【详解】句意：虽然花了很长时间，但我们终于习惯了和村里其他人一样早起。
考查动词短语辨析。used to过去常常，常用used to do sth的结构；preferred更喜爱，常用prefer to do的结构；got used to习惯于，常用get used to doing sth的结构；would rather宁愿，常用would rather do sth的结构。根据“Although it took a long time, we finally...getting up as early as everyone else in the village.”可知，很长时间后习惯了早起，故选C。

【详解】句意：这些机器人也可以帮助医生给病人动手术。
考查动词不定式作宾语补足语。operate做手术，动词原形；be operated动手术，被动语态；operate on给（某人）动手术；operate to表示给人动手术时，用介词on，不用to。根据“patients”可知此处用动词短语operate on sb表示“给某人动手术”。故选C。
考查动词短语和感官动词。looks看起来；taste尝起来；looks like看起来像；taste like尝起来像。根据“chocolate ice cream”可知，第一空指看起来像巧克力冰淇淋，用looks like；再根据“sweet”为形容词可知，第二空应用感官动词taste，表示“尝起来是甜的”。故选B。

What are some of the challenges of your role?One particular challenge is having to accept the frustrating reality (24) _________ although the gallery is there to connect people with pictures, it sadly doesn't have the capacity or resources to reach everyone all the time. (25)_________ is simply finding the time, amidst a busy workload of daily museum tasks and an intensive shorter-term exhibition schedule, to undertake longer-term research projects, involving thorough investigation of the pictures themselves, secondary research (26) _________ (conduct) in libraries, and conversations with peers worldwide. Have you personally had any unusual experiences during your work for the National Gallery?I have had plenty of memorable and exciting experiences, (27) _________ _________ ascending scaffolding (脚手架) to see Bridget Riley's Messengers in progress or looking at technical images to detect fascinating under drawing lying beneath the visible painted surface of a painting. A particularly happy moment for me (28) _________ (occur) when an album of 200 drawings came to light, the work by Elizabeth, Lady Eastlake (1809-1893) , wife of the gallery's first director. They included her sketches of places she visited abroad with her husband, as well as her pencil copies of paintings they inspected during his search to find qualified masterpieces for the national collection.I (29) _________ (imagine) that Lady Eastlake's sketches were lost or destroyed, so it was an extraordinary moment when I realised they were staring me in the face-and were so well preserved! The generous owner soon donated the precious album to the National Gallery so that her drawings (30) _________ be reunited with her husband's working notebooks and accessible for others to enjoy.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. analyzedB. boundaryC. compoundD. detectE. orbitF. potentialG. primitive H. stretching I. subsequently J. tubular K. unquestionablyVisitors are hereIn 2017, when astronomers discovered the asteroid (小行星) 11/2017 U1, it soon dawned on them that they had a strange object on their hands. The calculated 31 showed this long and thin rock to be simply passing through the solar system, and therefore its origin not of this world, as they like to say in the movies. The object was 32 named 'Oumuamua (from the Hawaiian word for “a person sent ahead to get information about the enemy's position, strength, etc.”) , raising memories of an old Star Trek episode, “For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky,” in which a long, 33 asteroid proved to be an alien ship in disguise (伪装) .There's nothing surprising about interstellar objects passing through our neighborhood. Or there shouldn't be, at least. There's no magical barrier at the 34 of our solar system. Although we see a sky full of stars a and inor telescopes 35 hundreds of clusters a and nebulae (星云) , most of the space in a galaxy's disk is practically empty, save for the thin interstellar medium.This month, science journalist David Chandler delivers a fascinating look at the 36 for spacecraft missions to interstellar intruders. Catching up to Oumuamua now would be virtually impossible. This thin, cigar-shaped rock, 37 about 1, 300 feet long, is rushing along at about 16 miles per second and is already as far away as the average distance to Pluto.But there's no doubt that other visitors from other stars will come by again. This has 38 happened countless times in the 4. 6-billion-year history of our star and its planets- and now, astrophysics is in an advanced state. Every day we learn about 39 conditions long ago in the solar system by studying pieces of rock or metal from space that have landed on Earth and other objects. With the chemistry of materials from the origin days of other stars 40 , who knows what could be found from such priceless relics.That's another comforting thought to keep in mind as you read David's story and then gaze up into a dark sky full of wonder.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B. C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Should period dramas reflect modern sensibilities?Simon Jenkins The most popular films of my youth were war films. They were about how Britain won a war—and that could be any war you cared to mention. In my opinion, they were great fun and, mostly, patriotic 41 .I'm a journalist and occasional historian, and something the two professions share is a respect for the 42of truth. Both are in the business of bringing events to life through the power of fact, not falsification. They may sometimes be 43 of distortion (歪曲) and thoughtless analysis, but to be plain wrong is unethical and unprofessional. The gap between fact and fiction is one that should not be crossed—or if crossed, should stand corrected.Many playwrights, filmmakers and novelists 44 . To them, history is a stimulus to artistic licence, material to be exploited and 45 for dramatic effect. Their considerations are audience appeal, profit and, often, politics. They leave it to historians to worry about 46 . This, to me, is lying.I have always found ‘ 47 ’ (in which facts are the basis for fiction) hard to stomach. I can appreciate‘docudrama’, which dramatises the events, or the novels of Hilary Mantel, as attempts to deepen our understanding of the past. Mantel insisted that her goal was always to be as 48 as the facts allowed. She did not 49 create false events. The same was not true of The Crown and its much-documented faking of stories. The fact the team behind the show took such pains to cast actors that 50 their real-life counterparts simply added a touch of reality to the made-up story. The result was an audience 51 of what was true or false.I appreciate that history—as with 52 —involves selection, and that selection itself can be motivated by a desire to twist the truth. Each age puts pressure on historians to select material in a manner that respects the 53 or bias (偏向) of nations, groups or individuals. The duty of the historian is to see behind such bias. The task is toreveal what happened, why and how.In an age of artificial intelligence and online ‘deep fakery’, the truth has never been more 54 . The world of fiction has no need to be a parasite (寄生虫) on history: it has all of human imagination to supply it with plots. Every work that claims to be ‘based on real events’ should, in my view, be identified as lies, and should display a large ‘T’ or ‘NT’ —true or not true. Artistic licence should not be a (n) 55 to deceive.41. A. honour B. instinct C. rubbish D. masterpiece42. A. victory B sacredness C. suspicion D. degree43. A. proud B typical C. desperate D. guilty44. A. disagree B. persist C. hesitate D. echo45. A. recorded B. publicized C. abused D. corrected46. A. plot B. artistry C. edition D. truth47. A faction B. profile C nonfiction D. social-drama48. A. awesome B. imaginative C. accurate D. comprehensive49. A. necessarily B deliberately C. merely D. duly50. A. adored B. falsified C. documented D. resembled51. A. conscious B ignorant C. clear D. insightful52. A. journalism B. literature C. politics D. patriotism53. A. literacy B. reason C. justice D. sensitivity54. A. immoral B. precious C. sufficient D. revolutionary55. A. instance B. tendency C. licence D submissionSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)“Who says it's Father's Day?” my son says to me, with the questioning angry look of someone who's been told they have extra tax to pay. “Well, the world does,” I tell him, suddenly self-conscious. “It's a special day for daddies.”Something about this—I can't think what—comes out sounding quite desperate and he looks at me as if I've just suggested he prove his love for me with a face tattoo (文身) . It's a look of suspicion, but also of tender concern for my mental state.This is his fifth Father's Day, so I can't help feeling slightly wounded that the concept hasn't stuck with him. I also can't help noting that he has never had any such issue with Mother's Day, which has always seemed to him like common sense.The event's nearness to his own birthday two weeks from now—is making things more difficult for him to tolerate. It would seem he finds it impolite that the run-up to his special day should be interrupted so close to the finish line by a day that celebrates me, the lesser of his two parents. In any case, if he's planning to make or gift me something, this conversation has been a masterstroke of expectation management“So, will all daddies get a Father's Day?” he asks. “Yes,” I reply, “and this isn't new-it's every year!” I attempt to regulate my voice/offence, but also make it very clear I haven't made this idea up on the spot by myself. “You've been doing it since you were born. And it's been around longer than that. I get things for Grandad every year, too.”At this he stirs himself up. He has never quite stopped being fascinated by the idea that his grandad is my dad, in the same way that I am his. I suppose it's the same thrill I feel when I see pictures of massive cranes (起重机) being built by other, even bigger cranes.“What do you get him?” he asks. “Well,” I say, “things like CDs or socks-and always a card.” At this he seems inspired. “I'll do a card!” he says, brightening.“You could buy me something, too. . .” I begin, but he is no longer listening, running to grab coloured paper and glittery pens. Not wishing to see this tribute to myself a whole week early, I smile and tell him I really shouldn't be watching and get up to leave him to it.“Yes,” he says, just in time for me to see he's actually writing “Dear Grandad” on the page. “Don't tell him!”56. How does the writer feel when explaining Father's Day?A. Suspicious.B. Embarrassed.C. Proud.D. Ridiculous.57. It can be inferred from the son's response that ________.A. the son feels hurt because the concept escapes himB. the writer looks relieved due to his son's tender heartC. a face tattoo is the way to prove a son's love for his fatherD. the son identifies with Mother's Day more than Father's Day58. The writer mentions Grandad in order to ________.A. justify the annual celebration of Father's DayB. practise skills of expectation managementC. narrow the gap between the three generationsD. link Father's Day to his son's birthday59. Which of the following best summarises the passage?A. When celebrating Father's Day, you should also send a DIY card to your grandpa.B. It is a universally acknowledged fact that Father's Day is a special day for daddies.C. Father's Day is a special time to celebrate Dad, but for my son that's a bit of a stretch.D. My son and father have agreed to keep the Father's Day greetings card secret from me.(B)611907Elizabeth Maconchy is born on 19 March in Broxbourne,Hertfordshire.

William LeFanu, a surgeon, got married to Maconchy.C. Maconchy began composing a series of string quartets.D. Sir Henry Wood composed an orchestral suite The Land.(C)A theme at this year's World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Switzerland was the perceived need to “speed up breakthroughs in research and technology.” Some of this framing was motivated by the climate emergency, some by the opportunities and challenges presented by generative artificial intelligence. Yet in various conversations, it seemed to be taken for granted that to address the world's problems, scientific research needs to move faster. The WEF mindset is similar to the Silicon Valley dictate—to move fast and break things. But what if the thing being broken is science? Or public trust?The WEF meeting took place just two weeks after Harvard University President Claudine Gay stepped down after complaints were made about her political science scholarship. In response, Gay requested corrections to several of her papers. Although it may be impossible to determine just how widespread such problems really are,it's hard to imagine that the scene of high-profile scholars correcting and retracting papers has not had a negative impact on public trust in science and perhaps in experts broadly.In recent years we've seen important papers, written by outstanding scientists and published in celebrated journals, retracted because of questionable data or methods, hence a question: Are scholars at supercompetitive places such as Harvard and Stanford rushing to publish rather than taking the time to do their work right?It's impossible to answer this question scientifically because there's no scientific definition of what constitutes "rushing. "But there's little doubt that we live in a culture where academics at leading universities are under tremendous pressure to produce results—and a lot of them—quickly.The problem is not unique to the U. S. In Europe, formal research assessments—which are used to allocate (分配) future funding—have for years judged academic departments largely on the quantity of their output. A recent reform urging an emphasis on quality over quantity allowed that the existing system had created “counterincentives. ”Good science takes time. More than 50 years elapsed between the 1543 publication of Copernicus's On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres. And it took just about half a century for geologists and geophysicists to accept geophysicist Alfred Wegener's idea of continental drift.There's plenty of circumstantial evidence that scientists and other scholars are pushing results out far faster than they used to. Consider the sheer volume of academic papers being published these days. One recent study put the number at more than seven million a year, compared with fewer than a million as recently as 1980. Some of this growth is driven by more scientists and more co-authorship of papers, but the numbers also suggest that the research world has prioritized quantity over quality. Researchers may need to slow down if we are to produceknowledge worthy of trust.63. WEF meeting in Switzerland advocated that ________.A. researchers need to achieve breakthroughs more rapidlyB. public trust in science is not supposed to be easily brokenC. WEF and Silicon Valley reach an agreement to move fastD. climate emergency and AI push scientific research hard64. Which of the following examples fails to prove that good science takes time?A. Gay's correction and retraction of papers.B. Publication of Copernicus's theory.C. High-profile scholars' tremendous output.D. Acceptance of the idea of continental drift.65. The underlined word “counterincentives” in para. 5 probably means ________.A. measures to increase quantities of outputB. discouragements of high quality papersC. rewards for leading universities' researchD. contradictory motives for future funding66. Which of the following is best title of the passage?A. WEF Coincides with Silicon ValleyB. Collapse of Public TrustC. Dilemma between Quantity and QualityD. Trouble in the Fast LaneSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Brentford FC has taken a different approach.B. Statistics have helped the team win on the pitch, too.C. He applied his talent to identifying the underlying strength of football teams.D. Analytics underlay and supported a remarkably profitable buy-low-sell-high transfer strategy.E. They were told to focus not on how many goals a team was scoring, which was subject to too much randomness.F. Like “Moneyball” , a hit book about the use of statistics in baseball, “Smart Money” is both informative and entertaining.Football and dataA numbers gameAt most football clubs, the equation is simple: you put in vast amounts of money, and you get out star players and win victories. Take Manchester City, the Premier League's reigning champions. Before its takeover in 2008 by a Middle East plutocrats (财阀) , the club often struggled in the bottom half of the table; it has won English football's championship seven times since 2011.67. _________ The club was promoted into the Premier League in 2021 after striving for decades in the lower reaches of football. What makes its success surprising is not how much money its owner, Matthew Benham, has put into the team, but how little. In a new book “Smart Money”. Alex Duff, a lifelong Brentford fan, explains how a money-saving plan made profits.Mr Benham studied physics at Oxford University and then went to work in banking. In his early 30s, sensing correctly that bookmakers (赌注登记人) were inaccurate when setting odds for football matches, Mr Benham leftbanking to become a full-time gambler.He set up his own company, Smartodds, and competed with financial institutions to hire the best mathematicians. 68. _________ Instead, their focus should be the "goal-scoring opportunities it was creating. In time, he reckoned, the goals would comeThe approach was so efficient that when Brentford, going through one of its periodic financial crises, put out a general appeal for help in 2005, Mr Benham offered his services. Within a decade he owned the club and was applying his ideas to how the team was constructed. 69. _________There were plenty of doubters within football about Brentford's philosophy. But in time it worked. In their first season in the Premier League, Mr Benham's investment of around f100m in the club—a tiny sum compared with competitors—realised its first profit of £25m.70. _________ Mr Benham identifed ser pieces (定位球) as an important part of creating scoring opportunities, and hired Gianni Vio, an Italian coach with 4, 000 such plays in his career. Players are instructed to press the opposition and tackle players within ten seconds of them receiving the ball. Though Brentford is not competing for the title, in recent years the team has beaten several of football's plutocrats—including Manchester City. What were the odds?IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Build better boundariesDoing a good deed like helping your friend with their homework or sharing a snack can make you feel happy. Studies show that kindness is good for your wellbeing. However, if you often agree to things you don't want to do, or feel guilty saying no, you could be falling into a people-pleasing trap. It's not always easy to tell when this happens but one clue is that it's difficult to stop. Pleasing other people may feel good for a short while but the feeling doesn't last. This is why it's a good idea to set limits on what you'll do for others. These are called “boundaries”.Spending too much energy on someone else can stop you doing things you want or need to do. Research has found that trying to please others can leave us feeling stressed and uncomfortable. We can also feel angry and frustrated with ourselves and our friends. “There's nothing wrong with being kind to other people,” says Dr Toru Sato, an author and expert in thoughts and feelings, but we need to be sure we're doing it out of kindness, not because we're worried about what other people think.Taking on so much that you end up letting others down doesn't make you a better friend. The youth mental health charity YoungMinds says boundaries include taking time alone when you need it and being able to explain your needs. If saying no feels hard, practise with small things, like if someone offers a straw in a restaurant. This can help you feel more confident. Thinking about how to say no also helps, YoungMinds says, and allows you to communicate what you want clearly and calmly. Remember, you don't need an excuse to say no; you don't owe anyone an explanation. The good people in your life will respect this boundary.71. _________________________________________________________________________________________ V. Translation。

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. awareB. considerableC. ever-expandingD. fearfulE. outperformingF. platformsG. primitivelyH. prospectsI. revitalizingJ. substantiallyK. unsatisfyingChangesI have been working with Chinese students since the 1990s, and have observed firsthand their changing conditions. Many are certainly __31__ that life today is far more comfortable and easier than it was in their grandparents', or even parents', youth. With this in mind, I would like to share some of what they related to me, including their hopes, dreams and fears which are like what I've found on Douyin, Kuaishou, Weibo, Zhihu and even Biliblili -- all popular __32__ among young people in China.After taking stock of China's efforts to protect human lives and improve people's livelihoods, including eliminating（消除）extreme poverty and __33__ the countryside, pushing forward with green development, and standing tall as a major power, many feel proud to be Chinese in this day and age. They expressed a(n) __34__ confidence in China's future and are eager to be part of it.Several described feeling a type of existential concern. On the one hand, they're proud to be Chinese, happy to be part of a large, powerful nation, and pleased that their conditions and __35__ are strong. On the other, having grown up in an accelerating（加速的）consumer society, shaped __36__ by social media, they also described feeling small and isolated.Interestingly, some pointed directly to their __37__ relationship with commodities（商品）, describing them as an unhealthy but inescapable addiction, including concerns that commodity culture, together with social media, is pushing people into feeling smaller and smaller in a(n) __38__ digital space.With their favorable conditions also come the pressures they feel __39__ previous generations. None said they wanted to "lie down" (tangping), but they noted intense competition both among their peers and form international sources. They were __40__ of running to death, of living shallow lives and reaching early graves.III. Reading ComprehensionsSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Exploring the vast area where psychology and physiology meet, recent studies are continually casting light on an interesting phenomenon: the impact of our mental states on physical health. The concept of a mind-body connection, often viewed with disbelief, is now gaining __41__ through scientific inquiry. __42__, happiness has been found to have a protective effect against common illnesses. This revelation came from a 2003 study where over 300 participants, exposed to a cold virus, exhibited fewer symptoms if they had a generally __43__ outlook on life. These individuals weren't just happier; they were healthier.This link between our psychological state and physical well-being extends beyond __44__ illness. Focusing on the longevity of optimists, research led by Dr. Laura Kubzansky of Harvard has revealed that an optimistic outlook is associated with a lower 'allostatic load' -- the wear and tear on the body from long-term stress. This __45__ burden is thought to contribute to longer lifespans, with the most optimistic among us living significantly longer lives.Another striking area where the mind's influence is __46__ is in the function and length of telomeres -- protective caps at the ends of our chromosomes（染色体）. Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn's pioneering work has shown that individuals under long-term stress have shorter telomeres, which can __47__ earlier cellular aging. On the other hand, positive mental attitudes and practices like meditation appear to __48__ telomere length, suggesting that our mental practices can influence the very aging process of our cells.The __49__ of these findings are broad and significant, particularly in medical treatment and recovery. The placebo（安慰剂）effect, once a mere footnote in clinical trails, is now a central focus in understanding how belief and expectation can bring about real __50__ changes. From reducing pain to improving surgery outcomes, placebos have demonstrated that our belief in a treatment's __51__ can appear as real healing in the body.Recent experiments have explored this by administering 'open-label' placebos -- placebos given with full __52__ that they contain no active ingredients -- to patients. Remarkably, theseplacebos can still lead to improvements in conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, __53__ our perception about the nature of healing.As we look to the future, the developing field of psychoneuroimmunology（心理神经免疫学）is sure to offer even more insights into how our mental landscape affects our physical health. The implications of this could be transformative, as we begin to __54__ psychological wellness into our standard healthcare practices. The ultimate question that emerges is not whether our minds influence our health -- that much is __55__ -- but how we can use this power most effectively for a healthier society.41.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Amid the holiday season's business, it's the unanticipated moments that often stay in the heartthe longest. I remember one such instance, on a winter day, in a crowded store. My role, repetitive and boring, was interrupted by a sight that demanded my attention - and elderly woman threading her way through the crowd, her pace a sharp contrast to the hurried shoppers.Her companion, a younger woman, radiated impatience with each heavy breath of annoyance. The divide between them was palpable, a silent proof to the swift passage of time and the slow dance of age.Moved by a feeling of connection that frequently arises around seniors, I approached to offer help. The older woman's smile was a pause in time, a softening in the day's rhythm. She passed me a slip of paper, on which a classic movie title was hurriedly written - a film she was eager to locate and share.Guiding her along the memory-rich aisles, we quickly located the film. During our short exchange, she vividly recounted her past, her memories lighted up by the silver screen's shimmer -- each film capturing valuable life lessons.As I handed her the DVD, our conversation turned to her companion, her granddaughter, who watched us with confused emotions playing upon her face. "Cherish her," I found myself advising, a gentle request to preserve the moments that would one day become the most treasured of memories.They left the store with the granddaughter's pace now slowed down to match the elder's. In their departure, a sudden understanding passed between us, a reminder that life's true essence is often found in the gentle press of a hand, the warmth of a shared glance, and the preciousness of time spent with those we love. It was a lesson in empathy（共情）, a call to honor the connections that, while seemingly temporary, form the enduring fabric of our human experience.56. Why does the writer approach the elderly woman and her companion?A. The elderly woman looked lost.B. He wanted to sell them a membership.C. They had stayed in the store for too long.D. He was touched by feeling close to the elderly.57. What does the elderly woman's smile represent in the story?A. A break in the flow of time.B. Happiness at finding the film.C. Confusion about where she is.D. A brief connection with the writer.58. What underlying message does the writer convey to the granddaughter?A. The necessity of watching classic films.B. The importance of patience in shopping.C. Advice on selecting movies that old people love.D. The value of treasuring time spent with loved ones.59. What lesson does the writer reflect on at the end of the story?A. Different people have different understanding of human experience.B. Our connection with others is fundamental to human experience.C. Some connections are temporary while others will last long.D. Empathy is the best way to bring families together.(B)The Future of Driving: The Solar-Powered Light-year OnePicture this: driving down the highway, the heater keeping you off the winter chill, without a hint of worry about your car's charge. Welcome to the reality created by the Light-year One, the revolutionary solar-powered vehicle crafted by the visionary Dutch company, Light-year. Born from the talented minds of Solar Team Eindhoven, this vehicle is not just a car -- it's a statement, an innovative step into a sustainable future.The Dawn of Solar MobilityRange Without LimitWorst-case scenario: it's cold outside, and you've got the heat started while raveling at highway speeds. With Light-year One, expect to cover an impressive 400 km before needing a charge. That's the distance from Paris to Amsterdam! In a single journey, you can witness the marvel of engineering that makes "range anxiety" a term of the past.Making Use of the SunThe proof, boasting over 1,000 solar cells, turn daylight into distance. Each solar cell is a proof to Light-year's commitment to efficiency and strength -- capable of charging up to 12km on a sunny day. Imagine gaining an extra 97km per week, just by letting your car bathe in the sun. It's no wonder that in places like Phoenix, the Light-year One can be powered by the sun for the majority of the year.A Design that Speaks Elegance and EfficiencyWhat's Under the Hood?Don't let the smooth lines fool you. The Light-year One's design is a perfect combination of visual appeal and aerodynamic efficiency. Its teardrop shape minimizes drag, ensuring every joule（焦耳）of energy is used to its fullest potential. And speed? This eco-vehicle doesn't shy away from it, boasting a top speed of 160km/h (100 mph).Eco and Wallet FriendlyWe understand that innovation comes at a price. However, the €149,000 tag on the Light-year One is set to decrease as technology advances and production scales up. Light-year's promise is to deliver sustainable luxury that will soon become the new normal.Are you ready to embrace the change? The Light-year One isn't just a car; it's a forerunner of tomorrow. By choosing this path, you're not only adopting a new way of driving -- you're driving change, one sunny mile at a time.60. What is the passage mainly intended to do?A. Introduce and promote a solar-powered vehicle.B. Provide a technical manual for the Light-year One.C. Offer a historical account of solar-powered vehicles.D. Call attention to the technology used by the Light-year One.61. What can be learned about the Light-year One?A. It can move faster than 160km per hour.B. It can travel about 400 km on a single charge.C. It features a built-in solar panel cleaning system.D. It will be sold at a price higher than €149,000 soon.62. Suppose you were a car reviewer, how would you comment on the Light-year One?A. The Light-year One's introduction of solar power has practical challenges.B. The Light-year One presents a novel and efficient way to use electric power.C. The Light-year One's groundbreaking features are overshadowed by its high cost.D. The Light-year one prioritizes style and solar innovation but falls short in practicality.(C)This year, University College London made Semir Zeki the world's first professor ofneuro-aesthetics（神经美学）. In recent decades, he has used brain imaging techniques to pioneer the modern study of visual perception, as Nobel prize winner Eric Kandel writes on the jacket of Splendors and Miseries of the Brain, and his earliest books include an impressive study of art written (in French) with the painter Balthus. His new book aims to apply the neuroscience （神经科学）of creativity to artists, writers and composers such as Michelangelo, Dante and Wagner, and so it arouses high expectations. Unfortunately, the result is disappointing.Consider his treatment of Cezanne, a painter celebrated for subtle colouring of natural scenes. Near the beginning of the book, Zeki quotes Cezanne as saying: "Colour has a logic and the artist must always obey that logic, never the logic of the brain." Zeki disagrees: "There is, in fact, no logic to colour except the logic of the brain." Yet much later, in an admiring chapter on Cezanne, he remarks: "Though knowing nothing about the visual brain, Cezanne was nevertheless remarkably insightful into its workings." How, then, does Cezanne's understanding of visual perception differ from Zeki's? If Cezanne was wrong, why were his insights fruitful? The book never resolves this apparent contradiction.Zeki supports the idea that our perception of colors is not independent but rather essentially linked to how our brains interpret them. For example, the brain preserves our perception of colours regardless of lighting conditions, by cleverly keeping constant the proportion of red, green and blue light reflected from an object and from its surroundings. "A green surface, for example, remains green whether viewed at dawn, at dunk, or at noon on a cloudy or sunny day." Zeki writes. Leaves on trees do not appear to change colour with changes in weather. Indeed, he claims "there are no colours but constant colours."Surely, the truth is more complex. A leaf certainly looks green to us whether in bright sun or shadow -- but it is not the same green. The apples in Cezanne's 1873 painting Green Apples (below) contain at least half a dozen identifiable shades of green. Moreover, the greens change appearance under natural and artificial light. Anyone who has tried to choose a paint colour from a house decorator's colour chart knows how sensitive the brain's perception of colour is to light and shadow. What looked right on the chart often looks wrong on the wall.For all Zeki's evident scientific expertise expertise and love of the arts, he does not really succeed in using each to illuminate the other.63. What does the writer imply about Zeki's approach to the study of neuroaesthetics and art?A. Zeki focuses primarily on the technical aspects of art.B. Zeki's background limits his understanding of art in a scientific way.C. Zeki's work is praised for bridging the gap between neuroscience and art.D. Zeki's applies traditional artistic techniques to his neuroscience research.64. How can Zeki's handling of the contradiction regarding Cezanne's insights be inter-prated?A. As an innovative attempt to challenge traditional art criticism.B. As evidence of Zeki's deep understanding of Cezanne's work.C. As reflection of Zeki's preference for modern over classical art.D. As an oversight that highlights a gap in Zeki's argumentation skills.65. What is the writer suggesting about the complexity of color perception as discussed by Zeki?A. Zeki's views are too complex for a general audience.B. Zeki oversimplifies how human beings perceive colors.C. Zeki's research on color perception is irrelevant to the study of art.D. Zeki has discovered the definitive explanation for color perception.66. What can be inferred about the writer's perspective on the potential of neuroscience to enhance our understanding of art?A. The writer is convinced neuroscience has no place in the study of art.B. The writer thinks neuroscience should replace traditional methods of art analysis.C. The writer appreciates integrating neuroscience and art but finds Zeki's work shallow.D. The writer believes Zeki's work has successfully unified the fields of neuroscience and art.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. The ritual of listening to her albums became my comfort, especially after my father passed away.B. This music has made me new friends, told me new stories, brought back things I thought I'd lost a long time ago.C. It is the untold stories of countless souls who, through melody and rhythm, found a way to express what words alone could not.D. But music didn't really reach me until we played a Billie Holiday record on our old player.E. A musician is born and then made.F. I write not just to entertain.Billie Holiday Sang to MeMy early Saturday mornings were reserved for learning music at the local music academy. We, the students, were little musicians, ears and hearts open to the raw, emotional teachings of the great composers. _____67_____Billie's voice was a gateway to a deeper understanding of human emotion. Her soulful tunes would stay in the air of our living room, teaching me more about life than any textbook could. Her songs spoke of a world that was far from fair or kind, yet she sang with a strength that seemed to rise above the pain._____68_____ Her voice filled the silence of his absence. The bluesy undertones and heartfelt words found in songs like "Strange Fruit" and "God Bless the Child" were my companions through the winding path of grief and healing.I grew to see music as an extension of the self, a form of narrative that could capture the essence of who we are, who we were, and who we hope to be. Each chord and lyric（和弦和歌词）became a mirror, reflecting parts of my identity I was still exploring, parts of my heritage thatwere woven into the fabric of American's complex musical history.Years later, as I started my own journey in music, I found myself at the intersection ofartistry and advocacy, inspired by the lessons Billie Holiday's music taught me. Her commitmentto expressing her truth through her music, even in the face of hardship, became the guiding principle in my career.In my own compositions, I strive to capture that same honesty and raw emotion._____69_____ My purpose is also to communicate -- to build connections with listeners and to continue the dialogue that artists like Billie Holiday started with their groundbreaking work.Music, I've learned, is not merely sound arranged in pleasant orders. It is history. It is emotion. _____70_____ Billie's voice continues to remind me that the real power of music lies in its ability to touch the soul, to heal, and to inspire a future where everyone's story can be heard.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71. All Things Must PassAs social currents shift, we witness the come and go of trends that once seemed permanent. Reflect on the evolving journey of facial hair styles -- a measure of fashion that swings from the presence of lush beards（浓密的胡须）to the simplicity of smooth shaves. A study once suggested that this swing might be less about fashion and more about biology and social dynamics.The theory goes that when a particular style becomes too common, it loses its uniqueness, and thus, its appeal. This pattern, termed 'Negative Frequency-Dependent Selection' (NFDS), suggests that rarity might give an advantage. For instance, in a sea of beards, the clean-shaven face becomes a sign of difference, an outlier that draws the eye.Yet, trends are more than mere biology; they are the whispers of a society speaking to itself about identity, resistance, and change. This is observed in the rise and fall of beards, a trend that grew as a response to an ever-changing world, where men pursued a re-connection with a raw, distinctive identity. It served as both a nod to by-gone eras and potentially a critique ofcon-termporary times.But as with all trends, saturation（饱和）leads to a tipping point. The uncommon becomes common, and society looks to the horizon for the next distinctive wave. The shift is inevitable, driven by an undercurrent of desire for something new.The phenomenon extends beyond facial hair to all manner of trends, from the clothes we wear to the devices we use. We chase the novel, the rare, the statement-making -- until, in our pursuit, we find it ordinary. And so, the cycle continues, driven by the ceaseless desire for differentiation and the inescapable pull of uniformity.As far as style is concerned, nothing is permanent. Today's symbol of distinction becomes tomorrow's footnote in the records of trend history. All that remains constant is change, and the certainty that whatever is considered the height of popularity now will inevitably become a part of history, paving the way for the fresh forerunners of the future.V.

华南师大附中2024届高三综合测试(二)英语
华南师大附中2024届高三综合测试(二)英语Here is the English essay based on the title you provided, with the text content exceeding 600 words:The Significance of Lifelong Learning in the 21st Century Education has always played a vital role in shaping the future of individuals and societies. In the ever-evolving landscape of the 21st century, the importance of lifelong learning has become increasingly apparent. As the world becomes more interconnected and technology-driven, the ability to adapt and continuously acquire new knowledge and skills has become a crucial asset for personal and professional success.One of the primary reasons why lifelong learning is essential is the rapid pace of change in the modern workplace. The skills and knowledge that were once considered valuable may quickly become obsolete as new technologies and industries emerge. Employees who are committed to lifelong learning are better equipped to navigate these changes and remain competitive in the job market. By continuously updating their skills and staying informed about industry trends, they can adapt to new challenges and seize emerging opportunities.Moreover, lifelong learning is not just about professional development; it is also crucial for personal growth and fulfillment. As individuals navigate the complexities of modern life, the ability to learn and grow can help them develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and the world around them. Whether it's exploring a new hobby, delving into a subject of personal interest, or engaging in self-reflection, lifelong learning can foster a sense of curiosity, creativity, and self-awareness.In addition to its individual benefits, lifelong learning also has significant societal implications. As the world faces complex global challenges, such as climate change, healthcare crises, and social inequalities, the ability to collaborate, problem-solve, and generate innovative solutions becomes increasingly crucial. Individuals who are committed to lifelong learning are more likely to possess the critical thinking skills, adaptability, and openness to diverse perspectives necessary to address these challenges effectively.Furthermore, lifelong learning can contribute to the overall well-being and resilience of communities. When individuals engage in continuous learning, they not only expand their own knowledge and skills but also share their insights and experiences with others. This exchange of ideas and perspectives can foster social cohesion, promote cultural understanding, and inspire collective problem-solving efforts.However, the pursuit of lifelong learning is not without its challenges. In an era of information overload and competing demands on our time, it can be challenging to carve out dedicated learning opportunities. Additionally, access to quality educational resources and support systems may vary across different socioeconomic and geographic contexts, creating potential barriers to lifelong learning.To address these challenges, educational institutions, employers, and policymakers must work collaboratively to create a culture that values and supports lifelong learning. This may involve offering flexible and accessible learning options, providing financial and logistical support for ongoing education, and fostering a mindset of continuous growth and improvement within both individual and organizational settings.In conclusion, the significance of lifelong learning in the 21st century cannot be overstated. As the world continues to evolve at a rapid pace, the ability to adapt, learn, and grow will be a key determinant of personal and collective success. By embracing lifelong learning, individuals can unlock new opportunities, contribute to the betterment of their communities, and ultimately shape a more vibrant and resilient future for all.。
