I was six when Short Circuit, the story of a small robot that came to life after a malfunction, first
reached our screen. That single viewing planted in me a wish no later lesson could erase: to build such
a machine. I grew up with Lego bricks always in my hands, and the fascination never left me, not even
after I learned how hard it is to turn a child's dream into a machine that really works.
University was not a sudden revelation(启示 ) for me. It was simply a step along a path I had
already chosen. My professors inspired me, and their lectures gave me the tools to make that dream real.
After finishing my PhD, I joined Agile Robots, a robotics company, first writing algorithms in the
research department and later moving to the control team, where a robot's every motion is first
determined and then set going by the commands I pass on.
Of every phase, testing holds me most. Watching what began as equations and lines of code take
on a body and move with a steadiness no screen could promise is an excitement that never wears off.
But the work is not all enthusiasm. Dozens of engineers lean on one product, and some bugs
surface at the far edge of what our models predict. Such an error behaves like a needle in a pile of straw.
We often have to work backwards, patiently, through successive failures, to discover where they came
from, which takes a strong sense of mathematical abstraction.
I am also fascinated by what comes next: giving a body to a program that once lived only in a
virtual world. Yet I never forget why we build these machines—they are made to help us, not to replace
us, and it is not technology that causes harm but the way we use it.
To students who dream of robotics, I would say one thing: curiosity makes all the difference. Keep
digging, and never settle for a surface understanding—even the hardest subjects hide a kind of beauty.
24.What first made the author want to build robots
A. A robot film he watched. B. Lego bricks he played with.
C. A visit to a robotics company. D. Lectures from his professors.
25.What does the author do in the control team
A. Define the robots' motion track. B. Plan movements and send signals.
C. Test whether the robots work well. D. Train new engineers to use robots.
26.What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about
A. The limitation of model prediction. B. The value of team effort.
C. The power of mathematical thinking. D. The difficulty of fault finding.
27.What is the author's attitude towards the future of robots
A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Enthusiastic. D. Indifferent.
C
Geneticist Cameron Peace from Washington State University once received leaf samples collected
from an old apple tree in Maine. Sent by local fruit-preservation enthusiasts, the sample was meant to
identify this mystery tree growing on a property dating back to the American Revolutionary War. When
Peace compared its genetic fingerprint against his large database, he got an unexpected result: the tree's
DNA perfectly matched a genetically predicted founder of many American apple varieties, whose
physical sample had long been missing.
Modern commercial apple production faces hidden risks. Though hundreds of apple varieties exist
in North America, market production relies on a handful of cultivars(品种). Such monoculture makes
apples easy to get bacterial and plant diseases, worsened by unstable weather. Apples cannot grow into
identical fruit-bearing trees from seeds due to cross-pollination(异花授粉). To preserve the features of
one favorite apple variety, farmers must reproduce new trees through grafting(嫁接). Ancient grafted
apple trees, surviving on long abandoned farmland, serve as living genetic banks. They store valuable
plant characteristics such as resistance to diseases and rough climate, qualities that modern commercial
apples may have gradually cast aside for features more favoured by consumer markets.
Local apple hunters located the aging tree while rescuing valuable samples in former settlements.
Driven not purely by scientific purposes but also by fascination with regional history, they gathered
tissue for DNA-based identification. Further analysis drawing on international shared genetic data
revealed its provenance: Drap d'Or de Bretagne, a valuable French cultivar recorded as early as 1628.
Brought across the Atlantic by early European immigrants, this grafted tree had survived unnoticed for
centuries in North America. It represented the first confirmed living sample of its kind on the continent.
The rediscovery means far more than solving a historical puzzle. This tree, which has long been
overlooked, preserves valuable genetic material. Scientists hope to introduce its strong survival
characteristics into modern programs of apple improvement. The case also highlights that countless
forgotten old trees across the continent may hold untapped treasures for future agriculture, waiting to
be noticed and carefully studied.
28.What is special about the Maine apple tree
A. It was found by a geneticist. B. It goes back to the war times.
C. It comes from a DNA database. D. It is a theoretical apple ancestor.
29.Which risk do limited plant varieties bring to apples
A. Higher disease threat. B. Loss of grafting skills.
C. Lower climate tolerance. D. Decline in market demand.
30.What does the underlined word "provenance" in paragraph 3 mean
A. Quality. B. Expansion. C. Source. D. Condition.
31.What is the text mainly about
A. Information on apple development. B. Trouble with modern apple farming.
C. Work of apple protection volunteers. D. Rediscovery of an ancient apple tree.
D
More and more often, insights from behavioural economics— the study of how people actually
make decisions— are spreading to other areas of public policy. For example, findings about social
nudges have moved from the energy sector to taxation. In the UK, tax officials have trialled sending
letters to people who pay their tax bills late, informing them that most other people have paid on time.
This social-pressure approach has reportedly worked well, and policy-makers are applying the same
ideas in other areas too.
It is important, however, that policy-makers do not lose sight of conventional economic policies,
and some of the most effective initiatives combine standard economic tools with behavioural
adjustments. One example is the charge for plastic bags, first introduced in Ireland many years ago to
deal with plastic bag littering.
Plastic bag littering is a serious environmental problem with damaging effects on wildlife, the
environment and human health. When the UK government introduced a 5 pence (p) plastic bag charge
in 2015, stories started circulating that, in some homes, the bags were worth more than people's
houses—because people had hoarded(囤积) so many bags that were now worth 5p each.
More seriously, the 5p charge is an illustration of how insights from behavioural economics can
inform the design of conventional economic policies while also promoting behaviour change. The
charge is a tax, but one designed to correct a behavioural bias rather than a market problem: it is hardly
rational to hoard large numbers of nearly valueless plastic bags. Perhaps hoarding of plastic bags is a
demonstration of a common psychological tendency—we over-value things we already own. Whatever
the reasons, a simple tax can nudge us away from either collecting bags we do not need or using too
many and throwing them away.
But there were unintended consequences. Evidence suggests that the overall use of plastic bags did
not fall. Many people stopped re-using ordinary supermarket bags as bin bags and instead bought larger
ones, including "bags for life" and heavy-duty bin bags, cancelling out some (possibly all) of the
expected environmental benefits.
32.What did the UK tax officials do with late taxpayers
A. Inform them of others' tax bills. B. Convince them of social benefits.
C. Warn them of possible heavy fines. D. Remind them of others' completion.
33.Why does the author mention the plastic bag charge in paragraph 2
A. To prove that charges end bag littering. B. To show what makes an effective policy.
C. To explain why Ireland could take the lead. D. To compare economic tools with behaviour.
34.What is the plastic bag charge mainly designed for
A. Correcting the habit of collecting bags. B. Stopping the use of heavy-duty bags.
C. Solving the problem of market failure. D. Avoiding the rise in plastic bag prices.
35.What can we learn about the result of the plastic bag charge
A. It reduced the use of plastic bags. B. It won the public's strong support.
C. It changed behaviour unexpectedly. D. It benefited the environment greatly.

Today, being bored is as rare as hen's teeth, as the British might say. Boredom, or quiet time, isn't
valuable because it's pleasant. 36 Boredom is valuable because it creates the mental space from
which creativity, insight, connection, and even purpose emerge. Doing nothing, often equated to being
bored, is not wasted time. Rather, these quiet moments may be among the most productive of our day.
Perhaps that's why childhood, before this era of constant connection and electronic noise, offered
something many adults today rarely experience: long stretches of unstructured time. Like many
children of the boomer generation, my summer days stretched endlessly before me. We rode bikes,
invented games, and played with whatever neighborhood child wandered into our yard. And when
alone, I would read, wonder, and write. 37 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126
Today's children often experience something different. 38 They have little time to be bored
and little opportunity for the unstructured time that invites exploration and imagination. Are we doing
ourselves or our children any favors by hyper-structuring every hour of the day Or is boredom always
something we should avoid
39 Researchers increasingly distinguish between chronic（慢性的）boredom, which can
harm our well-being, and the temporary boredom that leads to imagination, curiosity, and creativity.
Chronic boredom has been linked to depression, poor attention, loneliness, and risk-taking behaviors.
Temporary boredom is quite different. 40 It creates space for unexpected connections,
creative problem-solving, and the "eureka（灵光一现）" of ideas that can only occur when our minds
are free to wander. Some psychologists even suggest that this state can promote personal growth.
Perhaps the next time boredom comes calling, invite it in.
A. It is where the magic happens.
B. They, however, enjoy more freedom than ever before.
C. Of course not, because filling every hour leaves no time to rest.
D. The answer depends on the kind of boredom we're talking about.
E. There was always enough space to inspire curiosity and to daydream.
F. Days filled with organized activities and, in the spaces between them, screens.
G. In fact, many of us become anxious when bored and reach for the next distraction.

Last winter, I had my driver's licence suspended for a year. At first, I was 41 . I'd gotten used
to the freedom of picking up groceries whenever I wanted or meeting a friend without 422 how
long by bus, bike or on foot. I would have to re-learn how slow life becomes when you can't drive. On
cold dark mornings, biking to work was hard. The roads were 43 and I could not see well. But
when I spotted another cyclist on the way, I felt a little less 44 . We were all going through the
same thing.
One morning after playing a game, I stood outside the stadium, 45 about how to get home.
There were no buses. I 46 my independence and asking for help was harder than I wanted to admit.
Then an 47 from the winning team walked out, saw me and asked if I needed a 48 . She did not
know where I lived and made nothing of it. That small act of 49 meant more than she knew.
When spring came, I bought an electric bike. My friends were happy to help me with the 50
of a shopping basket and shared my enthusiasm over my new ride. With it, I could climb the hill near
my home easily, sometimes passing by cars 51 in traffic. Later, I got my licence back a month
earlier than I had 52 . The first thing I did was drive to the store for 53 .
The past 11 months reminded me of the value of 54 and appreciating what I do have: I am
healthy enough to work, have a job I like, and still keep my independence. I once feared that losing my
licence would steal my freedom. 55 , it opened my eyes to the small, ordinary joys that I had
always taken for granted. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126

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。
During my first autumn in Chongqing, I found myself repeatedly drawn to some figures that seem
to belong to another age. They are the bang-bang, lean men in their fifties or sixties, 56 shoulder
bamboo poles and move goods up hills too high for any vehicle. The bang-bang, also referred to by
57 (local) as the "bang-bang army", are porters in Chongqing.
Yet what continues to surprise me is the quiet pride with which they approach their work. On my
first attempt to lift a 58 (load) pole, I almost fell under its weight, 59 (expose) how false
their ease really was. The old porter who watched me 60 (smile), bearing the load again as if it
weighed nothing.
It is this effortless strength that 61 (support) Chongqing for decades. Before subways and
cars reached every hillside, the bang-bang were the city's only means of moving supplies, carrying
everything from rice bags to furniture up hills. No matter how heavy a load or how long a staircase, a
bang-bang would always find 62 way to bring goods swiftly and safely from its pick-up point to
its destination. This has earned the bang-bang the reputation of being Chongqing's 63 (tough)
workers. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126
As many of the porters are getting older and retiring from their trade, the bang-bang army
continuously shrinks. The trade is 64 (separably) linked with this city, just like the spicy
Chongqing hot pot. The bang-bang stand 65 a living symbol of a city built by hand. If one day,
they disappear from the streets of Chongqing, we should never forget their contribution to this city.

I used to play basketball on weekends, though I was never very good at it. One afternoon, however,
I fell and broke my leg badly. The doctor told me I would need an operation, and that I would be on
crutches（拐杖） for months. Suddenly, even simple things—walking to the bus stop, buying some
milk, taking out the rubbish—became a daily struggle. I could order most food and things online, but
there were still a few short trips I had to make myself, and each one filled me with quiet worry. I hated
feeling so helpless, but there was no one living nearby I could ask for help.
At the time, I was living in a small flat beside a park. Every day after school, a large group of
teenagers would gather under the big tree closest to my building. To be honest, they looked a little
frightening. In big jackets and heavy boots, they talked and laughed loudly, whistled between sentences,
called out to one another, and fixed hard stares on passers-by. More than once I saw someone lower
their head and hurry off under that gaze, while the teenagers broke into laughter. Nothing about them
was truly unkind, yet their rough looks and noisy manner were enough to make me keep my distance.
One morning I ran out of milk and had no choice. I went to the corner store and came back with a
heavy big bottle of milk in my bag. To get home, I had to walk past them. My heart raced, and the
weight of the milk made me lean to one side while my arms already ached. Balancing on one leg, I
moved slowly forward, trying not to be noticed. As I walked by, one of the boys suddenly called out
something I did not quite catch. Sure he was laughing at my strange way of walking, I lowered my
head, held my crutches tighter, and kept going, eager to get away.

One possible version:
Before I had gone far, however, I heard quick steps coming up behind me. I got ready for laughter,
but a cheerful voice said, “Hey, wait. That bag is far too heavy for someone on crutches. Let me take it.”
I found one of the very teenagers I had been avoiding smiling with real care, not making fun of me. Too
surprised to say no, I handed him the bag and felt its weight lift from my arms. As he walked me home,
he asked lightly how I had hurt myself, and for the first time that day my tight shoulders relaxed.
From that day on, those “scary” teenagers became my unexpected helpers.Whenever I passed on
crutches, they asked about my leg, carried out my heavy rubbish, and let me go first at the store. Little
by little, my fear turned into warmth. The day I walked without crutches, I thanked them all, for the
heavy bags and the kindness behind their rough looks. That experience taught me a simple truth: never
take a rough outside for a cold heart. Sometimes the gentlest help comes from those we least expect.

lantern maker, then opened free weekend workshops so residents could keep the skill alive.
M: Exactly. Last month her team lit up the entire street for the autumn festival, and the city paper gave
them a full page. Xiaoyu says the skill was nearly lost until she took it up—so this Saturday I'm
taking you there to make a lantern yourself.
W: How wonderful! She's bringing our community's shared memory back to life, and I cannot wait to
sign up and learn the craft beside her.

M: Our teacher mentioned something that truly changed how I understand ancient Egypt. I had always
assumed it was only about powerful kings and giant pyramids until we studied the geography unit
last week.
W: Me too. I used to imagine the pyramids were merely a show of royal power, built to impress the
gods and frighten rival nations. I never linked the land to those monuments.
M: But it was the Nile that made all of it possible. Its regular yearly flood left a narrow area of fertile
soil across the desert, which let farmers grow extra food and gave rise to a strong, organized state.
W: That is eye-opening. So the river—not merely the kings—built that early civilization, while the
surrounding desert kept Egypt protected yet cut off from the outside world. That is exactly why its
culture remained so distinct for thousands of years.

Good morning, everyone. Welcome to our new-energy car plant. I'm Chen, your guide. Before we
go in, let me share three facts about this plant. They never fail to surprise our visitors. First, we finish a
new car every fifty-five seconds—yes, faster than you can boil an egg. Second, look up: the whole roof
turns sunlight into electricity, so the plant partly runs on the sun. Third, nothing is wasted here either.
When an old battery dies, we take it apart and its materials come back as new batteries. Inside,
hundreds of orange robot arms do the heavy work; they can join a car door in ninety-eight seconds,
with a mistake thinner than a hair. Please stay behind the yellow line and keep your hands in your
pockets—the arms move fast. We'll start with the glass hall, then watch a smart camera check a whole
car in about eighty seconds. Follow me!
