A
National Parks are the best places to see raw nature in protected areas, where the wildlife is free and the history is kept alive properly, such is the case of all national parks in Australia.
The Booderee National Park
It offers a protected habitat (栖息地) for native wildlife against high cliffs and white beaches. While summer is good for visiting due to the excellent weather, a special event takes place in June and July when whales come back with their babies. Educational tours are fit for school groups to get close to nature. There are a range of activities such as camping, diving and nature walks.
The Norfolk Island National Park
The history of the Park is eye-catching, so you might want to check out how Captain James Cook got here and why. You can picnic and have a nice barbecue around the highest point on the island, Mount Bates. Another tourist attraction is Phillip Island, six kilometers away from Norfolk, home to many seabirds.
The Uluru National Park
If you’re into learning more about Aboriginals (土著居民) and their influence on the world, you mustn’t miss it, where Tjukurpa stories come from about native songs and dances. The rocks here are extremely loved because they seem to change color during sunrise and sunset. So the spot is also great for walking, considering the knowledge and stories on the rocks’ shapes and purpose for humans.
The Kakadu National Park
It has the longest historical records of Aboriginal people living there, which have been carved in the rock art made by Indigenous civilizations over the years. The Park has remarkable rivers and floodplains that go through the rich ecosystem. With more than 280 species of birds, 117 reptile species and 74 mammals, the park is a joy to the eye of the traveler.
1. What makes the Booderee National Park special?
A. Whales’ return. B. Nature walks. C. Wildlife habitat. D. Educational tours.
2. Where can you learn about Captain James Cook?
A. The Uluru National Park. B. The Kakadu National Park.
C. The Booderee National Park. D. The Norfolk Island National Park.
3. What do the Uluru National Park and the Kakadu National Park have in common?
A. Rock colors. B. Rock shapes. C. Native culture. D. Rich wildlife.
【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C

The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class. He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students’ perspectives, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one too.
“These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel bad about my age,” Valencia says.
One day, I spotted Valencia on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class.
Sure, I said. But he wouldn’t get any credit.
No problem, he said.
Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class.
A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework. “Here he is willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,”says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior. Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go.
There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s. At his current pace, he’ll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall. But that doesn’t seem especially relevant. He’s found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating. Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts(成绩单). But I’m giving him an A—and in the most important ways, it counts.
4. What made Valencia different from his classmates?
A. He was respectful to the teacher.
B. He activated the class atmosphere.
C. He was eager to learn despite his age.
D. He often put forward different opinions.
5. According to the author, why did Valencia continue to attend classes?
A. He treasured the chance of learning.
B. He wished to show his determination.
C. He needed the credits to further his study.
D. He desired to have an A on his transcripts.
6. Which of the following best describes Valencia?
A. Modest and independent. B. Energetic and generous.
C. Enthusiastic and motivated. D. Considerate and intelligent.
7. What can we learn from the passage?
A. No pains, no gains. B. It is never too old to learn.
C. Strike the iron while it is hot. D. Where there is life, there is hope.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B

At any given moment, millions of people suffer from undiagnosed (未确诊) health conditions—diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, or even early signs of neurological diseases—that could be detected earlier with better monitoring. In fact, the World Health Organization estimates that delayed diagnosis contributes to nearly 20% of preventable health complications (并发症). What if there was a way to continuously track key health markers without invasive blood tests or frequent doctor visits?
Researchers have developed a groundbreaking smart contact lens (隐形眼镜) that can analyze tears to monitor health in real time. Inspired by the natural composition of tears, the lens uses ultra-thin sensors to detect changes in these substances. Their waves can indicate dehydration, high blood sugar, or even signs of stress.
The new technology is built on a flexible hydrogel (水凝胶) equipped with biological sensors that react to specific biomarkers. When these substances interact with the sensors, the lens sends out light signals that can be captured by a smartphone camera. An accompanying app then translates these signals into easy-to-understand health data, warning the wearer if any levels fall outside the normal range. The hydrogel material is comfortable for extended wear and minimizes wear-related stress, making it suitable for daily use. Additionally, the lens is designed to maintain clear vision while performing its monitoring functions, ensuring no damage to the wearer’s sight.
In tests, the lenses successfully detected abnormal sugar levels in diabetic patients within seconds. When the smartphone app processes the light signals, it provides instant feedback, allowing users to take immediate action if necessary.
“While further clinical testing is needed before this technology can be widely adopted, our work represents a major step forward in non-invasive health monitoring,” said Dr. Elena Vasquez from Stanford University. “Future versions could integrate additional features, such as drug delivery for conditions like glaucoma, which will be a key focus of our next research phase. We are also exploring partnerships with healthcare providers to make this technology accessible to underserved populations.”
8. What does the author stress in paragraph 1?
A. The urgency for early detection of health issues.
B. The inefficiency of traditional diagnostic methods.
C. The growing burden of deadly diseases worldwide.
D. The high cost of monitoring people’s health condition.
9. Why is a hydrogel used in the smart contact lens?
A. To change the contact lens’ color. B. To replace the smartphone camera.
C. To store real-time health data. D. To ensure comfort and clear vision.
10. What is Dr. Elena Vasquez’s suggestion about?
A. The future plans of the research.
B. The limitations of future version.
C The challenges of producing the lenses.
D. The practical applications of the technology.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Tears Uncover Your Health Secret. B. Contact Lens cure Diseases.
C. Smart Lens detect Diseases Early. D. Hydrogel Improves Eyesight.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C

When you think of Chinese food in the US, fried rice, or General Tso’s chicken may first come to mind. But a new museum exhibition in New York City is trying to expand visitors’ palates (味蕾). It features stories of famous cooks like Martin Yan and home cooks whose food represents 18 different regional cooking styles of China.
“I think it’s unfair to just classify Chinese cooking as one,” says Kian Lam Kho, an organizer of “Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy: Stories of Chinese Food and Identity in America” at the Museum of Chinese in America. “Even with the same dish or same cuisine, every family has a different variation.” That’s why the organizers say if you want to taste the full range of Chinese cuisine in the US, you’ll need to go beyond restaurants and into home kitchens, which can play a central role in many immigrants’ lives.
“The kitchen itself is kind of a comfort when you come to a new country. That’s the one place where you set up as your home base, and you cook things that you remember from your past,” explains Audra Ang, another organizer.
One of the home cooks showcased in the exhibition is Ni Biying, 80, of Manhattan. She worked as a live-in babysitter for years before she could finally afford to rent a home with her own kitchen. These days, you can usually find her moving around her one-bedroom apartment as a sweet smell of vinegar and rice wine floats from her stove. For Ni, a small dinner for friends and family means preparing almost a dozen different dishes. She learned some of her techniques from her father, who made most of her family’s meals when she was a child. “I still miss the beef with stir-fried celery my father used to cook,” she says. And it’s the kind of comfort food that defines Chinese food for Ni.
12. What is the new museum exhibition mainly about?
A. Cuisine of different countries. B. Exploration of famous restaurants.
C. History of Chinese immigration. D. Stories of Chinese food and cooks.
13. Why does the kitchen play a key role in many immigrants’ lives?
A. It provides a wealthy life. B. It brings a sense of belonging.
C. It helps them to accept new cultures. D. It enables them to forget the past.
14. What can we learn about Ni Biying from Paragraph 4?
A. She worked in a Chinese restaurant.
B. She made most meals as a child.
C. She learned cooking from her father.
D She lives with a big family.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Cuisine Gains New Variations
B. Home Cooking Brings More to the Table
C. Immigrants Seek Their Fortune in the US
D. Chinese Restaurant Tells Immigrant Tales
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了纽约市一个新的博物馆展览。该展览讲述了中国食物和厨师的故事,介绍了厨房及家常菜在移民生活中起的关键作用,结合厨师Ni Biying的故事指出,家常菜为餐桌带来了更多乐趣。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“But a new museum exhibition in New York City is trying to expand visitors’ palates (味蕾). It features stories of famous cooks like Martin Yan and home cooks whose food represents 18 different regional cooking styles of China.(但在纽约市举行的一个新的博物馆展览正试图扩大游客的味蕾。它的特点是拥有马丁·燕等著名厨师和家庭厨师的故事,他们的食物代表了中国18不同的地区烹饪风格)”可知,新的博物馆展览主要与中国食物和厨师的故事有关。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段内容““The kitchen itself is kind of a comfort when you come to a new country. That’s the one place where you set up as your home base, and you cook things that you remember from your past,” explains Audra Ang, another organizer.(“当你来到一个新的国家时,厨房本身是一种安慰。那是你可以作为大本营的地方,你可以烹饪你记忆中的东西,” 另一个组织者奥郎解释说)”可知,厨房可以给许多移民带来归属感,这正是厨房在许多移民的生活中起着关键作用的原因所在。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“She learned some of her techniques from her father, who made most of her family’s meals when she was a child.(她从父亲那里学到了一些技巧,在她还是个孩子的时候,家里大部分的饭菜都是父亲做的)”可知,Ni Biying从她父亲那里学到了一些烹饪技巧。故选C
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一、二段介绍了纽约市一个新的博物馆展览活动的内容,该展览讲述了中食物和厨师的故事。第三段介绍了厨房在许多移民的生活中起关键作用的原因所在。最后一段结合厨师 NiBiying 的故事指出, 家常菜为餐桌带来了更多乐趣。由此可知,选项 B“家庭烹饪给餐桌带来更多”适合作本文标题。故选B。

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。中医并不为大多数西方人所认可。然而,这一切正开始有所改变。中医将被纳入世界卫生组织出版的国际疾病分类(ICD),这表明中医获得了主流的认可,将对全球产生重大影响,有助于中医发展。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:中医并没有得到大多数西方人的广泛支持。空处作状语修饰谓语动词,故要用所给词的副词形式。wide的副词形式有两种:wide和widely,前者表示“充分张开地”,后者表示“广泛地”,表示抽象意义。根据语境可知要用widely。故填widely。
【37题详解】

考查动词的时态和语态。根据时间状语“in the near future”和上文的will be可知,此处也要用一般将来时;又bring out与主语是被动关系,此处表示“被出版”,故要用一般将来时的被动语态。注意bring的过去分词形式。故填will be brought。
【39题详解】
考查序数词。句意:这是中医首次作为疾病与健康状况的国际标准被纳入国际疾病分类。此处表示“第一次”,故用序数词。故填first。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国一直努力向海外推广中医。分析句子结构可知,此处要用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to promote。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:据新华社报道,在过去的三年中,中国在海外建立了26家中医中心。空处作后置定语修饰report,report与publish之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,且非谓语动作已经完成,故用过去分词作后置定语,表示被动和完成。故填published。
42题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意:2015年,中国科学家屠呦呦因发现能够治愈疟疾的药物而被授予诺贝尔生理学或医学奖。由时间状语“In 2015”可知,此处应用一般过去时。故填won。
【43题详解】
考查主语从句的连接词。句意:据报道,很多外国名人都用中医。分析句子结构可知,本句是“It is reported that ... ”句型,表示“据报道……”,其中It是形式主语,that引导的从句是真正的主语。故填that。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:比如,2016年里约夏季奥运会期间,有人发现美国游泳运动员迈克尔·菲尔普斯使用火罐。空处表示“游泳运动员”,且空前有限定词,应该用名词swimmer,根据句意用单数。故填swimmer。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:火罐是一种在中国有两千多年历史的传统中医疗法。根据语境可知,此处应用for与时间段连用,该时间状语常与现在完成时连用。故填for。

第一部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
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
National Parks are the best places to see raw nature in protected areas, where the wildlife is free and the history is kept alive properly, such is the case of all national parks in Australia.
The Booderee National Park
It offers a protected habitat (栖息地) for native wildlife against high cliffs and white beaches. While summer is good for visiting due to the excellent weather, a special event takes place in June and July when whales come back with their babies. Educational tours are fit for school groups to get close to nature. There are a range of activities such as camping, diving and nature walks.
The Norfolk Island National Park
The history of the Park is eye-catching, so you might want to check out how Captain James Cook got here and why. You can picnic and have a nice barbecue around the highest point on the island, Mount Bates. Another tourist attraction is Phillip Island, six kilometers away from Norfolk, home to many seabirds.
The Uluru National Park
If you’re into learning more about Aboriginals (土著居民) and their influence on the world, you mustn’t miss it, where Tjukurpa stories come from about native songs and dances. The rocks here are extremely loved because they seem to change color during sunrise and sunset. So the spot is also great for walking, considering the knowledge and stories on the rocks’ shapes and purpose for humans.
The Kakadu National Park
It has the longest historical records of Aboriginal people living there, which have been carved in the rock art made by Indigenous civilizations over the years. The Park has remarkable rivers and floodplains that go through the rich ecosystem. With more than 280 species of birds, 117 reptile species and 74 mammals, the park is a joy to the eye of the traveler.
1. What makes the Booderee National Park special?
A. Whales’ return. B. Nature walks. C. Wildlife habitat. D. Educational tours.
2. Where can you learn about Captain James Cook?
A. The Uluru National Park. B. The Kakadu National Park.
C. The Booderee National Park. D. The Norfolk Island National Park.
3. What do the Uluru National Park and the Kakadu National Park have in common?
A. Rock colors. B. Rock shapes. C. Native culture. D. Rich wildlife.
B
The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class. He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students’ perspectives, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one too.
“These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel bad about my age,” Valencia says.
One day, I spotted Valencia on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class.
Sure, I said. But he wouldn’t get any credit.
No problem, he said.
Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class.
A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework. “Here he is willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,”says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior. Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go.
There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s. At his current pace, he’ll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall. But that doesn’t seem especially relevant. He’s found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating. Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts(成绩单). But I’m giving him an A—and in the most important ways, it counts.
4. What made Valencia different from his classmates?
A. He was respectful to the teacher.
B. He activated the class atmosphere.
C. He was eager to learn despite his age.
D. He often put forward different opinions.
5. According to the author, why did Valencia continue to attend classes?
A. He treasured the chance of learning.
B. He wished to show his determination.
C. He needed the credits to further his study.
D. He desired to have an A on his transcripts.
6. Which of the following best describes Valencia?
A. Modest and independent. B. Energetic and generous.
C. Enthusiastic and motivated. D. Considerate and intelligent.
7 What can we learn from the passage?
A. No pains, no gains. B. It is never too old to learn.
C. Strike the iron while it is hot. D. Where there is life, there is hope.
C
At any given moment, millions of people suffer from undiagnosed (未确诊) health conditions—diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, or even early signs of neurological diseases—that could be detected earlier with better monitoring. In fact, the World Health Organization estimates that delayed diagnosis contributes to nearly 20% of preventable health complications (并发症). What if there was a way to continuously track key health markers without invasive blood tests or frequent doctor visits?
Researchers have developed a groundbreaking smart contact lens (隐形眼镜) that can analyze tears to monitor health in real time. Inspired by the natural composition of tears, the lens uses ultra-thin sensors to detect changes in these substances. Their waves can indicate dehydration, high blood sugar, or even signs of stress.
The new technology is built on a flexible hydrogel (水凝胶) equipped with biological sensors that react to specific biomarkers. When these substances interact with the sensors, the lens sends out light signals that can be captured by a smartphone camera. An accompanying app then translates these signals into easy-to-understand health data, warning the wearer if any levels fall outside the normal range. The hydrogel material is comfortable for extended wear and minimizes wear-related stress, making it suitable for daily use. Additionally, the lens is designed to maintain clear vision while performing its monitoring functions, ensuring no damage to the wearer’s sight.
In tests, the lenses successfully detected abnormal sugar levels in diabetic patients within seconds. When the smartphone app processes the light signals, it provides instant feedback, allowing users to take immediate action if necessary.
“While further clinical testing is needed before this technology can be widely adopted, our work represents a major step forward in non-invasive health monitoring,” said Dr. Elena Vasquez from Stanford University. “Future versions could integrate additional features, such as drug delivery for conditions like glaucoma, which will be a key focus of our next research phase. We are also exploring partnerships with healthcare providers to make this technology accessible to underserved populations.”
8. What does the author stress in paragraph 1?
A. The urgency for early detection of health issues.
B. The inefficiency of traditional diagnostic methods.
C. The growing burden of deadly diseases worldwide.
D The high cost of monitoring people’s health condition.
9. Why is a hydrogel used in the smart contact lens?
A. To change the contact lens’ color. B. To replace the smartphone camera.
C. To store real-time health data. D. To ensure comfort and clear vision.
10. What is Dr. Elena Vasquez’s suggestion about?
A. The future plans of the research.
B The limitations of future version.
C. The challenges of producing the lenses.
D. The practical applications of the technology.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Tears Uncover Your Health Secret. B. Contact Lens cure Diseases.
C. Smart Lens detect Diseases Early. D. Hydrogel Improves Eyesight.
D
When you think of Chinese food in the US, fried rice, or General Tso’s chicken may first come to mind. But a new museum exhibition in New York City is trying to expand visitors’ palates (味蕾). It features stories of famous cooks like Martin Yan and home cooks whose food represents 18 different regional cooking styles of China.
“I think it’s unfair to just classify Chinese cooking as one,” says Kian Lam Kho, an organizer of “Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy: Stories of Chinese Food and Identity in America” at the Museum of Chinese in America. “Even with the same dish or same cuisine, every family has a different variation.” That’s why the organizers say if you want to taste the full range of Chinese cuisine in the US, you’ll need to go beyond restaurants and into home kitchens, which can play a central role in many immigrants’ lives.
“The kitchen itself is kind of a comfort when you come to a new country. That’s the one place where you set up as your home base, and you cook things that you remember from your past,” explains Audra Ang, another organizer.
One of the home cooks showcased in the exhibition is Ni Biying, 80, of Manhattan. She worked as a live-in babysitter for years before she could finally afford to rent a home with her own kitchen. These days, you can usually find her moving around her one-bedroom apartment as a sweet smell of vinegar and rice wine floats from her stove. For Ni, a small dinner for friends and family means preparing almost a dozen different dishes. She learned some of her techniques from her father, who made most of her family’s meals when she was a child. “I still miss the beef with stir-fried celery my father used to cook,” she says. And it’s the kind of comfort food that defines Chinese food for Ni.
12. What is the new museum exhibition mainly about?
A. Cuisine of different countries. B. Exploration of famous restaurants.
C. History of Chinese immigration. D. Stories of Chinese food and cooks.
13. Why does the kitchen play a key role in many immigrants’ lives?
A. It provides a wealthy life. B. It brings a sense of belonging.
C. It helps them to accept new cultures. D. It enables them to forget the past.
14. What can we learn about Ni Biying from Paragraph 4?
A. She worked in a Chinese restaurant.
B. She made most meals as a child.
C. She learned cooking from her father.
D. She lives with a big family.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Cuisine Gains New Variations
B. Home Cooking Brings More to the Table
C. Immigrants Seek Their Fortune in the US
D. Chinese Restaurant Tells Immigrant Tales
