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.
24. What can be learned about Wesley from paragraph 2
A. He showed early technical interest. B. He won a robotics competition.
C. He taught himself advanced physics. D. He preferred theory to practice.
25. What advantage did Wesley demonstrate when improving his robot
A. He learnt from partners quickly. B. He combined different subjects well.
C. He was expert at mechanical repair. D. 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.
27. Which word best describes Wesley
A. Considerate. B. Organized. C. Humble. D. Determined.
C
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 AI4, 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.
28. What’s Hinton’s attitude to tech companies’ keeping humans dominant over AI systems
A. 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
D
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.
二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
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.
A. Then comes the movement.
B. There is a good reason for that.
C. Diamond push-ups fit different fitness levels perfectly.
D. But push-ups are not something you should do every day.
E. If you want to advance further, you can make push-ups harder.
F. It is all about keeping your body in line and controlling your movements.
G. Getting proper push-up form right prevents injury when building body strength.

【答案】18. C 19. B 20. A
【原文】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.

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.
24. What can be learned about Wesley from paragraph 2
A. He showed early technical interest. B. He won a robotics competition.
C. He taught himself advanced physics. D. He preferred theory to practice.
25. What advantage did Wesley demonstrate when improving his robot
A. He learnt from partners quickly. B. He combined different subjects well.
C. He was expert at mechanical repair. D. 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.
27. Which word best describes Wesley
A. Considerate. B. Organized. C. Humble. D. Determined.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. D
C
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 AI4, 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.
28. What’s Hinton’s attitude to tech companies’ keeping humans dominant over AI systems
A. 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
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. B 31. C
D
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.
A. Then comes the movement.
B. There is a good reason for that.
C. Diamond push-ups fit different fitness levels perfectly.
D. But push-ups are not something you should do every day.
E. If you want to advance further, you can make push-ups harder.
F. It is all about keeping your body in line and controlling your movements.
G. Getting proper push-up form right prevents injury when building body strength.

Thank you!
【答案】 Hello everyone! It's my honor to represent my group to summarize our discussion.
Our group believes translation pens can be beneficial in English learning. Translation pens can help us quickly understand the meaning of words and sentences, saving time. They offer instant translations, which is great for quickly grasping the meaning of new words while reading. This helps boost reading speed and comprehension. Moreover, they can serve as a convenient language learning aid when we’re short on time or in a hurry. However, we should avoid overusing them to ensure we still practice our own language skills.
Thank you!
