(2025·江西多校联考)
The “passenger carrying pilotless” electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicle, autonomous flying taxis, could soon be a reality after a vehicle manufacturer (生产商) obtained the world's first production certificate to manufacture them in China.
First announced in 2018, this eVTOL is a small, fully electric VTOL craft built with carbon fiber and 16 propellers (螺旋桨) powered by 16 motors. It can reach speeds of up to 62 mph and has a maximum altitude of around 10,000 feet. Designed for passenger transport, it can hold two passengers and has an autonomic driving system.
Many companies manufacture eVTOLs, but they have so far only been developed as prototypes (样机) for test flights. This eVTOL has been tested numerous times with both crewed and uncrewed flights. It isn't the company's first model. It follows a “passenger drone” that first appeared in 2016. The vehicle is expected to function in areas such as air taxi service, aerial tourism, airport shuttles, and cross island transportation.
Large scale production of this eVTOL represents an important milestone in making unmanned eVTOLs and similar aircraft a reality. It's the first eVTOL to have been granted such certification, which in turn could make China the first nation to make flying taxis a service that people can use.
While this eVTOL now has approval for mass production, the authority issued the Green Aviation Manufacturing Industry Development Program (2023 2035) in October 2023, which offers guidance on putting a pilot operated eVTOL in the skies by 2025 and fully autonomous services on a large scale by 2035, including the need to establish practical regulations and insurance plans for flying cars.
In contrast, a US implementation plan has targeted 2028 as the year that eVTOLs will fly commercially for the first time, with appropriate regulation and certification governing their safe manufacturing and use. With this in mind, China could steal a march on the US in terms of making—or at least testing—eVTOLs at a commercial level.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新型电动垂直起降(eVTOL)飞行器的相关信息,包括其设计特点、功能用途、生产认证情况以及未来的发展前景等。
1.What is the author's purpose of writing Paragraph 2
A.To explain the potential uses of the eVTOL.
B.To describe the productive process for the eVTOL.
C.To show the technical specifications of the eVTOL.
D.To state the history of the eVTOL's development.
解析:C 推理判断题。根据第二段“First announced in 2018, this eVTOL is a small, fully electric VTOL craft built with carbon fiber and 16 propellers (螺旋桨) powered by 16 motors. It can reach speeds of up to 62 mph and has a maximum altitude of around 10,000 feet. Designed for passenger transport, it can hold two passengers and has an autonomic driving system.(该eVTOL于2018年首次公布,是一种小型全电动垂直起降飞行器,由碳纤维和16个螺旋桨组成,由16个电机提供动力。它的速度最高可达62英里/小时,最大高度约为10,000英尺。专为客运设计,可容纳两名乘客,并配有自动驾驶系统。)”可知,本段的目的是展示eVTOL的技术参数。故选C项。
2.What do we know about the eVTOL from Paragraph 3
A.It was first developed in 2016.
B.It is the company's first model.
C.It has only been tested with crewed flights.
D.It is expected to be used in air taxi service.
解析:D 细节理解题。根据第三段“This eVTOL has been tested numerous times with both crewed and uncrewed flights. It isn't the company's first model. It follows a ‘passenger drone’ that first appeared in 2016. The vehicle is expected to function in areas such as air taxi service, aerial tourism, airport shuttles, and cross island transportation.(这种eVTOL已经在载人和无人飞行中进行了多次测试。这并不是该公司的第一款机型。在此之前,2016年首次出现了一款‘客运无人机’。该飞行器预计将在空中出租车服务、空中旅游、机场穿梭和跨岛运输等领域发挥作用。)”可知,eVTOL预计将用于空中出租车服务。故选D项。
3.What does the underlined word “granted” in Paragraph 4 mean
A.Confirmed. B.Digested.
C.Denied. D.Implied.
解析:A 词句猜测题。根据第一段“The ‘passenger carrying pilotless’ electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicle, autonomous flying taxis, could soon be a reality after a vehicle manufacturer (生产商) obtained the world's first production certificate to manufacture them in China.(‘载客无人驾驶’电动垂直起降(eVTOL)车辆,即自动飞行出租车,可能很快就会成为现实,因为一家汽车制造商获得了世界上第一个在中国制造的生产证书。)”以及第四段“which in turn could make China the first nation to make flying taxis a service that people can use(这反过来又可能使中国成为第一个让飞行出租车成为人们可以使用的服务的国家)”可知,这可能使中国成为第一个让飞行出租车成为人们可以使用的服务的国家,所以应是首架获得认证的eVTOL飞机,推知granted应是“承认”之意,和A项意思相近。故选A项。
4.Which can be the best title for the text
A.The Future Of Air Taxi Service In The US
B.Flying Taxis Are About To Become A Reality
C.The Rapid Development Of eVTOL Vehicles
D.A Vehicle Manufacturer Will Launch Air Taxi Service
解析:B 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The ‘passenger carrying pilotless’ electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicle, autonomous flying taxis, could soon be a reality after a vehicle manufacturer (生产商) obtained the world's first production certificate to manufacture them in China.(‘载客无人驾驶’电动垂直起降(eVTOL)车辆,即自动飞行出租车,可能很快就会成为现实,因为一家汽车制造商获得了世界上第一个在中国制造的生产证书。)”以及通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了一种新型电动垂直起降(eVTOL)飞行器的相关信息,所以B项“Flying Taxis Are About To Become A Reality(飞行出租车即将成为现实)”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。

Scientific discovery is one of the most complicated human activities, for scientists must understand the existing knowledge, raise a research question and design and conduct an experiment in pursuit of an answer. Can this complex process be automated
Last week, Sakana AI Labs announced the creation of an “AI scientist”—an artificial intelligence system they claim can make scientific discoveries in a fully automated way. Using generative large language models(LLMs)like those behind ChatGPT and other AI chatbots, the system can brainstorm, select a promising idea, code new algorithms(算法), plot results, and write a paper summarizing the experiment and its findings.
Nowadays, a lot of science is done in the open, and almost all scientific knowledge has been written down somewhere. Millions of scientific papers are freely available online. LLMs trained with this data can easily capture the language of science and its patterns. It is therefore perhaps not at all surprising that a generative LLM can produce something that looks like a good scientific paper—it has absorbed many examples that it can copy.
What is less clear is whether an AI system can produce an interesting scientific paper. Crucially, good science requires novelty. Scientists don't want to be told about things that are already known. Rather, they want to learn new things, especially new things that are significantly different from what is already known.
The Sakana system tries to address novelty in two ways. First,it “scores” new paper ideas for similarity to existing research. Anything too similar is cast away. Second, Sakana's system introduces a “peer review” step—using another LLM to judge the quality and novelty of the generated paper.
Feedback is mixed on Sakana AI's output. Some have described it as producing “endless scientific slop”. Even the system's own review of its outputs judges the papers weak at best. This is likely to improve as the technology evolves, but the question of whether automated scientific papers are valuable remains. Is this the kind of scientific ecosystem we want

Second, Sakana's system introduces a ‘peer review’ step—using another LLM to judge the quality and novelty of the generated paper.(Sakana系统试图通过两种方式解决创新问题。首先,它对新论文的想法与现有研究的相似性进行‘评分’。太相似的东西都被抛弃了。其次,Sakana的系统引入了一个‘同行评议’步骤——使用另一个LLM来判断生成论文的质量和新异)”可知,Sakana系统试图通过排除类似的论文观点确保新颖。故选B。
8.What may be the author's attitude towards AI scientific ecosystem
A.Unclear. B.Supportive.
C.Skeptical. D.Indifferent.
解析:C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Feedback is mixed on Sakana AI's output. Some have described it as producing ‘endless scientific slop’. Even the system's own review of its outputs judges the papers weak at best. This is likely to improve as the technology evolves, but the question of whether automated scientific papers are valuable remains. Is this the kind of scientific ecosystem we want?(Sakana AI的输出反馈是混合的。一些人将其描述为产生‘无尽的科学垃圾’。即使是系统自己对其产出的审查,也会判断这些论文充其量是薄弱的。随着技术的发展,这种情况可能会有所改善,但自动化的科学论文是否有价值的问题仍然存在。这就是我们想要的科学生态系统吗)”可知,作者认为自动化的科学论文价值问题有待判断,因此,对于人工智能科学生态系统持有怀疑态度。故选C。

(2025·青岛市一模)
I begged my mom to let me make cookies by myself.Even though I had never attempted baking before, I was nine years old and my friend Emmie had been baking cupcakes by herself for a year.I was determined to prove that I could make it.
My brother, Caleb, laughed at the idea of me cooking alone, calling it a disaster.Having a big brother can be annoying.Despite his laughing, my mom agreed to let me try.She reminded me to take my time and be careful because I'd had some messy spills before I was nine.
I raced to the kitchen and went to work.I cracked eggs and put a cold stick of butter into the bowl.I turned on the mixer at medium speed—and whoa.Whoa.Whoa! What a disaster! I had to wipe butter off my face, then off the table and floor.
Caleb made fun of me again, calling me a mess.I chased him away with a spoon and turned back to the mixing bowl.I started again with softer butter.Referring to the recipe, I poured everything needed into the bowl and mixed it.After that, I put the round batter (面糊) onto the cookie sheet and put it into the oven (烤箱).Within a minute, a fantastic smell filled the kitchen—the smell of cookie success!
I was going to prove that I was responsible.No more eye rolling from my brother.No more “You're too young” from my parents.I had grown up and was in control.
I stared into the oven, and my heart sank.The neat, little balls had melted (融化) and overflowed to the edges of the cookie sheet.I pulled the pan out just as Caleb wandered back into the kitchen.
“What in the world?” He started to laugh.“Cookie soup?”
“You just be quiet,” I whispered, trying not to cry.“Just leave me alone.”
“How's it going in there?” Dad called from the living room.
Caleb raised his eyebrows and bit his lip.I responded that everything was fine, pouring the melted batter into the bowl quickly.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

参考范文:
I picked up the directions, wondering what had gone wrong.Taking a deep breath, I reread the recipe word by word.Suddenly, I realized my mistake—the temperature of the oven was set too high, and I hadn't chilled the dough as the recipe suggested.With new found confidence, I grabbed a new bowl and started over.This time, I followed the instructions precisely, adjusting the oven's temperature and letting the dough chill in the refrigerator.Finally came the last step: I carefully placed the cookies back into the oven.
I brought a plate of cookies into the living room for my family.The cookies looked not perfectly golden, but smelt good.I stared at them nervously when they were tasting the cookies.“These are delicious!” my mom exclaimed, her praise filling me with warmth.My dad nodded in agreement, asking for another.To my surprise, Caleb winked mischievously at me and said, “Really doing well, sister.” At that moment, my heart was filled with a nice sense of fulfillment.Not only had I proven myself, but I had also learned a valuable lesson: The first step to overcoming setbacks is persistence.
