Her energy and confidence filled every corner of the classroom. More importantly, she created a safe space where we could make mistakes and discover through trial and error who we wanted to become. Growing up in a small industrial town, I feared success and imagined staying right where I was forever. Mrs. Korthaus helped me see the potential in myself, turning literature into a window to the outside world. More than 25 years later, as an established writer, I took an urgent offer to teach an introductory English course at a local community college. Most of my 40 students were training for manufacturing or healthcare jobs, often working long hours. For them, literature was hardly a natural passion. Remembering Mrs. Korthaus, I avoided adding unnecessary pressure. Instead of demanding attention, I focused on earning their trust, listening to their struggles, and making each lesson practical. Through their homework, my students gradually shared their real lives. One quiet young man surprised us with an insightful discussion on a complex fantasy novel. A devoted husband took careful notes home to his sick wife. A working mother grieving the loss of her son never missed a single class even during winter snowstorms. With patience and understanding, I watched them embrace writing not just as a task, but as a bridge for connection. At the end of the term, my student evaluations arrived. While a few noted my occasional late arrivals after a long commute, one statement received the highest score across the board: I feel that this instructor cares about me. Standing in that classroom, I finally understood what Mrs. Korthaus had lived by decades earlier: a teacher’s true success lies not merely in delivering textbooks, but in helping students believe they are seen, valued, and capable of growth. 4. What influenced the author most about Mrs. Korthaus in high school? A. Her wide knowledge of literature. B. Her tolerance for her students’ mistakes. C. Her patience in offering career advice. D. Her encouragement of the author’s potential. 5. Why are the three students mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To prove their academic success. B. To show how writing healed pain. C. To explain their job training needs. D. To show emotional ties built by writing. 6. Which of the following would the author value most? A. Students felt valued and recognized. B. She was forgiven for her poor attendance. C. Her students got the highest grades. D. Students spoke highly of her teaching. 7. What has the author come to realize about teaching? A. To teach is to touch a heart forever. B. Actions always speak louder than words. C. A good tree always bears good fruit. D. True love never goes without strict rules. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者在学生时代受到Mrs. Korthaus的影响，多年后成为作家并到社区大学任教，通过关心和理解学生，最终领悟到教育的真谛的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Mrs. Korthaus helped me see the potential in myself, turning literature into a window to the outside world. (Mrs. Korthaus帮助我看到了自己的潜力，将文学变成了一扇通往外部世界的窗户。)”可知，Mrs. Korthaus对作者影响最大的是她鼓励作者发掘自身潜能。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“With patience and understanding, I watched them embrace writing not just as a task, but as a bridge for connection. (带着耐心和理解，我看着他们将写作不仅仅视为一项任务，而是作为一种连接的桥梁。)”可知，作者提到三位学生的例子是为了展示写作如何在他们之间建立起情感纽带。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While a few noted my occasional late arrivals after a long commute, one statement received the highest score across the board: I feel that this instructor cares about me. Standing in that classroom, I finally understood what Mrs. Korthaus had lived by decades earlier: a teacher’s true success lies not merely in delivering textbooks, but in helping students believe they are seen, valued, and capable of growth.(虽然有一些人提到我在长途通勤后偶尔迟到，但有一条陈述获得了全班最高分：我觉得这位老师关心我。站在那间教室里，我终于明白了Mrs. Korthaus几十年前所奉行的人生信条：教师真正的成功不仅仅在于传授课本知识，而在于帮助学生相信他们被看见、被重视，并且有能力成长。)”可知，作者最看重的是学生感到被重视和被认可。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Standing in that classroom, I finally understood what Mrs. Korthaus had lived by decades earlier: a teacher’s true success lies not merely in delivering textbooks, but in helping students believe they are seen, valued, and capable of growth. (站在那间教室里，我终于明白了Mrs. Korthaus几十年前所奉行的人生信条：教师真正的成功不仅仅在于传授课本知识，而在于帮助学生相信他们被看见、被重视，并且有能力成长。)”可知，作者领悟到教育的真谛在于触动学生的心灵，让他们感受到被关注和认可。 C Artificial intelligence is changing the way students learn, but experts disagree about whether this is a good thing. Some believe AI will make education more effective, while others worry it may harm the development of important skills. One major advantage of AI in education is personalized learning. In a traditional classroom, all students usually receive the same instruction. AI systems, however, can track each student’s progress and adjust the difficulty of tasks to match their level. For example, a language-learning app might give extra grammar exercises to a student who keeps making the same mistakes, while offering more challenging reading to another who is ahead. This means students can learn at their own speed, which reduces stress and improves results. Another benefit is instant feedback. In the past, students often waited days for teachers to mark their work. Today, many AI platforms correct answers immediately and explain the right solution. This allows learners to fix mistakes before they become bad habits. However, there are real concerns. Some students rely on AI to complete homework without thinking carefully. Instead of solving a problem themselves, they simply copy the machine’s answer. Over time, this may weaken their ability to think critically and work independently. Teachers also worry about privacy, because AI systems collect large amounts of information about students’ learning habits. The key question is not whether AI should be used in schools, but how it should be used. If students treat AI as a tool to support their own thinking, it can be highly valuable. If they treat it as a shortcut to avoid thinking, the cost may be greater than the benefit. 8. Which of the following benefits of AI in education is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. It helps teachers collect more homework. B. It can give students immediate feedback. C. It reduces stress and improves learning results. D. It allows students to learn at their own pace. 9. What may happen if students depend too much on AI to finish homework? A. They may finish their homework more quickly. B. They may develop a habit of depending on technology. C. They may lose the ability to think independently. D. They may get higher scores in the short term. 10. What does the underlined word “shortcut” in the last paragraph most probably mean? A. A longer but more proper way. B. A quicker but less proper way. C. A tool that supports deep thinking. D. A method that requires hard work. 11. What can be inferred from the passage? A. AI is more harmful than beneficial to students’ learning. B. Privacy concerns will likely stop schools from using AI. C. AI’s value depends on whether students use it wisely. D. Personalized learning makes AI better than human teachers. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要探讨了人工智能在教育中的应用，分析了其优势与潜在风险，并强调关键在于学生如何正确使用AI。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This means students can learn at their own speed, which reduces stress and improves results. (这意味着学生可以按照自己的速度学习，这减轻了压力并提高了成绩。)”以及第三段“Another benefit is instant feedback. (另一个好处是即时反馈。)”可知，文中提到了个性化学习、减轻压力提高成绩、即时反馈等好处，但没有提到帮助老师收集更多作业。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Over time, this may weaken their ability to think critically and work independently. (随着时间的推移，这可能会削弱他们批判性思考和独立工作的能力。)”可知，如果学生过度依赖AI完成作业，可能会失去独立思考的能力。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“If students treat AI as a tool to support their own thinking, it can be highly valuable. If they treat it as a shortcut to avoid thinking, the cost may be greater than the benefit. (如果学生将AI视为支持自己思考的工具，它会非常有价值。如果他们将AI视为避免思考的shortcut，代价可能大于收益。)”可知，shortcut与tool to support their own thinking形成对比，指的是一种更快但不恰当的方式，即逃避思考的捷径。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The key question is not whether AI should be used in schools, but how it should be used. If students treat AI as a tool to support their own thinking, it can be highly valuable. (关键问题不在于学校是否应该使用AI，而在于应该如何使用它。如果学生将AI视为支持自己思考的工具，它会非常有价值。)”可知，AI的价值取决于学生是否明智地使用它。 D Sweeteners are widely used in products from yogurts to toothpaste. They claim to let people enjoy sweet tastes without gaining weight or suffering dental problems. However, a growing body of research is suggesting that these substances may bring unexpected consequences. These sweeteners include artificial ones and plant-based substances, including a family of chemicals called sugar alcohols and stevia. Some are hundreds of times sweeter than sugar, so they are added, in tiny amounts to foods. Based on the observation that most are passed out of the body unchanged, scientists assumed they pass through without affecting metabolism (新陈代谢). However, this thing might not be that simple. Short-term controlled studies have shown that replacing sugar with sweeteners does result in lower weight gain. But long-term observations have found the opposite: people who take more sweeteners tend to gain more weight than those who take the least. Other studies indicate that they also have higher rates of heart disease, high blood sugar and cancer than those who avoid them. Proving cause and effect is difficult, as it would require considering many factors: people who use sweeteners may already be at higher risk for these diseases and are attempting to eat more healthily. Nevertheless, the overall evidence was concerning enough to cause the World Health Organization to issue an official warning in 2023, advising against using sweeteners for weight control or disease prevention. (This does not apply to people with high blood sugar.) There are several possible explanations about how sweeteners might cause harm. Some have been found to start the same harmful processes in the stomach and digestive system as sugar. Studies on mice suggest they may affect the function of immune cells that help prevent cancers. New evidence also suggests they can upset the balance of stomach microbes, potentially allowing harmful types to grow. “There are many unanswered questions,” says Dr Herbert Tilg, “but these findings are increasing the level of concern.” Avoiding these sweeteners is easier said than done, as food companies often combine several in one product to create a more natural taste. Regular buyers of packaged snacks or carbonated drinks will find them hard to avoid. The wise choice is to stay away from these products completely. And if you desire something sweet, choose a piece of your favourite fruit instead. 12. What did scientists assume about sweeteners based on early observations? A. They affect the function of immune cells in mice. B. They cause serious damage to the digestive system. C. They result in lower weight gain over the long term. D. They pass through the body without affecting health. 13. What do the long-term observations indicate compared with short-term studies? A. Both short and long-term studies reach the same finding. B. Short-term studies show loss, while long-term ones suggest gain. C. Short-term studies are overall more reliable than long-term ones. D. Long-term studies found higher disease rates than short-term ones. 14. Why is it difficult to prove that sweeteners cause health problems? A. Sweeteners are in such tiny amounts they are hard to measure. B. There are not enough long-term studies to support the findings. C. People choosing sweeteners may already face health conditions. D. Most sweeteners go through the body without leaving any trace. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward sweeteners? A. Concerned. B. Tolerant. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要说明了甜味剂广泛用于各类产品，号称无增重、护牙齿，但研究表明长期摄入可能带来健康隐患，WHO也发出警告，作者建议尽量避开加工食品，想吃甜食可用水果替代。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Based on the observation that most are passed out of the body unchanged, scientists assumed they pass through without affecting metabolism (新陈代谢).(根据大多数物质在体内未发生改变就排出体外的观察结果，科学家推测它们通过时不会影响新陈代谢)”可知，科学家早期认为甜味剂会原样排出体外，不会影响健康。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Short-term controlled studies have shown that replacing sugar with sweeteners does result in lower weight gain. But long-term observations have found the opposite: people who take more sweeteners tend to gain more weight than those who take the least.(短期受控研究表明，用甜味剂替代糖确实会导致体重增加减少。但长期观察发现情况恰恰相反：摄入甜味剂较多的人往往比摄入最少的人更容易发胖)”可知，短期研究显示增重更少；长期观察结果相反，体重更容易增加。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Proving cause and effect is difficult, as it would require considering many factors: people who use sweeteners may already be at higher risk for these diseases and are attempting to eat more healthily.(证明因果关系很困难，因为这需要考虑诸多因素：使用甜味剂的人可能本身已面临更高的患病风险，而他们正试图吃得更健康)”可知，很难证明因果，因为选择甜味剂的人群本身患病风险可能本来就更高。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The wise choice is to stay away from these products completely. And if you desire something sweet, choose a piece of your favourite fruit instead.(明智的选择是完全远离这些产品。如果你想要甜的东西，那就选择你最喜欢的水果来代替吧)”可知，作者对甜味剂感到担忧。 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。 Feeling overwhelmed?

The big city robotics contest was just a month away. He was determined to win first prize — a 3D printer — and get his name on the school’s honor wall. Every day after school, he stayed late to work on it. “Your robot’s getting really good at moving around obstacles,” said Maya, his classmate and friend. She was building a mechanical arm at the bench next to him — and she was also his toughest competition. “But I heard Liam from Grade 8 is joining. His parents got him a coach, and his robot can handle all kinds of obstacles.” Liam came second last year, and his family spent lots of money on his robot stuff. “My robot runs on a program I wrote myself,” Jake said, trying to sound confident. But inside, he felt uneasy. His robot’s parts were old, bought with his saved-up pocket money, and couldn’t compare to the latest equipment. Over the next two weeks, Jake and Maya were always the last to leave the tech room. Jake’s robot steadily improved, navigating the practice course more smoothly each day. Maya’s robotic arm could pick up small balls and drop them into boxes with perfect precision. But then, just a week before the contest, Jake’s robot shut down unexpectedly. The screen flashed with error messages. Jake tried extra parts, but the robot still didn’t work. “The controller is damaged. I can’t fix it in time,” he said sadly, setting his tools down in defeat. The next morning, Maya handed him a small, shiny part in a plastic bag. “This is a spare controller my dad gave me,” she said. “It’ll work with your robot. I reprogrammed my arm and don’t need it anymore.” Jake looked up, surprised. “But your arm...” Maya smiled. “Winning is great, but building robots together is even better, right?” Jake installed (安装) the new part. His robot came back to life, ready for the contest once more. 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。 Finally, the long-awaited contest day arrived. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jake’s face lit up as the principal (校长) handed him the 3D printer. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Finally, the long-awaited contest day arrived. Jake’s robot zipped smoothly around chairs and cones, never hitting a thing. Maya’s arm picked up small blocks one by one, dropping them gently into the right boxes. Liam’s robot spotted all obstacles but slowed down halfway and got stuck in the corner at the end. As the judges read the results, Jake’s heart raced. “First place: Jake’s robot!” the principal announced. Jake felt very pleased, and then turned to Maya. “I couldn’t have done this without her — she gave me the part I needed.” Everyone clapped. Jake’s face lit up as the principal handed him the 3D printer. After thanking everyone, he told the students, “I’m putting this 3D printer in the tech lab for everyone to use. We can make parts together.” Maya nodded. “Yes! Next year, we’ll build even better robots.” Later, while watching Maya teaching younger students to use the 3D printer, Jake realized — winning was nice, but working together to build robots was better. Like his robot and her arm, they were good on their own, but helping each other made everything better. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Jake备战机器人大赛，赛前机器人控制器损坏，竞争对手兼好友Maya主动出借备用控制器帮助他修复机器人，最终Jake夺得冠军并领悟合作价值的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由首句内容可知，第一段续写描写比赛现场的比拼情况。Jake的机器人顺利绕开障碍物，Maya的机械臂精准完成任务，而Liam的机器人中途卡住，评委公布比赛结果，Jake获得第一名，他当众感谢Maya给予的帮助，赢得全场掌声。 ②由首句内容可知，第二段续写描写Jake接过3D打印机后的举动。他宣布将打印机放在技术实验室供全体同学使用，和Maya相约来年一起制作机器人，看着Maya教低年级学生使用打印机，Jake感悟到获胜固然美好，但互助合作更有意义。 2. 续写线索：比赛开幕——机器人依次展示——Liam机器人故障——公布成绩——Jake夺冠致谢——领取奖品——捐献打印机——相约来年参赛——指导学弟学妹——领悟合作胜于独自获胜 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①绕过：zip around/navigate around ②放置：put/place/lay 情绪类 ①温柔地：gently/softly ②满意的：pleased/satisfied/content 【点睛】[高分句型1] Jake’s robot zipped smoothly around chairs and cones, never hitting a thing.（现在分词作伴随状语） [高分句型2] Later, while watching Maya teaching younger students to use the 3D printer, Jake realized winning was nice, but working together to build robots was better.（while引导时间状语从句的省略结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年高二上学期英语试卷 （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） 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。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Weekend and evening trade school programs make it easier to get trained without giving up your job. Who benefits most: •Parents who cannot attend weekday classes. •Workers looking for higher-paying trade jobs. •Adult learners who want flexible training. •Job changers who want new skills while still employed. Weekend schedules are often shorter, so students can finish hands-on training in 6 to 12 months. How to Choose the Best Weekend Trade School •Check official rules: Look for local government permission. •Confirm licensing: Make sure the courses meet your state’s requirements. •Ask about job results: Good schools have partnerships with local employers. •Compare class sizes: Smaller labs mean more personal guidance. •Consider mixed options: Online classes with weekend in-person labs save time.

Her energy and confidence filled every corner of the classroom. More importantly, she created a safe space where we could make mistakes and discover through trial and error who we wanted to become. Growing up in a small industrial town, I feared success and imagined staying right where I was forever. Mrs. Korthaus helped me see the potential in myself, turning literature into a window to the outside world. More than 25 years later, as an established writer, I took an urgent offer to teach an introductory English course at a local community college. Most of my 40 students were training for manufacturing or healthcare jobs, often working long hours. For them, literature was hardly a natural passion. Remembering Mrs. Korthaus, I avoided adding unnecessary pressure. Instead of demanding attention, I focused on earning their trust, listening to their struggles, and making each lesson practical. Through their homework, my students gradually shared their real lives. One quiet young man surprised us with an insightful discussion on a complex fantasy novel. A devoted husband took careful notes home to his sick wife. A working mother grieving the loss of her son never missed a single class even during winter snowstorms. With patience and understanding, I watched them embrace writing not just as a task, but as a bridge for connection. At the end of the term, my student evaluations arrived. While a few noted my occasional late arrivals after a long commute, one statement received the highest score across the board: I feel that this instructor cares about me. Standing in that classroom, I finally understood what Mrs. Korthaus had lived by decades earlier: a teacher’s true success lies not merely in delivering textbooks, but in helping students believe they are seen, valued, and capable of growth. 4. What influenced the author most about Mrs. Korthaus in high school? A. Her wide knowledge of literature. B. Her tolerance for her students’ mistakes. C. Her patience in offering career advice. D. Her encouragement of the author’s potential. 5. Why are the three students mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To prove their academic success. B. To show how writing healed pain. C. To explain their job training needs. D. To show emotional ties built by writing. 6. Which of the following would the author value most? A. Students felt valued and recognized. B. She was forgiven for her poor attendance. C. Her students got the highest grades. D. Students spoke highly of her teaching. 7. What has the author come to realize about teaching? A. To teach is to touch a heart forever. B. Actions always speak louder than words. C. A good tree always bears good fruit. D. True love never goes without strict rules. C Artificial intelligence is changing the way students learn, but experts disagree about whether this is a good thing. Some believe AI will make education more effective, while others worry it may harm the development of important skills. One major advantage of AI in education is personalized learning. In a traditional classroom, all students usually receive the same instruction. AI systems, however, can track each student’s progress and adjust the difficulty of tasks to match their level. For example, a language-learning app might give extra grammar exercises to a student who keeps making the same mistakes, while offering more challenging reading to another who is ahead. This means students can learn at their own speed, which reduces stress and improves results. Another benefit is instant feedback. In the past, students often waited days for teachers to mark their work. Today, many AI platforms correct answers immediately and explain the right solution. This allows learners to fix mistakes before they become bad habits. However, there are real concerns. Some students rely on AI to complete homework without thinking carefully. Instead of solving a problem themselves, they simply copy the machine’s answer. Over time, this may weaken their ability to think critically and work independently. Teachers also worry about privacy, because AI systems collect large amounts of information about students’ learning habits. The key question is not whether AI should be used in schools, but how it should be used. If students treat AI as a tool to support their own thinking, it can be highly valuable. If they treat it as a shortcut to avoid thinking, the cost may be greater than the benefit. 8. Which of the following benefits of AI in education is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. It helps teachers collect more homework. B. It can give students immediate feedback. C. It reduces stress and improves learning results. D. It allows students to learn at their own pace. 9. What may happen if students depend too much on AI to finish homework? A. They may finish their homework more quickly. B. They may develop a habit of depending on technology. C. They may lose the ability to think independently. D. They may get higher scores in the short term. 10. What does the underlined word “shortcut” in the last paragraph most probably mean? A. A longer but more proper way. B. A quicker but less proper way. C. A tool that supports deep thinking. D. A method that requires hard work. 11. What can be inferred from the passage? A. AI is more harmful than beneficial to students’ learning. B. Privacy concerns will likely stop schools from using AI. C. AI’s value depends on whether students use it wisely. D. Personalized learning makes AI better than human teachers. D Sweeteners are widely used in products from yogurts to toothpaste. They claim to let people enjoy sweet tastes without gaining weight or suffering dental problems. However, a growing body of research is suggesting that these substances may bring unexpected consequences. These sweeteners include artificial ones and plant-based substances, including a family of chemicals called sugar alcohols and stevia. Some are hundreds of times sweeter than sugar, so they are added, in tiny amounts to foods. Based on the observation that most are passed out of the body unchanged, scientists assumed they pass through without affecting metabolism (新陈代谢). However, this thing might not be that simple. Short-term controlled studies have shown that replacing sugar with sweeteners does result in lower weight gain. But long-term observations have found the opposite: people who take more sweeteners tend to gain more weight than those who take the least. Other studies indicate that they also have higher rates of heart disease, high blood sugar and cancer than those who avoid them. Proving cause and effect is difficult, as it would require considering many factors: people who use sweeteners may already be at higher risk for these diseases and are attempting to eat more healthily. Nevertheless, the overall evidence was concerning enough to cause the World Health Organization to issue an official warning in 2023, advising against using sweeteners for weight control or disease prevention. (This does not apply to people with high blood sugar.) There are several possible explanations about how sweeteners might cause harm. Some have been found to start the same harmful processes in the stomach and digestive system as sugar. Studies on mice suggest they may affect the function of immune cells that help prevent cancers. New evidence also suggests they can upset the balance of stomach microbes, potentially allowing harmful types to grow. “There are many unanswered questions,” says Dr Herbert Tilg, “but these findings are increasing the level of concern.” Avoiding these sweeteners is easier said than done, as food companies often combine several in one product to create a more natural taste. Regular buyers of packaged snacks or carbonated drinks will find them hard to avoid. The wise choice is to stay away from these products completely.

The big city robotics contest was just a month away. He was determined to win first prize — a 3D printer — and get his name on the school’s honor wall. Every day after school, he stayed late to work on it. “Your robot’s getting really good at moving around obstacles,” said Maya, his classmate and friend. She was building a mechanical arm at the bench next to him — and she was also his toughest competition. “But I heard Liam from Grade 8 is joining. His parents got him a coach, and his robot can handle all kinds of obstacles.” Liam came second last year, and his family spent lots of money on his robot stuff. “My robot runs on a program I wrote myself,” Jake said, trying to sound confident. But inside, he felt uneasy. His robot’s parts were old, bought with his saved-up pocket money, and couldn’t compare to the latest equipment. Over the next two weeks, Jake and Maya were always the last to leave the tech room. Jake’s robot steadily improved, navigating the practice course more smoothly each day. Maya’s robotic arm could pick up small balls and drop them into boxes with perfect precision. But then, just a week before the contest, Jake’s robot shut down unexpectedly. The screen flashed with error messages. Jake tried extra parts, but the robot still didn’t work. “The controller is damaged. I can’t fix it in time,” he said sadly, setting his tools down in defeat. The next morning, Maya handed him a small, shiny part in a plastic bag. “This is a spare controller my dad gave me,” she said. “It’ll work with your robot. I reprogrammed my arm and don’t need it anymore.” Jake looked up, surprised. “But your arm...” Maya smiled. “Winning is great, but building robots together is even better, right?” Jake installed (安装) the new part. His robot came back to life, ready for the contest once more. 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。 Finally, the long-awaited contest day arrived. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jake’s face lit up as the principal (校长) handed him the 3D printer. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
