With his heartwarming party invitation, Doug Turner, an 87-year-old from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, proved that friendship has no age limit.
Wanting to unite neighbors, he hand-delivered a homemade invitation to Michelle Hernandez. Michelle, 29, was working from home when the doorbell rang. Standing on gate was her neighbor, Doug Turner. When he handed her a folded piece of paper with a warm smile, he could clearly see the amazement on her face.
“Hi, I’m Doug across the street...” Doug said. “This is an invitation to a party I’m having on February 15.” It read “A Celebration of Winter” and featured a neatly drawn snowflake. Adding a touch of humor, it listed the party’s start time as“4 pm until the police arrive”.
Michelle burst into laughter as she read the note. She and her husband were new arrival and had only crossed paths with Doug a few times. Yet, his thoughtful gesture left a lasting impression. “It was so sweet,” she said. Michelle was impressed by Doug’s effort to personally deliver each handmade invitation, which included the promise of “Food and drinks on offer”.
Reflecting on the rarity of such gestures, she said, “People don’t really do that anymore.” Michelle shared the Ring camera footage of Doug’s invitation on social media. The video quickly went viral, gaining over 1.3 million views. Doug was caught off guard by the overwhelming response. He never expected the video to attract so much attention.
Since his wife’s passing in 2022, Doug has made it a yearly tradition to host a winter party for his neighbors. He supplies all the food and drinks, asking only that guests bring a smile.
Doug cherished the sense of community he and his wife built by welcoming neighbors into their homes. He found his strongest friendships in his current neighborhood. He wanted to keep those connections alive, so he started an annual winter party to reunite longtime friends and introduce new residents.
4. What was Michelle’s initial reaction to Doug’s invitation?
A. She was astonished. B. She was at a loss.
C. She felt delighted. D. She took it for granted.
5. What humorous element did Doug include in his party invitation?
A. A neatly drawn snowflake. B. A celebration of winter.
C. Food and drinks on offer. D. Policemen’s intervention.
6. Why did Doug start hosting annual winter parties?

Honeybees can detect the unnoticeable smells of lung cancer in the lab — even the faint smell of disease floating from a patient’s breath. Inspired by the insects’ sharp sense of smell abilities, scientists connected bees to electrodes, passed different smells under the insects’ antennae (触角) and recorded their brain signals.
“Different smells sparked recognizable brain activity patterns. One day, doctors might be able to use honeybees in cancer clinics as sensors for early disease detection,” said Saha, a neural engineer at Michigan State University in East Lansing.
Honeybees were held in place with 3D-printed plastic harnesses while the researchers performed bee brain surgery, attaching wires to the region that processes smells. A device delivered streams of air to the insects’ antennae. Each stream could contain mixing smells, such as those breathed out by healthy people. Another mixture copied lung cancer patients’ breaths, undetectable to human noses. Using electrical signals read from the bees’ brains, researchers could distinguish between the two types of breath.
In a separate experiment, Saha’s team collected air remaining above lung cells grown in the lab. The bees could successfully tell the difference between the air samples taken near healthy cells and those gathered near cells of two cancer types: small-cell lung cancer and non- small-cell lung cancer.
Ongoing work in Saha’s lab has also revealed that bees’ smelling ability extends to other trace smells, like those emitted by perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS, or forever chemicals. “That actually blew my mind,” Saha says. “PFAS in the environment are very hard to detect.”
Saha’s team hopes to use the bee smell sensor to test the breath of cancer patients. “The device’s biggest flaw is that it lasts just a few hours before the bees’ response becomes unstable,” he says. “But it works fast and spits out results in real-time. With just one bee, my team could theoretically buzz through more than 100 samples.”
8. What were the bees exposed to in the experiments?
A. Printed plastics. B. Surgical tools.
C. Lung cancer cells. D. Different breath or air samples.
9. What aspects of the research are discussed in paragraph 3?
A. Its findings. B. Its methods. C. Its applications. D. Its influences.
10. Which word can best describe the bees’ smell?
A. Sensitive. B. Limited. C. Ordinary. D. Unreliable.
11. What does the underlined word “flaw” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Feature. B. Weakness. C. Benefit. D. Contribution.
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.

I have six different apple trees in my small forest garden. This means there are a lot of apples to harvest each year. ___16___ Over time, I developed strategies to handle it smoothly. Here’s my advice for you.
Understand what apples you are growing. Apples ripen (成熟) at different times. ___17___ This will vary a little with conditions from year to year. However, having a rough idea of when you will be harvesting allows you to prepare.
___18___ Some pieces of equipment are crucial for the apple harvest. A kitchen juicer isn’t enough; invest in a metal hand-turned macerator (浸渍机) and a wood-and-metal fruit press. These make processing easier. Also, have a suitable storage area ready, along with canning jars (罐子) and other necessities.
Consider investing in a fruit picker. It is a picker with an extendable pole that can reach apples even from the very top of the trees. ___19___
One final tip that I would like to share is very simple: Many hands make light work. If you have a lot of apples to harvest, consider inviting some family or friends and have an apple picking party — then share your harvest, of course. ___20___ It also supports the goals of sustainable living.
These tips may sound basic, but they ensure a smoother apple harvest and prevent waste of your beautiful, delicious apples. With the right preparations, apple harvesting becomes a manageable and enjoyable task each year.
A. Now with it, apple harvesting isn’t boring.
B. Prepare storage areas and required equipment.
C. So the apple picking will become quicker and easier.
D. It took me a while to recognize different apple varieties.
E. Initially, the apple harvest was exciting but challenging.
F. This cooperative approach makes the task more efficient.

47. 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。
We were a poor family living in a small apartment in the heart of the city. My mom worked tirelessly as a waitress, struggling to make ends meet. Despite our financial struggles, she always found ways to bring joy into our lives.
One autumn day, she took my sister and me to the zoo and later the museum with the money she had saved for a long time. The zoo was filled with laughter as we watched the monkeys swing from branch to branch and the giraffes stretch their long necks to reach the leaves. The museum was equally fascinating. It had a vast collection of ancient hand-made objects and interactive exhibits. We were in awe of the world that opened up before us. Even though it was a simple outing, it felt like a luxurious adventure. We even treated ourselves to a meal at a nearby diner for lunch, enjoying every bite as if it were a feast.
But as we walked towards the bus stop to head home, my mom’s face suddenly fell — We had overspent, and there wasn’t enough money left for all three of us to afford the bus fare. The reality of our situation hit us like a cold wave. We were facing a 6-mile walk back home, and to make matters worse, it had just started snowing. The sky was painted gray, and the snowflakes were falling gently but steadily, promising to turn into a heavy snowfall soon.
We ducked into a small Chinese restaurant nearby, hoping to find a way out of our problem. My mom, with a mix of embarrassment and determination, asked the owner if we could use the phone to ask someone for a ride. The owner, Mr. Chen, looked at us with kindness in his eyes. He asked what happened and my mom explained our situation.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Without hesitation, Mr. Chen gave us the money we needed to take the bus.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As I enjoyed the food from Mr. Chen, the words “pay it forward” crossed my mind again.

Honeybees can detect the unnoticeable smells of lung cancer in the lab — even the faint smell of disease floating from a patient’s breath. Inspired by the insects’ sharp sense of smell abilities, scientists connected bees to electrodes, passed different smells under the insects’ antennae (触角) and recorded their brain signals.
“Different smells sparked recognizable brain activity patterns. One day, doctors might be able to use honeybees in cancer clinics as sensors for early disease detection,” said Saha, a neural engineer at Michigan State University in East Lansing.
Honeybees were held in place with 3D-printed plastic harnesses while the researchers performed bee brain surgery, attaching wires to the region that processes smells. A device delivered streams of air to the insects’ antennae. Each stream could contain mixing smells, such as those breathed out by healthy people. Another mixture copied lung cancer patients’ breaths, undetectable to human noses. Using electrical signals read from the bees’ brains, researchers could distinguish between the two types of breath.
In a separate experiment, Saha’s team collected air remaining above lung cells grown in the lab. The bees could successfully tell the difference between the air samples taken near healthy cells and those gathered near cells of two cancer types: small-cell lung cancer and non- small-cell lung cancer.
Ongoing work in Saha’s lab has also revealed that bees’ smelling ability extends to other trace smells, like those emitted by perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS, or forever chemicals. “That actually blew my mind,” Saha says. “PFAS in the environment are very hard to detect.”
Saha’s team hopes to use the bee smell sensor to test the breath of cancer patients. “The device’s biggest flaw is that it lasts just a few hours before the bees’ response becomes unstable,” he says. “But it works fast and spits out results in real-time. With just one bee, my team could theoretically buzz through more than 100 samples.”
8. What were the bees exposed to in the experiments?
A. Printed plastics. B. Surgical tools.
C. Lung cancer cells. D. Different breath or air samples.
9. What aspects of the research are discussed in paragraph 3?
A. Its findings. B. Its methods. C. Its applications. D. Its influences.
10. Which word can best describe the bees’ smell?
A. Sensitive. B. Limited. C. Ordinary. D. Unreliable.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家如何利用蜜蜂敏锐的嗅觉能力来检测肺癌等疾病的微弱气味。文章详细描述了实验过程,包括如何将蜜蜂固定在3D打印的塑料支架上,如何将电极连接到蜜蜂处理气味的脑区,以及如何通过记录蜜蜂大脑的电信号来区分健康人和肺癌患者的呼吸气味。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“A device delivered streams of air to the insects’ antennae. Each stream could contain mixing smells, such as those breathed out by healthy people. Another mixture copied lung cancer patients’ breaths, undetectable to human noses.(一个装置向蜜蜂的触角输送气流。每一股气流中可能含有混合气味,比如健康人呼出的气味。另一种混合气味则模拟了肺癌患者的呼吸气味,而这种气味人类的鼻子是察觉不到的。)”以及第四段“In a separate experiment, Saha’s team collected air remaining above lung cells grown in the lab. The bees could successfully tell the difference between the air samples taken near healthy cells and those gathered near cells of two cancer types: small-cell lung cancer and non- small-cell lung cancer.(在另一项单独的实验中,萨哈的团队收集了在实验室中培养的肺细胞上方残留的空气。蜜蜂能够成功区分从健康细胞附近采集的空气样本,以及从两种癌症类型(小细胞肺癌和非小细胞肺癌)的细胞附近采集的空气样本。)”可知,在实验中,有装置向蜜蜂触角输送气流,气流中包含健康人呼出的气味以及模拟肺癌患者呼吸的气味;在另一个实验中,蜜蜂能区分从健康细胞附近和两种肺癌细胞附近采集的空气样本。所以蜜蜂在实验中接触到了不同的呼吸或空气样本。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Honeybees were held in place with 3D-printed plastic harnesses while the researchers performed bee brain surgery, attaching wires to the region that processes smells. A device delivered streams of air to the insects’ antennae. Each stream could contain mixing smells, such as those breathed out by healthy people. Another mixture copied lung cancer patients’ breaths, undetectable to human noses. Using electrical signals read from the bees’ brains, researchers could distinguish between the two types of breath.(当研究人员对蜜蜂进行脑部手术时,他们用3D打印的塑料装置固定住蜜蜂,将电线连接到蜜蜂处理气味的大脑区域。一个装置向蜜蜂的触角输送气流。每一股气流中可能含有混合气味,比如健康人呼出的气味。另一种混合气味则模拟了肺癌患者的呼吸气味,而这种气味人类的鼻子是察觉不到的。通过读取蜜蜂大脑发出的电信号,研究人员能够区分这两种类型的呼吸气味。)”可知,第三段主要讲述了研究人员用3D打印的塑料装置固定蜜蜂,对蜜蜂进行脑部手术并连接电线到处理气味的区域,用一个装置向蜜蜂触角输送包含不同气味(健康人呼出的气味和模拟肺癌患者呼吸的气味)的气流,最后通过读取蜜蜂大脑的电信号来区分两种呼吸气味。这些内容描述的是研究的具体操作方式和过程。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。文章开篇指出“Honeybees can detect the unnoticeable smells of lung cancer in the lab—even the faint smell of disease floating from a patient’s breath.(在实验室里,蜜蜂能够探测到肺癌那难以察觉的气味——甚至是从患者呼吸中飘散出的极其微弱的患病气息。)”,即蜜蜂能够探测到实验室里肺癌难以察觉的气味,甚至是患者呼吸中飘散出的微弱的患病气息;第三段提到蜜蜂能区分健康人和肺癌患者的呼吸气味;第四段表明蜜蜂能够成功区分从健康细胞附近和两种癌症类型(小细胞肺癌和非小细胞肺癌)的细胞附近采集的空气样本;第五段还提到 “Ongoing work in Saha’s lab has also revealed that bees’ smelling ability extends to other trace smells, like those emitted by perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS, or forever chemicals. ‘That actually blew my mind,’ Saha says. ‘PFAS in the environment are very hard to detect.’(Saha实验室正在进行的研究还表明,蜜蜂的嗅觉能力还能探测到其他微量气味,比如全氟烷基和多氟烷基物质(通常被称为PFAS,即“永久性化学物质”)所散发的气味。“这真的让我大吃一惊,” Saha说,“环境中的PFAS非常难以检测。”)”,说明蜜蜂能探测到环境中很难检测到的PFAS等微量气味。这些都体现了蜜蜂嗅觉的灵敏。故选A。
【11题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“The device’s biggest flaw is that it lasts just a few hours before the bees’ response becomes unstable,” he says. “But it works fast and spits out results in real-time. With just one bee, my team could theoretically buzz through more than 100 samples.”(“这种装置最大的……是,在蜜蜂的反应变得不稳定之前,它只能持续工作几个小时,”他说,“但它工作速度很快,能够实时给出检测结果。从理论上来说,仅用一只蜜蜂,我的团队就能快速检测超过100个样本。”)”可知,划线单词下文提到了这个装置的优点,如工作速度快、能实时给出结果等,而前面说这个装置最大的“flaw”是在蜜蜂的反应变得不稳定之前它只能持续工作几个小时。“but”表示转折,说明前面提到的是这个装置不好的方面。选项B“weakness”,意为“弱点”,与此相符。故选B。

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 (满分25分)
47. 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。
We were a poor family, living in a small apartment in the heart of the city. My mom worked tirelessly as a waitress, struggling to make ends meet. Despite our financial struggles, she always found ways to bring joy into our lives.
One autumn day, she took my sister and me to the zoo and later the museum with the money she had saved for a long time. The zoo was filled with laughter as we watched the monkeys swing from branch to branch and the giraffes stretch their long necks to reach the leaves. The museum was equally fascinating. It had a vast collection of ancient hand-made objects and interactive exhibits. We were in awe of the world that opened up before us. Even though it was a simple outing, it felt like a luxurious adventure. We even treated ourselves to a meal at a nearby diner for lunch, enjoying every bite as if it were a feast.
But as we walked towards the bus stop to head home, my mom’s face suddenly fell — We had overspent, and there wasn’t enough money left for all three of us to afford the bus fare. The reality of our situation hit us like a cold wave. We were facing a 6-mile walk back home, and to make matters worse, it had just started snowing. The sky was painted gray, and the snowflakes were falling gently but steadily, promising to turn into a heavy snowfall soon.
We ducked into a small Chinese restaurant nearby, hoping to find a way out of our problem. My mom, with a mix of embarrassment and determination, asked the owner if we could use the phone to ask someone for a ride. The owner, Mr. Chen, looked at us with kindness in his eyes. He asked what happened and my mom explained our situation.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Without hesitation, Mr. Chen gave us the money we needed to take the bus.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As I enjoyed the food from Mr. Chen, the words “pay it forward” crossed my mind again.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Without hesitation, Mr. Chen gave us the money we needed to take the bus. In addition, he packed some food, insisting that we take it home. My mom, deeply moved, expressed gratitude and told him we’ d try to pay him back one day. But Mr. Chen just smiled and said, “You don’t need to pay me back. Pay it forward instead.” His words echoed in our hearts. As the bus pulled away from the stop, I looked at the falling snow, feeling lucky to be heading home in warmth. My sister and I held the bag of food tightly, imagining how delicious it would be.
As I enjoyed the food from Mr. Chen, the words “pay it forward” crossed my mind again. Mom also shared her thoughts about Mr. Chen’s kindness. “We may not have much,” she said, “but we can always find ways to help others. Remember what Mr. Chen said — pay it forward.” From that day on, we looked for opportunities to spread kindness, just as Mr. Chen had done for us. Even small acts, like sharing our snacks with classmates or helping elderly neighbors with their groceries, became meaningful ways to honor his generosity. The lesson Mr. Chen taught us continued to guide our actions, creating a chain of kindness that we hoped would reach far beyond our small apartment.
