The incident made me realize I’d grown overly addicted to AI suggestions. Researchers name this phenomenon “The Great Smoothing” — AI tools gradually remove all individuality from our writing in pursuit of convenience. My English assignment clearly exposed the problem. I wrote an essay on “Is It Selfish to Pursue Risky Sports?”. Hoping for polished sentences, I used tailored AI writing tools to revise my draft. Though the essay was logically smooth, my teacher marked it as lacking a personal voice. This puzzling result is supported by a 2024 New York University study, which finds essays polished by user-tailored AI tools share repetitive safe phrases, mixing all writers’ styles into uniform text. AI’s influence stretches beyond writing to culture and daily speech. When I wrote about local films and food, AI kept suggesting Western items instead of regional specialties, which is consistent with a 2025 Cornell study on Western preference in AI text. Even worse, many of my classmates overuse AI-favored words in presentations, a trend recorded by researchers at a top European research institute. In the long term, constant training on AI-generated texts will result in “model collapse”, erasing rare phrases and cultural expressions. At first, I only valued the convenience of AI’s grammar correction. Further research revealed its lasting harm — it narrows users’ vocabularies and pushes global users toward standard American English. Surveys show AI footprints widely exist in academic papers, corporate releases, and official documents. Though AI helps people without formal writing skills, it creates a homogeneous (同种类的) writing pattern that weakens individual voices. Now I treat AI as a brainstorming partner instead of a replacement for writing, and I compose all final drafts independently. Schools also provide AI literacy courses to teach students how to preserve their original thinking. I finally understand the core truth: Writing equals thinking. We must never let AI smooth away our genuine voices. 4. Which statement may belong to the phenomenon “The Great Smoothing”? A. AI replaces writers’ lively words. B. AI confirms writers’ creative essays. C. AI keeps writers’ individual expressions. D. AI polishes writers’ personal documents. 5. How might the teacher feel while reading the author’s essay in paragraph 2? A. Amazed. B. Relieved. C. Disappointed. D. Embarrassed. 6. What is a possible effect of AI on language according to the text? A. It will enrich rare regional terms. B. It will limit users’ vocabulary range. C. It will shape personal writing styles. D. It will erase standard American English. 7. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. AI can read students’ genuine inner needs. B. Literacy courses are the core of original writing. C. Schools should be dependent on AI for real teaching. D. A unique voice in writing stands for true self-expression. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要探讨AI工具“大平滑”现象对个人表达与文化多样性的潜在危害。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Last week, I wrote down notes about my hometown snacks on my phone, yet the predictive keyboard powered by artificial intelligence (AI) kept replacing my vivid descriptions with plain words. (上周，我在手机上记录关于家乡小吃的笔记，但由AI驱动的预测键盘不断用平淡的词语替换我生动的描述)”及“Researchers name this phenomenon “The Great Smoothing” — AI tools gradually remove all individuality from our writing in pursuit of convenience. (研究人员将这种现象命名为“大平滑”——AI工具为了追求便利，逐渐将我们写作中的所有个性抹去)”可知，AI替换作者生动鲜活的描述性词汇，属于“大平滑”现象。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Though the essay was logically smooth, my teacher marked it as lacking a personal voice. (尽管这篇文章逻辑通顺，我的老师却批注它缺少个人表达风格)”可知，老师的评价是负面的，读到这篇没有个人特色的作文时，会感到失望。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Further research revealed its lasting harm — it narrows users’ vocabularies and pushes global users toward standard American English. (进一步研究揭示了它的长期危害——它会缩小用户的词汇量，推动全球用户向标准美式英语靠拢)”可知，AI对语言的一个可能影响是限制用户的词汇范围。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“I finally understand the core truth: Writing equals thinking. We must never let AI smooth away our genuine voices. (我最终明白了核心真谛：写作等同于思考。我们绝不能让AI磨平我们真实的表达声音)”可知，作者想要传递的核心观点是，写作中独特的声音代表真实的自我表达。 C Greenland sharks, the mysterious giants lying low in the deep, cold waters of the Arctic and North Atlantic, are known for their extraordinarily long life — some can live for over 400 years. Scientists have long wondered how these creatures manage to outlive all other vertebrates (脊椎动物). Through a series of studies, they desire to reveal the secrets behind their long life. Lily Fogg, a biologist at the University of Basel in Switzerland, and her team focused on the sharks’ eyes. Examining tissue from ten Greenland sharks, including some up to 150 years old, they found that these animals possess all the necessary cellular structures for vision in the deep sea’s dim light. Surprisingly, the eye tissue showed little sign of aging. Fogg suggests this may be due to highly active DNA repair mechanisms that prevent cell death and tissue degeneration. A separate study of the sharks’ sets of genes also pointed to enhanced DNA repair functions. However, not all organs benefit from such protection. Alessandro Cellerino, an Italian physiologist, led a study on the sharks’ hearts. Examining six Greenland sharks, his team discovered that their hearts accumulate tough scars and cellular damage over time. In humans, similar scarring would indicate cardiovascular (心血管) disease, hardening the heart and reducing its pumping efficiency. Catherine Macdonald, an ecologist at the University of Miami, finds these findings fascinating. She notes that any animal with such a long lifetime must possess both repair and maintenance abilities. While studying living Greenland sharks is difficult owing to their deep-sea habitat — they can dive to 2,200 meters, Macdonald believes that understanding their long life can offer valuable insights into human aging. However, she cautions against drawing quick conclusions on human health, emphasizing that these discoveries are just the beginning of a much longer scientific journey. 8. What is the scientists’ attitude to Greenland sharks’ long life? A. Shocked. B. Curious. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 9. What can be inferred about Greenland sharks’ hearts? A. They stop functioning at an old age. B. They age faster than their eyes. C. They are free of age-related injuries. D. They can repair damage thoroughly. 10. What does Macdonald think of the findings? A. They are difficult to understand. B. They lack corresponding evidence. C. They offer conclusions on human health. D. They are important for further study. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. How Greenland Sharks Resist Aging B. How Greenland Sharks Live in the Sea C. How Greenland Sharks Get Genetic Protection D. How Greenland Sharks Keep Healthy for Long 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了科学家对格陵兰鲨鱼长寿机制的研究，涉及眼睛组织、心脏状况以及对其抗衰老研究的评价。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Scientists have long wondered how these creatures manage to outlive all other vertebrates (脊椎动物). Through a series of studies, they desire to reveal the secrets behind their long life. (科学家们长期以来一直想知道这些生物是如何比其他所有脊椎动物都长寿的。通过一系列研究，他们渴望揭开其长寿背后的秘密。)”可知，科学家们对格陵兰鲨鱼的长寿现象充满好奇，希望揭示其背后的秘密。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Surprisingly, the eye tissue showed little sign of aging. (令人惊讶的是，眼部组织几乎没有衰老的迹象。)”以及第三段“Examining six Greenland sharks, his team discovered that their hearts accumulate tough scars and cellular damage over time. (他的团队检查了六条格陵兰鲨鱼，发现它们的心脏随着时间的推移会积累坚硬的疤痕和细胞损伤。)”可知，格陵兰鲨鱼的眼睛几乎没有衰老迹象，而心脏却积累了疤痕和细胞损伤。通过两者对比可以推知，心脏的衰老速度快于眼睛。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“While studying living Greenland sharks is difficult owing to their deep-sea habitat — they can dive to 2,200 meters, Macdonald believes that understanding their long life can offer valuable insights into human aging. However, she cautions against drawing quick conclusions on human health, emphasizing that these discoveries are just the beginning of a much longer scientific journey. (尽管由于深海栖息地——它们可以潜到2200米深——研究活的格陵兰鲨鱼很困难，但Macdonald认为，了解它们的长寿可以为人类衰老提供有价值的见解。然而，她告诫不要对人类健康迅速下结论，强调这些发现只是更漫长科学旅程的开始。)”可知，Macdonald认为这些发现对人类衰老研究具有重要价值，但强调研究尚处于起步阶段，需要进一步深入研究。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章第一段引出格陵兰鲨鱼长寿之谜，第二段介绍其对眼睛的保护机制，第三段说明并非格陵兰鲨的所有器官都有抗衰保护，其心脏会随时间积累疤痕和细胞损伤，第四段讨论研究意义与局限。全文围绕科学家如何探索格陵兰鲨鱼抵抗衰老的机制展开。A选项“How Greenland Sharks Resist Aging (格陵兰鲨鱼如何抵抗衰老)”准确概括了文章核心内容，贴合文意，适合作标题。 D Labor shortages in agriculture are driving growing interest in robotic systems that can automate harvesting. Yet some crops remain especially challenging for machines. Tomatoes, for example, grow in clusters (簇), meaning robots must identify and remove only the ripe fruit while leaving unripe tomatoes attached to the vine. Doing this reliably requires careful judgement and precise control. To address this problem, Professor Takuya Fujinaga from Osaka Metropolitan University developed a method that allows robots to assess how easy each tomato is to harvest before attempting to pick it. Fujinaga’s approach combines image recognition with statistical analysis to determine the best direction from which to harvest each tomato. The system analyzes visual information about the fruit itself, the shape and position of its stems, and whether the tomato is partially hidden by leaves or other parts of the plant. By weighing these factors, the robot can make more informed control decisions and select the approach that offers the highest chance of a successful harvest. The model represents a shift in focus from the traditional “detection/recognition” model to what Fujinaga calls a “harvest ease estimation”. “This moves beyond simply asking ‘Can a robot pick a tomato?’ to thinking about ‘How likely is a successful pick?’, which is more meaningful for real-world farming,” he explained. In trials, Fujinaga’s system achieved a successful harvest rate of 81%, significantly outperforming expectations. Around one quarter of those successful picks involved tomatoes collected from the right or left side after earlier attempts from the front had failed, indicating that the robot adjusted its strategy when it encountered difficulty. The findings underscore how complex robotic fruit harvesting can be, with factors such as clustered growth, stem shape, surrounding leaves, and visual obstruction (阻碍) all playing critical roles. “This research establishes ‘ease of harvesting’ as a quantitatively evaluable metric (度量), bringing us one step closer to the realization of agricultural robots that can make informed decisions and act intelligently,” Fujinaga said. “This is expected to introduce a new form of agriculture where robots and humans collaborate.” 12. What poses a problem in robotic harvest of tomatoes? A. Making judgments. B. Removing clusters. C. Adjusting heights. D. Measuring shapes. 13. What does Fujinaga’s system aim to achieve in fruit harvesting? A. Energy conservation. B. Time efficiency. C. Safe storage. D. Easy harvest. 14. What did Fujinaga’s model do after its unsuccessful picks? A. It got detailed visual information. B. It picked tomatoes from different directions. C. It identified the maturity of tomatoes. D. It gave up the tomatoes in the front. 15. What does Fujinaga suggest in the last paragraph? A. Robots will one day replace human farmers. B. An accurate metric system is a must in farming. C. Robots will work alongside humans in farming. D. The success of agricultural robots was a milestone. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了农业劳动力短缺推动采摘机器人研发。藤永拓也教授研发新系统，评估番茄采摘难易度并调整采摘方向，采摘成功率达 81%，助力实现人机协作的新型农业。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Labor shortages in agriculture are driving growing interest in robotic systems that can automate harvesting. Yet some crops remain especially challenging for machines. Tomatoes, for example, grow in clusters (簇), meaning robots must identify and remove only the ripe fruit while leaving unripe tomatoes attached to the vine. Doing this reliably requires careful judgement and precise control. (农业劳动力短缺促使人们对能够实现采摘自动化的机器人系统日益关注。然而，某些作物对机器仍具有特殊挑战。例如，番茄以簇状生长(即成串)，这意味着机器人必须仅识别并采摘成熟的果实，同时将未成熟的番茄留在藤蔓上。要可靠地完成这一任务，需要审慎的判断和精准的控制。)”可知，做出判断是机器人采摘西红柿时面临的难题。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To address this problem, Professor Takuya Fujinaga from Osaka Metropolitan University developed a method that allows robots to assess how easy each tomato is to harvest before attempting to pick it. (为了解决这一问题，大阪市立大学的藤永拓也教授开发出一种方法，使机器人在尝试采摘番茄之前，能够评估每颗番茄的采摘难度。)”可知，该系统旨在评估采摘难度，从而实现更容易的采摘。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Around one quarter of those successful picks involved tomatoes collected from the right or left side after earlier attempts from the front had failed, indicating that the robot adjusted its strategy when it encountered difficulty. (大约四分之一的成功采摘涉及在正面尝试失败后，从右侧或左侧采集的番茄，这表明机器人在遇到困难时会调整其策略。)”可知，机器人在正面尝试采摘失败后，会调整策略，从左侧或右侧(即不同的方向)继续尝试采摘。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This is expected to introduce a new form of agriculture where robots and humans collaborate. (这预计将引入一种新型农业，即机器人与人类协作。)”可知，Fujinaga暗示未来机器人将在农业中与人类并肩协同工作。 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。 Have you noticed how often you forget even simple things and instantly reach for your phone to check them?

Even in middle school I would stay up very late. I would feel completely at ease doing my homework in bed, with light music on. I found comfort in keeping myself awake when everyone else had gone to bed, and I loved the silence of the night. My parents urged me to get out of this so-called unhealthy habit, but their repeated requests fell on deaf ears. Fast forward to my first year of college. I still loved the night and would stay up until unruly hours for no apparent reason, chatting online and watching videos. When I finally started to study, I would race through the assigned work, often well past midnight. My roommates would tell me to go to bed and get up early the following morning to do it instead. Get up early to do my homework? No way! I would never do that. Then, one day last term, I did exactly that. Bent over my laptop while sitting on the bed in the corner of my room, I suddenly felt a pounding headache, and had to lie down. Unable to keep my eyes open, I decided I had no choice but to finish my homework the next morning. I woke up at 6am. Hardly had I written half a page when I felt a sharp pain in my chest. At the school clinic, a doctor, with a serious expression on his face, handed me a medical report. “You’re 20, but your heart is 40!” he said. A cold wave went through me. I realized that years of living as a late-night person had turned my heart into an overworked engine. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右。 (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Struck by the doctor’s warning, I knew I had to make a change. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Slowly but surely, my efforts to adjust to the new routine paid off. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Struck by the doctor’s warning, I knew I had to make a change. That very night, I initiated my battle against my deep-rooted habits. I forcibly switched off my laptop and phone at 10 p.m., placing them completely out of reach. However, my rebellious biological clock refused to cooperate. I tossed and turned in the darkness, the silence of the room amplifying my anxiety. The urge to grab my phone and drown in videos was overwhelmingly tempting. Just as my willpower was about to crumble, the doctor's stern voice and that terrifying sharp pain in my chest echoed in my mind, anchoring me back to reality. I squeezed my eyes shut, practicing deep breathing until exhaustion finally claimed me. Slowly but surely, my efforts to adjust to the new routine paid off. The mornings, which used to be my greatest enemy, gradually transformed into a welcoming friend. Instead of racing through assignments with a foggy brain at midnight, I found myself tackling them with a clear and focused mind in the golden sunlight. Not only did the heavy burden on my chest vanish, but an unprecedented sense of vitality also flowed through my veins. When I proudly showed my parents my improved medical report during the holiday, their relieved smiles were my best reward. I finally realized that true comfort isn't found in the unruly hours of the night, but in the vibrant rhythm of a disciplined life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了作者长期熬夜导致心脏出现问题，医生警告后作者决定改变作息习惯，最终成功调整并恢复健康的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句提示可知，本段应描述作者开始改变熬夜习惯的具体行动和遇到的困难。 ②由第二段首句提示可知，本段应描述改变带来的积极效果和作者的感悟。 2. 续写线索： 决定改变——晚上强制关机——失眠挣扎——坚持——努力得到了回报——得到父母认可——感悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： 关掉：switch off/turn off/shut off 处理: tackle/handle/deal with 消失：vanish/fade away 情绪类： 令人恐惧的：terrifying/hair-raising/horrifying 自豪地：proudly/with pride 欣慰的：relieved/gratified 【点睛】【高分句型1】Just as my willpower was about to crumble, the doctor's stern voice and that terrifying sharp pain in my chest echoed in my mind, anchoring me back to reality.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句和现在分词短语作状语） 【高分句型2】Not only did the heavy burden on my chest vanish, but an unprecedented sense of vitality also flowed through my veins.（运用了部分倒装句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 赣州市赣县中学秋学期高三英语九月阶段课后巩固训练 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段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，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。 1.

Yuanshan Education Foundation in Beijing, China is a non-public foundation, providing special STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) courses and other high-quality educational resources to primary school students in rural China. The foundation aims to develop the students’ learning capacity and interest in STEM, being committed to using technology to promote the balanced development of education for the students in rural areas through the Internet. The Project Details We independently develop STEM courses through our project. It adopts the co-teacher teaching mode, which allows an expert teacher to give live STEM lessons online, and a local teacher to assist the class and guide the students offline. The courses start with the most urgently needed subjects in the countryside. The project will carry out 12 STEM courses in a semester and provide rural students with experiment materials (four students share one experiment kit). In the class, guided by the two teachers, students will learn knowledge in engineering, architecture, transportation, media, and so on through an experimental approach, which will create their interest in STEM subjects and improve their learning capacities. At the same time, various STEM competitions will be held for students. The History and Need Within approximately 7 months, 80 STEM courses were delivered, covering 12 schools, 40 classes, 40 teachers, and more than 1,800 rural students. This project has also delivered 12,000 experiment kits to the local students. Your help means a lot to us and the kids. In the future, the funds we receive will enable more rural children to take STEM courses, learn science knowledge, and improve their learning capacities. Come and build a brighter future for the kids together! For more information, click here. 1. What is the main purpose of the foundation? A. To inform the importance of STEM study. B.

Where can the text be taken from? A. A financial paper. B. A charity website. C. A research report. D. A travel brochure. B Last week, I wrote down notes about my hometown snacks on my phone, yet the predictive keyboard powered by artificial intelligence (AI) kept replacing my vivid descriptions with plain words. The incident made me realize I’d grown overly addicted to AI suggestions. Researchers name this phenomenon “The Great Smoothing” — AI tools gradually remove all individuality from our writing in pursuit of convenience. My English assignment clearly exposed the problem. I wrote an essay on “Is It Selfish to Pursue Risky Sports?”. Hoping for polished sentences, I used tailored AI writing tools to revise my draft. Though the essay was logically smooth, my teacher marked it as lacking a personal voice. This puzzling result is supported by a 2024 New York University study, which finds essays polished by user-tailored AI tools share repetitive safe phrases, mixing all writers’ styles into uniform text. AI’s influence stretches beyond writing to culture and daily speech. When I wrote about local films and food, AI kept suggesting Western items instead of regional specialties, which is consistent with a 2025 Cornell study on Western preference in AI text. Even worse, many of my classmates overuse AI-favored words in presentations, a trend recorded by researchers at a top European research institute. In the long term, constant training on AI-generated texts will result in “model collapse”, erasing rare phrases and cultural expressions. At first, I only valued the convenience of AI’s grammar correction. Further research revealed its lasting harm — it narrows users’ vocabularies and pushes global users toward standard American English. Surveys show AI footprints widely exist in academic papers, corporate releases, and official documents. Though AI helps people without formal writing skills, it creates a homogeneous (同种类的) writing pattern that weakens individual voices. Now I treat AI as a brainstorming partner instead of a replacement for writing, and I compose all final drafts independently. Schools also provide AI literacy courses to teach students how to preserve their original thinking. I finally understand the core truth: Writing equals thinking. We must never let AI smooth away our genuine voices. 4. Which statement may belong to the phenomenon “The Great Smoothing”? A. AI replaces writers’ lively words. B. AI confirms writers’ creative essays. C. AI keeps writers’ individual expressions. D. AI polishes writers’ personal documents. 5. How might the teacher feel while reading the author’s essay in paragraph 2? A. Amazed. B. Relieved. C. Disappointed. D. Embarrassed. 6. What is a possible effect of AI on language according to the text? A. It will enrich rare regional terms. B. It will limit users’ vocabulary range. C. It will shape personal writing styles. D. It will erase standard American English. 7. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. AI can read students’ genuine inner needs. B. Literacy courses are the core of original writing. C. Schools should be dependent on AI for real teaching. D. A unique voice in writing stands for true self-expression. C Greenland sharks, the mysterious giants lying low in the deep, cold waters of the Arctic and North Atlantic, are known for their extraordinarily long life — some can live for over 400 years. Scientists have long wondered how these creatures manage to outlive all other vertebrates (脊椎动物). Through a series of studies, they desire to reveal the secrets behind their long life. Lily Fogg, a biologist at the University of Basel in Switzerland, and her team focused on the sharks’ eyes. Examining tissue from ten Greenland sharks, including some up to 150 years old, they found that these animals possess all the necessary cellular structures for vision in the deep sea’s dim light. Surprisingly, the eye tissue showed little sign of aging. Fogg suggests this may be due to highly active DNA repair mechanisms that prevent cell death and tissue degeneration. A separate study of the sharks’ sets of genes also pointed to enhanced DNA repair functions. However, not all organs benefit from such protection. Alessandro Cellerino, an Italian physiologist, led a study on the sharks’ hearts. Examining six Greenland sharks, his team discovered that their hearts accumulate tough scars and cellular damage over time. In humans, similar scarring would indicate cardiovascular (心血管) disease, hardening the heart and reducing its pumping efficiency. Catherine Macdonald, an ecologist at the University of Miami, finds these findings fascinating. She notes that any animal with such a long lifetime must possess both repair and maintenance abilities. While studying living Greenland sharks is difficult owing to their deep-sea habitat — they can dive to 2,200 meters, Macdonald believes that understanding their long life can offer valuable insights into human aging. However, she cautions against drawing quick conclusions on human health, emphasizing that these discoveries are just the beginning of a much longer scientific journey. 8. What is the scientists’ attitude to Greenland sharks’ long life? A. Shocked. B. Curious. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 9. What can be inferred about Greenland sharks’ hearts? A. They stop functioning at an old age. B. They age faster than their eyes. C. They are free of age-related injuries. D. They can repair damage thoroughly. 10. What does Macdonald think of the findings? A. They are difficult to understand. B. They lack corresponding evidence. C. They offer conclusions on human health. D. They are important for further study. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. How Greenland Sharks Resist Aging B. How Greenland Sharks Live in the Sea C. How Greenland Sharks Get Genetic Protection D. How Greenland Sharks Keep Healthy for Long D Labor shortages in agriculture are driving growing interest in robotic systems that can automate harvesting. Yet some crops remain especially challenging for machines. Tomatoes, for example, grow in clusters (簇), meaning robots must identify and remove only the ripe fruit while leaving unripe tomatoes attached to the vine. Doing this reliably requires careful judgement and precise control. To address this problem, Professor Takuya Fujinaga from Osaka Metropolitan University developed a method that allows robots to assess how easy each tomato is to harvest before attempting to pick it. Fujinaga’s approach combines image recognition with statistical analysis to determine the best direction from which to harvest each tomato. The system analyzes visual information about the fruit itself, the shape and position of its stems, and whether the tomato is partially hidden by leaves or other parts of the plant. By weighing these factors, the robot can make more informed control decisions and select the approach that offers the highest chance of a successful harvest. The model represents a shift in focus from the traditional “detection/recognition” model to what Fujinaga calls a “harvest ease estimation”. “This moves beyond simply asking ‘Can a robot pick a tomato?’ to thinking about ‘How likely is a successful pick?’, which is more meaningful for real-world farming,” he explained. In trials, Fujinaga’s system achieved a successful harvest rate of 81%, significantly outperforming expectations. Around one quarter of those successful picks involved tomatoes collected from the right or left side after earlier attempts from the front had failed, indicating that the robot adjusted its strategy when it encountered difficulty. The findings underscore how complex robotic fruit harvesting can be, with factors such as clustered growth, stem shape, surrounding leaves, and visual obstruction (阻碍) all playing critical roles. “This research establishes ‘ease of harvesting’ as a quantitatively evaluable metric (度量), bringing us one step closer to the realization of agricultural robots that can make informed decisions and act intelligently,” Fujinaga said. “This is expected to introduce a new form of agriculture where robots and humans collaborate.” 12. What poses a problem in robotic harvest of tomatoes? A. Making judgments. B. Removing clusters. C. Adjusting heights. D. Measuring shapes. 13. What does Fujinaga’s system aim to achieve in fruit harvesting? A. Energy conservation. B. Time efficiency. C. Safe storage. D. Easy harvest. 14. What did Fujinaga’s model do after its unsuccessful picks? A. It got detailed visual information. B. It picked tomatoes from different directions. C. It identified the maturity of tomatoes. D. It gave up the tomatoes in the front. 15. What does Fujinaga suggest in the last paragraph? A. Robots will one day replace human farmers. B. An accurate metric system is a must in farming. C. Robots will work alongside humans in farming. D. The success of agricultural robots was a milestone. 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。 Have you noticed how often you forget even simple things and instantly reach for your phone to check them? In a world where answers appear in seconds, our memory has started to work differently. Dates, facts, phone numbers, and even personal memories get handed over to devices for safekeeping. ____16____ American psychologists once published an article in Science. ____17____ In an experiment, participants were asked to read and type 40 interesting facts. Half of the participants were told that these facts would be saved on the computer, while the other half were told that they would be deleted. Everyone was then asked to write down as many facts as possible from memory.

Even in middle school I would stay up very late. I would feel completely at ease doing my homework in bed, with light music on. I found comfort in keeping myself awake when everyone else had gone to bed, and I loved the silence of the night. My parents urged me to get out of this so-called unhealthy habit, but their repeated requests fell on deaf ears. Fast forward to my first year of college. I still loved the night and would stay up until unruly hours for no apparent reason, chatting online and watching videos. When I finally started to study, I would race through the assigned work, often well past midnight. My roommates would tell me to go to bed and get up early the following morning to do it instead. Get up early to do my homework? No way! I would never do that. Then, one day last term, I did exactly that. Bent over my laptop while sitting on the bed in the corner of my room, I suddenly felt a pounding headache, and had to lie down. Unable to keep my eyes open, I decided I had no choice but to finish my homework the next morning. I woke up at 6am. Hardly had I written half a page when I felt a sharp pain in my chest. At the school clinic, a doctor, with a serious expression on his face, handed me a medical report. “You’re 20, but your heart is 40!” he said. A cold wave went through me. I realized that years of living as a late-night person had turned my heart into an overworked engine. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右。 (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Struck by the doctor’s warning, I knew I had to make a change. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Slowly but surely, my efforts to adjust to the new routine paid off. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
