阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Women scientists around the world have made significant contributions to Stem (science, technology, engineering, and maths). Here are four who pushed boundaries and changed the world.
Wu Chienshiung (1912—1997)
Bon in Taicang, Jiangsu province, Wu took part in the Manhattan Project which helped create the world’s first nuclear weapon. Her famous Wu experiment overturned the theory of parity (宇称理论) in physics. This breakthrough led to a Nobel Prize that was awarded to her male colleagues, but Wu’s critical role in the work was overlooked.
Hedy Lamarr (1914—2000)
Austria-born Lamarr starred in a lot of Hollywood films and made great success. She was also super smart and a self-taught inventor. During the second world war, Lamarr together with George Antheil, a composer, developed a radio guidance system. The principle of their work is part of the basis of Bluetooth and wireless technology.
Katherine Johns (1918—2020)
African American NASA mathematician Johnson’s calculations were critical in getting the first US astronauts to space and back safely. During her 33-year career at NASA, Katherine earned a reputation for mastering complex calculations and was referred to as a “human computer”.
Tu Youyou (1930—)
Born in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, Tu shared the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with two other foreign scientists, for her work in discovering artemisinin, a drug used to treat malaria (疟疾). Her work has saved millions of lives all over the world. Tu is the first Chinese Nobel winner in physiology or medicine and the first female citizen of the PRC to win a Nobel Prize.

On the morning of April 20th, I woke up in a panic (恐慌), thinking it was 6 am, but in reality, it was still 3 am. I had a vivid dream where I had overslept. This kind of dream often occurred before important events. Even though I knew I was well-prepared, I couldn’t shake off the worry. After a restless sleep filled with more anxious dreams, my alarm finally went off.
I met my friend Jenny and we took an Uber to the race site. The first half marathon was unknown to us. The race began, and we navigated (穿过) through a lush forest. We celebrated each mile, but after some tough uphill sections, I began to worry about making it through. As we approached the halfway point, we were cheered on by other runners, which encouraged us further. The downhill journey back was amazing, and we cruised through the second half, deciding to hold hands and cross the finish line together. To our surprise, we won our age and gender group!
After the race, we were overjoyed but faced a minor problem — no cellphone service to call an Uber back. Luckily, we met Lisa, Amy, and Robin, fellow runners who offered us a ride. During the car ride, we shared stories about running and life. They inspired me with their passion for running and traveling the world. I loved how running was a universal language that connected people with shared goals of being outdoors and meeting new people. Their attitudes showed me that adulthood could be full of surprises and joy.
The half marathon has taught me that the best experiences do not come from the familiar and safe. I’ve realized that I’ll be able to overcome many other unknown challenges of adulthood. I don’t know what they are yet, but my new friends have shown me that adulthood has many beautiful surprises waiting. I can’t wait to see what the next 13.1miles of life will bring.

If you’re reading this in bed on your phone you’re not alone. Many people use their phones before and after bedtime, especially young adults and teens. Still, you might want to stop soon. Using screens before bed or in bed is believed to disrupt sleep, although the exact reasons are not completely clear.
In a new study, researchers looked into this issue by using data from a large survey of 45, 202 university students in Norway. They found that using screens in bed is linked to a 59 percent higher chance of insomnia (失眠) and can result in 24 minutes less sleep each night.
“Sleep problems are very common among students and have serious effects on mental health, school performance, and overall well-being,” says Gunnhild Johnsen Hjetland, a clinical psychologist at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. “Because so many people use screens in bed, we wanted to see how different screen activities affect sleep. We thought social media might be worse for sleep because it is interactive (互动的) and can motivate (激发) emotions.”
However, the study found that using social media is no worse for sleep than other screen activities. The type of screen activity doesn’t matter as much as the total time spent using screens in bed. The researchers found no significant differences between social media and other screen activities. This suggests that using screens in general is the main cause of sleep problems, likely because it takes up time that could be used for resting.
“If you have trouble sleeping and think screen time might be a cause, try to reduce the use of screen in bed, and stop using screens at least 30 to 60 minutes before sleep,” says Hjetland. “If you use screens, consider turning off notifications (通知) to reduce disruptions during the night.”
12. How does the author begin the argument?
A. By listing different opinions.
B. By referring to scientific data.
C. By mentioning a common act.
D. By analyzing cause and effect.
13. Why did researchers initially guess social media could affect sleep more?
A. It included emotional inspiration.
B It contained violent content.
C. It was entirely used by students.
D. It required frequent physical interaction.
14. Which is the practical advice Hjetland provides?
A. Reading e-books instead of social media.
B. Avoiding using screen for a while before bed.
C. Increasing daytime physical activity.
D. Stopping using screens after supper.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Screen Time in Bed May Increase Sleeplessness
B. Good Sleep Is Key to Students’ Performance
C. Social Media Has the Worst Effect on Mental Health
D. Reading on Phones Is Common Among Teens and Young Adults

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。
Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day, Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let's go and see!”
“No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with (插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don't want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward (懦夫), and afraid to go,” said Robert, and he ran. Henry went straight home and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together. Henry was sad but he wasn't angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored (忽视) the other boys' laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn't invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Everyday after school, they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.

After the race we were overjoyed but faced a minor problem — no cellphone service to call an Uber back. Luckily, we met Lisa, Amy, and Robin, fellow runners who offered us a ride. During the car ride, we shared stories about running and life. They inspired me with their passion for running and traveling the world. I loved how running was a universal language that connected people with shared goals of being outdoors and meeting new people. Their attitudes showed me that adulthood could be full of surprises and joy.
The half marathon has taught me that the best experiences do not come from the familiar and safe. I’ve realized that I’ll be able to overcome many other unknown challenges of adulthood. I don’t know what they are yet, but my new friends have shown me that adulthood has many beautiful surprises waiting. I can’t wait to see what the next 13.1miles of life will bring.

If you’re reading this in bed on your phone, you’re not alone. Many people use their phones before and after bedtime, especially young adults and teens. Still, you might want to stop soon. Using screens before bed or in bed is believed to disrupt sleep, although the exact reasons are not completely clear.
In a new study, researchers looked into this issue by using data from a large survey of 45, 202 university students in Norway. They found that using screens in bed is linked to a 59 percent higher chance of insomnia (失眠) and can result in 24 minutes less sleep each night.
“Sleep problems are very common among students and have serious effects on mental health, school performance, and overall well-being,” says Gunnhild Johnsen Hjetland, a clinical psychologist at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. “Because so many people use screens in bed, we wanted to see how different screen activities affect sleep. We thought social media might be worse for sleep because it is interactive (互动的) and can motivate (激发) emotions.”
However, the study found that using social media is no worse for sleep than other screen activities. The type of screen activity doesn’t matter as much as the total time spent using screens in bed. The researchers found no significant differences between social media and other screen activities. This suggests that using screens in general is the main cause of sleep problems, likely because it takes up time that could be used for resting.
“If you have trouble sleeping and think screen time might be a cause, try to reduce the use of screen in bed, and stop using screens at least 30 to 60 minutes before sleep,” says Hjetland. “If you use screens, consider turning off notifications (通知) to reduce disruptions during the night.”
12. How does the author begin the argument?
A. By listing different opinions.
B. By referring to scientific data.
C. By mentioning a common act.
D. By analyzing cause and effect.
13. Why did researchers initially guess social media could affect sleep more?
A. It included emotional inspiration.
B. It contained violent content.
C. It was entirely used by students.
D. It required frequent physical interaction.
14. Which is the practical advice Hjetland provides?
A. Reading e-books instead of social media.
B. Avoiding using screen for a while before bed.
C. Increasing daytime physical activity.
D. Stopping using screens after supper.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Screen Time in Bed May Increase Sleeplessness
B. Good Sleep Is Key to Students’ Performance
C. Social Media Has the Worst Effect on Mental Health
D. Reading on Phones Is Common Among Teens and Young Adults
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第一段首句“If you’re reading this in bed on your phone, you’re not alone. (如果你正在床上用手机阅读本文,你并不孤单。)”可知,作者通过描述一种普遍行为(睡前使用手机)引入话题。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段Gunnhild Johnsen Hjetland的观点“We thought social media might be worse for sleep because it is interactive and can motivate emotions. (我们认为社交媒体可能对睡眠更不利,因为它是互动的,可能激发情绪。)”可知,研究人员最初猜测社交媒体影响更大是因为其包含情感激发(emotional inspiration)。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段Hjetland的建议“try to reduce the use of screen in bed, and stop using screens at least 30 to 60 minutes before sleep (减少床上使用屏幕的时间,睡前至少30-60分钟停止使用)”可知,实用建议是睡前一段时间避免使用屏幕。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。全文围绕“床上使用屏幕”与“睡眠问题”的关联展开,重点说明屏幕使用时间(而非活动类型)是导致失眠的主因,尤其是第一段的“Using screens before bed or in bed is believed to disrupt sleep (睡前或在床上使用屏幕被认为会扰乱睡眠)”以及第二段的“They found that using screens in bed is linked to a 59 percent higher chance of insomnia (失眠) and can result in 24 minutes less sleep each night. (他们发现,在床上使用屏幕会使失眠的几率增加59%,并且会导致每晚睡眠时间减少24分钟。)”可知,A项“床上使用屏幕可能增加失眠”最贴合主题,适合作标题。故选A项。

考查冠词。句意:哈佛医学院的专家阿尔瓦罗·帕斯夸尔-莱昂内博士说,对某人重要的歌曲可以创造快乐的感觉,带回旧记忆,并传播快乐。expert为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,此处表示“一位专家”,为泛指,且expert是以元音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词an。故填an。

【40题详解】

【答案】
How Have We Been Changed by AI?
AI has greatly influenced our study and life. In study, AI tools like translation apps and learning platforms work as smart helpers, which help us access information faster and practice languages more effectively. In daily life, AI makes things much easier. For example, smart speakers play music on command, and delivery apps use AI to find fast routes.
However, we need to use AI wisely. Don’t depend on it for all study tasks. We should remember it’s only a tool, not a replacement for our own thinking. Also, protect personal information when using AI tools. Only by using AI properly can it truly benefit us.

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。
Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day, Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let's go and see!”
“No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with (插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don't want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward (懦夫), and afraid to go,” said Robert, and he ran. Henry went straight home and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together. Henry was sad but he wasn't angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored (忽视) the other boys' laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn't invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Everyday after school, they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.
注意:
1)所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2)续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Robert was fast sinking.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Thus, Robert’s life was saved.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Robert was fast sinking. It seemed as if Robert would be drowned only with his hands sticking out of the water. Just at the moment, Henry happened to be passing by. Hearing the screams, Henry ran quickly to the riverside, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water without hesitation. He reached Robert just as he was sinking at the last moment. By great effort, and with too much danger to himself, he brought Robert back to the shore.
Thus, Robert’s life was saved. Robert and his new friends were ashamed at having called Henry a coward. They realized that Robert had true courage. And it was Henry who was the true friend worth making. They said sorry to Henry for their rude behavior and asked for his forgiveness. Henry forgave them happily. He and Robert were friends again and they went home together as usual. From this, Robert learned what true courage was: never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil.
【解析】
【导语】本文以时间为线索展开。罗伯特和亨利原本是好朋友,但是因为亨利不同意和罗伯特一起去看别人打架,罗伯特认为亨利是一个懦夫,就疏远了他,并告诉别的朋友亨利是个懦夫。几天后罗伯特和新朋友们一起在河里洗澡时意外溺水,新朋友们没有人救他,这时恰好亨利经过,亨利毫不犹豫地把罗伯特救了上来,罗伯特才明白真正的勇气是永远不要害怕做好事,但永远害怕做坏事。
