B John Agnello, a 15-year-old boy, was out fishing with his mom near the Lakefront Marina in Grosse Pointe Woods Tuesday afternoon when he saw that a car just got flying in the air. It was about 15 yards away and dropped into the water. Without hesitation, John said, he and a man jumped into the water to help the woman inside the car. “The car was at like 65% water, so then we had to get her out of the window because the door wasn’t opening,” he said. He and the man pulled the woman to safety, who lost consciousness (意识). John’s mom, Beth Agnello, called 911 at once. John wondered whether there was anybody else inside the car, so he jumped back into the water. Thankfully, the car was empty. “The only part that kind of scared me was when I was under the water inside the car, feeling around in there,” John said. “It was kind of like I got trapped in the car. But everything was fine.” Beth Agnello said she is so proud of her son who is being called a hero. “I’m hoping that he isn’t proud of being a hero and considers some work options for his future,” Beth Agnello said. John Agnello said he doesn’t know if he’ll be a first responder in the future, but he does know he loves helping others. “I think that’s just how my family raised me just to take action to help,” John Agnello said. St. Clair Shores police are investigating what caused the car to go into the water. Police said the woman was taken to the hospital to be examined. 4. Why did John go back under the water? A. To find something valuable. B. To ensure nobody was in the car. C. To show off his swimming skills. D. To check the condition of the car. 5. What made John frightened? A. The emptiness of the car. B.

Fishing can earn her family more money. C. John stays grounded despite the recognition. D. The police can prevent such things happening. 7. Which of the following can best describe John? A. Brave and helpful. B. Active and patient. C. Selfless and honest. D. Adventurous and childish. C For humans, aging is unavoidable. As we age, our bodies naturally weaken and we develop age-related diseases. But axolotls (蝾螈), those cute smiling animals of pop culture fame, seemingly avoid this fate. These critically endangered Mexican species maintain their baby-like features even in adulthood. They can even regrow their limbs, tails, and other organs over their 21-year lifespan (寿命). Now, a new study uncovers one more mystery about these creatures. Their bodies simply stop one of the key processes of aging - the epigenetic clock (表观遗传时钟) — when they’re just four years old. An epigenetic clock estimates an animal’s age based on how life events, such as stress or diet, switch its genes on and off. If an animal has experienced a lot of injury, for instance, its epigenetic or biological age could be much older than its chronological or real age. The study, conducted by geneticist Steve Horvath and biologist Maximina Yun, involved examining 180 axolotls aged from four weeks to 21 years of age. Remarkably, the scientists could only create a reliable epigenetic clock for the first four years of an axolotl’s life. After that, the chemical markers simply stayed the same, as if the animals were in a state of arrested development. The team then developed a clock that can work for humans and axolotls at the same time, calculating aging in both species. This dual clock revealed that axolotls and people age in a similar way, but the amphibians can mysteriously stop the process. The findings could be one more step in the long quest to discover effective anti-aging treatments for humans, which is a significant focus valued at $40 billion and is estimated to hit $60 billion by 2032. What’s more, decoding axolotl DNA could revolutionize regenerative (再生) medicine, paving the way for healing damaged cells, muscles, and even regrowing limbs in humans. James Godwin, an immunologist in Maine, who was not involved in the study, said, “It is a great leap forward in aging and regeneration. If the mechanisms can be understood, then many opportunities to improve human health could present themselves.” 8. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A. By giving definition. B. By quoting an expert. C. By describing a process. D. By making comparison. 9. What is the main function of the epigenetic clock? A. Tracking gene activity. B. Counting cell divisions. C. Predicting exact lifespan. D. Finding aging-related genes. 10. What does “arrested development” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Stopped growth. B. Rapid aging. C. Abnormal change. D. Steady decline. 11. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Expert’s opinion on aging research. B. Potential benefits of the study findings C. Current market value of anti-aging treatments. D. Achievements in regenerative medicine research D Some Canary Island ants have found an unexpected guest — plastic waste. Plastic entanglement (缠住) is commonly associated with ocean life. Finding plastic-wrapped ants suggested that human’s harmful plastic pollution affected a wider range of wildlife than previously thought, researchers reported in Ecological Entomology. Scientists noticed the poor insects while studying 113 ants they’ d collected from the volcanic island of La Palma. One Lasius grandis ant was wrapped in a thin, red fiber, while a Monomorium ant in a black fiber. Chemical and physical analyses of the fibers around the ants’ bodies and legs proved they were made of plastic. Plastic waste is known to be treacherous for seabirds and ocean life, but it can cause problems for land animals too, blocking camels’ organs and killing songbirds. Scientists have also documented some insects associated with plastics. Caddisfly larvae (石蛾幼虫) could use small plastic parts to make their protective body coverings, said Bethanie Carney Almroth, an expert at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. There was little evidence of plastic entangling ants and other small land insects, though. The La Palma ants represent one of the first known examples of plastic trash-entangled land animals. “In the last 15 years, we have acquired enough knowledge about what happens in ocean ecosystems, but it is time to expand to other systems and species to obtain a greater outlook,” said an urban ecologist Á Ivaro Luna of the European University of Madrid. The two ants, which Luna and colleagues collected from a forest and near the top of La Palma’ s volcano, may have picked up the plastic accidentally while looking for food. Because the ants were still alive and mobile when caught, it was unclear whether the plastic harmed them, Luna said. The roads nearby and hiking paths could serve as the fibers’ origins, the researchers suspected. Plastic particles could be carried by the wind to remote areas like those in parts of La Palma where the team found the ants, said an ocean ecologist Melanie Bergmann. It’s possible that insects have been entangled in plastic for a long time and it’s just gone unnoticed. “The more we research, the clearer it becomes that plastic pollution is ubiquitous (普遍存在的),” Bergmann said. 12. What happened to the two ants when they were collected from the island? A. They were fed on the fibers. B. They were unable to move around. C. They were entangled in plastic fibers. D. They were hidden in the plastic waste. 13. What does the underlined word “treacherous” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Dangerous. B. Significant. C Common. D. Motivating. 14. What’s the focus of scientists’ research according to Á lvaro Luna? A. How to handle plastic waste. B. Where the plastics should go. C. What happens in the ocean ecosystem. D. How plastics impact on other systems and species. 15 What is the author’s purpose in writing this text? A. To remind us of land pollution. B. To introduce the poor condition of two ants. C. To update us on scientific research about pollution. D. To propose new means to protect the volcanic island. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Rock climbing has recently grown rapidly, with nearly 1,500 people trying it for the first time each day.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道，讲述了15岁男孩John Agnello和母亲在钓鱼时，看到一辆汽车坠入水中，他不顾危险两次跳入水中救人，最终成功将车内失去意识的女子救出，其英勇行为获得母亲赞扬，同时警方也在调查汽车坠水原因。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“John wondered whether there was anybody else inside the car, so he jumped back into the water. Thankfully, the car was empty(John想知道车里是否还有其他人，于是他又跳回水里。幸运的是，车里是空的)”可知，John再次回到水下的目的是确认车里是否还有其他人。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““The only part that kind of scared me was when I was under the water inside the car, feeling around in there,” John said. “It was kind of like I got trapped in the car. But everything was fine.”(John说：“唯一让我有点害怕的是，当我在车里的水下，在里面摸索的时候。就好像我被困在车里了。不过一切都还好。”)”可知，让John感到害怕的是在车里水下摸索时感觉像被困在车里，也就是从车里出来的困难。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Beth Agnello said she is so proud of her son who is being called a hero. “I’m hoping that he isn’t proud of being a hero and considers some work options for his future,” Beth Agnello said (Beth Agnello说，她为儿子感到骄傲，儿子被称为英雄。“我希望他不要因为被称为英雄而骄傲，而是要考虑一下自己未来的工作选择，”Beth Agnello说)”可知，Beth Agnello希望John不要因为被赞誉为英雄而骄傲，要保持脚踏实地，考虑未来的工作选择。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Without hesitation, John said, he and a man jumped into the water to help the woman inside the car(John毫不犹豫地说，他和一名男子跳入水中，去帮助车里女子)”最后一段“John Agnello said he doesn’t know if he’ll be a first responder in the future, but he does know he loves helping others.(John说，他不知道自己将来是否会成为第一响应者，但他知道自己喜欢帮助别人)”可推断出John是一个勇敢且乐于助人的人。故选A项。 C For humans, aging is unavoidable. As we age, our bodies naturally weaken and we develop age-related diseases. But axolotls (蝾螈), those cute smiling animals of pop culture fame, seemingly avoid this fate. These critically endangered Mexican species maintain their baby-like features even in adulthood. They can even regrow their limbs, tails, and other organs over their 21-year lifespan (寿命). Now, a new study uncovers one more mystery about these creatures. Their bodies simply stop one of the key processes of aging - the epigenetic clock (表观遗传时钟) — when they’re just four years old. An epigenetic clock estimates an animal’s age based on how life events, such as stress or diet, switch its genes on and off. If an animal has experienced a lot of injury, for instance, its epigenetic or biological age could be much older than its chronological or real age. The study, conducted by geneticist Steve Horvath and biologist Maximina Yun, involved examining 180 axolotls aged from four weeks to 21 years of age. Remarkably, the scientists could only create a reliable epigenetic clock for the first four years of an axolotl’s life. After that, the chemical markers simply stayed the same, as if the animals were in a state of arrested development. The team then developed a clock that can work for humans and axolotls at the same time, calculating aging in both species. This dual clock revealed that axolotls and people age in a similar way, but the amphibians can mysteriously stop the process. The findings could be one more step in the long quest to discover effective anti-aging treatments for humans, which is a significant focus valued at $40 billion and is estimated to hit $60 billion by 2032. What’s more, decoding axolotl DNA could revolutionize regenerative (再生) medicine, paving the way for healing damaged cells, muscles, and even regrowing limbs in humans. James Godwin, an immunologist in Maine, who was not involved in the study, said, “It is a great leap forward in aging and regeneration. If the mechanisms can be understood, then many opportunities to improve human health could present themselves.” 8. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A. By giving definition. B. By quoting an expert. C. By describing a process. D. By making comparison. 9. What is the main function of the epigenetic clock? A. Tracking gene activity. B. Counting cell divisions. C. Predicting exact lifespan. D. Finding aging-related genes. 10. What does “arrested development” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Stopped growth. B. Rapid aging. C. Abnormal change. D. Steady decline. 11. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Expert’s opinion on aging research. B. Potential benefits of the study findings C. Current market value of anti-aging treatments. D. Achievements in regenerative medicine research 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了蝾螈这种生物在衰老方面的独特之处。新研究发现，蝾螈在4岁时就会停止表观遗传时钟这一衰老的关键过程。这一发现对人类抗衰老治疗和再生医学研究具有重要意义，可能推动相关领域的发展。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“For humans, aging is unavoidable. As we age, our bodies naturally weaken and we develop age-related diseases. But axolotls (蝾螈), those cute smiling animals of pop culture fame, seemingly avoid this fate. (对于人类而言，衰老是无法避免的。随着年龄的增长，我们的身体会自然衰退，还会患上与年龄相关的疾病。但蝾螈，一种广为人知的可爱微笑型动物，似乎却能避开这种命运。)”可知，作者在第一段中通过对比人类和蝾螈的衰老情况来引入话题。因此，作者采用的是对比的方式引入话题。D选项“By making comparison. (作比较。)”符合题意。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“An epigenetic clock estimates an animal’s age based on how life events, such as stress or diet, switch its genes on and off. (表观遗传时钟根据生活事件（如压力或饮食）如何开启或关闭动物的基因来估算其年龄。)”可知，表观遗传时钟的主要功能是追踪基因活动。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中的“Remarkably, the scientists could only create a reliable epigenetic clock for the first four years of an axolotl’s life. After that, the chemical markers simply stayed the same, as if the animals were in a state of arrested development. (令人惊讶的是，科学家们只能在蝾螈生命的前四年里创建一个可靠的表观遗传时钟。在那之后，化学标记就保持不变，就好像这些动物处于……的状态一样。)”可知，在蝾螈四岁之后，其化学标记就保持不变，说明它们的生长停止了。因此，划线词“arrested development”指的是停止生长。A选项“Stopped growth.(停止生长。)”与划线词为同义词。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“The findings could be one more step in the long quest to discover effective anti-aging treatments for humans, which is a significant focus valued at $40 billion and is estimated to hit $60 billion by 2032. (这些发现可能是人类探寻有效抗衰老疗法这一漫长探索过程中的又一重要进展。抗衰老疗法的研究是一个极具价值的领域，目前投入资金达 400 亿美元，预计到 2032 年这一数字将增至 600 亿美元。)”以及“What’s more, decoding axolotl DNA could revolutionize regenerative (再生) medicine, paving the way for healing damaged cells, muscles, and even regrowing limbs in humans. (此外，对蝾螈 DNA 的解码可能会彻底改变再生医学领域，为修复受损细胞、肌肉以及实现人类肢体再生铺平道路。)”可知，文章最后一段主要介绍了这一发现对人类抗衰老治疗和再生医学研究的意义，提到这可能成为发现有效抗衰老治疗方法的一个重要步骤，并且解码蝾螈的DNA可能会彻底改变再生医学，为修复受损细胞、肌肉甚至再生人类肢体铺平道路。因此，该段主要概括了研究发现的潜在好处，故选B。 D Some Canary Island ants have found an unexpected guest — plastic waste. Plastic entanglement (缠住) is commonly associated with ocean life. Finding plastic-wrapped ants suggested that human’s harmful plastic pollution affected a wider range of wildlife than previously thought, researchers reported in Ecological Entomology. Scientists noticed the poor insects while studying 113 ants they’ d collected from the volcanic island of La Palma. One Lasius grandis ant was wrapped in a thin, red fiber, while a Monomorium ant in a black fiber. Chemical and physical analyses of the fibers around the ants’ bodies and legs proved they were made of plastic. Plastic waste is known to be treacherous for seabirds and ocean life, but it can cause problems for land animals too, blocking camels’ organs and killing songbirds. Scientists have also documented some insects associated with plastics. Caddisfly larvae (石蛾幼虫) could use small plastic parts to make their protective body coverings, said Bethanie Carney Almroth, an expert at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. There was little evidence of plastic entangling ants and other small land insects, though. The La Palma ants represent one of the first known examples of plastic trash-entangled land animals. “In the last 15 years, we have acquired enough knowledge about what happens in ocean ecosystems, but it is time to expand to other systems and species to obtain a greater outlook,” said an urban ecologist Á Ivaro Luna of the European University of Madrid. The two ants, which Luna and colleagues collected from a forest and near the top of La Palma’ s volcano, may have picked up the plastic accidentally while looking for food. Because the ants were still alive and mobile when caught, it was unclear whether the plastic harmed them, Luna said. The roads nearby and hiking paths could serve as the fibers’ origins, the researchers suspected. Plastic particles could be carried by the wind to remote areas like those in parts of La Palma where the team found the ants, said an ocean ecologist Melanie Bergmann. It’s possible that insects have been entangled in plastic for a long time and it’s just gone unnoticed. “The more we research, the clearer it becomes that plastic pollution is ubiquitous (普遍存在的),” Bergmann said. 12. What happened to the two ants when they were collected from the island? A. They were fed on the fibers. B. They were unable to move around. C. They were entangled in plastic fibers. D. They were hidden in the plastic waste. 13. What does the underlined word “treacherous” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Dangerous. B. Significant. C. Common. D. Motivating. 14. What’s the focus of scientists’ research according to Á lvaro Luna? A How to handle plastic waste. B. Where the plastics should go. C. What happens in the ocean ecosystem. D. How plastics impact on other systems and species. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text? A. To remind us of land pollution. B. To introduce the poor condition of two ants. C. To update us on scientific research about pollution. D. To propose new means to protect the volcanic island. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一线新的研究发现，塑料垃圾对海鸟和海洋生物来说是危险的，但它也会给陆地动物带来问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“One Lasius grandis ant was wrapped in a thin, red fiber, while a Monomorium ant in a black fiber. Chemical and physical analyses of the fibers around the ants’ bodies and legs proved they were made of plastic. (一只Lasius grandis蚂蚁被包裹在一根薄薄的红色纤维中，而一只Monomorium蚂蚁则被包裹在黑色纤维中。对蚂蚁身体和腿周围纤维的化学和物理分析证明它们是由塑料制成的。)”可知，两只蚂蚁分别被包裹在红色和黑色的塑料纤维中，由此可知，两只蚂蚁从岛上被收集起来后发现它们被塑料纤维缠住了。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线单词句中“but it can cause problems for land animals too (但它也会给陆地动物带来问题)”可知，“too”表明塑料垃圾也会给海鸟和海洋生物带来问题，对海鸟和海洋生物来说是危险的，“Dangerous”意为“危险的”，能够表达画线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段内容““In the last 15 years, we have acquired enough knowledge about what happens in ocean ecosystems, but it is time to expand to other systems and species to obtain a greater outlook,” said an urban ecologist Á Ivaro Luna of the European University of Madrid. (马德里欧洲大学的城市生态学家Á Ivaro Luna说：“在过去的15年里，我们对海洋生态系统的情况有了足够的了解，但现在是时候扩展到其他系统和物种以获得更广阔的前景了。”)”可知，Á Ivaro Luna认为应该把研究扩展到其他系统和物种以获得更广阔的前景，由此可知，根据Álvaro Luna的说法，科学家们的研究重点是塑料对其他系统和物种的影响。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第三段关键句“Plastic waste is known to be treacherous for seabirds and ocean life, but it can cause problems for land animals too, blocking camels’ organs and killing songbirds. (众所周知，塑料垃圾对海鸟和海洋生物来说是危险的，但它也会给陆地动物带来问题，堵塞骆驼的器官，杀死鸣禽。)”可知，本文主要介绍了一线新的研究发现，塑料垃圾对海鸟和海洋生物来说是危险的，但它也会给陆地动物带来问题，由此可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是向我们介绍有关污染的科学研究的最新情况。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Rock climbing has recently grown rapidly, with nearly 1,500 people trying it for the first time each day.
