I was simply waving goodbye to my daughters when it hit me to take a few steps backward. Since I’d already started, I thought I could walk all the way home that way. After all, the contradiction of moving forward by going backward seemed engaging and worth exploring. The first problem was practical. Snow is a pain even for regular walking, so my pace slowed down considerably. At this different pace, life itself felt rushed in comparison. How silly it is that we’re always in such a hurry to get somewhere. For example, I often arrive at places long after my body gets there. Sometimes I reach my daughters’ school, but my mind is still at home, wondering whether I unplugged my wife’s hair dryer. Walking backward, however, forced me to adjust the pace of my body to my mind. The next thing had to do with vision. In regular walking, the path ahead is always visible. Here, you use other senses: you hear the car approaching, you sense the unevenness of the ground, and you notice the change in the firmness of the snow. You activate an entire set of skills we usually don’t use because of our dependence on sight. This way, the familiar path I walked every day suddenly felt like a grand adventure, a discovery I hadn’t anticipated. Because of my addiction to foolish ideas, I decided to continue my backward walking for the rest of the day. And I quickly realized something obvious: the path I enjoyed most was the one I had already travelled. And it struck me that this was the right way to look at life: moving toward a destination without ever forgetting where you’ve been, or how far you’ve come. Looking back is always good for self-value. There’s no way to look at yesterday and not feel better: for the illness that didn’t kill you, or the happy childhood days that still make you smile. 4. What interested the author in the first paragraph? A. Finding a new route back home. B. Engaging himself in deep thinking. C. Moving forward in a different manner. D. Seeing his daughters off every morning. 5. What did the author realize on the way back home? A. We need to stay focused at work. B. We don’t need to live a rushed life. C. We should spend more time with family. D. We shouldn’t compare ourselves to others. 6. How did the author overcome the vision problem? A. He studied a set of new skills. B. He depended on his memory. C. He followed his sense of direction. D. He made full use of other senses. 7. What message does the author seem to deliver in the last paragraph? A. Childhood is the best part in life. B. It’s inspiring to reflect on the past. C. It’s important to find your self-value. D. One ought to learn to forgive himself. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇叙议结合的文章。文章通过作者倒着走路的经历，探讨了放慢生活节奏、依赖其他感官以及回顾过去的重要性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“I started walking backward for no apparent reason. I was simply waving goodbye to my daughters when it hit me to take a few steps backward. Since I’d already started, I thought I could walk all the way home that way. After all, the contradiction of moving forward by going backward seemed engaging and worth exploring.(我毫无缘由地开始倒着行走。当时正挥手向女儿们道别，突然心血来潮想后退几步。既然已经开了头，我索性决定就这么倒着走回家。毕竟，这种通过后退实现前进的矛盾感既引人入胜又值得玩味。)”可知，作者对以一种不同的方式前进感兴趣。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“At this different pace, life itself felt rushed in comparison. How silly it is that we’re always in such a hurry to get somewhere.(在这个不同的速度下，生活本身相比之下显得很匆忙。我们总是急于到达某个地方，这真是太傻了。)”可知，作者觉得人们总是急于到达某个地方太傻了，可得出作者意识到我们不需要过一种匆忙的生活。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The next thing had to do with vision. In regular walking, the path ahead is always visible. Here, you use other senses: you hear the car approaching, you sense the unevenness of the ground, and you notice the change in the firmness of the snow.(下一件事与视觉有关。在正常的行走中，前方的道路总是可见的。在这里，你使用其他感官：你听到汽车靠近的声音，你感觉到地面的不平整，你注意到雪的硬度的变化。)”可知，作者通过充分利用其他感官来克服视觉问题。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子“And I quickly realized something obvious: the path I enjoyed most was the one I had already travelled. And it struck me that this was the right way to look at life: moving toward a destination without ever forgetting where you’ve been, or how far you’ve come. Looking back is always good for self-value. There’s no way to look at yesterday and not feel better: for the illness that didn’t kill you, or the happy childhood days that still make you smile.(我很快意识到一些显而易见的事情：我最喜欢的道路是我已经走过的那条。我突然意识到，这是看待生活的正确方式：朝着一个目的地前进，而不要忘记你去过哪里，也不要忘记你走了多远。回顾总是有利于自我价值。当你回顾昨天的时候，你会感觉好多了：因为那场没有夺去你生命的疾病，或者那些仍然让你微笑的快乐童年。)”可知，作者认为回顾过去是很有启发性的。故选B项。 C In the heartland of Japan, where endless green rice fields paint the landscape like a living blanket, a remarkable form of artistry has emerged — rice paddy art, a practice that transforms ordinary farmland into colourful artworks. While children and adults alike are delighted by the surprisingly complex images, one might wonder: what makes the art a reality? The secret lies in the rice shoots (秧苗). As the plants of different varieties grow, each type progressively turns a different colour ranging from shades of green to purple or gold — to bring an artwork to life. These colorful blocks and lines in fields form vivid designs: towering mountains, lovely animals, and even famous characters from movies and cartoons, which are easily recognizable from high places. The tradition of the paddy art can trace back to just three decades ago in Inakadate, a small Japanese village where rice has been grown for over 2,000 years. The locals got the idea from the sight of children’s multi-colored paintings of rice paddies, then transformed the concept and experimented with it in rice planting. Their efforts paid off. The paddy fields became tourist attractions, greatly boosting the local economy. Creating such art is no simple task. It begins with thorough planning: artists draft detailed blueprints, mapping out exactly the location for each rice variety. Farmers and volunteers then work side by side, carefully planting rice shoots in accordance with the plan. Over months, the fields demand constant care — weeding, watering, and protecting the crops. While Inakadate remains the birthplace of rice paddy art, it now extends widely across Japan. The practice is also becoming all the rage in other countries. In Thailand, one man even arranged for a custom piece of art that spelt out a message asking his girlfriend to marry him. Beyond serving as a striking visual display, the paddy art symbolizes harmony between tradition and innovation. It invites families to experience the beauty of farming, supports rural communities through tourism, and proves that even the ancient practice can adapt to modern creativity — all while keeping nature at its core. 8. What is special about the rice shoots? A. Their colours vary with growth. B. They grow better at high places. C. They are created by famous artists. D. Their designs are meant for movies. 9. What can we infer about creating the paddy art from paragraph 4? A. It is cost-effective. B. It is time-saving. C. It is weather-dependent. D. It is cooperation-based. 10. What does the underlined phrase “becoming all the rage” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Gaining popularity. B. Making profits. C. Celebrating traditions. D. Boosting confidence. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. More Harmonious, More Artistic B. When Rice Grows with Artistry C. How Tourism Affects Rice Growing D. Modern Tech, Modern Farming 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了稻田艺术的创作原理、起源与发展、创作过程、社会价值和影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The secret lies in the rice shoots (秧苗). As the plants of different varieties grow, each type progressively turns a different colour ranging from shades of green to purple or gold — to bring an artwork to life.(秘诀就在秧苗里。随着不同品种的植物生长，每一种植物逐渐变成不同的颜色，从绿色到紫色或金色，使艺术品栩栩如生)”可知，秧苗颜色随着生长而变化。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Creating such art is no simple task. It begins with thorough planning: artists draft detailed blueprints, mapping out exactly the location for each rice variety. Farmers and volunteers then work side by side, carefully planting rice shoots in accordance with the plan. Over months, the fields demand constant care — weeding, watering, and protecting the crops.(创造这样的艺术并非易事。首先要进行周密的规划：艺术家们绘制详细的蓝图，准确地绘制出每种水稻的种植位置。然后，农民和志愿者并肩工作，按照计划精心种植水稻苗。几个月来，田地需要不断的照料——除草、浇水和保护庄稼)”可知，稻田艺术创作基于集体协作，故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词前一句“While Inakadate remains the birthplace of rice paddy art, it now extends widely across Japan.”讲述了虽然Inakadate仍是稻田艺术的发源地，但如今这种艺术形式已广泛传播至日本各地。再根据划线短语所在句的“The practice is also becoming all the ragein other countries.”中的also，可知此处是说明稻田艺术也开始在其他国家流行起来。故划线词意思是“逐渐流行”。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In the heartland of Japan, where endless green rice fields paint the landscape like a living blanket, a remarkable form of artistry has emerged — rice paddy art, a practice that transforms ordinary farmland into colourful artworks.(在日本的中心地带，一望无际的绿色稻田像一张活毯一样把风景描绘成一片，一种非凡的艺术形式出现了——稻田艺术，一种把普通的农田变成色彩缤纷的艺术品的做法)”以及这篇文章主要介绍了传统农业与创新艺术相融合的稻田艺术，故B选项“当水稻种植融入艺术匠心之时”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D A new groundbreaking study reveals a landmark breakthrough in the field of snakebite treatment. Researchers, led by David Baker from the University of Washington, have designed new proteins — unlike any found in nature — that can inactivate some of the most poisonous components of snake bite toxins (毒素). Snakebites represent a substantial global health issue, affecting millions of people each year. According to the World Health Organization, over 2 million people suffer from snakebites annually, with more than 100,000 deaths and 300,000 cases of permanent disabilities. Current treatment options, mainly obtained from animal blood, often present drawbacks, including high production costs, limited efficiency, and severe side effects, such as causing shock and breathing difficulties. In light of these challenges, Baker and his team have made effective use of deep learning tools to develop artificial proteins capable of attaching to and inactivating toxins. The study focuses on a specific group of snake proteins known as three-finger toxins. These toxins often bypass the immune (免疫的) system, making conventional treatments ineffective. Notably, the newly designed proteins provide significant protection against deadly amounts of three-finger toxins in mice, achieving survival rates ranging from 80% to 100%. By avoiding the lengthy and resource-intensive processes associated with conventional antibody development, this approach could lead to more accessible and affordable treatments. Also, the new proteins are smaller, allowing for greater penetration (渗透) into body systems to quickly inactivate the toxins and reduce damage. The efficiency and speed at which these proteins can be designed and produced using AI indicate a transformative shift in drug discovery processes, especially in resource-limited settings. While the study’s findings are encouraging, the researchers acknowledge that traditional antitoxins will remain central to snakebite treatment for the near future. The newly created computer-designed antitoxins can be integrated into existing treatment as additions, enhancing the overall effectiveness of established treatments. Meanwhile, scientists believe the new methods employed in this study could be beneficial to tackling other diseases, potentially leading to the emergence of less expensive medicines for various health challenges. 12. Which is a shortcoming of the current snakebite treatments? A. They mainly rely on animal blood. B. They are effective in certain regions. C. They can lead to serious health risks. D. They may leave toxins in patients’ bodies. 13. How did Baker’s team deal with the current challenges? A. By inventing deep learning tools. B. By identifying more snake toxins. C. By enhancing the immune system. D. By designing AI-generated proteins. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning Baker’s new study? A. Its advantages. B. Its strategies. C. Its procedures. D. Its limitations. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The existing approaches are hard to change. B. The conventional treatments are out of date. C. The new methods might enlighten other treatments. D. The new antitoxins will be the core of future methods. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了一项科学家利用AI设计新型蛋白质，成功中和蛇毒的突破性研究。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Current treatment options, mainly obtained from animal blood, often present drawbacks, including high production costs, limited efficiency, and severe side effects, such as causing shock and breathing difficulties.(目前主要从动物血液中获取的治疗方案往往存在缺点，包括生产成本高、效率有限和严重的副作用，例如引起休克和呼吸困难)”可知，目前蛇咬伤治疗的缺点是会导致严重的健康风险。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In light of these challenges, Baker and his team have made effective use of deep learning tools to develop artificial proteins capable of attaching to and inactivating toxins.

Notably, the newly designed proteins provide significant protection against deadly amounts of three-finger toxins in mice, achieving survival rates ranging from 80% to 100%.(鉴于这些挑战，Baker和他的团队已经有效地利用深度学习工具来开发能够附着和灭活毒素的人工蛋白质。这项研究的重点是一组特殊的蛇蛋白，被称为三指毒素。这些毒素经常绕过免疫系统，使传统的治疗无效。值得注意的是，新设计的蛋白质在小鼠体内对致命数量的三指毒素提供了显著的保护，使存活率从80%到100%不等)”以及第四段“The efficiency and speed at which these proteins can be designed and produced using AI indicate a transformative shift in drug discovery processes, especially in resource-limited settings.(利用人工智能设计和生产这些蛋白质的效率和速度表明，药物发现过程发生了革命性的转变，特别是在资源有限的情况下)”可知，Baker的团队通过设计人工智能生成的蛋白质应对当前的挑战。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“By avoiding the lengthy and resource-intensive processes associated with conventional antibody development, this approach could lead to more accessible and affordable treatments. Also, the new proteins are smaller, allowing for greater penetration (渗透) into body systems to quickly inactivate the toxins and reduce damage. The efficiency and speed at which these proteins can be designed and produced using AI indicate a transformative shift in drug discovery processes, especially in resource-limited settings.(通过避免与传统抗体开发相关的漫长和资源密集型过程，这种方法可能导致更容易获得和负担得起的治疗方法。此外，新的蛋白质更小，允许更大的渗透到身体系统，迅速灭活毒素，减少损害。利用人工智能设计和生产这些蛋白质的效率和速度表明，药物发现过程发生了革命性的转变，特别是在资源有限的情况下)”可知，这一段主要讲述了AI设计的蛋白质技术相较于传统抗蛇毒血清开发的革命性优势。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Meanwhile, scientists believe the new methods employed in this study could be beneficial to tackling other diseases, potentially leading to the emergence of less expensive medicines for various health challenges.(与此同时，科学家们相信，这项研究中采用的新方法可能对治疗其他疾病有益，可能会导致出现更便宜的药物，以应对各种健康挑战)”可知，这些新方法可能会给其他治疗方法带来启发。故选C。 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。 Many high school seniors approach the college application essay with anxiety. They feel their lives are too ordinary to create a story that will impress admissions officers. ____16____ It just needs to be a genuine reflection of their personal growth, drawn from everyday moments. I once worked with a boy who had no idea what to write about. Family? Favorite subject? He kept silent until I suggested, “Hobbies?” He shyly said, “I like boxing.” Then his essay unfolded, not about boxing itself, but about self-discipline and resilience (坚韧), qualities that any college would admire. So look into the things that shape you. ____17____ Some students try to catch attention by writing their essays in unconventional forms, such as a poem or a play. Most still follow the traditional storytelling model: a hook (引子), a story, and a lesson learned. ____18____ For example, the rough edges and the pleasant smell of her father’s handmade furniture inspired one girl to become an engineer. The magic is in the details and emotional depth. As a writing tutor, I was hung up on language rules at first. Should I help my students stick to “standard English,” or let them write the way they naturally speak — even if that includes informal expressions? ____19____ It’s also about expressing ideas naturally and making connections with readers. It doesn’t hurt to tell a humorous childhood incident in a light, conversational tone. ____20____ Essay writing teaches students to express themselves with precision through rethinking ideas, refining language, and rewriting drafts. With multiple edits, they will uncover deeper insights and create a story only they can tell. A. After all, I preferred a formal writing style. B. A great essay eventually takes form in revision. C. I soon realized writing isn’t just about language. D. That’s why they try to make up appealing stories. E. Whatever the form, an essay stands out for its story. F. Once a topic clicks, the essay practically writes itself. G. But a powerful essay doesn’t require a dramatic story. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. E 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何写出好的论文提出了一些建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Many high school seniors approach the college application essay with anxiety.

It connected me to my roots, as my father and grandfather had all graduated from here. So, when our teacher Mr. Dow announced a group project to create a brochure (小册子) about our school for its 100th anniversary, I was thrilled. The best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was. I was paired with two classmates: Jake. who loved photography, and Lily who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right? But my enthusiasm quickly faded. Our first meeting was a disaster. When we discussed which part of the school we should focus on, Jake kept talking about cameras and photos. I turned to Lily, hoping for some support. But she simply shrugged and said, “I’m not really into this. It sounds boring.” Jake nodded in agreement. The project seemed to be harder than I thought. At our next meeting, I tried to lead the conversation back to the project. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. Jake had promised to gather materials from the library, but instead he showed us photos taken on the weekend. Lily hadn’t started her part of the research either, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared. Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, trying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Jake and Lily have talents that can make this project shine. You just need to find a way to get them involved.” 注意： 1.续写词数为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With only three days left, I knew I had to act. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】With only three days left, I knew I had to act. After brainstorming some ideas, I invited Jake and Lily to my house. Opening my grandfather’s diary, I pointed at the faded photo of his class. “Your camera can save the moment for the future,” I told Jake, whose eyes suddenly sparkled. Then I suggested he photograph every corner of the school like “time travelers”. Meanwhile, Lily was engaged in my grandfather’s love letter, eager to bring hidden stories back to life. I was busy organizing layouts, combining historical accuracy with creativity. The clock was ticking, but our laughter replaced earlier frustration. (94词) On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. We stood by the blackboard as everyone went through the pages. They examined the brochure carefully, with their fingers tracing the photos, narratives and timelines which connected three generations of graduates. Noticing surprise on every face, we couldn’t wait to hear Mr. Dow’s announcement of the winner. “This work isn’t just about the school anniversary,” he finally said, tapping the cover where our three names shone, “it’s about how its spirit lives through students’ cooperation.” That afternoon in the library, seeing our brochure on display, we realized our combined talents had created what none could alone.

I was simply waving goodbye to my daughters when it hit me to take a few steps backward. Since I’d already started, I thought I could walk all the way home that way. After all, the contradiction of moving forward by going backward seemed engaging and worth exploring. The first problem was practical. Snow is a pain even for regular walking, so my pace slowed down considerably. At this different pace, life itself felt rushed in comparison. How silly it is that we’re always in such a hurry to get somewhere. For example, I often arrive at places long after my body gets there. Sometimes I reach my daughters’ school, but my mind is still at home, wondering whether I unplugged my wife’s hair dryer. Walking backward, however, forced me to adjust the pace of my body to my mind. The next thing had to do with vision. In regular walking, the path ahead is always visible. Here, you use other senses: you hear the car approaching, you sense the unevenness of the ground, and you notice the change in the firmness of the snow. You activate an entire set of skills we usually don’t use because of our dependence on sight. This way, the familiar path I walked every day suddenly felt like a grand adventure, a discovery I hadn’t anticipated. Because of my addiction to foolish ideas, I decided to continue my backward walking for the rest of the day. And I quickly realized something obvious: the path I enjoyed most was the one I had already travelled. And it struck me that this was the right way to look at life: moving toward a destination without ever forgetting where you’ve been, or how far you’ve come. Looking back is always good for self-value. There’s no way to look at yesterday and not feel better: for the illness that didn’t kill you, or the happy childhood days that still make you smile. 4. What interested the author in the first paragraph? A. Finding a new route back home. B. Engaging himself in deep thinking. C. Moving forward in a different manner. D.

It’s inspiring to reflect on the past. C. It’s important to find your self-value. D. One ought to learn to forgive himself. C In the heartland of Japan, where endless green rice fields paint the landscape like a living blanket, a remarkable form of artistry has emerged — rice paddy art, a practice that transforms ordinary farmland into colourful artworks. While children and adults alike are delighted by the surprisingly complex images, one might wonder: what makes the art a reality? The secret lies in the rice shoots (秧苗). As the plants of different varieties grow, each type progressively turns a different colour ranging from shades of green to purple or gold — to bring an artwork to life. These colorful blocks and lines in fields form vivid designs: towering mountains, lovely animals, and even famous characters from movies and cartoons, which are easily recognizable from high places. The tradition of the paddy art can trace back to just three decades ago in Inakadate, a small Japanese village where rice has been grown for over 2,000 years. The locals got the idea from the sight of children’s multi-colored paintings of rice paddies, then transformed the concept and experimented with it in rice planting. Their efforts paid off. The paddy fields became tourist attractions, greatly boosting the local economy. Creating such art is no simple task. It begins with thorough planning: artists draft detailed blueprints, mapping out exactly the location for each rice variety. Farmers and volunteers then work side by side, carefully planting rice shoots in accordance with the plan. Over months, the fields demand constant care — weeding, watering, and protecting the crops. While Inakadate remains the birthplace of rice paddy art, it now extends widely across Japan. The practice is also becoming all the rage in other countries. In Thailand, one man even arranged for a custom piece of art that spelt out a message asking his girlfriend to marry him. Beyond serving as a striking visual display, the paddy art symbolizes harmony between tradition and innovation. It invites families to experience the beauty of farming, supports rural communities through tourism, and proves that even the ancient practice can adapt to modern creativity — all while keeping nature at its core. 8. What is special about the rice shoots? A. Their colours vary with growth. B. They grow better at high places. C. They are created by famous artists. D. Their designs are meant for movies. 9. What can we infer about creating the paddy art from paragraph 4? A. It is cost-effective. B. It is time-saving. C. It is weather-dependent. D. It is cooperation-based. 10. What does the underlined phrase “becoming all the rage” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Gaining popularity. B. Making profits. C. Celebrating traditions. D. Boosting confidence. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. More Harmonious, More Artistic B. When Rice Grows with Artistry C. How Tourism Affects Rice Growing D. Modern Tech, Modern Farming D A new groundbreaking study reveals a landmark breakthrough in the field of snakebite treatment. Researchers, led by David Baker from the University of Washington, have designed new proteins — unlike any found in nature — that can inactivate some of the most poisonous components of snake bite toxins (毒素). Snakebites represent a substantial global health issue, affecting millions of people each year. According to the World Health Organization, over 2 million people suffer from snakebites annually, with more than 100,000 deaths and 300,000 cases of permanent disabilities. Current treatment options, mainly obtained from animal blood, often present drawbacks, including high production costs, limited efficiency, and severe side effects, such as causing shock and breathing difficulties. In light of these challenges, Baker and his team have made effective use of deep learning tools to develop artificial proteins capable of attaching to and inactivating toxins. The study focuses on a specific group of snake proteins known as three-finger toxins. These toxins often bypass the immune (免疫的) system, making conventional treatments ineffective. Notably, the newly designed proteins provide significant protection against deadly amounts of three-finger toxins in mice, achieving survival rates ranging from 80% to 100%. By avoiding the lengthy and resource-intensive processes associated with conventional antibody development, this approach could lead to more accessible and affordable treatments. Also, the new proteins are smaller, allowing for greater penetration (渗透) into body systems to quickly inactivate the toxins and reduce damage. The efficiency and speed at which these proteins can be designed and produced using AI indicate a transformative shift in drug discovery processes, especially in resource-limited settings. While the study’s findings are encouraging, the researchers acknowledge that traditional antitoxins will remain central to snakebite treatment for the near future. The newly created computer-designed antitoxins can be integrated into existing treatment as additions, enhancing the overall effectiveness of established treatments. Meanwhile, scientists believe the new methods employed in this study could be beneficial to tackling other diseases, potentially leading to the emergence of less expensive medicines for various health challenges. 12. Which is a shortcoming of the current snakebite treatments? A. They mainly rely on animal blood. B. They are effective in certain regions. C. They can lead to serious health risks. D. They may leave toxins in patients’ bodies. 13. How did Baker’s team deal with the current challenges? A. By inventing deep learning tools. B. By identifying more snake toxins. C. By enhancing the immune system. D. By designing AI-generated proteins. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning Baker’s new study? A. Its advantages. B. Its strategies. C. Its procedures. D. Its limitations. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The existing approaches are hard to change. B. The conventional treatments are out of date. C. The new methods might enlighten other treatments. D. The new antitoxins will be the core of future methods. 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。 Many high school seniors approach the college application essay with anxiety. They feel their lives are too ordinary to create a story that will impress admissions officers. ____16____ It just needs to be a genuine reflection of their personal growth, drawn from everyday moments. I once worked with a boy who had no idea what to write about. Family? Favorite subject? He kept silent until I suggested, “Hobbies?” He shyly said, “I like boxing.” Then his essay unfolded, not about boxing itself, but about self-discipline and resilience (坚韧), qualities that any college would admire. So look into the things that shape you. ____17____ Some students try to catch attention by writing their essays in unconventional forms, such as a poem or a play. Most still follow the traditional storytelling model: a hook (引子), a story, and a lesson learned. ____18____ For example, the rough edges and the pleasant smell of her father’s handmade furniture inspired one girl to become an engineer. The magic is in the details and emotional depth. As a writing tutor, I was hung up on language rules at first. Should I help my students stick to “standard English,” or let them write the way they naturally speak — even if that includes informal expressions? ____19____ It’s also about expressing ideas naturally and making connections with readers. It doesn’t hurt to tell a humorous childhood incident in a light, conversational tone. ____20____ Essay writing teaches students to express themselves with precision through rethinking ideas, refining language, and rewriting drafts. With multiple edits, they will uncover deeper insights and create a story only they can tell. A. After all, I preferred a formal writing style. B. A great essay eventually takes form in revision. C. I soon realized writing isn’t just about language. D. That’s why they try to make up appealing stories. E. Whatever the form, an essay stands out for its story. F. Once a topic clicks, the essay practically writes itself. G. But a powerful essay doesn’t require a dramatic story. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I knew exercise is good for health — who doesn’t? But ____21____ were easier. Running bored me, biking sounded risky, and the gym seemed too much to handle. Each offered me a reason to ____22____ it, so I did. When I worked in Kenya, I came to realize that people there don’t “____23____” the way I had thought. Instead, they move — with a clear ____24____ in mind. They move to reach a destination. They move to hunt and to tend crops. There is no such thing as a ____25____, but they are working out 24-7. Maybe I could take ____26____ from these people and add meaning to my exercising. So, I launched my ____27____ program: “chicken-cising,” with 15 baby chicks and a book on ____28____ backyard chickens. It turned out that caring for the flightless birds was quite ____29____ — a full-body workout involving bending, squatting (深蹲), weightlifting and running around. One weekend, my e-watch _____30_____ as many as 145 squats and 10,506 steps! I ended up in better shape than expected and found extra _____31_____ that no gym workout can provide. First, quitting is not a(n) _____32_____: You can’t put on your “chicken-cise” clothes, sit for a while, and then simply decide not to _____33_____, especially when your feathered friends depend on you to survive. Second, you have unbeatable workout partners, who _____34_____ respond to your appearance with encouragement. Bah-Baaaahk! What’s more? Fresh-from-the-hen eggs!

It connected me to my roots, as my father and grandfather had all graduated from here. So, when our teacher Mr. Dow announced a group project to create a brochure (小册子) about our school for its 100th anniversary, I was thrilled. The best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was. I was paired with two classmates: Jake. who loved photography, and Lily who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right? But my enthusiasm quickly faded. Our first meeting was a disaster. When we discussed which part of the school we should focus on, Jake kept talking about cameras and photos. I turned to Lily, hoping for some support. But she simply shrugged and said, “I’m not really into this. It sounds boring.” Jake nodded in agreement. The project seemed to be harder than I thought. At our next meeting, I tried to lead the conversation back to the project. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. Jake had promised to gather materials from the library, but instead he showed us photos taken on the weekend. Lily hadn’t started her part of the research either, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared. Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, trying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Jake and Lily have talents that can make this project shine. You just need to find a way to get them involved.” 注意： 1.续写词数为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With only three days left, I knew I had to act. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
