (炉) on after making tea. Shocked by the dangerous consequences Alzheimer’s disease could bring about, he couldn’t help but wonder what might have happened if he hadn’t been there. Hemesh’s worries increased as he observed his grandmother’s behavior. She would wake up in the early hours of the morning, believing she was on a train, and wander outside aimlessly. This wandering tendency could potentially lead her to get lost or put herself in risky situations. Determined to make a difference, Hemesh engaged himself in extensive research about Alzheimer’s disease and its symptomatic (症状的) progression. Through his studies, he discovered that wandering was a common problem among dementia patients, especially those with Alzheimer’s disease. Inspired by his newfound knowledge and fueled by his desire to help, Hemesh told his family, “I can’t just stand by and watch this happen. I need to do something to keep Grandma safe. I think I have an idea that might help not just her, but others in similar situations.” With firm determination, he developed an inventive answer to the wandering dilemma, a device he called the Guardian Companion. It was a wearable device, similar to a smartwatch, specifically designed for Alzheimer’s patients. It integrated advanced GPS technology and a panic button to assist those who tended to wander, ensuring their safety and well-being. After the device got its official approval, Hemesh happily went to try it on for his grandmother. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As Anne put on the Guardian Companion, Hemesh explained how it worked. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the next few weeks, the device made a difference to Anne and her family. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： As Anne put on the Guardian Companion, Hemesh explained how it worked. He reassured her that it would help keep her safe. With a mixture of curiosity and skepticism, Anne agreed to give it a try. The device fit comfortably on her wrist. Hemesh walked his grandmother through the features, showing her how to use the panic button. Anne’s eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope, and for the first time since her diagnosis, she felt a sense of regained independence. In the next few weeks, the device made a difference to Anne and her family. Not only did it provide a sense of security for Anne, but it also relieved the constant worry for her loved ones. The device brought peace of mind to the entire family, knowing that Anne was protected even when they couldn’t be by her side. Hemesh’s creation had truly transformed dementia care, and he found himself on a new mission to make the device accessible to as many people as possible, ensuring that no one had to face the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease alone. 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了2018年，17岁的Hemesh和被诊断患有阿尔茨海默病的祖母Anne度过了一个改变人生的夏天。Hemesh亲眼目睹了这种疾病对祖母的影响的严重性，主要表现为“闲荡”。出于对于祖母安全的考虑，凭着坚定的决心，他发明了一种可穿戴装置，类似于智能手表，专门为患有阿尔茨海默病患者设计。通过该装置的使用，祖母不仅在人身安全方面得到了保障，也在精神上有了自由保证。不仅如此，Hemesh希望可以对该装置进行跟进和改善，以适用于更多的患有阿尔茨海默病的人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“As Anne put on the Guardian Companion, Hemesh explained how it worked. (当Anne戴上“守护伴侣”时，Hemesh解释了它是如何工作的。)”可知，第一段可描写Hemesh对这个装置的具体解释和演示使用方法。 ②由第二段首句内容“In the next few weeks, the device made a difference to Anne and her family. (在接下来的几个星期里，这个装置对Anne和她的家人产生了影响。)”可知，第二段可描写这个装置对于Anne和家人的具体影响，以及Hemesh的打算。 2.续写线索：劝服Anne戴上“守护伴侣”——解释功能——点燃希望——“守护伴侣”给Anne和家人带来的积极影响——Hemesh的打算 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①演示/展示：show/display/reveal/present ②提供：provide/offer/give ③带来/导致：bring/produce/cause ④知道/了解：know/learn about/be aware of/make sure 情绪类 ①希望/信心：with a glimmer of hope/wishfully/hopefully ②担心/焦虑：constant worry/anxiety 【点睛】[高分句型1].
