Right after finishing university, I got married and registered in a college to get some hands-on education. I also worked in a group home for adults with disabilities.
There, I met Terry, a thirty-eight-year-old man with Down syndrome. Terry had the mental capacity of a small child. Unlike the other residents, Terry hadn’t grown up in facility housing. He’d always lived with his parents until they passed away. I could see the enormous change in lifestyle was a tough adjustment for him. Terry and I quickly formed a bond. We’d often have coffee together, or dance in the living room.
Two years later, I was carrying a baby. As my due date neared, I felt a mix of joy and sorrow. Though thrilled that I would soon be a mother, I was afraid that I wouldn’t get to see Terry frequently anymore. Then an idea hit me. I should just take Terry home to live with me.
After countless conversations and a towering pile of paperwork, a forty-year-old Ukrainian man moved into my house. When Michael was born, Terry immediately fell in love with him, and affectionately nicknamed him Bugaboo — a funny name that stuck for years.
As the years passed, Michael and Terry became inseparable. We never really discussed who Terry was in our lives, and Michael never thought to ask. Terry had just always been there, permanent and beloved.
Then one day, when we were out getting Michael’s haircut, something happened that forever changed the way I thought about family. While the stylist cut his hair, she asked him if he had any brothers or sisters. Michael responded, “Yes, I do. I have a brother named Terry and he’s forty-five years old!”
“Forty-five!” the hairstylist responded, confused. “Don’t you mean four or five years old?”
“Nope, he’s forty-five!”
On the drive home I asked Michael why he told the hairstylist that Terry was his brother. In a very matter-of-fact way, he said, “Because he is and I love him.” I drove home speechless, tears rolling down my face. Without being taught or told, my five-year-old had figured out the true meaning of the family.
4. How was Terry different from the other residents in the group home?
A. He had an unusual disease.
B. His parents passed away lately.
C. He had a lower mental capacity.
D. He grew up living with his parents.
5. Why did the author take Terry home to live with her?
A. Because Terry had difficulty adjusting to the life change.
B. Because she needed Terry’s support for the coming baby.
C. Because she feared losing regular contact with Terry.
D. Because Terry was in urgent need of medical help.
6. What made Michael refer to Terry as his brother in front of the hairstylist?
A. He was instructed by the author to call Terry his brother.
B. He learned this through previous family discussions.
C. He formed a family connection with Terry naturally.
D. He misunderstood Terry’s role due to his young age.
7. What message does the author want to convey?
A. Family is about love, not just blood relationships.
B. Helping others can make life more meaningful.
C. Raising a child with disabilities requires patience and love.
D. Children are better at finding the true meaning of family.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在大学毕业后在一个为残疾成年人设立的集体之家工作时,结识了患有唐氏综合症的特里,两人建立了深厚的感情。作者怀孕后担心不能经常见到特里,于是把他带回家一起生活。作者的儿子迈克尔和特里感情很好,当被问到特里是谁时,迈克尔自然地称特里为他的兄弟,这让作者明白了家庭的真正意义。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Unlike the other residents, Terry hadn’t grown up in facility housing. He’d always lived with his parents until they passed away.(与其他居民不同,特里不是在福利机构的住房里长大的。在他父母去世之前,他一直和他们住在一起)”可知,特里与集体之家的其他居民的不同之处在于他是和父母一起长大的。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Though thrilled that I would soon be a mother, I was afraid that I wouldn’t get to see Terry frequently anymore. Then an idea hit me. I should just take Terry home to live with me.(虽然我为即将成为一名母亲而激动不已,但我担心我不能再经常见到特里了。然后我想到了一个主意。我应该把特里带回家和我一起住)”可知,作者把特里带回家一起住是因为她害怕失去与特里的定期联系。故选 C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“On the drive home I asked Michael why he told the hairstylist that Terry was his brother. In a very matter-of-fact way, he said, “Because he is and I love him.” I drove home speechless, tears rolling down my face. Without being taught or told, my five-year-old had figured out the true meaning of the family.(在开车回家的路上,我问迈克尔为什么他告诉发型师特里是他的兄弟。他非常实事求是地说:“因为他就是(我的兄弟),而且我爱他。” 我默默地开车回家,眼泪顺着脸颊流下来。我的五岁的儿子在没有被教导或告知的情况下,已经明白了家庭的真正意义)”可知,迈克尔自然地与特里建立了家庭联系,所以他在发型师面前称特里为他的兄弟。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Without being taught or told, my five-year-old had figured out the true meaning of the family.(我的五岁的儿子在没有被教导或告知的情况下,已经明白了家庭的真正意义)”以及迈克尔称特里为他的兄弟,因为他爱特里,可知,主要讲述了作者在大学毕业后在一个为残疾成年人设立的集体之家工作时,结识了患有唐氏综合症的特里,两人建立了深厚的感情。作者怀孕后担心不能经常见到特里,于是把他带回家一起生活。作者的儿子迈克尔和特里感情很好,当被问到特里是谁时,迈克尔自然地称特里为他的兄弟,这让作者明白了家庭的真正意义。由此推知,作者想要传达的信息是家庭是关于爱,而不仅仅是血缘关系。故选A。
C
Most of us don’t eat as much fruit and vegetables as we know we should, but that goal might now be a bit more achievable. Scientists in Spain have engineered a new “Golden Lettuce” with 30 times more nutrients than the regular green stuff.
Lettuce isn’t the most exciting vegetable, but you’ll often find it in sandwiches, wraps, stews and other meals as a way to cram in extra nutrients. But maybe there’s a way to get more health benefits out of less lettuce.
A team from the Research Institute for Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology(IBMCP)has now genetically engineered the humble lettuce to boost its nutrients. Specifically, they increased the levels of an antioxidant (抗氧化剂) called beta-carotene, which your body uses to make vitamin A. This is important for healthy vision, immune (免疫的)function, and cell growth, and is thought to be protective against Alzheimer’ s, heart disease and some kinds of cancer. The levels of beta-carotene in the Golden Lettuce leaves were up to 30 times higher than those of regular lettuce. Not only that, but these antioxidants were more bioaccessible too, meaning our digestive systems can absorb them more easily from our food. Higher amounts of beta-carotene gives the leaves a striking yellow color, hence the nickname Golden Lettuce.
Increasing those levels wasn’t completely straightforward, however. Beta-carotene is normally produced in a plant’s chloroplasts (叶绿体), the cellular structures that perform photosynthesis (光合作用) — but if you jam too much in there, it reduces the plant’s ability to gain energy from sunlight. So, the team found a way to move the antioxidant into different parts of the plant cells.
“Our work has successfully produced beta-carotene and made it build up in specific parts of cells where it is not normally found by combining biotechnological techniques and treatments with high light intensity,” said Manual Rodríguez Concepción, lead author of the study.
This Golden Lettuce could soon join a genetically enhanced salad with more nutritious radishes and peas, and antioxidant-rich purple tomatoes and potatoes.
8. What does the underlined phrase “cram in” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Forcefully push. B. Gradually reduce.
C. Carefully measure. D. Casually ignore.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. How beta-carotene is created.
B. How beta-carotene is absorbed.
C. Why Golden Lettuce looks yellow.
D. Why Golden Lettuce is more nutritious.
10. Why did the team move beta-carotene out of chloroplasts?
A. To store it better at other parts of cells.
B. To make beta-carotene easier to be produced.
C. To protect the plant’s solar energy harvesting.
D. To increase the plant’s ability to perform photosynthesis.
11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. People prefer salads with the Golden Lettuce over others.
B. People will soon be able to buy the Golden Lettuce in the market.
C. There will be more genetically engineered vegetables in the future.
D. Golden Lettuce are more nutritious than purple tomatoes and potatoes.
【答案】8 A 9. D 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了西班牙科学家通过基因工程培育出了一种 “黄金生菜”,其营养成分比普通生菜高 30 倍,以及这种生菜的相关特性和培育过程。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Lettuce isn’t the most exciting vegetable, but you’ll often find it in sandwiches, wraps, stews and other meals as a way to cram in extra nutrients. (生菜不是最令人兴奋的蔬菜,但你会经常在三明治、卷饼、炖菜和其他食物中发现它,作为一种cram in额外营养的方式。)” 可知,人们把生菜加入到其他食物中是为了增加营养,“cram in” 意思是 “强行塞入”。故选A。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段 “A team from the Research Institute for Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology (IBMCP) has now genetically engineered the humble lettuce to boost its nutrients. Specifically, they increased the levels of an antioxidant (抗氧化剂) called beta-carotene, which your body uses to make vitamin A. This is important for healthy vision, immune (免疫的) function, and cell growth, and is thought to be protective against Alzheimer’ s, heart disease and some kinds of cancer. The levels of beta-carotene in the Golden Lettuce leaves were up to 30 times higher than those of regular lettuce. Not only that, but these antioxidants were more bioaccessible too, meaning our digestive systems can absorb them more easily from our food. Higher amounts of beta-carotene gives the leaves a striking yellow color, hence the nickname Golden Lettuce. (来自植物分子和细胞生物学研究所(IBMCP)的一个研究小组现在已经对不起眼的生菜进行了基因改造,以增加其营养成分。具体来说,它们增加了一种叫做β -胡萝卜素的抗氧化剂的水平,这种抗氧化剂是你的身体用来制造维生素a的。这对健康的视力、免疫功能和细胞生长很重要,而且被认为可以预防老年痴呆症、心脏病和某些癌症。黄金生菜中β -胡萝卜素的含量是普通生菜的30倍。不仅如此,这些抗氧化剂也更容易被生物吸收,这意味着我们的消化系统可以更容易地从食物中吸收它们。大量的β -胡萝卜素使叶子呈醒目的黄色,因此被称为黄金生菜。)可推知,第三段主要讲了金色生菜更有营养的原因。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Beta-carotene is normally produced in a plant’s chloroplasts (叶绿体), the cellular structures that perform photosynthesis (光合作用) — but if you jam too much in there, it reduces the plant’s ability to gain energy from sunlight. So, the team found a way to move the antioxidant into different parts of the plant cells. (β-胡萝卜素通常在植物的叶绿体中产生,叶绿体是进行光合作用的细胞结构 —— 但如果你在那里塞入太多,就会降低植物从阳光中获取能量的能力。所以,研究小组找到了一种方法,将这种抗氧化剂转移到植物细胞的不同部分。)” 可知,将 β- 胡萝卜素从叶绿体中转移出来是为了保护植物获取太阳能的能力。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This Golden Lettuce could soon join a genetically enhanced salad with more nutritious radishes and peas, and antioxidant - rich purple tomatoes and potatoes. (这种黄金生菜可能很快就会加入到一种基因改良的沙拉中,这种沙拉还包括更有营养的萝卜和豌豆,以及富含抗氧化剂的紫色西红柿和土豆。)” 可推知,未来将会有更多的基因工程蔬菜。故选C。
D
Every painter has a process, but the painstaking revisions and countless tiny edits are invisible to those who only see the final product. In a study published in PLOS ONE, researchers used X-rays to reveal how 3000-year-old paintings inside Egypt’s Theban Necropolis unfolded step by step. The findings offer some clues about the creative process used to produce these ancient masterworks.
In recent years, scientists and art historians around the world have teamed up to use X-rays to identify paint colors and detect lines buried beneath the surface of famous works of art. Every paint color has a distinct chemical composition. By exposing paintings to X-rays and measuring how they are absorbed, scientists can fingerprint the paints both at the surface and below. The technique allows scientists to see the mistakes artists covered up, as well as the layer-by-layer revısions that resulted in famous end results.
Most of this work has happened in museums or laboratories, where smaller objects can be brought to the machine. That’s tough to do with paintings on the wall of an underground tomb. So, using two mobile X-ray machines, a team of art historians, Egyptologists, and engineers brought the lab to the tombs instead, allowing the researchers to look beneath the surface without destroying it.
When the researchers emerged to analyze their data, the results surprised them. Many Egyptologists believed the large number of Egyptian paintings inside the Necropolis would have required an assembly line (流水线) process, with no room for artists to return and redo work. Yet X-rays of a well-known portrait (肖像)of Rameses Ⅱ, who ruled Egypt from 1279B. C. E. to 1213 B. C. E., showed evidence of an earlier version underneath. Earlier images of Rameses Ⅱ showed a shorter crown and a different necklace — “an extraordinary insight into the artists’ creative process,” the team writes in the paper.
The fact that they reworked paintings at all challenges many historians’ assumptions about Egyptian art as preplanned and precise, says Philippe Martinez, lead author on the study and an Egyptologist at Sorbonne University. “What we see is that nothing is perfect. And that’s great, because they were human beings.”
12. What do we know about ancient Egyptian paintings according to the text?
A. They were all created in a single attempt.
B. They were painted using unknown techniques.
C. They have been perfectly preserved for 3000 years.
D. Their creation process was more complex than thought.
13. Why did the researchers use mobile X-ray machines?
A. Because they wanted to move the tombs to the lab.
B. Because it was difficult to take paintings in tombs to the lab.
C. Because the paintings in tombs were too large to be analyzed.
D. Because the traditional X-ray machines couldn’t work in tombs.
14. What made the researchers surprised about Rameses Ⅱ’s portrait?
A. It gave proof of previous revisions.
B. It required an assembly line process.
C. It demonstrated the artists’ superb skills.
D. It was painted in a completely different style.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Painters Discover the Precise Egyptian Art
B. Painters Uncover the Different Egyptian Art
C. X-rays Discover the Famous Egyptian paintings
D. X-rays Uncover the Imperfect Egyptian paintings
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述了研究人员通过 X 射线揭示了埃及绘画创作过程,发现这些古老的绘画并非如人们之前认为的那样完美和预先规划好的,而是存在修改和不完美之处。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Many Egyptologists believed the large number of Egyptian paintings inside the Necropolis would have required an assembly line process, with no room for artists to return and redo work. Yet X - rays of a well - known portrait of Rameses Ⅱ showed evidence of an earlier version underneath. (许多埃及古物学家认为,大墓地中的大量埃及绘画需要流水线作业,艺术家没有时间回头重新创作。然而,拉美西斯二世的一幅著名肖像的 X 射线显示,下面有早期版本的痕迹。)” 以及第五段 “The fact that they reworked paintings at all challenges many historians’ assumptions about Egyptian art as preplanned and precise. (他们对绘画进行返工这一事实挑战了许多历史学家对埃及艺术预先计划和精确的假设。)” 可推知,古代埃及绘画的创作过程比人们之前认为的要复杂。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Most of this work has happened in museums or laboratories, where smaller objects can be brought to the machine. That’s tough to do with paintings on the wall of an underground tomb. So, using two mobile X-ray machines, a team of art historians, Egyptologists, and engineers brought the lab to the tombs instead, allowing the researchers to look beneath the surface without destroying it. (大部分工作都是在博物馆或实验室进行的,在那里可以把较小的物体带到机器上。这对地下墓室墙壁上的画作来说是很难做到的。因此,一个由艺术史学家、埃及学家和工程师组成的团队使用两台移动x光机,将实验室带到坟墓里,使研究人员能够在不破坏坟墓的情况下看到表面下的东西。)” 可知,研究人员使用移动 X 射线机是因为很难将墓穴中的绘画带到实验室。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Yet X-rays of a well-known portrait (肖像) of Rameses Ⅱ, who ruled Egypt from 1279B. C. E. to 1213 B. C. E., showed evidence of an earlier version underneath.

(然而,拉美西斯二世的一幅著名肖像的 X 射线显示,下面有早期版本的证据。早期的拉美西斯二世图像显示出较短的王冠和不同的项链 —— 研究小组在论文中写道,“这是对艺术家创作过程的非凡洞察”。)” 可知,拉美西斯二世肖像让研究人员惊讶的是它提供了之前修改的证据。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“In a study published in PLOS ONE, researchers used X - rays to reveal how 3,000-year-old paintings inside Egypt's Theban Necropolis unfolded step by step. The findings offer some clues about the creative process used to produce these ancient masterworks. (在《公共科学图书馆・综合》上发表的一项研究中,研究人员利用 X 射线揭示了埃及底比斯大墓地内 3000 年前的绘画是如何一步步完成的。这些发现为这些古代杰作的创作过程提供了一些线索。)”以及最后一段 “The fact that they reworked paintings at all challenges many historians’ assumptions about Egyptian art as preplanned and precise, says Philippe Martinez, lead author on the study and an Egyptologist at Sorbonne University. “What we see is that nothing is perfect. And that’s great, because they were human beings.” (这项研究的第一作者、索邦大学(Sorbonne University)的埃及古物学家菲利普·马丁内斯(Philippe Martinez)说,他们对绘画进行了重新加工,这一事实挑战了许多历史学家关于埃及艺术是预先计划好的、精确的假设。“我们看到的是,没有什么是完美的。这很好,因为他们也是人。)” 可知,文章主要讲的是 X 射线揭示了埃及绘画并不完美的创作过程。选项 D“X 射线揭示了不完美的埃及绘画” 为最佳标题,能够概括全文内容。故选D。

The moment he stepped onto Henan’s land, Luoyang’s charm seized his heart.(这位美国人类学家在大学期间对亚洲研究产生兴趣后,于 2011 年首次来到中国。他一踏上河南的土地,洛阳的魅力就俘获了他的心)”以及后文 “The city’s 5,000-year history and status as former capital of 13 dynasties fascinated Welker so much that he decided to stay permanently, eventually becoming an English teacher and starting a family with his Chinese wife.(这座城市 5000 年的历史和作为 13 个朝代的前首都的地位让韦尔克非常着迷,以至于他决定永久留下来,最终成为一名英语教师,并和他的中国妻子组建了家庭)”可知,此处应该是说他对洛阳的兴趣从最初的好奇变成了一种长久的热爱。可推知 G 选项“最初的学术好奇心很快就变成了一种毕生的热爱”符合语境,起到承上启下的作用。故选G。

18题详解】
根据下文“As a passionate advocate for Luoyang’s heritage, he frequently visits historical landmarks such as the White Horse Temple — China’s first Buddhist temple — documenting their significance through engaging videos and insightful online posts. Through his videos and articles, Welker shares his adopted hometown’s cultural treasures with the whole world, which makes international audiences change perceptions about China’s heartland and develops cross-cultural understanding (作为洛阳遗产的热情倡导者,他经常参观历史地标,如中国第一座佛教寺庙白马寺,通过引人入胜的视频和有深刻见解的在线帖子记录它们的重要性。通过他的视频和文章,韦尔克与全世界分享他的第二故乡的文化宝藏,这让国际观众改变了对中国中心地带的看法,并促进了跨文化理解)”可知,此处应该是说他对洛阳文化的投入不仅仅是为了个人享受,还为了更广泛的传播和交流。 B 选项“他的投入远远超出了单纯的个人享受”符合语境,能引出后文内容。故选B。
【19题详解】
根据下文“The honor proves that cultural exchange can reshape perceptions and build meaningful dialogue.(这一荣誉证明了文化交流可以重塑观念并建立有意义的对话)”可知,此处应该提到他获得了某种荣誉。E 选项“他对文化的参与为他赢得了 “洛阳大使” 的称号”符合语境,“The honor” 指代 “Luoyang Ambassador” title。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文“He believes cultural exchange holds the key to better international relations. “China and America have more in common than people realize,” Welker says.(他认为文化交流是改善国际关系的关键。“中国和美国的共同点比人们意识到的要多,” 韦尔克说)”可知,此处应该继续说他对于中美关系以及文化交流的看法。D 选项“他认为关注共同价值观可以加强联系”符合语境,进一步阐述了他对中美文化交流的观点。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述了中国动画电影《哪吒 2》在吸引全球观众的同时,展示了中国日益增长的文化自信。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:这部奇幻冒险电影将传统神话与现代叙事结合起来,对于青少年观众来说,它既具有教育意义又具有娱乐性。固定搭配为 “combine...with...”(把…… 与…… 结合起来)或 “combine...and...”(把…… 和…… 结合)。故填with/and。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这部奇幻冒险电影将传统神话与现代叙事结合起来,对于青少年观众来说,它既具有教育意义又具有娱乐性。句中已有谓语动词“combines”,所以“make” 要用非谓语形式。“make”与主语“This fantasy adventure”之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词 making作结果状语。故填making。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这部电影关于自我认同的核心主题深深触动了年轻人。这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词 “theme”,“center”是名词,意为“中心”,其形容词形式“central” 意为 “中心的;主要的;核心的”。故填central。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:和它的前一个版本一样,它讲述了哪吒在平衡他的超自然力量和人类情感的旅程 —— 这是对努力应对社会期望的青少年的一个隐喻。此处表示 “一个对于青少年努力应对社会期望的隐喻”,表泛指,且“metaphor” 是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词 a。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:通过生动的动画和幽默的对话,这部电影在没有听起来过于说教的情况下,传授了关于勇气和友谊的宝贵经验。句子描述的是电影《哪吒 2》的一般特征和情况,属于客观事实,所以应用一般现在时。主语“the movie” 是第三人称单数,根据一般现在时中主语是第三人称单数时,谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式的规则,所以谓语动词 “teach” 要用 teaches。故填teaches。
【41题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意:改进后的 3D 效果创造出了宏大战斗的惊险场景。“effect” 是可数名词,意为 “效果;影响”,根据后面的谓语动词“create” 是原形,可知主语应该是复数形式,所以这里要用 “effect” 的复数形式 effects。故填effects。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:特别令人印象深刻的是对神话场景的详细描述,比如天宫,这有助于国际观众理解中国传统文化。后面“____ help international audiences understand traditional Chinese culture”是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词是 “the detailed descriptions of mythological settings”,关系词在从句中作主语,指物,所以用关系代词 which。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。 句意:作为中国民族复兴时代有价值的文化产品,它不仅娱乐了人们,还激励年轻人欣赏他们的独特之处。“inspire sb. to do sth.”是固定搭配,意为 “激励某人做某事”。故填to appreciate。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:随着中国动画继续获得全球认可,它们在一个长期由西方工作室主导的行业中提供了新的视角。“gain”是及物动词,后面需要接名词作宾语,“recognize”是动词,意为 “认出;认可;承认”,其名词形式 “recognition” 意为 “认可;承认”,故填recognition。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:随着中国动画继续获得全球认可,它们在一个长期由西方工作室主导的行业中提供了新的视角。“industry”(行业)与 “dominate”(主导;控制)之间是被动关系,即 “行业被主导”,所以用过去分词 dominated 作后置定语修饰 “industry”。故填 dominated。

First Aid Knowledge Hits the Campus
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version 1:
First Aid Knowledge Hits the Campus
Last weekend, our school hosted a hands-on first aid training program titled “First Aid Knowledge Hits the Campus”.
First Aid instructors began with live demonstrations, teaching CPR and wound bandaging through interactive drills. Students then practiced these skills under expert guidance. The highlight was a timed emergency simulation where teams raced to perform first aid on “injured” volunteers.
The event left a lasting impact. Over 90% of participants reported feeling more confident in handling emergencies. “I finally know how to act in critical moments,” shared one participant. Teachers praised the blend of theory and practice, calling it “life-saving knowledge every student needs.”
Possible version 2:
First Aid Knowledge Hits the Campus
Last weekend witnessed an activity with the theme of “First Aid Knowledge Hits the Campus”, which brought a wealth of first aid knowledge to students.
The day kicked off with an engaging seminar led by first aid instructors, sharing their expertise through interactive demonstrations and practical sessions. What followed was first aid practice under the attentive guidance of the professionals. The climax arrived when students competed in a simulated emergency contest, where teams raced to apply skills under time pressure.
The impact of the event has been tremendous. Not only did students gain practical knowledge, but they also built confidence and improved adaptability in emergency situations. (可增加 “Mastering CPR techniques makes me feel empowered to save lives,” shared a participant.)

47. 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。
“How did tryouts go, Wendy?” Mom asked. “Terrible,” I said. “Kristie got Cinderella’s part!” “What part did you get?” “None,” I whispered. I ran to my room and started drawing in my sketchbook. Drawing always makes me feel better.
The next day, Kristi e was excited. But when the last bell rang, her mood changed. “I’m nervous, Wendy,” she said. “Will you come to rehearsal(排练)?” I wanted to say no, but when faced with my best friend, the words that came out were, “Okay — but only today.”
In the auditorium(礼堂), Ms. Carson handed out copies of the script(剧本)to the cast. I sat in the third row, wishing I were in my room drawing. Ms. Carson pulled a cardboard castle onto the middle of the stage. It was brown with small windows and doors. Ms. Carson turned on the music, and Kristie and the Prince started dancing. I had to admit, Kristie was really good. Ms. Carson hit a metal triangle with a little stick 12 times. Kristi e ran off the stage and dropped her left shoe. The curtain came down. “Thanks, everyone,” said Ms. Carson. “We’ll go through the rest tomorrow.”
“When will we get the real sets?” Kristie pointed to the cardboard castle. “These are the real sets,” Ms. Carson said. “We don’t have an art teacher this year. So that’s the best we could do.”
I thought for a moment. “Maybe there’s something we can do.”
I spent that evening drawing. In the morning, I stuck my sketchbook into my backpack and ran to the bus.
The day dragged. Finally, the last bell rang. “Thanks for yesterday,” Kristie said. “See you tomorrow.” “I’m not going home yet,” I said. “I have something to show Ms. Carson.”
After Ms. Carson saw my ideas, she talked to some other teachers. They liked my ideas too.
Over the next week, a corner of the lunchroom was filled with cardboard and paints. And lots of kids joined my work.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Para. 1: Finally, opening night arrived.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para. 2: Then Ms. Carson called me up to the stage.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Finally opening night arrived. When the curtain rose, the auditorium buzzed with amazement. In front of them were a magical land with rolling hills, a fancy carriage, and a glittering castle. Kristie, radiant in her Cinderella gown, glanced at me with a grateful smile mid-scene. She was a wonderful Cinderella. As the clock struck midnight — marked by Ms. Carson’s twelve crisp triangle chimes — Kristie fled, leaving the glittering shoe on the center of the stage. Thunderous applause erupted, and my eyes stung with pride.
Then Ms. Carson called me up to the stage. Confused, I stepped forward as the cast parted. “This production’s heart wasn’t just onstage,” she announced, holding up my sketchbook. “Wendy and her team brought our world to life.” The audience cheered as Kristie thrust a bouquet into my hands — paper flowers crafted from painted rehearsal scripts. Standing there, I was bathed in spotlights I’d never imagined earning. Everyone clapped. For me! I did get a part in the play after all. And it was just as good as being Cinderella.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,文章主要讲述了 Wendy 参加灰姑娘角色选拔失败后,陪好友 Kristie 排练时发现演出道具简陋,于是发挥绘画特长设计新道具,在众多同学的帮助下制作完成,最终在演出时大放异彩,自己也因此获得认可的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“终于,首演之夜到来了。”可知,第一段可描写全新的舞台布景、Kristie的精彩表演以及演出的成功进行描写,突出众人努力后的成果。
②由第二段首句内容“然后卡森女士叫我上台。”可知,第二段可描写Wendy得到老师的肯定、同学的感谢以及她内心的感受展开,点明她虽然没有成为舞台上的灰姑娘,但在幕后同样发挥了重要作用,收获了属于自己的荣耀。
2.续写线索:设计道具并制作→演出之夜到来→全新舞台布景惊艳众人→Kristie 精彩表演→演出成功获热烈掌声→Wendy 被老师叫上舞台→老师对 Wendy 的肯定与表扬→Kristie 送花感谢→Wendy 获得认可与成就感。

Family Programs at the National Gallery of Art are based on a philosophy of slowing down, and focus on one work of art, developing observation and thinking skills. Here are four clubs designed to inspire curiosity and promote cooperation between children and adults.
Story Club
Let’s play together while reading aloud the children’s book. We welcome all ages, especially our youngest visitors and nursing parents. Every time our playgroup will gather at the East Building entrance, and get settled in the hall with a special, shared book and other creative play activities to enjoy. The story will be read twice. Registration is not required. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Yoga Club
Move your body and be happy! Join us for a thirty-minute guided family yoga with children’s yoga specialists from Create Calm. Get your energy flowing with playful movements and learn mindfulness and breathing techniques proven to improve focus and calm. Since space is limited, tickets will be available onsite at the Study Center and are first come first served. No previous experience or equipment needed.
Pop-up Library Club
The National Gallery of Art Library shows special art books, exhibition contents, and interesting things. You can look through the colorful pages to find out what happened during an exhibition. Or you can sit comfortably and read about an artist. All you need is to be ready to learn. It’s okay to bring a notebook to write down your thoughts. The Pop-up Library Club is good for families loving arts. Sign up ahead to make sure you can come: Wait for you at the West Building entrance!
Drawing Club
National Gallery of Art teaching artists will lead 30-minute drawings inspired by works of art from the National Gallery’s collection at the Central Building entrance. Come and join us to explore different themes. All you need to bring is a colored pencil. We encourage you to bring colored markers, or paints as well, but these are optional.

Right after finishing university, I got married and registered in a college to get some hands-on education. I also worked in a group home for adults with disabilities.
There, I met Terry, a thirty-eight-year-old man with Down syndrome. Terry had the mental capacity of a small child. Unlike the other residents, Terry hadn’t grown up in facility housing. He’d always lived with his parents until they passed away. I could see the enormous change in lifestyle was a tough adjustment for him. Terry and I quickly formed a bond. We’d often have coffee together, or dance in the living room.
Two years later, I was carrying a baby. As my due date neared, I felt a mix of joy and sorrow. Though thrilled that I would soon be a mother, I was afraid that I wouldn’t get to see Terry frequently anymore. Then an idea hit me. I should just take Terry home to live with me.
After countless conversations and a towering pile of paperwork, a forty-year-old Ukrainian man moved into my house. When Michael was born, Terry immediately fell in love with him, and affectionately nicknamed him Bugaboo — a funny name that stuck for years.
As the years passed, Michael and Terry became inseparable. We never really discussed who Terry was in our lives, and Michael never thought to ask. Terry had just always been there, permanent and beloved.
Then one day, when we were out getting Michael’s haircut, something happened that forever changed the way I thought about family. While the stylist cut his hair, she asked him if he had any brothers or sisters. Michael responded, “Yes, I do. I have a brother named Terry and he’s forty-five years old!”
“Forty-five!” the hairstylist responded, confused. “Don’t you mean four or five years old?”
“Nope, he’s forty-five!”
On the drive home I asked Michael why he told the hairstylist that Terry was his brother. In a very matter-of-fact way, he said, “Because he is and I love him.” I drove home speechless, tears rolling down my face. Without being taught or told, my five-year-old had figured out the true meaning of the family.
4. How was Terry different from the other residents in the group home?
A. He had an unusual disease.
B. His parents passed away lately.
C. He had a lower mental capacity.
D. He grew up living with his parents.
5. Why did the author take Terry home to live with her?
A. Because Terry had difficulty adjusting to the life change.
B. Because she needed Terry’s support for the coming baby.
C. Because she feared losing regular contact with Terry.
D. Because Terry was in urgent need of medical help.
6. What made Michael refer to Terry as his brother in front of the hairstylist?
A. He was instructed by the author to call Terry his brother.
B. He learned this through previous family discussions.
C. He formed a family connection with Terry naturally.
D. He misunderstood Terry’s role due to his young age.
7. What message does the author want to convey?
A. Family is about love, not just blood relationships.
B. Helping others can make life more meaningful.
C. Raising a child with disabilities requires patience and love.
D. Children are better at finding the true meaning of family.
C
Most of us don’t eat as much fruit and vegetables as we know we should, but that goal might now be a bit more achievable. Scientists in Spain have engineered a new “Golden Lettuce” with 30 times more nutrients than the regular green stuff.
Lettuce isn’t the most exciting vegetable, but you’ll often find it in sandwiches, wraps, stews and other meals as a way to cram in extra nutrients. But maybe there’s a way to get more health benefits out of less lettuce.
A team from the Research Institute for Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology(IBMCP)has now genetically engineered the humble lettuce to boost its nutrients. Specifically, they increased the levels of an antioxidant (抗氧化剂) called beta-carotene, which your body uses to make vitamin A. This is important for healthy vision, immune (免疫的)function, and cell growth, and is thought to be protective against Alzheimer’ s, heart disease and some kinds of cancer. The levels of beta-carotene in the Golden Lettuce leaves were up to 30 times higher than those of regular lettuce. Not only that, but these antioxidants were more bioaccessible too, meaning our digestive systems can absorb them more easily from our food. Higher amounts of beta-carotene gives the leaves a striking yellow color, hence the nickname Golden Lettuce.
Increasing those levels wasn’t completely straightforward, however. Beta-carotene is normally produced in a plant’s chloroplasts (叶绿体), the cellular structures that perform photosynthesis (光合作用) — but if you jam too much in there, it reduces the plant’s ability to gain energy from sunlight. So, the team found a way to move the antioxidant into different parts of the plant cells.
“Our work has successfully produced beta-carotene and made it build up in specific parts of cells where it is not normally found by combining biotechnological techniques and treatments with high light intensity,” said Manual Rodríguez Concepción, lead author of the study.
This Golden Lettuce could soon join a genetically enhanced salad with more nutritious radishes and peas, and antioxidant-rich purple tomatoes and potatoes.
8. What does the underlined phrase “cram in” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Forcefully push. B. Gradually reduce.
C. Carefully measure. D. Casually ignore.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A How beta-carotene is created.
B. How beta-carotene is absorbed.
C. Why Golden Lettuce looks yellow.
D. Why Golden Lettuce is more nutritious.
10. Why did the team move beta-carotene out of chloroplasts?
A. To store it better at other parts of cells.
B. To make beta-carotene easier to be produced.
C To protect the plant’s solar energy harvesting.
D. To increase the plant’s ability to perform photosynthesis.
11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. People prefer salads with the Golden Lettuce over others.
B. People will soon be able to buy the Golden Lettuce in the market.
C. There will be more genetically engineered vegetables in the future.
D. Golden Lettuce are more nutritious than purple tomatoes and potatoes.
D
Every painter has a process, but the painstaking revisions and countless tiny edits are invisible to those who only see the final product. In a study published in PLOS ONE, researchers used X-rays to reveal how 3000-year-old paintings inside Egypt’s Theban Necropolis unfolded step by step. The findings offer some clues about the creative process used to produce these ancient masterworks.
In recent years, scientists and art historians around the world have teamed up to use X-rays to identify paint colors and detect lines buried beneath the surface of famous works of art. Every paint color has a distinct chemical composition. By exposing paintings to X-rays and measuring how they are absorbed, scientists can fingerprint the paints both at the surface and below. The technique allows scientists to see the mistakes artists covered up, as well as the layer-by-layer revısions that resulted in famous end results.
Most of this work has happened in museums or laboratories, where smaller objects can be brought to the machine. That’s tough to do with paintings on the wall of an underground tomb. So, using two mobile X-ray machines, a team of art historians, Egyptologists, and engineers brought the lab to the tombs instead, allowing the researchers to look beneath the surface without destroying it.
When the researchers emerged to analyze their data, the results surprised them. Many Egyptologists believed the large number of Egyptian paintings inside the Necropolis would have required an assembly line (流水线) process, with no room for artists to return and redo work. Yet X-rays of a well-known portrait (肖像)of Rameses Ⅱ, who ruled Egypt from 1279B. C. E. to 1213 B. C. E., showed evidence of an earlier version underneath. Earlier images of Rameses Ⅱ showed a shorter crown and a different necklace — “an extraordinary insight into the artists’ creative process,” the team writes in the paper.
The fact that they reworked paintings at all challenges many historians’ assumptions about Egyptian art as preplanned and precise, says Philippe Martinez, lead author on the study and an Egyptologist at Sorbonne University. “What we see is that nothing is perfect. And that’s great, because they were human beings.”
12. What do we know about ancient Egyptian paintings according to the text?
A. They were all created in a single attempt.
B. They were painted using unknown techniques.
C They have been perfectly preserved for 3000 years.
D. Their creation process was more complex than thought.
13. Why did the researchers use mobile X-ray machines?
A. Because they wanted to move the tombs to the lab.
B. Because it was difficult to take paintings in tombs to the lab.
C. Because the paintings in tombs were too large to be analyzed.
D. Because the traditional X-ray machines couldn’t work in tombs.
14. What made the researchers surprised about Rameses Ⅱ’s portrait?
A. It gave proof of previous revisions.
B. It required an assembly line process.
C. It demonstrated the artists’ superb skills.
D. It was painted in a completely different style.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Painters Discover the Precise Egyptian Art
B. Painters Uncover the Different Egyptian Art
C. X-rays Discover the Famous Egyptian paintings
D. X-rays Uncover the Imperfect Egyptian paintings

47. 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。
“How did tryouts go, Wendy?” Mom asked. “Terrible,” I said. “Kristie got Cinderella’s part!” “What part did you get?” “None,” I whispered. I ran to my room and started drawing in my sketchbook. Drawing always makes me feel better.
The next day, Kristi e was excited. But when the last bell rang, her mood changed. “I’m nervous, Wendy,” she said. “Will you come to rehearsal(排练)?” I wanted to say no, but when faced with my best friend, the words that came out were, “Okay — but only today.”
In the auditorium(礼堂), Ms. Carson handed out copies of the script(剧本)to the cast. I sat in the third row, wishing I were in my room drawing. Ms. Carson pulled a cardboard castle onto the middle of the stage. It was brown with small windows and doors. Ms. Carson turned on the music, and Kristie and the Prince started dancing. I had to admit, Kristie was really good. Ms. Carson hit a metal triangle with a little stick 12 times. Kristi e ran off the stage and dropped her left shoe. The curtain came down. “Thanks, everyone,” said Ms. Carson. “We’ll go through the rest tomorrow.”
“When will we get the real sets?” Kristie pointed to the cardboard castle. “These are the real sets,” Ms. Carson said. “We don’t have an art teacher this year. So that’s the best we could do.”
I thought for a moment. “Maybe there’s something we can do.”
I spent that evening drawing. In the morning, I stuck my sketchbook into my backpack and ran to the bus.
The day dragged. Finally, the last bell rang. “Thanks for yesterday,” Kristie said. “See you tomorrow.” “I’m not going home yet,” I said. “I have something to show Ms. Carson.”
After Ms. Carson saw my ideas she talked to some other teachers. They liked my ideas too.
Over the next week, a corner of the lunchroom was filled with cardboard and paints. And lots of kids joined my work.
