As children, our mother always taught my brother and me the value of acquiring life skills. “It sets you apart and make you stand out,” she would say. While my brother chose the path of mastering musical instruments, I was attracted to the field of languages. Growing up in a multilingual household where Chinese, Cantonese, and English mixed, I felt it natural to continue exploring new linguistic(语言的)possibilities.
Languages fascinated me. I was attracted by the way words gracefully rolled off tongues and how each language seemed to unlock a door to an entirely new world, no matter how challenging they were to learn.
Eager to try beyond Asian languages, it was my mother who suggested French as a suitable starting point. The elegance and poetic charm of the language quickly attracted me. The melodic flow and the way the words effortlessly danced off my tongue caused an exciting feeling, fueling my desire to explore deeper into its complexity. Interestingly, despite my passion and talent for it, French proved to be the language that took the longest to fully grasp. Nevertheless, I insisted and never gave up expanding my linguistic arsenal (宝库).
After realizing that Spanish wasn’t the right fit for me, I found myself addicted to the fascinating world of German. Being enrolled (就读) in a German-speaking school speeded my progress, and two years later, my command of German surpassed my years of studying French. As time passed, I added Latin, Ancient Greek, and Japanese to my linguistic arsenal.
It fact, speaking multiple languages is not a mere achievement; it is a joyous celebration of the richness of human expression. For me, it serves as a powerful tool to develop connections with people all over the world.
24. Why did the author’s mother teach her children the importance of acquiring life skills?
A. It is part of making a living. B. It is a tradition in their family.
C. It makes a person outstanding. D. It contributes to future success.
25. What did the author think of a new language?
A. It broadened her horizon. B. It increased her confidence.
C. It was necessary for her future. D. It was a valuable part of her life.
26. What can we know about the author’s learning French?
A. She quit it halfway. B. She found it challenging.
C. She considered it unsuitable. D. She showed little interest in it.
27. Which word can best describe the author?
A. Changeable. B. Independent.
C. Creative. D. Determined.
C
Age-related macular degeneration, or AMD, is an eye condition that affects millions of people around the world. In the UK, it is the biggest cause of sight loss. It’s caused by a loss of the nerves(神经)at the back of the eye. Even though it affects only a tiny area around the width of a human hair, its impact is life-changing. Patients experience a blurring (模糊) of vision, initially at the center of their gaze, which expands and worsens as time goes on. Recognizing faces or watching television can rapidly become impossible.
“This is why it’s such a difficult disease to deal with for patients: It affects the best bit first,” explains Lyndon Da Cruz, a surgeon at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, UK. Because nerve cells don’t regenerate (再生), the body cannot heal the condition itself, however scientists at King’s College London and Moorfields are working on a new technique to implant stem cells(干细胞)into the back of the eye.
A trial(实验)has already been successfully tested on two patients , both of whom went from being unable to read at all even with glasses, to reading 60 to 80 words per minute with normal reading glasses.
Operating on the eye is always delicate, but the precision(精准)involved in inserting the stem cells is right at the edge of the ability of even the most talented surgeons(外科医生). Therefore the team has been working with the University’s robotics department to create machines that can work with minute accuracy.
“It’s as if you cut the human hair 10 times and then you need to go with one of those tools in between those layers for two or three minutes stably while the patient is awake. And that’s not something that humans just can do. That’s where robots come in,”says Christos Bergeles, a robotics researcher at King’s.
Bergeles’ team has created a working model of an operating room equipped with a robotic arm that can translate the movement of a surgeon. For the moment, they operate only on model but one day they hope to be able to be restoring sight one cell at a time.
28. How does AMD affect people’s health?
A. It prevents cells from healing.
B. It can make people go blind.
C. It causes nerve problems.
D. It can damage human hair.
29. What’s the real difficulty in operating on the eye?
A. The accurancy needed in the operation. B. Lacking the right stem cells.
C. The stable movement of the surgeon. D. Cutting hair into very thin layers.
30. What can we infer about inserting the stem cells?
A. It is a piece of cake for brilliant surgeons.
B. It can simply be carried out by a professional robot.
C. It is almost a mission impossible for any surgeons alone.
D. It can be done by a robotic arm translating a surgeon’s movement.
31. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. A working model will be created to make a surgery.
B. A trial on two patients has successfully been tested.
C. The cause of sight loss has been found out to restore it.
D. Robots and stem cells can be combined to restore eyesight.
D
The rainforests of eastern Australia are home to a stinging (刺人的) tree known as Dendrocnide. Many people call it the gympie-gympie tree — a name given to the tree by indigenous Australians. It’s covered with sharp, needle-like hairs that carry poison. If you brush up against a gympie-gympie tree, you won’t forget it anytime soon. The pain can stay with you for hours, days or weeks. In some cases, it’s been reported to stay for months.
Scientists have long looked for the source of this powerful sting. Now researchers at the University of Queensland have discovered what makes this stinging plant so painful. After carefully studying different kinds of gympie-gympie trees, the scientists were able to separate out different chemicals that the trees produce. This allowed them to identify a group of chemicals that they believed was responsible for the pain.
The researchers created artificial versions of these chemicals, which they call “gympietides”. Sure enough, when the scientists injected mice with gympietides, the mice licked (舔) at the places where they’d been injected, indicating that they hurt in those places. When the scientists studied the way gympietides were built, they found that they formed a knot-like shape. The shape makes the chemical very stable, which helps explain how the pain lasts so long.
The knot-like shape of the gympietides was similar to the shape of poisons produced by poisonous spiders and con e snails. The scientists were surprised to see three very different kinds of life all use similar poisons. Spiders and con e snails carry poisons because they catch food by stinging other creatures. It’s not clear how stinging helps the gympie-gympie tree.
Though the tree’s sting may stop some animals from eating it, it doesn’t stop all animals. Beetles and pademelons (small relatives of the kangaroo) are able to eat the plant without trouble.
32. A touch on the stinging tree is unforgettable because ________.
A. it has an unusual appearance B. it is extremely rare in nature
C. the suffering caused by it remains long D. touching it creates a quite strange feeling
33. What do scientists fail to find out about the stinging tree?
A. How it produces poisons. B. What poisons it produces.
C. The consequences of its sting. D. How it benefits from the sting.
34. What does the text imply about the stinging tree?
A. It produces the same poisons as spiders.
B. Poisonous as it is, it also has natural enemies.
C. Animals are wise enough to stay away from it.
D. Only one chemical in it causes pain to the toucher.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Stinging Trees’ Secrets Exposed B. Warning: Trees That Can Poison You
C. Strange Tree Species Found in Australia D. Ways to Avoid Being Hurt by Stinging Trees

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
I didn’t like Del so much. He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too.
He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said.
The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone.
During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him.
Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言).
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。
At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game.

Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over.

【答案】My fellow students,
Our environment is becoming worse and worse. As students, what can we do to protect the environment?
To reduce white pollution, we should use fewer plastic bags when going shopping. Use cloth bags instead. We should try to reuse old textbooks, so people needn’t cut down more trees to make paper. In order to save energy, we should use the lift less and take the stairs instead. We should also save water and electricity. And we should plant more trees so that the air will be fresher. Besides, it would be better if we walk or ride a bike to school.
In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a difference to the environment. I believe that by working together we can make the world a better place to live in.

【答案】At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. Not wanting him to feel left out, I walked over and sat down beside him. “Hey Germy,” he said. “My name is Jamie.” I replied. I wanted to apologize for starting that rumor about him, but I was too ashamed to say it out loudly. “Del, do you want to play kickball with us?” I asked instead. He looked surprised but happy at the same time. After a moment of silence, he nodded his head.
Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. I stood up and shouted to the other kids, “Guys, come here! Let’s play kickball together! ” Some of them hesitated, but they eventually joined us. Del was smiling again and so were we. As we played, I realized that Del wasn’t as bad as I thought he was. He was just a normal kid who wanted to have fun and be accepted by others. From then on, whenever someone tried to start a rumor about him, I would stand up for him and tell them the truth about Del. We became good friends, and I learned an important lesson about judging people based on rumors.
