解题思路
1. 细节理解题 - 精准定位，一字一句
核心目标：查找并确认文中明确表述的特定信息。
解题技巧：
关键词定位法：阅读题干，圈定人名、地名、数字、日期、专有名词等关键标识词，迅速返回原文查找。
同义替换意识：正确答案往往不是原文原词，而是进行同义转述。例如，原文是 “The project was initiated in 2020”，选项可能是 “The project started three years ago” (假设当前是2023年)。
“题文同序”原则：题目顺序通常与信息在文中出现的顺序一致，可帮助缩小查找范围。
警惕干扰项：常见干扰项设计包括：张冠李戴、无中生有、偷换概念（如改变时态、情态动词）、绝对化表述（如only, never, all）。
2. 推理判断题 - 读出“弦外之音”
核心目标：基于文本事实，进行合理逻辑推导，揣测作者意图、观点或隐含意义。
解题技巧：
立足文本，拒绝臆想：所有推断必须有文本依据，不能脱离文章凭常识或个人经验判断。
关注“信号词”：
表因果：because, since, as a result, therefore, thus → 可推断事件原因或结果。
表转折：but, however, yet, unfortunately → 可推断作者的真实态度或强调的重点。
表让步：although, though, while → 可推断矛盾双方的主次。
识别作者观点：注意区分客观事实与作者主观评价。表达观点态度的词汇常为形容词（e.g., successful, promising, disappointing）、副词（e.g., unfortunately, hopefully）或引用他人评价。
结论合理性：正确选项通常是 “温水煮青蛙”式的温和结论，如 “The method is promising but requires further testing.” 而过于绝对、极端或跨越文本信息的选项通常不选。
3. 主旨大意题 - 高屋建瓴，把握全局
核心目标：抓住文章的中心思想或选择最贴切的标题。
解题技巧：
首尾段定位法：新闻报道的导语（首段）和结尾段通常是主旨的高度概括，必须精读。
主题句定位法：段落的首句或尾句常是该段的主题句。将各段主题句串联起来，有助于归纳全文主旨。
核心词复现法：贯穿全文、反复出现的关键词或其同义词，是确定主旨的重要线索。
标题甄选原则：最佳标题应具备概括性、针对性和吸引性。它必须覆盖全文核心，不能只涉及局部细节，同时要符合新闻标题简洁、醒目的特点。范围过大或过小的选项都不选。
4. 词义猜测题 - 顺藤摸瓜，巧用语境
核心目标：利用上下文线索推测生词或短语的含义。
解题技巧：
寻找定义或解释：作者有时会使用同位语、定语从句或直接解释生词。线索词：that is, meaning, refer to, namely, in other words,破折号、括号。
利用举例：例子往往能揭示词义。线索词：such as, for example, like, including。
利用对比或类比关系：通过反义词或相似事物来推测。线索词：but, however, unlike, on the contrary, similarly, like。
利用因果关系：从原因或结果推断词义。线索词：because, since, as a result, therefore, thus, so。构词法分析：将单词拆解前缀、词根、后缀来帮助理解。

A Florida doctor successfully operated on a patient 7,000 miles away in Africa, using a remote-controlled robot. The patient, Fernando Da Silva, who lives in Angola, needed the surgery to treat cancer.
In a robotic surgical procedure, the surgeon does not touch the patient. Instead, the doctor moves their hands to control smaller robotic hands that hold surgical instruments and work on the patient. When the doctor moves their hands around, the robotic hands move in the same way.
Da Silva’s procedure, called “transcontinental robotic telesurgery”, was performed by Dr. Vipul Patel. Seated at a robotic console(控制台) with a 3D screen and highly responsive hand controls, Patel’s movements were transmitted through fiber-optic cables that run under the ocean to robotic arms in the operating room in Angola. Fiber-optic technology transmits data faster and farther than other communication methods.
1． What made Dr. Patel’s surgery on Silva unusual
A．The patient controlled the robotic tools.
B．The surgery was for a rare type of cancer.
C．It was a transcontinental robotic operation.
D．It required no assistance from any medical team.
2． How does fiber-optic technology aid the surgery
A．Providing 3D visual feedback to the patient.
B．Powering the robotic arms in the operating room.
C．Ensuring real-time control from a remote location.
D．Reducing the cost of long-distance communication.
【答案】1．C 2．C

The Xiaomi SU7 Accidents: Who Is to Blame
In late March 2025, a Xiaomi SU7 Standard Edition crashed into a concrete barrier on a highway in Anhui, triggering widespread debate over liability for smart car accidents. Weeks later, multiple SU7 owners reported collisions during automatic parking, with Xiaomi confirming software bugs as a contributing factor. These incidents have cast doubt on the safety of new-energy vehicles (NEVs) and the blurred lines of responsibility in the age of intelligent driving.
The highway crash unfolded at 22:44 on March 29. The vehicle, traveling at 116km/h in NOA (Navigation on Autopilot) mode, encountered a construction zone where lanes were diverted using barriers. Xiaomi’s statement noted the car detected obstacles, issued warnings, and began decelerating, yet just 2 seconds later, the driver took over manually. Despite continued braking, the SU7 hit the barrier at approximately 97km/h, leading to fatalities.
Key controversies emerged immediately. First, the 2-second window for driver intervention sparked questions about NOA’s design. At 116km/h, the car covers roughly 64 meters in 2 seconds, while the SU7’s official 100km/h braking distance is 33.5 meters, but this is under ideal test conditions, not nighttime highway scenarios with sudden lane changes. Second, the SU7 Standard’s AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) system only responds to vehicles, pedestrians, and two-wheelers, failing to detect construction barriers. Experts pointed out that this limitation left the driver solely reliant on split-second reactions.
The automatic parking incidents added another layer of complexity. In mid-November 2025, owners across China described the SU7 veering into other cars or pillars during automated parking. One driver reported two consecutive failures: “The first time it rushed toward a vehicle; the second time, it hit a column without any collision warning.” Xiaomi’s customer service acknowledged software bugs but emphasized drivers must “take over immediately” if obstacles like bushes or wires are present — limitations not prominently disclosed in marketing materials.
1． What contributed to the highway crash, according to the passage
A．The SU7’s failure to issue obstacle warnings
B．The insufficient braking distance of the SU7 Standard
C．The driver’s delayed response within the given time window
D．The AEB system’s inability to detect construction barriers
2． Why did the automatic parking incidents raise public concern
A．Xiaomi’s marketing materials hid the function’s limitations
B．The software bugs were caused by recent OTA updates
C．The ultrasonic radar failed to detect all types of obstacles
D．Drivers were unable to take over due to system malfunctions
【答案】1．D 2．A
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章围绕小米SU7系列事故展开，分析高速碰撞、自动泊车故障等事件的原因，探讨智能汽车事故中责任划分的复杂性。
1．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Second, the SU7 Standard’s AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) system only responds to vehicles, pedestrians, and two-wheelers, failing to detect construction barriers.(其次，小米SU7标准版的自动紧急制动系统仅对车辆、行人及两轮车作出反应，无法检测到施工护栏)”可知，自动紧急制动系统无法识别施工护栏是造成高速碰撞事故的原因之一。故选D项。
2．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Xiaomi’s customer service acknowledged software bugs but emphasized drivers must “take over immediately” if obstacles like bushes or wires are present — limitations not prominently disclosed in marketing materials.(小米客服承认存在软件漏洞，但强调若存在灌木或电线等障碍物，驾驶员必须“立即接管车辆”—— 这些限制在营销材料中并未重点说明)”可知，自动泊车事故引发公众关注是因为小米的营销材料隐瞒了该功能的局限性。故选A项。

As an audio engineer with two decades of experience, Patrick Helen has long been captivated by how sound shapes human emotion. But it was a 2018 encounter with a deaf teenager — who described music as “a blank space” despite feeling bass vibrations at concerts — that sparked his mission: to turn invisible sound into tangible touch, letting the hearing-impaired “hear” music through their skin.
After three years of research and development (R&D) and 117 prototype iterations, Helen unveiled the TactiSound Suit in 2021. The lightweight, wearable suit is embedded with 24 micro-vibration sensors, each calibrated to capture distinct sound frequencies: low bass notes trigger gentle rumblings in the waistband, mid-range melodies pulse on the forearms, and high-pitched harmonies create subtle vibrations near the shoulders. A wireless receiver connects the suit to any audio source — from concert speakers to smartphones — converting sound waves into precise tactile signals in real time.
For the deaf and hard of hearing, the suit is transformative. In a 2023 trial at Peterborough’s Royal National Institute for Deaf People, 89% of participants reported “feeling the structure of music” for the first time. Mia Carter, a 19-year-old deaf student, described her experience at a classical concert: “The violin’s vibrato moved up my arm like a breath, and the cello’s bass made my chest feel full — like I was hugging the music.” Beyond entertainment, Helen designed the suit to be accessible: it’s machine-washable, battery-powered for 12 hours, and is priced 30% lower than similar assistive devices.
Helen’s vision extends further. He’s partnering with music schools to integrate TactiSound into deaf education, and plans to add customizable vibration patterns for different genres-jazz’s syncopation might feel like quick taps on the wrists, while opera’s crescendos could build from the ankles to the chest. “Music isn’t just about hearing,” he says. “It’s about feeling connected to something bigger. This suit is just a tool to give that connection back.”
1． Why does the author include Mia Carter’s experience in Paragraph 3
A．To promote the product’s affordability.
B．To emphasize the suit’s technical specifications.
C．To compare classical and modern music effects.
D．To illustrate the emotional impact of the suit on users.
2． Where is this text most likely from
A．A product advertisement. B．A science and technology news report.
C．A biography of Patrick Helen. D．A music education textbook.
【答案】1．D 2．B
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍音频工程师Patrick Helen受听障青少年启发，研发TactiSound Suit触觉音效服，让听障人士通过触觉“感受”音乐的故事，包括研发背景、产品原理、使用效果及未来规划。
1．推理判断题。根据第三段中Mia Carter的描述“The violin’s vibrato moved up my arm like a breath, and the cello’s bass made my chest feel full-like I was hugging the music(小提琴的颤音像呼吸一样顺着我的手臂向上蔓延，大提琴的低音让我的胸口感到充盈——就像在拥抱音乐)”可知，作者引用她的经历是为了直观展示这款服装给听障用户带来的情感冲击，让读者感受到产品的实际价值。故选D项。
2．推理判断题。通读全文，结合第二段“After three years of research and development (R&D) and 117 prototype iterations, Helen unveiled the TactiSound Suit in 2021.

……….
In April 2022, the California State Library and California State Parks launched the three-year pilot program, handing out the passes to all public library branches across the state including mobile libraries. California State Parks said in a statement that it was “very proud” of the program, but did not indicate that a revised budget would add money to extend the program.
With the library program at risk, the CSP Foundation, a large advocacy group, has raised a battle cry to try to save it, writing to the government and launching a campaign that’s got 1,800 signatures. Rachel Norton, executive director of the foundation, said funding for the project was “a drop in the bucket” relative to the state’s proposed $291.5 billion budget.
As of last year, each library branch in California had an average of 24 parking tags, up from an initial four, state officials said. Cocking said San Francisco has 611 passes in circulation, a number that increased significantly last year. Librarians said the passes are especially popular in the spring and summer, when warm weather and vacations draw people to the Golden State’s great outdoors. “It’s like travel books.” Cocking said. “Travel books sit on the shelf a lot of the year, and then as it gets closer to summer, they’re all checked out.”
1． What does the underlined part “a drop in the bucket” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Large and significant amount. B．Very small or insignificant part.
C．Critical investment for the future. D．Wasteful and unnecessary expense.

Exciting news is on the horizon as California power authorities have successfully completed their groundbreaking solar panel-covered canal project, which promises to generate a remarkable 1.6 megawatts (兆瓦) of clean energy. This innovative initiative, led by the Turlock Irrigation District Water & Power, plays a vital role in irrigating (灌溉) essential crops like cotton and tomatoes in the heart of California’s central valley.
The inspiration for this project came from a 2021 research paper by scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who discovered that covering canals with solar panels could save an astonishing 63.5 billion gallons of water from evaporation (蒸发) each year. This brilliant idea not only conserves water but also offers an incredible benefit: for every megawatt of solar energy produced during Turlock’s average 290 sunny days, the panels could replace 15-20 diesel (柴油) generators that traditionally pump water along these canals.
Known as Project Nexus, this initiative took flight in October 2022. It stands out in the world and the second of its kind in the US. The project will be closely monitored to see how its performance matches the promising projections.
The concept of placing solar panels over canals isn’t new; it first emerged in 2014 in Gujarat, India, where a pilot project successfully covered a stretch of canal and paved the way for an entire canal-topped solar plant. Researchers in India found that the water beneath the panels helped maintain ideal temperatures, leading to a 2-5% improvement in efficiency.
In addition to conserving water and minimizing land use for solar farms, the panels’ unique placement helps extend their lifespan by keeping them cooler. This innovative approach also limits the growth of harmful plants along the canals, reducing the need for manual or chemical clearing.
With about 4,000 miles of canals across California, the potential for taking advantage of solar energy is tremendous, with estimates suggesting they could generate up to 13 gigawatts of power. This would be enough to supply energy to around 750,000 homes, effectively lighting up nearly half of Los Angeles.
1. Which would be the best title for the passage
A．How Canals Can Help Save Energy B．California’s Fight for Water Supply
C．Solar panels: A New Use for Canals D．Project Nexus: A Solar Success Case
【答案】D

……….
In April 2022, the California State Library and California State Parks launched the three-year pilot program, handing out the passes to all public library branches across the state including mobile libraries. California State Parks said in a statement that it was “very proud” of the program, but did not indicate that a revised budget would add money to extend the program.
With the library program at risk, the CSP Foundation, a large advocacy group, has raised a battle cry to try to save it, writing to the government and launching a campaign that’s got 1,800 signatures. Rachel Norton, executive director of the foundation, said funding for the project was “a drop in the bucket” relative to the state’s proposed $291.5 billion budget.
As of last year, each library branch in California had an average of 24 parking tags, up from an initial four, state officials said. Cocking said San Francisco has 611 passes in circulation, a number that increased significantly last year. Librarians said the passes are especially popular in the spring and summer, when warm weather and vacations draw people to the Golden State’s great outdoors. “It’s like travel books.” Cocking said. “Travel books sit on the shelf a lot of the year, and then as it gets closer to summer, they’re all checked out.”
1． What does the underlined part “a drop in the bucket” in paragraph 4 mean

（2024年新课标全国Ⅱ卷英语真题）
Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.
Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least.
“You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”
It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works.
Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”
Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit
Trost thinks so.
“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.
And you’ll never be without something to read.
1．Why did BART start the kiosk program
A．To promote the local culture. B．To discourage phone use.
C．To meet passengers’ needs. D．To reduce its running costs.
2．How are the stories categorized in the kiosk
A．By popularity. B．By length.
C．By theme. D．By language.
3．What has Trost been doing recently
A．Organizing a story contest. B．Doing a survey of customers.
C．Choosing a print publisher. D．Conducting interviews with artists.
4．What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future
A．It will close down. B．Its profits will decline.
C．It will expand nationwide. D．Its ridership will increase.
【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D

1．推理判断题。根据第三段““You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit - known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”(旧金山湾区捷运系统（BART）首席通讯官Alicia Trost表示：“你进入检票口，会看到一个亮着灯的信息亭，它告诉你可以得到一分钟、三分钟或五分钟的报道。你可以选择你想要的长度，它会给你一个类似收据的短篇故事。”)”可知，BART启动信息亭是为了满足乘客在乘车过程中的阅读需求，为他们提供不同长度的短篇故事或诗歌来打发时间。故选C项。
2．细节理解题。根据第三段“You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.(你可以选择你想要的长度，它会给你一个类似收据的短篇故事)”可知，信息亭中的故事按长度分类，乘客可以根据自己的需求选择不同长度的故事。故选B项。
3．细节理解题。根据第五段“We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,(我们想做一些事情，呼吁湾区的艺术家为比赛提交故事)”以及第六段“The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.(获奖故事会进入我们的书报亭，然后你就会成为一名出版艺术家)”可知，Trost最近在组织一个故事竞赛，向湾区的艺术家征集故事，获胜作品将被放入书报亭供乘客阅读。故选A项。
4．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.(她说：“归根结底，所有的交通机构现在都在尽一切努力改善乘客体验。所以我绝对认为，我们会因为短篇小说而吸引更多的乘客。”)”可知，Trost认为通过提升乘客体验，包括提供短篇故事阅读服务，BART可以吸引更多的乘客，乘客量将会增加。故选D项。

A machine can now not only beat you at chess, it can also outperform you in debate. Last week, in a public debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents, including Noa Ovadia, Israel’s former national debating champion.
Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make. Such wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out, yet they also point to a fundamental problem. As Kristian Hammond, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, put it: “There’s never a stage at which the system knows what it’s talking about.”
What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines. A computer works with symbols. Its program specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another. But it does not specify what those symbols mean. Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant. Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, also work with symbols. But for humans, meaning is everything. When we communicate, we communicate meaning. What matters is not just the outside of a string of symbols, but the inside too, not just how they are arranged but what they mean.
Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations. It is this that distinguishes humans from machines. And that’s why, however astonishing Project Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence.
1．Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph
A．To explain the use of a software program.
B．To show the cleverness of Project Debater.
C．To introduce the designer of Project Debater.
D．To emphasize the fairness of the competition.
2．What does the underlined word “wrinkles” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．Arguments. B．Doubts. C．Errors. D．Differences.
3．What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond
A．Create rules. B．Comprehend meaning.
C．Talk fluently. D．Identify difficult words.
4．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Social interaction is key to understanding symbols.
B．The human brain has potential yet to be developed.
C．Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters.
D．Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future.
【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍的是在辩论中战胜人类的名为Project Debater的软件程序。
1．推理判断题。根据第一段的“Last week, in a public debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents, including Noa Ovadia, Israel’s former national debating champion.(上周，在旧金山的一场公开辩论中，一个名为Project Debater的软件程序击败了它的人类对手，其中包括以色列前全国辩论冠军Noa Ovadia。)”可知，作者在第一段提到Noa Ovadia的目的是展示Project Debater的聪明。故选B。
2．词句猜测题。根据第二段的“Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make.(尽管Project Debater很聪明，但它也有一些弱点。它从文档库和预先构建的参数中提取句子，并将它们串在一起。这可能会导致人类不会犯的错误。)”和“will no doubt be ironed out(毫无疑问会被解决)”可知，划线词所在句子表示“这样的错误会被纠正，被解决”，划线词wrinkles的意思是“错误”，和errors意思相近，故选C。
3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines. A computer works with symbols. Its program specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another. But it does not specify what those symbols mean. Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant.(Hammond所指的是意义的问题，而意义是区分最不聪明的人类和最聪明的机器的关键。计算机使用符号。它的程序指定了一组将一串符号转换为另一串符号的规则。但它并没有具体说明这些符号的含义。事实上，对于计算机来说，意义是无关紧要的。)”可知，根据Hammond的说法，Project Debater不能理解意义，故选B。
4．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations.(意义的产生是通过社会互动的过程，而不是计算的过程，这种互动塑造了我们头脑中符号的内容。赋予意义的规则不仅存在于我们的头脑中，也存在于社会之外，存在于社会记忆、社会习俗和社会关系中。)”可知，从最后一段我们能了解到社会互动是理解符号的关键。故选A。

（2026届浙江省绍兴市高三上学期一模英语试卷）
Over the past year, the Chicago Department of Transportation has completed 10 safety projects focused on protecting pedestrians (行人) and cyclists, particularly young people. These measures were introduced in response to accidents involving youth. Teens involved with West Town Bike — a nonprofit that runs cycling programs for students — have voiced concerns about cycling safety while also proposing concrete ideas for improvement.
Many of these students expressed mixed feelings about biking in the city: while they value the sense of freedom, they often do not feel safe. Their suggestions range from infrastructural (基础设施的) upgrades to educational initiatives. For example, David Harb from Lane Tech High School stressed the importance of safety training, such as hand signals, and recommended expanding National Walk and Bike to School Day to include high schools. He also proposed replacing stop signs with roundabouts to naturally slow traffic.
Other students highlighted issues with enforcement and infrastructure. Kaniyah Hale believes drivers who cause collisions with cyclists or pedestrians should receive stronger punishment. Armand Dunkines, who was hit while riding where a bike lane suddenly ends, urged the city to use data to guide bike lane placement and increase traffic law enforcement, especially on weekends. Tamara Scott, both a cyclist and a new driver, pointed out that bike lanes are frequently blocked by cars, emphasizing that motorists must be reminded they are sharing the road.
Christopher Garcia, an experienced cyclist, imagines a redesigned road system with separate spaces for bicycles and cars, along with shared zones. Together, these teens agree that making Chicago’s streets safer will require not only physical changes but also a shift in culture and attitudes among all road users.
1．What is West Town Bike according to the text
A．A project on protecting pedestrians.
B．A school offering teens bike safety training.
C．An official department managing traffic safety.
D．An organization running free cycling programs.
2．What can be inferred about students’ views from paragraph 2
A．Biking safety must be ensured.
B．Steps count in reducing infrastructure costs.
C．Safety training outweighs facility upgrades.
D．Stop signs effectively slow down traffic flow.
3．Why does the author mention Armand Dunkines’ accident
A．To call on motorists to follow the rules.
B．To complain about the lack of bike lanes.
C．To show the benefits of law enforcement.
D．To criticize the poor design of infrastructure.
4．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Teens’ Appeals for Safer Chicago Streets
B．Chicago’s New Traffic Rules for Cyclists
C．The History of Chicago Cycling Programs
D．Chicago’s Shift toward Fewer Car Accidents

(25-26高三上·河南三门峡·期中)
Shortly before the Spring Festival in 2025, residents of Zhaoquan Village in Shuangkou Town, Beichen District, Tianjin, received daily necessities such as rice, flour, and cooking oil. These supplies were a result of the village’s collective economic growth over the past year, and behind this progress was the dedicated work of the village Party branch, led by 30-year-old Secretary Zhao Rui.
After graduating from Tianjin Medical University in 2017, Zhao returned to her hometown in Shuangkou Town and joined a group of young leaders driving rural revitalization (振兴) in the area. “I grew up in the countryside; this land is my root. I want to help it move toward a brighter future,” Zhao said. In 2021, her outstanding abilities earned her the positions of Party Secretary and Director of the Zhaoquan Village Committee. Today, the village Party branch has nine members, four of whom are under 30. This young team has brought fresh and innovative ideas to promote the village’s prosperity.
In May 2024, with support from the district government, Zhao and her colleagues launched video accounts on popular social media platforms like Douyin and Kuaishou, aiming to explore new ways to increase income and advance the village’s development. One of her video series, titled “100 Simple Acts for the Villagers,” showed her efforts to address the community’s daily needs— including providing free haircuts, giving disease prevention lectures, and teaching elderly villagers to use smartphones. Many young villagers have moved to cities for work, leaving mostly seniors behind, but now these elders can make video calls to their families.
These videos not only enriched villagers’ lives but also put Zhaoquan Village on the map, attracting investment. For example, a forest farm was built where families can enjoy outdoor activities, boosting the village’s income and creating jobs. In September last year, Zhao made videos documenting grape cultivation and highlighting the fruit’s sweet-sour taste, helping sell about 35,000 kg of grapes for local farmers. Zhao has also extended her efforts to neighbouring areas. In June, she also helped a nearby family sell unsold apricots via videos when the family’s mother was bedridden. Additionally, Zhao’s team has tried livestream e-commerce to support the village. “I’m just an ordinary person from a farming family. Though my influence is limited, I want to use my efforts to bring real benefits to my hometown,” Zhao said.
1． What is the main function of the first paragraph in the whole passage
A．To introduce Tianjin’s rural revitalization background.
B．To list daily necessities received by Zhaoquan villagers.
C．To show Zhao Rui’s work results and arouse interest in her story.
D．To stress the importance of collective economy for rural development.
2． What can we learn about Zhao Rui’s “100 Simple Acts for the Villagers” series
A．It was the first social media project Zhao started with her young team.
B．It was launched in 2021 right after Zhao took office as Party Secretary.

Seventeen-year-old Dhanush Eashwar, who has started coding at 7, is one of the 2024 winners of Swift Student Challenge, which tasks young creators with developing apps that solve real-world problems. His submission, Finger Dance, aims to facilitate better communication between the deaf and hearing communities. Using machine learning and augmented reality, it recognizes users’ hand poses and classifies them as American Sign Language (ASL) letters, helping beginners learn ASL.
The winning program was developed specifically for the challenge and isn’t in app stores. But the high school senior is working hard on an even more ambitious project that he says will be available to download in the future: an app that translates ASL hand signs to English in real-time — “like a Google Translate for visual languages,” he explained.
“I felt that there was a need for technology to actually bridge the gap between both of the communities,” explained Eashwar, who isn’t deaf himself but took ASL in high school. After attending some deaf events around the region, he realized he had an opportunity. “Machine learning is being used in so many different fields, but something that everyone has is their phone, and that’s in their pocket.”
As one of the 50 “distinguished winners” in the challenge, Eashwar attended Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WDC) in June and met the tech company’s CEO, Tim Cook. “That whole experience was really surreal. It was truly a mind-blowing experience, and it was so insightful,” said Eashwar. “And after that experience, I feel more motivated than ever to actually contribute to the technology community and actually do more.”
The STEM star is clearly passionate about the tangible (实际的) and wide-reaching solutions that coding and app development can offer the world. “What really inspired me to get into the field is the high-impact social innovation that you can bring to the world with computer science and machine learning,” Eashwar shared.
1．What is Finger Dance
A．A machine learning device. B．A real-time translation tool.
C．An app assisting to learn ASL. D．A program aimed for the deaf.

解题思路
1. 细节理解题 - 精准定位，一字一句
核心目标：查找并确认文中明确表述的特定信息。
解题技巧：
关键词定位法：阅读题干，圈定人名、地名、数字、日期、专有名词等关键标识词，迅速返回原文查找。
同义替换意识：正确答案往往不是原文原词，而是进行同义转述。例如，原文是 “The project was initiated in 2020”，选项可能是 “The project started three years ago” (假设当前是2023年)。
“题文同序”原则：题目顺序通常与信息在文中出现的顺序一致，可帮助缩小查找范围。
警惕干扰项：常见干扰项设计包括：张冠李戴、无中生有、偷换概念（如改变时态、情态动词）、绝对化表述（如only, never, all）。
2. 推理判断题 - 读出“弦外之音”
核心目标：基于文本事实，进行合理逻辑推导，揣测作者意图、观点或隐含意义。
解题技巧：
立足文本，拒绝臆想：所有推断必须有文本依据，不能脱离文章凭常识或个人经验判断。
关注“信号词”：
表因果：because, since, as a result, therefore, thus → 可推断事件原因或结果。
表转折：but, however, yet, unfortunately → 可推断作者的真实态度或强调的重点。
表让步：although, though, while → 可推断矛盾双方的主次。
识别作者观点：注意区分客观事实与作者主观评价。表达观点态度的词汇常为形容词（e.g., successful, promising, disappointing）、副词（e.g., unfortunately, hopefully）或引用他人评价。
结论合理性：正确选项通常是 “温水煮青蛙”式的温和结论，如 “The method is promising but requires further testing.” 而过于绝对、极端或跨越文本信息的选项通常不选。
3. 主旨大意题 - 高屋建瓴，把握全局
核心目标：抓住文章的中心思想或选择最贴切的标题。
解题技巧：
首尾段定位法：新闻报道的导语（首段）和结尾段通常是主旨的高度概括，必须精读。
主题句定位法：段落的首句或尾句常是该段的主题句。将各段主题句串联起来，有助于归纳全文主旨。
核心词复现法：贯穿全文、反复出现的关键词或其同义词，是确定主旨的重要线索。
标题甄选原则：最佳标题应具备概括性、针对性和吸引性。它必须覆盖全文核心，不能只涉及局部细节，同时要符合新闻标题简洁、醒目的特点。范围过大或过小的选项都不选。
4. 词义猜测题 - 顺藤摸瓜，巧用语境
核心目标：利用上下文线索推测生词或短语的含义。
解题技巧：
寻找定义或解释：作者有时会使用同位语、定语从句或直接解释生词。线索词：that is, meaning, refer to, namely, in other words,破折号、括号。
利用举例：例子往往能揭示词义。线索词：such as, for example, like, including。
利用对比或类比关系：通过反义词或相似事物来推测。线索词：but, however, unlike, on the contrary, similarly, like。
利用因果关系：从原因或结果推断词义。线索词：because, since, as a result, therefore, thus, so。构词法分析：将单词拆解前缀、词根、后缀来帮助理解。

A Florida doctor successfully operated on a patient 7,000 miles away in Africa, using a remote-controlled robot. The patient, Fernando Da Silva, who lives in Angola, needed the surgery to treat cancer.
In a robotic surgical procedure, the surgeon does not touch the patient. Instead, the doctor moves their hands to control smaller robotic hands that hold surgical instruments and work on the patient. When the doctor moves their hands around, the robotic hands move in the same way.
Da Silva’s procedure, called “transcontinental robotic telesurgery”, was performed by Dr. Vipul Patel. Seated at a robotic console(控制台) with a 3D screen and highly responsive hand controls, Patel’s movements were transmitted through fiber-optic cables that run under the ocean to robotic arms in the operating room in Angola. Fiber-optic technology transmits data faster and farther than other communication methods.
1． What made Dr. Patel’s surgery on Silva unusual
A．The patient controlled the robotic tools.
B．The surgery was for a rare type of cancer.
C．It was a transcontinental robotic operation.
D．It required no assistance from any medical team.

The Xiaomi SU7 Accidents: Who Is to Blame
In late March 2025, a Xiaomi SU7 Standard Edition crashed into a concrete barrier on a highway in Anhui, triggering widespread debate over liability for smart car accidents. Weeks later, multiple SU7 owners reported collisions during automatic parking, with Xiaomi confirming software bugs as a contributing factor. These incidents have cast doubt on the safety of new-energy vehicles (NEVs) and the blurred lines of responsibility in the age of intelligent driving.
The highway crash unfolded at 22:44 on March 29. The vehicle, traveling at 116km/h in NOA (Navigation on Autopilot) mode, encountered a construction zone where lanes were diverted using barriers. Xiaomi’s statement noted the car detected obstacles, issued warnings, and began decelerating, yet just 2 seconds later, the driver took over manually. Despite continued braking, the SU7 hit the barrier at approximately 97km/h, leading to fatalities.
Key controversies emerged immediately. First, the 2-second window for driver intervention sparked questions about NOA’s design. At 116km/h, the car covers roughly 64 meters in 2 seconds, while the SU7’s official 100km/h braking distance is 33.5 meters, but this is under ideal test conditions, not nighttime highway scenarios with sudden lane changes. Second, the SU7 Standard’s AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) system only responds to vehicles, pedestrians, and two-wheelers, failing to detect construction barriers. Experts pointed out that this limitation left the driver solely reliant on split-second reactions.
The automatic parking incidents added another layer of complexity. In mid-November 2025, owners across China described the SU7 veering into other cars or pillars during automated parking. One driver reported two consecutive failures: “The first time it rushed toward a vehicle; the second time, it hit a column without any collision warning.” Xiaomi’s customer service acknowledged software bugs but emphasized drivers must “take over immediately” if obstacles like bushes or wires are present — limitations not prominently disclosed in marketing materials.
1． What contributed to the highway crash, according to the passage
A．The SU7’s failure to issue obstacle warnings
B．The insufficient braking distance of the SU7 Standard
C．The driver’s delayed response within the given time window
D．The AEB system’s inability to detect construction barriers
2． Why did the automatic parking incidents raise public concern
A．Xiaomi’s marketing materials hid the function’s limitations
B．The software bugs were caused by recent OTA updates
C．The ultrasonic radar failed to detect all types of obstacles
D．Drivers were unable to take over due to system malfunctions

As an audio engineer with two decades of experience, Patrick Helen has long been captivated by how sound shapes human emotion. But it was a 2018 encounter with a deaf teenager — who described music as “a blank space” despite feeling bass vibrations at concerts — that sparked his mission: to turn invisible sound into tangible touch, letting the hearing-impaired “hear” music through their skin.
After three years of research and development (R&D) and 117 prototype iterations, Helen unveiled the TactiSound Suit in 2021. The lightweight, wearable suit is embedded with 24 micro-vibration sensors, each calibrated to capture distinct sound frequencies: low bass notes trigger gentle rumblings in the waistband, mid-range melodies pulse on the forearms, and high-pitched harmonies create subtle vibrations near the shoulders. A wireless receiver connects the suit to any audio source — from concert speakers to smartphones — converting sound waves into precise tactile signals in real time.
For the deaf and hard of hearing, the suit is transformative. In a 2023 trial at Peterborough’s Royal National Institute for Deaf People, 89% of participants reported “feeling the structure of music” for the first time. Mia Carter, a 19-year-old deaf student, described her experience at a classical concert: “The violin’s vibrato moved up my arm like a breath, and the cello’s bass made my chest feel full — like I was hugging the music.” Beyond entertainment, Helen designed the suit to be accessible: it’s machine-washable, battery-powered for 12 hours, and is priced 30% lower than similar assistive devices.
Helen’s vision extends further. He’s partnering with music schools to integrate TactiSound into deaf education, and plans to add customizable vibration patterns for different genres-jazz’s syncopation might feel like quick taps on the wrists, while opera’s crescendos could build from the ankles to the chest. “Music isn’t just about hearing,” he says. “It’s about feeling connected to something bigger. This suit is just a tool to give that connection back.”
1． Why does the author include Mia Carter’s experience in Paragraph 3
A．To promote the product’s affordability.
B．To emphasize the suit’s technical specifications.
C．To compare classical and modern music effects.
D．To illustrate the emotional impact of the suit on users.
2． Where is this text most likely from
A．A product advertisement. B．A science and technology news report.
C．A biography of Patrick Helen. D．A music education textbook.

In April 2022, the California State Library and California State Parks launched the three-year pilot program, handing out the passes to all public library branches across the state including mobile libraries. California State Parks said in a statement that it was “very proud” of the program, but did not indicate that a revised budget would add money to extend the program.
With the library program at risk, the CSP Foundation, a large advocacy group, has raised a battle cry to try to save it, writing to the government and launching a campaign that’s got 1,800 signatures. Rachel Norton, executive director of the foundation, said funding for the project was “a drop in the bucket” relative to the state’s proposed $291.5 billion budget.
As of last year, each library branch in California had an average of 24 parking tags, up from an initial four, state officials said. Cocking said San Francisco has 611 passes in circulation, a number that increased significantly last year. Librarians said the passes are especially popular in the spring and summer, when warm weather and vacations draw people to the Golden State’s great outdoors. “It’s like travel books.” Cocking said. “Travel books sit on the shelf a lot of the year, and then as it gets closer to summer, they’re all checked out.”
1． What does the underlined part “a drop in the bucket” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Large and significant amount. B．Very small or insignificant part.
C．Critical investment for the future. D．Wasteful and unnecessary expense.

Exciting news is on the horizon as California power authorities have successfully completed their groundbreaking solar panel-covered canal project, which promises to generate a remarkable 1.6 megawatts (兆瓦) of clean energy. This innovative initiative, led by the Turlock Irrigation District Water & Power, plays a vital role in irrigating (灌溉) essential crops like cotton and tomatoes in the heart of California’s central valley.
The inspiration for this project came from a 2021 research paper by scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who discovered that covering canals with solar panels could save an astonishing 63.5 billion gallons of water from evaporation (蒸发) each year. This brilliant idea not only conserves water but also offers an incredible benefit: for every megawatt of solar energy produced during Turlock’s average 290 sunny days, the panels could replace 15-20 diesel (柴油) generators that traditionally pump water along these canals.
Known as Project Nexus, this initiative took flight in October 2022. It stands out in the world and the second of its kind in the US. The project will be closely monitored to see how its performance matches the promising projections.
The concept of placing solar panels over canals isn’t new; it first emerged in 2014 in Gujarat, India, where a pilot project successfully covered a stretch of canal and paved the way for an entire canal-topped solar plant. Researchers in India found that the water beneath the panels helped maintain ideal temperatures, leading to a 2-5% improvement in efficiency.
In addition to conserving water and minimizing land use for solar farms, the panels’ unique placement helps extend their lifespan by keeping them cooler. This innovative approach also limits the growth of harmful plants along the canals, reducing the need for manual or chemical clearing.
With about 4,000 miles of canals across California, the potential for taking advantage of solar energy is tremendous, with estimates suggesting they could generate up to 13 gigawatts of power. This would be enough to supply energy to around 750,000 homes, effectively lighting up nearly half of Los Angeles.
1. Which would be the best title for the passage
A．How Canals Can Help Save Energy B．California’s Fight for Water Supply
C．Solar panels: A New Use for Canals D．Project Nexus: A Solar Success Case

In April 2022, the California State Library and California State Parks launched the three-year pilot program, handing out the passes to all public library branches across the state including mobile libraries. California State Parks said in a statement that it was “very proud” of the program, but did not indicate that a revised budget would add money to extend the program.
With the library program at risk, the CSP Foundation, a large advocacy group, has raised a battle cry to try to save it, writing to the government and launching a campaign that’s got 1,800 signatures. Rachel Norton, executive director of the foundation, said funding for the project was “a drop in the bucket” relative to the state’s proposed $291.5 billion budget.
As of last year, each library branch in California had an average of 24 parking tags, up from an initial four, state officials said. Cocking said San Francisco has 611 passes in circulation, a number that increased significantly last year. Librarians said the passes are especially popular in the spring and summer, when warm weather and vacations draw people to the Golden State’s great outdoors. “It’s like travel books.” Cocking said. “Travel books sit on the shelf a lot of the year, and then as it gets closer to summer, they’re all checked out.”
1． What does the underlined part “a drop in the bucket” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Large and significant amount. B．Very small or insignificant part.
C．Critical investment for the future. D．Wasteful and unnecessary expense.

Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.
Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least.
“You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”
It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works.
Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”
Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit
Trost thinks so.
“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.
And you’ll never be without something to read.
1．Why did BART start the kiosk program
A．To promote the local culture. B．To discourage phone use.
C．To meet passengers’ needs. D．To reduce its running costs.
2．How are the stories categorized in the kiosk
A．By popularity. B．By length.
C．By theme. D．By language.
3．What has Trost been doing recently
A．Organizing a story contest. B．Doing a survey of customers.
C．Choosing a print publisher. D．Conducting interviews with artists.
4．What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future
A．It will close down. B．Its profits will decline.
C．It will expand nationwide. D．Its ridership will increase.

A machine can now not only beat you at chess, it can also outperform you in debate. Last week, in a public debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents, including Noa Ovadia, Israel’s former national debating champion.
Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make. Such wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out, yet they also point to a fundamental problem. As Kristian Hammond, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, put it: “There’s never a stage at which the system knows what it’s talking about.”
What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines. A computer works with symbols. Its program specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another. But it does not specify what those symbols mean. Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant. Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, also work with symbols. But for humans, meaning is everything. When we communicate, we communicate meaning. What matters is not just the outside of a string of symbols, but the inside too, not just how they are arranged but what they mean.
Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations. It is this that distinguishes humans from machines. And that’s why, however astonishing Project Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence.
1．Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph
A．To explain the use of a software program.
B．To show the cleverness of Project Debater.
C．To introduce the designer of Project Debater.
D．To emphasize the fairness of the competition.
2．What does the underlined word “wrinkles” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．Arguments. B．Doubts. C．Errors. D．Differences.
3．What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond
A．Create rules. B．Comprehend meaning.
C．Talk fluently. D．Identify difficult words.
4．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Social interaction is key to understanding symbols.
B．The human brain has potential yet to be developed.
C．Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters.
D．Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future.

Over the past year, the Chicago Department of Transportation has completed 10 safety projects focused on protecting pedestrians (行人) and cyclists, particularly young people. These measures were introduced in response to accidents involving youth. Teens involved with West Town Bike — a nonprofit that runs cycling programs for students — have voiced concerns about cycling safety while also proposing concrete ideas for improvement.
Many of these students expressed mixed feelings about biking in the city: while they value the sense of freedom, they often do not feel safe. Their suggestions range from infrastructural (基础设施的) upgrades to educational initiatives. For example, David Harb from Lane Tech High School stressed the importance of safety training, such as hand signals, and recommended expanding National Walk and Bike to School Day to include high schools. He also proposed replacing stop signs with roundabouts to naturally slow traffic.
Other students highlighted issues with enforcement and infrastructure. Kaniyah Hale believes drivers who cause collisions with cyclists or pedestrians should receive stronger punishment. Armand Dunkines, who was hit while riding where a bike lane suddenly ends, urged the city to use data to guide bike lane placement and increase traffic law enforcement, especially on weekends. Tamara Scott, both a cyclist and a new driver, pointed out that bike lanes are frequently blocked by cars, emphasizing that motorists must be reminded they are sharing the road.
Christopher Garcia, an experienced cyclist, imagines a redesigned road system with separate spaces for bicycles and cars, along with shared zones. Together, these teens agree that making Chicago’s streets safer will require not only physical changes but also a shift in culture and attitudes among all road users.
1．What is West Town Bike according to the text
A．A project on protecting pedestrians.
B．A school offering teens bike safety training.
C．An official department managing traffic safety.

Shortly before the Spring Festival in 2025, residents of Zhaoquan Village in Shuangkou Town, Beichen District, Tianjin, received daily necessities such as rice, flour, and cooking oil. These supplies were a result of the village’s collective economic growth over the past year, and behind this progress was the dedicated work of the village Party branch, led by 30-year-old Secretary Zhao Rui.
After graduating from Tianjin Medical University in 2017, Zhao returned to her hometown in Shuangkou Town and joined a group of young leaders driving rural revitalization (振兴) in the area. “I grew up in the countryside; this land is my root. I want to help it move toward a brighter future,” Zhao said. In 2021, her outstanding abilities earned her the positions of Party Secretary and Director of the Zhaoquan Village Committee. Today, the village Party branch has nine members, four of whom are under 30. This young team has brought fresh and innovative ideas to promote the village’s prosperity.
In May 2024, with support from the district government, Zhao and her colleagues launched video accounts on popular social media platforms like Douyin and Kuaishou, aiming to explore new ways to increase income and advance the village’s development. One of her video series, titled “100 Simple Acts for the Villagers,” showed her efforts to address the community’s daily needs— including providing free haircuts, giving disease prevention lectures, and teaching elderly villagers to use smartphones. Many young villagers have moved to cities for work, leaving mostly seniors behind, but now these elders can make video calls to their families.
These videos not only enriched villagers’ lives but also put Zhaoquan Village on the map, attracting investment. For example, a forest farm was built where families can enjoy outdoor activities, boosting the village’s income and creating jobs. In September last year, Zhao made videos documenting grape cultivation and highlighting the fruit’s sweet-sour taste, helping sell about 35,000 kg of grapes for local farmers. Zhao has also extended her efforts to neighbouring areas. In June, she also helped a nearby family sell unsold apricots via videos when the family’s mother was bedridden. Additionally, Zhao’s team has tried livestream e-commerce to support the village. “I’m just an ordinary person from a farming family. Though my influence is limited, I want to use my efforts to bring real benefits to my hometown,” Zhao said.
1． What is the main function of the first paragraph in the whole passage
A．To introduce Tianjin’s rural revitalization background.
B．To list daily necessities received by Zhaoquan villagers.
C．To show Zhao Rui’s work results and arouse interest in her story.
D．To stress the importance of collective economy for rural development.
2． What can we learn about Zhao Rui’s “100 Simple Acts for the Villagers” series
A．It was the first social media project Zhao started with her young team.
B．It was launched in 2021 right after Zhao took office as Party Secretary.
C．It included activities related to both daily life support and basic health guidance.
D．It was created to help elderly villagers contact their urban family members.
3． What can be inferred about Zhao Rui’s video efforts
A．They made Zhaoquan a famous tourist spot.
B．They helped nearby areas besides Zhaoquan.
C．They created more long-term jobs than short-term support.
D．They made livestream e-commerce the village’s main income.
4． Which best describes Zhao Rui’s character
A．Practical but hesitant. B．Kind and hardworking.
C．Ambitious yet dependent. D．Innovative and devoted.

Seventeen-year-old Dhanush Eashwar, who has started coding at 7, is one of the 2024 winners of Swift Student Challenge, which tasks young creators with developing apps that solve real-world problems. His submission, Finger Dance, aims to facilitate better communication between the deaf and hearing communities. Using machine learning and augmented reality, it recognizes users’ hand poses and classifies them as American Sign Language (ASL) letters, helping beginners learn ASL.
The winning program was developed specifically for the challenge and isn’t in app stores. But the high school senior is working hard on an even more ambitious project that he says will be available to download in the future: an app that translates ASL hand signs to English in real-time — “like a Google Translate for visual languages,” he explained.
“I felt that there was a need for technology to actually bridge the gap between both of the communities,” explained Eashwar, who isn’t deaf himself but took ASL in high school. After attending some deaf events around the region, he realized he had an opportunity. “Machine learning is being used in so many different fields, but something that everyone has is their phone, and that’s in their pocket.”
As one of the 50 “distinguished winners” in the challenge, Eashwar attended Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WDC) in June and met the tech company’s CEO, Tim Cook. “That whole experience was really surreal. It was truly a mind-blowing experience, and it was so insightful,” said Eashwar. “And after that experience, I feel more motivated than ever to actually contribute to the technology community and actually do more.”
The STEM star is clearly passionate about the tangible (实际的) and wide-reaching solutions that coding and app development can offer the world. “What really inspired me to get into the field is the high-impact social innovation that you can bring to the world with computer science and machine learning,” Eashwar shared.
1．What is Finger Dance
A．A machine learning device. B．A real-time translation tool.
C．An app assisting to learn ASL. D．A program aimed for the deaf.
2．Why did Eashwar decide to develop apps for the deaf and hearing communities
A．To win a series of technological contests.
B．To meet Tim Cook at the WDC in person.
C．To create scientific innovation projects by coding.
D．To connect the two communities using technology.
3．What can be inferred about Eashwar from the text
A．He prefers developing apps for deaf people.
B．He is talented for American Sign Language.
C．He has a strong sense of social responsibility.
D．He is eager to become famous like Tim Cook.
4．What message is the text meant to convey

Kristina Smith was running the California International Marathon in 2019, grabbing cups of water to drink, when she started to think about how much waste such events produce. On the flight home, she did the math: 9,000 runners, 17 aid stations and something like 150,000 cups used once and thrown away. That sparked her idea for something more environmental — a lightweight cup that could be used again and again. After working out a design, Kristina ordered her first shipment and tested them at a race in 2021.
As she was getting her business off the ground, Kristina emailed race directors to ask if their event used disposable (一次性的) cups. “The answer was always yes,” she said. Her response, “If you’re looking for a sustainable solution, I have one.” Now she rents out the cups by the thousand, driving them to events in big bags and leaving bins (箱子) with the company logo for collection after use. Kristina picks up the used cups and washes them in a specialized dishwasher.
“It’s just a solution to a problem that has been around for a long time,” Kristina said. Nevertheless, one trade-off is that the cup rentals cost race directors more than other options. Disposable cups might run just a few cents each, while 10,000 reusable cups would rent for about 15 cents each.
Gleeson, of Project Drawdown, sees the reusable cups as just one of many ways that innovators(创新者) are looking to cut down on plastic waste. Such solutions often have to be rooted in convenience and grounded in local applications to get more people to adopt them. Some cities, for instance, are experimenting with reusable food takeout containers that customers return to nearby drop-off spots later on.
While no one solution can fully tackle the problem, “The potential is there,” Gleeson said. “I think in general, high adoption of these kinds of solutions is what is able to bring costs down and really maximize environmental benefits that you could get.”
1． What inspired Kristina to design reusable cups
A．The suggestion from marathon race directors.
B．Her own experience in reducing plastic waste.
C．High price paid by marathon runners for cups.
D．The huge number of cups wasted in a marathon.
2． What is the main challenge of Kristina’s reusable cups
A．High rental cost. B．Poor user experience.
C．Unsatisfying quality. D．Complex washing process.
3． What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A．Reusable cups are sufficient to reduce plastic waste.
B．Innovation should attach importance to reducing costs.
C．Solutions should fit local use and be convenient for adopters.
D．Cities have made great progress in reducing plastic waste.
4． What is the author’s purpose in writing this article
A．To describe the ways of producing reusable cups.
B．To compare the costs of single-use and reusable cups.
C．To criticize race events for causing environmental damage.

Researchers have identified more than 1,000 potentially problematic open-access journals using an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that selected around 15,000 titles for signs of doubtful publishing practices. A study released recently suggests that “there's a whole group of problematic journals in plain sight that are functioning as supposedly respected journals that really don't deserve that qualification”
The approach could be used to help tackle the rise in what the study authors call “questionable open-access journals”. It is available online in a closed beta version, and organizations that index (检索) journals, or publishers, can use it to review their portfolios (文件夹), says study co-author Daniel Acu a, a computer scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder. But, he adds, the AI sometimes makes mistakes, and is not designed to replace detailed evaluations of journals and individual publications that might result in a title being removed from an index. “A human expert should be part of the evaluating process” before any action is taken, he says.
The AI tool can analyze a vast amount of information from journals’ websites and the papers they publish, and search for red flags — such as short turnaround times for publishing articles and high rates of self-citation. It also assesses whether members of a journal's editorial board are related with well-known, reputable research institutions, and checks how clear publications are about licensing and fees. Several of the criteria used to train the tool come from best-practice guidance developed by the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).
When the researchers asked the AI to assess 15,191 open-access journals listed in the public database Unpaywall, the team estimated that some 345 of these were mistakenly flagged: they included discontinued titles, book series and journals from small, learned-society publishers.
Cenyu Shen, the DOAJ's deputy head of editorial quality, says that the number of problematic journals is rising and AI tools could help to speed up some of these assessments.
1． Why should a human expert be part of the evaluating process
A．AI provides evaluation with untrusted comprehension.
B．Manual review contributes to final thorough decisions.
C．Mistakes are caused by AI's missing critical details.
D．A human expert dominates the evaluating process.
2． What does the phrase “red flags” in paragraph 3 probably refer to
A．Signals of a poor-quality journal. B．Warnings from reputable researchers.
C．Markers for mistakes of the websites. D．Guidance by open-access journals.
3． What's the purpose of the fourth paragraph
A．To promote the Unpaywall database. B．To disapprove of learned-society publishers.
C．To illustrate the shortcomings of the AI tool. D．To detail the criteria the AI used to flag.
4． What is the overall tone of the passage regarding the AI tool
A．Uncritical advocacy. B．Profound skepticism.

Remember Quibi The 2020 short-form streaming service for smartphones crashed spectacularly, its name now associated with bad ideas. Yet Lloyd Braun, former ABC Entertainment and Yahoo Media executive, is reviving the concept with MicroCo — a project blending AI and micro dramas, the addictive, bite-sized entertainment genre (类型) booming in China.
Micro dramas, shot vertically for phones, feature soapy, serialized plots like My Sweet Home and Summer Rose (both available on Reel Short). Chinese firms produce entire seasons for as little as $15,000 with episodes lasting 1 — 3 minutes and seasons spanning 30 — 150 episodes. The genre, now a $7 billion industry in China, is gaining U.S. popularity, with millions downloading Chinese apps. Analysts predict a$10 billion global market by 2027.
Braun calls it a rare white space in the U.S. entertainment. Unlike Quibi, which spent $100,000 — 125,000 per minute and burned $1.4 billion, MicroCo plans to cut costs using AI. For example, AI-assisted animation could reduce production expenses from $15,000 — 60,000 per minute to $1,500.
Funded by Cineverse and Banyan Ventures, MicroCo will adopt a “freemium” model: free initial episodes, with credits or subscriptions unlocking endings. The app, launching next year, will also explore genres like animation. Jana Winograd, MicroCo’s CEO and former Showtime president, aims to balance quality with the genre’s signature suspense — establishing plots in 3 seconds and a dramatic hook in 23.
Susan Rovner, ex-NBCUniversal and Warner Bros. executive behind hits like Ted Lasso, will join as chief creative officer. Cineverse, which holds a 50% share, is developing the app with 100+ Indian engineers. The company also owns 71,000 media properties, including podcasts and films, some of which Rovner may adapt.
Why haven’t traditional studios jumped in “The industry is in confusion,” says Cineverse CEO Chris McGurk. “Big studios are scrambled to survive, not innovate.” MicroCo hopes its AI-driven approach and veteran leadership will seize this untapped opportunity.

The cotton seed sprouts (新芽) seemed to have withstood the tough lunar conditions: freezing temperatures, lower gravity levels, and radiation. But by Thursday, the new cotton seed sprouts had died already, according to Liu Hanlong, the experiment leader, in a government press conference statement.
After Chang’e-4 landed on the far side of the moon earlier this month, the probe (探测器) was sent a command to remotely water the plants and start the growing process. A tube directed natural light on the surface of the moon into the small container to allow the plants to grow. The probe entered a sleep mode on Sunday, the first lunar night after the probe’s landing.
Professor Xie Gengxin, professor at Chongqing University and chief designer of the experiment, told CNN that it ended after nine days when the control team shut down the power. Xie said temperatures inside the biosphere (生物圈) had grown too abnormal and reached extremes that would likely kill all life, including the seeds and eggs during the lunar night. Xie didn’t confirm why temperatures had risen to levels unbearable for the plants in spite of the measures taken by the research team.
Even though the experiment was quickly ended, Xie considered it a success. The cotton were the only seeds to sprout, however, and despite many assumptions about the future possibility of moon clothes, the cotton plant’s main purpose this time was to give researchers the valuable data on how to cultivate life in the moon’s tough conditions. The eventual ability to grow plants on the moon could prove useful for long-term space missions, like a trip to Mars. Astronauts could theoretically harvest their own food in space, avoiding the need to return to Earth to resupply.
Aside from the apparent failure of the biological or plant experiment, the rest of China’s mission to the far side of the moon appeared on track as of Thursday. The historic mission is intended to accomplish a range of tasks, including conducting the first lunar low-frequency radio astronomy experiment and exploring whether there is water at the moon’s poles.

CHENGDU, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) — A student-initiated “kindness fridge” at Xinhua Middle School, specifically designed to provide free, easily accessible food for peers and staff facing short-term financial strains or unexpected daily troubles (like forgetting lunch money), has sparked heated community debate since it first launched in early September. Inspired by a 2024 feature in Time for Kids that highlighted U.S. school “care fridges” supporting students in need, three 11th-graders behind the local project hoped to foster a stronger culture of mutual aid on campus. However, putting this idea into practice at a Chinese public school has exposed unexpected tensions between grassroots goodwill, strict institutional regulations, and varying community expectations.
Placed outside the cafeteria, the fridge follows a “donate what you can, take what you need” model, with snacks, water, and shelf-stable meals from students, teachers, and local stores. Yet issues arose quickly. On October 3, the school suspended it for 72 hours after a parent complained to the city health office about expired (过期的) dairy and poor temperature control — breaking local campus food safety rules. Principal Zhang praised the project’s“good intent” but noted “uncontrolled food distribution risks legal trouble,” demanding a two-part system: a digital log for donations (tracking sources and expiration dates) and teacher oversight of users. The founders pushed back, saying this would “lose the project’s trust core” and embarrass those in need.
Student views split: Ninth-grader Wang Tao (who uses the fridge when he forgets lunch money) called it “a lifeline,” while 10th-grader Li Ming claimed classmates resold snacks and suggested a “needs check” with a counselor’s signature — criticized for “hurting dignity.” A Chengdu Daily poll of 2,300 people found 58% supported the fridge (32% wanted small fixes), 42% doubted its long-term viability and local store “Green Harvest” paused donations.
Still, the team adapted: They added a Bluetooth temperature sensor, put QR codes on items for donation logs, and partnered with “Sunny Loaf” bakery for fresh, dated pastries — solving the expired food issue. They plan a “kindness shelf” for school supplies next month but admit the fridge’s future depends on resolving conflicts with the school “Kindness needs structure to last,” said founder Li Jia.
1． What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To discuss a student project’s challenges and responses.
B．To show the need for school support for student ideas.
C．To report on a student project and its related issues.
D．To stress food safety risks in student activities.
2． Why was the “kindness fridge” stopped for 72 hours
A．Because the food in it was not safe to eat.
B．Because it lacked a clear and effective management system.
C．Because it created unfairness and hurt students’ dignity.
D．Because it was against the school’s safety rules.
3． The underlined word “viability” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______.
A．being able to continue to exist B．being easy to operate
C．being popular with students D．being supported by the school
4．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．The team added new rules for tracking donations.
B．The kindness shelf will open at the end of this month.
C．The team found new ways to ensure food safety.
D．The school has approved the team’s new improvements.

Globally, 14% of new cars sold in 2022 were electric — up from 9% in 2021 and just 5% in 2020 — and sales rose 25% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period the year before. China leads with 60% of global Electric Vehicle (EV) sales, followed by Europe and the U.S. Newer markets like India and Thailand are also seeing growth, and in Norway over 80% of new cars are electric, though the U.S. only hit 4.6% in 2022 (20% in California) with analysts predicting 45% in a little over a decade.
EVs have clear advantages: they run without gasoline or ethanol, producing zero tailpipe emissions, and they are quiet, requiring less maintenance than gas-powered vehicles. Some can even supply electricity to homes in emergencies. Fred Lambert, lead writer for EV news site Electrek, adds, “they’re so much more fun to drive,” a less obvious but notable benefit.
A major concern for buyers
