20.(1.5分)What does the speaker advise city officials to do in the end?
A.Build more roads in cities.
B.Provide more leisure facilities.
C.Encourage using public transport.
【答案】18.C 19.C 20.C
【原文】Can you imagine living in a city without roads on the surface in the future? The idea of building roads underground is now inspiring city planners and engineers. Moving roads below the surface can free up space for parks and other public facilities, improving the environment. Not only that, it could reduce traffic jams above ground, and who doesn’t want to be free from noise pollution? Underground roads could also make self-driving cars more popular, which are often more energy-efficient. But if driverless cars become more attractive than public transport, it could actually make traffic worse, because cars take up more space than trains and buses. That’s not the only disadvantage that may come with a motorized world beneath our feet. The construction and repair of underground facilities are energy-intensive processes. Dreams of roadless, car-free cities bring both excitement and doubt. But getting more people to use public transport rather than private vehicles would be more worth our time and resources. This should be the main focus for city officials now.

(本题10分)Jessica Matthews is an inventor who uses technology to do social good (好事). Born in the United States to Nigerian parents, Jessica grew up experiencing two different cultures. This unique background inspired her to think about global challenges in new ways.
At just 19 years old, while studying mechanical engineering in college, Jessica and her classmates brainstormed a groundbreaking idea: a soccer ball that could produce electricity. The idea for this invention came during a family trip to the countryside of Nigeria, where she saw firsthand how families struggled without regular electricity. The Soccket Ball (发电足球), a name combining “soccer” and “socket”, looks like any other soccer ball, but it has a special feature. As you play with it, the ball captures the energy from being kicked and rolled. After a game, this energy can power small devices like LED lights. For many families without regular electricity, this invention can make a big difference.
Despite gaining strong support from global organizations and media attention, the product faced unexpected difficulties after its launch. Many disappointed users reported that the balls broke or stopped working within a few months, failing to live up to the promised three years of useful life. The problems led to criticism from users and negative headlines, putting pressure on Uncharted Play, the company Jessica founded. The team openly admitted that they hadn’t expected the equipment to be so damaged by rough play in the country and promised to revise the design with stronger materials and improved internal parts.
Despite these setbacks, Jessica and her team at Uncharted Play continued to work on energy solutions. Their latest invention, a portable jump rope (便携式跳绳) that generates electricity, builds on the Soccket’s success with a more durable, lightweight design. Designed for both children and adults, the jump rope can power small devices like phones or flashlights, expanding the reach of their mission. Jessica’s key goal remains unchanged: to provide clean renewable energy to people around the world, where electricity shortage limits education, health, and economic opportunities. Her journey proves that even simple, fun activities — like playing soccer or jumping rope — can be transformed into powerful tools to address pressing global affairs.

(本题10分)Researchers found that they could accurately (准确地) predict how close two people were based only on their brain activity in response to a series of unfamiliar video clips. Put simply: You and your best friends really do think alike. According to a Dartmouth study finding, friends have similar neural (神经的) responses to real-world stimuli (刺激) and these similarities can be used to predict who your friends are. The study reveals that friends have the most similar neural activity patterns, followed by friends-of-friends who, in turn, have more similar neural activity than people three degrees removed (friends-of-friends-of-friends).
Published in Nature Communications, the study is the first of its kind to examine the connections between the neural reaction of people within a real-world social network. “Neural responses to active, naturalistic stimuli, like videos, can give us a window into people’s unlimited, unplanned thought processes as they unfold. Our results suggest that friends process the world around them in exceptionally similar ways,” says lead author Carolyn Parkinson.
The study analyzed the friendships or social ties within a group of 280 graduate students. The researchers estimated the social distance between pairs of individuals based on mutually (相互地) reported social ties. Forty-two of the students were asked to watch a range of videos while their neural activity was recorded in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. The videos covered a range of topics and genres, including politics, science, comedy and music videos, for which a range of responses was expected. Each participant watched the same videos in the same order, with the same instructions. The researchers then compared the neural responses in pairs across the set of students to determine if pairs of students who were friends had more similar brain activity than pairs further removed from each other in their social network.
The findings revealed that neural response similarity was strongest among friends, and this pattern appeared across brain regions involved in emotional responding and high-level reasoning. Even when the researchers controlled variables (变量), including left-handedness or right-handedness, age, gender, race, and nationality, the analogy (类比) in neural activity among friends was still evident. The team also found that fMRI response similarities could be used to predict not only if a pair were friends but also the social distance between the two.

(本题15分)People who live in cities are starting to get a lot more information to help plan their daily lives. Smarter City systems are telling residents about traffic jams, the time the next bus will arrive, the 41 for flooding, and other useful updates.
This is happening because cities are 42 the streams of information from sensors to manage urban systems better. The number of 43 like these sensors will reach 50 billion by 2020. Cities are complex systems of systems that have always 44 vast amounts of information. Information flowing in from many small subsystems, such as local flood catch-basins, is integrated with other 45 to provide guidance on the overall operation of a city. This integrated data, from such systems of systems, is then given to city administrators in useful formats that can change 46 for the better.
47 , in many cities, the coming population growth will challenge even the most skilled city managers, and the old infrastructure of many such cities is not equipped with the ability to gather the data needed to 48 city operations. Despite the seeming 49 of data gathering infrastructure, another option exists, considering the shift from desktop computing to mobile devices and tablets.
Mobile technology has 50 dramatically in the past decade to the point where a lightweight smartphone may gather all kinds of data, such as its location, local temperature and background noise levels. Furthermore, in the near future, additional 51 are easily imagined, where sensors will be able to detect chemical pollution, local lighting conditions, vibration levels, and more.
This will enable a new era where citizens are able to participate in city management, where the very data required to improve city operations is in part 52 provided by its citizens via smartphone apps.
It also raises complex 53 issues that must be dealt with as we face this new era, but similarly provides opportunities for the citizens to play an active role in the improvement of their 54 , not only in the reporting of critical environmental and transportation data, but in taking an active role in solving the problems they have encountered.
It will be a cooperative and informed effort, with information technology enabling social transformation, to 55 the growing challenges facing our cities in the coming decades.

六、书面表达
67.(本题25分)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Cynthia was a young girl, a screening of Star Wars changed her life. 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

(本题10分)Jessica Matthews is an inventor who uses technology to do social good (好事). Born in the United States to Nigerian parents, Jessica grew up experiencing two different cultures. This unique background inspired her to think about global challenges in new ways.
At just 19 years old, while studying mechanical engineering in college, Jessica and her classmates brainstormed a groundbreaking idea: a soccer ball that could produce electricity. The idea for this invention came during a family trip to the countryside of Nigeria, where she saw firsthand how families struggled without regular electricity. The Soccket Ball (发电足球), a name combining “soccer” and “socket”, looks like any other soccer ball, but it has a special feature. As you play with it, the ball captures the energy from being kicked and rolled. After a game, this energy can power small devices like LED lights. For many families without regular electricity, this invention can make a big difference.
Despite gaining strong support from global organizations and media attention, the product faced unexpected difficulties after its launch. Many disappointed users reported that the balls broke or stopped working within a few months, failing to live up to the promised three years of useful life. The problems led to criticism from users and negative headlines, putting pressure on Uncharted Play, the company Jessica founded. The team openly admitted that they hadn’t expected the equipment to be so damaged by rough play in the country and promised to revise the design with stronger materials and improved internal parts.
Despite these setbacks, Jessica and her team at Uncharted Play continued to work on energy solutions. Their latest invention, a portable jump rope (便携式跳绳) that generates electricity, builds on the Soccket’s success with a more durable, lightweight design. Designed for both children and adults, the jump rope can power small devices like phones or flashlights, expanding the reach of their mission. Jessica’s key goal remains unchanged: to provide clean renewable energy to people around the world, where electricity shortage limits education, health, and economic opportunities. Her journey proves that even simple, fun activities — like playing soccer or jumping rope — can be transformed into powerful tools to address pressing global affairs.
24.(2.5分)What inspired Jessica to think about global challenges in new ways?
A.Her trip to America with her family. B.Her mechanical engineering studies.

(本题10分)Innovations in technology and in foreign trade are closely interconnected and mutually reinforcing. On the one hand, technological innovation is a key force in breaking through the limits of traditional economic growth and driving the transformation of foreign trade dynamics. As a core element in the development of new quality productive forces (新质生产力), technological innovations can foster new forms, models and momentum in foreign trade.
On the other hand, innovations in foreign trade provide application scenarios for technological breakthroughs. The application of major scientific and technological achievements in industries can trigger (激发)a significant transformation in productivity. Therefore, it is necessary to accelerate (加速)the deep integration of technological innovation with foreign trade innovation.
Developing new advantages in China’s international economic cooperation relies fundamentally on the vigorous advancement of new quality productive forces. First, it is essential to firmly anchor technological innovation as the core element and strengthen institutional support for emerging (新兴的)fields and future industries. A sound legal and market environment must be created to protect and encourage innovation. Through technological innovation, the country can continuously empower industrial upgrading and foster the robust growth of new foreign trade models.
Second, it is crucial to focus on building a modern industrial system as the main direction of future efforts. By promoting deep integration between innovation and industries, cutting-edge technologies can be applied to the key links of supply chains, transforming and upgrading traditional trade approaches while nurturing and expanding new business forms in foreign trade.
Finally, China needs to uphold high-standard opening-up, steadily advance institutional opening-up, and engage in international economic cooperation and scientific and technological co-operation at a higher level. This will broaden international circulation and create stronger momentum for innovation-driven foreign trade growth.
Efforts should be made to coordinate moves to strengthen the domestic market and build China into a leading trading power. Taking the initiative to open China’s door wider and steadily advance institutional opening-up will drive reform and foster development, enabling new breakthroughs in the dual circulation of domestic and international markets.
China’s development of new energy vehicles has set a strong example.

(本题10分)Researchers found that they could accurately (准确地) predict how close two people were based only on their brain activity in response to a series of unfamiliar video clips. Put simply: You and your best friends really do think alike. According to a Dartmouth study finding, friends have similar neural (神经的) responses to real-world stimuli (刺激) and these similarities can be used to predict who your friends are. The study reveals that friends have the most similar neural activity patterns, followed by friends-of-friends who, in turn, have more similar neural activity than people three degrees removed (friends-of-friends-of-friends).
Published in Nature Communications, the study is the first of its kind to examine the connections between the neural reaction of people within a real-world social network. “Neural responses to active, naturalistic stimuli, like videos, can give us a window into people’s unlimited, unplanned thought processes as they unfold. Our results suggest that friends process the world around them in exceptionally similar ways,” says lead author Carolyn Parkinson.
The study analyzed the friendships or social ties within a group of 280 graduate students. The researchers estimated the social distance between pairs of individuals based on mutually (相互地) reported social ties. Forty-two of the students were asked to watch a range of videos while their neural activity was recorded in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. The videos covered a range of topics and genres, including politics, science, comedy and music videos, for which a range of responses was expected. Each participant watched the same videos in the same order, with the same instructions. The researchers then compared the neural responses in pairs across the set of students to determine if pairs of students who were friends had more similar brain activity than pairs further removed from each other in their social network.
The findings revealed that neural response similarity was strongest among friends, and this pattern appeared across brain regions involved in emotional responding and high-level reasoning. Even when the researchers controlled variables (变量), including left-handedness or right-handedness, age, gender, race, and nationality, the analogy (类比) in neural activity among friends was still evident. The team also found that fMRI response similarities could be used to predict not only if a pair were friends but also the social distance between the two.
32.(2.5分)What can we learn about the study mentioned in the text?
A.It involved more than 200 students watching various videos.
B.It required a professional device to analyze participants’ conversation.
C.It has not gained acceptance from the academic world yet.
D.It is original and checks people’s neural responses.
33.(2.5分)What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The process of the study. B.The design of the study.
C.The findings of the study. D.The breakthrough of the study.
34.(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude towards the findings of the study?
A.Doubtful. B.Supportive. C.Objective. D.Indifferent.
35.(2.5分)What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Neural Responses Shape Social Bonds.
B.How Vidos Connect People’s Minds.
C.The Science Behind Social Networks.
D.Friendship Seen Through Neural Patterns.

(本题15分)People who live in cities are starting to get a lot more information to help plan their daily lives. Smarter City systems are telling residents about traffic jams, the time the next bus will arrive, the 41 for flooding, and other useful updates.
This is happening because cities are 42 the streams of information from sensors to manage urban systems better. The number of 43 like these sensors will reach 50 billion by 2020. Cities are complex systems of systems that have always 44 vast amounts of information. Information flowing in from many small subsystems, such as local flood catch-basins, is integrated with other 45 to provide guidance on the overall operation of a city. This integrated data, from such systems of systems, is then given to city administrators in useful formats that can change 46 for the better.
47 , in many cities, the coming population growth will challenge even the most skilled city managers, and the old infrastructure of many such cities is not equipped with the ability to gather the data needed to 48 city operations. Despite the seeming 49 of data gathering infrastructure, another option exists, considering the shift from desktop computing to mobile devices and tablets.
Mobile technology has 50 dramatically in the past decade to the point where a lightweight smartphone may gather all kinds of data, such as its location, local temperature and background noise levels. Furthermore, in the near future, additional 51 are easily imagined, where sensors will be able to detect chemical pollution, local lighting conditions, vibration levels, and more.
This will enable a new era where citizens are able to participate in city management, where the very data required to improve city operations is in part 52 provided by its citizens via smartphone apps.
It also raises complex 53 issues that must be dealt with as we face this new era, but similarly provides opportunities for the citizens to play an active role in the improvement of their 54 , not only in the reporting of critical environmental and transportation data, but in taking an active role in solving the problems they have encountered.

When Cynthia was a young girl, a screening of Star Wars changed her life. 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.
