Ravi Kannan never planned to pursue a career in surgery. “I never wanted to choose surgery as a profession,” he recalls, reflecting on his journey from leading the surgical oncology department (外科肿瘤科) at the Adyar Cancer Institute in Chennai to becoming a surgical oncologist at the Cachar Cancer Care Hospital and Research Centre (CCHRC) in Silchar, Assam. His life took an unexpected turn when Dr. Chinmoy Choudhury invited him to Silchar, a region urgently in need of medical expertise. Kannan’s passion for medicine was inspired by his mother, who viewed village doctors as vital community members delivering essential healthcare. After completing his MBBS, MS, and MCh in surgical oncology, Kannan’s visit to CCHRC revealed the desperate state of cancer care in Assam, where many patients could not afford treatment due to distance and costs. Upon arriving in Silchar with his wife, Seetha, they discovered that the nearest cancer hospital was 300 kilometers away in Guwahati. “Cancer treatment is expensive and needs long-term care,” Kannan admits. Seetha encouraged him to stay and address the community’s urgent needs. However, Kannan faced significant challenges at CCHRC. The facilities were limited, lacking essential equipment and a stable power supply. “I thought I was here to perform surgeries,” he says. Operating during frequent power cuts required skills; they adapted by scheduling surgeries during daylight hours. Kannan also needed to improve patient compliance. A registry established in 2008 revealed that nearly 60 percent of patients were not returning for treatment. To avoid this issue, CCHRC began offering low-cost and free treatments alongside boarding facilities for patients and caregivers while carrying out programs focused on early detection. Kannan’s dedication has led to notable improvements; compliance rates have risen to nearly 70 percent. His efforts have gained recognition, including the Padma Shri Award in 2020 and the Ramon Magsaysay Award in 2023, Reflecting on his journey, Kannan credits his wife Seetha and father as his greatest inspirations, remembering his father’s advice: “Never judge someone harshly.” 4. What motivated Kannan to pursue a career in medicine? A. The encouragement from his father. B. The influence of his mother. C. His experiences at the CCHRC. D. His desire for financial stability. 5. What major barriers did Kannan encounter upon moving to Silchar? A. Limited facilities and equipment. B. Difficulty in performing surgeries. C. Lack of patients seeking treatment. D. Strong resistance from the community. 6. What does the underlined phrase “patient compliance” in paragraph 5 mean? A. The availability of medical resources. B. The financial support provided to patients. C. Patients’ willingness to follow treatment plans. D. Patients’ ability to detect their symptoms early. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Future of Cancer Care. B. The Journey of a Cancer Surgeon. C. The Innovations in Surgical Oncology. D. The Significance of Family in Medicine. C Have you ever run into someone and struggled to remember their name? Or walked into a room only to forget why you were there? Being forgetful can be quite frustrating and sometimes even embarrassing. However, what if I told you that there are sound reasons for our memories fading away? In a BBC interview, neuroscientist Charan Ranganath uses a store analogy (类比) to illustrate this concept. Just as we don’t keep every item we’ve ever owned in our homes, we also don’t need to hold onto all our memories. He explains, “If we didn’t forget anything, we’d be storing memories, making it impossible to find what you want when you need it.” For instance, recalling your hotel room number weeks after checking out is unnecessary, just as memorizing every face you encounter on the street is unrealistic. Moreover, forgetting is essential for updating our memories with new information. Consider adjusting to a new school timetable or work routine after a year of familiarity, your brain must let go of irrelevant details to accommodate these changes. Similarly, if it’s been ten years since you last saw a distant relative, your memory of their appearance needs updating because of the natural changes over time. Additionally, if you’ve ever felt certain that you know a word but can’t recall it, you’re not alone. This tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon suggests that some information isn’t entirely forgotten; it’s simply temporarily inaccessible. Research indicates that individuals with greater knowledge may experience this more frequently because their brains process a larger amount of information to find specific words. While memories are often compared to a cliff (悬崖) — once fell apart, they’re lost — Sanjay Sarma and Luke Yoquinto argue in their article “Forgetfulness: Why Your Mind Going Blank Can Be a Benefit” that forgetting is “less like a cliff slowly collapsing into the sea and more like a house deep in the woods that becomes harder and harder to find.” 8. What does the author imply about forgetfulness? A. It can be beneficial and necessary. B. It is consistently a negative feature. C. It reflects a decline in cognitive abilities. D. It should be completely avoided at all times. 9. How does Ranganath’s store analogy relate to memory? A. Memories should be preserved forever. B. All memories are of equal significance. C. Forgetting helps manage our memories effectively. D. We should memorize every single detail. 10. Why is forgetting considered essential for updating our memories? A. It helps us remember all information more effectively. B. It prevents us from becoming confused about past events. C. It simplifies the process of remembering faces and names. D. It allows us to focus on relevant information over irrelevant ones. 11 What can we learn about the forgotten memories in the last paragraph? A. They are completely lost and cannot be restored. B. They may still exist but can be difficult to access. C. They fade away without any trace over time. D. They should always be remembered and preserved. D Understanding ocean currents is crucial for predicting how warming temperatures may impact our planet. In 2011, Bob Pickart, a physical oceanographer at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, discovered an unexpected current flowing in the opposite direction while studying water flow in the Denmark Strait between Greenland and Iceland. This mystery puzzled him for over a decade. Recently, Pickart and his research team set out to investigate this current, now known as the Iceland Faroe Slope Jet(IFSJ). Their six-week expedition involved navigating through the Nordic seas, even facing a major storm, to trace the current’ s path. Identifying the current’ s origin is vital because it eventually flows into the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a critical system that distributes heat and influences global weather patterns. The AMOC acts like an ocean conveyor belt; however, climate models predict that it may slow down or collapse due to rising global temperatures. This disorder could lead to severe consequences: northern Europe could experience sharp temperature drops, sea levels could rise further along the U. S. coast, and monsoon (季风) patterns in the southern hemisphere might shift dramatically. There is an ongoing debate among scientists about when these changes might occur. The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) report suggests a significant decline after 2100, while some researchers believe a collapse could happen within decades. Others argue that despite warming waters, critical sections of the AMOC have remained stable. According to Dipanjan Dey from the Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar, this disagreement arises from a lack of long-term observations; comprehensive measurements of the AMOC have only been available for about 20 years. “We don’t have confidence in predicting when a tipping point will occur,” he stated. However, Dey emphasizes the importance of preparing for potential changes. Pickart aims to understand the IFSJ’s origins and its relationship with the AMOC to help fill data gaps. “We need to comprehend how this system operates before we can fully grasp how it will change with climate warming” he concluded. 12. What is the primary purpose of mentioning Bob Pickart’s discovery? A. To highlight his achievements as a scientist. B. To discuss climate change impacts on ocean ecosystems. C. To illustrate how the ocean currents affect fish populations. D. To introduce the importance of understanding ocean currents. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The advanced method ever used in studying the AMOC. B. The potential consequences of changes to the AMOC. C. The historical background of ocean currents. D. The personal experiences of Bob Pickart. 14. What is Dipanjan Dey’s attitude towards predicting changes in the AMOC? A. He is uncertain but stresses the need for preparation. B. He is optimistic about making accurate predictions. C. He is dismissive of concerns regarding climate change. D. He is confident that no significant changes will occur soon. 15. What can we learn from what Pickart said? A. It will possibly confirm existing theories without new discoveries. B. Future research will focus solely on surface temperatures. C. Understanding the system is crucial for predicting future changes. D. There will be no further studies needed after this research concludes. 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。 How to Build a Fitness Routine That Fits Your Lifestyle In today’s busy world of traffic jams and demanding work hours, fitting in a fitness routine can be challenging.

She kept saying she followed the pattern exactly, but something didn’t seem right. Somehow, she convinced me to join a summer play, and I was going to be the Fish Footman in a local production of Alice in Wonderland. This thought didn’t help my confidence at all. As the opening night approached, anxiety tightened in my stomach. The costume felt silly, and I worried about being the center of attention. Mom, feeling my unease, wrapped me in a big hug and reminded me of all the hard work I had put into rehearsals(排练) over the past two months. Despite her encouragement, doubt remained. On performance day, I felt extremely nervous. What if I forgot my lines? Mom took me backstage where other kids in colorful costumes were chatting happily. I felt small and out of place as she led me to the makeup table. A moment later, I saw my reflection with green cheeks and bright blue lips. Panic hit me: how could I go on stage looking like this? But Mom reassured(安抚) me that everyone else also wore strange costumes. With no way to escape, I sat alone as the play began. The unclear figures onstage made me nervous, and laughter from the audience sounded far away— ironic for someone playing a fish. As the stage manager signaled on the other side of the stage for my entrance, I knew it’s my show time and I knew I should hug this experience fully. 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。 Before I stepped onto the stage, my heart raced. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Once on stage, everything started to go smoothly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 广东省2025届高三“百日冲刺”联合学业质量监测 英语 注意事项： 1．本试卷满分120分，考试时间120分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡的相应位置。 3．全部答案在答题卡上完成，答在本试题卷上无效。 4．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 5．考试结束后，将本试题卷和答题卡一并交回。 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

I’m writing to share my opinion on whether mobile phones should be allowed on campus, which is a really controversial issue. I firmly believe mobile phones should be restricted at school. First, they are a huge distraction during classes. Many students can’t resist checking messages or playing games, and this seriously affects their learning. Second, excessive phone use weakens face-to-face communication skills because students are more into the virtual world on their phones. What’s your view on this? Looking forward to your reply. Best regards, Li Hua 第二节 (满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】 Before I stepped onto the stage, my heart raced. I look at myself in the mirror and I feel stupid, how can I play such a character? I can feel the audience laughing at me, they will say, “what a funny character, this fish is so foolish.” I can't even imagine what I look like. But then I thought, since I can’t change anything, I should accept the challenge and present the best version of myself to the audience. Once on stage, everything started to go smoothly. In front of the audience, I was very confident, and the performance of this fish amazed the audience, leaving them a deep impression. The audience applauded loudly. I really became the center of attention. At that time I was so excited and happy, I conquered myself and was no longer afraid of anything. I also learned that everyone plays an important role in life. Being yourself is the most important thing. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
