Once the car is parked, the day is packed with school activities and hanging out with friends. But at 17, Maggie Taraska had a distinctive goal in mind: Fly alone across the United States. Both of Maggie’s parents were retired from the air force, so the urge to fly is in Maggie’s blood. She went to flight school, put in the hours with an instructor and started on her training hours. But on her first takeoff, something didn’t sound right. The plane had lost one of the landing gear wheels. “As soon as I took off, I just heard something was wrong instinctively.” said Maggie. Her instructor talked to her from the ground while she circled a few times to gather herself. “I was frightened, thinking about all the bad things that could have happened; I was thinking about how my parents were on the ground as I knew they were watching.” Stress and panic can cause any of us to make careless decisions. It takes mental practice to calm down. “Take a few breaths, focus on the moment and follow the plan. I panicked a bit, but followed my training.” Maggie was a little shaky as she talked to the tower, but she had a perfect belly landing that skidded on the infield grass. Her father couldn’t be prouder. “By the time I saw Maggie on her approach, it was a better approach than I could have flown,” he said. Cheers erupted in the tower, and Maggie took a deep breath and climbed out of the plane. Credit does go to the crew for talking to her. Yes, we all need someone to talk us through challenging times, but in the end, it was all Maggie at the controls. We could all be forgiven for calling it quits after an experience like that. After all, it was a bit distressing. So walking away would be understandable. But five days later, Maggie was going through her pre-flight safety inspections, checking the wings, especially checking the landing gear. “It feels amazing,” she said, “It gives an incredible sense of liberation.” At some point in our lives, we will all be in a situation for the first time. It’s scary. But if you face your fears, the whole world opens up to you. 24. Maggie’s urge to fly alone was mainly influenced by ______. A. her parents’ background in air force B. her experience of school activities C. her instructor’s encouragements D. her basic driving skills 25. When Maggie heard something wrong during takeoff, she ______. A. landed the plane immediately B. thought of her parents’ expectation C. circled a few times to calm herself down D. continued flying as if nothing had happened 26. Which words would best describe Maggie’s personality? A. Proud and intelligent. B. Positive and cautious. C. Patient and responsible. D. Fearless and determined. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. A good beginning is half done. C. Fortune favors the brave. D. Practice makes perfect. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了17岁的Maggie Taraska克服重重困难，勇敢追求自己独自驾机飞越美国梦想的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Both of Maggie’s parents were retired from the air force, so the urge to fly is in Maggie’s blood.(Maggie的父母都是从空军退役的，所以麦琪的血液里有飞行的冲动)”可知，Maggie想独自飞行的冲动主要受到她父母在空军的背景的影响。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““As soon as I took off, I just heard something was wrong instinctively.” said Maggie.(“我一起飞，就本能地感觉到不对劲。”Maggie说)”和第三段“Her instructor talked to her from the ground while she circled a few times to gather herself.(她的教练在地上跟她说话，她绕了几圈，让自己镇定下来)”可知，当Maggie在起飞时听到有什么不对劲时，她绕了几圈让自己冷静下来。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Her instructor talked to her from the ground while she circled a few times to gather herself.(她的教练在地上跟她说话，她绕了几圈，让自己镇定下来)”，第四段““Take a few breaths, focus on the moment and follow the plan. I panicked a bit, but followed my training.”(“做几次深呼吸，专注于当下，按计划行事。我有点儿慌了，但还是按照训练的要求做了。”)”和最后一段“But if you face your fears, the whole world opens up to you.(但如果你直面恐惧，整个世界都会向你敞开大门)”可知，Maggie无所畏惧，意志坚定。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第四段“Stress and panic can cause any of us to make careless decisions. It takes mental practice to calm down. “Take a few breaths, focus on the moment and follow the plan. I panicked a bit, but followed my training.”(压力和恐慌会让我们中的任何一个人做出草率的决定。要让自己冷静下来需要进行心理层面的练习。“做几次深呼吸，专注于当下，按计划行事。我有点儿慌了，但还是按照训练的要求做了。”)”和第五段“Maggie was a little shaky as she talked to the tower, but she had a perfect belly landing that skidded on the infield grass.(Maggie在和塔台通话时声音有些颤抖，但她完成了一次完美的腹部着陆，飞机在跑道内场的草地上滑行了一段距离)”可知，本文主要讲述了17岁的Maggie Taraska克服重重困难，勇敢追求自己独自驾机飞越美国梦想的故事，因此我们可以从文中学到“幸运垂青勇者”，即Fortune favors the brave。故选C。 C Microsoft Excel’s auto-correction has long annoyed casual users. Dashes (破折号) before lists of numbers are misread as a minus sign. Phone numbers lose their leading zeroes. Credit-card numbers get re-expressed in scientific notation, like 1.30521E + 17. Geneticists struggle with a particular version of this problem. A gene (基因) called Membrane Associated Ring-CH-type finger 1, commonly known as MARCH1, is, for instance, frequently re-encoded as the date March 1. Something similar happens to genes in the Septin family, of which SEPT1 is a member, and to Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Family Member E41, often known as DEC2. This problem was first noticed in 2004, but was brought to wider attention in 2016 by Mark Ziemann of Deakin University, in Australia. By surveying 166,000 genomics-related papers published between 2014 and 2020, he and his co-authors showed that the number of papers using Excel has steadily increased, and the proportion with auto-correct errors is at around 30%. Errors have also been flagged by researchers in other languages. In Portuguese, for instance, AGO2 (Argonaute RISC Catalytic Component 2) rebrands itself as Agosto 2. Dutch users experience problems with MEII (Meiotic Double-Stranded Break Formation Protein 1), “Mei” being the Dutch for “May”. And geneticists in Finland, where the first month of the year is called Tammikuu, find TAMM41 encoding itself as 41st of January. This continuing state of affairs is surprising. In August 2020, the committee which standardises gene names renamed those beginning MARC, MARCH and SEPT to begin MTARC, MARCHF and SEPTIN, and rebranded DEC1 as DELEC1. Other problematic gene names remained, but this was widely seen as a step in the right direction. Dr Zieman’s latest paper, though, suggests that few researchers have taken it. Such errors often seem amusing rather than dangerous. But they reflect a deeper problem, which is that spreadsheets allow such silent errors, too well camouflaged for authors or their editors to spot, to go undetected for years. To stop this, Dr Ziemann recommends researchers abandon software like Excel in favor of scheduled code written with scientific applications in mind. Such programs are more difficult to be autocorrected and easier to examine. Whether his advice will be taken this time remains to be seen. 28. As for Excel’s auto-correct issue, which statement might Dr Ziemann agree with? A. Switching to science-specific coding tools. B. Relying on Excel’s advanced function. C. Adopting the renamed gene terms. D. Avoiding auto-correct in papers. 29. What does the underlined word “camouflaged” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Decorated deliberately. B. Hidden unnoticeably. C. Corrected automatically. D. Increased sharply. 30. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To emphasize the drawback of autocorrection in scientific research. B. To explain a problem-solving procedure for autocorrection. C. To recommend a new software to replace Excel. D. To advocate a campaign to abandon Excel. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了Microsoft Excel的自动更正功能给遗传学家等科研人员带来的问题。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“To stop this, Dr Ziemann recommends researchers abandon software like Excel in favor of scheduled code written with scientific applications in mind.(为了阻止这种情况，Dr Ziemann建议研究人员放弃使用Excel等软件，转而使用为科学应用程序编写的预定代码。)”可知，至于Excel的自动更正问题，Dr Ziemann可能同意的是转而使用科学专用的编码工具。故选A。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句子“But they reflect a deeper problem, which is that spreadsheets allow such silent errors, too well camouflaged for authors or their editors to spot, to go undetected for years.(但它们反映了一个更深层次的问题，那就是电子表格允许这种无声的错误，这些错误camouflaged太好，以至于作者或编辑无法发现，多年来一直未被发现。)”中“silent errors(无声的错误)”、修饰well camouflaged的“too”以及“for authors or their editors to spot, to go undetected for years”可知，这些错误被伪装得太好，以至于作者或编辑无法发现，多年来一直未被发现，划线词camouflaged的意思是“伪装的”，和Hidden unnoticeably意思相近。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Microsoft Excel’s auto-correction has long annoyed casual users. Dashes (破折号) before lists of numbers are misread as a minus sign. Phone numbers lose their leading zeroes. Credit-card numbers get re-expressed in scientific notation, like 1.30521E + 17.(微软Excel自动纠错功能长期以来一直困扰着普通用户。数字列表前的破折号会被误读为减号。电话号码失去了前导零。信用卡号用科学记数法重新表示，如1.30521E + 17。)”可知，本文的目的是强调科学研究中自动纠错的弊端。故选A。 D Of the many patients who need an organ from a donor, 90% go without. About 240 million people live with rare genetic discases, most of which cannot be treated. Each year poor diets cause more than 10 million early deaths. Suffering on such an immense scale can appear hopeless. However, a technique called CRISPR gene editing promises to help deal with these issues and many more and proper regulation can help it develop. CRISPR is like an editor for DNA. It can rewrite DNA, removing harmful mutations (突变) or adding protective ones. This summer, clinical trials (试验) will start on pig organs edited for human transplants. Last year, the first new treatment went on the market. It seemingly cures sickle- cell disease and beta-thalassemia, two blood disorders that affect millions. If ongoing trials succeed, a one-time treatment might protect against heart attacks for life. CRISPR can also help farming. It can increase outputs or protect crops from climate change. Soon, consumers may get healthier, tastier foods. But now is a crucial time. Since its discovery in 2012, CRISPR has replaced old, less-effective ideas. Gene treatment, which uses viruses to insert genes, can treat rare genetic diseases but is expensive. Genetically modified (GM) crops, which borrow genes from other species, face opposition in Europe. CRISPR offers a new way. But to succeed, it needs continuous investment, which means achieving real-world successes. For this to happen, scientists must show they can get CRISPR into more body cells easily and cheaply. If it can create personalized treatments for individual mutations, it will be even more useful. This requires new science and better regulation. Current regulations for rare-disease drugs aren’t suitable for new medicines. They stop patients from getting new treatments. Developing drugs for small groups has always been hard, and many CRISPR companies are struggling. But CRISPR is programmable, so the same drug can target different mutations. If safety testing and manufacturing standards are loosened, small-batch drugs for rare diseases can be made more cheaply. For patients who may die before drug approval, this is a good trade-off. Agriculture also needs reform. In many regions, gene-edited foods are regulated like GM foods, though they’re different. Gene-edited plants have their own genes adjusted, not genes from other species. Britain plans to pass new, looser laws for gene-edited foods to address climate change threats to food security. But public trust in regulators and scientists could be a problem. 31. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The challenges and requirements for CRISPR’s success. B The differences between CRISPR and GM farming. C. The economic benefits of genetic engineering. D. The history of CRISPR development. 32. What can be inferred about current safety testing standards? A. They are unnecessary for CRISPR treatments. B. They delay treatment access for urgent cases. C. They ensure complete safety for all patients. D. They focus only on agricultural products. 33. As for CRISPR gene editing, the author is ______. A. critical B. doubtful C. indifferent D. positive 34. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. CRISPR: Medical Breakthroughs and Funding Shortages. B. CRISPR: Public Distrust in Agricultural Innovation. C. CRISPR: Potential and Regulatory Adaptation. D. CRISPR: Limitations in Current Applications. 【答案】31. A 32. B 33. D 34. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了CRISPR基因编辑技术如何为解决器官移植短缺、罕见遗传病治疗、不良饮食导致的过早死亡以及农业问题等全球性挑战带来希望，并探讨了该技术发展所面临的挑战和所需的改进措施。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Gene treatment, which uses viruses to insert genes, can treat rare genetic diseases but is expensive. Genetically modified (GM) crops, which borrow genes from other species, face opposition in Europe. CRISPR offers a new way. But to succeed, it needs continuous investment, which means achieving real-world successes. For this to happen, scientists must show they can get CRISPR into more body cells easily and cheaply. If it can create personalized treatments for individual mutations, it will be even more useful. This requires new science and better regulation. (基因治疗利用病毒将基因插入（人体细胞），能够治疗罕见的遗传性疾病，但成本高昂。转基因作物从其他物种中借入基因，在欧洲面临反对声音。而CRISPR技术提供了一种新的途径。然而，要取得成功，它需要持续的投资，这意味着要实现实际应用的突破。为了实现这一目标，科学家们必须证明他们能够轻松且廉价地将CRISPR技术引入更多的体细胞中。如果CRISPR能够针对个体突变创造出个性化的治疗方案，那么它将更具实用性。而这需要新的科学研究以及更完善的监管。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是CRISPR成功的挑战和要求。故选A。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Current regulations for rare-disease drugs aren’t suitable for new medicines. They stop patients from getting new treatments. (目前对罕见病药物的规定不适用于新药。他们阻止病人接受新的治疗。)”和“If safety testing and manufacturing standards are loosened, small-batch drugs for rare diseases can be made more cheaply. (如果安全检测和生产标准放松，治疗罕见疾病的小批量药物就可以生产得更便宜。)”可知，目前的安全检测标准延误了对紧急病例的治疗。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“But CRISPR is programmable, so the same drug can target different mutations. If safety testing and manufacturing standards are loosened, small-batch drugs for rare diseases can be made more cheaply. For patients who may die before drug approval, this is a good trade-off. (但是CRISPR是可编程的，所以同样的药物可以针对不同的突变。如果安全检测和生产标准放松，治疗罕见疾病的小批量药物就可以生产得更便宜。对于可能在药物批准前死亡的患者来说，这是一个很好的权衡。)”可知，作者对CRISPR基因编辑的态度是积极的，故选D。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“However, a technique called CRISPR gene editing promises to help deal with these issues and many more and proper regulation can help it develop. (然而，一种被称为CRISPR基因编辑的技术有望帮助解决这些问题，而更多适当的监管可以帮助它的发展。)”可知，本文主要讲述了CRISPR基因编辑技术如何为解决器官移植短缺、罕见遗传病治疗、不良饮食导致的过早死亡以及农业问题等全球性挑战带来希望，并探讨了该技术发展所面临的挑战和所需的改进措施，因此最好的题目是C选项“CRISPR: Potential and Regulatory Adaptation. (CRISPR：潜力和调控适应)”。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Time or Money? Would you rather have a higher salary or the freedom to work from anywhere in the world? According to a survey, seven out of ten surveyed readers would consider accepting a lower salary for more perks (额外津贴) and benefits — one in ten would definitely do so. ____35____ For today’s workforce, especially Gen Zs and millennials (千禧一代), perks extend far beyond the traditional benefits package. They are putting a lot of focus on work-life balance, career advancement, and the company’s culture and values. Among all, a flexible work arrangement tops the list of those values. ____36____The ability to control when and where they work not only boosts productivity but also helps prevent burnout. This shift enforces companies to demonstrate that they value outcomes and results over rigid schedules. In return, employees feel trusted, valued, and empowered, performing at their best when given the flexibility to balance their personal and professional lives. ____37____ For women, especially working mothers, unclear boundaries between home and work can make them feel like they are always working, which increases the risk of burnout. Moreover, remote work can intensify (增强) the challenges associated with career advancement, as fewer in-person interactions can lead to being overlooked or sidelined. ____38____ This belief could negatively affect their chances for promotions and leadership opportunities. Looking ahead, flexible work arrangements are here to stay and will likely continue to evolve. ____39____ Organizations should ensure equitable opportunities consistent with flexible work models, such as offering personalized arrangements instead of one-size-fits-all solutions. A. But what are these perks and how are companies adapting to meet these expectations? B. Furthermore, those who prefer flexibility are often seen as less committed to their careers. C. While flexible work arrangements offer benefits, they also have drawbacks. D. Flexibility and work-life balance now outweigh financial rewards for many. E. It provides the independence and freedom younger employees seek. F. Employers invest a lot in creating attractive work environments. G. This is where company policies can play a crucial role. 【答案】35. D 36. E 37. C 38. B 39. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了当今职场中员工对于工作灵活性等额外福利的重视，以及灵活工作安排带来的利弊，同时指出公司政策在此方面的关键作用。 【35题详解】 根据上文“According to a survey, seven out of ten surveyed readers would consider accepting a lower salary for more perks (额外津贴) and benefits — one in ten would definitely do so.(根据一项调查，十分之七的受访读者会考虑接受较低的薪水以换取更多的额外津贴和福利，十分之一的人肯定会这样做)”可推知，选项承接上文说明人们对薪资和福利选择的内容。故D选项“对于很多人来说，灵活性和工作生活平衡比经济回报更重要”符合语境。故选D。 【36题详解】 根据上文“The ability to control when and where they work not only boosts productivity but also helps prevent burnout.(能够控制工作的时间和地点不仅能提高工作效率，还能有助于防止倦怠)”可推知，解释了为什么灵活工作安排居首位。E选项“灵活工作安排提供了年轻员工所寻求的独立和自由”符合语境。故选E。 【37题详解】 根据下文“For women, especially working mothers, unclear boundaries between home and work can make them feel like they are always working, which increases the risk of burnout.(对于女性，尤其是职场妈妈来说，家庭和工作之间界限不明确会让她们觉得自己一直在工作，这增加了倦怠的风险)”可知，此处开始阐述灵活工作安排的弊端，引起下文。故C选项“虽然灵活的工作安排有诸多益处，但它们也存在弊端”符合语境。故选C。 38题详解】 根据上文“Moreover, remote work can intensify (增强) the challenges associated with career advancement, as fewer in-person interactions can lead to being overlooked or sidelined.(此外，远程工作会加剧与职业发展相关的挑战，因为面对面互动减少可能导致（员工）被忽视或边缘化)”可推知，选项进一步说明灵活工作安排对职业发展的负面影响。故B选项“那些喜欢灵活性工作的人常被视为对职业的投入度较低”符合语境。故选B。 【39题详解】 根据下文“Organizations should ensure equitable opportunities consistent with flexible work models, such as offering personalized arrangements instead of one-size-fits-all solutions.(组织应该确保与灵活工作模式相一致的公平机会，比如提供个性化的安排而不是一刀切的解决方案)”可推知，选项引出后文公司政策在其中的作用。故G选项“公司政策在此能发挥关键作用”符号语境。故选G。 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 We Need to Talk... and Write A recent survey conducted by UNESCO reveals a significant decline in the ability of young people to express their thoughts and ideas. Half of the 1,333 participants admitted to having poor verbal skills, while 40% struggled with written expressions. Poor education could be a cause of poor communication skills, but that may not explain everything. Most of the participants were well-educated individuals in their 20s and 30s, with over 60% holding a bachelor’s degree or higher. The problem more likely resulted from the rise of digital communication, with young people now preferring texting short messages, which may limit their ability to engage in meaningful conversations and write complete sentences. Effective verbal and written communication skills are essential both in school and in the workplace. Warren Buffett, a famous investor, always urges young people to learn public speaking. It may be scary to speak in front of a group, but it boosts confidence. Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, is known for valuing the written word. He replaces PowerPoint presentations in meetings with “six-page, narratively-structured (叙事结构)” memos. Meetings start with each attendee sitting and silently reading a memo for the first 30 minutes. The decline in communication skills is a worldwide problem. In America, there is a movement among “homeschoolers” to. try to solve the problem by returning to ancient educational wisdom, the “Trivium”, which dates back to medieval times in Europe. The word comes from Latin and means “where three roads meet.” The subjects — the “three roads” — are grammar, rhetoric and logic. Grammar means learning how to write a complete and accurate sentence. Rhetoric is the use of similes (明喻), metaphors (暗喻) and other grammatical devices. And logic is the use of reason to discover what is true or not true, or what can be proved or disproved. Whether such classical education can help with the decline in communication skills remains to be seen, but it offers a glimmer of hope in this challenging situation. 40. What does the survey conducted by UNESCO reveal? _____________________________________________________________ 41. What is the main reason for young people’s poor communication skills? _____________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▶Ancient educational wisdom is applied to address today’s communication decline in America, and it has already helped students improve expressive skills. _____________________________________________________________ 43. Besides the methods mentioned in the passage, what other ways would you use to improve your writing skills? (In about 40 words) _____________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. It reveals a significant decline in the ability of young people to express their thoughts and ideas. 41. The rise of digital communication. 42. Ancient educational wisdom is applied to address today’s communication decline in American and it has already helped students improve expressive skills. According to the passage, whether such traditional education can help with the decline in communication skills remains to be seen. 43. I would read a lot of excellent literary works, analyze their writing techniques and expressions, learn new words and sentence patterns, and write diaries regularly to improve my writing skills. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述年轻人沟通能力下降原因及改善方法。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第一段“A recent survey conducted by UNESCO reveals a significant decline in the ability of young people to express their thoughts and ideas. Half of the 1,333 participants admitted to having poor verbal skills, while 40% struggled with written expressions. (联合国教科文组织最近进行的一项调查显示，年轻人表达思想和观点的能力显著下降。在1333名参与者中，有一半承认自己口头表达能力不佳，40%的人在书面表达方面存在困难。)”可知，调查揭示了年轻人表达思想和观点的能力显著下降。故答案为：It reveals a significant decline in the ability of young people to express their thoughts and ideas. 41题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第二段中的“The problem more likely resulted from the rise of digital communication, with young people now preferring texting short messages, which may limit their ability to engage in meaningful conversations and write complete sentences. (这个问题更可能是由于数字通信的兴起造成的，年轻人现在更喜欢发送短信，这可能限制了他们进行有意义对话和写出完整句子的能力。)”可知，年轻人沟通能力差的主要原因是数字通信的兴起。故答案为：The rise of digital communication. 【42题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章最后一段中的“Whether such classical education can help with the decline in communication skills remains to be seen, but it offers a glimmer of hope in this challenging situation. (这种古典教育能否帮助解决沟通技能下降的问题仍有待观察，但它为这一挑战性局面带来了一线希望。)”可知，这种古典教育（古代教育智慧）是否能帮助解决沟通能力下降的问题还有待观察，而不是已经帮助学生提高了表达能力。所以错误的部分是and it has already helped students improve expressive skills。答案为：Ancient educational wisdom is applied to address today’s communication decline in American and it has already helped students improve expressive skills. According to the passage, whether such traditional education can help with the decline in communication skills remains to be seen. 【43题详解】 开放性题目，此题要求回答：除了文章中提到的方法，你还会用什么其他方法来提高你的写作技巧？答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：我会阅读很多优秀的文学作品，分析他们的写作技巧和表达方式，学习新单词和句型，定期写日记来提高我的写作技巧。故答案为：I would read a lot of excellent literary works, analyze their writing techniques and expressions, learn new words and sentence patterns, and write diaries regularly to improve my writing skills. 第二节（20分） 44. 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你们学校下周准备开展一次“中国传统文化进校园”活动，届时一些外国友人也会应邀参加，现正在招募志愿服务人员，请你用英文给负责人Mr. Smith写一封申请信，内容包括： 1. 申请理由； 2. 个人优势； 3. 希望批准。 注意：1. 词数100左右；2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 传统文化进校园：Chinese traditional culture into the campus Dear Mr. Smith __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Mr. Smith, I’m writing to apply for the volunteer position for your upcoming ‘Chinese Traditional Culture into the Campus’ activity, as I learned you are currently recruiting volunteers.

What should applicants do before filling out the application form？ A. Contact UNESCO managers． B. Get access to the database． C. Keep a motivation letter at hand． D. Work in a team for six months． B At 17 years old, most are still learning basic driving skills in America. Once the car is parked, the day is packed with school activities and hanging out with friends. But at 17, Maggie Taraska had a distinctive goal in mind: Fly alone across the United States. Both of Maggie’s parents were retired from the air force so the urge to fly is in Maggie’s blood. She went to flight school, put in the hours with an instructor and started on her training hours. But on her first takeoff, something didn’t sound right. The plane had lost one of the landing gear wheels. “As soon as I took off, I just heard something was wrong instinctively.” said Maggie. Her instructor talked to her from the ground while she circled a few times to gather herself. “I was frightened, thinking about all the bad things that could have happened; I was thinking about how my parents were on the ground as I knew they were watching.” Stress and panic can cause any of us to make careless decisions. It takes mental practice to calm down. “Take a few breaths, focus on the moment and follow the plan. I panicked a bit, but followed my training.” Maggie was a little shaky as she talked to the tower, but she had a perfect belly landing that skidded on the infield grass. Her father couldn’t be prouder. “By the time I saw Maggie on her approach, it was a better approach than I could have flown,” he said. Cheers erupted in the tower, and Maggie took a deep breath and climbed out of the plane. Credit does go to the crew for talking to her. Yes, we all need someone to talk us through challenging times, but in the end, it was all Maggie at the controls. We could all be forgiven for calling it quits after an experience like that. After all, it was a bit distressing. So walking away would be understandable. But five days later, Maggie was going through her pre-flight safety inspections, checking the wings, especially checking the landing gear. “It feels amazing,” she said, “It gives an incredible sense of liberation.” At some point in our lives, we will all be in a situation for the first time. It’s scary. But if you face your fears, the whole world opens up to you. 24. Maggie’s urge to fly alone was mainly influenced by ______. A. her parents’ background in air force B. her experience of school activities C. her instructor’s encouragements D. her basic driving skills 25. When Maggie heard something wrong during takeoff, she ______. A. landed the plane immediately B. thought of her parents’ expectation C. circled a few times to calm herself down D continued flying as if nothing had happened 26. Which words would best describe Maggie’s personality? A. Proud and intelligent. B. Positive and cautious. C. Patient and responsible. D. Fearless and determined. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. A good beginning is half done. C Fortune favors the brave. D. Practice makes perfect. C Microsoft Excel’s auto-correction has long annoyed casual users. Dashes (破折号) before lists of numbers are misread as a minus sign. Phone numbers lose their leading zeroes. Credit-card numbers get re-expressed in scientific notation, like 1.30521E + 17. Geneticists struggle with a particular version of this problem. A gene (基因) called Membrane Associated Ring-CH-type finger 1, commonly known as MARCH1, is, for instance, frequently re-encoded as the date March 1. Something similar happens to genes in the Septin family, of which SEPT1 is a member, and to Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Family Member E41, often known as DEC2. This problem was first noticed in 2004, but was brought to wider attention in 2016 by Mark Ziemann of Deakin University, in Australia. By surveying 166,000 genomics-related papers published between 2014 and 2020, he and his co-authors showed that the number of papers using Excel has steadily increased, and the proportion with auto-correct errors is at around 30%. Errors have also been flagged by researchers in other languages. In Portuguese, for instance, AGO2 (Argonaute RISC Catalytic Component 2) rebrands itself as Agosto 2. Dutch users experience problems with MEII (Meiotic Double-Stranded Break Formation Protein 1), “Mei” being the Dutch for “May”. And geneticists in Finland, where the first month of the year is called Tammikuu, find TAMM41 encoding itself as 41st of January. This continuing state of affairs is surprising. In August 2020, the committee which standardises gene names renamed those beginning MARC, MARCH and SEPT to begin MTARC, MARCHF and SEPTIN, and rebranded DEC1 as DELEC1. Other problematic gene names remained, but this was widely seen as a step in the right direction. Dr Zieman’s latest paper, though, suggests that few researchers have taken it. Such errors often seem amusing rather than dangerous. But they reflect a deeper problem, which is that spreadsheets allow such silent errors, too well camouflaged for authors or their editors to spot, to go undetected for years. To stop this, Dr Ziemann recommends researchers abandon software like Excel in favor of scheduled code written with scientific applications in mind. Such programs are more difficult to be autocorrected and easier to examine. Whether his advice will be taken this time remains to be seen. 28. As for Excel’s auto-correct issue, which statement might Dr Ziemann agree with? A. Switching to science-specific coding tools. B. Relying on Excel’s advanced function. C. Adopting the renamed gene terms. D. Avoiding auto-correct in papers. 29. What does the underlined word “camouflaged” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Decorated deliberately. B. Hidden unnoticeably. C. Corrected automatically. D. Increased sharply. 30. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To emphasize the drawback of autocorrection in scientific research. B. To explain a problem-solving procedure for autocorrection. C. To recommend a new software to replace Excel. D. To advocate a campaign to abandon Excel. D Of the many patients who need an organ from a donor, 90% go without. About 240 million people live with rare genetic discases, most of which cannot be treated. Each year poor diets cause more than 10 million early deaths. Suffering on such an immense scale can appear hopeless. However, a technique called CRISPR gene editing promises to help deal with these issues and many more and proper regulation can help it develop. CRISPR is like an editor for DNA. It can rewrite DNA, removing harmful mutations (突变) or adding protective ones. This summer, clinical trials (试验) will start on pig organs edited for human transplants. Last year, the first new treatment went on the market. It seemingly cures sickle- cell disease and beta-thalassemia, two blood disorders that affect millions. If ongoing trials succeed, a one-time treatment might protect against heart attacks for life. CRISPR can also help farming. It can increase outputs or protect crops from climate change. Soon, consumers may get healthier, tastier foods. But now is a crucial time. Since its discovery in 2012, CRISPR has replaced old, less-effective ideas. Gene treatment, which uses viruses to insert genes, can treat rare genetic diseases but is expensive. Genetically modified (GM) crops, which borrow genes from other species, face opposition in Europe. CRISPR offers a new way. But to succeed, it needs continuous investment, which means achieving real-world successes. For this to happen, scientists must show they can get CRISPR into more body cells easily and cheaply. If it can create personalized treatments for individual mutations, it will be even more useful. This requires new science and better regulation. Current regulations for rare-disease drugs aren’t suitable for new medicines. They stop patients from getting new treatments. Developing drugs for small groups has always been hard, and many CRISPR companies are struggling. But CRISPR is programmable, so the same drug can target different mutations. If safety testing and manufacturing standards are loosened, small-batch drugs for rare diseases can be made more cheaply. For patients who may die before drug approval, this is a good trade-off. Agriculture also needs reform. In many regions, gene-edited foods are regulated like GM foods, though they’re different. Gene-edited plants have their own genes adjusted, not genes from other species. Britain plans to pass new, looser laws for gene-edited foods to address climate change threats to food security. But public trust in regulators and scientists could be a problem. 31. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The challenges and requirements for CRISPR’s success. B. The differences between CRISPR and GM farming. C. The economic benefits of genetic engineering. D. The history of CRISPR development. 32. What can be inferred about current safety testing standards? A. They are unnecessary for CRISPR treatments. B. They delay treatment access for urgent cases. C. They ensure complete safety for all patients. D. They focus only on agricultural products. 33. As for CRISPR gene editing, the author is ______. A. critical B. doubtful C. indifferent D. positive 34. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. CRISPR: Medical Breakthroughs and Funding Shortages. B. CRISPR: Public Distrust in Agricultural Innovation. C. CRISPR: Potential and Regulatory Adaptation. D. CRISPR: Limitations in Current Applications. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Time or Money?
