B At 17 years old, most are still learning basic driving skills in America. Once the car is parked, the day is packed with school activities and hanging out with friends. But at 17, Maggie Taraska had a distinctive goal in mind: Fly alone across the United States. Both of Maggie’s parents were retired from the air force, so the urge to fly is in Maggie’s blood. She went to flight school, put in the hours with an instructor and started on her training hours. But on her first takeoff, something didn’t sound right. The plane had lost one of the landing gear wheels. “As soon as I took off, I just heard something was wrong instinctively,” said Maggie. Her instructor talked to her from the ground while she circled a few times to gather herself. “I was frightened, thinking about all the bad things that could have happened; I was thinking about how my parents were on the ground as I knew they were watching.” Stress and panic can cause any of us to make careless decisions. It takes mental practice to calm down. “Take a few breaths, focus on the moment and follow the plan. I panicked a bit, but followed my training.” Maggie was a little shaky as she talked to the tower, but she had a perfect belly landing that skidded on the infield grass. Her father couldn’t be prouder. “By the time I saw Maggie on her approach, it was a better approach than I could have flown,” he said. Cheers erupted in the tower, and Maggie took a deep breath and climbed out of the plane. Credit does go to the crew for talking to her. Yes, we all need someone to talk us through challenging times, but in the end, it was all Magic at the controls. We could all be forgiven for calling it quits after an experience like that. After all, it was a bit distressing. So walking away would be understandable. But five days later, Maggie was going through her pre-flight safety inspections, checking the wings, especially checking the landing gear. “It feels amazing” she said, “It gives an incredible sense of liberation.” At some point in our lives, we will all be in a situation for the first time. It’s scary. But if you face your fears, the whole world opens up to you. 24. What mainly influenced Maggie’s urge to fly alone? A Her parents’ background in air force. B. Her experience of school activities. C. Her instructor’s encouragements. D. Her basic driving skills. 25 What did Maggie do when hearing something wrong during takeoff? A. She landed the plane immediately. B. She thought of her parents’ expectation. C. She circled a few times to calm herself down. D. She continued flying as if nothing had happened. 26. Which words would best describe Maggie’s personality? A. Proud and intelligent. B. Positive and cautious. C. Patient and responsible. D. Fearless and determined. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. A good beginning is half done. C. Fortune favors the brave. D. Practice makes perfect. C Microsoft Excel’s auto-correction has long annoyed casual users. Dashes (破折号) before lists of numbers are misread as a minus sign. Phone numbers lose their leading zeroes. Credit-card numbers get re-expressed in scientific notation, like 1.30521E + 17. Geneticists struggle with a particular version of this problem. A gene (基因) called Membrane Associated Ring-CH-type finger 1, commonly known as MARCH1, is, for instance, frequently re-encoded as the date March 1. Something similar happens to genes in the Septin family, of which SEPT1 is a member, and to Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Family Member E41, often known as DEC2. This problem was first noticed in 2004, but was brought to wider attention in 2016 by Mark Ziemann of Deakin University, in Australia. By surveying 166,000 genomics-related papers published between 2014 and 2020, he and his co-authors showed that the number of papers using Excel has steadily increased, and the proportion with auto-correct errors is at around 30%. Errors have also been flagged by researchers in other languages. In Portuguese, for instance, AGO2 (Argonaute RISC Catalytic Component 2) rebrands itself as Agosto 2. Dutch users experience problems with MEII (Meiotic Double-Stranded Break Formation Protein 1), “Mei” being the Dutch for “May”. And geneticists in Finland, where the first month of the year is called Tammikuu, find TAMM41 encoding itself as 41st of January. This continuing state of affairs is surprising. In August 2020, the committee which standardises gene names renamed those beginning MARC, MARCH and SEPT to begin MTARC, MARCHF and SEPTIN, and rebranded DEC1 as DELEC1. Other problematic gene names remained, but this was widely seen as a step in the right direction. Dr Zieman’s latest paper, though, suggests that few researchers have taken it. Such errors often seem amusing rather than dangerous. But they reflect a deeper problem, which is that spreadsheets allow such silent errors, too well camouflaged for authors or their editors to spot, to go undetected for years. To stop this, Dr Ziemann recommends researchers abandon software like Excel in favor of scheduled code written with scientific applications in mind. Such programs are more difficult to be autocorrected and easier to examine. Whether his advice will be taken this time remains to be seen. 28. As for Excel’s auto-correct issue, which statement might Dr Ziemann agree with? A. Switching to science-specific coding tools. B. Relying on Excel’s advanced function. C. Adopting the renamed gene terms. D. Avoiding auto-correct in papers. 29. What does the underlined word “camouflaged” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Decorated deliberately. B. Hidden unnoticeably. C. Corrected automatically. D. Increased sharply. 30. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To emphasize the drawback of autocorrection in scientific research. B. To explain a problem-solving procedure for autocorrection. C. To recommend a new software to replace Excel. D. To advocate a campaign to abandon Excel. D Of the many patients who need an organ from a donor, 90% go without. About 240 million people live with rare genetic discases, most of which cannot be treated. Each year poor diets cause more than 10 million early deaths. Suffering on such an immense scale can appear hopeless. However, a technique called CRISPR gene editing promises to help deal with these issues and many more and proper regulation can help it develop. CRISPR is like an editor for DNA. It can rewrite DNA, removing harmful mutations (突变) or adding protective ones. This summer, clinical trials (试验) will start on pig organs edited for human transplants. Last year, the first new treatment went on the market. It seemingly cures sickle- cell disease and beta-thalassemia, two blood disorders that affect millions. If ongoing trials succeed, a one-time treatment might protect against heart attacks for life. CRISPR can also help farming. It can increase outputs or protect crops from climate change. Soon, consumers may get healthier, tastier foods. But now is a crucial time. Since its discovery in 2012, CRISPR has replaced old, less-effective ideas. Gene treatment, which uses viruses to insert genes, can treat rare genetic diseases but is expensive. Genetically modified (GM) crops, which borrow genes from other species, face opposition in Europe. CRISPR offers a new way. But to succeed, it needs continuous investment, which means achieving real-world successes. For this to happen, scientists must show they can get CRISPR into more body cells easily and cheaply. If it can create personalized treatments for individual mutations, it will be even more useful. This requires new science and better regulation. Current regulations for rare-disease drugs aren’t suitable for new medicines. They stop patients from getting new treatments. Developing drugs for small groups has always been hard, and many CRISPR companies are struggling. But CRISPR is programmable, so the same drug can target different mutations. If safety testing and manufacturing standards are loosened, small-batch drugs for rare diseases can be made more cheaply. For patients who may die before drug approval, this is a good trade-off. Agriculture also needs reform. In many regions, gene-edited foods are regulated like GM foods, though they’re different. Gene-edited plants have their own genes adjusted, not genes from other species. Britain plans to pass new, looser laws for gene-edited foods to address climate change threats to food security. But public trust in regulators and scientists could be a problem. 31. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The challenges and requirements for CRISPR’s success. B. The differences between CRISPR and GM farming. C. The economic benefits of genetic engineering. D. The history of CRISPR development. 32. What can be inferred about current safety testing standards? A. They are unnecessary for CRISPR treatments. B. They delay treatment access for urgent cases. C. They ensure complete safety for all patients. D. They focus only on agricultural products. 33. As for CRISPR gene editing, the author is ______. A. critical B. doubtful C. indifferent D. positive 34. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. CRISPR: Medical Breakthroughs and Funding Shortages. B. CRISPR: Public Distrust in Agricultural Innovation. C. CRISPR: Potential and Regulatory Adaptation. D. CRISPR: Limitations in Current Applications. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people talk aloud to themselves. ____35____ Unlike the silent mental conversations termed inner speech, this behavior involves voiced expression. Researchers have observed that the phenomenon frequently arises in particular circumstances; those living alone, for instance, demonstrate heightened engagement with such self-dialogue. This inspires the researchers to investigate its psychological roots. ____36____ Talking out loud is a common way for people who spend lots of time alone to keep themselves company. For example, children who grow up alone practice self-talk more frequently than those who have brothers and sisters — as well as adults who had an imaginary companion when they were kids. Another significant factor driving people to talk out loud to themselves is the need to deal with stressful situations, particularly when they feel uncertain about how to act or what emotions to process. Research has shown that individuals tend to self-talk more when they are feeling anxious or dealing with repetitive thoughts. ____37____ Self-talk serves as a tool that helps them work through these challenges. Age also plays a role in this behavior. Young children talk out loud to themselves as they are learning social roles. ____38____ The elderly are also more likely to self-talk, which may be due to their need for memory assistance or the result of lowered self-control. Talking out loud to yourself is perfectly normal and even beneficial. It can improve how well you perform at a task. In one study, basketball players performed better when they talked through their moves out loud in an encouraging or instructional way. There can also, surprisingly, be a social aspect. In that case, self-talk blurs (模糊) the line between internal and interpersonal communication. ____39____ A. It is a behavior known as external self-talk. B. Their self-talk focus more on recalling past events. C. Upsetting experiences make people want to resolve them. D. And eventually their self-talk becomes internalized as inner speech. E. Social disconnection clearly stands out as one of several key reasons. F. This behavior is commonly seen in people who have difficulty socializing. G. It is a way to let other people directly or indirectly know what we are thinking. 第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 In today’s fast-paced, achievement-oriented society, productivity is often associated with time management. We often think that to be productive, we need to master time-management techniques. But have you ever noticed that when you’re emotionally worn out, you struggle to stay organized or motivated? Or when you’re overwhelmed, tasks like answering emails or doing laundry pile up? Unresolved emotions, such as fears of disappointing others or missing out on opportunities, often drive people to over-commit. Even with a well-organized calendar, you may find yourself squeezing in extra tasks, only to feel overwhelmed and rushed, which can lead to anxiety or even depression. The problem is not your time-management skills, but emotional overload. True productivity isn’t about doing more in less time; it’s about managing your energy, emotions, and well-being over the long term. Research shows that employees who practice emotional regulation experience 20-30% higher productivity than those who rely only on time management. The good news is that emotional management isn’t about grand gestures — it grows in small, intentional shifts. Start by pausing before agreeing to new commitments. When someone asks you to take on an additional task, don’t immediately agree. Ask for some time to consider it and review your other obligations. Besides, separate your work outcomes from your self-worth. By shifting from a perfectionist mindset to a growth-oriented one, you will focus on learning rather than only on achieving perfect outcomes. To get out of a seemingly cruel cycle, it takes patience and sensibility within yourself. Change is hard, but every step, no matter how small, is a step toward reclaiming your well-being. 40.
