B Last week,I emerged from the Tube in central London for a day that would once have been unthinkable.First,I bought a morning coffee.Then I went out for a box of sushi.A few hours later,I dropped into a mini-supermarket to buy some tea bags.Each time,I had zero contact with a human.Instead,I ordered and paid for everything using one ot the touchscreens 高三英语8-3 that now pepper our life. Looking back,I find it hard to remember the last time I bought anything entirely from a person.The business logic is obvious:screens reduce staff costs,shorten waiting lines,and encourage more purchases through appealing food photos and non-judgmental ordering. I believe that customers often prefer the ease and speed of touchscreens and that not all human interactions are enjoyable. Yet,I still prefer a world with more time-consuming people than machines.It's not just because machines often fail,but because finding a human can be exciting.That's why I was surprised during a recent trip to Brazil,where I found so many staff in a local supermarket-at checkouts,in aisles,upstairs-that I took photos to show people back horne.Two men even helped me decide which umbrella suited me best. That novel experience heartened me so much that I wasn't surprised to learn some European retailers (are boosting such human interaction.The Dutch chain Jumbo introduced a slower"chat checkout"for customers to talk with cashiers and expanded it to about 200 stores,especially in places where loneliness was a big problem. Earlier this year,an expert noted software engineers felt lonely when they turned to AI instead of their co-workers.I find this easy to imagine.Technology can lead us down many paths,but that does not mean all should be taken. 4.What is a feature of the author's shopping habit in I,ondon? A.Interacting with store staff. B.Placing orders on the phone. C.Using self service machines. D.Avoiding mini-supermarkets. 25.Which word best describes the author's shopping experience in Brazil? A.Pleasing. B.Annoying. C.Disappointing D.Amusing. 26.Why did Jumbo introduce"chat checkout"? A.To encourage interpersonal communication B.To simplify the checkout process. C.To help its employees fight loneliness. D.To expand its business. 27.What message does the author deliver in the text? A.Every cloud has a silver lining. B.Convenience comes at a cost. C All roads lead to Rome. D.The best is yet to come. c Engineers at the University of Califomnia have developed an experimental smart ring that continuously analyzes sweat from the finger to monitor several molecules (associated with nutrition,exercise,and alcohol consumption. The technology marks a shift from the physical measurements collected by most consumer wearables.Existing smart rings typically rely on signals such as heart rate,movement,and skin temperature,while the new device is designed to capture changing chemical information from inside the body.It is described as the first fully integrated smart ring intended for routine biochemical monitoring. The ring contains the entire sensing system rather than relying on a separate patch or external reader.One section houses the sweat collection system,fluid channel,and sensors,while another includes the battery and circuit board.Results are transmitted wirelessly to a smartphone app,allowing biomarker changes to be viewed over time. The device's most important feature is that wearers don't need to exercise or deliberately get sweaty.Fingers continually release small amounts of sweat,even when a person is resting.A soft material inside the ring creates a pressure difference that gently pulls sweat through the skin and into a narrow fluid channel.Afterwards,a set of electrochemical sensors capture that fluid and measure molecules in the collected sweat.The electronic signals are later transformed into estimated concentrations using calibration (factors devcloped for each wearer.This personalized calibration is important because sweat composition and the relationship between sweat and blood measurements can vary from one person to another. The ability to follow several molecules together may reveal patterns that a single reading would miss.Continuous monitoring could show how those levels change after meals,during fasting,throughout exercise,or in response to medication. 高三英语8-4 A ring capturing dynamic chemical information in real time would be extremely uscful for making informed decisions regarding health,diet,and lifestyle. 28.How is the new smart ring different from existing ones? A.It detects heart rates. B.It analyzes chemicals in sweat. C.It works without phones. D.It records body temperature. 29.What does the underlined word"houses"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Connects. B.Contains. C.Transports. D.Generates. 30.Which factor makes the device reliable during the sweat-testing process? A.Sweat collection. B.Blood measurements. C.Individualized calibration. D.Electronic signal transformation. 31.What does the last paragraph tell us about the ring? A.Its production cost. B.Its potential limitations. C.Its practical value. D.Its physical appearance. D In a world first,China has approved a brain implant for commercial use in people with spinal cord (injuries.The device is a brain-computer interface (made by Shanghai's Neuracle Medical Technology,a competitor of Elon Musk's BCI firm Neuralink.Brain implants have been used in clinical tests for decades,but this is the first time such a device has been approved for wide use on patients BCIs,sometimes known as brain-machine interfaces,record brain aetivity.Invasive BCIs like Neuracle's are surgically implanted in or on the brain to record electrical signals from nerve cells.Software decodes these signals to control a computer mouse or an artificial arm One of the first BCIs was created in the early 2000s by a research group BrainGate. Neuracle's BCI,a coin-sized wireless implant on the brain's outer membrane ()is designed for people with spinal cord injuries who still have some upper arm function.While most BCIs are generally developed to assist people with paralysis (or other physical disabilities,Musk's Neuralink envisions a future where such devices can also benefit healthy individuals,an ambitious goal that still lies far in the future. In the US,Neuralink has come the closest to commercializing this technology,but questions about the device's safety remain.In 2022,the Food and Drug Administration(FDA)initially rejected a bid for Neuralink to test its technology in a clinical trial.A trial was eventually approved the following year,and Noland Arbaugh,who was paralyzed below the neck, became the first user to have a Neuralink implant.As of January 2026,the company said it had 21 participants enrolled in its trial.Many other American start-up companies,such as Synchron,are developing their own BCIs and are also running ongoing trials. While there is.convincing evidence from these clinical tests,the devices are still considered experimental.Installing brain implants requires brain surgery,after all,which is highly invasive and carries a risk of infection.And the implants can sometimes move or cause scar tissue buildup over time that degrades their signals.No BCI devices have been approved for commercial use in the U.S.so far. 32.What's special about Neuracle's BCI? A.It controls an artificial arm. B.It first applies to healthy people. C.It receives approval for commercial use. D.It's the world's earliest BCI product. 33.How does the implanted BCI work? A.By controlling a robotic glove. B.By recording the brain signals. C.By stimulating the nerve cells D.By recovering upper arm ability. 34.Why does the author mention Synchron lo paragraph 4? A.To show BCIs are seeing rapid development. B To explain the US companies take the lead. C.To advertise for the newly-founded enterprise. D.To prove Neuralink has a powerful competitor. 高三英语8-5 35.Which of the following statements best describes BCIs according to the text? A.Useful but not acceptable. B.Invasive but highly reliable. C.Dangerous but worth trying. D.Technically progressive but risky. 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。 For many people,"eat less"backfires (because it focuses on reducing calories without addressing how hunger and eating behavior actually work.36-the weight and physical amount of food on their plate-rather than by counting calories.But when portion sizes reduce dramatically under restrictive diets,meals may leave one feeling hungry. .Because people tend to have an idea of how much food is appropriate,"says Barbara Rolls,a professor of nutrition sciences at the Laboratory for the Study of Human Ingestive Behavior at Penn State. The problem is compounded (when those smaller portions are made up of calorie-dense foods like chips,or heavily processed meals.Many ultra-processed foods are also designed to be eaten quickly.They often combinc refined carbohydrates,fats,and salt in ways that make them highly tasty,while being low in water and fiber.That combination allows people to consume calories rapidly.39. Timing plays a critical roleIt can take 15to20 minutes for stretch receptors in the stomach to register fullness.By then,fast,energy-dense foors may already have delivered hundreds of calories. "That's part of the reason why 'eat less'isn't just a matter of self-control,because the body is biologically and psychologically wired to keep eating under these conditions."says Barbara Rolls. A.Thirty minutes for a meal is enough R.Idon't like the“eat less”"message C.Signals telling the brain you've had enough don't switch on immediately D.This occurs before the body has time to respond C.People tend to control how much they eat by volume F.They can pack in substantial energy without taking up much space I'm telling people to eat better quality 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四个选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。 During a night shift at the vet clinic,my colleague mentioned a Yorkshire Terrier puppy.It had treatable diarrhea 泻)but was__4l__for Euthanasia（安乐s死)simply because its owner refused to pay for the__42_ Heartbroken,I called the owner,convincing him to sign over the puppy to me.I treated him,named him Atticus,and he has thrived as my close companion for eight years.Sadly,not all dogs are as43.

At last,the whole family booked flights to visit their relatives.Full ofeager excitement,Clara boarded the plane,counting down the hours until she could step into her imagined paradise.But reality hit her hard the moment they arrived.The air was hot and sticky,full of thick moisture.The roads were narrow and bumpy.Local taxis rumbled (noisily along the streets,and simple wooden houses lined the roadside instead of the neat modern buildings she had pictured.Grandpa's small house was plain and narrow,without the comfortable facilities she was used to back in Indiana. Disappointment washed over Clara again and again.She refused to try local food,kept quiet during family gatherings, and avoided going out with her grandpa.She thought her dream oasis had turned into a dull,uncamfortable place.Grandpa noticed her low spirits and never blamed her.Every day,he gently invited her to tour around the village,yet Clara always made up excuses to stay inside alone,wrapped in her negative mood.One afternoon,Clara sat alone on the back porch,staring blankly at the messy yard,feeling regretful and lonely for being so cold to her kind grandpa.She wondered whether she would ever find the“oasis”she had long dreamed of.. 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。 Slowly,Grandpa walked over and invited Clara for a village tour on his motorcycle.
