After months of financial hardship following the Strike, Mom decided to rent out our front room. Mr. Hyde took it, and he fit right in. He always spoke pleasantly to the children, bowed politely to Mama in the hall, and even Papa loved the way he talked.
Papa often invited him into the warm kitchen to sit with us. There, Mr. Hyde advised Nels on his high-school courses and sometimes helped him with his Latin. Nels once struggled in school, but now he kept up with ease, and he stopped begging Papa to let him quit school.
One night Mr. Hyde read Dickens to us. Somehow, night after night, it became our routine. Each evening he would bring down a book and read aloud, opening new worlds to us. After David Copperfield and The Old Curiosity Shop, he gave us Shakespeare. We were totally captivated by the stories. Even when the warm weather came, we children didn’t go out to play.
One day, when Mr. Hyde took us deep into Ivanhoe, he got a letter and announced he must leave. He handed Mama a check and left his books to us. We were sorry to lose him, but excited about the books.
Now Nels read aloud to us each evening, just as Mr. Hyde had done. Nels had a fine voice, and I could see that made him very proud.
But the peace didn’t last. Mr. Kruper, who owned the bakery down the street, told Mom the checks Hyde gave everyone were worthless. “I’ll bet he owes you folks plenty, eh ” Mr. Kruper asked.
Mama looked around at all of us. Her eyes rested longest on Nels. “Read,” she told him gently, “read to us from Ivanhoe.”
Then she walked to the stove(炉子) and put the check into the flames. “No,” she answered Mr. Kruper. “He owes us nothing.”
4. What can we know about Mr. Hyde from paragraph 1
A. He paid the rent in advance.
B. He was familiar with the family.
C. He quickly won the family's trust.
D. He offered to help with housework.
5. What made Nels stop wanting to quit school
A. Mama's encouragement.
B. Papa's permission to work.
C. Mr. Hyde's interesting stories.
D. His better academic performance.
6. What does the underlined word "captivated" in paragraph 3 mean
A. Touched. B. Attracted. C. Shocked. D. Confused.
7. What can we infer about Mama from the story
A. She was too proud to admit loss.
B. She was easily cheated by strangers.
C. She prioritized spiritual values over wealth.
D. She wanted to protect Mr. Hyde's reputation.
C
While artificial intelligence (AI) is praised for its potential to increase efficiency, it often ignores a more human question: how will AI affect the daily experience of work This experience is what determines whether employees work well together, generate new ideas, or choose to remain in their roles.
In response, researchers suggest that measuring employee happiness could provide essential guidance during the AI shift. “Happiness does not take away from high performance. It is the engine of it,” says Nic Marks, an expert on workplace well-being. AI might change job tasks, but it is human leadership that shapes the workplace atmosphere. History offers a lesson: tools like email and smartphones, though designed to save time, frequently made work more stressful and less separate from personal life, proving that technology does not necessarily improve happiness.
A significant challenge is employee anxiety, particularly the fear of job loss caused by decisions made without open communication. When such fears are ignored, people become silent and less willing to contribute creatively, which is exactly what companies need to avoid during change. The core issue lies not in AI itself, but in how it is introduced. To overcome this, openness and involving staff in the process are vital to building the sense of security required for success.
Regularly measuring happiness gives leaders an immediate understanding of the situation. It show whether AI tools are truly reducing pressure or creating new burdens(负担). This continuous feedback enables quicker adjustments than traditional long-term plans can. A simple practice of measuring, discussing, and adjusting helps create a culture where concerns are addressed early and teams grow stronger.
Ultimately, AI will reshape what work is, but whether that work becomes more satisfying or more tiring depends on human choices. In this complex shift, closely attending to how people feel may offer the most reliable guide for ensuring technology truly improves work for everyone.
8. Why does the author mention email and smartphones in paragraph 2
A. To warn against the overuse of AI.
B. To compare old and new technologies.
C. To explain why workers dislike changes.
D. To prove technology's emotional limitations.
9. What can be inferred about employees' sense of security
A. It relies on AI's potential.
B. It leads to silence in work.
C. It results from ignoring fears.
D. It comes from open participation.
10. What is the author's attitude toward expecting AI itself to improve work experience
A. Skeptical. B. Tolerant. C. Unclear. D. Enthusiastic.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. Workplace fear blocks AI's progress.
B. Employee happiness guides AI's adoption.
C. AI efficiency outweighs employees' feelings.
D. AI development repeats past technological mistakes.
D
When strong winds strike, birds do not push back---they sense the change and adjust their wings, and fish do the same in shifting currents. Unlike the graceful, flexible bodies of birds and fish, the rigid (刚性) structures of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) leave them easily knocked off course by sudden currents. To address this challenge, researchers have taken inspiration from nature to create a robotic wing that reduces the disturbance caused by underwater currents and improves stability.
The team, led by the University of Southampton, looked to use the power of proprioception the body's internal sense of position, movement, and force. Using proprioception, birds sense changes in air flow through their feathers, while fish rely on sensors along their bodies to monitor water motion.
To copy this functionality, the engineers developed an innovative e-skin that can sense subtle changes caused by water currents. It consists of flexible liquid metal wires encased in soft silicone (硅胶). These act like nerves, sending signals as the wing bends. When hit by a sudden current, the wing first bends naturally, absorbing part of the impact without any energy input. The signals then activate two tubes housed inside the wing body, which are hydraulically pressurized (液压) to change its hardness and shape, correcting any remaining imbalance.
The results of its tests were impressive. The wing reduced force caused by abrupt underwater currents by 87% compared with rigid wings on conventional AUVs. It responded up to four times faster than soft wings without proprioception (本体感觉) and used five times less energy than systems using heat to change shape. Its ability to stabilize itself was about twice that of a flying barn owl (仓鸮), although the researchers noted that such biological comparisons should be interpreted with caution.
Right now, combining the wing with existing vehicle architectures may present a significant engineering challenge. “Connecting it to current systems would require rigid connectors to link soft and rigid structures. Further improvements are needed to make the attachment more secure and protect the electrical connections,” said Leo Micklem, lead author of the research.
12. What problem does the robotic wing primarily solve
A. Robots' lack of internal sensors.
B. AUVs' high production cost.
C. Robots' slow speed in still water.
D. AUVs' instability in currents.
13. What is the function of the tubes according to paragraph 3
A. To absorb current impact.
B. To adjust the wing's form.
C. To generate electrical signals.
D. To detect changes in water flow.
14. What do the test results in paragraph 4 suggest about the new wing
A. Its ability to replace rigid AUVs.
B. Its limitation in energy efficiency.
C. Its superiority over existing designs.
D. Its struggle with large disturbances.
15. What challenge does the new wing face according to Micklem
A. Connection of opposing materials.
B. Improvement of sensing accuracy.
C. Reduction of manufacturing costs.
D. Protection of the ocean environment.

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。
Many people eat broccoli or drink red wine because they believe the antioxidants(抗氧化物) in them can remove baleful substances and slow down aging. However, recent research suggests a different idea. These foods are good for us not because they protect us, but because they challenge our bodies in small ways. ___16___
Plants cannot move to escape danger. As a result, they produce chemicals to defend themselves against insects, heat, and disease. The spiciness of chili, the bitterness of broccoli, and the dryness of wine are all part of this defense system. ___17___ When we consume them, our bodies detect these signals and strengthen their natural ability to cope with stress.
Take broccoli as an example. It contains sulforaphane (萝卜硫素), which does not fight diseases directly. ___18___ In doing so, it helps us build stronger defenses and improve long-term health.
A certain level of challenge can be good for our health. Modern farming makes food safer and more stable, but it also reduces the stress plants experience, leading to fewer protective chemicals and weaker signals for the human body.
In contrast, the Mediterranean(地中海的) diet offers a different picture. It features foods like olives, nuts, and vegetables, which often grow in dry and difficult conditions. ___19___ When we eat them, we receive stronger signals that help our bodies respond and stay healthy. This may help explain why the Mediterranean diet is widely considered healthy and beneficial in the long run.
___20___ Rather than simply avoiding stress, our bodies benefit from manageable stresses that strengthen them and prepare them for future difficulties.
A. However, this is easier said than done.
B. Rather, it activates our built-in defense systems.
C. This view offers a new way to understand healthy eating.
D. For humans, these substances act as a mild form of stress.
E. To survive, they produce more chemicals to protect themselves.
F. Ultimately, health is built through balanced interaction with the world.
G. Highly processed foods, however, often provide fewer natural stress signals.

At 31, I shared my trouble with a close friend, who just asked me a simple question:“When was the last time you were actually here ” I had no ___24___. It took me years to figure out how to be truly ___25___. Not in a peaceful way, but just ___26___ whatever moment I was actually in.
The ___27___ came when I stopped trying to fix my entire life and just focused on my mornings. I ___28___ my day by doing five minutes of stretching without any ___29___. No phone. No music. Just me and my body. This was hard initially. I'd been conditioned to think that if I wasn't being productive, I was wasting time. Stretching in silence felt uncomfortable, but this discomfort was the ___30___. This small practice became a way of ___31___ my body and mind.
This habit didn't magically cure my ___32___ or turn me into a perfect person. However, it offered a different ___34___. It reminded me that living in the moment is not a destination to reach, but a(n) ___35___ practice to return to over and over again.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
It's often challenging for teenagers to connect with older generations, as differing habits and ways of thinking can lead to ___36___ (confuse) and a perceived“generation gap.” To help students navigate this divide, a teacher at Chongqing Yucai Secondary School assigned a hands-on project ___37___ (involve) direct interaction with senior citizens.
For 16-year-old student Zou Ziqian, ___38___ music lover who played in a school band, the task sparked a creative idea. He wondered ___39___ music could serve as a bridge between young people and seniors. With four classmates, he decided to form a band including elderly members.
The idea soon turned into action. At Chongqing Caiyunhu City Wetland Park, the students met Xiao Yunhua, a ___40___ (season) saxophone player. With her and two grandpas, the special band, with an average age of 63, ___41___ (luna), marking the start of an unusual journey.
At first, rehearsals were not smooth, as the students patiently demonstrated how to play several instruments, ___42___ harn es the elderly struggled to recall. Even so, the elderly responded with warm smiles and applause, ___43___ (visible) narrowing the distance between them.
The experience also led Zou to reassess long-held assumptions. Music he had dismissed ___44___ outdated began to reveal unexpected depth, motivating him to compose pieces of his own. Undoubtedly, music does more than form a band----it ___45___ (bridge) a generation gap.

The wind howled like a wounded beast, slamming snowflakes against Li Wei's face so hard they stung. He'd lost sight of his climbing partner, Zhang Hua, thirty minutes earlier when the blizzard hit the mountain — sudden, violent, and unforgiving. Their plan had been to reach the mid-mountain shelter before dusk, but now, dusk was long gone, and Li Wei found himself trapped on a narrow ledge, his gloved hands clinging to a frozen rock.
His phone had died an hour ago, and the temperature was dropping fast. Li Wei could feel his toes going numb inside his boots, and his breath came in short, white puffs. “Zhang Hua! Zhang Hua!” he shouted, but his voice was swallowed by the wind. Panic gnawed at his chest — he'd read stories of climbers freezing to death on this mountain, their bodies found months later, preserved in snow.
Just as he was about to give in to despair, a faint orange glow flickered in the distance. It was weak, almost hidden by the swirling snow, but it was there. Could it be the shelter Or was it a trick of his freezing mind Li Wei tightened his grip on the rock, trying to make out more details. The glow didn't move, and it seemed to grow a little brighter every few seconds.
With a surge of hope, he decided to move toward it. But the ledge was slippery, and one wrong step would send him plummeting into the dark abyss below. He inched forward, step by step, his eyes fixed on the glow. After what felt like an eternity, he reached a small cave entrance, and the glow became clearer----it was a small lantern, placed on a rock inside the cave.
Li Wei stumbled in, collapsing onto the cold ground. The lantern's light revealed a crumpled sleeping bag in the corner, but no sign of Zhang Hua. Where was his partner Just then, he heard a faint, muffled sound from outside — the creak of ice, followed by a scream.
Paragraph1: Li Wei scrambled to his feet, grabbing the lantern and rushing out of the cave.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2: When Li Wei finally pulled Zhang Hua onto the ledge, both of them were trembling violently.

第一节邮件范文
Dear Tom,
I took part in the social practice themed Rural Revitalization·Youth Power last week. Our group surveyed local special agricultural products.
We visited farmers and learned about their planting troubles. I felt proud of rural development. I plan to shoot short videos online to promote these local goods.
Yours,
Li Hua
读后续写范文
Paragraph1: Li Wei scrambled to his feet, grabbing the lantern and rushing out of the cave. The strong wind almost blew the light out. He followed the scream and spotted Zhang Hua hanging half off the ledge, one hand barely clutching an ice rock. Snow covered his body and his fingers were stiff with cold. Li Wei held the lantern in one hand and stretched out his other arm, shouting to calm his partner. He slowly moved closer, ignoring the biting wind, trying to reach Zhang Hua’s wrist.
Paragraph2: When Li Wei finally pulled Zhang Hua onto the ledge, both of them were trembling violently. They dragged themselves back into the warm cave with the lantern. They wrapped themselves tightly in the sleeping bag and shared leftover snacks. Zhang Hua said he slipped and fell while looking for Li Wei. That night, the two encouraged each other, waiting for the blizzard to stop. The small lantern not only kept them warm but also lit up their hope of survival.
