Raised in Jacksonville a small town in North Carolina, Christina Koch always knew she wanted to be an astronaut. This dream began as early as kindergarten, during a time when spaceflight was dominated by men. “Fortunately, when I told my kindergarten teachers that I wanted to be an astronaut they supported me. No one told me that it was unattainable. And whether it was my own hard-headedness or that encouragement, I did go full forward into pursuing my dream to become an astronaut,” she says.
Koch found inspiration in pioneers like Sally Ride and Mae Jemison, but also in everyday heroes — from civil rights activists to her independent grandmother. These examples, along with her family’s emphasis on hard work, instilled in her the courage to chase her dreams.
Koch studied physics and electrical engineering before joining NASA at the Goddard Space Flight Center, where she contributed to the development of scientific instruments on several space missions. Driven by a thirst for adventure, she spent a year in Antarctica’s tough environment and then in other remote locations like Greenland. Unsurprisingly, she cited photography, travel, camping and climbing among her hobbies.
The ultimate fulfillment (实现) of her dream came in 2013, when she was selected as an astronaut, joining a groundbreaking class with an equal number of men and women. Previously, women comprised only 17% of NASA’s astronauts. After completing training in 2015, she was assigned her first long-stay mission on the International Space Station (ISS). Her success is undeniable. As part of the Artemis II mission, scheduled for 2025, she’ll travel further than any human since Apollo, an evidence of her constant ambition.
Koch advocates following passions and embracing challenges. “Do what scares you,” she advises, “because those things often lead to the greatest fulfillment and contributions.”Besides, Koch also says that there’s one that should never be forgotten: “Support the people around you. Make sure that you’re thinking about the success of those around you, that you’re helping them, and together we all will achieve as much as we possibly can.”
4. What initially motivated Koch to become an astronaut?
A. Her desire to push herself to the limit.
B. Her early enthusiasm in space exploration.
C. Her wish to reward her kindergarten teachers.
D. Her ambition to change the position of women astronauts.
5. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Koch invented some scientific devices.
B. Koch set a record for the longest spaceflight.
C. Various hobbies prepared Koch for adventure.
D. Role models impacted Koch greatly in her life journey.
6. What does Koch’s advice indicate?
A. Seeking support is crucial for dream chasers.
B. Being kind to others is the stepstone to success.
C. Welcoming challenges leads to personal growth.
D. Working tirelessly is key to overcoming barriers.
7. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Christina Koch: An Explorer of Nature
B. Christina Koch: A Dream Pursuer to Space
C. Christina Koch: A Role Model from Jacksonville
D. Christina Koch: A Distinguished Female Scientist
C
It is very likely that you eat three meals a day. Modern life is designed around this way of eating. However, is this the healthiest way to eat? Before considering how frequently we should eat, scientists urge us to consider when we shouldn’t.
Intermittent fasting (间歇性断食), where you restrict your food intake to an eight-hour window, has become a popular area of research. “It allows our digestive system to rest,” says Emily Manoogian at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. Rozalyn Anderson at the University of Wisconsin explains, “Fasting puts the body in a different state, where it’s more ready to clear misfolded proteins.” Misfolded proteins are faulty versions of ordinary proteins, which have been associated with a number of diseases.
But if intermittent fasting is a healthy way to eat, how many meals does this leave room for? Some experts argue that it is best to have one meal a day. Manoogian does not recommend doing this, since it can increase the level of glucose (葡萄糖) in our blood when we are not eating. Keeping blood glucose levels down requires eating more regularly than once a day, as this prevents the body from thinking that it is starving and releasing more glucose when you do eventually eat in response. Instead, she says, two to three meals a day is best — with most of your calories consumed earlier in the day.“ So, your body can use the energy you feed it throughout the day, rather than it being stored in your system as fat.” But eating too early in the morning should be avoided, as this would not give you sufficient time to fast. This does not mean we should skip breakfast altogether, either, but some evidence suggests we should wait an hour or two after waking up before cracking open the eggs.
Is intermittent fasting realistic? Manoogian thinks that it is best not to specify the best time to eat, as this can be difficult for people with responsibilities and irregular time commitments, such as those working night shifts. But whatever changes you make, researchers agree that consistency is crucial.
8. What can we know about intermittent fasting?
A. It focuses on what to eat.
B. It cures a number of diseases.
C. It keeps the digestive system clean.
D. It limits food intake to a fixed duration.
9. What does Manoogian agree with?
A. Calories can be hardly consumed in the evening.
B. Frequent meals bring about steady blood glucose.
C. Two to three meals in the day reduces storage of fat.
D. Early eating is recommended for intermittent fasting.
10. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. How intermittent fasting is tested.
B. Whether intermittent fasting is safe.
C. How intermittent fasting is practiced.
D. When people eat during intermittent fasting.
11. What’s the basic principle of intermittent fasting?
A. Sticking to a routine.
B. Defining a best meal time.
C. Having regular working hours.
D. Maintaining consistent menus.
D
A starfish has five identical arms with a layer of “tube feet” beneath them. Have you ever wondered whether starfish have defined front and back ends—and if they have no heads at all? The answer, suggests new genetic(基因的)research, is the opposite. “It’s as if the starfish is completely missing a trunk,” said Laurent Formery at Stanford University. “And it’s best described as just a head crawling along the seafloor.”
Starfish belong to echinoderms with lines of symmetry(对称)radiating out from a center point, like spokes on a wheel. So the unusual animals have unique body plans(结构)arranged in five equal sections that greatly differ from the bodies of bilateral animals, which have left and right sides mirroring each other.
Starfish begin as fertilized eggs that hatch and become larvae(幼虫)that float in the ocean for weeks to months before settling on the ocean floor. There, they go through a process that transforms a bilateral body into a star shape. “This has been a mystery for centuries,” said Christopher Lowe at Stanford University.
Researchers used new methods of genetic sequencing to create an unprecedented 3D map to determine where genes were expressed as starfish developed and grew. They found that genetic features associated with the development of a head were detected all-over the starfish especially concentrated in the center of the star and the center of each “arm”. Meanwhile, gene expression for trunk sections was largely absent. This suggested that starfish “have the most dramatic example of decoupling of the head and the trunk regions that we are aware of today,” said Formery.
Studying groups like echinoderms could solve some of the most complex mysteries about the evolution of life on Earth. “People are generally not drawn to these animals, and yet they probably represent how much of life got started,” Lowe said. Understanding how animals like starfish have developed could also allow insights into the varied ways that different species remain healthy. Daniel Rokhsar at the University of California said, “If we explore unusual animals that are operating in unusual ways, that means we are broadening our perspective of biology. This is eventually going to help us solve both ecological and biomedical problems.”
12. In what aspect are starfish different?
A They have no trunks at all.
B. They have left and right sides.
C. They have a star shape from birth.
D. They have unequally stretching arms.
13. How did researchers explore the mystery of starfish?
A. By creating a seabed map.
B. By comparing body plans.
C. By locating their gene expressions.
D. By tracking their development and growth.
14. What does the underlined word “decoupling” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Forming. B. Separating. C. Exchanging. D. Expanding.
15. Why do scientists study unusual animals?
A. To reveal the origin of life.
B. To improve health of diverse species.
C. To promote the research in related fields.
D. To raise people’s concern about marine animals.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A few weeks ago, my sister was going through her old coats and vests(背心), seeing what was no longer needed. Although she was still in junior high school. she found ways here and there to make some extra money for her holiday shopping.
She found two vests in like-new condition and asked if I would list them in our local Facebook yard sale group. She set the price at $7 each and it wasn’t long before someone replied, wanting to buy them.
The buyer replied in a short message with broken English; it was obvious that Spanish was her native language. After a few messages back and forth, she revealed that she couldn’t drive to my house to pick up the vests because she lived on the other side of town, but asked if I would be willing to ship the vests to her instead.
I hesitated. The last week of school was so crazy busy. I barely had enough time to get from place to place, much less figure out how to wrap up these heavy vests and ship them out. I was feeling overwhelmed trying to get everything accomplished and this one extra task seemed like that straw that would break the camel’s back.
She must have sensed. my hesitation as she sent another message offering to send me a money order(汇票)to pay for the vests and the shipping costs.
A money order.
I literally froze when I read her message. It was obvious this woman wanted these items, probably for a Christmas gift for a child or grandchild. I knew if she took the time to get a money order, then mailed it to me and if I waited to get the money order then shipped the vests to her, there was a really good chance they would not arrive in time for Christmas morning.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
That’s when I heard the whisper on my heart: “Give her the vests for free.”
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Knowing the vests were for her disabled daughter, I decided to ship more Christmas gifts.

Raised in Jacksonville, a small town in North Carolina, Christina Koch always knew she wanted to be an astronaut. This dream began as early as kindergarten, during a time when spaceflight was dominated by men. “Fortunately, when I told my kindergarten teachers that I wanted to be an astronaut they supported me. No one told me that it was unattainable. And whether it was my own hard-headedness or that encouragement, I did go full forward into pursuing my dream to become an astronaut,” she says.
Koch found inspiration in pioneers like Sally Ride and Mae Jemison, but also in everyday heroes — from civil rights activists to her independent grandmother. These examples, along with her family’s emphasis on hard work, instilled in her the courage to chase her dreams.
Koch studied physics and electrical engineering before joining NASA at the Goddard Space Flight Center, where she contributed to the development of scientific instruments on several space missions. Driven by a thirst for adventure, she spent a year in Antarctica’s tough environment and then in other remote locations like Greenland. Unsurprisingly, she cited photography, travel, camping and climbing among her hobbies.
The ultimate fulfillment (实现) of her dream came in 2013, when she was selected as an astronaut, joining a groundbreaking class with an equal number of men and women. Previously, women comprised only 17% of NASA’s astronauts. After completing training in 2015, she was assigned her first long-stay mission on the International Space Station (ISS). Her success is undeniable. As part of the Artemis II mission, scheduled for 2025, she’ll travel further than any human since Apollo, an evidence of her constant ambition.
Koch advocates following passions and embracing challenges. “Do what scares you,” she advises, “because those things often lead to the greatest fulfillment and contributions.”Besides, Koch also says that there’s one that should never be forgotten: “Support the people around you. Make sure that you’re thinking about the success of those around you, that you’re helping them, and together we all will achieve as much as we possibly can.”
4. What initially motivated Koch to become an astronaut?
A. Her desire to push herself to the limit.
B. Her early enthusiasm in space exploration.
C. Her wish to reward her kindergarten teachers.
D. Her ambition to change the position of women astronauts.
5. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Koch invented some scientific devices.
B. Koch set a record for the longest spaceflight.
C. Various hobbies prepared Koch for adventure.
D. Role models impacted Koch greatly in her life journey.
6. What does Koch’s advice indicate?
A. Seeking support is crucial for dream chasers.
B Being kind to others is the stepstone to success.
C. Welcoming challenges leads to personal growth.
D. Working tirelessly is key to overcoming barriers.
7. What is the best title of the passage?

It is very likely that you eat three meals a day. Modern life is designed around this way of eating. However, is this the healthiest way to eat? Before considering how frequently we should eat, scientists urge us to consider when we shouldn’t.
Intermittent fasting (间歇性断食), where you restrict your food intake to an eight-hour window, has become a popular area of research. “It allows our digestive system to rest,” says Emily Manoogian at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. Rozalyn Anderson at the University of Wisconsin explains, “Fasting puts the body in a different state, where it’s more ready to clear misfolded proteins.” Misfolded proteins are faulty versions of ordinary proteins, which have been associated with a number of diseases.
But if intermittent fasting is a healthy way to eat, how many meals does this leave room for? Some experts argue that it is best to have one meal a day. Manoogian does not recommend doing this, since it can increase the level of glucose (葡萄糖) in our blood when we are not eating. Keeping blood glucose levels down requires eating more regularly than once a day, as this prevents the body from thinking that it is starving and releasing more glucose when you do eventually eat in response. Instead, she says, two to three meals a day is best — with most of your calories consumed earlier in the day.“ So, your body can use the energy you feed it throughout the day, rather than it being stored in your system as fat.” But eating too early in the morning should be avoided, as this would not give you sufficient time to fast. This does not mean we should skip breakfast altogether, either, but some evidence suggests we should wait an hour or two after waking up before cracking open the eggs.
Is intermittent fasting realistic? Manoogian thinks that it is best not to specify the best time to eat, as this can be difficult for people with responsibilities and irregular time commitments, such as those working night shifts. But whatever changes you make, researchers agree that consistency is crucial.
8. What can we know about intermittent fasting?
A. It focuses on what to eat.
B. It cures a number of diseases.
C. It keeps the digestive system clean.
D. It limits food intake to a fixed duration.
9. What does Manoogian agree with?
A. Calories can be hardly consumed in the evening.
B. Frequent meals bring about steady blood glucose.
C. Two to three meals in the day reduces storage of fat.
D. Early eating is recommended for intermittent fasting.
10. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. How intermittent fasting is tested.
B. Whether intermittent fasting is safe.
C. How intermittent fasting is practiced.
D. When people eat during intermittent fasting.
11. What’s the basic principle of intermittent fasting?
A. Sticking to a routine.
B. Defining a best meal time.
C. Having regular working hours.
D. Maintaining consistent menus.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Intermittent fasting (间歇性断食), where you restrict your food intake to an eight-hour window, has become a popular area of research.”(间歇性禁食,即将食物摄入量限制在8小时内,已经成为一个流行的研究领域。)可知,间歇性禁食将食物摄入限制在固定的时间内。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Instead, she says, two to three meals a day is best — with most of your calories consumed earlier in the day.“ So, your body can use the energy you feed it throughout the day, rather than it being stored in your system as fat.””(相反,她说,一天吃两到三顿饭是最好的——你的大部分卡路里都是在一天的早些时候消耗的。“所以,你的身体可以全天使用你提供的能量,而不是以脂肪的形式储存在你的系统中。”)可推知,马诺基安同意一天吃两到三顿饭可以减少脂肪的储存。故选C项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“But if intermittent fasting is a healthy way to eat, how many meals does this leave room for?”(但是,如果间歇性禁食是一种健康的饮食方式,那么这还能为多少餐留出空间呢?)以及后面的内容可知,该段主要讲的是如何进行间歇性禁食。故选C项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Is intermittent fasting realistic? Manoogian thinks that it is best not to specify the best time to eat, as this can be difficult for people with responsibilities and irregular time commitments, such as those working night shifts. But whatever changes you make, researchers agree that consistency is crucial.”(间歇性禁食现实吗?马诺基安认为最好不要指定吃饭的最佳时间,因为这对那些有责任和不规律的时间承诺的人来说很难,比如那些上夜班的人。但无论你做出什么改变,研究人员一致认为,一致性至关重要。)可知,间歇性禁食的基本原则是坚持一个常规。故选A项。

A starfish has five identical arms with a layer of “tube feet” beneath them. Have you ever wondered whether starfish have defined front and back ends—and if they have no heads at all? The answer, suggests new genetic(基因的)research, is the opposite. “It’s as if the starfish is completely missing a trunk,” said Laurent Formery at Stanford University. “And it’s best described as just a head crawling along the seafloor.”
Starfish belong to echinoderms with lines of symmetry(对称)radiating out from a center point, like spokes on a wheel. So the unusual animals have unique body plans(结构)arranged in five equal sections that greatly differ from the bodies of bilateral animals, which have left and right sides mirroring each other.
Starfish begin as fertilized eggs that hatch and become larvae(幼虫)that float in the ocean for weeks to months before settling on the ocean floor. There, they go through a process that transforms a bilateral body into a star shape. “This has been a mystery for centuries,” said Christopher Lowe at Stanford University.
Researchers used new methods of genetic sequencing to create an unprecedented 3D map to determine where genes were expressed as starfish developed and grew. They found that genetic features associated with the development of a head were detected all-over the starfish especially concentrated in the center of the star and the center of each “arm”. Meanwhile, gene expression for trunk sections was largely absent. This suggested that starfish “have the most dramatic example of decoupling of the head and the trunk regions that we are aware of today,” said Formery.
Studying groups like echinoderms could solve some of the most complex mysteries about the evolution of life on Earth. “People are generally not drawn to these animals, and yet they probably represent how much of life got started,” Lowe said. Understanding how animals like starfish have developed could also allow insights into the varied ways that different species remain healthy. Daniel Rokhsar at the University of California said, “If we explore unusual animals that are operating in unusual ways, that means we are broadening our perspective of biology. This is eventually going to help us solve both ecological and biomedical problems.”
12. In what aspect are starfish different?
A. They have no trunks at all.
B. They have left and right sides.
C. They have a star shape from birth.
D. They have unequally stretching arms.
13. How did researchers explore the mystery of starfish?
A. By creating a seabed map.
B. By comparing body plans.
C. By locating their gene expressions.
D. By tracking their development and growth.
14. What does the underlined word “decoupling” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Forming. B. Separating. C. Exchanging. D. Expanding.
15. Why do scientists study unusual animals?
A. To reveal the origin of life.
B. To improve health of diverse species.
C. To promote the research in related fields.
D. To raise people’s concern about marine animals.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了新的基因研究对海星身体结构的发现。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Starfish belong to echinoderms with lines of symmetry(对称)radiating out from a center point, like spokes on a wheel. So the unusual animals have unique body plans(结构)arranged in five equal sections that greatly differ from the bodies of bilateral animals, which have left and right sides mirroring each other.”(海星属于棘皮动物,有从中心点向外辐射的对称线条,就像车轮上的辐条。因此,这种不寻常的动物有独特的身体结构,分为五个相等的部分,与左右两侧互为镜像的两侧动物的身体有很大的不同。)可知,海星不同的地方是它们完全没有躯干。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Researchers used new methods of genetic sequencing to create an unprecedented 3D map to determine where genes were expressed as starfish developed and grew.”(研究人员使用新的基因测序方法创建了一个前所未有的3D地图,以确定基因在海星发育和生长过程中的表达位置。)可推知,研究人员通过定位海星的基因表达来探索海星的奥秘。故选C项。
14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段中““It’s as if the starfish is completely missing a trunk,” said Laurent Formery at Stanford University. “And it’s best described as just a head crawling along the seafloor.””(坦福大学的劳伦特·福莫里说:“这就好像海星完全失去了一个躯干。”“对它的最好描述就是一个脑袋在海底爬行。”)提到海星好像完全失去了一个躯干,对它的最好描述就是一个脑袋在海底爬行。以及第四段中“Meanwhile, gene expression for trunk sections was largely absent.”(同时,躯干部分的基因表达基本缺失。)由此可知,划线单词句子可理解为:这表明海星“有我们今天所知道的最引人注目的头部和躯干区域分离的例子”。故可猜测划线单词decoupling为“分离”的意思,与选项B项Separating“分离”意思一致。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Studying groups like echinoderms could solve some of the most complex mysteries about the evolution of life on Earth. “People are generally not drawn to these animals, and yet they probably represent how much of life got started,” Lowe said.

【答案】Dear Lucas
Overjoyed to learn you are enthusiastic about Housework Talent Show, a featured activity staged by my school, I am writing in response to your inquiry.
Last Sunday witnessed my signature dish show—Kung Pao Chicken. What came first was dicing chicken which was then stir-fried until golden. Subsequently, I sliced some vegetables such as peppers and carrots, and stir-fried together with chicken. Lastly, I poured the flavorful sauce prepared beforehand. A mouth-watering feast of color, fragrance and taste announced a dramatic display of my cooking.
This awesome experience not merely enriches my extracurricular life, but also makes me taste the sweat and fulfillment of labor. Does my dish tickle your taste buds?
Best wishes.
Yours,

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A few weeks ago, my sister was going through her old coats and vests(背心), seeing what was no longer needed. Although she was still in junior high school. she found ways here and there to make some extra money for her holiday shopping.
She found two vests in like-new condition and asked if I would list them in our local Facebook yard sale group. She set the price at $7 each and it wasn’t long before someone replied, wanting to buy them.
The buyer replied in a short message with broken English; it was obvious that Spanish was her native language. After a few messages back and forth, she revealed that she couldn’t drive to my house to pick up the vests because she lived on the other side of town, but asked if I would be willing to ship the vests to her instead.
I hesitated. The last week of school was so crazy busy. I barely had enough time to get from place to place, much less figure out how to wrap up these heavy vests and ship them out. I was feeling overwhelmed trying to get everything accomplished and this one extra task seemed like that straw that would break the camel’s back.
She must have sensed. my hesitation as she sent another message offering to send me a money order(汇票)to pay for the vests and the shipping costs.
A money order.
I literally froze when I read her message. It was obvious this woman wanted these items, probably for a Christmas gift for a child or grandchild. I knew if she took the time to get a money order, then mailed it to me and if I waited to get the money order then shipped the vests to her, there was a really good chance they would not arrive in time for Christmas morning.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

That’s when I heard the whisper on my heart: “Give her the vests for free.”

Knowing the vests were for her disabled daughter, I decided to ship more Christmas gifts.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
That’s when I heard the whisper on my heart: “Give her the vests for free.” Without a second thought, I responded back, inquiring her mailing address. Upon her request for payment, I gently declined, offering to send them for free. Out poured her appreciation for such kindness literally in her Spanish / English messages. It was a ‘humble’ Christmas gift for her disabled daughter, a poor angel confined to a wheelchair. Having spent years littered with severe hardship, they couldn’t afford much. Ripples of heartbreak mingled with sympathy swallowing me like wild beasts, I couldn’t be blind to it without doing anything.
Knowing the vests were for her disabled daughter, I decided to ship more Christmas gifts. Inside the package I mailed were two brand-new coats and hats for the daughter alongside a sparkly scarf for the mom. A few days later, a message dinged and there came a thank-you note, in which the mom expressed her gratitude and delight, saying she never anticipated such thoughtfulness and generosity could descend on her family. I felt blessed to be Santa Claus to bring warmth to those shivering in the cold. Wrap them in warm embraces, which is the master key that opens the gates of hope and happiness.
