At 16, Benjamin Davis, a sophomore at Bishop Feehan High School in Massachusetts, has
invented a revolutionary desktop system that recycles plastic bottles and 3D printing waste into
high-quality 3D printing filament (塑料丝). His groundbreaking work won him first place at the
2025 International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) and the $75,000 Regeneron Young
Scientist Award, bringing him widespread recognition and increasing attention from scientific
communities around the world.
Benjamin’s inspiration struck when he noticed massive amounts of plastic waste piling up in
his school’s art room. As he watched these useless materials being thrown away each day, he felt
deeply concerned about the growing environmental damage caused by plastic pollution.
Determined to find a practical solution, he began to research ways to change waste into valuable
resources. Over 18 months, he worked patiently in his garage, researching, designing, and
constructing different models until he finally created a small, and advanced machine.
His device can shred plastic waste, melt it, and form it into smooth and consistent 3D printing
filament in a single continuous pared with traditional industrial recycling machines,
his design uses 70% less energy and produces materials of higher quality. Schools and creative
spaces across the globe have already expressed strong interest in his invention, and several
institutions have requested detailed prototypes for further testing.
At first, few were quick to credit someone of his age with the ability to tackle such a complex
technical undertaking. Teachers and peers questioned whether his small machine could work
steadily and meet real-world standards. However, Benjamin never lost confidence. He tested more
than 50 versions, stayed up late making improvements, and carefully recorded each result until his
device performed perfectly.
Benjamin now plans to study mechanical engineering at MIT. He hopes his experience will
encourage more young people to care about the environment and take practical action to solve real
problems.
24．What inspired Benjamin to create the recycling machine
A．His enthusiasm for machinery.
B．The plastic waste problem in his school.
C．The global recognition and attention.
D．A grand award from a competition.
25．What is an advantage of Benjamin’s machine according to the text
A．It’s user-friendly. B．It’s cost-effective.
C．It’s energy-efficient. D．It’s high-productive.
26．Which words can best describe Benjamin Davis
A．Creative and committed. B．Kind and responsible.
C．Hard-working and humble. D．Insistent and generous.
27．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．A Student’s MIT Dream. B．The Development of 3D Printing.
C．The Future Belonging to the Young. D．A Teen Turning Waste into Treasure.
C
Outgoing personality traits are often associated with top corporate roles, but new research
suggests businesses miss out when they fail to find and promote executives with more understated
styles. Harvard Business School researcher Francesca Gino has found that introverts can play a
crucial role in leading teams.
She and her collaborators asked bosses to rate how extroverted they considered themselves
and then studied how their teams worked. They found that extroverts were more dominant, drove
conversations and were less receptive to new ideas. Introverts, on the other hand, listened to ideas,
internalized them and were able to improve team performance. Gino said that introverts
demonstrate superior performance when they are leading a team of proactive workers.
It seems it's easier for extroverts to climb the corporate ladder, she noted. A 2009 study
conducted by researchers found that 60 percent of top level executives displayed high levels of
extroversion. But introverts clearly have something to offer, Gino said, citing examples of
successful introverted leaders, such as Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates.
Extroverts feel more energized by social interactions whereas introverts are more energized
by solitud — but this isn't necessarily linked to how shy or good at, say, public speaking,
someone is, says Nancy Ancowitz, a business communication coach and author of Selfpromotion
for Introverts: The Quiet Guide to Getting Ahead. Introverts can use simple cues to make sure
their value is not overlooked, Ancowitz said. "Sometimes it's raising a finger, leaning forward,
saying someone' s name — any of those cues can work. The important part is you need to be
heard, you need to make your contributions known, otherwise you can get passed up for the raises
and other people get the credit for your hard work.”
Some·leadership traits might come a little bit more naturally to extroverts, according to
Jennifer Kahnweiler, an executive coach. Kahnweiler, who defines introverts as low-key thinkers
who are energized by solitude and prefer in-depth conversation to casual chatter, interviewed
introverted executives who successfully climbed the corporate ranks. These leaders had learned to
put careful thought into their social presentation at work and to manage expectations so that
bosses and co-workers could see the up-side of their personal work style. The executives she
studied had a hyperawareness about how they were viewed and managed it to their benefit.
According to Gino of Harvard Business School, one of the key takeaways from her research
is that anyone can learn to practice effective leadership. She found that regardless of their
personality type, when pushed to try different styles, people were able to learn the positive
leadership characteristics of both introverts and extroverts.
28．Unlike an extrovert, an introverted leader performs best when .
A．he is engaged in meaningful conversations
B．the workers he leads often take the initiatives
C．he improves on the new ideas proposed by workers
D．he becomes a collaborator to his boss and workers
29．Introverted leaders make their presence felt by .
A．overcoming shyness in public speaking
B．working hard and contributing to shared goals
C．sending out verbal or nonverbal signals
D．getting credit for what they have done
30．Like the extroverts, introverted leaders .
A．tend to be low-key but efficient thinkers.
B．know how to conduct conversation with workers.
C．expect their workers and bosses to respect them.
D．try to manage how other people look at them.
31．The new research mainly tells us that .
A．introverts can also become great corporate leaders
B．introverts should follow the examples of extroverts
C．introverts should change their leadership styles
D．the best leaders combine the styles of introverts and extroverts

Are we about to use Gene Editing Technology to grow wings Will we all be uploading our
brains to the Amazon cloud If you love science and engineering, sci-fi is the place you turn to
imagine the answers. The problem is that many people are getting the wrong messages from these
visions of tomorrow.
There are two main ways that people misread sci-fi. Let’s start with the simpler one, known
as the Torment Nexus Problem. Coined in a 2021 tweet, it refers to a situation in which people
read or watch a sci-fi story but focus on its futuristic tech — which, in the original stories, is
often the very source of human suffering — rather than the story’s actual point. As a result, you
get billionaire Peter Thiel co-founding a company called Palantir, named after the fantasy tech of
the “seeing stones” in The Lord of the Rings that drive their users to evil and madness. Palantir’s
products have recently been used in airstrikes on Gaza. The author J. R. R. Tolkien would not be
amused.
The second major way people misread science fiction could be called the Blueprint Problem.
Essentially, it’s the mistaken idea that sci-fi provides an exact model for what is coming next and
if we copy what happens in sci-fi, we will arrive in a glorious future. The Blueprint Problem
inspired a lot of early space programmes in the 1950s, which prioritised putting humans into space
rather than exploring it remotely with robotic spacecraft. We were told AI would become our
obedient servants and brilliant experts in so much sci-fi over the past century, making robocops
and holographic (全息的) doctors seem inevitable — but they aren’t.
Science fiction isn’t a map or a prescription. Instead, it is a world view, a way of approaching
problems with the underlying assumption that things don’t have to be the way they are. The future
isn’t predetermined; it’s a process, and people are actively shaping it.
32．The mention of “Palantir” serves to show that ________.
A．Tolkien’s work has inspired real-world evil
B．name-choosing is vital for a company’s image
C．sci-fi serves as a practical guide for inventors
D．the sci-fi story’s true message often goes unnoticed
33．What is the “Blueprint Problem” as described in paragraph 3
A．Having robots take over human jobs.
B．Viewing sci-fi as a perfect future model.
C．Expecting authors to engineer real tech.
D．Favoring robots over astronauts in space.
34．What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A．Sci-fi exposes the essence of things.
B．Sci-fi is a rigid guide for future planning.
C．Sci-fi is a mindset for re-examining reality.
D．Sci-fi predicts specific technological outcomes.
35．What can be a suitable title for the passage
A．The Misreading Traps of Sci-Fi. B．The Hidden Dangers of Sci-Fi.
C．The Moral Dilemmas in Sci-Fi . D． The Technological Fantasies of
Sci-Fi.
第二节（共 12.5 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 22.5 分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多
余选项。
Imagine this: A big earthquake is about to hit. The ground is still and the sky is clear.
Humans go about their day, unaware of what’s coming. But the animals They know. Dogs start
barking uncontrollably and birds fly away in a confused mess. Even fish act strangely, swimming
quickly in wild patterns. Hours later — disaster hits. 36
Months before a 7.3 magnitude (震级) earthquake hit Haicheng, China, in 1975, villagers
reported snakes waking up and coming out in the dead of winter and dogs acting in an unusual
way. 37 This decision saved thousands of lives.
Similarly, before the disastrous Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004, elephants were observed
running inland and birds deserting their low-lying nesting areas. Many wild animals seemed to
escape to safety.
38 The answer lies in their ability to pick up signals we don’t notice. Many animals
have heightened sensitivity to vibrations (震动) in the ground. Elephants, for example, can sense
earthquake waves through their feet. Changes in air pressure and electrostatic fields (静电场)
provide other warning signals. Birds and insects are highly sensitive to air pressure, which often
changes before hurricanes and tsunamis. 39 Dogs, known for their powerful noses, might
pick up these slight chemical changes before humans.
Do humans still have this instinct (本能)
Before modern technology, humans depended on natural instincts to survive. Have you ever
had a strong feeling that something bad was about to happen Have you ever changed plans at the
last minute, only to realize you avoided an accident 40 But we ignore them and trust our
reasoning. Animals don’t second-guess themselves — they just react.
A．How do animals know
B．What signals do animals sense
C．Modern technology has made us forget these skills.
D．Some scientists believe we still have potential survival instincts.
E．Earthquakes sometimes send out gases from underground faults.
F．The government took the warnings seriously and told people to leave.
G．Real-world cases prove that animals can sense disasters before they hit.

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。
In the heart of the Arctic Fox Observatory, Lily, a young and spirited girl, watched her
brother Alex softly petting a fox curling up in his arms. As the children of the observatory’s
researchers, they were not strangers to those joyful Arctic creatures and often saw them happily
leaping up and down, digging holes in the snow for warmth, and chasing after their prey. Of the
two, Alex seemed to be more attached to those furry animals and formed a particularly strong
bond with those lovely friends.
“We’re not small kids, Alex. It’s high time we matured and stopped treating the foxes like
pets,” Lily said. Alex said in disagreement, “But they seem to enjoy my petting and respond to
me!” Smiling softly, Lily jokingly called him “a fox charmer”. But Alex just smiled and turned
blind eyes to it.
Suddenly, an urgent alarm set off, followed by flashing red lights, indicating there were
troubles. Rushing to see what was happening, they discovered the surroundings were colder than
ever, with frost beginning to form on the wall. Never had Lily seen such a sight in the observatory.
“The heating system must have failed!” she exclaimed in disbelief.
Wasting no time, Lily sent a message to their parents, who were doing fieldwork outside.
Now, it was up to Lily and Alex to face the extreme cold themselves and survive the extreme cold
until help arrived. As time went by, their bodies began to shake uncontrollably. “We must do
something or we’ll freeze to death!” Lily cried loudly in desperation.
With panic setting in, Alex noticed that the pack of foxes huddling together in the snow just
now began to dig a snow hole. In a moment of inspiration, he remembered how the foxes would
dig deep into the snow to protect themselves from the extreme cold, creating a warm environment
beneath the frozen Arctic land.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为 150 个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
“I’ve got an idea to keep us warm,” Alex smiled and comforted his sister.
After more than two hours, their parents came to their rescue.

One possible version:
"I've got an idea to keep us warm,"Alex smiled and comforted his sister."We can dig a
snow hole like the foxes.It'll trapheat and protect us from the bitter cold."Lily's eyes lit up with
hope.Together,they started digging into the snow,using theirhands and whatever tools they could
find.As they dug deeper,they felt the temperature around them rising slightly.Finally,theycollapsed
into the small snow cave they had created,hugging each other tightly for warmth.
After more than two hours,their parents came to their rescue.Upon seeing the makeshift
snow cave,their parents were bothrelieved and impressed."You two are incredible,"their father
said,his voice filled with pride.Lily and Alex were carefully pulledfrom the snow cave and
wrapped in warm blankets.Sitting in the observatory's emergency shelter,they couldn't help but
smileat each other,grateful for the unbreakable bond they shared.From that day on,they
appreciated the Arctic foxes even more,notjust for their beauty but for the valuable lesson the
foxes had taught them about survival.
