Born to a farmer’s family in 1978, Cai has been deeply influenced by his father’s idea that “one has to fight for himself”. Since primary school, he has been getting up before 5 am to run and study English. At 29, Cai became chief tax manager in Vanke Co. In 2011, he joined JD Group, where he led his team to develop the first electronic invoice (发票) in China. Wherever he worked, he always tried his best to create new value. Diagnosed with ALS in 2019, he would have only two to five years to live. ALS is usually caused by the gradual death of motor neurons (神经元), which makes normally easy movements like drinking water, eating, going to the bathroom, and speaking impossible. Finally, patients will completely rely on machines and others’ help to survive. So far, only two medicines are available to treat ALS, but they can at most extend patients’ life for several months without improving their living quality. To develop effective drugs is the only way to save ALS patients. However, the intense effort required, which is unprofitable for so rare an illness, makes it a mission almost impossible. It usually takes 10-15 years to complete the research cycle for a new drug and the cost is $1-3billion. Take Alzheimer’s disease for example. Between 2000 and 2017, investment in new drugs for this more common disease was over $600 billion, and 99.6% of the research on more than 300 drugs failed. Cai decided to take matters into his own hands. He started his own medical technology company, built his own research team, and volunteered to try more than 30 new medicines which all failed. However, he has decided that even if all efforts prove fruitless, he will continue. To shoot the last bullet, he has decided to donate his brain and spinal cord for scientific research. He will not die for nothing. 24. What kind of person is Cai Lei? A. Extremely ambitious and well-mannered. B. Quite reliable and clear-headed. C. Highly motivated and strong-willed. D. Well informed and warm-hearted. 25. What might happen to people diagnosed with ALS? A. Maintaining a normal life by taking medicines. B. Losing the ability to think and speak normally. C. Needing external assistance to survive in the end. D. Dying within months of a confirmed diagnosis. 26. Why is Alzheimer’s disease mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To prove Alzheimer to be a common disease. B. To talk about the severity of Alzheimer. C. To ask for more investment in the research on ALS. D. To explain the difficulty of finding a cure for ALS. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A man who never gives in. B. Joint efforts to fight ALS. C. ASL, a rare deadly disease. D. Suffering of a man with ALS. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了京东集团前副总裁蔡磊在得知自己患上渐冻症后，决心找到治愈方法的故事，展现了他高度的积极性和坚强的意志。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Since primary school, he has been getting up before 5 am to run and study English. At 29, Cai became chief tax manager in Vanke Co. In 2011, he joined JD Group, where he led his team to develop the first electronic invoice in China. Wherever he worked, he always tried his best to create new value.(从小学开始，他就每天早上5点前起床跑步、学习英语。29岁时，蔡磊成为万科公司税务总监。2011年，他加入京东集团，在那里他带领团队开发了中国第一张电子发票。无论在哪里工作，他总是尽力创造新的价值。)”和最后一段“He started his own medical technology company, built his own research team, and volunteered to try more than 30 new medicines which all failed. However, he has decided that even if all efforts prove fruitless, he will continue. To shoot the last bullet, he has decided to donate his brain and spinal cord for scientific research.(他创办了自己的医疗科技公司，组建了自己的研究团队，并自愿尝试了30多种新药，但都以失败告终。然而，他决定，即使所有的努力都证明是徒劳的，他也将继续下去。为了射出最后一颗子弹，他决定将自己的大脑和脊髓捐献给科学研究。)”可知，蔡磊从小努力上进，工作中积极创造价值，被确诊渐冻症后，积极寻求治疗办法，即使尝试新药失败，也决定继续下去，还要捐献大脑和脊髓用于科学研究，这说明他积极性很高且意志坚强。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“ALS is usually caused by the gradual death of motor neurons (神经元), which makes normally easy movements like drinking water, eating, going to the bathroom, and speaking impossible. Finally, patients will completely rely on machines and others’ help to survive..(渐冻症通常是由运动神经元的逐渐死亡引起的，这使得喝水、吃饭、上厕所和说话等通常容易的动作变得不可能。最后，患者将完全依赖机器和他人的帮助来生存。)”可知，被诊断为渐冻症的人最终需要外部帮助才能生存。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“It usually takes 10-15 years to complete the research cycle for a new drug and the cost is 1−3 billion. Take Alzheimer’s disease for example. Between 2000 and 2017, investment in new drugs for this more common disease was over 600 billion, and 99.6% of the research on more than 300 drugs failed.(开发一种新药通常需要10-15年的时间，成本为10-30亿美元。以阿尔茨海默病为例。2000年至2017年间，对这种更常见疾病的新药投资超过6000亿美元，对300多种药物的研究中，99.6%以失败告终。)”可知，第四段提到阿尔茨海默病是为了解释找到治愈渐冻症的方法有多难。故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了京东集团前副总裁蔡磊在得知自己患上渐冻症后，决心找到治愈方法的故事，展现了他高度的积极性和坚强的意志，选项A“一个永不屈服的人”最适合作为本文标题。故选A。 C The Ig Nobel Prizes, established in 1991, are an amusing alternative to the distinguished Nobel Prizes, honoring research that “makes people laugh, then think”. The name is a clever wordplay on “ignoble”, meaning something lacking honor, reflecting the humorous and unconventional nature of the discoveries. However, beneath the foolishness often lies great scientific value, showing that curiosity can lead to significant understanding, even from seemingly insignificant questions. The prizes draw attention to a range of odd but fascinating studies. In 2024, some researchers were awarded for demonstrating that real plants can copy the appearance of artificial ones they are planted alongside, revealing the remarkable adaptability of nature. Another 2024 study demonstrated that dead fish can swim upstream by using energy from fast-moving water currents, which could inspire energy-efficient designs in engineering. Additionally, a probability experiment involving more than 350,000 coin throws revealed that a thrown coin is more likely to land on the side it started from, offering unexpected understanding into chance and probability. In previous years, similarly quirky studies have been honored. In 2004, one of the Ig Nobel Prizes was awarded to Jillian Clarke. She investigated the scientific soundness of the “five-second rule”, a popular belief that food dropped on the floor is still safe to eat if picked up within five seconds. Some 2006 Ig Nobel Prize winners found that female malaria mosquitoes (蚊子) are equally attracted to the smell of human feet and Limburger cheese. This research, which won the Biology Prize, suggests that these odors could be used to develop innovative mosquito control methods. Held annually in mid-September, around the time the real Nobel Prizes are announced, the Ig Nobel Prize ceremony is a unique mixture of humor and science, where real Nobel Prize winners present the awards. The event contains a number of running jokes, including Miss Sweetie Poo, a little girl who repeatedly cries out “Please stop, I’m bored”, if speakers go on too long. Paper airplanes are traditionally thrown by the audience, adding to the funny nature of the event. 28. What is the main purpose of the Ig Nobel Prizes? A. To compete with the traditional Nobel Prizes. B. To honor significant breakthroughs in science. C. To inspire discoveries with entertainment value D. To recognize funny and thought-provoking research. 29. What does the study of coin throwing reveal? A. Possibility cannot be predicted with certainty. B. Coins tend to land on the side they start from. C. Human belief influences the probability of a result. D. The end result is always uncertain, with a 50/50 chance. 30. What does the underlined word “quirky” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Boring or uninteresting. B. Standard or typical. C. Unusual or unconventional. D. Disordered or unstructured. 31. Who presents the Ig Nobel Prizes to the winners? A. Real Nobel Prize winners. B. Scientists having a sense of humor. C. Political or social celebrities. D. Ig Nobel Prize organizers. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了搞笑诺贝尔奖的设立目的、获奖研究以及颁奖典礼等相关情况。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The Ig Nobel Prizes, established in 1991, are an amusing alternative to the distinguished Nobel Prizes, honoring research that “makes people laugh, then think”.(搞笑诺贝尔奖设立于1991年，是著名诺贝尔奖的一个有趣的替代品，旨在表彰那些“让人先笑后思”的研究。)”可知，搞笑诺贝尔奖的主要目的是表彰那些既有趣又引人深思的研究。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Additionally, a probability experiment involving more than 350,000 coin throws revealed that a thrown coin is more likely to land on the side it started from, offering unexpected understanding into chance and probability.(此外，一项涉及超过35万次抛硬币的概率实验显示，抛出的硬币更有可能落在其起始的一面，这为我们提供了对机会和概率的意外理解。)”可知，抛硬币的研究揭示了硬币倾向于从它们开始的一面落下。故选B。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“The prizes draw attention to a range of odd but fascinating studies.(这些奖项将人们的注意力引向了一系列奇特但引人入胜的研究。)”和下文“In 2004, one of the Ig Nobel Prizes was awarded to Jillian Clarke. She investigated the scientific soundness of the “five-second rule”, a popular belief that food dropped on the floor is still safe to eat if picked up within five seconds. Some 2006 Ig Nobel Prize winners found that female malaria mosquitoes are equally attracted to the smell of human feet and Limburger cheese. This research, which won the Biology Prize, suggests that these odors could be used to develop innovative mosquito control methods.(2004年，搞笑诺贝尔奖之一授予了Jillian Clarke。她调查了“五秒规则”的科学合理性，这是一个流行的观点，即食物掉在地上后，如果在五秒内捡起，仍然是安全的。2006年的一些搞笑诺贝尔奖获得者发现，雌性疟疾蚊子对人类脚部和林堡干酪的气味同样感兴趣。这项获得生物学奖的研究表明，这些气味可以用来开发创新的蚊虫控制方法。)”可知，过去几年里，同样别具一格的研究也曾获此殊荣，划线词的意思对应上文的“odd”，第三段列举的这些研究都是不寻常或非传统的。由此可知，quirky意为“不寻常或非传统的”。故选C。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Held annually in mid-September, around the time the real Nobel Prizes are announced, the Ig Nobel Prize ceremony is a unique mixture of humor and science, where real Nobel Prize winners present the awards.(搞笑诺贝尔奖颁奖典礼每年于9月中旬举行，大约在真正诺贝尔奖公布的时候，它是一个独特的幽默与科学的混合体，由真正的诺贝尔奖获得者颁发奖项。)”可知，为获奖者颁发搞笑诺贝尔奖的是真正的诺贝尔奖获得者。故选A。 D In the U. S., people eat more protein than they need to, which might not be bad for human health, but does pose a problem for the country’s waterways. The nation’s wastewater is loaded with the leftovers (残留物) from protein digestion: nitrogen (氮) compounds that can feed harmful algal blooms (藻华) and pollute the air and drinking water. Maya Almaraz, a biogeochemist at the University of California, Davis, and her team wanted to see how much of this nitrogen entered into the U. S. wastewater system because of a protein-heavy diet. The researchers found that the majority of nitrogen pollution present in wastewater — some 67 to 100 precent — is a by-product of water people consume. Once it enters the environment, the nitrogen can have a series of ecological impacts. It helps algae grow much faster than they would normally, which is harmful to humans, other animals and plants. And when the algae eventually die, the problem is not over. Microorganisms (微生物) that feed on dead algae use up the oxygen in the water, leading to “dead zones”, where many species simply cannot survive, in rivers, lakes and oceans. Although it is possible to treat algal blooms, many of the current methods are not always effective at getting rid of all of the harmful growth. Some of these methods can even lead to additional pollution. So the best strategy for dealing with the effects of nitrogen pollution is prevention, says Patricia Glibert, an ocean scientist at the University of Maryland. Almaraz and her team suggest that controlling nitrogen pollution could be approached more quickly with a change in eating habits that could save billions of dollars in the long term. 32. Which aspect of Americans’ diet does Almaraz’s research focus on ? A. Its amount. B. Its variety. C. Its make-up. D. Its effect. 33 What causes “dead zones” in the water? A. Death of lots of healthy algae. B. No oxygen for many species. C. Microorganisms’ over-consumption of nutrients. D. Poisonous chemicals released by harmful algae. 34. What is the problem with current algal bloom treatment methods? A. They are too costly. B. They are time-consuming. C. They may cause more pollution. D. They may kill all algae. 35. What does the text mainly tell us? A. Prevention is better than cure in treating air pollution. B. Researchers find solutions to the wastewater problem. C. It is high time to treat wild algae growth. D. Eating too much protein harms the planet. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国人吃过多蛋白质会导致氮污染，并且这种污染会促进有害藻类的生长，最终对环境造成负面影响。作者呼吁改变生活习惯来控制氮污染，从而在长期上节省资金。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The nation’s wastewater is loaded with the leftovers (残留物) from protein digestion: nitrogen (氮) compounds that can feed harmful algal blooms (藻华) and pollute the air and drinking water.(这个国家的废水中充满了蛋白质消化的残余物：氮化合物，这些化合物会滋生有害的藻华，污染空气和饮用水)”以及第二段中“Maya Almaraz, a biogeochemist at the University of California, Davis, and her team wanted to see how much of this nitrogen entered into the U. S. wastewater system because of a protein-heavy diet.(加州大学戴维斯分校的生物地球化学家玛雅·阿尔玛拉兹和她的团队想知道，由于蛋白质含量高的饮食，有多少氮进入了美国的废水系统)”可知，加州大学戴维斯分校的生物地球化学家玛雅·阿尔玛拉兹和她的团队研究关注的是美国人饮食由于蛋白质含量高，美国的水道中含有蛋白质消化的残余物：氯化合物，该物质对生物、空气和饮用水等造成了影响。由此可知，阿尔玛拉兹研究关注的是美国人饮食造成的影响。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Microorganisms (微生物) that feed on dead algae use up the oxygen in the water, leading to “dead zones”, where many species simply cannot survive, in rivers, lakes and oceans.(以死藻为食的微生物耗尽了水中的氧气，导致河流、湖泊和海洋中的“死区”，许多物种根本无法在那里生存)”可知，以死藻为食的微生物耗尽了水中的氧气，导致河流、湖泊和海洋中的“死区”。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Some of these methods can even lead to additional pollution.(其中一些方法甚至会导致额外的污染)”可知，当前的一些处理方法容易造成额外污染，即二次污染。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The nation’s wastewater is loaded with the leftovers (残留物) from protein digestion: nitrogen (氮) compounds that can feed harmful algal blooms (藻华) and pollute the air and drinking water.(这个国家的废水中充满了蛋白质消化的残余物：氮化合物，这些化合物会滋生有害的藻华，污染空气和饮用水)”以及通读全文，文章介绍了美国人吃过多蛋白质会导致氮污染，并且这种污染会促进有害藻类的生长，最终对环境造成负面影响。作者呼吁改变生活习惯来控制氮污染，从而在长期上节省资金。由此可知，D选项“Eating too much protein harms the planet.(摄入过多的蛋白质对地球有害)”概括文章主要内容，符合题意。故选D。 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。 Loud noise can be very damaging to your hearing, whether it’s a loud burst or years of exposure.

It’s my honor to share my perspective on the use of artificial intelligence. Generally speaking, there are numerous advantages to AI, such as processing information at a high speed and assisting us with complex tasks, which in turn, enhance our ability to learn and grow. Nevertheless, as we embrace these technological advances, it is crucial to be aware of the potential drawbacks. It may cause job losses as machines replace human labor in some fields. Moreover, over-reliance on AI might weaken our independent thinking and creativity. For middle school students like us, we should use AI rationally. We can utilize educational apps as extra learning resources, but should not rely on them to complete our homework. AI should be viewed as a tool to assist our studies and life, rather than a substitute for our own efforts. Thank you! 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达是一篇应用文。要求考生写一篇演讲稿，参加学校将举行一次以人工智能为主题的英语演讲比赛。 【详解】1.词汇积累 许多的：numerous→a variety of 加强：enhance→strengthen 导致：cause→lead to 此外：moreover→in addition 2.句式拓展 同义句改写 原句：Generally speaking, there are numerous advantages to AI, such as processing information at a high speed and assisting us with complex tasks, which in turn, enhance our ability to learn and grow. 拓展句：Generally speaking, there are numerous advantages to AI, ranging from processing information at a high speed to assisting us with complex tasks, which in turn, enhance our ability to learn and grow. 【点睛】[高分句型1]Generally speaking, there are numerous advantages to AI, such as processing information at a high speed and assisting us with complex tasks, which in turn, enhance our ability to learn and grow.（运用了which引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2]It may cause job losses as machines replace human labor in some fields.（运用了as引导原因状语从句） 第二节（满分25分） 67. 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。 On a stormy night, Tom stood by the large window of the small roadside cafe, gazing at the pouring rain and sighing. A flash of lightning cut through the sky, followed by a thunderous boom that seemed to split the night. The sound of the storm kept reminding Tom of how unpredictable life could be. When Tom attended school, he had dreamed of becoming a doctor to help others. But life took an unexpected turn. His mother was seriously ill. To take care of her and pay for her medical expenses, he had to give up his dream and worked at the cafe during the night shift. Every night, as he served customers and cleaned up, he couldn’t help but wonder what life would have been like if his mother hadn’t fallen ill. As Tom was seated behind the counter, lost in thought about his life’s unexpected turns, suddenly a loud crash broke the silence of the night. Driven by curiosity or perhaps a sense of urgency, Tom rushed out of the cafe with an umbrella. There, in the dim light cast by the cafe’s sign, he found a middle-aged man lying on the wet ground nearby with a motorcycle lying next to him, its engine silent. Tom approached cautiously. The man was struggling to move, his face twisted in pain. Mud and rainwater stained his clothes, and one of his ankles appeared to be injured. Tom quickly helped the man sit up and leaned him against the cafe wall for support. “Sir, are you okay?” Tom asked, his voice steady but filled with concern. The man groaned (呻吟) as his hand wrapped tightly around his ankle. “I think I twisted it in the fall,” he managed to say through gritted (咬紧的) teeth. The rain continued to pour, making the situation even more miserable. Tom knew the poor man needed help and that he had to act fast. 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。 Putting the umbrella in the man’s hand, Tom dashed back to the cafe. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two days later, Tom received a card and a cheque from the man. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Putting the umbrella in the man’s hand, Tom dashed back to the cafe. He made an emergency call, providing the exact location of the accident and briefly describing the man’s situation. Then he grabbed an ice bag from the fridge and hurried back into the rain again. Gently, he applied the ice to the man’s swollen ankle, hoping to ease the swelling. To take the man’s mind off his pain, he began sharing stories about his own dream and the unexpected turn in his life. With Tom by his side, the man felt somewhat better. They both breathed a sigh of relief as the ambulance arrived, and the medical team carefully transported the man to safety. Two days later, Tom received a card and a cheque from the man. Inside the card, the man wrote, “Thank you for your kindness and help.

B Cai Lei, former vice-president of JD Group, reveals how amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis (诊断) set him on the path to find a cure. Born to a farmer’s family in 1978, Cai has been deeply influenced by his father’s idea that “one has to fight for himself”. Since primary school, he has been getting up before 5 am to run and study English. At 29, Cai became chief tax manager in Vanke Co. In 2011, he joined JD Group, where he led his team to develop the first electronic invoice (发票) in China. Wherever he worked, he always tried his best to create new value. Diagnosed with ALS in 2019, he would have only two to five years to live. ALS is usually caused by the gradual death of motor neurons (神经元), which makes normally easy movements like drinking water, eating, going to the bathroom, and speaking impossible. Finally, patients will completely rely on machines and others’ help to survive. So far, only two medicines are available to treat ALS, but they can at most extend patients’ life for several months without improving their living quality. To develop effective drugs is the only way to save ALS patients. However, the intense effort required, which is unprofitable for so rare an illness, makes it a mission almost impossible. It usually takes 10-15 years to complete the research cycle for a new drug and the cost is $1-3billion. Take Alzheimer’s disease for example. Between 2000 and 2017, investment in new drugs for this more common disease was over $600 billion, and 99.6% of the research on more than 300 drugs failed. Cai decided to take matters into his own hands. He started his own medical technology company, built his own research team, and volunteered to try more than 30 new medicines which all failed. However, he has decided that even if all efforts prove fruitless, he will continue. To shoot the last bullet, he has decided to donate his brain and spinal cord for scientific research. He will not die for nothing. 24. What kind of person is Cai Lei? A. Extremely ambitious and well-mannered. B. Quite reliable and clear-headed. C. Highly motivated and strong-willed. D. Well informed and warm-hearted. 25. What might happen to people diagnosed with ALS? A. Maintaining a normal life by taking medicines. B Losing the ability to think and speak normally. C. Needing external assistance to survive in the end. D Dying within months of a confirmed diagnosis. 26. Why is Alzheimer’s disease mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To prove Alzheimer to be a common disease. B. To talk about the severity of Alzheimer. C. To ask for more investment in the research on ALS. D. To explain the difficulty of finding a cure for ALS. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A man who never gives in. B. Joint efforts to fight ALS. C. ASL, a rare deadly disease. D. Suffering of a man with ALS. C The Ig Nobel Prizes, established in 1991, are an amusing alternative to the distinguished Nobel Prizes, honoring research that “makes people laugh, then think”. The name is a clever wordplay on “ignoble”, meaning something lacking honor, reflecting the humorous and unconventional nature of the discoveries. However, beneath the foolishness often lies great scientific value, showing that curiosity can lead to significant understanding, even from seemingly insignificant questions. The prizes draw attention to a range of odd but fascinating studies. In 2024, some researchers were awarded for demonstrating that real plants can copy the appearance of artificial ones they are planted alongside, revealing the remarkable adaptability of nature. Another 2024 study demonstrated that dead fish can swim upstream by using energy from fast-moving water currents, which could inspire energy-efficient designs in engineering. Additionally, a probability experiment involving more than 350,000 coin throws revealed that a thrown coin is more likely to land on the side it started from, offering unexpected understanding into chance and probability. In previous years, similarly quirky studies have been honored. In 2004, one of the Ig Nobel Prizes was awarded to Jillian Clarke. She investigated the scientific soundness of the “five-second rule”, a popular belief that food dropped on the floor is still safe to eat if picked up within five seconds. Some 2006 Ig Nobel Prize winners found that female malaria mosquitoes (蚊子) are equally attracted to the smell of human feet and Limburger cheese. This research, which won the Biology Prize, suggests that these odors could be used to develop innovative mosquito control methods. Held annually in mid-September, around the time the real Nobel Prizes are announced, the Ig Nobel Prize ceremony is a unique mixture of humor and science, where real Nobel Prize winners present the awards. The event contains a number of running jokes, including Miss Sweetie Poo, a little girl who repeatedly cries out “Please stop, I’m bored”, if speakers go on too long. Paper airplanes are traditionally thrown by the audience, adding to the funny nature of the event. 28. What is the main purpose of the Ig Nobel Prizes? A. To compete with the traditional Nobel Prizes. B. To honor significant breakthroughs in science. C. To inspire discoveries with entertainment value D. To recognize funny and thought-provoking research. 29. What does the study of coin throwing reveal? A. Possibility cannot be predicted with certainty. B. Coins tend to land on the side they start from. C. Human belief influences the probability of a result. D. The end result is always uncertain, with a 50/50 chance. 30. What does the underlined word “quirky” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Boring or uninteresting. B. Standard or typical. C. Unusual or unconventional. D. Disordered or unstructured. 31. Who presents the Ig Nobel Prizes to the winners? A. Real Nobel Prize winners. B. Scientists having a sense of humor. C Political or social celebrities. D. Ig Nobel Prize organizers. D In the U. S., people eat more protein than they need to, which might not be bad for human health, but does pose a problem for the country’s waterways. The nation’s wastewater is loaded with the leftovers (残留物) from protein digestion: nitrogen (氮) compounds that can feed harmful algal blooms (藻华) and pollute the air and drinking water. Maya Almaraz, a biogeochemist at the University of California, Davis, and her team wanted to see how much of this nitrogen entered into the U. S. wastewater system because of a protein-heavy diet. The researchers found that the majority of nitrogen pollution present in wastewater — some 67 to 100 precent — is a by-product of water people consume. Once it enters the environment, the nitrogen can have a series of ecological impacts. It helps algae grow much faster than they would normally, which is harmful to humans, other animals and plants. And when the algae eventually die, the problem is not over. Microorganisms (微生物) that feed on dead algae use up the oxygen in the water, leading to “dead zones”, where many species simply cannot survive, in rivers, lakes and oceans. Although it is possible to treat algal blooms, many of the current methods are not always effective at getting rid of all of the harmful growth. Some of these methods can even lead to additional pollution. So the best strategy for dealing with the effects of nitrogen pollution is prevention, says Patricia Glibert, an ocean scientist at the University of Maryland. Almaraz and her team suggest that controlling nitrogen pollution could be approached more quickly with a change in eating habits that could save billions of dollars in the long term. 32. Which aspect of Americans’ diet does Almaraz’s research focus on ? A. Its amount. B. Its variety. C. Its make-up. D. Its effect. 33. What causes “dead zones” in the water? A. Death of lots of healthy algae. B. No oxygen for many species. C. Microorganisms’ over-consumption of nutrients. D. Poisonous chemicals released by harmful algae. 34. What is the problem with current algal bloom treatment methods? A. They are too costly. B. They are time-consuming. C. They may cause more pollution. D. They may kill all algae. 35. What does the text mainly tell us? A. Prevention is better than cure in treating air pollution. B. Researchers find solutions to the wastewater problem. C. It is high time to treat wild algae growth. D. Eating too much protein harms the planet. 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。 Loud noise can be very damaging to your hearing, whether it’s a loud burst or years of exposure.

A flash of lightning cut through the sky, followed by a thunderous boom that seemed to split the night. The sound of the storm kept reminding Tom of how unpredictable life could be. When Tom attended school, he had dreamed of becoming a doctor to help others. But life took an unexpected turn. His mother was seriously ill. To take care of her and pay for her medical expenses, he had to give up his dream and worked at the cafe during the night shift. Every night, as he served customers and cleaned up, he couldn’t help but wonder what life would have been like if his mother hadn’t fallen ill. As Tom was seated behind the counter, lost in thought about his life’s unexpected turns, suddenly a loud crash broke the silence of the night. Driven by curiosity or perhaps a sense of urgency, Tom rushed out of the cafe with an umbrella. There, in the dim light cast by the cafe’s sign, he found a middle-aged man lying on the wet ground nearby with a motorcycle lying next to him, its engine silent. Tom approached cautiously. The man was struggling to move, his face twisted in pain. Mud and rainwater stained his clothes, and one of his ankles appeared to be injured. Tom quickly helped the man sit up and leaned him against the cafe wall for support. “Sir, are you okay?” Tom asked, his voice steady but filled with concern. The man groaned (呻吟) as his hand wrapped tightly around his ankle. “I think I twisted it in the fall,” he managed to say through gritted (咬紧的) teeth. The rain continued to pour, making the situation even more miserable. Tom knew the poor man needed help and that he had to act fast. 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。 Putting the umbrella in the man’s hand Tom dashed back to the cafe. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two days later, Tom received a card and a cheque from the man. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
