Let’s take a look at four incredible people who have overcome life’s toughest obstacles to make unbelievable achievements.
Lily Rice
Lily Rice was born in Wales with a special disease, which causes her leg muscles to be weak. As an Olympic swimmer, she became the first European female to land a wheelchair backflip (后空翻). She practiced for 6 hours a day, with some big falls before landing the backflip on a ramp (斜坡). Lily hopes to inspire other teenage girls to take up BMX riding and skateboarding.
Krystal Cantu
28-year-old Krystal Cantu, an enthusiastic fitness trainer, lost her right arm in a horrible car accident in 2013 when she was driving outside of San Antonio, Texas. Amazingly, the accident did nothing to her passion. She says the accident was the best thing that could have happened to her, and that so much good has come from it. She has broken all her personal weightlifting records that she set when she had two arms.
Angela Bachiller
Angela Bachiller is Spain’s first city official with Down syndrome (唐氏综合征).

Grace Sun, a 16 junior at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School, earned the top prize in the 2024 Regeneron International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF), which drew nearly 2,000 students from all over the world. Society for Science presented Sun $ 75,000 honor for the Innovator Award, which goes to the best first-place project based on the outstanding and innovative research as well as the potential impact of her work.
Sun’s research was on building a better organic electrochemical transistor (有机电化学晶体管) that she hopes will be used to develop new electronic devices that could help detect and treat serious illnesses. To overcome the problems that have previously prevented such devices from working well inside the body, Sun developed a new way of treating their organic components (有机成分), which greatly improved their laboratory performance.
Sun’s achievement at the ISEF competition is the evidence to the quality and significance of her research. According to Ian Jandrell, a judging co-chair from Society for Science, Sun’s project stood out as “the number one project, without a doubt.” The judges were impressed by her highly skilled work as well as her ability to accurately practice the research method.
While Sun’s success at such a young age is remarkable, it is the result of months of effort and countless hours spent in the lab at the University of Kentucky. Sun’s passion for chemical (化学的) engineering and her desire to make a real impact on medicine are clear. “Hopefully I can make some sort of commercializable breakthrough, like what I’m trying to do now with these devices,” she said. “If possible, I do want to start a business so that I can get them into the real world in industries to impact more people directly.”
In Grace Sun, the scientific community has seen the rising of a promising young talent with the potential to shape the future of biomedical (生物医学的) engineering.
4. What is the main function of Grace Sun’s invention?
A. To control new medical equipment. B. To improve devices for detecting diseases.
C. To prevent disease in the laboratory. D. To analyze the nature of various diseases.

Against huge odds, Shikuku Ooko is fighting to save the last remaining ancient forest. When he was in his early 20s, Shikuku Ooko was deeply taken with the Afro-Alpine forests of central Kenya. So much so that he decided to buy 15 acres of woods next to Mount Kenya National Park & Reserve. More than 30 years later Mr. Ooko’s home is one of the few plots still filled with native trees and plants. In contrast, much of the national park has been heavily logged.
The Mount Kenya region is remote and delicate, which makes it difficult to safeguard. Though the Kenya Forest Service has made sustainably managing all public forest plantations its second priority, the burden of conservation has fallen on the shoulders of local individuals such as Mr. Ooko.
In recent years, herders (牧民) have even built animal pens within legally protected areas. “It’s a bit of an annoying sight,” Mr. Ooko says, “when foreign visitors have to pay a high fee to enter the park but then come across huge herds of sheep and cattle in the delicate environment. The laws protecting that environment are in place, but they are insufficiently enforced because rangers (护林员) at each gate are limited.”.
When he’s at home in Naro Moru, Mr. Ooko advocates for tree planting, particularly among kids. “It’s something I grew up doing,” he explains. “When I was young, my dad would give all of us 10young trees to plant and take care of. Somehow, he knew the connections between trees and climate changes.”
It’s a practice Mr. Ooko has kept alive despite continuous challenges with climate and cattle; it is not uncommon for sheep and cattle to destroy the young trees that he and his young friends have planted. “We just keep going,” he says. “It’s something I value, and I think we should plant more.”
8. What can we know about Mr. Ooko’s woods?
A. They were purchased 20 years ago. B. They suffer from heavy logging.
C. They have conserved much wildlife. D. They have been well protected.
9. Why are the laws insufficiently enforced according to Mr. Ooko?
A. Because herders need to save cattle. B. Because herders need wood for fire.
C. Because there are too many visitors. D. Because there aren’t enough rangers.
10. What can we infer about Mr. Ooko according to the passage?
A. He never raises sheep and cattle. B. He was influenced by his father.
C. He donated his woods to the park. D. He has made a fortune by planting.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Challenges from Climate Changes B. The Introduction to Mount Kenya Park
C. The Fight to Save Mount Kenya’s Forests D. The Connection between People and Nature
D
Preventing the illegal hunting of any creature is hard, especially when relatively small numbers of park staff are often responsible for patrolling (巡逻) large areas. So researchers at the Institute of Subtropical Biology (ISB) and park-staff in Iguazú National Park of Argentina have been exploring new means of predicting where poachers (偷猎者) might strike — and they are turning to new kinds of mapping technology for help.
In recent years, the staff of the Park have used satellite phones, along with the Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool (SMART) for position analysis. But SMART technology is only as helpful as the data available to inform it. “The whole operational situation improved a lot, but the reality is that we are still faced with a high number of hunters,” says Bellonì, a staff of the Park. Environmentalists in Iguazú are thus constantly on the lookout for new ways to map and predict poaching hot spots.
One additional mapping tool could be based on audio (音频). For seven months from August 2018, researchers from ISB used audio monitoring methods to map poaching hot spots inside the Park. The study covered an extremely large 4,637 sq km area and, by situating the automatic recorders high on trees out of sight of poachers, the research team were able to record gunshot sounds up to 2km away from each location.
After seven months, they had recorded gunshots at 43 sites out of 90, with a range of 1 to 68 shots per site. The researchers then used this information to produce a predictive map of poaching activity. They also validated their model with field trips to look for physical evidence, such as bullet shells and cut plants, and showed that the predictive map was 82% reliable (可靠的), says Julia Martinez Pardo, the lead author of the study.
The practical application of this system could, in future, further help the efficiency of patrolling. By cross-referencing the audio monitoring data with the existing patrol routes, the park staff could establish whether their current tours match with the places with greatest gunshot activity. If the maps don’t match, then the patrols could be changed.
12. What is the researchers’ purpose of working with park-staff in Iguazú National Park?
A. To forecast poachers’ movements. B. To study creatures in the forest.
C. To create new SMART technology. D. To find evidence of illegal activities.
13. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. SMART technology is ineffective without available data.
B. SMART technology has been completely given up.
C. Audio monitoring methods have been widely used.
D. Loud sounds can drive away the hunters.
14. What does the underlined word “validated” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Defined. B. Proved. C. Maintained. D. Suited.
15. How will the new system help the park’s patrolling staff?
A. By upgrading their working equipment. B. By telling them when to start their patrols.
C. By providing them with different patrol routes. D. By showing them whether to change patrol routes.

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。
My son Tom was about to go to college. He wanted to leave home and be independent. However, I was worried that he might not take good care of himself when I wasn’t around.
One day, my wife, Lisa, found two lonely, hungry raccoon (浣熊) babies in the woods and brought them home. I didn’t like them, but I knew I had to take care of them. I cleaned them, made a bed for them, and fed them. The next morning, they woke up shortly after Lisa left for work. I had my own work to do — writing books at home. “Will you feed them?” I asked Tom. “Sorry, I’m late for school,” he replied.
Later, I asked an expert about raising raccoon babies. “The goal is to take care of them until they can go back to the woods and take care of themselves. This fall, they’ll be old enough to be on their own,” he said. After that, I became a day-care “mom” for them and named them Bob and Billy. Soon, they could eat bananas. When July came, I built a cage and moved them outdoors.
When they adapted well, Tom suggested we let them explore the woods and look for food. “What if they get lost or hurt?” I said. “They need to get used to being on their own,” Tom insisted. We left their door open so they could wander during the day. At night, we called them home by hitting their food bowls.
Still, I was worried. One afternoon, in the yard, I saw Bob standing on a tree, eating bananas. “Be careful,” I called, rushing for a ladder. “Let him go,” Tom said. “He’s on an adventure. Don’t affect his fun. Your worry will cost him his survival skills.”
When September came, the raccoons were six-pound creatures with ringed tails. One evening, they didn’t come home. Tom laughed at my concern. The next morning, they returned, looking healthy and happy.
Near the end of September, they were missing for a week. I thought they were probably gone forever. “It’s a mistake to hold on to anything that no longer needs you,” Lisa said. “What if they’re in trouble?” I worried.
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。
Weeks later, Lisa, Tom, and I were in the yard
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Hey, Tom, should we get Bob a banana?” I asked, but Tom shook his head and said, “No!”

Against huge odds, Shikuku Ooko is fighting to save the last remaining ancient forest. When he was in his early 20s, Shikuku Ooko was deeply taken with the Afro-Alpine forests of central Kenya. So much so that he decided to buy 15 acres of woods next to Mount Kenya National Park & Reserve. More than 30 years later Mr. Ooko’s home is one of the few plots still filled with native trees and plants. In contrast, much of the national park has been heavily logged.
The Mount Kenya region is remote and delicate, which makes it difficult to safeguard. Though the Kenya Forest Service has made sustainably managing all public forest plantations its second priority, the burden of conservation has fallen on the shoulders of local individuals such as Mr. Ooko.
In recent years, herders (牧民) have even built animal pens within legally protected areas. “It’s a bit of an annoying sight,” Mr. Ooko says, “when foreign visitors have to pay a high fee to enter the park but then come across huge herds of sheep and cattle in the delicate environment. The laws protecting that environment are in place, but they are insufficiently enforced because rangers (护林员) at each gate are limited.”.
When he’s at home in Naro Moru, Mr. Ooko advocates for tree planting, particularly among kids. “It’s something I grew up doing,” he explains. “When I was young, my dad would give all of us 10young trees to plant and take care of. Somehow, he knew the connections between trees and climate changes.”
It’s a practice Mr. Ooko has kept alive despite continuous challenges with climate and cattle; it is not uncommon for sheep and cattle to destroy the young trees that he and his young friends have planted. “We just keep going,” he says. “It’s something I value, and I think we should plant more.”
8. What can we know about Mr. Ooko’s woods?
A. They were purchased 20 years ago. B. They suffer from heavy logging.
C. They have conserved much wildlife. D. They have been well protected.
9. Why are the laws insufficiently enforced according to Mr. Ooko?
A. Because herders need to save cattle. B. Because herders need wood for fire.
C. Because there are too many visitors. D. Because there aren’t enough rangers.
10. What can we infer about Mr. Ooko according to the passage?
A. He never raises sheep and cattle. B. He was influenced by his father.
C. He donated his woods to the park. D. He has made a fortune by planting.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Challenges from Climate Changes B. The Introduction to Mount Kenya Park
C. The Fight to Save Mount Kenya’s Forests D. The Connection between People and Nature
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了在巨大的困难下,Shikuku Ooko正在努力拯救仅存的古老森林。

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The laws protecting that environment are in place, but they are insufficiently enforced because rangers (护林员) at each gate are limited.(保护环境的法律已经到位,但执行力度不够,因为每个大门的护林员数量有限。)”可知,由于没有足够的护林员,这些法律的执行力度不够。故选D。

Preventing the illegal hunting of any creature is hard, especially when relatively small numbers of park staff are often responsible for patrolling (巡逻) large areas. So researchers at the Institute of Subtropical Biology (ISB) and park-staff in Iguazú National Park of Argentina have been exploring new means of predicting where poachers (偷猎者) might strike — and they are turning to new kinds of mapping technology for help.
In recent years, the staff of the Park have used satellite phones, along with the Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool (SMART) for position analysis. But SMART technology is only as helpful as the data available to inform it. “The whole operational situation improved a lot, but the reality is that we are still faced with a high number of hunters,” says Bellonì, a staff of the Park. Environmentalists in Iguazú are thus constantly on the lookout for new ways to map and predict poaching hot spots.
One additional mapping tool could be based on audio (音频). For seven months from August 2018, researchers from ISB used audio monitoring methods to map poaching hot spots inside the Park. The study covered an extremely large 4,637 sq km area and, by situating the automatic recorders high on trees out of sight of poachers, the research team were able to record gunshot sounds up to 2km away from each location.
After seven months, they had recorded gunshots at 43 sites out of 90, with a range of 1 to 68 shots per site. The researchers then used this information to produce a predictive map of poaching activity. They also validated their model with field trips to look for physical evidence, such as bullet shells and cut plants, and showed that the predictive map was 82% reliable (可靠的), says Julia Martinez Pardo, the lead author of the study.
The practical application of this system could, in future, further help the efficiency of patrolling. By cross-referencing the audio monitoring data with the existing patrol routes, the park staff could establish whether their current tours match with the places with greatest gunshot activity. If the maps don’t match, then the patrols could be changed.
12. What is the researchers’ purpose of working with park-staff in Iguazú National Park?
A. To forecast poachers’ movements. B. To study creatures in the forest.
C. To create new SMART technology. D. To find evidence of illegal activities.
13. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. SMART technology is ineffective without available data.
B. SMART technology has been completely given up.
C. Audio monitoring methods have been widely used.
D. Loud sounds can drive away the hunters.
14. What does the underlined word “validated” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Defined. B. Proved. C. Maintained. D. Suited.
15. How will the new system help the park’s patrolling staff?
A. By upgrading their working equipment. B. By telling them when to start their patrols.
C. By providing them with different patrol routes. D. By showing them whether to change patrol routes.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. D

词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“look for physical evidence, such as bullet shells and cut plants, and showed that the predictive map was 82% reliable(寻找实物证据,如子弹壳和被砍伐的植物,并表明预测地图的可靠性为82%)”可知,划线词所在句子表示“他们还通过实地考察寻找实物证据,如子弹壳和被砍伐的植物,来验证他们的模型”,划线词validated的意思是“验证,证明”,和proved意思相近。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“By cross-referencing the audio monitoring data with the existing patrol routes, the park staff could establish whether their current tours match with the places with greatest gunshot activity. If the maps don’t match, then the patrols could be changed.(通过将音频监测数据与现有的巡逻路线进行交叉比对,公园工作人员可以确定他们当前的巡逻路线是否与枪声活动最频繁的区域相匹配。如果地图不匹配,那么就可以调整巡逻路线。)”可知,新系统通过告诉他们是否要改变巡逻路线来帮助公园的巡逻人员。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国科学技术大学研发的一款具有高灵活性的仿生假手及其特点和应用。
【36题详解】
考查时态。句意:最近,中国科学技术大学的一个研究小组推出了一款具有高灵活性的突破性仿生假手,它可以梳头、操作智能手机,甚至可以做出复杂的手语手势。根据Recently可知,句子时态为现在完成时,主语为第三人称单数,助动词用has。故填has introduced。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:人类的手有23个自由度——它能进行的独立运动的数量,尽管重量只有体重的1/150,但它却为身体54%的功能运动做出了贡献。本句谓语为is,此处为非谓语动词,且The human hand与contribute“贡献”为主谓关系,所以用现在分词,作状语。故填contributing。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:传统的假手通常由电机驱动,很难平衡重量和功能。本句谓语为struggle,此处为非谓语动词,hands与power“驱动”为被动关系,用过去分词 powered作定语。故填powered。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:它们中的大多数重量超过0.4公斤,这会导致不适,并限制它们执行复杂任务的能力。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为Most of them,指物,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:USTC团队通过使用形状记忆合金——一种能够记住原始形状并在加热时恢复原状的材料——作为人造肌肉来解决这些挑战。根据句意和句子结构,表示“作为”用介词as,和后文名词构成短语。故填as。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:结合传动系统,这种创新的方法增强了驱动力,同时减少了阻力。本空为reducing的宾语,用名词resistance“阻力”。故填resistance。
【42题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:此外,USTC的仿生手还集成了语音识别技术,支持60种语言,准确率高达95%。句子陈述一般事实,时态用一般现在时,主语the USTC prosthetic hand与integrate“(使)合并,成为一体”为被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为第三人称单数,be动词用is。故填is integrated。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在临床测试中,一名老年参与者在半天内就掌握了该设备,并成功完成了测试中的任务。此处为泛指“一名老年参与者”,且elderly是发音以元音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词an。故填an。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意同上。空处修饰动词completing,应用副词successfully“成功地”,作状语。故填successfully。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它的高适应性为多个领域开辟了广泛的实际应用,包括在核电站维护、深海设备维修和家庭服务等危险环境中的专业操作。空处修饰名词operations,应用形容词professional“专业的”,作定语。故填professional。

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。
My son Tom was about to go to college. He wanted to leave home and be independent. However, I was worried that he might not take good care of himself when I wasn’t around.
One day, my wife, Lisa, found two lonely, hungry raccoon (浣熊) babies in the woods and brought them home. I didn’t like them, but I knew I had to take care of them. I cleaned them, made a bed for them, and fed them. The next morning, they woke up shortly after Lisa left for work. I had my own work to do — writing books at home. “Will you feed them?” I asked Tom. “Sorry, I’m late for school,” he replied.
Later, I asked an expert about raising raccoon babies. “The goal is to take care of them until they can go back to the woods and take care of themselves. This fall, they’ll be old enough to be on their own,” he said. After that, I became a day-care “mom” for them and named them Bob and Billy. Soon, they could eat bananas. When July came, I built a cage and moved them outdoors.
When they adapted well, Tom suggested we let them explore the woods and look for food. “What if they get lost or hurt?” I said. “They need to get used to being on their own,” Tom insisted. We left their door open so they could wander during the day. At night, we called them home by hitting their food bowls.
Still, I was worried. One afternoon, in the yard, I saw Bob standing on a tree, eating bananas. “Be careful,” I called, rushing for a ladder. “Let him go,” Tom said. “He’s on an adventure. Don’t affect his fun. Your worry will cost him his survival skills.”
When September came, the raccoons were six-pound creatures with ringed tails. One evening, they didn’t come home. Tom laughed at my concern. The next morning, they returned, looking healthy and happy.
Near the end of September they were missing for a week. I thought they were probably gone forever. “It’s a mistake to hold on to anything that no longer needs you,” Lisa said. “What if they’re in trouble?” I worried.
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。
Weeks later, Lisa, Tom, and I were in the yard
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Hey, Tom, should we get Bob a banana?” I asked, but Tom shook his head and said, “No!”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Weeks later, Lisa, Tom, and I were in the yard preparing to plant some flowers. Suddenly, a familiar ringed tail popped out from behind the maple tree — Bob! He trotted over, followed by Billy, both carrying small branches in their mouths as if showing off their finds. My heart leaped; I’d almost forgotten how soft their fur felt. They nuzzled my hand lightly before darting to the bird feeder, quick and agile, nothing like the tiny, helpless babies we’d rescued months ago.
“Hey, Tom, should we get Bob a banana?” I asked, but Tom shook his head and said, “No!” He nodded at Bob, who was already climbing the feeder to grab a sunflower seed. “See? He doesn’t need our bananas anymore. He’s learned to feed himself.” I watched Bob crack the seed with his paws, a skill he’d never had when we fed him by hand. For the first time, I understood — letting go wasn’t losing, but letting them grow. Just like Tom, soon to leave for college, he’d find his way too. I smiled, feeling the worry in my chest melt away.
【解析】
【导语】本文以动物为线索展开,讲述了作者担心儿子汤姆会去上大学,可能无法照顾自己。然后这个家庭养了两只浣熊。虽然作者担心浣熊的安全,但浣熊逐渐独立了。最后,作者明白了放手,意识到汤姆也会处理好大学生活。
