By fourth grade, I stood taller than my classmates — and even my teacher, Miss Liston. Unfortunately, my height far outpaced both my coordination (协调性) and academic skills. I became the class clown, struggling with arithmetic, spelling, and reading. Recess (课间休息) was worse: while peers raced through games and sports, I stumbled over my own feet — Clumsy was my middle name.
Each afternoon, Miss Liston concluded the day by reading to the class for fifteen minutes. I’d sigh with relief at the end of another embarrassing day, losing myself in her voice and the story, usually a chapter from a novel. If I could read with ease I could find my way to happier places and times. Miss Liston apparently noticed my absorbed attention. I don’t remember how she took me under her wing but by the time I moved on to fifth grade I was reading at an eighth-grade level. My self-image, self-esteem, and life path were changed forever.
In my junior year of college, I dropped out. I took a job as a newspaper reporter, only to discover that while I had a desire to be a journalist, I lacked both the education and talent to succeed. Five years of struggling to craft a single good sentence were enough — I quit writing. But I couldn’t survive on hunger or good looks, so I trained as a registered nurse.
One evening, an ambulance delivered an elderly woman who’d suffered a stroke. As I approached, the medical assistant reported: “Seventy-eight-year-old Agnes Liston, found at home by neighbors...” I recognized Miss Liston’s slackened face. I smiled softly, “Hello, Miss Liston. It’s Tommy Schwarz. Do you remember me ” She stared, her facial muscles twitching faintly.
I learned she’d outlived her family and friends; no one visited during her hospitalization. For three days, I sat by her bedside, reading aloud. She couldn’t communicate, but her calm demeanor (举止) suggested comfort. I felt privileged to give back in a direct and personal way to someone who had loved and helped me so much.
24. What can be inferred about the author in fourth grade
A. He had a sense of being out of place. B. He didn’t get along well with others.
C. He preferred to act as a funny clown. D. He was proud of his physical advantage.
25. How did Miss Liston influence the author’s life
A. She inspired his career in nursing. B. She unlocked his potential for reading.
C. She taught him to embrace his uniqueness. D. She helped him resolve family conflicts.
26. Why did the author abandon his career as a journalist
A. He lost interest in current events. B. He was offered a better-paying job.
C. He couldn’t handle the work pressure. D. He failed to develop essential writing skills.
27. What made reading to Miss Liston a meaningful experience for the author
A. It reminded him of the joy of reading. B. It helped him reconnect with his childhood.
C. It gave him a chance to repay her kindness. D. It allowed him to showcase his nursing skills.
C
From an airplane, cars moving slowly down highways look like ants. But unlike cars, ants somehow avoid the trouble of stop-and-go traffic — a mystery researchers are studying to improve self-driving vehicle technology.
Traffic flow becomes unstable as the number of vehicles increases. At 15 vehicles per mile per lane, a single driver tapping the brakes can cause a lasting wave of traffic jams that spreads backward for miles. “This is a phase transition,” explains Katsuhiro Nishinari, a traffic researcher — similar to water freezing into ice, where a small change (like a temperature drop) causes a dramatic shift in state (from liquid to solid).
Nishinari’s earlier research revealed that ants searching for food keep smooth flow even when there are very large numbers of them. Their secret Recent studies tracking desert ants show they travel in well-organized groups of 3 — 20 individuals, moving at nearly constant speeds with consistent spacing between one another — about three body lengths apart. Crucially, they never speed up to overtake slower-moving peers, which prevents the “sudden slowdowns” that jam human traffic.
Human drivers, by contrast, prioritize personal speed over collective efficiency, which is why jams occur. “We maximize individual interests, leading to bad jams,” notes Nicola Pugno, an engineer studying the behavior of groups. Self-driving cars, however, could be programmed to cooperate: sharing real-time data with nearby vehicles to maintain steady speeds and distances, or avoiding overtaking altogether. This vehicle network would be analogous to ants on a trail, which use chemical smells to organize their movements to coordinate behavior while interacting with one another.
However, ants have advantages cars can’t match. They can widen their trails when needed, while drivers are confined to fixed highway lanes. Moreover, ants never crash; they simply crawl over one another when paths cross.
Still, today’s drivers can learn from ants: Nishinari advises avoiding following too closely. Leaving extra space between cars allows drivers to absorb sudden braking in heavy traffic, preventing the spread of traffic jams. “Just maintaining a safe distance,” he says, “can keep traffic flowing smoothly even when there are large numbers of cars.”
28. What does “phase transition” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The process of water turning into ice.
B. A sudden shift from smooth traffic to jams.
C. Vehicles moving freely at their own preferred speeds.
D. A driver’s decision to tap the brakes suddenly.
29. How do ants prevent traffic jams
A. They follow a leader that sets the speed.
B. They adjust their speed based on group size.
C. They maintain steady speeds and space in groups.
D. They create multiple alternative trails to avoid overcrowding.
30. What does the underlined word “analogous” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Similar. B. Superior. C. Unrelated. D. Contradictory.
31. What is Nishinari’s advice to drivers
A. Avoiding sudden braking in heavy traffic. B. Keeping a safe distance from other cars.
C. Following the speed of self-driving vehicles. D. Using alternative routes during rush hours.
D
Insect-scale robots—small enough to fit in the palm of your hand-can access tight spaces larger robots can’t, such as the ruins of collapsed buildings after earthquakes or the narrow tunnels of industrial machinery. However, they find it hard to move around tall obstacles or sloped surfaces. Flying robots could avoid these problems, but their high energy consumption limits their range—most can only operate for 10-15 minutes before needing to be recharged.
To combine the best of both movement modes, MIT researchers developed a hopping robot that brings together the flexibility of ground robots and the obstacle-clearing ability of flying ones. Smaller than a human thumb and lighter than a paperclip (just 0.6 grams), it features a springy, elastic(有弹性的) leg to provide the power to move, along with four wings that move up and down. While flying robots of similar size consume about 1 watt of power, this hopping robot uses just 0.4 watts—60% less energy—enabling missions lasting up to 40 minutes.
The robot’s elastic leg is key to its efficiency: when it strikes the ground, the spring compresses(压缩), turning its downward movement into saved energy, then releases it as upward thrust to launch the robot 20 centimeters into the air. As it rebounds, the moving wings keep its position steady, making sure it lands straight and directing its next jump toward a target.
A fast-response control system further enhances its performance: an outside sensor that tracks movement sends real-time position information to a computer program, which adjusts the wing angles mid-air to correct course. This allows the robot to adapt to diverse surfaces.
Tests show it moves across grass, ice, wet glass, and uneven soil with ease, even hopping on moving, tilted surfaces by adjusting wing power to make up for the slopes. Its small size and light weight make it highly elastic: it survives collisions, performs 360-degree acrobatic flips, and can land safely on airborne drones—opening possibilities for cooperative search-and-rescue tasks.
Next, researchers aim to equip it with on-board batteries, sensors, and microprocessors to enable fully autonomous operation beyond the lab.
32. What is a key advantage of the hopping robot
A. Carrying heavy loads like larger robots.
B. Using less energy than flying robots.
C. Moving faster than insect-scale crawling robots.
D. Operating autonomously in complex environments.
33. Why is the robot equipped with an elastic leg
A. To ensure the direction of the jumping.
B. To keep position steady when jumping.
C. To achieve energy transfer during jumps.
D. To maintain balance on sloped surfaces.
34. What does Paragraph 5 mainly illustrate about the robot
A. Its adaptability to various conditions. B. Its potential for commercialization.
C. Its limitations in real-world use. D. Its complex control system.
35. What’s the best title of the text
A. Insect-Scale Robots: A New Era of Search-and-Rescue
B. Hopping Robots Outperform Flying Robots in Efficiency
C. MIT’s Tiny Hopping Robot: Small Size, Big Capabilities
D. From Lab to Field: Autonomous Robots Take a Leap

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Feeling overwhelmed You’re not alone. Between endless meetings, housework, and scrolling through social media, stress accumulates quickly. ____36____ It disrupts sleep, raises heart rates, and weakens immune systems. The good news is: even small and simple actions can help your body reset. Here are four easy ways, supported by science, to try right now.
Take five deep breaths
Deep breathing lowers blood pressure, slows heart rates, and boosts heart rate variability — a key marker of resilience (恢复力).____37____In fact, controlled breathing is linked to better mood and memory. Short on time Try this: breathe in for six seconds, then breathe out for six. Keep a steady pace to calm your mind.
Hug it out or hold a hand
____38____A quick hug or gentle touch can help your brain release a chemical that makes you feel safe and relaxed. One study found couples who hugged for 20 seconds before a stressful task had lower heart rates and blood pressure than those who didn’t.
Step outside for sunlight and fresh air
A few minutes in natural light helps reset your body clock, supports vitamin D production, and improves heart rate variability. Time spent in green spaces brings even more benefits, for example, boosting mood. No park nearby ____39____
Take a quick 5-minute walk
Walking isn’t just good for physical health.____40____This simple movement boosts blood flow to the part of the brain that helps you focus and solve problems. It also activates a network linked to creativity, making it a double win for clearing your mind.
A. Stress doesn’t just affect your mood, though.
B. It’s also a proven way to sharpen your thinking.
C. Even sitting on the front steps in the sun counts.
D. It’s a popular method to boost overall well-being.

Jake sat at the workbench in the school’s tech room adjusting the sensors on his robot. The big city robotics contest was just a month away. He was determined to win first prize—a 3D printer—and get his name on the school’s honor wall. Every day after school, he stayed late to work on it.
“Your robot’s getting really good at moving around obstacles,” said Maya, his classmate and friend. She was building a mechanical arm at the bench next to him—and she was also his toughest competition. “But I heard Liam from Grade 8 is joining. His parents got him a coach, and his robot can handle all kinds of obstacles.”
Liam came second last year, and his family spent lots of money on his robot stuff. “My robot runs on a program I wrote myself,” Jake said, trying to sound confident. But inside, he felt uneasy. His robot’s parts were old, bought with his saved-up pocket money, and couldn’t compare to the latest equipment.
Over the next two weeks, Jake and Maya were always the last to leave the tech room. Jake’s robot steadily improved, navigating the practice course more smoothly each day. Maya’s robotic arm could pick up small balls and drop them into boxes with perfect precision. But then, just a week before the contest, Jake’s robot shut down unexpectedly. The screen flashed with error messages.
Jake tried extra parts, but the robot still didn’t work. “The controller is damaged. I can’t fix it in time,” he said sadly, setting his tools down in defeat.
The next morning, Maya handed him a small, shiny part in a plastic bag. “This is a spare controller my dad gave me,” she said. “It’ll work with your robot. I reprogrammed my arm and don’t need it anymore.” Jake looked up, surprised. “But your arm...” Maya smiled. “Winning is great, but building robots together is even better, right ” Jake installed the new part. His robot came back to life, ready for the contest once more.

My Beloved Hometown
I hold a deep love for my hometown, a small town in southeastern China. It’s where my heart always belongs.
What I cherish most is its natural beauty. A crystal-clear river winds through the town, with old stone bridges spanning over it. Along the banks, willows sway gently, and in spring, peach blossoms turn the hills into a sea of pink. I often wandered there as a kid, chasing dogs and cats and listening to birds sing.
This land carries all my sweet memories. I’m proud to call it home — it’s the warmest corner in my heart.
67. Finally, the long-awaited contest day arrived. Jake’s robot zipped smoothly around chairs and cones, never hitting a thing. Maya’s arm picked up small blocks one by one, dropping them gently into the right boxes. Liam’s robot spotted all obstacles but slowed down halfway and got stuck in the corner at the end. As the judges read the results, Jake’s heart raced. “First place: Jake’s robot!” the principal announced. Jake felt very proud, and then turned to Maya. “I couldn’t have done this without her—she gave me the part I needed.” Everyone clapped.
Jake’s face lit up as the principal handed him the 3D printer. After thanking everyone, he told the students, “I’m putting this 3D printer in the tech lab for everyone to use. We can make parts together.” Maya nodded. “Yes! Next year, we’ll build even better robots.” Later, while watching Maya teaching younger students to use the 3D printer, Jake realized—winning was nice, but working together to build robots was better. Like his robot and her arm, they were good on their own, but helping each other made everything better.
