For someone who had always taken her independence for granted, the sudden loss of control over her own body was overwhelming. But rather than falling into despair, Lisa decided to use her recovery journey as an opportunity to redefine her understanding of strength. During the long months of therapy, Lisa became fascinated by the resilience of the human brain. She read extensively about neuroplasticity (神经可塑性) — the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. Inspired, she began keeping a journal where she documented not only her physical progress but also her emotional highs and lows. Over time, the act of writing became a way for her to process her fears and frustrations, and to find clarity among the chaos. One evening, while re-reading her journal entries, Lisa noticed a pattern. The entries that focused on small victories — like taking her first unassisted step — seemed to carry more emotional weight than those obsessing over her struggles. She realized that celebrating gradual progress, no matter how insignificant it seemed, had been the key to maintaining her determination. This insight marked a turning point in her recovery. From that day on, she chose to focus on what she could do rather than what she couldn’t. Two years later, Lisa not only regained her ability to walk and speak but also authored a book about her experience, titled Steps of the Mind. The book became a bestseller and was praised for its honest and hopeful portrayal of recovery. Lisa’s story inspired countless others facing similar challenges, reminding them that strength is not defined by perfection but by perseverance. 34. Why was Lisa’s condition particularly overwhelming to her? A. She had always relied heavily on others for support. B. Her career required her to be physically active. C. Her condition was diagnosed at an unusually young age. D. She was unprepared for the sudden loss of independence. 35. How did keeping a journal help Lisa during her recovery? A. It allowed her to improve her writing skills. B. It helped her identify the causes of her condition. C. It provided her with a sense of emotional relief and clarity. D. It gave her a way to communicate when she couldn’t speak. 36. What was the key insight Lisa gained from her journal entries? A. Writing about her struggles improved her emotional health. B. Focusing on small victories kept her motivated. C. Rapid recovery was less important than steady progress. D. Setting ambitious goals was the key to success. 37. What does Lisa’s story primarily teach us? A. Physical recovery depends largely on mental resilience. B. Journaling is essential for overcoming challenges. C. Medical knowledge is crucial for personal growth. D. Support from others is the most important factor in recovery. 【答案】34. D 35. C 36. B 37. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了27岁的Lisa Carter患罕见病，行动和语言能力受到影响，她在治疗中通过写日记发现关注小胜利能保持动力，于是坚持这样做，最终康复，并出书激励他人。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“For someone who had always taken her independence for granted, the sudden loss of control over her own body was overwhelming. (对于一个一直认为独立是理所当然的人来说，突然失去对自己身体的控制是压倒性的)”可知，这种情况具有压倒性是因为Lisa对突然失去独立毫无准备。故选D项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Over time, the act of writing became a way for her to process her fears and frustrations, and to find clarity among the chaos. (随着时间的推移，写作成为她处理恐惧和挫折的一种方式，并在混乱中找到清晰的方向)”可知，写日记给了Lisa一种情感上的解脱和清醒。故选C项。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Lisa noticed a pattern. The entries that focused on small victories — like taking her first unassisted step — seemed to carry more emotional weight than those obsessing over her struggles. She realized that celebrating gradual progress, no matter how insignificant it seemed, had been the key to maintaining her determination. (Lisa注意到了一个规律。那些专注于小胜利的日记——比如独自迈出第一步——似乎比那些纠结于她的挣扎的日记更有情感分量。她意识到，庆祝渐进的进步，无论它看起来多么微不足道，都是保持决心的关键)”可知，Lisa从日记中获得的关键见解是关注小的胜利能让她保持动力。故选B项。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“Lisa’s story inspired countless others facing similar challenges, reminding them that strength is not defined by perfection but by perseverance. (Lisa的故事激励了无数面临类似挑战的人，提醒他们，力量不是由完美来定义的，而是由坚持来定义的)”可知，文章讲述了Lisa在面对疾病导致身体失去控制时，通过坚持写日记，关注日常取得的小胜利来保持动力，最终不仅身体恢复还写了畅销书激励他人。这强调了她精神上的坚韧对身体恢复的重要作用，即身体恢复在很大程度上取决于精神上的坚韧。故选A项。 C Giving blood regularly may not just be saving the lives of other people, it could also be improving your own blood’s health at a genetic level, according to a new study. A team of researchers compared samples from 217 men who had given blood more than 100 times in their lives, to samples from 212 men who had donated less than 10 times, to look for any variance in blood health. While the differences were subtle, the frequent donors’ blood was more likely to have beneficial mutations (突变) in a gene called DNMT3A. Other mutations in DNMT3A have been previously linked to blood cancer. “Our work is a fascinating example of how our genes interact with the environment as we age,” says stem cell biologist Dominique Bonnet, from The Francis Crick Institute in the UK. Specifically, the team looked at blood stem cells, which produce more blood cells on demand. As we get older, these mechanisms can start to break down, leading to problems with blood cancers such as leukemia (白血病). Blood loss triggers the production of the hormone erythropoietin (促红细胞生成素激素). In lab tests on blood stem cells treated with erythropoietin, the researchers found those with the DNMT3A mutation produced blood faster than those without the mutation. This suggests frequent blood loss leads to more production of the beneficial mutations (突变)blood cells. Research in mice shows the DNMT3A mutation results in healthier blood levels after the stress of blood loss. “Activities that put low levels of stress on blood cell production allow our blood stem cells to renew and we think this favors mutations that further promote stem cell growth rather than disease,” says Bonnet. However, there are limitations to consider. Blood donors are more likely to be healthier anyway (it’s a condition of giving blood), so figuring out any additional health benefit is tricky, because it might actually come from being in better shape to begin with. “Our sample size is quite modest, so we can’t say that blood donation definitely decreases the occurrence of pre-leukemic mutations,” says Bonnet. In the US, there’s such an urgent need for blood donors that someone needs blood or platelets (small fragments in blood) every two seconds. Having healthier blood is an added bonus. While waiting for more detailed studies to confirm these findings, the study tells us more about how blood cancers can get started in the first place. “We’re now aiming to work out how these different types of mutations play a role in developing leukemia or not, and whether they can be targeted therapeutics,” says stem cell biologist Hector Huerga Encabo, from the Francis Crick Institute. 38. What was the primary focus of the study mentioned in the passage? A. The genetic differences between frequent and occasional blood donors. B. The role of erythropoietin in blood cell production. C. The relationship between blood donation and leukemia. D. The therapeutic applications of DNMT3A mutations 39. According to the research, blood loss affects blood stem cells in that ______. A. It triggers the production of cancerous cells in the DNMT3A gene B. It accelerates the growth of cells with beneficial DNMT3A mutations C. It benefits the overall health condition of the donors D. It weakens the regenerative capacity of blood stem cells 40. What limitation does the study acknowledge? A. Donors’ genetic backgrounds were not fully accounted for. B. Donors’ pre-existing health conditions might influence results. C. Erythropoietin levels were not measured in the experiment. D. Mouse models cannot accurately reflect human genetic mechanisms. 41. Based on the passage, the research team’s next goal is ______. A. to develop a new drug targeting DNMT3A mutations B. to conduct large-scale human trials of erythropoietin therapy C. to determine which DNMT3A mutations directly cause leukemia D. to analyze environmental factors influencing blood donation behavior 【答案】38. A 39. B 40. B 41. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一项新研究发现定期献血可能改善自身血液基因健康，同时提及研究局限性及后续目标。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A team of researchers compared samples from 217 men who had given blood more than 100 times in their lives, to samples from 212 men who had donated less than 10 times, to look for any variance in blood health.(一组研究人员对比了217名终身献血超过100次的男性和212名献血不足10次的男性的样本，以寻找血液健康方面的差异)”和第二段中的“While the differences were subtle, the frequent donors’ blood was more likely to have beneficial mutations in a gene called DNMT3A . (虽然差异很微妙，但经常献血者的血液更有可能在一种名为DNMT3A的基因中有有益的突变)”可知，该研究的核心是对比频繁献血者和偶尔献血者在血液健康上的差异，而这种差异聚焦于基因层面。故选A项。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This suggests frequent blood loss leads to more production of the beneficial mutations blood cells. Research in mice shows the DNMT3A mutation results in healthier blood levels after the stress of blood loss.(这表明频繁失血会促使产生更多带有有益突变的血细胞。对小鼠的研究显示，DNMT3A基因突变能让小鼠在失血压力后恢复更健康的血液水平)”可知，失血会促进带有有益 DNMT3A 基因突变的细胞生长。故选B项。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Blood donors are more likely to be healthier anyway (it’s a condition of giving blood), so figuring out any additional health benefit is tricky, because it might actually come from being in better shape to begin with.(献血者本身往往更健康（这是献血的前提条件），因此很难确定额外的健康益处是否来自献血，因为这实际上可能源于他们原本就良好的身体状况)”可知，研究承认献血者自身的健康基础可能影响研究结果。故选B项。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“We’re now aiming to work out how these different types of mutations play a role in developing leukemia or not, and whether they can be targeted therapeutics.(我们现在的目标是弄清楚这些不同类型的突变在白血病的发病过程中是否起作用，以及它们是否可以成为靶向治疗的对象)”可知，研究团队下一步是确定哪些 DNMT3A突变会直接导致白血病。故选C项。 D Female role models are having a moment. In the United States, there is a female vice president. The women’s soccer team is fighting a public, uphill battle for equal pay. Women are even making their way into what had seemed a permanent men’s club: the senior operation ranks of the armed forces. Role models inspire people by showing what is actually possible. Research supports that it works: these pioneers not only help us imagine where we might go but also map out the path there. Role models have also been shown to have a bigger impact on women and underrepresented communities— those who have not easily achieved their goals. Seeing more women in the world of science, girls of today are more likely, when asked to draw a scientist, to draw a woman than those in past decades. Even one role model can benefit a child, helping them perform better in school and maintain a positive attitude. However, the idea of “good role models” needs an update, especially when it comes to girls; otherwise the endless stream of shining shots of achievement they see can actually lead to self-doubt. In addition to role models, our work on girls and the process of building confidence has found that what girls really need are “work in progress” models. Girls tend to judge themselves harshly and suffer from perfectionism. They need to see the struggles and failures in their role models, as well as great perseverance. Anything that suggests success effortlessly achieved can be discouraged Helping girls see the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary is a good solution to unrealistic expectations. “Everyday heroes have a special impact,” said the child psychologist Bonnie Zucker. “Take a young girl who has to shoulder-the-responsibility for raising her brothers or sisters for some reason. She might not have attractive social media presence, but her bravery, devotion, and emotional labor are, in fact, heroic.” 42. What can we infer about role models from Paragraph 2? A. They give us realistic guides to success. B. They help us know more outstanding people. C. They are preferred by female groups. D. They show us the value of keeping learning. 43. What influence can the shots of achievement have on girls? A. Broadening their minds. B. Inspiring them to dream big. C. Driving them to work harder. D. Making them doubt themselves. 44. Why do girls need “work in progress” models? A. They make them achieve success quickly. B. They help them accept their imperfect selves. C. They teach them to be strict with themselves. D. They encourage them to follow their dreams. 45. What does the author imply by mentioning Bonnie Zucher’s words? A. Many girls’ expectations are unrealistic. B. Girls have a strong sense of responsibility. C. Girls can follow heroic examples in daily life. D. Social activities are of great importance to girls. 【答案】42. A 43. D 44. B 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕女性榜样展开，介绍了榜样的积极作用，同时指出女孩更需要“成长中”的榜样，并说明日常英雄的特殊影响。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Research supports that it works: these pioneers not only help us imagine where we might go but also map out the path there.(研究证实这一作用是存在的：这些先驱者不仅帮助我们想象我们可以去往的方向，还为我们规划出实现目标的路径。)”可知，榜样能给我们提供通往成功的实际指引。故选A。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, the idea of ‘good role models’ needs an update, especially when it comes to girls; otherwise the endless stream of shining shots of achievement they see can actually lead to self-doubt.(不过，‘优秀榜样’的概念需要更新了，尤其是在涉及女孩群体时；否则，她们看到的那些源源不断的辉煌成就画面，实际上会让她们陷入自我怀疑。)”可知，这些成就画面会让女孩自我怀疑。故选D。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Girls tend to judge themselves harshly and suffer from perfectionism. They need to see the struggles and failures in their role models, as well as great perseverance.(女孩们往往会苛刻地评判自己，深受完美主义的困扰。她们需要看到榜样身上的挣扎与失败，以及强大的毅力。)”可知，“成长中”的榜样能帮助女孩接受不完美的自己。故选B。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“‘Everyday heroes have a special impact,’ said the child psychologist Bonnie Zucker. ‘Take a young girl who has to shoulder-the-responsibility for raising her brothers or sisters for some reason. She might not have attractive social media presence, but her bravery, devotion, and emotional labor are, in fact, heroic.’(儿童心理学家Bonnie Zucker说：‘日常英雄有着特殊的影响。比如一个因某种原因不得不承担起抚养弟弟妹妹责任的年轻女孩。她可能没有吸引人的社交媒体形象，但她的勇敢、奉献和情感付出实际上是英勇的。’)”可知，作者意在说明女孩可以学习日常生活中的英雄榜样。故选C。 第II卷 非选择题(共25分) 第一部分 阅读表达(共 5 小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题 From time to time, life might provide a person with the present of a moment that changes everything. As for me, that came on a plane home in January, 2009. Frankly, as a lawyer, I specialized in corporate law in oil and gas projects. In fact, I’d grown to hate my job. It involved too much paperwork and loads of traveling, which I thought was fairly exhausting. Actually, becoming a lawyer was unintended. I loved my school but it was competitive and students were destined for a good university, and then a graduate plan. That was the track I was on. After graduation, I became a lawyer, but that just made me trapped. I wanted to make a difference, but I had no idea what else I could do. On that life-changing flight, I asked a stewardess to bring me a hot drink. When she returned, I couldn’t help crying. Hugging me, she said, “I don’t know what’s wrong but if you’re crying in business class, you need to change your life.” Those words had a great effect on me. I couldn’t carry on in a job that made me so uncomfortable. After much reflection, I resigned 18 months later. The last time I’d been happy was when I was volunteering at a school. Because of that, my friend Sophia kept telling me I’d love teaching. Then I contacted four schools and became a teacher in the end. No amount of planning would have prepared me for my first day as a teacher. It was stressful, but as I became familiar with the curriculum, I relaxed. Five years on, I’m head of department. Watching my students develop is so rewarding and results day makes me burst with pride. I used to feel scared about the thought of becoming a more senior lawyer, but I’m so positive about the opportunities teaching can offer. I earn less now but I become richer in many ways. Every single day, I feel excited to go to work. 46. Why did the author dislike her job? (no more than 15 words) ____________________________________________________ 47. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean? (no more than 3 words) ____________________________________________________ 48. What made the author choose to become a teacher? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________ 49. How does the author’s life change after being a teacher? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________ 50. What kind of career will you choose after graduation? Please explain. (no more than 25 words) ____________________________________________________ 【答案】46. Because she got fed up with too much paperwork and travelling. Or: Because it involved too much paperwork and a lot of travelling. Or: Because she was tired of too much paperwork and travelling. 47. were scheduled/intended/meant/certain for. 48. Her volunteer experience and her friend’s encouragement. 49. She earns less but works more happily than before. Or: She earns less but becomes richer in many ways. 50. I will choose a job that is related to my interest because the love for job brings the real happiness. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己从律师改变为老师的职业经历说明找工作应该和兴趣有关，做自己热爱的工作，会给自己带来真正的快乐。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In fact, I’d grown to hate my job. It involved too much paperwork and loads of traveling, which I thought was fairly exhausting. (事实上，我开始讨厌我的工作了。它涉及太多的文书工作和大量的旅行，我认为这是相当累的。)”可知，作者之所以讨厌自己的工作是因为她厌倦了太多的文书工作和旅行。故答案为Because she got fed up with too much paperwork and travelling. Or: Because it involved too much paperwork and a lot of travelling. Or: Because she was tired of too much paperwork and travelling. 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词句后文“That was the track I was on. (那是我当时的轨迹。)”说明那是作者当时设计好了的未来，从而推知划线词句“I loved my school but it was competitive and students were destined for a good university, and then a graduate plan. (我喜欢我的学校，但它竞争激烈，学生们were destined for要上好大学，然后是研究生计划。)”其中划线短语应为“设计好的，设定的，预期的”的意思。故答案为Were scheduled/intended/meant/certain for. 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“The last time I’d been happy was when I was volunteering at a school. Because of that, my friend Sophia kept telling me I’d love teaching. Then I contacted four schools and became a teacher in the end. (我上一次开心是在学校做志愿者的时候。正因为如此，我的朋友索菲亚一直告诉我，我会喜欢教书。然后我联系了四所学校，最后成为了一名老师。)”可知，是作者志愿者的经历和朋友的鼓励使她成为一名老师。故答案为Her volunteer experience and her friend’s encouragement. 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Watching my students develop is so rewarding and results day makes me burst with pride. I used to feel scared about the thought of becoming a more senior lawyer, but I’m so positive about the opportunities teaching can offer. I earn less now but I become richer in many ways.(看着我的学生成长是如此有意义，一天的结果让我充满了骄傲。我过去一想到要成为一名更资深的律师就感到害怕，但我对教学所能提供的机会非常乐观。我现在挣得少了，但在很多方面我变得更富有了。)”可知，作者成为老师之后，挣得钱少了，但是比以前更加快乐，精神更富有。故答案为She earns less but works more happily than before. Or: She earns less but becomes richer in many ways. 【50题详解】 阅读表达题。通读全文可知，作者通过自己从律师改变为教师的职业经历说明了找工作应该和兴趣有关，做自己热爱的工作，会给自己带来真正的幸福和快乐，所以我会选择一个与我的兴趣相关的工作，因为对工作的热爱能带来真正的幸福。故答案为I will choose a job that is related to my interest because the love for job brings the real happiness. 第二部分 书面表达(满分15分) 51. 假设你是李津，你收到了一位美国笔友Chris的来信，请仔细阅读他的来信并按要求写一封回信。 Dear Li Jin, I hope this message finds you well. I’m here in China as an exchange student. Everything is unforgettable and I’m really enjoying my time here, but there’s something that’s been confusing me a bit. I noticed that when people greet each other on the street, they often say things like “Chī le ma?” (Have you eaten?) or “Qù nǎ lǐ?” (Where are you going?). I find these greetings really interesting, but I’m not quite sure what they mean or how to answer them probably. I’d love to learn more. And hope we can meet up some time. Yours, Chris 注意： 1. 词数不少于100； 2. 可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； 3. 回信内容应包括对方想了解的内容，且合理交际。 Dear Chris, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best regards, Li Jin 【答案】Dear Chris, I was thrilled to receive your letter! It’s wonderful to hear that you’re enjoying your time as an exchange student in China. ‌“Chī le ma?” (Have you eaten?) is a common greeting. It’s more of a polite way to say hello and express concern for the other person’s well-being, rather than a literal inquiry about their last meal. You can simply reply with ‌“Chī guò le, xiè xiè.” (I’ve eaten, thank you.) or ‌“Hái méi chī ne.” (Haven’t eaten yet.). Similarly, “Qù nǎ lǐ?” (Where are you going?) is another common greeting, often used when people bump into each other unexpectedly or meet on their way somewhere. You can answer by stating your destination or simply say ‌“Just going for a walk/to the store/etc.”. These greetings might seem unusual to you, but they reflect the warmth and friendliness of Chinese people. Once again, enjoy your stay in China, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions or need help navigating this wonderful country. Best regards, Li Jin 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生阅读Chris的来信并按要求写一封关于中文问候如何回答的回信。 【详解】1.词汇积累 激动的：thrilled→excited 而不是：rather than→instead of 类似：similarly→likewise 联系：reach out→contact 2.句式拓展 句型转换 原句：These greetings might seem unusual to you, but they reflect the warmth and friendliness of Chinese people. 拓展句：While these greetings might seem unusual to you, they reflect the warmth and friendliness of Chinese people. 【点睛】[高分句型1] It’s wonderful to hear that you’re enjoying your time as an exchange student in China.

For someone who had always taken her independence for granted, the sudden loss of control over her own body was overwhelming. But rather than falling into despair, Lisa decided to use her recovery journey as an opportunity to redefine her understanding of strength. During the long months of therapy, Lisa became fascinated by the resilience of the human brain. She read extensively about neuroplasticity (神经可塑性) — the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. Inspired, she began keeping a journal where she documented not only her physical progress but also her emotional highs and lows. Over time, the act of writing became a way for her to process her fears and frustrations, and to find clarity among the chaos. One evening, while re-reading her journal entries, Lisa noticed a pattern. The entries that focused on small victories — like taking her first unassisted step — seemed to carry more emotional weight than those obsessing over her struggles. She realized that celebrating gradual progress, no matter how insignificant it seemed, had been the key to maintaining her determination. This insight marked a turning point in her recovery. From that day on, she chose to focus on what she could do rather than what she couldn’t. Two years later, Lisa not only regained her ability to walk and speak but also authored a book about her experience, titled Steps of the Mind. The book became a bestseller and was praised for its honest and hopeful portrayal of recovery. Lisa’s story inspired countless others facing similar challenges, reminding them that strength is not defined by perfection but by perseverance. 34. Why was Lisa’s condition particularly overwhelming to her? A. She had always relied heavily on others for support. B. Her career required her to be physically active. C. Her condition was diagnosed at an unusually young age. D. She was unprepared for the sudden loss of independence. 35. How did keeping a journal help Lisa during her recovery? A. It allowed her to improve her writing skills. B. It helped her identify the causes of her condition. C. It provided her with a sense of emotional relief and clarity. D. It gave her a way to communicate when she couldn’t speak. 36. What was the key insight Lisa gained from her journal entries? A. Writing about her struggles improved her emotional health. B Focusing on small victories kept her motivated. C. Rapid recovery was less important than steady progress. D. Setting ambitious goals was the key to success. 37. What does Lisa’s story primarily teach us? A. Physical recovery depends largely on mental resilience. B. Journaling is essential for overcoming challenges. C. Medical knowledge is crucial for personal growth. D. Support from others is the most important factor in recovery. C Giving blood regularly may not just be saving the lives of other people, it could also be improving your own blood’s health at a genetic level, according to a new study. A team of researchers compared samples from 217 men who had given blood more than 100 times in their lives, to samples from 212 men who had donated less than 10 times, to look for any variance in blood health. While the differences were subtle, the frequent donors’ blood was more likely to have beneficial mutations (突变) in a gene called DNMT3A. Other mutations in DNMT3A have been previously linked to blood cancer. “Our work is a fascinating example of how our genes interact with the environment as we age,” says stem cell biologist Dominique Bonnet, from The Francis Crick Institute in the UK. Specifically, the team looked at blood stem cells, which produce more blood cells on demand. As we get older, these mechanisms can start to break down, leading to problems with blood cancers such as leukemia (白血病). Blood loss triggers the production of the hormone erythropoietin (促红细胞生成素激素). In lab tests on blood stem cells treated with erythropoietin, the researchers found those with the DNMT3A mutation produced blood faster than those without the mutation. This suggests frequent blood loss leads to more production of the beneficial mutations (突变)blood cells. Research in mice shows the DNMT3A mutation results in healthier blood levels after the stress of blood loss. “Activities that put low levels of stress on blood cell production allow our blood stem cells to renew and we think this favors mutations that further promote stem cell growth rather than disease,” says Bonnet. However, there are limitations to consider. Blood donors are more likely to be healthier anyway (it’s a condition of giving blood), so figuring out any additional health benefit is tricky, because it might actually come from being in better shape to begin with. “Our sample size is quite modest, so we can’t say that blood donation definitely decreases the occurrence of pre-leukemic mutations,” says Bonnet. In the US, there’s such an urgent need for blood donors that someone needs blood or platelets (small fragments in blood) every two seconds. Having healthier blood is an added bonus. While waiting for more detailed studies to confirm these findings, the study tells us more about how blood cancers can get started in the first place. “We’re now aiming to work out how these different types of mutations play a role in developing leukemia or not, and whether they can be targeted therapeutics,” says stem cell biologist Hector Huerga Encabo, from the Francis Crick Institute. 38. What was the primary focus of the study mentioned in the passage? A. The genetic differences between frequent and occasional blood donors. B. The role of erythropoietin in blood cell production. C. The relationship between blood donation and leukemia. D. The therapeutic applications of DNMT3A mutations 39. According to the research, blood loss affects blood stem cells in that ______. A. It triggers the production of cancerous cells in the DNMT3A gene B. It accelerates the growth of cells with beneficial DNMT3A mutations C. It benefits the overall health condition of the donors D. It weakens the regenerative capacity of blood stem cells 40. What limitation does the study acknowledge? A. Donors’ genetic backgrounds were not fully accounted for. B. Donors’ pre-existing health conditions might influence results. C. Erythropoietin levels were not measured in the experiment. D. Mouse models cannot accurately reflect human genetic mechanisms. 41. Based on the passage, the research team’s next goal is ______. A. to develop a new drug targeting DNMT3A mutations B. to conduct large-scale human trials of erythropoietin therapy C. to determine which DNMT3A mutations directly cause leukemia D. to analyze environmental factors influencing blood donation behavior D Female role models are having a moment. In the United States, there is a female vice president. The women’s soccer team is fighting a public, uphill battle for equal pay. Women are even making their way into what had seemed a permanent men’s club: the senior operation ranks of the armed forces. Role models inspire people by showing what is actually possible. Research supports that it works: these pioneers not only help us imagine where we might go but also map out the path there. Role models have also been shown to have a bigger impact on women and underrepresented communities— those who have not easily achieved their goals. Seeing more women in the world of science, girls of today are more likely, when asked to draw a scientist, to draw a woman than those in past decades. Even one role model can benefit a child, helping them perform better in school and maintain a positive attitude. However, the idea of “good role models” needs an update, especially when it comes to girls; otherwise the endless stream of shining shots of achievement they see can actually lead to self-doubt. In addition to role models, our work on girls and the process of building confidence has found that what girls really need are “work in progress” models. Girls tend to judge themselves harshly and suffer from perfectionism. They need to see the struggles and failures in their role models, as well as great perseverance. Anything that suggests success effortlessly achieved can be discouraged Helping girls see the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary is a good solution to unrealistic expectations. “Everyday heroes have a special impact,” said the child psychologist Bonnie Zucker. “Take a young girl who has to shoulder-the-responsibility for raising her brothers or sisters for some reason. She might not have attractive social media presence, but her bravery, devotion, and emotional labor are, in fact, heroic.” 42. What can we infer about role models from Paragraph 2? A. They give us realistic guides to success. B. They help us know more outstanding people. C. They are preferred by female groups. D. They show us the value of keeping learning. 43. What influence can the shots of achievement have on girls? A. Broadening their minds. B. Inspiring them to dream big. C. Driving them to work harder. D. Making them doubt themselves. 44. Why do girls need “work in progress” models? A. They make them achieve success quickly. B. They help them accept their imperfect selves. C. They teach them to be strict with themselves. D. They encourage them to follow their dreams. 45. What does the author imply by mentioning Bonnie Zucher’s words? A Many girls’ expectations are unrealistic. B. Girls have a strong sense of responsibility. C. Girls can follow heroic examples in daily life. D. Social activities are of great importance to girls. 第II卷 非选择题(共25分) 第一部分 阅读表达(共 5 小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 From time to time, life might provide a person with the present of a moment that changes everything. As for me, that came on a plane home in January, 2009. Frankly, as a lawyer, I specialized in corporate law in oil and gas projects. In fact, I’d grown to hate my job. It involved too much paperwork and loads of traveling, which I thought was fairly exhausting. Actually, becoming a lawyer was unintended. I loved my school but it was competitive and students were destined for a good university, and then a graduate plan. That was the track I was on. After graduation, I became a lawyer, but that just made me trapped. I wanted to make a difference, but I had no idea what else I could do. On that life-changing flight, I asked a stewardess to bring me a hot drink. When she returned, I couldn’t help crying. Hugging me, she said, “I don’t know what’s wrong but if you’re crying in business class, you need to change your life.” Those words had a great effect on me. I couldn’t carry on in a job that made me so uncomfortable. After much reflection, I resigned 18 months later. The last time I’d been happy was when I was volunteering at a school. Because of that, my friend Sophia kept telling me I’d love teaching. Then I contacted four schools and became a teacher in the end. No amount of planning would have prepared me for my first day as a teacher. It was stressful, but as I became familiar with the curriculum, I relaxed. Five years on, I’m head of department. Watching my students develop is so rewarding and results day makes me burst with pride. I used to feel scared about the thought of becoming a more senior lawyer, but I’m so positive about the opportunities teaching can offer. I earn less now but I become richer in many ways. Every single day, I feel excited to go to work. 46. Why did the author dislike her job? (no more than 15 words) ____________________________________________________ 47.

I’m here in China as an exchange student. Everything is unforgettable and I’m really enjoying my time here, but there’s something that’s been confusing me a bit. I noticed that when people greet each other on the street, they often say things like “Chī le ma?” (Have you eaten?) or “Qù nǎ lǐ?” (Where are you going?). I find these greetings really interesting, but I’m not quite sure what they mean or how to answer them probably. I’d love to learn more. And hope we can meet up some time. Yours, Chris 注意： 1. 词数不少于100； 2. 可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； 3. 回信内容应包括对方想了解的内容，且合理交际。 Dear Chris, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best regards, Li Jin 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
