"Are you still climbing all those stairs?" The question comes after friends say, "You're
looking good," considerately not adding, "for your age."
"Yup. Still tapping up and down." I do a little soft shoe dancing for emphasis. "Just like
Shirley Temple and Bill Whatzisname in that musical years ago."
They shake their heads. Same old question, same old response. They've been joking with us
about our hardwood stairs ever since we bought this old farmhouse 50 years ago.
There were three flights, one from the main floor bending to the second, a narrow flight to
the third-floor rooms, and narrow stairs down to the basement. The stairs didn't seem a problem
when we moved in. We were younger, livelier and ran up and down many times a day without
concern. Though as we grew older, carrying a load of freshly washed clothes from the basement to
the third floor could be tiring and we'd have to pause to catch our breath on the landings.
Our daughter brought a friend over to meet the "old folks at home" and on his very first visit
he looked up at the stairs and said, "These could be dangerous. Have you ever thought about
putting rubber treads on them?" We did so at the request of my daughter, but we removed them
later because they were dust collectors.Our son, home from the West Coast for a visit but really to check on his aging parents,
suggested, "You might investigate one of those lifts where you sit down, press a button and rise
up."
"What happens if there's a power failure?" we protested. "And our legs have weakened
because of no exercise."
Some people run, some drive to the gym, and others wear watches to count their steps. But a
few trips up and down stairs after breakfast get my blood flowing and the muscles working and
I'm set for the day. Occasionally my back aches and I'm reduced to a snail's pace. But speed is no
longer a priority.
24. What does the author intend to do by responding to her friends in that manner?
A. Show her gratitude for their concern
B. Defend her daily habit of using stairs
C. Stop them from asking the same question
D. Hide her embarrassment about the broken stairs
25. What troubles the author's children most about the stairs?
A. Their safety
B. Their appearance
C. Their maintenance
D. Their effectiveness
26. How do the stairs benefit the author?
A. They provide a sense of belonging
B. They serve as a reminder of her past
C. They help her stay active and mobile
D. They offer a beautiful view of the surrounding area
27. What sort of person is the author?
A. Athletic and determined
B. Sensitive and traditional
C. Practical and economical
D. Optimistic and independent

Like rolling into a gas station during a road trip, whale sharks use oil and gas platforms as a
brief stop during their migrations of thousands of kilometers across the oceans. The human-made
structures attract marine life — including the sharks’ favorite snack: plankton (浮游生物). But
experts worry that this attraction could put the endangered giant creatures at risk of ship strike or
chemical pollution.
Satellite tracking of whale sharks off the coast of western Australia shows how oil and gas
platforms influence the movements of these gentle giants, marine ecologist Ben D’Antonio, of the
Australian Institute of Marine Science and University of Western Australia, and colleagues
reported on January 18.
“Think of seafloor features like a truck stop on a highway,” D’ Antonio says. “On a family
vacation, we often pull into truck stops to fuel up and grab a quick bite before heading to our final
destination. Whale sharks seem to be using seafloor features in a similar way.”
Over 14 years, the researchers tagged 78 whale sharks, tracked their movements and cross-checked the location of landform characteristics to see how these affect the sharks’routes. While
natural canyons and seamounts also act as brief stops, this attraction towards oil platforms —
possibly enhanced by plankton’s attraction to the platforms’rays of light — could put the huge
animals at risk of being hit by a ship or pollution from oil spills or discharges. It’s impossible to
know exactly how many are being killed by ships because their bodiessink without a sign.
The researchers hope this finding will help decision makers managing marine protected areas
and raise awareness of the potential impact on marine life when human-made platforms are
disused or new structures are built. “This will become more relevant as developments for
renewable energy begin to add additional structure to many coastal areas,” D’Antonio says.
28. Why do whale sharks use oil and gas platforms as a brief stop?
A. To admire the man-made structures.
B. To get food attracted by the platforms.
C. To attract other species of marine life.
D. To attack ships stopping at the place.
29. What risk can whale sharks meet when approaching oil and gas platforms?
A. Colliding with ships.
B. Missing their snacks.
C. Being hunted by people.
D. Being disturbed by tourists.
30. Why is it impossible to know exactly how many whale sharks are killed by ships?
A. Their bodies are quickly eaten by predators.
B. Their bodies sink without leaving a trace.
C. Ship strikes are rarely reported by sailors.
D. Tracking devices fail to record fatal collisions.
31. What role do the researchers hope this finding will play?
A. Promote the economy of coastal cities.
B. Improve the stability of the gas platforms.
C. Assist decision makers with structure planning.
D. Help countries to upgrade energy structures.
D
In the risky world of nuclear arms control, Princeton student Lepowsky is exploring how
robots can make inspections more accurate and acceptable to host nations worried about invasive
(侵入的) traditional methods. His latest research has led to a robot performing inspections without
saving sensitive information.
“The host nation likely won’t want a human inspector poking their nose around,” said
Lepowsky. “But even a robot has memory and sensors acquiring data.” The goal is to have high-
confidence inspections without the robot saving information. For example, the robot would not
save radiation measurements or create floor plans of sensitive areas.
The new prototype (样机) is built on an iRobot Create 3 platform, an educational robot.
Robots offer advantages over human inspectors:they can tolerate higher radiation levels, are more
consistent, and can be cheaper. They also can be programmed to generate trust, such as not using
cameras to avoid seeing unwanted details. The idea for the robot started with Lepowsky’s adviser,
Glaser, who was curious about creating a “forgetful robot” that could perform highly accuratenuclear arms inspections but forget everything afterward. This led to an even more interesting
idea:
“Rather than forgetting, we’re not even remembering in the first place,” Lepowsky said. He
believes this feature can reassure hosts concerned about privacy.
Lepowsky likes the interdisciplinary nature of his work — drawing on both his robotics and
policy expertise — and he likes that it requires a breadth of knowledge, not just depth. He values
that his research is grounded in real-life applications for global security and nuclear
nonproliferation (防扩散).
Predicting when the robot might be used in the field is difficult. “It’s easy to say, today, it’s
not very realistic, but you have to be ready for it and when it becomes possible,” said Lepowsky.
Research into this problem is very active. Because arms control is changing, the specific
objectives of future agreements are hard to predict. “But we can hope they will be positive, and
we need to be ready, technically. ”
32. In which aspect is Lepowsky’s robot different from human inspectors?
A．Data security.
B．Memory capacity.
C．Social acceptance.
D．User friendliness.
33. What is said about the robot in paragraph 3?
A．Its accurate system.
B．Its privacy risks.
C．Its design mechanism.
D．Its operational problems.
34. What does Lepowsky like about his work?
A．Scientific research data.
B．Real-time technical cooperation.
C．In-depth theoretical studies.
D．Integrated knowledge across fields.
35. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A．Princeton’s “Forgetful” Robots in Global Security
B．No-Memory Robots:The Future of Nuclear Checks?
C．Nuclear Arms Control:Robots or Human Inspectors?
D．Lepowsky’s “Curious” Robots for Radiation Detection

余选项。
Imagine you buy a new shirt and do not intend to buy a new jacket. You were perfectly
happy with it until you wore it with the new shirt. However, you imagine that the new shirt makes
the old jacket look worn. Then you can’t help buy a new jacket or even more to better fit the shirt.
36 The simplest description of it is the scenario of buying something new and replacing our old
possessions with items to match the new one, even if that means an empty bank account.
37
Become aware it is happening.
Observe when you are being drawn into consumption not because you are in actual need ofan item, but only because something new has been introduced.
38 A store may be having a great sale on a new outfit—but if the new outfit forces you
to buy a new pair of shoes or handbag to match, it just became a more expensive purchase than
originally assumed.
Avoid unnecessary new purchases.
Realize the Diderot Effect is a significant force and overcoming it is very difficult. You may
avoid replacing those end tables at first, but eventually, at some point down the road, you are
going to break down and buy new ones that better match the new couch. 39 But the best way
to overcome the Diderot Effect is to never allow it to overpower you in the first place.
Remind yourself that possessions do not define you.
40 Your possessions do not define you or your success—no matter what marketers will try
to tell you.
A．Analyze and predict the full cost of future purchases.
B．Buy things for their usefulness rather than their status.
C．We actually can employ this mind trick in the following ways.
D．The true abundance of life is not found in the things that you own.
E．Then how can we resist this pattern of unnecessary consumerism?
F．The phenomenon can be owed to the so-called “Diderot Effect”.
G．There are times when we have a proper need to buy new things, admittedly.

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。.
It was a cool fall morning, and the sun was just starting to rise, casting a warm light to the
quite neighborhood. For Alex, the high school junior with a deep passion for science, was filled
with both excitement and nervousness. Today marked the final presentation of his science project,
which he had been working on for months. The topic was renewable energy, and Alex had built a
model of a solar- powered car. He hoped it would help him win the regional science fair.
Alex checked his bag one last time: notes, sides, and the model car. Just as he was about to
leave, his younger brother Ax came into the room with big, sorry-looking eyes. In his hand, he
held a broken piece of the car's solar panel. “I'm really sorry, Alex!” Ax said in a very quiet voice,
his head down because he felt guilty. “I was just so curious. I wanted to see how it worked, and I
didn't mean to break it.”
Alex's eyes opened wide in shock, and his heart felt like it dropped to the bottom of his
stomach. The presentation was in a few hours, and there wasn't time to fix it. He thought about
explaining what happened, but he was worried it would sound like an excuse and make him less
likely to win. He could put a battery in the car and act like nothing was wrong. But when he
thought about it, he felt uncomfortable. He was proud of being honest, and the idea of cheating,
even a little bit, made him feel sick.
As he walked to school, his steps were slow and heavy. He thought about all the late-night
hours he spent working at his work bench, how frustrated he was when the circuits（电路）didn't
work, and how happy he was when the car finally moved using solar power. His dreams of
winning the competition and being recognized for his hard work seemed to be going away. But
then he remembered the talks at the dinner table a long time ago, when his parents told him how
important it was to be honest, responsible, and keep trying. Their words kept playing in his mind.
By the time he got to the school gates, a determined look was on his face. He knew exactly what
he had to do.

范文一:
Dear Principal,
I am writing to express my heartfelt support for the two-day weekend policy, which
I believe is essential for students’ long-term development.Not only does this policy
allow us to recharge physically and mentally, but it also creates space for personal
growth beyond textbooks. L More importantly, whether it's reading for pleasure
exercising, or simply spending time with family, what we gain during these breaks is far
more than relaxation - it's balance, motivation, and inner peace. Without regular rest,
seldom can we maintain focus, creativity, or emotional stability under academic
pressure.To make the most of weekends, I suggest organizing optional skill-building
workshops on campus, such as coding or public speaking classes. Additionally, creating a
“ weekend activity guidebook" with museum schedules and community service
opportunities would help student!plan meaningful activities.
Yours sincerely
LiHua
范文二:
Dear Principal,
I am writing to express my firm opposition to the two-day weekend policy currently
being considered for our high school. While the intention behind providing more rest is
understandable, believe this change would negatively impact our academic progress.
Firstly,reducing school time by one day would significantly compress our already
demanding curriculum, making it difficult to cover all necessary materials thoroughly.
Secondly the extended break could disrupt our study routines and reduce learning
momentum. Many students might lack the self-discipline to use this extra timeproductively, instead spending it on entertainment or unproductive activities.
I would like to suggest a compromise: implementing a one-and-a-half-day weekend
system where students attend school for academic reinforcement or elective courses on
Saturday mornings. This approach would maintain valuable learning time while still
providing additional rest period.Thank you for considering my perspective on this
important matter.
Yours sincerely
Li Hua
Alex stood in front of the class and judges, feeling nervous. He took a deep breath
and began his presentation. “Today, I'd like to talk about my project on a solar-
powered car. However, before coming here, an accident happened. My little brother
broke a part of the solar panel. I was so shocked and disappointed at first. But then I
realized that honesty is more important than winning So, what you see now is a
damaged model. But the knowledge and effort behind it are real.” He then went on to
explain the theory and his process of building the car, The audience listened attentively,
some nodding in understanding.
Later that day, Alex received an email from the science fair organization. His heart
raced a she opened it. To his surprise, he had won an honorary mention. The email
praised his honesty and his in-depth understanding of the project. It said that although
his model was damaged, his integrity and the quality of his work impressed the judges.
Alex felt a rush of joy and relief. He knew that his decision to be honest was the right
one. This experience not only taught him the
value of honesty but also made him more determined to pursue his love for science.

28.推理判断题。根据第一段中“Like rolling into a gas station during a road trip, whale
sharks use oil and gas platforms as a brief stop during their migrations of thousands of
kilometers across the oceans. The human-made structures attract marine life - including
the sharks’ favorite snack: plankton(浮游生物).(就像在公路旅行中驶入加油站一样，鲸鲨
在跨越数千公里海洋的迁徙途中，会将石油和天然气平台当作短暂停歇之处。这些人造建
筑会吸引海洋生物一包括鲸鲨最喜爱的小吃:浮游生物。)”可知，鲸鲨把油气平台当作短
暂停留地是为了获取被平台吸引的食物。故选 B。29.细节理解题。根据第一段中“But
experts worry that this attraction could put the endangered giant creatures at risk of
ship strike or chemical pollution.(但专家担心，这种吸引力可能会使这种濒危的巨型生物面
临船只撞击或化学污染的风险。)”可知，鲸鲨接近油气平台可能会面临与船只相撞的风险。
故选 A。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了普林斯顿大学的学生 Lepowskgy 在核军备控
制领域的研究，特别是他关于如何利用机器人进行更准确且为主办国所接受的核查工作的
探索。
32.推理判断题。根据文章第二段““The host nation likely won't want a human
inspector poking their nose around," said Lepowsky, “But even a robot has memory
and sensors acquiring data." The goal is to have high-confidence inspections without the
robot saving information. For example, the robot would not save radiation measurements
or create floor plans of sensitive areas.(Lepowsky说:“东道国很可能不希望人类核查员到
处窥探。但即便是机器人也有会采集数据的内存和传感器。”其目标是在机器人不保存信
息的情况下进行高可信度的核查,例如，机器人不会保存辐射测量数据，也不会经制敏感区
域的平面图。)可知，东道国不希望人类核查员到处窥探，而Lepowsky的机器人的目标是
在不保存信息，如不保存射测量数据、不绘制敏感区域平面图的情况下进行核查。所以
Lepowsky的机器人与人类核
查员在数据安全方面不同。故选A
33.主旨大意题。在文章第三段中，首先提到“The new prototype (样机)is built on an
iRobot Create 3 platform, an educational robot.(这款新的样机是基于教育机器人 iRobot
Create3平台制造的。)"说明了机器人的样机是基于一个教育机器人平台搭建的。接着阐述
“Robots offer advantages over human inspectors: they can tolerate higher radiation
levels, are more consistent, and can be cheaper, They also can be programmed to
generate trust, such as not using,cameras to avoid seeing unwanted details.(与人类核查
员相比，机器人具有一些优势:它们能够承受更高的辐射水平，工作更加稳定一致，而且成
本可能更低。它们还可以通过编程来赢得信任，比如不使用摄像头以避免拍摄到不必要的
细节。)“介绍了机器人相较于人类核查员的优势，以及为了赢得信任所采用的编程方式，
比如不使用摄像头。还提到“The idea for the robot started with Lepowsky's adviser,
Glaser, who was curious about creating a“forgetful robot" that could perfom highly
accurate nuclear arms inspections but forget everything afterward. This led to an even
more interesting idea: “Rather than forgetting, we're not even remembering in the first
place," Lepowsky said. He believes this feature can reassure hosts concerned about
privacy.(关于这款机器人的想法最初来自Lepowsky的导师 Glaser，他对制造一个能够进行
高度精确的核武器核査、但事后会忘掉一切的“健忘机器人”很感兴趣。这引出了一个更
有意思的想法:“我们不是让它事后忘掉，而是从一开始就不记录任何信息。Lepowsky说。
他认为这一特点可以让那些担心隐私问题的东道国放心。)”讲述了机器人设计理念的起源
以及最终确定的“从一开始就不记录信息”这一特色，这些都围绕着机器人的设计机制展
开。所以关于第三段中提到的机器人，主要说的是它的设计机制。故选C。
34.细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Lepowsky likes the interdisciplinary nature of his
work -- drawing on both his robotics and policy expertise - and he likes that it requires
a breadth of knowledge, not just depth. He values that his research is grounded in real-life applications for global security and nuclear nonproliferation(防扩散).( Lepowsky 喜欢
自己工作的跨学科性质一-既利用了他在机器人技术方面的专业知识，也运用了他在政策方
面的专长--而且他喜欢这份工作需要广泛的知识，而不仅仅是深度的专业知识。他很看重
自己的研究是基于全球安全和核不扩散的现实应用。)”可知，Lepowsky喜欢他工作的跨学
科性质，即他的工作需要同时运用到机器人技术和政策方面的专业知识，并且他喜欢这份
工作需要广泛的知识，而不仅仅是深度的专业知识。故选D。
35.主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章主要围绕莱波夫斯基研发的不会保存敏感信息
(即没有记忆)的机器人展开，介绍了该机器人在核武器核查领域的研发背景、优势、设计
机制等。文中提到这种机器人能够在不保存信息的情况下进行高可信度的核查，解决了东
道国对隐私的担忧，并且探讨了虽然目前难以预测其在实际领域的应用时间，但针对该问
题的研究很活跃，未来可能在核核查中发挥作用。选项B“No-Memory Robots: The Future
of Nuclear Checks?(无记忆机器人:核核査的未来?)”既突出了机器人“无记忆”的特点，
又点明了其与核核查的关系，并且以疑问的形式引发读者思考，符合文章主旨。故选B。
七选五

M: Well, thank you for inviting me here today to talk to you about the riding and
holiday centre I run..
Let me tell you about a normal day's programme, You'll probably be pleased to
know we don't make you get up too early!After breakfast at 8:30 we begin at 10
o'clock by getting the horses ready. You need to make sure you have the right
equipment before the ride begins at about 11:30.
For the first few miles we go quite slowly, breaking for about an hour at midday,
near a beach or lake where you can swim or sunbathe. At about 1:00 p.m., we have
packed lunch together. We arrive back at the Centre at about 4:00 p.m.
Everyone has to wear a hard hat and these are available free of charge at the
Centre. Trainers are no good for riding, I'm afraid. Strong shoes or boots with a small
heel are best. Warm clothes such as jeans and sweaters, some swimwear and a small
shoulder bag for carrying a packed lunch are useful.
And now for the price. Well, a four-day holiday is £292 per person and that
includes the riding and the equipment.The cost of food and hotel rooms is not included.
