This annual event, initiated in 2003, is meant to fuel a passion for science among young minds. Uniquely, the S-Light differs from conventional speakers by turning noise into electricity rather than using electricity to produce sound. In order to develop this device, Team Voltage 5 invested countless lunchtimes in school laboratories, working closely with their science teachers. A team member explained, “When sound waves strike the diaphragm of the speaker, the interaction between the magnet and coil generates electrical energy. This is stored in a power bank to power a light. This process is essentially the opposite of how traditional speakers work. The S-Light proves highly effective in environments abundant with noise, such as airports, busy roads, or construction sites. With larger speakers and a lot of devices, it holds the incredible potential to generate sufficient electricity for an entire community and provide sustainable energy solutions. While transforming noise into electricity is not a novel concept, no practical device existed before. The creators of the “S-Light” were driven by the prospect of assisting students in rural areas lacking electric lighting for home study. They were keenly aware of their privilege in attending school and expressed pride in contributing their invention to their nation as gratitude for their educational opportunities. The remarkable achievements of Team Voltage 5 serve as an inspiration, encouraging other young individuals to realize their full potential to impact others' lives and make great contributions to society through scientific innovation and creativity. 4. What do we know about the “S-Light”? A. It was initially operated in 2003. B. It uses electricity to make sound. C. It transforms sound into electricity. D. It works the same way as a speaker. 5. What's paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Why the “S-Light” matters. B. How the “S-Light” functions. C. Where the “S-Light” stores energy. D. What issue the “S-Light” addresses. 6. Which words can best describe Team Voltage 5? A. Humorous and diligent. B. Creative and appreciative. C. Curious and dependable. D. Productive and responsible. 7. What message does the author mainly convey in the text? A. Small actions bring about new insights. B. Joint efforts are key to achieving success. C. Important changes always arise from trial and error. D. Innovative youth contribute to community well-being. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了来自菲律宾科学高中的5名自称为“Team Voltage 5”的11年级学生，设计了名为“S-Light”的创新设备，并在马来西亚2019青年发明家挑战赛上获得了银奖。“S-Light”与传统扬声器的区别在于，它将噪音转化为电能，而不是使用电能来产生声音。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“Uniquely, the S-Light differs from conventional speakers by turning noise into electricity rather than using electricity to produce sound.(S-Light与传统扬声器的独特之处在于，它将噪音转化为电能，而不是用电来产生声音。)”可知，S-Light把声音转换成电。故选C项。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段的内容“A team member explained, “When sound waves strike the diaphragm of the speaker, the interaction between the magnet and coil generates electrical energy. This is stored in a power bank to power a light. This process is essentially the opposite of how traditional speakers work.(一位团队成员解释说：“当声波撞击扬声器的隔膜时，磁铁和线圈之间的相互作用产生电能。它被储存在充电宝里，为电灯供电。这个过程本质上与传统扬声器的工作方式相反。)”可知，第二段主要是讲S-Light是如何工作的。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“While transforming noise into electricity is not a novel concept, no practical device existed before. The creators of the “S-Light” were driven by the prospect of assisting students in rural areas lacking electric lighting for home study. 'They were keenly aware of their privilege in attending school and expressed pride in contributing their invention to their nation as gratitude for their educational opportunities.(虽然将噪音转化为电能并不是一个新颖的概念，但在此之前并没有实际的设备存在。“S-Light”的发明者希望帮助农村地区缺乏电力照明的学生在家学习。“他们敏锐地意识到自己上学的特权，并表示为自己的国家贡献自己的发明感到自豪，以感谢他们的教育机会。”)”可知，Team Voltage 5有创新精神且他们对自己接受的教育心存感恩。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容，尤其是最后一段“The remarkable achievements of Team Voltage 5 serve as an inspiration, encouraging other young individuals to realize their full potential to impact others' lives and make great contributions to society through scientific innovation and creativity.(Voltage 5团队的卓越成就鼓舞着其他年轻人，鼓励他们充分发挥自己的潜力，通过科学创新和创造力影响他人的生活，为社会做出巨大贡献。)”可知，作者想要传达的信息是“有创新精神的青年们为社会福祉做贡献”。故选D项。 C Never judge a book by its cover — even if the cover doesn’t say much at all. The first thing customers see when they walk into the Strand Book Store in Manhattan is a table of nameless books with covers wrapped like Christmas presents and titles replaced by general descriptions. The store calls it “Blind Date With a Book”. People love it, Paul Colarusso, the communications director for the Strand, said, “We put it right at the front of the store because it quite literally stops people in their tracks.” “People are attracted to the element of surprise, which focuses attention and creates a dopamine (多巴胺) response,” Mr. Tobin, an associate professor at Case Western University, said. Meanwhile, stores have found a new way to sell books that are overlooked because they are not new, best-selling or penned by a famous author. Much like real dating, there’s no perfect science, and an element of trial and error is involved. Fantasy and mystery books work well. Forgotten books from the past are great too. When in Rome by Sarah Adams is disguised as “Freshly Baked Slow Bum Rom-com”. Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade becomes a “You’ve Got Mail-esque Romance”. But not all bookstores have embraced the trend. Dozens of bookstore owners around the country said they did not know what “Blind Date Books” were. Others didn’t participate in the trend because store policy prohibits returns or exchanges which are necessary if someone has picked up a book they have already read. On a warm Friday morning, the bookstore is packed. About half the customers stop at the “Blind Date Books” display by the entrance, closely inspecting the neatly drawn, wrapped covers. Heather Toner buys one. “Throwing caution to the wind and letting someone else choose for me just sort of feels like a nice change of pace,” Ms. Toner, a reader, said. “I never went on a real blind date. ‘Blind Date With a Book’ is kind of my speed. ” 8. What makes “Blind Date With a Book” appealing to customers according to Mr. Tobin? A. The ability to choose specific titles. B. The attractiveness of the packaging. C. The excitement of an unforeseen choice. D. The identification of dopamine response. 9. How does “Blind Date With a Book” benefit bookstores? A. It enriches customers’ choices. B. It satisfies readers’ special needs. C. It simplifies shopping procedures. D. It helps market less-known books. 10. What does the underlined word “embraced” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Overlooked. B. Blocked C. Guided. D. Adopted. 11. Which words best describe Heather Toner’s attitude towards “Blind Date With a Book”? A. Open and adventurous B. Cautious and reserved. C. Tolerant and indecisive. D. Dismissive and skeptical. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。 这篇文章介绍了曼哈顿的斯特兰书店推出的“盲选书籍”活动。该活动将书籍的封面包装起来，只留下简单描述，让顾客在没有任何先入为主印象的情况下挑选书籍。文章讨论了这种活动带来的顾客体验、其背后的心理学原理，以及这一趋势对书店销售的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“People are attracted to the element of surprise, and the element of surprise focuses attention and creates a dopamine response(人们被惊喜元素所吸引，而惊喜元素能够集中注意力并引发多巴胺反应)”可知，顾客更喜欢“盲选书籍”是因为他们在这种不确定性中体验到刺激和惊喜，激发了多巴胺的反应，产生兴奋感。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Meanwhile, stores have found a new way to sell books that are overlooked because they are not new, best-selling or penned by a famous author.(与此同时，书店已经找到了一种销售那些因为非新书、非畅销书或非名家所著而被忽视的书籍的新方法)”可知，这种活动帮助销售那些被忽视的书籍，而这些书籍往往因为不是畅销书或不是出自名作家之手而被忽视。故选D。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段第二句话和第三句话“Dozens of bookstore owners around the country said they did not know what “Blind Date Books” were. Others didn’t participate in the trend because store policy prohibits returns or exchanges which are necessary if someone has picked up a book they have already read.(全国数十家书店店主表示，他们不知道“图书盲选”是什么。还有一些书店没有参与这一潮流，因为书店政策禁止退货或换货，而如果顾客选到了已经读过的书，退货或换货是必要的)”可知，不是所有的书店都能欣然接受这种趋势，D选项中的adopt 意思是“正式通过”，符合语意。故选 D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句““Throwing caution to the wind and letting someone else choose for me just sort of feels like a nice change of pace,” Ms. Toner, a reader, said. “I never went on a real blind date. ‘Blind Date With a Book’ is kind of my speed.”(读者托纳（Toner）女士说：“不顾一切让别人替我选择，感觉节奏很不错，算是一种新鲜的改变。我从来没有参加过真正的约会。‘与书相约’正合我的节奏。”)可知， Heather Toner 认为让别人为自己挑选书籍是一种 “节奏的变化”，从她的话中可以看出，她认为这种方式感到轻松且充满期待， 甚至将其比作一种适合自己的“盲约”，说明她对这种体验持一种积极、开放的态度，同时又抱着试一试的心态。故选A。 D Environmental DNA (eDNA) has become a crucial tool in ecological research over recent years. By analyzing water, soil, or other environmental materials for DNA pieces, researchers can tell that thousands of different species have been in an area without having to observe the actual species passing through. To date, this eDNA process has mostly been employed to detect marine (海洋的) creatures, insects, and other wildlife. However, according to a paper published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, this technique could just as easily be applied to spot humans. An international team of researchers based at the University of Florida, USA, demonstrated that human genomic (基因组的) information can be easily detected in eDNA samples collected from water, sand, and even the air. While this capability could have practical applications, such as aiding in the search for missing persons or monitoring public health, the researchers highlight significant moral concerns. These concerns include the lack of agreement from individuals for their DNA to be collected, potential breaches (侵犯) of privacy, and the risk of genetic information being used for commercial purposes. This issue is particularly challenging for the field of eDNA, which relies on open and easily accessible data. “It is standard practice in science to make these data publicly available. However, this also means that if human information is not screened out, anyone could access this information,” says senior author Professor David Duffy, a wildlife disease genomics researcher at the University of Florida. “This raises issues around permission. Do we need to ask permission to collect these samples? Should we bring in some controls to remove human genetic data?” “Whenever we make a technological advancement, there are both beneficial and concerning potential uses. This situation is no different,” Duffy explains. “We are raising these issues early so that policymakers and society have adequate time to develop suitable guidelines.” 12. What is the primary use of eDNA in ecological research? A. Identifying species present in an area. B. Monitoring species evolution processes. C. Improving living conditions for wildlife. D. Sampling insects directly in their habitats. 13. Why is the accessibility of eDNA data a potential problem? A. It ignores practical applications of eDNA data. B. It may lead to unchecked genetic engineering. C. It could result in misuse of human genetic data. D. It raises concerns about wildlife disease research. 14. What does Duffy suggest people concerned do? A. To develop potential applications. B. To sample genetic information. C. To highlight advanced technology. D. To establish appropriate regulations. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. eDNA: A New Frontier in Ecological Monitoring B. eDNA: Human Detection Meets Privacy Challenges C. eDNA: A Breakthrough in Marine Research Techniques D. eDNA: Transforming Our Comprehension of Biodiversity 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了环境DNA(eDNA)在生态研究中的应用，特别是其在检测人类方面的潜力，同时提出了相关的道德和隐私问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Environmental DNA (eDNA) has become a crucial tool in ecological research over recent years. By analyzing water, soil, or other environmental materials for DNA pieces, researchers can tell that thousands of different species have been in an area without having to observe the actual species passing through. (近年来，环境DNA (eDNA) 已成为生态学研究的重要工具。通过分析水、土壤或其他环境材料的DNA片段，研究人员无需观察实际经过的物种，就能判断出某个地区曾经有数千种不同的物种)”可知，eDNA在生态研究中的主要用途是识别某一地区存在的物种。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“These concerns include the lack of agreement from individuals for their DNA to be collected, potential breaches (侵犯) of privacy, and the risk of genetic information being used for commercial purposes.(这些担忧包括没有得到个人对其DNA收集的同意，隐私可能遭到侵犯，以及遗传信息被用于商业目的的风险)”和第四段中“However, this also means that if human information is not screened out, anyone could access this information, (然而，这也意味着，如果人类信息没有被筛选出来，任何人都可以访问这些信息)”以及“This raises issues around permission. Do we need to ask permission to collect these samples? Should we bring in some controls to remove human genetic data? (这引发了关于许可的问题。我们是否需要征得许可才能收集这些样本?我们是否应该引入一些控制措施来删除人类遗传数据?)”可知，eDNA数据的可访问性是一个潜在问题，因为它可能导致人类遗传数据的滥用。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中Duffy的话“We are raising these issues early so that policymakers and society have adequate time to develop suitable guidelines. (我们提前提出这些问题，以便政策制定者和社会有足够的时间来制定合适的指南)”可知，Duffy建议相关人士制定适当的法规。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“However, according to a paper published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, this technique could just as easily be applied to spot humans. (然而，根据发表在《自然·生态与进化》杂志上的一篇论文，这项技术同样可以很容易地应用于检测人类)”和第三段中“These concerns include the lack of agreement from individuals for their DNA to be collected, potential breaches (侵犯) of privacy, and the risk of genetic information being used for commercial purposes.(这些担忧包括没有得到个人对其DNA收集的同意，隐私可能遭到侵犯，以及遗传信息被用于商业目的的风险)”可知，文章主要介绍了eDNA在检测人类方面的应用及其引发的隐私和道德问题，故B项“eDNA: Human Detection Meets Privacy Challenges(eDNA：人类检测遭遇隐私挑战)”最能概括文章内容，适合做文章标题。故选B项。 第二节 （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。 Students’ success and happiness can be improved by building their self-belief - their perception (看法) of their capacity to complete a challenging task. In a study with 763 students at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in China, it was revealed that students with high self-belief excelled in their final year projects.____16____On the contrary, students with low self-belief exhibited lower levels of happiness and poorer performance, despite having access toquality resources.

The atmosphere was lively and busy, with the noise of plates and the sound of conversations creating a warm and inviting setting. The smell of freshly cooked food floated through the air, inviting everyone to try a little bit of everything. The buffet was a feast for the senses, with steaming trays of dishes from all over the world. The kids were particularly thrilled at the sight of the dessert section, which they had been eagerly longing for all week. Their eyes widening at the array of cakes, ice creams, and pastries, they quickly made plans to sample everything. As we sat down to enjoy our meals, chatting cheerfully about the various food options, my husband’s attention was drawn to an elderly man standing by the chocolate milk dispenser (分液器). The man seemed determined, but his hands were shaking, making it difficult for him to fill two glasses. My husband watched him for a moment, a concerned look on his face. “Now, how on earth is he going to carry that milk back to his table?” he wondered aloud, his eyes narrowing in thought. He noticed the man’s expression of concentration and effort, and a wave of sympathy made him restless. The kids, absorbed in their plates, hadn’t noticed, but my husband couldn’t look away. I glanced at my husband and raised my eyebrows (眉毛) with a knowing smile. He immediately understood my silent message. The next moment, without a word, he got up from his seat and approached the elderly gentleman. I watched as he gently placed a hand on the man’s shoulder, offering a kind smile. I felt a warm wave of pride and admiration for my husband. His kind-hearted nature always managed to shine through in moments like these, making me realize how lucky I was to have him by my side. 注意： 1. 续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: “May I help you with that?” my husband asked kindly. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As he sat down, he gave me a small nod, and we continued our meal. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文: “May I help you with that?” my husband asked kindly. The elderly man looked up, his eyebrows raised in mild shock, but then relief washed over his face as he sighed softly. He nodded appreciatively, his eyes conveying his gratitude. “Thank you, young man,” he said. My husband and the elderly man walked side by side, their steps harmonizing. When they reached the table, the elderly man grasped my husband’s hand in a firm, heartfelt handshake. With a warm smile, he said, “You’re a good man, thank you once again.” As he sat down, he gave me a small nod, and we continued our meal. The mood around our table was even more cheerful, and the kids, who had observed the interaction, were full of questions and comments. “That was so nice, Dad!” one of them exclaimed, eyes wide with admiration. Our dinner that night was not just about the food but about the small act of kindness that can make a big difference in someone’s day. It reminded us that taking a moment to help others is a simple yet profound way to connect and spread a little joy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以家庭外出就餐为线索展开，讲述了一家人在自助餐厅用餐时，丈夫注意到一位老人倒牛奶困难，便主动上前帮忙故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘我可以帮你吗？’我丈夫和蔼地问”可知，第一段可描写丈夫向老人提出帮助后，老人露出感激之情，并接受帮助。丈夫和老人一起走回座位，老人紧紧握住丈夫的手表示感谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“当他坐下时，他向我轻轻点了点头，然后我们继续吃饭。”可知，第二段可描写丈夫回来后，餐桌上的氛围更加愉快，孩子们对丈夫的行为表示赞赏，晚餐因此变得更加有意义。 2.续写线索：老人接受帮助并感激——丈夫和老人一起走回座位——老人紧握丈夫的手——丈夫回来继续用餐——孩子们对丈夫行为表示赞赏——晚餐变得更有意义 3.词汇激活： 行为类 ①表达感激之情：convey gratitude/express gratitude/show appreciation ②抓住：grasp/grab ③继续：continue/carry on 情绪类 ①吃惊：shock/surprise/astonishment ②快乐：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] The elderly man looked up, his eyebrows raised in mild shock, but then relief washed over his face as he sighed softly.(运用了独立主格结构和从属连词as引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2] When they reached the table, the elderly man grasped my husband’s hand in a firm, heartfelt handshake.(运用了从属连词when引导时间状语从句) [高分句型3] The mood around our table was even more cheerful, and the kids, who had observed the interaction, were full of questions and comments.(运用了关系代词who引导非限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 机密★启用前 湖北省部分市州2025年元月高三期末联考 英语试卷 本试卷共10页，67题。全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 ★祝考试顺利★ 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

B Five Grade 11 students, calling themselves “Team Voltage 5” from the Philippine Science High School, engineered an innovative device named the “S-Light” and secured a Silver Award at the Young Inventors Challenge 2019 in Malaysia. This annual event, initiated in 2003, is meant to fuel a passion for science among young minds. Uniquely, the S-Light differs from conventional speakers by turning noise into electricity rather than using electricity to produce sound. In order to develop this device, Team Voltage 5 invested countless lunchtimes in school laboratories, working closely with their science teachers. A team member explained, “When sound waves strike the diaphragm of the speaker, the interaction between the magnet and coil generates electrical energy. This is stored in a power bank to power a light. This process is essentially the opposite of how traditional speakers work. The S-Light proves highly effective in environments abundant with noise, such as airports, busy roads, or construction sites. With larger speakers and a lot of devices, it holds the incredible potential to generate sufficient electricity for an entire community and provide sustainable energy solutions. While transforming noise into electricity is not a novel concept, no practical device existed before. The creators of the “S-Light” were driven by the prospect of assisting students in rural areas lacking electric lighting for home study. They were keenly aware of their privilege in attending school and expressed pride in contributing their invention to their nation as gratitude for their educational opportunities. The remarkable achievements of Team Voltage 5 serve as an inspiration, encouraging other young individuals to realize their full potential to impact others' lives and make great contributions to society through scientific innovation and creativity. 4. What do we know about the “S-Light”? A. It was initially operated in 2003. B. It uses electricity to make sound. C. It transforms sound into electricity. D. It works the same way as a speaker. 5. What's paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Why the “S-Light” matters. B. How the “S-Light” functions. C. Where the “S-Light” stores energy. D. What issue the “S-Light” addresses. 6. Which words can best describe Team Voltage 5? A. Humorous and diligent. B. Creative and appreciative. C. Curious and dependable. D. Productive and responsible. 7. What message does the author mainly convey in the text? A. Small actions bring about new insights. B. Joint efforts are key to achieving success. C. Important changes always arise from trial and error. D. Innovative youth contribute to community well-being. C Never judge a book by its cover — even if the cover doesn’t say much at all. The first thing customers see when they walk into the Strand Book Store in Manhattan is a table of nameless books with covers wrapped like Christmas presents and titles replaced by general descriptions. The store calls it “Blind Date With a Book”. People love it, Paul Colarusso, the communications director for the Strand, said, “We put it right at the front of the store because it quite literally stops people in their tracks.” “People are attracted to the element of surprise, which focuses attention and creates a dopamine (多巴胺) response,” Mr. Tobin, an associate professor at Case Western University, said. Meanwhile, stores have found a new way to sell books that are overlooked because they are not new, best-selling or penned by a famous author. Much like real dating, there’s no perfect science, and an element of trial and error is involved. Fantasy and mystery books work well. Forgotten books from the past are great too. When in Rome by Sarah Adams is disguised as “Freshly Baked Slow Bum Rom-com”. Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade becomes a “You’ve Got Mail-esque Romance”. But not all bookstores have embraced the trend. Dozens of bookstore owners around the country said they did not know what “Blind Date Books” were. Others didn’t participate in the trend because store policy prohibits returns or exchanges which are necessary if someone has picked up a book they have already read. On a warm Friday morning, the bookstore is packed. About half the customers stop at the “Blind Date Books” display by the entrance, closely inspecting the neatly drawn, wrapped covers. Heather Toner buys one. “Throwing caution to the wind and letting someone else choose for me just sort of feels like a nice change of pace,” Ms. Toner, a reader, said. “I never went on a real blind date. ‘Blind Date With a Book’ is kind of my speed. ” 8. What makes “Blind Date With a Book” appealing to customers according to Mr. Tobin? A. The ability to choose specific titles. B. The attractiveness of the packaging. C. The excitement of an unforeseen choice. D. The identification of dopamine response. 9. How does “Blind Date With a Book” benefit bookstores? A. It enriches customers’ choices. B. It satisfies readers’ special needs. C. It simplifies shopping procedures. D. It helps market less-known books. 10. What does the underlined word “embraced” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Overlooked. B. Blocked C. Guided. D. Adopted. 11. Which words best describe Heather Toner’s attitude towards “Blind Date With a Book”? A. Open and adventurous B. Cautious and reserved. C. Tolerant and indecisive. D. Dismissive and skeptical. D Environmental DNA (eDNA) has become a crucial tool in ecological research over recent years. By analyzing water, soil, or other environmental materials for DNA pieces, researchers can tell that thousands of different species have been in an area without having to observe the actual species passing through. To date, this eDNA process has mostly been employed to detect marine (海洋的) creatures, insects, and other wildlife. However, according to a paper published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, this technique could just as easily be applied to spot humans. An international team of researchers based at the University of Florida, USA, demonstrated that human genomic (基因组的) information can be easily detected in eDNA samples collected from water, sand, and even the air. While this capability could have practical applications, such as aiding in the search for missing persons or monitoring public health, the researchers highlight significant moral concerns. These concerns include the lack of agreement from individuals for their DNA to be collected, potential breaches (侵犯) of privacy, and the risk of genetic information being used for commercial purposes. This issue is particularly challenging for the field of eDNA, which relies on open and easily accessible data. “It is standard practice in science to make these data publicly available. However, this also means that if human information is not screened out, anyone could access this information,” says senior author Professor David Duffy, a wildlife disease genomics researcher at the University of Florida. “This raises issues around permission. Do we need to ask permission to collect these samples? Should we bring in some controls to remove human genetic data?” “Whenever we make a technological advancement, there are both beneficial and concerning potential uses. This situation is no different,” Duffy explains. “We are raising these issues early so that policymakers and society have adequate time to develop suitable guidelines.” 12. What is the primary use of eDNA in ecological research? A. Identifying species present in an area. B. Monitoring species evolution processes. C. Improving living conditions for wildlife. D. Sampling insects directly in their habitats. 13. Why is the accessibility of eDNA data a potential problem? A. It ignores practical applications of eDNA data. B. It may lead to unchecked genetic engineering. C. It could result in misuse of human genetic data. D. It raises concerns about wildlife disease research. 14. What does Duffy suggest people concerned do? A. To develop potential applications. B. To sample genetic information. C. To highlight advanced technology. D. To establish appropriate regulations. 15 What is the best title for the text? A. eDNA: A New Frontier in Ecological Monitoring B. eDNA: Human Detection Meets Privacy Challenges C. eDNA: A Breakthrough in Marine Research Techniques D. eDNA: Transforming Our Comprehension of Biodiversity 第二节 （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。 Students’ success and happiness can be improved by building their self-belief - their perception (看法) of their capacity to complete a challenging task.

The atmosphere was lively and busy, with the noise of plates and the sound of conversations creating a warm and inviting setting. The smell of freshly cooked food floated through the air, inviting everyone to try a little bit of everything. The buffet was a feast for the senses, with steaming trays of dishes from all over the world. The kids were particularly thrilled at the sight of the dessert section, which they had been eagerly longing for all week. Their eyes widening at the array of cakes, ice creams, and pastries, they quickly made plans to sample everything. As we sat down to enjoy our meals chatting cheerfully about the various food options, my husband’s attention was drawn to an elderly man standing by the chocolate milk dispenser (分液器). The man seemed determined, but his hands were shaking, making it difficult for him to fill two glasses. My husband watched him for a moment, a concerned look on his face. “Now, how on earth is he going to carry that milk back to his table?” he wondered aloud, his eyes narrowing in thought. He noticed the man’s expression of concentration and effort, and a wave of sympathy made him restless. The kids, absorbed in their plates, hadn’t noticed, but my husband couldn’t look away. I glanced at my husband and raised my eyebrows (眉毛) with a knowing smile. He immediately understood my silent message. The next moment, without a word, he got up from his seat and approached the elderly gentleman. I watched as he gently placed a hand on the man’s shoulder, offering a kind smile. I felt a warm wave of pride and admiration for my husband. His kind-hearted nature always managed to shine through in moments like these, making me realize how lucky I was to have him by my side. 注意： 1. 续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: “May I help you with that?” my husband asked kindly. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As he sat down, he gave me a small nod, and we continued our meal. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
