The rise of modern science may be considered to date as far back as the time of Roger bacon, who lived between the years twelve fourteen and twelve ninety two. He was probably the first in the middle ages to believe that we must learn science by experimenting on the things around us. Galileo, however, who lived more than three hundred years later, was the greatest of several great men in italy, france, germany or england. They began to show how many important truths could be discovered by experiment. Before the time of gala o learned men believed that large bodies fall more rapidly towards the earth and small ones, because aristotle said so. But gala o go to the top of the leaning tower of pizza in italy. Let fall two unequal stones and proved aristotle was wrong. IT is galail s spirit of going direct to nature and proving our opinions and theories by experiment that has LED to all the great discoveries of modern science. Hello everyone.

They’re Moonwalkers, battery-powered shoes with wheels. They are billed as “the world’s fastest shoes”. How do Moonwalkers work? Fix Moonwalkers to your shoes, power them on, and begin walking. The artificial intelligence software driving Moonwalkers measures and adjusts (调整) on-the-fly to both the terrain (地形) you’re on and the way you walk, providing safe and enjoyable walking experience. Moonwalkers move only when you do. They sense when you’re speeding up or slowing down. LOCK mode allows you to go up and down stairs confidently. Why do you choose Moonwalkers? ·Walk at the speed of a run: Get to where you’re going in less than half the time it normally takes. With a top speed of 7 mph, Moonwalkers improve every step. ·Expand (扩大) your footprint: Moonwalkers make walking many city blocks, even further, no sweat. ·Less stress: Less walking equals less stress on your body. Moonwalkers feature a user-friendly system that helps you naturally maintain mobility and balance. ·Freedom to go anywhere: Tested on dirt and much more, Moonwalkers can handle our current city and allow you to walk a hill like it’s nothing. Also, Moonwalkers can survive walking through rain. Despite their wide uses, they are not roller skates, so they do not freewheel, ever. What is the maximum user weight? Moonwalkers can support a maximum user weight of 220lbs (100kg).

On that day, she was awarded the Fields Medal, often described as the “Nobel Prize of Mathematics”, at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Philadelphia. This achievement marked several historic firsts: she became the first Chinese citizen to ever win the award, the first Chinese woman to do so, and only the third woman in the award’s 90-year history. Wang’s path to this global honor began in a small town. Her parents were both middle school teachers. Despite not having access to top-tier academic resources in her early life, her exceptional talent was evident from a young age. At just five years old, she had already mastered first-grade material and was allowed to skip a grade. In 2007, at the age of 16, she achieved an impressive score of 653 in the national college entrance examination and was admitted to Peking University. After initially enrolling in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences, she followed her passion and transferred to the School of Mathematical Sciences. She earned her bachelor’s degree in 2011 and then continued her studies in France and later at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she received her Ph.D．in 2019. Currently, she holds professorships at New York University’s Courant Institute and the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES) in France. The achievement that secured Wang the Fields Medal was her solution to the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture (also known as the Kakeya needle problem), a century-old problem in geometry. In simple terms, the problem asks: what is the minimum area required to rotate a line segment of length one so that it points in every direction? While solved in two dimensions, it had baffled mathematicians in three dimensions for decades. In February 2025, Wang and her collaborator Joshua Zahl published a 127-page paper proving the conjecture. The solution has been described as a monumental achievement, with other top mathematicians praising her work as a stunning breakthrough that opens new pathways for several other areas of mathematics. 24．(2.5分)What is the main reason for Wang Hong’s international fame? A．She became the first Chinese citizen to win the Nobel Prize. B．She solved a century-old mathematical problem and won the Fields Medal. C．She was the youngest person ever to be admitted to Peking University. D．She transferred from Earth Science to Mathematics at university. 25．(2.5分)According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a record Wang Hong set by winning the Fields Medal? A．She is the third woman to receive the award. B．She is the first Chinese citizen to receive the award. C．She is the first Chinese woman to receive the award. D．She is the youngest Fields Medalist in history. 26．(2.5分)The Kakeya conjecture is best described as a problem concerning: . A．The best way to pack different-sized spheres. B．The minimum area needed for a line to point in all directions. C．The relationship between geometry and music. D．The calculation of the volume of planets. 27．(2.5分)What can be inferred about Wang Hong’s academic journey from the passage? A．Her career path was linear and focused on mathematics from the start. B．Her early academic success was due to her access to top-tier schools. C．She pursued mathematics in several different countries. D．She was recognized for her work on the Kakeya conjecture in 2019. （本题10分）Readers may be familiar with the humorous idea that humans are only the third-cleverest species on Earth after mice and dolphins. But perhaps Douglas Adams should have included dolphins’ cetacean cousins. In a paper just published in Open Mind, CETI researchers describe a strikingly human-like feature in whale communication. Sperm whales communicate using a series of clicks researchers call “codas”, which look a lot like vowels in human languages. For linguists, vowels are characterized by the free flow of air through a vibrating vocal tract. In contrast, consonants involve disruptions of the airflow. A vowel’s basic pitch(technically called F0)is determined by the speaker’s sex and body size. But by moving tongue and lips we shape the sound into higher-pitched “formants”(F1, F2, F3, etc.). Whether we hear an “ah” or an “ee” depends on the relationship between these formants. To humans, sperm-whale codas do not sound like pitches at all; the clicks are much too infrequent and irregular. The clicks become a continuous tone only when they occur 20 to 40 times per second. But when the whales’ silences were removed in software, the researchers could consider them as pitches nevertheless, and look more closely at their other qualities. The next step was taken with the help of artificial intelligence(AI). The researchers used an AI system trained to learn human language to examine the codas. Gasper Begus, a linguist at the University of California and the study’s lead author, says that the AI led them to study the pitch patterns of the clicks — ones that work like human vowel sounds. Sure enough, the whale codas contained two sound patterns resembling those in the F1 and F2 formants of human vowels, but at a much lower pitch. Based on this resemblance, the researchers called them the a-coda and i-coda vowels. They even found that whales could produce diphthongs — two vowels gliding quickly from one to another, like the ah-ee sound in English words like “ride” and “time”. The whales do all this often in what researchers call “conversations”. Exactly what the whales may be saying to each other remains unknown — although working that out is CETI’s eventual goal. That will require a large body of vocalizations to study, as well as an equally big number of observations of how the animals behave and interact with each other. 28．(2.5分)Why does the author refer to Douglas Adams’s joke about mice, dolphins and humans? A．To illustrate a point B．To give an example C．To make a comparison D．To introduce a topic 29．(2.5分)What does the word “disruptions” underlined in paragraph 2 mean? A．complete stops B．breaks in flow C．increases in speed D．extra energy 30．(2.5分)What do we know about sperm whales from the passage? A．They communicate in quite a similar way to humans. B．They produce continuous clicks that sound like pitches. C．They create click patterns resembling human vowels. D．They could produce diphthongs like “ride” and “time”. 31．(2.5分)What can we infer about the CETI researchers from the last paragraph? A．They have paid more attention to the whales’ vocalizations than to their behaviors. B．They have uncovered the nature of the whales’ social behaviors and interactions. C．They will decode the whales’ calls by observing their behaviors and interactions. D．They will carry out more research to better understand the whales’ conversations. （本题10分）The interplay between literature and scientific research has been quite clear throughout history. At a surface level, literature often expects future scientific developments, and science, in turn, provides a rich source of inspiration for literary creation. However, the interaction between these two goes beyond just creativity; it invites deeper thoughts on the ethical (道德的) and philosophical impacts of technological advancements. For instance, science fiction works like Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot play a direct role in shaping and inspiring the development of artificial intelligence (AI). This book pictures a future where robots coexist with humans and are governed by the “Three Laws of Robotics”. These laws not only influence the real-world AI research but also become a basis in the debate surrounding AI ethics. These fictional laws provide more than just a blueprint for scientists; they serve as a bridge, making complex technological issues easier for the public to take in. Yet, the influence of literature on science extends even further. Take Liu Cixin’s The Three-Body Problem as an example. The scientists in this fiction are not simply pioneers of scientific breakthroughs — they also represent the difficult choices and inner conflicts that humanity faces. Through their struggles, Liu presents a tough question: As science pushes us into a new world, are we truly prepared to bear the responsibility for the unforeseen impacts of technological advancements in the future? The true value of literature in relation to science is its ability to stir the pot. It questions not only what we can achieve through science but also whether we should go after these achievements. While science focuses on problem-solving and innovation, literature makes us consider the broader influence on nature and society, ensuring our progress is guided by wisdom, understanding, and humanity. 32．(2.5分)What do we know about I, Robot? A．It instructs scientists in detail. B．It inspires research on bridges. C．It sets laws for robots in the real world. D．It improves public understanding of science. 33．(2.5分)Why does the author mention The Three-Body Problem? A．To warn about the dangers of technology. B．To point out the breakthroughs of science. C．To show literature’s ethical concerns about science. D．To suggest literature’s direct influence on innovation. 34．(2.5分)What is the true value of literature in relation to science? A．Educating and pleasing readers. B．Exploring and explaining scientific concepts. C．Ensuring and smoothing the progress of humanity. D．Challenging and reflecting on scientific development. 35．(2.5分)What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Science: the Blueprint of Literature B．Science: a Whisper in Literature’s Ear C．Literature: a Critical Insight into Science D．Literature: the Gateway to Scientific Ideas （本题12.5分）Do you love birds and want to get closer to their world?

The adorable R2-D2 in the movie inspired her dream of creating a robot friend. College was a challenging start. She struggled with difficult engineering courses and failed a robotics exam. Instead of giving up, she spent countless nights in the library, devoted to her studies. Eventually, she graduated with an engineering degree. After graduation, she joined a team under a famous robotics professor to develop a planet-exploring robot. They faced numerous difficulties, especially disagreements within the team on the design. Cynthia firmly insisted on her ideas and finally, they overcame the barriers. However, when the robot was completed, Cynthia realized it lacked the function of companionship she had pictured. Determined to create a truly friendly robot, Cynthia focused on a project for hospitalized children. She visited local hospitals, had in-depth discussions with medical staff and consulted several child psychologists. These experts shared their insights on children’s emotional needs during hospitalization, such as the importance of consistent companionship and the role of positive distractions (分心的事物). Equipped with them, Cynthia began the creation of Huggable, a teddy-bear-shaped robot. During its development, Cynthia faced financial shortages. She spent months presenting her project to various investors, suffering countless rejections. But her passion and determination paid off when a local tech-enthusiast learned about her vision and provided the necessary funds. A partner’s departure also left her short-handed, but she reached out to former classmates and brought in a new, devoted team member. Now, Huggable is in a local children’s hospital, bringing comfort to young patients. However, as Huggable’s influence grew, so did controversy (争议). Some people worried that relying too much on a robot for comfort might affect children s normal emotional and social development. They argued that children needed real-human interaction to learn communication skills. Articles and comments against Huggable started appearing on the Internet. Soon, the hospital received calls from concerned parents, demanding an explanation. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Facing controversy, Cynthia stood firm, ready to respond positively. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Encouraged by the successful meeting, Cynthia focused on making Huggable even better. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试 —— Unit 1 Science and Scientists 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What are the speakers mainly talking about?

M: Well, a blind person puts on the glasses and looks at something, for example, this pen. First the video camera in the glasses takes a picture of the pen. Then the camera sends the picture to the computer chip in the person’s eyes. W: And then the person can see the pen! M: Exactly! This whole process happens very quickly, of course. W: Wow! Now, using this tool, will a blind person be able to see as well as a normal one? M: No, they won’t have perfect vision, but they will be able to see many things. This tool is still new, but for many of the people in our study, it’s changed their lives. （本题4.5分）听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 18．(1.5分)Who was probably the first in the Middle Ages to encourage experimenting? A．Galileo. B．Roger Bacon. C．Aristotle. 19．(1.5分)Where did Galileo carry out his experiment? A．In France. B．In England. C．In Italy. 20．(1.5分)What is the main purpose of this talk? A．To introduce the development of modern science. B．To show the importance of scientific experiment. C．To list the discoveries by some great scientists. 【答案】18．B 19．C 20．B 【原文】 Hello, everyone. Today my speech is aimed at people who are interested in science. The rise of modern science may be considered to date as far back as the time of Roger Bacon who lived between the years 1214 and 1292. He was probably the first in the Middle Ages to believe that we must learn science by experimenting on the things around us. Galileo, however, who lived more than 300 years later, was the greatest of several great men. In Italy, France, Germany, or England, they began to show how many important truths could be discovered by experiment. Before the time of Galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fall more rapidly towards the earth than small ones, because Aristotle said so. But Galileo, going to the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, let fall two unequal stones and proved Aristotle was wrong. It is Galileo’s spirit of going direct to Nature, and proving our opinions and theories by experiment, that has led to all the great discoveries of modern science. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Do these look like skates? They’re Moonwalkers, battery-powered shoes with wheels. They are billed as “the world’s fastest shoes”. How do Moonwalkers work? Fix Moonwalkers to your shoes, power them on, and begin walking. The artificial intelligence software driving Moonwalkers measures and adjusts (调整) on-the-fly to both the terrain (地形) you’re on and the way you walk, providing safe and enjoyable walking experience. Moonwalkers move only when you do. They sense when you’re speeding up or slowing down. LOCK mode allows you to go up and down stairs confidently. Why do you choose Moonwalkers? ·Walk at the speed of a run: Get to where you’re going in less than half the time it normally takes. With a top speed of 7 mph, Moonwalkers improve every step. ·Expand (扩大) your footprint: Moonwalkers make walking many city blocks, even further, no sweat. ·Less stress: Less walking equals less stress on your body. Moonwalkers feature a user-friendly system that helps you naturally maintain mobility and balance. ·Freedom to go anywhere: Tested on dirt and much more, Moonwalkers can handle our current city and allow you to walk a hill like it’s nothing. Also, Moonwalkers can survive walking through rain. Despite their wide uses, they are not roller skates, so they do not freewheel, ever. What is the maximum user weight? Moonwalkers can support a maximum user weight of 220lbs (100kg). If you weigh more than 220lbs, you can still use Moonwalkers but will experience slightly reduced performance in certain edge cases. 21．(2.5分)What can we know about Moonwalkers?

(如果你的体重超过220磅，你仍然可以使用月球漫步者，但在某些极端情况下，性能会略有下降)”可知，用户体重会影响Moonwalkers的功能。故选C。 （本题10分）Wang Hong, a Chinese mathematician born in 1991 in Guangxi, China, made history on July 23, 2026. On that day, she was awarded the Fields Medal, often described as the “Nobel Prize of Mathematics”, at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Philadelphia. This achievement marked several historic firsts: she became the first Chinese citizen to ever win the award, the first Chinese woman to do so, and only the third woman in the award’s 90-year history. Wang’s path to this global honor began in a small town. Her parents were both middle school teachers. Despite not having access to top-tier academic resources in her early life, her exceptional talent was evident from a young age. At just five years old, she had already mastered first-grade material and was allowed to skip a grade. In 2007, at the age of 16, she achieved an impressive score of 653 in the national college entrance examination and was admitted to Peking University. After initially enrolling in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences, she followed her passion and transferred to the School of Mathematical Sciences. She earned her bachelor’s degree in 2011 and then continued her studies in France and later at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she received her Ph.D．in 2019. Currently, she holds professorships at New York University’s Courant Institute and the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES) in France. The achievement that secured Wang the Fields Medal was her solution to the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture (also known as the Kakeya needle problem), a century-old problem in geometry. In simple terms, the problem asks: what is the minimum area required to rotate a line segment of length one so that it points in every direction? While solved in two dimensions, it had baffled mathematicians in three dimensions for decades. In February 2025, Wang and her collaborator Joshua Zahl published a 127-page paper proving the conjecture. The solution has been described as a monumental achievement, with other top mathematicians praising her work as a stunning breakthrough that opens new pathways for several other areas of mathematics. 24．(2.5分)What is the main reason for Wang Hong’s international fame? A．She became the first Chinese citizen to win the Nobel Prize. B．She solved a century-old mathematical problem and won the Fields Medal. C．She was the youngest person ever to be admitted to Peking University. D．She transferred from Earth Science to Mathematics at university. 25．(2.5分)According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a record Wang Hong set by winning the Fields Medal? A．She is the third woman to receive the award. B．She is the first Chinese citizen to receive the award. C．She is the first Chinese woman to receive the award. D．She is the youngest Fields Medalist in history. 26．(2.5分)The Kakeya conjecture is best described as a problem concerning: . A．The best way to pack different-sized spheres. B．The minimum area needed for a line to point in all directions. C．The relationship between geometry and music. D．The calculation of the volume of planets. 27．(2.5分)What can be inferred about Wang Hong’s academic journey from the passage? A．Her career path was linear and focused on mathematics from the start. B．Her early academic success was due to her access to top-tier schools. C．She pursued mathematics in several different countries. D．She was recognized for her work on the Kakeya conjecture in 2019. 【答案】24．B 25．D 26．B 27．C 【导语】文章介绍了中国数学家王虹的求学经历，她因解决三维挂谷猜想斩获菲尔兹奖，创下多项历史纪录。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Wang Hong, a Chinese mathematician born in 1991 in Guangxi, China, made history on July 23, 2026. On that day, she was awarded the Fields Medal, often described as the ‘Nobel Prize of Mathematics’, at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Philadelphia. This achievement marked several historic firsts: she became the first Chinese citizen to ever win the award, the first Chinese woman to do so, and only the third woman in the award’s 90-year history. (1991年生于中国广西的中国数学家王虹，在2026年7月23日创造了历史。那一天，她在费城国际数学家大会上被授予菲尔兹奖，该奖项常被称作‘数学界的诺贝尔奖’。这一成就创下多项历史性第一：她成为第一位获得该奖项的中国公民，第一位获此殊荣的中国女性，同时也是该奖项90年历史上第三位获奖女性。)”及第四段中“The achievement that secured Wang the Fields Medal was her solution to the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture (also known as the Kakeya needle problem), a century-old problem in geometry. (为王虹赢得菲尔兹奖的成果，是她对三维挂谷猜想（也叫挂谷针问题）的解答，这是一个几何领域百年悬而未决的难题。)”可知，王虹在2026年获得菲尔兹奖，并因解决三维挂谷猜想而闻名。 25．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“This achievement marked several historic firsts: she became the first Chinese citizen to ever win the award, the first Chinese woman to do so, and only the third woman in the award’s 90-year history. (这一成就创下多项历史性第一：她成为第一位获得该奖项的中国公民，第一位获此殊荣的中国女性，同时也是该奖项90年历史上第三位获奖女性。)”可知，王虹获得菲尔兹奖创下的三项纪录：首位中国公民、首位中国女性、史上第三位女性获奖者。选项D“She is the youngest Fields Medalist in history. (她是最年轻的菲尔兹奖得主。)”在文中未提及，因此不是她创下的纪录。 26．细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“The achievement that secured Wang the Fields Medal was her solution to the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture (also known as the Kakeya needle problem), a century-old problem in geometry. In simple terms, the problem asks: what is the minimum area required to rotate a line segment of length one so that it points in every direction? (为王虹赢得菲尔兹奖的成果，是她对三维挂谷猜想（也叫挂谷针问题）的解答，这是一个几何领域百年悬而未决的难题。简单来讲，该问题提出：将一根单位长度线段旋转，使其指向每一个方向，所需要的最小面积是多少？)”可知，挂谷猜想研究的是“将一根单位长度线段旋转指向各个方向所需要的最小面积”，选项B与此一致。 27．推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“In 2007, at the age of 16, she achieved an impressive score of 653 in the national college entrance examination and was admitted to Peking University. (2007年，16岁的她高考取得653分的优异成绩，考入北京大学。)”及第三段中“She earned her bachelor’s degree in 2011 and then continued her studies in France and later at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she received her Ph.D. in 2019. Currently, she holds professorships at New York University’s Courant Institute and the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES) in France. (2011年她取得学士学位，之后赴法国深造，随后前往麻省理工学院，2019年在那里取得博士学位。目前，她同时任职于纽约大学库朗研究所与法国高等科学研究所。)”可知，王虹先后在北京大学（中国）、法国、麻省理工学院（美国）学习，并在纽约大学和法国高等科学研究所任职，说明她在多个国家从事数学研究。 （本题10分）Readers may be familiar with the humorous idea that humans are only the third-cleverest species on Earth after mice and dolphins. But perhaps Douglas Adams should have included dolphins’ cetacean cousins. In a paper just published in Open Mind, CETI researchers describe a strikingly human-like feature in whale communication. Sperm whales communicate using a series of clicks researchers call “codas”, which look a lot like vowels in human languages. For linguists, vowels are characterized by the free flow of air through a vibrating vocal tract. In contrast, consonants involve disruptions of the airflow. A vowel’s basic pitch(technically called F0)is determined by the speaker’s sex and body size. But by moving tongue and lips we shape the sound into higher-pitched “formants”(F1, F2, F3, etc.). Whether we hear an “ah” or an “ee” depends on the relationship between these formants. To humans, sperm-whale codas do not sound like pitches at all; the clicks are much too infrequent and irregular. The clicks become a continuous tone only when they occur 20 to 40 times per second. But when the whales’ silences were removed in software, the researchers could consider them as pitches nevertheless, and look more closely at their other qualities. The next step was taken with the help of artificial intelligence(AI). The researchers used an AI system trained to learn human language to examine the codas. Gasper Begus, a linguist at the University of California and the study’s lead author, says that the AI led them to study the pitch patterns of the clicks — ones that work like human vowel sounds. Sure enough, the whale codas contained two sound patterns resembling those in the F1 and F2 formants of human vowels, but at a much lower pitch. Based on this resemblance, the researchers called them the a-coda and i-coda vowels. They even found that whales could produce diphthongs — two vowels gliding quickly from one to another, like the ah-ee sound in English words like “ride” and “time”. The whales do all this often in what researchers call “conversations”. Exactly what the whales may be saying to each other remains unknown — although working that out is CETI’s eventual goal. That will require a large body of vocalizations to study, as well as an equally big number of observations of how the animals behave and interact with each other. 28．(2.5分)Why does the author refer to Douglas Adams’s joke about mice, dolphins and humans? A．To illustrate a point B．To give an example C．To make a comparison D．To introduce a topic 29．(2.5分)What does the word “disruptions” underlined in paragraph 2 mean? A．complete stops B．breaks in flow C．increases in speed D．extra energy 30．(2.5分)What do we know about sperm whales from the passage? A．They communicate in quite a similar way to humans. B．They produce continuous clicks that sound like pitches. C．They create click patterns resembling human vowels. D．They could produce diphthongs like “ride” and “time”. 31．(2.5分)What can we infer about the CETI researchers from the last paragraph? A．They have paid more attention to the whales’ vocalizations than to their behaviors. B．They have uncovered the nature of the whales’ social behaviors and interactions. C．They will decode the whales’ calls by observing their behaviors and interactions. D．They will carry out more research to better understand the whales’ conversations. 【答案】28．D 29．B 30．C 31．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究发现，抹香鲸的咔哒交流声（尾音）与人类元音的音峰模式高度相似，甚至能发出双元音。目前其具体含义仍未知，研究人员将开展更多研究以破解它们的交流内容。 28．推理判断题。根据第一段“Readers may be familiar with the humorous idea that humans are only the third-cleverest species on Earth after mice and dolphins. But perhaps Douglas Adams should have included dolphins’ cetacean cousins. In a paper just published in Open Mind, CETI researchers describe a strikingly human-like feature in whale communication. Sperm whales communicate using a series of clicks researchers call “codas”, which look a lot like vowels in human languages.( 读者们或许都听说过这样一个有趣的说法：人类在地球上仅次于老鼠和海豚的智力排名中仅位列第三。但或许道格拉斯·亚当斯本应该把海豚的鲸类近亲也纳入其中。在刚刚发表于《开放思维》杂志的一篇论文中，CETI研究人员描述了鲸鱼交流中一个与人类极为相似的特征。抹香鲸通过一系列的咔哒声进行交流，研究人员将这些咔哒声称为“尾音”，它们看起来与人类语言中的元音非常相似。)”可知，文章开头用幽默的说法引出海豚、鲸鱼这类动物，随后转入核心话题：鲸鱼的交流方式存在类似人类语言的特征。引用笑话的目的是引出本文主题。故选D项。 29．词句猜测题。划线词所在句中的“In contrast(相比之下)”一词明确和前一句建立了对比关系。前一句“For linguists, vowels are characterized by the free flow of air through a vibrating vocal tract.( 对于语言学家来说，元音的特点是空气在振动的声道中自由流动。)”指出“元音的特点是气流自由通过振动的声道”，由此可推断，后一句所描述的辅音应与“自由通过”形成相反情况，即气流会受到某种阻碍或干扰。因此，“disruptions”在此语境中应理解为“气流的中断或阻断”。故选B。 30．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Sperm whales communicate using a series of clicks researchers call “codas”, which look a lot like vowels in human languages.( 抹香鲸通过一系列的咔哒声进行交流，研究人员将这些咔哒声称为“尾音”，它们看起来与人类语言中的元音非常相似。)”以及第五段中“Sure enough, the whale codas contained two sound patterns resembling those in the F1 and F2 formants of human vowels, but at a much lower pitch.( 果然，鲸鱼的尾音包含了两种类似于人类元音 F1 和 F2 形成频率的音调模式，但音调要低得多。)”可知，抹香鲸的尾音（咔哒声模式）与人类元音相似。故选C项。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Exactly what the whales may be saying to each other remains unknown — although working that out is CETI’s eventual goal. That will require a large body of vocalizations to study, as well as an equally big number of observations of how the animals behave and interact with each other.( 至于鲸鱼之间究竟在彼此传达什么信息，目前仍不得而知——尽管弄清楚这一点是 CETI的最终目标。这将需要大量的声音记录来进行研究，同时还需要对这些动物的行为以及它们之间的互动进行大量的观察。)”可推知，目前仍未弄懂鲸鱼的交流内容，研究人员需要开展更多研究。故选D项。 （本题10分）The interplay between literature and scientific research has been quite clear throughout history. At a surface level, literature often expects future scientific developments, and science, in turn, provides a rich source of inspiration for literary creation. However, the interaction between these two goes beyond just creativity; it invites deeper thoughts on the ethical (道德的) and philosophical impacts of technological advancements. For instance, science fiction works like Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot play a direct role in shaping and inspiring the development of artificial intelligence (AI). This book pictures a future where robots coexist with humans and are governed by the “Three Laws of Robotics”. These laws not only influence the real-world AI research but also become a basis in the debate surrounding AI ethics. These fictional laws provide more than just a blueprint for scientists; they serve as a bridge, making complex technological issues easier for the public to take in. Yet, the influence of literature on science extends even further. Take Liu Cixin’s The Three-Body Problem as an example. The scientists in this fiction are not simply pioneers of scientific breakthroughs — they also represent the difficult choices and inner conflicts that humanity faces. Through their struggles, Liu presents a tough question: As science pushes us into a new world, are we truly prepared to bear the responsibility for the unforeseen impacts of technological advancements in the future? The true value of literature in relation to science is its ability to stir the pot. It questions not only what we can achieve through science but also whether we should go after these achievements. While science focuses on problem-solving and innovation, literature makes us consider the broader influence on nature and society, ensuring our progress is guided by wisdom, understanding, and humanity. 32．(2.5分)What do we know about I, Robot? A．It instructs scientists in detail. B．It inspires research on bridges. C．It sets laws for robots in the real world. D．It improves public understanding of science. 33．(2.5分)Why does the author mention The Three-Body Problem? A．To warn about the dangers of technology. B．To point out the breakthroughs of science. C．To show literature’s ethical concerns about science. D．To suggest literature’s direct influence on innovation. 34．(2.5分)What is the true value of literature in relation to science? A．Educating and pleasing readers. B．Exploring and explaining scientific concepts. C．Ensuring and smoothing the progress of humanity. D．Challenging and reflecting on scientific development. 35．(2.5分)What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Science: the Blueprint of Literature B．Science: a Whisper in Literature’s Ear C．Literature: a Critical Insight into Science D．Literature: the Gateway to Scientific Ideas 【答案】32．D 33．C 34．D 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了文学与科学研究之间的相互作用及文学对科学发展的道德和哲学思考。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“For instance, science fiction works like Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot play a direct role in shaping and inspiring the development of artificial intelligence (AI). (以艾萨克・阿西莫夫的《我，机器人》这类科幻作品为例，它们在塑造和启发人工智能（AI）发展方面发挥了直接作用。)”和“These fictional laws provide more than just a blueprint for scientists; they serve as a bridge, making complex technological issues easier for the public to take in. (这些虚构的法则不仅为科学家提供了蓝图，更成为一座桥梁，让复杂的技术问题更容易被公众理解。)”可知，《我，机器人》提高了公众对科学的理解。故选D。 33．推理判断题。根据第三段“Yet, the influence of literature on science extends even further. Take Liu Cixin’s The Three-Body Problem as an example. The scientists in this fiction are not simply pioneers of scientific breakthroughs — they also represent the difficult choices and inner conflicts that humanity faces. Through their struggles, Liu presents a tough question: As science pushes us into a new world, are we truly prepared to bear the responsibility for the unforeseen impacts of technological advancements in the future? (而文学对科学的影响远不止于此。以刘慈欣的《The Three-Body Problem》为例，这部小说中的科学家并非仅仅是科学突破的先驱，他们还代表着人类面临的艰难抉择与内心冲突。通过他们的挣扎，刘提出了一个尖锐的问题：当科学将我们推向一个新世界时，我们是否真的准备好承担未来技术进步带来的不可预见的影响的责任？)”可知，作者提到《The Three-Body Problem》是为了展示文学对科学的伦理关注。故选C。 34．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It questions not only what we can achieve through science but also whether we should go after these achievements. While science focuses on problem-solving and innovation, literature makes us consider the broader influence on nature and society, ensuring our progress is guided by wisdom, understanding, and humanity. (它不仅质疑我们通过科学能取得什么成就，还质疑我们是否应该追求这些成就。科学侧重于解决问题和创新，而文学则让我们考虑对自然和社会的更广泛影响，确保我们的进步以智慧、理解和人性为指导。)”可知，文学对科学的真正价值在于挑战和反思科学发展。故选D。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“However, the interaction between these two goes beyond just creativity; it invites deeper thoughts on the ethical (道德的) and philosophical impacts of technological advancements. (然而，这两者之间的互动不仅仅局限于创造力；它引发了人们对技术进步的伦理和哲学影响的更深入思考。)”可知，本文主要讨论了文学与科学研究之间的相互作用及文学对科学发展的道德和哲学思考，所以C选项“Literature: a Critical Insight into Science (文学：对科学的批判性洞察)”最符合文章标题。故选C。 （本题12.5分）Do you love birds and want to get closer to their world?

The adorable R2-D2 in the movie inspired her dream of creating a robot friend. College was a challenging start. She struggled with difficult engineering courses and failed a robotics exam. Instead of giving up, she spent countless nights in the library, devoted to her studies. Eventually, she graduated with an engineering degree. After graduation, she joined a team under a famous robotics professor to develop a planet-exploring robot. They faced numerous difficulties, especially disagreements within the team on the design. Cynthia firmly insisted on her ideas and finally, they overcame the barriers. However, when the robot was completed, Cynthia realized it lacked the function of companionship she had pictured. Determined to create a truly friendly robot, Cynthia focused on a project for hospitalized children. She visited local hospitals, had in-depth discussions with medical staff and consulted several child psychologists. These experts shared their insights on children’s emotional needs during hospitalization, such as the importance of consistent companionship and the role of positive distractions (分心的事物). Equipped with them, Cynthia began the creation of Huggable, a teddy-bear-shaped robot. During its development, Cynthia faced financial shortages. She spent months presenting her project to various investors, suffering countless rejections. But her passion and determination paid off when a local tech-enthusiast learned about her vision and provided the necessary funds. A partner’s departure also left her short-handed, but she reached out to former classmates and brought in a new, devoted team member. Now, Huggable is in a local children’s hospital, bringing comfort to young patients. However, as Huggable’s influence grew, so did controversy (争议). Some people worried that relying too much on a robot for comfort might affect children s normal emotional and social development. They argued that children needed real-human interaction to learn communication skills. Articles and comments against Huggable started appearing on the Internet. Soon, the hospital received calls from concerned parents, demanding an explanation. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Facing controversy, Cynthia stood firm, ready to respond positively. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Encouraged by the successful meeting, Cynthia focused on making Huggable even better. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Facing controversy, Cynthia stood firm, ready to respond positively. She organized a public meeting, inviting those child psychologists she consulted, doctors, and some young patients. A psychologist stated, “Huggable is a great emotional release for children in hospital. It helps them deal with fear and loneliness.” Doctors also showed how Huggable could monitor children’s vital signs while entertaining them, which was a huge help during treatment. Some young patients came on stage, sharing how they played and talked with Huggable. Their enthusiasm convinced the audience, gradually changing their negative views. Encouraged by the successful meeting, Cynthia focused on making Huggable even better. She led her team to dive back into research, cooperating with child psychologists again. They added more interactive features, like telling personalized stories based on children’s interests. They also improved Huggable’s appearance, making it look even more like a real teddy bear. With these improvements, Huggable became even more popular in the hospital. It offered children consistent companionship and helped them grow healthily. Seeing Huggable’s positive impact, Cynthia felt a deep sense of fulfillment. Her childhood dream of creating a robot friend was steadily becoming a reality. 【导语】文章以人物为线索，主要讲述了Cynthia如何克服困难，实现梦想，创造出Huggable机器人，并面对争议，积极回应，最终使Huggable成为儿童情感和社交发展的工具。 【详解】1.段落续写： ① 由第一段首句“面对争议，辛西娅立场坚定，准备积极回应。”可知，本段可描述Cynthia如何面对公众对Huggable的争议，并通过组织公开会议和多方合作，成功地改变了人们对机器人可能影响儿童情感和社会发展的负面看法。 ②由第二段首句“在这次成功会面的鼓舞下，辛西娅专注于把Huggable做得更好。”可知，本段可描写Cynthia在会议成功后，进一步改进Huggable，增加互动功能，促进儿童情感和社交发展。 2.续写线索：组织会议——解释设计初衷并展示数据——专家支持——父母理解——会议成功——改进Huggable——增加互动功能——促进情感和社交发展——团队受鼓舞——Huggable影响增强 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①组织：organize→arrange ②展示：show→showcase ③改善：improve→enhance 情绪类 ①消极的：negative→passive ②积极的：positive→vigorous ③成就感：a sense of fulfillment→a sense of accomplishment 【点睛】【高分句型1】 She organized a public meeting, inviting those child psychologists she consulted, doctors, and some young patients.（运用了现在分词作状语和省略that引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】Doctors also showed how Huggable could monitor children’s vital signs while entertaining them, which was a huge help during treatment.（运用了how引导宾语从句，状语从句的省略和which引导的定语从句） 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
