There are some 8,000 plant species in the Garden.Guided by medieval recipes,I experiment with berries,flowers,and bark(树皮)to uncover colours hidden in nature.For example,I've transformed roses into vivid red dyes and turned Jade Vine into pink paint.One of my proudest achievements is creating "Newton's Gold”—a golden-yellow ink made from the bark of Isaac Newton's historic apple tree.I thought I'd end up with black but it's a dark golden yellow—unlike modern methods that chemically force predictable results.These discoveries remind me that nature holds endless surprises,but they demand patience and respect. My work isn't just about mixing colours —it's about storytelling.Collaborations with historians and dancers connect my dyes to broader themes.I dyed feathers for historians to study ancient costumes and created fabrics reflecting nature's cycles for a dance performance.By reviving forgotten techniques,such as a 15th-century ink recipe,I bridge the past and present,showing how ancient methods can inspire sustainable solutions to today's environmental issues. Nature's colours are ever-changing.The fading of dyes reveals the temporary beauty of natural materials,just as ecosystems' delicate balance which demands protection.In the Botanic Garden, colours from plants and everyday materials teach me to accept change.These colours aren't just art supplies;they symbolize nature's strength and remind us to rethink our relationship with the environment Through workshops and a colour database,I invite people to view nature differently.My work is a return to the old ways of making colour from my garden herbs,establishing a deeper connection between art and nature. 24.What does the author do on the DYE project? A.Organize and guide garden tours. B.Collect and classify plant species. C.Design and run a database of artworks. D.Develop and spread plant-based dyes. 25.Why is "Newton's Gold"ink significant? A.It honors Newton's great contributions. B.It shows nature's unpredictable potentials. C.It links apple trees to scientific inspirations D.It exposes limitations of modern ink production. 26.What does the underlined word "reviving"mean in paragraph 3? A.Bringing back. B.Putting away. C.Searching for. D.Reflecting on. 27.What is the ultimate goal of the DYE project? A.To improve natural dye stability. B.To protect nature's ecological balance. C.To strengthen sustainable art-nature bonds. D.To bridge nature and art through gardening. 语篇类型 这篇语篇属于记叙文，主要叙述了作者在剑桥大学植物园开展的名为 “DYE” 的项目相关经历及该项目所蕴含的意义等内容，通过描述具体事例展现整个过程。 主题语境 人与自然（自然生态），文章围绕利用植物园中的植物开发植物染料以及从中感悟到自然生态相关内容等展开叙述，体现了人与自然的联系。 主旨要义 作者介绍了自己在剑桥大学植物园主导的 “DYE” 项目，讲述了自己探索植物染料的过程、这些植物染料所带来的意义，包括体现自然的奇妙、连接过去与现在、启示人们思考与环境的关系等，最终目的是邀请人们换个角度看待自然，加强艺术与自然的联系。 答案解析 24.

The decline in modern tomato flavor results from disturbed sugar-acid balance.Traditional varieties had higher sugar levels balanced with moderate acidity.A recent study by Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences(SAAS)shows alarming trends:pink tomatoes lost over 26% sugar-acid ratio,while red types dropped 22%,coupled with rising organic acids.This imbalance creates sour-dominated flavors with weakened sweetness. The situation is made worse by the loss of special taste components.These elements work together to create a rich flavor.They can make our brain sense more sweetness even when the sugar level stays the same.However,in modern farming,people have accidentally removed the genes(基因)for these taste components while focusing on higher output and disease resistance.Commercial pressures also play a role.For easier shipping,tomatoes are harvested before they are mature and subjected to cold storage.These practices unintentionally affect how flavor-giving chemicals are released,leaving tomatoes structurally undamaged but flavorless. Hope,however,lies in the gene pool of traditional and wild tomato varieties.A 2019 comprehensive study on genes,analyzing over 700 tomato types,identified 4,873 previously undocumented genes,including rare genetic variations that improve flavors.By reintroducing these "lost"genetic elements through scientific methods,scientists aim to balance marketability and taste quality.The challenge remains complex,yet the solution is clear:to rediscover the flavors in our childhood memory,we must first understand the genetic codes(密码)left behind in the drive for progress. 28.Why does the author mention the tomato experience in paragraph 1? A.To explain the health benefits of fresh tomatoes. B.To show the change in tomato flavor over time. C.To highlight the significance of a family tradition. D.To illustrate the disappearance of a summer delight. 29.What does SAAS's recent study find? A.Higher sugar levels in modern tomatoes. B.More organic acids in traditional tomatoes. C.The loss of sweet-sour balance in tomatoes. D.Taste difference between pink and red tomatoes. 30.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.The advantages of gene selections. B.The roles commercial practices play. C.The challenges tomato farming faces. D.The reasons behind less-flavored tomatoes. 31.Which is a potential solution to the core problem discussed in the text?

B 写作意图题。题目：作者为何在第一段提及番茄的童年经历？ 首段通过对比童年"沙甜多汁的番茄"（sandy, sweet-sour juice）与成年后"坚硬苍白、无味的超市番茄"（firm, pale, lacking flavor），揭示了番茄风味随时间的变化（change in flavor over time），故选B项。A项（健康益处）、C项（家庭传统）和D项（夏季美食消失）均非核心意图。 29. C 细节理解题。题目：上海农科院（SAAS）的最新研究发现什么？ 由题干"SAAS"定位到第二段。根据"pink tomatoes lost over 26% sugar-acid ratio... coupled with rising organic acids（粉番茄糖酸比下降26%……同时有机酸增加）"可知，研究核心是番茄甜酸平衡的丧失（loss of sweet-sour balance），故选C项。A项（现代番茄糖分更高）与原文矛盾；B项（传统番茄酸更多）未提及；D项（粉红与红番茄差异）是数据细节，非结论。 30. D 段落大意题。题目：第三段主要讨论什么？ 该段从三方面分析番茄风味流失的原因： 基因流失："accidentally removed the genes for taste components（意外剔除了风味基因）"； 商业压力："harvested before mature... cold storage（未成熟采摘与冷藏）"； 化学物质释放受阻："affect flavor-giving chemicals（影响风味化学物质释放）"。 综上，本段主要阐述番茄风味下降的原因（reasons behind less-flavored tomatoes），故选D项。 A项（基因选择优势）、B项（商业实践作用）和C项（种植挑战）均为片面信息。 31. D 推理判断题。题目：文中核心问题的潜在解决方案是什么？ 由题干"solution"定位到尾段。根据"reintroducing these 'lost' genetic elements... from wild tomato varieties（通过科学方法重新引入野生番茄的‘丢失’基因）"可知，解决方案是利用野生番茄的稀有基因（rare genes in wild varieties），故选D项。A项（高产物基因）、B项（番茄类型分析）和C项（抗病基因）均偏离"恢复风味"的核心。 重点单词（音标、词性、词义） sun-ripened /ˈsʌnraɪpənd/ adj. 自然成熟的 measurable /ˈmeʒərəbl/ adj. 可量化的 moderate /ˈmɒdərət/ adj. 适度的 alarming /əˈlɑːmɪŋ/ adj. 惊人的 output /ˈaʊtpʊt/ n. 产量 resistance /rɪˈzɪstəns/ n. 抗性 commercial /kəˈmɜːʃl/ adj. 商业的 mature /məˈtʃʊə(r)/ vi. 成熟 undocumented /ʌnˈdɒkjumentɪd/ adj. 未记录的 variation /ˌveəriˈeɪʃn/ n. 变异 marketability /ˌmɑːkɪtəˈbɪləti/ n. 市场适应性 drive /draɪv/ n. 驱动力 重点词块（固定搭配、习语、词组）及汉语意思 lick plates clean 吃得一干二净 rooted in 根源于 sugar-acid balance 糖酸平衡 organic acids 有机酸 taste components 风味成分 disease resistance 抗病性 cold storage 冷藏 gene pool 基因库 genetic variations 基因变异 scientific methods 科学方法 genetic codes 遗传密码 in the drive for progress 在进步驱动下 D New research reveals that"intensive domain-specific training"like mathematics fundamentally reshapes brain activity during complex problem solving,offering insights into the cognitive neuroscience(认知神经科学)of concentration.A study published in Cognitive Neuroscience compared graduate students in math-related fields with peers in non-mathematical fields to investigate how long-term specialized practice influences thinking processes. Participants watched video demonstrations of multi-step mathematical problems while wearing brain-wave-monitoring caps to track brain activity.The study found clear differences:non-math students' front brain areas (linked to memory and focus)worked harder as they struggled to follow logical steps.In contrast,math-intensive students displayed synchronized(同步的)slow brain waves connecting the frontal and upper-back brain areas,which are responsible for abstract reasoning and spatial processing.These slow brain rhythms,typically observed during deep sleep,appeared to facilitate efficient communication between distant neural networks during intense focus. These findings indicate that repeated exposure to complex problem solving allows math-trained students to automate basic logical steps(e.g.formula application),which saves mental energy for complex analysis.This "neural efficiency"—the brain's adaptability through training —mirrors patterns in other experts:experienced musicians' brains show similar slow waves when composing and athletes enter similar"flow states"during competitions.Most importantly,researchers confirm such neural efficiency isn't inborn but develops through deliberate practice.Students with equal IQs but less math training lacked these distinctive wave patterns.However,those who engaged in repetition and intentional study eventually developed such patterns,becoming more efficient in solving problems. By the same logic,these findings hint at a trade-off that people should keep in mind — particularly as artificial intelligence(AI)and other tools offer tempting shortcuts for various forms of problem solving.Dr.Elena Torres,lead researcher of the study,further warns that over-reliance on AI might weaken our brain's natural problem-solving abilities."Each time we off-load a problem to a calculator or ask AI to summarize an essay,we are losing an opportunity to improve our own skills and practise deep concentration for ourselves."Torres urges"a strategic balance—use AI for repetitive labor,thanks to its fast data processing and continuous operation,but reserve complex challenges for deep,tech-free focus." 32.What was the main purpose of the new research? A.To study how specialized training affects brains. B.To investigate how AI tools influence learning. C.To compare brain activity among math experts. D.To measure IQ levels across different specialists. 33.How did non-math students' brains differ from those of math students in complex problem solving? A.Their front-top parts worked together. B.They showed random sleep-like waves. C.Their front area worked with extra effort. D.They processed information automatically. 34.What is crucial to developing"neural efficiency"according to the text? A.Long-term focused practice. B.Inborn abstract reasoning talent. C.Random exposure to complex problems. D.Training on memorizing basic logical steps. 35.What do Dr.Elena Torres' quotes highlight in the last paragraph? A.AI tools limit independent learning opportunities. B.Technology improves efficiency in complex tasks. C.Overusing shortcuts harms cognitive development D.AI tools reduce motivation for deep concentration. 语篇类型：说明文 主题语境：人与社会（科学与技术） 主旨要义：本文介绍了一项关于数学专项训练如何重塑大脑活动的研究，指出长期专注练习能提升神经效率，并警告过度依赖AI可能削弱人类自身的认知能力。 32.

Scientists have discovered that short bursts of activity can burn more energy than continuous exercise.For example,several groups of quick walks or stair climbs for just 10 to 30 seconds use 20%to 60%more energy than walking nonstop for the same distance. 36 Similar to a car using more fuel when starting a journey,our body works harder at the beginning of any movement.This is because it needs to warm up our muscles and get into a rhythm.These short bursts of activity might not last long,but they require a lot of energy. 37 As someone who sits most of the day,I used to think exercise meant hours at the gym. But when I tried replacing my afternoon coffee breaks with three 90-second stair climbs,something surprising happened. 38 My body adjusted to the activity,and what once felt like a struggle gradually turned into a manageable routine.As this happened,I unexpectedly felt more focused and energized throughout the day.These"exercise snacks"fit well into my busy schedule,proving that working out doesn't require large blocks of time. 39Every stair climb or short walk wakes up the body.Health isn't built in a day at the gym—it's made through small,consistent actions.Simply replace one of your usual sitting breaks with just a single minute of walking,and you'll be amazed at how small actions can reshape your physical vitality. 40 A.Now I see fitness differently. B.Every step counts,no matter how short it is! C.This finding matches perfectly with my own experience. D.This happens because the body needs extra energy to start moving. E.Actually,short exercise breaks can increase your energy consumption. F.At first,even 20 seconds left me breathless,but over time,it became easier G.The more time and effort you put into exercise,the more calories you willburn. 语篇类型：说明文 主题语境：健康生活与运动科学 本文大意：短文通过科学发现和个人经历，说明短时间、高强度的间歇性运动（如快速步行或爬楼梯）比持续运动更能消耗能量，并倡导将这种“运动零食”融入日常生活以提升健康水平。 36.

The first two days went smoothly.We drew stone patterns and recorded colour variations. Clara's artistic abilities 43 well with my systematic data collection skills.However,on Wednesday morning, 44 struck.While climbing to our usual observation spot,I tripped,sending our measurement 45 rolling down the hillside.My heart sank as we watched our only compass (指南针)disappear into thick bushes. "Without those tools.…"I said,frustration choking my voice."Wait,"Clara interrupted, 46 the afternoon shadows stretching across the rocks."Remember what Mr.Evans taught about using natural markers?"Her eyes lit up with a(n) 47 . We spent the afternoon 48 Clara tracked shadow lengths while I compared rock layers. When shadows proved 49 ,we used fern(蕨类植物)growth patterns as directional guides.

B As an artist working at Cambridge University Botanic Garden, I am leading a special 14-month project called DYE. My mission is to discover plant-based dyes (染料)and share them with visitors, researchers and artists through events, performances, a colour database and projects linked to the Garden's plant collections. There are some 8,000 plant species in the Garden. Guided by medieval recipes, I experiment with berries, flowers, and bark (树皮) to uncover colours hidden in nature. For example, I've transformed roses into vivid red dyes and turned Jade Vine into pink paint. One of my proudest achievements is creating “Newton's Gold”- a golden-yellow ink made from the bark of Isaac Newton's historic apple tree. I thought I'd end up with black but it's a dark golden yellow - unlike modern methods that chemically force predictable results. These discoveries remind me that nature holds endless surprises, but they demand patience and respect. My work isn't just about mixing colours --it's about storytelling. Collaborations with historians and dancers connect my dyes to broader themes. I dyed feathers for historians to study ancient costumes and created fabrics reflecting nature's cycles for a dance performance. By reviving forgotten techniques, such as a 15th-century ink recipe, I bridge the past and present, showing how ancient methods can inspire sustainable solutions to today's environmental issues. Nature's colours are ever-changing. The fading of dyes reveals the temporary beauty of natural materials, just as ecosystems’ delicate balance which demands protection. In the Botanic Garden, colours from plants and everyday materials teach me to accept change. These colours aren't just art supplies; they symbolize nature's strength and remind us to rethink our relationship with the environment. Through workshops and a colour database, I invite people to view nature differently. My work is a return to the old ways of making colour from my garden herbs, establishing a deeper connection between art and nature. 24. What does the author do on the DYE project? A. Organize and guide garden tours. B. Collect and classify plant species. C.Design and run a database of artworks. D. Develop and spread plant-based dyes. 25.Why is “Newton’s Gold” ink significant? A.

To improve natural dye stability. B. To protect nature's ecological balance. C. To strengthen sustainable art-nature bonds. D. To bridge nature and art through gardening. C On a hot summer afternoon, a child eagerly watched as their grandmother sliced a sun-ripened tomato topped with sugar - a refreshing summer treat. The sandy, sweet-sour juice with melted sugar always made one lick plates clean. Decades later, that same child, now an adult, finds disappointedly supermarket tomatoes firm to the touch, pale in colour, and totally lacking in the rich flavor. Beyond a mere loss in our childhood memory, the shift is a measurable decline rooted in the farming changes and modern needs. The decline in modern tomato flavor results from disturbed sugar-acid balance. Traditional varieties had higher sugar levels balanced with moderate acidity. A recent study by Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences (SAAS) shows alarming trends: pink tomatoes lost over 26% sugar-acid ratio, while red types dropped 22%, coupled with rising organic acids. This imbalance creates sour-dominated flavors with weakened sweetness. The situation is made worse by the loss of special taste components. These elements work together to create a rich flavor. They can make our brain sense more sweetness even when the sugar level stays the same. However, in modern farming, people have accidentally removed the genes (基因) for these taste components while focusing on higher output and disease resistance. Commercial pressures also play a role. For casier shipping, tomatoes are harvested before they are mature and subjected to cold storage. These practices unintentionally affect how flavor-giving chemicals are released, leaving tomatoes structurally undamaged but flavorless. Hope, however, lies in the gene pool of traditional and wild tomato varieties.A 2019 comprehensive study on genes, analyzing over 700 tomato types, identified 4,873 previously undocumented genes, including rare genetic variations that improve flavors. By reintroducing these“lost" genetic elements through scientific methods, scientists aim to balance marketability and taste quality. The challenge remains complex, yet the solution is clear: to rediscover the flavors in our childhood memory, we must first understand the genetic codes (密码) left behind in the drive for progress. 28. Why does the author mention the tomato experience in paragraph 1? A. To explain the health benefits of fresh tomatoes. B. To show the change in tomato flavor over time. C. To highlight the significance of a family tradition. D. To illustrate the disappearance of a summer delight. 29. What does SAAS's recent study find? A. Higher sugar levels in modern tomatoes. B. More organic acids in traditional tomatoes. C. The loss of sweet-sour balance in tomatoes. D.Taste difference between pink and red tomatoes. 30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The advantages of gene selections. B. The roles commercial practices play. C.The challenges tomato farming faces. D. The reasons behind less-flavored tomatoes. 31. Which is a potential solution to the core problem discussed in the text? A. Discovering highly productive genes. B. Analyzing different types of tomatoes. C. Introducing disease-resistant elements. D. Using rare genes in wild tomato varieties. D New research reveals that “intensive domain-specific training”like mathematics fundamentally reshapes brain activity during complex problem solving, offering insights into the cognitive neuroscience (认知神经科学)of concentration. A study published in Cognitive Neuroscience compared graduate students in math-related fields with peers in non-mathematical fields to investigate how long-term specialized practice influences thinking processes. Participants watched video demonstrations of multi-step mathematical problems while wearing brain-wave-monitoring caps to track brain activity. The study found clear differences: non-math students’ front brain areas (linked to memory and focus) worked harder as they struggled to follow logical steps. In contrast, math-intensive students displayed synchronized (同步的) slow brain waves connecting the frontal and upper-back brain areas, which are responsible for abstract reasoning and spatial processing. These slow brain rhythms, typically observed during deep sleep, appeared to facilitate efficient communication between distant neural networks during intense focus. These findings indicate that repeated exposure to complex problem solving allows math-trained students to automate basic logical steps (e.g, formula application), which saves mental energy for complex analysis. This “neural efficiency”-the brain's adaptability through training - mirrors patterns in other experts: experienced musicians’ brains show similar slow waves when composing and athletes enter similar “flow states” during competitions. Most importantly, researchers confirm such neural efficiency isn't inborn but develops through deliberate practice. Students with equal IQs but less math training lacked these distinctive wave patterns. However, those who engaged in repetition and intentional study eventually developed such patterns, becoming more efficient in solving problems. By the same logic, these findings hint at a trade-off that people should keep in mind 一 particularly as artificial intelligence (AI) and other tools offer tempting shortcuts for various forms of problem solving. Dr. Elena Torres, lead researcher of the study, further warns that over-reliance on AI might weaken our brain's natural problem-solving abilities. “Each time we off-load a problem to a calculator or ask AI to summarize an essay, we are losing an opportunity to improve our own skills and practise deep concentration for ourselves.” Torres urges “a strategic balance -use AI for repetitive labor, thanks to its fast data processing and continuous operation, but reserve complex challenges for deep, tech-free focus.” 32. What was the main purpose of the new research? A.To study how specialized training affects brains. B.To investigate how AI tools influence learning. C.To compare brain activity among math experts. D. To measure IQ levels across different specialists. 33. How did non-math students’ brains differ from those of math students in complex problem solving? A. Their front-top parts worked together. B. They showed random sleep-like waves. C.Their front area worked with extra effort. D. They processed information automatically. 34. What is crucial to developing “neural efficiency”according to the text? A. Long-term focused practice. B. Inborn abstract reasoning talent. C.Random exposure to complex problems. D. Training on memorizing basic logical steps. 35.What do Dr. Elena Torres’ quotes highlight in the last paragraph? A. AI tools limit independent learning opportunities. B.Technology improves efficiency in complex tasks. C. Overusing shortcuts harms cognitive development. D. AI tools reduce motivation for deep concentration. 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。 Have you ever thought that taking short breaks during a walk could actually help you burn more calories? Scientists have discovered that short bursts of activity can burn more energy than continuous exercise. For example, several groups of quick walks or stair climbs for just 10 to 30 seconds use20% to 60% more energy than walking nonstop for the same distance. ____36 Similar to a car using more fuel when starting a journey, our body works harder at the beginning of any movement. This is because it needs to warm up our muscles and get into a rhythm. These short bursts of activity might not last long, but they require a lot of energy. 37_______ As someone who sits most of the day, I used to think exercise meant hours at the gym. But when I tried replacing my afternoon coffee breaks with three 90-second stair climbs, something surprising happened. 38 My body adjusted to the activity, and what once felt like a struggle gradually turned into a manageable routine. As this happened, I unexpectedly felt more focused and energized throughout the day. These “exercise snacks" fit well into my busy schedule, proving that working out doesn't require large blocks of time. _______39 Every stair climb or short walk wakes up the body. Health isn't built in a day at the gym - it's made through small, consistent actions. Simply replace one of your usual sitting breaks with just a single minute of walking, and you'll be amazed at how small actions can reshape your physical vitality._________40 A. Now I see fitness differently. B. Every step counts, no matter how short it is! C.This finding matches perfectly with my own experience. D. This happens because the body needs extra energy to start moving. E. Actually, short exercise breaks can increase your energy consumption. F. At first, even 20 seconds left me breathless, but over time, it became easier. G. The more time and effort you put into exercise, the more calories you will burn. 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last spring, Clara and I teamed up for a school geology project studying unusual rock formations on Pine Hill. 41 with notebooks and basic tools, we set off eagerly, 42____________that this adventure would teach us more than just about rocks.

He was always full of creative ideas. Once, when the English teacher asked the class to make a presentation on a topic that all students found a bit boring, Mike came up with a fun idea. He suggested turning the presentation into a short play. Eventually, he and his classmates acted out the key points of the topic, and everyone was interested in it. The teacher was very surprised and praised Mike for his creativity. Mike was also a very helpful person. Last term, his classmate Tom fell ill and had to stay at home for a week. Mike voluntarily went to Tom's house after school every day to help him with his homework. Following Feynman's famous learning approach, he tried his best to explain the lessons to Tom in his own words, with patience and clarity. As a result, Tom was able to catch up with the class. When Tom and his parents expressed their thanks, Mike smiled and said, “We all need to look out for each other. Helping Tom is helping myself too.” As the final exam was approaching, Mike's headteacher Mrs. Blake gave him a challenging task. She asked Mike to lead the class committee to organize a special class meeting. Mike knew that the students were all busy preparing for the exam, and they might not be interested. He thought hard, but nothing that came to mind seemed to meet his expectations. He then decided to seek advice from his classmates and asked them what they would like to do in the class meeting. Some said they actually preferred to review the lessons, and others expressed their wishes to relax. "Can't we play some games?" Susan said jokingly. Mike listened attentively to everyone and began to consider how to satisfy their needs. 注意: 1，续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
