D.S$82 B On a chilly night in January 1990,Avianca Flight 052 crashed on Long Island,causing great damage.Among the few survivors was eight-year-old Andrea,severely injured and orphaned-she lost her mother and younger brother;only her father survived,horrified by grief. At the hospital,child psychiatrist Dr.Victor Fornari was called in to help.In a temporary emergency room,he met Andrea,pale but alert."Am I going to die?"she whispered.Without hesitation,he replied,"No,you're not."Her quiet courage moved him deeply. With her father returning to Colombia to bury his family,Andrea had to recover alone in a foreign country.Each day brought a fresh wave of loneliness and confusion,the ache of her injuries mixing with the deeper pain of loss.Dr.Fornari noticed her isolation and,moved by something beyond professional responsibility,decided to step in. He visited her three times a day,sometimes just to sit quietly by her bedside while she stared out the window at the gray winter sky.He brought her small comforts-books,crayons,stuffed animals-and encouraged her to talk about her mother and brother when she was ready.Before Andrea left the U.S.,Dr.Fornari pressed his number into her palm,assuring her she could reach him at any time. Years passed,Nine years later,now seventeen,Andrea wrote to tell him she wanted to become a child psychiatrist-inspired by his kindness.Every January 25th,Dr.Fornari thought of her,wondering how she was doing. Then,in 2024,he received a video call.Andrea explained that her youngest daughter had just turned eight and that moment brought back vivid memories of the stranger who had given her hope.For Dr.Fornari,the call was profoundly moving.He realized that one act of genuine care could echo across decades,shaping a life in ways he never imagined. 24.What do we know about Andrea? A.She was the only survivor. B.She lost her parents and brother. C.She was injured but remained calm. D.She viewed Dr.Fornari as a lifesaver 25.Why did Andrea decide to become a child psychiatrist? A.To honor her lost family members. B.To pay it forward to other children. C.To work alongside Dr.Fornari someday. D.To study the mental effects of the disaster. 26.Which of the following can best describe Dr.Fornari? A.Professional and strict. B.Reserved and skilled. C.Ambitious and selfless. D.Empathetic and caring. 27.What is the main purpose of this passage? A.To highlight cross-cultural medical cooperation B.To promote post-emergency psychological support. C.To demonstrate how a kind act can make a difference. D.To raise awareness of long-term impacts on survivors. C Imagine a future where the most powerful computers aren't made of silicon chips,but are grown from living cells.This is the ambitious goal of synthetic()biology.and a team from MIT has just taken a groundbreaking step.They have successfully engineered common baker's yeast()cells to perform basic computational operations,effectively turning them into tiny, self-reproducing biological computers. Traditional computers process information using a binary()code of 0s and 1s, represented by electrical currents.The MIT team's system,however,works differently.They redesigned the yeast's genetic circuits so that specific combinations of chemicals act as "input" signals.When the yeast cell detects these chemical clues,it triggers a chain of internal gene expression,ultimately leading to a visible"output"-for example,the cell giving off a green light under a microscope to signal a"YES"answer,or remaining dull for a"NO". This achievement,published in Science,is revolutionary for several reasons.First,these biological computers are incredibly energy-efficient,running on the same sugar nutrients they east uses to grow.Second,they are self-assembling and self-repairing,properties no silicon-based machine possesses.Most importantly,they can operate in complex,liquid environments inside the body or in ecosystems,where traditional electronics fail. The immediate application lies in smart diagnostics().Imagine taking in a capsule containing these engineered yeast cells.They could travel through your body,detect specific disease markers,and produce a clear visual signal in your waste,offering a cheap and safe diagnostic tool.In the longer term,such "wetware"computers could monitor environmental pollution or even direct the behavior of future living machines. Of course,significant challenges remain.The "calculation"speed of cells is currently far slower than that of electronic computers,and designing reliable,complex genetic circuits is immensely difficult.Yet,this research lights the path to a future where computation is smoothly woven into the fabric of life itself. 28.How does the biological computer indicate its output? A.By giving off an observable signal. B.By detecting specific chemical clues. C.By activating gene expression chains. D.By using a combination of chemicals. 29.What powers the biological computer? A.Sugar nutrients that support yeast growth. B.A capsule containing engineered yeast cells C.The process of assembling and repairing itself. D.Electrical energy generated by genetic circuits. 30.What might challenge the development of biological computers? A.Finding a more energetic organism B.Overcoming major ethical concerns. C.Improving genetic engineering design. D.Developing faster electronic computers. 31.Which of the following is the best title for this article? A.A Brighter Future:How Yeast Will Diagnose Disease B.Encode Information:The Making of a Bio-Supercomputer C.The End of Silicon:Why living Computers Are Taking Over D.Compute Differently:Engineering Cells to Process Information D Once living in our backyards,many pets-for better and for worse-have now become spoiled "fur babies",enjoying constant attention,special treatment,and comforts once reserved for human babies.Many see this as harmless fun,but the increasing tendency to treat pets as "children"can have severe health and welfare consequences for the animals involved. The pet-to-fur-baby evolution can be attributed to many things,including overemphasis on the human-animal bond,ignorance of animals'biological needs,irresistible consumerism and showing off.The principal causes and outcomes of fur babyism have intensified and spread globally.Evidence for this is inescapable and goes beyond the availability of clothes for birthdays. festivals and so on,Strollers,jewellery,nappies,nail polish,birthday cakes and shoes are now available for the modern fur baby,as are“gold standard'veterinary(兽医的)treatments. The adverse health effects of fur babyism are well documented.Take strollers for dogs: while potentially useful for animals with disabilities,their overuse in other dogs can lead to weakening of muscles,joint damage and obesity.Restricting the fur baby's movement limits its natural ability to explore,mark territory and interact with environmental features,such as others of its species,leading to fear and anxiety. Given these potential health and welfare risks,one would expect veterinary experts to take a leading role in opposing the"fur baby"phenomenon.Oddly,attitudes among veterinarians vary widely-some criticize the trend while others support it and even profit from it.The latter is troubling because over-treatment may further harm animal welfare without necessarily improving health.Owners'love for their pets is understandable,but must be balanced by prioritizing the animals'interests.What is far less acceptable is the vet who cashes in on an owner's misguided love for their pet to conduct unnecessary,painful and expensive tests and procedures on an animal that cannot give its permission. All caregivers should reflect on the suffering that may arise when animals are treated inappropriately:that is,as children rather than dogs or cats.And vets chasing the fur baby trend should know better. 32.Which example best illustrates fur babyism? A.Training pets to follow basic commands. B.Taking pets to the vet only when they are ill. C.Celebrating pets'birthday with a special treat. D.Providing pets with daily food and clean water. 33.What does the underlined word"adverse"in Paragraph 3 mean? A.Lasting. B.Negative. C.Surprising. D.Significant. 34.Why do some vets support the"fur baby"trend? A.They value the bond with animals. B.They profit from the pet-spoiling craze C.They show concern for animal welfare. D.They think pets should be treated as kids. 35.What might the author agree with? A.All veterinary treatments are unnecessary for fur babies. B.The fur baby trend will soon disappear with vets'opposition. C.People's love for pets should be based on animals'real needs. D.Pet-owner relationship should be weakened to avoid fur babyism. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 A few days before,I tried clearing out some old schoolbooks.Deep down,I knew I would never read them again.Yet I realized with myself that maybe they would be helpful someday. 36 I am probably not alone in this:this struggle is a phenomenon known as the"Endowment Effect(禀赋效应)” Psychologists who demonstrated the effect found that people demanded a much higher price to sell a bottle of wine they owned than they were willing to pay to buy that same bottle.37 It explains why we are so unwilling to give something up once we own it. Why does this happen?At first,researchers thought it was a classic case of"loss reluctance", where the pain of losing something feels twice as strong as the pleasure of gaining it.38 Psychologists conclude that we value something more simply because it is ours.We project our identity onto the object,making it painful to move on. Fortunately,there is an effective counteraction:shifting your perspective from an"owner"to a "buyer".When you are hesitating to throw something away,ask yourself:"How much would I pay to buy this from others now?"39 If that is the case,it is a clear sign you value the item not for its usefulness,but simply for the endowment effect. 40 Besides turning our homes into storage units for the past,it makes us mentally trapped in them as well.Recognizing this is the first step toward the liberation of living with less. Make space for what truly matters. A.It just feels right to keep them. B.More often than not,the answer is"nothing". C.Thus,a price gap exists between buyers and sellers. D.The cost of ownership is often far greater than we think. E.We often mistakenly believe these items define who'we are. F.That sounds logical,but the real reason is the sense of ownership itself. G.The inconsistency reveals we overvalue things just because we possess them. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30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，选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。 In her small studio,Mia stared at the lump()of clay on the wheel.It was her tenth 41 this week,and still,the form refused to rise as she envisioned.Her hands,covered in 42 clay,trembled with exhaustion and frustration.A voice inside urged her to 43.

Everything changed when his Math teacher,Mr.Wilson,started a new class project called "Learning Together".Each student had to work with a partner for one month before the final presentation.Daniel was paired with Alex.Alex was friendly and well liked by everyone.He played on the basketball team and always had a smile.But Alex found math very difficult.He often failed his math tests. Their first meeting was uncomfortable.Daniel wanted to finish quickly.He explained the math problems in a fast and confusing way.Alex looked lost but kept trying.He asked many questions like,“Why does this formula(公式)work?'or“Can we use a simpler example??"Daniel was annoyed at first.He thought the answers were obvious. One afternoon,after another frustrating study session,Alex didn't leave.He opened his notebook and showed it to Daniel.The pages were full of colorful drawings next to the math problems.Alex had drawn basketball courts to explain angles,and pizza slices to explain fractions."This is how I see the world,"Alex said quietly."I just can't connect it to the numbers on the page.” Daniel looked at the drawings and felt something strange.He realized Alex wasn't lazy or stupid.Alex was trying in his own way.Daniel had never thought about math like this before.For him,math was just rules and answers.For Alex,it was part of life.That evening,Daniel went home and thought for a long time.Maybe,he thought,he could learn something from Alex too. 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。 The day before the presentation,Alex called Daniel,his voice full of worry.

Several factors contribute to its popularity.Firstly,it builds up our strength and improves our overall fitness.Additionally,PE class provides a break from academic stress,enabling us to refresh our minds through physical exercise.Equally important,it provides a golden opportunity to cultivate team spirit,which can hardly be acquired in traditional classrooms. I hope our school continues prioritizing physical education and perhaps introduces more diverse activities like yoga or dance.After all,a healthy body nurtures a sharp mind,and PE class proves that learning extends far beyond the classroom. 读后续写 The day before the presentation,Alex called Daniel,his voice full of worry.Anxious and hesitant,he said that he still struggled to connect those abstract formulas with real life,afraid of ruining their teamwork.Instead of feeling annoyed,Daniel comforted him gently and suggested they build their presentation on Alex's vivid drawings.They spent the whole evening improving the content,with Daniel explaining the logic behind the numbers and Alex adding creative visual details.Both felt quite confident when they finally wrapped up their perfect plan for the next day's show. When standing in front of the class,Daniel did something no one expected.Not only did he invite Alex to share his pizza-slice fraction drawings first,but he also elaborated on the mathematical principles behind them with great patience.It was the perfect blend of creativity and logic that amazed the whole class and earned thunderous applause.Never had Daniel understood so clearly that true excellence lies not in outperforming others,but in learning from differences and growing with others.
