It divides a standard page into three distinct sections, each with a specific purpose, as shown in the diagram below. The method is best carried out through the 5R strategy — a strategy that improves notes and enhances memory. 1. Record: Write down relevant information in the main note-taking area. Focus on the main ideas with clear explanations and examples that strengthen your understanding of the topic. 2. Reduce: Shorten the information into key topics, phrases, or questions in the cue column, and briefly summarize your notes at the bottom to provide a brief overview of the material. 3. Recite: Cover the note-taking area and attempt to recite the information aloud. Check your answers and make revisions to both sections as necessary. 4. Reflect: Think about the significance of what you’ve learned and how it connects to your existing knowledge. You may consider the practical applications of the new material, further questions to explore, or how everything fits into the bigger picture. 5. Review: Regularly revisit your notes, using the cues to activate your active recall, which strengthens your understanding and improves long-term memory. Ready to reshape the way you take notes and maintain information? The Cornell note-taking form is waiting for you. Whether you’ re a student striving for academic excellence, a professional keen on making meetings more productive, or someone simply looking to organize thoughts more effectively, this form is your go-to solution. Start your journey towards clearer, more effective note-taking today! Cornell Notetaking Method 26. What do Cue Column and Summary Column have in common? A. Focus on main ideas. B Be filled in during class. C. Record detailed lecture content. D. Serve as decorative areas. 27. What should you do right after taking down lecture notes? A. Go over notes regularly to strengthen memory. B. Cover your notes and start reciting immediately. C. Write key points to the cue column and summarize. D. Think about how the new knowledge applies to your life. 28. Who is the Cornell note-taking template intended for? A. Cornell University Students only. B. Academics working on research papers. C. Researchers exploring learning methods. D. Individuals seeking to structure their ideas. B Grandparenting these days is all about technology. I’m not talking about smart devices. We’re pretty good at that. It’s those strollers (婴儿车) and car seats. When our kids were little, life was simple. We had carriages that got pushed around the block. And we used lightweight strollers when we travelled. Now the new strollers come with airline pilot-type instructions, and we need the help of an astronaut to open them. When I told a friend that I was babysitting my grandchildren for a week, she admitted that she had been afraid she’d never get her grandchild out of his car seat. I’ve felt the same. The grandchild even had to show me how to release the seatbelt. This newest generation will never do anything without a seatbelt. My two-year-old granddaughter is able to climb in her stroller and immediately secure the safety belt herself. When my daughter gave me instructions, she told me the four-month-old drinks when he’s thirsty and sleeps when he’s tired. The challenge was the stroller in which I had to place his car seat with him buckled (扣紧) in, while remembering the diaper (尿片) bag, rain cover and sun cover. And that was only when I was taking him on an outing, packing the groceries into the bottom of the stroller. Early morning and late afternoon, the transportation of the day was the double stroller. Each child had to be buckled in and adjusted so that kicking each other was not an option. It wasn’t easy to push the stroller on city streets and get through traffic lights. I felt like a long-distance truck driver, with the arm muscles to match. After a week of it, I was getting pretty good, and had a new appreciation of those mothers who pack the coffee shops. I smiled outside the cafe, but the thought of negotiating the stairs and the lineup with my two-person spaceship had me drinking from a sippy cup outside. 29. What headache in grandparenting does the author face? A. Getting help from an astronaut. B. Operating complicated baby strollers. C. Finding lightweight strollers for long travels. D. Teaching grandchildren to follow instructions. 30. What made the author’s outing challenging according to paragraph 3? A. Managing multiple items all at once. B. Carrying too many groceries back home. C. Feeding the four-month-old baby on time. D. Matching different covers with the stroller. 31. Why does the author mention a long-distance truck driver? A. To describe her daily routine. B. To highlight the extreme physical effort. C. To suggest the heavy traffic on the street. D. To emphasize the difficulty of a driver’s job. 32. What does the last paragraph imply about the author? A. She gained physical strength from the work. B. She regretted taking on the babysitting task. C. She realized the struggles of daily caregivers. D. She felt confident in handling tough situations. C Self-confidence is trusting in our abilities or qualities. It’s usually seen as a good thing. But is it possible that we might benefit from a little less confidence in our beliefs? For many years, Dr. Mark Leary, a neuroscientist at Duke University in Durham, N.C., has studied the role of people’s beliefs in their behavior. He found overconfidence is very common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly 1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger. The good news is that there’s a “vaccine (疫苗)” for overconfidence, and that’s what scientists call “intellectual humility” — recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong. A survey of 144 college students to measure their intellectual humility found that students who saw their thinking could be wrong tended to be more curious and more likely to seek out new knowledge. They ended up knowing more at the end of the day. But does it actually help you beyond that? To find out more, Dr. Tenelle Porter at Ball State University conducted a series of studies with high school students. She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they’d change their study strategies to improve their performance and master the material for the next test. Students who didn’t see their knowledge could be wrong might instead just sail through their studying and wouldn’t stop to ask themselves if they truly understood what they read, heard, or did. Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they had thought. Although it might be good for you, researchers recognize that questioning your beliefs can be truly hard. Still, it’s important to remember that questioning beliefs isn’t always about replacing old ones with new ones. If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps”. 33. Why does the author mention the explosion of the Challenger? A. To express his sorrow for the loss. B. To stress the high risk of space flights. C. To show the result of wrong operation. D. To give an example of overconfidence. 34. What do we know about intellectual humility according to Porter’s research? A. It urged students to gain recognition. B. It encouraged students to take exams. C. It helped students to adjust learning methods. D. It motivated students to memorize knowledge. 35. What do the underlined words “got a subject down pat” mean in paragraph 5? A. Fully mastered a subject. B. Put great effort into a subject. C. Really enjoyed a subject. D. Benefited a lot from a subject. 36. What will probably be discussed in the following paragraphs? A. Why questioning our belief is hard. B. What intellectual humility is helpful. C. How to become a confident person. D. How to practice intellectual humility. D The ability to detect a nearby presence without seeing or touching it may sound fantastical — but it’s a real ability that some creatures have. A family of African fish known as Mormyrids are weakly electric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby target, even when it’s hiding in the mud. Scientists have now developed an artificial sensor system modelled on the ability of these fish. “We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin, bio-inspired by ‘electric fish,’” says Dr. Xinge Yu, an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong. The team described their e-skin sensor in a paper published on November 14 in Nature. The artificial sensor is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter (发射器), which will generate an electric field once activated, and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object. A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter. When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted (扰乱), which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a microcontroller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices. A special biogel (生物凝胶) is used in the sensor, which has the ability to transmit and receive electric signals from a pattern of microchannels on the surface. The end result is a sensor that is thin, soft and flexible, making it easy to adapt to irregular surfaces, such as the human body. In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors. This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection, transmission, and processing. The researchers hope that this sensor could one day open up a new range of wearable technologies, including sensors for human-machine interaction and thin, flexible e-skin. 37. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To tell the reason for developing a sensor. B. To show the inspiration for a new invention. C. To display the big challenge of locating objects. D. To demonstrate the special ability of African fish. 38. What is the correct order of the system’s working procedures? a. The transmitter creates an electric field. b. A unit computes the position of the target. c. The controller sends the activating signal. d. The receiver detects the change of electric signals. e. The electric field is disrupted by an approaching object. A. c-a-e-d-b. B. c-a-d-e-b. C. a-c-e-d-b. D a-e-c-d-b. 39. What is an advantage of the new sensor system? A. Its sensitivity to different stimulations. B. Its adaptation to environmental changes. C. Its speed in data collection and processing. D. Its efficiency in achieving 3D positioning. 40. What is the best title for the text? A. Machine Detective “Wears” Flexible E-skin B. Bio-inspired Sensor “Feels” Without Touching C. E-Skin Sensor: The Future of Machine Learning D. Electric Fields: The Frontier of Object Detection IV．阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） As humanoid robots begin to enter warehouses and factories, a critical question arises: do we need special safety rules for them? The answer is yes, and for several important reasons. 41 Unlike traditional industrial robots that can be stopped instantly by hitting an emergency button, humanoids are “dynamically stable”. This means they need power to stay upright. If you cut the power, they will likely fall over, potentially causing serious injury to nearby workers. There is the challenge of defining what exactly needs to be regulated. How should we classify a humanoid robot? Does it need legs? Arms? A head? 42 This approach would allow safety standards to keep pace with technological innovation without being limited by appearance. Communication between robots and humans presents another concern. If robots are to share space with people, they must be able to signal their intentions clearly. For instance, a robot walking around a corner needs to indicate its direction so that people are not surprised. 43 There is a psychological factor to consider. People naturally expect more from robots that look like human. 44 Experts recommend that safety standards include emotional safety assessments to prevent confusion or stress. These standards help companies build trust in their products and sell them more easily in different countries, while also giving regulators a clear guide for creating their own rules. 45 As Vicentini notes, a practical standard must find a balance between competing interests, and “everybody equally unhappy is good enough”, since aiming for perfect agreement is simply not realistic. A. Humanoid robots pose unique physical risks. B. Without clear dialogues, accidents will happen. C. Interactions between humanoid robots can prevent accidents. D. Many believe that physical features are essential for safety standards. E. People may let their guard down, thinking the robots understand more than they do. F. However, agreeing on global regulations is hard due to different concerns in the field. G. Experts suggest dropping the term “humanoid” and focusing on a robot’s abilities instead.

The 10-day workshop opened 62 a tea-offering ceremony to show respect for local master craftsmen. Most volunteers 63 (hold) university degrees, and the workshop offered them 64 (practice) skills they could never learn in classrooms. Guided by local craftsmen, volunteers fell into groups. They cleared weeds around old courtyard walls, repaired broken gate frames with traditional patterns, 65 smoothed worn wood carvings. Language barriers never stopped their cooperation. They relied on simple Chinese and English, hand signals and rough drawings 66 (communicate), exchanging ideas to balance historical preservation and modern comfort. When the workshop ended, the ancient gate stood 67 (shine) brightly again. The workshop built a gentle cultural bridge, enabling young 68 (mind) from diverse cultures to understand each other. Lucas, a 21-year-old student from Paris, hoped more such international youth workshops would be launched, so more global youngsters could join in the protection of heritage. 69 ancient villages stand for is Chinese people’s long-lasting attachment to hometowns. Now, with joint efforts of Chinese and foreign young volunteers, these rural landscapes regain vitality, proving cultural heritage protection is 70 shared mission for all mankind.
