In that case, there is an extreme probability that you will mention Florence Nightingale the wealthy woman who gave off her everything to serve the needy people of her time and become a nurse. It’s safe to say that Florence is the archetype (典型) of contemporary nurses. Florence was born on May 12th, 1820 and her journey to greatness started. She was born into privilege. She was a polymath genius who spoke multiple languages and pioneered the concepts of statistical analysis that are still used today. She even memorized the works of philosophy and would often debate with her father. She had the option of having a society life in a nice big house, with a staff of servants. However, she craved for something worth doing instead of frittering away time on useless trifles. She determined to end suffering in this world as a nurse, but both of her parents disagreed with that, for nursing was considered inferior at that time. Florence over the next 12-13 years tried convincing her parents over and over again, but they didn’t budge. When Florence turned 30, her dad was completely worn out from resisting and then sent her to Germany for nursing training. In 1853 her dream was completely realized and she undertook a job in London at a hospital. Florence didn’t know at the time that she was going to be dragged into one of the bloodiest conflicts in European history — the Crimean War. Nightingale dedicated herself to improving healthcare during the Crimean War, which led to a huge reduction in the mortality (伤亡) rates. It’s difficult to overstate the contributions that Florence Nightingale made to medicine, including her work on sanitation and hygiene and on organizational structures, and especially to nursing. Her work as well as her lite represents the power of a single determined individual who is set on bringing a positive change to society. She pulled off the inevitable and became a legend and immortal in the pages of history. 4. Why is Florence Nightingale mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To praise Nightingale’s genius in multiple fields. B. To present how tough Nightingale’s teenage life was. C. To introduce Nightingale’s impact during the Crimean War. D. To illustrate what modern-day nurses are supposed to be like. 5. What does the underlined word “budge” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Obey. B. compromise. C. Respect. D. Care. 6. Which of the following can best describes Florence Nightingale? A. Intelligent and reserved. B. Ambitious and sociable. C. Single-minded and innocent. D. committed and compassionate. 7. What can we infer about Florence Nightingale from the last two paragraphs? A. Her contribution to the healthcare system was played down. B. She was a game-changing nurse in saving people during the war C. She resisted her parents by devoting herself to a higher calling. D. She intended to participate in one of the cruelest wars in European history. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔这位伟大护士的生平事迹，包括她的成长背景、追求护士职业的决心以及在克里米亚战争期间对医疗保健的贡献等。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“It’s safe to say that Florence is the archetype (典型) of contemporary nurses. (可以肯定地说，弗洛伦斯是当代护士的典型)”可知，文章第一段提到弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔是为了说明现代护士应该是怎样的，因为她被视为当代护士的典型。故选D项。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“However, she craved for something worth doing instead of frittering away time on useless trifles. She determined to end suffering in this world as a nurse, but both of her parents disagreed with that, for nursing was considered inferior at that time. (然而，她渴望做一些有价值的事情，而不是把时间浪费在无用的琐事上。她决定以护士的身份结束这个世界的痛苦，但她的父母都不同意，因为当时护理被认为是一种低下的职业)”以及“Florence over the next 12-13 years tried convincing her parents over and over again (在接下来的12—13年里，弗洛伦斯一次又一次地试图说服她的父母)”可知，弗洛伦斯想要成为护士，但她的父母不同意，她花了12—13年的时间试图说服他们，但他们没有“妥协”，由此可推测，划线词budge意为“妥协”。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Nightingale dedicated herself to improving healthcare during the Crimean War, which led to a huge reduction in the mortality (伤亡) rates. (南丁格尔致力于在克里米亚战争期间改善医疗保健，这导致了死亡率的大幅下降)”以及最后一段中“Her work as well as her lite represents the power of a single determined individual who is set on bringing a positive change to society. (她的工作和生活代表了一个坚定的个人决心为社会带来积极变化的力量)”可推知，弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔致力于改善医疗保健，为减少战争伤亡做出了巨大贡献，同时她的决心和行动也体现了她对社会带来积极改变的坚定信念，所以她是一个有奉献精神和富有同情心的人。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Florence didn’t know at the time that she was going to be dragged into one of the bloodiest conflicts in European history — the Crimean War. Nightingale dedicated herself to improving healthcare during the Crimean War, which led to a huge reduction in the mortality (伤亡) rates. (弗洛伦斯当时并不知道她将被卷入欧洲历史上最血腥的冲突之一 —— 克里米亚战争。南丁格尔致力于在克里米亚战争期间改善医疗保健，这导致了死亡率的大幅下降)”可推知，弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔在战争期间拯救了很多人，她是一位改变局面的护士。故选B项。 C Southern Spain’s landscape in high summer is perhaps best described as “crunchy”, when almost everything green dies-except for the carline thistle (卡琳蓟). Ecologist Carlos M. Herrera was conducting a survey of pollinators in southern Spain when he peered into a thistle blossom. To his astonishment, it felt unmistakably cool — even after hours in direct sun. After measuring the temperature inside the flower heads and the surrounding air, he found the flower heads were routinely nine degrees Fahrenheit cooler than their surroundings, with the difference approaching 18 degrees 1 for some flowers on the hottest days. Sanna Sevanto, a scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, says Herrera’s finding is exciting and could confirm a risky plant survival strategy that has, until now, only been theorized. Sevanto and other scientists have documented apparent self-cooling in tree leaves, but that’s probably a coincidence, she says. To perform photosynthesis (光合作用), leaves need access to carbon dioxide, which enters through tiny holes called stomata on a leaf’s surface. When stomata open to let carbon dioxide in, some water escapes, thereby causing evaporative cooling (蒸发降温) that lowers the leaf’s temperature slightly. But for the Spanish thistles evaporative cooling could be the goal rather than just a side effect of photosynthesis. Herrera suggests the plant could. essentially be sweating sacrificing precious water, extremely rare in Spain’s summers, to prevent its delicate reproductive organs from overheating. Opening stomata in a drought is a big gamble, though, and she notes that so far “we have not observed a plant that would do it to cool themselves.” Herrera has more experiments planned for the next boiling summer. He will adjust a plant’s water supply to try to prove its cooling is really a “sweating” action, and he will look for novelties in the thistle’s root structure that could explain how it is able to take in enough water to invest in cooling. With heat waves more frequent, it’s vital to study the plants’ unusual adaptations. 8. What main discovery did Carlos make about the carline thistle? A. It can cool itself significantly. B. It requires more water than other plants. C. It has a unique method of photosynthesis. D. It is the only plant that survives in southern Spain. 9. What does Sanna Sevanto find exciting about Herrera’s findings? A. They provide a solution to climate change. B They could explain how all plants cool themselves. C. They may confirm a theorized survival strategy for plants. D. They prove that photosynthesis is unnecessary for survival. 10. What can we learn about the cooling mechanism of the carline thistle? A. It depends on air temperature. B. It may sweat at the cost of water. C. Its reproductive organs have cooling capacity. D. Its open stomata ensures a drop in temperature. 11. What can we infer about Herrera’s future research on the carline thistle? A. He will prove the thistle will always have enough water. B. He believes the cooling mechanism is fully understood. C. He will explore how the plant regulates water loss and cooling. D. He is confident the thistle’s adaptations are enough for survival. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇说明文。西班牙南部的卡琳蓟具有独特的自我降温现象，科学家对其进行了研究并提出了相关理论，还计划进一步实验，同时强调在气候变暖背景下研究植物应对高温的适应能力很重要。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Ecologist Carlos M. Herrera was conducting a survey of pollinators in southern Spain when he peered into a thistle blossom. To his astonishment, it felt unmistakably cool — even after hours in direct sun. After measuring the temperature inside the flower heads and the surrounding air, he found the flower heads were routinely nine degrees Fahrenheit cooler than their surroundings, with the difference approaching 18 degrees 1 for some flowers on the hottest days.(生态学家Carlos M. Herrera在西班牙南部对传粉媒介进行调查时，凝视着一朵蓟花。令他惊讶的是，即使在阳光直射的几个小时后，它仍然感到明显的凉爽。在测量了花冠内部和周围空气的温度后，他发现花冠的温度通常比周围环境低 9 华氏度，在最热的日子里，一些花的温差接近 18 华氏度)” 可知，Carlos发现卡琳蓟能够显著地自我降温。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Sanna Sevanto, a scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, says Herrera’s finding is exciting and could confirm a risky plant survival strategy that has, until now, only been theorized.(洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室的科学家Sanna Sevanto说，Herrera的发现令人兴奋，它可能证实一种到目前为止仅存在于理论中的冒险的植物生存策略)” 可知，Sanna Sevanto认为Herrera的发现令人兴奋是因为它们可能证实一种理论上的植物生存策略。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Herrera suggests the plant could essentially be sweating sacrificing precious water, extremely rare in Spain’s summers, to prevent its delicate reproductive organs from overheating.(Herrera认为这种植物实际上可能是在出汗——牺牲在西班牙夏季极为珍贵的水，以防止其脆弱的生殖器官过热)” 可知，卡琳蓟的降温机制可能是以消耗水分为代价“出汗” 来降温。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“He will adjust a plant’s water supply to try to prove its cooling is really a “sweating” action, and he will look for novelties in the thistle’s root structure that could explain how it is able to take in enough water to invest in cooling.(他将调整植物的供水量，试图证明其降温确实是一种“出汗”行为，并且他将寻找蓟类植物根系结构中的新奇之处，以解释它如何能够吸收足够的水分用于降温)”可推断，Herrera未来的研究将探索这种植物如何调节水分流失和降温。故选C。 D In popular culture, neurosurgeons are usually presented in one of two ways: either as highly skilled yet proud experts or as mad scientists. But these portrayals miss much of what modern neurosurgery is, argues Theodore Schwartz, a neurosurgeon and professor at Weill Cornell Medicine. “Gray Matters”, an absorbing new book, goes on a tour through different types of brain, surgery, from seemingly rough emergency treatments for traumatic injuries to high-precision surgeries to implant electrodes that provide relief from obsessive compulsive disorder (多动症). For each, Dr Schwartz skillfully combines explanations of procedures with persona and historical anecdotes and-real-life case studies. The book, like a page-turner, offers a satisfying and varied insight into a fascinating profession. To the outsiders, the details of surgeries are bloody. But in Dr Schwartz’s telling, the impact of these horrible procedures on patients and their families is dramatic and touching. Most of the book documents the history and practicalities of brain surgery, starting in the early 20th century when every procedure was a journey into the unknown. Now, a century later, surgeons have precise maps of patients’ brains thanks to MRI and CAT scans, and are equipped with high-tech kit to make their work more accurate and less invasive. Dr Schwartz is most interesting when he chews on where his field intersects with society. What does a neurosurgeon think should be done about head injury in sports? Not that much, it turns out. As long as athletes are aware of the risks and are appropriately compensated, they should be allowed to hit their heads together if they wish. “Gray Matters” also argues against the conception of free will, using evidence from scientific studies. The brain is increasingly at the centre of the tech world. One of Elon Musk’s companies, Neuralink, is trying to develop a complicated brain implant that can record and transmit neural signals, allowing paralysed patients to control a computer cursor (光标). Meanwhile, a desire to improve the artificial “brains” powering artificial-intelligence software is driving many techies to look for inspiration in real ones. 12. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2? A. To brief the readers on the book. B. To detail the work of Dr Schwartz C. To criticize the popular portrayals of neurosurgeons. D. To give background information about neurosurgery. 13. What’s Dr Schwartz’s attitude to athletes playing sports despite head injury? A. Opposed. B. Dismissive. C. Indifferent. D. Favourable. 14. Why is Elon Musk’s Neuralink mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To highlight the development of brain implants. B. To present how inspiration is drawn from real brains for AI. C. To show the increasing cooperation between neuroscience and technology. D. To praise Neuralink’s efforts being made to develop complicated brain implants. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Human Brains: The Mysteries of Neurosurgery B. Gray Matters: A Deep Dive into Modern Neurosurgery C. Dr. Schwartz: The Remarkable Writer of Gray Matters D. Neurosurgery: From Popular Myths to High-Tech Innovations 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Theodore Schwartz所著的《Gray Matters》这本书，讲述了现代神经外科手术相关内容，还提及该领域与社会的交叉以及和科技的联系。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“‘Gray Matters’, an absorbing new book, goes on a tour through different types of brain surgery, from seemingly rough emergency treatments for traumatic injuries to high precision surgeries to implant electrodes that provide relief from obsessive compulsive disorder (多动症). For each, Dr Schwartz skillfully combines explanations of procedures with personal and historical anecdotes and real life case studies.(《灰质》是一本引人入胜的新书，它介绍了不同类型的脑部手术，从看似粗暴的创伤性损伤急诊治疗到植入电极缓解强迫症的高精度手术。对于每一种手术，施瓦茨博士巧妙地将手术过程的解释与个人和历史轶事以及现实生活中的案例研究结合起来)”可知，这一段主要是向读者简要介绍《Gray Matters》这本书的内容。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“As long as athletes are aware of the risks and are appropriately compensated, they should be allowed to hit their heads together if they wish.(只要运动员意识到风险并得到适当的补偿，如果他们愿意，就应该允许他们互相撞击头部)”可知，Dr Schwartz对运动员即使头部受伤仍参加运动持支持的态度。故选D项。 14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The brain is increasingly at the centre of the tech world. One of Elon Musk’s companies, Neuralink, is trying to develop a complicated brain implant that can record and transmit neural signals, allowing paralysed patients to control a computer cursor (光标). Meanwhile, a desire to improve the artificial ‘brains’ powering artificial intelligence software is driving many techies to look for inspiration in real ones.(大脑越来越成为科技世界的中心。埃隆·马斯克的一家公司Neuralink正试图开发一种复杂的脑植入物，它可以记录和传输神经信号，使瘫痪患者能够控制电脑光标。与此同时，提高驱动人工智能软件的人造‘大脑’的能力的愿望正驱使许多技术人员从真实大脑中寻找灵感)”可知，提到Neuralink是为了展示神经科学和科技之间日益增长的合作。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第二段“‘Gray Matters’, an absorbing new book, goes on a tour through different types of brain surgery(《灰质》是一本引人入胜的新书，它介绍了不同类型的脑部手术)”以及后文对书中关于现代神经外科手术相关内容的介绍，可知文章主要围绕《灰质》一书展开，探讨其对现代神经外科手术的深入剖析。故B项“Gray Matters: A Deep Dive into Modern Neurosurgery(《灰质》：深入探索现代神经外科手术)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you have ever added an extra item to your cart just to get free shipping, you have fallen victim to what is known as “spaving”, defined as the act of “spending more to save more”. ____16____ Here are some tips and tricks you might turn to next time you are tempted to spend a little more just to secure some savings. Take a second to do the math. The language of advertising may lead you to believe you are about to-get a great deal. ____17____ For example, for some “buy more, save more” deals, the percent discount is often the same. However, the original price of a product acts as an anchor, making the discount appear more valuable than it actually is. By doing the math, you’ll quickly realize that the savings aren’t as significant as they seem. ____18____ You won’t feel the impulse to shop sales if you don’t know about them. Consider taking yourself off the email lists from favorite brands so you are not getting informed every time a special is happening. Similarly, don’t walk into a store if you know there is a sale going on. Stay focused on your shopping list. You can avoid adding extra items to your cart if you have a shopping list in hand that you’ve created ahead of time. ____19____ Keep a full list of products that you intend to buy at some point and refer to it when you come across a sale. Pause before purchasing. ____20____ Carry out a 24-hour waiting period before making a purchase as well as to shop around, compare prices or even look for a renewed option. This gives you time to ensure you don’t already own the item or something similar, helping to avoid unnecessary repetition. A. Tum off sales alerts. B. Spave with a purpose. C. But the numbers tell a different story. D. But consider all the potential ways to save the money. E. It can also help you to use sales more to your advantage. F. Just take a moment to decide whether the buy is needed or not. G. To avoid such a trap. it matters quite a lot to interrupt the urge. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. A 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何避免陷入“为了多省钱而多花钱（spaving）”陷阱的方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“If you have ever added an extra item to your cart just to get free shipping, you have fallen victim to what is known as “spaving”, defined as the act of “spending more to save more”. (如果你曾经为了免运费而在购物车里多加了一件商品，那么你就成了所谓的“spaving”的受害者，“spaving”被定义为“为了多省钱而多花钱”的行为。）”以及下文“Here are some tips and tricks you might turn to next time you are tempted to spend a little more just to secure some savings. (以下是一些提示和技巧，下次当你为了节省开支而忍不住多花一点钱时，或许可以参考。)”可知，上文提出“spaving”这一概念，即“为了多省钱而多花钱”，下文则给出避免该陷阱的建议，G选项“To avoid such a trap, it matters quite a lot to interrupt the urge. (为了避免陷入这样的陷阱，打断这种冲动是非常重要的。)”中的“such a trap”指代上文的“spaving”，且提出了避免“spaving”的方法，即打断冲动，承上启下。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“The language of advertising may lead you to believe you are about to get a great deal. (广告语言可能会让你相信自己即将得到一笔划算的交易。)”以及下文“By doing the math, you’ll quickly realize that the savings aren’t as significant as they seem. (通过计算，你会很快意识到节省的金额并没有看起来那么多。)”可知，此处应是在描述广告语言的迷惑性，以及通过计算可以揭示真相，C选项“But the numbers tell a different story. (但数字却讲述了一个不同的故事。)”通过转折，引出实际计算后的真实情况，与上下文逻辑一致，且其中的“numbers”与下文的“doing the math”相呼应。故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“You won’t feel the impulse to shop sales if you don’t know about them. Consider taking yourself off the email lists from favorite brands so you are not getting informed every time a special is happening. (如果你不知道有促销活动，你就不会有购物的冲动。考虑将自己从喜欢的品牌的邮件列表中移除，这样每次有特价活动时你就不会收到通知了。)”可知，此处是在建议避免接收促销信息，A选项“Turn off sales alerts. (关闭促销提醒。)”概括了段落核心内容，可作为小标题。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Stay focused on your shopping list. You can avoid adding extra items to your cart if you have a shopping list in hand that you’ve created ahead of time. (专注于你的购物清单。如果你手里有一份提前制定好的购物清单，你就可以避免往购物车里添加额外的商品。)”可知，此处是在建议制定购物清单以避免冲动购物，E选项“It can also help you to use sales more to your advantage. (它还可以帮助你更好地利用促销活动。)”中的“it”指代上文的“shopping list”，且表明购物清单还可以帮助你更好地利用促销活动，符合语境。故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Pause before purchasing. (在购买前暂停一下。)”以及下文“Carry out a 24-hour waiting period before making a purchase as well as to shop around, compare prices or even look for a renewed option.

My parents opposed this hobby, viewing it as a useless distraction from my college entrance exam preparations — their disapproval deepened my inferiority about my art. Many quiet late nights became my haven: I’d spread the canvas, dip the brush into soft colors, and let each stroke carry away overwhelming study pressure. I kept my paintbrushes and canvases hidden at the closet bottom, wrapped in an old cloth, only daring to take them out when everyone was fast asleep. Last month, our school held an art exhibition, and my art teacher Ms. Davis encouraged us to participate. “Art is a way to express your soul — don’t be afraid to share your works,” she said with a warm smile. Her words stirred my heart, awakening the long-buried desire to let others see my creation. I spent a whole week painting the school’s cherry blossom alley in spring, my favorite spot to wander after class and admire pink petals dancing in the breeze. I mixed soft pinks and gentle whites, adding golden sunlight, pouring all my love for my school and longing for freedom into the piece. Then I signed my name on my painting in a very artistic way. But as the submission deadline approached, I worried my work wasn’t good enough so that others would laugh at it, and feared my parents’ fierce disapproval if they found out. Hesitantly, I rolled up the painting and secretly threw it into the trash can on my way to class. With a weighty heart, I showed up for class the following day, every step feeling heavy. When Ms. Davis noticed I hadn’t turned in any work and asked after class, I lied, saying I hadn’t had time to finish. Later that afternoon, I passed the trash can and saw her standing there, carefully picking up the torn painting pieces and brushing off dust gently. My face burned instantly, and I stood rooted, unable to make a single move to flee. Guilt surged through me as she turned, holding the damaged painting, her eyes filled with sadness. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Ms. Davis approached me with the painting pieces. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A month later, my cherry blossom alley painting was framed at the art exhibition. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Ms. Davis approached me with the painting pieces. She praised its vivid colors, sincere emotions and my dedication. Head lowered, I shared my frustration: my parents dismissed my painting as useless. She took my hand and told me she’d faced similar parental opposition in youth but persisted secretly, proving art’s value. She proposed repairing the painting together and talking to my parents. With her help, we glued the pieces and she added details to hide cracks. That weekend, she visited my parents, showed my painting and explained painting relieved my stress and boosted creativity. Surprisingly, my parents agreed I could continue painting if it didn’t affect studies. A month later, my cherry blossom alley painting was framed at the art exhibition. There a card read, “Art comes from the heart — never give up on your passion.” I thanked Ms. Davis, who credited my perseverance. Many admired the painting. My parents came, looked proud, and my mother apologized. Filled with joy, I realized good teachers protect dreams. Empowered by Ms. Davis’s support, I found the confidence to chase my dream while keeping up with my studies. I still paint in my spare time, and the repaired painting always reminds me of her encouragement. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者热爱绘画却遭父母反对，只能深夜偷偷创作。学校办画展，戴维斯老师鼓励参赛，作者精心绘出校园樱花巷，却因自卑与恐惧将画丢弃。老师发现后捡起画，夸赞作品并帮作者修复，还劝说父母。最终画作在画展展出，父母态度转变，作者也重拾勇气，明白了好老师会守护梦想，决心兼顾学业与绘画热爱。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“戴维斯老师拿着那些画作碎片向我走来。”可知，第一段可描写戴维斯老师鼓励作者继续绘画以及决定和作者的父母谈谈。 ②由第二段首句内容“一个月后，我的樱花小巷画作在艺术展览上被装裱起来。”可知，第二段可描写作者在戴维斯老师的支持下，找到了追逐梦想的勇气。 2.续写线索：拿着画作碎片走来——称赞作品——鼓励作者继续绘画——决定和作者的父母谈谈——作品被展览——找到追逐梦想的勇气 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①赞扬：praise / compliment ②展示：showed /demonstrated ③坚持：persist / persevere 情绪类 ①沮丧：frustration / depression /discouragement ②令人惊讶的是：surprisingly / amazingly 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B Suppose I were to ask you to name some of the greatest nurses that the world has ever known. In that case, there is an extreme probability that you will mention Florence Nightingale the wealthy woman who gave off her everything to serve the needy people of her time and become a nurse. It’s safe to say that Florence is the archetype (典型) of contemporary nurses. Florence was born on May 12th, 1820 and her journey to greatness started. She was born into privilege. She was a polymath genius who spoke multiple languages and pioneered the concepts of statistical analysis that are still used today. She even memorized the works of philosophy and would often debate with her father. She had the option of having a society life in a nice big house, with a staff of servants. However, she craved for something worth doing instead of frittering away time on useless trifles. She determined to end suffering in this world as a nurse, but both of her parents disagreed with that, for nursing was considered inferior at that time. Florence over the next 12-13 years tried convincing her parents over and over again, but they didn’t budge. When Florence turned 30, her dad was completely worn out from resisting and then sent her to Germany for nursing training. In 1853 her dream was completely realized and she undertook a job in London at a hospital. Florence didn’t know at the time that she was going to be dragged into one of the bloodiest conflicts in European history — the Crimean War. Nightingale dedicated herself to improving healthcare during the Crimean War, which led to a huge reduction in the mortality (伤亡) rates. It’s difficult to overstate the contributions that Florence Nightingale made to medicine including her work on sanitation and hygiene and on organizational structures, and especially to nursing. Her work as well as her lite represents the power of a single determined individual who is set on bringing a positive change to society. She pulled off the inevitable and became a legend and immortal in the pages of history. 4. Why is Florence Nightingale mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To praise Nightingale’s genius in multiple fields. B. To present how tough Nightingale’s teenage life was. C. To introduce Nightingale’s impact during the Crimean War. D. To illustrate what modern-day nurses are supposed to be like. 5. What does the underlined word “budge” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Obey. B. compromise. C. Respect. D. Care. 6. Which of the following can best describes Florence Nightingale? A. Intelligent and reserved. B. Ambitious and sociable. C. Single-minded and innocent. D. committed and compassionate. 7. What can we infer about Florence Nightingale from the last two paragraphs? A. Her contribution to the healthcare system was played down. B She was a game-changing nurse in saving people during the war C. She resisted her parents by devoting herself to a higher calling. D. She intended to participate in one of the cruelest wars in European history. C Southern Spain’s landscape in high summer is perhaps best described as “crunchy”, when almost everything green dies-except for the carline thistle (卡琳蓟). Ecologist Carlos M. Herrera was conducting a survey of pollinators in southern Spain when he peered into a thistle blossom. To his astonishment, it felt unmistakably cool — even after hours in direct sun. After measuring the temperature inside the flower heads and the surrounding air, he found the flower heads were routinely nine degrees Fahrenheit cooler than their surroundings, with the difference approaching 18 degrees 1 for some flowers on the hottest days. Sanna Sevanto, a scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, says Herrera’s finding is exciting and could confirm a risky plant survival strategy that has, until now, only been theorized. Sevanto and other scientists have documented apparent self-cooling in tree leaves, but that’s probably a coincidence, she says. To perform photosynthesis (光合作用), leaves need access to carbon dioxide, which enters through tiny holes called stomata on a leaf’s surface. When stomata open to let carbon dioxide in, some water escapes, thereby causing evaporative cooling (蒸发降温) that lowers the leaf’s temperature slightly. But for the Spanish thistles evaporative cooling could be the goal rather than just a side effect of photosynthesis. Herrera suggests the plant could. essentially be sweating sacrificing precious water, extremely rare in Spain’s summers, to prevent its delicate reproductive organs from overheating. Opening stomata in a drought is a big gamble, though, and she notes that so far “we have not observed a plant that would do it to cool themselves.” Herrera has more experiments planned for the next boiling summer. He will adjust a plant’s water supply to try to prove its cooling is really a “sweating” action, and he will look for novelties in the thistle’s root structure that could explain how it is able to take in enough water to invest in cooling. With heat waves more frequent, it’s vital to study the plants’ unusual adaptations. 8. What main discovery did Carlos make about the carline thistle? A. It can cool itself significantly. B.

D In popular culture, neurosurgeons are usually presented in one of two ways: either as highly skilled yet proud experts or as mad scientists. But these portrayals miss much of what modern neurosurgery is, argues Theodore Schwartz, a neurosurgeon and professor at Weill Cornell Medicine. “Gray Matters”, an absorbing new book, goes on a tour through different types of brain, surgery, from seemingly rough emergency treatments for traumatic injuries to high-precision surgeries to implant electrodes that provide relief from obsessive compulsive disorder (多动症). For each, Dr Schwartz skillfully combines explanations of procedures with persona and historical anecdotes and-real-life case studies. The book, like a page-turner, offers a satisfying and varied insight into a fascinating profession. To the outsiders, the details of surgeries are bloody. But in Dr Schwartz’s telling, the impact of these horrible procedures on patients and their families is dramatic and touching. Most of the book documents the history and practicalities of brain surgery, starting in the early 20th century when every procedure was a journey into the unknown. Now, a century later, surgeons have precise maps of patients’ brains thanks to MRI and CAT scans, and are equipped with high-tech kit to make their work more accurate and less invasive. Dr Schwartz is most interesting when he chews on where his field intersects with society. What does a neurosurgeon think should be done about head injury in sports? Not that much, it turns out. As long as athletes are aware of the risks and are appropriately compensated, they should be allowed to hit their heads together if they wish. “Gray Matters” also argues against the conception of free will, using evidence from scientific studies. The brain is increasingly at the centre of the tech world. One of Elon Musk’s companies, Neuralink, is trying to develop a complicated brain implant that can record and transmit neural signals, allowing paralysed patients to control a computer cursor (光标). Meanwhile, a desire to improve the artificial “brains” powering artificial-intelligence software is driving many techies to look for inspiration in real ones. 12. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2? A. To brief the readers on the book. B. To detail the work of Dr Schwartz C. To criticize the popular portrayals of neurosurgeons. D. To give background information about neurosurgery. 13. What’s Dr Schwartz’s attitude to athletes playing sports despite head injury? A. Opposed. B. Dismissive. C. Indifferent. D. Favourable. 14. Why is Elon Musk’s Neuralink mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To highlight the development of brain implants. B. To present how inspiration is drawn from real brains for AI. C. To show the increasing cooperation between neuroscience and technology. D. To praise Neuralink’s efforts being made to develop complicated brain implants. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Human Brains: The Mysteries of Neurosurgery B. Gray Matters: A Deep Dive into Modern Neurosurgery C. Dr. Schwartz: The Remarkable Writer of Gray Matters D. Neurosurgery: From Popular Myths to High-Tech Innovations 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you have ever added an extra item to your cart just to get free shipping, you have fallen victim to what is known as “spaving”, defined as the act of “spending more to save more”. ____16____ Here are some tips and tricks you might turn to next time you are tempted to spend a little more just to secure some savings.

My parents opposed this hobby, viewing it as a useless distraction from my college entrance exam preparations — their disapproval deepened my inferiority about my art. Many quiet late nights became my haven: I’d spread the canvas, dip the brush into soft colors, and let each stroke carry away overwhelming study pressure. I kept my paintbrushes and canvases hidden at the closet bottom, wrapped in an old cloth, only daring to take them out when everyone was fast asleep. Last month, our school held an art exhibition, and my art teacher Ms. Davis encouraged us to participate. “Art is a way to express your soul — don’t be afraid to share your works,” she said with a warm smile. Her words stirred my heart, awakening the long-buried desire to let others see my creation. I spent a whole week painting the school’s cherry blossom alley in spring, my favorite spot to wander after class and admire pink petals dancing in the breeze. I mixed soft pinks and gentle whites, adding golden sunlight, pouring all my love for my school and longing for freedom into the piece. Then I signed my name on my painting in a very artistic way. But as the submission deadline approached I worried my work wasn’t good enough so that others would laugh at it, and feared my parents’ fierce disapproval if they found out. Hesitantly, I rolled up the painting and secretly threw it into the trash can on my way to class. With a weighty heart, I showed up for class the following day, every step feeling heavy. When Ms. Davis noticed I hadn’t turned in any work and asked after class, I lied, saying I hadn’t had time to finish. Later that afternoon, I passed the trash can and saw her standing there, carefully picking up the torn painting pieces and brushing off dust gently. My face burned instantly, and I stood rooted, unable to make a single move to flee. Guilt surged through me as she turned, holding the damaged painting, her eyes filled with sadness. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Ms. Davis approached me with the painting pieces. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A month later, my cherry blossom alley painting was framed at the art exhibition. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
