When I was a little boy of about ten years old. I developed an interest in calligraphy. Back then we only had a TV channel with limited programs, One of the programs was about learning calligraphy. I was engaged and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts (笔迹) in the Urdu language. After graduation, I came to Dubai, UAE. Falling in love with the architecture and high-rise buildings, I wanted to shoot the amazing beauty form different angles. So I bought a camera and learned photography, joined photography groups and attended workshops. After few years, I got bored of photographing landscapes and cityscapes. Seven years ago, while going through the photography blogs and looking through others’ works. I read the term called “light painting”. a photography technique that allows you to draw in space. I started experimenting with that and soon it hit me: why not bring back my passion for calligraphy using light painting technique? Since that day. I’ve been drawing light calligraphy. To achieve the best results. I decided to build the lights myself. The best part about my work is that they are not photoshopped. I prefer to get the results straight out of the camera. I don’t even turn over the images. To achieve that, I have to write in reverse (倒置) and that took a lot of practice to get it right. Currently, I’m working on the idea of bringing abandoned places back to life, including buildings which have lost their charm and are hidden in darkness. Through my photography, I try to employ light calligraphy by writing a word that attaches a deep meaning to those places and telling stories behind them. In this way, I hope people will revisit these places and appreciate the real reason for their construction. 4. What can be implied from the author’s experience in Quetta? A. He had access to plenty art resources. B. He was fond of calligraphy channels. C. He grasped scripts of many languages. D. He was willing to dig into calligraphy. 5. What made the author interested in taking pictures in Dubai? A. Visual impacts of structures. B. Remarkable urban planning. C. Mysterious building stories. D. Odd angles of architecture. 6. How did the author enhance the effects of light calligraphy? A. By learning from others. B. By sticking to originality. C. By beautifying his photos. D. By drawing in open space. 7. What is the author’s role in practising his current idea? A. A writer putting down real thoughts. B. An educator spreading sound values. C. An artist regenerating forgotten sites. D. A historian looking for ignored areas. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从对书法感兴趣到在迪拜从事光绘书法摄影的经历和创作理念。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I was engaged and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts (笔迹) in the Urdu language.(我全神贯注，花了好几年时间学习乌尔都语的不同书法笔迹。)”可知，作者愿意深入研究书法。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Falling in love with the architecture and high-rise buildings, I wanted to shoot the amazing beauty form different angles.(我爱上了这里的建筑和高楼大厦，想从不同的角度拍摄这令人惊叹的美。)”可知，建筑物的视觉冲击力让作者对在迪拜拍照产生了兴趣。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The best part about my work is that they are not photoshopped.

A new device called “e-Taste” can help. Developed by scientists at Ohio State University in the US, this device aims to improve digital experiences by adding “flavors” to them, reported Science Daily. Creating digital tastes is challenging. Taste is about “feeling” actual molecules (分子) that come out when teeth and saliva (唾液) break down food or drink, according to the US National Institutes of Health (NIH). The molecules “wake up” certain cells on the tongue and along the roof and back of the mouth. With different sensitivity, these cells respond to at least one of the five basic tastes — sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami (鲜味) by sending signals to the thalamus (丘脑). It then transmits the signals to other brain regions where specific tastes are identified. Since the full flavor is experienced only when these signals are put together, creating taste requires collecting all this information. The “e-Taste” device does this using a special sensor. Like an “electronic tongue”, the sensor measures the levels of five chemicals in food or drink that contribute to the five basic tastes. Once gathered, the data is sent wirelessly to another part of the device. This part pushes up liquids through a gel layer that contains the five chemicals. By drinking the liquids, people can taste the food or drink no matter where they are. Real-world tests of “e-Taste” went well. It worked even when the device’s two parts were placed in different cities thousands of kilometers apart. Volunteers identified foods like fish soup with almost 87 percent success, according to a statement by The Ohio State University. Looking ahead, scientists plan to “conquer” more taste sensations, like spiciness. They also want to study the device’s effect on different people, given that taste is “greatly related to human emotion and memory”, said scientist Li Jinghua in the university’s statement. 8. What is the main purpose of the “e-Taste” device? A. To create new flavors in dishes. B. To identify different tastes of dishes. C. To describe tastes beyond words. D. To realize remote sharing of flavors. 9. What is the main focus of paragraph 2? A. How the human body experiences tastes. B. The challenges of developing digital tastes. C. The role of different parts of the mouth in tasting. D. How the five basic tastes interact with each other. 10. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Gathering necessary data. B. Sending electrical signals. C. Experiencing the full flavor. D. Measuring the levels of tastes. 11. What can be inferred about the future plans of the scientists? A. Lowering its cost is their primary goal. B. Spiciness is their top research priority. C. They aim to stimulate a wider range of tastes. D. They will study the emotional impact of the device. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了一款名为“e-Taste”的新设备，包括其作用、相关味觉原理、工作方式、测试情况以及科学家后续的研究计划等内容。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Have you ever wanted to share the taste of a delicious dish with a friend far away, only to find that words and pictures fall short of delivering the full experience? A new device called “e-Taste” can help. (你是否曾想过和远方的朋友分享一道美味菜肴的味道，却发现言语和图片都无法传递完整的体验？一款名为“e-Taste”的新设备可以提供帮助)”可知，e-Taste设备的主要目的是帮助人们远程分享食物的味道。故选D项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Taste is about “feeling” actual molecules (分子) that come out when teeth and saliva (唾液) break down food or drink, according to the US National Institutes of Health (NIH). (根据美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）的说法，味觉是指牙齿和唾液分解食物或饮品时，人体对释放出的实际分子产生的 “感知”。)”以及“It then transmits the signals to other brain regions where specific tastes are identified (然后它将信号传递到大脑的其他区域，在那里特定的味道被识别出来)”可知，第二段主要解释了人体是如何体验到味道的。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Since the full flavor is experienced only when these signals are put together, creating taste requires collecting all this information. The “e-Taste” device does this using a special sensor. (由于只有当这些信号组合在一起时才能体验到完整的味道，所以创造味道需要收集所有这些信息。e-Taste设备使用一种特殊的传感器来做这件事)”可知，句中this指的是收集创造味道所需的必要数据。故选A项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Looking ahead, scientists plan to “conquer” more taste sensations, like spiciness. (展望未来，科学家们计划“攻克”更多的味觉感受，比如辣味)”可知，科学家们未来的计划是让e-Taste设备能刺激更广泛的味觉。故选C项。 D Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the University of Cologne (UC) in Germany have developed an AI-based learning system. The idea is simple yet effective: a webcam (网络摄像头) tracks students’ eye movements. Maike Schindler, a math professor from the UC, and her team have designed hundreds of math tasks involving basic math skills. Depending on the task, specific patterns appear, which are shown digitally on a heat map, with red indicating areas where the children look frequently and green showing the areas where they look only briefly. Confident students quickly get to key problem areas, while struggling ones often look aimlessly. “Tracking eye movements helps recognize different learning strategies through patterns and finally create detailed support reports for teachers,” says Maike Schindler. “The AI system sorts the patterns. On the basis, the software selects tailored learning videos and exercises for the pupil,” says robotics professor Achim Lilienthal from the TUM. To develop the new eye-tracking technology, Professor Lilienthal has drawn on his robotics research experience. In that work, he used eye trackers with a small human-like robot named Nao. It enables better communication with humans. However, these advanced systems with high accuracy cost many thousands of euros. To find a better solution for schools, the researchers cleverly mix technical experience with math knowledge. Instead of using high-end eye-trackers, their AI-driven approach uses regular webcams and makes up for low accuracy through AI improvements. “By focusing on problem areas, the AI adapts the eye-tracking with the webcam, achieving accuracy comparable to high-end tools,” professor Lilienthal says. Germany’s Wulfen Comprehensive School is the first to introduce the system. A math test there showed that about one-third of the new students struggled with basic math. With the AI system, one teacher can now support five students at once — a significant improvement over traditional one-on-one teaching. “As education faces teacher shortages and increasing pressure to deal with individual learning styles, our system for promoting basic math skills is simply excellent support for schools,” says Schindler. 12. What is the function of the heat map? A. Testing students’ math skills. B. Presenting students’ focus areas. C. Measuring the difficulty of math tasks. D. Tracking the eye movements of students. 13. Which best describes the AI-driven eye-tracking technology? A. Helpful but slow. B. Simple and relaxing. C. Creative but costly. D. Affordable and effective. 14. What does Wulfen Comprehensive School get from the system? A. Reduction in teacher training. B. Adaptation to learning needs. C. Inspiration for advanced math. D. Improvement in school management. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Heat Maps: A New Tool for Classroom Management B. Robot Nao: A Breakthrough in Educational Robotics C. Webcam Eye Tracker: An AI Tool for Personalized Learning D. Basic Math Skills: A Growing Challenge for German Schools 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了德国科研团队开发的一种基于AI的学习系统，有助于学校提高学生基础数学技能的学习效果，实现个性化学习。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Depending on the task, specific patterns appear, which are shown digitally on a heat map, with red indicating areas where the children look frequently and green showing the areas where they look only briefly.(根据任务的不同，会出现特定的模式，这些模式以数字形式呈现在一个热力图上，红色区域表示孩子们经常注视的区域，而绿色区域则表示他们只是短暂注视的区域。)”可知，这种热力图显示了学生关注的区域和时长。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“However, these advanced systems with high accuracy cost many thousands of euros.(然而，这些精度极高的先进系统价格却高达数千欧元。)”和第五段“Instead of using high-end eye-trackers, their AI-driven approach uses regular webcams and makes up for low accuracy through AI improvements. “By focusing on problem areas, the AI adapts the eye-tracking with the webcam, achieving accuracy comparable to high-end tools,” professor Lilienthal says.(他们采用的并非高端的眼动追踪设备，而是基于人工智能的解决方案，该方案使用的是普通的网络摄像头，并通过人工智能技术的改进来弥补精度方面的不足。利利恩塔尔教授表示：“通过聚焦于问题区域，人工智能能够利用网络摄像头实现眼动追踪，从而达到与高端设备相当的精度。”)”可知，AI驱动的追踪技术未采用昂贵的先进系统，而是使用普通网络摄像头配合AI，仍能达到高精准度，说明这种技术既经济又有效。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“With the AI system, one teacher can now support five students at once — a significant improvement over traditional one-on-one teaching. “As education faces teacher shortages and increasing pressure to deal with individual learning styles, our system for promoting basic math skills is simply excellent support for schools,” says Schindler.(借助这套人工智能系统，如今一名教师能够同时辅导五名学生——这相较于传统的一对一教学方式有了显著的提升。“鉴于教育领域面临教师短缺的问题，并且需要应对因学生个体差异而产生的教学压力，我们这套提升基础数学技能的系统对于学校而言无疑是极好的辅助手段。”辛德勒说道。)”可知，该系统让教师能更高效地应对不同学生的辅导需求，并能应对不同学习风格学生的需求，即能适应多样化学习需求。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the University of Cologne (UC) in Germany have developed an AI-based learning system.(来自德国慕尼黑工业大学（TUM）和科隆大学（UC）的研究人员共同开发了一套基于人工智能的学习系统。)”、第二段“The idea is simple yet effective: a webcam (网络摄像头) tracks students’ eye movements.(这个想法很简单却很有效：一台网络摄像头会监测学生的目光移动情况。)”和最后一段“As education faces teacher shortages and increasing pressure to deal with individual learning styles, our system for promoting basic math skills is simply excellent support for schools,(鉴于教育领域面临教师短缺的问题，并且需要应对因学生个体差异而产生的教学压力，我们这套提升基础数学技能的系统对于学校而言无疑是极好的辅助手段。)”及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了一种网络摄像头眼动追踪技术，这是一种基于AI的学习系统，有助于提升学生基础数学技能，帮助学生实现个性化学习。C选项“Webcam Eye Tracker: An AI Tool for Personalized Learning(网络摄像头眼动追踪系统：一款用于个性化学习的人工智能工具)”能够概括文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。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。 Live a Stress-free Lifestyle Stress can help in a way.

While the basic____40____ (interpret) of an expression may hold true across cultures, learned behavior ____41____ (pattern) do affect the way people interpret facial expressions differently. For example, a smile is ____42____ (universal) interpreted as an indicator of happiness, and friendliness. But the way it is used among cultures can carry different meanings. Some cultures perceive that Americans use their smiles too much, raising questions of insincerity. And in some Asian cultures, a smile can be used to overcome an uncomfortable or anxiety-causing situation, ___43___, to other cultures, may seem inappropriate. Communicating across a language barrier can be difficult, but remembering that our drawing conclusions according ___44___facial expressions can help. So next time you are tired in a foreign hotel lobby, think about your facial expression: a relaxed face and gentle smile may get you ___45___ good night’s sleep. 【答案】 36. booked 37. assessing 38. to be perceived 39. is 40. interpretation 41. patterns 42. universally 43. which 44. to 45. a 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以酒店场景引入指出表情解读是跨语言交流方式，也提及文化差异影响解读，建议关注表情助交流。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：你经过长途旅行后很累，但你还没有预订房间。此处a room（房间）与 book（预订）之间是被动关系，即房间被预订，所以应用过去分词作宾语补足语。故填booked。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在走向前台工作人员之前，你停下来观察她的脸，评估她的友好程度。句子的谓语动词是 stop，assess（评估）与逻辑主语you之间是主动关系，应用现在分词形式作伴随状语。故填assessing。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：她看起来很和蔼，所以你决定走过去，但首先你特意露出微笑，希望被认为是友好的。hope to do sth “希望做某事”；此处you与perceive之间是被动关系，所以应用不定式的被动式to be perceived。故填to be perceived。 【39题详解】 考查主谓一致。句意：阅读面部表情是解读人们想法或感受的一种常用手段，尤其是在跨越语言障碍的情况下。句子的主语是Reading facial expressions（解读面部表情），动名词短语作主语时，谓语动词应用单数形式；文章整体时态为一般现在时，所以此处be动词用is。故填is。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：虽然对表情的基本解释可能在不同文化中都适用，但习得的行为模式确实会影响人们对面部表情的不同理解。空处作主语，basic（基本的）是形容词，形容词后应接名词，interpret（解读，理解）的名词形式是interpretation。故填interpretation。 【41题详解】 考查名词的复数形式。句意：虽然对表情的基本解释可能在不同文化中都适用，但习得的行为模式确实会影响人们对面部表情的不同理解。pattern（模式，方式）是可数名词，根据谓语动词do可知，主语应为复数形式，所以pattern应用复数patterns。故填patterns。 【42题详解】 考查副词。句意：例如，微笑被普遍认为是幸福和友好的象征。此处需要一个副词来修饰动词interpreted，universal（普遍的）的副词形式是universally“普遍地”。故填universally。 【43题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：在一些亚洲文化中，微笑可以用来克服不舒服或引起焦虑的情况，而在其他文化中，这可能是不合适的。此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整个句子a smile can be used to overcome an uncomfortable or anxiety-causing situation，且关系词在从句中作主语，所以应用关系代词which。故填which。 【44题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：跨越语言障碍的交流可能很困难，但记住我们根据面部表情得出结论是有帮助的。according to是固定短语，意为“根据，按照”，符合此处“根据面部表情得出结论”的语境。故填to。 【45题详解】 考查不定冠词。句意：所以，下次当你在一家外国酒店的大堂感到疲倦时，想想你的面部表情：一个放松的脸和温柔的微笑可能会让你睡个好觉。a good night’s sleep是固定表达，意为“一夜好眠”，此处表示泛指“一个”，且good是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以应用不定冠词a。故填a。 第四部分 书面表达（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 应用文（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，为推进科普教育，你校英语社团正在开展“学科学，用科学”的演讲活动，请你以“Intelligent Technology Enters Our Life”为主题，写一篇演讲稿参加比赛，内容包括： 1. 智能科技在生活中的应用； 2. 学习智能科技的意义。 注意：1. 写作词数应为80左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 【答案】 Dear teachers and students, It’s my honor to be here and deliver a speech about intelligent technology in our life.

She had a quarrel (争吵) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping （哭泣) sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding (责备) from her mother. Having wandered (闲逛） aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand (摊位) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes… but I don’t have money on me” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,”said the man, “come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother, drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless (无情的) compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb (呆滞的）with shock; she remembered mother’s familiar face and weathered (饱经风霜的) hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted (感激的；蒙恩的), but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意：1.写作词数应为100左右；2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. _______________________________________________________________________________________ A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. She could hear her own heart beating loudly in her ears. Her hand trembled slightly as she reached for the doorknob. As she entered, she saw her mother sitting in the dimly lit living room. Jenny walked slowly towards her, her steps heavy with guilt. “Mom,” she said softly, “I’m back. I’m so sorry for what I did. I was so blind and ungrateful. You’ve given me so much love and care all these years, and I repaid you with rudeness.” A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. Jenny looked into her mother’s eyes, which were filled with a mixture of relief and love. Her mother cupped her face in her hands and said, “My dear, I was so worried about you. I’m just glad you’re safe.” They hugged each other tightly. Jenny realized that this was the place where she truly belonged, and that her mother’s love was an unbreakable bond. From then on, she made it a point to be more patient and understanding with her mother, knowing that every moment spent with her was a precious gift. Because in the end, it was the love of family that could heal all wounds and make one whole again. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jenny和母亲争吵后，离家出走，她有点饿，想吃东西，但是她什么都没带，一个陌生人请她吃了一碗面，陌生人告诉Jenny妈妈其实为她付出了很多，Jenny下定决心一到家就为她的粗鲁向母亲道歉。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“走近门口，珍妮深吸了一口气。”可知，第一段可描写Jenny在到家门口时的紧张、愧疚心情以及她鼓起勇气向母亲道歉的场景。 ②由第二段首句内容“她的头发被轻轻地碰了一下，她的思绪又回来了。”可知，第二段可描写Jenny与母亲深情对视、拥抱，并意识到母爱的伟大，以及她决定以后更加珍惜与母亲相处的时光。 2.续写线索：Jenny到家门口——紧张、愧疚地准备道歉——鼓起勇气向母亲表达歉意——母亲温柔回应——母女深情拥抱——决定珍惜与母亲的时光 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①颤抖：tremble/shiver/shake ②意识到：realize/recognize ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①不感激的：ungrateful/unthankful ②担心的：worried/concerned 【点睛】【高分句型1】Her hand trembled slightly as she reached for the doorknob. (运用as引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】Jenny walked slowly towards her, her steps heavy with guilt.

B I was born in a small town in Pakistan called Quetta in 1980.When I was a little boy of about ten years old.I developed an interest in calligraphy.Back then we only had a TV channel with limited programs,and one of the programs was about learning calligraphy.I was engaged and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts(笔迹)in the Urdu language. After graduation,I came to Dubai,UAE.Falling in love with the architecture and high-rise buildings,I wanted to shoot the amazing beauty form different angles.So I bought a camera and learned photography, joined photography groups and attended workshops.After few years,I got bored of photographing landscapes and cityscapes. Seven years ago,while going through the photography blogs and looking through others'works.I read the term called "light painting".a photography technique that allows you to draw in space.I started experimenting with that and soon it hit me:why not bring back my passion for calligraphy using light painting technique?Since that day.I've been drawing light calligraphy.To achieve the best results.I decided to build the lights myself.The best part about my work is that they are not photoshopped.I prefer to get the results straight out of the camera.I don't even turn over the images.To achieve that,I have to write in reverse ( and that took a lot of practice to get it right. Currently,I'm working on the idea of bringing abandoned places back to life,including buildings which have lost their charm and are hidden in darkness.Through my photography,I try to employ light calligraphy by writing a word that attaches a deep meaning to those places and telling stories behind them.In this way,I hope people will revisit these places and appreciate the real reason for their construction. 4.What can be implied from the author's experience in Quetta? A.He had access to plenty art resources. B.He was fond of calligraphy channels. C.He grasped scripts of many languages. D.He was willing to dig into calligraphy. 5.What made the author interested in taking pictures in Dubai? A.Visual impacts of structures. B.Remarkable urban planning. 2 C.Mysterious building stories. D.Odd angles of architecture. 6.How did the author enhance the effects of light calligraphy? A.By learning from others. B.By sticking to originality. C.By beautifying his photos. D.By drawing in open space. 7.What is the author's role in practising his current idea? A.A writer putting down real thoughts. B.An educator spreading sound values. C.An artist regenerating forgotten sites.D.A historian looking for ignored areas. C Have you ever wanted to share the taste of a delicious dish with a friend far away,only to find that words and pictures fall short of delivering the full experience?A new device called"e-Taste"can help.Developed by scientists at Ohio State University in the US,this device aims to improve digital experiences by adding "flavors"to them,reported Science Daily. Creating digital tastes is challenging.Taste is about"feeling"actual molecules()that come out when teeth and saliva (break down food or drink,according to the US National Institutes of Health (NIH). The molecules'wake up"certain cells on the tongue and along the roof and back of the mouth.With different sensitivity,these cells respond to at least one of the five basic tastes-sweet,sour,salty,bitter and umami ()by sending signals to the thalamus ()It then transmits the signals to other brain regions where specific tastes are identified. Since the full flavor is experienced only when these signals are put together,creating taste requires collecting all this information.The "e-Taste"device does this using a special sensor.Like an "electronic tongue",the sensor measures the levels of five chemicals in food or drink that contribute to the five basic tastes.Once gathered,the data is sent wirelessly to another part of the device.This part pushes up liquids through a gel layer that contains the five chemicals.By drinking the liquids,people can taste the food or drink no matter where they are. Real-world tests of"e-Taste"went well.It worked even when the device's two parts were placed in different cities thousands ofkilometers apart.Volunteers identified foods like fish soup with almost 87 percent success,according to a statement by The Ohio State University. Looking ahead,scientists plan to"conquer"more taste sensations,like spiciness.They also want to study the device's effect on different people,given that taste is"greatly related to human emotion and memory", said scientist Li Jinghua in the university's statement. 8.What is the main purpose of the "e-Taste"device? A.To create new flavors in dishes. B.To identify different tastes of dishes. C.To describe tastes beyond words. D.To realize remote sharing of flavors. 3 9.What is the main focus of paragraph 2? A.How the human body experiences tastes B.The challenges of developing digital tastes C.The role of different parts of the mouth in tasting. D.How the five basic tastes interact with each other. 10.What does the underlined word"this"in paragraph 3 refer to? A.Gathering necessary data. B.Sending electrical signals. C.Experiencing the full flavor. D.Measuring the levels of tastes. 11.What can be inferred about the future plans of the scientists? A.Lowering its cost is their primary goal. B.Spiciness is their top research priority. C.They aim to stimulate a wider range of tastes. D.They will study the emotional impact of the device. D Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM)and the University of Cologne (UC)in Germany have developed an AI-based learning system The idea is simple yet effective:a webcam(网络摄像头)tracks students'eye movements..Maike Schindler,a math professor from the UC,and her team have designed hundreds of math tasks involving basic math skills.Depending on the task,specific patterns appear,which are shown digitally on a heat map,with red indicating areas where the children look frequently and green showing the areas where they look only briefly.Confident students quickly get to key problem areas,while struggling ones often look aimlessly. "Tracking eye movements helps recognize different learning strategies through patterns and finally create detailed support reports for teachers,"says Maike Schindler."The AI system sorts the patterns.On the basis, the software selects tailored learning videos and exercises for the pupil,"says robotics professor Achim Lilienthal from the TUM. To develop the new eye-tracking technology,Professor Lilienthal has drawn on his robotics research experience.In that work,he used eye trackers with a small human-like robot named Nao.It enables better communication with humans.However,these advanced systems with high accuracy cost many thousands of euros. To find a better solution for schools,the researchers cleverly mix technical experience with math knowledge.Instead ofusing high-end eye-trackers,their AI-driven approach uses regular webcams and makes up for low accuracy through AI improvements."By focusing on problem areas,the AI adapts the eye-tracking with the webcam,achieving accuracy comparable to high-end tools,"professor Lilienthal says. Germany's Wulfen Comprehensive School is the first to introduce the system.A math test there showed 4 that about one-third of the new students struggled with basic math.With the AI system,one teacher can now support five students at once-a significant improvement over traditional one-on-one teaching."As education faces teacher shortages and increasing pressure to deal with individual learning styles,our system for promoting basic math skills is simply excellent support for schools,"says Schindler. 12.What is the function of the heat map? A.Testing students'math skills B.Presenting students'focus areas. C.Measuring the difficulty of math tasks. D.Tracking the eye movements of students. 13.Which best describes the AI-driven eye-tracking technology? A.Helpful but slow. B.Simple and relaxing. C.Creative but costly. D.Affordable and effective. 14.What does Wulfen Comprehensive School get from the system? A.Reduction in teacher training. B.Adaptation to learning needs. C.Inspiration for advanced math. D.Improvement in school management 15.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Heat Maps:A New Tool for Classroom Management B.Robot Nao:A Breakthrough in Educational Robotics C.Webcam Eye Tracker:An AI Tool for Personalized Learning D.Basic Math Skills:A Growing Challenge for German Schools 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。 Live a Stress-free Lifestyle Stress can help in a way.But too much stress can lead to health problems and negatively impact other areas of our life.16 Enjoy regular exercise.Physical activity helps people handle stress.After a long day's work,just a short walk can help you feel better and put the stress of the day behind you.17 Often getting involved in team sports can also be a more fun way to exercise. 18 Doing fun activities will take you away from stressful environments and let you relax for a while.Give yourself the chance to do some things you enjoy,like going to the movies or playing with your dog.If you can achieve a good balance in your lifestyle,you can find your stress levels dropping.
