The Timeline 2025:Price reduction to $115/kWh 2027:First prototype demonstrations in vehicles 2030:Target for large-scale commercialization 2032:Massive production Yet,producing these batteries is difficult.Some promising solid materials are extremely sensitive to dampness and can produce harmful gas if exposed to air.Additionally,the battery storage slightly expands and contracts with each charge cycle,a phenomenon known as "reversible breathing",which the battery design must accommodate. Despite the challenges,the long-term demand is clear.By combining the lithium-metal anode with solid-state technology,the goal is to achieve higher energy,higher power,and improved safety.For high-performance applications like EVs,drones,or even aviation,solid-state batteries could be the ideal choice. 21.What problem may solid-state batteries solve for EVs? A.Long charging time. B.High production costs C.Small passenger space. D.Short battery lifetime. 22.How do solid-state batteries gain their advantages in size and weight? A.By using more graphite anodes. B.By powering smaller EVs. C.By storing more energy per unit volume.D.By containing no easy-to-burn materials. 23.What is a challenge in making solid-state batteries? A.Special chargers are needed. B.Available materials are limited. C.Harmful gas can't be detected easily.D.Some materials should be kept from air. B In 1974,Surinder Gupta moved with his wife,Shashi,and their newborn son,Shaminder,to New Orleans for medical school.This move was a world away from his established life in Baton 英语试题第3页（共8页） Rouge,where a lively Indian community had welcomed him.In New Orleans,he felt the heavy weight of loneliness,and was forced to build a new life from the ground up. One bitterly cold winter night,Shaminder developed a dangerously high fever.Around 3 a.m.,the young parents wrapped him tightly and rushed to a 24-hour drugstore.Their relief upon getting the medicine soon gave way to a new worry.Returning to the parking lot,they found their car gone, with only a note left saying it had been towed()by City Impound.Panic set in.They were left with too little money to afford a taxi ride and they knew no one to call for help. Just then,it occurred to Gupta that there was a telephone directory in his bag.With a faint hope,he went to a public phone booth ()"I started looking for names like 'Singh'and Walia',common names from our home state of Punjab,"Gupta recalled.Fortune smiled upon them.The first person to answer his call was a man named Sukhdev Walia.Not only was Walia from their hometown community but lived close by.Hearing their predicament,Walia responded immediately."Don't worry.Stay where you are.I'm coming,"he said. Despite the freezing temperature,Walia drove to their rescue."He was a benefactor for us at that particular point in time,"Gupta remembered emotionally.Walia not only sent them home but helped Gupta deal with the complicated process of fetching his car. From that fateful night,a deep friendship blossomed.Bonded by shared culture,language, and the experience of building a new life in New Orleans,the two families became inseparable. They shared weekly meals,celebrated festivals together,and became like one large,extended family. Then,life took a beautiful turn.Years later,Walia's nephew and Gupta's daughter,who had grown up alongside each other,fell in love."Their paths kept crossing,back and forth,until one day..they married,"Gupta said,smiling. 24.What can we learn about Gupta when he first moved to New Orleans? A.He was in bad need of building a new life. B.He was warmly welcomed by the local community. C.He couldn't communicate with the locals smoothly. D.He had difficulty with coursework in medical school. 25.What caused the young parents to panic in the parking lot? A.Their son's fever got worse. B.They couldn't find a phone booth. C.Their car had been taken away. D.They couldn't understand the note. 26.What does the underlined word "predicament"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Situation.B.Offer. C.Ambition. D.Schedule. 27.What does the author mainly want to tell us? A.Family ties are the most important in life. B.Moving to a new community is challenging. C.Lasting bonds can grow from unexpected help. D.One should always help the strangers in trouble. C A study presented at the European Respiratory Society Congress in Amsterdam,the Netherlands, found that eating fruit may reduce the effects of air pollution on lung function. Led by Pimpika Kaewsri,a PhD student from the University of Leicester's Centre for Environmental Health and Sustainability in the UK,the research addresses a pressing issue:over 90%of the global population is exposed to air pollution exceeding WHO guidelines,and many studies link higher pollution exposure to reduced lung function.Notably,a healthy diet-especially one high in fruit and vegetables-is tied to better lung function,so Kaewsri's team set out to explore if diet or specific food groups could lower pollution's harm to lung function. Using data from around 200,000 participants in the UK Biobank,the team compared participants'dietary patterns (including fruit,vegetable,and whole-grain intake)with their lung function (measured by FEV1,the volume of air breathed in per second)and their exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5,tiny particles<2.5 micrometers from sources like vehicle exhaust and 英语试题第4页（共8页） industrial processes).They also took into account of other factors such as age,height,and socioeconomic status.The results showed that for every 5ug/m3 increase in PM2.5 exposure, women with low fruit intake saw a 78.1ml drop in FEV1,while those with high fruit intake had only a 57.5ml reduction. Kaewsri explained that the study confirmed a healthy diet relates to better lung function in both men and women,regardless of pollution exposure.Specifically,women who ate four or more fruit portions daily had smaller lung function declines linked to pollution-likely due to natural antioxidants(抗氧化剂)in fruit,which may ease oxidative stress from PM2.5,cancelling out some of pollution's harm.She also noted that men in the study generally ate less fruit than women, which might explain why this effect against pollution was only observed in women. Kaewsri plans to extend the research by exploring whether diet can influence changes in lung function over time. 28.What did the study led by Kaewsri aim to find out? A.What food groups are considered to be a healthy diet. B.Whether diet reduces pollution's damage to lung function. C.How over 90%of people are exposed to higher air pollution D.Whether air pollution is closely linked to reduced lung function. 29.How does the team get the results? A.By examining the antioxidant content in different fruits. B.By increasing the participants'intake of healthy food. C.By carrying out some experiments in the lab. D.By analyzing previous statistics from the UK. 30.What can be inferred about men in the study? A.They often ate more fruit than women. B.They showed no fruit's protective effect. C.They were exposed to more air pollution. D.They had better lung function than women. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Fruit Intake:A Surprising Key to Healthier Lungs B.Air Pollution:Endless Harm to Lung Function C.Balanced Diet:A Vital Influence on Human Health D.Lung Health:Largely Dependent on Fruit Intake D Plant stem cells (are crucial for the world's food supply,animal feed,and fuel production.They lay the foundation for how plants grow.Yet,much about these mysterious building blocks remains unknown.Previous analyses have failed to locate many of the important genes that regulate()how these cells function. Now,for the first time,Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL)plant biologists have mapped two known stem cell regulators across thousands of cor and Arabidopsis shoot cells.Their research also uncovered new stem cell regulators in both species and linked some to size variations in corn. This method for recovering rare stem cells could be used across the plant kingdom. CSHL Professor David Jackson and his colleagues first focused on two well-known stem cell regulators called CLAVATA3 and WUSCHEL.A researcher in Jackson's lab,Xiaosa Xu, delicately dissected()a small piece of corn and Arabidopsis shoots containing stem cells. Then,the team used a "microfluidics"machine to separate each cell,change its RNA into DNA, and label it with a tag that identifies which cell it came from. The process,called single-cell RNA sequencing(),allows researchers to see how genes are expressed in thousands of cells at once."The great thing is that we have this map of gene expression,Jackson says."When we publish that,other scientists will be able to use our data. Single-cell RNA sequencing allowed the team to recover about 5,000 CLAVATA3 and 1,000 WUSCHEL-expressing cells.They also identified hundreds of genes that were preferentially expressed in both corn and Arabidopsis stem cells,suggesting they are evolutionarily ( 英语试题第5页（共8页） important across many plant species.From there,researchers were able to link certain stem cell regulators to productivity in corn.Such links could someday help farmers select specific elements for food,animal feed,or fuel production."It's foundational knowledge that could guide research for the next decade,"Jackson says."It can be used not only by developmental biologists,but physiologists,who think about how com ears grow and how to improve productivity,and then farmers." 32.What is the main problem about previous analyses of plant stem cells? A.They failed to find plant stem cells in corn and Arabidopsis. B.They were unable to separate stem cells from other plant cells C.They did not study the relationship between stem cells and corn size. D.They could not identify some genes regulating stem cell functions. 33.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.The process of cell separation. B.The study of certain stem cell regulators. C.The importance of stem cells. D.The potential application of cell regulators. 34.What can we learn about the findings of the study? A.They have solved most mysteries of plant stem cells. B.They may help farmers improve their corn productivity. C.They highlighted the difference between CLAVATA3 and WUSCHEL D.They revealed that most genes are evolutionarily significant for plants. 35.What is the value of the CSHL team's research? A.It makes single-cell RNA sequencing accessible to all scientists. B.It has found a way to produce more food and fuel of lower prices. C.It provides basic knowledge to guide future plant-related research. D.It has solved the problem of changing common cells into stem cells 第二节（共5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人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For many people,seeing a therapist (is essential.The therapy by talking about feelings helps them reflect,release emotions,and better understand themselves.36 It has become a useful choice for some. One key reason is accessibility and cost.Lee,42,from Texas,once paid $60-$150 per therapy session.37 Then she used ChatGPT,which she named Alex,for dating and family issues."Alex is always there,handles hard topics,and is more consistent than some therapists I've seen.It was beyond my expectations,"Lee said. 38 Psychotherapist Caroline Plumer says AI may lack objectivity,stopping people from seeing the whole picture.Also,solving family problems takes time,not quick chats.Too much infomation at once can overload users,and over-reliance on AI is a risk.Psychiatrist Keith Sakata adds that time without a therapist helps build independence and resilience. To use AI wisely,first,watch how often you rely on it.Don't let it replace real human connections, says Harvard's Glenn Cohen.Second,try other free or low-cost resources like exercise or apps such as Calm.39 Sakata still thinks human therapists are the best and safest choice. As AI continues to evolve in the mental health space,it's clear that it can be a valuable support tool when used mindfully.While AI can offer guidance,it's important to remain balanced and remember that human connections remain at the heart of healing().Finding the right mental health support is a personal journey.40 A.Yet experts note AI therapy has limits. B.However,AI is not accessible to everyone. C.To get a better result,she changed her way of life. D.When she lost health care access,she couldn't continue. E.So take time to choose what works best for your well-being. F.Finally,get an in-person therapist with your doctor's help if possible. G.Though in-person therapy was common,people now turn to AI for help. 英语试题第6页（共8页） 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填人空白处的最 佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 For years after we married,my husband worked at a local garage().With our first child arriving,my days were 41 -filled with feedings and housework.My husband worked long hours,leaving us no 42 to talk,let alone go on dates.That's when I started a 43 bringing him lunch at work every Friday.

But that was just the start of her pain.Months later,her parents sent her elder brother-her anchor()who'd taught her to ride a bike and comforted her after nightmares-to live with her grandpa.She woke up one morning to find his bed empty,no goodbye note.Soon,her dad left too. Every person she loved seemed to disappear without a word. One day,she cried in class,tightly holding a blue notebook with a cat on it.Her teacher, Mrs.Welch,gently led her to the teachers'office.In tears,Eby told her everything-the lost friends,the missing brother and the endless confusion.Then,Mrs.Welch comforted her softly, with a warm and gentle smile,pulled her into a warm hug and let her cry.That simple hug felt like a lifeline,making Eby she'd be okay. Years passed and Eby became a college writing teacher.She understood Mrs.Welch's act of kindness had shaped her-helping her empathize()with students hiding their own struggles. She often told her students how tiny,kind moments can change lives. One afternoon,while sorting old photos,she found a faded class photo-there she was, smiling faintly next to Mrs.Welch.She stared at it,a thought popping into her head:What if she could find Mrs.Welch and say thank you in person?She grabbed her phone,telling her niece Molly that she wanted to find her former teacher Mrs.Welch.Her niece totally supported her. Encouraged,she was determined to track down the teacher who'd given her hope. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 To find Mrs.Welch,Eby turned to her former classmates.
