Edward O. Wilson, known as “the ant man”, was born on June 10, 1929, in Birmingham, Alabama. His parents divorced when he was young, and he moved frequently throughout his childhood. Wilson grew up exploring the forests and wildlife. One of these adventures left him partly blind, but they also set off his lifelong fascination(着迷) with ants and their social structures.
Wilson earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Alabama. In 1955, he received his PhD from Harvard and worked there until retirement.
Wilson's early study of ants led to his first major discovery in 1959: How ants communicate through the release of chemical signals.
Later, in 1990, Wilson and German biologist Bent Holldobler published their Pulitzer-winning The Ants. It detailed the insects' social structure that was both valued by entomologists(昆虫学者) and accessible to general readers.
Another of Wilson’s major works started in the early 1960s when he teamed up with Robert MacArthur. The pair published The Theory of Island Biogeography, where they sought to explain why different places have different numbers of species.
What many consider to be Wilson's most important contributions to evolutionary biology came in 1975 when he published Sociobiology: The New Synthesis. The work explored the genetic and evolutionary roots of animal behaviour and argued that genes shaped human behaviour. Wilson faced accusations(谴责) for these ideas but finally his work largely proved true. In 1978, his ideas on the role biology plays in human culture ended in On Human Nature, which won him a Pulitzer in 1979.
Wilson published more than 400 scientific papers and 20 books. He received more than 150 awards and honours from around the world. These accomplishments offered him a type of academic superstar status, but friends and colleagues said the polite Southerner remained down to earth. “One of the qualities I really admired about Professor Wilson was his ability to really listen to and engage with whomever he was interacting with, ” said Corrie S. Moreau, who was one of Wilson's final advisees.
4. What contributed to Wilson's passion for ants?
A. His accidental disability. B. The discovery he made about ants.
C. The school education he received. D. His boyhood spent in nature.
5. What is the book On Human Nature about?
A. The social structure of ants. B. The distribution of different species.
C. The links between biology and human culture. D. The role of chemical signals in communication.
6. According to Wilson's friends and colleagues, which word can best describe him?
A. Warm-hearted B. Modest. C. Independent. D. Honest.
7. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To promote Wilson's most popular books.
B To explain the social behavior of ants in detail.
C. To highlight the challenges Wilson faced in his personal life.
D. To introduce the life and key achievements of Wilson.
C
Recent research reveals the harmful mental health effects caused by social media use, including increased rates of depression, anxiety, suicidal (与自杀相关的) tendencies and self-harm. Adolescents who spend more than three hours per day on social media face twice the risk of poor mental health outcomes.
Addictive feeds — designed to make use of personal data to intensify (增强) users’ content that will keep them on the platform for as long as possible — have dramatically raised the risk to young users’ well-being and made our children addicted to these social media outlets.
In the first seven years after addictive feeds were introduced, suicide rates for 10- to 14-year-old girls doubled and hospitalization for suicidal tendencies and attempts increased nearly twice for all adolescents.
Instead of responding to the problem, social media have made great efforts to keep and capture user engagement, and the results have been catastrophic.
Beyond the direct harm of social media addiction, the collection of children’s data by these giant companies puts our kids at huge risk, leaving them vulnerable (易受伤害的) by having their location and other personal data tracked, shared and sold online. As a consequence, that data is at greater risk of falling into the wrong hands — including. human traffickers, identity thieves and others who might prey on (坑害) young people.
We will not stand by and watch an arms race among social media mega-corporations (大型企业) over who can best profit from our children’s pain and addiction. That is why we should use and are using every tool at our fingertips to fight back against these damaging practices: from the courthouse to the statehouse.
8. What can we learn about addictive feeds?
A. They are food that can easily satisfy people.
B. They are Internet content that can get people addicted.
C. They are kept on the platform just for a short period of time.
D. They are personal data stored on the Internet for convenience.
9. Which word can best replace the underlined word “catastrophic” in paragraph 4?
A. destructive B. positive C. unique D. effective
10. Which of the following best describes the author’s purpose in mentioning statistics such as “suicide rates for 10 - to 14-year-old girls doubled”?
A. To create an emotional response in the reader.
B. To show how effective social media has become at keeping users engaged.
C. To offer a balanced view of the effects of social media on young people.
D. To provide evidence that supports the argument about social media’s harmful effects.
11. What can we learn from the last paragragh?
A. It emphasizes the author’s support for social media companies.
B. It describes positive effects of social media on children’s well-being.
C. It explains how social media companies can address the mental health issues.
D. It calls for increased control on social media companies to protect young users.
D
More scientists are exploring cellular senescence (细胞衰老) — a state in which cells no longer divide. Senescent cells, which build up in older bodies, have a link to age- related conditions such as dementia (痴呆).
Scientists are exploring drugs that treat senescent cells. But the most promising tool against the bad effects of senescent cells, experts say, is exercise.
Today, LeBrasseur, who directs a center on aging at Mayo, says exercise is the most promising tool that we have for good health in late life, and its power spreads to our cells. Research suggests exercise prevents the buildup of senescent cells, helping the immune system clear them and fight the cell damage that can affect aging.
Last year, LeBrasseur led a study that provided the first sign in humans that exercise greatly affected senescence. It cut signs in the bloodstream of the effects of senescent cells in the body.
After a 12-week exercise program, researchers found that older adults had cut signs of senescence and improved body strength, physical ability and reported health. A recent study collects even more facts in animals and humans for exercise as a treatment to fight against senescent cells.
While such studies are not well-known outside scientific circles many older adults connect exercise with youthfulness. Farmer Mike Gale, 81, put in a track and field throwing circle on his large farm in California. He and some of his friends throw the discus and use other exercise equipment. “I’d like to be competing in my 90s, ” Gale says. “Why not? ”
95-year-old Richard Soller says exercise keeps him fit enough to deal with what comes his way — including the discovery that his wife had developed dementia. The two sometimes walk the streets of their neighborhood together, holding hands. “Do as much as you can, ” he says. “That should be the goal for anyone to stay healthy. ”
12. Which of statements is true about LeBrasseur?
A. He focused on the aging process. B. He firstly tested with humans.
C. He found exercise could slow aging. D. He invented medicine to stop aging.
13. What can we infer about Farmer Mike Gale's attitude towards aging and exercise?
A. He avoids exercise because he believes it is not helpful for older people.
B. He feels that exercise is only useful for young people and not for older adults.
C. He believes aging is unavoidable and there is little that can be done to stay healthy.
D. He thinks exercise can help him stay youthful and is optimistic about competing in his 90s.
14. Why did the author tell the story of a 95-year-old man?
A. To envy him for his happy life. B. To give an example of his point.
C. To call on people to learn from him. D. To recommend exercise to the elderly.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Exercise Is the Best Tool Against Aging. B. Aging Secret Has Been Found Out.
C. Old People Can Also Live Actively. D. Aging Causes Serious Health Problems.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
In a small town in Iowa, sixteen-year-old Emma Thompson was an ambitious student with dreams of becoming a scientist. Every year, the local high school held a science fair, and Emma had always placed high but never won first place. This year, she was determined to change that.
Emma spent months working on her project, a study on renewable energy using algae (藻类). She recorded data, ran experiments, and even stayed up late into the night perfecting her presentation. Her parents often found her working at her laptop, surrounded by books and lab equipment.
One evening, a week before the science fair, Emma was working on her project when her laptop screen suddenly went black. Panicked, she tried to restart it, but it was no use. All her data, notes, and the presentation were on that laptop, and she hadn’t backed up her files.
Desperate, Emma took the laptop to the local repair shop. The technician told her it would take at least a week to recover the data, if it was even possible. Emma left the shop, feeling a sense of despair. How could she possibly recreate everything in just a few days?
Returning home, she sat on her bed, fighting back tears. Her mind flashed back to a conversation she had had with her science teacher, Mr. Reynolds, earlier in the year. He told her the true test of a scientist was not in how they handled success, but in how they overcame failure and that innovation often came from the ability to adapt and persevere.
Emma let Mr. Reynolds’ words sink in. She realized that this was her chance to prove herself — as a true scientist. Determined to make the best of her situation, she began to gather all the resources she still had. She found her handwritten notes, some scattered (散乱的) papers, and relied on her memory to recall key points of her research.
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。
Paragraph 1:
Taking a deep breath, Emma decided to start over.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After the fair, the winners were to be announced.

Edward O. Wilson, known as “the ant man”, was born on June 10, 1929, in Birmingham, Alabama. His parents divorced when he was young, and he moved frequently throughout his childhood. Wilson grew up exploring the forests and wildlife. One of these adventures left him partly blind, but they also set off his lifelong fascination(着迷) with ants and their social structures.
Wilson earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Alabama. In 1955, he received his PhD from Harvard and worked there until retirement.
Wilson's early study of ants led to his first major discovery in 1959: How ants communicate through the release of chemical signals.
Later, in 1990, Wilson and German biologist Bent Holldobler published their Pulitzer-winning The Ants. It detailed the insects' social structure that was both valued by entomologists(昆虫学者) and accessible to general readers.
Another of Wilson’s major works started in the early 1960s when he teamed up with Robert MacArthur. The pair published The Theory of Island Biogeography, where they sought to explain why different places have different numbers of species.
What many consider to be Wilson's most important contributions to evolutionary biology came in 1975 when he published Sociobiology: The New Synthesis. The work explored the genetic and evolutionary roots of animal behaviour and argued that genes shaped human behaviour. Wilson faced accusations(谴责) for these ideas but finally his work largely proved true. In 1978, his ideas on the role biology plays in human culture ended in On Human Nature, which won him a Pulitzer in 1979.
Wilson published more than 400 scientific papers and 20 books. He received more than 150 awards and honours from around the world. These accomplishments offered him a type of academic superstar status, but friends and colleagues said the polite Southerner remained down to earth. “One of the qualities I really admired about Professor Wilson was his ability to really listen to and engage with whomever he was interacting with, ” said Corrie S. Moreau, who was one of Wilson's final advisees.
4. What contributed to Wilson's passion for ants?
A. His accidental disability. B. The discovery he made about ants.
C. The school education he received. D. His boyhood spent in nature.
5. What is the book On Human Nature about?
A. The social structure of ants. B. The distribution of different species.
C. The links between biology and human culture. D. The role of chemical signals in communication.
6. According to Wilson's friends and colleagues, which word can best describe him?
A. Warm-hearted B. Modest. C. Independent. D. Honest.
7. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To promote Wilson's most popular books.
B. To explain the social behavior of ants in detail.
C. To highlight the challenges Wilson faced in his personal life.
D. To introduce the life and key achievements of Wilson.

Recent research reveals the harmful mental health effects caused by social media use, including increased rates of depression, anxiety, suicidal (与自杀相关的) tendencies and self-harm. Adolescents who spend more than three hours per day on social media face twice the risk of poor mental health outcomes.
Addictive feeds — designed to make use of personal data to intensify (增强) users’ content that will keep them on the platform for as long as possible — have dramatically raised the risk to young users’ well-being and made our children addicted to these social media outlets.
In the first seven years after addictive feeds were introduced, suicide rates for 10- to 14-year-old girls doubled and hospitalization for suicidal tendencies and attempts increased nearly twice for all adolescents.
Instead of responding to the problem, social media have made great efforts to keep and capture user engagement, and the results have been catastrophic.
Beyond the direct harm of social media addiction, the collection of children’s data by these giant companies puts our kids at huge risk, leaving them vulnerable (易受伤害的) by having their location and other personal data tracked, shared and sold online. As a consequence, that data is at greater risk of falling into the wrong hands — including. human traffickers, identity thieves and others who might prey on (坑害) young people.
We will not stand by and watch an arms race among social media mega-corporations (大型企业) over who can best profit from our children’s pain and addiction. That is why we should use and are using every tool at our fingertips to fight back against these damaging practices: from the courthouse to the statehouse.
8. What can we learn about addictive feeds?
A. They are food that can easily satisfy people.
B. They are Internet content that can get people addicted.
C. They are kept on the platform just for a short period of time.
D. They are personal data stored on the Internet for convenience.
9. Which word can best replace the underlined word “catastrophic” in paragraph 4?
A. destructive B. positive C. unique D. effective
10. Which of the following best describes the author’s purpose in mentioning statistics such as “suicide rates for 10 - to 14-year-old girls doubled”?
A. To create an emotional response in the reader.
B. To show how effective social media has become at keeping users engaged.
C. To offer a balanced view of the effects of social media on young people.
D. To provide evidence that supports the argument about social media’s harmful effects.
11. What can we learn from the last paragragh?
A. It emphasizes the author’s support for social media companies.
B. It describes positive effects of social media on children’s well-being.
C. It explains how social media companies can address the mental health issues.
D. It calls for increased control on social media companies to protect young users.

More scientists are exploring cellular senescence (细胞衰老) — a state in which cells no longer divide. Senescent cells, which build up in older bodies, have a link to age- related conditions such as dementia (痴呆).
Scientists are exploring drugs that treat senescent cells. But the most promising tool against the bad effects of senescent cells, experts say, is exercise.
Today, LeBrasseur, who directs a center on aging at Mayo, says exercise is the most promising tool that we have for good health in late life, and its power spreads to our cells. Research suggests exercise prevents the buildup of senescent cells, helping the immune system clear them and fight the cell damage that can affect aging.
Last year, LeBrasseur led a study that provided the first sign in humans that exercise greatly affected senescence. It cut signs in the bloodstream of the effects of senescent cells in the body.
After a 12-week exercise program, researchers found that older adults had cut signs of senescence and improved body strength, physical ability and reported health. A recent study collects even more facts in animals and humans for exercise as a treatment to fight against senescent cells.
While such studies are not well-known outside scientific circles, many older adults connect exercise with youthfulness. Farmer Mike Gale, 81, put in a track and field throwing circle on his large farm in California. He and some of his friends throw the discus and use other exercise equipment. “I’d like to be competing in my 90s, ” Gale says. “Why not? ”
95-year-old Richard Soller says exercise keeps him fit enough to deal with what comes his way — including the discovery that his wife had developed dementia. The two sometimes walk the streets of their neighborhood together, holding hands. “Do as much as you can, ” he says. “That should be the goal for anyone to stay healthy. ”
12. Which of statements is true about LeBrasseur?
A. He focused on the aging process. B. He firstly tested with humans.
C. He found exercise could slow aging. D. He invented medicine to stop aging.
13. What can we infer about Farmer Mike Gale's attitude towards aging and exercise?
A. He avoids exercise because he believes it is not helpful for older people.
B. He feels that exercise is only useful for young people and not for older adults.
C. He believes aging is unavoidable and there is little that can be done to stay healthy.
D. He thinks exercise can help him stay youthful and is optimistic about competing in his 90s.
14. Why did the author tell the story of a 95-year-old man?
A. To envy him for his happy life. B. To give an example of his point.
C. To call on people to learn from him. D. To recommend exercise to the elderly.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Exercise Is the Best Tool Against Aging. B. Aging Secret Has Been Found Out.
C. Old People Can Also Live Actively. D. Aging Causes Serious Health Problems.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家们正在探索细胞衰老这个问题。研究表明运动能有效对抗细胞衰老。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Research suggests exercise prevents the buildup of senescent cells, helping the immune system clear them and fight the cell damage that can affect aging.( 研究表明,锻炼可以防止衰老细胞的积累,帮助免疫系统清除它们,对抗可能影响衰老的细胞损伤。)”以及第四段“Last year, LeBrasseur led a study that provided the first sign in humans that exercise greatly affected senescence. It cut signs in the bloodstream of the effects of senescent cells in the body.( 去年,LeBrasseur领导的一项研究首次在人类身上提供了运动极大地影响衰老的迹象。它能消除血液中衰老细胞的影响。)”可知,LeBrasseur发现运动能影响细胞衰老,减少衰老细胞在体内的影响,即运动可以减缓衰老。故选C项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了世界诗歌日的设立目的及意义。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:每年的3月21日是世界诗歌日,旨在促进诗歌教学,以及这种写作形式的出版、写作和阅读。根据空后March 21为具体某一天可知,此处为介词on+具体某一天。故填on。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:联合国教科文组织于1999年宣布世界语言日,希望通过诗意的表达来支持语言多样性,并增加濒危语言被听到的机会。设空处为句子的谓语,根据后面的时间状语in 1999可知,此处应为一般过去时;主语It与declare之间为被动关系,应用被动语态;主语为It,谓语用第三人称单数形式。故填was declared。
【38题详解】
考查不定式的被动语态。句意:联合国教科文组织于1999年宣布世界语言日,希望通过诗意的表达来支持语言多样性,并增加濒危语言被听到的机会。opportunity to do sth 为固定表达,意为“做某事的机会”,此处为不定式作后置定语,修饰opportunity,故此处应填不定式;空前的for引出不定式的逻辑主语,endangered languages 与hear之间为逻辑上的被动关系,故此处应用动词不定式的被动式。故填to be heard。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:世界诗歌日旨在为国际、区域和国家诗歌运动注入新的动力和认可。设空处和drive并列,共同作giving的宾语,应用名词形式;recognise的名词形式为 recognition,意为“认可;承认”。故填recognition。

【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:这一天在全球范围内庆祝。此处修饰动词celebrated,作状语,应用副词形式。故填globally。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:政府机构、社区团体和个人都参与到促进或参与这一天中来,这使孩子们能够学习和享受各种各样的诗歌。分析句子可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为前面整句话在从句中作主语成分,所以为关系代词which引导。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这是学生们忙于研究诗人和学习不同类型诗歌的时候。分析句子可知,设空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词time,关系词在从句中作时间状语,故用关系副词when引导该从句。故填when。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:人们举行仪式来纪念那些取得惊人成就的诗人。根据句意以及空后achievements为名词可知,此处为形容词amazing“惊人的,了不起的”作定语修饰该名词,满足句意要求。故填amazing。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:总而言之,这是一个属于诗歌的日子:诗歌是一种古老的艺术形式,至今仍丰富着我们对人性的理解。此处泛指“一种古老的艺术形式”,应用不定冠词修饰,且ancient的发音以元音音素开头。故填an。

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
In a small town in Iowa, sixteen-year-old Emma Thompson was an ambitious student with dreams of becoming a scientist. Every year, the local high school held a science fair, and Emma had always placed high but never won first place. This year, she was determined to change that.
Emma spent months working on her project, a study on renewable energy using algae (藻类). She recorded data, ran experiments, and even stayed up late into the night perfecting her presentation. Her parents often found her working at her laptop, surrounded by books and lab equipment.
One evening, a week before the science fair, Emma was working on her project when her laptop screen suddenly went black. Panicked, she tried to restart it, but it was no use. All her data, notes, and the presentation were on that laptop, and she hadn’t backed up her files.
Desperate, Emma took the laptop to the local repair shop. The technician told her it would take at least a week to recover the data, if it was even possible. Emma left the shop, feeling a sense of despair. How could she possibly recreate everything in just a few days?
Returning home, she sat on her bed, fighting back tears. Her mind flashed back to a conversation she had had with her science teacher, Mr. Reynolds, earlier in the year. He told her the true test of a scientist was not in how they handled success, but in how they overcame failure and that innovation often came from the ability to adapt and persevere.
Emma let Mr. Reynolds’ words sink in. She realized that this was her chance to prove herself — as a true scientist. Determined to make the best of her situation, she began to gather all the resources she still had. She found her handwritten notes, some scattered (散乱的) papers, and relied on her memory to recall key points of her research.
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。
Paragraph 1:
Taking a deep breath, Emma decided to start over.

Paragraph 2:
After the fair, the winners were to be announced.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
Taking a deep breath, Emma decided to start over. She had her handwritten notes, some papers, and her memory. She could do this. The following week, Emma spent every waking hour reconstructing her project. The kitchen turned into a makeshift lab, notes scattered across the table. Her parents made sure she had snacks to keep her energy up. The night before the science fair, Emma finally finished her presentation. She knew it wasn’t as polished as her original, but she had done her best. At the science fair, Emma stood by her project, feeling a mix of nervousness and hope. As the judges made their rounds, she presented her findings with passion.
After the fair, the winners were to be announced. Emma held her breath as they called out the names. When the first-place winner was called, it wasn’t her name. Disappointed but still proud of her efforts, Emma listened intently as they announced the second and third-place winners. To her surprise and joy, Emma was awarded third place. Her heart swelled with pride as she accepted her prize, knowing that despite the setbacks, she had proven her resilience and determination. This experience fueled Emma’s passion for science even more, inspiring her to continue pursuing her dreams with even greater determination and perseverance.
