Written in first person, this book tracks his 25-year journey as a cartoonist, writer and showrunner, from an Ontario farm kid to a household name. In 19 chapters, Lemire focuses mainly on the project processes, framing early failures as key to his success. Lemire started out as a lonely kid, reading all the comics coming back to his hometown. He describes how, if he stuck around his hometown, there were essentially two employment choices: farming or working at a nearby automobile factory. Not being into either, he chose to study film in Toronto instead. Soon he found himself working in restaurants and spending the remainder of his time on his first love: drawing and writing comics. The chapters are full of often-fascinating images set alongside Lemire’s narrative (复述), ranging from early pencil rough drafts and character designs to polished cover art and final comic pages. Readers can see Lemire’s style develop and mature over time. The images also evidence an artist continually willing to take chances and play with new approaches and forms. Lost Dogs, Lemire’s first graphic novel drawn in a loose, moody style, won a Xeric Grant after five years’ efforts, an extraordinary comics award that lifted his confidence to make a living as a cartoonist. Though it took determination to keep going, he ultimately broke through with Tales from the Farm, which aired on Canada’s CBC Television as a miniseries largely shaped by the original cartoonist himself. He also produced The Nobody and became a writer, cooperating with different artists on various storylines. What’s appealing about seeing the story of Lemire’s work life unfold is the massive creativity he has sustained over time. He recounts a creative practice of handling multiple projects at once, an approach that offsets the trap that many artists fall into when they hit a wall on a major project. More than a memoir, 10,000 Ink Stains is a love letter to comics and creativity. Lemire invites readers to see the passion and pain behind every ink stain, uncovering the messy, winding truth of a dream career. 4. Why did Lemire study film in Toronto? A. To enhance his comic skills. B. He disliked the countryside. C. He longed to be a film producer. D. To seek a decent career option. 5. What is the value of the images in Lemire’s10,000 Ink Stains? A. They display his stylistic evolution. B. They replace his written narrative. C. They are all his polished final works. D. They reflect his childhood hobbies. 6. What do we know about Lemire’sLost Dogs? A. It took him a decade to complete. B. It’s a joint creation with other artists. C. Its success fueled his resolve to carry on. D. It was a follow-up to his television series. 7. What does the underlined phrase “hit a wall” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Lose their appeal. B. Run out of ideas. C. Cool down. D. Give up. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。《10,000 Ink Stains》以第一人称讲述漫画家Jeff Lemire 25年职业历程，含创作细节、作品图像与风格演变，展现追梦背后的热爱与艰辛，既是回忆录也是对漫画和创造力的致敬。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“He describes how, if he stuck around his hometown, there were essentially two employment choices: farming or working at a nearby automobile factory. Not being into either, he chose to study film in Toronto instead.(他描述道，如果他留在家乡，那么他基本上只有两种职业选择：从事农业工作或者在附近的一家汽车厂工作。由于他对这两项工作都不感兴趣，所以他选择去多伦多学习电影相关专业)”可知，勒米尔在多伦多学习电影是为了寻找一份体面的工作机会。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The chapters are full of often-fascinating images set alongside Lemire’s narrative (复述), ranging from early pencil rough drafts and character designs to polished cover art and final comic pages. Readers can see Lemire’s style develop and mature over time.(这些章节中充满了各种引人入胜的图像，与勒米尔的叙述相互映衬，内容涵盖从早期的铅笔草图和角色设计到精美的封面设计以及最终的漫画页面等各个方面。读者可以看到勒米尔的风格随着时间的推移而不断发展和完善)”可知，莱米尔的《10,000 水印》系列作品中的图像展现了他的风格演变过程。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Lost Dogs, Lemire’s first graphic novel drawn in a loose, moody style, won a Xeric Grant after five years’ efforts, an extraordinary comics award that lifted his confidence to make a living as a cartoonist.(《失踪的狗》是莱米耶创作的第一部漫画小说，其风格自由奔放、情绪浓郁。经过五年的努力，这部作品最终获得了西里克奖，这一非凡的漫画奖项极大地增强了他的信心，使他能够以此为生，成为一名漫画家)”可知，勒米尔的《失踪的狗》的成功增强了他继续创作的决心。故选C。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“He recounts a creative practice of handling multiple projects at once,an approach that offsets the trap that many artists fall into(他讲述了自己同时处理多个项目的一种创新做法，这种方法有效地避免了许多艺术家常陷入的困境。)”可知，前文提到他同时处理多个项目的创作方式可避免艺术家在重大项目上陷入困境。结合创作场景，“hit a wall”指遇到创作瓶颈、没了想法，故划线词意思是“没有思路了”。故选B。 C While it moves awkwardly and rigidly, Northwestern University’s robot represents a remarkable breakthrough in robotics. The AI-assisted robot, composed of independent modular units like Lego blocks, can handle unexpected damage and adjust its structure and movement strategies according to external changes, demonstrating a form of “motor intelligence” rarely seen in existing robots. Most contemporary robots are equipped with two or four legs, or rely on wheels for movement. Though expert in walking and jumping, they will break down instantly once a leg is lost. In contrast, the novel robot consists of basic modules, each integrating a circuit board, a battery and a motor, which function as the robot’s “nervous system”, “metabolism” and “muscles” respectively. Each module features only one moving joint, yet its simple mechanical design does not restrict its mobility. When connected together, these modules can form robots with three, four or five legs, enabling free shape transformation. The core power driving the robot originates from AI algorithms (算法) that simulate natural evolution. In a virtual environment, the AI rapidly tests billions of structural combinations, discarding unworkable designs and keeping excellent ones. Within seconds, it completes the evolutionary process that would take nature billions of years, generating highly efficient robot structures beyond human imagination. These modular robots achieved fantastic performance. They can move steadily across uneven and varied landscapes autonomously. Even when overturned or losing legs, they quickly adjust their strategies and continue moving. In tests, these robots have already exhibited movement patterns similar to leaping kangaroos and rolling seals. “This robot excels in complex environments and more notably, its ability to self-adjust to unexpected conditions can deepen human understanding of the laws of biological evolution, teaching us about why spiders have 8 legs, centipedes a hundred and snakes no legs at all, as well as how each has adapted to navigate their environments,” noted Sam Kriegman, lead author of the study. This novel technology advances the development of robotics. In the future, such modular parts can be mass-produced, allowing people to put together custom robots easily. 8. What is the most remarkable advantage of the novel robot? A. AI-generated system. B. Odd appearance. C. Rhythmic movement. D. Unique adaptability. 9. What is the AI’s key role in the robot design? A. Evaluating sample data. B. Creating virtual environments. C. Evolving ideal structures. D. Simplifying robot components. 10. Why are kangaroos and seals mentioned? A. To show motion likeness. B. To praise their skills. C. To prove evolutionary laws. D. To compare flexibility. 11. What does Sam mainly say concerning the robot? A. Its affordability. B. Its cross-field implications. C. Its test performance. D. Its large-scale market demand. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】主要说明了美国西北大学研发模块化智能机器人，可自由变形、受损自愈，依托 AI 算法模拟进化生成高效结构，运动模式仿生物，还助力人类理解生物进化、推动机器人技术发展。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The AI-assisted robot, composed of independent modular units like Lego blocks, can handle unexpected damage and adjust its structure and movement strategies according to external changes, demonstrating a form of “motor intelligence” rarely seen in existing robots.(这款由独立模块单元（如同乐高积木）组成的智能机器人能够应对意外损坏，并根据外部环境的变化调整其结构和行动策略，展现出一种在现有机器人中罕见的“运动智能”。)”可知，这款新型机器人的最显著优点是独特的适应性。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The core power driving the robot originates from AI algorithms (算法) that simulate natural evolution. In a virtual environment, the AI rapidly tests billions of structural combinations, discarding unworkable designs and keeping excellent ones. Within seconds, it completes the evolutionary process that would take nature billions of years, generating highly efficient robot structures beyond human imagination.(驱动机器人的核心动力源自于模拟自然进化的人工智能算法。在虚拟环境中，该算法会迅速测试数十亿种结构组合，淘汰不可行的设计，保留优秀的方案。短短几秒钟内，它就能完成自然界需要数十亿年才能完成的进化过程，生成超出人类想象的高效机器人结构)”可知，人工智能可以优化机器人的理想结构。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In tests, these robots have already exhibited movement patterns similar to leaping kangaroos and rolling seals.(在测试中，这些机器人已经展现出了与跳跃的袋鼠和滚动的海豹类似的运动模式)”可知，提到袋鼠和海豹是为了展现机器人的运动模式与这类动物的相似性。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段““This robot excels in complex environments and more notably, its ability to self-adjust to unexpected conditions can deepen human understanding of the laws of biological evolution, teaching us about why spiders have 8 legs, centipedes a hundred and snakes no legs at all, as well as how each has adapted to navigate their environments,” noted Sam Kriegman, lead author of the study.(该研究的首席作者萨姆·克里格曼指出：“这款机器人在复杂环境中表现卓越，更值得一提的是，它能够自我适应意外情况，这有助于人类更深入地理解生物进化的规律，让我们了解到蜘蛛为何有8条腿、蜈蚣为何有100条腿、而蛇为何完全没有腿，以及每种生物是如何适应其生存环境的。”)”可知，萨姆指出这款机器人不仅推动机器人领域发展，还对生物进化研究有重要意义，即具有跨领域启示意义。 D Swallowing electronic devices is not usually a good idea, but researchers have developed a microcapsule called GISMO that can safely travel through the digestive system. It is about the size of a small piece of candy and takes chemical readings every 20 seconds, sending the results to a receiver worn on the belt. This device can offer early warnings of diseased tissue, and it is now being tested in patients with digestive diseases. The digestive system is home to billions of microorganisms, and their chemical activity reflects a person’s health. However, examining the system directly is difficult. Traditional methods like using a tube with a camera are uncomfortable and costly, which discourages many patients from undergoing them. A swallowable camera called PillCam has been used for over twenty years to provide images, but chemical signals — such as gas levels, acid levels, and signs of damage — are often more important for diagnosis. Recent advances have focused on detecting these chemical signals. Researchers have developed capsules that can measure gases like oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. In newer versions, capsules can detect a gas linked to stomach trouble, which is produced by common bacteria that cause ulcers (溃疡). Other capsules can measure ammonia, another sign of the same infection, and use computer algorithms (算法) to map gas levels with great accuracy. Some of these devices have already entered clinical trials and are much more sensitive than traditional breath tests. Beyond detection, scientists aim to create capsules that can not only identify disease but also release drugs exactly where they are needed. This would avoid the common problem of drugs affecting the whole body when only a specific area is damaged. For example, one team is developing a capsule that can release medicine directly into the digestive system. Another project is exploring electrical stimulation of the body’s signaling systems as a new form of medical treatment. These electronic devices are still in their early stages, but they promise a future where the digestive system can be monitored and treated more cheaply and comfortably than ever before. 12. Which of the following can best describe GISMO according to paragraph 1? A. Tiny but informative. B. Real-time but risky. C. Wireless but costly. D. Predictive but ineffective. 13. What are the problems with traditional methods for examining the digestive system? A. High cost and low patient acceptance. B. Physical discomfort and infection risk. C. Complex procedure and unreliable results. D. Unclear images and limited chemical data. 14. What will future capsules be able to do? A. Spot infections without conventional methods. B. Combine detection with targeted drug delivery. C. Provide electrical stimulation as a reliable cure. D. Cure common digestive diseases at a faster rate. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Cure-All Stomach Capsules B. New Capsules Prevent Diseases C. Smart Digestive Capsules D. Advanced Devices Improve Health 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一款可吞服的智能消化道微型胶囊，介绍了它相较于传统检查方式的优势、现有检测功能以及未来精准给药的发展前景，展现了医疗智能设备的进步。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It is about the size of a small piece of candy and takes chemical readings every 20 seconds, sending the results to a receiver worn on the belt.(它只有糖果大小，每20秒读取一次化学数据，并将结果传输至腰带接收器)”可知，GISMO体型小巧，且能够精准采集、传输检测数据，信息丰富实用，符合“小巧且信息量大”的特点。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Traditional methods like using a tube with a camera are uncomfortable and costly, which discourages many patients from undergoing them.(插管摄像等传统检查方式让人不适、费用高昂，使得许多患者不愿接受检查)”可知，传统检查方式价格高、患者接受度低。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Beyond detection, scientists aim to create capsules that can not only identify disease but also release drugs exactly where they are needed.(除检测功能外，科学家旨在研发既能诊断疾病，又能在病灶处精准释药的胶囊)”可知，未来的胶囊可结合疾病检测与靶向给药功能。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章核心围绕用于消化道检测治疗的智能胶囊展开，介绍其功能、优势与未来发展。C项“智能消化道胶囊”最贴合文章主旨适合用作标题。 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。 Inspire Yourself: Simple Steps to Creative Renewal Oftentimes, people find themselves waiting for inspiration to strike like lightning from some external force. But this kind of waiting is useless, because true inspiration does not live outside of us. It comes from within. ____16____ The word “inspire” comes from a Latin word meaning “to breathe or blow into”. Each inhale (吸入) draws in vitality; each exhale (呼出) releases what we no longer need. ____17____ When we breathe with intention, we nourish all the neglected (被忽视的) corners of our inner and outer worlds. Nature has been a source of inspiration for people throughout time. ____18____ The important key here is that to be inspired by nature, you have to be in nature. Notice the weather, the feel of the air, or any smells. Inspiration is always around us, the key is to stay tuned in enough to become sensitive and aware of it. Furthermore, every time we have a new experience, we become more inspired. When we fall into routines, we are going through daily tasks without thinking. ____19____ Instead, you can listen to a new song, or visit a new place. This practice will stimulate different parts of your brain, and have you seeing and thinking in new ways. Finally, we often draw inspiration from observing and engaging in creative expression. Watching a play in person can be extremely rewarding. This kind of experience reaches deep within us, touching the core of what it truly means to be human. Observing others as they express themselves puts us more in touch with our own creative nature. ____20____ It is not uncommon to feel resistance before beginning any one of these things. However, once you take the first step and start, you will find that in that moment inspiration will bloom inside you. A. It is the first thing we do when we enter this world. B. Although this can be comforting, it can also be boring. C. As Van Gogh put it, “The sight of stars makes me dream.” D. In this way, inspiration is a cycle of receiving and releasing. E. It begins the moment we turn inward and choose to awaken it. F. This may mean writing a poem or story, drawing, painting, or dancing. G. As Mountain Dreamer says, “It’s unfamiliar things that stimulate my imagination.” 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. C 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了获得灵感的几种方法。 【16题详解】 上文“But this kind of waiting is useless, because true inspiration does not live outside of us. It comes from within.(但这样的等待毫无用处，因为真正的灵感并不存在于我们身外。它源自内心。)”否定灵感来自外部，点明灵感源于人的内在，E项“当我们转向内心、选择唤醒灵感的那一刻，灵感就开始产生。”承接前文，完成从“否定外部来源”到“引出下文方法”的过渡。 【17题详解】 上文“Each inhale (吸入) draws in vitality; each exhale (呼出) releases what we no longer need.(每一次吸气汲取活力；每一次呼气，释放我们不再需要的东西。)”把“inspire”的词源和呼吸的“吸入-呼出”动作绑定，D项“如此看来，灵感就是一个接纳与释放的循环。”对应“吸入是接收活力、呼出是释放冗余”的过程，把呼吸的循环和灵感的运转逻辑完全打通，贴合段落主题。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Nature has been a source of inspiration for people throughout time.(长久以来，大自然一直是人类灵感的源泉。)”和下文“The important key here is that to be inspired by nature, you have to be in nature.(这里关键一点：想要从自然中获得灵感，你必须置身自然。)”可知，本段核心是自然是灵感的永恒来源，C项“正如梵高所说：“看见繁星，让我心生遐想。”)”用艺术大师的真实创作感悟，作为自然激发灵感的典型例证。 【19题详解】 根据上文“When we fall into routines, we are going through daily tasks without thinking.(当我们陷入一成不变的日常，只是机械地完成日常事务，不再思考。)”和下文“Instead, you can listen to a new song, or visit a new place.(相反，你可以听一首新歌，或是去一个新地方。)”可知，上文说陷入固定日常后，人们会不动脑子地完成每日任务，下文转而建议去体验新鲜事物，B项“虽然这种状态让人安心，但也会让人感到乏味。”先让步承认常规生活的舒适感，再点出它的枯燥弊端，符合语境。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Observing others as they express themselves puts us more in touch with our own creative nature.(观看他人表达自我，能让我们更好地发掘自身的创造天性。)”可知，本段主题是“从观察创意表达、亲身参与创意表达中获得灵感”，F项“这可以是写诗、写故事、素描、绘画或者跳舞。”承接上文“唤醒自身创意天性”的表述，列举出普通人可轻松尝试的创意活动，收束本段内容。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I used to believe that friendship was something that happened naturally, like finding a missing puzzle piece. This idea ____21____ from books and movies, was challenged in my senior year. Our school ____22____ a “Peer Support” program, matching academically strong students with those who were struggling. I was ____23____ with Leo, a quiet boy from another class. My task was to tutor him in math, which I saw merely as a weekly ____24____. I was ____25____ about its deeper value. Our first few meetings were awkward. I would ____26____ concepts, and Leo would nod silently, rarely asking questions. I felt a sense of ____27____, thinking my efforts were like seeds falling on barren soil. I almost quit. One afternoon, a fire alarm rang out. It was a minor drill. As we walked downstairs in the orderly but hurried flow, I noticed Leo was not just quiet; he was apparently ____28____. The overwhelming noise and crowd seemed to ____29____ him. Instinctively (直觉地), I moved closer and said calmly, “Focus on the steps. One at a time, like we break down a math problem.” I wasn’t ____30____. I was showing him a familiar routine. To my surprise, he ____31____ me and nodded, his breathing gradually steadying. That moment changed everything. Leo began to talk. He shared his fear of crowds. I, in turn, shared my ____32____ about exams. Our interaction became two-way. We became a team, ____33____ each other’s struggles. By the end of the term, his grades had improved. But the real success was the bridge we built across the silent ____34____. I had entered to teach, but I left having learned: “True connection isn’t about finding a perfect match, but the courage to build one, piece by piece, across the divides we ____35____.” 21.

Its surface was worn smooth by years of use. “This is a winter whistle,” Grandpa explained. “If you are ever lost in the woods when it snows, blow this. The sound carries far across snow-covered ground. We will hear you and come find you.” Toby slipped it deep inside his winter-coat pocket, “I’m 12, and I no longer need to call for help!” To him, blowing the whistle would mean admitting he was not brave enough. That weekend, Toby went snow-trekking (雪地徒步) in the nearby forest with his best friend Jax. But an argument broke out between them over a silly game. Toby stormed off in anger, leaving Jax behind. He told himself he did not need anyone’s company. He would explore deeper into the woods alone to prove how tough he was. But the sun began to set. Grey clouds rolled in unexpectedly. A bitter winter wind sprang up. Snow began to fall in thick, swirling flakes. The gentle afternoon snow quickly turned into a snowstorm. Visibility dropped sharply. Toby could no longer tell which path led back home. He was lost. Cold bit through his gloves and his winter jacket. His cheeks and nose ached from the bitter wind. Panic rose inside his chest. He pulled his hands out of his gloves and fumbled (摸索) inside his coat pocket. His fingers closed around the hard shape of Grandpa’s whistle. It was right there. But shame washed over him. He had run away after the fight. If he blew the whistle, Grandpa and Jax would know he had acted stupidly. They would laugh at him for getting lost. Pride held him back. He stuffed the whistle back into his pocket and told himself he could find the way home by himself. He struggled forward through the heavy snow. The wind howled, blowing snow into his eyes. The temperature kept dropping. Still, the whistle stayed safely hidden in his pocket. As it was getting dark in the snowy woods, Toby felt close to passing out from the cold. He had to hide behind a large pine tree for shelter. 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。 Inside his pocket, the bone whistle pressed against his hand. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The sound of the whistle drew anxious Grandpa and Jax over. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： Inside his pocket, the bone whistle pressed against his hand. Torn between his stubborn pride and deadly danger, Toby stared at the worn whistle in his freezing hand, wrestling fiercely with his conflicting thoughts. Faced with the biting cold and endless swirling snow, he came to realize that clinging to pointless pride was never true bravery. Shivering violently, he lifted the whistle to his cracked lips and blew hard. Sharp, clear notes of the whistle cut through the howling wind. He kept blowing at regular intervals, hoping the sound could travel far over the snow. The sound of the whistle drew anxious Grandpa and Jax over. Toby’s heart leaped with relief as they finally found him behind the pine tree. Grandpa wrapped a thick blanket around his trembling body and rubbed his cold arms. Jax explained how they followed the whistle here. Ashamed, Toby admitted that it had almost cost him his life just to prove his bravery, thanking them for rescuing him. On their way home, the whistle hanging around his neck, Toby thought to himself: True courage is knowing when you need help and daring to ask for it. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述托比雪地徒步时与好友争执后赌气独自深入森林，遭遇暴风雪迷路受困，因虚荣心迟迟不肯吹响哨子求救，最终在绝境中放下骄傲、吹响哨子获救并领悟真正勇气真谛的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句可知，本段需描写托比绝境中的心理挣扎，在固执的骄傲和致命的危险之间纠结，最终幡然醒悟，放下虚荣、奋力吹响哨子求救。 ② 由第二段首句可知，本段可描写爷爷和杰克斯成功找到托比、暖心救助他，托比坦诚自己的错误与执念，最终领悟真正勇气的内涵、完成成长蜕变。 2. 续写线索 绝境内心挣扎——摒弃虚荣与骄傲——奋力吹响救命哨子——亲友闻声赶来救援——托比愧疚认错——领悟真正勇气的真谛、实现自我成长 3.词类激活 行为类 ①凝视：stare at/fix one’s eyes on ②发现：find/spot ③意识到：come to realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①宽慰：relief/ease/comfort ②感激：thank/appreciate 【点睛】【高分句型1】Faced with the biting cold and endless swirling snow, he came to realize that clinging to pointless pride was never true bravery.（运用了过去分词短语faced with作状语以及that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】Ashamed, Toby admitted that it had almost cost him his life just to prove his bravery, thanking them for rescuing him.（运用了形容词ashamed作状语、that引导宾语从句，以及现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省扬州中学2026-2027学年第一学期自主学习效果评估 高三英语 2026.10 试卷满分: 150分，考试时间: 120分钟 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。每段录音读两遍。 1.

B From the outside, a dream career shows only achievements, but Jeff Lemire explores its inner reality in 10,000 Ink Stains. Written in first person, this book tracks his 25-year journey as a cartoonist, writer and showrunner, from an Ontario farm kid to a household name. In 19 chapters, Lemire focuses mainly on the project processes, framing early failures as key to his success. Lemire started out as a lonely kid, reading all the comics coming back to his hometown. He describes how, if he stuck around his hometown, there were essentially two employment choices: farming or working at a nearby automobile factory. Not being into either, he chose to study film in Toronto instead. Soon he found himself working in restaurants and spending the remainder of his time on his first love: drawing and writing comics. The chapters are full of often-fascinating images set alongside Lemire’s narrative (复述), ranging from early pencil rough drafts and character designs to polished cover art and final comic pages. Readers can see Lemire’s style develop and mature over time. The images also evidence an artist continually willing to take chances and play with new approaches and forms. Lost Dogs, Lemire’s first graphic novel drawn in a loose, moody style, won a Xeric Grant after five years’ efforts, an extraordinary comics award that lifted his confidence to make a living as a cartoonist. Though it took determination to keep going, he ultimately broke through with Tales from the Farm, which aired on Canada’s CBC Television as a miniseries largely shaped by the original cartoonist himself. He also produced The Nobody and became a writer, cooperating with different artists on various storylines. What’s appealing about seeing the story of Lemire’s work life unfold is the massive creativity he has sustained over time. He recounts a creative practice of handling multiple projects at once, an approach that offsets the trap that many artists fall into when they hit a wall on a major project. More than a memoir, 10,000 Ink Stains is a love letter to comics and creativity. Lemire invites readers to see the passion and pain behind every ink stain, uncovering the messy, winding truth of a dream career. 4. Why did Lemire study film in Toronto? A. To enhance his comic skills. B. He disliked the countryside. C. He longed to be a film producer. D. To seek a decent career option. 5. What is the value of the images in Lemire’s10,000 Ink Stains? A. They display his stylistic evolution. B. They replace his written narrative. C. They are all his polished final works. D. They reflect his childhood hobbies. 6. What do we know about Lemire’sLost Dogs? A. It took him a decade to complete. B. It’s a joint creation with other artists. C. Its success fueled his resolve to carry on. D. It was a follow-up to his television series. 7. What does the underlined phrase “hit a wall” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Lose their appeal. B. Run out of ideas. C. Cool down. D. Give up. C While it moves awkwardly and rigidly, Northwestern University’s robot represents a remarkable breakthrough in robotics. The AI-assisted robot, composed of independent modular units like Lego blocks, can handle unexpected damage and adjust its structure and movement strategies according to external changes, demonstrating a form of “motor intelligence” rarely seen in existing robots. Most contemporary robots are equipped with two or four legs, or rely on wheels for movement. Though expert in walking and jumping, they will break down instantly once a leg is lost. In contrast, the novel robot consists of basic modules, each integrating a circuit board, a battery and a motor, which function as the robot’s “nervous system”, “metabolism” and “muscles” respectively. Each module features only one moving joint, yet its simple mechanical design does not restrict its mobility. When connected together, these modules can form robots with three, four or five legs, enabling free shape transformation. The core power driving the robot originates from AI algorithms (算法) that simulate natural evolution. In a virtual environment, the AI rapidly tests billions of structural combinations, discarding unworkable designs and keeping excellent ones. Within seconds, it completes the evolutionary process that would take nature billions of years, generating highly efficient robot structures beyond human imagination. These modular robots achieved fantastic performance. They can move steadily across uneven and varied landscapes autonomously. Even when overturned or losing legs, they quickly adjust their strategies and continue moving. In tests, these robots have already exhibited movement patterns similar to leaping kangaroos and rolling seals. “This robot excels in complex environments and more notably, its ability to self-adjust to unexpected conditions can deepen human understanding of the laws of biological evolution, teaching us about why spiders have 8 legs, centipedes a hundred and snakes no legs at all, as well as how each has adapted to navigate their environments,” noted Sam Kriegman, lead author of the study. This novel technology advances the development of robotics. In the future, such modular parts can be mass-produced, allowing people to put together custom robots easily. 8. What is the most remarkable advantage of the novel robot? A. AI-generated system. B. Odd appearance. C. Rhythmic movement. D. Unique adaptability. 9. What is the AI’s key role in the robot design? A. Evaluating sample data. B. Creating virtual environments. C. Evolving ideal structures. D. Simplifying robot components. 10. Why are kangaroos and seals mentioned? A. To show motion likeness. B. To praise their skills. C. To prove evolutionary laws. D. To compare flexibility. 11. What does Sam mainly say concerning the robot? A. Its affordability. B. Its cross-field implications. C. Its test performance. D. Its large-scale market demand. D Swallowing electronic devices is not usually a good idea, but researchers have developed a microcapsule called GISMO that can safely travel through the digestive system. It is about the size of a small piece of candy and takes chemical readings every 20 seconds, sending the results to a receiver worn on the belt. This device can offer early warnings of diseased tissue, and it is now being tested in patients with digestive diseases. The digestive system is home to billions of microorganisms, and their chemical activity reflects a person’s health. However, examining the system directly is difficult. Traditional methods like using a tube with a camera are uncomfortable and costly, which discourages many patients from undergoing them. A swallowable camera called PillCam has been used for over twenty years to provide images, but chemical signals — such as gas levels, acid levels, and signs of damage — are often more important for diagnosis. Recent advances have focused on detecting these chemical signals. Researchers have developed capsules that can measure gases like oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. In newer versions, capsules can detect a gas linked to stomach trouble, which is produced by common bacteria that cause ulcers (溃疡). Other capsules can measure ammonia, another sign of the same infection, and use computer algorithms (算法) to map gas levels with great accuracy. Some of these devices have already entered clinical trials and are much more sensitive than traditional breath tests. Beyond detection, scientists aim to create capsules that can not only identify disease but also release drugs exactly where they are needed. This would avoid the common problem of drugs affecting the whole body when only a specific area is damaged. For example, one team is developing a capsule that can release medicine directly into the digestive system. Another project is exploring electrical stimulation of the body’s signaling systems as a new form of medical treatment. These electronic devices are still in their early stages, but they promise a future where the digestive system can be monitored and treated more cheaply and comfortably than ever before. 12. Which of the following can best describe GISMO according to paragraph 1? A. Tiny but informative. B. Real-time but risky. C. Wireless but costly. D. Predictive but ineffective. 13. What are the problems with traditional methods for examining the digestive system? A. High cost and low patient acceptance. B. Physical discomfort and infection risk. C. Complex procedure and unreliable results. D. Unclear images and limited chemical data. 14. What will future capsules be able to do? A. Spot infections without conventional methods. B. Combine detection with targeted drug delivery. C. Provide electrical stimulation as a reliable cure. D. Cure common digestive diseases at a faster rate. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Cure-All Stomach Capsules B. New Capsules Prevent Diseases C. Smart Digestive Capsules D.

It comes from within. ____16____ The word “inspire” comes from a Latin word meaning “to breathe or blow into”. Each inhale (吸入) draws in vitality; each exhale (呼出) releases what we no longer need. ____17____ When we breathe with intention, we nourish all the neglected (被忽视的) corners of our inner and outer worlds. Nature has been a source of inspiration for people throughout time. ____18____ The important key here is that to be inspired by nature, you have to be in nature. Notice the weather, the feel of the air, or any smells. Inspiration is always around us, the key is to stay tuned in enough to become sensitive and aware of it. Furthermore, every time we have a new experience, we become more inspired. When we fall into routines, we are going through daily tasks without thinking. ____19____ Instead, you can listen to a new song, or visit a new place. This practice will stimulate different parts of your brain, and have you seeing and thinking in new ways. Finally, we often draw inspiration from observing and engaging in creative expression. Watching a play in person can be extremely rewarding. This kind of experience reaches deep within us, touching the core of what it truly means to be human. Observing others as they express themselves puts us more in touch with our own creative nature. ____20____ It is not uncommon to feel resistance before beginning any one of these things. However, once you take the first step and start, you will find that in that moment inspiration will bloom inside you. A. It is the first thing we do when we enter this world. B. Although this can be comforting, it can also be boring. C. As Van Gogh put it, “The sight of stars makes me dream.” D. In this way, inspiration is a cycle of receiving and releasing. E. It begins the moment we turn inward and choose to awaken it. F. This may mean writing a poem or story, drawing, painting, or dancing. G. As Mountain Dreamer says, “It’s unfamiliar things that stimulate my imagination.” 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I used to believe that friendship was something that happened naturally, like finding a missing puzzle piece.

Its surface was worn smooth by years of use. “This is a winter whistle,” Grandpa explained. “If you are ever lost in the woods when it snows, blow this. The sound carries far across snow-covered ground. We will hear you and come find you.” Toby slipped it deep inside his winter-coat pocket, “I’m 12, and I no longer need to call for help!” To him, blowing the whistle would mean admitting he was not brave enough. That weekend, Toby went snow-trekking (雪地徒步) in the nearby forest with his best friend Jax. But an argument broke out between them over a silly game. Toby stormed off in anger, leaving Jax behind. He told himself he did not need anyone’s company. He would explore deeper into the woods alone to prove how tough he was. But the sun began to set. Grey clouds rolled in unexpectedly. A bitter winter wind sprang up. Snow began to fall in thick, swirling flakes. The gentle afternoon snow quickly turned into a snowstorm. Visibility dropped sharply. Toby could no longer tell which path led back home. He was lost. Cold bit through his gloves and his winter jacket. His cheeks and nose ached from the bitter wind. Panic rose inside his chest. He pulled his hands out of his gloves and fumbled (摸索) inside his coat pocket. His fingers closed around the hard shape of Grandpa’s whistle. It was right there. But shame washed over him. He had run away after the fight. If he blew the whistle, Grandpa and Jax would know he had acted stupidly. They would laugh at him for getting lost. Pride held him back. He stuffed the whistle back into his pocket and told himself he could find the way home by himself. He struggled forward through the heavy snow. The wind howled, blowing snow into his eyes. The temperature kept dropping. Still, the whistle stayed safely hidden in his pocket. As it was getting dark in the snowy woods, Toby felt close to passing out from the cold. He had to hide behind a large pine tree for shelter. 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。 Inside his pocket, the bone whistle pressed against his hand. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The sound of the whistle drew anxious Grandpa and Jax over. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
