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 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. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. Which word can best describe the author? A. Changeable. B. Independent. C. Creative. D. Determined. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者不断学习新的语言的经历，从母亲的教导开始，作者对语言的魅力产生兴趣，逐渐学习掌握了法语、德语、拉丁语、古希腊语和日语等多种语言。通过学习不同的语言，作者感受到了人类表达的丰富性，进而认识到语言能够在更广阔的层面上促进人类之间的联系与团结。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“As children, our mother always taught my brother and me the value of acquiring life skills. “It sets you apart and make you distinguished,” she would say.(在我还是孩子的时候，母亲总是教导我和弟弟学习生活技能的重要性。“这让你与众不同，”她会说)”可知，作者的母亲重视获得生活技能是因为它使一个人脱颖而出。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“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.(我被语言优雅地从舌头上滑过的方式所吸引，每一种语言似乎都打开了一扇通往全新世界的大门，无论学习它们有多么具有挑战性)”可知，作者觉得一门新语言可以拓宽他的眼界。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“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.(流畅旋律和毫不费力地从我的舌头上跳下来的方式引起了一种激动人心的感觉，激发了我对其复杂性进行更深入探索的愿望。有趣的是，尽管我对法语充满热情和天赋，但事实证明法语是我花了最长时间才能完全掌握的语言)”可知，作者觉得法语是复杂的，学习它是有挑战性的。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Nevertheless, I insisted and never gave up expanding my linguistic arsenal (宝库).(然而，我坚持并且从未放弃扩大我的语言宝库)”和第四段中“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.(进入一所讲德语的学校加快了我的进步，两年后，我对德语的掌握超过了我学习法语的时间。随着时间的推移，我又增加了拉丁语、古希腊语和日语)”可知，虽然学习法语很难，但作者并未放弃，而且一直在学习新的语言。由此可知，作者是一个坚定的人。故选D。 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 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 into the back of the eye. A trial 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 involved in inserting the stem cells is right at the edge of the ability of even the most talented surgeons. 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. 8. 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. 9. What’s the real difficulty in operating on the eye? A. The precision needed in the operation. B. Lacking the right stem cells. C. The stable movement of the surgeon. D. Cutting hair into very thin layers. 10. 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. 11. 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. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了AMD使人丧失视力，但是通过机器人高精度植入干细胞可以使视力恢复。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“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. (年龄相关性黄斑变性（AMD）是一种影响全球数百万人的眼部疾病。在英国，它是视力丧失的最大原因。)”可知，AMD对人的影响主要表现在使人视力丧失，故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Operating on the eye is always delicate, but the precision involved in inserting the stem cells is right at the edge of the ability of even the most talented surgeons. Therefore the team has been working with the University’s robotics department to create machines that can work with minute accuracy. (眼睛手术总是很棘手，但插入干细胞所涉及的精度甚至是最有天赋的外科医生都无法做到的。因此，该团队一直在与大学的机器人部门合作，以创造能够以微小精度工作的机器。)”可知，眼科手术最大的困难在于操作中所需的精度。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Operating on the eye is always delicate, but the precision involved in inserting the stem cells is right at the edge of the ability of even the most talented surgeons. (眼睛手术总是很棘手，但插入干细胞所涉及的精度甚至是最有天赋的外科医生都无法做到的。)”和第五段中Christos Bergeles所述“And that’s not something that humans just can do. That’s where robots come in.(这不是人类能做到的。这就是机器人的用武之地。)”可知，植入干细胞需要精度高，需要机器人操作，对于外科医生来说这是不可能完成的。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通过文章第一段讲述了AMD会使人丧失视力；二、三段讲述了干细胞植入眼部后的实验测试；四、五段讲述了植入干细胞需要的精度非常高，需要机器人操作；最后一段讲述了配备机械臂的手术室；可知，文章的主旨是通过机器人高精度的植入干细胞可以使人恢复视力。故选D。 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. 12. 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 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. 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 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家对澳大利亚的金皮树进行研究，发现了其刺到人们导致疼痛的原因以及尽管这种树有毒，它也有天敌。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“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. (如果你碰一下进金皮树，你不会很快忘记它。疼痛会持续几个小时，几天甚至几周。据报道，据报道，在某些情况下，这种情况会持续数月)”可知，碰到金皮树会是让人难以忘记，因为它所造成的痛苦会持续很久。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“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.(科学家惊讶地发现三种不同种类的树都有相似的毒液。蜘蛛和锥形蜗牛携带毒素，因为它们通过刺其他生物来获取食物。科学家仍热不清楚刺是如何保护金皮树的)”可知，科学家没有发现金皮树的刺如何保护金皮树，故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“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.(尽管这种树的刺或许阻止一些动物吃它，但是它不会阻止所有的动物。甲虫和小松鼠（袋鼠的近亲）能够不费劲地吃到这种植物)”可知，尽管金皮树有毒，一些动物不能吃它，但是像甲虫和小松鼠就能吃到，这说明尽管金皮树有毒，它也是有天敌的。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“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.(澳大利亚东部的热带雨林是一种被称为石斛的刺树的家园。许多人称它为“gympie-gympie树”，这是澳大利亚土著给这种树起的名字。它身上覆盖着尖锐的针状毛发，携带着毒素。如果你碰到了一棵金皮树，你不会很快忘记的。疼痛可以持续数小时、数天或数周。据报道，在某些情况下，这种情况会持续数月)”结合文章主要介绍了科学家对澳大利亚的金皮树进行研究，发现了其刺到人们导致疼痛的原因以及尽管这种树有毒，它也有天敌。可知文章主要讲述了科学家对金皮树的研究，且发现了金皮树的秘密，A选项“金皮树的秘密暴露”最符合文章标题。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据下面短文，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。 Are you trying to find ways to be more effective at your job? If so, please follow these habits of naturally productive people. They take breaks. ____16____. Studies show that prolonged (长期的) tasks that require high levels of focus, energy, and attention can cause you to become less productive and focused over time. Take brief mental breaks. Setting aside a little time here and there to release your focus can significantly help maintain it for longer periods of time. ____17____. Settle down, super men and women. While it’s fine to pride yourself on your abilities to multitask, which means do several things at the same time, it’s in your best interest and your employer’s if you stick to one to-do at a time. Somewhere along the lines, our culture has embraced and promoted this idea that the more we can do at once, the better. ____18____. In fact, the more we multitask, the less effective and productive we become in all the tasks we are trying to finish. They have a full night’s sleep. In school, you may have found that too many students stay up late to finish a paper or study for an exam, but, despite your best efforts, research shows this is not the way to do business. ____19____. Actually, studies have linked insufficient sleep to decreased levels of productivity, unsatisfactory work performance, and poorer safety outcomes. They value fitness. You know the countless benefits of exercise. ____20____, because it releases something to reduce stress and increase your brain’s productivity. Even 30-minute bursts of moderate-to-high physical activity just three to four times a day can go a long way in helping you achieve your personal and professional goals. A. They prefer to do more every day B. Pressing stop button is important C. It also seriously improves your mood D. However, research shows the opposite E. They don’t try to do everything at once F. Enough sleep makes great contribution to effective work G. Poor sleep or lack of sleep carries some pretty negative rewards 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. D 19. G 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者认为只有遵循自然规律才能提高工作效率。如工作中要有休息，即使是短暂的休息也可让你养精蓄锐，提高注意力。不要同时做多重任务，任务越多，效率越低。还要有充足的睡眠，锻炼身体也有非常多的好处。 【16题详解】 根据上文“They take breaks. (他们会休息。)”以及后文“Studies show that prolonged (长期的) tasks that require high levels of focus, energy, and attention can cause you to become less productive and focused over time. Take brief mental breaks. Setting aside a little time here and there to release your focus can significantly help maintain it for longer periods of time. (研究表明，需要高度专注、精力和注意力的长时间任务会导致你的效率和注意力随着时间的推移而降低。短暂的精神休息。在这里或那里留出一点时间来释放你的注意力，可以显著地帮助你长时间保持注意力。)”可知，本段主要叙述了短暂的休息有助于集中精力、使注意力集中。故B项“短暂的休息很重要”符合本段文意，故选B。 【17题详解】 根据后文“Settle down, super men and women. While it’s fine to pride yourself on your abilities to multitask, which means do several things at the same time, it’s in your best interest and your employer’s if you stick to one to-do at a time. Somewhere along the lines, our culture has embraced and promoted this idea that the more we can do at once, the better. (冷静点，超人和超女。虽然对自己的多任务处理能力感到自豪是件好事，这意味着同时做几件事，但如果你一次只做一件事，这对你和你的雇主都是最有利的。从某种程度上说，我们的文化已经接受并提倡了这样一种观念：我们一次能做的越多越好。)”可知，尽管可以为自己的多任务能力感到自豪，但如果你一次只做一件事，这对你（和你的老板）是最有利的。以及最后一句“In fact, the more we multi-task, the less efficient and productive we become in all the tasks we are trying to accomplish. (事实上，我们的任务越多，在我们试图完成的所有任务中效率和生产力就越低。)”可知，多任务会使工作的效率低，因此不要一次做所有的事情。故E项“他们不想一下子做所有事”符合语境。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据空前“Somewhere along the lines, our culture has embraced and promoted this idea that the more we can do at once, the better. (在某些方面，我们的文化已经接受并推广了这样一种观点，即我们一次能做的越多，越好。)”以及最后一句“In fact, the more we multi-task, the less efficient and productive we become in all the tasks we are trying to accomplish. (事实上，我们的任务越多，在我们试图完成的所有任务中效率和生产力就越低。)”可知，前后表达相反。故D项“然而，研究结果却恰恰相反”承上启下，故选D。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Actually, studies have linked insufficient sleep to decreased levels of productivity, unsatisfactory work performance, and poorer safety outcomes. (事实上，研究发现睡眠不足与生产力水平下降、工作表现不佳以及安全性较差有关。)”可知，后文主要详细说明了睡眠不足带来的负面影响。故G项“睡眠不好或睡眠不足会带来一些相当负面的回报”符合语境，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“They value fitness. You know the countless benefits of exercise. (他们重视健康。你知道锻炼的无数好处。)”以及后文“because it releases something to reduce stress and increase your brain’s productivity. (因为它会释放一些东西来减轻压力，提高大脑的效率。)”可知，后文主要说明了锻炼可以减压，即对情绪有好处。故C选项“它还能改善你的心情”符合语境，故选C。 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was once an extremely insecure teenage girl.

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】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. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者不喜欢一个名叫Del的同学，因为那同学总是称呼作者外号，并且是有名的捣蛋鬼。一次校长把Del叫去办公室，作者透过窗户看到另一个小男孩在哭泣，Del也不高兴，作者认为Del打了人，要被学校开除了，就把自己想象的结果传播给同学，同学们信以为真。Del回到学校后，大家都不和他玩，他很孤独。后来作者知道了真相，校长把Del叫去办公室，是因为他妈妈病了，那个哭泣的小孩是Del的弟弟。作者知道自己传播了谣言，感觉对不起Del，作者主动和Del打招呼，带动其他同学和Del一起玩。他们最终成为好朋友的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天课间休息时，我看见Del独自坐着看踢球比赛。”可知，第一段可描写作者想要主动和Del打招呼，和Del一起玩。 ②由第二段首句内容“既然Del已经原谅了我，我决定在课间休息结束前做更多的事情。”可知，第二段可描写作者带动其他同学和Del一起玩，通过交流他们成为好朋友。 2.续写线索：走过去——打招呼——道歉——请求一起玩——带动其他同学一起玩——成为好朋友——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 1.说：say/put it 2.道歉：apologize/say sorry 3.接受：accept/recognize 4.加入：join/take part 情绪类 1. 惊讶的：surprised/astonished 2. 快乐的：happy/pleased/delighted 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

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 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. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. 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 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 into the back of the eye. A trial 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 involved in inserting the stem cells is right at the edge of the ability of even the most talented surgeons. 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. 8. 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. 9. What’s the real difficulty in operating on the eye? A. The precision needed in the operation. B. Lacking the right stem cells. C. The stable movement of the surgeon. D. Cutting hair into very thin layers. 10. 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. 11. 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.

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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 ACBBA 6-10 CAABC 11-15 BBACC 16-20 ABBCC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
