Hello everyone! It's my honor to represent my group to summarize our discussion.
Our group believes that translation pens can be a helpful tool for English learners if used wisely. First, they can improve learning efficiency by providing instant translations for unfamiliar words and phrases, which allows learners to focus more on understanding and using the language. Second, translation pens are particularly useful for beginners who may feel frustrated when encountering too many unknown words, which saves time compared to flipping through a dictionary. With their assistance, learners can build confidence and gradually expand their vocabulary. Moreover, some advanced translation pens offer additional functions, such as pronunciation guidance and sentence examples, which further enhance learning. However, we also think it's important to avoid over-reliance on translation pens. Students should aim to develop their independent thinking and comprehension skills in English, rather than simply depending on the device.
In conclusion, while translation pens can be a valuable aid in English learning, they should be used as a supplement rather than a substitute.Thank you!

W: Hi David. Are you going on holiday next Monday, like you said
M: Actually, I’m leaving for Xi’an this Saturday.
W: Cool. I can’t get away until late this month, though.
Text 2
M: Mrs Lee, could you offer some advice on improving this article I got a B.
W: Overall, it’s quite good. The grammar is spot-on, and you’ve hit all the main points. The problem is the frequently repeated content. You could have said everything in just two pages.
Text 3
W: I can’t believe it, Matt. The TV is working perfectly now. You should get a medal for this!
M: Just a piece of cake. It’s much easier than preparing for an exam.
Text 4
W: Henry, I just finished an interview. They said they would make a decision shortly.
M: Do you think you can get the job offer
W: Honestly, I think I have a pretty good shot. I believe I’ve left a positive impression.
Text 5
W: It’s still early. You’ll stay at the railway station for ages.
M: Don’t worry; I’ll bring a book to read.
W: But it’s too noisy to read there.
M: Well, if I can’t get into the book, I might listen to some music.
Text 6
M: Hey Tina. This is Ben. I’m sorry to tell you something about our appointment.
W: OK, what’s going on
M: I’m afraid that I’ll be a little late tonight. Remember I said earlier that I would pick you up at 5:00 Something came up at work, and now it looks like I won’t be there until around a quarter to seven.
W: Alright, don’t worry. The movie begins at 8:00, so we’ve got plenty of time. I’ll wait for you.
M: Great. Get a bite to eat before I arrive, will you
W: Sure thing. I’ll do that.
Text 7
W: Steve, you seem down. What’s up
M: Hey, Vivian. I’m at a crossroads. My uncle offered me a well-paying job as a lead engineer at his service station.
W: That’s wonderful, but does that mean you’ll quit college
M: That’s the problem. Part of me says, “Go ahead! You can return to college later. How often does such a great offer come up right after college ”
W: And the other part
M: The other part reminds me, “You joined the army to set yourself up for college and more opportunities ahead. You’ve built your whole life around this plan. Now what ”
W: I see. Your military experience would make you great at car repairs if you take that job. But you’re doing well in college. Think long-term — college opens doors to better jobs.
Text 8
M: Ugh ... so tired after just five minutes of running. I’d rather just lie on the sofa.
W: No wonder I never see you here. I frequently come and work my muscles.
M: It’s not my thing. Even when doctors recommend getting two hours of exercise a week, it doesn’t exactly inspire me.
W: Don’t be discouraged. A new study suggests getting benefits from exercise might not be so demanding. A professor at Harvard looked into how much exercise lowers the risk of heart attacks for the study.
M: Sounds interesting. What’s the finding
W: The study showed that people exercising for 300 minutes a week had a 20% lower risk of dying from heart disease. And even 150 minutes lowered it by 14%.
M: What about half that, like what I probably do Does that help
W: Of course. Even 15 minutes of exercise can make a difference.
M: That’s a relief! Thanks for your sharing.
Text 9
M: Hey, is that you, Lisa
W: Alex! I can’t believe I’m running into you here. How I miss our high school days!
M: Same here. It feels like we were in the same classroom yesterday. How are you doing
W: Not bad. I’m at my dream university now. I started in physics, but quickly realized it wasn’t my thing. Then I switched to environmental science, and I’m loving it.
M: That’s awesome. Are you working on any cool projects
W: Yes, I’m on a team exploring local wastewater solutions. That’s what brings me here today — looking for some tech to help with our research. What about you
M: There’s a talk on AI in healthcare, which relates to my studies on machine learning at college.
W: Sounds great. Will you go into AI after graduation
M: Definitely. I’m pretty optimistic about this field.
W: Why are you so confident about it
M: Well, AI is being used everywhere now — healthcare, education, transportation and beyond. I’m sure AI will be the future of so many industries.
W: That sounds promising. I hope it works out for you!
Text 10
W: Dear friends, today let’s learn something from the experience of a young girl named Lily. Lately, Lily has been feeling uneasy about her friends’ behavior. They laugh at her jokes, but she can’t shake the feeling that there’s no real connection there. She’s always tried to please others, saying what they want to hear and acting in ways that she thinks will make them like her. Yet, she’s starting to wonder if this truly helps win friends’ hearts.
　Lily’s confusion reflects the difference between offering emotional value and pleasing others. Emotional value involves showing concern for others in a healthy manner, like being an attentive listener or providing encouragement when needed. When we provide emotional value, we care for others’ well-being while also respecting our own feelings and values. On the other hand, pleasing others often means ignoring our own limits just to avoid disagreement. This approach offers little benefit, as it prevents us from being true to ourselves or satisfying our own emotional needs.
　By offering emotional value, we can build deeper, more meaningful relationships. Always pleasing others, however, can leave us feeling empty and tired. It’s important to strike a balance between staying true to ourselves and offering support to those around us.
答案详解
A篇【 语篇导读】 这是一篇应用文，主要介绍了一个旨在提升情感和自我价值的培训课程。
21．C 推理判断题。根据Who Should Attend 部分中的 “This masterclass is perfect for anyone looking to strengthen their emotional intelligence, improve their confidence, and step into their potential."可知，寻求增强情商、提高自信、发挥潜力的人适合该课程，故希望管理情绪的人最适合该课程。故选C。
22. C 细节理解题。根据Details部分中的Time:10 a.m.和 Duration: 6 hours可计算出课程结束的时间。 故选C。
23. B 细节理解题。根据Masterclass Highlights部分中的Interactive workshops with guided exercises可知，参加课程的人会有讨论和练习。 故选B。
B篇【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了少年Wesley将修理旧物的爱好发展为机器人技术的真实故事。他在资金匮乏的情况下，巧妙利用旧零件并应用所学知识成功改造机器。虽未赢得冠军，但其临场解决问题的卓越能力和创新精神赢得了评委的认可，并因此获得了进入州实验室学习的宝贵机会。
24. A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“Since age 12, he’s loved taking apart old toys and rebuilding them”可知Wesley从12岁起就喜欢拆解旧玩具并重新组装，这表明他很早对技术就有兴趣。故选A。
25. B 【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段“ He also integrated his homework — applying math to calculate speed and physics to improve balance”可知Wesley在改进机器人时，将数学和物理知识应用到实践中，这表明他能够很好地结合不同学科的知识。故选B。
26. D 【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段“ Remembering Torres’ advice, he quickly used his laptop, adjusted the code to cut the sensor’s response time by half, and restarted the robot. ”和第五段“ Judges were deeply impressed by what he did that day. They invited him to a State Robotics Lab summer program, where he’ll work with engineers on robots for people with disabilities. ”可知，在比赛现场Wesley通过调整代码来缩短传感器的响应时间，使机器人能够顺利完成任务。正是这种现场的创造性解决方案给评委留下了深刻印象，并使他获得了参加暑期项目的邀请。故选D。
27. D 【解析】推理判断题。文章第三段谈到面对传感器损坏且无钱更换的巨大困难，他意志坚定，花了十天时间不懈努力，最终解决了问题。这种“决心”和“ 毅力”是贯穿全文的主线。由此可推知 '用“ Determined ”来形容Wesley是最合适的。故选D。
C篇【 语篇导读】 本文是一篇说明文。AI 领域先驱 Geoffrey Hinton 警告称，他协助研发的 AI技术可能危及人类生存。Hinton认为，未来AI系统或将如成人用糖果哄骗幼儿般轻易操控人类。为避免 AI 取代人类，他提出在AI模型中融入“母性本能”使AI真正关心人类。Hinton强调，尽管技术实现尚不明晰，但研究人员必须致力于此，以确保AI发展符合人类利益。
28. B 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段 Hinton在行业会议上的发言 “They’re going to be much smarter than us. They’re going to have all sorts of ways to get around that” 可知，'Hinton认为AI系统将比人类更聪明，并且会找到各种方法来绕过人类的控制，这表明他对科技公司试图确保人类在AI系统中保持“主导地位”的方法持否定态度。故选 B。
29. A 【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段 Hinton 提到的“ To avoid being replaced, one AI model tried to threaten an engineer about an affair it learned about in an e-mail ” 可推知Hinton通过举例说明AI系统已经出现了欺骗和盗窃的行为，来支持他的观点。故选 A。
30. B 【解析】 细节理解题。根据第四段 Hinton 提出的解决方案“building maternal instincts (母性本能) into AI models, which means that they really care about people ”可知，Hinton希望下一代AI能够具备“母性本能”'即真正关心人类。故选B。
31. C 【解析】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，Hinton主要讨论了AI系统可能对人类构成的威胁，并提出了通过在AI模型中构建“母性本能”来解决这一问题的观点。由此可推知， C项最适合作文章标题。故选C。
D篇【 语篇导读】这是一篇议论文。作者认为虽然智商测试遭到很多质疑，但是因为其专业性、精确性和与其它测试结合的全面性，智商测试依然是可靠的。
32. A 【解析】词句猜测题。根据第一段第四句“Yet intelligence researchers are at pains to ensure that IQ tests are fair and not culturally biased.”(然而，智力研究人员正在努力确保智商测试是公平的而且没有文化偏见。)中的yet可知，此处是指尽管Russell Warne认为智商测试对某些群体是有偏见的这种说法是不准确的，但是智力研究人员还是正在努力确保智商测试是公平的而且没有文化偏见。所以biased against意为“对……有偏见”，也就是“不利于”。故选A。
33. D 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段第三句“Despite the criticism, the intelligence test is one of the most reliable tests ever invented”(尽管受到了批评，智力测验还是有史以来最可靠的测验之一)可知，Rex Jung认为智力测验是值得信赖的。故选D。
34. A 【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“However, it is rare for examiners to test IQ independently: candidates might be given a personality test too and a practical exercise to assess job-related skills. They usually also have to name several professionals to judge.”(然而，考官独立测试智商的情况并不多见：考生可能也会接受一次人格测试和一次实践练习，以评估与工作相关的技能。他们通常还得让几个专业人士来判断。)可知，智商测试会结合其它测试来评估与工作相关的技能，所以准确度相对较高，评估较全面，因此可能仍然会被使用。故选A。
35. D 【解析】主旨大意题。文章第一段提出Russell Warne认为对智商测试的一些负面评价是不准确的，第二段提出虽然智商测试经常引起分歧，但它依然是可靠的，第三段提出智商测试是很专业的，精确度很高，第四段提出虽然智商测试在一些特殊应用上受到质疑，但是因为会结合其它方面的测试，所以依然是可靠的。所以整篇文章是在讨论智商测试是否真的有用。故选D。
七选五【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了做俯卧撑的好处和方法。
36. B 【解析】上文提到俯卧撑广泛应用于多种训练场景，下文具体说明其增强多部位肌肉的效果。B项 “这背后有充分的原因。” 自然承接上文，引出下文对效果的解释，形成因果关系。故选B。
37. D 【解析】 下文强调“充分休息避免肌肉过度使用”，并建议每周3-4 次的频率。D项“但俯卧撑不应每天进行。”通过转折引出休息的必要性，与下文建议形成逻辑衔接。故选D
38. F 【解析】上文提问“何为正确的俯卧撑姿势”'下文详细描述手部位置、核心收紧等动作要点。F项 “关键在于保持身体呈直线并控制动作。” 精准概括了姿势核心，与上下文细节呼应。故选F。
39. A 【解析】上文已描述准备姿势( 手部位置、核心 收紧) ，下文开始讲解“下落—推起”的具体动作流程。A项“接下来是动作环节。”作为过渡，自然引出动作步骤的说明。故选 A
40. E 【解析】本空上文提到如果你还没有准备好做传统的俯卧撑，可以先从膝盖着地开始。本空下文举例说明了一些更难的俯卧撑变体，如钻石俯卧撑。 因此，本空应该在谈如何增加俯卧撑的难度，E项 “如果你想更进一步，可以让俯卧撑更难。”与下文内容相呼应'介绍了增加难度的方法。故选E。
完形填空【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者一家搬离亚利桑那州到新的地方生活，从对旧友的不舍到感受到新邻居的温暖，最后意识到搬家只是生活小插曲，离别不是失去，而是新的获得！
41.D根据空前的“...we were moving to another state."可知，搬家要收拾行李，故推知丈夫开着满载行李的(loaded)货车行驶在前面。
42.C根据空白处后的“..at the thought of departure. How could I leave behind my extended family...”可知，作者一想到要离开就心痛难过(ache)。
43.A根据空白处后的places I’d known all my life可知，作者想表达的是离开熟悉的(familiar)地方。
44.B根据前文，这里应指moving away from friends I'd known since high school这件事最让作者心情沉重(weigh), weigh on sb为固定搭配，意为 “使担忧；加重.....的心理负担”。
45.B根据上文作者搬家的信息可知，这里表达的是没几天时间，作者的新生活开始有了模样 (take shape), 即进入正轨了。
46.C根据下文打招呼的信息可知，这里应表达的是有一天，一个老太太带着一篮子食物来到(come over)了作者家。
47.D根据上文可知，老太太介绍自已是住在后面的邻居，并对作者说：“我们想欢迎你住到这个社区”。因此推知老太太在友好地 (kindly) 与作者交谈。
48.A 前文提到老太太为作者送来了食物并很友好地表达了关心，因此这里表达的应是作者感受到了温暖和情感的联结(connection)。
49.B前文提到作者一家不久就开始了新生活，因此这里应说的是作者给女儿报名上了新学校，丈夫也就任 (take up) 高速巡逻队的工作。
50.A根据上文老太太的拜访以及冒号后的举例可推知，邻居们一个接一个地来拜访，总是带着一些东西来与作者分享(share)。
51.D根据下文的charity work可知，作者自己已开始在女儿的学校进行志愿服务(volunteer)工作。
52.C前文提到作者第一次搬家时很难过，但之后邻居的热情帮助和社区的接纳让她逐渐适应了环境，由此可推知作者虽然再次搬家了，但她的态度变得更加积极了，故enthusiasm符合语境。
53.B本空呼应上文 “Wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood", 表示再一次发生了同样的情况，即当地的人们热情地欢迎 (welcome) 了作者一家。
54.A上文作者提到了 “Girls can become friends anywhere.” 因此作者才说搬家只是换了一个地方(location) 而已。
55.A根据上文可知，作者对搬家有了心态上的转变，因此这里作者应该是领悟到她并没有失去 (lose)老朋友，还结交了更多的新朋友。
语法填空【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一位外国友人在北京的生活经历，这段经历是一次充满了敬畏、挑战和成长的发现之旅，给他留下终生难忘的记忆。
56.stronger考查比较级。句中grew是系动词，表示“逐渐变得”。根据时间状语day by day可知情绪日益强烈，因此动词后需使用比较级stronger。
57.with考查介词。根据上下文可知，空白处考查with的用法，本句后半句为with的复合结构“with+宾语+宾补”。
58.determined考查词性转换。be determined to do sth为固定句式。
59.historic/historical考查词性转换。此处应用形容词修饰名词sites，故填historic / historical, 意为“具有历史意义的/历史的”。
60.To support 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空白处应使用不定式作目的状语。
61.a考查冠词。experience此处表示“经历”，为可数名词，这里指“教英语是一段.....的经历”，表泛指。
unique为辅音音素开头，故填a。
62.incredibly考查词性转换。空白处修饰形容词respectful，故填副词incredibly。
63.appreciation考查词性转换。形容词性物主代词their后应填名词，故填appreciation。
64. when定语从句/关系副词。先行词为times，空白处指代 times，且在从句中作时间状语，故填关系副词when。
65.made考查谓语动词。空白处指的是作者在中国生活期间所留下的回忆，因此应使用一般过去时，与文章整体的时态保持一致。

The path to turning a hobby into something meaningful isn’t smooth. 17-year-old Wesley Finn from a small Oregon town knows this well.
Since age 12, he’s loved taking apart old toys and rebuilding them — from broken RC cars to old alarm clocks. He’d spend hours figuring out how cogs (齿轮) fit and why batteries power motors, and by high school, he made simple devices for his family, like a night-light phone stand. Last year, when he heard about the State High School Robotics Design Competition — where students build robots to do practical tasks, like moving small objects and avoiding barriers — he knew he had to join.
But two weeks before the competition, a major issue arose: The robot’s primary sensor, essential for detecting barriers, broke. Unable to afford a replacement, Wesley sought help from Mr.Torres, his robotics teacher. Rather than buying new parts, Torres suggested reusing sensors from old robots. Over the next ten days, Wesley worked tirelessly after school, taking apart an older robot, adapting its sensor, and reprogramming it for better response. He also integrated his homework—applying math to calculate speed and physics to improve balance — ensuring his robot could function smoothly.
On competition day, Wesley faced a difficult task: Robots had to move three blocks between tables while avoiding barriers. At first, his robot had trouble — the old sensor was too slow and almost hit the barriers twice. Remembering Torres’ advice, he quickly used his laptop, adjusted the code to cut the sensor’s response time by half, and restarted the robot. This time, it moved around the barriers smoothly, picked up all the blocks, and placed them exactly where needed.
Wesley didn’t win first — he got second — but the experience mattered more than a prize. Judges were deeply impressed by what he did that day. They invited him to a State Robotics Lab summer program, where he’ll work with engineers on robots for people with disabilities.
What can be learned about Wesley from paragraph 2
He showed early technical interest.
He won a robotics competition.
He taught himself advanced physics.
He preferred theory to practice.
25. What advantage did Wesley demonstrate when improving his robot
He learned from partners quickly.
He combined different subjects well.
He was expert at mechanical repair.
He invented new types of sensors.
26. What made Wesley gain the invitation to the summer program
A. His final competition ranking.
B. His teacher’s strong recommendation.
C. His advanced robotic design.
D. His on-site creative solutions to problems.

Geoffrey Hinton, known as the “godfather of AI”, fears the technology he helped build could wipe out humanity.
Hinton, a Nobel Prize-winning computer scientist, has warned in the past that there is a 10% to 20% chance that AI wipes out humans. At Al4, an industry conference in Las Vegas, he expressed something about how tech companies are trying to ensure humans remain “dominant” over “submissive” AI systems. “They’re going to be much smarter than us. They’re going to have all sorts of ways to get around that,” Hinton said.
In the future, Hinton warned, AI systems might be able to control humans just as easily as an adult can persuade 3-year-old with candy. This year has already seen cases of AI systems willing to cheat and steal to achieve their goals. “To avoid being replaced, one AI model tried to threaten an engineer about an affair it learned about in an e-mail,” Hinton explained.
Instead of forcing AI to submit to humans, Hinton presented an interesting solution: building maternal instincts (母性本能) into AI models, which means that “they really care about people” even once the technology becomes more powerful and smarter than humans. “AI systems will very quickly develop two subgoals, if they’re smart: One is to stay alive; the other is to get more control,” Hinton said. “There is good reason to believe that any kind of autonomous AI will try to stay alive.”
“That’s why it is important to develop a sense of sympathy for people,” Hinton argued. At the conference, he noted that mothers have instincts and social pressure to care for their babies, “The right model is the only model we have of a more intelligent thing being controlled by a less intelligent thing, which is a mother being controlled by her baby,” Hinton said.
Hinton said it’s not clear to him exactly how that can be done technically but stressed it’s critical that researchers work on it.
What’s Hinton’s attitude to tech companies’ keeping humans dominant over AI systems
Unclear. B. Disapproving.
C. Appreciative. D. Supportive.
29. How did Hinton prove his point of view about AI’s threat
A. By giving an example. B. By quoting an engineer.
C. By making a comparison. D. By offering research results.
30. What does Hinton expect next-generation AI to do
A. Submit to human control. B. Show concern for humans.
C. Become smarter than before. D. Gain more power over humans.
31. What’s the best title for the text
A. Will AI Benefit Humanity
B. Is AI a Threat to Our Control
C. Can AI Learn to Love Humans
D. Can AI Really Cheat Humans

Russell Warne has spent many hours examining college psychology textbooks. As a professor of psychology at Utah Valley University, he wasn’t looking for insight, but for mistakes — and he found plenty. Some of the worst concerned IQ tests. “The most common inaccuracy I found, by far, was the claim that intelligence tests are biased against certain groups,” he says. Yet intelligence researchers are at pains to ensure that IQ tests are fair and not culturally biased. “Another very common one was the idea that intelligence is difficult to measure.”
No wonder IQ tests often cause disagreements. But that simply isn’t the case. “Despite the criticism, the intelligence test is one of the most reliable tests ever invented,” says Rex Jung at the University of New Mexico. Nevertheless, you shouldn’t trust the kind of 10-minute test that might pop up in your Facebook feed.
A comprehensive IQ test takes over an hour and is ideally administered by a professional examiner. It is designed to assess precisely those cognitive (认知的) skills that constitute intelligence, so consists of a series of subtests that cover reasoning, mental processing speed, spatial (空间的) ability and more. Shorter IQ tests, assessing fewer of these skills, can still provide a general indication of someone’s mental abilities, however, because the nature of intelligence means that someone who scores highly on one type of cognitive test will also do comparatively well on others.
However, particular applications of IQ tests have faced a thorough inspection. A common criticism of using them to select job applicants is that they only measure certain cognitive skills. They don’t scientifically measure creativity, for instance. Neither do they measure personality, which tends to make for reliable and hard-working employees — or ability to get on with other people. However, it is rare for examiners to test IQ independently: candidates might be given a personality test too and a practical exercise to assess job-related skills. They usually also have to name several professionals to judge.
32. What does the underlined words “biased against” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Unfavorable for. B. Irrelevant to.
C. Unfamiliar to. D. Irresponsible for.
33. What does Rex Jung think of the intelligence tests
A. They are inaccurate. B. They are precisely designed.
C. They are properly used. D. They are trustworthy.
34. What can we infer about IQ tests in the last paragraph
A. They may still be employed. B. They are heavily criticized.
C. They are rarely accepted. D. They can motivate creativity.
35. What is the author’s central argument in the passage
A. IQ tests are widely applied in practical fields.
B. IQ tests can shape an individual's personality.
C. Textbooks often spread psychological misinformation.
D. IQ tests are scientifically sound despite criticisms.

Push-ups are a very effective and useful exercise. They are often used in strength training, boot camps and high-intensity circuit workouts. 36 Push-ups can make many parts of your body stronger. They work your chest, shoulders, triceps ,and core muscles. This makes them a great way to build strength and keep your body stable.
37 If you don’t rest well after doing them, you might get hurt from using the same muscles too much. Instead, it’s better to do them three or four times a week. This gives your muscles time to recover and grow. After all, your body needs some time to get better after this kind of exercise.
Before you dive into the many benefits of doing push-ups, it’s important to lock down proper form first. What’s good push-up form 38
When doing push-ups, put your hands a little wider than your shoulders, with your fingers pointing forward. Tighten your core to keep your body straight from your head to your heels. If your hips (臀部) start to drop towards the floor, it may mean your core muscles need more practice to get stronger. 39
Slowly lower your body until your chest almost touches the ground. Your elbows (肘部) should make a 45-degree angle with your body. Then push yourself back up slowly. Don’t lock your elbows.
The best part about push-ups is that you can change their difficulty. If you’re not ready to do a traditional push-up, you can drop down to your knees. 40 For example, diamond push-ups. They are more difficult because they work your triceps more than your chest.
Then comes the movement.
There is a good reason for that.
Diamond push-ups fit different fitness levels perfectly.
But push-ups are not something you should do every day.
If you want to advance further, you can make push-ups harder.
It is all about keeping your body in line and controlling your movements.
Getting proper push-up form right prevents injury when building body strength.
