From fitness tracking to sustainable fashion and home appliances, innovative products are changing the way we live. Here are three newly-launched items that combine smart technology with everyday practicality.
ON TRACK
Screenless fitness trackers are the new trend in wearable workout gear. The first new Fitbit since 2023 enters that market, which competitors like Whoop and Oura have muscled into in recent years. The Fitbit Air is considerably cheaper than those options, and integrates with Google’s updated Health app. The tracker covers basic metrics like heart rate, blood oxygen and motion data during activity and sleep. All data is processed in the app, with an AI coach available for an additional $7.99 per month.

GOOD TIMING
If time is running out to meaningfully slow down climate change, here’s a watch to both monitor the countdown and also feel slightly better about it. Detrash is a British watchmaking brand using recycled ocean plastics, steel and fashion industry offcuts (边角料) to create its timepieces. The watches — from dress to dive styles — come in at under £500. Most lines are limited editions, so if you see one you like, time is probably running out.
Detrash ‘Midnight Flamingo’
From £375, detrash.com
PLASTIC PROGRESS
Up to 500,000 tonnes of textile microplastics enter the oceans every year, much from washing machines. Now, effective microplastic filters (过滤器) are being introduced, including a 2025 Moonshot Prize winner. Developed by Bristol-based Matter, the Regen filter can be built into machines or bought separately and installed at home. The company claims 97% effectiveness. It needs emptying every six weeks, with no replacement filters required.

B
My wife’s birthday falls at the beginning of spring when the winter chill still hangs over the approaching warmth.
On that day, I came home from work, stopped her from entering the kitchen and asked her to dine out. “Has Lily called?” she asked. I shook my head. The atmosphere at the dinner was oppressive. My wife kept glancing at her phone, showing no signs of appetite.
Early the next morning, my wife got up, dark rings encircling her eyes. We only have one child. When Lily still lived at home, every year when her birthday approached, we would start the grand preparations days in advance. And after she left for college, my wife would call her countless times from morning till night. How could she ignore all our love and utterly forget her mum’s birthday? On the way to work, I texted Lily, “Your mum didn’t sleep well last night.”
Another day concluding, we were about to go to bed when there was a sound of a key rattling in the lock. In came our daughter, face red with cold, birthday cake in hand. “Sorry, Mum. Happy birthday!” she said, tears welling up. Immediately, my wife pulled Lily into a hug, complaining, “You silly girl, why do you come all the way back at such a time? Don’t you know it is cold outside?”
Lily just stayed two hours in case of missing her classes. Seeing Lily boarding the train, my wife started blaming me for that message, yet in a better mood. I did feel I handled this matter perfectly both for my wife and my child’s growth.
Later, I called my parents and told them about it. I never thought they would respond with a long silence, and then said: “How many times have you forgotten our birthdays? Has either of us ever complained?”
4. What does the underlined word “oppressive” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Relaxing. B. Funny. C. Unique. D. Heavy.
5. What can be inferred about the woman in paragraph 3?
A. She blamed Lily for her rudeness. B. She cared little about birthday celebrations.
C. Some anxiety could be felt from the woman. D. She wasn’t satisfied with her dinner.
6. Why did Lily burst into tears on seeing her mother?
A. She was overjoyed to see her mother.
B. She felt sorry about forgetting her mother’s birthday.
C. She feared to be scolded for ignoring her parents’ love.
D. She pitied herself for being half-frozen all the way back.
7. What message is conveyed from the words of the author’s parents?
A. Love is a two-way street. B. Birthday party is a must.
C. Children should repay their parents’ love. D. It is never too late to say sorry.
C
Getting the most out of going to galleries involves more than just showing up. While a casual approach — “I don’t know much about art, but I know what I like” — might satisfy some, truly appreciating a painting requires a determination to go deeper.
Trust your eyes. The visual arts are not called the visual arts for nothing. Art is made to be looked at. And when your eyes decide whether they like something or not, they are drawing on the experience of a lifetime. So trust your eyes when they whisper their first impressions. Why do so many people love Van Gogh’s Sunflowers? The moment you see them, they feel uplifting, joyous, and instantly pleasurable, reminding your eyes of the colour, mood and joy of a sunny day.
Your eyes may be the most important organ for looking at art, but the heart runs them a close second. When we look at a painting, we get somebody’s message sent to us. One heart is trying to speak to another. Take Daughters Chasing a Butterfly by Thomas Gainsborough for example. The first thing to feel is, of course, the artist’s love for his little girls. To my eyes, it’s entirely unmissable. The two girls, their faces recorded with so much insider skills, are chasing a butterfly, which has landed on a prickly (有刺的) plant. When they try to grab it, they might get hurt. So a loving daddy hasn’t just painted his love for his daughters. He has also painted — and this is where the heart comes in — his fears for them.
If you judge art by your own level of competence or understanding, you’re looking at art through a blindfold. In Truner’s The Fighting Temeraire, the old boat, bathed in an orange and purple sunset, is packed with significance and symbolism about a lost life and the end of the road. Just look at the power, the intensity, the volcanic brilliance of his depiction (描绘). Instead of limiting your appreciation to what you like, expand it to include what many others have liked before you.
Like all life’s profound pleasures, looking at art is a complex business. More accurately, it’s a pleasure with many layers and stages. But for the experienced art lover, the real joy is in the build-up, the delicious journey, the awesome pay-off.
8. What are viewers advised to do first in looking at art?
A. Go over the history of art. B. Draw on artists’ experience.
C. Compare with other artwork. D. Rely on initial visual impressions.
9. Why is Gainsborough’s painting mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. Love is popular in family-themed paintings.
B. Viewing art involves heart-to-heart connection.
C. Art is a visual record of an artist’s personal life.
D. Viewers are easily struck by the skills of artists.
10. What does the author suggest about judging art in paragraph 4?
A. Considering others’ opinions. B. Trusting your own judgment.
C. Sticking to personal taste. D. Turning to realistic works.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. How to better engage with art. B. How to read artists’ emotion.
C. How to better evaluate visual arts. D. How to analyze famous paintings.
D
Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt (钴). Seabed-mining companies promote them as “a battery in a rock” and “the easiest way to solve climate change.” They claim that those nodules can provide metals for 4.8 billion electric vehicles.
Yet this promise threatens a biological treasure. Marine (海洋的) biologists reveal the CCZ shelters over 5,000 unique species in the darkness. The extensive mining of cobalt may lead to the loss of biodiversity. A company claimed to have found a solution to minimize the damage to the ecology and has already trialed a 25-ton collector robot designed to harvest these nodules. However, a 2023 study shows it can cause permanent destruction in the area.
Commercial mining is not yet permitted in international waters. The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is still determining how, and under what conditions, mining should be allowed. After 28 years of debate, its 168 member states still lack formal agreement. While companies advocate using nodule-collecting robots, 437 scientists from 44 countries demand an immediate stop.ISA studies confirm that just 10% mining of the CCZ may wipe out 50% of its species.
Nor is it certain that cobalt mining will even be all that important in car-battery technology. Many battery companies are trying to recycle cobalt from spent batteries. In March, several major European carmakers jointly stated that they would not buy any metals produced from deep-sea mining before the environmental risks are “completely understood”. Meanwhile, several Chinese electric vehicle producers have already made the switch, recycling up to 95% of metals from used batteries. “Why rush to mine the ocean for metals becoming outdated?” said battery expert Gavin Harper.
On June 8, 21 marine scientists from 8 universities finished a six-week research in the CCZ and packed up seafloor samples to take back to their labs for further analysis. “An assessment of the mining’s impact will take years of research,” says Andrew from Edinburgh. “I’m trying to get the best environmental data. And then it’s up to society to make the decision to go ahead.”
12. Why are the nodules called “a battery in a rock”?
A. They contain valuable metals.
B. They have recharging qualities.
C. They own battery-like structures.
D. They generate renewable power.
13. What can be inferred about the ISA?
A. It prioritizes economic interests.
B. It is guarded about seabed mining.
C. It opposes commercial operations.
D. It requires more technical support.
14. What does the author want to illustrate in Paragraph 4?
A. Deep-sea mining meets demands.
B. Carmakers reuse battery materials.
C. Battery recycling needs promoting.
D. Seabed mining for cobalt can wait.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Marine Mining, a Green Solution
B. Cobalt, the Future of Batteries
C. Ocean Metals, an Ocean Risk?
D. CCZ, the Treasure Unknown?
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It used to be simple: if you were stuck on homework, you went to a tutor or looked through a textbook. Today, many students admit their first instinct (本能) is to open short-video apps. ____16____ And here’s the catch: while short-form video makes information accessible, are students actually learning or just scrolling (滚屏)?
Students aren’t choosing short videos to study by accident; it fits the way their brains are wired in today’s world. Studies suggest the average attention span has dropped to around 8-12 seconds. Quick videos match that rhythm. Instead of sitting through a 45-minute lecture, students can learn one concept or definition in a minute. Short videos also turn idle time, like waiting for the bus, into learning opportunities. ____17____
However, for every upside, there’s a hidden drawback that students often feel but don’t always recognize. Short videos sometimes oversimplify — students may remember a “fun fact” but struggle to apply it in problem-solving. Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation, making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through. ____18____ Students can end up overwhelmed, recalling bits of many topics but mastering none.
Here’s where it gets tricky. Short-video platforms aren’t built for studying, they’re built for endless scrolling. That means students who go in looking for a “quick explainer” often end up an hour deep into unrelated content. ____19____ Students describe feeling “busy” while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much.
____20____ The reality is, it’s both. Short-form content is a tool, not a replacement. Students who use it as a supplement to traditional learning gain the best of both worlds: quick tips and deeper practice. Those who depend only on it often face burnout, divided attention, or surface-level understanding.
A. So, is short-form video helping or hurting?
B. This makes learning fit easily into daily life.
C. Many creators make money by posting educational short clips.
D. To them, such videos don’t just entertain but feel like learning.
E. Short videos make students unable to finish homework within fixed time.
F. Besides, too many short videos, brief as they are, can cause information overload.
G. This unclear line between entertainment and education makes it harder to manage time.

This led her to adopt a “mind over matter (物质)” approach as she continues to ___27___ five to six times per week, even when she doesn't want to. “I did feel burnt out at times, but every time I lay in bed and thought about ___28___ the gym, I always thought back to the times when I was overweight and unattractive,” Cheryl told Newsweek. “It's awful to be unwanted.”

“I feel amazing. I learned to enjoy the process of ____32____ my body and creating a healthy lifestyle,” Cheryl added.

47. 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。
Lily loved fixing things. Her father, a mechanic, had been teaching her to repair radios and toys since she was little. She would spend weekends working on old machines in her small bedroom, finding comfort in the rhythms of tools and gears (齿轮). The clicking of gears and the turning of wheels made her forget everything else. At school, however, she stayed quiet. Emma, a smart girl with a sharp tongue, often singled her out, rolling her eyes whenever Lily tried to voice her opinion.
One day, while cleaning the science lab, Lily accidentally knocked over Emma’s model car, on which she had spent weeks, breaking it into pieces on the floor. “My model car! You should have been more careful!” she screamed at Lily. Red-faced, Lily apologized and rushed out, fighting back her tears.
Two weeks later, when their teacher announced a robotics competition, the whole class came alive. “You’ll work in pairs to build a robot that can get through an obstacle course.” Emma was excited about building a robot, which was her long-held hobby. However, when she learned that Lily was her partner, she turned away, avoiding Lily’s eager eyes.
“Well, I can make it all,” Emma whispered. She turned to her notebook and focused on her design. In the following days, she simply ignored Lily’s attempts to approach, let alone their pair meetings as scheduled.
Sensing Emma’s unwillingness to cooperate, Lily decided to work on her own. She spent quite a lot of time sketching designs in the quiet lab. One afternoon, as she worked late, she noticed a half-built robot sitting in the corner, something Emma had started but left unfinished. She looked closer and froze. The wires had been connected the wrong way — if turned on, it might explode. Just as Lily reached out to examine it, the door opened.
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。
Paragraph1: Emma stood still in the doorway, eyes wide in surprise.

Paragraph 2: On competition day, Emma and Lily presented a robot marked with their names.

My wife’s birthday falls at the beginning of spring when the winter chill still hangs over the approaching warmth.
On that day, I came home from work, stopped her from entering the kitchen and asked her to dine out. “Has Lily called?” she asked. I shook my head. The atmosphere at the dinner was oppressive. My wife kept glancing at her phone, showing no signs of appetite.
Early the next morning, my wife got up, dark rings encircling her eyes. We only have one child. When Lily still lived at home, every year when her birthday approached, we would start the grand preparations days in advance. And after she left for college, my wife would call her countless times from morning till night. How could she ignore all our love and utterly forget her mum’s birthday? On the way to work, I texted Lily, “Your mum didn’t sleep well last night.”
Another day concluding, we were about to go to bed when there was a sound of a key rattling in the lock. In came our daughter, face red with cold, birthday cake in hand. “Sorry, Mum. Happy birthday!” she said, tears welling up. Immediately, my wife pulled Lily into a hug, complaining, “You silly girl, why do you come all the way back at such a time? Don’t you know it is cold outside?”
Lily just stayed two hours in case of missing her classes. Seeing Lily boarding the train, my wife started blaming me for that message, yet in a better mood. I did feel I handled this matter perfectly both for my wife and my child’s growth.
Later, I called my parents and told them about it. I never thought they would respond with a long silence, and then said: “How many times have you forgotten our birthdays? Has either of us ever complained?”
4. What does the underlined word “oppressive” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Relaxing. B. Funny. C. Unique. D. Heavy.
5. What can be inferred about the woman in paragraph 3?
A. She blamed Lily for her rudeness. B. She cared little about birthday celebrations.
C. Some anxiety could be felt from the woman. D. She wasn’t satisfied with her dinner.
6. Why did Lily burst into tears on seeing her mother?

B. She felt sorry about forgetting her mother’s birthday.
C. She feared to be scolded for ignoring her parents’ love.
D. She pitied herself for being half-frozen all the way back.
7. What message is conveyed from the words of the author’s parents?
A. Love is a two-way street. B. Birthday party is a must.
C. Children should repay their parents’ love. D. It is never too late to say sorry.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者在妻子生日时,因女儿莉莉迟迟没有送上生日祝福,便发消息告知女儿妻子为此失眠,随后女儿专程赶回家为母亲庆生,作者原本自认处理得当,却在和自己父母提及此事后,被父母的点醒引发了关于双向爱的思考的故事。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“My wife kept glancing at her phone, showing no signs of appetite.(我妻子不停地看手机,毫无食欲的迹象)”可知,妻子一直在看手机,没有胃口,在等女儿Lily的电话,氛围是沉闷压抑的,heavy可形容气氛沉重,故划线词意思是“沉重的”。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Early the next morning, my wife got up, dark rings encircling her eyes. We only have one child. When Lily still lived at home, every year when her birthday approached, we would start the grand preparations days in advance. And after she left for college, my wife would call her countless times from morning till night. How could she ignore all our love and utterly forget her mum’s birthday? On the way to work, I texted Lily, “Your mum didn’t sleep well last night.”(第二天一早,我妻子起床了,眼周布满黑眼圈。我们只有一个孩子。当莉莉还住在家里时,每年临近她的生日,我们都会提前好几天开始精心准备。而她上大学后,我妻子从早到晚给她打了无数个电话。她怎能无视我们所有的爱,完全忘记母亲的生日呢?上班路上,我给莉莉发了条短信:“你妈妈昨晚睡得不好。”)”可知,妻子因为一直等不到女儿的生日祝福,内心满是焦虑不安。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In came our daughter, face red with cold, birthday cake in hand. “Sorry, Mum. Happy birthday!” she said, tears welling up.(女儿走了进来,脸冻得通红,手里拿着生日蛋糕。“对不起,妈妈。生日快乐!”她说道,眼泪不禁流了下来)”可知,莉莉看到母亲时为忘记母亲的生日而感到难过,所以哭泣。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I never thought they would respond with a long silence, and then said: “How many times have you forgotten our birthdays? Has either of us ever complained?”(我从未想过他们会先沉默良久,然后说:“你多少次忘记过我们的生日了?我们当中有谁抱怨过吗?”)”可知,作者父母的话语传达了爱是双向的。
C
Getting the most out of going to galleries involves more than just showing up. While a casual approach — “I don’t know much about art, but I know what I like” — might satisfy some, truly appreciating a painting requires a determination to go deeper.
Trust your eyes. The visual arts are not called the visual arts for nothing. Art is made to be looked at. And when your eyes decide whether they like something or not, they are drawing on the experience of a lifetime. So trust your eyes when they whisper their first impressions. Why do so many people love Van Gogh’s Sunflowers? The moment you see them, they feel uplifting, joyous, and instantly pleasurable, reminding your eyes of the colour, mood and joy of a sunny day.
Your eyes may be the most important organ for looking at art, but the heart runs them a close second. When we look at a painting, we get somebody’s message sent to us. One heart is trying to speak to another. Take Daughters Chasing a Butterfly by Thomas Gainsborough for example. The first thing to feel is, of course, the artist’s love for his little girls. To my eyes, it’s entirely unmissable. The two girls, their faces recorded with so much insider skills, are chasing a butterfly, which has landed on a prickly (有刺的) plant. When they try to grab it, they might get hurt. So a loving daddy hasn’t just painted his love for his daughters. He has also painted — and this is where the heart comes in — his fears for them.
If you judge art by your own level of competence or understanding, you’re looking at art through a blindfold. In Truner’s The Fighting Temeraire, the old boat, bathed in an orange and purple sunset, is packed with significance and symbolism about a lost life and the end of the road. Just look at the power, the intensity, the volcanic brilliance of his depiction (描绘). Instead of limiting your appreciation to what you like, expand it to include what many others have liked before you.
Like all life’s profound pleasures, looking at art is a complex business. More accurately, it’s a pleasure with many layers and stages. But for the experienced art lover, the real joy is in the build-up, the delicious journey, the awesome pay-off.
8. What are viewers advised to do first in looking at art?
A. Go over the history of art. B. Draw on artists’ experience.
C. Compare with other artwork. D. Rely on initial visual impressions.
9. Why is Gainsborough’s painting mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. Love is popular in family-themed paintings.
B. Viewing art involves heart-to-heart connection.
C. Art is a visual record of an artist’s personal life.
D. Viewers are easily struck by the skills of artists.
10. What does the author suggest about judging art in paragraph 4?
A. Considering others’ opinions. B. Trusting your own judgment.
C. Sticking to personal taste. D. Turning to realistic works.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. How to better engage with art. B. How to read artists’ emotion.
C. How to better evaluate visual arts. D. How to analyze famous paintings.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了如何更深入地欣赏艺术作品。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“So trust your eyes when they whisper their first impressions.(所以,当你的眼睛轻声传达第一印象时,要相信它们)”可知,在欣赏艺术作品时,作者建议观众首先依靠最初的视觉印象,故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“When we look at a painting, we get somebody’s message sent to us. One heart is trying to speak to another. Take Daughters Chasing a Butterfly by Thomas Gainsborough for example.(当我们看一幅画时,我们接收到了某人传递给我们的信息。一颗心试图与另一颗心对话。以托马斯·庚斯博罗的《女儿们追逐蝴蝶》为例)”可知,提到庚斯博罗的画是为了说明欣赏艺术涉及心灵与心灵的连接,故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Instead of limiting your appreciation to what you like, expand it to include what many others have liked before you.(不要把你的鉴赏局限于自己喜欢的事物,而应拓宽眼界,去接纳那些在你之前就已被无数人喜爱的作品)”可知,作者建议在评判艺术时考虑他人的意见,故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Getting the most out of going to galleries involves more than just showing up. While a casual approach — “I don’t know much about art, but I know what I like” — might satisfy some, truly appreciating a painting requires a determination to go deeper.(想要充分享受逛美术馆的乐趣,仅仅到场是远远不够的。虽然 “我不懂艺术,但我知道自己喜欢什么” 这种随性的态度或许能让一些人感到满足,但真正欣赏一幅画作,需要有决心去看得更深)”可知,文章围绕如何更好地欣赏艺术展开,介绍了欣赏艺术的方法,如相信最初视觉印象、感受心灵连接、考虑他人意见等,A选项“How to better engage with art.(如何更好地欣赏艺术。)”能概括文章主要内容。故选A项。
D
Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt (钴). Seabed-mining companies promote them as “a battery in a rock” and “the easiest way to solve climate change.” They claim that those nodules can provide metals for 4.8 billion electric vehicles.
Yet this promise threatens a biological treasure. Marine (海洋的) biologists reveal the CCZ shelters over 5,000 unique species in the darkness. The extensive mining of cobalt may lead to the loss of biodiversity. A company claimed to have found a solution to minimize the damage to the ecology and has already trialed a 25-ton collector robot designed to harvest these nodules. However, a 2023 study shows it can cause permanent destruction in the area.
Commercial mining is not yet permitted in international waters. The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is still determining how, and under what conditions, mining should be allowed. After 28 years of debate, its 168 member states still lack formal agreement. While companies advocate using nodule-collecting robots, 437 scientists from 44 countries demand an immediate stop.ISA studies confirm that just 10% mining of the CCZ may wipe out 50% of its species.
Nor is it certain that cobalt mining will even be all that important in car-battery technology. Many battery companies are trying to recycle cobalt from spent batteries. In March, several major European carmakers jointly stated that they would not buy any metals produced from deep-sea mining before the environmental risks are “completely understood”. Meanwhile, several Chinese electric vehicle producers have already made the switch, recycling up to 95% of metals from used batteries. “Why rush to mine the ocean for metals becoming outdated?” said battery expert Gavin Harper.
On June 8, 21 marine scientists from 8 universities finished a six-week research in the CCZ and packed up seafloor samples to take back to their labs for further analysis. “An assessment of the mining’s impact will take years of research,” says Andrew from Edinburgh. “I’m trying to get the best environmental data. And then it’s up to society to make the decision to go ahead.”
12. Why are the nodules called “a battery in a rock”?
A. They contain valuable metals.
B. They have recharging qualities.
C. They own battery-like structures.
D. They generate renewable power.
13. What can be inferred about the ISA?
A. It prioritizes economic interests.
B. It is guarded about seabed mining.
C. It opposes commercial operations.
D. It requires more technical support.
14. What does the author want to illustrate in Paragraph 4?
A. Deep-sea mining meets demands.
B. Carmakers reuse battery materials.
C. Battery recycling needs promoting.
D. Seabed mining for cobalt can wait.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Marine Mining, a Green Solution
B. Cobalt, the Future of Batteries
C. Ocean Metals, an Ocean Risk?
D. CCZ, the Treasure Unknown?
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了海底多金属结核开采的利弊及争议。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt (钴). Seabed-mining companies promote them as “a battery in a rock” and “the easiest way to solve climate change.” They claim that those nodules can provide metals for 4.8 billion electric vehicles.(太平洋底部坐落着克拉里昂-克利珀顿断裂带,那里蕴藏着数百亿颗富含钴的多金属结核。海底采矿公司将它们宣传为“岩石中的电池”和“解决气候变化的最简单方法”。他们声称,这些结核可以为48亿辆电动汽车提供金属。)”可知,这些结核被称为“岩石中的电池”是因为它们含有有价值的金属。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is still determining how, and under what conditions, mining should be allowed. After 28 years of debate, its 168 member states still lack formal agreement.(国际海底管理局(ISA)仍在确定如何以及在什么条件下允许采矿。经过28年的辩论,其168个成员国仍未达成正式协议。)”可知,关于采矿,ISA仍未达成正式协议,由此可推断,它对海底采矿持谨慎态度。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Nor is it certain that cobalt mining will even be all that important in car-battery technology. Many battery companies are trying to recycle cobalt from spent batteries. In March, several major European carmakers jointly stated that they would not buy any metals produced from deep-sea mining before the environmental risks are “completely understood”. Meanwhile, several Chinese electric vehicle producers have already made the switch, recycling up to 95% of metals from used batteries. (钴开采在汽车电池技术中是否真的那么重要也不确定。许多电池公司正试图从废旧电池中回收钴。今年3月,几家欧洲主要汽车制造商联合声明,在“完全了解”环境风险之前,他们不会购买任何深海采矿生产的金属。与此同时,几家中国电动汽车生产商已经做出了改变,从废旧电池中回收了高达95%的金属。)”可知,作者想在第四段说明的是深海钴开采可以等待。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt (钴). (太平洋底部坐落着克拉里昂-克利珀顿断裂带,那里蕴藏着数百亿颗富含钴的多金属结核。)”以及第二段中“Yet this promise threatens a biological treasure. Marine (海洋的) biologists reveal the CCZ shelters over 5,000 unique species in the darkness. The extensive mining of cobalt may lead to the loss of biodiversity.(然而,这一承诺威胁着生物宝藏。海洋生物学家揭示,CCZ在黑暗中庇护着5000多种独特的物种。钴的广泛开采可能导致生物多样性的丧失。)”以及最后一段中““An assessment of the mining’s impact will take years of research,” says Andrew from Edinburgh. “I’m trying to get the best environmental data. And then it’s up to society to make the decision to go ahead.”(“评估采矿的影响需要多年的研究,”爱丁堡的安德鲁说。“我正在努力获取最好的环境数据。然后由社会来决定是否继续进行。”)”可知,文章主要讨论了多金属结核开采的利弊及争议,由此可知,C选项“Ocean Metals, an Ocean Risk?(海洋金属,海洋风险?)”最符合文章主旨。故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It used to be simple: if you were stuck on homework, you went to a tutor or looked through a textbook. Today, many students admit their first instinct (本能) is to open short-video apps. ____16____ And here’s the catch: while short-form video makes information accessible, are students actually learning or just scrolling (滚屏)?
Students aren’t choosing short videos to study by accident; it fits the way their brains are wired in today’s world. Studies suggest the average attention span has dropped to around 8-12 seconds. Quick videos match that rhythm. Instead of sitting through a 45-minute lecture, students can learn one concept or definition in a minute. Short videos also turn idle time, like waiting for the bus, into learning opportunities. ____17____
However, for every upside, there’s a hidden drawback that students often feel but don’t always recognize. Short videos sometimes oversimplify — students may remember a “fun fact” but struggle to apply it in problem-solving. Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation, making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through. ____18____ Students can end up overwhelmed, recalling bits of many topics but mastering none.
Here’s where it gets tricky. Short-video platforms aren’t built for studying, they’re built for endless scrolling. That means students who go in looking for a “quick explainer” often end up an hour deep into unrelated content. ____19____ Students describe feeling “busy” while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much.
____20____ The reality is, it’s both. Short-form content is a tool, not a replacement. Students who use it as a supplement to traditional learning gain the best of both worlds: quick tips and deeper practice. Those who depend only on it often face burnout, divided attention, or surface-level understanding.
A. So, is short-form video helping or hurting?
B. This makes learning fit easily into daily life.
C. Many creators make money by posting educational short clips.
D. To them, such videos don’t just entertain but feel like learning.
E. Short videos make students unable to finish homework within fixed time.
F. Besides, too many short videos, brief as they are, can cause information overload.
G. This unclear line between entertainment and education makes it harder to manage time.
【答案】16. D 17. B 18. F 19. G 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文辩证分析短视频用于学习的利弊:短视频适配碎片化学习、降低知识获取门槛,但易造成信息过载、消磨专注力、娱乐学习边界模糊,最后提出短视频仅可作为传统学习补充,不可完全依赖。
【16题详解】
上文“Today, many students admit their first instinct (本能) is to open short-video apps. (如今,许多学生承认他们的第一反应是打开短视频应用)”提到学生遇到问题时首先选择短视频应用,D选项“To them, such videos don’t just entertain but feel like learning.(对他们来说,这类视频不仅仅是娱乐,更像是学习)”中的“them”指代上文的“students”,解释了学生选择短视频的原因,即他们认为短视频具有学习功能,承接上文,符合题意。
【17题详解】
上文“Short videos also turn idle time, like waiting for the bus, into learning opportunities.(短视频还能把空闲时间,比如等公交车的时间,变成学习机会)”说明短视频能将碎片时间转化为学习机会,B选项“This makes learning fit easily into daily life.(这使得学习能轻松融入日常生活)”中的“This”指代上文内容,进一步总结短视频让学习更便利地融入生活,与上文构成因果关系。
【18题详解】
上文“Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation, making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through. (持续接触快速内容会训练大脑期待刺激,使得复杂的阅读或完整的讲座更难让人坐得住)”指出短视频带来的注意力问题,下文“Students can end up overwhelmed, recalling bits of many topics but mastering none. (学生最终可能会不堪重负,只记得许多话题的碎片,却没有掌握任何一个)”说明信息过载的结果,F选项“Besides, too many short videos, brief as they are, can cause information overload.(此外,太多的短视频,尽管简短,却可能导致信息过载)”承上启下,其中“information overload”与下文“overwhelmed”相呼应,且“Besides”补充了另一个缺点。
【19题详解】
上文“That means students who go in looking for a “quick explainer” often end up an hour deep into unrelated content. (这意味着那些为了寻找“快速讲解”而打开应用的学生,最终往往会深陷一个小时的不相关内容中)”说明短视频平台容易让学生从学习滑向娱乐,G选项“This unclear line between entertainment and education makes it harder to manage time.(娱乐和教育之间这条不清晰的界限使得时间管理变得更加困难)”中的“This unclear line”指代上文学习滑向娱乐的现象,解释了时间管理困难的原因,与下文“Students describe feeling “busy” while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much. (学生们描述在刷学习内容时感觉“很忙”,但后来意识到没记住多少)”中学生时间管理失败相呼应。
【20题详解】
下文“The reality is, it’s both. Short-form content is a tool, not a replacement. (现实是,两者都有。短视频内容是一种工具,而不是替代品)”中的“both”表明短视频既有帮助也有危害,A选项“So, is short-form video helping or hurting?(那么,短视频是有帮助还是有害呢?)”以问句形式引出下文的解答,且“helping or hurting”与下文的“both”形成完美呼应。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)

47. 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。
Lily loved fixing things. Her father, a mechanic, had been teaching her to repair radios and toys since she was little. She would spend weekends working on old machines in her small bedroom, finding comfort in the rhythms of tools and gears (齿轮). The clicking of gears and the turning of wheels made her forget everything else. At school, however, she stayed quiet. Emma, a smart girl with a sharp tongue, often singled her out, rolling her eyes whenever Lily tried to voice her opinion.
One day, while cleaning the science lab, Lily accidentally knocked over Emma’s model car, on which she had spent weeks, breaking it into pieces on the floor. “My model car! You should have been more careful!” she screamed at Lily. Red-faced, Lily apologized and rushed out, fighting back her tears.
Two weeks later, when their teacher announced a robotics competition, the whole class came alive. “You’ll work in pairs to build a robot that can get through an obstacle course.” Emma was excited about building a robot, which was her long-held hobby. However, when she learned that Lily was her partner, she turned away, avoiding Lily’s eager eyes.
“Well, I can make it all,” Emma whispered. She turned to her notebook and focused on her design. In the following days, she simply ignored Lily’s attempts to approach, let alone their pair meetings as scheduled.
Sensing Emma’s unwillingness to cooperate, Lily decided to work on her own. She spent quite a lot of time sketching designs in the quiet lab. One afternoon, as she worked late, she noticed a half-built robot sitting in the corner, something Emma had started but left unfinished. She looked closer and froze. The wires had been connected the wrong way — if turned on, it might explode. Just as Lily reached out to examine it, the door opened.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150左右;

Paragraph1: Emma stood still in the doorway, eyes wide in surprise.

Paragraph 2: On competition day, Emma and Lily presented a robot marked with their names.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文:
Emma stood still in the doorway, eyes wide in surprise. “What are you doing with my robot?” she demanded. Lily stepped back. “I wasn’t messing it up! Look, the red and black wires are connected wrongly. If turned on, the circuit will overload and explode.” Emma hesitated, then bent down to check the wires. Her face turned pale. “You’re right. I was careless.” She glanced at Lily uneasily. “Why would you help me after what I did?” Lily smiled. “Because we’re partners. And I love fixing things.”
On competition day, they presented a robot marked with their names. It moved through the obstacle course smoothly, turning corners with precision and avoiding barriers. The audience cheered. Although they didn’t win first place, they earned a special award for “Best Collaboration.” Emma whispered, “Sorry for how I treated you. You’re amazing.” Lily grinned. “You’re a brilliant designer. We make a great team.” From that day on, they became inseparable friends. Lily found her voice, and Emma learned that true strength lies in trusting and lifting each other up.
