A
Before my first hike to the Rocky Mountains, I was a homebody. I had friends to hang out with, several hobbies, and I felt comfortable spending weeks or even months in my hometown without going anywhere. I thought there was no difference between seeing something on TV and seeing something with one’s own eyes.
The situation changed one day when Adam, my best friend, came to my room. He succeeded in persuading me to join him on his trip to the Rocky Mountains.
This was my first time in the mountains, so I was turning my head in all directions. Unluckily, the weather was foggy most of the time, and the higher we climbed the mountains, the less we could see. But I still enjoyed the hike. I walked fast, and because of that I ran out of energy long before we got to the top. Adam knew how to save energy.
When we finally got to the top, nothing had really changed. The same fog was covering everything. I felt disappointed, as I expected to see the view from above and take some photos. We spent a couple of hours on the top, and decided to turn back. Then the wind suddenly cleared the clouds and the sun came out. It wasn’t until then that I knew how beautiful the mountains looked. And for some moments I couldn’t believe my eyes.
This experience inspired me to break through my limitations and accept new challenges. I realized that I wouldn't be able to live a life without visiting the mountains at least twice a year.
1. What a person did the author use to be before his first hike to the Rocky Mountains
A. One enjoyed hiking in the mountains. B. One felt comfortable in his hometown.
C. One liked persuading others. D. One was good at talking with others.
2. What made the author unhappy during his first hike
A. Feeling tired during the hike. B. Not taking a camera with him.
C. Having to climb for a long time. D. The heavy fog covering everything.
3. How did the author most probably feel after the hike
A. Disappointed. B. Comfortable.
C. Encouraged. D. Confused.
B
In a wheat field in France, a cat meets a black-bellied hamster (仓鼠). Too far from her burrow (洞穴) to run for shelter, the wild hamster rises on her back legs to face her enemy. The cat backs away. “They’re afraid of nothing,” says Alexandre Lehmann, a biologist who has worked with these wild hamsters for the past 12 years. “They fight against cats and dogs and even farmers. They try to fight against tractors.” It’s a good thing that the black-bellied hamster won’t go down with a fight. Because in France, where only 500 to 1,000 remain in the wild, they are in a fight for their lives.
At the Stork and Otter Re-introduction Centre in Alsace, Lehmann and his colleagues breed captive hamsters and set the young hamsters free into the wild. But raising black-bellied hamsters isn’t exactly easy. Remember, they have attitude. Forget humans — they don’t even like each other. “You have to make sure the male and female don’t kill each other,” Lehmann says.
Black-bellied hamsters might think of themselves as tough guys. But to a fox or an eagle, they’re just a four-legged snack. To survive, hamsters need to be set into a field with lots of leafy hiding places. That’s a problem in Alsace, where most farmers plant corn. The corn hasn’t sprouted (发芽) in early spring, when hamsters come out of their burrows from hibernation (冬眠). In the bare fields the hamsters are easy targets for their enemies.
Some older farmers don’t want hamsters in their fields because of their reputation as crop-chewing pests. But most are willing to help, especially since the French government will pay farmers to grow early-sprouting crops such as alfalfa and winter wheat and allow hamsters to be set free on their lands. It’s a way to protect not only the hamsters, but also other small animals in leafy fields.
4. By saying “It’s a good thing that the black-bellied hamster won’t go down with a fight.” in Paragraph 1, the author means “____________.”
A. The black-bellied hamsters are born fighters
B. The number of hamsters won’t go down quickly
C. It’s good for the increase of hamsters’ population
D. It’s a quite great experience to see hamsters fighting
5. Why is it hard to raise black-bellied hamsters
A. They will run into the wild. B. They are not fond of humans.
C. The male and female won’t live in peace. D. The male can’t understand the female’s attitude.
6. What problem do hamsters trying to survive in Alsace have
A. Their burrows are always taken by foxes.
B. They are unable to feed themselves on corn.
C. Their hibernation is disturbed frequently.
D. They are exposed to their enemies in early spring.
7. Those farmers who are willing to help hamsters will ____________.
A. plant more corn B. try to get rid of pests
C. grow plants that shoot early D. separate them from other animals
C
If you’re reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh — ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good — looking, too. Right But what do other people think about your generation
Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face — down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies to become successful in real life — or “IRL”, as you would say
Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt (宠坏的) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents” who were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extra — curricular activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
Does the face — down generation need a heads — up Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic (热情的) and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.
So if you’re one of the oh — ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face — down generation. Chances are that you will do GR8 (great) and LOL (laugh out loud).
8. According to the passage, what is a common concern among some adults about the “face — down generation”
A. They lack creativity and intelligence.
B. They are too focused on their phones rather than the real world.
C. They have no interest in extra — curricular activities.
D. They are unwilling to use modern technology.
9. The underlined phrase “helicopter parents” in Paragraph 3 most probably means parents who _________.
A. work as a helicopter pilot B. often travel around by helicopter
C. are overly involved in their child’s life D. encourage their child to be independent
10. What can we infer about the writer’s attitude towards the younger generation
A. Worried and critical. B. Hopeful and positive.
C. Indifferent and neutral. D. Doubtful but curious.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. The Rise of Helicopter Parents
B. Challenges Facing Today’s Youth
C. The Face — Down Generation: A Reason to Be Hopeful
D. How to Deal with Teenagers’ Phone Addiction
D
Researchers have built the smallest fully programmable autonomous robots ever created. These machines can swim through liquid, sense their surroundings, respond on their own, and operate for months at a time. Powered entirely by light, the robots contain minicomputers that allow them to follow programmed paths, detect local temperature changes, and adjust their movement in response.
As is known, fish and other large swimmers move by pushing water backward, generating forward motion. The tiny robots take a very different approach. These robots generate an electrical field that gently pushes charged bits in the surrounding liquid. As those charged bits move, they drag nearby tiny water molecules with them, effectively creating motion in the liquid around the robot.
True autonomy requires more than movement. A robot must also be able to sense its environment, make decisions, and power itself. All of those parts must fit onto a chip that is only a small part of a millimeter across.
One of the biggest problems was power. “The key challenge for the electronics,” Blaauw, a researcher, says, “is that the solar boards are tiny and produce only 75 nanowatts (纳瓦) of power.” To make the system work, the team designed specialized circuits that operate at extremely low voltages (电压), cutting power consumption by more than 1,000 times.
Space was another major limitation. The solar boards take up most of the robot’s surface, leaving very little room for computing hardware. To solve this, the researchers redesigned how the robot’s software works. “We squeezed what would usually require many instructions for movement control into a single, special instruction to reduce the program’s length to fit in the robot’s tiny memory space,” Blaauw explains.
Together, these advances produced what the researchers believe is the first sub-millimeter robot capable of real decision-making. “This is really just the first chapter,” says Blaauw. “We’ve shown that you can put a brain, a sensor and a motor into something almost too small to see, and have it survive and work for months. Once you have that foundation, you can layer on all kinds of intelligence and functionality. It opens the door to a whole new future for mini-robots.”
12. What mainly powers the tiny robots
A. Batteries. B. Water flow. C. Solar boards. D. Electric fields.
13. What guarantees the robot’s true autonomy
A. Big memory space. B. Integrated key parts. C. Long program length. D. Single movement step.
14. What was the key challenge for the robots’ electronics
A. Limited memory space. B. High voltage requirements.
C. Extremely low power supply. D. Unstable temperature control.
15. What is the main significance of the research according to Blaauw
A. Creating long-lasting micro-batteries. B. Developing new solar power systems.
C. Achieving full automation in large robots. D. Enabling intelligence in nearly invisible robots.

I (Darwin Zapp) grew up watching Hong Kong kung fu movies with my father and grandfather — Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen were my heroes. I always dreamed of learning kung fu, but I never thought I would find a teacher in my hometown of Sydney, Australia. That changed when I joined my university’s martial arts (武术) club and met Li Xiaoran, a Chinese student who was learning kung fu from Master Ye Bingchen. Li invited me to join their training, and that’s where I met Lorenzo Popoli, another Australian who shared my passion for Chinese martial arts.
At first, we had many misunderstandings. Lorenzo and I thought kung fu was just about fighting — we wanted to learn cool moves to show off. But Master Ye taught us that kung fu is an art, not a weapon (武器). He explained the cultural meaning behind each move: respect for elders, discipline (自制力), and harmony. He also told us that many Australians misunderstood Chinese martial arts, seeing it only as a form of fighting. Through training, we began to understand — kung fu is about self-improvement, not beating others. This was a new idea for us; in Australian culture, sports are often about competition, but kung fu taught us to compete with ourselves.
Lorenzo and I became close friends through our training. We would practice together for hours, helping each other correct our moves and discussing the differences between Chinese and Australian cultures. Li would tell us stories about Chinese traditions, and we would share our own culture with him. Master Ye often said, “Martial arts is a bridge that connects different cultures.” He was right. Kung fu brought three people from different backgrounds together — Chinese, Australian, and Italian-Australian — and taught us to respect and appreciate our differences.
One day, we received an invitation to perform kung fu at a local cultural exchange event in Sydney. When we were preparing for the performance, something unexpected happened — Lorenzo accidentally sprained his ankle while practicing a difficult move, making it impossible for him to perform the part we had prepared for weeks.
注意：
(1) 续写词数应为150左右；
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1 Feeling Panicked, we worried that we would have to give up the performance, then I turned to Li and Master Ye for help.

Paragraph 2 With our new performance planned properly and our hearts full of confidence, we stepped onto the stage hand in hand.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短文。
I (Darwin Zapp) grew up watching Hong Kong kung fu movies with my father and grandfather — Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen were my heroes. I always dreamed of learning kung fu, but I never thought I would find a teacher in my hometown of Sydney, Australia. That changed when I joined my university’s martial arts (武术) club and met Li Xiaoran, a Chinese student who was learning kung fu from Master Ye Bingchen. Li invited me to join their training, and that’s where I met Lorenzo Popoli, another Australian who shared my passion for Chinese martial arts.
At first, we had many misunderstandings. Lorenzo and I thought kung fu was just about fighting — we wanted to learn cool moves to show off. But Master Ye taught us that kung fu is an art, not a weapon (武器). He explained the cultural meaning behind each move: respect for elders, discipline (自制力), and harmony. He also told us that many Australians misunderstood Chinese martial arts, seeing it only as a form of fighting. Through training, we began to understand — kung fu is about self-improvement, not beating others. This was a new idea for us; in Australian culture, sports are often about competition, but kung fu taught us to compete with ourselves.
Lorenzo and I became close friends through our training. We would practice together for hours, helping each other correct our moves and discussing the differences between Chinese and Australian cultures. Li would tell us stories about Chinese traditions, and we would share our own culture with him. Master Ye often said, “Martial arts is a bridge that connects different cultures.” He was right. Kung fu brought three people from different backgrounds together — Chinese, Australian, and Italian-Australian — and taught us to respect and appreciate our differences.
One day, we received an invitation to perform kung fu at a local cultural exchange event in Sydney. When we were preparing for the performance, something unexpected happened — Lorenzo accidentally sprained his ankle while practicing a difficult move, making it impossible for him to perform the part we had prepared for weeks.

【答案】
Feeling Panicked, we worried that we would have to give up the performance, then I turned to Li and Master Ye for help. Master Ye smiled calmly and said, “Kung fu is never about one single move or person — it’s about teamwork and adaptability.” Li suggested redesigning the performance with Lorenzo sitting, focusing on his upper-body movements. Inspired by their advice, we worked hard for the next two days. Lorenzo practiced from his chair, while Li and I adjusted our positions around him to create a balanced formation. Master Ye reminded us that true martial arts spirit shines brightest when facing difficulties with a calm heart.
With our new performance planned properly and our hearts full of confidence, we stepped onto the stage hand in hand. The audience watched quietly as we began. Lorenzo, seated in the center, moved his arms with grace and power, while Li and I circled around him, our moves perfectly matched. We showed not only the beauty of kung fu but also the strength of friendship and mutual support. When we finished, the crowd burst into warm applause. At that moment, I finally understood Master Ye’s words — kung fu is truly a bridge, and real victory lies in never giving up on each other.
