The tablet computer is one of them, which has both good sides and bad sides. On the one hand, tablets bring great convenience to students. We can search useful information quickly when we study. It helps us learn in a new and efficient way.On the other hand, some students spend too much time playing games or watching short videos. What’s more, using tablets for long hours is bad for their eyes. Some students even get addicted and cannot focus on their study. In my opinion, students should use tablets properly. Tablets are just tools for learning. We should make rules for ourselves. 读后续写 Ricky started feeling ashamed. It struck him that the robot had no intention of stealing his things. It just judged that the objects lying on the floor were unwanted, according to its program. Ricky felt guilty for blaming the robot and shouting at it. He apologized to the robot for his rude words. Holding his beloved T-shirt and toy, he promised that he would no longer leave his room in a mess. Since then, Ricky had decided to become an “extremely efficient boy”. He formed a good habit of tidying up after himself. Once he finished playing with toys or taking off clothes, he would put them in place immediately. He even took part in housework actively. Seeing Ricky’s great change, the robot was pleased. Ricky came to understand that he should take responsibility for his own belongings and keep a tidy living space. 听力原文 Text 1 M: Sarah, your houseplants are so healthy.

B Nuclear expert Peng Shilu once said that he only did two things in his entire life: one was to build nuclear submarines (核潜艇), and the other to build nuclear power plants. Despite being one of the founding members of China’s nuclear power industry, Peng described himself as playing a tiny role in the task. In fact, he held leading positions in most of China’s early nuclear power projects, from the first-generation nuclear submarines to the establishment of Dayawan and Qinshan nuclear power stations. Peng was born in 1925 into a family of heroes. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Peng was selected to study chemical machinery (机械) in the Soviet Union. In 1956, when he was about to graduate, he faced a turning point in his life. At that time, the central government decided to select a group of outstanding students studying abroad to transfer to the atomic energy major. Peng willingly agreed, marking the beginning of his lifelong commitment to developing China’s nuclear power. In 1958, China started to independently develop its own nuclear submarines, and Peng was appointed to take charge of the research and design of the nuclear propulsion system. In the 1980s, China decided to build a commercial nuclear power plant. Appointed as the director-in-chief, Peng once again devoted himself to its preparation and construction. During his career, Peng held a variety of high-ranking titles. In 1994, he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, one of the top academic bodies in China. Peng passed away in Beijing on March 22, 2021 at the age of 96. The Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee awarded the title “Role Model of the Times” to Peng for his contributions. 24．What does the author imply in the first paragraph? A. Peng was actually a very modest person. B. Peng took interest in nothing but nuclear power. C. Peng was the most important figure in the nuclear field. D. Peng played a tiny role in building nuclear power plants. 25．Why did Peng Shilu change his major to atomic energy in 1956? A. Because he found chemical machinery uninteresting. B. Because the Soviet Union offered him a better program. C. Because he was selected by the Chinese government to do so. D. Because he wanted to contribute to China’s nuclear submarine project. 26．How does the author develop the passage? A. By following the time order. B. By showing the great importance. C. By providing some similar examples. D. By explaining the process of research. 27．Which of the following is the proper title for the passage? A. China Honors a Nuclear Power Expert B. Peng Shilu Built Nuclear Submarines C. China Lost a Famous Nuclear Expert D. A Nuclear Hero Devoted Himself to Helping His Country C After a long and busy day at school or work, all we want to do is return to a clean and comfortable home. Smart technology can turn any home into a nicer place to live. You can now turn your thermostat (恒温器) up, lock your doors and play your music with a simple voice command. In fact, smart homes have actually been around for some time. Scottish company Pico Electronics invented a communication protocol (协议) called X10 back in 1975. With radio waves, this protocol allowed users to communicate with various devices in their homes, such as lights and alarms, according to AVSystemsMag, a magazine dedicated to the AV and automation industry. Of course, 4G-and now 5G-wireless technology makes smart homes much more sophisticated (复杂的) and powerful than X10 devices. Perhaps the most widespread smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant. Google Home and Amazon’s Alexa allow users to interact with nearly any device in their homes simply by speaking a few words. This is especially convenient for children and people with physical disabilities, as they can accomplish tasks that would normally be too complex or difficult, according to How To Geek magazine. Common household appliances can become “smart” as well. For example, a smart trash bin can monitor the things you’ve thrown away and place an online order for replacement items, while smart refrigerators can create dinner recipes based on the ingredients that were kept inside, according to How stuff works website. 5G-powered sensors and cameras can monitor almost every aspect of household life. The appeal of all of this convenience has paid off for realtors, who are seeing sales of smart homes skyrocket. You can ask Dave Garland, a realtor with Second Century Ventures. “There’s a new narrative when it comes to what ‘home’ means,” he said in an NPR report. “It means a personalized environment where technology responds to your every need.” 英语第2页（共4 页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 But it’s not just about convenience. Smart homes are also good for the environment. By monitoring your energy use and automatically turning off lights and other devices that you are not using, smart homes can lower how much electricity you use overall. Using less energy means that we use fewer resources such as coal and gas, which is ultimately good for the environment-and our wallets. Well, not everyone is excited about smart home. 28．Where is this passage most probably from? A．A book report. B．A science magazine. C．A research paper. D. A guidebook. 29．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Household devices designed for the disabled. B．All types of smart household appliances. C．Further development of smart home technology. D．Difference between X10 and 5G network. 30．How does smart home technology influence our life? A．Smart trash bins help us find cheap but nice things online. B．Smart homes will help us save energy and reduce pollution. C．Smart homes make us stay at home instead of working out. D．Smart fridges can create proper recipes and cook tasty food. 31．The author may introduce the ______ of smart homes in the next paragraph. A．application B．development C．management D. shortcomings D Today, the widespread ability to use Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services in online retail is transforming how consumers pay for purchases. Rather than relying on traditional payment methods, consumers are increasingly using BNPL services to spread payments across interest-free installments (免息分期付款). In new research, we found that BNPL adoption led to immediate increases in spending. Consumers who adopted BNPL were more likely to purchase, with purchase probability increasing from 17% to 26%. Furthermore, when adopting consumers made purchases, their basket sizes were 10% larger on average than before the introduction of BNPL. Furthermore, the data also reveals a significant aspect of BNPL’s influence on consumer spending patterns. In later studies, it was observed that these increases in spending were not transitory: They lasted for close to six months, showing that BNPL drives lasting gains rather than short-term rises in consumer spending. To understand how BNPL increases spending, we conducted experiments and found that participants who paid in installments felt less financially constrained (财务受限) than those who paid in full. BNPL’s ability to divide payments into smaller amounts gives consumers a sense of better control over their budget. Smaller payments seemed more manageable, even when larger payments were delayed. Additionally, the smaller amounts made consumers feel the cost was less important, encouraging them to add more items to their purchases. At first glance, BNPL may seem like a win-win for both sellers and consumers. However, our findings suggest that sellers are most likely to see increased spending from financially constrained consumers who rely on credit cards. Given that BNPL can encourage overborrowing and lead to financial pressure, it’s important to be careful about who is offered BNPL and how much they can use. Like an attractive dessert, BNPL can seem appealing short-term but carries risks if overused, leading to a financial “sugar crash”. 32. What do we know about BNPL? A. It pushes consumer spending. B. It involves high-interest fees. C. It raises the price of products. D. It sets up a minimum purchase. 33. What does the underlined word “transitory” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. momentary. B. fixed. C. instant. D. lasting. 34. What can we infer about consumers who pay in installments? A. They prefer to pay in full. B. They feel less financially limited. C.

Curiosity An excellent scientist must be very curious about things. Scientists such as Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse discovered things mainly because they wanted to know how things work. 37 Patience Becoming a scientist takes a long time. 38 Even if you think you have received some education on science, you still have a lot of scientific research to do. If you’re an instant-gratification type of person, this may not be the best choice for you. Virtues In order to truly discover and use knowledge for the greater good, a scientist must have a desire to improve people’s life as well as the environment, since they are linked and they can affect one another in the long run. 39 Sticking to an old belief contradicted with evidence is dishonest. However, that belief shouldn’t be changed without powerful evidence. Working habits 40 He/She can work well alone or in groups, depending on what’s needed and also needs to communicate thoughts on paper and verbally. Networking connects him/her with colleagues working on similar projects where he/she may discover something new. A．To make discoveries, you have to think differently. B．There are very few jobs that take longer than this one. C．It also defines a scientist as someone who uses scientific methods. D．One of the main places that many scientists work in is the research laboratory. E．An excellent scientist even takes notes of the smallest observation and keeps it in mind. F．A scientist must report findings honestly regardless of personal interests or public opinion. G．Without a drive to ask questions or even wonder, a scientist will never get to the first stage of the scientific process. 英语第3页（共4 页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 During the Tang Dynasty, there lived a man named Zhao Gu, who was a very talented poet.

Though he didn’t help much around the house, Ricky was still very pleased when his parents bought him the latest model of robot. As soon as it arrived, it went off, cooking, cleaning, ironing, and — most importantly — gathering up clothes from Ricky’s bedroom floor. On that first day, when Ricky went to sleep, he had left his bedroom in a truly disastrous state. When he woke up the next morning, everything was perfectly clean and tidy. 　　In fact, it was actually “too” clean; now Ricky couldn’t find his favorite T-shirt, nor his favorite toy. However much he searched, the two things did not reappear. The same was starting to happen with other things. Ricky began to doubt the robot. He planned to have a close look at the robot, and began following it around the house. Finally he caught it on site when the robot picked up one of Ricky’s toys to hide it. 　　Ricky told his parents that the robot was broken and badly programmed and asked them to have it changed. But his parents told him absolutely not; they were delighted with the new robot, and it cooked like a dream. 　　One day, the robot was whirring (嗡嗡地响) past, and heard the boy’s complaints. The robot returned with one of the boy’s toys, and some clothes for him. “Here, sir. I did not know it was annoying you, ” said the robot. “You are a thief! You’ve been stealing my belongings for weeks!” the boy answered angrily. “The things were left on the floor. I therefore calculated (计算) that you did not like them. I am programmed to collect all that is not wanted, and at night I send it to people who can use it. I am extremely efficient. Were you unaware?” the robot said, with a certain pride. 注意: 续写词数应为150个左右。 Ricky started feeling ashamed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Since then, Ricky had decided to become an “extremely efficient boy”. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 英语第4页（共4 页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
