【原文】Good morning, my dear fellow doctors, welcome to the TCM Promotion Conference today. Our schedule today includes 3 lectures and 4 academic seminars. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) refers to the study of human body, disease diagnosis and the prevention and control of diseases. For thousands of years, Chinese people have accumulated rich experience in fighting against diseases, thus forming their own unique medical theory. It has its own basic principles of diagnosis and treatment, which build the foundation of a systematical theory. TCM is often interpreted to be the medical science developed by the Han Chinese. There are many other branches of medicine in China, such as Tibetan medicine and Miao medicine, which can be called ethnic medicine. Currently, many Asian countries, such as Thailand and Vietnam, are also practising TCM. What WHO has proved is that it can help ease post-surgery pains, discomfort caused by pregnancy and toothache. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of Zhenjiu and herbs is also well proved by scientific evidence. On May 26, 2002, WHO issued a document that called on 180 countries to adopt TCM as an alternative in their medical policies. Now, let’s welcome the first lecturer today.

Ghanaian photojournalist Paul Ninson arrived in New York five years ago with a passion for visual storytelling. To his surprise the city’s libraries and museums held more photographs documenting Africa’s past and present than he had ever seen in Ghana. “How could our history be better kept here than at home?” he wondered. This realization became the start of his life’s work: to build a library in Ghana where Africans could reclaim their stories through photography.
Growing up, Ninson loved family stories told by his grandparents, but photography was seen as an unwise career choice in Ghana. However, he sold his iPhone to buy a camera and taught himself the skill. His early projects, like recording a Kenyan community started by women escaping violence, strengthened his belief that Africans must own their visual history.
In 2019, Ninson joined a photography school in New York. There, he eagerly read hundreds of photobooks — a clear difference from Ghana, where such books were rare. When museums refused to share their records, Ninson promised to build his own library. He searched secondhand stores, asked publishers for help, and filled storage units with over 30,000 books, even using up all his credit card limits. His friend Brandon Stanton’s $1.2 million online fundraiser made the dream possible. With the funds, Ninson shipped the books to Ghana and established the library.
On a December morning in 2022, the Dikan Center — “take the lead” in Ghana’s Akan language — opened in Accra, near the Gulf of Guinea’s historic coast. The library’s two collections celebrate African views: one focuses on Africa and Africans living abroad, the other displays works by photographers worldwide. Among its treasures is Ninson’s first New York purchase: The Gold Coast Yesterday and Today, a 1940s photobook documenting Ghana’s history before it gained independence in 1957. “It reminds us where we’ve been and where we’re going,” he says.
24. What inspired Ninson to create African’s own visual history?
A. Finding photobooks in secondhand stores.
B. Studying at a New York photography school.
C. Developing his family storytelling traditions.
D. Finding more African records overseas than locally.
25. Why is The Gold Coast Yesterday and Today important?
A. It contains stories from his grandparents.
B. It was donated by a photography school.
C. It shows Ghana’s history under foreign rule.
D. It was Ninson’s first photobook purchase in New York.
26. What best describes Paul Ninson’s character as highlighted in the text?
A. Ambitious and humorous.
B. Creative and sympathetic.
C. Conventional and home-centered.
D. Committed and forward-thinking.
27. What does Ninson’s story mainly inspire us to do?
A. Value teamwork in cultural projects.
B. Use technology to document history.
C. Pursue cultural goals through determined action.
D. Rely on external institutions for heritage protection.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了加纳摄影记者保罗·尼森为了重拾非洲的视觉历史,在纽约收集了大量摄影书籍,并最终在加纳建立了迪坎中心图书馆的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段后三句“To his surprise, the city’s libraries and museums held more photographs documenting Africa’s past and present than he had ever seen in Ghana. “How could our history be better kept here than at home?” he wondered. This realization became the start of his life’s work: to build a library in Ghana where Africans could reclaim their stories through photography. (令他惊讶的是,这座城市的图书馆和博物馆收藏了比他在加纳见过的更多的记录非洲过去和现在的照片。“为什么我们的历史在这里比在家里保存得更好?”他想知道。这一认识成为了他毕生工作的起点:在加纳建立一个图书馆,让非洲人可以通过摄影重拾他们的故事。)”可知,是尼森发现海外比本地有更多的非洲记录,这激发了他创造非洲人自己的视觉历史的灵感。故选D项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段后两句“Among its treasures is Ninson’s first New York purchase: The Gold Coast Yesterday and Today, a 1940s photobook documenting Ghana’s history before it gained independence in 1957. “It reminds us where we’ve been and where we’re going,” he says. (在它的珍宝中,有尼森在纽约的第一件藏品:《黄金海岸的昨天和今天》,这是一本20世纪40年代的摄影集,记录了加纳在1957年独立之前的历史。“它提醒我们,我们来自哪里,要去哪里,”他说。)”可知,《黄金海岸的昨天和今天》重要是因为它展示了加纳在外国统治下的历史。故选C项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段后四句“When museums refused to share their records, Ninson promised to build his own library. He searched secondhand stores, asked publishers for help, and filled storage units with over 30,000 books, even using up all his credit card limits. His friend Brandon Stanton’s $1.2 million online fundraiser made the dream possible. With the funds, Ninson shipped the books to Ghana and established the library. (当博物馆拒绝分享他们的记录时,尼森承诺要建立自己的图书馆。他搜遍了二手商店,向出版商寻求帮助,并在仓库里塞满了3万多本书,甚至用完了所有的信用卡额度。他的朋友布兰登·斯坦顿在网上筹集了120万美元,使这个梦想成为可能。有了这笔资金,尼森把这些书运到了加纳,并建立了图书馆。)”可知,尼森承诺建立自己的图书馆,并且努力实现,说明他是一个有决心的人;根据最后一段前两句“On a December morning in 2022, the Dikan Center — “take the lead” in Ghana’s Akan language — opened in Accra, near the Gulf of Guinea’s historic coast. The library’s two collections celebrate African views: one focuses on Africa and Africans living abroad, the other displays works by photographers worldwide. (2022年12月的一个早晨,迪坎中心——在加纳的阿肯语中意为“领先”——在几内亚湾历史悠久的海岸附近的阿克拉开业。图书馆的两个馆藏展示了非洲的观点:一个关注非洲和生活在国外的非洲人,另一个展示世界各地摄影师的作品。)”可知,尼森不仅关注非洲,还关注生活在国外的非洲人,并展示世界各地摄影师的作品,说明他是一个有远见的人。由此可推知,保罗·尼森的性格可以用“有决心和有远见”来形容。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章讲述了加纳摄影记者保罗·尼森从意识到非洲的历史在国外保存得更好,到决定建立图书馆让非洲人通过摄影找回他们的故事,并且通过自己的努力,包括学习、寻找书籍、筹集资金等行动来实现这个目标。因此,他的故事主要激励我们通过坚定的行动来追求文化目标。故选C项。
C
At a crop breeding (培育) center in Shanghai, researchers have successfully harvested rice that was grown from seeds initially bred on China’s space station, Tiangong. The rice plants have completed a full growth cycle on Earth, maturing after more than 100 days since planting.
This space-to-ground experiment began with 6 rice seeds sent into orbit in 2022 on the Wentian spacecraft. Taikonauts onboard Tiangong bred these seeds into 59, which they returned to Earth. Researchers then selected high-quality seeds, growing them under controlled climate conditions and producing around 10,000 new seeds.
Zheng Huiqiong, a lead researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Center, shared that the team’s findings suggest space-bred seeds can reproduce effectively on Earth, suggesting potential for future space agriculture. Zheng highlighted that the space-bred rice possesses unique traits, such as a higher sugar content, with sugar levels estimated to be five to six times higher than standard rice. The space-bred rice also showed a slight increase in protein content. “That means space-bred rice tastes sweeter and has more energy,” she added.
Space breeding, the method used in this experiment, exposes seeds to space radiation and microgravity, generating gene mutations (基因突变). These mutations are carefully assessed upon the seeds’ return to Earth, sometimes resulting in advantageous traits like shorter growth times, improved disease resistance, and higher output. Zhao Hui, an expert in China Academy of Space Technology, emphasized the safety of space-bred food, explaining that unlike genetically modified crops, space-bred seeds naturally mutate without introducing foreign genes. However, the space-bred rice has fewer leaves, which complicates close planting. Researchers are planning further studies to understand these leaf traits and explore possible genetic changes.
The Tiangong rice experiment marked a milestone for crop science, as it was the first time that rice had completed a full life cycle — from seed germination (发芽) to reproduction — in orbit.
28. What can we know about the space-to-ground experiment?
A. Seeds grown in orbit promise higher crop quality.
B. Seeds bred in space were further grown successfully on Earth.
C. New species of seeds grown in space have achieved great success.
D. Climate conditions were controlled when seeds were sent into orbit.
29. What does the underlined words “traits” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Materials. B. Arrangements. C. Disadvantages. D. Characteristics.
30. What does Zhao Hui stress about the space-bred rice?
A. Its security. B. Its artificial process.
C. Its nutrition. D. Its major shortcoming.
31. Which of the following is the best title?
A. Organic Farming: High-quality Planting in Space
B. Space Exploration: A Journey to the Space and Beyond
C. New Planting Approach: Replacing the Traditional Farming
D. Space-to-ground Cycle: Promising Future Space Agriculture
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. D
【解析】

We all know that significant changes occur in our bodies during adolescence, but have you ever stopped to wonder what’s going on inside our brains during this time?
To paint a clearer picture, we should first familiarize ourselves with the different parts of the brain. Our brain is composed of around 100 billion neurons, which are nerve cells with branch-like structures for sending and receiving electrical signals. Every time we do or think anything, a signal is sent out. It travels down a lengthy structure called the axon and, at the end, passes across tiny gaps called synapses to another neuron, which receives the signal. In this way, messages are sent across our neural network.
Our brain structure changes dramatically as we grow up. Newborn babies have almost all their neurons but few connections between them, which is why they can’t do very much. After a few months, however, the number of connections explodes, which in turn helps babies master a wide range of new skills such as walking and talking. Despite earlier myths that most brain development is completed in the first few years, we now know that our brains continue to develop throughout our lives and perhaps the most dramatic time of change and development is during adolescence.
During this period of reorganization, the brain witnesses a sudden increase in neurons similar to a plant growing uncontrollably in spring. Just as we trim (修剪) a plant to make it stronger and healthier, we trim our brains. The connections that are used become stronger, whereas those that aren’t used wither (凋谢) and die. So, the more frequently an action or a thought is activated, the stronger the connections become between the neurons, which in turn strengthens the part of the brain being used. This explains why the more you do something, the better you become at it, reinforcing the old proverb “_________”.
It seems that the teenage brain provides the best conditions for perfecting skills such as playing a musical instrument, or learning to speak another language. It could therefore be argued that teenagers determine the development of their own brains through the activities and experiences they engage in.
32. What is the main function of neurons in the brain?
A. Store messages. B. Transmit signals.
C. Picture neural structures. D. Control thinking models.
33. Why does the author compare the brain’s development to a plant growing?
A. To show the brain grows fast in spring. B. To explain the rapid increase in neurons.
C. To emphasize the importance of nutrition. D. To highlight the necessity for maintenance.
34. Which proverb best fits the blank in Paragraph 4?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Learning is the eye of the mind.
C. Power is from knowledge. D. Actions speak louder than words.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Lifelong Development of the Brain B. Neurons: Crossroads of Signal Exchange
C. The Adolescent Brain: A Time of Change D. How Learning Helps Shape Our Thoughts
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了青春期大脑的变化、神经元的作用及大脑发育的特点。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Our brain is composed of around 100 billion neurons, which are nerve cells with branch-like structures for sending and receiving electrical signals. (我们的大脑由大约1000亿个神经元组成,这些神经元是具有分支结构的神经细胞,用于发送和接收电信号。)”可知,神经元的主要功能是传递信号。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“During this period of reorganization, the brain witnesses a sudden increase in neurons similar to a plant growing uncontrollably in spring. Just as we trim (修剪) a plant to make it stronger and healthier, we trim our brains. The connections that are used become stronger, whereas those that aren’t used wither (凋谢) and die.(在这个重组时期,大脑中神经元数量突然增加,就像春天里植物不受控制地生长一样。就像我们修剪植物使其更强壮、更健康一样,我们也会修剪我们的大脑。被使用的连接会变得更强,而那些不被使用的连接会枯萎并消失。)”可知,作者把大脑的发展比作植物的生长是为了强调维护的必要性。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“So, the more frequently an action or a thought is activated, the stronger the connections become between the neurons, which in turn strengthens the part of the brain being used. This explains why the more you do something, the better you become at it(因此,一个动作或想法被激活的频率越高,神经元之间的连接就变得越强,这反过来又增强了大脑中被使用的部分。这就解释了为什么你做得越多,你就越擅长它)”可知,此处强调练习的重要性,“熟能生巧”这句谚语符合语境。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“We all know that significant changes occur in our bodies during adolescence, but have you ever stopped to wonder what’s going on inside our brains during this time? (我们都知道青春期身体会发生重大变化,但你有没有想过在这段时间里我们的大脑内部发生了什么?)”可知,文章主要介绍了青春期大脑的变化。因此,C项“The Adolescent Brain: A Time of Change (青春期大脑:一个变化的时期)”适合作本文标题。故选C。

___36___. They seem to be shining randomly at first. When they gather in a group, these individual patterns start to synchronize (同步). It’s like they are having a silent conversation, adjusting their flashes to match those around them. Once this synchronization is achieved, the result is a beautiful and coordinated display of light. ___37___, which has inspired people to think about teamwork and creativity.
Douglas, in her book The Firefly Effect, finds similarities between this natural phenomenon and human teams. She suggests that just like fireflies, team members each bring their own unique talents and ideas to the group. ___38___. These individual contributions can synchronize to create something much greater than the sum of their parts. The key is to encourage each team member to shine, just like a firefly, and to be open to the ideas and flashes of insight from others.
For example, in a school project team, one student is great at research, another at writing, and a third at presenting. If they each work in isolation, the project might be good, but not great. However, if they share their findings, collaborate on the writing, and practice the presentation together, their individual strengths can combine to create an outstanding project. ___39___.
So, when you see fireflies lighting up the night, remember that they are not just insects flashing randomly. They are a symbol of how individual efforts can come together to create something truly magical. ___40___, whether in school, sports, or the workplace. By embracing the firefly effect, we can build teams that are not only creative but also highly effective.
A. This is known as the “firefly effect”
B. Their flashes can be seen from miles away
C. It is a lesson that can be applied to any team
D. This is the power of the firefly effect in action
E. They work together and communicate effectively
F. Fireflies use their flashes to communicate in nature
G. They rarely appear in groups and prefer to stay alone
【答案】36. F 37. A 38. E 39. D 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章通过描述萤火虫在夜晚同步闪烁的自然现象,引出了“萤火虫效应”这一概念,并进而阐述了这一效应在团队合作和创造力方面的启示。
【36题详解】
设空位于段首,所以应是本段的中心句,根据后文“They seem to be shining randomly at first. When they gather in a group, these individual patterns start to synchronize (同步). It’s like they are having a silent conversation, adjusting their flashes to match those around them.(它们起初似乎是随机发光的。当它们聚集在一起时,这些单独的模式开始同步。就像他们在进行无声的对话,调整自己的闪光来适应周围的人)”可知,本段讲述用闪光进行了交流,所以F项“Fireflies use their flashes to communicate in nature(萤火虫用它们的闪光在自然界中进行交流)”符合本段主题,为中心句。故选F项。
【37题详解】
根据前文“Once this synchronization is achieved, the result is a beautiful and coordinated display of light.(一旦实现了这种同步,结果就是一个美丽而协调的光显示)”以及后文“which has inspired people to think about teamwork and creativity(它激发了人们对团队合作和创造力的思考)”可知,空处应是对前文的现象做出总结,并引出下文内容,所以A项“This is known as the “firefly effect”(这就是所谓的“萤火虫效应”)”是对上文的总结,并引出下文。故选A项。
【38题详解】
根据前文“Douglas, in her book The Firefly Effect, finds similarities between this natural phenomenon and human teams. She suggests that just like fireflies, team members each bring their own unique talents and ideas to the group.(道格拉斯在她的书《萤火虫效应》中发现了这种自然现象和人类团队之间的相似之处。她建议,就像萤火虫一样,团队成员每个人都为团队带来自己独特的才能和想法)”以及后文“These individual contributions can synchronize to create something much greater than the sum of their parts.(这些个人的贡献可以同步创造出比各部分总和大得多的东西)”可知,E项“They work together and communicate effectively(他们一起工作,有效地沟通)”承接上文,继续讲述团队成员如何像萤火虫一样,并引出后文。故选E项。
【39题详解】
设空位于段尾,应是对前文的总结,根据前文“For example, in a school project team, one student is great at research, another at writing, and a third at presenting. If they each work in isolation, the project might be good, but not great. However, if they share their findings, collaborate on the writing, and practice the presentation together, their individual strengths can combine to create an outstanding project.(例如,在一个学校项目团队中,一个学生擅长研究,另一个擅长写作,第三个擅长演讲。如果他们各自独立工作,项目可能是好的,但不是伟大的。然而,如果他们分享他们的发现,合作写作,一起练习演示,他们的个人优势可以结合起来创造一个出色的项目)”可知,D项“This is the power of the firefly effect in action(这就是萤火虫效应的作用)”是对前文的总结,符合文意。故选D项。
【40题详解】
根据前文“So, when you see fireflies lighting up the night, remember that they are not just insects flashing randomly. They are a symbol of how individual efforts can come together to create something truly magical.(所以,当你看到萤火虫照亮夜空时,请记住它们并不是随机闪烁的昆虫。它们象征着个人的努力可以汇聚在一起,创造出真正神奇的东西)”可知,本段在进行总结,所以C项“It is a lesson that can be applied to any team(这是一个适用于任何团队的经验)”承接上文,继续对萤火虫效应进行总结,并引出下文“whether in school, sports, or the workplace.(无论是在学校、体育运动还是工作场所)”符合文意。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了梁德颂家族对苗画艺术的传承与创新。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:苗画,一种国家级非物质文化遗产,起源于清末的苗绣图案,多亏了湖南省湘西县的梁德颂家族,它已经演变成一种独特的艺术形式。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是Miao painting,指物,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,应用which引导。故填which。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:梁德颂的父亲是一位备受尊敬的当地苗画家,他开创了将苗绣图案直接应用到衣服上代替刺绣的先河,标志着从刺绣到独立绘画的重大转变。本句已有谓语动词pioneered,mark“标志着”应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语逗号前句子的内容构成主动关系,故用现在分词作状语。故填marking。
【58题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:年轻时,梁被迫离开家去从事各种工作谋生。本句描述过去发生的事情,时态应用一般过去时,主语Liang与force“强迫”构成被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语Liang为第三人称单数,be动词用was。故填was forced。
【59题详解】
考查副词。句意:但他从未完全放弃艺术。本空修饰动词短语gave up,应用副词entirely“完全地”,作状语。故填entirely。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意:2002年以后,随着政府关注非物质文化遗产,他回到家乡,致力于使苗画更适应现代需求。adaptable to是固定短语,意为“适应……”,其中to为介词。故填to。
【61题详解】
考查名词。句意:他的作品得到了学者和专家的认可,吸引了越来越多的收藏家。空处作received的宾语,应用名词acceptance。故填acceptance。
【62题详解】
考查时态。句意:在过去的几年里,他的作品的订单纷至沓来。根据over the past years可知,fly“飞”这一动作开始于过去,持续到现在,句子时态应用现在完成时,又因主语Orders 是复数,所以助动词用have。故填have flown。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:梁金翠,梁的女儿,追随父亲的脚步,运用当代技术来满足年轻人的口味。本句谓语为employs,此处为非谓语动词,作目的状语,应用satisfy“满足”的不定式。故填to satisfy。
【64题详解】
考查时态。句意:她创作了以苗元素为特色的相关文化产品,与茶品牌合作设计特别包装,并为那些渴望学习这门艺术的人提供苗画工作坊。本句主语为She,本空与creates和offers并列,作谓语,partner“合作”用第三人称单数。故填partners。
【65题详解】
考查强调句。句意:正是她的创造精神和无私分享,为这门古老的艺术形式注入了新的活力。此处为强调句“It is/was+被强调部分+that+其它部分”,被强调部分为主语her creative spirit and selfless sharing,故填that。

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。
I hurried into Lehman’s grocery store. I was there to buy my grandmother’s hearing aid batteries. More importantly, this was my chance to visit the love of my life — Artie.
I ran to the shelf he was on, and there he was, right where I last saw him: a grey little guy with a large mouth that fit perfectly over my shoulder as I hugged him tightly. I adored that stuffed dolphin. As I held Artie, Mrs. Lehman, who had always been kind to me, passed by and smiled knowingly, “Hugging that dolphin again, huh?”
But my brother, Rick, noticed I took a long time in Lehman’s, saying, “You are a thirteen-year-old girl now. You are supposed to be quicker. Next time, I will go with you.” Oh, great! My brother, Rick. He always laughed at me.
But I wouldn’t give up. So, as we walked into the store, I suggested to Rick that he get the batteries, since he was older. Then I headed towards Artie. There he was, awaiting me. I grabbed him and hugged him tightly. Just then, I heard Rick saying, “What in the world are you doing?”
“This is Artie,” I said. “I hug him every single time I come here. I can’t afford it so I hope he doesn’t get sold because I just love this little guy.” The look on Rick’s face was unreadable, but I knew deep down that he wasn’t going to make fun of me. In fact, a few times when he accompanied me to Lehman’s, he said, “go on and hug your dolphin, if it’s still there.”
One day, Rick was not home, so I went to Lehman’s alone. I went straight to Artie’s shelf. But he was gone. I searched every shelf but couldn’t find him. Suddenly, a voice from the counter interrupted my search.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
It was Mrs. Lehman herself.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To my surprise, I found a box lying on my bed.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】It was Mrs. Lehman herself. She leaned over the counter, her eyes crinkling with warmth. “Looking for your little friend, dear? A young man bought him yesterday. Said something about ‘saving him from shelf limbo’.” My heart sank. Before I could ask more, she added, “He left this note for you.” Hand trembling, I unfolded the paper: “Check your bed at noon. — R.” Glancing at the clock — 11:55 a.m. — I bolted home, confusion and hope tangled in my chest.
To my surprise, I found a box lying on my bed. A familiar floppy fin peeked through the ribbon. Tears blurred my vision as I cradled Artie, his soft fur pressing against my cheek. Beneath him lay another note: “Even pirates need first mates. Don’t drown him in your tears. — Captain Rick.” Laughter bubbled through my sniffles. From the doorway, Rick grumbled, “You’re gonna wear his stitching out,” but his ears flushed pink. That night, Artie guarded my pillow, while Rick’s snores echoed from the next room — a gruff lullaby of unexpected love.
【解析】
【导语】本文以情感为线索展开。讲述了作者对一个心爱的玩偶Artie的深厚感情,以及在家庭和生活中经历的一系列温暖的故事。故事通过作者与Artie的互动,展现了家庭成员之间复杂而真挚的情感,以及爱与支持的力量。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“是Lehman太太本人。”可知,第一段可描写Mrs. Lehman告知作者Artie被买走的消息,以及作者内心的失落和意外发现的希望。
②由第二段首句内容“令我吃惊的是,我发现一个盒子躺在我的床上。”可知,第二段可描写作者回到家发现Artie被送来的惊喜,以及与哥哥Rick的对话。
2. 续写线索:失落——希望——惊喜——高兴——感受到爱
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①买:bought/purchase
②颤抖:tremble/shake
③保护:guard/shield

Ghanaian photojournalist Paul Ninson arrived in New York five years ago with a passion for visual storytelling. To his surprise, the city’s libraries and museums held more photographs documenting Africa’s past and present than he had ever seen in Ghana. “How could our history be better kept here than at home?” he wondered. This realization became the start of his life’s work: to build a library in Ghana where Africans could reclaim their stories through photography.
Growing up, Ninson loved family stories told by his grandparents, but photography was seen as an unwise career choice in Ghana. However, he sold his iPhone to buy a camera and taught himself the skill. His early projects, like recording a Kenyan community started by women escaping violence, strengthened his belief that Africans must own their visual history.
In 2019, Ninson joined a photography school in New York. There, he eagerly read hundreds of photobooks — a clear difference from Ghana, where such books were rare. When museums refused to share their records, Ninson promised to build his own library. He searched secondhand stores, asked publishers for help, and filled storage units with over 30,000 books, even using up all his credit card limits. His friend Brandon Stanton’s $1.2 million online fundraiser made the dream possible. With the funds, Ninson shipped the books to Ghana and established the library.
On a December morning in 2022, the Dikan Center — “take the lead” in Ghana’s Akan language — opened in Accra, near the Gulf of Guinea’s historic coast. The library’s two collections celebrate African views: one focuses on Africa and Africans living abroad, the other displays works by photographers worldwide. Among its treasures is Ninson’s first New York purchase: The Gold Coast Yesterday and Today, a 1940s photobook documenting Ghana’s history before it gained independence in 1957. “It reminds us where we’ve been and where we’re going,” he says.
24. What inspired Ninson to create African’s own visual history?
A. Finding photobooks in secondhand stores.
B. Studying at a New York photography school.
C. Developing his family storytelling traditions.
D. Finding more African records overseas than locally.
25. Why is The Gold Coast Yesterday and Today important?
A. It contains stories from his grandparents.
B. It was donated by a photography school.
C. It shows Ghana’s history under foreign rule.
D. It was Ninson’s first photobook purchase in New York.
26. What best describes Paul Ninson’s character as highlighted in the text?
A. Ambitious and humorous.
B. Creative and sympathetic.
C. Conventional and home-centered.
D. Committed and forward-thinking.
27. What does Ninson’s story mainly inspire us to do?
A. Value teamwork in cultural projects.
B. Use technology to document history.
C. Pursue cultural goals through determined action.
D. Rely on external institutions for heritage protection.

At a crop breeding (培育) center in Shanghai, researchers have successfully harvested rice that was grown from seeds initially bred on China’s space station, Tiangong. The rice plants have completed a full growth cycle on Earth, maturing after more than 100 days since planting.
This space-to-ground experiment began with 6 rice seeds sent into orbit in 2022 on the Wentian spacecraft. Taikonauts onboard Tiangong bred these seeds into 59 which they returned to Earth. Researchers then selected high-quality seeds, growing them under controlled climate conditions and producing around 10,000 new seeds.
Zheng Huiqiong, a lead researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Center, shared that the team’s findings suggest space-bred seeds can reproduce effectively on Earth, suggesting potential for future space agriculture. Zheng highlighted that the space-bred rice possesses unique traits, such as a higher sugar content, with sugar levels estimated to be five to six times higher than standard rice. The space-bred rice also showed a slight increase in protein content. “That means space-bred rice tastes sweeter and has more energy,” she added.
Space breeding, the method used in this experiment, exposes seeds to space radiation and microgravity, generating gene mutations (基因突变). These mutations are carefully assessed upon the seeds’ return to Earth, sometimes resulting in advantageous traits like shorter growth times, improved disease resistance, and higher output. Zhao Hui, an expert in China Academy of Space Technology, emphasized the safety of space-bred food, explaining that unlike genetically modified crops, space-bred seeds naturally mutate without introducing foreign genes. However, the space-bred rice has fewer leaves, which complicates close planting. Researchers are planning further studies to understand these leaf traits and explore possible genetic changes.
The Tiangong rice experiment marked a milestone for crop science, as it was the first time that rice had completed a full life cycle — from seed germination (发芽) to reproduction — in orbit.
28. What can we know about the space-to-ground experiment?
A. Seeds grown in orbit promise higher crop quality.
B. Seeds bred in space were further grown successfully on Earth.
C. New species of seeds grown in space have achieved great success.
D. Climate conditions were controlled when seeds were sent into orbit.
29. What does the underlined words “traits” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Materials. B. Arrangements. C. Disadvantages. D. Characteristics.
30. What does Zhao Hui stress about the space-bred rice?
A. Its security. B. Its artificial process.
C. Its nutrition. D. Its major shortcoming.
31. Which of the following is the best title?
A. Organic Farming: High-quality Planting in Space
B. Space Exploration: A Journey to the Space and Beyond
C. New Planting Approach: Replacing the Traditional Farming
D. Space-to-ground Cycle: Promising Future Space Agriculture
D
We all know that significant changes occur in our bodies during adolescence, but have you ever stopped to wonder what’s going on inside our brains during this time?
To paint a clearer picture, we should first familiarize ourselves with the different parts of the brain. Our brain is composed of around 100 billion neurons, which are nerve cells with branch-like structures for sending and receiving electrical signals. Every time we do or think anything, a signal is sent out. It travels down a lengthy structure called the axon and, at the end, passes across tiny gaps called synapses to another neuron, which receives the signal. In this way, messages are sent across our neural network.
Our brain structure changes dramatically as we grow up. Newborn babies have almost all their neurons but few connections between them, which is why they can’t do very much. After a few months, however, the number of connections explodes, which in turn helps babies master a wide range of new skills such as walking and talking. Despite earlier myths that most brain development is completed in the first few years, we now know that our brains continue to develop throughout our lives and perhaps the most dramatic time of change and development is during adolescence.
During this period of reorganization, the brain witnesses a sudden increase in neurons similar to a plant growing uncontrollably in spring. Just as we trim (修剪) a plant to make it stronger and healthier, we trim our brains. The connections that are used become stronger, whereas those that aren’t used wither (凋谢) and die. So, the more frequently an action or a thought is activated, the stronger the connections become between the neurons, which in turn strengthens the part of the brain being used. This explains why the more you do something, the better you become at it, reinforcing the old proverb “_________”.
It seems that the teenage brain provides the best conditions for perfecting skills such as playing a musical instrument, or learning to speak another language. It could therefore be argued that teenagers determine the development of their own brains through the activities and experiences they engage in.
32. What is the main function of neurons in the brain?
A. Store messages. B. Transmit signals.
C. Picture neural structures. D. Control thinking models.
33. Why does the author compare the brain’s development to a plant growing?
A. To show the brain grows fast in spring. B. To explain the rapid increase in neurons.
C. To emphasize the importance of nutrition. D. To highlight the necessity for maintenance.
34 Which proverb best fits the blank in Paragraph 4?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Learning is the eye of the mind.
C. Power is from knowledge. D. Actions speak louder than words.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Lifelong Development of the Brain B. Neurons: Crossroads of Signal Exchange
C. The Adolescent Brain: A Time of Change D. How Learning Helps Shape Our Thoughts

Have you ever watched a group of fireflies (萤火虫) lighting up the night sky? At first glance, their lights may appear chaotic, but if you watch closely, you’ll find something remarkable begins to unfold.
___36___. They seem to be shining randomly at first. When they gather in a group, these individual patterns start to synchronize (同步). It’s like they are having a silent conversation, adjusting their flashes to match those around them. Once this synchronization is achieved, the result is a beautiful and coordinated display of light. ___37___, which has inspired people to think about teamwork and creativity.
Douglas, in her book The Firefly Effect, finds similarities between this natural phenomenon and human teams. She suggests that just like fireflies, team members each bring their own unique talents and ideas to the group. ___38___. These individual contributions can synchronize to create something much greater than the sum of their parts. The key is to encourage each team member to shine, just like a firefly, and to be open to the ideas and flashes of insight from others.
For example, in a school project team, one student is great at research, another at writing, and a third at presenting. If they each work in isolation, the project might be good, but not great. However, if they share their findings, collaborate on the writing, and practice the presentation together, their individual strengths can combine to create an outstanding project. ___39___.
So, when you see fireflies lighting up the night, remember that they are not just insects flashing randomly. They are a symbol of how individual efforts can come together to create something truly magical. ___40___, whether in school, sports, or the workplace. By embracing the firefly effect, we can build teams that are not only creative but also highly effective.
A. This is known as the “firefly effect”
B. Their flashes can be seen from miles away
C. It is a lesson that can be applied to any team
D. This is the power of the firefly effect in action
E. They work together and communicate effectively
F. Fireflies use their flashes to communicate in nature
G. They rarely appear in groups and prefer to stay alone

Having been trained for six months, I finally worked as a volunteer “baby cuddler” (婴儿抱抱员) in a key hospital. All I do is hold a baby in my arms or rock it in a rocking chair, offering ___41___ . Initially, I hesitated to ___42___ for it, haunted by memories of my late husband’s numerous hospital stays, heartbroken and even ___43___ . Yet, with my children growing into adults, I decided to ___44___ .
When my first ___45___ came, I met with a tiny and pale baby. The nurse ___46___ him in my arms and I held him ___47___ close to my chest, whispering, “I’m here. You’re not alone.” I ___48___ my position to better balance his weight. For hours I rocked him, my arms growing ___49___ but never let go. His cries _____50_____ , and his breath slowed. Over the weeks, his condition improved — _____51_____ turned rosy, and calmer than ever.
Ordinary days quietly _____52_____ . Sometimes a young man dropped in, with a violin over his shoulder, playing music the nurse designed for a baby. The _____53_____ calmed the baby and me. Later, the baby was _____54_____ by a foster family. Though not knowing if my cuddles cured, I gained faith in the power of small acts of _____55_____, just like a warm word, a soft touch or a little whisper.

I hurried into Lehman’s grocery store. I was there to buy my grandmother’s hearing aid batteries. More importantly, this was my chance to visit the love of my life — Artie.
I ran to the shelf he was on, and there he was, right where I last saw him: a grey little guy with a large mouth that fit perfectly over my shoulder as I hugged him tightly. I adored that stuffed dolphin. As I held Artie, Mrs. Lehman, who had always been kind to me, passed by and smiled knowingly, “Hugging that dolphin again, huh?”
But my brother, Rick, noticed I took a long time in Lehman’s, saying, “You are a thirteen-year-old girl now. You are supposed to be quicker. Next time, I will go with you.” Oh, great! My brother, Rick. He always laughed at me.
But I wouldn’t give up. So, as we walked into the store, I suggested to Rick that he get the batteries, since he was older. Then I headed towards Artie. There he was, awaiting me. I grabbed him and hugged him tightly. Just then, I heard Rick saying, “What in the world are you doing?”
“This is Artie,” I said. “I hug him every single time I come here. I can’t afford it so I hope he doesn’t get sold because I just love this little guy.” The look on Rick’s face was unreadable, but I knew deep down that he wasn’t going to make fun of me. In fact, a few times when he accompanied me to Lehman’s, he said, “go on and hug your dolphin, if it’s still there.”
One day, Rick was not home, so I went to Lehman’s alone. I went straight to Artie’s shelf. But he was gone. I searched every shelf but couldn’t find him. Suddenly, a voice from the counter interrupted my search.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
It was Mrs. Lehman herself.
