阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The Riverside City Museum opens its doors after dark once a month through a program called “Night at the Museum.” Unlike ordinary visits, it lets visitors explore the galleries when the building is otherwise closed to the public. The program began three years ago and has since drawn more than ten thousand visitors.
On the first Friday of every month, the museum stays open from 6:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Each month carries a different theme. In August, a guide leads a tour of ancient bronze art; in September, visitors can examine a collection of old navigation tools used by early sailors. The themes are chosen to match school lessons, so teachers often bring small groups.
Beyond the exhibits, the night offers hands-on activities. Visitors may make rubbings of carved patterns, and a reading corner invites children to listen as volunteers tell folk tales. A small cafe serves light snacks and warm drinks, while a pop-up shop sells postcards and craft kits.
Admission must be booked online at least one day before the event. General tickets cost 45 yuan, while students with valid ID pay 25 yuan. Children under six enter free, but walk-in tickets are never sold on event nights. Flash photography is forbidden throughout the halls, and visitors under twelve must leave with a guardian by 9:30 p.m. Late arrivals may still enter before 9:00 p.m. at the main gate.
1. What is the main feature that makes “Night at the Museum” different from a normal visit?
A. It provides guided tours for school groups on every weekday.
B. It offers free entry to all visitors who are under the age of twelve.
C. It gives visitors a chance to see the collections outside normal opening hours.
D. It allows guests to buy walk-in tickets at the gate on event nights.
2. How much should a student with a valid ID and a five-year-old child pay together?
A. 25 yuan B. 45 yuan C. 70 yuan D. 90 yuan
3. What special activity is offered to visitors in September?
A. A guided tour of ancient bronze art.
B. A chance to examine old navigation tools used by early sailors.
C. A hands-on class in making postcards and craft kits.
D. A folk-tale reading corner for adult visitors.

When Grandpa took the old clock from the shelf, it had not ticked for twenty years. “We will bring it back to life,” he said. I was a restless fourteen-year-old, and at first I did not believe him.
Grandpa spread a white cloth on the kitchen table and opened the wooden case with a small tool. Inside lay gears, springs, and a quiet pendulum. He placed a pair of tweezers in my hand. “Patience,” he told me, “is the best tool a person can have.” He explained that every wheel had a job, and none could hurry the others.
We worked side by side every evening that summer. I learned to oil the tiny parts and to count the teeth of each wheel. My own impatience often fought his calm, but the work slowly taught me to slow down. One day a small screw fell to the floor and vanished. Grandpa only smiled. “Lost things return when you stop chasing them,” he said — and the next day we found it under the rug.
Slowly the clock came back to life. One warm night the pendulum swung, then stopped. For a moment I feared it would never move again, but his hands stayed steady as Grandpa turned a single spring. Tick. Tock. The sound filled the kitchen like a heartbeat.
On my birthday the clock rang eight clear notes. Grandpa laid his worn hand over mine. “You did not merely fix a machine,” he said. “You learned to wait for what truly matters.”
Now the clock ticks above my desk. It is a quiet reminder that some things are worth the slow hours we give them.
4. The word “restless” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to:
A. unable to keep still B. calm and peaceful
C. full of deep thought D. eager to learn new things
5. What happened to the tiny screw during the work?
A. The author picked it up and kept it in his pocket.
B. Grandpa quietly threw it away and said nothing about it.
C. It slipped to the floor, was lost for a time, and turned up the next day.
D. It rolled under the case and damaged the wooden frame.
6. What can we infer about Grandpa from his words and actions?
A. He was a strict man who rarely spoke to other people.
B. He cared little whether the clock was ever repaired.
C. He was a patient person who taught through calm example.
D. He believed in forcing others to follow his own pace.
7. What is the main message the author wants to share?
A. Old clocks are the most valuable things to collect at home.
B. Learning to wait helps us value what truly matters.
C. Repairing machines requires a special natural gift.
D. Grandparents should teach every child a manual skill.
C
Have you ever obeyed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant to replace a word or restructure a sentence? Before the appearance of digital tools, you’d probably have turned to a dictionary for the same assistance.
Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view. While AI assistants produce phrases and statements so writers don’t have to think them up, dictionaries provide us with the knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive and potentially infinite (无穷的) ways. They place choice and authority literally in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world.
The abundance of digital writing assistants gives greater urgency to debates about what a dictionary should be. In 1946, George Orwell described good writing as “picking out words for the sake of their meaning,” a practice that dictionaries facilitate while digital writing programs stifle. Writers consulting a dictionary make a choice, while writers guided by an app have their choices made for them. The digital-native approach delivers hands-off, derivative (衍生的) communication. The other requires leafing through pages without knowing exactly where you’ll end up. Without dictionaries to provide us with a guide to English’s potential, writing that way is nearly impossible.
Our ability to express ourselves is critical — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language. I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part.
As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves.
8. What might be a distinct feature of dictionaries according to the author?
A. They promise fail-safe phrases.
B. They possess academic authority.
C. They facilitate creative writing.
D. They provide ready-made expressions.
9. What does the underlined word “stifle” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Favor. B. Revise.
C. Observe. D. Discourage.
10. Why does the author mention “eaves trough” and “serviette” in paragraph 4?
A. To show how AI aids us in expressing.
B. To indicate the weakness of dictionaries.
C. To celebrate the diversity of Canadian English.
D. To illustrate how language use affects identity.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why Keep Your Dictionary?
B. How to Deal with Digital Writing?
C. Who Uses Writing Assistants?
D. What to Expect from Dictionaries?
D
In an attempt to explore unknown environments, a Chinese team created an octopus (章鱼)-inspired flexible robotic arm capable of sensing and controlling objects in limited spaces and underwater.
According to the study published in the latest edition of Science Robotics, the robot allowed blindfolded human operators to guide its arm, using suckers (吸盘) to pick up various objects, including a toy shark and a smooth metal ball, via a single-finger glove.
This new invention created by a team of researchers, led by Wen Li from Beihang University, was inspired by the octopus, which moves its soft arms to catch its games with sensitive suckers.
A simple strategy like this can be used as a model for robotic grasping, controllable with a few inputs, as well as a highly deformable arm with sensing capabilities.
Wen’s team fixed electronics and circuits into the robots while maintaining their deformability. The researchers presented a stretchable electronics-integrated soft octopus arm with 16 air-driven devices and multiple degrees of freedom.
The robot’s stretchable, liquid-metal-based electronic circuit can stand super stretching force to perform tasks autonomously in a limited environment, findings from the study showed.
The soft arm with two rows of sensory sucking cups that connect with the wearer’s finger can perform a reaching-grasping-returning motion across a range of up to 1.5 times its original arm length, similar to the biological counterpart (对应方), the study revealed.
“This robotic model provides new prospects and development ideas for the future interactive applications of flexible robots, including medical robots, seabed exploration robots, and so on,” said the expert.
12. What inspired the invention of the robotic arm according to the passage?
A. The limited spaces underwater.
B. The special biological structure of the octopus.
C. The desire to explore the living environment of octopus.
D. The team work of the researchers from Beihang University.
13. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “deformable” in paragraph 4?
A. Powerful. B. Changeable. C. Steady. D. Active.
14. Which device is integrated into the robot?
A. Electronic sensors B. Suckers of octopuses. C. Plastic circuits. D. Arms of octopuses.
15. What do the experts imply in the last paragraph?
A. Octopus is a very magic underwater creature.
B. Creativity plays a very important part in science.
C. The unknown world offers possibility for innovation.
D. One invention can bring about a chain reaction of breakthroughs.

Our teacher had asked us to make an art project showing how plants eat, “I can’t believe we only have two nights to finish it,” Noah said with a sigh. “I have no idea how I’ll get mine done.”
I didn’t say anything. Not because I was nervous—I wasn’t nervous at all. 1 love art projects! In fact, I was so relaxed that I didn’t work on the project at all on Monday night. I planned to start the minute I got home from baseball practice on Tuesday. But there was just one thing.
I forgot baseball would run later than usual because it was the day of Baseball Buddies, which happens every month, and it’s a chance for us older students to practise baseball with the adorable younger kids. The second I got home, I threw the entire craft box (手工盒) onto the kitchen table, took out my “How Plants Eat” paper, and started to work. But just then, the telephone rang.
It was my friend Ollie, who said his grandmother Abuela had just made cookies and wanted to know if I’d come help decorate them. I love decorating cookies, and I love, love, love Abucla’s world-famous Thanksgiving cookies that only happen once a year!
I had no choice. I had to go. Ollie and I put all the star cookies with red jam filling in one group, and all the snowflakes with white cream-cheese filling in another. It was 7 o'clock when I finally got home.1 planned to work on my project right after we ate. But then another interruption hit me.

When Grandpa took the old clock from the shelf, it had not ticked for twenty years. “We will bring it back to life,” he said. I was a restless fourteen-year-old, and at first I did not believe him.
Grandpa spread a white cloth on the kitchen table and opened the wooden case with a small tool. Inside lay gears, springs, and a quiet pendulum. He placed a pair of tweezers in my hand. “Patience,” he told me, “is the best tool a person can have.” He explained that every wheel had a job, and none could hurry the others.
We worked side by side every evening that summer. I learned to oil the tiny parts and to count the teeth of each wheel. My own impatience often fought his calm, but the work slowly taught me to slow down. One day a small screw fell to the floor and vanished. Grandpa only smiled. “Lost things return when you stop chasing them,” he said — and the next day we found it under the rug.
Slowly the clock came back to life. One warm night the pendulum swung, then stopped. For a moment I feared it would never move again, but his hands stayed steady as Grandpa turned a single spring. Tick. Tock. The sound filled the kitchen like a heartbeat.
On my birthday the clock rang eight clear notes. Grandpa laid his worn hand over mine. “You did not merely fix a machine,” he said. “You learned to wait for what truly matters.”
Now the clock ticks above my desk. It is a quiet reminder that some things are worth the slow hours we give them.

Have you ever obeyed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant to replace a word or restructure a sentence? Before the appearance of digital tools, you’d probably have turned to a dictionary for the same assistance.
Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view. While AI assistants produce phrases and statements so writers don’t have to think them up, dictionaries provide us with the knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive and potentially infinite (无穷的) ways. They place choice and authority literally in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world.
The abundance of digital writing assistants gives greater urgency to debates about what a dictionary should be. In 1946, George Orwell described good writing as “picking out words for the sake of their meaning,” a practice that dictionaries facilitate while digital writing programs stifle. Writers consulting a dictionary make a choice, while writers guided by an app have their choices made for them. The digital-native approach delivers hands-off, derivative (衍生的) communication. The other requires leafing through pages without knowing exactly where you’ll end up. Without dictionaries to provide us with a guide to English’s potential, writing that way is nearly impossible.
Our ability to express ourselves is critical — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language. I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part.
As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves.
8. What might be a distinct feature of dictionaries according to the author?
A. They promise fail-safe phrases.
B. They possess academic authority.
C. They facilitate creative writing.
D. They provide ready-made expressions.
9. What does the underlined word “stifle” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Favor. B. Revise.
C. Observe. D. Discourage.
10. Why does the author mention “eaves trough” and “serviette” in paragraph 4?
A. To show how AI aids us in expressing.
B. To indicate the weakness of dictionaries.
C. To celebrate the diversity of Canadian English.
D. To illustrate how language use affects identity.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why Keep Your Dictionary?
B. How to Deal with Digital Writing?
C. Who Uses Writing Assistants?
D. What to Expect from Dictionaries?
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A
【解析】

Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language.(我们表达自我的能力至关重要——它帮助我们定义自己是谁。词典有助于我们实现这一目标:它们通过语言将我们独特的思维方式进行分类)”点明观点:表达自我的能力帮助我们定义自身身份,字典能帮我们保留独有的语言表达。下文“I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part.(我是加拿大人;我对祖国的自豪感因一些小小的加拿大式词汇而得到增强,比如“檐沟”或“餐巾纸”,这些词汇在词典中有详细记载,但在大多数情况下,人工智能聊天机器人很少使用它们)”作者举这两个加拿大特有的词汇,是为了说明:这类特有语言能增强本土身份认同感,即语言使用会影响个人/群体身份。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合最后一段“As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves.(随着数字写作深入我们的生活和思维,我们对词典的需求比以往任何时候都更加迫切。放弃词典而转向机械化写作,将同等程度地削弱我们建立集体认同的能力和表达自我的能力)”可知,全文对比数字写作助手和字典,层层论述:在数字写作普及的当下,字典对保留写作原创性、塑造身份认同有不可替代的作用,结尾点明我们比以往更需要字典。由此可知,A项“为什么要保留字典?”适合作本文标题。故选A。
D
In an attempt to explore unknown environments, a Chinese team created an octopus (章鱼)-inspired flexible robotic arm capable of sensing and controlling objects in limited spaces and underwater.
According to the study published in the latest edition of Science Robotics, the robot allowed blindfolded human operators to guide its arm, using suckers (吸盘) to pick up various objects, including a toy shark and a smooth metal ball, via a single-finger glove.
This new invention created by a team of researchers, led by Wen Li from Beihang University, was inspired by the octopus, which moves its soft arms to catch its games with sensitive suckers.
A simple strategy like this can be used as a model for robotic grasping, controllable with a few inputs, as well as a highly deformable arm with sensing capabilities.
Wen’s team fixed electronics and circuits into the robots while maintaining their deformability. The researchers presented a stretchable electronics-integrated soft octopus arm with 16 air-driven devices and multiple degrees of freedom.
The robot’s stretchable, liquid-metal-based electronic circuit can stand super stretching force to perform tasks autonomously in a limited environment, findings from the study showed.
The soft arm with two rows of sensory sucking cups that connect with the wearer’s finger can perform a reaching-grasping-returning motion across a range of up to 1.5 times its original arm length, similar to the biological counterpart (对应方), the study revealed.
“This robotic model provides new prospects and development ideas for the future interactive applications of flexible robots, including medical robots, seabed exploration robots, and so on,” said the expert.
12. What inspired the invention of the robotic arm according to the passage?
A. The limited spaces underwater.
B. The special biological structure of the octopus.
C. The desire to explore the living environment of octopus.
D. The team work of the researchers from Beihang University.
13. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “deformable” in paragraph 4?
A. Powerful. B. Changeable. C. Steady. D. Active.
14. Which device is integrated into the robot?
A. Electronic sensors B. Suckers of octopuses. C. Plastic circuits. D. Arms of octopuses.
15. What do the experts imply in the last paragraph?
A. Octopus is a very magic underwater creature.
B. Creativity plays a very important part in science.
C. The unknown world offers possibility for innovation.
D. One invention can bring about a chain reaction of breakthroughs.

考查非谓语动词。句意:被称为中国首位机器人博士生的“学霸01”,自其在上海戏剧学院注册以来就吸引了大量关注。句子已有谓语动词“has drawn”,此处作后置定语;“Xueba 01”与“know”之间是被动关系,“be known as”为固定搭配,意为“被称为……”,故用过去分词“known”。故填known。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意:被称为中国首位机器人博士生的“学霸01”,自其在上海戏剧学院注册以来就吸引了大量关注。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语since its registration at the Shanghai Theatre Academy (STA)可知,此处应为现在完成时,主语“Xueba 01”为第三人称单数,所以谓语动词应为has drawn。故填has drawn。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:作为一个“具身人工智能”,这个机器人通过物理交互学习艺术创作。此处表示泛指“一个具身人工智能”,且“embodied”是以元音音素开头的单词,所以此处应为不定冠词an。故填an。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:作为一个“具身人工智能”,这个机器人通过物理交互学习艺术创作。此处为名词作宾语,interact的名词为interaction意为“交互”,为不可数名词。故填interaction。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它灵活的硅胶皮肤使它能够做出类似人类的面部表情和手势。此处为固定短语allow sb to do sth,意为“允许某人做某事”,所以此处为动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to make。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:它既使用语言又使用眼神交流,这超出了我的预期。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句,从句缺少主语,指代前面整个句子,所以使用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:它配备了先进的技术,使其能够像人类一样进行交流和表达情感。此处为固定短语be equipped with意为“配备”。故填with。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:它配备了先进的技术,使其能够像人类一样进行交流和表达情感。此处为名词作宾语,emotion意为“情感”为可数名词,此处表示“多种情感”,所以使用名词复数形式。故填emotions。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它将与人类学生在工作坊、实验室研究和创意项目中合作,帮助探索新型数字艺术。此处作伴随状语,help和逻辑主语It为主动关系,所以为现在分词形式。故填helping。
【45题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:在未来,它将为数字艺术领域做出更大的贡献,我们都期待着看到它在学院的精彩表现。此处为形容词作定语修饰名词contributions,根据空前much以及句意可知,此处表示“更大的”,所以使用形容词比较级。故填greater。

To achieve my dream of being a scientist, I must spare no effort to be admitted into a famous university. I will major in geology so that I can not only gain professional knowledge but also exchange ideas with top experts there. Besides, I will catch every chance to gain first-hand experience.

When my little brother Tom was four, Mom said something like “I’d give anything to have a few more hours in the day.” And Tom said, “Why don’t we buy a bigger clock?” If time worked that way, I could have used an extra-big clock last week!
Our teacher had asked us to make an art project showing how plants eat, “I can’t believe we only have two nights to finish it,” Noah said with a sigh. “I have no idea how I’ll get mine done.”
I didn’t say anything. Not because I was nervous—I wasn’t nervous at all. 1 love art projects! In fact, I was so relaxed that I didn’t work on the project at all on Monday night. I planned to start the minute I got home from baseball practice on Tuesday. But there was just one thing.
I forgot baseball would run later than usual because it was the day of Baseball Buddies, which happens every month, and it’s a chance for us older students to practise baseball with the adorable younger kids. The second I got home, I threw the entire craft box (手工盒) onto the kitchen table, took out my “How Plants Eat” paper, and started to work. But just then, the telephone rang.
It was my friend Ollie, who said his grandmother Abuela had just made cookies and wanted to know if I’d come help decorate them. I love decorating cookies, and I love, love, love Abucla’s world-famous Thanksgiving cookies that only happen once a year!
I had no choice. I had to go. Ollie and I put all the star cookies with red jam filling in one group, and all the snowflakes with white cream-cheese filling in another. It was 7 o'clock when I finally got home.1 planned to work on my project right after we ate. But then another interruption hit me.

Just as I was about to start, Dad said, “Joanna, it’s your turn to do the dishes.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Looking at the big “F” on my paper, I started to reflect on what I had done these days.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Just as I was about to start, Dad said, “Joanna, it’s your turn to do the dishes.” What Dad said was a hammer blow to me, leaving me into deeper anxiety. However, that was one of our family rules, so I had to do the dishes reluctantly. The clinking of dishes were disquieting sounds from hell to me, reminding me that the clock was ticking second by second. After I threw the last dish into the cabinet, I rushed into my bedroom, only to find that the hour hand had moved past ten. Without much time left, I finished the assignment in a hurry. The next day, I handed in it nervously.
Looking at the big “F” on my paper, I started to reflect on what I had done these days. My life seemed in a mess these days, arising from my loose attitude and chaotic schedule. My energy was segmented and occupied by some trivial matters which had nothing to do with my project. Out of guilt, I explained to my teacher and promised this would never happen again. After this experience, I eventually comprehended the importance of time, and began to arrange for my schedule with caution. With confidence, I was firmly convinced that I could get a satisfying score in the next assignment.
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了合理安排时间的重要性。老师给作者所在的班级布置了一项任务,作者只有两个晚上的时间来完成它,但她认为自己可以很快完成这项任务,所以第一天晚上根本没有做这个任务。她本打算第二天晚上完成,但却又因为去参加棒球训练和去朋友家装饰饼干耽误了时间。当作者返回家中,正打算完成这项任务时,又被打断了。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“就在我要开始的时候,爸爸说:“乔安娜,轮到你洗碗了。””可知,第一段可描写作者因为洗碗又耽误了时间及作者的感受。
②由第二段首句内容“看着我纸张上的大大的“F”,我开始反思我这些天所做的事情。”可知,第二段可描写作者对自己浪费时间的行为的反思及反思后的行动。
2.续写线索:开始洗碗——感到焦虑——洗碗结束——完成作业——反思过去——明白时间的重要性——向老师道歉——重拾信心
