Earlier this year, the old man set out on an inspiring journey to the Himalayas, where he installed (安装) what he proudly calls the world’s highest defibrillator. In the challenging environment of Qomolangma, where climbers face numerous risks, the timely use of a defibrillator can significantly boost survival rates from cardiac arrest (心搏骤停), increasing the chances from 8% to over 50% within the first three minutes. To ensure the defibrillator was fully operational, Sullivan climbed to an impressive altitude of over 18,000 feet before descending to a nearby village at around 17,000 feet for the installation. He returned from this incredible adventure on April 30th and was thrilled to learn just weeks later that the device had successfully saved a 30-year-old French woman who had suffered a cardiac arrest. “It was the proudest moment of my life when I learned what had happened,” said Sullivan. A Sherpa (夏尔巴人) informed him of the successful use of the defibrillator. He hopes it will inspire others to understand the importance of having access to such lifesaving equipment. During his time in Nepal, Sullivan also took the opportunity to share his knowledge of CPR and defibrillator training with local villagers, many of whom had never received such instruction before. Now back in the UK, he is busy preparing to present a training initiative to the government aimed at equipping 1.2 million children across London with essential CPR skills. Sullivan conceives a future where every school is equipped with a defibrillator and where every student, teacher, and staff member is trained to save lives. He emphasized the need for widespread training. He gave an example: Once, around 30 people watching nearby couldn’t help a person in cardiac arrest because they lacked the necessary knowledge. 4. Why did Sullivan install the defibrillator in the Himalayas? A. To advertise his new defibrillator. B. To lift climbers’ survival chances. C. To promote his CPR training company. D. To test the device in extreme conditions. 5. What did the author want to show by mentioning the French woman’s survival? A. Sullivan’s effort paid off. B. Climbing mountains was risky. C. There were too few defibrillators. D. Sullivan’s journey was adventurous. 6. What did Sullivan do when staying at Nepal? A. He provided CPR training for locals. B. He inspired people to extend CPR. C. He presented a training initiative. D. He installed defibrillators across the country. 7. What does the underlined word “conceives” mean in the last paragraph? A. Witnesses. B. Announces. C. Imagines. D. Doubts. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Code Blue CPR创始人沙利文在喜马拉雅山安装除颤器、开展急救培训，助力拯救生命的事迹与愿景。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In the challenging environment of Qomolangma, where climbers face numerous risks, the timely use of a defibrillator can significantly boost survival rates from cardiac arrest (心搏骤停), increasing the chances from 8% to over 50% within the first three minutes.(在珠穆朗玛峰的恶劣环境中，登山者面临着诸多风险，及时使用除颤器可以显著提高心搏骤停的存活率，在最初三分钟内将存活率从8%提高到50%以上。)”可知，沙利文在喜马拉雅山安装除颤器是为了提升登山者心搏骤停后的生存几率。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“He returned from this incredible adventure on April 30th and was thrilled to learn just weeks later that the device had successfully saved a 30-year-old French woman who had suffered a cardiac arrest.(他于4月30日从这场不可思议的冒险中归来，几周后得知该设备成功挽救了一名突发心搏骤停的30岁法国女性的生命，他感到非常激动。)”可知，作者提及法国女性获救的事例，是为了说明沙利文安装除颤器的努力有了成效。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“During his time in Nepal, Sullivan also took the opportunity to share his knowledge of CPR and defibrillator training with local villagers, many of whom had never received such instruction before.(在尼泊尔期间，沙利文还借此机会向当地村民分享了心肺复苏术和除颤器使用的相关知识，其中许多人此前从未接受过此类培训。)”可知，沙利文在尼泊尔时为当地人提供了心肺复苏术培训。故选A项。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“a future where every school is equipped with a defibrillator and where every student, teacher, and staff member is trained to save lives.(一个每所学校都配备除颤器，每个学生、教师和工作人员都接受过救生培训的未来。)”可知，这是沙利文心中设想的未来场景，因此“conceives”意为“设想、想象”。故选C项。 C Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits, including reduced risk of age-related diseases. But, until now, how it works inside our cells, and what exactly is its connection with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks have remained a mystery. In new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects ageing by employing an ancient cellular energy system. A few years ago, the same research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called Target of Rapamycin (TOR). TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living things for over 500 million years. But in their latest study, the scientists made a surprising discovery: Caffeine doesn’t act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge (能量监测器) that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans. “When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to help them cope,” explains Dr Charalampos, the study’s senior author. “Importantly, our results show that caffeine helps turn on that switch.” Using their yeast model, the researchers showed that caffeine’s effect on AMPK influences how cells grow, repair their DNA, and respond to stress — all of which are tied to ageing and disease. “These findings help explain why caffeine might be beneficial to health and longevity (长寿),” said Dr John-Patrick, a postdoctoral research scientist leading this study. “And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly — with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.” 8. What is the main purpose of the new research mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To find new use of caffeine in medicine. B. To identify how caffeine influences cell ageing. C. To explore the history of caffeine consumption. D. To compare human cells with fission yeast cells. 9. What does TOR serve as? A. A sign of ageing. B. An energy source. C. A cellular fuel gauge. D. A growth command center. 10. What aspect does John-Patrick state about the research in the last paragraph? A. Its economic benefits. B. Its characteristics. C. Its disadvantages. D. Its potentials. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Your Morning Coffee Flips an Ancient Longevity Switch B. Fission Yeast Is Surprisingly Similar to Human Cells C. The Yeast Model Unlocks Ageing’s Hidden Pathways D. AMPK Is Conserved in Yeast and Humans for Long 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了新研究揭示咖啡因通过激活古老细胞能量系统影响衰老，解开其有益健康的机制之谜。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But, until now, how it works inside our cells, and what exactly is its connection with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks have remained a mystery. In new research on fission yeast(裂殖酵母), researchers found that caffeine affects ageing by employing an ancient cellular energy system.(但到目前为止，它如何在我们的细胞内工作，以及它与营养和应激反应基因及蛋白质网络的确切联系仍然是个谜。在一项关于裂殖酵母的新研究中，研究人员发现咖啡因通过利用一种古老的细胞能量系统来影响衰老。)”可知，新研究的主要目的是弄清楚咖啡因如何影响细胞衰老。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available.(TOR是一种生物开关，根据可用的食物和能量多少，告诉细胞何时生长。)”可知，TOR充当细胞生长的“指令中心”。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly — with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.(它们为未来的研究开辟了令人兴奋的可能性，即我们如何通过饮食、生活方式或新药更直接地利用这些效果。)”可知，约翰-帕特里克强调了该研究的潜在价值。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文以及根据第一段“In new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects ageing by employing an ancient cellular energy system.(在一项针对裂殖酵母（一种单细胞生物，其与人类细胞的相似性令人惊讶）的新研究中，研究人员发现，咖啡因会借助一种古老的细胞能量系统来影响衰老过程)”可知，短文介绍咖啡因通过激活AMPK这一古老细胞系统影响衰老，助力长寿。A项“你早上的咖啡激活了古老的长寿开关”为最佳标题。故选A项。 D In recent years, research into using robots as carers or nurses has grown significantly. A team led by a famous professor is developing a robot called Nadine. This robot can monitor a patient’s physical and mental condition, call for help in emergencies, and engage in conversations. “The robot never experiences exhaustion or boredom,” the professor remarks. “The robot could be caring for the elderly within 10 years, although they are far from perfect now.” Some major technology companies are also actively involved in the research of robonurses. However, a researcher admits that not everyone is receptive to the idea of having a robot as a carer. This perspective is supported by a research company, which revealed resistance (抗拒) to the use of humanoid robots in elderly care. People feel uneasy about the thought of their parents being attended to by“machines”. Although the extensive use of humanoid robots may still be in the distant future, robopets have already found applications worldwide. A therapeutic (医疗的) roboseal, developed in Japan, has been shown to relieve the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (痴呆). A doctor states, “Some patients who were previously non-verbal started speaking again first to the seal, and then to others about the seal.” The doctor acknowledges that there are limitations to robo-pets, especially the high cost. One such robopet is priced at about $5,000. Robotic solutions also have their disadvantages. Another expert points out that one concern is whether the popularity of humanoid carers could lead to the further isolation (孤独) of the elderly. “We must pose the question: Are robots isolating people more; or truly helping them?” he says. He also mentions that the use of robotics raises issues regarding personal data security. Despite these doubts, the expert believes that the development of robo-care is inevitable. 12. What can Nadine do according to the text? A. Cook meals for patients. B. Monitor nurses and doctors. C. Look after patients. D. Do heavy work for the elderly. 13. Why do some people dislike the idea of using humanoid robots in elderly care? A. Robots are too expensive. B. Robots cannot relieve dementia symptoms. C. They think robots fail to handle emergencies. D. They disbelieve machines’ caring for loved ones. 14. What can we infer about robo-pets from the text? A. They have successfully cured dementia in many patients. B. The low price makes them accessible to most people. C. They are more widely accepted than humanoid robots. D. They are only available in Japan at present. 15. What concern does the expert raise about the use of robots in elderly care? A. Robots may cause patients’ illness to get worse. B. Humanoid robots may make the elderly’s loneliness increase. C. Robo-pets can replace human carers completely. D. The development of humanoid robots in healthcare will stop soon. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了近年来机器人作为护理人员或护士的研究显著增长，包括机器人Nadine的功能、人们对人形机器人在老年人护理中的抗拒态度、机器宠物在痴呆症治疗中的应用及其局限性，以及专家对机器人护理的担忧和看法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A team led by a famous professor is developing a robot called Nadine. This robot can monitor a patient’s physical and mental condition, call for help in emergencies, and engage in conversations. (由一位著名教授领导的团队正在开发一种名为Nadine的机器人。这个机器人可以监测病人的身体和精神状况，在紧急情况下呼救，并进行对话。)”可知，Nadine可以照顾病人。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This perspective is supported by a research company, which revealed resistance (抗拒) to the use of humanoid robots in elderly care. People feel uneasy about the thought of their parents being attended to by “machines”. (这一观点得到了一家研究公司的支持，该公司揭示了人们对在老年人护理中使用人形机器人的抗拒。一想到自己的父母被“机器”照顾，人们就感到不安。)”可知，有些人不喜欢在老年人护理中使用人形机器人的想法是因为他们不相信机器能照顾亲人。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Although the extensive use of humanoid robots may still be in the distant future, robopets have already found applications worldwide. (虽然人形机器人的广泛应用可能仍在遥远的未来，但机器宠物已经在世界范围内得到了应用。)”可知，机器宠物已经得到广泛应用，再结合第六段“Robotic solutions also have their disadvantages. Another expert points out that one concern is whether the popularity of humanoid carers could lead to the further isolation (孤独) of the elderly. (机器人解决方案也有其缺点。另一位专家指出，一个担忧是人形护理人员的普及是否会导致老年人进一步孤独。)”可知，人形机器人存在缺点，由此可推知，机器宠物比人形机器人更受欢迎。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Another expert points out that one concern is whether the popularity of humanoid carers could lead to the further isolation (孤独) of the elderly. (另一位专家指出，一个担忧是人形护理人员的普及是否会导致老年人进一步孤独。)”可知，专家对人形机器人在老年人护理中的使用提出的担忧是人形机器人可能会增加老年人的孤独感。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Confidence is about trusting yourself and your abilities.

Confidence gives you the strength to take risks, to step out of your comfort zone, and to pursue your dreams with determination. ____17____ Each success builds another rung (梯级) on your ladder of confidence. When you believe in your abilities, you are more likely to take on new challenges and succeed. This cycle of success and growing confidence creates a powerful upward trajectory (轨道) in your life, driving you toward even greater accomplishments. However, many people may confuse confidence with arrogance(傲慢). Confidence is about believing in yourself, while arrogance is about thinking you are better than others. Confident people are aware of their strengths and weaknesses, and they use this self-awareness to improve. Arrogant people, on the other hand, often overestimate their abilities and underestimate others. ____18____ People can benefit a lot from confidence. For example, it is a key factor in building self-esteem. ____19____ This positive self-view helps you take on challenges and learn from mistakes. Moreover, confidence enables you to maintain a growth mindset, always seeking opportunities for improvement and development. In addition, when you’re confident, you trust your judgment. This trust helps you make decisions more easily and quickly. As a result, you can act with greater certainty. ____20____ This approach often leads to better results and a stronger sense of accomplishment. A. Confidence is rooted in past achievements and experiences. B. This self-assurance doesn’t mean you won’t face challenges. C. You are more likely to seize opportunities without hesitation. D. However, we should try to understand those who are arrogant. E. When you believe in your abilities, you feel better about yourself. F. Fortunately, this belief is like a superpower that everyone can develop. G. In sum, confidence reflects self-awareness, while arrogance shows overconfidence. 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. G 19. E 20.

Some believe weiqi should be played in a spirit of honesty, always expecting the opponent ____37____ (respond) wisely. Others admit that psychological elements, such as testing an opponent’s reading ability, play a natural role ____38____ high-level competition. A typical dilemma occurs when one deliberately plays a move that doesn’t work — hoping the opponent will fail to punish it. If the opponent sees through the trick, the player may feel embarrassed, and the match loses its meaning. Yet, in some handicap games (让子对局), these “overplays” are sometimes necessary steps to balance the ____39____ (different) in skill. ____40____ (interesting), weiqi theory has long reflected ____41____ modern game theory teaches. It may be ____42____ (reason) to take calculated risks when one is behind. Still, many experienced players avoid such tactics (招法), ____43____ (argue) that inviting an error is not the same as punishing one. Weiqi remains a game where skill and character ____44____ (test) together. Perhaps the true challenge lies in recognizing when to play firmly and when to be kind. After all, the board itself becomes ____45____ mirror in which we reflect our decisions — not only as players, but as people. 【答案】36. valued 37. to respond 38. in 39. difference 40.

For Joseph, Kyle, Sam, and Harry, that day marked the end of their tight-knit friendship. “What will I do without you guys?” Kyle asked as they walked down the same route going home for the last time. The four of them were inseparable, always joining the same organizations, spending every lunch break together, and attending all events as a group. “Tell me about it, man. Europe is too far away from my liking. You guys better write to me a lot,” Joseph chimed in. He said since they were children, they’d just rush to each other’s houses whenever they needed each other. Not wanting to go their separate ways, the friends agreed to meet again the next day, sitting by the beach in their coastal town. There, they spoke about where life was about to take them and how they planned to stay in touch. While Joseph was moving to Europe, Sam was to study in Canada. Harry was moving with his family to Mexico, where his father was offered a job. Meanwhile, Kyle decided to stay in California and study at the University of California Los Angeles, where he got a basketball scholarship. They couldn’t help but shed tears during their talk by the beach “Let’s all write to each other at least every other month. What do you guys say?” Kyle suggested. They all agreed. Sam tore four sheets of paper from his notebook and they wrote their future addresses. Once that was settled, they made sure that in case they lost touch, they’d meet again in the future. Sam suggested meeting here in exactly forty years. They all raised their soda cans as a toast, signifying the promise that they’d all make it back to the beach in four decades on May 30th. Years had passed, and the group of friends eventually lost touch. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, when the 40-year mark came, they never forgot about the promise they made. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Harry, Sam, and Kyle were saddened by the letter under the bench and decided to find and help Joseph. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： However, when the 40-year mark came, they never forgot about the promise they made. They all booked flights to California from wherever they were. Kyle was the first to arrive. Soon after, Harry arrived. Thirty minutes later, Sam arrived. Despite nearing their 60s, they were so excited that they jumped for joy as they hugged one another. All but Joseph appeared. The three decided to stay there until nightfall to ensure they didn’t miss Joseph. When they were sitting on a bench, they found a letter from Joseph under it, mentioning he had lost their addresses and he couldn’t come because of his tight financial problem. Harry, Sam, and Kyle were saddened by the letter under the bench and decided to find and help Joseph. They were so sad to know Joseph had been having a difficult time. The three men booked the next flight to Spain without a second thought. When they found him at the address he had given, Joseph was surprised to see them all. As they sat together in Joseph’s small apartment, sharing stories of their lives, they realized that despite the distance and the years that had passed, their bond remained unbroken and decided to support each other no matter what life threw at them. The reunion was more than just a meeting; it was a reminder of their unbreakable friendship. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了即将毕业的Joseph、Kyle、Sam和Harry四人有着深厚的友谊，毕业标志着他们友谊面临分离。他们约定40年后回到家乡的海滩相聚，然而多年后他们失去了联系。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，当40年之约到来时，他们从未忘记自己许下的承诺。”可知，第一段可描述三人从各地赶来，见面后的激动心情，以及发现唯独Joseph未到，在长椅下找到Joseph的信，信中说明他因弄丢地址和经济困难无法前来。 ②由第二段首句内容“哈里、萨姆和凯尔因长椅下的那封信而难过，他们决定去寻找约瑟夫并帮助他”可知，第二段可描述他们前往西班牙找到Joseph，Joseph见到他们很惊讶，大家相聚后意识到友谊依旧深厚，决定今后互相支持，强调这次重逢对他们友谊的意义。 2.续写线索：40年后三人从各地赶来海滩——Joseph未到——找到Joseph的信，得知Joseph的困难——三人去西班牙找 Joseph——相聚后感悟——决定互相支持 3.词汇激活 ① 预订：book /reserve ② 拥抱：hug /embrace ③ 发现：find /discover 情绪类 ① 快乐：joy /pleasure ② 惊讶：surprised/astonished 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Despite nearing their 60s, they were so excited that they jumped for joy as they hugged one another.（运用so... that...引导的结果状语从句，as引导的状语从句） 【高分句型 2】As they sat together in Joseph’s small apartment, sharing stories of their lives, they realized that despite the distance and the years that had passed, their bond remained unbroken and decided to support each other no matter what life threw at them.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句，that引导的宾语从句，that引导的定语从句，和no matter what引导的让步状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三考试英语试卷 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

B As the founder of Code Blue CPR, Sullivan dedicates himself to teaching the vital skills of CPR and using defibrillator (除颤器), both at home and globally. Earlier this year, the old man set out on an inspiring journey to the Himalayas, where he installed (安装) what he proudly calls the world’s highest defibrillator. In the challenging environment of Qomolangma, where climbers face numerous risks, the timely use of a defibrillator can significantly boost survival rates from cardiac arrest (心搏骤停), increasing the chances from 8% to over 50% within the first three minutes. To ensure the defibrillator was fully operational, Sullivan climbed to an impressive altitude of over 18,000 feet before descending to a nearby village at around 17,000 feet for the installation. He returned from this incredible adventure on April 30th and was thrilled to learn just weeks later that the device had successfully saved a 30-year-old French woman who had suffered a cardiac arrest. “It was the proudest moment of my life when I learned what had happened,” said Sullivan. A Sherpa (夏尔巴人) informed him of the successful use of the defibrillator. He hopes it will inspire others to understand the importance of having access to such lifesaving equipment. During his time in Nepal, Sullivan also took the opportunity to share his knowledge of CPR and defibrillator training with local villagers, many of whom had never received such instruction before. Now back in the UK, he is busy preparing to present a training initiative to the government aimed at equipping 1.2 million children across London with essential CPR skills. Sullivan conceives a future where every school is equipped with a defibrillator and where every student, teacher, and staff member is trained to save lives. He emphasized the need for widespread training. He gave an example: Once, around 30 people watching nearby couldn’t help a person in cardiac arrest because they lacked the necessary knowledge. 4. Why did Sullivan install the defibrillator in the Himalayas? A. To advertise his new defibrillator. B To lift climbers’ survival chances. C. To promote his CPR training company. D. To test the device in extreme conditions. 5. What did the author want to show by mentioning the French woman’s survival? A. Sullivan’s effort paid off. B. Climbing mountains was risky. C. There were too few defibrillators. D. Sullivan’s journey was adventurous. 6. What did Sullivan do when staying at Nepal? A. He provided CPR training for locals. B. He inspired people to extend CPR. C. He presented a training initiative. D. He installed defibrillators across the country. 7. What does the underlined word “conceives” mean in the last paragraph? A. Witnesses. B. Announces. C. Imagines. D. Doubts. C Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits, including reduced risk of age-related diseases. But, until now, how it works inside our cells, and what exactly is its connection with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks have remained a mystery. In new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects ageing by employing an ancient cellular energy system. A few years ago, the same research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called Target of Rapamycin (TOR). TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living things for over 500 million years. But in their latest study, the scientists made a surprising discovery: Caffeine doesn’t act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge (能量监测器) that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans. “When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to help them cope,” explains Dr Charalampos, the study’s senior author. “Importantly, our results show that caffeine helps turn on that switch.” Using their yeast model, the researchers showed that caffeine’s effect on AMPK influences how cells grow, repair their DNA, and respond to stress — all of which are tied to ageing and disease. “These findings help explain why caffeine might be beneficial to health and longevity (长寿),” said Dr John-Patrick, a postdoctoral research scientist leading this study. “And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly — with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.” 8. What is the main purpose of the new research mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To find new use of caffeine in medicine. B. To identify how caffeine influences cell ageing. C. To explore the history of caffeine consumption. D. To compare human cells with fission yeast cells. 9. What does TOR serve as? A. A sign of ageing. B. An energy source. C. A cellular fuel gauge. D. A growth command center. 10. What aspect does John-Patrick state about the research in the last paragraph? A. Its economic benefits. B. Its characteristics. C. Its disadvantages. D. Its potentials. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Your Morning Coffee Flips an Ancient Longevity Switch B. Fission Yeast Is Surprisingly Similar to Human Cells C. The Yeast Model Unlocks Ageing’s Hidden Pathways D. AMPK Is Conserved in Yeast and Humans for Long D In recent years, research into using robots as carers or nurses has grown significantly. A team led by a famous professor is developing a robot called Nadine. This robot can monitor a patient’s physical and mental condition, call for help in emergencies, and engage in conversations. “The robot never experiences exhaustion or boredom,” the professor remarks. “The robot could be caring for the elderly within 10 years, although they are far from perfect now.” Some major technology companies are also actively involved in the research of robonurses. However, a researcher admits that not everyone is receptive to the idea of having a robot as a carer. This perspective is supported by a research company, which revealed resistance (抗拒) to the use of humanoid robots in elderly care. People feel uneasy about the thought of their parents being attended to by“machines”. Although the extensive use of humanoid robots may still be in the distant future, robopets have already found applications worldwide. A therapeutic (医疗的) roboseal, developed in Japan, has been shown to relieve the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (痴呆). A doctor states, “Some patients who were previously non-verbal started speaking again first to the seal, and then to others about the seal.” The doctor acknowledges that there are limitations to robo-pets, especially the high cost.

For Joseph, Kyle, Sam, and Harry, that day marked the end of their tight-knit friendship. “What will I do without you guys?” Kyle asked as they walked down the same route going home for the last time. The four of them were inseparable, always joining the same organizations, spending every lunch break together, and attending all events as a group. “Tell me about it, man. Europe is too far away from my liking. You guys better write to me a lot,” Joseph chimed in. He said since they were children, they’d just rush to each other’s houses whenever they needed each other. Not wanting to go their separate ways, the friends agreed to meet again the next day, sitting by the beach in their coastal town. There, they spoke about where life was about to take them and how they planned to stay in touch. While Joseph was moving to Europe, Sam was to study in Canada. Harry was moving with his family to Mexico, where his father was offered a job. Meanwhile, Kyle decided to stay in California and study at the University of California Los Angeles, where he got a basketball scholarship. They couldn’t help but shed tears during their talk by the beach. “Let’s all write to each other at least every other month. What do you guys say?” Kyle suggested. They all agreed. Sam tore four sheets of paper from his notebook and they wrote their future addresses. Once that was settled, they made sure that in case they lost touch, they’d meet again in the future. Sam suggested meeting here in exactly forty years. They all raised their soda cans as a toast, signifying the promise that they’d all make it back to the beach in four decades on May 30th. Years had passed, and the group of friends eventually lost touch. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, when the 40-year mark came, they never forgot about the promise they made. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Harry, Sam, and Kyle were saddened by the letter under the bench and decided to find and help Joseph. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
