Annie Smith, 32, went into labor as floodwaters from Hurricane Harvey surrounded her apartment. With the roads underwater, the two-mile drive to the hospital was impossible. Annie and her husband, Greg, both doctors, began preparing for a home birth.
Greg rushed to gather supplies — scissors, sewing needles — while his mother boiled water to sterilize (消毒) them. “I’m really starting to get scared now,” Annie told Greg as the reality set in. A neighbor, checking on the Smiths, sent an email to their apartment complex’s message board asking for help. Within 30 minutes, at least 15 people showed up, including medical trainees from the complex.
Meanwhile the couple had been continuously dialing 911 but never got an answer. Finally, a call to the director of Annie’s fellowship program led to action. The director’s father, who lived near a fire station, walked there to explain the situation.
Around noon, a rescue truck arrived. By then, the water had reached to a formidable level that the vehicle couldn’t get close. The Smiths’ neighbors and firefighters formed a human chain to help Annie Smith to the back of the flatbed truck. “I held onto them one person at a time,” she said, moving on her hands and knees along their arms until she reached the ladder safely. She sat on a blanket in the truck, a shower curtain over her head, as they drove through the flood.
The Smiths arrived at Texas Children’s Hospital about 15 minutes later. An hour later, their daughter Adrielle was born, weighing 7 pounds, 6 ounces. The couple, exhausted but relieved, appreciated the neighbors and firemen who had come to their aid. “It was absolutely incredible how many people responded and were out in the rain trying to help us,” Annie said.
4. Why did the Smiths at first prepare for a home birth?
A. The hospital was inaccessible. B. Drivers were hard to reach.
C. They were suggested by doctors. D. The emergency services were off duty.
5. Who played a crucial role in calling the rescue truck?
A. A neighbour. B. Greg’s mother.
C. A medical trainee. D. The director’s father.
6. What does the underlined word “formidable” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Scary. B. Awesome. C. Average. D. Normal.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To record an unforgettable disaster. B. To remember the respected firemen.
C. To praise the love within the community. D. To raise funds for Annie’s fellowship program.
C
In today’s digital age, there exists a phenomenon (现象) where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information.
Consider a situation where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you take in more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding weakens. Each new concept (理念) or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach.
This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit (追求) of more information. Although there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this effort gets in the way of practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck, unable to achieve your desired outcomes.
An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then jump into action rapidly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical (理论的) knowledge alone cannot.
The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually grasped. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By taking action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals.
In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s important not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our ambitions.
8. What stops people from achieving the goal?
A The distraction caused by unrelated tasks.
B. The inability to find related information.
C. The confusion caused by the information.
D. The desire to learn basic concept or strategy.
9. What does the author try to advocate in paragraph 3 and 4?
A. Sticking to continuous learning. B. Taking practical action without delay.
C. Gaining as much knowledge as possible. D. Focusing on theoretical knowledge in study.
10. Why is the example “baby learning to walk” mentioned in Paragraph 5?
A. To compare different learning styles.
B. To show the importance of making mistakes.
C. To stress the need for parental guidance.
D. To illustrate learning through action and experience.
11. What makes the best title for the passage?
A. The Balance of Learning and Doing. B. The Process of Accessing Information.
C. The Pursuit of Advanced Knowledge. D. The Significance of Hands-on Experience.
D
Just as damaged teeth can be replaced with gold crowns (齿冠), scientists are exploring how gold can be used to repair damaged parts of the brain.
Scientists at Linkoping University in Sweden said that a “brain of gold” might just be what we need to fight nervous system diseases. The plan is to put gold electrodes (电极) into the affected part of the brain. They will act as “telephone operators” between nerve cells and electronic medical devices, enabling communication so that the nervous system can function normally.
Treatment plans that involve connecting medical devices to the brain already exist. However, the electrodes used are usually made of hard metals, while the brain is like a jelly that “shakes” at the body’s slightest movement.
“As the body is constantly in motion, achieving close contact between something that is hard and something that is soft and breakable becomes a problem,” explained Klas Tybrandt, one of the scientists.
This is why the Swedish scientists are using a new material called “gold nanowires” (金纳米线). As the name suggests, these are long, extremely thin gold threads — 1,000 times thinner than human hair. By putting them into rubber, the scientists have successfully created electrodes that are soft enough to connect comfortably with the human brain.
Gold can be made into structures as small as nanowires. According to Live Science, gold can be stretched, pressed or even rolled into all kinds of shapes without breaking. What’s more, gold doesn’t react with other chemicals in the human brain, making it a safe choice. Once placed in the brain, gold nanowires can last for at least three years, which is longer than many materials currently in use.
12. What role will gold electrodes play in treating nervous system diseases?
A. Replacing damaged nerve cells. B. Serving as a communication link.
C. Activating different brain regions. D. Protecting the brain’s unaffected parts.
13. What can we learn about gold nanowires?
A. They are harder than rubber. B. They are as thin as human hair.
C. They can be placed into the brain. D. They are in the final stage of development.
14. Why is gold a safe choice for use in the brain?
A. It can be stretched by the brain. B. It can be made into various shapes.
C. It is being used to create soft electrodes. D. It has no negative impact on the brain’s functions.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The unique properties of gold nanowires.
B. The history of gold use in the medical field.
C. The current applications of gold in the brain.
D. The potential use of gold in nervous system treatment.

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。
It was June, the last day of school. My class of first-graders was feverishly anticipating their summer vacation. To add a joyful flavor, I had some balloons brought in, but for me, this holiday was bittersweet. I’d just moved to this city and couldn’t afford to fly back to accompany Dad. He was desperately missing me, for it was his first summer without me.
When switching off the light on my way out, I noticed the balloons near the window. Unsure what to do with them, I grabbed the thirteen strings and stuffed them into the backseat of my car. Their rainbow of colors lifted my spirits and gratefully, I didn’t feel so alone.
As the city was still foreign to me, I decided to go for a drive and soon found myself winding down a stretch of road where the trees overhead covered each other. The branches reminded me of two friends stretching out to greet each other. Before long, a retirement home appeared. It was a place with a feeling of forgottenness and I spotted a man sitting alone in the shade outside.
I felt a sudden urge to pull in. But the balloons in my backseat blocked my view-then I knew what to do with them. Opening the door and grabbing one of the strings, I waved to the man, and he smiled. His name was Daniel and he was about Dad’s age. When I handed him the balloon, he grinned (咧嘴笑),“Thanks. It gives a little color to my life.” While tying it to his chair, he looked happier than when I arrived. So I smiled, “You’re welcome, Daniel. Perhaps I’ll see you again sometime.”
Unexpectedly, he replied, “Perhaps, but probably not. Visitors are always welcome, but rarely come.” His words forced me to slide over an old chair next to his. Then we began chatting about our lives and his voice always reminded me of Dad. I’d thought it would be boring talking with a stranger. But it wasn’t; it was enlightening — I had been feeling lonely, and so had Daniel, and so had the residents in the retirement home.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右:(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often.

Annie Smith, 32, went into labor as floodwaters from Hurricane Harvey surrounded her apartment. With the roads underwater, the two-mile drive to the hospital was impossible. Annie and her husband, Greg, both doctors, began preparing for a home birth.
Greg rushed to gather supplies — scissors, sewing needles — while his mother boiled water to sterilize (消毒) them. “I’m really starting to get scared now,” Annie told Greg as the reality set in. A neighbor, checking on the Smiths, sent an email to their apartment complex’s message board asking for help. Within 30 minutes, at least 15 people showed up, including medical trainees from the complex.
Meanwhile, the couple had been continuously dialing 911 but never got an answer. Finally, a call to the director of Annie’s fellowship program led to action. The director’s father, who lived near a fire station, walked there to explain the situation.
Around noon, a rescue truck arrived. By then, the water had reached to a formidable level that the vehicle couldn’t get close. The Smiths’ neighbors and firefighters formed a human chain to help Annie Smith to the back of the flatbed truck. “I held onto them one person at a time,” she said, moving on her hands and knees along their arms until she reached the ladder safely. She sat on a blanket in the truck, a shower curtain over her head, as they drove through the flood.
The Smiths arrived at Texas Children’s Hospital about 15 minutes later. An hour later, their daughter Adrielle was born, weighing 7 pounds, 6 ounces. The couple, exhausted but relieved, appreciated the neighbors and firemen who had come to their aid. “It was absolutely incredible how many people responded and were out in the rain trying to help us,” Annie said.
4. Why did the Smiths at first prepare for a home birth?
A. The hospital was inaccessible. B. Drivers were hard to reach.
C. They were suggested by doctors. D. The emergency services were off duty.
5. Who played a crucial role in calling the rescue truck?
A. A neighbour. B. Greg’s mother.
C. A medical trainee. D. The director’s father.
6. What does the underlined word “formidable” in paragraph 4 mean?

In today’s digital age, there exists a phenomenon (现象) where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information.
Consider a situation where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you take in more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding weakens. Each new concept (理念) or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach.
This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit (追求) of more information. Although there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this effort gets in the way of practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck, unable to achieve your desired outcomes.
An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then jump into action rapidly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical (理论的) knowledge alone cannot.
The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually grasped. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By taking action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals.
In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s important not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our ambitions.
8. What stops people from achieving the goal?
A. The distraction caused by unrelated tasks.
B. The inability to find related information.
C. The confusion caused by the information.
D. The desire to learn basic concept or strategy.
9. What does the author try to advocate in paragraph 3 and 4?
A. Sticking to continuous learning. B. Taking practical action without delay.
C. Gaining as much knowledge as possible. D. Focusing on theoretical knowledge in study.
10. Why is the example “baby learning to walk” mentioned in Paragraph 5?
A. To compare different learning styles.
B. To show the importance of making mistakes.
C. To stress the need for parental guidance.
D. To illustrate learning through action and experience.
11. What makes the best title for the passage?
A. The Balance of Learning and Doing. B. The Process of Accessing Information.
C. The Pursuit of Advanced Knowledge. D. The Significance of Hands-on Experience.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出在数字时代,过度追求信息会阻碍目标的实现,倡导在学习和行动间取得平衡,通过行动和经验来达成目标。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Consider a situation where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you take in more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding weakens. Each new concept (理念) or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach. (考虑一个你渴望实现一个特定目标的情况。你首先要进行广泛的研究,深入研究这个主题。当你接受的信息越多,你的理解力反而越弱。每一个新的概念或策略都揭示出更深的层次,使目标看起来更复杂、更遥不可及)”可知,过多信息使目标看起来更复杂、更遥不可及,造成的困惑会阻止人们实现目标。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit (追求) of more information.(这种情况是一个常见的陷阱:无休止地追求更多的信息)”和第四段“An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then jump into action rapidly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. (实现目标的另一种更有效的方法是在学习和行动之间取得平衡。收集必要的信息,然后迅速采取行动,即使你觉得自己有点准备不足)”可知,作者在第三、四段倡导不要无休止地追求更多的信息,而是立即采取实际行动。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical (理论的) knowledge alone cannot.(这通常是最好的学习方式,因为实践经验提供了理论知识无法提供的见解)”和第五段中“The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually grasped. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. (与婴儿学走路的比较就是一个很好的例子。婴儿不是通过坐着分析走路的过程来学习走路的。相反,它通过尝试走路、摔倒,然后从每次摔倒中了解哪些方法可行,哪些不可行来学习。通过反复努力,最终学会了走路。这种方法也适用于实现目标)”可知,提到“婴儿学走路”的例子是为了说明要通过行动和经验来学习。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第三段“An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. (实现目标的另一种更有效的方法是在学习和行动之间取得平衡)”和最后一段“Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our ambitions.(学习应该是行动的垫脚石,而不是目的本身。只有通过收集知识和应用知识的相互作用,我们才能真正朝着我们的目标前进)”可知,本文主要论述了学习和行动要保持平衡。故A项“The Balance of Learning and Doing.(学习和实践的平衡)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。故选A项。

Just as damaged teeth can be replaced with gold crowns (齿冠), scientists are exploring how gold can be used to repair damaged parts of the brain.
Scientists at Linkoping University in Sweden said that a “brain of gold” might just be what we need to fight nervous system diseases. The plan is to put gold electrodes (电极) into the affected part of the brain. They will act as “telephone operators” between nerve cells and electronic medical devices, enabling communication so that the nervous system can function normally.
Treatment plans that involve connecting medical devices to the brain already exist. However, the electrodes used are usually made of hard metals, while the brain is like a jelly that “shakes” at the body’s slightest movement.
“As the body is constantly in motion, achieving close contact between something that is hard and something that is soft and breakable becomes a problem,” explained Klas Tybrandt, one of the scientists.
This is why the Swedish scientists are using a new material called “gold nanowires” (金纳米线). As the name suggests, these are long, extremely thin gold threads — 1,000 times thinner than human hair. By putting them into rubber, the scientists have successfully created electrodes that are soft enough to connect comfortably with the human brain.
Gold can be made into structures as small as nanowires. According to Live Science, gold can be stretched, pressed or even rolled into all kinds of shapes without breaking. What’s more, gold doesn’t react with other chemicals in the human brain, making it a safe choice. Once placed in the brain, gold nanowires can last for at least three years, which is longer than many materials currently in use.
12. What role will gold electrodes play in treating nervous system diseases?
A. Replacing damaged nerve cells. B. Serving as a communication link.
C. Activating different brain regions. D. Protecting the brain’s unaffected parts.
13. What can we learn about gold nanowires?
A. They are harder than rubber. B. They are as thin as human hair.
C. They can be placed into the brain. D. They are in the final stage of development.
14. Why is gold a safe choice for use in the brain?
A. It can be stretched by the brain. B. It can be made into various shapes.
C. It is being used to create soft electrodes. D. It has no negative impact on the brain’s functions.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The unique properties of gold nanowires.
B. The history of gold use in the medical field.
C. The current applications of gold in the brain.
D. The potential use of gold in nervous system treatment.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D

By putting them into rubber, the scientists have successfully created electrodes that are soft enough to connect comfortably with the human brain.(这就是为什么瑞典科学家使用一种名为“金纳米线”的新材料。顾名思义,这些都是又长又细的金线,比人的头发细1000倍。通过将它们放入橡胶中,科学家们成功地制造出了足够柔软的电极,可以舒适地与人类大脑连接。)”以及最后一段“Once placed in the brain, gold nanowires can last for at least three years, which is longer than many materials currently in use.(一旦植入大脑,金纳米线可以持续使用至少三年,这比目前使用的许多材料都要长。)”可知,金纳米线比人的头发细1000倍、可以被植入大脑。故选C。
14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“What’s more, gold doesn’t react with other chemicals in the human brain, making it a safe choice.(更重要的是,黄金不会与人脑中的其他化学物质发生反应,因此它是一个安全的选择。)”可知,大脑中使用黄金是安全的选择是因为它对大脑功能没有负面影响。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Just as damaged teeth can be replaced with gold crowns (齿冠), scientists are exploring how gold can be used to repair damaged parts of the brain.(就像损坏的牙齿可以用金冠代替一样,科学家们正在探索如何用黄金来修复大脑受损的部分。)”可知,本文主要讲的是瑞典Linkoping University的科学家们正在探索如何使用黄金来修复大脑受损部分,以对抗神经系统疾病,因此D选项“The potential use of gold in nervous system treatment.(黄金在神经系统治疗中的潜在应用。)”能够概括文章主旨。故选D。

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。
It was June, the last day of school. My class of first-graders was feverishly anticipating their summer vacation. To add a joyful flavor, I had some balloons brought in, but for me, this holiday was bittersweet. I’d just moved to this city and couldn’t afford to fly back to accompany Dad. He was desperately missing me, for it was his first summer without me.
When switching off the light on my way out, I noticed the balloons near the window. Unsure what to do with them, I grabbed the thirteen strings and stuffed them into the backseat of my car. Their rainbow of colors lifted my spirits and gratefully, I didn’t feel so alone.
As the city was still foreign to me, I decided to go for a drive and soon found myself winding down a stretch of road where the trees overhead covered each other. The branches reminded me of two friends stretching out to greet each other. Before long, a retirement home appeared. It was a place with a feeling of forgottenness and I spotted a man sitting alone in the shade outside.
I felt a sudden urge to pull in. But the balloons in my backseat blocked my view-then I knew what to do with them. Opening the door and grabbing one of the strings, I waved to the man, and he smiled. His name was Daniel and he was about Dad’s age. When I handed him the balloon, he grinned (咧嘴笑),“Thanks. It gives a little color to my life.” While tying it to his chair, he looked happier than when I arrived. So I smiled, “You’re welcome, Daniel. Perhaps I’ll see you again sometime.”
Unexpectedly, he replied, “Perhaps, but probably not. Visitors are always welcome, but rarely come.” His words forced me to slide over an old chair next to his. Then we began chatting about our lives and his voice always reminded me of Dad. I’d thought it would be boring talking with a stranger. But it wasn’t; it was enlightening — I had been feeling lonely, and so had Daniel, and so had the residents in the retirement home.
注意:

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. An idea sparked. I hurried to the car and returned with the vibrant bunch. Knocking on each resident’s door, I offered a balloon and a smile. Faces lit up like children receiving candies. An elderly lady tied hers to a walker, murmuring “Just like my granddaughter’s birthday.” Soon the courtyard bloomed with floating rainbows. Laughter echoed through the once-silent corridors. As twilight painted the sky, I sat surrounded by storytellers sipping lemonade. Their wrinkled hands patted mine gratefully. For the first time since moving here, loneliness dissolved like sugar in warm tea.
Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. We planted sunflowers by his window, their golden faces tracking the sun like old friends nodding hello. He taught me chess moves from his army days, and I read him newspaper crosswords. Gradually, my students joined our visits, crafting paper cranes with nimble fingers while veterans shared wartime stories. By Christmas, the home buzzed with cookie-baking aromas and carol singers. When Dad finally visited in December, he found me surrounded by silver-haired “adopted grandparents”. His eyes glistened as Daniel shook his hand, “Your daughter’s brought spring to our winter.”
