Scientists from China’s Shanghai Jiao Tong University are developing a robot “guide dog” to help blind people. The robot dog is about the size of an English bulldog but a little wider. It has six legs instead of four. The extra legs make it more stable and help it move faster.
The robot is being tested in Shanghai. With the help of cameras and AI, the robot dog can see, listen and speak with blind people. It can help them during daily trips outside and be a “friend” at home. Blind people can also use a cane (手杖) to control the robot’s walking and running speed. The robot can even recognize the traffic light—real guide dogs are unable to do that.
Li Fei and Zhu Sibin are helping test the robot. Li is totally blind and Zhu can only see a little. Zhu often uses a cane to move around. “The robot dog will make it easier to get into public places than with real guide dogs. I am happy to join in the test. It could change our lives in the near future,” Li said.
In China, there are about 17.31 million blind people, but there are only about 400 guide dogs. The new robot is trying to solve this problem. “We believe our robot will act as a pair of eyes for blind people,” said Professor Gao Peng, one of the scientists. He thinks there could be a large market for these robot dogs.
4. Why do scientists develop the robot dog?
A. To help blind people. B. To improve AI technology. C. To beat the British bulldog.
5. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. How the robot dog works. B. Where the robot dog can go. C. What the robot dog can do.
6. How does Li Fei help develop the robot dog?
A. He designs it. B. He helps test it. C. He brings it into public places.
7. What is Professor Gao Peng’s opinion about the robot dog?
A. It can treat blindness.
B. It has taken the place of real guide dogs.
C. It will have a large number of customers.
C
The violin concerto The Butterfly Lovers is widely recognized as one of the most significant masterpieces in the history of Chinese orchestral music. Composed in 1959 by He Zhanhao and Chen Gang, two students at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, this piece represents a perfect fusion of Eastern and Western musical traditions. It tells a tragic yet beautiful love story that has been passed down in Chinese folklore (民间传说) for over a thousand years, often compared to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
The story revolves around a young woman named Zhu Yingtai, who dresses up as a man to attend school, a benefit kept away from women in ancient times. There, she meets Liang Shanbo, and they become sworn brothers. After three years of studying together, they fall deeply in love. However, when Zhu is forced to return home, her father arranges a marriage for her to a wealthy man. Heartbroken, Liang dies of grief. On the day of her wedding, Zhu visits Liang’s grave, which magically opens up. She throws herself into it, and their spirits transform into a pair of butterflies, flying away together forever.
Musically, the concerto is structured in three parts: the happy meeting, the heartbreaking separation, and the metamorphosis. What makes this piece unique is how the solo violin copies the vocal style of Chinese opera, specifically the Yue Opera. The composers used Western symphonic techniques but mixed them with traditional Chinese pentatonic scales. When listening to the piece, one can hear the violin “singing” in a way that sounds distinctly Chinese.
The Butterfly Lovers has gone beyond cultural boundaries. It is frequently performed in international concert halls and has been arranged for various instruments, including the erhu and the guzheng. It shows that music is a universal language capable of expressing the deepest human emotions without the need for words. For students of music, it serves as an excellent example of how traditional culture can be revitalized through modern artistic forms.
8. The story of The Butterfly Lovers is often compared to __________.
A. The Sound of Music B. Swan Lake C. Romeo and Juliet
9. How do the lovers end up in the story?
A. They run away to another country.
B. They die and become butterflies.
C. They live happily ever after.
10. What makes the violin sound unique in this piece?
A. It is played very fast.
B. It mimics the style of Chinese opera.
C. It uses no bow.
11. What does The Butterfly Lovers show according to the passage?
A. It is more popular than Romeo and Juliet in Western countries.
B. Students must learn to play the violin to understand traditional culture.
C. Music can express strong feelings without using words.
D
Different kinds of music change our feelings. Some make us want to sing along. Others make us want to dance. Lullabies (摇篮曲) make babies and young kids feel calm. Lullabies are so calm that babies fall asleep quickly!
Though lullabies come from different places, these songs have a lot in common. They usually have short, easy words and simple tunes (曲调). The songs are slow, and people sing them in a soft voice with a calm beat.
Over the years, scientists have studied lullabies to find out more about their calming powers. Research has shown that lullabies can slow a baby’s heart, which is a sign of relaxation. Babies who hear lullabies fall asleep faster and sleep better than those who don’t.
There are a few reasons why lullabies are so calming for babies and others. For one thing, the calm, slow lullabies are similar to the sounds of the mother’s heartbeat and her voice. What’s more, lullabies let a listener know that someone caring for them is nearby. This makes whoever is hearing the songs feel safe. As a result, they’re relaxed.
However, the magic of lullabies doesn’t stop there. According to researchers, the person singing the lullabies gets just as much benefit as the listener. Singing these songs helps both the listener and the singer. So, if you need some peace, sing or listen to a lullaby.
12. The underlined word “calm” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A. angry B. exciting C. relaxing
13. What are lullabies like?
A. They are usually sung with a quick beat.
B. They have difficult words.
C. They have simple tunes and easy words.
14. What may happen to babies when they hear lullabies according to the research?
A. They’ll sing along with their mothers.
B. They will copy the sounds of the mother’s heartbeat.
C. They may soon fall asleep.
15. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Lullabies sound like the father’s heartbeat and voice.
B. Both the singer and the listener can get benefits from lullabies.
C. Babies only like lullabies from their own mothers.

As we all know, clothes are important to people. ____16____ Today, let’s take a look at the development of clothing materials and a great achievement—man-made materials.
In the past, people used natural materials to make their clothes. For example, they used animal fur to keep warm in cold weather. In the Middle Ages, clothes made of sheep wool were popular. ____17____ Shoes were made of leather (皮革). Only very rich people could wear silk and colorful clothes, as they were expensive.
____18____ But we also use man-made materials, which are cheaper. They have different qualities too—swimsuits are made of man-made cloth because they dry faster. Actually, our clothes usually have both natural and man-made materials. Fleece (绒头织物) is a very special man-made material. It’s from recycled plastic bottles. ____19____ Fleece is very warm and soft, and it’s also good for the environment because it helps reduce plastic waste.
In the future, we might wear clothes made of smart materials. These materials have tiny sensors (传感器) inside them that can collect energy from our bodies. ____20____ For example, a T-shirt made of smart materials could keep a football player cool during a game. This would be very helpful for athletes and people who work in hot conditions.
A. They can work for a long time with little energy.
B. This kind of material was warm and easy to find.
C. You only need about 25 plastic bottles to make a sweater.
D. And there are different clothing materials around us.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述航天科研工作者李伟从事月壤研究的工作日常、克服重重困难坚持工作,并且向中学生科普航天,展现中国航天人的付出与对探月事业的美好期许。
【21题详解】
句意:月球探测是一段漫长、充满挑战且意义重大的旅程,它需要成千上万航天工作者的努力。
动词require“需要”,探月工程这件宏大事业,需要大批航天人的付出、努力,故选efforts。competitions“竞赛”:文章没有比赛含义;arguments“争论”语义完全不符。
【22题详解】
句意:每天,他花费数小时仔细查看、研究月壤样本,分析它们的成分,寻找可以支持未来月球任务的有用资源。
spend time doing sth表示“花费时间做某事”;手上已有月壤样本,对样本做检查研究;后置looking for useful resources的对象是样本内部的有用物质,故选examining。
dealing with“处理”:对象大多是麻烦、难题;waiting for“等待”:如果只是等待样本,就无法进行后面的分析工作,语义不通。
【23题详解】
句意:他的工作十分累人,需要极大的耐心和对细节的专注,但他从不觉得疲惫,也从不抱怨。
but转折:工作本身是很累的,但是本人不抱怨。tiring“事物令人疲惫”修饰work,故选tiring。simple“简单的”、easy“容易的”:“需要极大耐心、注重细节”证明这份工作绝不简单轻松,排除。
【24题详解】
句意:有时,他必须在实验室工作到深夜去解决复杂的技术难题。
固定搭配solve problems意为“解决问题”;语境:留在实验室熬夜,目的就是攻克技术难题,故选solve。avoid“避免”:难题已经客观出现,科研人员要攻克难题,不是躲开回避难题,不符合科研场景;create“创造”:科研人员不会制造难题,语义错误。
【25题详解】
句意:因为紧急的工作任务,他常常错过重要的家庭聚会,但是他的家人完全支持他。
but转折逻辑:他常常缺席家庭活动,但是家人依旧全力支持他。副词修饰动词support。completely“完全地”,表达家人毫无保留的支持。comfortably“舒适地”:描述身体感受。“舒适地支持”中英文都不成立;支持是态度,不能用舒适修饰,搭配错误;obviously“明显地”:家人发自内心全力支持,不是“支持表现得很显眼”,不符合英文表达习惯。
【26题详解】
句意:他想要激发学生对于太空探索的兴趣,鼓励他们努力学习科学技术。
固定搭配arouse one’s interest 意为“激发某人的兴趣”;根据语境:给中学生开讲座科普航天,目的就是唤起学生对太空的兴趣,故选arouse。reduce“减少”:讲座的目的不是降低学生兴趣,和文章正向意图相反;lose“失去”:失去兴趣,语义和本句目标相悖。
【27题详解】
句意:他希望更多年轻人将来会追随他的脚步,投身中国航天事业,做出属于自己的贡献。
固定习语follow one’s steps意为“追随某人的脚步、效仿某人”;根据语境:希望年轻人效仿李伟,投身航天事业,故选follow。join“加入”:join后面接团体、组织、人群;不能接steps,语法搭配错误;leave“离开”语义完全相反。
【28题详解】
句意:对于李伟和许许多多其他航天工作者来说,月亮不仅仅是遥远冰冷的天体,更是希望与梦想的象征。
hope and dream(希望、梦想)属于抽象精神概念。月亮代表着航天人的理想,故选symbol。sign:多指迹象、征兆、标牌,多用于表象,不能用来代表抽象的希望与梦想;mark:指人为留下的记号、划痕、印记。月亮不是人为刻出来的标记,排除。
【29题详解】
句意:他们的辛勤工作和坚持不懈助力中国在月球探测方面取得巨大进步。
and并列连词,前后感情色彩要保持一致。后面perseverance(毅力、坚持不懈)是褒义词,所以空格也要填写褒义名词。hard work表示“辛勤工作”。laziness“懒惰”、carelessness“粗心”均为贬义词,和全文歌颂奋斗的褒义语境矛盾。
【30题详解】
句意:他们坚信,通过持续的努力与追求,在不久的将来中国将会实现建造永久月球科研站的目标。
固定搭配achieve one’s goal,意为“实现目标”。 根据语境:全文对探月的未来是充满信心,要达成建设月球科研站的目标,故选achieve。miss“错过;想念”:miss the goal“错过目标”,文章对未来是满怀信心,不是错过目标,语义相反;refuse“拒绝”:“拒绝目标” 逻辑完全不通,排除。
