Explore Singapore’s rich history, from its early days as an ancient settlement to its rise as a modern city. Discover how it transformed into a Crown Colony, endured war and occupation, and eventually became the independent nation we know today.
Singapura (1299 — 1818)
Early tools found in Western Singapore and on Pulau Ubin suggest a settlement existed thousands of years ago. By the 14th century, Singapore was a thriving trading port known by traders as Temasek. The port was linked to the Malay Archipelago, Thailand, China, and India, possibly ruled by elites who lived on Fort Canning Hill.
Visit the gallery to see artifacts that tell the story of Singapore’s earliest inhabitants.
Crown Colony (1819 — 1941)
In 1819, Sir Stamford Raffles and Major William Farquhar made a deal with local Malay leaders to establish a British trading port. Singapore became a Crown Colony under British rule in 1867. By 1919, it had grown into a modern city with electricity, telegraphs, and telephone connections.
Learn how historical figures shaped Singapore’s role as a trade hub, and explore the lives of early migrants.
Syonan-To (1942 — 1945)
During World War II, the British fortified Singapore but were defeated by the Japanese in 1942. The city was renamed Syonan-To and suffered greatly under occupation, facing food shortages, violence, and disease. Japan’s surrender in 1945 ended the occupation.
The gallery showcases military artifacts, personal items, and document s that tell the story of Singapore under Japanese rule.
Singapore (1945 — Present)
After World War II, Singapore gained self-government in 1959, with Lee Kuan Yew as its first Prime Minister. Following its independence in 1965, Singapore overcame challenges such as unemployment, housing shortages, and the need for racial harmony.

Few can challenge Quan Hongchan on the diving platform. At just 17, she has become China’s diving star, excelling with skills far beyond her age.
With five world championships and three Olympic gold medals, including her stunning performance in Paris, Quan is a standout even among China’s dominant diving team, which captured nearly all the gold medals in the 2016 and 2020 Olympics.
Her diving technique is so impressive that the Chinese term “shui hua xiao shi shu,” meaning “water splash disappearance technique,” was created to describe her near splashless dives.
Born in a small village in Guangdong, Quan’s family faced financial struggles, especially after her mother’s accident. She was discovered in 2014 by coach Chen Huaming, who recognized her jumping ability. By the age of 10, she joined Zhanjiang Sports School, and by 11, she had made it to the Guangdong provincial team.
Quan admitted she wasn’t strong in academics but found confidence in diving. Her coach, He Weiyi, praised her for working harder than others and constantly striving for perfection.
Quan quickly rose to prominence, winning gold at the Guangdong Junior Championships in 2018 and 2019. By 2020, she was securing national titles and beating world champions. At just 14, she won Olympic gold in Tokyo, setting a new Olympic record.
Despite her success, Quan remains humble. After her Olympic victory, she celebrated by eating “Latiao”, her favorite snack, and expressed her dream of owning a supermarket. She’s also a fan of Winter Olympian Eileen Gu, showing her youthful spirit despite her elite status in the sport.
Quan is both China’s diving queen and a fun-loving teenager enjoying life while making history.
4. Why does the author mention the term “water splash disappearance technique”
A. To explain how Quan’s technique developed after years of training.
B. To show the difficulty of diving, which Quan struggled with early on.
C. To emphasize Quan’s exceptional skill that has caught global attention.
D. To introduce Quan’s new technique as her weapon to win in competitions.
5. What does the article suggest about Quan’s family background
A. Quan came from a poor family that failed to support her studies.
B. Quan’s reduced family situation worsened after her mother’s accident.
C. Quan’s family faced issues when diving expenses became too high.
D. Quan improved her family’s finances by joining Zhejiang Sports School.
6. What can we learn about Quan from the comment of her coach
A. Quan’s success is mostly due to advanced training methods.
B. Quan’s outstanding raw talent requires little effort to perfect.
C. Quan’s academic performance matches her excellence in diving skills.
D. Quan’s hard work and pursuit of perfection are the keys to her success.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Quan Hongchan: A Rising Young Diving Champion
B. Quan Hongchan: The Star Who Conquered Academics
C. Quan’s Journey: From Humble Beginnings to Big Dreams
D. Water Splash Disappearance: China’s New Diving Technique
C
Researchers from Japan and Thailand have discovered that all three parts of coral — the surface mucus, tissue, and skeleton — contain microplastics. This discovery was made using a new microplastic detection method that the research team applied to coral for the first time.
This study may help explain the “missing plastic problem,” where about 70% of plastic litter in the ocean remains unaccounted for. The researchers suggest that coral may be absorbing microplastics, acting as a “sink” that traps plastic particles from the ocean. The findings were published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.
Although plastics have brought convenience to our lives, they have also caused major harm to ecosystems. In the ocean alone, an estimated 4.8 to 12.7 million tons of plastic enter the marine environment each year.
In Southeast Asia, plastic pollution is a serious issue, with nearly 10 million tons of plastic waste discarded annually. Some of this plastic reaches the ocean, where it breaks down into microplastics, explained Assistant Professor Suppakarn from Kyushu University, the study’s first author.
To tackle this problem, Kyushu University partnered with Chulalongkorn University in Thailand to establish the Center for Ocean Plastic Studies. Led by Professor Atsuhiko Isobe, the research team focused on studying microplastics in coral reefs around Si Chang Island in the Gulf of Thailand.
The team collected 27 coral samples from four species and found 174 microplastic particles, mostly between 101-200 microns in size. These particles were distributed in the surface mucus (38%), tissue (25%), and skeleton (37%). The most common types of microplastics were nylon, polyacetylene, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
The findings suggest coral may trap and preserve microplastics in their skeletons for hundreds of years, similar to how trees capture CO2 from the air. Further research is needed to fully understand the impact of microplastics on coral health and the larger marine environment.
8. What role might coral play in addressing the “missing plastic problem” according to the research
A. Coral could act as a storage, capturing microplastics.
B. Coral removes all microplastic particles from the ocean.
C. Coral might prevent plastic from reaching the ocean surface.
D. Coral helps decompose microplastics into harmless substances.
9. What can be inferred about Suppakarn’s attitude towards plastic pollution in Southeast Asia
A. Optimistic. B. Concerned. C. Skeptical. D. Tolerant.
10 Why does the author include numbers and types of microplastics in the para.6
A. To illustrate the variety of plastics coral can absorb.
B. To emphasize the efficiency of the detection method.
C. To underscore the impact of insufficient action against pollution.
D. To demonstrate the varied absorbing capabilities of different corals.
11. What future research direction does the author propose
A. Developing new methods to prevent microplastics from entering coral reefs.
B. Creating biodegradable alternatives to the microplastics absorbed by coral.
C. Studying the role of coral reefs in producing new forms of plastic pollution.
D. Analyzing how microplastics affect coral well- being and marine biodiversity.
D
AI is used to test autonomous vehicles by simulating real-world conditions, helping engineers evaluate how well these systems handle potential hazards. Safety is critical for autonomous cars and planes, as engineers must trust the technology to make quick decisions and avoid risks.
“Our challenge is making sure AI systems — like driverless cars and pilotless planes — are safe before human lives are at risk,” says Anthony Corso, a researcher in aeronautics and astronautics at Stanford.
The systems themselves are complex, but the environments in which they operate are even more complicated. Machine learning has made robotic driving possible, but validating these systems is very difficult.
Road tests are one way to ensure safety, but they usually occur late in development and come with the risk of harm to humans or property. Because of these challenges, engineers use simulations to test vehicles. However, can simulations fully guarantee safety In a recent paper, Stanford researchers provide an overview of “black-box safety validation” algorithms. These algorithms could provide the confidence needed to use autonomous systems safely, but improvements are still necessary.
For complex vehicles, black-box validation methods are often used. Unlike white-box validation, which aims for total safety by proving no failure can occur, black-box methods accept some uncertainty but test a system’s weaknesses. Black-box techniques are like reverse video games, where the goal is to identify system failures in a simulated environment. These failures can then be addressed in the real world. The longer the algorithms search for failures and do not find them, the more confident we can be in the system’s safety.
Some algorithms search for any potential failure, but in self-driving cars, this approach can always find some rare event that causes a crash. So, validation focuses on likely failures. While these algorithms show promise, further development is needed before they can be fully trusted to ensure safety in autonomous vehicles.
12. What does the underlined word “validating” in paragraph 3 mean
A. developing B. upgrading C. operating D. evaluating
13. Why is simulation used instead of road tests for autonomous vehicles
A. Actual road tests can’t cover all complex road conditions in real life.
B. Road tests occur late in development, making effectiveness hard to ensure.
C Simulations reduce the chances of injury or damage to humans and property.
D. Road tests are not reliable for testing complex systems, auto-driving included.
14. What is the difference between “black-box” and “white-box” validation methods
A. Contrary to white-box validation, black-box methods aim for overall safety.
B. Differing from white-box validation, black-box methods embrace uncertainties.
C. Unlike white-box validation, black-box methods take longer time to assess failures.
D. Compared to white-box validation, black-box methods run tests in real conditions.
15. What is the main purpose of the article
A. To explain how AI can solve all safety issues in autonomous vehicles.
B. To argue against using black-box validation for autonomous vehicles.
C. To demonstrate road tests’ advantage over simulations for vehicle safety.
D. To summarize AI’s role in testing autonomous vehicle safety via simulations.

In the frozen wilderness of Antarctica, Dr. Davis McClaren, a UCLA professor renowned for his work in astronomy, was on the verge of achieving his lifelong dream. He was determined to locate a rare meteorite (陨石) from Mercury (水星), believed to have landed somewhere in this vast, uninhabited landscape. Guiding him was Jerry Shepard, an experienced researcher from the National Science Foundation, accompanied by a team of sled dogs led by the fearless and intelligent Maya.
The journey was punishing from the start. Bitter winds tore at their exposed faces, while the biting cold filtered through their layers of clothing. Every step was harder than the last, but Dr. McClaren’s excitement drove him forward, his eyes constantly scanning the snow- covered horizon. Jerry, experienced in the dangers of the Antarctic, grew increasingly uneasy. He could see the signs of a storm gathering on the distant horizon. “We need to turn back.” Jerry urged, his voice barely audible over the strong wind. But McClaren, blinded by his ambition and so close to his goal, waved off the warning. Nothing would stop him now.
Just as the heavy snow began to fall, McClaren’s persistence paid off — he spotted the meteorite, half- buried beneath the ice. His heart raced as he shouted, “I found it!” He rushed toward it, unable to contain his excitement. But in his rush, he misjudged the fragile ground beneath him. A sharp crack echoed through the air, and before he could react, McClaren dropped into a hidden gap, crashing into freezing water below.
The fall was brutal. Soaked and disoriented, McClaren gasped for breath as the icy water enveloped him. His leg ached in pain, and panic surged through him as he realized he couldn’t move. Above him, Jerry acted swiftly, knowing the professor’s survival depended on immediate action. Their only hope lay in the paws of his trusted lead dog, Maya.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Securing a rope around her, Jerry commanded the lead dog to go.

Finally, Dr. McClaren was free, but the raging snowstorm made the journey back to the base even more dangerous.

Explore Singapore’s rich history, from its early days as an ancient settlement to its rise as a modern city. Discover how it transformed into a Crown Colony, endured war and occupation, and eventually became the independent nation we know today.
Singapura (1299 — 1818)
Early tools found in Western Singapore and on Pulau Ubin suggest a settlement existed thousands of years ago. By the 14th century, Singapore was a thriving trading port known by traders as Temasek. The port was linked to the Malay Archipelago, Thailand, China, and India, possibly ruled by elites who lived on Fort Canning Hill.
Visit the gallery to see artifacts that tell the story of Singapore’s earliest inhabitants.
Crown Colony (1819 — 1941)
In 1819, Sir Stamford Raffles and Major William Farquhar made a deal with local Malay leaders to establish a British trading port. Singapore became a Crown Colony under British rule in 1867. By 1919, it had grown into a modern city with electricity, telegraphs, and telephone connections.
Learn how historical figures shaped Singapore’s role as a trade hub, and explore the lives of early migrants.
Syonan-To (1942 — 1945)
During World War II, the British fortified Singapore but were defeated by the Japanese in 1942. The city was renamed Syonan-To and suffered greatly under occupation, facing food shortages, violence, and disease. Japan’s surrender in 1945 ended the occupation.
The gallery showcases military artifacts, personal items, and document s that tell the story of Singapore under Japanese rule.
Singapore (1945 — Present)

Few can challenge Quan Hongchan on the diving platform. At just 17, she has become China’s diving star, excelling with skills far beyond her age.
With five world championships and three Olympic gold medals, including her stunning performance in Paris, Quan is a standout even among China’s dominant diving team, which captured nearly all the gold medals in the 2016 and 2020 Olympics.
Her diving technique is so impressive that the Chinese term “shui hua xiao shi shu,” meaning “water splash disappearance technique,” was created to describe her near splashless dives.
Born in a small village in Guangdong, Quan’s family faced financial struggles, especially after her mother’s accident. She was discovered in 2014 by coach Chen Huaming, who recognized her jumping ability. By the age of 10, she joined Zhanjiang Sports School, and by 11, she had made it to the Guangdong provincial team.
Quan admitted she wasn’t strong in academics but found confidence in diving. Her coach, He Weiyi, praised her for working harder than others and constantly striving for perfection.
Quan quickly rose to prominence, winning gold at the Guangdong Junior Championships in 2018 and 2019. By 2020, she was securing national titles and beating world champions. At just 14, she won Olympic gold in Tokyo, setting a new Olympic record.
Despite her success, Quan remains humble. After her Olympic victory, she celebrated by eating “Latiao”, her favorite snack, and expressed her dream of owning a supermarket. She’s also a fan of Winter Olympian Eileen Gu, showing her youthful spirit despite her elite status in the sport.
Quan is both China’s diving queen and a fun-loving teenager enjoying life while making history.
4. Why does the author mention the term “water splash disappearance technique”
A. To explain how Quan’s technique developed after years of training.

Researchers from Japan and Thailand have discovered that all three parts of coral — the surface mucus, tissue, and skeleton — contain microplastics. This discovery was made using a new microplastic detection method that the research team applied to coral for the first time.
This study may help explain the “missing plastic problem,” where about 70% of plastic litter in the ocean remains unaccounted for. The researchers suggest that coral may be absorbing microplastics, acting as a “sink” that traps plastic particles from the ocean. The findings were published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.
Although plastics have brought convenience to our lives, they have also caused major harm to ecosystems. In the ocean alone, an estimated 4.8 to 12.7 million tons of plastic enter the marine environment each year.
In Southeast Asia, plastic pollution is a serious issue, with nearly 10 million tons of plastic waste discarded annually. Some of this plastic reaches the ocean, where it breaks down into microplastics, explained Assistant Professor Suppakarn from Kyushu University, the study’s first author.
To tackle this problem, Kyushu University partnered with Chulalongkorn University in Thailand to establish the Center for Ocean Plastic Studies. Led by Professor Atsuhiko Isobe, the research team focused on studying microplastics in coral reefs around Si Chang Island in the Gulf of Thailand.
The team collected 27 coral samples from four species and found 174 microplastic particles, mostly between 101-200 microns in size. These particles were distributed in the surface mucus (38%), tissue (25%), and skeleton (37%). The most common types of microplastics were nylon, polyacetylene, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
The findings suggest coral may trap and preserve microplastics in their skeletons for hundreds of years, similar to how trees capture CO2 from the air. Further research is needed to fully understand the impact of microplastics on coral health and the larger marine environment.
8. What role might coral play in addressing the “missing plastic problem” according to the research
A. Coral could act as a storage, capturing microplastics.
B. Coral removes all microplastic particles from the ocean.
C. Coral might prevent plastic from reaching the ocean surface.
D. Coral helps decompose microplastics into harmless substances.
9. What can be inferred about Suppakarn’s attitude towards plastic pollution in Southeast Asia
A. Optimistic. B. Concerned. C. Skeptical. D. Tolerant.
10. Why does the author include numbers and types of microplastics in the para.6
A. To illustrate the variety of plastics coral can absorb.
B. To emphasize the efficiency of the detection method.
C. To underscore the impact of insufficient action against pollution.
D. To demonstrate the varied absorbing capabilities of different corals.
11. What future research direction does the author propose
A. Developing new methods to prevent microplastics from entering coral reefs.
B. Creating biodegradable alternatives to the microplastics absorbed by coral.
C. Studying the role of coral reefs in producing new forms of plastic pollution.
D. Analyzing how microplastics affect coral well- being and marine biodiversity.

AI is used to test autonomous vehicles by simulating real-world conditions, helping engineers evaluate how well these systems handle potential hazards. Safety is critical for autonomous cars and planes, as engineers must trust the technology to make quick decisions and avoid risks.
“Our challenge is making sure AI systems — like driverless cars and pilotless planes — are safe before human lives are at risk,” says Anthony Corso, a researcher in aeronautics and astronautics at Stanford.
The systems themselves are complex, but the environments in which they operate are even more complicated. Machine learning has made robotic driving possible, but validating these systems is very difficult.
Road tests are one way to ensure safety, but they usually occur late in development and come with the risk of harm to humans or property. Because of these challenges, engineers use simulations to test vehicles. However, can simulations fully guarantee safety In a recent paper, Stanford researchers provide an overview of “black-box safety validation” algorithms. These algorithms could provide the confidence needed to use autonomous systems safely, but improvements are still necessary.
For complex vehicles, black-box validation methods are often used. Unlike white-box validation, which aims for total safety by proving no failure can occur, black-box methods accept some uncertainty but test a system’s weaknesses. Black-box techniques are like reverse video games, where the goal is to identify system failures in a simulated environment. These failures can then be addressed in the real world. The longer the algorithms search for failures and do not find them, the more confident we can be in the system’s safety.
Some algorithms search for any potential failure, but in self-driving cars, this approach can always find some rare event that causes a crash. So, validation focuses on likely failures. While these algorithms show promise, further development is needed before they can be fully trusted to ensure safety in autonomous vehicles.
12. What does the underlined word “validating” in paragraph 3 mean
A. developing B. upgrading C. operating D. evaluating
13. Why is simulation used instead of road tests for autonomous vehicles
A. Actual road tests can’t cover all complex road conditions in real life.
B. Road tests occur late in development, making effectiveness hard to ensure.
C. Simulations reduce the chances of injury or damage to humans and property.
D. Road tests are not reliable for testing complex systems, auto-driving included.
14. What is the difference between “black-box” and “white-box” validation methods
A. Contrary to white-box validation, black-box methods aim for overall safety.
B. Differing from white-box validation, black-box methods embrace uncertainties.
C. Unlike white-box validation, black-box methods take longer time to assess failures.
D. Compared to white-box validation, black-box methods run tests in real conditions.
15. What is the main purpose of the article
A. To explain how AI can solve all safety issues in autonomous vehicles.
B. To argue against using black-box validation for autonomous vehicles.
C. To demonstrate road tests’ advantage over simulations for vehicle safety.
D. To summarize AI’s role in testing autonomous vehicle safety via simulations.

57. 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 frozen wilderness of Antarctica, Dr. Davis McClaren, a UCLA professor renowned for his work in astronomy, was on the verge of achieving his lifelong dream. He was determined to locate a rare meteorite (陨石) from Mercury (水星), believed to have landed somewhere in this vast, uninhabited landscape. Guiding him was Jerry Shepard, an experienced researcher from the National Science Foundation, accompanied by a team of sled dogs led by the fearless and intelligent Maya.
The journey was punishing from the start. Bitter winds tore at their exposed faces, while the biting cold filtered through their layers of clothing. Every step was harder than the last, but Dr. McClaren’s excitement drove him forward, his eyes constantly scanning the snow- covered horizon. Jerry, experienced in the dangers of the Antarctic, grew increasingly uneasy. He could see the signs of a storm gathering on the distant horizon. “We need to turn back.” Jerry urged, his voice barely audible over the strong wind. But McClaren, blinded by his ambition and so close to his goal, waved off the warning. Nothing would stop him now.
Just as the heavy snow began to fall, McClaren’s persistence paid off — he spotted the meteorite, half- buried beneath the ice. His heart raced as he shouted, “I found it!” He rushed toward it, unable to contain his excitement. But in his rush, he misjudged the fragile ground beneath him. A sharp crack echoed through the air, and before he could react, McClaren dropped into a hidden gap, crashing into freezing water below.
The fall was brutal. Soaked and disoriented, McClaren gasped for breath as the icy water enveloped him. His leg ached in pain, and panic surged through him as he realized he couldn’t move. Above him, Jerry acted swiftly, knowing the professor’s survival depended on immediate action. Their only hope lay in the paws of his trusted lead dog, Maya.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；

Finally, Dr. McClaren was free, but the raging snowstorm made the journey back to the base even more dangerous.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
Securing a rope around her, Jerry commanded the lead dog to go. With Maya leading the way, Jerry quickly tied the other end of the rope around his waist and began lowering himself into the gap where McClaren had fallen. The dogs barked nervously, sensing the urgency of the situation. Jerry’s hands were numb with cold, but he griped the rope tightly. As he reached the bottom, he found McClaren clinging to a piece of ice, his face pale and eyes wide with fear. Jerry quickly wrapped the rope around McClaren and signaled the dogs to pull them up.
Finally, Dr. McClaren was free, but the raging snowstorm made the journey back to the base even more dangerous. Jerry helped McClaren to his feet, supporting him as they stumbled through the blinding snow. Maya and the rest of the sled dogs struggled to march forward, their breaths visible in the freezing air. Every step was a test of their endurance and resolve. With Maya leading the way and Jerry’s determined spirit guiding them, they pushed forward. Finally, they reached the safety of their base before the storm claimed them all.
