Once, I first saw it at a school exhibition, where the bright red patterns immediately caught my attention. The works showed flowers, animals, and even stories from Chinese legends. I was amazed by the skill and patience required to make each delicate shape. Paper cutting inspires me in many ways. It teaches me to slow down, stay focused, and appreciate the beauty hidden in simple things. Besides, it reminds me of the value of our culture and encourages me to protect it. Through this form of art, I feel more connected to my roots.

Everyday life has never contained more stuff—an endless reel of words, ideas, games, songs, videos, memes, outrageous statements, celebrity meltdowns, life hacks, extremely talented animals. Yet audiences can sense what’s missing. For all the energy society invests in culture today, little has emerged that feels new, and certainly nothing revolutionary enough to properly outmode the past. Some commentators have argued that cultural progress is at a standstill. In The Crisis of Culture, published in English in 2024, the French political scientist Olivier Roy claims that the canon has been abandoned, subcultures have been reduced to superficial identity groups, and the marketplace has swallowed everything. As a full diagnosis, this seems too pessimistic. In its broadest definition, culture always exists, and subcultures remain—there are just fewer conspicuous ones now, and those have less influence. The canon is not dead; the problem, rather, is that it casts too long a shadow over the present. Kurt Cobain would have wanted the next generation’s musicians and listeners to kill their idols, including him. Instead, they wear his face on T-shirts. Still, the lingering reverence toward Cobain and other larger-than-life 20th-century artists suggests a deeply rooted collective respect for the agents of radical cultural change. What’s missing now is a veneration of the artistic mindset, which possesses the imagination to reject kitsch—art that trades in well-worn formulas, stock emotions, and immediate comprehensibility—and pursue work that expands the possibilities of human perception. Doing so requires at least some creators in the cultural ecosystem to strive for complexity, ambiguity, and formal experimentation—attributes that power the masterpieces that draw millions of people every year to museums. The first step in reversing cultural stagnation is to accept that artistic invention is a social good. And like so many other social goods, it isn’t necessarily going to have its production prioritized by the market. We—creators and audiences alike—have to make an effort to encourage bold new forms of culture. Even failures and half steps will be more interesting than overly market-tested products. 【全文翻译】 步入 21 世纪的第 25 个年头，当代文化与上一个千禧年相比已然迥然不同。我们的日常生活充斥着海量内容：源源不断的文字、观点、游戏、歌曲、视频、网络梗图、惊世骇俗的言论、名人情绪失控的闹剧、生活小窍门，还有各种天赋异禀的动物。但受众能够察觉到其中的缺失。尽管当今社会在文化领域投入了巨大精力，真正具有新意的作品却寥寥无几，更谈不上诞生足以彻底淘汰旧时代成果的革命性作品。 部分评论者提出，文化发展已经陷入停滞。法国政治学家奥利维耶・罗伊所著的《文化危机》于 2024 年推出英译本，书中提出：经典正统作品遭到抛弃，亚文化沦为流于表面的身份标签群体，商业市场吞噬了一切。但作为一份完整的现状研判，这种观点未免过于悲观。从广义层面来说，文化永远不会消亡，亚文化也依旧存在；只不过如今引人瞩目的亚文化变少了，其影响力也大不如前。经典并未消亡；真正的问题反而是，它给当下投下了过于厚重的阴影。科特・柯本本希望下一代音乐人与听众敢于推翻偶像，其中也包括他自己。可现实却是，年轻人把他的头像印在 T 恤之上。 即便如此，人们对柯本以及其他 20 世纪传奇艺术家挥之不去的崇敬，折射出整个集体对激进文化变革推动者根深蒂固的敬畏。当下我们所缺失的，是对艺术创作思维本身的推崇。这种创作思维拥有充沛想象力，拒绝媚俗艺术 —— 也就是那些套用陈旧套路、贩卖刻板情绪、追求直白易懂的作品，转而追寻能够拓宽人类感知边界的创作。想要实现这一点，文化生态中至少要有一部分创作者，主动去追求作品的复杂性、多义性与形式创新；正是这些特质，造就了那些每年吸引数百万观众走进博物馆的传世杰作。 想要扭转文化停滞的局面，第一步就是承认：艺术创新是一种社会价值。而和许多社会价值一样，市场未必会将艺术创新放在优先生产的位置。无论是创作者还是受众，我们都必须主动去鼓励大胆的新型文化表达。即便是失败之作、半成品，也远比经过市场反复打磨、毫无风险的流水线产品更有价值。 【核心词汇】 ( 1 / 13 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1. markedly adv. 显著地，明显地 2. millennium n. 千禧年，一千年 3. reel n. 一连串，卷轴 4. meme n. 网络梗，模因 5. outrageous adj. 骇人的，惊世骇俗的 6. meltdown n. 情绪崩溃，失控 7. revolutionary adj. 革命性的 8. outmode v. 使过时，淘汰 9. standstill n. 停滞，静止 10. canon n. 经典作品集，正统经典 11. subculture n. 亚文化 12. superficial adj. 表面的，肤浅的 13. conspicuous adj. 显眼的，引人注目的 14. lingering adj. 挥之不去的，久久留存的 15. reverence n. 崇敬，敬畏 16. larger‑than‑life adj. 传奇式的，非同凡响的 17. veneration n. 推崇，敬仰 18. kitsch n. 媚俗艺术，庸俗作品 19. well‑worn formulas 陈旧套路 20. stock emotions 刻板俗套的情绪 21. comprehensibility n. 通俗易懂 22. perception n. 感知，认知 23. ambiguity n. 多义性，模糊感 24. formal experimentation 形式创新 25. stagnation n. 停滞 26. social good 社会公益，社会价值 27. prioritize v. 把……优先对待 28. half step n. 半成品，不完满的尝试 【长难句分析】 1.For all the energy society invests in culture today, little has emerged that feels new, and certainly nothing revolutionary enough to properly outmode the past. 句意：尽管当今社会在文化上投入了大量精力，但几乎没有什么新的东西出现，当然也没有任何足以彻底取代过去的革命性事物。 分析：本句是一个并列复合句。“For all the energy society invests in culture today”是让步状语，其中“society invests in culture today”是省略了关系代词that的定语从句，修饰先行词“energy”；“little has emerged”是主句部分，“that feels new”是定语从句，修饰先行词“little”；“and”连接两个并列部分，“nothing revolutionary enough to properly outmode the past”中“revolutionary enough to properly outmode the past”是后置定语，修饰“nothing”。 2. What’s missing now is a veneration of the artistic mindset, which possesses the imagination to reject kitsch—art that trades in well - worn formulas, stock emotions, and immediate comprehensibility—and pursue work that expands the possibilities of human perception. 句意：如今所缺失的是对艺术思维方式的尊崇，这种思维方式拥有拒绝媚俗艺术（一种采用陈腐套路、老套情感和即时可理解性的艺术）的想象力，并追求能够拓展人类感知可能性的作品。 分析：本句是主系表结构的复合句。“What’s missing now”是主语从句作主语；“is”是系动词；“a veneration of the artistic mindset”是表语；“which possesses the imagination to reject kitsch...and pursue work...”是一个非限定性定语从句，修饰先行词“the artistic mindset”；破折号之间的“art that trades in well - worn formulas, stock emotions, and immediate comprehensibility”是对“kitsch”的解释说明，其中“that trades in well - worn formulas, stock emotions, and immediate comprehensibility”是定语从句，修饰“art”；“that expands the possibilities of human perception”是定语从句，修饰先行词“work”。 练·能力培优拔高 培优提升篇 Passage 1 For years, vertical farming has been promoted as the future of agriculture — a way to grow massive amounts of food in climate-controlled warehouses, using far less water and land than traditional farming. But the industry has faced persistent challenges: high energy costs, technical failures, and questions about whether it can grow anything beyond leafy greens. Now, a new wave of vertical farms is emerging, backed by major investors and advances in LED lighting and automation. In cities like Newark, New Jersey, massive indoor farms now produce up to 2 million pounds of greens per year in spaces the size of a grocery store. These farms use hydroponic systems that deliver nutrients directly to plant roots, eliminating the need for soil and allowing year-round production independent of the weather. “We can grow anywhere,” said one industry executive. “We’re not dependent on climate, and we’re not dependent on seasons. We can put a farm in the middle of a city and deliver produce the same day it’s harvested.” The environmental benefits are significant. Vertical farming uses up to 95% less water than conventional agriculture and eliminates the carbon emissions associated with long-distance transportation. With produce often traveling thousands of miles from farm to plate, local indoor farming offers an appealing alternative. Yet skepticism remains. Critics point to the enormous energy consumption required to power LED lights and climate control systems. A vertical farm can use as much electricity as a small town, and unless that energy comes from renewable sources, the carbon footprint can exceed that of traditional farming. Additionally, the technology remains expensive — construction costs for a single facility can exceed $100 million. Perhaps the biggest limitation is what vertical farms can actually grow. The economics only work for high-value, fast-growing crops like lettuce, herbs, and microgreens. Staple crops like wheat, rice, and corn — which feed the majority of the world’s population — are unlikely to ever be producible in vertical farms. Despite these challenges, proponents argue that vertical farming is not meant to replace traditional agriculture but to complement it. In an increasingly urbanized world with growing climate pressures, having a reliable source of fresh produce grown within cities may prove invaluable. As one researcher put it, “This isn’t about growing all our food indoors. It’s about building resilience into our food system.” 1．What can we learn about vertical farming from paragraph 1? A．It offers methods to cut farming costs. B．It reflects expectations plus real challenges. C．It shows the popularity of vertical farming. D．It proves vertical farming improves food output. 2．What’s the strength of hydroponic systems? A．It helps reduce the amount of energy consumption. B．It makes the growth of indoor staple crops possible. C．It can be operated without soil and weather limits. D．It allows farmers to expand food production easily. 3．Which of the following do critics probably agree on? A．Developing vertical farms needs careful consideration. B．Using new technology needs lower construction costs. C．Improving traditional farming needs little public support. D．Cutting the cost of facilities in a small town needs action. 4．What is the author’s attitude towards vertical farming? A．Objective and reasonable. B．Skeptical and opposed. C．Doubtful and pessimistic. D．Supportive and confident. Passage 2 It began in the 1980s as a way to quickly produce simple prototype models in plastic. These days 3D printing or "additive manufacturing" is used to make kitchen gadgets, jet-engine parts, dental implants and even some buildings. In a paper published in Science Advances, a team of researchers led by Yong Lin Kong and his colleagues at Rice University propose another application. They have come up with a way to print electronic circuits onto delicate materials, including living tissue. The researchers hope that could eventually lead to medical implants that wirelessly monitor the condition of their recipients, high tech pills and more. 3D printing circuitry is not a new idea. Nano Dimension, for instance, prints electronics into communication equipment and medical sensors. Printers made by Optomec, build antennas directly into smartphone cases, as well as printing circuits onto touch screens and solar panels. The process uses electronic inks that contain tiny particles of conductive material, such as copper, silver or gold. The particles are then joined together to form a conductive pathway, usually by a process known as annealing, which involves either heating the entire product in furnace (熔炉), or attacking the inks with a laser. But that approach has limits, says Dr. Kong. The heat can damage sensitive materials, including some polymers and living tissue. His team has developed a way to deal with electronic inks using microwaves focused into a beam smaller than a human hair. The precision of the beam ensures that only the ink particles heat up, avoiding any damage to the surrounding substances. The researchers produced a special resonator (谐振器) to boost the microwave energy and a tapered tip to focus the beam into a dot less than 200 millionths of a meter across. The kit is small enough to be fitted to a desktop 3D printer. By adjusting the power of the beam, it is possible to change the microstructure of the ink. This can be used to create regions of higher or lower conductivity along the circuit, allowing some components, such as resistors (电阻), to be created within the wiring. This capability opens the door to printing electronic circuits directly onto heat-sensitive materials like flexible plastics or even human skin. 1．What new progress has Kong’s research team achieved? A．It makes plastic industrial models. B．It develops wires for high tech pills. C．It produces parts for aircraft engines. D．It prints circuits on fragile substances. 2．What does the underlined word “annealing” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．A heating method to combine metal particles. B．A physical means to store conductive metal ink mixtures. C．A technical operation to narrow focused microwave beams. D．A burning treatment to remove particles from electronic inks. 3．What is the key breakthrough of Dr. Kong’s research team? A．A new type of conductive electronic ink. B．An approach to heating the ink accurately. C．A 3D printer working faster than traditional ones. D．A method of using microwave at room temperature. 4．What will the following paragraph most probably discuss? A．The ways to improve desktop 3D-printing quality. B．The potential applications of the new technology. C．The major limitations of 3D printing techniques. D．The working principles of the special resonator. Passage 3 AI glasses, one of the most cutting-edge smart wearables, are jointly developed and produced by leading Chinese tech research teams. Years of professional engineering research and repeated user tests have shaped this generation of lightweight, high-performance smart glasses. Given people’s real pain points in daily cross-language communication and inconvenient carrying of smart devices, developers aim to create a device that looks no different from ordinary eyeglasses, so users can wear it all day without extra burden. Made with diffractive waveguides (衍射光波导) technology and powered by advanced small self-developed chips, the finished product weighs merely 49 grams, achieving perfect balance between beauty and comfort. As for core functions, the AI glasses boast outstanding performance. First, they support real-time translation of up to 122 languages and dialects, serving as a portable personal interpreter. They also provide real-time navigation, photo and video capture, AI intelligent Q&A, meeting record and glance-and-pay. Some upgraded models even adopt AI voice-cloning technology, greatly improving the personalized interaction experience. Compared with traditional wearables, the AI glasses have unique competitive advantages. They break language barriers efficiently, free people from heavy mobile phones, and perfectly combine ancient daily wearing habits with futuristic high technology. In competition with international rivals, Chinese industry researchers hold all the cards. “We are no longer followers; in key technologies like diffractive waveguides, we have taken the lead,” said Dr. Meng, a leading Chinese developer in the field. At present, the product has finished the shift from abstract concept to practical daily use. It is gradually developing from a single device into a complete smart ecosystem. With continuous technological upgrading, AI glasses are expected to enter thousands of households, reshape people’s work, travel and social ways, and become a necessary smart partner in modern daily life. 1．What is one of the design goals of the AI glasses? A．To unite major tech research teams. B．To promote cross-language learning. C．To test the advanced self-developed chips. D．To make them light and comfortable to wear. 2．What can the AI glasses help the wearers do? A．Design a video creatively. B．Keep track of expenses accurately. C．See an object in the distance clearly. D．Give interpretation of languages instantly. 3．What is the main purpose of the fourth paragraph? A．To predict the future development. B．To highlight the advanced strengths. C．To compare with ordinary eyeglasses. D．To describe hardships in the development. 4．What does the underlined phrase “hold all the cards” mean? A．Lose advantages. B．Make preparations. C．Be full of confidence. D．Be aware of stress. Passage 4 Cloud storage (云储存) is a flexible and convenient way to store data with complete peace of mind. It enables you to store your data on distant servers. 1 In this way, the space on your computer won’t be taken up. There are two options available: public cloud storage allows you to share hosting space with other users; private cloud storage is the ideal choice for companies who want to have their data stored in their own environment. 2 Once you have registered and set up your account, you simply save your files via the Internet using your username and password. This ensures your data remains secure and inaccessible to anyone else. Should you choose, you can put certain permissions in place, which makes it easy to share your data with your colleagues or your family. When you sign up to cloud storage, you can choose the amount of space you need. 3 You can store anything digital: all your files, videos and pictures. Whether you want to use this storage solution to store your family photographs or you want to use it to store your work documentation, you will find it quite convenient. Is it better than your computer or an external drive (驱动)? The answer is a definite yes. 4 This is the most common cause of lost work and memories. External hard drives can still break, or fail. Here you also have the added risk of misplacing it or having it stolen. There are so many advantages to cloud computing, from the ability to access your data from wherever, whenever, to not needing expensive external storage devices. 5 A．Computers crash all the time. B．Cloud storage is very simple to use. C．You will find cloud storage very cheap. D．This means you can store all your digital things remotely. E．Cloud storage providers offer many layers of data security. F．You can start with a small amount and increase the storage size later on. G．The only disadvantage, however, is that you need the Internet to access files. Passage 5 Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been one of the most revolutionary technologies in recent decades, and its future development holds even more astonishing prospects. One significant trend is the continuous expansion of AI applications. For instance, in the transportation sector, self-driving vehicles are expected to become more common and reliable. They will improve traffic efficiency. 1 . It’s expected that in the near future, self-driving cars will be a mainstream mode of transportation. In the field of healthcare, AI will play an increasingly crucial role. 2 . By analysing an individual’s genetic data, lifestyle, and medical history, AI systems can more accurately predict diseases and recommend tailored treatment plans. This will lead to more effective prevention and cures. Another trend is the improvement of AI’s cognitive (认知的) abilities. AI will be able to understand and generate natural language more skillfully. 3 . Therefore, it will promote global communication and cooperation. Virtual assistants will also become more intelligent and human-like. They are able to have in-depth and meaningful conversations with users, understanding their emotions and intentions better. 4 . Smart factories will emerge (出现). Here AI-powered robots and machines can work together efficiently. They can improve production processes, detect faults in real-time, and adjust production parameters (参数) automatically, leading to higher productivity and quality control. Obviously, the future of AI technology is filled with unlimited possibilities. 5 , bringing about greater convenience, efficiency and progress. A．It can be used for personalised medicine B．The cost of developing AI remains extremely high C．It will reshape various industries and aspects of our lives D．It can monitor patients’ vital signs continuously in hospitals E．They’ll also reduce the number of accidents caused by human errors F．There’s no doubt that AI will fuel innovation in industrial production G．This means cross-language translation will be highly accurate and fluent Passage 6 For years, self-doubt shadowed me. Its roots stretched back to my autism diagnosis (自闭症的诊断), a time when 1 was rare. Teachers puzzled over me, classmates bullied me, and I 2 my truth, letting the self-doubt grow heavier. Middle school compounded (混合) it: back surgery, failed exams, repeated SAT struggles. Yet beneath these 3 , a tiny voice insisted, “Keep going.” After three attempts, I finally passed — but 4 remained. To solve it, I began 5 — pouring anger, sadness, hope onto pages. 6 , feelings I couldn’t speak found shape. I started 7 my story: autism, bullying, the fight to believe. With each word, the doubt 8 . I realized my weaknesses like sensitivity and unique perspective became strengths. After I turned those writings into a book, responses 9 : readers felt less alone, and opened up their own 10 , while parents found hope. Then I began to instruct, 11 at conferences and connect with others who’d felt humble. In Dubai, after a speech, a shy teen — who communicated through song — stepped up. With my 12 , he sang of longing for family closeness, his voice raw and beautiful. In that moment, I knew: the 13 I once hid had helped someone express theirs. Now, I speak worldwide, but the real 14 is knowing someone out there hears my story and thinks, “Maybe I’m not alone.” To anyone 15 self-doubt, my advice is: Your voice matters. Write it down and share it. 1．A．sympathy B．observing C．understanding D．forgiveness 2．A．witnessed B．ignored C．remembered D．buried 3．A．troubles B．events C．appearances D．remarks 4．A．danger B．doubt C．panic D．pride 5．A．writing B．crying C．reading D．whispering 6．A．Generally B．Recently C．Occasionally D．Suddenly 7．A．explaining B．changing C．sharing D．reflecting 8．A．continued B．lightened C．deepened D．surfaced 9．A．leaked out B．turned up C．took off D．poured in 10．A．earnings B．dreams C．struggles D．complaints 11．A．wander B．speak C．defend D．discuss 12．A．encouragement B．treatment C．assessment D．commitment 13．A．identity B．accent C．pain D．voice 14．A．decision B．reward C．purpose D．suggestion 15．A．wrestling B．monitoring C．analyzing D．considering Passage 7 Qiu Yueqi, born in 2000, is a PhD student at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. In 2025, she 1 the Young Investigator Award at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance (磁共振) in Medicine (ISMRM) meeting. She was the only winner of this award in the world that year, and the first Chinese 2 to receive this honor. Her 3 started in 2018 when she entered university. In class, she first learned about MRI technology — a(n) 4 that helps see the inside of the body — and became 5 interested in it. But the road was not easy. To build their first portable (便携的) MRI scanner (扫描仪), Qiu and her team worked in a dark underground lab for months. They tested the parts and put them together day after day until finally, a clear image (图像) 6 on the screen. What makes her work so 7 ? Traditional MRI machines are very 8 and expensive. Many hospitals in small towns cannot 9 them. Qiu’s research helps make smaller, cheaper MRI machines that can still take good 10 . This means more people, even those in 11 places, can get proper medical examinations. Qiu’s story teaches young people that 12 does not come overnight. It takes hard work, patience, and the courage to keep trying even when things get 13 . As she once said, “Every screw (螺丝) we put in counts (重要).” Whether in science or any other field, small steps every day can 14 big achievements.

In some understandings, Prometheus, 2 took fire away from the gods, clearly shows the deep conflicts between new 3 (arrive) and local people. Later, writers like Percy Shelley (1792-1822) rewrote him as a 4 (fear) hero who went against rulers. This figure touched Chinese thinkers in the early 1900s. They used Prometheus to stand for brave revolutionaries 5 (bring) Marxism into China. “Prometheus remains 6 (wide) known because generation after generation has continued to tell his story.

Doing so requires at least some creators in the cultural ecosystem to strive for complexity, ambiguity, and formal experimentation—attributes that power the masterpieces that draw millions of people every year to museums. The first step in reversing cultural stagnation is to accept that artistic invention is a social good. And like so many other social goods, it isn’t necessarily going to have its production prioritized by the market. We—creators and audiences alike—have to make an effort to encourage bold new forms of culture. Even failures and half steps will be more interesting than overly market-tested products. 【全文翻译】 步入 21 世纪的第 25 个年头，当代文化与上一个千禧年相比已然迥然不同。我们的日常生活充斥着海量内容：源源不断的文字、观点、游戏、歌曲、视频、网络梗图、惊世骇俗的言论、名人情绪失控的闹剧、生活小窍门，还有各种天赋异禀的动物。但受众能够察觉到其中的缺失。尽管当今社会在文化领域投入了巨大精力，真正具有新意的作品却寥寥无几，更谈不上诞生足以彻底淘汰旧时代成果的革命性作品。 部分评论者提出，文化发展已经陷入停滞。法国政治学家奥利维耶・罗伊所著的《文化危机》于 2024 年推出英译本，书中提出：经典正统作品遭到抛弃，亚文化沦为流于表面的身份标签群体，商业市场吞噬了一切。但作为一份完整的现状研判，这种观点未免过于悲观。从广义层面来说，文化永远不会消亡，亚文化也依旧存在；只不过如今引人瞩目的亚文化变少了，其影响力也大不如前。经典并未消亡；真正的问题反而是，它给当下投下了过于厚重的阴影。科特・柯本本希望下一代音乐人与听众敢于推翻偶像，其中也包括他自己。可现实却是，年轻人把他的头像印在 T 恤之上。 即便如此，人们对柯本以及其他 20 世纪传奇艺术家挥之不去的崇敬，折射出整个集体对激进文化变革推动者根深蒂固的敬畏。当下我们所缺失的，是对艺术创作思维本身的推崇。这种创作思维拥有充沛想象力，拒绝媚俗艺术 —— 也就是那些套用陈旧套路、贩卖刻板情绪、追求直白易懂的作品，转而追寻能够拓宽人类感知边界的创作。想要实现这一点，文化生态中至少要有一部分创作者，主动去追求作品的复杂性、多义性与形式创新；正是这些特质，造就了那些每年吸引数百万观众走进博物馆的传世杰作。 想要扭转文化停滞的局面，第一步就是承认：艺术创新是一种社会价值。而和许多社会价值一样，市场未必会将艺术创新放在优先生产的位置。无论是创作者还是受众，我们都必须主动去鼓励大胆的新型文化表达。即便是失败之作、半成品，也远比经过市场反复打磨、毫无风险的流水线产品更有价值。 【核心词汇】 ( 1 / 13 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1. markedly adv. 显著地，明显地 2. millennium n. 千禧年，一千年 3. reel n. 一连串，卷轴 4. meme n. 网络梗，模因 5. outrageous adj. 骇人的，惊世骇俗的 6. meltdown n. 情绪崩溃，失控 7. revolutionary adj. 革命性的 8. outmode v. 使过时，淘汰 9. standstill n. 停滞，静止 10. canon n. 经典作品集，正统经典 11. subculture n. 亚文化 12. superficial adj. 表面的，肤浅的 13. conspicuous adj. 显眼的，引人注目的 14. lingering adj. 挥之不去的，久久留存的 15. reverence n. 崇敬，敬畏 16. larger‑than‑life adj. 传奇式的，非同凡响的 17. veneration n. 推崇，敬仰 18. kitsch n. 媚俗艺术，庸俗作品 19. well‑worn formulas 陈旧套路 20. stock emotions 刻板俗套的情绪 21. comprehensibility n. 通俗易懂 22. perception n. 感知，认知 23. ambiguity n. 多义性，模糊感 24. formal experimentation 形式创新 25. stagnation n. 停滞 26. social good 社会公益，社会价值 27. prioritize v. 把……优先对待 28. half step n. 半成品，不完满的尝试 【长难句分析】 1.For all the energy society invests in culture today, little has emerged that feels new, and certainly nothing revolutionary enough to properly outmode the past. 句意：尽管当今社会在文化上投入了大量精力，但几乎没有什么新的东西出现，当然也没有任何足以彻底取代过去的革命性事物。 分析：本句是一个并列复合句。“For all the energy society invests in culture today”是让步状语，其中“society invests in culture today”是省略了关系代词that的定语从句，修饰先行词“energy”；“little has emerged”是主句部分，“that feels new”是定语从句，修饰先行词“little”；“and”连接两个并列部分，“nothing revolutionary enough to properly outmode the past”中“revolutionary enough to properly outmode the past”是后置定语，修饰“nothing”。 2.

But the industry has faced persistent challenges: high energy costs, technical failures, and questions about whether it can grow anything beyond leafy greens. Now, a new wave of vertical farms is emerging, backed by major investors and advances in LED lighting and automation. In cities like Newark, New Jersey, massive indoor farms now produce up to 2 million pounds of greens per year in spaces the size of a grocery store. These farms use hydroponic systems that deliver nutrients directly to plant roots, eliminating the need for soil and allowing year-round production independent of the weather. “We can grow anywhere,” said one industry executive. “We’re not dependent on climate, and we’re not dependent on seasons. We can put a farm in the middle of a city and deliver produce the same day it’s harvested.” The environmental benefits are significant. Vertical farming uses up to 95% less water than conventional agriculture and eliminates the carbon emissions associated with long-distance transportation. With produce often traveling thousands of miles from farm to plate, local indoor farming offers an appealing alternative. Yet skepticism remains. Critics point to the enormous energy consumption required to power LED lights and climate control systems. A vertical farm can use as much electricity as a small town, and unless that energy comes from renewable sources, the carbon footprint can exceed that of traditional farming. Additionally, the technology remains expensive — construction costs for a single facility can exceed $100 million. Perhaps the biggest limitation is what vertical farms can actually grow. The economics only work for high-value, fast-growing crops like lettuce, herbs, and microgreens. Staple crops like wheat, rice, and corn — which feed the majority of the world’s population — are unlikely to ever be producible in vertical farms. Despite these challenges, proponents argue that vertical farming is not meant to replace traditional agriculture but to complement it. In an increasingly urbanized world with growing climate pressures, having a reliable source of fresh produce grown within cities may prove invaluable. As one researcher put it, “This isn’t about growing all our food indoors. It’s about building resilience into our food system.” 1．What can we learn about vertical farming from paragraph 1? A．It offers methods to cut farming costs. B．It reflects expectations plus real challenges. C．It shows the popularity of vertical farming. D．It proves vertical farming improves food output. 2．What’s the strength of hydroponic systems? A．It helps reduce the amount of energy consumption. B．It makes the growth of indoor staple crops possible. C．It can be operated without soil and weather limits. D．It allows farmers to expand food production easily. 3．Which of the following do critics probably agree on? A．Developing vertical farms needs careful consideration. B．Using new technology needs lower construction costs. C．Improving traditional farming needs little public support. D．Cutting the cost of facilities in a small town needs action. 4．What is the author’s attitude towards vertical farming? A．Objective and reasonable. B．Skeptical and opposed. C．Doubtful and pessimistic. D．Supportive and confident. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍垂直农业，阐述其发展优势、现存争议与发展局限，指出垂直农业并非要取代传统农业，而是作为补充完善粮食供给体系。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For years, vertical farming has been promoted as the future of agriculture — a way to grow massive amounts of food in climate-controlled warehouses, using far less water and land than traditional farming. But the industry has faced persistent challenges: high energy costs, technical failures, and questions about whether it can grow anything beyond leafy greens.(多年来，垂直农业一直被推崇为农业的未来——一种在气候控制的仓库中种植大量粮食的方法，相较于传统农业大幅节水省地。但该行业面临着持续的挑战：高昂的能源成本、技术故障，同时人们也质疑它除了绿叶蔬菜外能否种植其他作物。)”可知，本段既阐述了人们对垂直农业的高度期待（未来农业、高效节水节地），也指出了其面临的现实挑战（高成本、技术故障、作物单一）。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“These farms use hydroponic systems that deliver nutrients directly to plant roots, eliminating the need for soil and allowing year-round production independent of the weather.(这类农场采用水培系统，直接将养分输送至植物根部，无需土壤，且不受天气制约，可全年不间断生产。)”可知，水培系统的核心优势在于摆脱了对土壤的依赖，同时不受季节与天气限制。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Yet skepticism remains. Critics point to the enormous energy consumption required to power LED lights and climate control systems. A vertical farm can use as much electricity as a small town, and unless that energy comes from renewable sources, the carbon footprint can exceed that of traditional farming. Additionally, the technology remains expensive — construction costs for a single facility can exceed $100 million.(但质疑之声依旧存在。批评者指出，LED照明与气候控制系统会消耗巨量电力。一座垂直农场的耗电量堪比一座小镇，若能源并非来自可再生能源，其碳足迹会超过传统农业。除此之外，技术造价高昂——单座农场的建设成本可超1亿美元。)”可知，批评者认为垂直农业能耗高、建设成本昂贵，存在明显短板，由此可推断他们会认同发展垂直农业需要谨慎考量。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The environmental benefits are significant. Vertical farming uses up to 95% less water than conventional agriculture and eliminates the carbon emissions associated with long-distance transportation.(环保优势十分突出。相比传统农业，垂直农业最多可节约95%的水资源，还能省去长途运输产生的碳排放。)”、第五段中的“Yet skepticism remains. Critics point to the enormous energy consumption required to power LED lights and climate control systems. A vertical farm can use as much electricity as a small town, and unless that energy comes from renewable sources, the carbon footprint can exceed that of traditional farming. Additionally, the technology remains expensive — construction costs for a single facility can exceed $100 million.(但质疑之声依旧存在。批评者指出，LED照明与气候控制系统会消耗巨量电力。一座垂直农场的耗电量堪比一座小镇，若能源并非来自可再生能源，其碳足迹会超过传统农业。除此之外，技术造价高昂——单座农场的建设成本可超1亿美元。)”以及第七段中的“Despite these challenges, proponents argue that vertical farming is not meant to replace traditional agriculture but to complement it. In an increasingly urbanized world with growing climate pressures, having a reliable source of fresh produce grown within cities may prove invaluable.(尽管存在上述种种挑战，支持者认为垂直农业并非旨在取代传统农业，而是对其形成补充。在城市化程度不断加深、气候压力日益加剧的世界中，在城市内部拥有可靠新鲜农产品来源，可能是极有价值的。)”可知，文章既客观陈述垂直农业节水、低碳运输等优点，也如实呈现能耗高、造价高昂等争议点，完整呈现批评者与支持者双方不同看法，作者未偏向任意一方，既承认问题，也认可价值，由此可推断作者对垂直农业持客观理性的态度。         Passage 2 It began in the 1980s as a way to quickly produce simple prototype models in plastic. These days 3D printing or "additive manufacturing" is used to make kitchen gadgets, jet-engine parts, dental implants and even some buildings. In a paper published in Science Advances, a team of researchers led by Yong Lin Kong and his colleagues at Rice University propose another application. They have come up with a way to print electronic circuits onto delicate materials, including living tissue. The researchers hope that could eventually lead to medical implants that wirelessly monitor the condition of their recipients, high tech pills and more. 3D printing circuitry is not a new idea. Nano Dimension, for instance, prints electronics into communication equipment and medical sensors. Printers made by Optomec, build antennas directly into smartphone cases, as well as printing circuits onto touch screens and solar panels. The process uses electronic inks that contain tiny particles of conductive material, such as copper, silver or gold. The particles are then joined together to form a conductive pathway, usually by a process known as annealing, which involves either heating the entire product in furnace (熔炉), or attacking the inks with a laser. But that approach has limits, says Dr. Kong. The heat can damage sensitive materials, including some polymers and living tissue. His team has developed a way to deal with electronic inks using microwaves focused into a beam smaller than a human hair. The precision of the beam ensures that only the ink particles heat up, avoiding any damage to the surrounding substances. The researchers produced a special resonator (谐振器) to boost the microwave energy and a tapered tip to focus the beam into a dot less than 200 millionths of a meter across. The kit is small enough to be fitted to a desktop 3D printer. By adjusting the power of the beam, it is possible to change the microstructure of the ink. This can be used to create regions of higher or lower conductivity along the circuit, allowing some components, such as resistors (电阻), to be created within the wiring. This capability opens the door to printing electronic circuits directly onto heat-sensitive materials like flexible plastics or even human skin. 1．What new progress has Kong’s research team achieved? A．It makes plastic industrial models. B．It develops wires for high tech pills. C．It produces parts for aircraft engines. D．It prints circuits on fragile substances. 2．What does the underlined word “annealing” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．A heating method to combine metal particles. B．A physical means to store conductive metal ink mixtures. C．A technical operation to narrow focused microwave beams. D．A burning treatment to remove particles from electronic inks. 3．What is the key breakthrough of Dr. Kong’s research team? A．A new type of conductive electronic ink. B．An approach to heating the ink accurately. C．A 3D printer working faster than traditional ones. D．A method of using microwave at room temperature. 4．What will the following paragraph most probably discuss? A．The ways to improve desktop 3D-printing quality. B．The potential applications of the new technology. C．The major limitations of 3D printing techniques. D．The working principles of the special resonator. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．B 【导语】文章主要介绍了3D打印技术的新进展——莱斯大学Kong的研究团队研发出可在包括活体组织在内的脆弱热敏材料上打印电路的新型技术，同时说明了该技术的原理与优势。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They have come up with a way to print electronic circuits onto delicate materials, including living tissue. (他们提出了一种将电子电路打印到包括活体组织在内的脆弱材料上的方法。)”可推知，Kong的研究团队取得的新进展是可以在脆弱的物质上打印电路。 2．词句猜测题。根据文章第四段划线词的前文“The particles are then joined together to form a conductive pathway (这些颗粒随后结合在一起形成导电路径)和后文“which involves either heating the entire product in furnace, or attacking the inks with a laser. (该过程要么在熔炉中加热整个产品，要么用激光作用于墨水。)”可推知，划线词annealing指的是一种将金属颗粒结合的加热方法。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“His team has developed a way to deal with electronic inks using microwaves focused into a beam smaller than a human hair. The precision of the beam ensures that only the ink particles heat up, avoiding any damage to the surrounding substances. (他的团队研发出一种用聚焦成比人类头发还细的波束的微波处理电子墨水的方法，该波束的精度确保只有墨水颗粒被加热，不会对周围物质造成任何损伤。)”可推知，该团队的关键突破是精准加热墨水的方法。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This capability opens the door to printing electronic circuits directly onto heat-sensitive materials like flexible plastics or even human skin. (这一能力为将电子电路直接打印到柔性塑料甚至人类皮肤等热敏材料上打开了大门。)”可推知，接下来最有可能介绍这项新技术的相关潜在应用。 Passage 3 AI glasses, one of the most cutting-edge smart wearables, are jointly developed and produced by leading Chinese tech research teams.

They break language barriers efficiently, free people from heavy mobile phones, and perfectly combine ancient daily wearing habits with futuristic high technology.(和传统可穿戴设备相比，这款AI眼镜拥有独特的竞争优势。它高效打破语言壁垒，让人们摆脱笨重手机的束缚，将古老的日常佩戴习惯与未来高科技完美融合。)”可知，第四段主要目的是凸显这款AI眼镜先进的自身优势。 4．词句猜测题。根据原文第五段“In competition with international rivals, Chinese industry researchers hold all the cards.(在与国际竞争对手的较量中，中国行业研发人员hold all the cards)”及““We are no longer followers; in key technologies like diffractive waveguides, we have taken the lead,” said Dr. Meng, a leading Chinese developer in the field.(“我们不再是追赶者；在衍射光波导这类关键技术领域，我们已经取得领先地位。” 该领域国内核心研发专家孟博士说道。)”可知，短语hold all the cards表达了中国研发人员掌握技术优势，充满信心。 Passage 4 Cloud storage (云储存) is a flexible and convenient way to store data with complete peace of mind. It enables you to store your data on distant servers. 1 In this way, the space on your computer won’t be taken up. There are two options available: public cloud storage allows you to share hosting space with other users; private cloud storage is the ideal choice for companies who want to have their data stored in their own environment. 2 Once you have registered and set up your account, you simply save your files via the Internet using your username and password. This ensures your data remains secure and inaccessible to anyone else. Should you choose, you can put certain permissions in place, which makes it easy to share your data with your colleagues or your family. When you sign up to cloud storage, you can choose the amount of space you need. 3 You can store anything digital: all your files, videos and pictures. Whether you want to use this storage solution to store your family photographs or you want to use it to store your work documentation, you will find it quite convenient. Is it better than your computer or an external drive (驱动)? The answer is a definite yes. 4 This is the most common cause of lost work and memories. External hard drives can still break, or fail. Here you also have the added risk of misplacing it or having it stolen. There are so many advantages to cloud computing, from the ability to access your data from wherever, whenever, to not needing expensive external storage devices. 5 A．Computers crash all the time. B．Cloud storage is very simple to use. C．You will find cloud storage very cheap. D．This means you can store all your digital things remotely. E．Cloud storage providers offer many layers of data security. F．You can start with a small amount and increase the storage size later on. G．The only disadvantage, however, is that you need the Internet to access files. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．F 4．A 5．G 【导语】文章介绍了云存储是一种灵活、方便、完全放心的数据存储方式。它有很多优点，但也有唯一缺点是你需要互联网来访问文件。 【详解】1．根据上文“Cloud storage (云储存) is a flexible and convenient way to store data with complete peace of mind. It enables you to store your data on distant servers.(云存储是一种灵活便捷的数据存储方式，让您能够安心无忧地保存数据，并将数据存储在远程服务器上)”可知，空前说明云存储可将数据存放在远程服务器，D项“这意味着你可以远程存储所有数字内容”承接上文，空后“这样电脑空间就不会被占用”也与之逻辑连贯。 2．根据后文“Once you have registered and set up your account, you simply save your files via the Internet using your username and password. This ensures your data remains secure and inaccessible to anyone else. Should you choose, you can put certain permissions in place, which makes it easy to share your data with your colleagues or your family.(注册并设置好账户后，您只需使用用户名和密码通过互联网保存文件。这可确保您的数据安全，防止他人访问。如果您需要，还可以设置特定权限，方便与同事或家人共享数据)”可知，空后介绍注册账号后只需用用户名密码联网保存文件的简易操作，B项“云存储使用非常简单”作为该段主旨句，契合段落内容。 3．根据上文“When you sign up to cloud storage, you can choose the amount of space you need.(注册云存储时，你可以选择所需的存储空间大小)”可知，空前提到注册云存储时可选择所需空间大小，F项“你可以从小容量起步，后续再扩容”承接空间选择的话题，逻辑通顺。 4．根据上文“Is it better than your computer or an external drive (驱动)? The answer is a definite yes.(它比你的电脑或外接硬盘更好吗？答案是肯定的)”以及后文“This is the most common cause of lost work and memories. External hard drives can still break, or fail.(这是导致工作丢失和回忆类资料丢失最常见的原因。外置硬盘仍然可能发生损坏或故障)”可知，前文设问云存储是否比电脑或外置硬盘更好，给出肯定答案，空后说明这是丢失工作资料和回忆的最常见原因，A项“电脑总会崩溃”对应后文的资料丢失诱因，符合语境。 5．根据上文“This is the most common cause of lost work and memories. External hard drives can still break, or fail. Here you also have the added risk of misplacing it or having it stolen. There are so many advantages to cloud computing, from the ability to access your data from wherever, whenever, to not needing expensive external storage devices.(这是导致工作丢失和回忆类资料丢失最常见的原因。外置硬盘仍然可能发生损坏或故障，而且你还面临设备丢失或被盗的额外风险。云计算具有诸多优势，例如可以随时随地访问数据，又无需使用昂贵的外部存储设备)”可知，前文列举了云计算的诸多优势，G项“然而它唯一的缺点是你需要联网才能访问文件”补充说明云存储的局限性，作为段落收尾逻辑完整。 Passage 5 Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been one of the most revolutionary technologies in recent decades, and its future development holds even more astonishing prospects. One significant trend is the continuous expansion of AI applications. For instance, in the transportation sector, self-driving vehicles are expected to become more common and reliable.

This will lead to more effective prevention and cures. Another trend is the improvement of AI’s cognitive (认知的) abilities. AI will be able to understand and generate natural language more skillfully. 3 . Therefore, it will promote global communication and cooperation. Virtual assistants will also become more intelligent and human-like. They are able to have in-depth and meaningful conversations with users, understanding their emotions and intentions better. 4 . Smart factories will emerge (出现). Here AI-powered robots and machines can work together efficiently. They can improve production processes, detect faults in real-time, and adjust production parameters (参数) automatically, leading to higher productivity and quality control. Obviously, the future of AI technology is filled with unlimited possibilities. 5 , bringing about greater convenience, efficiency and progress. A．It can be used for personalised medicine B．The cost of developing AI remains extremely high C．It will reshape various industries and aspects of our lives D．It can monitor patients’ vital signs continuously in hospitals E．They’ll also reduce the number of accidents caused by human errors F．There’s no doubt that AI will fuel innovation in industrial production G．This means cross-language translation will be highly accurate and fluent 【答案】1．E 2．A 3．G 4．F 5．C 【导语】文章主要介绍了人工智能（AI）作为一项革命性技术的未来发展趋势，包括AI应用的持续扩展、认知能力的提升以及对工业生产的推动，并指出AI将为人类带来更大的便利、效率和进步。 【详解】1．上文“They will improve traffic efficiency. (它们将提高交通效率。)”介绍了自动驾驶汽车的优势，下文“It’s expected that in the near future, self-driving cars will be a mainstream mode of transportation. (预计在不久的将来，自动驾驶汽车将成为主流交通方式。)”继续展望其前景。E项“They’ll also reduce the number of accidents caused by human errors (它们还将减少由人为错误造成的事故数量)”中的They指代self-driving vehicles，also表明是对上文优势的补充，与上下文构成递进关系，符合语境。 2．上文“In the field of healthcare, AI will play an increasingly crucial role.

In some understandings, Prometheus, 2 took fire away from the gods, clearly shows the deep conflicts between new 3 (arrive) and local people. Later, writers like Percy Shelley (1792-1822) rewrote him as a 4 (fear) hero who went against rulers. This figure touched Chinese thinkers in the early 1900s. They used Prometheus to stand for brave revolutionaries 5 (bring) Marxism into China. “Prometheus remains 6 (wide) known because generation after generation has continued to tell his story. People have interpreted 7 shared it in different ways.” says Huang Yue, a professor of comparative mythology at Beijing University. Traditionally 8 (define) as the study, translation and interpretation of ancient Greek and Roman texts, classical studies 9 (become) active again in recent years, especially after the World Conference of Classics held in Beijing in 2024. The event brought together more than 400 scholars from over 30 countries and regions 10 (discuss) the contemporary relevance and global significance of classical studies. 【答案】 1．the 2．who 3．arrivals 4．fearless 5．bringing 6．widely 7．and 8．defined 9．have become 10．to discuss 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了普罗米修斯的故事历经不断重新解读。正如黄悦所说，经典作品持续吸引人。近些年古典研究再度兴起，各国学者汇聚探讨其当代价值。 【详解】1．考查冠词。句意：普罗米修斯的故事历经数个世纪的重述，已从一场权力斗争演变为革命与新思想传播的象征。此处特指“普罗米修斯的故事”，后有of Prometheus作限定修饰，表特指用定冠词the。 2．考查定语从句。句意：在某些解读中，普罗米修斯夺走神火的行为，清晰地展现了外来者与本地居民之间的深刻矛盾。分析句子可知，设空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是 Prometheus，从句中缺少主语，非限制性定语从句指人作主语用关系代词who，不可用that。 3．考查名词。句意：在某些解读中，普罗米修斯夺走神火的行为，清晰地展现了外来者与本地居民之间的深刻矛盾。形容词 new后接名词，与后文local people对应，表“新来者”；arrive的名词形式为 arrival，此处表一类人，用复数arrivals。 4．考查形容词。句意：后来，珀西·雪莱（1792–1822）等作家将他重新塑造为一位反抗统治者的无畏英雄。修饰名词hero需用形容词；结合后文“反抗统治者”的语境，此处表示 “无畏的英雄”，将名词fear变为形容词 fearless（无畏的）。 5．考查非谓语动词。句意：他们用普罗米修斯来代表把马克思主义带到中国的勇敢的革命者。句中已有谓语stand for，此处作后置定语修饰revolutionaries；革命者与 “传播马克思主义”是主动关系，用现在分词bringing。 6．考查副词。句意：普罗米修斯之所以至今仍广为人知，是因为代代相传不断讲述他的故事。修饰形容词known需用副词；wide 的副词形式为widely，widely known表示“广为人知的”。 7．考查连词。句意：北京大学比较神话学教授黄悦表示：“人们以各式各样的方式解读并传播这个故事。”分析句子可知，interpreted（解读）与 shared（传播）是两个并列的谓语动词，动作顺承，用并列连词and连接。 8．考查非谓语动词。句意：传统上，古典研究被定义为对古希腊和罗马文献的研究、翻译与阐释。近年来，尤其是2024年在北京举行的“世界古典学大会”之后，古典研究再度活跃起来。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，句子主语 classical studies，与define（定义）是被动关系，即“被定义为”，用过去分词作状语，构成defined as...结构。 9．考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：传统上，古典研究被定义为对古希腊和罗马文献的研究、翻译与阐释。近年来，尤其是2024年在北京举行的“世界古典学大会”之后，古典研究再度活跃起来。时间标志in recent years（近年来）是现在完成时的典型标志；主语classical studies为复数，所以为have become的填入。 10．考查动词不定式。句意：此次活动汇集了来自30多个国家和地区的400多位学者，讨论古典研究的当代相关性和全球意义。根据句意可知，学者齐聚一堂的目的是“讨论古典研究的当代价值”，表目的用不定式to discuss作目的状语。 迁移应用篇 一、补全句子 1. ________________________（当我们将现代创意融入传统技艺），we can give ancient arts entirely new vitality. 2.
