Jules Verne is widely regarded as one of the fathers of science fiction. His“ExtraordinaryVoyages(航海)” series transport readers on grand adventures to the far reaches of Earth and beyond. But Verne did more than just tell entertaining stories —— he also predicted over 100modern-day inventions and technologies in his writings.
For example, in the 1889 short story In the Year 2889, Verne painted a picture of a highly networked world with global multimedia communications. He described the“phonotelephote,”which sent sound and images over great distances. The main character, Fritz Napoleon Smith, is able to easily communicate via this technology with his wife on another continent:
“Mr. Smith was able distinctly to see his wife despite the distance that separated him from her... Mrs. Smith immediately appcared on the telephotic screen, with her features smiling and her eyes moist(潮湿的) with tears.”
Verne's technically-grounded adventure tales represented a new approach to imagining the future through fiction. Unlike other writers of his day who pened more fanciful or supermatural stories, Verne aimed for realism in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge science and his own extensive research. This laid the foundation for the“hard science fiction” of the 20th century and beyond.
Verne is often thought of as a technological optimist, a champion of scientific progress and innovation. But his writings also reveal another perspective. Many of his stories feature a brilliant but mad scientist whose inventions ultimately bring more harm than good. CaptainNemo in 20.000 Leagues Under the Sea uses his submarine (潜艇) to violently attack ships. ForVerne, human nature determined whether technology would be a force for good or a source of destruction.
The spirit of adventure in Verne's timeless stories will live on, continuing to inspire generations to push the boundaries of the possible and create the world of tomorrow. That is perhaps the greatest achievement of the extraordinary voyages of Jules Verne.
24. How docs Mr. Smith contact his wife in In the Year 2889
A. By holding an in-person talk. B. By making a long-distance call.
C. By sending a letter back home. D. By having an instant video chat.
25. What is the“hard science fiction” based on
A. The unrealistic fantasics. B. The fictional technologies.
C. The latest research findings. D. The imagined future worlds.
26. What can we infer about Veme from Captain Nemo's story
A. He is disappointed with human nature.
B. He is aware of the danger of technology.
C. He is in favour of scientific development.

Self-confidence is trusting in our abilities or qualities. It's usually seen as a good thing. But is it possible that we might benefit from a little less confidence in our belicfs
For many years, Dr. Mark Lcary, a neuroscientist at Duke University in Durham,N. C., has studied the role of people's belicfs in their behavior. He found overconfidence is very common,especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA bclicved that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of theChallenger. The good news is that there's a“vaccine (疫苗)” for overconfidence, and that's what scientists call“intellectual humility”—— rocognizing that your belicfs could be wrong.
A survey of 144 college students to measure their intellectual humility found that students who saw their thinking could be wrong tended to be more curious and more likely to seek out new knowledge. They ended up knowing more at the end of the day. But does it actually help you beyond that
To find out more, Dr. Tenelle Porter at Ball State University conducted a series of studies with high school students. She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they'd change their study strutegies to improve their performance and master the material for the next test.
Students who didn't see their knowledge could be wrong might instead just sail through their studying and wouldn't stop to ask themselves if they truly understood what they read, heard,or did. Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test,they found they didn't actually understand as much as they had thought.
Although it might be good for you, researchers recognize that questioning your beliefs can be truly hard. Still, it's important to remember that questioning beliefs isn't always about replacing old ones with new ones. If you find it hard to question a belief, try tnking“baby steps.”
28. Why does the author mention the explosion of the Challenger
A. To express his sorrow for the loss. B. To stress the high risk of space flights.
C. To show the result of wrong operation. D. To give an example of overconfidence.
29. What do we know about intellectual humility according to Porter's research
A. It urged students to gain recognition.
B. It encouraged students to take exams.
C. It helped students to adjust learning methods.
D. It motivated students to memorize knowledge.
30. What do the underlined words“got a subject down pat” mean in paragraph 5
A. Fully mastered a subject. B. Put great effort into a subject.
C. Rcally enjoyed a subject. D. Benefited a lot from a subject.
31. What will probably be discussed in the following paragraphs
A. Why questioning our belief is hard. B. Why intellectual humility is helpful.
C. How to become a confident person. D. How to practice intellectual humility.
D
The ability to detect a nearby presence without seeing or touching it may sound fantastical— but it's a real ability that some creaturos have. A family of African fish known as Momyrids are weakly clectric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby targeL, even when it's hiding in the mud. Scientists have now developed an artificial sensor system modelled on the ability of these fish.
“We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin, bio-inspired by' electric fish,'” says Dr. Xinge Yu, an associate professor in the Department of BiomedicalEagineering at the City University of Hong Kong. The team described their e-skin sensor in a paper published on November 14 in Nature.
The artificial sensor is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter(发射器), which will generate an electric field once activated, and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object. A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter. When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted(扰乱), which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a microcontroller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices.
A special biogel(生物凝胶) is used in the sensor, which has the ability to transmit and receive electric signals from a pattern of microchannels on the surface. The end result is a sensor that is thin, soft and flexible, making it easy to adapt to irregular surfaces, such as the human body. In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors. This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection, transmission, and processing.
The researchers hope that this sensor could one day open up a new range of wearable technologics, including sensors for human-machine interaction and thin, flexible e-skin.
32. The first paragraph aims to show .
A. the special ability of African fish B. the inspiration for a new invention
C. the big challenge of locating objects D. the reason for developing a sensor
33. What is the correct order of the system's working procedures
a. The transmitter creates an electric field.
b. A unit computes the position of the target.
c. The controller sends the activating signal.
d. The receiver detects the change of electric signals.
e. The electric field is disrupted by an approaching object.
A. c-a-c-d-b. B. c-a-d-e-b. C. a-c-e-d-b. D. a-e-c-d-b.
34. What is an advantage of the new sensor system
A. Its sensitivity to different stimulations. B. Its adaptation to environmental changes.
C. Its efficiency in achieving 3D positioning. D. Its speed in data collection and processing.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Machine Detective“Wears” Flexible E-skin B. Bio-inspired Sensor“Feels” Without Touching
C. E-Skin Sensor: The Future of Machine Learning D. Electric Fields: The Frontier of Object Detection
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Green roofs have been around for thousands of years, long before modern housing was developed. From the simple grass-covered roofs above caves to the famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon, they remained an important part of the architecture. 36 They bring enormous environmental benefits and offer solutions to some pressing ecological challenges of our time.
In the design of a green roof, there are key factors that count. The first step is to install(安装)a protective layer over the roof to prevent water damage. 37 It's essential to choose high-quality materials, as once the green roof is completed and the building is in use, replacing the protective layer becomes difficult and expensive.
Next, a drainage(排水) layer, which is often made of pebbles or a special mat, is placed on top. It helps water flow off the roof instead of pooling on it. Then, a growing medium, like soil or other similar materials, is spread over the drainage layer. 38
Now it's time to choose plants for the roof. Some plants have shallow root systems and don't need much water. 39 Sedum and chives are good examples of such plants. They are not only water-efficient but tough and long-lasting.
40 It's important to think about your budget. On average, it costs S25 to $30 per square foot to install a green roof. This doesn't include the cost of installing or repairing the normal roof underneath. And there is labour cost to cover. If a traditional roof costs $30 per square foot, installing a green roof could easily double that expense.
A. This is where the plants will grow.
B. However, green roofs come at a high cost.
C. Today, green roofs are gaining more attention.
D. These features make them ideal for green roofs.
E. As a result, they led to the popularity of green roofs.
F. Green roof materials can range from grass to solar panels.
G. The layer also stops plant roots growing into the roof structure.

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。
The car turned onto the familiar road that led to Grandma's farm. “Jude, this summer holiday will be a great chance for you to stay with your grandma,” Dad said as he drove. Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right.
The car engine wasn't off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. " Jude, you look unhappy. Why " Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake Was he still upset with me “I'm fine,” I answered. “I'm just missing my computer puters are something I'm good at.”“That sounds disappointing,” Grandma nodded.
I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower bcds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers' market.
Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr.Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly barvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I descrved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.
However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的) computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn't mean you never make mistakes.”
I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件) for our internet connection, but we just can't set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century.

Dear Mr Green,
I am writing to share my ideas on the logo design for our English literature reading room. Among the three options, I prefer Logo 1, “Open a book, Open a world.”
This design captures the essence of reading. The image of an open book combined with a globe and an eye symbolizes how reading opens our minds and broadens our horizons. Additionally, the logo is visually appealing and easy to recognize. It will connect well with students and encourage them to engage with the reading room.
I truly hope my suggestion is considered, as this logo best reflects the purpose of the reading room. Thank you, and I look forward to the final decision.
第二节
Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! Where are the parts ” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. Rolling up my sleeves, I carefully connected everything. It was a piece of cake to me. “Done!” I announced confidently. After a few adjustments, the internet was up and running. Now it was time to sell roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Before long, notifications started showing up-----people were noticing. My abilities made a difference!
Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing,Jude!” grandma cheered with joy as she began bustling about, packing flowers. Mr Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch of label. The energy was electric-----everyone was on their feet, moving quickly to keep up with the growing orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. To our surprise, the roses sold out in just half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century, Jude,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized that being competent wasn’t about avoiding mistakes. It was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths.

The ability to detect a nearby presence without seeing or touching it may sound fantastical— but it's a real ability that some creaturos have. A family of African fish known as Momyrids are weakly clectric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby targeL, even when it's hiding in the mud. Scientists have now developed an artificial sensor system modelled on the ability of these fish.
“We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin, bio-inspired by' electric fish,'” says Dr. Xinge Yu, an associate professor in the Department of BiomedicalEagineering at the City University of Hong Kong. The team described their e-skin sensor in a paper published on November 14 in Nature.
The artificial sensor is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter(发射器), which will generate an electric field once activated, and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object. A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter. When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted(扰乱), which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a microcontroller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices.
A special biogel(生物凝胶) is used in the sensor, which has the ability to transmit and receive electric signals from a pattern of microchannels on the surface. The end result is a sensor that is thin, soft and flexible, making it easy to adapt to irregular surfaces, such as the human body. In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors. This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection, transmission, and processing.
The researchers hope that this sensor could one day open up a new range of wearable technologics, including sensors for human-machine interaction and thin, flexible e-skin.
32. The first paragraph aims to show .

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。
Green roofs have been around for thousands of years, long before modern housing was developed. From the simple grass-covered roofs above caves to the famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon, they remained an important part of the architecture. 36 They bring enormous environmental benefits and offer solutions to some pressing ecological challenges of our time.
In the design of a green roof, there are key factors that count. The first step is to install(安装)a protective layer over the roof to prevent water damage. 37 It's essential to choose high-quality materials, as once the green roof is completed and the building is in use, replacing the protective layer becomes difficult and expensive.
Next, a drainage(排水) layer, which is often made of pebbles or a special mat, is placed on top. It helps water flow off the roof instead of pooling on it. Then, a growing medium, like soil or other similar materials, is spread over the drainage layer. 38
Now it's time to choose plants for the roof. Some plants have shallow root systems and don't need much water. 39 Sedum and chives are good examples of such plants. They are not only water-efficient but tough and long-lasting.
40 It's important to think about your budget. On average, it costs S25 to $30 per square foot to install a green roof. This doesn't include the cost of installing or repairing the normal roof underneath. And there is labour cost to cover. If a traditional roof costs $30 per square foot, installing a green roof could easily double that expense.
A. This is where the plants will grow.
B. However, green roofs come at a high cost.
C. Today, green roofs are gaining more attention.
D. These features make them ideal for green roofs.
E. As a result, they led to the popularity of green roofs.
F. Green roof materials can range from grass to solar panels.
G. The layer also stops plant roots growing into the roof structure.

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。
The car turned onto the familiar road that led to Grandma's farm. “Jude, this summer holiday will be a great chance for you to stay with your grandma,” Dad said as he drove. Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right.
The car engine wasn't off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. " Jude, you look unhappy. Why " Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake Was he still upset with me “I'm fine,” I answered. “I'm just missing my computer puters are something I'm good at.”“That sounds disappointing,” Grandma nodded.
I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower bcds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers' market.
Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr.Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly barvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I descrved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.
However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的) computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn't mean you never make mistakes.”
I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件) for our internet connection, but we just can't set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century.

Dear Mr Green,
I am writing to share my ideas on the logo design for our English literature reading room. Among the three options, I prefer Logo 1, “Open a book, Open a world.”
This design captures the essence of reading. The image of an open book combined with a globe and an eye symbolizes how reading opens our minds and broadens our horizons. Additionally, the logo is visually appealing and easy to recognize. It will connect well with students and encourage them to engage with the reading room.
I truly hope my suggestion is considered, as this logo best reflects the purpose of the reading room. Thank you, and I look forward to the final decision.

Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! Where are the parts ” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. Rolling up my sleeves, I carefully connected everything. It was a piece of cake to me. “Done!” I announced confidently. After a few adjustments, the internet was up and running. Now it was time to sell roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Before long, notifications started showing up-----people were noticing. My abilities made a difference!
Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing,Jude!” grandma cheered with joy as she began bustling about, packing flowers. Mr Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch of label. The energy was electric-----everyone was on their feet, moving quickly to keep up with the growing orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. To our surprise, the roses sold out in just half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century, Jude,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized that being competent wasn’t about avoiding mistakes. It was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths.
