(2025·河南郑州调研)An international team of researchers led by the University of Bristol has cast light on Earth's earliest ecosystem,showing that within a few hundred million years of planetary formation, life on Earth was already booming (繁荣的). Everything alive today originates from a common ancestor known as LUCA(Last Universal Common Ancestor).
LUCA is the assumptive common ancestor from which all modern cellular life,from singlecelled organisms like bacteria to the huge redwood trees as well as us humans originates. LUCA stands for the source of the tree of life before it splits into the groups recognized today:Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya.
The team compared all the genes (基因) in the genomes of living species, counting the variations that have occurred within their orders over time since they shared an ancestor in LUCA. The time of separation of some species is known from the fossil (化石) record and so the team used a genetic equivalent of the familiar equation used to calculate speed in physics to work out when LUCA existed, arriving at the answer of 4.2 billion years ago, about four hundred million years after the formation of Earth and our solar system.
Next,the team worked out the biology of LUCA by modelling the physiological characteristics of living species back through the genealogy (宗谱) of life to LUCA. Lead author, Dr Edmund Moody explained, “The evolutionary history of genes is complicated by their exchange between lineages (细胞系). We have to use complex evolutionary models to harmonize the evolutionary history of genes with the genealogy of species.”
Coauthor Professor Philip Donoghue said, “Our work reveals insights into early Earth and life that could not be achieved by any one subject alone. It also demonstrates just how quickly an ecosystem was established on early Earth. This suggests that life may be booming on Earth—like biospheres elsewhere in the universe.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。由布里斯托尔大学领导的国际研究小组揭示了地球最早的生态系统,确定了共同祖先 LUCA 的存在时间及生物学特征,强调该研究的意义和对未来相关研究的影响,表明早期地球生态系统建立迅速,或为其他类似生物圈提供参考。
4.What can be learned about LUCA from the text?
A.It represents the root of the tree of life.
B.It is only the ancestor of redwood trees.
C.It was divided into two groups.
D.It didn't change much over time.
解析 A 细节理解题。根据第二段“LUCA stands for the source of the tree of life(LUCA代表生命之树的源头)”可知,LUCA 代表生命之树的根部。故选A。
5.When did LUCA exist according to the text?
A.About 4.6 billion years ago.
B.About 3.8 billion years ago.
C.About 4.2 billion years ago.
D.About 400 million years ago.
解析 C 细节理解题。根据第三段“LUCA existed, arriving at the answer of 4.2 billion years ago (LUCA 存在于42亿年前)”可知,LUCA 存在于42亿年前。故选C。
6.What can we conclude from the text?
A.LUCA was the only form of life on Earth then.
B.LUCA was probably a very complex organism.
C.The study of LUCA is the final step in exploring the universe.
D.The formation of Earth was closely related to that of other planets.
解析 B 推理判断题。根据第四段“The evolutionary history of genes is complicated by their exchange between lineages(细胞系). We have to use complex evolutionary models to harmonize the evolutionary history of genes with the genealogy of species.(基因的进化史由于它们在谱系之间的交换而变得复杂。我们必须使用复杂的进化模型来协调基因的进化历史和物种的谱系。)可推断,LUCA 可能是一个复杂的生物体。故选B。
7.What did Philip Donoghue say about their study?
A.It was timeconsuming.
B.It was disappointing.
C.It was laborsaving.
D.It was meaningful.
解析 D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Coauthor Professor Philip Donoghue said, ‘Our work reveals insights into early Earth and life that could not be achieved by any one subject alone. It also demonstrates just how quickly an ecosystem was established on early Earth. This suggests that life may be booming on Earth—like biospheres elsewhere in the universe.’(合著作者菲利普·多诺霍教授说:“我们的工作揭示了对早期地球和生命的洞察,这是任何一个学科都无法单独实现的。”这也证明了早期地球上的生态系统是如何迅速建立起来的。这表明生命可能在地球上蓬勃发展——就像宇宙中其他地方的生物圈一样。)”可推断,菲利普·多诺霍认为他们的研究很有意义。故选D。
Ⅱ.七选五
(2024·河北石家庄教学质检)Super communicators are people who are consistently able to create real connections with others just by listening and talking. The following are four habits of super communicators.
They know what kind of conversation they're having. Super communicators are usually able to respond accordingly. If you're having a practical conversation, your friend might ask you to help make hard decisions. 1 If your friend is just expressing his feelings, you just need to be a good listener.
They prove they're listening. There are plenty of ways to appear like you're listening, like making eye contact or nodding. To do that, experts suggest a technique called “cycles for understanding”. Ask a question and listen to the response. Repeat what they just told you. Ask your conversation partner if you got what they said correct. 2
They ask a lot of the right questions. Research shows that highly effective communicators tend to ask 10 to 20 times as many questions as everyone else. They may simply be followup questions like “What happened next?” Super communicators also ask questions that get people to open up. 3 They ask about people's values or experiences and create an opportunity for emotional connections.
4 The goal of a discussion isn't to impress someone, convince someone or wait for their turn to speak. It's to genuinely comprehend someone else's point of view and share their own views accordingly. The right response creates an atmosphere of trust and openness that both parties can benefit from. 5
A.They aim to understand.
B.Experts call them “deep questions”.
C.They are persuasive communicators.
D.The decisions should be easy to carry out.
E.This practice sounds simple but is powerful.
F.Then you should be ready to give good advice.
G.And that is actually the most magical thing that can happen.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。超级沟通者是那些能够始终如一地仅通过倾听和交谈就与他人建立真正联系的人。本文主要讲述超级沟通者的四个习惯。
1.解析 F 上文谈到如果你正在进行实际的对话,你的朋友可能会请你帮忙做出艰难的决定。该空承接上文,继续讲到这种情况下你该怎么做。F项“那么你应该准备好给出好的建议”符合语境。故选F。
2.解析 E 上文讲到为了做到倾听,专家建议了一个技巧,并讲述了具体的做法。此处为总结句,说明这个做法的好处。E项“这种做法听起来简单,但很有效”符合语境。故选E。
3.解析 B 上文谈到了一种问题类型——比较简单的后续问题,例如“接下来发生了什么?”,此处指的是另一种问题,结合空前的“超级沟通者还会提出让人们敞开心扉的问题”和选项可知,B项“专家将它们称为‘深度问题’”符合语境。故选B。
4.解析 A 本空为超级沟通者的第四个习惯,首先根据其他段落的段首句特点可知,该句是They作主语;再根据本段内容尤其是“genuinely comprehend someone else's point of view”(真正理解别人的观点)可知,此处指他们力求理解对方。故选A。
5.解析 G 上文谈到正确的回应创造了一种信任和开放的氛围,双方都可以从中受益。G项“那实际上是可能发生的最神奇的事情”承接上文,符合语境。故选G。
Ⅲ.完形填空
(2025·安徽合肥开学考试)Rueben, a 15yearold lion, originally lived in a private zoo in Armenia. But when the zoo closed five years ago, all the other animals were 1 . Sadly, no home was found for Rueben. He spent the last five years living 2 in a concrete cell that didn't even have enough room for him to exercise.
Rueben's journey to South Africa and his new life in the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary wasn't 3 sailing. The ADI couldn't find a 4 for him to make the 5,200mile trip from Armenia that had an airplane with large enough cargo doors for his box.
But Rueben still has to make a personal 5 . All those years of living in a cell left him 6 and unable to walk. When Rueben arrived in South Africa, he was 7 by Dr Peter Caldwell, who prepared a special course of treatment to help the lion regain 8 and mobility.
Rueben's habitat was specifically 9 with guard rails and ramps (护栏和坡道) to help Reuben regain his 10 which could be a very long process.
“If he 11 , he just picks himself up and keeps going. 12 , in just a few days his movement is already improving.” Now, Rueben's 13 has been astonishing. His movement has improved and he 14 comes for treats. He enjoys spending as much time as possible outdoors. Reuben is 15 so well that he is even getting his roar back as he regains confidence under the African sky. He will never be lonely again.

Ⅲ.读后续写
(2025·江西九江开学考试)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。
To say that I was shy was an understatement—I was basically afraid of people. Kids or adults, everyone made me nervous. I was also thought to be a “good kid”. I followed the rules and rarely questioned authority. But then one day, one single ride on a school bus changed all that.
The school bus that day was crowded and smelly. The windows were all rolled up because it was raining too hard to have them down. Most kids were engaged in conversations, arguments and games. Then the bus stopped, waiting for an accident to clear. The driver was particularly tense that day and had shouted at several kids who had been standing up in their seats, screaming or making faces at drivers in passing cars.
I sat alone as usual, speaking to no one and looking through the window. The road outside looked like a flooded stream. I could make out tree branches, bags, even an umbrella washing down the road. Then, I saw a cat struggling in the water. It was holding on to the slippery metal bars covering the storm drain (排水沟) in the street, with half of its body drawn into the black hole of the drain.
I wanted to go and get the cat, but I knew that the bus driver, Mrs. Foster, would never allow me off the bus. It was against the rules to even stand up, so I would get into trouble. I wasn't sure whether some of the kids would help the cat.
The bus began to move forward; the accident traffic was finally in motion. The cat's eyes locked on to mine. It was begging for help. Although the bus was noisy, I seemed to have heard its terrified cry. Tears were rolling down my cheeks. I felt like I was drowning along with the little cat. I glanced around, but no one else seemed to have noticed.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
When Mrs. Foster shouted at me to sit down, I was astonished to realize I had stood up.
Without saying a word, Mrs. Foster opened the door and rushed out into the rain.
One possible version:
When Mrs. Foster shouted at me to sit down, I was astonished to realize I had stood up. I sat down quickly, but I realized that I couldn't just sit there, seeing the cat dying. Despite the fear of punishment and ridicule, I stood up again, my heart pounding in my chest. My eyes met those of Mrs. Foster in the front, who was startled by my sudden movement. I spoke with a voice trembling with urgency, “Please, Mrs. Foster, there's a cat drowning outside.We have to help him!” To my surprise, she hesitated for a moment but then stopped the bus.
Without saying a word, Mrs. Foster opened the door and rushed out into the rain. A few minutes later, Mrs.Foster came back and handed me the poor little cat. “You're a brave kid,” Mrs.Foster said softly. “I'm proud of you for speaking up and trying to help.” As the bus kept going, I couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. My actions had not only saved a life but also broken down some of my own barriers. From that day on, I found it easier to speak up and connect with people around me, realizing that bravery and compassion could overcome even the shyest of hearts.
