B Kriger was 19 when doctors told him his recent nosebleed and the pain in his leg bones were from leukemia,a cancer he had never heard of.Hospitalized and bed-bound in Hamburg,his weight dropped from 176 pounds to 88.To try to lift his mother's spirits,Kriger smiled and often told jokes.But when it came to his illness,he fought like a lion.Still,the cancer wouldn't leave him. A doctor told him his only remaining option was a stem cell transplant.His family members got tested.None matched.Two stem cell registration events were held near his hometown, attended by a total of about 3,000 people.Still,no luck.Then his doctor told him somebody had turned up in the United States who might be a match for him. Tingle,54 years old,was well beyond what is often considered the prime age for stem cell donation.But she was informed just before Christmas that she appeared to be a match for someone else with leukemia in donating."There are not many opportunities in life to know that you have truly saved someone's life,"Tingle says.She called it one of the greatest privileges of her life.She had her blood tested and traveled to the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville,Florida,to have a physical examination to ensure she was healthy enough.Each step of the way,she could have dropped out.However,luckily,Tingle turned out to be Kriger's nearly perfect stem cell match.So she had donated some and waited,praying for the stranger. Then months later,the letter arrived"...Without you I wouldn't be alive anymore...It's an amazing feeling to know that there is someone on the other side of the world who I am connected to so deeply."Kriger and Tingle met for the first time in 2019.Kriger was amazed by the connections that brought him and Tingle together and intended to register in case his stem cells could help save someone else. 高二年级英语试卷第4页共12页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap 24.What was Kriger's reaction after being diagnosed with leukemia?

C Everyone knows walking is good for you,and many of us count our daily steps.But is it better to take a longer walk than a comparable number of steps spread across the day?A recent multinational study reveals that walking in longer continuous sessions provides greater health benefits than accumulating the same number of steps through short bursts throughout the day. Researchers analyzed data from 33,560 British adults aged 40-79 who averaged less than 8,000 daily steps.Participants were asked to wear an accelerometer for about seven days to establish how much they typically walk.Participants were sorted into four categories according to whether they accumulated most of their steps:under 5 minutes,5-10 minutes,10-15 minutes, or over 15 minutes.Scientists found that those who mainly walked in more than 15 minute sessions showed an83%lower mortality(死亡)risk and68%lower cardiovasculart(心血管的) disease risk compared to those taking less than 5 minutes'walks. "We tend to place all the emphasis on the number of steps or the total amount of walking but neglect the crucial role of patterns,"said Emmanuel Stamatakis,one of the researchers,who is 高二年级英语试卷第5页共12页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap director of the University of Sydney's Mackenzie Wearables Research Hub in Sydney, Australia."The study shows that even people who are very physically inactive can maximize their heart health benefit by tweaking their walking patterns to walk for longer at a time,ideally for at least 10-15 minutes." But the researchers took steps to determine whether better health caused the longer walks rather than vice versa.For instance,they analyzed their findings without including volunteers who were reported fair or poor health,yet results were still "in line with those of our main analyses." Aiden Doherty,a professor at the University of Oxford said the study was conducted "by some of the world's leading physical activity researchers"and introduced a brand new concept, but"the results need to be reproduced in other studies in other countries to see if this might be due to a direct causal relationship rather than a simple connection between factors." 28.How did the researchers categorize the participants in the study? A.By their age groups and national backgrounds. B.By the condition of their cardiovascular health C.By the total number of steps they took within a day. D.By the length of their continuous walking sessions. 29.The underlined word "tweaking"in paragraph 3 most probably means A.replacing completely B.adjusting slightly C.criticizing severely D measuring accurately 30.What is Professor Doherty's attitude toward the findings? A.Favorable B.Cautious C Disapproving D.Indifferent 31.Which is the best title for the passage? A.Walking More Steps Leads to Better Health. B.Older Adults Should Prioritize More Walking C.Walking Patterns Significantly Affect Longevity. D.Walking Style Matters More Than Step Count. 高二年级英语试卷第6页共12页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APF D It's a traditional belief that the human brain's two hemispheres()indicate distinct personality characteristics:creative souls are said to rely on a dominant right hemisphere,while analytical thinkers lean heavily on the left.But modern brain research is challenging this long-held myth,revealing a far more integrated picture of brain function. The idea of"left-brained"or"right-brained"individuals gained popularity in pop psychology, yet experimental evidence to support this binary split(二元化分)has remained rare.To settle the debate,a research team at the University of Utah carried out a comprebensive study, dividing the brain into over 7,000 functional regions and analyzing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRD)scans of 1,011 participants.Their goal was to measure whether neural(networks on one side of the brain were naturally stronger or more active than those on the other. Published in the peer-reviewed journal PLOSONE,the findings strongly challenged the myth of hemisphere dominance.The researchers detected no significant differences in the strength or activity levels of neural networks across the two hemispheres.Instead,they found that the brain operates like an interconnected network of computers:local neurons,which communicate more efficiently than distant ones,form organized "centers"to handle specific tasks.This localization minimizes the need for cross-hemisphere signal sending,boosting overall efficiency. These functional hubs tend to gather on the same side of the brain when their roles are related.A classic example is language processing:in approximately 90%of people,the brain regions responsible for speech production,reasoning,and comprehension are concentrated in the left hemisphere.This asymmetry(不对称)，however,,does not equal to dominance-it merely reflects functional specialization. The study confirms that while certain brain areas exhibit structural or functional asymmetry, both hemispheres are used relatively equally in daily thinking and learning.This means the potential for both analytical and creative excellence exists in every individual.After all, history's greatest minds-Leonardo da Vinci,a towering figure in both art and science-illustrate the brain's remarkable ability to integrate diverse talents. 32.What was the core finding of the University of Utah study? A.Brain hemispheres have relatively equal activity levels. B.Left-brain dominance is the key to language development C.Creative thinking is controlled by the right hemisphere. D.fMRI scans are reliable and necessary for brain studies. 高二年级英语试卷第7页共12页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP 33.Which statement is TRUE according to the new findings? A.The left brain dominates analytical thinking. B.Not everyone's speech regions are left-located. C.Language hubs spread across both hemispheres. D.Traditional hemisphere theory has solid support. 34.Why does the author mention Leonardo da Vinci? A.To stress the size of the study's sample. B.To criticize outdated theories on the brain. C.To show creativity and analysis could combine. D.To compare ancient and modern scientists'work. 35.What is the text mainly about? A.The description of brain functional specialization B.The analysis of factors influencing brain asymmetry. C.The Introduction of fMRI-based brain research method. D.The rejection of the brain hemisphere dominance myth. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Be Courageous,Be You Many people struggle with confidence regularly.You've probably heard ways to feel more selfconfident,from speaking in public to dressing neatly.36_These surface-level methods might offer temporary comfort,but understanding underlying causes helps truly believe in yourself for the long term. PURSUING PERFECTION "Confidence issues often originate from multiple interrelated factors."Explaining this, Marianne Trent,a psychologist,states that confidence can be seriously blocked by aiming too high and refusing to accept anything less than perfection.37 For example,you might spend nights worrying about an upcoming competition,constantly imagining you'll stumble over words or the opponent will win the game-these are clear signs that perfectionism is ruining your confidence little by little. BELIEVING THE WORST "Self-limiting beliefs are negative thoughts that make us doubt ourselves,even when we can do the thing well,"says Marianne.These thoughts usually arise in two common ways:They are either unnecessary fear of failing or ignoring kind words.You might worry about failing for no good reason,like thinking"I'll mess up the simple task"though you've done it right before.38 高二年级英语试卷第8页共12页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap TAKING THE PAST AS PROOF Previous experiences can cast a long shadow on our present confidence.If you once tripped on stage,you might fear speaking up in class later.19 For instance,a past awkward conversation might make you avoid group discussions now. LINKING ANXIETY TO EXPERIENCES 40 One common link is social anxiety:past stressful moments can shape how nervous we feel in new social settings.For example,if you felt overwhelmed at a former team meeting, you might fear joining a new group project.Once you've located what's affecting your confidence,you can start moving forward. A.Daily routines influence long-term confidence. B.Or you may neglect praise,thinking"They're just being nice." C.Recognizing personal growth milestones can rebuild self-assurance. D.Past negative experiences tie closely to feelings of anxiety in new situations. E.She refers to perfectionism as a barrier:comparing ourselves to better others. F.However,these approaches don't address why you doubt yourself completely. G.This is because our brains store negative episodes and match them to similar new situations. 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。 On my son Andrew'sl5 th birthday,I took him,a nonspeaking autistic(自闭症)，to a shoe store near our home in Toronto to get a pair of trainers."Size 41 of those black ones,please,"I told the clerk.Andrew 41 his feet into the shoes with no complaint.A perfect fit.The clerk 42 them up.Instead of having Andrew point to the "thank you"43 on his picture chart,I held up his letter board and encouraged him to thank her via it,with which he could 44 words,statements,and thoughts.
