阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
On the Chesapeake Bay, 20 miles east of Maryland’s capital, Kent Island is a town known for its sprawling waters, delicious seafood, and storied maritime history. The quiet charm can be an inviting alternative compared to visiting busier cities on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
Learn about local wildlife
The Chesapeake Bay is home to more than 3,600 species of plants and animals, including rockfish and 173 species of shellfish. Observe local wildlife at the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center, where you can hike, bike, or kayak through this 510-acre nature preserve, which includes forests, wetlands, tidal marshes, and meadows. Bird lovers can spot more than 240 bird species, including bald eagles and herons. In addition to bird-watching, visitors may catch a glimpse of otters, foxes, and turtles throughout the preserve.
Cycle across the entire island
Pedal or walk your way across the island by following the Cross Island Trail. The mapped path stretches nearly seven miles, covering the width of the island, and winds through tidal wetlands, shady woodlands, and wide-open fields. The paved trail begins at Terrapin Nature Park and Beach on the island’s western shore and snakes eastward to Kent Narrows. Both cyclists and hikers can enjoy views of the Chesapeake Bay.
Indulge in a Classic Maryland Crab Feast
Partake in an essential Maryland experience — the crab feast. In this timeless tradition, friends and family gather around a paper-covered table, armed with wooden mallets to crack open freshly steamed Maryland blue crabs seasoned with Old Bay. These crabs are then dipped into melted butter and washed down with a cold beer.
“Crabs are a big part of life on Kent Island,” says Broderick. “Anybody who lives on the water or has a relative on the water generally has crab pots. Or you can go out to one of the great crab houses and sit down for a terrific crab feast.”
Join the festivities on the Bay
Kent Island hosts festivals throughout the year. April starts with the Bay Bridge Boat Show, followed by Kent Island Day in May. During the summer, there’s the Bikes and Beer Festival in July and the Sudlersville Peach Festival in August. As summer slips into fall, the art-centric event Artoberfest is in October, the Bay Bridge Run is in November, and the year closes out with the Waterman’s Crab Basket Tree Lighting.
Where to stay
For a fascinating escape on Kent Island, check into the Inn at the Chesapeake Beach Club. The hotel has 77 well-appointed guest rooms and suites, an on-site restaurant, and a spa. Guests can’t beat the hotel’s location near the Chesapeake Bay, as well as waterfront restaurants and shops.
1. What is Kent Island known for?
A. Tall mountains and busy streets. B. Beautiful waters, seafood, and history.
C. Large shopping malls and museums. D. Cold weather and winter sports.
2. What is a typical Maryland crab feast?
A. Eating fried fish with bread. B. Baking cakes with crab meat.
C. Cooking soup with local vegetables. D. Cracking open steamed crabs with mallets.
3. Where can you find the passage?
A. In a guidebook. B. In a science magazine.
C. In a travel journal. D. In an encyclopedia.
B
In the quiet town of Greenfield, situated in the hills of upstate New York, David Lee had built a life around his art. His small studio in an old Victorian house was a sanctuary (庇护所) where he painted landscapes that captured (展现) the heart of the town he loved. The walls were covered with pieces of art, each one reflecting his dedication and passion.
One crisp autumn evening as the sun set, casting a golden glow over the town, David worked on what he believed was his best piece yet. Lost in his work, he barely noticed a flash of light in the corner of his eye.
It was a neighbor who first saw the smoke. By the time David realized what was happening, the fire had spread through half of his studio. He rushed outside, horrified to see the flames (火焰) consuming everything he had worked so hard for. Within minutes, his studio was reduced to ashes.
The following days were clouded with sorrow. David wandered the streets of Greenfield, confused and with no purpose. Friends and neighbors offered their support, but nothing could replace the years of work destroyed. One evening, as he sat on a bench in the town square, he noticed children drawing with chalk on the pavement. Their laughter and creativity cut through his despair.
David realized his passion for art wasn’t tied to the physical space of his studio. It was something deeper within him. He decided to start over, to rebuild his life and art anew.
With the help of his friends, David set up a small workspace in the community center. He began painting again, this time with renewed purpose. His first piece was an acknowledgment of Greenfield, capturing the town’s resilience (坚韧). As he painted, he felt a sense of peace he hadn’t felt in weeks.
One day, while finishing a challenging piece, a young girl approached him. “What are you painting?” she asked.
David smiled. “It’s a story,” he said. “A story of resilience and hope.”
The girl nodded, her eyes reflecting the colors on the painting. “It’s beautiful,” she said.
David felt warmth in his chest. He realized his art was about more than just paintings — it was about connecting with others and sharing his journey. From then on, David painted not only for himself but for everyone who needed a reminder of the beauty in the world. Though his studio had changed, his passion for art had been renewed, and in that, he found a new kind of resilience.
4. How did David feel after the fire destroyed his studio?
A. Angry and bitter. B. Grateful and content.
C. Lost and empty. D. Anxious and regretful.
5. What is the significance of the children drawing on the pavement?
A. Their creativity helps David find joy again.
B. They are a reminder of the fire’s destruction.
C. They represent the future of art in Greenfield.
D. They show how the town has forgotten about David’s art.
6. What is the theme of David’s first new painting after the fire?
A. Renewal. B. Resilience. C. Peace. D. Passion.
7. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The flash today is the silence tomorrow.
B. The less you expect, the more you appreciate.
C. The flame that burns you may also light your way.
D. The greatest roadblocks are the ones you cannot see.
C
When it comes to slimming down, how your food is prepared may matter more than its nutrition content. A study from University College London(UCL) found that a diet of minimally processed foods over ultra-processed products leads to faster slimming — even when both plans meet the same nutritional guidelines. The benefit of consuming minimally (最低程度地) processed food (MPF) was limited, however. There was little evidence that it resulted in better health overall.
There is growing interest in the impact of the industrial techniques used to make ultra-processed (超加工的) food (UPF). Researchers suspect that the soft texture of many UPFs — and the fact they tend to contain more calories per bite — make them harder to resist and easier to overeat, compared with home-cooked alternatives, which may look nutritionally very similar.
The study followed 55 adults, all of whom were overweight, as they alternated between two eight-week diets. One was made up almost entirely of UPF, the other mostly consisted of minimally processed foods, such as homemade spaghetti or overnight oats. In both cases, the participants were provided with meals that meet official healthy standards. They were given more food than they were likely to eat and were told to consume as much or as little as they liked.
On both diets, they lost weight. But those on the MPF diet lost roughly twice as much: an average of 2.06 percent of their body weight, compared with 1.05 percent on the UPF diet. The weight loss was due to a decreased intake of calories, compared with the participants’ previous diets, which had included an average of about 65 per cent UPF and failed to meet the healthy recommendations. Researchers estimated that over a year, men could lose 13% and women 9% on MPF, compared to 4 — 5% on UPF.
The study, published in the journal Nature Medicine, also explored health markers like blood pressure and cholesterol, but results were not clear enough to prove which diet was better for overall health.
Gunter Kuhnle, professor of nutrition at the University of Reading, said: “The most interesting result of the study is that participants on both groups lost weight, which contradicts claims that ultra-processed foods result in weight gain.”
8. Why do ultra-processed foods likely contribute to overeating?
A. They are less tasty. B. They are harder to digest.
C. They contain fewer calories. D. They have a soft texture and higher calorie.
9. What can be inferred about the participants in the study?
A. They were all teenagers. B. They ate less than they needed.
C. They had freedom in how much they ate. D. They followed the same diet for sixteen weeks.
10. What would the author probably agree with?
A. UPF diets are better for lowering cholesterol.
B. MPF diets greatly improve all health indicators.
C. How food is prepared may influence weight control.
D. Weight loss has nothing to do with food processing.
11. What does Professor Gunter Kuhnle find most interesting about the study?
A. Both groups lost weight. B. The MPF group was much healthier.
C. The UPF group gained weight. D. The study was too short.
D
A theme at this year’s World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting was the perceived need to “accelerate breakthroughs in research and technology.” Some of this discussion was motivated by the climate emergency, some by the opportunities and challenges presented by generative artificial intelligence. Yet in various conversations, it seemed to be taken for granted that to address the world’s problems, scientific research needs to move faster.
The WEF meeting took place just two weeks after Harvard University President Claudine Gay stepped down after complaints were made about her political science scholarship. Gay’s troubles came after Stanford University President Marc Tessier Lavigne stepped down, after an internal investigation concluded that his neuroscience research had “multiple problems” and “fell below customary standards of scientific rigor.” Although it may be impossible to determine just how widespread such problems really are, it’s hard to imagine that the phenomenon of high-profile scholars correcting and withdrawing papers has not had a negative impact on public trust in science and perhaps in experts broadly.
In recent years we’ve seen important papers withdrawn because of questionable data or methods. In one interesting case, Frances H. Arnold, who shared the 2018Nobel Prize in Chemistry, voluntarily withdrew a paper when her lab was unable to reproduce her results — but after the paper had been published. In an open apology, she stated that she was “a bit busy” when the paper was submitted and “did not do my job well.” Arnold’s honesty is admirable, but it raises a question: Are scholars at highly competitive places such as Harvard and Standford rushing to publishing rather than taking the time to do their work right?
It’s impossible to answer this question scientifically because there’s no scientific definition of what constitutes “rushing”. But there’s little doubt that we live in a culture where academics at leading universities are under enormous pressure to produce results — and a lot of them — quickly. However, nearly a century passed between biochemist Friedrich Miescher’s identification of the DNA molecule and suggestion that it might be involved in inheritance (遗传) and the clarification of its double-helix (双螺旋) structure in the 1950s. And it took just about half a century for geologists and geophysicists to accept Alfred Wegener’s idea of continental drift (漂移).
There’s plenty of circumstantial evidence that scientists and other scholars are pushing results out far faster than they used to. One recent study put the number at more than seven million a year, compared with fewer than a million as recently as 1980. Another study found 265 academic authors — two thirds of whom were in the medical and life sciences — published a paper every five days on average. The numbers suggest that the research world has prioritized quantity over quality. Researchers may need to slow down — not speed up — if we are to produce knowledge worthy of trust.
12. What does the word “rigor” underlined in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Quickness and convenience. B. Flexibility and openness.
C. Strictness and precision. D. Fame and popularity.
13. DNA and continental drift are examples to demonstrate that _______.
A. good science takes time B. science advances with time
C. research across disciplines is needed D. breakthroughs seldom happen by chance
14 Which of the following situations can best reflect the author’s concern?
A. A researcher fails to produce evidence for his paper.
B. A university loses young talent due to a lack of funding.
C. An editor overlooks the errors in a writer’s research methods.
D. A scholar publishes a paper with limited data to gain recognition.
15. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Danger of Fast Science B. The Need for Trust in Science
C. An Alarming Warning to Science Editors D. A Popular Trend towards Rushing Science

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。
“This Saturday, we’ll be visiting cats at the animal shelter. If you’d like to join us, here’s an application form”, said Ms. Delgado, the school librarian who had held the reading engagement event for students.
Ben loved cats and he had always wanted one, so he hurried to take an application form. Then Ms. Delgado added, “We’ll be reading to the cats and award readers who make most progress.” Ben stopped. Reading al oud can be a challenging task. Ben might feel his heart racing, his palms sweating, and his voice shaking as he read. He might stumble over words or lose his place in the text. He might feel like everyone was watching him and judging him. Still, he really wanted to visit the cats, so he took an application form anyway.
On Saturday, Ben arrived at the shelter with some of his classmates. “This is Max,” the shelter worker told Ben as she handed him a gray cat. Ben carried Max to a beanbag chair and sat down. Max settled onto his lap. He took a book he’d been working on and started reading. Max, very different from other cats walking around the room while the kids read, purred (发出呼噜声) on his lap as if he had understood what Ben read.
“I’m glad Max is staying and listening to my reading and he is the best cat ever,” Ben told Dad excitedly. “I’m glad you two are friends,” Dad said. All week, Ben’s heart was filled with anxiety as he waited for Saturday to arrive. He was eager to read to Max and the anticipation of spending time with his feline (猫咪的) friend made him restless and nervous. When it arrived, Ben got to read to Max again.
“What if someone adopts Max?” Ben asked Dad later. “I guess you’d read to a different cat,” Dad said. “But I don’t want a different cat. I wish we could adopt Max,” Ben said to Dad. He knew they couldn’t because Mom had allergies (过敏). Ben loved the cat so much that he even told his next-door neighbor, Mrs. Patel, about Max. “Max sounds like a special cat,” said Mrs. Patel.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Week by week, Ben realized that reading seemed easier with Max’s company.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
But on Saturday, Ben couldn’t find Max at the shelter.

In this timeless tradition, friends and family gather around a paper-covered table, armed with wooden mallets to crack open freshly steamed Maryland blue crabs seasoned with Old Bay. These crabs are then dipped into melted butter and washed down with a cold beer.
“Crabs are a big part of life on Kent Island,” says Broderick. “Anybody who lives on the water or has a relative on the water generally has crab pots. Or you can go out to one of the great crab houses and sit down for a terrific crab feast.”
Join the festivities on the Bay
Kent Island hosts festivals throughout the year. April starts with the Bay Bridge Boat Show, followed by Kent Island Day in May. During the summer, there’s the Bikes and Beer Festival in July and the Sudlersville Peach Festival in August. As summer slips into fall, the art-centric event Artoberfest is in October, the Bay Bridge Run is in November, and the year closes out with the Waterman’s Crab Basket Tree Lighting.

In the quiet town of Greenfield, situated in the hills of upstate New York, David Lee had built a life around his art. His small studio in an old Victorian house was a sanctuary (庇护所) where he painted landscapes that captured (展现) the heart of the town he loved. The walls were covered with pieces of art, each one reflecting his dedication and passion.
One crisp autumn evening, as the sun set, casting a golden glow over the town, David worked on what he believed was his best piece yet. Lost in his work, he barely noticed a flash of light in the corner of his eye.
It was a neighbor who first saw the smoke. By the time David realized what was happening, the fire had spread through half of his studio. He rushed outside, horrified to see the flames (火焰) consuming everything he had worked so hard for. Within minutes, his studio was reduced to ashes.
The following days were clouded with sorrow. David wandered the streets of Greenfield, confused and with no purpose. Friends and neighbors offered their support, but nothing could replace the years of work destroyed. One evening, as he sat on a bench in the town square, he noticed children drawing with chalk on the pavement. Their laughter and creativity cut through his despair.
David realized his passion for art wasn’t tied to the physical space of his studio. It was something deeper within him. He decided to start over, to rebuild his life and art anew.
With the help of his friends, David set up a small workspace in the community center. He began painting again, this time with renewed purpose. His first piece was an acknowledgment of Greenfield, capturing the town’s resilience (坚韧). As he painted, he felt a sense of peace he hadn’t felt in weeks.
One day, while finishing a challenging piece, a young girl approached him. “What are you painting?” she asked.
David smiled. “It’s a story,” he said. “A story of resilience and hope.”
The girl nodded, her eyes reflecting the colors on the painting. “It’s beautiful,” she said.
David felt warmth in his chest. He realized his art was about more than just paintings — it was about connecting with others and sharing his journey. From then on, David painted not only for himself but for everyone who needed a reminder of the beauty in the world. Though his studio had changed, his passion for art had been renewed, and in that, he found a new kind of resilience.
4. How did David feel after the fire destroyed his studio?
A. Angry and bitter. B. Grateful and content.
C. Lost and empty. D. Anxious and regretful.
5. What is the significance of the children drawing on the pavement?
A. Their creativity helps David find joy again.
B. They are a reminder of the fire’s destruction.
C. They represent the future of art in Greenfield.
D. They show how the town has forgotten about David’s art.
6. What is the theme of David’s first new painting after the fire?
A. Renewal. B. Resilience. C. Peace. D. Passion.
7. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The flash today is the silence tomorrow.
B. The less you expect, the more you appreciate.
C. The flame that burns you may also light your way.
D. The greatest roadblocks are the ones you cannot see.

When it comes to slimming down, how your food is prepared may matter more than its nutrition content. A study from University College London(UCL) found that a diet of minimally processed foods over ultra-processed products leads to faster slimming — even when both plans meet the same nutritional guidelines. The benefit of consuming minimally (最低程度地) processed food (MPF) was limited, however. There was little evidence that it resulted in better health overall.
There is growing interest in the impact of the industrial techniques used to make ultra-processed (超加工的) food (UPF). Researchers suspect that the soft texture of many UPFs — and the fact they tend to contain more calories per bite — make them harder to resist and easier to overeat, compared with home-cooked alternatives, which may look nutritionally very similar.
The study followed 55 adults, all of whom were overweight, as they alternated between two eight-week diets. One was made up almost entirely of UPF, the other mostly consisted of minimally processed foods, such as homemade spaghetti or overnight oats. In both cases, the participants were provided with meals that meet official healthy standards. They were given more food than they were likely to eat and were told to consume as much or as little as they liked.
On both diets, they lost weight. But those on the MPF diet lost roughly twice as much: an average of 2.06 percent of their body weight, compared with 1.05 percent on the UPF diet. The weight loss was due to a decreased intake of calories, compared with the participants’ previous diets, which had included an average of about 65 per cent UPF and failed to meet the healthy recommendations. Researchers estimated that over a year, men could lose 13% and women 9% on MPF, compared to 4 — 5% on UPF.
The study, published in the journal Nature Medicine, also explored health markers like blood pressure and cholesterol, but results were not clear enough to prove which diet was better for overall health.
Gunter Kuhnle, professor of nutrition at the University of Reading, said: “The most interesting result of the study is that participants on both groups lost weight, which contradicts claims that ultra-processed foods result in weight gain.”
8. Why do ultra-processed foods likely contribute to overeating?
A. They are less tasty. B. They are harder to digest.
C. They contain fewer calories. D. They have a soft texture and higher calorie.
9. What can be inferred about the participants in the study?
A. They were all teenagers. B. They ate less than they needed.
C. They had freedom in how much they ate. D. They followed the same diet for sixteen weeks.
10. What would the author probably agree with?
A. UPF diets are better for lowering cholesterol.
B. MPF diets greatly improve all health indicators.
C. How food is prepared may influence weight control.
D. Weight loss has nothing to do with food processing.
11. What does Professor Gunter Kuhnle find most interesting about the study?
A. Both groups lost weight. B. The MPF group was much healthier.
C. The UPF group gained weight. D. The study was too short.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。伦敦大学学院研究发现,超重成人吃最低程度加工食品(MPF)比超加工食品(UPF)减重更快,虽两者均符营养标准,但暂未证明MPF更有益整体健康,且两组均减重,反驳了UPF致增重的说法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Researchers suspect that the soft texture of many UPFs — and the fact they tend to contain more calories per bite — make them harder to resist and easier to overeat, compared with home-cooked alternatives, which may look nutritionally very similar. (研究人员认为,与家常烹饪的食物相比,许多超加工食品的口感较为柔软,而且每口所含的热量往往更高,这使得人们更难以抗拒它们,也更容易吃得过多。而这些快餐食品的外观在营养成分上可能与家常食物非常相似)”可知,超加工食品可能会导致过度进食是因为它们质地柔软且热量较高。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“They were given more food than they were likely to eat and were told to consume as much or as little as they liked. (他们得到了比他们实际所需更多的食物,并被告知可以随意摄入多少都行)”可知,该研究中的参与者对于饮食量有着一定的自主权。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When it comes to slimming down, how your food is prepared may matter more than its nutrition content. (说到减肥问题,食物的烹饪方式可能比其营养成分更重要)”以及第四段“On both diets, they lost weight. But those on the MPF diet lost roughly twice as much: an average of 2.06 percent of their body weight, compared with 1.05 percent on the UPF diet. (在这两种饮食方案下,他们都成功减重了。但采用 MPF 饮食方案的人减重幅度要大得多:平均减重约2.06%的体重,而采用 UPF 饮食方案的人平均减重仅为1.05%)”可知,文章开篇即点明核心观点——“在减肥这件事上,食物的制作方式或许比其营养成分更为关键”,后续研究也验证了这一点:同样符合营养标准的前提下,MPF饮食(制作方式更简单、加工程度低)比UPF饮食减重更快。可知,作者可能会认同食物的烹饪方式会影响体重控制。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Gunter Kuhnle, professor of nutrition at the University of Reading, said: “The most interesting result of the study is that participants on both groups lost weight, which contradicts claims that ultra-processed foods result in weight gain.” (雷丁大学营养学教授贡特尔·库恩勒表示:“该研究最有趣的结果是,两组参与者都减轻了体重,这与超加工食品会导致体重增加的说法相矛盾。”)”可知,Gunter Kuhnle教授认为这项研究中最有趣的是两个组都减重了。故选A。
D
A theme at this year’s World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting was the perceived need to “accelerate breakthroughs in research and technology.” Some of this discussion was motivated by the climate emergency, some by the opportunities and challenges presented by generative artificial intelligence. Yet in various conversations, it seemed to be taken for granted that to address the world’s problems, scientific research needs to move faster.
The WEF meeting took place just two weeks after Harvard University President Claudine Gay stepped down after complaints were made about her political science scholarship. Gay’s troubles came after Stanford University President Marc Tessier Lavigne stepped down, after an internal investigation concluded that his neuroscience research had “multiple problems” and “fell below customary standards of scientific rigor.” Although it may be impossible to determine just how widespread such problems really are, it’s hard to imagine that the phenomenon of high-profile scholars correcting and withdrawing papers has not had a negative impact on public trust in science and perhaps in experts broadly.
In recent years we’ve seen important papers withdrawn because of questionable data or methods. In one interesting case, Frances H. Arnold, who shared the 2018Nobel Prize in Chemistry, voluntarily withdrew a paper when her lab was unable to reproduce her results — but after the paper had been published. In an open apology, she stated that she was “a bit busy” when the paper was submitted and “did not do my job well.” Arnold’s honesty is admirable, but it raises a question: Are scholars at highly competitive places such as Harvard and Standford rushing to publishing rather than taking the time to do their work right?
It’s impossible to answer this question scientifically because there’s no scientific definition of what constitutes “rushing”. But there’s little doubt that we live in a culture where academics at leading universities are under enormous pressure to produce results — and a lot of them — quickly. However, nearly a century passed between biochemist Friedrich Miescher’s identification of the DNA molecule and suggestion that it might be involved in inheritance (遗传) and the clarification of its double-helix (双螺旋) structure in the 1950s. And it took just about half a century for geologists and geophysicists to accept Alfred Wegener’s idea of continental drift (漂移).
There’s plenty of circumstantial evidence that scientists and other scholars are pushing results out far faster than they used to. One recent study put the number at more than seven million a year, compared with fewer than a million as recently as 1980. Another study found 265 academic authors — two thirds of whom were in the medical and life sciences — published a paper every five days on average. The numbers suggest that the research world has prioritized quantity over quality. Researchers may need to slow down — not speed up — if we are to produce knowledge worthy of trust.
12. What does the word “rigor” underlined in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Quickness and convenience. B. Flexibility and openness.
C. Strictness and precision. D. Fame and popularity.
13. DNA and continental drift are examples to demonstrate that _______.
A. good science takes time B. science advances with time
C. research across disciplines is needed D. breakthroughs seldom happen by chance
14. Which of the following situations can best reflect the author’s concern?
A. A researcher fails to produce evidence for his paper.
B. A university loses young talent due to a lack of funding.
C An editor overlooks the errors in a writer’s research methods.
D. A scholar publishes a paper with limited data to gain recognition.
15. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Danger of Fast Science B. The Need for Trust in Science
C. An Alarming Warning to Science Editors D. A Popular Trend towards Rushing Science
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今科学研究存在急于发表论文,过于注重数量导致了很多问题。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“his neuroscience research had “multiple problems” and “fell below customary standards of scientific (他的神经科学研究存在“多重问题”,并且“低于科学……的标准)”可知,斯坦福大学的校长因他的神经科学研究存在“多个问题”且“低于科学严谨性的惯常标准”而辞职。由于研究存在问题且未达到标准,这里的“rigor”意味着在科学研究中高水平的严格性和精确性。故划线词意思是“严格、精确”。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“However, nearly a century passed between biochemist Friedrich Miescher’s identification of the DNA molecule and suggestion that it might be involved in inheritance (遗传) and the clarification of its double-helix (双螺旋) structure in the 1950s. And it took just about half a century for geologists and geophysicists to accept Alfred Wegener’s idea of continental drift (漂移). (然而,从生物化学家弗里德里希·米歇尔鉴定出DNA分子并提出它可能与遗传有关,到20世纪50年代对其双螺旋结构的澄清,已经过去了近一个世纪。地质学家和地球物理学家仅仅用了半个世纪的时间就接受了阿尔弗雷德·韦格纳的大陆漂移学说。)”可知,DNA和大陆漂移就是证明好的科学需要时间的例子。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“There’s plenty of circumstantial evidence that scientists and other scholars are pushing results out far faster than they used to. (有大量的间接证据表明,科学家和其他学者推出结果的速度比过去快得多。)”以及“Another study found 265 academic authors — two thirds of whom were in the medical and life sciences — published a paper every five days on average. The numbers suggest that the research world has prioritized quantity over quality. Researchers may need to slow down — not speed up — if we are to produce knowledge worthy of trust. (另一项研究发现,265位学术作者——其中三分之二在医学和生命科学领域——平均每五天发表一篇论文。这些数字表明,研究界更看重数量而不是质量。如果我们要产生值得信任的知识,研究人员可能需要放慢速度,而不是加快速度。)”可知,“学者发表了一篇数据有限的论文以获得认可”最能反映作者的担忧。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A theme at this year’s World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting was the perceived need to “accelerate breakthroughs in research and technology.” Some of this discussion was motivated by the climate emergency, some by the opportunities and challenges presented by generative artificial intelligence. Yet in various conversations, it seemed to be taken for granted that to address the world’s problems, scientific research needs to move faster. (今年世界经济论坛会议的一个主题是人们认为有必要“加速研究和技术的突破”。其中一些框架是由气候紧急情况推动的,另一些是由可生成人工智能带来的机遇和挑战推动的。然而,在各种对话中,人们似乎理所当然地认为,要解决世界上的问题,科学研究需要加快步伐。)”结合文章主要说明了如今科学研究存在急于发表论文,过于注重数量导致了很多问题。可知,A选项“快速科学的危险”最符合文章标题。故选A。

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述首届沪港青年合唱节在沪落幕,以特定主题汇聚两地青年歌手,含多项活动,助力两地青年文化交流与友谊加深。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:为庆祝沪港协会成立10周年而举办的首届沪港青年合唱节于周六在上海落幕,并举行了盛大的闭幕音乐会。此空考查谓语动词,主语the first Shanghai-Hong Kong Youth Choir Festival与conclude是主动关系,且动作发生在过去(on Saturday),用一般过去时。故填concluded。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:此次为期三天的活动以“沪港心连心,歌唱向未来”为主题,汇集了来自30 个合唱团的700多名青年歌手,其中许多是来自香港的参与者以及在上海的香港家庭和机构。分析句子结构可知,这里考查“under the theme...” 或“with the theme...”均为固定搭配,均表示“以……为主题”,且句首时首字母应大写。故填Under或With。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:此次为期三天的活动以“沪港心连心,歌唱向未来”为主题,汇集了来自30个合唱团的700多名青年歌手,其中许多是来自香港的参与者以及在上海的香港家庭和机构。空格处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是young singers,指人,在从句中作介词of的宾语,应用关系代词whom引导。故填whom。
【39题详解】

【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:艺术节包括合唱展示、大师班以及一场聚焦合唱创新的学术研讨会。形容词choral修饰名词,innovative的名词形式为innovation,表“创新”,为不可数名词。故填innovation。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:闭幕式上,旨在纪念协会成立10周年的会歌《同心岁月》首次亮相。此空考查非谓语,the anthem与intend是被动关系,再由语境可知,应用过去分词作定语,故填intended。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:包括香港居民、他们的子女以及毕业生团体在内的100多名代表共同参与了这首歌的演唱。More than 100后接可数名词复数,representative的复数形式为representatives。故填representatives。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:包括香港居民、他们的子女以及毕业生团体在内的100多名代表共同参与了这首歌的演唱。这里考查join to do sth.,为固定搭配,意为“参与做某事”。故填to perform。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:沪港协会负责人强调,此次活动对促进两地青年文化交流、增进友谊具有重要意义。分析句子结构可知,foster与strengthen并列作介词in的宾语,所以应用动名词形式。故填strengthening。

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。
“This Saturday, we’ll be visiting cats at the animal shelter. If you’d like to join us, here’s an application form”, said Ms. Delgado, the school librarian who had held the reading engagement event for students.
Ben loved cats and he had always wanted one, so he hurried to take an application form. Then Ms. Delgado added, “We’ll be reading to the cats and award readers who make most progress.” Ben stopped. Reading al oud can be a challenging task. Ben might feel his heart racing, his palms sweating, and his voice shaking as he read. He might stumble over words or lose his place in the text. He might feel like everyone was watching him and judging him. Still, he really wanted to visit the cats, so he took an application form anyway.
On Saturday, Ben arrived at the shelter with some of his classmates. “This is Max,” the shelter worker told Ben as she handed him a gray cat. Ben carried Max to a beanbag chair and sat down. Max settled onto his lap. He took a book he’d been working on and started reading. Max, very different from other cats walking around the room while the kids read, purred (发出呼噜声) on his lap as if he had understood what Ben read.
“I’m glad Max is staying and listening to my reading and he is the best cat ever,” Ben told Dad excitedly. “I’m glad you two are friends,” Dad said. All week, Ben’s heart was filled with anxiety as he waited for Saturday to arrive. He was eager to read to Max and the anticipation of spending time with his feline (猫咪的) friend made him restless and nervous. When it arrived, Ben got to read to Max again.
“What if someone adopts Max?” Ben asked Dad later. “I guess you’d read to a different cat,” Dad said. “But I don’t want a different cat. I wish we could adopt Max,” Ben said to Dad. He knew they couldn’t because Mom had allergies (过敏). Ben loved the cat so much that he even told his next-door neighbor, Mrs. Patel, about Max. “Max sounds like a special cat,” said Mrs. Patel.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150左右;

Week by week, Ben realized that reading seemed easier with Max’s company.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
But on Saturday, Ben couldn’t find Max at the shelter.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Week by week, Ben realized that reading seemed easier with Max’s company. The presence of the gray cat made him feel more relaxed and comfortable. He noticed that Max’s purring had a calming effect on him, allowing him to focus better on the words in front of him. Ben was amazed by how much he enjoyed reading aloud to Max. Still, he was surprised when Ms. Delgado gave him the Most Improved Reader award. Ben felt a sense of pride and accomplishment as he held the certificate in his hands. He couldn’t wait to show it to Max.
But on Saturday, Ben couldn’t find Max at the shelter. He looked around the room, hoping to catch a glimpse of his feline friend. However, Max was nowhere to be found. Ben’s heart sank as he realized that someone might have adopted Max. Just then, Mrs. Patel walked into the visitors’ room, carrying Max. “I’m adopting him,” Mrs. Patel said. “You can come over every day to read to him.” Hearing what Mrs. Patel said, Ben jumped with excitement and threw his arms around Mrs. Patel. Of course, he didn’t forget to hug Max tightly who gave a contented purr.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Ben去动物收容所时,给一只名叫Max的猫读书,发现它好像听得懂似得,于是Ben提出想收养Max,但他妈妈有过敏症。他甚至告诉了他的邻居Patel太太关于Max的事。一周又一周,Ben意识到有了Max的陪伴,读书似乎变得更容易了,Ben还被老师授予“最进步读者奖”。Ben想去收容所告诉Max得奖的事情,却得知Max被收养了,结果原来是邻居Patel太太收养了Max。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“一周又一周,本意识到有马克斯的陪伴读书似乎更容易了。”可知,第一段可描写Ben在Max的陪伴下,朗读能力获得很大的提升,并获得老师的奖励。
②由第二段首句内容“但是星期六,本在收容所找不到马克斯。”可知,第二段可描写Ben找不到Max的感受,以及最后知道Patel太太收养了Max后的反应。
2. 续写线索:老师安排去给猫读书——遇到Max——想收养Max但是不行——发现自己在Max陪伴下朗读能力提高——获得进步奖——想告诉Max——Max不见了——得知Max被Patel收养——高兴。
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①注意到:notice/perceive/note
②集中注意力:focus on/concentrate on/throw oneself into
③走近:walk into/ step into
情绪类
①惊讶的:amazed/surprised/astounded。
②兴奋:excitement/enthusiasm/thrill
【点睛】[高分句型1]He noticed that Max’s purring had a calming effect on him, allowing him to focus better on the words in front of him. (that引导宾语从句)
[高分句型2]Of course, he didn’t forget to hug Max tightly who gave a contented purr. (who引导的定语从句)
