第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
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
Animal-like robots are popular. And yet, says Barbara Mazzolai, an Italian roboticist, the field of robotics is far less interested in
exploring the other major category of living things — plants. She puts the unwillingness down to a misconception（误解）
about the usefulness of plant behavior: that they are capable of neither motion nor perception（感知）. “It’s not true at all,”
she says.
Dr. Mazzolai and her team recently created FiloBot, a robot based on climbing plants. Like the real thing. FiloBot is
capable of growing, attaching to and wrapping itself around supports, and adapting itself to an environment in response to
external stimuli.
FiloBot imitates the behaviors of a climbing tree using sensors in its head which is also equipped with a layer of plastic
and a heating element. By softening and extruding (挤压出) the plastic in a circular patter, it can 3D-print its own body at a
rate of two to seven millimeters per minute. Depending on brightness and direction, it changes the heat that the plastic is
exposed to — lower temperatures result in a lighter body that increases in size more quickly, while higher temperatures
make it thicker and stronger and grow more slowly.
The researchers found that these simple functionalities were enough to let FiloBot move through a complex and unseen
environment, cross gaps and find things to attach to. The lack of heavy on-board computing hardware, they say, means that
it moves easily and requires minimal monitoring, while its slow pace means that it doesn’t disturb things around it. They
suppose that this makes it suitable for potential applications including environmental monitoring in hard-to-reach locations,
or monitoring disaster sites where existing facilities is unstable.
Dr. Mazzolai hopes that such projects will motivate other roboticists to draw inspiration from plants. The plant
kingdom is a world, she says, with a completely different approach to the animal one. “And we can develop new
technologies and artificial solutions, because it is so different.”
21. What leads to limited exploration of plant-like robots?
A．The slow growth rate of plants. B．The lack of plant research capability.
C．The misunderstanding of plant behavior. D．The difficulty of applying plant-like robots.
22. How does FiloBot grow?
A．By pressing a motion sensor. B．By exposing itself to sunlight.
C．By pushing out softened plastic. D．By controlling outside temperature.23. What is the purpose of this text?
A．To point out the value of robotics. B．To present a newly invented robot.
C．To call for more research into robots. D．To correct a misconception about plants.

Time magazine has chosen its 2024 Kid of the Year — and it’s Heman Bekele, a teenager who could change the way
skin cancer is treated.
As a student from Fairfax’s Woodson High School, Bekele divides his time between the classroom and the lab at Johns
Hopkins University, where he’s inventing a soap that could one day treat the deadly disease. “I was raised under the thought
that I could always ask questions, and be as curious as possible,” Bekele said. “ And this pushed me to the field of science.”
Some of Bekele’s earliest memories were seeing farmers work under the terrible heat with no heat protection from the sun’s
UV rays in Ethiopia, where he was born. This was one factor that made him tackle skin cancer after he moved to the US.
At home, Bekele — who’d entertain himself for hours as a child by mixing together any household products he could
get his hands on and seeing what would happen — began wondering how he could help. “ What’s one thing that is an
internationally impactful idea, something everyone can use, regardless of socioeconomic class?” Bekele asked himself.
“Almost everyone uses soap and water for cleaning. So soap would probably be the best option.” So Bekele began his
deliberate trial-and-error process, which led him to learn about a cream- based skin cancer treatment called Imiquimod that
did produce desired results — but can cost as much as $180 for the uninsured in America. Inspired by the cream, Bekele
designed his affordable soap.
Bekele knew he’d need an actual lab to refine his creation. Bekele applied to — and won— the Minnesota- based tech
company 3M’s Young Scientist Challenge in 2023, securing$25,000 and the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist”. Now,
with the help of Johns Hopkins’ professor and biologist Vito Rebecca, Bekele has been testing the soap on mice at the
university’s lab for almost half a year. The soap still has a long way to go: Testing, patenting it and getting FDA certification
could take a decade. But even then, Bekele will only be 25 years old.
24. What initially inspired Bekele to come up with his idea to cure skin cancer?
A．The farmers’exposure to the hot sun. B．His journey from the classroom to the lab.
C．The deadly disease he once suffered from. D．His being named Time’s Kid of the Year.
25. What do we know about Imiquimod?
A．It was invented by Bekele. B．Bekele proved its side effects.
C．It is effective but expensive. D．Bekele produced it for his soap.
26. Why did Bekele participate in the Young Scientist Challenge?
A．To meet Professor Vito Rebecca. B．To get support to better his soap.
C．To gain the soap patent from 3M. D．To promote ready- made products.
27. What can we learn from Bekele’s story?
A．Thinking and action mean potential success. B．Success will get personal desires satisfied.
C．Being famous is a great thirst of the young. D．Geniuses tend to get things done creatively.C
A system that helps visually impaired（视觉受损的）people to navigate their surroundings using cameras, earphones
and artificial intelligence(AI) could offer advantages over conventional sticks for people living in large cities. Cameras have
a higher range than a stick, which can typically detect obstacles（障碍物）that are around one metre in front of the person.
The system features a pair of glasses equipped with a camera that captures live images of the wearer’s surroundings. A
tiny computer processes these images to detect the presence of other people and objects such as doors, walls and furniture.
The device gives the user audio cues about their surroundings every 250 milliseconds, producing a sound in either the right
or left earphone to guide them in the right direction. The researchers also created flexible “artificial skin” layers that users
wear on their wrists and fingers, for additional navigational assistance. The bands are equipped with their own camera
system and the layers vibrate（震动）to warn the wearer when an obstacle is between 40 centimetres and 50 centimetres
away.
The researchers first worked with 12 participants with visual impairments to evaluate how well the system could help
them to avoid obstacles when walking through rooms. After training with the system, all participants were able to navigate
indoors. In another trial, the technology continued to perform well when eight participants tested the device in real-world
situations - including walking on a city street and through a conference room with furniture.
The approach is unique in combining audio and touch feedback to keep users aware of what is around them, says
Eduardo Fernández Jover, a medical doctor at Miguel Hernández University.
“It’s a proof of concept. They still need to prove it in a higher number of subjects as well as people of different ages.
The authors now plan to adjust the design of the device to make it lighter and tinier. Then it’s more invisible, so people will
feel comfortable to use it.” says study co-author Leilei Gu, an AI researcher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China.
28. Why might the new system be better for the blind?
A．It replaces the need for a walking stick. B．It can detect things farther than a stick.
C．It has been invisible and comfortable to use. D．It has more cameras than other smart devices.
29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．How the system functions. B．How audio cues are used.
C．How the system detects obstacles. D．How artificial skin layers are created.
30. What makes this navigation system special?
A．It uses both hearing and touch feedback. B．It needs no training to work well.
C．It can be applied to people of different ages. D．It can be used in any real-world situation.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．AI Glasses and Skin Layers for Navigation B．Smarter Way for the Blind to Walk in the City
C．New Tech Helps Blind People Avoid Obstacles D．High-Tech Tools to Assist the Visually Impaired
D
Is text-messaging driving us apart? These days, we talk to each other a lot with our thumbs — sending six billion text
messages a day, and likely a few billion more on services like Whats App.But some worry that so much messaging leads to less communication. For instance, when hanging out with friends,
we’d be texting secretively at the same time, pretending to maintain eye contact but mentally somewhere else.
New technologies often upset the way we relate to one another, of course. But such division caused by texting have a
strong echo in the arguments we had over telephone a hundred years ago. The small device gave us a new way to contact
one another and quickly promote new forms of socializing. Callers arranged regular “visiting” calls, dialing remote family
to catch up on news.
Soon, though, social critics thought it would be so easy to talk that we’d never leave each other alone. Others worried
that the telephone sped up life, demanding instant reactions. The use of the telephone gave little room for reflection. It
produced a craziness in the ordinary concerns of life which didn’t make for domestic happiness. “We shall soon be nothing
but transparent piles of jelly（果冻）to each other,” a London writer moaned in 1897.
However, nowadays the telephone call seems like a throwback to a gentler era. When Jenna Birch, a communication
professor at the University of Iowa, started dating a man who insisted on calling her on the phone, she found it warm and
delightful. So she doesn’t think the shift to texting has degraded our interactions. According to her study, teenagers who text
the most are also those who spend the most time face to face with friends. Communication, it seems, brings more
communication, and — as she argues — just because talk happens in text doesn’t mean it’s not meaningful.
Michéle Martin of Carleton University, thinks we’re living through a replay of the telephone, where the things that
made it valuable — instant communications — are the same that made it annoying. “People believe they are liberated
because they can bring the mobile phone everywhere,” Martin says. “But at the same time, they are slaves to it.”
32. What’s the function of the first paragraph?
A．To introduce the topic. B．To describe a scene. C．To offer an argument. D．To issue a warning.
33. According to paragraph 4, what does telephone use cause?
A．People experience very tight schedule. B．People tend to lack individuality.
C．People become narrow and uninformed. D．People lose the ability to reflect.
34. What can we learn from paragraph 5?
A．Telephone calls are particularly welcomed in dating. B．Teenagers are addicted to communicating by texting.
C．The shift to texting is destructive to face-to-face time. D．The meaning of communication goes beyond medium.
35. What’s the best title for the text?
A．Oh My God! We’ve Been Here Before! B．Gone with the Wind, Dear Texting!
C．Life is Too Short for So Many Texting D．Oh, Telephone, a Tale of Two Sides

The Daily Habits of Effective Leaders
Leadership is often perceived as a gift with birth. 36 Life coach Allison Task highlights that by adopting specific
daily habits and mental shifts, anyone can learn to step into a role of greater influence and responsibility.
Everyone has access to the same information; the difference lies in how it’s used. 37 Leaders identify
opportunities in situations and help others do the same. Crucially, you don’t need to be born with this skill, instead it can be
built by focusing on opportunities, especially in tough times.Allison Task once worked at EarthWeb, where CEO Jack Hidary (a former NYC mayor candidate) often said, “ 38
” He would explain market ideas, then wait for team members to rephrase the vision in their own words — ensuring
everyone felt invested in the goal. While this communication takes time, it avoids the bigger trouble of leading alone while
the team members wander off in different directions.
Task once greeted a therapist who has an office in her building. He responded, “Crazy, like usual,” and hurried off.
He’s talking about being crazy. 39 If he can’t do that in his own life, how can he help people live theirs? Leaders are
constant role models. Their behavior — from how they treat others to their personal habits regarding sleep, diet, and
exercise — is continuously observed and subconsciously followed by their team.
In conclusion, the journey to becoming an effective leader is accessible to all. It begins with cultivating a mindset that
seeks opportunity in adversity, ensures shared understanding through deliberate communication, and leads by example in
both professional and personal conduct. 4 0
A．It isn’t said until everyone says it.
B．Isn’t a therapist’s goal to help people be less crazy?
C．Real leaders don’t get trapped in the wormhole of social media.
D．It is a collection of skills that can be intentionally developed, though.
E．On a rainy day, one can complain or seize the chance to sell umbrellas.
F．By integrating these habits, individuals can step into rewarding leadership roles.
G．It’s easy to believe that leaders are brave and confident enough to take bold risks.

regular evening swim in the 25-metre pool.
When people are drowning, they don’t usually shout and 41 in the way it happens on television. Most people
drown quite 42 , with the person quickly sinking beneath the water. On the evening, LeRoy was testing how far he
could swim underwater 43 one breath. At some moment, as he was doing this, he became unconscious. 44 he
tried he couldn’t breathe. He sank to the bottom of the pool. LeRoy was drowning.
Luckily for him, the swimming pool was 4 5 with an electronic surveillance system called Poseidon. Although the
human lifeguards had not noticed, 12 large machine eyes deep underwater were watching the whole thing. Poseidon has

Albert Einstein, who is perhaps the greatest scientist in modern physics, is often considered one of the smartest men
who ever lived. He made numerous 5 6 (contribution) to the world, the most well-known 5 7 (be) the general theory
of relativity and the famous formula E＝mc2. Einstein was not only a genius; he was a 58 (courage) and kind figure
loved by many people.
This gentle genius was born in Germany on 14 March 1879. When he was 16, he tried to enter university in
Switzerland, but failed due to his low scores in the general part of the entrance exam, 59 obtaining exceptional scores in
maths and physics. After studying for another year, he managed to pass the exam, 60 (enter) university in 1896 and
graduating in 1900.
After two years of looking for work as a teacher, Einstein took a job as a clerk in the Swiss patent office. While
working there, out of a strong passion for knowledge, he continued to study, earning a doctorate in physics in 1905. That
same year, －－ 61 was later recorded as a miracle year in science, he published four extraordinary physics papers.
Following this, he －－ 62 (gradual) became famous throughout the world as the new Isaac Newton. After four years, he
was able to quit his job at the patent office and enter research full-time at a university. In 1922, he 63 (award) the 1921
Nobel Prize for Physics for his 6 4 (explain) of the photoelectric effect.
To the public, he was seen as a slightly odd-looking but kind and funny man. He had a thick moustache and long white
hair, which sometimes stood on end as though he had just received 6 5 electric shock.
On 18 April 1955, it was reported that Einstein had passed away, and the whole world mourned the great loss of a
brilliant scientist.

Dear Peter,
第二节（满分25分）
67. 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。
Recently, my work has been incredibly overwhelming — the constant deadlines, endless meetings, and high
expectations are really wearing me down, making me lost in life. It’s hard to quiet my mind to focus on anything else. I
knew I needed to find a way to manage these emotions before things got worse. I decided to go hiking in a forest near my
city to escape from all those that stressed me.
I packed my backpack carefully, making sure I had everything I needed — water, some snacks, and sunscreen to
protect my skin from the sun. With everything prepared, I set off, ready for a little adventure.
The forest was more beautiful than I had imagined. Tall, ancient trees stretched high above me, their leaves forming a
green roof that let in patches of sunlight. Colorful wildflowers dotted the ground, and the air smelled fresh and earthy. Birds
sang sweetly from the branches, and the sound of rustling leaves made the forest feel alive. The peacefulness of nature
calmed me down.
I followed a narrow, winding path with fewer hikers, enjoying every moment. The deeper I went, the more magical
everything seemed. I was so busy looking at the trees and listening to the birds that I didn’t pay attention to where I was
going. Suddenly, I stopped. The trees around me looked strange — different from the ones I had passed earlier. My heart
skipped a beat. Obviously, I was lost in nature, just like I was in my life.
The sun was beginning to set, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. I knew I had to find my way back before it
got dark. I tried to remember which direction I had come from, but the forest was like a giant maze（迷宫）. Every path I
took seemed to lead me in circles. The trees all looked the same.
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。
As it was becoming dark, I realized how serious my situation was.
Just as I was feeling hopeless, I spotted a faint（微弱的）light in the distance.
