Despite the constant and unavoidable ups and downs of this life, I realized many of my dreams including working with stars like Lucas and writing an Emmy-winning TV show. Then, my life took an unexpected turn. In 2011, I agreed to teach a class. I discovered a deep love for it — the engagement with students and the stable income were welcome changes. As my writing career slowed, my wife encouraged me to pursue more teaching. I researched and found a position at UC Riverside. I said “Yes” to the interview, got the job, and within years became a professor. Academy became my focus, but I remained a writer at heart. I decided to write my first novel, free from deadlines, simply for the creative joy. In 2015, an email asked if I was interested in a talk in the community. I said “Yes”. The challenge was big; a 15-minute speech in front of 500 people and three cameras. However, I succeeded, and the talk was well-received. After the speech was uploaded to the internet, it led to an email from Publisher, suggesting a book on my talk’s topic. I instead recommended my novel. They asked if I wanted to launch a pre-sale campaign to attract readers. I said “Yes”. Publisher’s founder advised me to find an editor. Again, I said “Yes”. I hired Lauren Hughes, whose insightful feedback was incredibly encouraging. I accepted her notes and revised the manuscript. The pre-sale campaign sold over 300 books, generating interest from many readers. So my first novel was published. All this happened because I consistently said “Yes” to new opportunities, embracing challenges without knowing the outcome. This philosophy keeps me engaged against the pull of aging. As a professor, I urge students to be positive. I don’t know how my novel will be received, but when asked if I have a book out, I can proudly say “Yes”. 4. What did the author think of his work in Hollywood? A. It was steady and well-paid. B. It was tiring and disappointing. C. It was fruitful despite challenges. D. It was full of unbearable pressure. 5 Which word can best describe the pre-sale campaign? A. Unexpected. B. Nationwide. C. Demanding. D. Successful. 6. What can we know about the author? A. He has always lived in a state of instability. B. He faces the unknown and challenges bravely. C. He accepted teaching mainly for its high income. D. He viewed public speaking as an unavoidable duty. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. The Power of Saying “Yes”. B. A New Chapter in My Life. C. From Hollywood to Classroom. D. The Path to Becoming an Author. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者从好莱坞影视编剧，到转型成为大学教授、出版首部小说的人生经历。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Despite the constant and unavoidable ups and downs of this life, I realized many of my dreams including working with stars like Lucas and writing an Emmy-winning TV show.(尽管生活中不可避免地会有起起落落，但我实现了许多梦想，包括与卢卡斯这样的明星合作，以及创作一部获得艾美奖的电视节目。)”可知，作者认为自己在好莱坞的工作尽管有挑战，但它还是很有成果的。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The pre-sale campaign sold over 300 books, generating interest from many readers. So my first novel was published.(预售活动售出了300多本书，引起了许多读者的兴趣。所以我的第一部小说出版了。)”可知，预售活动很成功。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“All this happened because I consistently said “Yes” to new opportunities, embracing challenges without knowing the outcome.(这一切的发生都是因为我始终对新机会说“是”，在不知道结果的情况下接受挑战。)”可知，作者勇敢地面对未知和挑战。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“All this happened because I consistently said “Yes” to new opportunities, embracing challenges without knowing the outcome.(这一切的发生都是因为我始终对新机会说“是”，在不知道结果的情况下接受挑战。)”可知，文章主要强调了说“是”的力量。故选A。 C Each year, an estimated one billion birds die from window collisions (碰撞事故) in the USA, making glass a top threat alongside cats and habitat loss. During migration seasons, hundreds of millions of birds fly at night. At dawn, they alight to rest and encounter glass, a material evolution has not prepared them for. Volunteers with groups like Lights Out DC walk urban routes at dawn to rescue injured birds and document deaths. They find that transparent windows appear as passable space to birds, while reflective surfaces mirror trees and sky, creating deadly illusions (错觉). Most collisions occur at lower heights, below the treeline, and are not limited to cities, though monitoring efforts are concentrated there. In Washington, DC, data collected over years shows that about half a dozen buildings with specific architectural features, like glass atriums (中庭) that lead birds to walls, account for a large share of deaths. The problem gained national attention in October 2023 when nearly a thousand birds died in one night after hitting Chicago’s McCormick Place Convention Center. This event encouraged the formation of the Bird collision Prevention Alliance, uniting over a hundred organizations to share resources and scientific solutions, focusing on practical action rather than political debate. After the mass casualty event, the Chicago convention center applied a special window film with a patterned dot matrix (矩阵). The data collected before and after showed a dramatic 95% reduction in bird collisions. While renovating large buildings can be costly, incorporating bird-friendly designs from the start of new construction is more reasonable. Only a few American cities, including Washington, DC, have carried out bird-friendly building standards. For others, change relies on advocacy. The impact of residential homes is also significant, and homeowners can help by treating windows near bird feeders or where collisions have occurred before. For volunteers documenting the losses, each death highlights a tragic conflict between nature’s marvels and the human-built environment. 8. Which can explain the underlined word “alight” in the first paragraph? A. Continue. B. Land. C. Gather. D. Remember. 9. Why do the birds die from window collisions? A. They fly too fast to stop. B. They are attracted by city lights. C. They mistake reflections for real habitat. D. They cannot fly over high-rise buildings. 10. What did the Chicago convention center’s action show? A. It was difficult for us to protect birds. B. New constructions must use a dot matrix. C. There was much political debate about the film. D. Effective methods helped prevent the collisions. 11. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A Most cities already have the practical standards. B. Homeowners cannot help prevent the collisions. C. Wider adoption of bird-friendly standards is needed. D. The advocacy of protecting birds is no longer necessary. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了鸟类因撞击玻璃而死亡的问题，包括原因、案例以及相应的解决措施和倡导。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“During migration seasons, hundreds of millions of birds fly at night. At dawn, they alight to rest and encounter glass.(在迁徙季节，数以亿计的鸟类在夜间飞行。黎明时分，它们alight休息，然后碰到玻璃)”中的“fly at night”和“At dawn”可知，鸟类在夜间飞行，在黎明时降落休息，因此“alight”在此处的意思是“着陆；降落”。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They find that transparent windows appear as passable space to birds, while reflective surfaces mirror trees and sky, creating deadly illusions.(他们发现，透明的窗户在鸟类看来是可通行的空间，而反光表面则反射出树木和天空，形成了致命的错觉)”可知，鸟类死于撞击窗户是因为它们把反射误认为是真正的栖息地。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“After the mass casualty event, the Chicago convention center applied a special window film with a patterned dot matrix. The data collected before and after showed a dramatic 95% reduction in bird collisions.(在发生大规模伤亡事件后，芝加哥会议中心应用了一种带有图案点阵的特殊窗膜。前后收集的数据显示，鸟类碰撞减少了95%)”可知，芝加哥会议中心的行为表明有效的方法有助于防止碰撞。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Only a few American cities, including Washington, DC, have carried out bird-friendly building standards. For others, change relies on advocacy. The impact of residential homes is also significant, and homeowners can help by treating windows near bird feeders or where collisions have occurred before.(只有包括华盛顿特区在内的少数美国城市实施了对鸟类友好的建筑标准。对于其他城市来说，改变依赖于倡导。住宅的影响也很显著，房主可以通过处理鸟类喂食器附近的窗户或以前发生过碰撞的地方的窗户来提供帮助)”可知，只有少数城市实施了对鸟类友好的建筑标准，其他城市需要更广泛地采用对鸟类友好的标准。故选C。 D About 20 million people die each year due to cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. Luckily, a team of researchers from the University of Nottingham in the UK have developed a machine learning algorithm (算法) that can predict your likelihood of having a heart attack or stroke as well as any doctor. The American Heart Association (AHA) has developed a series of guidelines for estimating a patient’s cardiovascular risk which is based on eight factors including age, cholesterol level and blood pressure. On average, this system correctly guesses a person’s risk at a rate of 72.8 percent. That’s pretty accurate, but Stephen Weng and his team set about to make it better. They built four computer learning algorithms, and then fed them data from 378,256 patients in the United Kingdom. The systems first used around 295,267 records to generate their internal predictive models. Then they used the remaining records to test and refine them. The algorithms results significantly outperformed the AHA guidelines, ranging from 74.5 to 76.4 percent accuracy. The neural (神经的) network algorithm tested highest, beating the existing guidelines by 7.6 percent while raising 1.6 percent fewer false alarms. Out of the 83,000 patient set of test records, this system could have saved 355 extra lives. In addition, the AI systems identified a number of risk factors and predictors not covered in the existing guidelines, like severe mental illness and the consumption of oral corticosteroids (皮质激素类). “There are a lot of interactions in biological systems,” Weng told Science. “That’s the reality of the human body. What computer science allows us to do is explore those associations.” This is where AI can transform preventative medicine. By using vast datasets to uncover complex, non-linear risk interactions beyond human analysis, these algorithms can enable earlier, more precise interventions. This represents a significant step toward a future where data-driven predictions fundamentally reshape proactive healthcare, moving beyond standardized checklists to personalized risk assessment. 12. How did the researchers get the findings? A. By analyzing patient data. B. By testing 20 million people. C. By asking doctors for opinions. D. By following the guidelines of AHA. 13. What is an advantage of the network algorithm compared with the previous system? A. Lower cost. B. Simpler operation. C. Wider applicability. D. Higher accuracy. 14. What can be implied in Weng’s words in paragraph 5? A. Human bodies are too complex to study. B. AI can help explore body interactions. C. Doctors know a little about our bodies. D. There are many algorithms about medicine. 15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Algorithms are mainly for treatment. B. AI will replace human doctors in future. C. Standardized checklists are still the best. D. AI’s potential in preventative medicine. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了英国诺丁汉大学研究团队开发的机器学习算法，该算法在预测心脏病发作和中风风险方面表现优于美国心脏协会（AHA）的现有指南，能通过分析海量患者数据挖掘更多风险因素，为预防性医疗带来精准干预的可能，推动医疗向个性化风险评估转型。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They built four computer learning algorithms, and then fed them data from 378,256 patients in the United Kingdom. The systems first used around 295,267 records to generate their internal predictive models. Then they used the remaining records to test and refine them.(他们建立了四种计算机学习算法，然后向它们输入来自英国的378256名患者的数据。这些系统首先使用大约295267条记录来生成它们的内部预测模型。然后他们用剩下的记录来测试和改进它们)”可知，研究人员是通过分析病人数据得出这些发现的。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The neural (神经的) network algorithm tested highest, beating the existing guidelines by 7.6 percent while raising 1.6 percent fewer false alarms.(神经网络算法的测试结果最高，比现有指南高出7.6%，同时误报率降低1.6%)”可知，与以前的系统相比，网络算法的准确率更高。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““There are a lot of interactions in biological systems,” Weng told Science. “That’s the reality of the human body. What computer science allows us to do is explore those associations.”(“生物系统中存在大量相互作用，” Weng向《科学》杂志表示，“这是人体的客观现实。而计算机科学能让我们做到的，就是探索这些关联。”)”可知，从Weng的话可以推断出人工智能可以帮助探索身体相互作用。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“This is where AI can transform preventative medicine. By using vast datasets to uncover complex, non-linear risk interactions beyond human analysis, these algorithms can enable earlier, more precise interventions. This represents a significant step toward a future where data-driven predictions fundamentally reshape proactive healthcare, moving beyond standardized checklists to personalized risk assessment.(这正是人工智能（AI）能够变革预防医学的关键所在。通过利用海量数据集，挖掘出人类分析难以触及的复杂、非线性风险关联，这些算法能够实现更早、更精准的干预。这标志着我们向一个全新未来迈出了重要一步 —— 在这个未来中，数据驱动的预测将从根本上重塑主动医疗，超越标准化清单，迈向个性化风险评估)”可知，最后一段主要讲了人工智能在预防医学中的潜力。故选D。 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。 Take Regular Breaks to Boost Focus When was the last time you stepped away from your computer? For many, it’s been too long. ___16___ A study from the University of Illinois offers a clear solution: regular breaks. It confirms that taking time to step back vastly improves focus, whether you’re deep in work tasks or immersed in a gaming session. The problem is that most people simply cannot remember to take a break, so intentional planning is key to making this habit stick. ___17___ Don’t rely on memory — add breaks to your calendar app and turn on notifications to avoid missing them. Treat these breaks with the same seriousness as a work meeting. If calendars don’t work for you, set repeating alarms on your phone. To make it even easier, build breaks into a consistent routine: for example, a short walk every day at 10 am or making a cup of tea each afternoon at 2 pm. ___18___ The Pomodoro Technique is another popular and effective approach. Its name comes from the tomato-shaped kitchen timer used by creator Francesco Cirillo when he first developed the method. ___19___ You pick a specific task, set a timer for 25 minutes, and work intensely during that period. When the timer goes off, take a 5-minute break. After completing four such work-and-break cycles, take a longer break — usually around 30 minutes — before starting again. For those who find it hard to stop working even when they know they should, break reminder apps available on the market are great choices. ___20___ What makes them effective is that they pop up over whatever you’re doing, forcing you to pause. Each break also comes with a helpful suggestion, like turning your head toward natural light or doing simple stretches. A. Most of them are free and reliable. B. The following steps outline how it works. C. This could be slowing down your efficiency. D. That means you don’t have to stay focused all the time. E. The factors explain why it can improve your concentration. F. These small moments help turn breaks into an automatic habit. G. Scheduling breaks into your daily routine is an effective method. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. F 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，围绕“如何通过规律休息提升专注力”展开，指出长期不休息会影响效率，进而提供了三类实用方法——将休息纳入日常日程、使用番茄工作法、借助休息提醒类应用，帮助读者养成规律休息的习惯。 【16题详解】 根据上文“For many, it’s been too long.(对很多人来说，已经太久没离开电脑了)”及下文“A study from the University of Illinois offers a clear solution: regular breaks.(伊利诺伊大学的一项研究提供了明确的解决方案：规律休息)”可知，空格处需说明“长期不休息”的负面影响，为下文“规律休息”的建议提供必要性支撑。C选项“This could be slowing down your efficiency.(这可能会降低你的效率)”中“This”指代上文“长期不离开电脑、不休息”的行为，“slowing down your efficiency”点明其危害，既承接了前文的现状描述，又自然引出下文的解决方案，逻辑连贯。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据下文“Don’t rely on memory — add breaks to your calendar app and turn on notifications to avoid missing them. Treat these breaks with the same seriousness as a work meeting. If calendars don’t work for you, set repeating alarms on your phone.(别依赖记性 —— 把休息时间添加到日历应用中，打开通知功能避免错过。对待这些休息要像对待工作会议一样认真。如果日历对你没用，就在手机上设置重复闹钟)”可知，本段核心是“通过日程规划安排休息”。G选项“Scheduling breaks into your daily routine is an effective method.(将休息安排到日常日程中是一种有效的方法)”中“Scheduling breaks into your daily routine”直接点明本段主题，“effective method”总领下文的具体规划方式（日历、闹钟、固定流程），起到提纲挈领的作用。故选G项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“To make it even easier, build breaks into a consistent routine: for example, a short walk every day at 10 am or making a cup of tea each afternoon at 2 pm.(为了更简单，将休息纳入固定流程：例如，每天上午10点短途散步，或下午2点泡杯茶)”可知，空格处需说明“固定流程式休息”的效果——让休息成为习惯。F选项“These small moments help turn breaks into an automatic habit.(这些微小的时刻有助于将休息变成一种自动习惯)”中“These small moments”指代上文“短途散步、泡杯茶”等具体休息方式，“turn breaks into an automatic habit”呼应本段主题“将休息纳入日常”，说明其最终效果，符合逻辑递进关系。故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“The Pomodoro Technique is another popular and effective approach. Its name comes from the tomato-shaped kitchen timer used by creator Francesco Cirillo when he first developed the method.(番茄工作法是另一种广受欢迎且高效的方法。其名称来源于创始人弗朗切斯科·西里洛（Francesco Cirillo）最初研发该方法时使用的番茄形状厨房计时器)”及下文“You pick a specific task, set a timer for 25 minutes, and work intensely during that period. When the timer goes off, take a 5-minute break. After completing four such work-and-break cycles, take a longer break — usually around 30 minutes — before starting again.(你选择一项具体任务，设置 25 分钟计时器，在这段时间内专注高效工作。计时器响起时，休息 5 分钟。完成四个这样的“工作 - 休息”周期后，进行一次较长时间的休息 —— 通常约 30 分钟 —— 再重新开始)”可知，空格处需衔接“介绍番茄工作法”与“具体操作步骤”，说明下文将解释其工作原理。B选项“The following steps outline how it works.(以下步骤将概述其工作原理)”中“how it works”指代番茄工作法的操作逻辑，“The following steps”直接引出下文的具体流程，起到承上启下的过渡作用。故选B项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“For those who find it hard to stop working even when they know they should, break reminder apps available on the market are great choices.(对于那些即便知道该休息，却难以停下工作的人来说，市面上的休息提醒类应用是绝佳选择)”及下文“What makes them effective is that they pop up over whatever you’re doing, forcing you to pause. Each break also comes with a helpful suggestion, like turning your head toward natural light or doing simple stretches.(这类应用之所以有效，是因为它们会在你正在做任何事时突然弹出，迫使你暂停。每次休息还会附带实用建议，比如望向自然光或做简单拉伸)”可知，空格处需补充休息提醒应用的优势，呼应“great choices”。A选项“Most of them are free and reliable.(它们大多免费且可靠)”中“Most of them”指代上文“break reminder apps”，“free and reliable”补充了应用的核心优势，既承接了“不错的选择”的评价，又为下文“有效原因”的阐述做铺垫，逻辑连贯。故选A项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 At first glance, a mess of weeds and a pile of dying leaves might seem unremarkable.

It had been eight months since we last saw them, and Alex was both excited and nervous about the trip. His grandparents had always been his favorite people in the world, and he couldn’t wait to see them again. As usual, the flight from Seattle to Boston was packed. When we arrived at the gate, I noticed a group of college students waiting to board. They were part of a volunteer team heading to a community service project. I joked with Alex that we would still be okay if anything went wrong, given how helpful volunteers usually are. Little did I know how true those words would become. Because we had checked in late, Alex and I were unable to get seats together. We were separated by the aisle (过道), which wasn’t ideal, especially since Alex had a fear of flying and had planned to hold my hand the entire way. I tried to reassure him, but he was visibly anxious. When the two passengers who were seated next to me boarded, I asked if they would be willing to switch seats with Alex and me so we could sit together. They politely declined, saying they preferred to stay in their assigned seats. Meanwhile, a few rows ahead, a young couple with their two young kids was in distress. There had been a mix-up with their boarding passes, and the family were split up. The passengers in their row were also unwilling to move, leaving the father holding their son while the mother sat several rows away with their 4-year-old daughter. The little boy, around 3 years old, was crying and reaching out for his mother. The couple were at a loss, and despite their desperate situation, no one around them seemed to notice or care. 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。 Just as the tension was rising, one of the college students stood up. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Alex, however, was still feeling anxious about not being able to sit next to me. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Just as the tension was rising, one of the college students stood up. He gestured to his teammates, and soon three of them were moving toward the distressed family. “We can switch seats with you,” he said with a smile. They quickly rearranged themselves, letting the father sit with the mother and kids. The little boy stopped crying immediately, clinging to his mother. Seeing this, the passenger next to me hesitated for a moment, then turned to me and offered to switch with Alex. Alex, however, was still feeling anxious about not being able to sit next to me. But when he saw the college students laughing and chatting with the family, his shoulders relaxed a little. As soon as he sat beside me, he grabbed my hand tightly. One of the volunteers even came over with a small toy plane, saying it might help with his fear. By the time the plane took off, Alex was no longer nervous — he was too busy talking about how cool the volunteers were. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和10岁儿子乘飞机从西雅图前往波士顿看望父母，因晚登机两人座位被过道隔开，儿子因怕飞而焦虑。作者试图与邻座乘客换座遭拒，同时前方一对年轻夫妇因登机牌出错与孩子分开，家庭陷入困境，周围人却无人愿意帮忙。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“就在气氛愈发紧张之际，一名大学生站了起来。”可知，第一段可描写大学生提出换座位，帮助了那个陷入窘境的家庭，作者身边的乘客受到影响，也提出与作者的儿子换座位。 ②由第二段首句内容“然而，Alex因为不能坐在我身边，依旧感到焦虑不安。”可知，第二段可描写Alex看到大学生和那家人聊天的场景感到放松，志愿者送来玩具飞机帮助Alex缓解焦虑以及Alex的感受。 2.续写线索：大学生主动交换座位——小男孩停止哭泣——旁边乘客提出和Alex交换座位——Alex感到放松——志愿者送礼物安抚Alex——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①交换：switch/exchange ②看见某人正在做某事：see sb doing sth/notice sb doing sth ③帮助：help/assist 情绪类 ①紧张的：nervous/tense ②放松：relax/loosen 【点睛】[高分句型1] The little boy stopped crying immediately, clinging to his mother.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] By the time the plane took off, Alex was no longer nervous — he was too busy talking about how cool the volunteers were.（运用了how引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Whether you want to ski to your heart’s content or hike past picture-perfect waterfalls, rugged peaks and broad valleys, these scenic mountain resorts are a nature lover’s dream.

In Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. B. In Cheyenne Mountain Resort. C. In Camelback Resort. D. In Mohonk Mountain House. 2. What is special about Mohonk Mountain House? A. Its long history. B. Its beautiful view. C. Its diverse activities. D. Its suitable location. 3. In which section of a newspaper is the text most likely to be read? A. Sports. B. Culture. C. Tourism. D. Finance. B For more than ten years, I was a screen and TV writer, navigating the shark-filled waters of Hollywood. Despite the constant and unavoidable ups and downs of this life, I realized many of my dreams including working with stars like Lucas and writing an Emmy-winning TV show. Then, my life took an unexpected turn. In 2011, I agreed to teach a class. I discovered a deep love for it — the engagement with students and the stable income were welcome changes. As my writing career slowed, my wife encouraged me to pursue more teaching. I researched and found a position at UC Riverside. I said “Yes” to the interview, got the job, and within years became a professor. Academy became my focus, but I remained a writer at heart. I decided to write my first novel, free from deadlines, simply for the creative joy. In 2015, an email asked if I was interested in a talk in the community. I said “Yes”. The challenge was big; a 15-minute speech in front of 500 people and three cameras. However, I succeeded, and the talk was well-received. After the speech was uploaded to the internet, it led to an email from Publisher, suggesting a book on my talk’s topic. I instead recommended my novel. They asked if I wanted to launch a pre-sale campaign to attract readers. I said “Yes”. Publisher’s founder advised me to find an editor. Again, I said “Yes”. I hired Lauren Hughes, whose insightful feedback was incredibly encouraging. I accepted her notes and revised the manuscript. The pre-sale campaign sold over 300 books, generating interest from many readers. So my first novel was published. All this happened because I consistently said “Yes” to new opportunities, embracing challenges without knowing the outcome. This philosophy keeps me engaged against the pull of aging. As a professor, I urge students to be positive. I don’t know how my novel will be received, but when asked if I have a book out, I can proudly say “Yes”. 4. What did the author think of his work in Hollywood? A. It was steady and well-paid. B. It was tiring and disappointing. C. It was fruitful despite challenges. D. It was full of unbearable pressure. 5. Which word can best describe the pre-sale campaign? A. Unexpected. B. Nationwide. C. Demanding. D. Successful. 6 What can we know about the author? A. He has always lived in a state of instability. B. He faces the unknown and challenges bravely. C. He accepted teaching mainly for its high income. D. He viewed public speaking as an unavoidable duty. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. The Power of Saying “Yes”. B. A New Chapter in My Life. C. From Hollywood to Classroom. D. The Path to Becoming an Author. C Each year, an estimated one billion birds die from window collisions (碰撞事故) in the USA, making glass a top threat alongside cats and habitat loss. During migration seasons, hundreds of millions of birds fly at night. At dawn, they alight to rest and encounter glass, a material evolution has not prepared them for. Volunteers with groups like Lights Out DC walk urban routes at dawn to rescue injured birds and document deaths. They find that transparent windows appear as passable space to birds, while reflective surfaces mirror trees and sky, creating deadly illusions (错觉). Most collisions occur at lower heights, below the treeline, and are not limited to cities, though monitoring efforts are concentrated there. In Washington, DC, data collected over years shows that about half a dozen buildings with specific architectural features, like glass atriums (中庭) that lead birds to walls, account for a large share of deaths. The problem gained national attention in October 2023 when nearly a thousand birds died in one night after hitting Chicago’s McCormick Place Convention Center. This event encouraged the formation of the Bird collision Prevention Alliance, uniting over a hundred organizations to share resources and scientific solutions, focusing on practical action rather than political debate. After the mass casualty event, the Chicago convention center applied a special window film with a patterned dot matrix (矩阵). The data collected before and after showed a dramatic 95% reduction in bird collisions. While renovating large buildings can be costly, incorporating bird-friendly designs from the start of new construction is more reasonable. Only a few American cities, including Washington, DC, have carried out bird-friendly building standards. For others, change relies on advocacy. The impact of residential homes is also significant, and homeowners can help by treating windows near bird feeders or where collisions have occurred before. For volunteers documenting the losses, each death highlights a tragic conflict between nature’s marvels and the human-built environment. 8. Which can explain the underlined word “alight” in the first paragraph? A. Continue. B. Land. C. Gather. D. Remember. 9. Why do the birds die from window collisions? A. They fly too fast to stop. B. They are attracted by city lights. C. They mistake reflections for real habitat. D. They cannot fly over high-rise buildings. 10 What did the Chicago convention center’s action show? A. It was difficult for us to protect birds. B. New constructions must use a dot matrix. C. There was much political debate about the film. D. Effective methods helped prevent the collisions. 11. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Most cities already have the practical standards. B. Homeowners cannot help prevent the collisions. C. Wider adoption of bird-friendly standards is needed. D. The advocacy of protecting birds is no longer necessary. D About 20 million people die each year due to cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. Luckily, a team of researchers from the University of Nottingham in the UK have developed a machine learning algorithm (算法) that can predict your likelihood of having a heart attack or stroke as well as any doctor. The American Heart Association (AHA) has developed a series of guidelines for estimating a patient’s cardiovascular risk which is based on eight factors including age, cholesterol level and blood pressure. On average, this system correctly guesses a person’s risk at a rate of 72.8 percent. That’s pretty accurate, but Stephen Weng and his team set about to make it better. They built four computer learning algorithms, and then fed them data from 378,256 patients in the United Kingdom. The systems first used around 295,267 records to generate their internal predictive models. Then they used the remaining records to test and refine them. The algorithms results significantly outperformed the AHA guidelines, ranging from 74.5 to 76.4 percent accuracy. The neural (神经的) network algorithm tested highest, beating the existing guidelines by 7.6 percent while raising 1.6 percent fewer false alarms. Out of the 83,000 patient set of test records, this system could have saved 355 extra lives. In addition, the AI systems identified a number of risk factors and predictors not covered in the existing guidelines, like severe mental illness and the consumption of oral corticosteroids (皮质激素类). “There are a lot of interactions in biological systems,” Weng told Science. “That’s the reality of the human body. What computer science allows us to do is explore those associations.” This is where AI can transform preventative medicine. By using vast datasets to uncover complex, non-linear risk interactions beyond human analysis, these algorithms can enable earlier, more precise interventions. This represents a significant step toward a future where data-driven predictions fundamentally reshape proactive healthcare, moving beyond standardized checklists to personalized risk assessment. 12. How did the researchers get the findings? A. By analyzing patient data. B. By testing 20 million people. C. By asking doctors for opinions. D. By following the guidelines of AHA. 13. What is an advantage of the network algorithm compared with the previous system? A. Lower cost. B. Simpler operation. C. Wider applicability. D. Higher accuracy. 14. What can be implied in Weng’s words in paragraph 5? A. Human bodies are too complex to study. B. AI can help explore body interactions. C. Doctors know a little about our bodies. D. There are many algorithms about medicine. 15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Algorithms are mainly for treatment. B. AI will replace human doctors in future. C. Standardized checklists are still the best. D. AI’s potential in preventative medicine. 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。 Take Regular Breaks to Boost Focus When was the last time you stepped away from your computer? For many, it’s been too long. ___16___ A study from the University of Illinois offers a clear solution: regular breaks. It confirms that taking time to step back vastly improves focus, whether you’re deep in work tasks or immersed in a gaming session. The problem is that most people simply cannot remember to take a break, so intentional planning is key to making this habit stick. ___17___ Don’t rely on memory — add breaks to your calendar app and turn on notifications to avoid missing them. Treat these breaks with the same seriousness as a work meeting. If calendars don’t work for you, set repeating alarms on your phone. To make it even easier, build breaks into a consistent routine: for example, a short walk every day at 10 am or making a cup of tea each afternoon at 2 pm. ___18___ The Pomodoro Technique is another popular and effective approach. Its name comes from the tomato-shaped kitchen timer used by creator Francesco Cirillo when he first developed the method. ___19___ You pick a specific task, set a timer for 25 minutes, and work intensely during that period. When the timer goes off, take a 5-minute break. After completing four such work-and-break cycles, take a longer break — usually around 30 minutes — before starting again. For those who find it hard to stop working even when they know they should, break reminder apps available on the market are great choices. ___20___ What makes them effective is that they pop up over whatever you’re doing, forcing you to pause. Each break also comes with a helpful suggestion, like turning your head toward natural light or doing simple stretches. A. Most of them are free and reliable. B. The following steps outline how it works. C. This could be slowing down your efficiency. D. That means you don’t have to stay focused all the time. E. The factors explain why it can improve your concentration. F. These small moments help turn breaks into an automatic habit. G. Scheduling breaks into your daily routine is an effective method. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 At first glance, a mess of weeds and a pile of dying leaves might seem unremarkable.

It had been eight months since we last saw them, and Alex was both excited and nervous about the trip. His grandparents had always been his favorite people in the world, and he couldn’t wait to see them again. As usual, the flight from Seattle to Boston was packed. When we arrived at the gate, I noticed a group of college students waiting to board. They were part of a volunteer team heading to a community service project. I joked with Alex that we would still be okay if anything went wrong, given how helpful volunteers usually are. Little did I know how true those words would become. Because we had checked in late, Alex and I were unable to get seats together. We were separated by the aisle (过道), which wasn’t ideal, especially since Alex had a fear of flying and had planned to hold my hand the entire way. I tried to reassure him, but he was visibly anxious. When the two passengers who were seated next to me boarded, I asked if they would be willing to switch seats with Alex and me so we could sit together. They politely declined, saying they preferred to stay in their assigned seats. Meanwhile, a few rows ahead, a young couple with their two young kids was in distress. There had been a mix-up with their boarding passes, and the family were split up. The passengers in their row were also unwilling to move, leaving the father holding their son while the mother sat several rows away with their 4-year-old daughter. The little boy, around 3 years old, was crying and reaching out for his mother. The couple were at a loss, and despite their desperate situation, no one around them seemed to notice or care. 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。 Just as the tension was rising, one of the college students stood up. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Alex, however, was still feeling anxious about not being able to sit next to me. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
