Karikó was born in January 1955, in a small village in Hungary. She had an ambition from early on to become a scientist. As a young adult, she became interested in mRNA, which carries DNA instructions to the protein-making engine of cells. She hoped that mRNA could play a key role in the treatment of various diseases. It became her mission to make her dream a reality to help cure patients. However, Karikó faced a shortage of money for her research in her country, and she then faced the choice of stop ping and doing something not connected to her mission or continuing her research at the price of having to leave her country. After searching for posts and scholarships worldwide, Karikó accepted an offer from Temple University in Philadelphia for a postdoctoral fellowship. Karikó and her husband gave up everything they had in their homeland and bought a one-way ticket to the U. S., where they knew no one. She was aware of the risks but didn’t feel discouraged. As she put it in an award acceptance speech, “Follow your dreams and don’t hesitate to learn anything from anyone.” She was initially on track to become a full professor but received repeated fund rejections. Undeterred by the problems and challenges, she chose to continue her research. By focusing on what mattered to her every day, she “accidentally” met her work partner Drew Weissman who was also interested in mRNA. They teamed up to work on mRNA and published papers about their groundbreaking discovery for years. Then the pandemic hit the world. The changed mRNA technology Karikó and Weissman invented was then used in vaccines that prevented the infection effectively. Karikó’s life is a testament to finding one’s passion and then pursuing it every single day. Many of us know what we are fond of, but we are not good self-motivators on a daily basis. 4. What can we learn about Karikó from paragraph 2? A. She had a clear sense of purpose. B. She was poor when she was young. C. She was hesitant to leave her country. D. She longed to be a doctor to cure patients. 5. What does the underlined part “Undeterred by” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Being afraid of. B. Not motivated by. C. Being unaware of. D. Not discouraged by. 6. What is probably the main contribution of Karikó? A. Simplifying the mRNA technology. B. Making the structure of mRNA clear. C. Laying the foundation for mRNA vaccines. D. Developing a vaccine for a serious disease. 7. What can we learn from Karikó’s success? A. Every minute counts. B. Two heads are better than one. C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D. Necessity is the mother of invention. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了科学家Katalin Kariku的个人经历以及对梦想不懈追求，最终取得成功。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“She had an ambition from early on to become a scientist. As a young adult, she became interested in mRNA, which carries DNA instructions to the protein-making engine of cells. She hoped that mRNA could play a key role in the treatment of various diseases. It became her mission to make her dream a reality to help cure patients. (她从小就立志要成为一名科学家。作为一个年轻的成年人，她开始对mRNA感兴趣，它携带DNA指令到细胞的蛋白质制造引擎。她希望mRNA能够在各种疾病的治疗中发挥关键作用。帮助治愈病人成为了她的使命。)”可知，卡里库有明确的目标感。故选A。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“She was initially on track to become a full professor but received repeated fund rejections. (她最初有望成为一名正教授，但一再遭到基金拒绝。)”以及后文“the problems and challenges, she chose to continue her research”可知，她一再被基金拒绝，但是没有因为问题和挑战而气馁，选择继续她的研究。故划线词意思是“不气馁”。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“They teamed up to work on mRNA and published papers about their groundbreaking discovery for years. Then the pandemic hit the world. The changed mRNA technology Karikó and Weissman invented was then used in vaccines that prevented the infection effectively. (他们合作研究mRNA，并发表了多年关于这一突破性发现的论文。然后，大流行袭击了世界。Kariku和Weissman发明的改变后的mRNA技术随后被用于有效预防感染的疫苗。)”可知，卡里库的主要贡献是为mRNA疫苗奠定基础。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Karikó’s life is a testament to finding one’s passion and then pursuing it every single day. Many of us know what we are fond of, but we are not good self-motivators on a daily basis. (卡里库的一生证明了找到自己的激情，然后每一天都在追求它。我们中的许多人都知道自己喜欢什么，但在日常生活中，我们并不善于自我激励。)”可知，卡里库的成功告诉我们有志者，事竟成。故选C。 C A modern problem of the outdoor lifestyle is how to keep your devices powered. Battery packs are one option, but they have limited use and can be rather heavy. The team at Aurea Technologies has come to the rescue with the Shine Turbine, a lightweight wind-powered turbine (涡轮机) that offers renewable energy to outdoor enthusiasts who need to re charge electronic devices. Last year, the Shine Turbine launched a campaign that was fully funded in a matter of hours, highlighting the level of interest in this innovative product. Designed in Nova Scotia, Canada, the turbine weighs in at just three pounds and is about the size of a water bottle for easy pack-and-go accessibility. While out backpacking or working remotely, the Shine Turbine takes just a few minutes to set up. There are no loose pieces to worry about losing while you f old out the high-efficiency blades and place the turbine on the retractable stand (可伸缩支架). Everything you need is stored inside the container. This clean energy option also has battery storage, so you can charge your devices as the wind blows. Then you can take it with you for more charging later. It can also be pre - charged before you head out using a standard wall outlet. “Wind is the second-largest producer of clean energy in the world, yet most people don’t have direct access to it. As a team of outdoor enthusiasts with backgrounds in science and engineering, we set out to create a wind power product that gives users the freedom to produce their own clean energy day or night, rain, cloud, or shine,” said Cat Adalay, CEO and founder of Aurea Technologies. The portable design makes it convenient to use for day trip s to the beach or mountains, camping trips or as an emergency backup. “To live sustainably (可持续地), we need to rethink the ways in which we create and use energy,” added Adalay. “The simplicity of our design, two-minute setup, and ability to rapidly generate and store power, does just that. It’s a game-changer in allowing people to access wind energy in the wind.” 8. What can we learn about the Shine Turbine from the text? A. It is intelligent and works efficiently. B. It is user- friendly but expensive to buy. C. It is sustainable and convenient to carry. D. It is cost- effective but breaks down easily. 9. What kind of people might need the Shine Turbine most according to the text? A. Emergency rescuers. B. Sea surfboarders. C. Rock- climbing lovers. D. Geological explorers. 10. Why do the researchers create the Shine Turbine? A. Their product obtains financial support. B. They want to gain direct access to wind. C. They attempt to prevent global warming. D. Their desired life promotes green rethink. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Wind: the world’s second clean energy B. Aurea Technologies: innovative pioneers C. The Shine Turbine: a green power product D. Outdoor lovers: environment campaigners 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种Shine涡轮机，具有可持续以及方便携带的特点。文章介绍了其应用场所以及发明背后的理念。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Designed in Nova Scotia, Canada, the turbine weighs in at just three pounds and is about the size of a water bottle for easy pack-and-go accessibility.(在加拿大新斯科舍省设计，涡轮机重量只有3磅，大约是一个水瓶的大小，便于打包和携带)”和第三段“This clean energy option also has battery storage, so you can charge your devices as the wind blows.(这种清洁能源也有电池存储功能，所以你可以在刮风的时候给你的设备充电)”可知，Shine涡轮机是可持续的，方便携带。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The portable design makes it convenient to use for day trip s to the beach or mountains, camping trips or as an emergency backup.(便携的设计使它在去海滩或山区的一日游、露营旅行或作为紧急备份时使用方便)”可知，攀岩爱好者可能最需要Shine涡轮机。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““To live sustainably (可持续地), we need to rethink the ways in which we create and use energy,” added Adalay.(“为了可持续地生活，我们需要重新思考我们创造和使用能源的方式，”Adalay补充说)”可知，研究人员制造Shine涡轮机是因为他们向往的生活促进了对绿色的反思。故选D。 11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The team at Aurea Technologies has come to the rescue with the Shine Turbine, a lightweight wind-powered turbine (涡轮机) that offers renewable energy to outdoor enthusiasts who need to re charge electronic devices.(Aurea科技公司的研究小组推出了Shine涡轮机，这是一种轻型风力涡轮机，为需要给电子设备充电的户外爱好者提供可再生能源)”以及文章主要介绍了一种Shine涡轮机，具有可持续以及方便携带的特点。文章介绍了其应用场所以及发明背后的理念。可知，C选项“Shine涡轮机：绿色能源产品”最符合文章标题。故选C。 D Due to social events in recent years, the relationship between social media and teenagers mental health has been under heated discussion. On Sept 30 a British court decided that content on social media platforms contributed to the depression of 14-year-old Molly Russell. Russell interacted with 2,100 posts related to pessimistic, self-harm in the six months, leading up to her depression, reported the Observer website. The correlation has also been proved by science. A study in 2019 showed that the frequent use of social media by teenagers can lead to a decrease in their mental health. So, how can we make sure that teenagers won’t get hurt while using social media? Chan, 18, from the University of Macao shared her experience. Chan said that she once came across short videos romanticizing mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. She immediately reported them to the platform. But she said that the users’ power to regulate videos is still limited. “It is ultimately the responsibility of the social media platforms to filter out content that is potentially harmful.” She also noticed that the age of social media users has become increasingly younger. Society should pay attention to this, she said. “Since it’s not possible to cut off access to social media for younger users, why not introduce a ‘supervision mode’ with which parents can regulate the content to be viewed by teenagers beforehand?” she said. Wu Chengyu, 18, studies at Tianjin Experimental High School. He said that several years ago he came across a game that lures teenagers to self-abuse and depression. He quickly chose to ignore it so he wouldn’t be influenced. This is the same way he reacts when exposed to negative content on social media. In Wu’s opinion, teenagers today should improve their social media literacy (素养), telling real from fake and good from bad. “Also, everyone can be a content creator on social media.” he said, “We should all strengthen our awareness of ethics”. 12. What led to Russell’s depression according to a British court? A. Her interaction with others online. B. Negative information on social media platforms. C. Short videos she watched on the Internet. D. Her addiction to online posts. 13. Which of the following statements does Chan probably agree with? A. The number of younger Social media users should be limited. B. Parents should monitor the content to be viewed by teenagers in advance. C. A supervision mode ought to be introduced by parents. D. It is the responsibility of the society to romanticize mental illnesses. 14. Who should be ultimately responsible for removing negative content according to Chan? A. Parents. B. Social media platforms C. Content creators. D. Social media platforms. 15. What does Wu suggest teenagers should do? A. Use social media wisely. B. Reduce social media usage. C. Stay away from online games. D. Learn more about social media. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了社交媒体与青少年心理健康之间的关系并提出一些建议防止社交媒体危害青少年心理健康。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Russell interacted with 2,100 posts related to pessimistic, self-harm in the six months, leading up to her depression, reported the Observer website. (据《观察家报》网站报道，在Russell患上抑郁症的6个月里，她浏览了2100条有关悲观、自残的帖子。)”可知，是因为社交媒体平台上的负面信息导致了她的抑郁症。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Since it’s not possible to cut off access to social media for younger users, why not introduce a ‘supervision mode’ with which parents can regulate the content to be viewed by teenagers beforehand? (既然不可能切断年轻用户对社交媒体的访问，为什么不引入一种“监督模式”，父母可以事先监管青少年观看的内容？)”可知，她认为家长应该提前监控青少年观看的内容。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“It is ultimately the responsibility of the social media platforms to filter out content that is potentially harmful. (过滤掉可能有害的内容，最终是社交媒体平台的责任。)”可知，她认为社交媒体平台应该最终负责删除负面内容。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In Wu’s opinion, teenagers today should improve their social media literacy(素养), telling real from fake and good from bad. (在Wu看来，今天的青少年应该提高他们的社交媒体素养，辨别真假和好坏。)”可知，Wu建议青少年应该理智使用社交媒体。故选A。 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Confidence helps us take risks and push ourselves to excellence.It can also inspire more trust in other people and open doors that would remain closed otherwise.Here are a few ideas on how to build up your confidence.

B Katalin Karikó along with her colleague Drew Weissman won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2023 for the development of messenger RNA (mRNA) technology. Karikó was born in January 1955, in a small village in Hungary. She had an ambition from early on to become a scientist. As a young adult, she became interested in mRNA, which carries DNA instructions to the protein-making engine of cells. She hoped that mRNA could play a key role in the treatment of various diseases. It became her mission to make her dream a reality to help cure patients. However, Karikó faced a shortage of money for her research in her country, and she then faced the choice of stop ping and doing something not connected to her mission or continuing her research at the price of having to leave her country. After searching for posts and scholarships worldwide, Karikó accepted an offer from Temple University in Philadelphia for a postdoctoral fellowship. Karikó and her husband gave up everything they had in their homeland and bought a one-way ticket to the U. S., where they knew no one. She was aware of the risks but didn’t feel discouraged. As she put it in an award acceptance speech, “Follow your dreams and don’t hesitate to learn anything from anyone.” She was initially on track to become a full professor but received repeated fund rejections. Undeterred by the problems and challenges, she chose to continue her research. By focusing on what mattered to her every day, she “accidentally” met her work partner Drew Weissman who was also interested in mRNA. They teamed up to work on mRNA and published papers about their groundbreaking discovery for years. Then the pandemic hit the world. The changed mRNA technology Karikó and Weissman invented was then used in vaccines that prevented the infection effectively.

The team at Aurea Technologies has come to the rescue with the Shine Turbine, a lightweight wind-powered turbine (涡轮机) that offers renewable energy to outdoor enthusiasts who need to re charge electronic devices. Last year, the Shine Turbine launched a campaign that was fully funded in a matter of hours, highlighting the level of interest in this innovative product. Designed in Nova Scotia, Canada, the turbine weighs in at just three pounds and is about the size of a water bottle for easy pack-and-go accessibility. While out backpacking or working remotely, the Shine Turbine takes just a few minutes to set up. There are no loose pieces to worry about losing while you f old out the high-efficiency blades and place the turbine on the retractable stand (可伸缩支架). Everything you need is stored inside the container. This clean energy option also has battery storage, so you can charge your devices as the wind blows. Then you can take it with you for more charging later. It can also be pre - charged before you head out using a standard wall outlet. “Wind is the second-largest producer of clean energy in the world, yet most people don’t have direct access to it. As a team of outdoor enthusiasts with backgrounds in science and engineering, we set out to create a wind power product that gives users the freedom to produce their own clean energy day or night, rain, cloud, or shine,” said Cat Adalay, CEO and founder of Aurea Technologies. The portable design makes it convenient to use for day trip s to the beach or mountains, camping trips or as an emergency backup. “To live sustainably (可持续地), we need to rethink the ways in which we create and use energy,” added Adalay. “The simplicity of our design, two-minute setup, and ability to rapidly generate and store power, does just that. It’s a game-changer in allowing people to access wind energy in the wind.” 8. What can we learn about the Shine Turbine from the text? A. It is intelligent and works efficiently. B. It is user- friendly but expensive to buy. C. It is sustainable and convenient to carry. D. It is cost- effective but breaks down easily. 9. What kind of people might need the Shine Turbine most according to the text? A. Emergency rescuers. B. Sea surfboarders. C. Rock- climbing lovers. D. Geological explorers. 10. Why do the researchers create the Shine Turbine? A. Their product obtains financial support. B. They want to gain direct access to wind. C. They attempt to prevent global warming. D. Their desired life promotes green rethink. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Wind: the world’s second clean energy B. Aurea Technologies: innovative pioneers C. The Shine Turbine: a green power product D. Outdoor lovers: environment campaigners D Due to social events in recent years, the relationship between social media and teenagers mental health has been under heated discussion. On Sept 30 a British court decided that content on social media platforms contributed to the depression of 14-year-old Molly Russell. Russell interacted with 2,100 posts related to pessimistic, self-harm in the six months, leading up to her depression, reported the Observer website. The correlation has also been proved by science. A study in 2019 showed that the frequent use of social media by teenagers can lead to a decrease in their mental health. So, how can we make sure that teenagers won’t get hurt while using social media? Chan, 18, from the University of Macao shared her experience. Chan said that she once came across short videos romanticizing mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. She immediately reported them to the platform. But she said that the users’ power to regulate videos is still limited. “It is ultimately the responsibility of the social media platforms to filter out content that is potentially harmful.” She also noticed that the age of social media users has become increasingly younger. Society should pay attention to this she said. “Since it’s not possible to cut off access to social media for younger users, why not introduce a ‘supervision mode’ with which parents can regulate the content to be viewed by teenagers beforehand?” she said. Wu Chengyu, 18, studies at Tianjin Experimental High School. He said that several years ago he came across a game that lures teenagers to self-abuse and depression. He quickly chose to ignore it so he wouldn’t be influenced. This is the same way he reacts when exposed to negative content on social media. In Wu’s opinion, teenagers today should improve their social media literacy (素养), telling real from fake and good from bad. “Also, everyone can be a content creator on social media.” he said, “We should all strengthen our awareness of ethics”. 12. What led to Russell’s depression according to a British court? A Her interaction with others online. B. Negative information on social media platforms. C. Short videos she watched on the Internet. D. Her addiction to online posts. 13. Which of the following statements does Chan probably agree with? A. The number of younger Social media users should be limited. B. Parents should monitor the content to be viewed by teenagers in advance. C. A supervision mode ought to be introduced by parents. D. It is the responsibility of the society to romanticize mental illnesses. 14. Who should be ultimately responsible for removing negative content according to Chan? A. Parents. B. Social media platforms C. Content creators. D. Social media platforms. 15. What does Wu suggest teenagers should do? A. Use social media wisely. B. Reduce social media usage. C. Stay away from online games. D. Learn more about social media. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Confidence helps us take risks and push ourselves to excellence.It can also inspire more trust in other people and open doors that would remain closed otherwise.Here are a few ideas on how to build up your confidence.
