To emphasize the importance of the Earth. C. To describe different ways to stop pollution. D. To analyze the reasons for wildlife’s disappearing. 【答案】11. C 12. C 13. A 【解析】 【原文】Huge numbers of unknown plants and animals are in danger. The Earth, according to various estimates, supports between 5 million and 80 million species. “Species,” says Dr Lovejoy, “are disappearing before we have a chance to learn how they might benefit the rest of the world.” Thousands of kinds of plants could help feed a growing world population. About four out of every ten medicines come from ingredients found in plants. Some animals also provide medicines. “It’s natural for species to become extinct over millions of years,” says Dr Lovejoy. What’s unnatural is that humans are speeding up the process many times over.” Actually, humans have a great impact on other living things that share the Earth. And people are doing this in four main ways: making the living places of wildlife less habitable, hunting excessively, introducing new species that endanger native wildlife, and making the environment dirty and polluted. These activities affect all species in one way or another, because all life is interconnected. Is there time to prevent disaster? “Just barely,” say scientists. Worldwide action will be difficult and costly. But scientists agree that action must be taken quickly. Time is running out. Questions: 11. What percentage of plants provide medicines for humans? 12. Which of the following is not responsible for the disappearing of wildlife? 13. What is the main purpose of the passage? 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14. A. Because it is his nickname. B. Because he is often called to put out fires. C. Because he brings more technical technology to each project. D. Because he is the one who gets called to address troubled projects. 15. A. He contributes more value than others. B. He struggled to settle problems but failed. C. He interfered with the distribution service projects. D. He learns from past mistakes and successes consciously. 16. A. To ask for a pay raise. B. To become a fireman. C. To be the team leader. D. To present a better image. 【答案】14. D 15. D 16. A 【解析】 【原文】During the seven years that I’ve been working with the aircraft parts marketing team, I’m familiar with each new project assignment. I think it’s fair to say that I contribute a lot more value today than I did about seven years ago. One reason is that, with each technical project, I bring more technical know-how than I did before. I make a conscious effort to learn from past mistakes and successes and to make sure that each new project benefits from the lessons that I have learned in the previous ones. Another factor is leadership — the ability to lead troubled projects to success. When our Brazilian passenger aircraft project was in trouble last year, I stepped in. When distribution service projects in Germany nearly fell through this year, I stepped in. I think you’re familiar with my nickname, “the fireman.” I’m the “go-to” guy who gets called in to put out fires and get troubled projects going again. I could go on, but I think you get the picture. Business today is about creating value at all levels. And I’m all about value. So, I think you’ll agree that I’m due for a pay raise. Thank you. Questions: 14. Why is the speaker called “the fireman”? 15. What can we learn about the speaker? 16. Why does the speaker make the speech? 听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. A. Black or white coffee. B.

B. Take another history course. C. Meet the man next day. D. Go to the man’s world history class. 【答案】17 B 18. A 19. C 20. D 【解析】 【原文】W: Mm, this coffee is really strong. M: It is so strong. I like white coffee. W: So do I. But I like black coffee today. During my last class I was thinking about coming here and could almost taste the coffee. M: Sounds like it wasn’t too interesting. W: I was bored to death. I’m in that psychology class only because it is a requirement so I have to stick it out. The problem is, the professor doesn’t know how to arouse our interest. She just walks in, gives us lectures and assignments. There is no discussion. Do you have any classes like that? M: I have only one big lecture class—world history—and the professor’s the best. It’s so appealing that I’m always on the edge of my seat. And when we have discussions, the room is filled with electricity. W: I’m jealous. It is so bad. I have already taken world history. M: You know, one day it occurred to me that I was lucky to be in her class because I found myself thinking a lot about what she said. Did you ever have a teacher like that? W: I’d have to think about it. M: You should come with me to class sometime just to see what I mean. I guess what it really comes down to is her enthusiasm for the subject. I remember at the beginning of this semester; I was not taking anything in school very seriously. I boomed the first history test, but then I started really enjoying school, especially her class. W: You have got me really curious about this teacher. I think I will visit your class. When does it meet? Questions: 17. What are the two speakers mainly talking about? 18. Why does the woman take psychology course? 19. In what way does the man’s world history teacher impress him most? 20. What does the woman plan to do? II.

Reading Comprehension (45分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context There are countless reasons to stay up late; however, here’s one good reason to go to bed. The less a student sleeps every night, the lower their grade-point average (GPA) will be, according to a two-year study of the sleep habits of more than 600 students. Researchers found that every lost hour of average nightly sleep at the start of an academic term was associated with a 0.07-point 41 in a student’s end-of-term GPA．When a student slept less than six hours a night, the 42 of lost sleep on a student’s grades was even more 43 , said David Creswell, the lead author of the study. “You’re 44 this sleep debt,” Creswell said. “And that has a pretty negative role 45 people’s academics.” Sleep, especially uninterrupted sleep, helps the brain 46 and memorize information it has learned. And when someone is sleep-deprived, attention span and memory are also damaged. But students face a variety of “ 47 pressure” that keeps them up late, Creswell said. The average student in the sample group 48 fell asleep at about 12:00 p.m. and these students slept about 6 hours a night. It’s not clear why less sleep would cause someone to have a lower GPA, Creswell said. Sleeping for longer, 49 periods of time allows for REM sleep, a period of unconscious rapid eye movement that corresponds with high activity in the brain. Creswell said he 50 that a regular pattern of 51 sleep creates a “sleep debt” over time, leaving students unable to concentrate. “These students are going to attend their class with a ton of sleep debt, and they’re having trouble staying focused and 52 in classrooms,” Creswell said. “Those things can really harm your ability to really 53 with the material.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A Katalin Karikó, a Hungarian-born biochemist known for her pioneering research into RNA treatment, was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Growing up in a small village, Karikó expressed an interest in nature and excelled academically in science from an early age. After graduating with a doctoral degree, she accepted a position at a Biological Research Centre in Hungary, where she began her investigations of modified nucleosides(核苷). Due to the lack of financial (财政) support for her research, Karikó moved to two different institutions for research in the US, where she made advances that inspired her to explore further. After varieties of failures in applying her findings to medical experiments, which cost large amounts of money, she finally made a major breakthrough, fueled by the urgency to develop a vaccine(疫苗) that could help prevent or reduce the severity of infection. Unlike traditional vaccine development, the generation of mRNA vaccines is relatively rapid, which contributes much to the whole world. Karikó was no stranger to awards. In addition to the Nobel Prize, her work was recognized with numerous honors, including the Lewis S. Rosenstiel Award for Distinguished Work in Basic Medical Research in 2020, the Lasker-DeBakey Medical Research Award in 2021 as well as the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize in 2021. In an interview on her success. she said “I suppose the message of all about this is that perseverance can pay off in the end. I believe in the first 14 years of your life—your teens, your parents, your teachers and your friends. They shape you the person who you will be. ” When asked how to balance her career and the family, her words were “I try to tell fellow female scientists that you don’t have to choose between having a family or career, you can have it, and that you just don’t have to over-assist your child. Your children will watch you and then they will follow. That’s what comes—the example you present. ” 56．What’s the major problem for Karikó’s early research? A．The shortage of funding. B．Her countless failures. C．The lack of inspiration. D．Her different nationality. 57．What can we learn about Karikó? A．She received poor education in childhood. B．She was honored with many prizes in parenting. C．She transferred to two different countries for further research. D．She was extraordinary academically in science when young. 58．What does the interview illustrate in the last paragraph? A．The related experiences determine one’s success. B．Modeling is important in educating children. C．Success is purely based on one’s natural talent. D．Females must make choices between family and career. 59．Which of the following best describes Karikó? A．Talented and generous. B．Determined but mean. C．Brilliant and perseverant. D．Intelligent but dependent. 【答案】56．A 57．D 58．B 59．C 【导语】本文是一篇人物传记。文章主要介绍了Katalin Karikó的成长经历、科研历程、重大成就及个人观点。 56．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Due to the lack of financial (财政) support for her research, Karikó moved to two different institutions for research in the US, where she made advances that inspired her to explore further.(由于研究缺乏资金支持，Karikó辗转到美国的两所机构从事研究工作，在那里她取得了一些进展，这激励着她进一步探索。)”可知，Karikó早期研究面临的主要问题是资金短缺。故选A。 57．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Growing up in a small village, Karikó expressed an interest in nature and excelled academically in science from an early age. After graduating with a doctoral degree, she accepted a position at a Biological Research Centre in Hungary, where she began her investigations of modified nucleosides(核苷).( Karikó在一个小村庄长大，从小就对大自然表现出浓厚的兴趣，并且在科学学科上成绩优异。获得博士学位后，她在匈牙利的一个生物研究中心任职，在那里开始了对修饰核苷的研究。)”可知，Karikó年轻时在科学方面学业出众。故选D。 58．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“When asked how to balance her career and the family, her words were “I try to tell fellow female scientists that you don’t have to choose between having a family or career, you can have it, and that you just don’t have to over-assist your child. Your children will watch you and then they will follow. That’s what comes—the example you present. ”(当被问及如何平衡事业和家庭时，她表示：“我想告诉其他女性科学家，不必在家庭和事业之间做选择，两者可以兼顾，而且不必过度帮助孩子。你的孩子会观察你，然后效仿你。这就是榜样的力量。”)”可知，Karikó认为父母的榜样作用在教育孩子过程中至关重要。故选B。 59．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Katalin Karikó, a Hungarian-born biochemist known for her pioneering research into RNA treatment, was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.( Katalin Karikó是一位出生于匈牙利的生物化学家，以其在RNA疗法方面的开创性研究而闻名，她获得了2023年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖。)”可知，Karikó开创性研究mRNA 疫苗并获诺贝尔奖，体现了她才华横溢；再根据第三段“After varieties of failures in applying her findings to medical experiments, which cost large amounts of money, she finally made a major breakthrough, fueled by the urgency to develop a vaccine(疫苗) that could help prevent or reduce the severity of infection.(在将研究成果应用于医学实验的过程中，她经历了种种失败，耗费了大量资金，但在研发一种能够帮助预防或降低感染严重性的疫苗这一迫切需求的推动下，她最终取得了重大突破。)”可知，Karikó在研究中遭遇失败却坚持下去，最终取得了突破，这体现了她的坚持不懈。故选C。 B Tablet for Kids, 10 Inch Kids Tablet Android 13 $128(20% OFF if purchased now! ) $35 Shipping & Import Charges to China Brand                      VNEIMQN Model Name                V10 Pink Memory Storage Capacity      64 GB Screen Size                  10.1 Inches Display Resolution Maximum    1280×800 Pixels About this item •Content kids love: Preloaded with educational and entertainment apps like Youtube Kids and Google Kids Space.

I guided them along the road, through the heart of the village. We walked past mud homes and villagers working on their crops. This was life in a small village in Sindh, Pakistan. Months flew by as I watched over the buffalo daily until Uncle visited. “Brother, you must send Rasool Bux to school. Herding buffalo is not in his future,” Uncle said. My father was persuaded finally. The following week, I started primary school. By the end of the year, I was among the top students in the school and determined to study at a university in Karachi, a big city over 150 kilometers away. “Look at this guy! He will go to study in Karachi?” My classmates laughed and made jokes. The challenges life set before me didn’t weaken my determination. I turned to writing as a way out. I got published and won competitions, gaining recognition and confidence to keep moving forward. I began college studies when I was hit with another roadblock. My father couldn’t afford my further education. I decided to find a part-time job. My handwriting was good, and I had developed a passion for calligraphy, so I tried my luck with a leading daily newspaper. One fine day, I took a bus to Hyderabad alone, a city that lay fifty kilometers from my village. Guided by kind strangers, I presented my calligraphy skills at the newspaper’s counter and was offered an internship (实习) with pay. This was one of the happiest days of my life. Within a year, under the guidance of senior calligraphers, my skills improved, along with a good salary. Many instructors helped me realize my dreams, leading to an editorial position, advertising work, and the most wonderful milestone of all, an MBA in marketing and advertising from a Karachi university. Now, when I reflect on the laughter and doubtful glances of the village students, their opinions hold no weight. What truly matters is that I followed the dreams and struggled for them. Just as I guided the buffalo with my stick, I went through challenges and hardships, guiding my life’s course. 63．What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A．To present the author’s dream. B．To show the author’s daily life. C．To describe the author’s village. D．To introduce the author’s background. 64．Who played a key role in the author’s childhood? A．His father. B．His uncle.

C．Two heads are better than one. D．One cannot be in two places at once. 【答案】63．D 64．B 65．C 66．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在巴基斯坦一个小村庄的成长经历，从放水牛到通过努力实现大学梦想的故事。文章展现了作者面对挑战时的坚持与奋斗精神。 63．推理判断题。根据第一段中的内容“One tap of my stick, and the buffalo (水牛) moved forward. I guided them along the road, through the heart of the village. We walked past mud homes and villagers working on their crops. This was life in a small village in Sindh, Pakistan.(我的棍子一敲，水牛就向前走了。我领着他们沿着路走，穿过村庄的中心。我们走过泥屋和正在收割庄稼的村民。这是巴基斯坦信德省一个小村庄的生活)”可知，第一段主要描述了作者的日常生活和村庄环境，为后文的故事发展提供了背景。故选D项。 64．推理判断题。根据第二段中的内容““Brother, you must send Rasool Bux to school. Herding buffalo is not in his future,” Uncle said. My father was persuaded finally. The following week, I started primary school. (“哥哥，你必须送拉索尔去上学。他的未来不是放牛，”叔叔说。我父亲终于被说服了。接下来的一周，我开始上小学了)”可知，叔叔在作者童年时起到了关键作用，说服了父亲送作者上学。故选B项。 65．推理判断题。根据第四段“I began college studies when I was hit with another roadblock. My father couldn’t afford my further education. I decided to find a part-time job. My handwriting was good, and I had developed a passion for calligraphy, so I tried my luck with a leading daily newspaper.(当我开始大学学习时，又遇到了一个障碍。我父亲负担不起我的进修费用。我决定找一份兼职。我的字写得很好，而且我对书法产生了兴趣，所以我在一家主要的日报上碰碰运气)”和五段中的内容“One fine day, I took a bus to Hyderabad alone, a city that lay fifty kilometers from my village. Guided by kind strangers, I presented my calligraphy skills at the newspaper’s counter and was offered an internship (实习) with pay. This was one of the happiest days of my life. (一个晴朗的日子，我独自乘公共汽车去了海得拉巴，那是一个离我的村庄50公里远的城市。在好心的陌生人的指导下，我在报社柜台展示了我的书法技能，并得到了一份带薪实习的工作。这是我一生中最快乐的日子之一)”可知，作者提到这段经历是为了展示他如何通过努力解决困境。故选C项。 66．推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段中的内容“What truly matters is that I followed the dreams and struggled for them.(真正重要的是，我追随梦想并为之奋斗)”可知，本文主要讲述的是作者如何通过自己的努力与坚持实现梦想的。所以，文章传达的核心思想是“有志者事竟成”。故选B项。 Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Universal Rhythm Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow called music “the universal language of mankind.” Now researchers may know why. 67 And these characteristics tend to be those that gather people, the researchers said. “Our findings help explain why humans make music,” study researcher Thomas Currie from the University of Exeter said in a statement. “The results show that the most common features seen in music around the world relate to things that allow people to coordinate (协调) their actions. 68 It can be a kind of social glue.” Currie, along with Pat Savage, a doctoral student at the Tokyo University of the Arts, and their colleagues analyzed music from around the world, examining 304 recordings from the online Garland Encyclopedia of World Music. The music samples came from every inhabited continent, from both vocal and instrumental music. 69 They systematically coded the features of each piece of music and employed a comparison system similar to those used by evolutionary biologists to classify and statistically analyze organisms. Although they found no features that were part of all the songs analyzed, the researchers did find dozens of characteristics that were present in a majority of songs across different world regions. Some of these characteristics were not surprising, such as the music’s tendency to use separate pitches, and equally timed beats and short musical phrases. 70 “It fits that we have two legs, so the music is probably related to the natural rhythms of movement,” said Savage. “And also, two is simpler than three, so maybe it’s easier to process and coordinate.” A．The researchers analyzed the music samples using a few different classification schemes. B．They also suggest that the main function of music is to bring people together and bond social groups. C．some people, as far back as Darwin, have believed that singing evolved as a way for males to gain mates. D．Others were more unexpected, like the discovery that two-beat rhythms are more popular than three-beat rhythms. E．A new analysis of music from diverse cultures around the globe reveals that all music shares certain universal features. F．Previous studies showed that people who experience music together are more likely to rate those who listen with them as helpful. 【答案】E B A D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了音乐具有某些共同特征，介绍了研究人员对此的研究过程。 67．根据上文“Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow called music “the universal language of mankind.” Now researchers may know why.(诗人亨利·沃兹沃斯·朗费罗称音乐为“人类的通用语言”。现在研究人员可能知道原因了)”以及后文“And these characteristics tend to be those that gather people, the researchers said.(研究人员说，这些特征往往是聚集人群的特征)”可知，本句主要是在说明音乐的具体特征。故E选项“一项对全球不同文化的音乐的新分析表明，所有的音乐都有某些共同的特征”符合语境，故选E。 68．根据后文“It can be a kind of social glue.(它可以成为一种社会粘合剂)”可知，后文提到音乐可以成为一种社会粘合剂，说明音乐具有凝聚作用。故B选项“他们还认为，音乐的主要功能是把人们聚集在一起，把社会群体联系起来”符合语境，故选B。 69．根据后文“They systematically coded the features of each piece of music and employed a comparison system similar to those used by evolutionary biologists to classify and statistically analyze organisms. Although they found no features that were part of all the songs analyzed, the researchers did find dozens of characteristics that were present in a majority of songs across different world regions.(他们系统地对每段音乐的特征进行编码，并采用一种类似于进化生物学家对生物进行分类和统计分析的比较系统。虽然他们没有发现所有被分析歌曲的特征，但研究人员确实发现了几十个特征，这些特征出现在世界不同地区的大多数歌曲中)”可知，本段主要说明了研究人员对于音乐的研究过程，A选项中researchers对应后文They。故A选项“研究人员使用几种不同的分类方案来分析音乐样本”符合语境，故选A。 70．根据后文“And also, two is simpler than three, so maybe it’s easier to process and coordinate.(而且，两个比三个简单，所以可能更容易处理和协调)”可知，后文提到了两个比三个简单。由此可知，本句主要关于音乐中与数量有关的内容。故D选项“其他的则更出人意料，比如发现两拍节奏比三拍节奏更受欢迎”符合语境，故选D。 IV. Summary Writing （10分） Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible. The role of siblings(兄弟姐妹) It’s common knowledge that the family a child grows up in has a huge influence on the child’s attitudes, beliefs and mental health. People usually think that the child’s parents are responsible for this influence, but relationships with brothers and sisters are just as important. Siblings provide children with a unique opportunity to practice interacting with their peers, rather than authority figures. Although friendships can have similar effects, relationships with siblings offer some unique advantages. During childhood, siblings see each other every day and spend more time with each other than with anyone else, sharing experiences that last all their lives. Siblings are also forced to persevere in their relationships with each other even if they have a falling out. This forces children to practice conflict resolution skills since they cannot leave the familial relationship, as they could with a friend. But a sibling relationship also offers a safe place to discuss difficult topics without fear of abandonment. Moreover, older siblings often teach their younger brothers and sisters about life. They can convey useful skills and advice, but they can also set bad examples, leading their younger siblings to do things that are wrong or foolish. Once children grow up, they do not see their siblings as often as before since they usually no longer live together. Maintaining sibling relationships now takes work, and if siblings do not get along, they can avoid each other. But many sibling relationships improve in young adulthood as the siblings mature. Sometimes the distance helps siblings enjoy each other’s company when they do meet. Relationships between siblings vary depending on the ages and personalities of the children involved. Even the best sibling relationships involve some disagreements, but a strong relationship can survive such conflicts. Considering the role of siblings throughout our lives, it’s critical to take the time to cultivate positive relationships with siblings. 71.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】Growing up with siblings promotes the ability to get along with peers.

Reading Comprehension (45分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context There are countless reasons to stay up late; however, here’s one good reason to go to bed. The less a student sleeps every night, the lower their grade-point average (GPA) will be, according to a two-year study of the sleep habits of more than 600 students. Researchers found that every lost hour of average nightly sleep at the start of an academic term was associated with a 0.07-point 41 in a student’s end-of-term GPA．When a student slept less than six hours a night, the 42 of lost sleep on a student’s grades was even more 43 , said David Creswell, the lead author of the study. “You’re 44 this sleep debt,” Creswell said. “And that has a pretty negative role 45 people’s academics.” Sleep, especially uninterrupted sleep, helps the brain 46 and memorize information it has learned. And when someone is sleep-deprived, attention span and memory are also damaged. But students face a variety of “ 47 pressure” that keeps them up late, Creswell said. The average student in the sample group 48 fell asleep at about 12:00 p.m. and these students slept about 6 hours a night. It’s not clear why less sleep would cause someone to have a lower GPA, Creswell said. Sleeping for longer, 49 periods of time allows for REM sleep, a period of unconscious rapid eye movement that corresponds with high activity in the brain. Creswell said he 50 that a regular pattern of 51 sleep creates a “sleep debt” over time, leaving students unable to concentrate. “These students are going to attend their class with a ton of sleep debt, and they’re having trouble staying focused and 52 in classrooms,” Creswell said. “Those things can really harm your ability to really 53 with the material. What’s more, sleep is so important that it is like the 54 that holds students’ lives together in lots of aspects.” “Fundamentally, it 55 : If we’re not sleeping well, all systems are not a go,” Creswell said. “Our body is not prepared for the day ahead of us and what we’re asking it to do if we don’t have that good, basic amounts of night-time sleep.” 41.A．drop B．addition C．rise D．consistency 42.A．efficiency B．effect C．cause D．advantage 43.A．primitive B．various C．distinct D．contrary 44.A．demonstrating B．accusing C．relieving D．accumulating 45.A．in a state of B．in association with C．in terms of D．in line with 46.A．prohibit B．process C．produce D．privilege 47.A．competing B．comprehending C．complicating D．comparing 48.A．typically B．briefly C．violently D．subsequently 49.A．uninterrupted B．unconstrained C．undetermined D．unemployed 50.A．sustains B．suspends C．suspects D．shifts 51.A．improper B．adequate C．extraordinary D．insufficient 52.A．building B．returning C．learning D．emerging 53.A．engage B．elevate C．evolve D．evaluate 54.A．glance B．gesture C．grade D．glue 55.A．comes up to B．comes down to C．goes in for D．gets down to Section B Directions: Read the following three passages.

A Katalin Karikó, a Hungarian-born biochemist known for her pioneering research into RNA treatment, was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Growing up in a small village, Karikó expressed an interest in nature and excelled academically in science from an early age. After graduating with a doctoral degree, she accepted a position at a Biological Research Centre in Hungary, where she began her investigations of modified nucleosides(核苷). Due to the lack of financial (财政) support for her research, Karikó moved to two different institutions for research in the US, where she made advances that inspired her to explore further. After varieties of failures in applying her findings to medical experiments, which cost large amounts of money, she finally made a major breakthrough, fueled by the urgency to develop a vaccine(疫苗) that could help prevent or reduce the severity of infection. Unlike traditional vaccine development, the generation of mRNA vaccines is relatively rapid, which contributes much to the whole world. Karikó was no stranger to awards. In addition to the Nobel Prize, her work was recognized with numerous honors, including the Lewis S. Rosenstiel Award for Distinguished Work in Basic Medical Research in 2020, the Lasker-DeBakey Medical Research Award in 2021 as well as the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize in 2021.

I believe in the first 14 years of your life—your teens, your parents, your teachers and your friends. They shape you the person who you will be. ” When asked how to balance her career and the family, her words were “I try to tell fellow female scientists that you don’t have to choose between having a family or career, you can have it, and that you just don’t have to over-assist your child. Your children will watch you and then they will follow. That’s what comes—the example you present. ” 56．What’s the major problem for Karikó’s early research? A．The shortage of funding.

I guided them along the road, through the heart of the village. We walked past mud homes and villagers working on their crops. This was life in a small village in Sindh, Pakistan. Months flew by as I watched over the buffalo daily until Uncle visited. “Brother, you must send Rasool Bux to school. Herding buffalo is not in his future,” Uncle said. My father was persuaded finally. The following week, I started primary school. By the end of the year, I was among the top students in the school and determined to study at a university in Karachi, a big city over 150 kilometers away. “Look at this guy! He will go to study in Karachi?” My classmates laughed and made jokes. The challenges life set before me didn’t weaken my determination. I turned to writing as a way out. I got published and won competitions, gaining recognition and confidence to keep moving forward. I began college studies when I was hit with another roadblock. My father couldn’t afford my further education. I decided to find a part-time job. My handwriting was good, and I had developed a passion for calligraphy, so I tried my luck with a leading daily newspaper. One fine day, I took a bus to Hyderabad alone, a city that lay fifty kilometers from my village. Guided by kind strangers, I presented my calligraphy skills at the newspaper’s counter and was offered an internship (实习) with pay. This was one of the happiest days of my life. Within a year, under the guidance of senior calligraphers, my skills improved, along with a good salary. Many instructors helped me realize my dreams, leading to an editorial position, advertising work, and the most wonderful milestone of all, an MBA in marketing and advertising from a Karachi university. Now, when I reflect on the laughter and doubtful glances of the village students, their opinions hold no weight. What truly matters is that I followed the dreams and struggled for them. Just as I guided the buffalo with my stick, I went through challenges and hardships, guiding my life’s course. 63．What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A．To present the author’s dream. B．To show the author’s daily life. C．To describe the author’s village. D．To introduce the author’s background. 64．Who played a key role in the author’s childhood? A．His father. B．His uncle. C．His classmates. D．His brother. 65．Why does the author mention the internship experience in Hyderabad? A．To tell his professional growth. B．To show off his calligraphy skills. C．To offer his solution to difficult situations. D．To emphasize his travel experiences. 66．What can we learn from the text? A．All is well that ends well. B．Where there is a will, there is a way. C．Two heads are better than one. D．One cannot be in two places at once. Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Universal Rhythm Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow called music “the universal language of mankind.” Now researchers may know why. 67 And these characteristics tend to be those that gather people, the researchers said. “Our findings help explain why humans make music,” study researcher Thomas Currie from the University of Exeter said in a statement. “The results show that the most common features seen in music around the world relate to things that allow people to coordinate (协调) their actions. 68 It can be a kind of social glue.” Currie, along with Pat Savage, a doctoral student at the Tokyo University of the Arts, and their colleagues analyzed music from around the world, examining 304 recordings from the online Garland Encyclopedia of World Music. The music samples came from every inhabited continent, from both vocal and instrumental music. 69 They systematically coded the features of each piece of music and employed a comparison system similar to those used by evolutionary biologists to classify and statistically analyze organisms. Although they found no features that were part of all the songs analyzed, the researchers did find dozens of characteristics that were present in a majority of songs across different world regions. Some of these characteristics were not surprising, such as the music’s tendency to use separate pitches, and equally timed beats and short musical phrases. 70 “It fits that we have two legs, so the music is probably related to the natural rhythms of movement,” said Savage. “And also, two is simpler than three, so maybe it’s easier to process and coordinate.” A．The researchers analyzed the music samples using a few different classification schemes. B．They also suggest that the main function of music is to bring people together and bond social groups. C．some people, as far back as Darwin, have believed that singing evolved as a way for males to gain mates. D．Others were more unexpected, like the discovery that two-beat rhythms are more popular than three-beat rhythms. E．A new analysis of music from diverse cultures around the globe reveals that all music shares certain universal features. F．Previous studies showed that people who experience music together are more likely to rate those who listen with them as helpful. IV. Summary Writing （10分） Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible. The role of siblings(兄弟姐妹) It’s common knowledge that the family a child grows up in has a huge influence on the child’s attitudes, beliefs and mental health. People usually think that the child’s parents are responsible for this influence, but relationships with brothers and sisters are just as important. Siblings provide children with a unique opportunity to practice interacting with their peers, rather than authority figures. Although friendships can have similar effects, relationships with siblings offer some unique advantages. During childhood, siblings see each other every day and spend more time with each other than with anyone else, sharing experiences that last all their lives. Siblings are also forced to persevere in their relationships with each other even if they have a falling out. This forces children to practice conflict resolution skills since they cannot leave the familial relationship, as they could with a friend. But a sibling relationship also offers a safe place to discuss difficult topics without fear of abandonment. Moreover, older siblings often teach their younger brothers and sisters about life. They can convey useful skills and advice, but they can also set bad examples, leading their younger siblings to do things that are wrong or foolish. Once children grow up, they do not see their siblings as often as before since they usually no longer live together. Maintaining sibling relationships now takes work, and if siblings do not get along, they can avoid each other. But many sibling relationships improve in young adulthood as the siblings mature. Sometimes the distance helps siblings enjoy each other’s company when they do meet. Relationships between siblings vary depending on the ages and personalities of the children involved. Even the best sibling relationships involve some disagreements, but a strong relationship can survive such conflicts. Considering the role of siblings throughout our lives, it’s critical to take the time to cultivate positive relationships with siblings. 71.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.

So how can you make sure that the money you give doesn’t end up lining the pockets of the 32 ? Follow these tips. Hang up on telemarketers. The cancer charities charged with fraud by the FTC used telemarketing calls to raise donations. If you get a call from a group asking for money, you might feel 33 to make a donation on the spot. But the FTC cautions that you shouldn’t rush to say yes but 34 any requests to give over the phone. Telemarketing companies often keep a significant portion of the funds they raise. You’re better off 35 the middleman and contacting a charity directly to make a donation. Don’t wait for charities to come to you.

I guided them along the road, through the heart of the village. We walked past mud homes and villagers working on their crops. This was life in a small village in Sindh, Pakistan. Months flew by as I watched over the buffalo daily until Uncle visited. “Brother, you must send Rasool Bux to school. Herding buffalo is not in his future,” Uncle said. My father was persuaded finally. The following week, I started primary school. By the end of the year, I was among the top students in the school and determined to study at a university in Karachi, a big city over 150 kilometers away. “Look at this guy! He will go to study in Karachi?” My classmates laughed and made jokes. The challenges life set before me didn’t weaken my determination. I turned to writing as a way out. I got published and won competitions, gaining recognition and confidence to keep moving forward. I began college studies when I was hit with another roadblock. My father couldn’t afford my further education. I decided to find a part-time job. My handwriting was good, and I had developed a passion for calligraphy, so I tried my luck with a leading daily newspaper. One fine day, I took a bus to Hyderabad alone, a city that lay fifty kilometers from my village. Guided by kind strangers, I presented my calligraphy skills at the newspaper’s counter and was offered an internship (实习) with pay. This was one of the happiest days of my life. Within a year, under the guidance of senior calligraphers, my skills improved, along with a good salary. Many instructors helped me realize my dreams, leading to an editorial position, advertising work, and the most wonderful milestone of all, an MBA in marketing and advertising from a Karachi university. Now, when I reflect on the laughter and doubtful glances of the village students, their opinions hold no weight. What truly matters is that I followed the dreams and struggled for them. Just as I guided the buffalo with my stick, I went through challenges and hardships, guiding my life’s course. 63．What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A．To present the author’s dream.

Universal Rhythm Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow called music “the universal language of mankind.” Now researchers may know why. 67 And these characteristics tend to be those that gather people, the researchers said. “Our findings help explain why humans make music,” study researcher Thomas Currie from the University of Exeter said in a statement. “The results show that the most common features seen in music around the world relate to things that allow people to coordinate (协调) their actions. 68 It can be a kind of social glue.” Currie, along with Pat Savage, a doctoral student at the Tokyo University of the Arts, and their colleagues analyzed music from around the world, examining 304 recordings from the online Garland Encyclopedia of World Music. The music samples came from every inhabited continent, from both vocal and instrumental music. 69 They systematically coded the features of each piece of music and employed a comparison system similar to those used by evolutionary biologists to classify and statistically analyze organisms. Although they found no features that were part of all the songs analyzed, the researchers did find dozens of characteristics that were present in a majority of songs across different world regions. Some of these characteristics were not surprising, such as the music’s tendency to use separate pitches, and equally timed beats and short musical phrases. 70 “It fits that we have two legs, so the music is probably related to the natural rhythms of movement,” said Savage. “And also, two is simpler than three, so maybe it’s easier to process and coordinate.” A．The researchers analyzed the music samples using a few different classification schemes. B．They also suggest that the main function of music is to bring people together and bond social groups. C．some people, as far back as Darwin, have believed that singing evolved as a way for males to gain mates. D．Others were more unexpected, like the discovery that two-beat rhythms are more popular than three-beat rhythms. E．A new analysis of music from diverse cultures around the globe reveals that all music shares certain universal features. F．Previous studies showed that people who experience music together are more likely to rate those who listen with them as helpful. IV. Summary Writing （10分） Directions: Read the following passage.

The role of siblings(兄弟姐妹) It’s common knowledge that the family a child grows up in has a huge influence on the child’s attitudes, beliefs and mental health. People usually think that the child’s parents are responsible for this influence, but relationships with brothers and sisters are just as important. Siblings provide children with a unique opportunity to practice interacting with their peers, rather than authority figures. Although friendships can have similar effects, relationships with siblings offer some unique advantages. During childhood, siblings see each other every day and spend more time with each other than with anyone else, sharing experiences that last all their lives. Siblings are also forced to persevere in their relationships with each other even if they have a falling out. This forces children to practice conflict resolution skills since they cannot leave the familial relationship, as they could with a friend. But a sibling relationship also offers a safe place to discuss difficult topics without fear of abandonment. Moreover, older siblings often teach their younger brothers and sisters about life. They can convey useful skills and advice, but they can also set bad examples, leading their younger siblings to do things that are wrong or foolish. Once children grow up, they do not see their siblings as often as before since they usually no longer live together. Maintaining sibling relationships now takes work, and if siblings do not get along, they can avoid each other. But many sibling relationships improve in young adulthood as the siblings mature. Sometimes the distance helps siblings enjoy each other’s company when they do meet. Relationships between siblings vary depending on the ages and personalities of the children involved. Even the best sibling relationships involve some disagreements, but a strong relationship can survive such conflicts. Considering the role of siblings throughout our lives, it’s critical to take the time to cultivate positive relationships with siblings. 71.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.

Guided Writing （25分） 76.Dear Student Union Committee, As Wang Lei’s classmate and former teammate in our Grade 10 volunteer group, I am qualified to recommend him based on our year-long collaboration. I witnessed his exceptional organizational skills when he coordinated a campus recycling campaign. He delegated tasks to 30 volunteers, resolved scheduling conflicts, and ensured all materials were collected within 48 hours — demonstrating precise logistics management. His ability to execute complex projects aligns perfectly with the Environmental Minister role. For instance, he redesigned collection routes to improve efficiency by 40%, proving he transforms plans into actionable solutions. Wang Lei doesn’t just lead; he inspires teams toward sustainable goals. I wholeheartedly endorse his application.
