B More than 20 years ago,Yung-Chi Cheng,a Yale professor in drug development for cancer, had a pioneering idea:what if he could unlock the potential of ancient Chinese medicines for treating cancer?What if he could design botanical drugs that would make traditional cancer treatments work better?No one had done it before.Fellow researchers and experts advioed him to change course,because developing botanical drugs was too complicated and too risky.But Cheng didn't let the idea go. Now,in a landmark moment in cancer research,Cheng and research partners are launching the first international clinical trial for a botanical drug,YIV-906.Shwu-Hucy Liu,a postdoctoral researcher in Cheng's Yale lab,spent hours leafing through ancient Chinese texts at Yale's library seeking the properties of Chinese herbs.She returned with Huang Qin Tang,a 1,800-year-old treatment for stomach illnesses,based on which the team developed a drug and tested it on one thousand mice. What followed were years of additional testing of the drug's performance for a range of cancers in multiple human studies involving over 200 patients.The positive effects displayed again and again,YIV-906 not only reduced the side effects of radiation treatment,but also led to faster recovery and longer survival rates. All they need now are larger data sets.When the results of the international trial are available about three years from now,YIV-906 may find itself next in a long line of breakthrough drugs developed from natural products,which includes a malaria (treatment developed from the Chinese herb ginghao,the discovery of which led to a Nobel Prize for chemist Tu Youyou. It has been a long jouruey,but if Cheng and his team are successful,it could create a new approach for treating cancer.They called the new approach "WE"medicine,a combination of Western medicine and Eastem medicine."It's a totally new model.I've met with a lot of doubt, but think the results will speak for themselves,"Cheng said. 34.What did fellow researchers initially think of Cheng's research? A.Creative. B.Impressive. C.Conventional. D.Challenging. 5.Why did Liu refer to ancient Chinese texts? A.She wanted to question ancient treatment methods. B.She desired io find inspiration for treating diseases. C.She tried to document the history of Chinese herbs. D She determined to find a cure for stomach illnesses 36.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A.Steps of the drug testing. B.The application of YTV-906. C.Effects of the clinical trial.

C.To praise Tu's contributions to drug development. D.To highlight its success in medicine development. C Bacteria (know how to rough it out all over the earth.Ask most of them where they'd truly prefer to settle though,and a kitchen sponge (would probably top the list.Yes,it turs out that the very tool we use to clean our plates,which is warm.damp,and full of nutritious food pieces,is packed of tiny iife. Lingchong You,a biologist at Duke University,along with his team,uscd computers to model the complex environment of a sponge for a 2022 study.He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growtl.This holds significance as certain bacteria tend to grow independently while others demand the companionship of others.Within a sponge filled with holes and pockets,there exist such an abundance of diverse structures that everyone attains a state of satisfaction. Nevertheless,it does not necessarily follow that these tools present a health risk to us as well. 平冈中学2024-2025学年第二学期期中考试英语试题第4页（共8页） Bacteria exist everywhere and not all are harmful;in fact,many perform vital jobs.The important question is,therefore,are the bacieria found in sponges even worth worrying about? In 2017,Jennifer Quinlan,a professor of food safety,and her colleagues,collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes,finding that only 1-2%of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. "The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illnees,and they're just going to make them smell."says Quinlan."Having said that,there is a possibility that if you use a sponge to wipe up raw meat that you could have some of those disease-causing bacteria on there,and studies have found that those bacteria can be separated from kitchen sponges." This is not the whole story yet.If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene,the sponge's special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply.And there's evidence this is the case. 38.What can we leam from the first paragraph? A.Sponges are perfect tools in the kitchen. B.Bacteria prefer to live in dry environment. C.Kitchen sponges are good home for bacteria. D.Bacteria affect kitchen sponges'performance. 9.What did Lingchong You find in his study? A.How sponges are exactly structured. B.What encourages bacterial growth. C.How bacteria react to the environment. D.Why bacteria keep company with each other. 40.What does Quinlan think of bacteria on sponges? A.Relatively harmless. B.Poorly adaptive, C.Surprisingly unpleasant. D.Widely distributed. 41.What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph? A.Proofs of bacterial threat. B.The classification of bacteria C.Methods to control bacterial growth. D.Research into applications of bacteria. D Imagine an artificial intelligence model that can watch and understand moving images like you and me.Now,scientists have made this a reality by creating MovieNet:an innovative AI that processes videos much like how our brains interpret real-life scenes. This brain-inspired AI model can perceive moving scenes by simulating how neurons )make real-time sense of the world.While conventional AI excels at still image recognition, MovieNet is doeigned to understand complex,dynamic scenes,allowing it to recognize small changes over time. To create MovieNet,Hollis Cline,senior author of the study,examined how animals'brains process real-world scenes.Specif近caly,he studied how tadpoles'(蝌蚪的)neurons respond to moving stimuli.Tadpoles'neurons process these visual inputs like solving puzzle pieces:each piece alone may not make sense,but together they form a complete image in motion.Different neurons process various "puzzle pieces"of a real-life moving image,which the brain then combines to form a continuous scene. Using this understanding,the researchers trained MovieNet to process video clips by 平冈中学20242025学年第二学期期中考试英语试题第5而1共g面1 identifying small visual signals,allowing it to distinguish between small changes in scenes.In testing,MovieNet achieved 82.3%accuracy,outperforming trained human observers by 18%and doing much better than existing AI models. Beyond its higher accuracy,MovieNet is more environment-friendly Conventional AI requires vast amounts of data and energy,but MovieNet compresses (data like a zipped file, reducing environmental impact."We've also made AI far less demanding,"says Cline.MovieNet could also transform medicine.It might help detect early signs of diseases by tracking small movement changes that are difficult for human eyes to detect. Looking ahead,the team plans to improve MovieNet's ability to adapt to different environments and enhance its potential applications."By designing models that think like living organisms(有机体)，we can achieve efficiency levels that aren't possible with traditional AI,”gays Cline,"Biology is a gold mine." 42.What does the underlined word"simulating"mean in paragraph 2? A.Copying. B.Inspiring. C.Demonstrating. D.Recognizing. 43.MovieNet is trained A.to combine dynamic images B.to increase visual inputs C.to feed on information pieces D.to look into tadpoles'neurons 44.According to paragraph 5,what is an advantage of MovieNet? A.Its powerful data storage. B.Its low energy consumption. C.Its control of medical diseases. D.Its improvement on drug effects. 45.What can be concluded from Cline's words in the last paragraph? A.Biology brings us financial profits. B.Living organisms can outperform Al. C.AI can assist in biological development. D.Drawing inspiration from biology is promising 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填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 How to Avoid Internet Addiction Internet addiction is a common problem that can be just as damaging as any other form of addiction.Maybe you are concemed that you are too dependent on the Internet and feel very upset. 46 Reach out to friends and family to build more in-person connections.If you desire social interaction,call up a friend and make plans to do something fun.47 If you don't have friends or family who you can turn to,look inte.a special mterest group you can join.Attend in-person moetings to connect with other people who share your interests and make new friends. 48.Exercising,reading a book,writing,studying and doing crossword puzzles are all better altematives to mindlessly surfing the Intemet.If you want to cut back on how often you are using the interet but aren't sure what to do with the extra time,identify a few activities that 平冈中学20242025学年第二学期期中考试英语试题第6页（共8页） you enjoy and pick one to do instead when you're feeling the urge to go online.
