When Will Fall Leaves Peak For You? —Late September or Early October: The Rockies, the northern parts of Minnesota through Michigan and a stretch from upstate New York to northern New England see peak color first. —Mid to Late October: Potential for peak fall color advances through the Midwest into the Appalachians and much of the Northeast in mid to late October. Most other areas in the western region, including valleys, see fall’s brightest color by this time of year as well. —November: Much of the mid-Atlantic coast and the South are the last holdouts to see peak color in November. Why Do Leaves Change Color? A shorter amount of daylight is the primary factor for the color of the leaves to begin to change. As nights grow longer and cooler, production of the green pigment (色素) slows and eventually stops. This allows the yellow and orange pigments to shine through, revealing the many beautiful colors of fall. What Makes A Good Colorful Season? Location matters: Higher altitudes and northern latitudes cool first, causing earlier color changes. Weather’s role: The perfect recipe includes warm, sunny days paired with cool nighttime temperatures. Soil moisture(湿度): Sufficient soil moisture through spring and summer can help increase the chances of the colorful leaves. Wind warning: If a strong windstorm affects an area that’s near peak color, then it can tear off leaves from trees to some extent, reducing the display of peak color. So grab your camera, plan your trip, and get ready for nature’s colorful delight! 1. When can you enjoy peak fall color in valleys of the western region? A. Late September. B. Early October. C. Late October. D. Mid November. 2. What mainly causes the change of leaf colors? A. Rainy nights. B. Limited sunshine. C. Various pigments. D. Rising temperature. 3. What may ruin the full display of peak color? A. The wet soil. B. The tree species. C. The hot summer. D. The severe storm. B Steve Bagmanyan found his calling in a workshop filled with broken instruments. But every year, the shop brings both joy and heartbreak. Due to budget cuts, the number of technicians has dropped from 60 to just 11, leaving them to repair instruments for more than half a million students in Los Angeles public schools. “The work we do is important and needs to be preserved, but it’s becoming a dying craft,” said Bagmanyan,60, who runs the shop and handles piano repairs. “Children are our future, yet music programs are being cut across the country.” However, there is hope for the shop. The Last Repair Shop, a short documentary featuring Bagmanyan and three other technicians, recently won an Oscar for best documentary short film. The film combines their personal stories with reflections from students who have found comfort and joy in music. Few people even knew the shop existed before the documentary’s release. This workshop, in operation since 1959, is believed to be the last of its kind in the country. Bagmanyan and his team provide free instruments and repairs across the school district, often serving children from low-income families. For many of these children, public schools are their only source of musical instruments, which wealthier families can more easily afford. Since the release of the film, public support has soared. Donations have been made to fund more repairs and strengthen school music programs in Los Angeles. “People are inspired by what we do and want to support a dying art form,” said Ben Proudfoot, who co-directed the documentary. Bagmanyan knows that a poorly maintained instrument can discourage a child from learning. “If an instrument doesn’t work properly, a child might give up on music,” he said. “But when you know the instrument is going to a student who loves it, it’s impossible not to smile.” After 21 years of service, Bagmanyan says his cup is full, knowing that children may carry a love of music with them for a lifetime. “I was planning to retire,” he admitted. “But now I’ll rebuild the shop to what it once was and keep going a little longer.” 4. What is the challenge faced by Bagmanyan? A. Old instruments. B. Declining number of students. C. Low profitability. D. Shortage of skilled technicians. 5. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The career achievements of Bagmanyan. B. The popularity of the documentary. C. The unique history of the school district. D. The importance of the repair shop. 6. How does the documentary impact the shop? A. It enhances the shop’s public image. B. It attracts new business opportunities. C. It helps sustain the shop’s operation. D. It provides education to the community. 7. What do the underlined words “his cup is full” in the last paragraph mean? A. He is ready to retire. B. He feels deeply satisfied. C He is tired of the spotlight. D. He has become very wealthy. C Robert Campbell, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Glasgow, has lived with type 2 diabetes (2型糖尿病) for a decade. Recently, worrying blurriness in his vision prompted him to seek a screening for diabetic retinopathy — a diabetes-related eye disease that causes blindness. Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service. His local clinic, however, was part of a new pilot program using an AI-powered platform for eye disease called “RetinaScan AI”. The process was simple: a staff member took a photograph of Robert’s retina (视网膜). Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community. The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by human tiredness. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert, who require urgent specialist care. “Platforms like RetinaScan AI are game-changers,” explains Dr. Eleanor Reed, a consultant eye doctor. “They don’t replace our expertise; they enhance it. By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss.” The Glasgow pilot has already yielded promising results. In its first six months, the program successfully screened over 5,000 patients, cutting average wait times for screening from 12 weeks to just days. More importantly, it has accurately flagged hundreds of at-risk individuals, like Robert, for early intervention, demonstrating a meaningful impact on patient outcomes. Robert Campbell’s story is just the first chapter. This pilot program paves the way for AI technology to expand globally, reaching millions who need these vital screenings. 8. What problem did Robert Campbell face before the AI program was introduced? A. He was found to have a rare diabetic eye disease. B. He had to wait long for a specialist appointment. C. His local clinic lacked the necessary equipment. D. His eye disease was too advanced to be treated. 9. What is the main advantage of “RetinaScan AI” according to the text? A. It replaces the need for human doctors. B. It provides immediate treatment for patients. C. It is cheaper than traditional screening methods. D. It offers quick and accurate screening in communities. 10. Why does Dr Eleanor Reed call AI platforms “game-changers”? A. They finally avoid vision loss. B. They treat complex diseases. C. They free experts for complexities. D. They work without specialists. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How is AI Transforming Eye Care? B. Is AI the Doctors’ Newest Assistant? C. What Could AI Contribute to Humans? D. Can AI Systems See More Than Doctors? D While previous research has suggested that the human body experiences three rapid phases of aging around ages 40, 60, and 80, the brain’s complex wiring has made similar patterns harder to identify. Now, a new study uncovers the brain’s unique developmental timeline. By conducting an integrated analysis of multiple measures from MRI brain scans of approximately 3,800 individuals, researchers have proposed that the brain’s connective pathways undergo four major turning points at ages 9, 32, 66, and 83, defining five phases throughout a lifetime. The first phase, from birth to age 9, shows the wiry structures (纤细结构) connecting brain regions becoming longer and more complex and the brain is packed with connections. This development temporarily reduces the efficiency of information transfer, as the brain prioritizes building a broad network for learning. A significant shift occurs around age 9, marking the start of the second phase. The pattern reverses, with connections becoming shorter and more efficient, likely due to the hormonal (荷尔蒙的) influences of adolescence. This enhancement allows information to travel faster, potentially supporting the development of higher-order functions like planning and working memory. The third and longest phase spans from age 32 to 66. During this time, the brain continues to change, but at a much more gradual pace. Notably, the pattern shifts back towards a slow decline in the efficiency of connections between different brain regions. Researchers propose that this change could be linked to major lifestyle transitions that often occur in one’s 30s, such as establishing a career or raising a family, or it may simply be a result of the body’s general aging and wear and tear. The final phases are linked to later life. Between 66 and 83, connections within the same brain region are more stable than those between different areas, a period of increased risk for conditions like dementia (痴呆). From 83 to 90, connections between regions weaken further, indicating fewer resources to maintain its network. Understanding these natural turning points provides a crucial framework. It helps explain why mental health conditions often emerge before age 25 and why dementia risk rises after 65. It also allows scientists to identify abnormalities in brain disorders, guiding future interventions. However, further studies are still needed to confirm if these patterns apply to more diverse populations. 12. What can be inferred from the second phase of brain development? A. The brain stops creating new connections to focus on speed. B. Hormonal changes might be a cause for improving the brain’s network. C. The efficiency of information transfer is sacrificed for a broader network. D. This period is the peak of human cognitive performance, which then declines. 13. Why did the author mention “major lifestyle transitions” in paragraph 4? A. To provide a possible explanation for the observed pattern shift. B. To emphasize that brain changes are independent of biological aging. C. To argue that lifestyle choices are the major cause of brain aging after 30. D. To criticize the negative impact of career and family pressures on brain health. 14. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To challenge the previous findings on human aging phases. B. To detail the symptoms of cognitive decline in different life stages. C. To explain a new understanding of the brain’s evolving connectivity. D. To advocate for more MRI scans to analyze the body’s aging patterns. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the findings of the new study? A. Critical. B. Disapproving. C. Favourable. D. Objective. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 During puberty (青春期), your body goes through many changes, and you start forming a body image — how you see, think, and feel about your body’s size, shape, and weight, or specific features like your nose. ____16____ For instance, you may believe your nose is too big or too small, even though it looks perfectly normal. ____17____ One major influence is peer (同龄人) pressure. Your friends might make casual jokes about your appearance, or you might compare yourself to them and feel they look better. Such experiences can harm the way you view yourself. Another powerful influence is the media, which often promotes a narrow, ideal body type. For example, if fair skin is portrayed as beautiful, you may feel insecure if you don’t match that ideal. Developing a negative body image can lead to unhealthy behaviors, such as extreme dieting, overexercising, or even risky plastic surgeries. ___18___ When you focus too much on appearance, you may forget to appreciate other great things about yourself, such as your talents and personality. To build a positive body image, it’s essential to remember that no perfect body exists, as beauty standards are always changing. Models and celebrities may appear flawless in the media, but much of their appearance is due to makeup, angles, lighting, and editing. _____19_____ Rather than focusing on appearances, value people for their true selves. By surrounding yourself with positive influences and avoiding comments on looks, you can redirect your attention from self-criticism. ____20____ Over time, you’ll build inner confidence and develop a healthier, more accepting relationship with your body. A. Many factors shape your body image. B. It also lowers your overall life satisfaction. C. However, your true beauty lies within your heart. D. External judgement can be a double-edged sword. E. Without these tricks, they are just as “imperfect” as everyone else. F. Surprisingly, body image is shaped more by your thoughts than by reality. G. This shift enables you to recognize and celebrate your talents and strengths. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分25分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A student at Hellesdon High School in England has been called “Rubbish Girl” for her environmentally­friendly ways. ___21___, that has not stopped her from cleaning up the environment.

Educational institutions are trying to answer that question."We hope they will not only be prepared for whatever the job market looks like in 10,20 or 50 years but be the ones shaping it," said Jenn Stringer,professor at the University of Californian,Berkeley.Here are some of the approaches they're taking. Some experts argue that the four-year learning model needs to be rethought in a big way. They say education can no longer be seen as something that stops when a person graduates from college.If students could take a year or two off school,get a job,and then return to school a few years later,the education system would offer true life-long learning and better adapt to changing technology. Fewer employers are willing to train people on the job than the employers 50 years ago, largely as part of an effort to cut costs.To fill the job skills gap,some courses are offered as an add-on to a student's main degree.For example,the courses may include data analysis,web design and digital marketing.The goal is to offer students,a degree aside,some advantages when they seek jobs or promotions in the future. Other institutions are trying to imitate the workplace within the traditional classroom. Several colleges have partnered with private companies,such as the software company Adobe, to integrate their products into the classroom.Professors at schools who partner with the company are encouraged to use the product for assignments.The idea is that students learn how to create a project that can be used in the real world and the"soft skills"such as teamwork and creativity. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第六部分 口语交际(满分10分) 另行安排 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 厦门外国语学校2025-2026学年第一学期高一期末考试 英语试题 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分，共12页，满分为150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项：1. 答卷前，考生务必用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔将自己的姓名和准考证号填写在答题卡相应的位置上，用2B铅笔将自己的准考证号填涂在答题卡上。 2. 选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案;在试卷上作答无效。 3. 非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔在答题卡上作答，答案必须写在答题卡上各题目指定区域内的相应位置上，超出指定区域的答案无效;如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案;不准使用涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 4. 考生必须保持答题卡的整洁和平整。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 例： How much is the shirt?

When Will Fall Leaves Peak For You? —Late September or Early October: The Rockies, the northern parts of Minnesota through Michigan and a stretch from upstate New York to northern New England see peak color first. —Mid to Late October: Potential for peak fall color advances through the Midwest into the Appalachians and much of the Northeast in mid to late October. Most other areas in the western region, including valleys, see fall’s brightest color by this time of year as well. —November: Much of the mid-Atlantic coast and the South are the last holdouts to see peak color in November Why Do Leaves Change Color? A shorter amount of daylight is the primary factor for the color of the leaves to begin to change. As nights grow longer and cooler, production of the green pigment (色素) slows and eventually stops. This allows the yellow and orange pigments to shine through, revealing the many beautiful colors of fall. What Makes A Good Colorful Season? Location matters: Higher altitudes and northern latitudes cool first causing earlier color changes. Weather’s role: The perfect recipe includes warm, sunny days paired with cool nighttime temperatures. Soil moisture(湿度): Sufficient soil moisture through spring and summer can help increase the chances of the colorful leaves. Wind warning: If a strong windstorm affects an area that’s near peak color, then it can tear off leaves from trees to some extent, reducing the display of peak color. So grab your camera, plan your trip, and get ready for nature’s colorful delight! 1. When can you enjoy peak fall color in valleys of the western region? A. Late September. B. Early October. C. Late October. D. Mid November. 2. What mainly causes the change of leaf colors? A. Rainy nights. B. Limited sunshine. C. Various pigments. D. Rising temperature. 3. What may ruin the full display of peak color? A. The wet soil. B. The tree species. C. The hot summer. D. The severe storm. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍各地秋季树叶最佳观赏期、变色原因及影响秋色的因素，邀读者赏秋景。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据When Will Fall Leaves Peak For You?中的“Mid to Late October: Potential for peak fall color advances through the Midwest into the Appalachians and much of the Northeast in mid to late October. Most other areas in the western region, including valleys, see fall’s brightest color by this time of year as well. (10月中下旬：10月中下旬，从中西部到阿巴拉契亚山脉和东北部的大部分地区，秋季的色彩可能达到高峰。包括山谷在内的大多数西部地区，在每年的这个时候也会看到秋天最明亮的颜色。)”可知，10 月下旬可以欣赏到西部山谷的高峰秋色。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Why Do Leaves Change Color?中的“A shorter amount of daylight is the primary factor for the color of the leaves to begin to change. (较短的日光量是树叶颜色开始变化的主要因素。)”可知，树叶颜色变化的主要原因是日照有限。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据What Makes A Good Colorful Season?中的Wind warning:部分“If a strong windstorm affects an area that’s near peak color, then it can tear off leaves from trees to some extent, reducing the display of peak color. (如果一场强烈的风暴影响了一个接近峰值颜色的地区，那么它可以在一定程度上撕裂树木的叶子，减少峰值颜色的显示。)”可知，严重的风暴会破坏峰值颜色的充分显示。故选D。 B Steve Bagmanyan found his calling in a workshop filled with broken instruments. But every year, the shop brings both joy and heartbreak. Due to budget cuts, the number of technicians has dropped from 60 to just 11, leaving them to repair instruments for more than half a million students in Los Angeles public schools. “The work we do is important and needs to be preserved, but it’s becoming a dying craft,” said Bagmanyan,60, who runs the shop and handles piano repairs. “Children are our future, yet music programs are being cut across the country.” However, there is hope for the shop. The Last Repair Shop, a short documentary featuring Bagmanyan and three other technicians, recently won an Oscar for best documentary short film. The film combines their personal stories with reflections from students who have found comfort and joy in music. Few people even knew the shop existed before the documentary’s release. This workshop, in operation since 1959, is believed to be the last of its kind in the country. Bagmanyan and his team provide free instruments and repairs across the school district, often serving children from low-income families. For many of these children, public schools are their only source of musical instruments, which wealthier families can more easily afford. Since the release of the film, public support has soared. Donations have been made to fund more repairs and strengthen school music programs in Los Angeles. “People are inspired by what we do and want to support a dying art form,” said Ben Proudfoot, who co-directed the documentary. Bagmanyan knows that a poorly maintained instrument can discourage a child from learning. “If an instrument doesn’t work properly, a child might give up on music,” he said. “But when you know the instrument is going to a student who loves it, it’s impossible not to smile.” After 21 years of service, Bagmanyan says his cup is full, knowing that children may carry a love of music with them for a lifetime. “I was planning to retire,” he admitted. “But now I’ll rebuild the shop to what it once was and keep going a little longer.” 4. What is the challenge faced by Bagmanyan? A. Old instruments. B. Declining number of students. C. Low profitability. D. Shortage of skilled technicians. 5. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The career achievements of Bagmanyan. B. The popularity of the documentary. C. The unique history of the school district. D. The importance of the repair shop. 6. How does the documentary impact the shop? A. It enhances the shop’s public image. B. It attracts new business opportunities. C. It helps sustain the shop’s operation. D. It provides education to the community. 7. What do the underlined words “his cup is full” in the last paragraph mean? A. He is ready to retire. B. He feels deeply satisfied. C. He is tired of the spotlight. D. He has become very wealthy. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Steve Bagmanyan和他的乐器维修店的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Due to budget cuts, the number of technicians has dropped from 60 to just 11, leaving them to repair instruments for more than half a million students in Los Angeles public schools. (由于预算削减，技术人员的人数从60人减少到了仅11人，而他们却要负责维修洛杉矶公立学校超过50万名学生的乐器)”可知，由于预算削减，技术人员的人数从60人减少到只有11人，所以Bagmanyan面临的挑战是技术人员短缺。故选D。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第四段“Few people even knew the shop existed before the documentary’s release. This workshop, in operation since 1959, is believed to be the last of its kind in the country. Bagmanyan and his team provide free instruments and repairs across the school district, often serving children from low-income families. For many of these children, public schools are their only source of musical instruments, which wealthier families can more easily afford. (在这部纪录片上映之前，几乎没人知道这家工坊的存在。这家自1959年就开始运营的工坊，被认为是全国同类工坊中仅存的一家。巴格马尼扬和他的团队为整个学区的学校提供免费乐器和维修服务，服务对象往往是来自低收入家庭的孩子。对于这些孩子中的许多人来说，公立学校是他们获得乐器的唯一途径，而富裕家庭则更容易负担得起乐器)”可知，本段主要讲述了维修工作室的重要性。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第五段中“Since the release of the film, public support has soared. Donations have been made to fund more repairs and strengthen school music programs in Los Angeles. (自这部影片上映以来，公众支持度急剧上升。人们纷纷捐款，用于资助更多的维修工作和加强洛杉矶学校的音乐课程)”可知，这部纪录片帮助维持了工作室的运营。故选C。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章最后一段中“After 21 years of service, Bagmanyan says his cup is full, knowing that children may carry a love of music with them for a lifetime. (在服务了21年之后，Bagmanyan表示his cup is full，因为他知道孩子们可能会将这份对音乐的热爱延续一生)”可知，他知道孩子们可能会将这份对音乐的热爱延续一生，由此可知，Bagmanyan对此感到深深的满足，所以his cup is full意思是“已经心满意足”，与He feels deeply satisfied“他感到非常满意”意思相符。故选B。 C Robert Campbell, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Glasgow, has lived with type 2 diabetes (2型糖尿病) for a decade. Recently, worrying blurriness in his vision prompted him to seek a screening for diabetic retinopathy — a diabetes-related eye disease that causes blindness. Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service. His local clinic, however, was part of a new pilot program using an AI-powered platform for eye disease called “RetinaScan AI”. The process was simple: a staff member took a photograph of Robert’s retina (视网膜). Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community. The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by human tiredness. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert, who require urgent specialist care. “Platforms like RetinaScan AI are game-changers,” explains Dr. Eleanor Reed, a consultant eye doctor. “They don’t replace our expertise; they enhance it. By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss.” The Glasgow pilot has already yielded promising results. In its first six months, the program successfully screened over 5,000 patients, cutting average wait times for screening from 12 weeks to just days. More importantly, it has accurately flagged hundreds of at-risk individuals, like Robert, for early intervention, demonstrating a meaningful impact on patient outcomes. Robert Campbell’s story is just the first chapter. This pilot program paves the way for AI technology to expand globally, reaching millions who need these vital screenings. 8. What problem did Robert Campbell face before the AI program was introduced? A. He was found to have a rare diabetic eye disease. B. He had to wait long for a specialist appointment. C. His local clinic lacked the necessary equipment. D. His eye disease was too advanced to be treated. 9. What is the main advantage of “RetinaScan AI” according to the text? A. It replaces the need for human doctors. B. It provides immediate treatment for patients. C. It is cheaper than traditional screening methods. D. It offers quick and accurate screening in communities. 10. Why does Dr Eleanor Reed call AI platforms “game-changers”? A. They finally avoid vision loss. B. They treat complex diseases. C. They free experts for complexities. D. They work without specialists. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How is AI Transforming Eye Care? B. Is AI the Doctors’ Newest Assistant? C. What Could AI Contribute to Humans? D. Can AI Systems See More Than Doctors? 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍人工智能眼底筛查系统助力糖尿病眼病检测，缩短等待时间并提升诊疗效率。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service. (按照传统流程，他本需要在苏格兰国家医疗服务体系内等待很长时间才能预约到专科医生。)”可知，在人工智能项目投入使用前，罗伯特面临的问题是需要长时间等待专科医生的预约。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community. (短短几分钟内，该系统就完成了自动化评估，以极高的准确率检测出了疾病的细微征兆。这项举措有效突破了传统流程的瓶颈，将专业级别的筛查直接带到了社区。)”可知，RetinaScan AI的主要优势是能够在社区快速且精准地完成筛查工作。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss. (通过承担大量的初步筛查工作，这些系统能让专科医生将精力集中在复杂的诊断和治疗方案制定上，最终避免可预防的视力丧失。)”可知，埃莉诺·里德医生称人工智能平台为“变革者”的原因是，它能帮医生分担基础筛查工作，让专家专注处理复杂的诊疗任务。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“His local clinic, however, was part of a new pilot program using an AI-powered platform for eye disease called “RetinaScan AI”. The process was simple: a staff member took a photograph of Robert’s retina (视网膜). Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community.(然而，他所在的当地诊所是一个新的试点项目的一部分，该项目使用了一个名为“RetinaScan AI”的人工智能眼病治疗平台。流程很简单：一位工作人员给罗伯特的视网膜拍了一张照片。在几分钟内，该系统提供了一个自动评估，以惊人的准确性检测到疾病的细微迹象。这一举措有效地跳过了传统的瓶颈，将专家级别的筛查直接带到社区。)”并结合全文可知，文章以糖尿病患者罗伯特的经历为切入点，介绍了AI眼底筛查系统RetinaScan AI的工作流程、技术原理，以及它在提升筛查效率、优化医疗资源配置上的作用，核心是说明人工智能技术对眼科诊疗领域的变革。选项A“人工智能如何改变眼科医疗服务？”为最佳标题。故选A项。 D While previous research has suggested that the human body experiences three rapid phases of aging around ages 40, 60, and 80, the brain’s complex wiring has made similar patterns harder to identify. Now, a new study uncovers the brain’s unique developmental timeline. By conducting an integrated analysis of multiple measures from MRI brain scans of approximately 3,800 individuals, researchers have proposed that the brain’s connective pathways undergo four major turning points at ages 9, 32, 66, and 83, defining five phases throughout a lifetime. The first phase, from birth to age 9, shows the wiry structures (纤细结构) connecting brain regions becoming longer and more complex and the brain is packed with connections. This development temporarily reduces the efficiency of information transfer, as the brain prioritizes building a broad network for learning. A significant shift occurs around age 9, marking the start of the second phase. The pattern reverses, with connections becoming shorter and more efficient, likely due to the hormonal (荷尔蒙的) influences of adolescence. This enhancement allows information to travel faster, potentially supporting the development of higher-order functions like planning and working memory. The third and longest phase spans from age 32 to 66. During this time, the brain continues to change, but at a much more gradual pace. Notably, the pattern shifts back towards a slow decline in the efficiency of connections between different brain regions. Researchers propose that this change could be linked to major lifestyle transitions that often occur in one’s 30s, such as establishing a career or raising a family, or it may simply be a result of the body’s general aging and wear and tear. The final phases are linked to later life. Between 66 and 83, connections within the same brain region are more stable than those between different areas, a period of increased risk for conditions like dementia (痴呆). From 83 to 90, connections between regions weaken further, indicating fewer resources to maintain its network. Understanding these natural turning points provides a crucial framework. It helps explain why mental health conditions often emerge before age 25 and why dementia risk rises after 65. It also allows scientists to identify abnormalities in brain disorders, guiding future interventions. However, further studies are still needed to confirm if these patterns apply to more diverse populations. 12. What can be inferred from the second phase of brain development? A. The brain stops creating new connections to focus on speed. B. Hormonal changes might be a cause for improving the brain’s network. C. The efficiency of information transfer is sacrificed for a broader network. D. This period is the peak of human cognitive performance, which then declines. 13. Why did the author mention “major lifestyle transitions” in paragraph 4? A. To provide a possible explanation for the observed pattern shift. B. To emphasize that brain changes are independent of biological aging. C. To argue that lifestyle choices are the major cause of brain aging after 30. D. To criticize the negative impact of career and family pressures on brain health. 14. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To challenge the previous findings on human aging phases. B. To detail the symptoms of cognitive decline in different life stages. C. To explain a new understanding of the brain’s evolving connectivity. D. To advocate for more MRI scans to analyze the body’s aging patterns. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the findings of the new study? A. Critical. B. Disapproving. C. Favourable. D. Objective. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项新研究，研究揭示了大脑连接路径的四个主要转折点及五个发展阶段。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“A significant shift occurs around age 9, marking the start of the second phase. The pattern reverses, with connections becoming shorter and more efficient, likely due to the hormonal influences of adolescence.(大约在9岁时会出现一个重大转变，标志着第二阶段的开始。这种模式发生逆转，连接变得更短、更高效，这可能是由于青春期荷尔蒙的影响。)”可知，荷尔蒙变化可能是大脑网络提升的一个原因。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The third and longest phase spans from age 32 to 66. During this time, the brain continues to change, but at a much more gradual pace. Notably, the pattern shifts back towards a slow decline in the efficiency of connections between different brain regions. Researchers propose that this change could be linked to major lifestyle transitions that often occur in one’s 30s, such as establishing a career or raising a family, or it may simply be a result of the body’s general aging and wear and tear.(第三阶段也是最长的阶段，从32岁持续到66岁。在此期间，大脑继续发生变化，但速度要慢得多。值得注意的是，这种模式又转变为不同脑区之间连接效率的缓慢下降。研究人员提出，这种变化可能与人们30多岁时经常经历的重大生活转变有关，比如建立事业或养育家庭，也可能仅仅是身体自然衰老和磨损的结果。)”可知，作者提到“重大生活方式转变”是为了为观察到的模式变化提供一种可能的解释。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Now, a new study uncovers the brain’s unique developmental timeline. By conducting an integrated analysis of multiple measures from MRI brain scans of approximately 3,800 individuals, researchers have proposed that the brain’s connective pathways undergo four major turning points at ages 9,32,66, and 83, defining five phases throughout a lifetime.(现在，一项新的研究揭示了大脑独特的发展时间线。通过对大约3800人的MRI脑部扫描中的多种测量数据进行综合分析，研究人员提出，大脑的连接路径在9岁、32岁、66岁和83岁时经历四个主要转折点，定义了人一生的五个阶段。)”以及下文对大脑发展阶段的详细解释可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是解释对大脑连接性演变的新认知。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Understanding these natural turning points provides a crucial framework. It helps explain why mental health conditions often emerge before age 25 and why dementia risk rises after 65. It also allows scientists to identify abnormalities in brain disorders, guiding future interventions. However, further studies are still needed to confirm if these patterns apply to more diverse populations.(理解这些自然的转折点提供了一个至关重要的框架。这有助于解释为什么心理健康问题经常在25岁之前出现，以及为什么65岁以后患痴呆症的风险会增加。它还使科学家能够识别大脑疾病中的异常，指导未来的干预措施。然而，仍需要进一步的研究来证实这些模式是否适用于更多样化的人群。)”可知，作者客观地陈述了新研究的发现及其意义，同时也指出了研究的局限性，因此作者对新研究的态度是客观的。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 During puberty (青春期), your body goes through many changes, and you start forming a body image — how you see, think, and feel about your body’s size, shape, and weight, or specific features like your nose. ____16____ For instance, you may believe your nose is too big or too small, even though it looks perfectly normal. ____17____ One major influence is peer (同龄人) pressure.

Educational institutions are trying to answer that question."We hope they will not only be prepared for whatever the job market looks like in 10,20 or 50 years but be the ones shaping it," said Jenn Stringer,professor at the University of Californian,Berkeley.Here are some of the approaches they're taking. Some experts argue that the four-year learning model needs to be rethought in a big way. They say education can no longer be seen as something that stops when a person graduates from college.If students could take a year or two off school,get a job,and then return to school a few years later,the education system would offer true life-long learning and better adapt to changing technology. Fewer employers are willing to train people on the job than the employers 50 years ago, largely as part of an effort to cut costs.To fill the job skills gap,some courses are offered as an add-on to a student's main degree.For example,the courses may include data analysis,web design and digital marketing.The goal is to offer students,a degree aside,some advantages when they seek jobs or promotions in the future. Other institutions are trying to imitate the workplace within the traditional classroom. Several colleges have partnered with private companies,such as the software company Adobe, to integrate their products into the classroom.Professors at schools who partner with the company are encouraged to use the product for assignments.The idea is that students learn how to create a project that can be used in the real world and the"soft skills"such as teamwork and creativity. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: To help students better suit and reshape the ever-shifting work landscape, colleges are taking various measures. (要点1) Firstly, life-long and adaptive learning model is expected to replace the present 4-year one. (要点2) Besides, additional training programs beneficial to acquiring practical job skills are provided for college students. (要点3) Moreover, some colleges cooperate with enterprises to make classrooms more like workplaces and enhance students’ all round capabilities. (要点4) 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇概要写作。 【详解】第1步:根据文章内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。文章第一段用提问的方式引出主题：大学在帮助学生们适应不断变化的职场起到什么角色？所以本文的内容概要是为了帮助学生更好适应职场，大学采取了各种各样的措施。要点1要先写出文章目的。要点2第二段讲到第一点措施offer true life-long learning and better adapt to changing technology.终身和适应型学习模式预计会替换现在4年教育。要点3在第三段some courses are offered as an add-on to a student's main degree.有益于获得工作技能的格外的培训项目被提供给大学生。要点4.在最后一段：大学和公司合作把课堂营造成职场并加强学生全面能力。 第2步:根据写作要求,确定关键词(组) , 如: beneficial to 有益的； are provided for 被提供 Moreover 而且, some colleges cooperate with 合作；enhance students’ all round capabilities增强全面的技能. 等。 第3步:根据提示及关键词(组)进行遣词造句,注意主谓一致和时态问题。 第4步:连句成文,注意使用恰当的连词进行句子之间的衔接与过渡，书写一定要规范清晰，保持整洁美观的卷面是非常重要的。 【点睛】本文内容完整,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当。作者在范文中使用了较多高级表达方式,如To help students better suit and reshape the ever-shifting work landscape, 和Moreover, some colleges cooperate with enterprises to make classrooms more like workplaces and enhance students’ all round capabilities.中都出现非谓语动词的运用，全文中没有中国式英语的句式,显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外, 文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然,为文章增色添彩。 第六部分 口语交际(满分10分) 另行安排 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
