C 【解析】 【导语】本文是卢浮宫面向游客的官方参观指南，核心是为访客提供清晰、实用的参观全流程基础信息，帮助游客提前了解场馆背景、购票规则和配套服务，顺利完成参观行程。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据图表中Denon Wing部分可知，《蒙娜丽莎》这幅名作就陈列在Denon Wing。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ticket prices部分“Under 18 and EEA residents under 26 FREE Non-EEA visitor rate €32.00 (未满18岁人士、以及欧洲经济区26岁以下居民免费 非EEA访客票价：32.00欧元 )”可知，中国属于非欧洲经济区（EEA）国家，两名成年游客适用非EEA票价，每人32欧元，合计64欧元；10岁儿童符合“18岁以下全免”的规则，无需购票，因此全家总门票费用为64欧元 。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Practical information部分“Walking sticks, folding stools, pushchairs, baby carriers and wheelchairs are available free of charge for visitors who need them. (有需要的游客可免费使用手杖、折叠凳、婴儿推车、婴儿背带和轮椅。)”可知，博物馆将提供游客辅助设施。 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 of the touchscreens 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 home. 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 (零售商) 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 London? A. Interacting with store staff. B. Placing orders on the phone. C. Using self-service machines. D. Avoiding mini-supermarkets. 5. Which word best describes the author’s shopping experience in Brazil? A. Pleasing. B. Annoying. C. Disappointing. D. Amusing. 6. Why did Jumbo introduce “chat checkout”? A. To expand its business. B. To simplify the checkout process. C. To help its employees fight loneliness. D. To encourage interpersonal communication. 7. What message does the author deliver in the text? A. The best is yet to come. B. Convenience comes at a cost. C. All roads lead to Rome. D. Every cloud has a silver lining. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述作者在伦敦自助购物的经历，表达科技便利的同时，人际交流不可或缺。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Each time, I had zero contact with a human. Instead, I ordered and paid for everything using one of the touchscreens that now pepper our life.(每一次，我都没有和任何人接触。取而代之的是，我通过如今遍布我们生活的触摸屏下单并支付所有东西。)”可知，作者在伦敦购物使用自助设备。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“That novel experience heartened me so much that I wasn’t surprised to learn some European retailers are boosting such human interaction.(这段新奇的经历让我备受鼓舞，所以当得知一些欧洲零售商正在促进这类人际互动时，我并不感到意外。)”可知，巴西的购物经历令人愉悦。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“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.(荷兰连锁超市Jumbo推出更慢的“聊天收银台”，让顾客可以和收银员交谈，并推广到约200家门店，尤其是在孤独问题突出的地区。)”可知，该举措是为鼓励人际交流。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文以及最后一段“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.(今年早些时候，一位专家注意到：软件工程师在求助人工智能而非同事时，会感到孤独。我对此不难想象。科技可以引领我们走向许多不同的道路，但这并不意味着所有道路都该去走)”可知，作者认为自助设备带来便利，但也缺失人与人之间的交流，这种便利是有代价的。“Convenience comes at a cost.(便利是有代价的)”符合题意。 C Engineers at the University of California have developed an experimental smart ring that continuously analyzes sweat from the finger to monitor several molecules (分子) 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 (校准) factors developed 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. A ring capturing dynamic chemical information in real time would be extremely useful for making informed decisions regarding health, diet, and lifestyle. 8. How is the new smart ring different from existing ones? A. It detects heart rates. B. It records body temperature. C. It works without phones. D. It analyzes chemicals in sweat. 9. What does the underlined word “houses” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Connects. B. Generates. C. Transports. D. Contains. 10. Which factor makes the device reliable during the sweat-testing process? A. Sweat collection. B. Individualized calibration. C. Blood measurements. D. Electronic signal transformation. 11. What does the last paragraph tell us about the ring? A. Its practical value. B. Its potential limitations. C. Its production cost. D. Its physical appearance. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍加州大学研发的一款可分析汗液分子的新型智能戒指及其工作原理与实用价值。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Engineers at the University of California have developed an experimental smart ring that continuously analyzes sweat from the finger to monitor several molecules (分子) associated with nutrition, exercise, and alcohol consumption.(加州大学的工程师研发出一款实验性智能戒指，该戒指可持续分析手指分泌的汗液，以此监测与营养、运动以及酒精摄入相关的多种分子)”以及第二段中的“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.(现有的智能戒指通常依靠心率、运动和皮肤温度等信号，而这款新设备旨在捕捉人体内部不断变化的化学信息。)”可知，这款新型智能戒指可以分析汗液中的化学物质。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“One section houses the sweat collection system, fluid channel, and sensors, while another includes the battery and circuit board.(一部分houses汗液收集系统、流体通道和传感器，另一部分包含电池和电路板。)”可知，句中houses与后文includes语义相近，意为“容纳，包含”。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This personalized calibration is important because sweat composition and the relationship between sweat and blood measurements can vary from one person to another.(这种个性化校准十分重要，因为汗液成分以及汗液与血液检测结果之间的关系因人而异。)”可知，个性化校准让设备检测结果可靠。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“A ring capturing dynamic chemical information in real time would be extremely useful for making informed decisions regarding health, diet, and lifestyle.(一款能够实时捕捉动态化学信息的戒指，对于人们就健康、饮食和生活方式做出合理判断极具价值。)”可知，本段主要讲述这款智能戒指的实际应用价值。 D In a world first, China has approved a brain implant for commercial use in people with spinal cord (脊髓) injuries. The device is a brain-computer interface (脑机接口) 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 activity. 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 (膜), 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 (瘫痪) 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. 12. 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. 13. How does the implanted BCI work? A. By recording the brain signals. B. By controlling a robotic glove. C. By stimulating the nerve cells. D. By recovering upper arm ability. 14. Why does the author mention Synchron in paragraph 4? A. To explain the US companies take the lead. B. To show BCIs are seeing rapid development. C. To advertise for the newly-founded enterprise. D. To prove Neuralink has a powerful competitor. 15. 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. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了中国批准了全球首个用于脊髓损伤患者的商业脑机接口设备，并讨论了该技术的进展、应用及风险。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In a world first, China has approved a brain implant for commercial use in people with spinal cord (脊髓) injuries. The device is a brain-computer interface (脑机接口) 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. (作为全球首例/全球范围内首次，中国批准了一种植入式脑机接口设备用于脊髓损伤患者的商业应用。该设备由上海的Neuracle医疗科技公司制造，是埃隆·马斯克的脑机接口公司Neuralink的竞争对手。数十年来，脑部植入物一直被用于临床试验，但这是首次有此类设备获批广泛应用于患者)”可知，Neuracle的脑机接口的特殊之处在于它获得了商业使用批准。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“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. (像Neuracle这样的侵入式脑机接口通过手术植入大脑内部或表面，以记录神经细胞的电信号。软件解码这些信号来控制电脑鼠标或人造手臂)”可知，植入式脑机接口通过记录大脑信号来工作。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Many other American start-up companies, such as Synchron, are developing their own BCIs and are also running ongoing trials. (许多其他美国初创公司，如Synchron，也在开发自己的脑机接口，并正在进行试验)”可知，作者提到初创公司Synchron是为了表明脑机接口技术正在快速发展。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第二段“Software decodes these signals to control a computer mouse or an artificial arm. (软件解码这些信号来控制电脑鼠标或人造手臂)”以及第五段“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. (安装大脑植入物毕竟需要脑部手术，这是高度侵入性的，并存在感染风险。而且植入物有时会移动，或者随着时间的推移导致疤痕组织堆积，从而削弱信号)”可知，文章既介绍了脑机接口的技术进步(如商业批准、试验进展)，也指出了其风险(如需要脑部手术、有感染风险、植入物可能移动或形成疤痕组织等)。因此，脑机接口是技术上先进但有风险的。 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 (适得其反) because it focuses on reducing calories without addressing how hunger and eating behavior actually work. ____16____ — 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. “____17____. 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 (恶化) when those smaller portions are made up of calorie-dense foods — like chips, or heavily processed meals. ____18____. Many ultra-processed foods are also designed to be eaten quickly. They often combine refined (精制的) 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. ____19____. Timing plays a critical role. ____20____. It can take 15 to 20 minutes for stretch receptors in the stomach to register fullness. By then, fast, energy-dense foods 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 physiologically and psychologically wired to keep eating under these conditions,” says Barbara Rolls. A. I don’t like the “eat less” message B. Thirty minutes for a meal is enough C. I’m telling people to eat better quality D. This occurs before the body has time to respond E. People tend to control how much they eat by volume F. They can pack in substantial energy without taking up much space G. Signals telling the brain you’ve had enough don’t switch on immediately 【答案】16. E 17. A 18. F 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了为何单纯强调“少吃”的节食建议往往适得其反。 【16题详解】 根据后文“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. (食物的分量和实际摄入量，而不是通过计算卡路里来衡量。但当节食饮食大幅减少食量时，用餐后可能会让人感到饥饿。)”可知，空后提到人们依据餐盘里食物的重量和实物量判断进食、而非数卡路里，对应E选项“人们倾向于通过食物的分量来控制进食量”，逻辑衔接顺畅。 【17题详解】 根据后文“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. (“因为人们通常会有一个关于食物摄入量的合理范围的想法，”宾夕法尼亚州立大学人类摄食行为研究实验室营养科学教授芭芭拉·罗尔斯表示。)”可知，后文教授直接表态否定“少吃”口号，because给出心理学依据：人对合适进食量有固有认知，强行少吃就会饥饿。A选项“我不喜欢“少吃”的说法”符合语境。 【18题详解】 根据上文“The problem is compounded (恶化) when those smaller portions are made up of calorie-dense foods — like chips, or heavily processed meals. (当这些较小的份量包含高热量食物时，问题就会进一步恶化——比如薯片或加工过度的餐食。)”可知，前文提到小份的高热量密度食物（薯片、深度加工餐）的问题，F选项“它们能在不占太多空间的情况下蕴含大量能量”是对这类高能量密度食物特性的补充说明。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Many ultra-processed foods are also designed to be eaten quickly. They often combine refined (精制的) 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. (许多高度加工食品也设计成便于快速食用。它们通常将精制碳水化合物、脂肪和盐以某种方式结合，使其味道鲜美，同时水分和纤维含量较低。这种组合使人们能够迅速摄入热量。)”可知，前文提到这类超加工食品的组合让人们可以快速摄入大量卡路里，D选项“这种情况发生在身体有时间做出（饱腹）反应之前”承接快速摄入热量的结果。 【20题详解】 根据后文“It can take 15 to 20 minutes for stretch receptors in the stomach to register fullness. By then, fast, energy-dense foods may already have delivered hundreds of calories. (胃部的伸展感受器可能需要15到20分钟才能感知饱腹感。而在此期间，高热量、可快速食用的高能量密度食物可能已经摄入了数百大卡的热量。)”可知，空后提到胃部的拉伸感受器需要15-20分钟才能传递饱腹信号，G选项“告知大脑已经吃饱的信号不会立刻启动”对应后文的时间差原理，逻辑连贯。 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.

For as long as she could remember, Chesa had listened to her parents talk warmly about the Hinara, their hometown far across the ocean. Her parents described lush palm trees, warm tropical wind, tasty local snacks and the peaceful countryside where Grandpa lived. Chesa built a perfect, glowing picture of the Hinara in her mind, dreaming that it would be a wonderful oasis (绿洲) full of joy and beauty. At last, the whole family booked flights to visit their relatives. Full of eager excitement, Chesa 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 (发出轰鸣) 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 Chesa 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, uncomfortable place. Grandpa noticed her low spirits and never blamed her. Every day, he gently invited her to tour around the village, yet Chesa always made up excuses to stay inside alone, wrapped in her negative mood. One afternoon, Chesa 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．写作词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Slowly, Grandpa walked over and invited Chesa for a village tour on his motorcycle. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that unforgettable ride, Chesa finally understood the true meaning of an oasis. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】【参考范文】 Slowly, Grandpa walked over and invited Chesa for a village tour on his motorcycle. Hesitantly, she agreed, not wanting to hurt his sincere heart. As the old motorcycle moved slowly along the country road, a brand-new world unfolded before her eyes. Golden rice fields waved gently in the breeze, and clear streams ran quietly through the village. Local villagers greeted them warmly with big smiles, filling the peaceful countryside with warmth. Grandpa pointed at every corner of the village, sharing his sweet childhood memories and simple life stories. Listening patiently, Chesa gradually let go of her prejudice and disappointment. She began to feel the unique beauty and tranquility of this land. From that unforgettable ride, Chesa finally understood the true meaning of an oasis. An oasis was not a perfect, fancy place she had imagined blindly. Instead, it referred to the warmth of family affection and the simple happiness hidden in ordinary life. Ashamed of her previous selfish attitude, Chesa held Grandpa’s hand tightly. In the following days, she actively experienced local life, tasted traditional food and chatted with villagers happily. This precious journey taught her a profound lesson: true beauty lies in love and warmth rather than superficial appearances. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述Chesa从小听父母描绘故乡，在脑海构建了一个美好如绿洲的想象世界。当她终于随家人抵达，却发现环境简陋，和想象差距巨大，满心失望，不愿融入当地生活，对爷爷态度冷淡。爷爷察觉到她低落的情绪，没有责怪她，依旧温柔邀请她逛村庄。一天下午，独自坐在门廊的Chesa满心懊悔，疑惑自己能否找到梦想中的那片“绿洲”。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句可知，本段要写Chesa答应邀请，骑行途中所见乡村景色、村民的热情，爷爷讲述往事，Chesa放下偏见，感受到这片土地独有的宁静美好。 ② 由第二段首句可知，本段揭示主旨：绿洲并非想象中华丽完美的地方，而是亲情的温暖与平凡生活里简单的幸福。描写Chesa内心愧疚，之后主动体验当地生活，感悟真谛 —— 真正的美源于爱与温情，而非外表。 2. 续写线索 应邀坐上爷爷的摩托车 → 沿途欣赏田园风光、感受村民热情 → 聆听爷爷童年故事 → Chesa放下失望与偏见，感受乡土之美 → 领悟绿洲的真正内涵 → 为之前的冷漠感到愧疚 → 主动融入当地生活 → 感悟 3.词类激活 行为类 ①展现：unfold/emerge/reveal ②放弃：let go of/abandon 情绪类 ①犹豫地：hesitantly/reluctantly ②羞愧的：ashamed/guilty 【点睛】【高分句型1】As the old motorcycle moved slowly along the country road, a brand-new world unfolded before her eyes.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Ashamed of her previous selfish attitude, Chesa held Grandpa’s hand tightly.（运用了形容词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省南通中学2026-2027学年第一学期10月阶段考试 高三英语 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

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 of the touchscreens 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 home. 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 (零售商) 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 London? A. Interacting with store staff. B. Placing orders on the phone. C. Using self-service machines. D. Avoiding mini-supermarkets. 5. Which word best describes the author’s shopping experience in Brazil? A. Pleasing. B. Annoying. C. Disappointing. D. Amusing. 6. Why did Jumbo introduce “chat checkout”? A. To expand its business. B. To simplify the checkout process. C. To help its employees fight loneliness. D. To encourage interpersonal communication. 7. What message does the author deliver in the text? A. The best is yet to come. B. Convenience comes at a cost. C. All roads lead to Rome. D. Every cloud has a silver lining. C Engineers at the University of California have developed an experimental smart ring that continuously analyzes sweat from the finger to monitor several molecules (分子) 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 (校准) factors developed 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. A ring capturing dynamic chemical information in real time would be extremely useful for making informed decisions regarding health, diet, and lifestyle. 8. How is the new smart ring different from existing ones? A. It detects heart rates. B. It records body temperature. C. It works without phones. D. It analyzes chemicals in sweat. 9. What does the underlined word “houses” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Connects. B. Generates. C. Transports. D. Contains. 10. Which factor makes the device reliable during the sweat-testing process? A. Sweat collection. B. Individualized calibration. C. Blood measurements. D. Electronic signal transformation. 11. What does the last paragraph tell us about the ring? A. Its practical value. B. Its potential limitations. C. Its production cost. D. Its physical appearance. D In a world first, China has approved a brain implant for commercial use in people with spinal cord (脊髓) injuries. The device is a brain-computer interface (脑机接口) 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 activity. 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 (膜), 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 (瘫痪) 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. 12. 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. 13. How does the implanted BCI work? A. By recording the brain signals. B. By controlling a robotic glove. C. By stimulating the nerve cells. D. By recovering upper arm ability. 14. Why does the author mention Synchron in paragraph 4? A. To explain the US companies take the lead. B. To show BCIs are seeing rapid development. C. To advertise for the newly-founded enterprise. D. To prove Neuralink has a powerful competitor. 15. Which of the following statements best describes BCIs according to the text? A. Useful but not acceptable. B. Invasive but highly reliable. C.

But when portion sizes reduce dramatically under restrictive diets, meals may leave one feeling hungry. “____17____. 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 (恶化) when those smaller portions are made up of calorie-dense foods — like chips, or heavily processed meals. ____18____. Many ultra-processed foods are also designed to be eaten quickly. They often combine refined (精制的) 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. ____19____. Timing plays a critical role. ____20____. It can take 15 to 20 minutes for stretch receptors in the stomach to register fullness. By then, fast, energy-dense foods 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 physiologically and psychologically wired to keep eating under these conditions,” says Barbara Rolls. A. I don’t like the “eat less” message B. Thirty minutes for a meal is enough C. I’m telling people to eat better quality D. This occurs before the body has time to respond E. People tend to control how much they eat by volume F. They can pack in substantial energy without taking up much space G.

For as long as she could remember, Chesa had listened to her parents talk warmly about the Hinara, their hometown far across the ocean. Her parents described lush palm trees, warm tropical wind, tasty local snacks and the peaceful countryside where Grandpa lived. Chesa built a perfect, glowing picture of the Hinara in her mind, dreaming that it would be a wonderful oasis (绿洲) full of joy and beauty. At last, the whole family booked flights to visit their relatives. Full of eager excitement, Chesa 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 (发出轰鸣) 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 Chesa 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, uncomfortable place. Grandpa noticed her low spirits and never blamed her. Every day, he gently invited her to tour around the village, yet Chesa always made up excuses to stay inside alone, wrapped in her negative mood. One afternoon, Chesa 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．写作词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Slowly, Grandpa walked over and invited Chesa for a village tour on his motorcycle. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that unforgettable ride, Chesa finally understood the true meaning of an oasis. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
