The floating (流动的) homes of Lake Titicaca More than 500 years ago, the growing Inca Empire began to occupy the Uros’ mainland villages. To resist this threat, the Uros began to build the floating islands with the water- resistant plant called totora, which grows in the lake and is the lifeblood of the Uros community. The perfect desert town: Ghadames Ghadames is an impressive example of environmental planning. Thick walls delay the sun’s heat entering a building during the day, and radiate that heat back to the sky at night. By morning, the walls have cooled again. Skilful use of available building materials achieves the maximum comfort with minimal means. Spain’s fairy-tale houses Known as pallozas, the round houses are built from just a handful of materials: stone, wood and dry grass. Thick stone walls depending on what was available in the area block the cold and conserve internal heat. Inside, the palloza’s fireplaces are essential for maintaining a constant temperature, making it energy-efficient. The Himalayas’ ancient design The structures in Himachal Pradesh were built by an ancient technique known as Kath kuni. Wood and stones create a fantastic balance. The wooden frames (框架) lessen the stress on the openings during an earthquake. Thick stones hold the whole building firmly in place. Above all, pieces of wood interlock together, which makes the structures remarkably flexible, allowing walls to move in case of an earthquake. 21. Which structure was built for defending residents against attackers? A. The Kath kuni structure. B. The floating structure. C. The Ghadames structure. D. The palloza’s structure. 22. What do the houses in Ghadames and pallozas have in common? A. They are sustainable. B. They maximize internal heat. C. They are built for luxury living. D. They’re made of special materials. 23. What makes Kath kuni structures earthquake-resistant? A. The stone frames. B. The narrow openings. C. The flexible wood. D. An interlocking system. Born in Sudan in 1990, Hamza Yassin is a British wildlife cameraman and TV presenter, known for his role as ranger Hamza on CBeebies and his work on shows such as Animal Park. He moved to Northampton in 1998 when his parents, both doctors, were invited to work in the UK. Besides the climate, he also had to adjust to the change in pets. As mentioned in his book Hamza’s Wild World, “Where’s everyone’s pet lions and monkeys? It was all cats and dogs. I hadn’t realized what a special upbringing (养育) I had. But it was the UK that cemented my love of wildlife: I quickly fell in love with the country’s nature. At first glance, it doesn’t look like there is much wildlife. But if you peel back the layers, there is so much.” Though his parents didn’t have time to closely teach him, they did turn on the television, especially the Discovery Channel. David Attenborough’s The Life of Birds was an eye-opening experience, and Steve Irwin was a huge inspiration. While Hamza thought they had cool jobs, he never thought he could be a presenter. As a non-white teenager, he never saw anyone like him in front of the camera. After being an assistant for the incredible wildlife cameraman Jesse Wilkinson, Hamza realized he needed to forge his own path. In 2011, he traveled with friends to the Highlands. Two weeks later, he was back there. He told his parents he was living in a beautiful cottage, but in reality, he was living in his car, struggling to make ends meet. He parked at the local ferry terminal and lived there happily for nine months, doing odd jobs to survive. During that time, he was determined not to go back to Northampton and tell his parents: “I’ve been defeated.” Luckily, he made it. That experience taught him everything he needed to know about the profession. Eventually, Hamza became a renowned wildlife cameraman, inspiring others to pursue their dreams regardless of their background. 24. What does the underlined word “cemented” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Strengthened. B. Evaluated. C. Challenged. D. Deserved. 25. Why didn’t Hamza think he could be a TV presenter in his teenage years? A. He had no passion for being a presenter. B. He feared to stand in front of the camera. C. He obtained little support from his parents. D. He lacked confidence because of his color. 26. What can we learn from Hamza’s experience in the Highlands? A. He assisted a well-known wildlife cameraman. B. He longed for his parents’ financial support. C. He persevered through different challenges. D. He documented the region’s wildlife for a TV show. 27. What does Hamza’s story of becoming a renowned cameraman show? A. Great minds think alike. B. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. C. Strike while the iron is hot. D. A good beginning makes a good ending. In now-famous remarks marking the first-ever World Soil Day, Maria-Helena Semedo, an official from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, said it takes 1,000 years to form just three centimeters of topsoil — the nutrient-rich surface layer that plants need to grow. Given the current rate of soil degradation (退化), Semedo warned that 100% of the world’s topsoil could disappear in just 60 years. Scientists warn that the long-term loss of farmable soil could have a disastrous impact on agricultural production. “We rely entirely on agriculture to survive,” says ecologist Steven D. Allison. “And agriculture cannot exist without healthy soil.” The biggest threat to soil is industrial farming. The heart of large-scale food production is mono-cropping, the practice of growing a single crop repeatedly on the same land. While it can increase short-term output, it can be harmful because it hurts soil in the long term by destroying nutrients, reducing its ability to hold water, and lowering its defense capability to harmful insects and diseases. As a result, farmers have to use more fertilizers and insect killers, which further destroy the microorganisms in the soil. Worse still, mono-cropping is often paired with tillage (翻耕). This practice breaks down colonies of bacteria and fungi — tiny organisms that work hard to produce nutrients for plants. The good news is that soil degradation is absolutely solvable, according to Allison. “We have long-proven methods to improve soil quality,” he notes. These methods are generally called regenerative (再生的) agriculture. By growing diverse crops, this approach builds up healthy soil ecosystems. It not only protects topsoil but also helps restore and rebuild it. Consumers can drive changes to the food system from the bottom up by choosing to buy produce from farmers who practice regenerative agriculture. “Everyone has a role to play,” Allison says. “We all need to open our eyes and learn more about the soil beneath our feet.” 28. What does paragraph 1 say about the topsoil? A. Its formation is time-consuming. B. It can be easily influenced by weather. C. Its nutrients are mainly from farm crops. D. It can be renewed quickly after being damaged. 29. Why is mono-cropping harmful? A. It reduces short-term output. B. It makes the soil hold too much water. C. It destroys the soil ecosystem. D. It increases farmers’ economic pressure. 30. What does Allison advise consumers to do? A. Maintain their daily consumption habits. B. Turn to local farmers for daily necessities. C. Keep a close watch on global soil degradation. D. Support farmers using regenerative agricultural methods. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Learn More About the Topsoil B. Industrial Farming: A Risk to Earth C. Save Our Soil Through Better Farming D. Regenerative Agriculture: A New Science What if we could fight farm weeds with a precise strike instead of blanket chemicals? This vision is now becoming a reality in the farmlands of China. The HG LaserWeederr, a new machine developed by Huagong Tech, marks a major breakthrough in precision agriculture by making targeted weed control a practical reality. This advancement responds directly to the persistent problems associated with traditional farming. Decades of heavy reliance on chemical herbicides (除草剂) have caused significant environmental harm, including soil degradation and water pollution. For China, a nation with vast agricultural lands, finding a sustainable solution is a matter of particular urgency. So, how does this “robot farmer” work? At its core, it combines artificial intelligence with advanced light technology. Its AI-powered visual system, trained on a vast database of plant images, acts as a smart “eye” that can distinguish weeds from crops in milliseconds. Once a weed is spotted, the robot delivers a precise laser beam (激光束) to each weed’s growth center, destroying key cells and causing the plant to die naturally, all without harming the surrounding crops or the soil. The advantages of this approach are substantial. In terms of efficiency, an advanced model equipped with 32 laser heads can destroy up to 320,000 weeds per hour, which is four to eight times more efficient than traditional methods. Through continuous operation, it achieves a weed control rate of over 95%, far outperforming hand weeding and obviating the need for this back-breaking task. Ecologically, it significantly reduces the use of chemicals, thereby cutting off a primary source of agricultural pollution. The introduction of this technology is part of a broader shift toward automated and sustainable agriculture in China and abroad. As farms worldwide seek to enhance efficiency while minimizing environmental impact, robotic solutions like the Hg LaserWeeder are likely to become increasingly common. This technology signals a move toward precision agriculture, where data-driven tools enable farmers to manage their crops with greater accuracy and less dependence on chemicals, pointing the way for a cleaner, more efficient future for farming. 32. What is the main factor behind the development of the Hg LaserWeeder? A. The shortage of clean water. B. The vast farmlands in China. C. The pollution from chemicals. D. The failing power of herbicides. 33. What is the main role of the visual system in the Hg LaserWeeder? A. To deliver laser beams. B. To protect nearby crops. C. To capture plant images. D. To identify target weeds. 34. What does the underlined word “obviating” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Facing. B. Removing. C. Sharing. D. Delaying. 35. What can we infer about future agriculture from the last paragraph? A. It will rely more on smart robotic tools. B. It will witness more global cooperation. C. It will prioritize environment over yields. D. It will improve the social status of farmers. Museums, once quiet places filled with history, are now full of digital excitement. By using machine learning and advanced algorithms (算法), these institutions are creating personalized visitor journeys, protecting delicate collections, and revealing hidden stories. ____36____ AI transforms a standard museum trip into a personalized and interactive adventure. Smart recommendation engines analyze data such as exhibit popularity and visitors’ past behavior to suggest specific exhibits and events, making each visit unique and surprising. ____37____ These digital assistants engage visitors in dynamic conversations and offer context-sensitive insights that deepen understanding and satisfy curiosity. Beyond visitor interaction, AI plays a crucial role in preserving priceless artworks. Since the exhibits in museums sustain natural decay (破损) over time, early detection is vital. AI can help identify the slightest signs of decay, such as cracks or discoloration, which are often invisible to the human eye. ____38____ Moreover, by predicting future decay patterns, AI helps museums take preventive measures and improve preservation strategies. AI also significantly enhances the educational value of museums, particularly for children and families. ____39____ For instance, interactive exhibits powered by AI can adjust their content and difficulty level based on the user’s preferences and responses. This adaptability ensures that complex historical concepts become accessible and engaging for young minds. Looking ahead, the rapid advancement of AI promises both exciting possibilities and ethical (伦理的) challenges. Museums are working together with AI ethicists to develop fair algorithms. ____40____ Strict policies should be established to protect visitors’ information. A. This capability allows for timely restoration. B. Visitor data collection also raises privacy issues. C. In short, AI is redefining the museum in all respects. D. It tailors learning experiences to different age groups and learning styles. E. Museums are not only places to store artworks, but also spaces for learning. F. Furthermore, AI-powered virtual guides are replacing traditional tour guides. G. AI is changing this by using image recognition technology to analyze exhibits. 三、完形填空(共15小题,共15分) While her French classmates ate salads, Li Mei took out a package of steamed rice.

Sally had been playing football all summer. She really enjoyed running around with the other players in her bright orange uniform, chasing the black and white ball across the grassy field. As much as shewed, though, Sally still had not scored one single goal. Before each game, they had a practice session. The coach showed Sally and her team how to pass the ball to each other and take shots at the goal. Sally was pretty good at passing the ball, but even during practices, she couldn't kick the ball past the goalkeeper. She wondered if she should quit football and join a different club. “Don’t give up,” said the coach. But it was half-time, and Sally was feeling frustrated (沮丧). She was trying! Every time she got a chance to kick the ball, it would go in the wrong direction or a player from the other team would take control of it. She sipped at her cola and pouted (撅嘴). The break was over and the referee blew his whistle to start the game again. The two teams walked back onto the field, both determined to win. Sally bent, tied up her shoelace and heard her mother whisper in her ear. “Stay focused. Keep your eyes on the ball. Look for an opportunity to get the ball. You can do it.” Sally stood up and took a deep breath. Even if she didn't get one goal all summer, she knew that she had tried her best. That was something to be proud of. So she smiled at her mother and headed to her position. The whistle blew, and the game continued. The score was tied with one goal each. The green team was pretty good, but Sally's orange team was fast. The girls' ponytails bounced as they ran, with many feet kicking frantically (拼命地) at the ball when it came near them. It was a rather boring game and Sally's heart was no longer in it. 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。 Sally started daydreaming about joining other school clubs. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Recalling her mother's words.

He moved to Northampton in 1998 when his parents, both doctors, were invited to work in the UK. Besides the climate, he also had to adjust to the change in pets. As mentioned in his book Hamza’s Wild World, “Where’s everyone’s pet lions and monkeys? It was all cats and dogs. I hadn’t realized what a special upbringing (养育) I had. But it was the UK that cemented my love of wildlife: I quickly fell in love with the country’s nature. At first glance, it doesn’t look like there is much wildlife. But if you peel back the layers, there is so much.” Though his parents didn’t have time to closely teach him, they did turn on the television, especially the Discovery Channel. David Attenborough’s The Life of Birds was an eye-opening experience, and Steve Irwin was a huge inspiration. While Hamza thought they had cool jobs, he never thought he could be a presenter. As a non-white teenager, he never saw anyone like him in front of the camera. After being an assistant for the incredible wildlife cameraman Jesse Wilkinson, Hamza realized he needed to forge his own path. In 2011, he traveled with friends to the Highlands. Two weeks later, he was back there. He told his parents he was living in a beautiful cottage, but in reality, he was living in his car, struggling to make ends meet. He parked at the local ferry terminal and lived there happily for nine months, doing odd jobs to survive. During that time, he was determined not to go back to Northampton and tell his parents: “I’ve been defeated.” Luckily, he made it. That experience taught him everything he needed to know about the profession. Eventually, Hamza became a renowned wildlife cameraman, inspiring others to pursue their dreams regardless of their background. 24. What does the underlined word “cemented” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Strengthened. B. Evaluated. C. Challenged. D. Deserved. 25. Why didn’t Hamza think he could be a TV presenter in his teenage years? A. He had no passion for being a presenter. B. He feared to stand in front of the camera. C. He obtained little support from his parents. D. He lacked confidence because of his color. 26. What can we learn from Hamza’s experience in the Highlands? A. He assisted a well-known wildlife cameraman. B. He longed for his parents’ financial support. C. He persevered through different challenges. D. He documented the region’s wildlife for a TV show. 27. What does Hamza’s story of becoming a renowned cameraman show? A. Great minds think alike. B. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. C. Strike while the iron is hot. D. A good beginning makes a good ending. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了野生动物摄影师Hamza Yassin的成长故事。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词句后文“I quickly fell in love with the country’s nature. At first glance, it doesn’t look like there is much wildlife. But if you peel back the layers, there is so much.(我很快就爱上了这个国家的自然风光。乍一看，这里似乎没有太多野生动物。但只要你深入探究，就会发现其实数量众多)”可知，正是在英国，作者对野生动物增强了热爱，培养了这一兴趣。从而推知划线部分意思是“加强”，和Strengthened意思相近。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“While Hamza thought they had cool jobs, he never thought he could be a presenter. As a non-white teenager, he never saw anyone like him in front of the camera.(尽管哈姆扎（Hamza）觉得他们的工作很酷，但他从未想过自己能成为一名主持人。作为一名非白人青少年，他从未在镜头前看到过像自己这样的人)”可知，Hamza一开始不认为自己可以成为一名电视节目主持人是因为他因为肤色而缺乏自信。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“He told his parents he was living in a beautiful cottage, but in reality, he was living in his car, struggling to make ends meet. He parked at the local ferry terminal and lived there happily for nine months, doing odd jobs to survive.(他告诉父母自己住在一间漂亮的小屋里，但实际上，他住在自己的车里，艰难地维持生计。他把车停在当地的渡轮码头，在那里快乐地生活了九个月，靠打零工勉强糊口)”可知，他在苏格兰高地坚持克服了各种挑战。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“During that time, he was determined not to go back to Northampton and tell his parents: “I’ve been defeated.”(在那段时间里，他下定决心不回北安普顿，也不告诉父母：“我失败了。”)”和最后一段“Eventually, Hamza became a renowned wildlife cameraman, inspiring others to pursue their dreams regardless of their background.(最终，哈姆扎成为了一位知名的野生动物摄影师，激励着他人不论出身背景如何，都要勇敢追逐自己的梦想)”可知，我们能从Hamza的经历中明白：有志者事竟成。故选B。 In now-famous remarks marking the first-ever World Soil Day, Maria-Helena Semedo, an official from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, said it takes 1,000 years to form just three centimeters of topsoil — the nutrient-rich surface layer that plants need to grow. Given the current rate of soil degradation (退化), Semedo warned that 100% of the world’s topsoil could disappear in just 60 years. Scientists warn that the long-term loss of farmable soil could have a disastrous impact on agricultural production. “We rely entirely on agriculture to survive,” says ecologist Steven D. Allison. “And agriculture cannot exist without healthy soil.” The biggest threat to soil is industrial farming. The heart of large-scale food production is mono-cropping, the practice of growing a single crop repeatedly on the same land. While it can increase short-term output, it can be harmful because it hurts soil in the long term by destroying nutrients, reducing its ability to hold water, and lowering its defense capability to harmful insects and diseases. As a result, farmers have to use more fertilizers and insect killers, which further destroy the microorganisms in the soil. Worse still, mono-cropping is often paired with tillage (翻耕). This practice breaks down colonies of bacteria and fungi — tiny organisms that work hard to produce nutrients for plants. The good news is that soil degradation is absolutely solvable, according to Allison. “We have long-proven methods to improve soil quality,” he notes. These methods are generally called regenerative (再生的) agriculture. By growing diverse crops, this approach builds up healthy soil ecosystems. It not only protects topsoil but also helps restore and rebuild it. Consumers can drive changes to the food system from the bottom up by choosing to buy produce from farmers who practice regenerative agriculture. “Everyone has a role to play,” Allison says. “We all need to open our eyes and learn more about the soil beneath our feet.” 28. What does paragraph 1 say about the topsoil? A. Its formation is time-consuming. B. It can be easily influenced by weather. C. Its nutrients are mainly from farm crops. D. It can be renewed quickly after being damaged. 29. Why is mono-cropping harmful? A. It reduces short-term output. B. It makes the soil hold too much water. C. It destroys the soil ecosystem. D. It increases farmers’ economic pressure. 30. What does Allison advise consumers to do? A. Maintain their daily consumption habits. B. Turn to local farmers for daily necessities. C. Keep a close watch on global soil degradation. D. Support farmers using regenerative agricultural methods. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Learn More About the Topsoil B. Industrial Farming: A Risk to Earth C. Save Our Soil Through Better Farming D. Regenerative Agriculture: A New Science 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了表层土壤形成缓慢、退化危机及工业化农业危害，倡导再生农业以保护土壤。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In now-famous remarks marking the first-ever World Soil Day, Maria-Helena Semedo, an official from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, said it takes 1,000 years to form just three centimeters of topsoil — the nutrient-rich surface layer that plants need to grow.(在纪念首个“世界土壤日”的著名讲话中，联合国粮农组织官员玛丽亚·海伦娜·塞梅多指出，仅形成三厘米厚的表层土壤——即植物赖以生长的富含养分的地表层——就需耗时千年)”可知，表层土壤的形成过程极为漫长，耗时极久。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“While it can increase short-term output, it can be harmful because it hurts soil in the long term by destroying nutrients, reducing its ability to hold water, and lowering its defense capability to harmful insects and diseases.(尽管单一耕作能在短期内提高产量，但从长远来看却危害甚大：它会破坏土壤养分，削弱其保水能力，并降低抵御病虫害的防御能力)”可知，单一作物种植破坏了土壤中的微生物群落及生态平衡，即破坏了土壤生态系统。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Consumers can drive changes to the food system from the bottom up by choosing to buy produce from farmers who practice regenerative agriculture.(消费者可以通过选购采用再生农业模式耕作的农产品，自下而上地推动粮食体系的变革)”可知，Allison建议消费者支持那些采用再生农业方法的农民。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章首先指出了土壤退化的严重危机，接着分析了工业化农业（特别是单一耕作）的危害，最后提出了解决方案——再生农业。C项“通过更好的农耕方式拯救我们的土壤”准确涵盖了问题、原因与对策，最能概括全文主旨。 What if we could fight farm weeds with a precise strike instead of blanket chemicals? This vision is now becoming a reality in the farmlands of China. The HG LaserWeederr, a new machine developed by Huagong Tech, marks a major breakthrough in precision agriculture by making targeted weed control a practical reality. This advancement responds directly to the persistent problems associated with traditional farming. Decades of heavy reliance on chemical herbicides (除草剂) have caused significant environmental harm, including soil degradation and water pollution. For China, a nation with vast agricultural lands, finding a sustainable solution is a matter of particular urgency. So, how does this “robot farmer” work? At its core, it combines artificial intelligence with advanced light technology. Its AI-powered visual system, trained on a vast database of plant images, acts as a smart “eye” that can distinguish weeds from crops in milliseconds. Once a weed is spotted, the robot delivers a precise laser beam (激光束) to each weed’s growth center, destroying key cells and causing the plant to die naturally, all without harming the surrounding crops or the soil. The advantages of this approach are substantial. In terms of efficiency, an advanced model equipped with 32 laser heads can destroy up to 320,000 weeds per hour, which is four to eight times more efficient than traditional methods. Through continuous operation, it achieves a weed control rate of over 95%, far outperforming hand weeding and obviating the need for this back-breaking task. Ecologically, it significantly reduces the use of chemicals, thereby cutting off a primary source of agricultural pollution. The introduction of this technology is part of a broader shift toward automated and sustainable agriculture in China and abroad. As farms worldwide seek to enhance efficiency while minimizing environmental impact, robotic solutions like the Hg LaserWeeder are likely to become increasingly common. This technology signals a move toward precision agriculture, where data-driven tools enable farmers to manage their crops with greater accuracy and less dependence on chemicals, pointing the way for a cleaner, more efficient future for farming. 32. What is the main factor behind the development of the Hg LaserWeeder? A. The shortage of clean water. B. The vast farmlands in China. C. The pollution from chemicals. D. The failing power of herbicides. 33. What is the main role of the visual system in the Hg LaserWeeder? A. To deliver laser beams. B. To protect nearby crops. C. To capture plant images. D. To identify target weeds. 34. What does the underlined word “obviating” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Facing. B. Removing. C. Sharing. D. Delaying. 35. What can we infer about future agriculture from the last paragraph? A. It will rely more on smart robotic tools. B. It will witness more global cooperation. C. It will prioritize environment over yields. D. It will improve the social status of farmers. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了华工科技研发的新型机器HG LaserWeeder，介绍了其研发背景、工作原理、优势以及该技术对国内外精准可持续农业发展的意义。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Decades of heavy reliance on chemical herbicides (除草剂) have caused significant environmental harm, including soil degradation and water pollution. For China, a nation with vast agricultural lands, finding a sustainable solution is a matter of particular urgency.(几十年来，对化学除草剂的严重依赖已经对环境造成了重大危害，包括土壤退化和水污染。对于中国这个农业大国来说，找到一个可持续的解决方案尤为紧迫。)”可知，HG LaserWeeder研发的主要因素是化学物质造成的污染。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Its AI-powered visual system, trained on a vast database of plant images, acts as a smart “eye” that can distinguish weeds from crops in milliseconds.(其人工智能视觉系统基于庞大的植物图像数据库进行训练，就像一只智能“眼睛”，能在毫秒内区分杂草和作物。)”可知，HG LaserWeeder视觉系统的主要作用是识别目标杂草。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Through continuous operation, it achieves a weed control rate of over 95%, far outperforming hand weeding and obviating the need for this back-breaking task.(经持续作业，其除草率超95%，效果远超人工除草，并且obviating了这项繁重劳作的需求。)” 可知，激光除草效率极高，不再需要人工除草，由此推断obviating 表示“消除、免去”，与Removing含义相近。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“As farms worldwide seek to enhance efficiency while minimizing environmental impact, robotic solutions like the Hg LaserWeeder are likely to become increasingly common. This technology signals a move toward precision agriculture, where data-driven tools enable farmers to manage their crops with greater accuracy and less dependence on chemicals, pointing the way for a cleaner, more efficient future for farming.(随着全球农场寻求在提高效率的同时尽量减少对环境的影响，像Hg LaserWeeder这样的机器人解决方案可能会越来越普遍。这项技术标志着向精准农业的转变，数据驱动的工具使农民能够更精确地管理作物，减少对化学物质的依赖，为更清洁、更高效的农业未来指明了方向。)”可推知，未来的农业将更多地依赖智能机器人工具。 Museums, once quiet places filled with history, are now full of digital excitement.

Sally had been playing football all summer. She really enjoyed running around with the other players in her bright orange uniform, chasing the black and white ball across the grassy field. As much as shewed, though, Sally still had not scored one single goal. Before each game, they had a practice session. The coach showed Sally and her team how to pass the ball to each other and take shots at the goal. Sally was pretty good at passing the ball, but even during practices, she couldn't kick the ball past the goalkeeper. She wondered if she should quit football and join a different club. “Don’t give up,” said the coach. But it was half-time, and Sally was feeling frustrated (沮丧). She was trying! Every time she got a chance to kick the ball, it would go in the wrong direction or a player from the other team would take control of it. She sipped at her cola and pouted (撅嘴). The break was over and the referee blew his whistle to start the game again. The two teams walked back onto the field, both determined to win. Sally bent, tied up her shoelace and heard her mother whisper in her ear. “Stay focused. Keep your eyes on the ball. Look for an opportunity to get the ball. You can do it.” Sally stood up and took a deep breath. Even if she didn't get one goal all summer, she knew that she had tried her best. That was something to be proud of. So she smiled at her mother and headed to her position. The whistle blew, and the game continued. The score was tied with one goal each. The green team was pretty good, but Sally's orange team was fast. The girls' ponytails bounced as they ran, with many feet kicking frantically (拼命地) at the ball when it came near them. It was a rather boring game and Sally's heart was no longer in it. 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。 Sally started daydreaming about joining other school clubs. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Recalling her mother's words. Sally was woken from her daydream. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Sally started daydreaming about joining other school clubs. She could be a member of the hip hop club, which her best friend Tracy kept talking about. She imagined herself dancing on stage of a big auditorium with thousands of people cheering for her. She could also try a different sport, like jogging or cycling. Anyway, football would be her last choice. Just as her mind was wandering, she saw a familiar face in the crowd. It was her mother. “Stay focused. You can do it.” Recalling her mother’s words, Sally was woken from her daydream. At that very moment, her teammate passed the ball to her. She took control of it and dribbled it between her feet, moving forward toward the net of the green team. She passed a few players and was soon positioned right in front of the net. Focused on the ball, she kicked it as hard as she could. The referee blew her whistle. “Goal!”. Sally’s team won. Her mom was right. All she had to do was stay focused. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了萨莉是一名足球队队员，非常热爱足球，但是她一个球也没有进过，教练鼓励她，母亲告诉她“保持专注。眼睛盯着球。寻找机会得到球。你可以的。”但是在比赛的时候，萨莉走神了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“萨莉开始做参加其他学校俱乐部的白日梦。”可知，第一段可描写萨莉脑子里想象的内容。 ②由第二段首句内容“萨莉想起母亲的话，从白日梦中醒来。”可知，第二段可描写萨莉从白日梦了清醒过来，专注踢球的过程。 2.续写线索：想象成自己成为俱乐部成员——尝试其他运动——熟悉的面孔——回过神来——专注踢球——感悟 3.词汇激活（一个词汇要写出相近的表达） 行为类 ①想象：imagine/ envision/ suppose ②尝试：try/ attempt ③回过神来：come back to earth/ be woken from 情绪类 专注：stay focused/ be absorbed in 【点睛】[高分句型1] She took control of it and dribbled it between her feet, moving forward toward the net of the green team.（现在分词做伴随状语） [高分句型2] She could be a member of the hip hop club, which her best friend Tracy kept talking about.（由关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型3] Just as her mind was wandering, she saw a familiar face in the crowd.（as引导的时间状语从句的省略） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始听下面几段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段录音播放两遍。For such a small room, I have to pay you three hundred pounds a month.
