“Are you OK, Cassie ” Jonah asked, from the doorway of the Sea Holly Cafe.
Cassie had been sitting on a chair outside for the past 10 minutes but not really taking in the beauty of the sea.
“Oh, I should be getting back to work.” She rose hurriedly.
“We’re not busy, take your time.” Jonah came with a cappuccino for her. “Thanks.” She accepted the coffee, “Everything’s fine.” Then Jonah nodded, revealing a comforting smile, and went back inside.
He was a great boss, but Cassie didn’t feel like telling him what was wrong.
Cassie had gone to study fine art hopefully but dropped out after only a year due to the unbearable homesickness. Since then, she hadn’t touched her paints for a whole year. Today was doomed to be a sad date, the anniversary of her exciting plans turning to dust. She felt a crushing sense of disappointment. In her painting, she had captured a good likeness of the cloudy sky and the reflection of the dying light upon the water, but the picture did have a sad, dreary (沉闷的) quality.
About 20 minutes later, she was shocked by a voice at her shoulder, “That’s beautiful.”
Cassie turned, and there was a woman wearing a blue coat. The woman eyed it again. “You have talent, but there is much sadness in it, for one so young.” Cassie’s eyes were filled with tears. “My name’s Willow,” the woman said kindly, “Why not try painting the sunrise instead, my dear You might find it helps.”
With Willow’s words echoing in her brain, Cassie rose an hour earlier the next day, caught a bus to the beach and began to paint again.
When she finished, Jonah was just opening up. He picked the painting up and appreciated it at eye height. “Hey, this is good. It’s really —“For a moment he struggled for the word, then found it and turned to her, beaming, “Optimistic!”
In her picture the sun was powering into the sky, casting a clear, golden pathway across the sea.

For many students, math class is the subject of nightmares. Many who enthusiastically show off their counting skills in pre-school years later consider math class the most hated hour of the school day. The problem, according to a Stanford education professor, is a matter of mindset.
Jo Boaler, professor of mathematics education at Stanford, has studied how students learn math, to identify why so many students end up hating or fearing math, and, too often, underachieve. In her new book, Mathematical Mindsets, Boaler describes how society has traditionally valued one type of math learner — one who can memorize well and calculate fast — as opposed to others who have the same potential but may be deeper, slower.
The “testing culture” in American schools is a major problem for math learners, Boaler said, noting that exams and tests are far more pervasive (普遍) in math than other subjects. The combination of frequent testing, procedural teaching and uninteresting questions disconnected from students’ lives causes many students to regard math as a “cold, lifeless subject” without a human connection.
The good news is that any student’s negative perception of math can dramatically change, Boaler said. She works with Stanford psychology Professor Carol Dweck to deliver growth mindset interventions to teachers and students. A “growth mindset” is built around the idea that most basic abilities can be developed and expanded upon through dedication and hard work. By contrast, with a “fixed mindset,” people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits (特征).
“When we open up mathematics and teach broad, visual, creative math, then we teach math as a learning subject instead of as a performance subject,” Boaler said, “The outcome is that the subject becomes deeper and filled with more connections, so students enjoy it more and achieve at higher levels.”
Critics such as Marina Ratner, professor of mathematics at the University of California, express skepticism towards moving away from traditional methods. Math is math; there is no shortcut. They argue that without solid basic skills, students might struggle with subjects like algebra (代数), let alone tackling any other higher-level STEM courses.
8. What problem is presented in the text
A. Students fear math due to abstract concepts.
B. There is a lack of standardized tests in math.
C. Math learners focus on advanced concepts too early.
D. Traditional math teaching discourages many students.
9. Which pair best describes the contrast between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset
A. Dynamic methods vs. standard methods. B. Group learning vs. individual learning.
C. Improvable abilities vs. inborn abilities. D. Long-term results vs. short-term results.
10. How might Jo Boaler recommend teaching the division of 10 by 5
A. By integrating timed drills. B. By rewarding quick calculations.
C. By encouraging repeated reviews. D. By employing pictures and models.
11. What is Marina Ratner’s attitude towards traditional methods of math teaching
A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.
D
Inspired by the medical bay of the USS Enterprise from Star Trek (星际迷航), a research team from the University of Waterloo uses radar technology to monitor people’ s health while at the wheel, turning an ordinary car or truck into a mobile medical center.
Dr. George Shaker, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, is working with a team of graduate students to combine radar with evolving vehicle technology to make health checks easier. The idea is to use the time people spend in their cars to gather data on their health for accurate analysis and preventative treatment — without the need for any type of wearable devices.
The radar, smaller than a USB thumb drive, is placed into the vehicle cabin and sends out signals that detect human vibrations (颤动), which are then sent back to the radar. The built-in AI system collects and analyzes the data to build a medical picture and identify any potential conditions. At the end of the driver’s journey, the system sends the report directly to their cell phone for review.
For Shaker and his team, the challenge was evolving the technology to identify changes in breathing patterns or heart rhythms that signify potential health issues related to cardiovascular conditions as well as respiratory system conditions.
“We focused on enhancing data collection for exact information related to people’s health issues and teaching the AI how to make medical interpretations from this data. Another important consideration was personal privacy and security — no data is stored on the cloud; it is sent to the monitored person’s cellphone only” said Ali Ghara, the lead PhD. student on the project.
The research team is building on this work to expand the radar technology’s capabilities to monitor all vehicle occupants’ overall health and well-being, run diagnostics and generate quality medical reports that flag any issues that need attention, as well as assist with emergency communication in the event of an accident.
12. What can we learn about the radar technology
A. It combines with vehicle technology to assess the driver’s health.
B. It sends the health report to the driver’s phone for review.
C. It provides more accurate health data than wearables.
D. It creates medical pictures to reveal healthy secrets.
13. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. The working principle of the radar device. B. The significance of the built-in AI system.
C. The potential health conditions of drivers. D. The development of vehicle technology.
14. What can be inferred from Ali Ghara’s words in paragraph 5
A. The AI needs training to collect health data. B. AI’s interpretation of medical date is accurate.
C. Cellphones monitor personal privacy and security. D. The team is improving data collection and analysis.
15. What does the follow-up study aim to do
A. Ensure the privacy of medical reports. B. Warn the drivers of potential accidents.
C Enhance health monitoring for all passengers. D. Apply the radar technology across vehicles.

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Dr. Henderson was assigning (指定) project mates for his psychology class, I secretly hoped he would pair me with my best friend or at least a classmate I could have some fun with. Above all, I hoped he wouldn’t assign me to work with the fiercely competitive and extremely serious fellow who always wore dark clothes and apparently had a personality to match. As fate (命运) would have it, Dr. Henderson very deliberately matched everyone in class and announced that I would be working with the one person in class I wanted to avoid.
I went up to my new teammate and introduced myself. He looked at me as though I weren’t there. I felt he treated me as though I would hold him back and probably make him fail to get an A in the course. He wasn’t mean or abusive. He just gave me the impression that he could do whatever project we dreamed up better if he did it alone.
Needless to say, I didn’t look forward to an entire team of being brushed off, but I tried to make the best of it and didn’t say anything for fear that I would make things worse.
The project required each team to develop a hypothesis (假说), set up an experiment to test the hypothesis, do the statistical analysis and present the findings. Whatever grade the team received would be shared by both students.
When my teammate and I met to discuss our project, I was uneasy. Here was this challenging student who had a reputation for single-mindedness and good grades—the exact opposite of me. I actually wanted to drop the class at one point, but stopped short because I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of my chickening out. I decided to stick to it no matter what.
After long discussions, we somehow agreed to do a study on the psychological well-being of teenagers. I wasn’t sure what it meant exactly, but at least we had a topic.
Para.1 We started to meet regularly to draw up our plans.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para. 2 Then one day I got word that he was admitted to the hospital for a serious disease.

【4题】
推理判断题。第四段““We’re not busy, take your time.” Jonah came with a cappuccino for her. “Thanks.” She accepted the coffee, “Everything’s fine.” Then Jonah nodded, revealing a comforting smile, and went back inside. (“我们不忙，慢慢来。”乔纳给她端来一杯卡布奇诺。“谢谢。”她接受了咖啡，“一切都很好。”然后乔纳点了点头，露出安慰的微笑，然后回到了里面。)”，可知Jonah作为老板很体贴，注意到Cassie的情绪不安，并给予安慰。故选D项。
【5题】
推理判断题。根据第六段前三句“Cassie had gone to study fine art hopefully but dropped out after only a year due to the unbearable homesickness. Since then, she hadn’t touched her paints for a whole year. Today was doomed to be a sad date, the anniversary of her exciting plans turning to dust. (卡西满怀希望地去学习美术，但由于难以忍受的思乡之情，一年后就退学了。从那以后，她整整一年没有碰过颜料。今天注定是一个悲伤的日子，她激动人心的计划的周年纪念日变成了尘埃。)”可知，Cassie原本满怀希望去艺术学校学画画，但因想家甚而辍学。而“今天”是她辍学一周年的日子，也意味着她学习美术的计划中途停止，成了灰烬，所以Cassie情绪不高。故选C项。
【6题】
推理判断题。根据第八段女士说的话““You have talent, but there is much sadness in it, for one so young.” Cassie’s eyes were filled with tears. “My name’s Willow,” the woman said kindly, “Why not try painting the sunrise instead, my dear You might find it helps.” (“你有天赋，但对这么年轻的人来说，这其中有很多悲伤。” Cassie的眼里充满了泪水。“我是Willow，”女人和蔼地说，“为什么不试着画日出呢，亲爱的？你可能会发现它很有用。”)”可知，Willow觉得Cassie的画技很好，但是画中带着不符合她年纪的悲伤，所以建议她改画sunrise，并暗示这可能对她有帮助，即日出会让Cassie不那么悲伤，而是精神振奋。故选B项。

细节理解题。根据第一段“The problem, according to a Stanford education professor, is a matter of mindset.(斯坦福大学一位教育学教授认为，问题在于心态)”以及第二段“In her new book, Mathematical Mindsets, Boaler describes how society has traditionally valued one type of math learner—one who can memorize well and calculate fast—as opposed to others who have the same potential but may be deeper, slower.(在她的新书《数学心态》中，博阿勒描述了社会传统上是如何重视一种数学学习者的——一种记性好、计算速度快的人——而不是其他有同样潜力但可能更深、更慢的人)”可知，文章阐述了传统数学教学带来的消极影响。故选D。
【9题】
细节理解题。根据第四段“A “growth mindset” is built around the idea that most basic abilities can be developed and expanded upon through dedication and hard work. By contrast, with a “fixed mindset,” people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits (特征).(“成长型思维”是建立在这样一种观念之上的:通过奉献和努力工作，大多数基本能力都可以得到发展和扩展。相比之下，“固定心态”的人认为他们的基本品质，比如他们的智力或才能，只是固定的特征)”可知，两种思维的最大区别在于对个人能力是否可持续发展的态度。故选C。
【10题】
推理判断题。根据第五段“When we open up mathematics and teach broad, visual, creative math, then we teach math as a learning subject instead of as a performance subject(当我们开放数学并教授广泛的、视觉化的、创造性的数学时，我们就把数学作为一门学习科目而不是一门表演科目来教授)”可知Jo Boaler是希望用创新、开放的方式教数学，D选项中的“pictures and models”属于 “broad，visual，creative”这个范畴。故选D。
【11题】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Critics such as Marina Ratner, professor of mathematics at the University of California, express skepticism towards moving away from traditional methods.(加州大学数学教授玛丽娜 拉特纳等批评人士对放弃传统方法表示怀疑)”可知，她认为数学学习没有捷径，传统数学教学仍有价值。故选B。
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. C
【12题】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Inspired by the medical bay of the USS Enterprise from Star Trek (星际迷航), a research team from the University of Waterloo uses radar technology to monitor people’ s health while at the wheel, turning an ordinary car or truck into a mobile medical center.(受《星际迷航》中企业号宇宙飞船医疗舱的启发，来自滑铁卢大学的一个研究团队利用雷达技术监测驾驶者行车时的健康状况，将普通汽车或卡车变成移动医疗中心)”以及第二段“Dr. George Shaker, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, is working with a team of graduate students to combine radar with evolving vehicle technology to make health checks easier.(滑铁卢大学电气与计算机工程系的教授George Shaker博士正带领一群研究生，将雷达与不断发展的车辆技术相结合，使健康检查变得更加容易)”可知，雷达技术与车辆技术的结合来评估驾驶者的健康状况。故选A。
【13题】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“The radar, smaller than a USB thumb drive, is placed into the vehicle cabin and sends out signals that detect human vibrations(颤动), which are then sent back to the radar. The built-in AI system collects and analyzes the data to build a medical picture and identify any potential conditions. At the end of the driver’s journey, the system sends the report directly to their cell phone for review.(雷达装置比USB拇指驱动器还小，被放置在车辆座舱内，并发出信号检测人体颤动，然后将这些信号传回雷达。内置的AI系统收集并分析这些数据，以构建医疗图像并识别任何潜在状况。在驾驶者行程结束时，系统会将报告直接发送到他们的手机上以供查看)”可知，第三段首先描述了雷达装置的大小和放置位置，接着，段落描述了雷达如何工作以及数据的处理。由此可知，第3段主要描述了雷达装置的工作原理，包括其如何检测人体颤动以及内置AI系统如何处理这些数据。故选A。
【14题】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段““We focused on enhancing data collection for exact information related to people’s health issues and teaching the AI how to make medical interpretations from this data. Another important consideration was personal privacy and security —no data is stored on the cloud; it is sent to the monitored person’s cellphone only,” said Ali Ghara, the lead PhD. student on the project.(“我们专注于收集与人们健康问题相关的确切信息的数据收集工作，并教授AI如何从这些数据中进行医学解读。另一个重要考虑因素是个人隐私和安全——数据不会存储在云端；它只会被发送到被监测者的手机上，”该项目的主要博士生Ali Ghara说道)”可知，Ali Ghara博士明确表示团队专注于收集与人们健康问题相关的确切信息的数据收集工作，并教授AI如何从这些数据中进行医学解读。故选D。
【15题】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The research team is building on this work to expand the radar technology’s capabilities to monitor all vehicle occupants’ overall health and well-being, run diagnostics and generate quality medical reports that flag any issues that need attention, as well as assist with emergency communication in the event of an accident.(研究团队正在此基础上开展工作，以扩展雷达技术的功能，监测所有车内乘客的整体健康和福祉，运行诊断程序，并生成优质医疗报告，标记任何需要注意的问题，以及在发生事故时进行紧急通信协助)”可知，该研究团队正在此基础上开展工作，以扩展雷达技术的功能，监测所有车内乘客的整体健康和福祉。故选C。

上文“Photography for me has always been a key. It opens up doors, gives me an excuse to travel with more purpose, and lets me see behind the scenes.(摄影对我来说一直是个关键。它为我打开了一扇门，给了我一个更有目的旅行的借口，让我看到了幕后。)”提到了摄影对作者的重要性；下文““Better get back to taking photos. Nice to chat!”(“还是聊回拍照吧。这很好聊!”)”转而提到“回到拍照的话题”，为过渡句，下文第二段开始提出学习摄影的建议。由此可知，设空处应是承接上文的话题，与摄影的好处相关。F项“It also helps to slip out of awkward small talk at parties.(这也有助于在聚会上避免尴尬的闲聊。)”中的it指代上文的Photography，also helps也与上文对应。故选F项。
【17题】
上文“I didn’t study photography; I’m not formally trained;(我没有学过摄影；我没有受过正规训练；)”提到了作者既没学过摄影，也没有受过正规训练；下文“But that’s not what photography is about for me.(但这不是摄影对我的意义。)”转而提到上文提到的那些都不是摄影对作者的意义。结合设空处前面的分号可知，设空处与上文两个句子构成排比句式。B项“I have virtually no art experience.(我几乎没有美术经验。)”与上文对应。故选B项。
【18题】
上文“If you want to be a photographer, be constantly asking yourself the question: “What is the story here ” It doesn’t matter if you are shooting a dish at your favorite restaurant or the food waste processing plant that deals with wat’s left over(如果你想成为一名摄影师，就要不断地问自己这个问题：“这里的故事是什么？”无论你是在你最喜欢的餐馆拍摄一道菜，还是在处理剩饭剩菜的食物垃圾处理厂)”提到了如果相当一名摄影师，就要不断问自己“这里的故事是什么？”；下文“What does that mean If I’m photographing a dinner party for Social Supply, it’s important to capture not just the plate of food, but to step back and capture the scene around it.(这是什么意思？如果我正在为Social Supply拍摄晚宴，重要的是不仅要捕捉一盘食物，还要退后一步，捕捉周围的场景。)”通过举例子进一步解释了问“这里的故事是什么？”的含义。A项“Let the story guide you.(让故事引导你。)”与上文的“What is the story here ”对应。故选A项。
【19题】
设空处位于段首，为段落主旨句；下文“I’ve taken hundreds of thousands of photos this year alone. The more you shoot the better you will be. So, start shooting—anything and everything, but specially your fiends’ businesses and projects.(仅今年一年，我就拍了数十万张照片。你拍得越多，你就会越好。所以，开始拍摄吧，什么都可以，尤其是你朋友的生意和项目。)”提到了拍得越多，就会越好，说明摄影是需要练习的。C项“Like anything, photography requires practice.(像任何事情一样，摄影需要练习。)”最能概括本段内容。故选C项。
【20题】
上文“Do I have a good camera Yes, but some people still think that the photos I post from my phone were taken on that camera, so don’t confuse a good device with being a good photographer.(我有好的相机吗？是的，但有些人仍然认为我从手机上发布的照片是用那台相机拍摄的，所以不要把一个好设备和一个好摄影师混为一谈。)”提到了不要把好设备和好摄影师混为一谈，由此可知，设空处应与摄影设备和摄影师有关。E项“Some of my favorite photographers just use their phone.(我最喜欢的一些摄影师只用他们的手机拍。)”与上下文对应。故选E项。

【答案】Dear Mr Williams,
I’m Li Hua, a student from Sunshine Middle School. We’re delighted to accept the invitation to play a friendly table tennis match, which will no doubt strengthen our friendship. I am writing to learn about the arrangements.
Since it is the first time for us to go to Australia, we’d like to know the details about the accommodations so that we can make some preparations in advance. If possible, we prefer to live in host families to experience local culture. Besides, is it possible for you to pick us up at the airport after our arrival I would appreciate it if we could work out a proper schedule for both sides.
Thank you for all your help and look forward to your reply.
Yours,
【答案】范文
Para.1
We started to meet regularly to draw up our panion as I was in the project, I still had no sense of participating in the project. My teammate kept his brain occupied in developing the hypothesis, setting up an experiment to test it, and running the tests alone, leaving me just standing beside him as if I were a fool. “What a dull project it is!” I murmured to myself. However, something changed gradually, as I became aware what the tactile-kinesthetic perception of space meant. Thanks to the intense, fiercely competitive, singularly serious fellow, the whole procedure went smoothly, close to the final stage.
Para. 2
Then one day I got word that he was admitted to the hospital for a serious disease. Without any delay, I packed up my school bag, took all the experiment statistics and rushed to the hospital. Seeing the pale fellow wearing pure white clothes instead of the annoying dark clothes, I felt a sense of sympathy and mercy welling up in my heart. With his guidance, I finished the statistical analysis and presented the findings. It turned out to be such an amazing and persuasive study that my teammate and I did win the best grade. Now, we have been most reliable cooperative partners ever since!

“Are you OK, Cassie ” Jonah asked, from the doorway of the Sea Holly Cafe.
Cassie had been sitting on a chair outside for the past 10 minutes but not really taking in the beauty of the sea.
“Oh, I should be getting back to work.” She rose hurriedly.
“We’re not busy, take your time.” Jonah came with a cappuccino for her. “Thanks.” She accepted the coffee, “Everything’s fine.” Then Jonah nodded, revealing a comforting smile, and went back inside.
He was a great boss, but Cassie didn’t feel like telling him what was wrong.
Cassie had gone to study fine art hopefully but dropped out after only a year due to the unbearable homesickness. Since then, she hadn’t touched her paints for a whole year. Today was doomed to be a sad date, the anniversary of her exciting plans turning to dust. She felt a crushing sense of disappointment. In her painting, she had captured a good likeness of the cloudy sky and the reflection of the dying light upon the water, but the picture did have a sad, dreary (沉闷的) quality.
About 20 minutes later, she was shocked by a voice at her shoulder, “That’s beautiful.”
Cassie turned, and there was a woman wearing a blue coat. The woman eyed it again. “You have talent, but there is much sadness in it, for one so young.” Cassie’s eyes were filled with tears. “My name’s Willow,” the woman said kindly, “Why not try painting the sunrise instead, my dear You might find it helps.”
With Willow’s words echoing in her brain, Cassie rose an hour earlier the next day, caught a bus to the beach and began to paint again.
When she finished, Jonah was just opening up. He picked the painting up and appreciated it at eye height. “Hey, this is good. It’s really —“For a moment he struggled for the word, then found it and turned to her, beaming, “Optimistic!”
In her picture the sun was powering into the sky, casting a clear, golden pathway across the sea.

For many students, math class is the subject of nightmares. Many who enthusiastically show off their counting skills in pre-school years later consider math class the most hated hour of the school day. The problem, according to a Stanford education professor, is a matter of mindset.
Jo Boaler, professor of mathematics education at Stanford, has studied how students learn math, to identify why so many students end up hating or fearing math, and, too often, underachieve. In her new book, Mathematical Mindsets, Boaler describes how society has traditionally valued one type of math learner — one who can memorize well and calculate fast — as opposed to others who have the same potential but may be deeper, slower.
The “testing culture” in American schools is a major problem for math learners, Boaler said, noting that exams and tests are far more pervasive (普遍) in math than other subjects. The combination of frequent testing, procedural teaching and uninteresting questions disconnected from students’ lives causes many students to regard math as a “cold, lifeless subject” without a human connection.
The good news is that any student’s negative perception of math can dramatically change, Boaler said. She works with Stanford psychology Professor Carol Dweck to deliver growth mindset interventions to teachers and students. A “growth mindset” is built around the idea that most basic abilities can be developed and expanded upon through dedication and hard work. By contrast, with a “fixed mindset,” people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits (特征).
“When we open up mathematics and teach broad, visual, creative math, then we teach math as a learning subject instead of as a performance subject,” Boaler said, “The outcome is that the subject becomes deeper and filled with more connections, so students enjoy it more and achieve at higher levels.”
Critics such as Marina Ratner, professor of mathematics at the University of California, express skepticism towards moving away from traditional methods. Math is math; there is no shortcut. They argue that without solid basic skills, students might struggle with subjects like algebra (代数), let alone tackling any other higher-level STEM courses.
8. What problem is presented in the text
A. Students fear math due to abstract concepts.
B. There is a lack of standardized tests in math.
C. Math learners focus on advanced concepts too early.
D. Traditional math teaching discourages many students.
9. Which pair best describes the contrast between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset
A. Dynamic methods vs. standard methods. B. Group learning vs. individual learning.
C. Improvable abilities vs. inborn abilities. D. Long-term results vs. short-term results.
10. How might Jo Boaler recommend teaching the division of 10 by 5
A. By integrating timed drills. B. By rewarding quick calculations.
C. By encouraging repeated reviews. D. By employing pictures and models.
11. What is Marina Ratner’s attitude towards traditional methods of math teaching
A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.
D
Inspired by the medical bay of the USS Enterprise from Star Trek (星际迷航), a research team from the University of Waterloo uses radar technology to monitor people’ s health while at the wheel, turning an ordinary car or truck into a mobile medical center.
Dr. George Shaker, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, is working with a team of graduate students to combine radar with evolving vehicle technology to make health checks easier. The idea is to use the time people spend in their cars to gather data on their health for accurate analysis and preventative treatment — without the need for any type of wearable devices.
The radar, smaller than a USB thumb drive, is placed into the vehicle cabin and sends out signals that detect human vibrations (颤动), which are then sent back to the radar. The built-in AI system collects and analyzes the data to build a medical picture and identify any potential conditions. At the end of the driver’s journey, the system sends the report directly to their cell phone for review.
For Shaker and his team, the challenge was evolving the technology to identify changes in breathing patterns or heart rhythms that signify potential health issues related to cardiovascular conditions as well as respiratory system conditions.
“We focused on enhancing data collection for exact information related to people’s health issues and teaching the AI how to make medical interpretations from this data. Another important consideration was personal privacy and security — no data is stored on the cloud; it is sent to the monitored person’s cellphone only” said Ali Ghara, the lead PhD. student on the project.
The research team is building on this work to expand the radar technology’s capabilities to monitor all vehicle occupants’ overall health and well-being, run diagnostics and generate quality medical reports that flag any issues that need attention, as well as assist with emergency communication in the event of an accident.
12. What can we learn about the radar technology
A. It combines with vehicle technology to assess the driver’s health.
B. It sends the health report to the driver’s phone for review.
C. It provides more accurate health data than wearables.
D. It creates medical pictures to reveal healthy secrets.
13. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. The working principle of the radar device. B. The significance of the built-in AI system.
C. The potential health conditions of drivers. D. The development of vehicle technology.
14. What can be inferred from Ali Ghara’s words in paragraph 5
A. The AI needs training to collect health data. B. AI’s interpretation of medical date is accurate.
C. Cellphones monitor personal privacy and security. D. The team is improving data collection and analysis.
15. What does the follow-up study aim to do
A. Ensure the privacy of medical reports. B. Warn the drivers of potential accidents.
C Enhance health monitoring for all passengers. D. Apply the radar technology across vehicles.

第二节 （满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Dr. Henderson was assigning (指定) project mates for his psychology class, I secretly hoped he would pair me with my best friend or at least a classmate I could have some fun with. Above all, I hoped he wouldn’t assign me to work with the fiercely competitive and extremely serious fellow who always wore dark clothes and apparently had a personality to match. As fate (命运) would have it, Dr. Henderson very deliberately matched everyone in class and announced that I would be working with the one person in class I wanted to avoid.
I went up to my new teammate and introduced myself. He looked at me as though I weren’t there. I felt he treated me as though I would hold him back and probably make him fail to get an A in the course. He wasn’t mean or abusive. He just gave me the impression that he could do whatever project we dreamed up better if he did it alone.
Needless to say, I didn’t look forward to an entire team of being brushed off, but I tried to make the best of it and didn’t say anything for fear that I would make things worse.
The project required each team to develop a hypothesis (假说), set up an experiment to test the hypothesis, do the statistical analysis and present the findings. Whatever grade the team received would be shared by both students.
When my teammate and I met to discuss our project, I was uneasy. Here was this challenging student who had a reputation for single-mindedness and good grades—the exact opposite of me. I actually wanted to drop the class at one point, but stopped short because I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of my chickening out. I decided to stick to it no matter what.
After long discussions, we somehow agreed to do a study on the psychological well-being of teenagers. I wasn’t sure what it meant exactly, but at least we had a topic.
Para.1 We started to meet regularly to draw up our plans.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para. 2 Then one day I got word that he was admitted to the hospital for a serious disease.

答案版
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. D
【】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍的是一个志愿者项目的指南。
【1题】
推理判断题。根据文章的标题“Families and Youth: Instructions for Volunteering in the Golden Gate National Parks(家庭与青少年：金门国家公园志愿服务指南)”以及文章结构信息可知，本文是一个参加活动的指南。故选D项。
【2题】
细节理解题。根据Instruction部分中的“Adult guardians are expected to act as positive role models and to help their young volunteers participate in a safe and constructive way.(成年监护人应起到积极的榜样作用，并帮助他们的年轻志愿者以安全和建设性的方式参与。)”可知，成年人所承担的角色是确保孩子的安全并做好榜样的作用。故选C项。
【3题】
细节理解题。根据Preparation下方的表格中“All need to complete a volunteer agreement form (PDF).(所有志愿者都需要填写一份志愿者协议表格（PDF）。)”以及“Long pants and closed-toe shoes are required.(必须穿长裤和包头鞋。)”可知，参加活动的表格和长裤是必须带的物品。故选D项。
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A
【4题】
推理判断题。第四段““We’re not busy, take your time.” Jonah came with a cappuccino for her. “Thanks.” She accepted the coffee, “Everything’s fine.” Then Jonah nodded, revealing a comforting smile, and went back inside. (“我们不忙，慢慢来。”乔纳给她端来一杯卡布奇诺。“谢谢。”她接受了咖啡，“一切都很好。”然后乔纳点了点头，露出安慰的微笑，然后回到了里面。)”，可知Jonah作为老板很体贴，注意到Cassie的情绪不安，并给予安慰。故选D项。
【5题】
推理判断题。根据第六段前三句“Cassie had gone to study fine art hopefully but dropped out after only a year due to the unbearable homesickness. Since then, she hadn’t touched her paints for a whole year. Today was doomed to be a sad date, the anniversary of her exciting plans turning to dust. (卡西满怀希望地去学习美术，但由于难以忍受的思乡之情，一年后就退学了。从那以后，她整整一年没有碰过颜料。今天注定是一个悲伤的日子，她激动人心的计划的周年纪念日变成了尘埃。)”可知，Cassie原本满怀希望去艺术学校学画画，但因想家甚而辍学。而“今天”是她辍学一周年的日子，也意味着她学习美术的计划中途停止，成了灰烬，所以Cassie情绪不高。故选C项。
【6题】
推理判断题。根据第八段女士说的话““You have talent, but there is much sadness in it, for one so young.” Cassie’s eyes were filled with tears. “My name’s Willow,” the woman said kindly, “Why not try painting the sunrise instead, my dear You might find it helps.” (“你有天赋，但对这么年轻的人来说，这其中有很多悲伤。” Cassie的眼里充满了泪水。“我是Willow，”女人和蔼地说，“为什么不试着画日出呢，亲爱的？你可能会发现它很有用。”)”可知，Willow觉得Cassie的画技很好，但是画中带着不符合她年纪的悲伤，所以建议她改画sunrise，并暗示这可能对她有帮助，即日出会让Cassie不那么悲伤，而是精神振奋。故选B项。
【7题】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In her picture the sun was powering into the sky, casting a clear, golden pathway across the sea. (在她的照片中，太阳直射天空，在海面上投射出一条清晰、金色的路径。)”可知，这张关于日出的图，充满了希望，这给予了Cassie重新获得对生活的积极的态度，故sunrise“日出”是文章中重要的意象。又因为几个选项的意思如下：选项A“The Sun Always Rises (太阳照常升起)”；选项B“Every Man Has Its Price(天生我材必有用)”；选项C选项“Strike While the Iron Is Hot (趁热打铁)”；选项D“A Good Medicine Tastes Bitter (良药苦口)”。故选A项。
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B
【8题】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The problem, according to a Stanford education professor, is a matter of mindset.(斯坦福大学一位教育学教授认为，问题在于心态)”以及第二段“In her new book, Mathematical Mindsets, Boaler describes how society has traditionally valued one type of math learner—one who can memorize well and calculate fast—as opposed to others who have the same potential but may be deeper, slower.(在她的新书《数学心态》中，博阿勒描述了社会传统上是如何重视一种数学学习者的——一种记性好、计算速度快的人——而不是其他有同样潜力但可能更深、更慢的人)”可知，文章阐述了传统数学教学带来的消极影响。故选D。
【9题】
细节理解题。根据第四段“A “growth mindset” is built around the idea that most basic abilities can be developed and expanded upon through dedication and hard work. By contrast, with a “fixed mindset,” people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits (特征).(“成长型思维”是建立在这样一种观念之上的:通过奉献和努力工作，大多数基本能力都可以得到发展和扩展。相比之下，“固定心态”的人认为他们的基本品质，比如他们的智力或才能，只是固定的特征)”可知，两种思维的最大区别在于对个人能力是否可持续发展的态度。故选C。
【10题】
推理判断题。根据第五段“When we open up mathematics and teach broad, visual, creative math, then we teach math as a learning subject instead of as a performance subject(当我们开放数学并教授广泛的、视觉化的、创造性的数学时，我们就把数学作为一门学习科目而不是一门表演科目来教授)”可知Jo Boaler是希望用创新、开放的方式教数学，D选项中的“pictures and models”属于 “broad，visual，creative”这个范畴。故选D。
【11题】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Critics such as Marina Ratner, professor of mathematics at the University of California, express skepticism towards moving away from traditional methods.(加州大学数学教授玛丽娜 拉特纳等批评人士对放弃传统方法表示怀疑)”可知，她认为数学学习没有捷径，传统数学教学仍有价值。故选B。
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. C
【12题】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Inspired by the medical bay of the USS Enterprise from Star Trek (星际迷航), a research team from the University of Waterloo uses radar technology to monitor people’ s health while at the wheel, turning an ordinary car or truck into a mobile medical center.(受《星际迷航》中企业号宇宙飞船医疗舱的启发，来自滑铁卢大学的一个研究团队利用雷达技术监测驾驶者行车时的健康状况，将普通汽车或卡车变成移动医疗中心)”以及第二段“Dr. George Shaker, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, is working with a team of graduate students to combine radar with evolving vehicle technology to make health checks easier.(滑铁卢大学电气与计算机工程系的教授George Shaker博士正带领一群研究生，将雷达与不断发展的车辆技术相结合，使健康检查变得更加容易)”可知，雷达技术与车辆技术的结合来评估驾驶者的健康状况。故选A。
【13题】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“The radar, smaller than a USB thumb drive, is placed into the vehicle cabin and sends out signals that detect human vibrations(颤动), which are then sent back to the radar. The built-in AI system collects and analyzes the data to build a medical picture and identify any potential conditions. At the end of the driver’s journey, the system sends the report directly to their cell phone for review.(雷达装置比USB拇指驱动器还小，被放置在车辆座舱内，并发出信号检测人体颤动，然后将这些信号传回雷达。内置的AI系统收集并分析这些数据，以构建医疗图像并识别任何潜在状况。在驾驶者行程结束时，系统会将报告直接发送到他们的手机上以供查看)”可知，第三段首先描述了雷达装置的大小和放置位置，接着，段落描述了雷达如何工作以及数据的处理。由此可知，第3段主要描述了雷达装置的工作原理，包括其如何检测人体颤动以及内置AI系统如何处理这些数据。故选A。
【14题】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段““We focused on enhancing data collection for exact information related to people’s health issues and teaching the AI how to make medical interpretations from this data. Another important consideration was personal privacy and security —no data is stored on the cloud; it is sent to the monitored person’s cellphone only,” said Ali Ghara, the lead PhD. student on the project.(“我们专注于收集与人们健康问题相关的确切信息的数据收集工作，并教授AI如何从这些数据中进行医学解读。另一个重要考虑因素是个人隐私和安全——数据不会存储在云端；它只会被发送到被监测者的手机上，”该项目的主要博士生Ali Ghara说道)”可知，Ali Ghara博士明确表示团队专注于收集与人们健康问题相关的确切信息的数据收集工作，并教授AI如何从这些数据中进行医学解读。故选D。
【15题】

It opens up doors, gives me an excuse to travel with more purpose, and lets me see behind the scenes.(摄影对我来说一直是个关键。它为我打开了一扇门，给了我一个更有目的旅行的借口，让我看到了幕后。)”提到了摄影对作者的重要性；下文““Better get back to taking photos. Nice to chat!”(“还是聊回拍照吧。这很好聊!”)”转而提到“回到拍照的话题”，为过渡句，下文第二段开始提出学习摄影的建议。由此可知，设空处应是承接上文的话题，与摄影的好处相关。F项“It also helps to slip out of awkward small talk at parties.(这也有助于在聚会上避免尴尬的闲聊。)”中的it指代上文的Photography，also helps也与上文对应。故选F项。
【17题】
上文“I didn’t study photography; I’m not formally trained;(我没有学过摄影；我没有受过正规训练；)”提到了作者既没学过摄影，也没有受过正规训练；下文“But that’s not what photography is about for me.(但这不是摄影对我的意义。)”转而提到上文提到的那些都不是摄影对作者的意义。结合设空处前面的分号可知，设空处与上文两个句子构成排比句式。B项“I have virtually no art experience.(我几乎没有美术经验。)”与上文对应。故选B项。
【18题】
上文“If you want to be a photographer, be constantly asking yourself the question: “What is the story here ” It doesn’t matter if you are shooting a dish at your favorite restaurant or the food waste processing plant that deals with wat’s left over(如果你想成为一名摄影师，就要不断地问自己这个问题：“这里的故事是什么？”无论你是在你最喜欢的餐馆拍摄一道菜，还是在处理剩饭剩菜的食物垃圾处理厂)”提到了如果相当一名摄影师，就要不断问自己“这里的故事是什么？”；下文“What does that mean If I’m photographing a dinner party for Social Supply, it’s important to capture not just the plate of food, but to step back and capture the scene around it.(这是什么意思？如果我正在为Social Supply拍摄晚宴，重要的是不仅要捕捉一盘食物，还要退后一步，捕捉周围的场景。)”通过举例子进一步解释了问“这里的故事是什么？”的含义。A项“Let the story guide you.(让故事引导你。)”与上文的“What is the story here ”对应。故选A项。
【19题】
设空处位于段首，为段落主旨句；下文“I’ve taken hundreds of thousands of photos this year alone. The more you shoot the better you will be. So, start shooting—anything and everything, but specially your fiends’ businesses and projects.(仅今年一年，我就拍了数十万张照片。你拍得越多，你就会越好。所以，开始拍摄吧，什么都可以，尤其是你朋友的生意和项目。)”提到了拍得越多，就会越好，说明摄影是需要练习的。C项“Like anything, photography requires practice.(像任何事情一样，摄影需要练习。)”最能概括本段内容。故选C项。
【20题】
上文“Do I have a good camera Yes, but some people still think that the photos I post from my phone were taken on that camera, so don’t confuse a good device with being a good photographer.(我有好的相机吗？是的，但有些人仍然认为我从手机上发布的照片是用那台相机拍摄的，所以不要把一个好设备和一个好摄影师混为一谈。)”提到了不要把好设备和好摄影师混为一谈，由此可知，设空处应与摄影设备和摄影师有关。E项“Some of my favorite photographers just use their phone.(我最喜欢的一些摄影师只用他们的手机拍。)”与上下文对应。故选E项。

【答案】Dear Mr Williams,
I’m Li Hua, a student from Sunshine Middle School. We’re delighted to accept the invitation to play a friendly table tennis match, which will no doubt strengthen our friendship. I am writing to learn about the arrangements.
Since it is the first time for us to go to Australia, we’d like to know the details about the accommodations so that we can make some preparations in advance. If possible, we prefer to live in host families to experience local culture. Besides, is it possible for you to pick us up at the airport after our arrival I would appreciate it if we could work out a proper schedule for both sides.
Thank you for all your help and look forward to your reply.
Yours,
【答案】范文
Para.1
We started to meet regularly to draw up our panion as I was in the project, I still had no sense of participating in the project. My teammate kept his brain occupied in developing the hypothesis, setting up an experiment to test it, and running the tests alone, leaving me just standing beside him as if I were a fool. “What a dull project it is!” I murmured to myself. However, something changed gradually, as I became aware what the tactile-kinesthetic perception of space meant. Thanks to the intense, fiercely competitive, singularly serious fellow, the whole procedure went smoothly, close to the final stage.
Para. 2
Then one day I got word that he was admitted to the hospital for a serious disease. Without any delay, I packed up my school bag, took all the experiment statistics and rushed to the hospital. Seeing the pale fellow wearing pure white clothes instead of the annoying dark clothes, I felt a sense of sympathy and mercy welling up in my heart. With his guidance, I finished the statistical analysis and presented the findings. It turned out to be such an amazing and persuasive study that my teammate and I did win the best grade. Now, we have been most reliable cooperative partners ever since!
