【解析】
【原文】Good evening, I’m your old friend Lisa Brown. Tonight, I’d like to tell you about a new site for tourists in the northern Philippines. A long lasting drought has caused water in a dam there to disappear. As a result, the ruins of a centuries old town showed up. The dried up dam has exposed the foundations of some old buildings. This newfound site immediately drew the attention of the locals. Residents like Aurea Delos Santos, a retired nurse, express excitement at the sight. It has become an attraction for them and foreign tourists. Therefore, it serves as an additional source of income in an area relying on agriculture. Some locals, like the fisherman Nelson Dellera, have taken the opportunity to profit by taking tourists to the site. The old town had been moved somewhere else in the 1970s during the dam’s construction. The dam now plays an important role in providing water to the region, so the appearance of the site has also caused some concerns. Locals hope the dam will be filled with water again. That’s all for tonight’s program. Thank you for your listening.
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。
Four Cultural Traditions Protected by UNESCO
Culture is more than buildings and natural wonders. It can also be oral traditions or social practices. Here are some cultural traditions recognized by UNESCO.
Reggae music
Few things are distinctively Jamaican quite like reggae music. The unique sound and style is a combination of earlier Jamaican forms, as well as Caribbean, North American and Latin forms, Neo-African styles, soul and rhythm and blues from North America. The music came to represent the sidelined groups and address issues of social injustice.
Hurling (爱尔兰曲棍球) and camogie
Hurling is one of the oldest field games in the world, with the first literary reference dating back to 1272 BCE. It is described as a combination of lacrosse, field hockey and baseball. Helmets and face masks are worn. Players use a hurley(wooden stick with a flat end)to throw a sliotar(ball)back and forth while attempting to make a goal. Camogie is the female version of the sport.
Catalonian castells
Castells, a practice of building human towers, represents a defining cultural tradition in Catalonia in Spain. Teams compete to construct the tallest and most complicated human towers. People of all ages can help support the base of these towers, but only those with the knowledge passed down through generations and the practice may climb and form the upper tower.
Egyptian hand puppetry(埃及手偶表演艺术)
Hand puppetry is popular throughout Egypt and involves a puppeteer hiding inside a movable stage while an assistant interacts with the audience. Al-Aragoz is the name of the main puppet, which has a unique voice that’s created with a voice modifier (变声器). Traditionally, the puppeteers were traveling performers. Now, they are found in more urban settings such as Cairo.
21. Which tradition once served as a voice for socially disadvantaged people?
A. Reggae music. B. Hurling and camogie.
C. Catalonian castells. D. Egyptian hand puppetry.
22. Who is allowed to climb the human towers in Catalonian castells?
A. Courageous people of all ages.
B. Anyone who supports the base.
C. Those who are physically strong.
D. People with professional training.
23. What change has occurred to Egyptian hand puppetry?
A. The puppeteer interacts with the audience.
B. More performances can be seen in cities.
C. The main puppet’s name has been changed.
D. The unique voice technique was abandoned.
【答案】21. A 22. D 23. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了被联合国教科文组织保护的四项文化传统,还说明了各自特点及变化。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Reggae music部分“The music came to represent the sidelined groups and address issues of social injustice. (这种音乐开始代表被边缘化的群体,并涉及社会不公正问题)”可知,Reggae音乐曾经为社会弱势群体发声。故选A。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Catalonian castells部分“People of all ages can help support the base of these towers, but only those with the knowledge passed down through generations and the practice may climb and form the upper tower. (各个年龄段的人都可以帮助支撑这些塔的底部,但只有那些通过世代传承的知识和实践的人才能攀爬并形成上层塔)”可知,只有经过专业训练的人才能攀爬人塔。故选D。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据Egyptian hand puppetry部分“Traditionally, the puppeteers were traveling performers. Now, they are found in more urban settings such as Cairo. (传统上,木偶师是巡回表演者。现在,他们在更多的城市环境中出现,比如开罗)”可知,埃及手偶表演艺术从巡回表演转变为了在城市环境中表演,即更多的表演可以在城市中看到。故选B。
The whistle blew, and the celebration erupted. Tears streamed down Kevin’s face as he watched his teammates lifted the state championship trophy (奖杯) — a moment he had dreamed of, yet experienced from the sideline, his right eye covered by a protective shield.
Months earlier, Kevin was a promising center, a key to his team’s title hopes. Then, during a practice, an accident severely injured his eye. The diagnosis was a huge blow: a detached retina (视网膜脱落). Surgery could save his sight, but his season was over. “It felt like my identity was ripped away,” he said later.
Consumed by frustration, he initially distanced himself. But a conversation with his coach changed his perspective. “You see the game in a way others don’t,” the coach said. “We still need that.” Thus, Kevin embarked on an unexpected path. While his body healed, his mind went to work. He became the team’s chief video analyst and game advisor, identifying opponents’ weaknesses and suggesting adjustments.
His new role reached its peak during the state finals. At halftime, his team was losing, their offense stuck. In the locker room, the coach turned to him. “What do you see, Kevin?” Relying on hours of film study, Kevin pointed out a flaw in the opponent’s full-court press. He diagrammed a simple but effective passing plan to break it. The coach listened and implemented the plan.
The second half was a surprise. The press was broken repeatedly, leading to easy baskets. The momentum (势头) shifted entirely. As the final buzzer sounded, Kevin was surrounded by his celebrating teammates. In the championship photo, he stands at the center, the trophy passed into his hands. He hadn’t scored a point, but he had helped engineer the victory.
Kevin’s story redefines what it means to win. It’s a testament that contribution isn’t confined to physical performance; leadership, intellect, and an unbreakable spirit are equally powerful weapons. True victory lies not in never falling, but in finding a new way to rise and lift others up with you.
24. What was the main change in Kevin’s role on the team after his injury?
A. From a leader to a supporter. B. From a starter to a bench player.
C. From a player to a strategy analyst. D. From a player to a team motivator.
25. What does the coach intend to convey by saying “You see the game in a way others don’t”?
A. Kevin was a keener observer than other players.
B. Kevin’s experience equipped him with unique game insight.
C. Kevin grasped the coach’s tactical intentions better than others.
D. Kevin’s injury made him more sensitive to the team’s problems.
26. How would you describe Kevin’s halftime advice during the finals?
A. A comforting guess that unexpectedly worked. B. A well-studied solution based on careful observation.
C. A simple idea that anyone could have thought of. D. A risky plan that replaced the coach’s strategy.
27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Never Give Up: A Story of Persistence.
B. United We Stand: The Power of Teamwork.
C. More Than Scoring: Winning in Different Ways.
D. Redefining the Game: An unexpected Path to Self-Growth.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. B 27. C
【解析】

Rice, a common food, can do more than just fill your stomach. Scientists at Healthgen Biotechnology, a Chinese company in Wuhan, Hubei province, are now genetically engineering rice plants to produce Human Serum Albumin (HSA, 人血清白蛋白), a crucial blood protein.
HSA is the smallest but the most common of all plasma proteins (血浆蛋白). Created by the liver, HSA helps maintain a balance of fluid between blood vessels (血管) and the tissues around them. A lack of plasma proteins may cause fluid to leak from blood vessels. HSA is vital in treating burns, severe bleeding and cancers. Normally, people get HSA from blood donors. However, its production has been limited by the availability of healthy donor blood. Previously, in China, over 60 percent of the annual demand for HSA had to be imported.
Healthgen’s technology could be a game changer. It puts human genes into rice plants. This process essentially turns rice plants into protein factories — as the plants grow, more and more HSA is made and kept in the seeds, which are then harvested for HSA extraction.
This method, known as molecular farming (分子农业), offers several benefits. It doesn’t rely on blood donations, so there is no risk of virus spread. It is also cost-effective, as increasing production only requires growing more rice. What’s more, dried rice seeds can be kept for three to five years without losing protein activity. The rice’s genetic stability provides consistent quality in each group of HSA.
Currently, Healthgen makes 1 million doses of its world’s first rice-made HSA drug annually, said Hubei Daily. The company is building another plant set to open in 2026, which will increase production to 130 tons a year and replace 25 percent of imported HSA.
28. What is the purpose of Healthgen’s project?
A. To increase rice yield for medical use. B. To develop a new type of blood plasma.
C. To create disease-resistant rice varieties. D. To make rice a new source of blood protein.
29. What can we learn about HSA from the text?
A. It helps regulate body fluid movement. B. It strengthens the walls of blood vessels.
C. It is made by the heart to aid circulation. D. It provides immediate relief for burn patients.
30. What problem does molecular farming help solve?
A. The safety risk of genetic modification B. The decline of rice production in China.
C. The shortage of blood-based HSA supply. D. The rising cost of importing medical drugs.
31. What can be inferred about Healthgen’s future development?
A. It plans to export its HSA products abroad. B. It will stop using imported medical proteins
C. It will grow other genetically modified crops. D. It will largely reduce reliance on imported HSA.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了武汉禾元生物科技公司通过基因工程技术,将水稻培育成生产人血清白蛋白(HSA)的工厂,这种创新方法不仅解决了HSA供应短缺的问题,还降低了生产成本和病毒传播风险,提高了产品质量稳定性。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Scientists at Healthgen Biotechnology, a Chinese company in Wuhan, Hubei province, are now genetically engineering rice plants to produce Human Serum Albumin (HSA, 人血清白蛋白), a crucial blood protein.(湖北省武汉市的一家中国公司禾元生物科技的科学家们目前正在对水稻植株进行基因工程改造,以生产一种重要的血液蛋白——人血清白蛋白(HSA)。)”可知,Healthgen项目的目的是使水稻成为血液蛋白的新来源。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Created by the liver, HSA helps maintain a balance of fluid between blood vessels and the tissues around them.(HSA由肝脏产生,有助于维持血管和周围组织之间的液体平衡。)”可知,HSA有助于调节体液运动。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“This method, known as molecular farming, offers several benefits. It doesn’t rely on blood donations, so there is no risk of virus spread.(这种方法被称为分子农业,有几个好处。它不依赖献血,所以没有病毒传播的风险。)”可知,分子农业有助于解决基于血液的HSA供应短缺的问题。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Currently, Healthgen makes 1 million doses of its world’s first rice-made HSA drug annually, said Hubei Daily. The company is building another plant set to open in 2026, which will increase production to 130 tons a year and replace 25 percent of imported HAS.(据《湖北日报》报道,目前,禾元生物每年生产100万剂世界上第一种水稻制成的HSA药物。该公司正在建设另一家工厂,计划于2026年开业,届时年产量将增加到130吨,取代25%的进口HAS。)”可知,Healthgen的未来发展将大幅减少对进口HSA的依赖。故选D。
If you’ve ever thought it would be great to walk into a room and know whether a harmful airborne virus is hanging around, scientists have a device for you. Researchers have created a new machine, a little bigger than a bread maker, which can quickly detect the airborne viruses. Rajan Chakrabarty, a scientist at Washington University in St. Louis, worked with his team nonstop for three years to create the detector. One of the main challenges when they sample the airborne viruses is collecting enough air to concentrate viral particles (颗粒) at detectable levels. This detector pulls in 1,000 cubic meters of air each minute, compared to previous detectors which breathed in 2 to 8 cubic meters of air per minute.
“To trap the virus, we create an artificial cyclone (旋风) inside the sampler,” Chakrabarty says. “By moving liquid around at a high rate, viruses get trapped in the cyclone wall and concentrated for analysis. Any virus not captured in the liquid is filtered (过滤) out with a HEPA filter. After five minutes, the liquid is pumped to a biosensor. The biosensor consists of an electrode attached to a specialized immune system protein that fights infections much like antibodies but is smaller and tougher. The biosensor is based on a detector,”
To test the detector, the researchers sent the device to the apartments of two people with viral infections. “The device detected amounts of virus shed by the patients,” Chakrabarty says. Air collected from an empty conference room showed little sign of the virus. This indicates that the patients eliminated the virus and released it into the air through actions like breathing, talking, coughing, or sneezing, but only in very small amounts.
There are still some challenges. For instance, the device is as noisy as a cleaner or a ringing phone. That’s probably too loud for continuous use in a classroom or office, but could be tolerated for 10 minutes. Such detectors cost much money to build in a research lab. Commercial versions may be too expensive for home use but could be used in hospitals, airports, and other public areas to survey for the virus.
32. What does the data in the first paragraph show about the new machine?
A. The small size. B. The speedy virus detection.
C. The sampling time. D. The limited detectable level.
33. What does Chakrabarty mainly say about the new machine in paragraph 2?
A. Its working process. B. Its maximum volume.
C. Its logical ability to analyse viruses. D. Its special system to concentrate air.
34. What does the underlined word “shed” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Discovered. B. Indicated. C. Controlled. D. Removed.
35. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. A Machine: Trapping Viral Particles B. A Biosensor: Fighting Viral Infections
C. A Detector: Spotting Viruses in the Air D. A Device: Collecting the Airborne Viruses
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了一款新型空气病毒探测器,包括其研发背景、工作原理、测试效果及目前存在的不足与适用场景。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“One of the main challenges when they sample the airborne viruses is collecting enough air to concentrate viral particles (颗粒) at detectable levels. This detector pulls in 1,000 cubic meters of air each minute, compared to previous detectors which breathed in 2 to 8 cubic meters of air per minute. (当他们对空气中的病毒进行采样时,主要的挑战之一是收集足够的空气来将病毒颗粒浓缩到可检测的水平。这款探测器每分钟吸入1000立方米的空气,而之前的探测器每分钟仅吸入2到8立方米的空气)”可知,新探测器的空气吸入量远高于旧款,能更快收集足够空气浓缩病毒颗粒,体现了其病毒检测的高效性。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“To trap the virus, we create an artificial cyclone (旋风) inside the sampler (为了捕获病毒,我们在采样器内制造了一个人工旋风)”及“By moving liquid around at a high rate, viruses get trapped in the cyclone wall and concentrated for analysis. Any virus not captured in the liquid is filtered (过滤) out with a HEPA filter. After five minutes, the liquid is pumped to a biosensor. (通过高速搅动液体,病毒会被截留在旋风壁上并浓缩以进行分析,液体中未捕获的任何病毒都用高效微粒过滤器过滤掉,五分钟后,液体被泵入生物传感器)”可知,Chakrabarty主要介绍了探测器从捕获病毒、浓缩颗粒到用生物传感器检测的完整工作流程。故选A项。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“The device detected amounts of virus shed by the patients,” Chakrabarty says. Air collected from an empty conference room showed little sign of the virus. This indicates that the patients eliminated the virus and released it into the air through actions like breathing, talking, coughing, or sneezing, but only in very small amounts. (Chakrabarty说:“该设备检测到患者____的病毒数量。”从一间空会议室收集的空气几乎没有显示出病毒的迹象。这表明患者排出了病毒,并通过呼吸、说话、咳嗽或打喷嚏等行为将病毒释放到空气中,但数量非常少)”可知,此处解释了病毒是如何被患者排出并释放到空气中的。因此,划线词shed与released构成同义复现,意为“散发、排出”,“Removed (排出)”意思相近。故选D项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段介绍了新型空气病毒探测器的研发背景,说明其空气吸入量远高于旧款,解决了病毒颗粒浓缩的难题;第二段阐述了探测器人工旋风捕获病毒、液体浓缩、生物传感器检测的工作原理;第三段说明了探测器的测试效果,能检测到患者排出到空气中的微量病毒;第四段指出探测器存在噪音大、成本高的不足,及医院、机场等公共区域的适用场景。文章围绕“能检测空气中病毒的新型探测器”展开,介绍了其功能、原理和应用场景等,“A Detector: Spotting Viruses in the Air (一款探测器:识别空气中的病毒)”精准概括了核心内容,最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。

Humor is a universal language, but each country or culture has its unique style. A great example of this is Australia.
In Australia, people enjoy making fun of each other as a way to joke around or lighten the mood. For example, “What happened to your hair? It looks like a bird’s nest.” In other cultures, saying this could be risky, as it might lead to a loss of face or dignity. ____36____ The closer you are to someone, the more honest you can be. After such a comment, your friend will likely laugh and appreciate your honesty — while fixing their “bird’s nest” hairstyle.
____37____ An Australian might say, “When I sing, it sounds like two cats fighting on the street.” Australians enjoy making fun of themselves, sharing embarrassing moments or making light of their own shortcomings. ____38____ Some believe this way of joking comes from Australia’s history, where prisoners did not agree with fixed social levels or class differences.
Sarcasm (冷面幽默) is also a popular form of humor in Australia. ____39____ “On our last shark-watching tour, we left with 20 passengers, but only five came back. I really have no idea what happened to the other 15.” Tourists unfamiliar with Australian humor might believe this was a serious statement, imagining the missing passengers were eaten by sharks! ____40____ In fact, it’s just another way Australians connect and share a laugh.
A. For instance, a tour guide might joke with a straight face,
B. This kind of humor often surprises visitors from other countries.
C. Self-deprecation (自嘲) is another key part of Australian humor.
D. Australians also enjoy telling stories about their wildlife adventures,
E. However, in Australia, such jokes indicate closeness and comfort between friends.
F. This shows they don’t take themselves too seriously, making them more approachable.
G. Therefore, it’s important to be careful when using humor in cross-cultural communication.
【答案】36. E 37. C 38. F 39. A 40. B

Dear Peter,
I’m excited to hear about your school’s upcoming activity! Between the two options, I strongly recommend you choose to be a teaching assistant at the primary school.
As a native English speaker, you can offer young students invaluable help with their pronunciation, listening, and even cultural understanding — something textbooks can’t fully provide. This experience will not only deepen your connection with Chinese children but also give you insight into China’s education system. While learning Chinese cooking is fun and tasty, teaching lets you share your language and build meaningful relationships.
Hope this helps!
Yours,
Li Hua

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。词数应为150左右。
Now I remember when I was in middle school, I often screamed, “Oh, no! It’s Thursday again!” as I looked at the table calendar. What made Thursdays so terrible was our two-hour sports period. Physical activities never came easily to me. I was always the one picked last for teams, the one who needed extra breaks before the finish line, the one whose legs just couldn’t move as fast as everyone else’s.
That particular Thursday filled me with special fear because of the 100m race. My classmates all knew sports weren’t my strength. Every run left me completely exhausted and defeated, the walk back to class requiring all my remaining energy and determination just to keep moving. No matter how hard I tried, I always finished last-the sympathetic looks from teachers and quiet laughter from classmates cutting deeper than any physical exhaustion. Eventually, I started skipping school on sports days altogether, hoping the ground would swallow me whole rather than face another race.
That afternoon, anxiety had completely overwhelmed me. My mother, familiar with my suffering, gently lifted my chin until our eyes met. Tears spilled over as I admitted, “Mom! I can’t do the race. It’s not just the running-it’s the way they all watch me, like I’m some kind of failure. It hurts so much when everyone sees me struggle. Even the coaches look at me with disappointment. I just want to hide in the classroom — at least there I’m safe from feeling so... inadequate.”
My mother smiled with warm understanding. “Life won’t always fit our comfort,” she said softly. “But running away won’t make you stronger. It’s okay to be afraid, but don’t let fear decide who you are. If not everyone approves of you — or if you don’t approve of everyone — that’s all right. What matters is being able to meet your own eyes in the mirror.” Her words became my guide, and gradually, my perspective began to shift, allowing a quiet courage to take root in my heart.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右;
(2) 请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
After hearing my mom’s words, I believed I could change.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
That small change didn’t make me run faster right away, but it shifted the way I faced the track.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
After hearing my mom’s words, I believed I could change. The next Thursday, though my heart still pounded with fear, I walked onto the field instead of hiding. As we lined up for the 100m race, I avoided looking at anyone’s face and focused on my own breathing. When the whistle blew, I pushed forward, legs heavy and clumsy as usual. But this time, I kept my eyes fixed on the track ahead, repeating my mother’s words in my mind. Even as others raced past me, I didn’t stop. For the first time, I was running for myself — not to avoid embarrassment, but to prove I could face what scared me.
That small change didn’t make me run faster right away, but it shifted the way I faced the track. I still finished last, yet instead of shame, I felt a strange calm. On the walk back, a classmate quietly said, “You kept going — that was brave.” No one laughed this time. I realized that courage isn’t about winning; it’s about standing up even when you’re afraid. From then on, I showed up every Thursday, not as the fastest, but as someone who no longer let fear write her story. And in the mirror each morning, I began to see not a failure, but a girl growing stronger step by step.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者中学时不擅长体育,周四下午的100米比赛让作者尤其恐惧,妈妈了解到作者的焦虑后温柔鼓励作者,听完妈妈的话后一种默默的勇气在作者心中扎根。

②由第二段首句内容“这个小小的改变并没有让我马上跑得更快,但它改变了我面对跑道的方式。”可知,第二段可描写作者赛后虽然没有提高成绩,但是心态发生了改变。

Four Cultural Traditions Protected by UNESCO
Culture is more than buildings and natural wonders. It can also be oral traditions or social practices. Here are some cultural traditions recognized by UNESCO.
Reggae music
Few things are distinctively Jamaican quite like reggae music. The unique sound and style is a combination of earlier Jamaican forms, as well as Caribbean, North American and Latin forms, Neo-African styles, soul and rhythm and blues from North America. The music came to represent the sidelined groups and address issues of social injustice.
Hurling (爱尔兰曲棍球) and camogie
Hurling is one of the oldest field games in the world, with the first literary reference dating back to 1272 BCE. It is described as a combination of lacrosse, field hockey and baseball. Helmets and face masks are worn. Players use a hurley(wooden stick with a flat end)to throw a sliotar(ball)back and forth while attempting to make a goal. Camogie is the female version of the sport.
Catalonian castells
Castells, a practice of building human towers, represents a defining cultural tradition in Catalonia in Spain. Teams compete to construct the tallest and most complicated human towers. People of all ages can help support the base of these towers, but only those with the knowledge passed down through generations and the practice may climb and form the upper tower.
Egyptian hand puppetry(埃及手偶表演艺术)
Hand puppetry is popular throughout Egypt and involves a puppeteer hiding inside a movable stage while an assistant interacts with the audience. Al-Aragoz is the name of the main puppet, which has a unique voice that’s created with a voice modifier (变声器). Traditionally, the puppeteers were traveling performers. Now, they are found in more urban settings such as Cairo.
21. Which tradition once served as a voice for socially disadvantaged people?
A. Reggae music. B. Hurling and camogie.
C. Catalonian castells. D. Egyptian hand puppetry.
22. Who is allowed to climb the human towers in Catalonian castells?
A. Courageous people of all ages.
B. Anyone who supports the base.
C. Those who are physically strong.
D. People with professional training.
23. What change has occurred to Egyptian hand puppetry?
A. The puppeteer interacts with the audience.
B. More performances can be seen in cities.
C. The main puppet’s name has been changed.
D. The unique voice technique was abandoned.
The whistle blew, and the celebration erupted. Tears streamed down Kevin’s face as he watched his teammates lifted the state championship trophy (奖杯) — a moment he had dreamed of, yet experienced from the sideline, his right eye covered by a protective shield.
Months earlier, Kevin was a promising center, a key to his team’s title hopes. Then, during a practice, an accident severely injured his eye. The diagnosis was a huge blow: a detached retina (视网膜脱落). Surgery could save his sight, but his season was over. “It felt like my identity was ripped away,” he said later.
Consumed by frustration, he initially distanced himself. But a conversation with his coach changed his perspective. “You see the game in a way others don’t,” the coach said. “We still need that.” Thus, Kevin embarked on an unexpected path. While his body healed, his mind went to work. He became the team’s chief video analyst and game advisor, identifying opponents’ weaknesses and suggesting adjustments.
His new role reached its peak during the state finals. At halftime, his team was losing, their offense stuck. In the locker room, the coach turned to him. “What do you see, Kevin?” Relying on hours of film study, Kevin pointed out a flaw in the opponent’s full-court press. He diagrammed a simple but effective passing plan to break it. The coach listened and implemented the plan.
The second half was a surprise. The press was broken repeatedly, leading to easy baskets. The momentum (势头) shifted entirely. As the final buzzer sounded, Kevin was surrounded by his celebrating teammates. In the championship photo, he stands at the center, the trophy passed into his hands. He hadn’t scored a point, but he had helped engineer the victory.
Kevin’s story redefines what it means to win. It’s a testament that contribution isn’t confined to physical performance; leadership, intellect, and an unbreakable spirit are equally powerful weapons. True victory lies not in never falling, but in finding a new way to rise and lift others up with you.
24. What was the main change in Kevin’s role on the team after his injury?
A. From a leader to a supporter. B. From a starter to a bench player.
C. From a player to a strategy analyst. D. From a player to a team motivator.
25. What does the coach intend to convey by saying “You see the game in a way others don’t”?
A. Kevin was a keener observer than other players.
B. Kevin’s experience equipped him with unique game insight.
C. Kevin grasped the coach’s tactical intentions better than others.
D. Kevin’s injury made him more sensitive to the team’s problems.
26. How would you describe Kevin’s halftime advice during the finals?
A. A comforting guess that unexpectedly worked. B. A well-studied solution based on careful observation.
C. A simple idea that anyone could have thought of. D. A risky plan that replaced the coach’s strategy.
27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Never Give Up: A Story of Persistence.
B. United We Stand: The Power of Teamwork.
C. More Than Scoring: Winning in Different Ways.
D. Redefining the Game: An unexpected Path to Self-Growth.
Rice, a common food, can do more than just fill your stomach. Scientists at Healthgen Biotechnology, a Chinese company in Wuhan, Hubei province, are now genetically engineering rice plants to produce Human Serum Albumin (HSA, 人血清白蛋白), a crucial blood protein.
HSA is the smallest but the most common of all plasma proteins (血浆蛋白). Created by the liver, HSA helps maintain a balance of fluid between blood vessels (血管) and the tissues around them. A lack of plasma proteins may cause fluid to leak from blood vessels. HSA is vital in treating burns, severe bleeding and cancers. Normally, people get HSA from blood donors. However, its production has been limited by the availability of healthy donor blood. Previously, in China, over 60 percent of the annual demand for HSA had to be imported.
Healthgen’s technology could be a game changer. It puts human genes into rice plants. This process essentially turns rice plants into protein factories — as the plants grow, more and more HSA is made and kept in the seeds, which are then harvested for HSA extraction.
This method, known as molecular farming (分子农业), offers several benefits. It doesn’t rely on blood donations, so there is no risk of virus spread. It is also cost-effective, as increasing production only requires growing more rice. What’s more, dried rice seeds can be kept for three to five years without losing protein activity. The rice’s genetic stability provides consistent quality in each group of HSA.
Currently, Healthgen makes 1 million doses of its world’s first rice-made HSA drug annually, said Hubei Daily. The company is building another plant set to open in 2026, which will increase production to 130 tons a year and replace 25 percent of imported HSA.
28. What is the purpose of Healthgen’s project?
A. To increase rice yield for medical use. B. To develop a new type of blood plasma.
C. To create disease-resistant rice varieties. D. To make rice a new source of blood protein.
29. What can we learn about HSA from the text?
A. It helps regulate body fluid movement. B. It strengthens the walls of blood vessels.
C. It is made by the heart to aid circulation. D. It provides immediate relief for burn patients.
30. What problem does molecular farming help solve?
A. The safety risk of genetic modification B. The decline of rice production in China.
C. The shortage of blood-based HSA supply. D. The rising cost of importing medical drugs.
31. What can be inferred about Healthgen’s future development?
A. It plans to export its HSA products abroad. B. It will stop using imported medical proteins
C. It will grow other genetically modified crops. D. It will largely reduce reliance on imported HSA.
If you’ve ever thought it would be great to walk into a room and know whether a harmful airborne virus is hanging around, scientists have a device for you. Researchers have created a new machine, a little bigger than a bread maker, which can quickly detect the airborne viruses. Rajan Chakrabarty, a scientist at Washington University in St. Louis, worked with his team nonstop for three years to create the detector. One of the main challenges when they sample the airborne viruses is collecting enough air to concentrate viral particles (颗粒) at detectable levels. This detector pulls in 1,000 cubic meters of air each minute, compared to previous detectors which breathed in 2 to 8 cubic meters of air per minute.
“To trap the virus, we create an artificial cyclone (旋风) inside the sampler,” Chakrabarty says. “By moving liquid around at a high rate, viruses get trapped in the cyclone wall and concentrated for analysis. Any virus not captured in the liquid is filtered (过滤) out with a HEPA filter. After five minutes, the liquid is pumped to a biosensor. The biosensor consists of an electrode attached to a specialized immune system protein that fights infections much like antibodies but is smaller and tougher. The biosensor is based on a detector,”
To test the detector, the researchers sent the device to the apartments of two people with viral infections. “The device detected amounts of virus shed by the patients,” Chakrabarty says. Air collected from an empty conference room showed little sign of the virus. This indicates that the patients eliminated the virus and released it into the air through actions like breathing, talking, coughing, or sneezing, but only in very small amounts.
There are still some challenges. For instance, the device is as noisy as a cleaner or a ringing phone. That’s probably too loud for continuous use in a classroom or office, but could be tolerated for 10 minutes. Such detectors cost much money to build in a research lab. Commercial versions may be too expensive for home use but could be used in hospitals, airports, and other public areas to survey for the virus.
32. What does the data in the first paragraph show about the new machine?
A. The small size. B. The speedy virus detection.
C. The sampling time. D. The limited detectable level.
33. What does Chakrabarty mainly say about the new machine in paragraph 2?
A. Its working process. B. Its maximum volume.
C. Its logical ability to analyse viruses. D. Its special system to concentrate air.
34. What does the underlined word “shed” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Discovered. B. Indicated. C. Controlled. D. Removed.
35. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. A Machine: Trapping Viral Particles B. A Biosensor: Fighting Viral Infections
C. A Detector: Spotting Viruses in the Air D. A Device: Collecting the Airborne Viruses

Humor is a universal language, but each country or culture has its unique style. A great example of this is Australia.
In Australia, people enjoy making fun of each other as a way to joke around or lighten the mood. For example, “What happened to your hair? It looks like a bird’s nest.” In other cultures, saying this could be risky, as it might lead to a loss of face or dignity. ____36____ The closer you are to someone, the more honest you can be. After such a comment, your friend will likely laugh and appreciate your honesty — while fixing their “bird’s nest” hairstyle.
____37____ An Australian might say, “When I sing, it sounds like two cats fighting on the street.” Australians enjoy making fun of themselves, sharing embarrassing moments or making light of their own shortcomings. ____38____ Some believe this way of joking comes from Australia’s history, where prisoners did not agree with fixed social levels or class differences.
Sarcasm (冷面幽默) is also a popular form of humor in Australia. ____39____ “On our last shark-watching tour, we left with 20 passengers, but only five came back. I really have no idea what happened to the other 15.” Tourists unfamiliar with Australian humor might believe this was a serious statement, imagining the missing passengers were eaten by sharks! ____40____ In fact, it’s just another way Australians connect and share a laugh.
A. For instance, a tour guide might joke with a straight face,
B. This kind of humor often surprises visitors from other countries.
C. Self-deprecation (自嘲) is another key part of Australian humor.
D. Australians also enjoy telling stories about their wildlife adventures,
E. However, in Australia, such jokes indicate closeness and comfort between friends.
F. This shows they don’t take themselves too seriously, making them more approachable.
G. Therefore, it’s important to be careful when using humor in cross-cultural communication.

Now I remember when I was in middle school, I often screamed, “Oh, no! It’s Thursday again!” as I looked at the table calendar. What made Thursdays so terrible was our two-hour sports period. Physical activities never came easily to me. I was always the one picked last for teams, the one who needed extra breaks before the finish line, the one whose legs just couldn’t move as fast as everyone else’s.
That particular Thursday filled me with special fear because of the 100m race. My classmates all knew sports weren’t my strength. Every run left me completely exhausted and defeated, the walk back to class requiring all my remaining energy and determination just to keep moving. No matter how hard I tried, I always finished last-the sympathetic looks from teachers and quiet laughter from classmates cutting deeper than any physical exhaustion. Eventually, I started skipping school on sports days altogether, hoping the ground would swallow me whole rather than face another race.
That afternoon, anxiety had completely overwhelmed me. My mother, familiar with my suffering, gently lifted my chin until our eyes met. Tears spilled over as I admitted, “Mom! I can’t do the race. It’s not just the running-it’s the way they all watch me, like I’m some kind of failure. It hurts so much when everyone sees me struggle. Even the coaches look at me with disappointment. I just want to hide in the classroom — at least there I’m safe from feeling so... inadequate.”
My mother smiled with warm understanding. “Life won’t always fit our comfort,” she said softly. “But running away won’t make you stronger. It’s okay to be afraid, but don’t let fear decide who you are. If not everyone approves of you — or if you don’t approve of everyone — that’s all right. What matters is being able to meet your own eyes in the mirror.” Her words became my guide, and gradually, my perspective began to shift, allowing a quiet courage to take root in my heart.
