This program places students directly into the practical world of urban development, offering them a chance to contribute to real community projects and build a standout (突出的，出类拔萃的) record of their achievements for their future university applications though it provides no payment. A Day in the Life of a YUPP Participant A typical day begins with a team meeting focused on working together to discuss project goals, followed by hands-on fieldwork or data analysis sessions. Students might spend their morning conducting traffic flow observations at a local intersection (十字路口), then use specialized software in the afternoon to model potential improvements. The program also schedules weekly video conferences with professional urban planners and civil engineers. Requirements and Commitment The program is open to students who are at least 15 years old and lived within the city. Applicants must demonstrate a strong commitment to the program’s full duration, which runs from July through September. This ensures a productive experience for all participants.

From a very young age, she loved languages. In fourth grade, she began learning French. “I was always very good at these classes, and I enjoyed them very much,” Alkashef says. Her love of languages continued into high school, where she began training to be a translator. Now she interprets and translates for people professionally. Alkashef has been a translator for 20 years. She’s a member of the American Translators Association board of directors, and is a certified Arabic-to-English translator, a certified court interpreter, and a conference interpreter. Most interpreters and translators are freelancers, which means they’re not employed as staff for an organization or company. “Being a freelancer is always fun, because every week is different, and the topics are always different,” she says. One day you are translating a document about clean water, and the next day, you are in court, interpreting a complicated case. The following day, you’re at a conference about international peace, she adds. Alkashef has interpreted at court cases and film festivals, and at political events with people such as presidents and kings. The work can be exciting. “However, interpreters speak in the first person,” Alkashef says. “When they say something terrible, your subconscious (潜意识) does not understand it is somebody else’s story. So interpreters come home with this burden, and they have to do self-care to take care of their mental health.” Alkashef is most grateful that through her work, she’s able to help others. “It’s more than just the words. The interpreter brings an understanding of the cultures, of history, of a lot of things,” she says. Over the years, Alkashef has learned that cultures and languages are not as different from one another as they might seem. “We share more than what we think,” she says. Her advice to would-be interpreters and translators is to work hard constantly, learn as much as you can, and keep up with technology, especially with the development of AI. 4 What prepared Alkashef for her career as a translator and interpreter? A. Her early passion and training. B. Her multiple cultural identities. C. Her professional work experience. D. Her natural gift for her native language. 5. What is Paragraph 3 mainly discussing regarding freelancers? A. Their historical backgrounds. B. Their career advancements. C. Their strictdaily routines. D. Their work characteristics. 6. What can be learnt about Alkashef’s job? A. It possesses a two-sided nature. B. It makes her a famous freelancer. C. It teaches her to bear others’ pressure. D. It has a psychological adjustment effect. 7. Which is one of Alkashef’s career values? A. Quitting short-term success in any job. B. Valuing the culture’s voice in every word. C. Advancing with the times at all moments. D Balancing ambition and work-life harmony. C A new study finds something special about Australia’s crocodiles (鳄鱼), which is related to climate change. “On hot nights, the water stays warm, but the air cools down. So, crocodiles will move onto the river bank to cool off,” the study writes. “During the day, they might dive down really deep where it’s a bit cooler. Or they might lie on the bank in the shade.” Researchers tracked 203 crocodiles at the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve in northern Queensland to test whether these strategies help during extreme heat. They collected data on crocodile body temperature, daily distance traveled and diving behavior, then compared that to local temperatures. Ultimately, they discovered more. From 2008 to 2023, average air temperatures increased by between 0.14 and 0.54° F-and the animals’ average body temperature also rose during that period, and their performance decreases. “During very hot years, we’re finding that their body temperatures are starting to reach points where we know their behavior is impacted,” says study lead author Kaitlin Barham, a wildlife ecology researcher. At the hottest temperatures, crocodiles spent less time diving and more time performing cooling behaviors. Since crocodiles are hunters that rely on remaining underwater for the element of surprise, this can affect their capacity to catch their food. “Every minute they’re up on the bank trying to cool down is a minute they’re not spending traveling, reproducing or looking for food,” Barham adds. The current research focused on the northern part of the crocodiles’ range, and the scientists would like to see more analysis on the southern parts. “It would be really interesting to see how crocodiles that live at the southern part of their range in Australia, where they’re a bit cooler, deal with similar heat waves,” says Barham to Imma Perfetto at Cosmos Magazine. So far, scientists haven’t uncovered any evidence that the northern crocodiles are moving south to seek cooler temperatures. “We hope they have the capacity to defend themselves against the worst of the heat our current climate throws at them, without leaving their local river system,” the team writes. 8. Why did researchers track the 203 crocodiles originally? A. To collect their body temperatures. B. To assess their cooling approaches. C. To study their physical conditions. D. To monitor their diving behaviors. 9. What’s the result of crocodiles’ shorter dive times? A. Their reproduction rate falls. B. Their travel distance increases. C. Their hunting ability is affected. D. Their temperatures rise quickly. 10. What do the scientists hope to do? A. Study the southern crocodiles’ behaviors. B. Move the northern crocodiles to the south. C. Extend the research time on the crocodiles. D. Help the crocodiles to adapt to heat waves. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. Crocodiles’ Mild Responses to Temperature B. Temperature’s Negative Impacts on Crocodiles C. Temperature Changes in Crocodiles’ Habitats D. Crocodiles’ Defense of Their Body Temperature D Major biotech (生物技术) companies that produce a lot of made-to-order DNA for scientists have protections in place to keep dangerous biological material out of the hands of would-be harmful people. But now, a new study has demonstrated how AI could be used to easily get around those biosafety processes. A team of AI researchers found that protein-design tools could be used to “paraphrase” the DNA codes of poisonous proteins. “Re-writing them in ways that could preserve their structure, and potentially their function,” says Eric Horvitz, Microsoft’s chief scientific officer. Computer scientists used AI to generate DNA codes for more than 75,000 variants (变体) of dangerous proteins-and firewalls used by DNA makers weren’t consistently able to catch them. “To our concern,” says Horvitz, “they slipped past the biosecurity screening systems used worldwide by DNA companies to flag dangerous orders.” A fix was quickly written and applied to the biosecurity screening software. But it’s not perfect — it still couldn’t ascertain some variants. “AI-powered protein design is one of science’s most exciting frontiers. We’re seeing advances in medicine and public health,” says HIorvitz. “Yet like many powerful technologies, these tools can be misused.” Biologists have debated whether to openly publish certain experimental results, though open discussions are science’s lifeblood. The researchers and the journal behind this study held back some information and will restrict access to their data and software. They enlisted a non-profit third party to decide who has a reasonable need to know. “This is the first time such a model has been employed to manage risks of sharing dangerous information in a scientific publication,” says Horvitz. Scientists, worried about future biosecurity threats, praised this work. “My overall reaction to that was favorable,” says scientist Arturo Casadevall. “Here we have a system in which we are identifying weak points. And what you’re seeing is an attempt to correct known weak points. But what are the weak points that we don’t know about and that will require future corrections?” says Casadevall. 12. How does AI challenge the existing biosecurity defenses? A. By inventing new protein-design tools. B. By monitoring the screening systems. C. By improving the firewalls’ consistency. D By changing harmful DNA instructions. 13. What does the underlined word “ascertain” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Protect. B. Hide. C. Produce. D. Detect. 14. What is the scientists’ pioneering attempt in biosafety? A. They supported open publication fully. B. They controlled key information access. C. They allowed relevant open discussions. D They invested heavily in medicine and health. 15. What is Casadevall’s attitude to future biosafety? A. Unclear. B. Confident. C. Concerned. D. Doubtful. 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。 A rewilding trip is a special kind of travel that helps restore nature while letting people connect with the wild. ____16____ It takes you to places where ecosystems are being brought back to life, showing you why protecting wildlife matters. Rewilding trips first started in European countryside decades ago. Back then, some farmers and nature lovers worked together to turn abandoned farmlands into wild areas. Over time, more people noticed these restored projects and wanted to visit. ____17____ These once-transformed spaces later became key destinations for rewilding travel. A typical example is Knepp in England, where a former farmland has become a 3,500-acre wild space. ____18____ You can also wander along 16 miles of quiet paths, stay in small wooden huts, and even share simple barbecues with other travelers in the woods. These trips aren’t just about watching nature. ____19____ With guides, you can learn to tell different wild plants apart, practice easy survival skills like building a small shelter, or help monitor animal tracks to see which creatures have passed by. Sometimes, you can even take simple notes on the plants or birds you see to help with local nature records. ____20____ They let you see how small actions restore ecosystems, and leave you with a deeper love for the wild. For local communities, they bring small but steady income from guiding or simple stays, keeping hometowns lively. For travelers, there’s no need for phones or laptops here, so they can fully focus on the calm sounds and sights of the natural world around them. A. Rewilding trips help both nature and people. B. Then, such trips gradually grew in popularity worldwide. C. Here, you can spot various rare animals living a happy life. D. This kind of trip is quite different from staying in fancy hotels. E. Travelers ease stress from busy study or work through the trips. F. You often get to join in gentle, fun activities too during the trips. G. Rewilding trips also offer a hopeful response to the climate crisis. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was 14, I found an old watch of my mother’s that had stopped working. ____21____ to fix it as a surprise, I carefully opened its back cover with a small screwdriver (螺丝刀).

The first thing he noticed when he joined the class last semester was the old wooden easel (画架) by the window. Ms Morgan had talked about it so often that every student knew its story-it was a gift from her dearest workmate, Mrs Hale, who retired after 30years of teaching art here. That easel was more than just wood and nails. It was covered with tiny signatures of students from past years-from the kids who’d gone on to study art in college. Every morning, Ms Morgan would wipe its surface with a soft cloth, careful not to damage the names. Last month, when a rainstorm leaked through the window, she’d rushed to move it to safety, saying, ”This easel’s held more dreams than any textbook in this room.” As Vince carried a box of paintbrushes and a tube of paint, he tripped slightly, and his left arm crashed into the easel. It fell down! One of the easel’s legs, which had been joined with wood glue, broke into two pieces. Some signatures on the easel were also defaced (污损). His heart sank like a stone. He dropped to his knees, fingers brushing the familiar signatures, and felt a cold panic spread through his back. His mum had told him once about a time she’d broken her neighbor’s plant pot as a kid and hidden it-she’d felt guilty for weeks, her stomach hurting every time she passed the neighbor’s yard. “Avoiding the truth doesn’t fix what’s broken,” she’d said. Vince replayed that line in his head, but the thought of Ms Morgan’s sad face made his throat tight. He stood up, staring at the broken leg, and even considered dragging the easel into the storage room-maybe no one would find it right away. All afternoon, he sat through math and history class with that image stuck in his head, unable to focus on anything. 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。 Paragraph 1: By the end of school, Vince dragged his feet to Ms Morgan’s office. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Feeling a weight lifted, Vince followed Ms Morgan’s advice to repair the easel together. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年新未来大联考高三年级11月联合测评 英语试题 (试卷满分：150分 考试用时：120分钟) 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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?

From a very young age, she loved languages. In fourth grade, she began learning French. “I was always very good at these classes, and I enjoyed them very much,” Alkashef says. Her love of languages continued into high school, where she began training to be a translator. Now she interprets and translates for people professionally. Alkashef has been a translator for 20 years. She’s a member of the American Translators Association board of directors, and is a certified Arabic-to-English translator, a certified court interpreter, and a conference interpreter. Most interpreters and translators are freelancers, which means they’re not employed as staff for an organization or company. “Being a freelancer is always fun, because every week is different, and the topics are always different,” she says. One day you are translating a document about clean water, and the next day, you are in court, interpreting a complicated case. The following day, you’re at a conference about international peace, she adds. Alkashef has interpreted at court cases and film festivals, and at political events with people such as presidents and kings. The work can be exciting. “However, interpreters speak in the first person,” Alkashef says. “When they say something terrible, your subconscious (潜意识) does not understand it is somebody else’s story. So interpreters come home with this burden, and they have to do self-care to take care of their mental health.” Alkashef is most grateful that through her work, she’s able to help others. “It’s more than just the words. The interpreter brings an understanding of the cultures, of history, of a lot of things,” she says. Over the years, Alkashef has learned that cultures and languages are not as different from one another as they might seem. “We share more than what we think,” she says. Her advice to would-be interpreters and translators is to work hard constantly, learn as much as you can, and keep up with technology, especially with the development of AI. 4. What prepared Alkashef for her career as a translator and interpreter? A. Her early passion and training. B. Her multiple cultural identities. C. Her professional work experience. D. Her natural gift for her native language. 5. What is Paragraph 3 mainly discussing regarding freelancers? A. Their historical backgrounds. B. Their career advancements. C. Their strictdaily routines. D. Their work characteristics. 6. What can be learnt about Alkashef’s job? A. It possesses a two-sided nature. B. It makes her a famous freelancer. C. It teaches her to bear others’ pressure. D. It has a psychological adjustment effect. 7. Which is one of Alkashef’s career values? A. Quitting short-term success in any job. B. Valuing the culture’s voice in every word. C. Advancing with the times at all moments. D. Balancing ambition and work-life harmony. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Yasmin Alkashef凭借对语言的热爱和早期训练，成为了一名专业的翻译和口译员，并介绍了她的工作特点、挑战以及职业价值观。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“From a very young age, she loved languages. In fourth grade, she began learning French. “I was always very good at these classes, and I enjoyed them very much,” Alkashef says. Her love of languages continued into high school, where she began training to be a translator. (从很小的时候起，她就热爱语言。四年级时，她开始学习法语。“我在这些课上总是表现得很好，而且我非常喜欢它们，”Alkashef说。她对语言的热爱一直延续到高中，在那里她开始接受成为翻译的培训)”可知，Alkashef早期对语言的热爱和接受的相关培训为她日后的翻译和口译事业做好了准备。故选A项。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Most interpreters and translators are freelancers, which means they’re not employed as staff for an organization or company. “Being a freelancer is always fun, because every week is different, and the topics are always different,” she says. One day you are translating a document about clean water, and the next day, you are in court, interpreting a complicated case. The following day, you’re at a conference about international peace, she adds. (大多数口译员和笔译员都是自由职业者，这意味着他们不是作为组织或公司的员工被雇佣的。“做自由职业者总是很有趣，因为每周都不一样，主题也总是不一样，”她说。她说：“有一天你在翻译一份关于清洁水的文件，第二天你就在法庭上，解释一个复杂的案件。第二天，你参加一个关于国际和平的会议)”可知，第三段主要讨论了自由职业者的工作特点，即每周的工作内容和主题都不同，充满变化。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The work can be exciting. “However, interpreters speak in the first person,” Alkashef says. “When they say something terrible, your subconscious (潜意识) does not understand it is somebody else’s story. So interpreters come home with this burden, and they have to do self-care to take care of their mental health. (这份工作可能会令人兴奋。“然而，口译员是以第一人称说话的，”Alkashef说。“当他们说一些可怕的事情时，你的潜意识不会明白这是别人的故事。所以口译员带着这种负担回家，他们必须进行自我照顾来照顾自己的心理健康)”可知，Alkashef的工作既令人兴奋又具有挑战性，需要关注自己的心理健康，由此可推知，她的工作具有两面性。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Her advice to would-be interpreters and translators is to work hard constantly, learn as much as you can, and keep up with technology, especially with the development of AI. (她对未来想成为口译员和笔译员的人的建议是不断努力工作，尽可能多地学习，跟上技术的发展，尤其是人工智能的发展)”可知，Alkashef认为口译员和笔译员应该不断学习，跟上时代的发展，由此可推知，不断与时俱进是她的职业价值观之一。故选C项。 C A new study finds something special about Australia’s crocodiles (鳄鱼), which is related to climate change. “On hot nights, the water stays warm, but the air cools down. So, crocodiles will move onto the river bank to cool off,” the study writes. “During the day, they might dive down really deep where it’s a bit cooler. Or they might lie on the bank in the shade.” Researchers tracked 203 crocodiles at the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve in northern Queensland to test whether these strategies help during extreme heat. They collected data on crocodile body temperature, daily distance traveled and diving behavior, then compared that to local temperatures. Ultimately, they discovered more. From 2008 to 2023, average air temperatures increased by between 0.14 and 0.54° F-and the animals’ average body temperature also rose during that period, and their performance decreases. “During very hot years, we’re finding that their body temperatures are starting to reach points where we know their behavior is impacted,” says study lead author Kaitlin Barham, a wildlife ecology researcher. At the hottest temperatures, crocodiles spent less time diving and more time performing cooling behaviors. Since crocodiles are hunters that rely on remaining underwater for the element of surprise, this can affect their capacity to catch their food. “Every minute they’re up on the bank trying to cool down is a minute they’re not spending traveling, reproducing or looking for food,” Barham adds. The current research focused on the northern part of the crocodiles’ range, and the scientists would like to see more analysis on the southern parts. “It would be really interesting to see how crocodiles that live at the southern part of their range in Australia, where they’re a bit cooler, deal with similar heat waves,” says Barham to Imma Perfetto at Cosmos Magazine. So far, scientists haven’t uncovered any evidence that the northern crocodiles are moving south to seek cooler temperatures. “We hope they have the capacity to defend themselves against the worst of the heat our current climate throws at them, without leaving their local river system,” the team writes. 8. Why did researchers track the 203 crocodiles originally? A. To collect their body temperatures. B. To assess their cooling approaches. C. To study their physical conditions. D. To monitor their diving behaviors. 9. What’s the result of crocodiles’ shorter dive times? A. Their reproduction rate falls. B. Their travel distance increases. C. Their hunting ability is affected. D. Their temperatures rise quickly. 10. What do the scientists hope to do? A. Study the southern crocodiles’ behaviors. B. Move the northern crocodiles to the south. C. Extend the research time on the crocodiles. D. Help the crocodiles to adapt to heat waves. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. Crocodiles’ Mild Responses to Temperature B. Temperature’s Negative Impacts on Crocodiles C. Temperature Changes in Crocodiles’ Habitats D. Crocodiles’ Defense of Their Body Temperature 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项新研究发现澳大利亚的鳄鱼与气候变化有关的一些特殊行为，以及气候变化对鳄鱼产生的影响，同时提到科学家希望进一步研究南部鳄鱼的情况。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Researchers tracked 203 crocodiles at the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve in northern Queensland to test whether these strategies help during extreme heat. (研究人员在昆士兰州北部的史蒂夫·欧文野生动物保护区追踪了203只鳄鱼，以测试在极端高温下这些策略是否有效)”可知，研究人员追踪这203只鳄鱼原本是为了评估它们的降温方法是否有效。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“At the hottest temperatures, crocodiles spent less time diving and more time performing cooling behaviors. Since crocodiles are hunters that rely on remaining underwater for the element of surprise, this can affect their capacity to catch their food. (在极端高温下，鳄鱼会减少潜水时间，增加降温行为频率。由于鳄鱼是靠潜伏水下发动突袭的捕猎者，这种行为变化会直接影响其捕食能力)”可知，鳄鱼潜水时间缩短会影响它们的捕猎能力。故选C项。 10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“The current research focused on the northern part of the crocodiles’ range, and the scientists would like to see more analysis on the southern parts. “It would be really interesting to see how crocodiles that live at the southern part of their range in Australia, where they’re a bit cooler, deal with similar heat waves,” says Barham to Imma Perfetto at Cosmos Magazine. (目前的研究集中在鳄鱼活动范围的北部，科学家们希望看到更多关于南部的研究分析。Barham在接受《宇宙》杂志的Imma Perfetto采访时说：“看看生活在澳大利亚南部活动范围、气候稍凉爽一些的鳄鱼如何应对类似的热浪，将会非常有趣。”)”可推知，科学家们希望研究南部鳄鱼的行为。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“A new study finds something special about Australia’s crocodiles (鳄鱼), which is related to climate change. (一项新研究发现澳大利亚的鳄鱼有一些与气候变化有关的特殊之处)”和第四段中“At the hottest temperatures, crocodiles spent less time diving and more time performing cooling behaviors. Since crocodiles are hunters that rely on remaining underwater for the element of surprise, this can affect their capacity to catch their food. “Every minute they’re up on the bank trying to cool down is a minute they’re not spending traveling, reproducing or looking for food,” Barham adds.(在气温最高时，鳄鱼会减少潜水时间，增加降温行为频率。由于鳄鱼是靠潜伏水下发动突袭的捕猎者，这种行为变化会直接影响其捕食能力。“它们在岸上降温的每一分钟，都是本可用于迁徙、繁殖或觅食的时间，”巴勒姆补充道)”可知，本文主要介绍了一项新研究发现澳大利亚的鳄鱼与气候变化有关的一些特殊行为，以及气候变化对鳄鱼产生的负面影响，B项“温度对鳄鱼的负面影响”是文章内容的概括，最适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 D Major biotech (生物技术) companies that produce a lot of made-to-order DNA for scientists have protections in place to keep dangerous biological material out of the hands of would-be harmful people. But now, a new study has demonstrated how AI could be used to easily get around those biosafety processes. A team of AI researchers found that protein-design tools could be used to “paraphrase” the DNA codes of poisonous proteins. “Re-writing them in ways that could preserve their structure, and potentially their function,” says Eric Horvitz, Microsoft’s chief scientific officer. Computer scientists used AI to generate DNA codes for more than 75,000 variants (变体) of dangerous proteins-and firewalls used by DNA makers weren’t consistently able to catch them. “To our concern,” says Horvitz, “they slipped past the biosecurity screening systems used worldwide by DNA companies to flag dangerous orders.” A fix was quickly written and applied to the biosecurity screening software. But it’s not perfect — it still couldn’t ascertain some variants. “AI-powered protein design is one of science’s most exciting frontiers. We’re seeing advances in medicine and public health,” says HIorvitz. “Yet like many powerful technologies, these tools can be misused.” Biologists have debated whether to openly publish certain experimental results, though open discussions are science’s lifeblood. The researchers and the journal behind this study held back some information and will restrict access to their data and software. They enlisted a non-profit third party to decide who has a reasonable need to know. “This is the first time such a model has been employed to manage risks of sharing dangerous information in a scientific publication,” says Horvitz. Scientists, worried about future biosecurity threats, praised this work. “My overall reaction to that was favorable,” says scientist Arturo Casadevall. “Here we have a system in which we are identifying weak points. And what you’re seeing is an attempt to correct known weak points. But what are the weak points that we don’t know about and that will require future corrections?” says Casadevall. 12. How does AI challenge the existing biosecurity defenses? A. By inventing new protein-design tools. B. By monitoring the screening systems. C. By improving the firewalls’ consistency. D. By changing harmful DNA instructions. 13. What does the underlined word “ascertain” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Protect. B. Hide. C. Produce. D. Detect. 14. What is the scientists’ pioneering attempt in biosafety? A They supported open publication fully. B. They controlled key information access. C. They allowed relevant open discussions. D. They invested heavily in medicine and health. 15. What is Casadevall’s attitude to future biosafety? A. Unclear. B. Confident. C. Concerned. D. Doubtful. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人工智能对现有生物安全防御的挑战，以及科学家们在生物安全方面所做出的开创性尝试，同时表达了科学家对未来生物安全的担忧。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A team of AI researchers found that protein-design tools could be used to “paraphrase” the DNA codes of poisonous proteins. “Re-writing them in ways that could preserve their structure, and potentially their function,” says Eric Horvitz, Microsoft’s chief scientific officer. (一支人工智能研究团队发现，蛋白质设计工具可被用于“重新表述”有毒蛋白质的DNA密码。微软首席科学官埃里克·霍维茨表示：“通过保留其结构和潜在功能的方式对这些编码进行重写，将成为可能。”)”可知，人工智能通过改变有害的DNA指令来挑战现有的生物安全防御。故选D项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Computer scientists used AI to generate DNA codes for more than 75,000 variants (变体) of dangerous proteins-and firewalls used by DNA makers weren’t consistently able to catch them. (计算机科学家利用人工智能生成了75000多种危险蛋白质变体的DNA密码，而DNA制造商使用的防火墙并不能始终识别它们)”和“A fix was quickly written and applied to the biosecurity screening software. But it’s not perfect — it still couldn’t ascertain some variants. (研究人员很快编写了一个修复程序并应用到生物安全筛查软件中。但它并不完美，它仍然无法ascertain一些变体)”可知，修复程序虽然应用到了生物安全筛查软件中，但它并不完美，即防火墙不能始终检测并识别出一些变体。故划线词“ascertain”意为“检测”，与D项“Detect”意思一致。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The researchers and the journal behind this study held back some information and will restrict access to their data and software. They enlisted a non-profit third party to decide who has a reasonable need to know. (该研究团队及相关期刊暂未公布全部信息，并将限制数据与软件的访问权限。他们委托非营利第三方机构来审定具有合理知情需求的人员资格)”可知，科学家们在生物安全方面所做出的开创性尝试是控制关键信息的访问。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Casadevall的话“But what are the weak points that we don’t know about and that will require future corrections? (但那些尚未被认知、有待未来修正的薄弱环节究竟何在？)”可推知，Casadevall认为一些问题并不明确，对未来生物安全持担忧的态度。故选C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。 A rewilding trip is a special kind of travel that helps restore nature while letting people connect with the wild. ____16____ It takes you to places where ecosystems are being brought back to life, showing you why protecting wildlife matters. Rewilding trips first started in European countryside decades ago. Back then, some farmers and nature lovers worked together to turn abandoned farmlands into wild areas. Over time, more people noticed these restored projects and wanted to visit. ____17____ These once-transformed spaces later became key destinations for rewilding travel.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种特殊旅行方式——再野化旅行。 【16题详解】 上文“A rewilding trip is a special kind of travel that helps restore nature while letting people connect with the wild.(再野化旅行是一种特殊的旅行，它有助于恢复自然，同时让人们与大自然联系在一起。)”定义了“再野化旅行”是帮助恢复自然同时让人们与自然建立联系的旅行。D项“这种旅行与住豪华酒店大不相同”通过对比，进一步阐明了此类旅行的独特性质。选项中的“this kind of trip”呼应上文中的“a rewilding trip”。故选D。 【17题详解】 上文“Rewilding trips first started in European countryside decades ago. Back then, some farmers and nature lovers worked together to turn abandoned farmlands into wild areas. Over time, more people noticed these restored projects and wanted to visit.(再野化旅行最早始于数十年前的欧洲乡村。当时，一些农民与自然爱好者携手合作，将废弃的农田改造为野生区域。随着时间的推移，越来越多人关注到这些生态修复项目，并且希望前往游览。)”提到越来越多的人注意到这些恢复项目并想去参观。B项“然后，这类旅行逐渐在世界范围内流行起来”承接上文，将现象从局部推广到全球。选项中的“then”照应上文中的“first”、“over time”。故选B。 【18题详解】 上文“A typical example is Knepp in England, where a former farmland has become a 3,500-acre wild space.(一个典型的例子是英国Knepp，那里曾经是一片农田，现在已经成为了一个3500英亩的野生空间。)”以英国的Knepp为例，介绍了一片由农田改造而成的野外空间。C项“在这里，你可以看到各种珍稀动物过着幸福的生活”具体描绘了在这个野外空间里能观察到的景象，丰富了例证的内容，并自然地引出下文“You can also wander along 16 miles of quiet paths, stay in small wooden huts, and even share simple barbecues with other travelers in the woods.(你也可以沿着16英里的安静小路漫步，住在小木屋里，甚至和其他旅行者一起在树林里烧烤)”关于旅行者可以参与的其他活动的介绍。选项中的“you can…”呼应下文中的“You can also…”。故选C。 【19题详解】 上文“These trips aren’t just about watching nature.(这些旅行不仅仅是关于观赏自然。)”提到这些旅行不仅仅是观察大自然。F项“在这些旅行中，你经常有机会参加一些温和、有趣的活动”说明了除了观察大自然之外，旅行者还能亲身参与其中，从而引出下文列举的具体活动。选项中的“too”呼应上文中的“aren’t just about”。故选F。 【20题详解】 空处位于本段的首句，是对全段的总结。下文“They let you see how small actions restore ecosystems, and leave you with a deeper love for the wild. For local communities, they bring small but steady income from guiding or simple stays, keeping hometowns lively. For travelers, there’s no need for phones or laptops here, so they can fully focus on the calm sounds and sights of the natural world around them.(这类旅行能让你见证细微行动如何修复生态系统，也会让你对野外自然产生更深的热爱。对当地社区而言，这类旅行通过提供向导服务或简易住宿，为居民带来数额虽小却稳定的收入，让家乡保持生机与活力。对旅行者来说，在这里无需使用手机或笔记本电脑，因此他们能全身心沉浸于周遭自然世界的静谧声响与景致之中。)”分别从生态系统、当地社区和旅行者三个角度阐述了再野化旅行的好处。A项“再野化旅行对大自然和人类都有帮助”高度概括了下文将要论述的核心内容，起到了总领全段的作用。下文中的“they”指代该项中的“rewilding trips”。故选A。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was 14, I found an old watch of my mother’s that had stopped working. ____21____ to fix it as a surprise, I carefully opened its back cover with a small screwdriver (螺丝刀).

The first thing he noticed when he joined the class last semester was the old wooden easel (画架) by the window. Ms Morgan had talked about it so often that every student knew its story-it was a gift from her dearest workmate, Mrs Hale, who retired after 30years of teaching art here. That easel was more than just wood and nails. It was covered with tiny signatures of students from past years-from the kids who’d gone on to study art in college. Every morning, Ms Morgan would wipe its surface with a soft cloth, careful not to damage the names. Last month, when a rainstorm leaked through the window, she’d rushed to move it to safety, saying, ”This easel’s held more dreams than any textbook in this room.” As Vince carried a box of paintbrushes and a tube of paint, he tripped slightly, and his left arm crashed into the easel. It fell down! One of the easel’s legs, which had been joined with wood glue, broke into two pieces. Some signatures on the easel were also defaced (污损). His heart sank like a stone. He dropped to his knees, fingers brushing the familiar signatures, and felt a cold panic spread through his back. His mum had told him once about a time she’d broken her neighbor’s plant pot as a kid and hidden it-she’d felt guilty for weeks, her stomach hurting every time she passed the neighbor’s yard. “Avoiding the truth doesn’t fix what’s broken,” she’d said. Vince replayed that line in his head, but the thought of Ms Morgan’s sad face made his throat tight. He stood up, staring at the broken leg, and even considered dragging the easel into the storage room-maybe no one would find it right away. All afternoon, he sat through math and history class with that image stuck in his head, unable to focus on anything. 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。 Paragraph 1: By the end of school, Vince dragged his feet to Ms Morgan’s office. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Feeling a weight lifted, Vince followed Ms Morgan’s advice to repair the easel together. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: By the end of school, Vince dragged his feet to Ms Morgan’s office. His heart was pounding loud. When Ms Morgan looked up from her papers, he said in a low voice, “I broke the easel — I tripped with paintbrushes and hit it. I’m so sorry. I know how much it means to you.” He stared at his shoes, waiting for anger, but Ms Morgan stood up and spoke softly. She told him she wasn’t angry, but proud he’d been honest, adding the easel was special, but honesty more precious, and suggested they fix it together with wood glue and paint. Feeling a weight lifted, Vince followed Ms Morgan’s advice to repair the easel together. They went to the art room. Vince fetched sandpaper to smooth broken leg’s edges, while Ms Morgan spread wood glue on pieces. She handed him a brush and they touched up defaced signatures with matching paint, then added a blue star by old ones. Vince said it still had a faint mark, and Ms Morgan smiled, “Honesty isn’t about never making mistakes. It’s about the courage to tell the truth when you do, and taking action to fix.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Vince在艺术课课后帮忙整理时，不小心碰倒了Morgan老师珍视的旧画架，这是退休同事Hale夫人所赠，上面有历届学生签名。Vince内心挣扎后最终选择向老师坦白，老师原谅并提议一起修复画架的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“放学时，Vince拖着沉重的脚步走向Morgan老师的办公室。”可知，第一段可描写Vince向老师坦白碰坏画架的过程、内心的紧张不安，以及老师的反应和提议。 ②由第二段首句内容“Vince感觉如释重负，听从Morgan老师的建议，和她一起修复画架。”可知，第二段可描写两人共同修复画架的具体过程，以及老师在过程中传递的关于诚实的道理。 2.续写线索：坦白过错—内心紧张—老师谅解—提议修复—共同修复—感悟道理 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①低声说：say in a low voice/whisper/murmur ②修复：fix/repair ③磨光：smooth/polish 情绪类 ①生气的：angry/irritated ②自豪的：proud/arrogant ③如释重负的：a weight lifted/relieved 【点睛】[高分句型1] He stared at his shoes, waiting for anger, but Ms Morgan stood up and spoke softly.(运用了现在分词短语作伴随状语) [高分句型2] She told him she wasn’t angry, but proud he’d been honest, adding the easel was special, but honesty more precious, and suggested they fix it together with wood glue and paint.(运用了多个省略that引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
