More than 20 years ago,Yung-Chi Cheng,a Yale professor in drug development for cancer,had
a pioncering idca:what if he could unlock the potential of ancient Chincse medicines for treating
cancer?What if he could design botanical drugs that would make traditional cancer treatments work
better?No one had done it before.Fellow researchers and experts advised him to change course,
because developing botanical drugs was too complicated and too risky.But Cheng didn't let the idea
g0.
Now,in a landmark moment in cancer research,Cheng and research partners are launching the
first international clinical trial for a botanical drug,YIV-906.Shwu-Ilucy Liu,a postdoctoral
researcher in Cheng's Yale lab,spent hours lcafing through ancient Chinese texts at Yale's library,
seeking the properties of Chinese herbs.She returned with Huang Qin Tang,a 1.800-year-old
treatment for stomach illnesses,based on which the team developed a drug and tested it on one
thousand mice.
What followed were years of additional testing of the drug's effectiveness for a range of cancers
in multiple human studics involving over 200 patients.The positive cffects displayed again and
again.YIV-906 not only reduced the side effects of radiation treatment,but also led to faster
recovery and longer survival rates.
All they need now are larger data sets.When the results of the international trial are available
about three years from now,YIV-906 may find itself next in a long line of breakthrough drugs
developed from natural products,which includes a malaria treatment developed from the
Chinese herb ginghao,the discovery of which led to a Nobel Prize for chemist Tu Youyou.
It has been a long journey,but if Cheng and his team are successful,it could create a new
approach for treating cancer.They called the new approach "WE"medicine,a combination of
Western medicine and Eastern medicine."It's a totally new model.I've met with a lot of doubt,but I
think the results will speak for themselves,"Cheng said.
24.What did fellow researchers initially think of Cheng's research?
A.Creative.
B.Comprehensive.C.Conventional.
D.Challenging.
25.Why did Liu refer to ancient Chinese texts?
A.She wanted to question ancient treatment methods.
B.She desired to find inspiration for treating diseases.
C.She tried to document the history of Chinese herbs.
D.She determined to find a cure for stomach illnesses.

26.What docs paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.Steps of the drug testing.
B.The application of YIV-906.
C.Effects of the clinical trial.
D.The effectiveness of YIV-906.
27.Why docs the author mention Chinese herb ginghao?
A.To illustrate the value of botanical drugs.
B.To advocate the adoption of"WE"medicine.
C.To praise Tu's contributions to drug development.
D.To highlight its success in medicine development.

Media literacy ()is finally getting some late-arriving attention.Whether it's the increasing
awareness of political disinformation or the threat of Al,discussions about media litcracy are on the
rise.The adoption of media literacy in the classroom,however,stagnates.
The driving force for providing kids with media literacy skills often gets lost in the moral panic
over technology and kids.Fear has overrun reason,and people can't decide whether to blame social
media,mobile devices,tech companies,or the Internet.They are concerned with claims that
technology and social media are the causes of tecnage mental health issucs despite the weak
associations.In response,too many solutions are "ostrich policies(鸵鸟政策)”that want to ban
devices and shut down social media but don't address more fundamental issues.
Policies that sct age limits on social media access and restrict devices during school to
minimize disturbance can be helpful but are incomplete solutions.Social media didn't invent bullies
(or the enormous effect of peer pressure.Social media platforms may be a new battleground,
but they are not the source.Unfortunately,many current policies ignore the nced to teach kids how
to manage these challenges.There is frighteningly little attention paid to preparing kids to make
good decisions when they will,unavoidably,get online.
On the bright side,the rapid development of Al and increasing attention to the amount of
misinformation online have helped normalize the acceptance of media literacy as a core skill.While
suggestions to limit inappropriate device use,increase face-to-face socialization,and engage in
outdoor play are beneficial,they do not build the core skills that will keep kids safe offlinc and are
fundamental to well-being and life success:good citizenship,self-awareness and self-control.Those
things take teaching,whether you are online or outside.
Media literacy is an essential life skill that,once learned,can be applied to any content.While
waiting for public education to catch up,parents and educators can build media literacy skills at
home with numerous resources,ranging from family technology contracts and discussion guides to
easy activities that can be done at home with kids.
28.What does the underlined word "stagnates"in the first paragraph probably mcan?
A.Gets far ahead.
B.Falls apart suddenly.
C.Falls well short.
D.Gets started officially.

A.Belief in the rapid growth of new technologies
B.Concern over cutting kids off from the Internet.
C.Inability to balance the use of social media and health.
D.Fear of technology causing mental health issues in teenagers.
30.What docs paragraph 3 of the text focus on?
A.The sources of peer pressure.
B.The benefits of minimizing disturbance.
C.The problems of current policies.
D.The disadvantages of social media platforms.
31.Which of the following belongs to media literacy?
A.Reducing social media exposure.
B.Applying critical thinking to media.
C.Increasing face-to-face interactions.
D.Recognizing the dangers of social media.
D
Decision fatigue(决策疲劳)is a psychological phenomenon where the quality of decisions
declines after a long session of decision-making.It is caused by the limited mental encrgy we have
for making choices each day.While many of us belicve we are logical beings capable of weighing
every option carefully,decision fatigue shows how our mental resources can be used up over time.
One of the key studies on this phenomenon was conducted in the context of parole hearings
释听证会).Researchers found that judges were more likely to approve of parole early in the day or
after a meal break.As the day progressed and the judges made more decisions,they were
increasingly likely to maintain their previous decisions,denying parole simply because it required
less mental effort.
Decision fatiguc not only affects major life choices but also everyday decisions.For instance,
people often report struggling to decide what to eat for dinner after a long day.Similarly,too many
choices,such as when looking through streaming platforms or online storcs,can leave individuals
feeling confused,leading them to abandon the process entirely or settle for a less satisfying option.
To overcome decision fatigue,some well-known figures have adopted strategics to simplify
their daily routines.For example,Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is famous for wearing the
same style of gray T-shirts to minimize unnecessary choices.Similarly,Nobel Prize-winning
physicist Albert Einstein was known for owning multiple identical suits to avoid wasting energy on
deciding what to wear each day.In a different context,author Haruki Murakami has shared that he
maintains a strict daily routine,including specific writing hours and exercise,to frec up mental
capacity for his creative work.
Understanding decision fatigue can help us structure our lives more effectively.Prioritizing
important decisions earlier in the day or setting up routincs to minimize unnecessary choices are
strategies to preserve mental energy.By managing our mental resources wisely,we can make sound
decisions and reduce the stress associated with overwhelming choices.

32.What leads to decision fatigue according to the text?
A.The lack of time to make decisions.
B.The difficulty of making logical choices.
C.The stress from making important decisions.
D.The limited mental energy for decision-making.
33.What does the study on parole hearings reveal?
A.Judges are much stricter after long breaks.
B.Decision fatigue can lead to unfair outcomes.
C.Fatigue causes judges to avoid complicated cases.
D.External factors have no impact on decision-making.
34.What does the author suggest readers shopping online do?
A.Make quick decisions.
B.Compare different products.
C.Limit the number of choices
D.Choose the most popular products.
35.What is the purpose of adopting routines?
A.To reduce the stress of daily work.
B.To increase decision-making quality.
C.To enhance overall life satisfaction.
D.To create more decision-making chances.

Achieving Success in Journalistic News Writing
No book,article or blog post can turn an ambitious writer into a successful journalist.All that it
can do is to help the writer learn to write.The primary skill in learning to write is practice.36
Among the most convenient subjects are the events and news in the world around us.Such topics are
what skilled journalists write about,and that is why we call this form of writing "journalistic
writing”.
Journalistic writing is not a special literary gymnastics that requires a special talent and an
expansive vocabulary.37 It is using language to tell what is going on in the world.As
such,it requires no special talent beyond seeing and understanding what is taking place around us,to
grasp its significance and relation to other events,and to tell others what we have seen and heard.
38 One of the chief characteristics is timeliness and relevance.It has little time to
talk about the past,except in comparison with the present.It has little time to foretell the future,
except in pointing out the significance of the present.Its subject is today.It is primarily concerned
with facts.The writer considers himself a recorder of the things other persons are doing and
thinking.
Another basic part of journalistic writing is that the writer prepares it for a definite purpose.
Some writers,like novelists,write to use beautiful words and sentences.39 However,
the writer who favors a journalistic style uses English simply to tell what he has seen and heard;he
realizes that his reader cares more for the things he tells than for the way in which he tells and
expresses them.
Success in journalistic writing demands two important skills.One is the inborn skill to see and
understand.The other is the skill to tell what the writer has seen in a way that makes the reader see
the same thing.40 If the writer is eager to excel,he must expand his knowledge and
education so he can better understand and evaluate the things he sees and hears.

A.It will not do them any good to write news items.
B.To these imaginative literary writers,they favor expression.
C.To practice writing,one must have something to write about.
D.An ambitious writer can develop both skills if he lacks them.
E.The writer must write it now or never-without giving up quality.
F.Journalistic writing differs mainly in its subject matter and purpose.
G.Instead,it is the plainest,most reserved form of English composition.

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。
I had always been cautious around Max.He was the quiet kid in our grade,the one who sat at
the back of the classroom with his hood (pulled low over his face.Max rarely spoke to
anyone,and when he did,his words were rudely brief and often misunderstood.Rumors (
about him spread like wildfire-some said he got into fights after school,others claimed he had once
stolen a teacher's wallet.I didn't know if any of them was true,but I stayed away,just like everyone
else.
Then one Friday morning,Max didn't show up to class.A low voice of curiosity spread through
the room,and soon enough,theories about his absence started flying."He got suspended,"whispered
a girl next to me."I heard he struck a guy outside the library."I wasn't surprised,and nodded in
agreement.
Later that day,I found myself at the park,enjoying the first warm day of spring.That's when I
saw him-Max-sitting alone on the swings.His usual guarded expression was gone,and replaced
by something I hadn't expected:sadness.Against my better judgment,I walked over.
“Hey,”I said awkwardly.
Max looked up,surprised."What do you want?"
"I...just saw you here and thought I'd say hi."
He gave me a strange look but said nothing.I was about to walk away when I noticed a
wrinkled piece of paper in his hand."What's that?"I asked.
For a moment,he hesitated.Then,with a shrug,he handed it to me.It was a hospital discharge
form,and the name on it wasn't his-it was his younger sister's.I looked at him,confused.
"She's been sick for months,"Max explained,his voice barely heard."Yesterday was bad.My
mom couldn't leave work,so I stayed at the hospital and looked after her all night."
It hit me then how wrong we had all been about Max.The tough outward appearance,the
distance-he wasn't trying to push people away.He was carrying a weight none of us understood.
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。
The next Monday,Max returned,but rumors remained.
From that day forward,things began to change.
