He couldn’t see anything except some light coming from the upstairs bedroom, so he quickly changed his route with a plan to escape from the bedroom window. As flames burned at his feet, he broke the window’s glass with his bare hand. He covered the young girl in blankets to protect her from the flames. Holding Kaylani tightly, he then jumped out of the second-story window. As he landed on the ground, he turned to his side and broke Kaylani’s fall with his own body.
The fire department arrived on the scene as Nicholas landed on the ground. The little girl had not got any injuries. Nicholas, though, suffered severe burns, and serious injuries from the fall.

The city honored Nicholas for his bravery. Friends organized a Go - FundMe account to help cover his medical expenses.

【導語】本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了一款能夠利用人工智能技術自學執行手術任務的醫療機器人。
12.D細節理解題。根據第三段“Using a type of AI training called imitation learning, in which an AI model learns a new task by observing and imitating human actions, reported Fast Company, the robot is able to learn the very complex set of actions needed to carry out a surgical task.(據《快公司》報道，使用一種稱為模仿學習的人工智能訓練，其中人工智能模型通過觀察和模仿人類行為來學習新任務，機器人能夠學習執行手術任務所需的一組非常復雜的動作。)”可知，機器人通過模仿學習掌握手術技能，即觀察并模仿人類行為。故選D。
13. A 詞句猜測題。根據畫線詞后面的句子“This suggests that the robot was able to generalize, rather than just memorize and would be able to manage the unexpected situations that tend to occur in a real-life operating room.(這表明機器人能夠概括，而不僅僅是記憶，并且能夠應付現實生活中手術室中經常發生的意外情況。)”可知，機器人能夠成功應對現實生活中手術室中經常發生的意外情況，由此可推測出，“It was able to perform the virtual simulation (模擬) with flying colors”表達的是機器人能夠出色地執行虛擬模擬，with flying colors意為“出色地”，與perfectly意思相近。故選A。
14. B推理判斷題。根據第五段““It’s really magical to have this model where all we do is feed it camera input, and it can predict the robotic movements needed for surgery,” Dr. Axel Krieger, senior author of the study, told Fast Company. “We believe this marks a significant step forward toward a new frontier in medical robotics.”(該研究的資深作者Axel Krieger博士告訴《快公司》雜志：“擁有這個模型真的很神奇，我們所做的就是給它輸入攝像頭，它可以預測手術所需的機器人運動。我們認為，這標志著朝著醫療機器人新領域邁出了重要一步。”)”可知，Axel Krieger博士認為這一模型很神奇，并認為它標志著醫療機器人新領域的重要進步，這強調其創新性。故選B。
15. C主旨大意題。根據最后一段“Automated medical devices could make high-quality medical procedures and care available in places lacking medical infrastructure. Not every small city employs top-tier surgeons in their hospitals. An automated surgeon could bring all the skills and expertise of a human surgeon to the people who need them.(自動化醫療設備可以在缺乏醫療基礎設施的地方提供高質量的醫療手術和護理。并非每個小城市的醫院都雇用了頂級外科醫生。自動化外科醫生可以將人類外科醫生的所有技能和專業知識帶給需要它們的人。)”可知，最后一段指出自動化醫療設備可為缺乏基礎設施的地區提供高質量醫療服務，強調其社會意義。故選C。

語法填空
【導語】本文是一篇說明文，主要講述了由于人類活動導致地球變暖，在過去幾年中世界各地出現了更頻繁、更猛烈的天氣事件，并闡述了變暖環境對熱浪、降雨、風暴等天氣現象的影響，以及關于颶風數量變化的不確定性等相關內容。
36．考查時態和語態。句意：在過去幾年里，由于人類活動地球變暖，世界各地有更多頻繁且更猛烈的天氣事件被報道。根據時間狀語 “in the past few years” 可知，句子要用現在完成時。“weather events” 和 “report” 之間是被動關系，即天氣事件被報道，所以要用現在完成時的被動語態 “have/has been + 過去分詞” ，“weather events” 是復數，故填have been reported。
37．考查形容詞。句意：一個正在變暖的環境可以加劇熱浪，增加出現極熱白天和夜晚的可能性。這里需要一個形容詞修飾 “environment” ，“warm” 的現在分詞形式 “warming” 可作形容詞，表示 “正在變暖的” ，故填warming。
38．考查介詞。句意：一個正在變暖的環境可以通過增加出現極熱白天和夜晚的可能性來加劇熱浪。“by”在這里表示方式，意為 “通過” ，即通過某種方式加劇熱浪，by doing sth. (通過做某事)，故填by。
39．考查固定搭配。句意：而且它（變暖環境）也與更大量的降雨和暴風雪有關。“be connected with” 是固定搭配，意為 “與…… 有關” ，故填connected。
40．考查形式賓語。句意：地球變暖的海洋使得最強風暴可能會更猛烈，產生更多降雨，影響更廣泛的區域，并且可能持續更長時間。這里“make it + 形容詞 + that 從句” ，“it” 是形式賓語，真正的賓語是后面的“that從句” ，故填it。
41．考查形容詞。句意：地球變暖的海洋使得最強風暴可能會更猛烈，產生更多降雨，影響更廣泛的區域，并且可能持續更長時間。根據前文 “fiercer”“more rainfall” 等比較級形式，這里也應用比較級，表示 “更廣泛的區域” ，形容詞“wide” 的比較級是 “wider” ，作定語修飾名詞areas，故填wider。
42．考查非限制性定語從句。句意：此外，海平面上升使得在風暴期間更多海水被推向海岸，這與風暴產生的更多降雨一起，可能會導致災難性的風暴和洪水。這里是一個非限制性定語從句，先行詞是前面整個句子 “sea level rise makes more seawater pushed on to the coasts during storms” ，關系詞替代先行詞在從句中作主語，用關系代詞which，故填which。
43．考查形容詞。句意：此外，海平面上升使得在風暴期間更多海水被推向海岸，這與風暴產生的更多降雨一起，可能會導致災難性的風暴和洪水。這里需要一個形容詞作定語修飾名詞“storms” ，“disaster” 的形容詞形式 “disastrous” 表示 “災難性的” ，故填disastrous。
44．考查不定式。句意：一些適合引發颶風的強雷暴的條件預計會隨著氣候變暖而增加，但影響颶風形成的其他條件仍存在不確定性。“be expected to do sth.” 是固定搭配，意為 “被預計做某事” ，故填to increase。
45．考查名詞復數。句意：這些是持續研究的課題。根據“are”可知，用復數名詞subjects作主語，故填subjects。
He couldn’t see anything except some light coming from the upstairs bedroom, so he quickly changed his route with a plan to escape from the bedroom window. As flames burned at his feet, he broke the window’s glass with his bare hand. He covered the young girl in blankets to protect her from the flames. Holding Kaylani tightly, he then jumped out of the second-story window. As he landed on the ground, he turned to his side and broke Kaylani’s fall with his own body.
The fire department arrived on the scene as Nicholas landed on the ground. The little girl had not got any injuries. Nicholas, though, suffered severe burns, and serious injuries from the fall. Emergency responders rushed him to the hospital for treatment. The children’s parents said they felt incredibly grateful to Nicholas for risking his own life to save their children.

A delivery man saved five children from a house on fire. ____
While out on his evening pizza delivery shift, Nicholas Bostic drove past a two-story home on fire. Shocked at
the frightening sight, he stopped his car and rushed over to assess (評估) the situation and to determine if anyone might
be trapped inside. Nicholas reached for his phone to dial 911, but he realized at once that he left it at home. He bravely
entered the house without any hesitation.
Nicolas went into the house through the back door. He rushed upstairs, shouting “fire!” throughout the home.
The oldest child, Seionna, heard his screams and woke up. She woke her younger sister and a friend who had stayed
the night. She then ran to grab her 1-year-old baby sister.
Nicholas called out to the terrified girls and instructed them to follow him. The sisters — Seionna, 18; Shaylee,
13; and Kaleia, 1 — and their family friend, Livian, 13, followed his directions to escape to the safety of the street.
Once outside in the fresh air, the girls shook in fear and coughed from the smoke. However, they soon realized
that their 6-year-old sister, Kaylani, had not escaped with them. Nicholas rushed back again into the house full of fire.
He rushed up the stairs and searched for the missing girl under beds and in the closets of each room. He wouldn’t
give up his search despite the thickening smoke stopping his sight and his ability to breathe.
“I don’t know how to explain it, but it was like I accepted I was going to probably die, right there, that night,”
Nicholas explained. Nicholas finally heard a faint cry coming from downstairs. He covered his mouth and nose with
his shirt as he followed the voice. He crawled (爬行) his way through the smoke to reach the child. Once he found
her, he caught her up and attempted to make his way to the back door. 注意:
