Among the many theories about Nancy, the most well known one is that Nancy is a long neck dinosaur that somehow survived after other dinosaurs died out. Some other people believe that the creature is actually an extremely large fish. Now the mystery of nessy may have no place to hide a new zeal. Professor is leading his international team to the lake next month. They plan to take some of the water and study genetic material from the leg to see what species live there. The fifty one year old professor says he does not believe the stories about nessy at all, but he wants to take people on an interesting trip and communicate some science to them along the way. The professor said that when creatures move in water, they leave small pieces of their DNA behind. He and his team will take water from different points around the lake and at different depth. After removing the in pure material from the water, they will compare the acquired D, N, A with all known species. He said they should have answers by the end of the year.

Through blurred vision, Leo saw a pair of boots stop beside them. The stranger, knelt down, her red overcoat spreading like a rose on the pavement. She pressed a silk scarf to Leo’s bleeding elbow while checking Lily’s shaking legs and then helped them up. “My daughter’s about her age,” she said softly. When Lily whispered “Mama,” the woman’s eyes softened. “You’re doing this alone, aren’t you?” He responded with a nod. Out of sympathy for him, she decided to offer a hand. She connected him to a program aiding single parents. The program offered care for kids when the parents were not available. During Leo’s evening deliveries, caregivers taught Lily nursery rhymes in a room painted with sunflowers, her tiny hands molding clay while his repaired bike carried meals across town. His phone received photos of Lily napping under a quilt, her cheeks rosy against doggie-dot pillows. As winter winds cut the streets, he pedaled steadily, knowing Lily was warm and sound in the cosy room thanks to those angelic helpers. A篇 21. C 根据文中“Huawei has announced the full open-source release of its Ascend chip software ecosystem, aiming to empower users to explore its deep potential and to undertake customized development independently.”可知，华为发布 CANN 的主要目 的是支持用户发掘其先进能力，C选项符合。 22. D 由“the shipping time between Peru and China has been reduced to around 23 days, significantly cutting shipping costs by over 20 percent.”可知，该航线缩短了运 输时间，降低了成本，实现了更高效的运输，D选项正确。 23. B 文中内容涉及华为的技术生态、高速公路建设、中秘贸易航线，这些都 与经济发展、商业往来相关，因此可能出现在报纸的经济版块，选B。 B篇 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了Donnie去参观爬行动物馆并和智斗鳄鱼，救出训练员的故事。24.C 细节推理题。根据文中Donnie has been crazy about reptiles可知。25.B细节推理题。根据文中她的手被鳄鱼咬住，并被带入水中可知。26.A 细节推理题。根据他的行为可推断出heroic,文中Donnie cautiously sat up and jumped off Darth可知careful。27.A主旨大意题。全文就是讲述Donnie去参观爬行动物馆并和智斗鳄鱼，救出训练员的故事。 C篇 28. B 文章第 1 段第 2-3 句提到 “Its solar panels were covered in dust, stopping it from working. But data from the lander, which captured signals from faint marsquakes to probe the planet’s interior, are still yielding fresh results.”。A 项 “仍在火星工作” 错误，原文 “stopping it from working”表明已停止工作；B项 “收集 了火星内部数据” 符合 “captured signals from faint marsquakes to probe the planet’s interior”；C 项 “太阳能板被火星地震损坏” 错误，原文 “covered in dust” 导致停止工作，与地震无关；D 选项 “首次发现火星固态内核” 错误，第 1 段 末提及 “另一项研究声称识别出固态内核”，未说 InSight首次发现，故 B 正确。 29. D 文章第 2 段围绕 “the planet is more or less like Earth than researchers expected” 展开，先后提到 “the martian mantle does not mix like Earth’s mantle” “Mars — like Earth — has a solid core”，通过火星与地球的对比推进内容：先总 述火星比预期更像地球，再分述火星地幔与地球地幔的不同（不混合 vs 混合） 以及火星内核与地球内核的相同（均有固态内核）。A项 “定义概念”、B项 “举 例子”、C项 “因果分析” 均不符合段落逻辑，D 选项 “对比对照” 正确。 30. C 文章后文解释 “On Earth... hundreds of seismic stations... But InSight had only a single seismic station... Both studies will face doubt”。 “open-and-shut case” 意为 “一目了然、毫 无争议的情况”，”Neither paper is an open-and-shut case” 即 “两篇论文都不是毫 无争议的”。A项 “未提供有用数据” 错误，原文第 1 段提及数据 “producing fresh results”；B 项 “证明火星内核非固态” 错误，第 2 段明确 “火星有固态内核”； C 项 “两篇论文的结论都并非完全确定” 符合后文 “Both studies will face doubt”；D 项 “已被多数科学家接受” 与 “face doubt” 矛盾，故 C 正确。 31. A 文章第 4 段最后两句指出“很多人对 ‘火星没有固态内核’ 感到满意”，即当研究提出 “火星有固态内核” 时，这些人 会 “不满、难以接受”。A项 “不可接受的” 符合 “upset many people”；B项 “冷 漠的”、C项 “满意的”（C 选项是对 “无内核” 的态度，而非 “有内核”）、D 项 “兴奋的” 均不符合，故 A 正确。 D篇 32. B 文章第 1 段第 2 句提到 “Duringthemid-20thcentury,marriages became more egalitarian as more women entered universities and the job market. But now, the trend of women partnering with educational equals is changing”，后文 “women partnering with educational equals”（女性与教育水平相当的人伴侣）是对前文 “egalitarian marriages” 的解释，且 “but” 表转折，说明现在 “教育平等” 的趋势 在变，故 “egalitarian” 意为 “平等的”。A项 “复杂的”、C项 “压抑的”、D项 “多 样的” 均不符合语境，B项 “平等的” 正确。 33. C 文章第3 段最后一句说明 “Polling expert Daniel A. Cox... found his interviews with the male participants discouraging — many were limited in their ability and willingness to be fully emotionally present and available”，破折号后内容 是对 “discouraging” 的解释 —— 男性 “在情感上完全投入和付出的能力与意 愿有限”。A项 “拒绝同类婚”、B项 “很少接受高等教育”、D项 “持传统女性角 色观点” 均未提及；C 选项 “缺乏完全投入和专注的能力” 与 “limited in their ability and willingness to be fully emotionally present and available” 一致，故选 C。 34. A 文章最后一段第 2-3 句提到 “The Atlantic noted shifting beliefs: Fewer people agreed a wife earning more than her husband causes problems. While hypogamous marriages used to be more likely to end in divorce, recent analyses suggest this is no longer the case”。A 项 “妻子收入更高越来越被接受” 符合“Fewer people agreed a wife earning more than her husband causes problems”；B 项 “政策制定者已解决男孩教育差的问题” 错误，原文第 4 段 “urging policymakers to fix root causes like underperforming boys’education”（呼吁解决，而非已解决）； C项 “41% 的受过教育单身女性不想生孩子” 错误，原文第 4 段 “41% of single women had ‘no interest in dating at all’”（不想约会，而非不想生孩子）；D项 “下 嫁婚姻现在离婚率更高” 错误，原文 “used to be more likely to end in divorce... no longer the case”（过去离婚率高，现在不是），故 A 正确。 35. C 从全文主旨来看，第 1 段提出 “女性下嫁” 趋势、第 2-3 段分析趋势原 因 —— 女性高等教育人数多、男性情感投入不足、第 4-5 段分析影响 — 女 性对约会悲观、可能影响生育率，但也有积极变化 — 观念转变、离婚率下降。 A项 “解决低生育率的方法” 仅在第 4 段提及，是局部内容；B项 “女性更易 接受高等教育的原因” 未提及，原文仅说 “女性高等教育人数多”；C项 “女性 ‘下嫁’ 趋势及其对社会的影响” 涵盖全文 “趋势提出- 原因分析- 影响分析”， 符合主旨；D项 “上嫁与下嫁的区别” 未提及，文章仅聚焦 “下嫁”，故 C 正确。 七选五 36. D 前文提到老年人在压力下表现出更平静的反应，D选项 “反过来，这些 积极反应会带来更好的心理健康” 是对前文的进一步说明，逻辑连贯。 37. C 该段主题是情商随时间加深，C选项 “这种智慧提升了情商” 中的 “这 种智慧” 指代前文老年人会用不同方式处理挑战的能力，契合段落主旨。 38. A 该段讲述长期伴侣关系在六七十岁时满意度达到峰值，A选项 “亲密感 常随年龄增长而提升” 能概括段落核心内容。 39. G 该段强调心态对衰老结果的影响，G选项 “我们对衰老的看法极大影响 我们实际体验衰老的方式” 引出下文关于积极心态延长寿命的研究，符合逻辑。 40. F 前文总结衰老是成长而非损失的过程，F选项 “因此，如果我们的态度发 生积极改变，我们可以拥有更好的晚年生活” 是对全文的总结，逻辑通顺。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语试题 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 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。 1.When will the flowers come out probably?

Known as CANN(Compute Architecture for Neural Networks), the software serves as a bridge between high-level AI training frameworks and Ascend chips, allowing users to access computing power without dealing with complicated chip-level problems. Progress made in lifting connections Construction of the Xuzhou-Mingguang Expressway is making progress,as China Railway Construction Corp's 24th bureau recently announced that it has completed installing box girders on a key overpass along the expressway. The builder said the overpass,located in Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, aims to function as a key channel boosting regional economic connectivity and facilitating road links between Jiangsu and Anhui provinces. Shipping route boosts China-Peru trade In the year of 2025, cargo volume on the Chancay-Shanghai shipping route reached 78,000 metric tons,worth 1.72 billion yuan($240.76 million), according to Shanghai Customs.After this route was set up,the total value of imports and exports between Shanghai and Peru increased by 34.9 percent compared with last year. Since the launch of the route in December 2024,the shipping time between Peru and China has been reduced to around 23 days, significantly cutting shipping costs by over 20 percent. As a result, more and more fresh fruits such as mangoes and blueberries are being directly transported from Peru to China via this route. 21.What is the main purpose of Huawei's release of CANN? A.To compete with other chip producers. B.To replace the existing AI training frameworks. C.To support users in discovering its advanced abilities D.To improve the hardware performance of Ascend chips. 22.What benefit has the Chancay-Shanghai shipping route brought? A.The rising shipping costs. B.The doubled cargo volume. C.The increased shipping time. D.The more efficient transportation. 23.In which part of the newspaper can you possibly find this passage? A.Entertainment. B.Economics . C.Education. D.Sports. B Donnie hadn't expected to go to his niece's fifth birthday party last August. He was exhausted after working long hours. But the party was being held at Scales and Tails Utah, a reptile(爬行动物)center in suburban Salt Lake City. Since childhood, Donnie has been crazy about reptiles. "They're now the closest thing we have to a dinosaur," he says. So,he went with his wife. When they arrived, they were led to a small indoor area with a pool of water surrounded by nine-foot-tall viewing windows. Inside was a 150-pound alligator(短吻鳄)named Darth. He swam around the pool before resting his head on a platform. For safety's sake, Bull, his trainer,wanted Darth off the platform before beginning the show. Entering the enclosure(围场), she held out an arm and yelled “Back!” Unexpectedly, Darth opened his jaw to reveal all of his teeth. Bull placed her left hand under his jaw and tried to move him backward, a technical move she'd performed before. But today, Darth wasn't having it. He rolled his head to the side, surprising Bull. Her hand slipped out from under Darth's jaw and right into his mouth, and Bull was dragged into the pool. Outside the enclosure,some wondered if this was part of the show. Not Donnie. Sensing something was wrong,he threw open the glass door and climbed inside. “Jump on his back!” Bull shouted. Donnie jumped from the platform to sit on the alligator's back, pressing down with all of his 180-pound body weight. “Push your fists into the top of his nose!”said Bull. Donnie did as he was told. For the next minute or two, they waited. When Darth finally eased his bite, Bull quickly pulled her hand out of his mouth and was helped by a bystander. That left Donnie alone on the top of the alligator. Bull shouted: “Move your hands from his nose to his neck! Sit up,then push off his back to stand and get to the platform!” Donnie cautiously sat up and jumped off Darth, moving out of the enclosure. Bull's hands were treated promptly.Though recovered, she hasn't stopped thinking about Donnie. Aside from a few scratches, Donnie was more shaken than injured. Still, he says, “I’m just glad I was there.” 24.What made Donnie go to Scales and Tails Utah? A.His wife's invitation. B.His interest in the show. C.His passion for reptiles. D.His desire for relaxation. 25.What happened after Bull entered the enclosure? A.She nearly sank in the pool. B.She deeply fell into danger. C.She saved Donnie from Darth's mouth. D.She was unable to take Darth out of water. 26.Which of the following can best describe Donnie? A.Courageous and heroic. B. Committed and determined. C.Considerate and optimistic. D. Adventurous and powerful. 27.What would be the best title for the text? A.An alligator fighter. B.A childhood dream. C.A visit to a reptile center. D.An alligator trainer's day. C It's been nearly 3 years since NASA's InSight mission ended on Mars. Its solar panels were covered in dust, stopping it from working. But data from the lander, which captured signals from faint marsquakes to explore the planet's inside part, are still producing fresh results. Two new studies use InSight data to paint a new portrait of this Red Planet. One study says remains of huge ancient impacts are hidden deep inside Mars. The other claims to have identified a solid inner core(核). Taken together,the findings suggest that the planet is, more or less, like Earth than researchers expected. The first study, published last month in Science, suggests the martian mantle(地幔)does not mix like Earth's mantle, but rather preserves the remains of smaller planetary bodies that crashed to form the planet.The second result, published last week in Nature, goes deeper, finding that rather than possessing a purely melted metal core, as earlier InSight analyses suggested, Mars—like Earth—has a solid core at its center. Neither paper is an open-and-shut case. The problem comes from how hard it is to do seismology(地震学)on Mars. On Earth, researchers use hundreds of seismic stations to study the seismic waves from thousands of strong earthquakes, which pass through the planet. But InSight had only a single seismic station(地震站), disturbed by wind, to measure the vibrations from mostly weak marsquakes. Both studies will face doubt, says Hrvoje, a seismologist at Australian National University. Still,if they hold up,the findings have the potential to transform our understanding of how rocky planets form, which challenges theories that suggest Mars's core is entirely melted. "I suspect this will upset many people," says Simon, a seismologist at ETH Zürich. “A lot of people were very comfortable with the nonexistence of the inner core.” 28.What do we know about the NASA's InSight lander? A.It is still working on Mars today. B.It collected data about Mars' inside part. C.Its solar panels were broken by marsquakes. D.It discovered a solid inner core of Mars first. 29.How is Paragraph 2 developed? A.By defining a concept. B.By giving examples. C.By stating cause and effect. D.By comparing and contrasting. 30.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence? A.Both studies fail to provide any useful data about Mars. B.The two studies prove that the inner core of Mars is not solid. C.Neither of the two studies has conclusions that are completely certain. D.The two studies have already been accepted by most scientists without doubt. 31.How do many people feel about the existence of Mars's inner core? A.Unacceptable. B.Indifferent. C.Comfortable. D.Excited. D More and more women are "marrying down" in terms of education, reported The Atlantic. During the mid-20th century, marriages became more egalitarian as more women entered universities and the job market. But now, the trend of women partnering with educational equals is changing—more are practicing"hypogamy", which means marrying someone of lower social class or education. In almost all developed countries,women outnumber men in higher education. In the UK,women first surpassed men in university admissions in 1996,and the gap grew:2024 government data showed female students were 28% more than males. While this advancement is worth celebrating, it causes issues in relationships,noted The Independent. There has been an increase in“assortative mating”, where people want their potential partners to have the same education level as them. However, a 2023 study found 45% of single educated women blamed their status on “inability to find someone meeting expectations”. Yale's Marcia Inhorn said women struggled to find partners meeting the "three E's:eligible(合格的),educated,equal". It's not just pickiness. Polling expert Daniel A.Cox surveyed over 5,000 people and found his interviews with the male participants “discouraging”—many were “limited in their ability and willingness to be fully emotionally present and available". Therefore women feel down about dating. A 2023 Survey Center on American Life study found 41%of single women had “no interest in dating at all”. The Economist warned this pessimistic attitude might hurt falling birth rates, urging policymakers to fix root causes like underperforming boys' education. It's not all bad though.The Atlantic noted shifting beliefs:Fewer people agreed “a wife earning more than her husband causes problems”.While hypogamous marriages used to be more likely to end in divorce, recent analyses suggest this is “no longer the case".These trends might offer a reason to be cautiously optimistic about society's ability to adjust to new realities. 32.What does the underlined word“egalitarian”in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A.Complicated B.Equal. C.Depressive. D.Diverse. 33.Why did Daniel find his interviews with the male participants "discouraging"? A.They reject the idea of “assortative mating”. B.Few of them have received higher education. C.They lack the ability to be fully devoted and attentive. D.Most of them hold traditional views about women's social roles. 34.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A.Wives' higher incomes are becoming more acceptable. B.Policymakers have solved the problem of boys' poor education. C.41% of educated single women have no interest in bearing a child. D.Hypogamous marriages now lead to a higher divorce rate than before. 35.What topic is the passage mainly about? A.The ways to solve the problem of low birth rate among young people. B.The reasons why women are more likely to receive higher education. C.The trend of women "marrying down" and its influences on society. D.The differences between "marrying up"and “marrying down”. 第二节(共5个小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Aging Isn't Just About Decline We spend billions fighting aging and yet scientists argue this focus on decline misses the bigger picture."Aging isn't worsening; it's living," says Professor Michelle Feng. A key factor for that is stress management: Studies show older adults display calmer responses under pressure. 36 . Emotional intelligence deepens with time. While youth often hold back emotions,older adults are good at looking at challenges differently. 37 . So elders are always honored as our life instructors."When your time is more limited,you may focus on meaningful things that can benefit you now instead of in the future,"says Feng. 38 . Long-term partnerships frequently reach peak satisfaction in their 60s and 70s. Women, in particular, report heightened emotional fulillment despite physical changes. This agrees with broader happiness trends and studies now suggest the longer you are with your life partner, the closer you will be. Critically, mindset shapes outcomes. 39 . A landmark study found that people accepting positive aging lived 7.5 years longer than those who are unwilling to decline."How we age isn't predetermined," Feng emphasizes." We really have so much more control over how we age than we think we do, and that can enable you to make decisions that are good for you." From stress management to daily joy, the data underlines aging as an ongoing process of growth—not just loss. 40 . A.Closeness often improves with age B.Elders are faced with more challenges C.This kind of wisdom improves emotional intelligence D.In turn,these positive reactions lead to better mental health E.It's a common belief that older adults are less capable of handling emotions F.Therefore,if our attitude makes a positive change,we can lead a better later life G.What we think about aging has a huge impact on how we actually experience it 第三部分 语言知识运用(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，从短文后各题所给的A 、B 、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处 的最佳选项。 On family holidays, my father transformed himself.

Her tiny hands grasped his delivery jacket while their bicycle sped toward the fifth delivery of the evening. The frozen pavement shone dangerously under streetlights. “Almost there, little star,” Leo whispered. His breath formed white clouds that disappeared into the night. Lily pressed her face against his back, her steady breathing reminding him of weekend mornings when his wife used to sing nursery rhymes in their sunlit kitchen. If only she hadn't left them in the accident eight months ago! These hard months had left deep lines around his eyes. Workers in the daycare center frowned at his dirty uniform; babysitters asked for more than he could pay. Every evening,he had to take her along in a seat made from old bike parts and his wife's bag. Her childish whispers of “Papa hurry” gave him the strength to go forward. His helmet slipped sideways, its broken strap(带子)scratching his frozen ear, while he balanced the takeout boxes. The delivery app buzzed:“Order 307 delayed—15-minute warning.” The bright red text burned his eyes. His heart sank—three complaints this week,each costing him $15.He sped up,tires(轮胎) slipping on dirty snow. A loud horn(喇叭)screamed—a truck ran too close,i ts wind pulling Lily sideways. Leo turned sharply, the bike sliding like a wild horse. Time froze. Wet leaves shone under headlights as the tires lost control. He twisted(转动)mid-fall, protecting Lily with his body as they slid across the road. He felt burning pain reaching his shoulder with his right elbow pounded heavily onto the ground. The takeout bag swung wildly. Lily's terrified scream pierced the night. “Mama's watching,” he choked, wiping tears from her face, but his left arm shook too badly to push them up. Paragraph 1 “OMG!Are you ok?”A woman’s voice cut through the scene. Paragraph 2 She connected him to a program aiding single parents. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
