"Ideas can come from anywhere,"famous author Rashmi Bansal once wrote,"You could
be sitting in a bus or at your dining table and have a eureka moment."For 14-year-old Sirish
Subash,his“eureka moment''came at the kitchen sink(水槽).“My parents always insist that I
wash my produce before eating it.I wondered how necessary it was and how effective the
washing was,"said Subash."Does it really work to make sure your produce is clean?'That led
him to a deep exploration into the world of pesticide use.He was shocked by the results.
Research found that7O%of produce in the United States has pesticide residues(农药残留)
that may be linked to health issues like cancer.Additionally,washing fruits and vegetables only
removes some of these residues."The current methods of detecting pesticides,designed for
高二英语第4页(共12页)
at-home use,typically require cutting up the produce,and that results in the produce
uneatable,"Subash explained.This motivated him to create Pestiscand,an AI-based handheld
pesticide detector.
Pestiscand works through spectrophotometry,a way measuring how light of different
wavelengths reflects off the surface of produce.Subash tested his device on over 12,000
samples ()including apples,strawberries and tomatoes,to adjust its accuracy.By
analyzing the light data,Pestiscand's AI model can identify the wavelengths associated with
pesticide residues,achieving a remarkable detection accuracy of over 859.This high accuracy
meets Subash's goal of ensuring both effectiveness and speed in detecting pesticides.
Subash hopes to bring Pestiscand to market by the time he enters college,allowing people
to have an affordable,easy-to-use tool to help make safer food choices.While Subash isn't sure
where life will take him next,he is sure of his love for science-particularly physics.
24.What do the underlined words"a eureka moment"in paragraph 1 mean?
A.An outline of a book.
B.A sudden inspiration.
C.An awkward occasion.
D.A drive of quick action.
25.What disadvantage does Subash think the current pesticide-detection methods have?
A.High cost.
B.Risk of injury.
C.Poor design.
D.Damage to produce.
26.What can we learn about Pestiscand?
A.It relies on light analysis.
B.It has a small sample size.
C.It ensures absolute accuracy.
D.It is based on a chemical test.
27.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Passion motivates creation.
B.Pesticand is an instant success
C.Food safety is a serious concern.
D.Experience promotes excellence.

MIAMI BEACH-South Florida is seeing a wave of new cars,but they won't add to
traffic.That's because the cars are made of marine-grade (concrete and were placed
underwater.Over several days late last month,22 life-size cars were lowered into the ocean,
several hundred feet off South Beach.
高二英语第5页(共12页)
The project,called"Concrete Coral",was organized by the nonprofit REEFLINE,a group
known for building underwater sculpture()parks as a way to create human-made coral
reefs ()And 2,200 native corals grown in a nearby Miami lab will soon be added to the
underwater structure,which will serve as a habitat rich in ocean biodiversity."I think we are
making history here,"said Ximena Caminos,the group's founder."It's a kind of underwater
reef that's teaming up with science,teaming up with art."
Colin Foord,who runs the Miami coral lab,explained that they will soon start the planting
process to create a forest of soft corals over the car sculptures.He said,"Nature will take over
again,and we're helping by growing the soft corals."Foord is confident that the native Gorgon
corals will boom because they were grown from survivors of the 2023 marine heat crisis which
destroyed vast quantities of Florida corals.
Besides the project serving as a testing ground for new coral transplantation,Miami Beach
governor Steven Meiner expects it to generate local jobs through ecotourism activities.The
nonprofit also offers community education programs,where volunteers can plant corals
alongside scientists,and a floating ocean learning center,where participants can gain firsthand
experience in coral protection.
Caminos acknowledges that the underwater structure won't fix all the problems-such as
climate change and sea level rise-but she said it can serve as a driving force for dialogue
about the value of coastal ecosystems.
28.Why were the concrete cars placed underwater?
A.To recycle the old cars.
B.To promote a new art form.
C.To make a home for corals.
D.To reduce the traffic pressure.
29.What is the main reason for Foord's growing the Gorgon corals?
A.Its soft nature.
B.Its fast reproduction rate.
C.Its unique beauty.
D.Its strong ability to survive.
30.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.Future plans of the group.
B.Ways to protect corals.
C.Chain benefits of the project.
D.Solutions to job shortage.
31.What is Caminos'attitude towards the project?
A.Concerned.
B.Optimistic
C.Doubtful.
D.Unclear.

For generations,scientists have been fascinated by how the ancient people of Rapa Nui
managed to move the island's enormous moai statues.Now,scientists discovered that the
statues were designed to"walk"upright through a clever rocking movement.
After examining nearly 1,000 of the stone figures,Binghamton University professor Carl
Lipo and researcher Terry Hunt concluded that the islanders probably used ropes to rock the
statues from side to side,guiding them forward along specially constructed roads,rather than
dragging them steadily on wooden sleds()as older theories suggested.
To understand how even larger statues might have moved,the researchers studied 3D
models and determined that the huge statues had wide,D-shaped bases and leaned forward
slightly,which would have made it easier for the residents of Easter Island to"walk"them.The
team tested this theory by creating a 4.35-ton replica ()With just 18 people,they
managed to move the statue more than 300 feet in 40 minutes."Once you get it moving,it isn't
hard at all-people are pulling with one arm.It saves energy,and it moves really quickly,"
said Lipo.
Another factor in the transportation of these statues was the roads they traveled on,which
were roughly 15 feet wide and angled downward.This design helped to keep the statues
balanced as they werewalked"to their final destination."Every time they're moving a statue,
it looks like they're making a road,"said Lipo."What they are probably doing is clearing a
path,moving it,clearing another,clearing it further,and moving it right."
"No one else now can explain how the moai statues were moved,and the challenge for
others is to prove our theory wrong,"said Hunt."People have made up all kinds of stories
about things that are possible,but they never go about evaluating the evidence to show that,in
fact,you can learn about the past and explain the record that you see in ways that are fully
scientific.”
32.What did earlier theories suggest about moving the moai statues?
A.They were rolled on roads.
B.They were pulled on sleds.
C.They were carried by people.
D.They were dragged by animals.
33.What is the main challenge of moving the moai statues?
A.Shifting the direction.
B.Controlling the speed.
C.Gathering enough people.
D.Starting the initial rocking.
34.How is the process of making the road?
A.It takes much work.
B.It finishes all at once.
C.It has a strict standard.
D.It follows a fixed pattern.

35.What is Hunt's suggestion for theory research?
A.Challenge theories freely
B.Respect traditional records.
C.Assess proof scientifically.
D.Make up imaginative stories.

Constructive criticism (is a valuable tool to help individuals grow,improve,and
succeed in their personal and professional lives.36 Whether you are a manager providing
feedback (to your team members,a teacher guiding your students,or a friend offering
advice to a loved one,mastering the art of giving constructive criticism is essential for promoting
growth and development in others.Let's explore how to give feedback effectively!
Before providing feedback,make sure to choose the right time and place for the conversation.
37 Instead,schedule a one-on-one meeting in a private setting where both parties can have a
frank discussion.This shows respect for their feelings and allows them to address the feedback
without feeling judged by others.38 Additionally,consider the person's emotional state-if
they're stressed or upset,it's best to wait until they're more receptive.
Be specific when giving constructive criticism.Instead of statements like"You need to do
better,"provide concrete examples,such as,"There were several spelling mistakes in your report
that made it difficult to read.Please check your work before presenting it."39 Avoid using
generalizations or making assumptions about the person's behavior.
40 Rather than just pointing out shortcomings,offer practical suggestions to help the
individual grow.For example,you could say,"I noticed that the project was missing a clear
timeline.I recommend creating a detailed timeline with deadlines for each task.I am here to
support you in creating this timeline and meeting the deadlines."This approach shows that you are
committed to their success and willing to help them.
A.Yet many students struggle to provide it effectively.
B.Remember,the goal is to help them,not to shame them.
C.Allow time for them to reflect on the feedback they receive.
D.However,delivering criticism in a helpful way can be challenging.
E.Avoid giving criticism in front of others,as it can be embarrassing.
F.Criticism is most effective when accompanied by solutions for improvement
G.This is more actionable and helps the individual understand what needs to change.

lit by a spotlight-a 46 she hadn't expected.Her teacher had never taught them
how to sing into a microphone.
Despite her 47,her solo began smoothly.She sang 48 until she got to the
last high note.With her lips near the microphone,the note 49 from the speakers,
ear-tearing and deafening."I saw some of the audience had their jaws ()50
wide open,"Vaughan recalled."I was totally 51.I wanted the stage to open up and
swallow(吞噬)me whole..
After the concert,Vaughan52 along the hallway to have class,eyes downcast,
when she spotted a pair of athletic shoes."I looked up,preparing for the 53 of what
he'd say.Instead,he said,You have a very powerful voice.'At that moment,I almost

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
We use body language to express thoughts and opinions in interactions with others.We
can learn much about 56 people think by watching their body language.
Just like spoken language,body language 57 (vary)from culture to culture.The
crucial thing is using it 58 (appropriate)for the culture you are in.For example,59
(make)eye contact-in some countries-is a way to show interest.In other countries,by
contrast,eye contact is not always approved of.
The "OK"gesture has different meanings across cultures.In Japan,someone who
witnesses another person employing the gesture might think it refers to money.In France,a
person encountering 60 identical gesture may interpret it 61 meaning zero.
There are also differences in how we touch,how close we stand,and how we act when
meeting or parting.In France and Russia,people may kiss friends on the cheek.Elsewhere,
people favour shaking hands,bowing from the waist,62 nodding the head when they
meet someone else.
Some gestures seem 63 (have)the same meaning everywhere.Some body language
has many different uses.Perhaps the best example is smiling.A smile can break down 64
(barrier).And if we are feeling down or lonely,there is nothing 65 (good)than seeing the
smiling face of a good friend.

The parents were unable to speak english, and their teenage daughter was trying to translate. David, who was on duty, noticed the baby was not breathing but still had a heartbeat. He quickly performed book blows to clear the baby's airway. He felt the baby take a breath in his left hand. Then he immediately gave the baby oxygen and called the hospital. The baby was finally safe. His directors say they are proud of him and happy that he was in the right place at the right time to save a life.

Possible version 1:
In my opinion, visiting museums online is a great choice that offers many benefits.
First, it removes the limits of location and time — people can visit famous museums like the Louvre from home, anytime, without spending money on travel or waiting in long lines. Second, it improves the experience with new technologies: 3D displays let visitors look closely at exhibits, and audio guides provide interesting stories, making learning easier. Finally, it promotes inclusion, allowing people with disabilities or limited mobility to enjoy culture as well.
All in all, visiting museums online makes cultural learning easier and more accessible and it is a good idea.
Possible version 2:
From my perspective, online museum visits can never replace on-site ones and have obvious advantages.
To begin with, they lack the full-engaging atmosphere: standing in front of a real painting or sculpture allows people to feel the texture, color, and even the artist’s emotions, which a screen cannot achieve. Moreover, online visits reduce social interaction — visiting museums with friends or family and sharing opinions face-to-face is a valuable experience. Additionally, technical issues like slow internet or poor display quality may ruin the experience, making it hard for visitors to focus on and appreciate the exhibits deeply.
Though convenient, online museum visits can only be a supplement, not a replacement for offline visits that bring genuine learning and enjoyment.
Possible version 3:
In my opinion, visiting museums online has its own advantages and disadvantages.
On the bright side, online visits are convenient and efficient — they help people preview exhibits before an on-site trip and choose which parts to focus on. They also allow people to visit favorite exhibits repeatedly after the trip, strengthening the visual experience. However, online museum visits can’t provide immersive and emotional connection. As you know, online visits expand the reach of museums, while on-site visits deepen the understanding of culture.
In conclusion, we can combine online visits with on-site visits, which can definitely help us enjoy cultural heritage deeply.

One possible version:
I lay awake that night, full of regret. Imagining Roy’s confusion and my parents’ disappointment, I knew I had to apologize. The next morning, I walked up to my parents. “It was me who opened the presents. I wanted to see if there was a pair of cowgirl boots,” I whispered, voice trembling. They looked at me and then their eyes softened. Roy stared at me, still unsure of what had happened. “I ruined the surprise, Roy,” I continued. Roy understood what had happened and smiled, “It’s okay, Sister. But we’ re still excited for Christmas, right?” His words made me feel lighter. My parents hugged me tight, telling me that it’s enough to admit the mistake.
On Christmas morning, I saw a pair of cowgirl boots beside my pillow. My heart skipped a beat — they were exactly what I’d dreamed of! The warm brown leather gleamed, the fancy stitching was just as I’d imagined, and the thick heels were perfect. I’d ruined everything, yet my parents had gone out of their way to make my wish come true. I slipped my feet into the boots, and they fit perfectly. I felt a wave of joy, but it was mixed with a deep sense of gratitude and shame. This wasn’t just a gift; it was a reminder of my families’ love and understanding. It was the best Christmas I’d ever known — one I’d never forget.

“Ideas can come from anywhere,” famous author Rashmi Bansal once wrote, “You could be sitting in a bus or at your dining table and have a eureka moment.” For 14-year-old Sirish Subash, his “eureka moment” came at the kitchen sink (水槽). “My parents always insist that I wash my produce before eating it. I wondered how necessary it was and how effective the washing was,” said Subash. “Does it really work to make sure your produce is clean?” That led him to a deep exploration into the world of pesticide use. He was shocked by the results.
Research found that 70% of produce in the United States has pesticide residues (农药残留) that may be linked to health issues like cancer. Additionally, washing fruits and vegetables only removes some of these residues. “The current methods of detecting pesticides, designed for at-home use, typically require cutting up the produce, and that results in the produce uneatable,” Subash explained. This motivated him to create Pestiscand, an AI-based handheld pesticide detector.
Pestiscand works through spectrophotometry, a way measuring how light of different wavelengths reflects off the surface of produce. Subash tested his device on over 12,000 samples (样品), including apples, strawberries and tomatoes, to adjust its accuracy. By analyzing the light data, Pestiscand’s AI model can identify the wavelengths associated with pesticide residues, achieving a remarkable detection accuracy of over 85%. This high accuracy meets Subash’s goal of ensuring both effectiveness and speed in detecting pesticides.
Subash hopes to bring Pestiscand to market by the time he enters college, allowing people to have an affordable, easy-to-use tool to help make safer food choices. While Subash isn’t sure where life will take him next, he is sure of his love for science — particularly physics.
24. What do the underlined words “a eureka moment” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. An outline of a book. B. A sudden inspiration.
C. An awkward occasion. D. A drive of quick action.
25. What disadvantage does Subash think the current pesticide-detection methods have?
A. High cost. B. Risk of injury.
C. Poor design. D. Damage to produce.
26. What can we learn about Pestiscand?
A. It relies on light analysis.
B. It has a small sample size.
C. It ensures absolute accuracy.
D. It is based on a chemical test.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Passion motivates creation.
B. Pesticand is an instant success.
C. Food safety is a serious concern.
D. Experience promotes excellence.

MIAMI BEACH — South Florida is seeing a wave of new cars, but they won’t add to traffic. That’s because the cars are made of marine-grade(海洋级) concrete and were placed underwater. Over several days late last month, 22 life-size cars were lowered into the ocean, several hundred feet off South Beach.
The project, called “Concrete Coral”, was organized by the nonprofit REEFLINE, a group known for building underwater sculpture(雕塑)parks as a way to create human-made coral reefs(珊瑚礁). And 2,200 native corals grown in a nearby Miami lab will soon be added to the underwater structure, which will serve as a habitat rich in ocean biodiversity. “I think we are making history here,” said Ximena Caminos, the group’s founder. “It’s a kind of underwater reef that’s teaming up with science, teaming up with art.”
Colin Foord, who runs the Miami coral lab, explained that they will soon start the planting process to create a forest of soft corals over the car sculptures. He said, “Nature will take over again, and we’re helping by growing the soft corals.” Foord is confident that the native Gorgon corals will boom because they were grown from survivors of the 2023 marine heat crisis which destroyed vast quantities of Florida corals.
Besides the project serving as a testing ground for new coral transplantation, Miami Beach governor Steven Meiner expects it to generate local jobs through ecotourism activities. The nonprofit also offers community education programs, where volunteers can plant corals alongside scientists, and a floating ocean learning center, where participants can gain firsthand experience in coral protection.
Caminos acknowledges that the underwater structure won’t fix all the problems — such as climate change and sea level rise — but she said it can serve as a driving force for dialogue about the value of coastal ecosystems.
28. Why were the concrete cars placed underwater?
A. To recycle the old cars. B. To promote a new art form.
C. To make a home for corals. D. To reduce the traffic pressure.
29. What is the main reason for Foord’s growing the Gorgon corals?
A. Its soft nature. B. Its fast reproduction rate.
C. Its unique beauty. D. Its strong ability to survive.
30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Future plans of the group. B. Ways to protect corals.
C. Chain benefits of the project. D. Solutions to job shortage.
31. What is Caminos’ attitude towards the project?
A. Concerned. B. Optimistic. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.

For generations, scientists have been fascinated by how the ancient people of Rapa Nui managed to move the island’s enormous moai statues. Now, scientists discovered that the statues were designed to “walk” upright through a clever rocking movement.
After examining nearly 1,000 of the stone figures, Binghamton University professor Carl Lipo and researcher Terry Hunt concluded that the islanders probably used ropes to rock the statues from side to side, guiding them forward along specially constructed roads, rather than dragging them steadily on wooden sleds(雪橇)as older theories suggested.
To understand how even larger statues might have moved, the researchers studied 3D models and determined that the huge statues had wide, D-shaped bases and leaned forward slightly, which would have made it easier for the residents of Easter Island to “walk” them. The team tested this theory by creating a 4.35-ton replica (复制品). With just 18 people, they managed to move the statue more than 300 feet in 40 minutes. “Once you get it moving, it isn’t hard at all — people are pulling with one arm. It saves energy, and it moves really quickly,” said Lipo.
Another factor in the transportation of these statues was the roads they traveled on, which were roughly 15 feet wide and angled downward. This design helped to keep the statues balanced as they were “walked” to their final destination. “Every time they’re moving a statue, it looks like they’re making a road,” said Lipo. “What they are probably doing is clearing a path, moving it, clearing another, clearing it further, and moving it right.”
“No one else now can explain how the moai statues were moved, and the challenge for others is to prove our theory wrong,” said Hunt. “People have made up all kinds of stories about things that are possible, but they never go about evaluating the evidence to show that, in fact, you can learn about the past and explain the record that you see in ways that are fully scientific.”
32. What did earlier theories suggest about moving the moai statues?
A. They were rolled on roads. B. They were pulled on sleds.
C. They were carried by people. D. They were dragged by animals.
33. What is the main challenge of moving the moai statues?
A. Shifting the direction. B. Controlling the speed.
C. Gathering enough people. D. Starting the initial rocking.
34. How is the process of making the road?
A. It takes much work. B. It finishes all at once.
C. It has a strict standard. D. It follows a fixed pattern.
35. What is Hunt’s suggestion for theory research?
A. Challenge theories freely. B. Respect traditional records.
C. Assess proof scientifically. D. Make up imaginative stories.
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。
Constructive criticism (评价) is a valuable tool to help individuals grow, improve, and succeed in their personal and professional lives. 36 Whether you are a manager providing feedback (反馈) to your team members, a teacher guiding your students, or a friend offering advice to a loved one, mastering the art of giving constructive criticism is essential for promoting growth and development in others. Let’s explore how to give feedback effectively!
Before providing feedback, make sure to choose the right time and place for the conversation. 37 Instead, schedule a one-on-one meeting in a private setting where both parties can have a frank discussion. This shows respect for their feelings and allows them to address the feedback without feeling judged by others. 38 Additionally, consider the person’s emotional state — if they’re stressed or upset, it’s best to wait until they’re more receptive.
Be specific when giving constructive criticism. Instead of statements like “You need to do better,” provide concrete examples, such as, “There were several spelling mistakes in your report that made it difficult to read. Please check your work before presenting it.” 39 Avoid using generalizations or making assumptions about the person’s behavior.
40 Rather than just pointing out shortcomings, offer practical suggestions to help the individual grow. For example, you could say, “I noticed that the project was missing a clear timeline. I recommend creating a detailed timeline with deadlines for each task. I am here to support you in creating this timeline and meeting the deadlines.” This approach shows that you are committed to their success and willing to help them.
A. Yet many students struggle to provide it effectively.
B. Remember, the goal is to help them, not to shame them.
C. Allow time for them to reflect on the feedback they receive.

Sometimes, just a few words can change someone’s life. For Vaughan, that moment happened after a(n) 41 high school experience. In the second year, she joined a choir and 42 a solo (独唱) in the first concert from the musical Oliver!. She wasn’t 43 until the week before, knowing the entire school would attend.
Backstage on the show day, Vaughan saw everyone 44 : students, teachers, cleaners and lunch ladies. The 45 opened and the choir began to sing. Vaughan noticed some of the audience’s disinterest. Then she discovered a microphone at the front, lit by a spotlight — a 46 she hadn’t expected. Her teacher had never taught them how to sing into a microphone.
Despite her 47 , her solo began smoothly. She sang 48 until she got to the last high note. With her lips near the microphone, the note 49 from the speakers, ear-tearing and deafening. “I saw some of the audience had their jaws (下巴) 50 wide open,” Vaughan recalled. “I was totally 51 . I wanted the stage to open up and swallow (吞噬) me whole.”
After the concert, Vaughan 52 along the hallway to have class, eyes downcast, when she spotted a pair of athletic shoes. “I looked up, preparing for the 53 of what he’d say. Instead, he said, ‘You have a very powerful voice.’ At that moment, I almost 54 I would never sing again,” Vaughan said.
Now Vaughan is a singer and songwriter, 55 in three bands across Arizona.

We use body language to express thoughts and opinions in interactions with others. We can learn much about 56 people think by watching their body language.
Just like spoken language, body language 57 (vary) from culture to culture. The crucial thing is using it 58 (appropriate) for the culture you are in. For example, 59 (make) eye contact — in some countries — is a way to show interest. In other countries, by contrast, eye contact is not always approved of.
The “OK” gesture has different meanings across cultures. In Japan, someone who witnesses another person employing the gesture might think it refers to money. In France, a person encountering 60 identical gesture may interpret it 61 meaning zero.
There are also differences in how we touch, how close we stand, and how we act when meeting or parting. In France and Russia, people may kiss friends on the cheek. Elsewhere, people favour shaking hands, bowing from the waist, 62 nodding the head when they meet someone else.
Some gestures seem 63 (have) the same meaning everywhere. Some body language has many different uses. Perhaps the best example is smiling. A smile can break down 64 (barrier). And if we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing 65 (good) than seeing the smiling face of a good friend.

My little brother Roy and I grew up as kids in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our parents had little money, so even for Christmas, we never dared to hope for much. Then, one December, my father received an unexpected project award, meaning we would get real Christmas presents! It was the first time for me at nine years old.
I knew exactly what I wanted: a pair of cowgirl boots I’d seen in ads everywhere. Warm brown, fancy stitching (针脚), a thick heel. In the mornings, I walked over a mile to the school bus stop like a real cowgirl, pretending my old shoes had transformed into boots.
Mom and Dad put up our first real Christmas tree. Brightly wrapped presents started to appear under it. But I only had eyes for the long box with my name on it, just the right size for a pair of cowgirl boots. Every time I set eyes on it, it nearly drove me wild.
One afternoon before Christmas, I found myself home alone. I couldn’t wait any longer to know what was inside. I put the box on my lap and gently slid my fingers under the wrapping paper tape. If I was careful, I thought, no one would ever know I had stolen a look at my boots inside. I pulled the box out of the paper and opened it — only to be disappointed. It wasn’t boots! I grasped another box, opened the wrapping, then another, and another. Still no boots! Rewrapping the gifts was simple enough. I carefully placed each box exactly where it had been before, then escaped to my room, feeling upset.
Later that evening, I heard my father shouting to Roy, “How could you do this? Don’t pretend you haven’t seen what’s inside!” My parents thought he was the one who had opened the presents. I was too afraid to tell even Roy the truth. I ruined Christmas for myself and for Roy too.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I lay awake that night, full of regret.
On Christmas morning, I saw a pair of cowgirl boots beside my pillow.
