【答案】 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. I decided to design a gentle reminder app especially for the elderly. I listed simple functions: important dates, daily tasks, and warm notes. I focused on making the words big and the buttons easy to touch. Whenever I felt stuck, I thought of Mrs. Thompson’s kind smile and her wish for something to help her remember. I carefully tested every part again and again, making sure it was simple and helpful. Deep in my heart, I hoped this little app could bring convenience and warmth to her and more elderly people.
A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. I introduced the app’s purpose and showed how it worked. Ms. Davis praised my thoughtful idea and spoke highly of my project. After class, I brought the app to Mrs. Thompson. She was delighted and tried it at once. “This is exactly what I need,” she said happily. Watching her smile, I truly understood what Ms. Davis had meant: coding is not just code, but a way to use technology to care for others.2025-2026学年江苏常州市武进区前黄中学高三下学期二模适应性练习英语试卷

A
Shared mobility: Making travel easier for all
In many big cities in Europe and the US, it might seem like we’ve achieved cheap and easy mobility for everyone — just use your phone to find shared e-bikes and electric cars. But if you’re elderly, living in a low-income area or imagine without a smartphone or credit card, using these shared services becomes much more difficult. Here is a survey reporting barriers to using bike sharing.
Shared mobility could be a key part of a more sustainable transportation system. But to be most effective, it needs to include everyone. For-profit shared mobility providers have largely failed to deliver on this, but various initiatives and projects are finding creative solutions to reach underserved communities.
Public-Sector Intervention Governments support shared mobility options for low-income groups, expanding access while reducing private vehicle use. Programs prioritize cash payment options to include more populations. Non-Profit Innovation Organizations repurpose abandoned resources(e.g., Uber’s deserted e-bikes) into community-driven initiatives like E- Bike Libraries, offering free bikes, training, and social rides to underserved areas.
How to bridge the accessibility gap
Technology Adaptation Services avoid digital exclusion by keeping phone/ email booking systems alongside apps. Simplified operations lower barriers for munity-Centric Design Programs partner with trusted local hubs (libraries) and focus on daily needs (grocery runs, family visits), developing social inclusion for elderly groups. Gender and Family Fairness Carsharing services add child seats, women-friendly features (e.g., cleanliness, safety), and affordable pricing to address gaps in usage.
By combining economic support, grassroots innovation, and empathetic design, these efforts aim to make mobility available to everyone, reduce reliance on private vehicles, and ensure fair access for all. “You tend to plan for what you know. That’s why it’s so important to bring in different views in the development of mobility.” says Lina Mosshammer, founder and CEO of the Austrian mobility consulting company Point&.
21. What percentage of lower income people express concern on safety in the survey
A. 24%. B. 27%. C. 42%. D. 88%.
22. Which solution involves the idea of recycling used bikes
A. Public-Sector Intervention. B. Technology Adaptation.
C. Community-Centric Design. D. Non-Profit Innovation.
23. What does Mosshammer stress to address the challenge
A. Increasing urban mobility. B. Offering affordable alternatives.
C. Integrating diverse viewpoints. D. Consulting with the users beforehand.
B
Junji’s initial excitement upon arriving in the French town of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie for his semester abroad quickly gave way to a more complex emotion born of a growing list of worries — the unfamiliar climate, the fast-paced local language threatening to make his classroom French useless, and heavy traffic in the ancient narrow streets, yet one concern stood apart: a fear that it would be tough to fit in with the new eating pattern. What he had not anticipated, however, was that the real challenge would be social barriers, which seemed to be rooted in the very fabric of daily life.
On his third day, he wandered into a local bakery. He just pointed to a golden cake, and the baker, a woman named Sylvie, stopped for a moment and then served him in silence. When Junji paid, he said, “Thanks!” Sylvie replied with a phrase “S’il vous pla t”. Junji, assuming this was part of a polite goodbye, hurried out of the door, saying “Au revoir”. The following morning, he tried to greet his hostess Madame Moreau with a casual “Hey”, only to be met with a quiet response. Moreau explained that in France, entering a home or beginning a conversation without the formality of “Bonjour” was often perceived not as a simple mistake, but as disrespect.
The real moment of confusion, however, occurred during a community dinner. An elderly neighbor, Gaston, offered Junji a taste of his wine. Junji, wanting to be polite, declined with a wave of his hand, a gesture he considered perfectly friendly. Gaston seemed taken aback and grew so awkward. Later, Moreau explained that dealing with such an offer from an elder like that could be misinterpreted as rejecting friendship and community. In a society that valued such connections, accepting, even just symbolically, was the expected bridge.
It was then that Junji understood. His challenge was about decoding a whole new set of unwritten rules. He realized that learning to read the hidden intentions that floated beneath the surface of every interaction was crucial.
24. What bothered Junji most initially when he got to Saint-Cirq-Lapopie
A. The fear of local socializing. B. His trouble with the local language.
C. The unfamiliar local climate. D. His lack of adaptation to the local diet.
25. What was Junji’s misstep in the local bakery
A. He used informal responses. B. He left without any word.
C. He pointed rudely at the cake. D. He failed to greet the baker.
26. Why did Gaston feel embarrassed during the community dinner
A. Junji talked with him symbolically. B. Junji gave an inappropriate gift to him.
C. Junji incorrectly refused his invitation. D. Junji tasted his wine without comment.
27. What does Junji’s experience indicate
A. Cultural gap influences our communication.
B. We overcome culture shock by exploring it.
C. We should welcome cross-cultural lifestyles.
D. Culture can help discipline our daily behaviors.
C
The dawn chorus of birdsong has inspired poets and nature lovers for thousands of years, but the reason why birds start the day this way is an enduring mystery. Now, a series of experiments on zebra finches (斑胸草雀) suggests that while darkness holds back singing, birds build up a strong motivation to sing in the night that causes them to burst into song at dawn.
Satoshi Kojima at the Korea Brain Research Institute and his colleagues studied lab-raised zebra finches in carefully-controlled lighting conditions. When the team delayed sudden exposure to bright light until three hours after actual dawn, the finches, which were awake, remained silent in the dark; once the light was turned on, they sang more intensely than usual. However, when the lights came on three hours earlier than true dawn, the chorus was less intense.
“The birds are already awake in the dark before the lights come on,” Kojima says. He notes that darkness subdues their natural urge to sing, which in turn boosts their singing motivation, leading to a rebound of intense singing when lights come on.
The researchers then administered the drug luzindole, which blocks the effects of melatonin (褪黑激素), a hormone that helps regulate wakefulness cycles in many animals. Birds that were given this drug five hours before the normal lights-on time woke up more quickly and began singing earlier than those in the control group. Besides, analysis of the birds’ songs revealed rapid structural shifts in the first hour after dawn compared to the second. “Due to the absence of singing during the night, the vocal motor system and song structure may slightly suffer, and the dawn chorus serves to quickly restore or improve them,” says Kojima.
While this study examined only one species, similar drivers may apply to other bird species, he says. But Diego Gil at the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid, Spain, urges caution. There are “extensive differences between species: how, when and what birds sing in the dawn chorus”, he says. “This explains why 11 different assumptions have been proposed to understand the phenomenon.”
28. What does Kojima’s experiment in Paragraph 2 mainly show
A. Finches’ chorus strength relates to time staying in the dark.
B. Lab-raised zebra finches are more sensitive to light changes.
C. Earlier light exposure results in a more intense dawn chorus.
D. Earlier light exposure makes the birds’ dawn chorus last longer.
29. What does the underlined word “subdues” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Transforms. B. Restricts. C. Motivates. D. Ignores.
30. What can we learn from the experiment with luzindole
A. Luzindole improves birds’ vocal motor system.
B. Melatonin showed no effect on the control group.
C. Melatonin may prevent birds’ waking and singing.
D. Luzindole directly lifts birds’ dawn-singing motivation.
31. What do Diego Gil’s words imply
A. More experiments are needed to confirm the assumption.
B. The findings on zebra finches may not fit all bird species.
C. All proposed assumptions about dawn chorus are unreliable.
D. Species differences have no impact on dawn chorus patterns.
D
Engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed an innovative ultrasonic (超声波) system to shake water out of an atmospheric water harvester, recovering captured water in just minutes, a breakthrough aiming to address global water shortages.
Atmospheric water harvesting, which collects water even from dry desert air, has been explored by scientists for ages. “Traditional methods rely heavily on solar heat to release the water absorbed by a special material. Any material good at capturing water doesn’t want to part with that water,” said the team leader Boriskina. “The process tends to drag on for hours to turn out usable water, unable to meet urgent needs in water-starved regions.”
Ikra Shuvo, an MIT graduate student specializing in ultrasound technology for wearable medical devices, became a collaborator when Boriskina recognized his ultrasound expertise combined with theirs could solve the water recovery problem head-on.
Ultrasound is a form of high-frequency sound wave that can generate microscopic shakes when acting on a substance. This being the case, the team put forward a straightforward idea: Applying ultrasound to the water-harvesting material, they could break the weak bonds between the water molecules and the material, quickly causing the water to shake loose and drop out as droplets.
The team set out to develop an ultrasonic water-harvesting device. It is heat-free but requires external electricity. A solar cell can run the system and also act as a sensor that signals when the storage material has reached full limit. Programmed to activate automatically whenever enough water is ready to be collected, the setup boasts 45-fold higher energy efficiency than heat-based alternatives, operates independent of sunlight and enables repeated daily cycles for greater water output. It can be easily positioned in remote dry regions, providing a steady supply of clean water and a more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly alternative to energy-intensive processes like seawater desalination.
Endless possibilities will unfold when distinct fields of science — ultrasound technology, materials science and environmental engineering — come together. The Svetlana-led MIT team’s leap in water recovery technology is a powerful testament to this very truth, one that is anticipated to bring vital solutions to water-scarce regions.
32. What did Boriskina say about traditional water harvesting methods
A. They’re low-yielding. B. They use waterproof materials.
C. They’re resource-intensive. D. They vary from region to region.
33. On what basis did the team propose the novel idea in paragraph 4
A. The easy release of water. B. Ultrasound’s physical properties.
C. The toughness of materials. D. Ultrasound’s application ranges.
34. What is the function of a solar cell in the ultrasonic device
A. To heat the storage material. B. To absorb and draw on sunlight.
C. To power the device and monitor capacity. D. To set the device for automatic operation.
35. What mainly accounts for the team’s technological breakthrough
A. Pressing water demand. B. Cross-disciplinary integration.
C. Interschool academic exchanges. D. Svetlana’s exceptional leadership.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My name is Mae. I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others.
“Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” She added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project.
The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen.
“Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea ”
I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said.
Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh.
Her words sank in. At that moment, an idea formed in my mind. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.”
“Oh I’ll try not to forget that,” she laughed.
