Ⅰ.阅读理解
A(2025江西上饶二模)
This story begins ten to twelve years ago.I was in my late twenties and I had bought a second-hand car at a car dealership.For a while,everything seemed fine,but then the car started revealing some issues.
First,after about a year,there was a wheel bearing problem(they were worn out) that I had to pay to have them fixed.I was a little annoyed that those got worn out so soon after buying the car,but worse was yet to come.
About three years after buying the car,alert lamps started going off on the dashboard.I brought the car into a local workshop,and they diagnosed it as an ABS module failure.Basically,the control unit for the ABS brakes had to be replaced.
At this point,I should explain that in my country,we have a very good consumer rights and interest law.Among other things,it states that if a product has a longer life expectancy than two years,then you can automatically expect it to last at least five years.If it doesn’t,the seller will be obliged to either repair the item for you or give you your money back.This applies to most items that cost a certain amount of money,and cars are certainly on the list.
Knowing this,I decided to contact the dealership to arrange the repairment of the ABS module.I drove for three hours and entered their shop,found the seller,and explained the problem.But the salesperson said,“Sorry,we can’t take responsibility for that.”
I went back home and double-checked the law.Then I wrote a very lawyer-like email to the dealership,quoting the correct sections of applicable law,which also specified that the seller of a faulty item needed to repair it with little to no inconvenience or cost to the customer.I would look forward to their reply and then consider my next action.
1.Which was the first problem the author encountered
A.The ABS module failed.
B.The wheel bearings were worn out.
C.The dashboard alert lamps failed.
D.The car’s engine broke down.
2.What is the author’s attitude toward the consumer rights and interest law
A.Appreciative. B.Confused.
C.Critical. D.Indifferent.
3.What is the author’s reaction to the salesperson’s reply
A.The author gave up and accepted the situation.
B.The author sold the car to avoid further inconvenience.
C.The author researched the law and prepared to defend his rights.
D.The author decided to take legal action without further communication.
4.What might the author continue talking about
A.The reply from the dealership.
B.The process of selling the car.
C.The reason for buying the second car.
D.The cost of repairing the wheel bearings.

Today’s virtual reality games and content can be absorbing,but they largely miss the mark when it comes to haptic(触觉的) feedback.Wouldn’t it be cool to just feel an object and perceive the sensation of running your hand over rich fabric in VR
That’s what researchers at Northwestern University in Illinois are hoping to achieve with their new wearable,a tiny lightweight device that can go far beyond simply vibrating(震动) against your skin to deliver richer haptic feedback using more advanced tech.
“All existing haptic devices really just stick at the skin,”said John Rogers,the professor leading the design.“But human skin is receptive to much more complicated senses of touch.That’s why we created a device that could apply forces to the skin in any direction—not just sticking but pushing,sliding and stretching.With it,we can finely control the complex sensation of touch in a fully programmable way.”
Powered by a rechargeable battery,the device uses Bluetooth to connect wirelessly with virtual reality headsets and smartphones.Its small size and energy efficiency allow it to be worn anywhere on the body or added to existing wearable tech.
Depending on where the haptic device is mounted—say,on the back of your hand or on a fingertip—the onboard device delivers information about whether you’re moving quickly or slowly,and in which direction.That makes for more realistic motion tracking.It helps the sensory feedback component of VR experiences catch up to the realistic video we’ve come to expect when wearing a headset.
Beyond enabling more engaging experiences,Rogers notes they can also assist with other novel applications.“If you run your finger along a piece of silk,it will slide faster than when touching cotton fabric,”he said.“You can imagine shopping for clothes online and feeling the material.”In another trial,they changed the sound of music into physical touch,so a user could differentiate between tones and instruments by the direction of vibrations they were feeling from the wearable.This tech could also help visually disabled people find their way.Their device represents a transformative force across industries,unlocking vast commercial potentials.
5.What is the main problem with current VR haptic devices
A.They are too heavy to wear comfortably.
B.They only offer simple vibration feedback.
C.They fail to connect wirelessly with headsets.
D.They can’t follow motion direction accurately.
6.On what basis was the device developed
A.Skin’s barrier function.
B.Demand for interactive wearables.
C.Advanced AI technology.
D.Skin’s sensitivity to external forces.
7.How does the device enhance VR experiences
A.By improving video resolution.
B.By adjusting vibration intensity.
C.By employing more vivid sound effects.
D.By matching richer touch sensations with visuals.
8.What will the author most probably discuss next concerning the device
A.Innovative uses.
B.Market prospects.
C.Experimental processes.
D.Design motivations.
C(2025安徽芜湖二模)
The average age at which people started suffering from chronic(慢性的) conditions was 55 years in the 1980s,while this has dropped to 43 years today.Many of these conditions are related to unhealthy lifestyles,and personalized nutrition,which addresses our varying nutritional needs,is considered crucial in changing the trend.The Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research(TNO) and its partners have developed a mobile mini-factory for 3D-printed food,providing a practical solution for personalized nutrition.
Traditionally,personalized nutrition involves providing food recommendations or shopping lists.With 3D food printing,everything is different.TNO created a mobile kitchen that produces “Nutri-Bites”,which are made by printing a dough base,baking it,and adding personalized nutrients layer by layer through a print head.Unlike conventional mass production,where changes require modifying the entire process,3D food printing can adjust food products in real time to match individual needs.
The production of Nutri-Bites relies on a unique recipe,which is based on individuals’ health data,goals,and preferences,as well as measurements such as height and weight.Individuals need to fill in a questionnaire about the information to generate dietary guidance.Then the 3D printer makes the Nutri-Bites with the right balance of nutrients.The system can produce over 50,000 variants,all tailored to each person’s specific needs.
TNO conducted two field studies to test whether Nutri-Bites could meet the needs of different individuals and situations,and whether they could be accepted as food that can improve performance or recovery.The first one tested Nutri-Bites on military personnel to enhance endurance,and the second study focused on hospital patients and their improvement.In both cases,the Nutri-Bites were well received by the target groups.
Various directions are possible for future progress,such as refining and speeding up the production process,or developing other products.In addition,the food platform and its ingredients can be further developed to serve more target groups.
9.What does the underlined part “the trend” in paragraph 1 refer to
A.The expanding application of 3D-printed food in diets.
B.The rapid advancement of personalized nutrition in healthcare.
C.The earlier occurrence of chronic conditions in younger people.
D.The growing number of people with chronic conditions globally.
10.How does 3D-printed personalized nutrition differ from the traditional one
A.It cuts the expense of mass production.
B.It tailors food to individual needs instantly.
C.It improves the process of making nutrients.
D.It uses healthier ingredients to suit individuals.
11.What is the first step in the process of creating Nutri-Bites
A.Creating nutritional recipes.
B.Collecting personal data.
C.Forming dietary recommendations.
D.Selecting proper ingredients.
12.What is the main idea of the passage
A.3D-printed food offers a tailored solution to meet personalized nutritional needs.
B.TNO’s questionnaires and data collection improve traditional food recommendations.
C.Military personnel and hospital patients benefit most from Nutri-Bites in field studies.
D.Chronic diseases now affect younger populations,requiring stricter dietary regulations.

In a conversation,it’s often not just what we say but what we’re asked that makes the difference.The right question can unlock thoughts and feelings we didn’t even know we wanted to share.
Imagine you’re at a party making small talk.Instead of the usual “How’s work ” someone asks,“What’s been inspiring you lately ” 　13　 You find yourself sharing thoughts about a book that changed your views or a recent experience that moved you.The interaction transforms from polite little chat to genuine engagement.　14　 In professional settings,thoughtful questions can lead to better problem-solving and stronger teams.During brainstorming,rather than asking “Any ideas ” try “What would we do if resources were unlimited ”Thoughtful questions like these spark creativity and innovation.
What makes a question “good” The best questions come from pure curiosity and a desire to understand,not to confirm existing beliefs or direct conversations toward predetermined conclusions.
　15　 Before asking something,consider what you really want to learn about the person or topic.It’s the difference between asking “How’s the new job ” out of politeness and “What’s been most surprising about your new role ” from real interest.
Open-ended questions invite richer responses.Instead of “Did you enjoy your vacation ” ask “What moment from your trip will you remember most vividly ”　16　
Context matters too.Questions appropriate for close friends might be too personal for new acquaintances.Being mindful of relationships and situations helps create comfortable and meaningful exchanges.
The art of asking questions and establishing deeper connections is an ongoing journey.　17　 Each one is an invitation to understand someone better,to see the world through their eyes,and to create moments of close human connection.Your next question might unlock an in-depth conversation,a new understanding,or even a life-changing relationship.
A.Suddenly,the conversation shifts.
B.You might not know how to respond.
C.This power extends beyond social situations.
D.Creating powerful questions starts with genuine curiosity.
E.A good question makes the other person feel positive and uplifted.
F.This way,you’re encouraging specific experiences and emotions sharing.
G.As you move forward,challenge yourself to ask more meaningful questions.
