Michael Todd wore the same clothes every day for the first three weeks of school. When the other kids began to notice that he was wearing the same black pants and blue, teal, and gray long-sleeve shirt day after day, Todd, a freshman at Martin Luther King Jr. College Preparatory High School in Memphis, became the target of laughter. But there was little Todd could do. His mother simply couldn’t afford to buy him new clothes.
Two of the kids piling on were Antwan Garrett and Kristopher Graham, a pair of freshman football players. But over time, they realized that their unfavorable words felt like bullying (欺凌) and seemed to be slowly crushing Todd’s spirit. Something finally clicked. “I felt like I needed to do something,” Graham told CBS News. So he and Garrett hatched a plan. They went home and hunted through their own drawers and closets.
The next day at school, they met Todd at their third-period class and asked him to come into the hall. Todd was understandably nervous about being called out by the larger boys. “He wasn’t smiling or anything, and I was like, ‘I think this is going to make you smile,’” Graham says. “I told him, ‘We’re in the same third period, and I apologize for laughing at you, and I want to give something to you to make it up.’” He then handed Todd a bag. Inside were clean shirts and shorts, plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers.
Todd was blown away. “I was very happy,” he told WATN-TV. “Surprised and upset, completely.” And Todd got much more than a new wardrobe. He no longer sits alone at lunch. Now he eats with his new friends, Garrett and Graham.
“I’ve been bullied my entire life,” Todd told CBS News. Reflecting on the day Garrett and Graham called him into the hall, he called it “the best day of my entire life, basically.”

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Todd was understandably nervous about being called out by the larger boys.(可以理解的是，托德害怕被大男孩喊出来)”及第四段“Todd was blown away. “I was very happy,” he told WATN-TV.(托德惊呆了。“我非常高兴，”他告诉WATN-TV，“非常惊讶和烦恼”)”可以推知，Todd对孩子们的帮助感到震惊，但也很高兴。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“He then handed Todd a bag. Inside were clean shirts and shorts, plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers.(然后他递给托德一个袋子。里面是干净的衬衫和短裤，还有一双全新的新百伦运动鞋)”及最后一段“Reflecting on the day Garrett and Graham called him into the hall, he called it “the best day of my entire life, basically.(回想起加勒特和格雷厄姆把他叫进大厅的那一天，他说那基本上是“我一生中最美好的一天”)”可知，Graham和Garrett知道Todd家庭贫困，最后伸出援手，作者通过本文想要告诉我们，当我们看到别人不幸时，我们应该努力帮助他们，应该把别人的不幸看作是帮助别人的机会。故选C项。

Humans feed thousands of songs to AI (人工智能). And it is able to analyse the basic information and recognize patterns that can be used to create original music. Such AI-created music is similar to those that any musician might compose.
Recently, an AI-powered system, the Flow Machines, has released a song Daddy’s Car. This system is able to analyse the composers’ original ideas and come up with more ideas to assist them in composing. The system tries to combine the human mind with AI.
Another great invention is Jukedeck, which works very easily. In order to create a new piece, the user just needs to select items like the desired music style (folk, rock, etc.) and the mood (sad or happy). After a few seconds, AI provides a piece of music for the user to download. Each user can create music tailored to his or her interest.
Some musicians use AI to achieve what they could not do on their own. For example, Yacht, an American pop group, has used AI to break out of their comfort zone and try to create something different from their previous songs. Soon they have their new album, which contains 10 songs, all of which are very popular.
The development of AI technology also comes with some concerns. Some human composers fear that their work might be replaced by a machine. Some others are worried about music itself and the music industry, as AI is now able to create music more and more similar to human-composed music.
Faced with this challenge, on one hand, human musicians need to remain creative; on the other hand, they should understand how to use these new tools to explore new frontiers. Perhaps the future role of the human musicians will be to focus on emotions, leaving the machines to take care of other procedures.
8. What is the new development about AI in the text?
A. Its progress in replacing humans. B. Its ability in music composing.
C. Its influence on human emotions. D. Its focus on changing human mind.
9. Why could Yacht create the popular new album?
A. Because they stuck to their former music style.
B. Because they went beyond themselves with AI.
C. Because they put in more than ten original songs.
D. Because they insisted on composing by themselves.
10. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Problems about AI composing. B. Limitations of AI technology.
C. Challenges for human composers. D. Suggestions to human musicians.
11. Which word best describes the author’s attitude toward AI technology?
A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring D. Confused.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了人工智能可以用于谱曲，一些人类作曲家担心他们的作品可能会被机器取代。面对这一挑战，一方面，人类音乐家需要保持创造性；另一方面，他们应该了解如何使用这些新工具来探索新的领域。也许人类音乐家未来的角色将是专注于情感，让机器来处理其他程序。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Humans feed thousands of songs to AI (人工智能). And it is able to analyse the basic information and recognize patterns that can be used to create original music. Such AI-created music is similar to those that any musician might compose(人类将数千首歌曲输入人工智能。人工智能能够分析基本信息并识别可用于创作原创音乐的模式。这种人工智能创造的音乐与任何音乐家都可能创作的音乐相似)”可知，文章中提到人工智能的新发展是它的作曲能力，故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Some musicians use AI to achieve what they could not do on their own. For example, Yacht, an American pop group, has used AI to break out of their comfort zone and try to create something different from their previous songs(一些音乐家使用人工智能来实现他们自己无法做到的事情。例如，美国流行乐队Yacht利用人工智能突破了他们的舒适区，试图创造出与他们以前的歌曲不同的东西)”可知，Yacht使用人工智能突破了舒适圈，创造出了与他们以前的歌曲不同的东西，故选B项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Faced with this challenge, on one hand, human musicians need to remain creative; on the other hand, they should understand how to use these new tools to explore new frontiers.( 面对这一挑战，一方面，人类音乐家需要保持创造性；另一方面，他们应该了解如何使用这些新工具来探索新的领域)”可知本段主要内容为针对文章提出的问题“人类作曲家担心他们的工作可能会被机器取代”给出具体的建议，故选D项。
【11题详解】

A small robot that can change its shape and produce heat shows potential in targeting cancer cells and preventing internal bleeding. It can also be used for delivering drugs directly to tumors (肿瘤) or inaccessible areas within the human body.
Researchers, led by Ren Hao Soon at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, developed a centimeter-sized robot inspired by pangolins (穿山甲). It is constructed with soft and magnetic (磁性的) materials, allowing the robot to change its shape.
To enable movement, shape shifting, and heat generation, the researchers applied magnetic fields to the robot’s metal parts. By adjusting the frequency of these fields, the robot was able to heat up and give out heat into its surroundings. The team observed that the robot’s body temperature could be over 70℃.
In addition, the researchers used the robot’s heat to deliver substances within a simulated (模拟的) stomach environment. They attached something simulating medicine capsules onto the robot, which dissolved upon heating, thereby releasing the goods. This technique holds promise for targeted drug delivery inside the body.
Soon, his team also tested the robot’s ability to halt bleeding. They created wounds using a dead pig’s stomach. By pumping blood through a small incision using a syringe, they simulated bleeding. Subsequently, the robot extended and covered the area, giving out heat to help stop bleeding.
According to Jake Abbott from the University of Utah, the robot could potentially be employed for targeted destruction of tumor cells, reducing the need for exposing large amounts of tissue to radiation or chemicals. By raising the robot’s temperature to a level unsafe for normal cells and keeping it in place for a few minutes, cancer cells can be killed. Abbott emphasizes the high temperature sensitivity of the human body.
12. What can we infer about the small robot?
A. It has been put into use.
B. It is mainly used to deliver goods.
C. It draws inspiration from the natural world.
D. It can’t be used without adding hard elements.
13. How do the researchers make the robot change shape?
A. By using heat. B. By using magnets.
C. By using radiation. D. By using chemicals.
14 What does the underlined word “halt” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Stop. B. Challenge. C. Evaluate. D. Explore.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. A Tiny Robot Will Be Used In Medicine
B. Scientists Will Make Robots Give Out Heat
C. A Small Robot Was Made To Deliver Goods
D. Doctors Have Used Tiny Robots To Cure Tumors
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是研究人员设计了一种可以改变形状的小型机器人，这种机器人可以靶向杀灭肿瘤细胞, 还能给伤口止血，具有潜在医学应用前景。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Researchers, led by Ren Hao Soon at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, developed a centimeter-sized robot inspired by pangolins (穿山甲).(德国斯图加特马克斯普朗克智能系统研究所的任浩顺领导的研究人员，以穿山甲为灵感，开发了一种厘米大小的机器人)”可知，这种小型机器人的研发灵感来自穿山甲。由此推知，该机器人的灵感是来自于自然界。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“It is constructed with soft and magnetic (磁性的) materials, allowing the robot to change its shape.(它是由柔软的磁性材料制成的，可以让机器人改变自己的形状)”可知，这种机器人是一种柔性磁性材料做的，结合第三段的“To enable movement, shape shifting, and heat generation, the researchers applied magnetic fields to the robot’s metal parts.(为了实现运动、变形和发热，研究人员在机器人的金属部件上施加了磁场)”可知，为了让这种机器人能改变形状，研究人员使用了有磁性的材料。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词句推测题。根据第五段的“Soon, his team also tested the robot’s ability”可知，此处指的是团队要对该机器人的某种能力进行测试，结合下文中的“Subsequently, the robot extended and covered the area, giving out heat to help stop bleeding.(随后，机器人伸展并覆盖了该区域，释放热量以帮助止血)”可知，这种机器人能够帮助止血。由此可知，划线单词的意思应是“阻止”。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段“A small robot that can change its shape and produce heat shows potential in targeting cancer cells and preventing internal bleeding. It can also be used for delivering drugs directly to tumors (肿瘤) or inaccessible areas within the human body.(一个可以改变形状并产生热量的小型机器人显示出靶向癌细胞和预防内出血的潜力。它还可以用于将药物直接输送到肿瘤(肿瘤)或人体内无法到达的区域)”可知，研究人员设计了一种可以改变形状的小型机器人，这种机器人可以靶向杀灭肿瘤细胞，还能给伤口止血，具有潜在医学应用前景，进而在下文中对该机器人的制作灵感以及该机器人的功能进行介绍。由此可知，本文的标题为“一种将被应用在医学上的小型机器人”与文章内容一致，且概括了主题。故选A项。

Structure your Sunday. ___17___ You might still go through that sense of dread, but that feeling is harder to hold on to when you’ re engaging in something that makes you feel good.
Don’t forget to relax. If you’re feeling more stress, it’s important to make space for relaxing activities to ground yourself. Maybe a midafternoon shower or bath, maybe an engaging movie or show, whatever feels like a helpful distraction to reground from the scaries.
Identify your anxiety sources. Try to figure out what’s really causing you to dread the week. ___18___ Even if there’s not a single reason behind your Sunday anxiety, organizing the stress into small parts can help make it all more manageable.
___19___ Getting rid of the Sunday scaries isn’t just about minimizing the gloom of the week ahead. Have something to look forward to. This gives you the opportunity to shift your thoughts to fun and will help improve your mood.
End your Sunday with the right energy. Sunday night is a proper wind-down time. Maybe you want to journal, do a face mask, read a few pages of a good book. Do your best to honor this time and make Sunday night all about you. ___20___
A. Is it a deadline, meeting or presentation?
B. Create some excitement for the week ahead.
C. Experts have referred to this worry as Sunday scaries.

【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述来自孟加拉国的国际学生在山西求学和生活的经历。
【36题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：自从我作为一名来自孟加拉国的国际学生被山西大学的博士生录取以来，我已经在山西省会太原待了两年。分析句子结构和意思可知，这句话描述的是过去的事情，动词admit和主语I是被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态结构，be动词用was。故填was admitted。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在这两年里，我发现自己爱上了山西和中国，因为我专注于了解当地生活，对这个城市、这个省和这个国家也变得更熟悉了。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里考查形容词，作表语。be/get absorbed in意为“专注于…”。故填absorbed。

【39题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意：我必须承认，当在一个新的地方开始新的生活时，感到孤独是很正常的。此处是when引导的状语从句的省略，当从句和主句主语是同一主语时，且从句含有be动词，从句可以省略主语和be动词，动词start是句子主语I主动发出的动作，二者是主动关系，完整从句为when I am starting a new life in a new place，省略主语和be动词。故填starting。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：然而，我的适应没有花很长时间。分析句子结构和意思可知，上下文是转折关系，空格前后都有标点符号，用副词However，起过渡的作用，句首单词首字母大写。故填However。
【41题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：还有足够的空闲时间让我可以参观太原和山西的各个地方，并与当地人交朋友。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要动词不定式结构和前面的to visit并列，构成固定短语allow sb. to do sth.，意为“允许某人做某事”。故填to make。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我最喜欢的运动是骑自行车，我发现中国对骑自行车的人非常友好，因为在全国每个城市租用自行车都很方便。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要形容词，作表语，意为“方便的”。故填convenient。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：我喜欢在太原的街道上骑自行车，参观我随机遇到的地方。分析句子结构和意思可知，____8____ I meet randomly是限制性定语从句，先行词places在从句中作主语，指物，用关系代词that/which引导。故填that/which。
【44题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：这座城市有2500多年的历史，是中国所有城市中最长的。分析句子结构和意思可知，空格前面有the，所以这里用最高级形式，表示“最长的”。故填longest。
【45题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：大量保存完好的古代建筑，如晋祠的寺庙和永祚寺的双塔，都是帮助你了解古代中国面貌的物证。分析句子结构和意思可知，temple是可数名词，此处表示不止一个，需要用名词复数形式。故填temples。

第二节 读后续写 （满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Sophie left the grocery, it suddenly started raining — a heavy downpour, in fact. She had neither her jacket nor her umbrella.
Sophie held her paper bag over her head and made a rush. The rain hit her face as she ran up the street. As she stood waiting for the lights to change, Sophie glanced down to see a child’s toy lying on the sidewalk. She looked around, wondering who might have dropped it, but the street was deserted. What should she do? She couldn’t just leave it there. Sophie bent and picked up the toy — a grey elephant with a dirty label, and very wet. As the light went green, she had to make a quick decision. She held the elephant tightly and hurried on her way to her office.
“Why did you bring it with you?” Gemma asked while Sophie poured a coffee. “When they realise they’ve lost it, they’ll probably return to the place. You should’ve displayed it where you found it. Somewhere noticeable.”
That made sense. “It was getting completely wet,” Sophie protested, “It might have been destroyed.”
“It might as well be, if you can’t reunite it with its owner,” Gemma replied. “Some toddler (学步儿童) is going to have trouble getting to sleep tonight without their elephant.”
Oh, dear! Sophie had tried to do a good thing, but acting on impulse (冲动) might not have been the best choice. She decided to go back at lunch — find somewhere to set it up high. For the rest of the morning she placed the elephant on the radiator (暖气片) by her desk. At least it would be a bit drier by the time she took it back. But at lunch time, another heavy shower arrived. She picked up the toy elephant and gave its large ears a rub.
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。
“What am I going to do with you?” she asked, staring at the toy.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The man on the phone, who said his name was Arthur, sounded excited.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
“What am I going to do with you?” she asked, staring at the toy. Suddenly, she came up with a plan. She decided to take a photo of the toy and post it on social media, hoping that someone would recognize it and help connect her with the owner. Sophie snapped a picture of the toy elephant, wrote a caption explaining the situation, and shared it on various local community groups and lost-and-found pages. Although Sophie received numerous messages and calls from different people, none of them turned out to be the right match. However, she remained hopeful and continued her search. Finally, one afternoon, Sophie received a call from a man.
The man on the phone, who said his name was Arthur, sounded excited. He explained that the toy was his child’s cherished one and his description exactly matched that day’s situation. Sophie arranged a meeting with the family, and upon seeing the joyous reunion between the child and her toy, she knew that her impulsive decision had ultimately led to a happy ending. From that day forward, Sophie learned the importance of thinking through her actions before acting on impulse. She also realized the power of community and social media in helping to solve problems and bring people together.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，一个雨天Sophie在街上捡到了一个孩子的大象玩具，她想找到失主，但街上没有人，于是她把玩具带回了办公室。Gemma看到Sophie带回的玩具后，觉得她当时应该放在显眼的地方，方便失主寻回。虽然Sophie为自己辩解说当时雨很大，玩具有可能被毁，但是她意识到自己的一时冲动并非最好的选择，决定稍后回去将玩具放在高处。但不巧的是，稍后又下起了一场大雨。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容““我该拿你怎么办?”她盯着玩具问。”和第二段首句中“电话里的那个人”可推知，第一段可描写Sophie想出主意将玩具信息放到网上去寻找失主，虽然Sophie收到了很多回复，但一直没有找到正确的失主，直到有一天接到一个男人的电话。
②由第二段首句内容“电话里那个自称叫Arthur的人听起来很兴奋。”可知，第二段可描写Arthur就是正确的失主，Sophie和Arthur一家见面将玩具归还，事后Sophie明白不应该冲动行事，同时感激网络的力量得以帮助解决问题。
2. 续写线索：Sophie的困惑——Sophie想到主意——寻找失主的过程——Arthur很兴奋——Sophie归还玩具——Sophie的感受
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①认出：recognize/discern/identify
②解释：explain/clarify/delineate
③安排：arrange/organize/plan
④看到：see/spot/catch sight of
⑤知道：know/realize/sense
⑥带来：lead to/bring about/give rise to
⑦行动：act/take measures/take action/take steps
情绪类
①充满希望的：hopeful/optimistic/positive
②欢乐的：joyous/happy/joyful/cheerful
【点睛】[高分句型1] She decided to take a photo of the toy and post it on social media, hoping that someone would recognize it and help connect her with the owner.（现在分词短语hoping作状语、连接词that引导名词性从句作hoping的宾语）
[高分句型2] Although Sophie received numerous messages and calls from different people, none of them turned out to be the right match.（从属连词Although引导让步状语从句）
[高分句型3] Sophie arranged a meeting with the family, and upon seeing the joyous reunion between the child and her toy, she knew that her impulsive decision had ultimately led to a happy ending.（动名词seeing…作upon的宾语、连接词that引导名词性从句作knew的宾语）

Michael Todd wore the same clothes every day for the first three weeks of school. When the other kids began to notice that he was wearing the same black pants and blue, teal, and gray long-sleeve shirt day after day, Todd, a freshman at Martin Luther King Jr. College Preparatory High School in Memphis, became the target of laughter. But there was little Todd could do. His mother simply couldn’t afford to buy him new clothes.
Two of the kids piling on were Antwan Garrett and Kristopher Graham, a pair of freshman football players. But over time, they realized that their unfavorable words felt like bullying (欺凌) and seemed to be slowly crushing Todd’s spirit. Something finally clicked. “I felt like I needed to do something,” Graham told CBS News. So he and Garrett hatched a plan. They went home and hunted through their own drawers and closets.
The next day at school, they met Todd at their third-period class and asked him to come into the hall. Todd was understandably nervous about being called out by the larger boys. “He wasn’t smiling or anything, and I was like, ‘I think this is going to make you smile,’” Graham says. “I told him, ‘We’re in the same third period, and I apologize for laughing at you, and I want to give something to you to make it up.’” He then handed Todd a bag. Inside were clean shirts and shorts, plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers.
Todd was blown away. “I was very happy,” he told WATN-TV. “Surprised and upset, completely.” And Todd got much more than a new wardrobe. He no longer sits alone at lunch. Now he eats with his new friends, Garrett and Graham.
“I’ve been bullied my entire life,” Todd told CBS News. Reflecting on the day Garrett and Graham called him into the hall, he called it “the best day of my entire life, basically.”
4 What can we learn about Todd and his family?
A. Todd worked hard to earn his living.
B. Todd’s family lived in extreme poverty.
C. Todd’s mother did nothing to change the situation.
D. Todd were made fun of from the beginning of school.

A. Formed. B. Proved. C. Confirmed. D. Rejected.
6. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3-4?

Humans feed thousands of songs to AI (人工智能). And it is able to analyse the basic information and recognize patterns that can be used to create original music. Such AI-created music is similar to those that any musician might compose.
Recently, an AI-powered system, the Flow Machines, has released a song Daddy’s Car. This system is able to analyse the composers’ original ideas and come up with more ideas to assist them in composing. The system tries to combine the human mind with AI.
Another great invention is Jukedeck, which works very easily. In order to create a new piece, the user just needs to select items like the desired music style (folk, rock, etc.) and the mood (sad or happy). After a few seconds, AI provides a piece of music for the user to download. Each user can create music tailored to his or her interest.
Some musicians use AI to achieve what they could not do on their own. For example, Yacht, an American pop group, has used AI to break out of their comfort zone and try to create something different from their previous songs. Soon they have their new album, which contains 10 songs, all of which are very popular.
The development of AI technology also comes with some concerns. Some human composers fear that their work might be replaced by a machine. Some others are worried about music itself and the music industry, as AI is now able to create music more and more similar to human-composed music.
Faced with this challenge, on one hand, human musicians need to remain creative; on the other hand, they should understand how to use these new tools to explore new frontiers. Perhaps the future role of the human musicians will be to focus on emotions, leaving the machines to take care of other procedures.
8. What is the new development about AI in the text?
A. Its progress in replacing humans. B. Its ability in music composing.
C. Its influence on human emotions. D. Its focus on changing human mind.
9. Why could Yacht create the popular new album?
A. Because they stuck to their former music style.
B. Because they went beyond themselves with AI.
C. Because they put in more than ten original songs.
D. Because they insisted on composing by themselves.
10. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Problems about AI composing. B. Limitations of AI technology.
C. Challenges for human composers. D. Suggestions to human musicians.
11. Which word best describes the author’s attitude toward AI technology?
A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring D. Confused.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】

A small robot that can change its shape and produce heat shows potential in targeting cancer cells and preventing internal bleeding. It can also be used for delivering drugs directly to tumors (肿瘤) or inaccessible areas within the human body.
Researchers, led by Ren Hao Soon at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, developed a centimeter-sized robot inspired by pangolins (穿山甲). It is constructed with soft and magnetic (磁性的) materials, allowing the robot to change its shape.
To enable movement, shape shifting, and heat generation, the researchers applied magnetic fields to the robot’s metal parts. By adjusting the frequency of these fields, the robot was able to heat up and give out heat into its surroundings. The team observed that the robot’s body temperature could be over 70℃.
In addition, the researchers used the robot’s heat to deliver substances within a simulated (模拟的) stomach environment. They attached something simulating medicine capsules onto the robot, which dissolved upon heating, thereby releasing the goods. This technique holds promise for targeted drug delivery inside the body.
Soon, his team also tested the robot’s ability to halt bleeding. They created wounds using a dead pig’s stomach. By pumping blood through a small incision using a syringe, they simulated bleeding. Subsequently, the robot extended and covered the area, giving out heat to help stop bleeding.
According to Jake Abbott from the University of Utah, the robot could potentially be employed for targeted destruction of tumor cells, reducing the need for exposing large amounts of tissue to radiation or chemicals. By raising the robot’s temperature to a level unsafe for normal cells and keeping it in place for a few minutes, cancer cells can be killed. Abbott emphasizes the high temperature sensitivity of the human body.
12. What can we infer about the small robot?
A. It has been put into use.
B. It is mainly used to deliver goods.
C. It draws inspiration from the natural world.
D. It can’t be used without adding hard elements.
13. How do the researchers make the robot change shape?
A. By using heat. B. By using magnets.
C. By using radiation. D. By using chemicals.
14 What does the underlined word “halt” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Stop. B. Challenge. C. Evaluate. D. Explore.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. A Tiny Robot Will Be Used In Medicine
B. Scientists Will Make Robots Give Out Heat
C. A Small Robot Was Made To Deliver Goods
D. Doctors Have Used Tiny Robots To Cure Tumors
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A

考查固定搭配。句意：还有足够的空闲时间让我可以参观太原和山西的各个地方，并与当地人交朋友。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要动词不定式结构和前面的to visit并列，构成固定短语allow sb. to do sth.，意为“允许某人做某事”。故填to make。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我最喜欢的运动是骑自行车，我发现中国对骑自行车的人非常友好，因为在全国每个城市租用自行车都很方便。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要形容词，作表语，意为“方便的”。故填convenient。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：我喜欢在太原的街道上骑自行车，参观我随机遇到的地方。分析句子结构和意思可知，____8____ I meet randomly是限制性定语从句，先行词places在从句中作主语，指物，用关系代词that/which引导。故填that/which。
【44题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：这座城市有2500多年的历史，是中国所有城市中最长的。分析句子结构和意思可知，空格前面有the，所以这里用最高级形式，表示“最长的”。故填longest。
【45题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：大量保存完好的古代建筑，如晋祠的寺庙和永祚寺的双塔，都是帮助你了解古代中国面貌的物证。分析句子结构和意思可知，temple是可数名词，此处表示不止一个，需要用名词复数形式。故填temples。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Sophie left the grocery, it suddenly started raining — a heavy downpour, in fact. She had neither her jacket nor her umbrella.
Sophie held her paper bag over her head and made a rush. The rain hit her face as she ran up the street. As she stood waiting for the lights to change, Sophie glanced down to see a child’s toy lying on the sidewalk. She looked around, wondering who might have dropped it, but the street was deserted. What should she do? She couldn’t just leave it there. Sophie bent and picked up the toy — a grey elephant with a dirty label, and very wet. As the light went green, she had to make a quick decision. She held the elephant tightly and hurried on her way to her office.
“Why did you bring it with you?” Gemma asked while Sophie poured a coffee. “When they realise they’ve lost it, they’ll probably return to the place. You should’ve displayed it where you found it. Somewhere noticeable.”
That made sense. “It was getting completely wet,” Sophie protested, “It might have been destroyed.”
“It might as well be, if you can’t reunite it with its owner,” Gemma replied. “Some toddler (学步儿童) is going to have trouble getting to sleep tonight without their elephant.”
Oh, dear! Sophie had tried to do a good thing, but acting on impulse (冲动) might not have been the best choice. She decided to go back at lunch — find somewhere to set it up high. For the rest of the morning she placed the elephant on the radiator (暖气片) by her desk. At least it would be a bit drier by the time she took it back. But at lunch time, another heavy shower arrived. She picked up the toy elephant and gave its large ears a rub.
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。
“What am I going to do with you?” she asked, staring at the toy.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The man on the phone, who said his name was Arthur, sounded excited.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
“What am I going to do with you?” she asked, staring at the toy. Suddenly, she came up with a plan. She decided to take a photo of the toy and post it on social media, hoping that someone would recognize it and help connect her with the owner. Sophie snapped a picture of the toy elephant, wrote a caption explaining the situation, and shared it on various local community groups and lost-and-found pages. Although Sophie received numerous messages and calls from different people, none of them turned out to be the right match. However, she remained hopeful and continued her search. Finally, one afternoon, Sophie received a call from a man.
The man on the phone, who said his name was Arthur, sounded excited. He explained that the toy was his child’s cherished one and his description exactly matched that day’s situation. Sophie arranged a meeting with the family, and upon seeing the joyous reunion between the child and her toy, she knew that her impulsive decision had ultimately led to a happy ending. From that day forward, Sophie learned the importance of thinking through her actions before acting on impulse. She also realized the power of community and social media in helping to solve problems and bring people together.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，一个雨天Sophie在街上捡到了一个孩子的大象玩具，她想找到失主，但街上没有人，于是她把玩具带回了办公室。Gemma看到Sophie带回的玩具后，觉得她当时应该放在显眼的地方，方便失主寻回。虽然Sophie为自己辩解说当时雨很大，玩具有可能被毁，但是她意识到自己的一时冲动并非最好的选择，决定稍后回去将玩具放在高处。但不巧的是，稍后又下起了一场大雨。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容““我该拿你怎么办?”她盯着玩具问。”和第二段首句中“电话里的那个人”可推知，第一段可描写Sophie想出主意将玩具信息放到网上去寻找失主，虽然Sophie收到了很多回复，但一直没有找到正确的失主，直到有一天接到一个男人的电话。
②由第二段首句内容“电话里那个自称叫Arthur的人听起来很兴奋。”可知，第二段可描写Arthur就是正确的失主，Sophie和Arthur一家见面将玩具归还，事后Sophie明白不应该冲动行事，同时感激网络的力量得以帮助解决问题。
2. 续写线索：Sophie的困惑——Sophie想到主意——寻找失主的过程——Arthur很兴奋——Sophie归还玩具——Sophie的感受
3. 词汇激活

【点睛】[高分句型1] She decided to take a photo of the toy and post it on social media, hoping that someone would recognize it and help connect her with the owner.（现在分词短语hoping作状语、连接词that引导名词性从句作hoping的宾语）
[高分句型2] Although Sophie received numerous messages and calls from different people, none of them turned out to be the right match.（从属连词Although引导让步状语从句）
[高分句型3] Sophie arranged a meeting with the family, and upon seeing the joyous reunion between the child and her toy, she knew that her impulsive decision had ultimately led to a happy ending.（动名词seeing…作upon的宾语、连接词that引导名词性从句作knew的宾语）
