It was in 1979 that something disturbing happened around his home. A flood had struck the area and washed some snakes up on the sandbar. As the water dried up, the sun burned the land. Without trees or shade, the snakes died. Seeing their dead bodies, Molai felt heartbroken. He realized that if trees grew there, animals could survive. Molai turned to the forest officials, only to be told that nothing would grow there. However, Molai went looking on his own and finally discovered a nearby island where he began to plant bamboo saplings. Watering them twice daily in the dry season was really a tough task for a lone boy. To save time, he built bamboo platforms over each sapling and placed clay pots with tiny holes above them. Rainwater slowly dripped down, keeping the plants alive. After years of care, the bamboo grew tall. Molai then planted trees. To improve the soil, he even brought red ants, which break down dead leaves but sting painfully. Despite the discomfort, he continued. It took Molai 30 years to turn the sandbar into a forest. He lived simply with his family, selling milk from their cattle to survive. Most of his work was unpaid, but he never gave up because he loved nature. Years later, elephants damaged the village. When officials searched for them, they discovered Molai’s thick, green forest on the once-barren (曾经荒芜的) sandbar. They were shocked. News spread, and people came to learn about his efforts. Molai’s story inspired others to protect nature. “Everyone must help save nature,” Molai said. Though he lived a simple life, he was proud to have awakened many people’s love for nature. 4. What motivated Molai to start his tree-planting project? A The desire for financial rewards. B. The shock from seeing dead snakes. C. The influence of forest officials. D. The request from his family. 5. What was the direct function of clay pots? A. Collecting the rainwater. B. Keeping the plants alive. C. Channeling the rainwater. D. Protecting bamboo saplings. 6. Why is the search for elephants mentioned in paragraph 6? A. To explain why Molai chose to plant trees in that area. B. To criticize the officials for not helping Molai earlier. C. To demonstrate how Molai’s efforts gained public attention. D. To prove that Molai’s forest was large enough to attract elephants. 7. Which of the following best describes Molai according to the passage? A. Modest and reserved. B. Grateful and content. C. Selfish and unconcerned. D Determined and persistent. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了印度青年Molai Payeng从小立志种树，经过30年的不懈努力，将一片荒芜的沙洲变成茂密森林的故事，展现了他对自然的热爱和坚定的决心。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A flood had struck the area and washed some snakes up on the sandbar. As the water dried up, the sun burned the land. Without trees or shade, the snakes died. Seeing their dead bodies, Molai felt heartbroken. He realized that if trees grew there, animals could survive. (一场洪水袭击了该地区，将一些蛇冲到了沙洲上。随着水干涸，太阳炙烤着土地。没有树木或树荫，蛇死了。看到它们的尸体，Molai感到心碎。他意识到如果那里有树，这些生物就能生存)”可知，Molai开始植树项目的动机是看到蛇因缺乏树荫而死亡的情景。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To save time, he built bamboo platforms over each sapling and placed clay pots with tiny holes above them. Rainwater slowly dripped down, keeping the plants alive. (为了节省时间，他在每棵幼苗上搭建了竹平台，并在上面放置了有小孔陶罐。雨水慢慢滴下，使植物存活)”可知，陶罐的直接功能是收集雨水，通过滴水保持植物存活。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Years later, elephants damaged the village. When officials searched for them, they discovered Molai’s thick, green forest on the once-barren (曾经荒芜的) sandbar. They were shocked. News spread, and people came to learn about his efforts. (多年后，大象破坏了村庄。当官员们寻找它们时，他们发现了Molai在曾经荒芜的沙洲上种植的茂密的绿色森林。他们感到震惊。消息传开，人们开始了解他的努力)”可知，提到寻找大象是为了展示Molai的努力如何引起公众关注。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是第三段“Watering them twice daily in the dry season was really a tough task for a lone boy. (在旱季每天浇水两次对仅仅是一个人做这项工作的男孩来说确实是一项艰巨的任务)”以及第四段“Despite the discomfort, he continued. (尽管不舒服，他还是继续)”和第五段“It took Molai 30 years to turn the sandbar into a forest. (Molai花了30年时间将沙洲变成森林)”可知，Molai是一个意志坚定且坚持不懈的人。故选D项。 C Since the start of the industrial revolution, there have been threats that new machines would take over human jobs. For the most part, humans have won. Now, with AI application on the horizon, the threat’s being realized: the robots really are coming for some jobs. A March 2023 report estimated that across the EU and US, 300 million jobs could be lost to automation (自动化). Thankfully, it’s not all bad news: there are still things AI isn’t capable of — tasks that involve clearly human qualities, like emotional intelligence and outside-the-box thinking. Martin Ford, author of Rule of the Robots: How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything, claims there will be three types of jobs surviving in the near future. The first is genuinely creative work, where people generate new ideas and build something novel rather than doing formulaic (公式化的，刻板的) or rearranging tasks. The second protected category comprises jobs needing complex interpersonal skills, like nurses and journalists, as AI lacks the ability to build relationships. The third safe zone consists of jobs requiring mobility, skills and problem-solving in unpredictable situations, which are hardest to automate. It’s important to notice that an advanced education or a high-paying position is not a defence against AI takeover. In many cases, more educated workers are going to be more threatened than then even the least educated workers. “Think of the person who cleans hotel rooms — it’s really hard to automate that job.” Ford said. In short, seeking roles in dynamic, shifting environments that include unpredictable tasks is a good way to avoid job loss to AI. At least, for a while. 8. What is the main concern caused by AI according to the passage? A. AI development is slower than experts initially predicted. B. Potential job loss due to AI automation is alarmingly huge. C. AI’s lack of creativity makes it unsuitable for most modern jobs. D. AI will lead to widespread unemployment without any solutions. 9. What does the underlined word in the paragraph 2 mean? A. Creative. B. Independent. C. Previous. D. Average. 10. According to Martin Ford, which job is LEAST likely to be replaced by AI soon? A. A data analyst processing large datasets. B. A white-collar employee dealing with paperwork. C. A factory worker putting products together exactly and repeatedly. D. A social worker building trust and providing support to poor families. 11. Which could be the best title for the passage? A. All Jobs at Risk from AI B. The Battle for Employment C. Human Qualities Defining Future Work D. Emotional Intelligence Winning AI 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了人工智能对就业的影响及未来不易被替代的工作类型。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Now, with AI application on the horizon, the threat’s being realized: the robots really are coming for some jobs. (现在，随着人工智能应用的临近，这种威胁正在成为现实：机器人真的会取代一些工作。)”以及第二段中“A March 2023 report estimated that across the EU and US, 300 million jobs could be lost to automation (自动化). (2023年3月的一份报告估计，在欧盟和美国，可能会有3亿个工作岗位因自动化而消失。)”可知，根据文章，人工智能引起的主要担忧是因人工智能自动化而导致的潜在失业规模惊人地巨大。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“there are still things AI isn’t capable of — tasks that involve clearly human qualities, like emotional intelligence and outside-the-box thinking. (人工智能仍然无法完成一些任务——这些任务涉及明显的人类特质，比如情商和outside-the-box思维。)”可知，此处描述的是AI无法完成的任务，这些任务需要人类特有的品质，如情商和“跳出常规的思维”，即独立、创新的思维。因此，划线词outside-the-box的意思是“独立的”。A. Creative有创造力的；B. Independent独立的；C. Previous先前的；D. Average平均的。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The second protected category comprises jobs needing complex interpersonal skills, like nurses and journalists, as AI lacks the ability to build relationships. (第二类受保护的工作包括需要复杂人际交往技能的工作，如护士和记者，因为人工智能缺乏建立关系的能力。)”以及D选项“A social worker building trust and providing support to poor families. (一名社会工作者为贫困家庭建立信任并提供支持。)”可知，根据Martin Ford的说法，社会工作者为贫困家庭建立信任并提供支持，这需要复杂的人际交往技能，因此最不可能很快被人工智能取代。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其是第三段中“Martin Ford, author of Rule of the Robots: How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything, claims there will be three types of jobs surviving in the near future. The first is genuinely creative work, where people generate new ideas and build something novel rather than doing formulaic (公式化的，刻板的) or rearranging tasks. The second protected category comprises jobs needing complex interpersonal skills, like nurses and journalists, as AI lacks the ability to build relationships. The third safe zone consists of jobs requiring mobility, skills and problem-solving in unpredictable situations, which are hardest to automate. (《机器人法则：人工智能将如何改变一切》一书的作者马丁·福特声称，在不久的将来，将有三种类型的工作得以幸存。第一种是真正的创造性工作，人们产生新的想法，创造新的东西，而不是做公式化的或重新安排的任务。第二类受保护的工作包括需要复杂人际交往技能的工作，如护士和记者，因为人工智能缺乏建立关系的能力。第三个安全区包括在不可预测的情况下需要移动性、技能和解决问题的能力的工作，这些工作最难实现自动化。)”可知，本文主要讨论了人工智能对未来工作的影响，并指出那些需要人类特有品质（如创造力、人际交往能力、在不可预测环境中解决问题的能力）的工作将更有可能在人工智能时代幸存下来。因此，C选项“Human Qualities Defining Future Work (人类特质决定未来工作)”最符合作为文章的标题。故选C。 D Chinese researchers have discovered that lotus roots, typically considered crispy and fragile, possess high-strength composite structures suitable for bone repair. Wu Jun, an associate professor at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), explains that through processing, the strength of lotus root materials is enhanced, allowing them to maintain long-lasting support. Lotus roots feature natural, continuous pores (细孔) that create an ideal environment for bone regeneration. The porous (透气的) structure promotes the growth of new blood vessels and nerves, facilitating oxygen and nutrient exchange at injury spots. Additionally, lotus root scaffolds show excellent biocompatibility (生物相容性) with minimal toxic side effects. Four years ago, Wu and his team began experimenting with lotus root-derived biomaterials for bone repair and skin wound dressings. In experiments, mice treated with lotus root materials showed accelerated bone injury recovery compared to controls. When inserted into broken bones, the biodegradable lotus root material keeps pace with the bone’s regeneration rate, degrading naturally as the bone heals. Currently, bone cement, a common polymer material, mainly aids in restoring bone structure but has limited bone regeneration capabilities. Lotus root biomaterials are expected to replace nonporous, biologically inactive bone cement, which often causes inflammation (炎症) and tissue proliferation (增生) over time. The production of lotus root biomaterials involves cleaning, freeze-drying, mineralization (矿化), and fine processing to maintain their natural structure. These materials can be tailored into three-dimensional scaffolds suited to individual bone injuries. Wu’s team plans to conduct large animal experiments on sheep to further confirm their findings. Beyond bone repair, they are exploring the use of lotus roots in wound dressings to promote faster healing, highlighting the material’s broad medical potential. 12. Lotus roots are considered suitable for bone repair because of _______. A. ease of processing B. crispiness and fragility C. common use in cooking D. high-strength composite structures 13. What result was found in the mouse-based experiments? A. Lotus root materials caused an inflammatory response in the mice. B. Lotus root materials promoted a faster healing process of bone injuries. C. Lotus root materials failed to make any difference in bone injury recovery. D. Lotus root materials broke down too rapidly to have any therapeutic value. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the potential of lotus root biomaterials? A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic. 15. The passage mainly focuses on ________. A. the drawback of common bone-repair methods B. the features and medical uses of lotus root biomaterials C. the comparison between lotus root and bone cements D. the difficulties in creating new bone-repair substances 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是中国研究发现莲藕生物材料可用于骨修复，有望替代传统骨水泥，潜力大。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Chinese researchers have discovered that lotus roots, typically considered crispy and fragile, possess high-strength composite structures suitable for bone repair.(中国研究人员发现，通常被认为质地脆嫩易碎的莲藕，拥有适用于骨修复的高强度复合结构)”可知，莲藕被认为适合骨修复，因为它们具有高强度复合结构。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In experiments, mice treated with lotus root materials showed accelerated bone injury recovery compared to controls.(在实验中，与对照组相比，用莲藕材料治疗的小鼠显示出加速的骨损伤恢复)”可知，在以老鼠为基础的实验中发现莲藕材料促进骨损伤更快愈合。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Lotus root biomaterials are expected to replace nonporous, biologically inactive bone cement, which often causes inflammation (炎症) and tissue proliferation (增生) over time.(莲藕生物材料有望取代无孔且生物惰性的骨水泥，后者长期使用往往会导致炎症和组织增生)”和最后一段“Beyond bone repair, they are exploring the use of lotus roots in wound dressings to promote faster healing, highlighting the material’s broad medical potential.(除了骨修复外，他们还在探索将莲藕用于伤口敷料以促进更快愈合的可能性，凸显了这种材料在医学领域的广阔前景)”可知，作者对莲藕生物材料的潜力持乐观态度，故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Chinese researchers have discovered that lotus roots, typically considered crispy and fragile, possess high-strength composite structures suitable for bone repair. Wu Jun, an associate professor at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), explains that through processing, the strength of lotus root materials is enhanced, allowing them to maintain long-lasting support.(中国研究人员发现，通常被认为质地脆嫩易碎的莲藕，拥有适用于骨修复的高强度复合结构。香港科技大学（广州）副教授吴军解释称，通过加工处理，莲藕材料的强度得以提升，能够提供持久支撑)”可知，本文主要讲述的是中国研究人员发现莲藕具有适合骨修复的高强度复合结构，并探讨了其在骨修复和伤口敷料领域的潜在应用。因此这篇文章主要讲的是莲藕生物材料的特点及医学用途。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Repetition is an essential part of the learning journey.

But Amadore still shied away each time she reached for him. “Your expression is the issue here,” came a voice from a stable (马厩) boy. Sarai sighed, and turned to see the unfamiliar boy while keeping Amadore in sight. “Who are you?” she asked. “I’m Cody and I know where your problem lies,” he smiled. Frowning at the newcomer, Sarai noted she’d never seen him before. “We just moved here,” Cody explained. “If you don’t know me or my horse,” Sarai asked, “how could you possibly know my problem?” “I just do,” Cody smiled again. Sarai rolled her eyes and turned away. “Leave me alone, I’ve got work.” Yet after another failure, she swallowed her pride and asked for help. Without hesitation, Cody showed his horse two photos: one of a smiling face, the other of an angry one. The horse stayed calm when shown the smiling face but shied away from the scowl (不悦的神色). “Horses read our expressions,” Cody explained. Encouraged, Sarai took a deep breath. Smiling with a relaxed face, she approached Amadore again. His ears switched (猛拉) forward. She gently lifted the halter and Amadore stepped right into it. “We did it,” she breathed a sigh of relief. As they led Amadore out effortlessly, they passed by a door about three meters away, and heard a commotion(骚动). It was another two struggling boys who were trying to brush down a buckskin horse (栗棕色马). But it was snorting (打着响鼻) and stepping away from them, the two boys frowning in frustration. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)开头已给出。 Sarai grinned. “I know what your problem is.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The buckskin horse’s nervousness faded almost unnoticed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1： Sarai grinned. “I know what your problem is!” Hardly had her voice faded away, Sarai slipped inside the stall, slowly and deliberately. Ignoring the kids’ puzzled looks, Sarai focused on the horse. “Easy, girl,” she murmured, smiling as she gently reached out for the brush in the nearest boy’s tense hand. “May I?” she asked softly. Her calm voice and relaxed posture was an obvious contrast to the boys’ earlier tension. Sarai took the brush and began to make slow, rhythmic strokes on the horse’s shoulder, humming softly. Paragraph 2： The buckskin horse’s nervousness faded almost unnoticed. Watching Sarai, the two kids exchanged glances, their own frowns easing. Hesitantly, one of them tried imitating Sara’s smile. Seeing this, Sarai whispered, “See? The horse feels your worry. Stay calm and smile.” Then, the other boy reached out. This time, the buckskin horse stopped snorting and stood still, accepting the touch. A wave of quiet relief washed over Sarai. A simple smile, a silent language of kindness understood by every heart, human or horse, was the most powerful tool. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Sarai在给救援马Amadore戴笼头时遇到困难，新来的马厩男孩Cody通过展示马对表情的反应帮助她成功。随后，他们遇到两个男孩在安抚一匹栗棕色马时遇到困难，Sarai决定用同样的方法帮助他们。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Sarai咧嘴一笑。‘我知道你们的问题出在哪里。’”可知，第一段可描写Sarai用从Cody那里学到的方法，帮助两个男孩安抚栗棕色马的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“栗棕色马的紧张情绪几乎不知不觉地消散了。”可知，第二段可描写栗棕色马逐渐平静下来，两个男孩也开始放松，并尝试模仿Sarai的方法，最终成功安抚了马。 2.续写线索：进入马厩——安抚马——马逐渐平静——男孩尝试方法——成功安抚马——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①进入马厩：slip inside the stall/enter the stable ②集中注意力于……：focus on/concentrate on ③耳语：murmur/whisper/say in a low voice 情绪类 ①困惑的：puzzled/confused  ②好心：kindness/compassion/goodwill 【点睛】【高分句型1】Hardly had her voice faded away, Sarai slipped inside the stall, slowly and deliberately.（运用了hardly...when...引出的部分倒装句型，表示“一……就……”） 【高分句型2】Watching Sarai, the two kids exchanged glances, their own frowns easing.（运用了现在分词Watching作状语和独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 吕梁市2024—2025学年高一第二学期期末调研测试 英语试题 (本试题满分150分，考试时间120分钟。答案一律写在答题卡上) 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必用0.5毫米黑色签字笔填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息。 2.考试作答时，请将答案正确地填写在答题卡上对应的答题区域内，答在本试卷上无效。 3.第一部分听力满分30分，不计入总分。 4.考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

B Pasma “Molai” Payeng, who grew up in a tiny village in India, was just 16 years old when he realized his life mission — to grow trees all his life. It was in 1979 that something disturbing happened around his home. A flood had struck the area and washed some snakes up on the sandbar. As the water dried up, the sun burned the land. Without trees or shade, the snakes died. Seeing their dead bodies, Molai felt heartbroken. He realized that if trees grew there, animals could survive. Molai turned to the forest officials, only to be told that nothing would grow there. However, Molai went looking on his own and finally discovered a nearby island where he began to plant bamboo saplings. Watering them twice daily in the dry season was really a tough task for a lone boy. To save time, he built bamboo platforms over each sapling and placed clay pots with tiny holes above them. Rainwater slowly dripped down, keeping the plants alive. After years of care, the bamboo grew tall. Molai then planted trees. To improve the soil, he even brought red ants, which break down dead leaves but sting painfully. Despite the discomfort, he continued. It took Molai 30 years to turn the sandbar into a forest. He lived simply with his family, selling milk from their cattle to survive. Most of his work was unpaid, but he never gave up because he loved nature. Years later, elephants damaged the village. When officials searched for them, they discovered Molai’s thick, green forest on the once-barren (曾经荒芜的) sandbar. They were shocked. News spread, and people came to learn about his efforts. Molai’s story inspired others to protect nature. “Everyone must help save nature,” Molai said. Though he lived a simple life, he was proud to have awakened many people’s love for nature. 4. What motivated Molai to start his tree-planting project? A. The desire for financial rewards. B. The shock from seeing dead snakes. C. The influence of forest officials. D. The request from his family. 5. What was the direct function of clay pots? A. Collecting the rainwater. B. Keeping the plants alive. C. Channeling the rainwater. D. Protecting bamboo saplings. 6. Why is the search for elephants mentioned in paragraph 6? A. To explain why Molai chose to plant trees in that area. B. To criticize the officials for not helping Molai earlier. C. To demonstrate how Molai’s efforts gained public attention. D. To prove that Molai’s forest was large enough to attract elephants. 7. Which of the following best describes Molai according to the passage? A. Modest and reserved. B. Grateful and content. C. Selfish and unconcerned. D. Determined and persistent. C Since the start of the industrial revolution, there have been threats that new machines would take over human jobs. For the most part, humans have won. Now, with AI application on the horizon, the threat’s being realized: the robots really are coming for some jobs. A March 2023 report estimated that across the EU and US, 300 million jobs could be lost to automation (自动化). Thankfully, it’s not all bad news: there are still things AI isn’t capable of — tasks that involve clearly human qualities, like emotional intelligence and outside-the-box thinking. Martin Ford, author of Rule of the Robots: How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything, claims there will be three types of jobs surviving in the near future. The first is genuinely creative work, where people generate new ideas and build something novel rather than doing formulaic (公式化的，刻板的) or rearranging tasks. The second protected category comprises jobs needing complex interpersonal skills, like nurses and journalists, as AI lacks the ability to build relationships. The third safe zone consists of jobs requiring mobility, skills and problem-solving in unpredictable situations, which are hardest to automate. It’s important to notice that an advanced education or a high-paying position is not a defence against AI takeover. In many cases, more educated workers are going to be more threatened than then even the least educated workers. “Think of the person who cleans hotel rooms — it’s really hard to automate that job.” Ford said. In short seeking roles in dynamic, shifting environments that include unpredictable tasks is a good way to avoid job loss to AI. At least, for a while. 8. What is the main concern caused by AI according to the passage? A. AI development is slower than experts initially predicted. B. Potential job loss due to AI automation is alarmingly huge. C. AI’s lack of creativity makes it unsuitable for most modern jobs. D AI will lead to widespread unemployment without any solutions. 9. What does the underlined word in the paragraph 2 mean? A. Creative. B. Independent. C. Previous. D. Average. 10. According to Martin Ford, which job is LEAST likely to be replaced by AI soon? A. A data analyst processing large datasets. B. A white-collar employee dealing with paperwork. C. A factory worker putting products together exactly and repeatedly. D. A social worker building trust and providing support to poor families. 11. Which could be the best title for the passage? A. All Jobs at Risk from AI B. The Battle for Employment C. Human Qualities Defining Future Work D. Emotional Intelligence Winning AI D Chinese researchers have discovered that lotus roots, typically considered crispy and fragile, possess high-strength composite structures suitable for bone repair. Wu Jun, an associate professor at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), explains that through processing, the strength of lotus root materials is enhanced, allowing them to maintain long-lasting support. Lotus roots feature natural, continuous pores (细孔) that create an ideal environment for bone regeneration. The porous (透气的) structure promotes the growth of new blood vessels and nerves, facilitating oxygen and nutrient exchange at injury spots. Additionally, lotus root scaffolds show excellent biocompatibility (生物相容性) with minimal toxic side effects. Four years ago, Wu and his team began experimenting with lotus root-derived biomaterials for bone repair and skin wound dressings. In experiments, mice treated with lotus root materials showed accelerated bone injury recovery compared to controls. When inserted into broken bones, the biodegradable lotus root material keeps pace with the bone’s regeneration rate, degrading naturally as the bone heals. Currently, bone cement, a common polymer material, mainly aids in restoring bone structure but has limited bone regeneration capabilities. Lotus root biomaterials are expected to replace nonporous, biologically inactive bone cement, which often causes inflammation (炎症) and tissue proliferation (增生) over time. The production of lotus root biomaterials involves cleaning, freeze-drying, mineralization (矿化), and fine processing to maintain their natural structure. These materials can be tailored into three-dimensional scaffolds suited to individual bone injuries. Wu’s team plans to conduct large animal experiments on sheep to further confirm their findings. Beyond bone repair, they are exploring the use of lotus roots in wound dressings to promote faster healing, highlighting the material’s broad medical potential. 12. Lotus roots are considered suitable for bone repair because of _______. A. ease of processing B. crispiness and fragility C. common use in cooking D. high-strength composite structures 13. What result was found in the mouse-based experiments? A. Lotus root materials caused an inflammatory response in the mice. B. Lotus root materials promoted a faster healing process of bone injuries. C. Lotus root materials failed to make any difference in bone injury recovery. D. Lotus root materials broke down too rapidly to have any therapeutic value. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the potential of lotus root biomaterials? A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic. 15. The passage mainly focuses on ________. A. the drawback of common bone-repair methods B. the features and medical uses of lotus root biomaterials C. the comparison between lotus root and bone cements D. the difficulties in creating new bone-repair substances 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Repetition is an essential part of the learning journey. It is not just a simple mechanical operation but also a challenge and breakthrough of one’s own limits. ____16____ The following points can provide effective approaches to make repetition powerful. ____17____ In each repetition, we should reflect critically on what we learned, trying to discover new knowledge from the old knowledge. This way of thinking can help us establish a more solid knowledge system and improve our cognitive ability. Use multiple forms of repetition. Learning should not be limited to a single form. Instead, it should fully integrate multiple senses such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing. ____18____ This diverse repetition not only improves learning efficiency but also enhances the lastingness of memory. Extensive Application. The ultimate goal of learning is application. Only by applying the learned knowledge to the solution to practical problems can we truly understand its connotation (内涵) and value. In the process of application, we can deepen our understanding of knowledge points. ____19____ Learning is a lifelong journey. ____20____ Extreme repetition and never-ending persistence makes us keep progressing. In this process, we may encounter difficulties and challenges, but as long as we maintain our desire for knowledge and confidence in ourselves, we will definitely be able to break through ourselves and go beyond our limits. A. Focus only on difficult subjects. B. Apply critical thinking during repetition. C. Keep challenging yourself through purposeful practice. D. That way, we can understand knowledge more comprehensively. E. Moreover, we can make learning a shortcut with practical application. F. It requires smart strategies instead of blind repetition to become meaningful. G. Thus, we can develop the problem-solving ability and employ knowledge flexibly. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 According to legend, a young man while wandering the desert ____21____ a spring of delicious crystal-clear water.

But Amadore still shied away each time she reached for him. “Your expression is the issue here,” came a voice from a stable (马厩) boy. Sarai sighed, and turned to see the unfamiliar boy while keeping Amadore in sight. “Who are you?” she asked. “I’m Cody and I know where your problem lies,” he smiled. Frowning at the newcomer, Sarai noted she’d never seen him before. “We just moved here” Cody explained. “If you don’t know me or my horse,” Sarai asked, “how could you possibly know my problem?” “I just do,” Cody smiled again. Sarai rolled her eyes and turned away. “Leave me alone, I’ve got work.” Yet after another failure, she swallowed her pride and asked for help. Without hesitation, Cody showed his horse two photos: one of a smiling face, the other of an angry one. The horse stayed calm when shown the smiling face but shied away from the scowl (不悦的神色). “Horses read our expressions,” Cody explained. Encouraged, Sarai took a deep breath. Smiling with a relaxed face, she approached Amadore again. His ears switched (猛拉) forward. She gently lifted the halter and Amadore stepped right into it. “We did it,” she breathed a sigh of relief. As they led Amadore out effortlessly, they passed by a door about three meters away, and heard a commotion(骚动). It was another two struggling boys who were trying to brush down a buckskin horse (栗棕色马). But it was snorting (打着响鼻) and stepping away from them, the two boys frowning in frustration. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)开头已给出。 Sarai grinned. “I know what your problem is.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The buckskin horse’s nervousness faded almost unnoticed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
