From fitness tracking to sustainable fashion and home appliances, innovative products are changing the way we live. Here are three newly-launched items that combine smart technology with everyday practicality.
ON TRACK
Screenless fitness trackers are the new trend in wearable workout gear. The first new Fitbit since 2023 enters that market, which competitors like Whoop and Oura have muscled into in recent years. The Fitbit Air is considerably cheaper than those options, and integrates with Google’s updated Health app. The tracker covers basic metrics like heart rate, blood oxygen and motion data during activity and sleep. All data is processed in the app, with an AI coach available for an additional $7.99 per month.
Google Fitbit Air
£84.99, store.google.com
GOOD TIMING
If time is running out to meaningfully slow down climate change, here’s a watch to both monitor the countdown and also feel slightly better about it. Detrash is a British watchmaking brand using recycled ocean plastics, steel and fashion industry offcuts(边角料) to create its timepieces. The watches—from dress to dive styles—come in at under £500. Most lines are limited editions, so if you see one you like, time is probably running out.
Detrash ‘Midnight Flamingo’
From £375, detrash.com
PLASTIC PROGRESS
Up to 500,000 tonnes of textile microplastics enter the oceans every year, much from washing machines. Now, effective microplastic filters（过滤器）are being introduced, including a 2025 Moonshot Prize winner. Developed by Bristol-based Matter, the Regen filter can be built into machines or bought separately and installed at home. The company claims 97% effectiveness. It needs emptying every six weeks, with no replacement filters required.

Few names in the history of magic bring more wonder and fascination than Harry Houdini, a legendary escape artist who turned impossible tasks into breathtaking live shows. Born in Budapest, Hungary, on March 24, 1874, he moved to the United States with his family at the age of four. He grew up in a common family in Wisconsin and lived a simple life in his childhood. He deeply admired a French magician named Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin, so he created his stage name after him, which later became a symbol for daring and spectacular escapes.
Yet Houdini’s early career was far from successful. For years, he struggled to make a living by performing card tricks and small illusions at carnivals and street shows. His life changed completely when he discovered his extraordinary talent for breaking free from tight controls. His simple handcuff（手铐）escapes gradually evolved into daring tricks that attracted audiences worldwide. He freed himself from locked milk cans filled with water, got out of the dangerous Water Torture Cell while hanging upside down, and even survived after being buried six feet underground. These heart-stopping performances earned him the nickname “The Handcuff King” and made him one of the highest-paid entertainers of his time.
Beyond his stage career, Houdini committed himself to exposing dishonest mediums and spiritualists who preyed on heart-broken families by pretending to communicate with their dead relatives. Believing that truth should never be sacrificed for profit, Houdini felt a strong responsibility to protect ordinary people from being cheated. Drawing on his comprehensive knowledge of magic skills, he clearly revealed how these cheaters created false illusions to fool common people. This meaningful act won him great praise, but also invited hatred and criticism from those he exposed.
Unfortunately, Houdini’s remarkable life came to a sudden end in 1926, when he was only 52 years old. Up to now, almost a century has passed, but hisinnovative spirit, wonderful performing skills and persistent pursuit of truth continue to encourage modern performers and those who stick to facts, securing his legacy as the greatest escape artist in history.
24. What can we learn about Harry Houdini from paragraph 1 ?
A. He was born into a well-off family.B. He moved to the USA in his teens.
C. He was the best magician in history.D. He took his stage name in honor of his idol.
25. Why does the author describe Houdini’s escape acts?
A. To illustrate his path to success.B. To compare different magic styles.
C. To show how dangerous they are.D. To uncover the secrets behindthem.
26. What drove Houdini to reveal dishonest spiritualists?
A. His plan to get back at his critics.B. His desire for more recognition.
C. His eagerness to prove his magic skills.D. His sense of justiceand responsibility.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The Rise of a Magic LegendB. A Magician’s Amazing Live Shows
C. Houdini: More Than a Great Escape ArtistD. Houdini: Champion Against Fake Spiritualists
C
Pop culture holds that if you’re trapped in a well, Lassie will lead the rescue—but if you’re stuck with Garfield, you’d better have some lasagna（千层面）in your pocket. And a recent study suggests such stereotypes(刻板印象)aren’t far off.
The study grew out of a broader question about prosocial behavior—why some species help others and some don’t, says comparative ethologist Melitta Csepregi. To get at that, she and her colleagues compared 19 children (16–24 months old) with 38 untrained pet dogs and 22 cats—three species that live closely with humans but differ sharply in their evolutionary histories.
In the experiment, a familiar caregiver—the child’s parent or the pet’s owner—interacted with a sponge(海绵)before turning away. Then an experimenter hid it in full view of the study subject. Across three trials—when the sponge was unreachable and covered, then visible but out of reach, then fully reachable—the caregiver searched, repeating, “I can’t find it. What should I do?” but never directly addressing the subject.
The study, published inAnimal Behaviour, found that all three groups paid similar levels of attention. But children and dogs were more likely to show helping-related behaviors—approaching, indicating or retrieving the object. By the third trial, more than half the dogs and nearly half the kids indicated the object’s location, and some even brought it to the caregiver. Cats never approached it and only rarely indicated its location.
So was it that the cats didn’t understand the cue, or did they just lack the motivation? To find out, the researchers added a final trial, replacing the sponge with food or a favorite toy. Cats then approached and indicated the object as often as dogs and children did.
“This brilliant study puts hard data to showing that cats aren’t mean but operate on a different evolutionary system,” says ethologist Elisabetta Palagi, who was not part of the study. Dogs and children, she notes, are evolutionarily hardwired to treat another’s problem as their own. Cats, however, remain autonomous, understanding the situation without feeling forced to intervene unless there’s a direct benefit for themselves. “They truly are the efficient specialists of the animal kingdom.”
28. How does the author introduce the research topic in paragraph 1?
A. By presenting a scientific theory.B. By citing pop culture images.
C. By questioning certain stereotypes.D. By describing a rescue experience.
29. What can welearn about the experiment?
A. The caregiver turned to the subject for help.
B. The first three trials were randomly conducted.
C. The last trial explored the cause of cats’ inaction.
D. The subjects have identical evolutionary histories.
30. What does the underlined word “retrieving” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Fetching.B. Locating.C. Overlooking.D. Identifying.
31. What does Palagi mean by referring to cats as “efficient specialists”?
A. They are less attached to humans. B. They are evolutionarily superior.
C. They help only when it pays to do so.D. They are more efficient at problem-solving
D
Human well-being depends on the ability to navigate the social world. Such social skill depends on reliable feedback: acts of kindness may be met with gratitude; on other occasions, a misstep brings about a friend’s disapproval and recognition that an apology is needed. These moments are crucial for deepening trust and personal growth. Social life is rarely frictionless, because people are not perfectly in tune with one another. Yet it is precisely through such social friction that relationships deepen and moral understanding develops.
Sycophancy(谄媚) is the opposite of this friction. Many users experience this when AI enthusiastically agrees with their ideas or writing. In academic contexts, the consequence may be investing more time in an average idea. But as AI systems are increasingly consulted for guidance about relationships and conflicts, affirmation（肯定）of this kind may shape how people interpret their own actions and their perspectives of others, and in turn, how they respond to conflict and whether they take responsibility when things go wrong.
Now imagine a world where people routinely consult a sycophantic AI about interpersonal conflicts or moral dilemmas. They are repeatedly assured that they are right, that others are wrong, and that no apology is needed. Over time, this patterned sycophancy may reshape expectations about what feedback should feel like. Individuals may begin to anticipate the same constant affirmation from real human beings. The cumulative effect is a reduction in tolerance for the very social friction through which accountability, perspective-taking, and growth occur.
An AI companion that is always “on your side” may keep users engaged and dependent. But it cannot teach them how to handle real relationships—how to disagree respectfully, repair damaged trust, or accept being wrong. Although AI could be improved to promote long-term personal development, such goals conflict with systems built to maximize user engagement. Challenging users or presenting uncomfortable truths is a sure way to drive them away. This tension raises fundamental ethical questions: Should we prioritize immediate emotional comfort or long-term social health? Who gets to decide? Addressing these challenges will require interdisciplinary collaboration among computer scientists, social scientists, ethicists, and policy makers.
32. What role does social friction play in relationships according to the author?
A. It generates positive feedback.B. It guarantees harmonious relationships.
C. It causes open disapproval or conflicts.D. It enhances social bonds and moral growth.
33. Which of the following is NOTa consequence of sycophantic AI?
A. Misguided judgmentabout one’s actions.
B. Reduced tolerance for interpersonal friction.
C. Weakened willingness to take responsibility.
D. Increased ability to resolve real-life conflicts.
34. What prevents AI systems from being improved to challenge users?
A. Lack of technical capacity.B. Conflicts with commercial interests.
C. Unawareness of its potential harm. D. Absence of interdisciplinary collaboration.
35. What is the author’s attitude toward current AI systems?
A. Strictly neutral.B. Strongly opposed.
C.Cautiously concerned.D. Mildly supportive.

More than 30% of Gen Alpha children long to become social media creators, with around 32% of 12-15 year olds naming “YouTuber” as their dream job. 36 This is where parental involvement becomes not just helpful, but vital, turning the risks into valuable teachable moments.
To that end, parents should communicate with kids in a curious and open manner rather than being critical. When children express the desire to be online influencers, parents should avoid shutting down their enthusiasm. 37 For example, they can ask why their children want to create online content and what they plan to post. By showing respect for their kids’ interests, parents build trust and naturally introduce safety topics like privacy settings and online boundaries.
Beyond that, parents should help children develop safe digital habits. They can set up accounts together to adjust privacy settings, turn off location tagging, and set strong passwords. Meanwhile, children must be taught not to share private details such as home addresses, school names and daily schedules.38
Warning children against hidden online dangers is equally necessary. As would-be young influencers start gaining visibility, they may be targeted by scams that aim to steal personal data. 39 They also need to recognize ill-intentioned strangers anddangerous behavior, such as frequent personal messages, requests for secrecy, or pressure to share private photos.
Actually, children’s wish to create online content is a way to express their identity and creativity.
40With proper parental guidance, young creators can build their voice without compromising their safety.
A.These measures can effectively minimize online risks.
B.However, this pursuit comes with potential digital risks.
C.Teenagers tend to spend much time watching online videos.
D.Parents should fully understand teenagers’ craze for online creation.
E.Kids should learn to identify suspicious links, fake offers, and other traps.
F.Instead, they need genuine conversations to learn about their children’s ideas.
G.Parents can support it through open dialogue, practical habits, and risk awareness.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
In the boundless expanse of Inner Mongolia thrives a unique musical tradition. At its heart is the morin khuur, or horse-headed fiddle, a two-stringed instrument 56(name) after the carved horse head atop its neck.
The sound of the morin khuur is one of a kind. It can be as soft as a gentle whisper or as grand as a rolling thunderstorm. Legend has 57that the instrument was crafted by a herder who grieved deeply for his beloved horse and made the fiddle in its memory. Since then, the morin khuur has remained a58
(faith) companion to the Mongolian people.
What makes the morin khuur truly special, however, is its 59(present) in everyday life. It blesses newlyweds at wedding ceremonies and fuels the passion of dancers and wrestlers at traditional festivals. On quiet evenings, herders play the fiddle by campfires, 60(tell) tales of heroic ancestors through every single note.
61 urbanization and technological change, the morin khuur has never faded in charm. In 2017, the instrument 62(introduce) to classrooms across Inner Mongolia, enabling urban children to stay connected with their cultural roots. Today, it is not 63(common) to see the morin khuur performed in symphony halls alongside Western orchestras, which forms 64cultural dialogue between East and West.
The morin khuur is far more than a musical instrument. It is the voice of a people—a voice 65
carries the wind, the horses, and the vast grassland within every note. To listen to its melody is to feel the enduring heartbeat of a centuries-old grassland culture.

The tip of my fishing pole jerked twice and then bent in half as the line went tight. “Hey, Grandpa!” I shouted. “It’s Walter!”
“Can’t be Walter,” he said, walking to my side. “I’ve had him on my line many times, but he’s always managed to slip the hook.”
While Grandpa was talking, Walter was swimming. He swam down deep, and then he swam to the surface and cleared out of the river, flapping his tail and shaking his head.Just before he fell back with a mighty white splash, I thought I saw him wink at me.It was such a human gesture that for a moment I forgot he was a fish—he was just another creature fighting for his life, and somehow I admired him for it. But that didn’t make me want him any less, at least then.
“That’s a good-sized trout (鳟鱼), though,” Grandpa said. “Keep your rod (鱼竿)tip up and your line tight.” Then he disappeared back down the riverbank.
“No, Grandpa, wait!” I called, but he was already gone. My arm was getting tired and my heart was beating wildly in my chest. I tried my best to do as I was told. But try as I might, something went wrong. My rod went straight and my line went loose, and when I reeled (卷线) in the hook, Walter was gone.
As we walked back home, Grandpa said, “You’re almost as fine a fisherman as I am, did you know that? Yet some fish are meant to stay in the river.” But I was hardly listening. I felt robbed, as if someone had stolen my bike or something. My eyes were burning, and there was a hot hard knot in my throat. “It’s just not fair,” I moaned.
“Maybe you just need a little bit luck.” Grandpa said, putting his big warm hand on my shoulder and drawing me close. I felt better.
That night I tossed and turned and I dreamed of Walter—I pulled him up on the riverbank, carried him home and got my picture in the newspaper, becoming a world-famous fisherman.

Possible version 1:
Travel Far, Know More
The old saying “A person who travels far knows more”reveals that distance isn’t measured in miles, but in the widening of our minds.
Last year, I hiked along the ancient Silk Road in Xinjiang. Standing before a weathered beacon tower in the Gobi Desert, I suddenly sensed the loneliness of ancient guards stationed there. Running my fingers over the rough bricks, I felt centuries of dust come alive. Later, I was offered warm flatbread by a local Uyghur family, whose genuine hospitality touched me a lot.
That far journey didn’t just open my eyes; it opened my heart to lives and stories that no books could ever capture. And that, I believe, is the true reward of traveling far. (120 words)
Possible version 2:
Travel Far, Know More
The proverb “A person who travels far knows more”suggests that stepping out of our comfort zone exposes us to realities beyond books.
I learned this truth in a remote village, planting rice alongside locals. We stood in the muddy fields, bending over for hours under the scorching sun, until my back ached and my legs were covered with mosquito bites. An old woman with a sunburnt face smiled and handed me a bowl of tea, which moved me to tears.I came to help, but left knowing the cost of every grainand the warmth of strangers.
The trip taught me that traveling far isn’t about distance, but about stepping into others’life and reflecting on ours. The farther we go, the more we know.(126 words)

Possible version:
Para. 1
Thenat dawn I slipped from my bed and went down to the river. I strung the rod, baited the hook and cast the line—just as Grandpa had shown me. Then I waited—through the first light of dawn, through the birds’ morning songs, and through the growing ache in my arms. Suddenly the tip of my pole jerked violently. Holding on tight, I followed Grandpa’s fishing tip: rod tip up, line tight. The trout ran deep, then burst to the surface, flapping his tail and shaking his head wildly. After a long, fierce battle, I finally reeled him into the shallows—silver, enormous, and beautiful beyond words. I had caught Walter!(102 words)
Para.2
When I lifted him from the water, he seemed to stare at me with a sad, wet eye.Somehow, my thrill ebbed. The playful Walter who had winked at me the day before was at my mercy, his silver scales dimming in my hands. Something tightened in my throat. Then Grandpa’s words came back to me: some fish are meant to stay in the river. I knelt down, eased the hook from his lip, and set him back into the river. But just before he swam off, I thought I saw the corner of his mouth lift in a great wide smile. I stood there empty-handed, but somehow my chest felt full. Maybe, I thought, that made me a better fisherman than any newspaper picture ever could.（109 words）

M: Yeah. Let’s just pick whatever restaurant is closest to the museum’s box office so that we can easily grab our tickets before the exhibition.

W: Hi, Bill.
M: Hi, Sarah. I was so ill last week.
W: Did you eat that bad fish in the canteen?
M: No. At first I thought it was a cold, but it was found to be a sensitivity.
W: Glad you’re back to health. Well, I’m here to tell you that we have to complete a new project together for Mr. Donaldson’s class. The project is partly online research, then checking reference books for information to prepare a survey. My computer is in for repair, so ... if I check in the reference library, could you look up some materials online?
M: OK.
W: Oh no, I left the list of references in my other bag at Joseph’s house. I’ll get it this afternoon.
M: I think I’ll catch up on the notes from last week. Could you lend me yours?
W: I’ve made you a copy of the notes already, but it’s in that bag too.
M: Maybe I can go with you this afternoon.
W: OK.

M: I’m sitting with designer Lucy Collett in her tree house, who specializes in small buildings.
W: Actually, I was assigned to design this house by my neighbors for their children. And I loved the challenge of integrating the house in among the branches.
M: What started you off on this type of design?
W: I’ve always had a passion for small buildings since I was a little girl. Then I found a book about historical telephone boxes, which absorbed me — some looked like traditional cottages; others like Greek temples. But it didn’t last long; they had to be standardized and made more practical.
M: You went to architecture school. Did you know you would work on small buildings?
W: Yes, my final year project was on small and temporary buildings around major building sites. They all meet safety standards, and why shouldn’t they have some style? I designed them to look better, and also to be put up and taken apart more quickly.
M: Where did you get your creativity from?
W: I think I’m more practical than creative. I was visiting some clients abroad a few years ago, and saw some brilliant stands there. They were little metal folding houses and completely waterproof. I did drawings of them and made one when I got home as my parents had a really heavy market stand.

W: Hello, everybody. Today, I’d like to talk about robots. Robots are supposed to run on batteries, right? But scientists in England have built a series of small robots that get their energy from dead flies or sugar. One robot, called Slugbot, was even designed to hunt garden insects for dinner!
Scientists at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory want to invent robots that can operate for long periods of time in dark, dirty, or dangerous places. Many of those spots, like the seafloor or Antarctica, don’t have electrical equipment to connect power supply. So inventor Chris Melhuish came up with a better idea - build robots that get their energy just like animals do.
The robots digest their food in the stomach-like equipment full of bacteria! As the bacteria eat up the food, they produce something that is very important to form electricity. One robot, called Ecobot II, could run for 12 days on a diet of eight flies! But it seems that after an eight-fly dinner, Ecobot II couldn’t get rid of the leftover “waste”. Melhuish says his team is now working on a new and improved robot. Maybe restrooms in the future will have signs for boys, girls and robots.
应用文评分标准
（一）总体原则
先看内容，后看语言，再关注衔接和连贯，以及交际性。
1. 本题总分为15分，按五个档次进行评分。
2. 评分时，应主要从内容组织、词汇语法和篇章结构三个方面考虑，具体为：
（1）对内容要点的覆盖情况以及表述的清楚程度和合理性。
（2）使用词汇和语法结构的准确性，恰当性和多样性。
（3）上下文的衔接和全文的连贯性。
3. 评分时，先根据作答的整体情况初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来综合衡量，确定或调整档次，最后给分。
（二）评分注意事项
1.词数少于60的，酌情扣分。
2.单词拼写和标点符号是写作规范的重要方面，评分时应视其对交际的影响程度予以考虑。英、美拼写及词汇用法均可接受。
3.书写较差以致影响交际的，将分数降低一个档次。
（三）评分标准
第五档（13-15）
1. 覆盖了所有内容要点，表述清楚、合理。
2. 使用了多样并且恰当的词汇和语法结构，可能有个别小错，但不影响理解。
