Dear fellow students and teachers,
I feel honoured to express my opinion on whether physical bookstores will disappear. While online shopping and e-books are convenient, I firmly believe physical bookstores play an irreplaceable role in digital times. (点明自己的观点)
Firstly, physical bookstores provide a unique environment for exploration. The smell of paper and the joy of flipping through(快速翻动) pages create a sensory pleasure digital platforms cannot match/ replicate（复制）. Secondly, physical bookstores are perfect places for human connection. They host various activities ranging from book signings to readers’ discussions that help build social bonds. Lastly, physical bookstores allow readers screen-free zones and an escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life, thus promoting their mental wellbeing. (三个理由，结构清晰)
In conclusion, the multidimensional value of physical bookstores ensures their continued vitality in our increasingly digital world.
Thanks for listening!

I was hesitant at first, but I decided to give it a try. Accompanied by Cindy, I spent the weekend working as a volunteer there. We organized games to interact with the left-behind children and the experience was heart-warming when I saw their initial shyness gradually replaced by cheerful laughter, which was infectious to me. We also helped clean the rooms of elderly people in a nursing house, listened to their stories and even taught them how to use smartphones patiently. The atmosphere was filled with warmth and love. For the first time in months, I forgot about work and gained a sense of authentic pleasure in life.
After that memorable day, I decided to make a change to my life. Apart from working on my business, I also set aside time for those simple pleasures in life. I signed up for volunteer activities, finding joy in the smiles of those less fortunate. I had heart-to-heart conversations with my family over delicious home-cooked meals and visited my favorite bookstore where I lost myself in the wisdom of written words. With this new routine, my health gradually improved and I discovered the right path to true well-being. I was ready to embrace a new chapter, one that balanced both career ambition and the joy of life. / Reflecting on my previous behavior, I understood that true success wasn’t measured by endless hustle but by the ability to cherish the simple treasures in life that could recharge the soul.

M: I don't think I appreciate traditional festivals, like Christmas and Easter as much as my family.
W: What do you mean
M: I'm just not that into them. Christmas and Easter have many extra parts involved. I like to celebrate with the people I love in a comfortable environment. My favorite holiday is the summer festival.
W: Is it because of our tradition to swim in my pool every year before the parade
M: No, though that is fun. It's because after the parade we go to my parents' giant barbecue with all their friends. Everyone brings a dish of food or drinks and then we talk and tell stories until the stars come out.
W: People do that on Christmas and Easter too, you know! I think it just depends on your family's traditions.
M: For some reason, I just feel that most people feel the need to buy expensive things that are unnecessary during Christmas and Easter. There is no expectation of getting or giving gifts. It feels like you are forced into being nice, because of a date.
W: Yes, but you don't have to do any of that to celebrate. My family makes gifts for one another or we make promises saying we will help each other with projects or housework.

Thank you, Ms. Jackson. I'm honored to talk to your class today about something I know a thing or two about: being afraid. As you can see, I was born without arms. Every time I fell down, I was scared that I wouldn't be able to get up. My parents were too poor to afford plastic arms for me. But luckily one of my doctors, Dr. Wilson, showed me how to use my feet to do everything. Once I could do a few things by myself, I didn't feel scared of being alone anymore. In high school, everyone in my class made fun of me. Every morning, I was afraid of what they would say. That was the hardest and darkest time in my life. But my teacher Mrs. Dalton made sure I stayed focused on my schoolwork. She taught me to be strong and confident. Once I realized that it didn't matter what other people thought of me, I wasn't scared of being in the crowds anymore. Now that I have my own successful law company in Manchester, I can afford those plastic arms. Maybe I will get them one day. But for now, my missing arms remind me every day that I don't have anything to be afraid of.省前中2027届高一第二学期期末考试 英语试卷

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
A
With such a strong artistic heritage, it’s no surprise that England knocks it out of the park when it comes to world-class art galleries. These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list.
Royal Academy of Arts（RA）, London
Not your standard gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts is led by artists to promote not just the appreciation of art, but its practice. It is world-famous for hosting some exhibitions that get everyone talking. Besides, what sets the RA apart is its engagement with the public through participatory experiences, allowing visitors to not only view art but become part of it in innovative ways.
Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire
Tearing up the rulebook when it comes to how we traditionally view art, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park tries to break down barriers by showing works from British and international artists in the open air. Set in hundreds of acres of West Yorkshire parkland, you’ll see sculptures by some of the leading artists of the 20th century.
Whitworth, Manchester
After a sky-high 15 million development, the Whitworth is becoming one of the premier galleries in the north of England. Making full use of its picturesque park setting, the gallery has a beautiful art garden and a sculpture terrace (露天平台), all waiting to be explored. Inside the gallery, you can view an exciting programme of ever-changing exhibitions.
21. What is special about Royal Academy of Arts
A. It offers interactive experiences. B. It displays works by senior artists.
C. It holds exhibitions in a traditional way. D. It provides a vast space for hosting exhibitions.
22. What do Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Whitworth have in common
A. They are small in scale. B. They offer outdoor settings.
C. They feature modem works. D. They host exhibitions on an annual basis.
23. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A travel guidebook. B. A film magazine.
C. A history book. D. A science report.
B
During my early years, I focused on eye-catching landscape photography. I spent time in the Himalayas, Patagonia and Tasmania and returned with pictures of breathtaking beauty which I thought were “awesome”. But a one-month camping trip to the Menindee lakes along Darling-Baaka in Australia shifted my perspective; photography is more than taking photos.
As I became increasingly familiar with the place, I learned that human activities led to widespread deforestation（滥砍滥伐） and drought in the area, resulting in many dead trees. Driving across the region, I recalled that Sydney was blanketed by smoke for months on end as bushfires swept through the east coast. Fortunately, the La Ni a weather cycle reached Australia, increasing rainfall and causing the continent’s short-lived rivers to spring back to life. Yet, the image of bushfires stayed with me, and I felt driven to do something. That was when the photo Blaze came into being.
I spoke to the local authority, explaining that I hoped to create a “burning” tree as a beacon（灯塔）to draw people’s attention to deforestation. They showed great interest because fire is an integral（不可或缺） part of the Australian farming and the natives.
I connected a few of the gas canisters（罐）generally used for barbecues to flexible gas lines called “slinkies”, which could be wired up the back of the tree, away from the tree and out of sight of the public. These produced an outline of flames（火焰）when I lit them, as if the tree were on fire. It was lit for 15 seconds while I got the shot, and fire-fighting equipment was prepared. Even though the tree was dead, it was still a vital habitat. But the gas flames did no damage and the insects that lived inside were unharmed.
I love that when people look at the photo, they can concretize the delicacy of our natural world while appreciating Blaze.
24. What is the author’s new perception of photography
A. It should carry deep meanings. B. It involves professional skills.
C. It requires high-end equipment. D. It should produce beautiful pictures.
25. What inspired the author to create Blaze
A. Support from the local authority. B. Traditional Australian farming.
C. Scenery of the Menindee lakes. D. Local environmental changes.
26. Which of the following images best illustrates the photo Blaze
27. What is the photo Blaze intended to be
A. A means of enhancing artistic taste. B. A call to raise public awareness.
C. A strategy to beautify the landscape. D. A window to showcase local culture.
C
Farming is undergoing a remarkable transformation thanks to cutting-edge technologies reshaping how fruit is picked and handled. While autonomous drones(无人机) like Tevel’s Flying Robots are already harvesting fruit globally, innovations like UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper represent the next frontier in gentle produce handling. Together, these advancements promise to make fruit production more efficient and precise, though one is a proven solution and the other is a glimpse into farming’s future.
Tevel’s Flying Autonomous Robots (FARs) are redefining fruit harvesting by combining artificial intelligence with advanced computer vision. These drones navigate through orchards(果园), identifying and picking only the fruit that has reached peak ripeness. Their ability to weave carefully around branches allows them to harvest without bruising or harming the trees. Unlike human pickers, these drones can operate continuously, working day and night to get the job done faster and more consistently.
Farmers are empowered by detailed, real-time information about the harvest, including the size, color and ripeness of each fruit, all accessible through a mobile app. This data helps improve harvesting schedules and reduce waste. Multiple drones work together from a mobile platform, covering large orchard areas efficiently.
Beyond picking, these robots also detect diseases and track the location of each fruit bin, providing farmers with valuable insights to manage their crops better.
While Tevel’s drones tackle harvesting, UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper remains in the experimental stage as a solution for post-harvest handling. Inspired by steel measuring tapes, this prototype(原型) uses layered “fingers” to grasp delicate fruits gently. Early tests show promise in handling objects like lemons and tomatoes without damage, but it has yet to be widely adopted in farming.
The gripper’s motorized reels(卷轴) allow its tape-based fingers to extend and convey items like a conveyor belt. Researchers highlight its low cost and safety around humans, but further development is needed to integrate it into commercial packing lines or harvesters.
Tevel’s drones are already transforming orchards, while the GRIP-tape gripper offers a vision of how delicate produce handling could evolve. The combination of real-world automation and experimental robotics highlights both the immediate benefits and long-term potential of agritech innovation.
28. What do we know about FARs
A. They can work around the clock. B. They can identify different fruits.
C. They redefine the artificial intelligence. D. They perform as efficiently as human workers.
29. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The real-time data collected by mobile apps.
B. The attitude of the farmers to Tevel’s drones.
C. The advantages of Tevel’s drones for farmers.
D. The working process of multiple drones in orchards.
30. What can be inferred about UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper
A. It is inspired by human fingers. B. It is widely adopted in farming.
C. It tackles the harvesting process. D. It is cost-effective but still in progress.
31. What’s the writing purpose of this text
A. To promote the use of robotics in farming.
B. To compare two cutting-edge farming tools.
C. To emphasize the long-term potential of drones.
D. To introduce two innovative agricultural technologies.
D
When we sleep, our brain is still actively processing the day’s experiences and integrating them with past memories. Previous studies have identified links between pupil (瞳孔) size and sleep state, as well as between sleep state and memory formation. However, it has been unclear how fresh memories are processed without blurring（模糊）into old ones. For example, how do we learn to play the piano without forgetting how to ride a bike
Researchers at Cornell University addressed this question by attaching brain-scanning electrodes and tiny eye-tracking cameras to mice. They monitored the mice as they learned new tasks during the day, such as navigating a maze（迷宫）, and then observed them during sleep. (Fun fact: mice can sleep with their eyes open.)
The study revealed two distinct substages during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, a critical period for memory formation. One substage replayed new memories, coinciding with narrowed pupils. The other involved recalling older memories, marked by widened pupils. These stages alternated rapidly. The team also discovered that during the narrowed pupil stages, blocking sharp-wave ripples (SWRs) limited the mice’s ability to remember new information.
It is also found that the brain has an intermediate (中间的) period that separates new learning from old knowledge. The results suggest that the brain can multitask distinct cognitive processes during sleep to facilitate continuous learning without interference. It’s like new learning, old knowledge, new learning, old knowledge, shifting slowly throughout sleep.
The implications of the study are far-reaching: such a non-invasive means of monitoring brain function may help treat memory issues and boost memory, for example. The study also supports the hypothesis (假说) that human brains and computer systems may significantly forget old information. Catastrophic forgetting, known in AI, is an area where machines still lag behind biology. What’s more, the findings provide a potential solution for preventing catastrophic interference while enabling memory integration in both biological and artificial neural networks.
Despite the many similarities between human and mouse brains, similar studies need to be conducted in humans to check these results.
32. What do researchers at Cornell University focus on
A. How pupil size is related to sleep state.
B. How people learn to perform new tasks.
C. How memories are kept without interference.
D. How sleep state is connected with memory formation.
33. What is the finding of the study
A. Blocking SWRs removes old memories.
B. The brain processes new memories first.
C. Widened pupil is associated with replaying new memories.
D. A transitional stage distinguishes old memories from new ones.
34. The underlined phrase “catastrophic forgetting” in the fifth paragraph most likely refers to ______.
A. the gradual weakening of long-term memories
B. temporary confusion between similar memories
C. the complete loss of old skills while learning new ones
D. the brain’s natural process of discarding（丢弃）useless memories
35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. Role of Sleep in Memory and Learning.
B. Code of Memory Integration in Sleep.
C. Pupil Size: A Window into Human Brain.
D. A Breakthrough: How Mice Sleep with Eyes Open.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Humans have evolved to spend long periods doing physical exercise. ___36___ The complexity of the human brain is to blame.
Evolving an ability doesn’t automatically mean we’ll want to use it. While physical exercise isn’t that bad, it’s still typically unpleasant. ___37___ It calculates the effort required for actions and tends to stop us from misusing vital resources on fruitless efforts, like walking over 30 km for a handful of berries.
The thing is, regular exercise to get “in shape” needs constant and considerable effort. ___38___ So, your brain has a tendency to ask this question, “Is it worth it ” This particular feature also means we typically prefer things which offer minimum effort for maximum reward.
Thankfully, the human brain is a complex organ. It isn’t ruled by its more primitive drives. While many species’ thought processes are limited to “Food, eat it!”, “Danger, run!”, “Pain, avoid!”, we’ve evolved beyond that. ___39___ We can imagine a desirable future scenario (设想), figure out how we’d achieve it, and do just that. Or at least work toward it. This directly impacts how our brain processes motivation and willpower. We can recognize that rejecting a reward now can lead to a greater reward later, and act accordingly.
As far as your brain is concerned, there are processes that discourage exercise, and processes that encourage it. ___40___
A. So how does the brain process motivation
B. But why doesn’t everyone enjoy exercising
C. It is for gradual progress and uncertain rewards.
D. Our brains can form long-term goals and ambitions.
E. The human brain is highly sensitive to wasted effort.
F. Most people have the habit of doing physical exercise.
G. Ideally, you’ll end up putting more weight on the latter than the former.

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
At the age of 30, I resigned to start my own business. I felt like I was on the right path. I was busy making plans happen. For months, I kept myself moving. Even when I wasn’t working, I was thinking about work. There was never enough time, and I was afraid that if I stopped to relax, I might let someone down. But the more I worked, the less I seemed to get done.
When I started to feel really tired, I told myself I just needed to work harder and get more organized. But something was wrong. I was very tired and my body hurt all over. My smart watch kept buzzing (嗡嗡声), telling me my heart was beating too fast. I had tried hard to be healthy—I stopped drinking, changed my diet, and lost weight. I thought things would get better, but they didn’t.
Finally, I went to a doctor. “How’s your stress ” the doctor asked. I didn’t think I was very stressed, but tests showed I had a disease called Graves’ disease, which can get worse because of stress.
The next day, I ran into an old friend, Cindy. We hadn’t seen each other for a while, and Cindy looked at me with concern. “You look tired. I don’t know how you are doing, but you seem to be wearing out.”
“Things have been a bit crazy lately,” I admitted.
“Maybe it’s time to take a break,” Cindy suggested. As we said goodbye, she added, “It was good to see you. You’ve lost weight. Make sure you take care of yourself.” She waved and left.
Reflecting on my previous behavior, I realized I had been missing the simple pleasures in life ― the little but meaningful things that help me relax and recharge, like bonding with my family, engaging in community activities to help those in need, interacting with friends and visiting my favorite bookstore.
Days later, Cindy called and asked, “There’s a charity event dedicated to helping the left-behind children and elderly people who live alone in our community this weekend. Would you like to go with me and offer your help ”
