Terms on food packaging like “low fat,” “gluten-free,” “keto-friendly” and “a good source of fiber” don’t answer the fundamental question: Is this food good for me? There is little reliable guidance available for people who don’t have the time, patience or skill to analyze the nutrition labels (标签). But what we really need is a bold (大胆的) move that would be to prevent people from food that’s bad for them: a warning sign that a high-sugar soda or breakfast cereal product, for example, is an unhealthy choice. Chile, Mexico, Brazil and dozens of other countries have worked to change food labeling. Research has suggested that these labels can help people understand nutritional quality and change their purchasing habits. Finally, the goal of the labels is to improve nutrition and reduce the consumption of over-processed foods. After Chile adopted several rules in 2016, researchers found that the consumption of drinks high in sugar and sodium declined by nearly 25 percent. In Uruguay a survey published in 2020 assessing the early effects of nutritional warnings found that 58 percent of participants who noticed the warning changed their decisions about buying a product. Of those who changed their decisions, 17 percent said they chose a similar product with fewer warnings, and 18 percent decided not to buy a similar product at all. In the United States, new labeling laws will be much more challenging to take effect. As you might expect, food producers will surely try to stop warning labels from being required. They are arguing that these plans would be costly and that those costs would be passed on to consumers. But research conducted soon after Chile’s food labeling and advertising law passed showed no effects on total employment and negligible effects on wages (工资) and profit, even as consumer consumption of unhealthy foods declined. To be clear, this is just one of many steps toward providing all Americans with a healthy diet. But knowable front-of-package labeling is one of the best levers (杠杆) available to policymakers, and it is already working elsewhere. It can work here, too. 1．What does paragraph 1 focus on? A．The doubt about nutrition. B．The problem with labels. C．The doubt about package. D．The problem with food. 2．What do the examples of Chile and Uruguay show? A．Warning labels can effectively change people’s buying behavior. B．People in the two countries have better nutrition awareness. C．Food producers there work well with the government. D．The consumption of over-processed foods has been stopped. 3．What does the underlined word “negligible” mean in paragraph 5? A．Obvious. B．Lasting. C．Insignificant. D．Huge. 4．What’s the author’s attitude towards adopting warning labels in the United States? A．Unclear. B．Opposing. C．Doubtful. D．Supportive. Passage 2 (2024-2025学年江苏省连云港灌云县第一中学高二上学期期末考试英语试卷) While tortillas (玉米粉圆饼) come to mind when Mexico is mentioned, every January 6, Mexicans’ love of bread reaches the highest point with the cutting of oval brioche (奶油蛋卷) decorated with candied fruit known as king cakes to celebrate a special festival. Just hours before Mexicans took their first slices, hundreds of shoppers packed amid the overwhelming smell of fresh-baked bread inside the Ideal Bakery, one of Mexico City’s oldest bakeries, to buy their king cakes, known as “rosca de reyes”. Among the big crowd was Dalia Hernandez, a 34-year-old homemaker who was thrilled to go to the bakery. “I really like coming to the bakery. Last year, only my husband came, but this time we all came because it is part of a family tradition,” she said. “The tradition of the cakes has lived on and we are so crazy about them because they are part of our culture, our identity as Mexicans.” The king cakes have their origins in 14th-century France and Spain and got to Mexico Later. Even though the king cake is a seasonal treat eaten only during the early days of January, it’s something enjoyed by all levels of Mexican society, keeping demand high, said Oswaldo Tapia, chef for the company NTD Ingredients. Mexico has added its own touches, making it in an oval shape and often filling it with cream. Traditionally, Mexicans had decorated their king cakes with acitron, a candied element from a particular type of cactus (仙人掌). But the government prohibited that in 2005 due to the impact on the species. Other fruits are now substituted for it. The figurine (小雕像) of a baby is hidden inside the cakes. The person who finds the figurine in their slice is supposed to buy tamales (玉米粉蒸肉) for everyone present on February 2, another feast day. Inside the Ideal Bakery Wednesday, Ana Morales, a 54-year-old businesswoman, recalled running through the building’s patio as a child. Her family lived in an upper part of the building so she awoke each morning to the smell of baking bread. “This place is fascinating, beautiful,” Morales said. “Coming today for a real rosca de reyes is to live a beautiful festival. The truth is whoever doesn’t eat rosca de reyes doesn’t know Mexico. This is the taste of Mexico. It is a tradition and a privilege to be able to still enjoy bread.” 5．Why are Mexicans crazy about the king cakes according to Dalia Hernandez? A．Because they regard the king cakes as a cultural symbol of Mexico. B．Because they are easily influenced by family members. C．Because they believe the king cakes can help them fight against bad things. D．Because they consider the king cakes as the best food for a family get-together. 6．What can we learn about the king cakes from the passage? A．Poor Mexicans can barely afford them. B．They cannot be enjoyed all year around. C．They come in a variety of shapes in Mexico. D．They were introduced to Mexico in the early 14th century. 7．What was the problem with the king cakes decorated with acitron? A．They were not as delicious as expected. B．They were not attractive in appearance. C．Acitron could not be widely found in Mexico. D．The growth of a special plant was affected. 8．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A．To introduce a special Mexican food. B．To show the Mexican way to bake bread. C．To explore the origin of a popular Mexican food. D．To prove the popularity of a Mexican food worldwide. Passage 3 (2024-2025学年江苏省泰州市姜堰区高二上学期1月期末英语试题) Drinking three to four cups of coffee a day may reduce your risk of liver cancer and other alcohol-related liver diseases, according to a new study. Researchers looked at the coffee habits of more than 494,000 people in the UK Biobank, a biomedical database, and monitored their liver health over 11 years. Participants ranged from 40 to 69 years old, with 384,818 saying they were enthusiastic coffee drinkers, and 109,767 saying they were not. Coffee drinkers were 21% less likely to develop chronic (慢性的) liver disease, 20% less likely to develop chronic or fatty liver disease, and 49% less likely to die of chronic liver disease than non-coffee drinkers, according to the study published Monday in the peer-reviewed journal BMC Public Health. “It confirms in a large UK cohort (一群人) that coffee drinking is protective against severe liver disease,“ said Prof. Paul Roderick, a co-author of the study from the University of Southampton. People who drank ground caffeinated (含有啡非因的) or decaffeinated coffee saw the most benefits, while some reduction in risks was also found in instant coffee drinkers. The maximum benefit was found in people who drank three to four cups a day; any higher consumption didn’t show additional benefits, according to the study. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is most common in people who are overweight or have diabetes, high cholesterol or high triglycerides. The disease affects up to 25% of people in the United States, according to the American Liver Foundation. Liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, according to the World Cancer Research Fund. The rate of liver cancer since 1980 has more than doubled, aceording to the American Cancer Society. Vanessa Hebditch, of the British Liver Trust, said that the study results further prove the theory that coffee is good for liver health. “However, it’s important that people improve their liver health not just by drinking coffee,” she said, “but by also cutting down on alcohol and keeping to a healthy weight by exercising and eating well.” One of the major limitations to the study is that the participants were asked only about their coffee consumption at one point in time and then monitored for their health. For example, if someone changed their daily coffee intake from one to four cups of coffee a day over the 11-year period, researchers weren’t able to take that into account. “The study raises the issue that drinking coffee might be an effective intervention (干预) to prevent severe liver disease in those at high risk,” Rodercki said. 9．What did the study find about coffee drinkers? A．They could benefit more by drinking more coffee. B．They preferred caffeinated coffee to instant coffee. C．They may have a healthier liver than non-coffee drinkers. D．They had difficulty changing the way they drank coffee. 10．What does Vanessa Hebditch advise people to do? A．To avoid drinking coffee at night. B．To drink coffee after doing exercise. C．To reduce weight by drinking coffee. D．To improve liver health in many ways. 11．What is the main limitation of the study? A．It failed to monitor participants closely. B．It only focused on participants’ coffee consumption. C．It may affect the coffee consumption in the future. D．It may ignore the changes in participants’ coffee intake. 12．What is Rodercki’s attitude towards the study? A．Critical. B．Supportive. C．Doubtful. D．Concerned. 话题2人与社会—艺术（音乐/美术/诗歌） Passage 1 (2024-2025学年河北省张家口市高二上学期期末考试英语试题) Mention the 1970s and most people will have an opinion. It was mixed up with memories of strikes, power cuts and bombs in London. Go deeper and there were plenty of pubs, televisions limited to three channels, and cinema chains that often changed their programs twice weekly, or had late night screenings. Best of all, though, was live music. Every town had its established site for touring bands but London enjoyed a large number of smaller locations that hosted rock, folk or jazz acts several nights a week. Many of these were Irish owned or managed, and part of a tradition where providing live music was part and parcel (主要) of running a pub. In fact, there were an awful lot of bands and singers you could see on a regular basis within 25 miles of London. Even better, you can go to many of the smaller sites for free. The concentration of so much of this in such a small geographical area was a comparatively recent development and can be traced to the impact the 1973 oil price hike had on the record industry. Against the background of the strikes and power cuts that everyone experienced, would-be rock stars found that touring up and down the UK in a truck and breakfast suddenly became expensive. It was hardly surprising that bands concentrated on sites closer to home to lower travel and accommodation costs. There were other factors at work too. It’s worth remembering that the London of the 1970s was a city with a steadily decreasing population. There were many empty houses as well as local authority flats that were “hard to let”, and commercial space too, which meant plenty of recording and rehearsing (排练) studios. 1．Why is the first paragraph written? A．To introduce the topic of discussion. B．To reveal the setting of a story. C．To explain a phenomenon in question, D．To provide evidence for a point of view. 2．What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A．Each town had its own music band. B．Irish jazz music was the most popular. C．Music styles varied from area to area. D．Live music was performed in many pubs. 3．Why did many bands in the 1970s choose sites closer to their homes? A．To reduce travel and accommodation costs. B．To contribute to local entertainment industry. C．To take advantage of the cultural environment. D．To avoid being affected by strikes and power cuts. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．The History of Live Music B．Live Music and the 1973 Oil Hike C．London’s Live Music in the 1970s D．Pub Culture Giving Rise to Live Music Passage 2 (2024-2025学年江苏省无锡市某校高二上学期期末英语试题) I have always been passionate about art, but with children to feed and educate, pursuing it seemed impossible. At 83, I finally registered for art school. Born in 1933, I led a life marked by family struggles but also resilience (适应力). I studied mechanical engineering and later management, becoming an associate professor at business school, where I now hold emeritus (荣誉退休的) status. About ten years ago, after my wife fell ill with Alzheimer’s and required care, I turned to painting. Determined to take this new path seriously, I applied to an art programme in Barcelona, insisting on painting despite advice to study art history. Balancing my studies with work, it took me seven years to complete the four-year course, graduating last year at the age of 90. Returning to school was a challenge; everything had changed since my earlier education. Most of my classmates were in their 20s, but they welcomed me warmly, often seeking my advice due to my life experience. I encountered some resistance from a couple of teachers early on, but I kept going. The first two years focused on flowers, still lifes, and landscapes, before we explored abstraction, which I enjoy most. I believe that talent comes from hard work; sometimes I feel stuck, but I push through. My artistic influences include Spanish painters like Francisco de Zurbarán and Joaquín Sorolla, and while I appreciate beauty, I value goodness and truth even more. I create abstract landscapes from memory, expressing my emotions through colour. I paint primarily on weekends and during holidays. While I don’t plan to exhibit extensively, my work was displayed in a small village for six months, though it received little attention. After a lifetime in engineering and education, I may not fully identify as an artist, but I now have the recognition that supports my journey into art. 5．Why did the author decide to pursue art at 83? A．To find cures for Alzheimer’s. B．To change his career path. C．To pursue his passion for art. D．To support his big family. 6．How did the author’s classmates react to him? A．They enjoyed his company. B．They tended to ignore him. C．They inspired him to go on. D．They resisted his presence. 7．Which best describes the author’s art journey? A．Eventful. B．Romantic. C．Casual. D．Challenging. 8．What would be a suitable title for the text? A．The Struggle of Old Artists. B．From Engineering to Art. C．The Value of Art Education. D．A Lifetime of Art Pursuit. Passage 3 (2024-2025学年浙江省宁波市慈溪市高二上学期期末考试英语试题) Decades ago, my friend Caetlin received a peculiar assignment from the poet Robert L. Hass, who was then her undergraduate literature professor. He instructed each student to memorize three poems from The Norton Anthology of American Literature not for any urgent academic reason but to prepare them for their unavoidable future solitude, claiming that you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have. The act of memorizing a poem seemed curiously old-fashioned in an era when few of us encounter poetry at all. I mostly devoted myself to prose (散文). It was only in my 40s that I began to change my ways. It happened in a flight to Seattle. For hours, I read nothing else but a poem, sometimes going through, sometimes repeating over and over. At the end of my flight, I had all 40 lines in my head. Memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has. But as you keep trying, the lines finally come together again, and the scattered text transforms back into a treasure, often a more valuable one than it was before. In other words, poetry perpetuates itself by becoming a part of those who read it. It can do so only because it is so specific, so entirely different, that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are. Some of the poems I’ve memorized are already fading, and that’s fine. I know if I spend a little time with them, they’ll sing in me again. Others keep thumping (重击) in me like a new pulse. I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become. 9．What did professor Robert assign his students to do? A．Appreciate literature works. B．Write poems to avoid future solitude. C．Recite poems for potential loneliness. D．Memorize poems for academic reasons. 10．Why does the author say memorizing a poem begins as a crime? A．Repetition makes poems boring. B．It’s a way to kill time on the plane. C．The author preferred prose to poetry. D．People hardly encountered poetry then. 11．What does the underlined word perpetuates in paragraph 3 mean? A．Make something famous. B．Keep something alive. C．Make something beautiful. D．Keep something special. 12．How does the author understand memorizing poetry? A．It makes our life better. B．It leads to the pursuit of dream. C．It expands our life properly. D．It enriches our memory definitely. 话题3人与社会—大众媒体 Passage 1 (2024-2025学年江苏省徐州市鼓楼区徐州市第三中学高二上学期1月期末英语试题) Li Ziqi, a 33-year-old Sichuanese YouTuber, has fascinated millions with her videos showcasing traditional farming, cooking, and craftsmanship. Her channel, recognized by Guinness World Records as the most popular Chinese-language channel on YouTube, offers a glimpse into a peaceful and leisurely pastoral (田园的) life. Li’s videos often feature her performing tasks like harvesting soybeans, making tofu from scratch, and constructing furniture from bamboo. Her careful attention to detail and resourcefulness are impressive, as she creates everything from clothing to tools using traditional methods. However, her videos are more than just demonstrations of skills; they offer a soothing escape from the chaos of modern life.

Passage 2 (2024-2025学年河北省衡水市阜城实验中学高二上学期1月期末英语试题） The Chinese Calligraphy Conference (《中国书法大会》) is a cultural program. The program was first broadcast (播出) on CCTV-1at 20:00 on June 2. 2023, and ended on July 7. After appearing, the program quickly became very popular. The program aimed to search Chinese calligraphy culture and to show the history of Chinese characters and calligraphy. Through using modern technologies, the program expected to bring new life to this ancient art form. The program invited many famous calligraphers and artists to teach us the history and writing skills of Chinese calligraphy. What they also show us is how Chinese calligraphy has developed and changed today. We could see how beautiful calligraphy is and how profound Chinese culture is. For example, the program showed Preface to the Orchid Pavilion (《兰亭集序》) through performance, and then experts explained this calligraphy work from background to brushwork (笔法). It left a deep influence on viewers. There is no doubt that the show is a great success. The Chinese Calligraphy Conference is not only a fun program, but a way to learn about the culture of Chinese calligraphy. It makes more people understand and love the art of Chinese calligraphy. It also brings new life to Chinese calligraphy and makes it shine brightly. Chinese calligraphy is our most valuable treasure. For young people, we should take an active part in learning these excellent traditional cultures such as calligraphy, and then spread them to let more people know about China. Let’s take action right now! 5．When was this cultural program first broadcast? A．On June 2nd. B．On June 7th. C．On July 2nd. D．On July 7th. 6．The underlined word “profound” probably means “________” in the passage. A．bright B．deep C．modern D．special 7．We mainly get to know the ________ of the Chinese Calligraphy Conference from the Paragraph 4. A．popularity B．new form C．influence D．preparation 8．The passage is written to call on people to ________. A．practice calligraphy B．create new programs C．watch more CCTV programs D．spread traditional Chinese cultures Passage 3 (2024-2025学年浙江省青田县中学高二上学期1月期末英语试题) The rough guide to marketing success used to be that you got what you paid for. No longer. While traditional “paid” media — such as television commercials and print advertisements — still play a major role, companies today can exploit many alternative forms of media. Consumers passionate about a product may create “earned” media by willingly promoting it to friends, and a company may leverage “owned” media by sending e-mail alerts about products and sales to customers registered with its Web site. The way consumers now approach the process of making purchase decisions means that marketing’s impact stems from a broad range of factors beyond conventional paid media. Paid and owned media are controlled by marketers promoting their own products. For earned media, such marketers act as the initiator for users’ responses. But in some cases, one marketer’s owned media become another marketer’s paid media — for instance, when an e-commerce retailer sells ad space on its Web site. We define such sold media as owned media whose traffic is so strong that other organizations place their content or e-commerce engines within that environment. This trend, which we believe is still in its infancy, effectively began with retailers and travel providers such as airlines and hotels and will no doubt go further. Johnson & Johnson, for example, has created BabyCenter, a standalone media property that promotes complementary and even competitive products. Besides generating income, the presence of other marketers makes the site seem objective, gives companies opportunities to learn valuable information about the appeal of other companies’ marketing, and may help expand user traffic for all companies concerned. The same dramatic technological changes that have provided marketers with more (and more diverse) communications choices have also increased the risk that passionate consumers will voice their opinions in quicker, more visible, and much more damaging ways. Such hijacked media are the opposite of earned media: an asset or campaign becomes hostage to consumers, other stakeholders, or activists who make negative allegations about a brand or product. Members of social networks, for instance, are learning that they can hijack media to apply pressure on the businesses that originally created them. 9．When can consumers create “earned” media? A．Obsessed with online shopping at certain Web sites. B．Inspired by product-promoting e-mails sent to them. C．Eager to help their friends promote quality products. D．Enthusiastic about recommending their favorite products. 10．What can we say about sold media feature according to Paragraph 2? A．A safe business environment. B．Random competition. C．Strong user traffic. D．Flexibility in organization. 11．What can we infer about earned media in Paragraph 3? A．Invite constant conflicts with passionate consumers. B．Can be used to produce negative effects in marketing. C．May be responsible for fiercer competition. D．Deserve all the negative comments about them. 12．Which of the following is the text mainly about? A．Alternatives to conventional paid media. B．Conflict between hijacked and earned media. C．Dominance of hijacked media. D．Popularity of owned media. 话题4人与社会—体育文化 Passage 1 (2024-2025学年江苏省连云港市高二上学期期末调研考试英语试题) Want to boost your memory for tomorrow? Get in a workout today. At least that’s the takeaway from a new study finding that older adults who did more moderate-to-intense (中到高强度的) physical activity than usual on a given day did better in memory tests the day after. Researchers found that moving more throughout the day and getting at least six hours of sleep further enhanced mental performance. The study, published on Dec. 9 in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, builds on previous research showing exercise is good for brain health. “We know from laboratory-based studies that we get a cognitive (认知的) boost in the minutes to hours following a period of exercise,” lead study author Mikaela Bloomberg, a senior research fellow in University College London, told Health. “We wanted to see whether this benefit might last longer than a couple of hours outside of a laboratory.” To examine the link between exercise and memory, researchers selected 76 cognitively healthy adults from the United Kingdom aged 50 to 83. The participants wore trackers on their wrists for eight days to monitor physical activity and sleep. They also took memory-focused tests daily. Researchers found an association between an additional 30 minutes of moderate-to-intense physical activity and better short-term working memory and longer-term episodic memory, which is the ability to recall specific events the next day. Light exercise, such as taking the stairs or walking, did not affect memory the next day. Experts agreed that the findings aren’t surprising. “There is increasing evidence that regular physical activity can enhance cognitive abilities and potentially lower the risk of developing future dementia (痴呆),” Peter Gliebus, MD, director of cognitive and behavioral neurology (神经学) at Marcus Neuroscience Institute, Florida, told Health. “This research strengthens existing evidence that regular physical activity is essential for ideal brain function.” 1．What does the new study focus on? A．The mental health of older adults. B．The effect of exercise on memory. C．The problems of previous research. D．The link between sleep and memory. 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Process of the study. B．Subjects of the study. C．Limitations of the study. D．Application of the study. 3．What can we learn from the findings of the new study? A．Regular exercise can avoid future dementia. B．Light exercise improves short-term memory. C．Not all exercise leads to better memory the next day. D．Lacking sleep has no effect on memory the next day. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Sharpening your brain via light exercise. B．Exercising your way to a better memory. C．Boosting your memory with a good sleep. D．Preparing your mind for tomorrow’s tests. Passage 2 (2024-2025学年江苏省无锡市高二上学期期终教学质量调研测试英语卷) Shanghai’s 11-year-old sailor, Yang Jixin, has made a notable entry in the sailing records by completing the 2024 Rizhao-Qingdao Island Hopping Race, navigating (横渡) 66 nautical miles, around 77 miles in the ocean. Yang also set a new benchmark (基准) by being the youngest Chinese youth to complete such a long voyage. The race, which started on Aug. 10 from the Rizhao World Sailing Base and ended at the Beijing Olympic Sailing Training Base in Qingdao on Aug. 13, presented a series of challenges over its four- day sailing. Yang, the youngest national record-holder for kayaking (皮艇运动) across the Qiongzhou Strait, demonstrated her toughness and sailing acumen (敏锐) among the hot and wet weather, periods of calm, headwinds, and the complex interference (干扰) of waves. The organizers took careful steps to ensure the safety of sailors, carrying out measures such as maritime rescue, medical support, and navigation monitoring throughout the event. Upon her arrival at the Silver Sea Yacht Marina in Qingdao, Yang was welcomed by several figures from the sailing community, including Dai Zhiqiang, a former member of the Chinese Olympic Committee, Vice Chairman of the China Yachting Association, and Principal of the National Sailing School. Their presence recognized the significance of her success. Dai greeted Yang with a congratulatory smile and rang the bell in her honor, a traditional mark of a successful sailing journey. His actions reflected the encouragement and support for the up-and-coming generation of sailors that Yang represents. Yang’s achievement is more than a personal success. It’s an inspiration for young sailors and it highlights the potential for future developments in the sport of sailing. By setting a new record for the youngest Chinese youth in long-distance sailing, she has opened doors for others to follow and has shown that age is no barrier to ambition and skill. Her journey across the waves will undoubtedly encourage others to map their courses, and to rise to the challenges that lie beyond the known shores. 5．Which of the following can best describe Yang Jixin?

Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, known as the “Shatou” pair, faced the dark horse pair from North Korea, Lee Jeong-sik and Kim Geum-yeong. At the beginning of the game, the North Korean pair showed strong attacking power. Lee Jeong-sik’s forehand attack was sharp and tricky. Kim Geum-yeong’s backhand long pimples rubber style was unique, and the rhythm and spin of her returns posed challenges to the “Shatou” pair. But the “Shatou” pair remained calm. Wang Chuqin’s backhand flick was very powerful, and Sun Yingsha’s advantages in the first three strokes were obvious. The scores of both sides rose alternately, and the game was extremely close.

D．Worried. 话题5 人与自我—健康（医疗） Passage 1 (2024-2025学年山西省吕梁市高二上学期期末考试英语试题) A Chinese research team has published a groundbreaking study in Nature, creating the world’s most comprehensive map of blood vessel (血管) networks for various cancers. This significant advancement holds great promise for earlier cancer detection, improved drug development and personalized treatment strategies. Led by Yin Mingzhu, the vice-president of Chongqing University Three Gorges Hospital, this team is a collaborative effort that includes scientists from well-known institutions such as Tsinghua University and Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Their study sheds light on the complex process of angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels. This discovery paves the way for more effective anti-angiogenic treatments in clinical practice. Angiogenesis plays a crucial role in tumor (肿瘤) growth and survival. By disrupting this process, anti-angiogenic treatments aim to starve tumors, potentially stopping their growth or even making them smaller. Blood vessels act as a vital delivery system, supplying essential nutrients that enable tumor cells to multiply and spread. When angiogenesis is prevented, the tumor’s access to oxygen and nutrients is restricted, which can lead to cell death and a reduction in tumor size. “By identifying the unique characteristics of the tumor microenvironment and locating the key cells that supply energy to these tumors, we can establish a strong foundation for personalized treatment based on interrupting the nutrient supply,” Yin explained. The team analyzed single-cell RNA data from 31 human cancer types, uncovering distinct and common functions within the cells. Their findings highlight potential markers of disease progression, which could serve as powerful indicators for sustained benefits in future clinical settings. Building on these findings, the research team is actively promoting collaboration between academia, industry, and clinical settings. This collaborative effort aims to develop tools for early cancer detection and guide treatment selection for individual patients. Yin added, “One potential application is a diagnostic (诊断) test kit that identifies early signs of cancer or predicts a patient’s suitability for specific treatments.” This research is in line with Chongqing University’s vision of becoming a top medical school by integrating its engineering strengths with medical research. 1．Which can we infer about mapping blood vessel networks? A．It simplifies the study of angiogenesis in cancer. B．It betters cancer detection and treatment strategies. C．It plays a significant role in tumor growth in vessel. D．It requires competition among scientific institutions. 2．What is the underlying logic of anti-angiogenic treatments? A．To reduce nutrient supply in tumors. B．To enhance the delivery ability of blood. C．To block the formation of essential nutrients. D．To speed up the body’s response to tumor cells. 3．In which aspect will Yin apply their outcomes according to the last paragraph? A．Gene Editing B．Early cancer identification. C．Single-cell analysis. D．Funding for Medical Research. 4．What is the best title of the passage? A．Mapping Cancer to Pioneer a New Frontier B．The Impact of Nutrition on Tumor Growth C．Advances in Early Cancer Formation Strategies D．Understanding Vessel Networks for Cancers Passage 2 (2024-2025学年山东省德州市高二上学期期末考试英语试题) Towana Looney became the fifth American to receive a gene-edited pig organ last month and is recovering well. Looney’s transplant (移植) is the third time a kidney from a gene-edited pig has been transplanted into a living human, but previous transplants have been for people who were brain dead or at high risk of dying within months. Looney, who started dialysis (透析) treatment in2016 after developing kidney failure and was listed for kidney transplantation in early 2017, according to NYU Langone Health, where Looney received her transplant surgery, is the first otherwise healthy patient given a genetically edited pig kidney, raising hope that one day pig kidneys could help relieve the ongoing organ shortage. For various medical reasons, Looney could not find a human match, making her qualified for the still-experimental procedure. Looney said in a press conference Tuesday that she feels “blessed” to have received “a second chance at life. ” “I want to give courage to those on dialysis, ” she added. “It’s not easy, and it’s not the only option. There’s hope. ” The world’s first genetically edited pig kidney transplant into a living human was performed earlier this year, but the recipient died nearly 2 months later. The first combined mechanical heart pump and gene-edited pig kidney transplant surgery was performed at NYU Langone in April of this year, but the recipient later died in July. “I think the main difference. . . is that Towana is in much better shape physically. Her disease has not extended to the point where she was at high risk of dying very soon, ” Dr. Montgomery said. When asked about next steps, Montgomery said he’s sure there will be more patients like Looney through the FDA’s expanded access or compassionate use program and that there will be clinical trials starting “probably by this time next year, or even sooner. ” 5．What makes Towana Looney’s transplant special? A．It is the first gene-edited pig organ transplant. B．It is the third successful gene-edited pig organ transplant. C．It is the third gene-edited pig kidney transplant for a living person. D．It is the first gene-edited pig organ transplant for a patient with kidney cancer. 6．Why did Towana Looney choose a gene-edited pig kidney transplant? A．Because it was suggested by her doctor. B．Because she failed to find a human match. C．Because gene-edited pig kidneys are more effective. D．Because she wanted to be part of a medical experiment. 7．What is the main difference of Towana Looney’s condition according to Montgomery? A．Looney is in better physical condition. B．Looney’s recovery period is significantly shorter. C．Looney’s condition has worsened since the transplant. D．Looney’s disease shows no signs of improvement at all. 8．What is the next step according to Dr. Montgomery? A．To give more information on gene-edited pig organs. B．To improve the success rate of gene-edited pig organ transplants. C．To perform more clinical experiments about gene-edited pig organs. D．To communicate with more patients on gene-edited pig organ transplants. Passage 3 (2024-2025学年湖南省衡阳市高二上学期1月期末英语试题) It’s common knowledge that our brains — and, specifically, our brain cells — store memories. But a team of scientists has discovered that cells from other parts of the body also perform a memory function, opening new pathways for understanding how memory works and creating the potential to enhance learning and to treat memory-related diseases. The research sought to better understand if non- brain cells help with memory by borrowing from a long-established neurological property — the massed-spaced effect — which shows that we tend to memorize information better when studying in spaced intervals (间隔) rather than in a single, intensive period — better known as cramming (临时死记硬背) for a test. In the research, the scientists repeated learning over time by studying two types of non-brain human cells in a laboratory （one from nerve tissue and the other from kidney tissue）and exposing them to different patterns of chemical signals. In response, the non-brain cells turned on a “memory gene (基因)”. To track the memory and learning process, the scientists engineered these non-brain cells to make a protein, which indicated when the memory gene was on and when it was off. The results showed that these cells could determine when the chemical pulses (脉冲) were repeated rather than simply extended — just as nerve cells in our brain can record when we learn with breaks rather than cramming all the material in one sitting. Specifically, when the pulses were delivered in spaced-out intervals, they turned on the “memory gene” more strongly, and for a longer time, than when the same treatment was delivered all at once. “This reflects the massed-spaced effect in action,” says Kukushkin, a clinical associate professor of life science at NYU Liberal Studies. “It shows that the ability to learn from spaced repetition isn’t unique to brain cells, but, in fact, might be a basic property of all cells.” The researchers add that the findings not only offer new ways to study memory, but also point to potential health-related advantages. 9．What can we know from the first paragraph? A．Brain cells process most of the memories. B．Memory-related diseases can be easily treated now. C．Scientists have fully understood how memory works. D．Non-brain cells may have something to do with memory. 10．How did the scientists track memory in non-brain cells? A．By using a specific protein. B．By measuring the size of the cells. C．By comparing chemical reactions. D．By recording the learning effects. 11．What does Kukushkin imply about spaced repetition learning? A．It’s unconnected to non-brain cells. B．It’s strengthened by chemical pulses. C．It’s probably an essential characteristic of all cells. D．It’s usually better than cramming all the material at once. 12．In which field may the findings apply to? A．Genetic techniques. B．Medical treatment. C．Psychological research. D．Behaviour disorders. 话题6人与社会—科技发展 Passage 1 （2024-2025学年湖南省常德市沅澧共同体高二上学期期末考试英语试题） Mosquitoes (蚊子) are normally associated with spreading malaria rather than preventing it, but in a new study scientists have used the insects to administer (接种) a promising new vaccine (疫苗) that could offer much better protection against the disease than current options. It’s the second generation of this particular vaccine type, and the improvement shown in this study is significant: eight out of nine young adults given the new vaccine were protected against malaria, compared with one out of eight given the existing one. The new vaccine, developed by researchers from Leiden University and Radboud University in the Netherlands, uses a genetically weakened version of the Plasmodium Falciparum parasite (寄生虫) that causes malaria in humans. This version (GA2) doesn’t trigger malaria, but does prepare the body to guard against it. “These disabled parasites are administered through a mosquito bite and reach the human liver as usual,” says vaccinologist Meta Roestenberg, from Leiden University. “But because of the gene turned off, this parasite cannot complete its development in the liver, cannot enter the bloodstream, and thus cannot cause disease symptoms.” “Meanwhile, this infection (感染) does create a strong immune response in the liver, which can protect the person from a real malaria infection in the future.” Meta Roestenberg added. The GA2 vaccine triggered a bigger and more diverse set of immune cells, the study showed, which explains its much improved effectiveness. Observed side effects were relatively minor, the researchers report, and mostly involved redness and itchiness around the mosquito bites. All participants were put on a course of anti-malaria drugs after the study data had been collected. Progress continues to be made in tackling malaria, whether it’s cutting it off at the source or protecting the human body. However, we’re still seeing almost 250 million cases per year, and hundreds of thousands of deaths – and current vaccines only protect around 50-77 percent of the population, often for not much longer than a year. “In short, the test with our new disabled GA2 parasite performs very well,” says clinical microbiologist Matthew McCall, from Radboud University. “We now plan to test vaccination with similar GA2 parasites in real life.” 1．What do we know about the new vaccine according to this passage? A．It can protect against malaria thoroughly. B．It is more expensive than the existing one. C．It probably works better on young people. D．It is administered through a mosquito bite. 2．What does Meta Roestenberg illustrate in paragraph 4? A．How the new vaccine works. B．What the study focuses on. C．Why mosquitoes are critical. D．When the infection happens. 3．Why does the new vaccine have better effectiveness? A．It has minor side effects. B．It brings parasites to light. C．It can reach the human liver. D．It activated more immune cells. 4．What is Matthew McCall’s attitude toward the new vaccine? A．Optimistic. B．Pessimistic. C．Neutral. D．Doubtful. Passage 2 （2024-2025学年广东省深圳实验学校高中园高二上学期期末考试英语试题） Humanoid robots, powered by generative AI (gen AI), hold significant potential to enhance daily life, especially in breaking down longstanding barriers for people with disabilities. However, a considerable gap exists between this exciting promise and the reality of today’s technology. This gap is reflected in user experience. A 2023 study by the “AI for Accessibility” Institute revealed that 39% of users with disabilities feel annoyed by technology’s failure to understand them, compared to 28% of non-disabled users. Nearly half of the disabled users also reported that they must change their behaviors to use a device rather than adapting the device to fit their needs. This is true even while they acknowledge AI’s various potential benefits. The primary reason for this issue is a lack of consideration for diverse user needs during the development process. Many AI technologies are designed without direct participation from the communities they aim to serve. To correct this, the disability community’s slogan, “Nothing about us without us,” must become a guiding principle for developers. The solution, therefore, is to build inclusivity into the design process itself. This means that developers should gather information from the widest possible range of people to create AI with user-adaptable features, allowing customization for diverse needs. This approach treats accessibility as a core requirement from the start rather than an after-the-fact modification. In practice, this requires involving people with disabilities to share their experiences and insights when developing and testing new technologies. A project named Euphonia offers a clear example. It aims to improve speech recognition for users with speech difficulties. Given that the AI is trained on vast amounts of data from people with non-typical speech patterns, it can accurately interpret their commands. For instance, it has helped former football player Tim Shaw communicate effectively again. The system not only understands his directions but can also speak for him in a voice remarkably similar to his own. Ultimately, the goal is to shift our perspective. We should see these technologies not merely as tools but as extensions of the person. This means that what truly matters is closing the gap between designing for people with disabilities and designing with them. 5．What can we infer from the survey in Paragraph 2? A．Disabled people frequently avoid using gen AI. B．Non-disabled people have few gen AI problems. C．Gen AI seldom fails to meet the needs of disabled users. D．Gen AI is not user-friendly enough for disabled people. 6．The author quotes “nothing about us without us” to stress that ______. A．users’ feedback on technologies often gets ignored B．users’ participation matters in designing technologies C．users’ advice hinders the development of technologies D．users’ wishes reflect the improvement of technologies 7．What does the word underlined “modification” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Limitation. B．Creation. C．Adaptation. D．Communication. 8．The author takes the example of Euphonia to show ______. A．technology can independently interact with disabled people B．technology can enhance disabled people’s life quality C．technology can help people communicate effectively D．technology can achieve inclusivity for disabled people Passage 3 （2024-2025学年广东省深圳实验学校高中园高二上学期期末考试英语试题） Global sea levels continue to rise, posing a significant threat to coastal populations worldwide. Faced with two major threats: ongoing sea-level rise and predictions that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities could face annual flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects proposed the Floating City as a groundbreaking solution. This design allows urban areas to adapt to rising waters, directly addressing these growing disasters. The proposed city is a wonder of modern design. Structurally, each 25-acre unit houses up to 50,000 residents, with its buildings kept at a height of under 90 meters for stability. Using seawater-resistant materials, these structures are also designed to be flexible, much like bamboo, to resist waves. Energy-wise, the project plans to use a mix of renewable energy sources, getting power from wind, water, and the sun to power the city. A key innovation is its safety system: during extreme weather, platforms can automatically separate and regroup using a system inspired by how groups of fish avoid predators. The project also offers significant environmental advantages. A 2023 study by the Marine Future Institute suggests that, compared to building artificial islands, this floating method protects up to 68% more of the marine ecosystem. Furthermore, its closed-loop system is expected to reduce carbon emissions by over 90%compared to a land-based city of a similar size. However, despite these benefits, significant challenges remain. Financially, the initial construction cost is estimated to be 30% higher than traditional land-based developments. Technologically, the constant exposure to seawater damages materials, with research indicating that up to 15% of a platform’s surface could require repair annually. Moreover, comprehensive emergency plans for events such as tsunamis are still in development. “This isn’t about abandoning coasts,” notes designer Tim Fu, “but evolving with them.” While its long-term success is still debated, the design redefines urban strength under challenging situations. Unlike rigid sea walls that fight against nature, these dynamic structures are designed to harmonize with oceanic rhythms. “Cities must learn to dance with the waves,” Curci concludes. This philosophy could transform humanity’s relationship with rising seas, turning a threat into a sustainable opportunity. 9．What drove Luca Curci Architects to come up with a new design? A．Energy crisis. B．Potential disasters. C．Tourism expansion. D．Overcrowded cities. 10．Which of the following best describes Luca Curci’s design? A．Adaptable and innovative. B．Fictional and renewable. C．Eco-friendly and immovable. D．Wave-resistant and conventional. 11．A major limitation of the Floating City project is that ______. A．its carbon emissions are higher than land-based cities B．it negatively impacts marine life more than artificial islands C．its structures require regular repair due to seawater exposure D．its emergency planning for tsunamis is fully completed 12．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A．Ocean Protection: Life under Threat. B．Rising with the Tides: Floating Cities. C．Connecting to the Future: Eco Solutions. D．Coastal Design: Inspiration from Bamboo.

Terms on food packaging like “low fat,” “gluten-free,” “keto-friendly” and “a good source of fiber” don’t answer the fundamental question: Is this food good for me? There is little reliable guidance available for people who don’t have the time, patience or skill to analyze the nutrition labels (标签). But what we really need is a bold (大胆的) move that would be to prevent people from food that’s bad for them: a warning sign that a high-sugar soda or breakfast cereal product, for example, is an unhealthy choice. Chile, Mexico, Brazil and dozens of other countries have worked to change food labeling. Research has suggested that these labels can help people understand nutritional quality and change their purchasing habits. Finally, the goal of the labels is to improve nutrition and reduce the consumption of over-processed foods. After Chile adopted several rules in 2016, researchers found that the consumption of drinks high in sugar and sodium declined by nearly 25 percent. In Uruguay a survey published in 2020 assessing the early effects of nutritional warnings found that 58 percent of participants who noticed the warning changed their decisions about buying a product. Of those who changed their decisions, 17 percent said they chose a similar product with fewer warnings, and 18 percent decided not to buy a similar product at all. In the United States, new labeling laws will be much more challenging to take effect. As you might expect, food producers will surely try to stop warning labels from being required. They are arguing that these plans would be costly and that those costs would be passed on to consumers. But research conducted soon after Chile’s food labeling and advertising law passed showed no effects on total employment and negligible effects on wages (工资) and profit, even as consumer consumption of unhealthy foods declined. To be clear, this is just one of many steps toward providing all Americans with a healthy diet. But knowable front-of-package labeling is one of the best levers (杠杆) available to policymakers, and it is already working elsewhere. It can work here, too. 1．What does paragraph 1 focus on? A．The doubt about nutrition. B．The problem with labels. C．The doubt about package. D．The problem with food. 2．What do the examples of Chile and Uruguay show? A．Warning labels can effectively change people’s buying behavior. B．People in the two countries have better nutrition awareness. C．Food producers there work well with the government. D．The consumption of over-processed foods has been stopped. 3．What does the underlined word “negligible” mean in paragraph 5? A．Obvious. B．Lasting. C．Insignificant. D．Huge. 4．What’s the author’s attitude towards adopting warning labels in the United States? A．Unclear. B．Opposing. C．Doubtful. D．Supportive. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出消费者当下购买的食物多为垃圾食品，包装标签难以帮助他们判断食物好坏，智利等多国改变食品标签且取得成效，美国实施新标签法遇阻，但有研究表明其负面影响小，应该推行这种措施。 1．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Whether you shop for food in a traditional grocery store or a big-box store, most of your options are junk foods. Terms on food packaging like “low fat,” “gluten-free,” “keto-friendly” and “a good source of fiber” don’t answer the fundamental question: Is this food good for me? There is little reliable guidance available for people who don’t have the time, patience or skill to analyze the nutrition labels (标签). (无论你是在传统的杂货店还是大型商店购买食品，你选择的大部分都是垃圾食品。食品包装上的“低脂肪”、“无麸质”、“适合生酮饮食”和“富含纤维”等字眼并没有回答一个基本问题：这种食物对我有好处吗？对于那些没有时间、耐心或技能来分析营养标签的人来说，几乎没有可靠的指导。)”可知，本段指出食品标签不能有效帮助消费者判断食物是否有益这一问题，强调的是食品标签存在的问题。故选B项。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段“After Chile adopted several rules in 2016, researchers found that the consumption of drinks high in sugar and sodium declined by nearly 25 percent. In Uruguay a survey published in 2020 assessing the early effects of nutritional warnings found that 58 percent of participants who noticed the warning changed their decisions about buying a product. Of those who changed their decisions, 17 percent said they chose a similar product with fewer warnings, and 18 percent decided not to buy a similar product at all. (智利在2016年通过了几项规定后，研究人员发现，高糖和高钠饮料的消费量下降了近25%。在乌拉圭，2020年发布的一项评估营养警告早期影响的调查发现，58%注意到警告的参与者改变了购买产品的决定。在那些改变了决定的人中，17%的人说他们选择了警告更少的类似产品，18%的人决定根本不买类似的产品。)”可推知，这些具体的数据和例子表明，食品上的警告标签能够切实有效地影响人们在购物时的选择，从而改变他们的购买行为。故选A项。 3．词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“They are arguing that these plans would be costly and that those costs would be passed on to consumers. But research conducted soon after Chile’s food labeling and advertising law passed showed no effects on total employment (他们认为，这些计划成本高昂，而且这些成本将转嫁给消费者。但在智利食品标签和广告法通过后不久进行的研究显示，对总就业没有影响)”和下文“even as consumer consumption of unhealthy foods declined (尽管消费者对不健康食品的消费有所下降)”可知，这里有转折，虽然食品生产商反对警告标签，认为这成本高且成本会转嫁给消费者，但实际上影响不大，对工资和利润影响应该是“微不足道的，不值一提的”，画线词意思与insignificant“微不足道的，不显著的”接近。故选C项。4．推理判断题。作者在文中列举了其他国家实施食品警告标签取得的积极效果，并在最后一段中“But knowable front-of-package labeling is one of the best levers (杠杆) available to policymakers, and it is already working elsewhere. It can work here, too. (但是，包装正面可见的标签是政策制定者可用的最佳杠杆之一，而且它已经在其他地方发挥作用。这在这里也行得通。)”指出这一举措在美国应该也是可行的。由此可知，作者对在美国采用警告标签持支持态度。故选D项。 Passage 2 (2024-2025学年江苏省连云港灌云县第一中学高二上学期期末考试英语试卷) While tortillas (玉米粉圆饼) come to mind when Mexico is mentioned, every January 6, Mexicans’ love of bread reaches the highest point with the cutting of oval brioche (奶油蛋卷) decorated with candied fruit known as king cakes to celebrate a special festival. Just hours before Mexicans took their first slices, hundreds of shoppers packed amid the overwhelming smell of fresh-baked bread inside the Ideal Bakery, one of Mexico City’s oldest bakeries, to buy their king cakes, known as “rosca de reyes”. Among the big crowd was Dalia Hernandez, a 34-year-old homemaker who was thrilled to go to the bakery. “I really like coming to the bakery. Last year, only my husband came, but this time we all came because it is part of a family tradition,” she said. “The tradition of the cakes has lived on and we are so crazy about them because they are part of our culture, our identity as Mexicans.” The king cakes have their origins in 14th-century France and Spain and got to Mexico Later. Even though the king cake is a seasonal treat eaten only during the early days of January, it’s something enjoyed by all levels of Mexican society, keeping demand high, said Oswaldo Tapia, chef for the company NTD Ingredients. Mexico has added its own touches, making it in an oval shape and often filling it with cream. Traditionally, Mexicans had decorated their king cakes with acitron, a candied element from a particular type of cactus (仙人掌). But the government prohibited that in 2005 due to the impact on the species. Other fruits are now substituted for it. The figurine (小雕像) of a baby is hidden inside the cakes. The person who finds the figurine in their slice is supposed to buy tamales (玉米粉蒸肉) for everyone present on February 2, another feast day. Inside the Ideal Bakery Wednesday, Ana Morales, a 54-year-old businesswoman, recalled running through the building’s patio as a child. Her family lived in an upper part of the building so she awoke each morning to the smell of baking bread. “This place is fascinating, beautiful,” Morales said. “Coming today for a real rosca de reyes is to live a beautiful festival. The truth is whoever doesn’t eat rosca de reyes doesn’t know Mexico. This is the taste of Mexico. It is a tradition and a privilege to be able to still enjoy bread.” 5．Why are Mexicans crazy about the king cakes according to Dalia Hernandez? A．Because they regard the king cakes as a cultural symbol of Mexico. B．Because they are easily influenced by family members. C．Because they believe the king cakes can help them fight against bad things. D．Because they consider the king cakes as the best food for a family get-together. 6．What can we learn about the king cakes from the passage? A．Poor Mexicans can barely afford them. B．They cannot be enjoyed all year around. C．They come in a variety of shapes in Mexico. D．They were introduced to Mexico in the early 14th century. 7．What was the problem with the king cakes decorated with acitron? A．They were not as delicious as expected. B．They were not attractive in appearance. C．Acitron could not be widely found in Mexico. D．The growth of a special plant was affected. 8．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A．To introduce a special Mexican food. B．To show the Mexican way to bake bread. C．To explore the origin of a popular Mexican food. D．To prove the popularity of a Mexican food worldwide. 【答案】5．A 6．B 7．D 8．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是墨西哥人非常喜欢的一种传统食物——国王蛋糕。 5．推理判断题。根据第三段中 Dalia Hernandez 所说的“The tradition of the cakes has lived on and we are so crazy about them because they are part of our culture, our identity as Mexicans.(这种蛋糕的传统延续了下来，我们非常喜欢它们，因为它们是我们文化的一部分，是我们作为墨西哥人的身份。)”可知，Dalia Hernandez认为，这种蛋糕是墨西哥文化的一部分，是墨西哥人的身份象征，由此可知，墨西哥人非常喜爱国王蛋糕是因为他们把它看作是墨西哥文化的一部分, 即墨西哥的文化象征。故选A项。 6．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Even though the king cake is a seasonal treat eaten only during the early days of January, it’s something enjoyed by all levels of Mexican society, keeping demand high, said Oswaldo Tapia, chef for the company NTD Ingredients.(NTD Ingredients公司的主厨奥斯瓦尔多·塔皮亚(Oswaldo Tapia)说，尽管国王蛋糕是一种季节性食品，只在1月初吃，但墨西哥社会各阶层都喜欢它，因此需求很高。)”可知, 国王蛋糕是一种季节性的食品，由此可知，这种蛋糕并不是一年四季都可以享用到。故选B项。 7．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Traditionally, Mexicans had decorated their king cakes with acitron, a candied element from a particular type of cactus (仙人掌). But the government prohibited that in 2005 due to the impact on the species. Other fruits are now substituted for it.(传统上，墨西哥人用acitron装饰他们的国王蛋糕，acitron是一种特殊仙人掌的糖化元素。但由于对物种的影响，政府在2005年禁止了这一行为。现在用其他水果代替它。)”可知，acitron是用一种特殊的仙人掌制成的，墨西哥人经常使用acitron装饰他们的国王蛋糕，因此，这会对acitron这种特殊植物的生长产生影响。故选D项。 8．推理判断题。根据首段“While tortillas (玉米粉圆饼) come to mind when Mexico is mentioned, every January 6, Mexicans’ love of bread reaches the highest point with the cutting of oval brioche (奶油蛋卷) decorated with candied fruit known as king cakes to celebrate a special festival.(一提到墨西哥，人们就会想到玉米饼，而每年的1月6日，墨西哥人对面包的热爱达到了顶峰，他们会切下椭圆形的奶油蛋卷，上面装饰着被称为国王蛋糕的蜜饯，以庆祝一个特殊的节日。)”可知，墨西哥人在1月6日对面包的热爱达到了顶峰，这种蛋卷上装饰着被称为国王蛋糕的蜜饯，引出本文讲述的国王蛋糕，结合下文对国王蛋糕是墨西哥文化的象征、国王蛋糕的起源以及发展等的介绍可知，文章的目的是介绍墨西哥的传统食物——国王蛋糕。故选A项。 Passage 3 (2024-2025学年江苏省泰州市姜堰区高二上学期1月期末英语试题) Drinking three to four cups of coffee a day may reduce your risk of liver cancer and other alcohol-related liver diseases, according to a new study. Researchers looked at the coffee habits of more than 494,000 people in the UK Biobank, a biomedical database, and monitored their liver health over 11 years. Participants ranged from 40 to 69 years old, with 384,818 saying they were enthusiastic coffee drinkers, and 109,767 saying they were not. Coffee drinkers were 21% less likely to develop chronic (慢性的) liver disease, 20% less likely to develop chronic or fatty liver disease, and 49% less likely to die of chronic liver disease than non-coffee drinkers, according to the study published Monday in the peer-reviewed journal BMC Public Health. “It confirms in a large UK cohort (一群人) that coffee drinking is protective against severe liver disease,“ said Prof. Paul Roderick, a co-author of the study from the University of Southampton. People who drank ground caffeinated (含有啡非因的) or decaffeinated coffee saw the most benefits, while some reduction in risks was also found in instant coffee drinkers. The maximum benefit was found in people who drank three to four cups a day; any higher consumption didn’t show additional benefits, according to the study. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is most common in people who are overweight or have diabetes, high cholesterol or high triglycerides. The disease affects up to 25% of people in the United States, according to the American Liver Foundation. Liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, according to the World Cancer Research Fund. The rate of liver cancer since 1980 has more than doubled, aceording to the American Cancer Society. Vanessa Hebditch, of the British Liver Trust, said that the study results further prove the theory that coffee is good for liver health. “However, it’s important that people improve their liver health not just by drinking coffee,” she said, “but by also cutting down on alcohol and keeping to a healthy weight by exercising and eating well.” One of the major limitations to the study is that the participants were asked only about their coffee consumption at one point in time and then monitored for their health. For example, if someone changed their daily coffee intake from one to four cups of coffee a day over the 11-year period, researchers weren’t able to take that into account. “The study raises the issue that drinking coffee might be an effective intervention (干预) to prevent severe liver disease in those at high risk,” Rodercki said. 9．What did the study find about coffee drinkers? A．They could benefit more by drinking more coffee. B．They preferred caffeinated coffee to instant coffee. C．They may have a healthier liver than non-coffee drinkers. D．They had difficulty changing the way they drank coffee. 10．What does Vanessa Hebditch advise people to do? A．To avoid drinking coffee at night. B．To drink coffee after doing exercise. C．To reduce weight by drinking coffee. D．To improve liver health in many ways. 11．What is the main limitation of the study? A．It failed to monitor participants closely. B．It only focused on participants’ coffee consumption. C．It may affect the coffee consumption in the future. D．It may ignore the changes in participants’ coffee intake. 12．What is Rodercki’s attitude towards the study? A．Critical. B．Supportive. C．Doubtful. D．Concerned. 【答案】9．C 10．D 11．D 12．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明，每天喝三到四杯咖啡可以降低患肝癌和其他与酒精有关的肝脏疾病的风险。文章介绍了研究开展的过程、研究发现以及人们对此研究的看法。 9．细节理解题。根据第三段“Coffee drinkers were 21% less likely to develop chronic (慢性的) liver disease, 20% less likely to develop chronic or fatty liver disease, and 49% less likely to die of chronic liver disease than non-coffee drinkers, according to the study published Monday in the peer-reviewed journal BMC Public Health.(周一发表在同行评议期刊《BMC公共卫生》上的这项研究显示，与不喝咖啡的人相比，喝咖啡的人患慢性肝病的可能性低21%，患慢性或脂肪肝的可能性低20%，死于慢性肝病的可能性低49%)”可知，喝咖啡的人的肝脏可能比不喝咖啡的人更健康。故选C。 10．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Vanessa Hebditch, of the British Liver Trust, said that the study results further prove the theory that coffee is good for liver health. “However, it’s important that people improve their liver health not just by drinking coffee,” she said, “but by also cutting down on alcohol and keeping to a healthy weight by exercising and eating well.”(英国肝脏基金会的Vanessa Hebditch说，研究结果进一步证明了咖啡对肝脏健康有益的理论。“然而，重要的是，人们不仅要通过喝咖啡来改善肝脏健康，”她说，“还要减少饮酒，通过锻炼和饮食来保持健康的体重。”)”可知，Vanessa Hebditch建议人们以多种方式改善肝脏健康。故选D。 11．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“One of the major limitations to the study is that the participants were asked only about their coffee consumption at one point in time and then monitored for their health. For example, if someone changed their daily coffee intake from one to four cups of coffee a day over the 11-year period, researchers weren’t able to take that into account.(该研究的主要局限性之一是，参与者只被问及他们在某个时间点的咖啡摄入量，然后监测他们的健康状况。例如，如果有人在11年的时间里将每天的咖啡摄入量从1杯改变为4杯，研究人员就无法考虑到这一点)”可知，本研究的主要局限性是可能忽略了参与者咖啡摄入量的变化。故选D。 12．推理判断题。根据最后一段““The study raises the issue that drinking coffee might be an effective intervention (干预) to prevent severe liver disease in those at high risk,” Rodercki said.( Rodercki说：“这项研究提出了一个问题，那就是喝咖啡可能是一种有效的干预措施，可以预防高危人群患上严重的肝脏疾病。”)”可推知，Rodercki对研究的态度是支持的。故选B。 话题2人与社会—艺术（音乐/美术/诗歌） Passage 1 (2024-2025学年河北省张家口市高二上学期期末考试英语试题) Mention the 1970s and most people will have an opinion. It was mixed up with memories of strikes, power cuts and bombs in London. Go deeper and there were plenty of pubs, televisions limited to three channels, and cinema chains that often changed their programs twice weekly, or had late night screenings. Best of all, though, was live music. Every town had its established site for touring bands but London enjoyed a large number of smaller locations that hosted rock, folk or jazz acts several nights a week. Many of these were Irish owned or managed, and part of a tradition where providing live music was part and parcel (主要) of running a pub. In fact, there were an awful lot of bands and singers you could see on a regular basis within 25 miles of London. Even better, you can go to many of the smaller sites for free. The concentration of so much of this in such a small geographical area was a comparatively recent development and can be traced to the impact the 1973 oil price hike had on the record industry. Against the background of the strikes and power cuts that everyone experienced, would-be rock stars found that touring up and down the UK in a truck and breakfast suddenly became expensive. It was hardly surprising that bands concentrated on sites closer to home to lower travel and accommodation costs. There were other factors at work too. It’s worth remembering that the London of the 1970s was a city with a steadily decreasing population. There were many empty houses as well as local authority flats that were “hard to let”, and commercial space too, which meant plenty of recording and rehearsing (排练) studios. 1．Why is the first paragraph written? A．To introduce the topic of discussion. B．To reveal the setting of a story. C．To explain a phenomenon in question, D．To provide evidence for a point of view. 2．What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A．Each town had its own music band. B．Irish jazz music was the most popular. C．Music styles varied from area to area. D．Live music was performed in many pubs. 3．Why did many bands in the 1970s choose sites closer to their homes? A．To reduce travel and accommodation costs. B．To contribute to local entertainment industry. C．To take advantage of the cultural environment. D．To avoid being affected by strikes and power cuts. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．The History of Live Music B．Live Music and the 1973 Oil Hike C．London’s Live Music in the 1970s D．Pub Culture Giving Rise to Live Music 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了20世纪70年代伦敦现场音乐演出盛行的现象，并分析了该现象背后的原因。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Mention the 1970s and most people will have an opinion. It was mixed up with memories of strikes, power cuts and bombs in London. Go deeper and there were plenty of pubs, televisions limited to three channels, and cinema chains that often changed their programs twice weekly, or had late night screenings. Best of all, though, was live music. (提到20世纪70年代，大多数人都会有自己的看法。它混杂着对伦敦罢工、停电和炸弹袭击的记忆。再往深处走，你会发现那里有很多酒吧，只有三个频道的电视，以及经常每周换两次节目或深夜放映的连锁电影院。不过最棒的是现场音乐表演)”可知，本段先描述人们对20世纪70年代的各种印象，然后引出当时最好的是现场音乐这一话题，为后文围绕70年代伦敦现场音乐展开讨论做铺垫。由此可知，本段是为了引出讨论的话题。故选A项。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Every town had its established site for touring bands but London enjoyed a large number of smaller locations that hosted rock, folk or jazz acts several nights a week. Many of these were Irish owned or managed, and part of a tradition where providing live music was part and parcel (主要) of running a pub. (每个城镇都有固定的乐队巡演场地，但伦敦有很多小场地，每周有几个晚上会举办摇滚、民谣或爵士表演。其中许多都是爱尔兰人拥有或管理的，这是传统的一部分，提供现场音乐是经营酒吧的重要组成部分)”可知，每周在伦敦的很多小场地都有各种现场音乐表演，酒吧提供现场音乐是一项重要传统。由此可知，很多酒吧都有现场音乐表演。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“It was hardly surprising that bands concentrated on sites closer to home to lower travel and accommodation costs. (不足为奇的是，乐队集中在离家更近的地方来降低出行和住宿费用)”可知，当时乐队选择离家近的演出场地是为了降低出行和住宿费用。故选A项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Mention the 1970s and most people will have an opinion. (提到20世纪70年代，大多数人都会有自己的看法)”和“Best of all, though, was live music. (不过最棒的是现场音乐表演)”可知，文章主要围绕20世纪70年代伦敦的现场音乐展开，讲述了当时伦敦现场音乐演出盛行，并分析了该现象背后的原因。因此，C项“20世纪70年代的伦敦现场音乐”最能概括文章主要内容，作为标题最合适。故选C项。 Passage 2 (2024-2025学年江苏省无锡市某校高二上学期期末英语试题) I have always been passionate about art, but with children to feed and educate, pursuing it seemed impossible. At 83, I finally registered for art school. Born in 1933, I led a life marked by family struggles but also resilience (适应力). I studied mechanical engineering and later management, becoming an associate professor at business school, where I now hold emeritus (荣誉退休的) status. About ten years ago, after my wife fell ill with Alzheimer’s and required care, I turned to painting. Determined to take this new path seriously, I applied to an art programme in Barcelona, insisting on painting despite advice to study art history. Balancing my studies with work, it took me seven years to complete the four-year course, graduating last year at the age of 90. Returning to school was a challenge; everything had changed since my earlier education. Most of my classmates were in their 20s, but they welcomed me warmly, often seeking my advice due to my life experience. I encountered some resistance from a couple of teachers early on, but I kept going. The first two years focused on flowers, still lifes, and landscapes, before we explored abstraction, which I enjoy most. I believe that talent comes from hard work; sometimes I feel stuck, but I push through. My artistic influences include Spanish painters like Francisco de Zurbarán and Joaquín Sorolla, and while I appreciate beauty, I value goodness and truth even more. I create abstract landscapes from memory, expressing my emotions through colour. I paint primarily on weekends and during holidays. While I don’t plan to exhibit extensively, my work was displayed in a small village for six months, though it received little attention. After a lifetime in engineering and education, I may not fully identify as an artist, but I now have the recognition that supports my journey into art. 5．Why did the author decide to pursue art at 83? A．To find cures for Alzheimer’s. B．To change his career path. C．To pursue his passion for art. D．To support his big family. 6．How did the author’s classmates react to him? A．They enjoyed his company. B．They tended to ignore him. C．They inspired him to go on. D．They resisted his presence. 7．Which best describes the author’s art journey? A．Eventful. B．Romantic. C．Casual. D．Challenging. 8．What would be a suitable title for the text? A．The Struggle of Old Artists. B．From Engineering to Art. C．The Value of Art Education. D．A Lifetime of Art Pursuit. 【答案】5．C 6．A 7．D 8．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在83岁高龄追求自己喜欢的艺术的经历。 5．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I have always been passionate about art, but with children to feed and educate, pursuing it seemed impossible. At 83, I finally registered for art school.(我一直对艺术充满热情，但有孩子要养活和教育，追求艺术似乎是不可能的。83岁时，我终于报名了艺术学校。)”可知，作者对艺术充满热情，所以在83岁时报名了艺术学校，想要追求自己的艺术热情。故选C。 6．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Most of my classmates were in their 20s, but they welcomed me warmly, often seeking my advice due to my life experience.(我的大多数同学都是20多岁，但他们热情地欢迎我，经常因为我的生活经历而寻求我的建议。)”可知，作者的同学欢迎作者，还寻求作者的建议，由此推测出，他们喜欢作者的陪伴。故选A。 7．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Balancing my studies with work, it took me seven years to complete the four-year course, graduating last year at the age of 90.(平衡我的学习和工作，我花了七年时间完成了四年的课程，去年90岁毕业。)”、第三段中的“Returning to school was a challenge; everything had changed since my earlier education.(重返校园是一个挑战；自从我早期接受教育以来，一切都变了。)”和“I encountered some resistance from a couple of teachers early on, but I kept going.(我早些时候遇到了几位老师的阻力，但我还是坚持了下来。)”、第四段中的“I believe that talent comes from hard work; sometimes I feel stuck, but I push through.(我相信才华来自努力工作；有时候我觉得被困住了，但我坚持了下来。)”可知，作者由于要平衡学习和工作，花了七年时间才学完四年的课程，在学校的时候作者遇到了一些挑战，但作者都坚持下来了，由此可推出，作者的艺术学习之旅充满了挑战。故选D。 8．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“At 83, I finally registered for art school.(83岁时，我终于注册了艺术学校。)”和“I studied mechanical engineering and later management, becoming an associate professor at business school, where I now hold emeritus (荣誉退休的) status.(我学习了机械工程，后来学习了管理，成为商学院的副教授，现在我在那里享有荣誉退休的地位。)”以及最后一段“After a lifetime in engineering and education, I may not fully identify as an artist, but I now have the recognition that supports my journey into art.(在工程和教育领域度过一生后，我可能不会完全认同自己是一名艺术家，但我现在得到了支持我艺术之旅的认可。)”可知，全文核心是作者从机械工程领域（mechanical engineering）转向艺术学习（journey into art）的历程。B项（从工程到艺术）适合作本文标题。故选B。 Passage 3 (2024-2025学年浙江省宁波市慈溪市高二上学期期末考试英语试题) Decades ago, my friend Caetlin received a peculiar assignment from the poet Robert L. Hass, who was then her undergraduate literature professor. He instructed each student to memorize three poems from The Norton Anthology of American Literature not for any urgent academic reason but to prepare them for their unavoidable future solitude, claiming that you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have. The act of memorizing a poem seemed curiously old-fashioned in an era when few of us encounter poetry at all. I mostly devoted myself to prose (散文). It was only in my 40s that I began to change my ways. It happened in a flight to Seattle. For hours, I read nothing else but a poem, sometimes going through, sometimes repeating over and over. At the end of my flight, I had all 40 lines in my head. Memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has. But as you keep trying, the lines finally come together again, and the scattered text transforms back into a treasure, often a more valuable one than it was before. In other words, poetry perpetuates itself by becoming a part of those who read it. It can do so only because it is so specific, so entirely different, that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are. Some of the poems I’ve memorized are already fading, and that’s fine. I know if I spend a little time with them, they’ll sing in me again. Others keep thumping (重击) in me like a new pulse. I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become. 9．What did professor Robert assign his students to do? A．Appreciate literature works. B．Write poems to avoid future solitude. C．Recite poems for potential loneliness. D．Memorize poems for academic reasons. 10．Why does the author say memorizing a poem begins as a crime? A．Repetition makes poems boring. B．It’s a way to kill time on the plane. C．The author preferred prose to poetry. D．People hardly encountered poetry then. 11．What does the underlined word perpetuates in paragraph 3 mean? A．Make something famous. B．Keep something alive. C．Make something beautiful. D．Keep something special. 12．How does the author understand memorizing poetry? A．It makes our life better. B．It leads to the pursuit of dream. C．It expands our life properly. D．It enriches our memory definitely. 【答案】9．C 10．A 11．B 12．C 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了教授让学生为未来可能的孤独背诵诗歌，作者分享自己背诗的经历，探讨了背诵诗歌的意义。 9．细节理解题。根据第一段中“He instructed each student to memorize three poems from The Norton Anthology of American Literature not for any urgent academic reason but to prepare them for their unavoidable future solitude, claiming that you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have.(他指示每个学生从《诺顿美国文学选集》中背诵三首诗，不是出于任何紧迫的学术原因，而是为他们不可避免的未来孤独做准备，他声称你会孤独，而诗歌将是你仅有的东西)”可知，罗伯特教授让学生为潜在的孤独背诵诗歌。故选C项。 10．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has.(背诵一首伟大的诗总是始于一种“罪过”。重复带来的无聊感削弱了它原本的巨大魅力)”可知，作者说背诵诗歌始于一种“罪过”是因为重复让诗歌变得无聊。故选A项。 11．词句猜测题。“In other words”意为“换句话说”，说明划线词所在句“In other words, poetry perpetuates itself by becoming a part of those who read it.(换句话说，诗歌通过成为读者的一部分而perpetuates自身)”是对前文意思的再解读。前文“Memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has. But as you keep trying, the lines finally come together again, and the scattered text transforms back into a treasure, often a more valuable one than it was before.(背诵一首伟大的诗总是一开始就犯了罪。重复的无聊降低了它的巨大魅力。但在你不断努力的过程中，诗句最终会重新组合在一起，分散的文字又重新变成了一件珍宝，而且往往比以前更有价值)”告诉我们，在不断重复的过程中，无聊的诗歌会重新变成了一件珍宝，比以前更有价值，换句话说，说明诗歌通过被背诵而成为读者的一部分，进而价值得以延续。由此推知，划线词perpetuates是指“使……延续、使……存活”，与“Keep something alive.”同义。故选B项。12．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become.(我不会向你保证背诵诗歌会让你的生活更美好，但它会让你更丰富：更能接触语言、接触他人的思想，也许还能接触到你未来可能成为的样子)”可推知，作者认为背诵诗歌能让生活更丰富，能适当地拓展我们的生活。故选C项。 话题3人与社会—大众媒体 Passage 1 (2024-2025学年江苏省徐州市鼓楼区徐州市第三中学高二上学期1月期末英语试题) Li Ziqi, a 33-year-old Sichuanese YouTuber, has fascinated millions with her videos showcasing traditional farming, cooking, and craftsmanship.

Li’s videos often feature her performing tasks like harvesting soybeans, making tofu from scratch, and constructing furniture from bamboo.

(她的频道被吉尼斯世界纪录认定为YouTube上最受欢迎的中文频道，让人们得以一窥她平静悠闲的田园生活。)”和第二段中“However, her videos are more than just demonstrations of skills; they offer a soothing escape from the chaos of modern life. (然而，她的视频不仅仅是技能的展示；它们为逃离现代生活的混乱提供了一种舒缓的方式。)”可知，李子柒的视频充满了宁静的画面，为观众提供了一种从现代生活的混乱中解脱出来的舒缓方式，因此最能描述李子柒视频中氛围的是“Peaceful and comforting (平静而舒适)”。故选C。 2．细节理解题。由文章第四段中“Despite her popularity, Li remains a mysterious figure. She rarely grants interviews and reveals little about her personal life. (尽管她很受欢迎，但李仍然是一个神秘的人物。她很少接受采访，也很少透露自己的个人生活。)”可知，李子柒重视隐私，几乎不透露她的个人生活。故选B。 3．细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“Li’s decision to share her rural life online was initially driven by the desire to promote her online store. (李决定在网上分享她的乡村生活，最初是为了推广她的网店。)”可知，李子柒开始在网上分享她的视频的初衷是为了宣传她自己的网店。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Li Ziqi, a 33-year-old Sichuanese YouTuber, has fascinated millions with her videos showcasing traditional farming, cooking, and craftsmanship.

For example, the program showed Preface to the Orchid Pavilion (《兰亭集序》) through performance, and then experts explained this calligraphy work from background to brushwork (笔法). It left a deep influence on viewers. There is no doubt that the show is a great success. The Chinese Calligraphy Conference is not only a fun program, but a way to learn about the culture of Chinese calligraphy. It makes more people understand and love the art of Chinese calligraphy. It also brings new life to Chinese calligraphy and makes it shine brightly. Chinese calligraphy is our most valuable treasure.

No longer. While traditional “paid” media — such as television commercials and print advertisements — still play a major role, companies today can exploit many alternative forms of media. Consumers passionate about a product may create “earned” media by willingly promoting it to friends, and a company may leverage “owned” media by sending e-mail alerts about products and sales to customers registered with its Web site. The way consumers now approach the process of making purchase decisions means that marketing’s impact stems from a broad range of factors beyond conventional paid media. Paid and owned media are controlled by marketers promoting their own products. For earned media, such marketers act as the initiator for users’ responses. But in some cases, one marketer’s owned media become another marketer’s paid media — for instance, when an e-commerce retailer sells ad space on its Web site. We define such sold media as owned media whose traffic is so strong that other organizations place their content or e-commerce engines within that environment. This trend, which we believe is still in its infancy, effectively began with retailers and travel providers such as airlines and hotels and will no doubt go further. Johnson & Johnson, for example, has created BabyCenter, a standalone media property that promotes complementary and even competitive products. Besides generating income, the presence of other marketers makes the site seem objective, gives companies opportunities to learn valuable information about the appeal of other companies’ marketing, and may help expand user traffic for all companies concerned. The same dramatic technological changes that have provided marketers with more (and more diverse) communications choices have also increased the risk that passionate consumers will voice their opinions in quicker, more visible, and much more damaging ways. Such hijacked media are the opposite of earned media: an asset or campaign becomes hostage to consumers, other stakeholders, or activists who make negative allegations about a brand or product. Members of social networks, for instance, are learning that they can hijack media to apply pressure on the businesses that originally created them. 9．When can consumers create “earned” media? A．Obsessed with online shopping at certain Web sites. B．Inspired by product-promoting e-mails sent to them. C．Eager to help their friends promote quality products. D．Enthusiastic about recommending their favorite products. 10．What can we say about sold media feature according to Paragraph 2? A．A safe business environment. B．Random competition. C．Strong user traffic. D．Flexibility in organization. 11．What can we infer about earned media in Paragraph 3? A．Invite constant conflicts with passionate consumers. B．Can be used to produce negative effects in marketing. C．May be responsible for fiercer competition. D．Deserve all the negative comments about them. 12．Which of the following is the text mainly about? A．Alternatives to conventional paid media. B．Conflict between hijacked and earned media. C．Dominance of hijacked media.

Get in a workout today. At least that’s the takeaway from a new study finding that older adults who did more moderate-to-intense (中到高强度的) physical activity than usual on a given day did better in memory tests the day after. Researchers found that moving more throughout the day and getting at least six hours of sleep further enhanced mental performance. The study, published on Dec. 9 in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, builds on previous research showing exercise is good for brain health. “We know from laboratory-based studies that we get a cognitive (认知的) boost in the minutes to hours following a period of exercise,” lead study author Mikaela Bloomberg, a senior research fellow in University College London, told Health. “We wanted to see whether this benefit might last longer than a couple of hours outside of a laboratory.” To examine the link between exercise and memory, researchers selected 76 cognitively healthy adults from the United Kingdom aged 50 to 83. The participants wore trackers on their wrists for eight days to monitor physical activity and sleep. They also took memory-focused tests daily. Researchers found an association between an additional 30 minutes of moderate-to-intense physical activity and better short-term working memory and longer-term episodic memory, which is the ability to recall specific events the next day. Light exercise, such as taking the stairs or walking, did not affect memory the next day. Experts agreed that the findings aren’t surprising. “There is increasing evidence that regular physical activity can enhance cognitive abilities and potentially lower the risk of developing future dementia (痴呆),” Peter Gliebus, MD, director of cognitive and behavioral neurology (神经学) at Marcus Neuroscience Institute, Florida, told Health. “This research strengthens existing evidence that regular physical activity is essential for ideal brain function.” 1．What does the new study focus on? A．The mental health of older adults. B．The effect of exercise on memory. C．The problems of previous research. D．The link between sleep and memory. 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Process of the study. B．Subjects of the study. C．Limitations of the study. D．Application of the study. 3．What can we learn from the findings of the new study? A．Regular exercise can avoid future dementia. B．Light exercise improves short-term memory. C．Not all exercise leads to better memory the next day. D．Lacking sleep has no effect on memory the next day. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Sharpening your brain via light exercise. B．Exercising your way to a better memory. C．Boosting your memory with a good sleep. D．Preparing your mind for tomorrow’s tests. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现高强度体力活动可以提高第二天的记忆力，介绍了研究开展的经过以及发现。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“At least that’s the takeaway from a new study finding that older adults who did more moderate-to-intense (中到高强度的) physical activity than usual on a given day did better in memory tests the day after.

This significant advancement holds great promise for earlier cancer detection, improved drug development and personalized treatment strategies. Led by Yin Mingzhu, the vice-president of Chongqing University Three Gorges Hospital, this team is a collaborative effort that includes scientists from well-known institutions such as Tsinghua University and Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Their study sheds light on the complex process of angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels. This discovery paves the way for more effective anti-angiogenic treatments in clinical practice. Angiogenesis plays a crucial role in tumor (肿瘤) growth and survival. By disrupting this process, anti-angiogenic treatments aim to starve tumors, potentially stopping their growth or even making them smaller. Blood vessels act as a vital delivery system, supplying essential nutrients that enable tumor cells to multiply and spread. When angiogenesis is prevented, the tumor’s access to oxygen and nutrients is restricted, which can lead to cell death and a reduction in tumor size. “By identifying the unique characteristics of the tumor microenvironment and locating the key cells that supply energy to these tumors, we can establish a strong foundation for personalized treatment based on interrupting the nutrient supply,” Yin explained. The team analyzed single-cell RNA data from 31 human cancer types, uncovering distinct and common functions within the cells. Their findings highlight potential markers of disease progression, which could serve as powerful indicators for sustained benefits in future clinical settings. Building on these findings, the research team is actively promoting collaboration between academia, industry, and clinical settings. This collaborative effort aims to develop tools for early cancer detection and guide treatment selection for individual patients. Yin added, “One potential application is a diagnostic (诊断) test kit that identifies early signs of cancer or predicts a patient’s suitability for specific treatments.” This research is in line with Chongqing University’s vision of becoming a top medical school by integrating its engineering strengths with medical research. 1．Which can we infer about mapping blood vessel networks? A．It simplifies the study of angiogenesis in cancer. B．It betters cancer detection and treatment strategies. C．It plays a significant role in tumor growth in vessel. D．It requires competition among scientific institutions. 2．What is the underlying logic of anti-angiogenic treatments? A．To reduce nutrient supply in tumors. B．To enhance the delivery ability of blood. C．To block the formation of essential nutrients. D．To speed up the body’s response to tumor cells. 3．In which aspect will Yin apply their outcomes according to the last paragraph? A．Gene Editing B．Early cancer identification. C．Single-cell analysis. D．Funding for Medical Research. 4．What is the best title of the passage? A．Mapping Cancer to Pioneer a New Frontier B．The Impact of Nutrition on Tumor Growth C．Advances in Early Cancer Formation Strategies D．Understanding Vessel Networks for Cancers 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国研究团队发表了一项突破性研究，绘制了世界上最全面的癌症血管网络图谱，为早期癌症检测、药物开发和个性化治疗策略提供了重要基础，并揭示了抗血管生成治疗在临床实践中的潜力。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“A Chinese research team has published a groundbreaking study in Nature, creating the world’s most comprehensive map of blood vessel (血管) networks for various cancers.

Looney’s transplant (移植) is the third time a kidney from a gene-edited pig has been transplanted into a living human, but previous transplants have been for people who were brain dead or at high risk of dying within months. Looney, who started dialysis (透析) treatment in2016 after developing kidney failure and was listed for kidney transplantation in early 2017, according to NYU Langone Health, where Looney received her transplant surgery, is the first otherwise healthy patient given a genetically edited pig kidney, raising hope that one day pig kidneys could help relieve the ongoing organ shortage. For various medical reasons, Looney could not find a human match, making her qualified for the still-experimental procedure. Looney said in a press conference Tuesday that she feels “blessed” to have received “a second chance at life. ” “I want to give courage to those on dialysis, ” she added. “It’s not easy, and it’s not the only option. There’s hope. ” The world’s first genetically edited pig kidney transplant into a living human was performed earlier this year, but the recipient died nearly 2 months later. The first combined mechanical heart pump and gene-edited pig kidney transplant surgery was performed at NYU Langone in April of this year, but the recipient later died in July. “I think the main difference. . . is that Towana is in much better shape physically. Her disease has not extended to the point where she was at high risk of dying very soon, ” Dr. Montgomery said. When asked about next steps, Montgomery said he’s sure there will be more patients like Looney through the FDA’s expanded access or compassionate use program and that there will be clinical trials starting “probably by this time next year, or even sooner. ” 5．What makes Towana Looney’s transplant special? A．It is the first gene-edited pig organ transplant. B．It is the third successful gene-edited pig organ transplant. C．It is the third gene-edited pig kidney transplant for a living person. D．It is the first gene-edited pig organ transplant for a patient with kidney cancer. 6．Why did Towana Looney choose a gene-edited pig kidney transplant? A．Because it was suggested by her doctor. B．Because she failed to find a human match. C．Because gene-edited pig kidneys are more effective. D．Because she wanted to be part of a medical experiment. 7．What is the main difference of Towana Looney’s condition according to Montgomery? A．Looney is in better physical condition. B．Looney’s recovery period is significantly shorter. C．Looney’s condition has worsened since the transplant. D．Looney’s disease shows no signs of improvement at all. 8．What is the next step according to Dr. Montgomery? A．To give more information on gene-edited pig organs. B．To improve the success rate of gene-edited pig organ transplants. C．To perform more clinical experiments about gene-edited pig organs. D．To communicate with more patients on gene-edited pig organ transplants. 【答案】5．C 6．B 7．A 8．C 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了Towana Looney接受基因编辑猪肾移植手术并且恢复良好，她是第一位身体健康接种基因编辑猪肾的患者。这一实验的成功为已经存在的器官短缺问题提供了解决的希望。 5．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Looney’s transplant (移植) is the third time a kidney from a gene-edited pig has been transplanted into a living human (Looney的移植是基因编辑猪肾第三次被移植到活体人体中)”可知，Looney的移植是第三次将基因编辑猪肾移植到活体人类身上。故选C。 6．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“For various medical reasons, Looney could not find a human match (由于各种医疗原因，Looney找不到适合的人类匹配)” 可知，可知，Looney选择基因编辑猪肾移植是因为她没能找到合适的人类配型。故选B。 7．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“I think the main difference. . . is that Towana is in much better shape physically.

But a team of scientists has discovered that cells from other parts of the body also perform a memory function, opening new pathways for understanding how memory works and creating the potential to enhance learning and to treat memory-related diseases. The research sought to better understand if non- brain cells help with memory by borrowing from a long-established neurological property — the massed-spaced effect — which shows that we tend to memorize information better when studying in spaced intervals (间隔) rather than in a single, intensive period — better known as cramming (临时死记硬背) for a test. In the research, the scientists repeated learning over time by studying two types of non-brain human cells in a laboratory （one from nerve tissue and the other from kidney tissue）and exposing them to different patterns of chemical signals. In response, the non-brain cells turned on a “memory gene (基因)”. To track the memory and learning process, the scientists engineered these non-brain cells to make a protein, which indicated when the memory gene was on and when it was off. The results showed that these cells could determine when the chemical pulses (脉冲) were repeated rather than simply extended — just as nerve cells in our brain can record when we learn with breaks rather than cramming all the material in one sitting. Specifically, when the pulses were delivered in spaced-out intervals, they turned on the “memory gene” more strongly, and for a longer time, than when the same treatment was delivered all at once. “This reflects the massed-spaced effect in action,” says Kukushkin, a clinical associate professor of life science at NYU Liberal Studies. “It shows that the ability to learn from spaced repetition isn’t unique to brain cells, but, in fact, might be a basic property of all cells.” The researchers add that the findings not only offer new ways to study memory, but also point to potential health-related advantages. 9．What can we know from the first paragraph? A．Brain cells process most of the memories. B．Memory-related diseases can be easily treated now. C．Scientists have fully understood how memory works. D．Non-brain cells may have something to do with memory. 10．How did the scientists track memory in non-brain cells? A．By using a specific protein. B．By measuring the size of the cells. C．By comparing chemical reactions. D．By recording the learning effects. 11．What does Kukushkin imply about spaced repetition learning? A．It’s unconnected to non-brain cells. B．It’s strengthened by chemical pulses. C．It’s probably an essential characteristic of all cells. D．It’s usually better than cramming all the material at once. 12．In which field may the findings apply to? A．Genetic techniques. B．Medical treatment. C．Psychological research. D．Behaviour disorders. 【答案】9．D 10．A 11．C 12．B 【导语】本篇是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新研究发现，记忆不仅存在于大脑中，肾脏和神经组织细胞学习和制造记忆的方式与神经元相似。 9．细节理解题。根据第一段“But a team of scientists has discovered that cells from other parts of the body also perform a memory function, opening new pathways for understanding how memory works and creating the potential to enhance learning and to treat memory-related diseases.( 但一组科学家发现，来自身体其他部位的细胞也具有记忆功能，这为理解记忆的工作原理开辟了新的途径，并创造了增强学习和治疗记忆相关疾病的潜力。)”可知，非脑细胞可能与记忆功能相关。故选D。 10．细节理解题。根据第四段“To track the memory and learning process, the scientists engineered these non-brain cells to make a protein, which indicated when the memory gene was on and when it was off.

It’s the second generation of this particular vaccine type, and the improvement shown in this study is significant: eight out of nine young adults given the new vaccine were protected against malaria, compared with one out of eight given the existing one. The new vaccine, developed by researchers from Leiden University and Radboud University in the Netherlands, uses a genetically weakened version of the Plasmodium Falciparum parasite (寄生虫) that causes malaria in humans. This version (GA2) doesn’t trigger malaria, but does prepare the body to guard against it. “These disabled parasites are administered through a mosquito bite and reach the human liver as usual,” says vaccinologist Meta Roestenberg, from Leiden University. “But because of the gene turned off, this parasite cannot complete its development in the liver, cannot enter the bloodstream, and thus cannot cause disease symptoms.” “Meanwhile, this infection (感染) does create a strong immune response in the liver, which can protect the person from a real malaria infection in the future.” Meta Roestenberg added. The GA2 vaccine triggered a bigger and more diverse set of immune cells, the study showed, which explains its much improved effectiveness. Observed side effects were relatively minor, the researchers report, and mostly involved redness and itchiness around the mosquito bites. All participants were put on a course of anti-malaria drugs after the study data had been collected. Progress continues to be made in tackling malaria, whether it’s cutting it off at the source or protecting the human body. However, we’re still seeing almost 250 million cases per year, and hundreds of thousands of deaths – and current vaccines only protect around 50-77 percent of the population, often for not much longer than a year. “In short, the test with our new disabled GA2 parasite performs very well,” says clinical microbiologist Matthew McCall, from Radboud University. “We now plan to test vaccination with similar GA2 parasites in real life.” 1．What do we know about the new vaccine according to this passage? A．It can protect against malaria thoroughly. B．It is more expensive than the existing one. C．It probably works better on young people. D．It is administered through a mosquito bite. 2．What does Meta Roestenberg illustrate in paragraph 4? A．How the new vaccine works. B．What the study focuses on. C．Why mosquitoes are critical. D．When the infection happens. 3．Why does the new vaccine have better effectiveness? A．It has minor side effects. B．It brings parasites to light. C．It can reach the human liver. D．It activated more immune cells. 4．What is Matthew McCall’s attitude toward the new vaccine? A．Optimistic. B．Pessimistic. C．Neutral. D．Doubtful. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了蚊子也可以用来接种疟疾疫苗的全新发现。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Mosquitoes (蚊子) are normally associated with spreading malaria rather than preventing it, but in a new study scientists have used the insects to administer (接种) a promising new vaccine (疫苗) that could offer much better protection against the disease than current options.(通常人们认为蚊子会传播疟疾，而非预防疟疾，但在一项新研究中，科学家利用蚊子来接种一种颇具前景的新型疫苗，与现有选择相比，该疫苗或能提供更有效的疟疾防护。)”可知，这种新疫苗是通过蚊子来接种的。故选D。 2．主旨大意题。根据第四段“These disabled parasites are administered through a mosquito bite and reach the human liver as usual(这些被弱化的寄生虫通过蚊子叮咬进入人体，像往常一样到达肝脏)”，“But because of the gene turned off, this parasite cannot complete its development in the liver, cannot enter the bloodstream, and thus cannot cause disease symptoms.(但由于某个基因被关闭，这种寄生虫无法在肝脏内完成发育，无法进入血液，因此不会引发疾病症状。)”和“Meanwhile, this infection (感染) does create a strong immune response in the liver, which can protect the person from a real malaria infection in the future.(与此同时，这种感染确实会在肝脏内引发强烈的免疫反应，从而保护人体在未来免受真正的疟疾感染。)”可知，Meta Roestenberg在第4段中阐述了该疫苗是如何发挥作用的。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段“The GA2 vaccine triggered a bigger and more diverse set of immune cells, the study(研究表明，GA2疫苗激发了更多种类、数量更庞大的免疫细胞，这解释了其有效性大幅提升的原因。)”可知，这个新疫苗能产生更多的免疫细胞，因此产生了更好的效果。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In short, the test with our new disabled GA2 parasite performs very well(简而言之，我们用新型弱化GA2寄生虫进行的试验效果非常好)”和“We now plan to test vaccination with similar GA2 parasites in real life.(我们现在计划在实际生活中对使用类似GA2寄生虫的疫苗接种进行试验。)”可以看出Matthew认为这个新的疫苗目前表现很好。下一步将在实际生活中做进一步测试。所以态度是乐观的。故选A。 Passage 2 （2024-2025学年广东省深圳实验学校高中园高二上学期期末考试英语试题） Humanoid robots, powered by generative AI (gen AI), hold significant potential to enhance daily life, especially in breaking down longstanding barriers for people with disabilities. However, a considerable gap exists between this exciting promise and the reality of today’s technology. This gap is reflected in user experience. A 2023 study by the “AI for Accessibility” Institute revealed that 39% of users with disabilities feel annoyed by technology’s failure to understand them, compared to 28% of non-disabled users. Nearly half of the disabled users also reported that they must change their behaviors to use a device rather than adapting the device to fit their needs. This is true even while they acknowledge AI’s various potential benefits. The primary reason for this issue is a lack of consideration for diverse user needs during the development process. Many AI technologies are designed without direct participation from the communities they aim to serve. To correct this, the disability community’s slogan, “Nothing about us without us,” must become a guiding principle for developers. The solution, therefore, is to build inclusivity into the design process itself. This means that developers should gather information from the widest possible range of people to create AI with user-adaptable features, allowing customization for diverse needs. This approach treats accessibility as a core requirement from the start rather than an after-the-fact modification. In practice, this requires involving people with disabilities to share their experiences and insights when developing and testing new technologies. A project named Euphonia offers a clear example. It aims to improve speech recognition for users with speech difficulties. Given that the AI is trained on vast amounts of data from people with non-typical speech patterns, it can accurately interpret their commands. For instance, it has helped former football player Tim Shaw communicate effectively again. The system not only understands his directions but can also speak for him in a voice remarkably similar to his own. Ultimately, the goal is to shift our perspective. We should see these technologies not merely as tools but as extensions of the person. This means that what truly matters is closing the gap between designing for people with disabilities and designing with them. 5．What can we infer from the survey in Paragraph 2? A．Disabled people frequently avoid using gen AI. B．Non-disabled people have few gen AI problems. C．Gen AI seldom fails to meet the needs of disabled users. D．Gen AI is not user-friendly enough for disabled people. 6．The author quotes “nothing about us without us” to stress that ______. A．users’ feedback on technologies often gets ignored B．users’ participation matters in designing technologies C．users’ advice hinders the development of technologies D．users’ wishes reflect the improvement of technologies 7．What does the word underlined “modification” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Limitation. B．Creation. C．Adaptation. D．Communication. 8．The author takes the example of Euphonia to show ______. A．technology can independently interact with disabled people B．technology can enhance disabled people’s life quality C．technology can help people communicate effectively D．technology can achieve inclusivity for disabled people 【答案】5．D 6．B 7．C 8．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了生成式人工智能驱动的人形机器人在助力残障人士生活方面的潜力，分析了当前技术与实际需求之间存在的差距及成因，并提出将包容性融入设计流程、让残障群体参与技术开发的解决方案，还以Euphonia项目为例佐证该方案的有效性，最终指出技术设计应从“为残障人士设计”转向“与他们共同设计”。 5．推理判断题。根据第二段“A 2023 study by the ‘AI for Accessibility’ Institute revealed that 39% of users with disabilities feel annoyed by technology’s failure to understand them, compared to 28% of non-disabled users.(‘无障碍人工智能’研究所2023年的一项研究显示，39%的残障用户因技术无法理解他们而感到恼火，而非残障用户的这一比例为28%。)”以及“Nearly half of the disabled users also reported that they must change their behaviors to use a device rather than adapting the device to fit their needs.(近一半的残障用户还表示，他们必须改变自身行为才能使用设备，而非让设备适应自己的需求。)”可知，生成式人工智能对残障用户而言不够人性化。故选D。 6．推理判断题。根据第三段“Many AI technologies are designed without direct participation from the communities they aim to serve. To correct this, the disability community’s slogan, ‘Nothing about us without us,’ must become a guiding principle for developers.(许多人工智能技术的设计没有其目标服务群体的直接参与。为纠正这一点，残障群体的口号‘没有我们的参与，就没有关于我们的决策’必须成为开发者的指导原则。)”可知，作者引用该口号是为了强调用户参与在技术设计中的重要性。故选B。 7．词句猜测题。根据第四段“This approach treats accessibility as a core requirement from the start rather than an after-the-fact modification.(这种方法从一开始就将无障碍性视为核心要求，而非事后的modification。)”可知，modification译为“修改、调整”，与adaptation含义相近。故选C。 8．推理判断题。根据第四段“In practice, this requires involving people with disabilities to share their experiences and insights when developing and testing new technologies.(在实践中，这就要求在开发和测试新技术时，让残障人士参与进来，分享他们的经历和见解。)”以及第五段“A project named Euphonia offers a clear example. It aims to improve speech recognition for users with speech difficulties. Given that the AI is trained on vast amounts of data from people with non-typical speech patterns, it can accurately interpret their commands.(名为Euphonia的项目就是一个清晰的例子。它旨在改善有语言障碍用户的语音识别效果。由于该人工智能接受了大量非典型语音模式人群的数据训练，因此能准确解读他们的指令。)”可知，作者举该例子是为了说明技术能够为残障人士实现包容性设计。故选D。 Passage 3 （2024-2025学年广东省深圳实验学校高中园高二上学期期末考试英语试题） Global sea levels continue to rise, posing a significant threat to coastal populations worldwide. Faced with two major threats: ongoing sea-level rise and predictions that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities could face annual flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects proposed the Floating City as a groundbreaking solution. This design allows urban areas to adapt to rising waters, directly addressing these growing disasters. The proposed city is a wonder of modern design. Structurally, each 25-acre unit houses up to 50,000 residents, with its buildings kept at a height of under 90 meters for stability. Using seawater-resistant materials, these structures are also designed to be flexible, much like bamboo, to resist waves. Energy-wise, the project plans to use a mix of renewable energy sources, getting power from wind, water, and the sun to power the city. A key innovation is its safety system: during extreme weather, platforms can automatically separate and regroup using a system inspired by how groups of fish avoid predators. The project also offers significant environmental advantages. A 2023 study by the Marine Future Institute suggests that, compared to building artificial islands, this floating method protects up to 68% more of the marine ecosystem. Furthermore, its closed-loop system is expected to reduce carbon emissions by over 90%compared to a land-based city of a similar size. However, despite these benefits, significant challenges remain. Financially, the initial construction cost is estimated to be 30% higher than traditional land-based developments. Technologically, the constant exposure to seawater damages materials, with research indicating that up to 15% of a platform’s surface could require repair annually. Moreover, comprehensive emergency plans for events such as tsunamis are still in development. “This isn’t about abandoning coasts,” notes designer Tim Fu, “but evolving with them.” While its long-term success is still debated, the design redefines urban strength under challenging situations. Unlike rigid sea walls that fight against nature, these dynamic structures are designed to harmonize with oceanic rhythms. “Cities must learn to dance with the waves,” Curci concludes. This philosophy could transform humanity’s relationship with rising seas, turning a threat into a sustainable opportunity. 9．What drove Luca Curci Architects to come up with a new design? A．Energy crisis. B．Potential disasters. C．Tourism expansion. D．Overcrowded cities. 10．Which of the following best describes Luca Curci’s design? A．Adaptable and innovative. B．Fictional and renewable. C．Eco-friendly and immovable. D．Wave-resistant and conventional. 11．A major limitation of the Floating City project is that ______. A．its carbon emissions are higher than land-based cities B．it negatively impacts marine life more than artificial islands C．its structures require regular repair due to seawater exposure D．its emergency planning for tsunamis is fully completed 12．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A．Ocean Protection: Life under Threat. B．Rising with the Tides: Floating Cities. C．Connecting to the Future: Eco Solutions. D．Coastal Design: Inspiration from Bamboo. 【答案】9．B 10．A 11．C 12．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Luca Curci建筑事务所为应对海平面上升带来的沿海灾害威胁，提出的“漂浮城市”设计方案，阐述了该设计的结构特点、环保优势，同时分析了其面临的挑战，并点明该设计体现的与自然和谐共生的城市建设理念。 9．细节理解题。根据第一段“Faced with two major threats: ongoing sea-level rise and predictions that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities could face annual flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects proposed the Floating City as a groundbreaking solution.(面对两大主要威胁：持续的海平面上升，以及到2070年亚洲沿海城市将有3660万人可能面临年度洪水的预测，Luca Curci建筑事务所提出了‘漂浮城市’这一开创性的解决方案。)”可知，潜在的灾害促使该事务所推出新设计。故选B。 10．推理判断题。根据第一段“This design allows urban areas to adapt to rising waters, directly addressing these growing disasters.(该设计使城市区域能够适应不断上升的水位，直接应对这些日益严重的灾害。)”以及第二段“A key innovation is its safety system: during extreme weather, platforms can automatically separate and regroup using a system inspired by how groups of fish avoid predators.(其关键创新点在于安全系统：极端天气下，平台能借鉴鱼群躲避捕食者的方式自动分离并重新组合。)”可知，该设计兼具适应性与创新性。故选A。 11．细节理解题。根据第四段“Technologically, the constant exposure to seawater damages materials, with research indicating that up to 15% of a platform’s surface could require repair annually.(在技术层面，持续暴露在海水中会损坏材料，研究表明平台表面每年可能有高达15%的部分需要维修。)”可知，该项目的一大局限是结构因受海水侵蚀需定期维修。故选C。 12．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Faced with two major threats: ongoing sea-level rise and predictions that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities could face annual flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects proposed the Floating City as a groundbreaking solution.(面对两大主要威胁：持续的海平面上升，以及到2070年亚洲沿海城市将有3660万人可能面临年度洪水的预测，Luca Curci建筑事务所提出了‘漂浮城市’这一开创性的解决方案。)”以及第五段“Unlike rigid sea walls that fight against nature, these dynamic structures are designed to harmonize with oceanic rhythms. ‘Cities must learn to dance with the waves,’ Curci concludes.(与对抗自然的刚性海堤不同，这些动态结构旨在与海洋节奏和谐共生。Curci总结道：‘城市必须学会与海浪共舞。’)”可知，文章核心是介绍随潮汐发展的漂浮城市设计。B“随潮而起：漂浮的城市。”符合主题，适合用作标题，故选B。 ( 1 / 39 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
