W: So, tell us about the tool you’re working on now. M: Well, it uses a computer chip and special glasses. We start by putting the chip in a blind person’s eyes. The chip is very, very small, of course. And the glasses have a very small video camera inside. W: So, how do the computer chip and glasses work together? 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）Choosing to use an electric vehicle (EV) is exciting, but what about paying? Here are the four most common payment choices.Contactless Payments Contactless payments are perfect for drivers in a hurry. With contactless payments, you just tap your phone, and charging starts right away. Operators charge drivers small extra fees, and contactless payments don’t offer discounts.App-Based Payments For home charging users, the apps make it easy to track and manage home charging costs. For operators, app-based systems enable you to collect driver behavior data to improve station performance. New drivers might find the app download and account setup a bit troublesome. The phone signal is necessary for users.Card Payments For older drivers or those who prefer traditional payment methods, card payments are very accessible. For those operators, card readers are easy to set up and maintain and they’re a great alternative if contactless or app systems go wrong. Card payments carry small service fees. Also, card readers need regular care to prevent damage.PnC Payments In a PnC (Plug & Charge) EV charging process, charging starts once you plug in. Plug & Charge payments are linked to a contract (合同) associated with the vehicle and enabled by ISO 15118 using digital certificates. A great EV charger payment system should make charging easier for both drivers and operators. These four payment methods are ready for you to choose from and backed by our round-the-clock after-sales service. 21．(2.5分)Which payment method needs mobile phone signal? A．Contactless Payments. B．Card Payments. C．App-Based Payments. D．PnC Payments. 22．(2.5分)What do Contactless Payments and Card Payments have in common? A．They are suitable for hurried drivers. B．A contract is associated with vehicles. C．Small extra fees are charged to drivers. D．They need regular care against damage. 23．(2.5分)Where is the text probably taken from? A．An online blog. B．An advertisement. C．A science report. D．A fashion magazine. 【答案】21．C 22．C 23．B 【导语】文章介绍了电动汽车充电桩四种主流支付方式，分别说明各类支付方式的优缺点。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据App-Based Payments部分“The phone signal is necessary for users.(用户必须有手机信号才能使用。)”可知，基于应用程序的支付方式需要手机信号。 22．细节理解题。根据Contactless Payments部分“Operators charge drivers small extra fees, and contactless payments don’t offer discounts.(运营商会向驾驶者收取少量额外手续费，并且非接触式支付不提供折扣优惠。)”以及Card Payments部分“Card payments carry small service fees.(刷卡支付会产生少量服务费。)”可知，两种支付方式的共同点是都会向使用者收取小额费用。 23．推理判断题。根据最后一段“These four payment methods are ready for you to choose from and backed by our round-the-clock after-sales service.(这四种支付方式可供您选择，并且配备我们全天候售后服务。)”可知，文章带有产品推介、宣传的性质，属于广告文体。 （本题10分）14-year-old Philo Farnsworth wasn’t looking up at the sky while plowing(犁) the field at his father’s farm. He was looking down at the straight furrows(沟) that coursed over the earth. That’s when he had a sudden insight: The same way the plow went back and forth over the field, an image could be scanned electronically and then transmitted(传输) line by line, much like furrows in a field. It was a vision of the first transmittable TV image. Born in 1906 in a small apartment, he grew up in a family that moved constantly. His formal education was often interrupted, but he had something that couldn’t be taught in any classroom: an almost supernatural ability to see how things worked. By age 12, he had built an electric motor from scratch. At 13, he was repairing neighbors’ radios and electric appliances for pocket money. His teachers quickly realized they were dealing with something extraordinary. He briefly attended college, but his mind was on television, and so he dropped out and began looking for somebody to fund his ideas. That opportunity came, and he traveled to Berkeley, California, to set up shop. The TV tube Philo then developed would become the standard in broadcasting. Yet Philo spent years defending his patent and rebuilding his business after an economic crash. Like all of us, he had his share of challenges, perhaps more. But he kept pushing forward and registered hundreds of patents. Finally, on July 21, 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped out of Apollo 11 onto the moon’s surface in an area called the Sea of Tranquility. Philo Farnsworth was sitting in his living room with his wife Pem, watching the live feed—the image transmitting quickly, row by row like the furrows in a field. He turned to her and said: “Pem, this has made it all worthwhile.” 24．(2.5分)What was inspired by the furrows in the field? A．A type of farming equipment. B．A way of high production. C．A model of a transmitter. D．A method of image transmission. 25．(2.5分)What aspect about Philo amazed his teachers? A．His devotion to science. B．His genius in engineering. C．His expertise in finance. D．His popularity in the neighborhood. 26．(2.5分)Which of the following best summarizes Philo’s life in the 3rd paragraph? A．A hard-won victory over adversities. B．A struggle against financial setbacks. C．A leap from college dropout to celebrity. D．A lifelong pursuit of academic excellence. 27．(2.5分)Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage? A．From Farm Boy to Wealthy Inventor B．Bring the Moon to Your Living Room C．The Vision That Was Born on the Moon D．The Dropout Who Challenged the World 【答案】24．D 25．B 26．A 27．B 【导语】文章主要讲述了14岁的Philo Farnsworth在农场耕地时受到田垄的启发，有了图像传输的想法，后来他成功研发出电视显像管，经历诸多挑战后，最终看到阿波罗11号登月的实时画面，感慨一切付出都值得。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“That’s when he had a sudden insight: The same way the plow went back and forth over the field, an image could be scanned electronically and then transmitted line by line, much like furrows in a field. It was a vision of the first transmittable (传输)TV image.(就在那时，他有了一个突然的领悟：就像犁在田地里来回耕作一样，图像可以通过电子扫描，然后逐行传输，就像田地里的田垄一样。这是对第一个可传输的电视图像的构想)”可知，田地里的田垄启发了图像传输的方法。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段中“By age 12, he had built an electric motor from scratch. At 13, he was repairing neighbors’ radios and electric appliances for pocket money.His teachers quickly realized they were dealing with something extraordinary.(12岁时，他就从零开始制造了一台电动机。13岁时，他开始为邻居修理收音机和电器来赚零花钱。他的老师们很快意识到，他们面对的是一个非凡的人。)”可知，Philo在工程方面的天赋让老师们感到惊讶。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Yet Philo spent years defending his patent and rebuilding his business after an economic crash. Like all of us, he had his share of challenges, perhaps more. But he kept pushing forward and registered hundreds of patents.(然而，在一次经济崩溃后，Philo花了数年时间维护自己的专利并重建自己的企业。像我们所有人一样，他也面临过种种挑战，或许更多。但他不断前进，注册了数百项专利)”可知，Philo的生活充满了挑战，但他始终坚持前行，最终取得了成功，可推理出这体现了他在逆境中来之不易的胜利。 27．主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段中“Finally, on July 21, 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped out of Apollo 11 onto the moon’s surface in an area called the Sea of Tranquility.(最终，1969年7月21日，尼尔·阿姆斯特朗从阿波罗11号飞船踏上月球表面，降落在一个名为宁静海的地方)”以及最后一段中“Philo Farnsworth was sitting in his living room with his wife Pem, watching the live feed—the image transmitting quickly, row by row like the furrows in a field.(Philo Farnsworth和妻子Pem坐在客厅里，观看现场直播——图像一行接一行地快速传输，就像田地里的田垄一样)”可知，文章最后提到Philo在自己的客厅里通过自己发明的图像传输技术，观看到了登月的实时画面，B项“Bring the Moon to Your Living Room(把月亮带进客厅)”形象地概括了这一情节，同时也体现了他发明的电视技术的重大意义，最适合作为文章标题。 （本题10分）When natural disasters occur — wildfires, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis — every minute counts. Today, advanced technology is reshaping how we predict (预测), monitor, and respond to disasters, saving countless lives and reducing damage worldwide. From artificial intelligence (AI) to drones (无人机) and robotics, technology is helping build a stronger planet. Artificial intelligence processes millions of data points — weather patterns, soil wetness, earthquake activity, historical disaster records — to predict risks more correctly than ever before. Machine learning models predict wildfire paths, hurricane strength, and flood areas days in advance. In Japan, AI systems check early signs of earthquakes and give warnings seconds before shaking arrives, enough time for people to take cover. Google’s Crisis Response uses AI to map damaged areas and direct aid within hours of a disaster. Drones fly into dangerous areas — burning forests, flooded cities, broken buildings — to take clear images, locate survivors, and check damage without risking human lives. Robotic dogs and snake-like robots move through the remains to find trapped people. Underwater drones examine damaged ports and oil rigs after storms. Modern warning systems push real-time warnings to smartphones, radios, and TVs. In the U.S., the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) system sends tsunami, hurricane, and wildfire warnings to every mobile phone in a danger area. In India, the National Disaster Management Authority uses SMS and app warnings to reach remote villages, cutting the warning delays (延误) from hours to minutes. Scientists agree technology cannot stop natural disasters — but it can significantly reduce their impact. “We used to react to disasters; now we predict and prepare,” says Dr. Elena, a climate scientist at the University of California. “Technology gives us the time to act.” As climate change increases disaster frequency, these tools will become even more important for protecting lives and livelihoods worldwide. 28．(2.5分)What can be inferred about AI in Paragraph 2? A．It makes predictions based on big data. B．It provides aid directly to damaged areas. C．It reduces the number of natural disasters. D．It prevents natural disasters from happening. 29．(2.5分)Why are the US and India mentioned in Paragraph 4? A．To stress the importance of mobile phones. B．To compare different disasters in the two countries. C．To introduce advanced technology developed there. D．To prove the effectiveness of modern warning systems. 30．(2.5分)According to Dr. Elena, how can technology protect lives and livelihoods? A．By buying people time to prepare. B．By reacting quickly after disasters. C．By replacing humans in rescue. D．By reducing the disaster frequency. 31．(2.5分)Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．Importance of Early Warning Systems B．Development of Disaster Prevention Measures C．Technology: A Safeguard against Natural Disasters D．Drones and Robotics: A Tool for Locating Survivors 【答案】28．A 29．D 30．A 31．C 【导语】文章主要讲述了科技在应对自然灾害方面发挥的重要作用。 【详解】28．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Artificial intelligence processes millions of data points — weather patterns, soil wetness, earthquake activity, historical disaster records — to predict risks more correctly than ever before.(人工智能处理数百万个数据点——天气模式、土壤湿度、地震活动、历史灾害记录——以比以往任何时候都更准确地预测风险。)”可知，人工智能是基于大数据进行预测的。 29．推理判断题。根据第四段“Modern warning systems push real-time warnings to smartphones, radios, and TVs. In the U. S., the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) system sends tsunami, hurricane, and wildfire warnings to every mobile phone in a danger area. In India, the National Disaster Management Authority uses SMS and app warnings to reach remote villages, cutting the warning delays (延误) from hours to minutes.(现代预警系统向智能手机、收音机和电视推送实时预警。在美国，无线紧急警报（WEA）系统向危险地区的每一部手机发送海啸、飓风和野火警报。在印度，国家灾害管理局使用短信和应用程序警报来通知偏远村庄，将预警延误时间从数小时缩短到数分钟。)”可知，本段提到美国和印度是为了证明现代预警系统的有效性。 30．细节理解题。根据最后一段中““We used to react to disasters; now we predict and prepare,” says Dr. Elena, a climate scientist at the University of California. “Technology gives us the time to act.”(“我们过去常常对灾害做出反应；现在我们预测并做好准备，”加州大学的气候科学家埃琳娜博士说。“科技给了我们行动的时间。”)”可知，埃琳娜博士认为科技通过为人们争取准备时间来保护生命和生计。 31．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Today, advanced technology is reshaping how we predict (预测), monitor, and respond to disasters,saving countless lives and reducing damage worldwide. From artificial intelligence (AI) to drones (无人机) and robotics, technology is helping build a stronger planet.(如今，先进的技术正在重塑我们预测、监测和应对灾害的方式，拯救了无数生命，减少了全球范围内的损失。从人工智能到无人机和机器人技术，科技正在帮助建立一个更强大的星球。)”以及下文对各种科技在应对自然灾害方面的具体应用可知，本文主要讲述了科技在应对自然灾害方面发挥的重要作用，故C项“科技：抵御自然灾害的保障”最适合作本文标题。 （本题10分）Artificial intelligence (AI) can now recreate the voice and personality of someone who has died, turning old messages and recordings into a chatbot that carries on a conversation. Whether that comforts grieving people or makes loss harder has remained largely an open question. Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder recruited 16 people, aged 22 to 50, who had each lost a close relative. In two separate 20-minute sessions, every participant talked with two AI versions of that person, and then provided comparisons between them. The team called these systems generative ghosts, AI systems trained on data about a deceased (已故的) person. One version described the person in the third person, as a knowledgeable narrator would. The other spoke as them, in the first person, as though the dead had joined the conversation. Jack Manning, a PhD candidate in information science who took up the subject after losing his sister, expected the sessions to feel disturbing. “I ended up being completely wrong. People thought it was amazing,” said Manning. The distinction between speaking as the dead and speaking about them comes from an earlier framework co-authored by Professor Jed Brubaker. “To our knowledge, we are conducting the first user experience studies of simulated AI ghosts,” said Brubaker. Everyone leaned to the speaking-as version. “I can see her. I can feel her,” said one woman in her early 30s, after hearing the AI speak in the voice of her late grandmother. The clearest lesson had almost nothing to do with getting facts right. What they could not overlook was language that sounded nothing like the person. One young man nearly walked out when the ghost of his stepfather called him “champ”, a nickname the man would never use. All participants said they would use the system again. Almost as fast, most of them named a fear. The comfort was so strong that coming back to it could be hard to resist. Manning argued these tools should be developed cautiously before they become widely marketed to grieving families. 32．(2.5分)What were the participants asked to do during the study? A．Chat with AI ghosts. B．Describe their concerns. C．Analyse the training data. D．Compare their personalities. 33．(2.5分)What was the participants’ reaction to the speaking-as version? A．They found it disturbing. B．They refused to engage with it. C．They felt a strong emotional connection. D．They thought it scientifically inaccurate. 34．(2.5分)Why do these digital tools need careful development before being widely sold? A．They invented too many details. B．They could become emotionally risky. C．They replied in a back-and-forth mode. D．They failed to enable people to get closure. 35．(2.5分)What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Technical Challenges in Recreating Voices with AI. B．The Key to AI Comforting the Deceased Loved Ones. C．A New Entertainment: Chatting with Virtual Relatives. D．Comforting or Harmful: The Double Edge of AI Ghosts. 【答案】32．A 33．C 34．B 35．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了科罗拉多大学研究团队对AI模拟逝者对话系统的用户调研，发现以逝者口吻交流能带来强烈情感慰藉，但也存在过度依赖等风险，需谨慎推广。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第三段“In two separate 20-minute sessions, every participant talked with two AI versions of that person, and then provided comparisons between them. (在两个独立的20分钟环节中，每位参与者都与那个人的两个AI版本进行了交谈，然后对它们进行了比较。)”可知，研究中，每位参与者分别与两种AI版本的逝者进行交流。 33．细节理解题。根据第七段“Everyone leaned to the speaking-as version. “I can see her. I can feel her,” said one woman in her early 30s, after hearing the AI speak in the voice of her late grandmother. (所有人都倾向于以逝者口吻说话的版本。“我能看到她。我能感觉到她，”一位30岁出头的女性在听到AI用她已故祖母的声音说话后说道。)”可知，参与者对以逝者口吻说话的版本感到强烈的情感连接。 34．推理判断题。根据最后一段“All participants said they would use the system again. Almost as fast, most of them named a fear. The comfort was so strong that coming back to it could be hard to resist. Manning argued these tools should be developed cautiously before they become widely marketed to grieving families. (所有参与者都表示他们会再次使用该系统。几乎同样快的是，他们中的大多数人都说出了一种恐惧。这种安慰如此强烈，以至于人们很难抗拒再次使用。曼宁认为，在将这些工具广泛推向悲痛的家庭之前，应该谨慎开发。)”可知，这类面向悲痛家庭的AI工具在广泛市场化前需要谨慎开发是因为它们可能会引发情感层面的风险。 35．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第二段“Whether that comforts grieving people or makes loss harder has remained largely an open question. (这在很大程度上仍是一个悬而未决的问题：这究竟能安慰悲痛的人，还是会让失去变得更难。)”和最后一段“All participants said they would use the system again. Almost as fast, most of them named a fear. The comfort was so strong that coming back to it could be hard to resist. Manning argued these tools should be developed cautiously before they become widely marketed to grieving families. (所有参与者都表示他们会再次使用该系统。几乎同样快的是，他们中的大多数人都说出了一种恐惧。这种安慰如此强烈，以至于人们很难抗拒再次使用。曼宁认为，在将这些工具广泛推向悲痛的家庭之前，应该谨慎开发。)”提到的情感风险及谨慎开发的必要性可知，文章主要介绍了AI“生成幽灵”既能提供慰藉，也存在令人依赖或情感误导的风险，所以“舒适还是有害：AI生成幽灵的双重边缘”适合作为文章标题。 （本题12.5分）Museums, once quiet places filled with history, are now full of digital excitement. By using machine learning and advanced algorithms (算法), these institutions are creating personalized visitor journeys, protecting delicate collections, and revealing hidden stories. 36(2.5分) Smart recommendation engines analyze data such as exhibit popularity and visitors’ past behavior to suggest specific exhibits and events, making each visit unique and surprising. What’s more, AI‑driven virtual guides are serving visitors instead of traditional guides. 37(2.5分) Beyond visitor interaction, AI plays a crucial role in preserving priceless artworks. 38(2.5分) AI can help identify the slightest signs of decay, such as cracks or discoloration, which are often invisible to the human eye. This early warning makes timely repair work possible. Moreover, by predicting future decay patterns, AI helps museums take preventive measures and improve preservation strategies. AI also significantly enhances the educational value of museums, particularly for children and families. It designs learning experiences matching different age groups and learning habits. 39(2.5分) This adaptability ensures that complex historical concepts become accessible and engaging for young minds.

What’s more, AI‑driven virtual guides are serving visitors instead of traditional guides.(智能推荐引擎通过分析展品的受欢迎程度以及访客的过往行为，来推荐特定的展品和活动，使每次参观都独具特色且令人惊喜。此外，由人工智能驱动的虚拟导游正取代传统导游为游客提供服务)”可知，空前提到AI驱动的虚拟向导取代传统向导，C项“它们根据语境回答游客的问题”承接虚拟向导的功能，语义连贯。 38．根据后文“AI can help identify the slightest signs of decay, such as cracks or discoloration, which are often invisible to the human eye. This early warning makes timely repair work possible. Moreover, by predicting future decay patterns, AI helps museums take preventive measures and improve preservation strategies.(人工智能能够帮助识别微小的损坏迹象，例如裂缝或变色，这些通常肉眼难以察觉。这种早期预警使得及时进行维修成为可能。此外，通过预测未来的衰变模式，人工智能帮助博物馆采取预防措施并改进保护策略)”可知，空后说明AI能识别人眼难以察觉的艺术品早期破损，实现及时修复，D项“及时发现破损对文物保护至关重要”引出本段文物保护的核心话题，衔接自然。 39．根据上文“AI also significantly enhances the educational value of museums, particularly for children and families. It designs learning experiences matching different age groups and learning habits. (人工智能还显著提升了博物馆的教育价值，尤其对儿童和家庭而言。它设计出符合不同年龄群体和学习习惯的学习体验)”以及后文“This adaptability ensures that complex historical concepts become accessible and engaging for young minds.(这种适应性确保了复杂的历史概念能够被年轻一代所理解并引起兴趣)”可知，空后提到这种适配性让复杂历史概念更易被青少年理解，G项“为适配使用者，AI展品可以调整内容和任务难度”对应“适配性”的描述，呼应上下文。 40．根据后文“Strict policies should be established to protect visitors’ information.(应制定严格的规定以保护访客信息)”可知，空后指出要制定严格政策保护游客信息，A项“游客数据收集也引发了隐私问题”引出隐私保护的话题，与后文伦理挑战的内容匹配。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Every summer, an average of 37 children die in hot cars in the US.

Nothing made me happier than seeing their eyes light up during these interactive and engaging activities. So I had never imagined that waste items would become our most valuable teaching resources, and that shortage would become the source of our greatest inspiration. Last year, our school was hit by severe budget cuts, which meant many resources for science activities were no longer available. As a teacher who had always relied on vivid experiments to make science fun, I felt extremely frustrated and discouraged. How could I keep my students interested and engaged without the well-equipped lab and expensive materials that had served us so well before? I was at a loss, worrying that my science classes would become boring and ineffective, and that my students would lose their passion for exploring the world through experiments. Just as I was struggling with this problem, my students surprised me in the most unexpected way. When we started our unit on simple machines, something amazing happened. Jamie, a ten-year-old boy full of curiosity, brought in some old bicycle parts from his garage. He said they could be used to make wheels and levers (控制杆). Following his example, Maya shared cardboard boxes that her family had kept for later use. One by one, other students also brought in recycled items: plastic bottles, string, used cans, and even small pieces of wood. By the end of the week, we had transformed the corner of our classroom into an entire “invention lab” using recycled materials and student contributions. At first, I doubted whether these simple, everyday objects could support meaningful learning. However, it turned out the learning that happened in that makeshift (临时的) lab exceeded anything we had accomplished with expensive commercial kits. 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。 In this makeshift lab, students worked with amazing enthusiasm. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the semester, we held a small exhibition for other classes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】       In this makeshift lab, students worked with amazing enthusiasm. Groups gathered around desks piled high with plastic bottles, strings, cardboard boxes, and various waste items. Instead of following strict instructions from expensive commercial kits, they created, tested, and improved their own simple machines. Some used bicycle chains to build a pulley system, while others cut plastic bottles to create a water wheel. When their simple machine successfully lifted a small weight, cheers erupted. Through hands-on creation and repeated attempts, they developed a much deeper understanding of scientific principles. Their eyes shone with confidence and pride, which I had rarely seen before. By the end of the semester, we held a small exhibition for other classes. My students proudly showed off their creations, explaining how they used recycled materials to make something useful. It soon became a hit, inspiring many other classes to collect recycled materials for their own creative activities. The principal visited our classroom and was amazed by what we had accomplished. That day, I learned something no teacher training workshop had ever taught me: constraints don’t kill creativity — they set it free. When we involve students as partners in problem-solving, we tap into their creativity and resourcefulness while building genuine investment in their learning. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述身为科学老师的作者向来依靠精密器材开展趣味实验。学校预算缩减后实验物资紧缺，作者倍感苦恼。不料学生们主动带来各类废旧物品，合力打造出简易创意实验室。这些废旧材料带来的学习效果，远超以往昂贵的专业实验器材。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可以预测续写这段主要内容：学生们利用废旧物品自主制作简易机械，动手实践中深入领悟科学原理，满怀成就感。 ②由第二段首句内容可以预测续写这段主要内容：班级举办废品创意作品展广受好评，作者领悟到困境反而能激发学生的创造力。 2.续写线索：利用废旧物品创作——深入领悟科学原理——满怀成就感——创意作品展广受好评——作者满怀感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①聚集：gather/assemble ②解释：explain/interpret ③鼓舞：inspire/motivate/encourage 情绪类 ①自豪地：proudly/with pride ②惊讶的：amazed/surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] Their eyes shone with confidence and pride, which I had rarely seen before.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] The principal visited our classroom and was amazed by what we had accomplished.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力。考试正式。开始。Have you talked over your future plan with your parents?

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 es 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 gallio, 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 gallo'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.

But gallio going to the top of the leaning tower of pizza in italy, let fall two unequal stones, and proved aristotle was wrong. IT is galileos 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. 听力部分到此结束。 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 does Sarah plan to do after graduation?

Here are the four most common payment choices.Contactless Payments Contactless payments are perfect for drivers in a hurry. With contactless payments, you just tap your phone, and charging starts right away. Operators charge drivers small extra fees, and contactless payments don’t offer discounts.App-Based Payments For home charging users, the apps make it easy to track and manage home charging costs. For operators, app-based systems enable you to collect driver behavior data to improve station performance. New drivers might find the app download and account setup a bit troublesome. The phone signal is necessary for users.Card Payments For older drivers or those who prefer traditional payment methods, card payments are very accessible. For those operators, card readers are easy to set up and maintain and they’re a great alternative if contactless or app systems go wrong. Card payments carry small service fees. Also, card readers need regular care to prevent damage.PnC Payments In a PnC (Plug & Charge) EV charging process, charging starts once you plug in. Plug & Charge payments are linked to a contract (合同) associated with the vehicle and enabled by ISO 15118 using digital certificates. A great EV charger payment system should make charging easier for both drivers and operators. These four payment methods are ready for you to choose from and backed by our round-the-clock after-sales service. 21．(2.5分)Which payment method needs mobile phone signal? A．Contactless Payments.

He was looking down at the straight furrows(沟) that coursed over the earth. That’s when he had a sudden insight: The same way the plow went back and forth over the field, an image could be scanned electronically and then transmitted(传输) line by line, much like furrows in a field. It was a vision of the first transmittable TV image. Born in 1906 in a small apartment, he grew up in a family that moved constantly. His formal education was often interrupted, but he had something that couldn’t be taught in any classroom: an almost supernatural ability to see how things worked. By age 12, he had built an electric motor from scratch. At 13, he was repairing neighbors’ radios and electric appliances for pocket money. His teachers quickly realized they were dealing with something extraordinary. He briefly attended college, but his mind was on television, and so he dropped out and began looking for somebody to fund his ideas. That opportunity came, and he traveled to Berkeley, California, to set up shop. The TV tube Philo then developed would become the standard in broadcasting. Yet Philo spent years defending his patent and rebuilding his business after an economic crash. Like all of us, he had his share of challenges, perhaps more. But he kept pushing forward and registered hundreds of patents. Finally, on July 21, 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped out of Apollo 11 onto the moon’s surface in an area called the Sea of Tranquility. Philo Farnsworth was sitting in his living room with his wife Pem, watching the live feed—the image transmitting quickly, row by row like the furrows in a field. He turned to her and said: “Pem, this has made it all worthwhile.” 24．(2.5分)What was inspired by the furrows in the field? A．A type of farming equipment. B．A way of high production. C．A model of a transmitter. D．A method of image transmission. 25．(2.5分)What aspect about Philo amazed his teachers? A．His devotion to science. B．His genius in engineering. C．His expertise in finance. D．His popularity in the neighborhood. 26．(2.5分)Which of the following best summarizes Philo’s life in the 3rd paragraph? A．A hard-won victory over adversities. B．A struggle against financial setbacks. C．A leap from college dropout to celebrity. D．A lifelong pursuit of academic excellence. 27．(2.5分)Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage? A．From Farm Boy to Wealthy Inventor B．Bring the Moon to Your Living Room C．The Vision That Was Born on the Moon D．The Dropout Who Challenged the World （本题10分）When natural disasters occur — wildfires, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis — every minute counts. Today, advanced technology is reshaping how we predict (预测), monitor, and respond to disasters, saving countless lives and reducing damage worldwide. From artificial intelligence (AI) to drones (无人机) and robotics, technology is helping build a stronger planet. Artificial intelligence processes millions of data points — weather patterns, soil wetness, earthquake activity, historical disaster records — to predict risks more correctly than ever before. Machine learning models predict wildfire paths, hurricane strength, and flood areas days in advance. In Japan, AI systems check early signs of earthquakes and give warnings seconds before shaking arrives, enough time for people to take cover. Google’s Crisis Response uses AI to map damaged areas and direct aid within hours of a disaster. Drones fly into dangerous areas — burning forests, flooded cities, broken buildings — to take clear images, locate survivors, and check damage without risking human lives. Robotic dogs and snake-like robots move through the remains to find trapped people. Underwater drones examine damaged ports and oil rigs after storms. Modern warning systems push real-time warnings to smartphones, radios, and TVs. In the U.S., the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) system sends tsunami, hurricane, and wildfire warnings to every mobile phone in a danger area. In India, the National Disaster Management Authority uses SMS and app warnings to reach remote villages, cutting the warning delays (延误) from hours to minutes. Scientists agree technology cannot stop natural disasters — but it can significantly reduce their impact. “We used to react to disasters; now we predict and prepare,” says Dr. Elena, a climate scientist at the University of California. “Technology gives us the time to act.” As climate change increases disaster frequency, these tools will become even more important for protecting lives and livelihoods worldwide. 28．(2.5分)What can be inferred about AI in Paragraph 2? A．It makes predictions based on big data. B．It provides aid directly to damaged areas. C．It reduces the number of natural disasters. D．It prevents natural disasters from happening. 29．(2.5分)Why are the US and India mentioned in Paragraph 4? A．To stress the importance of mobile phones. B．To compare different disasters in the two countries. C．To introduce advanced technology developed there. D．To prove the effectiveness of modern warning systems. 30．(2.5分)According to Dr. Elena, how can technology protect lives and livelihoods? A．By buying people time to prepare. B．By reacting quickly after disasters. C．By replacing humans in rescue. D．By reducing the disaster frequency. 31．(2.5分)Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．Importance of Early Warning Systems B．Development of Disaster Prevention Measures C．Technology: A Safeguard against Natural Disasters D．Drones and Robotics: A Tool for Locating Survivors （本题10分）Artificial intelligence (AI) can now recreate the voice and personality of someone who has died, turning old messages and recordings into a chatbot that carries on a conversation. Whether that comforts grieving people or makes loss harder has remained largely an open question. Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder recruited 16 people, aged 22 to 50, who had each lost a close relative. In two separate 20-minute sessions, every participant talked with two AI versions of that person, and then provided comparisons between them. The team called these systems generative ghosts, AI systems trained on data about a deceased (已故的) person. One version described the person in the third person, as a knowledgeable narrator would. The other spoke as them, in the first person, as though the dead had joined the conversation. Jack Manning, a PhD candidate in information science who took up the subject after losing his sister, expected the sessions to feel disturbing. “I ended up being completely wrong. People thought it was amazing,” said Manning. The distinction between speaking as the dead and speaking about them comes from an earlier framework co-authored by Professor Jed Brubaker. “To our knowledge, we are conducting the first user experience studies of simulated AI ghosts,” said Brubaker. Everyone leaned to the speaking-as version. “I can see her. I can feel her,” said one woman in her early 30s, after hearing the AI speak in the voice of her late grandmother. The clearest lesson had almost nothing to do with getting facts right. What they could not overlook was language that sounded nothing like the person. One young man nearly walked out when the ghost of his stepfather called him “champ”, a nickname the man would never use. All participants said they would use the system again. Almost as fast, most of them named a fear. The comfort was so strong that coming back to it could be hard to resist. Manning argued these tools should be developed cautiously before they become widely marketed to grieving families. 32．(2.5分)What were the participants asked to do during the study? A．Chat with AI ghosts. B．Describe their concerns. C．Analyse the training data. D．Compare their personalities. 33．(2.5分)What was the participants’ reaction to the speaking-as version? A．They found it disturbing. B．They refused to engage with it. C．They felt a strong emotional connection. D．They thought it scientifically inaccurate. 34．(2.5分)Why do these digital tools need careful development before being widely sold? A．They invented too many details. B．They could become emotionally risky. C．They replied in a back-and-forth mode. D．They failed to enable people to get closure. 35．(2.5分)What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Technical Challenges in Recreating Voices with AI. B．The Key to AI Comforting the Deceased Loved Ones. C．A New Entertainment: Chatting with Virtual Relatives. D．Comforting or Harmful: The Double Edge of AI Ghosts. （本题12.5分）Museums, once quiet places filled with history, are now full of digital excitement. By using machine learning and advanced algorithms (算法), these institutions are creating personalized visitor journeys, protecting delicate collections, and revealing hidden stories. 36(2.5分) Smart recommendation engines analyze data such as exhibit popularity and visitors’ past behavior to suggest specific exhibits and events, making each visit unique and surprising. What’s more, AI‑driven virtual guides are serving visitors instead of traditional guides. 37(2.5分) Beyond visitor interaction, AI plays a crucial role in preserving priceless artworks. 38(2.5分) AI can help identify the slightest signs of decay, such as cracks or discoloration, which are often invisible to the human eye. This early warning makes timely repair work possible. Moreover, by predicting future decay patterns, AI helps museums take preventive measures and improve preservation strategies. AI also significantly enhances the educational value of museums, particularly for children and families. It designs learning experiences matching different age groups and learning habits. 39(2.5分) This adaptability ensures that complex historical concepts become accessible and engaging for young minds. Looking ahead, the rapid advancement of AI promises both exciting possibilities and ethical (伦理的) challenges.

Evolving from the discovery that using stone needles to prick specific points on the surface of the body could relieve pain and symptoms, acupuncture has become an integral part of traditional Chinese medicine, in line 57(1.5分) the philosophy that promotes the harmonious coexistence of humans with nature. According to Records of the Grand Historian, 58(1.5分) (write) by Sima Qian about 2,100 years ago, Bian Que, a 59(1.5分) (high) skilled physician during the Warring States Period, was famous for 60(1.5分) (save) a prince from “death” by using needles to stimulate the Baihui acupoint on the head of the unconscious man. Li Ming, a 41-year-old 61(1.5分) works in media, says that acupuncture really helped treat the dry eyes she had been suffering from since 2009. After trying many other ways, a friend suggested she turn to 62(1.5分) doctor who excelled in treating the condition with acupuncture. For years, despite the clear therapeutic effects of acupuncture in treating many 63(1.5分) (disease), there were few convincing studies that explained 64(1.5分) acupoint stimulation worked, or what meridians were anatomically speaking, so the technique always seemed somewhat 65(1.5分) (mystery). 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，你的美国笔友Johnson给你发来邮件，询问你最钦佩的科学家是谁。请你用英语回复一封邮件，内容包括: 1. 你最钦佩的科学家的简介并阐述钦佩原因; 2. 这位科学家对你的影响。 注意 1. 词数80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Johnson, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best regards Li Hua 六、书面表达 67．（本题25分）阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 For years, I had been using delicate experimental tools and advanced lab materials to bring complex scientific concepts to life for my students. Nothing made me happier than seeing their eyes light up during these interactive and engaging activities. So I had never imagined that waste items would become our most valuable teaching resources, and that shortage would become the source of our greatest inspiration. Last year, our school was hit by severe budget cuts, which meant many resources for science activities were no longer available. As a teacher who had always relied on vivid experiments to make science fun, I felt extremely frustrated and discouraged. How could I keep my students interested and engaged without the well-equipped lab and expensive materials that had served us so well before? I was at a loss, worrying that my science classes would become boring and ineffective, and that my students would lose their passion for exploring the world through experiments. Just as I was struggling with this problem, my students surprised me in the most unexpected way. When we started our unit on simple machines, something amazing happened. Jamie, a ten-year-old boy full of curiosity, brought in some old bicycle parts from his garage. He said they could be used to make wheels and levers (控制杆). Following his example, Maya shared cardboard boxes that her family had kept for later use. One by one, other students also brought in recycled items: plastic bottles, string, used cans, and even small pieces of wood. By the end of the week, we had transformed the corner of our classroom into an entire “invention lab” using recycled materials and student contributions. At first, I doubted whether these simple, everyday objects could support meaningful learning. However, it turned out the learning that happened in that makeshift (临时的) lab exceeded anything we had accomplished with expensive commercial kits. 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。 In this makeshift lab, students worked with amazing enthusiasm. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the semester, we held a small exhibition for other classes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
