Students will love exploring while also gaining invaluable experience by designing and conducting experiments. Sunscreen Experiment Kids often don’t enjoy being told they need sunscreen, so showing its power through demonstration can help them see its value. This science fair project uses simple white beads (珠子) that change color when exposed to UV rays (紫外线) so children can compare the effectiveness of different sunscreen products. Start this experiment by applying some of each sunscreen type on paper and placing both pieces of paper in direct sunlight for several hours. Sundial (日晷) Experiment Using a sundial to tell time is a fascinating science activity that helps students gain knowledge of shadows and the movement of sunlight across the sky. Through this hands-on experiment, students gain an opportunity to see how people in previous times knew time without clocks or watches. Start this experiment by asking students to identify an outdoor spot that receives sunlight all day, placing a flat board there, tracing the shadows onto it and noting where the shadows will fall at certain points of the day. Mineral Experiment Students learn to identify rocks and minerals through this simple experiment. They use a plate to test the hardness of various common minerals. They also observe how these minerals form crystals (晶体) and how they break apart differently from others. This lesson helps students understand the characteristics and uses of different minerals. Students can even form “companies” and compete to mine different types of rocks with specific features. 1. What is the main purpose of using beads in the sunscreen experiment? A. To compare the prices of sunscreen. B. To show the effectiveness of sunscreen. C. To analyze the impact of sunscreen on skin. D. To demonstrate chemical reactions in sunscreen. 2. How do students begin the sundial experiment? A. By building a sundial from beginning. B. By comparing different types of sundials. C. By measuring the length of their shadows. D. By identifying a sunny spot and using a flat board. 3. What does the mineral experiment allow students to do? A. Observe crystal formation. B. Learn geological history. C. Sell rocks they mine. D. Form companies. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。文章介绍了几个适合学生做的科学实验。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sunscreen Experiment下的“This science fair project uses simple white beads (珠子) that change color when exposed to UV rays (紫外线) so children can compare the effectiveness of different sunscreen products.(这个科学展览项目使用简单的白色珠子，当暴露在紫外线下时会改变颜色，这样孩子们就可以比较不同防晒产品的效果)”可知，在防晒实验中使用珠子的主要目的是来展示防晒霜的功效。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sundial (日晷) Experiment下的“Start this experiment by asking students to identify an outdoor spot that receives sunlight all day, placing a flat board there, tracing the shadows onto it and noting where the shadows will fall at certain points of the day.(实验开始时，让学生们找出一个整天都能接受阳光的户外地点，在那里放一块平板，在上面画出阴影，并注意到阴影在一天中的特定时间会落在哪里)”可知，学生找一个阳光充足的地方，用一块平板来开始日晷实验。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mineral Experiment下的“They also observe how these minerals form crystals (晶体) and how they break apart differently from others.(他们还观察这些矿物质是如何形成晶体的，以及它们是如何以不同的方式分裂的)”可知，Mineral Experiment允许学生观察晶体形成。故选A项。 B Haley Curfman, 25, of Blackwell, Oklahoma, is a teacher at Blackwell Public School and last year she bought a plain (朴素的) white dress, which she set up a station in her classroom for her students to decorate, encouraging them to go and draw on the dress whenever they had free time. Haley set up a station at a table with the dress and some colored markers so that her students could draw on it, having first seen the idea on Pinterest. After the kids had finished the design, she then surprised them all by wearing the dress to class, sharing pictures of herself in it on Facebook in a post that has since been shared over 200,000 times. For teachers looking to do something similar for their own students, Haley said that she bought the dress from Amazon for less than $20 about six months ago and pre⁃washed the dress before she started the project. She used markers from Walmart. But she said these things can be bought in other places. She said, “To do the project, I set up a station at a table with the dress and markers. It takes anywhere from two weeks to a month to complete as we just work on it here and there when time allows. You'd better give the students enough time so they don’t have to hurry.” “Teachers have been sharing their dresses, T⁃shirts, etc. with me that they've been creating since the 1950s with the same idea. It is amazing, and I love the fact that you are sharing them with me! Thank you all so much for your kindness and support,” she wrote on Facebook. Asked why she came up with the idea, Haley told Scary Mommy, “We don’t have art in our school, so I always try to do little creative projects when possible.” 4. What did Haley use the plain white dress to do? A. To teach her students painting. B. To prepare for her presentation. C. To ask her students to draw on it. D. To help her students with their homework. 5. What do we know about the finished dress? A. It took Haley by surprise. B. It is kept by Haley at home. C. It is the product of a new idea. D. It has enjoyed popularity online. 6. What should a teacher do if he or she wants to follow Haley’s example? A. Buy the same dress online. B. Give the kids enough time. C. Buy the same markers in Walmart. D. Leave the finished work untouched. 7. Why did Haley carry out the project? A. To excite her students’ creativity. B. To show her idea on Pinterest. C. To share it with other teachers. D. To teach her students art. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍美国教师Haley Curfman购置一条纯白色连衣裙，在教室设置创作台让学生在裙子上绘画，完成后她穿上这条裙子，相关帖子在网络广为传播，她也分享了项目细节与开展该活动的原因。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第一段“Haley Curfman, 25, of Blackwell, Oklahoma, is a teacher at Blackwell Public School and last year she bought a plain (朴素的) white dress, which she set up a station in her classroom for her students to decorate, encouraging them to go and draw on the dress whenever they had free time.(25岁的Haley Curfman是俄克拉荷马州布莱克威尔公立学校的一名教师，去年她买了一条朴素的白色连衣裙，在教室里搭建了一个操作台让学生装饰裙子，鼓励学生有空就去裙子上画画。)”，可知Haley用这条白裙子让学生在上面作画。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段“After the kids had finished the design, she then surprised them all by wearing the dress to class, sharing pictures of herself in it on Facebook in a post that has since been shared over 200,000 times.(孩子们完成设计后，她穿着这条裙子去上课，给所有人惊喜，她在脸书上发布了自己穿着这条裙子的照片，这条帖子此后被转发超过20万次。)”可知，这条完成绘画的裙子在网络上受到广泛关注。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段“You’d better give the students enough time so they don't have to hurry.(你最好给学生充足的时间，这样他们就不用赶工。)”可知，想要效仿Haley的老师应该给孩子们充足的时间。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第五段“Asked why she came up with the idea, Haley told Scary Mommy, “We don’t have art in our school, so I always try to do little creative projects when possible.”(当被问及想出这个点子的原因时，Haley告诉Scary Mommy：“我们学校没有美术课，所以只要有机会，我总会尝试开展一些小型创意项目。”)”可知，Haley开展这个项目是为激发学生的创造力。 C Recently, I revisited Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s timeless classic, The Little Prince. Although often categorized as a children’s book, its profound messages about human nature and the modern world are perhaps more relevant to teenagers and adults today than ever before. The story follows a pilot stuck in the Sahara Desert who meets a young prince from a tiny planet. As the prince describes his journey through various planets, he shares his encounters with several “grown-ups,” including a king, a businessman, and a geographer. Each character represents a different human flaw, such as the obsession with power, wealth, or cold facts. Through these interactions, the author criticizes how adults often lose sight of what truly matters in life. One of the most famous lines in the book is: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” This simple yet powerful idea serves as the core of the book. In our fast-paced, digital age, we are often distracted by social media likes, exam grades, and material success. We tend to judge things by their appearance or price tag rather than their true value. The prince’s relationship with his rose and his friendship with the fox remind us that it is the time and care we “waste” on something that makes it important. Reading this book felt like a gentle wake-up call. It challenges the reader to look beyond the surface and reconnect with their imagination. It teaches us that being a “grown-up” shouldn’t mean losing our sense of wonder or our ability to form deep, meaningful connections. In conclusion, The Little Prince is not just a fairy tale; it is a philosophical guide. It encourages us to slow down, look at the stars, and remember that the most beautiful things in life cannot be seen or touched — they must be felt with the heart. 8. What do the grown-ups the prince encounters on his journey have in common? A. They are consumed by things of little true worth B. They offer the prince guidance on life's real meaning C. They represent ideals that modern adults should follow D. They have forgotten how to communicate with children 9. The word “distracted” (Paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to ________. A. motivated to pursue more ambitious targets B. drawn away from what is genuinely important C. confused about one's identity and future goals D. entertained by fast-moving digital content 10. What can be inferred about the author’s attitude toward growing up? A. Adults naturally become wiser as they age B. Imagination is inevitably lost in adulthood C. Maturity does not have to mean losing one's wonder D. Most modern adults have already lost their curiosity 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To encourage readers to rediscover deeper values in life B. To retell The Little Prince for a younger audience C. To analyze Saint-Exupéry’s unique storytelling techniques D. To argue that children's books hold more wisdom than adult fiction 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述作者重读《小王子》的感悟，指出这部常被归类为儿童读物的作品，其关于人性和现代世界的深刻寓意更贴合当下的青少年和成年人，呼吁人们重拾生活中真正重要的价值。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“As the prince describes his journey through various planets, he shares his encounters with several "grown-ups," including a king, a businessman, and a geographer. Each character represents a different human flaw, such as the obsession with power, wealth, or cold facts. Through these interactions, the author criticizes how adults often lose sight of what truly matters in life.(当小王子描述他穿越各个星球的旅程时，他分享了自己与几位“成年人”的相遇，包括一位国王、一位商人以及一位地理学家。每个人物都代表着一种不同的人性缺陷，比如对权力、财富或冰冷事实的痴迷。通过这些互动，作者批判了成年人如何常常忽视生活中真正重要的东西。)”可知，小王子遇到的这些成年人的共同点是他们沉迷于没有真正价值的事物。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“In our fast-paced, digital age, we are often distracted by social media likes, exam grades, and material success. We tend to judge things by their appearance or price tag rather than their true value.(在我们这个快节奏的数字时代，我们经常被社交媒体的点赞、考试成绩和物质成功所distracted。我们倾向于根据事物的外表或价格标签来判断它们，而不是它们的真正价值。)”可知，“distracted”意为“分心、被吸引而偏离真正重要的事物”，与“drawn away from what is genuinely important”意思最接近。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“It teaches us that being a ‘grown-up’ shouldn't mean losing our sense of wonder or our ability to form deep, meaningful connections.(它告诉我们，成为一个“成年人”并不意味着失去我们的好奇心，或者失去建立深厚、有意义的联系的能力。)”可知，作者认为成熟并不一定意味着失去好奇心。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In conclusion, The Little Prince is not just a fairy tale; it is a philosophical guide. It encourages us to slow down, look at the stars, and remember that the most beautiful things in life cannot be seen or touched—they must be felt with the heart.(总之，《小王子》不仅仅是一个童话故事；它是一本哲学指南。它鼓励我们放慢脚步，仰望星空，并记住生活中最美好的事物是看不见、摸不着的——它们必须用心去感受。)”可知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是鼓励读者重新发现生活中更深刻的价值。故选A项。 D For people with severe paralysis (瘫痪), communication can be extremely difficult. Some may still move their eyes, but many cannot speak or use their hands. To address this problem, scientists have been developing brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). In a recent advance, researchers tested a new BCI system that allowed users with paralysis to type more quickly, offering new hope for more natural communication. Earlier BCIs made communication possible, but not efficient. In many cases, users had to move a cursor (光标) across a screen and choose letters one by one. This method worked, yet it was often too slow for normal conversation. Researchers therefore wanted a system that could operate more like everyday typing. In a recent study, a research team tested a new BCI keyboard that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to recognize a user’s intended finger or hand movements. The system linked patterns of brain activity to letters on a standard keyboard. Two people with paralysis took part in the study by attempting to move their fingers, even though no actual movement occurred. One of them reached a typing speed of 22 words per minute, close to the speed of ordinary smartphone texting. The advance matters because communication is not only about producing words, but also about joining a conversation at the right time. A person who types too slowly may struggle to take part naturally in social interaction. Some users can rely on eye-tracking systems, but these are often slower and may not work well for everyone. A faster BCI, therefore, could make communication feel more direct and more natural. Still, the technology is not ready for wide use. The study included only two participants, so further testing is needed. In addition, the device requires surgery to place chips (芯片) in the brain, which brings risks. It also needs to be adjusted before each use. Even so, researchers believe the results show that brain-based typing is moving beyond the laboratory and getting closer to practical communication in everyday life. 12. What was a disadvantage of earlier BCIs? A. They responded too slowly. B. They relied on spoken language. C. They were expensive to produce. D. They required users to move hands. 13. What can be inferred about the new BCI system from paragraph 3? A. It beats smartphone texting in speed. B. It depends on users’ basic hand control. C. It helps patients recover muscle functions. D. It translates mental intentions into text. 14. Why is faster typing considered important? A. It reduces the need for surgery. B. It restores actual finger movements. C. It allows more natural communication. D. It improves the quality of smartphones. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. BCI Systems: From Lab Experiments to Practical Risks B. Brain-based Typing: A Step Towards Natural Communication C. Brain-based Typing: The Future of Smartphone Texting D. BCI Systems: A Promising Breakthrough in Paralysis Recovery 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。科学家研发新型脑机接口（BCI），通过AI捕捉瘫痪患者大脑意念实现快速打字，虽未广泛应用，但为其更自然交流带来新希望。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In many cases, users had to move a cursor (光标) across a screen and choose letters one by one. This method worked, yet it was often too slow for normal conversation.(在很多情况下，用户需要将光标移动到屏幕上，然后逐个选择字母。这种方法虽然可行，但通常在正常对话中速度太慢了)”可知，早期的脑机接口的反应速度太慢了。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In a recent study, a research team tested a new BCI keyboard that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to recognize a user’s intended finger or hand movements. The system linked patterns of brain activity to letters on a standard keyboard.(在最近的一项研究中，一个研究团队测试了一种新型的脑机接口键盘，该键盘利用人工智能（AI）来识别用户想要做出的手指或手部动作。该系统将大脑活动的模式与标准键盘上的字母进行了关联)”可知，新的人机交互系统将思维意图转化为文字。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“A faster BCI, therefore, could make communication feel more direct and more natural.(因此，速度更快的脑机接口技术能够使交流过程显得更加直接和自然)”可知，更快的打字速度被视为重要的一项能力是因为它能促进更自然的交流。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In a recent advance, researchers tested a new BCI system that allowed users with paralysis to type more quickly, offering new hope for more natural communication.(在最近的一项进展中，研究人员测试了一种新的脑机接口系统，该系统能让瘫痪患者更快地进行打字操作，为实现更自然的交流带来了新的希望)”结合文章说明了科学家研发新型脑机接口（BCI），通过AI捕捉瘫痪患者大脑意念实现快速打字，虽未广泛应用，但为其更自然交流带来新希望。可知，B选项“基于大脑的打字：迈向自然交流的一步”最符合文章标题。故选B。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Make Your Dad Happy Everybody wants a healthy relationship with their dad because it is an essential part for a healthy family. ____16____ By focusing on the following ways, you can achieve a happy family relationship.

Otherwise否则；B. Instead相反；C. Therefore因此；D.

One busy day at work, the nonstop rush of customers and the never-ending tasks made her feel completely stressed out. Her head was spinning (眩晕) and she really needed a peaceful place to get herself together. When the break time arrived, she didn’t feel like walking all the way back home. So, she started to wander (闲逛) around a nearby neighborhood. As she walked, her feet seemed to have a mind of their own, and before she knew it, she was standing in front of a house she had never seen before. She stood there for a moment, thinking whether she should go home or stay there. The long walk home seemed tiring, but she was also a bit unsure about staying in this strange place. After some thought, she finally picked up the courage. She took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell. On the other side of the door, Abigail, the owner of the house, answered through her Ring camera. Dara, looking a bit nervous, made an unusual request (请求). “Hi, I work at the Wendy’s nearby. I’m on my break and I don’t want to walk all the way home. Can I just sit here in your yard and eat my lunch?” Abigail was really surprised by this request. Her eyes got wide, and for a second, she didn’t know what to do. But then, instead of being suspicious (怀疑), she decided to be nice. “Sure, come in,” she said warmly, opening the door to offer a welcoming smile. Dara was so happy. As she started to eat her lunch, Abigail got a call and had to leave in a hurry. She told Dara to have her meal there peacefully and just close the door when she left. They hardly exchanged any more words. Before Dara got a chance to thank her, Abigail had left. Dara ate her lunch comfortably in the yard. However, not having the chance to express her thanks to Abigail made Dara feel a little regretful. 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。 Days later, Abigail went to the Wendy’s to buy some food. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From then on, the two kept in touch with each other. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Days later, Abigail went to the Wendy’s to buy some food. Immediately Abigail entered the store, Dara spotted her and came up to greet her cheerfully. She expressed sincere thanks to Abigail for allowing her to rest in the yard on that stressful day. As a way to show gratitude, Dara treated Abigail to dinner. Abigail was deeply moved, saying she was happy to provide Dara with a quiet place to calm down. They had a brief chat, and Abigail even told Dara she could drop by any time Dara needed a break. From then on, the two kept in touch with each other. When Dara was tired from busy work, she would share her feelings with Abigail. Abigail also came to the Wendy’s to talk with Dara frequently. Sometimes she invited Dara to her house at weekends. What began as a stranger’s unexpected visit turned into a warm and lasting friendship. Their story proves that a tiny act of kindness can connect two strangers and bring endless warmth to both sides. 【解析】 【导语】本文以一次意外的求助为线索。快餐店员工达拉（Dara）在高强度的工作中几乎崩溃，午休时走到陌生人家门前，请求在院子里吃午饭；房主阿比盖尔（Abigail）没有怀疑，而是选择善意接待，却因急事匆匆离开，使达拉没能当面道谢。续写要求考生补上这份“未说出口的感谢”，并写出两人由此结下友谊的过程，最后升华“微小善举连接陌生人”的主题。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写达拉一眼认出阿比盖尔，主动上前热情招呼并郑重道谢，又以请客吃饭回报当日的收留；阿比盖尔回忆那天的情况，说明自己只是举手之劳，并表示达拉累了随时可以再来休息。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写两人此后的往来：达拉工作疲惫时向阿比盖尔倾诉，阿比盖尔常来店里与她聊天，周末还邀她到家做客；一次不起眼的善意，可以让两个陌生人彼此牵挂，并给对方带来长久的温暖。 2.续写线索：阿比盖尔到店点餐→达拉认出并主动致谢→请客回报→阿比盖尔回忆当天情形并欢迎再来→互留联系方式→日常互相关心→周末到家做客→陌生变朋友→升华主题 3.词类激活： 行为类： 感谢：express thanks to/show appreciation to/extend gratitude to 招待：treat sb. to sth./entertain sb. to sth 情绪类： 高兴地：cheerfully/merrily/joyfully 感动：be moved/be touched/be affected 【点睛】【高分句型1】Abigail was deeply moved, saying she was happy to provide Dara with a quiet place to calm down.

Students will love exploring while also gaining invaluable experience by designing and conducting experiments. Sunscreen Experiment Kids often don’t enjoy being told they need sunscreen, so showing its power through demonstration can help them see its value. This science fair project uses simple white beads (珠子) that change color when exposed to UV rays (紫外线) so children can compare the effectiveness of different sunscreen products. Start this experiment by applying some of each sunscreen type on paper and placing both pieces of paper in direct sunlight for several hours. Sundial (日晷) Experiment Using a sundial to tell time is a fascinating science activity that helps students gain knowledge of shadows and the movement of sunlight across the sky. Through this hands-on experiment, students gain an opportunity to see how people in previous times knew time without clocks or watches. Start this experiment by asking students to identify an outdoor spot that receives sunlight all day, placing a flat board there, tracing the shadows onto it and noting where the shadows will fall at certain points of the day. Mineral Experiment Students learn to identify rocks and minerals through this simple experiment. They use a plate to test the hardness of various common minerals. They also observe how these minerals form crystals (晶体) and how they break apart differently from others. This lesson helps students understand the characteristics and uses of different minerals. Students can even form “companies” and compete to mine different types of rocks with specific features. 1. What is the main purpose of using beads in the sunscreen experiment? A. To compare the prices of sunscreen. B. To show the effectiveness of sunscreen. C. To analyze the impact of sunscreen on skin. D. To demonstrate chemical reactions in sunscreen. 2. How do students begin the sundial experiment? A. By building a sundial from beginning. B. By comparing different types of sundials. C. By measuring the length of their shadows. D. By identifying a sunny spot and using a flat board. 3. What does the mineral experiment allow students to do? A. Observe crystal formation. B. Learn geological history. C. Sell rocks they mine. D. Form companies. B Haley Curfman, 25, of Blackwell, Oklahoma, is a teacher at Blackwell Public School and last year she bought a plain (朴素的) white dress, which she set up a station in her classroom for her students to decorate, encouraging them to go and draw on the dress whenever they had free time. Haley set up a station at a table with the dress and some colored markers so that her students could draw on it, having first seen the idea on Pinterest. After the kids had finished the design, she then surprised them all by wearing the dress to class, sharing pictures of herself in it on Facebook in a post that has since been shared over 200,000 times. For teachers looking to do something similar for their own students, Haley said that she bought the dress from Amazon for less than $20 about six months ago and pre⁃washed the dress before she started the project. She used markers from Walmart. But she said these things can be bought in other places. She said, “To do the project, I set up a station at a table with the dress and markers. It takes anywhere from two weeks to a month to complete as we just work on it here and there when time allows. You'd better give the students enough time so they don’t have to hurry.” “Teachers have been sharing their dresses, T⁃shirts, etc. with me that they've been creating since the 1950s with the same idea. It is amazing, and I love the fact that you are sharing them with me! Thank you all so much for your kindness and support,” she wrote on Facebook. Asked why she came up with the idea, Haley told Scary Mommy, “We don’t have art in our school, so I always try to do little creative projects when possible.” 4. What did Haley use the plain white dress to do? A. To teach her students painting. B. To prepare for her presentation. C. To ask her students to draw on it. D. To help her students with their homework. 5. What do we know about the finished dress? A. It took Haley by surprise. B. It is kept by Haley at home. C. It is the product of a new idea. D. It has enjoyed popularity online. 6. What should a teacher do if he or she wants to follow Haley’s example? A. Buy the same dress online. B. Give the kids enough time. C. Buy the same markers in Walmart. D. Leave the finished work untouched. 7. Why did Haley carry out the project? A. To excite her students’ creativity. B. To show her idea on Pinterest. C. To share it with other teachers. D. To teach her students art. C Recently, I revisited Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s timeless classic, The Little Prince. Although often categorized as a children’s book, its profound messages about human nature and the modern world are perhaps more relevant to teenagers and adults today than ever before. The story follows a pilot stuck in the Sahara Desert who meets a young prince from a tiny planet. As the prince describes his journey through various planets, he shares his encounters with several “grown-ups,” including a king, a businessman, and a geographer. Each character represents a different human flaw, such as the obsession with power, wealth, or cold facts. Through these interactions, the author criticizes how adults often lose sight of what truly matters in life. One of the most famous lines in the book is: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” This simple yet powerful idea serves as the core of the book. In our fast-paced, digital age, we are often distracted by social media likes, exam grades, and material success. We tend to judge things by their appearance or price tag rather than their true value. The prince’s relationship with his rose and his friendship with the fox remind us that it is the time and care we “waste” on something that makes it important. Reading this book felt like a gentle wake-up call. It challenges the reader to look beyond the surface and reconnect with their imagination. It teaches us that being a “grown-up” shouldn’t mean losing our sense of wonder or our ability to form deep, meaningful connections. In conclusion, The Little Prince is not just a fairy tale; it is a philosophical guide. It encourages us to slow down, look at the stars, and remember that the most beautiful things in life cannot be seen or touched — they must be felt with the heart. 8. What do the grown-ups the prince encounters on his journey have in common? A. They are consumed by things of little true worth B. They offer the prince guidance on life's real meaning C. They represent ideals that modern adults should follow D. They have forgotten how to communicate with children 9. The word “distracted” (Paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to ________. A. motivated to pursue more ambitious targets B. drawn away from what is genuinely important C. confused about one's identity and future goals D. entertained by fast-moving digital content 10. What can be inferred about the author’s attitude toward growing up? A. Adults naturally become wiser as they age B. Imagination is inevitably lost in adulthood C. Maturity does not have to mean losing one's wonder D. Most modern adults have already lost their curiosity 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To encourage readers to rediscover deeper values in life B. To retell The Little Prince for a younger audience C. To analyze Saint-Exupéry’s unique storytelling techniques D. To argue that children's books hold more wisdom than adult fiction D For people with severe paralysis (瘫痪), communication can be extremely difficult. Some may still move their eyes, but many cannot speak or use their hands. To address this problem, scientists have been developing brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). In a recent advance, researchers tested a new BCI system that allowed users with paralysis to type more quickly, offering new hope for more natural communication. Earlier BCIs made communication possible, but not efficient. In many cases, users had to move a cursor (光标) across a screen and choose letters one by one. This method worked, yet it was often too slow for normal conversation. Researchers therefore wanted a system that could operate more like everyday typing. In a recent study, a research team tested a new BCI keyboard that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to recognize a user’s intended finger or hand movements. The system linked patterns of brain activity to letters on a standard keyboard. Two people with paralysis took part in the study by attempting to move their fingers, even though no actual movement occurred. One of them reached a typing speed of 22 words per minute, close to the speed of ordinary smartphone texting. The advance matters because communication is not only about producing words, but also about joining a conversation at the right time. A person who types too slowly may struggle to take part naturally in social interaction. Some users can rely on eye-tracking systems, but these are often slower and may not work well for everyone. A faster BCI, therefore, could make communication feel more direct and more natural. Still, the technology is not ready for wide use. The study included only two participants, so further testing is needed. In addition, the device requires surgery to place chips (芯片) in the brain, which brings risks. It also needs to be adjusted before each use.

One busy day at work, the nonstop rush of customers and the never-ending tasks made her feel completely stressed out. Her head was spinning (眩晕) and she really needed a peaceful place to get herself together. When the break time arrived, she didn’t feel like walking all the way back home. So, she started to wander (闲逛) around a nearby neighborhood. As she walked, her feet seemed to have a mind of their own, and before she knew it, she was standing in front of a house she had never seen before. She stood there for a moment, thinking whether she should go home or stay there. The long walk home seemed tiring, but she was also a bit unsure about staying in this strange place. After some thought, she finally picked up the courage. She took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell. On the other side of the door, Abigail, the owner of the house, answered through her Ring camera. Dara, looking a bit nervous, made an unusual request (请求). “Hi, I work at the Wendy’s nearby. I’m on my break and I don’t want to walk all the way home. Can I just sit here in your yard and eat my lunch?” Abigail was really surprised by this request. Her eyes got wide, and for a second, she didn’t know what to do. But then, instead of being suspicious (怀疑), she decided to be nice. “Sure, come in,” she said warmly, opening the door to offer a welcoming smile. Dara was so happy. As she started to eat her lunch, Abigail got a call and had to leave in a hurry. She told Dara to have her meal there peacefully and just close the door when she left. They hardly exchanged any more words. Before Dara got a chance to thank her, Abigail had left. Dara ate her lunch comfortably in the yard. However, not having the chance to express her thanks to Abigail made Dara feel a little regretful. 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。 Days later, Abigail went to the Wendy’s to buy some food. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From then on, the two kept in touch with each other. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
