When 89-year-old Li Jinrong heard someone calling her “mom” at an event in Wuhan, Hubei Province, she immediately rose from her seat. A foreign woman ran toward her before hugging her tightly and saying, “Mom, mom.”
The woman, Bouammouch Kheira, is from Algeria. She underwent a total nasal reconstruction operation (全鼻再造手术) — the first of its kind in Africa — that was done by Li and other members of a Chinese medical team 40 years ago. In 1984, Li joined the 11th Chinese medical aid mission to Algeria. She helped a hospital in the North African country carry out oral (口腔的) and facial operations. In 1985, 12-year-old Kheira visited the hospital to seek treatment for a stomach infection. Doctor Li happened to notice Kheira’s badly disfigured (容貌受损的) nose, the tip of which was bitten off by a donkey when she was just 2 years old.
“Had she not been disfigured, she would have grown up to be a great beauty,” Li said. Then she devised a detailed treatment plan and decided to transplant the skin from one of Kheira’s upper arms to reconstruct her nose, because it matched her facial skin tone and would not leave noticeable scars.
Though scared at first, Li’s sincere attitude and caring words reminded her of her mother and gave her hope. The reconstruction of Kheira’s nose required four operations over a period of two months. After its perfect completion, Kheira ran from ward (病房) to ward, telling everyone that she now had a nose, a gift from her “Chinese mother”.
Kheira travelled 10,000 kilometers from Algeria to Wuhan. “This is my first visit to China, but I don’t feel the journey was hard at all, because I am so excited to meet Professor Li, my Chinese mother,” Kheira added, “Without my Chinese mother, my life would be darker than death,”
4. Why did Kheira go to the hospital in 1985?
A. She went to visit doctor Li by design. B. Her nose tip was bitten off by a donkey.
C. She longed to learn about facial operations. D. There was something wrong with her stomach.
5. What do we know about the operation performed on Kheira?
A. It left no scars on Kheira’ body. B. It made Kheira’s life more positive.
C. It was the first of this kind in the world. D. It was finished totally in one significant operation.
6. Which of the following words can be used to describe Professor Li?
A. Caring and considerate. B. Honest and energetic.
C. Humble and passionate. D. Selfless and ambitious.
7. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Mother of an African Girl. B. A Heart-warming Reunion.
C. The Striking Nasal Operation. D. Contributions of Chinese Medical Teams.
C
The Paris Olympics are getting ready to defend against cyberattacks (网络攻击), with the threat possibly coming from criminals.
“We are worried about everything from the broadcasters to the sponsors, transport infrastructures (基础设施) and support, and competitions. Any kind of attack is on the table,” said John Hultquist, an analyst at Mandiant Consulting, a US cybersecurity consultancy firm.
His concern is reasonable, as cyberattacks are surprisingly common during the Olympic Games. The first cyberattack on the Olympics was in Montreal in 1976. Many events had to be postponed or moved because of the 48-hour electrical disruption. Tokyo Olympics in 2021 reported 450 million cyberattacks — which doubled the number experienced during the 2012 London Olympics.
However, it’s important to note that the Paris Olympics will make the first attempt to take heavy advantage of artificial intelligence (AI) in its operation. “AI will have a huge impact on us,” a senior French military official stated. “It will allow us to rearrange data faster and extract key events, which will help fight back.” However, he also warned that there are many enemies and the resources may not be enough to deal with all possible attacks.
These attacks could target gyms, local transportation such as trains and subways, Paris’ electricity and water systems, phone networks, and media reporting of the Games. The highest risk involves disruption of infrastructures and broadcasts. Furthermore, attacks could extend beyond the Games with the spread of fake videos about the events. Deepfake videos could be used to distract from the reality of particular events.
Hultquist also warned that competition results could be tampered (篡改) with, highlighting the potential for interference (干扰) with cameras, timekeeping devices, and scoreboards. Talking about the importance of data security, he recommended keeping systems isolated (隔离的) and using paper backups for scores to ensure their security.
8. What does the underlined phrase “on the table” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Ready. B. Harmful. C. Possible. D. Preventable.
9. Why are many Olympics in the history mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To give the evidence of John’s worry. B. To specify the figures of the cyberattacks.
C. To highlight the sharp increase in cyberattacks. D. To illustrate the bad effect caused by the disruption.
10. What is the senior French military official’s attitude toward the use of AI in the Paris Olympics?
A. Curious but opposed. B. Positive and optimistic.
C. Supportive but cautious. D. Uninterested and doubtful.
11. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?
A. The high risks and their influences.
B. Safety concerns of the event and the solutions.
C. The impact of deepfake videos and related measures.
D. The potential interference and the importance of security.
D
Have you ever wondered about the universal layout (布局) of supermarkets? Smart designers are behind it, subtly tempting you to walk through each aisle and fill your shopping cart without even realizing it.
Grocery store design is a carefully crafted art from both psychological and marketing standpoints, according to Reeves Connelly, who studied architectural design at the Pratt Institute. He explained there is a specific reason why fruit and vegetables are often located at the front of the store, “You’ll grab the fruits and vegetables first and then hopefully feel less guilty about buying junk food later on.” Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy options like snacks and sodas, potentially increasing the likelihood of impulse purchases.
There’s also a reason why you often feel lost in local supermarkets. Shockingly, they move things around. Reeves explained, “They are very much aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times and get a better sense of where everything is, so they’ll regularly move the products to different aisles to con fuse you. The practice is not limited to a specific store but is employed across various retail chains.”
“Their little tricks always work on me,” one regular shopper admits, “I walk in to get three things and end up spending $300; that’s why I hate grocery shopping,” he said. On the other hand, some shoppers are proud to declare they have never fallen into the trap. “That’s why I always keep a shopping list on me,” another shopper shared. “I’ve started having my groceries delivered. If I have to go to the store, I never grab a trolley. If I can’t carry it, I’m not buying it,” he added.
12. What is the purpose of the supermarket layout?
A. To show the designer’s wisdom. B. To save consumers’ shopping time.
C. To increase non-essential purchases. D. To provide multiple goods for choice.
13. What would the store owner probably do to make more profits?
A. Put the healthy food together. B. Distribute junk food in different areas.
C. Place essential items before junk food. D. Rearrange products in supermarkets regularly.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Most shoppers are trapped in marketing tricks.
B. Shopping baskets are better than heavy trolleys.
C. Making lists can be a smart act for impulse buying.
D. Grocery delivery can help improve supermarket sales.
15. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A business magazine. B. A psychology report.
C. A research paper. D. A shopping guide.

There was a time in my life twenty years ago when I was driving a taxi to earn a living. I encountered people whose lives amazed me, made me laugh and made me weep. But none of those lives touched me more than that of a woman I picked up late on a warm August night.
That night, I was called at 2:00 am to pick someone up. When I arrived, the building was completely dark except for one light in a window. In this case, many other drivers would just honk (按喇叭) once or twice, wait a short minute, then drive away.
But I always went to the door to find the passenger. It might, I reasoned, be someone who needed my assistance. I walked to the door and knocked. “Just a minute,” answered a weak and elderly voice. After a long wait, the door opened. A small woman in her 80s stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
“Would you carry my bag out to the car?” she said. I took her suitcase and gave her my arm. We walked slowly to the street. She kept thanking me for my kindness.
“It’s nothing,” I told her. “I try to treat my passengers how I want my mother treated.”
“You’re such a good boy” she said. When we got in the taxi, she gave me an address. Then she asked, “Could you drive through the downtown?”
“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered.
“I don’t mind,” she said. “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终安养院).” I saw her eyes shining with tears.
“I don’t have any family left, she continued. “The doctor says I should go there. He says I don’t have very long.”
I quietly turned off the meter (计程器). “What road do you want me to take?” I asked.

When 89-year-old Li Jinrong heard someone calling her “mom” at an event in Wuhan, Hubei Province, she immediately rose from her seat. A foreign woman ran toward her before hugging her tightly and saying, “Mom, mom.”
The woman, Bouammouch Kheira, is from Algeria. She underwent a total nasal reconstruction operation (全鼻再造手术) — the first of its kind in Africa — that was done by Li and other members of a Chinese medical team 40 years ago. In 1984, Li joined the 11th Chinese medical aid mission to Algeria. She helped a hospital in the North African country carry out oral (口腔的) and facial operations. In 1985, 12-year-old Kheira visited the hospital to seek treatment for a stomach infection. Doctor Li happened to notice Kheira’s badly disfigured (容貌受损的) nose, the tip of which was bitten off by a donkey when she was just 2 years old.
“Had she not been disfigured, she would have grown up to be a great beauty,” Li said. Then she devised a detailed treatment plan and decided to transplant the skin from one of Kheira’s upper arms to reconstruct her nose, because it matched her facial skin tone and would not leave noticeable scars.
Though scared at first, Li’s sincere attitude and caring words reminded her of her mother and gave her hope. The reconstruction of Kheira’s nose required four operations over a period of two months. After its perfect completion, Kheira ran from ward (病房) to ward, telling everyone that she now had a nose, a gift from her “Chinese mother”.
Kheira travelled 10,000 kilometers from Algeria to Wuhan. “This is my first visit to China, but I don’t feel the journey was hard at all, because I am so excited to meet Professor Li, my Chinese mother,” Kheira added, “Without my Chinese mother, my life would be darker than death,”

The Paris Olympics are getting ready to defend against cyberattacks (网络攻击), with the threat possibly coming from criminals.
“We are worried about everything from the broadcasters to the sponsors, transport infrastructures (基础设施) and support, and competitions. Any kind of attack is on the table,” said John Hultquist, an analyst at Mandiant Consulting, a US cybersecurity consultancy firm.
His concern is reasonable, as cyberattacks are surprisingly common during the Olympic Games. The first cyberattack on the Olympics was in Montreal in 1976. Many events had to be postponed or moved because of the 48-hour electrical disruption. Tokyo Olympics in 2021 reported 450 million cyberattacks — which doubled the number experienced during the 2012 London Olympics.
However, it’s important to note that the Paris Olympics will make the first attempt to take heavy advantage of artificial intelligence (AI) in its operation. “AI will have a huge impact on us,” a senior French military official stated. “It will allow us to rearrange data faster and extract key events, which will help fight back.” However, he also warned that there are many enemies and the resources may not be enough to deal with all possible attacks.
These attacks could target gyms, local transportation such as trains and subways, Paris’ electricity and water systems, phone networks, and media reporting of the Games. The highest risk involves disruption of infrastructures and broadcasts. Furthermore, attacks could extend beyond the Games with the spread of fake videos about the events. Deepfake videos could be used to distract from the reality of particular events.
Hultquist also warned that competition results could be tampered (篡改) with, highlighting the potential for interference (干扰) with cameras, timekeeping devices, and scoreboards. Talking about the importance of data security, he recommended keeping systems isolated (隔离的) and using paper backups for scores to ensure their security.
8. What does the underlined phrase “on the table” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Ready. B. Harmful. C. Possible. D. Preventable.
9. Why are many Olympics in the history mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To give the evidence of John’s worry. B. To specify the figures of the cyberattacks.
C. To highlight the sharp increase in cyberattacks. D. To illustrate the bad effect caused by the disruption.
10. What is the senior French military official’s attitude toward the use of AI in the Paris Olympics?
A. Curious but opposed. B. Positive and optimistic.
C. Supportive but cautious. D. Uninterested and doubtful.
11. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?
A. The high risks and their influences.
B. Safety concerns of the event and the solutions.
C. The impact of deepfake videos and related measures.
D. The potential interference and the importance of security.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. B

Have you ever wondered about the universal layout (布局) of supermarkets? Smart designers are behind it, subtly tempting you to walk through each aisle and fill your shopping cart without even realizing it.
Grocery store design is a carefully crafted art from both psychological and marketing standpoints, according to Reeves Connelly, who studied architectural design at the Pratt Institute. He explained there is a specific reason why fruit and vegetables are often located at the front of the store, “You’ll grab the fruits and vegetables first and then hopefully feel less guilty about buying junk food later on.” Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy options like snacks and sodas, potentially increasing the likelihood of impulse purchases.
There’s also a reason why you often feel lost in local supermarkets. Shockingly, they move things around. Reeves explained, “They are very much aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times and get a better sense of where everything is, so they’ll regularly move the products to different aisles to con fuse you. The practice is not limited to a specific store but is employed across various retail chains.”
“Their little tricks always work on me,” one regular shopper admits, “I walk in to get three things and end up spending $300; that’s why I hate grocery shopping,” he said. On the other hand, some shoppers are proud to declare they have never fallen into the trap. “That’s why I always keep a shopping list on me,” another shopper shared. “I’ve started having my groceries delivered. If I have to go to the store, I never grab a trolley. If I can’t carry it, I’m not buying it,” he added.
12. What is the purpose of the supermarket layout?
A. To show the designer’s wisdom. B. To save consumers’ shopping time.
C. To increase non-essential purchases. D. To provide multiple goods for choice.
13. What would the store owner probably do to make more profits?
A. Put the healthy food together. B. Distribute junk food in different areas.
C. Place essential items before junk food. D. Rearrange products in supermarkets regularly.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Most shoppers are trapped in marketing tricks.
B. Shopping baskets are better than heavy trolleys.
C. Making lists can be a smart act for impulse buying.
D. Grocery delivery can help improve supermarket sales.
15. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A business magazine. B. A psychology report.
C. A research paper. D. A shopping guide.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了超市布局背后促进非必要消费的特殊原因以及建议。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy options like snacks and sodas, potentially increasing the likelihood of impulse purchases.(与此同时,牛奶和鸡蛋等必需品被放在商店的后面,以确保顾客穿过其他过道,有许多不健康的选择,如零食和苏打水,这可能会增加冲动购物的可能性)”可知,超市布局的目的是促进非必要消费。故选C。
【13题详解】

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类对太空探索的不懈追求,从苏联发射第一颗人造卫星到国际空间站的建立,以及中国航天事业的迅速发展,展现了各国在太空探索领域的重大成就与合作。
【36题详解】
考查介词。 句意:尽管存在巨大风险,但他们非常重视进行太空探索。空处需要介词despite,表示“尽管存在巨大的风险”,和后面的名词组合在句中作状语。故填despite。
【37题详解】
考查名词。 句意:一些伟大的科学家以坚定的决心最终实现了进入太空的不可能之梦。空处需要名词形式作介词的宾语。determine的名词形式为determination“决心”,不可数。故填determination。
【38题详解】
考查副词。 句意:1957年,苏联发射了人造卫星Sputnik 1号,并成功地绕地球轨道运行。空处需要副词successfully修饰动词orbited,表示“成功地”。故填successfully。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。 句意:八年后,美国宇航员尼尔·阿姆斯特朗登上月球,宣称:“这是个人的一小步,却是人类的一大步。”句中已有谓语动词,空处需要现在分词作伴随状语,描述或补充说明主句的动作,它表明两个动作几乎是同时发生的。故填claiming。
【40题详解】
考查时态和语态。 句意:从那以后,更多的目标已经实现。空处是句子的谓语动词。根据时间状语Since then可知,句子用现在完成时,该动词和主语之间为被动关系,所以用现在完成时态的被动语态,主语为复数。故填have been achieved。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。 句意:国际空间站是科学家们可以在其中生活和进行太空研究的地方,这是展现人类共同努力和持续工作的良好例证。空处需要关系副词where引导定语从句,修饰先行词The International Space Station,并在从句中作地点状语。故填where。
【42题详解】
考查代词。 句意:虽然中国的太空计划起步比俄罗斯和美国晚,但在短时间内取得了巨大进步。空处需要使用代词指代前文提到space programmes,因为空缺处代表复数概念,所以用代词those。those指代和前文中同类不同物的复数名词,实际此处指的是“Russia’s and the US’s space programmes”。故填those。
【43题详解】
考查不定式作后置定语。 句意:中国是第三个独立将人类送入太空的国家。空处需要非谓动词作定语修饰country。因为名词前面有序数词third修饰,所以此处需要动词不定式作后置定语。故填to send。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。 句意:天宫空间站的建成也是中国太空发展的里程碑。landmark为可数名词“里程碑”,空处需要冠词表示泛指,此处指一个里程碑。空后的名词landmark为辅音音素开始的单词,所以需要用不定冠词a。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查形容词比较级。 句意:尽管困难重重,但未来是光明的。更多的国家将对其他行星进行更深入的研究,并取得更有价值的发现。空处需要形容词比较级further,表示“更进一步的”,与more valuable discoveries相呼应,表达程度上的递进。故填further。

【答案】Say No to School Bullying
I am honored to deliver a speech on the pressing issue of school bullying. School bullying is a serious problem that takes various forms, including physical violence, verbal abuse and social exclusion. These actions do great harm to victims, leading to feelings of fear, isolation, and low self-esteem. So it is crucial to say “No” to school bullying. We can launch campaigns to educate ourselves and others on the harmful impacts of school bullying as well as promote a culture of empathy and respect within our school community.

Together I am sure we will create a bully-free campus! Thank you for your listening.

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。
There was a time in my life twenty years ago when I was driving a taxi to earn a living. I encountered people whose lives amazed me, made me laugh and made me weep. But none of those lives touched me more than that of a woman I picked up late on a warm August night.
That night I was called at 2:00 am to pick someone up. When I arrived, the building was completely dark except for one light in a window. In this case, many other drivers would just honk (按喇叭) once or twice, wait a short minute, then drive away.
But I always went to the door to find the passenger. It might, I reasoned, be someone who needed my assistance. I walked to the door and knocked. “Just a minute,” answered a weak and elderly voice. After a long wait, the door opened. A small woman in her 80s stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
“Would you carry my bag out to the car?” she said. I took her suitcase and gave her my arm. We walked slowly to the street. She kept thanking me for my kindness.
“It’s nothing,” I told her. “I try to treat my passengers how I want my mother treated.”
“You’re such a good boy,” she said. When we got in the taxi, she gave me an address. Then she asked, “Could you drive through the downtown?”
“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered.
“I don’t mind,” she said. “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终安养院).” I saw her eyes shining with tears.
“I don’t have any family left, she continued. “The doctor says I should go there. He says I don’t have very long.”
I quietly turned off the meter (计程器). “What road do you want me to take?” I asked.
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。
Paragraph 1:
For the next two hours, we drove through the city.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I did not pick up any more passengers that day, driving aimlessly, lost in thought.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】For the next two hours we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked. We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived. Sometimes she’d ask me to slow in front of a particular building and stare into the darkness, saying nothing. When morning broke, we arrived at the address. She asked, “How much should I pay you?” “Nothing,” I said. She thanked me and said, “You give an old woman a little moment of joy.” Then behind me, a door was shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life.
I did not pick up any more passengers that day, driving aimlessly, lost in thought. We’re conditioned to think that our lives center on great moments. But great moments catch us unawares. When that woman said that I had brought her a moment of joy, I had good reasons to believe that I had been placed on earth for the single purpose of providing her with that last ride. I do not think that I have ever done anything in my life that was any more important.

2.续写线索:凌晨去接乘客——带老妇人穿过城市:老妇人曾经工作生活留下记忆的地方——路程很长但是作者没有收取费用——给老妇人带来快乐——作者沉思——原先以为的生活中伟大的时刻多么措手不及——实际上给别人带来快乐就是伟大的事情
