After screening.he was qualified as a perfect match. At last,Dr.Abhinav Humar,the chief transplant surgeon,performed the successful transplant.He explained Dianc's low transplant priority:"Her condition wasn't advanced enough for top listing.About 20%-25%of listed patients die before reaching the top."He cmphasized living donation's life-saving role,noting livers regenerate fully in both donor and recipient within weeks.

C Music is a powerful,evidence-based tool for promoting mental health.As one of the most accessible ways to regulate our mental state,it is often underestimated for in its potential.It is time to accept the healing power of music not only in clinical settings,but also in daily life. We know music can stir emotions.ease nerves and make us cry.But research reveals it can also change the content of our thoughts.In a 2019 study,participants listened to beroic or sad music while their minds wandered. Uplifting music set off energizing and constructive thoughts,while sad music aroused calmer or more demotivaring ones. Our minds frequently wander,with daydreaming occupying nearly half of our waking time.Even pleasant thoughts rarely improve mood significantly.Why?Because the brain's default mode network(DMN)supporting imagination,memory and reflection often causcs repeated and negative thought circles. Recent studies indicate that negative daydreams,especially when accompanied by sad music,engage the brain's pain network and the DMN.Certain brain regions help regulate this link.Unsettling thoughts not only cause mental discomfort but also activate the same brain regions responsible for physical pain. Fortunately,the DMN has a natural counterpart:the control network,supporting focus and goal-directed behaviour.These two systems are anti-correlated,meaning when one is active,the other quiets down.Music, espccially when we engage actively can shift us into this adaptive mode,interrupting negative cycles and providing a cognitive )"reset".A 2023 study found that people tapping to music felt less physical pain under pressure than passive listeners,boosting pain-reducing effects to a clinically meaningful degree. If music can do all this,it needs to be recognised as far more than the lifestyle nccessory.Music should be integrated into schools,public health strategies,and daily routines.And music education should be seen as a way to care for the brain and social medicine.Next time your stress begins to bite,try to turn to music instead of the news. Your brain and socicty might thank you. 28.What did the 2019 study primarily find? 2026届高三类语月考5试卷第3页/共8页 骑器CS扫描全能王 病1见人群直用的月罐A中 0-……2…-。4-- A.Music can transform thoughts.

A.It facilitates deep thoughts. B.It generates depressing phases. C.It stops musical intervention. D.It controls physical pain nctworks. 30.What docs the underlined word"counterpart"in paragraph 5 probably mean? A.Function. B.Product C.Match. D.Programme. 31.What can we learn about music from the last paragraph? A.It should be used in technology. B.It requires more scientific research. C.It can replace clinical treatments. D.It deserves broader social application. Titan,Saturn's largest moon,is blanketed in smog,rich in surface organic molecules ()However,its surface is extremely cold,around-179C,making chemical reactions for life progress very slowly. Scientists believe a vast liquid ocean,holding 12 times the volume of Earth's oceans combined,exists deep underground where it's warmer.Similar oceans may exist on moons like Jupiter's moons Europa and Ganymede. where there could be liquid water,often suggesting possible life.but researcher Catherine Neish and her team challenge this idea. Their research suggests that for Titan's ocean to support life,a significant amount of organic molecules from the surface must reach it to start the chemistry needed for life.The main way this could happen is through comet (impacts.Impacts melt surface ice,creating pools of water mixed with organics.Because liquid water is denser than icc,these pools could sink.However,Neish's models show comet strikes are too infrequent to deliver enough organic material. Her team estimates only about 7,500 kilograms of simple amino acid (reach Titan's occan every year. While this sounds substantial,it's equal to the mass of one male African elephant spread across an ocean with a dozen times the volume of Earth's oceans,truly a drop in the ocean.Even in this most optimistic scenario,there's not enough organics transported into Titan's occan to sustain lifo there. Other possibilities exist,like some hot vents on the seafloor where water meets rock.making all kinds of molecules erupt and set off complex chemical reactions that could support life.Could similar interal sources provide organics on Titnn?Neish doesn't rule this out,but points out a concer:organics from Titan's interior might be mostly molecules with exceptional stability,which ure difficult to transform into essential biological units like amino acids. While directly cxploring these oceans to find life is still far oft.Noish's research highlights the value of NASA's planned Dragonfly mission to Titan.If Neish is correct,Drugonfly could find sites where comet impacts 2026屁高三英诒月考5试卷第4页/共8页 器CS扫描全能王 病见人影直用的日mAe 0-……2…-。4-- mixed water and organics.allowing scicntists to study prebiological chemisuy similar to what led to life on Earth. 32.What can make chemical reactions slow on Titan? A.The thick smog. B.The comet impacts. C.The extreme climate D.The absence of organics 33.How does the author emphasize the insufficiency of organics? A.By listing difterent sources B.By providing exact statistics. C.By quoting experts'opinions. D.By making a vivid comparison. 34.What can be inferred about internal organic sources from Titan? A.They contain enough liquid water B.They have special chemical nature. C.They contribute to life's development. D.They are identical to those on the Earth. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.A Suitable Ground for Life B.The Secret Leading to Life. C.Prospects for Life on Titan. D.A Mission to Explore Titan. 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。 Are you able to cook a healthy meal?Are you able to manage your money well?Are you able to sew on a button?36This highlights a significant gap in modern education,which heavily prioritizes academic achievement and strict testing,often at the expense of practical life skills. Schools have done well in preparing us to be academic achievers in school,but may not have prepared us well enough in developing life skills.37 For those without these basic skills,the pandemic lockdown was a rude shock.With restaurants closed and home services stopped,it would have been satisfying to cook a meal or fix a lignt bulb.It's a shame that schools produce scholarly individuals who are unprepared for simple home tasks. 38 For example,financial management fosters responsibility and caution,while lessons on investment teach wealth growth.Equipped with this literacy,students can better discuss financial goals with parents,and budgeting knowledge can steer them away from overspending.Thus,in our complex world.schools must teach beyond academic subjects. After all,all the responsibility cannot be transferred to the home.The argument for parents teaching practical life skills overlooks modern realities.Many working parents lack the time,and some may not possess the proficiency themselves.39. Sandra Carey,a writer,puts it appropriatcly:"Never mistake knowledge for wisdom.One helps you make a living;the other helps you make a life."School is not simply a place to pass knowledge and prepare us for a career.40 A.Thus,a balanced approach is nceded carly on. 2026届高三英语月考5试粉弟5页/共8贞 器国扫描全能王 编觉人直用的日A中 …2…--42-- B.For instance,many communities offer evening classes for adults. C.Instead.it equips us with the wisdom to construct a fulfilling life. D.Not many of us can confidently nod our heads to these questions. E.Consequently,the central role in bridging this gap must fall to our schools. F.By integrating practical skills,schools can teach a more complete set of life values. G.Yet practical skills such as cooking and housekeeping are essential in the real world. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小趣：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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I was thity four the first time I saw the real Santa.He drove a big,charcoal-colored 41 through Georgia's August heat-no reindeer,no beard,just 42 grace.
