Here, we’ve gathered some lovely finds for you, hoping you’ll pause from the hustle and enjoy these wonderful moments that brighten life.(当日常琐事和压力让生活变得乏味时，我们身边总有美好的小乐趣和独特的体验等待发现。在这里，我们为你收集了一些美好的去处，希望你能停下忙碌，享受这些点亮生活的美好瞬间)”可知，本文目的是推荐令人愉悦的短途度假地。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Four Seasons Hotel标题下“To mark the arrival of summer, Four Seasons Hotel has opened its seasonal patio. With a new menu and annual mural installation, it shows respect for the French Riviera and Mediterranean coastline. The mural is created by Victoria Sequeira, who says, “I want to spark a visual journey for guests — one full of warmth, peace and a touch of Mediterranean magic.”(为了迎接夏天的到来，四季酒店开放了季节性露台。凭借新菜单和年度壁画装置，它向法国里维埃拉和地中海海岸线致敬。这幅壁画由维多利亚・塞克拉创作，她说：“我想为客人开启一段视觉之旅 —— 一段充满温暖、宁静和一丝地中海魅力的旅程。”)”可知，如果你是壁画爱好者，可以选择四季酒店。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Copperwood Trail标题下“This peaceful family farm is committed to providing a safe, quiet rural escape for all visitors eager for close contact with animals and nature.(这个宁静的家庭农场致力于为所有渴望与动物和自然亲密接触的游客提供一个安全、安静的乡村避风港。)”和Green Hill Gardens标题下“Tucked away in the quiet countryside, the family-run Green Hill Gardens has a decades-long history.(坐落在宁静的乡村，家族经营的青山花园有着数十年的历史)”可知，两者的共同点是都由家族经营管理。故选A项。 B Terri Bolton is a dab hand when it comes to DIY (do-it-yourself). Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself. She credits these skills to her late grandfather and builder Derek Lloyd. From the age of six, Terri, now 26, accompanied Derek to work during her school holidays. A day’s work was rewarded with £5 in pocket money. She says: “I’m sure I wasn’t much of a help to start with. But when Derek built our family house about eight years ago, I was heavily involved, painting the rooms and putting down the flooring throughout the house. It took weeks and it was back-breaking work, but I know he was proud of my skills.” Terri, who now rents a house with friends in Wandsworth, South West London, says DIY also saves her from losing any deposit when a tenancy (租期) comes to an end. She adds: “I’ve moved house many times and I always like to personalize my room and put up pictures. So, it’s been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I’ve moved out.” With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over the coming weeks, new research shows that more than half of people are planning to make the most of the long, warm summer days to get jobs done. The average spend per project will be around £823. Two thirds of people aim to improve their comfort while at home. A fifth wish to increase the value of their houses. Though DIY has traditionally been seen as a male hobby, the research shows it is women now leading the charge. 4. Which is closest in meaning to “a dab hand” in paragraph 1? A. A realist. B. A specialist. C. An engineer. D. A pioneer. 5. Why did Terri’s grandfather give her £5 a day? A. For a birthday gift. B. As a reward for her work. C. To support her DIY projects. D. To encourage her to take up a hobby. 6. How did Terri avoid losing the deposit on the house she rented? A. By making it look like before. B. By furnishing it herself. C. By splitting the rent with a roommate. D. By canceling the rental agreement. 7. What trend in DIY does the research show? A. It is becoming more costly. B. It is getting more time-consuming. C. It is gaining popularity among females. D. It is turning into a seasonal industry. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了Terri从小习得DIY本领并借此租房时保住押金，同时最新研究显示如今女性正成为DIY的主力军。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself. (她擅长安装架子和组装家具，从不花钱请别人做她自己能做的工作)”可知，Terri在DIY方面非常熟练，是一位能手，因此a dab hand意为“能手，内行”，与specialist意思最接近。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“From the age of six, Terri, now 26, accompanied Derek to work during her school holidays. A day’s work was rewarded with £5 in pocket money. (从六岁起，现已26岁的Terri在学校假期期间陪伴Derek去工作。一天的工作会得到5英镑零花钱作为奖励)”可知，祖父每天给她5英镑是作为她工作的报酬。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I’ve moved house many times and I always like to personalize my room and put up pictures. So, it’s been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I’ve moved out. (我搬过很多次家，我总是喜欢把房间个性化并贴上照片。所以，知道如何掩盖洞和重新粉刷房间以避免我搬出去时产生任何费用是很有用的)”可知，她通过重新粉刷、遮盖孔洞等方式让房间恢复原貌，从而避免扣除押金。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Though DIY has traditionally been seen as a male hobby, the research shows it is women now leading the charge. (尽管DIY传统上被视为男性的爱好，但研究表明，现在是女性在引领这一潮流)”可知，研究显示DIY在女性中越来越受欢迎，女性正成为主力。 C Brands have spent years perfecting video marketing strategies. Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people, according to research from video creation platform Animoto. That preference holds as AI video tools flood the market and brands race to create more content faster. The finding comes from Animoto’s State of Video 2026 report, based on a survey of 460 American consumers and marketers. As AI generates full videos from text prompts (提示), the truth remains: People still want to see other people. The preference for human faces isn’t just about aesthetics (美学). More than 82% of consumers report watching videos that they believe were AI-generated, and among that group, 36% say it lowers their trust in the brand behind it. This creates a problem with the numbers for marketers. Even if AI tools can help produce videos faster, the resulting content may raise doubt that destroys the entire purpose of making the video in the first place. Separate research cited in the report found that 88% of consumers consider brand trust as important as price and quality when making purchases. Three-quarters of US adults think it’s extremely or very important to know whether images, videos, or text were created by AI or people. This trust loss appears regardless of whether audiences correctly identify AI content. The survey showed that consumers believe they can spot AI-generated videos based on “an entire set of signals” and contextual mismatches, according to respondent Olga Mirkovic. Whether they’re right doesn’t matter. Perception alone affects how they view the brand. Surveyed marketing professionals aren’t trying to remove humans from their videos. Despite pressure to produce more content faster, marketers still want control over which footage to use, how to present their brand voice, and when to put themselves on camera. Roya Safarian, a survey respondent, explained the balance: “AI can enhance storytelling as long as the brand still keeps a human touch. The key is balance: Technology should support the message, not replace the genuine voice behind it.” 8. What is the most effective trust-building video marketing strategy? A. Making videos featuring real people. B. Using AI to generate videos quickly. C. Updating video production fashion. D. Producing true video content faster. 9. In what circumstances does the trust loss occur? A. When video aesthetics are poor. B. When video production speeds up. C. When AI content is perceived. D. When brand trust is compared to price. 10. What do marketing professionals suggest AI be used for in video-making? A. Generating videos automatically. B. Aiding in content creation as a tool. C. Controlling brand voice directly. D. Replacing human presenters entirely. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Contrasting AI and Human-made Videos B. Building Consumer Trust with AI Videos C. Facing Trust Crisis in AI-generated Videos D. Balancing Technology and Humanity in Videos 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文探讨了视频营销策略。研究发现，消费者更信任包含真人的视频，AI生成的内容可能会降低品牌信任度。因此，营销专家主张平衡技术与人性，让AI辅助而非取代真人，从而保持品牌真实感并建立信任。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people (近78%的消费者相信真人拍摄的视频)”以及“As AI generates full videos from text prompts (提示), the truth remains: People still want to see other people. (虽然人工智能可以根据文本提示生成完整的视频，但事实仍然是：人们仍然希望看到其他人。)”可知，消费者依然信任并希望看到视频中有真人出现。由此可知，建立信任最有效的视频营销策略是制作以真实人物为特色的视频。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This trust loss appears regardless of whether audiences correctly identify AI content. (无论观众是否正确识别人工智能内容，这种信任损失都会出现。)”以及“Perception alone affects how they view the brand. (感知本身就会影响他们对品牌的看法。)”可知，无论观众是否正确识别出AI内容，只要感知到内容是AI生成的，信任缺失就会发生。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Roya Safarian, a survey respondent, explained the balance: “AI can enhance storytelling as long as the brand still keeps a human touch. The key is balance: Technology should support the message, not replace the genuine voice behind it.” (调查受访者罗亚·萨法里安（Roya Safarian）解释了这种平衡：“只要品牌仍然保持人情味，人工智能就可以增强故事情节。关键在于平衡：技术应该支持信息，而不是取代信息背后真实的声音。”)”可知，营销专业人士认为AI应该作为辅助工具来增强叙事效果或支持信息传达，而不是替代人类或直接控制品牌声音。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开头“Brands have spent years perfecting video marketing strategies. Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people, according to research from video creation platform Animoto. That preference holds as AI video tools flood the market and brands race to create more content faster.(品牌花了数年时间完善视频营销策略。根据视频创作平台Animoto的研究，近78%的消费者信任真人制作的视频。随着人工智能视频工具充斥市场，各品牌竞相以更快的速度创造更多内容，这种偏好依然存在。)”指出尽管AI视频工具普及，但人们仍偏爱真人视频以建立信任；第二、三段论述了AI内容可能会导致信任缺失；最后一段指出营销专业人士希望在利用AI技术提高效率的同时，保留人文关怀，强调技术应支持而非替代人类。因此，文章主要讨论了在视频制作中如何在技术（AI）和人性（真人）之间取得平衡。D项“Balancing Technology and Humanity in Videos (在视频创作中平衡科技与人性)”能够概括文章主旨，最适合作为文章标题。故选D。 D Despite decades of medical advances, detecting health-related molecule (分子) still relies on bodily liquids like blood, requiring blood draws from most patients, especially people with diabetes who need frequent finger pricks. However, researchers from the University of Chicago have developed a portable device named ABLE, which collects and detects molecules in the air. This 4×8-inch device is a potential game-changer for medicine and public health. Detecting molecules in the air has long fallen behind liquid detection, mainly because target particles (微粒) are extremely dilute — there may be only one in a trillion. To solve this problem, the team turned air into liquid. The device draws in air, adds water vapor with a humidifier, and cools it to turn air into small drops. These drops trap particles and slide into a small container, making detection easy with common tools used for liquid analysis. Early tests proved its effectiveness. It caught easily evaporated (挥发的) coffee vapor, detected glucose in breath, identified E. coli in the air, and found signs of inflammation (炎症) in mice with unhealthy gut bacteria. Obviously, it solved the problem of capturing molecules that evaporate easily-a major worry during the device’s development. The device was first inspired by the need for non-invasive tests for premature babies in ICUs. These fragile babies are likely to have health problems, and repeated blood tests may put them in danger. Doctors hope the device can track health signs without taking blood, protecting these high-risk patients. It also shows promise for diagnosing inflammatory bowel disease, though the related breath signs first need to be recorded. The team plans to improve and make it smaller to create a wearable device for daily use. Besides medical uses, this achievement may open the door to new physics research on air impurities and state changes of matter. As a new tool for detecting air chemistry, ABLE fills the space between air and liquid molecule analysis, creating possibilities for various new developments in healthcare and science. 12. Why did the researchers develop ABLE? A. To change medicine and public health. B. To take the place of blood tests in hospitals. C. To reduce finger pricks for patients with diabetes. D. To identify health-related molecules without liquid samples. 13. What can we infer about ABLE? A. It is small and wearable for daily use. B. It has overcome a key technical challenge. C. It has proved useful for newly born babies. D. It diagnoses inflammatory bowel disease easily. 14. Who will least likely benefit from ABLE? A. A chemist. B. A psychologist. C. A physician. D. A physicist. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Tool for Bodily Liquid Analysis. B. A Tool for Airborne Particle Capture. C. A Device for Air Molecule Detection. D. A Device for Non-Invasive Health Checks. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了一种名为ABLE的轻便设备，用于空气中分子的检测。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, researchers from the University of Chicago have developed a portable device named ABLE, which collects and detects molecules in the air.(然而，芝加哥大学的研究人员开发出了一种名为“ABLE”的便携式设备，该设备能够收集并检测空气中的分子)”可知，研究人员开发ABLE是为了在不使用液体的情况下识别健康分子。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Early tests proved its effectiveness. It caught easily evaporated (挥发的) coffee vapor, detected glucose in breath, identified E. coli in the air, and found signs of inflammation (炎症) in mice with unhealthy gut bacteria. Obviously, it solved the problem of capturing molecules that evaporate easily-a major worry during the device’s development.(早期测试证明了其有效性。它能够轻易捕捉到挥发的咖啡蒸汽、检测呼气中的葡萄糖、识别空气中的大肠杆菌，并在肠道细菌不健康的实验鼠体内发现炎症迹象。显然，它解决了在设备研发过程中一直存在的一个难题，即如何捕捉那些容易挥发的分子)”可推断，ABLE已经克服了一个关键的技术挑战。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Besides medical uses, this achievement may open the door to new physics research on air impurities and state changes of matter.(除了医疗用途之外，这一成果或许还将为有关空气污染物及物质状态变化的新型物理学研究打开大门)”可知，ABLE对化学家、医生和物理学家都有益处，而心理学家研究的是人的心理现象和行为，与ABLE的用途不相关，因此心理学家不太可能从ABLE中受益。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“However, researchers from the University of Chicago have developed a portable device named ABLE, which collects and detects molecules in the air. This 4×8-inch device is a potential game-changer for medicine and public health.(然而，芝加哥大学的研究人员开发出了一款名为“ABLE”的便携式设备，该设备能够收集并检测空气中的分子。这款 4 英寸乘 8 英寸大小的设备对于医学和公共卫生领域而言，具有潜在的变革性意义)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了一种名为ABLE的轻便设备，用于空气中分子的检测，因此C选项“一种用于空气分子检测的设备”最符合文章主旨，适合作为标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Eyes Are the Prize To protect our hearts, we control the intake of salt and fat.

As their chemistry teacher and class advisor, I watched as our team, led by Tom, the captain, fought hard. Tom’s quick moves and precise passes inspired his teammates. They battled as one, making every play count. The game was intense, with both teams neck and neck. In the final seconds, Tom made a daring drive to the hoop (篮筐), but the opponent scored a last-minute shot. We lost by just one point. The next morning, the classroom was filled with a heavy atmosphere. Tom sat quietly, his head down, still weighed down by the loss. The rest of the class mirrored his mood—silent and withdrawn. It was clear that the defeat had dampened their spirits. I knew I had to do something to lift their spirits and remind them to paying more attention to the process. The first class of the day was chemistry. As I looked at the lesson plan quickly, an idea began to take shape. I quickly prepared the necessary laboratory equipment and walked into the classroom. “Alright, everyone,” I said, trying to get their attention. “I’m going to conduct an experiment, and I want you to observe it carefully. You’ll need to describe what you see afterward.” The room grew a little quieter as curiosity began to catch on. They turned their attention to me, and I could see a sign of interest in their eyes. I picked up a piece of magnesium ribbon (镁条) and held it with a holder. When I brought it close to the burner fire, the ribbon started to flash. The whole class watched the experiment in amazement, their eyes wide open, focusing on my operation in awe. The magnesium ribbon burned away, leaving behind a soft white powder. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 “What impressed you most in the experiment?” I asked. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With my encouragement, Tom opened up and shared more. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: “What impressed you most in the experiment?” I asked. Hands shot up, and one student said, “The magnesium ribbon burned so brightly, even though it turned into powder at the end.” I nodded, “Exactly! It’s like our basketball game. The process of striving, the teamwork, and the effort you put in are what truly matter, not just the final score.” The students seemed to understand, their faces brightening. I could see the wheels turning in their minds as they connected the experiment to their own experiences. With my encouragement, Tom opened up and shared more. “I realized we shouldn’t be too focused on winning or losing,” he said. “We should enjoy the process and learn from it.” The class nodded in agreement. From then on, they started to train harder, focusing on improving their skills rather than just the outcome. Over time, their efforts paid off. In the next school activity, they performed exceptionally well, showing great teamwork and a positive attitude. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者作为化学老师和班主任，在班级篮球比赛失利后，通过化学实验启发学生，最终帮助学生重拾信心，积极面对挫折的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“实验中给你印象最深的是什么？”我问。”可知，第一段可描写学生们分享实验观察结果，作者借此引导学生理解过程比结果更重要的道理，并鼓励学生将这一态度应用到生活中。 ②由第二段首句内容“在我的鼓励下，汤姆敞开心扉，分享了更多。”可知，第二段可描写Tom受到鼓舞后，带领班级同学积极面对挫折，努力训练，最终在后续活动中取得了好成绩。 2.续写线索：提问实验感受——学生分享观察结果——引导理解过程重要性——鼓励应用到生活——Tom受到鼓舞——带领班级积极面对挫折——取得好成绩。 3.词汇激活： 行为类： ①关注：focus on / concentrate on ②享受：enjoy / appreciate ③提升：improve / enhance 情绪类： ①焕发光芒：brighten / light up ②积极的：positive / enthusiastic / active 【点睛】【高分句型1】The magnesium ribbon burned so brightly, even though it turned into powder at the end.(运用了even though引导的让步状语从句) 【高分句型2】The process of striving, the teamwork, and the effort you put in are what truly matter, not just the final score.(运用了省略that引导的定语从句以及what引导的表语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 陕西师大附中2025-2026学年度第二学期期中考试 高二年级英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话读一遍。 1.

Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself. She credits these skills to her late grandfather and builder Derek Lloyd. From the age of six, Terri, now 26, accompanied Derek to work during her school holidays. A day’s work was rewarded with £5 in pocket money. She says: “I’m sure I wasn’t much of a help to start with. But when Derek built our family house about eight years ago, I was heavily involved, painting the rooms and putting down the flooring throughout the house. It took weeks and it was back-breaking work, but I know he was proud of my skills.” Terri, who now rents a house with friends in Wandsworth, South West London, says DIY also saves her from losing any deposit when a tenancy (租期) comes to an end. She adds: “I’ve moved house many times and I always like to personalize my room and put up pictures. So, it’s been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I’ve moved out.” With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over the coming weeks, new research shows that more than half of people are planning to make the most of the long, warm summer days to get jobs done. The average spend per project will be around £823. Two thirds of people aim to improve their comfort while at home. A fifth wish to increase the value of their houses. Though DIY has traditionally been seen as a male hobby, the research shows it is women now leading the charge. 4. Which is closest in meaning to “a dab hand” in paragraph 1? A. A realist. B. A specialist. C. An engineer. D. A pioneer. 5. Why did Terri’s grandfather give her £5 a day? A. For a birthday gift. B. As a reward for her work. C. To support her DIY projects. D. To encourage her to take up a hobby. 6. How did Terri avoid losing the deposit on the house she rented? A. By making it look like before. B. By furnishing it herself. C. By splitting the rent with a roommate. D. By canceling the rental agreement. 7. What trend in DIY does the research show? A. It is becoming more costly. B. It is getting more time-consuming. C. It is gaining popularity among females. D. It is turning into a seasonal industry. C Brands have spent years perfecting video marketing strategies. Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people, according to research from video creation platform Animoto. That preference holds as AI video tools flood the market and brands race to create more content faster. The finding comes from Animoto’s State of Video 2026 report, based on a survey of 460 American consumers and marketers. As AI generates full videos from text prompts (提示), the truth remains: People still want to see other people. The preference for human faces isn’t just about aesthetics (美学). More than 82% of consumers report watching videos that they believe were AI-generated, and among that group, 36% say it lowers their trust in the brand behind it. This creates a problem with the numbers for marketers. Even if AI tools can help produce videos faster, the resulting content may raise doubt that destroys the entire purpose of making the video in the first place. Separate research cited in the report found that 88% of consumers consider brand trust as important as price and quality when making purchases. Three-quarters of US adults think it’s extremely or very important to know whether images, videos, or text were created by AI or people. This trust loss appears regardless of whether audiences correctly identify AI content. The survey showed that consumers believe they can spot AI-generated videos based on “an entire set of signals” and contextual mismatches, according to respondent Olga Mirkovic. Whether they’re right doesn’t matter. Perception alone affects how they view the brand. Surveyed marketing professionals aren’t trying to remove humans from their videos. Despite pressure to produce more content faster, marketers still want control over which footage to use, how to present their brand voice, and when to put themselves on camera. Roya Safarian, a survey respondent, explained the balance: “AI can enhance storytelling as long as the brand still keeps a human touch. The key is balance: Technology should support the message, not replace the genuine voice behind it.” 8. What is the most effective trust-building video marketing strategy? A. Making videos featuring real people. B. Using AI to generate videos quickly. C. Updating video production fashion. D. Producing true video content faster. 9. In what circumstances does the trust loss occur? A. When video aesthetics are poor. B. When video production speeds up. C. When AI content is perceived. D. When brand trust is compared to price. 10. What do marketing professionals suggest AI be used for in video-making? A. Generating videos automatically. B. Aiding in content creation as a tool. C. Controlling brand voice directly. D. Replacing human presenters entirely. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Contrasting AI and Human-made Videos B. Building Consumer Trust with AI Videos C. Facing Trust Crisis in AI-generated Videos D. Balancing Technology and Humanity in Videos D Despite decades of medical advances, detecting health-related molecule (分子) still relies on bodily liquids like blood, requiring blood draws from most patients, especially people with diabetes who need frequent finger pricks. However, researchers from the University of Chicago have developed a portable device named ABLE, which collects and detects molecules in the air. This 4×8-inch device is a potential game-changer for medicine and public health. Detecting molecules in the air has long fallen behind liquid detection, mainly because target particles (微粒) are extremely dilute — there may be only one in a trillion. To solve this problem, the team turned air into liquid. The device draws in air, adds water vapor with a humidifier, and cools it to turn air into small drops. These drops trap particles and slide into a small container, making detection easy with common tools used for liquid analysis. Early tests proved its effectiveness. It caught easily evaporated (挥发的) coffee vapor, detected glucose in breath, identified E. coli in the air, and found signs of inflammation (炎症) in mice with unhealthy gut bacteria. Obviously, it solved the problem of capturing molecules that evaporate easily-a major worry during the device’s development. The device was first inspired by the need for non-invasive tests for premature babies in ICUs. These fragile babies are likely to have health problems, and repeated blood tests may put them in danger. Doctors hope the device can track health signs without taking blood, protecting these high-risk patients. It also shows promise for diagnosing inflammatory bowel disease, though the related breath signs first need to be recorded. The team plans to improve and make it smaller to create a wearable device for daily use. Besides medical uses, this achievement may open the door to new physics research on air impurities and state changes of matter. As a new tool for detecting air chemistry, ABLE fills the space between air and liquid molecule analysis, creating possibilities for various new developments in healthcare and science. 12. Why did the researchers develop ABLE? A. To change medicine and public health. B. To take the place of blood tests in hospitals. C. To reduce finger pricks for patients with diabetes. D. To identify health-related molecules without liquid samples. 13. What can we infer about ABLE? A. It is small and wearable for daily use. B. It has overcome a key technical challenge. C. It has proved useful for newly born babies. D. It diagnoses inflammatory bowel disease easily. 14. Who will least likely benefit from ABLE? A. A chemist. B. A psychologist. C. A physician. D. A physicist. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Tool for Bodily Liquid Analysis. B. A Tool for Airborne Particle Capture. C. A Device for Air Molecule Detection. D.

As their chemistry teacher and class advisor, I watched as our team, led by Tom, the captain, fought hard. Tom’s quick moves and precise passes inspired his teammates. They battled as one, making every play count. The game was intense, with both teams neck and neck. In the final seconds, Tom made a daring drive to the hoop (篮筐), but the opponent scored a last-minute shot. We lost by just one point. The next morning, the classroom was filled with a heavy atmosphere. Tom sat quietly, his head down, still weighed down by the loss. The rest of the class mirrored his mood—silent and withdrawn. It was clear that the defeat had dampened their spirits. I knew I had to do something to lift their spirits and remind them to paying more attention to the process. The first class of the day was chemistry. As I looked at the lesson plan quickly, an idea began to take shape. I quickly prepared the necessary laboratory equipment and walked into the classroom. “Alright, everyone,” I said, trying to get their attention. “I’m going to conduct an experiment, and I want you to observe it carefully. You’ll need to describe what you see afterward.” The room grew a little quieter as curiosity began to catch on. They turned their attention to me, and I could see a sign of interest in their eyes. I picked up a piece of magnesium ribbon (镁条) and held it with a holder. When I brought it close to the burner fire, the ribbon started to flash. The whole class watched the experiment in amazement, their eyes wide open, focusing on my operation in awe. The magnesium ribbon burned away, leaving behind a soft white powder. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 “What impressed you most in the experiment?” I asked. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With my encouragement, Tom opened up and shared more. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
