the chair next to mine,then toward my suitcase blocking the chair.There were many open seats.Why this one?I thought.When he sat,I noticed the markings on his bag and his faded uniform.I asked.He nodded.I bowed my head slightly.Then he asked where I was headed.“Home.”Hands on his knees,he told me he was on vacation and was going home to surprise his mother.I asked how long it had been since hed seen her(five years).I asked what he was looking forward to at home(a shower).He scanned the room cautiously as he talked.When he looked at me,his eyes kept no distance.He seemed to want something from me.I could not tell what it was.He said it was hard to stop scanning for danger.Yesterday,hed been in the desert.Fellow soldiers had been blown into pieces around him.Today,he was in an airport trying to understand anger over flight delays and the rush for coffee.He didnt know how to be,here in this place.I thought maybe I understood.One evening after spending hours with a friend who just lost her son,I went to 高三英语试题 第 4 页学科网（北京）股份有限公司my daughters performance.In the crowded lobby,mothers complained about their seats and bemoaned other small slights,but only compassion made sense to me.I felt disoriented,distant.I told the soldier about this.He breathed deeply and showed a small smile.Hed seen the raw and unbearable.But he did not know how to tell us.This was what he needed from me,I realized.He did not want the seat beside mine.He wanted to sit with me.I did not know his name,how his surprise would turn out,how long his tour of duty would last.We sat together until our flights were called and then said goodbye,two strangers heading home.24.How did the author feel when the soldier approached him?A.Angry.B:Confused.C.Respectful.D.Joyful.25.Why did the man keep

and have made certain procedures possible.One example is“keyhole surgery”,or minimally invasive(微创)surgery,which normally requires surgeons to stand at awkward angles and make difficult movements with their hands to make a cut inside the patient.But in June 2022,surgeon James Ansell used 3D glasses and two sticks to control four robotic arms to perform a procedure to remove a cancerous tumor.“My colleague said.that this feels like cheating,”Ansell said to The Guardian.Another area of surgery that has had major technological breakthroughs in recent years is telesurgery.Normally,telesurgery relies on a wired connect ion due to concerns of harming the patient should a wireless connection drop during surgery,but China made several advancements in wireless telesurgery based on 5G technology.China achieved the first 5G-based remote operation in March 2019 involving a brain surgery procedure between a surgeon in Sanya and a patient in Beijing,a distance totaling nearly 3,000kilometers.More recently,a team of surgeons successfully completed remote micron-level eye surgery on rabbits located in a different city.The rabbits were at the Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhb,Guangdon g province,whereas the surgical team who(perated on them via.a 5Grobot were at the Hainan Eye Hospital in Haikou,Hainan province.Looking to the future,people hope that remote surgery could become commonplace to help heal injured soldiers on the battlefield while keeping surgeons at a safe distance.Some even believe that robotic systems,combined with AI,could one day exceed human surgeons.But;given current technological limitations and the high costs of these robots which can cost millions of dollars,the complete robot takeover of surgery may still be a while off.28.What does the“key hole surgery”example intend to show?A.Great complexity of robotic surgery.B.Physical challenges surgeons face.C.Surgical progress enabled by robotic tools.高三英语试题 第 5 页学科网（北京）股份有限公司D.Urgent need for advanced 3D technology.29.What significant achievement did China make in the field of telesurgery?A.Achieving remote surgery using a wired connection.B.Completing successfully remote eye

text?A.Robotic Surgery Uses 5G TechnologyB.Keyhole Surgery Benefits Human BeingsC.Autonomous Robot Achieves Great ProgressD.Medical Robotics Revolutionizes Surgery MethodD2500 years ago,Socrates(苏格拉底)complained that writing would harm students.Today a different heated debate is ongoing about the dangers of another technology computers and the typing people do on them.As primary-school pupils and PhD hopefuls return for a new school year in the northern hemisphere,many will do so with a greater-than-ever reliance on computers to take notes and write papers.Some parents of younger students are frustrated that their children are not just encouraged but required to carry laptops to class.Lot s of teachers complain of uncontrolled distraction in classrooms,with students reading and messaging instead of listening to lectures.A line of research shows the benefits of an“innovation”pgior to computers:handwriting.Studies have found that writing on paper can improve everything from recalling a random series of words to facilitating a better conceptual grasp of complicated ideas.For learning material by rote,from the shapes of letters to the quirks of English spelling,the benefits of using a pen or pencil lie in how the motor and sensory memory of putting words on paper reinforces that material.The arrangement of squiggles(不规则的曲线)on a page feeds into visual memory:people might remember a word they wrote down in French class as being at the bottom-left on a page,for example.Another one of the best-demonstrated advantages of.writing by hand seems to be in superior note-taking.In a study from 2014 by Pam Mueller and Danny Oppenheimer,.students typing wrote down almost twice as many words and more passages word for word from lectures,suggesting they were not understanding so much as rapidly copying the material.Handwriting,which takes longer for nearly all university-level students,forces note-takers to synthesis e ideas into their own words.This aids conceptual understanding at the moment of writing.Besides,those taking notes by hand also perform better on tests when students are later able to study from their notes.Socrates may or may not have had a point about the downsides of writing.But no one would remember,or much less care,if his student Plato had not noted his teachings down for the benefit of later generations.32.Why do teachers complain?A.Because students carry laptops to class.B.Because students cause distraction in class.C.Because students are not focused in class.D.Because students are suffering from sight loss.33.How does hand-writing benefit students?A.It makes students understand concepts better.B.It helps students develop better imagination.C.It improves students writing ability.高三英语试题 第 6 页学科网（北京）股份有限公司D.It saves students note-taking time.34.What is the authors attitude to hand-writing?A.Supportive.B.Disapproving.C.Neutral.D.Indifferent.35.What is the main idea of the passage?A.In an age of typing handwriting still mattersB.Handwriting helps studentsC.Handwriting has big advantages over typingD.Making the handwriting第二节 (共 5小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5

thought occurs,we resolve to act on it“soon”and then,when the time comes,the ideas gone.Diaries and alarms help,but your imagination plays a vital role in holding onto brief thoughts and keeping you in control of your future plans.For example,dont just have an idea about going to the bank.37 Perhaps youre leaving the bank loaded with shiny gold bars.But thats only the beginning.This process allows you to do much more than just reminding yourself to do things.38 Then,create a vivid“memory”of how youd like it to go,and crucially,how youd like to feel.Creating“memories”like this gives you time to think about practical arrangements and spot any problems before they arise.A part of your brain will still be processing the details even when youre thinking about other things.Here are some tips:Experiment to see if you prefer viewing this“mental movie”through your own eyes,or by watching yourself from someone elses point of view.39 Fast forward any parts you find easy,and go in slow motion for the bits that need extra work.Use your full range of senses.40 A.Control the time frame.B.Minimize all the feelings.C.You can use it to do them better so try it now.D.Engaging them all will create a rich,multi-dimensional memory.E.Paint a mental picture of yourself there and actively make it memorable.F.Pick an important event around the corner:a driving test or a public speech.G.The reason it often fails is that we have an idea in mind but dont make it into a memory.第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分 30 分)第一节 (共 15小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Scott Macaulay
